Previously Ryujin POV
"Saranghae."
"W-WHAT?!" I was about to choke.
"I wanna say that to the girl I like but I don't have the guts to say it."
"Oppa?"
"Hmm." He hummed in response.
"Are you a coward?"
"What makes you say that?"
"Then tell her."
"I can tell her but I don't know when."
"It's hard Cos you don't know the answer." I begin to drink again.
"How's you and Beomgyu?" He says making me choke again.
"What?!" We were at the second floor of the café. It was Park Jiyoung's café which Jinwoo oppa was able to find a quiet place.
"W-we're doing fine." He smiles.
"Good."
"What's her name?"
"Who's?"
"The special girl?"
"I can't tell you."
"Why?!"
"I just can't."

Jinwoo POV

"Why can't you?" It's because it's you. It's you Ryujin Why don't you know the truth? Why don't you know what I feel?
"Oppa?!"
"S-Sorry."
"You spaced out for so long."
"R-really?" She nods. I then get a phone call. It's my manager.

Manager hyung

Ne hyung
Check the music charts.
Ok just wait.

I check the charts. 'You're here' (title song with H2M) is in first place, 'You Make me smile' (song with Yeri) was second for one music chart. For another, it was the other way around.

Hello? You still there?
Yeah. Thank you so much.
No problem. You did well
Thank you.
I'll be going now.
Bye.

End of call

"Oppa. What happened?"
"Check the music charts." She checks her phone.
"Woahhh. Daebak! Both songs."
"Yeah."
"We should celebrate."
"Well let's see how long it stays there." She then gets a message.
"Oppa. I'll get going."
"Okay. I'll call Jiyoung hyung."
"He's here."
"Yeah."
"Wouldn't he be busy with his businesses?"
"Hey. I'm here." Jiyoung hyung comes out.
"Hi hyung."
"Annyeonhaseoyo." Ryujin bows. "I'll be going now."
"Okay. Come here often with your members."
"Ne."
She goes down and leaves.
"So. You like her?"
"I don't know hyung. Beomgyu likes her. They like each other. I'm like helping them but I'm slowly liking her."
"Will you tell her?"
"I told her."
"What?"
"I said 'Saranghae' "
"Then?"
"She got so shocked."
"What did you say after?"
"I said I wanna say that to the person I like but I don't have the guts."
"Smooth."
"Deep down I was happy I was able to say it but she doesn't know it's for her."
"Did Beomgyu and Ryujin ever talk?"
"Well at Music Bank and at the JYP café."
"Didn't they go same school?"
"Yeah But Beomgyu was held back a year." (If you see their uniform. It's actually the same schl)
"Ohhh."
"Hyung. How's you and Yeri noona?"
"We're doing well. We've been on dates but aren't dating."
"Why. Just date her."
"Well... I don't know."
"Why? She really likes you. She said she lo- I shouldn't say that."
"I love her too. But I'm scared."
"Scared? Hyung how are you scared? You've known her for 2 years thanks to the Minnie couple."
"Minnie couple? Ohh Minseok and Jennie."
"Yeah."
"Well. I'm scared Cos what if her fans have a bad reaction to it."
"Who cares about them? It's about you two. Eventhough there is hate. There is always love somewhere. There are people that won't hate, that will care, that will support and be happy for you two."
"You know you're smart for a young age."
"Obviously. I studied in America for a while and got high grades here in Korea."
"I mean for things in life."
"Yeah. People say I'm good at advice."
"It's true."
"Hyung."
"Yeah."
"Did you know about Minseok hyung going military?"
"Yeah." He sighs.
"What about you?"
"I went at the age of 18 kiddo. So I don't have to worry."
"Smart."
"I just hope th-"
"That he'll be happy with Jennie noona and he won't be hurt before going."
"Why'd you interrupt me and say what I wanted to say?"
"It's the same thing I wanted to say." I check my watch. "Hyung. I'll be going now."
"Okay be safe." He waves and I nod with a smile. I go down and head to the building. Then I bump into someone. It was Somi. My old bestfriend.
"Somi?"
"Jinwoo oppa." We hug.
"How've you been?" I say releasing the hug.
"Good."
"Where you heading?"
"Getting food. Wanna come?"
"I gotta go back to the company."
"Okay."
"Bye." I was about to go.
"Congrats."
"For?"
"Topping the charts."
"Yeah. Thank you."
"I have a question."
"Yeah."
"Do you like anyone?"
"Yeah. Why do you ask?"
"Curious."
"What about you?"
"No not really."
"Okay. I'll be going now."
"Bye."
"Take care." I wave goodbye to her.

Ryujin POV
I left the café but thought of getting snacks for the other members. When I got snacks, I saw Jinwoo oppa. He bumped into someone. Jeon Somi?!?! Wait they know each other? They're hugging. Why do I feel this way? Do I like Jinwoo op-? No I like Beomgyu. I liked him since we were at school. Same class same year but then he was held back a year. Am I jealous? No I can't be. Plus Jinwoo oppa said he liked someone. I just head to the building and try to forget it. I arrive at our dance practice room.
"Ryujin-ah. Are you okay?" Yeji unnie asks.
"Why?"
"You look mad. Did something happen with Jinwoo sunbaenim?"
"No he just asked for advice."
"Then why do you look mad."
"I do?"
"Yeah." Chaeryeong comes and says.
"What happened."
"I saw him with Somi sunbaenim."
"Are you jealous?" Lia unnie asked poking me.
"I'm not. Plus I like someone else."
"People's feelings change." Yuna says sitting down.
"Let's practice now." Yeji unnie claps.
We practice but I can't seem to get it off my head. What's happening?

Time skip 1 hour later.
We then hear a knock on the door. It was...
