Chapter 11
Between Us
Since there's no production activities till Monday, most of the cast aren’t back from their schedules. Lucas who just arrived from Korea, decides to tag along back to the dorm with the other members instead of going back to the hotel being alone with his manager only
The members comes back with a relieved feeling and calm after knowing SM is satisfied with WayV’s progress so far
“Better than being neglected right?” said Ten talking about how SM discussed WayV will have more agenda’s in the next couple of months
Lucas went straight to his room that he shares with Winwin when finally coming back to their dorm. Winwin follows him from behind and closes the door
Lucas places down his bag not far from where he stood before throwing himself to his bed. He positioned his head over his pillow and takes out his phone from his right hoodie sweater pocket. He opens his kakao apps and went through the unread chats that just came in to reply them one by one
After scrolling down and replying to the last one, Lucas scrolls down further and stops at Yuqi’s username, When was the last time we chat? He asked himself clicking and checking the date before finally clicking her profile picture

Soyeon, Miyeon, Minnie, Soojin, Shuhua and Yuqi just finish their fan meet for today and getting ready to go back to their dorm
Except for Yuqi who have to go straight to the airport because she is scheduled to shoot an advertisement for one of the sponsorships in China the next day
“Come Woogie. Long way to go” her manager reminding her that it will take an hour to reach the airport from where they are now
Yuqi waves to the girls and staff departing herself from them, “See you in two days” she walks out of the room and catches up with her manager that’s already waiting in the parking lot
Her manager opens the passenger door for her, “You got all of your things with you?” he makes sure before they leave. Yuqi give an ok gesture telling him she already does, “Ok then. Airport here we come again” he closes the door and heads to the seat in front besides the driver

It’s been around 10 minutes Lucas keeps staring up to his phone to the point Winwin can’t help himself from not wanting to know what Lucas is so focus on
Lucas closes the kakao apps as soon as he felt a shadow verging closer to him, “What are you doing ge?” he looks up to Winwin
“I’m getting worried you might get in if you stare at it any longer” Winwin sits at the edge of Lucas’s bed, “Can I know what is it?” he tries to get a good look at Lucas’s phone
Lucas locks his screen phone and slides it underneath his pillow coming up with a good excuse, “. Happy?” he lied to get Winwin off his back
Winwin stands up not having any suspicions that Lucas told him is a lie, “Ok then” he sighed with a smile, “Continue on. I won’t disturb your me time” he walks out of the room giving Lucas some privacy
Lucas shakes his head and huffed not believing till this day Winwin is very easy to fool, “Too innocent for his age” he mumbles grabbing back his phone, “Ok Lucas. You can do this” he says opening Yuqi’s contact

Yuqi gazes out the window as the car that’s taking her and her manager to the airport drives 80 km/h
It’s a clear sky tonight, so clear there were only few stars that’s glowing, “One. Two—“ Yuqi counts them out up until her phone starts to vibrate in the palm of her right hand
Lucas : Busy?
Yuqi : Currently on the way
Lucas : On the way to..?
Yuqi : Airport
Lucas : Airport?
Yuqi : Yeah. Airport. For an individual schedule if your start to wonder that is
Lucas : Where?
Yuqi : Where else

Yuqi : Here? Wait. Your back there already? So soon?
Lucas : Me and the guys was only set 2 days in Korea. For a meeting only
Yuqi : I see
Lucas : So how many days you’re staying here?
Yuqi : Like you. 2 days only
Lucas : I see
Yuqi : Anymore questions? Cause it feels like I'm being investigated right now
Lucas : LOL. One more question, What time do you usually sleep?
Yuqi : Ok. That’s random. Why ask?
Lucas : Who knows you want to hang out after you arrive back to the hotel
Yuqi : You’re kidding right? Did you check what time is it before you asked? #RollingMyEyes
Lucas : So it’s a no?
Yuqi : Maybe next time. When it’s not so late. And besides i’m kind of beat up tonight
Lucas : So this mean we’ll meet on Monday
Yuqi : Precisely, why? Don’t tell me you already miss my presence?
Yuqi : I was only kidding. Don’t need to answer
Lucas : Haha. See you on Monday Yuci. Try not to catch a cold
Yuqi : Thanks for your concern. I’ll try not too, Lucas

The stylist team, like usual, books and arrange a time to do a fitting for today’s interview and the next episodes filming
“I’m team peach?” Yuqi watched the stylist team giving the stylist Yuqi’s sportswear consists of sweat jacket, shirt, sweat pants, and sneakers
Yuqi went inside her room to change to see if everything is well fitted or needed to be altered, “Who else is team peach?” she tries to persuade the stylist to spill some names
The stylist sees every detail closely. From the arms to the legs, “My answer will remain the same,” she smiles returning back facing Yuqi, “You’ll see tomorrow”
“Ok. Ok” Yuqi laughs, “Whose next for fitting, jie jie?”
“Xuxi” the stylist answered
Yuqi glances to the stylist team, “What color sweat jacket will he get?” she blinks her eyes to them while taking off the sweat jacket
The stylist lends Yuqi a hand, “Nice try there” the stylist smiles chuckling, “You almost got me”
Yuqi pouted her lips going inside her room to take off the rest of her wardrobe for tomorrow, “Here you go” she hands back the sports wear and gymnastic costume to the stylist
The stylist left only Yuqi’s wardrobe for the interview and brought the rest with her
Afterwards, the stylist and her team will continue for the next fitting with Lucas
Minutes later, Yuqi’s make up team knocks on the door room, “Come in” her manager opens and welcome them inside
While Yuqi still in the bathroom, the make up team sets up and prepare all their amenities for Yuqi to be ready and pretty for the interview that she and the others will do later in the afternoon
They then will continue with the dinner gathering to announce the 4 guest that will be joining them for the next episode filming

Lucas, who got the last turn to do fitting, finally steps out of the elevator along with his manager wearing a white shirt with jeans outer and black pants, to join the cast that waited for him in the lobby lounge
Surrounded by bodyguards, they get ready to go to the ballroom where the interview will be held
Lucas spots and approaches Yuqi who is standing near Angelababy with the stuff pink panther in her arms, “Don’t you look cute today” he scans Yuqi from the top of her head to the bottom of her feet
“Thanks?” she says in a confused tone, “Do I need to compliment you back or something?”
With a smirk, Lucas replies with full of confidence, “No need. I know I look handsome no matter what I wear”
“That line is getting old” Yuqi rolls her eyes and walks away taking small fast steps towards the ballroom
Lucas holds in his laughter watching her leave from behind, With that hairstyle, overall jeans and converse. She looks like an elementary schooler, he says silently in his mind
