"This class is really fun. I'm glad I decided to do this." You sighed as the teacher called break. Today marked week two with being in acting school and signed under Mystic. So far nothing exciting has happened but you expected as much. 

VIXX was getting a bit more busy every day but they were still on 'break' so it was nothing too bad for them. 

You also had a manager. You forget what his name is already cause he's only actually talked to you once over a call. 

"____-ah, let's go get some lunch." One of your newest friends from class, Hong Ji Hoon, approached you. 

For the most part, you got along well with everyone in the class. There was this girl that came in occaisonally and caused trouble for no reason. But no one got along with her so it was normal. "Where? I didn't bring my wallet out." You mumbled. "Are you paying?" 

"Ew, I have to pay?" He joked. "We can just eat food here then. Haven't I told you that mooching off others is how you get things around here?" 

"I don't mooch food." You smiled, pulling out your phone to see a message from your manager. "Hold on." 

From: My Manager

____, can you come to Mystic? We haven't properly met and there is someone else you need to meet as well. 

To: My Manager

Now? I'm in class. I'll come after... What's your name again...? I forgot. 

You thought that asking his name again would be weird so you left it out and sent the text. "Ji Hoon!" You laughed as you spotted him trying to mooch snacks off of the teacher. "You're going to get scolded." 

"I'm so hungry though." He complained, leaving the teacher alone to join you in the middle of the class once more. 

"Why don't you bring snacks?" You asked just as your phone buzzed again. "Hold on, again." 

"Chatterbox." He laughed, leaving your side again.

From: Yeonie

Where are you at? Let's go do something. I just got done recording a podcast so I don't have anything else to do today since I practiced with the boys earlier. 

To: Yeonie

I'm busy... For like the next hour or so. 

From: Yeonie

You're broken, I need a new you.

To: Yeonie

Jerk... Anyways, let's do something in an hour. You can come and wait for me at the school. I was told to go to Mystic but I haven't gotten a response back so it must not be important. 

From: Yeonie

Mystic is nothing but trouble, I'm warning you. Wonsik agrees as well. He's still angry that you didn't listen to him. 

To: Yeonie

Boo-hoo. I haven't found any flaws yet other than my manager not even communicating with me. 

From: Yeonie

I'm tsking at you right now, just so you know. 

You ignored his last text and sat over against the wall beside Ji Hoon and your other newest friend, Hong Ji Jin, which happened to be Ji Hoon's twin brother. They didn't look that much alike, honestly. Maybe you just think that since you got to know them better. 

"I met Ha Yi-ah last night." Ji Hoon exclaimed. 

"You both went clubbing last night, it was only a matter of time until you two met up. Don't like her, she's spoken for." You warned.

"She's not my type." Ji Hoon shook his head. "It would be good for Ji Jin if she was single, she's totally his style." 

"Yah." Ji Jin growled, not looking up from his phone. "I doubt it. I don't like girls who go clubbing." 

Ji Hoon rolled his eyes and took your phone, entering in his and Ji Jin's number. "I keep forgetting to give you our numbers." 

"I was about to ask you the same thing." You laughed, taking your phone back when he was done. "Next time Hyun Bin visits, I'll invite Hyun Shik to Seoul as well and the four of us will hang out." 

"You only have guy friends?" Ji Jin sighed. "Isn't that risky?" 

"I have Ha Yi." You shrugged. "Every guy that is my friend, I trust. You wouldn't be my friend if I didn't trust you." 

"So have you dated any of your guy friends?" Ji Hoon spoke with modest curiousity.

I'm dating one right now. "No." You shook your head.

"Then who are you dating? You have like 10 numbers in your phone of different guys, plus the ring on your finger." Ji Hoon asked again. 

"You're curious today." You mumbled. "I am dating someone but it's a secret so hush." 

"A secret? It means she's lying." Ji Jin mocked. 

You hit his shoulder. "Yah, I'm not lying. I just can't tell you who it is."

"Is it one of the VIXX guys? You use to be their manager, right?" Ji Hoon interrupted. 

"No." You answered a little too quickly, recieving doubtful looks from both of them. 

"It's one of them." They both sighed at the same time. 

"You guys never listen..." You couldn't help but smile. "Let's go for a meal today, hm?"

"Both of us?" Ji Jin looked up from his phone with a cheesy smile. "As long as you pay." 

"Duh." You nodded. "Be prepared for my call later today, okay?" 

They both nodded.

I wonder if Hyun Shik can come up tonight. I know I said that I'd let them all meet when Hyun Bin comes back to Korea but who knows when that'll be?

--

"Yay!" Hakyeon hugged you the second you exited the school. 

"Yah, let me go." You laughed, pushing on him to get away. 

"No, I waited for a long time, I earned this." He mumbled. 

"So what are we going to do?" You asked when he let you go, pulling the hood around his head a little tighter as people watched you.

"I dunno. Do I look like someone who plans things?"

"Hakyeon-ah." You grumbled. "Fine, I'll think of something." You turned to see the twins leaving the school, waving at them. "Ji Jin! Ji Hoon! Wait for my call, okay? Remember!" 

They came over to you, looking at Hakyeon curiously as he turned his back to them. "Yah, who's this?" Ji Jin mumbled. "Is this your mysterious boyfriend?" 

"Look for a ring!" Ji Hoon laughed, trying to look at Hakyeon's face. 

"A ring would be on the hand, not the face, idiot." You sighed at Ji Hoon and pulled him away from Hakyeon. "You're scaring him."

"Yah." Hakyeon warned. 

"Alright, alright." Ji Hoon smiled, glancing at Ji Jin. "We'll wait for your call." 

"Good." You gave another smile. "Now go on!" You shooed them away and turned back to Hakyeon. 

"Look at you making all these male friends." Hakyeon teased, turning back to you. "You must've made plans with them for later, hm?" 

"Yeah. I'm going to try to get Hyun Shik to come up for a little bit and have dinner with them. The twins would like Hyun Shik." You linked your arm with Hakyeon and the two of you headed towards the parking lot around the side of the school. "Why? Did you want to make dinner plans with me too?" 

"What if I said yes?" He mumbled. 

"You could come with us but it wouldn't be very much fun for you since you'd be stuck hiding." You offered, knowing it was just better for him to decline. 

"You know my answer." Hakyeon responded easily, making you drive this time as the two of you got into the car. "Take me somewhere cool to make up for it." 

"You're such a baby." You agreed. "Do you want to go to an arcade or something? That sounds fun." 

Hakyeon shrugged. 

Arcade it is.

--

"You can't do that?" You tried not to laugh. 

"It looks easy but it's hard." He whined, stepping away from the machine. "Try it. You have to be like spot on or else you fail. It's stupid." 

It was some sort of coin timing game and was, for the most part, fairly easy and predictable. But, he couldn't do it. 

"Sure." You sighed, stealing a coin from him and stepping up to the machine. 

"You're all cocky now but it's harder than it looks." Hakyeon was quite confident in himself as he spoke. 

You dropped the coin after waiting a bit and nailed it first shot, tickets coming out of the machine soon after. You turned to him with a small smirk. "Yah, tell me how that was hard." 

Hakyeon was in total disbelief. "Not possible..." He moved you out of the way and wasted at least 10 coins on the stupid thing.

"Hakyeon-ah, just give up. You're wasting all of our coins." You grabbed the tickets from the machine and put them in your pocket. 

"This is impossible, yours was just luck." He grumbled, glued to the machine. 

At least we got to play other games before he wasted the majority on this one. But, I think I made the right choice going here. He didn't want to admit it at first since it was my idea, but he's having fun. And so am I. But if he'd stop wasting the coins, it'd be even better. 

People were laughing at Hakyeon's attempts to win since it was basically the easiest game in here. You pulled his hoodies over his face a little more. "Yah, people are laughing at you. Let's go play more stuff before all the coins are gone." 

Hakyeon let out a long sigh and stepped away from the machine with failure. "How is this easy?" 

"It's about timing." You explained. "Something you've never been good at." 

"Why does everything have to do with timing?" 

"Dunno." Your phone rang, startling you. 

You pulled it out and answered quickly. "Hello?" 

"____? Where are you? Didn't I ask you to come to Mystic?" You recognized the voice as your manager. 

"Well you didn't respond back to me so I didn't think it was that important." You sighed, feeling slightly annoyed. "Can I stop by later? I'm out at the moment." 

He sighed as well. "I guess it's because you've never been someone who's had a schedule before. Can you make an effort to stick to the schedule?"

"I have one?" 

"Do you not read emails?" 

This guy has a nasty temper. "Emails? Why send it over email?" 

"Just come to Mystic. There is things we need to discuss anyways." 

"Yeah sure-" He hung up before you could finish. You stared at the phone in shock. "This guy is mean!" 

Hakyeon looked pretty unhappy about the whole thing since he was listening as well with his ear to the phone. "Mystic is horrible, I'm telling you." Hakyeon frowned. "Sure, they take in people that have nothing and then give them something. But do you know what it takes to do that? A lot of work. And they want you to do acting gigs in a year at maximum without having prior experience? That's overwork." 

"Hakyeon, I'm sure they don't do that." You slipped your phone in your pocket and took out tickets you had gotten off the machine. "The director is really nice." 

"So?" 

You handed him the tickets and the few coins you had. "Mystic isn't too far from here, I'll call a taxi. You stay and have fun." 

He grabbed your hand as you turned to leave. "____. Don't take anything unreasonable from them." Hakyeon was oddly serious. 

"Hakyeon-ah, you're treating me like a kid." You laughed, kissing his cheek and giving him a small hug. "Don't worry about it. It's just the manager that's nasty with me, it seems." 

You gave a small wave and left the arcade quickly and waving down a taxi, getting in and driving off just as Hakyeon ran out as well. You felt really bad for leaving him like that but you wanted to know what was so important that the manager had to get all nasty with you over it. 

It seems I'm always the one to leave Hakyeon first... When we first met, it was always Hakyeon. But now it's me. I don't want him to feel frustrated like I did back then... I guess this is how he must've felt.

The whole ride there was mainly just you feeling sorry towards Hakyeon. Even when you had gotten out of the taxi and made your way to the office space they said you manager was, you were still thinking of ways to make it up to him. 

"____, you actually came." The manager sighed when you stepped into the office, seating yourself down in front of his desk. 

"So this is what you look like." You offered a smile at him. He looked like he could be an idol himself other than the fact that he was older than you, by at least 20 years. 

He smiled as well and handed you a packet of papers. "I made a schedule. So far all you've been doing is going to classes and hanging around. You won't get anywhere like that." You looked through the packet, shocked at how much stuff there was. "The director told me to take you to get your pictures shot. I'm assuming you've never modeled before so I warned the people on sight to help you out. The director wants to start promoting you so that you have opportunities when you get to that point. You're decent at acting but obviously, you're just not anywhere near what others your age can do with experience, at least." 

He's very blunt. At least I don't have to worry about him saying my acting is good when it's not. "But what's this other stuff?" 

"More classes." He mumbled. "Vocal classes, acting classes, communication practices, modeling classes, all of that sort." 

"Vocal and communication classes? Why would I need those?" 

"It's best to be good at a multiple of things. Sometimes actresses and actors have to sing. And you may need to give speeches in the future if you get big enough for that sort of thing. You need to know how to talk without stumbling over your words."

"But all these classes..." You couldn't help but wonder how you'd fit them all in. 

"It's easy, trust me. You have vocal and modeling classes in the morning, your acting classes that you take in the afternoon, a communications class after that, and some other acting classes I've signed you up for." He explained. "You may be new but my job is to get you to improve fast. The director says you have some ambition so let's see it put to work. Days like the one I just explained to you start tomorrow and they will be packed like that every other day. The days they are not packed will be the days you obviously take that class you're already in and have time to practice. These classes give some work to do outside of class as well so that's what those days can do for you. Don't worry, I'll be there as support and I'll make sure you're rested and fed." 

You felt extremely overwhelmed. "All this for a newbie?" 

"Of course." He smiled again. "One more thing to discuss about your work here." 

"Yes?" You tried not to look defeated when he talked about adding more to that packed list. 

"Your hand." He pointed at the hand with the ring. "You're spoken for?" 

"Yes." 

"Is it by someone who is signed under another company?" 

Can I be honest with this guy? I don't feel like I should. "No." 

"So just an average person?" The way he said average person irked your for some reason.

"Sure." 

"Good. It is a rule in this company that you cannot have intimate relations with anyone who isn't signed under this company other than the average person. So let's say you were dating a member of VIXX that you previously managed, that's a no. If you were caught doing it, it'd cause an uproar and I'd get fired, blah blah blah." He grumbled. "So, no intimate relations with anyone signed under a different company." Oops. "But since you have someone who's average, I don't have to worry about this anyways. Now, about your image. You've been involved with numerous scandals with VIXX's N and one with VIXX's Ravi. We need to put those past us and ignore any questions that may come up about them in the future, got it?" 

You felt uncomfortable and glad that you lied. "Yeah, I got it." I wonder if my previous director knew this before encouraging me to sign here. I doubt it, he didn't mind Hakyeon and I's relationship. 

"Make sure to sleep tonight, you have busy days ahead of you." He smirked, waving you away. "Answer your phone at all times and keep it on. First class tomorrow starts at 6am."

6am? What the hell? "Okay..."

You got up and left quickly with your packet of papers, shocked that your schedule was one, so packed already, and two, called for you to wake up at 6am for a CLASS. Hakyeon mentioned overwork before I left... I see it. I see it now. Already. 

Well, I signed up for this so I'm going to try. They want me to rise quickly but I have no talents... I guess this is why they needed that ambition part. 

--

"So what'd he say?" Hakyeon spoke quickly.

You quickly chewed the meat in your mouth before answering. "I'm going to be SUPER busy from now on. The liklihood of me seeing you anytime soon is slimmer than anything in this world." 

"Already? I'm telling you, it's overwork. Don't accept it if it's too much." He sighed. "Seriously." 

"It's not overwork." You laughed, sipping your water quickly. 

"Well, as long as it's something you can handle then fine. I still don't trust Mystic." 

"Why?" 

"A lot of issues come up with them from people I know. Most of the issues weren't the companies' fault but the punishments were still pretty harsh. Just listen to them and be good, hm?" 

"Yeah, issue with that. I'll tell you later." 

"Great, issues, I love them." Hakyeon laughed. "Have fun, I'll probably come over later today." 

"Good." You smiled. "I'm hanging up, bye." 

"Bye." 

You hung up first and put your phone down, looking at Ji Jin. "What? Why are you looking at me like that?" You mumbled at him. 

"Was that the guy we saw earlier? Why didn't he introduce himself? Is he a bad guy?" Ji Jin tsked at you already. "You shouldn't date bad guys. Mystic wouldn't approve." 

"Does your boyfriend disagree with Mystic?" Ji Hoon joined in. "I agree with him then. Mystic has some strict grounds. I signed with them for a year and vowed to never sign with them again. My manager was an and the rules were so tight. Plus the schedule was just horribly busy. But, if I had stuck with it, I probably would be big by now. They really are no joke about rising fame." 

"You signed with Mystic before?" You stared at him in disbelief. "For what?" 

"Acting." He looked at you like it was obvious. "Ji Jin signed as well. We both hated it." 

"Well I can agree with the rude manager part and the busy schedule." You grumbled. "So far they don't seem that strict." Other than the whole not dating Hakyeon thing. That's kind of an issue. 

"How long did you sign for?" Hyun Shik joined the conversation as well, feeling left out. 

"A year." You shrugged. "They say that they sign everyone for a year at first." 

"You won't last. I bet on it." Ji Jin snickered, downing his glass of soda. 

"Nah, she'll last. She just won't like it." Ji Hoon disagreed. "You won't be able to hang out with friends for a long time, good luck. I hardly saw Ji Jin, and we lived in the same house!" 

You ignored them and ate your food in silence as they engaged in conversations with Hyun Shik. I probably should've looked into Mystic a bit more... Oh well. Nothing wrong with hard work... I guess. 

--

"Here's lunch." The manager sighed, handing you a bag full of light snacks and kimchi. "You did good for your first three classes of the day."

You stared at him as the two of you made it over to the car the director gave you for transportation. "This is lunch? This could count as a midnight snack!" 

"What? You want to eat a lot and then have to work it off later?"

"So you're saying I'll get fat from eating properly?" 

"You have to watch your figure more anyways." He grumbled, getting into the driver's seat as you got in the back. "Eat quickly, your next class starts soon." 

"I've been up since 4am and working my off and you give me this claiming I'll get fat?" You grumbled to yourself. "I'm offended." 

You ate the small bit of kimchi first before moving on to the wrapped snacks, pulling out your phone to complain to Hakyeon. 

To: Yeonie

Yah, this guy is calling me fat. He said I have to 'watch my figure' and didn't even feed me enough food to fill up. Am I fat? I thought I was pretty okay. I'm offended... But at least the kimchi was good. I wonder where he got it. 

Hakyeon answered faster than you thought. 

From: Yeonie

You're not fat! I'll come over again today and bring lots of food. Okay? This guy is insane. 

To: Yeonie

I probably won't get back until late. I just finished my acting class so it's 1:30ish and I still have two more classes to take before I'm done. 

From: Yeonie

Two? Didn't you have two classes before the one you just finished? 5 classes in one day? 

To: Yeonie

It's crazy. I'm so hungry! I didn't eat much when I woke up at 4am cause I didn't want to be too full to do anything but now I regret it.

From: Yeonie

I'll bring food. Don't worry. Pack your own food from now on. 

To: Yeonie 

Good idea. Also, I'm not allowed to date you so I'm breaking up with you.

From: Yeonie

You're joking :P

To: Yeonie

True. But I'm really not allowed to date you. I lied and said that I wasn't and they were like 'you can't date people from other companies blah blah' so we just have to be super, super, SUPER careful.

From: Yeonie

Is that the issue you told me about over the phone yesterday?

To: Yeonie

Yeah. But I'm not going to break up with you. I worked too hard to date you. 

From: Yeonie

Pfft. You worked hard? I think I worked pretty hard too. 

To: Yeonie

Fine, we're both a pain in the . 

From: Yeonie

Swearing again... 

To: Yeonie

I'm leaving, BYE

From: Yeonie

Nooo! Loser. Bye. I love you....

You flushed bright red and put away your phone. We don't say those words a lot so it still makes me so nervous whenever he says it at the most random times... 

"Are you finished eating?" The manager asked as the car came to a stop. "We're here."

"ALREADY?" You panicked and ate the rest of the snack you were eating quickly. 

He chuckled a little. "Let's go. This class doesn't accept lazy people." 

"I don't think any class does." You grumbled around the food in your mouth as you got out of the car. "Let's do this!" 

"Swallow before you speak, please." He covered your mouth with disgust until you swallowed. "Try to look nice, hm?" 

"Says the person who called me fat." You stuck your tongue out at him and followed slowly behind him. "Rude." 

This guy is not going to get on my nerve. This guy is not going to get on my nerve... No matter how many times I say this, he's always going to get on my nerves, isn't he?

--

You got home at midnight that day. Hakyeon kept his promise and had left you food that you gladly ate. You were a little upset to find that he didn't decide to stay over but it was a good thing he didn't. You didn't want him to see how overwhelmed you were. The schedule really isn't that bad if you were honest. It was just a lot for your first day of actually doing things related to what you signed with Mystic for. 

The following day wasn't much of anything other than practicing, going to the one class you had, and then practicing more. And the following day after that was just another packed day like the first. But it was easier the second time around. You knew what to expect, you knew some of the people in the classes, and you were getting used to your manager's fast pace nature. 

Today was another "in between" day, that's what you've decided to call it anyways. The day in between the busiest days that was full of practicing. 

"____, shut up." Ha Yi barged into your room, startling you. 

"What?" You put down the script papers for you communications class you were taking. 

"You're saying the same things over and over and I can't take it anymore!" She sighed, messing up her a hair a little before fixing it. "Can you go somewhere else and do it?" 

"Ha Yi-ah, I have to." You frowned. "I can only get better with practice." 

"What even is it for? The sentences make no sense."

"Pronunciation."

"Whatever." Ha Yi shook her head. "Just no more here, okay? Go somewhere else. Go annoyed Hakyeon! You haven't seen him in a few days, just do it! He'd love it." 

"I'm sure he would." You sighed, putting the packet you were reading off of into your backpack and slinging it onto your back. "I'll go somewhere else. Get earphones and you won't hear me."

"I wonder if the neighbors can hear you..." She mumbled to herself as she left your room.

You pulled out your phone and went to call Hakyeon but decided against it and called Wonsik. Let's annoy my ugly duck today. He's probably bored... Or maybe he's still upset from when I ignored him the day I went to talk to the director about Mystic? Who knows. 

"Wonsik-ah?" You smiled. 

"____? What's up?" 

"Do you want to go somewhere with me? We could go to the park or something. It's past noon so I don't have a class to worry about." 

"You want ME to go?" He seemed shocked. 

"Yeah. I'll just be running through practices and stuff. You could help me with them." 

"Sure." He answered quickly, afraid you would take it back. "Are we walking?" 

"No, I can use the car I was given." You laughed, heading quickly out the door and snatching your keys before exiting the apartment. "I have so many keys now. A dorm key, my house key, and 3 keys to 3 different vehicles. How odd." 

"You're special." He mocked. "Are you going to get me now? It sounds like you're moving already." 

"Duh, I'm on my way." You hung up as you got into the elevator. Wonsik is someone I can be myself around completely. Sure, I'm very comfortable with Hakyeon as well but there are times where Hakyeon can fluster me. I want to be completely comfortable when I'm practicing. Wonsik is the perfect person for that. 

You exited the elevator and hurried out of the building, running into Wonsik and giving a startled yowl. 

"Hi." He waved, laughing. 

"How did you get here so quickly?" You stared at him in surprise. "Can you teleport?" 

"Yes." He joked, following you to the car lot just behind your apartment building. "Nah, I was walking around already when you called."

"I see. You're not covered very well." You pointed to the face mask he was wearing. "What about your hair and your eyes?" 

"No one seemed to recognize me or care so it's enough." Wonsik shrugged. 

You shrugged as well. "If it works." 

The two of you got into the car and you drove onto the road. "____, are you serious about this acting stuff?" Wonsik sighed after a little bit of silence. 

"What do you mean? I signed to try, didn't I?" 

He didn't answer for a little bit. "I have people I know in Mystic. They aren't as pure as they look, you know." 

"I was meaning to ask you about that." You mumbled. "What did you mean about their intentions a few weeks ago?" 

"The director knows exactly what sort of entertainment Mystic is." Wonsik watched you, carefully, as he spoke. "Don't you think that means something?"

"Wonsik-ah..." You laughed. "You're just confusing me more. Just use your words!" 

He looked away and shook his head. "Never mind. You'll figure it out eventually." 

You pouted a little but shrugged it off, starting a new topic. "So what have you and the boys been up to lately? I don't see you guys anymore." 

"We're slowly starting to pick up more things to add to our schedule again but it's still pretty relaxed." He responded easily. "It's a little boring and Hakyeon is never around. He's a good entertainer for us all but when he's gone all the time, it's boring." 

"Gone? Where does he go? I figured he'd be resting." 

"Who knows? He's always keeping himself busy." Wonsik didn't really answer your question but it didn't matter either way, it was good Hakyeon had something to keep him busy. 

"Oh well." You smiled, pulling into an empty car lot beside the grass lot. "Help me out on my stuff and then I'll go anywhere you want me to, deal?" 

"Deal." 

--

The two of you had practiced for a few hours and then Wonsik took you out to dinner. But the whole time, you felt like you were being watched. You were so paranoid about reporters that you kept on edge the entire time. 

Besides eating and being on edge at the food shop, Wonsik even helped you with a few of your communications scripts since he had only helped with the acting stuff in the park. 

"You speak really good, why do you need to practice?" Wonsik put the packet down. 

"Because I'm not good enough." When you had spoke, you caught eye of a tiny flash behind Wonsik's shoulder. I knew it. You heard the reporter curse herself and try to bolt out of her hiding spot but you managed to step in her way. "Yah, have you been following us this whole time?" 

She had a mask on and clutched her camera bag at her side, her eyes glistening with worry. Wonsik stood up and came forward as well, peering at the reporter with amusement. "This one is smart. She looks like the one that's always floating around Hakyeon. I remember the eyes." 

"Can't you delete those?" You sighed. "We're people too. It's not worthy enough to lie, hm?" 

The girl lashed out with her foot to get away but it just ended up with her mask falling off and leaving you completely shocked. "It is her!" Wonsik laughed. "She's always around Hakyeon!" 

"Tae Hee?" You snatched her camera before she could react. "Photographer? You're smart but it's not enough to cover up the lie." 

"You know her?" Wonsik raised his eyebrows in surprise. 

"I do." You sighed, shoving her away from you as you her camera. 

"Who gave you permission to go through my camera?" Tae Hee yowled as she lashed out at you, Wonsik holding her back though. 

"Miss, I think you should watch what you're doing." Wonsik warned passively. "You took pictures of us without our permission, isn't this just the same thing?" 

You ignored them and frowned at all the pictures of you and Wonsik that, from the angle they were taken at, could easly be misunderstood. But what upset you even more were all the pictures she had taken of Hakyeon in various places and dressed in various ways. Some were near your aparments, some were with you, and some were just him out on his own. And when you passed the lot of those, you came a crossed the ones that were already posted online in a scandal and another one that would completely ruin you and Hakyeon, which was the one where you and Hakyeon had slept on the couch together when she stayed the night. 

This girl... I really don't know how to react. I should really just break the camera right now. "Tae Hee... Did you really have to go this far?" You glanced at her for a moment. 

"It's my job, ____." She snarled at you. "A job is a job."

"You approached me for this, right?" 

"Right. Did you actually think I wanted to be friends?" 

"No. I just thought you were going to attack me eventually, not VIXX." 

"VIXX is being led by someone who isn't capable of being in that position. VIXX is going to fail anyways, I'm just helping it fail faster." 

You were just about to start deleting stuff on her camera when your manager came into the shop, grabbing your wrist roughly. "Yah, how did you know I was here?" You gasped with shock, dropping her camera in the process. 

Wonsik let go of Tae Hee and watched the manager, surprised with his actions towards you. "Because I posted something already." Tae Hee snickered, picking up her camera. "Just because you caught me this time doesn't mean I'll stop." She bolted from the shop and disappeared. 

"Let's go." Your manager sighed. "We're already going to have dating issues, aren't we?" 

"Dating issues? I'm not dating Wonsik!" You complained, shaking his grip off of your wrist. "He was helping me with some of the work I was given from my classes and we just simply went out to get dinner in the process."

The manager glared at you like you were stupid. "I don't care what your true relationship is, it's the media that cares. The scandal that was posted a little bit ago hasn't gotten much attention yet but it will. Especially is she has back up pictures." He grabbed your wrist, lighter this time. "He's from Jellyfish, the director would've ended this friendship anyways. I hope this is the only scandal you'll be caught in for a while. I haven't even started building up your image yet and you're ruining it still." 

You looked at Wonsik and gave a slight smile. "Talk to you later, Wonsik-ah. I have things to take care of." 

Wonsik nodded slowly, handing you the packet from the table and your backpack before the manager pulled you out of the food shop and into his car. "We're going to the company." He sighed, starting the car quickly as you put away your packet, neatly. 

"Why?" You grumbled. "I drove here, you know." 

"I'll drop you off here later then so you can get your car."

"So, I'm in trouble, hm?" You put the backpack on the floor. 

"We'll see with how much attention this scandal gets." 

"What if we take it down before it gets a lot of attention?" 

"What do you think the director is trying to do right now?" 

"Right... You guys are fast." 

"That's a must." 

I hope Wonsik gets home okay. I feel bad that he has to walk back to the dorm but then again, the food shop you had stopped at wasn't that far. But still... 

"Let's be completely honest here." The manager spoke again, his voice calm for once. "Which one is it? Hakyeon or Wonsik?"

"What do you mean? Are you trying to match me up with VIXX members?"

"You're dating one of them, aren't you?" 

"No?" You grew nervous. "Why would I date a VIXX member?" 

"I don't believe you." He sighed. "So much for being honest. When you're ready to admit your mistakes, then answer me. I'll be patient." 

Mistakes? Is dating someone a mistake? Well... They are from a different company. 

Even though I got caught today with Wonsik, it was better than being caught with Hakyeon. But I still felt really guilty towards Wonsik. 

I'll make it up to him.

Everything I say about Mystic89 Ent. Is not true. I figured this point was obvious but I just wanted to make sure so that it was clear so no one was thinking that I was bashing Mystic or anything. All made up! Anyways, thank you for reading and subscribing! ~PandaBiscuit~
