Min Hao carefully opened the door. Then, he slowly realized that his teammates were all asleep.
She slowly placed Min on the sofa in the dark. She thought that everyone was asleep, but Key came out in a daze.
"Minhao, you're back. What's this?”Key's eyes were wide open as he looked at Min.
"It's a person, my friend." Min Hao said expressionlessly.
"Drinking, your friend, drinking, female.”Key walked into Min, sniffed, and then hid far away.
"Why are you reacting so strongly?" Min Hao said.
"No, I just wanted to take a look. Are you planning to let her stay here tonight?”Key said in surprise.
"En, that's right. There's nowhere to go.”Min Hao said firmly.
"Then where will she sleep?" Key pointed at Min and said.
"Sleep on the sofa. Otherwise, why would I let her sleep on my bed? What if Brother Wenliu runs into my bed?”? Min Hao said in a logical manner. It made sense. The five of them were still sleeping in the same room.
"Oh, okay, you can arrange it yourself. I'm going to sleep. Don't forget, there's a special stage for Hello tomorrow.”Key went back to his room to sleep.
After helping Min clean up, Min Hao went to sleep. But that night, he kept coming to the living room to take a look.
There was something unusual about Min, and it could be said that he had not slept for the entire night.
If it was tomorrow.
Unfortunately, if Min knew that she was M, he would tell her the truth.
If he didn't know, then forget it and continue like this.
Actually, Min Hao wanted Min to know that he was a masochist, but he didn't have the courage to say it.
What was he afraid of?
The sun rose slowly, and everyone woke up. They even lay in bed for a while.
Then, Wenliu said," Everyone, get up."
Wenliu walked out of the room first. Min Hao hadn't slept all night, so he was a little sleepy in the morning.
When he reached the living room, he was shocked. Where did a girl come from?
"Ah." Wen Liu cried out in fear.
Then, Zhong Xuan also came out. When he saw it, he also called out.
Key walked out slowly. "I knew you guys would be scared, haha.”
"Brother, what are you guys doing?" Tai Min also poked his head out to take a look, but there was no reaction.
Min Hao came out and rubbed his eyes.
"I'm sorry, he's my friend." Min Hao explained.
Min was woken up and rubbed his eyes.
She opened her eyes and saw five men looking at her. She was so scared that she didn't even dare to blink. Then, she saw Hao Min.
Min Hao felt nervous when he saw Min. Did she know that she was a masochist?
"Where am I?" Min covered himself with the blanket.
"Um, Min, you were drunk yesterday. Then, I bumped into you on the road and you were unconscious. I had no choice but to bring you to our dormitory.”Min Hao explained.
"I'm drunk." Min thought for a moment, but he couldn't remember. He quickly got off the sofa, stood on the ground, and bowed.
"I'm sorry to disturb you. I'm Minhao's classmate. I'm Min.”Min said politely.
The other four people were stunned. Wen Liu felt that she looked familiar. Right, he remembered. Wasn't she the girl who crossed the road last time? Was she someone that Min Hao liked?
Wenliu, you always like to guess.
"It's okay, it's okay. I am the master KEY of SHINee.”Key said as he waved his hand. Then, he ran to the bathroom and closed the door with a smile.
Everyone also introduced themselves, using the same old words.
Then, Zhong Xuan ran over as well.
Then, there were only the four of them left. She looked at him, and he looked at her.
'It's been so long, but Min still hasn't remembered. He must have forgotten what happened last night,' Min Hao thought as he ate.
Min had already left. He left in a hurry. Min Hao looked empty again.
"This girl is so beautiful.”Zhong Xuan said.
When Min Hao heard Zhong Xuan say that Min was good-looking, he immediately reacted.
"She used to be blind and only recovered recently. Also, I don't know what Xiao Ying has been doing recently.”Min Hao deliberately mentioned Xiao Ying. What a joke.
"Actually, it's true. A girl without makeup. And she just woke up. She's still so good-looking.”Zhong Xuan said.
Min Hao's gaze was a little evil.
Zhong Xuan continued to eat his food and then stopped talking.
Just like that, they finished their meal in silence. Everyone set off to the beauty salon to do their styling and whatnot.
It was all for today's CP.
Min walked on the road, thinking about what happened last night, but he couldn't remember it no matter how hard he tried.
What was going on? As they walked, they passed by the supermarket. They went in to buy something. The things they had at home were all gone.
She pushed the cart and walked numbly, not knowing what to buy.
Just as she was in a daze, someone spoke to her.
"Little girl, it's you." A middle-aged woman said.
"Eh? Little girl, auntie, did you get the wrong person?”Min said with a smile.
Min was so polite to everyone.
"No, you're the little girl who came to our house last time.”the woman continued.
"I've been to your house. Auntie, I'm sorry. Did you really get the wrong person?”Min said doubtfully.
"Oh, I forgot. The last time you came, you couldn't see.”the auntie said.
Min thought about it carefully. He had only been to M's house, and there was no other place.
Could it be that she was someone related to M?
He had caught hope.
"Auntie, did your son bring me back?”Min asked.
"That's right. It was our Jia Hao who brought you back. You haven't forgotten, right?”The woman replied in confusion.
"Hao, who is it?" Min's heart began to churn with guesses. Could it be that that person was...
"Cui Minhao, our son is very famous. She's a member of SHINee." The woman gave him a thumbs up.
When Min heard this, his heart felt as if it had been pricked by something.
What was going on? M was Min Hao, and Min Hao was M.
Why did she lie to him? What was this?
Min stood rooted to the ground. Suddenly, a scene flashed through his mind.
It was the scene from last night. She was crying on someone's shoulder. Didn't that person promise to be a masochist?
When she woke up this morning, she realized that it was Minhao. It was really him.
Her eyes turned red.
"Little girl, what's wrong? Why are you crying?”The auntie comforted her.
"No, no, hehe." Min lowered his head and smiled.
"By the way, there's Min Hao's CG stage tonight. Let's go and watch it together.”It seemed like Auntie really doted on Min.
"Oh, auntie, I'm sorry. I still have something to do.”Min said.
"Your eyes have recovered, right? You look a little haggard. Have you eaten breakfast?”Auntie was really concerned about Min. Min felt it himself, so he was touched.
"It's okay. It's really okay. Thank you." Min's voice was choked with sobs.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Tell me." Auntie was really a warm-hearted person.
Under the guidance of the auntie, Min came to their house and saw Minxi, a brother who was completely different from Minhao.
There was also that father Cui. The strict father Cui was not very strict. He was very kind.
Everyone treated Min very well, as if Min was the likable type.
When they were ready to set off, Min also agreed to watch the performance on the CP stage.
What kind of mood did he bring?
Another chapter.
Currently, Wenliu, Key, and Zhong Xuan's CP were gathered together to watch their CP stage.
"Aiyo, when do we really have to wait until it starts?”Anna said (Look, look, it's not your man, what are you so excited about? Besides, your man's show is still coming up.) You must be anxious to see Li Zhun.)
"I don't know. I'll just wait.”The monster comforted Anna.
"Hehe, what kind of image will he appear in?”Mu Xi said with a smile.
"It must be handsome. I wonder how high the insoles Zhong Xuan needs to put.”Jia Ying frowned.
At that time, everyone present burst out laughing.
"Hey, Xiao Ying, don't forget about Zhong Xuan.”Anna was laughing so hard that she almost passed out.
"That's right. If he hears this, he'll be furious.”The monsterlings laughed.
"Actually, Xiao Ying is worried about Zhong Xuan.”Mu Xi said.
"Yes, yes. If you wear too high, what if you fall while dancing?”Jiaying, you really care about Zhong Xuan.
"Aiya, Wenliu, are you very tired? Recently, she had been rushing to attend a musical and had many MCs. She was afraid that her body would not be able to take it.”Mu Xi's eyes were filled with worry.
"Yes, being an artiste is a very tiring thing. Although there are thousands of admirers, it's really tiring.”The monster said.
"It's okay. We're supporting you and being the best backup.”Jia Ying said.
"Hehe, that's right. Don't worry.”Anna was also comforting Mu Xi.
Then, everyone braced themselves and waited for the upcoming match.
" It's just that he's been so busy recently that he doesn't have much time to date me. I'm not asking Wenliu to have time to accompany me, I just want to relieve his fatigue. Every time I receive a call, my heart aches, really.”Sunset Creek.
"Yes, but this is their career and their dream. Since they have made the choice, they can't regret it.”Jia Ying.
"Muxi…" The monster touched Mu Xi's shoulder.
"There was one time when I saw Wenliu doing something funny to create a funny atmosphere. He actually fell to the ground, do you know? Seeing that video really hurt. At that time, I really wanted to rush over and give him a slap, but I couldn't do anything. I could only cry quietly. I was afraid, really afraid, and my heart ached.”Mu Xi's tears seemed to have started to flow.
Everyone fell silent.
No matter what, he couldn't hurt his body, right?
"Brother Wenliu is the most tired, so sometimes I'll ask Key to help him.”the monster said.
"Yeah, I will too, so Muxi, don't worry.”Jia Ying.
It was really like this. You had to take good care of your body.
Sun, love you.
The side story ended.
The people in front and behind were all children who were waiting for Shinee and CP.
Perhaps today was really a good day?
But why was Min unable to get his spirits up?
It seemed ridiculous to watch the show with Hao Min's family.
Min wanted to run away, but she really didn't know what to do. She really wanted to know why Min Hao was ignoring her.
Then, he wouldn't tell her that he was a masochist.
He really wanted to know.
So, he would just keep watching and find a chance to explain.
They entered the venue together. There were VIP seats in front.
Min then sat at the spot closest to the stage. Min came in wearing sunglasses.
She put on her sunglasses. She didn't want Min Hao to see her and affect her mood.
This was the best solution.
After another round of boiling emotions.
Slowly, rhythmic music began to play. Then, the fans below the stage shouted HELLO,HELLO, and cooperated with the performances of the SHINEE. SHW was the strongest.
The lights, the movement, the music, everything came together, and then there was a rhythmic dance.
It conquered everyone present.
The performance was wonderful. Min did not change his position and just looked at Min-Hao.
When Min Hao saw his family coming, he immediately smiled. Otherwise, he would usually have a serious expression on his face.
Then, she saw a girl sitting next to her mother. She was wearing sunglasses and looked familiar. Was it Min?
Alright, I have to perform well now. I can't be distracted.
It was perfect. It ended perfectly. The CP ended perfectly once again. It was very successful.
Min Hao's mother called out to him.
"Little girl, do you want to go backstage with us?”the auntie said.
Just as Min was hesitating, Min Xi pulled him away.
Min followed them backstage. He didn't dare to say anything and just lowered his head quietly.
"Hao, congratulations." his mother said.
"Yes. Mom, you're all here." Min Hao's laughter was so hearty.
"Of course, I'm here to support you." Min Xi said.
"Hehe, where's Dad? I saw Dad on stage just now." Min Hao said.
"He had something to do and left first." his mother said.
"Oh." At this moment, Min Hao saw Min through the gap.
Her eyes were fixed on Min.
"Minhao, the little girl who came to our house last time is here too.”As her mother spoke, she was stunned when she saw Min Hao's expression.
"What's wrong?" Min Xi said.
"Nothing, nothing." Min Hao explained.
Min kept his head lowered and did not look up.
"Oh right, Mom, we still have something to do. We'll be leaving first.”Min-Seok, you really have good eyes.
"Sigh, do we have something to do?" Mom, you're really…
"Alright, Hao, we'll be leaving first. Girl, we're leaving." Min Xi said.
"Oh, I see. Auntie, Brother Minxi, take care." Min said.
"Okay, okay. Little girl, come to our house to play when you're free.”Mom was really passionate.
"Alright." Min agreed with a smile.
The atmosphere was a little tense. The two of them were standing face to face while the other four were watching someone else's performance.
The show began.
Min Hao brought Min to a quiet place.
After staying silent for a while, Min slowly spoke.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Min was just a few simple words.
"I'm looking for an opportunity." Min Hao said.
"Chance, opportunity, isn't it every day? You could've told me since the day you saw me.”Min was a little excited.
"Min, I have many reasons that I can't say.”Min Hao said.
"Then, say it now. I'm listening.”Min。
" I... What should I say? I..." Min Hao really didn't know what to say.
Min looked at Min Hao's expression and blamed himself.
He turned around and left. Min Hao wanted to grab hold of him, but he couldn't.
Min was also waiting for the strength of that hand, but it did not.
He turned around and left.
At this moment, he did not want to hear anything.
Why did he have to do this?
Min was in a terrible mood when he returned home.
He kept a straight face and didn't speak much. Everyone could tell that Min was in a bad mood.
Therefore, they didn't ask much.
Dong Ling asked Min.
"Min, what's wrong? You don't even have the energy to eat.”Dong Ling asked Min.
Min didn't hear Dong Ling's words. He kept eating his rice and looked at the table.
After that, Xiaoxi used her arm to ask Min, and Min finally reacted.
"Ai, Dong Ling is talking to you?”Xiaoxi said as she ate.
"Oh, what's wrong with Dongling?" Min asked.
"It's alright now. Let's eat, hehe." Dong Ling smiled awkwardly.
Min also smiled and left after eating.
"I'm done." Min said.
She lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. She didn't know how to face Min Hao tomorrow.
Since he had already said those words, he really couldn't salvage anything.
If that pair of hands had stopped her back then, she wouldn't have to think so much now.
She didn't want to think about it anymore. She didn't want to think about it anymore. She would always make herself suffer.
But how could he control himself from thinking about it?
Min Hao lay on the bed, thinking about what happened today.
What was going on? Min was angry and couldn't forgive himself.
Was it?
What should he do? If he explained, would Min still listen?
However, how should I explain it?
What should he say?
Would Min understand?
Or did I misunderstand Min and have been the one who was wrong since the end?
Don't, don't, don't think about it anymore.
"Ah, what should we do?" Min hurriedly panicked.
Min had woken up late.
"Min, what's wrong? Why are you so agitated?”Dong Ling said.
"I'm going to be late. Really." Min got out of bed and ran to the bathroom to brush his teeth. He squeezed some toothpaste and put it in his mouth.
Then, he was stopped by Dong Ling's words.
"Are you an idiot? It's Saturday today. Why are you in school?”Dong Ling looked at Min and said with a smile.
"Oh, Saturday," Min looked at his messy reflection in the mirror.
Oh, so it was Saturday today. He didn't go to school, so what was he so nervous about?
She brushed her teeth slowly.
After packing up, she went downstairs.
Everyone got up. Min greeted them and went to eat. He didn't know what to do.
He felt that everything had suddenly changed. It had become so boring and empty.
She had never felt that way before. What was going on today?
"Min, let's go out and play.”Xiaoxi giggled.
"Go play." Min asked.
"Yeah, it's rare that you're free, so I wanted to bring you around.”Xiaoxi said.
"Oh, where are we going?" Min also wanted to look around and relax.
He couldn't just think about this matter.
"Let's go, just follow me, haha.”Xiaoxi brought Min out to play.
Dong Ling heard everything from behind. Can't you bring me along?
Min stopped when he reached the door.
"Where's Dongling? Ask her to come along." Min said.
"Will she go?" Xiaoxi said.
"Why wouldn't I? How can I go if I don't call him?”Min。
Xiaoxi turned around and ran to look for Dong Ling. When Dong Ling saw Xiaoxi running over, she quickly hid.
"Dongling, Dongling, where are you? Come out quickly, let's go out and play together.”Xiaoxi called out.
"Oh, I'm here." Dong Ling slowly walked out.
"Let's go play." Xiaoxi said with a smile.
"Yes." Dong Ling smiled as well. Dong Ling was a very innocent girl.
Let's go on a beautiful autumn outing together.
Minho, go with Key to take over today.
The program on the radio station, Kissthe Reddie.
"Let's perform well today." Key patted Min Hao and said.
"Show what?" Min Hao asked.
"To show our artistic sense. You've been so popular recently that you don't even know.”Key shouted.
"Oh, hehe, that's it." Min Hao smiled and left.
She was still a shirt lover. The bye-bye shirt looked really good on her.
Key, you're always so trendy. You're really a trendy kid.
"Just smile. Don't keep a straight face. Who provoked you?”Key said.
"Hehe." Min Hao gave a fake smile.
She thought to herself,'To think that you still dare to criticize me. Recently, when my relationship was frustrated, my eyeballs were about to fall out, yet you still dare to criticize me.'
"That's right. Let's go." Key grabbed Min Hao's hand and ran towards the radio station.
(Alright, I admit that Min Key has been gaining momentum recently.)）
An outing was an outing, and a job was a job.
Actually, what was the reason for all this? Relax.
Was the weather really exceptionally good?
The sun was shining brightly. Min closed his eyes and enjoyed the sunshine.
This feeling was really familiar. In the past, when he couldn't see, he relied on this feeling to exist.
Now, he could see it?
Min opened his eyes and saw the gorgeous sunlight and beautiful surroundings. He immediately smiled brightly.
He seemed to be in a much better mood.
"Look at this. It looks good, right?" Xiaoxi picked up a flower and placed it beside Min's hair.
Min smiled and thanked her, feeling as though he had left Dong Ling out in the cold.
He hinted at Xiaoxi to pick one for Dong Ling, and Xiaoxi giggled as she picked one for Dong Ling and placed it beside her bangs.
At this moment, Dong Ling's heart was filled with excitement, but also sorrow.
Was she nothing in his heart?
Alright, then, can I look at you from afar?
No, I should be able to give up on you.
"Let's go. What are you thinking about?" Min pulled Dong Ling and walked forward.
"Wait for me." Xiaoxi followed behind him.
It was also good to relax.
In the radio station, the place that was still quiet was no longer as boring because of Key and Minhao.
She was hosting and taking responsibility for her brothers, doing her best.
"Ah, I was so funny today.”Key said.
"En, hehe, it's alright. You're like that every day. I'm used to it.”Min Hao said.
"You're used to it, right?" Key stared at Min Hao.
"Hey, don't be like this. I'm not GAY.”Min Hao said as he pushed the Key.
"Come on, I'm not either. Besides, I have my little monsters.”Key said in a bored tone.
"Then why are you looking at me?" Min Hao said.
"I see that your eyes aren't as lively as before. Wasn't your artistic sense pretty good in the past?”Key looked at Min Hao, but Min Hao didn't look at Key. He smiled.
"Yeah, but it doesn't feel like it used to.”Minho.
"I just heard from the staff that it's raining outside.”Key said.
"Isn't the weather very good today? Why did it suddenly rain?" Min Hao said and looked outside. He didn't see anything.
"Is the weather as fickle as people's moods?”Key's unintentional words seemed to have touched Min Hao's heart.
He sat there in a daze.
"Why did it rain so suddenly?”Xiaoxi grumbled as she took off her clothes and placed them over Min and Dong Ling's heads.
The three of them ran on the road while they were drenched in the rain. There was no place to hail a taxi.
Min stopped running.
Had he been to that place before? Why did that feeling force him so deeply?
"What's wrong with you? Why aren't you leaving?”Dong Ling asked Min.
Min shook his head." You guys go ahead. I have something to do."”
Min turned around and ran back.
"Hey, where are you going?" Xiaoxi called out from behind.
"I'll be back in a while. Don't worry about me.”Min said as he turned and walked away.
Dong Ling and Xiaoxi were the only ones left. Wasn't this exactly what Dong Ling wanted?
However, Dong Ling looked a little scared. Will Xiaoxi eat you up?
"Then, let's go back." Xiaoxi said to Dong Ling.
"Oh." Dong Ling answered carefully.
"I don't know what she's thinking. She's changed so much.”Xiaoxi said.
"En, it's alright." Dong Ling said slowly.
"Let's go home. I'll make my specialty dishes.”Xiaoxi said.
"Yes." Dong Ling's smile was filled with happiness. It must be her first time being alone with Xiaoxi.
Min stood alone on the rainy road, standing in front of the store, in front of the soju shop.
Why was this feeling so strong?
This was an unfamiliar shop. Why did it feel so familiar?
Had he been here before? Or did something happen?
However, her memories forced her to remember that time when it was raining and she was waiting for Min Hao to arrive.
That kind of feeling was still lingering.
Min's tears also flowed down. I like you, I like you, I really like you.
But why did you lie to me?
You're a big star and I'm nothing. Do you think we're not suitable for each other or something?
It was you. The encouragement you gave me gave me so much confidence to perform the surgery, but now, there's nothing left, right?
The taste of rain and tears mixed together was really not good.
Have you ever experienced the feeling of standing alone in the rain?
Min was such a stubborn person.
Min Hao and Key sat in the van and were about to go home.
When Min Hao saw the back of the car, he insisted on getting out of the car, but his manager couldn't stop him.
Hao Min wanted to get out of the car and say that he wanted to go back later. Hao Min had never had such an expression before.
Key was also curious about what had happened to Min.
The car drove away. Min Hao walked beside Min, holding an umbrella.
Min looked up and saw the umbrella, then Min Hao.
Min Hao's expression was one of despair. He didn't know why Min was standing there alone.
Speaking of which, this was the place where she was drunk the last time.
"Don't get sick." Min Hao's simple words sank deep into Min's heart.
"You still care about me?" Min, your question is so childish.
How could Min Hao not care about you? It's just that you're too stubborn to hear her explanation. He's introverted.
He's shy when it comes to relationships. It's because of this that you like him so much, isn't it?
"Silly girl, I'll send you back. Otherwise, you'll really get sick.”Min Hao smiled.
It was as if nothing had happened.
Min Hao, you've mustered up your courage, haven't you? Don't be like before, okay?
Whatever you think in your heart is what it is. Don't run away from your feelings anymore, okay?
"I don't want to go back. I, I want to drink.”Min didn't know why he said that.
"No, why don't we go to my house? You're drenched all over now. You have to change your clothes too.”After saying that, Min Hao pulled Min into his arms and walked towards the subway station with the umbrella.
Only in Min Hao's embrace could she feel safe. That feeling was back.
No one would have imagined that in such weather and such a scene, the person under the umbrella was Minho, the shining Minho.
Min's smile gradually appeared. The two of them sat in the corner of the subway. Min looked miserable.
"I'm sorry." Min said.
"Don't say sorry. I'm sorry.”Min Hao said.
"Because of my stubbornness, it must have been hard on you.”Min, you're finally enlightened.
"No, don't blame yourself. If you want to blame someone, blame me.”Min Hao said.
Min laughed and looked at Min Hao.
"I'm in such a sorry state." Min said.
"No matter what you are, I like you.”Min Hao's confession was successful.
Min lowered his head in embarrassment and smiled. It was the first time he had heard such words.
They had arrived. They had arrived so quickly. Min Hao pulled Min along as they ran back. The umbrella was right above their heads.
Along the way, she smiled happily and ran home.
"Wait." Min stopped Min Hao from pressing the doorbell.
"What's wrong?" Min Hao looked at Min and said.
"No, I'm just a little nervous.”Min adjusted his bangs.
"It's not like I haven't seen it before. Seriously, what's there to be nervous about? Let's go.”After saying that, Min Hao turned around and looked at Min with a cheeky smile.
"Don't tell me you thought you went to see your parents-in-law.”Minhao, you know how to joke.
"Uh, how could that be?" Min looked a little flustered.
"Don't be angry. Let's go, let's go. We'll have to watch it sooner or later anyway.”Min Hao's words were right.
Sooner or later, you'll have to meet him. Are you going to marry Min?
It was Min Xi who opened the door. When he saw his brother and Min, he was a little surprised.
His mouth was wide open.
"What's wrong with you guys? What TV series are you filming?”Min Xi said.
"I didn't film a TV series. I just got caught in the rain.”Min Hao said as he held Min's hand and walked in.
"You guys?" Min Xi was confused.
"Hello," Min greeted him with a smile.
"Mhm, you too." Min-Seok, don't you think your answer is weird? You too...
Min Hao brought Min to the house. Min didn't dare to go in. His whole body was wet. It would be troublesome later.
"Yo, what's going on today? Our Hao Min is back.”Mom said, but she hadn't turned around to look.
"Hello, Auntie?" Min greeted.
"What is it? The little girl is here too, right?" When her mother heard the voice, she turned around and saw that it was Min, and she was happy.
"Yes, I'm sorry, Auntie. I'm drenched by the rain. I'll have to trouble you.”Min, you're so obedient.
"No, no, hurry up and change your clothes. Otherwise, it won't be good if you catch a cold later.”The auntie pulled Min away.
He left Min Hao in the living room.
Min Hao was a little confused as he muttered to himself.
"No way, ignoring my existence?”As Min Hao spoke, he frowned.
"You, be content. Mom, she's crazy about Min now. Dad said that Mom still wants a daughter?”Min Hao's eyes almost fell out of their sockets when he heard what Min Xi said.
Min, looks like you're still very popular with everyone.
