“Are they all at home? I can’t wait to see them!” Mike seemed too excited as they were not far from Soshi Girls’ villa. He was aware that Tiffany wasn’t walking by his side anymore which caused him to turn back. “Why? What’s wrong?”

Tiffany didn’t give any response as she was still in shock. Her eyes were straight towards Hyunjoong who was also staring at them. Honestly, she wasn’t still ready to face this situation but she knew she couldn’t avoid it anymore.

Mike approached Tiffany. “Is there anything wrong?” He held her hand while staring at her in concern. She looked down at her hand which was being held by Mike. Before she could realize about him approaching, he already stood in front of them.

“Fany-ah, hi!” Hyunjoong tried to give the most cheerful greet as he could. He really hoped they won’t be able to guess his real feelings. Tiffany looked at him in confusion. “Where have you been? You know how long I have waited?” He folded his arms while smiling.

Tiffany couldn’t respond anything because she never expected such different reaction from him. “I… I…”

“Who is him?” Mike asked Tiffany with full of curiosity.

“Huh? He’s…” She paused for a while before answering hesitantly. “My friend.”

“Friend? Really? Are you close to him?”

“Y… yes…” She nodded hesitantly. “He’s even my seatmate in school.”

“Oh, really? Then, I guess you guys must be really close.” Mike didn’t seem have any doubt in their relationship. Instead, he looked quite happy. “Hi!” He gladly reached towards Hyunjoong.

Hyunjoong smiled back and took Mike’s hand for a shake hand.

“He’s my boyfriend.” Tiffany introduced Mike to Hyunjoong in worry.

“Oh, yes. I heard about you before. It’s nice to see you.” Hyunjoong replied cheerfully.

Tiffany looked quite confused. Honestly, she didn’t expect that he was okay with it… she meant… she thought his feelings… Did she think too much? Did only her that feel... No!!! She kept reminding herself that she didn’t feel anything!

“I’m Kim Hyunjoong!” Hyunjoong introduced himself while smiling widely.

Didn’t he feel anything at all? Tiffany looked quite disappointed though she had tried to hide it. Since he seemed so happy, she should pretend to be happy too.

“I’m Mike.” Mike replied.

Hyunjoong laughed and talking in Korean to Tiffany. “Hahaha… what kind of name is that? Is he mice?”

“What?” Tiffany asked in confusion with a frown on her face.

“He said his name is mice. What a funny name. Is he one kind of mice? Haha…” Hyunjoong kept laughing.

Tiffany went to Hyunjoong’s side. “Hey, my boyfriend is not mice!” She said while shaking his arm.

“Are you sure?” He looked at Tiffany while raising his eyebrows. He let out a chuckle.

“He’s Mike! Not mice!”

“Is the same, isn’t it?”

“What same?! My boyfriend is not some kind of animal! It’s K, not C! Mike, okay?”

Mike looked at Tiffany and Hyunjoong in confusion. However, he was still smiling. He could sense that they were really close to each other. “Excuse me? What are you two talking about?”

“Oh? Actually, I said that your…”

“Wait!” Tiffany covered Hyunjoong’s mouth with her hand. “Do you want to die?” She gave him a death glare.

“Why? What’s wrong?” Mike seemed confused of these two’s action.

Hyunjoong managed to put away Tiffany’s hand from his mouth easily. “Why not telling him? He wants to know, right?”

“Yeah~” Mike nodded.

“Actually, we are talking about…” Tiffany got very anxious as he was explaining. “I just said that you two make a great couple.” She finally hove a relief sigh.

“Just that?” Mike looked really shocked since it was not like he expected. “Are you sure?”

“Yes.”

“Then, why is she acting like that?”

“I’m wondering about the same too.” Hyunjoong smiled widely. “She is just over-reacting!” He pinched her cheek.

“Ah! It hurts!” Tiffany hit his arm.

He just let out a chuckle. “Anyways, I have to go now.” He said to Mike. She looked at his face and her expression changed.

“Ok, hope to see you next time.” Mike replied friendlily.

Hyunjoong looked at Tiffany. “I’m off. See you.” He patted her head while giving a warm smile.

He walked away leaving them alone. As they couldn’t see his face anymore, he took a deep breath. It was really hard for him to pretend that he was okay in front of them. Seeing her boyfriend really made him felt hurt. He felt relieved as he managed to cover up what he really felt inside his heart.

As he kept thinking about that, he didn’t realize that Sunny was in front of him until he bumped into her.

“Ouch!”

Hyunjoong immediately looked at her. “Oh, Sunny? Are you okay? I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay, it’s okay, I’m alright.” She replied with a smile. “What’s wrong with you? What was on your mind until you wasn’t aware of me in front of you?”

“Huh?” He started to feel anxious, afraid that Sunny might figured it out. “N… nothing!”

“Oh…. Ok, then.” She could sense there was something wrong but since Hyunjoong didn’t want to tell, she just gave up. “Anyways, do you come to see Tiffany?”

“Yes… I’ve seen her.”

“Ok, bye.”

“Bye.” Hyunjoong smiled before walking away.

Sunny looked ahead and saw Tiffany. “Fa…” She was about to call for her but stopped when seeing there was another guy with her. He wasn’t even a Korean. “Is that her boyfriend?” She asked herself and then smiled widely before calling for Tiffany. “Fany-ah!” She ran towards them.

Both of Mike and Tiffany turned around. “Is that one of your friend?” He asked happily. Tiffany gave a nod with a small smile.
“Fany-ah, Fany-ah, Fany-ah, who is this?!” Sunny asked in over-excitement like she never saw an American guy before.

Tiffany smiled. “My boyfriend.”

“Oh, really?! Wow, he is sooo~ good-looking!” Sunny exclaimed while smiling widely towards Mike.

“Hi, I’m Mike!” He reached to Sunny.
“Hi.” Sunny took his hand. However, out of the blue, He pulled Sunny towards himself and gave her a hug and kissed her cheek. Sunny looked very shocked but at the same time, she was still smiling widely.

“Hey, don’t do that to a girl you just met!” Tiffany scolded Mike.

“It’s okay, it’s okay~ I don’t mind~” Sunny replied with her cuteness. “I won’t take your boyfriend.” She said to Tiffany in Korean back.

“Ceh!” Tiffany rolled her eyes while chuckling. “That doesn’t what I meant. You are always like this when seeing a good-looking guy! I wonder how long you can stay loyal to Sungmin.” She teased Sunny.

“Hey, that’s different! I’m just a fan of good-looking guys but Sungmin…” She paused for a while. “WAIT! H… h… how did you know?”
“What?”

“Sungmin and I…”

“Yuri told us.”

“Us? Does that mean everyone has known about it?” Sunny looked very shocked because she still didn’t tell anyone about the development her relationship with Sungmin. Only Yuri had known about it.

“Yes, you know what, the last time she went home to take something, she shouted it loudly in our villa.”

“WHAT?!” Sunny’s eyes went bigger. “Aish! That girl is really…”

“What are you so embarrassed about?” Tiffany patted Sunny’s arm. “You know what, from the start, I already sensed that you like each other.”

Sunny’s cheeks turned red. Isn’t that she felt embarrassed to admit her relationship with Sungmin but she just was worried that all of them would and Sungmin because how they used to argue like kids before. She cleaned , trying to change the topic and just then, she remembered that Mike was still with them.

He looked very confused what Tiffany and Sunny were talking about. “Ha! Sorry for forgetting about you.” Sunny grinned to Mike. “Anyways, my name is Sunny.”

“Oh, Sunny? Wow, your name really suits you, bright like sun!”

“Ah, yes! Let’s get into our villa.”

Sunny, Tiffany and Mike walked towards Soshi Girls’ villa. Mike whispered to Tiffany. “Your friend is really awesome!” She replied with a wide smile.

-----------

“This is Taeyeon, Jessica and Yoona.” Tiffany introduced the three of them to Mike.

“Hi, I’m Mike.”

“Hi!” All of them answered while shaking hands with Mike.

“So, those are all your friends?”

“Yes, there is one more, Yuri but she’s not here right now.”

“I see…” Mike nodded. “You’re all are so pretty.”

“Thanks.”

“Well, Jessica… are you coming from America too?”

“I was born in America and what is so amazing is I was born at the same hospital as Tiffany’s.”

“Oh, really?”

“Yes but we only got to know each other this year in Korea. It’s maybe a destiny?” Jessica and Tiffany looked at each other and smiled.

“Where are you going to stay? At hotel?” Taeyeon asked Mike.

“Well… I’m not sure, maybe…”

“Hey, why don’t you stay at my apartment?” Tiffany asked.

“Do you have an apartment here?”

“Yes, it’s empty right now. I’m used to stay there before moving here.”

“Alright but…” Mike held Tiffany’s hand. “Why don’t we stay there together?” He gave a naughty smile to Tiffany.

“WHAT?!” She exclaimed loudly. The girls were cheering for what had been said by Mike. “Hey, it’s… I… we…” She kept stuttering because how embarrassed she was right now. “How can you say that?! That doesn’t make any sense!” She scolded him.

Mike laughed. “I’m just kidding, ok? Relax!”

“You are really embarrassing me!” Tiffany hit his arm lightly.

----------

Sunny came back to the hospital while bringing along a plastic bag with her which contained Sungmin’s cloth as he could be discharged today.

She came into Sungmin’s ward carefully and slowly, trying to not make him realized about her presence. He was reading a magazine only with his one hand as his other hand was still injured.

“Aish! What’s taking her so….” He muttered angrily while placing the magazine on the bed which shocked him as Sunny was staring at him behind the magazine. “Argh!” Sunny grinned as she saw his shocked face. “Yah! What are you doing?!”

“Ceh! Such a coward guy!” She put his cloth on the table beside his bed.

“Yah! What do you mean by a coward?! Who won’t be shocked if you did that?!” She looked at him while raising one of her eyebrows. “Anyways, why did you come so late? Did you go anywhere?” He sounded firm.

“Why? Did you miss me that much?” She smirked.

“Who said I miss you? Ceh! You know what, I just wanted you to pour a glass of water for me. I feel so thirsty.” He cleaned his throat like it was so dry.

“Ceh!” Sunny rolled her eyes. She took an empty glass and poured the water into it. She gave it to Sungmin. “I met with Mike.”

“Who is Mike? Not Korean?” He drank the water.

“Tiffany’s boyfriend. You know what, he is so good-looking!” Sunny exclaimed excitedly. Sungmin’s who was drinking the water, chocked after hearing what she said. He coughed continuously. She took the glass from his hand and put it on the table. “Are you okay? Are you okay?” She asked anxiously while patting his back.

After for a while struggling with his cough, he managed to stop it. He took a deep breath.

“Are you okay now?” She looked at him with concerned face.

He stared into her eyes firmly. “What do you mean by okay? You are the one caused me to be like this.”

“W… what?!” She asked in disbelief. “W… what did I do?!”

Sungmin looked quite hesitantly before asking, “Is… Is that guy very good-looking?”

“Huh? Who?” After for a while, her lips slightly curled up as she got what this situation meant. “Mike?”

“Is him that much more good-looking than me?”

“Ceh!” She burst into chuckle. “Aigoo~ are you jealous, huh, Lee Sungmin?” She rested her arm on his shoulder while making fun of him.

“W… wh… who said I’m jealous?!”

“Really?” She laughed like she was teasing him.

“Why don’t you answer my question?! Is him that much more good-looking than me?”

“I won’t answer you!”

“Yah!”

She walked away from him, going out from the ward, “I’m going to fill your discharge form.”

“Yah! I’m not done with you yet!” Sunny turned her head to the back and stuck her tongue out at him. “Yah! Sunny! Lee Sunkyu! Come back!” However, she just ignored him. “Aish!”

----------

“Thanks, manager oppa.” Sunny said after they arrived in front of the villa.

“Ok, next time please be more careful, okay?” The manager asked Sungmin.

“Yes, I get it, hyung~” He replied before he and Sunny got off from the car. They both walked towards to the Super Boys’ villa. “Wow~ It feels so nice to be out from the hospital~” He exclaimed excitedly while looking around.

“Then, next time, you should be more careful.” She said in her mocking way.

“What?!” He stopped walking and looked at Sunny who was walking behind him. “Yah! You are talking too much, you know?”

“Ceh!” She rolled her eyes. “Who are the one talking too much?!”

“Oh, yes! I still don’t get my answer! The question about Mike!”

She looked at him while biting her lips as she seemed quite embarrassed. She answered, “It’s too obvious, isn’t? Of course, I will choose my boyfriend…” She indirectly gave her answer.

Sungmin’s lips slightly curled up as he tried to hide his happiness. Honestly, the atmosphere became quite awkward right now. They were still not used to act sweet to each other. They both were silent for a moment before he broke the silence, “Come here.”

“W… why?”

“Just come here.”

“Why?! I won’t come until you tell me why.”

“Aish! This girl… Just come here.” Sunny hesitantly came closer to him and she looked quite anxious. “What are you thinking about? Don’t think the ert things.”

“Of… of course nope! I’m… I’m not thinking anything!” She suddenly raised her voice like she had been hiding something. “Anyways, what do you want?”

“My back is quite hurt. Let me lean on you.” He wrapped his uninjured arm on her shoulder.

“Oh?” She looked quite shocked and stared at his face. He suddenly acted sweet to her which shocked her.

He realized that she was shocked and looked at her back. “Don’t misunderstanding. Just! It’s just that my back feels hurt, ok?”

“Ceh!” She rolled her eyes. “I know that!”

He turned his head away from her and bit his lips as he was holding his laugh. His back didn’t feel hurt at all like he said. It’s because he was still embarrassed to act sweet to her openly. He grabbed her arm and put it on his waist.

“Why?” Her lips slightly curled up. It seemed she found it out.

“Don’t misunderstanding. It’s just that I can’t lean on you properly.” She just raised one of her eyebrows. “That’s all. Don’t misunderstand.”

“Yes~” She replied playfully.

They entered Super Boys’ villa and she brought him to his room. He sat on the bed while Sunny took a blanket from a wardrobe. She went to the bed.

“You should rest more.” She said as she covered his body with the blanket.

He just stared at her face lovingly. “Then, are you going to leave now?”

“Why? You don’t want me to leave?” She gave a teasing smile.

“T… that’s not what I meant. Just…”

“Alright~ Then, I’m leaving now.”

“Y… yes…” He nodded hesitantly. Somehow, he didn’t know how to respond.

“Goodbye.” She gave a peck on his cheek and immediately got out from his room without seeing his reaction. It seemed like she was so embarrassed.

Sungmin looked quite shocked at first but he giggled later.

Sunny closed the door of Sungmin’s room. She couldn’t stop smiling widely. She turned around and saw Wooyoung, Donghae and Onew were standing exactly on her way. She immediately changed her expression.

“Why do you look so happy?” Wooyoung asked curiously as he smirked.

“I… it’s nothing.” She tried to avoid it. “I… I’m leaving now.” She took a few steps but Donghae blocked her way which caused her to stop. She moved to the side but Donghae followed what she did. “W… why?” Her heart started beating faster. She knew the boys must have sensed about it and they won’t let her go now without finding out what they wanted.

“There must be something, right?”

“Wh… what are you guys talking about?” She looked more anxious as time went by.

“Don’t pretend that you don’t know what we meant.”

“I… I…”

“There is something between you and Sungmin, isn’t it?”

“Well… we…” She paused for a while. “Why don’t you ask Sungmin by yourself?”

“We want your answer.”

“It’s already late. I have to go now.” Sunny immediately walked to the door and got out from the villa.

Donghae, Wooyoung and Onew just laughed. Actually, they already knew the current status of Sunny and Sungmin’s relationship, they just wanted to .

----------

The alarm had shocked Yoona with its ring. However, she turned it off and went back to sleep especially the curtain blocked the sun ray from the outside. She turned her body around and hugged something that she thought it was a pillow.

She was aware later that it was a person. “Oh, Yuri-ah… you are back?” She asked with her sleepy tone. There was no reply but Yoona didn’t think it was necessary to check as she was still sleepy and she thought Yuri might be still sleeping too.

Then, she felt that person wrapped his arm under her waist. She’s sure it didn’t make sense if that person was Yuri. “YAH! Who are you?!” She yelled in anger while giving a strong kick to him. She couldn’t see that person well as it was quite dark right now.

“Ouch!” Donghae exclaimed while rubbing his back as he fell from the bed. “Yaahh~ It’s seriously hurt! Why did you do that?!”

“W… who?” She seemed quite confused.

“Woah, you can’t even recognize my voice?”

“Donghae?” She asked before switching on the lamp. “I’m sorry~” She apologized cutely while grinning.

“Why are you so fierce?!” He held his back as he got up and took a seat on the bed.

“I thought it was a stranger!”

“Who is the stranger that you are talking about?! Is that making any sense?! We stay at a protected place!”

Yoona was speechless. When she thought back, he was right. It was almost out of question. “Who won’t be shocked if you wrapped your arm around her?!”

“Who hugged me first?” Donghae started to smile as he expected Yoona would lose to him soon in this argument.

“T… th… that… I didn’t hug you! I thought it was a pillow and after I was aware that it was person, of course I thought it was Yuri.”

“Are you telling the truth?” He stared at her while giving a teasing smile.

“O… of course! What is the most important thing right now is… what are you doing in my room?!”

“To steal something.”

“What? What do you mean?” A frown could be seen on Yoona’s face.

“This... this…” He drew his face closer to her and gave her a surprise kiss. She looked quite shocked. “How was it? You like it?”

Though she tried to not show her real feelings, her lips curled up widely. “Geez…” She pinched his nose gently. With just a kiss, they had solved their argument. “Anyways, you really did just come from that?”

“No, there is something else I want to say.”

“What is it?”

“Tonight, let’s dinner at my house.”

“Your house? You meant Super Boys’ villa?”

Donghae shook his head. “My family’s house. I want to introduce you to my parents formally. They want to see you.”

“WHAT?!” She looked very shocked.

“Why? Is there anything wrong? You already have a plan for today?”

“No, that doesn’t what I meant. Just…” She looked worried and nervous actually.

“Are you nervous?”

She nodded. “How long have you known about this plan?”

“I think around a week ago…”

“Yah! Why don’t you tell me earlier?!”

“Well… what makes it different anyway? It’s just the same, isn’t? You are still going to meet my parents.”

“At least, I can prepare myself mentally and physically!”

“Why? My mom has given her blessing to you, remember? Your relationship with my mom has gotten better, isn’t? So, what are you so scared about?”

“Yes… but we haven’t got so close yet. And, this time, I will meet with your father too, isn’t? You are going to introduce me formally, isn’t? Of course I have to look perfect in front of them.”

“What is there to fix? Your perfection is beyond the words already!”

“Ceh!” She hit his chest gently.

Donghae held both of her hands. “Don’t worry. I’m sure my parents will like you as you are, ok? If not, how can I love you so much, huh?” She finally gave a wide smile.

----------

“NOOO!!!” A shout from Yuri broke the calm atmosphere in the ward. The sun from outside brightened up the ward which meant that it wasn’t early in the morning. She opened her eyes and looked quite anxious. It seemed like she just got a nightmare.

She got up from the sofa. “Aish… Why do I keep getting a dream about that?!” She held her head, trying to calm down herself that it was just a dream. After taking a deep breath, she took a look at the bed, where she thought Minho was at. “Minho?” She looked around the ward but couldn’t find any trace of other person except herself in that ward.

She started to feel uneasy. “Minho!” She got up and put away the blanket that was covering her lower body. “Minho!” She looked into the toilet but he was also not there. “Wait! He is unable to walk… that’s impossible… he won’t go anywhere with his own unless…” She looked extremely worried. “No, no,no…” She shook her head while clasping her hand.

She decided to ask the nurse about Minho. She went to the door and opened it. However, she couldn’t come out from the ward as there was a person standing in front of her. “Hey, you have woken up?” That person greeted her brightly.

“M… Minho…” Yuri looked very shocked and of course, at the same time, felt very relief to see him. She jumped into his embrace and hugged him tightly.

“Oh, Yuri-ah…” He seemed quite shocked with her sudden hug especially he couldn’t stand properly because of one of his injured leg which caused him to be a bit stumbled. However, it seemed that his injured leg had gotten better than before as the bandage of his leg had become smaller and thinner, and the most important is that he could walk by himself but of course with the help of a crutch.

He still smiled and wrapped one of his arms around her waist. “Why? Is there anything happened?” Eventually, she broke into tears while leaning her face on his shoulder. “Are you crying?” He pushed her gently from his embrace to check if she really did cry. He looked quite shocked and worried. “W… why? What had happened? Did I do wrong?”

Yuri couldn’t answer as she was still crying. Minho closed the door of the ward and pulled her along to the bed. He put the crutch at the side and sat on the bed while making Yuri to take a seat beside him. “Ok, now… tell me what’s wrong. It’s because of me? Did I hurt you?” With his concerned eyes, he looked into her eyes.

“No… it’s because…” She couldn’t talk properly as she started to hiccup because crying too much. “I couldn’t see you… so…”

“It’s just because of that?” Honestly, her reason made he feel like laughing and also with her hiccup, she looked quite cute. He finally burst into chuckle because he was too happy at how she was worried of him.

“What the… You laugh?!” She gave him a stern stare. “Is that really amusing for you to see me crying?”

Minho smiled widely. “No, that doesn’t what I mean…” He touched her cheeks and wiped her tears gently. “Do you really like me that much?” He asked proudly.

“Wh… what? Th… that’s not it is…” She stuttered. “It’s just that… I kept dreaming about… that… your leg had to be cut…”

Minho let out a chuckle. “Even you said that it was a dream, so… a dream is just a dream, okay? Don’t think too much.” He poked her nose gently.

“Of course, I did feel scared… when I woke up, everything is exactly like what was going on in my dream… I can’t see you on the bed…” She took a long pause before exclaiming, “You can walk!”

“Of course.” Minho nodded while smiling. “How long you expect me to stay on the bed?” He asked that just to though he knew what she really meant.

“That’s not what I meant… but how can you…” She couldn’t continue her words as she was just too happy.

“Yes, my leg has got better but I still can’t walk by myself. I have to use a crutch. See.” He asked her to take a look at the small bandage of his leg. “And, you just realize this now?” He looked at her seriously.

“I’m sorry…” She smiled widely. He smiled too as he was satisfied looking at her happy face. He knew that she was just too anxious and worried about him before that caused her to not notice everything. “But, when did the doctor change your bandage? Why was I not aware of it?”

“This morning, you slept so soundly and see… it’s already 10 o’clock! Aigoo, such a lazy girl!” He pinched her cheek gently.

“Well, I’m just too tired.” She grinned.

“Then, you stay at home tonight, ok?” He knew it must be so tiring for her to stay back at the hospital.

“But…”

“It’s alright. I’m really okay, now.” He nodded. “You must be so tired. I don’t want you to get sick too because of me.” He tucked her hair behind her ear. “So, listen to me, okay?”

“Isn’t that you are the one who is hard to let me go?” She grinned widely as she could find something to .

“Well… em…” He was speechless. “Nevertheless!” He looked at her seriously. “Stick to me until this afternoon.”

“Yes, Mr. Choi Minho!” She exclaimed like a child. She sat closer to Minho.

He wrapped his arms around Yuri’s waist and rested his chin on her shoulder. “But… do you really have a dream about that?”

“Yes, I got a few similar dreams about that. That’s why, I feel so scared.”

Minho suddenly lifted his head up and looked straight into her eyes. “You… don’t tell me you still feel guilty about my leg?”

Yuri was silent for a while before hesitantly answered, “Yes… I think so.” He was just about to open his mouth to scold her but she interrupted, “I can’t control my feelings!”

“Ok, ok. But you must try your best to stop thinking about that. I don’t want you to tense yourself with such a nonsense thought like that. This isn’t your fault, so you don’t have to feel guilty at all, okay? Besides, I guess you did feel relieved now as my leg has recovered quickly, isn’t?”

“I get it.” She nodded while giving a small smile.
