2 years ago, RFA Christmas Party

It was a great party hall with the most beautiful chandelier hung above and festive atmosphere throughout the room. The band rendered the melodious song of Mariah Carey's All I Want For Christmas Is You while everyone lifted their champagne, having a nice bonding conversation between each other. Crowd gathered in line, waiting for their chance to step up to the podium to place their donation. Lots of them came from different background. Actors, business men, organizations, all of them went up one by one, placed their case full of money or checks before the sum shewed from the big screen behind them.

"Now, next in line please," a beautiful girl in long blond hair gestured for the next person in line to place his donation. She was busily typing the large sum the previous donors donate, keeping her eyes fixed into the screen in front of her, totally unaware to another beautiful figurine towering in front of her.

"It's me Rika-shi," came a manly yet beautiful voice above her head

Rika looked up at the source of that voice, "Oh, Zen!" she exclaimed happily, stood up to pat Zen's broaden shoulder with her one hand, cleaning up the snow remnants that stayed idly in his broaden shoulder, "Why are you standing in line?" she asked, smiling from ear to ear at the presence of the most beautiful person, her muse.

Zen's waist-long thick silver hair was drawn back. Perhaps it was the way he had his hair styled in perfect ponytails, his chiseled face highlighting his perfect feature.

"I'd like to make donations too of course," Zen replied, smiling back at her, handing over a check to Rika, which Rika gladly accepted it

"You can make donations later on. Why don't you help us for now?"

Rika and Zen turned their head to the source of voice. Another beautiful figurine suddenly came from Rika's back. His short turquoise hair flowed down beautifully, following his saunter forward. He brought a DSLR camera with the longest lens in his hands, and naturally placed his right arm in Rika's shoulder. It was V, her beloved fiancé. Rika's face turned red at V's sudden gesture, though she hid it by speaking casually toward Zen.

"Haha, V's right. Yoosung's been gone for hours because of some issues with stage lighting. Why don't you go and help him?" Rika asked, turning her head into the hallway, searching her cousin's whereabout

Zen hissed, "Please give me a break… I was just there for just now looking at lights. Only one of them is malfunctioning, it's not a big issue.. But that kid was so damn picky. I told him we should wait for an electrician, but he didn't listen. So impatient.." he growled

V chuckled, "Yoosung can be really passionate,"

"Yeah, I could tell from his report card, haha," Rika retorted, giggling at the idea of her cousin's panicking trying to fix the light

"Well, if you don't want to help Yoosung, why don't you help Jumin picking up his suit? I heard he's waiting for another one," V suggested, but smirking at the end of suggestion

"Helping Jumin?!" suddenly he got worked up, "I'd better go help Yoosung than being with him even only for a second.." Zen scoffed

V and Rika couldn't help laughing to see Zen got hyped like that. They knew very well that Zen and Jumin never got so friendly with each other. They were so different in personality, yet Jumin had a cat, Zen's worst nemesis.

After a moment, which seemed to be like forever, she ventured to express her thoughts..

Eun Ha : I just came here to find the owner of the phone… What is going on?

707 : Owner of the phone?

707 : You were phised lol

Seven continued telling Eun Ha that the Unknown possibly was someone Rika trusted enough. And Unknown was indeed someone who convinced Eun Ha to go to that office tel to continue Rika's job. Zen was the one who explained about Rika and the organization they were in. Apparently, they were in RFA, Rika's Fundraising Association. Rika founded the organization 4 years ago, and hosted 2 parties until so far. Everyone helped Rika hosting the party. But unfortunately, she had passed away a year and a half ago. Eun Ha accepted that information. All she had to do was hosting a party and something about emails.

She had never gone to any party before. The parties that she ever joined were her reunion party with her college friends, but it was only in a restaurant and end up drinking soju till drop. She couldn't stay until that party was ended though. She maintained her schedule to go home before midnight every day. But there she was, in her new neighborhood, being accused of burglary that she had nothing to do with. She must have drunk a lot to believe in a stranger's request to go to a strange address plus meeting stranger people.

She looked at her watch. She didn't believe that it was 2 am in the morning. Clearly, there would be no bus around anymore. She started to get panicked. What if there was criminal lurking around in the corner? Or maybe it was a prank by someone and they would pop out of nowhere to startle her and gave her money? Or… maybe they were just a robot programmed to say things…

She couldn't make any guesses and stopped reading chats. Reading it on and on felt like a heavy burden fell into her shoulder. She still couldn't understand what she had to do. She might be okay dealing with people, but a large scale of party? She didn't think she could do it. Let alone, she had to re-arrange her schedule of teaching in Yonsei and her translating job. There were always deadlines for her work, so she couldn't jeopardize her job only to help some strange request from an unknown group.

She straightened her back, grabbed her phone again, and looked at the chat once more. But unfortunately, all of them had left the chat room. She sighed, and still wondering, what she would do first. She rubbed her tired eyes and let out a small yawn.

Suddenly, her phone rang. There was someone calling her. She hesitated for a while whether she picked up or not. But she picked up at last.

"Rrrrrrrrr…. Rrrrrrrrrrr…. Your bank account has been used for a fun prank. Were you aware of this? I must first confirm your cell phone number to verify your identity so please calmly follow the instruction," a man speaking with a heavy accent

"Oh my god, what should I do? Do you want me to press my number or tell you? What prank was it?" Eun Ha asked, perplexed. She was taken by surprise at the sudden information about her bank account. From all the time in the world, why did it have to happen exactly at that time? It was just like out of the frying pan, and fell into the fire.

"Gullible customer, please calm down. And take a deep breath. Breath in~ breath out~ You must be collected at a times like this. Now, if you've taken a deep breath, please go ahead and say I love you~"

Eun Ha didn't believe what she just heard. Was it a prank? Again?

"Honey, I love you~ Is it okay? So my bank account is okay right? Anyway, what does honey I love you had anything to do with it? Hey, do I need to tell you my number now? You didn't answer any of my questions before.. My money is save right? Well, even though I didn't have that much money, but still.. It was my money.. Please tell me my money is not gone…"

She bombarded the caller with a bunch of questions as she didn't want to get a consecutive misfortune. Being led into a suspicious office tel was more than enough for her.

But the caller only laughed hysterically at her chortle.

"Hahahahahhahaa you do have so many questions,"

"Of course I have.. Please tell me.." Eun Ha muttered in hope, biting her thumb nails as she was so dead afraid her money would gone to waste

The caller giggled, "I'm sorry.. I was just joking~ I'm Seven. Agent 707 in the chat room, Defender of Justice coming to rescue!" Seven said in a upbeat voice

"Seven? You are that Seven from the chat room, right?" she asked dumbfoundedly, "So.. it was a joke? Then.. my bank account is secure?" she asked again out of curious

"Yes, totally saved. Sorry, I played with you a little. You're cute,"

She felt her face hotter. It was the second time he called her cute like that, making her wonder whether he used to say that to any woman he encountered.

"Hey, I'm older than you. Shouldn't you call me noona?" she decided teased him a bit

"Noona? Hmm, you don't feel like a noona to me. You're so small, 157 or 159 cm perhaps?" Seven asked

"Actually, it's 155 cm," Eun Ha replied, honestly

"Whooah, you're shorter than you seem!" Seven exclaimed, aghast

She looked left to her heels she placed near the door and looked back at her feet. She wore a 7 cm long of heels that night, so Seven might mistook her height.

"By the way, what was that waving to CCTV?" Seven asked, giggling, interrupted her pondering about her height

"You saw me?" she asked, embarrassed

"Of course I saw you. I'm a hacker you know. I know everything within this world…." Seven said, bragging, pressing an 'e' in everything when he said it

"Oh really? So, do you know who I really am? I might be a serial killer you know.." she joked

"That face? Serial killer? Woow, is this an Orphan Movie when the serial killer looked like a little girl who in fact a grown up woman?" he giggled harder now

"I'm still 3 years older than you. Well, I'm short indeed. But that's because I stopped growing when I was in 5th grade of elementary school!" she said, half screaming, half giggling

Seven made an echoing laughter. She could hear it too when she put her phone on the table. She should be annoyed by Seven's joke, but she found it amusing enough and hilarious too.

"Hey, satisfied?" Eun Ha asked, trying hard not to laugh too.

"Ahahaha yes.. You are so hilarious.. I haven't laughed like this for a loooooong time now. Is there really someone who stopped growing at 5th grade elementary school?"

"Well, yes.. I am.." Eun Ha started pouting

And he started laughing again..

"Well, anyway.. You must have felt confused by this situation," Seven said after he could stop his laughter, "What do you feel now?"

"Well, I'm sleepy. It's 2 am in the morning, but I was alone in this office tel,"

"Are you afraid of ghost~?" he asked sotto voce, "There might be one lurking beneath you as we speak~"

Eun Ha shuddered, "Hey! Don't even start!"

The caller only laughed again at Eun Ha's pouting. He might have found Eun Ha bullyable at his constant prank. Lucky for him though, he found one other person to bully apart from Yoosung.

"Sorry m'lady~" he giggled, "Anyway, Eun Ha.."

"Yes?" she asked

"Well.. Have you considered working with us? Filling Rika's shoes I mean," he asked

"Hmm," she pondered as she remembered what Unknown said in the previous chat. He said that his religion told him it wouldn't be nice to decline another's request. She put up with it. Maybe Unknown was right. If she could help, even for a bit, maybe it was not too harmful to make a party happen again, "Perhaps it would be nice to help you guys.. If you shall have me, I mean.."

There was a yelp of happiness in the other side, "Thank you, my lady! Of course! It is us who should say our gratitude to you.."

Eun Ha let out a smile. She was imagining this Seven guy was smiling brightly as they speak, with his yellow black stripes pattern glasses slanted a few inches from his eyes, "You're welcome.." she giggled

"Now.." he clapped his palm to something that sounded like his thigh, "I must tell you one other important thing in order to work with RFA,"

"What is it?" she furrowed her brows

"It is essential that you stay in Rika's office tel while you work with us,"

"What?" she was confused

"Yes.." he answered positively, "Emails that the guests send will be transferred to your phone through computer in Rika's room. I had it set like that. So, you need to stay there from now on," there was no answer from Eun Ha, "Well – what do you think?"

"Hmm, why can't I work in my own apartment? Doesn't emails could be received from anywhere in this planet now? I mean, anywhere with internet connection.." she tried to reason him

"I'm sorry.. But the emails for this RFA Party must be protected. And you didn't just receive emails from the usual consumer services like Gmail or Yahoo, this application is specially made by the genious agent 707!" he bragged again, added by giggling, "So, if you didn't stay in Rika's office tel, the emails wouldn't be sent and received,"

"Aah, I see. It is very confidential, huh? The guests' information, I mean,"

"Yes,"

"Okay then. I'll do it. I'll move here until the party over," she answered

"Yes! You've made an excellent choice, my lady with long-brown hair," he replied in delight

"Okay then.." she chuckled, "Say, Seven.. If I need to stay here, I have to go home first to prepare things, right? Well, can you pick me up? You said in the messenger that you already know this place right? So, can you? I'm a bit scared to go outside actually.." Eun Ha said in a serious tone

There was no answer for at least 5 seconds there. So, she assumed that she had stepped over the line there.

"Ah, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to press you or something. Please forget what I just said," Eun Ha spluttered

A silent treatment continued. Eun Ha didn't dare to make an attempt to speak first, therefore, she waited the other person to speak first. The needle in her watch showed it had passed more than 30 seconds, and no words coming out from the caller. She was about to utter something to break the silence when he suddenly cut her off.

"Sorry. But I couldn't." Seven said in a slightly different tone

There was some sort of distant grieve in his tone, like a voice people uttered in the funeral. There was no happiness, only hollow.. Eun Ha tried to figure out the different attitudes this guy had for the past few minutes, but she failed. She had never met someone who could be joking happily in one time and get mysterious in the next minutes.

"Yes, I understand. Soooo," Eun Ha tried to change the conversation, "I could go back to my apartment first right? I needed my clothes in order to stay here, you know."

"Ah yes. You may go home. Please be careful."

Again, there was no joking tone in his voice. She felt a bit curious though, but decided not to ask further.

"Yes. Thank you for your care my little brother.." Eun Ha giggled

"But still, I'm waaaay more taller than you.." Seven teased, back with his normal joking tone

"Liar, how could I know how tall you are if you are the only one who could see me.."

"Well, you can never know for sure, because Seven Zero Seven is Defender of Justice! Always hide your mask to protect your beloved ones! Beep beep beep!"

"Hahahaha okay okay, I understand. Anyway, thank you so much for this phone call. I'll be back after I pack my things. So, sayonara.."

"Okay, sayonaraaaa~"

She clicked her phone. And she stood up from her chair.

"Well, see you in a moment, Rika's office tel. Perhaps you would be a witness to anything that occurred days after this.." she said, caressing the edge of the table

She muttered her temporary good bye to the office tel and got out from there. She saw the CCTV again. Knowing that Seven might see her, she bowed like a princess and waved to the CCTV. She gave him a sweetest smile she could ever give. She didn't want to make Seven think that she felt a heavy burden in her shoulder, though she did. She should assure him that everything was going to be okay.

But what she didn't know was, a man behind CCTV had to suppress his urge not to come and rescue her as soon as possible from that office tel. He felt a strange sensation in his heart when he saw her bowing toward CCTV. He bit his lip so hard and watched her got inside the elevator while clenching her fist and closing her eyes. Was there something wrong with her? Why did she have to clench her fist and close her eyes? And what would happen from now on? Would everything be okay?

02.00 The Lobby

Eun Ha got out from that elevator half running. There was no one there in the lobby except for the receptionist. She called a cab to get home because clearly, there would no longer bus available in the early morning like this. After waiting for a while, her cab came and she got into the cab while saying goodbye to the receptionist. She told the driver her apartment address and laid her body down to the seat. With her head on the window, she kept on remembering how she could end up into that office tel. And she got to remember every member's name as soon as possible.

There were Jumin, Yoosung, Zen, Jaehee, V, and Seven, well one other person, the deceased Rika. They grouped together to create an organization called RFA – Rika's Fundraising Association – a charity organization which could save people in need, that was something new to her.

"Sounds cool enough", she thought for herself.

Even though she tried hard not to feel burdened, reaching everyone's expectation was not an easy thing to do. She didn't know how to make a party. Did she have to take care of catering, or music, or venues of party?

Eun Ha was pondering about the future party she had to handle when suddenly a chat came in. It was from Yoosung apparently. She opened up the chat room, and read his chat.

Yoosung : I really want to get to know you more, Eun Ha..

Eun Ha : I'm quite a unique person you know..

She decided to tease him a bit.

Yoosung : Why? Are you famous person or something?

Eun Ha : Maybe.. I might have gone to one of your classes Yoosung.. Lol

Yoosung : Ah… I forgot that you are assistant lecturer.. T_T

Yoosung : Please, don't pinch me when I slept at your class.. T_T

"He was too cute," she thought.. So, she decided to tease him more..

Eun Ha : Well, no.. But maybe I could kiss you a bit.. I heard that's how a prince waking up the Snow White.. ^^

Yoosung : A.. a… a… ki…kiii….. KISS?! Are you sure?!

She burst out laughing. The driver seemed a bit startled too when Eun Ha laughed at sudden.

Eun Ha : Hahahahahha of course I'm joking. Who on earth would do that to you.. Hahaha

Yoosung : Hmmph.. don't tease me T_T

Yoosung : Why does everyone like to tease me? T_T

Eun Ha : Maybe.. because you're cute? ^^

Yoosung : Whoaaaahhhh.. Thank you!

Yoosung sent smily emoji

Eun Ha : Ah, Yoosung. I'm sorry but I have to go. My cab has arrived in front of my apartment. Talk to you later, ok? Ciao!

Yoosung : Ok ^^

Eun Ha has left the chatroom

She paid the cab and said her gratitude toward the driver. She was glad enough she could get home save. She opened her apartment door and put her stuff on her couch. She took a shower long enough as she was remembering her phone call with Seven.

"Seven.. Is he the mood maker in RFA group?" Eun Ha asked herself

She had a habit of talking to herself. She found it quite helpful for her days.

"Geez, he must have found me a weird girl waving to CCTV…"

She covered her face out of embarrassment. She knew someone would probably saw her footage in CCTV, but she didn't think that anyone would practically laugh watching her. But she couldn't help smiling a bit while remembering Seven. She liked his outgoing personality. She had a hunch that she could get close to him in a matter of days, or maybe.. hours?

But it was not Seven that she really wanted to get close to. She wanted to know more about Zen. She was interested in his job as a musical actor. Basically she loved music, moreover classic. Opera was her thing. Plus he was indeed so handsome. He looked a bit older than her, even though he was a year younger than her. There was something different about Zen. From all the members, he was the one who accepted her for the first time without any suspicion. A grin didn't fade. She didn't realize she was smiling when picturing Zen. She couldn't wait to get to know him more.

After she stepped out of the bathroom, she laid her body to her bed. There were so many things that happened in the past few hours. She decided to close her eyes for a while, before started packing in the morning.

07.30 am, Kang Jaehee's apartment

Looking up her collection of Zen's musical DVD made Kang Jaehee's morning a bit better than last night. She still couldn't accept the new member of RFA. Lee Eun Ha.. that was her name if she was not mistaken. She felt annoyed with everyone's quick adjustment of the new member. Their suspicion might be blinded by their full trust of V. She couldn't understand why they trust Eun Ha so easily. She didn't give a damn. Plus, Zen was one of the members. The idea of them getting together as time passes frightened her till the bone. She would never let them have feelings for each other.

It was not because she had some sort of feelings toward Zen, but it was her duty as a hardcore fans of him to maintain his career soaring higher as time passes. She couldn't let anything – anyone – got in the way of his career, for her only happiness in this dreadful life was only watching Zen's acting on the stage.

She took a sip of her favorite morning coffee. The aroma of freshly grinned coffee and the light sensation of caffeine soothed her upset mind a bit. She really loved coffee. Ever since the company had a grinding machine, her quantity of drinking coffee had increased. Without her knowledge, coffee had become her friend while staying late at the office.

Being an assistant to Han Jumin required a strong will and strong heart. Jumin's ignorance sometimes made her blood boils to the core. Like a few days ago, Mr. Chairman, Jumin's father, made a request to Jumin's department to take care of a new project. The proposals of the company's next projects were scattered in the desk. She picked the closest proposal from the table. It was the proposal of the new coffee shop franchise that Mr. Chairman's new girlfriend wished to have. Jumin asked her to do the research about it. Nonetheless, Jumin didn't really fancy the new project at all. He told Jaehee not to do the research wholeheartedly. She ignored her boss request. On the contrary, she made the perfect report on this coffee project. It was the first time she found her job interesting.

Suddenly her phone rang. Jumin called her. It was a bit strange as he stated once that he didn't like to hear Jaehee's voice outside the company. Nevertheless, she picked it up.

"Assistant Kang, it's me," Jumin said in his deep low voice

"Yes Mr. Han, is there something wrong?" Jaehee asked

"I want you to help Lee Eun Ha moving out from her current apartment this morning," Jumin commanded

Jaehee felt a little mind to do what Jumin told her. Didn't Rika's office tel address was a secret? How could he tell her to help that girl moving out? It didn't make any sense.

"I'm sorry Mr. Han, sir. But, isn't Rika's office tel's address a secret? How could I help her move out?" Jaehee asked, trying so hard not to let her upset voice heard by her boss

"I feel that she may require a safe transport. Just drop her off closer to her destination. That might help her a bit,"

Jaehee wanted to say her disapproval, but she couldn't say it. She was merely an assistant to him. All that she could do was approving Jumin's order, otherwise her job would be in jeopardy.

"I'll do as you order Mr. Han," Jaehee said unwillingly

"Yes. And make sure you tell her what she needed to do to prepare the party. She should get used to this organization as soon as possible,"

"Yes, Mr. Han,"

She hung up the phone. Organizing her thoughts for a while, then grabbed her phone again. She didn't know Eun Ha's phone number yet. She thought of calling Luciel, he might already know since he was the hacker in this group.

She waited for Luciel picking up her call. She drifted her eyes to the scattered proposals in the desk. She hadn't quite finished them, yet she was assigned to do another job. She released a long sigh and tried to do her job well. There was no room for complaining.

After a few ringing, the hacker picked up her call.

"Good morning~ You are connected to the Defender of Justice headquarter. My name is Secret Agent 707. May I help you?" Seven answered. He teased Jaehee by playing a role of being an assistant.

She exhaled, "Can you tell me Lee Eun Ha's phone number? Mr. Han told me to talk with her about the party.." Jaehee explained. She wasn't in the mood of joking. She needed the answer right away.

"If I may ask you, what business you plan to do with her?" Seven asked robotically

"I've said it before. Mr. Han wanted me to give Eun Ha a brief explanation about the party. He thought that she needed that.."

"My apologies, but I'm sure I haven't got your name. May I know your name madam?" he cut Jaehee's words

She couldn't take it anymore.

"LUCIEL!"

She raised her voice. Seven was indeed a joker every single time..

"Whoaahh…. Jaehee~ Please pity my ear.. My ear is so delicate.. I need it so~ much.. You are so meeaaaan!" Seven pouted

Jaehee sighed. She really didn't need a joke at the current time, "Please, I have no time for joking…" Jaehee said, desperately

"Well then.. I'm afraid I must tell you then.."

"Thank you," Jaehee said, relieved

"But, I'll have to get something from you~ It's a win win~" Seven said, jokingly

"What is it?"

"Let me play with Elly~~~"

Jaehee surely knew the answer to that demand. Seven would never get what he wished for, as he was once caught on CCTV biting the neck of white fur Persian cat, Elizabeth the 3rd. Jumin would never let Seven play with his beloved cat ever again after that.

"Jumin always commend her cat to you Jaehee, and you alwaaaays whine about it, sooooo I want you to trade Elly with Eun Ha's phone number.. How about that?" Seven asked giggling

"There's no way Mr. Han would permit Elizabeth the 3rd in your care. You're a cat abuser," Jaehee answered in her steady tone.

"Whuutz? Cat abuser? Why couldn't you see it as a deep affection between me and Elly~ It's a win win Jaehee~ And you don't have to tell Jumin~ Ok ok?"

"No,"

"You can give Elly to me in secret~ I know all about secret entrance in everyone's building, including your apartment~" Seven giggled a little louder this time.

"No."

"Aish.. So cold! So robotic like Jumin!"

Jaehee never replied to his joking. It was only a waste of time after all.

"Aish.. Ok then, I'll tell you. But~"

"What else?!" she couldn't help raising her volume once again. Seven surely loved to make her angry.

"Do you plan to meet her or just call her?" Seven asked, a bit more serious this time

"I plan to meet her. Maybe in an hour or so. I'd like to ask her whether she is willing to see me this morning," Jaehee said

"Huum~ Why?"

"Do I need to go to your house and strangle you and kick your ass right now?"

Jaehee's voice was as steady as always but she would probably make those threats come true if he played around a bit longer. Perhaps, he knew about that as well, as he began speaking a bit more serious this time.

"Jaehee~ You're so scary~ Ok ok, I'll stop now," Seven gave up, "Well, if you want to meet her, please never ask her about Rika's office tel. Okay? I can trust you on that, can't I?"

Seven's voice implied that he was not kidding. He was serious.

"I can guarantee that," Jaehee assured him

"Ok then, I'll message you now,"

"Thanks Seven,"

She hung up her phone. A message consisting Eun Ha's phone number pop out in a second after that. She saved her number and dialed the younger girl.

8.00 am, Eun Ha's apartment

Lee Eun Ha had almost done packing when her phone vibrates, a sign of the incoming call. Once again, it was an unknown number. She wondered whether she should pick it up or ignore it. It might just be an insurance agency, trying to sell their service to random people. She never liked this kind of ads. She found it disturbing. But, after ringing for a while, she answered the call eventually. She didn't have a heart rejecting someone's call.

"Hello," Eun Ha answered

"Hello, good morning. I'm Kang Jaehee, Mr. Han's assistant," Jaehee said

Her voice was clear and firm, Eun Ha could feel her dominance personality. Sometimes she couldn't get along well with this kind of women, but she gave it a shot for now. She shouldn't judge a person by the voice only.

"Ah, Jaehee-shi. Nice to hear from you. How do you know my number if I may ask?" Eun Ha asked

"Luciel told me,"

Jaehee's answer was cold and monotone. Eun Ha didn't say a word. Perhaps Jaehee still upset about last night? Jumin and Jaehee were not on the same page as the others, and Eun Ha still remembered how Jaehee was going to call the police to arrest her on an attempt of breaking and entry. It was not so pleasant for a first impression.

"Hello, you're still there?" Jaehee asked curiously

"Yes mam,"

Eun Ha got her tongue slipped. She didn't mean to call Jaehee with mam.

"Mam? Do you think I'm much older than you?" Jaehee said, she did sound upset now.

"I'm sorry, I slipped, sorry," Eun Ha said. She felt really sorry. She didn't mean to make her upset or something but Jaehee's dominance voice made Eun Ha accidentally address her as a mam.

Jaehee sighed, "Well, never mind. I'd better explain my purpose of calling you then,"

"Okay, I'm listening," Eun Ha said

"I got assigned from Mr. Han to help you moving from your apartment and told you how you would do your job as a new host. There were a lot to talk about. I wanted to properly talk to you instead of chatting online," Jaehee said

"Well, I do feel the same,"

"Good. Then, I believe you've packed your needs right now? I will pick you up in an hour from now in your apartment. May I know your current address?" Jaehee asked

"Well, I don't mind. It is not like Rika's old office tel which is secret," Eun Ha said

"Yes, thank you for your cooperation. Then I'll go get ready. See you in an hour,"

"Yes, see you soon, Jaehee-shi," Eun Ha said politely

Eun Ha sent her address to Jaehee. She began to get ready for the meeting. She should use proper clothes to meet her. Jeans and T-shirt might not be a best choice for now, so she put on her semi-formal outfit, dark-chocolate blazer, a shirt, and a skirt might feel a bit fit to meet someone like Jaehee.

She combed her long brown hair and pin her bangs to her right side. She felt like it was decent for her to appear as neat as possible to meet Jaehee. Clearly, Eun Ha had loads of questions about RFA, and maybe Jaehee could answer them.

Jaehee arrived in front of her apartment precisely an hour later. To Eun Ha's shock, Jaehee was standing in front of what seemed to be a limousine. She never saw a limousine for her whole life, so imagining that she and Jaehee would ride a limousine was too splendid. They greeted each other awkwardly and decided to go to the nearby café. Eun Ha's suitcase fitted clothes for a week had been carried away to the trunk by Driver Kim, Jumin's driver.

After a while – Eun Ha couldn't stop jittering and glancing up and down inside the limousine, pretty much making Jaehee furrow her brow at the scene, or at least that was what Eun Ha felt, Jaehee didn't really say much there – they arrived in front of café which displayed butterscotch latte frappe and strawberry pancakes as today's menu. It was rather a nice mixture they got there. Perhaps, Eun Ha should try it.

"I heard coffee and cake in this café are good. Have you been here?" Jaehee asked when they entered the café

"No, I haven't been to any café lately. Busy with works," Eun Ha said sadly

"Well, I understand your situation. I seldom have an opportunity to use my free time. But, that is my job, I couldn't whine," Jaehee said

"Yeah, you're right," Eun Ha said, agreeing at one point with her

Driver Kim stayed in the limo while the girls sat leisurely in the café, waiting for waitress came to take their orders. Eun Ha chose today's menu, while Jaehee chose Belgian Choco Latte and cheese cake. While they were waiting for their orders to come, Jaehee asked the younger girl about her background which Eun Ha answered it all. The older woman got perplexed as she found out Eun Ha originally came from Masan.

"But you don't have any accent.." she lifted her eyebrows, "You speak like Seoul people.. How come?" Jaehee asked confusedly

"Hmm.." the younger girl hummed. It was not the first person asking her about why-she-had-no-Gyeongsang-accent, almost all her new friends asked about that thing than any other questions, "I have lived in Seoul for years now. 6 years.. perhaps.." she looked down and counted those years with her fingers under the table, "Yes.. 6 years.. I started living here since my first year college in Yonsei," she added

Jaehee nodded as a reply. Not a moment later, the waiter brought their coffee and cakes. She loved her butterscotch latte frappe, not only because of its visual – to be honest, she loved whipped cream added by choco granule at the top, best coffee ever – but the caramelized taste, mixed with butter and latte melted in her tongue. Not to mention her strawberry pancakes, it was so soft she almost wanted to sleep on it if it came up in big sized, as big as her bed.. Long story short, they were indeed so good.

"Hmm, you're right. It is very sweet. I think it's gonna be my favorite coffee thanks to you Jaehee-shi," Eun Ha said, smiling brightly

"I'm glad you like it - but more importantly, Eun Ha-shi,"

"Yeah?" Eun Ha asked curiously

"I'd like to ask you something before," Jaehee said with a stern face

"What is it?"

"I feel a bit curious about you," Jaehee said

"About me?"

"Yes.. You are going to spend your days in Rika's office tel from now on, and except you, no one can go near that place," she touched the handle of her latte, eyes looking down to her coffee, "It is quite the irony. We, who've worked with Rika cannot enter the place. And yet you are a complete stranger can stay there…" Jaehee explained

There were no changes in Jaehee's facial expression. Eun Ha couldn't guess what could be in her mind. Neither had any answer to Jaehee's statement.

"The office tel that you are in probably has all the documents relevant to what Rika did. But V told us last night not to open any drawers or computers. I wonder how you put up with Rika's position, hosting the party,"

Eun Ha understood Jaehee's concern as well. Her, being a stranger by the day, came to their organization, and suddenly asked to replace Rika, their last predecessor to host the party. It was a large shoes she had to fill in.

"I'm so sorry If I make you any discomfort Jaehee.." she looked down, "I never attend a party before, so I'm a little lost here. But I will do my very best to make this party happen. That I can promise to you," Eun Ha said, assuring Jaehee

"I like your confidence," Jaehee said, she let out a slight smile in her lips, "Well, let me explain to you about this party then,"

Eun Ha tried to listen carefully.

"Rika exchanged various emails with party guests at the office tel. As far as I know, she approved or declined guest depending on the theme of the party. That is… what you will be responsible of," Jaehee said

"Is the party grand? According to the last party, who are the guests if I could ask? And what's the benefit of the party again?" Eun Ha asked, unable to filter her questions

"Well, in terms of size, it is quite magnificent. But it is not only that. I think it will be meaningful that Rika's mission isn't hindered and continues on. Especially, I presume that V, who hasn't really been involved with the organization after Rika's death, will change. Currently, V is not really active in the organization. So, everyone is probably hoping for V to come back. Except for Yoosung," Jaehee said, her eyes turned into an undecipherable gaze

"Yoosung? Is there something wrong with them both? Are they not in a good term?" Eun Ha asked, curious

"That's not for me to explain. I believe you should hear it directly from them," Jaehee answered non chalantly sipped her coffee

"Okay, sorry," Eun Ha felt guilty for asking

"Ah, don't be," she put down her cup, "It's just, it's better for them to explain it to you directly," Jaehee said

"I see then," Eun Ha said, sipping her coffee once more, "Ah, one more question Jaehee-shi,"

"Yes?"

"How could I find the guest? I have no contacts at all. How can I invite the guest?"

"All of us will recommend the guests as time goes by. We will ask for your permission first if there were a guest in our mind. Of course, it's up to you to approve or decline our suggestion,"

"So, all I need to do is determining who the guests that could come to the party are. Is that correct?" Eun Ha asked

"Yes, that's correct. Do you think you could do that?" Jaehee made sure once again

"Yes. Believe in me! I think I could do that! Thank you for your explanation Jaehee. My mind has been cleansed now.." Eun Ha said, smiling more brightly than ever.

"Hmm, nothing makes my minds cleaner than watching Zen's DVD though.." Jaehee let out a small giggle

"Zen's DVDs? You have them? It was the musical right?" Eun Ha asked in disbelieve

"Yes," Jaehee answered, smiling brighter, "Do you like musical too?"

Jaehee looked a lot happier at the change topic of conversation. She seemed to transform into a high school girl who was after boybands members when they talked about Zen. Of course, Eun Ha could cooperate with Jaehee as she was also Zen's fans.

"Of course! I love musical! I never knew that you like musical as well.."

"Well, if you want to, I could lend you all Zen's DVD. I'm sure it would brighten your day.." Jaehee offered, smiling

"Wow, thank you so much Jaehee.. It would mean a lot! Like.. Literally mean a lot to me.."

Eun Ha felt the burden of becoming host started to disappear. She was glad enough she could meet someone like Zen one day. Not as a fan, but as a friend.

"No need to say that. I'm happy too that you appreciate Zen's work. But.. I have to say this to you right now. If you could, don't ever develop any feelings toward Zen. He is a celebrity, so scandals meant destruction to his career. I hope you understand what I mean," Jaehee said with a serious face

Eun Ha smiled.

"Well, no. I'm sure it's not like that. It is impossible for him to like me. We haven't even met. I like him as a fan only,"

Eun Ha smiled and gobbled her strawberry pancake. She lied. She had a crush on Zen even before she joined the organization. But for now, maybe she had to hide it. Like a mask that she needed to wear in her everyday's life.
