Secret Love for NCT

Yu Duona has always been cautious and well-behaved since joining the company, hoping only to pass her monthly evaluations and get a debut contract as soon as possible.

But, unfortunately, her wealthy single mother is a handful. Her goal is to arrange a marriage for Yu Duona as soon as she graduates from college.

Yu Duona has never felt much interest in romance, and she's at a loss. College is nearly over, and she still hasn't completed the assignment of getting a "boyfriend," let alone her mother's marriage plan. She could even lose her chance to be a trainee at the company.

To keep her mother happy, she went to dinner with her and a friend, only to find herself caught in a blind-date trap.

The parents chatted happily while their children were left playing the fools.

To her surprise, her blind date was none other than senior NCT member Jung Jaehyun, who worked at the same company.

Fortunately, she was just an ordinary trainee, and her senior didn't know who she was.

He was an idol, so surely he wouldn't let his parents decide something as important as marriage for him. Besides, he'd been a star for years and was surrounded by plenty of girls, so how could he really be "single"? Yu Duona figured her senior probably wasn't interested in her either. They exchanged numbers in front of their parents just to be polite, and that would probably be the end of it.

But a week later, just after class and on her way to practice, her senior, who'd been silent all this time, called to ask her to see a movie.

She asked a few classmates for their opinions. They said that exchanging phone numbers on a first blind date was something the adults had pressured them into, and that politely giving their numbers but not getting in touch afterward meant they weren't interested. But did asking her to see a movie a week later mean he was falling for her?

Yu Duona, a clueless newbie at work and in love, was baffled.

Xiao Qian, the resident gossip, had an answer: Maybe he really wanted to see that movie, but felt awkward going alone, so he just asked someone at random?

There are two ways to turn someone down: one is to reject them outright, and the other is to mess up the date and lower their opinion of you until they lose interest.
