Donghae POV

I realized the stupidity of what I just did only seconds after I stormed out of the fanmeeting.

As of now, I sat down on an available space at the back of the stage for the fanmeeting, hiding my face in my hands.

I couldn't believe that I said that.

Dara noona isn't even my girlfriend. What the hell? Dara noona might think that I'm too assuming.

Or even worse, think that I'm a liar.

But God knows, I didn't mean it like that. I just meant that, so what if I had a girlfriend? What's wrong with that?

I didn't mean to imply that noona's my girlfriend.

Because she's not mine, unfortunately.

Big question. What do I do now?

I didn't realize that my manager was shouting things in my ear, and was trying to shake me out of my stupor.

A few seconds later, I came around. "Huh?What hyung?" I asked him disorientedly.

Before he could answer, the other members hurriedly came to the backstage and went to me.

Hyuk gave me a comforting hug, while the others looked hesitant to speak. "It's okay, you can scold me." I said submissively.

Leeteuk hyung shook his head.

"We're not going to scold you. We understand why you suddenly lashed out. But the problem is, everyone thinks that you and Dara ssi are a couple."

I groaned in frustration. "I'm so stupid."

"Hyung, we don't think that girl who asked was actually an ELF."Kyuhyun told me.

"Really? How can that be?" I asked, surprised.

"After you replied, she whipped her camera out and started taking pictures of your walkout."

"We put two and two together and decided that she wasn't actually an ELF. Maybe she's a secret reporter?" Siwon suggested.

"You watched too many spy movies, man." Yesung told Siwon.

Manager hyung coughed to get our attention. "This is a big problem, guys. We have to make connections with YG to sort this out."

I felt like the stupidest guy to ever walk on earth.

"Wait. I need to talk to Dara noona first."

Dara POV

I was starting to be in a good mood, because of my members' sincere efforts in making me forget the dilemma I have.

The four of us watched The Man From Nowhere on my laptop. I've watched it many times already but I still spazz over Won Bin.

I started crying when he cried in the film. The others looked at me weirdly. "What?It's so sad."  I defended.

Bom and I started screeching when Taesik, Won Bin's character tried to commit suicide.

I heard the maknaes laugh, clearly they don't understand what their unnies felt. Aigoo..

"I wanna
