Jungmin gazed into their leader’s eyes interrogatively. His gaze was intense but Hyunjoong didn’t look away,he was sure he finally knew what he wanted!

Jungmin sighed and then suddenly raised his hand throwing a thumbs up in the air. Hyunjoong was totally taken aback by this sudden action but before he recovered he heard ear piercing screams coming from behind. He turned and was shocked even further when he saw Hyungjun, Hwangbo and Youngsaeng running towards him. They all pounced on him altogether along with Jungmin,still hooting and  screaming in joy. Slowly Hwangbo backed away and went to Somin. “Told you it would work! Congratulations!” Hwangbo winked and hugged Somin.

“What-what’s going on?” Hyunjoong managed to say,he was still clueless about what the hell was happening

Hwangbo turned to Hyunjoong, by now the rest of the SSboys had left Hyunjoong and were standing by his side. “What’s going on is that you are thickheaded moron!”

Hyunjoong looked at her in confusion.Hwangbo sighed and started to explain

“Somin isn’t here to accept Jungmin’s proposal Hyunjoong…cause she already gave him her answer last night” Hwangbo said

“And it was a no…the most brutal monosyllabic word in the English language!” Jungmin joked

“And she also explained why she couldn’t accept him” Hwangbo said “because she loved you”

“So I asked her whether she confessed to you and that’s when she told me the entire tale” Jungmin said

“Jungmin already had a suspicion about you and her after your spoon-throwing incident last night and after listening to Somin’s account he understood that you also like her” Hyungjun said

“But you were just being stupid and coward by not confessing and leaving things hanging” Jungmin perched in

“So we all got together in a conference call and planned this drama in the hope that you might finally confess overwhelmed by your fear of losing her” Youngsaeng said

Hyunjoong looked like he has dropped from the sky. “Hyung…it takes a lot of courage to speak your heart and we are able to gather that courage only when we see our loved one being taken away by someone else infront of our eyes” Youngsaeng explained

Hyunjoong’s eyes flickered and then he looked down. Everyone grew alittle uneasy by his silence.

“Hyung….say something” Jungmin poked

Hyunjoong looked up but not at Jungmin but at Somin. “you tricked me again….” he breathed

“Hyunjoong…I…”Somin got scared and pressed Hwangbo’s arm nervously.

Hyunjoong left his dongsaengs and approached her with steady steps. Everyone was scared,this wasn’t the reaction they had anticipated. When finally he reached her, Hyunjoong looked at her intently. Tears pooled in Somin’s eyes. Hyunjoong misunderstood her again and this time around she feared he wouldn’t forgive her. Hyunjoong raised his hands

“Oh god he’s going to hit me!” Somin screamed in fear in her head. She closed her eyes waiting for the blow….but instead she felt her face engulfed in loving warmth. She opened her eyes slowly to find Hyunjoong staring at her lovingly,his hand cupping her face.

“But this time I am thankful you tricked me” and with that Hyunjoong claimed Somin’s lips
