Sulli’s POV

I arrived to the given address, and pressed the bell door. A few seconds, I saw Minho stepped out and asked me coming inside. I felt awkward when I realized no one else but only I was in his house. I thought it would be a birthday party, but it didn’t look like a party. It supposed to have many people in a birthday party. There’s a silence between us, no one dared to speak out first.

-          Um … my parents were away for some business – Minho oppa said while scratching his neck

-          I … I thought there would be many people in your party. – I uttered

-          Actually I will have a party with my friends at tonight. I wonder if I should ask you come along. But I realize you must feel uncomfortable because you didn’t know any of my friends. – Minho oppa said

-          Um … - I mumbled shyly

-          Don’t get it wrong. I just want to have a meal with you, and listen you say happy birthday to me – Minho oppa waved his hands in front of my eyes

-          I know, ah … here … A birthday cake I made it – I handed it to him

-          Wow, really? You made it – he smiled happily

-          Yes, it’s not really beautiful, but I hope you won’t mind it – I said

-          No, thank you very much. Will we eat something, and enjoy this cake later? – he suggested

I nodded my head, and he showed me his messy kitchen. Minho oppa told me he wanted to cook something for us, but it’s the first time he cooked. So he totally messed the kitchen up. I gave a small laughter, and asked him let me help him. Then we cooked together. Since it’s his birthday, and special meal for birthday should be seaweed soup and some dishes. We decided to cook seaweed seafood soup, because I wanted to make something more different than the one that we usually had in meals. After 1 hour, it’s done. We were talking while having the meal together. I felt happy since I could do something for Minho oppa. To me, he was really like my brother, although we’re not blood-related. Whenever I felt down, and depressed, he would come, and comfort me.

After having meal, we started to clean up the table, and kitchen. While I was holding a bowl of soup which still had a little left, he took it away from me. He said I should let him clean it up alone. But I wanted to help him, I took it back, and he took it back to him again. Unfortunately, we pull the bowl back and forth too hard, it made the soup in the bowl spilt it on my t-shirt.

-          OMG, I’m so sorry – Minho oppa said while looking around to find something to wipe it off

-          It’s okay. But I smell like seafood – I giggled  

-          Let have a shower, I’ll bring you some clothes – he pushed me into his bathroom

-          It’s fine, oppa. I can take a shower at my home – I tried to refuse it

Finally, I lost. He gave me his t-shirt which was a lot bigger than me. I felt embarrassed when taking a shower at someone’s house. It’s even more awkward since it’s a boy’s house. We’re just friends, not a couple or something. I took a quick shower and wore the clothes that he gave. It’s funny to wear an over-size t-shirt like this. I looked like a clown. I stepped out the bathroom, and saw Minho oppa was cleaning the dish alone. I rushed to him and helped him put them into the cabinet.

Minho’s POV

I felt my cheek heating up as seeing Sulli was in my t-shirt. I found it’s kind of cute. I felt like we’re really a couple. We had meal, clean the dish together. I couldn’t hide the happiness for having her around me. I thought what if we become a real couple. We looked good together. Recently, I realized my feelings towards Sulli, was not just a friend to friend. I wanted our relationship to move up into a next stage. More than friendship, was love. Sulli told me she needed to be home before 6. It’s almost 6. So she must back home. I bid a good-bye to her

-          Oppa, happy birthday – she said and winked cutely

I felt like sad a little bit, since we needed to say good-bye. I wanted to stay with her longer. I thought I was gonna miss her so much. I couldn’t wait to see her at school. Without thinking, I placed a kiss on her forehead, which made her frozen. We both got blush

-          Um … I just want to say thank you – I scratched my head awkwardly

-          So , good bye, oppa – I smiled shyly with her blushing cheek.

When we turned our heads towards the gate, I saw Taemin watching us silently. His gaze showed anger, he closed his fist tightly, bit his lips hard until its bleeding. He stood still, said nothing. I found it’s scared when Taemin reacted like this. He didn’t look like himself. He was a hot-temper kid, so as usual he would yell or scream at me, even punched me. But now, he was unpredictable. He looked hurt, yet angry, however, he did nothing, just stared at us with his miserable eyes. I turned my eyes on Sulli, she’s the verge of crying. Her hands intertwined together while trembling hard. She looked at Taemin like she wanted to say something to him. Surprisingly, Taemin turned away and dashed off. He said nothing, but left away. She was about to run after her, but I hugged her back. I didn’t know why but I didn’t want her back to Taemin. She tried to struggle to out of my embrace

-          Oppa, Taemin … he looks so miserable. I think I did hurt him. – Sulli said while crying

-          I know – I uttered

-          I’ve never seen those eyes of him. He got hurt, indeed. I feel so hurt when he looks at me like that. What should I do now, Oppa? I miss him, I love him  a lot. I want to be back with him like before – Sulli kneeled down on the ground and sobbed hard

Nobody’s POV

He just left like this, he was too hurt to say anything. He was like a dull one, who kept walking around and around clueless. He walked past the park where he confessed to Sulli. He recalled it like it’s just yesterday. Right here, he confessed to her, went crazy about happiness when she said she liked him, and their first kiss. It’s too beautiful, and too soft. But now, her lips weren’t for him anymore. He wanted to forget everything of them. He wanted to delete her from his life right away. He thought everyone would forget anything they wanted to forget, when they’re drunk. He decided to be drunk to stop thinking about Sulli. He drank a lot, he kept walking swagger while drinking alcohol.
