"I've never seen someone so worried, scared, jealous, mad; all at the same time."

After filming was over, the cast and crew began to pack up after a long day.

Jin Hyuk walked towards the cast, smiling in satisfaction, “Once again, I’m so proud to be working with such a stellar cast. You all have done the best you could and tomorrow, we’ll be reading the comments on episode 2.”

“Yay!” Ji Won jumped, surprising Ha Neul, who had his arms wrapped around her waist from behind.

Krystal laughed, she loved how childish Ji Won is; she was a big ball of sunshine.

“You all are free to leave.” Jin Hyuk said, looking at Krystal, “Except I want to talk to you.”

Krystal looked at Jonghyun, “I’ll just hitch a ride home, you don’t need to stay.”

He looked at his watch, “I would ignore that and stay; but I have an OST to record.” Jonghyun pouted, “Text me later.”

“Of course.” Krystal smiled, kissing his cheek.

Minho & Sulli began walking away, but he heard his name being called.

“I want to talk to you too Minho.” Jin Hyuk ordered.

Minho nodded his head, giving Sulli a quick peck to the lips, “I’ll call you tonight.”

She glared at Krystal, but kissed Minho again, “You better babe.”

Once she was out the door, Minho walked towards Jin Hyuk & Krystal.

They were now the only three left.

“Look, I don’t know what went on between you two; but I don’t like it.” Jin Hyuk crossed his arms over his chest.

“Wh-what do you mean?” Both Minho & Krystal stuttered, clearly avoiding eye contact again.

Jin Hyuk shook his head, “That’s what I’m talking about. You guys can’t even look at each other.”

Krystal pulled her cardigan around her body tighter, staring at the ground, “It’s nothing.”

Jin Hyuk pointed at the empty room behind them, “I’m not letting either of you leave until you two fix whatever happened between you two. Now go.”

Jin Hyuk pushed them both into the room, going off into his own office until both of them spoke everything through.

---

Minho & Krystal stared at opposite walls, not saying a word to each other for what seemed to be almost 10 minutes.

But Minho decided to be the bigger man and speak up first, “Nothing happened between you and I; if that’s what you’re wondering.”

Krystal slowly turned around, looking up into his brown eyes.

“N-nothing at all?”

Minho sighed, he might as well just tell her now that they were alone, “Okay, I didn’t do anything. But you sure as hell are a mess when you’re drunk.”

She bit her bottom lip in embarrassment, “God damnit.”

He chuckled at her sudden cursing, “But I’m sure Kris was drunk as well; so he probably doesn’t remember anything.”

“Kris?! What the hell did I do with Kris?!” Krystal exclaimed, not knowing how exactly to react.

Minho grabbed Krystal’s shoulders and sat her down, “You should probably calm down. I’ll explain everything from what you probably don’t remember.”

After minutes of explaining, Krystal couldn’t help but shake her head and laugh at some situations.

“So, what you’re saying is that I was so hot you started stripping me?” Krystal raised her eyebrows; teasing him.

Minho flushed at how wrong what he had just said sounded, “Okay, you know what I mean.”

She laughed again, “So absolutely nothing happened between you and I?”

He sighed, “You were still in that phase and you kind of grabbed my,” Minho coughed, starting to feel a bit uncomfortable.

“Oh God.” Krystal covered , “I’m sorry.”

“Oh you don’t really have to be sorry because it felt-“ Minho’s eyes widened when he realized that he had just said that out loud.

Krystal ran her hands through her hair, pretending like she didn’t hear what he was about to say; “And after, we both just fell asleep right?”

Minho pursed his lips, “You pulled me down next to you and started, you know, kissing me. Not on the lips though. But then after that, I swear we both just fell asleep beside each other.”

She bit her lip again, “Damn, I’m a .”

“It was just because you were drunk. I’m sure if you were sober, nothing like that would’ve happened.” Minho gave her an assuring smile, “But, don’t worry; I swear I would never tell Jonghyun.”

“Thank you.” Krystal smiled, “I would never tell Sulli.”

Minho stretched his arms, “I’m glad that all this awkwardness is done and over with now.”

She stood up, “Me too Minho, me too.”

Krystal was about to grab the doorknob, but she turned around to look at Minho, “I really appreciate it.”

He narrowed his eyes at her, “Appreciate what?”

“The fact that you didn’t take advantage of me in that kind of state.” Krystal said, “It-it just proves you’re a really nice guy.”

Minho looked at her, her eyes seemed as if she was about to cry any minute now, “A-are you okay?”

She took a deep breath and nodded her head, wiping her face, “It’s just been a really long day.”

He reached for the door and opened it for her; still concerned on why she looked like that.

“Thanks again.” Krystal said, and before he knew it, she disappeared out of the studio.

Kai glanced over at Krystal after he parked the car in her driveway, “Are you okay? You’ve been quiet this whole car ride.”

She turned her head to him, “Do you have extra time? I kind of need someone to rant to and Jessica is with Donghae right now.”

“Of course.” Kai stepped out of the car and followed her into her house.

“What’s up?” Kai wondered, sitting down on the couch.

Krystal paced back and forth, biting her finger nails.

“Do you ever get the feeling of liking someone, but you know it’s absolutely wrong in every single way possible?” Krystal asked him.

Kai sighed, “I knew you’d end up falling for Minho eventually.”

She stopped pacing, turning her whole body to him, “How’d you know I was talking about Minho?”

“Krystal, you’re too easy to read.” Kai chuckled, “Take a seat now would you.”

Krystal sat on the couch opposite of him, “You know that I can’t like Minho. I could give you a list of reasons right now.”

Kai pursed his lips, “Jonghyun likes you; he’s taken. Those two are really the only problems to be honest with you.”

“But they’re not just any problems. Minho & Jonghyun are best friends; and I feel Sulli already hates me. It makes me feel like sht.” Krystal said, “Minho & I have barely even spoken to each other. But whenever I’m with him, I feel like I’ve known him forever.”

Kai watched as Krystal’s eyes twinkled as she spoke of the man she’s been idolizing for years, “I haven’t seen you this happy ever since you and MyungSoo dated.”

She blushed, setting her hands on her lap, “But whatever I’m feeling can’t stay for too long. Jonghyun’s been trying so hard and I’ve been giving him a chance; I don’t want it to seem that I’ve been playing with him.”

“But you haven’t.” Kai told her, “You & Jonghyun aren’t in a relationship. There are no strings attached, so neither of you are obliged to just remain with each other.”

“And what am I supposed to do about Sulli?” Krystal asked him.

Kai sighed, “Well, that’s something you can’t really do anything about. Everyone knows Minho & Sulli have held one of the most solid relationships to date; so I don’t know if it’ll be that easy to break them up.”

Krystal looked down, all her hopes and dreams just crushed with one sentence.

“But do you want me to be honest with you?” Kai asked.

She looked up at him, “Of course, that’s all I ever want.”

Kai smiled at her, “At my party, when you were drunk, I went over to Minho to test something out. I pretended to be drunk as well. As you know, I can drink a lot and may seem pretty drunk, but my brain still is fine.”

Krystal narrowed her eyes, “What does that have to do with anything?”

“Just let me finish.” Kai chuckled, “I went up to Minho and told him you were with another guy.”

She listened, waiting for him to finish his story.

“I’ve never seen someone so worried, scared, jealous, mad; all at the same time.” Kai said.

Krystal sat there, not wanting to get her hopes up; but it was impossible when Kai was telling her that.

Kai smiled again, “I know this sounds messed up, but just because someone has a girlfriend or boyfriend doesn’t mean that they can’t fall for someone else. I think it’s a clear fact that Minho is attracted to you too, Krystal.”

Minho bench pressed another set; grunting after each one.

Ha Neul spotted him from behind, “Is there a reason you wanted to work out at like 11 fcking pm?”

“Nothing.” Minho lied.

Everyone knew he only lifted at night when he had something on his mind.

Minho sighed, sitting up.

Why did Krystal seem like she was about to cry? Is she okay?

Ha Neul waved his hands in front of his face, tossing a towel in front of him, “Yah, what are you thinking about?”

Minho let out another deep breath, “How long have you been dating Ji Won?”

Ha Neul looked up, “Almost three years. We were dating before To the Beautiful You was even announced; but it was still a secret back then because of you.”

Minho chuckled, he still couldn’t believe he had to pretend to date Ji Won because of a commercial shoot.

“Why?” Ha Neul sat on another bench in front of him, wiping the sweat coming down his face.

“While with her, have you ever been, attracted to another girl?” Minho asked him.

Ha Neul looked him straight in the eye, “I’m a man Minho. Of course I think other girls are pretty as well; if that’s what you mean.”

Minho shook his head, “No, I mean; have you ever thought that you started to like another girl?”

“Now that,” Ha Neul said, “Never.”

“Never?” Minho repeated.

Ha Neul nodded his head, “Three years ago, I made a promise to Ji Won that she would be the only girl I love while we’re still together. Pretty girls come and go Minho. But when you find the one, you know it. It can’t be compared to anything else. And I’ve found the one in Ji Won; she’s become my everything.”

Minho looked to the side, not saying a word.

“Let me guess, this is about Soojung isn’t it?” Ha Neul raised his eyebrows; already knowing.

Minho bit his bottom lip, covering his face with a towel, “I don’t get it bro. I could’ve sworn like yesterday, Sulli is the one for me. But whenever I see Krystal, I can’t even put into words how to describe it.”

Ha Neul nodded his head, “Go on bro, let all that sappy sht out.”

Minho chuckled again, “I don’t know man. Like what you said in the bathroom the other day, Krystal & I have barely spoken to each other. I think that’s what makes her so intriguing to me. She always looks so happy; so full of life. But I feel like she’s hiding something; maybe even hiding from someone. And all I want to do is take care of her and make sure she’s okay.”

“You know Minho,” Ha Neul said, “If you’re already feeling that strongly about someone who’s not Sulli, you need to end it with Sulli. Or let her know; she at least deserves that much.”

“But I can’t just hurt Sulli like that.” Minho ran his hands through his hair, “Her & I have been through so much, that I can’t really imagine my life without her. She’s already feeling insecure about Krystal, and I can’t just tell her that everything she feels about her is true.”

Ha Neul sighed, “You’re in a tough situation, but if you just keep listening to what your heart is saying; it’ll eventually lead you to the right track.”

---

Jonghyun turned his head, his face lighting up once he saw the rest of the EXO guys come walking into the studio.

Jin Hyuk sighed, “Someone tell me who let all these pabos into my studio.” He joked.

Kai waved his arms up in the air, “We heard you guys weren’t filming today, just reading comments. We didn’t have any schedules, so we chose to come visit our favorite SM artists on set.”

“What a bunch of charmers.” Ji Won squeezed Xiumin’s cheeks, “Aigo, so cute.”

“Aish.” Ha Neul pulled Ji Won away, snarling at him, “Stay away.”

Xiumin laughed, “Don’t you worry man.”

Minho walked over to Lay, looking around, “Is Kris not with you guys?”

Lay shook his head, “He stayed home sick, why?”

Tao leaned his head over, “Why are you so worried about Kris being here?”

“It’s nothing.” Minho coughed, walking back over by Sulli.

---

“Alright everyone, take a seat. It’s time to go over the reviews and comments.” Jin Hyuk quieted everyone down, taking a seat beside Krystal & Jonghyun.

“Kim Ji Won & Kang Ha Neul’s chemistry is the best thing about this drama. You can tell that he really does love her; in the show, and in real life as well. I’m mainly just watching it for those two.”

“Minho oppa is so handsome, is this even legal?”

Minho chuckled, always finding comments like those ridiculously cheesy but adorable.

“Sulli is the only one lacking in this show. Other than that, everyone has been doing so well.”

Sulli clenched her fists, wanting to just walk out of the room right at that moment.

“How come I’m the only one who ever gets hate? What is this?”

Minho rubbed her back, “I’m sure we all get hate, don’t worry.”

Luhan bit his lip, narrowing his eyes, “There’s a comment about Krystal..”

Krystal looked up at the screen, her eyes widening at the vulgar language being used against her.

“I can’t fcking stand Jessica’s little sister. Her writing is good, obviously, but how can she just steal someone’s boyfriend?”

A picture of her & Minho was linked underneath, “I’m a die-hard Minsul shipper and I will go to the ends of the Earth to see that Krystal girl rot in pieces. I wish you hell.”

Jonghyun wrapped his arms around Krystal; who was definitely the most shocked person in the room.

“Sasaeng fans are crazy; don’t think too much of it.” He advised her.

Krystal rested her head on his chest, “I, I didn’t even do anything.”

Minho ran his hands through his hair, so frustrated with whoever wrote that comment, “What the hell is wrong with people?”

Sulli smiled in satisfaction, “Goes to show maybe you really shouldn’t be messing with other females' men.” She mumbled quiet enough for Minho not to hear.

“Yah Choi Jinri.” Sehun spat at her, “I heard that.”

Sulli rolled her eyes, “Whatever Sehun.”

“Guys, be quiet.” Jin Hyuk waved his arms up in the air, “Krystal, I guarantee that bottom comment will make you feel better.”

Krystal looked up at the screen again, this time, smiling.

“Comments like the one above mine are the reason I hate being a part of the Minsul fandom. Most of the people here are rude, close-minded hypocrites. Just because Minho & Krystal have one picture together doesn’t mean that she’s trying to lure him away. Sulli has pictures with just about every guy in the industry, but how come people don’t make a big deal about that? Minho’s a nice guy, I’ve met him at various meet and greets and I’m more than proud to be his fan. Soojung is also new to the industry, so I wish people would treat her better than the btch above me. Jung Soojung, hwaiting!”

Krystal took another deep breath, “There really are so many different people in this world.”

Chanyeol nodded his head, “You can have a dating scandal with me any day.”

He winked, causing the room to erupt in laughter.

EXO’s manager face palmed himself in embarrassment, “Yah Park Chanyeol.”

Chanyeol chuckled, “What? I’m serious.”

Jonghyun tossed a pillow at his face, “There isn’t any room for blockers.”

“Awuh.” Chanyeol pouted.

The rest of the room gushed in their feelings, loving how Jonghyun was always there to defend Krystal no matter what.

Ha Neul took a glance at Minho, who just stared down into his lap.

It was obvious he was jealous; but he couldn’t do anything but just accept the fact that Jonghyun had beat him to it.

“Okay, okay; enough lovey-dovey moments.” Jin Hyuk cut them all of, “We have a cast dinner tonight at 7 and I expect all of you to be there.”

Sulli looked over at her manager, who shook his head, “I’m sorry, but we have a guesting to attend to tonight. Sulli has missed too many of F(x)’s promotions that fans are beginning to get worried.”

Jin Hyuk sighed, waving her off, “Okay, but the rest of you must be there.”

He turned to Krystal, “And that includes you.”

Krystal smiled, “Of course.”

Jonghyun pouted, “Too bad I’m not part of the cast.”

Jin Hyuk chuckled, “You know I’d let you come too, but we’re discussing private matters of the show. Next time Kim Jonghyun.”

Jonghyun nodded his head, “Of course hyung.”

Sulli grabbed Minho’s face and turned it to her, “If another scandal with you and Krystal arises, I don’t know what the hell I could do to that girl.”

“Sulli, just calm down.” Minho said, “You overreact to the smallest things and it’s getting annoying.”

Baekhyun & Chen listened to them, exchanging awkward glances because Minho never spoke back to anyone like that; especially Sulli.

“Excuse me?” Sulli stood up, “Since when did you talk to me like that?”

Minho shook his head, “I’m sorry.”

Sulli shook her head back, “No, I’m sorry I’m leaving right now.”

She grabbed her bag, walking out with her manager.

Everyone in the room looked at each other in confusion.

That was Minho & Sulli’s first public fight known to date.

Ahh!

To be honest with you all, this is one of my favorite chapters I've put up so far. 

It really showcases how close Minho & Ha Neul are and what an amazing guy Ha Neul really is.

He's faithful and so in love.

That's something I really wanted to show in this story mainly.

Life isn't just about finding love; but finding friendships that help guide you along the way.

Why do you think Krystal looked like she was about to tear up?

Is Minsul on the verge of finally breaking up?

Will Minho & Krystal ever confess to each other?

Find out in the upcoming chapters!

I LOVE YOU ALL <3

*Author's Note*

Some of you guys may be quite upset with me over the fact that I used Kris as the guy Krystal almost hooked up with. For those of you who don't know, I'm an EXO Stan and Kris himself actually is my bias. Kris in my story is solely just a fictional character and doesn't have anything to do with his actual personally. I know Kris has been through a lot and I prayed for months for him to stay. But, I've learned to move on and realize that everything happens for a reason. He's off in the world doing bigger and better things SM was restricting him from doing. I wish him the best of luck and I don't want his character that was portrayed here to affect your guys' opinion on him.

As for the whole Sulli thing; some of you may know, I'm not a huge fan of Sulli. Although I do not hate her. I think she's very pretty but a little bit overrated. The irony of this chapter is the fact that it's mentioned that Sulli has missed promotions for the F(x) comeback. And as most of you guys know, Sulli is taking a hiatus & F(x)'s comeback has been cut short. I wanted to let you guys know that I wrote this chapter about a month or more ahead of all this Sulli & F(x) controversy. Actually, I wrote this before F(x) even came back. Everything seemed to just match up in timing for some reason.

Everything I write in this story is purely fiction; although some of it is based off of real life kpop scenarios, just not the exact same thing.

I hope you all understand and don't misinterpret what I write about.

Thank you.
