"Hey."

Mihye blinked and saw L.Joe looking at her, smiling softly. "Can I talk to you for a moment in private?" L.Joe whispered as his eyes darted around the other members in the two organizations.

Mihye nodded. She gulped, crossing her fingers behind her back. He still liked her right? Even if she was in the identity of the Queen and not her real self. He still liked her...right?

The two of them went out of the room and went to a corner. Mihye stated at L.Joe nervously, wondering what he was going to say.

L.Joe was having an emotional battle with himself as well. He bit his lip and released it, biting it again. He seemed to have something to say, but didn't know how to go about doing it.

"What is it?" Mihye managed to whisper.

L.Joe's gaze snapped up to meet hers and he swallowed. "I...I just thought you should be the first to know about this, even before my friends and everyone else." he muttered.

"You know I asked you to wait for me?" L.Joe asked. "I said I couldnt get into a relationship now, and that I really liked what we have. This connection. I don't deny that it isn't there....but I found something more."

Mihye froze.  "What do you mean?"

L.Joe sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. "I fell in love." he whispered. "With the most wonderful girl ever. I can't believe I didn't see her when she was around all the time. This feeling is much stronger than what we have, Queen. I'm not going to let we go no matter what."

Mihye lowered her gaze such that we bangs were covering her eyes. It took everything she had now not to burst into tears.

"I'm sorry, Queen." L.Joe looked at her meaningfully. "But when you find Someone that you love as much as I love her, you wouldn't want me either. No matter what, you're still the first girl to catch my interest like this. You're a wonderful girl, you deserve better. I'm really sorry about this."

Mihye took a deep breath and looked up at him. "It's okay." she forced a smile. She bowed slightly and walked off as fast as she could. When she turned the corner, she immediately burst into tears as she ran.

*Im lying, Byunghun oppa.* she cried. *Im not okay. I'm nothing but okay. I didn't know it'd hurt this much, oppa. What do I do now?* she thought desperately.

"WHAT??" Kevin shrieked, his eyes wide. He stated at Mihye in disbelief, still not digesting what she just said.

Mihye stared at the ground, her eyes filing with tears. She nodded slowly, biting her lips till they bled.

Kevin paced around in front of them in an attempt to digest this complete fiasco.

"Wait, so what you're saying is," he muttered deep in thought. "You had this talking buddy we didn't know about. This buddy who's called L.Joe can has a lot of things in common with you. Your virtual best friend."

Mihye nodded.

"And somewhere along the way you met this hot guy at the club, and he turned out to be the Knight, the president of Men's Organization." he continued.

"You and him arranged things such that you two were going to wait until the time was right and you two could be together." Kevin tapped his chin. His eyes narrowed at Mihye. "And now you found out that, all these people were actually your husband, Lee Byunghun, and just when you knew...he rejected you."

Mihye nodded tearfully.

Kevin softened. He reached out and pulled Mihye to him, cradling her to him gently and rocking her side to side in a soothing rhythm. "It's okay." he cooed.

Mihye shook her head as she sniffled. "No it's not." she muttered. "I love him, Kevin oppa! I never felt this strongly about anyone before. And it hurts. It hurts so bad."

"Oh Mihye..." Kevin her hair, his face contorting in pain, not only for hers but for her own as well.

"I don't know what to do, Kevin oppa." she murmured. "Now when I think of him, my hearts crazily. I can't tell L.Joe either, because they're the same person. I'm dying inside oppa. I'm dying."

Kevin bit his lip and held her as she cried into his chest, wetting his shirt. "You can find someone better, Mihye." he whispered.

Mihye continued crying, knowing otherwise. L.Joe was the best thing that happened in her life...and possibly the worst.

Because he was so important to her, it hurt much more. He fell for someone else and he had the courtesy to tell her even though they weren't exactly related or had any agreements to be together.

He obviously cared when he hurt the Queen because she saw his pained expression when he told her that he loved someone else.

But it's not the same. It's not love. It's nothing near what she felt for him, and he would never know.

*If I knew it's hurt so bad, I'd never have fallen in love in the first place.* she cried.

A buzz on her phone made Mihye blinked from her blank state. She reached over to it slowly, her mind drifting off elsewhere.

She was waiting for L.Joe to go back from work. Now she knew why there were always extra clothes that needed to be washed when she didn't see L.Joe wearing them. The maids always hung them up and she thought maybe those belonged to Kevin.

But it was because he wore a different set of clothes everytime he went or a meeting. If she didn't stumble across the fact today, she wouldn't have known.

Her heart gave a painful squeeze when she saw who sent her the message. It was him.

To: Miss Apple

Hey Apple, I have good news! After you've realized you fell for this someone, I realized that I fell for someone too!
It's magical really, and I can't believe I hadn't seen it. I was too focused on that ideal girl of mine to realize that all I need was here with me. I made it clear with the first girl the moment I realized this. I'm not going to be happy if it's not her.
I never knew it feels this way, love. And I never want for it to disappear ever. I want to see her everyday, every moment, every second. Is this how you feel about that special guy too? Because its overwhelming. It's virtually overflowing from inside.
I thought I'd just share this happy news with you, Apple. I love her, I really do. And I'm going to do everything to keep her by my side.

From: L.Joe

Mihye's vision blurred as she burst into tears again. He loved someone else, and to hear him go on and on am with such excitement and passion was painful. Extremely painful.

Mihye gulped mouthfuls of air and cried.

If she had a choice, she'd never love again. Because now she knew, love was just a building with an entrance and no exit.

Hellooooo my lovely readers! I'm planning my next fic, and I'm happy to announce that it's going to be an EXO fic!! WHOOOHOOO right?

I'm going to be using Exo-K again this time since I'm kind of biased towards them. I'll try to include M in I can but I haven't thought the storyline through. I wanted to choose the guy and fit the character for him, if you get what I mean.

So help me with this poll?
