"I hope you're right with this."

"I'm always right when it comes to relationships."

"Is that why you're single?"

"There was no need for you to come for me like that."

I giggled at his grumpy face and he pretended to be upset and left the room acting like a spoiled toddler. I heard him laugh at himself from his room and shout "Good luck". I sighed while smiling and continued practicing on my guitar until my fingers stopped fingering. That.. definitely didn't sound as good as I thought it would.

"Boss, may I enter? I want to show you something that you might find interesting."

I looked at my gang member's codename on his tag and allowed him to come in. He politely bowed down before entering and showed me something on his laptop that I didn't really get at first.

"What's this supposed to be? You trying to take me out on a date or something?"

"Ah, n-no boss, it's a guitar performance that'll happen tomorrow that our enemy Miyawaki will attend and we thought that we should attack, but look at who's the one performing."

He clicked with his mouse on a link and I saw the profile of someone I didn't expect to see. I smirked to myself and pulled a wad of money from my cabinet and handed it to her.

"Order tickets for us only and go treat yourself something expensive tonight for doing a good job. Tomorrow is going to get really bloody."

I watched him bow down and excuse himself out. I stared at the name of the performer and kept on biting my bottom lip out of impatience and smiling to myself.

"It's your end Kim Yoohyeon. You'll pay for betraying me."

"I'm exhausted, gosh!"

I've been practicing for almost 10 hours and I might lose my sanity if I continued playing. I put my guitar down and went downstairs and got surprised to see Sakura here, eating with Yoojung. When did she even get here? They called me to eat with them the moment they noticed me and I immediately went there with a smile when I saw the food.

"What is all this? Wow- Yoojung, did you make it?"

"Actually, Saku bought it because she wanted you to eat something special before your performance tomorrow."

"But my performance starts 8 PM-"

"Shh, you can eat a sandwich or something before that. Now enjoy this expensive beef before I eat it all. It's so good!"

I chuckled to myself and sat down to try out the food and it was so much better than I thought. I was full in no time because of how much I ate. They both smiled at me and I just looked at them weirdly.

"Can you guys stop looking at me as if I'm a child. It's disturbing."

"I can't believe my little Yoohie grew up so well~ Your Saku is so proud of you honey- I can actually see you as a fashion ambassador for a big brand, you should definitely try it out."
