“Hyung! Jungmin is going to propose Somin tomorrow!” Youngsaeng said panting

“Oh” Hyunjoong released his grip on him and straightened up. He turned and started walking back to his couch

“Oh? What the” Youngsaeng mumbled and then he remembered Siwon was standing behind him. He turned to him.

“I’ll leave you two” Siwon nodded briefly and left. Youngsaeng ran to Hyunjoong as soon as Siwon left

“Hyung! Jungmin is going to propose Somin tomorrow! He called me up and said it himself” Youngsaeng repeated as he sat in the bean bag adjuscent to the couch

“Hmm” Hyunjoong stared blankly at the television

Youngsaeng looked disgusted he got up and switched off the TV and looked at Hyunjoong in disbelief. Hyunjoong still didn’t say or react.

“ What ‘hmm’ hyung? He’s going to propose! “

“I heard it the first time you said it” Hyunjoong said,his voice unbelievably calm

“So why are you just lazing about? Aren’t you going to do something?” Youngsaeng voice grew louder,he couldn’t believe how Hyunjoong was reacting

“What do you want me to do?”

“Don’t you think you should stop them? You are going to let off Somin so easily?Don’t you love her?”

“Honestly Youngsaeng I don’t know what I feel?”

“C’mon hyung!” Youngsaeng sighed and he raised and dropped his arms in air “you’re still confused! You said you loved her!”

“I thought I did too! But then she told me about her Love Game”

“Love Game?” Youngsaeng squinted his eyes in confusion and sat back on the bean bag

Hyunjoong closed his eyes and ran his hand through his hair. He sighed heavily and then narrated whatever happened that day in his changing room—about Somin’s confession. Youngsaeng listened attentively

“So apparently she was playing this game which got me attracted to her. It wasn’t love but infatuation” Hyunjoong finally concluded

 “Infatuation huh?”

“Seems so”

“What do you think?”

“Honestly I don’t know what I feel! I should hate her for tricking me right? But I just cant. I seriously don’t understand what I feel right now Youngsaeng. Do I hate her? Do I love her? I just don’t know” Hyunjoong buried his hands in his hair and tugged at them

“Are you planning to go back to Haera?”

“No I don’t love her”

“You’re so sure you don’t love Haera but yet you’re confused when it comes to Somin”

“What are you trying to say” Hyunjoong looked at Youngsaeng intently. He searched his eyes as if it hid his answers.

Youngsaeng smiled softly and rose up. “I hope you figure things out soon hyung” He patted his shoulders and started walking towards the door. Hyunjoong rose up and looked at his leaving figure. When Youngsaeng reached the door he turned and said “Love is a very tricky problem but that’s what makes it worthwhile”

Hyunjoong stared at the door even after Youngsaeng left. Siwon entered to find Hyunjoong staring blankly. His entrance disrupted his train of thoughts

“I am not hungry Siwon. I am going to sleep” Hyunjoong said after a while and went into his room

Jessica and Dong Sun were having their dinner. It was a silent drive to the restaurant and a silent dinner too. Neither of them exchanged a word except the basic necessary ones.

“umm…Dongie..” Jessica whispered

Dong Sun’s head shot up at the sound but his face was still inexpressive “Hmm?”

“Here are my apartment keys” Jessica placed a bunch of keys on the table “Keep them with you until I get back okay?”

Dong Sun really wanted to hear more from her,something more intimate. But Jessica just went back to her food. Dong Sun clenched his teeth “Why won’t she say anything? We wont be seeing each other for days! Doesn’t it bother her?” Dong Sun thought in his mind but he couldn’t say it out loud so he just exhaled and took the keys

Jessica eyed his movements from under her lashes “Seriously! Still nothing!!! Dongie! How can you do this?” she snorted in her head
