Surprisingly, things went quite well for the past month after the coffee spilling incident. The boys are even more protective of their female manager, always keeping an eye on her. Everywhere she goes, there would at least be a member following her around. Hanbin and Junhoe has been quiet, not bothering to disturb Ahreum at the moment.

"Hey, I am the one who is supposed to take care of you guys," Ahreum says during their dinner one day. The boys, except for Hanbin and Junhoe, chuckles at Ahreum's cute pouting face.

Today, the boys only have one schedule; which is to practice for half of the day. Junmi had to go for a brief meeting so Ahreum is the only one who has to keep an eye on the boys at the moment. She is amazed by how organized the boys are during their dance. Ahreum also look at Hanbin in admiration for being able to spot the tiniest mistake made by the members and leading them quite impressively.

After a few hours of torturing, B.I finally gives the members time to rest. Each and every one of them collapse and became one with the floor. Ahreum approaches the boys and asks them if they need anything at the moment. Most of them requested for sports and energy drink so she sets out to the convenience store located near the company.

Ahreum you stupid fool, how are you going to carry these twelve bottles at once!

I wobbled my way to the payment counter while trying hard not to let the bottles in my hand slip away from my grip. Being a blank headed girl, I forgot that there are something called "baskets" and now, I really regret my decision of carrying a number of bottles to the counter by myself.

There is only a few more steps to the cash register when I feel one of the bottles slip away from my arm. I squeak and shut my eyes, waiting for the loud sound of the bottle coming into contact with the floor. However, it never did and when I open my eyes, I see a familiar face.

"Hey pretty, miss you so much," Hyun Woo said and takes some of the bottles in my arm.

"Oh! Hyun Woo!" I burst into a wide smile when I recognise my saviour. He helps me carry the bottles to the cash register and we pay for our things together. He volunteers to accompany me to the practice room and as we have not talked to each other for some time, I allowed him to follow me.

"So... I heard about the pillow and coffee incident," He suddenly said and look at me.

I smile sheepishly at him. Boy, news does go around fast, don't they?

"Don't worry. Junmi hyung only told me," he added. I sigh in relief and smile at him. Hyun Woo proceeds to tell me about Daeun and Nabi, about their work and life.

"So how? Are you still single? Because if you are, I'm ready to mingle," he said to me and wiggles his eyebrows.

"Lee Hyun Woo, you never changed at all," I laugh at him while he pouts. We run into some of the members outside of the practice room who went for a toilet break.

"Hi Ahreum! And... you are?" Bobby narrows his eyes at Hyun Woo.

"He's-"

"Hi there, I'm Hyun Woo and I am her boyfriend," Hyun Woo interrupts me. This guy is really one stubborn cassonava. Being used to his flirty and nonsensical attitude, I just ignore him and enter the practice room with them following me close from behind.

Bobby suddenly approach and whispers to me.

"Is he really your boyfriend?" I shrug my shoulders at him, busy with arranging the bottles and picking up the dirty towels on the floor. The members left in the practice riom are Yunhyeong, Junhoe, Bobby, Jinhwan and Jin Hyeong.

"Ah, he is a fan of your group!" I said to Bobby and look at Hyun Woo who is looking at me too. He stands up and approach Bobby.

"Can I have a picture with you guys?" He says and Bobby nods after pretending to think for a long time. The remaining members joins in but Junhoe leaves the room. I help Hyun Woo take the picture and he is all smiles when he leaves the room.

Suddenly, my phone vibrates and its Hyun Woo who is calling me.

"Hi pretty. Call me when you are done with the day, I'll send you home,"

The door opens and the rest of the members enters the room. I turn my body away and continue to talk to Hyun Woo.

"Are you sure you want to give me a lift?"

"Anything for you baby, call me when you're done," he ends the conversation. I feel happy that I met Hyun Woo as he's like my little happy pill that cheers me up whenever I'm down. And oh, he mentioned that this summer, he and Nabi are getting engaged. Oh, I ship them to the max!

I turn around and almost died from heart attack when I see B.I and Junmi oppa standing quite close to me.

"Who's that," B.I suddenly say.

"... A friend?" I answer him. He look at me with those cold eyes before walking away. Junmi oppa tells me that he would take over now so I can knock off early. I told him I would wait for them to finish off.

"You walking home?" B.I suddenly asks Ahreum. She is still not used to talking to B.I so she just shakes her head.

"I got a ride from my friend," She replies him. Junmi went to take the car so the rest of them are waiting at the entrance of the company. Ahreum had inform Hyun Woo that she has knock off and he said that he would be on his way.

"With your boyfriend just now?" Jin Hyeong asks the girl.

"Yepp, Hyun Woo's giving me a ride, but he is not my boyfriend," Ahreum replies and as if on cue, a black car stops in front of her. Ahreum peeks and sees that familiar flirty smile. She says goodbye to iKon and gets in the car.

Bobby approaches B.I and Junhoe, slinging his hands on their neck.

"That Hyun Woo guys is handsome and if I was a girl, I would totally go out with him. I understand how Ahreum feels," he said and smirks, before entering their van. B.I and Junhoe stares at each other with the same thoughts in their head.

"I'm going to get her first."
