"Leah!!!"

"Minjae!!!" I shout through my mic.

"Killing my ears..."

I laugh, "How are you?"

"I'm great! Did you remember what today was?" He asked.

"Your weird surprise— yup I remember. Are you going to tell me now?"

"Tempted..."

"Minjae..." I warned.

He chuckles, "No, look up Lin Minjae in Tempted..."

"Alright...?" I hesitated. I type in the words in the search bar.

Searching for Tempted Lin Min-Jae...

"Oh my god, Minjae!" I shout after reading the search results

"Oh my god, Minjae!" I shout after reading the search results.

"I know!" He says with just as much enthusiasm as I had.

"This is crazy..." I said clicking on a Wikipedia site, one all about Lin Min-Jae.

"I know right—"

"I can't believe you didn't tell me!"

"H-Huh?"

"That you're practically famous... No—you are famous!" I say when I look through his Wikipedia. I laugh, "No wonder you're busy so much!"

"Oh haha, yeah. I thought you were mad for a second."

"What? Hah no! Why would I be mad?"

"Because I didn't tell you...?" He said a bit nervously.

I laugh, "I'm not mad at all! If I was a famous actor, I wouldn't have told anyone about it either. Really, don't worry about it." I said genuinely. "So what ya been up to?"

"Lots and lots or promoting," He said with a chuckle, finally getting rid of his uneasiness.

"I bet," I laugh with him.

"What about you?" He asks.

"Nothing really, just the usual— work and school and more work and more school," I said, masking the tiredness of my voice.

"You feeling okay?"

"I'm great, are you feeling okay?" I playfully asked.

"Sure am!" Minjae hooted. "Oh—"

"What?" I questioned, wondering what's got him shouting.

"How are you and Taehyung?" He teased. The tone normally accompanied by a smirk and wiggling eyebrows.

"Good I guess..." I say unsure of what he really wanted as an answer. "We still talk every day, if that's what you're asking..."

"E-Every day?!" He said, feigning shock. "How come we don't talk every day...?"

"Mmm—Probably because you're always too busy to play. I don't even have your number—"

"So you have his number?!" He cuts me off excitedly.

"I-I do, yes..."

"Look at you~ Growing up and getting yourself a man~"

"My god Minjae... It's not even like that. We just figured it'd be easier to talk if we had each other's phone numbers." I told him. "I mean that's what I assume," I mumble, then hope he didn't hear it.

"You assume?" He inquires. Ugh, curse you good quality microphone and Minjae's godly hearing...

"Uh yeah... I assume that's why he wanted my number..."

Minjae's gasps fill my ears. "He asked you?!"

"Well duh! I don't have the balls to ask for a hot guys number," I confess.

"Oh my god! You're fūcking whipped!"

I sigh and curse myself for not having a filter. "I am not whipped..." I mutter. "Being whipped would imply that we were together... Which we are not, therefore I am not." I retort.

"Mmm sure~" He teased.

"You're ridiculous," I laugh at him.

"I suppose so... But seriously, I'm glad you guys are close."

"Me too," I mutter. "Wait does Tae know you're an actor?"

"Tae?!" He giddily screamed, to which I just sigh. "You guys even have cute nicknames for each other... Oh my lord just get together already."

"It's not even like that, and for all you know—I'm the only one who has a nickname for him..." I lied.

"Not true~ Me and 'TaeTae' hang out sometimes. I know all about it Liora~"

"Alright—but seriously, does he know too?"

"Yeah, he's known for a while."

"Ah," I mumble and we go on to play a few rounds of SW.

T a e h y u n g.

Manager Sejin emerges from the doors into the practice room, more waters in hand, along with the rest of our managers. We all bow in acknowledgment and turn our attention to them.

"Thank you hyung," I said as Sejin handed me a water. He nods in return.

"I also came to tell you all of the upcoming schedules..." He began after handing out all of the waters. "As you all know, the comeback is coming soon. So we will be taking these next few weeks filming all the music videos." He announces.

"And because Singularity will be the comeback trailer, we'll start shooting it in two days. Taehyung," He directs to me. "Make sure you're ready for it."

"Of course," I nod to him.

"After we finish Singularity, which shouldn't take long, we'll film Fake Love." The boys all nod, following along and planning for the upcoming weeks.

"Fake Love will be the longer video to film—with all the cinematography planned." We all tense as manager Sejin continues. "We won't pack it all into a few days. Instead, we plan on filming a scene per day in order to give you all the rest you need."

"Ah, thank you," We all say, releasing a built-up sigh.

He nods, "And after we finish Fake Love it should be around mid-April, which gives you about a months time to relax and rehearse before the comeback. But—please keep in mind that we will be going to America to perform at the Billboard Music Awards, as well as many interviews. Please prepare for both." He looks to Namjoon.

"Of course hyung-nim," Namjoon says as he walks to his bag on the floor.

"Okay, get some rest. Taehyung, remember to come in to practice tomorrow, I'll be here around ten." Our choreographer Keone says.

I nod to him before packing up my stuff, ready to go home.
