______ was walking between Yoseob and Kikwang.

She linked her arms with each of them.

Her adorable boyfriend was in a sulky mood, after learning he had to share her with Kikwang.

“Aah, ______ie!~ LOOK!” Kikwang said pointing to something in a store.

“Wow!~” she squealed.

She ran after him to look in a store.

Yoseob fell behind.

He let out a sigh.

He definitely was feeling like a third wheel now.

“It’s just a few hours. She already chose me. Just a few hours. She chose me, not him.” he repeated over and over to himself.

______ came out of the store, leaving Kikwang in there.

She ran up to Yoseob and wrapped her arms around his torso.

“You’re being such a good sport, about this.” She said happily.

“Am I?”

“Mhm!” she smiled. “Why are you still way out here?”

“I just am. I thought I’d leave some space between us.”

______ frowned.

“Aww…WAEYO?!” she whined. “Don’t you know I’d rather have you right next to me, rather than a mile away?”

He smiled a bit.

“Where is your ring then?” he asked picking up her left hand in his.

______ looked down at her hand and saw it wasn’t there.

“Oh..Um…” she panicked, feeling for the chain around her neck. She breathed a sigh of relief and pulled the chain out of her shirt. “It’s right here! I rushed out of the set today and didn’t put it back on.”

Yoseob did it himself.

He took a step behind her and undid the clasp on the chain.

He stood in front of her and put the ring back on her.

“Aish, if you don’t keep this on, people will think you’re single.” He scolded playfully. “It’s touching to know that you had it even though we were kind of on a break.”

“How did you know that?”

“Well…you didn’t sell it and you have it now.” He pointed out.

She just smiled.

“Why would I sell it?”

Yoseob shrugged.

“Molla…Why would you?” he eyed her.

“I wouldn’t.”

“Good answer.” He said slipping his hands into his pockets.

‘Aish…why does he have to be so adorable. My boyfriend is killing me.’

“This evening though, I sort of feel like a third wheel.”

“The most important wheel on a tricycle!” she pointed out.

He smiled.

“Did you get that joke from that best friend of yours?”

“Guilty.” She nodded.

They went to join Kikwang in the store.

“______-ah!” Kikwang called, informally.

She smiled.

“Ne, Oppa!~” she nodded.

“Come here! Both of you!” he said pointing to a photo booth. “Let’s make memories. Yoseobie, you can sit on my nap.”

Kikwang winked at his friend.

“Aww…thanks! But..No thanks. I don’t trust you to not take advantage of me.” Yoseob teased. He changed to a more serious tone. “Plus, your leg is still injured.”

“Were you planning to sit on my foot? It’s my foot that’s injured, Babo!”

“So what? Just scoot over then the three of us can fit!”

“What do you mean? Your microscopic face doesn’t need much room.”

“Yeah, but your fat badonk-a-donk takes up two-thirds of the photo booth!”

______ stifled a laughed.

“Badonk-a-donk?”

“Well, if it was big enough to peak out from his hospital gown.”

“Aigoo….You two are the best.”

She and Kikwang got into the photo booth together.

Yoseob sighed, and realized something.

‘If I felt like the third wheel earlier, I imagine Kikwang must always feel this way. I guess I can put up with sharing her for a few more hours.’

The next day, _____ was riding on Yoseob's back.

He had met her so they could go to work together, after he treated her to breakfast.

"Are your legs okay?"

"Wae?" he chuckled.

“Well, you fed me breakfast…”

"Am I weak? I used to piggyback Yojinnie, all the time. Plus, I carried Kikwang to the hospital. He's not exactly light."

"Aah...the muscles weigh more than fat. I know that.”

Yoseob stopped walking to scold her.

"Yah, don't talk about his muscles. I have muscles too! They may not be as huge, but they're there."

______ smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Ara!” she giggled. “Aigoo, so sensitive. Your jealousy towards Kikwang-ssi though…”

“Hmph of course I’m jealous. You thought you had a crush on him before. Also, you let him be your other boyfriend for a while yesterday.”

“Well…you're perfect. My perfect namja."

"I’ll take it, but am I competing with Ricky for cutest?"

"Ani."

"Jinjja?!"

"You're cutest Namja, Changhyunnie is cutest squishy baby."

"What am I?" a voice from behind.

"Derpy derp who ever derped." she shouted.

"Yah."

"At least you're pretty. Yoseobie, can I get off?"

He bent down so that she could jump off of his back.

“Wow, you got a free ride to work. I had to take a cab.” Jaehyo whined.

______ made a face.

“Oppa didn’t give you a ride on his way to the hospital?”

“Yeah right…”

“That’s alright, you’re rich.” She patted his back.

“Since when!”

“Well, if not, you sure are whiny. Whine yourself into a free ride.”

“You think Hyung would give me a ride for whining?”

“Nope.” She giggled.

"By the way, Hyung told our parents that he saw you. Then, Umma got all Spazzy."

"Aww…” she giggled. “Well, Oppa is a bit late. We saw him a couple of days ago."

"He falls asleep when he gets home. Maybe he forgot about you? Doctors are busy, he probably forgot you. He's becoming more successful. Little people don't matter."

______ rolled her eyes.

"Aww thanks Bestie!" she said sarcastically. "All that's left is to find a wife for him.”

"Woori." the two said together.

"Ah, by the way, I got here early and it turns out…Jieun is absent today."

Yoseob sighed and shook his head.

He rolled his eyes.

‘Aigoo…’

"Aah, is she okay?" ______ asked.

It was an instinct for her to instantly be concerned for someone's health and well being.

"I think so...but the director asked for you to fill in for her again. Wait…when did you fill in for her?” Jaehyo gave her a look. He smiled. “She’s doing the singing. If you filled in for her…you…SANG?!?!”

“Shut up!”

“Omo! How did they manage to convince you to do THAT? It’s impossible.”

“Not impossible.” Yoseob shook his head. “She didn’t put up a fight. She sang with me.”

Jaehyo smirked.

“Well, that explains SOOOOOOO MUCH!~~” he teased.

______’s expression was blank.

She just shook her head at him.

Yoseob blushed.

“Where is Jieun-ssi anyway? Didn’t you work with her yesterday, Yoseobie? Was she okay then?”

"Psh, hell as if I know! I’m not comfortable around her anymore. She likes me...I mean really likes me." He confessed.

______ turned to look at her boyfriend.

"NO! Really?!" she said sarcastically.

"She kind of tried to kiss me."

Jaehyo whistled and walked off.

“I’ll be…over there…somewhere.” He said pointing in a random direction.

He didn't want to get involved.

He sat down somewhere with his video games.

"Mwo?" ______ stared Yoseob right in the eyes.

"Um..." he stammered nervously.

Her gaze was freaking him out.

"Be careful. I don't want Changhyunnie getting sick." She said calmly.

"Huh?"

"She could sneeze on you, you'd pass it to me, and I'd give it to him."

"But it's okay if I get sick?" he grumbled.

"No one told you to put your face too close to hers."

"Yah..."

"Just saying."

"You’re not mad?" he asked. ‘WHY THE HECK AREN’T YOU MAD, WOMAN?!?!?!?!?!’

"Ani, I trust you." she smiled. "Lee Jieun isn't a mean person, right?"

He shook his head.

"Ani." He said. He was a bit unsure now. ‘At least, I don’t think so.’

"Good. I'm not giving you up. I'd rather give that one up and let my electronics die."

"That's what I wanted to tell you, earlier."

"That's it?"

"What do you mean 'that's it'?"

"As long as she didn't succeed, I'm not going to freak out."

"Well...."

"Well what?"

"I turned so she got my cheek."

______ couldn't deny the fact that she was a bit jealous.

She always felt jealous around Jieun.

"Is that why she's not here?" ______ asked curiously. “You’re the reason she’s not here?”

Yoseob nodded.

"She was pissed at me for rejecting her."

She sighed.

"She's not coming back is she?"

"Nope." He shook his head. “I highly doubt it.”

"WHAT?!?!” ______ shouted angrily. “So what about you?! She just left you? What about your song?"

He shrugged.

"They're looking for a replacement, right now. So…."

"......so?...."

_______ gave him a questioning look.

Yoseob smiled.

"So, I had an idea.”

“An idea?”

“You want your parents to be proud of the amazing woman you've become."

"......" She was silent. 'What is he getting at?'

"It would make me happy, and the Ahjussi would be happy. I think you would be too."

"Spit it out, Yang Yoseob."

"You know that we sounded great together."

She caught on to what he was trying to suggest.

"You want ME, to do her parts?"

"Only if you want to….”

"....Yoseob-ah...." she sighed.

"You're afraid of singing?"

"No..."

"We're you afraid when we were singing together?"

______ smiled.

"Definitely not." She shook her head.

“Well…would you consider it? I mean, if it’s not too painful?” he asked.

He didn’t want to be too pushy.

If her answer was “No”, he would let it go.

______ took a deep breath.

She thought for a moment.

“I may consider it.” She told him.

“CHEONGMAL?!~~” he said cutely.

______ giggled and nodded her head.

“Ne, I will think about it.” She continued. ‘I really want to do this for him. If no one fills this spot, he’ll be out too.’

“KAMSA!~” he chuckled. “You have no idea how excited I am.”

“Well, don’t get too excited. I still could say no.”

She just stared at her.

Her heart was racing.

“Ara.” Yoseob replied with a nod. “I’m just excited for you. You’re considering singing again. That’s awesome for you.”

“If you weren’t my adorable boyfriend, whom I care about very much…I wouldn’t do it.”

“So, is that a yes?!?!” He shouted loudly.

Jaehyo looked up from his game and pulled out his ear buds, it was that loud.

“Ige mwoya?”

“Aigoo, if the director is alright with it, yes.”

“MANSE!”
