It was now Friday, three days after the field work in Seoul and the fight between Jungkook and Seonghwa.

These past few days have honestly been the strangest days of this year, for many reasons.

Jimin had been trying to avoid you at all costs and you didn't know why. You tried getting him alone but he always managed to find a way out.

Seonghwa has also been avoiding you but only when Jungkook was there which you understood.

Jungkook has been trying to find any excuse to try and go everywhere with you and even tried to persuade you to work for Zeus so that you would stay with him.

Namjoon has been awfully nice to you, making you think that he was up to something but he had been at it for three days.

Jaeho has been trying to get you alone with Jungkook several times, saying that you were a good influence to him while Myunghee was trying to get you away from Jungkook as he was causing you trouble.

You felt like a toy and everyone had a hold on you, pulling and tugging away at you as they pleased.

"I'm just saying, she has dealt with Jungkook for long enough now. She needs a rest" Myunghee argued.

"But Jungkook is already becoming a better person just by being around her! I say she needs to stay with him more so that he won't cause any more trouble" Jaeho retaliated.

"What about you guys stop talking like I'm not here?" You asked, annoyed at the conversation already.

"Well you're usually not here, why aren't you in the food hall with Jungkook? Aren't you supposed to be babysitting him?" Jaeho questioned, taking a bite of his lunch.

"Because if I sat in there, Jimin would be sitting on his own since he's avoiding me, Jungkook would be annoying me to join Zeus forever, Namjoon would be making me uncomfortable because of how nice he is recently and just because I want to have a normal lunch. Happy?" You listed out the reasons quickly, eyeing the two as you did.

"Why are you uncomfortable about the ice king being nice to you?" Myunghee took a bite of her apple after asking.

"Didn't you just answer your own question?"

"Hmm true, but shouldn't him being nice be a good thing? When you're around him, he actually looks like a decent human being- ow!" You flicked her forward to shut her up.

"You can't say that, Myunghee. You're a trainer for Eros' sake"

"Not his trainer..." rolling your eyes, you continued to eat your lunch.

"Ugh, tomorrow is the outing again" the Eros trainer stated exasperatedly.

"Like what we did on Tuesday?" You asked.

"Yeah but this time the mentors are stepping back and letting the new recruits do most of the work" the Athena trainer clarified.

"Are we going to Seoul this time too?"

"Yeah but to another rough part-" Jaeho was interrupted by the sound of knocking on the staff room door which lead to the person opening it. Namjoon walked through and scanned the room with a straight face until he reached you and a smile had replaced it.

"Y/N, can I have a chat?" You looked at the two sitting with you who only wriggled their brows at you to which you gave them each a kick under the table.

"Yeah sure, I'll be out now" nodding his head, he left the room and waited for you outside after closing the door behind him.

"Ow! What was that for?!"

"Yeah! Are you wearing steel shoes or something?!"

"Don't pretend like you don't know" you stood up and dropped your tray off at the sink before leaving the room to where the ice user was waiting.

"What did you want to talk about?" Turning his head, he unfolded his arms and smiled at you.

"I just wanted to let you know that you'll be joining me tomorrow with the others on our outing"

"...is that it? You needed to talk to me in private about that?" You were confused, he could have easily told you later or even on the coach there tomorrow.

"No that's not all. Do you want to go out and have dinner with me later?" Taken aback, you blinked in response as you tried to comprehend what was being said.

"Sorry, could you say that again?" He chuckled at your reaction before taking a step closer and leaning down slightly.

"Do you want to go out to eat dinner with me later?"

"Oh- err yeah sure...?" His smile grew wider at your answer and he suddenly became nervous after your response.

"Okay, we'll meet up at 7? I'll message you where to meet me" looking a bit out of place, you nodded at the taller hero who then waved good bye before walking off. You stayed in the same place, looking at where he once stood while having the moment repeat in your mind.

"... oh my- maybe he killed someone and he wants me to bury the body with him and that's why he's being so nice to me?!" You slapped your hand over your mouth in shock, thinking maybe you hit the nail on the head until you realised the problem. Why would he need my help? He's strong enough to take care of things like this on his own, you thought before going back inside the staff room.

"What did he say?"

"Yeah what was the private chat for?" Both of them looked eager to find out, hoping that it was some gossip that they can get excited about.

"He just wanted to tell me that I'm joining his group tomorrow... that's it"

"What?! That's it?! Yeah right, what did he really say?" Myunghee urged on.

"No that was it. I'm surprised too" you lied. You knew that it was better to not tell them, otherwise they would not shut up about it any time soon.

"Tsk, what a boring life you live" Jaeho commented.

"Lunch is over, I'm going to work now" you ignored both of them as they mocked you while you left the room.

"... there is something going on between them"

"For once, we agree on something"
