Secret love song - Yoohyeon

( I almost cried listening to this song shfghshdgahsg )

"♪When you hold me in the street And you kiss me on the dance floor I wish that it could be like that Why can't it be like that? Cause I'm yours~♪"

I heard a few people cheering while the others were already fully immersed in the song. I closed my eyes and fully indulged myself into the song with the thought of showing how special the lyrics are to me to none other than Minji herself.

"♪But we know this. We got a love that is hopeless♪"

"♪Why can't you hold me in the street? Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor? I wish that it could be like that Why can't it be like that? Cause I'm yours~♪"

I felt a sudden feeling in my heart that made my eyes feel heavy and I couldn't help myself but shed a single tear.

"♪Why can't I say that I'm in love? I want to shout from the rooftop~ I wish that we could be like that Why can't we be like that? Cause I'm yours♪"

I left my guitar on the ground and held the microphone with my hand.

"♪I wish that we could be like that, Why can't we be like that~?♪"

I opened my eyes to look at the audience and everyone was silent. I thought that I must've done badly, but then I heard clapping from one part of the audience and then from the other one. Slowly, everyone was cheering and clapping, some were even crying to the song.

I turned my gaze to my friends - they were all drenched in tears. I haven't seen Bora sob so much before, that she even hid her face behind Siyeon, who was not any better than her. I looked at Yoojung and he had that 'proud brother' expression on his face that I couldn't help but giggle at how funny he looked while trying to maintain himself from releasing his tears.

I tried to find the gaze of one particular person and when I noticed her in the corner of my eye, I couldn't hide how surprised I was. Minji was not holding herself back at all. She let numerous teardrops escape her gorgeous eyes. She flashed me a bright smile and slowly moved towards me through the huge crowd. I put my microphone aside and smiled back, waiting for her to walk up to me with my heart beating rapidly because of the many emotions I was feeling.

She got up the stage and hugged me, holding me tight and gently putting one hand on the back of my head and pulling me close by my waist with her other hand. We didn't care about the large audience, we just wanted to be in our own embraces for as long as possible. She pulled out the hug and cupped my cheeks, staring at my eyes and beautifully sobbing while smiling at the same time.

"Y-You were amazing... I-I'm so sorry Yoohyeon... I'm so sorry for hurting you.."

"Don't be sorry Minji, I was the reason why you were in so much pain.. I should be the one to apologize to-"
