"Kwon Seungcheol?" Donghyuck asked and looked to Mark and Haeyoung. "Why... Why is Kwon Seungcheol here?" Donghyuck asked, being reminded of the nice Hyung that had helped him when he smoked weed a few weeks prior. Donghyuck froze when he saw Mark awkwardly scratching his nape. "Well, he and Mina seem pretty close." Mark simply stated and Donghyuck blew up his cheeks.

"Let's just greet him." He said through gritted teeth and walked over to the Merchandise Booth where Seungcheol was putting some banners with Mina's name up for sale. "Hyung!" Mark called and waved Seungcheol. Donghyuck cocked an eyebrow being confused over Mark's closeness with Lee Minyoung's older cousin. "Oppa annyeong!" Haeyoung smiled and Donghyuck furrowed his brows.

"What have I missed?" He asked with cockiness dripping from his voice. Haeyoung bit her lip and motioned to Mark to explain this very confusing situation. "We have seen Seungcheol-hyung often these past days," Mark said. "He was the one who managed Mina to get this gig and all these fans and merchandise," Mark explained. "So are you Mina's manager?" Donghyuck asked, angry that this big dude was having something to do with Mina — who used to annoy only Donghyuck.

"Hey, Donghyuck-ah. You look good." Seungcheol greeted him friendly and Donghyuck was already pissed. "What is it with you and Mina?" He asked suddenly feeling protective of the Noona he didn't care for at all. Mark sighed. "Donghyuck. You are not in a position to speak to Hyung like that. You are not Mina's friend." Mark stated the facts when a short haired girl walked into the situation.

"Oh, erm hi!" She smiled awkwardly and showing her backstage pass when she recognized Seungcheol in that chaos. She bowed. "Hi, I'm Seo Bohee." She introduced herself and Seungcheol recognized the name. "Ah, Mina-yah is in her dressing room Bohee. It's right over there." He motioned over to the girl and everyone followed the short haired lass with the denim dress with their eyes.

Donghyuck decided to follow her when Mark coughed. "Are you sure she wants to see you so quickly? Shouldn't you wait for Haeyoung or me to take you to her?" Mark asked and Donghyuck turned around. "Did you just drag me here to feel inferior to Seungcheol?" He asked unpolite and Mark rolled his eyes.

"Donghyuck you never were interested in Mina and now that you know she and Seungcheol-oppa-" Haeyoung clapped her hands over her mouth and looked from Seungcheol to Donghyuck. "Wait..." Donghyuck started and looked at Seungcheol. "Are you serious?!" He yelled and looked angry. "You're dating Mina?!"

"I'm not," Seungcheol stated. "I'm not lying but I am attracted to her and I took her out for a date once. Sadly she is in love with someone who doesn't even know her properly and wouldn't give me a chance." Seungcheol said and turned away from the boy.

"Thanks for the day. Once again." Mina chuckled and wiped her hair out of her face. "You're welcome. I like spending the afternoons with you." Seungcheol smiled and went to take Mina's hand. The musician flinched at his touch and held her breath. "I don't think that's right, Oppa." She said and Seungcheol looked at her. "Let me guess" he started and looked at Mina with a sad smile. 

"You like that kiddo, aight?" He asked and took a step back from Mina. "O-Oppa, I promise I didn't just go on this date with you just because you managed for me to get this amazing gig and the advertises for the concert," Mina stated and Seungcheol shook his head. "I know, I know." He said and watched Mina fidgeting with her hands. "It's just I had my eyes on him the whole time."

"Is that why you accompanied Mark to pick him up?" Seungcheol asked and Mina nodded. "I really like him. Even if it sounds pathetic because I am older but I sincerely like him and I am sorry." Mina bowed and Seungcheol chuckled. "I knew I wouldn't have a chance with you. Heol... Guess I have to stay friend zoned then." He winked and playfully hit Mina's shoulders.

"But notify me if you change your mind." He grinned and Mina gave him a push, smiling brightly.

Donghyuck scoffed. "Of course she would dump you! She hates Minyoung with a-" "Donghyuck don't!" Haeyoung scolded and looked at Donghyuck with widened eyes. "You don't know anything of Unnie and Lee Minyoung's past. I beg you to stop picking fights with Oppa!" Haeyoung said and pulled Donghyuck away from Seungcheol and towards the dressing room.

Mark was quietly following them, watching Donghyuck with every step. "Why are you so protective of her? Don't you hate her?" Mark asked and opened the dressing room door, presenting a beautiful looking Mina in tight, high waisted black shorts, black stockings and sneakers. On her upper body, she wore a loose black long sleeved blouse and a beautiful choker was complimenting her long neck.

Seo Bohee was currently curling the hair in Mina's ponytail and Mina waved the guests but stopped when she saw Donghyuck. "Oh, you're here!" She gave him a soft smile. "How are you feeling Donghyuck?" Mina asked with a soft voice and motioned Bohee to stop curling her hair. The seventeen-year-old stood up and walked over to Haeyoung giving her a hug before hugging Mark who went to sit down next to Bohee quietly talking about the set list for the gig.

"You look good," Mina said and looked at Donghyuck's eyes and skin. "You didn't smoke more than that right?" She asked and Donghyuck felt the need to look down. Her very attractive attire made him nervous and he gulped. Even if he had seen Minyoung in the most beautiful dresses South Korea could show, this outfit on Mina looked dangerously sexy and just thinking about all the men and Seungcheol that were watching her on stage in that outfit made him pretty jealous. 

Mina was always caring for him, why didn't he realize it earlier?

"Y-You look good Mina-sshi." He said politely and everyone looked at Donghyuck with widened eyes. Did he really just use Polite Language?
