After that infamous incident with Yonghwa, as much as they like Seohyun to be happy, the girls asked their relationship to be kept secret and be more careful in the eyes of the public.

“Seohyun has been looking great nowadays!” MC Yoo complimented her when they went to Come to Play as guests, one of their many album promotions.

Seohyun felt her cheeks reddened, she gave out a smile and looked down “Kamsahamnida” she said shyly

“Yeah, it makes me sad that we don’t have a teenager in our group. She has become a radiant lady” Taeyeon said

“Yeah she is glowing, sometimes that kind of glow is caused by love” MC Yoo smiled teasingly at Seohyun “Right SeoHyun-ssi?”

“Aigoo” she laughed nervously, she held Hyo’s hand that is beside her and pressed it lightly, looking for help

Hyoyeon clapped as soon as she got the message “She is!” All eyes and camera abruptly transferred from Seohyun to her “She’s always in love…. with goguma.” She finished her sentence

Seohyun sighed secretly and giggled, thankful of her savior. She saw her other unnies laugh too, and they started to talk about goguma to their relief.

After the recording, they were on their way to their dorm.

“Unnie, komawo.” She said reaching for Hyo’s hand

“It’s nothing, we perfectly knew you are not a good liar” she said as she put her hand on top of Seohyun’s hand

“So where is HE?” Tiffany grinned at her

“He’s somewhere, but unnie, where is a good place to go when you’re going on a date?” She asked both her unnies in a hushed tone afraid of their manager to hear

“Amusement park is the best for couples, riding a bicycle together or going to a movie and dinner date.” Tiffany enumerated excitedly

“But….” Hyo intercepted her excitement “Knowing your status as an idol, it is impossible to go on such a public place without anyone noticing you”

“Oh! You’re such a spoil sport!” Tiffany pouted “But yeah, Hyo is right Seohyunie..” she sighed and shook her head, disappointed

“How about going on that sort of date outside our country?” Seohyun said her eyes sparkling as the scenario danced in her head “I think it might work”

“Yeah, well for us to go on that kind of date, we really need to go to another country.” Hyo sighed at her optimism “But Seohyunie, it will take a proper planning and you should have a vacation for at least 5 days to go travel, and with our schedule nowadays, we can’t” she shook her head

Seohyun gave them a mysterious smile and asked their manager that is seated on the front seat of their van “We don’t have a schedule the whole day tomorrow, right Oppa?”

“Yes, Seohyunie, you have your long awaited rest day” He chuckled as he looked at her

Seohyun nodded cheerfully “Komawo oppa!”

“Yah! What are you going to do?!” Hyo asked her in an alarmed motherly tone

“I’ll be gone the whole day tomorrow but don’t worry unnie, I’ll be back by 8 or 9 in the evening” she said assuring “I think Japan would be great right? Since we have yet to debut there, no one might recognize me.” Seohyun said

“Seohyunie, it’s true that we have not yet debuted in Japan but you can’t underestimate our popularity, we have Japanese fans too.” Tiffany continued after pondering “Although I have to say Japan is a nice choice, since you can fly there for 2hours 14minutes to be exact. You’ll be back in no time” she smiled

“But you should have minute disguises, glasses and a cap or a beanie won’t hurt, just keep it low.” Hyo added

Seohyun pouted; her right knuckle below her chin as she tried to organize a plan in her head.

Tiffany nudged her “Don’t worry too much, we’ll help you. In fact, when we arrive at our house later, I’ll be the one to book your flight.” She volunteered

Seohyun looked at Tiffany her eyes rounded “Aniyo, you don’t have to Unnie!” she said shaking her head but to no avail her unnies insisted, so she just gave in.

“Yong!” Seohyun called his name the moment she entered her room, and in an instant she saw him standing in front of her, smiling at her with those soulful eyes

“Meet me at the airport at 2am later, okay?” she said as she sat on her bed

“Why?” Yonghwa asked with a confused look on his face

“We’re going to Japan” she gave him a bright smile

“But, we can be there without going inside the plane Hyun.” He answered while sitting next to her, his heart beating faster by the minute

“I know, but Tiffany unnie booked us a ticket, so we have to be there.” She answered, her head turned to face from him to the door when someone knocked on it, she stood up to open it “You have to be there, okay?” she looked at him tenderly as she held the doorknob. And as soon as Yonghwa nodded she said “Okay, see you later” and Yonghwa disappeared

“Are you helping me with my packing and my clothes to wear later?” she asked after she opened the door for her two unnies who nodded excitedly

Yonghwa stood on the roof of the tallest tower in Seoul as he was pondering on what to do with Seohyun. Yes, he is a Cupid and he should know such things, dating to be exact but he felt at lost. Dating a fellow Cupid is one thing but dating a mortal is different as it seems, aside from the broken rule, it’s hard for him to act as a mortal’s boyfriend.

Yes, they kissed but it was just a spur of a moment, as if a spell was casted through thin air the moment they looked at each other after she confessed. And boy was he thankful her unnies went home, if not, he might not know what he might do next.

And when Seohyun announced their trip to Japan later, he felt ambivalent. He is overjoyed just thinking of them spending time with each other, but nervous and awkward at the same time that his palms started to sweat and his heart raced just thinking of how to hold her hand.
