Day 33:

"Good morning" Yongguk smiled when I entered the practice room.

"Morning." I muttered. He seems a little weird today, but maybe it's just my imagination.

"Oh, your'e here." Gun entered the room smiling. "We need to change your choreography a little because of Yongguk."

"So what do we do?" I asked.

"Well, we change the sitting part to standing to make it easier on Yongguk. That will require a few other changes as well."

"Move your , ahjushi." I said to Yongguk, pointing at the center of the room, so we can start practice.

"I think you got it wrong, I should be ordering you around, not the opposite." Yongguk smiled. That idiot.. He is probably goint to take advantage of this situation as much as he can, but I'm not giving in. Not that easily..

"Funny. We need to practice." I changed the subject quickly.

"I'm not joking." Yongguk stated.

"Kids, let's practice first since you still have schedules today. Argue later." Gun said, and we obeyed.

The practice went as usual and then we had "Music Bank". The makeup artist had to work hard to cover all of Yongguk's bruises, but she did it well.

We did the performance fine, but it started to become hell afterwards. He is having too much fun ordering me around.

"Hyeri, bring me water, I'm thirsty." Yongguk ordered when we were in his dressing room. It was his third request in the last ten minutes.

"Say please first."

"Do I need to remind you that I can't move because of you? Bring me water."

"You can move, you just move slower than usual. Besides, you can't prove it's only because of me." I corrected him.

"You have three minutes, go. And make sure it's cold, or else you'll have to do it again." Yongguk ignored my comment and repeated his request.

"Fine, you idiot. It's not over." I muttered and went out to get his precious water. I did have an intention to help him out, but he is just overusing his power, and I don't like it. I'm trying to be patient since it's partially my fault, but I don't know how long I'll be able to do it without exploding.

"It's not cold enough." Yongguk said after I brought him his water.

"Drink it anyway, it's still water."

"I need cold water."

"You won't die if you drink it like that, stop being spoiled."

"Open it for me.." He handed me over the bottle. I opened it annoyed and gave it back to him a little too strongly. Some of the water spilled, but I ignored it. He needs a cold shower anyway..

"Would you like me to dress as a maid tomorrow? since your treating me like one.." I asked sarcastically after another round of errands. I need to lose weight, but not like this.. I walked way too much today, not to mention my regular exercise and activities.

"That could be great." Yongguk smiled, playing along. Truth is he would love to see her like that.

"You know what else could be great? You getting beat up again." I smiled innocently.

"Gangster." he teased. "Learn to solve your problems without using violence."

"But you are a lost case, regular methods won't work on you." I pouted.

"Funny.. You should have changed your profession to gag woman.."

"After you change yours." I smiled.

"Since you offered it, I want a picture of you in a maid costume." Yongguk said, probably just to annoy me.

"In your dreams."

"How did you know that's what I'm dreaming about?" he pretended to be shocked.

"You are seriously.." I sighed, stopping in the middle of the sentence.

"Seriously what?" he asked.

"Annoying. And ed up."

"Beause your'e perfect?"

"I'm far from it, but at least I'm admitting it."

"You are perfect to me." Yongguk said in a serious tone, getting my attention.

"Stop lying, and please stop playing with me. I can't do this anymore."

"I'm not doing anything." he shrugged. "And I wasn't lying when I said you are perfect."

"Then you need to get checked since your vision is obviously damaged."

"Oppa, he is being too much." I whined to Jinu on the ride back home.

"What did he do?" Jinu asked.

"He is asking me for ual stuff." I complained. Maybe that wasn't the whole truth, but I'm not backing down. It was hell today, and I'm not going through that again. Jinu's face paled, while Yongguk's face became red from anger.

"I wasn't asking for anything ual, I just mentioned a maid costume since she brought it up." Yongguk explained.

"And that costume isn't y?" I exclaimed.

"Only in your dirty mind. There are normal maid costumes as well. Besides, only crazy person will think of you in a y way.. You have the appeal of a five years old, so you basically have none." He retorted. Jinu smiled, amused, and my face heated from anger. I can deal with the fact that he called me dirty-minded, but he touched a sensitive issue with his last sentence, and it hurts.

"Then it's better if you don't think of me in that aspect since you'll never have me in that way."

"Don't worry." Yongguk said, and it annoyed me even more. Is he admitting I can't be y and that he is not thinking about me in that way at all? I guess he lied when he said he liked me.. A new plan formed in my mind. I can still fight him, but maybe I should change my method.. Instead of arguing with him about stuff I can just drive him crazy by making him think about me in that way and prove him wrong. I guess it's time to make y Hyeri come out of her shell.. I sighed. It's probably going to be harder than I thought..

"Hyeri, be good and stop falsely accusing Yongguk." Jinu scolded me, cutting me off from my thoughts.

"Fine." I said annoyed.

"Yongguk, is she giving you trouble?" Jinu asked. Why is everyone against me? It's not fair!

"A little, but I can handle it." Yongguk smiled.

~

"Hyeri, stay in the studio with me while I work." Yongguk asked when we arrived to the company.

"I need to practice." I argued.

"Ouch, my rib hurt.." Yongguk made a show of being hurt, and I rolled my eyes at the obvious act. It's not going to work on me.

"Then you shouldn't be working if your'e hurt." I smiled.

"I have an album to produce, I can't stop working."

"Your comeback is after I debut, you have plenty of time to work on it." I reasoned.

"I still need to work. Stay here."

"Do you want me to get in trouble? I'm already skipping enough practices thanks to you.."

"Then come back after you finish."

"Fine.." I sighed and left him for practice. At least some peace and quiet from him..

After practice ended I practiced by myself to delay the meeting more. I need to calm down before going to him since I don't want to explode. Eventually I came back to the recording studio. Yongguk was working diligently on the computer. I sat on the couch and waited for his instructions, thinking he actualy wanted something from me, but he just kept working. After a while I had enough of not doing anything.

"What the hell? I'm just staring at the walls.." I complained.

"You complain when I ask stuff from you and now you even complain when your'e doing nothing? You are really hard to satisfy." Yongguk sighed.

"Because it's a waste of my time!"

"Then you can sleep if you want to, I'll wake you up if I need something from you." He said without looking at me.

"Annoying." I muttered, but still laid on the couch. At some point I probably fell asleep.

Yongguk was happy that Hyeri was there. The truth is that he didn't have errands for her to run, he just needed inspiration. She just had to sit there, and new ideas for songs came to his mind. Not to mention, this way he saw she was sleeping and could be there for her if she still have nightmares.. It's a win-win situation for both of them, she just don't know that yet.

Day 34:

Yongguk was turturing me today as well, but I it up. I think it took him by surprise since he probably expected me to talk back and argue with him, but he didn't show it much.

Today was the day I'm starting my plan - "Operation Shady Lady". I asked for help from the stylist, saying I lost in a bet and it was my punishment, and I got a y maid costume. I quickly took a picture of me wearing it. It was really embarrassing, but I need to do this. It's my pride that got hurt, I can't let it go that easily.

At night I sat in my bed and sent him the picture, captioned "Your maid".

~

Yongguk was laying on his bed when he got a text massage from Hyeri. He opened it, only to see a photo of Hyeri dressed in a maid costume. He smiled. He didn't think she would actually do it and that she would look so good wearing it.

"Why are you drooling so much?" Himchan asked when he noticed Yongguk's expression.

"Nothing." Yongguk said and tried to hide his phone before Himchan grabs it, but he was too slow. Himchan was now examining the picture, his eyes widened in surprise.

"You are one lucky guy. She looks better than I thought." Himchan smirked and Yongguk glared at him, unhappy with his comment. He knew him well enough to know what he was probably thinking right now, and he didn't like it.

"Don't talk about her like that." Yongguk said dryly and took his phone back from Himchan.

"Why do you have this picture anyway? Your'e not in that kind of relationship yet.." Himchan pondered.

"It's a joke between the two of us." Yongguk mumbled. Himchan gave him a confused look, but left the subject since he didn't think that Yongguk will elaborate more on it.

Yongguk typed a message back - "What are you playing?"

"Nothing. You wanted to see me dressed in a maid costume, right? I fulfilled your wish." - The answer came shortly after.

He typed a reply - "Are you going to fulfill all my wishes?". Both of them can play this game..

"I'm not a genie. Choose the right wish, and you might be surprised."

"My wish is dating you."

It took a while until he got an answer. He thought she decided to ignore his text but his phone suddenly beeped, signaling a new text massage. "Sorry, not in the near future, or at all." Yongguk frowned when he read her reply. It hurt more than he thought. Well, he doesn't have anyone to blame in this situation except himself.

"I'm sorry."

"Save it. Your excuses and apologies are boring."

"Let's talk face to face." Yongguk suggested. It's really not right to talk about this thing through text messages..

"Nope. I'm only taking your orders since I want to stay here, don't interpret it wrong."

"Is this how you want it to be?"

"Does is matter?" Hyeri replied. Yes, it matters. To him, at least.

"If that's how you want it to be then let's play.. We'll see who comes to who first. I was being nice to you until now." Yongguk typed.

"Good luck, you'll need it."

"Same goes for you, princess."

Yongguk leaned back on his bed and took a deep breath. He will need a lot of patience dealing with her.. Looks like she is not going to give up, not that he expected her to. Her stubbornness is really something, but he can be stubborn as well. The only way to figure this thing out is either apologize and hope for forgiveness or fight her, using her own methods, and make her lose or give up. He chose the second option since he is tired of apologizing for breathing, and if she isn't apologizing for hitting him he is not going to apologize for hiding things from her and ordering her around.. It was for her own good.

Author's Note:

Sorry if it's not what you expected, but I have a reason for doing this :)

Just to clarify - At the beginning Yongguk was mainly teasing her, he didn't mean anything bad or to actually turture her (and you can see that he asked for simple things like bringing him water).. It's Hyeri that is misunderstanding things and taking him too seriously (as usual). I promise he won't really turture her in the future as well, it's not the purpose :)

I know I promised more B.A.P/the girls, it will happen soon. Maybe next chapter or the one afterwards.

P.S - The mv teaser looks better than I expected! The song was my favorite from the previews, so I'm happy and excited for the comeback :)

And I'm happy they won an award at the Gaon awards yesterday, they deserved it. Hopefully they'll get more awards this year..

Thanks a lot for reading, subscribing and commenting, it means a lot to me! <3
