New chapter is up, enjoy people....

Meera woke up early the next morning to finally try implementing the cooking Kun taught her. She opened up the recipe she noted down on her notepad and checked the ingredients. After trying it the third time she got all the breakfast done nicely. 'You woke before me?' Minho asked surprised as he saw Meera already on the sofa. 'Yeah.' Meera replied as she feed Minmee and Raho. 

'How is your condition?' Minho asked hesitantly gulping some water. 'I am fine, can't you see I am in a better mood.' Meera said pointing to the dinner table. 'Who did this?' Minho looked puzzled as he took a look opening the lids on utensils. 

'Yeah these two got out of water, cooked and jumped back in' Meera snapped as she put the feed box back with a thud.

'You made it?' Minho asked completely taken aback by the revelation. 'Yeah. Is it that hard to believe?' Meera sighed. 'Are you sure, you don't hate me so much you just want to kill me?' Minho remarked as he sat down. 'Give it here. Why did I even bother learning.' Meera walked to grab the plate from him. 'Kidding kidding, get chopsticks.' Minho laughed as he saw Meera fuming. 

'How is it? Do you like it? I mean is the salt fine? ' Meera asked continuously as Minho took his first bite. 'Did you not taste it while cooking?' Minho asked he finished his mini serving. 'No, I was scared I might get disappointed.' Meera replied. 'Its nice, here.' Minho said feeding her with his chopsticks. 'See its not bad at all. You are lucky this was my first ever dish.' Meera smiled proudly complimenting herself. 'No you are lucky because I am eating your food.' Minho remarked chewing his food to which Meera narrowed her eyes.

'By the way, yesterday Key shi saw me at the match.' Meera informs putting on the seatbelt. 'What? Why are you telling me now?' Minho replied stunned knowing the fact. 'I forgot last night.' Meera replied. 'Did he see your face clearly?' Minho asked as he drove to SM. 'No, I tried my best to not be that visible. Don't worry.' Meera answered as she got down a street before the actual office. 'Key has amazing memory so be careful' Minho advised as he drove away first.

Meera waited for her teammates to show up so they could get in together. She waited for a while but they were running late so she decided to go in before them. As she was about to catch the elevator someone held the door for her. 'Thank-' Meera saw the face and instantly ran the other way. 'Hey what was that?' Key shouted as the lift closed. 'Why are you yelling?' Onew asked from the other side of the phone. 'It wasn't for you Hyung. Kids these days are a headache.' Key commented.

'Se Ra is it okay if I come in?' Meera asked as she peeped into her practice room.

'Heyy Meera. Come in come in.' Se Ra chirped.

'I need a favor from you.' Meera pouted.

'What is it?' Se Ra asked excited.

'Well, can you change my style. I want to look-' Meera fumbled with her words.

'Less boring?' Se Ra completed laughing as Meera glared at her.

'My clothes are not that boring. They are normal' Meera protests.

'Ussh, I get it come now.' Se Ra pulled her.

After going through the girls closet, she picked up a cute striped mini skirt with a white blouse. 'You look great.' Se Ra shrieked as Meera changed into them. 'It's a bit too revealing don't you think?' Meera replied. 'Nooo, you are just not used to them. You are wearing safety shorts.' Se Ra explained as she made Meera sit for make up. 'Thank you but do very minimum okay?' Meera smiled looking at her friend's enthusiasm. 'By the way tell me the truth why are you doing this?' Se Ra asked naughtily raising her eyebrows. 'I actually like someone.' Meera replied trying to blush because she thought telling the actual reason that she was hiding from Key would be a very uncomfortable answer.

'Noona? Is it really you?' Jisung smiled as he saw Meera enter.

'Do I look that different?' Meera asks hesitantly adjusting her hair.

'You look great.' Chenle said giving a thumbs up.

'Why this sudden change? Do you like any of us?' Jaemin asked raising his eyebrows.

'I am not into younger guys.' Meera replied crossing her arms.

'Noona Haechan is worried and wants me to ask if you are older than mark?' Renjun teased.

'Haechan you can keep Mark. I need someone a couple years older. Not even the same age.' Meera assured.

'As if I mind.' Haechan said as he tried to sound cool.

'You are soulmates remember?' Jeno laughed teasing as the others joined.

'Ohh Meeraaa, so which Hyung are you trying to aim for?' Yangyang asked pointing as he heard everything from Jaemin.

'Guys now this is really going far.' Meera sighed as the younger ones teased her continuously as she changed her dressing sense.

'Is it why you learnt cooking with Kun Hyung?. Its okay we will keep it a secret.'Hendery asked giggling.

'Guys no. Your Kun Hyung is my cooking teacher. Stop it.' Meera replied trying to sound annoyed at the cute munchkins.  

'Wow wow what is this?' Ten entered surprised as all the younger ones were gathered with Meera.

'Hyung, look who got a makeover?' Xiaojun said pointing to Meera.

'Ay Meera what's the occasion.' Ten smirked.

'Not you too Ten please.' Meera joined her palms pleading because she knew Ten would take things too further.

'By the way, Interns are having a short meeting. Hyu Jin just went.' Ten informs.

'Okay, I will be back soon.' Meera said running out.

'I know who it is for.' Ten announced and everyone gathered interested.

'Who? Who?' Yangyang asked all excited.

'Hyu Jin, he likes her. Baekhyun hyung told me. Looks like she likes him too.' Ten replied spilling the tea nd everyone was amused.

'Ohhh, that's such a cute pair.' Jaemin clapped.

After the meeting, everyone grabbed lunch to decide about the upcoming event and everyone was assigned with their respective tasks. 'Let me help you' Minho said offering to their intern Minji as she struggled carrying the box of files as she got back in. 'Thanks Minho shi.' Minji bowed gulping some water. 'Is this all the event related?' Minho asked as he placed the files on an adjacent table. 'Yeah.' Minji nodded. 'But its just four of us.' Minho said looking at the pile. 'Thank god, I am not with NCT. Those three interns got all the hard labor. Thrice the piles.' Minji replied opening the files.

As Minho thought of texting Meera, a text popped up before he could even unlock his screen. 'Oh my god, what is this. Can she read my mind.' Minho thought surprised by the sender.

Raho's Noona ~ Minho shi, my bestie is coming Korea.

me ~ That's nice.

Raho's Noona ~ If you don't mind can she stay with us?

me ~ I am fine until you both just don't wreck the house.

Raho's Noona ~ Thank you, you are the best. The best Minho shi. 

me ~ I know that.

Meera excitedly called Poorva and informed her that she could stay with them for the whole week. Poorva planned to visit Meera as she missed her a lot. And as the coming week was the event night Meera's company was organizing she thought it would be the best time so that Poorva could meet her favorite idols.

Minho dropped by NCT's room after dinner to check if Meera was still around. As he found no one he assumed she must have gone home. He quickly checked her Insta. 'NCT fighting~' Meera captioned her story as she stood behind a pile of boxes with her two team interns. 'She is barely visible.' Minho smiled looking how short she looked beside the other two guys. He pulled up his messenger to text her.

Minmee's Dad ~ Reached?

me ~ Yeah. Today was so tiring. When are you coming?

Minmee's Dad ~ We still got practice.

me ~ So bad I was thinking of making your favorite food.

Minmee's Dad ~ How do you know all my favorites?

me ~ Celeb lives are on web, if you forgot.

Minmee's Dad ~ I feel like you are beating me in some contest.

me ~ LOL. I am so happy you don't know any of my favorites :P

Minmee's Dad ~ Tell me now. What's your favorite color I need to know things.

me ~ Pink.

Minmee's Dad ~ Then you should have exchanged the bag.

me ~  I am fine with blue too. 

Minmee's Dad ~ Why? Because its my favorite color?

me ~ Because its color of the year. :P

Minmee's Dad ~ Anyone can guess color, let me guess your favorite ice cream flavour.

me ~ Really? Tell me what is it?

Minmee's Dad ~ Go check the fridge.

Meera smiled as she found a tub of butterscotch ice cream on opening the fridge.

I hope this chapter wasn't much of a disappointment. I just wanted to add few little moments and details so that the next chapters make sense. 

Now half of NCT knows about Hyu Jin's secret too. 

Do you think Key recognized Meera?
