Malcolm's POV
I left the dorm room with Hyunjin following me.
"Uh, those reporters out there will be all over you. What are you thinking?" He asked as we stood infront of the door of our room.
"I'll just have to get through somehow" I said before walking but Hyunjin stopped me as he grabbed the handle of my suitcase.
"Mal, why don't you just ride it out? You didn't do anything wrong. They'll figure it out eventually, and-"
"Forget it" I cut him off
"I'm so over all of this. I don't wanna talk about it. I'll just feel worse" I sighed.
"Hyung!" Jeongin called as he walked towards us with a very huge bag in his hand.
"Get in" He smiled as we looked at the bag in his hands.
"What's that?" I asked.
"What else? This is a life boat, hyung. We will put you in it and carry you out" He replied.
"He won't be able to fit in there" Hyunjin said.
"I tested it already. Hyung may be slightly bigger than I am but he'll definitely fit in here" Jeongin said and I looked at him unamused.
He opened the bag and we looked inside and the two looked at me which made me sigh as I had no choice.
Guess I'm doing this
Minju's POV
Chaeyeon and I walked through the hallways as we headed towards the entrance of the dorm building. She wore her 'security guard' outfit as she accompanied me.
I took a deep and released it as we went out. I was immediately met with flashes and sounds of camera clicking.
"Minju! Kim Minju!" The reporters shouted which made the other reporters crowd around me.
They held out their microphones and took lots of photos as I stood infront of them.
"Hello, I'm Kim Minju" I introduced.
"As you can see, I'm in Korea right now. I started this semester and I live here in this campus dorm" I added.
"Why did you come secretly? Is there a special reason?" A reporter asked.
"There's no special reason. I just wanted to study as an ordinary student like everyone and I could have been a distraction for other students" I replied.
"What's your relationship with the mysterious guy?" The same reporter asked.
"Well..." I paused and took a deep breath as I looked at the crowd.
"Are you two going out? He's your boyfriend, or no?" The reporter added.
"Or is he just a friend?" Another reporter added.
"No, he isn't just a friend to me. We really are dating" I replied which made everyone gasp as well as have little talks among them.
No more turning back
"I actually like him a lot. I liked him first, and he's suffering from this because of me" I added.
"Hold on! Stop! Open up!" I heard a familiar voice yell out which made me me look behind me.
"Open up. Let me out. Open up" The voice in the bag Jeongin and Hyunjin was carrying said.
This got the attention of the reporters as well as they all looked at the bag too.
"What's his name?"
"Is that coming from there?"
My eyes went wide as Malcolm emerged from the bag as Hyunjin and Jeongin helped him get out.
"Who is that?"
"No! That's not true! It's not true!" He shouted as he went to me.
"I'm the one in the picture with her. As an RA, I help her because she's an international student. There's nothing between us. We're not going out" He rambled as I looked at him with confusion before looking back at the crowd.
"That's not true! I like him! I like-" I got cut off as he put his hand on my mouth.
"See, she didn't really mean that" He chuckled, nervously.
"It's true! Look at this!" I said before pulling out the picture of my forearm with the thing he wrote and raised for everyone to see.
"I belong to him! I belong to Hwang Malcolm!" I yelled out while Malcolm tried to get it off my hand.
"Have you gone mad?" He asked in disbelief.
"Why can't you say that I'm yours? Why can't I say that I'm yours, that I belong to Hwang Malcolm?" I yelled at him which made the crowd quiet.
"What's wrong with her?"
"She's so cheesy"
"The university just said that they'll give an official statement. They'll hold a press conference in front of the office in ten minutes. You can go there" The reporter announced.
"Let's go"
"We should hurry"
"Let's go before he talks"
Malcolm's POV
-Time Skip-
We were all now at the lobby again as we watched the press conference at the television.
"This is what we just received from Park Shin Hye in the United States" He paused.
"Park Shin Hye's personal account was hacked last week and subsequently, personal and confidential documents were leaked by unknown sources" He explained.
"The paparazzi who obtained these documents found out that Kim Minju was in Korea, so they came here to investigate and get the first scoop" He finished.
Minju's mom, Park Shin Hye, then appeared in the screen to say what she needs to say as well.
"Minju has always been in the center of attention that she didn't want, only because her mother is known to the public. And I wanted to give her the chance of living an ordinary life in a place where she was born" She said.
"I would like to sincerely ask all of you, as a mother, to help my daughter to live an ordinary, peaceful life. And my gratitude to Minju's boyfriend, Hwang Malcolm" She said as a smile couldn't help but form on my face and Minju smirking at me didn't help.
"And all the other friends who have helped her so much. Thank you" She finished which made the others clap.
"Right. Minju, Malcolm. What's up with you two? What were you doing earlier?" Han asked as we looked at him.
"As someone who was there, I don't wanna think about it again" Hyunjin says in disgust as he throws popcorn at us.
"Just thinking about it makes me want to barf" Jeongin complained.
"I'm yours. Why can't you say I'm yours?" Jeongin imitated.
"Come on" Hyunjin cringed as he pushed Jeongin away from him.
"Why can't you say I belong to you?" Jeongin added.
"Yah! Stop it, guys" I told them.
"Come on, tell us. You going out or not?" Chaewon asked.
"No! Seriously! We are not!" I denied.
"You guys know that I never date anyone, right?" I asked them and they just stayed quiet.
"Definitely not dating" I added.
"Yes, we are going out" Minju smiled.
"Yah! We are not dating!" I said as I covered her mouth and she laughed.
I removed my hand from her mouth and saw her smiling widely and I rolled my eyes at her.
Whatever
