We arrived in Handel and Gretel. Minho wore his cap again. I took my shawl from my bag. “Wear it. Cover your face with it.”

We got out of the car and walked towards the coffee shop. “You, just go find an empty table. I’ll order for you. What do you want?”

Minho nodded obediently. “Latte, please.”

It was not as crowded as the last time I went here, yet I still considered this place crowded. Minho went to a table in the corner. He faced the wall instead of the other customers. I quickly ordered two cups of latte and approached him. “Here’s your coffee.”

“Thank you,” Minho warmly replied. “So, tell me, what you been doing these days?”

I stayed silent and sipped my latte.

“Ya, are you mad at me?” Minho patted my shoulder. “______-ah, come on, let’s just enjoy being here, no one knows me duh.” He dabbed my cheek and pinched it.

“Aaw Minho!” I shouted. Oups. OUPS. I nervously glanced at the people around us. Chillax, ______, chillax they didn’t hear you.

Minho glared at me. “Don’t shout my name out loud.”

I pouted.

“Hey, so what you been doing?”

“Uum,” I started. I couldn’t ignore him forever, right? “You know... School stuff. It keeps me busy. How about you? How was Japan?”

“School? Was it the reason why you woke up late this morning?”

I got shocked. “How did you know that?” Ah, embarrassed! >.<

Minho giggled. “Ye Eun was sorta mad when I called her. She told me that. Haha. So you woke up late cuz you were too busy with school stuff that you got so exhausted?”

“That’s not it...” Oups, wrong answer.

“Ah, did you, by any chance, secretly have a boyfriend and go out on a date with him until two in the morning?” Minho leaned in towards me. His eyes were staring straight at me, trying to find a hint of truth there.

This guy must have sixth sense! I nervously said, “Of course not! Now tell me, how was Japan? Did you buy something for me? Minho, if you didn’t, I’m so gonna smack you.”

Minho suddenly tickled me. “You’re changing the topic! You’re clearly hiding something from me!” He laughed evilly.

“Ah Minho... no, stop.” I helplessly laughed. I hated tickles. If jokes were my enemy, then tickles were far more than that. I strongly disliked it. “Minho, dude... Stop. OMG, hahahaha.”

Minho eventually stopped, after I ran out of breath and panted due to the non-stop laugh. What a torture.

“Oh dude,” I took a breath in. “I’m so gonna make you pay for what you just did.”

Minho messed up my hair again. “You’re so cute I feel like teasing you everyday.” He stuck his tongue out and winked. AAAAAAAAAH I JUST WANNA SHOUT NOW!

“I’m not kidding.”

Minho mocked me, “I’m not afraid~”

Ha, this guy. Unbelievable. “Come on Minho, let’s go,” I said, as I realized that people were glancing at us, probably because of the previous hysteric laugh of mine.

“Ah yah, wait until I finish my latte,” Minho said. I took a look at his cup. Not so much remaining coffee.

“Quickly.” I nodded as I gave him one last shot.

Five minutes later, his latte was finished. “Come on.”

Minho nagged, “Fifteen more minutes, ______! I wonder why anyone hasn’t recognized me yet!”

I stared at him in ultimate shock. “Are you waiting until they do? Minho, you! Aissh.” I quickly got up and walked outside the coffee shop, leaving him alone there.

I was halfway to reaching the sidewalk and stopping a cab, when someone shouted my name and grabbed my arm.

“You, don’t get mad so easily,” a y, deep voice whispered in my ear.

“I’m so done with you, Minho oppa. You keep teasing me and not listening to me today.” I sighed. I didn’t mean to get mad at him. The anger and annoyance I felt now... it wasn’t fully because of him. Without me wanting it, what Gaby said this morning kept bugging me. It stuck in my mind. And I was angry, because deep down I knew she was right. I would not stop contacting Jung Soo... but if only he was not Super Junior Leeteuk, if only he was another person, if only he was just an average man, if only he was someone like Minho... things would have been easier. I wouldn’t have had to stay late until 2 a.m. just to see him.

“Hey,” Minho’s voice brought me back to earth. “Mind to tell me what’s wrong?”

“Eh... how do you know that things aren’t...?” I couldn’t finish what I meant to say. This guy kept surprising me with his words.

Minho smiled, tucking some layers of hair behind my ear. “I start to understand you better each day.” He continued, “Come on, we’re going home for real now.”

While driving, Minho sympathetically glanced at me and said, “Share your thoughts with me whenever you feel like it, okay? I’m here to listen.” I just could reply him with a weak smile.

I was on Skype with Ye Eun, being scolded for not showing up at school today, when Krystal called me.

I furrowed my eyebrows. Krystal and I... We text a lot, we chat a lot via Skype, but we don’t usually talk on the phone. What’s up?

“Unnie!” Krystal cheerfully said. “Unnie, I saw your photos on the internet!” She giggled.

Really? She calling me for this? Haha, I seriously love Krystal. “Baby, are you stalking me on Facebook or my Twitpic account?”

Krystal laughed. “No unnie, just now I stumbled on some fan accounts. They took photos of you and Minho oppa at Yesung oppa’s new shop! You guys went there? Ah too bad I had early practice for SMTown Tokyo!”

HUH? HUH?! Excuse me but... “What are fan accounts? Krystal? Are you sure that it’s me that you saw on the pictures?”

“Fans tend to post their self taken pictures of idols on their blogs,” Krystal explained. “Don’t worry, unnie. The photos are blurry and they don’t write anything bad about you.”

They don’t write anything bad... but I still feel so worried. “Gimme the link, Krystal.”

She told me the web address and I quickly opened it. My heart beat fast.

I read through the page as soon as it finished loading.

	110811 Handel and Gretel – SHINee Minho & friend <13 P>

There were photos of us talking, drinking and leaving the coffee shop. It was blurry, though.

	SHINee Minho was spotted visiting Yesung’s Handel and Gretel in Yeoeuido-dong! He recently went back to Seoul from Japan. He was seen being accompanied by a friend, a foreign high school girl who is a close friend of his and also f(x) Krystal and daughter of top executive producer in SMEnt. Minho didn’t seem to want people to recognize him, that’s why we didn’t approach them and ask for his autograph, and just took candid photos instead.

Minho’s friend left first, and he quickly went out too. Not so long after that, Eunhyuk and Leeteuk, accompanied by their managers, came to Handel and Gretel! They were super handsome!!

Feel so lucky! I got to see many public figures tonight!!! :D

“Unnie,” Krystal said. “You didn’t meet Leeteuk oppa and Eunhyuk oppa there?”

Nah, I didn’t see them. Were they actually there? Did Jung Soo see me? “Nope. They came after I left, I guess.”

“What a pity!” Krystal exclaimed. “You guys should have met! Unnie don’t you like Leeteuk oppa?”

I awkwardly laughed, feeling so guilty. I had not told her what had happened between Jung Soo and me so far.

After saying goodbye and hanging up Krystal’s call, I continued reading the fan account. There were some comments of it.

	Kyaa~ Minho oppa still looks very handsome even in blurry photos!

Whooa, he visited Yesung’s coffee shop! SM Family JJANG!

Minho oppa, SaRangHae ♥ SaRangHae ♥ SaRangHae ♥ SaRangHae ♥

There was one particular comment that made my heart race:

Who is she? Is he really his friend?

But thankfully, the blog owner replied that with:

	Yup! I’m personally not a Shawol and don’t really follow SHINee, but my Shawol and affxtion friends said that she’s a good friend of Minho and Krystal. They were last seen hanging out together in Everysing, Gangnam-gu.

I heaved a relieved sigh. But creepy, seriously creepy. How did these people know my relationship with Minho and Krystal? They didn’t seem to know my name though, which was a good thing, but still it was creepy.

The next evening, I was walking to the kitchen when I heard Gaby’s happy scream from the living room. With curiosity I approached her. “What’s happening, Gab?”

She pointed at the TV. KBS Music Bank...?

“Whooa, is that Super Junior?!”

Gaby nodded. “They won today’s Mubank!!”

I watched as they were given the trophy. Jung Soo made a speech. He looked happy and kept smiling. Not to mention that he looked utterly handsome too. Should give him a call!

I waited until one hour later to finally phone him. He might not be so busy right now.

Jung Soo picked up the phone.

“Hi Leeteuk-ssi, I watched you just now on KBS! Congratu-”

Before I could finish my sentence, he hung up. Excuse me? He did what?!
