Shownu found himself holding his breath posing so close to Youngji. He could smell her perfume and feel the warmth of her body. He placed his arm around her body and suppressed a smile.

Youngji stared at the second floor, seeing the April members watching from above.

*flashback*

"So that's how you plan to secure your future as a celebrity? By taking on random shows?" Hyunjoo smirked.

"I doubt you'll get far. You should just quit now rather than wasting our company's resources," Somin said condescendingly.

"What I do is none of your business," Youngji glared at them.

Gyuri walked by. "Stop it," she said to the April girls. "She'll leave soon enough," she eyed Youngji. "Let's see how long you can hold out."

Youngji felt a surge of anger thinking about their remarks about her career. I need to prove myself to everyone. With newfound determination, she boldly moved closer to Shownu, causing him to inhale sharply in surprise.

Damn it, Hyunwoo, you're supposed to be a professional! He mentally scolded himself as he tried to calm his racing heart.

"Okay, good job guys, I'll see you all tomorrow," their choreographer said.

Monsta X bowed and thanked him.

"Yay, we have free time!" I.M said.

"Hyung, let's go to the arcade!" Jooheon tugged on Shownu's arm.

The leader checked his phone and realised it was a Wednesday. "Mianhae, Jooheon-ah, maybe next time, I have somewhere to go"
