Seonghwa's head laid on my shoulder as I read my book while we were on the mini bus on the way to the photoshoot. Although his tiny snores were vibrating through my ears, I still found it extremely cute. Thankfully, the manager didn't mention anything about us since his repeated warnings still ring through my mind every time he looked at us through the rear view mirror. There were moments where we had forgotten that our relationship was a secret. Seonghwa would sometimes hold my hands or lean in to kiss me but instantly realise what he was doing.

While we were in the waiting room, everything was ten times worse. Everywhere we looked there was staff. My conclusion was to stay with Woosan all day, therefor no one suspected anything.

Jongho was the first to have his hair and make up doing so I accompanied him to his photoshoot. As I sat monitoring, I realised how professional and photogenic they all were. Although, Jongho's concept was serious, I couldn't help but find him cute.

When it was Wooyoung's turn I saw hands covering my eyes. "What are you doing?" I asked.

"I don't want you to see him differently, especially since he saw you naked." Seonghwa said.

I turned around to face him, he was pouting. "Are you jealous?" I asked with a sarcastic tone as I poked his chest.

His cheeks turned a light blush pink. "Of Wooyoung? Heh... That's ridiculous." His voice was tight.

"Then I'm going to turn and watch him model." I teased, slowly moving my body in the other direction.

Seonghwa grabbed my shoulders and fixed my view on him. I failed to hold in my laugh "Look who's shy now." I joked.

He moved his mouth to my ear and whispered "Just wait till we are in a private place."

I felt literal shivers travel down my spine. As he lifted his head up, there was a huge smirk planted on hid face. I nudged him and he poked my cheek and walked off since it was his turn. My focus was on him as he made his way in front of the camera, giving me a quick glance before changing his expression. His whole face became serious as he posed in various ways. I watched on the monitor as each picture came through. I had always known Seonghwa was handsome but when I looked at the photos I was immediately more attracted. His duality amazed me.

I found a vending machine in a vast hallway and decided to buy a soda. Just as I was about to picket up my drink, I felt a strong grip on my wrist, my arms were pined above my head. I became face to face with Seonghwa. "What are you doing? We're in public." I said.

He looked in all directions, only to see empty hallways. "I don't see anyone." He replied.

At that moment, he crashed his lips onto mine. He wrapped one arm around my waist and the other through my hair. I quickly moved my head away "We can't. not here." I warned.

I found myself staring at his plump lips, struggling to resist the urge until I eventually gave up. I allowed my hands to travel up his shirt, feeling his hard abs. I opened my mouth inviting his tongue inside. My back hit the vending machine as his lips travelled down my neck, causing me to release a quiet moan.

Both of us froze as we heard a loud gasp coming from the other end of the hall. Hongjoong stood idle, his hand covering his mouth. After a moment he stormed up to us with his index finger waving. "What do you two think your doing?" He asked, searching our surroundings.

We stood up straight and wiped out mouths. Hongjoong buried his face in his hands and pushed his hair back. "You could have picked a more private place, you know." He sighed. "Come on, everyone is waiting for you two."

We followed Joong into the waiting room with our heads lowered. I sneakily gave Seonghwa a quick glace and yet I struggled to hold in my laughter. Even though, the situation was awkward, we could only laugh it off to make ourselves feel better.

As soon as we entered to room Yeosang said "For gods sake." He threw himself back in his seat. "What have you been doing?"

"Have a guess." Hongjoong said with his eyebrows raised as he sat down.

Yunho's eyes were wide open "In public?"

I threw my hands in the air "No one was around, you're making this bigger deal than it is."

I got no response, just silent judgemental eyes staring at me. I just sighed and sat down. The staff had already left leaving the nine of us waiting for the manager. The next thing I know, Wooyoung comes up to me with a camera. "ATINY! meet Yeosang's twin sister Kang Yeosoon." He introduced. He pointed the camera on me individually. "Say hello to ATINY." He instructed.

Awkwardly I waved at the camera and said hello. Re-focusing the lens on himself, he started speaking to himself "In truth, none of us knew they were even twins this morning..."

"What is he doing?" I asked in a whisper.

Seonghwa leaned closer to me and replied "The Ateez log."

I nodded in realisation.

Finally, the manager stormed into the waiting room with a face like thunder. His attention focused on me and Seonghwa. "I have told you two multiple times what would happen if you went a step further. And look. You've gone and done it."

Hwa and I made instant eye contact, our eyes widened. "How did you know?" Seonghwa asked.

"What do you mean how do I know? It's all over twitter!" He argued.

Within seconds, we all checked our phones. I gasped at what I was seeing. A video of me and Seonghwa not even half an hour ago in the 'empty hallway'. The same video had been shared all over social media with negative captions. 'Who is this bitch?!', 'How could he do this to us?'.

I didn't know how to respond to it. I felt the members eyes on us, I couldn't tell whether they felt bad or disappointed. I buried my face in my hands "How the hell are we going to explain this?" I moaned.

"Maybe we don't do anything." Seonghwa said.

Everyone's eyes where on him. "Are you joking?" The manager said.

"It's not like it was going to be a secret forever. It was bound to come out anyway. Better sooner than later." Hwa explained.

As much as I didn't want our relationship to be a secret, even I knew that it was a terrible idea. The thought of having thousands of people hating me just for dating hi already hurt my conscience. I even feared that it would ruin our relationship.

"I'm going to take you all home. I'll talk to the company to see what we can do. Meanwhile, you lot should figure something out too." The manager said.
