Timeline: February 2021

The whole office was in chaos after some employees working under TXT came into our office–they asked us if we were willing to help them with other work since TXT would make a comeback. All of us agreed to help.

As we all worked together with the TXT production team–a man came to my desk while holding a coffee. He stopped at my side and greeted me with a smile.

"Hi! I'm Baek Hanjun, a production staff member working under TXT." He put down his coffee on my desk and extended his right hand.

I shook his right hand as if it were nice to meet him. "I'm Lee Heyoung."

After the greeting, he stayed at my desk for how long–he kept on blabbering some stuff; I only smiled at his actions, which made him look like I was into his conversation. I remained focused on my computer to finish the goddamn work.

In the corner of my eye, I saw our office's door open and Scoups entered. I want to go to him, but Hanjun is still talking to me, and my work is still not done.

Eventually, I once again glanced at the office door where Scoups was standing. However, Aerum-ssi approached him with a lovely smile on her face–I wanted to puke.

I saw how they talked and how Aerum-ssi linked her arm to Scoups' arms–I must retain my jealous side that is building up. Scoups showed Aerum-ssi a paper bag.

"Heyoung-ssi, are you still here?" Hanjun asked, making me look at him for a bit.

"Uh...Nae..." I said as I saw Scoups was leaving. "Sorry, I zoned out."

"It's alright, Heyoung-ssi." He said.

Hanjun stopped talking when Aerum-ssi passed by my desk.

"Oh, Aerum-ssi, what's that?" He asked as Aerum-ssi stopped in front of my desk.

"Ani...Scoups bought me food, and he also gave me a note for me." Aerum-ssi said, showing us the note that Scoups had written.

I hope this will brighten your day and your stomach :) - Scoups

"Look at how sweet Coups-ssi is." Aerum-ssi dreamily said. I secretly rolled my eyes at her.

"I didn't know SEVENTEEN Scoups had a thing with you, Aerum-ssi." Hanjun teased. I glanced at them, seeing how Aerum-ssi blushed from the teasing.

Ani...this is not jealousy

"Heyoung-ya, let's go."

I was too focused on my work when I heard Ayun-eonni.

"Heyoung-ya, stop already, and let's go home," Ayun-eonni said, taking a seat beside me.

"Just a little bit, eonni. Let me finish this paragraph." I said eyes focused on the screen of my computer.

"Finish that, and let's go home together. I don't want to leave you alone, but why are you doing that, though? I thought you were part of the Music Video Production staff." Ayun-eonni said while looking at the screen of my computer.

"Aerum-ssi dumped some of her work on me again. She said that she had an emergency at home," I said, typing the last sentence. "And I'm done!"

I leaned back and stretched my arms. I quickly fixed my things, and Ayun-eonni also helped me.

After gathering all of my things and checking if everything was okay, we left the office. We are outside of the HYBE Building. I was waiting for Jaehyuk-oppa to pick me up while Ayun-eonni was waiting for a taxi to come by.

"Nae...eonni," I started, "Do you have plans later? I mean, my brother is picking me up, and we are going to have dinner together...maybe you want to join us?"

I want to invite Ayun-eonni and introduce her to Jaehyuk-Oppa–I know Oppa likes Aerum-ssi, but I don't like her.

"I would love to, Heyoung-ya. But I need to go home, my son is waiting for me." Ayun-eonni sadly said.

I nodded at her. "Maybe we could give you a ride home, eonni."

A sudden honk made its way to us, where Jaehyuk-Oppa had arrived.

Jaehyuk-Oppa got out of his car and went to where Ayun-eonni and I were standing.

"Heyoung-ya!"

"Oppa!"

"Aish...why are you late?" I asked.

"Aish...you should be grateful that I came to pick you up and treat you to dinner later." He said. "Oh? I didn't know you had someone with you." He added.

I looked at Ayun-eonni, she seemed to get uncomfortable between us.

"Ahh...Oppa, this is Ayun-eonni; she's my friend from the production team." I said. "And Ayun-eonni this is my brother, Jaehyuk-Oppa; he's one of the managers of SEVENTEEN."

Both of them shook hands together; they looked good together, though. If only Jaehyuk-Oppa didn't have a crush on Aerum-ssi–I would rather hook up Oppa with Ayun-eonni.

"Nae, Oppa, is it okay if we could give Ayun-eonni a ride?" I asked after both of them shook hands together.

"Uh...sure it's fine by me," Oppa said, smiling at Ayun-eonni.

I glanced at Ayun-eonni, who looked hesitant about giving her a ride; I nudged Eonni for her to answer.

"Fine, if it's not a hassle for you, Jaehyuk-ssi." She said.

"Ani... it's not a hassle. I mean it's not safe for a lady like you to go home in this hour." Oppa said while opening the door of his car.

Ayun-eonni looks like she has given up.

We all went inside the car–Ayun-eonni sitting at the back while Oppa and I were in front. As we all settled, we left and blasted some music.
