Yuri P.O.V

I woke up feeling slightly exhausted…and having a headache. As I opened my eyes I looked around trying to remember where I was…but all I could remember it was that I could not remember seeing this place before.

Minho P.O.V

“AHHHHHH!” I heard a scream then a few moments later I found myself with the face on the floor

“WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU WOMAN?!” I said annoyed as I rubbed my face

“ERT!” Shouted Yuri then she started to  throw in me with the pillows

“Stop it women! Let’s talk this out!”

“Fine…you have 1 minute to explain why I was sleeping with you…and most importantly why you were hugging me?!” said Yuri then she started to count “1…2…3 hurry up you have only 57 seconds left!”

“You were having a nightmare…you were screaming...crying… so I went to you and woke you up! You woke up and then you hugged me and you cried until you fell asleep! Because your sheets were all wet I…brought you to sleep here so you won’t catch a cold” I explained the short version of the story

“Fine…you are off the hook…still next time…next time just pretend you heard nothing.” Said Yuri then she put the pillow on the bed and walked out of the room

“YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO SAY “THANKS MINHO!”.”  I shouted making sure she’ll hear me

“Whatever you say!” she said in her usual, nonchalant way

I was rinsing the dishes when I heard Jjong entering in the kitchen. You’re probably wondering why Jjong is walking so freely…well the answer it’s more than obvious everyone is out. Key has gone to buy more clothes; Taemin is at school…I know how it sounds because none of my masters used to go to school, but apparently Taemin has matured and now understands the importance of school…and Onew is out doing only he knows what. So in conclusion it’s only me, Jjong and of course Jonghyun in the house. The puppy came to me and started to me with his small, wet tongue trying to get my attention. I looked at him and started to laugh silently because he looked really cute…apparently Jonghyun has befriended with his “twin” and decided to “borrow” him his cap

*Aigoo…what did you do.?* I thought while picking up Jjong *We would better give that back to Jonghyun!* I took he cap from the puppy’s head then went to Jonghyun’s room to put it back. In the moment I opened the door I saw a dreadful scene: Jonghyun was shaking badly

I quickly ran to his side and started to shake him worriedly. *Jonghyun please wake up. Please open your eyes!* I prayed as tears started to stream down my face. I tried to calm then I quickly prepared a bowl with water and a towel and I started to wipe Jonghyun’s sweat

“Jes…si…ca!” he mumbled my name though he wasn’t even aware

*Pabo…don’t think about me, think about yourself. Don’t waste your energy whispering my name...just rest so that you will be fine!*

Yuri P.O.V

“Earlier” said Minho then he stopped probably thinking if to continue or not “Earlier you said that next time I should pretend that I didn’t hear anything, so it means that you are sure that you are going to have that nightmare again! Do you have that nightmare often?”

 “It’s none of your business!” I said coldly *Why does he have to be so observant?*

“You had it before isn’t it? Is it him? Did he do something to you apart from stalking you? Did he hurt you in another way?” continued Minho totally ignoring my previous comment. His tone was soft yet really firm.

“No…he did nothing…it’s just me. I guess I am still stressed because of what happened!”

“I see!” said Minho understanding” Eat quickly then dress up. We are going out!”

“Why? Where are we going I asked confused?”

“Out! To help you release your stress!”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jonghyun P.O.V

“Hmm…” I mumbled as I opened my eyes. My mouth was really dry and I felt impossibly tired though all I have done was to sleep continuously

*Why is a towel on my forehead?* I thought after realizing that there was a pink piece of material on my head then I saw Jessica sleeping near my bed. Her expression seemed worried.* I must have had fever. *

“Jessica…Jessica” I said softly as I poked her pink cheeks “Wake up!”. Though I hated myself for waking her up because she seemed drained of energy still I thought it was the best decision because the floor was cold and her sleeping position seemed uncomfortable. She slowly opened her eyes then in the moment she saw me a big smile spread on her face. She placed her hand on my forehead then a moment later she made an OK sign. She quickly got up and got out of my room then she returned a few moments later carrying a big bowl of porridge which had an enormous quantity of carrots in it

**Eat up! It will help you get better. **

“I don’t want to! It has carrots in it! I hate carrots!” I complained because indeed carrots had been one of my most hatred enemy since long time ago

**That’s stupid! How can you hate something that is healthy for your body? Come on eat up!** said Jessica then she stubbornly took a big spoon with porridge and feed it to me.

“Ok but only because you said so!” I said then opened my mouth and ate it.”Hm…hm! I can’t eat it!”  I said defeated then spit the porridge in a napkin

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jessica P.O.V

“Please…please get out of here!” begged Jonghyun weakly. I listened him because something in his voice told me that he needed to be alone

*I’ve never seen someone reacting so badly over some carrots…it’s like he would be sacred of them!*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yuri P.O.V

 “That was an awesome movie

“I know, it was so impressive. All those special effects…the way that car exploded…everything seemed so real!” said Minho sounding really enthusiast

“Yeah…it has impressed me too!”

“I bet your dream had more special effects then the romantic comedy I have struggled to watch! Said Minho glaring at me

*Oops…it seems that I’ve been caught!*

“So you know?!” I said more like confirming than asking

“How could I not to know when you have been drooling on my jacket!”

“No way! I couldn’t have done that!” I said feeling really embarrassed but of course that I tried to cover up my embarrassment “Anyway, can you blame me for sleeping? That movie was so cheesy.”

 “Still, you should have put in some effort, the only reason I picked that movie was because I know girls like those kind of movies that end  with “happy ever after”.”

“Well I don’t believe in “happy ever after”. “

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Minho P.O.V

*She doesn’t believe in happy ever after? This girl surely has a weird personality. I wonder what made here come to this conclusion?*

“Why don’t you believe in it?” I asked interested

“Come on, it’s stupid! Everyone believes that Snow white and the price , Cinderella and the prince, Belle and the beast are happy because the author says so but no one thinks beyond that; no one wonders what if the prince cheats on the Snow white with another woman, or what if Cinderella can’t have kids so the prince leaves her for another woman that can give him a son, or whether Belle and the beast are too different so they decide to go on separate ways?! Happy every after is a cliché that only kids believe in. “

*I wonder who hurt you so bad that you can’t even believe in the power of love?!* I wondered curious still even though I was dying of curiosity somehow I knew that it was better not to ask anything.

“What do you want to do next?” I said switching the topic

“I can choose anything?” asked Yuri incredulous  

“Sure, as long as it won’t make you drool on my jacket!” I

“I’m home! ACHOO! ” announced Key as soon as he entered on the door

*Jjong , it’s time for you to take a nap!* I thought while hiding the puppy in my room, then I went to help Key with his bags.

“Oh…you’re here! How is Jonghyun, is he feeling better?” asked Key worried “Write faster. I had been really worried the whole day because of him! Achoo!”

**He had fever but I took care of him and now he’s fine!**

“You don’t seem to convinced about it? Should I take him to the hospital?ACHOO” asked Key serious

*He must care for Jonghyun a lot. I’ve never seen him so worried before! Actually, he’s been the same a few weeks ago when Minho was sick. Under Key’s mask of arrogance is a very gentle guy!*

“Hello…I asked you something!” said Key while waving his hand in front of my face

**I don’t know, well…he doesn’t have fever anymore but he didn’t seem too happy either. He even kicked me out of his room after I tried to feed him some porridge!**

“Porridge? Where is it? Where is the porridge you cooked?” asked Key looking really worried

I signaled him to follow me, and then once we got in the kitchen I showed him the porridge I had cooked for Jonghyun. Upon seeing the porridge Key’s went pale. He took the porridge and went to the bathroom and threw it in the toilet.

“Never…but absolutely never, feed Jonghyun a carrot!” said Key categorical “Jonghyun…he has a phobia of carrots!”

**Why?**

“I can’t tell you! If Jonghyun wants to tell you, then you’ll find out one day.For now all you have to know is that you must not feed him carrots, actually you don’t even have to show it to him .”

*Now I am really curious what triggered this phobia for carrots!*

Minho P.O.V

 “OH…come on, let’s dance. Don’t stay here like a fool, this is a club!”  said Yuri then she pouted like a small kid trying to convince me to dance with her

“Don’t want to! Anyway, this was your idea of having fun, dancing with girls that can’t keep their cloths on and guys that smell like sweat and alcohol? “ I asked while looking disgusted around me. Despite that my own father owned a few clubs still I’ve never been a fan of it. Each time I would go to one of my father’s clubs I would sit in the back listening music or playing video games. And my father’s clubs are way nicer than this one where Yuri brought me.

“Come on, don’t ruin my fun!” begged Yuri in a sweet voice that I had never got to hear until then

“No…to be honest dancing is not my thing!” I confessed so in the end Yuri went to dance alone

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yuri P.O.V

“May I have a dance?”  a familiar voice hissed in my ear while I was dancing making me freeze. “Don’t dare to run! Start to walk towards the back door!” ordered his servant then I felt a cold object touching my skin

A/N: HELLO MY DEAR READERS!Ok...so the contest still continues.Some of you tried to guess already why Yuri says about herself that she's defect and you were somehow right because Yuri indeed had quite a bad past.Today I gave you another clue ( it's writen with italics) and that is that Yuri can't have kids!Anyway, I hope I don't confuse you too much...and I hope that moreof you will try to guess.

Jonghyun as you could see Jonghyun has a really bad relationship with carrots (I know that it sounds weird) anyway, this will be explained in the next chapter probably, when you'll find more about Jonghyun's past!

As you could see Yuri is in big danger...again but no worries because Minho; s there.

Anyway...I hope you liked this update though it wasn't really much of it.
