Two quick weeks pass and now, Vernon is out of the hospital, Joshua and I still haven't rescheduled our date, Dino is continuing to refuse any contact with Joshua and also, Wonpil is back home. There's only a three weeks of summer left until I need to go back to school unfortunately.

Right now, I'm sat alone in my bedroom sulking.

The boys are all busy shooting their new music video and I'm alone in the house, both of my parents being at work.

I hear my phone ringing and I sigh, reaching for it without looking and blindly answering the call.

"Hello?"

"Hey, it's me." I hear Joshua's voice and I smile slightly.

"I'm bored."

"Oh, I'm sorry. Why don't you come down to the set? I'm sure the boys wouldn't mind."

"Yeah, that's a good idea. Send me the address and I'll be there soon." I smile.

"Alright, see you soon."

I change from my pyjamas and into normal clothes, before leaving my house and heading towards the set which is luckily not too far away.

As I'm walking, I see three figures attired in black circling somebody and I frown. As I get closer, I realise that somebody is Wonpil. My eyes widen and I stop walking. After pushing him around a bit, they walk away and he stands with blood on his face, and when he sees me his eyes also widen.

"Areum?" He asks as I walk quickly towards him. "No, no don't come near me, turn around and walk away." He whispers loudly and I frown.

"Why?"

"Just trust me, walk away Areum." He warns and I nod slowly, not understanding.

I oblige and proceed to walk passed him, ignoring him as if he's a stranger.

What was all that about?

I shrug it off and continue walking towards the set, where their usual security guard is standing outside. He smiles when he sees me, recognising me before allowing me inside.

I see the boys singing along, their new song playing loudly, in front of a green screen and I smile. I stay out of view, knowing better than to interrupt when they're filming.

"Cut!" The director calls and the boys stop singing before rushing off the set.

"Areum!" Seungkwan shouts when he sees me, catching the attention of the other boys.

Dino looks at me annoyed, and I glare back at him before smiling at the other boys.

"Joshua." I smile and hug him tightly, the boys whistling and Dino grimacing.

"Hey, star." He says quietly and releases the hug.

"You two are disgusting..." Dino mutters and I once again, glare at him.

"You're just jealous." I tell him and he narrows his eyes at me.

"Typical sibling rivalry." Jun laughs.

"Boys, we need you for an outfit change!" One of their managers call and they agree.

"I'll see you later." Joshua whispers and disappears into the back room with the boys.

Once again, I'm alone with only their managers and workers surrounding me. I stand awkwardly with my arms crossed, not knowing what to say or do.

"You're Dino's sister, right?" One man, early 20's maybe, suddenly asks and walks towards me.

I turn, immediately noticing is eccentric red hair and prominent cheekbones. He smiles and for a few seconds, I simply stare at him silently before snapping out of my daze.

"Um, yeah."

"I'm Jimin, one of the set designers. How are you?" He asks with a kind smile and my mind chants Joshua's name as I desperately attempt to not stare.

"I'm Lee Areum," I greet and bow. "And I'm good thank you."

"I thought I'd come and say hello, you looked a little lost." He laughs.

He's wearing a white button up shirt, black trousers with a black tie, and circular glasses are resting on the bridge of his nose.

My mind races as I try to develop a response.

"Yeah, well, yeah." I mumble, awkwardly laughing in a monotone manner.

Why am I so embarrassing?

"I have to go now but I hope to see you later. Bye, Areum!" He says kindly and I nod slowly.

"Bye, Jimin."

He waves and walks away, back with the other crew members and I groan quietly.

"Why must I always be so embarrassing?" I whisper to myself.

I notice the boys walk out of the back room and instead of causal jeans and shirts, they're all wearing blue, striped suits and my eyes widen when I see Joshua. He looks so damn good.

"Why must there be so many hot boys here today?" I whisper to myself again as Joshua approaches me.

"How do I look?" He asks, pretending to pose like a model and I laugh.

"You look great-oh, wait," I lean forward and straighten his collar, and when my hand brushes against his neck I blush and quickly move it away. "There, perfect."

"Thanks, star."

"Boys!" I hear Jimin shout. "We need you over here."

"I've got to go again, bye." Joshua says quickly and unexpectedly leans forward, gently pressing his lips against my cheek and I blush madly.

"Oh my goodness, what just happened?" I ask myself, grinning widely.

We've kissed before but never in public, it's a whole new experience for me.

I watch as the boys perform their new dance routine in perfect sync. My eyes wander to Joshua and I stare at him. His legs look so good in those trousers-

"Vernon, take it easy," I hear a female voice and I look up. Vernon is holding his sore arm and I fill with worry. He's wearing a cast, obviously; it's broken, but it's hidden by the sleeve of his jacket. "You don't want your arm getting any worse."

Suddenly, as if the sun had moved dramatically closer to the earth, an uncomfortable heat spreads through the room and I begin to grow increasingly hot. I fan my hand in front of my face but it doesn't contribute much so instead, I result in taking a breather outside.

The normal security guard outside is now gone, leaving just the cold air and I alone.

My eyes widen when I hear footsteps approaching me and when I slowly turn my head, I see the tall, darkly dressed figures who were earlier bothering Wonpil walking towards me. I walk backwards and try to discretely reach for the door handle but before I have the chance to find it, they're already in front of me.

"So you're Wonpil's little lady friend?" One of the men asks, his voice unnaturally deep, even deeper than Wonwoo's and I stay silent, wide eyed and scared.

"You look a little too young for him, don't you think?" Another asks and I shake my head.

"We're just friends...." I stutter and they chuckle.

"Don't look so frightened, Areum-"

"How do you know my name?" I question, shocked but they ignore me.

"The next time you see Wonpil, tell him we spoke to you. That's all we ask." The third, previously silent man speaks and I nod slowly.

"Okay, I will..."

They walk away without another word and I frown, walking back into the building. Is that really all they wanted?

When I walk back into the room the boys were in, I see Joshua and I immediately smile at the sight of him, even though I'm scared and worried about Wonpil. Is something bad going to happen?

Author's note:
Sorry this chapter is super long.
Something is definitely dodgy with Wonpil! What do you think it is?

Anyway, this book reached 2k reads! Thank you all so much :)
