"you ready?" hoseok asked as he greet me outside my door.

i nodded and grabbed my bag. the ceo wanted us to go to gwangju today and let me leave early from the company. i excused myself to jimin saying i'm going to my province suddenly since it's an emergency. i lied because i don't want him to know that i'll be with hoseok.

"let's go." he said then snatched my bag from me and placed it on his compartment.

i went to the passenger's seat and set myself comfortable. hoseok then went in and started the engine.

"it would take us 3 hours to arrive there, rest for a while." he then started driving.

"whatever." i closed my eyes because i don't want to see hoseok's face but heard hoseok chuckled.

i grabbed my earphones and shove into my ear. i don't even wanna hear him either. i thought i was never gonna see him again but what the heck is happening right now? am i really going with him? ugh

i felt my eyes getting heavy so i let my self sleep.

-

"y/n, we're here!" hoseok yelled in my ears after i felt my earphone being taken out.

i opened my eyes irritatedly, "your voice is so loud! ugh!" i yelled back then opened the door with a frown.

i really really hate it when someone interrupts my sleep and jung hoseok did it again. i stomped my feet outside and waited for him.

"geez, calm down. your face looks like you're going to stab me anytime." he chuckled.

"i was about to but my angel side stopped me." i scoffed.

"do you even have that side?" he muttered but i accidentally heard.

"what—"

"let's go!" he grabbed me by my wrist and pulled me towards a building which i assume their company here in gwangju.

we went in after the guards let us and even gave a big bow to hoseok. he grabbed me until we faced a door similar to the ceo's door back in seoul company. hoseok opened it as i saw a aged woman lit her eyes up to hoseok until it widened.

"hoseok!" she stood up and spread her arms as hoseok run to her. "my sunshineeeeee," she whined as they hugged.

"mom, i missed you so much!" he exclaimed.

so his mother manages their company in gwangju while his father is in seoul?

i stood there until she noticed my presence. i bowed and smiled at her.

"who are you, dear?" she asked.

"hoseok's girlfr—" i answered but cut off by him.

"'my personal assistant!" he chuckled while he ignored my eye contact.

"ohhh, come sit." i nodded and sat in the chair opposite as hoseok.

i thought he wanted me to pretend again? or not? i mean he didn't say i would pretend here in gwangju. perhaps only to his father again?

they both talked while i drank my tea. i ignored them but their topic caught my attention,

"you don't have a girlfriend right?" his mom asked.

he looked at me for a sec but shook his head to his mom. i furrowed my eyebrows and pretended i wasn't listening.

"great, you kept your promise to me." she excitedly said, "yeonwa's still waiting for you."

hoseok looked at her mother confusely, "still? mom, i told you i don't like her—"

"just try it out, sunshine. she's your childhood friend after all, she also likes you." she giggled.

hoseok sighed. they both ended their conversation and stood up, they bid a goodbye as i bowed.

we got out from the building as he suddenly faced me, "no pretending here in gwangju, my mom doesn't know me and dad's issue. isn't that cool?" he shrugged.

"maybe—"

"HOBI!" i was cut off by a shout.

we both turned our head to the girl who yelled, she was running fastly to us. her hair is blonde, maybe taller than me, and she was was wearing a short shorts with tank tops.

"oh, yeonwa. how are yo—" she hugged hoseok tightly that made him cut off his sentence.

"i missed you so much hobi!" she released hoseok and smiled widely at him.

"uhm me too. how are you?" he chuckled.

"i'm good. it's my day off from your company today so i went out with my friends." she giggled.

"is that so? wanna grab some coffee?"

"omg, sure!" she cling onto hoseok's arm as they walked to his car.

i followed them as i rolled my eyes, she's so clingy to the point that she annoys me. i was about to open the passenger seat's door but stopped when she grabbed the door instead and shove herself on the seat.

"excuse me, who are you?" she looked up from the seat.

"hoseok's girl—i mean personal assistant."

"oh? okay." she then slammed the door.

i scoffed and looked at hoseok. he pursed his lips and made a sorry face. i felt so annoyed so i stomped my feet towards the back seat. i sat irritatedly while i crossed my arms.

hoseok then started the engine while glancing at me through the rear mirror but i always roll my eyes. we arrived at the cafe and ordered. i ordered espresso and we started to find a seat.

i was about to sit on the four-seated table but she grabbed hoseok on the two-seated table. where am i supposed to seat then?

i crossed my arms infront of them and she eyed me, "excuse me? anything you want?" she rose her eyebrows.

i almost scoffed but stopped myself, "where am i going to sit?" i controlled my tone.

"y/n, grab a chair and sit with us—" hoseok said but was cut off.

"can you please sit separate with us? we're going to talk about personal topic but since you're just his assistant, go sit somewhere." she smiled a little and quickly eyed hoseok again as if he would disappear anytime.

i scoffed then looked at hoseok, he mouted, "i'm sorry."

i rolled my eyes and sat on the separate table. our order arrived so i grabbed my espresso to calm my self down and to stop myself from bitch slapping this girl.

i both heard them laughing and talking about their childhood memories. i rolled my eyes and took out my phone. i scrolled in twitter but i need to pee. i stood up then i noticed hoseok looked at me, i ignored then made my way to the restroom.

i pee and retouch a little then go out. i was about to go back to my table when someone grabbed my arms.

"y/n?"

i turned my head and my eyes widened,

"taehyung?"
