Seohee~

"That you want to break up with me... you don't want anything to do with a murderer right? You're scared that what happened to him might happened to you as well." I mumbled while tears fell from my eyes.

Guanlin looked at me in disbelief, but he stood up right after and unexpectedly hugged me.

"I'm not breaking up with you," He stroked my back and spoke with a soothing voice. "I'm just upset that you hid that from me... but I won't leave you. Now that I know, I actually want to take care of you even more. You deserve to be happy- and I want to help you." He wiped my tears away.

"Thanks for being very understanding, and thank you for not leaving me, like everyone else- just like my own mother."

Guanlin kissed me on the forehead, and we just ended up staying like that for a while. I felt secured, and the pain in my heart suddenly started to go away, little by little.

My eyelids felt heavy, and I then fell asleep...

"Wake up, love birds. It's morning!" Seonho yelled.

I opened my eyes and the very first thing I saw was Guanlin. Ah~ what a very nice site to see, first thing in the morning.

"Good morning." He mumbled with his morning voice. It's so attractive.

"Good morning." I replied and we continued cuddling on the couch.

"Pfft. Okay bye, I'm going to piano." Seonho smirked.

"Piano my ass." Guanlin muttered, and we all laughed.

We went out on a date after taking another nap. Spring is coming, and the cherry blossoms started to fall.

"I hope we'll always stay like this." Seohee whispered, as we walked hand-in-hand.

We didn't notice the time, and it was starting to get dark outside. We decided to go to Pinky's aunt's café to get some hot chocolate, since it was getting a bit chilly outside.

"Pinky!" Seohee hugged her. "And Baejin, you're here too?"

"I'm always here." Baejin chuckled.

"Damn, man- the dedication." I finally came in.

"Y-you two aren't fighting?" Pinky looked at us in surprise.

"Why would we? There's no point in that at all- we're perfectly fine now. We talked it over." I put an arm around Seohee's shoulders and she nodded.

"Thank goodness that you know now- I feel bad whenever I keep secrets." Baejin sighed but then laughed right after.

Pinky went on a break, and we all made the best of it by going to the park nearby and hanging out there.

Ring*

...Dad calling...

"Guys, let me get this." I told them, as I went to a distant and answered his call.

"Guanlin..." He started.

"Guys, let me get this." Guanlin said, as he went somewhere else to answer it.

We continued talking, but I felt anxious to find out why he was taking so long. Who is he talking to, and what are they talking about?

After a few more minutes, Guanlin came back to us, but his mood has changed. From being super happy, he now looks stressed and angry.

"Who was that?" I asked.

"It was my father; don't worry about it." He patted my head, and pulled me into a hug.

"You can always talk to me. Us." I pointed at Pinky and Baejin, and they nodded in agreement.

"I know. What my father and I just talked about, isn't really a big deal. I can handle it myself."

"Alright..."

We dropped Pinky back to the café, and Baejin went home. Guanlin walked me to my house, but he acted different from usual- like he was being sentimental.

He stayed quiet the whole walk, but he stared at me the whole time.

"I love you." He randomly pulled me into a very tight hug, but I could still feel the comfort in it.

Couples shouldn't hide things from each other- we just discussed that yesterday.

But why do I feel like he's hiding something from me?
