Krystal P.O.V

Sunday afternoon Minho came around. I'd taken to hiding in my room, I don't know why… I just didn't feel like facing the world today. I was sick of this charade and pulling Minho along and making him fall for me.

Well, that's what I told myself.Nicole, however, thought differently. She made a surprise appearance early that morning telling me that I was falling for Minho and that I had to keep my promise.

To get her away I pretended I was sick and rushed to my bathroom where I stayed for the next five minutes before coming out to discover she was gone. I then crawled back into my bed when my dad knocked on my door.

"Soojung?" He called.

I sighed and threw the covers away from my face. "Yea Daddy?"

"Minho's here to see you."

"What?" I shouted, jumping out of my bed.

"He's downstairs waiting for you." Dad said and then I guess he walked away because I heard nothing more of him.

I frowned and looked down at myself. I was still in my pajamas because I had every intention of staying in bed today, but I guess that's going to change. So I walked over to my cupboard and took something out to put on for now.

I walked down the stairs and found Minho in the kitchen talking to Key. I frowned as it looked like they were having a contest to see who could stuff the most hot dogs in their faces.

"I win!" Key shouted, spraying hot dog bits everywhere. I cringed at the sight.

"Key!" I shouted at him. "What?" Does he not know you're supposed to swallow before you speak?

"Stop being so gross." I said and threw a napkin at him. I didn't notice that Minho had moved around the counter and was now standing behind me. I only noticed him when his arms went around my waist and pulled me closer to him.

"Yeah Key, stop being so gross." He said and then rested his chin on my shoulder.

"Fine, fine." Key said and then grabbed the napkin I threw at him and wiped his face. "I'm off to work now…"

"Bye!" I called out to him. Key gave me a weird look as he left through the backdoor and I started laughing, Minho joining in before turning me around to face him.

"I missed you." He said. I felt my face heat up; why did this always happen around him?

"I missed you too." I said and was surprised when I realized that I wasn't lying when I said that.

"I actually came here to ask you something." Minho said, letting go of me and then sitting down on a chair by the table. I sat down on the chair next to his. "Ok, what is it?" I asked him.

"Next weekend is my birthday party and since you're my girlfriend, you have to be there." He said. "Have to?" I asked.

"If you want to. Please say you'll be there Krystal." He begged. I looked over at him, he really was begging me now and he looked so cute doing that. I couldn't help but smile.

"Yeah, I'll be there."

"Thank you!" He said and then kissed me. "No problem." I said and then he grabbed my hand. "Uh, where are we going?"

"Out… anywhere you want to go, I'll take you." He said. I stopped walking once we left my house. "Anywhere?"

"Anywhere." He confirmed, though he looked worried as to where my anywhere would lead us.

xXxXx

"How about this one?"

"Krystal, are you serious?"

"Dead serious." I said and turned around to look at Minho and couldn't help but laugh at him. "You ok though?"

"Oh yeah, sure, I'm fine. My arms won't fall off because of all the clothes I'm carrying for you." He said sarcastically. I just rolled my eyes and continued browsing for some more clothes. "You said you'd do anything I asked." I reminded him.

"Are you going to buy all of this though?" he asked me as I threw another random shirt onto the pile. Truth was I wasn't exactly shopping; I just wanted to see how long he'd last until he cracked.

"No, most likely not." I said. "Ooh, this is nice. Minho?" I turned to see that he was gone. I walked back the way I'd come and found him leaning against the wall, trying to stop the pile of clothes in his arms from falling onto the ground.

"Don't you think you should go and try some of this on?" He asked. I laughed at him and took some of the clothes. "If you don't want to shop with me, just say so and we'll go." I told him.

"No, I said I'd do what you wanted to do." Minho said. "Well, I don't want to shop anymore."

"Then what are we supposed to do with all these clothes?"

"Here, follow me." I said and walked back down the row of clothes, throwing random items onto the shelves or on the racks. When we'd finally gotten rid of it all, we quickly left the shop.

"Where to now?" Minho asked me, putting an arm around my waist and pulling me closer to him. He always seemed to do this when we were out in public places, as if showing everyone that I belonged to him. Which right now was a good thing, considering who we ran into.

"Minho!" We heard someone call out and we stopped walking. Because walking towards us was Siwon, followed by a flock of fans.

"Hyung." Minho said.

"Krystal, right?" Siwon said to me. "Yeah." I said and looked back at Minho. He was glaring at Siwon who was staring at me. The fans that were following him had no idea what was actually happening here though.

But they caught on pretty quickly.

"I was just wondering if I could have a word with Krystal." Siwon then said. "Why?" I asked him before Minho could say anything. "Just to talk, since you're now friends with Minho."

"Hyung, leave her alone." Minho said and pulled me closer. I always thought I'd enjoy it, having two boys fight over me, but I was wrong. I had a very bad feeling that this was not going to end well for any of us…

"What do any girls see in you?" Siwon asked Minho. "I mean, look at me? Big idol and all."

"Just because you're famous doesn't mean you don't have any flaws." I said.

"Choi Siwon has no flaws."

"Really? You're so full of yourself that you probably couldn't keep a girlfriend for long. But that's ok, you've got millions of fans."

"What do you know? You don't even know me." Siwon said. I looked at the fans, some of them looked annoyed that I was taking all of Siwon's attention and some were confused as to what I was going on about. "I know guys like you." I said. "Come on Minho."

"Bye Hyung." Minho called her shoulder as we left Siwon behind. "What is his problem anyway?" I asked when we were out of earshot.

"Siwon isn't used to be turned down by a girl." Minho said and then shrugged. "Now where to Soojung?"

"Starbucks!" I said and pointed to the coffee shop, dragging Minho along with me. "Alright, but I'm paying." He said as we stood in the queue. "If you insist." I said and shrugged. "What would you like then?"

" A white chocolate mocha." Minho nodded and ordered it for me.

"Don't you drink coffee?" I asked him.

"I don't like it."

"Would you drink it for me?" He stopped walking and looked at the cup I was holding in my hands. He made a face and shook his head.

"Sorry, no." I smiled at him and kissed his cheek.

"Good." I said. He then smiled and put his arm around my shoulder and we then just walked around the mall, talking.

Until we ran into Nicole, who looked worried now. "Krystal, I need to talk to you." She said.

"Nicole, we're on a date here." Minho put in.

"I need to speak with Krystal! It's urgent!" She then pulled my arm and I was pulled out of Minho's arms. Nicole then dragged me away until we were far away from Minho.

"What is it?" I asked her.

"It's about Yuri, Yoona and Sulli. Do you know what they have planned for Minho's birthday?" She asked me. "They planned something and didn't include me?"

"Krystal, focus here." Nicole snapped her fingers in front of my face. "Look, they plan on bursting the whole thing open then, showing Minho that they were just using him through you."

I stopped breathing. I stared wide-eyed at Nicole, trying to process this information. This was happening too quickly, the party was next week! I wasn't ready, I couldn't… I didn't…

"Soojung!" Nicole said and then patted my cheek until I finally focused on her again. "It's ok, I have a plan."

"Which is?"

"Sorry, I can't tell you right now. I need you to go along with whatever Yuri and them tell you to do until the night of the party. Then my plan will come into action." She said and then grinned evilly.

I looked at Nicole and then back at Minho. He was pretending to window shop, but every so often he would look at us. He caught me looking at him and smiled at me.

"Ok." I said to her. "I'll follow your plan."
