"Minhee do you really have to leave?" Onew asked while eyeing me packaging the whole stuff

I nodded, not getting sidetracked from what i've been doing

He sighed. "Still you haven't answer the real question. Why did you even thought of this?"

I was stunned for a moment. And decided to just ignore his question and continue packaging. He sighed for the second time.

"You won't answer this question right? So just tell me is it because of jonghyun? Or me? Am i doing something wrong? Is.."

I stopped him "no, it's just the right time to end this stupid engagement, i've been a burden for you guys. Anyway you guys will be busy for 2 weeks ahead right?" i smiled.

I finished packaging all of my stuff after some minutes, while onew was still being confused.

"Okay i'm done" i smiled proudly and picked up all the things then suddenly onew took half of it

"Thankyou" i smiled sheepishly. He replied it with a bitter smile. I can't even complain about that. Since i'm the selfish one here.

We both left the room and there they were in the living room

"Minhee! Tell me what have this brat done to you?!" Key screamed and pretended to punch jonghyun,while jonghyun seems like he wouldn't coordinate with him and it looked even more funnier

I laughed "no, i've been a burden for you guys for too long. You guys know i don't want the engagement right?" I helped jonghyun to release key's grip

"Minhee let me give you a goodbye kiss on the forehead" taemin run while opening his arm widely

"N-no" i pushed him while bulging my eyes

He stopped "why?" And pout cutely

"I-I don't like to be kissed on the forehead" i pouted back

"Then i'm gonna kiss you in the cheek" he came towards

Once again i pushed him "nooo, i don't like that too"

He pouted "then just give me a hug" he smile cutely

I smiled and give him a hug

"Minhee, later when we meet at school, and i don't greet you. You know why right?" He hesitantly asked

I nodded "don't worry, you have to be stronger. Okay? Don't waste my efforts, okay?" I pat his head

He nodded and smile widely

Minho cames toward and give me a hug "keep in touch?"

"Sure!" i smile and break the hug

Key's eyes are already watery, i laughed at him "i hate to say goodbye, why can't you just stay here?" He nagged

"You guys will be having a hard week right? I'll be an obstacle, anyway i'm here just for the engagement's promise right? it's over now" i swept his tears

"We'll miss you" he hugged me, i patted his back

"Thankyou"

 

So this is it.

I breathed heavily

"then let's go to your home first. i have to tell your father about my decision" he took the luggage and walk to his car with onew following him

"thank you for all of your kindness" i bowed deeply.

they waved "take care"

i turned my body. onew was waiting for me to say something

"thanks for all the help. you know, you helped me a lot in here. even if with your strange act and all" i giggled. "and sorry i can't help you with sekyung and jonghyun's relationship. but se kyung once told me that she really loves jonghyun so i thought it's okay"

he sniffed "you are too naive, or maybe even yourself know that right? but you won't admit or maybe you are afraid? i shouldn't give you" i was stunned with his words, not understanding what he meant

"w-what do you mean?" a little pain attacked my stomach. i rather know or not about this, but there are some guilty feelings inside me.

"sorry that i have to say this today, but i just want you to understand it. this for my sacrifaces that i should've get the reward from it." he suddenly kissed my cheek

i was stunned. my eyes bulged out. i'm about to open my mouth to protest when he whispered "saranghae" he smiled a little. my face getting redder

"y-ya! what was that?!" i yelled unconsciouslly, he only laughed

"forget it, byee~" he ruffled my hair while laughing

i was still standing on my place with confused and red faced. Jonghyun sighed and pulled me to the car

I was on my mind along the road. i don't even aware the gape was still left in my mouth.

suddenly a hands hold up my chin and closed my mouth. of course it's jonghyun's hand. i looked at him

"don't droll in my car" he said while still looking at the road

i pouted. but i heard him. i replaying onew's word in my head trying to understand what does he mean, but i feel asleep instead.

oh well, my brain shouldn't be overworked that much.

 

"we're arrived" i heard jonghyun turning off the car

i nodded and open the door "anyway are your parents home?" i rubbed my sleepy eyes

"actually not" jonghyun easily said while fixing my hair

i frowned "what? so.. okay we'll just wait for them" i said and sit on the stone ladder in front of his house

he sit beside me and start asking "did i do something that made you wanna move?" I turned my head to him. He was looking at me, waiting for me to speak

"No. I guess i've burdened you guys a lot. And i finally realize this will go nowhere, only a waste of time doesn't it?" I was unable to look into his eyes

He stayed silent for a while "thats it?" He asked

I nodded. It's just me being so selfish. 

So selfish to keep the engagement going on.

So selfish to be mad and sad when seeing you with se kyung.

So selfish to leave you, because of the pain i got.

Thus i have to release you. And let you live happily with her.

Without obstacle

Without me.

"Why did you ask?" I asked because of the uncomfortable stare he gave to me, the silence between us. And a little bit of curiousity

He shook his head "i'm afraid that i might have hurt you. I.." he stopped. "You know the first time we meet?" I nodded and smile

"I thought you were the most annoying girl i've ever met. You are not cute at all, or pretty, or sweet. You just a rude and annoying girl"

"Wow, thanks" i said sarcastically. We laughed for a moment

"Yeah, but you prove it. You weren't like that at all. You are not even mean or rude. You just a careless and coward girl. Who always affraid of ghost that doesn't even exist, loved to wear the same shirt everyday"

"Hey, you affraid of ghost too don't you?!" I hit his shoulder playfully while laughing

"I'm not!" He defended his self and hold my hands

"Yes you are!!" I laughed anf tried hard to release his grip while keep hitting him

"Hey hey!!" He shouted and suddenly he can't keep his balance and we both fall on the ground with me on top of him

Our faced was just an inch when i open my eyes. Our smile vanished. And our face turned red.

I was speechless while still staring at him. He was still holding my hands, i can even feel his warm breath on my face

"What are you two doing in front of my house?!" We both looked up to see who's shouting at us.

It's his father, i hurriedly got up and bowed. Jonghyun got up too but unlike me, he casually asked his father "where's eomma?"

His father only shook his head seeing his son acting like that "she's still in kindergaten. What makes you two come here?" He walk past us to unlock the door

I cleared my throat "i want to tell you something mr. Kim"

He turned around and look at me "what is that?"

I nodded. I'm sure he know i was serious.

He let me come into the house and told jonghyun to serve the drinks. ofcourse jonghyun sighed and whined, but his father sure can order his son

After the drinks were served, he let me speak

"Mr. Kim, i know this is too fast. And this is too sudden but i want to.." i take a long breathe "cancel the engagement" i said it finally

He choked on his drink "w-what?" 

"Actually i'm waiting for some 'really? That's good'" i innocently said

He shooked his head "no, no i mean.. you two just cuddle happily in front of my house and suddenly you.."

I blushed at his word "okay sir, what did you just see isn't like what it is. It's just an accident. Accident! Right!" 

He calmed his self down " so.. why so sudden?" He frowned

"Well.. there's something i have to deal with. I know i was selfish, but i guess jonghyun doesn't want it too in the first place. And i will gladly hear it from you too" i fake a smile

Jonghyun's father looked a little bit confused, and relieved at the same time. I guess he want his son to find the true love himself too.

"You really agree with this? Or he forced you to do this?" He ensured me once again

"Daadd" jonghyun complained. I chuckled

"No sir" i smiled 

He sighed, relieved i guess

"Then i think i should go now" i get up, he followed me to the door.

"Min hee, your father is really a good man. He helped me a lot. But i really love my son, please don't misunderstood me" he said before i left

I smile brightly "you are a funny man sir. My dad isn't that good. He's just like you. And just like you, he loves me as much as you love your son"

I waved at him before jonghyun start to drift off from that place. I finally remember the first time i met him. Dad's funeral. He is one of the plenty that cries his heart out secretly. I was good at things like that at that time. Time flies so fast, huh? He grew older and much wiser.

"Why are you smiling like an idiot?" Jonghyun asked

"Nope" i said

We stopped at an apartement near my school

"I'll go check here" jonghyun said and left the car. I wait patiently

Not long after that he came back "lucky you" and showed me the bill

I took it with a bright smile "last room left" he said and start bragging about how lucky am i because of his handsomeness that was able to hypnotize the recepsionist to gave hin that last room while in fact it's just my luck to have that last room

We take my luggage to the room. And just placed it in the living room "i'll place things later, i'm tired. Car always makes me tired" i said and laid on the bed

Jonghyun walked around the room, checking the room one by one and mumbling things

"What?" I asked while giving him an intimidating stare

He shook his head "i just wanna check if there are some creepy creatures on your toilet or closet" and smirked playfully

"Hey, don't talk about that!" I sat on the bed and point my finger at him

"See? A coward" he walked near me and pat my head while bent to level his head right infront of mine. A slight memory about earlier passed on my thought suddenly and made me blushed

"O-okay, i'm a coward so what?" I tried to play it cool. 

He sat beside the bed and looked at me "you need some company?" He said almost whispering

I almost popped out my eyes "w-what?" I was just assuring myself if i heard something like company?

"You want me to stay with you tonight?" He asked clearly

W-what should i say now.. That stupid dino head
