[ HEECHUL'S POV ]
"Kyunghoon-ah! Kyunghoon-ah!" shouted Hodong as he entered the classroom.

It was the usual Thursday morning in JTBC studio where we film 아는 형님 every week but for some reason, everything seems to be more vibrant. The air is relaxing and I get the urge to talk every single chance I have. I feel like I can dance for 8 hours straight without even feeling exhausted.

My eyes met Kyunghoon's and our initial response was to smile at each other. I was about to hold his hand but Hodong suddenly punched him on the shoulder.

"Ah!" Kyunghoon screamed with exaggeration.

"How dare you, Kyunghoon-ah?!" asked Hodong with his usual loud voice.

"왜?! 왜?! 왜?! (Why?! Why?! Why?!)"

"How dare you reject Mina?! She said she's heartbroken because of you!"

"Oh, that's right. She said it on my radio show," said Yeongcheol.

"Who do you think you are, huh, Min Kyunghoon?!"

Kyunghoon just laughed it off as well as the other people in the room. Hodong sat down on his chair while still cursing at Kyunghoon while Kyunghoon's hand found its way on mine.

I looked at him and smiled. He smiled back and proceeded to counterattack Hodong's curses.

It's a good thing that we always held hands during our shoots. Even if we always hold hands now, it won't look suspicious at all.

"And Mina said it must be because of a third party. Is it true, Min Kyunghoon?! You have someone you like?"

We were startled by Hodong's sudden question. Kyunghoon's hands went cold and Janghoon immediately turned his attention to me. Fortunately, the others doesn't seem to have an idea.

"O- of course not. Mina-sshi is a really good person. But . . ."

"But what?" asked Hodong.

"I told you he has a foreigner girlfriend," joked Su-geun.

The classroom was filled with laughter. Kyunghoon can't hold his laughter and embarrassment at the same time. Hodong was praising Su-geun for his good timing while wiping his eyes with his handkerchief.

Everything went well during the shoot. The guests are the japanese members of IZ*ONE and it was honestly fun to be with them. The filming ended a little bit later than usual because Hodong was totally entertained by Sakura, Nako, and Hitomi.

As I was walking down the lobby, I felt a hand on my arms. I turned to see who it was and it's Kyunghoon. I formed a smile on my lips and attempted to hug him but he was quick to stop me from doing so.

"I'm hungry. Let's eat dinner together," he said.

My face lit up and I immediately accepted his invitation. We went to a simple noodle house just a few blocks from the studio and ordered some ramyeon and pork.

While we're waiting for our food to be served, Kyunghoon suddenly called me.

"Hyung," he called.

"Oh, what is it?"

"Don't you think . . ."

"Don't I think what?"

"Don't you think we should tell Hodong, Su-geun, Sangmin, and Yeongcheol about our relationship?"

I leaned my back on my chair and took a deep breath.

"You're right. I also think we should," I answered.

"But, I don't know how to tell them," expressed Kyunghoon.
