I Promise

"You Know Nothing About Love"

Hyemi saw Hyunseong looking at Minwoo and Youngmin who were headed towards her. "This is it, Hyemi..." She mumbled under her breath. "Who are you going to choose?" She closed her eyes and let fate run its course. Before she closed her eyes, the last person she saw was Minwoo. Their moments togeter quickly replayed in her mind; starting from the first time they met in 8th grade to the day she broke her arm to the moment everything fell apart and finally to the kiss they shared earlier that day. "Minwoo!" She practically screamed over the music.

"Did you just say Minwoo?" Eunhae asked Hyemi.

"You should ask Minwoo to dance with you." Hyemi couldn't believe what she just said. "He's coming over. Go dance with him." She pushed Eunhae towards Minwoo.

"Hi, Minwoo," Eunhae walked up to him. He stopped infront of her but kept looking at Hyemi.

"I win," Youngmin whispered in Minwoo's ear before he reached Hyemi. "Do you want to dance, Mimi-ah?"

----- Minwoo's POV -----

"Damnit, Eunhae!" I screamed at Eunhae.

She started tearing up. She ran to a table and started sobbing. I sighed, I have to do the right thing, don't I? I walked over to her and patted her back.

"I'm sorry."

"Go away!" She screamed.

"I'm sorry I hurt your feelings."

"Go away!" She yelled in my face.

"No."

"You're a jerk! Don't you know what it's like to like someone a lot and not be able to do anything about it because they love someone else?" She sobbed.

"You think I don't know what it's like?"

"No, you don't know. If you knew, I wouldn't be crying right now."

I tilted my head, confused about what she was talking about.

"I like you, Minwoo!" She screamed. "I've liked you for a long time! But I can't do anything about it because you've been focusing too much on stealing Hyunseong's girlfriend!"

I her hair. "I'm sorry, Eunhae. You're just a friend to me."

She sighed. "I know. I just wanted to get it off of my chest."

"You're a great person, Eunhae. You know that, right? You'll find someone much better than me."

She smiled at me. "Go to Hyemi."

"No, not when you're crying."

"Go to Hyemi."

I shook my head. I want to be a good guy again, I thought. "Let's dance this one song." Please wait for me, Mimi-ah. I'm going to try my best to be a good guy and only do good deeds. I'm just going to make it up to Eunhae real quick. You can wait for just five minutes, right? Then we can be together forever...

----- Youngmin's POV -----

"Do you want to dance, Mimi-ah?" I jogged up to Hyemi. I mentally stuck my tongue at Minwoo.

"No." Hyemi turned and walked away.

"Are you ok?" I followed her to our table.

She sat down and shook her head. "Who do you like better? Hyunseong or Minwoo?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Just answer the question."

I thought for a second. "Minwoo."

She nodded. "I hope I made the right decision."

I realized what she was talking about. "Were you trying to decision on who you wanted to be with?"

She smiled.

"Don't you even think about me? Do I mean nothing to you? Don't you care about me? Am I wasting my time trying to fix things with you?" I placed her face in my hands. "Mimi-ah! I love you! I love you! I love you! Tell me you love me, too!"

She smirked. "You're so stupid, Youngmin." I dropped my hands. What did you say to me?, I thought in my head. Mimi-ah, when did you become so straightforward? You used to be innocent... Did I really hurt you that much? "Don't I even think about you? No, I never think about you. Do I mean nothing to you? Yes, you are nothing. Don't I care about you? Not one bit. Are you wasting your time trying to fix things with you?" She glared into my eyes. "Yes, you are. So just leave me alone! Don't fix things! Leave them as they are! Go away, you cheating bastard!"

Sumin walked up to me, oblivious to the entire scene. "Do you want to dance, Youngminnie?"

I kept staring at Hyemi. Her hair was messy and her eyes were red. Despite what she just yelled at me, she smiled and gave me two thumbs up. "Have fun, you two." Sumin dragged me onto the dance floor.

----- Hyunseong's POV -----

I watched as Sumin and Youngmin walked onto the dance floor. I looked around and found Minwoo dancing with Eunhae. Stupid Freshmen boys, I thought. How could they leave Hyemi alone? Where is she? After looking around again, I finally found Hyemi balled up in her chair with her eyes closed. She doesn't do that unless she's extremely sad, I noted. I walked up to her. "Do you want to dance?"

"No." Hyemi kept her eyes closed.

"Yes, you do." I grabbed her arms and dragged her onto the dance floor. Once I walked in between two couples who were slow dancing, I simply stood facing Hyemi, waiting for her reaction.

"Aren't we going to dance?" Hyemi looked up at me.

"You tell me," I smirked.

She laughed when she realized that I tricked her. She wrapped her arms around my neck.

"Did you think it over?" She nodded. "Do you know who you want, now?" She nodded again.

"Thank you." She said.

"For what?"

"For always being there for me."

"That's what friends are for, right?"

"Friends? We're just friends?"

"Are we?" I smirked, closed my eyes and waited for her answer.

She giggled.

----- Youngmin's POV -----

"Hyemi-ah..." I whispered as I watched Hyemi tippy toe to kiss Hyunseong.

"Youngminnie. I still have feelings for you." Sumin blushed. I was too deep in thought to process what she just said.

"You're so ugly! Are you even a girl?! You're manlier than me! You piece of dirt!"... "I like Hyemi." I told Kwangmin. "Don't tell me, tell her yourself." "Nah, this is more fun."... "Youngmin. Do you like me?" I kept quiet and observed the 8th grade Hyemi infront of me. "No. Who told you that?" I lied. "You told everyone that you did. I guess I was wrong." She turned around. "Hyemi, tell me what I want to hear." I smirked. She looked at me, "Youngmin... I-I like you. Will you go out with me?" I smiled and hugged her. She's the girl that every guy wants, I thought to myself. Now she's all mine... I patted my lap. Hyemi blushed and laid down on them. I started to play with her hair. It was our first date and we were having a picnic. She was wearing a beautiful floral dress. She fell asleep so I took out my phone and took a picture of her beautiful face. "Mimi-ah, I love you. So much."... "Youngminnie! Kiss me!" Sumin puckered up her lips. I shrugged and did as I was told. "Y-y-youngmin..." I looked up and saw Hyemi tearing up. "Hyemi..." She ran down the hallway. "Uh-oh, you got caught by your girlfriend," Sumin giggled. "What are you going to do now?" I my lips, "Girlfriend? What girlfriend?"... 'I don't want to be with you anymore, Youngmin'... "She's never going to take you back." "You never know," I was getting cocky. "Girls change their mind all the time. I just need to be nice to her and I'll her in the palm of my hand."... "Aish. I'm soaked..." Hyemi squeezed water from her hair. "I even forgot to bring extra clothes..." "You can borrow my extra shirt," I winked at her. "Then what are you going to wear?" "Nothing. Don't you want to see what's under here?" I rubbed my abs playfully.... "Minwoo!" I yelled from Hyemi's front yard. They were about to kiss and I was getting jealous. They hit their mouths together. I started to laugh hysterically... "I always seem to hurt you."... "It's always Minwoo Minwoo Minwoo." I pouted... "Someone who's just waiting for a chance to be with you; to hold you tight and never let you go." I pulled her closer to me. "And who's that someone?" She looked up at me with puffy eyes. I looked into her eyes. "Me."... "Minwoo! Get over here! A car's pulling into the driveway!" I whispered to Minwoo. He joined me behind the small trashcan. "Get your own trash can to hide behind!" I shoved him.... I slumped in my chair. "Even after everything they've been through, she still has feelings for him. Minwoo keeps getting everything I want."... "What am I to you? The Sun, the Moon, or just another star waiting to be noticed by an amazing girl like you?"

Those memories... They're hardly good ones. Mimi-ah, what kind of guy am I in your heart? Am I a bad guy? I'm sorry for everything I've done. I can never make up for the bad things I've done in the past, can I? If I could turn back the time, I swear I would've treated you better. I didn't realize how perfect and so deserving to be loved you were when we were little. Everytime I think of it, I want to slap my self for always taking advantage of you. I want to say that I will wait for you, but I just can't. I know I won't. I'm a bad guy, I admit it. I don't know how to love correctly; I only learned bad things (B1A4 woohoo!). But after this, with the next girl I get the chance with, I want to learn from my mistakes. I want to live a better life. Thank you for being my girlfriend in the little time we spent together. You mean a lot to me. And because you mean a lot to me, I will back off so you can live better (G.NA woohoo!). Now I know the answer to my own question; I'm merely just another star trying to shine my light to you. But I'm not just any star - I'm the North star. Whenever you lose your way, never forget that I'm always here shining the brightest. I will light the path for you and set the world straight again so that you can always be happy. Mimi-ah, please be happy. You have to promise you will be happy, no matter what happens. No matter who hurts you. You deserve to live a great life full of great people. Because your heart is pure. Please stay like that forever... I love you. You mean the world to me.

----- Minwoo's POV -----

Mimi-ah... I thought to myself as I saw Hyemi kiss Hyunseong. I was expecting you to wait for me...

"Thank you for the dance, Minwoo." Eunhae smiled as I walked back to my table and sat down by myself.

Mimi-ah... We're meant to be... I know it. Even though you chose Hyunseong over me just now, I'll still choose you over flowers.

I closed my eyes and replayed some of my memories of us... "Hi, I'm Hyemi." A girl walked up to me in the middle school field. "Yo, I'm Minwoo." She smiled at me and tapped my arm. "Tag! You're it!"... "Minwoo, you're such a nerd! Your glasses are so out of style." The bully was about to grab my glasses when Hyemi pushed him away. "Don't say that to him! I think he's perfect just the way he is!" The bully retreated, "Sorry, Hyemi." "Thank you," I was about to cry when Hyemi squeezed my cheeks. "Minmin! You have to defend yourself. You can't let people push you around!" She cares about me, I blushed... "Minwoo, do you want me to walk you home?" Seohee asked as she guided me to a chair. I watched Hyemi teach Youngmin the homecoming spotlight dance. "That's alright, Hyemi promised me ice cream."... "Mimi-ah!" Youngmin shouted. "So who's going to be your dance partner for the spotlight dance?" Without hesitation, Hyemi turned around and smiled, "Minwoo. Only Minwoo."... "I want pie," Hyemi mumbled on the other line. "Huh? No, I'm trying to tell you that I love you!" I confessed. Hyemi snored on the other end of the phone. I laughed at myself. "Minwoo, you're pathetic. You just told her you loved her over the phone."... "Hey! I have abs! You want to see them?" I stood up and pulled my shirt up a couple of inches, revealing a bit of my boxers. "Oppa!" I smiled. "Did you... Call me Oppa?"... After a few seconds of silence, Hyemi bursted out laughing. I looked up, confused. "Why are you laughing?" Hyemi tapped the cheek I accidentally kissed. "I got my first kiss."... "Hello? Sorry, wrong number." I ended the called. I squinted at Youngmin's new cell phone wallpaper. It was of Hyemi sleeping on his lap in a beautiful floral dress... I held up the heart shaped necklace. "I'm going to stop by her house after we buy these things and give the necklace to her. Is it too cheesy?" Eunhae shook her head. "I'm sure she'll say yes. Fighting!"... "Sorry for what?!" Hyemi was upset again. "For playing with my heart?! For leading me on?! For not trusting me?!" "Why are you yelling?!" "Because I love you!" Hyemi screamed, tears flowing out again... "What the hell is happening? Give me back my trashcan!" Youngmin pushed me away and looked at Hyunseong and Hyemi. ". Minwoo, we lost to the Junior class president."... Hyemi stepped back quickly. "No, I don't. It looks too expensive." Agitated, I replied, "Please. I bought it for you. Mimi-ah. I love yo-" "I love Hyunseong!" My heart ached... "Why are you smiling?" "Because I'm happy"...

Our memories are precious to me. You made me a very happy guy, Hyemi, I hope you know that. Even before I fell in love with you, you were the person I would wake up and go to sleep thinking about. You were my best friend and an amazing girl. Once I get the chance, I promise to treat you better. To make up for all of the pain I made you suffer through. I promised Donghyun-hyung that I would always make you happy; but I couldn't keep it. Althoug, there is one promise I will make sure I keep... I promise I will only love you. I know you love Hyunseong right now but I will wait. I'll watch and protect you from the distance. I will wait until I get a second chance. I will wait until it's our turn to love again. If it takes a million years, and three lifetimes, I will wait for you. I know nothing about love but you're someone I can't live without. Mimi-ah, I love you.

----- Hyunseong's POV -----

"You tell me." I smirked and closed my eyes, waiting for her answer. She giggled and placed her soft lips on mine. "Will you be my girlfriend?"

Hyemi smiled and kissed me again. "You tell me."

"To the freshmen class, right?"... "Oh, sorry!" I peeked from behind the Student Government door. "Hyemi!" I rushed over to hurt, grabbing her hurt arm. "Are you ok?! Does it hurt?"... Hyemi bowed quickly, "Thank you for putting up all of the posters." I scratched the back of my head. "No problem."... "Hyemi-ah? What's wrong?" I walked up to Hyemi and looked at where she was staring at. I saw Minwoo and Eunhae. "That jerk..." I was about to run after them when she grabbed my arm to stop me. "Hyunseong. Am I not good enough?"... I sighed and left the peanut butter and jelly sanwhich ontop of the table. I looked back at Hyemi who was meticulously solving a problem before I left. "But your smile is the most beautiful thing in the world.".... "Neither of you deserve her." Youngmin crossed his arms. "And you think you do?" I smirked. "Hyunseong-ah!" Hyemi poked her head into the dance room. "Ah, you're here?"... "I like your dress. You look like an angel."... "Hyunseong-ah... I was letting you kiss me." "I did kiss you," I said innocently... I pointed at her heart. "I'll wait until the day that I'm the only one in there. I'll wait a hundred years, if that's what it takes."... "I always seem to bump into you when you're crying."... I smiled at her. "I love you, Hyemi-ah." "I-I love you, too, Hyunseong-Oppa."... The door opened. "Long time no see, my lovely Minwo-" "Um, hi." I bluntly greeted. "I'm Hyunseong. Is Hyemi-ah there?"... I know she won't leave me for him, I thought. But he's still an important person to her. It's mean to want her all to myself, but I don't like sharing... "I'm not mad, but you need to choose." I pulled back and pointed at her heart. "Me or Minwoo?"

Hyemi-ah, I just met you a few months ago but I love you. I'd be lying if I said that I've never liked a girl before, but I've never had a girlfriend. You're very special to me. I remember every little thing we've done, every moment we've shared. And I'm ready to share so much more moments with you. You're in my future, Hyemi-ah, I want us to last a long time... But I have to confess, I doubt we're going to last as long as I want us to. I'm graduating in a little more than a year and I don't want to tie you down into this relationship. You've got the whole world ahead of you. You're loved by every person you meet. You're set. Minwoo will always be by your side, so I will return you back to him when the time comes. He's going to wait for you, Hyemi. Aren't you happy you've got someone waiting for you? But don't end up with Youngmin; he's a head; he punched me, haha. Anyways, I want to thank you in advance for everything you've done. You don't know how happy you've made me. But 'we' are eventually going to break up, you know that, right? So until then, I promise to make you happy. I promise to make you proud of me. I promise to treat you how you should be treated. Like a princess.
