I sit on the audience’s seat, watching Min Jung practicing for her ballet concert. While watching, I realize I don’t know much about her. I thought I did, but I don’t.

Who is her best friend, what kind of things she like, what is she good at, and etc. I really don’t know.

Being close to someone doesn’t mean that you really know her….

“Sungmin oppa! why are you here?” Jung Hee* says and sit beside me.

“I’m here to accompany a friend, why are you here?” I ask her back.

“I’m practicing for my ballet concert.” Jung Hee gave me a you-should-have-known-that look. “is Sungjin oppa here too?” She turns her head.

“Aniyo~” I said.

“Ah. Who is your friend, oppa? she is one of the dancers?”

“Ne. She’s right there.” I pointed at Min Jung who is showing some movements to another dancers.

“Min Jung sunbae?! She is your friend?” Jung Hee asked with an impressed tone.

I nodded. “You knew her?”

“Of courseeee! She’s the main dancer for the concert! Seonsaengnim praised her a lot. But no wonder, she is a really great dancer. I adore her a lot.” Jung Hee clasped her hands in front of her chest with an aegyo face. “By the way, how did you two met?”

“Ah, her eomma and my eomma are friends.”

“Omo! Jinjja? Sungjin oppa never told me about Min Jung sunbae…”

“That’s because Sungjin doesn’t know her too.” I replied.

“Ah, so it’s like that… anyway, oppa. you like her, right?” Jung Hee said to the point.

“Ah, mwo?” I startled.

“Oppa, maybe you don’t know, but I’m really good at reading people’s feelings. Come one, admit it.”

Aigo. This kid. Is it obvious, eh?

“You like her, geujeo?” She raised her eyebrows as she smirks.

“Aish, don’t tell her anything, arasseo? Act like you don’t know anything.”

“Arasseo, arasseo. You secret is safe with me, oppa.” She grins. “Oh, does she like you too?”

“Na molla. I’ve never asked her about that.” I shrugged.

“Aih! You should ask her. You know what? Oppa, you are not the only one who likes her.” Jung Hee said, giving code with her eyes.

I look in the direction she meant.

Min Jung is there, sitting next to Dong Wook on the edge of the stage, a bit away from the others. Dong Wook hands Min Jung a bottle of water while whispering something to her. Min Jung laughs and hit him on the arm.

They look so….. intimate?

“Yeah, they look so intimate.” Jung Hee said and I realize I’ve voiced my thoughts.

“Oppa, keuronika*, go tell her that you like her. Don’t wait anymore, another guy will get her first.” She tapped my shoulder and walk towards the stage to continue her practice.

4 hours later

Cho Kyuhyun’s pov

“Ryeowook hyung, why there’s nothing in the kitchen? I’m hungry.” I shouted from the kitchen.

“Ah, we ran out of cooking ingredients. Go order some delivery foods.” Ryeowook hyung replied without even looking at me; he’s watching drama on tv, as always.

“Ah, hyuuung! I’m sick of delivery foods. We ordered them almost every night after practice.”

“I don’t have something to cook for you even if I want to, Kyuhyun-ah.” Ryeowook hyung said. “Ah! You can ask Sungmin hyung to buy them at the nearest supermarket.”

“But he’s with Min Jung now.” I pouted.

“Ask him to buy the ingredients on his way home later. Not now.” Ryeowook hyung rolled his eyes.

“Ah, matda! I’m hungry that’s why my brain is not working.” I replied as I dial the phone number that I’ve memorized; Sungmin’s number.

“Yeoboseyo? Sungmin-ah, where are you now?”

“I’m on my way home, wae?”

“Oh, could you buy some ingredients on the supermarket nearby? Ryeowook hyung will cook for dinner but we ran out of meats and some stuffs.”

“Sure, but can he come with me? Those ingredients got a lot of types and I don’t know which one to buy.”

“Hyung, Sungmin asked you to come with him.” I said as I put my phone away from my ear.

“Ah, shireo. I’m watching my drama.”

“HYUUUUNG!”

“Arasseo, arasseo. I’ll write down what you need to buy and you, Kyuhyun, go with Sungmin hyung.” Ryeowook hyung said as he randomly took a paper from the desk beside the tv.

“teehehe.” I smiled. “Gomawo, hyung!”

“Yeoboseyo? Kyuhyun-ah? You still there?” Sungmin’s voice went.

“Ah, ne. I’ll come with you. Ryeowookie hyung is writing down what we need to buy now.”

“Geurae. I’ll be there in 5 minutes, then.”

“Okay!”

I didn’t know that only going to a supermarket to buy some groceries took a lot of energy and time. It took almost 2 hours to buy everything, and I’m so salute of the ahjummas who go to the market everyday just to buy groceries. If it was me I would have gone crazy!

“I don’t know that even they have different spices for different type of dishes. Aigo.” I said as I wear my seatbelt.

“That’s why.” Sungmin mumbles. “Oh, Kyuhyun-ah, hand me my wallet. I need to pay for the parking money.”

Sungmin wallet is with me because when we pay for groceries earlier, Sungmin is too busy checking all the groceries-just to make sure we bought everything we need, and his wallet fell down. He is always like this, so careless.

I took his wallet out of my pocket and was about to hand him when his wallet tucked out of my hand and fall.

Aish.

I under my seat; looking for Sungmin’s wallet. Aih, I hate looking for stuffs by groping!

Eh, what’s this? I touched something that feels like… a round-shaped thing inside a plastic.

I secretly pick up that plastic-it's so small- without Sungmin knowing and put it inside my pocket.

Super Junior’s dorm, 10PM KST

After having dinner, some of the members watch tv and chatting in the living room as usual, while some go to their room to rest.

I don’t play game tonight and went straight to my room. We have schedules tomorrow so we should sleep early, but that’s not what makes me go to my bed so early.

I look at the plastic with few small tablets in it.

This is just an ordinary medicine…but wait, no. I feel like I have seen this kind of medicine before.

“Kyuhyun-yah.” Sungmin voice went as he opens he door.

I quickly hide the plastic in my blanket.

“Oh, wae?”

“Ani, I just wonder why do you go to bed so early tonight.” He shrugged.

“Ah, I just feel like I need more rest. We will have lots of schedules starting next month and probably I wont get enough sleep.” I lied.

“Geurae. SJM will have comeback soon… Sleep well, then. Jaljja!” Sungmin smiles and turns off the room’s light.

I quietly took the plastic from my blanket and put it in my backpack. I crawl back to bed, pulled my blanket and try not to think about this tonight.
