I stayed seated on the bed as foot steps came hurriedly up the stairs. My room door slammed open to reveal a livid looking Leeteuk.

Taemin bowed when his hyung's eyes narrowed in on him. Leeteuk ignored the gesture, "What's he doing here?"

"Well, we had to have a serious talk but it wasn't as serious as I thought it would be-"

"Get to the point, Sunmi." 

"I forgave him and we're friends again." I said quietly. He didn't care.

"Out, now." Leeteuk said pointing behind him and Taemin scurried out, without a look back.

"Leeteuk, please, let me explain." 

"Explain?  You probably should have said something last night before it blew up all over the internet!"

 "I didn't expect that to happen! Everything was so sudden!"

"No. It's not happening." Leeteuk said with firmness in his voice. I stood up in disbelief.

"Okay."

"Okay?"

"I'll let you see him." My eyes widened, "Sunmi, please don't let this result with me in prison. And I think you should tell him about Riko, just so he knows who is, what he's done and what he looks like." I nodded. "Actually, I'll talk to him myself." 

"Leeteuk, I can-"

"I think I need to. So he can have a better understanding of where I'm coming from." 

The tone in his voice meant it wasn't up for discussion. 

"Fine." I said with a sigh and went for the room door. "Do you want to tell them or are they outside of my room?"

Leeteuk smirked, "I'm sure they heard eve
