Ariana POV

        Days just seemed to pass by quickly. One minute I'm in the practice room with Myungsoo working on the song and the next I'm being whisked away to a photo shoot. My life just became really hectic.

        About a week after I signed the contract, Hoya and I were brought to a film set for the CF that we were to film. As I looked around, I noticed that there were a lot of people wearing masks.

        The director came over and explained the concept in more detail than the boss did. Apparently, the idea was for a Masked Party.

        We were escorted to the dressing room and fitted for our outfits.

Hoya POV

        They put me in a suit and did some light make up before handing me a mask. I have to admit, the concept is good.

        I walked out of the dressing room and waited with the others while they set everything up. While waiting, I couldn't help but overhear some of their conversations.

        "Did you see her?" a girl scoffed.

        "I can't believe they are letting a plain girl like that take a main role in the CF" another girl huffed.

        "Relax" a guy said. "I heard from someone that she was only given the role because of that scandal with Hoya. Once they realize that she doesn't know how to act, they'll give it to someone more suitable."

        I really wanted to go over there and hit them. They knew nothing about Ariana, yet they kept talking about her like she was trash. I tried to calm myself, but it kept bothering me, so I decided that I would at least say something to them.

        As I was approaching the group that were chatting, Ariana suddenly appeared in front of me. "Where are you going?"

        "Holy Crap! Where did you come from?"

        "I've been standing beside you for a little while now. Why? You didn't see me?"

        "No, I didn't."

        "So, where were you going?"

        I looked over at the group that was talking trash and then back to her. "I was, uh...."

        "Leave them be" she said.

        "But...."

        "No buts Hoya" she scolded me like a little boy. "I know you are upset about what they were saying, but let it go."

        "How can you expect me to do that? You know how I feel about....."

        She giggled "They think that I can't act, right?"

        "Yeah" I nodded.

        "Then they are in for a surprise" she giggled some more.

        "Okay, what don't I know?"

        She pulled me closer and whispered in my ear "I'm actually a musical actress."

        "What?" I screamed causing a lot of people to stare at me.

Ariana POV

        I knew that Hoya would be shocked. Then again, I never mentioned anything about what I did for work to any of them. "Shh!"

        "Why didn't you say anything?" he whispered back at me.

        "Would you have believed me if I did?"

        "I don't know" he was earnestly unsure.

        "Just relax and leave them be. They are only talking about it because of the pictures of us. Once they realize that I know what I'm doing, the rumors will stop."

        He relaxed and smiled a little. Then he started laughing "The guys are going to flip when they find out about this."

        I blushed and laughed with him.

        The filming went very smoothly and the other actors and actresses were shocked into silence when they realized that I could act very well.

        As we were on our way back to the dorm, Hoya couldn't contain his curiosity and began asking me tons of questions about my musical career. He asked how long I had been working in musicals, when I got my first real role, and what roles I have played.

        When we arrived back at the dorm, the guys surrounded us. "So how did the filming go?" Woohyun asked.

        "Did you have to do a lot of retakes?" Sungyeol wiggled his eyebrows at Hoya.

        Hoya punched his arm hard and I couldn't help but giggle. "Sorry to burst your bubble guys, but we only had to do one take" I said as I stuck my tongue out at them.

Sunggyu POV

        When she said they they only did one take, I felt relieved. I was worried that she might have to kiss him multiple times.

        "That's weird" Myungsoo commented. "Usually new actors have to do multiple retakes. How were you able to get an okay on the first try?"

        Both Hoya and Ariana giggled to themselves. "That's our little secret" Hoya said as he walked off to his room.

        We were all a little confused. Then Woohyun asked "What's that mean?"

        Ariana giggled a little more before she also walked to her room.

        "This is so not fair! What do they know that we don't?" Myungsoo whined.

Ariana POV

        If Hoya wasn't going to tell them right away, I guess I could play along for a little while. I think I'll wait until the CF comes out.

        The next day the guys continued to question us about it, but we both kept our lips sealed tight. Then Sunggyu asked to speak to me in private.

        "Ariana, I know that you probably have your reasons for not telling us..."

        "Do you really want to know?" I smiled sincerely.

        He looked at me in surprise. "Would you tell me?"

        I pulled him close to me and whispered what he was dying to know.

        "Seriously?" he started smiling. I nodded in reply. "You should have said something sooner! I could have tried to get you a part in the musical I'm working on. Hold on a second..." he pulled out his phone and looked at something. "What are you doing today?"

        "I don't really have any plans, why?"

        "Want to go to an audition?"

        "What?"

        "The musical I'm working on is having auditions today for some small roles. What do you think? You interested?"

        I couldn't help but smile. I would love to work with him on a musical! "Sure! Let's do it!"

        He grabbed my hand and we left for the audition. I honestly don't expect to get a part. I just want to be with him right now.
