Chapter 47

"We're here"

Joshua announces, waking Nara from her daydream. She takes off her seatbelt and quickly follows Joshua to get out of the car. She walks beside him, take a look at the place. She stops.

"Pledis?"

She looks at Joshua, but he's already in front of the door. She immediately catches up, although a little bit struggling with her heels. Joshua holds the door for her, then walks inside with her.

"Why are we here?" she asks him.

He looks at her and chuckles. "Why are you covering your face?" he tries to remove her hands, but she smacks it.

"This is embarassing. Everyone are looking at us" she shout-whispers to him.

He just shakes his head and gets in the lift. She quickly follows and when she is inside then she sighs.

"Josh, why are we here?" she looks at him, whining.

"Be patient, sweetheart" he pats her head, chuckling when she pouts.

Then there is a 'ding', meaning they already arrive. He lets her walks first, then silently, takes a cloth inside his pocket.

"Akh!"

She startles and tries to open her eyes.

"Calm down. It's me" he tells her and makes sure he didn't tie the cloth too tight.

She is little bit calm. "What are you doing?!" she can't help but raises her voice.

"Relax. Just hold my hand and follow me"

She immediately wraps her hand on his arm, while the other hand holds her dress so she won't step on it.

Joshua guides her slowly, keeps her hands on his arm so she won't scared. When they arrive, he opens the door and takes her inside. He brings her a little bit far from the door.

"We're here" he tells her, trying to let go of her hands from his arm, but she holds tighter. "Don't worry" he tries to tell her gently.

Slowly, she lets go off his arm. He steps back slowly and quietly, then closes the door when he's outside.

It's silent and it creeps her out. "Hello? Josh?" she whispers.

When she didn't get replies, her heartbeat is getting faster and she bites her bottom lips. "Josh? Where are-"

She feels her tie is being removed. When it falls, she slowly opens her eyes then turns at her back. She looks up and almost freaks out. Her eyes widens and she stops thinking.

They just stare at each other, speechless. She blinks and clears her throat to break the silent. It makes the guy in front of her snaps from his thought.

"W-Why are you here?" she asks him while looking at the floor, because he just stares at her up and down.

Wonwoo smirks. "You look pretty"

She bites inside her cheeks, holds back the smile. But she knows her blood is rushing to her cheek.

"W-Well.. You look handsome too" she replies shyly.

She looks at him. Black shoes, black shirt, and a suit which almost matching with her blue gown that wraps his body perfectly.

He smiles and she can't help but smiles too.

"Thank you for coming"

"Well, I didn't have a choice" she shrugs her shoulders.

"That.. I agree" he chuckles.

She rolls her eyes, then notices a dining table behind him. She just realizes that it's their practice room.

"Come on" he offers a hand, and she gladly takes it.

Wonwoo brings her to the table, not too far from the door. He pulls the chair for her, pushes back after she sat. She thanks him and he walks to his seat.

Nara looks at the table. There are little flowers in a vase, a little candle in the middle, two glasses of water, and utensils at each of their side in front of them, with black cloth as the cover for the table. Not too fancy, but still pretty.

"So.. What is this about?" she looks at him.

"Dinner?" he replies and she just rolls her eyes. "Special dinner, for a special person" he smiles.

She doesn't look at him, feeling hot suddenly. They shouldn't put blush on if my cheeks are already red enough. "Cheesy" she scrunches her nose.

He chuckles. Suddenly, the door is open. Someone enters, bringing two plates on a tray for them. She looks closely and surprised.

"Mingyu?!"

Mingyu smiles while putting each plates in front of them. "This is your appetizers. The main course will be ready in few minutes. Enjoy it" he bows a little then walks to the door to leave.

"Let's eat" he tells her and takes his spoon.

She looks at the plate. Dumpling soup. He notices that she hesitates to eat.

"Don't worry. The food are suitable for us" he smiles.

She nods. No pork. No seafood. "Thank you" she smiles and takes her spoon.

She tastes the broth first, and her eyes widens. "Wah.." she exclaims quietly.

"You like it?" he asks. She nods quickly. "I purposely asked Mingyu to cook for tonight"

"He made the dumplings?" she asks, surprised.

"If he made the dumplings, then it will finish next month, or never" he laughs.

She pouts. "It's still good. Yeokshi, Chef Mingyu" she appreciates it.

Then they eat their food peacefully. Doesn't took long for them to finish it, considering it's in small portion.

Then it's completely silent. Nara doesn't know what to say and Wonwoo is too shy to talk.

No time for shy, Wonwoo.

"So, what did you do today?" he tries to start the conversation.

"Umm.. I woke up, ate breakfast, watched drama series with some of the members, slept, then became your victim"

He smirks. "Victim?"

She nods. "Yeah. You always kidnap me. I should sue you for your crimes" she tries to sound serious.

"I think there is a bigger mistake than that"

She frowns. "What?"

"I will be glad to be arrested...." she looks at him seriously. ".... for stealing your heart"

She almost chokes on air. She just blinks, then looks down. Okay. This is too much. She brings her palms to cover her face. Her cheeks are definitely burning right now.

He smirks, satisfied to seeing her reaction. Then the door is open again, revealing Mingyu with two new plates. He puts the new plates and takes the empty ones. He notices Nara.

"Noona, are you okay?"

Nara nods, still covering her face.

Mingyu looks at his hyung and Wonwoo smiles. He narrows his eyes at him, then leaves them.

After the door closed, Wonwoo tries to removes her hands from her face.

"Main courses are here"

Nara glares at him. Thankfully, her cheeks are back to normal. Then she takes her knife and fork to slice her steak.

He chuckles. "Cute". Then he does the same.
