“ Where is that guy ? “

“ Who ? “

“ Don't hide him from me. “

“ I don't understand of what you're talking. “

“ I'm sure he's hiding somewhere around here. “

“ Once again I'm asking you .. who ? “

“ Lee Taemin ! Where is he ? “

“ Geez Ssul. I have a better things to do than hid him from you. “

“ Whatever. Just tell me where is that mushroom head. “

“ Chill Ssul. He's watching the soccer game at the school field. “

“ Great ! “

 

Chunji don't bother to ask further and just watched as Sulli walked away. Well truthfully he don't even dare to ask further, by looking at Sulli's fierce expression, he just knew that Lee Taemin had messed up something. But seconds after that he changed his minds and hurriedly following Sulli from behind, just in case his presence is needed in helping Taemin, who might probably have bruise on his face later.

Her eyes wandered around the benches and just like a scanner she able to detects the one, who had his eyes glued on the game. Without further waiting, she stomped her feet towards him, not even care with the groan that Seunghyun made when she accidentally steps on his foot when passing by him and not to mention the hisses from the students who happened to sat at the same row as Taemin, saying ' You're blocking us ! ' to her. Her focus was on Taemin and only that.

 

“ Jagiya, I'm trying to watch the game. “

Kai as playful as he is, says those just to annoyed the girl who happened to stood right in front of him but his smiles immediately faded when she threw him her fierce gaze.

 

“ Err, Taem. I think it's for you ? “

He nudge the boy next to him who was so into the game since then, to not even care that there's a girl nearby him, waiting to throwing her rage.

“ Huh ? Oh, hey Ssul. “

 

His attention was now on Sulli but then was completely surprised when suddenly she dragged him away from the place, making Kai and the gang to watched in dumbfounded not to mention Chunji who just faced palmed after being the witnessed of the scene.

 

“ What happen ? “ Kai asked after he hurriedly went down to meet Chunji.

“ He's a dead meat. “

 

 

Dance Studio

 

Taemin able to catch his breath after the marathon that was technically initiated by Sulli that happened to made him stumble for couple of times before they managed to reach the room. While still fanning himself, he noticed that the girl were busy locking the door behind him through the mirror reflection, so he immediately turned to his back, staring at her in confusion.

 

“ Why did you locked the door ? “

She didn't answer him right away but just stomped towards him and, “ OUCH !! “ She kicked his left leg.

“ WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT LEE TAEMIN ?!! “

Instead of being pity towards her best friend, who's crouching at the floor due to the pain that she gave just now, she just screamed all her heart out to him.

“ Aish ! First of all, that was really pain and second you are so loud. And third, what the heck with the kick ?! “

“ That was for setting me up with Oh Sehun. “

His eyes was wide opened once he caught the words from her.

“ H-how did you know ? “

“ Apparently he made his confession to me 15 minutes ago. “

 

* Great ! Now where is his courage suddenly coming from ? *

 

“ Darn ! Do he have to do it without notifying me ? “

He mumbled but was loud enough for Sulli to hear it.

“ So it was true ! “

Hesitantly he nodded to her but quickly throwing his gaze away from her.

 

 

 

“ I thought you will like it. “

“ I was shocked ok. “

“ So does that mean you like it ? “

“ I didn't say that. I might like it if you let me know about it first and not just burst into your plan. “

“ I don't see any difference there. “

“ There is a different. Sehun might not face any embarrassment like just now and I also not gonna appears like an idiot in front of him. “

“ Wait ! Don't say that you reject that boy. “

“ I .. didn't. Not yet. “

“ Then, what was that mean ? “

“ Did you know what just he did ? “

“ Err, no. “

“ Did you know that the boy just made his confession in front of a bunch of students, who happened to be my mates from the Theater Club ?! “

Obviously Taemin was surprised with what just she said and it was evidenced with his jaw dropped and his eyes turned into a big round looking at her.

“ Urgh ! I'm so embarrassed and this is all your fault. “

 

Sulli was really frustrated until her feet started to given in, eventually making she plopped down to the wooden floor. Taemin become restless when he saw the girl stomping her feet repeatedly like a little child while whining about how she hate of what had happened. He turned even more worried when suddenly the girl buried her face onto her palms, without speaking a word.

 

“ S-Sulli ... “ He gave a nudge but she's not responded to it.

“ Y-yah ... “

“ Wae ?! “ Finally she spoke up looking so upset at him.

“ Are you crying ? “

“ I'm not. “

Though she has the urge to cry, the tears seems didn't want to fall.

“ Are you that upset ? “ He asked when he noticed she slowly calming down.

“ What do you think ? “

“ I'm sorry. I thought I'm doing the right thing but I guess I've messed up. “

She just sat silently next to him, not even have the intention to say a word, too tired to nag at him.

 

He took a glance at her, “ I'm not doing this to embarrassed you Sulli. I care a lot about you and I'm only want good things happen to you. So when Sehun told me that he likes you, it make me think and I've decided to just help him out. Believe me, it gave me a real headache to just think about it. “

He smiled when his ears caught the soft giggles from her and his smiles went wider when he noticed the girl trying her best to held it back.

“ Sehun is a good guy and I thought he fits the best with you. Remember when we agreed on choosing a date for each other ? I was so happy when I found one for you Ssul. But, when I saw you like this, I felt bad. I felt bad for both of you and Sehun. I'm sorry. “

He waits and waited but there's no signs of Sulli might talking to him at this moment, so he decides to just leave her alone.

“ Should I leave you alone for awhile ? “

“ I didn't dragged you here so that you can leave me alone all by myself Taemin. “

Automatically, that made him to sat back next to her with a sly smiles on his face.

“ I'm still upset so put that smiles away. “

“ I thought you said I look handsome and cute with this smile and I wanna be one today, so yeah, I'm stick with this smiles. “

He simply said those and that happened made Sulli to burst into a laughter which eventually made him to be at ease.

“ I hate it when I can't keep on being mad at you. “

“ I know you do but what can you do, you just couldn't resist my charm of being able to cooling you down. “

“ Stop being so full of yourself will ya ? “

 

 

“ You don't like him ? “

“ It's not like that. “

Taemin just stared at her, waiting for her to reveal the real deal.

“ The truth is I don't really know of what I'm feeling right now. I'm still surprised by the news Taem. Suddenly, out of nowhere, Sehun confessed that he likes me and  you happened to be the culprit behind all of this. “

“ Do you hate with what just I did ? “

“ Actually, no. I'm just pissed because I had to faced this when I'm not mentally prepared. Like I said just now, it's better for you to let me know first before decide. Now, how should I face Sehun ? How do you think Sehun will feel when I told him I'm not ready for his confession in front of our mates ? “

“ Sorry, I didn't expected things will turned out like this. I just ... I don't know. “

“ Whatever. Things just happened. You can't stop it even if you want to. No point of regretting it now. “

“ Once again, sorry. “

Sulli just looked at Taemin's pity face before gently pulled him into a hug.

“ Aigoo, stop looking so pity in front of me. You made me feels guilty for scolding you just now. “

“ You forgive me right ? “

“ Of course. “

“ Thanks Ssul. “

 

 

“ Hey Ssul ... “

 

The long silence was happened to be broken at last by Taemin who is right now were looking at Sulli that was only few centimeters away from him, lying flat on her back while staring blankly at the white ceiling of the studio.

 

“ What ? “

“ Can you do me a favor ? “

“ What is it ? “

“ Can you reconsider about Sehun's feelings for you ? “

She heaved a sigh upon hearing that.

“ Please .. for me. “

“ Why do you want it to happen so badly ? “

“ I'm kinda feels bad for him and ... “

“ And ? “

“ I don't think I can find anyone who's better than him. I just feels that he's the right one for you. “

Eventually it made Sulli to completely turned to looked at him. “ You think ? “

“ He is a nice guy Ssul and I'm sure you know about it but that is not just it. He had something that others don't have. He has his heart for you. That was for sure that we don't know whether the guy out there can love you the same as he does. “

“ I have you. “

“ It's not the same kind of love and you knew it well. “

 

Sulli just pouted when Taemin able to argue back about it. It's not that Sulli doesn't understand of what he's trying to say but she just acts like she didn't. She is battling with her fears at the moment.

 

“ It was something else right ? You're bothered by something else. “

“ I'm scared. “

“ Of what exactly ? “

“ I'm afraid I might be ignoring you when I already have a boyfriend. I'm afraid I'll just be there for him and not with you. I'm afraid of turning into that person Taem. I don't want to forget my good friend. “

 

Taemin was taken aback by that outburst. He didn't expected that would be her biggest concerns. That eventually touch his heart. For hearing those coming from her own mouth making his heart to soften. He could see the water in her eyes, which seems like refused to fall down. While pulling a warm smile, he patted the girl's head lightly.

 

“ I'm sure you won't be that person. I have my trust on you and will always have. Besides, I don't think that will happen. “

“ Why do you think it won't ? “

“ It won't because I won't let it to happen. I will nag at you like there's no tomorrow just so that you remember that you still have me in your life and not just your boyfriend. Try to neglect me if you dare, you'll regret it seconds after that. “

And once again, Taemin managed to made the girl to burst into a laughter.

“ That sounds so scary .. haha. “

“ You feel better now ? “

“ I am. Thanks. “

“ Oh, look at the time now. It's passed by 5. “

“ Really ? I can't believe that we skipped class once again. “

“ Who made us skipped the class at the first place ? “

“ I know. It's my fault. “

“ You better think of something tonight so that we won't get punish tomorrow morning by Ms Kwon. “

“ Me ? Why me ? “

“ Whose fault it is at the first place ? “

“ Fine. You are so annoying. “

“ Annoyingly cute. “

“ Urghh ! You gave me goosebumps all over my body. “

“ Haha .. let's get our things at the class. “

 

 

On the way home, “ Taemin ... “

“ Hmm ? “

“ I'll think about it. “

“ Dae ? “

“ I will reconsider about Sehun's feelings. “

“ You will ? “

“ Eung. I appreciates of what you did for me and I'll talk to Sehun about it. “

“ That's hmm ... thanks for listens to me. “

 

Sulli just put her arm around his shoulder while smiling cutely at him, making Taemin to  chuckle at her before putting her arm down and wrapped his arm around her while guiding her arm around his waist.

 

“ This is better since I'm taller than you. “

“ Geez, only by few centimeters. “

“ Whatever. I'm still taller than you. “

He just did a merong to her.
