Hyorin: well dw
Haerim: yeah they're gonna get a hold of you one way or another.
Wait what?
Seri waited for a response but non of her friends bothered to answer. Now that she was left even more confused, she sighed as she leg go of her phone, hands resting on her stomach as she stared at the ceiling.
The quiet environment was suddenly interrupted by the sound of her phone vibrating.
Seri instantly grabbed her phone, hoping it was a message from one of her friends, but it was only when she looked at it once again when she realized it was someone else.

Hi, is this Seri?
Hi, yeah.
Do I know you?
Oh hey, It's me, Mark.
Oh hey Mark!
Hey, I'm sorry I forgot to get your number so I had to ask Yunseo for it.
Don't worry about it
Are you sure?

After reading his final message, Seri couldn't keep herself from smilling. Her heart was thumping louder, beating so fast she couldn't even decipher it all.
She felt her cheeks burning and her hands sweating at the moment and she just couldn't keep her emotions caged in any longer.
It took some time before she finally recovered from all the butterflies she was feeling and eventually went to bed.
-•-
It was now the next day and Seri was in the process of getting herself ready for work. She was sat on a stool infront of her mirror.
In the backround, the sound of commotion was heard. It wasn't even 8 in the morning yet Hyunjae ane Junseo were already going at it.
They were probablg throwing fists at this point but Seri was too deep into her phone, she didn't care.
She smiled, looking down at the countless messages she was recieving from the group chat.
"Someone's in a good mood today...." A voice teased causing Seri to take a look back. She smiled upon hearing this as Hyorin looked at as she wiggled her eyebrows.
"These guys are fun to hang out with really, like honestly." Seri said taking a deep breath in.
"I can see that, you're literally smilling at your phone so stupidly, I can truly sense your heart beating loudly." Hyorin teased again.
"I mean, can you blame me? It's not like my literal bias is not standing within six feet from me." Seri answered with Hyorin nodding in agreement.
"I trust that I will do the same thing." She commented, walking towards Seri.
"What do you think about dating one of them then? Are you up for it?" Hyorin randomly blurted out, catching Seri off guard.
She slowly lifted her head, looking up at Hyorin.
Although it was one of her stupid goals to marry one of them at first sight, she felt oddly guilty just thinking about it.
Hyorin noticed how silent she became and began laughing out loud. Her hands on her chest as she managed to laugh infront of Seri who was completely blown away by her question.
-
"Oh my god how stupid!" Chenle screamed as he stomped around the practice room. The boy was utterly frustrated since he still didn't manage to perfect the footwork.
While Chenle was whining, Seri just wayched in awe, trying to find the mistake in the seemingly perfect move he did.
It was already later that day when Seri made her way to work and met up with the boys in the practice room where they already started rehersing their dances one by one.
"Woah- take it easy." Mark said, looking shocked.
Seri smiled to herself as she watched Mark, trying his best to get the members to behave.
To her, Mark seemed like the over-worked and exhausted father of NCT Dream that never had a chance to rest and it only made her laugh as she thought of it.
Just the way he is and how he acts was a very comforting thing to Seri as she watched from the corner of the room. Her eyes, beaming as she counted herself lucky just by laying her eyes on him.
But it wasn't right....
It felt illegal to love to him, now that she was working for them.
She found herself caged and unable to break free. It wasn't easy, it needed time.
It seemed something that would only be better if if stayed imaginary and untrue.
Maybe it was because of her situation. She was young and still in the process of getting her life in one piece.
Her future was still unclear to her. She didn't really have any goals and sometimes just the thought of it made her scared.
But that was fine, Seri enjoyed and savored every second as it passed and would only worry later on.
