The others looked up surprised. Tae Min smacked Ki Bum on his head.

“What?” asked Ki Bum.

“I didn’t interrupt!”

“It’s not Duckie’s fault,” said Byung Hun.

“Look.” Byung Hun pointed to where Min Ho ran off too.

“Aigo,” said Tae Min.

“It’s that same waitress babe.”

“See?” said Ki Bum.

“It’s because of a girl, not me. You hit me by mistake.”

“No, it’s not a mistake. I still wanna smack your head because it makes this cool hollow sound,” replied Tae Min as he smacked Ki Bum on his head again.

“So, wanna go out sometime?” Min Ho asked Krystal, leaning near her. She rolled her eyes at him. She answered flatly, “No” and began to leave. Min Ho held onto her arm. “Come on babe. Xmas is next month and don’t be a scrooge.” Then suddenly, Krystal gave him a seductive smile. “I guess. How about we go out on November 31st then?” Min Ho smiled back ily.

“It’s a date then,” he answered, letting her go. The other 4 walked up to him.

“How did it go Jerry?” asked Hyun Woo.

“Hey, hey, what can I say?” answered Min Ho cockily.

“I’m the man!” Tae Min gave him a high-five.

“Alright!” yelled Ki Bum.

“When are you two going out?”

“November 31st,” answered Min Ho.

“Uh, Jerry,” said Byung Hun.

“What's up Byung Hun?” said Mim Ho.

“November doesn’t have a 31st.”

“What?” asked Min Ho, surprised. He looked at the calendar. November ends on the 30th. He looked around but Krystal had already left. He started cursing while the others try to hold back their laughter.

November 23, 1998

“This meeting of Sechskies is now in session,” announced Seung Ho to the main members of the group along with the new recruits. His voice got their attention and they quickly focused their attention on Seung Ho. Seung Ho scanned to see if Ji Sung was there. He was. Seung Ho gave a little smile to him. He didn’t know why but when he looks at Ji Sung his mind would replace Ji Sung’s face with Ji Yeon’s.

“So any new business?” he asked the members.

“Yes,” answered Tae Min.

“The Black Dragons killed some of our members and took away some of our businesses.”

“Damn it!” yelled Seung Ho as he pounded his fist on the table.

“We’ll just have to see that this Black Dragon matter be resolved. Jerry, Byung Hun, Hyun Woo and the two new recruits deal with the businesses. Tae Min, Ki Bum and Ji Sung will come with me.” Everyone looked at Seung Ho strangely. Min Ho queried. “Uh, hyung. You want to take Ji Sung along?” Seung Ho glared at him. “Yeah. Anyone here have any objections?” No one answered.

“Meeting adjourned,” announced Seung Ho and everyone went to work.
