Sherina: (smiles)  Shiko: (looking away) Onew: shiko is here too (smiles) ... Tanomuyo, shiko-san (we're counting on you, shiko) Shiko: (looks at onew questioningly) ... Tanomu? Nani atashi ga tanomu? (Counting on me? Counting on me for what?) Onew: (just smiles back at her) Sherina: (looks around) w-where's taemi--!!! Taemin: (sneaks up behind her and wraps his arms around her waist, burying his face on the back of her shoulder) Key: ya! Lee Taemin, you... !! Minho: geeez ... The hermit finally leaves his rathole ... Shiko: (purses her lips at the scene and looks away - annoyed)   *sherina remained stiff in taemin's touch ... A few minutes passed before shiko started getting irritable again and attempted to separate the two ...   Shiko: ya! If you're only greeting her, then-- Key: (grabs shiko's hand) ah! Come, come, shiko ... (Smiles) all the food is in the kitchen! Minho: yup! Help us cook a few, will you?  Jonghyun: you're a chef, right? Shiko: a-ah! W-wait!! Wai--!!   *shiko was swept away before she could even protest, leaving taemin and sherina alone in the living room ...   Sherina: (shaky voice) t-taemin? Taemin: (hugs her tighter) i'm sorry ... Sherina: (surprised) !! ... Taemin: i didn't mean for this to happen, i-- Sherina: im sorry too, ... (Places a hand on taemin's arm)  Taemin: (releases his grip) y-you're not mad? Sherina: (turns around to face him) its not something we cant fix, right? (Slight smile) shiko's just being overprotective, she always has been ...  Taemin: and i was just being childish and selfish ... Sorry ... Sherina: (Suddenly hugs him) Taemin: (surprised) !!!! Sherina: (voice muffled through his shirt) i missed you ... I'm so sorry ...  Taemin: (deflates in relief and hugs her back)   *meanwhile, in the kitchen ...   Shiko: (unwillingly grilling some meat - muttering incoherent curses under her breath) Minho: ssssso ... Miss shiko ... Shiko: we've already established, long ago, not to call me that, oppa ... Minho: (giggles) sorry ... Still needs some getting used to ... With you being an heiress and all ... Anyway! ... Are you mad? Shiko: (looks up momentarily from the grill) mad? ... Why would i be mad? (Continues grilling) Onew: oh come on, shiko ... You don't really think that sherina wouldn't let us in on these things, do you?   *shiko was thrown into deep thoughts for a moment ... Pursing her lips, thinking of a good way to answer that question without sounding like the completely evil bestfriend .... Truthfully, she KNEW that she was being a bit irrational for hogging sherina all to herself but after hearing how her bestfriend was being hurt for the sake of taemin, she really cant hold in her anger ...   Key: (sighs) so in the end, you're really just mad, aren't you? Shiko: (decides to just shut up and continue grilling the meat) Jonghyun: hmmmm ... Well, would an apology from us suffice? ...  Shiko: (looks at jonghyun) ... Jonghyun: At least for now ... For this party? (Pleading puppy dog eyes) Shiko: (manages a small smile at his aegyo) Minho and onew: eo! eo!! ... She's budging! She's budging!! Shiko: (clears and wipes the smile off her face)   Key: but still ... Its not TOO big of an issue, right? ... You wont be mad at our maknae forever, r-right?
