"Never commit yourself to someone if there's another person in your heart as well; no one deserves that."

"You sure you doing alright?" Jessica assisted Krystal to her bedroom after finally being released from the hospital after a day.

Krystal nodded her head, sitting up on her bed; "I'm doing fine." she assured her sister.

Jessica sat next to her, moving some hair out of her face; "I heard Kai was able to visit you this afternoon; how is that little goof ball doing?"

Krystal laughed. Out of all her friends, Kai's always been Jessica's favorite.

It wasn't that hard to like Kai because he was so funny, lovable, and so easy to get along with. If Krystal didn't know better, she'd think that maybe even Jessica had a little secret crush on him.

"He's doing great; it was really sweet of him to show up. He actually told me he visited me at like 2am but I was already asleep." Krystal said.

Jessica nodded her head, "Kai's always cared for you; no matter what time of day, he'd be there no matter what."

Krystal smiled, that was true. Just one call and Kai would be at her place within a matter of minutes. He wasn't her best friend for no reason after all.

"He also told me something else unnie.." Krystal fiddled with her thumbs, wondering how to bring up the subject.

Jessica smiled back, assuring she could tell her anything; "What is it?"

Krystal took a breath, "Well last night, Minho oppa actually came and visited me. After Jonghyun and the INFINITE guys left."

Jessica gave her a suspicious glare, "Did you just call Minho "oppa"?" she smirked.

"That's not what we're talking about right now." Krystal avoided the question; even though the topic she wanted to talk about was Minho.

"But back to my story," Krystal started, "When him, Kris, & Lay came; he said that Minho was still with me."

Jessica looked down, not surprised because she was the one who had to wake Minho up to tell him he should get going; "I know."

"And then he-" Krystal began, "Wait, you knew?"

Jessica nodded her head, "When I came to visit you at like 9am, Minho was still there. He was knocked out and super lucky I was the one who came and not Jonghyun; or else that would've looked horrible."

Krystal pouted, confusion in her eyes; "Unnie, am I a horrible person for still having feelings for Minho even though it's completely wrong?"

Jessica shook her head, running her hands through her hair as a sign of security; "You're not a horrible person Krystal, not one bit. You can't help what your heart feels; that's pretty damn impossible." she said, "But I need to ask you one thing, do you like Jonghyun?"

Krystal looked at her hands, "I would lie if I said I didn't; but I would also be lying if I said I liked him more than Minho. But the thing with Jonghyun, he's not hard to like. Every time I'm with him, I feel like a princess who is always being served by her prince. He never fails to make me laugh or smile and always cheers me up if I'm feeling down. As for Minho, I rarely get to really speak to him or spend time with him; but when I do, I never want it to end. I have this never-ending smile and butterflies fly all over my stomach. I get nervous and shy, whereas with Jonghyun, I'm pretty comfortable around him now."

"Now that's when things can get really confusing." Jessica told her, "If I were you, I would test out your relationship with Jonghyun for a little bit longer and see if your feelings for Minho go away. If they're still there after even around a couple weeks, you need to end things with Jonghyun before both of you get hurt. Never commit yourself to someone if there's another person in your heart as well; no one deserves that."

Krystal nodded her head; leaning forward to give Jessica a hug.

"Thank you." Krystal told her in appreciation.

---

The next day at filming, Minho looked around until Krystal finally showed up.

"Where is she?" he mumbled.

Ji Won rolled her eyes, walking over to him; she startled him by touching his shoulder, "She's already here, she's just checking up on some paper work in her room. Don't worry too much."

Minho glared at her jokingly, "Who said I was looking for Krystal?"

Ji Won nodded her head, "Right.."

"Where's your precious little Ha Neul?" Minho teased back, poking her forehead.

She pushed his hand away, "He's in the bathroom. Ooh by the way, how are you and Sulli doing?"

Minho shrugged his shoulders, "Definitely been better. Who knows, she's not my problem to deal with anymore."

---

Jin Hyuk & Krystal both approached the group of young actors, "Before filming, I would like to address something with you all."

"Krystal!" Ha Neul came running out of the bathroom, straight to Krystal as he lifted her up and gave her a tight hug.

Krystal gave him a weird look, slapping his back as a signal to put her down; "Missed you too Ha Neul." she laughed.

Ji Won rolled her eyes, "Ha Neul, leave the poor girl alone."

Minho chuckled as well.

When his eyes finally met Krystal, they just smiled in secrecy; nodding their heads and looking the other way.

Sulli stood by herself, crossing her arms over her chest. Krystal was the last person she wanted to see that day.

"I would just like all of us to welcome Krystal back and be thankful that she's healthy again." Jin Hyuk began clapping, followed by the rest of the cast and crew.

Krystal bowed, "Thank you for the warm welcoming, again." she covered and laughed, but when she did; she caught Minho's eyes again.

Minho smiled at her, mimicking her covering like before.

When Krystal saw, she immediately dropped her hand; blushing like crazy.

Sulli watched the two interact and all she wanted to do was strangle Krystal. Without hesitation, she raised her hand; "You must've called us all together to tell us something important, so just get to it please; lots of us need to get out of here as soon as possible."

Ha Neul shook his head, rolling his eyes; "Always gotta take the spotlight away now don't ya?"

Sulli shot him a glare, looking back at Jin Hyuk.

Jin Hyuk sensed the tension between Ha Neul & Sulli, so he decided to just cut to the chaste.

"Krystal & I would like to speak to you all about something." Jin Hyuk motioned for Krystal to step forward; who solemnly did.

Krystal smiled again, "I know the talk about me being added to the drama has been a huge topic lately; but I wanted to clear everything up and I have already spoken to the press about this." she began, "I will not be participating in this drama, meaning I won't be making a cameo either." she paused, looking at all their upset reactions; minus Sulli, who couldn't be any happier.

"I've put some thought into this and thought that this was probably for the best. I wrote this story for the many Minsul fans out there; and I don't want all their hopes to get crushed because of me, because I have absolutely no right." She smiled again, "I really hope you all understand and continue doing amazing work with my drama; which is unfortunately going to reach it's end eventually."

Minho crossed his arms over his chest; smiling. He was so proud of her choice; but upset at the same time. The only thing running through his mind was the fact that they could've had a kiss scene. Minho, chillax.

---

Once filming was over, everyone started to go their separate ways. Just like most days, the AC wasn't working; which caused everyone to get out there as soon as possible.

Sulli got picked up by Luna, Ha Neul & Ji Won left on their own, and Jin Hyuk said his goodbyes shortly after filming was over.

Krystal checked her phone and as expected, she got a text from Jonghyun.

"Sorry, I won't be able to pick you up today. I'm running through extra vocal practice. I hope you're feeling better babe. *kissy face emoticon*"

She giggled to herself, rolling her eyes as she texted back.

"That's fine, have fun at practice. I'll talk to you later. (:"

Minho was the last one left; along with Krystal.

He narrowed his eyes, wondering why Jonghyun wasn't there yet; it was almost 5pm, and he was never late.

Is Jonghyun always leaving me alone with her on purpose or? he thought to himself.

"Hey, Minho." Krystal said.

Whenever Krystal said his name, Minho swore it was like a song being sung by the most amazing choir. It brought joy to his ears. He turned around, flashing her a smile, "Yeah?"

She bit her lip, swaying side to side. Right as she was about to speak, the talk between her, Kris, and Lay popped into her mind. What if he does like me back?

"Krystal?" Minho waved his hand in front of her face, "You're doing okay, right?"

Krystal finally snapped out of it, nodding her head; "I just wanna say thanks again for the night you visited me at the hospital. That talk, I felt like I could really trust you with it."

"That's no big deal." Minho said, not realizing how bad that sounded; "I mean, it is a big deal; but you can trust me and I definitely don't think that anyone deserves that treatment." he scratched the back of his neck, blushing in nervousness.

She laughed, touching his shoulder; "It's fine. But anyways, Jonghyun can't pick me up today and Jessica's helping trainees at the SM building so.."

"You want me to take you home right?" Minho cut her off.

Krystal nodded her head, "If that won't be a problem; please." she pouted, putting her hands in a prayer stance; "After all, you did tell me that you would be here whenever I needed someone."

Minho smiled down at her; flattered that she remembered his exact words. He nodded his head, motioning for her to come follow him; "We can get the ice cream you owe me too."

"Sounds great." Krystal giggled, following Minho to his car.

---

Minho pulled up into the parking lot of a local ice cream place and parked; about to get out of the car.

Krystal tugged his arm; looking at him like he was the stupidest person ever.

"What?" Minho leaned back again, looking at her confused; "Do you not want to get out?"

She stared at him for a little bit, "You do realize this is a public place and if I'm seen with you; that would look insanely horrible."

"Oh yeah.." Minho scratched the back of his neck, "I didn't really think this through."

Krystal laughed, "I can tell."

Minho pursed his lips, "What do you wanna do then?"

"Well, honestly I still really want ice cream.." Krystal smiled sheepishly, "This place has a drive thru right?"

Minho nodded his head, "Good plan! But where do you wanna eat? I can't take you back to my dorm because that's too risky."

Krystal pursed her lips, "I guess we can go back to my place? Jessica isn't home anyways."

"I knew you just wanted me all to yourself." Minho winked.

Krystal swore that time froze when he winked; the only person she could see was him, and only him.

Minho likes you Krystal. He likes you a whole fcking lot. Those words kept ringing in her head; and she couldn't just wrap her mind around the fact that maybe, just maybe they might be true.

---

Krystal opened up the door to her house and let Minho in; just as expected, the place was empty.

"You've been here once right?" She asked him while taking off her shoes.

Minho did the same, nodding his head; he kicked his shoes off with his own feet while holding the ice cream cups in his hands. He nodded his head, "It was just before Kai's party; when I picked you up. Other than that, I haven't been past your living room." he chuckled.

Krystal smiled at him, "I'll give you a tour." She grabbed her mint-chocolate chip ice cream from his hand and took a spoonful into ; "Well, this is my living room. My parents have always been into taking candid pictures and putting them all over the place; so that's why we're loaded."

Minho walked around; he couldn't help but smile at every picture that Krystal came across him. "You're so pretty." he quietly mumbled under his breath.

Krystal pretended as if she didn't hear. She blushed; moving some hair behind her ear.

"Was this taken recently?" Minho pointed at a picture of her and Jessica by a garden of yellow and purple flowers.

"Actually, I think that's a couple years old now. I was only 17 in that picture; if I remember correctly." Krystal corrected.

Minho nodded his head, "Your guys' place is pretty big considering that your parents don't live with you guys anymore." he commented.

"Yeah, we get that a lot." Krystal giggled, "Jessica and I found it useless to go and look for a smaller place when so many memories were made here; plus, that would be too much work."

Minho kept watching how moved when she spoke, how she would always try to giggle whenever she felt a moment was awkward. That was so precious to him.

Krystal motioned for him to follow her; pointing, "That's the kitchen, obviously. Nothing too special. I'll take you upstairs and show you my room; I'm sure Jessica wouldn't be too fond of me showing hers without her knowing."

Minho laughed, "Agreed. I bet it's like an igloo in her room."

"Yah." Krystal smacked his arm, "She's not that cold." she laughed, "But that was a good one."

Minho smiled to himself; whenever he made Krystal laugh, he just became more and more satisfied with himself.

Krystal opened up her bedroom, "Don't become too shocked at my room. Remember, I'm still a teenage girl at heart."

Minho's face lit up at the sight of her bedroom; she was right. She was a teenage girl at heart.

Up on her walls were countless posters of of kpop groups; but the biggest thing he noticed was that there was a separate wall in her room dedicated to SHINee themselves. She had a dresser in front of the wall that consisted of every album SHINee's released, along with memorabilia such as photo books, tumblers, pins, backpacks, everything any fangirl would want.

But even when he thought he's seen everything, next to all her posters of SHINee was a basketball uniform framed. And signed.

By every single member of SHINee.

He turned his head and looked at Krystal with utter amusement, "You were the girl who brought in a uniform to sign!" he exclaimed.

Krystal covered her face, feeling herself heating up. She nodded her head, "That jersey has always meant a lot to me; especially since it was the last year I played basketball. I felt that it only made sense to put 2 of my favorite things together; basketball and SHINee. So I was thankful that I got all your guy's signatures; and Jonghyun signed it recently as well."

"Your sister is Jessica Jung, why do you go through all the trouble to meet celebrities when she could simply introduce you to them?" Minho had wondered.

Krystal laughed, "I get this question a lot." she answered, "But it's because I want to be fair. If my sister wasn't Jessica; I would have to go through the countless hours of waiting in line and paying loads of money for albums and memorabilia. I just want to experience life of a true teenage fangirl."

Minho couldn't help but smile; she was the most down to Earth girl he'd ever met.

Being an idol, Minho knew that he had fans from all over. But no one really stuck out to him until Krystal came along. He could remember specifically that day where she came. It was exactly 3 years ago.

"Would you be freaked out if I told you that I remember the exact day and I could probably recall every single second of meeting you?" Minho mindlessly asked; his heart beating out of his chest.

Krystal gave him a weird look; crossing her arms over her chest, "I know I can't forget that moment. So please, enlighten me and tell me what you remember." she smirked.

"Everyday, we meet so many fans. Most of them usually get dressed up and try to look their best when they see us; but you, you were different." Minho began.

*flashback*

"Today's probably our biggest fan-meet to date." Key leaned over to Minho to say something in his ear.

Minho nodded his head, "It that Jonghyun isn't here though; I'm sure lots of these fans are upset."

Taemin reached over to Minho to grab a new Sharpie, "It's fun though because you never know which fan is biased to who; Jonghyun is probably meeting lots of fans in Taiwan anyways."

Onew chuckled, looking up at another fan with a wide smile; "Have a lovely day; it was great to meet you!"

The fan squealed in utter joy; Onew never failed to be a sweetheart.

Minho's head went back and forth; from signing, then up to looking at a fan, then all over again. Sometimes he'd go dizzy constantly doing that; but at the end of the day, it was always worth it.

"Don't forget to buy our new album!" Minho pointed at the posters behind him; their title track 'Hello' was already becoming a huge hit everywhere.

"That's a new one." Key pointed his lips towards the direction of the door being flung open.

The fan-meet was over in 10 minutes and the final fans came piling in; but specifically one person caught all their eyes.

A girl, quite petite with long, black, wavy hair came running through the doors in sweat pants, Jordans, a plain t-shirt, and minimal makeup. Something that was quite unusual for them to see; looks like they did have normal fans.

In her hands was a basketball jersey that she gripped as if her life depended on it.

Minho turned his head to look at what Key was talking about; and he couldn't help but let out a subtle chuckle. "She barely made it."

Taemin smiled, "Some fans are so dedicated that you can't help but just feel so thankful."

Onew nodded his head, "She's the last one who got through the door."

After countless more fans came by, the girl finally reached Onew at the table.

Being the last fan made things so much more at ease; they didn't have to rush, especially because they didn't have a schedule afterwards.

"What would you like to us to sign?" Onew smiled, looking up at her.

She handed him her jersey, "I have a silver Sharpie; if you need one." she offered.

Onew chuckled, "This is a new kind of thing; but I like it." he reached to grab her pen, "What's your name?"

Krystal bit her bottom lip in embarrassment, her face flushed; "Krystal, with a K."

Onew signed it on the back, as neat as he could; and ended it off with a smiley face.

Next came Taemin, who simply did the same thing back.

But, he gave her a firm handshake and said that she was a natural beauty.

Minho rolled his eyes at Taemin; he was such a little greaseball.

Krystal moved over to Minho; covering her face for seeing her favorite member in person for the 2nd time.

"Why are you covering your face? You have a gorgeous smile." he smiled back, signing her jersey.

She blushed again, redder than usual; "Thank you so much; you don't understand how much this means to me." Krystal bowed, moving forwards to Key; who signed as well, and even stood up to give her a hug.

"You all are the best, SHINee hwaiting!" She gave them a fist in the air; causing all of them to do the same and just laugh all together.

Fans like those always made their day.

Minho smiled to himself; "She gave off such a soothing aura; that's what I like."

"And I'm sure you won't like that." Key looked at the door that Krystal was exiting.

She met up with a boy around her age and gave him a tight hug.

But that wasn't it; she kissed him. On the lips.

Key was right. Minho didn't like that one bit.

*end of flashback*

But Minho was smart enough to leave that out of the story as he explained everything to Krystal in detail.

I hope all you Minstal shippers enjoyed this chapter because this was probably the most Minstal in one chapter so far. (':

Minho's got one good memory, eh?

What do you think Krystal's reaction is going to be?

Do you think Minho's going to confess now?
