*Listen to Someone's Someone by Monsta X while reading this chapter*

Wonho never made it to my apartment that night. I wasn't surprised. The guys like to practice late most nights.

I get up early the next morning. Today will be a busy day for me and Monsta X. Their producer is coming and will be watching their new choreography. The boys have been practicing so hard that the choreography should be perfect. Their producer always has something to say about it no matter what. They have to be perfect. I worry about them all the time because they work so hard.

I get ready quickly and I walk to work. I'm lucky that my apartment is so close to Starship. I decided to make the move soon after I got hired into the company. The trip from my parents house to Starship was too much for me and I needed a shorter commute. This place popped up when I was looking up apartments and I knew that I had to have it. It is perfect and close to where I work.

I walk into the building and wave to the girl at the front desk. She was hired around the same time as me. We always wave at each other. I take off down the hallway and head to the practice room where we are all meeting today. I stop outside the door and open it. As soon as I open the door I see the producer inside and I almost shut the door again. This guy is so intimidating. I can't imagine what it feels like to be one of the boy's when this man is around. I bow my head and head inside. 

"Good morning." I tell him. He slightly bow his head as he eyes me.

"What time will they be here?" He asks and ignores my greeting. I almost scowl at him. Always business with this guy.

"I told them 9," I look down at my phone and see that it's 8:57. "They still have a few minutes."

This guy has the audacity to look annoyed. Boys hurry up before I kill this man. Nobody disrespects the queen in her palace. The practice room door opens and I breathe a sigh of relief. The boys pile into the room and I smile. My saviors from this grumpy man is here.

"Good morning, boys!" I say happily. I get smiles from all of them.

"Good morning, Tabby!" Comes from each of them. I clap my hands once.

"Are you all ready for this?" I ask them and this is when I notice that something isn't right. I look at all the guys in front of me and then I count them to make sure. Where is my 7th member? Shit. I look at Shownu.

"Where's Wonho?" I ask him seriously. He looks at me and then down the line of boys. They all do the same then look at me again.

"Didn't even notice he wasn't here." Minhyuk says softly.

"He's part of this group. How could you not? Aren't you the leader here?" I look at Shownu again. I can't believe this is happening today. The producer probably thinks I've lost my mind and also lost a member.

"I'm sorry, queen." Shownu replies.

"Where do you think he is?" I ask them all. I'm going to go find him while everyone else stays here to practice.

"Try the gym." Hyungwon suggests. I nod. Good idea. He is at the gym all the time. I turn to their producer.

"Please excuse me. You can start practice." I tell him. He sighs.

"Get into formation." He orders the boys. I glance at them before leaving the practice room. I feel bad for them, but I really need to go find Wonho.

I grumble as I walk into the hall. I can't believe that he's late. It really isn't like Wonho, but everybody loses track of time sometimes. I head straight to the companies gym and hope that this is where he is. Otherwise I'm going to be calling him and I don't know if I can be calm about it. This is an important day for them and this is happening.

I open the gym door and go inside. I look around the room and there across the room is Wonho with his back turned to me. I start walking over when he turns around like he knew I was coming. This is when I realized he is shirtless and I almost turn right around and go back through the gym door. I keep walking though and stop in front of him.

"You know you're late right?" I ask him and place a hand on my hip. Wonho nods.

"I know and I'm sorry. I was about to leave when you came in." He explains.

"Your producer has already started practice, so you need to get your ass in there."

"Shit. I'm sorry, Tabby." He says softly.

"You can practice extra today." I reply and start to turn around. My foot gets caught on a weight on the floor and I start to fall backwards. Wonho quickly reaches out and wraps his strong arm around my waist before I can fall. My hand reaches out and lands on his bare chest. As soon as I feel his bare skin under my hand I almost jump right out of his arm. I look up at Wonho and he is already looking down at me. I try to avoid his eye contact and clear my throat.

"Thank you." I mutter. He keeps watching me and then he starts to smile softly.

"I just saved the queen." He says softly. I almost start smiling after he says this. I then realize that my hand is still on his chest and I quickly take it away. I right myself and step away from Wonho.

"We should probably go." I tell him. He nods and I turn around and hurry out the door not caring if he's following me or not. I let out a deep breath I didn't know I was holding.

"Oh god. What just happened?" I ask myself. I just touched his bare chest for god sake. That should not have happened. I groan and stop outside the practice room. I have to compose myself before I walk inside. I can't let the guys see that I'm flustered. I don't want to answer those questions.

I groan again, but louder this time. My thoughts go back to how it felt to touch Wonho's bare chest and my heart skips a beat. Oh feelings are so annoying.
