Food and Them

Chapter 25: Make it public?

"Sally, do you think Sandy will withstand the hate she may get if we were to be in a relationship?" asks TOP.

Everybody at the dinner table went quiet. JiYong is staring at TOP. Sally just smiles looking at their reaction.

"Well...are you going to make it public?" asks Sally.

"I want the whole world to know that I found somebody to love but I do not want them to hate her," explains TOP.

"Please do not risk it,TOP!!"

Everybody turn and look at JiYong. He stands up and left the table. TOP sighs and looks sadly at the rest. Sally pats his shoulder and asks them to continue eating. B2ST oppa just kept quiet and look at Sally.

"Aigooo! All of you calm down. I should be the one being scared now as I am going to face the lion," jokes Sally.

She sighs. She turns to see YoSeob and DooJoon following her. She frowns.

"We just want to keep JiYong and you safe," says DooJoon.

Sally found JiYong outside the restaurant smoking. She approaches him quietly. She do not know what to say. She looks at him.

"I know you are going to nag at me," says JiYong.

"No! Are you okay?" asks Sally.

JiYong keeps quiet and throw his cigarette. DooJoon and YoSeob stood there quietly.

"Sally, I do not want your good friend to get hurt. The fan can get so crazy about it and pass negative remarks. I do not want to jeopardize our friendship and Sandy's heart."

Sally sighs because she do not want Sandy to be heartbroken.

"You can't stop love from blooming but it's hard to be like normal couple," says DooJoon.

"Yah! Let's stop being negative. Some fans may hate the news but true blue fans will rejoice that we choose to be normal!" says Yoseob light heartedly.

All of them smile at his comment. Sally puts up her hands to hi-five Yoseob.

"I am hungry!!! Let's go back,please!" says Sally.

Sally whispers Thank you to Yoseob while on the way back to the restaurant. DooJoon walks with JiYong and they are talking like chingus. The reataurant is secluded and not many people visits the place; that's why they can act freely. Soon,the two groups will be busy overseas. The thought of it makes her sad. The contract will end soon and it will be hard to see the boys.

"Hyung!" the panic DongWoon running towards them.

He pulls DooJoon's arm. All of them started running. They can hear somebody shouting frantically inside. DooJoon and JiYong run faster that DongWoon.

"SURPRISEEEEEE!!!!!!"

All of them pop the party poppers. DooJoon and JiYong are startled. They scan the room and count their members. Both of them smile widely and bow down.

"YAHHHHH!!All of you make me run for nothing!" complains Sally.

"Hahaha! Mianhae Sally! But what I said about Sandy is not an act," says TOP.

Sally smiles while panting. YoSeob rubs her back.
