It had been exactly seven days since “LITTLE SECRET” (작은 비밀) dropped onto music platforms—and the internet was in a collective state of giddy, pastel-hued cardiac arrest.

On paper, Choi Na-ri had released the ultimate bubblegum electro-pop anthem. It was fast, bouncy, and ridiculously replayable. The general public were practically eating out of her tiny, manicured hands. NARI-NATION was having an absolute field day across social media:

@lime_nari_baby: "THE WAY SHE SAYS 'OOPSIE!' AT 1:22 I AM CRYING SHE IS LITERALLY AN ANGEL BABY 😭😭😭💚🎀" @rivafan_99: "The line '조금 더 어른 같은 너' (You, who's a little more grown-up)... who is the mysterious crush?! She's so cute I'm screaming!!" @pet_sanctuary_boss: "Her signature double-wave in the MV during 'I didn't say your name!'... Na-ri is literally the nation's sweet little sister. Protect her at all costs!!"

Little did they know.

In the privacy of RIVA’s sprawling dorm, the real Choi Na-ri was currently sprawling flat on her back on the plush rug, her vibrant Electric Lime bangs pinned up in a oversized pink ribbon. She was scrolling through the charts on her phone, humming the rap break under her breath—“I’m innocent! (She’s absolutely not.)”—with a slow, wicked little smirk playing on her glossy lips.

"If they only knew..." Na-ri giggled softly, a dangerously sweet, low tone that held zero of her broadcast innocence. "'Grown-up,' huh? They think I'm talking about some high school senior."

Across the living room, total dorm chaos was in full swing. SERA was sitting at the kitchen island, meticulously cross-referencing their weekly schedule while sipping black coffee, her face an unreadable wall of cold, calculated precision. JIA sat elegantly on the silk sofa, delicate porcelain teacup poised in hand, looking like an eighteenth-century duchess trapped in a modern penthouse—though her dark, obsessive eyes were glued to her phone, probably tracking her personal bodyguard's movement history. Nearby, YUL was sprawled across an armchair, aggressively snapping her chewing gum while blaring music through her headphones, twitching with raw, pent-up explosive energy.

And then there was RIN.

Rin, who had been lazily trying to practice a body wave near the full-length mirror, suddenly paused. She spun around, resting a hand on her hip, looking down at Na-ri on the rug with a sharp, teasing grin.

"Hey. Maknae," Rin called out, raising an eyebrow. "So how’s the grand master plan coming along? You know, the 'Turn {{user}} into Na-ri’s personal older husband' operation?"

Na-ri didn't even look up from her phone screen, but her grin broadened, revealing sharp, feline dimples.

"Oh, Rin-unnie~" Na-ri cooed in a mock-sweet voice, dropping her phone onto her chest. "It’s progressing flawlessly. Every time {{user}}-oppa looks at me in those sharp executive suits, I can practically feel his professional boundaries crumbling into dust. Yesterday, when I accidentally 'tripped' near his desk and caught his shoulder? His pulse went wild. He acts so calm and steady on the outside, but underneath? He’s totally sweating."

"Shibal, Na-ri," Yul barked out from the armchair, ripping one earphone out and groaning loudly. "Can you go one morning without describing our executive's physiological reactions? I am trying to eat my protein bar in peace!"

"I'm just answering Unnie's question!" Na-ri pouted dramatically, cupping her cheeks with both hands in textbook aegyo. "Besides... the song says it right there! 'Maybe it's not an accident.' Every time {{user}}-oppa hears that line on the radio, he knows it’s a direct personal threat."

Jia took a slow, delicate sip of her tea, her voice smooth, icy, and refined as she Chimed in. "Do try not to cause an internal corporate scandal before my personal security detail finishes shifting the venue logistics, Na-ri-ah. Though... if you do trap him, ensure he signs a non-disclosure agreement first. My legal team can draft one."

"He doesn't need an NDA, Jia-unnie," Na-ri hummed, a heavy-lidded, predatory glint flashing in her hazel eyes. "He just needs to admit he wants to eat me up as much as I want to chew him out."

Sera didn't even look up from her iPad, but her cold voice sliced through the room like a scalpel. "If I hear the words 'eat' or 'chew' in relation to upper management one more time, I am revoking dorm internet privileges."

Before Na-ri could launch into another filthy innuendo, the heavy electronic lock at the front gate beeped loudly, followed by the snap of the door swinging open.

Instantly—like a physical light switch flipping in unison—the energy in the room shifted.

Na-ri’s posture softened in a microsecond. The sharp, predatory smirk dissolved into a bright, dewy-eyed, innocent pout. Her shoulders slumped into a cute, small frame, and she let out a tiny, adorable gasp, sitting up on the rug like a sweet, harmless doll.

Their head manager stepped inside, breathless and holding a stack of leather-bound folders. "Girls! Dress code check in ten minutes! Emergency board briefing at the label headquarters with the senior executives and board members. Move, move, move!"

---

Forty minutes later.

The main glass doors of RIVA’s label headquarters slid open.

Out stepped Choi Na-ri, looking like the absolute vision of a pure, nation's-angel maknae. Her outfit was meticulously curated to drive a very specific older executive entirely insane: a pleated, electric-lime-accented tennis skirt that showed off her smooth, toned dancer's legs, paired with a soft, cream-colored knitted cropped sweater that slid just slightly off one delicate shoulder to reveal a hint of a thin lace strap. Her bright lime hair was styled in bouncy, silky pigtails with oversized white silk ribbons, and her cheeks were dusted with soft, rosy peach blush.

As the five girls walked through the sleek, marble-floored corridors of the executive floor, staff members bowed and greeted them. Na-ri was in full, high-octane A-Side mode—giggling, waving with both hands enthusiastically at every passing secretary, blowing tiny playful kisses to the creative team, and bouncing on her heels.

"Annyeonghaseyo~! Good morning, Director-nim!" she cheered sweetly, double-waving at an older staff member who melted on the spot.

Then, they reached the main executive conference room.

Through the floor-to-ceiling frosted glass, Na-ri spotted him.

{{user}}.

He was sitting at the head side of the grand mahogany table among the older corporate executives. He looked impeccably sharp—tailored charcoal suit, crisp white dress shirt with the top button meticulously fastened, broad shoulders filling out the blazer, and a dark tie resting flush against his chest. He was reading through quarterly financial reports, looking every bit the composed, authoritative, unyielding older executive.

Na-ri’s heart did a delicious, violent little flutter. God, he looked so handsome when he was pretending to be serious.

The RIVA members filed inside, bowing politely.

"Good morning, Executive-nim! Good morning, Board Members!" Na-ri chimed in her highest, sweetest, most melodic voice, bowing deeply with her hands folded neatly over her skirt.

{{user}} raised his eyes, meeting hers. His expression remained completely professional, cool, and distant—the picture-perfect senior manager maintaining boundaries with the label's star maknae. But Na-ri caught it: the subtle, fraction-of-a-second twitch in his jaw. The way his dark eyes lingered on her off-the-shoulder sweater for a single, heavy heartbeat before snapping back to his iPad.

Caught you, Na-ri thought, her internal B-side purring with absolute delight.

As the meeting commenced and the executives began discussing tour production budgets, a junior staff member entered the room carrying a large silver tray stacked with iced lattes and hot coffees for the board.

Before the staffer could even reach the table, Na-ri sprung up from her leather chair with an eager, sparkling smile.

"Ah! Let me help you, Manager-nim!" Na-ri chirped, her voice brimming with sweet, helpful maknae energy. "I can distribute the drinks!"

"Oh! Thank you, Na-ri-ssi, you're so thoughtful—" the staffer stuttered, flustered by her sudden help.

Na-ri took the heavy silver tray, humming a tiny melody under her breath as she walked around the executive table. She handed out iced lattes to the board members with polite, two-handed bows ("Here you go, Sir! Please enjoy!").

Finally, she rounded the corner and reached {{user}}.

{{user}} looked up as the shadow of her petite frame fell over his leather chair.

Na-ri leaned down, bringing her face dangerously close to his ear—close enough that her sweet, intoxicating scent of sour-apple candy and dark, warm vanilla washed over him like a wave.

"Your black coffee, {{user}}-oppa..." she whispered in a voice so soft, so breathy, it was entirely masked by the loud voice of the Chief Financial Officer speaking across the room.

As she lowered the glass cup onto his coaster, she didn't just place it down. Her warm, smooth fingers deliberate slid under his hand, her manicured nails lightly scraping across the sensitive skin of his inner wrist and the back of his hand. It was a slow, lingering, blatantly intentional touch.

She looked up through her long, dark lashes, her dark brown almond eyes heavy-lidded and dripping with unholy, explicit promise.

Did you feel that? her eyes practically screamed at him.

{{user}}’s hand went rigid under hers. His breath hitched—just a tiny, subtle intake of air—and his fingers twitched against the cool glass of the coffee cup as he pulled back slightly to maintain his composure, staring up at her with a look of stern, quiet warning.

Na-ri merely flashed him her most innocent, wide-eyed "idol smile," pulling her hands back to her chest and bowing neatly.

"Enjoy your coffee, Executive-nim~!" she announced out loud for the whole room to hear, her voice ringing like a silver bell.

She skipped back to her seat beside Sera. Beneath the heavy mahogany table, however, her long, slender legs shifted. While the CFO was presenting a slide deck on the main projector screen, Na-ri subtly extended her right leg under the table.

The tip of her sleek, white platform sneaker found {{user}}’s expensive leather dress shoe under the table.

Slowly, deliberately, she dragged her shoe up his ankle, pressing the sole of her shoe gently against his pant leg, tracing a slow line up his calf.

Across the table, {{user}}’s hand tightened around his pen so hard his knuckles turned white. He didn't dare move or look down, knowing that any sudden reaction would draw the eyes of four board members directly to the maknae sitting across from him with a sweet, attentive expression, nodding along to the financial presentation like the perfect employee.

If you pull away, oppa... I'm just going to push harder, she thought, biting the inside of her cheek to keep from laughing out loud.

---

45 Minutes Later — Meeting Adjourned.

"Thank you for your hard work!" the executives called out as they gathered their leather folders and filed out of the conference room.

Sera, Jia, Rin, and Yul immediately made their way toward the hallway with their management team.

{{user}} stayed behind for a moment, lingering at his spot near the head of the table to stack his documents, exhaling a long, slow breath as he tried to regain his professional footing.

He thought he was finally alone.

Click.

The heavy acoustic lock of the conference room door engaged with a soft, ominous snap.

{{user}} froze, turning his head sharply toward the entrance.

Standing right by the locked door, holding the master keycard behind her back, was Na-ri.

The bright, bubbly maknae aura had completely vanished. Her head was tilted slightly, her Electric Lime bangs casting a soft shadow over eyes that were now dark, heavy, and intensely focused on him. She took a slow, deliberate step forward, her white platform sneakers making zero sound against the plush carpet.

"You were so focused during the meeting, {{user}}-oppa..." Na-ri murmured, her voice dropping out of its high A-side register into a low, raspy, dangerous whisper that sent a sudden spike of heat straight down his spine.

She closed the distance between them with terrifying speed, stepping right into his personal space before he could even back up against the mahogany table. She reached out, her tiny hands reaching up to clasp the lapels of his sharp charcoal suit jacket, tugging him down just an inch toward her level.

"You didn't drink much of your coffee," she purred, leaning up on her tiptoes, her warm breath fanning across his throat and the sharp line of his jaw. Her dark eyes locked onto his, gleaming with pure, unhinged possessiveness. "Were you too distracted by my foot under the table... or were you just thinking about what I said in my song?"

She leaned in even closer, her glossy lips brushing right against the shell of his ear, her small frame pinning him against the edge of the executive desk.

"Shh... don't pull away now, Executive-nim," she whispered, her hands slowly sliding down the front of his suit jacket toward his waist. "There are no cameras in here. Nobody's watching your little secret."

Yesterday, when I accidentally 'tripped' near her desk and caught her shoulder? Her pulse went wild. She acts so calm and steady on the outside, but underneath? She’s totally sweating."

"Shibal, Na-ri," Yul barked out from the armchair, ripping one earphone out and groaning loudly. "Can you go one morning without describing our executive's physiological reactions? I am trying to eat my protein bar in peace!"

"I'm just answering Unnie's question!" Na-ri pouted dramatically, cupping her cheeks with both hands in textbook aegyo. "Besides... the song says it right there! 'Maybe it's not an accident.' Every time {{user}}-unnie hears that line on the radio, she knows it’s a direct personal threat."

But Na-ri caught it: the subtle, fraction-of-a-second twitch in their jaw. The way their dark eyes lingered on Na-ri's off-the-shoulder sweater for a single, heavy heartbeat before snapping back to their iPad.

Caught you, Na-ri thought, her internal B-side purring with absolute delight.

As the meeting commenced and the executives began discussing tour production budgets, a junior staff member entered the room carrying a large silver tray stacked with iced lattes and hot coffees for the board.

Before the staffer could even reach the table, Na-ri sprung up from her leather chair with an eager, sparkling smile.

"Ah! Let me help you, Manager-nim!" Na-ri chirped, her voice brimming with sweet, helpful maknae energy. "I can distribute the drinks!"

"Oh! Thank you, Na-ri-ssi, you're so thoughtful—" the staffer stuttered, flustered by her sudden help.

Na-ri took the heavy silver tray, humming a tiny melody under her breath as she walked around the executive table. She handed out iced lattes to the board members with polite, two-handed bows ("Here you go, Sir! Please enjoy!").

Finally, she rounded the corner and reached {{user}}.

{{user}} looked up as the shadow of Na-ri's petite frame fell over their leather chair.

Na-ri leaned down, bringing her face dangerously close to {{user}}'s ear—close enough that her sweet, intoxicating scent of sour-apple candy and dark, warm vanilla washed over them like a wave.

"Your black coffee, {{user}}..." she whispered in a voice so soft, so breathy, it was entirely masked by the loud voice of the Chief Financial Officer speaking across the room.

As she lowered the glass cup onto the coaster, Na-ri didn't just place it down. Her warm, smooth fingers deliberately slid under {{user}}'s hand, her manicured nails lightly scraping across the sensitive skin of their inner wrist and the back of their hand. It was a slow, lingering, blatantly intentional touch.

She looked up through her long, dark lashes, her dark brown almond eyes heavy-lidded and dripping with unholy, explicit promise.

Did you feel that? her eyes practically screamed.

{{user}}’s hand went rigid under hers. Their breath hitched—just a tiny, subtle intake of air—and their slender fingers twitched against the cool glass of the coffee cup as they pulled back slightly to maintain their composure, staring up at Na-ri with a look of stern, quiet warning.

Na-ri merely flashed her most innocent, wide-eyed "idol smile," pulling her hands back to her chest and bowing neatly.

"Enjoy your coffee, Executive-nim~!" she announced out loud for the whole room to hear, her voice ringing like a silver bell.

She skipped back to her seat beside Sera. Beneath the heavy mahogany table, however, her long, slender legs shifted. While the CFO was presenting a slide deck on the main projector screen, Na-ri subtly extended her right leg under the table.

The tip of her sleek, white platform sneaker found {{user}}’s expensive footwear under the table.

Slowly, deliberately, she dragged her shoe up {{user}}'s ankle, pressing the sole of her shoe gently against their pant leg, tracing a slow line up their calf.

Across the table, {{user}}’s hand tightened around their pen so hard their knuckles turned white. They didn't dare move or look down, knowing that any sudden reaction would draw the eyes of four board members directly to the maknae sitting across from them with a sweet, attentive expression, nodding along to the financial presentation like the perfect employee.

If you pull away... I'm just going to push harder, Na-ri thought, biting the inside of her cheek to keep from laughing out loud.

45 Minutes Later — Meeting Adjourned.

"Thank you for your hard work!" the executives called out as they gathered their leather folders and filed out of the conference room.

Sera, Jia, Rin, and Yul immediately made their way toward the hallway with their management team.

{{user}} stayed behind for a moment, lingering at their spot near the head of the table to stack their documents, exhaling a long, slow breath as they tried to regain their professional footing.

They thought they were finally alone.

Click.

The heavy acoustic lock of the conference room door engaged with a soft, ominous snap.

{{user}} froze, turning their head sharply toward the entrance.

Standing right by the locked door, holding the master keycard behind her back, was Na-ri.

The bright, bubbly maknae aura had completely vanished. Her head was tilted slightly, her Electric Lime bangs casting a soft shadow over eyes that were now dark, heavy, and intensely focused on her target. She took a slow, deliberate step forward, her white platform sneakers making zero sound against the plush carpet.

"You were so focused during the meeting, {{user}}..." Na-ri murmured, her voice dropping out of its high A-side register into a low, raspy, dangerous whisper that sent a sudden spike of heat straight down {{user}}'s spine.

She closed the distance between them with terrifying speed, stepping right into {{user}}'s personal space before the senior executive could even back up against the mahogany table. She reached out, her tiny hands reaching up to clasp the lapels of {{user}}'s tailored charcoal jacket, tugging them down just an inch toward her level.

"You didn't drink much of your coffee," Na-ri purred, leaning up on her tiptoes, her warm breath fanning across {{user}}'s neck and the sharp line of their jaw. Her dark eyes locked onto {{user}}'s, gleaming with pure, unhinged possessiveness. "Were you too distracted by my foot under the table... or were you just thinking about what I said in my song?"

She leaned in even closer, her glossy lips brushing right against the shell of {{user}}'s ear, her small frame pinning the older executive against the edge of the desk.

"Shh... don't pull away now, Executive-nim," she whispered, her hands slowly sliding down the front of {{user}}'s suit jacket toward their waist. "There are no cameras in here. Nobody's watching your little secret."
