'Hyung let's go drink coffee' Taemin suggested as they finished their lunch.

'Okay lets go' Onew agreed and they left the room.

They get down to the common lounge and watch the interns return back after their lunch. Minho walked slowly to look if Meera was around. He finally spotted her coming in with Hyu Jin.

'Give it here. Why didn't you leave them back inside.' Hyu Jin pulled the files from Meera's hand.

'I forgot my bag today.' Meera replied grabbing his water bottle. 

'It's okay keep it mine. I will keep them safe.' Hyu Jin suggested.

'Thank you Hyu Jin' Meera smiled as they all entered the elevator.

'I have something to do.' Minho informed as they got to the parking.

'Suddenly? ' Onew asked curious.

'You guys carry on I will be back in the practice room in 1 hour.' Minho waved getting into his car.

'What age group do you want it for?' the salesperson asks.

'Working lady.' Minho replies hesitantly.

'What about these...' the salesperson replies pointing to some bold red and brown ones.

'A younger working lady' Minho corrects himself.

'Then try these neutral ones sir..' the salesperson suggests showing him other options.

'I don't even know what color she likes. Key would know better in such things. I should have asked him to come. No no he would tease me like there's no tomorrow.' Minho thinks hard trying to make a decision.

Finally he bought a one which he felt satisfied with. 

'Blue is a calming color. Its not such a bad one is it' Minho turns the bag around to self assess once more before driving back to SM.

Minmee's Dad ~ Meet me at the SM wardrobe in five minutes?

me ~ Is it urgent?

Minmee's Dad ~ Meet me at the SM wardrobe in five minutes.

'Why does he even bother asking the first time then.' Meera facepalms herself at his response.

Meera looks around and enters the closet room. As the door opens she scans the room to check if its empty. She walks through the front racks but can't find anyone.

me ~ I am here. But I can't see you.

Instead of a reply someone grabbed her by the shoulder into one of the cloth racks. 

'I said in five minutes, its already seven minutes.' Minho remarks checking his watch.

'I had to search this you know?' Meera protests as Minho gives her a box.

'What is it?' Meera asked curiously opening the box.

'A gift' Minho replied.

'Oh its pretty, you got nice choice. Unless the person has odd taste, they'll like it.' Meera comments.

'So do you have odd taste?' Minho enquires.

'Why are you asking?' Meera questioned.

'I bought it for you.' Minho answered.

'What? Why did you?' Meera gasped looking at him.

'You can exchange it you don't like the color.' Minho replied.

'I am going to return it. This must be very expensive.' Meera answered putting the bag inside the wrap.

'You can't. I am giving it just take it already.' Minho pushed the box towards her.

'Why are you so stubborn?' Meera hissed as the box fumbled

'Welcome to another video of JCC' Johnny greeted as the door flung open.

'What?' Meera said shocked before Minho suppressed her mouth.

'Hello my Joh Fam, doesn't this place seem familiar. Yes you got it right, we are doing to have another styling video. This time we got our newest members with us.' Johnny explained as the members entered. 

'They said they will be filming out?' Meera whispers as they hide behind some cloth shelves.

'How do we get out now?' Minho mentions as they peep through the gaps in between.

'Thanks to someone, we are stuck here.' Meera says staring at him.

'Why are you mad at me?' Minho argues.

'Couldn't you do this at home?' Meera enquires.

'Okay your time starts now' Johnny announces and the members rush through the clothes.

'Omg they are coming this way.' Meera freaks out.

Minho drags her towards an inner storage door. There isn't much room left as Minho enters behind her. Meera puts the box on a shelf trying to make space for Minho. He moved closer to her so that the door could be closed properly as slow as possible without making a sound.  

'Is it uncomfortable?' Minho asks as he notices Meera's face expressions change due to their proximity. 

'No, I think I might sneeze anytime.' Meera wiggles her nose. 

'Don't.' Minho warns shaking his head. 

'I can't-' Meera sneezes but the voice gets muffled off as Minho pulls her to bury her head in his chest. 

'Thanks for breaking my nose.' Meera mumbles on his shirt. 

'Thanks for ruining my shirt' Minho replies looking at the lipstick mark. 

'Who told you to hug me then?' Meera comments trying to wipe it out aggressively with her fingers. 

'I did not hug you, don't do that I am sensitive over there.' Minho defends holding her hand.

'Sensitive? Oh sorry-' Meera apologizes realizing what he meant by sensitive.

After a minute of embarrassing silence Meera tries to break the ice.

'What fabric softener is it?' Meera asks adjusting her hair. 

'That's my perfume.' Minho retorts with disbelief. 

'Nice one.' Meera replies trying to not sound awkward. 

Minutes pass by and the members still don't leave, Minho and Meera try waiting patiently until the others get out.

'Why is it so hot here?' Minho sighed fanning himself with his hand.

'No only you are hot.' Meera replies blowing some air for him.

'What?' Minho asks surprised at her comment.

'I mean you are just warm blooded. Why do you think everything like that.' Meera corrects herself.

'Then what are you? A reptile?' Minho laughed.

'Ugh! That was not funny.' Meera sighs.

'No it was very funny for me' Minho chuckled.

'Look I am not feeling hot, its just you.' Meera comments touching his hand to show the temperature.

'Why are they so cold. Do you want some?' Minho inches forward touching her face as he held her hand with his other one. 

For a moment Meera could not think for anything else, his big hand almost covered her cheek and half the neck. She closed her eyes as she felt his warm breath on her forehead. Her cheeks heated up due to the situation.

'I don't think it works like that Minho shi' Meera blushed removing his hand as her heart started beating faster.

'Okay.' Minho nods leaving her other hand. 'But your hands are so small.' Minho said as he placed her palm on his comparing the size.

'Mine are normal. No yours are just big. ' Meera replies still trying to recover from the incident.
