chapter twenty-eight.

Before this whole situation happened and even before Ni-ki met Saeyoung, he already had a great bond with Takara. They worked together for two years and experienced so much together as teammates and friends. Whether people think of it as a bond of love or friendship, it was no lie that he and Takara has a more stronger connection compared to what he currently has with Saeyoung.

"Point out the characteristics that you like about Takara and why you like her."

A small smile appeared from Ni-ki's lips, yet his hands started to sweat. It was his first time talking about a girl in front of his hyungs and he felt shy about it. He was nervous, if he wanted too, Ni-ki would just ignore the question and continue on to the next one, but this was his only choice. To give a clear answer on who he should choose among the girls, it was best to answer every question they give him. Even if it means, he has to deal with his hyungs teasing for a week or so.

"Takara? Well...I like that she's a very hardworking, dedicated, trust worthy and warm person. Whenever she has a goal, I couldn't help but admire her determination and upbeat personality. She knows what she wants and how she becomes so fearless to venture anything. Takara also has a good heart, her smile is warm and she is also prepared to work at the hardest she can to help and assist others, even if it means she has to put herself at the bottom of the least things she has to prioritise. She's really an amazing girl, and I want to stand by her side for as long as I can. "

Ni-ki could already feel the teasing faces of his hyungs, staring at him, waiting for their time to finally tease him. He badly wanted to save himself from the embarrassment right after this.

Jay hummed in response. "And how about Saeyoung? What do you like about her?"

Ni-ki gave out a small chuckle.  "That girl. She's easy but at the same time quite difficult to read. She's crazy but also prideful. Saeyoung is fierce, bold and a risk-taker. Her valiant and righteous personality made me interested to the point that I wanted to know more about her. But after sometime, I discovered that under that valiant and courageous personality, was a shy and playful girl. The longer I spend time with her, the more I attracted I am."

His hyungs couldn't help but feel proud of the youngest's responses. He answered maturely and he seemed to be happy as well. But the bad thing is, it made it a lot more harder than it is to help Ni-ki decide. The connection and attraction he has with Takara and Saeyoung, was deeper than they expected. It felt so unbelievable, Ni-ki was still young and immature.

Jay took a deep breathe. This one last question could be able to determine and help Ni-ki with his decision. Hopefully, a decision he won't regret.   "From the two of them, who do you think is willing to stay by you're side for a long time? In you're opinion, which one of them can make you happy? Someone who's wiling to do anything for you, as much as you're wiling to do anything for her?"

"Takara? Or Saeyoung?"

Girl's Generation's 'Gee' played through the laptop. Two girls sat down on the bed, watching the third movie of 'To All the Boy's I've Loved Before' on Netflix. From all the drama that occurred over the past few days, taking a small break and watching a refreshing movie with her cousin is definitely needed.

"Saeyoung, are you really sure that nothing is going on with you and Soul?"

Saeyoung groaned, pausing the movie. Ever since her cousin, Hwang Yemin moved in with her and her grandmother for awhile, questions about Soul went on non-stop─and it hasn't even been a day. "For the 22nd time Yemin, there's nothing going on."

Yemin rolled her eyes and snatched Saeyoung's phone. She opened her Instagram and frowned at the sight of her account set on private.  "Why the fuck is this on private? The last time I saw this, you're account can be visited freely." she stated scrolling through Saeyoung's feed.  "And wow, you barely follow anyone. You follow only eighteen people?"  Yemin pointed at the screen.
