11. Being with Him, is It (1/2)

When Minho realized that he was shirtless, he immediately covered up his body with the blanket. He gave a fierce look to Yuri like he would do anything to her for what she had done to him. However, Yuri didn’t seem afraid at all but still she looked anxious and it’s just because of the mission. Nickhun and Yoona must lead them very well. Seeing Minho was angry at her, she immediately said, “Yah! If you want to scold me or anything, just keep it later! We have more important thing to do right now!”

“What did you mean by important things?!” Minho asked in annoyance.

“Yah! Don’t tell me that…!” Yuri also burst into angry as she felt like Minho was just pretending that he didn’t know anything. “Don’t play during this time!”

“What do you mean playing?! I really don’t know!” Minho said angrily while looking straight into her eyes.

“The show! The show has started! We should have got our… NO! We should have STARTED our mission right now!” Yuri stomped her legs in frustration.

“Really?!” Minho looked shocked.

“Can you see my face?!” Yuri pointed to her face. “Did I look like I’m playing?!”

“Ok, ok!” Minho replied angrily. However, even they had to rush to the show’s location now, Minho didn’t move at all.

Yuri felt much angrier when she saw how relaxed Minho was. “Yah! What are you waiting more?! Go change you cloth…” She paused for a while as she knew he was shirtless. “Or, just wear something!”

“Then, you want me to change in front of you?!” Minho got up and approached Yuri to let Yuri saw clearly his upper body that was exposed. “Huh?! In front of you?! Huh?!”

Yuri immediately covered her eyes with her hands. “I got it, I got it!” she repeated as Minho kept approaching her. “Don’t come near me!” she added angrily before getting out from Minho’s room.

She waited for Minho outside his room, at the living room of 2SG’s villa. She started to wander around after for a while. “If he does lie to me, he is dead!” Yuri said angrily.

Not too long after, Minho came out from his room with another trouser was on and he was still putting on his shirt. “What is our mission?!”

They both walked out from the 2SG’s villa hurriedly while talking to each other. “I don’t know either. But, from what I heard Nickhun and Yoona said, we would have a drink for breakfast if we lose!” Minho looked at Yuri with shocked expression on his face. “That’s why I said please wake up earlier. See, what is happening now! It’s your fault if we lose!”

“I know, I know!” Minho immediately interrupted before Yuri could nag him longer. “Hurry up!” he raised his voice to Yuri asking her to run faster to the location of mission card.

After a few minutes later, they arrived there and the staff gave them the mission card. They immediately opened and read the mission card.

“Finally, Minho is here! I think it’s really hard for MinYul couple to catch KhunA couple. They have finished half of the mission.”

As soon as they finished reading the mission, Minho immediately grabbed Yuri’s hand and ran quickly. “Argh!” Yuri almost fell because of sudden pull from Minho. “Yah! Don’t need to hold my hand! I can run by myself!”

Minho immediately let go of Yuri’s hand. “Then, if we lose, you take the responsibility!”

“What?!” Yuri asked in disbelief. “Why me?! You are the one who are late! Really…”

“Yah! Stop nagging! We have to catch up them!” Minho acceleration his speed and because of that, Yuri had been left quite far behind.

“Minho’s speed is incredibly fast! He is much fast than Nickhun! Yuri’s speed equally with Yoona’s…”

“However, MinYul couple doesn’t have high chance to win because both of Yuri and Minho have to pass Nickhun and Yoona.”

“Catch up them?!” Yuri made a fake laugh. “Do you think we can?! They have passed the half of the mission!”

“So, that’s why we have to run fast!” Minho grabbed Yuri’s hand once again and forced her to run fast at the same speed with him which made Yuri felt like she was flying in the air.

“Let me go! Let me go!” Yuri continuously hit Minho’s hand but she got ignored by him. “Can’t we slow down?! I’m a girl, I can’t run fast like you! Arghhh!” Minho just acted like Yuri didn’t react to what he was doing. He just wanted to win.

“They like to argue with each other. I wonder what have happened between them before.” MC laughed.

“Yes, there must be something. I think they look much cuter like this!”

“Completely different from them, Yoona and Nickhun are collaborating with each other very well. They almost complete their mission.”

“Are you okay?” Nickhun looked at Yoona. She looked a bit tired after having some running for about 25 minutes.

“Yes…” Yoona gave a forced smile. Honestly, she felt much tired but she must bear with it. Nickhun wanted to win this badly and she also wanted it.

“Don’t force yourself too much. Please tell me if you can’t bear with it, okay?” Nickhun patted Yoona’s shoulder while giving her a sweet smile. Yoona nodded with a weak smile on her face. They continued running to the finish line. “Oh! We almost reach at the finish line!” Nickhun exclaimed while pointing at the finish line. “Let’s go!” he reached his hand to Yoona.

Yoona smiled and took his hand. They ran together to the finish line with interlocked hands. “Yeah!” They made hi-five after winning the mission.

“KhunA couple has won the mission! Now, I’m really excited at how our MinYul couple will do their punishment. I bet they will argue more, right?”

However, Yoona still looked super tired. Nickhun observed on her condition. “Come here!” he held both of Yoona’s shoulder and dragged her to a bench. He made her to take a seat on it. Yoona looked at him with questioned face. She wondered what he was doing.”Stay here! Take a rest. I’ll come back soon!”

Nickhun left Yoona alone there and ran to somewhere. The cameramen were following Nickhun.

“Where is Nickhun going?!” the MC asked in full of excited.

Nickhun went to the nearest shop. He bought four bottles of water. He paid for them and ran back to where Yoona was.

“Wow! Nickhun is so sweet! I’m so jealous of Yoona. She must be very lucky!” the MC said in jealousy.

“Hey, don’t need to be jealous! You won’t get that sweet treat from Nickhun!” another MC teased.

“Why?” the MC pouted her lips.

Yoona was waiting for Nickhun to come back. She wasn’t sure how to feel right now. She was in the mixed feelings. Sometimes, she would take a glance at the way of the finish line to see if Minho and Yuri had arrived or not. She chuckled when imagining how much Minho and Yuri would argue with each other before reaching at the finish line.

She heard the footsteps that were coming towards her. She looked at the direction of the footsteps and saw Nickhun was running towards her. Nickhun gave her a sweet smile when he saw she was looking at him and he took a seat beside her. “Here!” he gave Yoona a bottle of water.

“Thanks!” Yoona took it from him. She gulped down the water. Then, she looked at Nickhun with a gentle look. She knew that he bought a drink for all of them but still he cared for her too. She couldn’t help but being happy. Honestly, she didn’t too like the way he treated her. He was too kind and that just caused her to fall in love with him deeper. She hated how she felt now but what could she do? Her feelings were out of her control.

“Why?” Nickhun realized that Yoona was looking at him. “Do you want more drink? Take mine.” He offered Yoona his drinks.

“Nothing! I… It’s okay.” Yoona blurted out. She hove a deep sigh.

“Ah~ the weather is nice!” Nickhun exclaimed happily.

“Y… yes...” Yoona responded awkwardly. And then, Minho and Yuri reached at the finish line. “They arrived!” Yoona informed to Nickhun.

Minho and Yuri stopped running to catch their breath. Yuri looked at Nickhun and Yoona in disbelief. “Then, we are lost?” she asked. Yoona and Nickhun just replied Yuri’s question with a wide smile as a reply. “Yah! This is your fault!” Yuri hit Minho’s arm.

“What are you talking about?! You are the one who ran so slowly! Like a turtle! Ceh!” Minho rolled his eyes.

“What?! A turtle?!” Yuri asked in disbelief. “How dare you call me that?!” Yuri hit Minho’s head continuously.

“YAH!” Minho shouted at Yuri while protecting himself from being hit by Yuri with his hand.

“Look! They are arguing again!” MC laughed of argument between Minho and Yuri. “Anyways, they create a fun atmosphere in this show.”

Yoona just smiled looking at Yuri and Minho. She felt much relieve actually because Yuri looked like having fun, not depression with Minho. She was sure Yuri would be okay with him.

Nickhun stopped their argument. “Hey, just stop it! Come here!” he asked Minho and Yuri to take a seat at him and Yoona were.

“Aigoo, so tired!” Yuri leaned against Yoona.

“Here!” Yoona gave Yuri a drink with a smile on her face. Yuri took it and replied her with a wide smile. Nickhun threw the bottle of water towards Minho and Minho caught before gulping down the water.

“We stop the recording here for a while.” The staff informed. “Let’s move on to the next location, dining room.”

Minho, Yuri, Nickhun and Yoona got up and headed to the dining room. Nickhun was walking at the back. Seeing Minho and Yoona were focusing on their way to the dining room, Nickhun smiled widely.

He looked at Yuri and grabbed her wrist. He pulled her towards himself by her hand. Yuri was just about to shout but her mouth was covered by Nickhun’s hand. Nickhun gave Yuri ‘it’s me!’ look. He put his hand down. Yuri smiled shyly and she was speechless because of Nickhun’s unexpected action.

Nickhun checked on what Minho and Yoona were doing. Since they both didn’t realize it, he paid his attention back to Yuri. “Why?” Yuri asked bashfully.

“Are you okay with him before? Did he do something bad to you?” Nickhun asked while looking at Yuri worriedly.

“No, don’t worry. I’m okay.” Yuri replied.

“I really want to take care of you.”

“Why?” Yuri asked while biting her lips to hide her smile. “Why are you so worried about me?”

“Em… why?” He paused for a while. “It’s really embarrassing to say it. Do I have to say out loud?” he raised his eyebrows.

“Of course!” Yuri emphasized. “Otherwise, how can I know what are you thinking about me?” Nickhun bowed his head while heaving a deep sigh. He felt so embarrassed to say what he should say to Yuri. “Why? It’s burdensome for you to say it?” she asked with a frown on her face. “Then, don’t say it.” She added seriously and walked away.

Nickhun immediately grabbed Yuri’s hand to stop her. “Ok, ok!” he approached and faced her. He looked around to see if there was someone around them. After making sure, he looked at Yuri back. Yuri stared at his face while biting her lips.

Out of a sudden, instead of explaining to her, Nickhun gave a light peck on Yuri’s cheek. Yuri looked very shocked. As he felt too embarrassed, Nickhun immediately walked away. Yuri touched her cheek while staring at Nickhun who was walking away. She still looked in disbelief.

Nickhun stopped walking and turned his head to Yuri back. Yuri looked at him with questioned face. He smiled and gave her a wink before entering the dining room. Yuri who was staying alone there, giggled like a crazy person.

Nickhun bumped into Minho on the way to the dining room. “Where is Yuri?” Minho asked Nickhun.

Nickhun shrugged. “I don’t know. Why? She is not there?”

“Never mind!” Minho replied and then, he just walked away to look for Yuri by himself. Minho ran slowly while looking for Yuri. “Aish! This girl is really…” he looked around and spotted Yuri who was giggling like an idiot. “Ceh!” Minho rolled his eyes. “Have she gone crazy?” he approached her quietly.

Meanwhile, Yuri still giggled and she didn’t realize Minho was behind her since she felt too happy. Minho knocked Yuri’s head until her head jerked forward. “Ouch!” Yuri exclaimed while rubbing her head. She looked behind, at Minho. “What the heck?!” she asked angrily while glaring at him.

“What are you doing? Have you gone crazy?” Minho asked sarcastically while folding his arms.

“Just mind your own business!” Yuri threw a punch towards Minho’s stomach. She left him alone there and walked into the dining room.

“YAH!” Minho shouted at her while holding his stomach. Yuri just ignored him. “Aish!” he glared at her who was walking away. “But, she is really strong…”
