We arrived at SM.

"Kamsahamnida" I bowed to everyone

"Take care" Jackson waved as I got out.

I headed inside the building and straight to the receptionist.

"Annyeonghaseyo" she bowed

"Annyeonghaseyo. Ningning is waiting for me" I informed her

Just then I heard her voice.

"Took you long enough" Ningning said as she walked up to me

"Mianhae. I'm not allowed out alone" I explained

"Araseo. Let's go upstairs" she walked to the elevator

"Um... Ningning can I take the stairs?" she looked at me

"Wae?" she raised an eyebrow

"I don't get along well with elevators" I scratched my head

"Are you scared of them?" I nodded

"Oh! I can't leave you alone tho" she looked at the elevator

"It's okay. Don't worry" I smiled

"Ani. You are my guest here. I can't do that" she insisted. I sighed

"Araseo. Let's take the elevator" I said

"Huh? Are you sure? We can take the stairs" she said

"Ani. I don't want to make you walk. Come on" I got in the elevator.

As soon as it started moving I started sweating and my pulse became faster.

We stopped at the first floor and I heaved a sigh of relief. Then the doors opened and Irene,Yeri and Joy walked in. I was still wearing my mask so they didn't recognize me immediately.

"Annyeonghaseyo sunbaenims" Ningning said and we bowed

"Annyeonghaseyo" they bowed back.

They saw in which floor we are going and they didn't press any button since they are going there as well.

"Are you having a collaboration Ningning?" Joy asked

"Eh? Ani" she shook her head confused

"Oh I thought that because you two are going to the practice rooms floor" she explained

"Ahh. Ne. Y/n was bored so we are hanging out" Ningning replied.

"Oh! Y/n wae are you still wearing your mask?" Ningning just realized

"F-forgot it" I took it off

They all could see that I'm sweating a lot.

"Gwaenchana? You are sweating a lot." Irene was the first one to notice

"N-ne" I nodded

"Oh he might still be scared of you unnie" Joy teased

"Huh? Jinjja? Are you still scared of me?" Irene asked and I shook my head

"He is scared of elevators" Ningning informed them

"Oh!" They all three were surprised.

Irene took my hand in hers in an attempt to make me calm down. It worked. I felt my heartbeat returning to normal. I smiled

"Kamsahamnida" I almost whispered it

She smiled and kept holding my hand until we arrived to our destination. She let go as soon as the doors opened. We all walked out.

"Y/n how are you?" Yeri suddenly asked

"Ah I'm okay now noona. Irene noona helped a lot" I smiled

Irene smiled softly.
