Now that Jaehyo was back in ______’s life, she found it easier to get her mind off of Yoseob.

They were on KakaoTalk, practically 24/7.

 

Jaehyo-ya!

 

bbhyo

Ne?

 

You ... :D

 

bbhyo

You missed me, right? ^^

 

Psh...NO! ^^

 

bbhyo

That looks like a yes! You know, I'd go with you to that party...but...I can't. I have a full schedule on that day.

 

You don't even know the specific day! Full schedule?!

 

bbhyo

My schedule is full the whole week!

 

Why?! Oh right...I'd bet the computer is calling you. I would dream of tearing you away from your Star Craft, Aion, World of Warcraft...etc...etc...

 

bbhyo

DUH! I'm not going to a party that she's at. She can be all sweet and stuff but she was creepy then.

 

I don't want to go alone?

 

bbhyo

Ask the guy you like. There must be someone. I mean...besides me. ;D

 

______ growled at her cell phone screen.

"I would if I could!! He's already going with her!!! AISH!!!!"

"Noona, why are you yelling?" Ricky asked, poking his head into the room.

"No reason."

"Noona, I'm going out with the guys, alright?"

She nodded.

"Arasseo. Just be safe, Arasseo?"

"NE!~ I promise."

"Did you bring a jacket?" she shouted.

Ricky pouted and grumbled a bit.

"Aww...but Noona, it's so hot outside."

"it's better to be safe. You could go somewhere that is chilly. I don't want you to catch a cold, Arasseo?"

"Arasseo!~" he said cheerfully. "Don’t worry about me, Noona."

"It's kind of hard not to. Yah, Yoo Changhyun, stay out of trouble."

“Aww…you mean, like always?!~” he said cutely.

______ couldn’t help but smile.

“Alright, Baby, get lost.” She giggled.

He gave her a quick ppoppo on the cheek.

When Ricky walked out the front door, his friends were already waiting for him.

"YAH! Ricky, where are we going?" CAP asked.

"I want to find out more about the guy that Noona likes. I'm on a stakeout."

In an attempt to be cool and mysterious, he slipped on some dark sunglasses, and a hat.

"Um..." Chunji spoke up. "Don't you think it would be easier to 'spy' if there were less of us?"

"OH YEAH! Why didn't I think of that?"

L. Joe face palmed.

"Changjo-goon..." he patted Ricky's shoulder.

"You can leave." Ricky said coldly.

"I meant RICKY-GOON."

"Don't care, Hyung. I really don't." he pouted. "You were going to insult me, weren't you?! That would be a DOUBLE DISS!! You're a bad Hyung!"

"I was just going to say...______ Noona is smart."

"And?!?"

"Well..."

"I don’t like you!!!!” Ricky shouted, giving him the cold shoulder.

They went out to find Yoseob.

"Do you know his name?"

"Yoseob? I don't know his surname though."

"I feel like we're stackers."

"SHH!!! I'm doing this for my Noona! I want to see what kind of guy he is. Yojin Noona told me his name, and all I know is he is her cousin."

"Why not ask Yojin Noona about him?" Chunji asked.

"Where's the fun in that?"

"Aigoo..." they all chorused together.

"Yojin Noona said he'd be here. Well, he's supposed to be."

"YAH YANG YOSEOB!!" a familiar voice shouted.

"That sounds like Kikwang Seonsaengnim!" Changjo said.

"Aish. Kiss and make up!!"

"No."

"Come on!! Do it for ______!!!"

'They mentioned Noona!!! It must be him.'

"My lip is healed."

"Yay you, my eye is still purple."

Junhyung sighed.

"You two are impossible. You two have NEVER been like this before. Yoseobie, Yojinnie is going to be pissed."

"I know...but I'm her Oppa, she's going to be mad at me for nothing. We're family...it happens."

Kikwang walked off somewhere.

"Ahh!! We're going to get our cover blown!!!" Ricky whimpered.

"Ricky...?"

"Well DUH, now that you shouted and made our presence known!!!"

Kikwang came over.

"Annyeong."

"Annyeonghaseyo, Seonsaengnim." Ricky bowed.

"Annyeonghaseyo, Seonsaengnim!" Changjo mirrored.

"Annyeong, what are you boys up to?"

"Nothing. We were bored."

"Liar." Niel nudged him.

Ricky nudged back.

"We were!" he argued.

Kikwang chuckled.

"Does your Noona know that you're here?"

"Aniyo. She's out with a friend...so we're hanging out. Will you tell on us?"

Kikwang took a deep breath and eyed them a bit.

"Well..." he sighed. "No. If you're good and don't get into trouble. I promise I won't tell. BUT...be safe, Arasseo?"

"NE!!" they all nodded.

"Geurae."

"Yoseobie HYUNG! Buy me food!"

"Can I eat it?" Yoseob teased.

"Yah, Hyung!~" Dongwoon whined, trying to do aegyo.

"Yah, you're doing it WRONG! You have a lot to learn."

"No."

'That's the guy Noona likes?'

Kikwang saw the direction of Ricky's gaze.

'Hes looking at Yoseobie? How does he know Yoseob?' he thought. He pointed in Yoseob's direction. "Are you looking for him? You're looking for Yang Yoseob?"

Ricky panicked.

'OMONA!! I've been caught!!! AGAIN!!' he thought. "Um...N-NO!"

"Aah, I heard he gave you a stuffed bear."

"Sir Bearington Mc Fluffy-." Ricky nodded.

s looked at him.

"Seriously?" the members said, at the same time. "It figures."

Ricky just smiled and shrugged.

'What was that?" Kikwang asked.

"Nothing! Yes, he got me a bear."

"Did you...want me to call him ov-..."

"ANDWAEYO!!!!!!" Ricky shouted.

"You at stakeouts." CAP shook his head.

"Mhm...let's hope you aren't planning to have a career as a police man. You'd never be able to go undercover. Your cover would be blown in, less than, THREE SECONDS."

"NOT TRUE!!~~"

"Seonsaengnim, you've been around him enough. Do you agree?"

Kikwang sighed.

'______ talks about Yoseob but not me?'

"Seonsaengnim?"

Kikwang snapped out of his thoughts.

"Ricky-ya, you've met him?"

"Aniyo."

"Then how do you know..."

"Noona."

"..." Kikwang was silent. 'She does talk about him.'

"Well...She refuses to spill the details so I took matters into my own hands."

"Causing trouble?" Kikwang laughed.

"Aniyo, I'm just helping my Noona."

"Aah, and your friends?"

"Yeah, why are we here?"

"It's getting late and I don't want to be out here alone!!" Ricky said. "DUH! What would happen to Noona if something happened to me."

Kikwang smiled.

'She’s such a loving Noona.' he thought.

He stole a look over at Yoseob.

Awkwardly, they made eye contact.

They quickly scowled at each other and looked away.

"I'll let you return to your stakeout. It's getting late though, so...don't stay out too long."

"Aww...I should be getting home anyway. Noona will worry."

Kikwang nodded, said goodbye, then returned to his friends.

"Who were the kids you were talking to, Kikwangie Hyung?" Dongwoon asked.

"Just a couple of my students and their friends. Actually, one of them were ______'s Dongsaeng."

That got Yoseob's attention.

He looked up.

"Huh?"

"He said he had to get home to ______, so that she won't worry about him." Kikwang explained. He looked at Yoseob's reactions. 'I won't tell him why Ricky was here. I have to respect ______, if it's him that she really likes.'

"Awww..."

Yoseob blinked.

"If you wanted to meet him, just wait until ______ introduces you to him."

"She's pissed at me, for some reason,"

"What did you do?!" Doojoon asked.

"I just asked Jieun to that party that Junhyungie is planning. Then, ______ left. Now, she won't return my texts."

As if on cue, Kikwang's cell phone went off.

"Yeobosaeyo?" he answered. The smile that appeared on his face, made it obvious who was on the other end of the call. "______-ssi? How did you get my number?"

"Yojinnie." she replied. “I begged her, ever so sweetly.”

"Yojin gave you my number?" he asked looking at Yoseob.

Yoseob was not happy to hear that.

He felt betrayed by his cousin.

His own blood.

"Yeah. I asked her for it and she was nice enough to give it to me.” She giggled.

Kikwang looked around a bit, as if looking for someone.

"Aah, ______-ssi, I just saw your Dongsaeng." he said.

"Aah Jinjja?!?!” She exclaimed. “Changhyunnie was excited before he left the house. Was he behaving, this time?"

"Behaving?" he laughed as if she’d said something ridiculous. "The boy was acting. HIGHLY, suspicious."

______ sighed.

"AISH! He's ALWAYS up to something."

"Nah, he went home because he didn't want you to worry. It's all good. Go easy on the boy."

"As long as he didn't cause, too much, trouble…I’ll be okay." she giggled. "Anyway...um...Lee Jieun..."

"Lee Jieun, what about her?"

"She told me about a party that's going on soon..."

"Aah, you mean, Junhyungie's party?"

Everyone turned their attention to him.

"NE! Did you have a date yet?"

"Me? No…wae?"

"No? Um...neither do I. Maybe...we could go together."

"Yeah, sure! I'll see you then!"

He smiled so big, his eyes looked like they were completely closed.

"You're so happy that you've gone blind." Yoseob growled.

He got up and walked away.

"What? SHE asked ME! All I did was say 'Yes'. Don't be a grouch about it! You had a chance to ask her first, but you didn't take it!!!" Kikwang shouted after him. “It’s not my fault you’re a COMPLETE MORON’!!!!”

Yoseob flashed him a certain finger.

The groups' jaws dropped.

"Well...that was completely, out of character." Doojoon said.

"Dayum! He's not happy." Junhyung exhaled. “Not even a little bit.”

"You know he gets moody and bipolar. Let him go. I'm not going to ruin my moment because he's sulky." Kikwang grumbled.

"Well, that's the Hyungs' problem, isn't it?" Dongwoon sighed, shaking his head. “It’s a BIG problem.”

"What?" they asked together.

"Neither Yoseobie Hyung, nor Kikwangie Hyung care whether the OTHER is happy, or not. I mean...if it was back to normal, you ALWAYS would."

"Why is our Maknae, smarter than the rest of us?"

“He graduated from high school more recently. His brain didn’t go to mush yet.” Hyunseung suggested.

Junhyung pointed at him, as if he’d got it right.

“Aah, that’s probably it.”

“You guys, you know that Dongwoonie is right.” Doojoon said. He turned to Kikwang. “If the two of you would stop being selfish…you’d be friends again.”

“No thanks. I’m winning now.”

“Are you really ‘Winning’, Hyung?” Dongwoon asked. “You can win one thing…but lose something else. Are you two alright with that? You don’t mind losing something in order to get what you want?”

“At the moment, I’m happy. I don’t even care about anything else.”

Yoseob chose to confront Yojin, when he got home.

"Oppa, what's wrong?" she asked, walking into the living room.

He narrowed his eyes at her.

"Betrayal, that's what's wrong."

"What are you talking about?"

"______. You gave ______ Kikwang's hand phone number?!?!"

"Yeah...so?"

"She asked him out...RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME!"

Yojin nodded.

She flipped it and turned it back around on him.

"Why does it hurt? You asked Jieun out, right in front of ______ Unnie, didn't you?"

He stayed silent.

“I…”

She got him there.

"Aish. Oppa, I still ship you with Unnie so bad. You're making me lose my faith in you. If you would just admit that you have feeling for Unnie, it wouldn't be like this? Why does it have to be so complicated?! It doesn't! Just stop pulling away."

"What should I do?" he questioned.

"If you keep acting like an idiot, you'll lose her for good. Do you want that?"

"Of course not!”

"Then, the solution is simple! Just go to the party and make your move."

"We have different dates."

"So? Just because Kikwang Oppa is Unnie's date it means you're not allowed to speak to her? Oppa...all you need to do is talk to her."

"You know how I get when I try to talk to her."

"Tell me something, why did you ask Jieun out, when Unnie was right there? Why were you so pissed?"

"She never replied to me on KaTalk."

"She was working."

"No, she was with that guy." He argued.

"She was with a friend that she hadn't seen in years. She was having fun. You're acting jealous because you like her. You assumed that there was more going on between the two of them."

"There could be."

"No...I doubt that."

"What makes you so sure?"

'BECAUSE SHE LIKES YOU, YOU BABO!!!!! ARGH!!' she shouted in her head. "Yah, Oppa."

"What? Are you going to scold me...again?!"

"No." she stated. "I'm just saying..If you don't start trying, I'm going to stop shipping you. If you asked Unnie FIRST, she'd be going with you. She wouldn't be going Kikwang Oppa, if you had just asked her."

"How could I ask her when she was with some guy?!?!"

Yojin rolled her eyes.

She threw her hands up.

"I give up! Oppa, if you're just going to make excuses..."

"I'm not!!!"

Yojin just looked at him.

"Just talk to her, at the party." She repeated.

Yoseob sighed and buried his face in his hands.

"What if I can't?" he asked.

"If you can't..." she started. The suspense was building. "...I'll disown you. You're no longer my Oppa."

“YAH!”

Yojin shrugged.

“I’m going to bed.” She said.

She walked out and left him alone.

“AISH!!!!!!!!!!!!” he shouted.

He took out his anger, punching the feathers out of his poor, defenseless, pillow.
