Eunjung’s body tensed up as she stood on the stairs on the 3rd floor. 
 
Yoomi turned her body to her and smiled. 
 
Jaeri locked her arm around Eunjung’s and pull her forward while Yoomi walked up in front of them. 
 
A man facing the window saw the reflection of Yoomi and turned his body to her as he smiled and stood up. 
 
“Seung, baby.” Yoomi coed with a wide smile that seemed to glow at the sight of her boyfriend. 
 
Eunjung and Jaeri couldn’t help but cringe silently at Yoomi’s cute tone.  
 
“Yoomi-ah.” Seungho smiled and kiss the girl’s cheek what earned a teasing ‘aww’ from his friends. 
 
Seungho grabbed Yoomi’s hand to led her to the seat beside him, he sat and Yoomi remained standing before he noticed the presence of the other two girls. 
 
“Oh, sorry,” He said and bowed his head at the girls, who did the same in response. 
 
The other friends couldn’t take a glance of Eunjung as Yoomi and Jaeri block the view. 
 
“This is my friend Jaeri.” Yoomi said introducing Jaeri to Seungho. “You have met her before.” 
 
Seungho nodded his head. “Lee Jae Ri?” 
 
“That’s me.” Jaeri nodded smiling at him. 
 
“And this is…” Jaeri started pulling Eunjung from behind her back to introduce her. “She is -”
 
“I have seen you before. Do I know you?” Seungho started staring at Eunjung. 
 
Eunjung who was staring at the floor lift her gaze and smiled at him. “I don’t know if you know me.” 
 
“Wait, you are -”
 
“Eunjung.” She cut him off. 
 
When her name was mentioned, T.O.P who was sending a text from his phone lift his gaze and stared at her in disbelief. He squinted his eyes to make sure his sight didn’t play him a trick, and when he realized it was actually her a chuckle escaped his lips before he leaned his body forward on the table raising his eyebrows at the sudden situation. He was slightly shocked, but his expression remained neutral. 
 
“Eunjung from T-ARA?” Seungho asked in disbelief. 
 
Eunjung nodded her head smiling at his expression. 
 
“I didn’t know Yoomi had idol friends,” Seungho spoke as he stared at Yoomi. 
 
Yoomi smiled proudly. “And you didn’t believe me.” 
 
“But, don’t worry. I can assure I am the only one.” Eunjung commented what earned a ‘yah’ from Yoomi and a loud chuckle from Jaeri. 
 
Seungho grinned satisfied at her response. “You seem funny.” 
 
“She is,” Jaeri assured him with a smile. 
 
“I am not that funny actually.” Eunjung shyly denied. 
 
"That’s true," T.O.P whispered to himself. 
 
“Come on, why are you so shy now?” Jaeri elbowed Eunjung playfully while Seungho raised an eyebrow. 
 
“Are you nervous?” Seungho asked in a teasing tone. “Who is making you nervous here?” 
 
Seungho’s teasing question earned a soft chuckle from T.O.P. 
 
Eunjung shook her head. She hasn't once lift her stare to glance at Seungho’s friends, but she was sure T.O.P was there. 
 
Yoomi smiled at Eunjung, but before the teasing continued she cut in. “I am not nervous. Is just…that…” 
 
She was at a loss for words because she was indeed nervous, but there was no way she was going to admit it. To accept the idea was like digging a grave into all sort of teasing questions. She wasn’t sure if he knew about the rumor, and she didn’t want to know that either.
 
“Is just that I am shy with strangers.” Eunjung blurted out. Her excuse wasn’t lame at all, at least, it was believable. 
 
“Oh, really?” Seungho started again. “But not all of us are strangers to you, am I wrong?” He smirked. 
 
And the teasing start again. Eunjung asked to herself why was she so easily annoy, did she have ‘tease me’ written across her forehead? 
 
She just smiled at him. 
 
“Well, I will introduce you two to my friends.” Seungho asserted smiling at both Jaeri and Eunjung. 
 
He turn around on his chair and Yoomi sat in the chair beside him for Eunjung and Jaeri to introduce themselves. 
 
“Okay, so we are known as G-Dragon’s y group of friends, which is not exaggeration actually.” Seungho proudly declare. 
                                                                                             
Eunjung chuckled at his cockiness. And remained with her eyes fixed on the man seated across Seungho only to prevent her stare from landing in T.O.P. She hasn’t crossed gazes with him, and so far she wasn’t even sure if he was there. 
 
"We actually prefer to be called Nuthang." A boy with thick defined eyebrows spoke. 
 
“Well, Nuthang then.” Seungho smiled and turned his stare to the boy who spoke. “Across me is y number 1, Lee Soo Hyuk.” He started. “But be careful, don’t be intimidated by his serious expression. That’s actually his charm.” 
 
Eunjung smiled at Soohyuk and bowed her head at him with Jaeri. 
 
When she lift her head and stared at him he winked, and Eunjung couldn’t help but giggle a little, what provoke a smirk to curve the end of his lips. 
 
“Already flirting?” T.O.P whispered to himself before chuckling softly. 
 
“So, at his left, we have y number 2, Lee Hyun Jong. That is the bastard that works with me as a stylist in YG.” Seungho proceeded. 
 
The said man rolled his eyes playfully and bowed his head to Eunjung and Jaeri. 
 
They both smile at her, and Seungho proceeds with a smile before introducing the friend at Hyunjong’s left. 
 
As Seungho introduced his next friend, Eunjung grew more nervous. She wished the line of friends could continue on. She remained with her stare fixed on the man Seungho introduced, but she feared T.O.P was next, and she was indeed right.
 
“So moving from y number 3, Park Tae Young, we move to the last y.” 
 
When he said ‘last’, Eunjung knew who he was without lifting her stare from Taeyoung. 
 
T.O.P smile, he expected Eunjung to be shocked, but to his own surprise, she remained neutral with a press smile. 
 
“And I guess that for y number 4, we don’t need introductions. Am I wrong?” Seungho

Chapter 51: Wow... When I read your story I felt like I was riding in a roller coaster. I was happy for Eunjung, I got confuse over Seunghyun's behaviour towards Ej, and I got stress when Ej was sad in your story.
Thanks for making this beautiful story authornim. Even though I was hoping that you would give a more intimate ending for Ej and Seunghyun, but that's okay... I know you've worked hard for this story and I'm grateful you didn't hang out 'barefooted' in the first place.

Once again, thanks for your hardwork authornim. Hope you have a great year ahead :)
And I wish someday you'll write about Eunjung and Seunghyun again. A romantic and happy ending one. :D

Chapter 48: Oh gosh he was so pitiful in this chap...
But I like it that he became braver and took risk to meet Eunjung.
Just if Eunjung trusts him again.......
Thanks for this long chap.
