"sohn chaerin! has the new mc hosts come in yet?" a staff called out.

"not yet! we're still waiting on them!" i yell back. "huiyeon and i will be going to the stylist room now!"

huiyeon, my co-worker/friend and i head back to where were supposed to be. we were on lookout to wait for the new idol mc's to come by but they haven't arrived yet.

"hey who do you think the new hosts are going to be? it's kind of exciting to figure out who it could possibly be." she asks me. "i can't guess!"

"didnt they announce it online? one of them is going to be sungchan of nct, another is going to be yujin of iz*one." i said, recalling the knowledge i have.

"so... who's the last one? normally it's one girl and two boys right?"

"i have no clue i—" mid sentence, i suddenly slip onto a slippery part of the hallway and hit someone who ended up holding my shoulders to keep my balance.

"oh my god i'm sorry!" i bowed without looking at who i bumped into but as soon as i looked up, i saw someone who was very attractive.

"oooh! park jihoon of treasure, hello!" huiyeon bows and he bows back, smiling normally as if i didn't bump into him.

"he's the host with sungchan and yujin! how do you not know him?" huiyeon whispered to me.

"ah!— i'm sorry for my clumsiness! sorry i haven't been a staff here for a year so i get clumsy sometimes!" i say, bowing once more.

damn, aren't i stupid? i literally embarrassed myself in front of an IDOL. the last time this happened to me was when i faced cix's kim seunghun.

"cute." he lightly chuckled, mumbling that as he ruffled my hair. i began to blush madly when i know i shouldn't react this way.

this is the same type of attraction i felt with kim seunghun. he called me cute and so did jihoon just now. why do i get flustered easily...

"well my dear friend chaerin here is your stylist before you start filming for inkigayo." huihyeon says as she puts her hands on my shoulders and taps them.

"uhh.. yeah!" i say, awkwardly smiling. "what? i thought i was doing the other guy?" i whispered to huihyeon.

"no it's okay, i've worked with other nct members so i'll be good with sungchan." she says. "you also need to stop being flustered around idols you find attractive and you've been here long enough to know that!"

"i... can't help it?? they're attractive, it's not my fault!" i shrugged as she laughed and went to the other room.

every room here, there were different stylists and different idols preparing for the music stage. it was quite nerve wracking for me since i don't normally get boy idols ready, and whenever i do.. they always seem to be the attractive ones.

"well, shall we go to our stylist room?" jihoon says as he ends up leading the way to the room he was assigned and so i followed him.

i shut the door behind me and he was already sitting in front of the mirror. "are you normally this shy around idols?"

"no..." i say awkwardly. "i'm not even shy right now."

"you're very interesting chaerin." he says as i'm perfecting his hair. "you seem like someone who attended the same college as me too. do you?"

"i dropped out of school actually." i say. i was curious as to why he was giving a small talk to me. i didn't know that he's really talkative compared to other idols i've worked with.

"we're fellow dropouts. we should be friends! i'm sure we're the same age." he says as he pulls out his phone, opening his kakaotalk and showing his id.

"that is the first time... an idol actually wanted to be friends with me." i tell him as i stop what i'm doing to look at him. "why though?"

"you interest me quite a lot chaerin. i know i won't always be free to talk to you but i want us to keep in contact in case we don't see each other during music stage." jihoon lightly smiles as he gets my phone from the table.

he suddenly takes my hand and i immediately get flustered and pull it away. "what are you doing?"

jihoon looked at my hand then looked up at me from his seat and lightly chuckled. "you are really interesting chaerin. don't worry too much."

he proceeded to take my hand, pull my thumb out to put my touch id on my phone and then he let go. his actions were so straight forward so i just.. didn't know what to think.

"i made you add my kakaotalk, so we can stay in touch!" he happily says as he puts my phone back on top of the table. he then closes his eyes, preparing for me to do his face makeup.

i was quite hesitant as his actions made me feel more nervous but i proceeded to do my job and did his face makeup.

"you know, if i wasn't an idol, i probably would've complimented you a lot more." jihoon boldly says. "who knows, i probably would have taken a stronger interest in you."

i ended up pausing in the middle of my doings on his face because of what he's saying.

"you're really straight forward, park jihoon." i said as i put the final touches and finished up his makeup quickly.

"haha, but don't worry. i just want us to be friends because my job is really important and i really do love my fans." jihoon smiles as he opens his eyes.

"will it be okay?"

"idols should be able to make friends that aren't in the industry because they're human too." jihoon point out.

"i just want you and i to befriend each other, and i want you not to worry too much around me." he gets up from his chair and stands in front of me.

"don't worry chaerin, we'll probably become the best of friends."
