"Can I go home now?" Dal Won yawned, stretching her arm. "Okay, I'll drop you off" Cho Hee put on her coat, looking up to see Dal Won shaking her head "No, It's okay I have to drop by somewhere" Cho Hee frowned "Where are you going?" "To get food" Dal Won said grabbing her coat. "Are you thinking of going out looking like that?" Cho Hee rushed to grab her arm, "You're not going out like this" she shook her head, pulling out a mask and a hat from her bag and hands it to Dal Won "Put these on" "Relax, nothing's gonna happen" Dal Won sighed. "Have you forgotten that you're the most popular rookie right now?" Cho Hee scolded, folding her arm in front of her, Dal Won raised her arm, giving up. "Okay, I'll see you then"
"The street of Hongdae is packed as always" Dal Won smiled, feeling familiar with the street, this is her first time going out by herself ever since her debut. She stopped by a place, inhaling the aroma of the food, "It's been a while since I've been here"
"I'll take the table by the window" The waitress looked anxious, as she smiled at both the customer, "I'm sorry are you two together?" she questioned. "No" Both the lady and the man said simultaneously. "I was first" Dal Won spoke in annoyance, turning to face the man standing at her right. "No, I was first" Ji Hoon turned to face the woman.
"Lady first, have you ever heard of that" Dal Won folded her arm, "First come first serve, ever heard of that?" Ji Hoon snapped back. "There are other seats available, why waste your time arguing with me?" Dal Won protested. "Why don't you take your own advice" he scowled. "Oh how about this" the waitress exclaimed, clasping her hands together.
"What would you like to order?" the waitress smiled, proud of her decision. "Do I have to sit with him?" Dal Won whispered underneath her breath. "If you're not happy, change your seat" he leaned against the chair. "I will take this one," Dal Won said, pointing at the menu. "I will take that one too"
"I'm sorry but we only have one serving of pork cutlet left" the waitress apologize, smiling sheepishly. "I guess you guys will have to share it" the waitress left to place the order.
"Jesus fuck, how do I get out of here" she spoke in English. "You can just leave, the door is opened" Ji Hoon took a sip of water from the cup. "Are you a thief, why go around covering your face like that?" he said, scanning her from head to toe. "Who knows, I'm probably a serial killer on the run" Dal Won rolled her eyes. "At least take off your mask" Ji Hoon sighed.
She took off her mask, not because he wanted her to, it's because she has to eat. The waitress brought out their orders, "Oh, aren't you KUU?" she gasped. "No, I just look a lot like her" Dal Won pulled down her hat, "Excuse me then, enjoy your food" the waitress takes her leave.
They began digging in their food, "This never gets old" she murmured. "You've eaten here before?" he asked, chomping down the food. "Yeah, a couple of times, with someone". He decided to stop questions her as her face turned cold.
she put down her spoon, she signaled the waiter to come, "Can I get the check to please?"
"You're done?" Ji Hoon frowned, "It's was nice meeting you," she said, handing the waitress her card. "I will pay" Ji Hoon protested. "Well I already did" she said, taking back her card the waitress handed. She wore her mask, get up from her seat. and turn to leave. Leaving Ji Hoon to have his meal alone.

"Did you read the news?" Cho Hee said scrolling her phone. "Apparently in the video you posted, Evelyn's voice can be heard in the background" she continued, handing Dal Won the phone, "Evelyn under fire for her rude behavior" Dal Won read it out loud.
"What a bitch, go back home, your time is over" "She can't even sing properly lmao" "Dal Wonnie is so beautiful in the video" "It's must be hard for our Dal Wonnie to be in a room next to her" Cho Hee continued to read the comment, "Unnie, that's enough, it's not our problem" Dal Won sighed, shaking her head.
"Okay okay I'll stop" she paused, handing her the script, "This is a script for the variety show you're going to be starring, you'll be on in with Kay and Evelyn, although I'm not sure if she's going to the set with her recent scandal" "Unnie look at the road, you're driving" Dal Won shook her head, "and stop using your phone" Jimin added.
"Calm down, we're here" she stepped out of the car, rushed to open the car door for Dal Won. "Ahh Director-nim, thank you for having us" Cho Hee greeted. He nodded"I look forward to working with you" he turned to KUU "Your career really took off in such a short period of time" she smiled, bowing down "Thank you, Director-nim"
"Hello director-nim" Evelyn beamed, greeting him "It's been a while" she bowed. "Yeah" he smiled sheepishly. "Hello Sunbaenim" KUU greeted, "I'm a big fan" she grinned.
Evelyn hesitated "Thank you my hoobae" she forced a smile. 'Should I just slap her?' Evelyn thought to herself. How dare this kid talk to her, when she was the reason her career is effected.
