Ha! I can imagine this dude’s face, going to a blind date and finding out that the girl is a famous actress,’ Woo Bin said. ‘Did he faint or wet himself?’
‘Ani,’ Shin Hye replied. ‘As a matter of fact, he started laughing. And I laughed, too.’
The three guys looked at her curiously, waiting for an explanation.
She smiled. ‘Because we knew each other. My blind date was Kim Soo Hyun.’
Jong Suk’s eyes widened. ‘Kim Soo Hyun? As in You Who Came From The Stars’ Kim Soo Hyun? The alien?’
Shin Hye nodded her head. ‘Eo. It turned out he was filming Dream High then and his shoot ended a lot later than planned so he couldn’t make it to our date. It was really funny.’
Woo Bin held his hands up. ‘Chamkan. So are you telling us that… you dated Kim Soo Hyun?’
‘Of course not,’ Shin Hye replied. ‘It was just a blind date. He told me it was his first time to be set up, too. His friend was begging him to do it because he wanted to look good to his girlfriend. Since he was also curious, he agreed. So it was kind of an experiment for both of us.’
Shin Hye turned to Min Ho who was the only one who hasn’t asked her questions. He was listening keenly just a while ago. But now, Shin Hye couldn’t read his expression. Note to self: Explain Kim Soo Hyun situation to Lee Min Ho in detail later.
‘So you two…’ Min Ho finally spoke up, ‘…didn’t meet up again after that?’ His tone was curious, but also hesitant.
‘We did,’ Shin Hye answered nonchalantly. ‘But just once, and with the couple that tried to set us up. We planned to hang out but I had to film Heartstrings so that never really happened. We saw each other a year after at the Baeksang Awards and we were still laughing about it. I mean, the only reason we agreed to a blind date was to meet an ordinary guy and girl, but we ended up meeting each other.’
‘Daebak! Imagine if you two ended up dating though. Power couple!’ Woo Bin exclaimed. Shin Hye saw Min Ho and Jong Suk shoot him a look, but Woo Bin didn’t notice. ‘You didn’t like him?’
‘Ya, what girl wouldn’t like him? He’s really nice, and very good-looking,’ Shin Hye said deliberately, eyeing Min Ho. When he didn’t seem to mind, she smiled. ‘But you know, there were just no sparks there.’
‘Great story, Shin Hye,’ Jong Suk beamed.
‘Gumawo. Although I don’t know if I have any more juicy secrets to share that could top that.’
‘I’m sure you do,’ Min Ho blurted out, looking at Shin Hye in the eye. He cleared his throat. ‘Let’s move on, shall we? My turn.’
Min Ho studied the table and tried to decide which ball to target next. Woo Bin leaned closer to him and whispered something in his ear. Min Ho nodded slightly. He walked to the left side of the pool table and stooped down. His eyes were laser focused on the ball. Shin Hye thought he looked so cool like that. She leaned on her stick and sighed, looking at Min Ho’s perfect form. When he finally hit the ball, it went in. This time, Lee Jong Suk grunted.
‘Assa!’ Woo Bin gave Min Ho a fist bump. ‘Lee Jong Suk, spill it.’
‘I dated an idol,’ Jong Suk told them without batting an eyelid.
‘Chincha?’ Woo Bin smirked. ‘Who?’
‘That part, I can’t tell you because we agreed never to talk about it,’ Jong Suk replied.
‘YA! Even Shin Hye namedropped!’
‘Sorry, I really can’t,’ Jong Suk pouted. ‘But that was when she was still a trainee. Uhm. Six, seven years ago? We were really young then. I can give you a hint though.’ He fell silent as he thought about it. ‘There are nine members in the group.’
‘Omona!’ Shin Hye’s hand flew to cover her mouth. ‘Girls Generation? Nugu? Tiffany? Yoona?’ She Hye asked curiously. ‘Jessica? Sooyoung? Animyeon…’
‘Ya, he said he wasn’t going to tell us who,’ Min Ho cut Shin hye off. ‘It might not even be Girls Generation.’ He turned to Jong Suk. ‘Nine Muses? After School? UEE?’
Cham na. ‘Oppa, you told me you didn’t know a lot of idols. You don’t even know which group Hyungsik is from,’ Shin hye turned to Min Ho, frowning.
A smile was playing on the sides of his lips. ‘Of course I don’t know male idols. I only know girl groups. Every man in Korea knows his girl groups,’ Min Ho replied. ‘Right, Woo Bin?’
Woo Bin simply nodded his head. ‘It’s as necessary as military service. We’re up to date when it comes to those stuff.’
Shin Hye gave Min Ho the stink eye. He just shrugged.
‘Yoo Ji Ahn and I broke up,’ Woo Bin told them calmly, after taking a sip from his beer bottle.
‘MEO?’ Jong Suk asked, bewildered. WHEN?’
‘Last week,’ Woo Bin replied. After he missed the third shot, Jong Suk and Shin Hye were given the chance to try to pocket some balls and earn secrets from the two guys. Min Ho turned to a deadpan Woo Bin. From someone who kept telling jokes and teasing the whole night, he looked considerably gloomier. He was starting to wonder if this idea of his was indeed a bad one.
‘It’s no big deal, really,’ Woo Bin said, trying to diffuse the tension. When nobody made a sound, he offered an explanation. ‘She got mad at me because she rarely sees me anymore and so we broke up. Plain and simple. Your shot, Shin Hye.’
‘Huh? Ah, uhm. Okay.’ Shin Hye faltered and observed Woo Bin before taking the shot. She was clearly caught off-guard by Woo Bin’s straightforward confession, but the ball went in anyway. She locked eyes with Min Ho without speaking a word, as if telling him it’s his turn to share a secret.
Min Ho looked at Woo Bin again and scratched his head. ‘Uhh…’ he tried to think of something that would be appropriate to share after Woo Bin’s revelation. He glanced at Jong Suk who was also looking like he wanted to run away from the room. The atmosphere still felt very awkward. He took a swig from his beer to buy time. Right when was about to speak, Woo Bin touched his arm. ‘Hyung, I can actually share another secret. You can take the next two,’ he told him.
Without qualms, Min Ho nodded his head right away. Whew. ‘Kure, go ahead.’
Woo Bin smacked his lips together as he looked at the three faces waiting for him to say something. He sighed deeply. ‘Hmm… I got back together with Yoo Ji Ahn yesterday,’ he said.
They all heard a loud whack. Min Ho realized that Shin Hye had hit Woo Bin’s arm. Hard. ‘Yaaa! That’s cheating, you choding!’
Woo Bin clutched his stomach and started to sɳιɡɡег. ‘You should have seen your faces a while ago,’ he said between fits of laughter. ‘I thought I wasn’t going to be able to hold it in.’ He wiped the sides of his eyes with his fingers. ‘Even you, hyung. Aigoo. You people are so easy, I swear.’
‘Aish,’ Shin Hye scowled. ‘That one doesn’t count!’
‘Ah wae?? It’s true! You can ask her. We were officially broken up for a week and we just got back together. Why doesn’t it count? Jong Suk didn’t even tell us the name of that idol he dated,’ Woo Bin complained.
Min Ho smiled. ‘I agree. They’re two separate secrets. So take your shot, Lee Jong Suk.’ Min Ho has to hand it to Woo Bin. He was on a roll tonight.
Min Ho watched as Jong Suk shook his head in resignation and bent down. Min Ho found himself wanting Jong Suk to sink the ball so he can finally share the secret he’s been wanting to shout to the world. He looked at Shin Hye who was biting her nails as she waited for Jong Suk to take his shot.
Jong Suk closed one eye, and carefully hit the cue ball. The 4-ball missed the pocket by what seemed like a centimetre. Jong Suk groaned loudly and threw his head back.
‘Ya, Lee Jong Suk! How could you miss that?!’ Min Ho asked roughly, frowning. That shot was so easy. What’s the use of his expensive stick if he can’t even do it right? Jong Suk looked at him with a confused expression.
Min Ho felt Woo Bin elbow him lightly. ‘Hyung, you’re not on his team.’
It took a few seconds for Min Ho to understand what he did weird, and when he did, he let out an awkward laugh. ‘Hehe, ani… I just thought it was a shame because it seemed like an easy shot. But yeah, good for us.’
In no time, Woo Bin skilfully put another ball into the pocket. ‘Lee Jong Suk, you share another secret,’ he pointed at him rather aggressively. ‘I’m still pissed off that you didn’t tell us that idol’s name.’
Jong Suk bit his lip and looked at the two guys. He looked like he was still trying to decide whether to tell them or not. His cheeks were already red when he started to speak. ‘I actually like someone right now.’
His confession sounded shy and reserved, but to Min Ho, it was as good as a smack in the head. Jong Suk didn’t reveal who this someone is yet, but in his mind, he already knew. It was a feeling he couldn’t shake off. Instinct.
Woo Bin put his hands on his waist, looking exasperated. ‘You call that a secret? You like a lot of people, babo-yah,’ he snapped back. ‘You’re not getting away with this. Tell us a real one!’
‘Let me finish, then!’ Jong Suk retorted. He looked down at his feet. ‘She’s an actress, and well, I really, really like her. And I’m starting to think it’s not just a crush,’ he continued. ‘I think it’s real this time.’
Min Ho’s eyes went to Shin Hye who, he could swear, was starting to look uncomfortable. Meoya… He wondered if she already knew that Jong Suk was talking about her. His eyes flitted from her pale face, to Jong Suk’s red one. The sight made his blood boil.
‘Chincha-ya?’ Woo Bin crossed his arms. ‘Who is it, then? Tell us so we can believe you.’
Jong Suk lifted his face and looked at Woo Bin. ‘I haven’t even told her yet,’ Jong Suk replied. ‘Let me confess to her first then I’ll tell you who.’
‘Your secrets suck!’ Woo Bin told Jong Suk. ‘Shin Hye even told us that she dated Kim Soo Hyun.’
‘I did not...’ Shin Hye started to say.
Woo Bin ignored and cut her off. ‘And I told you I broke up with my girlfriend.’
‘You got back together!’ Shin Hye raised her voice.
