"Hey Minyoung? Can I come in?" He asked. "It's weird talking to the door." He added.

The thought of him seeing me with dried black tears surrounding my eyes and red lipstick smeared all around my mouth because I had cried, scared me.

"I look ugly right now." I said not hiding the truth.

"I don't care." He immediately said. "I know you're super ugly when you cry."

"Well thanks!" I said sarcastically.

He chuckled. "You're ugly but you'll always beautiful to me."

My cheeks heated up as my heart beated faster than normal at his words.

"So can I come in?" He asked whiningly.

"Aish. Arraseo." I said giving in.

I reluctantly opened my bedroom door to see Kai standing on the other side with a heart-warming smile.

"You don't look so bad but go wash your face you look like a mess. I'll wait here for you to come back then we can talk. I have something else I wanted to tell you." He said with a pure and genuine smile.

"Okay." I said and then gave him a weak smile.

I walked past him and into the bathroom. There was only one bathroom that we had to share, sadly.

The very moment that I had went into the bathroom and saw myself in the mirror. I wanted to faint.

Kai saw me like this.

"Ahhhhhhhh!" I screamed at the embarrassment.

My hair was a mess. My eyes and cheeks had the makeup of my eyeliner smeared everywhere along with my lipstick that reached up to my nose.

I looked awful.

And to my horror Kim Jongin came rushing in at the sound of my voice. He didn't even think twice as to whether or not to open the door.

"Wae? Qwenchena?" He asked quickly as he scanned me up and down with worry in his eyes.

My eyes never meant his as it was looking down in embarrassment.

I bit my bottom lip and thought to my meself.

Why do I always embarrass myself?

Kai chuckled, "Don't worry, it's only me."

I looked up at him with an annoyed look. "Aish! I said that out loud."

"It's okay. I find it cute noona."

I blew at my bangs and scrunched up my nose as an annoyed look.

"But seriously, what happened?"

"Aish, just get out! This is embarrassing enough. Oh and next time, Jongin, knock! I could be naked next time, you know?!" I said angrily.

"Minyoung. Naked?" He then contorted his face as he eyed my body.

I instinctively wrapped my arms around my chest area and yelled, "yah Kim Jongin! Are picturing me naked?"

He just smiled and then gave me a short wink as he shut the door.

. . .

I had cleaned myself up and went back into my bedroom to see Kai lying on my bed. I plopped myself down right next to him as he acknowledged me with a smile.

"Baekhyun, that's his name right?" Jongin suddenly asked.

"Yah! Why do you keep bringing him up?"

"You know that Baekhyun is actually living right across from us, right?"

My eyes widened as I sat up to look at Kai to see if he was joking or not. "Bwoh?" I asked.

He can't be living next door! I don't want to see him ever again.

"You didn't really come outside the whole week, so I guess that's why you wouldn't know. I actually saw him as we had coincidently both opened the door at the same time." He explained.

I don't want to see Baekhyun again after I saw him today. Why does he have to live next door?!

"Jinja? Yah, then why didn't you tell me?" I asked curious.

"I didn't know you knew who he was. I didn't know of your relationship at the time."

"Ahhh! Now it's going to be easier for us to coincidentally run into each other! I don't want to see him ever again!"

"Minyoung. I don't want you to cry again but I think it would be better if I told you now then later when you find out yourself."

"Hmm?"

"The thing is, he's not rooming with anyone from Luhan's group. He's actually with a girl, I thought you should know."

My face contorted with anger and mixed-feelings.

"It's the same girl at the party too." He added.

I instantly knew who that was and pictured her as she placed her 10 layered of lipstick on Baekhyun. "That freaking dyed-blonde girl." I yelled in anger.

How could Baekhyun? It's only been like a month and he's off starting a new relationships. We were together for 5 years! 5 YEARS! Did our relationship mean nothing to him?

"Yeah that girl. Her name is Jung Dahye."

"That girl sure is- Aish! How could he just- urgh!" I honestly felt like breaking something right now. "Yah, but Kim Jongin. How do you know her name?"

"I don't want to lie to you or keep anything secrets from you so I'll gonna be honest with you from the very beginning."

"You don't have to. We only known each other for like 4 days. You can tell me later on."

"Oddly I don't want to keep anything from you."

"Okay then tell me."

"I didn't really give you a reason when you asked me why I had kissed you."

"Isn't it because you felt bad for me?"

He shook his head. "Honestly, I didn't know how you felt. I didn't look at you while you were staring at Baekhyun. I was too busy looking at them, Baekhyun and Dahye. Dahye, she used to be. Well she and I. We used to be in a um."

"You guys used to date?"

"Err well yeah. I don't know why but I just got really mad and well you were the only girl there."

I bit my lip understanding.

"I'm sorry for um touching your lips without your um permission."

I chuckled at his cuteness. He said lips touching instead of the k word which was kissing. How immature?

"It's okay, I don't mind" I said. "And you know what? Thank you." I then gave him a weak eye smile.

"For what, noona?" He asked furrowing his eyebrows.

"Even though you didn't know about me and Baekhyun at that time, I'm glad you kissed me. If you didn't I think I would've done something stupid that would've embarrassed myself."

He smiled. "I'm glad you're not mad at me then."

I smiled back. "Why would I be? We're in the same boat after all. We're both infuriated exes."
