Park Jimin was at it again. The man was like a tom cat in constant heat, always looking for the next thing he could hump, always trying to mark his territory. While Yoongi was doing his spiel to introduce the next song, Jimin sat next to Kim Yeoreum on the other side of the radio booth. Why the man was even there when his show was already over, Yoongi didn't know. Frowning, he stared at the screen in front of him where the title and the artist of the song flashed.

"Yeah, uh, so... well---" What did Jimin say that made Yeoreum smile at him like that? "---here's Decalcomania by Jeon Jungkook."

Damn, I totally screwed that up!

Through the glass separating them, Yoongi glared at both Jimin and Yeoreum

Through the glass separating them, Yoongi glared at both Jimin and Yeoreum. Neither of them noticed, of course, because for some reason, whatever Jimin was saying was oh so amusing. Lowering his mic volume, he cracked his knuckles then typed a message on their studio group chat.

Min Yoongi: Kim Yeoreum-nim, if you're done flirting, can you please prepare for the next segment?

He pressed the "remind" button to cause the chatbox to shake.

Slow Rabbit: Kekekeke

Slow Rabbit: *takes out the popcorn*

Kwon Do Hyeong, AKA Slow Rabbit, was their sound mixer. After giving Yoongi a cheeky grin, he elbowed Yeoreum and brought her attention to the chat. After reading his message, she had the gall to look annoyed. Meanwhile, Jimin said something that caused Yeoreum to roll her eyes.

What did he say? And why isn't she replying to my chat?

He pressed the remind button again. Soon after, he received Yeoreum's reply.

Yeoreum(*3*): If you read the broadcast clock, you'll know you're supposed to read the letter next.

Yeoreum(*3*): Then we'll be taking calls.

Yeoreum(*3*): Also, I don't appreciate the flirting comment. Let's keep it professional, okay?

Slow Rabbit: :O

Slow Rabbit: Shots have been fired!!!

Yoongi looked up. She was staring directly at him. Even from a few feet away, he could tell she was furious. Curiously, though, he was thrilled by the fact. At least now, Jimin no longer held her attention. Smirking, he typed his reply.

Min Yoongi: I read it and I'm just doing my job

Min Yoongi: while reminding you to do yours

Slow Rabbit: Wooo this is getting heated

Slow Rabbit: Shall I call the fire brigade?

Yeoreum(*3*): Shut up, Do Hyeong-ssi!

Min Yoongi: Shut up, hyung!

Slow Rabbit: Is this what it's like to be caught in the crossfire? *thinking*
