Let Go (Hoseok X OC)

Chapter 10

Ray POV:

Ray woke early the next morning to get ready to go to the studio. She was curious as to why Hobi had invited her. She took a quick shower and let her long, light brown curls dry naturally. She dressed in ripped jeans and a bright pink t-shirt. Since fall was coming to Korea, she added a pink, black and white flannel shirt. She put on her shoes by the front door and grabbed her purse.

Ray headed down to wait for the car that was supposed to pick her up. Within minutes, a black SUV with dark tinted windows pulled up in front of Ray's building. A man in a dark suit and dark sunglasses stepped out of the vehicle and approached her.

"Ms. Ray?" he asked in halted English. Ray nodded. "I'm one of the boys' managers, Lee Jung Min. Hoseok sent me to pick you up. "Right this way Miss."

Ray was startled. Hoseok had said someone would be coming to get her. She didn't realize he was sending one of their managers. Ray followed Jung Min to the SUV and waited while he opened the passenger side door. Ray slid into vehicle and he shut the door. She put her seatbelt on as he got in on the driver's side.

The ride to the Big Hit building was fairly quick. Jung Min asked about her purpose in Korea. He raised an impressed brow when she mentioned she was studying architectural engineering. He pointed out some of the more impressive buildings in Seoul, understanding she would appreciate them.

Ray explained a bit about her current project and Jung Min listened with interest. He agreed that the Banpo Bridge was a stunning example of architecture and asked if she had gone out to see the lights yet.

"I have not yet," Ray replied. "Only the photos."

Jung Min nodded. "Should definitely see them in person. Beautiful and worthwhile."

"I will make sure I see it before I leave," Ray said.

Jung Min pulled into an underground parking garage at the Big Hit building and led Ray to an elevator. They took the elevator up to the lobby. Jung Min waved at the receptionists sitting at the desk and led Ray to another bank of elevators. He pushed the button for the desired floor and the elevator rose quietly.

When the doors opened, Hoseok was leaning against the wall. He had on a dark blue shirt and pair of black joggers. Ray noticed the light sheen of sweat on his forehead and his hair was damp. Clearly they had already been working hard. Jung Min and Ray stepped out of the elevator and Hoseok rushed over to them, stopping directly in front of Ray.

Hoseok stood there for a moment, before reaching out and taking her hand. "Wow," he said. "You look beautiful."

Ray giggled at his response. "Thank you," she replied.

Hoseok blushed and let her hand go. "I mean... I only ever see you at the restaurant in your uniform with your hair tied back."

"Thank you for inviting me. I've never seen a dance practice before," Ray said.

Hoseok smiled. "I'm glad you came," he took her hand again to lead her into the studio.

Before they left, Jung Min stopped her. "It was nice to meet you, Ms. Ray. Good luck on your project."

Ray thanked him and turned to Hoseok, who had a frown on his face.

"What project?" he asked.

"My engineering project. I had to choose a structure or building in Korea for an analysis. Your manager asked me what I was doing in Korea and I explained about my current project. He was very helpful when I explained I had chosen the Banpo Bridge. He mentioned I needed to see it at night," Ray explained.
