Do You Love Me Like The Way I Love You? || SF9

Episode 11: Still My Lady

Youngja's P.O.V.

A few days later, at dinner time.

Flashback, a day after Youngja and Chani's encounter aboard the transit bus headed to the FNC Entertainment building.

Suddenly, Chani put his hand around my wrist and pulled me close; probably out of instinct.

"Noona," he began as I quickly pulled away.

"Yah, Kang Chanhee! Just what on earth do you think you're doing?!" I exclaimed, shocked.

"Tell me, is it wrong to be like this?" He questioned of me after releasing a sigh.

"What do you mean?"

"Is it wrong for me to love you?"

"Huh?"

"Noona, I think I'm falling for you..." Chani's voice trailed off as he shyly tried to open the door to the room he shared with Jaeyoon and Zuho-ssi.

Flashback end

My eyes blinked back to reality as my older brother Minjun waved his hand in front of me. I was too busy thinking about Chani that I probably hadn't realized that my food was getting cold. Drawing my chopsticks towards my mouth, I ate the food as if I hadn't eaten anything in the past month. I wanted to stop thinking about him, but memories of him kept flooding back to me. I hate being like this. I know that I like Inseong-ssi. That's for sure, but why? Why can't I stop thinking about Chani? I shut my eyes for a slight second, opened them, and exhaled. "Hmm... What could my precious little sister be thinking?" my brother suddenly stated with a smirk. As I was busy processing my thoughts, I hadn't noticed that he had cupped his hands around my ears from behind and was talking to me concerning what I could be thinking. All I could hear was an annoying buzzing sound as he talked. "Yah, Lee Youngja!" Minjun suddenly exclaimed, noticing that I didn't really care about what he was saying or even caring about the fact that my ears were being covered by his hands. "Are you even paying any attention to me?!"

"Ah!" I said, finally waking back up to my senses. "Mianhae..." My voice trailed off as my brother and I locked eyes for a quick second. He looked at me with stern eyes, perhaps noticing that something was indeed bothering me.

"Youngja, is something bothering you?" he asked of me, concern rising in his tone. "You know if anything's bothering you, I am your older brother. I promised mom and dad that I would protect you, that I would always care for you, even if my own well being would be put at risk. Tell me, is it about a boy?"

"Oppa!" I exclaimed, face blushing as I suddenly jumped up from my seat. "It-It's nothing like that!" I was trying to deny the fact that I was really thinking about a boy, Kang Chanhee, to be exact. But, I knew that my face revealed the truth. My face was shining bright red, and as I lowered my head to avoid being embarrassed in front of my older brother, Minjun let out a sudden chuckle.

"Is that all there is to it?" he questioned, in between several laughs. "Well, I'm happy that you're growing up, Youngja. But, don't tell me it's some famous Kpop idol or anything... If it is, I definitely won't allow you to date him if he feels the same way,"

I frowned and nodded, given the fact that I had fallen for a Kpop idol. I like Inseong-ssi, but why? Why was the only boy I constantly thought about have to be Chani?

Minjun slowly glimpsed back up at me, and he too frowned.

"You mustn't fall for him," he began. "For if you do, I know that your heart will be broken. After all, being in a relationship with you would get in the way of his career. Youngja, tell me, who is this boy?"

I couldn't help but remain silent.

Chani's P.O.V.

Flashback, the day Inseong and Youngja suddenly encountered each other aboard the transit bus headed to the FNC Entertainment building.

I continued to watch them from the back of the bus. Inseong hyung and Youngja-ssi. I couldn't help but admit that they looked cute together, but why did I feel so jealous just by looking at those two. Annoyed, I wanted to break them up right then and there, but that just wouldn't have been right. Sighing, I looked out the window and reached my hand out, catching the falling cherry blossom petals as the bus drove past several buildings. My love for Youngja-ssi is just like these petals, they get captured in the invisible wind. In this case, the wind is the thought that I would be hurting Inseong hyung if I decide to get closer to her. I confessed to her, yes, but she probably doesn't remember that. Will she if I kiss her? Wait, what? Gently slapping my cheeks, I continuously began to blush. Yah! Kang Chanhee, what on earth could you possibly be thinking? There's no way you would just randomly do that! That's so unlike you! I coughed, the cold was returning. My body felt weak, it was sore from yesterday's practice. I tried my best not to let the fact that I was sick from leaking out to my Hyungs. Sniffling, I lowered my face mask, looked around to make sure that no one noticed that SF9's Chani was on board the bus, and wiped my nose with the jacket's sleeve.

The bus stopped, and I watched as a girl got on. I immediately recognized her as being one of my classmates from school. The thing was, I forgot her name. I watched as she sat next to me, as if upon intention. "Kang Chanhee," the girl whispered directly into my ear, shocking me. "Don't make it so obvious that you're staring at that couple over there," She motioned her hand in front of us, pointing at Inseong hyung and Youngja-ssi, of whom were standing at the middle of the bus, holding onto the grips above them and appeared to be having a conversation.

"Chanhee, you must be jealous, huh?" she asked of me, raising a brow. "You must be familiar with that girl. Does she go to our school?"

"Why don't you just mind your own business?" I stated, under my breath, not realizing that she had heard me.

"Omo! Kang Chanhee has gone into Emo Mode!" She giggled. "You're cute..." Her voice was too soft, that I could barely understand the last bit of what she had just said.

"Huh?" I stated, as if asking a question. Suddenly, she drew her face closer towards my own and kissed me.

"Chanhee, I've been wanting to tell you this for a long time. I may be older than you by a year and we may be in the same class, but I really like you."

I could only stare at her.

Flashback end

I thought back to the day I had met that mysterious girl upon the bus. Her name finally appeared in my head. Jihye? Yeah, that's it! Kwon Jihye, like Hwiyoung hyung, she's in the same grade as me in school although she is a year older. Her face was still clear within my mind, why was I suddenly acting all strange just by thinking about her?

I like Youngja-ssi, but why is this Jihye girl making my heart race?
