"so, made any new friends?" kihyun asked y/n.

"i think i did? i don't know." y/n replied. "in fact, he's in my japanese-"

"he?" jooheon asked. she nodded. "y/n, you have to be careful of the boys you make friends with. what grade is he in?"

"he's a senior." everyone's mouth dropped except for shownu, who had an idea of who it was.

"you're friends with shin hoseok?" he asked. she nodded again.

"he seems nice; he walked me to my elective."

"i walked you, he just popped out of nowhere!" changkyun corrected, popping into the conversation.

"but you walked off afterward?"

"i was intimidated by him and his big muscles."

everyone laughed at his silliness. little did they know, he was serious.

"next thing you know, y/n and that hyung would start dating." minhyuk predicted. "then, they'll have-"

"no, it won't happen." she interrupted, knowing what he would say next. "i'm smart enough to know what's right and wrong."

"that's what she says now." changkyun mumbled, making her slap his arm.

"well, i can walk myself home," she told the boys when they stopped in front of the building their dorm was.

"we'll walk you home." shownu insisted. "after all-"

the familiar camera crew climbed out of a van and quickly started to set up their equipment. yeonjoon walked over to the group and pushed y/n away from them.

"you need to go, we can't film you with them." he ordered y/n, tilting his head to a direction away from the boys. she felt hurt, but she couldn't help it. she then waved bye to the boys before quickly walking off.

"what was that for?" jooheon asked the camera director, a little mad at the way he handled the situation.

"we need to start filming right away for the next episode since the first episode is coming out tonight."

"what would you be filming, though? nothing interesting will be happening right now." minhyuk questioned. "plus, we have homework to do for school."

"a lot of homework." changkyun exaggerated.

"hmm. we have to call hyungwon to tell him about the sudden news." yeonjoon said, walking away from the boys while making a quick phone call.

he came back to the boys after getting off of the phone with hyungwon. "he said no filming today. however, when you guys practice tomorrow night, we will be filming you guys then. alright?"

"thank you." the boys thanked and bowed, while the camera crew started to put back their equipment in the van. shownu put in the code of the building, and the boys quickly walked to their dorm.

after unlocking their door, the boys plopped onto the couch.

"today was tiring." changkyun complained. "especially that y/n attends to our school now, it's exhausting."

"she'll get used to it, don't worry," shownu told him.

"speaking of y/n." jooheon's temper started to rise again. "that was so disrespectful of that guy to do that to the poor girl. she didn't even do anything."

"i'm sure he didn't mean to do it that harshly." shownu tried to calm him down, but it didn't help.

"i almost punched that guy's face." jooheon punched the couch as if it was the director's face. "if he's our director for the rest of the time, i might lose it."

"relax, it hopefully won't happen again." shownu tried to relax him one last time, which worked. jooheon just sighed and closed his eyes.

"okay, everyone, get up and start your homework." kihyun nagged the others, who groaned and went to their bunks, obeying him.

~ the next day ~

as the boys arrived at school with y/n, they received a lot of stares from other students, who whispered to one another.

"hyung, you don't think they recognize us already, right?" minhyuk asked shownu.

"it can't be. unless the first episode was very intriguing, i don't think so."

"the editors did a good job of editing though." y/n pointed out.

a random girl then walked up to them.

"you're jooheon, right?" the girl asked, standing in front of jooheon. he nodded, a little nervous.

"i just wanted to say that you are really cute. can i have your number?"

he blushed at the sudden question.

"sorry, i can't. but thank you very much," he told the girl, smiling at her. the girl giggled and ran off somewhere else.

"that was probably the best thing that happened to me," he said, smiling about what just happened.

"get used to this; it will be way worst when you guys debut," y/n warned them.

"worst? it feels so good though!"

"whatever. see you!" she ran off to the freshman building.

"changkyun, you should've walked her to her class." shownu said.

"nah, her best friend hoseok can walk her or something." changkyun joked, not making anyone else laugh.
