[Your POV]

“Oh My Gosh! Oh My Gosh!” Jin Ae gushed as she tugged the sleeve of my shirt frantically.

“Aish Jin Ae ah! Shhh!” I begged as my best friend clung onto my arm as if her life depended on it.

“Do you think Yoochun sshi will notice me?” she asked as she flung her long wavy hair back over her shoulder.

“What? Since when are you coming with me?” I asked in shock.

“Well seeing as you just got promoted and I’m your best friend, I am entitled to at least one fest right?” she asked giggling with an evil glint in her eye.

“Jin Ae ah!” I whined walking away from her, at times I just wished I didn’t know her at all.

So I’ve been sent to take photos for a new clothing range. No biggie right? That was until I found out who the models were. Dong Bang Shin Ki. One of the biggest boy bands in all of Korea, not to mention Asia itself. And not to mention a number of swooning fans in America and Australia just to name a few. I didn’t know how I was meant to react when I saw them, but from what I’ve heard they are pretty decent guys so it wouldn’t be that bad right?

“~~~~ ah!” I turned and looked at Jin Ae, who had suddenly stopped with me.

“Hmm?”

“You were off in dream land again” she said with a pout.

“Was I? I never noticed” I said with a huge smile.

“I know you’re not into the boys as much as I am… but please! You have no idea how much it would mean to me” she looked at me with pleading eyes.

I stifled a giggle and pretended to ignore her.

“I really don’t know Jin Ae ah, I really don’t” you said as you began skipping down the street.

“Please! Even if I’m your water girl!” she yelled after me.

“Water Girl? Jin Ae Ah you make me laugh” I giggled as we both entered a huge clothing store.

As I entered a cold rush of air hit me, making me shiver slightly.

“Hello, can I help you?” the lady at the counter asked.

She was a young girl, maybe even younger than I was. Her voice sounded bored, I presumed she had been saying the line a lot today and by now was sick of it.

“Hi! I’m here to see your manager. I’m the photographer from Star Shots” I said cheerfully, trying to make the girl smile.

“Oh, please wait here” she said with a little more enthusiasm, she was probably just glad to be moving away from the counter.

I could still feel Jin Ae tugging at the sleeve of my grey jumper, waiting for an answer. I ignored her and smiled as the attendant walked out followed by a short plump looking lady.

“Hello, you must be Ahn ~~~~ ah” the lady extended out her hand and my eyes widened just a little.

Her hand held three rings, all of them gold and encrusted with diamonds and sapphires. I looked at Jin Ae from the corner of my eye and saw that she too had just stopped and stared. The plump lady cleared and pulled both Jin Ae and I back down to earth.

“Yes, and you must be Mrs Lee, we spoke on the phone” I shook her hand and bowed before she caught site of Jin Ae.

“And you are?”

Jin Ae straightened up and gave Mrs Lee an angelic smile.

“I’m her assistant” she answered confidently.

“I…” I winced as I felt Jin Ae’s Adidas sneakers stopped onto my Converse.

“Very well, please follow me” Mrs Lee waddled into a small office and Jin and I followed quietly.

I glared at Jin Ae, who only gave me a pout and smiled excitedly. I could just imagine what she was thinking about right now. Yoochun sshi.

[Jae Joong POV]

“Hyung!” I heard Junsu whinge as I took another photo of him.

He wasn’t happy that I had taken a photo of him without him realising it. I did that a lot, it frustrated all of them, but I know secretly they all love the extra attention.

“It’s okay, I’m the only one that’s gonna see it, why worry so much?” I asked as I ran around the lounge room trying to avoid Junsu.

“Ya! Yoochun ah! Hold him back!!!!” I yelled as Junsu lunged for me and my expensive camera.

Yoochun just laughed and continued watching T.V. With everything that was going on these days the five of us were rarely together anymore. It was just us three at the moment. I felt a little bit upset that Changmin was out somewhere and I had no idea where. Yunho’s drama had just been cut short and he was out with some friends, trying to get over the one digit ratings he had received. I was in deep thought when Junsu had finally grabbed hold of my camera. I shrugged it off and began feeling even more down as I realised how much I had missed the company of my other two band members.

“Oh, Jae Joong hyung, are you okay?” Junsu asked when he noticed my change of mood.

“Nothing… I just… never mind” I concluded not wanting to whinge to Junsu and Yoochun anymore than I already had previously.

“Delete the photos and then put the camera back on the table okay?” I said and went to the bathroom.

“What’s wrong with Jae Joong hyung?” I heard Junsu’s high pitched voice ask.

“I don’t know. It must be about Yunho hyung and Changmin” Yoochun answered back in his husky voice.

“Probably” Junsu finally said.

I closed the door of the bathroom and sighed. There was so much going on these days, nothing seemed right anymore. With all the commotion concerning SM our whole band hasn’t even done much activity together. I sat on the ground and leaned my back up against the door. I let out a sigh and got up, looking at the clock in the bathroom. Five thirty… time to get started on dinner. I walked out and began fumbling in the kitchen, hearing this Junsu pushed Yoochun into the kitchen and closed the door.

“Yoochun ah, pass me the eggs” I instructed as I grabbed a bowl and chopsticks.

“Awww, hyung why am I always stuck cooking with you?” Yoochun whined.

“Ya! Park Yoochun ah! Not always, you haven’t cooked with me for a whole month. Anyway it’s not like you have to cook with me in public. Remember the variety show we did way back? You cooked with Junsu… it was YooSu galore for all the Cassiopeians” I snapped.

It wasn’t that bad to cook with me was it? I heard Yoochun let out a defeated sigh and put the rice into the cooker.

“Hyung, when is our photo shoot again?” I looked up to see Changmin looking at me through the kitchen door.

That every hungry boy was always home at dinner time.

“I don’t know, ask Yunho” I went back to whisking my eggs as I heard the door click shut.

“Yunho hyung!” there was no reply, I guess Yunho wasn’t home yet.

“Appa! When’s our photo shoot?” I heard Changmin yell again, this time, Yunho answered.

“I don’t know”

I laughed at Changmin’s childishness, after so long I guess the whole daddy Yunho and mummy Jae Joong sorta rubbed off on the both of them.

“Jae Joong hyung, what’s my password for my gaming account again? I’ve forgotten and Junho’s waiting for me online” I looked up again and saw Junsu’s cute face staring back at me through the door.

“Your birth date” I said as I continued chopping up some vegetables.

“Thanks” he rushed out and I could hear his excited squeals as soon as he had scored some points.

Although the SM problem hadn’t been fully solved it finally felt like we were a family again when everyone was happy. There was still so much going on but the best I could do was try to make sure everyone was happy. I was the oldest and I felt like it was my responsibility.

“Yoochun ah, go out and join the others, I’ll finish up in here” I said with a smile.

“Oh, hyung are you sure?”

“I’m sure”

“Thanks! You’re the best!” I felt a hard whack as Yoochun hit my back before running out and screaming Yunho’s name.

Another usual night in the DBSK family. I sighed as I thought about our upcoming photo shoot. More photographers and journalists to hide from. Going out these days was always hard when people only wanted to know about everything negative. I let out a sigh as I stirred the boiling soup. Being in the public eye has always been a downside to being a celebrity. And most of the time the boys would all sit around and complain about how having a girlfriend was going to be heaps harder than preparing for an upcoming tour. All of us knew it too well, having a girlfriend while being famous was a no-go-zone.
