Ever since Youngjae and Heerin had gone steady, Youngjae wouldn't return home early. He would only come home when it was 8pm. And that was the earliest. Once, he even came back at 12 midnight. And of course, Yongguk was furious. He was the one who allowed Youngjae to get into a relationship though. He was more than happy because Youngjae wasn't much interested in girls and finally, he was.

  "That brat. He leaves this house at 6am and only come back at 8pm. I mean, he's her boyfriend. Not her bodyguard! He doesn't have to followher from morning till night right?" Yongguk groaned as he poked the piece of hash brown furiously. "No wonder you couldn't find yourself a girlfriend." You mumbled. Yongguk shot you a glare and you zipped your mouth immediately. *How can you find a girlfriend like that, oppa? It's really worrying. And, that's what boyfriends should do. Isn't it?* You thought.

  "That's why my darling girl, you should not date early." He patted your head. You grinned a little too quick, hoping he didn't suspect anything. Of course he didn't. *I AM in a relationship with oppa. But I'm still home right? Even if I have Jongin oppa, I wouldn't forget you all.*

  It was a Monday morning. School reopened as usual.

  You were sitting in class waiting for your teacher when Kai approached you.

  He propped his elbow on the table and rested his chin on his palms. 

  "Annyeong ~~~ baby." He whispered the 'baby'. "Oppa, you can't call me 'baby' in school. We're classmates in school, remember?" You whispered the 'baby' as well but you still smiled. "Araso Araso." He nodded and pulled the chair out to sit beside you.

  Before you could argue that he should not be sitting beside you, he held out a hand, palm facing you, signaling you to stop. "I know. I know. I'll go back when teacher comes. Is that alright, Miss Lee?" He joked. "Yes, Mr Kim." You played along with him as well and both of you cracked up. 

  Both of you discussed about where you all wanted to go on Friday. You laughed and joked around with Kai, unknowing that someone was watching.  By looking at the way both of you were communicating, it was clear to him that both of you were dating.

  "See you later, Miss Lee." He saluted and left as your teacher came in with her books. You chuckled and got out your books for the lesson. 

  Meanwhile on the other hand, Jongup had gathered Youngjae, Daehyun and Zelo for an 'emergency' meeting. 

  "What is it that's so emergency, Jongup? Class is starting." Youngjae tapped on his foot impatiently as he looked at his watch on his right wrist. "And since when did you bother about class, hyung?" Jongup raised an eyebrow. "Oh right, there's your Heerin in there." Jongup said flatly which earned him a death glare from Youngjae. He hated it when people used sarcasm on him. Especially when it's not jokingly.

  Sensing the awkward tension in the air, Zelo interrupted. "Okay okay. So why did you gather ask here, hyung?" Zelo asked, hoping everyone would calm down.

  "I sense something wrong with ~~~ recently. Don't y'all? She's really happy recently and she's really close to the EXO boys as well. Do you think she's dating one of them? Especially the Kai guy?" Jongup raised an eyebrow. Daehyun widened his eyes for a short while as he panicked. He shrugged casually and stuck his hands into his pocket coolly though he was panicking inside.

  "They're just good friends. And we're good with them too. I doubt ~~~ is dating anyone of them because it seems like none of them is her cup of tea. Aish, Jongup, you're just here to say this? I'm out of here." He left with his hands still stuck in his pocket. *Gosh. Since when was Jongup so concerned? ~~~ needs to do something about it before Jongup tells Yongguk. I thought Yongguk would be the problem but I guess Jongup's the problem now.*

  He turned back to see his other brothers still there. "Come on! Guys, if we get any more detention, we're gonna get it from Yongguk hyung!" Daehyun shouted and the boys scurried back to class. Jongup was still suspicious about it. He still couldn't believe it. *I'm only extremely happy when I got my girl.* Jongup tilted his head in confusion before heading to class.

  After class, you packed your baooks neatly on your table and was about to go for break with EXO when Jongup stopped you. 

  "~~~-ah, I need to talk to you." He grasped your hand lightly but firmly and pulled you but you didn't move. "Oppa, why?" You tilted your head in confusion and curiosity. "Just come." He grasped your hand harder which made you winced in pain. "O-okay oppa. Pain." You pointed to your wrist. Jongup looked to your wrist and loosen it immediately. "Sorry." He rubbed your wrist lightly. *Why is oppa like that? Did something happen? It's rare that Jongup oppa, the happy virus was never like that.*

  Before Jongup could pull you to go, a hand grabbed you on your other wrist. You jerked your head around to see Daehyun smiling a little but his eyebrows were kind of furrowed, from the way you see it. "Jongup, ~~~'s form teacher wants to see her." Daehyun made up an excuse. "But-" You wanted to say that your form teacher weren't around but Daehyun winked, more like his eyes were cramping and you knew there was something going on. You kept quiet and nodded. Before Jongup could say anything, Daehyun had already dragged you far away from him.

  "Oppa, what's happening?" You pushed his hand off your wrist slowly but with all your strength because his grip was hard. However, it wasn't hurting like how Jongup held you just now. "That's the question for you!" He raised his voice and you flinched a little at his loud voice. 

  He ran his fingers through his hair in frustration. "Aish. I think the guys know you're dating already. I mean Jongup's suspecting it already. He seem really outgoing and fun on the outside but when it comes to relationship, he's really sticky about it. No lie. I know him." Daehyun sighed as he confessed. 

  "Oh no, oppa. What should I do?" You panicked as you started pacing around. "Wait, oppa, Jongup oppa doesn't know but you do?" You gave him a demanding look. "I-I know. From the way both of you talk, from the way you look at him an the way he look at you. Anyone can tell.. Or maybe just me. And Jongup. Because apparently, people around you are so stupid that they can't tell." He muttered the last sentence but you heard it.

  *Is it so obvious?* As if Daehyun could read your mind, he replied, "Yes. It is so obvious. At least to me. And Jongup."

  "We'll talk later when we get home. For the meantime, if Jongup looks for you, avoid him. And if he talks to you about that, change topic. I know you change topics really well. And, most importantly, stop all the PDA with Kai araso? I get really pissed when I see it too. Before I change my mind about talking to Yongguk hyung about letting both of you go steady, both of you better keep to the rules." He warned.   

 "Really? Thank you oppa!" Your eyes widened in surprise. He returned you a scoff. "Thanks to you. My break is gone." He rolled his eyes. "Come on, I'll send you back to class."

  After lessons, you didn't meet Kai. You knew you couldn't. *Which girlfriend has to stay away from her boyfriend? I feel so bad.* You hated the fact that you might have to stay away from Kai. You pulled out your phone and texted Kai.

  Oppa, I'm sorry. Something cropped up. Go home first alright? I'll call you later to explain. Love you.

  As usual, he didn't ask why. 

  No problem babe. Love you too. <3

  You smiled at the message. *Such an understanding boyfriend. How would my life be without you, Kim Jongin?*

--------------------

  Night came quickly. With the help of Daehyun, you managed to change topics when talking to Jongup and even avoid him.   You were sitting in front of the desk, admiring the bright moon hanging on the vast starry night sky. *Oppa, it's just a few hours and I'm missing you already. Do you miss me too?*

  Kai, on the other hand, was thinking of you too. Of course. *~~~, no matter what happens, I would never leave you. Unless you ask me to, I would not. I swear on my life. I don't know what's going on right now and I want to know. I don't want you to keep it to yourself and suffer alone. But if you don't want to tell me, I wouldn't force you. I would respect your decision.*

-Knock-

  "Come in." You said as you finished your last sentence of your diary. You whipped your head around and saw Daehyun walking into your room. With two cups of milk of course. Probably warm ones and cookies as usual. Your lips hitched upwards to form a grin. "Oppa." *My superhero.*

  Daehyun settled the tray on the table and took both glasses of milk and the plate of cookie before putting the tray at the side. He pulled the chair out and sat on it comfortably. He crossed his legs and propped his elbows on his knees with his hands locked. "I'm sure you've got some confessions to make."

  You looked at him and blinked a few times, pretending you didn't know what he was talking about. "Oppa, you look gay." You attempted a joke but his poker face remained. You chuckled uneasily when he didn't laugh at your joke. "Be serious because I'm serious." He gave a stern expression which sent shivers down your spine. "Why so serious?" You asked, a little annoyed. "Fine." You admitted.

  "Yes oppa, Kai is my boyfriend." You sighed. Not because you were unhappy about Kai, that was the last thing you would do, but because you had to confess to Daehyun. You didn't know this confession would have been so quick. Daehyun widened his eyes and dropped his jaw in that instance. "Gosh. Both of you got together on that day when I was around and I didn't know?" He shook his head in disbelief. He was just pretending though. He knew it long ago.

  "I don't know what to do but one thing for sure is that, I'm on your brothers' side. That's for sure." But he wasn't feeling that way inside, he was actually on your side. He knew you wanted freedom and he thought it was time to give it to you.

  "Oppa, you wouldn't do this to me, would you? I told you the truth!" You whined. 

  "I didn't ask you to. You admitted it yourself. You could have choose not to tell me though." He raised an eyebrow. You swore you wanted to punch him in the face that moment. His face was literally printed with the words 'punch me'.

  You swallowed hard, trying to control your anger and attempted your aegyo again. "Oppa.." You tried whining again. He softened for a moment but remained composed. *Crap. Stop doing this, ~~~. You know you're my weak spot. Ugh.*

  He maintain his poker face. "Nope, I'm on your brothers' side. I'm not going to let you both get together. No way." He crossed his arms and turned away.  

  "Oppa~" You tilted your head towards him and whined for the last time and that was it. Daehyun gave up. "Ugh! Fine!" He yelled out in frustration as he ran his fingers through his golden brown hair. You let out a meek smile. "I love you, oppa." "Oh please, it doesn't work on me." Daehyun rolled his eyes but inside, he was smiling. You were his weak spot, remember?

  "Okay. I'll help you but I can't promise you. So spill it." You nodded eagerly and for the first time, you told him everything willingly.   "Oppa and I started going steady on my birthday. I didn't know I love Kai. Until all the sacrifices he made for me was seen. Even when he sacrificed so much for me, I still wasn't sure. I was confused. Who do I really like? Was it Kai or Kris. So I thought for a long time and of course, it's Kai oppa. He was the one who was always there for me no matter what. I regretted not seeing him earlier. I love oppa a lot. I love him a lot. I know there are going to be many obstacles coming in our way but I'll overcome it with oppa. I will. And, I'll never leave him." You emphasized on the word 'never'.   

  Daehyun shook his head and sighed after listening to your story. "You're giving me so much trouble." You pouted and hugged him. "Oppa, I'm sorry for causing so much trouble. But I really love Kai. And he loves me too. You would help us wouldn't you? Daehyun oppa is the best oppa on earth." You flashed him a wide gummy smile which caused him to smile as well. 

  "We should tell your other brothers. Sooner or later, they'll find out. Really. Especially when Jongup's really suspicious about it right now." 

  You nodded and continued to spill all the other things you have to say, to Daehyun.

  "I think you should discuss this with Kai and you should just admit that you're dating. At most, Yongguk hyung's just gonna skin Kai alive. That's all." He attempted to joke but you took it seriously. You widened your eyes and started chewing on your nails. "Really?" Daehyun knocked your head slightly. "I was just kidding. Of course not. Yongguk wouldn't do that. It would be fine. Don't worry." He assured you with a smile. Only then, you started smiling a little.    "Okay, go to sleep now. Prepare for school tomorrow." He patted your lap. You held his hand and wished him goodnight before he left your room.

  You took out your phone and texted Kai.

  Oppa, I'll talk to you tomorrow alright? I'm a little tired today. Usual place at 7am okay? I'll explain everything to you tomorrow. Sorry oppa. I love you. 

  It's alright baby. I understand. Go to sleep now. I don't want to see a panda tomorrow. Okay, 7am, usual place.

  You smiled at the message your sweet and understanding boyfriend had sent you and closed the message. You stared at your wallpaper, admiring it. *Oppa, what would I do if I don't have you? What would I do if oppa don't allow our relationship? What would I do?* You sighed and rolled over so that your face was facing down on the bed. "I love you, oppa." You mumbled into your pillow before you fell into a deep slumber.
