Chapter 7

"Of course. Please just get yourselves comfortable and make sure to stay warm. Ah, and Mistress, Master Lee asked me to inform you that they will be overseas for about a year dealing with a new business and hopefully to set up a new branch overseas. And, Young Masters will not be home tonight. Young Mistress Ji-Eun is still studying in for upcoming exams, so she will stay at her dorm. Young Master Taeyong dropped off some medicine earlier this evening. That is all." 

"Thank you Elena. You are always so reliable." I said. 

Elena bowed and then left us. 

"So, what do you guys wanna do for the time being?" I asked my friends. 

"Do you have video games?" Jeno asked curiously. 

Yeseul smacked him. 

"Oww~" He whined. 

"Don't be rude. We did not come to Mina's house to play games dimwit." Yeseul said harshly.m

"Jagiya, pleeeaaaaassseeee~" Jeno whined, pouting cutely. 

I chuckled at the couple. "It's alright, Yeseul. Jeno-ah~ we have plently of games. My brothers play a lot anyways. Jaemin, do you play?" 

"Uhm...a bit. I'll go hang out with Jeno. It seems like you girls should have some bonding time." Jaemin observed. He smiled. 

I smiled in return. "Sangmin!" I called. 

"Yes, Mistress." He said, rushing to the living room quickly. 

"Could you please escort these fine men to the game room? Mr. Jeno here is a little curious." I laughed. 

Jeno smiled and he looked like a samoyed dog. It was adorable. He was just like a little kid. 

"Of course. Sirs, please come with me." Sangmin said. 

"Don't forget to take your medicine, Mina and don't overwork yourself okay?" Jaemin reminded me. 

"I got it. Go play. Have fun!" I said, watching him disappear with Jeno to the game room. 

Yeseul and I walked to my room to talk. 

"Jaemin really likes you." Yeseul said out of the blue. 

"What?" 

"Yeah. He does. I can tell by the way that he looks at you." 

"No he doesn't. Even if he did like me, I don't see what he could find interesting in me." I said, sitting down on my bed. 

"Mm...you never know." Yeseul shrugged, laying down beside me on my bed. "Now, let's talk about what happened." 

I fell silent. 

"It was Yerim again wasn't it." Yeseul guessed.

I slowly nodded. "I went to the bathroom and then all of a sudden she comes from behind and then threatens to kill me if I don't leave Jaemin alone and it's scaring the shit out of me because what if Jaemin gets hurt in the process of this."

Yeseul groaned loudly.

I looked at her confused.

"You're too nice. In a situation where you could get severely injured, you are concerned over whether or not Jaemin is going to get hurt." Yeseul said. 

"Well, of course I am. I don't want him to get into the mess of Yerim and I. Anyways, she told me to leave Jaemin alone or else she would kill me. She slit my throat with the knife and then just walks out the bathroom. Then I heard she and Jaemin talking together. Jaemin asks if I was in the bathroom but Yerim outright lies to his face. I felt like be a bitch and walked out the bathroom. Then the three of us exchanged a few sentences and then Jaemin and I walked back to class. Once I got out of range from Yerim, I just couldn't hold my weight anymore. I was so dizzy and then I just collapsed. I woke up, finding myself in the hospital. The nurse explained to me what pretty much happened. Then Jaemin comes in looking all pale. After awhile, Markie and Taeyongie come over and turns out they know Jaemin. After a while of checkups, I came back to school and you know the rest." I explained. 

"Ugh, that psychopath." Yeseul scoffed. 

"It's okay though." I admitted. 

"What?" Yeseul looked at me, a look of confusion spreading across her face. 

"I was planning to...leave Jaemin quietly. Just drift away. He's only just another thing in my life that I need to give up. It's nothing too big." 

"NO!" Yeseul shouted. She quickly sat up. "Why in the hell would you do that? Are you actually blind or something? Can't you see that he actually cares for you? Jaemin cares about you, Mina! Did you not see the way that he was looking at you earlier? Do you not remember the way that he told you to take your medicine? He brought you to the hospital for crying outloud!"

"So? My brothers would tell me the same. But, he will get hurt if I stay as his friend for any longer." 

"No he is not the one that will get hurt. It's you who is going to get hurt." Yeseul said sternly, pointing at me. 

I could tell that she was angry. I didn't quite understand why she was so angry. Was it because I wanted to leave Jaemin? Is it because this was yet another thing I was going to give up for someone else? 

"Mina, I know you like him too. I can see it. I know it in my heart but you keep choosing not to accept it. Don't push him away, please. He's a good guy. As much as I sincerely love Jeno, I love Jaemin too. As a brother. There have been countless nights where Jeno would go on about Jaemin and how much of a caring brother Jaemin was. I couldn't believe what Jaemin did for the people he cared about. Mina, you need to keep him by your side." Yeseul begged. "It's for the better." 

"No, I don't like him. Sure, I find him to be nice and comfortable to be around, but all I see him as is a great companion." I said. 

Yeseul groaned and laid back down on my bed. 

I heard a knock on my door. 

"Come in." I said.

The door opened and Elena stepped. 

"Ah, Mistress. Sorry to intrude, but I finished baking some cookies and I also have some other snacks set up. Sangmin is going to get the boys to call them to watch a movie together. Would you like to join?" Elena asked. 

"Sure." I said. "Let's go Yeseul."

"Okay!" Yeseul said, getting up excitedly. 

We walked to the movie room and we coincidentally bumped into the boys. 

"Hey!" Jeno greeted. 

"Were the games fun?" I asked. 

"Dude! You have so many! It was AWESOME!! Can I come over more often?" Jeno asked. 

I laughed. "Of course. If you wanna come over with Yeseul, just hit me up."

Jeno pumped his fist in triumph. 

"Did you take your medicine?" Jaemin asked. 

"Oh yeah. I forgot. I'll go right now." I said. 

"I'll come with you then." Jaemin said. 

"Okay."  

Then together we walked to the kitchen where Taeyong had dropped off the medicine.
