“I just don’t want anything bad happened to you”

I remained silent. Trying to understand his words, trying to comprehend with my most logical thoughts

“Ya... Don’t you hear me?” he raised his tone a bit “Let’s just go” he said shortly grabbing my hand and drags me to his car. Still. With a confused mind I stayed silent

“So where are we going?” he asked as we both seated

“Aaa.. actually, I’m doing a volunteer work” I finally gather my courage to open my mouth

“Volunteer work? Mwo? You?” he asked in disbelief

I nod “I’ve been doing it since last year”

“PUHAHAHAHAHAHA” he bursts into laughter

“Mwoya? Why are you laughing?”

“Ani… I just can’t believe someone like you can do volunteer work” he laughed slapping his own thigh

“YA!! You’re so mean!”

“Hahahaha.. I’m just joking Ji Min-a” he smiled

“That’s why, I know you wouldn’t like it” I said straightforwardly

“Aniya! I would love to try once” he said crossing his arm around me

“Jinca? Are you sure?” I asked raising my eyebrows

“So.. Why did we end up taking the bus again?” Hanbin asked as he leaned toward the bus door, looking annoyed

“Because you’re being so stubborn” I said crossing my arm

“Me? I’m being stubborn?” he asked in disbelief “You’re the one who refuse to ride my car”

“Well… it’s not my fault that you tagged me along to ride the bus”

“pfftt. Whatever” he pouts, his pouts is the cutest thing you’ll ever seen. Jimin-a… get a grip will you

“Now brave yourself” I said “This bus will be very packed in the next bus stop”

“What? It’s packed already” he whined “whyyyy…..” he continued

As I predicted as soon as the driver hit the brake everyone is rushing to get into bus pushing me and Hanbin up close each other. Side by side. I can hear my heart start racing already, I tried to fight back the blood that keep rising to my head. I hope my face doesn’t turn red.

“How many stops left again?” he asked

“2 more I thi…” my words are cut off when the bus driver hit the brake all of the sudden, I stumbled and closed my eyes with thought that I will fall

But I was wrong, I can feel someone’s tight grip upon my arms. I open my eyes slowly and sees an unfamiliar face. It’s… It’s…

“Don’t you think you should be more careful?” he asked coldly

“I’m so sor…” And again when I try to spat out my words someone pushed me and I stumbled to his arm again and I can clearly see his name tag ‘Lee Jong Suk’

I can feel his breath as we locked our gaze to each other, what… is this…? Why does my heart start racing with someone else and I barely even know him

I let go of his arms and bowed “I..I…I’M SO SORRY!!” This is really bad, not only I accidently throw myself to a sunbae, I can feel Hanbin is glaring at me. He probably afraid that some crazy fan girl might see me and Jong Suk sunbae and think that I’m not really his girlfriend.

“You’re a mess. How pathetic” that sunbae said cold heartedly and fix his gaze somewhere else

“I’m really sorry, I didn’t mean for that to hap…pen..” I stuttered

He remained silent and keep looking away.

“Ya! Is this the bus stop?” Hanbin asked with raising his tone grabbing my right hand

“Eo? Uhm.. 1 more stop” I said

“Okay” he said shortly. I knew it. He’s mad because I almost ruin his perfect plan. But I really didn’t know how I could end up in that sunbae arm at all, Eottokhae? Seems like I’ve ruined everything

Hanbin’s POV

Why does it keep bothering me? I mean… It’s not like she’s my real girlfriend. But what I just saw right now…. It keeps bothering me.

I can see it with my own two eyes, I was about to help her when she stumbled but that guy suddenly grab her arm. His gaze towards her is bothering me a lot as well. Do they know each other? How can they know each other? He’s wearing the same uniform as ours but I never seen him before

“Is he the reason we’re taking the bus?” I asked suddenly, I don’t know why I asked that, but I was just curious, I was just… I don’t know… what is wrong with me

“Mwo..? Mworago?” she asked stuttering

“That’s so low Jimin-a” I said coldly. Why did I say that..?

“What do you mean?!” she raised her tone. I just make things worse now… fix it Hanbin! Fix it!

“Nevermind” I said shortly, okay. I don’t think I fix anything, it’s just getting awkward now

After 1 stop we finally arrived and when we went down that guy also went down with us. Mwoya… Who is he? What is his relationship with Jimin? And why does all this bothering me?!

We walked faster but still in silent leaving that guy a mile behind us,

“he’s not” she suddenly said, “he’s not the reason I’m taking the bus, I really just didn’t want to bother you” she continued

“I didn’t even know that we’re going to be in a bus with that guy, I barely even know him… I’m sorry okay…. I’m sorry I almost ruin your precious act. I’m Sorry that I almost blew up our secrets and make your life miserable, but please… don’t be like this” her voice cracked

What have I done? I can tell that she fight back her tears, this is so stupid, I’m not even mad at her because of our secret, I was just… I was just….

End of Hanbin’s POV

“I didn’t even know that we’re going to be in a bus with that guy, I barely even know him… I’m sorry okay…. I’m sorry I almost ruin your precious act. I’m Sorry that I almost blew up our secrets and make your life miserable, but please… don’t be like this” I said trying to fight back my tears, I don’t want our friendship to end like this, I don’t want him to hate me

He sighed and stare at me “I’m not mad Jimin-a, I’m not mad because of that”

My mind went blank and I can’t think of anything else but his words, what does that mean?

“Look. You’re my best friend and I wouldn’t let you throw yourself to a random guy like that. That’s low and that’s worse than any of my crazy fan girls” he continued

Wait.. What!?

“I don’t even know him!! He just happen to find my ID card and I don’t even know that he’ll be riding the same bus as ours! How can you think that I’m that LOW and that I’m WORSE than those girls that you’re dying to avoid!?”

“It’s not like that!” He yelled, “That’s not what I’m trying to say!”

“Then What?!! What are you trying to say” I yelled back at him, frustrated.

“What I’m trying to say is YOU’RE MINE!!”

“Mwo..? Mworago..?” I stuttered

“YOU’RE MINE! And what I just saw and what just happen bothers me a lot!!”­ He yelled, I froze, stiff as stone. “I never thought of you worse than those running fan girls of mine! And I don’t give any single about our lies! I just don’t like what I saw! I know I’m not your real boyfriend but it keeps bothering me!”

I stared blankly into his eyes and I can’t hardly hide my heart thumping wildly from him, I can’t even say anything to reply what he just said.

What was that supposed to mean? Did I just know his true feeling?
