"So, are we finally doing it noona?" Keon asked the moment we went out the place. I rolled my eyes. I smacked him. 

"What do you mean doing it? Yah! Can you at least use right words properly Keon?" I exclaimed. He laughed so hard. 

"What's wrong with what I said noona? But hey, are you serious about earlier? You want to do it?" I glared at him.

"Alright, we're doing it. Anyways, I'm excited." he said. I laughed. 

"And why would you be?" I asked. He just shrugged. I saw Zia outside the practice room. Taking selfies. "Cute." I heard Keon beside me. I smirked and looked at him. 

"You like Zia don't you?" I asked. He shook his head many times and looked away. 

"Ani. I don't." he said, the two of you are in denial huh? 

"Okay, as you say so." I said and we continued walking. 

"Unnie! What took you so long?" she then noticed Keon beside me. "Oh! Annyeonghasseyo sunbaenim! I didn't noticed you earlier." she said. I smiled. Didn't notice huh? Who are you kidding?

"Noona, don't call me sunbaenim. You're still older than me, we're sorry we're late." Keon said softly. I bet he's shy. I chuckled. 

"Therese is down there. Sorry!" I said and then faced Keon. "You go now Keon, I'll text you later!" I said and smiled at him. He ruffles my hair and nodded. Wait is this part of his acting? Is it because Zia's here?

"Arrasseo, text me if something's wrong okay? I'm going." he then said and hold my hands. I chuckled. A great actor. I want to punch him.

I looked at Zia who's now staring at us. The moment her eyes landed on me she smiled. But her eyes are not. Zia-ssi. You'll know soon. Just hang in there. 

"Unnie, you two look good together, a-are you sure you t-two a-are not dating?" she asked. I just smiled and shrugged. 

"Wait, unnie, what's with the shrug?" she asked and we went inside. 

"You'll know soon Zia-ssi." I said and the members look at us. We then started practicing. We finished at 6 in the evening and went to the office to have a dinner with PD-nim and DAWN sunbae.

"What's with today? Why the sudden company dinner?" I heard Jinny asked. I just shrugged. I don't know what's today.

We directly went to the office and hear a bark of a dog. My eyes widened. Is that? The dog barked and went to me.

"Cooper!" I exclaimed and held Cooper in my arms. I missed this baby so much.

"How is my baby huh?" I ask him. The dog keeps on barking and I chuckled. I heard someone cleared throat and I realized what I have been saying. What the hell Era. What the hell. You're doomed! I looked around and saw the boys looking at me and Cooper. And Therese? Again? I put Cooper down and fix myself.

"Annyeonghasseyo sunbaenim!" I greeted. I looked at my friends. They're all smiling and smirking at the same time.

"Annyeonghasseyo sunbae! Where's PD-nim?" Hannah unnie asked and we sat down.

"Still not here. Anyways, Era-ssi! How come you know Cooper?" Max sunbae asked.

"Ah, I saw him wandering around t-he other day oppa, by the way who's the owner of the dog?" I asked.

"Kayden," Jake sunbae replied. I just nodded and sat down beside Keon. I saw him smirked. I punched his arms and glared at him at the same time.

"PD-nim said we'll order foods now. What do you want girls?" Justin sunbae asked. I looked at Keon and he looked at me too.

"What do you want?" He asked me.

"What's yours is mine also, I don't have the energy to look up to foods." I said. We're in front of Therese and Kayden! For goodness sake!

"Okay." He said and smiled. Minutes later, PD-nim came in saying that we'll having a meeting. But he went out and said he'll be back. I was scrolling to my phone when Max sunbae break the silence. We all look at him.

"Are you guys dating?" He asked us. I looked at him and then looked at Keon. Asking for help.

"Hyung, what kind of question is that?" Keon asked.

"You two seem close, you always go to her everytime we have free time. So, you guys dating?" He asked once again. I was about to say no but Keon put his hands on my shoulders.

"We're still trying to figure out things hyung, and I hope you'll accept us, if ever we dated." I want to punch Keon! What the hell is he saying?!

"Is that true Era?" Eros asked. I nodded immediately and smiled.

"Okay, but you two have to be careful okay? Era is just starting her career, we can't let other people drag them just because one of us are dating. Okay?" Jake sunbae said. We all nodded.

I go back to scrolling my phone. I texted Keon and he chuckled. I looked at him and glared.

me

what the hell is wrong with you?

keon

nothing's wrong, im just doing my job noona

I didn't reply and continue to scroll.

"Cooper come here!" Kayden said and cooper went to him. He licks Kayden's face and he chuckled.

"Up until now it's still a mystery who gave you that dog. Cooper is getting big." Justin oppa said as he chuckled. I listen to them intently. The girls on the other hand also join the conversation.

"Really oppa? I thought you bought that. So it's a gift?" Zia asked. He nodded.

"Yeah, a gift from someone I want to forget." Ouch.

"Oh, a girl gave you that? Your girlfriend? But you never had a girlfriend." Therese asked and ruffled Cooper's hair.

"Oh, are we talking about your love life in here Kayden-ah?" Max sunbae teased. They all laughed.

"But someone you want to forget? Who could that be?" Keon asked. Kayden looked at him intently.

"You don't need to know," he said. I looked at Keon and was shocked to see his reaction. He was smirking!

"Can I be your mommy huh?" I hold my phone tightly. What is she saying?!

"No!" I exclaimed. They all looked at me.

"Why not?" Therese asked.

"No, I mean I'm watching a video in here. People were jumping off the clip. It's just an expression. Sorry." I explained and looked at Keon who's now lifting his eyebrows while smirking. I glared at him.

My friends were giggling, I glared at them and they just shook their heads.

"Oh, I thought you don't want me to be Cooper's mom. That would be nice! Right Kayden?" Therese said and looked at him.

"No," he coldly said. His members looked away. I saw Eros who's holding back his laugh.

"Why?" Therese pouted. Girl, stop that.

"She's waiting for her mom to come home, we're waiting for her." He said in a low voice.

"Whooooo!" His members were cheering and Keon beside me is smiling. My friends looked at me, smiling.

"We don't need new one, we just need her to come back."

And with that, I felt my world stop. Kayden Kim, what are you doing to me?
