----------------------------------

Mina's POV

I stood up and left the table. It was too uncomfortable for me.

"Wait for me!"

I turned back and looked. It was Mark oppa. He looked at me worriedly. Just then, Seol Ri came up and grabbed his hand. My heart dropped. Why do I have to see this?I turned around and ran off.

"Mina!! Where are you going??"

It was Jeno. I went to the park. It was the first place in the school that I have been in. With that person. I came to the exact same bench and sat down. Jeno came not long after.

"Are you okay?"-Jeno

"It hurts..."-Mina

Tears were welling up in my eyes. I blinked them away.

"I will be your protection cover. I will protect you." It ringed in my mind. Then, I could control it no longer. Tears left my eye and my cheeks were damp. At this exact same place. He said he will protect me. But now, he has someone else to protect. Suddenly, Jeno pulled me into a hug.

"Its okay."-Jeno

I cried in his arms. He felt like an older brother. His hug... It reminded me of the hug that we shared. Mark oppa and I... I cried even more. Slowly, I began to calm down and told everything to Jeno. Our time here, my feelings, my protection cover. Everything. It felt great to pour out everything in my heart. It was taking a toll on me and I felt relieved.

Mark's POV

Mina suddenly walked away. I am so worried about her... Unconsiously, I stood up and went after her. Then, someone grabbed my hand. It was Seol Ri.

"Oppa. I have to tell you something."-Seol Ri

She then pulled me somewhere else. I saw Jeno going after Mina. Jeno, please help me look after her for now...

"What do you want to say?"-Mark

"Oppa. I like you."-Seol Ri

I stood there. Dumbfounded. 

"Seol Ri ah..."-Mark

"Oppa, you don't have to say anything. I know that the one you like is Mina. I want to tell you that. When the opportunity comes, you must grab it. If you really like Mina, you should tell her. Although we are young, and we are trainees, you should make it known to her. Maybe after a few years, when we grow up, you guys can be together. Right?"-Seol Ri

"B..But I am not sure if the one she likes is me..."-Mark

"That is for you to find out, isn't it? Before she gets stolen, you should tell her. Don't be silly. Some opportunities will never come back once they go."-Seol Ri

I made up my mind and dashed out. Where can she be? 

At the park! Where I told her I will protect her! Mina!! Wait for me!!

I rushed to the park and saw.............. Mina and Jeno hugging each other. Seol Ri was right. She got stolen. And the one that needs to protect her isn't me anymore. I left the park, dejected.

------------Half an hour later-------------

"Hyung!"-Jeno

Jeno came into the room and pulled my collar. What does he want now? He already stole my Mina. Wait... she was never mine. 

"How can you do this to Mina!!! Do you know how sad she was!?"-Jeno

"Do what? What did I do to her?? She already has you. Right?!?!"-Mark pushed Jeno away.

"You hurt her heart! Why did you do this! If you like Seol Ri, why did you do this to her?!?!"-Jeno

"How would I hurt her heart when the one she likes is you!?!? Don't you know that the one I like is Mina? I never liked Seol Ri!!"-Mark

"Hyung! You are so dumb! The one she likes is you!!"-Jeno

His words rang in my head. Me? The one she likes is ........ Me? I stood there dumbfounded.

"Hyung. Although I really like her, I chose you over her. Our friendship and botherhood between us goes right beyond the love I have for Mina. I am willing to sacrifice myself if you gave her happiness. But you hurt her. If she didn't like you, why would she walk away whenever you talk to Seol Ri? If she didn't like you, why would she be angry that you never talk to her for the past few days? If she didn't like you, why would she cry? You know that she hardly cries!! She didn't cry when the teacher scolded her so badly for helping Fiona carry out her punishment. She didn't even cry when she had to dance continuously for 7 hours straight even when her knees are in bad condition. AND SHE CRIED FOR YOU!!!"-Jeno

She cried for me? Then, just now.... Jeno was hugging her to comfort her like I did last time right? I promised to protect her yet... I was the one who hurt her...

------------------------------------

Mina's POV

I was walking around the park. I lost my protection cover... I lost my protector... And I got hurt again... Tears were still flowing down my face. I had a tendency. I won't cry easily. However, when I cry, I will cry for a long time.

"Mina!! Mina!!"

I heard a familiar voice call out my name. Then, someone pulled me into a hug. I looked up. My vision was blurry due to the tears. The scent... Mark oppa! I quickly pulled away from the hug and walked away. I rubbed away the tears hurriedly.

"Why are you here?"-Mina

Then, I felt him hug me from behind. 

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I was supposed to be your protection cover, yet I was the one who hurt you... I'm sorry..."-Mark said with a soft voice

I felt my heart melt and I turned around and.... beat him.

"You stupid, dumb Mark oppa."-I said as I hit him. Tears started to form again.

"Now, can you forgive me?"-Mark said as he rubbed my tears away on my cheek.

"I thought you like Seol Ri?"-I pouted.

He pinched my nose and said,"No. I never liked her. I was only trying to comfort her. Her grandfather is sick so... The one I like is you!"

I felt my heart pound wildly and my ears and cheeks were blushing red. I didn't want to start dating so early. Deep down, I was happy that the one he like is me!! Hehe^^ I wanted to stay as friends.... for now.

"If you can catch me, I will forgive you!! :P"-Mina
