-At The Dorm-
Yukwon slumped in defeat, pouting as he sat, taking his place on the couch next to B-Bomb. B-Bomb had finally managed to calm the kitty dancer down, but only barely. The others gazed between Kwon's menacing glare and the door to Jaehyo's room, afraid that the younger would harm him even more.
It had only been a few hours but Taeil and Pyo only just got Jaehyo to fall asleep. The poor boy didn't know what came over him, but he sure as hell regretted it.
"So," Kyung spoke up, breaking the suffocating silence in the room. "What do we do about this?"
Again, silence.
Kwon cleared his throat.
"Well, we kill the bastard."
Yukwon earned five slaps to the head, followed by groans.
"No." B-Bomb shook his head. "It might not even be his fault. Who knows, maybe Mina started it."
Kwon hissed, taking offense for his little cousin.
"Kwon stop acting childish." The leader spoke up. "What if Hyo's like this for our comeback? He won't be able to perform."
"That's true," Taeil piped up. "I've never seen Jae this serious over someone, well, other than you-know-who..."
Pyo gasped. "What if MinJae ends?! I'll never be able to finish my fanfic!"
Zico rolled his eyes.
"What?"
".....am I the only one who ships them?"
"Yes." Kwon hissed.
Pyo slumped into his seat, hoping his fanfic won't come to an abrupt end. Taeil raised his brow but let the maknae be, then cleared his throat.
"Seriously, what do we do?"
Zico pondered a moment, then started.
"We shouldn't get into their business. Who knows, maybe it'll blow over. But if it doesn't, then we'll do something, okay?"
"But what--"
"Pyo, no buts. Just give it a few days, they'll be back together in no time."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Four days later.
Taeil and Kyung watched from the island in the kitchen as Jaehyo slowly made his way to the fridge, his body bumping into everything as if he was a rag doll. Jaehyo blinked, staring at the wall like it was a person and slowly apologized. After grabbing what he needed, he left without a word. The two exchanged looks and shook their heads.
Kyung spoke up.
"Okay, we definitely have to do something."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Okay, waiting for this to 'blow over' isn't working."
"We need to fix this."
"We need to find out what happened."
"No, we need to find Mina a new boyfriend."
"Shut up Kwon, we need to bring them back together so I can finish that damn fanfic."
"No cursing Pyo!"
"I am a GROWN maknae. My ship is sinking and that is not okay."
Zico pinched the bridge of his nose. Constant bickering and a sad, depressed singer is all he had been hearing since 'MinJae' had their fight.
"We split up." The leader spoke. "Three go with Hyo and three will go to BBT. Find out what happened, and try to get them back together, got it?"
Five voices responded.
"Got it."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dressed in grey sweat pants and a red tank, Mina made her way to the Studio. Not the same studio that she usually goes to with Kai, but a small, rundown Studio across town. It was cozy here, in a weird way, and Jaehyo didn't know about this place so it made Mina feel a bit better.
She went to put her IPod on the dock when a knock came to her door.
"Mina, it's us," She was a bit skeptical when she heard Yukwon's voice sound. "Open up."
She opened the door with a silent sigh and turned around, continuing with her IPod.
"What do you want?"
"It's not what we want..."
"...It's what we want to know."
Mina whipped her head around, realizing that it wasn't just her and Kwon, but also B-Bomb and Kyung as well.
Mina pulled her long hair up into a pony tail and flashed a fake smile. She knew what they wanted to know, but she didn't know if she would be able to answer or not.
"Of course." She said, her lip quivering a bit. Minhyuk went to hug her and patted her back soothingly.
"It's okay, you don't have to tell us right now." He pulled away and ruffled her hair. "But you'll have to tell us eventually."
She nodded slowly and took a quick breath, muttering a brief thank you.
"Wanna dance first?" Kwon asked, knowing his cousin and her hobbies well. Mina nodded and turned on her IPod. For the past few days, Mina has spent her mornings and nights in this studio. Dancing was how she coped with things and it got her mind off of Jaehyo... but even dancing couldn't help everything.
She missed him.
Even after everything that happened.
After a few songs, Mina couldn't help but smile slightly when B-Bomb and Yukwon joined in to dance. Kyung sat, amazed at the three as they danced to the beat of the music. Upbeat songs helped Mina forget, but once a slower more familiar song came up, she slowly came to a stop.
Hot Times by S.M. the Ballad.
This was their song.
The song that they danced to when Mina finally confessed.
The song that they danced to when Jaehyo told her he wouldn't give up.
Mina's eyes became blurry and she ran out of the room to the nearby restroom. She washed her face and sighed.
Why do I keep thinking about him?
"You alright?"
Kyung asked behind her. She nodded but her eyes trailed to the ground. Kyung lifted her face level to his and chuckled slightly.
"I saw that." He joked. "I'd rather you be yourself than to fake being happy."
Her eyes brimmed with tears as she followed him back to the studio room.
"You ready to tell us now?"
Mina took a breath slowly.
"....yes..."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-At the dorm-
"Jae," Taeil knocked on the said's bedroom door. The sweet, depressing sounds of Secondhand Serenade was blaring through the door, causing the three outside to cringe in worry.
"Jae open the door."
The sound of shuffling feet and an unlocking click let them know the door was open. One by one they filed in, each staring at the elder with concern. Taeil turned off the music.
"Hyo we need to talk..."
"What about?" He sighed, withering deeper into his bed.
"About that." Zico scrunched his nose. "You need to talk to her, say sorry or whatever, instead of being all depressing here. It's bumming us out."
The other two stared at Zico with a blank expression.
Way to be blunt.
"You mean you guys are sick of me too...?" Jaehyo asked with such worry it sent chills down their spines.
"N-no hyung, t-that's not what we meant." Pyo muttered, sitting down next to Jaehyo, trying to cheer up the elder.
Taeil and Zico took a seat on the floor and glanced up at the two.
"What exactly happened?" Taeil spoke. "If we knew maybe it would help..."
Jaehyo sat up, rubbing his eyes.
"I messed up.."
"How?"
There was a long pause of silence, the guys waiting for Jae to speak.
"I yelled at her." Jaehyo finally said. "My ex called, I got mad and took it out on her. Then I saw Mina with some guys and she was laughing, smiling and I just... lost it."
He ran his hand through his hair and sighed.
"I practically said everything that Hwani said to me. I...I made her cry. I made her so upset that she probably doesn't even want to see me, let alone talk to me."
Taeil scrunched his brows.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hwani called you? What did that bitch want?"
"She wanted me to stop talking to Mina and get back with her." Jaehyo muttered, his head hanging low.
"You aren't gonna do it right?" Pyo asked, wide eyed.
Jaehyo scoffed. "Hell no. But I'm supposed to meet up with her to tell her my answer."
"Do it today!" Zico insisted. "Tell her the truth and go find Mina. Tell her what you told us and hopefully she won't be angry anymore."
Jaehyo slightly smiled. "Yeah, hopefully."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Then he practically called me a whore, saying that I have guys lined up left and right." Mina sobbed.
"Apparently he thinks I was toying with him and that I'm some sort of bitch, but I don't know what I did. He doesn't t-trust me..." Mina's eyes were burning from crying, saddened that she's carelessly letting other people know how she's feeling.
"I-I... I told him I loved him and he said that I was lying straight to his face." Mina wiped the tears away and took a deep breath. "But even after all this, I still miss him."
"You shouldn't miss him." Yukwon shook his head. "I can still hook you up with Taemin if you want?"
Kyung and B-Bomb slapped the back of Yukwon's head.
MIna chuckled slightly, rubbing at her eyes.
"No thanks."
"People say things they don't mean when they're upset." Kyung soothed. "Knowing Hyo, he didn't mean it."
"How can he not? Have you seen me?" Mina snapped, eyes brimming with tears once more. "I look and act like a bitch, he knows it, you guys know it. Just face it... He wasn't lying."
"Mina--"
"He hates me."
"Mina!" B-Bomb spoke up. "The guy's in love with you."
Mina stared at him as if he was an alien.
"What?"
Yukwon sighed. "You really are dense... The guy loves you. Even though I don't really like him right now, he loves you." Yukwon rubbed the nape of his neck. "But I can still hook you up with someone else, y'know, someone who isn't in my group."
"I-I'm sorry..."
Kyung quickly pushed Kwon aside. "Don't be sorry, don't be sad. Don't worry BBT, everything's gonna be alright."
Mina blinked. "BBT?"
"It's a nickname." B-Bomb quicky interjected. [Back in Chapter 3 ;)]
"Oh okay.."
Kwon wrapped an arm around her shoulder. "C'mon, we'll go get you a milkshake then to see Jaehyo, okay?"
"Why a milkshake?" B-Bomb asked.
"Because, oh-wise-one, girls' like being treated. It's no wonder why Mikki hasn't called yet." Yukwon stuck his tongue out as B-Bomb narrowed his eyes.
"Mikki also likes it when guys call first." Mina muttered, giving B-Bomb a sense of hope.
The guys let Mina go wash her face and then they went to town.
"Have you talked to Min yet?" Kwonnie asked.
Mina shook her head.
"Not about this no. I video chatted with him the other day but that was to check up on him."
"That's good."
They were about to hit the Sweet shop when the guys noticed something. Kyung placed his hands on Mina's shoulders and tried making her turn away.
"Let's get something else. I don't want a milkshake anymore."
Mina pried his hands away.
"But we're already here, why would we--" Mina glanced at the Sweet Shop's window and saw Jaehyo. With another girl.
She couldn't tear her eyes away as the girl leaned in, all happy and bubbly. The girl had her fingers trailing up Jaehyo's arm. Then she planted a kiss on his lips.
Mina clenched her fists so tight, the whites of her knuckles were showing.
She walked up to the glass and smacked it so hard, it drew everyone in the shop's attention. Jaehyo's eyes widened when he saw Mina.
MIna flipped him the bird and walked away from it all, leaving all four of the guys with their jaws hanging in disbelief.
Mina was done.
