My Crush Is a Friend (1/1)

Few days after Evo left, almost everything went back to normal. Also, the ladies relationship with our idol group grew deeper and seems like they were really comfortable with them now. But there was man who thought 'her' more than as a friend.

At the boys' dorm, "Waah! What should I do?" Eli told himself, enough to be heard by others. "Hey, what's happening to you?" Alexander asked Eli. He sat down beside him. "Hyung, what if you like a girl, and this girl is your friend. Are you going to confess it?" Eli looked at him with a serious face. He was been looking for an answer with that question and he was hoping Alexander will able to answer it. "Hmm... it depends on the situation." Alexander answered. "What do you mean?" "If she doesn't have a boyfriend or maybe she doesn't like someone, then I'll confess. But if she does have, I won't, but wait –" Alexander looked at Eli mischievously. "Do you like someone?" Eli avoided Alexander's eyes and didn't reply. "Hey guys! Eli likes someone!" Alexander shouted, making Eli be embarrassed. "What? What? What? Eli is in love?" Soohyun confirmed. "Eh? Eli-hyung is in love?" the maknae asked. And then others went where Alexander and Eli was. "Who's the lucky girl?" Kibum asked. "I bet it’s an idol group member." Kiseop said. "Is it one of the Rainbow? Or Secret? Or Miss A?" Kevin asked. "Maybe that scary HAM member." Soohyun stated. "Anio, it’s not a celebrity, it’s a 'friend' of his." Alexander jokingly told them. "Hyung!" then Eli hit Alexander's back. "Ouch!" Alexander told Eli, but he was not angry. "Just tell us who is it." Kibum told Eli. "She is..." Eli started. "She is…?" they repeated. "Waah! It’s embarrassing!" Eli covered his face due to embarrassment. "What the, just say what the name is!" they complained to him. They threw some pillows to him as a sign of their protest. "Fine, fine, I'm going to say it." they stopped throwing pillows, looked at Eli's red face and listened to him. "She is..." Eli started again. "She is…?" they repeated again. "A.... lice...." Eli told them. "Aaah~ Alice." they reacted. "What?! Alice?! Alice Veolia?!" A follow up reaction from them. "You like my cousin?!" Alexander asked. Eli nodded. "Does she know it? Does she know it?" Kevin asked. "Anio." "What?! You haven't told her yet?!" they reacted. "I can't because I don't have free time." Eli defended himself. "Wait, Alexander, does Alice has a boyfriend?" Kibum asked Alexander. "I don't know if she has a boyfriend, she doesn't say anything about that." "What if we try to ask Claire about it?" Kiseop suggested. "That girl?" Kiseop nodded. "Then you call her." "Eh?" "You suggest it so you do it." Alexander told him. "Fine, fine, fine, I’m going to call her." Kiseop took out his phone and called Claire. He loudspeaker it so everyone can hear Claire’s voice. A few seconds, Claire picked up the phone.  "What is it Kiseop?" Claire asked. "Oh, they're close already." other murmured except for Kibum, Kevin and Eli who were interested on the phone call. "Where are you?" Kiseop asked. "I’m outside, buying Makimono. Why?" "Can you come over here?" "Where are you?" "I'm here at the dorm." "Others are there too?" "Yeah" all of them answered. Claire giggled. "Yaah, Kiseop, you loudspeaker your phone didn't you, you bad guy." Kiseop giggled and replied a "yes" to Claire. "Oh, they are really close." Soohyun told them. "Hey Soohyun-oppa, I heard you." Claire told him that made everyone laughed. "So, can you go here?" Kiseop asked again. "Sure, no problem" "noona~, I want Makimono too." Dongho told Claire with a cute voice. "Okay~" "me too~" Soohyun imitated how Dongho spoke. "Shut up oppa." Claire replied that made everyone laughed again. "I'm going to hang up now." Claire told them then she hang up. xXxXx

After a few minutes, Claire finally arrived at the dorm. They let her sat down at the sofa beside Eli and looked at her with a curios yet nervous faces. "What the, why are you looking at me like that?" Claire laughed a little because of the atmosphere between all of them. "Does ... Alice has a ... boyfriend?" Alexander nervously asked. "Eh? Alice?" the boys nodded. "Hmm ..." Claire crossed her legs, put her elbow at her upper leg and lean her chin on her right open hand  "Hmm ...?" they repeated. "Yes, she has" she seriously told them. "Who?" "Me" "Eh?!" the boys reacted then Claire laughed. "Stop playing, Claire." they told her. "Do you know how nervous we are?" "Fine, fine, just answer my question first." "Eh? But we're the one who ask you first." Alexander complained to her. "Just let her, hyung." Eli told him. "Well, I just to know who among you fallen to that girl." "Eh?" "Don't act like you don't who it is, I already caught you all of you." "How?" Eli asked her. "How I found out you like Alice?" Claire’s question made everyone surprised. “Waah! What kind of person are you?!” They asked Claire who was laughing because of their reactions. “I never thought I’m correct.” She told them. “So, Eli likes Alice?” she kept giggling at the same time. And because of that, others were influenced to laugh. Eli nodded to Claire. “That would be a serious topic.” Claire became serious, but in the end she can’t hide her laugh. “Stop laughing already.” Eli told her. “Okay, okay, first of all, Alice is a “no boyfriend since birth” girl.” “We—h?” They didn’t believe what she said. “Believe me; Alice doesn’t have any experience about love.” “Why?” “It’s because of me.” Now, she was really serious. “Because I didn’t allow a guy come closer to her.”
