The kiss lasted less than 30 seconds but felt like an eternity.

Out of all the crazy that’s happened in my life, this definitely tops it all. The amount of fans that had taken pictures and videos of the kiss was the worst part. The second Mino parted from me, he took a few steps back and bowed to the fans before waving goodbye and leaving Hanbin and I there, shocked and frozen.

Once Mino left, my gaze fell on Hanbin who looked nothing but furious. He was trying so hard to not go after Mino since the fans were still trying to get him to pay attention to them.

He tried his best to stay composed as he looked at me. I decided it was best if we didn’t exit the scene together so I left him there with the group of fans and began to make my way home.

I was still so shocked by everything that had just happened as I recalled it over and over again during the drive home and once I made it to my apartment I realized Hiyori was oblivious to it all and that I would somehow have to explain it to her.

“you’re back already? How did it go?” she asked me as I watched her take some food out of the fridge and place it on the kitchen counter

“absolutely terrible” I mumbled, which caught her attention

“what? Why? Did he get mad?” she asked

“I’m pretty sure it’s all online by now, so just check your phone” I stated before I dragged my feet across the room and entered my bedroom,

“Minj? You ok?” I heard Hiyori calling me from the kitchen but I didn’t have the desire to respond

I walked over to my bed, sat down and covered my face with my hands while shutting my eyes to see nothing but darkness.

Mino and Hanbin were vulnerable to the public eye since it was a part of their career. I know whatever is online will definitely cause Mino some problems and even Hanbin. What even more is the fact that the first time I saw Hanbin…. He was trying so hard to stay away from all the publicity and protection that comes with his career. He was so tired with the constant looks from strangers and the hidden cameras that he did whatever he could to hide from it all….. And what I did today was the complete opposite of what he may have wanted.

I ruined everything by thinking I knew best.

If only I had listened to Hanbin and just stayed at home, never meeting Mino to explain what was going on. I could have saved him from all this mess and I could have saved myself from that scene.

“WHERE’S MINJ?”

I heard my apartment door open and Hanbin entering. I got up from my bed and began to make my way out but stopped once I took in how awkward it may be to see him right now.

I was ashamed of what happened and after all we’ve been through, I felt like I wasn’t ‘worthy’ of seeing him right now.

“she’s in her room, why? What’s going on? Why is no one telling me?!” Hiyori yelled as I heard Hanbin’s footsteps come closer to my room.

I panicked and tried to figure out what to do. My door was shut so that gave me some time to figure out a plan. But I began to freak out the cl
