I know last chapter left on cliffhanger, so lets dive back it soon.

'Let's go get the performance done first. I will explain everything.' Minho convinces putting on his stage outfit.

'I will see you later.' Meera excuses herself quickly trying to avoid any further embarrassment.

'Meera where were you?' Yuta asked as Meera went and sat next to her teammates.

'I was backstage.' Meera replies grabbing a water bottle.

'No you weren't' Haechan shakes his head.

'I was Haechan, now stop interrogating me.' Meera complains.

'Did you meet Hyu Jin?' Ten asks playfully.

'No, wait he did ask me to meet him after this.' Meera remembers and gets up to go look for him.

'SHINee is performing next. Don't you want to see Minho sunbaenim?' Kun teases remembering Meera watching his live.

'What about Minho sunbaenim?' Johnny asks curious.

'She likes him but isn't admitting. Its okay Meera younger generations can like older Idols too nothing wrong with it. Haechan does too.' Kun explains.

'Minho sunbaenim is your bias? You are a Shawol.' Haechan screams in excitement.

'Just shut up already. This isn't out dorm, we are at an event.' Ten says holding Haechan's mouth shut.

'Kun I thought at least you would not do this to me. I will watch it backstage. Bye for now.' Meera says walking away to go find Hyu Jin.

'See if she was backstage, she would have met Hyu Jin but she is searching for him now.' Jungwoo comments and everyone turns their heads to him to acknowledge the analysis.

'Who is she?' Key asks looking at Poorva.

'I am her best friend.' Poorva replies crossing her arms as she sits down beside Meera.

'You had two girls in your house?' Taemin asked surprised.

'She just came for the event. To meet Baekhyun shi.' Meera informs.

'So you did change the lucky fan ticket number didn't you?' Onew interrogated.

Minho simply nods.

'Since when are you living like this?' Onew asks 

'Few days/ 1 month' Minho and Meera reply at the same time.

'Is it of any more use to keep it a secret?' Meera fumes at Minho for lying.

'30 days is few days only.' Minho shouts back.

'Look at his guts to hide it even now.' Key nags throwing a cushion towards him.

'She told me just a week ago.' Poorva adds in.

'I kept on telling him, but he did not listen.' Meera informs the rest.

'Ya ya ya whose side are you on? You are a chameleon.' Minho scoffs.

'I admit he saved and took care of me all the while. Because I was a fool and got scammed of my rent deposit. Just please don't be hard on him, he thought you guys would tease him and it would be uncomfortable and stuff if it spreads as a rumor.' Meera explains as the boys listen to her.

'We are not going to eat him. Don't worry.' Onew chuckles looking at her plea.

'See its this easy.' Meera said looking at Minho who gave a fake smile.

'Its nothing serious. Does anyone want ice cream?' Poorva butts in to make the situation lighter.

'You guys should talk. We will go get some snacks.' Meera gets up to join Poorva.

'Don't you trust us?' Onew asked Minho with a serious face.

'No Hyung, hear me out. I like her and if I told you guys that you will make sure I confess.' Minho blurts out as he felt bad for not telling them the truth.

'Woah, I wasn't expecting a lover boy this fast. But it was bound to happen.' Key smirks with his dimples sticking on his cheeks.

'She seems a sweet girl.' Onew remarks smiling at Minho.

'But Hyu Jin likes her too.' Taemin informs.

'See, I knew it. That girl won't listen to me. I predicted it long back.' Minho states.

'Oh Romeo chill. It just depends on whom she likes now.' Key comments.

'She told me he is just a friend.' Minho blushed informing.

'Then what's the problem?' Onew clapped excited for him.

'She thinks age gap relations don't work out well.' Minho sighs telling them.

'That's true. She must have been in primary when you debuted.' Key says further roasting him.

'Shut up. Now that I told you guys, I feel like I have someone to lean on.' Minho hugs Onew.

'No no we are still upset about you hiding it from us. Move we aren't helping.' Onew shrugs him off.

'I am getting goosebumps how are you managing to hide this so well from her.' Taemin said touching his shoulders.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

'We shouldn't be sleeping today. I am leaving tomorrow remember.' Poorva says as they get back home.

'No no no, today was one unpredictable day. Lets not take any further risks.' Meera replies lying down on the couch.

'Minho are you tired? Its just 9pm.' Poorva pouts.

'What's it that you want to do?' Minho asks taking off his tuxedo.

'Lets go clubbing. Its the perfect time.' Poorva suggests.

'Heh no. Just lets go sleep.' Meera brushes off the idea moving to her bedroom.

'Don't be a spoilsport Meera. Its her last day here.' Minho convinces and after a while she approves it.

They get to Itaewon and visit a private club where most of the people were foreigners or people did not care much about the other person's identity. Getting a table they order some drinks and dance for some time while waiting for the drinks to be served. 'I ll go use the restroom.' Meera informs as she gets up. Minho and Poorva chit chat for a while having a couple of drinks. 'Will you go check on her?' Poorva asks worried it has been minutes since Meera went out. 

'Hey can I buy you a drink?' a man asks grabbing Meera's hand. 'Just leave-' Meera is interrupted as someone puts an arm around her waist. 'She is with me.' Minho informs starring at the guy. 'Okay.' the man lets her hand go. 

'Thanks.' Meera says as they get down a few steps. 

Suddenly Minho pins her to the wall and intently stares at her eyes. He moves one of his hand on her waist and the other towards her hair.   

'You look so gorgeous baby.' Minho says caressing her cheek lightly.

'Minho shi, what are you doing?' Meera asks as shivers ran through her body.

'Shhh! Can't you just call me Oppa?' Minho silences her placing a finger on her lips.

'Oppa?' Meera chokes surprised at how he mentioned it.

'Yes, I love it when you call me that.' Minho says inching forward closing the gap between them and Meera closes her eyes tight as she felt his body right on hers knowing what to expect as he tilts his head. 

'Is she gone?' Minho whispers in her ears.

'What?? Who?' Meera asks surprised opening her eyes wide.

'The chick in green dress. She is bugging me for my number. I could not get her off me.' Minho explains.

'Yeah.' Meera replies after scanning the place nearby.

Minho lifts his head from her neck to cross check when Meera pushes him away as she walks back to Poorva.

'What was that for?' Minho asks surprised by the sudden push.

'Don't use me as a bait. I hate that.' Meera replies with a stern expression as she goes and sits next to Poorva.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

'Just stop it you both.' Meera tries snatching their beer bottles.

'Nooo, lets see who wins today. I am not losing.' Minho places the bottle with a thud.

'Pooh, you are going to puke it babe, listen to me.' Meera tries convincing her bestie.

'Noooo, I will show him my capabilities now.' Poorva snatched back her bottle.

'If you lose, you need to call your Rohan oppa okay?' Minho laughs half drunk.

'Oh my god, stop it.' Meera hits him on his arm.

'Yes, I will confess it today.' Poorva fiddles in her purse to find the phone.

'Why are you doing this.' Meera stops her from getting her phone.

'Minho hold her, she is making it difficult.' Poorva tries pushing Meera away but she stumbles losing control.

'Aaahaaa Meera come here.' Minho says opening his arms.

'What the hell. You are super drunk, stop it.' Meera fumes at him.

'Oppaaa, this is me.' Poorva starts off as the phone gets answered.

'Pooh give it here.' Meera forces her hands on the phone but Poorva is resistant.

Minho grabs Meera to make her stop messing with Poorva, so that she could continue the call.

'Poorva are you drunk?' Rohan asks concerned from the other side.

'Yes I am and listen to me now. I love you, I love love you since the very first time I laid eyes on you. Are you so dumb to not understand it?' Poorva yells.

'Oh my god.' Meera sighs covering her mouth in surprise.

'Yes go on go on..' Minho cheered still holding Meera tightly from moving. 

'Its okay if you don't love me but at least don't behave like you don't know. It hurts so much.' Poorva starts crying.

'Give it here.' Minho gestures asking for the phone holding his grip on Meera with his other hand.

'Just tell her directly if you don't love her. Don't give stupid reasons like we have huge age gap, we might not get along. Be a man Ro.' Minho preached.

'Minho shi' Meera looked astonished at how he spoke to her brother.

'Here talk to your sister. Dear Poorva is crying because of you. I'll go console her.' Minho says puts the phone in Meera's hand.

'Meera? What's happening?' Rohan asks already half angry.

'Rohan, lets talk about this tomorrow. Bye.' Meera cuts the call not knowing what to explain him.

'Its okay cry as much as you want. True love always hurts.' Minho says lending Poorva a shoulder to cry on.

Meera quickly grabs their phones and tucks them in her bag. She settles the bill and calls for a designated driver. The bouncer helps her move a passed out Minho to the car as she handled Poorva. After setting the location she pushes Minho to a side as she settles in between the two drunk people.  

Poorva sleeps on Meera's lap as Minho dozes off on her shoulder. 'I am going to kill these two tomorrow.' Meera clenches her fist trying to control her anger.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

Meera tucks in Poorva first and she goes to move Minho from the couch to his bedroom. She quickly changes into her night clothes as Poorva wakes up in between banging the bathroom door. 'I want to kill you so badly.' Meera complains patting Poorva's back as she puked her guts out. 

'Its so exhausting.' Poorva completely vomits out her drinks and goes to sleep as Meera helps her with a hangover tablet.

'Just look at you.' Meera fumes looking at Minho sleeping peacefully in his bedroom. She manages to take off his jacket and socks as she tries tucking him in with a blanket. He opens his eyes slightly to check what's going around him. 'Great! Do you know what mess you both created out there.' Meera says glaring at him with laser eyes. 

'Aww cutie is angry, come here.' Minho pulls her in his blanket. 

'Excuse me?' Meera asks confused. 

'Let Minho cuddle you, Minho love cuddling.' Minho saying putting an arm and leg on top of her. 'Move...move, you are heavy.' Meera says as he lay his weight on her. 

'Oops sorry. Come here then.' Minho smiles sheepishly as he moves her to rest on his chest while interlocking his hands so that she doesn't escape.  

'Minho shi stop doing that.' Meera requests as he continuously pats her hair. 

'I am not leaving you today. For now you are mine.' Minho pecks her hair.

'Am I being selfish right now?. I can get out but I don't want to. I am so happy in this moment. But isn't it like I am taking advantage of his drunk state.' Meera battles her thoughts as Minho sleeps holding her close.
