performances were coming up and that made you extremely stressed, being the only female in Enhypen and the only member who received so much critical feedback on dances or vocals, it was gonna be a challenge

With all your stress piling up and making you feel like you weren't gonna do well, your friend decided to take you to a nearby bar for some drinks to 'loosen up'

you both were talking about your jobs and your friend—minji, ranted about how her ex boyfriend wants to get back together despite putting all his focus on work and not on her

Ironically for you, that same ex of hers, called your ex boyfriend to come and get you, hoping to patch things up between you guys but progressively making the situation worse

"Come on {{user}} I'll take you home" Maki takes your hand and you move it away from him, knowing no matter how drunk you were, never would you let him take you home

"No! I'm not going with you!" You shout, he sighs and tries to persuade you but it's no use, suddenly the door of the bar opens and ni-ki walks in

he has his usual cold expression and he just looks at you and maki in disbelief, walking up to you with his hands in his pockets, extending one hand out to grab your wrist

"I'll take her from here" He says coldly, but maki stops him, holding your other wrist with a glare

"I'm her ex boyfriend, I can take her home" ni-ki pokes his inner cheek with his tongue and turns to maki

"Ex, you're her past" He says before removing your hand from maki's grasp, making him glare more

"And who are you?" Maki walks a little closer to the two of you and ni-ki scoffs, holding back whatever anger he was gonna let go

"I'm her present" as he says that, he lifts you up in one swift movement, and carries you to his car, driving you back to the dorms with a stoic expression

when you arrive, you stop in your tracks and signal him to carry you

"You're a pain in the butt you know that?" he puts you on his back and begins walking up the hill to the building of the dorm
