365- CHANYEOL PART 4

After that night, the two had been sweeter than chocolate, much to the amusement of their friends. But what was still a gray area was their relationship... were they friends or lovers... neither of them confirmed or deny what they are.

They smile and were undefined. So one day, Minji had a one on one talk with Chaerin as they were practicing for their Charity Ball event, they decided to do a dance number also to add another stage for the Ball.

"Unnie... are you really okay with the setup with Chanyeol-oppa?"

"Huh? What do you mean?" Chaerin asked as she was lying on her back facing the ceiling after their vigorous dance practice.

"Unnie... is Chanyeol your boyfriend or not?"

"Um...hmmmm, we haven't defined what we have right now... I know I care for him and I am thankful for him... I am closest to him and he knows who I am, the real me..." Chaerin enumerated as she closed her eyes and continued

"I hug him and meant it... I kissed him... on the cheek and meant it... and I feel like I am leaning towards loving him instead of just liking him..."

"Then how come you are not honest with yourselves and just say it...tell him you love him?" Minji urged her friend

"Minji... I maybe fierce and charismatic on stage but I am far from that when it comes to personal matters, and I don't have the courage to tell him that, although I make sure that I show him that I care for him..." Chaerin was fighting the urge to squeal in excitement and giddiness

"Unnie... you just sound like a fan girl kekekeke... just confess then... it's the modern times, you know how dense oppa is... he is slow like that!" Minji rolled her eyes upward as she urged Chaerin to do the dance practice one more time.

Justas they were practicing, in came Chanyeol together with Kyungsoo as they silently watched the girls do their thing.

"So what is the deal between you and Chaerin?" Kyungsoo nudged CHanyeol who couldn't keep his mouth closed while watching Chaerin dance.

"Huh? SHe is..." Chanyeol stopped and thought about it, what are they really?

"Man... you better figure out what you two are... a man always has to define it to make your relationship solid or else... you will always be stuck in the gray area that you are in right now... step up and confess already!" Kyungsoo patted Chanyeol's back as he waved towards Minji who was approaching them.

"Annyeong oppa!" Minji greeted as Kyungsoo hugged her.

Chanyeol was walking towards Chaerin who was wiping her sweat with a towel.

"You are practicing very hard!" Chanyeol smiled as Chaerin smiled back.

"Neh, we are adding some dance stage for the Charity Ball and it was approved by the headmaster, we need to polish it before next week!" Chaerin stated while sitting on the floor, Chanyeol joined her and sat beside her.

Kyungsoo and Minji told them that they were grabbing something to eat and left the two inside, leaving the two some alone time once again... a time to confess and sort their feelings out.

"I actually needed to tell you something..." Chaerin started as she then lifted her head to look at Chanyeol

"Me too..." Chanyeol stated in a whisper

"Oh really? Go ahead..." Chaerin smiled

"No... you go ahead..." Chanyeol insisted

"*sigh... being in the industry that I am in, I was exposed to so much in such a little time and I entered at such a young age, I was so naive back then...so many people wanted to befriend me... so many people proclaim their love me but in the end they all use me as a stepping stone for their own benefit, harsh comments came my way, all trying to put me down, bad publicty right and left... during those times I learned to protect my heart from everything that could hurt me... I would distance myself from others and build an imaginary wall so that no one could get close to me to hurt me... maybe that was the reason I was so lost lately... I couldn't find the joy of making music anymore... I was lost... and I was drowning..." Chaerin paused as she played with her shoelace with her head bowed down looking like a lost child,
