Back in Korea after the mini cruise, the boys were still busy with live presentations and TV shows. Nicky was invited to take part in the Strong Heart recording, and she made sure that Leeteuk wasn’t part of the idol audience that day. She was serious about keeping the relationship secret. “Nicky-sshi! You are Super Junior’s assistant manager. Who is your favorite member?” the MC asked. Michelle was seated with Nicky translating everything for her. “I don’t have a favorite member” Nicky replied and the guys in the show scoffed. “It seems that they disagree on that! Boys, who is her favorite member?” the MC asked.  “Kyuhyun-sshi!” responded Donghae, Shindong and Eunhyuk at the same time while Kyuhyun laughed. “ANIYO!” responded Nicky and everyone started laughing. “Oh! That she answered in perfect Hangeul!” the MC added while everyone laughed. “I don’t have a favorite member!” Nicky insisted.  “Why you guys say that Kyuhyun-sshi is her favorite?” the Mc asked. “They fight a lot, but they can’t be away from each other for too long” said Donghae. “Yah! That’s not true!” grunted Kyuhyun.

“He’s the youngest, so he is very stubborn. I have to tell him everything twice.” Nicky said and Michelle translated making everybody laugh. “She is always yelling at him!” said Shindong and the audience laughed. “So it is because of the age difference.” the Mc added.  “And the fact that he is pure evil!” said Eunhyuk  and everyone laughed. “I don’t like being told what to do and she’s always bossing us around.” Kyuhyun said. “That’s my job!” Nicky responded after Michelle translated for her. The audience was laughing hysterically. “She’s like a mother sometimes” added Donghae. “She treats us like her kids.” Eunhyuk said. “That would make me very old; I prefer being your noona!” Nicky added and they all laughed.

The new Super Show Tour was starting and the boys were busy with practice. Each of them had a solo performance and they kept it hidden from each other. Nicky knew what some of them were doing but Leeteuk didn’t tell her about his. “Why can’t I see you practice your solo?” she asked him entering the practice room. “Why can’t tell about couple?” Leeteuk asked drinking some water. “Fair enough!” she replied turning around. He grabbed her by the waist and hugged her. “Teukie stop! I’m working!” she said smiling. “Is surprise” he said kissing her cheek. “Let me go; someone could see.” She added getting some hair out of his eyes. He looked around and kissed her on the lips, then he let her go. “You’re going to get us in trouble!” she said playfully hitting his arm and leaving the room. While she was walking through the corridors of the SM building she heard someone calling her name. She turned around and found Yunho walking on her direction. “Hi sweetie. How are you?” she asked. “Good. Noona.…is it true?” Yunho asked her. “What?” she asked not knowing what he was talking about. “You dating Leeteuk hyung?” he asked. Nicky opened her eyes very surprised and grabbed Yunho by the arm, moving to a corner. “Who told you that?” she asked in a low voice. Yunho got a little scared, maybe asking her was a bad idea. “It was Kyuhyun, right?” she asked again and he just shrugged his shoulder with a half smile. “I’m going to kill that boy!” Nicky said out loud but to herself. “Is true?” Yunho asked. “You can’t tell anybody! Yes, it’s true” she replied.  Yunho’s face expression changed a little. “Oh.” He replied looking to the floor. “Please,  I need you to promise me that will not say a word” Nicky begged him. “No problem. Congratulations, noona” he added hugging her. “Thank you sweetie” she said hugging him back. “He very lucky” he added and then left. They didn’t noticed but Leeteuk had been watching them talk and his face expression was not a happy one.

Leeteuk went to the little kitchenette area in the building to grab a snack. Once he sat on a table, Yunho entered and sat next to him. “Hyung, you better be good to her.” Yunho told him in a low voice. “To who?” Leeteuk asked. “Nicky noona. If I ever see her cry because of you, I will punch you.” Yunho replied with a serious expression. “I love her; I will never make her cry” Leeteuk said standing up. “You are very lucky, don’t ruin it.” Yunho added.  “You like her, don’t you?” Leeteuk asked with a serious expression. Yunho looked down. “That doesn’t matter.She loves you, hyung” Yunho replied standing up and walking away.

It was late at night in the dorm and Nicky was watching some TV in the living room sofa. Sungmin entered the dorm and got in the sofa with her, placing his head on her lap. “Here we go again” Nicky said laughing. “Hi, Noona!” Sungmin said smiling looking up at her. “Everything okay,sweetie? Are you having more girl problems?” she asked him. “Ani” he replied turning his head to watch TV. “Then why are you here?” She asked confussed. “Make hyung jealous!” he replied smiling.  “Sungmin! That is not nice!” she said laughing and he laughed as well. “You love Teukie hyung?” he asked her, sitting up. “I do” she replied. “You marry him?” he asked again. “Lee Sungmin! We have been together for a couple of weeks only. You’re going way too fast!” she replied a little embarrassed. “Mianhe” said Sungmiin laughing. “Is Kyuhyun downstairs?” Nicky asked him  trying to change the conversation. “Neh” replied Sungmin. “I have something to clarify with him!” she added standing up and Sungmin followed her.

She entered the 11^th floor dorm and went straight to Sungmin’s and Kyuhyun’s room. He was on his bed using a laptop. “Kuyhyun, I have to…………….” Nicky stopped midsentence as she entered the room. “Is that my computer?” she asked him. He looked up at her. “Neh” he answered with a smile. “Why are you using my…………….wait!........ Hello Jessy!”  she paused and speak loudly.  Kuyhyun turned the laptop around and Jessica (Nicky’s friend from Puerto Rico) was in the screen. “Hi Vero!” Jessy replied.  “Seriously Kyuhyun?” Nicky asked him. “Talk other time?” Kyuhyun said to Jessy  and they said goodbye before he closed the laptop.  “You’re aware that she’s my age, right?” Nicky asked looking at him. “She’s friend” he replied giving her the laptop. “Sweetie, what am I going to do about you?” she said smiling and sitting next to him. “Yah! Why you in room?” he asked. “What? You guys can get into my room any time you want but I can’t do the same to you? Besides, there’s nothing in here I haven’t seen before.” She replied. “Not true” Kyuhyun said laughing. “Why do you have my computer?” she asked.  “To talk to Jessy” he replied. “Can’t you use your own computer?” she asked again. “Yours easy” he replied laughing.  “Why did you told Yunho about Leeteuk and me?” she asked.  “Necessary” he answered. “I don’t want people to know about it sweetie.” She added. “He need to know” he said looking at her. “I will never understand what’s going on in that little head of yours!” she said ruffling his hair. “Yah! Noona stop!” he said laughing.  “Just don’t tell any more people, will you?” she said standing up and walking to the door. “Arasso” he replied.  Nicky returned to her room and sat on her bed. She then decided to video call Jessy. “What are you doing?” she said once Jessy picked up the call. “Hi Vero! Nice to see you? How are you?” Jessy said. “Don’t ignore my question! “ she said laughing. “Nothing; he called me! He’s really nice. But his English is so limited. You’re a bad teacher!” Jessy said laughing. “I’m not their teacher anymore!” Nicky replied. “I know, you are now the leader’s girlfriend!” Jessy added. “He told you?” Nicky responded “Yes; since you didn’t! I’m very happy for you.” Jessie replied.  “That boy has a big mouth!” Nicky said. “That boy cares a lot about you. He really thinks of you as his big sister. But tell me about the boyfriend!” Jessy said.  “Don’t start! He’s amazing, turns out that he liked me. So, now we are a couple.” Nicky said a liitle embarrassed. “That’s wonderful! But I have five words to tell you; always remember this five words: YOU ARE NOT A NUN” Jessy said emphasizing the syllables. “Get off my case!” Nicky said blushing nad they both laughed.
