------------------------------------------------------------

After what has felit like an eternity in a meeting room for Arin, the meeting ended right on lunch break time. Jaehi, Hara and Arin stepped out from the meeting room leaving Ateez and their manager inside.

"You sure you can't join us for lunch with Ateez?" Jaehi asked Arin.

Arin nodded "Yes, I have other plan to settle during lunch break"

"That's unfortunate. I think Ateez would be comfortable with you there also. They seems familiar with you afterall in the meeting just now" Jaehi said.

Arin laughed awkwardly not knowing how to respond. The meeting was smooth and the Ateez boys were suprised to see Arin walking inside the room with Yunho. As much as they wanted to ask her things, they couldn't do so but only knows that Arin intern at Seoulight.

"Better that way. You should not be seen much with Ateez. You just gonna let people assume the worst about you and our department. I don't want to keep hearing people gossiping that you applying here just to work with Ateez" Hara despicably stated.

"Be nice will ya" Jaehi hissed.

Hara huffed "I don't get why you keep covering for her. She's just an intern. She wouldn't last here long anyways" 

"Yah Kim Hara!" Jaehi raised her voiced, but Hara just turned away "I'm going first to office, then I'll meet you later at the cafe"

Arin felt offended by the statement, her eyebrows twitched in anger but she couldn't do anything but watched Hara walked away *What did I do so wrong... None of this was planned, everything was a coincidence* 

Jaehi sighed heavily as she looked at Arin in concerned "Sorry about that. I''ll talk to her about this. In the meantime, please lead Ateez and Park Manager to our cafe to settle for their order. Then you can go out to settle your stuffs. I''ll be right down there in 10 minutes" she gave Arin her ID card and walked away too.

Arin sighed "I don't really have a say on this" 

She opened the door to the meeting room as all eyes shifted to her " Um.. I've been told to you to the cafe. Please follow me"

Wooyoung stood up as he gasped "I am not dreaming. It is you Arin noona. The girl who we met on Jeju!"

Arin tilted her head in confusion, not knowing to laugh or just stare blankly at Wooyoung statement "Sorry... what?" 

Hongjoong also stood up as he walked towards Arin "He couldn't believe it was you when we were in meeting earlier. He kept saying he was hallucinating the whole time"

"Told ya to stop playing too much games, and sleep early. Now you keep sprouting nonsense" Yeosang shook his head.

"Yea stop stealing my game time! You're not the only one wanting to relieve some stress" Mingi scoffed.

Wooyoung huffed "You giant -"

"NO Swearing !" Seonghwa scolded Wooyoung.

Arin stared at them and suddenly laughed making the boys stop arguing. Yunho couldn't help but to smile *Never thought I would be able to listen to her laugh again after Jeju*

Wooyoung pouted  as he crossed his arms "Hey noona, not funny to poke fun at other miserability" 

Arin waved her hands to deny it "No no. I just find it funny that we were having the same thoughts. I thought I was hallucinating too when I saw Yunho at elavator. Turns out everything is real"

"SEE, SHE THOUGHT THE SAME THING! I am saneee enough" Wooyoung pointed back to Yeosang who was making fun of him.

"I swear, he's like a kid sometime" Jongho shook his head.

Park Manager cleared his throat "Alright, that's enough for your reunion. We should head down to lunch as we have other schedule to chase next. Anyways, great seeing you again Miss Arin" Park Manager gave her a warm smile before heading out. 

Seonghwa extended his hand to Arin "Well, I'm guessing we gonna see you around. Look forward to working with you Arin-ssi" 

Arin stared at his hand few second before she reached out and shook his hand. The other boys also lined up and one by one to shake her hand. She felt like she was doing handshake event with all these boys lining up. The last in line was Yunho as he took her hand as he smiled warmly "Look forward to seeing you around"

"Me too" Arin replied with a smile too.

Arin then lead all of them to the cafe downstairs and take their orders. Hongjoong and Yunho offered to go with her on the counter to place order, saying that it will be too much to remember all 9 of them food orders.

Hongjoong placed the order for all 9 of them as Yunho asked Arin on what she's going to order.

"Oh I'm not joining you guys for lunch. Hara and Jaehi will join soon" 

Yunho turned to her "Oh why not?"

"I got personal things to settle outside during lunch break" Arin explained. Yunho couldn't help but feel dissapointed as Hongjoong saw through his expressions.

"Yunho, can you help to get card to pay this food from Manager?" Hongjoong asked to distract Yunho, but Arin stepped in with the card and handed to the waiter.

"Please pay with this. It's the staff ID of this company" Arin said. She turned to the two boys "No worries, my team lead told me it'll be on the house" 

The waiter gave to Yunho the buzzer to notify them when the order is ready to pick up. Then they walked back to the table, as Arin noticed Jaehi and Hara is on the way.

Arin turned to the boys "Then I will excuse myself first. Please enjoy the food"

"Eh you're not joining us?" San asked.

"Ehhh why not? Where are you going?" Wooyoung too asked.

Hongjoong stepped in to reply "She got something to do. Leave the girl. She doesn't work for us 24/7, so she doesn't have to also eat with us on top of having meeting with us. Stop prying into her personal life" 

Wooyoung shut his mouth at his leader statement as the other boys glanced at each other, feeling something off with their leader.

Yunho couldn't help but frowned at his leader's statement.

For some reason Arin could feel like Hongjoong is feeling distant, but before she could think more about it, her phone ring as the screen show the caller to be Jaejin "I gotta go. Please enjoy the food. Thank you for today. It was great meeting all of you!" Arin bowed and left quickly the cafe.

Hongjoong sat down next to Seonghwa as he let out a sighed. Seonghwa peeked at the leader as he whispered "I got a feeling that y
