Go StrongIndependentWoman Hayi is what she likes to call herself. From thesis to commission works, she's got it under control. But, there's one thing she can't control-Song Yuvin. How can someone so annoying exist in this world?

"What kind of surprise will he have?" Hayi wonders as she was walking to the cafe. "Did I leave my sketchbook again?" She gasps. "Idiot. You were drawing on it earlier." She immediately answers to herself before knocking her head. "I can't think of any reason why he would surprise me unless he's asking me to be his girlfr-" Hayi suddenly halts from walking to throw some punches in the air. She would look really cute right now if this was a romantic comedy drama, but she's in the real world in a real street with real people looking at her as if she was possessed, but she doesn't care. She's in her own world right now. "I said, let's not get too ahead." She reminds herself. "Stay calm, girl." And she proceeds to walk.

"What's up?" Hayi asks a group of boys hanging out at the cafe. She was open to the possibility that Yuvin might not be asking her out on a date, but she didn't expect that there will be other people with them today. Yuvin's face brightens up as he turns to her. "Tada! I found you workers!" He cheerfully presents to her the regulars at the convenience store; none other than the X-Men. "What do you mean?" "We're going to help you on your thesis!" Yuvin explains. "No, you don-" Hayi is about to reject but they all stood up and saluted in unison, "We're at your service!" Well, there is no escape. Now that the boys surely know her situation, thanks to a certain Mr. Cho, Hayi knows that they will help her with her thesis whether she likes it or not. Why was she insisting on working alone anyways? "Okay." She tells them and they all clap their hands. She was about to feel bummed out upon realizing that she isn't having a date with Yuvin today, but she is thankful that what Seungyoun said the other day was right; that there are people who are willing to help her.

Things really got easier for Hayi with the help of X-Men and Sejin. From planning to buying materials for her thesis, they chipped in their ideas.
"How and when will you decorate if you use a real location? There will be people coming in and out." "But if she recreates it, then that's a heavy load of work. We're going to start from scratch." "It would be so much secure though." "Yeah, and we're used to making all sorts of sets anyways." "How about the materials? Are we going to use real shelves?" "The convenience store has spare shelves." "Recreating the space would be the best option now. At least, you'd get to have control over the whole area."

After a week of meetings and materials shopping, Hayi with her whole crew started working on the execution of her thesis. Fortunately, there were no more scheduled shows on the Black Box for the rest of the term, so Seungwoo was able to successfully reserve the place under Hayi's name until her thesis presentation day. Sejin, Byungchan, and Jinhyuk went to Hayi's dorm to help her carry the paintings and props, while Yuvin, Kookheon, and Seungyoun went to the convenience store to transport the spare shelves to the school.
At the box, Yuvin gives out directions to the boys about the placement of materials as he is holding the layout of the exhibit, while Hayi herself handles the installation of the paintings. Kookheon and Sejin fill the shelves with props as the tall boys Byungchan and Jinhyuk put black drapes onto the ceiling to limit the area of the set. Then, there is Seungyoun who is carrying Jinhyuk's camera to document the whole process. "Ms. Go Hayi! How are the preparations going so far?" He asks Hayi while impersonating a news reporter. "It's going fine! Things are actually moving faster than what I expected." Hayi genuinely answers. "Right? So, do you think it was a good decision to have helpers?"
Although Seungyoun already knows what Hayi is going to answer, he felt that the girl still needs to say it and hear it from herself. Sometimes, saying things out loud is an act of validation; acceptance. "Yeah, I think I made a good decision." Hayi sincerely says to Seungyoun, to the camera, and to herself.
