Krystal quietly walks into the room, not forgetting to close and lock the door after.

 

She silently tip-toes into the room, not wanting to wake her oppa up, just as she walks up to the bed, her eyes catch sight of something..

 

 

 

‘click’ The lights of the whole room go on..

 

 

 

 

“Oppa..” Krystal exclaims, when the picture becomes clear..

 

The picture of Minho oppa.. and…. Kang Yoomi..…

 

“OPPA!!” Krystal screams.

 

Minho immediately wakes up, just in time to see Krystal run out the door. He looks around, still not completely awake. And sees Yoomi lying next to him, in his arms. And his shirt open…

When finally, he realizes what Yoomi has done.

 

“Kang Yoomi!” He yells, and pushes her off.

“Oppa…” Yoomi moans waking up.

“You’ve gone too far this time!”

“Oppa….” Yoomi exclaims, realizing what Minho’s talking about.

 

“I have a life, Yoomi. And it’s not you.” He says, standing up. Yoomi grabs Minho by the waist and starts crying. 

“Oppa..! please don’t go…..”  She screams.

“You are my Oppa too….” 

“Why is she any more special than me? When the one that was with you all these years…..was me..” Yoomi says, tears running down her cheeks.

 

It was her that was with him all these years, not Krystal.

 

It was her that was his little dongseng that he watched grow up, not Krystal.

 

It was her who he treated her, like he cared so much about her, when actually, she was just Krystal’s substitute….

 

 

“OPPA!  don’t stay quiet… say something..please..”

 

 

Minho, torn between going after his Cheonsa or….  “Yoomi..” He finally says.. and turns around to look at the little girl, as he slowly sits down next to her..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“What!?” Sulli exclaims after hearing what happened.

“I.. I..”

“Shh… it’s ok.. Krys…I’m so sorry…” Sulli says, hugging her friend tightly, gently patting her back.

“That man..  AISH! I’ll get him don’t worry Krys. How dare he do this to my friend!!!….  And Yoomi…”

“I’m sorry Krystal.. I didn’t know she was…”

“Forget it.. Sulli.. I really don’t want to hear those names right now..” Krystal says, wiping the tears off her face, and takes a deep breath.

“Is it ok.. if I stay here with you for a few days? I don’t want to go back home and..”

“Of course! It’s not like I live with anyone.. You’re welcome here anytime.” Sulli says with a big smile on her face, trying to cheer Krystal up.

“Thanks.” Krystal says, with a small smile on her face.

 

 

Knock. Knock. Knock.

 

 

 

“Huh? Who would come at this time?” Sulli looks at Krystal. “Oh no.”

“Tell him you don’t know anything.” Krystal says, quickly finding somewhere to hide.

 

“Yah! Sulli open the door! I know you’re not asleep yet!” yells the person at Sulli’s door.

 

Thankfully, it’s Taemin’s voice.

 

“Taemin?” Sulli says, opening the door. “What are you doing here?”

“You forgot your phone at the university. so I thought I’d take it home with me and bring it to you tomorrow. But it won’t stop ringing!” Taemin complains, and shoves the little pink phone into Sulli’s hand.

“How many friends do you have!?”

“Sorry, can’t help it if I’m popular. hehe”

“You know.. You could of just turned the sound off.” Sulli adds, looking at Taemin, with a smile on her face.

 

 I’m sure he was smart enough to know that.. Sulli thought.

 

“Uh.. well I…... You’re not going to let me in?” Taemin asks, trying to cover up his mistake. And walks into Sulli’s little apartment room. He stops, when he sees Krystal sitting on Sulli’s bed.

“Krystal?”

“Oh.. hi Taeminnie..” Krystal says.

“What are you doing here?” He asks, walking over to Krystal. “Hey.. were you… crying?”

He says, looking at Krystal. Krystal turns her head, and looks away.

“No..I..I  was just..” But she can’t keep it in, when another tear comes running down her cheek.

“Krystal…?”

“Leave her alone.” Sulli says walking over to her bed, and sits down next to Krystal.

“What happened…. Minho hyung?” Taemin asks, and looks up at Sulli, who’s sending him a sign, telling him to be quiet.

 

Taemin finally gets the signal, and just sits quietly on the floor, watching the girls talk.

When Krystal finally falls asleep, Sulli tells Taemin everything that happened.

But for some reason.. they just don’t get why Minho would do that.

 

They know.. How much Minho loves Krystal, and never thought he would be that kind of person.

“No.. Minho hyung isn’t like that.” Taemin says, staring at Krystal’s sleeping face, tears still running down her cheeks. He gently wipes her tears away with his fingers. Hyung..Why?

 

“Taemin… can I ask you something..” Sulli asks, suddenly  breaking the quietness.

“What?” Taemin asks, still looking at Krystal, brushing the hair off her face.

“You.. like Krystal ..don’t you.” Taemin turns to look at Sulli, not sure what he should answer her.

“What? She’s one of my best friends….”

“Don’t lie. Lee Taemin. I would know even if you didn’t tell me.”

“Then why are you asking me?”

“You know she loves Minho…”

“So!? I know that! But I….. oh. Forget it! You wouldn’t understand.”

“How do you know I won’t. One sided love.. I know it well.” Sulli says, looking at Taemin.

He slowly looks up, meeting her eyes, a weird feeling coming up inside.

 

“Well what do you want me to do. When the person I love, doesn’t love me.”

“Why don’t you try turning to the person that does loves you!” Sulli, trying to keep her emotions in.

“What..?” Taemin asks, standing up.

 

“Nothing.  It’s late. You should go home.” Sulli says, walking to the door.

 

 

Taemin doesn’t say anything else, but just follows her to the door and quietly walks out.

 

 

 

……………………………………………………………………………..

 

 

 

 

“Krys.. you can’t keep hiding from him like this. Nothing’s going to get better, if you keep doing this.” Sulli says, looking at Krystal, who’s sitting on the floor next to her bed

 

It’s been almost a week since Krystal’s been staying with Sulli. She has been hiding from Minho ever since that night.

Minho has also been coming to Sulli’s place very often, surely he knows, Krystal must be with Sulli. But because Krystal begged her, Sulli can’t say anything. But who knows how long Sulli can keep it in.

 

 

“Krystal.. go talk to him. Minho hyung, isn’t in any better condition than you are.” Taemin says. He can’t stand seeing Krystal like this anymore either.

“No….I can’t….”

“He doesn’t seem like he cares… I’m sure if he really wanted to see me.. He’d find a way..” Krystal says, not looking up at her friends.

 

“Ooooh! That’s it! We’re going out!” Sulli says, and grabs Krystal’s arm, with Taemin’s help on her other arm.

“Yahh!! Let me go!” Krystal whines, trying to wiggle out of her friends grip. But of course, fails to.

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Why are we here again?” Krystal asks Taemin who is sitting next to her, on one of the university’s benches. Waiting for Sulli to come back with the drinks they asked her to buy.

Why would they bring me here?Krystal thinks, looking around, the deserted university.

There aren’t a lot of people around campus, because of the holidays, but you can see the decorations starting to come up, for the winter fling which is two days away.

 

Suddenly, as if pulled out of her thoughts, her eyes, caught, on those familiar dark ones. Once again.

 

 

 

 

 

There she is. I haven’t seen her for almost a week, and there she is, right in front of me.

Is this real or am I dreaming?

I’m so afraid to blink..

What if she disappears again….

What if this is just a mirage……

 

 

Minho quickly blinks his eyes to make sure….he isn’t just dreaming of her.. Again.

 

But when he sees her, still there, he’s sure. This time,it’s real.

 

“Soojung ah…” Minho calls her name, as his long legs quickly, take him closer to her. The person he misses the most. His little cheonsa.

 

 

 

“Taemin….”

All thought and reason left her head, when all she could think of, was the last time she had seen Minho, and she wanted him to feel what she did.

Krystal grabbed Taemin’s shirt and pulled him close, quickly giving him a light kiss, on the lips.

 

“Krystal! What are you doing!?” Taemin exclaims, as soon as his lips were free. His hands on her shoulders, pushing her away.

 

“You know, I will always be there for you. But not like this. Don’t play with my feelings like this, Krystal.” Taemin says, and stands up. “We’ll just pretend that didn’t happen. Go talk to him.” He says, and walks away, passed the shocked Sulli, that came back just in time to see what happened..

 

 

“JungSoojung!” Minho yells, grabbing Krystal’s arm.

“NO OPPA!” Krystal yells back, and shakes his hand off, running the other direction. Just as Minho was about to run after her, someone stops him.

“Oppa..Don’t..” Sulli says, stepping in front of him.

“She’s not ready yet.. from what you did to her.”

“But I didn’t do anything! You don’t understand….”

“If you say you didn’t, then I will believe you oppa…  But Krystal won’t… from what she saw..”

“I will help you, but please wait..” Sulli says,”You know you can’t be mad at Taemin for this. It wasn’t his fault…she’s just really hurting…” She adds, and runs after Krystal.

 

 

Soojung ah… I’m sorry..

 

 

Please.. don’t do this to me...

 

 

 

I don’t want to lose you again…..Krystal quietly walks into the room, not forgetting to close and lock the door after.

 

She silently tip-toes into the room, not wanting to wake her oppa up, just as she walks up to the bed, her eyes catch sight of something..

 

 

 

‘click’ The lights of the whole room go on..
