     Annie and I took our seat in the audience, excitedly waiting for it all to begin. Kang In got us front row tickets and backstage passes too after the concert was done. I thought it wasn't necessary but Annie was definitely freaking out. I had a feeling she was just excited to see Kang In oppa up on stage. She denies it but I know her too well. Next to us was two high school students that were just as excited as we were if not more. They had the fan sign, glow sticks and everything.

     "I can't wait to see Lee Teuk oppa. He's so cute." one of the girls squelled with excitement.

     "He's always such an entertainer up on stage," the other girl chimed in. "And his killer smile."

They both sigh, thinking about it. "I could die happy." They both said and then laughed about it.

I shook my head. That Royal pain doesn't know the effect he has on girls does he. When I see him, he's definitely gonna get a piece of my mind. As soon as the light dimmed down, the crowd went wild, cheering and screaming. Annie joined in too making me laugh. I guess at this moment, we were going to be highschool students.

Throughout the show, the two students couldn't stop talking about Lee Teuk. There was a part of me that got a little annoyed and might I as even jealous? He kept on looking their way, winking, and smiling at them, making them squeal even more that little jerk. It was as if i was invisible, but that couldn't be possible becasue Kang In saw me and winked...or maybe that was intended for Annie, but point being, that jerk acted as if he didn't see me. Definitely gonna talk to him after the show.

After the show was over, which was quite good, Annie practically dragged me back stage to see them. We ran into Manager Hyun, who I introduced Annie to. We helped him carry the water bottles to the guys as they each walked off the stage.

     "Noona, you came." Kyu Hyung beamed with excitement.

     "Wouldn't miss it for the world." I laughed. "You guys were good as always. The girls next to us went wild."

      "You know how we bring it." Eun Hyuk said triumphantly, making us laugh. He took the water bottle from my hand and walked off into the changing room. I just shook my head and laughed.

     Lee Teuk was next. I handed him the water bottle with a smile on my face. I looked at me, at the water bottle, smirked and took the one in Annie's hand instead. Annie looked at me surprised. I tried not to act hurt but this was definitely not was i had expected. Normally he would make fun of me, but still take it.

     "You alright?" she asked me.

     I faked a smile and nodded. "I'm alright."

Kang In wrapped his arm around the head, giving me a nudgy, messing up my hair. "Yah, Young Woong Oppa." I laughed.

     "So, how did we do?" he asked.

     "Daebak!" I said, holding out a thumbs up. "Annie would agree too." I turned to look at Annie to see her agree but she just stood theri with a awestruck smile on her face. She is totally crushing on my brother right now.

     "If you two are not busy, you are more than welcome to come over to our place. It will probably be the last time we will get to hangout before the banquet. I know you will be leaving back home after that."

     I nodded agreeing. "That will be fantastic. Right Annie?"

     She just nodded, still having that smile on her face. I shook my head, yep, she's crushing alright.

Lee Teuk P.O.V

     "Okay, everyone knows the drill." I said as we all stood around in a huddle. "Let's go out there and show them what we got."

     "Yeah!" Everyone beamed with excitement.

     "Okay. Super Junior on three. One-Two-Three"

     "SUPER JUNIOR!" everyone shouted before going up onto the stage. The crow roared with excitment. I scanned the crowd for Lillian and Annie. Wait, what am I doing. I can't like her anymore.

     We all lined up in formations to perform the first song, Miracles. From the corner of my eye, I spotted her. She looked up at us with excitement. I couldn't help but feel a little happy to see her. I couldn't help but feel like I had to perform my best. I had to remind myself throughout the whole entire show though that she was already taken, that she was someone elses girl. So everytime, I caught myself looking her way, I would turn my attention to the two high school students next to them. The farther I distance myself from her, the less hurt I would get in the end.

     When we were finish with the show, I saw Lillian handing out water to the guys as we stepped off stage, like the old days. Part of me wanted to take the water from her but then I had to tell myself not to take it. Can't give myself false hope even with their kind gestures and smile. I won't fall for it...not again, not anymore. Kang In came into the changing room saying that Lillian and Annie were coming over to spend some time with up before they leave for back home. I was excited but at the same time it was hard to be that close to her too. Avoidance would be best until she leaves. Less her meant less hurt. Yes, avoidance would be best. And that was exactly what I did. As soon as we got back to the Suju house, I gave everyone a pep talk on how proud I was of them and how well we did. As soon as that was over, I excused myself from the room and went up to the bedroom to do whatever it, anything other than being with Lillian was better. When I turned to leave, I thought I saw a look of dissappointment in Lillian's eyes, but it could just be false hopes.

end of view

      I felt a pang of dissappointment when Lee Teuk left. I had to admit, I wanted to hang out with Super Junior but at the same time, I was hoping to be with Lee Teuk and maybe even talk to him too....even if it was just for a little bit. We ended up playing ultimate spoons. They do such a good job hiding the spoons, I lost all the rounds that we had play so far.

     "Lillian only has on more life left." Ryeo Wook said as he passed out the cards.

     "That's because she's too slow." Annie said.

      "You guys are just too good at hiding the spoon." I said.

       "You guys can play this round. I'm gonna sit out." Kang In said putting his card down, begining to stand up.

       "Andwaw Oppa." I said, pulling him back down. "Just one more round."

      "You guys go a head. I was going to head up stairs really quick. Forget something." He ruffled my hair like always and walked away. I'm definitely gonna miss that when I go back.

      For this last round I ended up losing, which was no surprise. I headed up stairs to wash up but overhead Kang In and Lee Teuk talking.

       "Is it because of Lillian? Is that why you're not down there?" Kang In asked.

       "What would you do if I said yes?"

       "Why hyung? Why are you doing this?"

Lee Teuk laughed. "Because I can't stand it. I can't stand her. I can't."

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. He really doesn't like me at all. The feeling weren't return. This hurt far more than what Ashlee and Jake did. Tears started to form in my eyes. I quickly wiped and turned to leave. If Lee Teuk was stuck in his room because he coudn't stand me than it would be better if Annie and I left.

As I turned around to leaving, strong arms were suddenly wrapped around me. I looked up and saw Joo Chan staring down at me with a warm smile on his face. Not a smirk or happy smile, but a comforting friend smile. I burried my face in his chest, partly due to embarassment but also because I needed it.

     "Oh Joo Chan. " I heard Lee Teuk say. "Here to pick Lillian up?"

     "Yeah, Lillian called saying she wasn't feeling well." Joo Chan calmly said. I felt his arm tighten around mine. Joo Chan gathered my coat, put it on me and the three of us left. Neither of us said anything. Annie did all the talking, stating how much fun she had. At least one of us had fun right?

When we got to the Kim's house Annie entered the house first. Joo Chan lightly tugged my hand, stopping me.

     "Did you want to talk about it? As a brother to a little sister?"

     I smiled at him. He is definitely a good guy. "It's okay, Joo Chan."

     "Grandma wanted you home early to try on the dress incase we need to do any last minute fixes. She insisted." He laughed. "I swear she's up to something like always. She kept on saying she wanted you to look the best for the banquet, especially witht he number of eligible bachelors invited.

     "Grandma never ceases to surprise me." I laughed.

      "I was going to tell you about a surprise too...but that will have to wait untilt he banquet...something for you to look forward too."

      I laughed. "I shall wait until then. Thanks Joo Chan, really. For everything."

      "If you need me to beat him up for you, just let me know."

      I laughed out loud.

     "Now that's the Lillian I know." he said pinching my noes.

     "She definitely is going to be one lucky girl." I said.

Joo Chan just smiled at me before opening the door for me. We were greeted with hugs and smiles. They all insisted on me trying on the dress since it came in, especially Grandma Kim. Annie had her dress on too.

     "If those boys don't realize how stunning you two ladies are then they are definitly blind." Grandma Kim said, smiling with excitement.

     "Oh don't worry Grandma." I said. "This one is definitely taken already."

Annie gently punched me in the shoulders earning a laugh from everyone. Everyone was definitely having a good time. I made sure I did too...or at lead try to act like I did.
