GQ Korea is having a special 10th anniversary issue and they will be having Yoochun, Seung Hyun, Jaejoong and Hyun Joong as the models. Each will have their solo cover edition and then they will have a group cover edition. It didn’t take long for the four to agree since they all had free schedules at that time. Seung Hyun is also planning to hold a launch party for the 10th anniversary issue.

 

 

They were at the studio where the photo shoot is going to be held. Hyun Joong, Jaejoong and Seung Hyun were already there but Yoochun hasn’t arrived yet. They decided to do the solo shoots first since they were all waiting for Yoochun to arrive. Jaejoong was currently doing his solo shoot while Seung Hyun and Hyun Joong were watching him.

 

 

Jaejoong just came from his month long honeymoon while Hyun Joong arrived from Tokyo where he did a couple of endorsements and were still engaged in the underground drifting. Seung Hyun was busy with his company and excited in being a new daddy while Yoochun was still on hiatus from work and is currently reading a few scripts, scouting for his next role.

 

 

“Yoochun should be here right now. He’s the one with the most free time among the four of us.” Hyun Joong asked Seung Hyun.

 

 

“He’s been guarding Minzy like a hawk. If he weren’t causing so much of a scene in her university, he’d probably sit in on Minzy’s classes. He probably went by Minzy’s uni to fetch her there.” Seung Hyun answered in a chuckle. He shook his head and Hyun Joong gave out a small smile.

 

 

“He needs to cool down and tone down his jealousy.” Hyun Joong replied.

 

 

Just then, Yoochun finally arrives and true enough, Minzy was with him. They looked like they weren’t talking to each other. Hyun Joong and Seung Hyun looked at each other and then looked at Yoochun who went straight to the dressing room and left Minzy to greet them.

 

 

“What did you do to Yoochun?” Seung Hyun asked Minzy while placing his arm around her shoulders. Hyun Joong gave Minzy a questioning look, immediately knowing that something between them happened. Minzy looked down and bit her lip.

 

 

“Come on, go ahead and spill it before we wrestle the information out from you.” Hyun Joong murmured coldly. Minzy huffed and crossed her arms over her chest, still refusing to budge.

 

 

“What happened?” Seung Hyun and Hyun Joong asked. Minzy looked at both of them hesitantly and then heaved out a sigh.

 

 

“He kind of proposed to me. He gave me an engagement ring.” Minzy said shyly. Hyun Joong raised his eyebrow and Seung Hyun snickered.

 

 

“Let me guess, you rejected him? Are you two breaking up or what?” Seung Hyun asked, hugging Minzy a little tighter. Minzy immediately shook her head.

 

 

“I love him. I love him so much. It’s just that…he’s this big Hollywood star…and me…I’m just Minzy…I haven’t even accomplished anything yet…I don’t even have my degree yet and…I just…” They both felt Minzy’s dilemma. Hyun Joong took Minzy’s hand and held it.

 

 

“As you are probably well aware of by now, your boyfriend is a jealous monster. He is the most territorial among the four of us. He may be the nice guy with the squeaky clean image, but when it comes to the people he loves, he’s very territorial and a bit possessive. But that is part of who he is. You need to talk this over with him. Because I know for sure that even though Yoochun is a territorial, possessive, jealous monster, he is also a reasonable man…and he’s head over heels in love with you…if you don’t voice out your thoughts, you’ll never be head to head with him and you’re going to get nowhere.” Minzy stayed quiet and took Hyun Joong’s words. She slowly nodded.

 

 

*****

 

 

Yoochun was at the dressing room, he was still quiet and trying to compose himself. He started ing his shirt so he could change to his outfit. He was deep in his thoughts and he doesn’t notice Minzy coming inside the dressing room. She quietly closed the door behind her and started approaching him.

 

 

“Oppa…” Minzy called him softly. Yoochun stopped and slowly turned to face her.

 

 

“I…can we talk? I didn’t mean to…I really didn’t mean to reject you…it’s just that…” Minzy couldn’t form her thoughts well. She couldn’t seem to organize her thoughts because all she could focus on is Yoochun’s exposed half body. She swallowed the invisible lump in as her eyes trailed on Yoochun’s chiseled body while her boyfriend was completely unaware that she was already checking him out.

 

 

Yoochun sighed heavily as he looked at Minzy lovingly. No matter what she does and no matter how hard he tried, he can’t seem to stay mad at Minzy. All he has to do is look at her and all his anger goes away.

 

 

“You’re not ready yet. I understand. I’m sorry for rushing you.” Yoochun filled in for her. Minzy clenched her fist so she could stop her urge to trail her hands on Yoochun’s chest. Minzy bit her lip forcefully, willing herself to look into Yoochun’s eyes instead.

 

 

“I didn’t mean to rush you Minzy. If you’re not ready yet then I’m willing to wait. I’m willing to give you all the time you need.” Minzy couldn’t help but gasp as Yoochun locked her in his arms…her cheek skin to skin against his chest. And after a few seconds of being in shock, Minzy gave out an involuntary sigh of pleasure and her arms automatically went around his waist and embraced him back.

 

 

Yoochun kissed the top of Minzy’s head and he tightened his arms around her, his hands caressing her back. They stayed like that for what felt like forever and they both felt like the air seemed to be hotter around them. They couldn’t deny the tension between them as their bodies stayed so close to each other.

 

 

Minzy slowly looked up and found Yoochun’s glazed eyes. Yoochun slowly descended and lifted Minzy’s chin up, making sure that her eyes stayed on his. Minzy’s lips quivered in anticipation, knowing fully well that Yoochun is about to kiss her.

 

 

“I love you Minzy.” Yoochun’s lips ghosted over her lips, their eyes still on each other.

 

 

“I love you too oppa…only you…” Minzy replied sincerely and she couldn’t help but step on her toes so she could hasten their kiss.

 

 

“Well….well…well…what do we have here…” Yoochun and Minzy immediately stepped away from each other as if their bodies were thrown cold water. Their faces were red in embarrassment as Seung Hyun, Hyun Joong and Jaejoong were standing by the door.

 

 

“How long have you guys been standing there?” Yoochun asked with a broken voice.

 

 

“Our respective solo shoots are over…you guys have been in here for quite some time…We wanted to check if you guys are doing some hanky panky before anyone else from the staff finds out.” Jaejoong laughed, immediately earning a murderous look from Yoochun.

 

 

“Oh come off it Yoochun. We don’t have all day. Go get dressed. They’re all waiting for you.” Hyun Joong said impatiently.

 

 

Yoochun silently turned back and grabbed the suit he was supposed to wear. He went inside the cubicle so he could dress and they could all hear him muttering “Some er friends I have…”

 

 

Minzy couldn’t look at their eyes and started to walk out of the dressing room.

 

 

*****

 

 

The four friends were now doing their group cover shoot. They were all wearing Armani suits and were posing for the camera.

 

 

“Why do you always have to get in my business? I didn’t meddle in to your affairs when you guys were chasing after your women.” Yoochun hissed while they were posing for the photographer. Seung Hyun and Jaejoong couldn’t help but chuckle while Hyun Joong’s lips just arched but he was still composed.

 

 

“You need to lighten up man. You’re too possessive and territorial with Minzy.” Seung Hyun embraced Yoochun sideways while still looking at the camera. Yoochun fixed the collars for his jacket suit and looked fiercely at the camera.

 

 

“You can’t expect her to agree excitedly at your proposal when all you do is hover over her like a hawk. Think how it must be so dreadful for her thinking that you’ll always be like that.” Hyun Joong chided. Yoochun glared at him.

 

 

“She told you. Why does she tell you everything?” Yoochun muttered grumpily.

 

 

“What do you expect? These two are her self-proclaimed brothers. Of course she tells them everything.” Jaejoong squeezed Yoochun’s shoulders as if trying to calm him down.

 

 

“All we’re saying is that…if you really want Minzy to come around…you need to back off a little bit and give her space.” Seung Hyun said in a low voice.

 

 

“Minzy is a strong minded girl. You need to give her space and control your jealousy if you actually want to get her to agree with her to marry you.” Hyun Joong continued and Yoochun slowly nodded, completely understanding what his friends are trying to tell him.

 

 

*****

 

 

“Oppa…” Minzy mumbled. They were both in the car. Yoochun was dropping her off to her class. Minzy still has the engagement ring Yoochun gave her. She doesn’t know if she should return it or not. She fished the blue velvet box from her bag and brought it out. She held it out to Yoochun. He shook his head and enclosed Minzy’s fingers around the box.

 

 

“Please keep it Minzy. Just wear the ring when you’re ready. I told you I’ll wait however long it takes. So just keep the ring.” Yoochun said softly. Minzy slowly nodded.

 

 

She opened the box and took out the ring and then she took off the white gold necklace Yoochun gave her on her last birthday. She slid the ring on the necklace and wore it again. She smiled at Yoochun and then gave him a quick kiss on the lips.

 

 

“Thank you for being so patient with me oppa. I love you so much.” Minzy said sweetly. Yoochun smiled and cupped her cheek and gave her a soft kiss on the lips.

 

 

“What time do I pick you up?” Yoochun asked.

 

 

“Uhmmm…I forgot to tell you oppa..I have this group project to do after class. It’s kind of really really important because it makes up 15 percent of our grade.” Minzy shared.

 

 

“How many of you are in the group?”

 

 

“Five of us…Amber, Naeun and I then Youngjae and Myungsoo…” Minzy closed her eyes, expecting Yoochun to start with his jealousy because those two guys were the ones he caught talking to Minzy onetime which started one of his jealous fits. But instead of getting jealous, Yoochun just kept quiet. Minzy was surprised when she saw Yoochun just sighed and smiled. He kissed her cheek and then embraced her before pulling away.

 

 

“Just call me if you need me to fetch you home okay? I’m going to my agency later to go over some endorsement offers.” Yoochun replied.

 

 

Minzy couldn’t quite believe it because Yoochun didn’t get mad nor started the whole inquisition when she said she had two guy group mates.

Hyun Joong and Bom kept their promise to each other and they visited his twin brother’s grave on his birthday. They met up there and offered Hyung Joon their respective flowers.

 

 

“Happy Birthday to you Hyun Joong…” Bom greeted him.

 

 

“Thanks.” Hyun Joong replied.

 

 

“How will you be celebrating your birthday?” Bom asked. Hyun Joong shrugged.

 

 

“The guys are supposed to secretly plan something for me but they let Yoochun handle everything so obviously, I found out. That guy can never really keep a se
