"Dara, you ask me this everyday. And even if you keep doing this, I'm not going to change my mind."

Immediately after the response, plump lips formed a childish pout, "Ah, you ahjussi! Bommie and I are older than the normal female idols! Don't you have any pity for us?"

The man seated at the desk kept the solid glare on his features, "Don't test me, Sandara," the young woman couldn't help but flinch at the usage of her proper name, "I could increase the time period of your dating ban if you keep nagging me." The said girl couldn't help but let her head fall back as she allowed a childish groan to escape her lips. On the other hand, the redhead next to her managed a nervous smile. Seeing this, the CEO's expression seemed to brighten as he gestured towards the older of the two, "Ah, look! Bom-ssi respects my decisions! She's fine with not changing the ban."

Park Bom, known to most by her nickname (and stagename), Bommie, felt her eyes widen considerably as she felt the heavy weight from both her CEO's gaze and her best friend's. While her sunbae seemed to have a sort of expectant smile on his face, her best friend was glaring slightly, silently saying, "Don't you dare lie to him."

Bommie looked back and forth between the two before letting out out a quiet sigh and averting her eyes away from both of them, "I'm sorry, Yang-Sunbae, but I have to agree with Dara..."

Directly after that, the smug smile came back to rest on her best friend's features, while the CEO's restrained discontent returned. "That is all, then. Please leave my office."

The frown returned to Bommie's face as she flickered her gaze to the right to meet Dara's after they bowed in respect. The brunette's smile seemed to have widened considerably as she nonchalantly spun on her heel and began to walk out of the office. With only a single glance back at her boss, the slightly older girl jogged after her, easily falling in-step with her longtime friend.

Once they were out of earshot, Bommie turned her distressed features towards Dara's smug ones, "I'm starting to think that we should really stop nagging Yang-Sunbae like this... What if he really does incease the time of our dating ban!?"

Instead of getting a proper answer, her friend only waved away her concern, "Don't worry. He won't. I think we're too popular for him to upset further. If worse comes to worse, we could get our fans involved..." The redhead beside her couldn't stop the short giggle from escaping her lips. Typical Dara: doing whatever it took to make sure that she got her way. Suddenly, the brunette's large eyes seemed to brighten up even more, "Bommie, I think that this day just got a little better."

The heeled individual rose an eyebrow at this statement, "How so?"

Dara rested her hand lightly on the knob of the door, before smelling the air dramatically, making her friend only more curious. "I smell man perfume on the other side of this door."

Her friend couldn't help but laugh at this, "Don't you mean cologne?"

The brunette only shook her head, the large smile still on her lips, "Nope~. Cologne is something that the boys we know would wear. Man perfume usually means that we have new men to meet!" She wiggled her eyebrows suggestively at the end of her excited whisper, much to the amusement of her friend.

"I think you're coming off as a little desperate right now, Dara~"

At this, the slightly younger girl turned to her with an affronted expression, "Wait, WHA--"

She was interrupted by the sudden clearing of the CEO's thoat. As the two women turned around with wide eyes, it was suddenly made obvious that both had forgotten whose office they were still in. At this, Yang Hyun Suk's first reaction was to roll his eyes. But immediately after that, a sly smirk fixed itself onto his face, "Excited to see who's on the other side of
