Just College

Nayeon saw Minho amongst the crowd of friends, after she'd been engaged. The ring on her middle finger burned slowly. She kept her smile through the eye contact that had ensued between them. Her fiancé whispered something to her and although she was one big lover of that tingling sensation. She didn't like it today. Maybe because of the dark eyes on her. She studied the girl beside him. She looked more like his league. Young and beautiful.

Nayeon turned away. "I am pressed. I will make it quick", she said to her fiancé, rubbing his bicep over his coat. He nodded, pecking her cheek, letting her go.

Chan was sure he had his eyes on him. He took them away for just a split nanosecond and the boy was gone. He ran over to Seolyeon who was getting comfortable with other girls around. "H-hey", he stammered and the girl gave her full attention. "Minho?. Where is he?"

Seolyeon looked around. They were talking to people just now though. "I don't know"

Chan jammed his teeth together. His eyes moved around frantically. He noted something else.

Nayeon isn't here.

Minho grabbed the girl's arm, pulling her into her dressing room. Nayeon staggered back, staring up at him with surprise etched on her features. "You cane after me"

"If that isn't obvious", Minho remarked, his sarcasm was evident. His polished louboutin shoes stepped forward and she moved back.

Nayeon looked around the empty place. It won't look good on her if someone comes through that door and sees them. Her thoughts were disrupted when Minho held her wrists with such a force that she hit her behind on the vanity in the room. He stared down at her. "Noona", he called softly.

Nayeon's fear melted. All of the memories of where he do call her that, came rushing into her head. Their times in college, in her home, in the states when he visited and in his bed. They all flashed before her very eyes.

"You looked so happy all over that man", Minho started speaking. "But are you really happy?"

Nayeon nodded. "I am. Very happy, in fact"

Minho placed his hands on the vanity, caging her in. "So you are going to get married to him?"

"Of course. That's why there is an engagement party. Next year, January 22nd, I will be tying the knot with him", Nayeon informed. "You should come with your girlfriend. We are still friends"

"Friends?", Minho scoffed. He searched through those browns that he suddenly loves even more. "Really?. That's what we are now?"

"Yes and you did get yourself a girlfriend", Nayeon cursed silently at the not so hidden bitterness.

"Ah", Minho chuckled, stepping away from her with just two steps. "So that's what this is about. Noona, she is not my girlfriend though"

"But I bet you've slept with her. You always do", Nayeon raised a perfect lined brow. He stared at her like she just saw through him. "I'm right, am I not?", she stood up straight.

Minho itched his left brow, staring down at her painted toes. "It's a long story", he murmured.

"It always is. When has it never been a long story, Lee Minho?. There is always a story, a long one"
