when all tables are turned 8 : The cracked glass
The Kim's
" MYUNGSOO ! "
" YAAAAHHHH KIM MYUNGSOO ! "
the voice came closer . Myungsoo heard it alright , but he wasn't in the best mood to have a small chitchat with anyone .
a hand grabbed his shoulder and forced him to look at whoever the person is .
" WHATTTTT?!!!!!!! " Myungsoo yelled in annoyance . but got shocked when the person calling him , welcomed him with a warm hug .
The person stepped back and looked at Myungsoo . " you don't look so good . Are you okey ? "
Myungsoo gasped seeing a female with long curly brown her in a lady like dress . her eyes were big and ---
Myungsoo gulped for a moment .
" UEE ---- " myungsoo exclaimed. his chinky eyes almost falling out as he was gaping over uee .
uee Covered with a snigger . " yeah .. you look scared seeing me . " she chuckled while giving myungsoo a fake -intimidated expression .
myungsoo closed his wide-opened-shocked mouth after 3 minutes of eyeballing uee . " no-no-no" he sang . " it's just that, I didn't expect to see you here . " he tried to breath to calm all his mixed emotions early in the morning .
uee motioned myungsoo to sit on the nearest bench . " I did told you I was coming right ? you forgot ? " she reminded him as they both reached and sat on the bench . myungsoo muffled his hair finally remembering the night uee called him , on the night his scheming cousins left him rotten with minhae . D:
His lips curved into a chic smile . " yeah I remembered . " he said . Trying hard not to dwell on the memory of that freaking night . XD uee noticed how myungsoo kept on sighing . " what's the problem myungsoo ? " she asked leaning forward and ready to listen .
myungsoo moved an inch away with shaking head . " nothing . I'm just not in a very good mood this morning . it's nothing . " he said , convincing uee . But the latter didn't seem convinced .
" how are you and minhae ?"
myungsoo felt his colon getting all coiled hearing that name . his heart didn't behaved as it normally does either . " how's America ? " he pretended like he didn't heard her question . but uee 'a senses are probably sharper than myungsoo 's . " it's great . Did you two had a fight ? " she curiously asked not letting myungsoo skip topics .
why on earth is she asking about me and that .... Person like we're some sort of ---- whatever !
his ears heating up when flashes of last nights memory came creeping inside his head . * no no no no no ! What in the name of heaven and hell is wrong with me ??! * he mentally punched himself to stop from thinking about last night like it was the final episode of power rangers. " why the sudden visit ? " he asked . distracting his out of control inner self .
uee looked down at the sand and tried to spell her name out with the tip of her shoe . " agh .. My aunt had some business deals and asked me to come . my grandpa is okey though , his recovering . " she smiled thinking how grateful she was with her gramps getting better . myungsoo gave her a sympathizing smile . " that's good to hear . " he softly said .
They had a fun catching up conversation until the bell rang .
myungsoo stood up now breathing with relief . he was glad uee came and kept him away from plotting some murderous plans against Siwan. but he'l probably still, later . " il better be going . " he said brushing his shoes . uee nodded . " yeah .. It's so nice to see you again myungsoo . and I miss everyone . " she admitted .
" come by at our place later . Key's having this barbecue party . "
uee clapped her hands in excitement . " agh jeongmal-yo? , okey okey il be there . " she gave myungsoo a goodbye wave until she can no longer see even his shadow .
Uee felt like smiling . but stopped herself since she wasn't 102% sure yet .
-------------------------------------
KIM's residence . myungsoo 's room .after class.
myungsoo dived on his cotton bed without even changing into some comfy clothes . he closed his eyeS letting his tiredness dragged him to dreamland . he gritted his teeth almost breaking his teeth together while thinking how his ears got traumatized by hearing Siwan's name over and over and over again in school . he was like some idol stardom falling from heaven . Everybody was like on high drugs just by talking about him . " agh.. " he massaged his head for awhile . Still eyes closed and slowly relaxing .. Until ..
BANG BANG BANG !!
his door was 99% cracking into brown glitters with that strong , violent , loud slammed knocks . " HYUNGGGGGG--- HYUNNNGGGGGGGG ! -- myungsoo HYUNG ! " deep noisy voice filled the hallway .
Myungsoo grabbed a pillow and covered his ears and ignored all the knocks .
" HYUNG ! HYUNG ! ....................YAH KIM MYUNGSOO !! "
" that's IT! "He jolted up hearing how he was called informally . " this kid is like on megaphone ! --- WHAT! " he shouted after opening the door and seeing :
" WHAT DID YOU JUST CALLED ME ?? " he said with a menacing smirk . Mir , almost peeing in his shorts. was shrieking in front of him .
" minhae noona is downstairs and wanted to speak to you . " he chilled . myungsoo gulped at the thought of that girl . He poked his head outside checking the entire hall If minhae was standing somewhere near . and he breath like a dragon seeing no one . " tell her I'm dead . " he slammed his door in front of Mir and locked himself inside .
-------------------------------------
Downstairs .
Mir flew flights of steps until minhae and the one she was with stood up .
" his not answering his cell , is he upstairs ? " minhae asked . bang chul yong nodded excessively.
" his waiting for you upstairs noona . " he immediately disappeared in front of them like a thief afraid to get caught by the authorities .XD
-------------------------------------
Myungsoo covered his entire body with his blanket . Slowly drifting to sleep when ...
" myungsoo -ah ?? " a voice outside myungsoo 'a door brought chills down his soul . His eyes lighten like a bright light bulb while glancing at his closed locked door .he even pushed the couch to prevent anyone from entering .
" that idiot !! " he cursed at the thought of Mir . the kid is just too lucky that eun ah always got his back . Mir would be long dead If he was an only child .
"myungsoo ! " minhae screamed outside while knocking consecutively . " I can hear you saying incoherent words you know . open up . " she screed .
with big steps , myungsoo stood beside the door , still contemplating whether to open the damn door or just play dead .
" myungsoo , I badly need your help. Please open up . " she whimpered . Her begging voice sent shivers to myungsoo . he gulped all the weird feelings away . " ahmmm---
inner self : no man .. DON'T OPEN IT ! I swear it will be the death of you !
minhae came much closer . with only the door in between her and the one slowly dying inside the room . XD
minhae held the door knob an tried to spin it open . she frowned realizing it was still lock . " this is an emergency . please . " she couldn't believe she was actually begging . but it concerns her to so shove all the pride away .
myungsoo gripped the door knob .
inner self : NOOOO !!
" please ?? "
" Oh fine !! " myungsoo let out a long angst sigh and opened the door wide open . his inner self giving him good luck messages . XD minhae came in a hurry , she was taken aback when myungsoo walked -- err no . He ran To the corner of his room and stared his attention outside the window . * ohkey?? * she thought . She looked at myungsoo weirdly stoned .
" myungsoo , I need you to do something for me . And you can't say no . " minhae held myungsoo 's arm shaking it vigorously .
Myungsoo shoved her hands away because all his hair just raised up feeling their closeness . His heart was getting at it again . " what -- is it ? Do --it quickly . I'm --in the middle of --something here . " he stuttered . * in the middle of killing myself with this stupid thing I'm awkwardly feeling . * he mentally screamed . And
trying hard not to make any eye contact with her while trying to keep their distance .
" okey , so.. There's this school play at our school . and I'm the head writer , and -------
" just get to the freaking point . " myungsoo impatiently said . He badly wanted to get this conversation over with so she can leave and he can breath normally again . D:
minhae was cut off by a thug sound that something heavy just fell on the floor . Myungsoo looked down with curiousity that ----
" HEY WHO AND WHAT IS THIS ?! " he ball over seeing a stranger in front of him . Kneeling with begging eyes . (@_@)
the person , already kneeling bowed over like he was worshipping myungsoo . Was in school uniform , his curly hair was bulging out , he was wearing thick eye glasses with easy shinning with mercy ." I'm chan lee but just call me chanchan . you may not know me but I'm a good Friend of president jinki, were classmates. I'm the theater director of the upcoming school play and ... We actually have ----------- a problem . " he paused . He couldn't utter another word . Just by looking at myungsoo he can already predict what he's reaction will be ...
WILD .
" what has this got to do with me ? " myungsoo asked starring back and forth at chanchan and minhae , his brows forming into a perfect line . XD
the two looked at each other reluctantly .
---
a day prior * arts theater *
everybody was busy making props running here from there . the rehearsal was going on and the facilitators were all sitting on the empty red chairs and observing their ACT .
the fat gay head faculty , mr. Lim looked at the actor and actresses trolling their lines out while occasionally glancing at the script .
heechul kept on tapping his foot with anxiety , chanchan sat there , fiddling with his pen . And minhae had been bitting her nails ,tensed on her seat.
the lead actor embraced the lead actress with dry emotions . " princess , I've been dreaming of the day we'l eat -------- I mean MEET ! each other again . " he flattered , after taking a quick peak at his arm with some lines he wrote in case of Emergency .
The lady hugged the guy tightly . " I know , my heart , my liver and spleen feels the same way too and ---------
minhae scanned the script . " what on earth is she saying ?! " she complained in a low tone , whispering it to no one in particular . Chanchan was already hiding his head on his bag . His impending death drawing closer.
heechul massaged his erupting temples watching how the people on stage , screw all the scenes out that they already practiced many times.
" is this the best cast you found ?!! " mr lim, shouting so loud like a lion king , stopping all the people from moving around . " i already recommended someone and you didn't get him ?mr. Lee , is this the performance you 'l be showing to all the visitors ?! . " he threw the script on the floor like a trash before getting up . Grunting in fury and dissatisfaction .
" but sir , I swear they were normal yesterday ! ." Chanchan said while trailing behind the now leaving mr.lim .
" you call that normal ?! " he sneered . His forefinger pointing at the stage . heechul came , faking a smile . " they'l improve as day ----------
" NO !! " Mr lim, cutting heechul from saying any further words . " RE- CAST ! everyone ! " he commanded strictly , startling everyone .
" but we don't have much time to re-cast sir . " heechul said in a controlled , respectful tone but at the back of his Mind , he already stabbed the fat squalling girly pig countless of times .
" exactly my point ! this is not the play that will get all the visitors to applaud . We have important visitors . If the three of you , knew what that means ! " he shrieked , pointing his flowery fan at the three .
" but sir ----------
Mr lim stopped Minhae from uttering another word . " I want another lead actor for this . he is here and You have to get him up on that stage . " he pointed at the stage .
they three of them looked around . A lot of guys already auditioned and almost all were thrown out by heechul . " who ??" they asked .
mr lim laughed like a teenager being tickled while covering his mouth with his fan . " Kim myungsoo . " he sang dreamily . His mood changing into something disturbing . XD
" KIM MYUNG WHO?! " all of they gaped at the name .
" yes yes , he's perfect for the part . he needs to be in this play . " he ordered .
minhae 's mind was blowing down . * he will never say yes to this ! ." sir , I know him and I'm sure he won't be liking this . " she said , trying to reason out . * he will throw me out the moment he heard about this ! " she thought futuristically .
the fat wanna be princess snickered at them unpleasantly . " no Kim myungsoo , then there will be no play , and no collage scholarship for you . " he pointed at Chanchan making his jaw fall out in shocked . " and NO to your story ! " he shouted at minhae harshly and walked out singing gangnam style .
heechul stamped his feet numerous times in devastation . " THAT PIGLET -------- ! lets just forget about this STUPID PLAY ! We're wasting all our time in This ! " he nagged .
Chanchan who was now crying and sulky cupped minhae 's cheeks . " minhae ! Your my only hope ! you have to convince myungsoo ! I can't lose my scholarship , it's my life .. My dream and -- and ----- OH GOD OH NO ! " he lay on the floor , whipping into a ball .
" HE THINK WE CAN'T PULL THIS OFF ?! Yah soo minhae ! you better beg myungsoo about this ! " he said . Shaking minhae enough to make her head fall .
" but oppa -- you know myungsoo , he wont agree on this . " she said hopelessly .
heechul rolled his eyes . " oh please , it's not like I haven't heard your I TELL YOU TO DO THIS - AND HE WILL DO IT thingy you two have . " he said In his diva-ish attitude . Minhae gulped the giant lump in . " you know ?! " she asked .
" don't worry , not only me but THE ENTIRE SCHOOL KNOWS ! " he said clearing .
minhae paused for awhile . Her brain was doing some multi-thinking . until she saw her script and how Chanchan cried like it was the end of the world . She picked the script she made with hardwork . " il try . " she promised . * I just hope he wont kick me out of his room before I even try talking . * D:
----
myungsoo threw minhae and Chanchan outside his room like kittens . " NO WAY IM GONNA DO THAT PLAY . " he shouted Furiously . * the hell I'm gonna play prince-he-yoh in a children's school play ! * he strongly disagreed . The thought of memorizing lines and acting all mushy is making him vomit blood . XD
minhae begged down hugging myungsoo's leg . " myungsoo -ah ! Do this for me ! Yah I still have that wishes you know ! This is my 4th wish and you can't say NO NO to me ! " she begged . Chanchan also hugged myungsoo 's other leg ." please ! Il be your slave forever ! " he proposed .
myungsoo 's hair bristled feeling minhae 's warmth against his skin , though a cloth serves as a thin line , he suddenly felt like girl- screaming with this - FEELING - . " ya ya yaaaaaa!! get - off -- you two ! " he was pushing them away .
more like pleading . XD
minhae got up and hugged myungsoo in surprise . " can you bear seeing me all sad ?! this is important to me . I worked hard on writing this in a more presentable way and ---
myungsoo's skin felt all cold and stiff with their sudden close contact . " ye-eeee--ahh-- I can bear seeing --you like that --. " he stuttered . His throat shorty went spastic .
Inner self : really ????? ;__;
minhae faced myungsoo . Her lips pouting and eyes asking for hope . " yah .. at least consider oppa's situation ! he's in need of scholarship and ------------
myungsoo couldn't Decipher her words because all he could hear was . "alxnclapqpefuhckakkxlaxnlaoffyjcjapauhjapeicjaksjapa be ! .. Clapsijdbxmaladjxbja ..! Alxnclapqpefuhckakkxlaxnlaoffyjcjapauhjapeicjaksjapa ... ;( . Lajxoapedijxjkawifn T_T .. Clapepfhanjlxhkaoefja coapeofnel.. OTL . " he blinked his eyes twice every 2 seconds . Her calm innocent eyes and red tinted lips were all making his bones waggle like marshmallows . he almost gulped his entire tongue down his dry throat .
" YA MYUNGSOO ! Are you listening ?! " she screeched At him . she waved her hand in front of him when she noticed he stares at her like she was food for dinner .
with trembling hands , myungsoo pushed her away . " NO- NO --- asks any-- thing . Not th--is one ! " it took all his will power to even think and utter those words out .
" BUT ---------------
myungsoo shut the door before even hearing their next words . he faced his back against the door and brushed his hands along his messy hair . " this is getting worser and worser and worser ! " he worriedly murmured . he gasped at his chest feeling like giants were running inside his beating heart .
--- -----------outside -- -------------
they both fell on the ground whining together . " oppa ! what now ?? " minhae cried . * that cruel heartless jerk ! he only thinks about himself ! Agh! * she punched the floor but winced in pain when her bone kinda cracked due to the hard floor .
Chanchan stopped crying and wiped his tears when an a person popped out of his head . " we can probably recommend another guy . much more than myungsoo . " he thought aloud .
Minhae titled her head confusedly . " more than myungsoo ....... Who ? " she mumbled . Chanchan d his tablet out and scrolled some web , he clicked at SIH ULLZZANG . " this guy . He is the hot topic at our school since he got in " he pointed at a particular name . Ranking first among the rest .
Minhae Almost squealed at all the pictures of the innocent and kind face of . " Im wong jae .. That's S ----
-------------------------------------
" SIWAN ?!!!!!!!!! " myungsoo hollered hearing the name he consider 's the most hideous . " more than ME ?! THAT DERPFACE ?!! " he shouted out . His eyes burning with wrath .
Getting up all of the sudden , he opened the door frightfully , startling the two discussing people outside .
they both looked at him in surprised .
" when's the rehearsal ?! " he asked . Demanding for an instant response .
XD
-------------------------------------
Other part of the house.
onew and key helped jonghyun to his room . While taemin was carrying jonghyun 's stuffs for him.
the moment they reached his room , he laid him comfortably on his bed . onew looked at him feeling down seeing jonghyun all weak . " jong, what were you doing that made you this sick ? Did you ate something or what ? " he asked . perturbed by jonghyun 's sudden sickness . he was excused from class and brought to the clinic during his last period . Worrying all of them .
* too much what else . * key Retorted in his thoughts while getting some extra blankets for jonghyun .
ok. Probably not all of them .
jonghyun shook his head in response to onew 's questions . onew sighed and turned to key . " I'm gonna call our family doctor k ? " he didn't wait for an answer and went out . jonghyun feeling all heavy , got up into a siting position . taemin sat close to him . " hyung .... Will you be alright ?? " he asked sweetly . jonghyun couldn't help but smile hearing taemin . he gave him a nod .
key wanted to roll over seeing jonghyun becoming mute all of the sudden .
jonghyun grimace in discomfort and acted like puking . taemin walked to the comfort room in an instant and grabbed a bucket , offering it to jonghyun . he leaned over trying to throw nothing out .
key sneered seeing taemin cocking his head on one side , frowning over the empty bucket . " il go get you a glass of water hyung ! " he hopped down and stormed out of the room leaving key and jonghyun.
key fixed jonghyun's pillows while the sick one was just laying there . " key ?? " jonghyun called .
" What. " key said in a flat tone .
" I wanted to tell you this so badly . " jonghyun said in a groggy voice .
" What. " key responded bluntly .
" Thank you . " he said .
" WHAT ?!" key shrieked at the words .
jonghyun rest his head over his hand while looking up at the ceiling filled with posters of y beach ladies in swim suits . He kept gazing up like it were stars . " remember the day when were first introduced as cousins ? " he asked , digging into his deep memories .
" aghhhhhhhh .. Yeah ?? you asked me how many women I already slept with . " key answered . Cringing at the memory .
" and I was only 6 years old then jonghyun . " key added with a frown .
jonghyun laughed remembering it clearly . "Aghh childhood memories . thank you kibum , for always being there .. I know we bicker a lot and I annoy you a lot . but I just wanna show you how much I love you . you know .. And ------
* okey now where is this stinking conversation exactly going ???* key impatiently thought .
To his shocked , jonghyun hugged his waist like a little boy . " before I close my eyes ...........and before I fall to nothingness .............. I want to take this last opportunity to hug you this tight and thank you over and over again . I will miss you and your excellent cooking and even your irritating nagging mouth as early as 3am and -------------
Key raised his hand and slapped jonghyun straight to his face so hard and without hesitation . Jonghyun almost went rolling down the Stairs . " Jonghyun , your having A FEVER . YOUR NOT DYING OF CANCER YOU RETARDED IDIOT ! ." he yelled loudly with how jonghyun was talking to him about death and last words like a dying psycho.
jonghyun , who really fell off the bed stood up caressing his redded face . " but key , we don't know what will happen the moment il close my eyes tonight . What if il stop breathing ... ?? and -- il die in great despair kibumie .. ;( My soul wont rest in peace . il watched all of you from above and will feel sulky that I didnt even got the chance to say ---------
" OH .MY . GOD " key mumbled crazily . he wanted to get a shovel and dig jonhyun's grave for him alright ! .he pushed jonghyun on his bed and almost choking him with his blanket . " YAAAA QUIT being all overreacting . your fever is not even that high ! !! who could die of 37.8 deg Celsius you delusional jerk ! ??? . " he badly wanted to throw jonghyun out of the house .
like right now .
jonghyun held key's wrist with hurt eyes . " but kibumie-ah --------- he whined .
" shut your mouth or il sew that together ! . Now rest and stop talking nonsense for once jonghyun ! " he chided at the sniffling jonghyun . " but kibumie-ah -------- .
key grabbed a red buzzer . " now , press this when you need anything NECESSARY . And its better be necessary or else i will literally KILL YOU and you will surely die in despair . GOT IT ??" he turned his back exasperatedly and slammed the door forcefully . Still hearing jonghyun's whining .
" kibumie-ah~~~~~~~
T_T
------------------------------------
key quivered outside on how jonghyun is just beyond normal almost every freaking moment . onew came with a basin of cold water and a towel . " what's wrong ? Is jonghyun alright ? " he asked seeing him with weird facial expressions constantly changing .
" his dying hyung and we better call the funeral fast . " he informed normally before walking out and decided to take a cold bath to calm his hot head down .XD
" WHAT ?! " onew yelled , dropping the basin after hearing about dying . XD
-------------------------------------
After hours ..
Onew , key , Mir , myungsoo and minhae were busy setting up their barbecue party . onew and myungsoo were both busy chopping some meats , key was preparing some chickens with minhae . Mir and taemin were both clearing all the mess at the backyard where they will be gathering later on . jonghyun was still * sick * and resting upstairs , while eun ah was not around at the moment .
onew nudged myungsoo who was busy chopping meats . " so you'll be doing the best role in the upcoming theatre play myungie! I heard you three arguing earlier . " he grabbed some more meat and gave some to myungsoo .
Myungsoo baffled at the thought Of him playing . " yeah.. since they couldn't stop whining at me . " he responded while chopping calmly .
onew giggled beside . " Aghh .. Your so considerate myungie ! don't worry , hyung will watch all your rehearsals ! Il even record it for precious memories ! ." he enthusiastically said while giving myungsoo a supportive smile.
" what ? . " myungsoo almost chopped his own finger just by imagining onew watching his every move . He'll probably form a band to cheer him while rehearsals are going on . " errrrrr .. You don't have to do that . " he discouraged hoping the other will listen . onew wrapped his arm around myungsoo 's neck laughing . " aneyyyaaaa .. I really should . hehehe . " he loosen his hold . myungsoo just scratched his head awkwardly .
Key came inspecting the two . " hey!! What kind of chopping are you two doing ?? . " he complained while looking at their work . Onew and myungsoo stared at the meats looking like . " how on earth are we going to grill meats as small as seeds ?? . " key, pointing at the meat tidbits , his brows furrowed . " do it properly you guys ! " he said while clapping his hands like a diva and walked away still nagging .
onew and myungsoo bowed 20 degrees . " sorry sorry key .. " they heaved . Onew decided to get some more meats and chop it properly this time .
myungsoo leaned over the table as he watched key and minhae over the opposite counter . key was busy making sauce while minhae was busy preparing the chickens . taemin came and joined the two .
key elbowed minhae to try the sauce he made . the latter tried it with taemin . myungsoo smirked and propped his elbow over the table with his palm under his chin .
minhae and taemin almost puke over the beautiful dressed chicken . " wae .. Wae .. Wae ???? " key asked , shocked at their disgusted face because of the sauce he considers magnificent . " hyung , what did you used ?? " taemin said gurgling at the sink . key tried it and had the same hideous reaction . " hey ! Who placed too much salt ?! " he complained .
minhae shrugged her shoulder . " we didn't . " key's feline eyes burn seeing Mir laughing behind the refrigerator . " yaaaah bang chul Yong!! " he yelled in annoyance while seeing a pot flying straight to Mir . The mischievous kid ran out laughing his famous hyena laugh .
" AND I THOUGHT this house will be normal without a erted dinosaur walking around !! . " key wailed that somehow made taemin and minhae laugh .
myungsoo couldn't help but laugh along until his vision caught minhae laughing so freely . his laugh trailed off into a broad smile . The sound of her giggles left him muted for seconds .
" beautiful huh ?? "
myungsoo was shocked seeing onew beside him with that teasing eyes of his . " I wasn't looking at her ! I was -- looking at -- the- well dressed -- chicken. ! " myungsoo stuttered while pointing at the chicken .
Onew gave him a pretentious shock . " her ?? I was also thinking about that yummy well dressed chicken. wait .. So you were looking at minhae . " he teased , giving the now blushing myungsoo some endless brow wiggles and a playful smile .
myungsoo grabbed the meat and chopped it aimlessly . " I. WASNT . " he cleared , pretending to be all too busy . But onew knew better .
onew pinched myungsoo 's cheeks . " aigoooooo.. Our myungsoo is blushing !! . " he proclaimed while squishing myungsoo 's redded cheeks .
" I DON'T BLUSH ." the younger denied strongly . Trying to shove onew's hand away from his now aching cheek . " can we just finish this ?? " he impatiently said making onew nod before myungsoo lose it . XD
after chopping , the duo went at the backyard and decided to set up the griller. hand in hand , they placed some charcoal and started to make flames .
-------------------------------------
INside
The door bell rang . Since key was busy and the two maknae's decided to help their hyungs in setting up outside , minhae volunteered to answer the door . She came out in a hurry . " who is it ?? "
" it's me . Siwan . "
Minhae smiled Widely and fixed her clothes and tuck some locks of raven hair behind her ear . She deep breath before opening the door .
" Siwan ! I'm so glad you made it . Key's in the kitchen . Come inside . " she welcomed him warmly .
Siwan gave her his signature charming smile . " I'm glad seeing you here ." he walked down the hall with minhae .
* ommmmooooo.. His glad seeing me !! * Minhae fan-girl secretly beside Siwan until they reached the kitchen where key was almost finished with the foods he prepared .
" aghh ! Finally your here !! just give me a moment and im almost done . You guys go ahead . " he motioned the two to walked straight to their backyard .
" are you sure ?? il help you with you . " Siwan offered and reluctant to leave the one alone doing all the food preparations .
key stamped his foot and pretended to be mad . " no ! Go ! " he said shooo-ing the two away .
* his not only charming and nice . His almost helpful . haaaaaay............ * minhae sighed deeply appreciating Siwan .
-------------------------------------
Backyard .
" what's that guy doing here ??? " myungsoo scoffed upon seeing Siwan magically appeared in their house .
Onew looked up only to greeted politely by Siwan .
" hi hyung ! thank you so much for having me here . "
Onew giggled with a nod . " naaaaaaaa don't mention it . Have a sit . " Onew pointed at the nearest chair . But Siwan shook his head not in a disrespectful manner .
He gave Mir and Taemin a glance . " il help the two with the bonfire . " he volunteered .
" no need ! Your a guest here . " Onew explained calmly . Siwan let out a softly giggle . " no hyung . It's okey . " he insisted . Siwan walked towards the two maknae's who had a hard time setting up the bonfire .
" mind If I help ?? " he offered . The two looked up with smearing eyes like they just saw their savior . they gladly accepted and worked on their bonfire fast before key finds out it still isn't set up .
Myungsoo glared at Onew intensively . " you invited him . " there. he just answered his own question .
Onew starred at him innocently . " yeah .. me and key . Myungie , he's kibum's friend and a friend is always welcome in our home . " he said . myungsoo wanted to say more but decided to kept quite and just get this night over with .
-------------------------------------
over the team bonfire .
minhae brought some extra wood . He gave it to Mir and crouched beside Siwan , who was trying hard to set the woods on fire as safe as possible .
Minhae steals quick glances at Siwan while the other was busy . * aghh jinja! he's not just charming , kind , nice and helpful . he's also reliable . * her inner self is now screaming so loud that shes starting to really like Siwan .
Siwan, in the midst of his hand full hands . managed to smile shly when he noticed how minhae kept starring at him . " I'm burning . " he joked . not daring to look at her .
minhae 's eyes widen . she wanted to burn herself from getting caught . " I- was -- not starring ! I was -- just thinking of something that ----- hahahaha! ." she laughed awkwardly and decided to just ran and lock herself upstairs until siwan's hand caught her .
" hey , I was just joking . " he giggled softly in a non-insulting tone . " don't worry . I don't really feel annoyed being starred at . I stare at you for quite sometime so .. I think A little pay back is not that bad . . . . . right ?" he smiled warmly with his gentle eyes looking at her making her feel at ease rather than all awkward or shy .
Minhae was actually hyperventilating but tried hard to control herself . * did he just said he stares at me ?! sometimes ?!! . *
Siwan noticed how minhae seemed to be out of the world . She was speechless . " why don't you just sit there , we got this under control . Right boys ? " he asked the two maknae who were now worshipping the bonfire , happy that they gave some contribution to make it . " yea yeah bro . " Mir said while still placing more wood to ignite it more
" hyung stop ! We might burn the entire house down . " taemin said , putting some sense in Mir who apparently got possessed by some evil spirit . Siwan stopped Mir on time .
minhae walked to her seat and sat there . Still looking at Siwan . " haaaaaaaaaaayyyy ...... " she giggled while happily looking at him freely without making him feel irritated in case she gets caught .
And she was .
but Siwan just smiled back at her feeling happy seeing her looking . he returned his attention to the other two arguing because of the bonfire , still that smile plastered across his face .

at the grill team .
Myungsoo's face darkened how the Siwan and minhae interact . he wasn't blind not to figure out the two were * flirting * with each other . They way minhae 's face lighten because of Siwan was making the environment more HEATED .
Onew was just whistling while starting to grill some meat . " Myungie here's the --------- he paused noticing how Myungsoo stares at something intensively . he followed his gaze and saw minhae and Siwan , now talking besides each other sweetly . Onew shrugged off laughing like an evil baby .
" is our Myungsoo jealous?? " he thought to himself . Still happily seeing Myungsoo turning red with jealousy .
" is everything alright Myungsoo ? " he asked casually .
Myungsoo gripped his hold on something . " YEAH. " he grumbled . Though his expression was saying otherwise .
Onew planned to more , but stopped when his sense of smell caught something .... Alarming..
" hey, is something burning ? " he sniffed around .
" the bonfire ? " Myungsoo answered . His eyes still at close watched at minhae and Siwan .
Onew closed his eyes , trying to figure out what it was . " no . It smells like raw flesh burning and ---------------- OH MY CHICKEN ! YAH Myungie ! My arm is on FIRE!!!! " he screamed loudly like a lady upon seeing his sleeve burning , some were slowly running down his pants.
Myungsoo 's small eyes got bigger realizing how tight he was holding the lighter .
Under Onew 's arm .
" AGHHHHHHHHHH!! " Onew shouted shocking the oblivious people Around .
Myungsoo grabbed a bucket of water while Onew came down rolling on the ground . " the fire won't stop !! " Onew squealed like a dying chicken that prompt Myungsoo to threw the entire water .
" WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?! " key asked so loud that even woke jonghyun upstairs .
the rest of the family circled around Onew . who was nearly drowned by the bucket of water . " IM FINE IM FINE . " he said still with pride . Myungsoo helped him up .
Mir helped the two . " hahaha LOL HYUNG ! were you two playing ?! hahahaha . " he yelled .
Key looked at them disappointed . " we're you two out of your minds ?! GOSH ! . go upstairs ,change and clean that NOW ! . " he ordered . pointed at the stairs inside the house .
" hyung, are you okey ? " key checked his arm .
" de-- deh . " Onew answered with a wince of pain and sorrow .
Myungsoo and mir assisted Onew inside . key watched the three . He muffled his hair crazily how their griller looked like . " AGHH I JUST CAN'T RELY ON ANYONE AROUND HERE ! " he sighed in yelling frustration .
Siwan and Taemin volunteered on helping while minhae ran after Onew , Myungsoo and mir .
" guys let me help . " she said while trying to help Onew anyway she can .
Myungsoo looked at her . " no need . Just stay here and continue flirting with Siwan . " he scoffed with a cocky smirk .
minhae was taken aback . even Mir was speechless for a second . Onew who was busy grimacing managed to get back to his big brother mode . " Myungsoo ! ." he chided .
" What . . . . . . . . flirting are you saying ??? . " she asked Obliviously . " I wasn't flirting ! . " she said in distraught .
Myungsoo sneered . " really ? Even a 6 years old would know you were . " he said skeptically and dragged Onew away leaving minhae still stunned .
" it's okey noona . We got this . " Mir said in a miraculously normal tone before turning his back .
minhae clenched her hands into a ball . First time someone accused her of flirting and said it like she was some .
one thing was clear though .
Myungsoo's back being the he was months ago!
-------------------------------------
all of them gathered around , it was almost December and the weather is getting more and more cold as winter sets in .
key decided to grill all the meats and kitchen while Onew , with his left arm redden is sitting beside Myungsoo . mir is noisy and waiting dearly for the food . Specially Onew who's been starring so hard at the chicken every now and then . Taemin was serving bowl of rice and drinks with Siwan . minhae handed eating utensil to everyone , expect Myungsoo .
" hey . " Myungsoo complained his hand demanding for chopsticks .
minhae ignored him and sat one seat away from him .
"oh ! So she have the guts to give me silent treatment huh ??" Myungsoo mumbled , starring at her while she ignored him all the way .
minhae is mentally laughing how Myungsoo looked insulted somehow . And she doesn't need to turn at her side to know how Myungsoo cringed in annoyance on how she treated him like air . " i'll never talk to you . " minhae mumbled softly .
" you were saying something ?? " Siwan came holding two plates . Minhae deliberately chuckled . " nothing , hey key is really good with food preparations . and I helped him make kimchi and kimbap. " she Smug . She unawarely pouted her lips at him .
Myungsoo raised a brow as he was tapping his foot loudly while quivering at minhae . Seeing her showing off her natural aeygo " she even pouted her lips at him like that . ! " he murmured , gazing at her . His irritation was getting higher and higher he wanted to shake her chair until her senses comes back .
Onew sniggered hearing all Myungsoo 's murmurs . He may not be aware of it but he can clearly hear him .
" guys ! I bought some soju, who want's one ?! " Onew said and standing up to get the beverages.
Mir hyperactively raised his hand . " me hyung me !! I want one !! . " he shout very hopeful . without his sister around , it's his time to shine .
Onew nodded in agreement which made Mir more happy . Onew never allowed mir , specially taemin to drink even a drop of drink with low alcohol content . since they were still considered " MINORS " .
Siwan sat in between Myungsoo and minhae . " aghh jinja-yo? I should try it then . " he took some kimchi and kimbap roll and muffled in all . minhae waited with eyes glittering .
Siwan chewed it slowly to really determine its taste . " hmmmm.. it's ......good . Really good . " Siwan nodded cheerly and took a glass of water to flash all down . minhae observed him . " jeongmal- yo?? " she said a little bit unconvinced with siwan's comment .
Myungsoo's eyebrows puckered and decided to try it himself . he worked his chopstick and took some kimchi and grabbed some kimbap and ---
Myungsoo immediately ran inside their house and straight to their sink . He vomit it all entirely . he gurgled some water and " aghh jinja!! What In the world did she made out of this ?! " he complained . his eyes magnified and saw some stones probably from the kimbap . " and did she used some dead veggies with this ?! aghhhhhh ..... " he wiped his mouth and after some drinking almost a gallon of water , he went back to the crowd and even wanted to throw a rock
At Siwan when he heard him said . "
It's yummy really . " with a smile .
" what an innocent lying face . " he Grunted on his way back to his seat beside the lying guy .
Siwan deliberately pulled Myungsoo down . " aghhh Myungsoo ! I guess we'll be seeing each other a lot starting tomorrow . " he wrapped his left arm around Myungsoo 'a neck .
what ??
" huh??" Myungsoo looked at him all puzzled . He caught minhae sniggering in her seat .
Siwan nod , figuring Myungsoo . " you haven't read the script I see . and Chanchan just asked me hours ago . " he hinted .
Myungsoo thought under Siwan 's grip .
" script . . . . . ??? But didn't I just agreed on that stupid role so this -----
" we're best friend's MAN !! " he announced disrupting Myungsoo 's inner thoughts . " in the theatre play I mean . " he added .
" WHAAAATTTT ?! " he screamed with hideous expression . pushing Siwan off him .
minhae laughed evilly .
" yeah Myungsoo . Let's work together to make it successful . " he poured him encouraging words that probably drowned Myungsoo million times .
" this can't be ................................. Then WHAT'S THE POINT OF ALL OF THIS when I'll still be able to see this TROLL during rehearsals ! . " Myungsoo was deep in his thoughts . While minhae secretly rejoiced . she knew he despises Siwan for some unknown reason . and the moment she heard Chanchan about Siwan getting the role . she already imagined myngsoo's exact Reaction . Which is 100% congruent with what he is showing now . XD " oww how I love seeing Myungsoo like this . " she applaud .
Onew came with some soju bottles . he handed each one of them except Taemin .
Mir laughed happily finally receiving his soju bottle and " EHHHHH ?!! hyung ! Why is my bottle half- EMPTY ?! " he voiced out his displeasure . raising his bottle high .
everyone started laughing their head off . Except Myungsoo who was busy thinking how he could get rid off Siwan .
" Il let you drink a bottle full when you reached 21 . Deh??" Onew said in a more apologetic tone .
Mir faced dropped . " what kind of drinking is this ?! " he booed at it and gave it to Taemin . key immediately grabbed the bottle away .
" you people are pure evil ! " he scolded . he sat on his chair beside Taemin and placed all the grilled foods down for everyone to reach .
his stomach grumbled with hunger . he was about to take one full meat when ---
BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ !!
all of them glanced upstairs . " Mir , go get jonghyun . " Onew asked nicely when still enjoying his chicken .
" no no no no way ! I swear I'm not going up there again . " he strongly disobeyed gardening curiosity .
" why Mir ?? " they all asked .
Mir placed his plate down . " first he asked me to scratch his cheek , second he asked me to help him pee . And how am I gonna help him with that ! its not like I control his bladder dude ! and i already did that opening Faucet thingy and it didn't work . next he asked me rap and dance in front of him . then , he asked me to assist him in showering . And his not even disabled , paralyzed or anything . He also begged me to watched all the stars with him !! Plus ! he buzzes 3 times every 2 minutes ! " he took the half empty soju and drunk it all after feeling breathless with his long speech .
" what is wrong with jonghyun hyung?? " Taemin sulked . key rolled his eyes .
" god knows what kind of lunatic parasite infected that brain of his . " he laughed his diva-ish laugh .
Taemin stood up with sympathetic eyes . " il go check on hyung and ------
" NO ! sit back and finish your food . " key stood up without even tasting his own cooking or even a taste of his sauce .
Taemin sat back and watches as his brother trudged his way upstairs .
* jonghyun 's dead . * all of them thought .
-------------------------------------
UPSTAIRS * jonghyun 's room *
key opened the door and slammed it close . Jonghyun was all weak looking while the buzzer .
" YAAA . This better be worth my time and effort ! . " he screamed .
jonghyun pouted and looked at him all hurt . " am I not worthy enough of your time key?? " he teary eyed at him with his blanket Swaddled around him .
Key face palmed . " somebody kill this human plsssssss ! " he begged to no one .
" YOU ARE ! happy ?! Now what do u you need ? this better be important . Ask me to do stupid unnecessary un- urgent things , and this will be the last night you'll ever smell life ! . " he threatened .
jonghyun pulled him close . " this is important . " with serious tone .
with jonghyun's serious tone and sincere eyes , he looked at him like he badly needed someone for help that key almost cried in amazement .
" what is it then ? "
" this is very important key . "
" tell me so I can do something about it . " key asked a bit worried hinting some in depth turmoil .
" your the only person that I know will help me on this . I am comfortable with you and I know I can trust you . " he said with Doe eyes and continue to fidget On his bed .
" JUST SAY IT JONGHYUN ! " key's stomach was getting more impatient that he could eat jonghyun up if he keeps on prolonging his agony .
" kibumie~~~~ ?? "
" WHAT . "
" Can you -----------------
" can I ?? " key , prompting him to say everything with hand gestures .
" can you ....
" yeah? "
.. Give me ..
" give you what ? "
.. Some ..
" go on . " prompting jonghyun to finish .
LOVE. . ? "
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
key closed his eyes , he could feel burning smoke coming out of this ears . " WHAT KIND OF DRAMATIC PLAY ARE YOU PLAYING JONGHYUN?!! " he strangled at him and choked him .
LITERALLY .
" yah------- why are you ! "
Jonghyun coughed and pushed key off . He sat up grasping for air .
" say one more ing word and I'm gonna do it for real! " he chided loudly .
jonghyun started crying . " there you are again ! " he sniffed turning his back on key .
" WHAT ? Me ?! What did I do ?! "
" YES YOU! . . .key ! I NEED LOVE BECAUSE ------ I feel so ----------
- ALONE . " he confessed .
key gaped at his confession .
" jonghyun , your living with a chicken maniac , a grumpy dead sleeping flower boy , a gangster tomboy , a ADHD lunatic teenager , an adorable aeygo prince and A fashionista , handsome , hot and awesome me . Plus! A genius chicken chicki . I don't get how you still feel lonely with all of us or maybe we have different definitions of ALONE . " he said forcing not to laugh because jonghyun looked like a broken cd .
" did some sane chick dumped you ? Or are you on drugs?! " key asked in wonder .
he shook his head . "
No one can resist my charisma key . and drugs don't really work on me ." he said standing up and stamped his foot .
"okey ? Apparently , even in his dramatic mode he never forget to boast about himself . What a guy . " key thought disappointedly.
" You don't understand ! " he hissed shaking key nonstop.
" yeah , I honestly don't . " key answered without hesitation and pushing him away because he feels nauseated already .
" all of you guys never loved me !! ever ! Specially you ! you love leaving me all alone . " he pointed out . His tears was spilling everywhere . "
" GOD whAt is happening with this guy?! " he murmured .
"and I know , If ever you found me and Mir at the edge of a cliff , you'll
Chose Mir over me ! " jonghyun was crying hard .
Key nodded . " yeah .. Yeah your right ." he nodded unconsciously . XD
" see ...
you don't love me . ;( , you don't support me , you don't appreciate me , you don't hug me back when I hug you , you don't ask If I'm okey or how's my day like you normally do with the rest , you don't take care of me when I'm SICK! " he sulked nonstop .
key bang his head 7 times on the wall . " this is the reason why you feel like dying ?!!! because I don't appreciate you ?? " he screeched .
" you don't love me . I'm breaking inside key .. ;( " he said weeping .
" YAHH !!! i iron your clothes , I cook meals for you ! I cross-dressed and pretended to be your girlfriend when you were haunted by your obsessed admirers! I even hand washed your undies one time because our washing machine broke down ! what do you call all of that then ?! " jonghyun was getting on his last nerves with this pointless conversation . He kept wondering whether jonghyun caught some wild diseases or worst , some undetermined communicable disease . First it was mir then now jonghyun ! Yes yes .. It can also be it .
" you keep on ignoring me ! You love taemin more than me ! " he said sounding like a jealous girlfriend .
key is now choking . " jonghyun, he's my brother . Of course I love him more , you obnoxious dinosaur! " he was at the tip of his patience .. Key was now looking for a suitable weapon to shut jonghyun up .
jonghyun rolled down at the opposite side of the bed and curled into fetal position side facing the cold carpeted floor . " you don't love me . you don't . " he kept on repeating the same words over .
key walked around looking at him dumbfounded . " he totally lost it . " he brushed his face with his palm and sat down beside jonghyun .
he glanced at him still loving the floor . He let out a long labored sighed . " I LOVE YOU ! There , happy ?! " he finally said it .
jonghyun slowly sat up beside key . His face lighten like the morning sunshine . " really ?? . "
" yeah so stop being like a fixated boy and rest . " key said in between helping jonghyun up and getting him back to bed .
" do you really mean it ? "
" seriously jong, do I have to repeat it over and over?? " key sarcastically said .
Jonghyun pouted . " of course , If you love someone , you'll always be willing to say those words no matter how many times . "
" oh my god your chezzieness got worst . " key quivered .
" please ...... " jonghyun pouted at him .
Key gritted his teeth . * can't believe I'm repeating this because of this jerk . * " I love you . " jonghyun giggled in pure happiness . Key swaddled him with thick blankets and ..
" hey , I love all of you so stop being overly delusional in there . " key said while knocking at jonghyun 's head .
" key , Will you sleep beside me tonight ? " he asked hopeful .
key raised all his brows . " don't push your luck too much If you want to live longer. " he warned him and it will be the last time .
but jonghyun just stared at him and suddenly whined . " what ?? Don't tell me you want me to read a bedtime story until you fall asleep ! "
" you'll do that kibumie??? " he shined .
" death , you want ??! " he Shouted . " now , take these pills . It will help you feel better . " he assisted him up and offered 3 pills . Jonghyun took them and gulped the entire bottle of water . he leaned down and closed his eyes .
-------------------------------------
key Let out a euphoric sighed the moment he stepped out . " UGHHHHHH I was really really tempted to kill him ! . If it wasn't for my entire clan I'd probably pulled a trigger at him bullseye on the very first day he asked me how many women i already slept with when I was still 6 !! . " he puffed his cheeks and was about to walked down , when he suddenly received a call .
------------------------------------
backyard .
Minhae and Siwan Was chatting happily while there were gloomy clouds on top of Myungsoo's head .
Taemin looked at Onew who was murdering the chicken thigh without mercy . " jinki hyung, aren't you guilty ?? " he asked . making Onew stop with her " huh?" face .
" of what tae ? "
" yeah hyung ! Aren't you embarrassed with yourself ? and a lot guilty , like some traitor ?" Mir chimed in .
" whoe whoe! what are you two talking about ? " he asked with hands raised . even asking the rest of the people around we're puzzled.
Mir looked down feeling all sorry for his hyung . " hyung , there you are , sitting and happily eating your favorite chicken while your beloved pet chicki is looking at you eating her own kind . You raised her up when she was still an egg , you took care of her and she looks up to you like a father figure . And now your this in front of her ?? Don't you feel bad even a little hyung ?? how did you become this evil ? " Mir said , sounded so depressed at the thought while pointing at chicki who was watching Onew the whole time
.
Taemin nod looking at chicki . " her chicken heart is probably breaking Right now hyung . ;(
.. I can't believe you " he said with bittersweet .
Onew dropped the chicken he wasnt finish eating and kneeled down . " YOU GUYS ! How could you let her see me like this ! I already brief you to alarm me if she's near by so that -----" he stopped when chicki squeak away , running straight inside
The house .
Onew started wiping in regret. he stared at his hands filled with chicken oil . With trembling knees , he ran after chicki. " chicki mianhe! Mianhe! Mianhe!! " they rest of them were left bewildered with Onew .
the door bell rang .
" anyone expecting someone?? " Siwan said hearing the doorbell .
Myungsoo grin . " I am . " he walked down and answered the gate .
Minhae watched Myungsoo . " who could be his visitor ? " she thought . " aghh , it's probably hyunseung . " she guessed .
-- outside
Myungsoo opened and the gate and faced his visitor with wide smile. " hey am I late ? "
Myungsoo shook his head . " just in time . "
-------------------------------------
"hi guys . "
All of them stopped eating and glanced at Myungsoo 's visitor .
" UEE NOONA !! " Mir and Taemin ran to her side and cuddle her with love .
minhae stood up and jaw dropping . " u-UEE ! " she said shocked seeing their former soccer captain .
UEE made her way towards minhae and hugged her tightly . " how are you minhae ! I missed you . " she cupped minhae 's cheeks and shake it left to right .
" I'm good ! Are you -------- " minhae looked behind her expecting a blonde girl .
UEE noticed minhae 's probably looking for . " bekah's not with me . Hehe no worries . " she muffled her hair and starred at the handsome guy beside her .
Siwan waved his hand . " annyeong, I'm Siwan . so your the former soccer captain everybody 's been missing . " he giggled in his cute eye smile .
UEE nodded nonstop and kept looking at him with wide mouth . " and your that Siwan guy everybody 's talking about . the new flower boy . they're right , you are handsome . " UEE said squealing. Even Myungsoo couldn't believe she was fan girling.
Siwan scratched the back of his head awkwardly with a shy smile . " ahhh-- I'm not a flower boy . " he softly said with embarrassment .
UEE made the first move and shake hands with Siwan . " I'm so pleased to finally meet you . " with her doe eyes smearing .
Myungsoo stopped their handshake . " okey . so you know each other now , let's move on . " he pushed UEE to sit beside him .
" noona ! why are you here ? " Mir asked .
" will you stay for good noona ? " Taemin asked .
" Aneya .. I'm just here for a visit . Il fly back soon . I really miss all of you , it's been lonely being in a foreign country . " she confessed . all of them nodded in sympathy .
" UEE ?? " Onew was surprised seeing UEE sitting beside Myungsoo .
" oppa annyeong !! " she waved sending chilling butterflies at Onew . Onew hugged her and sat back smilling .
" oppa where 's chicki ?? " minhae asked .
Onew looked down , with thunder storms above him . " she's ignoring me . " he cried softly , Mir gave him warm pats to comfort him .
UEE looked at him with oblivious expression .
" OH GOSH UEE ?!!
The ultimate fanboy , key . Walked in a flash and hugged UEE tightly while hopping in place . " your here ! You should have texted me so I'd prepare more ! . " UEE looked around with all the good smelling foods . " I think your more than prepared key . " she giggled .
" Myungsoo knew I was here . We were together this morning . Didn't he tell you ? " she sat back , all pissed off eyes at Myungsoo .
" I WAS BUSY OKEY ?! " Myungsoo glared .
Minhae glanced at Myungsoo . " was it the reason why i couldn't reach Myungsoo earlier this morning ? Because they were together . " minhae recalled how many times she tried calling him , but all her calls were cancelled .
well of course . It's UEE .
after minutes of laughable bonding , footsteps came and stopped in the backyard .
" WHO INVITED HER?! "
They all froze seeing the new comer with arms crossed , her sleeves rolled up , her foot tapping and her angry expression that Onew even felt scared at first glance .
Mir hugged his sister to pacify her . " aghh noona , come and sit with me ! " he dragged her down with him . But eun ah kept her murderous stare at UEE .
" she's a friend eun nah ! and Myungsoo invited her . WAE ?! " key wailed all out .
UEE was uncomfortable and felt the need to leave before things get messy . " no don't leave . It's okey . " Myungsoo reassured her .
minhae glanced at Myungsoo 's Hand stopping UEE from leaving .
Myungsoo caught that glance and immediately withdraw his grip at UEE . he didn't know why but he felt the need to do so . UEE noticed Myungsoo 's Reaction and followed his gaze . only to see minhae talking cheerfully with Siwan .
Myungsoo looked away and just focused his attention on eating .
" and where were you young lady ?? " Onew chided with high authority getting back to being the strict cousin .
Now eun ah felt scared . " I was on a date . heheheheheh with Minho . " she shly admitted .
Mir laughed . " hhaha good thing jonghyun hyung is sick , or else . -----
" he's not sick mir , he's dying . " key cut off .
eun ah cling at key . " REALLY ??? " she sounded hopeful and happy rather than grieving . XD
" yeah , and guys ! halmuhee called and she's really begging us to visit ! hey Siwan and UEE can come ! " he invited them with alluring eyes to get them going .
Myungsoo gritted his teeth . " don't you think we'll be too crowded ? " he scoffed . referring to the innocent Siwan .
" I AGREE ! " eun ah said , sharing the same expression as Myungsoo and but looking at UEE .
Mir rolled his eyes. " I think halmuhee 's house have plenty of space for all of us . Hey can I invite nana too ? " he asked with failed aeygo .
" WHY DON'T WE JUST BRING THE ENTIRE Neighborhood .?? " Myungsoo said mocking .
" hey that's a brilliant idea ! " Onew snapped gardening some " no" from most of them .
they spent hours of talking and sharing hilarious jokes . After their fun time , the visitors decided to go home early to pack stuffs for their visit to the Kim's mansion . Siwan volunteered on driving UEE home since they'l be going on the same route .
" il see you tomorrow then . " Siwan said , popping his head out of his car while UEE was quietly siting beside him .
minhae felt like flying every time Siwan smiles at her . " ye-yeah . " she waved .
Siwan drove the car while minhae was left waving with enthusiasm . " annyeong !! " she shouted .
As soon as she was alone , she smiled broadly when she received a text from Siwan .
Siwan :
I had fun tonight . :)
minhae jumped around squealing . only 4 simple words and she feels so high already . she's was like that for 10 minutes , until someone gave her a flick on her forehead .
" ACKKKK!! " she winced in agony . Her head boiled seeing Myungsoo .
" YAAA stop worshipping that alien and clean some trash inside . ! " he ordered .
minhae wanted to shout at him, punch him and pushed his off a Pitt . but realized that she wasn't on speaking terms with him . she ignored him and marched back in .
Myungsoo observed her every move and got a little bit angry for the cold treatment . " what the ---------YAAAAAAA !! " he screamed .
-------------------------------------
12:30 am
everybody was settled inside their rooms and resting . Myungsoo was still wide awake in his room . he wanted to go out for awhile so he picked his car keys and walked down the hall quietly . he stopped in front of eun ah 'a room .
he shakes his head and continued on his way down .
he drove his car fast and went to the place he usually go .
SOCCER FIELD .
he rolled some soccer balls at the field and started kicking each one of it to the net in full speed .
it didn't shocked him when he noticed a ball rolling straight to the net . and it didn't came from him .
" what are you doing here ?? " Myungsoo asked . Not turning his head to see who it was .
" I should be the one asking you that . I have rules Myungsoo . when will you ever listen ? " he sounded upset . he stood beside Myungsoo and kicked some balls .
Myungsoo deep breath before kicking another ball . " I just need some fresh air . " he said .
" what's the problem? " he asked .
" nothing . " Myungsoo said and walked away , sitting on the grass .
" I always know where to find you when your troubled . is it school ? Allowance ? Or a girl ? "
Myungsoo rolled his eyes hearing the last word . " what do you want to hear from me Onew ? "
Onew sat beside him and lay down . " what you wanted to hear from yourself . "
" what ?? Look . I'm fine so you don't need to go on melodramatic mode with me like Mir and jonghyun . " Myungsoo hurled .
" your Jealous . " Onew sang those words sweetly .
" WHAT ?!! Me?! and who would I be jealous with ?! " Myungsoo breath fire while pointing at himself .
" Siwan . " Onew smiled happily .
Myungsoo almost rolled over . " ME ?! Jealous of that guy ?? HAHAHAAHAH -- " he sarcastically said .
Onew just pouted at him . " yes you are , because he's good with minhae and they're perfect together . " he shouted .
Myungsoo paused hearing minhae 's name and thinking back how the two kept playing with each other in front of him . " I'm not jealous . am not ------- never . It's -- not possible . no . " he stuttered . but his heart was feeling otherwise .
Onew wrapped his arms around Myungsoo . " aghhh.. talk to me when you finally figured it out . " he winked at him .
-------------------------------------
HOME .
they drove home and was surprised seeing minhae by the fireplace . Her back was facing them and her attention was at the warm fireplace .
Onew gave him a pat . " you go buddy . " he whispered .
minhae finally noticed she wasn't alone . " oppa .. Where we're you ? " she asked worriedly .
" just out having some heart to heart talk with my Myungie . " Onew kissed Myungsoo 's cheeks that earned him glares from Myungsoo . " il be up in my room . " he said and ran upstairs leaving the two alone .
minhae sat back on her seat while Myungsoo stood there frowning . he tiptoed and sat next to her .
" up to when will you keep this up ? " he asked minhae .
silence ...
Myungsoo nudged her . " yaa.. " it wasn't a shout , it sounded more like whining . he didn't know why but the thought of being ignored wasn't fun for him . AT ALL .
" till your death . " minhae finally talked but refused to look at him .
" really ? that would take long . are you sure you can keep that up till then?? " he asked sniggering in his seat and taking some quick peek .
" of course . " she said bluntly .
" really ?? Your already talking to me . " Myungsoo laughed making minhae blinked in realization . she grabbed the sketch pad she was holding and hit him .
Myungsoo laughed teasingly until he stopped . " we're you ---- waiting for me ? " he said . His voice sounding a little bit hopeful .
" I wasn't . " she said with a shrug of shoulders .
What ? She wasn't ??
" I was busy sketching . " minhae picked the sketch pad which was thrown on the floor .
Myungsoo's forehead formed millions of creases , he took the sketch pad with curiosity . " what were you sketching ? " he flipped the first page and bit his full lips hard seeing . " SIWAN ?!! " he yelled , the fireplace just grew hotter that it might burn the entire living room .
minhae smiled sweetly . " yeah and -------- YAHHH !! " minhae screamed seeing Myungsoo ripping the sketch into pieces and threw it into the fire .
" YOU WANNA DIE ?!! " minhae screamed while looking for a way to get the paper out . But it was too late because it turned into ashes instantly .
She turned to Myungsoo and shocked to see him in his gloomy expression . " what was that for ??! I actually worked hard on sketching it ! why do you hate Siwan Anyway ?? he's not doing anything to you . " she chided angrily at him .
" let's just stop talking if you'll be nagging about him . " Myungsoo with hostility .
minhae couldn't believe what she was hearing . " you know what ? we can't really keep a conversation going without quarreling at each other . " minhae stressed out .
Myungsoo laughed . " your right . We can't keep a normal conversation going so you should stop arguing with me . "
minhae gritted her teeth hard . " bwwwooo??! ME ?!! haha .. " she stood up . She had enough . " I'm going to sleep . " she was about to walked out when .
" Wait . . . "
Myungsoo's hand was holding hers tightly to keep her still . his warm hand felt more warmer than the fireplace . And it made her sacred .
" wha-t ? "
" would you like to drink a cold iced milk ? " he offered . his voice sounded gentle and smoothing . An unsaid message behind it sounding more like ..
"will you stay ? "
-------------------------------------
Minhae was enjoying her milk and starring at the fireplace while Myungsoo was stealing glances at her .
her dark raven hair and fair complexion looked warm and gentle . she was enjoying her milk with quick smirks that urges Myungsoo to take one glance .. And another one .. And probably another one .
" im so happy seeing UEE . " she giggled .
Myungsoo snapped out of it . " what ?? " he needed to slap himself because he was losing his normal self again .
" even thought bekah and me aren't the best of friends , UEE is kind and sweet and courageous . She's one of those dear persons I met . and I don't get why you two are not together . " she said .
Myungsoo struck her a confused look . " what are you talking about ?" minhae gave him the same reaction .
" she confessed to you right? " she said . Because she was really expecting to see them together the moment UEE confessed at the airport .
" yeah and --- wait . How did you know ? " Myungsoo asked suspiciously .
Minhae mentally punched herself while finishing her milk. " hahahaha news flies so fast . " she said .
But Myungsoo was unsatisfied with her explanation . " yeah she did . "
" and that's it ? Are n't you two suppose to be together ? " she asked that somehow shocked Myungsoo .
" WHAT ?"
" you do like her right ? " minhae , standing up slowly feeling her heavy eyelids. Myungsoo stood up immediately .
" yeah ............... As a friend . What were you people thinking of ?? " he asked annoyingly , because he heard this questions a lot of times already .
Minhae controlled her emotion and smiled at him . " we'll I think you should date her . she's really nice Myungsoo , and she'l take good care of you . " she handed him the glass and yawned . " I'm sleepy , I'm gonna go and rest . " she walked passed him and ---
Myungsoo was deaf hearing it from her .
"I do ! I do like Kim Myungsoo . "
"those words haunted me for nights . and she's suppose to be jealous of UEE . "
"actually .. "
" i am expecting her to be . but the way she said those words sounded more like she's selling me out . "
Myungsoo was drowned in his confused thoughts . " WAIT . " he called her out . He faced her and the moment he saw her , he couldn't find any words to say .
" I --- I -----
minhae smiled at him , gave him a light pat on his shoulder . " good night Myungsoo . " she turned her back on him and walked away ..
Myungsoo felt his hand weakened . He dropped the shinny empty glass he was holding and it landed on the floor with a thug.
He saw a fine zigzag line ran along the delicate glass , the first crack that would be there permanently .
like his heart breaking in a very unusual shearing Sound . .
for the very first time .

TEASER
Myungsoo walked away in heavy steps , with clenched hands and gritted teeth . he wasn't feeling a good time and he badly wanted to punch SIWAN straight into his lovely face .
"Myungsoo ! " uee shouted , she was trailing behind Myungsoo . she ran to his side and shook the hell out of him.
"what is wrong with you ??! " she asked urgently . Myungsoo was standing in front of her but his mind seemed to be somewhere else . " Myungsoo ! " she placed her hand around Myungsoo 's neck and cupping his cheek with the other to steady him .
Myungsoo closed his eyes , trying to find the precise words to describe what he was Currently feeling . But his mind was jumbled all together that --
" I DON'T KNOW. " confusion was evident in his voice .
the both of them twitched When footsteps came and stopped a few feet from them .
two crescent eyes looked at them in that position , not knowing what to think ----- or feel .
" oh, I'm sorry . " Minhae apologized and walked back .
FAST .
