"You are coming in with me now!" Yi-mu the lioness of the neighbourhood dragged a stumbling Seunghoon towards the entrance of our house. Dread filled my every being and I was horrendously immobilised with shock and panic. I wasn't sure if I was even breathing. 

Jini smirked and folded her arms. "Onni, think you better start sprinting to your room now," my frozen state crackled under her purposeful whisper and I sprung into action.

. . !

That was all I could think of. 

Dashing up the stairs, two steps at a time, I prayed fervently that what I feared the most wouldn't come true. I stooped down and rested on my knees, not knowing if the exertion was due to fear, stress or plain adrenaline. Taking one last mighty breath in, I looked up and just managed to catch a glimpse of my Yimu shoving Seunghoon into my bedroom and him stumbling into the room with a loud thud. 

My life is officially over. Gone. Forever. 

I turned around and got ready to run to wherever my skinny legs would take me when a pair of extremely strong arms lifted me and literally threw me inside the same four walls that now contained a smiling baby lion. (No points for guessing who those Amazonian arms belong to). And I never knew that the sound of impending doom equates to that of a clicked door knob. A deadly locked door knob. I could almost, just almost hear the sniggers of my soon-to-be-dead cousin and my almighty lioness of an aunt. 

The sight before me was confounding. There were multiple images of Lee Seunghoon in various poses and a human lump on the floor that to no one's surprise, resembles that of all the images plastered on my god-damn wall. Perhaps if I keep really still and quiet, he wouldn't notice me and Yimu will soon relent and let me out.

Not a chance.

"Violence runs in your family I suppose..." Seughoon smiled ruefully at me while I maintained my strategy of praying that he would ignore me if I keep really still. Where is that Invisibility Cloak when I need it? 

Seunghoon stood up and look a long hard look around my room. I buried my face in my hands, hoping that that would make me disappear to the far corners of the earth, preferably somewhere really far, like Timbuktu. After what seemed like an eternity, I turned my head up slowly and peeked through the cracks in between my fingers. Hmm... nothing, maybe my strategy worked!

Not a chance.

"Half of me wanna tease you to death about the pictures on the wall. The other half just wanna hug and cuddle with you on the bed. Which half would you like to have?" I spotted that baby lion on my bed and flushed red with ... I don't know what!

"Get off my bed!"

"So you want me to to tease you about the pictures on the wall?"

"Don't! Just go. Just disappear. Just go. Pretend you've never been here. That's all I will ever ask from you. I will be gone tomorrow morning. Our lives will be back to normal. You gone on to debut as WINNER and I will earn my keep in yen. Win-win situation." if only I could laugh at my lame attempt at a pun. 

"You really wanna leave and forget about me and for me to forget about you?" I nodded fervently at his question and bit my lIps as Seunghoon stared intently at me.

'You mean it? You're fine just with a few pictures on the wall? How can you just leave after making a mess out of me?' Seunghoon asked, almost pleading, with a strain in his tone. 

I couldn't understand what he was trying to say. Who's making a mess out of whom? 

'Would you be able to forget me after this?'

Still with my eyes shut tightly, I felt Seunghoon's arms encircling me and his moist lips which smelled of cherry on my chaffed ones. I tried,  I really tried to resist him, to push him away but he just held me tighter. I stood there as still as a statue but my heart was drumming rapidly.  

Finally Seunghoon broke the kiss and placed his head on top of mine. 

'You still  want me to forget about you and you to forget about me?'

My heart broke at his question because my head was screaming the answer. 

'Yes.'

Seunghoon took a step back with his hands on my shoulder. 

'Then I will forget about you.'
