Jongsica & SHINee generation :Best Place

It was late.About 10pm or so,the girls were in the living room and some were still baking in the kitchen.Sooyoung just had another round of dinner before the doorbell rang.

Sunny opened it. It was Key. She opened but Key signalled her to keep quiet.

He whispered to her, "tell her it's the delivery man"

" Who is it?" Sooyoung shouted from the couch.

" Oh it's the delivery man.." Sunny suppressed a cheeky laugh as Key handed her a plain white letter and communicated with a great length of difficulty to tell her to give it to sooyoung. He was just being a monkey trying to use his body language to conveyed the message that he wanted her to make sure Sooyoung reads it. Sunny made an " OK" hand gesture and returned to the living room.

" Aren't they a little too hardworking? Isn't it like 10 already or something? " the voice complained like her usual self.

Sunny shoved the letter into Sooyoung's hands and sunked down beside her.

" What's this?"

Sunny shrugged her shoulders. Yoona and Taeyeon jumped up, resting their chin on Sooyoung's shoulders and lap as she opened it. The letter was simple and plain. Inside was a white piece of paper that was had a sentence printed in the center, 

" Braid your hair and come down, make sure your hair is nice! " 

Sooyoung scratched her head. Who is this insane lunatic person?

" What the hell.." Yoona laughed. Sunny nudged Sooyoung to go down. 

" Go on hurry !! " Still in a daze and confusion, Sooyoung simply compiled and hopped down the stairs. She touched her hair again.  She didnt understand why she had to braid her hair but whatever.. she made it the prettiest she could.She didnt really understand why she even did it but she did anyway.

Reaching the gate of her dorm, a familiar looking bicycle stood infront of her. A piece of folded white paper like the one in the letter rested in the basket infront. She looked left and right. The street was empty. I twas all dark except the lights that were coming out from the street lamps.

Okaaayy.. weird.

She walked up and took the letter up, opening it.

She covered and tried not to burst out laughing. It was a hand picture with messy lines and ugly labels of what seemed to be a map. With the street names and corners all drawn out, it was pointing for her to reach this place that was marked with a huge yellow star. She wasn't too confident of her riding skills since the last time she learnt it it was quite disastrous, not to mention Key was scolding her like crazy.

But well, she had to learn someday right? Besides no one is here now.. she figured even if she fall down it wouldn't be embarassing since no one was watching her. She climbed on the bicycle and stabalized herself.

When she felt ready, she began paddling off slowly. Just then, she felt a heavy weight sitting behind her. A pair of strong arms followed and wrapped around her waist. 

Shocked, sooyoung swayed left and right violently as she screamed loudly. 

" YAH! CYCLE STRAIGHT WILL YOU? STAY CALM!!! " Key demanded and sooyoung slowly got a hold of herself.

" WHY ARE YOU HERE?!" 

" OF COURSE IM HERE WHO ELSE WOULD BE ASKING YOU OUT THIS LATE? UNLESS YOU'RE CHEATING ON ME!"  he nostrils were flaring for some reason.

" OF COURSE NOT YOU STUPID DONKEY!! "

" THEN WHY ARE YOU SO SHOCKED THAT I'M HERE?! "  

"OKAY OKAY stop shouting at me! I need to concentrate on cycling!"

" It's not even driving, it's just cycling dont be an idiot you don't need to focus that hard! " 

" Are you saying I'm stupid now?" she snapped back angrily.

Meanwhile back at the girls' dorm, Minho had already arrived. Yuri welcomed him in with a warm hug. Seeing that he was tired, she showered over him with a concerned look. 

" Are you okay? You look tired, " she put a hand over his forehead to check for his body temperature. This boy better not be falling sick. 

" Yeah.. just a little tired from all the preparation for the showcase.." he smiled and took her hand down. Interlocking his fingers with hers, he smiled and led her back to her room. 

" You're really stressing yourself out you know? It's gonna be fine, we have practiced enough and you're gonna do really well~ " she assured him.

" I hope so too.. " he closed the door behind him. She smiled, knowing what that meant.

" You didn't come here to practice the dance with me did you? "

" Of course not babe, " he wrapped his arms around her waist.

" Shall we watch a movie? " she teased.

" Oh come on, you know that's not what I'm here for," he said before kissing her the top of her head then slowly moved to her inviting lips that his eyes have been set on the moment he stepped into the room.

Next door,Tiffany was working on a scrapbook in her own room. She looked down at her neck and touched the necklace that Onew gave her again. She smiled. It was quite a stupid scene if anyone were to see it, staring at the necklace every few minutes and then smile like an idioit over and over again but that was exactly how she was feeling. 

" You're locked to me now", she still could hear Onew's voice ringing in her head from that night. Those words never seem to fade away.

Althought she wasn't exactly fantastic at craftwork and drawing was definitely not her forte, she decided to give it a try. Since onew has been such a sweet boyfriend all these while, she couldn't help but think that she's not doing enough to deserve him. She asked Taeyeon earlier on in the evening about what she should buy him but taeyeon has pointed out that she shouldn't buy, but instead do something for him. And so with that, she decided on making a scrapbook. But since they just got together, they haven't had the chance to even take a picture together yet. 

" Ahh.. this is so annoying.. i don't know what to write anymore! " Tiffany mumbled to herself in frustration as she looked at the lame work of hers. She wrote about her first impression of him and how the things she loved about him. But that was about all that she could think of and would think of. She sighed loudly and started kicking her legs under the table. 

Then she looked at the necklace again and smiled. 

She knew she's being a total retard. But who cares.. she was in love. And that entitles you to smile like an idioit, anytime of the day.

Looking down again, she began regaining her thoughts an concentration and continued doing it. She hoped he'll love it.

Back at the other side, it's been almost 20 minutes since Sooyoung's been cycling now.

And after they were finally done bickering ( because for once, Key just shut up and let her snap at him the rest of the way since he promised himself that he was gonna make her happy tonight), Sooyoung soon arrived at the destination as his "map" indicated.

It was a ice skating ring.

A smile spreaded across her face. She had thought that he had completely forgotten about it since he never mentioned anything about it ever since that night and he brushed it off everytime she spoke of it.

" Omg.. Is it still open?" She hopped of the bicycle, completely forgetting that key was behind as he fell down to the ground. Quickly, he got up and straighten his hair and clothes, relieved that Sooyoung didn't turn back to see that god damn embarassing moment.

" Yeah the lights are stil on.." he saw how happy she was already and he felt so accomplished.

" But how is it possible? It's awesome !!! There's no one here except us! " She was jumping up and down, pulling key to go in already.

" Well lucky for you your boyfriend happens to have an uncle that runs this place.. " he said in a pretend casual i-don't-really-care voice and followed her. He knew she didn't even hear that sentence because she already ran off infront.

Stupid girl.

They quickly put on their skates as key helped her to put on a beanie and gloves that he had brought for her. He knew she wouldnt be prepared, bu that's okay because she had him to take care of her anyway.

Sooyoung leapt up to her feet and pulled key's hands towards the ring. She noticed that he was pulling his weight backwards. Turning around, she burst out into laughter at the sight of the scared Key that had a purple shade on his face. Or was it green? Whatver it is, it was sure a sight to behold. Here he was, the diva and popular almighty Kim ki bum of sm, scared of .. ice skating?!

" What? Are you scared? Coward.." She scoffed.

" I'm not scared! I just.. don't know how to ice skate.. ", his voice was a little soft. Then he cleared his throat and said in a loud voice, " there's a BIG difference between no knowing and being scared okay?" he managed off cooly, hiding that nervousness in his voice. The real reason why he always pretend to hate ice skating wasn't because he found it boring.. he just didn't know how to.Sooyoung rolled her eyes. She knew he was bullting because he was just plain scared. Wasn't the almighty Key the one that knew how to cycle and do everything? And to think... he actually didn't know and was afraid of ice skating?

" SERIOUSLY!? OMG ! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ! " she sneered. " Then why did you bring me here?"

" BECAUSE YOU WANTED TO ICE SKATE RIGHT? STOP LAUGHING AT ME! " 

" HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHA "

" ENOUGH CHOI SOOYOUNG"

" HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAH!!!" sooyoung began skating off in circles, leaving key holding tight to the wall of the ice skating ring.

" Then how are you gonna ice skate with me if you don't know how to!? " she passed him,threw her head back and smiled.

" Teach me.. " he said softly. " I said stop skating around and teach me! " he said again this time in a demanding tone. Why won't she stop twirling and come save him already?!

" Okay coward~" she grabbed his two trembling hands and dragged him forward as she skate.

Slowing, he began moving with her help, falling countlessly and rolling on the ice laughing with Sooyoung. They were having so much fun just laughing at each other and doing silly things together. And the best part was the fact that the ice skating ring was empty. A soft christmas carol played on the background and the whole place was decorated with christmas lights and decorations. It was beautiful and.. romantic. Even if he didn't know how to ice skate it was okay, she love ever single minute of this date.

" Look! " key shouted for her to look at him doing the crab leg dance. Sooyoung's knees wobbled as she laughed out loud. 

" That's nothing! Watch me ! " Sooyoung calmed herself down and began doing a random weird dance. He laughed at her even louder, he couldn't help but feel so lucky to have such a funny girlfriend. 

After an hour of joking and playing, Key could finally skate now. WIth the new found confidence, he began chasing her and occasionally grabbing her into a tight hug from the back as he catch up with her. Sooyoung never felt so warm during winter before.  Finally when it was almost 12, they decided to pack up and leave. 

Taking out her skates, Sooyoung looked over at key.

" Hey.. thank you for today. I really enjoyed it. You're really sweet you know? " her voice was just as sweet as the words she spoked. Key broke into a smile. Every preparation was worth it. Begging his uncle to let him come in and running here to prepare the music and the decorations then bringing the bicycle to her house after that, and the map he spent the whole night drawing.. it was really hard work. All those sweat and time put in for tonight.

" It's nothing.. I told you I'm the best boyfriend didn't I? " he took the gloves off her hands. She giggled before nodding. That, she had to agree. 

He looked up and saw that her nose was red. He touched the tip of it and laughed. They got up and began making their way out onto the street.

" Is this the perfect time for a first kiss? " He asked, semi seriously but keeping it playful at the same time. Sooyoung realized she was incredibly shy now. She didn't dare to look up.

Instead, she began walking away fast. Key laughed and followed quickly,grabbing her hands into his warm palms. They walked silently down the street hand in hand.Then something dropped on her head as key's hands reached up to shield her head. 

" Look it's snowing!! " he exclaimed. Even though he had seen it for a century over it was still exciting everytime he sees it fall for the first time. Especially now, that he had caught the first snow of the year with the girl he loved the most.

Sooyoung turned around to face him. Her cheeks and nose were red, her little black eyes stared at key. She looked so pretty. Like one of those models in a magazine spread. Except she was so much more beautiful than them.

" Why did you ask me to braid my hair? "

" Because you look the prettiest with your hair like that, " he answered simply and brushed her cheeks with the back of his hands. Sooyoung's lips curled up into a smile before she finally moved closer to him. Feeling his warm breath, Sooyoung closed her eyes and planted her lips on Key's.

Finally, it was the perfect first kiss like how they both pictured it to be. Perfect.
