Minchan's POV:

"Oh my goodness, yes please." I answered sweetly early in the morning, my voice probably waking up everyone in the house. It was seven in the morning of January the 3^rd, and I didn't want to waste the day. After the horrible experience of being in a coma for two and a half years (well technically I couldn't truly feel the experience, but you understand what I mean, right?), I never want to waste a single moment for each day. I realized how important life could be, and it's best to live every day as if you were to die the following day.

"Yah, Minchan. What's with the commotion early in the morning?" Jongjin questioned, taking careful steps into the kitchen, not wanting to wake up anyone who may still be asleep. Shooting him a glare, he blinked, a bit surprised by my action. I pointed towards my phone and put a finger on my lips. "Ohhh." He then covered his lips, quickly bowing his head apologetically. Goodness, this Oppa of mine. "Today? I shall visit maybe near noon, will they be there?"

A wider smile grew on my lips, hearing the answer from the male on the other line. "Thank you so much sir. I'm glad they are under your hands after I left them for a while. I will see you then? Dance room right? I'll make lunch for them." After getting all my questions answered, we said our goodbyes. I hit that end button and placed the phone on the table. "I'm so thankful you guys got me a new phone yesterday and even kept the same number." I whispered, looking over at my brother.

"Who was that, Chan?" Jongjin finally asked, heading for the fridge, probably quenching his thirst with water. "That was one of Infinite's main managers." My eyes followed his actions, seeing his grasp was on a water bottle. I chuckled, seeing that my hunch was correct.

"Oh? What does he want with you?" His eyes met mine, turning the cap to open the bottle. "Oh, he heard a rumor that I was finally awake. So I guess he wanted to check up on me just to make sure it was false. I'm going to meet up with him and Infinite later today, just to surprise them. And maybe I can hang out with the girls, as in Minji and Chunhee with Seoyoung. It would spectacular to do that."

A bright smile met his lips. "I'm glad you're really happy, Minchan. But weren't you going to surprise them with that Reunion Party Uncle Song is setting up for you?" Slowly, I shook my head as I walked towards the fridge, pulling out a few ingredients to make breakfast and lunch things. Boy, isn't it grand that I woke up early? I can do all of these things and still doll up for those boys.

"Well, mostly it was to surprise Super Junior since, well, mother told us that some of them are really busy. And well, you know, Super Junior M is coming out with an music video and album. I want to see everyone when they're free and all." I explained softly, beginning to make the batter for some pancakes. "So, I might as well see Infinite and the girls now so that they can possibly help Uncle Song plan the Reunion Party."

"Ah, that makes sense. You're still very smart, Chan." I couldn't help but scoff, looking over at him after he made his remark. "Well, thank you for stating a fact that should never be forgotten. Now come on, you're awake, help me cook. You can choose bacon or sausages. Whatever you choose, you'll be cooking."

After a good morning breakfast with everyone, and as well as making some lunch boxes for Infinite, I headed to my room to freshen up. "Geez, you really do look different from behind, Minnie." I heard Seoyoung, who was sharing a room with me until I make a remark of living with her or not, state as she went through my closet. "What do you mean?" A "tsk" came from her, now her gaze at me. "Well, firstly, from what I remembered way back then, you are now a bit skinner and your figure comes out more."

I stared at myself in the mirror, hearing those things she said. "It is true, I can see where you're going from there." I agreed, looking over at her. "And yesterday, after that whole shopping spree and make over your father and uncle provided the money for, you look different from behind. I mean, your style of clothing is still the same, but your hair speaks for it all. It got longer, and you dyed your hair into a chestnut brown. And the way you layered it. You look different from behind." She explained, pulling out a the few of the many new clothes we bought during out shopping spree.

"I do agree, but I mean. Change is good right? I'm living and somewhat new. And you know, my parents wouldn't let me bleach my hair or do some pretty gold color." Seoyoung couldn't help but laugh loudly. "Oh god, even I wouldn't allow you to do that. You're just not that kind of person who would hold that hair color. Color is expression, and you, my dear, do not have so much attitude to maintain that look." I rolled my eyes. "Okay, that I do agree with."

As I finished myself up, with natural make up and clean teeth, Seoyoung found my outfit for the day. A simple outfit of vibrant blue jeggings, a beige wool knit sweater to cover up a simple black tank top, and brown combat boots. As for my bag, it would be a brown leather tote, matching perfectly with the outfit she picked out. "Are you sure that's an okay outfit in the middle of winter?" I asked her, a brow raising to show my doubt in it. "Trust me on this. Besides, I'm taking you there by a car, and you'll be inside the whole time. You won't be freezing your off, trust me."

I rolled my eyes as she continued to talk about fashion, how she was happy to be able to pick out my clothes when we shopped. If you wanted to know, Seoyoung, my best friend, is trying to be those famous Korean models that are known for good looks. The so called, "Ulzzang." The style of make up, the outfits and clothing, to even the accessories; she was brainwashed by that kind of fashion. And it got to the point where it affected some of my new clothing and make up styles, if she ever did my make up.

"Anyways, I need to get changed as well. I have to book a place at a restaurant and make your brother call your friends over and such." She said, finishing her own monologue of clothing and headed straight for her suitcase. I changed quickly into the chosen outfit and soon, I began to curl my hair.

And within the next ten minutes, we were ready to strut out of the house while looking fashionable. "Alrightie, let's go." Seoyoung helped bring in the lunch boxes into her car. "Who are you excited to see out of the Infinite crew?" She asked, turning on the ignition. Slipping on the seat belt and carefully hugging my bag, I thought for a bit. "I want to see all of them, honestly. I couldn't really pick a favorite."

I heard her scoff lightly as she pulled out of the drive way. "Come on, there has to be someone you favor the most and you can't wait to see them." She nudged, eyes always on the road. "Well... I guess Myungsoo... I mean, I know that Sungyeol, Howon, and Sunggyu were there when everything happened. But I mean, Myungsoo was my partner back then. And he really did anything to protect me. He is... Or maybe was, my best friend."

"Awww, maybe you should be with him instead of Sungmin." I shot a strong glare at her, and she could feel the intensity of the look. "Hey, I'm kidding. But I mean, think about it. When you were at the hospital, awake, everyone else tried to see you. What was his name, besides your brother... Zhou Mi? And your ex boyfriend, Henry? They continuously tried to see you, and Henry almost caused a scene from what your uncle explained. But where was Sungmin? I mean, he didn't even bother contacting your family when the so sudden and mysterious no visiting her anymore scene occurred. Only Henry and Zhou Mi tried. Myungsoo really did come over and talk to your mother and your brother. See? Isn't it weird?"

A small pout formed on my lips. All of that was true, he never tried to fight through to see me when I was awake. It was my wish that I would not be seen by anyone other than my family, excluding Jongwoon. Then, the image of that box next to that nightstand in the hospital room flashed in my mind. No, he didn't break up with me, I'm positive about that. "Ay, I'm sorry about that. I won't speak of it again." Seoyoung said, looking over with a smile. "Thanks." And soon, we began talking about whatever we wanted to.

"We're here." I looked up, seeing the familiar building where I used to go in every day. "It's noon... How long do you think you'll be in there?" She asked, parking near the entrance. "Heum, for a long time honestly. They are my boys." I unbuckled the belt, and reached over to the back seat, retrieving the plastic bags filled with their lunch. "Maybe around four or five you can come over and pick me up." I answered, looking up at her with my smile.

"Alright then, I'll see you in a few hours. I'll text you of my arrival." We said our goodbyes as I exited the vehicle, soon scurrying into the building for quick warmth.

The moment I entered, I could see two males sitting at the waiting area of the entrance hall. Goodness, everything looks the same. Even they, whom I worked with before, look the same. "Kim Minchan?" One asked, as the other shot his head up. Their gazes met mine, and I couldn't help but smile brightly. "Hi, it's been a long while, Hyoan and Jungryoul." 

Their expression brightened up as their names were called. "You look amazing, Minchan. I'm sure the President would love to see you as well. But now come on, the boys are in the dance studio. Dongwoo and Howon are practicing for their duo debut, and the others are watching." Hyoan explained, both of them getting up and walked off, with me following them. "Oh? That's nice to hear. Have they changed a lot since the last time I saw them?" Both of them shook their heads. "Nope, they are exactly the same.

We soon reached the dance studio, and a heavy beat was heard out in the hall from that studio. "Oh? They're going hip hop? Wait, that makes sense. It's Howon and Dongwoo." The two males chuckled, nodding at my observation. "Here, just look down a lot and follow me, I'll guide you to the tables where they can't really notice you quickly." Jungryoul explained as the song changed into a relaxed, yet still hip hop style of a song. 

Hyoan opened the door, walking in with a smile. "Boys, your lunch is ready." I could hear sighs of joy and words of happiness. Yes, these are my boys. "Good, we're starving." A smile perked on my lips as I heard Woohyun's voice. "We'll finish practicing a bit and then we'll eat." Dongwoo stated. "Alright, you boys do that."

Jungryoul entered, and I did as told when following him. I could feel a gazes on me, and I did my best to act shy and quiet. "Here, just place it here." He stated, and I nodded quietly while putting the bags down on the table. "Hyung, who's she?" Sungyeol asked, making me jump a bit. "Well, you could say we're mentoring her for a bit. The President is thinking of giving her a job." Hyoan explained.

I looked up at Jungryoul, who was smiling at me and standing at my left. "It's good to see you back." I heard a whisper from my right, making me jump a bit. Quickly, my eyes glanced to the side, only seeing Youngjun, their other manager. A sweet smile grew on my lips as I bowed my head, greeting him nicely. After the small greeting, I turned away, feeling a strong stare from Myungsoo. I tried to ignore it by putting out the lunch boxes out of the bag, but it was so strong. He was so close to piercing a hole through me with such a look.

"Oh? Is she going to be a manager for Jiae?" Sungjong asked, making me blink a bit. "Hmm, I don't think she will. She said she specifically wanted to manage a certain group." I couldn't help but smile, hearing Hyoan's explanation. "Oh no, if she's thinking of managing us, we're not allowing that. You know how we feel about female managers." Sunggyu bluntly stated, making my smile grow wider. "Yah, she's in the room. Show some respect to her." Jungryoul scolded, hearing a soft "Sorry" from the leader.

"You know... There's something about her..." I heard Sungyeol whisper, or at least he tried to whisper. Footsteps were heard, and my body stiffened, they were getting louder towards me. "What are you doing, Myungsoo?" The whisperer called out, pausing the footsteps. The mentioned male's body was slightly hovering mine, as I could see his silhouette on the tables. 

"You're so familiar, you know that?" And soon, I was turned around, facing the male. My eyes were at his chest, and soon I slowly looked up to meet his gaze. His expression changed from a cold one to a surprised one. And my smile grew once again. The others were peeking from behind him, trying to see me. "Min-minchan?" He stuttered out, and gasps were heard from the others.

"Yes, Myungsoo?" And in less than a second, I was pulled into a tight embrace. "Ahh! Myungsoo!" I called out with a bright smile, trying my best to return the hug. He was silent for a good minute, and slowly I looked up. There were tears pooling in his eyes. "Oh my, did you really miss me?" I asked. "Well yes, I thought I lost you." He whispered softly, pressing his forehead against mine. This was my best friend right here, and I couldn't help but find his sweet, sentimental side so charming.

"Aigoo, you love birds! Get a room!" Sungyeol yelled, making me laugh. The moment I pulled away from Myungsoo, I was taken into a group hug. I was in the center, and the six other boys just hugged to trap me. "We won't have you leave us again, Kim Minchan!" Howon yelled, and my happiness shot right through the roof. These boys are too special. "Ahh, you guys!"

And just like that, time flashed by so fast with them. I heard their accomplishments over the years I was gone, how much they've grown, how much they missed me, and so much more. And I was told I would be their manager once again, sooner or later. I soon said my goodbyes with them and left the building, reuniting with Seoyoung.

"How was everything?" I asked her, watching the road through the window. "It went fine. Jongjin said the girls will be there in twenty minutes. It'll be enough time for us to get there, relax and talk." She explained. "How about you? How did everything go with Infinite?" A smile grew on my lips as I instantly thought of them, and Myungsoo. "It went just as I wanted it to go." 

We finally arrived at the restaurant, heading to the back corner booth she had reserved for us. There, Jongjin was there. "Ahh, took you two long enough." I rolled my eyes, soon hitting his arm lightly. "Well, the two texted me, saying they'll be here soon." I sat next to him, with Seoyoung to my left. "Would it be weird since you're the only guy here?" I asked him. "Nah, I mean, it'll be nice. Having loads of attention from some pretty ladies." He leaned forward and looked at Seoyoung, winking at her with a greasy smile. "Oh gross, don't flirt with me."

After laughing and smiling, Jongjin got a call. "It's them, you know what to do." I nodded and escaped the booth, heading to the bathroom. It was their plan to have be some kind of surprise guest, and for Seoyoung to be his date. I mean, it did make sense if it was that way. Act as if he was introducing a girl who he was, and actually secretly is, interested in.

Checking myself in the mirror, my phone beeped. "You may come out now." I read out loud from Seoyoung's message. And quickly, I strutted out. 

"And well, I have another person coming over." I could hear my brother's voice. "Ah really? You have someone else to show us that isn't your date?" I smiled wide, hearing Minji's voice, describing that she was in utter shock. "Yeah, she's this girl's best friend." A chuckle was heard from Seoyoung. "I hope you don't mind. She just came back home a few days ago, and she needed some friends. So I was hoping that this gathering could help her feel more welcomed and such." Oh Seoyoung, you're so smart. "That's no problem with me. It'll be fun to make some new friends." Chunhee said happily, making me giggle quietly.

Soon, I came out, walking towards their booth. "Oh, there she is. Channie!" I looked up, seeing Seoyoung wave at me. The other two girls turned their heads. They paused, and finally they reacted with their eyes widening. "Minchan?" They questioned in unison, making me chuckle. "Hey, I'm back."

And just like what happened with Infinite, they got up and ran to me, hugging me so tightly in a group hug. "Oh my god, you're finally awake! Is that why they kept rejected us to see you!? So that you can rest more as you were awake?" Question after question, I was shot with them. "Aigoo, I'll answer every question you have. But at least have me sit down and eat with you guys."

And with these four, two hours passed just like that. We ate and we talked for such a long time. The two girls told me stories as I introduced them officially to Seoyoung. I was able to answer all their questions. "Ahm, are you thinking of living with us again? Yesung would love that! Oh! We must tell the guys that you're back!" Quickly, I shook my head. "No no, Uncle Song is going to prepare a Reunion Party to surprise them that I'm back. I want you four to really help him out, alright? I have to rest more as well as just do other things." They nodded, happily ready to help the host of the party.

"Okay, now that you've told me everything, everything. I should ask, since you never mentioned it. How is Sungmin? Is he okay? I miss him so much that it hurts a lot." I explained, pouting a bit afterwards. Jongjin and Seoyoung were just as impatient as I was with their answer. However, the two girls looked at each other, their gazes having them secretly speak to one another.  What? Why can't they flat out tell me?

"He's alright, just like the others... Uhm, he doesn't really speak about his feelings so much as before... So.. I'm sure he misses you." Chunhee explained softly, stuttering out a few of her words. "Does he really miss her?" Seoyoung bluntly asked, sounding a bit upset with how Chunhee answered. "Lee Seoyoung." I scolded softly, shooting a look at her. "What? If she was being truthful about your boyfriend, she wouldn't be stuttering so much. And like she said, she is his younger sister." 

I let out a sigh, but then smiled small. "Well, I'm sure there's something going on that she doesn't want me to know." Again, Minji and Chunhee shared eye contact. It looked as if they were debating about telling me something concerning Sungmin. "I'll find out soon, right?" They slowly nodded, looking over at me with a small smile. "Of course."

Soon, we finished our little get together and said our goodbyes. We headed straight home, not bothering to stop by into any other places. But during that whole car ride, I couldn't help but wonder, what is going on with my love, Lee Sungmin?
