My heart… I thought it will come out of my mouth! I… I couldn’t breathe. I can’t move an inch of my body. My jaw dropped. I kept staring at him.

My eyes and throat are burning. Every cell in my body is screaming for oxygen. But I just can’t breathe.

He exhaled loudly. “Wow. It’s really hard, isn’t it?

Yes you heard it! No you’re not dreaming. You want me to punch you?”

“But Jonghoon; how did you know about this? I didn’t tell you nah!”

“Hongki~ah, how long we’ve been together? There’s no need for you to tell us everything. We can understand from your strange behavior.” Jonghoon replied.

“Nae hyung. At first we thought you were sick because of your mood swings. You even forgot the lyrics, remember?” it was Jaejin.

“And uri Sherlock Holmes here spied on you for last two weeks.” Minhwan said patting Seunghyun’s shoulder.

“Yah! You spied on me? How could you Song Seunghyun! You ert!”

What? Hongki is angry about this?!

Seunghyun smiled and nodded. Can’t he see that Hongki is mad? Is he taking this as a joke?

“Nae hyung. I secretly followed you. Everywhere you go.”

“You! Get out of my sight before I kill you!” Hongki screamed.

We were all shocked. Why is he angry about this? It’s a joke. He should laugh at this, not threaten to kill Seunghyun!

I glanced at Seunghyun. His smile faded.

“Yah! Lee Hongki!” Both Jonghoon and I shouted.

“Why are you shouting at him? You have no right to do that! You shouldn’t shout at him for something like that, dammit. You should laugh for that. Threatening to kill him! It’s like you really meant it! You shouldn’t talk to your brother like that, you jerk!” Jonghoon shouted. His eyes are burning with rage.

“And who are YOU to tell that?” Hongki stood up.

“I am the leader of this band. And what I just said is not a request. That’s an order. Now apologize to him!”

“Leader my ! I’m older than you. I don’t take orders from you.” Hongki shouted and walked fast to his room, and slammed the door.

“Yah, Lee Hongki.” Jonghoon shouted and followed him.
