Chapter Four

Na-ri woke up the next morning and quickly took a thorough shower, shaving and scrubbing herself as clean as she could be. She had stepped out of the shower, wrapped herself with a towel and was putting lotion on her legs when the bathroom door to Jihun's room opened.

"Heol!" Jihun exclaimed at the same time she said Aigo. "I am so sorry!" he said and immediately clapped his hand over his eyes. Slightly embarrassed she shook her head as she grabbed her lotion bottle and headed towards her room.

"I'm at fault," she insisted, "I clearly forgot to lock the door." With that she scurried and quickly went into her room locking the door behind her. She put her hand on her heart as she breathed out.

On the other side of the door Jihun did the same, his heart racing and his cheeks bright red at recalling what he had seen. He was getting concerned that he had started to fall for her, and so quickly too. While he had always admired her as a competitor the thought of being something more, seemed thrilling and exciting. That concerned him, CTF was his life, his passion. He shook his head trying to shake off the feeling. There was a slight knock on the door.

"Jihun oppa?" Na-ri said, her calling him that made his heart pound slightly. He cleared his throat trying to collect himself.

"Ye-yes?" he said, stammering clearing his throat again, he grimaced embarrassed.

"I'm headed downstairs to leave," she said somewhat shyly "You're more than welcome to come if you'd like."

"Ah yes," he said unlocking her door and slowly opening it "Um, yes I'll come otherwise those boys will be a nuisance for you."

"See you in a bit then," she said and headed out towards downstairs. She had cleared it with her manager, the photographer, as well as Jisu eonnie on having the team come with her. Well, those that wanted to come at least. As she walked towards the front door, she noticed everyone was there waiting, she was impressed at their punctuality. Jihun was not far behind. She cleared her throat unsure of what to do next. Kim Chul noticed her and jumped excitedly towards her.

"So where are we going?" he asked her. Internally she thanked him for breaking the silence first.

"Come," she said linking her arm with his "I'll tell you on the way." As they headed towards the site for the photo shoot, she explained what the campaign was for.

"It's for a skincare line," she explained to them "I'm not sure what they'll have me do though. Could be anything." They all looked at her wide eyed.

"They don't tell you?" Woong asked her. She shook her head,

"Generally, no," she said, "I know who it's for or what, but not the how." She looked out at the window she had given the driver the address she had been given but had no idea where it was that they were going. She supposed it was not all that wise to not know. Though it did appear that they were headed to the beach. She looked back at them "As you are my teammates, my new family so to speak– I want to be honest and open with you." She noticed them all smile as she said that "I clearly made a mistake at not doing so with Ace, though I don't regret leaving them."

"Thank you for inviting us." Yi-soo said "It should be fun!" they all agreed with him. Jihun smiled but quickly hid it, he did not want to give it away that he too was looking forward to seeing what this was like.

They arrived at the site for the shoot and all clambered out of the bus, they all waited to Na-ri on what to do. She just told them to follow her and roam as they wished, but to not be disruptive. She met with her manager who directed her to wardrobe, hair, and make-up. She was put in a long gorgeous flowy black dress, and her hair was curled in a very beach wave way, her makeup was minimal but made her grey eyes pop out. She stood up once they had finished, walked out of the tent towards the area she had been told to go to.
