“Can I give you a ride home?" a guy asked.

______ eyed him suspiciously.

“Oh, don’t worry I’m not some psycho trying to kidnap.” He said showing her his ID cards. “I’m Hong JinTaek, the manager of the 4minute girls.”

“Really?! You look so young!” she said staring at him in disbelief. ‘…and handsome…Whoa!’

“I get that a lot. You can trust me. Jihyun called me.”

She thought about it for a moment but got into the car.

“I’m sorry, I’m going to dirty your car.”

“It’s alright. The car can be cleaned. Well, we might as well make conversation on the way to your house. So I have heard a lot about your singing.”

“Oh, did B2ST and 4minute tell you?”

“Mhm… Yoseob, Kikwang and Hyuna talk about you a lot.”

“They do?”

“Mhm, did you ever consider doing it as a profession?”

“I thought about it when I was little, but I never wanted to get my hopes up.”

“Well you should audition.”

They talked all the way to her house.

“Thanks for the ride.” ______ said getting out of the car.

“Give me a call, if you ever decide to take that chance.” He said handing her his card.

She bowed to him.

“I will, thanks again.” She said.

She turned around and saw the Kim twins standing at the front door.

“Yah! Why are you coming home with some strange guy? Why the hell are you all sticky?”

“Why is there some strange guy standing next to my best friend at my house?” ______ asked.

“Good one.” Minhee laughed. “Yah, Unnie, who was that hottie that just drove off? He was fiiiiine!~ y even!~”

“Yah! Answer my question first!”

“That was, Hong Jintaek, 4 minute’s manager.” She said simply. “Let’s go inside, I need to take a quick shower.”

After ______ cleaned up the three were sitting in her room talking about the events of that day.

“He asked you to audition?! You’re going to it, right?” Minhee asked looking at the business card.

“I thought about it, but if I did that just adds fuel to the burning hate fire that the anti-fans have ignited.” ______ said.

“How do you figure that?”

“They already think that I’m using Yoseob Oppa, to gain popularity. They think I’m dating him to become famous and I’m not!”

“Yah, Song ______, don’t give up on your dream just because of him!”

“Am I supposed to let him give up on his career just for me?! I won’t let that happen!!”

Yoseob showed up at her house and didn’t even take the time to catch his breath before he rang the doorbell.

 Munhee answered the door and scoffed.

“Oh it’s you.”

“Yah, where is ______?”

“Oh, so you actually care?”

Munhee crossed his arms and blocked the doorway.

“Of course I care!! She’s MY girlfriend!”

“Yeah well you aren’t doing that boyfriend job very well, are you?!”

“Excuse me, so I can go see my girlfriend.”

“I don’t think so…”

“MOVE!” Yoseob snapped.

“This is YOUR entire fault you know?!” Munhee snapped.

He stepped out of the house and closed the door behind him.

Yoseob glared at him.

“W-WHAT?!”

“You think that this isn’t about you?! The fact that ______ is dating a famous idol is what’s causing all of this. Shouldn’t you man up and do something about it?! Now it’s getting out of hand! When I was dating ______, I never would have let her be publicly humiliated like this.”

Yoseob rolled his eyes and scoffed.

"Okay, since you’re so convinced that YOU were the better boyfriend; tell me...why did you and ______ break up?"

"Is that any of your business?!" Munhee snapped. "That is between her and me."

"You are making it my business by butting into MY relationship with ______! That is just NOT okay with me!"

“Maybe you feel threatened by me. The great Yang Yoseob is feeling threatened by a little commoner like Kim Munhee?”

“Let me see her!”

“Why would I?!”

Suddenly the door opened and ______ stepped out.

“Yah! What is going on out here? Why are you so loud?”

She looked between the two screaming guy.

“______-ah!~ Are you okay?” Yoseob asked shoving passed Munhee.

“Yeah, I’m okay Oppa. So, I’m guessing, they told you?”

“Don’t be mad at the girls, they were worried about you.”

“It’s okay, I’m not mad at them.” She said with a smile. "Oppa?"

Yoseob reached out to wipe her tears.

"______-ah, why didn't you just tell me?"

"See? I told you, you should have!" Munhee chimed in.

"Yah, Oppa, you may think that you're helping but you're just putting more stress on the situation." Minhee snapped and jabbed Munhee in the ribs with her elbow.

He just glared at her.

"What is this 'situation' exactly? I want to know." Yoseob said softly.

"You already have enough in front of you, Oppa. You don't need the drama..."

"______-ah...I-I love you."

"What?!" ______ and Munhee said in unison.

Minhee just gasped and slapped her hand over .

"I mean it...I love you. I have been falling for you since we started talking. ______-ah, I'm your boyfriend."

"I think that you can do much better than me, in the girlfriend department."

"I doubt that..." Munhee muttered.

“Kim Munhee, stay out of this!” ______ snapped. "Yoseob Oppa, you're an idol. There are a lot of girls to choose from."

"Yeah, maybe there are…but there’s one problem with that.”

“What’s that?” she asked curiously.

“They just aren't you.”

 “Yah, dude just take a hint…she’s dumping you.”

“What part of ‘stay out of this’ didn’t you hear?” Yoseob growled. “I’m already in a bad mood and this guy always makes it worse.”

“Like-wise.”

Yoseob turned to Munhee.

“What did I do, do piss you off so much?”

“What did I do?” Munhee shot back.

“Where should I start?!”

“Yah! Stop it! You’re attracting attention!” ______ said when she noticed random people stopping to look at them.

______ went over to the guys and pushed them apart.

Minhee and ______ pulled them into the house so they could get away from the onlookers.

“I say, we just, let them look.”

“Kim Munhee, that’s easy for you to say! You’re not the one that will get caught up in a scandal! It’s Yoseob Oppa!!” ______ scolded. “We have enough anti-fans as it is!”

Yoseob looked at her.

"Well it's not him with the anti-fans is it? You're the one that's suffering here! You still smell like a berry smoothie."

"Yah! Why are you smelling her anyway?! Stay in your own personal space!" Yoseob said pushing Munhee away from ______.

"STOP!~ Let's just stop this! All of it!" she snapped.

“Is it true, you’re dumping me?”

“No, I wasn’t going to.”

“But you are now?!” Yoseob whimpered. ‘I tell her that I love her and she wants to break up with me?’

“I don’t care what they do to me!” ______ said. “I can handle it. It’s just a smoothie and angry words. I don’t care.”

“I do care!” Yoseob snapped. “You are my girlfriend and I’m your boyfriend! As the boyfriend, I should do a better job of protecting my girlfriend. I care about that. I care about YOU!”

“What I care about is YOU losing everything you worked so hard to earn!! I don’t want you to risk all of that for me!”
