a month and two weeks passed after the don't wanna cry promotion, finally it finished.

every seventeen members but not seungcheol, got all their phone back safely, leaving seungcheol alone.

"where's seungcheol's phone?" jihoon asked the staffs. one of the staffs cleared her throat and asked seungcheol to make his way to the CEO's office. the members started worrying.

as seungcheol walked his way to the CEO's office, he only thought of something. jiye.

as not expected, the guy eung @ seungcheol stated as his dad was the CEO.

he actually took seungcheol's phone as he saw him texting everywhere. he really knew something was happening.

seungcheol then knocked to the door, "im here CEO-nim" he clarified.

after permission was given, seungcheol slowly stepped in.

"sit down." the CEO said.

seungcheol took his seat and saw his phone, in the CEO's hands.

"do you really think that you'll get your phone back?" he said again.

"n-no.." seungcheol stuttered.

the CEO looked at seungcheol and shook his head, "look seungcheol-ah. you're an idol. a seventeen member. the leader in fact. you're s.coups!" he said.

seungcheol bit his lips and thought about jiye. "have you ever fell in love, sajangnim?" seungcheol thought.

"love is not the pr-"

"then i can fall in love right?" seungcheol questioned.

"you can but-"

"i know. i know the reporters will go crazy about this, but i'll be careful." seungcheol said.

the CEO sighed, "do you really love her that much?" he asked.

"yes.."

"then im out." he smiled and gave seungcheol his phone.

"thank you sajangnim!" seungcheol stood up, bowing almost a lot of few times.
