“the take will start at 8!” PD’s assistant answered my question.

“ne (yes)! cwesonghamnida, kamsahamnida (im sorry, thank you –formal)!” I bowed before I hurried walk out from the studio.

Earlier, there’s a small problem because the costume Taemin supposed to wear for the show left on the boutique. It’s my fault because I didn’t check again before we’re leaving.

I went to the car but then one of my assistant came, “let me take the clothes, unnie. It’s better that you’re here to help the member. It’s my fault too because im in charge for that costume.”

Then I nodded and pat her shoulder, “gomawo (thanks).”

She smiled before went inside the car and leave.

I run back to the dressing room as I saw all of the boys there. Well, minus Minho. He’s still not participating because of his condition. Well, just to walk properly is still a bit too difficult for him, so until today he’s not allowed to do many activities other than performing on stage which he’s also doing it by sitting on the special set.

“mianhe (im sorry).” I said to them as Im panting after the run.

Onew is the first one to response, maybe because his responsibility as leader, “but do we still have time?” His hair is done by the stylist and now he’s sitting on the sofa with a magazine in his hand.

Jjong and Key joking with one of the coordi assistant, but Taemin’s hair is still undone, the stylist was just trying to tied it up while the 18 years old is writing something on his notebook.

I nodded, “yes, I just talk to the crew.” Then I threw myself on the sofa to catch a breathe before I get up again because I realized something.

“ah! right! I cant just sitting around- where is it?” I looked my bag, “did I left it on the car? Ah, jjinjja (really). Just wait here.” then I told them.

“of course, we’re not going anywhere, Noona. This is our waiting room.” Key replied. As usual, cynically.

I slapped my forehead as I run back to the car- no. the car just left with my assistant, right?

!@#$12Df%^&.

Then I went inside the dressing room once again as I pushed the door too hard. Everyone inside was kinda startled because of it.

“ah, noona, booya (what is it)??” Key complains as usual.

I sit on the sofa and then just said to them the plans that has changed for today. I tried to memorize it as I don’t have my journal with me right now. “after this shoot, all of you are going to do some fitting. We gave.. um.. to be on the place before.. 4? Yes, 4 in the afternoon.”

Onew replied, “aren’t we supposed to do that tomorrow?”

I told him it’s because my boss has a sudden plan, so as he needs to see how the boys fit the wardrobe so the schedule was changed.

“don’t worry, he already told Manager oppa.” I said to them as I try to find the mineral water bottle inside my bag. Ah, here it is.

To hear my explanation, Onew just nodded as then Taemin walk and sit on the sofa in front of me, “noona, kwenchana (are you okay)?”

“hm?” Im still drinking but then I nodded as an answer. After that I asked him, “wae (why)?”

He shrugged, “it seems that you cant focus.”

I just cant help it, he looked so cute. Like my own brother back when he’s still 7, because now at 21 years old he’s pretty annoying for me. I want to messed up with Baby’s hair but I cant, because he will do some shooting after this so then I just pinched his cheek slowly.

He protested a bit but still smiled his angelic smile.

“no, im okay. it’s just.. im worried about the costume.” I took my cellphone to check on my assistant. But before I can dial the number, Taemin said to me, “don’t worry, noona, it will arrive on-time. now can you help me with my hair, I feel the pin stung my scalp in this side.” he pointed at the back of his head as he frowned slightly.

I nodded as then I helped him. And his right, exactly 30 minutes after that, means it’s just 10 minutes before the take start, my assistant came to the dressing room with Taemin’s costume in her hand. Thank God.

The shooting took almost 5 hours, it means they still can eat lunch at ease before we go to the boutique when my boss will meet them.

I went to the dressing room and I told the boy that lunch is ready.

“do you all want to eat here or eat downstairs at the café-“

“HEREEEEE~~” all the 4 of them said in unison.

I chuckled, “fine, you spoiled.”

Key commented, “and why did you get busy with this?”

“because I have nothing to do. all of you is wearing your own clothes, so I didn’t need to coordinate it, right?”

“ooohh.. noona gets cranky again.”

“I did not!” I throw him the pink teddy bear I got from Taemin just now. Key caught it as he laughs.

As I opened the door to talk to the staff outside to help distribute the lunch box, Taemin ran to me and say, “Noona~~ I gave this to you why you throw it to Kibum Hyung?!”

I laughed, “mianhe (sorry).” I took the fluffy bear from his hand and held it tightly.

Just in 15 minutes later, everyone already held their owned food and begin to eat it.

“Onew, two more.. Taemin and Jjong wants one.” I mumbled as I pointed to count. “Kibum is on diet, so..” somehow I feel something missing because one of them aren’t there. Usually Minho will ask for more portion because Kibum ate his food. But as now the umma of the group is dieting, and Minho wasn’t here..

Well, it’s continue like this since his absence, but  now.. I begin to aware his presence more than before. So..

“Noona, don’t you want to eat?” Taemin asked me with his puffy cheek because he’s still chewing.

Key pointed at him, “yaa Taemin-ah, don’t speak when your mouth is still full.”

Taemin covered his mouth with both hands and he smiled sheepishly.

I smiled back at him and answered, “later, Min-nie.. I..” Im not really hungry, but if I answer that, he will bombarding me with questions. Not to mention I feel like I want to have some cigarette outside. He will freak out.

“I want to check that all of your wardrobe already inside the car.” I continued as I waved to him before I left the room.

I sigh after closing the door, because I remembered that my cigarette is inside my bag. Then I decided to buy some in the cafeteria so I went to the elevator.

When Im on my way down, the elevator stopped at 6^th floor. The door opened and some people I know went inside. Their the staffs, we bowed each other politely. But then,

“ah, annyeong.” Super Junior’s Kyuhyun greeted me.

“annyeong (hello).” I smiled at him. “where’s the others?” I saw there’s no super junior members followed him.

From behind Kyuhyun appeared one member of another group. It’s Lee Joon. “whoa.. long time  no see.”  he said as he lifted his hand and smiling sweetly.

I laughed as then I ask, “eh? I didn’t know that you two hung out together.”

Kyuhyun answered, “yeah, since that show Mblaq vs Super Junior..”

Then Lee Joon wrapped his hand around his buddy’s shoulder, “besides, we 88ers have to stick together.” As usual, his sweet smile can easily turn to a naughty smirk.

“is Shinee’s done for today?” Kyuhyun asked me.

I nodded but then, “ah.. I mean in the studio, yes.. but I still have to finish some fitting for them.”

The elevator arrived at the first floor so normally I ask them, “where are you heading to?”

“eat.” Lee Joon answered as he pointed to the cafeteria. The staffs walked ahead and so the three of us followed. “come on, let’s eat with us.”

“I thought you will eat together upstairs?” Kyuhyun asked me, well, he knew how his management’s staffs works.

“yeah,” I shrugged, “but I have no more cigarette, so..” I hang my sentence as I pointed to the place we’re heading.

Joon-nie asked me, “hey.. I heard the comeback was a big success. But how’s the ace’s condition?”

I frowned, “ah.. Minho-sshi?”

“yeah.. you know, he got injured on the day we shoot Dream Team together.” He said.

“ah.. you’re right. Well, he’s getting better.. but still a bit difficult to walk-“

“speak of the devil.” I heard Kyuhyun speaks and he pointed to the lobby’s main gate.

Minho walked inside the lobby with one of the staff I know. He’s wearing his cap as usual.

“see?” I said to Joon to see how’s Minho’s walking condition.

And of course, because of that, this guy called Minho. “yo! Minho-ah!”

Heard someone calling him, he turned to my direction. And as he said something to the staff, he walked towards us.

Kyuhyun smiled as Minho greeted him first because he’s a bit in front of me and Joon, “Hyung.” then took Joon-nie’s hand and shook it, “Lee Joon Hyung.”

Saw me, he greeted me too, with his curious eyes staring, “noona.”

“are you alright?” Joon stepped back to be able to see Minho, “everything’s fine, right?”

Minho smiled politely, as usual, “yeah.. everything’s cool.”

Joon turned to me and said, “of course, the ace!” then he laughs. No. This is not the right time. See, Minho looked disturbed. He must be remembering about Dream Team and his current situation again.

Kyuhyun asked him, “have you eat?”

Minho turned to look at his Hyung and he shook his head.

“let’s eat with us then. my treat.” Joon said it, but quickly turn to Kyuhyun,“or you can do that, you’re older than me.”

“what? just by 4 days!” Kyuhyun exclaimed with a laugh.

I rarely see this calm guy like this except with another member of Super Junior. So they must be quite close right now.

“still.. you’re the oldest from all of us in here.” Joon pointed himself, then me and Minho.

Before Kyuhyun answered, Joon already said to me, “yours is June, right?” and he even wrapped his arm around my shoulder.

I stiffen up for a second, but I realized that this is Joon-nie. He always like this to everyone, even to girls. Well, we’re chingu (friends) who’s born on the same year, too. I was preparing to answer, but Minho’s faster.

“Noona’s birthday is in May.” He walked a bit behind because he has to walk in slow pace.

How can I forget that?

So in the same time, me and Joon turned to see him. I want to help him to walk, but it might not be good in everyone’s eyes. So I said to both guys, “Kyuhyun-sshi, Joon-nie, can you help him-“

“no, no.. it’s fine.” Minho said it right away.

The three of us just looking at each other, as Joon breaks the silence, “come on, don’t be like that! as I once a player on Dream Team, we’re team mates!” then he helped him to walk.

“gomawo (thanks), Hyung.”

“anytime.” Joon smiled as he looked at me and winked while said inaudibly, ‘his pride really is something.’

I nodded slightly, carefully not to make Minho notice, but.. it seems he does. And there’s no smile in his face.

Oh, really. I missed those days when everything about Minho is just like rainbow and candies. So bright it can blinded you but also sweet and makes you feel at ease.

Now as we walked to the eating place straight to the counter, Kyuhyun asked Joon, “just find a table for 4 of us.”

“wae.. wae (why? why)? We can ask the staff hyung for help.” Joon replied.

I was talking to Minho, asking whether he knows about the changed schedule, and that’s why he came today.

“yeah, Manager Hyung called me.” he replied shortly.

Meanwhile Kyuhyun shook his head and said to Joon, “aniya aniya (no), it’s not necessary. Just sit with Minho and then I will call you if our order is done.”

I looked at Kyuhyun, despite of his vague way of thinking –I cant easily read what’s on his mind, it seems that he’s taking care of his dong-saeng (junior) quite well. Maybe because he’s the maknae (youngest one) of the group so naturally he wants to act like a hyung every once in a while.

“wae?” once again Joon asked it.

Kyuhyun with his witty act repeated his word, “wae wae wae? Just used your muscle for something good.” and to see Joon’s eyes getting bigger, Kyuhyun added, “im just a gamer. My muscle is good only to play with playstation stick.”

I said to Joon, “yes, you have to carry all the food, I don’t trust Kyuhyun and his geeky muscle.” as then I laughed.

“aishh.. you-“ Joon acted as if he’s mad with me but then he said to Minho, “just tell them what do you want to eat.”

“I want that ramyun, noona.” Minho shows his obedient even though I can see that he still not showing his smile when he pointed to the menu on the wall.

“araso (I get it).”

Good thing that Kyuhyun wants me to order too, so I can buy a box of cig. If Minho’s around me, then I cant do that.

About 10 minutes later,

Kyuhyun called out, “ya, Lee Joon!” when im walking to our table.

“yye yye araso (yes, yes, I understand)!” Joon replied as he stood up. I laughed as I patted his shoulder, “gomawo (thanks).”

Then Minho also got up from his chair and I frowned, “hey, where did you-“

“to help hyung. Im the maknae (youngest).”

The three of us, even Kyuhyun on the counter there said the same thing, “nah.. it’s okay.” then “just sit down.”

But it’s not Minho if he’s not stubborn. I know the reason is because he’s being polite so I didn’t scold him. I said to him, “just let Joon and Kyuhyun-sshi did that, okay?”

He still stood for a while, but then he threw himself to the chair again. And I can hear his sigh.

I patted his shoulder to show some sympathy, as then he looked at me, “I didn’t know that you get along with Joon Hyung so well.”

“hm?” I stared back, “yeah, I just knew him.”

“Kyuhyun Hyung is from our company. But.. Lee Joon Hyung?” it’s more like Minho said to himself before he added by saying to me, “and.. Joon-nie? Tsk. what’s with that such a nickname?”

Lee Joon debuted after Minho, but still, he’s older, so he called him Hyung.

I frowned, “mouh (what)?”

He ignoring me by asking another question, “do you know, aniya (no), do you befriended with Yonghwa Hyung too?”

“dugu (who), Jung Yonghwa Oppa? Yes, I knew him from Joon.” As the two of them are best friend.

Minho seemed surprise because he didn’t expect that answer. I looked at him as I tilted my head, what?

“why I never know about this..?” he talked to himself again.

After that I laughed, “yaa, Minho-ah, stop being like this. It’s just.. we born in the same year, so naturally we called each other that way-“

“but you didn’t call Kyuhyun Hyung with Kyuhyun-nie.” I can hear a mocking and cynical tone from him, “ah! it’s so nice to be the same year friend, can easily wrap arms on each other’s shoulder.”

That’s it. He’s being childish right now. Well, from what I know since I got introduced to Lee Joon, the guy is just like that. It’s not that he’s flirting or even like me.

Wait-

“… don’t tell me that this is a plain jealousy.” I pointed at Minho.

“j-jealous?” his lips pouted slightly as his eyes blink nervously, and he scoffed, “yeah, right.”

I shifted my stare away from him as I was upset. And he did the same thing. Tsk, what’s wrong with him?

Joon and Kyuhyun came with trays in their hands as they seems aware of the atmosphere, but it’s only Joon who speaks, “okay kids, now let’s eat!”

“gomawo (thanks).” I took my ramen on Kyuhyun’s tray as Joon sat on the chair beside me.

I don’t really know what happen, but as I started to eat, Minho looked up to me –as im sitting in front of him, and said, “by the way.. the new hair looks nice.”

I finished the ramen I chewed as then I wiped my mouth slightly with the tissue, “gomawo (thanks).”

Joon and Kyuhyun was listening to us then Joon commented, “ah! that’s why you looked a bit different from the last time we’ve met.”

Kyuhyun nodded as he adds, “new?”

I nodded, “I cut it.. um.. yesterday.”

Took a glance at Minho who’s now eating his food, reminds me of the boys’ different reactions when I met them this morning.

Key pointed out and say, “noona! Is this the result of a broken heart??” as he deserved a poke on his pretty head.

Onew showed his thumb and say along with his innocent smiles, “did you or the stylist decide it?”

“omo.. took of your hat! Your hat! I want to see it without covering by the hat!” Jjong as usual is really loud.

And Taemin has the best line, ever.”noonaa~~ I swear you look like my mother’s doll! You know the story how my mother gave me a doll when I was 5 to replaced her presence because she’s so busy at that time? neumu yeppeo.. jjinjja (so pretty, really).

Damn you, Taemin. And as I’ve met his mother once, I can easily imagine how she acted when she gave her precious youngest son that mother doll. Taem’s mother is an adorable lady too, and she’s still so young.

“yeah, but I less look motherly.” I mocked myself as Taemin laughs and then wrapped his arms around me while smiled happily and sigh at ease.

Back to the present,

Joon said to me, “you looked nothing like 88ers. Really. Right?” he asked Kyuhyun for agreement. The latter just nodded to hear his statement.

“yeah, and how do I look?”

“hmm..” Joon is staring at me, as I looked at him too, ignoring the two others at the opposite side of the table. Well, I know Kyuhyun is too busy with his Kalbi. Minho is the one who keeps taking a glance.

Then Joon continued, “like 98ers?”

“mouh (laugh)??? Yaaa, Lee Joon..!”

But now I can see Minho also laughs a bit, together with his hyung.

“jeong mal yo (really)?” I asked Kyuhyun as the guy answered, “.. or 2008ers?”

I pretend to be angry as I slapped my tissue to the table and laugh bursts.

“gweopta (cute).” Minho said out of the blue between his laugh.

Joon pointed and say, “yaaa.. our Minho is just so cool. You should sing it.” Then he turned to me, and sang with vague melody, “noona neumu gweowo (noona really cute), ah, it doesn’t sound as good as the original version.”

“of course, Mblaq doesn’t suit cute song like that.” I said, “well.. Super Junior still can pull it though.”

Joon laughs as he put his cap on my head then weight his hand on my head as I was buried by his arms.

But then, “jam kahn mahn (wait)-“ Minho said it right away as he even forget to speak formally. His hand reached out my shoulder. His gesture meant to told Joon stop doing.. well, what he’s doing right now.

I stopped laughing as Joon, Kyuhyun too, paused to see Minho’s reaction.

“ne (yes)?” I asked him as I gave Joon’s cap to the owner.

“ah.. aniya (no).”

Joon asked, “I shouldn’t do that..?”

Kyuhyun just staring at his dong-saeng (junior), as then Minho cleared his throat, “well.. there’s so many people around. So..”

To heard that, Joon said, “ah, you’re right!” followed by Kyuhyun’s laugh.

We’re continued eating then after I finished my ramyun I looked at my watch. I think it’s time for me to go upstairs and see whether the boys are ready to leave.

So then I said to both Joon and Kyuhyun, “I think I have to go now..”

Kyuhyun looked at one of the staff behind and said, “yeah, me too.” then he looked at Joon, and the latter answered, “I still have something to do in here.”

I nodded to them and then I said to Minho, “just stay here, I called everyone.”

“actually, noona didn’t have to go upstairs, right? I can just call Kibum and told them that you waited here with me.”

“mouh (what)?” I laughed. Is it too much?

“or.. I have a better option. Noona called Onew Hyung, since he’s the leader.”

“yeah? And what about manager oppa, can I be impolite too?” I told him that and yet he still talk back to me.

“Manager Hyung? didn’t he tell you that he didn’t go with us, he will met us there in your place.” He means my working place, “Just wait here with me.”

“but my bags is up there.” I told him.

“your assistant can help you bring it here.” Minho took his phone from his pocket. Maybe he’s gonna call Kibum just like he said.

From the corner of my eyes, I can see that Joon –who’s drinking his Pepsi right now, and Kyuhyun –who’s just put his PSP inside his bag, were actually staring at us. Well, from what I know, these 2 guys aren’t the best observant, but if Minho kept acting like this-

“toilet. I need to go the washroom.” I just stood up and waved my hand to Joon then Kyuhyun, “see you guys..”

Kyuhyun gave me his smile while Joon pointed out, “ah! don’t forget to bring your Mblaq CD! You told me that you want my sign, didn’t you?”

I laughed at his lie and then answer while I turned around, “when do I said that do you? besides, I don’t usually buy CDs.”

“WHAT??” stupid Joon exclaimed.

“bye~~” I waved without looking back but I can hear Joon asked Minho.

“and she didn’t even buy your CD too?”

I can imagine Minho shrugged when I heard he’s answering, “well, we gave it to her.”

While im walking on the elevator, I cant help but thinking about what Minho did just earlier in front of his Hyung.

Is it too much to think.. that it’s some kind of jealousy?

I was too lost to my thoughts as I realized I already in front of the dressing room’s door. So I opened it and say, “okay boys.. are you ready to leave? Ah, Eun-ah, can you help me with the bags?” I said to one of my assistant too.

Kibum tried to wake up their leader as soon as he saw me. Jjong tapped Taemin’s shoulder and pointed to the door, means they’re leaving first.

It’s not an easy job to finally waking Onew up, but somehow Kibum manages it. He’s the almight Key anyway.

“where’s Minho?” Onew asked me.

“downstairs. I met him in the cafeteria.” I answered him quickly because.. I don’t know. As soon as Minho’s name get mentioned, I feel awkward.

“oh.” Onew just nodded as he always like that shortly after being wake up from his sleep. I’ve been working with them so late at night or too early in the morning, and so I just knew that Onew is the most difficult one to wake, while Minho is the one who likes to sleep the most.

… why did Minho’s name came up again? and this time, Im the one who deliberately brought it. Sigh.

When I get into the elevator with the boys, and arrived to the first level,

“eh, annyeong hasseyo (hello –formal), Oppa!” I just greeted excitedly.

“whoa, annyeong (hello)! It’s been a while..!” the person seems surprised too.

Jjong and the rest saw to whom I talked as they’re just bow politely even though I know they didn’t know that guy personally.

“noona..” Taemin called me as then I said to him, “go to the cafeteria, and pick up Minho there. meet you in the parking area in a minute, okay?”

Then the baby just nodded.

“you seems really enjoy your job now, didn’t you?” Jung Il-woo, the actor, or I used to call him Il-woo Oppa, said to me.

I laughed a bit sarcastic, “well, yeah. Everyday’s a new day.” Then I pretend to be weary by sighing loudly.

“how’re you doing?” he just asked that right away. From that, I knew what he’s implying. Well, fyi, he’s my ex’s close friend.

My laugh calmed down and replaced by a smile, “im good. and you, Oppa? Are you here for a take of a new drama series?”

He shook his head, “but im here to meet some producers. Let’s hope that I get the role.” He grinned at me.

Il-woo Oppa is not as calm as my.. yeah, ex. He’s really fun to be hang around with, and maybe because he’s just one year senior than me, so it’s more like we’re friends.

I clapped my hand excitedly as then I said, “cant wait to see it!”

He laughs, “don’t be to excited! Not yet not yet! Hahaa..”

I laughed with him too as then he looked at me and said, “..have you meet him again after you two..?”

See, back to the main topic.

I shook my head, “no. we’re not even contact each other. I think he’s still in Japan right now, I don’t know.” As then I added, “but still, whatever it is, I hope he’s doing fine. Didn’t you meet him?”

“well, not really.” And then sighed sympathetically he said, “I was surprised when noona said that you two broke up. I thought she’s lying.”

The one he called ‘noona’ is my ex’s manager. She’s.. not really the supporter of our relationship.

“really, you didn’t expect it?” I questioned him with a teasing look. He knew things about my relationship –things that preventing my former relationship to be last long and that’s why it makes him lying if he said he’s surprised to my separation with his bestfriends.

He smiled again, “well… I never pray about bad things, but.. you’re right. Im not that surprise.”

I cant help to laugh after hearing his answer, I like this guy. He’s just as honest as his boyish look. “don’t worry, Im  fine with that.”

“but the thing is.. I kinda surprise to see you.. um.. didn’t even look sad at all.”

I chuckled, “even if I did, im not gonna show the world, Oppa.”

Then he put his hand on the chin, thinking about something, “that’s why Hae Jin really wants to squeezed you out of desperation sometimes, doesn’t he? Because you tend to hide your feelings from him.”

I paused as he said his bestfriend’s name. And seeing that, he thought I was offended so he apologized, “ah, mianhe (im sorry), I didn’t mean to-“

“no, no.. you’re right. well, it’s just too complicated between me and him.” I waved my hand and laugh awkwardly.

It’s not that I didn’t want to talk to him any longer, but I have to go now because I still got some work to do, so, “Oppa-“ I just want to say something to excuse myself, when I heard a familiar voice called me.

“Noona! What are you doing?”

It’s Minho.

I turned around and he speaks to me again, as he walked slowly with his limping leg, “Taemin said you told him to wait in the car.”

He’s staring at Il-woo Oppa and then they greeted each other by polite bow.

I looked at him and replied, “yes, I did. Ah, stupid. I supposed to tell you guys to go first, I used my own car anyway.”

Then without waiting for his reply, I looked at Il-woo Oppa and say, “im sorry, but I have to go now.”

He laughs as he patted my shoulder like a big brother, “it’s okay. Good to see you again after a while.”

“good luck for the audition, Oppa! Fighting!” I said to him as he walked to the elevator.

“If I get it, then I’ll treat you some rice cakes!”

I laughed. He still remembers how I love to eat that food. Well, I often meet him when im still going out with his bestfriend, anyway. And I hope, my break-up wont changed the friendship between me and Il-woo Oppa.

“what?” I looked at Minho because right now he’s staring at me when we begin to walk. He tries to walk normally and yeah, he seems to getting better.

“nothing.” he said, “Im just thinking.. turns out you knew so many people in the industry.”

His tone seems flat, so it’s not a joke, neither a sarcastic saying. Then I asked him, “do you really think I just  know your group and another group in the same company?”

“well, I prefer like that.” he shrugged. And this time, the tone slightly turns higher. “and I realized that.. I didn’t know that about you, noona.”

I laughed at him, “well, there’s a lot of things that you didn’t know about me, Minho-ah.”

“yeah, but I want to know better. And thing like patted noona’s shoulder.. even to wrapped arm on it.” he said in a very casual tone it makes me even more awkward.

I cant reply anything as then he stretched out his hand and say, “it’s really good to be the 88ers, and  it’s also good to be your ‘oppas’..”

To hear that, I turned to see him. His face didn’t change, but the tone.. as then he continued, “of course, to be a dong-saeng like Baby. But.. what does all of that makes me to you then?”

“mouh (what)??” can he be more sulky than this? and be this.. obvious?

Wait. No. I really don’t like this. Where the hell quiet Minho goes?

He turned to face me and say as if he didn’t say anything so disturbing earlier, “ah~ mianhe (sorry), noona.. I cant drive for you because of my Goddamn leg.”

“h-huh?”

“yeah, as Manager Hyung wasn’t here, I just tell Onew Hyung that I would call you and just go with your car. They already on their way right now, I think..”

“and my assistant..?”

He said as if he’s innocent, “left with the company car too..?”

Really, this boy. I cant believe he’s younger than me. Even to a noona who can be sarcastic like me, he braved enough to be like this.

So I have no choice. We get to the boutique with my car. He sat in the front passenger seat. Damn. I hope there’s no paparazzi or worst, fans, who sees this. Ugly rumor is the last thing I need right now.

And the fact that we didn’t talk as much during the way –he’s just asking what kind of music I want to hear before he manages to find the CD or radio he likes to hear, makes me more nervous of his presence.

As 20 minutes later, I can see the boutique, I sighed in relieved secretly. Then as I parked the car, he said, “after I think again, I prefer that you just see the 5 of us. Well, actually it’s still to share you with the other 4, but it’s not like I have another choice. It’s your job. But personally..” he stopped as he opened the door, and before he walked out, he added, “yeah, I think you already understand what I mean, right, Noona..? oh, and thanks for the ride.” He even smiled as nice as usual.

Dammit.

My mind was so messed up as I just walked out the car. Closed the door. Lock the keys.

Stepped on the stairs. What the hell just happened? Why I got lead by him this much? Im not like this. well, he shouldn’t be like this to his noona.

But then Kibum’s word from some time back then hits me. ‘it’s because you are his noona.’

‘his’.. as in.. ‘only his’?

I shook my head to make all the thoughts go. I need distraction. So then I just walked faster, and the first thing I saw is..

The Baby’s smile.

“Noona..? are you okay? why are you running like that? omo. Your cheek was so red. Must be flustered because of the wind, right, Noona..? aigoo.. but you looked so cute, like my doll- ooff!” he stopped talking because I just embraced my arms around him.

My boss aren’t in the room, and so are my assistant. Even some of the member of the group. There’s only Jjong, Kibum and Taemin.

“N-noona?” without looking up to see his face, I can guess that Taemin is confused and might be giving his Hyung a signal what to do.

How nice if I can just hug and messing up Minho’s hair just like what I used to do with Taemin.

How nice if he can be forever my little brother like I used to think of him.

But as then Onew and Minho walked into the room, I heard Kibum’s voice, “ya ya yaa, Taemin-ah.”

“w-what did I do?!” Taemin exclaimed. As then he whispered to me, “Noona.. can you let me go? or Minho Hyung definitely will kill me with his stare.”

Dammit.

This is the first time I felt like this since my former relationship. And now it felt like centuries ago.

I don’t like this.

I really don’t like the fact that….

That I like when Minho got jealous because of me.
