“Yuri-ah, are you okay?” Minho asked anxiously while holding Yuri’s arm. He looked very worried when seeing Yuri who was fighting with her pain and she looked extremely painful.

She immediately opened her bag. “My medicine,” she kept repeated that words anxiously while looking for it in the bag. “AH!” she sighed while closing her eyes tightly. “I… I le… left a..at home,” she said while frowning.

Minho couldn’t stand to see Yuri who was in pain. He suddenly squatted down in front of Yuri. “Get on my back! Hurry up! I’ll send you to hospital!” he said to Yuri while being in ready-for-giving-piggyback position and waited for Yuri to get on his back. Yuri listened to what Minho said and immediately get on his back. After confirming Yuri was on his back in stable position, he got up and ran as fast as he could to the hospital using the shortcut. Meanwhile, Yuri felt weaker and she just rested her head on Minho’s shoulder while closing her eyes.

[At Soshi Girls’ villa]

“Hello, everyone!” suddenly Tiffany popped out from the door. She spotted Super Boys who were also in Soshi Girls’ villa. “Oh, you guys are also here! Hi, boys!” she greeted Super Boys while standing in front of the door as she was still waiting for Hyunjoong who was parking his motorbike.

“Oh, Fany-ah! We haven’t seen you for a long time!” Jessica said. Tiffany smiled to Jessica as a reply. Then, she looked around the villa. “Why? What are you looking for?” Jessica asked in astonishment seeing Tiffany’s action.

“Where are Minho and Yuri? Did they already arrive?” Tiffany asked.

“No,” Taeyeon replied while shaking her head.

Then, Hyunjoong entered through the door and he stood beside Tiffany. Tiffany turned her body towards Hyunjoong. “Hyunjoong! We won!” she exclaimed excitedly while reaching her hand to Hyunjoong. Hyunjoong smiled and they made a hi-5. Soshi Girls, Super Boys and Yoona looked at both of them in astonishment. “Oh, yes!” Tiffany blurted out after seeing their reaction. “This is my friend, Kim Hyunjoong,” she introduced Hyunjoong.

“Hello, everyone! I’m Kim Hyunjoong, nice to meet you all!” Hyunjoong introduced himself while bowing his body.

“Friends? I thought he is your boyfriend!” Sunny said to Tiffany excitedly while smirking.

“What?!” Tiffany asked in a shocked voice while widening her eyes. “Of course not!” she immediately denied. She wondered why everyone kept thinking she and Hyunjoong were lovers. Were them acting like a lover? That question came across her mind. Then, she took a seat beside Yoona.

“Hyunjoong-ah! Sit here!” Donghae friendlily asked Hyunjoong to take a seat beside him. Hyunjoong smiled as the thank you-reply and he took a seat beside Donghae.

Tiffany wrapped her hands around Yoona while smiling. Yoona turned her head towards Tiffany and stared at her. Yoona held Tiffany’s chin and moved it to the left, right, up and down. Tiffany raised her eyebrows in astonishment. “Are you really okay now?” Yoona asked with a frown on her face.

“Yes~ I’m fine!” Tiffany exclaimed while wrapping her hands around Yoona tighter. Yoona gave a wide smile as a reply.

“Fany-ah!” Taeyeon suddenly called. Tiffany turned her head towards Taeyeon while raising her eyebrows. “I’m curious, what did you mean by ‘we won’?”

“Hyunjoong and I went to the cinema and coincidentally we met Yuri and Minho there. We watched the movie together. We competed with each other to see who would arrive first here. We rode Hyunjoong’s motorbike and they’re coming here by feet.”

“Eh~ what competition is that? It’s not fair!” Sunny said.

“Minho is a basketball player. He must be very active, right? And, Yuri also can run fast. She is very active!” Tiffany turned her head towards Yoona. “Right?”

“Ah, yes!” Yoona agreed with Tiffany while nodding. “When we were children, she really could run fast. She is the most active among us. Now, she still doesn’t change at all.” Yoona turned her head towards Tiffany. “But, you are the least active!” She said to Tiffany while laughing. “She really got tired easily!” Yoona added.

Everyone laughed after hearing what Yoona said. “What the…!” Tiffany whined while pouting her lips. Yoona just looked at Tiffany while smiling widely. “Anyways, I admit that!” Tiffany added boldly.

Donghae interrupted the conversation, “But, are you guys sure she really can run now even in that condition? If I’m not mistaken, she has asthma.” Everyone looked so shocked as they really didn’t expect it since Yuri really looked healthy and active. So, it is a bit didn’t make sense. “I accidentally saw her medicine in her room when trying to speak to her. I asked her and she admitted that she has asthma.”

“That’s weird! Why she didn’t tell us?!” Yoona said.

“You remember the last time when we four went out? …after Yoona’s operation. After Yuri and I left you two alone, we played a game. On that time, she really ran fast, I don’t know how much the distance she left me behind but seriously, she is really fast. I think she can be assumed like a lightning! So, thinking she has asthma, it’s a bit doesn’t make sense,” Tiffany added.

“Oh, by the way…” Sungmin suddenly blurted out. “I think I have seen Hyunjoong before.” He looked at Hyunjoong. “Did we ever meet before?”

Hyunjoong smiled and replied, “Maybe you have seen me in a magazine or newspaper.”

“Why?! Are you also an artist?!” Jessica asked Hyunjoong in a shocked voice. Jessica turned her head towards Tiffany. “Fany-ah! Why don’t you tell us?!”

Tiffany also looked confused. “Huh?! I…” she didn’t know what to say.

“No, I’m not artist!” Hyunjoong denied while shaking his head. “I’m the Vice President of Avenue Company,” he introduced himself formally.

“Really?! You are the Vice President of that company?!” Tiffany looked so shocked. She never thought Hyunjoong also came from a rich family.

Yoona also was shocked of Tiffany’s reaction. “What is this? Don’t you know him?” Yoona asked Tiffany with a frown on her face.

“Yes… we became friends today so… I know not too much about him.” Tiffany gave a force smile since everyone was looking at her in astonishment. “We have known each other for a long time… but before, our relationship are like… em… cats and dogs?” Tiffany raised her eyebrows since she was unsure if they understood what she was trying to say. “Or, maybe… in a nutshell, our relationship like Sunny and Sungmin!” she beamed as soon as she got to say the most understanding example.

“US?!” Sunny and Sungmin both blurted out. They looked into each other’s eyes after being shocked by each other because talked at the same time. Everyone else just smirked as they understood exactly what Tiffany was trying to tell.

Taeyeon got curious and asked, “So, you are not a student? You looked so young for us to assume you as a guy who is older than us 6 years… maybe? How old are you exactly?”

“No, I’m still a student.” Hyunjoong looked at Tiffany while pointing towards Soshi Girls, Super Boys and Yoona. “They are same age with you, right?” Tiffany nodded as a reply. “Since Tiffany is same age with you guys, we’re also friends! I also study at Ding Feng high school, same with Tiffany. We’re also classmates and even seatmates!”

“Oh…” Taeyeon nodded while shaping an O. “That’s make sense but I still don’t get the connection between you as a student and you as a Vice President. How did you manage it?”

“My parents were dead when I was 12 years old. So, as their only son, I must take over our family company but I’m too young for taking over such a big company without any experience. That’s why, I become the Vice President and my uncle becomes the President. He would manage all the things in my company until I finish my study. Sometimes, as the Vice President, I would look at some of the things to gain experience.”

---------------

Yuri just finished receiving her medical. Minho was waiting for her outside of the doctor room. She sat on the chair facing the doctor to discuss about her asthma. She was really comfortable and didn’t feel awkward at all with the doctor that gave her the medical since he was the doctor that she always referred to since she was little, when she firstly knew about her disease. Their relationship was very close to the point that she called him uncle instead of doctor.

“Are you okay now?” the doctor asked Yuri.

“Yes~, uncle!” she exclaimed. She really felt much better now except for her face that still pale as she had to bear extreme pain just now.

The doctor crossed his hands and looked straight into Yuri’s eyes. “Okay, now can you give an excuse for your attack this time?” Yuri just gave a force grin for the answer. “What?! Don’t tell me you left your medicine at home again?!” the doctor corrected his position and straightened his body. He stared at Yuri and paid attention to her attentively. Yuri bowed her head while closing her eyes. She pouted her lips cutely while nodding.

The doctor’s eyes went bigger when he saw Yuri’s reply. “You are really a stubborn girl! How much I have said that PLEASE PLEASE always bring your medicine no matter where you go!”

“I thought I won’t get attack anymore since it has been a long time the last one,” Yuri said shyly.

“Yuri, as we know, your asthma is not too serious… but, that doesn’t mean that it won’t attack you, no matter what, there must be an attack but it’s very rarely. Anyways, you must always be ready because it can attack no matter what you are doing, even when you are resting, understand?!” The doctor looked straight into Yuri’s eyes. He wanted her to understand fully how the condition she was in right now. He assumed her as his own daughter and he didn’t want she have to bear the extreme pain as long as it could be avoided. He leaned back against his chair. “I know you must take it easy as you still can run fast without any inconvenience, right? As I said before, your asthma attack is very rarely and it can attack you at all the time. That’s why you still can run fast conveniently as isn’t the time for your asthma attack.”

“Yes, uncle that’s why I thought I completely recovered.” Yuri lifted her hand up while straightened her body. “I promise next time, I’ll always bring my medicine!” The doctor sighed while rolling his eyes.”Why?! I said I promise!” Yuri whined while putting down her hand.

“You made a thousand promises to me but never keep it! And, now do you think I can keep my faith in you?”

“Ok, ok! I really promise this time and I’ll keep my promise! REALLY!!!” She said in confident voice and raised her eyebrows to show that she really meant it.

“All right!” the doctor finally gave up. He spotted Yuri’s bandaged hand. “But, what happened to your hand?”

Yuri pointed to her bandaged hand and mouthed, “This?” the doctor nodded. “I accidentally hurt my hand.” She looked a bit sad when talking about it. It really reminded her to piano competition. Suddenly, she blurted out after recalling something, “Ah, yes!” She immediately got excitedly and her eyes were sparkling. The doctor looked at Yuri and raised his eyebrows in astonishment after seeing Yuri’s sudden action. “Since uncle is a doctor…” the doctor looked a bit disappointed as he also got excited with Yuri for nothing and made a YES-I’M-DOCTOR-DID-YOU-JUST-KNOW expression. He still paid attention to Yuri. “Can uncle check my hand? I want my hand recover as soon as possible. I’ll take part in a piano competition around next week.”

“Give me your hand.” Yuri reached her bandaged hand to him. He opened the bandage to see the wound. Out of sudden, Yuri exclaimed her pain. “Did it hurt?”

“Of course! Uncle, please do it slowly!” Yuri just looked askance at her wound as she felt afraid that she would feel the pain once again.

The doctor checked her wound out. “I think your wound is not too serious… maybe around two or three days to recover?”

“Not too serious… but two or three days?!”

“But, if you not use this hand to do a hard and heavy work, it can help to recover faster.”

-------------

Yuri went out from the doctor room. She closed the door back after going out. She turned around, looking for Minho. Not too long after, she spotted him who kept wandering around. ‘Did he worry for me too much?’ she thought while giggling. But when thinking about it once again, she felt embarrassed because she had shown him this weak side of her. Minho saw Yuri and smiled at her. Yuri slowly walked towards him while rubbing her neck with a force smile on her face. Looking at her expression like that, Minho felt much relief.

“Are you okay now?” he asked and smiled when she was standing in front of him.

“Yes.” She pointed to him and gave a warning. “But, from now on, you can’t treat me like I’m a weak person, okay?” She looked at him with a frown on her face. He crossed his hands while flashing a sweet smile to Yuri. “Huh?” she raised her eyebrows.

Minho took a few steps approaching her. Her heart pounded and she anxiously stared straight to Minho’s lips that touched her lips a few hours ago. “All right, little girl!” he patted her head like he was patting a little girl that had done a good job.

Yuri pouted her lips and glared at Minho, “Are you making fun of me?!”

“Nope!” he shook his head. “Let’s go! They’re must wondering where we have been.”

“By the way, you must not tell anything about this to them.” Yuri gave him another warning.

Minho agreed to Yuri’s request but not completely, “But, if they ask, I won’t cooperate with you and kept lying. I’ll the truth. So, don’t ask the help from me.”

“If you don’t mention about it, they won’t ask, right?!” Yuri gave another glare to Minho.

“But, your face is as white as corpse!”

“What?!” this time, Yuri gave Minho a death glare.

Minho was a bit surprised when seeing Yuri’s death glare since she hasn’t shown it before. He stuttered while chuckling, “I… I meant your face is so pale and deathly. I bet they will ask!”

“No, they won’t!” Yuri replied angrily. They kept arguing with each other. Surprisingly, although Yuri got an attack today, she didn’t feel sad at all. In fact, she felt happier. She didn’t know how but she got closer to Minho. Now, they could even joke around and argue with each other.

Minho recommended something to stop their argument. “Ok, let’s bet on this! The loser must do a request by the winner.” Yuri didn’t show any refused expression and she looked agreed with it. “Deal?” Minho pointed to Yuri.

“Deal!” Yuri pointed back to Minho.

---------------

Yuri and Minho arrived at Soshi Girls’ villa. They saw everyone was here. There were altogether about 12 people here including themselves. It was really fun and noisily merry. But, instead caring about that, Yuri was more care about her condition. Minho was right. Her face was really pale to the point that it’s impossible for anyone not realized it. She anxiously took a seat beside Tiffany. As expected, Tiffany took a look at her face. ‘Did she realize it?’ Yuri thought while looking anxiously at Tiffany who was observing her face. Everyone else also started giving their attention to Tiffany and Yuri especially Minho.

“Did you get your attack again?” Tiffany out of a sudden asked. She just asked like she already knew about Yuri’s disease. Because of that, Yuri got more shocked than she expected to be. She didn’t expect that it would be such a straightforward question. Yuri looked at Minho like she was asking for help. Minho just turned his head to the left. He was biting his lower lips to hide his laugh. Tiffany’s question meant Minho won the bet.

Yuri hove a deep sigh. She turned her head back to Tiffany. “Yes.”

“So, you really have asthma?” Yoona asked. “Why don’t you tell us?”

“Don’t worry. It’s not too serious.”

Tiffany held Yuri’s hands. “I’m sorry.”

“Huh? Why?” Yuri raised her eyebrows. “Oh… it’s not your fault. As I said before, my asthma is not too serious. My asthma attack is very rarely but it comes not matter when. So, I got my attack today not because I ran but it’s the time for my attack. Ok?” She raised her eyebrows asking Tiffany if she got what she meant. “So, don’t feel guilty at all.” Tiffany nodded hesitantly as a reply.

Seeing Yuri’s disease problem had been solved, Sunny recommended. “Since everyone is here, why don’t we have a dinner together?” Her eyes were sparkling looking at everyone. She waited for the reaction that would be given by everyone.

“That’s a great idea!” out of nowhere, Sungmin exclaimed. They looked around to find where Sungmin’s voice came from as he wasn’t with them in the living room. It turned out that Sungmin just got out from the washroom but he still managed to hear Sunny’s recommendation. They just looked at Sungmin with a smirk on their face. “Why? Did I say something wrong?” he raised his eyebrows. He wondered why everyone gave him a suspicious look. They were a bit shocked not because Sungmin managed to hear Sunny’s voice even in the washroom but they got shocked of how Sungmin agreed with Sunny’s recommendation because it’s really once in a blue moon.

Sunny immediately interrupted, “Ok, I think everyone agree with my recommendation, right?!”

Out of a sudden, Yoona raised her hand up and volunteer herself. “I’ll cook for today’s dinner!” She got up and gone to the kitchen.

“I’ll be her assistance!” Donghae also volunteer himself. He got up and headed to the kitchen.

“Donghae, since when you become this hard-working?” Wooyoung jeered. Donghae stick his tongue out to Wooyoung and then, immediately gone to the kitchen.

--------------

Yoona took out all the needed things from the cabinet and refrigerator and put them on the table. She washed her hands. She took a knife and started cutting the vegetables. Meanwhile, instead of helping Yoona, Donghae just stood beside her. He crossed his hands and stared at Yoona’s face while smiling widely.

“Aren’t you going to help me instead of staring at me like that?”

Donghae chuckled and then he replied, “What can I do? I couldn’t help it because my girlfriend is too beautiful!” he rubbed his chin, “I should be careful if there’s a guy look at you!”

“What the~” Yoona smiled bashfully and seriously her cheeks turned red because of Donghae’s compliment.

Donghae beamed after seeing Yoona’s red cheeks. “I think it’s the time to show my skill!” Yoona turned her head to Donghae. She raised her eyebrows asking if he really meant it. Donghae nodded and took the knife from Yoona’s hand. Instead of asking Yoona to move to the side to give the space for him to cut the vegetables, he just went to behind her and wrapped his hands around her thin waist.

She patted his hands. “Yah! What are you doing?!” she scolded him but she couldn’t help, smiled at the same time.

Donghae chuckled and let go his hold from Yoona’s waist. Yoona just about to move to the side to give the space for Donghae but immediately her arm got grabbed by Donghae. “Where are you going? Just stay here!” Donghae pointed to the space in front of him. Yoona smiled and she walked back to where she stood before. Donghae rested his chin on Yoona’s shoulder and started to cut the vegetables with Yoona was standing between him and the table. From behind, it looked like Donghae was back hugging Yoona.

“Wow, your skill is good!” Yoona praised while seeing at how the way Donghae cut the vegetables.

“Of course! Your boyfriend is capable to do anything!” Donghae replied proudly. “But, don’t you think I must be rewarded?”

Yoona immediately turned her head towards Donghae. “Huh? Reward?” Donghae poked his cheek asking Yoona to give a kiss on his cheek. Yoona smiled and slowly drew her lips to Donghae’s cheek. But before her lips touched Donghae’s cheek, Donghae immediately turned his head and gave a surprise kiss on Yoona’s lips. Yoona’s eyes went bigger as she was shocked but after a few seconds later, she couldn’t help and smiled.

Out of a sudden, they heard someone was cleaning . Donghae and Yoona immediately turned their head to the direction of the voice. “I wonder when our dinner will be ready,” Taeyeon said while crossing her hands. Yoona gave a force smile while Donghae rubbed his neck.

--------------

“Dinner is ready!” Yoona informed after finishing making the preparation. Everyone took their seat one by one.

“Wow, it’s tasty!” Onew praised after taking a sip of the soup. Yoona smiled as a reply for Onew’s compliment.

“Of course! Whose girlfriend is that?” Donghae said proudly.

“Ok, ok! Just eat your food! Everyone knows Yoona is your girlfriend!” Sungmin replied as he was annoyed with Donghae who kept showing off his girlfriend. Yoona’s face turned red as she felt shy and embarrassed with her childish boyfriend.

“Tiffany, we have discussed about this matter among us except Yuri,” Taeyeon started a topic.

“Why? What is the matter that you have discussed without me? It’s important?” Yuri asked.

“We suggest that Tiffany moves to our villa,” Jessica explained.

“Really? That’s great!” Yuri exclaimed.

Yoona asked, “Fany-ah! What your opinion about this?”

“Sure!” she showed her eye-smile as soon as she answered. “It was really lonely to stay alone.”

“Tonight, you just sleep here. Tomorrow, we’ll move your things.”

“But, are you guys still have an empty room?”

“No but you can use mine. We share room, okay?” Yoona suggested.

“I have a lot of things since I came from abroad. Do you think it’s really okay?” Tiffany asked Yoona.

Yuri immediately suggested a better idea. “Or, maybe… Yoona shares the room with me and Tiffany can use Yoona’s room.”

“Ok, that’s better!” Yoona exclaimed. She looked at Tiffany waiting for her answer.

“Ok!” Tiffany nodded while beaming.

-------------

Sunny volunteered herself, “I’m off to throw out the trash!” She walking to the door while bringing along a black plastic bag in her hand and got out from the villa.

Donghae approached Sungmin. “Go help her!” he pushed him to the door.

Sungmin tried to stop him. “Why?! She can go by herself! Besides, there’s only a plastic bag!”

Taeyeon helped Donghae by persuading Sungmin to go helping Sunny. “Sungmin, just go! That plastic bag is heavy! Besides, it is already night. She is a girl and I’m worried about her safety.”

Donghae still tried to push Sungmin. “Ok, ok! I go!” Sungmin took off Donghae’s hands from his shoulder. “Why don’t you just ask me to throw out the trash instead of her?! It’s much easier, isn’t?” he whined before walking out from the villa.

“Oh, yes!” Taeyeon and Donghae exclaimed while lifting their fist up and they made a hi-5.

“I’ll take my leave now,” Minho informed. He waved his hand in the air to everyone.

Yuri got up and walked towards Minho. “So, the winner, what is your request?”She crossed her hands and looked at him.

“Em…” Minho rubbed his chin.”I don’t have any particular request. Just keep it for now. I’ll tell later, okay?” Yuri nodded and raised her eyebrows. “Ok, bye!” Minho smiled at her and walked away.

--------------

Sungmin looked around while running slowly. He spotted Sunny who was not far for him. He assumed that plastic bag very heavy since Sunny just trailed it on the ground while walking to a garbage can. He quickly chased her and took the plastic bag from her hand.

“Oh! What the…” Sunny was a bit startled since out of a sudden, she felt like someone was taking the plastic bag from her hand. She bowed her head while looking at the hand which was hanging the plastic bag on his shoulder. Her eyes were slowly moving from the hand, shoulder and finally his face. She looked very shocked with his presence and stopped walking immediately. Sungmin just continued walking. Not too long after he realized Sunny was not by his side anymore. He looked back. “Hey! Come here! Why did you stop?”

Sunny still couldn’t control her shocked face. She slowly walked towards Sungmin. “What are you doing here?!” They continued walking to the garbage can.

“Don’t think that I came here and take this trash because of you. Instead, I pity at this trash! Even it is heavy, how could you just trail it on the road?!” Sungmin said in a cool way. He just looked straight and didn’t care to take even a glance at Sunny when talking to her.

“Ceh!” She rolled her eyes. “Who said I was thinking that?! Don’t worry! I’ll never have a thought like that! NEVER!!!”

“All right, that’s really great to hear!”

Out of a sudden, Sunny’s phone rang. She immediately checked her cell phone out. It wasn’t a call but she received a message. “Oh! Leeteuk oppa!!!” after reading the message, she exclaimed excitedly while jumping around.

“Where? Where is him?!” Sungmin asked while looking around anxiously.

“He’s not here! But, he sent me a message!”

“What the… Aish!” he exclaimed angrily. “You got me worried for nothing!” he mouthed.

“Hey, can you ask Donghae to lend me the car?” Sunny asked.

“Why should I do that for you? Just ask him by yourself!” Sungmin replied angrily. Actually, he wasn’t angry at Sunny but he still kept thinking about Leeteuk in his mind. He got really angry after Leeteuk was mentioned.

“It’s okay. I’ll ask him by myself. I don’t care about that as long as I’m still happy!” she really looked excitedly and kept jumping cutely like a little girl.

“Yah! Where are you going with the car?!”

“Tomorrow, Leeteuk oppa will arrive from Busan. He said he’ll visit me for a day. He asked me to take him at the train station.”

“CAN’T!!!” out of a sudden, he blurted out angrily. Sunny looked at him in astonishment. “I… I meant I want to follow!”

“Why?!”

“What did you mean by ‘why’?! I just want to meet hyung! Is that wrong?!” he raised his eyebrows. “Nope, right? So, I’ll drive the car. Wait for me at your villa, understand?!”

“Ok~” Sunny replied lazily while raising one of her eyebrows.

-------------

Donghae,Onew and Wooyoung already went home so, Sungmin just went straight to his villa. Sunny entered the villa alone. Now, the only guy was left was Hyunjoong. “I think I should go home now.” He smiled and then he looked at Yoona. “Yoona, thanks for the dinner. It’s really mouthwatering!” He said while showing a thumb-up.

“Ah, yes. Thank you.” Yoona smiled back to him.

“Fany-ah, I’ll take my leave now.” He walked to the door and got out from the villa.

“I’ll accompany him to his motorbike,” Tiffany informed. She ran to the door and chased Hyunjoong. Hyunjoong spotted her and stopped walking to wait for her. She smiled after reaching in front of him. They walked side by side to his motorbike. “Thanks for staying with me for today. I’m really happy.”

“It’s okay. I’m also happy being with you.”

“You must be extremely tired, right? Since you didn’t take any sleep. So, tonight make sure you sleep well.”

“Yes.” he nodded. He got on his motorbike and put on the helmet. “Bye!” he said before riding away.

“Bye!” she said excitedly while waving her hands in the air. After seeing Hyunjoong gone from her sight, she turned her body and walked back to Soshi Girls’ villa. She was really happy today and it seemed like she couldn’t stop from kept showing her eye-smile. She walked happily and sometimes she would jump around when thinking about Hyunjoong. “Arghh!” she suddenly shouted and her body was frozen. Her heart was beating faster and she felt extremely afraid and nervous. She was surprised by the five heads that popped up from the door. All the five pair of eyes was locking on Tiffany. “What the heck?!!!” automatically, she shouted in English since she felt very angry while stomping her legs after confirming that they were Yuri, Yoona, Taeyeon, Jessica and Sunny who stared at her. They all just laughed at Tiffany. “What are you guys doing here? You guys scared me to death!” Tiffany tapped her chest while heaving a deep breath.

Yuri walked towards Tiffany and put her hand on her shoulder. “We just want to investigate your REAL relationship with Hyunjoong.”

Yoona walked to another side of Tiffany and also put her hand on her shoulder. “We become detectives in order to find out your secret,” she joked.

“What is ‘real relationship’?” she asked while turning her head towards Yuri. Then, she turned her head towards Yoona and asked, “What is ‘secret’?” Tiffany looked at both of them in astonishment.

“Eh~ don’t pretending you not get what we meant!” Sunny gave Tiffany a suspicious look. “Your relationship with Hyunjoong must be more than friends, right?”

“Nope!” she shook her head. She lifted her hand up. “We are only friends! I swear! Only friends! Not more than that!”

“So, can you tell us why you acted like a little child after sending him?” Jessica asked. She raised her eyebrows while smirking.

“I… I…” She tried to give the most suitable answer. “Wait!” she blurted out. “How long did you guys being here?!”

“As soon as you got out, we peeked at you!” Taeyeon told the truth.

“Aish… you guys are really…” Tiffany took a deep breath. “Seriously, I don’t have any special relationship with Hyunjoong. We’re just friends! Okay?!” She raised her eyebrows. “Besides, I already have boyfriend.”

“Boyfriend? Really?!” Sunny got excited as soon as Tiffany mentioned about her boyfriend. “Where is him? Why don’t you introduce him to us? I want to see him!”

“He’s not here.”

“What?!”

“He is an American. I just came alone here.”

“Wow!” Sunny cheered while clapping her hands excitedly. “You’re really lucky! Next time, ask him to come here! I really want to see him. He must be very good-looking, right?”

Taeyeon patted Sunny’s shoulder. “Hey! What about your dat… opps!” she covered her own mouth from saying the things that were not supposed to. “Maybe it’s too earlier!” she added while chuckling.

Sunny looked at Taeyeon with a frown in her face. “Taeyeon-ah, what are you talking about?!”

“I… I meant your spending time with Sungmin.” Taeyeon corrected her words. “How was it?”

“Huh? Why did you get curious?” Sunny looked a bit shocked. “Well… nothing much. But, we not argued with each other as much as usual.” Sunny suddenly got excitedly. “By the way, tomorrow Sungmin and I will take Leeteuk oppa at the train station!”

“Sunny-ah, did I hear wrongly?” Jessica was in disbelief. “Did you ever mention Sungmin in your last sentence?”

“Yes, I mentioned him.” Sunny nodded. “He wants to follow me. He said he also wants to meet Leeteuk oppa. So, what can I do more?”

“By the way, who is Leeteuk oppa?” Yoona asked.

“He is my childhood’s friend. We’re very close since we are little.”

---------------

Tiffany and Jessica were in the living room. They were watching television. Tiffany was watching television attentively but not with Jessica. Tiffany took a look at her. “Hey, you looked very sleepy. Why don’t you go to your room and sleep?”

“That’s would be great if I can do it!” Jessica replied. “But, I can’t.” she shook her head to get rid of her sleepiness. “I have more important thing to do. What time is it?”

Tiffany looked at her watch. “11.00 p.m.”

“One more hour?!” she looked at Tiffany with a frown on her face. “It’s okay. I’ve to bear with it… I’ve to bear with it…” she kept repeating that words while tapping her cheeks. But, as she tapped her cheeks, her eyes felt heavier and slowly she closed her eyes involuntary. “Arggh! I CAN’T FALL INTO SLEEP!!!” she suddenly got up and reminded herself. She kept wandering around to get rid of her sleepiness.

Tiffany’s eyes were following Jessica but her mind is thinking about something. “One hour? That means 12 a.m.” she mouthed. Then, she called Jessica and asked, “Sica, what you want to do at 12 a.m.?” Jessica about to answer her question but got interrupted by Tiffany. “Oh! Tomorrow is Onew’s birthday, right? So… you plan to be the first person to say ‘Happy Birthday’ to him. Am I right?” she pointed to Jessica excitedly and her eyes were sparkling. Jessica nodded as a reply. “Come here! I’ll help you get rid of your sleep in no time!”

Jessica sat down on the sofa back which was facing Tiffany. “What it is?” she looked at Tiffany eagerly.

Tiffany smirked and asked, “Do you really love Onew that much?!” Jessica was very shocked as her eyes went bigger. “I think your sleepiness is a bit less after hearing what I said, right?”

“Eh~ don’t say that on purpose!” Jessica scolded Tiffany while tapping her arm. Jessica looked around to make sure there was no member of Super Boys around them. “As I said before, I can’t let Super Boys find out about this. They always sneak in our villa especially Donghae and sometimes Wooyoung too. They would meet with their own girlfriend. So, you must be careful next time, okay?”

“Sica, don’t you still get it? Even you don’t express you love, they may still find out from the way you acted.”

“What did you mean?”

“Ok, let’s say… you are willing to wait although you are sleepy in order to be the first person to say ‘Happy Birthday’ to him. Now, can you tell me is there any friend would do that if they don’t have any special feelings?” Tiffany raised her eyebrows. “Can you tell me?” Jessica was speechless. She couldn’t reply to Tiffany, yes Tiffany was right. She indirectly had shown her feelings to Onew. “And, I think the easiest way to solve this problem is… just separate with your boyfriend! I can’t bear to see you and Onew like this!”

“But, you know… I can’t…”

Tiffany immediately interrupted lazily while making her eyes smaller, “Yes, I know. You are going to say the same excuse again.” Then, she leaned against the sofa and focused again on watching television. “But, I really pray that you will separate with your boyfriend as soon as possible,” Tiffany said boldly.

“Eh! Fany-ah~”

Tiffany got up from the sofa and faced Jessica.” Please think wisely what I have said, okay?” She patted Jessica’s shoulder. She looked at her watch. “There are 30 minutes more before 12 a.m. I think I have helped you to get rid of your sleepiness now, right?”

Jessica nodded. “Yes, I feel better. Thanks.”

“I think I should help Yoona to organize her things.” Tiffany pointed to Yoona’s room. Jessica nodded as a reply. “And, make sure you’ll be the first person to say ‘Happy Birthday’ to Onew after all the effort you had put into.” Jessica nodded once again as a ‘yes’ answer.

-----------------

Tiffany entered Yoona’s room. She spotted Yoona who was sitting on the bed while putting the things into a box. Tiffany lied down on the bed beside Yoona. “Arghhh~” she exclaimed in a satisfactory voice. Yoona looked at her while smiling. “Can I help?” she asked Yoona.

“No, it’s okay. There was not much left. I almost finish. Where is Yuri?”

“I think she is sleeping. She must feel tired and weak from the attack.”

“What were you doing just now?”

“Helping Jessica to get rid of her sleepiness. She said she wants to be the first person to say ‘Happy Birthday’ to Onew.” Tiffany took a look at her watch. “There’s more 5 minutes before 12 a.m. I think she must have gone to Super Boys’ villa.” Tiffany spotted a ring on Yoona’s finger, it’s not the wooden ring that Yuri, Yoona and her wore. She immediately got up, corrected her position and rested her chin on Yoona’s shoulder. “Who gave that to you?” Tiffany pointed to that ring that she was curious about.

“Donghae gave it to me… during my birthday.”

“Oh~ he is such a romantic guy. You are very lucky!” Tiffany started to tickle Yoona while smirking.

“Argh~ Fany-ah! What are you doing?!” Yoona tried to stop Tiffany from tickling her but Tiffany just ignored her. “It’s ticklish!!! Arghhh~” she shouted. They both kept playing together.

Jessica went to Super Boys’ villa. She entered and saw Donghae, Sungmin and Wooyoung who were in the living room. It seemed like they still didn’t go sleep.

“Oh, hi!” Jessica greeted them happily while waving her hands in the air.

“Sica, what brings you here?” Wooyoung asked.

“Where is Onew?” she asked while looking around.

“I think he is in his room,” Sungmin replied.

“Ok, thanks!” she exclaimed before running to Onew’s room. She stopped for a while in front of Onew’s room while catching her breath. She looked at the clock. It showed 11.59 a.m. She counted the countdown excitedly and nervous at the same time. “10… 9… 8… 7… 6… 5…. 4… 3… 2… 1…” She quickly opened the door of Onew’s room. “HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!” she shouted excitedly. As she was very excited, she closed her eyes and jumped around while spreading her arms out. Nevertheless, she couldn’t hear any reply from Onew. She immediately opened her eyes. She couldn’t see him around. “Onew! Onew!” she called for him while looking around. Not too long after, she spotted him on his bed. “Onew, are you sleeping?!” she asked in anxious voice. It seemed he’s really sleeping since he didn’t give any response to Jessica. “How could you sleep at ease after what I have done?!” Jessica whined. “Onew, wake up!” she shook his body to wake him up but he still didn’t give any response. “Aish!”

She decided to walk out from Onew’s room. “Hey, why Onew didn’t wake up even I tried to wake him up?” Jessica asked to Sungmin, Wooyoung and Donghae.

“Well… he is similar with you, Ice Princess!” Donghae replied. “He can be your prince,” Donghae joked and then he laughed. Sungmin and Wooyoung also started laughing with Donghae’s joke.

“What?!” Jessica looked at them with a frown on her face. “I don’t get it.”

“Surprisingly, he also has a habit that really same with you. Once he sleeps, he never wakes up even there is someone who tries to wake him up. Unless, he felt like he has enough sleep. It’s similar to you, right?” Wooyoung explained. “You two are really compatible with each other.”

“Eh~ wh… what are you talking about?” she stuttered. Then, she bowed while thinking. It seemed like she has to say ‘Happy Birthday’ to him when he woke up, that meant she must came again later. “Hey, boys! I want to be the first person to say ‘Happy Birthday’ to Onew. So, you guys don’t try to say ‘Happy Birthday’ to him before I said, okay?” She gave the warning while pointing to them.

“Well… we can’t promise. We will say straight to him after we wake up from sleep. So, if you want to be the first one, please make sure you come earlier in the morning.” Donghae replied.

Jessica looked hesitated. She didn’t know what to do. It’s out of questions for her to wake up earlier as she also has similar habit like Onew’s and as usual, she always would be the last person to wake up.

“It is hard, isn’t… for you to wake up earlier than usual. So, why don’t you just sleep in his room while waiting for him to wake up?” Sungmin suggested an idea.

“Sleep in his room?!” Jessica asked in shocked voice and her eyes went bigger.

He chuckled after seeing Jessica thought a ert thing. “I meant not sleep together with him, just sleep on the sofa in his room okay?” he cleared what he really meant. Jessica nodded and gave a force smile since she had embarrassed herself. She went back to Onew’s room. Their eyes were following Jessica until she disappeared in Onew’s room. Then, they made a hi-5 with each other as a sign that their plan had succeed.

Jessica entered Onew’s room and she lied down on the sofa in Onew’s room while her body was facing him. Surprisingly, just now she felt extremely sleepy but not anymore. Her sleepiness has gone and she felt a bit hard to fall asleep. She opened her eyes and automatically, when she looked straight, she would see Onew’s face. She smiled widely as she stared Onew’s face. She got up and approached him. She knelt beside the bed and stared at him in closer look. He looked so cute like a baby was sleeping. She stared at all part of his face, starting from his forehead, his nose and lastly, his soft and smooth lips. Her eyes were locked on his lips. She drew her lips slowly to his lips that she really wanted to touch. Slowly, slowly she approached, she closed her eyes and finally their lips met.

As their lips met for a few seconds, suddenly she gained her consciousness and realized what she was doing. She immediately opened her eyes and drew her face away from him. Her heart pounded and she hove a few deep breathes as she felt extremely nervous and anxious. “What I have done?!” she scolded herself while hitting her own head. Out of a sudden, Onew moved and she looked at him anxiously. She was afraid that he knew what she had done to him. Instead of opening his eyes, Onew grabbed Jessica and pulled her in by her shoulder. It ended up that Jessica was in Onew’s embrace. Jessica was very shocked of what Onew was doing and seriously, her heartbeat really too fast and she thought it’s really uncountable. She took a look at him and he’s still sleeping soundly, maybe he had a dream that caused him to hug her. Nevertheless, she couldn’t make any voice as she afraid that she would make not only Onew awake but Donghae, Sungmin and Wooyoung also might hear it. She took a deep breath while thinking what she was supposed to do in this condition. She couldn’t sleep with Onew like this. She gently grabbed Onew’s hand and lifted his hand up but her plan didn’t work. Onew moved again his body but instead let her go, he hugged her tighter.
