“Bye Jun” Hwangbo said as Youngsaeng dropped Hyungjun at his place. He left the dorm since both Kyu and Jungmin were away and has now moved in with Youngsaeng. Hyungjun appeared very sleepy. He was too excited about the sting to sleep and now sleep claimed him.

“Get some rest. I’ll be back soon” Youngsaeng instructed

Hyungjun nodded sleepily and waved to them lightly before going into the house. After he got in Youngsaeng started the engine again and drove towards Hwangbo’s apartment. A very tensed silence prevailed in the car as none talked—Hwangbo refused to give in and Youngsaeng was doubtful about how to approach since Hwangbo was already very mad at him. She hasn’t been talking much to him at all after their fight the previous night. She only spoke when required and the word limit hardly crossed ten. When they reached her place,even then Youngsaeng was unsure about his approach.

“I am going then” Hwangbo said alittle too formal and unbuckling herself opened the car door

“Hwangbo wait!” Youngsaeng cried

Hwangbo halted her movements but didn’t turn around to face Youngsaeng.

Youngsaeng took a deep breath and then said “I think DSP is trying to tear us apart again”

DING DONG

Grandma opened the door wearing a broad,mischievious grin “Did it work?” she squeeled,excitement clear in her voice. Somin shook her head nonchalantly,shrugging her shoulders. “I saw the car kiss!” Grandma hit her arm lovingly “It worked didn’t it? Didn’t it?” she poked Somin and finally Somin nodded,smilingly gleefully

“OMO! This is great!!!! Finally ! finally you two are together!” Grandma took Somin’s hand and started swirling around in the living room “Oh I’m so happy! Kim hyunjoong is going to be my grandson-in-law!”

“Granny! Granny! We just sorted out our misunderstandings marriage is still a far-fetched thing” Somin said,calming her Granny

“Ah proposal is done marriage is going to follow soon.” Granny blew off Somin’s pessimistic attitude. "You are going to marry him then you’re going to have babies! Omo! With you and him as parents the babies are going to be so cute—“

“Jeez! Granny hold your horses! Don’t dream about so far ahead!” Somin said

Granny pouted but the next moment her expression changed into that of mischievious curiousity “So when are you seeing him again?” she asked,dancing her eyebrows

“Well we’re going out for dinner tonight…” Somin said shyly.

“Omo jongmal?! Oh! This is so great! You must look your very best! I’ll choose your clothes and do your make-up. When is he coming to pick you up?”

“Around seven-ish”

“Hyunjoong’s two time near-death experiences,Kyu’s preponed military enrollment…all this got me thinking actually” Youngsaeng sighed. Youngsaeng’s theory that DSP might be behind all this, gave Hwangbo goosebumps.

“But planning an attack on Hyunjoong like that…I dunno….could they really stoop so low?” she said

“They can do whatever it takes to maintain their reputation. If we make a comeback,whenever that is, the first one that will get a blow is DSP cause then audience will understand that DSP was the reason SS501 broke up” youngsaeng explained “They cant let that happen,at any cost”

“Oh God…” Hwangbo leaned back in her seat and pressed on her temples “Did you tell the others?” she asked after a while

“No…just you”

“Don’t you think you should tell them?”

“It’s just a theory Hwangbo….and anyways things were complicated then,the Hyunjoong,Somin and Jungmin triangle and all” Youngsaeng mumbled

“How about now?”

“Things just got sorted Hwangbo…let them enjoy for a while. Eitherway it’s just a theory…I’ll tell them when I am more certain” Youngsaeng said

Hwangbo understood. Both of them were looking away from each other thoughtfully. Finally Hwangbo turned to him “Mianhe Youngsaeng” she whispered

Youngsaeng turned to her.

“I am sorry I was so rude all this while. Actually…when my close people keep things from me. I can’t really handle it well…it really pisses me off” she chuckled

Youngsaeng put his hand over hers and pressed lightly
