* It's in the story and it may confuse some, but Eirene and Irene are pronounced differently. You can check it from google translator to see.

* Not the perfect chapter, but yea... Am I revealing too much what she is or still not?

* Oh one more thing - Irene loves classic and it's part of the chapter. If you're interested to hear what she's listening in the chaper it's this - Bach's 3^rd sonata in C major

---------------------------------------------------

“So when did you come back, Eirene?” I glared at my friend sitting in front of me.

“Do you want Mei to know you’re here, Chika?” after saying this, the dumb guy just froze in place. “Thought so.” I turned around to grab my mug of hot chocolate and then I felt his head on my shoulder.

“Don’t be mean~.” I patted his head. What did Mei like in him – that he was docile? “So you’ll come, right? It’s her birthday!” I raised my eyebrow.

“Why are you keeping celebrating it? I can’t find meaning to it.”

“Oh, just come. She’ll be happy to know you’re back.” I sighed and gulped from my mug, feeling Chika’s gaze on me, waiting for a reply.

“Ok, I’ll come. How about you leave now?”

“Mean as always.”

“Well, only you have this privilege.” I placed a fake smile on my face, and received a glare in return to it. “I’ll walk you to the door.” I said pushing my orange haired friend.

I opened the door and just when he stepped out, he leaned towards me, so close I could feel his breath on my lips. I didn’t move and inch – I was so used to it.

“You better come.”

“I get it, now – LEAVE!” I shouted and kicked him in the to hurry and go.

“Dear, why are you so mean?” he whined rubbing the place that I kicked. Just then I heard a laugh, from those annoying and irritated ones, and a little chuckle. I turned my head around to see my neighbors, this time there were three of them. “Wow! You live near SHINee?! Eirene, are you kidding me?! Why didn’t you tell me?” Chika talked faster than usual and while doing it he shook my shoulder.

“Who?” I turned to him with question in my expression, he looked shocked. Then I turned to the boys and they had the same expression. “What?”

“You have no idea, do you?” I shook my head negatively and smiled sweetly, so I could be forgiven for my unawareness – not that I cared. “They’re top idols here. Mei is a fan.”

“You don’t know who we are?” the boy that was named… Key if I got it right from last night’s shouting, asked after he came over his shock. I shook my head again negatively. He sighed in disbelieve. I was not in Korea for 15 years – what did he expect?

“Well, excuse my friend, she’s classic freak.” Chika started apologizing on my behalf. He was treating humans too well.

“Said the Rammstein freak.”

“At least people listen to them.”

“Yea, those brainless monkeys are famous – right, I forgot.”

„Key-hyung, who is this?”I heard a whisper from the three boys and I turned their way, only to make them stiff more. Were we that freaky looking?

“Chika, you better go. We’ll see each other later.” I put my stone face again, becoming more serious. I guess my freaky friend got what I meant. He leaned closer and whispered in my ear.

“You know, it won’t hurt talking with people. They won’t eat you.” I glared at him. Yea... they won’t. Then he left waving at me and the boys. They waited for him to close the elevator before they move forward. In their place I would hate being with him in one small box too. I was just about to close the door when the third boy came closer to me.

“Noona, my name is Taemin. Nice to meet you.” I smiled sweetly, not faking it. This one was charming.

“I’m Irene.”

“Didn’t the hyung just now called you otherwise?” hmm… Yea, I’m so telling Mei he came over.

“I changed it years ago, now it’s Irene.” He smiled again and I smiled too… He’s cute. I looked at the other two boys and sighed. “At least you’re more polite that them. Go, those two are waiting.” I said while ruffling his hair. When I pulled my hand back I got inside the now empty apartment.

-----

Why I am not surprised? I get home and they get home too, I go out – someone will come out. It’s been a week now, at least I got that they were five, they were famous… they had nice voices. And I knew only two names – Taemin and Key. Now I was in the elevator with Taemin and the gradient haired one.

“Noona, what are you listening?” Taemin pulled my earphone out and stared at me with a smile. Why was I unable to get mad at him? I looked at the other boy; he was leaning against the wall and was staring the ground.

“Bach’s third sonata in C major. Have you listened to it?” Taemin shook his head negatively. What was I expecting? He was too young to listen to classical music, even if he was singer.

“I’ve listened it.” the gradient haired boy finally spoke. “It’s beautiful.”

“Yea it is.” I responded smiling at him, and he smiled back. Something was familiar in him… Nah, I’m probably imagining.

-----

I heard the doorbell and headed to open. When I did Taemin was standing right in front of me.

“Hey, sweety. What’s up?” somehow I was able to relax with him… He had the feeling of a little brother. He showed me something, and I grabbed it to see it clearer. “Ring Ding Dong? What’s this?”

“Our latest single. There are pictures too, I will show you who is who, so that way Key won’t get mad at you.” He smiled sweetly and charming.

“Oh, okay… Come in then.” I made a place for him to enter and he literally hopped in. I chuckled – he was so cute~.

We talked for about an hour. Taemin showed me who was who and I learned that Key’s real name was Kibum, the oldest boy with them was Jinki, or Onew, the guy he was getting along with best, and the tallest among them, was Minho, and the gradient haired guy was J...Jonghyun? … It was seriously hard name to pronounce.

I was just about to offer him to stay for lunch when the doorbell rang again. I bet someone was here to take him home. I think he thought the same, because he placed a fake smile and came with me to open the door. When I opened there was standing the guy with the hardest name of them all.

“Is Taemin still here? Kibum asked me to bring him home.” I smiled and turned to Taemin, who was behind me.

“You heard your hyung.”

“Whose name is?” I blinked twice before assimilating what the kid wanted from me. Was he testing me?

“Jon…Jonghyun?” I tried pronouncing it correct and that made me stutter… This was embarrassing. I heard him chuckling and I turned around to glare at him.

“I’m not laughing...” he started placing his hands in front of him in defense. “I know my name is hard. You looked cute struggling to say it.” I glared again and the funny feeling just went in thin air. Taemin went out and got in their apartment, while Jonghyun stayed there.

“What?” I asked, it was obvious that he wanted something.

“How old are you?” how old was I… I stopped counting years ago… I tried remembering, and he raised his eyebrow in anticipation.

“20.” If I have to recall it was 20… Yea, it was.

“Then there is no need for honorifics.” He smiled at me and was just about to enter when Chika’s words echoed in my head. “You know, it won’t hurt talking with people. They won’t eat you.” – I guess it won’t hurt.

“Hey,” he turned around. “Why don’t you guys come for dinner?”

“I’ll ask the others and I’ll let you know.” I nodded. Then each of us entered our apartments.

---------------------------------------------------

And that's it for now - boring huh?

Oh no offence to Rammstein's fans! I just can't see someone who listenes to classical music to like them... I bet there are people like this, just my thoughts
