"I was so damn close to just grabbing her and kissing her it was driving me insane.."

Minho had his arms crossed over his chest and his back bent while sitting in the restaurant chair.

Ha Neul nudged his arm, "You doing okay bro?"

He simply shook his head no.

After the fight with Sulli, they've been texting each other non-stop talking about everything the other one did wrong.

Although Minho took the initiative and said that he was wrong on his parts; they kept arguing, and things only seemed to get worse.

Ji Won pouted her lips, she hated seeing people upset.

Right when she was about to say something, Krystal came by and stood by the table.

"There's an open seat." Ji Won smiled at her, telling her to sit down.

"Thank you." Krystal nodded her head, sitting by the only open seat left at the table; right next to Minho.

Krystal looked at Minho for a quick second; seeing how upset he was really broke her heart.

"Hey, eat." Ha Neul pushed a plate of food towards Krystal, who just smiled back in appreciation.

"Now that everyone's here, why don't we get down to business." Jin Hyuk clasped his hands together, "This drama has been doing wonders for mine, and I'm sure all of your guys' careers."

Minho stared at the ground, listening, but he definitely wasn't in the mood to be dealing with anyone.

"I don't know if you guys knew or not, but I've been going to meetings with the MBC coordinator; the one who's in charge of timeslots for shows and stuff." Jin Hyuk sighed, and smiled, "We've garnered the number one spot on all stations and most viewed pilot episode in five years."

"Wow!" Ji Won clapped, completely amazed, "That's-that's great!"

Minho nodded his head, staring at the plate of food in front of him.

Ha Neul looked at Krystal, "It's all thanks to this brilliant girl right here."

Krystal covered her face, blushing, "Oh no, all of you guys have done so well portraying the story just like I wanted; if not better."

Jin Hyuk waited until the claps were over before he spoke again; "But as we were talking, an idea rose upon us all."

Minho finally looked up, becoming curious.

"Due to popular demand, the MBC coordinators want Krystal to be added into the show; and not just a cameo." Jin Hyuk looked at Krystal, who started to feel uncomfortable.

Minho's mouth slightly opened, turning to face Krystal; who he didn't realize was sitting so close to him.

"Ex-excuse me?" Krystal let out a nervous laugh, "

Jin Hyuk gave her a slight smile, "I understand that this doesn't go with the flow of your story; but think about it, do movies and dramas that come from books or anime's really follow the story?" He paused, "No."

"I mean, yeah, but-" Krystal began, only to get cut off again.

"Just let me finish," Jin Hyuk bit his bottom lip, looking at Minho, "I'm sorry to say, but even the coordinators are noticing the change of acting between you and Sulli. I don't know what's going on between you two, but I suggest you two talk it out and fix it soon."

Minho nodded his head glumly, "Continue on."

Jin Hyuk nodded his head, "As I was saying, the coordinators are noticing things like that; and unfortunately, it's things like those that could ultimately ruin our show. After releasing the behind the scenes footage between Minho & Krystal over here, comments have been shooting up saying that they would rather have the ending be Krystal & Minho, rather than Sulli & Minho."

Krystal's mouth dropped, never expecting something like that to be happening.

"But," Minho looked at Krystal, "There isn't even anything going on between her & I." Or is there?

She nodded her head, "We rarely even speak to be honest."

"But none of that matters." Jin Hyuk told them, "Chemistry is something that comes naturally. For example, when you look at Ha Neul & Ji Won over here; it's a clear fact that they're in love. I felt that way with you & Sulli when I watched To the Beautiful You; but now it's gone."

Ji Won blushed, feeling a little second hand embarrassment for Minho.

Minho understood his point of view, "Sulli and I have been fighting; but I'm doing my best to fix things."

"Good," Jin Hyuk said, "Because we're counting on you guys. As for the Krystal suggestion, at least think about it."

"Can I put my opinion into this?" Krystal asked.

Jin Hyuk nodded his head, watching all of them begin to focus their attention on Krystal.

She had that power; when she spoke, everyone listened.

"I understand that maybe the chemistry between Minho & Sulli is lacking; but I'm not just going to go and change the whole ending over that. I'm sorry, but I wrote this story for them; not for Minho & I." Krystal bit her lip, "And I find it a bit unfair that we're talking about this while Sulli isn't around."

Jin Hyuk sat back in his seat, nodding his head, "You have a point there Miss Jung. I'll talk with the management again and see what their intake is on it. Since we've discussed that, I just want to let you all know that there will be a presscon next weekened; so clear your schedules."

He stood up, "I'll be leaving now, but the rest of you, enjoy the dinner."

They all bowed before he left; leaving an awkward atmosphere.

Ha Neul had one arm on Ji Won's chair; he pointed at Krystal, "Frankly, I kind of like that idea Jin Hyuk hyung put out."

Minho's eyes widened, his heart began racing. "I'm going to use the restroom."

Krystal watched him walk away, "Honestly speaking, I don't feel it's right. It's so unfair to Sulli to cut her out at the end when she was the lead throughout the whole drama."

Ji Won gave her an assuring smile, "I feel that you think that you're to blame; when you really aren't. If fans are getting upset over whatever is going on between Minho & Sulli, that's their problem to deal with. But, I will support you on whatever decision you pull through with."

"I really appreciate that." Krystal smiled again, holding her stomach which has been begging to use the bathroom forever now; "I'm going to use the restroom real quick."

Ji Won turned to Ha Neul, "If I was cupid, I would leave right now so that Minho & Krystal would be alone when they get back."

"Funny you say that." Ha Neul chuckled, looking around so no one would hear, "Minho pretty much confessed to me that he liked Krystal."

"Really?" Ji Won's eyes widened in joy, "That's great!"

Ha Neul shrugged, "It would be great if Minho was single and Jonghyun wasn't dating Krystal."

Ji Won pouted, "I really believe that Minho is good for Krystal, and vice versa. They compliment each other quite well and make such a great visual couple."

"More than us?" Ha Neul pouted.

She touched his face, kissing his cheek, "Of course not, love."

Ha Neul loved when she called him cute little pet names like that; as cheesy as it was, everything about her just made her fall in love over and over again.

---

Minho took extra minutes in the bathroom, just trying to make himself look like he was in a better mood.

But mostly just to think.

Why was Krystal defending Sulli and he wasn't?

Why didn't he take the initiative to try and save his girlfriend's career?

Because everything has changed.

He was falling for Krystal in every aspect and he couldn't even deny it anymore.

It was simply making him go crazy.

I can't let my relationship with Sulli go on while I'm feeling like this for another-

His train of thoughts got messed up when he bumped into a female figure stepping out of the bathroom.

"Minho?" Krystal chuckled nervously, "Sorry."

This is fate trying to tug at my heart right now. Minho smiled down at her, "It's fine, you okay?"

She smiled back at him, "I'm fine. I just want you to know that I'm not doing anything to sabotage your relationship with Sulli and I won't take the role in the drama Jin Hyuk is trying to give me."

Minho sighed, "It's not your fault, I know. What can we do about what the fans say though? I mean, we have no control over that."

Krystal nodded her head, "Thanks for understanding. Let's head back now; before Ha Neul & Ji Won start to worry."

"Yeah, su-" Minho began, but something stopped him, "Actually, can we stay here for a little bit?"

Krystal narrowed her eyes, "Stay where? In that private room?"

Minho slowly nodded his head, "I just wanna sit and talk without other people around me. If that's okay with you anyways."

My heart never fails to beat so hard whenever Minho looks at me like that. Krystal thought, she gave him a slight nod; following him inside the room.

The room was just one table with candles and lights surrounding them.

The only reason Minho was let inside, was because he was a celebrity; there was no way Krystal could just walk in there.

If anyone were have to walk in, they'd think they were on a date.

Minho sighed again, "So, why don't you tell me about yourself? I've known you for weeks now, but I feel I don't really know you."

That was the problem. He barely knew her; but he believed he did.

Minho was falling for her day after day without even knowing why; and that's what intrigued him so much.

Krystal moved around in her seat, clearing , "Well, I'm simple. Total opposite of my sister; if you haven't noticed yet. I like to be more relaxed and laid back and I'm more of the tomboyish one. I totally love sports and being with my family is what makes me happiest."

She paused, looking at him, "How about you? What are some things about Choi Minho a fan like me wouldn't know?"

Minho chuckled, loving that she could make him smile over small comments like that.

"I'm not the player everyone sees me to be. I'm faithful to girls I'm with," Until you came along and are messing with the feelings in my head. "Uhm, I love sports as well." Minho scratched his chin, "And I actually have more followers on Twitter than Onew hyung."

Krystal covered while she laughed, "Now that's definitely something to be proud of."

Minho smiled at her, "Why do you do that?"

She stopped laughing, resting her hand on the table, "Do what?"

"This," he mimicked her covering while laughing, "You cover your mouth while you laugh."

Krystal blushed, "It's a habit, I don't usually like when people watch me laugh."

Minho lost his filter, "You look prettier when you laugh."

She looked up into his eyes; he was just as surprised as she was.

Krystal bit her lip, smiling shyly, "Th-thanks."

Minho, you fcked up. Minho panicked, "I'm sure that's why Jonghyun likes you."

Krystal, get over yourself. See, he doesn't like you. He just wants to know why Jonghyun likes you. She giggled, "I hope he doesn't like me just because of that."

There are endless qualities to like about you.. Minho then knew it was time to get out.

If they were in that room any longer, Minho would end up confessing; ruining too many things in his life.

"We should probably start heading back to them eh?" Minho stood up, allowing her to walk in front of him.

---

Ji Won looked at the time, then up at the two finally making their way back.

"That was an awfully long bathroom trip." Ha Neul raised his eyebrows, smirking at Minho.

Minho coughed, "Upset stomach."

Krystal nodded her head, "Me too."

Ha Neul & Ji Won exchanged suspicious glances; knowing they were both lying.

---

The next day was a free day; no work, no anything.

Krystal decided to call Myungsoo and see if he was free for plans; and thankfully, he was.

Krystal jumped on Myungsoo's couch, "I really don't want to fall for him Myungsoo; everything is so wrong."

"If you're still thinking about what happened between Minho & I, forget it. You already know your happiness means more to me than my ego." Myungsoo chuckled, sitting next to her.

She turned to face him, scrunching her face, "You know, you still never really told me what happened between you & Minho."

"It's a long story." He answered.

"I've got time," Krystal laid her head on the couch, "talk to me."

Myungsoo sighed, knowing that she'd eventually find out sooner or later.

"This started when Shut Up Flower Boy Band came into works. Minho was supposed to be in it; not me." He began.

She raised her eyebrows, "Really?"

He nodded his head, "Now don't talk until I'm done." Myungsoo chuckled, "The story was written for Minho to play Hyun Soo; but this was during the time SHINee kind of disappeared because of all their tours as stuff. It was also the time we won our first music award. The directors felt that the show would be more of a hit if I star in it, rather than someone who they called to be an "Expired Idol". But it wasn't just once, he was supposed to be Secretary Gil in Cunning Single Lady as well."

Myungsoo paused, "But our worst encounter was when we both found out that we have the same father."

Krystal was in the middle of drinking her mango juice; but after hearing that, she nearly spit it all out over Myungsoo's face.

"Bwoh?!"

He handed her a napkin, nodding his head. "His, or shall I say, our dad was cheating on Minho's mom first; and my mom is the mistress. His mom got pregnant first, and I came a couple months later. I didn't find this out until my 17th birthday; just a little bit before debut. Minho has known for a while, but he was just beginning to comprehend everything. It doesn't help that he hasn't seen his parents since before debut and I get to see my mom every weekend. I mean, I can't really blame him for being mad at me; I totally see where he's coming from."

Krystal couldn't believe the words she was hearing. She expected it to be a stupid problem like a girl; but this time, it was serious.

---

"Hey, what'd you need to talk about? It seemed pretty urgent." Amber rushed over to the SHINee dorm, wondering why Minho was so anxious to talk to her.

Key popped in the room, sighing, "If I'm right, it's about Krystal."

Amber sat down on a chair, "Krystal, the one who's co-directing right?"

Minho nodded his head, "I really need to end things with Sulli before I hurt her even more."

"Ooh, about Sulli, how are you guys? She came to the dorm crying last night because of a fight you guys had?" Amber couldn't help but feel upset even though her and Sulli have been in a fight for awhile; she was still a friend to her.

Minho nodded his head, "I tried apologizing, but you know how stubborn that girl is."

Key pursed his lips, sitting by them; "Now cut to the chase, what do you need to tell us?"

"Last night, I was talking to Krystal." Minho began, "I was so damn close to just grabbing her and kissing her it was driving me insane."

Amber covered , "Omo."

Key shook his head, laughing, "Did I not call this coming?"

"Man shut up." Minho hit his arm, "I need serious help because there are so many things wrong with my feelings right now. Jonghyun likes her and he actually gets to have her, I'm currently dating Sulli, her ex-boyfriend is Myungsoo. Like God dang, so many road blocks."

Amber rubbed his arm, "This is probably just another crush."

Key shook his head, pointing at Amber, "There's no way this is just another crush. Ever since the day he met Krystal, he looks at her all the time and talks about her non-stop when Jonghyun isn't around. At least he's starting to realize that it's becoming more than a crush."

Minho covered his face, "Things only get harder though. I can't risk losing someone I've cherished so many memories with; along with falling in love. Sulli may be a pain; but she's always meant so much to me and I know it's going to break her even more when she finds out I'm like this because of another girl. Especially Krystal."

"You guys are already almost halfway through your drama. After it's over, you no longer have a reason to see Krystal." Key told him, "If I were you, I would talk to Soo Man and see if he's even going to let you break up with Sulli. But I'm sorry to say, I highly doubt it. He's going to find out about Krystal and make a controversial thing; but in the end, he'll make you stay with Sulli so it looks like nothing can beat your guys' love."

Amber nodded her head, "Key's right. Soo Man's got some dirty tricks up his sleeve; I would be careful if I were you."

Minho ran his hands through his hair again; his mind was filled with so many thoughts, so many problems.

---

Minho knocked the F(x) dorm; hoping to finally talk to Sulli in person for the first time after their fight.

Sulli walked to the door, opening it up with a glum expression; "Minho."

"Can we talk?" Minho asked her.

"Can we talk is just a nicer way to put "Can we break up?"" Sulli spat at him, "Why don't you just tell me you're ending things between us because of Krystal."

"Sulli," Minho grabbed Sulli's wrist and pushed her back into their dorm and locked the door.

Thankfully, the rest of her members weren't there.

Sulli pushed him away, crossing her arms over her chest, "I'm not a fcking idiot Minho. Ever since that Krystal btch came into your life, you've changed, and I hate it."

Minho shook his head, "I haven't changed at all."

She raised her eyebrows, shaking her head back, "That's a good one Minho."

"Whatever," Minho began, "But if you really aren't an idiot, you should know the love that we once had between us has completely gone away."

Sulli's mouth slightly opened, There's no way I'm letting someone like her ruin my relationship., "I still love you Minho."

Minho couldn't help but feel bad after hearing her say that; but he couldn't lie to himself any longer.

"I-I'm really sorry Sulli." Minho reached for her arm, but she pulled away before he could even get to her.

Tears started to come out of each of her eyes; "You're just going to throw away what we had for each other?!"

"I'm not throwing it away!" Minho yelled back, "I can't let myself put you through more lies and pain; you don't deserve it Sulli. You deserve better."

Sulli walked towards him, "But I only want you."

Minho shook his head, taking a step backwards, "I can't do this anymore."

Two can play this game. Sulli wiped her face, rolling her eyes, "I really hope you know that only Soo Man is allowed to break us up."

He nodded his head, "I know, which is why you and I are going to his office right now."

"But, wh-" Sulli tried to argue, but Minho grabbed her wrist again and they stormed off to Lee Soo Man's office.

GO MINHO GO!

He finally took the initiative to try and end things with Sulli.

You all also found out why Minho & Myungsoo are in a fight with each other.

Did any of you guys expect that being half brothers would be the problem between Minho & Myungsoo?

How will Minsul's talk with Soo Man go?

When will Minho confess to Krystal?

Do you think adding Krystal to the drama would be a good idea?
