The Next Day...

Your POV

I wasn't able to have a good sleep.

I can't stop myself from thinking about that bet.

I went to the bathroom and look at the mirror.

I look like a zombie.

Then I take a bath and prepare for school.

-few minutes later-

I went downstairs and have my breakfast. My umma is already done preparing our breakfast. My appa is also there, drinking his cup of coffee while reading a newspaper.

"Good morning sweetie~" my umma greeted me.

"Morning Mom, Morning dad" I said and kissed their cheeks.

"Is there something wrong? You look pale" my Dad said.

"No, I'm fine. I just didn't have a good sleep"

"Why? Is there something bothering you?" my Mom asked in concern.

"Actually yes~" I said.

"Then what is it?" My appa said.

I sighed.

"Taemin and his friends made a bet about me"

"What?!??! My umma exclaimed.

"Yah,Honey calm down" my dad said to my mom.

"What's the bet all about?" my Mom asked.

"Taemin must be able to make me like him."

"Then what's the prize if he succeded?" my appa asked.

"I don't know~ I didn't asked about it. My mind was too occupied with the fact that they had make fun of me. It is not a simple bet. It is my feelings that is at risk. What if I really end up liking him?? It is ME,who's going to hurt in the end."

"I understand, making a bet is really not a good game but at least you have found it out early. Anyway, who told you about it?" my Appa said.

"Taemin" I said

"He personally tell you??" My mom asked.

I just nodded.

"Then maybe he really don't want to hurt you" she said.

"I agree with your Mom. If he really wanted to hurt you, he wouldn't tell it to you and just continue until the bet is over." My appa said.

"He give up mom and dad because no matter what he do, it has no effect on me. Remember when he asked me out?? That's a a part of his plan. "

My mom sighed.

"Alright, Let's talk about this later. We are all going to be late. Hurry up and finish your food" My mom said.

Taemin's POV

-school-

(lunch break)

We, the SHINee boys are in the cafeteria and having our lunch.

I am planning to give Onew Hyung his prize.

I give up.

I really can't continue.

I know, I wouldn't be able to make her like me.

And I don't want.........

to..

hurt her.

----

Onew Hyung was eating his favorite chicken when I approach her.

"Onew Hyung, here, take this" I said and handed him the check worth 1 million won.

"Eh? What's this? he asked.

"A check! Babo!"

"I know! but why are you giving this to me??"

"That's your prize for winning the bet" I said.

"Mwoh?? But it's not yet over right?"

"I know~ but I give up. I can't continue doing the bet."

"Wae??"

"Making her like me is so impossible Hyung! She will never ever like me or any other guy"

"Arasso. Thanks fo this! I can buy lots of chicken with this!" Onew said happily.

"Yah, Hyung you are such a chicken maniac!" Key said.

"He will be able to survive by just eating chicken" Minho said.

I just shook my head in disbelief. 1 million won for chicken??

That's horrible!.

NO.

It's unbelievable.

=========

Your POV

Seohyun and I are having our lunch at the cafeteria.

The SHINee boys are also there.

I sighed.

Now, I don't know what to think of them.

They are happily eating.

Laughing.

What if they are talking about me?? If they are making fun of me again?

"Yah! Hwang _______! Are you still on earth?? I keep on talking here but it seems that you have your own world..." Seohyun said

"Mian~ I'm just thinking of something. So what are you telling me a while ago?"

"Never mind~ It's not important anyway~"

"Ohh..Arasso"

"What's wrong with you?"

"ME?? Why?I'm fine...."

"Your fine? Are you sure? Look at yourself. Ever since you come to school this morning, you seemed to be not in yourself"

"I'm fine Seohyun...I was just stress.."

"Stress?? That's new! You never get strssed _____! Is it because of Taemin?"

I nodded.

"Tutoring him is so hard??"

I shook my head.

"Then why?"

Then I tell her about the bet....

And you know what's her reaction???

"I envy you ______".

"MWOH?? Are you crazy??"

"Look _____. You said, it's not his idea plus he told it to you personally. It only means he care for you"

"Whatever Seohyun."

Taemin's POV

Tutorials

So ______ and I met at the school gate.

That's are daily routine! (LOL)

We wait each other at the school gate then go to their house together.

But today is different.

She's not talking to me.

She just nods when I'm asking her.

[_____'s house]

I sat from one of their couch and talk to her.

"Before we start, I want to say sorry again. Don't worry about the bet, it's over. I already gave Onew Hyung his prize." I said.

"And what's his prize?" she asked.

"1 million won"

"WHAAAAAAAAT???? 1 million won?? That's almost my 6 months allowance!.

He chuckled.

"I gave it to him since I lose the bet."

"So, my feelings and my humanity is worth 1 million won"

"Yah!. Don't say that!. You're priceless. I mean, Everyone is priceless."

"But it's still 1 million won!. You shoud've said to me that,that is the price of your bet!"

"For what?"

"I could have just pretended that I like you. Anyway, nevermind what I have said. I forgot, you're rich!..1 million won is not a big amount for you".

He sighed." Forget about the bet. It's over. Let's just pretend that nothing happens" I said.

"Do you think it's easy to pretend that nothing happens?. Maybe for you it's easy but for me, IT IS NOT!"

"Ok, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry!..Do I have to kneel in front of you so that you can forgive me?"

"As if you can do~"

I was serious when I said that I will kneel in front of her if it's really needed. I don't like when people are mad at me.

I know I was wrong, but I regret everything.

So, I stand up and kneel in front of her.

Her expression was priceless.

Shocked.

"I'm really sorry Hwang _____. Please forgive me" I said with puppy eyes.

"Yah! Will you stand up!! Ok. I forgive you!"

I stand up and rejoice like a little child from happiness.

"Since I already forgive you. Can we start studying now?? We have wasted lots of minutes with this." she said.

"Arassooo~~ I said happily."

=============

No One's POV

Everything went back to normal.

You feel relieve that he was really sincere in apologizing to you.

Both of you studied very well.

Taemin was very good in joking around that makes you laugh.

But you didn't know that your Mother was there and she had saw everything.

"They really look cute together. I guess Taemin didn't want to hurt her at all. Maybe, he cared a lot for her."
