Informalities

 Eunbyul was in somewhat of a blunder...

Next morning she was at the UKISS dorm bright and early as usual. They were headed to the music video setting for Neverland, and Eunbyul followed with some excitement. She's never seen them perform for a music video, only on stage a couple of times but she was kept busy the majority of the times they had performed on stage.
 

The van stopped to a building where the team was running around and grabbing any costume accessories they had. Eunbyul exited out with Kevin and the women began to whisper.

Eunbyul's sharp hearing was able to hear their gossip loud and clear.
 

" So it IS true.. They're together..."
 

" Ugh.... But she's so... Wierd... The other day when I asked if she wanted to eat out with the other staff members all she did was stare at me... It's like she could read me like a book with those eyes..."
 

" Yeah... They give me shivers... Like she's gonna cut me or something."
Cut her? I'm not barbaric....
 

Eunbyul grimaced slightly as their whispers grew stronger.
" I bet it'll only last a week. He'll get tired of her."

Eunbyul finally looked at their direction with a hollow glare, and they froze up, locked in the icy gaze. They skittered like mice when she looked away.
Kevin squeezed her hand in comfort and Eunbyul merely walked on, ignoring the stares. Kevin frowned, she's been ignoring him after her little attempt. He bit his lip trying not to laugh at the memory.
 

Eunbyul's insides were in turmoil as she attempted to say the informal word. Everytime she looked at Kevin she tried and nothing came out, so she blatantly ignored him, it was frustrating and slightly infuriating. She could take down an entire gang and yet she can't be informal with her "boyfriend" life has cruel tricks....
 

Kevin felt Eunbyul give him the cold shoulder and he couldn't help but feel miffed. The stylists dragged him off to begin hastily powdering him in make up and styling his hair properly. AJ had a look of amusement as he stared at Kevin's pouting figure.
 

Eunbyul had told him what had occurred and to no ones surprise he fell down laughing. Snickering and shaking his head, he was also curious about her strange behavior. She called everyone oppa now.. Why couldn't she call Kevin?

Eunbyul waited patiently as she helped the manager set up some things and talk with the producer. The scene was going to be in multiple places; a water floor, ice room, and a room full of sand. Kevin came in with the other members, all wearing a similar design of a silver baggy tang top and black skinny jeans. Eunbyul had to admit Kevin looked different than his usual cute self. He had a much more alluring look with the long eye shadows that emphasized his lashes and eyes. It was a striking appearance.
 

Their eyes met and Kevin smiled attentively at her as Dongho and AJ went up to her.
" Noona! How do I look?" Dongho did a serious pose and Eunbyul smiled.
 

" You look really cool. Aigoo... Is this really my little dongsaeng?"
 

He smiled radiantly at her as Kiseop came in with his hair dyed and styled eloquently.
" They have a UKISS ice cube in there. It looks legit!"
 

Indeed they did, although Eunbyul found it to be a tangent of the music video.
What does a melting UKISS ice figurine have to do with going to Neverland?

Nevertheless the song was good and she enjoyed listening to the producer's final cut of the song.
The staff seemed awfully tired as they shuffled around. Eunbyul discovered that they have been preparing the set from last night and felt some pity. She called up the cafe, asking the grandma to have Kangsoo deliver some lattes on the go.
" AJ oppa? Hoon oppa! "

Kevin's ears twitched as she heard her. He felt a twinge of bitterness as he heard her informal words.
Relax... Calm down....
Hoon and AJ looked at her.
" Yeah?"
" Want some coffee?"
They nodded.
 

" Would the others want some as well?"
AJ smiled.
" I don't know about Kevin. Why don't you ask him?"
 

Eunbyul froze a bit and turned to Kevin who was trying to hide his expectation.
" Would you like some coffee Kevin..o....shi?"
 

Eunbyul cursed herself inwardly as she sounded like a fool.
Kevin fought the urge to laugh at her failed attempt and nodded as well.
 

Hoon gave Eunbyul a funny look.
" O-shi? What wrong Eunbyul ah? Can't call Kevin oppa?"
 

Dead silence as Hoon unintentionally hit the bullseye. AJ slapped his head and sighed.
" I can!" Eunbyul denied her incapability with a stubborn attitude and Soohyun came to her rescue.
 

" Then again... It's okay. He's really more of an unnie."
They all laughed as Kevin pouted slightly.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Eunbyul tried a new method, desperate to fix her strange issue. Every single time she spoke to Kevin she tried to say it. If she failed or stuttered then she would bang her forehead on a door or any other object. It was a bit odd at first as she got a lot of stares from people, but they soon began to understand her little quest and stopped trying to give her some ice. Dongho became slightly worried after her 20th time trying.
BANG
" uuuurrrgffhhh..."

Kevin also began to worry a bit as her forehead grew red.
 

Kangsoo came albeit a bit reluctantly as he carried large quantities of coffee for the staff. Eunbyul quickly went up to him as he staggered at the weight.
" Eunbyul wait it's a bit-"
 

She took them and lifted them with frightening ease. Kangsoo felt a stab at his manly pride.
"... Nevermind... Why is your forehead red? Are you sick?"
 

they were still awkward but now Kangsoo made more of an attempt to right his ways and get to know the real Eunbyul he was blind to.
" No... I'm trying to do something."
 

" Bruising yourself and giving yourself a concussion?"
He asked in disbelief.
 

" That's morbid Choi Kangsoo. Nope."
She handed him a hefty amount of cash and he departed with a snort of amusement.
 

She was as blunt as ever...

The staff was beyond surprised as Eunbyul came in with a large amount of coffee at hand. She placed it on the serving table with a thunk.
" You guys seemed tired..." she spoke somewhat shyly as she left with two sets of four. They all looked at her departed direction with a sense of newfound joy.

Eunbyul handed the members a cup and they gratefully took a sip of it.
" Aren't you drinking some?"
Eunbyul shook her head.
 

" Don't really need it." they nodded and left for the film. She was alone for a bit until somebody came in as she placed the coffee on the couch table.
Kevin came in looking a bit worn. He had his photoshoot finally done and they were about to go into the set and film.
Eunbyul had a determined look as she handed him the coffee which he gratefully accepted.
" Here you go Kevin...o...."
 

Oh for the love of--------!
 

she sighed and turned around but Kevin just about had it and placed his coffee on a high table and grabbed Eunbyul by the arm. Eunbyul fought of the reflexive urge to knock his teeth out. Kevin yanked her a bit harshly back to him and gently pushed her against the wall. He looked at her with a burning intensity as he tried not to falter from her strangely piercing gaze. He put a hand on either side of her head as he looked down at her lips.
 

" Eunbyul... What's my name?"
 

Eunbyul was ensnared in the eyes.
" .... Kevin... Woo...?"
 

" What is the word for big brother?"
 

Eunbyul didn't know where this was going.
" Oppa..."
 

" What do the girls generation sing in their song Oh?"
 

Now she understood where this was going.
" Oppa..."
 

Kevin's burning gaze toned down a bit as he inched closer.
" Now what do you call me?"
 

Eunbyul tilted her head.
" Oppa?"
 

Kyaaaaa!!! Sooooo cuuuuute!!!
 

Kevin's bubbly side bounced up and down as the outer Kevin smiled at Eunbyul. He fought the sudden urge to kiss her as he inched closer.
She's going to bury me six feet under thinking I assaulted her.

He controlled the urge with a slow kiss to the forehead and Eunbyul felt her face heat up.
" See... Nothing to it." he unpinned her and assessed her expression. She was a statue... Or an ice pick... She wasn't moving, and Kevin became somewhat frightened.
" Eunbyul? Eunbyul ah? Eunbyul shi?!"
 

Eunbyul's eye twitched as she came back to her muddled senses. Kevin kept on shaking her a bit.
" Eunbyul shi?! Are you oka-"
 

She grabbed his shoulders and now pinned him against the wall.
" Eunbyul... Not Eunbyul shi. Informal remember Kevin Oppa?"
 

She said a bit playfully and she walked off, ecstatic of getting over her oppaphobia.

 

Kevin entered the set close behind Eunbyul who had a bounce in her steps at her accomplishment. Now Eunbyul was excited to see her boys in action. Kevin suddenly had the urge to go to Eunbyul at the last moment. He ignored the stares from people as he walked closer to Eunbyul's back profile and snaked his arms gently around her.

Eunbyul went rigid at the contact but soon relaxed as she saw Kevin with a hopeful look.
" Could you say it one more time for good luck?"
 

She smiled softly.
" Fighting Kevin Oppa!"
 

UKISS couldn't help but hoot at the sight as the staff held in an aw. Kevin quickly let her go and went to the setting with a joy in his walk. Eli nudged his shoulders with a sly look as they began to get ready.
