Jihoon is as famous as he really is even among his co-trainees. He is pretty closed with Bae Jinyoung, Lee Daehwi and the hyungs. His softer features is a reversal of how cool and quite manly of his personality.

Throughout the concept evaluation Bae Jinyoung became dependent on him. Asking him for advices on how he should execute his part and others. "Hyung teach me how to act cute!" Baejin was shaking Jihoon's arm. Jihoon chuckled as he gave him a nod "araseo araseo...our song is a youthful one and I think we can appeal the noonas with these song by acting cute and lovely." Jihoon was scratching his chin. They were sitting in the cafeteria having their lunch in groups. "You see our Jinyoungie is handsome already. Just smile brightly and show more energy during your part." He patted Jinyoung's shoulder "time to show your cutesy side." He grinned. "Wahhh! Yeokshi! You are an expert hyung! Haha!" Jinyoung wrapped his arms around Jihoon's shoulder. "Thanks hyung! Btw, do you have a new gesture to appeal the nation's producernims?" Jihoon pouted a little " I already have something in my mind but I am still not certain. You'll see." Jihoon and Jinyoung turned their heads to Sewoon who practicing his wink. Wink. Double wink. Blink. Blinks. The whole Oh Little Girl team were laughing. "Aigoo Sewoon-ah! you cannot do it. Really!" Minki exclaimed as each of them tried to do the wink gesture in front of Sewoon.

Surely, everyone in the cafeteria was busy with spending time with their own teammates. Meanwhile at the Never team, the Nuest sunbaenims Jonghyun and Minhyun were telling stories in which they were doing variety shows during their promotion. Both of them were really kind and easy to hangout with. Minhyun was showcasing his Busan accent and everyone was laughing trying to copy him. But Guanlin on the other hand stealing glances once in a while on Jihoon's direction. How good it must be to be teamed up with his favorite hyung, he thought. It was unusual for him to have variety of expressions but he cannot restrained himself to frown upon seeing Jinyoung and Hyeongsob all touchy with Jihoon. He must be a little crazy for wanting to be the only one who can be touchy and all with Jihoon. Most especially, he wanted all those angelic smiles all for himself. "Is something wrong Guanlin-ah?" Jonghyun tapped his shoulder. He waved his hand gesturing it was nothing and smiled briefly. 

Jihoon was infront of the mirror inside his room. His roommates was not around so he had a chance in rehearsing his new charm. "Koo koo ka ka~" he did it with a cringey voice. "Aigoo..cringeeey" he was flushing. .."I like it hyung!" A tall figure exclaimed while resting his back against the door. "Really?" He pouted a little while scratching his head. "You look great in everything that you do hyung." Taking his stride towards Jihoon. Guanlin gently pulled Jihoon in his arms burying his nose on Jihoon's towel dried hair. The smell of green apples was lingering on his nose. He stayed like that not saying anything. "Guanlin-ah..what's wrong?" He ask with a worried tone. As a hyung he cannot help not to feel protective and sensitive towards him. " I missed you hyung.. I just missed you.." Jihoon was taken by surprised. He bit his lowerlip as the sound of his heart can be heard again. Scared that Guanlin might notice it he pulled away a little. "Eyyy~ uri Guanlin is missing me." He looked up to him and pinched Guanlin cheeks with both of his hands. Giggling he crosses his arms  "you were missing me because you
