Dongho POV:

"Hey oppa.  Someone called you, screamed, then hung up." Aerin tossed me my phone.

"Who was it?" I sleepily asked.

"I dunno.  Some guy," she shrugged and resumed putting on her make up.

ASDFGHJKL!!! It was Kevin hyung!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ella POV:

"Kevin oppa?  Are you all right?" I asked with concern.

"Y...Yeah..." he smiled.

"You look sick or something.  And why'd you scream?" I said.

"I called a wrong number...yeah!  I called a wrong number and their voice scared me." he sighed.

"Oh....sorry for making you call," I frowned.

"Nah, no problem.  Do you want ice cream?" he asked.

"Sure!" I smiled.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kevin POV:

"Do you know what my first love was like?" I asked Ella as we were walking.

"Tell me," she smiled.

"Well, when I was 6, I had this crush on my tutor.  She was really pretty," I sighed.

"Wow!!! That was so young," she commented.

"What was your first love like?" I asked her.

"First love?  Hmmm....he was a nerd.  He didn't know how to fight, and all he could do was help me study," she smiled sheepishly.

"Did you know that when I was little, I was a bully?" I asked.

"Really?  You?" she asked.

"Why?  You can't believe it?" I pouted.

"No...well...no...I can't," she admitted.

"Why?  Is it my face?" I asked.

"You seem....too innocent," she said.

"I get that a lot," I laughed.

"I was...a rebel in high school..." she told me.  

I would've been surprised, had I not read her diary earlier.  Instead, I nodded.

"I feel like we're getting to finally know each other," I laughed.

"Me too," she smiled.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ella POV:

Gosh...am I really venting to Kevin?  I hope he doesn't spill any of this...it would be embarrassing.

"Tell me about yourself," he said.

"What?" I replied, confused.

"Xander hyung told me you needed a person to vent to.  So I'll be that person," Kevin said.

I nodded.  "You want the whole life story?"

"Just the things that trouble you," he replied.

We were sitting in a booth in the ice cream shop.  It was closed, but Kevin knew the owner so we got in.

"Well...for one, I have a crazy girl after me," I said.

"Alyssa?  How do you know she's after you?" he replied.

"If you've known Alyssa as long as I have, you would know when she is planning something," I commented.

"What else?" he asked.

"Then there's Dongho," I said.

"Ah yes, the cheating maknae?" he smiled.

"Dongho's not a cheater," I frowned.

"Apparently, your conscience says otherwise," he laughed.

"Did Xander oppa tell you?" she exclaimed.

"Yup." Kevin replied.

"Aish...and he knows that I won't beat him up..." I muttered.

"Is that all that's going on right now?" he asked with concern.

I nodded and he smiled.  "Ready to leave?" he asked.

"Yup!!!" she grinned.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dongho POV:

"Where'd Ella go?" I threw down my clothes and walked out.

"I heard that she went out with Kevin for ice cream," Kiseop said.  I nodded and went to the fridge because I was as hungry as hell.

"I also heard that you were gone for the whole night," Kiseop said.

I couldn't deny it so I just nodded.

"But the real question is...where'd you go?" he smirked.  "Underage people can't go to the club...I don't think you had a schedule either...so where'd you go?"

"Airport to meet a friend.  Then that friend checked into a hotel and I spent the night," I said.

"True, I expected that much.  Another question.  Boy or girl?" Kiseop asked.

"G...Boy," I decided.  I started walking away from Kiseop.

"Not so fast maknae.  You hesitated.  I heard it.  What's going on?" he asked again.

"You make me sound like I'm guilty of something," I turned around.

"You wouldn't do 'it', right?  I mean, you are only 17." Kiseop glared.

"Of course not, hyung! Don't evens suggest that stuff!" I yelled and went back up to my room.

Aish...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ella POV:

"After talking to you, I feel strangely better," I said as we walked back to the dorm.

"Heh.  I should be called 'Godfather' or something," Kevin laughed.

"Why gofdfather?" I asked.

"Because I know all," Kevin grinned.

"Kay, that's my new nickname for you then." I smirked.

"No!!! I like Kevin better," he said.

"Just Kevin?  Not Kevin oppa?" I asked.

"You can do aegyo, right?" Kevin replied.

"Nope," I answered.

"Say oppa with as much aegyo as you can," Kevin said.

"Oppa!" I smiled and waved.

"You can do aegyo.  So let's make a bet.  If you can get every UKISS member besides me to do you a favor when you use your aegyo, I'll give you $20 or buy you something.  But if you don't, then you have to tell me everything about your past," Kevin said.

I thought about it for a while...yeah.  I like this.

"Deal," I shook his hand and we walked in the dorm.

"But I get to choose the favor," Kevin sang and skipped upstairs.  

He's good.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"First is Xander hyung...he's an easy one when it comes to aegyo," Kevin said.

"Really?  What do I have to make him do?" I asked warily.

"What would be funny?  Hmmm...make him go running with you," Kevin snickered.

"Why?  Is he good at running?" I asked curiously.

"He's all right.  But when it comes to long distance, he gets tired easily," Kevin said.

I nodded.  "How long do I have?"

"Hows about 24 hours?" Kevin asked.

"I will not lose," I said.

"Me either," Kevin laughed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Xander POV:

"Oppa!" Ella came in and smiled.

"Hey.  How was venting to Kevin?" I asked.

"It was fun.  He bought me ice cream," Ella grinned.

"So what do you need?" I asked.

"Well...I was wondering...if you wanna go jogging with me?" she asked hopefully.

Dang....just what I'm NOT good at.  She could see my hesitation because she gave me the dreaded puppy dog eyes.  Argh! CAN NOT RESIST AEGYO OVERLOAD!

"Fine," I found myself saying.

"Yay!!! Whenever you wanna go jogging is fine," she said.

How about never?  "How about right now?"

She nodded and went to get changed.

What did I get myself into?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ella POV:

Kevin oppa's going down.  I haven't seen Dongho yet...

I changed into an oversized long sleeve shirt and running shorts.  And I put on my Nikes and got ready to go.

"Oppa, whenever you're ready~" I sang.

Xander came out 5 minutes later in clothes similar to mine.  And his hair was in that cute ponytail.

"I like your hair! Ready to go?" I asked.

"Ella, I warn you now, I'm not the best runner in the world," he said.

"Neither am I," I said.

"Ready," Xander said.

We stretched first (since I didn't want any leg cramps) and then we started jogging.  Xander oppa looked fine; I don't know why he said he couldn't run.  That was downhill.  Uphill was a different story.

"Xander oppa...do you want to rest again?" I asked.

"Ani.  We're almost there, right?" he asked.

"We live up there," I pointed to the top of the big hill.

"Aish...let's go," he started jogging again.  But we soon stopped at a park. 

I took a picture of him lying on the grass (people were staring).  Then I took a picture of both of us lying in the grass.

We ended up walking back to the top of the hill in laughter.

"Remind me never to go running with you again," Xander said before heading to the shower.

"Neh~" I smiled.

I walked into Kevin's room and threw him the camera.

"What's this?" he asked.

"Xander oppa's challenge," I shrugged.

"You are good," he admitted.

"Isn't this game fun?" I laughed.

"It totally is," he replied, scrolling through my picture.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

i felt like there wasn't enough ukiss in the chapters these days. looking back, it was either ellaxdonghoxeli moments, alyssaxaerin moments, or just plain old drama.

so kevin's back as 'godfather', alexander's back as 'the psychologist', and kiseop's back as 'detective lee kiseop'. keke

more of ukiss and less of drama in the next chapters.

and if you're wondering, i'm on a roll today! and not many people are updating. so i am.
