"Here you are." Gauravi said holding her hand out for the boys. Walk to studio was quite tensed as Jin kept staring at her with pointed eyes. As if trying to decipher what she was hiding. Jimin had noticed Gauravi's tensed figure so he stuck to her side chatting about just anything to save her from Jin's questioning. Gauravi was grateful for his help after all she didn't know how she would have avoided Jin. His gaze felt same as of Ben. No wonder they got along well.

"Noona.." Jungkook whined who was being ignored in all this. Gauravi turned to him with smile on her face. Jungkook huffed crossing his arms. She furrowed her eyebrows looking at Jimin for help who rolled his eyes in answer.

"What it is honey?" She asked just to earn another huff from him.  "I can't help you if you don't tell me BunBun."

"BunBun?" Jungkook whispered to himself happy earning another nickname from his noona.

"Jungkook?" Gauravi called for his attention.

"Let that brat be." Jin snapped turning towards her. "Both of you go first. I need to talk with your noona." Jin glared making a shooing motion with his hand.

"But hyun-"

"Hyung-" Both of them clammed their mouths shut when a glare was thrown into their direction.

"Uh- Mr. Jin what do you want to talk about? We can talk about it later. l heard you guys are quite busy these days." Gauravi excused looking at the maknaes with pleading eyes. But both mouthed sorry shaking their head. "I have things to do too. There's this meetin-" Her were cut off as her snapped towards figure that walked out of the studio. Boys followed her line of sight to see Yoongi walking out, who mid stopped when he saw the four pair of eyes staring at him.

"Wae? What happened?" He asked little flustered with all staring. Then his eyes fell on her, mouth opening and closing debating over his words. "Why are you all late? What about the others?" He asked averting his eyes from her, deciding to completely ignore her.

Gauravi clenched her fist as a sharp pain went through her chest. Averting her own eyes from him, she glared at her dirty sneakers. W-what is this? Why? She thought squeezing her eyes shut. It hurts; her nails digged into her palm.

"We aren't that late hyung." Jimin answered.

"Ne, you came early today." Jungkook followed nodded his head at Jimin's statement. "We are on time, a few minutes late maybe. Noona, can I have Ben hyung's number too?" Jungkook suddenly asked turned towards the stiff Gauravi who snapped her head up in attention, before turning it to side again.

"No." She said flatly, surprising everyone at her sudden change in behavior. "I have a meeting to go. Excuse me." She muttered without waiting for reply she was out of there.

"Noona... I didn't mean to upset her." Jungkook whimpered looking at her disappearing back. Jin sighed shaking his head. Patting Jungkook's back he said, "Don't worry, it's not you." His eyes flicking towards to Yoongi and then back to the way she disappeared to. "Let's go in." He said walking in.

Gauravi was back to security room, with her head leaning on the table again. One hand clutching where her heart rests. "Why did it hurt like that?" She whispered to herself. She had somehow came to accept that she was jealous of that beautiful lady. Of course, she was jealous, who wouldn't be? She knew that it was her jealousy that brought her to those weird images that her brain created. "Ughhh! I don't even want to think about it." She groaned clutching her head wanting to get rid of those images. "Why? Why? I knew, I was acting upon my jealous earlier, assuming things but he-he, why did he? So, was it all right? Me assuming things..? I know I was jealous but I hoped that he would explain things upon seeing me but he ignored me." She muttered as her fingers which clutched her head now turned into fist.

"So, it was right? My assumption." She sneered straightening up fist clenched tight.  "All this time, was I being fooled? Of course! I was being fooled! Why would he settle for some brown chick who doesn't know a thing about being lady? Obviously he would want someone pretty and with same interest as him!" She snorted bitterly smacking her fist on table. "I was a fool to think otherwise. That he likes- likes? What the hell?! What are you even thinking Gauravi?!" She suddenly exclaimed standing up, eyes wide in realization.

"You-you didn't come here to see who likes you or who doesn't! The hell with him! Who cares if he likes me or not! I don't like him, I was just into sex. Yes, just sex. I can find anyone for that right? Plenty of fish in the sea!" She laughed crazily when Ha Joon walked into room. "Ha Joon!" She exclaimed with a grin on her face.

"Ma'am?" He asked cautiously, she was doing those crazy eyes again. Same eyes when she was extremely frustrated and crazy idea would cross her mind. He's been in this type situation too many times to not know.

"Would you be interested in having sex with me?"

"M-mwo?!" He choked, eyes wide in shock. He knew about her crazy burst and ideas but they were never this crazy. "Ma-am - I- what are- ma'am-"

"Yah yah yah." Soo Young walked in from behind Ha Joon. "Leave the poor boy from your filthy deeds." He said patting Ha Joon's back in reassurance. "What sort of things goes inside her head nowadays?" He muttered as he walked to the mini fridge. Ha Joon sighed composing himself. He felt like his soul left from his body for a second there. His boss can be unpredictable sometimes. Never know what she's gonna do.

"Ah fuck!" She groaned palming her face. "I'm sorry Joon. Fuck, what was I thinking? I'm really sorry Joon. I wasn't thinking straight, messed up things. God, I don't even know what's going on with me?"

"I knew something bad was going to happen since the day you started skipping around happily. But never thought it could be this bad." Soo Young snorted opening the soda can before taking a sip. "Asking him to have sex with you? What were you even thinking?" Soo Young laughed. Gauravi narrowed her eyes at him. The words 'with you' didn't sit quite with her. The way he said it.

"I accept that I was not thinking straight but what's so wrong with having sex with me?" She asked making Soo Young choke and almost spit out the soda.

"Y-yah." He coughed looking at her and then at Ha Joon who had turned red by now. "Seriously? Why would he have sex with you in first place?" He asked, to which she just scowled at him. "Aish jinja!" He laughed shaking his head. "Don't tell me you don't know that Joon bats for other team. Especially with him being extra cozy with your American friend."

"Hyung!" Ha Joon exclaimed with intention to stop him.

"Wae? Was that supposed to be a secret? Oh, mianhae." He grinned not being sorry at all. Ha Joon sighed glance at Gauravi, flinching he looked away. This is not good, so not good. Ahh hyung can be such a evil sometimes. Ha Joon thought staring at his feet.

"Why everyone doing this to me?" Gauravi muttered making Ha Joon snap his head up. Ha Joon opened his mouth to explain but she cut him off, completely ignoring him. "Why were we not informed about the lady meeting one of the boys?" She asked looking at Soo Young. Ha Joon faltered looking away.

"Lady? Who? Ahh Suran-nim? We were informed about that." Soo Young answered. "Passed through full check up, don't worry." He grinned. Ha Joon kept trying to send message through telepathy, 'Hyung, stop grinning. Ma'am's in not a good mood. It is calm before storm. Don't be her victim.' But Soo Young looked too into himself to understand the current situation.

"So that's what her name is." Gauravi muttered clenching her fist.

"Suran."
