"It's weird of you to use Jeondaemal." Mina spoke and looked down. Her heart was feeling weird, now that Donghyuck had suddenly called her so formally. It made him seem far away from her. She smiled sadly before looking up and tilting her head. "I'm glad you came, Donghyuck." She whispered and turned around. "Please find a good place in the crowd." She continued and looked at her feet.

Mark felt the tension and smiled. "I'll take them to their seats." He said and dragged Haeyoung and Donghyuck away, while Mina looked up and locked her eyes with Bohee. "Mina-yah" Bohee said and walked up to her best friend, embracing her. "I think it's time to either confess to him or let him go." Bohee, who of course knew of the inner conflict Mina had with confessing to Donghyuck. 

"I don't know if it would be okay to confess to him when he is still not over Minyoung. You know?" Mina said and tried not to let the tears fall down. "Mina, don't cry now. You'll be fine." Bohee promised and Mina nodded her head. "Yes. Yes, I'll be. This is not Kim Doyoung after all." She said to herself before continuing to prepare for the concert.

"I don't think it's a good idea for you to be here."

Seungcheol looked at the two teenagers in front of her. "Minyoung" Seungcheol spoke and looked at the pretty girl with furious eyes. "Do you really think it's a good idea to turn up here with him?" Seungcheol eyed the boy carefully. "I met him outside. He saw the advertisement in the newspaper and I am curious about how good Seo Mina actually is." Minyoung said and sounded as cocky as always.

"Where have you been all this time?" Seungcheol asked his cousin. 

Minyoung looked at the merchandise in front of her. It had been weeks since she last been to school and she didn't intended to visit this school one more time. "I spoke with Mum. She took me out of school. I am transferring schools." Minyoung explained and looked at her hands. "Eomma said I should stop minding about what other people do and should concentrate on getting a good graduate and everything." Minyoung said and looked at the boy next to her.

"We also came to apologize so please, please, please make us meet her before of the concert." Minyoung bowed down deeply to her cousin who sighed. "Give me a second." Seungcheol spoke and walked towards the dressing room. 

"What do you think is going on?" Haeyoung asked Donghyuck who sat next to her right in front of the stage. The cousins have seen the entrance of Minyoung and a mysterious boy. Suddenly Haeyoung flinched when a door slammed and Mina ran out of the dressing room; Bohee, Mark and Seungcheol right after her.

Mina stopped running when she stood in front of Lee Minyoung and Kim Doyoung.

"O-Oppa." Mina whispered and outstretched her arm towards the older boy before stopping in her motions and putting a frown on her face. "What are you doing here?" She asked with pain in her voice. "Are you here to ruin my concert?" She asked looking at the two in front of them.

"Minyoung!" Mina yelled. "Haven't you done enough already?" She asked. "Thrashing my room, ruining Donghyuck's life and stealing Doyoung from me!" She was furious and Minyoung looked down. "I'm sorry for what happened in the past!" Minyoung said and stretched her hand to touch Mina's shoulder. "Don't touch me!" Mina yelled. "You were my best friend and you did me dirty!" She screamed and rushed her fingers through her hair before looking at Doyoung.

"You fudging knew I had a crush on you!" She said.

Haeyoung looked at Donghyuck, who seemed frozen. "They were friends?" He asked and Haeyoung nodded, watching the older girls intensely.

"You played with me and had a thing going on with my best friend, Doyoung!" Mina said unpolite and then turned to Minyoung. "I really liked Doyoung and I really like Donghyuck! Yet you took him and ruined him once again!" She screamed and then started to push Minyoung and Doyoung away. "Get lost!" She screamed and pushed them further to the door. "I don't want any of you at my concert. Get lost!" She screamed. "Seungcheol! Get them away from me!" She shrieked out and knelt down, holding her ears.

Seungcheol lead Minyoung and Doyoung to the door. "I told you it was stupid to come!" Doyoung said to Minyoung. "You should be happy I gave you another chance, Kim Doyoung!" Minyoung hissed and pushed Seungcheol's arm off her wile she left the building. "It was all your fault." Minyoung said and gave Doyoung a push before walking back home. Doyoung turned around to the building and sighed. He kinda liked Mina back then but she was young and didn't knew anything about love. 

Exactly how she was now. She hasn't learned anything.

"Mina, calm down." Bohee hugged her best friend, calming her down, while she was still crying out in pain.

All these emotions that were bottled up in Mina were brought out properly throughout the concert. Mina slayed every song, put all her fears and worries in strumming away the fears on her guitar, her vocals filling the room; people screaming her name and waving slogans with her name on it.

Halfway throughout the concert Mina called Mark on stage and handed him a second microphone. "Please give it up for my classmate Mark who taught me how to rap." She introduced him. "In order to prove you that I can rap Mark and I have prepared this special stage for you!" She smiled and then the melody of Nicki Minaj's "Super Bass" started.

Mina started slowly before firing up her vocals got faster and she was spitting out the lyrics, making the fans scream. 

Haeyoung was already standing on her chair, screaming as well, dancing along to the fancy melody while Donghyuck was staring at Mina in awe, her words from earlier running wild in his thoughts. I really liked Doyoung and I really like Donghyuck! She liked him! Seo Mina liked Lee Donghyuck and he couldn't explain how and why she liked him but never said anything but now seeing her on stage he could understand why Seo Mina was such a special person.

She fought for her dream so hard after losing the love of her life to her best friend.

Lee Minyoung had hurted Seo Mina so much in the past and yet she never stopped fighting while Donghyuck only gave up and hid away because he was embarrassed a Noona didn't like him. But now he had the truth right infront of him. There was a Noona who liked him. And it wasn't the most flashy or attention seeking one. It was a Noona who always had her eyes on him.

A smile spread on Donghyuck's lips when he watched Mina do a funny dance with Mark to the chorus while their voices matched each other very well and create a wonderful and happy athmosphere in the room. Donghyuck stood up, started screaming Mina's name and hold up the banner Haeyoung had bought for him earlier.

"Mina-noona! FIGHTING!" He screamed and caught Mina's eye who simply smiled at him.
