04 | Escape

***

Bracing herself, Seohyun slowly opened the door but only to be surprised when Hyo pushed the door open widely and walks inside her dorm excitedly.

"So this is your place. It's just the same as ours but the peach colour of the wall and black sofas differs." Hyoyeon said as she looks around with Donghae. She put the lunch boxes to the coffee table in the process.

"It's the Blue House's dorm, what do you expect?" Seohyun giggles.

"How about your room?"

"Yes?" Seohyun wasn't able to react anymore when both Hyo and Donghae proceeds to her room. She hastily follows them inside and before they could check the closet, she stood near it as Hyo and Donghae aren't that amazed with the same colour as the outside.

"You like peach and black?" Hyoyeon noticed. Because the sofas in her room are black, as well as the desk and laptop on top of it. Even the curtains and the bed are peach. Not to mention, the phone case is black.

"Yes. I love it. I love the combination of it." Seohyun sheepishly smiled.

"But she has a gray closet." Donghae pointed, noticing it also.

"Hehehe, yes. Um, someone gifted this to me." Seohyun lied as she awkwardly smiles.

"What's inside then?" Hyoyeon approached the closet but the owner immediately blocks her.

"I don't think it's necessary for you to check my closet." Seohyun explained. "Can we just go out and eat the breakfast you guys made for us?"

"Yeah, Seohyun is right. I'm actually hungry already."

"Come on, I am just curious how is your fashion taste." Hyo tried to push Seohyun away when the latter returned to her spot.

"I am seriously not going to let you see this, Hyo Unnie. I mean, my clothes are just simple and there's no need for you to open this."

"Hyo, just leave it. What would you do if she has good fashion style, eh?" Donghae finds it amusing.

"Donghae-ssi is right. Checking my closet is silly." Seohyun firmly stated, giving the older girl an intense stare. "And we are all hungry. Should we... Eat now, please?" But she dropped it as she pouted, cutely, hoping the latter will finally agree. Her brothers always couldn't resists her if she shows her sulky face, so she hopes it will take effect on her.

"Fine." Hyoyeon gives up and turns to leave, which also made Donghae and Seohyun. However, she changed her mind. She just sprinted back to the closet and successfully opens it before the owner can stop her.

Seohyun stood too late next to Hyoyeon, agape and doesn't know where did the President go because both of them was greeted by all her clothes hanging on the rock only. But as she looked down, she caught the President's bare feet. She hastily close it. "Happy now, Unnie?"

"No wonder you don't want me to see it. You have bad taste in fashion." Hyoyeon just commented without hesitating. "Hahaha, I'm sorry for opening it." She laughs and resumes leaving.

'Did she just insulted my clothes? Aish!' Seohyun thought and was about to follow them when the door's closet opens and the President's head peeked behind it. "Omo, what are you doing?" She quickly pushed him back.

"How long am I going to hide here, Agent Seo?" Asks Yoong in a whisper way.

"I will make them leave later. Don't worry!"

"Seriously?!"

"They can't see you here. You know that."

"But-"

"No BUTS! Stay here as much as possible. I'll be back once they leave!" Seohyun closes the closet in front of the President's face and follows the two outside immediately.

Yoong is dumbfounded. 'Did she just shut the door in from of me? And how could he instruct me? This is ridiculous.' Couldn't believe that his new Security Agent just did that. "But I can't stay here. I really can't!" He opens the closet and went to the door, not to leave the room but to lock it. "I can't breathe there. Does she even know that?" Apparently, his cheeks are still red, not because the weather is hot, but because of one lingerie. "Ugh." He marched to the bed and fell on his back with a bounce. "I'm hungry." Mumbles him at the same time.

'Otoke, He must be so hungry now.' It had been an hour and half but Seohyun can't still excuse herself from Donghae and Hyoyeon, who are so talkative, as they hang out in her living room. She keeps on glancing to her room, getting worried for the President, who can't leave because of the two. 'I'm so sorry, President Im. You know it's going to be a big problem if they sees you coming out from my room. I hope you keep your patience... I'll try my best to make an excuse.' But no matter how much she wanted to change the topic and at least give the two a stop from sharing different stuffs, it's hard. Both seemed so happy to hang out with her, yet she's responding only a little because of the doe-eyed inside her closet.

"Wait, we haven't seen the balcony, Seohyun-ah." Donghae suddenly realizes it.

"Yeah, should we hang out there instead of here?" Hyoyeon got excited. She and Donghae get up from their seats and was about to go to the room when Seohyun steps in with her arms spread.

"Not there please, I haven't cleaned it up." Explained Seohyun almost immediately. "You mentioned you love to bake cookies, right Unnie?" She finally brought it after trying for so many times earlier, yet she was unheard.

"Yeah... But what's the connection? We just want to hang out there. It's not a big deal if it's untidy or not." Hyoyeon said and tried to pass at the young agent but the latter suddenly grabs her by her shoulders and then she turns her around then she gently pushed her to the kitchen.

"I have my flour, milk, and everything you'd used for baking cookies. Why don't we make cookies? So we will have something to do other than just talking? Besides, I have to clean up first." Seohyun explained, hoping the older girl will change her mind. There's no way they're going inside again, otherwise, would be a problem if they finally see him. She can imagine, Hyo will be interested with her clothes again and that means, it's over.

"I love that idea." Donghae got excited more than seeing the room of the former. He is following them to the kitchen like a kid, excited to play flour. "I've never bake any cookies. It would be awesome to help you, Hyo."

"Right, Donghae-ssi." Seohyun feels pathetic but she has to convince the older, no matter what happens.

"Okay." Hyoyeon got convinced and she just willingly went to get the needed ingredients for the cookies. Donghae immediately helps her with them while Seohyun just stood near the table, watching them. "Aren't you going to also join us?"

"Oh, I will. But let me return to my room first." Seohyun said and flashes a bright smile, walking to the fridge and got the extra omelette she made earlier. She hides it behind her as she slowly left the kitchen in backwards. She felt so relieved to witness them too busy within just a minute. Once she's out, she hurried inside her room and quickly opens the closet, but to her surprised, it's empty. Then she heard noises from the bathroom, which she instantly thinks he's there. "President Im, are you alright?" She asks, not realizing the latter is having a hangover from the previous night.

Yoong is breathing heavily after he throws up again. "I can't... stop throwing up. I think this is because of last night." He told her as a matter of fact. "My stomach, I think it's very sick." 'And I don't even remember a thing last night because of him.'

Seohyun mentally scolded herself for just returning. "I'm sorry; it's hard to leave them. Um, that's obviously because you drink so much last night, Yoongie!"

'Yoongie?' Yoong raise his brows. 'So they did hang out last night.' But he finally concluded his theories are right. 'I wonder what did they do that we end up here?'

"I'll get you a medicine. Please come out now." Seohyun put the plate on top of the night stand as she took the medicine kit from the drawer. But while she searching for the medicine for hang-over, she noticed a note next to her phone. She got curious and took it, unfolding the note and was about to read it when someone snatched it from her grasp. She turned, just to see the timid smile, from the doe-eyed.

"Where's the medicine?" Yoong changed his mind about telling Seohyun his other self and put the paper to his pocket right away.

"Of course." Seohyun resumes on her search for at least a minute, before she got it and handed it to him. "I'm sorry that it took me long."

"It's okay. But I need a glass of water." said Yoong, taking the seat of the edge of the bed as he opens the pill.

Seohyun felt weird because he's just acting like nothing happened. But she ignored it and hastily left the room to get a glass of water. She felt luckier to see the two are now having fun with making cookies and she just left the kitchen with the glass, like she doesn't exists. When she returns, the doe-eyed is waiting patiently.

"Here." Seohyun handed the glass as she took the seat next to him. "I'm sorry again." For the second time, she felt bad, as she clearly can see how pale he is.

"What's that?" Pointed Yoong to the plate before he put the pill into his mouth and drinks the water.

"Oh, your breakfast, since you haven't eaten. I'm really-"

"Stop apologizing. It doesn't make sense." Yoong cut the young agent's words midway. "I just want to know how I am going to leave. Hyoyeon and Donghae obviously can't find me here."

"That's what I am trying to figure out. I mean... " Seohyun suddenly pause when she realize something. 'He remembers them while he doesn't remember my name last night? So he can remember everything now?'

"I mean... what?" Yoong patiently wanted to know, noticing the young agent has suddenly space out.

Seohyun snapped out and continued, "I have to make sure they're not in this building anymore before letting you out. But I need your patience, President Im... " she rubs her palms together. "I have yet to make plan on how to do this... Please, bear with me." as she begs for him.

Yoong sighs and nodded slowly. "Alright. Just don't let them come inside. I can't hide the closet again." He slightly bit his lip and cheeks blushes as he recalls the bra once again, the red bra he saw inside.

"Yes, I promise. And please don't create any noise again."

"I don't create noise, Agent Seo."

"You did last night, don't you remember?" Seohyun chuckled but quickly compose herself when she noticed her blank expressions. "Oh yeah, you're drunk. Anyway, please have your breakfast now. Be back if I have the chance to check on you. Get some fresh air outside the balcony, so it can help to get rid of your hang over. Be back before you know it."

"Wait." Yoong got the young agent's wrist too fast.

"Hmm?" Seohyun hums as her eyebrows rising.

"I was drunk last night... That explains how I woke up shirtless. Um... did he - I mean, Did I... do something weird?" Yoong curiously asked. The last time, he got a back pain and Yoongie did not even left him a note that he normally does.

"You wouldn't love to know. But last night was really good... " Seohyun meaningfully explained as she smiled meaningfully as well, bowing and then left the room again.

Yoong rubs his temples and let out another sigh as he couldn't actually imagine what Yoongie have done. "Aigoo, this is hard... pretending we are one." his attention then went to the plate and smiles a little. 'This will be the first time someone at my age cooked for me.' He thought before he took the spoon and it wasn't long and he enjoys the omelette. "Hmm..." That's surprisingly good.

Meanwhile, Seohyun still couldn't leave the door outside, as she still thinks it over, and then she also realizes the President's hair have turned back to black, which is really strange. His character have also seemed to return to its normal. But she's glad he wasn't that hype anymore. Although she loves what she saw last night, she still loves what she saw first on their first meeting. 'I badly need an explanation for all of these. But I'm glad he doesn't remember a thing last night. He would be so embarrass.' she thought as she finally left peacefully.

***

After doing all the cookies, Hyoyeon, Donghae and Seohyun all let out a relieved of loud sigh, while they're all mess up, with all the flours and flavours they made for the cookies.

"Can I take a shower in your room, Seohyun-ah?" Hyoyeon suddenly suggested.

"Yes? Why in my room? You have in your-"

"It's too hassle. I mean, I can just borrow a pair of clothes from you, right?"
