Sehun's POV

Borin was really starting to freak me out. She spun around the studio pulling out various dance moves from our songs. I shuddered as she moved closer to me and I took yet another step back, fully aware that eventually my back was going to just hit the wall.

"Where is Ling," I asked again.

"Let's make that deal, then we'll talk about Ling." She sang.

I heaved a sigh and crossed my arms at her. "Alright, what's your deal?"

She smiled and grabbed me by the arm. She pulled herself into my arms and wrapped her arms around me.

"Let's date."

I pushed her away almost immediately. "Excuse me?"

"We don't have to publicize it, I just want to be closer to you." She slid a finger down my chest giving me the shivers. "Both mentally and physically."

"I don't like you," I growled. "You're dating Luhan."

She waved a hand at me. "Luhan was just to make Ling angry, there are no feelings attached to that relationship."

She tried to hug me again and I jumped out of her reach. I held a hand out to her, making sure she didn't come any closer.

"This is sick," I said to her. "You're sick, and I'm not going to date you."

She pouted and raised an eyebrow. "Then what do you suggest I do with Ling?"

Ling safety was at stake here.

"For how long?"

She looked at me in surprise and leaned towards me. "Do you like Ling?"

I felt the colour rise to me cheeks and I looked away trying to cover my face with my hands. "N-no."

"You know," Borin said slowly. "She and Xiumin were kissing at an ice-cream stall."

I said nothing but my heart raced as I imagined Ling's lips on Xiumins. So they really are dating.

"But that doesn't matter, there don't seem to be a problem," She said, her voice was flat.

I looked at her but she wasn't looking at me now. She stared hard at her shoes.

"I don't like Ling," I said firmly again. I don't know what my feelings for her are yet.

She looked up at me and nodded. "Alright, let's date until you fall in love."

"With you?"

She smiled. "With anyone, as long as you fall in love. Though I'm sure that it'll be with me."

I blinked at her, what was she trying to say?

"Do we have a deal?"

"I guess so."

Borin grabbed my hand and I jerked forward. She placed her hand around my neck and pulled me into a kiss, her tongue snaking into my mouth.

I closed my eyes praying for Lings safety and realised that my body didn't tingle the way it did when I kissed Ling.

Ling's POV

I sat in the backroom looking into the studio. Apparently the mirror was one-way and I could see through to the other side. The guys who pulled me into the room stood on guard at the exits, each wearing a mask to hide their identity.

How did Borin manage to get these guys to follow her anyways?

I watched as Sehun and Borin talked in the studio. I couldn't hear what they were saying, but judging by Sehun's body language, he didn't like how close Borin was getting to him.

"Do you think you could get me some water?" I asked one of the men guarding me.

He didn't move let alone respond to my request. It seemed that any attempt at escaping was futile.

"Ling?"

Xiumin exploded through the doors pushing one of the guards away.

"Minseok!"

I ran into his open arms and buried my face in his chest. He held on to me as the other members piled in after him swinging what seemed to be a bunch of wooden sticks. Nam Soon was no where to be seen.

"Are you alright?" Xiumin whispered in my ear. His voice was shaking and he held me tight against him almost suffocating me.

I nodded. "Sehun though,"

The two of us turned to look at the one-way mirror where Borin and Sehun stood talking still.

"I'll go get him," Baekhyun along with Chen ran out of the room and headed for the studio.

I moved to join them.

"You stay here," Kai said as Xiumin held me back. "We're going to go have a talk with Borin."
D.O, Kai, Lay left the room taking the guards with them, leaving me alone with Xiumin. I stood with my back to him as he locked his arms around me with no intentions of letting go.

"I'm sorry we let this happen to you," Xiumin whispered in my ear and rested his chin on my shoulder.

"It's not your fault," I muttered but my attention was on Sehun and Borin.

Knowing Borin, Sehun was anything but safe in that room alone with her.

"Ling," Xiumin spun me around in his arms and pressed his forehead on mine, his hands resting on my waist. "I should've protected you better."

Xiumin's eyes were wet with worry. I looked into his soft brown eyes and saw my own reflection. No, you've protected me plenty.

It broke my heart to see Xiumin sad like this.

"Minseok," I whispered as I pressed my lips against his.

It started as a small, light kiss and eventually turned into something much more than that. Xiumin pulled me close enough for our stomachs to touch and slowly pressed me against the wall. The familiarity of his body pressing me against the wall made my head swim until eventually all I could think about was his lips.

The heat of his body against mine made my heart race to the point that I could hardly breathe. I felt his fingers stroke my lower back and move up my spine giving me the chills. He broke the kiss and pressed his lips down my neck and to my collarbone. His teeth bite me lightly and I let out a small gasp, letting my eyes wander lazily around the room.

Through the one-way mirror, Sehun's lips were locked with Borin's.

"Minseok!" I pushed him off and he looked at me with a surprised expression.

"S-sorry!" I watched as his face grew bright red and he covered his face with his hands.

"No, Sehun!"

Xiumin's POV

I understood now just what kind of urges Sehun had that day when I walked in on them on the couch. My mind blanked out as I lost myself in her scent and I let my body do the rest. Everything about her was intoxicating, her scent, her lips and the sound of her small gasp as I kissed her neck.

She pushed me away just as I was about to leave a mark on her collarbone.

"Minseok!" Her voice was hasty and I immediately apologized. Had I hurt Ling? I didn't have much experience in this after all.

"No," She pointed at the one-way mirror. "Sehun!"

I felt my heart sink as my eyes wandered to the mirror. Borin's face was buried in Sehun's in the studio but I didn't care. I looked at Ling's worried expression and sighed.

Again, Ling was worried about yet another member.

I was sure that Ling didn't have any special feelings for Sehun but it hurt none the less that she would push me away for this.

I ran my hand through my hair as Ling ran out the door leaving me alone with my racing heart and my rushed breathing.

Patience Minseok, all we need is patience.

Patience was something I did not have when it came to my feelings for Ling.
