A few weeks later,
'I am leaving now. Anything else?' Mark asks Mia. 'Should be ok, enjoy your date.' Mia smiled and waved Mark off.
Mark took the lift and exited at level 2. Just as he exited, some female colleagues shrieked and ran off. Mark was confused, but he didn't bother much. As he walked towards the styling department, he tiptoed, trying to find his girlfriend, Mina. Just then,
'Mina unnie! Your boyfriend is here to pick you up.' Chaeyoung, one of Mina's colleagues and best friends, called her out. With that, Mina's head immediately rose. 'Thanks, Chae.' Mark smiled as he finally spotted her. Mina gives a shy smile as she starts to pack her bag. Mark immediately reached for her hand once beside her. Hand in hand, the couple exit the level. In the lift,
'So what is the plan for today?' Mina asks softly as they are heading to the car park. 'Well, it has been a while since we had an early Friday start for the weekend.' Mark started. Mina nods in agreement. Mark continued, 'So.. I was thinking of a game night.' Mina's eyes sparkle as she hears Mark's suggestion. Jumping up and down in excitement. 'I know you will like it. You get to choose which game tonight. Among Us or Overload.' Mark asks as they exit the lift and walk towards his car. 'Among us!' Mina replied excitedly as they reached Mark's car.
They ordered delivery for dinner and took turns to shower as they waited for the food to arrive. Mainly talk about their work during dinner. After dinner, they went to Mark's game room, getting ready for game night. Before that, Mina suddenly finding something in her bag.
'You ready?' Mark asks, 'What are you looking for?' Once he realised Mina was not at her seat.
'1 second.' Mina gives a short reply.
Just as she finally found the item, she stood up straight and hid the item behind her.
Mark gave her a confused look, 'What?'
Mina was nervous, 'I made something. I don't know if you will like it as it is quite girly.'
'What is it?' Mark can't help but find Mina cute.
Mina handmade a handphone strap for Mark, as it is all in pastel colours, she thought Mark would reject it. But in reality, 'Wow! You made this?' Mark's eyes sparkle, and he immediately uses them.
Mina blushes deeply, grateful that Mark likes it. Though they have been together for about 2 years, their relationship is slowly progressing. They mainly play games together or watch movies at either of their places. Mark is planning to ask Mina to move in with him, but no idea how to bring the topic up. Sunday night, as they are deciding what to have for dinner, Mark finds the courage to ask.
'Won't it be better if you just move in since most of your things are already here?' Mark casually added in. Mina widened her eyes as she understood the meaning behind. 'I might need to think for a while.' Mina slowly replies. Mark nods, 'Sure, no rush.'

Shortly after Mark left, BM came knocking.
'Come in.' Mia replies.
'Heading back soon?' BM ask as he enters the room.
'Ah! BM! I forgot to inform you, I am driving back myself today. You can go off early. Go dating or something. Before I get complaints from Somin.' Mia teases.
'Noona, are you driving straight home after work?' BM question.
'Yes. Huta will be finishing work early today, so we are having movie night.' Mia glows with happiness.
'Ok, take care, drive slowly!' BM nags as he leaves the room.
Rare days that he gets to go off early, as he enters the lift, give Somin, his girlfriend, a call. After the 4th ring, she answers.
'Hello?' Somin answered absentmindedly. 'Minny. Are you finishing work?' BM ask excitedly.
'Oh? Oppa? That is rare. I will be finishing up in about 30 minutes.' Somin replied with a smile.
'Ok, I will wait downstairs at the cafe.' BM say.
'Ok, see you in a few.' Somin reply.
Somin only came down 40 minutes later, a face apologetic as she approached BM.
'Sorry!' Somin placed her hands together and bowed slightly.
BM pats on her head, 'It is fine, work is more important.'
'It is still busy lately as the JJ Project joined us. So we have to start on their merchandise, etc. And Jackson has already released his album, so we are doing up related merchandise for it as well.' Somin explains as they head towards the car park where BM park his car.
Once they settled in BM's car, Somin asked, 'So where are we going?' 'What do you feel like having today?' BM threw the question back to her.
'Been a while, let's have Korean food.' Somin suggests.
They head towards one of their favourite restaurant. The owner recognised them as they often patronise them.
'It has been a while since you 2 came.' The owner greeted them as they took their seats.
'Hello! Yes, we have been busy.' Somin replied politely.
'Let me know once ready to order.' The owner smiles.
Shortly after they order, Somin ask, 'Today you finish earlier than usual.'
'Mia noona say she is driving home today, hence let me go off earlier.' BM explain.
'I see. Actually how is Ms Mia?' Somin is curious, she never got a chance to meet her before.
'She is very serious in her work. Very friendly and nice.' BM describe.
'We should go out together someday.' BM suggest.
Somin, a face of shock, 'Going out with my boss's boss?'
BM laughs, 'Mia noona is very nice. You will like her too.'
'She did mention that she wants to know you.' BM add-on.
'We shall see how.' Somin resist the idea.

A month later, Mia finally agreed to make time to go gym with BM and Mark. They are just going to do the treadmill, which is most comfortable for Mia. As they exited at level 3 after work around 8pm, they saw Huta exiting the locker room towards the gym.
'Hey! Gym time?' Huta was a bit surprised to see them.
'Huta!' Mia excitedly greeted him, while BM and Mark exchanged looks.
In the end, 4 of them did their workout. BM and Mark did weights, Huta did aerobics, while Mia just did running on a treadmill. After 1 hour plus of working out, they call it quits and decide to go for dinner together. At the nearby restaurant.
'So, how come you guys came to the gym today? Usually I don't see any of you.'Huta started.
'BM and Mark feels that I need to exercise more hence after weeks of dragging, I can't pull off today.' Mia pout.
Huta smiled and patted her head. BM and Mark continue to exchange looks.
'How are the boys?' BM is trying to change the topic.
'Jackson is catching up. Oh, did you know Jaebeom used to b-boy? Maybe he needs to change classes.' Huta chuckles.
'What about Jinyoung?' Mia asks casually.
'He is ok.' Huta is feeling a slight jealousy.
Somehow, Mia noticed a slight change in Huta's tone and turned to him, 'Are you jealous?'
Huta backed up slightly and replied in a louder voice, 'No.'
'He is jealous.' Mark decided to tease, while BM gave a knowing look.
Huta knows that Mark and BM are on Mia's side, started to just pout.
Mia chuckled slightly and pulled on Huta's hand, 'You are always the best, besides, JJ Project are dating each other.'
Huta widened his eyes, 'What?' Mia is shocked, 'You didn't know? I think they are very obvious.'
BM nods, while Mark shrugs.
Everyone then laughs awkwardly. The matter was then dropped. After dinner, Huta drove Mia home, on the way back to Mia's place.
'So, have you thought about it?' Huta hinted.
'I will move in with you, my lease is still another 4 months, I will slowly pack and move as and when I am free.' Mia smiled and squeezed Huta's hand.
Huta smiled so brightly that Mia laughed at his funny face.
On the other hand, as Mark didn't drive hence BM drove Mark back, on the way.
'Today's dinner ended well.' Mark started.
'Guess they are over the honeymoon period? Less mushy.' BM said.
'Rather, Huta hyung toned down since he knows that Mia noona doesn't like public displays of affection.' Mark commented.
'Just hope that their relationship remains strong with all those admirers of Mia noona.' BM sighs.
