Episode 25

1st September 2017, Friday

Days have passed by since Min-ji and Jungwoo told the others that they were officially dating. Min-ji and Jungwoo ended up telling Ji-yoo and Ji-yoo was so happy to hear about that news. Today, Jungwoo is in his office as usual. He's been thinking a lot these days. Especially cause it's almost Min-ji's birthday. Jungwoo wants to ask Min-ji out for their first date since they never got a hance to have their first date cause of work. Since today is Friday, tomorrow's going to be the weekend. Jungwoo has been thinking about it and he really does want to come up to her and ask her out but he just doesn't know how to say it to her. Believe it or not, Min-ji is Jungwoo's first girlfriend especially cause in the singing business that Jungwoo is working in, he's actually not allowed to date anyone until his contract is expired so this was Jungwoo's first time.

Jungwoo was done with all his work and now it's lunch time. He got out of his office and got in to the elevator. After a while in the elevator, he got out of the elevator and walked to the cafeteria. He ordered some food and drinks for him to eat and he sat on his chair. "Jungwoo!" someone yelled. Jungwoo looked at the person who called him and turns out it was just Dong-hyun. "Mind if i sit with you?" Dong-hyun asked. Jungwoo just shook his head and Dong-hyun sat beside Jungwoo while eating his food. "How are you?" Dong-hyun asked. "Hm?" Jungwoo said who didn't pay attention to what Dong-hyun was saying. "Hm... you seem more distracted then usual, what's wrong?" Dong-hyun asked. "Ah.. it's nothing, there's just tons of things that i'm thinking about now." Jungwoo said while smiling a bit. "Hm... okay then, if you say so." Dong-hyun said. "How are you?" Dong-hyun asked again. "I'm fine, as always. You?" Jungwoo asked. "Same, oh yeah, later after lunch, we have a meeting." Dong-hyun said. "Huh?" Jungwoo asked who didn't know anything about the meeting that Dong-hyun mention. "Hm.. Mr. Kim hasn't told you huh?" Dong-hyun asked and Jungwoo shook his head. "Well, i get it if you don't know cause Mr. Kim just made the meeting today without telling us but the meeting is like a normal meeting as always, he's just informing us about our comeback albums and stuff. That's so far what i know, i mean i don't really know but let's just see later." Dong-hyung said. "Yea, i hope it's just about our comeback albums and stuff." Jungwoo said. "Oh yea, how's your movie doing?" Dong-hyun asked. "Oh, everything was fine, and since in a couple of days, they will be releasing the season finale, i'm done with my job in acting in that movie. Everything went according to plan." Jungwoo said. "Aren't you exhausted?" Dong-hyun asked. "Hm?" Jungwoo said who was confused. "I mean, aren't you exhausted in all your schedules and stuff? I mean being an idol who's famous all around the world is so tiring for me and the others, putting on more weight towards our schedules like acting and stuff, isn't that exhausting?" Dong-hyun said. "Well, if i said no, i won't be completely honest." Jungwoo said. "If you think of it in my perspective, it's both exhausting and fun. I love acting, i always loved acting since i was little, so it's not really exhausting for me cause i enjoy doing it. Our schedules aren't that packed up either, yes sometimes we have packed up schedules to, but i try my best to not get in any contact to producers so that i can focus more to my singing carrier during those packed up schedules. Once you get used to it, you'll understand how it feels like." Jungwoo said. Dong-hyun smiled and pat Jungwoo's shoulder. "You're really strong you know? All that i know is that your stronger then all of us, keep it up okay" Dong-hyun said. Jungwoo smiled then nodded.

Lunch time was over and Jungwoo went to the meeting room. "Excuse me." Jungwoo said and he got in the meeting room and sat on his seat. The others came and the meeting started. "Good afternoon everyone, you guys must be wondering why am i making a meeting so sudden, well as always, i'm going to inform you guys about your schedules and stuff." Mr. Kim said. "As you guys know, you are preparing for your comeback album right, well turns out fans want you guys to do a comeback performance including a concert." Mr. Kim said. Jungwoo was shocked and looked at Mr. Kim. "Yes, we will have some of our concert overseas." Mr. Kim said who knew what Jungwoo was about to ask that question. Jungwoo looked down, he was still in shocked about it. Yes, he did enjoy reuniting with his fans and having concerts. He did enjoy going overseas to have concerts and having some kind of vacation for him. But now he's in a relationship with someone, and he doesn't want to let go of that relationship. "We're going to have the concerts in mid of September until mid December or even mid January." Mr. Kim said. "Since we will be releasing the comeback album next week, we have to prepare as fast as we can for a concert." Mr. Kim added.

Time passed by, the meeting was over a couple of hours ago and Jungwoo is leaving the office cause it was time for him to go home. He got in his car and lets out a big sigh. He was so shocked and a bit frustrated that he had to go overseas just so he can have a concert and stuff. Not to mention he wants to celebrate Min-ji's birthday and have their first date. He can't even ask her out on a fate, how is he suppose to tell her about his schedules overseas? Jungwoo was completely hopeless at this point. But he decided that he has to use up this time that he had left to spend it with Min-ji while he's still not busy. His phone rang, he turned on his phone and someone texted him, he looked at the ID of the person who texted him and it was Min-ji. She told him not to pick her up today cause she's going to go home late especially cause there's still lots to do. Jungwoo replied with a thumbs up emoji and decides to drive straight to Min-ji's house since he knows that Daehan and Aerum must be baby sitting Ji-yoo. He arrived at Min-ji's house and he stayed in his car for a while to rest for a while.

Meanwhile, Daehan was in the living room with Ji-yoo. Ji-yoo was sleeping beside Daehan on the sofa with his head leaning on Daehan's shoulders. Aerum wasn't there cause she had to finish her work at her office. Daehan and Ji-yoo just finished watching a movie, Daehan turned off the TV then he looked at Ji-yoo. He smiled then leaned beside Ji-yoo. He was about to sleep when he heard the doorbell rang. "Coming!" Daehan yelled. "Who the hell is visiting Min-ji's house this late?" Daehan said to himself. Daehan opened the door and was shocked to see Jungwoo at the doorstep. "Jungwoo? Hi" Daehan said. "Hey." Jungwoo said while smiling. "Can i come in?" Jungwoo asked. "Sure." Daehan said. Jungwoo got in the house and closed the door. He followed Daehan who was walking to the kitchen. "What brings you here? It's so late now." Daehan said. "Nothing, i just wanted to talk to you and Aerum about something, maybe you guys could give me some advice." Jungwoo said. "Well, i'm here but Aerum isn't, she has some work that she has to do so i'm the only one who's available to take care of Ji-yoo." Daehan said. "Oh, i see." Jungwoo said. "You want some snacks?" Daehan asked. "Sure." Jungwoo said. Daehan opened the fridge then sighed. "Why do i even think that their will be some junk food inside the fridge?" Daehan mumbled to himself. "Sorry, there's only fruits in the fridge and other healthy foods too, you know that the Min-ji we know wants to eat healthy and teach her son to eat healthy like her too." Daehan said. Jungwoo laughed and nodded. "I understand, as far as i know, she would force me to dump my junk food in middle school then replaced it with a low calorie snack." Jungwoo said and Daehan laughed too. "Well, she does have some snacks but all of it is low calories." Daehan said. Daehan opened one of the cabinets and found a jar full of pretzels. "This is the only snack that i like though it's healthy and low calories, but i think you might like it too." Daehan said. Jungwoo smiled and nodded. Suddenly, there was something that feel in the living room, Daehan and Jungwoo turned their heads and looked at the source of the sound. "Hey, you prepare the pretzels and i'll check who's makign that sound okay." Daehan said. Jungwoo nodded and Daehan left the kitcen and walked to the living room. Daehan opened one of the cabinets and took out a big bowl. He filled up the bowl with the pretzels then he closed the jar and put it back where it came from. "Jungwoo! Can you get me the beers that are in the mini fridge?!" Daehan asked. "Okay!" Jungwoo said. Jungwoo took both of the beers that was in the mini fridge and walked to the living room with the pretzels and beer. "What was that noise last time?" Jungwoo asked while putting the beer and pretzels on the table. "It was Ji-yoo, you know yourself that he has a habit of throwing something when he's sleeping and he threw on of the cushions and since his toys were here, it fell making the noise that we heard." Daehan said. "Oh.." Jungwoo said while nodding. Daehan sat on the sofa and Jungwoo sat beside him. "I taught that Min-ji doesn't drink alcohol." Jungwoo said. "She doesn't drink alcohol and it's better if she never drinks alcohol. You know yourself after the first sips of alcohol she will get drunk then vomit out all of the alcohol she consumed. You know yourself that she hates the taste of alcohol." Daehan said. Jungwoo laughed and nodded. "Then, why did she put beer in the mini fridge?" Jungwoo asked. "Well, it's not hers actually, it's mine, i bought it for me and Aerum to drink after Ji-yoo was asleep but because she was busy, i just put it in the mini fridge to let it cool down. I was planning to drink it when Ji-yoo was asleep but we ended up watching a movie and i totally forgot that i put 2 cans of beer inside the mini fridge." Daehan said. "Oh, i see" Jungwoo said. Daehan picked up both of the cans and gave on to Jungwoo. "Here." Daehan said. "Thanks." Jungwoo said. "So what did you want to tell me and Aerum?" Daehan asked. "Well, you know yourself that me and Min-ji are an official couple, and i wanted to ask her out tomorrow for our first date. It's just that i don't know how to do it. Can you help me?" Jungwoo asked. "Well, if it was from my experience of dating, i just go my own way. I asked out Aerum and told her that i will pick her up then we just had fun. You just have to go your own way. Min-ji wouldn't judge at all, we both know that." Daehan said and Jungwoo nodded. "Well, Min-ji wouldn't be as busy as today since tomorrow's the weekends so it'll be fine if you ask her out tomorrow. You don't need to bring her to a fancy place since Min-ji really doesn't care about the place where you'll be taking her. At least she has fun. So about the location, that's your decision." Daehan said. Jungwoo nodded and thanked Daehan for telling him what to do. "When does Min-ji arrive at work?" Jungwoo asked. "Well, if it's in the weekend usually her office will open at 8 or 9 but since she likes to go there early, she will come there at 6 or 7." Daehan said. "Oh, okay then." Jungwoo said.

They both had a good time, Jungwoo decided to just tell the others about his schedule another time since it was to late for him to think and discuss about that. After that, Jungwoo left and thanked Daehan for giving him some advice then he went to his house and got some sleep.
