Minki's POV

Something weird is going on...I don't really want to think Jonghyun's gay....but it certainly looks like it. During the movie until now, Jonghyun has been clinging onto Zelo like a bashful girlfriend. Now, we are hanging around in the ice cream store for a snack, and he still is clinging onto Zelo.

Girls surrounding us looked us with hearts in their eyes...as usual... Some of them even started whispering about us. I heard Zelo's name and BAP floating around in all that woman gossip that was surrounding us.

"Zelo-ah~ You're so cute~ <3" Jonghyun cooed as he pinched Zelo's cheek when Zelo frowned. Haha! Karma jerk!! That's what you get for annoying me at school! I saw Zelo turn into a pale shade of green.

"GET OFF OF ME, YOU PERV! WHAT IF THE PAPARAZZI SEES THIS AND THINKS I'M GAY?! I'M NOT GAY YOU IDIOT!! YOU ARE!!!" he bursted out...

"Oooohh- someone's mad," I muttered. Zelo spun around and glared at me. 

"You! Come with me!!" he commanded as he dragged me...outside. Why do we always have to discuss things outside?

"Why? Can't we talk in here?" I retorted. Zelo gave me a look that suggested that he was talking about my secret.

"Oh," I sighed, and followed hiim out. On the way out, I heard girls whispering to each other, 

"Who's that? Is that his girlfriend?" 

"You pabo! How that Zelo have a girlfriend? Also, that's a guy!"

"But he's too pretty!" 

"It's a guy! Look! He doesn't have boobs!" 

.....I can hear you people....and that last comment hurt.

I left the shop and faced Zelo. 

"What?" I demanded. He looked at me annoyingly.

"So let me get this straight. You live with four other guys, and one of them is gay?" Zelo huffed out. Gay? ...Hm...maybe, depending on what I saw today.

"Who knows?" I shrugged, "Maybe Jonghyun's just screwing with you, because you know, your SO CUUTE~ <3!!" I mimicked Jonghyun's high-pitched tone, and pinched Zelo's cheeks real hard.

"Hey! Stop it!" Zelo complained and grabbed my wrist, making me put my back to the wall."It's dangerous living with four guys, you know, minus the gay one." Zelo tilted his head toward the door to the icecream shop.

"Hey! You know another one of them! Minhyun!" I cried out, hissing because Zelo was gripping my wrist real tight. I jerked it out of his hand.

"Yeah! But the other two are probably really pervy! You don't know what guys are like! Inside, they're secretly all pervy!" Zelo protested. Well...he wasn't entirely wrong...Dongho was pretty weird...in fact, I don't even consider him a pervert anymore, much less a man, but my hesitation signaled that something had happened.

"See! I told you! They're all pervy!!" Zelo squinted in dismay. Why does he care anyways?

"Pervy people like you?" I lifted an eyebrow. 

"ARRGH!!!" Zelo grumbled in frustration. "CAN'T YOU SEE I'M TRYING TO PROTECT YOU?!" He punched the wall next to my head.

"WHAT THE HE!L, MAN?!" I jumped in fright. Zelo just stayed quiet and looked at me.

"I need to go....Yongguk-hyung is probably wondering where I am now," he said quietly as he walked away, leaving me wondering what the heck was wrong with him. 

I feel kind of bad...I mean I guess I was kind of harsh. Annoyed and exhausted, I sat down on the side walk, leaning against the wall.

Jonghyun's POV

Minki's taking a really long time outside with Zelo...it can't be...they're making out?! I looked out the window, but I couldn't see them. Where are they?!

In my haste, I swung open the door. 

Smack! 

What the-!

"Oww..." I heard Minki groan. What the heck was she doing standing by the door? She could've been shish-kibob if I hadn't controlled my strength. I looked around and noticed Zelo was gone. DANG IT!!! WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO MY SOURCE OF ENTERTAINMENT!!

"What's wrong with you, Jonghyun?!" Minki groaned, nursing her nose. She looked a bit teary and frustrated.

"Sorry! Where's Zelo?" I asked, looking around. Minki gave me a weird look.

"Don't tell me you're actually gay?!" 

I stared at her. 

"Do I look gay?" I gasped in horror. She gave no response, and instead just stared at me.

"Nah, I'm not gay, arraso?" I flicked her head, and I saw a tear trickle down her cheek. 

"What's wrong?" I asked, feeling awkward. First of all, I don't know how to cheer a girl up. Second of all, how do you cheer a girl up who's pretending to be a guy? Without any solution, I just stood like a beansprount, awkward and uncertain.  

"No, nothing," she replied, wiping the tear away, "my eyes are a bit dry."

Yeah right. I sighed, must be some girl problems. 

"I don't know what's happened, Zelo's gone, and it's getting pretty late. We should go get that pack of chocolates for boss and head back to the company," I said in a business-like tone.    

"Yeah."
