Anya. Key lied, maybe he was confusing me with EunMi. Aissh! Why didn't I know about this?!

"Surprised?" Oppa asked suddenly.

"You think?!" I shrieked.

He laughed at my ignorance. "I ended up telling Onew hyung about everything."

"Onew?"

Jonghyun nodded. "I told him one night when Key, Minho, and Taemin were out for their schedules. He seemed taken back, but he kept his composure. To this day, I still don't know how he really felt about the situation."

Jonghyun told everything to Onew? Like everything? Even my feelings? Even all those times where I couldn't help but sit in my room and think that I'd never get anywhere? All those times when I'd cry to Jiyoung about being in love and not being loved back?

Jiyoung.

What happened to that girl? We were trainees together! It was me, Jiyoung, and Joo-yeon. We were so close... What happened to them?

*Lee Jiyoung*

"Onew Oppa, do you want to join me for lunch? Joo-yeon and the others are going somewhere else, so I thought I'd ask a friend." I smiled politely.

"Arasso." Onew answered nonchalantly.

Why does he never seem excited when a pretty girl like me invites him out to lunch? Aigoo, men are so clueless. Then again, I'm not looking for anything special. He's probably still hung up on Lindi. He needs to get over it. That overachiever. Why can't she just disappear?

Onew Oppa joined me at a small noodle shop. I figured that taking him somewhere too fancy would make him think I'm stuck up.

"Oppa, how's your ramyen?" I asked.

"Fine."

I hate one word answers.

I threw my chopsticks down. "Yah! Show some personality when you're in public! It's rude!"

Onew rolled his eyes. "I'm not interested in any of your bribes, Jiyoung-ah."

"Bribes?" I scoffed. "Excuse me? Why are you speaking to me like this?"

"Don't kid yourself. Just because we're out of the SM building doesn't mean that you need to act mature. Let the press see how you try to get me to have a public relationship with you." Oppa calmly ranted. He leaned closer to me. "News flash: I'm not interested."

"Oppa!" I threw my purse down. "Omo!" I bent down quickly after I realized how expensive it was. "Oppa, how could you say that?"

"Komawo for the lunch, Jiyoung." Onew stood up to leave.

"Anya!" I grabbed his arm.

He looked down at me, waiting for an explanation for my tight grip. "Bwoh?"

"Stay." I said firmly. "I don't think Soo Man Sunbae would appreciate another SM scandal."

"What are you talking about?" Onew tried to tug his arm away.

I hardened my grip. "Stay." I repeated. "Or the press will find out how you're still in love with your dongsaeng's girlfriend."
