I stared at my phone, wondering whether to pick up the phone...

Just then someone hugged me from behind, the familiar feeling of his warmth and gentleness...

My tears started flowing out again, his gentle voice resonates around my ears, “Mianhae, jeongmal mianhae.” He said.

My heart seems to be bleeding, it really hurts a lot more than anyone else could imagine.

I turned and started giving him punches on his chest, “Oppa, you are so bad, so bad...” I felt so lost, oppa gave me a tight hug.

“Mianhae, let me explain. There was really nothing between me and Hyuna. I love you, I will always love you.” DW oppa said with an affirmed voice.

“But you didn't push her away.” Soo Ah came by along with Chae Rin.

“You didn't push her away from you immediately.” Soo Ah said to DW.

DW looked at her, “How did you know? I love Min Ah wholeheartedly, I have never felt so hurt for the whole of my twenty one years living but till I saw her crying.” DW said.

“I treasure the girl that I am hugging now more than my life.” DW said while hugging me tighter.

I hugged him back, “Oppa...” I was touched.

DW looked at me, “Min Ah, I will only want to be with you, no one else.” He said.

Chae Rin and Soo Ah then felt less worried, “Don't ever let Min Ah cry anymore, she doesn't deserve this.” Chae Rin said.

DW gently wiped my tears away with his hands, “Don't cry anymore, your tears are so so precious.” He said.

I nodded, Chae Rin and Soo Ah then leave the two of us in the room, “Leader, remember you two only have ten minutes together, We got to go practice.” Soo Ah reminded.

I nodded, “Arasso, I am the Leader, you know.” I said and the two of them left the room.

DW oppa pulled me closer to him by placing his arm around my waist, then he lowered his head to my cheek and gave me a kiss.

He then slowly kiss on my lips and we kissed rather passionately.

I pushed him away slightly, “Oppa, it's time for me to go for singing practice.” I said while blushing.

DW hugged me, “That was such a short ten minutes. Okay then, here's something for you, saranghaeyo.” I felt DW putting something on my finger.

I looked at it, “A ring?” I asked.

DW raised his right hand, the ring was on his ring finger, “Couple ring. Your name is engraved on mine and your ring has got my name engraved.” He said.

I observed the ring and saw "손동운" engraved on it, beside it was the words, "여보".

“Oppa?” I was pretty surprised about how DW was so serious about our relationship.

“Yeobo, I really wanted to be with you, could you stay by my side?” He asked.

I gave him a hug, “It shall depend on your performance. I really got to practice, oppa rest well, good night.” I said.

DW gave me a kiss, “Ne, I will miss you. Rest early today, we will be at the sound recording studio with you three tomorrow too.” He said.

Chae Rin and Soo Ah knocked on the door before entering, “Okay, I will go now.” DW said and left.

Soo Ah looked at me, "So... problem resolved?" She asked.

"So fast? Min Ah, are you sure he wouldn't fail you again?" Chae Rin asked.

I nodded, "The ring says so." I said.

The two of them looked at the words engraved, "This is so so... how do I say? Keep it properly, CEO Hong see it, you two will be doomed." Soo Ah reminded.

Chae Rin then showed us her necklace, "I have one from KK oppa too. Seems like the safest one here is our maknae isn't it?" Chae Rin and I then looked at Soo Ah.

Soo Ah showed her innocent face, "What? Come on, let's get to the practice." She said.

I nodded and went on to play the music, the rap comes first and the the music.

It was pretty good and our vocal teacher agreed on it too.

"Good job!" I said and we did a high-five together.

"But I still think my part needs some practice, you two shall go back to the dorm, I won't be taking too long." I said.

The two of them went on to change out their sweaty clothes and then left.

I stayed in the room and contined practicing, due to the my voice lost previously, I will need more time to perfect my singing before the recording.

Just then, the door knob clicked.

"Min Ah? Why are you still here? I thought your practice session is over?" DJ oppa walked in and looked at me surprisingly.

"Ah, oppa? Ne, it ended but I wanted to stay back a little while to practice before the recording starts tomorrow." I replied.

DJ patted my head gently and said, "You are trying too hard. It's so late already, you need the rest as well." he said.

I looked at him, "Oppa, then why are you here at this time? Are you here to practice as well?" I asked.

DJ smiled, "Ne, Min Ah always knows what I am going to do. I came to practice for the performance a few days later." He replied.

"Oppa, you are very hardworking too." I said.

DJ smiled really sweetly, "Guess we as the leaders are both hardworking aren't we? Are you hungry?" He asked.

I shook my head," Aniyo. What about you? Oppa, I shall get you a drink then, since I am on my way out to get a hot drink too." I said.

DJ nodded, "You decide, I will wait for you to come back then." He said.

I shook my head, "Ah gwaenchana, go on and practice, I will be back soon." I said and left the room, holding my wallet and handphone with me.

DJ was sitting in the practice room and was doing some warming up exercises before he starts his dance practice.

I was on my way to the vending machine somewhere near the end of the corridor.

Just then..

The surroundings went black and there was not even any light.

I my phone and used it as a torchlight immediately..

DJ was in the room and he was rather taken aback, almost instantly he..

"Min Ah is all alone outside now,  Na babo yah!" He grabbed his phone and dialled me.

I picked up the call, "Oppa... Where are you?" My voice trembled and my legs went soft.

"Min Ah, you are near the end of the corridor isn't it? Don't panic and just stay there okay? I will be there soon." he said.

I nodded,"Ne, I will stay and wait, please come faster.. it's really torturous." I said.

My tears started flowing due to my phobia...

Just then, someone gave me a tight hug.

"Don't cry, I will feel the hurt more than you." He said with a calming voice.

The always calm and composed DJ oppa is now feeling hurt because of me crying.

I wiped my tears and gave him a hug as well..

"Oppa, komawo, jeongmal kamsahamnida. You are always here when I needed someone." I said.

DJ gave me a gentle kiss on my forehead, "I will always be protecting you, be by your side and love you more than anything else." He vowed.

I was shock but I didn't show my anxiousness, "Oppa, shall we walk back to the practice room?" I asked.

DJ held my hand tight, "I will lead you back." He said.

I didn't know what to do right now, it was so difficult to choose..

If I let go, I wouldn't be able to walk back to the room as I lacked the courage to do so, but if I continued to hold on to that warm hand of his, I might just....

DJ seems to be able to read what's in my mind,  "Min Ah, gwaenchana. Oppa is just holding your hand because I knew you were afraid and you need me now. I wouldn't want you to worry about whether this is considered as a betrayal or something.  It's just purely that, oppa wants to bring his dongsaeng back to the practice room and get our belongings and leave." He said with the usual calming voice.

His voice really makes me feels better when it comes to this kind of situation..

Am I... I seemed to be doing everything wrongly...

Am I wrong..?
