What if you have all the 5 boys around you?
Here the story goes.

Just a mild everyday story about you and them in an alternate universe we never heard of; but we might dream to live in.

----

“Yah. I told you to wear the red one.” I heard Kibum’s voice as I put on my earrings. My lips form a smile although I knew he cannot see it.

“Why?” I turned, my smile disappear though, just to annoys him more,“I don’t think red suits me.”

“Are you kidding me, since when did you THINK when I try to suggest you something related to clothes. Wait. Im not suggesting, Im telling, and that’s different. So you’re not supposed to think, because what you have to do is listen and just follow what I said.” He sighed dramatically as he leaned to the door.

“Yeah, if it’s not an order.” I talk back while I took the purse and ready to walk out from the room but actually I can’t. It’s because Kibum blocked my way, intentionally that is. He puts his hands on my waist and smile. Not a smirk, but a genuine loving smile.

“What? We’re late, you know.” I said to him, my fiance. I didn’t say that his smile is creepy, it’s gorgeous, actually, and he became manlier than ever recently, but this is not the time to be like this. We’re supposed to be somewhere else right now.

“Sure you didn’t forget about something?” He raises his eyebrows.

I frowned as then I slapped my forehead slowly, “Ah, you’re right!”

A second after that I released myself from his embrace and run back to the room to open the wardrobe.
I grabbed the blue-wrapped gift box, “How can I forget about this??”

Kibum laughs heartily and he gave out his hand to me, “That’s why I told you, there’s no way you can live without me and my nag.”

I take his hand and chuckled, “Seriously?”

He flicked my cheek slowly and say, “Oh, yes, my dear. And im sure deep down you know that im right.”

Well, he is right.

----

As we arrived to my uncle's house where's the party being held, someone tapped my shoulder and as I turned around, “Oh my God, Jjongie!”

Jonghyun, my older brother’s bestfriend, smiled and give me a warm hug, “Hey baby girl.” Yes, even though we’re just separated by a year, I guess I will be the little sister for him.

“I didn’t expect you to come! I thought you’re still in Japan!” I said to him excitedly. For some reason, I felt that he’s way calmer compare to the last time we met.

“Of course I wouldn’t miss the baby of the family finally turned into an adult, right?” He winked at me. I did slap his shoulder playfully for a several times out of excitement yet he’s just smiling. He used to be the loud ones among us, actually.

I can feel that Kibum irked for a little bit with my gesture, so then I said to him as I still leaned to Jonghyun, “Ah, right. Kibummie, this is Jonghyun Oppa, my friend. I’ve told you, the one who lives in Tokyo.” And then I turned to Jonghyun, “Meet my boyfriend, Kim Kibum.”

Shaking hands with Jonghyun, Kibum’s stare softened as he murmured, “Great, I thought he’s your ex who you said will come to the party.”

Jonghyun looked at me, apparently he heard that, and so he said, “If by that you mean Minho, well, he’s here.” And Kibum looks annoyed for once again.

I groaned but Jonghyun laughs. He grinned, somehow looks like his old self, “We guys don’t want our girls to lie or hide something behind our back. And we want to see how ugly the bastard who’s our girlfriend used to be with.”

“Jjongie!!” I want to be mad, but of course, I didn’t. And yes, somehow Kibum seemed agree with my cousin.

“Oh, whatever. I’m just going to find the birthday boy.” I said to them as I released Kibum’s hand, “Wait here, I will take him to you after I find him.”

“Okay.” Kibum said as then I said to my mother nearby, “Eomma, Kibum is here.”

And yes, my mother just ignored me to greet him. Sometimes I feel like she adores my boyfriend more than she does to me, her daughter.

----

I bumped into someone as Im trying to find the birthday boy.

“Omo, Oppa, becareful.”

Here's my older brother, Jinki.

Jinki smiles but somehow looks a bit uncomfortable as he realized I have found him. Well, to see who’s talking with him right now, I kind of understand why. Minho, my ex-boyfriend was talking to my brother. Great.

Jinki wrapped his hand on my shoulder like usual, “How are you, kid?”

“Im fine. We’ve just met two weeks ago, remember? Oppa, where’s Tae? I tried to find him but I didn’t see him anywhere.”

Minho answers my question, “He still tries to find something, I don’t know. But he mentioned your name.”

“Oh, okay.” I know what it is. It’s just a silly promise between me and my baby cousin Taemin, who turns 20 today. I didn’t expect him to remember though. Well, I knew he would remember, but I also already knew that he might couldnt find that ‘something’ since he’s one of the most forgetful person I’ve ever know.

To his rescue, Jinki said to Minho, “If you’ll excuse us for a sec.”

“Sure.” Minho nodded. Goddamit. You know what, when Jonghyun mentioned about how the ex-boyfriend could be –no, should be, ugly and everything, he actually knew that I would never think like that about Minho, because this ex-boyfriend of mine is always gorgeous, then, and even more now.

But I shook my head to get rid of my silly thought as Jinki lead me to a corner of the room.

“Oppa, thanks. You know I don’t really want to see Minho. Not to mention I don’t know what will happen if Kibum finally meet him. Ugh.” I said to my brother.

“Are you pregnant?” Jinki said to me unexpectedly. And for him this is just as usual, he always says or does something that is coming from the extraordinary world.

“Wh-“ I stopped. “Well…” My voice became slower. There’s no way I can hide anything from my brother, not only because he’s one of a kind, but maybe also because his IQ is 160. He might have understands something we never really know about.

“But how do you know?” I whisper to him. Im only pregnant for about a month and my posture is not even change at all, for God’s sake.

“Does Eomma know about this?” He asked. What I love about him is he never judge. But I know since our father passed away, he took the complete responsibility of our family.

“She… doesn’t. Hasn’t. But don’t worry, im going to be a wife soon anyway.” I try to make a joke but Jinki is faster, “OWWWW!” I covered my forehead as he flicked it.

“Oppa! Really??!” My eyes got teary as then Jinki said a bit loudly,”That’s what you got when you’re trying to kid your older brother!” But then he laughs, maybe to cover up, because now a several guest are staring at us, including Minho.

Then he whispered to me, “Well, Kibum and I already have a talk actually that’s why I knew about the pregnancy, so I wont punish you any further. But you know that I.. I..” Suddenly his eyes got teary too, out of from a different reason from me, of course.

To see him like this, I cant help it. I smiled as I hug him, “Awww. What would I do without you, Jinki Oppa?”

“Yah you little punk-“

“My brother doesn’t swear.” I cut his word, half-jokingly, as we’re still hugging each other.

“Aish.” He said slowly as I can feel that he patted the back of my head. Then when we release the hug, he wiped his eyes abruptly and smile, “You know I almost cant forgive your boyfriend, but what to do, he’s being honest when he asked my permission to marry you and after I saw you so happy like this..”

"Thank you, Oppa." I smiled, and he knew how deep  it means.

“I should really find Tae. Somehow I don’t want the guest to be angry with me to cause the heart of the party is missing because of me.” I said to my brother.

“Yeah. And as know Tae have become an adult, let’s just hope that my nephew or niece wouldn’t be the one who held the legendary title in our big family.” Jinki said. I laugh after I realized what his sentence means.

“We all know that despite being an adult, Tae is always going to be our little-“

“Noonaa!!!! AHAHAHAHAA. I found it!” Suddenly I heard that voice, coming from the one and only Taeminnie.

The 178 cm tall younger cousin of mine closed the door behind him and running to me with something on his hand that he’s trying to show me. His path was block with many things –tables of food, chair, balloons, I don’t know, and also guests who’s expecting to see him, so he’s suddenly have to greet them first.

I laugh a bit to see his never changing awkwardness and enjoy the moment forever.

On the same time, I can see Kibum approaching with the gift on his hand. Um.. I said that Taemin is the most forgetful person, right? Well, im the second one.

“Here you go.” Kibum gave out our gift for Taemin –a dark blue necktie, his favorite color but his least favorite fashion item since he doesn’t like the feel of being strangled, he said.

“Thank you, honey.” I kissed him on the cheek and I swear I didn’t do that to make Minho jealous, although he does look at me. And.. the small clean-cut diamond on my ring finger.

Im sorry Minho, it could have been you, if you were not that selfish at that time, if I were not too proud to admit that I obviously need you with me. But I guess that’s all just the past for now, because I wouldn’t left Kibum for any reason, just like Im not only marrying him because of my baby.

“So I can see now that Minho is in fact the most dashing man in the place and the one who the women here most drooling about.” He whispered with his a little bit annoying tone. Trust me, he can be more and more annoying than this.

“Yeah, he is. God he’s so freaking handsome I cant even say it to anyone. Thank you for listening to me.” I said sarcastically to Kibum with a sweet smile.

“Whatever.” Kibum smiled too, because he knew what I really meant.

“But you know I only drool to your pillow, right?” I pretend to be serious.

“Oh God.” He acts too, with his disgusted face, but then he just wrapped my waist from behind and rest his chin on my shoulder, “You’re lucky because you’re the only one who can invades my life without being yelled at.”

He kissed my cheek while Im saying, “Not yelled at, but nagging at. It’s still the same, silly.” And he laughs really hard while Taemin finally stops in front of me so Kibum released me to give me time to greet my cousin.

“Birthday boy!! Finally!” I throw my arms to hug him as he thanked me, “And here’s my promise!” he said.

I released the hug and stare at what he’s been holding on his hand; a plushie.

We’re both smiling widely more than ever while we exchanged ‘our promise’. Yes, I gave the plushie when we’re a child, it’s a plushie of Taemin I made from fabric that looks exactly like him when he’s about 5 years old and a crybaby. Amazingly he stopped crying every time I showed him the doll and so it became his belonging.

When he turns into teenager, a rebel one and almost died because of a motorbike accident, I was so angry at him being stupid like that I said I never want to speak to him again.

And that’s when he came, talking as a ventriloquist with that plushie and ask for my forgiveness.
Then I told him, the plushie is just like him, being forever my baby. And when the time comes, he should give me back the plushie so I can start to see him as the young man I always hope him to be.

Although in the process, yes, he is still being a rascal and not to mention, lost the doll.

But to see him today, and fulfilled our promise, I feel so touched.

As I held the plushie, I gave out the present. He even opens it right away in front of me with such a expecting eyes, but then fell off over a second.

“Noona! Why?? A goddamn necktie??! You know how-“ He was about to complaint but I shushed him.

“Shh!” and he stopped talking, “If you want to blame anyone for the gift, just say it to Kibum.” I pointed at him as my boyfriend exclaimed, “What? You chose that!”

But I ignored him as I took out something from my bag and show it to Taemin, “A plane ticket to London, as you always wanted to go, right? I’ve got all the accommodation and everything.” I winked at him.

In a second, he blinks for a several times. He might think of his girlfriend who’s currently studying in that capital city of England, but then he grinned and kisses me on the forehead! “Noona you are the bestttt!” WH-

“You!” I laugh, “You’re not even being 20 for 24 hours yet, but act like- ahahaha” I cant held my laugh as everyone did too after they saw Taemin grand gesture.

But as then he literally push me over a hug and almost makes me fall, Jinki Oppa shouts, “Becareful, Tae! Remember she’s-“

Oh no. Wait. Did Taemin knows too?

“Ah, yes, im really sorry, Noona. I almost forgot! Who would have thought that I will be an uncle when Im only 21?? Let’s hope that it’s a girl, I want to have a cute and pretty niece. Im kinda worried that if it’s a boy then he will be your next ‘little monster’ as now I have turn-“ Taemin, as usual, speaks really fast with his child-like speech and so I cupped my hand to cover his mouth while I heard Jinki sighed from behind.

A second. Two seconds.

“Omo!!!” Yes, that’s my mother. And I don’t know whether I have to feel weird or relieved as she seems happy rather than angry.

I can see that Jjongie congratulates her on being a grandmother soon, before then she fled to Kibum and bombarding him with question related to my pregnancy. Jinki Oppa seems to try to explain and apologies to my mother but she’s just waving without worrying.

From where he stands, Minho lifted his glass while looking at me as a congratulatory and he showed a fainted smile as I just nod unknowingly to our inaudible conversation.

And then I turned to my so-called little monster baby cousin, so ready to yell at him for spilled out the secret but..

“Nooonaa.”

Dammit he’s faster.

With the plushie on his hand –as I couldn’t figure out how it’s already in his hand again, saying with the most pitiful voice he can manages, “Im so sorry.”

Before I can even open my mouth he continued, “You know I never meant to do that bad things. Im just your little baby monster and even to that fact, you’re still wanting me as your cousin, right?”

I sighed.

For a second he’s still waiting there in front of me, despite on everyone’s cheering over the news and so I said, “I really REALLY hope that my child is obedient, unlike you.”

Then a smile grow on his lips, “Oh, sure, because you’re such an obedient child too, right, Noona? But is it really like that?” but of course, he said it with a naughty cynical tone as he rubbed my still flat stomach.

“Ya!” I was about to twitch his ears but he’s faster to duck and say, “Dont worry Noona, my niece would be the prettiest princess among all, but if it’s a nephew, he will be more adorable little rascal than I am!” as he hugged me once again to prevent me on flicking his forehead or doing anything to punish him.

Well, Im surely never going to win over this little monster.
And so my life would never be so boring anyway.
