"It can be her training ground." Chanyeol begged their manager. "Raise your hand if you agree that Ina will be our opening act in one of our shows in Japan?" Suho asked the other members. Everyone raised their hand. Their manager is surprised. "She's been working hard for 5 years now and I think she's ready to get on the stage!" Chanyeol said. "Okay okay! Just one show." Their manager finally gives up. Kwanghee smiles at him and apologizes at him secretly.

She performs the opening act. Everyone is surprised to see her. They loved her.

After her performance, she goes down and starts crying. Chanyeol rushes to her and hugs her. "I can't believe I just did that." She said happily. Everyone patted her back and congratulated her.

She slowly feels unsatisfied with her projects from SM. She stops visiting SM for a quiet some time.

One day, she starred in a movie and it turned out really successful. She is then invited to guest with her fellow actors from the movie in Happy Together.

"According to the other actors in the movie, there is someone you'd want to meet personally." Jae Suk said. "Huh?" Ina said. The other cast looked at her in a teasing way and started teasing her. "Yeah. When that person is sad in the survival program he is in, the next day, you'll see Ina really sad as well and would talk about how cool that guy was in the previous episode." A senior said. Ina realized who they are referring to and started blushing. "Oh. So you have a crush who's in a survival program? A trainee?" Jae Suk asked. "Uh. Yeah." She answered shyly. "Don't worry. This will just stay between us. But-but you see, being in a survival program can be tough and i'm pretty sure he needs to support." Jae Suk said playfully. "Yeah. You never know when you'll be able to meet him. You should really tell him how you feel before the survival program ends." Another fellow actor said. "Yeah. At least tell him you're rooting for him." Another one added. They all started convincing her.

"Hi. I know you're going through so many things. Uhm-I'm rooting for you. I know you can do it. Good luck." Ina finally said. "Huh? How would he know it's for him if you didn't say his name?" Her senior said. Ina grew really red. They all started laughing. She secretly becomes annoyed. "Hi, Kim Hanbin. I just want you to know that i'm rooting for you and your team. Good luck." She said and they couldn't stop teasing her. She covered her face with her hands.

Chanyeol saw all of this on TV.

"So you like B.I. huh?" Chanyeol asked. "He's just my ideal type." Ina answered. "I'm also a rapper. Why can't I be your ideal type?" He said and made a cute face. She looked at him and giggled. "You are my ideal type." She answered as she pinched his cheek. He immediately hugged her.

"Ey! You're always clinging to her everytime you see each other." Kai immediately scolds him. He then frees her from his arms and starts fixing her messy hair. "Why don't you just date already?" Sehun teased. ""Hey! She's too young to date!" Minho immediately joins in the conversation. "She'll always be our little sister, understand?" Taemin added. Chanyeol examines Ina's expression. She just smiles at them.

After receiving the call from YG, she immediately calls Chanyeol who is currently in China and tells him YG's offer. In the other line, Chanyeol couldn't help but to feel sad after hearing it. "He even told me about guesting in Mix and Match. That's almost close to debuting." She said excitedly. "But SM might take it differently if you leave the company and immediately make appearance as a YG artist?" Ina can hear the worry in his tone. "I don't know. This is a huge opportunity, close to finally making a name for myself." She said. "He even promised he'll take care of the media if this becomes a huge issue." She added. Chanyeol felt more hurt as Ina expressed her wanting to change agencies. "I'm sorry. I know this is so sudden." She did not hear any response from Chanyeol which made her more worried. "Please support me on this one? I've been working hard for 6 years in this company and I never got the chance to make a name here so let me make this happen, okay?" She said. "Okay." He started sobbing. Ina can hear it in the other line. She feels hurt after hearing Chanyeol cry. She also starts crying. He hangs up the phone.
