Note that sentences in italics indicate what you are thinking :). Enjoy the chapter :D-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You blushed when you noticed you were holding onto his hand for too long, so you both released your intertwining hands awkwardly. He smiled shyly at you but you both stopped looking at each other when a booming voice shook the room, making you cringe in annoyance.“Myungsoo! How many times have you got into trouble?!?” Infinite’s manager sighed as he threw his hands up in defeat.L just sat quietly on the sofa blanking pressing buttons on his phone in the most hateful manner, which made you grind your teeth in anger.“I’m out of here since you don’t need me…” you sighed as you walked towards the door.“You can’t go,” a hand gently grasped onto yours, your eyes immediately softened while your stomach was doing flip flops when you stared into his lustful eyes.“Stay…” Dongwoo whispered soothingly sending shivers down your spine.“Tch! Get a room!” stupid L interfered your romantic, what was going to be a drama-like moment when he rudely interrupted.Dongwoo scratched the back of his neck in embarrassment as your face grew a crimson pink. “I need you…” he said but quickly covered his mouth. “I mean Infinite needs you, to cover up for Myungsoo,” he eyed L in the corner of his eye.“Let’s think of how we are going to solve this problem!” The manager sighed in relief when he noticed you nodding in agreement.“I know! You can be his long lost sister or something!” Woohyun exclaimed as he smiled proudly at his suggestion.“As if anyone would believe that… Look at her face and mine, too much of a difference. She is the total opposite of attractive.” L scoffed, looking at Woohyun disapprovingly.You snickered at him in disbelief, “Whatever we make up can’t cover up for all the swearing he did to me!” you voiced your honest opinion.“How about we make big headline news! Myungsoo and you caught dating!” the tallest member of Infinite suggested as he flashed a toothy grin.“NO!” You and L protested in unison.“You were his cousin, and somehow you got mad at him?” Infinite manager asked.“Hey! Why am I the bad person?” you whined disappointedly.“Whatever, let’s just go with that before my image goes down the drain.” L said. You shook your head disapprovingly; he doesn’t even care about anyone, just him, selfish jerk. “Okay, it’s settled then. I will be holding a press conference and releasing an official statement for you guys.” Their manager replied. “Tell me your name by the way,” Infinite’s manager diverted his gaze towards you as he held up a clipboard and a pen in his hand.“My name is ----,” you reluctantly replied, still unsure if this was a good idea or not. I guess if I agree to this I won’t have angry fan girls hunting me down if they thought I was L’s cousin. Infinite’s manager nodded as he scribbled some words on the piece of paper.Suddenly the door flung open making everyone in the room jump in surprise. A lanky man with large spectacle rested securely on the bridge of his nose stood at the entrance, grabbing hold of the doorframe for support as he caught his breath. You gasped, the man looked very familiar, and you vaguely remembered him begging on his knees at your dad’s office, pleading him not to be fired. The terrifying act that you witnessed made you despise your father even more.“Aren’t you,” you cut of his words as you clamped your hand over his mouth as you smiled meekly at the people around you, wearing an expression of shock but soon vanished.“Shh… don’t say anything,” you whispered under your breath as you released your hand when you felt him nod. You gave people around you a reassuring nod to ensure them that everything was okay.“What’s the rush Mr Park?” A guy with extremely small eyes like a thin like of thread asked.“Urgent! Sunggyu, check this out!” the man shoved the ipad into Sunggyu’s hands.“Dongwoo…” Sunggyu said his voice shaky as he passed the ipad into Dongwoo’s hands.All the infinite members gathered around Dongwoo curiously, wondering what was going on that made their band leader look sick and look like he was going to pass out anytime soon. You watched intently as the Infinite members eyes grew in shock and surprise. You couldn’t help but to peek over your shoulder to find out why their happy expression was wiped out with expressions of either terror or amusement.“What is it?” you muttered under your breath, but only one person heard your whisper. The one and only, L who had hearing better than a friggen bat!He whipped his head back, doing a hair flick in the process as you cringed in disgust, he made his way towards you as he stuck his lean, index finger and poked you painfully on the arm making you wince in pain.“Hey! What was that for?” you whined, rubbing on the small red mark L left on your arm.“You’re a saesang fan aren’t you? You think you’re a fan who is supporting us but you use the most ridiculous ways to become closer to us?” he said sternly raising his voice.You folded your arms against your chest and scoffed in utter disbelief, “Tch! As if! Everything I said about you was my honest opinion! You, what is your name again! L! Even your name is a failure!” you screamed. “You F-A-I-L,” you enunciated every word, you watched as L’s face turned red with hatred. Ha, finally my payback. “Then what can you say about this?” he raised his eyebrow. Finally everyone in the room was paying attention to you and L’s argument after they snapped out of their trances and proceeded to exchange looks with one another worriedly. You watched as L walked over to Dongwoo snatching the ipad out of his grip as he shoved the device in your face.“What do you say about this? ----.” He smirked. “Don’t tell me it’s you? ….Slut.” He murmured the last part almost inaudibly as his voice trailed off. You were planning to shoot him a death stare or punch him in the face but you realised the tense atmosphere so you balled your fists instead.You skimmed through the article quickly and were going to throw your hand up and wave them in denial; no way did you have a heated session with Dongwoo. That girl looks a bit like me, but that never happened between me and him. You snatched the Ipad out of L hands, rubbing your eyes with your unoccupied hand to make sure everything was real. “Someone please pinch me and tell me I’m dreaming,” you pleaded.“My pleasure,” L chuckled evilly.You shivered, “Someone else pinch me, not him please,” but before you could defend yourself and bust out your taekwondo moves you were attacked by L as he pinched you with all his might until he heard you yelp in pain.“L! Stop hurting her!” Dongwoo sighed lifelessly a bit annoyed. L nodded calmly and stopped. Who knew that boy listened to instructions? You rubbed your left arm in pain as you noticed a red mark appearing.“Are you okay?” Dongwoo asked softly, holding up your arm to examine the imprints of L’s fingers that were left. “Guys me and ---- weren’t kissing, she saved my life… with CPR,” he explained. “I don’t know who took the picture though…” he continued.“You’re lucky you got to kiss such a cute girl,” Woohyun winked at you making you cover you face with your hands in embarrassment.“Cute my ass!” L added his unnecessary comment.“Hyung! Why are you being so mean to noona?” You were taken aback when the thin boy that had a pretty feminine face spoke. How does he know I’m his noona anyway, do I look old or something? ‘Guy, this is really serious. Don’t take this situation lightly.” Infinite’s manager warned, as the other nodded in agreement.“I nearly died if it wasn’t for ----. The concert was hard core and my lungs are weak… The story of an asthmatic” Dongwoo sighed, somehow you felt better with is words.“Hey! You’re turning into grandpa gyu!” Hoya joked as he chuckled a few times but stopped abruptly when he was shot with death glares. He rested his chin on his hand as he stared blankly at the ground, the tense atmosphere arising again.You felt completely awful on the inside, your stomach churning at the thought of the article attached with the scandalous photograph. From the angle it was shot it really looked like you and Dongwoo were up to no good and were in the middle of a heated session. You stared blankly at the ground and felt a hand squeeze your own reassuringly, stroking your hand with his thumb. A pang of guilt hit you when glanced up to find Dongwoo; the usual joyful expression wiped of his face and was replaced with a slight frown, worry weighing down his brow.Whenever you would look into his eyes he would smile weakly at you to assure that he was okay but you could see through him and see despair, hurt and regret flickering in the depths of his sad eyes.L joined the member on the couch while Dongwoo remained beside you for support. Infinite all sat with lifeless or confused expressions on the black couch, some buried their faces in their hands while their managers paced back and forth in the room, massaging their temples in distress.“I’m sorry,” you whispered.“Better be.” L retorted although you were talking to Dongwoo.“Don’t worry, we will figure this out. Since L has insulted you, let’s say it’ll be fair and square if you help us overcome this. This will mean helping Dongwoo and Infinite as a whole.” Infinite’s manager suggested, his eyes filled with desperation eager to hear your agreement. “If you two say nothing happened, then we will tell them. Though it may be difficult. Will you help us?”“Okay… “You agreed biting your bottom lip. Infinite manager’s ear twitched when you agreed and some Infinite members straightened themselves, a glimpse of hope filled their eyes.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Hey guys hope you enjoy this chapter!
