AN; Ahmahgahd so much pressure! -.-" Whenever I first started writing this, I never though I'd have so many people wanting to read this...I really am amazed.

Well. Like always, please enjoy!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa....WHOA! Red light! Move away, move away NOW!

Kerushii put her hads on L.Joe's shoulders to stop him gently. Fortunately enough, he got the hint and pulled away. He wouldn't meet Kerushii's eyes.

"I-i'm sorry...I probably shouldn't have-" He started, rubbing the back of his neck in embarrasment.

"No, it's not that." Kerushii interrupted him. "Well...it IS that but...it's just...I, um, I don't think I'm ready to, uh...I-I mean, I'm still getting over the whole thing with Sergio and...if...if I decide anything now then I'll probably end up...regretting it....later..."

A heavy silence fell between L.Joe and Kerushii.

"I didn't mean to insult you or anything-" Kerushii added quickly but L.Joe cut her off.

"No, no, I- I understand..." Finally, he looked up at Kerushii. "I'll just wait till you're ready then." A smile formed on his face, but it was a sad smile. Kerushii instantly felt a pang of guilt running through her.

"I'll...see you later." L.Joe said before turning around and disappearing inside the building.

Kerushii let out a deep breath she didn't know she was holding and slid down the wall into sitting position.

Why is my life so complicated...?

Kerushii peeked over the doorframe into Changjo's and Niel's bedroom.

Changjo was there, playing on the computer. Niel was nowhere to be seen.

"Say, um...Changjo?" Kerushii asked shyly. "Could I, um, talk to you for a minute?"

Changjo looked up from the computer and smiled at Kerushii.

"Of course. Come in." Changjo told her with a smile. Kerushii came in, closing the door behind her. She shyly walked over to where Changjo was sitting on his bed and sat down on the floor with her back against Niel's bed.

"So." Changjo spoke. "What's eatin' ya?"

"Well..." Kerushii had no idea why she decided to talk about this to Changjo but he just seemed like the right person. Like he would understand. "My...friend has this problem..."

Friend? Why am I so lame...?

"Yeah?" Changjo raised his eyebrows, he obviously wasn't buying the whole 'friend' thing.

"This one guy...he, um,...he kissed her...a few times..." Kerushii continured hesitentaly, feeling her cheeks heating up with every passing minute.

"Well, does she like the guy?" Changjo asked, abandoning the laptop on the other side of the bed and re-positioning himself so he was sitting cross-legged on the bed.

"Well...she said she's not sure but...yeah, I think she does." Kerushii answered after thinking it over.

"So what's the problem then?" Changjo  asked, tilting his head to the side.

"Well, this other guy...who she's great friends with...had...um...kissed her as well...so now she, uh, she doesn't..." Kerushii cleared her throat. "She doesn't know what to..uh...do..."

"Hmmm...." Changjo watched Kerushii closely, frowning slightly.

"Well." He spoke after a while. "I don't know much about romance and stuff but I think that if she likes the first guy more than a friend then she should tell the second guy about it." He paused. "OR, she could wait for a few weeks if she's not too sure who she likes more and then...see what she cmes up with, I guess."

Kerushii thought over this. It sounded logical enough.

"Yeah. Yeah that sounds good." Kerushii said, getting up. "I'll, uh, go and tell her then."

Changjo smiled one of those smiles that meant that he knew something you didn't. Kerushii walked over to the door to walk out of the bedroom.

"Hey Changjo?" She said over her shoulder with a smile. "Thanks."

"Anytime." Changjo smiled back.

AN; Please, please, PLEASE don't hurt me for making the chapter so short! I tried! I really tried! :'(

And Kerushii talking about her "friend" to Changjo? OMG WHEN DID I GET SO ]LAME[??? *facepalm*

...*sigh*...I feel so useless right now...I'm gonna go get some coffee...*gets up and walks to the kitchen while sulking with a pout*
