L yanked Hoya’s hands away and left the room.

“I’ll go and calm him,” Sungjong said and left. You cried silently. Dongjoon went next to you and hugged you.

“Just ignore him, ~~. He’s just so worried about you,” Dongwoo said to you.

“Ani, L oppa was right. I was being selfish. I should’ve discussed it with you,” you said with your head down. Dongjoon held you tighter. At that moment, Sunggyu and Heechul arrived.

“What’s up with L?” asked Heechul.

“He’s just upset. He’ll be okay,” answered Woohyun. Sunggyu went towards you and gave you a hug.

“Are you okay?” he asked softly when he saw your teary eyes. You nodded slowly. He sat next to you and stared into your eyes. “~~-ah, I’m begging you, next time, please tell us everything. We can’t stand seeing you like this. If you really care about us, let us know whenever those stupid es threaten you. Can you do that?”

You looked at him. “Arasseo, oppa. Mianhae.” You managed to say. Sunggyu nodded. L came back in.

“We’ll leave you two alone,” said Sunggyu. Dongjoon gave you a final hug before he left with the others. L sat next to you. He took your hands and grasped them tightly.

“Mianhae, oppa. I promise I won’t do it again. Cheongmal mianhae,” you said between your sobs.

He hugged you. “Nado mianhae, for shouting at you just now. I’m so worried about you. I don’t want to lose you. I’ve lost my parents when I was at young age. I don’t want to lose anymore person that I cared about,” he said. He was also crying. He cupped your face with his hand and wiped your tears. You did the same to him. “Geundae, do you want to know who worried about you the most?” he asked with a smile.

“It’s not you?” you asked him back. He shook his head.

“Aniya. It’s Dongjoon,” L told you. Your eyes widened.

“Dongjoon oppa? It can’t be. Why would he worry about me?”

“You didn’t know? He didn’t tell you?” he asked.

“Tell me what?”

“Aish, that jerk. He told us he wants to confess to you.” You froze at the word ‘confess’.

“Con…confess?” you asked.

“He loves you, sis. He falls in love with you when he first saw you,” L answered while ruffling your hair.

Then it hit you. His visit at your house, his questions about you, his caring ness towards you, everything. You could only stare at L. he smiled.

“Oppa, what should I do?” you asked stupidly. He laughed.

“What do you mean? Haven’t you fallen in love before?” You shook your head. “Aigoo, my dongsaeng and her innocence. Do you think you have feelings towards him?” You nooded. “Then, tell him. He’ll be happy to accept your feelings,” L finished his words.

“How can I tell him without embarrassing myself?” you asked. L stood up.

“Just be natural. I’ll tell him to come in,” he said. Before you could stop him, he already disappeared. You gulped. Then, dongjoon came in. He sat on the chair next to your bed.

“L told me you want to see me. What’s wrong?” he asked. You took a deep breath.

“Actually, I do have something to tell you,” you said slowly. Dongjoon waited for you to continue. “Oppa, actually…I…I…urm…I just want to tell you that…I…I like you…I mean…I love you,” you forced yourself to say the words. You quickly covered your face with your hands.

Slowly, Dongjoon pulled your hands away from your face. You looked at him, and saw him looking at you with a broad smile on his face. “Komawo, ~~-ah. I’ve been waiting for you to say those words. I love you too,” he said and hugged you as though he never wanted to let you go. You hugged him back.

Outside your room, Sungyeol was peeking through the glass on the door. “They’re hugging each other!” he said happily. Everyone took turns to look through the glass. Each of them was smiling.
