“YAH! LEE HEYOUNG!”

I secretly smiled at Heyoung, looking at her brother’s outburst as he was caught at it. The others also burst into laughter and teased Jaehyuk-hyung, we already know who Hying's crush in the production team—we caught him flirting(failing) with the one and only—Byeon Aerum

“Hyung, just admit it already so that your sister will know,” Jeonghan said as he burst into laughter together with Jun and DK.

“Hyung, don't be shy.”“Maybe Heyoung-noona will like her.”“Noona will not help you if you don’t say it.”

Jaehyuk-hyung just completely gave up as his entire face was full of red, blushing so badly. “Fine, it’s Aerum.”

I watched Heyoung teasing her brother too much; even Jeonghan, Mingyu, and Hoshi joined her. Seeing her smiling and bonding with my members makes my heart go nuts.

I only watched them, especially Heyoung, admiring her bond with my members. I put my right arm over Jaehyuk-hyung's shoulders. “Hyung really likes Aerum.”

“Oh dear, brother of mine, that's why you offered me a position in the production.” Heyoung teased.

“Really, hyung?!” “Aishhh…”“Hyunggg”

=====

After the teasing session, we continue our practice for more upcoming music awards shows. From the mirror in front of me, I saw Heyoung leave the room.

Minutes after, we all took a break from practice. I leaned my back against the mirror while watching the others filming for our YouTube channel—Inside Seventeen.

I scrolled down the Internet to check if anything was interesting. Upon minding my business, I felt someone sitting beside me–I looked and saw Jeonghan.

“Coupsie, piece of a mind?” Jeonghan said as he leaned his back on the mirror.

I shook my head, and silence came up between us.

Jaehyuk-hyung went to us with something in his hands. “Coups-ya, mind helping me with something?”

“Sure, hyung.”

Hyung and I went outside of the practice room to talk. As he shut the door, he handed me something. I looked at him confusedly with a questioning look.

“Hyung, what's this?” I asked, looking at the item he handed me.

He sighed, “Can you bring this to my sister?” He looked so frustrated upon asking me.

“Heyoung-ya purposely left it earlier.” He said while I laughed at him.

“Sure, but in one condition,” I said.

He looked at me and nodded.

=====

I made my way towards the production room. I greeted some employees on my way, smiling at them. I knocked on the door, and one of the production team opened it for me.

“Is Heyoung-ssi here?” I asked, searching her around. The employee nodded at me and showed me her desk.

I walked towards her desk with the item that Jaehyuk-hyung had handed me earlier. As I spotted her desk, I immediately knocked on her table, which gained her attention.

She was surprised that I was here, not her brother. “Oh? Scoups-ssi, what are you doing here?”

I lifted the item that Hyung had handed me. “Your brother wanted me to give you this.”

She sighed, but it changed it with a smile–Cute.

“I purposely left it so that he could see Aerum-ssi.” She pouted while I laughed at her silly side.

I leaned forward and smirked at her. “Maybe don't make it obvious.”

She blushed for a bit but, later on, laughed at her fullest. It makes my heart go nuts again.

“So, mind telling me what's that item?” I leaned back and crossed my arms. She looked at the item that I had handed.

“Ahh…I packed him lunch.” She smiled.

I nodded at her and bid my goodbye to her. As I made my way out, my phone suddenly buzzed.
