~Song for the Chapter~

• Mixed Signals - Ruth B.

"Let's then talk about what I should be doing here" Mark then fixed the way he sat and exuded formality

"JYPE wanted to prolong our dating scandal till the web drama is released" He told me but I knew by his face that he don't want this too

"I don't want to. It's like taking advantage of our fans and I don't want that" I strongly disagreed with the idea

He sighed in agreement with what I said. "Did you agree to it?" I asked him

"Not yet, I told them I want to get your opinion and approval on it. I asked them to hear our opinions regarding the issue" he explained to me and I smiled at how he acted

"Tell him that I would be talking to him furthermore about this issue. I disagree and that will be final. Prolonging the dating scandal furthermore would be unprofessional, he should trust our talents. I want the web drama to be popular because of our talent not because of a dating scandal that isn't true" I told him in authority

"Okay then, I'll report what you just told me" he said and smiled

"He really needs to trust our chemistry we look so good together" he winked at me and I responded with vomiting

"You both really do look good together though. Why not make the dating scandal real" Jihyo jumped on the teasing and gestured a camera capturing us

Mark posed handsomely while I glared at both of them. We all laughed at each other because of how crazy we looked

We all were just minding all of our business when Mark and Jihyo's phone vibrated at the same time. Both of them looked at each other before looking at their phones. I was curious why mine didn't notify me.

They looked at their phones in visible shock they would steal some glances at me which is so obvious. To feed unto my curiosity I asked them

"What happened?" I asked calmly and Jihyo swiftly smiled at me.

"Nothing... It's not that important hehe" Jihyo nervously chuckled but obviously trying to divert the subject

"It concerns me right?" I asked them but they didn't answer me while trying not to make eye contact with me. Mark then suddenly stood up and went near me. Jihyo was nervously eyeing Mark

"I feel like you feel suffocated in this room. Wanna go outside for some fresh air?" Mark suddenly asked out of the blue.

"What do you think you're doing?" Jihyo whispered to Mark but he just looked at her and nodded with a smile

Mark stretched his hand to guide me and I reluctantly held onto his arms.

"What about the guards?" I asked him

"It won't last long, I'll pursue them don't worry" Mark winked at me and I tightly held unto his arms

As the door opened the guards blocked our pathway as soon as they saw me

"Sorry sir Sana is prohibited to leave these rooms without permission from the higher-ups" the guard told him preventing us from leaving

"Ey. She needs some fresh air, it won't be long I promise" Mark told them but they stood their ground

"How about this, one of you come with us to guard us? You know Jyp would be much pleased if people saw us together in public" he told them and unexpectedly the guard lowered their hands

"So who from you all are coming with us" Mark asked them and they looked at each other. Two guards then suddenly went to our side

"I told you I could persuade them" Mark snickered at me

"Yeah, but it isn't nice to have two bodyguards with strong aura following us. It makes me stand out more" I told him and sighed

"I know you want me for yourself-" I cut his words with a smack

"You really need some beating for your nonsense" I told him as he held unto the aching part.

After a little walk, they arrived at the small park at the hospital. Flowers were growing from it. Little kids were also seen playing at the playground. We sat at the far bench where people wouldn't be able to recognize us and a small number of people were present. The guards were in a comfortable distance but we could still see them

"So why did you take me out?" I asked him while looking at the sun. He chuckled at me.

"The weather is so nice today" he said diverting the topic but I stood my ground.

"Don't beat around the bush, tell me what news did both of you receive which made both of you look suspicious.

I asked him seriously and I saw that he knew I wasn't joking around so he sighed.

"It was the management. They sent an article to our group chat, saying it was an emergency. The staff had an urgent meeting because of it" he stopped for a while to look at me and I nodded at him to let him continue.

"It's about one of our staff and the speculations was that it was Tzuyu" upon hearing her name, different feelings came to me at once. I then realized how I miss her that even her name makes me feel things.

"What about her?" I said calmly hiding the fact that I was actually worried about it.

"Our dating scandal just ended because of her, she saved us from prolonging the dating scandal that JYPE wanted. We won't be needing to fight for what we want to JYPE" he said while smiling.

"Wow Tzuyu really is one brave person, I salute her. The article spread fast huh that even JYPE failed to stop it. What connection did she use? It's now trending on Twitter" Mark continued while laughing

"What are you talking about let me see the article" I snatched the phone from Mark to see what the article is all about. As I read the headline I can't help but feel in awe.

"Why are you confusing my feelings Tzuyu-ah. What do you mean by this" I said as I covered my mouth
