N went home after the photo shoot with his feelings all confused. Just who is Eunyoung to him? Is she just a colleague? Close colleague? Or was Eunyoung more than that?

When he saw Eunyoung in that dress, his eyes were fixed on her. She is Eunyoung he knew, but she looked more grown-up, more of a lady.

N closed his eyes, wanting to have a good night sleep and forget about all these confusing thoughts, but all he sees, even with his eyes closed, was Joo Eunyoung.

He saw her in that pastel pink dress.

He saw her performing as Two X's Eunyoung.

He saw how she was happy to meet him for the first time during The Romantic & Idol.

He saw how she was happy to know that she selected N's music during the shuffle.

He saw how she knelt down when she wasn't selected.

He made her cry.

She even apologized for her actions, when she did nothing wrong.

Eunyoung liked N. And N didn't see that. All he saw was a noona who didn't even look at him.

N woke up from his nap in the waiting room. He didn't get any sleep the night before. His mind wasn't coorporating with him. His mind was busy sorting his thoughts, which made it impossible to fall asleep.

He checked the time with his phone. 15 minutes to rehearsal, and just then, his manager told N to gather the boys. He scanned the room. Hyuk, check. Leo, check. Ravi, check. Hongbin, check. Ken, not here. 

He stood up. "Where is Ken?"

"Oh, I saw him outside talking with someone just now," Ravi said while getting ready for rehearsal.

N shook his head. Lee Jaehwan. He walked out of the waiting room and turned around the corner. When he saw Ken and his friend, N halted his steps. Ken was talking with Eunyoung. Without him noticing his actions, N was hiding. Why in the world am I hiding?

Nonetheless, he peeked at Ken and Eunyoung. Both of them were talking quite cheerfully. Occasionally, Eunyoung laughs at Ken's words. Tsk. What's so funny about Ken?

N took a deep breath and walked towards the same-aged friends. "Jaehwan, rehearsal."

"Oh right!" Ken said. "Thanks for reminding hyung!" Ken waved goodbye to Eunyoung and quickly walked past N to head for the waiting room.

N greeted Eunyoung and quickly made his way back.

Vixx's Ken! N still remembers the interview Eunyoung did. 

Are you jealous, hyung? N remembers Ravi's words when Ken joked about liking Eunyoung.

I am sure you know how Eunyoung feels towards you. Jiyou's words rang in N's head.

He punched the wall at his frustrations, making the other members of Vixx jumped. 

"Are you okay hyung?" Ken asked.

I've fallen in love.

Eunyoung received a text from Ken about meeting him in a private cafe nearby the broadcasting studio. She replied back and said she would be there. She didn't have anything scheduled after this, so it would be okay. Plus, she likes talking to Ken. Same-aged friends are much easier to talk to... and it keeps her mind off N for a while.

When she arrived at the cafe, she didn't see Ken. Instead, she saw N.

N perked up and waved at Eunyoung. 

She walked towards N. "Why are you here oppa? Where's Ken?"

"Oh, about that," N said slowly. "He couldn't make it."

"What?" 

"He had something up, so, I am here instead," N said and smiled.

Eunyoung's heart melt at the sight of his smile. Then, she snrfapped herself back to reality. "Oh, then, maybe I should go..."

"No! No!" N exclaimed. "Stay here. Since you are here, let's have a meal together."

Eunyoung nodded. She took the seat opposite of N. 

Once they ordered their food, Eunyoung caught N's unusual behaviour. N was fidgeting a lot, which was very unlike the confident N she knows.

"Eunyoung-ah, you know I don't hate you right?" N started.

She nodded slowly. "Yeah?" 

"Do... you hate me then?" 

She shook her head immediately. "No, no. I don't."

He grinned at her answer. "Then, can we start again?"

Can we start again?

Just realized I share the same birthdate as N lol.
