"Where are those two?" Anko asked looking for the fourth time to her watch

"They said they had to go somewhere before joining us here" Rin answered smiling

"But it's almost time for our performance, the kids are anxiously waiting for it" Ari complained

"They're probably arriving soon!" Mary stated "You know Yara and Xti wouldn't miss this for anything in the world 'cause they love kids too much to disappoint them"

"True but you know Yara is always the first to arrive to these kind of events so she can spend more time with the kids" Anko remembered "What can possibly be more important to her in this moment then the kids?"

"Or us..." Ari added "oh wait... probably Taemin!"

"Taemin is as important to me as you girls and of course the kids are important but we had to do something before joining you here" Yara said joining the group and startling all four girls

"You scared them" Xti laughed "You know Yara's right guys how can you even doubt about that" she then added when her laughter died down

"So... What was that something?" Anko asked

"You'll know pretty soon" Yara said smirking "Let's go girls! It's show time!"

"Oh come on" Anko grumbled as her friend headed to the dressing room

"Don't worry, I bet you'll like it" Xti smirked joining their leader

"You know what?" Anko asked "You both are the worst" she added when neither of them paid her any attention

"Come on Anko we have to get ready" Ari said while laughing

"They actually did it" Mary whispered to Rin

"Looks like it" Rin whispered back

"What are you two conspiring about" the brainiac inquired

"Nothing, why would we even be conspiring? Geez..." Rin answered

"Who knows you sometimes can be a little..." Anko said "Hey! I'm not finished." she added as the girls passed her and joined the other three that were a bit ahead of them

"We can't be late" Mary said as Anko joined the group hurriedly

"If they had come sooner we wouldn't be in such an hurry." said girl protested

"Stop complaining and get ready 'cause we're next" Ari stated

"Alright! Alright! I'm already getting ready! Geeeez"

"Girls you're in in 2 min!"

"Thanks Miss Cho"

With the boys, near the end of the performance:

"Are you ready Key?" Onew asked

"I don't know... What if she says no?" Key said as his nerves were getting to him again

"I think her answer is going to be positive, but you'll have to at least try asking or we'll never really know" Jonghyun comforted his friend

"But..."

"No buts hyung. You'll have to eventually do it, so it's better sooner than later" Minho tried to encourage him "besides don't you think it's a bit late to back out since you're here already?"

"And in addition you're the almighty Key what possibly could go wrong?" Siwon added

"Here they come" Taemin said as the girls got out of the building

"Hey" the girls greeted

"So... what are your thoughts?" Xti asked

"In what exactly" Minho asked

"Our little secret" Mary answered after kissing his cheek

"I didn't quite get it" Onew said

"All you did was perform for orphan children" Jonghyun said as if it wasn't something relevant for the case

"Exactly but as Onew said you don't get it" Anko said rolling her eyes

"Calm down Anko!" Ari said putting an hand on her shoulder then turned to the boys "We do it so we can cheer up the little ones! Have you ever come to an orphanage on a normal day?"

"Not really" was the boys answer

"You should try and then you'd understand our cause better" Anko said

"So this is your big secret?" Minho asked

"No, as your girlfriend said, this is our little secret" Ari laughed "At its time you'll know what the big one is"

"Where's Yara?" Key asked

"Probably still with the kids" Xti replied "you guys should really see how she is with the kids it's just..."

"Can you take us to where she is?" Taemin interrupted

"Sure, why not?" she said "Come fast or we'll miss it"

"Miss what?" Onew asked

"Listen and you'll know" Rin replied smiling as they headed to a small room from where you could hear some child music

"This is the kids singing?" Minho asked surprised

"Yes and Yara's one of the adult voices" Mary replied opening the door slowly

"Ok kids time to nap" Mrs. Park, the caretaker, said after they finished the song making the kids fuse and complain

"I'll be back tomorrow, but only if you'll be on your best behavior and that means you'll have to do as Mrs. Park and miss Cho say" Yara said

"Will you sing us to sleep?" one of the kids asked

"I would love to but I have my friends waiting for me" Yara said pointing to the group that was at the door

"Oohhh..."

"We can wait! And I bet the boys are really curious and eager to listen to you sing" Anko said laughing

"Please sing" the kids begged

"Go ahead, I'm actually curious." Key smiled as the girl looked at him apologetically

"Thanks and sorry" she muttered to him as the group followed the kids and the caretakers to their nap room. One by one the kids layed down on their own spots and once everyone was set Yara started to sing while Anko and Mary accompanied with the guitars, Ari and Xti doing coir and Rin just humming along. By the time they finished the lullaby the kids were all sleeping peacefully making the group say their goodbyes to the two women and leave the room all in the as silently possible.

"I know we already told you this, but you girls are simply amazing" Siwon said once they were out of the orphanage

"Believe me we know!" Mary laughed "We just have different specialties. Xti is basically good with anything music related, Anko is pretty good with memorizing and rationality, Yara's specializes in dancing and taking care of children and animals, Rin besides being quite clumsy has a gift for persuading and getting along with people, Ari's the fastest in reading and she actually practices judo, meaning she's stronger than she looks and finally I'm the best in sports. Actually there is one more girl in our group but she wasn't able to come with us due to personal stuff, anyway she's pretty much our Key"

Seeing the boys confused faces Xti stepped in to explain "Her name is Mia and she's the one that normally chooses our outfits making her the fashionista, actually most of our clothes are made by her" receiving an "Oh!" as a response from the guys

"Well, look at the time! We should be going" Ari said while holding hands with Jonghyun

"Anko dear could you go to the groceries please. There are some things missing at home" Xti asked the brainiac getting a list out of her bag

"Sure, why not?" she said "Who's coming with me?"

"I can't go." Yara said "Me and Tae are going to talk to Kai before he changes his mind and doesn't want to talk to us again"

"It's our day to take care of Dom" Mary said while pointing to herself and Minho

"Ari? Rin?" Anko hopefully asked

"No can do" Rin answered "I promised I would help some of our colleagues"

"Me neither. Me and Jonghyun have a date and can't continue to postpone it. Our practices toke more of our time then we though"

"I'll have to go by myself?" Anko asked "Can't it stay for tomorrow?"

"No, some of the items are essentials that already ran out" Xti informed her " And before you ask I have to prepare our next mix you know how long that takes and that I should start as soon as I can"

"I really hate to go alone to get the groceries" she complained

"I actually have some things to take care near the store so I'll keep you company!" Siwon offered
