"Aigoo, this is bad." Seungcheol groaned.

"What is it?" Manager hyung asked as he looked at Seungcheol.

"Nothing, hyung." Seungcheol looked away with pink cheeks.

"Is it Jeonghan?" Manager hyung chuckled.

Seungcheol sighed but didn't answer.

Back at the dorm, Jeonghan has been smiling by himself.

"Yah, hyung! Did you drink again?" 

"I didn't!"

"Then why are you smiling so creepily?"

"I won't tell you." Jeonghan stuck his tongue out.

"It's probably about Seungcheol hyung. Nowadays, your world revolves around him." Wonwoo chuckled.

"Yah, that isn't true!" Jeonghan pouted.

"It is!"

"I'm going to my room!" Jeonghan huffed as he left the living room.

Adore U ended but everyone went to the practice room again.

Everyone was excited and confused as to why.

Seungcheol and the CEO was in front.

"Umm, guys. We're going to have a new song."

"Eh?" Woozi was surprised.

Seungcheol just smiled at Woozi.

"Yes, Seungcheol's right. We've looked through Jihoon's finished works and we really liked this certain song. Would you mind, Jihoon?"

"Not all. I was just surprised. What is it?"

"Mansae!" Seungcheol smiled widely.

Jeonghan smiled too because he knows how much the leader liked the song.

"REALLY?" Everyone was obviously excited as well.

"I know, right?!" Seungcheol jumped up and down in happiness.

"Calm down, Seungcheol. Soonyoung, you can help with the choreo, right?"

"Of course, seongsaengnim! I already have so many ideas!" Hoshi nodded happily.

"Okay then. I will dismiss you today. The three leaders should stay here to ready some things."

The three leaders nodded.

Jeonghan stood up and cupped Seungcheol's cheeks.

"Jeonghan?"

"Do well, appa. I'll take care of the kids for you." Jeonghan smiled softly which made Seungcheol blush.

"A-Appa? Yah..." 

"Yah, you two! Stop acting like a married couple." Woozi groaned.

"Why? You guys were the one who told our Carats that we're the parents here. Don't complain now." Jeonghan glared at Woozi.

"Yeah sure."

"H-Huh?" Jeonghan looked at Seungcheol with wide eyes.

"I said take care of them for me well... umma." Seungcheol coughed as he felt his cheeks burning again so he quickly got out of Jeonghan's grasp and went to the office to talk to the CEO.

Jeonghan just stood there with hands in mid-air and cheeks blushing furiously.

The others too were shocked, even Joshua.

"Did S.Coups hyung just acknowledge Jeonghan's flirting?" Dokyeom raised an eyebrow.

Mingyu nodded, mouth agape.

"Let's all go now!" Joshua recovered and pushed the still shocked Jeonghan outside the room while the others followed except for Hoshi and Woozi.

"That's something." Hoshi chuckled.

"I'm actually cringing." Woozi grimaced with hands curling.

Seungcheol returned and was glad that they were gone now.

"Appa, what took you so long?" Hoshi wiggled his eyebrows.

Seungcheol just stuck his tongue out at Hoshi.

"Let's just start and then we'll go recording. What did seongsaengnim said about dates?"

"D-Date?" Seungcheol's eyes widen.

"Yeah, date."

"Umm, Jihoon..." Seungcheol looked down.

"I meant the day for the comeback." Woozi rolled his eyes.

"You should've seen your face, hyung! It looks like you were finding a way to reject Jihoon without hurting him!" Hoshi rolled on the floor while laughing.

"Oh, date! He said whatever as long as it's on October." Seungcheol scratched his nape.

"You're still flustered, huh?" Woozi chuckled.

"I just didn't want to embarrass Jeonghan." Seungcheol smiled tight-lipped.

"Whatever you say... appa." Woozi smirked as Seungcheol hit him playfully.
