"Haruno!"

Someone from the wardrobe staff called as Ran walked across the lobby of the AN Entertainment building. She was going to President Ahn's office to pick up the final documents he signed before going on the road with Kim Han Ji.

"You're going up? Can you bring this to the boys for me? They're in the studio. Thanks a lot!"

The staff member handed four hangers holding outfits for the ANJELL members. Ran took it without question and resumed her walking, now carrying the pieces of clothing.

"I wonder how they're able to move around on stage with clothes this heavy on them," she thought aloud as she climbed the stairs.

"It's kind of hard," said a man's voice from a few steps below. "But I guess you get used to it and soon it doesn't bother you anymore."

Shin Woo was going up the stairs, looking at Ran and smiling.

"Kang Shin Woo-sshi," she greeted, bowing.

"Can I help you with that?" Shin Woo said.

Being the typical gentleman that he was, he gestured for Ran to give him the clothes.

"Th – this?" said a confused Ran, looking at the clothes she was carrying. Shin Woo nodded. "W – well, I can bring them up on my own. I mean – it's alright – "

"I'm going to wear them, so I think it's alright if I bring them up," Shin Woo insisted, reaching for the hangers and taking them. "It's not even your job to do this."

Ran stared a bit at the ANJELL guitarist, surprised at the comment.

"Actually, I was part of the wardrobe staff before," she said, looking back down at the lobby.

"Liar," said Shin Woo suddenly, so that Ran did a double take. "I know you're a member of the sound tech team."

"Sorry," Ran replied sheepishly. "I just didn't want it to sound like I was complaining – "

Shin Woo laughed quietly.

"I'm not thinking that," he said, still smiling. "I think you're a great employee and your promotion could only mean better for ANJELL."

They had reached the corridor where they were supposed to go in different directions.

"Thank you for taking the clothes, Shin Woo-sshi," Ran bowed once more.

"No problem," he said, smiling again. "Ya, I have your marker," he added, remembering. "I have it at home."

He then turned around, put the clothes coolly over his shoulder, and walked down the corridor to the studio. Ran stared for a while and smiled to herself, before proceeding to her initial task.

"Hyung! What took you so long?" said Jeremy from behind the drum set as Shin Woo entered the room. "And why are you the one bringing our clothes?"

"I met the staff on my way here," he answered, setting the cloths down on an empty seat.

"The staff?" said Hwang Tae Kyung, smirking. "Or the new assistant manager?"

Shin Woo gave Tae Kyung a puzzled look.

"I saw you talking to her after the meeting last night," Tae Kyung explained, turning back to his guitar but still smirking. "What do you think of her?"

"Eh, Ran-unni?" Go Mi Nam piped up. The three boys stared at her. "What?"

"You're not supposed to call her 'unni'!" Tae Kyung almost yelled.

"Why? We talked earlier this morning, and she's really nice! We're quite close already," Mi Nam answered sweetly.

"You're supposed to call her 'noona,'" said Shin Woo, grinning at Mi Nam's error.

"Oh, yeah," agreed Jeremy, laughing and catching on. "Because you're supposed to be a guy!"

"Oh~" said Mi Nam vaguely.

"Don't tell me you called her 'unni' in person?" asked Tae Kyung in an offensive tone again.

"N – no, Hyung-nim!"

Ran sighed as she looked up at the sky from the balcony of the AN Entertainment building. It was almost noon, but the sun was barely visible through the grey clouds that threatened to pour heavy rain any moment.

"Haruno Ran, why did you ever decide to come here?" she said to herself. It had been four years since she came to Korea.

She was half Korean, but had never been to the country. Her mother passed away when she was in high school, so that she never had the chance to visit.

"Why would you need to go there?" Ran's father asked when she said she wanted to see Korea. "We're fine as we are here. There's no need to go someplace else."

Her friends called her insane, and everyone thought it was a mundane reason, but Ran decided to go to Korea to meet her favorite band, ANJELL. One thing led to another, though, and things did not go exactly as planned, so that she ended up being employed by AN Entertainment. She got to see ANJELL occasionally, but had to keep her fan girl urges to herself.

"Ran, the boys are going out for lunch before going to the TV studio. They need someone to drive the van," a member of the PR team spoke from the doorway, shaking Ran out of her reverie.

Ran took a deep breath before turning to the co-employee, smiling, and nodding.

"You're driving us?" Hwang Tae Kyung asked obnoxiously as they boarded the official ANJELL van, Ran already sitting in the driver's seat.

"Uh, yes," Ran answered softly. "Is – is there a problem?"

"Tae Kyung doesn't trust female drivers," Shin Woo said from the seat behind her, smiling encouragingly.

"I suppose Hyung will have to deal with it this time!" Jeremy said, laughing.

"For an assistant manager, you're pretty much all around," Tae Kyung said.

"I just take assignments as I go," Ran replied, smiling. "There was no specific list of responsibilities when they hired me."

"Ya, Ran-un – Ran-noona!" Go Mi Nam corrected herself as the three gave looks of panic at what she was about to say. "You're from Japan, aren't you?''

"Yes."

"What's it like there?" Jeremy asked.

"Well, each place is unique. There's something new everywhere," Ran said, fondly thinking of her hometown. "Ah, Kim Han Ji-sshi is there now?"

Jeremy nodded happily and sat back in his seat, looking out the window and smiling.

When they got to the restaurant, Ran stopped but did not kill the engine of the van.

"Why aren't you turning the engine off?" Tae Kyung questioned, not getting off yet.

"I'm just going to, well, drive around while you eat. I'll pick you up when you're done," Ran explained the protocol of drivers of celebrities.

"Ya, Ran-noona," Mi Nam said. "Why don't you just join us and eat here!"

"That sounds good!" Jeremy agreed.

Ran was almost convinced, but she spotted something funny. Shin Woo was staring at Tae Kyung questioningly, while the latter stared back with a taunting grin. Tae Kyung then turned to Ran with the same mischievous smile and spoke.

"You're worrying if Shin Woo is okay with you having lunch with us," he merely stated, not asking. "It doesn't matter, as three of us already agree. But then – "

Tae Kyung opened the door and started to get off the vehicle, all the while a smirk on his lips.

"I doubt he would oppose the idea."

I know it's an awfully short chapter. T_T I'm working on it. Will hopefully deal out juicier chapters very, very soon. Please hang on. LOL XD Give me ideaaaaaaas~ Hit that review button for me and tell me what you think! Kamsahamnida! :D
