Hyesung's P.O.V.


"Let's go eat something, I'm hungry and I want to talk to you." Jae told me after classes and I nodded. "Bye Jin." Jae said to our classmate and I waved at the smiling Jin behind me before we walked out of the classroom.

"Hey Yunho." Jae said smiling. He looked like he knew why Yunho was here, in front of our classroom.

"Hi." I greeted him as well. "What are you doing here?"

"Waiting for me." Jin said appearing behind us, then walked over to Yunho, smiled and kissed him lightly. I widened my eyes a bit, but JaeJoong chuckled.

"You haven't told me good news." Jae raised his eyebrow at Yunho, pretending to be hurt.

"I didn't have time." Yunho grinned, putting his arm around Jin's waist.

"You know Yunho, Jae and I are always the first to know." I started.

"Or at least should be." Jae added.

"Oh god..." Jin shook his head laughing. "I guess not when it comes to our relationship."

"Well, okay, I'm..." Jae started, than looked at me. "We're happy for you." I nodded.

"Have fun guys." I smiled, dragging Jae away from them as they waved. I looked at my friend as soon as we walked out of the building.

"I didn't know they liked each other." I smiled.

"I did." Jae replied. "I'm really happy for them, Yunho and I talked about it. I think he finally found the right person for him. And I should know." He gave me a knowing look. I chuckled.

"Of course. Well, at least something is great around here." I said as we walked into the small restaurant we liked to eat in from time to time.

We took a seat and ordered before I turned to JaeJoong.

"Okay, now what's that you wanted to talk to me about?" I asked.

"I think I like Minwoo." He said quietly. I didn't expect him to admit it that easily, but I was glad he did.


JaeJoong's P.O.V.


"Alright." He nodded. I raised my eyebrows.

"Alright? That's all you have to say?" I asked, slightly surprised.

"Well, I really don't think it's a big surprise. You lasted a lot longer then most of his previous..." he paused, obviously thinking how to call those guys that liked him in the past. "... love interests. Take me for example. I lasted about a month. We did know each other before and all, but when he started paying more attention to me it took him about a month to get me. You've been running away from him for how long now? About five months? That must be a record for Lee Minwoo. To wait for such a long time." He chuckled.

"I don't know what to do." I said. "I don't trust him."

"Maybe you should." Hyesung replied, starting to eat. "I realized something. There was a lot of hints he was giving me after the breakup. He never said it, but now I know that everything he did and everything I did was somewhat planned. He knows me really well, he knows how I work. I know why he broke up with me."

"Why? Because of me?" I asked. Sungie understood Minwoo? Well, that was first.

"No, you're just a part of the reason." He replied. "My relationship with Minwoo wasn't as good as I wanted it to be. I wanted to convince myself that everything is fine and I succeeded in it. That's why I was so hurt when we broke up. I held onto Minwoo because I wanted to save myself from getting hurt. That was really stupid of me. And Minwoo knew it. So, he made me face it, that whole situation - getting hurt, realizing my true feelings, doing the right thing for once."

"I don't get you." I said. He couldn't be talking about Dongwan. Minwoo wasn't that kind of a person, this was just... too good to be true.

"Minwoo practically threw me into Wannie's arms, Jae. Don't you get it?" he smiled.

"How can you be so sure?" I asked. "It just seems so unbelievable."

"I'm sure. And it's not unbelievable, Minwoo is like that. I know him, a lot better now then before." He replied nodding. "I think you should let go already. Give in."

It's easier to say it then do it.


Junsu's P.O.V.


"Can you please get out?" I heard Changmin as he finally stopped banging on the bathroom door.

I opened the door and stepped out of the bathroom and he quickly went in, muttering a sarcastic 'thank you'. I went to the closet and took some clean shirt and jeans, getting dressed.

"What is wrong with you?" Changmin asked as soon as he came out of the bathroom and sat down on his bed.

"What do you mean?" I asked back, not looking at him as I took my bag and started putting books in it.

"You're acting strange." He said simply, but I wasn't sure if he really meant to say that or was it something else. He seemed to feel uneasy as he didn't look at me, but just shrugged and waited for me to reply.

"How come?" I asked, only glancing at him and then back at my bag.

"You're... quiet."

"You'd prefer me fighting with you?" I asked then. Stupid Junsu. Why using that word? Prefer. Who cares what he prefers? If only I didn't...


Changmin's P.O.V.


I bit my lip, looking down. The way he said it, that... angry tone, sarcasm dripping from it. It hurt. Why did I even start this conversation?

"No." I said standing up, grabbing my stuff and leaving the room. It was impossible talking to him now. I started wondering if it was all pointless. Stupid Min. I knew it was. But I just couldn't help but keep trying.


Yunho's P.O.V.


Junjin gave me one more kiss before pulling away and I smiled, already reaching for the doorknob, ready to enter my room.

"We're going out later?" he asked and I nodded.

"Yeah." I replied. "We'll come get you guys." I replied, thinking about my plan. It wasn't really that much of a plan, Junjin and I just thought it was about time to help our friends out a bit.

Jin gave me one more smile and then happily skipped to his own room. I watched him for a moment and then walked in.

"Hey." Eric was sitting on his bed, going through the script. I knew he was reading the scene we were supposed to film in a couple of days. It seemed like all he did these days was work, but I couldn�t blame him. If someone rejected me in a way Yoochun rejected Eric I'd focus on work too. Keep mind off it.

"How're you doing?" I asked, instantly regretting the question.

"Fine." He shrugged. "I have a bit of trouble memorizing this." He said, although I knew that he already memorized it all. He just kept being unfocused on some parts and it drove him crazy. I could understand that.

"Don't you think you should relax a bit?" I asked again. "Stop working, get some rest, you already know it all."

"Nah... I'm fine." He shrugged again, keeping his eyes on the paper in front of him. I watched him for a couple of moments, then walked to the closet, picking the shirt I was gonna wear that night. I turned to Eric again.

"Do you want to go out with us tonight?" I asked.

"I don't feel like it."

"Well, then... why don't you spend some time with Changmin?" I tried again.

"I have stuff to do." He replied pointing to the script.

"I already told you it's alright, you know it and I think you really should get some rest." I pushed him again.

"And I already told you I'm fine." He said finally looking up from the script.

"No, you..."

"Yunho, stop." He interrupted me. "I'm okay, I just need some time alone and I really need to get this done. I don't want to go out and I don't want to meet people and I just... can we drop this?" he really seemed upset, so I took a step back and nodded. He grabbed the script again and buried his face in it. I sighed and walked into the bathroom.

There was no way I could help him. I could just sit and watch him heal. No matter how much it made me feel awful.


Dongwan's P.O.V.


It was rare for me to be alone. If I wasn't in classes or working with Eric, Yunho or Minwoo I had Hyesung by my side. But today they all ditched me and I was left alone. With my thoughts. I walked out of my room, deciding to take a walk. It was pretty cold outside and I didn't think I'll run into some of my friends, but I couldn't help but smile as I saw Changmin sitting on a bench not so far away.

"Hey Min." I greeted him as I walked up to him. He looked up at me, slightly startled.

"Hi Wannie." He replied quickly.

"Did I interrupt you?" I asked. He was deep in his thoughts, I could tell. I felt slightly uncomfortable for interrupting his alone time, but he just smiled, shook his head and moved a bit, for me to sit next to him. I smiled, looking at him. "What's up?"

"Nothing." He shrugged. "How's the movie going?"

"Good." I nodded. "I can't complain."

"That's good." Changmin smiled. "How's Hyesung?"

"You know, as always." I smiled, thinking about Sungie. "Are you alright? You seem so... far away today. Is my brother troubling you again?" I joked.

"I'm okay." Changmin frowned slightly. "N-no... well..." he sighed then and I got serious as I realized I hit the spot there.

"What's going on Min?" I asked. "I don't mean to in..." I trailed off. He seemed so upset all of the sudden.

"No, it's okay, you can ask." He replied. "I just... I don't know what's going on." He sighed slightly desperately and looked down. I widened my eyes as I saw him actually holding back his tears.

"Min..." I started.

"I don't know Wannie... I just feel so empty." He said, swallowing hard and looking up, ahead of him. "I can't take it anymore. He's been avoiding me ever since we came back from winter break. He doesn't talk, we don't fight... it's not like I miss our fights, but at least we communicated then. Now we just live like two strangers, sleeping in the same room, going to classes together, practicing after classes. Then he goes clubbing and I just go to bed... every day is the same. He doesn't even look at me anymore." He said.

He had this look on his face... like he was finally given an opportunity to let it all out. I stared at him as tears started pouring out of his eyes, not believing what I was seeing. The scary thing was that he looked like his whole world crushed, he was well aware of it and he was slowly breaking down. He looked like he didn't know he was crying and I began to wonder if this happened to him a lot. He was so calm, desperate and... beautiful. He wasn't a baby, he was so far from it. I realized I had no idea what was going on, just like I didn't know Shim Changmin well, I didn't know him at all. And here, he was pouring his soul out to me.

I didn't say a thing. We sat in silence, Changmin's tears slowly traced his cheeks until they softly fell down on the cold snow, mixing with it, instantly making it look like they were never there in the first place. I sighed silently, making sure not to interrupt the peaceful moment. Changmin cried like that, peacefully, silently, as if trying not to disturb anyone around him. I felt sorry, I felt hurt myself, I felt bad. But I also felt comfortable, his tears, his pain didn't make me feel uncomfortable.

He needed someone, he needed someone to listen to him, to just be there. Finally, to take care of him. I was just there at that moment when he decided to break down just a bit. To let out those tears he's been holding back. He needed that and I was just there. This time. A bit of tears, a bit of sorrow he let himself show... it was nothing, but it didn't surprise me. Afterall, I wasn't the right person for this role.
