"I think my feelings are clear. I know who I want to be with."

Krystal's mouth slightly opened as she listened to Minho speak everything to her in detail. She literally had no idea what to say. At that time, she was still dating Kai; and he picked her up after the fan-meet. That was the boy she was kissing; but he didn't have to know that.

Most people probably would've gotten creeped out that Minho remembered so many details from one certain day; a fan-meeting to be exact.

But Krystal didn't. If anything, she was more flattered.

The fact that Choi Minho, SHINee's infamous rapper and heartthrob actor, remembered meeting her; that was more than a fan could ever ask for.

And now here she was, sitting in her room with the guy she idolized; having a conversation as if they were close friends.

Krystal couldn't help but just fall in love with Minho's presence more and more.

Minho sighed, letting out a nervous laugh; "I probably just creeped you out with that descriptive story huh?"

Krystal gave him a soft smile back, sitting and patting the spot beside her on her bed for him to sit down; "That was actually kind of, cute."

"Cute?" Minho repeated, sitting next to her; "How so?"

She shrugged her shoulders, "It's just amazing to think that the person you fangirl over can actually remember your face out of millions of fans. I'm honestly thankful because if it wasn't for SHINee's music; I don't know how far I would've made it."

Minho smiled at her; loving how her words flowed out of .

He's heard those lines from thousands of other fans before; but when Krystal said it, it truly hit him. SHINee had the power to save people's lives; and Krystal was an example of that.

It wasn't like he was talking to a fan anymore; but more like a friend who he was able to protect through the tough times and share the happy moments with. He never wanted to leave her side.

"Krystal," Minho quietly said.

She perked up, raising her eyebrows; "Yeah?"

Minho looked down at her bed sheet; countless thoughts running through his mind.

I've never felt so confident about my feelings before; I need to do this before I regret it.

"There's just something that's been in my head for awhile." Minho told her; suddenly becoming serious.

Krystal looked at him with the same serious face, "What is it?"

After a deep breath, Minho began to speak again; "I know you and I haven't known each other for a long time; we've also only exchanged few words with each other."

Her eyes slightly widened, hearing the nervousness in the tone of his voice. Is this really happening right now?

"Before I say anything else, Sulli and I aren't dating anymore. Well, we are, but only because the company. My feelings for her have left and I have never been so sure about something before." Minho paused again.

Krystal leaned forward, anticipating what he was going to say.

"Krystal," Minho began, "I-"

"JUNG SOO JUNG! I told you to close the pantry doors after you-" Jessica opened up Krystal's door, only to stop in the middle of her little rant.

Minho & Krystal both stood up right away; Minho backing away awkwardly as he scratched the back of his neck.

"Oh," Jessica pursed her lips, "Nice to see you Minho."

Krystal bit her lip, running her hands through her hair; "We just had some ice cream and I brought him over unnie."

Jessica nodded her head, giving them both suspicious looks. "Well, I'll leave you two alone. Just remember to close the pantry when you're getting food down there."

"Yes boss." Krystal sarcastically answered, even saluting to her.

Jessica nodded her head, closing the door as she finally left the room.

Krystal turned to face Minho, scratching her wrist; "I'm sorry about that."

He smiled, letting out a little laugh; "That's fine; although that was pretty awkward."

"Agreed." Krystal giggled, "What were you saying though?"

Minho looked into her eyes; the mood was no longer the same.

He thought that maybe Jessica walking in on them right as he was about to confess was probably a sign that it wasn't the right time.

"Actually, I think I can save that thought for later." Minho sighed, looking at the time.

Krystal looked down, biting her lip again; Guess he wasn't going to confess anyways. "Do you have to get going? Donghae is coming over for dinner and I guess you could stay if you like."

Minho looked back down at her, "Will Jonghyun be okay with that?"

Krystal laughed, "I actually invited Jonghyun over as well; but he said he's pretty tired. He knows I've been with you and I don't think one little dinner will be a problem." she gave him an assuring smile.

"Alright." Minho gave her a thumbs up, "I'm getting hungry anyways; this ice cream didn't really fill me up." he joked.

Krystal tugged on his arm, having her follow downstairs.

Minho looked down at her hand wrapped around his forearm; just smiling.

Krystal was capable of making his heart beat with just one little thing and he didn't know if he would be able to control himself anymore.

---

Jonghyun stared up at the ceiling; he was in the dorm with Key while Taemin & Onew went out with Luna and Sulli. And he knew where Minho was at the time.

"I don't understand your logic." Key mumbled, "You're basically pushing your own girlfriend to Minho; which is quite confusing to understand."

Jonghyun turned in his bed to face Key opposite of him; "You know that feeling when you're sure someone likes you; but it's as if whenever you're with them, there's someone else on their mind?" he asked, "That's how I feel with Krystal."

"So you think that Krystal thinks of other things when she's around you." Key confirmed.

Jonghyun nodded his head, "Even before I started to realize that Minho likes her; I just kind of felt a little tension whenever Minho & Krystal were in the same room together. But for some odd, weird reason; I can not get mad at him for it."

Key raised his eyebrows, surprised by Jonghyun's words; "Are you saying you're gonna let Krystal go?"

"I can't keep her trapped with me if she's clearly falling for someone else." Jonghyun sat up, "But I have nothing confirmed yet. Except for Minho's side."

Key shrugged his shoulders, "If you're wondering about Krystal's feelings, the best people to go to are Kai & Myungsoo; they seem to have a pretty tight bond if you ask me."

"It kind of makes me feel like sht because it's as if I never noticed this before. Minho's been so upset lately; and he's going through a break up with Sulli. Now I know the real reason why and everything makes so much more sense to me." Jonghyun let out.

Key looked at his best friend with sad eyes, "It isn't your fault Jonghyun, you know that. Sometimes certain people are just not meant for each other though. Maybe you and Krystal were just made to be really good friends."

Jonghyun chuckled, "Now that I think of it; you're right. Krystal may be gorgeous in every way possible, but sometimes I don't see her as a girlfriend. More like a really good friend who I just want to take care of, ya know?"

"You've changed a lot over the years Kim Jonghyun, I'm really happy for you." Key smiled.

Jonghyun laughed again, "I guess this is what maturing feels like."

"Hey, can you pass the soy sauce over?" Taemin pointed over at Sulli, who dazed off into who knows where.

"Sul," Luna waved her hand in front of her; finally getting her to snap out of it.

"Huh?" Sulli scratched her neck, "I'm sorry."

Onew pursed his lips, "Thinking about Minho huh?"

"Jinki." Luna elbowed Onew in the stomach, "I told you not to bring him up."

Sulli glared at Onew slightly, rolling her eyes, "It's whatever Luna."

Taemin looked at Luna, concerned as always, "Are you sure it's just whatever?"

Sulli slammed her glass down, looking at Taemin; "I said it's whatever so why doesn't anyone just believe me that I can be fine without Minho?"

"Sulli, we didn't mean it like that." Luna reached for her hand across the table; but she pulled away too fast.

Sulli shook her head, standing up; "I need some fresh air."

Before anyone could even speak up, she walked out of the reserved restaurant and out onto the balcony.

Luna stood up; but Taemin shook his head, "Let me." he offered.

"You sure?" Luna asked, "She's tough to deal with when she's mad."

Taemin nodded his head, pushing his seat in as he gave her an assuring smile; "I'm sure."

Taemin found Sulli looking off into the city lights; one of the most beautiful scenes he's ever seen.

And he wasn't talking about the city.

Even before Minho & Sulli dated, Taemin hid his major crush on Sulli. He never understood why he liked her; she was rude, she was irritating most of the time, and their personalities didn't match at all.

There was just something about her that made Taemin fall for her more and more everyday; when it was so, so wrong.

But things got even more wrong when him & Sulli hooked up; while Minho was still dating Sulli.

On that night, Sulli came to the SHINee dorm; asking where Minho was. But at the time, Taemin was the only one there.

She clearly had drank and was completely not herself. Taemin wanted to take care of her; but he ended up doing more than that.

Sulli woke up the next morning; seeing Taemin beside her and not Minho.

They both swore to each other it was a one time thing and no one would find out.

"Sulli?" he quietly approached her.

Sulli didn't turn around, but acknowledged his presence around her; "I was in the wrong earlier."

Taemin touched her shoulder, looking off into the distance with her; "I understand."

She looked over to face him; tears clearly b around her eyes, "What's so special about Krystal that he fell for her that fast?"

"Maybe you and Minho just weren't meant to be." Taemin softly answered.

Sulli gave him a soft glare, "I don't care if we're not meant to be. I'll let him be with anyone. Except Krystal Jung."

"Sulli.." Taemin started, only to get cut off.

She pouted, "Will you help me win him over again?"

After hearing that favor, Taemin just wanted to back away and say no.

Minho was one of his best friends and he was well aware of the fact that he was over Sulli and has clearly moved on. But then there was Sulli, the girl he was secretly in love with who he would do everything for; even though it was wrong.

"You want me to help you get back with Minho?" Taemin repeated.

Sulli nodded, reaching out for his hands; "I will seriously love you forever."

Taemin looked down at their hands touching, taking a deep breath before slowly nodding his head as an answer.

Sulli smiled widely and leaned forward to hug him.

Taemin took another deep breath, closing his eyes as he hugged her back. Love calls for tough measures, right?

---

"Hey, do you need any help?" Krystal & Minho walked downstairs to see Jessica cooking up dinner; as usual.

Jessica shook her head; pointing at the table, "You guys can just sit down and smell the perfection I'm brewing up." she winked.

Minho chuckled, suddenly feeling like he was at home all over again. It only made him miss his mom some more.

He was in the middle of his deep thought; until a sudden noise surprised them.

"It's not working, so stop fronting; I know you want me, let's start talking. ~"

"Crap, that's my phone. I'll be right back." Krystal got up from her seat, running off to pick up her phone.

She came back after a couple minutes, "It was just Kai; he invited us to their concert next weekend."

Jessica nodded her head, "I'd love to! I wasn't able to go to their showcase before; so I felt kind of bad."

Krystal chuckled, sitting beside Minho; who gave her a suspicious look, "What?"

"How you gonna call yourself a Shawol and have a GOT7 song as your ringtone?" Minho joked.

Krystal covered her face in embarrassment, "It's a good song okay. Plus, Mark. Oh my God, Mark." she wooed.

Jessica turned around, giving her a piercing glare; "I already called dibs on Mark you noob."

"Mark's too young for you unnie." Krystal stuck her tongue out; looking at the door as Donghae finally came. "Oppa!"

Minho chuckled at the two bickering over a rookie idol; I never knew an idol could be a fangirl as well.

He stood up, bowing to Donghae as he came in with a cake.

Donghae smiled at all of them; approaching Jessica and hugging her from behind. He nuzzled his face into the back of her neck; whispering into her ear, "Happy anniversary beautiful."

Krystal smiled at the two who were just so in love. It made her more than happy to see her sister find someone so near perfect.

While Krystal was focused on the Haesica action happening in front of her; Minho's focus was on Krystal.

She was so pure, so innocent, so adorable. It was as if Minho found it impossible to find a flaw in her.

Probably because she doesn't have any. Minho thought.

---

"I heard Super Junior is making their comeback next week; are you excited to be performing again?" Minho asked in between bites.

Donghae nodded his head in excitement, "I feel like it's been forever. Especially since it's been two years without Teuk hyung; things are so much more at ease when he's around."

Krystal remained quiet for most of the dinner; mainly because she was so hungry and so focused on her food. Nothing made her happier than her sister's homemade dishes.

Donghae chuckled, "Yah, you eat like a slob but look like a twig. How do you Jung sisters do it?"

Krystal blushed, holding up an innocent peace sign with food in .

"Oh Donghae, we just have good genes." Jessica patted his back, causing all of them to laugh.

Donghae pointed at Krystal, "You've always reminded me of Jonghyun; you both are like little kid's."

Minho's face soured at the sound of Jonghyun's name; he was the last person he wanted to hear about.

Krystal took a quick glance to her right; looking at how Minho leaned a bit back in his seat after Donghae mentioned Jonghyun's name.

Why does he act like that? Krystal thought to herself. She looked down into her food; feeling herself blush.

Donghae pointed at them; "You know Krystal, I know you're dating Jonghyun and stuff; but you & Minho make quite the visual couple. You look like you could've been the mother of Yoogeun & Minho is the father; I'm not even kidding."

Jessica looked off to the side, trying not to laugh because she always believed the same thing.

"What?" Both Minho & Krystal spoke at the same time; even turning their heads to look at each other.

Minho scratched the back of his neck in embarrassment; "Hyung, I make a good couple with anyone." he said to ease the tension off of him.

Krystal touched her face some more; "You're making me die of embarrassment oppa."

Donghae winked, pinching her nose from across the table; "You're full of innocence Jung Soojung."

Krystal glared at him jokingly; and after a couple seconds, she looked back at Minho; who was already staring at her.

Jessica smiled at the two, Two people who are so meant to be are blocked by so many problems. she sighed.

After dinner, Minho & Donghae stayed and chatted for a little longer to catch up with one another.

Once Eunhyuk called Donghae saying they had an early rehearsal the next day; Donghae said his goodbyes and left them all there.

Krystal led Minho to the front porch; where they stayed for a little bit, letting the cool breeze mess up their dark hair.

"About what you were going to say upstairs, are you ever going to tell me?" Krystal finally found the courage to ask.

Minho turned his head to look Krystal in the eyes; seeing that she really wanted to know.

Today's not the right time. He convinced himself, "When the time is right, I promise you, you'll be the first person I tell that thing to."

Krystal nodded her head, pursing her lips; "Can I get a hint?"

Minho chuckled, "It's something special. That's all I'm gonna tell you."

---

"It's something special."

Once Minho left, those were the only words that ran through Krystal's mind.

She didn't want to feel delusional, but she couldn't help but believe that maybe, just maybe Minho did like her back.

There were so many hints that led to it; and she understood why he couldn't tell her yet. There were way too many problems.

But Krystal was in no rush for anything; true love comes when the time is right.

Her and Minho were just starting to build a solid friendship; and Krystal didn't want to risk that just yet.

Jessica gave her dongsaeng a suspicious look as she walked in with a wide smile on her face.

"Looks like you two are hitting it off quite well." she managed to tease.

Krystal rolled her eyes, taking a seat on the couch; "He's so down to Earth; makes me remember why he was always my bias."

Jessica smiled at her younger sister; "So have you made your choice between Jonghyun or Minho yet?"

Krystal let the question sink in; and after a couple seconds, she nodded her head.

"I think my feelings are clear. I know who I want to be with."

There we have it!

Minho ALMOST confessed; but of course, he was all paranoid about the timing and such.

This chapter also let you have a little feel on what was going on through Krystal's mind; and now that she's made her mind up, who do you think she has chosen? (;

It also seems that Jonghyun has accepted the fact that him & Krystal aren't meant to be.

And another revelation; Taemin has had feelings for Sulli and they have even hooked up before & now he will help her get Minho back.

How will that work out for all of them?

If you were him, who would you side with? One of your best friend or the girl you're in love with?

*Author's Note* I start school on Tuesday, September 2nd; so that means, I won't be able to update as frequently as I did in the Summer. I'm not going to completely drop this story for the whole school year simply because I just enjoy writing this one so much. But, I can't promise an update every three days anymore. If anything, I can maybe get 1 update a week; or maybe 1 update every 2 weeks. Just know that it won't be a regular schedule anymore; and I hope you all understand. ^^
