Chapter 50
To dance with Minho was even better than to dance with Key. He had taken my hands and it was more like we danced together and not just next to him. It wasn't a close dance or somethng like that. It was a dance of two good friends who wanted to have a nice evening. And it felt like that. Once someone from behind pushed me he caught me and we were laughing and smiling while singing along the songs tha DJ put on. Thought it was really dark in the room, I could see him precisly and know and then he looked really funny because of the colourful lights and laser.
Sometime he said: "I'm sorry but I need a break." I just nodded and hand in hand we tried to get away from the dance floor.
"You'd like to go outside? I need some fresh air." I nodded again. My voice was already really broken from screaming all the time. We passed a lot of people, all stading really close to each other. Suddenly Minho put his arm around my shoulder and gave me a meaning-ful look. I looked at the group of people he just looked at. Five young men about 20 were watching me. When they noticed my look one after the other started smiling and when I felt I was turning red the smiled changed into grins. Minho's arm was still around my shoulder and when we passed the group one of them blinked at me. I was so stupid. Why I was looking at them!! I turned around my head to see where we were going. We already had reached a door. Minho opened it and let me go outside. It was like a big balcony from where you could see Seoul coloured in the different lights og the night. We went to the balustrate and leaned on it.
"Don't think that I mind seeing boys flirting with you", he said immediately when we had reached it. "It's just that I know them more or less and I can tell you that they are not nice to girls." I looked at him and wanted to say something but he was faster.
"They often took a girl just for one night, if you know what I mean." I nodded.
"It's okay, I don't mind", I said "I think I'm lucky that you acted like this. I don't know if I had liked them and I think I hadn't known how to react to their behaviour." I gave him a smile and he smiled back.
"I'm happy we talked about that." He grinned at me.
We didn't say anything for some time till Monho suddenly started laughing silently.
"What's so funny, oppa?", I asked him. He grinned bright.
"Nothing, ehm. I just noticed the plenty of male friends you have. Compared to your female friends." I laughed brief. Now that he mentioned it, I noticed it, too.
"I don't know if you believe me when I say that in Germany it was the other way round, but it's like that." He rose his eyebrows.
"Really?" I nodded.
"Most of my friends are girls. Like it's the normal case. Of course there are some boys I really like –as a friend- but I think they are more like acquaintances."
"And here in Korea most of your friends are boys, aren't they?" I nodded.
"Yes, but the boys from my school I don't know that well. I know the girls better. Hwa Young and Mi Hi are my friends, the other girls are like the German Boys, acquitances. I like them and I like spending time with them, but for example I wouldn't tell them a secret." I was really bad at explaining things. I hated that. Minho nodded.
"I think I understand you." He gave me a smile and continued "So you would tell me a secret?" His smile changed into a grin. I laughed.
"Maybe. I think it depends on which secrte."
"You have many?", he asked curious. I laughed again.
"Maybe."
"You wanna tell me one? I think I'd like to know one." His grin was really bright.
"I'm not sure if that's a good idea."
"Oh, you don't have to worry! I can keep it, I promise!" I thought about it.
"So what do you wanna know?", Iasked him.
"Well, if I ask you about something it's not really a secret you tell me but I think it's okay." I looked at him while he was thinking about whatever.
"Do you love someone? I mean, really love. Did you fall in love with somebody I know?" You could hear the curiosity of his vocie. I laughed and shook my head. I knew that hthis question would be posed. I looked at him and shook my head again.
"No, I'm not in love with somebody", I said "And that's the absolute truth." Minho's face changed so that it looked like he was thinking hard about what I said.
"You have so many boys around you and you didn't fall in love?", he asked finally. I nodded.
"Yes, you got it." He shook his head.
"You're a strange girl." I laughed.
"Don't laugh! I mean, how many girl would like to be a couple with the boys you are friends with –please don't get it wrong, I don't wanna sound arrogant. And you are just…" He didn't find the words and stopped. I shrugged.
"I understand what you mean. But I can't tell you why I'm like this." I sighed.
There was silence again. Minho looked again like he was thinking hard and I was wondering what he thought about.
It was cold here outside but I enjoyed the cold and fresh air. I didn't wanted to go inside again.
"Shall we go in again?", Minho asked just in that moment. I shook my head.
"But you're cold", he noticed.
"I wanna stay outside, it's okay." Stupid me forgot the sweatshirt jacket inside. I had handed it to the nice woman at the cloakroom and hadn't taken it with me outside. Suddenly Minho held his jacket towards me. He had been so clever to take it. I shook my head.
"It's okay, I don't need one. You should keep it." He sighed.
"I don't need one, really", he said, then took my hand. Compared to his, my hand was –as usual- as cold as ice. He sighed again and held the jacket so that I could put it on. I wanted to shake my head again but he was faster and said: "C'mon"
His jacket was warm because he had worn it before he had handed it to me.
"Thanks", I just said.
"I don't want you to catch a cold or freeze to death." I laughed.
"I wouldn't. My hands are always cold like that", I explained and was really happy about the jacket.

"We have to go", Mnho suddenly sid after having a look at his watch. I nodded.
We had talked the whole time and had staid outside on the balquonie. I had enjoyed the time. We went inside and Minho showed me the way. I noticed all the people. There were more than before. But there weren't only more people, but they were all more drunk. We walked through the crowds. On the way outside I hadn't had noticed that it had taken o much time to do it. I walked close behind Minho. I thought I could even see the entrance where we wanted to meet the others.
Suddenly a hand grabbed mine fro behind when I already could see Key, Jonghyun and Onew.
"Hey Honey", I heard the guy saying who still hold my hand tight.
"Let me go", I hissed at him. There was a foolish smile on the face of the young man. He was really drunk.
"Why should I do that? You're way to pretty to let you go." I hadn't thought that his smile could be madder. I just wanted to give him an answer when I heard the boys behind me.
"Let her go, Nam Kyu", I heard Minho saying right behind me, his hand on my shoulder. I tried to unhook my hand from his and I was successful.
"Hey, leave us alone!", he boy Minho had called Nam Kyu shouted at him. Finally I identified him. He and the men around him had been looking at me when Minho and I had walked outside.
"C'mon, let's go", I heard Onew saying. He was right behind me, too. We turned around but Minho who gave Nam Kyu a last evil look before he came with us. Just int that moment when I turned around again to see if Minho was coming with us –he had already turned away from the young man- he got hit by a fist. Right into his face.
The next second the bodyguards from the entrace appeared and screamed at Nam Kyu who was laughing. Minho was standing a few metre away trying to stopp the blood of his nose. I gave him a hanky.
"You're okay?", I asked. He nodded.
"I'm fine. Didn't expected that." It sounded like he was awkward because of that. I tried to wipe away allthe blood from his face. His nose had stopped bleeding but his face was full of it.
"Thanks," he said when I thought that it was gone. I couldn't really see it because of the less light in here.
"You're really okay?", I heard Key asking behind me. Minho nodded again.
"I wanna go, c'mon. Don't wanna stay here." We went outside and entred the car which should take us home.
