♫ 55 ♫

"What took you so long?", San asked as he saw Mingi come in the room.

"An old friend just called, she came back to korea after a long time!", Mingi answered cheerfully.

"Oh that's cool.", Jongho said. Mingi sat beside Yunho.

"Do you want to come with me tomorrow? I want you to meet her, she's my closest friend since I was a baby.", Mingi said. Yunho smiled at him and nodded.

"Sure! I'm so excited to meet her.", Yunho answered with a smile.

- meanwhile -

     Kyungsoon held the glass of wine and stared outside her hotel window. She ended the call and sighed.

"Song Mingi...I'll make sure to make you mine.", Kyungsoon murmured to herself as she held the picture of her and Mingi.

- the next day -"Are you ready?", Mingi asked as he waited by the room door.

"Come on! I gotta look presentable you know.", Yunho answered and giggled.

"But you already look good for me, you don't have to impress her.", Mingi whined.

"Ok, ok, fine. I'm done! Here, how do I look?", Yunho showed his outfit to Mingi. Mingi smiled ear to ear.

"You look like my soon-to-be boyfriend.", Mingi winked, teasing the other.

"And you look good yourself.", Yunho winked back and they both laughed.

"Come on let's go, we have to be there before she comes.", Yunho pulled Mingi out of the room.

"Hey guys! Me and Yunho will just head outside. I'm not sure what time we'll be back though.", Mingi shouted by the door.

"Have a great time! Make sure to introduce her to us soon!", Hongjoong shouted back.

- in Myeondong -

"She isn't here yet?", Yunho asked, looking around.

"She'll be here in 5 mi-", he got cut off when someone shouted his name.

"Song Mingi!!!", a familiar voice shouted.

     They all turned to that sound and saw a beautiful girl, the way she wore her outfit and the colors that went with it really complimented her facial features and skin color.

"She's beautiful..", Yunho whispered to Mingi. Mingi nodded and smiled.

"Hey Kyungsoon.", Mingi softly said. Kyungsoon smiled and gave a small wave.

"How have you been?", she asked in a flirty tone.

"I've been great! I got to achieve my dream...by the way, this is Yunho, my bestfriend.", Mingi pointed at Yunho. The other making a genuine smile.

"Hi! Nice to meet you.", Yunho held his hand out to Kyungsoon.

     Kyungsoon gave a strange look to Yunho, but covered it up with a fake smile. She reached out to Yunho's hand and shook it for a second.

"Nice to meet you, how long have you two been friends?", she asked.

"5 or 6 years I think.", Mingi glanced at Yunho. Kyungsoon nodded her head, looking away.

"I'm sorry if I wouldn't get to notice you much Yunho, this date was suppose to be for me and Mingi to catch up with each other.", Kyungsoon blurted out of nowhere, emphasizing the word date.

"oh, date...it's fine, I can just tag along.", Yunho wrapped an arm around Mingi's shoulders.

'If you think you scare me...you don't. Try to compete with me and I'll show you who wins.', Yunho thought to himself.

"Where do you want to go first?", Mingi asked, not feeling the strange atmosphere between the two. Kyungsoon pulled Mingi away and pointed to a store.

"Let's go there first!", she exclaimed and wrapped her arms around his. Yunho rolled his eyes and followed them.

"You really gonna buy all of this? Its so expensive!", Mingi looked at 3 bags that were placed on the counter.

"I have to bring some back home for my siblings and mom.", she said, smiling.

"Mingi, does this fit me? I wanna pair it with my denims.", Yunho was trying on a travel shoulder bag. Mingi's eyes sparkled and he went closer to Yunho.

"You should get that! You can use it when we go to the airport!", Mingi said with the brightest smile on his face.

"You're planning to borrow it right?", Yunho teased, making Mingi laugh since he got caught.

"How did you know? I just wanted to borrow it in some events. We almost share everything so just buy it!", Mingi shook Yunho. Yunho looked at Kyungsoon who was watching the whole thing, and gave a mocking smile.

- after awhile -

"Let Yunho hold the things we bought! Don't burden yourself.", Kyungsoon got the bags of expensive stuff from Mingi and pushed it to Yunho, rolling her eyes. She pulled Mingi away and clunged onto him again.

"I wanna push her face in the public toilet.", Yunho mumured to himself.

"It's almost night time! You still wanna look around? Why don't we just get something to eat.", Mingi suggested. Kyungsoon nodded like a kid and they looked for a restaurant.

"Give me that, I don't want you getting tired.", Mingi grabbed the shopping bags from Yunho.

"It's fine, I can handle it.", Yunho assured, pulling back the bags.

"No, I don't want my baby to get tired.", Mingi defended and took away the bags. Yunho paused for a while when he heard the nickname.

'Did he just call me baby in public?', he thought. He then looked at Kyungsoon who had the same expression, but it changed into a glare.

"Hey, why are you standing there? Let's go, I'm getting hungry.", Mingi whined. Yunho smiled and they continued to look around.

'Are they a thing? Is Mingi gay? No he isn't...he can't be.', Kyungsoon watched as the two walked away.

"This restaurant is nice.", Kyungsoon said as she looked around.

"This is where me and my members sometimes eat when we visit here.", Mingi said. Kyungsoon was sitting beside Mingi while Yunho was across him.

"How are your parents by the way?", Mingi asked.

"Just the same. They want to see you badly.", she answered.

     They ordered their food and started to chat a little. Yunho was feeling out of place since everytime Mingi would try to speak to him, Kyungsoon would make a whole new topic just to get Mingi's attention.

"Should we get going now?", Kyungsoon asked, standing up.

"Yeah, sure.", Mingi answered, putting on his jacket.

"I'll just go to the restroom, you can wait outside for me.", Yunho excused himself and went to the restroom.

     It was already late at night. So not much people were around the area they went to. Kyungsoon found out that this was the best chance.

"Mingi.", she faintly said. Mingi looked at her with an innocent face.

"What's up?", Mingi asked, giving her his whole attention.

"I came back here because I missed you so much. I haven't been seeing anyone these past few years because I felt something.", she started.

"Huh? What do you mean?", Mingi asked.

"I like you so much Mingi. All these years, it's always been you. I don't know why but I always think about you.", she continued, looking away.

"I-i don't know what to say.", Mingi was shocked, he really only sees her as a friend.

     Mingi actually had feelings for Kyungsoon when they were kids. It was just a puppy love type, but this was different, they were both adults. Mingi never had questions about his feelings for Yunho. He loved him, a lot. He would give up everything, just to be with Yunho, he saw Yunho's importance in his life.

"Please give me a chance! I'll make you happy! I can make you happy!", she said and hugged him tight.

     Mingi couldn't move. He wanted to push her away, but his body wouldn't let him. He looked by the door of the restaurant and there stood an expressionless Yunho. They had a slight eye contact and Yunho broke it as he walked away fast.

"Yunho! Wait!", Mingi shouted, but was held back by a crying, desperate Kyungsoon.
