Ten was used to those unexpected situations, since having the friends he had and coming from a financially comfortable family, celebrities and famous figures were not so surprising anymore. He took small sips of his coffee looking at Johnny.

"How did you recognize her from this distance?" the despair was real, but he couldn't show it.

"Your car is right there, it's easy to recognize people when you see them over and over on TV."

Johnny knew that if he took too long to answer, Ten would discover the whole truth with the absurd sixth sense he had. Without stuttering, he preferred an answer that was neither so lie nor so true in the desperate impulse his heart suffered that minute.

"Okay..." a sigh. "I need you to keep everything that I will tell you now a secret, alright?"

"Ah, this will be fun." an evil smile.

"A few days ago her and I met by chance and then I remembered that we studied together in Chicago."

"How come you didn't remember that you studied with her before? Like, you knew who she was all this time" he was extremely outraged.

"I don't know. Hey don't judge me, stop that face." he pointed briefly at Ten with his eyes wide. "Moving on, she was afraid of getting involved in scandals and because of my mother's interview, she knew about my job. So we signed a contract and now I work as her personal personal trainer."

"You what?!"

Johnny quickly covered Ten's lips with his right hand. Laughing, Ten licked Johnny's hand just to get rid of it.

"Ugh!" he shook his hand in disgust wiping it off on Ten's white T-shirt.

"If you are her personal trainer, then why are you having breakfast together?" he mischievously smile again. "Are you on a date?"

"Stop, it's part of my job to drive her around."

"What, that's not what a personal trainer does, or is it?"

"Would you say no to a job offer having bills to pay?"

"Oh yeah, you got fired, I forgot about that."

"See, we're even, Jaehyun told you about me too." Johnny stared impatiently at his car in which the singer laughed alone while looking at her phone. "Alright, I think I better go before I get fired again."

"Okay..." again that strange smile.

"Don't tell anyone Ten, please. The boys are her fans too, it's going to be a hell of a roll if they find out she's my classmate."

"My lips are sealed" with a nod, Ten unlocked the doors of his blue Hyundai Sonata.

Headache, that's what Johnny was starting to feel when he knocked on Yuri's window and handed her the coffees and sandwiches.

"Thank you for the food" she smiled excited by the delicious aroma and the warm coffee.

"After eating what do you want to do?" he smiled.

"Warm-up and exercises" she took a medium bite of her salmon sandwich.

"The sooner we start, the fastest we'll finish."

Johnny found himself sighing more than he normally did that day, however Yuri hadn't realized. However he wasn't so uncomfortable spending the morning with the singer. They drank coffee and talked about random things, like her performances, rehearsals. As soon as they got home, they started warming up for the exercises. Johnny managed something simple at first, since Yuri commented that she'd never had classes and instructions like that before, just the basics at the gym. Her main focus was on dancing and singing practices.

"That's not how you do it..." he started laughing suddenly. "You look like a duck."

"A duck?!" she ended up laughing, but tried to show that she was irritated. "Don't mock me, teach me how to do it."

"The hand on your waist is to give you support, you don't need to stick your butt up so much." Johnny tried to help her.

"Like this?" she lifted her body so that it was almost on tiptoe.

"What the heck." Johnny couldn't stand it and laughed aloud. Giving up on talking, he approached calmly. "Excuse me, can I?" As soon as she allowed him to touch her, he went on "the elbows should be like this."

Gently Johnny lowered her hands more around the waist, holding them together from the girl's body and turned her a little more to the right. He lowered himself to her knees and lightly pressed them so she would bend a little more. With each touch he made, Rebecca felt an uncomfortable sting in her heart and a chill in her belly. However, as the good actress that she was, she hid every expression.

"Breathe slowly, elbows out, chest up. Imagine a swan, not a duck."

"Swan."

"Yes, you are a swan." he moved away a little to analyze the girl's pose. "Yes, exactly like that. Can you handle it?"

"It... Hurts a little..."

During Johnny's count, it was possible to see the pain on Rebecca's face. It was somewhat painful. As soon as he was done counting, she fall down to the floor.

"My God, that looked like yoga!" when she got up, a strong pain hit her leg. "HELP, JOHNNY!"

"What's wrong?!" he bent down beside her looking for any injuries or anomalies.

"MY LEG, IT HURTS, THERE, THERE!" she pointed out screaming desperately. "LEG CRAMP!"

With agility and care, the young personal trainer slid his hands from the knee to Yuri's heel massaging the place professionally. The tense muscles slowly relaxed as he pressed and her screams stopped slowly. However, the grimace of pain remained as she watched Johnny so expertly massaging her calf.

"Is it getting better?" he looked at her.

"Yes." she blushed slightly.

"You are not used to exercises that require too much, so when we finish counting you have to give your muscles time to relax." he released her leg. "I know it hurts and it's tiring, but you need to do everything slowly and carefully, okay?" he smiled standing up and held out his hand to her.

Johnny knew that Yuri had always been careless about certain things, bright and clumsy were also her nicknames in school, however he was sure that this was what drag people around her. The feeling of wanting to protect her because she seemed so innocent and naive made her look sweet. With more caution, he proceeded holding back the laughter at his former high school friend's inability to exercise. Well, Yuri had never been good at sports.

"And that's for today." Johnny's hands rested on his waist with a victorious smile. "For a beginner you did well even if you kept lifting your butt everytime."

"Pervert!" she sat on the floor a little sweaty. "Can you bring me a glass of water? My legs are shaking."

"Sure." he headed for the kitchen.

"The glasses are in the cupboard above the sink." she wiped her forehead and neck with her facecloth.

While pouring some cold water for Yuri and for him, Johnny analyzed the time on the clock into the digital panel of the refrigerator.

"I'll admit that you impressed me with your flexibility." he returned to the living room and handed the glass to Yuri.

"I took some ballet classes at the company."

"Speaking of which, I saw you in some TV shows."

She smiled automatically.

"I thought you didn't like my music."

"Where I used to work they always played your music videos. Well what I want to say is that you have a lot of talent, it surprised me to know the clumsy Yuri can sing like that. Your voice is beautiful."

Johnny realized how happy that made her, which ended up making him smile too and feel good about being honest.

"Thank you..." she took a sip of water to hide her smile.

"And I also wanted to say that exercising makes me hungry."

"It's not lunch time yet."

"My friend, I eat for three." Johnny took the right hand to his stomach. "This here is a black hole."

"You really haven't changed, have you?"

The way she smiled and looked at him now made him a little embarrassed.

"But seriously, I'm hungry."

"Okay, I'll cook for you."

"I was going to suggest buying you lunch in exchange for the coffee, but you said it, you can't go back now." he sat on the chair at the counter. "So, what are we having?"

Johnny did not imagine that Yuri cooked so well. However, this was definitely the best kimchi jjigae he had eaten in his entire life. They didn't have much to talk about, so they focused on eating and enjoying that quieter moment. Johnny didn't avoid saying how delicious that meal was and would even eat more if he hadn't been surprised by a message.

Taeyong

Hey, I want to ask you something, I'll be there in fifteen (11:45)>

Chittaphon wasn't known for being a gossip, and if the reason for Taeyong's unexpected visit was about the secret Johnny shared with Ten earlier, he would blame himself for making fun of the masseuse a few hours ago.

Since everything was heading for lies, Johnny no longer expected positive situations from now on.
