It was a typical Wednesday for you. *Light bullying, hurtful words and a sprinkle of being ignore.* You thought sadly.

It’s been 5 days since you last saw the Shinee boys. It still amazed you that it actually happened and you had to check your phone multiple times to remind yourself that it wasn’t a dream. Their phone numbers really were there and you were going to meet them in 3 more days. This Saturday was when the planned beach outing was to take place and you couldn’t wait to go. You already had your bag packed for when Saturday come by.

You checked your phone once again and smiled as you looked through the text you received from them. All of them has texted you at least once. Some texted you the meeting place and the times. Others, mostly Taemin, text you just random things like what he was seeing and what he was eating. It was weird at first seeing such random things but you really enjoyed getting them and replying back. You were starting to anticipate their texts and you were on your phone more often.

“Ha! I see that fattie here is on her phone more now. Wonder who she’s texting?” The girl next to her said rather loudly.

“I bet she’s texting her mom. She’s probably the only one who would text a loser like Ji-min.” The guy sitting next to her replied back. They all crackled like hyenas, thinking that it was the funniest thing in the world.

You didn’t say anything and just rolled your eyes. You were starting to get so used to their hurtful words that they were starting not to bother you anymore. Hearing things like that everyday would make anyone start to become immune.

The girl and the boy stopped laughing abruptly when they noticed that you didn’t cringe or be affected at all at their teasings. They thought that part of the fun in bullying you was seeing you suffer and react to the things they said.

“What’s her problem?” They frowned as you just continued to look through your phone and reading again the text sent to you by Taemin.

‘Ji min! Guess what I’m having for dinner? Bulgogi! Do you like it?’ You giggled as you reread the text he sent. His texts were always like this and you couldn’t help but smile every time you read them. He was so cute with his texts and you couldn’t help but adore them.

The girl and guy noticed your smile and giggle and they both looked at each other, freaked out.

“I think she’s lost her marbles.” She whispered to the guy as they continued to watch your strange reactions.

“Yeah, she has definitely gone crazy.” The guys said with conviction. With that said, they completely left you alone in your own little world.

Thursday and Friday went just about the same. They were still bullying for course but since they couldn’t get their usual reaction from you, it started to dwindle down.

You didn’t even notice that you were being bullied less. You head was full of Shinee and Eun Mi and the beach. Nothing registered to you about anything else. If someone bumped purposefully to you, you would just get back up and leave them gaping at your unexpected reaction. If some threw you a something, you would just pick it up and throw it in the garbage, all with a smile on your face. It completely freaked out so many of your classmates.

“… This is something really wrong with Ji-min.”

“This is scary.”

When it was finally time to head home on Friday, you were so excited that you almost skipped all the way to your house. As it was, the smile on your face was a permanent fixture.

*Eck! Tomorrow I’m going to be seeing them again!* You thought as you entered through the door of your house. As usual, no one was home. You parent’s job require them to be out of the house almost the whole day and they only came home once you were finally in bed and asleep. It used to bother you how little you see of your parents, but you knew that they loved you and were working hard for your sake. After a while, it was just normal not to see them so often.

You turned around and closed front door and headed immediately to your room. You looked to the corner of your bed and saw the bag that you prepared for tomorrow’s outing. It had everything anyone could need for a beach day, but you went to check again to make sure that everything was in place.

*Sunscreen, check. Sunglasses check. Beach towel, check.* You continued to look through when a thought suddenly occurred to you.

“Food! I should bring food!” With excitement, you stuffed everything back in your bag and hurriedly ran to the kitchen. You haven’t baked or made anything since that incident with Kyuhyun. You frowned once you remembered it.

*No Ji-min, forget that. You are not baking for him. You’re baking for Eun Mi and the boys.* With that thought, you immediately started to bake. Cookies, cupcakes, brownies. Everything you knew how to make, you made it. You could never thank the boys enough for their kindness to you and baking them food seemed like a good idea to start.

4 hours later, you were finally done. It was dark outside and the kitchen looked a mess. There were huge plates stacked with baked goods and the dishes were piled high on the sink. Flour and chocolate was all over the counter and stove and you couldn’t help but frown at taking in the mess you made.

“I may have gone a bit overboard.” You said solemnly. With a sigh, you went to work and started to clean and wash the dishes. It took about another hour for you to finally be done, and by then everything was cooled and ready to be wrapped.

You took three of each of the baked goods and separated them into a plate.

“Mom and dad will probably like these.” You said out loud as you continued to wrap up the rest. It was getting to be really late and you needed to sleep soon so that you had energy for tomorrow.

Wrapping up the last cookie, you smiled and placed everything in a big container. Now it was just waiting for you to grab and take tomorrow for the outing. Smiling, out proud of yourself, you headed up the stairs to get ready to bed.

AS you were brushing your teeth, you heard your phone ding and you couldn’t help but smile. It was a text from one of the boys!

‘Ji-min! Are you excited for tomorrow? I know I am! I can’t wait to see you! J’ You could help but giggle a little at Taemin’s over excited text, you quickly replied back and was about to continue brushing your teeth when you got another text.

You checked to see who it was and it was Key.

‘Don’t forget sunscreen. Wouldn’t want you to burn now do we Ji-min ;P?’ Key texted playfully. You smiled at him and replied back, saying that you had everything fully prepared.

Again, you were interrupted from completing brushing your teeth because your phone signaled another text. *Woah, did they all plan to text me at the same time or something?*

This time, it was a text from Jonghyun.

‘Don’t forget about the beach tomorrow! Eun Mi has been so excited the whole week and can’t wait to see you!’ You smiled fondly as you thought of Eun Mi. She was so precious you couldn’t help but love her already.

You were finally able to finish brushing your teeth after a few more texts. Minho and Onew also texted you, asking and making sure you were all ready to go for tomorrow. You couldn’t help but shake your head at them. They really are the most caring boys you have ever met.

Rinsing your mouth, you checked your phone one last time and it showed a text from Taemin.

‘Goodnight and sweet dreams Ji-min! Can’t wait to have fun with you tomorrow!’

You smiled once again. It seemed that there was always a smile on your face when it involved these five boys and Eun Mi.
