"Your manager is still out of the country he gets back in a month so you'll have to bare with being around me a bit more than normal for awhile more." Baram says putting down her clip board and sitting on Hyuk's giant couch in his living room.

"Is that really so bad?" He says plopping down next to her

She leans her head on his shoulder. "Mmm you tell me..." Hyuk kisses the top of her head

"Ya know what that interviewer said before was right... We'd make a great pairing.."

The young woman sat up, "Are we really going through this again? You know your fan base follows you like a hawk and they're already suspecting me. And I thought after I told you about what happened while I was at school you'd understand I'm still sensitive."

"But can we really still keep being lowkey like this... Babe I feel serious about you." He also sat up leaning in connecting his chapped lips with her soft cherry chapstick covered ones. The kiss was short but Kwon Hyuk always made sure to make every kiss passionate and memorable.

"I know, I know I'm sorry. I- you know I'm not.. good at all this. I'm trying to get over it and I wanna be here for you. I wanna be with you! I really do!"

"I understand, you know I do. Just think about it... for me." He smiled at her

"I will, I promise." She gives him a quick peck then grabs her clipboard. "Now before I forget you have a performance tomorrow night and then we fly to Jeju Island for 2 performances and a few interviews. I'll pack your bags before I leave tonight. I'll back at 6am, make sure to get enough sleep. Workaholic." She smiles at the man giving him a last quick kiss on his cheek then leaving to pack his bags for him.

Thanks to the drastic upgrade in salary being Kwon Hyuk's assistant compared to an arcade attendant and his stern advice to live close to him, I moved into a pretty luxurious condo about 30 minutes away from my pervious place. It's quite big and had a parking garage for people who're willing to rent its spots, which once again Hyuk sternly advised me to have.

As I pull up to one of my many spots I quickly realize someone is standing in it. They were in all back with a hoodie and jeans with a face mask and cap to cover their features. 'I didn't think this area had a lot of drug addicts.' I honk my horn for them to move but they just stood there and stare at my car. Getting irritated I roll down my window.

"Hey this is my parking spot can you move!?"

At the sound of my voice they begin to approach my side of the car. 'Shit great, I'm gonna get yelled at some drug junkie..' They get to my window and bend down to be level eyed with me.

"Long time no see Baram."

That voice, I can't put my finger on it but I've heard it before...

They person lowers their black face mask and takes off their cap. I gasp.

"Ch-Changbin?!"

"Hey..."
