“Rong-ah, you like Woohyun, don’t you?”

“Mwoh?” Chorong was taken by surprise.

Minhyuk chuckled. “Yah! I’ve known you for so long, I can read you like a book. Did you think I couldn’t tell?”

“He’s a player, and a leopard never changes its spots,” she stated matter-of-factly.

“You’re afraid.”

“What do you think?” She asked sacarstically.

“I think-“

“It was a rhetorical question.”

Minhyuk ignored her comment and continued, “I think you need to open your heart to someone, don’t be afraid to love. Don’t be affected by your parents’ failed relationship.”

“I will when I find someone to open my heart to,” she shrugged.

“Hmm…I’m a suitable candidate,” Minhyuk nudged her.

“Tch,” Chorong scoffed in disbelief.

He looked at her. I’m serious, Rong-ah.

“Hyung! Stop looking at your phone!” Zelo rolled his eyes at Woohyun, and the latter just ignored him.

“You’re really serious about her…” Doojoon realized.

Woohyun looked up from his phone. “Hyung! That’s what I told you weeks ago!”

Doojoon chuckled. “I know, but…”

“But its hard for a leopard to change its spots, so…” Yoseob continued.

“So you guys didn’t believe me?! Yah! You guys are supposed to be my chingus!”

“Arraseo, arraseo, I believe you now,” Doojoon said, “I’ve never seen you so flustered over a girl before.”

“Look! Chorong is coming to the cafeteria,” Yoseob said, “With… that Minhyuk guy… “

“Him again?!” Woohyun looked over. “Aishh..”

Doojoon chuckled and looked at his dongsaeng thoughtfully. “Woohyun-ah, what was it about her that made you unafraid to love?”

“Mwo?’ He was slightly caught off guard by the question, but knew that his friends were bound to ask, since they all knew about his past.

“Molla…but maybe… maybe its because she seems afraid to love.”

“Because she seems more afraid than you?” Yoseob guessed.

Woohyun sighed. “I don’t want her to be afraid to love…me.”
