So we were told that the producer of SBS thought it would be a great idea to have us duet on a special stage, why? Ommo.. I just can’t believe this. Ever since that night from Bug’s Code, people were actually shipping us. Up until today and that has been 3 days. The manager who briefed us said that ‘D.Omi’ was still going strong and he wanted to use that momentum in his show, granted our labels permit it. Well, of course they would permit. This is like publicity.

I turned around to glance at D.O when the manager dropped the news that fans actually like the pairing. His reaction was, yeah, so and so. He didn’t seem like he was ecstatic about it nor excited. whatever emotions were in him were just channelled through a mere raise of a brow. Like seriously Do Kyungsoo, fans shipping us don’t excite you? Uh - - okay..

Well, on another note, seeing Kyungsoo’s unfathomed reaction, I was trying my best to contain the feels being washed into my face like a level 2 hurricane. I don’t see the need to physically express my estatic feelings at that time, just because D.O wasn’t. But, nobody can freaking stop me on the inside though. I am my own boss and on the inside, we are par-tay-ing baby! Oh yeah, it was certainly something to celebrate about. Fans don’t usually approve of opposite pairing, because that would hurt them, and for them to accept and come up with names like D.Omi was, well, cute! Thank you, yeorobun! Keep rooting for me, although I kind of feel like it’s just me, just a one sided thing here.

Sure, he did made those sweet gestures I don’t think I’ll ever forget, and how he sometimes look at me like there is something he wants to say, but..

“Okay you two. Please work hard and I do appologise for making this a last minute thing,” the manager finished his briefing and ushered us to the practice room, which is also a recording room.

“Are you ready for this?” D.O turned to look at me when we were on our way to the room. He caught me by surprise and all I had to say was ‘ohh. Ne.’ The moment we stepped into the room, was also when we bumped into the producer who was supposed to go through our practice session.

“Ahh. Kyungsoo ya,” he called onto D.O. they seemed familiar with each other, perhaps because they’re from the same company. He pulled D.O out from the room, so I walked in first and sat on the sofa while waiting for them. This recording room was just a small room with a three-sitter sofa, a small table, and other essentials for a typical recording room. The manager did brief us before that we will listen to the song and try to record it to see how it would go like on the real day, which is tomorrow.

They were taking quite a while, so I took out my phone and there was one thing I wanted to search for.

D.Omi

So I googled it and all this edited images of me and D.O were flashed on the search result page. I was, like, what? Wow..

“You like the pairing, don’t you?” Kyungsoo’s voice suddenly came out of nowhere as I could feel the sofa sink on one side. When did he come in?

“Kamchammulago..” I said, slowly closing the browser and kept my phone back into my pockets.

He took a look at me for a good few seconds before he started to talk, “well. We have some bad news,” he started and all the bad news that I could possibly imagine started to flood my brain. Seriously, I need to stop imagining things so much. “The producer, the guy just now, has an emergency at home, and SM couldn’t find a replacement for him at this hour, so, we’re going to have to practice alone.”

Pheww.. I let out a deep breath. I thought it was something disastrous.

“Or we can go out and watch a movie again?” he winked and all I wanted to do was flip the table because it was so hard to contain the feels. Those rare moments where he acts cute, it was so hard to pretend like I wasn't affected.

“Work comes first..” I replied, contradicting my inner thoughts.

“Work come first,” he imitated me with a girly tone, and I seriously would like to slap his face. Yah!

Well, we did switch our working mode on, and oh my, I never thought of this before, but our collaboration was great! It’s so wonderful that our voices sounded great together, and I cannot be more thankful, otherwise, it would be hard for us. We even practiced in the dance room in front of the big mirror to see how we were on stage. Nope, we weren’t holding hands because the manager did say that skin-ship isn’t allowed, because that would ruin our image. So, yeah.

I looked at him, as he sat on the sofa with his head leaning back. Poor baby.. he seemed really tired, and I really just want to leave, so that he could rest. Sweet of me, huh?

“Ok, I guess we’re done for tonight,” I said as I picked my bag up and begin to put my jacket on.

He peered to me using his one eye and said, “let me send you home,” and I couldn’t help but thought how romantic that sounds, the way he was saying it, but no.

“Aniyo. I can call someone..”

So there I was by the sidewalk in front of SM, calling someone. Anyone!! Come and pick me up, people. It was 2.30am and all I wanted to do was cry. Pabo girl.. you should have just let D.O send you home. Well, I wasn’t aware of the time just now and now that I’m on the sidewalk, it would be a tiny bit embarrassing to ask for his help. Plus, I was a tad bit shy. I'm so afraid he would discover that I have feelings for him.

I was busy calling here and there in case somebody could pick me up at that hour when a text message came in.

'Let me send you home, ohh?'

It was from him. And I couldn't help but to let the butterflies in my tummy flutter in frenzy. Just as I was busy rereading the text, in case I read it wrongly and that would be mega embarassing, a car drove up to me and when the window was down, I could see him, telling me to come into his car.

"you're - - urm - - this - - "

"Where are you staying?" he cut into my awkward stammering words and drove off before I even answered. My eyes grew wider as he drove really fast, passing the junction he was supposed to take to go to where my dorm was. "I'm hungry. Mokja?" he said, as he continued to whine how hungry he was.

Ergh.. Do Kyungsoo.. Why are you so relaxed when I'm so flustered and nervous here sitting right beside you. I was tugging onto my bag, and maybe he noticed that. Because he suddenly pulled the car over and stopped. Again, my eyes were bigger than usual, trying to comprehend what he was doing. "W-wae?" was all that could come out of my mouth.

"Do you have 300000won. Now?" he inched closer to me, and I gripped onto my bag even tighter. His expression was so ing relaxed I swear I felt threatened however, like in a psychotic kind of way. What side is this? The gangstar side to you?

"N - - now?" my hands were already placed right under his collar bones. It was a reflex reaction! I wanted to push him away. "Why do you want 300000won now?" I said as I placed pressure onto his chest. I really wanted to push him away!

"Do you have it now?" he insisted.

"No!" I meekly shouted, and he finally smirked, but didn't move backward.
