On 6:40 PM, Red Velvet and their managers arrive at the dinner venue. Eric greet them at the entrance along with his secretary

"Good evening everyone" Eric said

"Good evening Mr. Daniel"

"We wait here for a while then we enter with our boss. They are on the way"

"Okay"

Few minutes later, black luxury car stop in front of entrance. A man around his 30's come out from driver seat and opens the back door while Yoona get out of the front seat and open the door behind her. Seeing both door are open, they assume that Ayden not come alone. The managing director wearing black suit that make him look really handsome than usual. Ayden always look good in formal outfit. Wendy secretly smiles seeing Ayden that she missed so much. Up till now, it has been a month they practically parting way. She always tries to reach him but Ayden keep giving excuse that makes their text or conversation not last longer. Her smile fade away when she saw Ayden holding hand with a gorgeous woman that comes with him. That woman smile to Ayden tenderly. Unknown to Wendy, the other members are also curious seeing Ayden with that girl. Everyone try to think positive that Ayden never deceive them before.

Eric step forward to greet the boss "Good evening Mr. Samuel and Ms. Tiffany"

"Good evening"

"Tiff, this is a kpop girl group that appointed as our endorser. They are Red Velvet" Ayden introducing the girls to Tiffany

"Good evening girls" Tiffany flashing big smile to them

"Good evening Ms. Tiffany"

"Girls, this is Ms. Tiffany Hwang from Platinum Global USA"

"Nice to meet you Ms. Tiffany"

"Nice to meet you all too and I hope we can have talk sometimes. I'm fans of kpop too" Tiffany said to the girls. They surprise seeing her so friendly because she look cold when first time they saw her soon as she get out of the car

"Sir, we have to go inside now" said Eric

"Alright, let'go"

While they are walking inside, Tiffany linking her arms with Ayden. She looked so clingy to him and Ayden also treat her kindly. The girls ride same elevator with Tiffany, Ayden and Eric while the secretaries and managers take another elevator

The ride is silent until Tiffany break it "Ayden, do you feel better now?" Tiffany sound worry

"I'm fine now, don't worry" Ayden cough a bit and his breathe quite heavy due to runny nose

"If you not feel well, I can deliver speech on your behalf" Tiffany concerned

"Tiff, I'm fine. The speech won't take long. Don't worry, okay?"

Tiffany sigh in defeat "You always stubborn"

"Sorry"

Tiffany turn to Eric who stand behind them "Eric, can you buy painkiller for Mr. Samuel after the event? He runs out of meds"

"Sure, I will do it later"

"Thanks Eric and tomorrow come early to his place we will bring him to clinic"

"Noted"

"I don't want to go" Ayden said lowly but everyone still can hear

"No objection little Samuel or I will tell your mom that you're sick then she will fly here by tomorrow" Tiffany threatened

Elevator door open and they step out of it. The guest at the hall stands up soon as they enter the big door. Since they are VIP, they share same table with Ayden, Tiffany and Eric. Wendy and Ayden sit across to each other that make both of them often exchange glance. She is looking at Ayden with worry and questioning eyes while the guy eyes look empty and fill with hurt. Ayden smile to her but it not as gentle as before.

Wendy noticed that Ayden practically glare at her from the start and he not focus on whatever happen on stage. His expression is not please seeing her. She tried to avoid his gaze but she still can see him on her peripheral vision. Few while later, Ayden grab his phone from the table and text someone. His face still looks serious like earlier. Wendy feels very uncomfortable because of that glare.

While she still trying to make herself focus on the event, someone tapped her shoulder from behind. She turn around and see Yoona holding a familiar leather jacket. The cologne scent that become her favorite also very noticeable especially by someone beside her

"Wear this" Yoona whisper to her then she return to her table after give the jacket to Wendy

She proceed to draped the jacket on her exposed shoulder and sit comfortably again. She also relieved that Ayden stop giving her cold glare. She know the others noticed the interaction between her and Yoona but they ignore it

Her phone vibrated distracting her and she check the text. It is text from Ayden

That dress is too revealing! Don't wear it anymore! Don't ever take off that jacket until you go home. Just wear it when you perform later!

Finally Wendy know the reason behind murderous glare from Ayden. He not pleased seeing Wendy wearing the dress that is too revealing to his liking. Wendy typing a reply to him

Okay, I'm sorry for choosing this dress tonight. Thanks for concerned. I miss you

From corner of her eyes, she can see Ayden secretly smile reading her text but he not replies anymore after that. It sad but at least she know Ayden still care about her

The event is going well and successfully. The guest leaving the hall after the event end and same goes to Ayden and Tiffany. The eye-smile girl insisted to go home quickly because Ayden condition is not really good due to his fever. They just bid short goodbye to the girls before leaving the hall

Wendy and her members walk out to the entrance and waiting for their manager to get their car from the parking lot. Eric show up from somewhere and greet them with big smile

"Hey girl"

"Hey oppa" they giggling as usual

"Thanks for coming tonight and the performances are really awesome. I'm your fans now"

"Thanks for compliment, oppa" Seulgi said

"Our guest also enjoying your performance and they look like can't get enough hearing your voice"

"Sometime we have to leave thing hanging so that they will curious" Yeri smirk evilly

Eric looking at Yeri amusingly "I should tell Ayden to stop spoiling you. You're such a bad kid now"

"Oppa, don't do that" Yeri whining

"Eric, what happen to Ayden? Is he sick?" Wendy asking worriedly

"He didn't tell you?"

"No"

"He is fever since yesterday and flu too but don't want to go to hospital. Tiffany ask him to rest at home but he don't listen. I guess tomorrow also with have few series of argument before we go to hospital. Tiffany is scary but still can't break Ayden stubbornness"

"Is he that afraid of hospital?"

"He hates hospital and meds"

"Aigooo"

"I guess he only listen to you"

"I don't think so" Wendy said awkwardly

"Hey, I saw Yoona give you jacket earlier. Is it from him?" Eric change the topic

Wendy blushing a bit "Yes, he said my dress is revealing so he ask me to wear this"

"Protective" Eric and the girls cackle

"You guys don't make fun of me" Wendy whine "I thought no one know this is his jacket"

"The jacket scent is so familiar and strong" Joy said

"I sit quite far from you also can smell it" said Irene

"That jacket also very familiar so no doubt" Eric added

"Alright, you all win"

"Oppa, our ride is here so we got to go" Seulgi pointed at their van who just stopped in front of them

"Okay take care, girls. Goodnight"

"Goodnight oppa"

When they arrive at dorm, everyone go to their own room since the time is late and they are tired too. After change to her pajama, Wendy throw herself to her bed and decide to call Ayden to check his condition. It take a bit longer for Ayden to answer and Wendy thought he is sleeping but then his voice can be heard

"Hello" – Ayden

"Hello Aaron, am I disturbing you?" – Wendy

"No" – Ayden

"How are you now? Have you taken your medicine?" – Wendy

"Yes, Eric give me meds just now before he leave to his house" – Ayden

"Okay, why you not telling me you're sick? You don't want me to care about you anymore?" – Wendy

"I don't want to trouble you" – Ayden

"You're never troubling me. You never tell me what you are doing lately, are you don't want me anymore?" – Wendy

"I'm sorry Wen" – Ayden

"For what?" – Wendy

"For everything, for making you worry, for not telling your that I'm sick" – Ayden

"It's okay; I don't take it to my heart. Tomorrow please go to clinic with Eric and Ms. Tiffany, okay? Don't be stubborn. I don't want you to get sick and don't go to office tomorrow. Just rest at home" – Wendy

"Okay Wen, I will be good" – Ayden

"Alright, I'm sorry because I can't visit you. I'm busy tomorrow" – Wendy

"It okay" – Ayden

"You should rest now, goodnight" – Wendy

"Goodnight" – Ayden

That night, Wendy sleeps while hugging Ayden's jacket. The scent makes her miss him more
