-Hei Ryung-

“Bye Guys!” I call waving to them while they get in their cars, to head home and finish packing and no doubt tomorrow’s graduation. “See you tomorrow!”

“Bye!” Sang Hee calls getting in the car last, all three of them waving to me as they drive off.

“Your friends I take it?” Key asks peeking his head out.

Nodding my head closing while closing the door I smile at him sheepishly. “I’m sorry we took a while.”

“Aniyo,” Key says happily stepping out of the room. “We were fine, although our friends are probably getting hungry and impatient.”

“Oh, well I think it’s safe for you guys to head back.” I tell him checking out the windows. “It looks pretty safe to me.”

“Key- Hyung Taemin just texted me saying Jonghyun and Onew Hyung are whining.” Minho says chuckling. “Something about starving.”

“Have you eaten?” Key asks turning to me.

Gulping I shake my head, I don’t really know how to respond to that…and his gaze is a little scary. “I was going to order some Chinese food.”

“Aniyo.” Minho and Key say together unhappily. “Real food.”

“I don’t feel like cooking.” I whine looking at the kitchen, practically unused since my parents left. “Besides I’ll have left over’s.”

“Aniyo.” Key says dissatisfied. “You’ll eat with us, and it’s getting late, as gentlemen what kind would we be if we left you here all alone?”

“Valiant.” I try smiling; he’s not making this easy. “I’ve been here alone for a while now.” Geez, I sound a little border line sad now.

“Aniyo, we’d like to repay you for being so hospitable, and helping us out so much.” Minho says happily.

“That and we need a guide on getting out of the neighborhood.” Key adds. “Come on, it’s just dinner.”

Pouting I look at the clock, eight, it is getting dark, and I do need to eat. “I guess.”

“Good.” Key says happily. “Minho help me get the groceries. Hei Ryung, grab some sunglasses and put a hat on along with your hood.” He commands me heading to the kitchen.

Nodding my head and following along with his instructions, something tells me it’d make this whole trip go faster, and easier.

Within ten minutes we’re stopping at the convenience store, at my request, while Minho and Key wait outside I quickly buy them some banana milk. Walking out with the bag they both stare at it.

“What’s that?”

“A surprise.” I tell Key. “Come on let’s just go.” I mutter looking around uncomfortably. “We look suspicious.”

Pretty soon Minho and Key are leading me further and further into Seoul, finally we arrive at this really nice apartment complex, I mean as far as they go. “Here?”

“Neh.” Key says happily. “It’s nice to be back home; your home is nice too.” He adds looking over his shoulder.

“Thanks?” I say following them inside. “But really I don’t think this is necessary, I mean…You don’t have to feed me.” I whine to them looking around.

“Hei Ryung really you’re still fighting this?” Key asks me arrogantly. “Just accept that I’d like to thank you personally for hiding us, getting us away, and even showing us around a little bit.”

“I hate how he puts it.” I mutter. “Makes it sound like I saved the world.”

“Get used to it. Key will phrase anything to his advantage.” Minho whispers to me. “Don’t worry though, we really are thankful.”

“I guess.” I mutter as we enter the lobby, getting on the elevator Key, humming to himself; obviously he’s self-satisfied with all of this. Silently we exit, me following behind Minho as Key types in a code, hearing a few screams of joy.

“KEY! MINHO!” Three boys yell happily, Taemin, Onew and Jonghyun obviously.

“Hyungs what took so long?” Taemin whines. “Who’s that?”

“Taemin that’s…” Jonghyun says turning his head to get a better look at me. “Yah, who is this?”

“Don’t be rude.” Key says to them, “Help in the kitchen.”

“Neh.” They chorus.

“You can come out of hiding now.” Minho whispers. “They’ve already spotted you.”

Sighing I look up at him. “They’re a bit much.”

Minho just smiles at me kindly. “Come on; let’s go see what Key-Hyung is making.” Minho says leading me into the dorm.

“Guys this is Hei Ryung, she helped us out when we really needed it.” Key explains. “I’m going to make dinner.”

“Hello.” They say ignoring Key’s last statement. “Well I guess it’s a relief you didn’t stalk them here.” Onew says.

Awkwardly I look past him at Key, who’s shaking his head in dismay. “YAH! What did I tell you about being rude?”

“Oh.” He says bowing to me. “I’m Onew.”

“I’m Jonghyun.”

“I’m Taemin, thank-you for helping my hyungs.”

Bowing, while blushing I manage to introduce myself. “Hello, I’m Hei Ryung.”

“Why don’t you go sit in the living room, I’m sure they’d love to entertain you.” Key says ushering me out.

“Did you buy the banana milk?” Taemin asks looking through the bags.

“Aniyo.” Minho says apologetically. “We were spotted before we could buy some.”

“Actually, that’s why I had us stop.” I tell them looking down at the bag in my hands. “I bought some.”

“Wae?!” Key and Minho ask turning to look at me.

“Neh, I thought since you know that’s the only reason you guys were found out I’d buy some.” I tell them setting it down. “I wasn’t sure what size, so I just got a medium size.”

“Noona!” Taemin squeals hugging me. “Thank-you!”

Nodding my head I pat his back. “No problem.”

“Hei Ryung you just keep helping.” Key says happily. “Now go sit out there until I finish.” He commands pushing Taemin and me out.

“Hyung must really like you.” Taemin says chuckling. “He doesn’t normally do all this.”

“Well I tried fighting it, but you guys must know how that ends.” I tell him joking.

Jonghyun pops from behind us. “In failure. I know.”

“You’d know better than most of us.” Taemin shoots out smiling happily. “Come on noona let’s play a video game!”

“Aniyo, I’m not good.” I try, of course though I suppose I should know by now, my excuses won’t put up much with these guys.

“Give it a try, we’ll teach you!” Jonghyun spouts happily leading me to sit down quickly with them. “Onew Hyung come on!” He calls excitedly. “We’re going to teach Hei Ryung!”

As he says this Onew comes flying out of the kitchen with an excited face, him jumping for joy, apparently the leader love video games too. “Oh boy!”

After awhile I just started asking for them to show me how to, this got me out of playing the majority of the time.

“Hei Ryung!” Minho calls from the kitchen. “Come here for a second?”

“Neh.” I call hopping of the couch. “Have fun.” I tell them walking into the kitchen.

Key and Minho are quickly making a delicious dinner. “You out smarted them?” He asks.

“I wouldn’t say that.” I tell him bashfully. “I really don’t care for playing video games much is all.” I explain.

“I don’t blame you.” Key says distastefully. “If they had it their way they’d sit there all day.”

Giggling I take a seat at the counter. “So you guys seem…happy?” I try looking at them cook, and past the hall into the living room where the other three are busily having fun shooting things in the game.

“Neh, a little family.” Key says stirring something. “We really could use a new friend though.”

“Ah.” Minho says tasting whatever is in the pout to Key’s annoyance. “You’re right hyung.”

Key glares at him. “YAH! Don’t do that!” Key nags him unhappily. “You’ll ruin the food!”

“Aniyo.” Minho says adding a little spice or something to it. “It needs a little bit of this.”

Key complying stirs in the added ingredient. “See, we could use someone like you.”

“Aniyo, I’m…” I try to think of something to make Key drop it, but I can’t. “A stranger?”

Key and Minho give me a look. “Really? You save our lives, entertain those three, and buy Taemin Banana Milk and you’re still a stranger?” Key asks annoyed.

“Neh?”

“Oh please.” Key says, and now I see the diva. “Do get the others please? Minho set the table.”

Sulking out into the living room I stare at the three. “Dinner is almost ready.”

“Key pull a diva?” Taemin calls without looking. “It sounds like it.”

“I guess.” I say taking my seat back. “I tried telling him I’m a stranger.”

“Not the best one to try.” Jonghyun says; his mouth slightly gaped as he kills Taemin.

“Hyung!” Taemin whines instantly. “We’re on the same team!”

“Oh.” He says, shamelessly. “I forgot.”

Taemin pouting sets the controller down. “Anyways what were you trying to get out of?”

“Staying.” I mutter watching the screen. “I have other things to do.”

“Like?” Onew asks. “Don’t get me wrong, I know we’re a little crazy to be around, but if Key has his way, and he will, you’ll get used to us.”

“Hyung thanks for the direct insult at us all.” Taemin says sighing. “Really though we’re not all bad.”

“I guess.” I says shrugging my shoulders. “But I do have a graduation to get ready for.”

“By?” Jonghyun asks.

“Sleeping.” I tell them tilting my head. “Something tells me that Key won’t go for that though.”

“Correct.” Onew says happily killing Jonghyun. “YES!”

“ANIYO!” Jonghyun says sadly. “Hei Ryung!” He whines leaning his head on my shoulder. “Kiss to make me feel better?”

“Aniyo, you lost.” I tell him shrugging him off.

“Dinner is ready.” Key calls.

Getting up in a line we follow Onew, who’s dancing from pure joy of beating Jonghyun. “I take it back, maybe you should have won.” I say watching Onew happily dance.

“See.” Jonghyun says batting his eyelashes at me, although I’m soon distracted by Onew falling.

Laughing, I fall to the ground. “Omo…I thought you faked it.”

“Aniyo!” He cries sadly. “You’re not going to help?” He cries, sort of cutely.

Nodding my head after getting up I pull Onew up as well. “Serves you though.” I say skipping past them into the kitchen. I suppose Taemin is right, they aren’t all, bad and this is just dinner, maybe Key will lose interest in me and let me go on with my life as I pretend that I never met them or like Onew said, Key will have his way and I’ll end up spending all my time with them… But I suppose this would qualify for having a good two weeks?

Here is the next chapter guys (: I hope you liked it!!
