Third Person's POV

Mirae didn't know how to feel. For a while now, she was just staring at the bouquet of white lilies that was lying on the table. She trusted Mina but she betrayed her. Or was it the other way around? Mirae didn't know that Mina also liked Yoshi. She never told her. As much as she wanted to lie to herself, there is a part of her that feels guilty about everything. She feels like she snatched away Yoshi from Mina.

"Baby..." Mirae was taken out of trance when she heard Yoshi's soft voice calling out to her. He offered her a small smile which the girl returned. "How are you feeling?"

"How am I feeling?" She whispered, asking herself because she too didn't know the answer. "Yoshi... Mina... Mina likes you too."

Yoshi sighed deeply. "I know, baby. But it doesn't matter, right? Mina likes me, then what?"

He actually didn't really care about the fact that Mina likes him. If anything, it only made him angrier. How can Mina, the person Mirae treated as bestfriend, do something like that to her? How can she threaten her over a boy? How can she throw away all the years of their friendship over a boy?

"But I think she only did this because she likes you. Mina has a valid reason. She has the right to do all of this." Mirae said quietly. Yoshi could only look at her in astonishment. Mirae is too good for the world. She's too selfless.

"Mirae, liking me is not reason enough to do that. Baby, she fucking sent a bloodied picture of yours with a knife on it. Don't you think it's way too much? How can you say that she has the right to do all of this? Her feelings is not your responsibility. It's not for you to adjust for her."

"Yoshinori..." She looked up at her boyfriend with tears brimming in her eyes. "She's my bestfriend. She's my only friend."

The first teardrop fell from her face. Yoshi quickly strode over to her side and enclosed her in a tight hug. He hate it when Mirae cries. It makes him feel like he's not doing his best to protect her. After their visit to the cemetery, Yoshi swore to only make Mirae smile. He promised that with him, she will always be happy.

"Baby, you have Treasure." He cooed, running his fingers through her hair. "You have me. You're not alone anymore. I hope you always remember that."

"I can't believe everything went down to this." She said. "I should've known that she likes you. We always had the same ideal type. And the way she talked about you? I was dumb enough not to realize that she likes you. If I only knew..."

"If you only knew... what?" There was a certain hint of hurt in Yoshi's voice. "If you knew about it, are you going to give me up? Are you going to push me to her? Are you going to leave me?"

Mirae became speechless because inside her head, she was thinking about all of those. There's a part of her that is willing to sacrifice. She's willing to let go and get hurt.

"You're thinking about it, aren't you?" Now, disappointment is evident in Yoshi's tone. He carefully pushed Mirae from him. The warmth from Yoshi's hug that engulfed Mirae was quickly replaced by coldness. She wanted to run into his arms again but she cannot even look at him in the eye.

"How can you be so selfless, Mirae?" Yoshi said, running his fingers through his hair. "And if ever you push me away, do you think I would go to her? No. Because that is not how it works. I don't want another girl, baby. Mirae, I know who I like and it's you."

After hearing those words, she ran to Yoshi and hugged him. "I love you." She whispered.

Those words brought a big smile on Yoshi's face. "I love you too, Mirae."

They stood there, hugging each other. For a while, they forgot about all the problems that they are facing and are about to face.

"What do we do now?" Yedam asked the rest of the boys. Mirae is once again fast asleep. They know that everything drained the energy out of her so they let her sleep.

"I don't think Mina's going to be a problem." Doyoung said confidently. "I think we can take her down fast."

"Doyoung, going up against an obsessed person is terrifying." Mashiho said. "And we don't know if she's alone. For all we know, she has connections."

"Mashiho has a point. We can't be too confident just because it's just Mina. We need to lay out all the possible scenarios. We need to do a background check on her." Hyunsuk said.

"Judging by the way she disguised herself, I think she knows a thing or two about being bad." Jaehyuk chimed in.

"Well, I just want to say that I never liked her in the first place. She was giving me bad vibes." Jeongwoo said nonchalantly.

"Jeongwoo's right. I should've known that something wasn't right when I saw her staring at Yoshi hyung. She looks like she wanted to jump on him or something." Haruto spoke. "I thought she was just trying to be a good bestfriend to Mirae noona but it turns out, she's into Yoshi hyung."

"Funny what obsession can do to a person." Junkyu shook his head.

"Funny how the people you trust will end up breaking it." Asahi spoke this time.

"It happens to all of us though..." Junghwan trailed. "We sometimes put our trust into the wrong person and it ends up destroying us."

They decided to call it a night. All of them disappeared into the rooms inside Yoshi's house. Even if they wouldn't admit it, they're all tired. Problems after problems pile up. They have to deal with their rival gangs and now, they have to deal with Mina. As tough as they are, they're all still young and the amount of stress is taking toll on them.

Yoshi ended up going to Mirae's room. He wanted to check out on her first before he goes into his room. As much as he wanted to sleep beside her and cuddle her, he decided to give the girl her space. He too needed time to think.

He carefully opened the door. He watched Mirae who was sleeping soundly on her bed. Her breathing was steady and she looked peaceful. He walked over and went beside her. He brushed away some of her hair and tucked it behind her ears. He planted a small kiss on her forehead before whispering good night to her.

After that, he went out of her room and went into his own. He went to take a shower first before he laid on his bed. Just as he was about to close his eyes and surrender to sleep, his phone vibrated. He opened it and revealed a text message. His jaw clenched and his anger started to rise.

Yoshi... Yoshi... Yoshi...

By now, you know my identity. Yes, I'm Mina. I texted you to tell you that I love you. That's it... oh wait! I almost forgot to tell you... always remember you're mine alone and if I can't get my hands on you... then no one else would... not even Mirae.

P.S. I know your secret.
