As soon as the hour of practice was finished, Leeteuk went to see RaSeul.

"Seullie..."

"Leeteukie~" RaSeul gave a hug. "Tired?"

"Ne... I'm really aging fast, huh?"

"Not really. You're forever young for me."

Leeteuk smiled and flipped his girl's bangs on the side.

"People think I'm corrupting minors."

"Of course you're not. Let them die of jealousy."

"I'm so glad I have you~" he whispered softly and gently.

"Sorry to disturb you guys~" Donghae called from the doorstep. "Where's Rinnie?"

They  turned around and stood straightly.

"She's on the rooftop," RaSeul informed him. "I think she's waiting for you~"

"Thanks~" he bowed and ran cheerfully going to the rooftop.

***********************************************************

"Waiting for me?" Donghae whispered suddenly in Heerin's ear.

"Hae~" blurted Heerin, startled. "Have you eaten?"

"No, I haven't~ Pegopa," he murmured, cutely.

"I know a place...Let's eat," she suggested.

They walked to a nearby fastfood and decided to eat there.

"It's cozy here," Donghae smiled. "Let's order shall we?"

"Ne."

"What do you want to eat?"

"Nothing in particular. I'm not choosy in food," Heerin grinned.

"Auntie, 2 orders of kimchi, naengmyun, bulgogi and rice."

"You're really hungry~" Heerin chuckled.

"I told you...,” he laughed.”Please have a seat there first."

"Okay."

"Hey, young man...is that girl sitting there, your girlfriend?" asked the curious middle-aged woman handing the orders.

"Actually she's...uhm..." he stuttered.

"Don't let her go. I can see she's a kind girl," the said woman immediately cut in.

Donghae stared at Heerin, "She's very kind~"

"Enjoy your meal~"

"Kamsahamnida~" he thanked politely.

"Mmmm... smells good~" she uttered. "What did that lady said?"

"Oh, nothing," he denied.

"EHH~ then why are you blushing?" she blurted out, eating kimchi.

"Aish..."

"By chance, did she say she liked you?" Heerin said, innocently.

Donghae gulped. "Aniyo...She thinks you're kind."

"Ah...Of course, I'm kind!" she said proudly, sipping her cold noodles.

"Haha...You're so shallow~" Donghae poked her nose. "That's one reason why I like you~" his tongue slipped.

Heerin lifted her face up and looked at him directly. "Is it true?"

Thinking there is no way to deny it anymore, Donghae nodded. "I guess it can't be helped~"

"Are you sure?" she asked again. "I'm just normal and ordinary~"

"You're no ordinary girl, Heerin," he contrasted."It's not hard to like you~"

She turned speechless...her cheeks were burning. In her mind, she really liked him from the beginning and now that she heard those words, her heart beats even faster than before.

"Isn't that Lee Donghae?" a girl from a nearby table asked her friend. "Who could she be?"

The girl being asked looked around. It was Haneul...the mysterious girl.

"Han Heerin...that's her name," Haneul cocked an eyebrow, remembering her enemy from before. "She was the one who slapped me...the one I told you."

"Oh, meanie. How could she be flirting with an SJ member?"

"I know right. I'll show her, I'm meaner than she thought."

"What are you planning?"

"Secret...Just wait and see..."

"That's not right Haneul-ssi..."

************************************************************

"Donghae, I'll just go the comfort room. Looks like I've eaten so much..."

"Be back soon," he said smiling.

"I will," she excused and made her way to the C.R.

She just washed her hand and retouched, inside the comfort room.

"I'm so confused," she murmured.

"Annyeonghaseyo, Heerin-ssi," Haneul greeted sarcastically. "Long time no see."

"How have you been, Gossip girl?" she retorted, her mood swinging.

"You're not contented with Eunho, are you?"

Heerin closed the faucet and faced her. "Be careful with your words!"

"Why? AM I WRONG dongsaeng-ah?"

"I have no time for this..." she tried to walk out, but Haneul pulled her by the hair.

"I won't let you pass! You ruined my life!"

"WHAT'S wrong with what I did?" she gasped, pulling her hair back.

"You owe me many things~" Haneul pulled her hair even more and now, choking her.

"O-OUCH~ let me go!" Heerin cried. "Oppa~" she wanted to scream aloud, but she couldn't. Her voice was confined among the thick walls of the comfort room.

"She's taking too long..." Donghae looked at his watch worriedly, when he received a speed dial from Heerin. "This can't be~"

He rushed over to the C.R., located in the hidden corner of the fastfood, without hesitation. He bumped with Haneul but he did not recognize her until she said sorry to him.

"Heerin-ah~" he called out, ignoring Haneul and went directly inside.

"…Oppa…" she broke down coughing while seated on the floor.

"Who the hell did this to you?" he cursed as he assisted her up. "Malhaebwa..."

"...Haneul-ssi..."

"WHY?" Donghae' eyes were glaring. He can't accept the fact that he let her run away.

"Donghae...I'm scared~" she was trembling. "I wish I hadn't hurt her."

"You did it for your friends..."

Donghae felt sorry and all he could do is comfort her. He wiped her tears away and embraced her tightly.

"Heerin, I'm here...I'll never leave you~ Let's go back to the office~"

"Aniyo...I can't let them see me like this~"

"I understand. I'll take you home~"

Heerin looked at him for a moment. "...but you're needed there."

"Hush...You're more important to me~"

He gently combed her hair with his hand and fixed her nearly torn dress.

"I can't believe this is happening to me~" she thought.
