Sei woke up to the familiar ping of his phone, indicating a new message. Rubbing the sleep from his eyes, he reached for his phone and unlocked it to see a notification from Yujin.

A small smile tugged at Sei's lips as he read Yujin's message. He had been waiting for IVE's comeback for awhile now. Getting up from bed, he got out of his room, finding his members eating breakfast at the table.
"Sei-ah, pali!" Jaehyun called out to him. "I made some bacon and eggs."
"Gomawo, hyung." He replied with a smile. "Sorry I couldn't make breakfast for us, a bit tired."
Minho faced him with a grin, ruffling his hair. "Aigoo, don't worry about that, SeiSei! Pali, eat up."
Sei took a seat beside Wei, grabbing his own plate and proceeded to eat breakfast with the rest of ths group.
"By the way..." Jaehyun began as he faced the group. "We'll be heading out of country around November to attend the Billboard Music Awards, manager-hyung just informed me awhile ago."
"Wah, jinjja?!" Minho exclaimed in excitement, his eyes shining brightly.
"Woah..." A determined look appeared on Sei's face. "Does that mean we will be performing, hyung?"
"Ne, manager-hyung wants us to perform Movie Star for the awards." He replied with a smile. "Our schedule is about to get busy, so let's give it our all boys."
Everybody replied with a resolute nod. Finally finishing breakfast, Sei gathered the dishes and washed them. The rest of the members lounging at the couch.
"Hyung, IVE's comeback is today, can we watch it?" Sei called out to Jaehyun.
"Oh? Araseo, finish up there first." He replied.
As Sei finished up with the dishes, He dried his hands and headed for the sofa, putting up Youtube on the TV. He searched for Starships youtube account, finally finding their comeback MV, 'Baddie'.
"Baddie, huh..." Sei muttered out quietly, as he hit play on the video.

[End]
As the MV came to an end, Sei looked on amazed, the rest of Divinity sharing his sentiment. Every member of IVE looked amazing in their new comeback, but Yujin and Wonyoung had stood out to him, especially Yujin.
"Wah, Yujinnie cut her hair!" He pointed out after noticing Yujin's hair.
"Aigoo, are you lovestruck now, Sei-ah?" Minho teased.
"That aside, they're professional idols, alright." Jaehyun commented, Wei nodding in agreement.
"Ah, btw hyung." Sei spoke up. "I won't be around for dinner, Yujin invited me to have dinner with them."
"Wahh, our maknae is going on a date!" Minho exclaimed, crying crocodile tears. "He's growing up too fast!"
"Another day without Sei's cooking..." Wei added somberly. "Truly a travesty..."
"Hey, my cooking isn't that bad!" Jaehyun replied indignantly. "Anyways, make sure to keep your mask on, Sei-ah, araseo?"
"Neee!"
---
That evening, Sei found himself standing outside the dormitory building where IVE resided, a sense of anticipation bubbling within him. His manager had just dropped him off, tellimg him to contact him incase he needed to be picked up. Taking a deep breath to steady his nerves before ringing the doorbell.
The door swung open to reveal Yujin, a bright smile on her face as she greeted him warmly. "Sei-ah, you made it! Come on in, pali."
Stepping inside, Sei was greeted by the familiar faces of the IVE members, each of them welcoming him with smiles and friendly greetings. Rei, Leeseo, Gaeul, Liz, and Wonyoung were all gathered in the living room, chatting and laughing as they waited for dinner to be served.
"Oppa! Glad you could make it," Rei said, flashing him a smile. "We've been looking forward to having you, especially Yujin-unnie."
"Yah, Rei-ah! Stop making things up." Yujin replied, her face flushing.
Sei chuckled at their little bickering, he smiled warmly at each of them, feeling a sense of warmth wash over him as he greeted the members of IVE. "Thanks for inviting me. Your comeback was amazing, congrats everyone."
"Gomawo, oppa." Gaeul thanked him with a smile. "Pali, let's have dinner.
"Who did you like most in the comeback, oppa?" Liz interjected, as they headed to the dining area.
"Hmm, well, everyone stood out in my eyes." He began. "But Wonyoung and Yujinnie were really good."
"Gomawo, oppa." Wonyoung replied bashfully, a tinge of pink evident on her cheeks.
"Aigoo, you should only choose one, oppa!" Leeseo teased.
"Let's just leave it at that, you all did well." He then turned to face Yujin. "Short hair suits you, Yujinnie."
"Pabo, it's only for awhile, I like my hair long." She replied, although she couldn't stop herself from blushing at the compliment.
As they settled into dinner, Sei found himself engaged in conversation with the IVE members, exchanging stories and sharing laughs. Wonyoung, in particular, seemed unusually talkative, her eyes sparkling as she eagerly interacted with Sei.
"Oppa, how long did you play football for?" Wonyoung asked, her attention solely on him.
"Hmm... I started around 3rd grade, up until last year..." He pondered "So, it has been quite awhile."
"Waah, no wonder you're famous in Japan, oppa!" Rei commented with interest. "They call you Japan's Golden Child, right?"
"Ah, that nickname is a little bit embarrasing." Sei replied sheepishly. "I sucked at first, but then I hated losing alot so I decided to get better at it."
"Ne, we were curious, what's Sana-sunbae like when it's just you two, oppa?" Liz asks, curiosity shining through her eyes.
"Oh noona? She's a big baby sometimes, but she's really loving and does her best to help me out when she can." He replied, a soft smile on his face as he recalled memories of when they were still young. "She's close with Momo-noona, so I also saw her from time to time before she joined Sixteen."
"Wah, you two are so close, and you look alike too, I'd mistake you for twins." Gaeul commented, causing Sei to chuckle in response.
"By the way, oppa. Didn't you film a drama recently?" Wonyoung added, her eyes shining, catching Sei's attention. "When is it gonna be released? I heard you filmed it with Bae Suzy too."
"Oh yeah, soon, actually." He replied with a smile. "It was a bit tiring, but I hope you guys like it."
The night continued on with their casual conversations, each of them getting closer and closer with Sei and knowing more about him.
Unbeknownst to Sei, Yujin was watching their interaction with a hint of jealousy in her eyes. She couldn't help but feel a pang of envy as she watched Wonyoung's playful banter with Sei, a feeling she had never experienced before.
But despite her jealousy, Yujin remained composed, focusing on enjoying the evening with her 'friend' and fellow members. Deep down, however, she couldn't shake the nagging feeling that stirred deep within her.
As the night reached it's peak, it was finally time for Sei to head home, much to Wonyoung and Yujin's disappointment. Standing out the door of IVE's dorm, Sei and Yujin bid their farewells to each other.
"Thank you for me inviting me over, Yujinnie." He said with a warm smile, sending her heart into overdrive.
"Whatever, get home safe ok?" She replied, trying to be nonchalant. "Next time, let's have dinner, just the two of us."
With that, she quickly closed the door, leaving a confused Sei at the doorstep. "Eh?"
Mr. Son approached Sei from behind, lightly tapping him on his shoulder.
"Come on, loverboy." He teased. "Let's head back, it's been a night."
"Araseo, hyung." He replied, following Mr. Son back to the van.
"Jaehyun already informed, yes?" Mr. Son turned to look at him as he got into the driver's seat. "About the Billboard performance."
"Ne." Sei's earlier confused expression, was replaced with one of confidence and excitement. "I can't wait."
Mr. Son offered him a warm smile and rove on into the night, back to Divinity's dormitory.
"Just the two of us?"
END
Done!
Sorry this took awhile, and if it's short. Got down with a bad fever last night so I had to take some rest.
Enjoy!
