Hanni didn't plan on being where she at right now.

She is looking out the window as they ride a mini bus on board to their destination.

It's the time of the year when their company sponsors a team-building event for all employees. It's something she looks forward to every year as it always involved fun activities and free food.

However, this year, their team building is accompanied by a new employee her best friend Danielle is infatuated with.

It was Danielle who wanted them to sit beside each other on the mini bus. It was too late when Hanni found out that Danielle's plan was to put her on the third wheel.

And now, Hanni's stuck with hearing the lovey-dovey couple beside her flirt whilst she sits there, pretending she's having the time of her life too.

"How many are you on your team again?" Danielle asked Minji.

"We're seven, including Heeseung," said Seulgi.

"What do you guys usually do during your free time? I'm curious, how does a group of artists like you bond?"

"Mmm, we're making fun of each other. The most common is editing someone's picture."

"Like?"

Minji chuckled as if she remembered something funny. "Like putting Heeseung's face on the body of a sexy-porn-star!"

Hanni couldn't stop herself from smiling while the two laughed as she could clearly imagine that picture. She feels bad somehow for eavesdropping, but she can't help overhearing the conversation because, well, the two are just beside her.

"How about yours, what do you guys do for fun?" it was Minji who asked this time.

"We usually play the game 'answer a question with a question'," said Danielle. "Someone asks a question and you just have to keep answering each other with questions."

"Wow. Sounds hard."

"Yeah, I'm always the one who loses first."

"Does everyone in your department take part in the game?"

"Yeah, everyone. We even form a circle to make it more fun."

"Well, it just seems to me you have some serious teammates in your department."

At this, Hanni side-glanced Danielle and Minji who looked at her too.

Danielle held Hanni's arm. "It may not seem like it but Hanni can be a jolly person."

"Oh really? I guess I haven't seen that side of her yet," said Minji.

Hanni raised an eyebrow and turns back around to look out the window. There's no way she's gonna fall for that. She's got nothing against Minji but she doesn't like to be branded as one of the newcomer's victims.

"You might see it sooner once you do a project together," said Danielle.

"I look forward to it, Danielle."

Hanni eyed Minji and saw the latter smirking. She responds with a glare.

Minji chuckled. "Hey, Ms. Pham, I think you'll be prettier if you'll add a little smile on your face."

It may or may not be an innocent comment. For all Hanni knows, Minji's just flirting with her like how she does with Danielle and all her other victims.

Although Hanni thinks that Minji has this certain charm, an irresistible charm, like a magnet that can make any female hormones go wild, she swore she isn't falling for it and won't join that fan club.
