She responded with a tiring voice saying,"i'm very tired.. goodnight." She knocked out right then. 

  BabyN walked into F4's dorm, looking very sleepy still. It was only 4am. She didn't wake her members up at all. She just went to the couch and slept there.

   BTS was working with their new dance for their song 'Dope'. Suddenly one day actress Kang So Young came to visit Jhope, she's also good friend with him. Which he doesn't know that she likes him a lot. Jhope walked with her to get some coffee by a nearby shop. As they were about to head out, They both came by F4, which they just came back from their schedule. So Young held onto Jhope's arm saying,"Hobi-ah, let's hurry and go." Jhope saw BabyN looking at them. As F4 greeted So Young and Jhope, BabyN pretends to cough a lot and walk away from them, without a greeting. F4 then rushed after BabyN afterward.

He balance her up saying,"Are you okay?" She nodded her head saying,"yea... i'm okay." Suddenly he got a phone call. He said to her,"wait for me." He then went to answer his call. DaeDae went to BabyN and said,"We'll go first..." BabyN nodded her head. Lena and Krista followed behind DaeDae and gave her a 'hwaiting' sign as they left. BabyN then took a deep breath. 

   Suddenly Jimin's tears drip down his face and he dropped his phone. He seems to heard about something bad. BabyN went to him right then and look at him. She picked up his phone asking him,"Oppa.. what's wrong? Why are you crying?" Jimin rushed up to the rooftop right then, BabyN started worrying and went after him. 

   Jimin went up to the roof and fell on his knee crying. He goes,"grandma! Why? Why did you leave without saying anything to me?" He was really emotional and upset. BabyN slowly went on her knee and patted his shoulder saying,"your grandma went to a better place now.. don't cry.." His tears continues to drip down his face. She said to him,"Don't cry... your grandma will be sad to see you like this." Jimin suddenly hugged her tightly saying,"I've never done anything to her. I'm such a horrible grandson." She patted his back saying,"but still, she would still be proud that her own grandson is an idol with fame. Do you think so?" BabyN didn't know what to do next, but let him cry in her arms. 

  So Young and Jhope sat at a table drinking their coffee. So Young asked him, "Hobi-ah, it's been awhile since i've seen you. How's going.?" He responded, "Well you know i've always focusing on my music career, nothing much different than that." She asked,"But who's that girl? The girl who did a 'Beach Couple' photo shoot with you? You two were showing some close chemistry." He answered,"She's one of the member from our new girl group F4. We're close friends.." So Young goes,"Ah... really? She's lucky. I bet she always wanted to kiss guys like that. I wonder how many guys she'll kiss this year..." Jhope stood up saying,"She's not like that. Please don't misunderstand. If this is all you wanna talk about then i'll go now. I have practice." He then left her. So Young stood up and called his name but he didn't care. So Young said to herself,"Tsk. Well that girl and i, won't be getting along for sure."

He smiles nodding his head and goes,"Okay.. thanks for being by me and comfort me.." She smiles reaponding,"no problem.. After all we're friends anyways." He goes,"but... i'll still be waiting for the day you answer my confession.." BabyN didn't know what to say after that. He held onto her hands saying,"don't rush yourself, i can wait." 

  Jhope came down the hall they're at and saw Jimin holding onto BabyN's hand. BabyN and Jimin heard footsteps and look at Jhope. BabyN saw Jhope and was surprised.
