Niel's pov:

the next morning:

"Um... what's that smell?" I woke up on the smell of something delicious.

"yeh.. what's that?" asked cap who woke up after me

"Let's go check it out" I jumped outta bed and ran to the kitchen, and I saw Karen making some pancakes for us, with ricky standing /aegyo-ing/ by her side.

"what are you doing?" I asked while taking a closer look

"making you a healthy british breakfast" she said still looking at the pan "you guys have practice today, and I want you to train hard" she continued

in a matter of seconds, L.joe, chunji, and chagjo were gathered in the kitchen, and waiting for the food  like hungry kittens.

"PANCAKES . PANCAKES" yelled ricky as he ran around the table

"stop!! you're annoying me" glared L.joe

ricky stuck his tongue out for L.joe and ran behind Karen

Cap finally entered the kitchen and sat on the table

"who told you to cook for us?" he asked without making any eye contact

she just smiled and gave him the 'IDK' face, then brought the pancakes which were covered with blueberry jam.

"tada!!" she said, and took her seat beside me

our eyes wided, because it's the first home-cooked meal since our last album

"thanks for the food" we all bowed and started eating.


"ahhh... I'm full" I raised my hand

the all did the same too

"glad you liked mt pancakes" karen said with a smile while taking our dishes to the washer

"thanks alot, you'll surely be a good wife" said changjo, karen blushed at his little comment

"ah! we are running late! let's go" chunji got up and pulled us to the door "you too Karen! wanna watch us practicing??" he asked

"no, it won't be fun watching the concert if I saw you practicing" she gave us this eye-smile "I'll just go for some shopping"

"ok, then, bye, take care" we all waved goodbye, and so did she

after we left:

"ahh... this dorm is so messy, I dunno where to start" Karen whispered to herself, then started dish-washing, tidying, and sweeping the floor.

after five hours of cleaning:

"ah! finally clean" she wiped her forehead with the back of her hand

"I feel dizzy" she whispered to herself "I'll just go take a nap"

she headed to the room and slept

we all came back after a long practice:

"wahh..." we all said at once as we saw the house is so clean

"where is Karen?" I asked

"dunno, I'll check out the rooms" said chunji

he went to our room

"she's here" chunji yelled from our room "she seems tired"

I stepped closer to her and touched her forehead

"ah! she has a fever"

"really?" asked Ricky as he kneed down to the bed's level

Karen opened her eyes slowly to see us around her

"w-what is it?" she asked still sleepy

"I think you have a fever" Replied cap

she touched her forehead

"oh! but I was fine a while ago" she pouted "I think I didn't get used to the atmosphere in Korea yet"

"no, it's not that!" yelled changjo

"you were working in the house all day!" Cap continued

"you pushed your body to the limit, our house is so big to clean it alone!" I said while putting my hands on my hips.

Ricky kissed karen's cheek and pushed her head on the pillow again

"sleep now, we'll make you some soup"

"no, no need, you're tired, go to sleep too" she held my hand

"just shut up already" glared L.joe

Karen cover her face.

"don't yell at me" she said from under the blanket.

Cap grabbed L.joe and threw him outta the room

"fine, I'll go make us dinner" I raised my hand

they all followed me, except for cap, he stayed by her side a little longer

"we're sorry, we made you sick" he bowed

"don't say that, I'm soory for being troublesome to you guys"

"YOU'RE NOT- I mean..."

Karen got closer to cap and kissed his cheek

"you must be tired too, get some rest Cap-shi"

he nodded and left the room.
