Cheesy;; Choi Minho Fanfiction

Act 4;; Ornaments

"Yay! Hana and Minho made it!"

"Finally!"

"What took you so long?"

"Aww, they're really going through with this dating thi- Oomf-"

"-Oh my gosh, shut up!"

In the evening, after spending the whole afternoon sleeping in my apartment, our friends called us out to eat in a new restaurant that Yurin found nearby. Even though I wasn't interested to go out, Minho was convinced that I was afraid of the public after being recognised as his girlfriend, so he thought that the best way to fix it was to force me out of my own home. He took my hand and practically dragged me to the bus stop and to the restaurant, and I only gave up the struggle when we got off the bus, when I knew I was already losing. And oddly enough, we held hands throughout the whole time - from my apartment to the restaurant.

It felt... Normal.

Normal?

Um- So- Anyway, when our friends meet up, we become one group - duh - and they all knew about our fake relationship. Our group consisted of me, Minho, Hyomin, Yurin, and Minho's closest friends, Jaehyun, his girlfriend, Jungyeon, and Minjae. We were always a group of seven when we were all together, and since the fake relationship started, there were two couples in our little group. We all met in High School and all attend Konkuk - with the exception of Jaehyun, who took a year off.

"Hey all," I greeted as I slipped into one of the empty seats between Hyomin and Minjae. "How late are we?"

"Like, half an hour?" Hyomin answered with a wink. "So, what did I miss out?"

I didn't lie to Hyomin. I told her everything from the beginning, what happened to me that morning to the cake eating and the sleeping on the couch. There weren't much to say since that sounded like something out of some drama that played on TV every night, and despite Yurin's googly eyes teasing me from beside Hyomin, I managed to tell my tale without choking from my own embarrassment. Although, throughout my explanation, I kept noticing movement beside me and couldn't hold in the urge to finally look once I finished my story, and there I saw Minho explaining something to his side of the friendship group with so much enthusiasm, expression and gestures that even I couldn't help myself listening in too.

Minho recalled of a recent incident that happened a few days back in the dorm he shared with his fellow group members, it involved Jonghyun, Jinki and Kibum while he and Taemin stayed on the couch playing a game on the Playstation. Apparently both Jonghyun and Kibum just cleaned up the floor after one of them spilled something from the dining table, then out of the blue, Jinki walked in with dirty feet from a schedule and slipped halfway through his sneaky entrance, where the bucket of water drenched him and landed on his knee. It sounded so much like it came straight from a comedy, if you asked me.

"-Hyung just fell and laughed after that." He chuckled near the end and he shook his head as he expressed his own disbelief that such an incident could happen outside of a television screen.

"What did Kibum-ssi do?" I gasped.

He turned to me, those charming brown eyes stared directly at me as he said, "He complained and nagged about the mess and cleaned up anyway."

We stared at each other for a few seconds before turning away at the same time, he looked towards the direction of his friends while I faced mine. Both Hyomin and Yurin grinned ear to ear, their eyebrows shifted up and down in unison as Hyomin leaned close, she tapped me on the arm and whispered, "It's getting there, Hana."

"Getting where?"

The two of them exchanged glances, their giggles made me nervous deep inside my stomach. I didn't know what they were saying or thinking about, and it gave me the chills the more they hinted about something I didn't know about. It freaked me out. I had another glimpse back at Minho, his conversation went back to the same intensity as before while Jungyeon cooked our meat. I still don't understand what they were seeing between us, because honestly, all I saw between us was a friendship that was playing a prank on the media.
