“Da-date?” Gyuri and Nick cried in unison

Gyuri turned to Jungmin and pleadingly asked “Is that true oppa?”

But Jungmin was in no state to answer—he was just too shocked. Gyuri tried to approach but Seungyeon held her back “Are you doubting me?” she said raising an eyebrow

“A-ani…it’s just that” Gyuri stuttered

“Just what?” Seungyeon snapped. Jungmin finally regained his composure and was about to stand up when she spoke again “Gyuri..i’d really request you guys to leave..I don’t wanna ruin our date”

“Ku-kure” Gyuri bowed to Jungmin who was now half-sitting and half-standing. Nick followed her with clumsy steps. When they exited out of the restaurant Jungmin sighed and sat back in his chair. He took his face in his hands. He cant believe what just happened—he just came out to grab a bite with this stubborn kid that too out of sheer pity for the girl and this psycho announce they are dating?

He raised his head and looked at the girl who was quietly eating her food,as if nothing happened. Anger boiled inside jungmin as he watched her. He generally doesn’t get this angry; over the years he has become skilled at anger management but presently he was at the end of his tether. He exhaled closing his eyes to calm himself. “What was all that?” he finally asked

“What?” Seungyeon asked innocently,not making eye contact

“This girl really..” Jungmin gritted his teeth. “what’s the deal with me and you dating?”

“What’s there? We ARE kinda on a date” Seungyeon said shrugging her shoulders

“WE ARE NOT ON A DATE!” Jungmin yelled. People turned to look at their table. Jungmin apologized and bowed lowly. He sighed and then turned again to the tempermental freak “What gives you the utterly ridiculous idea that we are here on a date?”

“Well…this restaurant’s atmosphere is of secret dates” she said matter-of-factly

“You brought me here”

“You came on your own free will”

“That’s cause you pleaded—“ Jungmin had almost risen up from his seat in fury. He breathed out and sat back. He pressed his temples thinking of the ridiculous situation he’s presently in. “You know what…I came here on my own will and now I’m leaving on my own free will. GOODBYE” Jungmin rose up and turned around to leave

“I love him” Seungyeon suddenly cried making Jungmin stop in his track. Jungmin turned and looked at her with narrowed eyes “Nick….was my boyfriend”

“Marry her?” Jihoo looked at Junjin in utter astonishment

“Yes” Junjin replied calmly

“You cant be serious” Jihoo chuckled nervously

“I am 1000% serious”

Jihoo turned to Haera who stood frozen “Is he serious?”

“Well…”Haera gulped nervously

“She just said yes to me” Junjin stated

“WHAT?!” Jihoo was taken aback “is it true? What he’s saying?” he charged his sister

“De hyung” Haera replied timidly

“Are you out of you mind?! Do you have any idea what you are jumping into?” Jihoo yelled

“He loves me hyung…and I love him too!” Haera tried to explain

“Love him? How do you know you love him huh?” Jihoo held Haera’s shoulders “till few days ago you were over that confused idiot and now you’re saying you love this guy! Do you know how stupid and immature—”

“Sunbae” Junjin placed his hand on Jihoo’s shoulder “It’s her decision whom she wants to marry”

“Don’t you dare!” Jihoo glared at Junjin “Don’t you dare tell me what is good for my sister!”

“I’m not tryi—“

“Get out of my house” Jihoo commanded “RIGHT NOW!”

Junjin and Haera exchanged helpless looks and finally Junjin sighed and left

“Hyung—“ Haera tried to explain when Junjin left

“Go to your room” jihoo ordered. Haera looked at him pleadingly but it was of no use and she finally left

Jihoo dropped into the nearest couch and pressed his temples. He looked at the clock and then pulled out his car keys. It was late but he needed to see her. Jihoo took out his car and drove towards Somin’s place
