 After few days as the event was approaching closer all the interns were becoming busier by every passing second. As Minho comes back home, he notices it empty and decides to check on Meera.

me ~ Why aren't you home yet? It's 11 already.

Raho's Noona ~ I am still at main office. Lots of work pending.

me ~ Is everyone there?

Raho's Noona ~ Yeah. Did you have dinner?

me ~ Yes. Can't you come home and work.

Raho's Noona ~ We can't take confidential files out.

me ~ Isn't Poorva's flight early morning tomorrow?

Raho's Noona ~ I will go directly from office.

me ~ I will come pick you.

Raho's Noona ~ No go sleep. You must be tired. 

me ~ I am not tired.

Raho's Noona ~ You are. I saw how much you were sweating in the practice room.

me ~ What? When did you see me?

Raho's Noona ~ I have eyes on you Minho shi. Good night.

'Thank god its Friday tomorrow.' Minji yawned as they were on the brink of finishing. 'It's still working day for us. What you happy for?' Meera replied adjusting her glasses. 'Yeah but no need to bother looking pretty since we aren't going to SM' Minji explained. 'You look amazing Minji.' Meera assured. 

'Guys Is it fine if we leave first?' Hiwon asked holding his girlfriend Ah rin's hand. All of them gave a thumbs up. 'Huh couples get a free pass. I need a girlfriend too.' Taewoo commented fiddling with his computer. 'We can leave too, its just few pages.' Hyu Jin replied. 'I am done guys.' Meera informed stretching her arms. 

'See you afternoon.' Minji waved. Meera walked out of their conference room and messaged Poorva asking if her flight was on time or not. 'Dude, you should drop her. Go spend time with her.' Minji whispered to Hyu Jin. 'How do you?' Hyu Jin asked shocked. 'Well sorry for eavesdropping but I heard Taemin shi teasing you the other day.' Minji confessed. 'She might know from someone else before I ask her out. This is getting crazy.' Hyu Jin scratched his head.

'Ask her out for the event. Later you can ask her if she wants to go out with you.' Minji suggests. 'That sounds right. Thanks girls give good advice.' Hyu Jin nods agreeing. 'No problem, now go after her.' Minji pushes his chair. Hyu Jin grabs his bag and leaves. 'Why is he leaving too?' Taewoo fumes confused. 'Don't be so annoyed lets mind our work.' Minji replies getting back to her files.

Poorva ~ It's on time. I am so excited to see you.....

me ~ Me too babe. I missed you so much. 

Meera walks a little to check if any taxis were around when she hears a car honk. 'Get in fast, aren't you cold?' Minho shouts opening the car window. 

'Why are you here?' Meera asks surprised. 

'To go pick up Poorva.' Minho informs as he gestures her to get in. 

'I told you it wasn't necessary, I would have went alone.' Meera replies shutting the door. 

'Its okay, I am doing it for my fan.' Minho smiles.

'My neck hurt so much, all night.' Meera complains moving her neck clockwise.

'Sleep for a while, it will take an hour to reach.' Minho replied.

'Is it okay if I sleep? I mean they say driver feels sleepy if the passengers are sleeping around him.' Meera explains.

'I will be more concentrated if you are sleeping. Its noisy otherwise.' Minho laughs as Meera hits his arm lightly at the comment.

'Good night.' Meera says dozing off on the passenger seat.

As the car halts, Meera wakes up to a coat wrapped around her body. She takes a look at the adjacent seat but she finds it empty. As she looks out the window she finds a flower shop and Minho with his mask waves to her and gestures to stay in. 

She pulls the coat closer as it was warm and cozy to be inside it. The door opens and Minho gives her a small yet pretty bouquet. 

'How are they?' Minho asks buckling up his belt. 

'Its so cute.' Meera smiles adoring them. 

'Will Poorva like them?' Minho continues with the question.

 'What?' Meera looks at him surprised. 

'Yeah, we are receiving a guest aren't we? Do you forget things in your sleep?' Minho states as he takes a right turn. 

'Yeah she might like them.' Meera replies coming out of her bubble as she places the flowers on the dashboard. She pulls down the coat and folds it. 

'We are here.' Minho says as they park. 

'You should stay inside.' Meera pleads getting down first. 

'Chill there aren't many people this early.' Minho replies as he puts on his black baseball cap. They wait a few minutes and then Poorva arrives with her baggage.

 'Pooh!!' Meera calls out to catch her attention. 'Meeraaa' Poorva runs in to hug her. 

'I am so happy you are here.' Meera hugs her back. 

'You are becoming thin, aren't you eating properly baby?' Poorva comments as she lightly lifts her. 

'I am eating five times a day.' Meera replies back. 

Poorva runs back to grab her luggage which she left behind because she ran as soon as she saw Meera. 

'This is for you.' Minho gives her the bouquet. 

'Minnn-' Poorva yells in excitement but Meera muffles her scream with her hand on Poorva's mouth. 

'Don't yell here.' Meera hisses into her ears. 

As soon as they get into the car Poorva starts shrieking with excitement in her back seat. 

'Nice to finally meet you Poorva.' Minho gives a handshake. 

'Omg is it even real?' Poorva smiles receiving it. 

'You can pinch her if you feel its a dream.' Minho points at Meera. 

'Why me? You get pinched.' Meera pinches him instead.

 'Yaaa' Poorva hits Meera to defend him. 

'What? Me or Him? Chose now!!' Meera states. 

'Him over you anytime.' Poorva giggles as she and Minho hi-fi each other. 

'Unbelievable, I just want to throw you out the car right now.' Meera fumes at the answer.

 'How can you throw her out, I am the owner of this car.' Minho comments and Poorva starts laughing again. 

'Seriously? Fine suit yourself you both.' Meera pouts looking out the window. 

'Aye can't even take a joke.' Minho hits her lap playfully. 

'Awww my baby, I am joking okay. Chill.' Poorva replies patting Meera's head.

'I will make it. She is my bestie.' Meera says picking up the breakfast pan.

'I am worried you might actually kill her.' Minho comments as he pulls the pan from her hand. 

'I am going to show her my cooking skills, leave it.' Meera replies taking it back from him. 

'You made breakfast once, and think you're a chef?' Minho said glaring.

'Heyy, you said it was good.' Meera mentioned gripping her pan handle with more pressure. 

'I did not want to ruin your mood.' Minho laughs pulling the other end of the pan.

'Leave it Minho shi, why are you arguing first thing in the morning.' Meera says pulling it on her side with all her might. 

'I am being easy on you, don't force me to use my strength.' Minho replied as she did not let it go.

'I am not scared of you.' Meera said sticking her tongue out.

Minho pulled it with one blow and the pan landed on the floor but with the force Meera fell on his chest. Banging her nose into him. Minho giggled as she held her nose wincing in pain. 'It really hurts.' Meera said massaging her nose. 'See I warned you. That's what happens when you don't listen.' Minho said placing the pan on the stove. 

Meera picked up the fish feed and went and sat next to the fish pot. Minho finished cooking the breakfast in minutes and made the table. 'Come eat.' Minho announced to Meera as Poorva was still in the bathroom taking a shower.

'No, I won't.' Meera replied not looking at him. 

'Why are you like this today?' Minho asks as he sits on an adjacent sofa arm panel. 

'Minmee your dad is very enthusiastic today. Obviously he would be since now there is a girl to fangirl over him' Meera spoke looking at the fish. 

'Raho tell your noona she has a crappy personality.' Minho says from behind. 

'I have crappy personality? Why because I don't fangirl you? Huh?' Meera said nudging his shoulder. 'Stop it.' Minho laughed as she fumed. 

'I won't. First you don't let me show my cooking to her, then you break my nose. Of course I was annoyed. Does that mean I have a crappy personality?' Meera inches closer to him.

 As a final blow she smiles and pushes him down the sofa arm but to her surprise Minho grabs her along.

As his back hits the sofa, Meera falls into him with a force. Minho's heart starts beating at an increased speed as she lifts her head slowly away from his as her hair brushes his face. His lips parted at the sight. For a second Meera could not stop staring at him as he placed a hand on her waist, and the sound of his heartbeat beneath her skin. She quickly gets up with his support and Minho gets up slowly turning away to avoid facing her. 

'Sorry about that-' Meera says clearing her throat and Minho simply nods. 'You overworked this week, that's why you are just cranky.' Minho justifies. 'Yes, that's it.' Meera replies trying not to sound awkward. 'Have your breakfast. I am going to shower.' Minho says walking into his room. Meera sits on the sofa with a thump. 'For a moment I thought I would die.' Meera sighs as she fans her cheeks. She closes her eyes to relax but all she could think of was his face, close to hers.   

'Everything okay?' Poorva walks out from Meera's bedroom. 'Yeah, yeah.' Meera gets up panicking trying to fix her thoughts. 'When did you last wash your hair?' Poorva said brushing her hand through Meera's hair. 'I was busy with work.' Meera replies as Poorva smells it. 'Wait does it stink?' Meera asks shocked. Poorva nodded as she made Meera smell it. 

'Ahhhh, this is so horrible. He must have been disgusted.' Meera sighs applying loads of shampoo.

'It was so obvious. Why did I even pull her.' Minho scratched his hair as the water droplets hit him. 'She was so uncomfortable after that. Oh my god did she feel my heartbeat. What do I do now?. I should just act cool. There is no other way.' Minho thought as the cool water calmed his heated up body.

'How was the breakfast?' Minho asked as Poorva sat on the sofa clicking some selfies. 'It was good thank you.' Poorva replies as Minho sits on the opposite couch. 

'Why is she not coming out? Did I just creep her out. What if she leaves the house this time.' Minho thought to himself as Poorva talked about something. 

'Are you even listening?' Poorva waved her hand. 'Yes, I was.' Minho nods. 'What was I saying?' Poorva asks trying to test him. 'Pulling pranks on Meera.' Minho made a random guess with what words he heard while still thinking about Meera.

'Act surprised and then look at her okay?' Poorva explains and Minho complies as they devise a plan to annoy Meera. 'Oh my god..' Minho reacts surprised as Meera enters the living room. 'She did that?' Minho continues looking at her in shock. 

'What did you just tell him?' Meera asks patting her wet hair. 

'Maybe one of your secret...' Poorva laughs as Meera's face expression changes.

'You brat come here. Which secret did you tell him.' Meera yells chasing her around.

'Go have breakfast. Its nice.' Poorva says closing the bedroom door behind them.

'I am asking one last time.Was my breakfast really bad?' Meera said pulling her chair to the table.

'I was just joking.' Minho smiles relaxed as she was fine like before.
