"Minho, are you alright? You seem tensed." Victoria finally asked as she have been noticing how uncomfortable Minho looks ever since she took the seat next to him 

 

"Hm? Oh Noona, I'm fine. Maybe just a little tired." Minho faked a smile, Victoria eyed him suspiciously, it didn't take long that Victoria guessed why he seemed like that, she turned her gaze towards Sulli and just like she suspected, it was true 

 

"It's Sulli, isn't it?" Victoria said, Minho heaved a small sigh. Victoria gently patted Minho on the shoulders, smiling sweetly towards him 

 

"It's hard, I know. I've been in the same place before but you know, the more you look, the more you get hurt.  She's happy now, Minho. You should be too." Victoria cooed, Minho grinned 

 

"I should be but my happiness belongs with her. She's my source of happiness, now that we're just best friends, I couldn't get the same happiness I had before" Minho explained, looking sadden as he bowed his head. Victoria sighed, pitying Minho 

 

"Just look at her smile, Minho. It's real, it's genuine. A year ago, the only thing I saw from her was tears and fake smiles but now, it's the complete opposite. I love seeing that smile, I'm sure you love seeing it too, maybe even more" Victoria said, grinning slightly, having her gaze at Sulli, smiling and laughing loudly  

 

It was true, Sulli's smile brightens Minho's world. Before whenever he had a bad day or what, just a simple smile from her brightens his day. With her, the gray clouds above him turned blue but now that they're not together, the gray clouds stay gray

 

============================

 

"Well well Mr. Choi seems like anytime soon I'll be getting your ex wife. What do you think about that?" Chanyeol says from behind as he came close to Minho who was out in the garden part of the restaurant 

 

Minho scoffed,this guy has the nerve,"What makes you think you'll have her that easily?"  

 

"She's slowly falling for me, Choi. I'll have her one way or the other. I always get what I want, no matter what comes up." Chanyeol boasted, Minho clutched his fingers together, restraining himself from hitting Chanyeol in the face 

 

"Oh really? You always get what you want? Like the same way, you bribed your way to your position right now? Money isn't always the answer, you can't simply get Sulli with money, she's much smarter than you think" Minho retorted, turning to look at him. Chanyeol had a shocked expression on his face, Minho smirked, busted

 

Before Chanyeol could say anything back, Sulli came into the picture asking the two come back inside since they're going to cut the cake and have a toast. Leaving first, Minho gave a in-your-face-you-jerk face to Chanyeol 

 

Minho: 1 

Chanyeol: 0 

 

============================

 

"Thank you everyone for coming out tonight. It's really a pleasure having you being here with me tonight to celebrate the 1st anniversary of this place. I would have never thought that I'll be able to reach a year in this industry but miraculously, I did." Sulli started out saying, looking around smiling 

 

"To put in short, the past year or so was definitely a new change for me. With all the things that happened, it actually resulted into something good. I honestly owe it to my best friend, Victoria for having my back and always being there. Thank you so much unnie, without your constant care and support, this wouldn't even be here right now" Sulli continued, looking at Victoria, tears building up

 

"And lastly, I would like to thank the man that loves me unconditionally even through the challenges we faced together. Minho, thank you for everything. And of course, thank you everyone once again. Cheers!" Sulli toasted, raising her glass up.

 

"Congratulations, beautiful" Minho said as he slipped his hand around Sulli's waist. It was a rare moment to have her by herself since all night, she was busy with the other guests 

 

"Thank you, Mr. Handsome" Sulli giggled. Properly giving her a hug, Minho tightened his grip on Sulli, almost like possessing her. Suddenly, soft music started to play which eventually lead everyone to dancing

 

"Can I have this dance, Miss Beautiful?" Minho said as he let go of the hug and offered his hand out. Giggling, Sulli nodded and held his hand. Taking the first step, Minho lead the way. 

 

"This seems so familiar, don't you think?" Sulli said, looking straight at Minho. He chuckled, nodding 

 

"Our first dance together. Remember that?" Minho said, smiling. Sulli thought back to it, and he was right. This exact same situation was like their first dance together after being proposed to 

 

[flashback] 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Of course, how could I forget that?" Sulli says, slightly smiling. 

 

"I hope you didn't forget everything that happened to us. Like our first dance, our first kiss, everything. Even if we aren't in any relationship besides being friends, I hope you will always remember that." Minho said, as a response, Sulli smiled 

 

Suddenly, Minho leaned his face closer to Sulli's and eventually having their lips touch each other's. To his surprise, Sulli didn't let go but rather responded to it but their happiness didn't last long as a hand landed on  Minho's face

 

"Oh my God, Minho! Are you okay? Chanyeol, STOP! WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU DOING?! STOP" Sulli yelled out as she tried to pull Chanyeol away from Minho
