"I'm sorry," I said, regretting I asked because obviously it hurt him to talk about it.

He looked up, "You're okay with it?"

I blinked in surprise, "What do you mean?"

He shrugged uncomfortable, "I mean, you don't mind that Ae Ri and I..."

"Why would I?"

For a split second he seemed hurt by the words I said but then he looked away so it was hard to tell if it really was true.

"Nothing," he mumbled and then stood up, "let's go back," he said without looking at me.

I nodded, a bit confused, and followed him.

It's already pretty late when we finally arrive at the dorm. The others were already there. They looked up when we entered.

"Hyung, are you alright?" they asked concerned.

"I'm fine," Aron answered.

They all still seemed worried.

"Hyung, don't tell me, you brought Niina along with you?" JR suddenly asked a bit shocked.

I looked up when I heard my name but walked away because I couldn't understand them anyway. I sat down on the couch, next to Ren and carefully listened to their conversation, testing my Korean by trying to understand words they were saying.

"I did, wae?" Aron answers.

"Babo, what if she-"

"She said she didn't mind," Aron interrupted JR and again there was a glance of pain in his eyes.

JR turned to me, "Are you serious?" he asked Aron while not averting his eyes from me.

Aron only nodded.

I looked at them, frustrated because I didn't understand.

"Are you serious?" JR repeated.

"YAH!" I shouted out of frustration.

Everyone looked shocked.

I pouted, "I don't understand what you're taking about!"

After a long silence, Baekho was the first one to react: he bursted out in laughter.

The others soon followed, amused but still slightly shocked by my reaction.

Minhyun jumped towards me, "Niina, you're so cute!!" he said as he hugged me.

"Minhyun, you're choking me," I complained.

But he refused to let go.

"Minhyun~"

"Min Hyun-ah!" I looked up in surprise when I heard JR's commanding voice.

Minhyun looked up too.

JR sighed and opened his arms.

Minhyun immediately jumped up and ran into JR's arms tackling him on his way.

They both laid on the ground, "YAH!" this time it was JR who yelled, "You didn't have to push me down!"

We all laughed at the funny sight: Minhyun refusing to let JR go and JR trying to get Minhyun's arms off his waist.

"They seem to be close?" I asked Baekho.

Baekho looks slightly surprised, "You didn't know? They're childhood friends."

"Oh, I didn't know."

"Yeah, ever since they were small, Jong Hyun-ah always took care of Min Hyun-ah. They're like brothers."

I looked at them. They were both still on the ground.

JR was now laughing and Minhyun's hair while Minhyun hid his face in JR's neck but I could still see his happy smile.

They really do look like brothers.

I slowly walked to my room, I was the only one still awake so I tried not to make a noise. When I wanted to open the door of my bedroom I suddenly felt a hand on my shoulder.

I wanted to shout but was able to hold it back. I slowly turned around and saw Baekho.

He pressed is finger against his lips, asking me to be quiet.

I nodded.

He pulled me to his room and closed the door behind him.

"What's wrong?" I asked as I sat down on his bed.

He sighed and sat down next to me.

"You lied, right?" he asked out of the blue.

"What are you talking about?"

"Ae Ri."

I faintly smiled, "You noticed?"

He nodded, "Why?"

"What else could I have done?" I asked.

"What do you mean?"

"Do you think I could have told how I felt about it? It's part of his past and there's nothing I can change about it anyway, so why complain?"

"You don't have to complain, just tell him how you really feel about it."

"Sure~ Hey Aron, to tell you the truth I'm a bit hurt because of your past and because you loved Ae Ri, although she's dead right now and there's nothing you can change, I still don't like it. Do something about it! As if I can say that!" I said bitterly.

"Well you don't have to go that far..."

"But that's basically what it comes down to, doesn't it?"

He shruged, not knowing what to say.

I immediately regreted what I said, "I'm sorry, but I think it's better if he doesn't know. I'll be able to accept it, I just need some time. I didn't expect it, that's the only reason why I feel hurt. It'll go over."

"Are you sure?"

I nodded, "I'm glad he told me, slowly I'm getting to know him better."

"Well, if you see it that way."

I smiled, "Thank you for your concern."

He smiled back, "If there's anything troubling you, you can talk to me."

"Thank you."

"And now it's time to go to sleep."

I nodded, "Thank you" I repeated.

Updated :)

JR finally acting like a leader, well sort of... xD

I've been planning on putting the JR-Minhyun-childhood-relationship in for a long time but I always seemed to forget. In Minhyun's POV there are signs of them being really close anyway :D

   'Wae' means why ^.^

Thank you for reading!! :D
