Chapter Four

Minho

Just as I was about to leave the bookstore, my phone rang. I picked it up. "Hello?"

It was Onew. "Minho, you and Taemin are really late for the party! Where in the world are you two?! Are you with Taemin right now?"

"No, I'm not with him, Onew." I whispered, so that the girl wouldn't hear me. "But I'm coming soon. Gotta go now. See you soon." I ended the call and was about to go when I heard the girl talk with the cashier.

"Um. . . I don't seem to have enough money. I'm $1 off. . . so, yeah. I guess I can't buy it." the girl said sadly.

I sighed. I am not going to give in to a cute girl just because she is out of money, I promised to myself. However, I couldn't help it.

I handed the girl a dollar. "Here."

She looked at me, surprised that I was still here. "What?"

I sighed. "Just take the money, miss."

She gasped and put her hands in front of her. "Oh, no, no! I'm fine! You don't have to-"

I folded up the bill and grabbed her arm, stuffing the bill in her hand. "You're welcome." I said.

She began to protest, but I walked off quickly. I had a party to attend to. And I was impossibly late for it.
