"Kyungsoon! Stop! I don't want to hurt your feelings! But I don't want to waste mine. I like someone else.", Mingi dropped the bags and grabbed Kyungsoon's arms.

"It's Yunho isn't it?", she asked. Mingi looked at her and his face softened.

"Yes...and I love him so much. I don't want him to get out of my life, he's too important for me.", Mingi answered, sighing.

"But he's a boy! You don't like boys! You can't like boys!", Kyungsoon shouted.

"You don't have the right to choose who or what I should love.", Mingi answered coldly, he walked away leaving the crying woman.

"If you choose him...The whole world will know how disgusting you are. You're a celebrity right? Look how I can ruin your image.", she shouted. Mingi stopped walking and gave a fake smile.

"Whatever you will do can't stop me from choosing the person I love. Try your best to ruin my image. Look how desperate you are, you sound like a spoiled brat.", Mingi crossed his arms and looked at her.

"It's your reputation on the line. I'm a no one, but you are someone known al around the world.", she defended.

"I'm surrounded by people who support me. I don't care if the whole world would go against me, as long as I'm happy with the person I love.", Mingi turned around and walked away.

"I hate you Mingi!", Kyungsoon shouted at the top of her lungs.

Mingi sighed as he stood in front of their dorm door. He knew what he would be facing once he opens it. The members really cared about one another and they were sure to notice if something happened.

"You can do this.", Mingi took a deep breath and opened the door.

He was greeted by a sight of all the members sitting on the living room, everyone except Yunho.

"Why did Yunho come home looking so lifeless?", Hongjoong gave a look to Mingi.

"There's no welcome home?", Mingi tried to lighten up the mood.

"How was your trip? Did she like korea?", Seonghwa softly asked, patting the seat beside him.

"Yeah..she did.", Mingi slowly sat down.

"What happened?", San asked, a small smile on his face.

"We bought a lot of things...nothing much exciting.", Mingi still didn't give them a glance.

"Now...tell us why Yunho came home with red eyes.", Jongho asked, straight to the point.

"I just think that he got a misunderstanding...you see, Kyungsoon confessed to me and hugged me. I guess Yunho didn't hear everything.", Mingi looked up.

"Do you like her?", Wooyoung asked. Mingi immediately shook his head.

"No. No. Never.", Mingi shook his hands. The members all nodded.

"You should probably explain it to him first. But you know how hard it is to talk to him when he's really upset.", Hongjoong patted Mingi's back.

"U-uh..we have one more problem.", Mingi murmured. The members all looked at him.

"What is it?", Seonghwa asked.

"She plans to post on SNS that I like Yunho and she might make a story or drama about it?", Mingi scratched his nape.

"Oh I hate that bitch! She's getting in my nerves right now.", Yeosang sat up and crossed his arms.

"The problem is that Mingi and Yunho will be exposed...we have to prepare ourselves with what would happen.", Hongjoong wiped his face, frustratedly.

"What would you say if they ask about you and Yunho?", Jongho cautiously asked.

"I would say yes...but I actually haven't asked him out yet.", Mingi sighed.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

"Yunho...", Mingi softly called out.

There was no response. Yunho was lying on his own bed, wrapping himself with the blanket. He didn't want to utter a single word to Mingi. He was really hurt with what he saw.

"Look, I just want to say sorry about earlier...nothing happened between me and Kyungsoon. Even if she said she likes me...I told her that I liked someone else.", Mingi continued to talk.

"I'm sure that you are still hurting with what you saw...but I promise you, no one could take your place in my life. I'll give you some space and time.", Mingi glanced at Yunho who was facing the other side.

- October 19, Monday -

"Mingi, come here for a minute.", their manager called out. Mingi glanced at the members and they gave an assuring nod.

"Mingi..I'm sure you know why I called you.", their Manager said as Mingi sat on the chair in a meeting room.

"Yes. I suppose I do.", Mingi answered. There were only 2 journalists in the room, but they were part of a big online group that gives reports about k-industry.

"Kyungsoon, who claimed herself as your friend, started another rumor in an SNS about your relationship with Yunho and about your sexuality.", one journalist said.

"She has been my childhood friend..but i cut off ties with her once she threatened me about Yunho and about my love life.", Mingi answered without hesitation.

"Is there something going on between you and Yunho?", the other journalist asked.

"We aren't dating yet...but we have mutual feelings for each other. I don't have anything to deny.", Mingi said.

"So what you're saying is everything she said about you and Yunho is true? How about your sexuality? She stated here that you're gay.", a journalist read the post.

"I'm not gay...but yes, I do like a boy and his name is Yunho. I'm not sure if I could fall for other boys.", Mingi looked at them with determination.

"Thank you for your statement.", they both said.

"Can you do me a favor though?", Mingi asked. The journalist looked at each other and nodded.

"Is it ok if you will post my statement after our anniversary concert? I don't want this to stir up and make some changes in our schedule.", Mingi asked.

"Of course, we understand your concern.", one of them said.

"And one more thing.", Mingi blurted.

"Please clearly state that we have mutual feelings and are dating each other.", Mingi said. The journalists looked at each other confused and looked at the manager, only to be replied with a shrug.

"Thank you for your time. I should go back and practice now.", Mingi bowed and left the meeting room.
