Infinite

Chapter Seven

When Na-ri woke up to the sound of her alarm the next morning, one thing she was not expecting was the amount of phone calls and texts she had received. At least ten missed calls from her mothers and just as many from her manager. She hastily sat up in her bed and opened the link her manager sent her. She was not sure what she should have expected when she opened the article. What she saw, was not anything she had anticipated. The article had two pictures one of her holding hands with Jihun walking towards the café, and the other of them smiling at each other while drinking their coffees. The entire article speculated that they were dating, the beautiful model and the popular CTF star. They assumed that the Infinite hat she was wearing was Jihun's and that she had adorably borrowed it as his girlfriend.

"Omo!" she exclaimed "Omo, omo, omo" she kept repeating as she rushed towards Jihun's room. She opened the door to his room abruptly, which caused him to sit up in his bed in a panic. Na-ri turned away quickly once she realized he was not wearing a shirt.

"Mianhe," she said, "I should have just knocked."

"It's okay," he said pulling on a shirt quickly, "What is wrong?" Na-ri turned around slowly and once she saw he had a shirt on she walked towards him and showed him the article. He started to laugh a little. "Ah, these reporters." He assured her then that Dal hyung and Jisu noona would take care of it. "We should really focus on the match coming up in a few days."

"Araso," she said, "Sorry again for barging in so suddenly, I'll go get ready." She smiled and bowed slightly before going back to her room to change and wash up.

Jihun had just walked up to his desk when he noticed Na-ri along with Jisu noona, her mother, and another woman who he assumed was her manager. It seemed like they were having a serious meeting. Once they all stood up and bowed to one another, Jihun quickly sat down and started up his computer. Na-ri sat down at her desk with a sigh and turned on her computer.

"Everything okay?" Jihun asked her. Na-ri turned to him with a smile and nodded.

"They wanted to hear from me whether or not it was true." She said with a slight chuckle. Jihun felt himself blush a little. "They almost seemed disappointed that it wasn't" she said as she loaded the training program and then looked at him. "I would have thought it would be the opposite."

"Crazy," he said with a nervous chuckle and put on his headphones. Na-ri looked at him for a second when a thought popped up in her head. Did he want it to be true? She shook her head slightly at the though before also putting on her headphones. Did she want it to be true? No, no way she thought, she cannot think about this right now. After a few hours, Na-ri stood up and stretched before walking over to the small kitchenette to grab a water. Min Yi-soo, Choi Yong-sun and Seo Woong were all gathered around

"We should!" Woong said insistently "We should let loose and relax a little." Yi-soo nodded in agreement.

"We have been training so hard," Yi-soo said "It would be nice."

"What would?" Na-ri asked curious as she walked in to grab a water. All three boys turned around quickly as if they had been caught. She gave them a funny look before opening her water.

"We were talking about going out for drinks later." Yong-sun admitted

"Ah, guerae?" she asked, "That sounds like fun." They all looked at her surprised.

"Noona," Woong said, "Would you want to come?" she smiled and nodded.

"Ask everyone to come," she suggested "It would be a nice way for us all to bond a little more don't you think?" the boys nodded excitedly. She ushered them all back to the training room noting to them the more they trained now they earlier they could possibly go. They all eagerly rushed back to their computers. Laughing she placed her now empty water bottle in the recycling before heading back to her own computer to continue training.
