"Hayi ya! Let's go get you some rest already. You have an early flight tomorrow..."

"Oppa, just one more round of all the songs, please? Please~?" Hayi pleaded, being uncharacteristically cute as she did so. "Oppa~ please?"

With a sigh her Manager Oppa concedes and tells her that he'll be waiting for her outside at the 24/7 mart in front of YG.

Alone in the practice room, Hayi plays her MR again and begins to sing by herself. There's virtually no one else inside the YG building aside from the security guards and her but she doesn't mind. All she could think about right now is doing well on her first ever YG Family concert with her sunbaes. 

Just thinking about performing in Japan for the first time, in a dome concert sent shivers down her spine. She's been rehearsing three songs for more than five hours now and even though Minzy, whom she'll be sharing one of her songs with in a duet, has already told her that her performance is already perfect, Hayi still cannot shake the butterflies away.

Without noticing it herself, she's already about to go through her third round of practicing and realize that it's almost one in the morning. She immediately checks her phone and saw that her Manager Oppa has left quite a few messages already.

"Aya~ Oppa must be boiling mad now. I guess it's time to go home" Hayi told herself as she turned off the computer and grabbed her bag. Headed out of the door she checks herself out in the mirror one last time before turning the light off and said "Hayi ya~ You can do this! Fighting~!"

 As she walked past by the other training room, Hayi saw that the lights were on inside. She tiptoed and took a peek through the glass door but saw no one inside, out of her own curiosity she opens the door to check inside but still found no one. Hayi shrugged off other thoughts; she didn't want to scare herself and convinced herself that the room is probably going to be cleaned by the cleaning ladies.

Walking a bit faster now, Hayi sees someone with his head down on one of the tables at the cafeteria and again got curious as to who he is. He's wearing a jacket and had his hood over his head, his face was turned to the other side and Hayi thought that it may be her Manager Oppa who fell asleep waiting for her.

She silently moved towards him to wake him up. She grabbed hold of his shoulders and screamed at him. The guy jumped from surprise and fell on the floor. Hayi laughed at him.

"Ay shiiii~" The guy shouted angrily and as soon as Hayi heard his voice she realized it wasn't her Manager, the guy stood up and faced her "What the hell are you doing?!?"

B.I. stood really close to her. His bare, swollen face just a few inches away from Hayi's. 

"Oh, I'm really sorry~! I'm sorry~!" Hayi hurriedly said as she stepped backwards and bowed to him "I'm really sorry. I thought you were someone else."

As much as Hayi was shocked and embarrassed, B.I. too turned red and was flustered after seeing her. 

"No, no, no, no! It's okay, it's fine, it's fine!" B.I. said, bowing to her as well. 

"Hayi ya!" Hayi's Manager Oppa came shouting, with instant ramen in hand "I can't let you stay here anymore. Your Mother is already looking for you"

"Alright, I was just about to go too..." Hayi replied, still looking very much like a tomato. She turned to B.I. again and said "I'm really, really sorry"

"Ah, no. It's really okay" He replies as they both bow at each other before Hayi left.

"It's good seeing you speaking with Hanbin" Hayi's Manager said as he started the car's engine.

"Why?"

"You'll be with those Team B boys tomorrow in the same flight to Osaka"

"What?" Hayi quipped in disbelief. She wanted to just die right there and then.

"Unnie, do we really have to go together?" Hayi asked one of the stylists as they waited inside a van outside of YG

"What?" the stylist Unnie replied, not hearing Hayi's question because of her concentration to her cellphone

"I mean, do we really have to wait for the others? Can't we just go to the airport ahead of them?" Hayi said, rephrasing her words so that she sounded less suspicious "They're late, Unnie"

"You're right. Wait here; I'll go ask them outside"

Being on the same flight as the Team B boys would be inevitable but at least she could still stall some time before she sees Hanbin again. Hayi is still pretty much embarrassed for what happened last night; she stayed up all night feeling anxious about that more than the concert itself.

"Hayi, can you just place this there with you?" Hayi's Manager Oppa said, opening the trunk of Hayi's car and handing her a duffel bag

"What's going on, Oppa? Aren't we leaving?" Hayi asks confusedly 

"Yeah, we're going now but we have to make room for one person in our car."

"What? Why?"

"There're too many of them, they won't fit everyone in their van. We have to take one in"

Without replying, Hayi clasped together her hands which were growing clammy. She kept on wishing it to be anyone but...

"Hello, I'm sorry for the inconvenience" Junhoe opened the door. Hayi sighed with relief; thank God it isn't B.I. "Hello"
