Every day, I sprout up at the thought of you
Small emotions start to bud
Suddenly, deep inside of me, you started to grow

"Mina, just tell them", the young man from the back said and for once more in that day a surprise hit me. Because he stood in the dark corner without a chair I didn’t pay much attention to him. My attention was captivated by the two officers who wanted to get as much information as they could from me. In a way I didn’t blame them, they were doing their job after all. If innocents were harmed in the process of catching a bigger evil, that was an acceptable price to pay. Of course, as long as none involved are hurt. The look in Park Choong Jae’s eyes didn’t give me the security I was going to get out of this room unharmed.

Recognizing his voice and eyes as he came closer to the table, I just had the sudden feeling of crushing my head on the nearest wall. It was Chanyeol. So he's doing his practice in the police in this period. No wonder I didn't see him at university that often. Now I looked at him in hope he could help in this situation. He helped me in the past, God I hope he’ll do it once again. In the end we were friends.

"Mina, it's okay, just name the persons involved in this", he added.

Are you crazy, I thought still keeping my mouth shut. Those persons involved were our friends, not to mention my brother, he should have known that. Whose side was he on? Ignoring my aching heart, I remember he didn't grow up together with us, he didn't have the same affection towards the boys as I did, and as we all did among ourselves. But still, he was one of them, boys create bonds just like girls do. Didn't that mean anything to him? He might as well have worked undercover. He'll get such a good grade if he makes a catch like this.

"I maintain my position", I stated and saw how Chanyeol's jaw clenched in anger. The other two officers said they were going to give me some time to think before visiting me again and exited the room. Chanyeol lingered around more but didn't say anything. Anger was gathering up in my soul as I couldn't tell for sure if Chanyeol won't benefit from this situation. He turned his back on me, literally and headed towards the door.

"You were there too, when we had fun, you knew we don't have anything to do with it", I said to him, convinced those were the final words I was going to tell here and praying to God they were enough to trigger something in that cold heart. He couldn't turn his back on us, he participated in all our activities, if things go wrong I'll declare he is an accomplice as well. And if I really have to, I'll personally search in his dorm for that colorful and silly pajama. I know he has it somewhere.

"It doesn't matter", he said and the urge to throw the chair in his head was enormous. If I have to stay here, might as well be here for a real reason. Never thought someone else than Sehun could make me a criminal, much less my eternal love, Chanyeol. Guess nothing lasts forever. And he dares to say all of my friends don't matter. As if they weren't the ones who were kind to him and helped him with his staying here since day one.

"What were you thinking?", he added. Man, the wrinkles he was making, he'll see the effects of his frowning in some years. He was still somehow cute.

"You don't really want to know", I mumbled.

"Just what is in that head of yours?", Chanyeol began shouting and I started debating if the chair was going to be used for protecting and not attacking. "First you go with some guy in the middle of the night, miles away from your home and now you're dating a criminal? Did love made you this blind?", he added boiling with anger as my knees felt the gravity more acute.

From his well-marked statement I could see what sagacious opinion he had of me. He must see me as a dumb girl who messes around with all sort of dubious guys. A girl with a low level of intelligence and God forbid, he might think I'm easy as well. He even remembered the incident with Jiyong too. However, I felt safer with Jiyong in that night than with Chanyeol now.

That could be a reason for not wanting to see me as a possible date. Who would date a girl like that? Why do I hate so much the word "date" right now? My crush was turning in a high-brow guy and he couldn't have picked a better time to show it to me. There were so many times when I could have chosen the brain, but followed my heart and trusted it. It wasn't my heart's fault, but mine because I've put my trust in him and he wasn't the one to deserve that.

He had no right to shout at me. Despite all the affection I was carrying for him, I was a person who deserved respect. For the time being I have to put my trust once in someone but that person won’t be Chanyeol. It’s perfectly fine for me if he chooses this path, I, on the other hand, we’ll go with my instinct. I’ll trust the ones I grew up with. My friends will help me once they found out, I’m sure of that. Maybe Baekhyun would linger a bit his decision and have second thoughts about leaving me
