JONGHYUN   All of us are trapped in an awkward atmosphere as of the moment. Angela kept her head bowed down as Kyuhyun hyung shot her a murderous glance. Ryeowook hyung was standing in between them, looking at each of them alternately. Changmin hyung and Minho were standing still on their post as they subtly surveyed Angela’s presence.   So okay… Let me get this straight. Angela and Kyuhyun hyung actually know one another.  How on earth did that happen?! How are they related to one another? She can’t possibly be hyung’s girlfriend because I know hyung went through one hell of a heartbreak because of Victoria noona. So they can’t possibly be dating now, right? And besides, Angela just arrived here recently. Kyuhyun hyung couldn’t have known her by then. The first time I met her, she said she was travelling on her own and that it’s her first time here in Korea. She didn’t know anybody. She was obviously just a tourist, given the fact that she looked really lost and can’t speak Korean.   But then…how come the things she told me from the first time I met her aren’t falling into place right now? Why does she know Kyuhyun hyung? And Zee noona too. How is she related to them? What exactly is her story? Did she even have any plans of telling me about it?   I turned to look at Angela beside me and I noticed her head was still bowed down with her eyes closed. To be honest, I don’t know how I should feel right now. Should I be mad? Should I be upset? All I know is confusion is raining on my parade.   What Zee noona said earlier, that things are getting complicated, is starting to make sense to me now.    ‘You!” Kyuhyun hyung’s heavy, husky voice broke the awkward silence as he called to Angela’s attention, with a shaking, accusing finger pointed at her. “Why did you lie to me?!”   “Uh, technically I didn’t. I did say we’d be going around Myeongdong, didn’t I?” Angela calmly told him.   “By ‘we’, did you actually mean you and Jonghyun? You never told me about that bit.” Kyuhyun hyung followed up with a scoff as he crossed his arms. His big eyes are still glaring at Angela, as if the only thing lacking to happen was to bore a hole on her.   “No, by we, I meant Zee and I.” Angela clarified calmly yet again, unshaken by the terror of her prosecutor.   “Well if you were with Zee, you wouldn’t be here right now.” Kyuhyun hyung argued back.   Angela let out a heavy sigh as she crossed her arms. “I was with and obviously now, I am not.” She replied matter-of-factly and I could see Kyuhyun hyung tightened his lips, which was forming into a thin line.   I looked at her amusedly without her noticing as she kept her gaze on Kyuhyun hyung who was starting to look like a hot kettle that’s about to boil.   Knowing how gentle and fragile Angela is, it was pretty surprising to see her act differently towards hyung. I saw Minho and Changmin hyung exchanging looks of amusement too.   “That’s some girl you’ve got here.” Changmin whispered to me with a soft snigger but I ignored it as I was a bit incomprehensive at the moment.   Kyuhyun hyung closed his eyes and grumbled something gibberish. He pinched the bridge of his nose before opening his eyes again with that resentful glare directed towards Angela, who just seemed nonchalant.   “You!” He pointed to her again sternly. “Stay there!”   He went towards the coffee table and grabbed his phone. He started fumbling with it, nearly losing his grip on it before placing it on his ear.   “Whatever, Dad!” Angela muttered softly beside me as she rolled her eyes and leaned back on the door with her arms crossed.   Err… Was this the Angela I was with earlier? Where did the sweet, gentle, and cheerful girl go? How come she seems so grouchy at Kyuhyun hyung’s presence?   “Zee!” Kyuhyun hyung said a bit outrageously as soon as Zee noona picked up on the other line.   He started conversing in Korean, leaving Angela totally clueless about the things he was saying. Well, with the gestures that hyung was showing, I’m sure she already had an idea of what’s going on.   Kyuhyun kept on ranting and ranting about Angela’s little adventure for today and that Zee noona had something to do with it.   Ah, no wonder she was the one who dropped off Angela earlier at our meeting place.   “Care to enlighten us about this, Wookie hyung?” Changmin hyung asked as all of us were just standing clueless while watching Kyuhyun hyung rant like a nagging mother.   Angela still remained motionless on her post as she amusedly watched Kyuhyun hyung releasing his anger to Zee noona on the phone. I think she’s trying to make out the words that he was saying.   “Um, Miss?” Minho called to Angela’s attention as he tapped her shoulder lightly with his index finger. She responded to him right away with a sharp jerk of her head towards his direction.  “What’s going on here? Who are you and what’s your relation to Kyuhyun hyung?”   Minho said it in Korean that all Angela could do was stare back at him dumbfounded as her round eyes blinked at him.   “Minho-sshi, she can only communicate in English.” Ryeowook hyung clarified to him.   “Too bad, dude! Your English is not that good.” Changmin hyung said in mocked sympathy as he placed a hand on Minho’s shoulder.   “Ya! You talk as if you’re the best English speaker out there!” Minho countered as he jokingly shrugged off Changmin hyung’s hand to which the latter just responded with a laugh.   Minho then turned to look at me and his eyes widened as if a great idea had struck him. “Jonghyun hyung! You know her too right?”   “Well obviously, he does. They went out on a date after all.” Changmin hyung said.   I looked at Angela and I noticed her looking at me too, her face looking apologetic. The truth is, I can’t bring myself to say anything. Angela and I may have gone out earlier and got to know one another for a bit but with the current situation right now, I felt like everything I knew about her had already gone to dust.   “I think I can make the long story short.” Ryeowook hyung volunteered as he stood infront of us. “Her name is Angela. Kyuhyun nearly ran her over a week ago then so to help her get back to her country, he agreed to let her work as our housekeeper. The end.”   The three of us had our mouths hanging open again. Kyuhyun hyung nearly ran Angela over?! So that explains the not-so good relationship between them. Some things are still unclear though. No, actually, A LOT of things still need some throrough clarifications.   And wait, THEY'RE ACTUALLY LIVING TOGETHER ?!   I was about to throw a question when we noticed Kyuhyun hyung nearly dropping his phone and a raging, angry male voice was blasting out through its speakers. Err, I thought he was talking to Zee noona?   “Yeoboseyo? Hyung!” Kyuhyun hyung said the moment he got a proper hold of his mobile phone. His eyebrows furrowed as he looked at the screen before shoving it away at the couch nearby.   He closed his eyes then covered both his palms before running his hands through his already rumpled hair.   Hmm… Hyung really looks so pissed.   “This is your fault!” Kyuhyun hyung began as he faced Angela with both hands placed on his hips.   “What did I do now?” Angela asked him in a miffed tone.   “Why did you lie to me?! To us?! You said you didn’t know anyone.”   “I never really lied, okay?! When I got here, I really didn’t know anyone. I happened to have bump onto Jonghyun at the airport, but I swear I didn’t know him back then. Then by some weird chance, I met him at the grocery store last Wednesday night when you left me and helped me out, specifically in paying for your stuff.”   My eyes widened at Angela’s last statement. So she was doing Kyuhyun hyung’s groceries that time?! Which means…I actually paid for hyung’s groceries. Err…   Kyuhyun hyung looked surprised himself too but he managed to not let his guard down.   “Whatever. We’re continuing this conversation at home!” He said with as much as authority as he can muster. He walked towards Angela but she managed to walk to away from him by moving to another side of the room.   “No! I don’t want to go with you. I’ll just call Zee. ”   “Oh yea?” Kyuhyun hyung scoffed.  “You don’t have a mobile phone, remember?” He added with a victorious smug.   Angela turned her head to her left and saw Kyuhyun hyung’s phone lying down on the couch just right beside her. “Now I do!” She said as she proudly showed it to him.   Kyuhyun hyung looked at her unbelievingly as he reached inside his pockets only to fully realize that it was really his iPhone that was on Angela’s hands.   Angela started to manipulate it but before she could even dial Zee noona’s number Kyuhyun hyung was too quick to snatch it away from her.   “Oh no you’re not! You’re coming home with me. NOW!” He said with finality as he placed his phone back inside his pocket.   His other hand grabbed her wrist but I could see Angela was resisting so hard like a little kid who didn’t want to go to the dentist .   “This is surprisingly interesting.” Changmin hyung muttered in a low voice beside me. “Anyway, is there any food?” He suddenly blurted out as he scratched his head.   I just rolled my eyes at him. Aish! Hyung, how can you think of food at a time like this? Oh yea. Of course, I forgot who I was talking to.   “Ryeowook Oppa, aren’t you coming with us?” Angela asked him as she tried to break free from Kyuhyun hyung’s grip and it was very evident in her eyes that she was begging for him to say yes.   There goes her natural aegyo.   Ryeowook hyung gave her a reassuring smile. “Of course I—   I noticed Kyuhyun hyung staring him down and Wookie hyung suddenly had an apologetic expression on his face. “Err, Angela, actually I think I’ll stay.”   Okay, I didn’t know Ryeowook hyung was that afraid of hyung who was actually a year younger than him.   Angela groaned in defeat to which Kyuhyun hyung responded with a triumphant smug as he dragged her out of the place.   She turned to glance at me as if she was asking for help but I remained still on my post, unable to think of what I’m supposed to do even until she has completely vanished out of the door way.                                                                 “That’s weird.” Minho blurted out loud after a few seconds, breaking the chilly silence that was filling us.   “Yet at the same time interesting.” Changmin hyung piped in.  “Ya! Jonghyun-ah!” He called to my attention as they probably noticed how mute I was the entire time.   I turned to look up at them and the three of them were all giving me puzzled looks.   “You know another thing that’s weird?" Minho said as he pondered deeply on the thought. "Kyuhyun hyung just ran away with your date.”    “True that. And you know what’s weirder? It’s the fact that his date and Kyuhyun-ah are living together.” Changmin hyung added while carressing his chin.  “Aren’t you afraid that they might literally get on each other’s throat?”   That’s it!  Without saying any more words, I got up on my foot and stormed out of the door.   I heard them calling behind me but I didn’t dare look back anymore and tried my best to catch the elevator that was just about to close. Whew! Bless my good reflexes. I just hope I make it on time.   I kept my opening and closing my firsts repetitively the whole time the elevator was going down. Luckily there weren’t that much stops and I was finally able to reach the floor parking lot where I luckily found an arguing Kyuhyun hyung and Angela right away as soon as the elevator opened.   “You and I are going to talk about this properly!” Kyuhyun was telling Angela who was still trying to break free from his grip.   I cleared my throat so I could call their attention and I was successful enough as both of them turned to look at me. Kyuhyun hyung looked surprise while relief was painted on Angela’s face.   “Jonghyun-ah.” He said as he loosened his grip on Angela, making her break free from him and taking a few steps back so she could stand closer to me.   “Hyung, if you don’t mind, can I talk to her first for awhile?”   “You’re not planning to help her escape, are you?”   “Just trust me on this one, hyung. I’m sure you’ll even thank me later on.”   He looked at his watch and gave another dreadful look at Angela. “I’ll give you five minutes.”   Kyuhyun hyung walked further away from us and as soon as he was out of earshot, Angela turned around to face me.   “Jonghyun,” She began. “I know you’re mad at me right now but you have to listen to me. I was planning to tell you about it but I—I—   “Shh, shh.” I held her by her shoulders gently so I could calm her down. “Just calm down, Angela.”   “Please don’t make me go with him.” She pleaded me, her big round expressive eyes glinting from the light.   I sighed. “You have to. I think you owe hyung an explanation.” I motioned my head to where Kyuhyun hyung was standing, which was at the end of the door leading to the parking lot.   “But I owe you one too. I’d rather clear things out with you first than get in another session of a heated, senseless debate with him.”   “I know, I know but I could wait and don’t worry about hyung, I’m sure he’ll hear you out.” I told her in a reassuring tone.   Angela frowned at me and said, “Are you serious?”   “Just trust me.” I looked at her sincerely.   She breathed out a sigh and gave a weak nod. I accompanied her going to where Kyuhyun hyung was standing.   “Hyung, please take it easy on her.” I told him in our native language to which he just responded with a nod.   “Gomawopsumnida, Jonghyun-ah. I’m so sorry for the trouble earlier and about the groceries—   “Don’t mention it, hyung. It’s okay.” I reassured him right away as I patted him on the shoulder. “Anyway, I have to get going.”   I took one last glance at Angela who just gave me a weak smile but I can’t seem to return the gesture as of the moment. I looked away instantly as I headed back inside the empty elevator, which just arrived in time, and as the door was closing, I was able to catch a glimpse of Kyuhyun hyung tugging Angela by her wrist as they walked and this time around, she was no longer resisting him.   SIWON   “Siwon-sshi!” Donghae called to my attention as soon as the door of my room flew open.   Normally, people would get a mini-heart attack when people suddenly barged in your room without knowcking. In my case though, I have already gotten used to that considering that Donghae does it most of the time.   “What?” I responded, lifting my head up from the Bible I was reading. It’s a traditional habit of mine. I make sure I get my daily dose of words of wisdom from our Father before I go to bed and before starting the day as well the moment I wake up.   “Did you receive Ryeowook-ah’s text message?”   “Uh, not that I know of. I haven’t checked my phone yet. Waeyo?”   “Well, I suggest you check it now and see for yourself.”   I picked up my phone on the bedside table and I saw the notification of Ryeowook’s SMS message.   From: Kim Ryeowook

BEWARE: Angela and Kyuhyun got into a fight…again. This one seems really intense! They’re heading home now. If you guys are already sleeping, prepare to be awakened!

"Aish! I wonder what those two fought about this time.” I said as I placed my phone back on the table.

Never a day goes by without them bickering at one another. Angela is actually a very sweet girl to everyone else but Kyuhyun.   “I have no idea but I’m willing to listen to their upcoming conversation once they get home.” Donghae said with a mischievous grin. “Are you up for it?”   I let out a little laugh as I closed my Bible. “Well, at least there will be someone to stop those two just in case they get physically violent.” Which, to be honest, I doubt will happen since Kyuhyunnie isn’t the type to hit girls. Despite of his snarky personality, there still a bit of gentlemanliness left inside of him. And I'm not just saying this because he's my favorite dongsaeng. It may be hard to believe but what I'm saying is true.   Donghae was about to open his mouth again when we heard the door open loudly with a crash and heavy footsteps coming from downstairs.   Ah, that must be the two quarrelling kids already.                                                                Both Donghae and I exchanged glances and we silently rushed outside of room going to the staircase. The two of us were kneeling down as our heads were peeking out from the top of the staircase, just like little kids sneaking out when it’s past their bed time.   We noticed a very miffed looking Kyuhyun walking ahead of an equally miffed looking Angela, whom I must say was dressed up even nicer for tonight. Well, she always carries herself well with the clothes that she wears anyway. The one that she’s wearing now just seems extra…fashionable.   Did the two of them actually go out together? I mean… why would they even come home together? Last time I checked, Zee took Angela shopping around Myeongdong earlier and Kyuhyun of course, couldn’t care any less about her businesses. But why are they even together now? They look like a couple who just got into one serious fight.     Well, as if that’s something new.  The only thing different is that they are not a couple…yet. Kekeke.   “Ah… This looks interesting. You think I should get some popcorn?” Donghae, whose head was right above mine, said in a low whisper.   I shook my head in response at my friend’s funny remark.   “Ok, look! I didn’t know Jonghyun’s your friend. Geez! I didn’t even know he was a celebrity!” Angela finally said in a frustrated manner.   Jonghyun?! Celebrity?! Could she be referring to SHINee’s Jonghyun? Well, he’s the only celebrity I know so far who has that name. And what’s he got to do with her? And why was Kyuhyun angry about it?   Kyuhyun whose back was turned away from her at first made a sharp turn to face her with his arms crossed. “Still, you lied to me about going out! You even used my best friend just so you could execute that scheme of yours!”   I looked up at Donghae and he had an amused yet confused expression painted on his face. Oh we are on the same track, my friend! And boy was he right about this fight being interesting.   Angela rolled her eyes before closing it and breathing a heavy tired sigh. She buried her face on her palms for awhile.   “If I had told you would you have even said yes?” She said as she crossed her arms.   Kyuhyun opened his mouth to answer but closed it right away again as if he just realized something.   “Exactly.” Angela told him as she nodded her head.   “Why did you have to see him anyway? Was it really that important for you?” Kyuhyun spat out incredulously.   Donghae and I snickered as softly as we could. Ooh! Someone’s acting
