Leo's P.O.V

~Vibrate~

I picked up my phone to see a text message from Mina. Well that was quick.
M: You choose the day, you're probably a lot busier than I am.
T: I can't any time this week, we're working on the repackaged album and then we have variety shows to go on :(
M: Hmmmm, can't I meet up with you somewhere?
T: Why? Are you that eager to see me?
M: No! I just wanted to see the guys. They seem like they're fun to be around.
T: Why would you want to meet them? Is not like one of them is your fiance.
M: Do I sense jealousy? But you've only known me for two days.
T: Jealousy? Me? It's not like our wedding is even official yet.
M: Really?! I thought the talks were coming up?
T: Doesn't mean anything really. And if I wanted to, I could oppose and make a mess of things.
M: Why don't you?
T: hmmm.... you don't seem that bad.
M: Where are you at? I'm on the elevator on my way up to meet you guys.
T: Wait you're here?!
M: Yeah, Hyuk wanted to see me.
T: I'll meet you in the elevator then.

When the elevator doors opened, there she was. She was smiling up at me holding what looked like a packed lunch. I boarded the elevator and pressed the button to go up.

"Hyuk's in the recording studio right now." I explained my actions.

"Oh ok." She said looking at me.

The elevator ride was starting to get pretty awkward. Suddenly the elevator stopped.

"What's wrong?" Mina said looking panicked.

"I don't know let me see." I said as I pressed the button that connected me to the control rooms. "Hello? Is anyone there? Hello? Hello? There are two people stuck on the elevator. Can you hear me? Hello!?" I started yelling. "It's no use, I think we'll be here for a while." I said as I looked at a worried Mina.

"Why don't we just call someone with our phones?" Mina asked.

"Try it." I said after checking my phone to find the no service icon on.

"Crap, no service. Did you plan this? Doesn't it seem a little suspicious?" She said pointing an accusing finger at me.

"Why would I?" I responded.

"That's true." She said as she turned around when a beam of sunlight hit her back. (The elevator is see-through) "Wah! What a view." She said astounded at the 13th story view of Seoul. "What do you say we have our date right here, right now?" She said lifting the packed lunch she had brought.

"Why not?" I said retorically.

We sat down and began eating the delicious bibimpap. We finished and cleaned up. We both sat across from each other leaning the sides of the elevator. She talked about her childhood and how she met Min Ji. She explained the burden she felt after all the times Min Ji helped her financially. And then she asked for my story.

"Well... I didn't really have friends until I met the members of VIXX. My parents didn't let me go to school, so I got home schooled. And for my college degree my parents paid for the professors to come teach me individually. That's why I'm so surprised that I could get along with you so easily." I said trying to avoid blushing.

"That really means a lot." She said. A silence followed our conversation, but not an awkward one like before. It was more like we were trying to figure each other out. Trying to put the puzzle pieces in their place. I could tell she was tired. Her eyelids became heavy and all at once shut together. She

started falling to the side and I quickly moved so that I was sitting next to her and she was leaning on me. Her sleeping face was contagious and before I knew it, I too was asleep.
