Ahnji enters the meeting room with Junnie in her arms.

"I apologize, no one could take care of her," Ahnji sits beside Beomgyu. Junnie sits at the table, caressing Beomgyu's script.

Beomgyu smiles as he caresses her fur when she sat in front of him.

"As you heard from the staff members earlier, MBC is planning to do a music festival in mid-May." The two idols take the details from the table.

"Instead of asking other idols to be MCs, we want you both to be the MC! Your dynamic is truly incredible," the staff mentioned.

Ahnji checks the list of idols who will perform. She saw some familiar groups.

From soloists like ChungHa and SunMi to groups like (G)I-Dle and NCT DREAM.

She also saw her name in the list, along with Dawn, Hyuna, and Jessi. She unknowingly smiles at their names.

She also saw JungKyung which made her smile wider.

"Are you both alright with it?" The staff asked, Beomgyu looked at Ahnji as if he wants her to accept first.

Suddenly, they heard Junnie whimper and make her way towards Ahnji.

"I will do it, it's fun working with Beomgyu," Ahnji smiles at Beomgyu who smiled at her answer.

"I guess, I'm doing it as well!"

Beomgyu chased after Ahnji who was heading to her waiting room.

"Ahnji, do you have a minute to spare?" Beomgyu cried her name. She turns around to face Beomgyu.

"Can I help you?" Her eyes land on Beomgyu who halted in front of her.

"Yes! In fact, do you want to grab a drink with me? I want to talk to you," Beomgyu's gaze was full of hope.

After days since the incident, he's been wanting to comfort her, as a friend, of course.

Ahnji was hesitant, but she accepted the offer anyway. The little puppy stayed in her arms.

Quietly, they head to the cafe near the building. The little puppy followed them, loyal to Ahnji's orders.

Eventually, they stayed by the outdoor part of the cafe. The aroma of caffeine sure spread through the cafe quickly.

"What do you want to talk about?" Ahnji fed Junnie some treats whilst she runs around the grass with other dogs.

"I want to ask how you are doing. I'm really sorry you heard that" Beomgyu sighed.

Ahnji nods her head, understanding Beomgyu's perspective.

"Honestly, I'm not really angry at him, you know? It's just I'm disappointed he didn't tell me because then I would know my limits."

Surely, she was disappointed. She didn't know where to stop or where to cross. She didn't know the limits.

Beomgyu understood her part though. The male thought that if they were in a relationship, honesty and communication is important.

However, Yeonjun continued to act that way without telling her he can't go any further.

"Anyway, let's forget about him... Any collabs you want to do for the festival?" Beomgyu questioned.

"I'm not sure yet, I do want to sing with Seulgi Unnie. Maybe, perform with a friend," Ahnji answered.

Soon, their orders came. Both chatted about their lives and the upcoming festival.

As MCs, they were bound to practice together for their special stage.

Both agreed to have days where they practice in each other's practice room.

"I want to try pole dancing," Beomgyu chokes on his drink when Ahnji said that. When he looked at Ahnji, she was unfazed.

"Don't you need insane strength for that?" Ahnji answered with a bob of her head.

"I'm still thinking about it... Why? Wanna try it with me?" Ahnji smirked at the idea but was bewildered by his answer.

"Sure!"

Ahnji bids her manager goodbye and exits the van. However, she was stopped by a familiar male figure.

"Ow..."

"What are you doing?" Yeonjun flinches his head when he hears Ahnji's voice.

Her eyes widen when she saw him feeding a stray cat.

Immediately, he straightened himself, trying to hide the nervousness on his face. He faces Ahnji.

"Just uh- feeding a cat. She seemed pregnant," Ahnji kneels down to the female cat who was whimpering.

"Oh my god, she's pregnant... Can you help me bring her to the apartment?" She asked to which Yeonjun responded immediately.

He carefully carried the box and entered the elevator with Ahnji.

"How long have you been watching her?" Ahnji asked as they waited for the elevator to reach her floor.

"For the past 20 minutes now," he answered.

"And you didn't even bring her in?" They hurriedly entered Ahnji's apartment.

Yeonjun noticed Ahnji's pet instantly surround them.

"Take her to my room, will you?" Ahnji hurriedly entered the kitchen to get some food.

Yeonjun did what she said and entered her room. He shuts the door and gently, he places the box beside her bed.

Ahnji came into the room with food and towels. She sits beside Yeonjun and watched the cat who's still whimpering.

"She looks like she's about to give birth," Yeonjun muttered.

"That's because she is about to give birth!"
