I Know You Like Me

Chapter 16

I Know You Like Me:

Surprise:

"Come on Leenah, I said I was sorry!" Heechul pleaded, following Leenah around the SM Building like a little puppy. "Don't you think you're overreacting?"

"Overreacting? Overreacting?" Leenah finally stopped ignoring him and turned to face him. "Heechul, you put laxatives into my birthday chocolates! Believe me, you didn't wanna see my bathroom in the aftermath."

"Well you weren't supposed to eat them!" Heechul said in his defense. "I even warned you not to, but you did it anyway!"

"I didn't know you were going to do something like that!"

"If I told you then you would've gotten mad at me!" 

"And what am I now Heechul? Oh that's right, mad at you!" Leenah turned her back to him to finish cleaning out her storage locker.

"Can I ask, what happened with Youngsoo? He didn't break up with you did he?"

"He left after everything calmed down." Leenah answered. "He swore that he's not mad at me, but he hasn't really talked to me since then."

Heechul smiled contently, shrugging off the entire situation. "I'm not going to worry about it, after all you will forgive me."

"What makes you think I'm just going to forgive you for this?"

"Because I got you the best birthday present ever." Heechul smiled and giggled cutely.

Leenah slammed her storage locker shut and rolled her eyes at him. "I could care less what you get me."

"Oh come on Leenah, don't be like that!" Heechul called out to her as she walked off to her practice room. "Happy birthday! You brat!"

She didn't want to listen to him anymore, she had enough of him. She didn't care whether he did it out of jealousy or not, she still hated him for it either way. She slammed the door open to the seemingly empty practice room then slammed it shut. She carelessly threw her bag across the room, not realizing it hit someone's leg. She looked and saw it was Youngsoo clutching his leg in pain.

"I'm so sorry!" Leenah immediately rushed over to him. "Did I hurt you?"

"No, I'm okay." Youngsoo tried laughing it off. "You've got a good arm though."

"I'm sorry, I didn't know anyone was in here." Leenah apologized again. "You sure you're okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine." Youngsoo assured her, standing up right. "I'm sorry I've been sort of avoiding you all week."

"It's okay. I understand why." Leenah replied, trying to put on a happy face.

"I'm not mad. I know it wasn't you who did it." Youngsoo awkwardly stuffed his hands into his pockets, "So. How's your bathroom? Is it livable again?"

Leenah giggled a little, "It's fine now. I had to spend a lot of money to get people to clean it, but it's fine now."

"I really am sorry I haven't called you, or texted you. I know you didn't put the laxatives in the chocolate. I know it was Kim Heechul."        

"Don't worry about Kim Heechul, he-"

"I don't care about him, Leenah. I don't care that he's the one who did it. I don't even care if he hates me or if he's jealous of me." Youngsoo smiled sweetly. "I'll be a man and fight for you."

"He didn't do it out of jealousy, he did it because he's an asshole."

"Regardless, I'll win you fair and square." Youngsoo kissed her cheek.
