Jooyeon carried her red bag pack and strolled out of the Choi residence. She sang a little tune and hopped in her steps.

Yes. She was happy.

The past night's events kept her awake and feeling awfully chirpy and cheerful. Taemin had apologized to her.

I repeat. TAEMIN HAD APOLOGIZED TO HER!

She almost forgot about the grief of missing Jiyong, and she walked on happily.

*HONK HONK*

"He apologized to me!" Jooyeon mumbled happily. "And he even gave me a box of gummy bears!"

*HONK HONK* "Yah Choi Sulli!"

Jooyeon put on a dreamy expression and smiled. "Does that mean I'm more important to him than Suzy now?"

*HONK HONK* "CHOI SULLI!"

Jooyeon whipped her head in frustration. "Keep it down will you! I'm not Choi-"

Taemin waved. "Morning Sulli!"

"Oh." Jooyeon blinked. "Morning. But... Why are you here?"

Taemin chuckled. "Did you forget that I said I'll come to fetch you?"

Jooyeon's eyes widened in realization. *Oh right! How could I have forgotten!*

Taemin giggled and went nearer, poking her forehead. "Yah! You're such a Babo!"

Jooyeon pouted. "Are we getting into the car or not!"

Taemin chuckled and opened the door for her. "Yes Miss."

Jooyeon, oblivious of such gentlemen actions, went to the other door. She opened it herself and plopped herself in the seat. Taemin looked at her surprised.

*Does she not know that I opened the door for her?*

He went in and sat next to her. "Yah, I opened the door for you you know! Why didn't you go in by that door?"

Jooyeon looked at him puzzled. "You opened the door for me?"

"Yeah." Taemin said like it was the most obvious thing on earth. "Don't your butlers open the door for you?"

Jooyeon recalled and remembered men in black suits always opening the doors for Sulli. Car doors, house gates, and even toilet doors.. Has Sulli opened any one of them herself?

"Oh."Jooyeon gasped in realization. "I'm sorry. Next time you open the door I'll go by that way!"

Taemin chuckled. This girl was one cute girl.

"Next time?" he pretended to be angry. "Next time I won't be opening the door for you!"

Jooyeon looked down. *Even if you open the doors, I won't be the one you open it for. Sulli Eonni will be back soon..*

Taemin noticed her staring blankly at her hands. "Yah!" he nudged. "I was kidding! I'll open the doors for you anytime!"

Jooyeon looked up and smiled. "Thank you." however, the sadness in her eyes did not go unnoticed by Taemin.

*Is she still sad about the Jiyong guy from yesterday?* he thought.

"Hey." he called. "Do you want to go anywhere after school today? I'll bring you."

Jooyeon looked at him puzzled. "Why.."

"To show my apology?" Taemin scratched his head. "Just name a place! I'll bring you!"

Jooyeon smiled. She had the perfect place in mind.



Onew's jaw dropped when he saw his maknae and his fairy girl coming from the same car.

"You two came to school together?" he asked.. Or rather. Shrieked.

"Yeah" Taemin nodded like it was the most naturally thing on earth.

Whispers started surfacing as the whole school noticed both of them together.

"How can Taemin forgive her?"

"She's such a ! Threatening Suzy with a knife!"

"She must have threatened Taemin to fetch her to school as well!"

Taemin gritted his teeth hearing those insults. He went to the nearest table and shooed the girls studying there away.

He scrambled onto the table and pulled Jooyeon to stand on the table with him.

"ATTENTION!" he shouted.

Everyone turned to look at him, the maknae Kingka. (And yea, also because of his loudspeaker talent. You know how a 3 year old screams when you take his milk away? Yeah. THAT LOUD.)

"All of you, including me, we wronged Sulli!" he clarified. "She never threatened Suzy to leave me! Suzy was the one who lied!"

The crowd gasped.

"Suzy lied? What a ! I thought she looked like a good person..."

"QUIET!" Taemin roared.

---silence---

"Don't catch me bullying or saying bad things about Sulli again! If not..." Taemin hesitated. "YOU'LL HAVE PIMPLES!"

All the girls fled away, fearing for their complexion.
