I had someone managed to find my way home and locked myself in my room. I had unknown numbers calling me twenty-four seven. I was probably guessing it was worried SHINee. How did they even get my phone number? Oh, yeah. They stole my phone a while back and probably found the phone number.

Lying on my bed, strumming my guitar, I kept thinking about what happened earlier and the fight with Minah.

Suddenly, there was a soft knock on the door.

I wiped away my tears and wearily unlocked it.

“Jin Ae! Please don't kill yourself because of depression,” Taemin jumped onto me, clinging onto me for dear life.

“Ah, Tae. Tae. I. Can't. Breath.” I struggled to let out every word.

“Ah! I'm sorry,” He let me go.

“Are you okay?” Minho walked in.

I nodded my head, “I guess.”

“That was some fight earlier,” Jonghyun commented. The guys gave him death glares, “What? I mean we heard it in the dance studio and-” Key who somehow already managed to get to my bed, chucked a pillow at his face to get him to stop talking.

“Was that your friend who called you that night? The one with Kai?” Key brought up the sore subject.

I just nodded my head, “Yup,”

“Jin Ae,” Onew's voice was tender and soft. I can honestly say that hearing this side of him was rare. “You need to tell us what's going on. You're hiding something from us. We can tell by how you 'slipped off' of the cliff and now you lock yourself in your room with depression. You need to tell us what's wrong,”

“I'm fine, really,” I lied. It can't tell them now. It's too early.

Minho sighed, “Just tell us when you're ready.” He saw right through my act.

“Come down for dinner in a bit, it's gonna be something good,” Key remarked as the boys headed out of my room.

“Can't wait!” I yelled back at him.

I walked down the steps and into the kitchen, only to have to the boys drop everything they were doing to stare at me. I was wearing some black short shorts and a clingy blue tank-top that read 'Just Dance'. For some reason whenever I felt down or was struggling with something, my lucky dance tank-top, which was the one I wore at the national competition that we won first place in, would always cheer me up a bit.

The boys looked down and continued setting the table, arranging the food, etc.

Minho pulled out a chair for me, without making any eye contact.

“Thank you,” I smiled. He just avoided looking at me and nodded.

I was about to pour myself some water, but Taemin sprung up to do it for me. I thanked him too, but he avoided eye contact as well. Next, we prayed grace and for some reason Key and Onew didn't hold hands with me this time.

“Oops, I dropped my fork,” I said. I was about to get up and grab a new one, but Jonghyun beat me to it and swiftly grabbed one from the drawer and placed it on my plate. Again, all doing this without looking at me.

“Why are you guys doing everything for me? AND why are you all avoiding eye contact with me?” I asked.

“I have no idea what you're talking about,” Jonghyun replied, saying it to his glass of water.

“Um, Jonghyun, I'm over here,” I waved my arms crazily in the air.

“Well, I'm full.” Jonghyun got up and plopped himself on the couch, turning on the TV.

“Me too,” Minho put his dishes in the sink and joined Jonghyun.

“Same,” Onew got up.

“Hyung! Wait up. Put on a movie,” Taemin rushed to Onew's side.

“Let's watch a comedy!” Key screamed and quickly rushed to them.

Something's fishy. They are definitely acting too helpful and nice, yet completely distant and less flirtatious or touchy-feely. Hm.. Maybe I should test them to see if they can really avoid me. Knowing these boys, a little seduction game would be interesting. Wait, what am I thinking? This could end up bad. Yeah, but what other choice do I have? Am I gonna have them keep this up? I just want to squeeze out the reason behind all of this out of them. ….. Fine. I'm gonna do this even if it makes me a little . I'm way too curious to know why they're acting like this.

Finally giving into this mental conflict with the little voice in my head, I yelled, “Hey guys! Wait up! Don't start the movie without me!” Let the game begin.

All of the guys crowded on the couch, obviously making sure that I don't sit with them. The order from farthest to closest was Taemin, Key, Onew, Jonghyun, and Minho.

“Aw, guys that's no fair,” I leaned over the couch, putting my hands firmly on the the arm rest, showing just a little cleavage.

AHH! I screamed internally. I shouldn't be doing this. This is feels completely wrong.

NO! The voice in my head fought back. You're curious right? Just live with it until you get your answers.

All eyes dropped to look directly at my tank top. Minho easily pulled away, knowing his self-control. It was going to be a challenge to make him crack. However, I'm pretty sure I mentioned before that I love a challege. Taemin blushed as Key umma quickly covered Taemin's eyes and forced himself to look in a different direction. Onew just yawned, seeming bored and looked away. He probably has seen bigger knowing his player status. Jonghyun on the other hand just stared directly at them, wide-eyed. Minho saw the erted expression on his face and grabbed Jonghyun's chin to force it to look at the TV.

“We should concentrate on watching the movie. Right Jonghyun?” Minho had a threatening tone in his voice.

“U-uh, yeah,” Jonghyun reluctantly listened to Minho's command.

I pouted. These guys are doing better than I thought. I guess I'm going to have to kick it up a notch, using SHINee's black hole in the group, the one who obviously had less control than either of them at this point : Jonghyun.

“Okay, let's watch the movie.” I stated, “But Minho, none of you guys saved me a spot,”

“You can sit on the floor,” Minho casually stated.

“Nope,” I shook my head, “I think I'm going to sit right, here,” With that said I sat directly on Jonghyun and spread my legs across Minho. Why Minho? I said he was gonna be a challenge right? I would be extremely overjoyed if I made him crack.

“Get your legs off,” Minho growled, knowing that if I kept my act up something bad might happen. His eyes warned me that if I kept doing this to the boys, someone would soon pounce. I shoved his telepathy out of my mind. Minho wouldn't crack. No matter what.

With that said, I turned to face Jonghyun still sitting on his lap, “Jjong~,” I whispered in his ear, “You don't mind me sitting here do you?” My hand was on the back of his neck playfully it with my thumb. My finger was teasingly tracing hearts on his biceps.

Jonghyun snapped and toppled on top of me, tossing me onto the coffee table.

“I know we promised not to do anything to her since she's going through a lot right now, but I seriously can't control it anymore,” Jonghyun started lightly kissing your neck.

“Ah, let go,” His grip was tight on your wrists. SHINee didn't stop him, knowing that bugging Jonghyun when he was in the zone from complete ual frustration would end up with you being punched. His kisses started to trail down my collarbone, moving lower and lower.

“Stop! I will tell you guys everything if Jonghyun gets off of me!” I bargained the truth for my freedom.

At this, all the guys pounced at Jonghyun and strapped him down onto the couch. Jonghyun struggled in their grasps while screaming threats at them. When they managed to calm him down, I began.

“Long time ago there was an incident Minah and I had with a guy I was head-over-heels for. Minah was sorry ever since the incident. She cried, sobbed, and stayed in my front yard until I would forgive her. By night time, I had to let her in because it was storming outside. She cried and I cried, both of us for similar reasons. Mine mostly because the guy was the first person I was ever serious about and this is how it would end. I forgave Minah and never blamed her for the incident, though many people tried to convince me otherwise.”

“So then do you hate her now because of what happened with Kai?” Taemin asked.

I shook my head and had a slight smile on my face, “Honestly, I don't hate her. I was just upset that she didn't tell me about, that she kept it as a secret and lied to my face. I wasn't really angry with the fact that she stole Kai. Actually, I had some disappointment and pain that she didn't tell me about it. Minah and I tell each other everything. I guess I just felt a sense of betrayal.

But then I realized something. When you love someone shouldn't you always think about them no matter how many miles separate you two? Truth be told, the last time I even thought about Kai was when he called. Since Minah took him away from me shouldn't I be angry and upset about the fact that I lost someone I loved? I am upset, but just because I trusted them and they lied to me.

For some reason, I actually strangely feel happy for them. All in all, it might be confusing and all, but I came to the conclusion that I never sincerely truly loved Kai. Maybe I was just trying to have him fill the void in my heart where my previous boyfriend had been?” I looked at them with sincere eyes.

All the guys had a goofy smile slapped on their faces.

“Um, why are you guys looking at me like that?” I asked.

“Wow, who ever knew you were that mature,” Key bluntly stated.

“YAH! I'm mature!” I huffed.

The guys laughed. I stared at them intently.

“What?” Jonghyun asked.

“Thank you guys. You helped me get out of my slump.” I stood up and teasingly walked around them, “Who knows? Maybe you guys were the reason I never even thought of Kai lately,”

The guys smiled.

“We'll always be there for you when you need us JinJin!” Taemin jumped up at me and gave me a hug.

The rest of them smiled and nodded in agreement.

“Thanks guys.” I pulled them all in for a group hug.

Heartwarming right? I know :)
