“That…” Jung Soo paused for a moment.

Knowing that he would never finish the sentence, I impatiently spoke up, “So Minho, Jung Soo is truly a boyfriend of mine.” I turned to Jung Soo and mouthed at him, “Minho is my bestie, I told ya.”

This was the only way to assure Jung Soo that I really didn’t have any special relationship with Minho. Confronting it right in front of his nose was the only way out now. Yes, even though it would somehow mess my friendship with Minho... and not to mention, Ye Eun and Krystal, when they found out about it, later. I sighed at that thought. Gaining Jung Soo’s trust was hella difficult.

If Jung Soo wasn’t precious enough for me, I wouldn’t even bother to go this far and make things complicated, risk my friendship, just to get him right.

“But...,” Minho said in disbelief. “Jung Soo hyung, why aren’t you saying anything?!” He rubbed the back of his neck furiously, confused.

I was guilty for making Minho confused like this. What kind of friend I was, really? Popping out in front of him just like that and telling him that I had been dating his hyung like a boss... First, I should have shared it to him since the beginning. He had always trusted me, he was always a good friend of mine. But what did I do? If I didn’t need to let Jung Soo know the reality, I would not have said it to Minho. I felt so bad right now for using him.

Jung Soo sighed, looking at the ground. “I can’t say it here. Follow me.” Then he walked away just like that.

Minho quickly went too. Quickened his steps so he could walk side by side to Jung Soo. Unsure, I followed them both from behind.

On my way, I saw Heechul standing under one of the white tents with Sungmin and Kyuhyun. Yesung was nowhere to see. He signaled me to go there, but I pointed at the two men in front of me, mouthing him, “I gotta do something now.” He gave me a smile and slightly nodded.

Jung Soo, Minho and I came inside the tunnel. Finding a hidden spot there, Jung Soo, who was refusing to look at me, said to Minho, “She is right.” Wait, I couldn’t believe my ears. “We are in a relationship.” He sounded so firm... and dominant... and protective. I repeat, protective.

Minho’s and my jaws dropped instantly. I couldn’t believe it. I thought he was going to say that I was just being delusional.

But he even sounded protective.

“I’m sorry but what? ______-ah,” Minho looked at me in the eyes. “Wow. Wow.” He didn’t seem amused. I could understand, though. Then he faced Jung Soo and stared at the older man. “Hyung, are you guys even sure of this relationship? I mean like, come on! What will other people say, hyung? Can you even protect her from the harsh media, when they find it out?!”

Minho said it all in a caring manner. The words were rude, but I knew he had kind purpose. He was just... shocked. And for someone who just got shocked, the things he said could be considered as humane enough.

But that was what I thought. Jung Soo clearly didn’t have the same as mine. His body stiffened. His facial expression hardened. “Do you think that I am unwise, Choi Minho? Do you think that I do not waste hours to literally think about it? Just be a good friend to my girlfriend and stay away of our relationship.”

That was really rude of Jung Soo. I couldn’t breathe properly after hearing that.

Minho scowled. “Ha, can’t chill, hyung? ______-ah, you owe me big, big explanation.” And then he left the two of us.

Afraid of what Jung Soo would say to me, I stayed silent.

I heard him sighing. “What was that for?” He emotionlessly asked.

I was surprised because well, at least, Jung Soo didn’t sound so mad. “You won’t believe anything I said until I made it clear to you that he was just a friend and you... you are my boyfriend.” I continued desperately, “What did you see? What made you think that I was... having affair with your own dongsaeng? My bestie?”

I stared at him, waiting for him to talk in nervousness. And Jung Soo, with watery eyes, slowly opened his mouth, revealing the mystery I had always wanted to know, "That morning. You, Minho, Woohyun... Didn't you realize, that time, that your boyfriend was me, not Minho!"

Oh. That was it.

I was glad because he finally opened it up to me.

However, I hated it. I hated it when he raised his voice. Not that I was afraid of him, but I loathed this side of Jung Soo.

Breathe in, 1, 2, 3, breathe out. Breathe in, 1, 2, 3, breathe out... "He was joking. Woohyun was sorta, SORTA, flirting with me."

"Tsk. It didn't make any difference! Joking or not, he already put his arm on your waist, acting as if he was your boyfriend!"

I wanted to explode, not in a good way. Jung Soo was insane. His mind was full of imagination, seriously. "The problem here is not Minho, the only problem is you. If you can't put some trust in me, then what you said before it all began was right. We won't make it. It won't work out. Jeez, we haven't even been together for at least two weeks! Why are you making it so hard for both of us? You don't believe in me! Let's just be honest right now. I don't want to end it... but do you?"

"I don't want to end it too!" Jung Soo shouted at me. "As much as I love you, I also hate the fact that you are close to other guys. Someone who isn't even me!"

That was sweet. His words were. But again, with Jung Soo, hhh... he had this ability to make even Willy Wonka's chocolate taste bitter. It was wrong. The way he conveyed his meaning... It was wrong.

And I hated myself for being able to see that behind his rough actions, he had very kind intentions. I hated myself for forgiving him over and over again. I hated myself for loving him too much that I didn't mind if he kept shouting at me, as long as there was still communication between us.

I was being too easy and it was disgusting in a way.

It wasn't even my fault at all, but I had to apologize to him. And I didn't bother to do that.

Some might see me as a pathetic, desperate douchbag. But I called it protecting what was important for my life.

I leaned towards Jung Soo and gave him a warm hug. "I love you too, you just have to trust me more." I almost cried. My voice was trembling.

Jung Soo returned my hug. "I would... I would have trusted you more... if you didn't let other boys come close to you."

"Which boys, it was only Minho...," I whispered.

"But there will be other boys..."

I broke the hug and stared at his beautiful, tired eyes. "Yes, there will be. There will be other boys, there also will be other girls. But you have to remember, what matters most is us. I choose to trust you, trust us. How about you?"

"You are so naive," Jung Soo said. "You know I will choose to trust you too. But you have to remember," he repeated my words. "We can never be sure about the future. You think you can live without me, but don't you see it? You had lived for eighteen years before you knew me. And you were perfectly fine." How many times has he said 'We can't be so sure about the future'? I should start making a list.

"Are you saying that you will be fine without me?"

"Haha," Jung Soo chuckled. "Do you really have to ask me that, babe?"

"'Babe'," I repeated. "You called me babe. Does it mean we're cool now?" I asked him with puppy eyes on. "Or you're just being friendly?"

"Uum," Jung Soo pretended to think seriously. "We're cool. 75% cool. Let's say we're in the middle of a truce."

I scowled. "Is there such thing in a romantic relationship?! Jung Soo-ssi! We are a couple, not North and South Korea!"

Jung Soo flashed a boyish grin and embraced my waist. "I miss you. But I can't fully forgive you just yet because you naughty naughty~" He leaned towards me, biting my nose gently. OUCH. THE PRECIOUSLY INSANE BOYFRIEND OF MINE. OUCH!

"YOU BIT MY NOSE!!!" I squealed in exaggerated pain.

Jung Soo let out a chuckle and winked at me. "Hey! I'm Mr. Simple!" He literally sang his line in the song, continuing the precious sentence he said before biting my nose.

I laughed all of a sudden. He gave me weird look, questioning what the laughter was for. I chose to explain, "It's an ironic thing that you got that particular line. You aren't simple, not at all."

Jung Soo nodded and smiled. "I know right? I should have said 'Hey! I'm Mr. Dimple!'" He once again smiled, showing the cute dimple of his.

asdfghjkl;;;;;; somebody hold me;;;;;;;

"Baby goodnight~ Baby goodnight~ Baby goodnight~ Baby goodnight~" G-Dragon's voice suddenly shocked both me and Jung Soo. Oups, that's my ringtone.

I pulled out my phone from my bag and saw the caller ID. "Wait, I gotta receive this."

As I pressed the button and brought the phone closer to my ear, something quickly grabbed it away from my grip. I looked up only to see Jung Soo looking at my phone screen, pouting. "Heechul-ah! Why are you calling my girlfriend?!" I couldn't hear what Heechul answered on the phone but whatever it was, it only made Jung Soo pout more. "NO YOU CAN'T!!!" And he hung it up.

The heck?

"That was rude."

"What was rude?" Jung Soo's eyes widened. Is he kidding me?

"Just forget it." I was not in the right mood to argue with this kid. "I think I better get going. Heechul oppa must be looking for me."

Jung Soo disagreed. "Don't. I will drive you home."

"Yeah right... No."

"Why not?!" Jung Soo frowned. "And anyway, why is GD&TOP's song your ringtone?!"

I let out a sigh before replying him. "Referring to your first question; because I don't want to go home with you. I went here with Heechul and Yesung, I will go home with them. To your second question; because I found this song very nice."

"Nicer than my Mr. Simple?"

I rolled my eyes. Is he gonna start another argument out of simple matter or is he just joking, I don't know anymore... "I don't know Jung Soo-ssi, I should go now." I took my phone from his hand and slowly left.

I am really happy that Jung Soo is not my main problem right now.

But another thing gives me headache.

Minho.

How am I supposed to explain all to him...?

I bitterly thought.
