Maknae POV part 6
Waking up, I stretched and grinned contentedly. Straining my ears, I could hear no noise in the hostel. It was my day off today, but sadly, I was by myself today.
Rolling out of bed and getting up, I decided I would go out for lunch and then just chill at home. Getting dressed, I glanced at the clock and realized that it was already noon. Grabbing my mini-bag and slinging it over my shoulder, I put on my high-top sneakers and glanced in the full length mirror, checking my outfit. I was wearing faded skinny jeans with a baggy t-shirt that was tight around the bottom. It had a cute nerd Hello Kitty on it. I grinned at the cute shirt, and went back to get a beanie and touch up on my make-up. Nodding at the look, I grabbed my iPhone off the counter and left.
Walking down the road towards the bus stop, I brushed my bangs out of my eyes as my phone vibrated. Glancing at it, I inwardly squealed as I saw the name.

From: nguyenn_
Yup! ^^ K, see you.
I looked up from my phone to see him getting out of the company van. Waiting for the cross light to change, I smiled and waved at him. It was amazing that no one had recognized me yet.
"Is that Mochi? From Momo?!" I heard a squeal and turned to see a group of three girls and two guys running towards me. I sighed. That's what I got for thinking about it. I glanced at Jungmin and signalled for him to wait.
Smiling at the group of teenagers, I said hello and bowed to them. Thrusting pieces of paper at me, I quickly signed them and jumped when I felt an arm wrap around my waist. I jumped and turned to hit the person who was holding me, but then I recieved a big shock; it was Jungmin. He grinned lazily and leaned his chin on my shoulder. I blushed and turned back to the Lovelies and continued signing their CD's and posters. But they were too busy gaping at Jungmin to hand me their things.
"Let's go, Jess-yah. I'm hungry." his deep voice entered my ears and made my heart thump. I nodded mutely and numbly turned to walk to the restaurant. I could hear whispering from the Lovelies behind me, but my mind could not take this in, as all I could feel was Jungmin's arm around me as we walked.
---
After eating with Jungmin, he had to go back to the One World recording studio and I decided to walk back home. I was worried about the fans who had seen me and Jungmin. Checking the internet gossip sites, I saw nothing about our supposed "date".
Giving a sigh of relief, I changed into my pajamas and when to chill on the living room floor with my phone. I had been asked to make a schedule for Jungmin because we, as Momo, were technically the top of One World Entertainment (a sub-company under One Company) got to control most of the scheduling. I had made his schedule almost the same as mine.. with a few different days and such as to not create suspicion. Grinning to myself, I started browsing through the pictures I had taken of Jungmin sleeping in the early, early mornings. Dragging a finger down the side of his face, I giggled softly to myself as I thought about what had happened at lunch today.
I hugged my phone to my chest as I flopped onto the floor and squealed. Glancing at the clock, I realized that Jungmin should be on his way home soon. Rolling on the floor giddily, I accidently slammed my shin against the wooden coffee table leg. Clutching it in pain, I hugged my leg as tears sprang to my eyes. Counting slowly in my mind, the pain started to subside as I heard a click.
Sitting up abruptly, completely forgetting about the fading pain in my leg, I grinned as I knew Jungmin was home. I could hear footsteps coming closer and closer to the living room as I played with my phone, pretending that I wasn't anticipating his arrival. When the footsteps had arrived in the living room, I glanced up and pretended to be surprised. Little did I know that I would actually be surprised. Next to the man I loved so dearly, was the girl I hated the most.
Clutching onto the arm of Jungmin, was Lori. I narrowed my eyes and glared at her. I then looked at Jungmin as he looked at me at the same time. I could tell by the look in his eyes, that he was begging me to save him. Standing up, I put on a happy tone and ignored Lori while walking up to him.
"Oh, hey there Minnie..!" I snuck in and unlatched her hands from his arm as I gave him a hug. I was on the verge of squealing but, I held it in, to make this seem like a normal occurence.
"Hey!!! What's your problem huh?! Mallie oppa was going to take me on a date!!! Not you!!"
I had to raise an eyebrow at that, as I stepped back from thr hug reluctantly. Mallie? What the fuck is that? Are you freaking kidding me?!!
"W-well.. sorry. Date cancelled." I said, as I stuck my tongue out at Lori.
To my astonishment, she grabbed his hand to pull him away from me. I glared at her as she opened her mouth to say something.
"Who are you to say anything you stupid rapper?! You're not even any good!! You're crap! Just like the rest of your members!!!" she shrieked at me in her annoying, high-pitched voice.
My jaw dropped. She did not just say that about us. My temper flared and I just acted on instinct. I grabbed Jungmin's hand and pulled him away from her as I tightened my hand into a fist. It took the self-control I had to not knock her in the face. Instead, I grabbed her by the shoulders and dragged her to the door. Glaring straight into her heavily-made-up eyes, I tossed her out.
"Talking crap about me is one thing.. But when you bring my members down, than its on!!!" Slamming the door in her face, I breathed heavily and stomped back into the middle of the living room, my entire happy mood had evaporated once I saw her. Completely passing by Jungmin, I plopped onto the floor and breathed in and out. In and out. I crossed my arms and closed my eyes, bowing my head to let my bangs fall into my face, I tried to channel my anger out with my breathing.
"..Yah.."
I ignored the comment and focused on my breathing. I could hear gentle footsteps, and then a warm body was pressed up against mine.
"Sunbae-nim.. You're really brave for doing that.. Kamsa.. And she had no right to talk about you or the Momo sunbae-nims like that.." Jungmin's fingers came up and pushed my bangs behind my ear. "So don't be mad anymore..? I don't like seeing you mad.."
His arm wrapped around my body, and pulled me close to him. He laid down as I cuddled into his side, ignoring my annoyed and aching heart. I closed my eyes as he started to sing a lullaby, and, entranced by his voice, I slowly drifted off into sleep, Jungmin's voice echoing in my mind.
