“I got my ice cream! I got my ice cream! I got-!”

“SING ONE MORE WORD!” I dared Zelo, who eventually quieted down and his ice cream in silence. Yongguk sighed and flicked my forehead lightly as I tried to dodge, but failed.

“Yah, no one can dodge the best killer in Mato Planet!”

“Himchan oppa can though.”

“Yah, WHAT DID YOU SAY?!” Yongguk demanded, turning to Himchan who shrugged. Himchan cockily led the way inside the TS building, winking at workers who were girls.

Well, I hoped he only winked at girls.

“Jagiya, why won’t you talk to me?” Daehyun whined, intertwining our hands together. Even though my heart started beating fast, even though I wanted to grin, I remained cold.

I glared at him before trying to remove our hands that were glued together. He just smiled and walked leisurely as I tried with all my might to remove that hand from mind. My mind wanted it. However, my heart refuses.

“Jonguppie, help noona.” I pouted at Jongup, giving him the best puppy eyes I have. Those puppy eyes can change into a menacing glare if he doesn’t help me.

Jongup smiled and was about to say something, when he stopped abruptly. Jongup shook his head in amusement and stepped beside Zelo who was in front of us.

“Sorry noona, but your Daehyun’s now, not mine.” Jongup saluted me and faced to the front. I glared at his back, adding him in my prank plan along with Youngjae.

“You can not look at me forever, jagiya. Someday, you’ll look at me and realize how my smile can make up your day, and how your presence can sum up to a thousand years of happiness,” Daehyun caringly spoke as I turned to him.

That turtle had a dreamy smile as I tried to keep my heart inside my body. Any moment now, I’ll break down and hug Daehyun in happiness.

“Y-Yah! Don’t say things like that!” I responded weakly, staring at him in fear. Without noticing, a cart was already rolling full speed at me.

“NAMJOO!” Daehyun yelled as he yanked me to the side, covering my whole body with his.

“Sorry!” The cart pusher yelled before rolling the cart again, disappearing.

“Yah! Jung Daehyun! It’s not like she was going to die,” Yongguk told him, irritated. Daehyun cheekily smiled as he uncovered his body from mine. We stared walking again as Daehyun whistled a happy tune.

“Daehyun?”

“Yes, love?”

“Stop calling me that. And, what happened to the cold Daehyun? The one that I met a few weeks back? What happened to him?” I asked as Daehyun stopped whistling, thinking deeply.

By now, we already entered the meeting room, where B.A.P and their manager talk. We took a seat around the table, waiting for B.A.P’s manager. I sat in between Youngjae and Daehyun, since I had no choice because Daehyun’s hand was still intertwined with mine.

“I realized that, why be cold when you can be warm and caring? I’m tired of being unfeeling always. I always have to be that cold Daehyun the BABYs know. I can never be the smiling and fun Daehyun. I want to be that now. And Namjoo, you helped me with that.” Daehyun smiled so warmly at me, I almost melted.

“How?” I asked curiously, laughing a bit as Jongup touched Zelo shoulder and pretended that it wasn’t him.

“By being you. You showed me that Ice Princesses can also have a warm side. I believe this Ice Prince here also has one. Thank you for being yourself Namjoo. Without you, I would’ve never known how to express my feelings. Thank you.” Daehyun brought my hand to his lips, not breaking eye contact with me.

I felt his soft lips kiss the back of my hand as I blushed furiously. Daehyun smiled wide and patted my head.

“Our babies are growing up,” I heard Himchan commented as he wiped a fake tear from hi cheek. Yongguk looked at Himchan weirdly.

“OUR BABIES?!”

“Well you see, nine months ago-“

“Eh! Stop!” Yongguk covered his ears, looking at Himchan fearfully. I laughed a bit as Zelo chuckled at his playful hyung.

Just then, their manager came in, smiling at B.A.P.

“Hello,” B.A.P greeted, bowing ninety degrees to B.A.P’s manager. I stood up straight, staring at their manager with a hard expression. I didn’t like authority figures much, especially managers.

“Oh, and you’re Kim Namjoo,” Their manager greeted, extending his hand out. I looked at it once before flickering my eyes back to his face. He cleared his throat and dropped his hand. He smiled to B.A.P who already sat down.

“As you know, I called you here to make some arrangements in Bang Yongguk and Ji Eun’s song, ‘Going Crazy’.” Their manager, let’s call him Mr. Kang because that’s his name in his nametag, told them all.

“Why make changes? Are we going to perform it like we did with our other songs?” Jongup asked smartly, looking at Mr. Kang with a calculating expression.

“Jongup actually thought of something,” I commented sarcastically, earning a glare from Jongup. Mr. Kang cleared his throat again. Seriously, does he have something inside there?! I advise him to spit it out.

“Jonguppie is right. You guys will be performing ‘Going Crazy’. However, Yonggukkie will not be the rapper and Ji Eun won’t be the female singer,” Mr. Kang addressed.

I stared at him in shock. Yongguk not rapping?! That’s… new.

“Then who will perform the song?” I pressed on, not caring if Zelo made an X with his arms. I was curious, so don’t blame me.

“You,” Mr. Kang answered simply. I laughed nervously, punching Mr. Kang in the shoulder lightly which he chuckled at.

“What do you mean Namjoo singing the song? Do you want everyone to turn deaf?” Daehyun said out loud, making me glare at the turtle. He stuck his tongue out at me before smiling.

“I’ve researched about her, and I found out that she’s really good in rapping. You write your own lyrics right? In your white notebook?” Mr. Kang asked me. I blinked at him twice before nodding, dumbfounded.

“That’s settled then. You are going to do Yonggukkie’s part in ‘Going Crazy’.” Mr. Kang announced, grinning brightly.

“But who will be her partner?” Youngjae asked curiously, leaning forward on table.

“It’s you, Youngjae,” Mr. Kang replied back, as if he expected Youngjae to know. My jaw dropped open, and so did six others.

“I though Daehyunnie will be her partner!” Youngjae protested loudly, standing up the same time as me and Daehyun.

“Don’t you want to sing?” Mr. Kang asked, puzzled at Youngjae’s behavior. Youngjae blushed and nodded slightly.

“Yes, but-“

“Then this matter is settled. Goodbye.” Mr. Kang shook hands with Yongguk before he left. Yongguk looked at Daehyun with worry.

“Daehyunnie-“ Himchan started to say when Daehyun cut him off.

“Congratulations, Youngjae. I hope you enjoy singing with her. When’s the next performance?” Daehyun asked Jongup harshly.

“Tomorrow night, a-at six o’clock in the evening,” Jongup responded, shaking slightly at Daehyun’s sudden change in his behavior.

“Good. That means I have free time to roam around. Good luck tomorrow Youngjae, and I suggest you two should practice, together” Daehyun emphasized the last part. He didn’t even glance at me before stalking out the door.

“Daehyun! I didn’t-!”
 

“Leave him be, Namu. Hyung is just jealous. He’ll get over it soon.” Zelo patted my back comfortingly as I managed a fake smile.

“Thanks, Zelo. Youngjae, should we practice?” I asked him sadly. Youngjae nodded before excusing himself from B.A.P as I followed him.

As we were walking down the long corridor, I spotted Daehyun talking to a receptionist. He laughed at what the receptionist said, who was a girl by the way.

“Namjoo, you know you don’t want to sing with me,” Youngjae whispered sadly, as my heart broke for my friend.

I patted his back soothingly.

“It’s okay Youngjae, I’ll have fun singing with you,” I told him, giving him yet another painful and fake smile. He nodded and entered the practice room. I sighed and followed after him.

No matter how many times I try to deny it, I really don’t want to sing with you Youngjae.

My thoughts wandered back to Daehyun, smiling and laughing.

I want to sing with him.

I want to sing with the guy that I have fallen for. 

I hoped you liked this chapter! Aww, is our Daehyunnie jealous? Kekeke. Don't worry! You know our Daehyunnie can't stay mad at Namu for long. Or can he? :D

Daehyunnie, I know you love Youngjae, but please don't eat him.
