______ was backstage at Mnet.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself i  preparation for M Countdown.

"Are you doing some lamaze breathing?" a voice, from behind her, asked.

She turned around to see Daniel standing there.

"Oh!! Sunbae, Annyeonghaseyo!!" she exclaimed excited.

She bowed politely.

"Annyeonghaseyo! We FINALLY meet, huh?"

______ giggled and smiled.

"Yes!" she shouted. "Yoseob Oppa never introduced us before!"

"How rude of Hyung!"

"So rude." she giggled.

"Are you a Dalmate?"

"OF COURSE!! Your comeback took...WAY TOO LONG." she sighed.

"Can you believe that THIS is how we meet?"  Daniel asked. "Hyung gets a girlfriend and tells me all about you, but we have to meet backstage on M! Countdown..."

"It's a sad, sad thing."

______ shook her head.

They talked for a while and it brought her nerves down.

"Are you nervous?" Daniel asked.

"Ne..." she squeaked. 'It feels nice talking to Daniel. He makes me think of my Yoseobie Oppa. Aish, I'd feel so much better if I let him be here.'

They took a series of selcas for twitter before Dalmatian took the stage.

"Dalmatian, FIGHTING!!"

"______ Fighting!" Daniel said.

-@ DMTNDBOY: Look who I met! ______ FIGHTING!!-

She saw the tweet and smiled.

-@: Backstage at M Countdown!! Kyaaaa!!~ I'm excited and nervous all at the same time!!-

She scrolled through twitter a bit, while she waited for her turn to perform.

"Omo, what happened to Oppa's twitter?!" she gasped. 'It’s not because of us, right? Oh no!'

She felt like she was having a mild heart-attack.

Suddenly, 4minute, A Pink, and BTOB piled into the waiting room.

______ was so excited to see them.

"Unnie!!" Hyuna shouted.

She ran to give ______ a huge bear hug.

"Oh, you guys!!~" ______ squealed.

Everyone got an individual hug.

"Yah, I'm here too!" Junhyung announced. "I brought...A CAKE! It's red velvet!"

______ frowned.

'Aww...I remember making rainbow velvet cakes, with Yoseobie Oppa. I wish he could be here. I wish I knew what was going on with him right now.'

They celebrated her debut before her performance.

Then, with Yoseob on her mind, she sang her heart out.

 After ______'s debut stage on M! Countdown, the Cube artists went out for a meal.

______ and Yoseob sat at opposite ends of the table.

All of their friends could feel the tension in the air.

"It's awkward..." Kikwang whispered,

"Ara, but she was fine at M! Countdown." Junhyung said.

"She was." Jihyun chimed in,

Hyuna nodded in agreement and gave ______ a big hug.

"Aww...what was that for?"

"Congratulations Unnie!!!"

"Let's order a round of drinks for the table." President Hong announced.

"YES!!!" Sungjae shouted,

"The legal ones." Sohyun grumbled.

"Aww!" the under-aged ones pouted.

Eunji nudged Yoseob with her elbow.

"Oppa, you're like a tense statue." she said.

"So...?"

 

"What do you mean, 'so'? You know, very well, what to do."

"Shireo."

"Oppa..."

"Shireo!"

She jumped to her feet and pulled him up.

"Stand up."

"YAH! WAE?!"

'What the...' ______ thought.

Eunji glared at him.

"Talk to Unnie." she growled through her teeth. "Hurry up..."

"Whatever. I have to pee." Yoseob said walking to the bathroom.

He made eye contact with ______ and nodded his head in the direction of the restrooms, motioning for her to follow.

She let out a sigh and then waited a moment before going after him.

"Let's hope they'll bump into each other in the hall." Eunji said.

"It's incredible awkward. Why isn't he sitting next to Noona?" Peniel asked.

"I think Oppa and Unnie had a fight or something." Naeun added. "They must've."

"Usually she'd be in his lap or the other way around." Gayoon told them. "I mean, have you ever seen them get into a fight?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"Only the playful kind." Kikwang said.

Meanwhile, ______ came into the hallway, near the bathrooms.

Yoseob was waiting for her, with his back leaned against the wall.

"Are you ever going to talk to me?" he asked softly, not even looking at her.

______ didn't reply.

"Mianhae Oppa."

"I understand that the stress was building up and it brought you down...but I just thought you would confide in me. Just tell me what is going on with you. If you're worried about something, let me know. If I do something that you don't approve of...slap me. Either that, or tell me."

"Arasseo."

"Okay. So, you ready to tell me why you've been acting so weird lately."

______ let out a sigh.

"Ne. I just didn't want you to get mad and leave me."

"So you distanced yourself from me?"

"Ne..."

"Wae...?" he whispered.

"I don't want you to be mad at me."

"That’s why you lied, kept secrets, and pushed me away? It’s all because you don't want me to be mad at you. I am mad though. I'm mad for all of those reasons."

"Mianhae Oppa." she sniffled.

"Do you really want to take a break?"

"Ani..."

"Then Wae?! Just tell me why..."

"The necklace."

"Mhm...the one that I gave you that you said you took off so it wouldn't get lost or wrecked?"

He gave her a knowing look.

"Mianhae...I didn't mean to lose it!! I swear I looked everywhere, but I couldn't find it anywhere."

Yoseob shoved his hands into his jean pockets.

"Why couldn't you have just told me that?! Was it THAT difficult?!"

"...yes. You should be mad about that."

Yoseob shook his head.

"Ani, that can be replaced."

"No it can't! It could be the same style necklace and everything, but it's the sentimental value and meaning behind. That can't be replaced. I'll keep looking."

"Andwae."

"I need to!"

Yoseob pulled both hands out of his pockets.

He held his hands in front of her.

"Pick one."

"What?"

"Pick a hand."

"Oppa..."

"Just pick one, please?"

"This one..."

She tapped the left hand.

He opened it to reveal the necklace.

"TA-DAH!"

______ stared at the necklace in his hand, she picked it up and examined it closely.

"Is this my necklace?! I mean...it'd the exact same one?"

Yoseob nodded.

"Mhm."

"How? You knew I lost it? When did you find out? Where did you get it?"

 

--------Flashback---------------

 

Yoseob looked at his phone to see a missed call.

"Hmm...I don't know that number. Why do they keep calling me?"

He noticed a text message from that person.

-This is Kim Munhee.-

"What the heck?!?"

-How did you get my number?-

-I stole it from Minhee's phone. We need to talk. It's kind of important.-

Yoseob thought about for a while.

"Hmm...should I meet him? What would he and I even talk about?"

"Are you talking to yourself? I think arguing with ______ isn't good for you...EVER!" Junhyung said.

"Ara...I have to go somewhere. I'll be back later."

He rushed off to an address that Munhee texted to him.

He rang the doorbell.

When the door opened, Minhee greeted him.

"Yoseob Oppa. What are you doing here?"

"I invited him over." Munhee's voice came from behind.

Minhee blinked in confusion.

"This seems dangerous. JUNGHEE OPPA!!!"

The eldest came running out.

"What is it?"

"Can you watch to make sure nothing bad happens?"

"Okay. Yoseob-ah, Annyeong!!"

"Hyung, Annyeonghaseyo!"

He bowed politely and turned to Munhee.

"Shall we go talk?"

"I don't know if I trust you, do at least we're not alone."

Munhee pulled something out of his pocket.

"I guess I should start by giving you this."

Yoseob looked down to see what was placed in his opened palm.

"IGE MWOYA?! Why do YOU have this?! How did you get it?!"

"_____..."

"______?! Aish...she told me she had taken it off and put it somewhere for safe keeping."

"She's been stressing way too much lately. This seems to be the more important thing to her, right now. She's not easy to get a hold of these days. The only way I could think about getting it to her is you."

"We aren't exactly speaking. Don't go getting your hopes up though, we're NOT over."

Munhee nodded

"Ara. Believe me, I know that. I'm extremely jealous because she was once mine. Apparently I was too clingy."

"He was..." Junghee interrupted.

"I believe it." Yoseob said.

"Yah, I'm being nice here."

"Ara, so where did you find it?"

Munhee looked embarrassed and coughed nervously.

"Um...well..."

 

-----Flashback within a flashback--------

 

Munhee squatted down to the pile of dog poop.

"Oh god...it can't be...You're kidding me!!"

"Quit talking to the poop." Minhee shouted from inside the house.

"Aish!" he grumbled.

He found a stick and poked around.

That confirmed it.

The necklace was in the poop.

"How the hell?!" he whined. "Do J have to stick my hand in there?! Oh god...IT'S STILL WARM!! So gross! So gross! Eww!"

He pulled the necklace out of the poop and examined it.

"UGH!! I reek! I think I'm gonna p-.."

He got up and ran in through the house to the bathroom.

 

------End of Flashback within a Flashback XD---------

 

Yoseob tried to stifle a laugh.

Nope, he couldn't do it.

"Pfffft! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"Aigoo, THAT is what happened?!" Junghee laughed. "Such a cute little brother. We thought the poop spoke to you."

Munhee rolled his eyes.

"Bokshiri must've been hungry."

“Gee…You think?”

 

--------------------------End Of Flashback----------------------------------------------

 

______ stifled a laugh.

“THAT is why he was freaking out. Wait…Bokshiri took my necklace?! “

“Mhm, I wonder why.” he asked.

“I think it had your scent on it.” ______ said. “Dogs like things with their human’s scent on it. That was his way of being close to you.”

“Poor aegi. He’s so tiny…at least it came out without hurting him. The best thing was the image I had, in my head, of Kim Munhee digging though the poop.”

“I KNOW!~” she giggled. “I was wondering why he screamed like a girl when he ran to the bathroom.”

The two laughed at the mental image.

Yoseob pulled her into his arms.

“Don’t push me away anymore, arasseo?”

“I didn’t want to hurt your feelings…”she whispered against his chest.

“It hurt more when you pushed me away. Promise me, that it won’t happen again.”

“Mianhae Oppa.”

“It’s okay. Now that I know what it was, I’m fine. You were trying to spare my feelings. ______-ah, I trust you enough to know that you wouldn’t DELIBERATELY lose that necklace.”

“Never.” She shook her head.

Yoseob smiled and leaned down to give her a kiss.

“I feel so much better now. Eunji kept telling me that I’m as tense as a statue.” He chuckled.

______ smiled.

“I thought so too. I was worried when you deleted all of your tweets and stuff. Are you quitting twitter?!”

Yoseob shook his head.

“Ani, I made a new account. Don’t worry, Jagiya.” He whispered. “The only thing is, I’m not following you, yet. B2UTIES are worried. They keep tweeting to me, asking me, ‘Why aren’t you following ______?’ Haha, I want to say… ‘PSH, well she’s not following me either. Why the heck should I?!’. Others asked if we broke up because we haven’t tweeted to each other in a while. I don’t want them to think that.”

“Me neither. Oppa, I never meant to make you feel insecure too."

"Ara." he smiled. "Can we be honest from now on?"

"I will, I promise." she said. "So, be completely honest with me."

"About?"

"Me debut stage. Did you watch it?"

Yoseob gave her 'DUH!' look.

"What do you think? I'd never miss something that huge!" he told her.

______ kissed his cheek.

"Geurae, and your thoughts? Did I look nervous? I was oozing nervousness and fear."

He took a deep breath.

"Well...it didn't show. When you were on that stage, and the lights hit you perfectly, you looked like an angel. I'd say it was a DAEBAK, debut stage. Despite your nerves, you didnt tense up or anything."

______ nodded.

"If you were there, right beside me, I would've never been so nervous. I know that's my fault and I'm really sorry."

Yoseob grumbled.

"AISH! Some people don't know when to stop!" he scolded. "Enough apologizing. You promised to not do it again, so...DON'T!!"

She giggled and wrapped her arms, toghtly, around his torso.

"Okay...sorry."

"Yah, Song ______!"

"Mia-...SARANGHAE!~" she snickered, correcting herself.

Yoseob sighed, shaking his head.

"One more thing..."

"Hmm?"

She looked at his face.

"No more getting into scandals with guys, other than me! I'll try not to smother you with too much aegyo, and over-protectiveness. I know that I keep you too close sometimes and I don't want to be dumped for good!~" he scolded. "I promise to let you do your own thing. I'll stop treating you like you're a fragile, glass ball. Well...I'll still be a protective boyfriend, but not as insane. You must've felt smothered and that's, also, was caused you to pull away."

"Ani, that's your personality."

"I could afford to tone it down a bit. It wont kill me. On the other hand, if I don't tone it down...you might..." he said.

Yoseob side-eyed her.

"Ne, I might. Kaja, we've been gone for too long. Someone might assume things."

They joined hands and went back to the table.

“They made up!” Eunji announced. “YES!”

Hyunseung eyed them suspiciously.

“Why were you to in the bathroom for so long?” he asked. “How exactly, did you two make up in the bathroom?”

“I don’t want to know.” Kikwang whined.

“Wae?! All we did was talk!”

Hyunseung narrowed his eyes at him.

“Is that code for something?” Kikwang asked.

Yoseob blinked.

“It means, your mouth is moving and words are coming out…? What does ‘talking’ mean to you.”

“I wasn’t too sure it was the same kind of ‘talking’.”

“What other type of ‘talking’ is there? Aigoo.”

“Your mouth could be moving with no words coming out.”

“That’s not ‘talking’.” Yoseob mumbled. “The main thing is, we made up and that’s what matters. Also, the ‘Y-Heart’ does not smell like doggy poo.”

“Huh?!” everyone said at the same time.

“Just an observation.”

He looked at ______.

“What the…?” she giggled.

She sniffed it and nodded.

“Feed the dog, will you? Then, maybe, he’ll stop eating expensive jewelry. Can you go through the next week of debut stages without it?"

"How about...NO!" 

"So...now that things aren't so awkward, LET'S TOAST TO ______!" Junhyung said.

He held up his beer.

"Also, to Yang Yoseobie not driving us COMPLETELY insane the past two days." Doojoon said, raising his glass.

"Hear, Hear!!" the B2ST members shouted in agreement.

"Y-YAH!" Yoseob whined. "Wait...it was only two days?"

 "Mhm, two days." ______ giggled.

"Aah, jinjja?! It felt longer!"
