He made me happy. I found myself wanting to be around him. I liked his presence. Seeing his bright smile made me want to do whatever to keep it on his face. Seeing his dark eyes peering into my own made me wonder what mysteries lied behind them, things I had yet to learn about him. I liked Dongmyeong. I knew that, but denying it seemed more convenient, especially since he liked someone already.

He placed his hand atop mine as we quietly stared at each other. "Hobae." "Don." "I- Oh." I quickly pulled away then sat far from Dongmyeong. "Don had something in his eye. Is it better now?" He wordlessly nodded as Jimin placed a cup in my hands. "Well that's good to hear. Since we have company, I believe we'll have to continue that conversation later." He nodded then looked at me. They sure made it obvious that I was intruding on their private affairs.

"Sorry, you two can continue. I shouldn't have just barged in." I placed the cup on the table then left the room. "Hobae, where are you going?" I kept walking then quickly put my shoes on. I couldn't keep doing this. I walked to my car then felt something pull me back. "Hoyoung, what's going on?" I shook myself from his hold then continued to walk to my car. "Hoyoung!" I was soon being held back by Dongmyeong's arms. "I can't understand if you don't speak..." "It's nothing. It's just a delusion." "You mean what you told me about? About Dongheon?" I wished that was the case.

"No." "Then what? Talk to me. Don't you trust me?" I sighed then pried his hands off. I turned around and faced him. "I do trust you. The thing is, it's about you." He searched my face as if it held the answer. "Did I do something wrong?" "No, I'm the one in the wrong." "Stop beating around the bush and tell me already!" I could see the concern in his eyes and hear the panic in his voice. I decided to just tell him everything so he wouldn't worry so much. "I don't want to get in your way of finding love, but I keep doing it. I don't know who you like, maybe it's Jimin, but I... I keep barging in whenever I have a problem. I'm sorry."

He silently stared at me then started laughing. I looked at him confused. "Do you know that I'm happy whenever you come to me with a problem? That I'm the first person you think of?" "Really?" He nodded then held my hands. "I like you, Hoyoung. I want you to barge into my life. So please... don't run away from me." My heart hurt. "Don..." I kissed him. I pulled him closer as I deepened the kiss. Somehow it felt like it wasn't our first time as our bodies seemed to understand how the other worked. I pulled away then eyed Dongmyeong. "Date me." He blinked in surprise of my declaration. "But... You and Dongheon..." I shook my head. "If you want to wait, I'll wait. I know I like you back."

He sighed then gave me a smile. "It's not that I'm not ready. I just feel that it'll seem suspicious if you suddenly got into another relationship so soon, especially with you ex wedding planner." I held him close and kissed the top of his head. "You keep giving me more reasons to like you." He suddenly pulled away then looked back. I looked up and saw Jimin wave innocently. "How long do you think she was standing there?" "At this point I don't think it matters." We broke into laughter then walked back towards Jimin hand in hand.
