CHAPTER 21
Your eyes slowly open as the sun rises. You slowly stood up and went out from your room.
The only person that you see was L. He smiled at you, “Good morning~” he greeted.
You fake a smile and forcely greeted back. “Um... Hyemi-ah, can you cook for breakfast? I’ll tried to cook but always failed.” he said.
“Uh-oh.. Okay.” you replied as you walk to the kitchen to prapared the breakfast.
L followed you.
As you started to cut the ingredients, L sat in front of you. He place his both hands to his cheeks and rested his elbow on thr table. He just watch you preparing the food there.
You started to felt uncomfortable with that. “Um.. Can you please stop staring at me? Can you just wait me to finish this in the living room?” you asked.
“But I want to watch you cooking..” he said. “Please?” you pleaded.
He pouted, “Araseo..” with that, he left you and went to the living room.
You let out a long sigh, *Thank god! I can’t almost breathe because of his stares.* you said on your mind as you continue preparing the breakfast.
---
When the time that you already finish preparing, the others already awake. You greeted them as they greeted you back.
They all sat on the chairs to start the breakfast. You were about to sat on your seat when Dongwoo sat there first.
“Uh.. Hyemi-ah, mianhe but can we exchange seats? I just don’t want to sit next to Hoya today.” Dongwoo explained.
“Yah! Your seat is next to me! Just come and sit here!” Hoya said. Dongwoo look back at you, “Please Hyemi-ah?” he pouted.
“Aish! Araseo oppa..” you smiled. Dongwoo jump with joy. You chuckled at him.
You then shift your gaze to the seat next to Hoya. You were about to walk there when you noticed that the other person next to the seat is L. You stopped by that.
“Wae Hyemi-ah?” Sunggyu asked you. You look at him and shook your head, “Nothing.” you then went to Dongwoo’s original seat.
You hand accidentally touch L’s hand that made a vibration between the two of you. “Mianhe..” you quickly apologized.
L shook his head, “It’s nothing..”
You started to eat for you to not see his face. *Omo! I need to finish my food so quick or else my body will going to filled by my sweats.*
Just after a minute, you already finished your food.
Infinite’s jaw dropped because of your sudden action.
“What happen?” Woohyun asked. “Eh? Er.. I was.. just hungry..” you lied. “Do you want eat mine too?” Woohyun asked again.
You quickly shook your head, “No. Um.. Please excuse me. I’m going to used the comfort room.” you excused yourself as you run to the CR.
Infinite look at each other, confused.
---
As you reach the CR, you place your right and into your chest. *What’s happening to my heart? Why do I felt weird feelings when Myungsoo oppa is around? It’s not happening to me when I first stayed here. Wae?* you thought.
You wash your face then face the mirror. You place your hand again to your chest. “Why my heart is like this? Am I in love with Myungsoo oppa?” you whispered to yourself.
Right then, you heard a sudden knock coming from the door. Hyemi-ah, are you okay?” you heard L’s voice behind the door.
You close your eyes and replied, “Yes, I’m going out now..” you then walks to the door and open it.
L is standing there, waiting for you. “Is there something wrong?” he worriedly asked. You shook your head and walk passed by him, not looking at him.
L’s eyebrows frowned at your action. *What’s happen to her? Is she ignoring me? Did I’ve done something wrong to her?* he asked himself.
He shook his head, *No! She’s not ignoring you Kim Myungsoo..* he snapped all his questions on his mind and followed you.
---
“Uh.. Hyemi-ah, you’re finally here. We decided to go out since we don’t have work today. So go change now so we can go around the town.” Sunggyu said.
“Um.. Oppas..” you whispered. Their attention shift to you. “..Can I just stay here?” you asked.
“Eh? Wae?” Sungyeol asked. “Yes, wae? Just come with us!” Sungjong added.
“I just feel like not going. I just want to stay here at the dorm.” you explained. Sunggyu let out a sigh, “Okay. Since that’s your decision, we will respect that.”
“Thank you oppa.” you smiled. “Are you sure you really want yo stay here alone?” Hoya asked. You eagerly nodded, “I’m okay with that. Don’t worry about me..” you replied.
“Okay then.” he said. “Uh.. L let’s go!” Dongwoo saw L behind you.
“You guys go. I’m going to stay here with Hyemi.” L said. You frozed on your spot after hearing L’s words.
“You will going to stay too? Ahh~ Hyemi-ah is not going and you also?” Sungyeol pouted. “Aish! You need to separate with me sometimes, you know that!” L said to him.
Sungyeol pouted again. “Then.. That’s good I think. Besides, Hyemi-ah will not bored here if L not come with us right?” Sunggyu said.
You are hoping for someone to protest but they just all nodded. Your shoulders fell when you saw them agreed with Sunggyu.
“So.. We’re going now. Take a good care of her L, araseo?” Sunggyu said. L nodded, “I will..”
With that, Infinite excluding L left the dorm.
*This will going to be so hard to me..* you thought.
CHAPTER 22
The atmosphere became silent when the others left the dorm.
L cleared his throat that broke the silence. You jump a little after you heard him.
“Did I scared you?” L worriedly asked. You shook your head, “No.”
Awkward silence filled the dorm again. “Um.. Why don’t go with them instead of staying here?” this time, you’re the one who broke the silence.
He look straightly at you. You stared back but quickly look away. “I just want to spend my time with you..” he said.
You look at him surprised, “Eh?” you gasped. He sweetly smiled at you, “I said I want to spend my time with you. Only you..” he repeated.
You frozed on your spot as L continue staring at you. You just look at him, still frozed.
“Um.. I’m still sleepy. I’m going to take a nap first.” you quickly stood up planning to go to your room but L suddenly grabbed your hand.
You closed your eyes, *Omo! Please just let me go..* you slowly spun around to face him again. “Wae?” you asked.
“Are you going to ignore me now?” he asked. You raised an eyebrow, “Why did I do that?” you asked back.
L then stood up and held both of your shoulders. “Hyemi-ah.. I know you were going to be shock to this but I think I like you..” he said.
*Wait? Did I heard right? He likes me?* you coudn’t believed on what you just heard from his mouth. You just stared at him, speechless.
“Hyemi-ah?” he gently shook you. You went back to your world now. “I-I r-really.. n-need to take a n-nap now..” with that, you quickly run to your room and closed the door.
L’s shoulders fell. *Did I made her really shocked in my confession?* he rubbed the back of his neck and let out a long sigh.
---
As you already closed the door, you placed your hand on your chest. Your can feel your heart beating so fast after the confession.
*Omo! My heart..* you slowly walk to your bed and laid. “He likes me?..” you whispered.
You shook your head, “No. He said he thinks he likes me but not sure.” you sadly whispered.
You tried to sleep but couldn’t. You stayed in your room in an hour but as you trying to sleep, you always remembered what L just said to you.
‘I think I like you..’ L’s voice keeps repeating on your head.
Since you can’t sleep, you slowly went to the door and lean in to it. You want yo make sure if L is around. You lightly open the door and look around. No sight of L.
You carefully went out and slowly walk. You still didn’t saw any sight of L. *Where did he go now?* you asked yourself. But then you heard a voice said, “Looking for me?”
You jump a little by the sudden voice. You knew who’s voice is that and that is L.
You spun around to protest but you felt a soft thing touching your lips. Your eyes widen when you realized that soft thing is L’s lips. You’re now kissing L.
You quickly step back and runs back to your room. L wants to run after you but you quickly closed the door.
---
You touch your lips, still in shocked. “We.. We did.. kiss?..” you whispered.
CHAPTER 23
A week had passed. You didn’t talk to L after that ‘kiss’. You also take a distance from him.
You are still confused about your feelings. So that you think this is the best way to have some time to think about your true feelings for him.
It’s really for you but you need to do it just for the both of you.
One day, Sunggyu received a call from Jungryul. “Yeoboseyo?” he answered.
“Uh.. Sunggyu-ah.. I just want to remind you that you guys need to practice for Infinite’s another comeback for your new album.” the other line said.
Sunggyu nodded, “Yes, I didn’t forget about that. We’re going to do what you said.” he replied.
“Good! And another, you’re the one who decide on what kind of performance you guys need to do. We’re going to be busy this week so please take care to the performance Sunggyu..”
“Okay hyung. I’ll be take care for this.” Sunggyu replied. With that, the phone call ended.
“Guys listen!” Sunggyu caught all your attentions. “Okay.. So, I think you all knoe about our comeback right?” Sunggyu asked.
All of you automatically nodded.
“Since you all know about that, I want to say that we’re going to have practice for our performance today..” he added.
All of you nodded once again.
“Another one, I’ll be the one who will decide for the concept of our performance because our managers we’re going to be busy.” he explained.
“No problem with me..” Woohyun said. All of you agreed with him.
“Okay then.. Go prepare yourselves so we can go now to the practice room.” Sunggyu ordered.
All of you do what he said.
---
“Um.. Our theme is about love right?” Sunggyu asked as all of you arrived at the practice room.
“Yeah..” Dongwoo answered. “And also the valentines will going to come so our comeback will going to be perfect!” Woohyun added.
Sunggyu smiled, “Exactly!”
“So what will be our performance look a like?” Sungyeol asked. “Yes, what are your plans?” Hoya asked.
“Since it’s about love, I think we need a pair for some part in our song.” Sunggyu said. “Uh yeah! I like that! But who will be the pairing?” Sungjong asked.
“Um.. Since we have a female member which is Hyemi, I decided to give her that part.” Sunggyu explained.
“M-Me?” you gasped. Sunggyu nodded, “Yes. You and L will do that part.” Sunggyu explained.
You were so shocked when you heard what he just said. You and L look to each other but you quickly look away.
“I decided to give that part to our visuals. The fans will go crazy when they saw the two good looking faces together right?” Sunggyu explained.
Woohyun nodded, “Well, I agreed with that. We need to give a special part for our visuals.” he said.
The others nodded in agreement.
“Since no one disagree, let’s start the practice.” Sunggyu said to and L ehat you two need to do on your part. The two of you need to do a sweet dance.
Need an eye contact.
Need to touch each other.
Need to act like a couple.
You want to protest that you didn’t want to do that but you don’t have any explanation to say to them. So you just do what Sunggyu had said.
All of you started to practice. Suddenly, you and L’s part came. You heart started to beat so fast like crazy.
“Eye contact!” Sunggyu ordered. You tried but it’s really hard for you to have an eye contact to the person whi stole your first kiss.
“I said eye contact!” Sunggyu ordered again. You still trying but you couldn’t.
“Stayed close to each other.” Sunggyu oredered. You didn’t do what Sunggyu had said but L pulled you closed that made you shocked.
You can’t focus now on what you were doing because of what you were close to him. “Focus!” Sunggyu said.
“Again!” Sunggyu wanted you two to repeat your part.
“Aish! This will going to be hard for me.” Sunggyu said. “You two stayed here until the both of you mastered your part.” he added.
Your eyes widen, “But oppa!” you protested.
“No buts. Just do what I had said.” Sunggyu said as he and the others left the practice room.
CHAPTER 24
Awkward silence filled the practice room as the others completely disappeared.
“Um.. I think we should start practicing now..” L started. You look at him and slowly nodded, “Yeah..” you whispered.
L walk close to you. He hold your hands and place it to his both shoulders. His hands were holding your waist. He then look straightly to you.
You on the other hand, trying to make an eye contact with him but you still couldn’t so you look away.
“We can’t do it if you couldn’t cooperate with me.” L suddenly said. You slowly look back at him. He stared back at you. Both of your eyes met with him. His gaze was melting you on your spot.
You and L started to move together with a music. L kept staring at you as you also did. But after only a minute, you look away again.
“If the kiss yesterday the one that bothering to you—” he said.
“No! That’s only an accident! And I just want to go home now.” you blurted.
L just nodded in understanding, feel dusappointed. “Okay then. If you want to go home now, you should cooperate with so that we can both go home now..” he said to you.
You close your eyes and let out a long sigh. You bit your lower lip and look back at him. “Okay, let’s do it again.” you said.
You and L started to dance again. Suddenly, the lifting part came. L need to lift you and you need to wrap your legs to his waist. L was holding you waist as you wrapped your legs to his waist and placed your both hands to his shoulder.
L kept staring at you as you also did since you really want to finish the practice. That stared become serious as both of you couldn’t take off the eyes to each other.
Both you was focusing on staring to each other that both of couldn’t hear any sounds even the sound of music. Like the world stop on moving to the both of you.
Suddenly, L started to lean in towards you. You didn’t move but continue staring at him.
After a while, you felt his lips met yours. His eyes were closed as yours were widely open in shocked.
L suddenly broke the kiss and whispered, “That kiss is no longer an accident. That kiss is real and I meant it. Hyemi-ah, saranghae~” he then lean in back to you and kiss you again.
With that, your eyes automatically closed and kiss him back without a doubt.
*Nado Saranghae Myungsoo oppa..*
CHAPTER 25
After that practice, you and L became a couple now but you want keep it a secret to others.
You pleaded L to not tell to others about your relationship with him. At first, L didn’t agreed but you tried to convince him and finally agreed with you.
---
Valentines day came. You and L have a date plan for that. You wear a jeans with a simple shirt on top so that the others will not give suspected to the two of you.
L also wear a simple outfit.
You and L were about to leave when Sunggyu suddenly caught you two. “Hey! Where you two are going?” he asked.
“Yeah.. It’s valentines so why are you teo leaving?” Woohyun asked.
Both you and L stopped. You worriedly look at L and gave him a ‘what are we going to do?’ look.
L spun around and look at them. “Where going to have a practice for our special part. Our comeback is tonight remember?” L lied.
You look to others, waiting for their reaction.
“But today is valentines. We just need to go out all.” Sungjong said. “Yeah.. I want go out~” Sungyeol whined.
“You guys can go out but me and Hyemi couldn’t. We still need to master our special part. Do you want the both of us to make a mess in our comeback?” L asked.
Sungyeol and Sungjong shook their heads. “We don’t.” they replied.
“I think they really need to practice since our comeback is tonight.” Dongwoo suggested. Hoya nodded in agreement, “I agreed with him.”
“Okay then. But you two need to come back here before our comeback starts araseo?” Sunggyu said.
You and L eagerly nodded.
With that, both you and L left the dorm.
---
“Wear this.” L handed you a mask as the car stopped in front of the Lotte World.
“What for?” you asked. “For our protections. We’re popular remember?” L reminded you.
You nodded, “Uh-oh yeah..” you took it from him and wear it. He also wear his mask.
Both of you went out from the car and enter the Lotte World.
L hold your hand that made you jump a little. He look down at you and smiled, “You need to used to it because I’m starting to do it in usual.” he said. You shyly smiled at him blushing and slowly nodded.
Luckily, you have your mask so he didn’t saw your pink face.
“Let’s ride the roller coaster. I really want to ride it with you but you choose Hoya hyung to be your partner when the first time we go here.” you can see that he’s pouting.
You smiled, “Mianhe.. But I’ll promise to ride all the rides here with you, only you..” you said.
A smile went up to his lips. “Let’s start to ride one by one then.” he said as he dragged you to the first ride, the roller coaster.
After the roller coaster, both of you ecplore the Lotte World and rides all the rides there.
---
“Woah! That was so awesome~” you beamed. L smiled at you, “I know right!”
“Let’s eat!” L said. You smiled an nodded.
---
“Let’s sit there..” you pointed at the corner area so no one will noticed the both of you.
“Okay. Let’s sit there.” L agreed as both of you walks there and sit.
A waiter went to your table and take your orders. After just 10 minutes, your orders already arrived.
As the waiter left you two, L removed his mask from his face.
“What are you doing?” you whispered to him. “Wae? No one will going to see us here. We’re here at the corner plus there’s only few customers here.” he explained.
You look around and L is right, only few customers are eating in the restaurant.
With that, you also removed your mask from your face and started to eat.
As you were eating, a spoon with a food on it face your face. You followed the spoon and saw L trying to fed you.
“Myungsoo oppa..” you shyly whispered. “Do you know how long I’ve waited to this to you? Please take it hmm?” L pleaded.
You nodded and shyly took his offer. You swallowed the food and eat it.
As you didn’t know, L want something different. “Go and feed me too.” he whispered to you. You look at him surprised, “Eh?” you gasped.
“I said, feed me too~” he whined. You nodded and shyly fed him.
“Woah! so delicious especially when you feed me..” L said. You rolled your eyes but smiled, “You’re so funny Myungsoo oppa..” you said.
“That’s why you’re in love with me..” he teased. You blush on it, “Stop teasing me!” you said.
“Aww~ my girlfriend is so cute~” L lightly pinched your cheek. You lightly sbapped his hand, “Let’s just eat okay?” you said.
He smiled, “Araseo..” he cutely said as he continue to eat. You smiled by his cuteness. *I’m very lucky to have you Myungsoo oppa..*
With that, you also continue your food.
CHAPTER 26
At night, you and Infinite prepare yourselves for the comeback.
As all of you finish preparing, all of you left the dorm and went M! Net without your managers since they are still busy with something.
Since you and L are couple now, both of you perform your special part very well. Both of you just act normally.
As usual, the performance was daebak!
---
“Great job koreangirl26-ah and L.” Sunggyu praised the two of you. “Gomawo oppa.” you smiled at him.
“You know what?..” Woohyun started. All of you look at him, waiting him to continue. “..I thought you two are couple. Both of you just act normally on your part.” Woohyun continued.
You and L lookat each other. You then laugh nervously, “What are you talking about Woohyun oppa.. We’re not a couple okay.. Right Myungsoo oppa?” you look at L.
L quickly nodded, “Uh-oh, yeah. We’re not a couple. Maybe we performed our part normally beause we practice very hard just to make our performance perfectly.” L explained.
The others just noddedin understanding.
---
Next morning, Sunggyu awake early. He saw a newspaper at the door of the dorm and grabbed it.
His eyes widen when he saw the headline news.
Infinite L and Infinite Hyemi are dating?
That was the title of the article. There are also some pictures there that L is feeding you and vise versa. A picture when L pinched your cheek was also there.
Suddenly, the others also awake except you and L.
“Uh hyung! What is the headline news today? Our successful comeback?” Dongwoo asked. “Maybe. And that’s a good news right?” Hoya said.
But Sunggyu shook his head, “Not good but bad. Very bad.” he whispered.
“Eh?” Woohyun grabbed the newspaper from his hyung to take a look at on it. His eyes widen, “What is this?!” he gasp.
The others got curious and went close to him to see the headline. “Eh? Isn’t it their clothes that theyare wearing yesterday?” Sungjong said.
“Yeah it is.” Sungyeol agreed.
Suddenly, you and L also awake at thesame time. L smiled and greeted you. You also greeted him back.
The others gave both of you a look.
“Goodmorning oppas!” you smiled and greeted them. But their expression remained serious.
“What happen hyung?” L asked. “Are you two not really a couple? Sunggyu asked both of you. “Yes, we’re not.” L quickly answered.
“Then what is this?” Sunggyu raised the newspaper for the both of you to see what the headline is.
Your body frozed on your spot when you saw your sweet pictures together with L. L was speechless after he saw the headline.
“Shock huh?” Woohyun said. Both you and L just remained silent.
“So.. Go and tell us the truth now..” Dongwoo ordered.
You bit your lower lip and lowered your head. L walks to you and hold your hamd. The others raised an eyebrow on your both hands.
“Okay.. The news was right. I and Hyemi are couple now.” L said. You look up to him, worried.
“What?! It’s true? How?” Sungyeol asked. “It’s along story but we’re actually a couple now.” L said.
“Is it true Hyemi-ah?” Hoya asked. You paused by that but then L squeezed you hand. You look up at him and nodded, “Yes. We’re a couple now.” you replied.
Their shoulders fell when they hear what you just said.
“So.. How could you two handle this mess hmm?” Sunggyu asked both of you. “Don’t worry hyung, I’ll take care of it.” L said.
“Okay. I’ll leave it to you araseo?” Sunggyu said. L nodded, “Araseo hyung.”
CHAPTER 27
At night, the managers suddenly visit the dorm.
You look at L in panic, “Myungsoo oppa, eottokhae?” you whispered to him. He reach your hand and hold it tightly, “Don’t worry. You still have me.” he whispered back.
You smiled at him and nodded.
The managers look straightly at you and L. “I think all of you already know we are here right?” Jungryul asked all of you.
All of you automatically nodded. “So.. Was the headline is true?” Geonam asked. All of you nodded again.
“What?! Both of you are really dating?” Hyoan gasped. “Yes, they are.” Sungyeol said.
Sungjong elbowed him. Sungyeol look at his dongsaeng, ‘Wae?’ he mouthed. ‘Shut up!’ Sungjong mouthed back. Sungyeol pouted.
“Stop that!” Geonam said. Sungyeol and Sungjong stop arguing and sat straight.
“So.. What are you two going to do with this mess?” Geonam asked you and L. “I’ll take care of it.” L said.
“By how?” Jungryul raised an eyebrow. “I want to have a press conference.” L replied.
“Then what will you do next? Tell them the truth?” Hyoan said. L nodded, “Yes, that’s my plan.” he replied.
“Did you know what are you saying huh? Your fans will all disappeared if you do that.” Jungryul said. “I know but I don’t care. All I care is my girlfriend.” he replied.
You hold his arm, “Myungsoo oppa..” you whispered as you shook your head. He removed your hand from his arm and hold it instead. “They need to know the truth. Just trust me okay?” L whispered to you.
You just nodded.
“Hyung, call the press and I want a press conference tonight.” L said to the managers. Jungryul let out a long sigh, “Are you really sure with your decision?” he asked.
L nodded, “Yes, I’m very sure.” he replied.
“I think we can’t stop you so I will call the press now. Excuse me..” with that, he went out and called the press.
---
“Are you ready?” L asked you before both you could go to stage. You shook your head, “I’m nervous.” you replied.
L hold your hand, “You don’t need to be nervous. I’m always here for you. All you just need to do is to say the truth.” he said. You let out a sigh then nodded.
---
“What’s the real issue between the two of you?” the press asked both of you as you and L sat on the chair at the center stage.
“Are you really dating?” the press asked also.
L reach the microphone and place it in front of his mouth. “Yes, we’re dating.” he simply answered.
The press starts whispering to each other. But then they asked, “Is it true Ms. Kwon Hyemi?”
You look up at L. He just nodded at you. You then reach the microphone and place it in front of your face. “Yes. It’s true.” you replied.
“Next question, this is actually for Mr. L. What about Ms. Park Gyuri? Isn’t it she has a crush on you?” the press asked.
You look at L, waiting for his answer. “Me and Gyuri-ssi were very good friends and yes, she has a crush on me but..” he look at you, “..Hyemi is the only girl that I love.” he sweetly smiled at you.
You couldn’t help but to smiled back.
The press were touched on what L had just said. The netizens also feel the same way.
“Wow~ that was so sweet of you. Last question, we heard that Ms. Hyemi is an orphan. Is it really true?” the press asked.
You paused for a moment by the sudden question.
CHAPTER 28
You breath in and out first before you slowly grabbed the microphone and placed it in front of your mouth. “Y-Yes. I’m an orphan.” you replied.
The press starting to give negative comments to you after they hear what you just said.
L got pissed and quickly grabbed the microphone. “Yes she’s an orphan but she’s a person too like us.” L said.
The press paused by that and look to the two of you.
“I don’t know where did you get that issue and I admit, that is true. Even though she is,..” L look into your eyes, “I still love her no matter what.” he gave you a sweet smiled.
You couldn’t help but to smiled back. *Thank you Myungsoo oppa. You always makes my heart softened. You makes me fall for you more and more..*
Again, the press touched with L’s words. Until one of them said, “Um.. Can you show us a sweet scene from the two of you? Like kiss?”
You were shocked on what you heard. You shook your head. You open your mouth to protest but you heard L said, “Okay, not a problem.”
You look at him in disbelief but all you can see was a smirk coming from his face. Without any word, he lean in to you and touch your lips with his.
Your eyes were wide open while L completely closed. You could feel that the press starting to take pictures of the kiss.
Suddenly, you felt a hand on your waist. It’s L. With that, your eyes starting to close and kiss him back.
---
“Woah~ When did L become so sweet huh?” Woohyun teased as you and L went back to the dorm after the Press Conference.
“Seems like L is matured now hmm?” Sunggyu added. “Yeah. I guess.” Dongwoo agreed.
“Maybe I became like this because I’m in love?” L gave you a inspiring smile. You shyly smiled back.
“Aish! Now Hyemi stole L from me. There will be no MyungYeol moments anymore..” Sungyeol pouted.
All of you burst into laughter because of the choding of the group.
Suddenly, L’s phone rang. “Excuse me..” L excused himself.
L stood up and went not so far from you so you can still hear some of their conversation. But the only thing you heard was, “Araseo omma.” with that, L end up the phone call and went back to you and the others.
“Omma?” you asked him. He nodded, “She said she want to see me and you.” he said.
“M-Me?” you asked. He nodded once again, “Yes, you. She want me to introduce my girlfriend properly to her. She want us to go to our house tomorrow.” he explained.
You just nodded in understanding. *How I wish they will accept me..*
CHAPTER 29
Morning came, you get ready to go to L’s house to meet his family.
As you and L are ready, both of you left the dorm and went to L’s house.
---
“Are you okay?” L asked as both of you reach their house. You shook your head, “I’m very nervous. What if they didn’t like me?” you worriedly asked.
L smiled and hold your hand, “They will like you because I like you. You’re a type of person that everybody will likes.” he bent a little and kissed your forehead, “My family will surely accept you. Promise~” he whispered.
A smiled went up to your face. “Okay..” you said as you nodded.
With that, both of you enter the house. The first person you saw is a guy a little bit younger than L you think.
“Moonsoo-ah!” L called the guy. The guy look up, “Uh hyung!” he runs to the two of you. *He really looks like Myungsoo oppa..* you thought.
“Where’s omma?” he asked. “At the kitchen.” Moonsoo replied. He then shifted his gaze to you, “By any chance, are you Hyemi?” he asked.
You nodded.
“Woah~ You are so pretty in person.” he commented. You chuckled by him. “Yah! She’s already my girlfriend!” L reminded.
Moonsoo pouted.
“Moonsoo, Is your hyung already arrive?” a bit old lady appeared from nowhere.
“Omma!” L called. “Uh.. Myungsoo you already here.” she walks near to the to of you.
She then look at you and look at L. “Uh yeah.. Omma, this is Hyemi, my girlfriend. Hyemi-ah,this is my omma.” he introduced.
You bowed at her, “Annyeong haseyo eomonim.. Hyemi-imnida.” you said. She smiled at you, “She’s pretty and well-mannered.” she commented.
“How about me? Introduce me to her too.” Moonsoo snapped. L rolled his eyes.
Moonsoo pouted again. “Aish! If you don’t want to introduce me, I’ll intoduce myself to her then.” he said.
He look at you, “Annyeong! Kim Moonsoo-imnida. Myungsoo hyung’s younger brother. I’m more handsome than hyung right?” he said. You couldn’t help but to laugh a little.
“Don’t mind him.” L said to you. Moonsoo pouted again. L rolled his eyes at his dongsaeng and look to her omma. “Omma, what did you prepared for us?” L asked.
“Uh yeah~ I prepared your favorite of course. Let’s go and eat what I prepared for the two of you.” L’s omma said.
---
“How was my food?” L’s mother asked you as all of you started the food. You smiled at her, “Really good.” you honestly replied.
“Woah~ I’m glad that you like it.” she said. “She’s also good in cooking omma. She’s like you.” L said.
“Really?” she asked you. You shyly smiled, “I’m not that good as you.” you replied. “Aish! You’re good as my omma okay..” L protested.
You lightly hit his arm, “I said I’m not.” you whispered. L’s omma smiled with the two of you.
“Um.. I heard you’re an orphan?” she suddenly asked. You paused fir a while but suddenly nodded.
You felt nervous because of what she ask but then you saw her smiled at you, “You don’t need to be worried. If my son was happy with you, I will support him and be happy for him.” she said.
You softened by her words. A smiled went up to your face after you hear what she just said. In the middle of the dinner, you whispered to L, “Where’s your appa?”
“He already passed away years ago.” L whispered back.
“Mianhe..” you felt guilty at him. He look at you and smiled, “No need to say sorry.” he said.
*I really am sorry Myungsoo oppa..*
---
After the dinner, you excused yourself to use the restroom.
You wash your hand as you removed your bracelet from your hand. After that, you went out. L’s omma was waiting for you at the door.
You just bowed at her. She smiled and nodded. With that, she went in at the restroom as you went back to L.
But then, you felt your bracelet was ot at your wrist anymore. You then went back to the restroom again.
---
“Eh? Bracelet?” L’s omma whispered to herself. She walk close to the direction of the bracelet to take a close look.
Her eyes widen. She took the bracelet as tears starting to fall from her eyes.
Suddenly, you appeared from nowhere. “Um.. That’s my bracelet.” you said.
L’s omma spun to face you. Tears kept ob falling from her eyes. “Um.. What’s wrong eomonim?” you asked as you walks near to her.
She didn’t gave you any response but a sudden hug. Then you heard her said, “My daughter..”
CHAPTER 30
“Um.. Eomonim, I’m sorry but I’m not your daughter.” you managed to say. She slowly released you from the hug.
You could see her tears didn’t stop falling. “You are my daughter and this..” she raised the bracelet, “..this is the proof.” she said between her tears.
You were confused at that moment thay you didn’t say a word. “You said that you’re an orphan right?” she asked. You slowly nodded.
“By any chance, are you came from Seoul Orphanage?” she asked. You nodded again.
After she saw you nodded, her tears starting to fall more. She hug you once again, “You are really my daughter.” she whispered.
You were still speechless, didn’t know what to say. “I’m sorry if I left you there.” with that she released you from the hug. “This bracelet..” she raised once again, “..I left it to you so that I can still find you and now you’re here. In front of me. You didn’t know how happy I am now.” she said with a smile.
*What? She’s my mother?* you then quickly grabbed your bracelet from her hand, “Mianhe..” you whispered as you runaway.
As you passed by at the living room, L saw you.
“Hyemi-ah!” he called you but you didn’t look at him and just continue running until you completely disapeared ftom his sight.
L suddenly saw her omma trying to run after you, “Hyemi-ah!” she called.
L walks to her, “What’s happening omma? Why are you crying?” he asked in confusion.
“She’s my daughter..” she whispered. L frozed, “Y-Your daughter?” he gasped.
She nodded. “She’s my long lost daughter.” she managed to say.
*Hyemi is my omma’s daughter?..*
---
You keep on running, didn’t know where to go. Until you reach the Bus Stop and quickly ride the first bus that stopped.
Your tears starting to fall. *Why did she appeared just now? And out of the women here in Korea, why her? Why Myungsoo oppa’s omma? That means.. He’s my brother?..* you sadly thought as your tears keeps on falling.
As the bus suddenly stopped, you stood up and went out. The first place that crossed on your mind is the Orphanage.
Without any hesitation, you went there with so many thoughts on your mind.
Your eyes slowly open as the sun rises. You slowly stood up and went out from your room.
The only person that you see was L. He smiled at you, “Good morning~” he greeted.
You fake a smile and forcely greeted back. “Um... Hyemi-ah, can you cook for breakfast? I’ll tried to cook but always failed.” he said.
“Uh-oh.. Okay.” you replied as you walk to the kitchen to prapared the breakfast.
L followed you.
As you started to cut the ingredients, L sat in front of you. He place his both hands to his cheeks and rested his elbow on thr table. He just watch you preparing the food there.
You started to felt uncomfortable with that. “Um.. Can you please stop staring at me? Can you just wait me to finish this in the living room?” you asked.
“But I want to watch you cooking..” he said. “Please?” you pleaded.
He pouted, “Araseo..” with that, he left you and went to the living room.
You let out a long sigh, *Thank god! I can’t almost breathe because of his stares.* you said on your mind as you continue preparing the breakfast.
---
When the time that you already finish preparing, the others already awake. You greeted them as they greeted you back.
They all sat on the chairs to start the breakfast. You were about to sat on your seat when Dongwoo sat there first.
“Uh.. Hyemi-ah, mianhe but can we exchange seats? I just don’t want to sit next to Hoya today.” Dongwoo explained.
“Yah! Your seat is next to me! Just come and sit here!” Hoya said. Dongwoo look back at you, “Please Hyemi-ah?” he pouted.
“Aish! Araseo oppa..” you smiled. Dongwoo jump with joy. You chuckled at him.
You then shift your gaze to the seat next to Hoya. You were about to walk there when you noticed that the other person next to the seat is L. You stopped by that.
“Wae Hyemi-ah?” Sunggyu asked you. You look at him and shook your head, “Nothing.” you then went to Dongwoo’s original seat.
You hand accidentally touch L’s hand that made a vibration between the two of you. “Mianhe..” you quickly apologized.
L shook his head, “It’s nothing..”
You started to eat for you to not see his face. *Omo! I need to finish my food so quick or else my body will going to filled by my sweats.*
Just after a minute, you already finished your food.
Infinite’s jaw dropped because of your sudden action.
“What happen?” Woohyun asked. “Eh? Er.. I was.. just hungry..” you lied. “Do you want eat mine too?” Woohyun asked again.
You quickly shook your head, “No. Um.. Please excuse me. I’m going to used the comfort room.” you excused yourself as you run to the CR.
Infinite look at each other, confused.
---
As you reach the CR, you place your right and into your chest. *What’s happening to my heart? Why do I felt weird feelings when Myungsoo oppa is around? It’s not happening to me when I first stayed here. Wae?* you thought.
You wash your face then face the mirror. You place your hand again to your chest. “Why my heart is like this? Am I in love with Myungsoo oppa?” you whispered to yourself.
Right then, you heard a sudden knock coming from the door. Hyemi-ah, are you okay?” you heard L’s voice behind the door.
You close your eyes and replied, “Yes, I’m going out now..” you then walks to the door and open it.
L is standing there, waiting for you. “Is there something wrong?” he worriedly asked. You shook your head and walk passed by him, not looking at him.
L’s eyebrows frowned at your action. *What’s happen to her? Is she ignoring me? Did I’ve done something wrong to her?* he asked himself.
He shook his head, *No! She’s not ignoring you Kim Myungsoo..* he snapped all his questions on his mind and followed you.
---
“Uh.. Hyemi-ah, you’re finally here. We decided to go out since we don’t have work today. So go change now so we can go around the town.” Sunggyu said.
“Um.. Oppas..” you whispered. Their attention shift to you. “..Can I just stay here?” you asked.
“Eh? Wae?” Sungyeol asked. “Yes, wae? Just come with us!” Sungjong added.
“I just feel like not going. I just want to stay here at the dorm.” you explained. Sunggyu let out a sigh, “Okay. Since that’s your decision, we will respect that.”
“Thank you oppa.” you smiled. “Are you sure you really want yo stay here alone?” Hoya asked. You eagerly nodded, “I’m okay with that. Don’t worry about me..” you replied.
“Okay then.” he said. “Uh.. L let’s go!” Dongwoo saw L behind you.
“You guys go. I’m going to stay here with Hyemi.” L said. You frozed on your spot after hearing L’s words.
“You will going to stay too? Ahh~ Hyemi-ah is not going and you also?” Sungyeol pouted. “Aish! You need to separate with me sometimes, you know that!” L said to him.
Sungyeol pouted again. “Then.. That’s good I think. Besides, Hyemi-ah will not bored here if L not come with us right?” Sunggyu said.
You are hoping for someone to protest but they just all nodded. Your shoulders fell when you saw them agreed with Sunggyu.
“So.. We’re going now. Take a good care of her L, araseo?” Sunggyu said. L nodded, “I will..”
With that, Infinite excluding L left the dorm.
*This will going to be so hard to me..* you thought.
CHAPTER 22
The atmosphere became silent when the others left the dorm.
L cleared his throat that broke the silence. You jump a little after you heard him.
“Did I scared you?” L worriedly asked. You shook your head, “No.”
Awkward silence filled the dorm again. “Um.. Why don’t go with them instead of staying here?” this time, you’re the one who broke the silence.
He look straightly at you. You stared back but quickly look away. “I just want to spend my time with you..” he said.
You look at him surprised, “Eh?” you gasped. He sweetly smiled at you, “I said I want to spend my time with you. Only you..” he repeated.
You frozed on your spot as L continue staring at you. You just look at him, still frozed.
“Um.. I’m still sleepy. I’m going to take a nap first.” you quickly stood up planning to go to your room but L suddenly grabbed your hand.
You closed your eyes, *Omo! Please just let me go..* you slowly spun around to face him again. “Wae?” you asked.
“Are you going to ignore me now?” he asked. You raised an eyebrow, “Why did I do that?” you asked back.
L then stood up and held both of your shoulders. “Hyemi-ah.. I know you were going to be shock to this but I think I like you..” he said.
*Wait? Did I heard right? He likes me?* you coudn’t believed on what you just heard from his mouth. You just stared at him, speechless.
“Hyemi-ah?” he gently shook you. You went back to your world now. “I-I r-really.. n-need to take a n-nap now..” with that, you quickly run to your room and closed the door.
L’s shoulders fell. *Did I made her really shocked in my confession?* he rubbed the back of his neck and let out a long sigh.
---
As you already closed the door, you placed your hand on your chest. Your can feel your heart beating so fast after the confession.
*Omo! My heart..* you slowly walk to your bed and laid. “He likes me?..” you whispered.
You shook your head, “No. He said he thinks he likes me but not sure.” you sadly whispered.
You tried to sleep but couldn’t. You stayed in your room in an hour but as you trying to sleep, you always remembered what L just said to you.
‘I think I like you..’ L’s voice keeps repeating on your head.
Since you can’t sleep, you slowly went to the door and lean in to it. You want yo make sure if L is around. You lightly open the door and look around. No sight of L.
You carefully went out and slowly walk. You still didn’t saw any sight of L. *Where did he go now?* you asked yourself. But then you heard a voice said, “Looking for me?”
You jump a little by the sudden voice. You knew who’s voice is that and that is L.
You spun around to protest but you felt a soft thing touching your lips. Your eyes widen when you realized that soft thing is L’s lips. You’re now kissing L.
You quickly step back and runs back to your room. L wants to run after you but you quickly closed the door.
---
You touch your lips, still in shocked. “We.. We did.. kiss?..” you whispered.
CHAPTER 23
A week had passed. You didn’t talk to L after that ‘kiss’. You also take a distance from him.
You are still confused about your feelings. So that you think this is the best way to have some time to think about your true feelings for him.
It’s really for you but you need to do it just for the both of you.
One day, Sunggyu received a call from Jungryul. “Yeoboseyo?” he answered.
“Uh.. Sunggyu-ah.. I just want to remind you that you guys need to practice for Infinite’s another comeback for your new album.” the other line said.
Sunggyu nodded, “Yes, I didn’t forget about that. We’re going to do what you said.” he replied.
“Good! And another, you’re the one who decide on what kind of performance you guys need to do. We’re going to be busy this week so please take care to the performance Sunggyu..”
“Okay hyung. I’ll be take care for this.” Sunggyu replied. With that, the phone call ended.
“Guys listen!” Sunggyu caught all your attentions. “Okay.. So, I think you all knoe about our comeback right?” Sunggyu asked.
All of you automatically nodded.
“Since you all know about that, I want to say that we’re going to have practice for our performance today..” he added.
All of you nodded once again.
“Another one, I’ll be the one who will decide for the concept of our performance because our managers we’re going to be busy.” he explained.
“No problem with me..” Woohyun said. All of you agreed with him.
“Okay then.. Go prepare yourselves so we can go now to the practice room.” Sunggyu ordered.
All of you do what he said.
---
“Um.. Our theme is about love right?” Sunggyu asked as all of you arrived at the practice room.
“Yeah..” Dongwoo answered. “And also the valentines will going to come so our comeback will going to be perfect!” Woohyun added.
Sunggyu smiled, “Exactly!”
“So what will be our performance look a like?” Sungyeol asked. “Yes, what are your plans?” Hoya asked.
“Since it’s about love, I think we need a pair for some part in our song.” Sunggyu said. “Uh yeah! I like that! But who will be the pairing?” Sungjong asked.
“Um.. Since we have a female member which is Hyemi, I decided to give her that part.” Sunggyu explained.
“M-Me?” you gasped. Sunggyu nodded, “Yes. You and L will do that part.” Sunggyu explained.
You were so shocked when you heard what he just said. You and L look to each other but you quickly look away.
“I decided to give that part to our visuals. The fans will go crazy when they saw the two good looking faces together right?” Sunggyu explained.
Woohyun nodded, “Well, I agreed with that. We need to give a special part for our visuals.” he said.
The others nodded in agreement.
“Since no one disagree, let’s start the practice.” Sunggyu said to and L ehat you two need to do on your part. The two of you need to do a sweet dance.
Need an eye contact.
Need to touch each other.
Need to act like a couple.
You want to protest that you didn’t want to do that but you don’t have any explanation to say to them. So you just do what Sunggyu had said.
All of you started to practice. Suddenly, you and L’s part came. You heart started to beat so fast like crazy.
“Eye contact!” Sunggyu ordered. You tried but it’s really hard for you to have an eye contact to the person whi stole your first kiss.
“I said eye contact!” Sunggyu ordered again. You still trying but you couldn’t.
“Stayed close to each other.” Sunggyu oredered. You didn’t do what Sunggyu had said but L pulled you closed that made you shocked.
You can’t focus now on what you were doing because of what you were close to him. “Focus!” Sunggyu said.
“Again!” Sunggyu wanted you two to repeat your part.
“Aish! This will going to be hard for me.” Sunggyu said. “You two stayed here until the both of you mastered your part.” he added.
Your eyes widen, “But oppa!” you protested.
“No buts. Just do what I had said.” Sunggyu said as he and the others left the practice room.
CHAPTER 24
Awkward silence filled the practice room as the others completely disappeared.
“Um.. I think we should start practicing now..” L started. You look at him and slowly nodded, “Yeah..” you whispered.
L walk close to you. He hold your hands and place it to his both shoulders. His hands were holding your waist. He then look straightly to you.
You on the other hand, trying to make an eye contact with him but you still couldn’t so you look away.
“We can’t do it if you couldn’t cooperate with me.” L suddenly said. You slowly look back at him. He stared back at you. Both of your eyes met with him. His gaze was melting you on your spot.
You and L started to move together with a music. L kept staring at you as you also did. But after only a minute, you look away again.
“If the kiss yesterday the one that bothering to you—” he said.
“No! That’s only an accident! And I just want to go home now.” you blurted.
L just nodded in understanding, feel dusappointed. “Okay then. If you want to go home now, you should cooperate with so that we can both go home now..” he said to you.
You close your eyes and let out a long sigh. You bit your lower lip and look back at him. “Okay, let’s do it again.” you said.
You and L started to dance again. Suddenly, the lifting part came. L need to lift you and you need to wrap your legs to his waist. L was holding you waist as you wrapped your legs to his waist and placed your both hands to his shoulder.
L kept staring at you as you also did since you really want to finish the practice. That stared become serious as both of you couldn’t take off the eyes to each other.
Both you was focusing on staring to each other that both of couldn’t hear any sounds even the sound of music. Like the world stop on moving to the both of you.
Suddenly, L started to lean in towards you. You didn’t move but continue staring at him.
After a while, you felt his lips met yours. His eyes were closed as yours were widely open in shocked.
L suddenly broke the kiss and whispered, “That kiss is no longer an accident. That kiss is real and I meant it. Hyemi-ah, saranghae~” he then lean in back to you and kiss you again.
With that, your eyes automatically closed and kiss him back without a doubt.
*Nado Saranghae Myungsoo oppa..*
CHAPTER 25
After that practice, you and L became a couple now but you want keep it a secret to others.
You pleaded L to not tell to others about your relationship with him. At first, L didn’t agreed but you tried to convince him and finally agreed with you.
---
Valentines day came. You and L have a date plan for that. You wear a jeans with a simple shirt on top so that the others will not give suspected to the two of you.
L also wear a simple outfit.
You and L were about to leave when Sunggyu suddenly caught you two. “Hey! Where you two are going?” he asked.
“Yeah.. It’s valentines so why are you teo leaving?” Woohyun asked.
Both you and L stopped. You worriedly look at L and gave him a ‘what are we going to do?’ look.
L spun around and look at them. “Where going to have a practice for our special part. Our comeback is tonight remember?” L lied.
You look to others, waiting for their reaction.
“But today is valentines. We just need to go out all.” Sungjong said. “Yeah.. I want go out~” Sungyeol whined.
“You guys can go out but me and Hyemi couldn’t. We still need to master our special part. Do you want the both of us to make a mess in our comeback?” L asked.
Sungyeol and Sungjong shook their heads. “We don’t.” they replied.
“I think they really need to practice since our comeback is tonight.” Dongwoo suggested. Hoya nodded in agreement, “I agreed with him.”
“Okay then. But you two need to come back here before our comeback starts araseo?” Sunggyu said.
You and L eagerly nodded.
With that, both you and L left the dorm.
---
“Wear this.” L handed you a mask as the car stopped in front of the Lotte World.
“What for?” you asked. “For our protections. We’re popular remember?” L reminded you.
You nodded, “Uh-oh yeah..” you took it from him and wear it. He also wear his mask.
Both of you went out from the car and enter the Lotte World.
L hold your hand that made you jump a little. He look down at you and smiled, “You need to used to it because I’m starting to do it in usual.” he said. You shyly smiled at him blushing and slowly nodded.
Luckily, you have your mask so he didn’t saw your pink face.
“Let’s ride the roller coaster. I really want to ride it with you but you choose Hoya hyung to be your partner when the first time we go here.” you can see that he’s pouting.
You smiled, “Mianhe.. But I’ll promise to ride all the rides here with you, only you..” you said.
A smile went up to his lips. “Let’s start to ride one by one then.” he said as he dragged you to the first ride, the roller coaster.
After the roller coaster, both of you ecplore the Lotte World and rides all the rides there.
---
“Woah! That was so awesome~” you beamed. L smiled at you, “I know right!”
“Let’s eat!” L said. You smiled an nodded.
---
“Let’s sit there..” you pointed at the corner area so no one will noticed the both of you.
“Okay. Let’s sit there.” L agreed as both of you walks there and sit.
A waiter went to your table and take your orders. After just 10 minutes, your orders already arrived.
As the waiter left you two, L removed his mask from his face.
“What are you doing?” you whispered to him. “Wae? No one will going to see us here. We’re here at the corner plus there’s only few customers here.” he explained.
You look around and L is right, only few customers are eating in the restaurant.
With that, you also removed your mask from your face and started to eat.
As you were eating, a spoon with a food on it face your face. You followed the spoon and saw L trying to fed you.
“Myungsoo oppa..” you shyly whispered. “Do you know how long I’ve waited to this to you? Please take it hmm?” L pleaded.
You nodded and shyly took his offer. You swallowed the food and eat it.
As you didn’t know, L want something different. “Go and feed me too.” he whispered to you. You look at him surprised, “Eh?” you gasped.
“I said, feed me too~” he whined. You nodded and shyly fed him.
“Woah! so delicious especially when you feed me..” L said. You rolled your eyes but smiled, “You’re so funny Myungsoo oppa..” you said.
“That’s why you’re in love with me..” he teased. You blush on it, “Stop teasing me!” you said.
“Aww~ my girlfriend is so cute~” L lightly pinched your cheek. You lightly sbapped his hand, “Let’s just eat okay?” you said.
He smiled, “Araseo..” he cutely said as he continue to eat. You smiled by his cuteness. *I’m very lucky to have you Myungsoo oppa..*
With that, you also continue your food.
CHAPTER 26
At night, you and Infinite prepare yourselves for the comeback.
As all of you finish preparing, all of you left the dorm and went M! Net without your managers since they are still busy with something.
Since you and L are couple now, both of you perform your special part very well. Both of you just act normally.
As usual, the performance was daebak!
---
“Great job koreangirl26-ah and L.” Sunggyu praised the two of you. “Gomawo oppa.” you smiled at him.
“You know what?..” Woohyun started. All of you look at him, waiting him to continue. “..I thought you two are couple. Both of you just act normally on your part.” Woohyun continued.
You and L lookat each other. You then laugh nervously, “What are you talking about Woohyun oppa.. We’re not a couple okay.. Right Myungsoo oppa?” you look at L.
L quickly nodded, “Uh-oh, yeah. We’re not a couple. Maybe we performed our part normally beause we practice very hard just to make our performance perfectly.” L explained.
The others just noddedin understanding.
---
Next morning, Sunggyu awake early. He saw a newspaper at the door of the dorm and grabbed it.
His eyes widen when he saw the headline news.
Infinite L and Infinite Hyemi are dating?
That was the title of the article. There are also some pictures there that L is feeding you and vise versa. A picture when L pinched your cheek was also there.
Suddenly, the others also awake except you and L.
“Uh hyung! What is the headline news today? Our successful comeback?” Dongwoo asked. “Maybe. And that’s a good news right?” Hoya said.
But Sunggyu shook his head, “Not good but bad. Very bad.” he whispered.
“Eh?” Woohyun grabbed the newspaper from his hyung to take a look at on it. His eyes widen, “What is this?!” he gasp.
The others got curious and went close to him to see the headline. “Eh? Isn’t it their clothes that theyare wearing yesterday?” Sungjong said.
“Yeah it is.” Sungyeol agreed.
Suddenly, you and L also awake at thesame time. L smiled and greeted you. You also greeted him back.
The others gave both of you a look.
“Goodmorning oppas!” you smiled and greeted them. But their expression remained serious.
“What happen hyung?” L asked. “Are you two not really a couple? Sunggyu asked both of you. “Yes, we’re not.” L quickly answered.
“Then what is this?” Sunggyu raised the newspaper for the both of you to see what the headline is.
Your body frozed on your spot when you saw your sweet pictures together with L. L was speechless after he saw the headline.
“Shock huh?” Woohyun said. Both you and L just remained silent.
“So.. Go and tell us the truth now..” Dongwoo ordered.
You bit your lower lip and lowered your head. L walks to you and hold your hamd. The others raised an eyebrow on your both hands.
“Okay.. The news was right. I and Hyemi are couple now.” L said. You look up to him, worried.
“What?! It’s true? How?” Sungyeol asked. “It’s along story but we’re actually a couple now.” L said.
“Is it true Hyemi-ah?” Hoya asked. You paused by that but then L squeezed you hand. You look up at him and nodded, “Yes. We’re a couple now.” you replied.
Their shoulders fell when they hear what you just said.
“So.. How could you two handle this mess hmm?” Sunggyu asked both of you. “Don’t worry hyung, I’ll take care of it.” L said.
“Okay. I’ll leave it to you araseo?” Sunggyu said. L nodded, “Araseo hyung.”
CHAPTER 27
At night, the managers suddenly visit the dorm.
You look at L in panic, “Myungsoo oppa, eottokhae?” you whispered to him. He reach your hand and hold it tightly, “Don’t worry. You still have me.” he whispered back.
You smiled at him and nodded.
The managers look straightly at you and L. “I think all of you already know we are here right?” Jungryul asked all of you.
All of you automatically nodded. “So.. Was the headline is true?” Geonam asked. All of you nodded again.
“What?! Both of you are really dating?” Hyoan gasped. “Yes, they are.” Sungyeol said.
Sungjong elbowed him. Sungyeol look at his dongsaeng, ‘Wae?’ he mouthed. ‘Shut up!’ Sungjong mouthed back. Sungyeol pouted.
“Stop that!” Geonam said. Sungyeol and Sungjong stop arguing and sat straight.
“So.. What are you two going to do with this mess?” Geonam asked you and L. “I’ll take care of it.” L said.
“By how?” Jungryul raised an eyebrow. “I want to have a press conference.” L replied.
“Then what will you do next? Tell them the truth?” Hyoan said. L nodded, “Yes, that’s my plan.” he replied.
“Did you know what are you saying huh? Your fans will all disappeared if you do that.” Jungryul said. “I know but I don’t care. All I care is my girlfriend.” he replied.
You hold his arm, “Myungsoo oppa..” you whispered as you shook your head. He removed your hand from his arm and hold it instead. “They need to know the truth. Just trust me okay?” L whispered to you.
You just nodded.
“Hyung, call the press and I want a press conference tonight.” L said to the managers. Jungryul let out a long sigh, “Are you really sure with your decision?” he asked.
L nodded, “Yes, I’m very sure.” he replied.
“I think we can’t stop you so I will call the press now. Excuse me..” with that, he went out and called the press.
---
“Are you ready?” L asked you before both you could go to stage. You shook your head, “I’m nervous.” you replied.
L hold your hand, “You don’t need to be nervous. I’m always here for you. All you just need to do is to say the truth.” he said. You let out a sigh then nodded.
---
“What’s the real issue between the two of you?” the press asked both of you as you and L sat on the chair at the center stage.
“Are you really dating?” the press asked also.
L reach the microphone and place it in front of his mouth. “Yes, we’re dating.” he simply answered.
The press starts whispering to each other. But then they asked, “Is it true Ms. Kwon Hyemi?”
You look up at L. He just nodded at you. You then reach the microphone and place it in front of your face. “Yes. It’s true.” you replied.
“Next question, this is actually for Mr. L. What about Ms. Park Gyuri? Isn’t it she has a crush on you?” the press asked.
You look at L, waiting for his answer. “Me and Gyuri-ssi were very good friends and yes, she has a crush on me but..” he look at you, “..Hyemi is the only girl that I love.” he sweetly smiled at you.
You couldn’t help but to smiled back.
The press were touched on what L had just said. The netizens also feel the same way.
“Wow~ that was so sweet of you. Last question, we heard that Ms. Hyemi is an orphan. Is it really true?” the press asked.
You paused for a moment by the sudden question.
CHAPTER 28
You breath in and out first before you slowly grabbed the microphone and placed it in front of your mouth. “Y-Yes. I’m an orphan.” you replied.
The press starting to give negative comments to you after they hear what you just said.
L got pissed and quickly grabbed the microphone. “Yes she’s an orphan but she’s a person too like us.” L said.
The press paused by that and look to the two of you.
“I don’t know where did you get that issue and I admit, that is true. Even though she is,..” L look into your eyes, “I still love her no matter what.” he gave you a sweet smiled.
You couldn’t help but to smiled back. *Thank you Myungsoo oppa. You always makes my heart softened. You makes me fall for you more and more..*
Again, the press touched with L’s words. Until one of them said, “Um.. Can you show us a sweet scene from the two of you? Like kiss?”
You were shocked on what you heard. You shook your head. You open your mouth to protest but you heard L said, “Okay, not a problem.”
You look at him in disbelief but all you can see was a smirk coming from his face. Without any word, he lean in to you and touch your lips with his.
Your eyes were wide open while L completely closed. You could feel that the press starting to take pictures of the kiss.
Suddenly, you felt a hand on your waist. It’s L. With that, your eyes starting to close and kiss him back.

“Woah~ When did L become so sweet huh?” Woohyun teased as you and L went back to the dorm after the Press Conference.
“Seems like L is matured now hmm?” Sunggyu added. “Yeah. I guess.” Dongwoo agreed.
“Maybe I became like this because I’m in love?” L gave you a inspiring smile. You shyly smiled back.
“Aish! Now Hyemi stole L from me. There will be no MyungYeol moments anymore..” Sungyeol pouted.
All of you burst into laughter because of the choding of the group.
Suddenly, L’s phone rang. “Excuse me..” L excused himself.
L stood up and went not so far from you so you can still hear some of their conversation. But the only thing you heard was, “Araseo omma.” with that, L end up the phone call and went back to you and the others.
“Omma?” you asked him. He nodded, “She said she want to see me and you.” he said.
“M-Me?” you asked. He nodded once again, “Yes, you. She want me to introduce my girlfriend properly to her. She want us to go to our house tomorrow.” he explained.
You just nodded in understanding. *How I wish they will accept me..*
CHAPTER 29
Morning came, you get ready to go to L’s house to meet his family.
As you and L are ready, both of you left the dorm and went to L’s house.
---
“Are you okay?” L asked as both of you reach their house. You shook your head, “I’m very nervous. What if they didn’t like me?” you worriedly asked.
L smiled and hold your hand, “They will like you because I like you. You’re a type of person that everybody will likes.” he bent a little and kissed your forehead, “My family will surely accept you. Promise~” he whispered.
A smiled went up to your face. “Okay..” you said as you nodded.
With that, both of you enter the house. The first person you saw is a guy a little bit younger than L you think.
“Moonsoo-ah!” L called the guy. The guy look up, “Uh hyung!” he runs to the two of you. *He really looks like Myungsoo oppa..* you thought.
“Where’s omma?” he asked. “At the kitchen.” Moonsoo replied. He then shifted his gaze to you, “By any chance, are you Hyemi?” he asked.
You nodded.
“Woah~ You are so pretty in person.” he commented. You chuckled by him. “Yah! She’s already my girlfriend!” L reminded.
Moonsoo pouted.
“Moonsoo, Is your hyung already arrive?” a bit old lady appeared from nowhere.
“Omma!” L called. “Uh.. Myungsoo you already here.” she walks near to the to of you.
She then look at you and look at L. “Uh yeah.. Omma, this is Hyemi, my girlfriend. Hyemi-ah,this is my omma.” he introduced.
You bowed at her, “Annyeong haseyo eomonim.. Hyemi-imnida.” you said. She smiled at you, “She’s pretty and well-mannered.” she commented.
“How about me? Introduce me to her too.” Moonsoo snapped. L rolled his eyes.
Moonsoo pouted again. “Aish! If you don’t want to introduce me, I’ll intoduce myself to her then.” he said.
He look at you, “Annyeong! Kim Moonsoo-imnida. Myungsoo hyung’s younger brother. I’m more handsome than hyung right?” he said. You couldn’t help but to laugh a little.
“Don’t mind him.” L said to you. Moonsoo pouted again. L rolled his eyes at his dongsaeng and look to her omma. “Omma, what did you prepared for us?” L asked.
“Uh yeah~ I prepared your favorite of course. Let’s go and eat what I prepared for the two of you.” L’s omma said.
---
“How was my food?” L’s mother asked you as all of you started the food. You smiled at her, “Really good.” you honestly replied.
“Woah~ I’m glad that you like it.” she said. “She’s also good in cooking omma. She’s like you.” L said.
“Really?” she asked you. You shyly smiled, “I’m not that good as you.” you replied. “Aish! You’re good as my omma okay..” L protested.
You lightly hit his arm, “I said I’m not.” you whispered. L’s omma smiled with the two of you.
“Um.. I heard you’re an orphan?” she suddenly asked. You paused fir a while but suddenly nodded.
You felt nervous because of what she ask but then you saw her smiled at you, “You don’t need to be worried. If my son was happy with you, I will support him and be happy for him.” she said.
You softened by her words. A smiled went up to your face after you hear what she just said. In the middle of the dinner, you whispered to L, “Where’s your appa?”
“He already passed away years ago.” L whispered back.
“Mianhe..” you felt guilty at him. He look at you and smiled, “No need to say sorry.” he said.
*I really am sorry Myungsoo oppa..*
---
After the dinner, you excused yourself to use the restroom.
You wash your hand as you removed your bracelet from your hand. After that, you went out. L’s omma was waiting for you at the door.
You just bowed at her. She smiled and nodded. With that, she went in at the restroom as you went back to L.
But then, you felt your bracelet was ot at your wrist anymore. You then went back to the restroom again.
---
“Eh? Bracelet?” L’s omma whispered to herself. She walk close to the direction of the bracelet to take a close look.
Her eyes widen. She took the bracelet as tears starting to fall from her eyes.
Suddenly, you appeared from nowhere. “Um.. That’s my bracelet.” you said.
L’s omma spun to face you. Tears kept ob falling from her eyes. “Um.. What’s wrong eomonim?” you asked as you walks near to her.
She didn’t gave you any response but a sudden hug. Then you heard her said, “My daughter..”
CHAPTER 30
“Um.. Eomonim, I’m sorry but I’m not your daughter.” you managed to say. She slowly released you from the hug.
You could see her tears didn’t stop falling. “You are my daughter and this..” she raised the bracelet, “..this is the proof.” she said between her tears.
You were confused at that moment thay you didn’t say a word. “You said that you’re an orphan right?” she asked. You slowly nodded.
“By any chance, are you came from Seoul Orphanage?” she asked. You nodded again.
After she saw you nodded, her tears starting to fall more. She hug you once again, “You are really my daughter.” she whispered.
You were still speechless, didn’t know what to say. “I’m sorry if I left you there.” with that she released you from the hug. “This bracelet..” she raised once again, “..I left it to you so that I can still find you and now you’re here. In front of me. You didn’t know how happy I am now.” she said with a smile.
*What? She’s my mother?* you then quickly grabbed your bracelet from her hand, “Mianhe..” you whispered as you runaway.
As you passed by at the living room, L saw you.
“Hyemi-ah!” he called you but you didn’t look at him and just continue running until you completely disapeared ftom his sight.
L suddenly saw her omma trying to run after you, “Hyemi-ah!” she called.
L walks to her, “What’s happening omma? Why are you crying?” he asked in confusion.
“She’s my daughter..” she whispered. L frozed, “Y-Your daughter?” he gasped.
She nodded. “She’s my long lost daughter.” she managed to say.
*Hyemi is my omma’s daughter?..*
---
You keep on running, didn’t know where to go. Until you reach the Bus Stop and quickly ride the first bus that stopped.
Your tears starting to fall. *Why did she appeared just now? And out of the women here in Korea, why her? Why Myungsoo oppa’s omma? That means.. He’s my brother?..* you sadly thought as your tears keeps on falling.
As the bus suddenly stopped, you stood up and went out. The first place that crossed on your mind is the Orphanage.
Without any hesitation, you went there with so many thoughts on your mind.
