Jonghyun studied his watch again, his eyebrows furrowed. He headed to their practice room door when it dramatically opened. “Yah! Do you think I have much time to spare?!” he yelled, expecting the other members to suffice

Jessica stood dumbfounded in front of the opened door, she was in a sour mood for changing practice rooms and now she got to be yelled like this? Her right eyebrow started to rise as she looked at the cocky guy inside the room “And do you think I wanted to be here?!” she retorted

Jonghyun looked at her in surprise, he studied her petite form and doll-like face and a corner of his mouth curved. “Another pretty face.” he muttered to himself

“Cute dimple” she thought as she saw that smirk, but as if adding oil to fire she heard him mutter something “What did you just say?!” she stormed inside the room, her hands on her hips ready for battle

He looked at her feigning innocence “Did I just say something?” he smirked sarcastically making Jessica breathe fire. She was about to fire bullet words on him when the rest of the gang entered the room

The gang stared at them in confusion. A palpable tension was all over the room that made them transfer glances from Jonghyun and Jessica.

Yonghwa walked inside the room and gave the girls a chair “Here, here. Take your seat gals! You’re our VIP visitors here” he said trying to ease the tension

Hyo walked near Jessica and dragged her to her seat while the last glowers over Jonghyun.

Jonghyun sighed “I was a little irritated because you’re like an hour late?” he said his voice biting

“We’re sorry, it’s just that…” Yonghwa started to explain but was interrupted

“Yeah, yeah. You were busy collecting hot chicks. I know” Jonghyun rolled his eyes and look at the girls who gathered near the keyboard.

Yonghwa gritted his teeth, trying his best to stay calm. They are at fault for being late, he knew that, and he is not going to start a fight over that with these girls around.

“Hyung, we’re sorry” Jungshin apologized profusely “Let’s not fight and just have fun. Okay? Let’s look at it at the bright side”

“What bright side? That you’re already here after an hour of being late?”

Jungshin winced “Well… That I think Jessica has the HOTS for you.” their eyes flew to Jessica, who is still giving Jonghyun death glare. They sniggered, the conflict magically left them. as expected Jungshin always have smart- comments at everything to ease the groups tension.

That was how they met, the next day Jonghyun reluctantly walked towards Jessica as soon as he spotted her sitting next to Tiffany and Hyoyeon at the lunch table “Y-yah” he started, not looking directly at her, his eyebrows furrowed.

Jessica looked at him with raised eyebrow “What?!”

“Tss. Yonghwa hyung told me that we are assigned to arrange one of the son
