You spun around in your office chair. Tapping your pen against your temple.

You've been struggling with this translation. A translated guide for the lyrics of their upcoming album. As well as interviews with the boys. You got the title "NO EASY" but couldn't help but put an enormous amount of pressure on yourself.

Just looking at the words don't help as there's a difference when it comes to English and Korean.

The simple solution was to talk to the composer himself. But that involves around 10 people and having several meetings. Chan was the second obvious answer but the boys were busy getting music videos filmed and practise done.

You sighed and grabbed your phone to go down to the cafe for a drink.

The Soulcup lady got your usual ready as you greeted her. It was a hot summers day in early July. You enjoyed the air conditioning within the cafe. But decided to stand outside for a bit for some hopeful inspiration.

You felt at peace with the gentle breeze fluttering the hem of your dress. You answered an incoming call through your earphones without looking at the caller.

"Hello, Y/N speaking." You sipped your iced tea.

"Jagiya." You smiled at the voice, picturing the speakers pout on the other end.

"Yes?" You giggled at his tone.

"Why so formal...I thought I changed your ringtone whenever I call."

"It's on silent at the moment and no, I'm not having 'Chris is hungry' play out loud repeatedly in the office." You sighed at the boys protest.

"Hm. Okay, where you at now?" You hear him panting and wind blowing on the other end of the line.

"I'm outside the Soulcup. It's nice out today." You looked into the distance, the sun shining through clouds, the light breeze lifting your hair.

"Could I have a sip of that?" You heard the sound of the cross walk ringing looked up as it's matched the cross walk right in front of you.

There you saw him. He had flowers in one hand and a paper bag in the other. He had a mask on, dressed in his usual all black outfit. His silver earrings shining as he walked towards you. You cut the line and he ran to you. Enveloping you in a hug. He presented you the bouquet of dried flowers.

"They're so pretty." You admired the dried lavender and fluffy cotton branch. The white complimenting the purple and pink accents.

"Not as beautiful as you my dear." He smoothly had his free hand on the small of your back and guided you back inside the building.

You blushed at his cheesy comment. Secretly suppressing the butterflies in your stomach. Chan had this new habit of surprising you. He would come up with little ideas of thoughtful things.

He leave sticky notes on your desk which you've saved in a little biscuit tin. The tin that had his handmade shortbread in. He brought you warm drinks when you had your period and warm packs. Brings you a hot water bottle when you visit him in his studio. He makes you sit down after a long day of work, gives a foot massages when he notices you were wearing heels. He now always has a little blanket in his studio for you to rest on your lap, in case you were wearing a skirt or a dress. He always kept your favourite snack in his bag.

Everything you say he keeps in mind which made you more careful of what you say. A slight comment of craving chips would somehow turn into a portion of sweet potato chips arriving at the company. Of course he would get snacks for the members too as delivery fee isn't cheap.

You felt his hand left you as you guys noticed a few staff members were going on their lunch break as well. You walked ahead of him to your usual meeting up spot, practise room 3. It was one of the few practise rooms that were kept during the renovation. The room you guys trained together with Jihyo.
