Sam's POV :) (Lee Sora)

We've been giving out all the invitations lately for all the ones who I want to invite on my birthday party. It's going to be a pool party and I can't wait. It is not the usual type of party with roses, gowns or anything. I want it to be an intimate one. Together with L oppa, my Filipino parents went to the said venue at a hotel.

Jared: He's your new boyfriend?
Sam: Yeah, Kim Myungsoo aka L of Infinite.
Jared: What happened between you and Donghae?
Sam: I.. It's a long story. Been there, done that.
Jared: Anyways, is the venue okay? We have already taken care of the foods and invitations. I think they have received it already.
Sam: Thanks, kuya* :) Be sure to wear your swimsuits along the way.
Jared: Oo naman! Pupunta ba si Yuri? Nako, kailangan kong magpagwapo! (Of course! Will Yuri come to your party? I have to look handsome!)
Sam: Of course. All SM stars are welcome *smiles*
Jared: About your boyfriend, as long as he doesn't hurt you, it's fine. If ever he does, World War III is about to start.
Sam: Thank you, oppa. *smiles*
Jared: You're growing into a beautiful lady, indeed.
Sam: Aish oppa. Don't be such a joker. Keke~
Jared: When are you going to reveal your relationship with him?
Sam: At the right time. *smiles*

* Kuya is Oppa in Filipino language.

Miyu's POV :) (Choi Mika)

I woke up, still wearing my outfit yesterday. How the hell did I end up in here?

Eunhyuk: Good morning, jellyfish.
Miyu: What are you doing here?
Eunhyuk: Do you want something to eat for breakfast?
Miyu: Get out of here.
Eunhyuk: Ham, bacon, eggs? Or me?
Miyu: *kicks him out* I can do things on my own!
Eunhyuk: I love you!

What the heck has gotten into this guy? Damn it. Just damn it!

I went to the dining table to eat first. I was the only one left, I wonder why.

Eunhyuk: I cooked breakfast for the both of us, jellyfish.
Miyu: Damn it. Leave me alone.
Eunhyuk: I won't.
Miyu: Where did they go?
Eunhyuk: Sora is arranging her party, Haneul and Hana went to the grocery, Eun Mi and Ailee went to play dance revo together.
Miyu: I haven't forgotten what you did to me.
Eunhyuk: That's why I'm sorry and I'm making it up to you right now.
Miyu: *drinks coffee* Go home already. I'm going to take a bath now.
Eunhyuk: Should I prepare the bath tub for you? Or should I scrub your back instead?
Miyu: S-shut up.

He's so makulit! (mischievous). Can't he just leave me alone right now?

I was alone, and I went to get a cold shower. Perfect way to start my day even if that clingy anchovy ruined it.

Kai's POV :)

Sehun: Ya Kai. What's up with you? You've been checking out on your wallpaper for a while now.
Kai: Eh? You were saying?
Sehun: *gets phone* Aish. I knew it. You're crazy about her. You even set her picture as a wallpaper.
Kai: So what if I did? I know all 6 of us do!
Xiumin: I heard that she's alone at the dorm today. EXP members are busy and she just woke up. Haneul told me.
Chen: If that's the case, then let's go!
Kai: Who's going to drive?
Kris: I will.
Chanyeol: That's our hyung! Keke~

Ae Young's POV :)

I-DOLLS practiced for today, but I wasn't able to concentrate well because of Ryeowook oppa and I. I feel so bad when he told me he likes someone else in front of me.

Cherry was with us, the new member of I-DOLLS. Seeing her makes me want to confront her regarding her close friend.

Cherry: Ae Young, aren't you going to join us?
Ae Young: Mianhae. Cherry, may I ask you something?
Cherry: Yeah sure, what is it?
Ae Young: Does your best friend Mika have a crush on Ryeowook oppa?
Cherry: Wait, what?
Ae Young: Seriously.
Cherry: No. She and Eunhyuk oppa are the ones who are in love with each other.
Ae Young: Jinjja?
Cherry: Waeyo?
Ae Young: It's just that..
Cherry: Ah, is it because of the musical? Don't worry. It's just business. Mika would never steal anyone from someone's taken.
Ae Young: It's just that, my boyfriend is starting to like her.
Cherry: Everyone likes her. Either you hate her or you like her.

Of course Cherry would be subjective. She's closer to Mika anyway. Aish. What am I going to do this time?

Sam's POV :) (Lee Sora)

L: Sora, what did your brother said to you about me?
Sam: He's okay with our relationship as long as you don't hurt me.
L: I can't promise you that.
Sam: Why?
L: Love without pain is impossible.
Sam: I know.
L: You know how I will hurt you?
Sam: Aniyo.
L: *hugs her* With this.
Sam: I don't mind. It feels good anyway.
L: My Sora is turning into a sweet lady.
Sam: Yes, a perfect lady just for you.
L: You're already perfect in my eyes.

I hate to compare but when with L oppa, I feel so happy. I guess he is more matured, and I prefer guys who are that way. He is very sweet and manly, way better than what I have expected.

Miyu's POV :) (Choi Mika)

I feel a bit shy right now knowing that Eunhyuk is outside. I can't let him see me like this.

Wait a minute. Where is my towel? My pink towel is gone! Where could it possibly be?

Eunhyuk: Jellyfish!
Miyu: AHHHHHH!!!!!!! GET OUT OF HERE YOU DAMN ERT!!!!
Eunhyuk: *still looking* You forgot your towel.
Miyu: I SAID GET OUT! DAMN IT!!

I slammed the door right at his face, blushing completely.

He saw me . Damn it. Just damn it. The more he wants to talk to me, the more of a troublemaker he becomes.

Miyu: Hey.. This is not my towel. Ya Eunhyuk!!

Eunhyuk entered again, while I placed that blue towel on my body.

Eunhyuk: You got my towel, jellyfish.
Miyu: You ert. Give my pink towel right this instance!!
Eunhyuk: You give my towel first.
Miyu: No! Give that to me first!
Eunhyuk: *sticks tongue out* No. Not until you chase me!
Miyu: you, Hyukjae!
Eunhyuk: Right now? Sure!
Miyu: Aish!

We kept on running at the living room, like children. When I caught him at the sofa, I grabbed my towel from him, and his blue towel fell off on my body.

Someone opened the door, and Eunhyuk got shocked.

Eunhyuk: Oh my God.

Kai's POV :)

Kai: Mika! Good morni.... Whoa!

What the heck did I just saw? Her.. without...

Miyu: DAMN IT GET OUT OF HERE!! ERTS! BYUNTAES! I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU ALL AGAIN!

She was embarrassed, and she kicked out all of us in the room. When Kris hyung and the rest are about to enter, they got shocked seeing us at the floor.

Kai: Lord, forgive me for I have sinned.
Eunhyuk: Am I hallucinating?
Chen: *tries to open the door* Mika?
Kai and Eunhyuk: DO YOU WANT TO DIE?

What I've seen a while ago, is definitely making my mind dirty and I can't stop thinking about it.

Chanyeol: Eunhyuk hyung, Kai, your noses are bleeding!
Kai: Uh-oh.

Miyu's POV :) (Choi Mika)

I can't show my face anymore to Kai oppa or that stupid Eunhyuk. Why does he have to make my life miserable? I hate him so much!

I wore thick clothing because I was very traumatized. No matter what I wear, I feel so .

I went to the rehearsals for today, but Sora and the rest were not here.

Except Ae Young.

Sam's POV :) (Lee Sora)

In a few days, my birthday party is here. For formality's sake, I invited Donghae oppa and Eunhyuk oppa. Even if they did, things will never be the same anymore because the romantic feeling is gone. I don't know with Donghae oppa, though.

L oppa and I held hands in the process, seeing the venue being designed in a club-like way, which I prefer the most.

L: What kind of gift would you like to receive?
Sam: You know what? I already got you. What more can I ask for?
L: That's so sweet. *smiles*
Sam: Seriously, oppa. This is more than what I could ask for.
L: I'm so lucky I fell in love with you.
Sam: Me too, oppa.

Miyu's POV :) (Choi Mika)

Ae Young: Hey, Mika.
Miyu: Hi, Ae Young. What brings you here?
Ae Young: We need to talk.

There was a table at the lobby and we decided to sit there. With the tone of her voice, I think there's something bothering her.

Miyu: What do you want to talk about?
Ae Young: Mika sshi, what do you think of Ryeowook oppa?
Miyu: Why did you ask?
Ae Young: Just answer me, jebal.
Miyu: He's a good friend of mine. However, he bullies me most of the time just because I look younger than him. Why?
Ae Young: Do you have special feelings for him?
Miyu: I don't. He is like a big brother to me, just like Siwon oppa.
Ae Young: What if you knew he had feelings for you after all?
Miyu: *laughs* Him? Have feelings for me? I don't think so. I mean, what's the basis? He's a bully, and I don't think he thinks of me as more of a little sister.
Ae Young: You're wrong.
Miyu: Why are you asking me these questions?
Ae Young: Isn't it obvious? Ryeowook oppa likes you. That bullying side of him is his way to get closer to you.
Miyu: You've got to be kidding me.
Ae Young: If this was a prank I wouldn't have wasted my time talking to you.
Miyu: How did you end up with that conclusion?
Ae Young: He told me right away. You see, Choi Mika, Ryeowook oppa hates me for being so clingy. Well, can't you blame me for being jealous because of the kiss scene you had with him?
Miyu: That was not a part of the plan. I was shocked when he did it.
Ae Young: Admit it, you liked it.
Miyu: I don't. I told him I don't want him to do it again.
Ae Young: Stop acting like you don't know anything. Obviously, a lot of guys are into you, yet you kept on playing with them.
Miyu: That is not true. I just broke up with Eunhyuk, so how am I supposed to have a new boyfriend right away?
Ae Young: If you're not really interested with my boyfriend, prove it to me and stay away from him. Ditch the role, or do whatever it takes.
Miyu: I cannot ditch this just because of that. Ae Young, do whatever you want or think whatever you like, I won't sacrifice my project just because you think of me that way.
Miyu: Don't even dare to tell me that I play with boys because I never did. If Ryeowook oppa likes me, then maybe it's you who has attitude problems. Do you think I don't know what's going on? He's been telling me about you being so clingy and possessive. Now I know why.

Ae Young tried to slap me, but I spinned her arm until it almost break.

Miyu: Mom never slapped me that way. What makes you think I can let you land your filthy hand on my face? Think again. You're wasting my time.

Ever since I encountered es, I have learned how to defend myself.

Ryeowook oppa and I bumped into each other and I gave him a dirty look.

Ryeowook: Ya, what's wrong?
Miyu: Ask your girlfriend.

Ryeowook's POV :)

What happened between Ae Young and Mika? Did they had a fight?

Ryeowook: Ae Young, what are you doing here?
Ae Young: What, I'm the bad one once again?
Ryeowook: Stop being overly interpretative, Park Ae Young! If this is about the kiss scene, fine! It was my fault! Why did you have to go here and speak bad things about her?
Ae Young: Because she's stealing you away from me!
Ryeowook: Damn it. She's not.
Ae Young: Ditch that damn musical already!
Ryeowook: I won't! This is my dream! I won't let you hinder my dream. If you love me, you will support me!

I left Ae Young that time. I almost cried. A girlfriend should support her boyfriend, not bring her down like this.

Eunhyuk's POV :)

Kai and I were at EXP's dorm, still shocked and traumatized as well. Jellyfish is probably really mad at me right now.

Eunhyuk: My eyes, my innocent eyes.
Kai: I feel like my innocence has been taken away from me.
Eunhyuk: I was easily.
Kai: Now what?
Chen: You erts! Eunhyuk hyung, why did you stole her towel?
Eunhyuk: I didn't know it was hers!
Chen: Did you see everything?
Kai: *blush*
Sehun: Byuntae alert.
Eunhyuk: Let's apologize later.
Kai: Hyung, I'm not yet done with you.

Ryeowook's POV :)

Ae Young: Ryeowook oppa, don't leave me all the sudden!
Ryeowook: I'm so disappointed in you. Don't talk to me.
Ae Young: I'm so sorry.
Ryeowook: Look at how I interact with Mika and you will see what's wrong with you.

I went on with the rehearsals, and never mind Ae Young.

Miyu: Ryeowook oppa, don't do that kiss scene again.
Ryeowook: I'm sorry. I have to keep it real.
Miyu: Even so, Ae Young is mad at me.
Ryeowook: She just got jealous.
Miyu: Easy for you to say.
Ryeowook: What the ?
Miyu: Wae geurae?
Ryeowook: *blush* I'm busted.
Miyu: Well sad to say, I won't and I can't accept your feelings for me.
Ryeowook: But why?
Miyu: Ae Young is your girlfriend. I can't let you cheat on her because of me.
Ryeowook: You hurt my feelings.
Miyu: Better now than never. I'm sorry, Ryeowook oppa.

That broke my heart all of the sudden.

Miyu: I'm going to Ae Young right now.

Ae Young's POV :)

Miyu: Ae Young, come here.
Ae Young: Why?
Miyu: I rejected him. Happy now?
Ae Young: M-mianhae.
Miyu: I won't let him cheat on you. But the issue right now is not this but how you ended up saying those things about me. Don't even dare to judge me because you don't know me at all.
Ae Young: I'm sorry I got carried away.
Miyu: Leave the rehearsals right now. For 48 hours, let him forget his feelings for me.
Ae Young: It's not easy as it seems.
Miyu: Damn it. Let's try it before you say anything.
Ae Young: What if he doesn't come back?
Miyu: So be it. Use the remaining hours to improve your personality. Damn it. No communications or whatever.

Can Ryeowook oppa really return to me in 48 hours?

Ryeowook's POV :)

Miyu: Kim Ryeowook. Don't communicate with her for 2 days. Let go of these feelings you have for me. Please.
Ryeowook: You're hurting me a lot. What you're asking is not easy.
Miyu: I know you're just infatuated or carried away because we're a couple in the play. After this, you must return to Ae Young.
Ryeowook: Don't tell me what to do.

The play rehearsals started once again and we tried to avoid each other without other people noticing.

I got rejected by Choi Mika, and it hurts a lot. Even Ae Young stayed away and followed Mika's orders.

I guess we're never meant to be.

No kissing scene, just our heads tilting.

Eunhyuk's POV :)

Eunhyuk: Jellyfish!
Miyu: Get out.

I looked around and looked also at her from head to toe. I was dying to see it again.

Miyu: What are you doing?
Eunhyuk: You look good with or without clothes on. *smirks*
Miyu: *kicks him*
Eunhyuk: Hey I was just kidding!
Miyu: I hate you!!

I carried her from the car, like what I did when we first met.

Miyu: L-let me go.
Eunhyuk: Please talk to me.
Miyu: What am I doing as of the moment? Pabo. What is there to talk to?
Eunhyuk: I want you back.
Miyu: I don't. With what you did a while ago, I don't think I can still forgive you for that. Kai oppa was there. You both saw everything. You even attempted to do it to me during our first rehearsals. I'm not easy to get, Eunhyuk. *sobs*

She was crying like a baby that time, and I felt so weak. The more I try getting her back, the painful it becomes to her.

Miyu: J-just please leave me alone. Let me go. What else do you want? Make out with you? Is that all?

She tried to remove her clothing, but I managed to stop her. It's killing me seeing her in pain.

Eunhyuk: Aniyo. Don't do this. I'm leaving, if that's what you want. I'm sorry. I'll take you home first.
Miyu: No thanks.

I don't even think MiHyuk exists anymore. It's my fault.

Miyu's POV :) (Choi Mika)

I sat at the bench, sobbing. Eunhyuk is a pabo. I hate him so much. Ryeowook oppa is also mad at me. Now I have nothing to face Kai oppa.

Someone offered me a hanky. To my surprise, it was Xiumin oppa.

Xiumin: What's a little girl doing here, crying?
Miyu: *sobs* Eunhyuk is a pabo.
Xiumin: Was it because of what he and Kai did?
Miyu: *sobs more* Y-you saw it too?
Xiumin: Aniyo! They were apologetic that time. It was an accident.
Miyu: I don't know what to do anymore. I felt so harassed.
Xiumin: *pats her head* You like Kai, don't you?
Miyu: What are you saying?
Xiumin: Nah, just kidding. You guys look together although I'm your fanboy.
Miyu: Aren't you tired of me?
Xiumin: A fan should not get tired of loving his or her idol.
Miyu: I don't even think I'm worthy of your attention.
Xiumin: You're degrading yourself too much. Whether you're worthy or not, I'm here as a sunbaenim or a friend.

Xiumin oppa is really nice. At least he's not the type who would pressure me.

Miyu: I'm sorry.
Xiumin: What? But why?
Miyu: I feel like I'm playing games with all of you. That's what other people would say.
Xiumin: They're just jealous.
Miyu: Sometimes, I feel like I don't want to be a star anymore.
Xiumin: If you didn't, we wouldn't have seen each other.
Miyu: Yeah. Back then, people would look at me badly. But now? It's worse.
Xiumin: Don't mind them. What's important is you don't step on other people.
Miyu: Kamsahamnida, Xiumin oppa. I feel better now.
Xiumin: I'm glad you are, Mika. I hate seeing you lonely. Would you like to go to the park with me?
Miyu: Sure, that would be great! *smiles* By the way oppa, you're going to Sora's birthday party, aren't you?
Xiumin: Yeah. Come to think of it, we still don't have any gifts for her.
Miyu: Should we go to the shop instead?
Xiumin: Nae!

Xiumin oppa and I went to the department store to buy gifts for Sora. Her birthday is tomorrow. How time passes by quickly. Aigoo. I have to think of something she likes and she can use all the time.

Xiumin: What does Sora like, by the way?
Miyu: I think she's into feminine stuff. Bags, shoes and anything girly.
Xiumin: I see. What do you want to buy her?
Miyu: I don't have an idea though. There are a lot of things to choose from.

To my surprise, another person came. Someone we least expected.

Donghae's POV :)

Eunhyuk returned to the dorm, looking down in the dumps. He sat beside me and placed his head on my shoulders.

Donghae: Ya, what's wrong?
Eunhyuk: I'm such a fool.
Donghae: Tell me about it.

He told the story of how he saw Mika with only a towel on. I laughed at him.

Donghae: Pabo. You are an idiot, Hyukjae. Of course she would react that way. Even Kai saw it. She is not an exhibitionist anyway.
Eunhyuk: What am I going to do right now?
Donghae: Why don't you just start creating a song like what I'm doing right now?
Eunhyuk: Huh?
Donghae: Listen. On Sora's birthday tomorrow, I'd give her a sneak peek of this song I'm currently composing right now.
Eunhyuk: What's the title?
Donghae: STILL YOU. Now go and help me compose. We will do this for our single and upcoming new Japanese album. Are you ready?
Eunhyuk: Yes! Let's do this!

L's POV :) (Kim Myungsoo)

Mika and Xiumin were inside a boutique. I was planning to buy something for my girl, Sora.

L: Annyeong, Xiumin hyung and Mika.
Miyu: Annyeong, L oppa.
Xiumin: Hello, L.
L: What are you guys doing here? Are you on a date?
Xiumin: Aniyo. But I sure hope so. Kidding. We're buying gifts for Sora. How about you?
L: I have a plan tomorrow. Would you guys help me out in picking the right gift? It would be easier now that Mika is here, who is close to Sora.
Miyu: I'll do my best. What's your plan anyway?
L: Secret. You'll find out tomorrow.
Xiumin: I know just the thing for Sora. I think I know what you should buy her?

Eunhyuk's POV :)

Donghae: Yes! We're almost done!
Eunhyuk: Damn. Only a few seconds left and it will be burned in a CD.
Donghae: Make sure it is placed inside a pretty bag.
Eunhyuk: Of course I will.
Donghae: Will you give Mika something too?
Eunhyuk: Molla. *frowns*
Donghae: Let's give it to Sora first.

Will EunHae's plan be a success?
What will happen to Sora's birthday party?
What is L's plan?

Tune in to the next chapter.
