Park Haneul, a Youtuber, though not famous but rather well-known, moved to live with her uncle, Jinyoung Park, JYP for short, during summer break in hopes of getting away from her psycho ex-boyfriend, Zach Reynolds.
She gets close with the group St...
Seungmin and Haneul's eyes widened as they stared at each other in shock.
JYP was just outside her door and he didn't know that Seungmin was there- cuddling with Haneul.
The two abruptly sat up from the bed, Haneul pushing Seungmin towards her walk-in closet, leaving a gap on the door for air supply.
She grabbed Seungmin's shoes and hid them under her bed before finding her way to her door, opening it right after she fixed herself.
"Hey, u-uncle." She smiled nervously, her voice shaking.
Why was she nervous, again? And why did she hide Seungmin? They weren't on a secret relationship or anything.
"Haneul!" He grinned, raising a plastic bag. "I brought you lunch."
"Oh, thanks." She said and grabbed it from his grip. "If that's all, I'm gonna go back to bed be-because my c-cramps are- are painful." She wasn't lying, her cramps were still there but she was mostly trying to get rid of him for Seungmin.
"Oh, yeah. By the way," her uncle leaned in and whispered. "When I got here, there was a black car outside. But it left right after."
Seungmin, who was hearing the conversation, mentally sighed and shook his head as he had lost his transportation.
"Alright. Be safe." He gave her a peck on the forehead before turning on his heel.
Haneul sighed and began to close her door, but JYP stopped and turned back to her with a raised brow.
"Are you wearing men's perfume?"
Both of the teens' eyes widened, Haneul quietly cursing Seungmin under her breath before looking up with a fake smile.
"Oh- I thought I could make to the company today and my perfume was all gone so I used yours. Sorry." She lied. "But now, it seems that I can't go due to my cramps."
JYP's mouth formed an 'o' as he nodded, patting Haneul's head.
"I'll give you medicine tomorrow, then. And we could go shopping so that I could spoil you with uncle and niece fun time." He grinned and waved as he went on his way.
Haneul closed the door with a thud, letting out the heaviest sigh. Seungmin blasted his way out of her closet while fanning himself as it was very hot inside there.
"Perfume? Really?" She accused with a glare.
Seungmin rolled his eyes. "I'm a grown man. Besides, you got yourself a shopping spree with JYP thanks to me." He said.
"Yeah, whatever. You should go now."

Haneul had already taken the period-cramps medicine her uncle gave her and now she's on her way to his office for their 'fun time' together.
Haneul found his door and knocked on it a couple of times before JYP called her in.
"Hey-" she stopped when she saw that he was on the phone, rubbing the bridge of his nose before slapping it against his forehead.
"Yeah, yeah. See you there." Those last two words JYP said before he ended the call crushed Haneul's heart.
They were supposed to spend their time together today, but it seems like JYP had a mix of his schedule.
"I'm sorry, dear." He frowned, looking back at his pouting niece.
Haneul was disappointed but nevertheless, nodded as she understood how hard and important her uncle's job was.
"It's okay." She said softly, lowering her head as she rocked back and forth on her feet.
JYP let out a sharp exhale, walking around his table and stopping in front of Haneul. His hands found it's way to his back pocket and he pulled out his wallet.
Haneul eyed his movements hopefully, it widening once she saw him take out a black credit card.
"Holy moly." She gasped when her uncle handed it to her.
She hesitantly grabbed it, carefully examining it as it was a very special card.
"I heard Itzy has a free time today. Go to them and I'll tell their manager to drive you to the mall today." He said with a smile.
Haneul shrieked in excitement, jumping to hug her uncle as she wrapped her arms around him.
"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" She squealed, leaning up to kiss his cheek. "You the BEST!"
JYP chuckled at her reaction before he took out his phone to make a call.

"A black card? Seriously?!" The Itzy girls turned around and leaned from their seats in the car as they examined the rectangular thing on Haneul's fingers.
"I know! I'm shocked!" She couldn't help the huge grin that spread across her face.
"Oh, wow. Lucky." Ryujin pouted and stomped her foot lightly like a whiny baby.
Haneul scoffed playfully. "Actually, we all are lucky because he wanted you guys to join me on a shopping spree."
The girls' eyes widened. "I thought we were just going to like- guard you or something?" It was now Yeji who talked, gasping dramatically.
Haneul shrugged as the the girls squealed happily. "You guys are an Idol group. I don't think guarding me was in the contract." She remarked, to which they all laughed at.
Their car parked at the basement parking area of the mall, and they got out of the car.
They walked inside the mall with linking hands while their manager walked behind them.
"Clothes! Come on!" Haneul pulled the group into a store and they quickly seperated to examine the shirts and pants they liked.
"So how are you and Seungmin?" Yeji asked as she and Haneul stood next to each other while looking at the same rack of shirts.
The girls' ears perked up at the question, listening attentively as they checked out clothes.
Haneul blushed as she thought of yesterday. "W-what do you mean by that?" She asked, chuckling nervously. "We're not dating."
Yeji smirked. "I didn't say that."
Haneul's jaw fell as she turned to look at the girl. "Oh." She said before gulping. "What did you mean, then?" She looked away from their teasing looks and acted as if she wasn't affected at all.
"I meant, are you guys still fighting?" Yeji continued.
Haneul stopped in her tracks as she recalled the past interactions. If she thought about it, Seungmin hadn't really been teasing her much.
Instead, it seemed as if he knew her the most, and he was there when he needed her.
Her heart rate quickened at the thought, not knowing that she was staring blankly into space.
"Hello? Earth to Haneul?" Lia waved her hand in front of her face, snapping her out of her trance.
"Oh, yeah." She cleared her throat. "He's- he's still an idiot."
The Itzy girls smiled at each other, clearing back their chuckles as they watched the oblivious Haneul make her way away from them.
