Shin Hye woke up to Yong Hwa patting her shoulder to wake her up. She found herself still wrapped around him.

"Hmmmm?" she asked, a bit disoriented.

"Wake up," he whispered. "I think we slept the whole afternoon."

Shin Hye gingerly got up, stretched her arms, and yawned. When she turned to his window, it was a bit dim already.

"Baegopa?" he asked her when he thought he heard her stomach grumble.

"Ne...," she told him. "We missed lunch, after all."

The two of them got off the floor and ironed out their clothes with their hands. As the two of them looked at each other in the dark, they could not help but laugh. Of course, they could not see each other.

"Gaja," he told her.

Both of them approached the door, and Yong Hwa opened it. What greeted them were more of curiosity and y minds than worried looks from their male housemates. Jong Hyun and Min Hyuk were smiling when they saw the two getting out of the room together.

"Hyung, your mini girlfriend ate all the food for lunch!" Jung Shin complained.

"It was your fault for twirling her around," Yong Hwa spitted out.

"Scored yet, Hyung?" Seung Ho asked.

Yong Hwa looked at the youngest guy in the house. Seung Ho was definitely the youngest, but he was also starting to mature in thought--which will also mean him thinking "other" thoughts.

"You are not being loyal to your cousin," Yong Hwa pointed out again.

"Ani," Seung Ho said. "I adore my cousin so much, but I like you and Shin Hye-noona together."

Yong Hwa turned to see Jong Hyun and Min Hyuk still smiling.

"You think I scored tonight?" he asked them before turning to Shin Hye.

"Mianhae, Hyung," Jong Hyun spoke out. "You and Shin Hye had been in the room for, like, hours~~ on end."

Min Hyuk snortled when his other hyung emphasized the word "hours."

"Ya! Are you being green-minded?" Shin Hye shot at the two. 

"Can we just be in the room for hours and sleep, like, separately?" Yong Hwa asked.

Min Hyuk snortled again as he saw the two blushing and being defensive. "I really don't believe that guys can just be platonic friends with girls."

His statement earned an agreeing nod from the other three.

"Ya! Cut that out!" Yong Hwa shouted at them. "It's your fault, Jong Hyun."

"Why me again?" Jong Hyun asked innocently.

"Geunyang!" Yong Hwa defensively explained, but what a poor explanation.

"How long have you all been here?" Shin Hye asked. It was freaking her out that the guys were sneaking on them, wondering if something delicious had already happened. 

Well, almost.

"Hyung, I told you your mini girlfriend ate all the food!" Jung Shin cut in again.

"You said that already, and she is not my girlfriend!" Yong Hwa pointed out.

"Geurae! I wanted to tell you that because I had not even eaten lunch just to take care of her. And I reported to Jong Hyun-hyung, Min Hyuk, and Seung Ho that the two of you had not exited the room. And by the time they got here after classes, I told them the two of you still had not exited," Jung Shin said.

"So, all of you were spying on us?" Yong Hwa asked.

"Uh-huh?" the four remarked.

"Tsh, let's just eat dinner," Yong Hwa said.

"We did not cook any," Jong Hyun said. 

"Let's just eat out and celebrate," Seung Ho suggested.

"After all, I am here, and Shin Hye's here," Jung Shin remarked.

"Arasseo," Yong Hwa said dryly, but Shin Hye elbowed him. "Mwo?"

"I'm glad that we are all complete," Shin Hye said. "The Elite Pranksters and Seung Ho."

"Geurae!" Min Hyuk said. "The night should not end without us eating meal together!"

****

All of them went to a Japanese restaurant to feast on Japanese food. Because Seung Ho had a low tolerance for sake, Jong Hyun and Min Hyuk had to drink for him. Jung Shin did not want to drive for them, so he drank. Shin Hye did not want to drink, but she didn't know how to drive. In the end, Yong Hwa did not touch a single shot glass as he will be the one driving for them.

They did not stay out long because the other guys were tired. And so, Yong Hwa and Shin Hye had to tend to the others who were drunk, even Seung Ho who drank a bit. When the other guys were deeply sleeping inside their respective rooms, Yong Hwa and Shin Hye decided to cool down under the apple tree at the yard.

The two sat with a bit of distance between them. The sky was a bit cloudy, so there were no visible stars that they can appreciate.

"Did we do this often too?" Yong Hwa began to ask as he surveyed the night skies.

"Ani," Shin Hye told him tenderly. "We did things often, but looking at the sky at night was not one of them. We were party people who loved to hang out in disco clubs and noraebangs."

"Does that mean I was good in singing and dancing?" Yong Hwa asked as he looked at her.

She looked back at him and smiled. She could not help but reveal the truth.

"You were such a good singer, but you at dancing, jeongmal," she said.

And he was stunned.

"Geurae?" he asked. "Geunde, Jong Hyun said I was the next John Travolta."

"Ahahahah," Shin Hye laughed heartily. "Jong Hyun was just joking. You were obviously all left feet."

Yong Hwa did not get the humor, so she explained.

"You can laugh at him because Jong Hyun also at dancing," she revealed.

"Geurae?"

"Hyukkie and Jung Shin hated to dance too," she revealed. "That's why in clubs, you all preferred to sulk because you all cannot dance."

And she laughed again.

"And again, it was illegal for high schoolers to be hanging out in disco clubs," she told him.

"Huh? But why were we hanging out there in the first place?" Yong Hwa asked with a confused face.

"Because the four of you were so tall and good-looking that you all could pass for college freshmen, even if we were just in second grade of high school," she said.

"Shin Hye-neun?" he asked.

"Na?" she asked. "Though I looked baby-faced, but I put on heavy makeup. That's why they let me in the clubs."

"So, you were a wild girl too, huh?" he asked.

"Sometimes," she said before sighing. "Those were the days when we played pranks at everyone, even club bouncers. Those days... bogo shipeosseo..."

Yong Hwa had nothing to miss because he could not remember anything. Then, the two of them gazed at the stars again.

"Do you think it will rain?" he asked her.

"Molla," she told him as she looked back at him.

And he looked at her.

Though the lights on the streetlamps were getting dim, the two of the got a glimpse of each other's faces, and it was beautiful to look at in the dimness of the night. Yong Hwa felt his chest bumping, though he could not understand why. 

Shin Hye, too, felt the same way, though she knew why. And she felt her cheeks burning up.

"So, what do you want to do tomorrow?" she asked. "It's Saturday, anyway."

"Molla," he said. "If you can lead me to the other things that we used to enjoy, then, I'll go along."

"Arasseo. Let's hop to the theme park, then go singing in a noraebang tomorrow evening," she told him.

Yong Hwa thought about it and nodded. Whatever it took him to regain his memory, he will go for it.

"How about seeing you dance at the disco?" he asked.

Shin Hye blushed. She knew she dances y when she is at the disco, but she felt embarrassed that Yong Hwa should see her dance that way. What to do?

"Let's do it, probably next week," she promised him.

"Arasseo..."

And so, the two of them stared back at the cloudy skies while sitting quietly underneath the apple tree.
