It's been an hour since I talked to Jihoon. Kyung sat awkwardly in my living room playing on his phone, while Zico sat on the ottoman looking out the window, his expression changed from pissed to hurt. He had been sitting there since we got back. Sungmin went back to his apartment to get ready to visit his parents. Taewoon and Nina were playing some board game that she had found.

Other then the small chatter coming from the living area, it was quiet. No one said a word. I was in the kitchen making lunch when a ruckus could be heard from the front door.

"What the hell Minhyuk!?" A familiar voice shouted. Making my way to the living room I see not one, not two, but four people standing in my hallway.

"HEY CUTIE~" Jaehyo sang running up to me and pulling me into a tight hug. I patted his back while looking over his shoulder and saw Minhyuk, Taeil, and Yu-Kwon.

"What are you guys doing here?" I asked wiggling out of Jaehyos grip.

"We came to see you of course." Jaehyo said. He looked around then spotted Kyung and Zico. "Yah! Where the hell have you been!?" He yelled walking up to Zico.

Minhyuk stands beside me putting an arm around my shoulder, leading me to the kitchen. When we stopped he sat me on the counter. He looked me in the eye and raised a brow.

"What?" I asked confused.

"Kyung text me."

"And?"

"Why would you go see Jihoon!?" He shouted suddenly.

"Would you keep it down," I said covering his mouth with my hand. "He said he wanted to talk."

"Who wanted to talk?" Taewoon asks walking into the kitchen, grabbing a few cups and a carton of juice from the refrigerator. I stayed quiet, leaning back and resting my head against the cabinet.

"Jihoon." Minhyuk answered him. I looked at him with wide eyes. Taewoon dropped everything in his hands on the counter and started shouting.

"Why didn't you tell me!? When did this happen!? What did he say to you!?" Everyone that was in the living room now filled the kitchen, curious to what the shouting was about.

"Why didn't she tell you what?" Yu-Kwon asked.

"That Jihoon came to talk to her," Yu-Kwons expression darkened. "And she went by herself." Minhyuk finished. Everyone had their eyes on me. Taeil and Jaehyo looked surprised. Kyung had this worried expression while Zico just stared at me blankly. Nina perked up at the sound of her brothers name.

"What did he want to talk about?" Taeil asked quietly. I stayed silent as they all watched me waiting for me to answer. Their stares started to make me uncomfortable, causing me shift in my seat and cross my legs.

"Fine! Will you all just stop staring at me!" I took in a deep breath before speaking. "He wanted to talk about me and him,"

"YOU GUYS AREN'T TOGETHER!" Taewoon, Minhyuk, and Yu-Kwon screamed shocking all of us and startling Nina. She raised her arm up to Kyung, who just happened to be the closest to her, he picked her up and walked to the living room.

"Okay, You three didn't even let me finish."

"So finish." Taewoon said folding his arms over his chest.

"He also wanted to talk about Nina, but that topic didn't last long."

"Who's Nina?" Jaehyo asked. I pointed in the direction that her and Kyung went. "The little monkey?" I nodded.

"She's Jihoons little sister." Him and Taeil nodded. "She's going to be staying with me until her parents come back to Korea."

"And when is that?" Minhyuk asked leaning on the counter next of me.

"Not for another 2 weeks." I said sighing deeply. "I still need to talk to her."

"You can do that later when we're all gone. Now tell us what Jihoon said about you and him." Yu-Kwon said in a stern voice. I looked to Zico then to Taewoon.

"He said that he still loved me and he wasn't going to let you two get in between us," I clicked my tongue and continued. "He also said it's Taewoons fault that we broke up."

"Well it is, isn't it?" A voice spoke up. We all turned our attention to Zico, who was leaning against the wall with his hands in his pockets and glare directed to me and his brother.

"No. It isn't." I said flatly.

"So Jihoon lied?" He asked skeptically.

"Probably. Did you not see the whisky bottle that was on the ground next to him?" He shrugged his shoulders. His attitude was beginning to piss me off. "What exactly did he tell you?"

"That you slept with my brother." He said without hesitation.

"Yea, so?" The color in his face drained and everyone looked at me with shocked looks. "What? It's not like I knew, I was fast asleep." I said defending myself. The guys looked at one another, confused by what I said. Taewoons face was as red as red could be.

"I don't think that's what he meant." Minhyuk whispered to me. He whispered in my ear what Zico had meant by 'slept'. My cheeks instantly got hot. I grabbed the closest thing next to me, which happens to be the juice carton, and whipped it towards Zico hitting him in the chest.

"Are you CRAZY!? T-That's.... That's. EW!" I jumped off the counter and started pacing back on forth. "We didn't sleep like THAT. We just slept in the same BED! With CLOTHES ON! And that's IT!"

Zico's POV

"So you two didn't-"

"EW! Oh my god NO! That's gross!" She shouted.

"Hey! Can you not insult me like that?" My brother said looking slightly hurt by her words. I felt this wave of relief wash over me as I watched her. She had stopped pacing and was now standing in the middle of the kitchen, face red and looking down while pouting. I walked up to her and patted her head. "I'm sorry." She looks up, her eyes narrowing in on me.

"I shouldn't have listened to him."

"You think?" She said annoyed. I gave an awkward smile and laugh as she glared at me. "Did he say anything else?"

I thought for a moment then nodded. "He said I better back off." I said with a smirk. "The same goes for you Hyung."

"Me?" Jiseok exaggeratedly gasped putting his hand to his chest and throwing his head back.

"I don't get why he would say that." She said leaning on the counter. I looked at her surprised.

So she hadn't noticed?






Kyung and I were on our way back to our apartment. After we decided that if any of us saw Jihoon around Diana we would intervene. She wasn't quite sure if she wanted us to always keep an eye on her but no one let her talk us out of it. It was now 9. We spent our time at her place. I waited for the day we could hang out but I always imagined that it would just be her and me. But spending that time was still good.

Walking into our apartment I head straight to my room. I grab a pair of sweats and head to the bathroom. After stepping out I looked in the mirror. I had a red mark on chest. Putting my hand to it I smile to myself.

"Damn."
