As soon as we got back to the hotel, I went straight to my room and packed up everything to leave the next day. Jongin sat silently on the bed as he watched me rummage around the room. When I was done, I grabbed my bag and headed for the door.

“Y-Yoonae! Where are you going?”

“Baekhyun.”

Without another word, I walked out the door and knocked on the one next to mine. The door to Baekyeol’s room swung open without a second to spare. A pair of arms reached out and seized me, closing the door behind me.

“Hey love, did he give you any troubles?” Baekhyun asked softly as I leaned into his embrace.

“No...I’m just....he’s just one of my bestfriends....I never want to walk out on him like that.”

“He deserved it.” Baekhyun said quietly. “I don’t know why he’s acting like that but whatever it is...you two just need some time apart from each other.”

“I know...I’m just tired already. Can I go to sleep now?” He pulled me away from him and smiled.

“Of course. The bed on the right is mine, I don’t think Ji Eun would be very happy if you slept with her hyper boyfriend.” He leaned in beside my ear before whispering. “Besides, Chanyeol is the last person you want to share a bed with, he tends to hurt people in his sleep and his limbs are too long.”

“Hyung, I heard that.” Chanyeol called from his spot on the bed. I jumped at the sound of his voice, not entirely expecting him to eavesdrop on our conversation. “Hi Yoonae.” He grinned, waving from the bed.

“Hey.” I greeted him before Baekhyun started ushering me towards the bathroom.

“Get changed and then you can sleep alright?”

Without a single word of argument, I followed his orders and emerged from the bathroom after freshening up. I got into the bed with him and relaxed in his arms.

Chanyeol sighed from the other side of the room. “I miss Ji Eun now.”

“Why?” I asked him.

“Look at you two! You’re so lovey dovey!” I flushed red at his comment and beside me, Baekhyun coughed.

“You’re lucky I’m not going to tell Luhan-hyung about this.” Chanyeol teased. “I better not be hearing any noises tonight.”

“Shut up and sleep Chanyeol.” Baekhyun growled. We all shut up then. Baekhyun held me slightly closer before humming lightly into my ear.

I sighed and snuggled into his warmth. For once, I forgot everything going on in my life.

The next day was hectic. We woke up early in the morning to catch a flight home. On the plane, Jongin walked over to me and continued to pester me to talk to him, telling me that he could finally explain himself.

In the end, I looked him in the eyes and asked him what his reason was.

“I....I don’t know....” With that, I turned away in frustration and plugged in my headphones.

As soon as we got back in Korea, I called Ji Eun out. 

“What’s up?” She asked me as we sat in my house.

I let out a deep breath before starting. “Jongin kissed me.”

“HE WHAT?!”

“He kissed me.” I repeated, finally giving in to the truth myself.

“B-but...WHY?”

“I don’t know....apparently he doesn’t know either.”

She scoffed. “Because he’s a jerk!”

“Oh....that? You should probably hear the end of it before you call him a jerk.”

“Why? He did more? YOONAE WHAT DID HE DO TO YOU?!”

“NOTHING!.....At least....nothing physically. He told me to break up with Luhan.”

“WHAT? WHAT IS WRONG WITH HIM? IS HE INSANE?”

“I don’t know anymore Ji Eun. I’m so tired of all this.” I buried my face in my hands. “This was never supposed to happen.”

She reached over and wrapped her arms around me soothingly. “I’m sorry Yoonae-ah....you’re not going to do it are you?”

“OF COURSE NOT!”

She grinned, “That’s all that matters. Luhan’s too good of a catch to let go. But if Jongin continues to bother you, you better tell me and I’ll kick his for you. Set that jerk straight.”

I flinched at the thought of that. “You wouldn’t beat him up...would you?”

She gave me an “are you underestimating me?” look.

“Please don’t...”

“I can’t believe you’re still sticking up for him!” She yelled exasperatedly. “I swear, you better warn him Yoonae. He bothers you one more time, he’s going down.”

I couldn’t help but laugh at my friend’s behaviour. “Thanks Ji Eun. It means a lot to me, seriously.”

She grabbed me into a headlock and started messing up my hair. “What are friends for?”

---

That night, after Ji Eun left, I talked to Luhan on the phone. It started off all innocent and everything but somehow, everything was messed up in the end.

“Come on Yoonae, I know for a fact that you and Jongin are a lot closer now.” Luhan said.

“We’re not!” I protested one more time, kicking my mattress in frustration. “Luhan, would you just drop this? I really don’t want to talk about him right now.”

“And why not?”

“Why should we?”

“Why shouldn’t we?”

“Fine! If that’s all that we’re going to talk about, then I’m hanging up. I’m tired.” I said with finality.

“Alright then, goodnight princess.” He remarked sarcastically.

“I’m not a princess!”

“You sure are acting like one!”

“Oh really?”

“I don’t even want to argue with you anymore Yoonae. Goodnight.”

“What? That’s it?” I growled into the phone.

“What do you want from me? You said you wanted to sleep.”

“I said if we keep talking about Jongin then I’m going to sleep.”

“In that case, then I guess you should just go to sleep.”

“Why do you want to talk about Jongin anyways?” I almost yelled in anger. He didn’t sound too pleased either.

“I don’t know, maybe because you two are so close now. Maybe because you listen to every single word he says. Maybe because you two look at each other like love sick puppies and I’M SICK OF IT. Maybe because you two like to run off all ALONE.”

“Oh so you’re blaming this on me now?” I was almost on the edge of tears. If only he knew what happened while we were alone. If only he knew that all this time, all I’ve ever done was stick up for him. Screw Jongin, I only thought about him all this time.

“I don’t know. You tell me Yoonae. You tell me! Should I be concerned that you and my bestfriend are practically all over each other-”

“WE’RE NOT!” He ignored me and continued.

“Should I be concerned that even though I was there the entire time, all you could do was think about Jongin? During the show, Jongin needs this, Jongin needs that. Jongin needs some water. Jongin needs a towel. Jongin needs to fix his hair. Jongin-”

“JONGIN AND I GOT IN A FIGHT BECAUSE OF YOU!” I finally snapped. There was a tense silence over the line as both of us collected our thoughts.

“I see...” He finally spoke quietly. “It’s my fault now right? I’m getting in the way.”

I immediately panicked. “No. Luhan, no. That’s not what I meant. That’s definitely not-”

“That’s what you meant Yoonae.”

“No it’s not, Luhan, please.” I begged, crying now. Why couldn’t he listen to me? Just this once, why couldn’t he just listen?!

“It’s getting late. Goodnight.”

“Luhan-” I was cut off by the sound of beeping in the background. I buried my head in the blankets and hugged my knees close to my body.

I kept crying for what seemed like hours on end.

“But I love you.” I whimpered, my heart throbbed endlessly in pain. “Luhan...”

---

It was a few days after and once again, we were backstage getting ready for EXO-K’s weekly performances. Every day since the argument I had with Luhan, I cried myself to sleep. Every night was spent with the same nightmare, me begging him to listen, while every hour of the morning was spent thinking about nothing but him.

“Yoonae, can we talk?”

I looked up from putting away the makeup and found Jongin looking at me with concern in his eyes.

“Are you okay?”

“I’m fine Jongin, leave me alone.” I lied. I began packing faster. To be honest, Jongin was the last person I wanted to see at the moment.

“Yoonae, can we please talk about what happened at Disney...”

Disney....that’s what started all of this. I looked up at him, giving him the coldest look I could manage. He flinched when he met my eyes.

“L-Listen, Yoonae I-”

“No Jongin. Why should I listen to you?”

Luhan never listened to me. I tried to explain to him, but he never listened to me. I wouldn’t feel like and we would still be talking if he had just listened!

“Please Yoonae? I just need one minute. Just give me one minute to explain.”

“I don’t need to hear your explanations.”

“Yes you do-”

“NO I DON’T!” Everybody in the room turned to look at us. I pulled him to a more secluded corner before glaring at him again.

“YOU need to listen to me Kim Jongin. I’m sick and tired of your games! I don’t give a about what your explanation is anymore alright? Just leave me alone.”

He was stunned. We stood there in silence. That’s right, I have never snapped at him before. I rarely cursed in the first place but I couldn’t help but let it slip this time.

“Yoonae...what happened?” I knew he was just caring about me but I couldn’t take it anymore.

“Luhan and I got in a fight. We’ve never even remotely argued before, but he won’t even talk to me now after the fight.” I stood my ground, burying my tears from the memories of that night.

“You got...”

“Yeah. Luhan is really pissed off right now. And so am I. We got in the worst argument I could ever imagine and you know what Jongin? It’s all because of you!”

He stepped back a bit, shocked.

I smiled bitterly at him, feeling my tears running down my cheeks, all my resolve was gone.

“I’m begging you Jongin, just stop it alright? Just stay out of my life.”

With that, I walked away.
