Can't Win

The Mall and Memories

Kim Yi Cheol POV:

All my friends walked to the mall, as I walked behind. "Hey is everything alright?", asked Hyunjin.

"Well, you broke up with me", I joked.

"Hahaha", he said, faking all of it. "I mean between you and you know who". He looked at Minho in front of us talking to Seungmin.

"Well, nothing much really", I said.

Hyunjin didn't look convinced. "Hey Minho hyung, I want to talk to Seungmin", said Hyunjin, pushing Minho to the back next to me. Minho groaned but then noticed me.

"Hey", he said.

I blushed red. "Yeah?".

"Do my words affect you so much that you can't help but blush?", he asked. We're not friends anymore.

"You wish", I said, mastering the courage to push him away which I did to his dismay.

"Okay, if you say so", he said, holding my hand.

I blushed more. "Whatever".

We all arrived at the mall. We were walking until one aisle caught Minho's eye. "Kimchi, remember this aisle?", he asked. "It was our first kiss".

"What?", gasped Chan. "You guys kissed?".

"It was by accident. Minho hyung is really competitive of hide and seek so they thought if they stood like that, then we wouldn't recognize them. But Minho moved forward and kissed Yi Cheol hyung for 0.9 seconds", said Jeongin.

Hyunjin gasped. "How do you know all of this?".

"I told him", I said.

"I wouldn't mind kissing you again", said Minho, making me blush bright red and everyone groaned in disgust.

"Let's go shopping", said Felix, as everyone went their own way.

"Meet me back here", said Chan, as he decided to look after the cart.

Minho and I went shopping in our own direction. "So what should we get?", he asked, pressuring the 'we'.

"It's not we", I said, rolling my eyes.

"I like to think that", he said.

"But that's a good question, what should we get?", I asked.

"Ah ha. You said it. We", he said. I rolled my eyes again.

An hour later everyone regrouped Chan near the shopping cart. As we were paying, Chan looked at me. "Why didn't you guys buy anything?".

"Well we didn't need anything", I said.

"I swear they were making out in between the aisles", said Seungmin, causing Felix to snicker and make me blush.

We all began walking home. Minho's house was first so he was gone. "So, you know. I might tell him", I said.

"Tell who?", asked Hyunjin.

"Minho, you know. How I feel", I said.

"Well, if you do it then I'll tell Minju", said Hyunjin.

"Deal", I said, with a smile.

"So how are you going to tell him?", asked Changbin.

"You can't just say yes", said Jisung. "That'll be weird".

"Ooh. I know. Ask him out. Then while walking home why don't you tell him", suggested Felix.

"Good idea", I said, as I entered my house, and waved to everyone. "Noona, I have an idea", I said.

"What is it?", Jisoo asked. She knew all about how Minho told me how I felt and all.

"I'll say yes", I said, confidently.

"But if he breaks your heart, don't hesitate to gaslight him back", said Jisoo, as I merely rolled my eyes.

"Of course you'd know", I said.
