Endless Limits

Ji-Eun's POV

I love cooking.

But for some reason, no one ever wants to try my cooking.

Today, though, I'll give it to people as a present.

I hope they like it!

Flour, salt, sugar, Milk...

Oops. I just poured all the milk in.

Whatever. I'll just pour more flour.

And sugar.

And salt.

Then mix it with the blender.

Is it supposed to make that sound?

Uh-oh.

The blender just exploded.


After the batter is done, roll it flat.

Then make pretty shapes.

They look kind of ike retarded monkeys.

I was going for the member's faces.

Same difference.

Put them in the oven and take a little nap.

I mean, I deserve a nap.

Right?

I've been training for the last few hours. And tomorrow is the performance.

Just until the cookies come out.

Snore.


Crud.

I kind of burned the cookies.

30 minutes and 3 hours.

Anyone can make that mistake.

The sprinklers .

There's smoke everywhere.

I'll just ice them and no one will notice, right?

........

Who am I kidding.

"Hyun, can you come and help me cook?"

"Yeah, I'm already at your front door. I figured you'd need help."

"Thanks a lot. You don't trust me."

"You're welcome. And it isn't a matter of trust. It's just that if someone eats your cooking and dies, I would have to come visit you in jail."


With Seohyun's help, the cookies...

Well, they look like cookies.

"Eun, how many cookies do we need?" Seohyun asks.

Let's see...

13 Super Junior members, 12 Exo members, 7 Infinite members, 9 SNSD members, 5 Shinee members, one for shortie, one for Myungsoo sshi, two extra just in case...

Wait, why shortie?

Why Myungsoo sshi?

Myungsoo is in Infinite.

Shortie is... shortie.

Whatever.

That equals....

That equals...

That equals....

"Hyun, what's 12 plus 13 plus 7 plus 9 plus 5 plus 1 plus 1 plus 1 plus 1?"

"Uhm... 50."

"We need 50 cookies!"

"Excuse me what."


We managed to finish 50 cookies in 4 hours.

That's like a world record.

We now need to ice them.

Why is my life so ish?


Icing is all fun and giggles.

Until you get it all over Seohyun because you don't know how to use the icing thingy and she gets so surprised she knocks over the flour which knocks over the milk which makes a mess on the floor.

And then you get a mop and try to clean it up but then it just makes the substance stickier and grosser.

Then you have a icing fight with Seohyun and get it all over the kitchen.

Then you realize it's getting late.

And your brothers are coming home in 23 minutes and counting.

And your life is being a baboon's .


Cleaning up takes only a few minutes.

Seohyun is magic. She gets the floor cleaned in 12 minutes.

We ice the cookies hurriedly and hide it in my room.

My brothers are so tired they go to their rooms as soon as they get home.

Which is so lucky for me.

Because they didn't look up.

And they didn't notice that there was icing and cake batter all over the celing.

And they didn't notice me on a ladder, trying to clean it up.

I'm not really sure wether I should be sad they didn't notice, happy I didn't get in trouble, or slightly worried that they walked right under me and didn't even know.

My brothers are so clueless sometimes.

Thank the lord.


I fall asleep at 1 o'clock in the morning because I wrap the cookies.

And I try not to eat them.

They look so yummy.

No.

Bad Ji-Eun.

You're on a diet.

No cookies for you.

...

...

...

Why must god test me?

... Munch Munch

....

 

 

The extra cookies?

Yeah.

They're gone now.

...

Oops.


I drag myself to our waiting room for the music program.

I have so many bags in my arms.

It's not even funny.

I knock on the door with my foot and lean on it to catch my breath.

The door falls open and down I go.

"N-O-O-O-O!"

My cookies!

It's then that I notice that Shortie is staring at me.

"Why're you here?" I blurt out.

"Thanks a lot. I'm gald to see you too." He says sarcastically.

I blush.

"No, I mean... I thought this was our waiting room... Never mind. Do you want a cookie?" I say, giving him his cookie.

"For me?" I nod.

"Thanks." He looks touched.

"I still don't know your name." I reminded him.

"You weren't joking?" I shake my head.

"L.Joe. Well... Yeah. Call me L.Joe."

"Is that your real name?"

"No."

I don't ask more questions.

I know what it's like to want to hide yourself.

So we just sit in silence until I have to go.

L.Joe.

That's a nice name.

Stupid heart.

Stop beating fast already.


"Oh, god. I'm so sorry I'm late." I pant as I run into our waiting room.

My mouth falls open.

It's a swirl of makeup brushes, clothes, and...

Boys.

Exo, Shinee, Super Junior, Infinite, and a band I've never seen beforeare sharing a humongous waiting room.

Imagine the biggest room you've ever seen. Times that by 2.

That's our waiting room.

"You're here. Go do your makeup." Kyuhyun oppa says.

"I-"

"No, go put on your clothes." Key oppa says.

"But I-"

"No,-" Dongwoo sshi is cut off by me.

"STOP!" I scream.

Everyone looks at me.

I gulp.

"I... have cookies for everyone?"

The guys all dive at me.

"AGH!" I yell as someone tackles me.

"Get off. Off. OFF!" I yell. 

I swear, my voice is going to die before I even perform.

"Line up."

They do.

"Okay, Shindong oppa, Woohyun sshi, Taemin, Sungjong, Onew oppa, Who are you?"

I look questioningly at a guy that I've never seen before in my life.

"I'm Taecyeon."

"I'm sorry, I didn't know we were sharing a waiting room with..."

I trail off uncertainly.

The guy named Taecyeon looks at me like he doesn't get me.

"2PM. You know, heartbeat? 10 out of 10?"

I shake my head.

"Sorry. You guys can share my cookie if it makes you feel better." I feel bad.

"It's okay." A guy says behind me. I spin around.

This guy.

Hot.

No, what are you thinking?

Oh my god. I need water.

He looks exactly like Rain.

I say something really intelligent, like "Hhmpgewfa?"

He stares.

"I'm Junho."

I come to my senses.

"I'm Ji-Eun."

"Pretty name."

"Thanks."

"Ahem." Myungsoo sshi clears his throat.

"May I have my cookie?"

I blush. "Sure."

Stupid heart.

It's beating.

Again.

The rest of the guys get their cookies too.

"Try it!" I smile brightly.

Everyone but Ryeowook oppa and Kai bite into their cookie.

Everyone but Ryeowook oppa and Kai chews.

"Is it okay?" I ask worriedly.

"Yeah, it's good. Did you make it by yourself?" Jonghyun oppa asks.

"No, Seohyun helped me." I grin.

"Go change." Tao ushers me out of the room.

As soon as the door closes, everyone spits their cookies out.

"Where's the trash can?" Kris whispers.

"How is it possible that Seohyun and Ji-Eun are both bad cooks?" Suho asks.

Everyone shrugs while spitting out the last remainder of the cookies.


"Okay, let's rehearse!" The groups split. Shinee take the far corner, then Exo, then Super Junior, then Shinee, then Infinite, then 2PM.

"One two three four, one two three four."

While we do the song, I can't stop looking at Junho and Myungsoo.

Stupid eyes.

They're hot.

Stupid brain.

Bad Ji-Eun.

I slap myself.

Sungjong looks at me like I'm crazy, but he doesn't say anything.

Don't worry, Sungjong.

I think I'm crazy, too.

We finsih the song, but Sunggyu sshi doesn't look happy.

"Guys, point our fingers and bend your legs." He chides.

"Again."

When we're about to start, the door bangs open.

"MYUNGSOO!" A girl squeals and jumps at him.

Myungsoo sshi goes wide eyed and frozen.

All the Infinite members groan.

"Fei." They grumble.

What the heck?
