STATUS: Finding Mr. Right.

"Aren't you going to sleep yet?" Minho asked.. which made her startled. Her head was rested on the counter.. she's too sleepy but she's not yet done with her work.

"No.. I still have 50 pieces of cupcakes inside the oven.." she said.. just on time when her classic kitchen timer dinging loudly... insinuating that the cupcakes were done.

"Oh it's done.." said Minho.

"Yeah.. but I need to clean up first." she said while bringing out the cupcakes from the oven.

"C'mon just leave it there.. I'll do that in the morning okay?" Minho suggested.. 

Sulli look at him and smiled. "Aww Minho? You sure?" she asked.. sometimes she wondered why God let her have him as his friend.. and not a lover? she don't know the answer and maybe there's no answer `to that.. or simply because God wanted her to have someone whom she could rely on, a relationship which could last for a lifetime. 

"Yeah.. so finish that one and go up now." Minho mandated..

"Okay.. hmm swear Minho if ever I never found my Mr. Right and become an old maid. I would really be a good Auntie with your children.. I owe you a lot." she said which made Minho laugh.

"Silly! You won't end up an old maid. I'm sure with that.." said Minho.

She shrugged. "You're right.. it's too early to tell. But hey I'm 27 and you are 30. Do you think it's time for you to find someone whom you're going to introduce with Auntie and Uncle?" she asked.

"Aish.. let's not talk about it now. You finish that and go up, okay! I'll go ahead.. just leave the mess there. I'll do it tomorrow." said Minho while taking his step towards the staircase.

Sulli shook her head. "Ah.. what's with that man?" she thought. Everytime they're talking about marriage and serious relationships he will avoid the topic or else he won't listen to you. Is he really that scared of getting married?.. That wasn't the first time they talked about it and everytime she's trying to open up those things with him he's going to change the subject nor ask her back.. and she will end up the one only talking. So it was really unfair for her not knowing what he likes.. nor his thoughts about getting married. Some said that it is much better to ask a guy in regards of future plans because you'll learn a lot from them but with Minho.. she can't rely on him with that matter. Maybe because her bestfriend isn't done yet being a bachelor. For Christ sake he's 30 and he never had a serious relationship.. even if she nag him about it he will just shove her away. Telling her otherwise that it his life and he can always get someone to marry if ever he came to that point. Sulli let out a sigh.. Minho would be giving her worries if ever she already found Mr. Right. "Who would take care of him?" she thought. 

After gaining back her thoughts from worrying too much of Minho's future.. she finish cleaning up a bit and then she followed Minho upstairs. She just take a sneak peek into his room and found him sleeping soundly on his bed.

She stared at his sleeping figure before mumbling her goodnights.. 

"Goodnight Super Minho.." she said.. before heading to her own room. 

7 Years Back..

(week after the incident)

Sulli was seated on a bench reading a book that she barrowed from the library when someone approached her.

"Hi can I join you?" said the male voice.. 

She wasn't so familiar with the voice so she looked up to see who it was and it was him. "Oh it's you.. yeah sure." she said tapping the space beside her.

"So how are you? Is he still harrassing you?" he asked... as he sat down next to her.

"Who? Jonghyun?" she asked.

"Yeah.. who else?" he replied shrugging off his shoulder.

Sulli shook her head. "No, not at all. Thanks to you." she said as she smiled coyly at him... then an awkward moment filled the air. They weren't close yet but she can sense that he is a good person.. and somehow she felt she wanted to know him more. "Hmm.. how about you? What are you doing here?" she asked.. trying to open up a conversation but it seemed her question were inappropriate. 

"Ah I'm sorry, are you waiting for someone? Am I occupying his..her seat?" he asked.

"Oh no it's not that.. I'm not waiting for anyone. I mean .. I seldom seen you in this area. How you ended up here?" she asked.. though truth is it was also her first time to be in that place too. 

Minho chuckled. "Should I be the one asking you that question? I never seen you in this place before.. because as far as I knew this is where me and my friends always hangout." he said.. 

Sulli gasped in emabarrassment. "Oh that? I'm sorry.. honestly this is my first time to be here. I better go." she said and was about to stand up from her seat but he stopped her.

"No, you can stay. It's safe here and serene." he said.. "Oh by the way.. here are my friends. I'll introduce you to them.. would you mind?" he asked politely.

"Ah.. sure." she smiled coyly.. then she saw him waving at the four people together with some girls probably on her age approaching them.

"Minho!!" one of the girls run towards them.. and kissed the guy beside her on the cheek. 

It made Sulli suddenly felt awkward.. she suppressed a smile and wiggle her brows.. letting them know about her presence

Minho felt embarassed due to Sulli's reaction...  he then cleared his throat. 

"Oh you're with someone." said the lady who seemed a one year younger than her.

"Yes.. this is Sulli. Sulli meet Naeun." Minho introduces them. "And she is my cousin." he added. 

Sulli almost gasped as she thought earlier that the pretty lass was his girlfriend. 

"And she's my girlfriend. Hi, I'm Taemin." a pretty young male with a mushroom hair extended his hand to her.

"Sulli.." she simply said.. accepting his hand and made a quick hand shake as Naeun pulled Taemin right away from her. Naeun give her a stay-away look to her which almost made her chuckle since in the first place.. Taemin isn't her type he's too pretty for her taste. She throw her both hands up as if telling the girl not to worry.. 

"Yah Naeun.. that's rude." Minho scolded.

"I'm just reminding her." said Naeun..who clung onto Taemin's arm possessively which made the pretty lad shook his head. 

"Uhmm.. sorry about that." Minho apologize in behalf of Naeun. 

She just wave her hand to him as she's like telling him it was nothing.. since she's pretty use to encounter of some jealous girlfriend almost everyday.

Then the three guys together with their partners followed to approach them.
