"When did you two meet?"

Cheol-min's manager was laid back relaxed, after the photoshoot was finished, he couldn't of been happier to have time alone for her but his manger's curiosity grew.

"Junior high, she was a high schooler." He laughed, lying about this all felt so natural to him but he didn't want to admit about that text from a stranger in a limo.

"Been friends since, huh?" He asked, Min-Seo smiled glancing to Cheol-min.

"We broke off for a few years," she laughed, her smile lit his heart, "but about year ago again we met up again."

It's so hard for Cheol-min to believe they've been talking to one another for a year now, when did these feelings bubble up for him? How? Why? Hr smiled to himself. When would he tell her?

"Can't believe how much you've changed!" He laughed, "it's a good thing."

Min-Seo could feel her heart flutter, if these feelings kept changing she wouldn't be able to keep them in, but what would happen if she told him? Would everything change?

"Listen, I understand that you both good friends but Cheol-min," his manager looked to him, "think about you're career, it's shooting off so be careful."

"What's to be careful about?" He asked, "she's my friend, I'll hang out with her if I want."

He felt happy to say that.

"I understand but be careful, just don't do anything that would spark anything bad." His manger said standing, "listen, I gotta go talk with the director about the air date, Min-Seo, thank you for hiring us for the ad."

Hr bowed sending thanks to her, he left the room leaving the two alone. He was more nervous than ever as the silence took over, words came so easy over the phone but with their hearts so close now, what would he say?

"Do you think anything changed?"

He looked to Min-Seo, her eyes we're on him, he smiled.

"I don't think so, I think we're just......" His voice trailed.

"Scared?"

"Nervous," he smiled, "we're nervous."

"That's one word for not," she laughed softly. "Do you think we'll be okay?"

"About what? Seeing each other?"

"Yeah, you saw how many people saw us huh, say we were friends?" Min-Seo tucked papers into her purse, "I'm sure Twitter is blown up by now."

He never fought of that, he wanted to meet her so bad he didn't think of the publicity that would follow. He pulled his phone tapping on Twitter.

"Wow."

She leaned close, her long hair grazing his hair sending electricity up his arm.

"On the set of an ad shooting, Cheol-min meets up with childhood friend." She read the words with amusement, "they bought it?"

He laughed smiling softly, "I guess so, that's a good thing isn't it?"

"Yeah."

He scrolled through texts of fans now, "they're mad."

"Like I said, half of Korea wants to date you." She laughed.

His eyes closed, should he tell her now? Cheol-min kept silent as she read the tweets others posted, it was a creepy game they were playing, who would posts the angriest words because he didn't want them.

"I don't want to date them," he put his phone in his pocket looking her in the eyes.

She smiled nervously, "what?"

He sighed, he had to to her or he keep it in and let her slip away, "I don't want to date them, there's someone else I fell for, I mean I didn't mean to but I did."

"What are you saying?" She whispered.

"How did you do it? How did you make me fall in love with you?" Cheol-min felt so empty as he said those things, "I didn't think we would talk this long but we did, and kept talking, and the more we did the more I wanted to be with you because I felt so empty not being able to be around you."

She stood knocking the chair to the floor.

"I-I have to go now." She bowed, "thank you for the business."

She left him alone in the break room, alone again, and again he was surrounded by all these shouting girls who wanted to be so close but yet they knew nothing about him.

Why did he say such a stupid thing?
