"_______-ya, you know Kris didn't mean that, right?" SuHo oppa asks. I don't answer. "_______-ya," he calls.

"....I know..." I finally answer.

"Then why did you say that?" Kai questions.

"You guys wouldn't know..." I say quietly.

"What?" ChanYeol asks.

"Nothing!" I answer with a smile. "Sorry for doing that..." I apologize.

I head to the entrance.

"_______-ya..." D.O calls softly.

"I'm fine! I'll just go fetch Kris oppa! I'll be back in a minute!!" I say.

"No!! Stay!!!!" BaekHyun pleads, hugging me very tightly.

"BaekHyun-ah..... I'm fine. I'll be back, OK?" I say, softly pushing him away.

"NO!!!!! You'll go somewhere if I let you go...." he hugs me back instantly, whining like a little child.

"I'll come back," I tell him, pushing him away, more forcefully this time.

I turn around and hurry out the door.

"_______-YA!!!!" I hear the boys call to my back.

I rush away from my own house, before I let my feelings leak out.

"I'm sorry oppa.... Are you sure you're fine with this?" I apologize.

"It's fine~ I live alone anyway~" SeokJin oppa asures with a smile. "Here, eat!!" he says, placing the plate in front of me.

As we eat, the flavor tastes so similar to the ones XiuMin oppa makes, it makes my eyes water.

"Are you OK? Do you not like it?" SeokJin oppa asks, concerned.

"I'm fine! It's just that....." I stop. I try to hold the tears in, but they fall out.

SeokJin oppa puts his chopsticks down and rushes to my side. He my back kindly.

He doesn't say anything, just his action calms me down.

I wipe my tears away and show him a smile.

"Thank you, oppa. I'm fine," I say. He sighs.

"It's OK to cry, you know," he says softly. I blink. He my hair.

"Don't cry...."

He pulls me into a warm hug. I can feel his heartbeat that beats too fast.

"_______-ya..... I like you.... A lot..... So... do you want to go out with me...?" he confesses.

My heartbeat picks up speed as well.

I nod. "I..... like you too, oppa...." I confess.

We hold each other in each other's embraces with our hearts pounding.

This is the feeling I wanted..... this comfort......

Now I won't have to hold my feelings back anymore.

I can let it all out to SeokJin oppa, right?

......Like I used to with the boys.........

Hey~~~~~
