*Taemin’s POV*

“Weeee!” I shouted as Brianna pushed me higher and higher on the swing. 

“Hahaha, you’re too funny Taemin!” she laughed and stopped pushing me, leaving me to pump with my legs. “So, how different is America from Korea?”

“Well, there’s not that many people with slanty eyes here in America, and there are a lot more drive thru restaurants.”

“Haha, that’s because we’re all lazy dingleberries.”

The comment sent me dying in laughter. “Brianna, you’re the funniest girl I know! I’m so glad I met you first out of all the girls!”

*Brianna’s POV*

I blushed at his charming words.

Gosh this guy is soooo cute!

“Wanna see who can jump the furthest?” I asked as I hopped onto the swing next to him.

“Sure! But prepare to loose… dingleberry!”

“Oh, now it’s on!” I began to pump my legs, increasing my height and speed on the swing. Finally we got so that we were in sync with each other.

“Ready?” Taemin asked, smiling over at me.

“Ready,” I smiled back.

“Hana… tul… set!”

We leapt off the swings at the same time. It felt like we were flying!...then falling.

Our feet hit the ground at the same time, but practically in the same place as well, causing us both to lose our balance and fall backward.

“Oof!”

I felt my body being sandwiched between the ground, and something… warm? And… soft?

“What the-,” I started, opening my eyes, but my words came to a halt when I found myself staring into Taemin’s own eyes.

“Uh, I, um, uh…” he stuttered. “I’m sorry.” However, even after he apologized, he just stayed there, lying on top of me, gazing into my warm, hazel eyes.

“Taemin?”

“Yeah?”

“I think it’s time… for you… to get off my now.” I was so squished I could barely get the words out of my mouth.

“Oh; right. Right! Sorry!”

He stood up quickly and offered a hand to help me up.

When I was back on my feet I noticed Taemin’s eyes darting all around, avoiding my gaze at all costs.

“I’m really, really sorry,” he pleaded, not knowing what else to say.

As his “sorry’s” continued, I did something not even I expected. I took his hand, pulled him close to me, and kissed him on the cheek. It happened so fast, I wasn’t sure if I had imagined it, or it really happened. But, when I looked over and saw Taemin’s tomato-red face, the truth became evident.

I bit my lip. Did I really just do that?

*Onew’s POV*

“So, what do you like to do?” It was the first thing I had said since Vanessa began our tour around the mansion.

“I love to talk, laugh, sing, party, and watch videos of Jonghyun on Youtube. Gosh, he’s soooo cute! Did you know…” Her voice faded as I began to drift off into my thoughts.

Why hadn’t Vanessa grabbed Minho? Why hadn’t she left me with that other girl… oh what was her name…Rebecca! She was the one my eyes were first drawn to. Why hadn’t I gotten to spend time with her instead of this maniac?!

I crossed my fingers and hoped with all my heart that Minho was doing badly; stuttering, saying the wrong things, ANYTHING. I just wanted to get my chance with Rebecca, before it was too late…
