“I feel like I’m going to fall over,” Jeri whined, her grip on her brother’s jacket so tight that her knuckles were losing their colour.

“Hey you, you’re supposed to be our brick,” Jun laughed, reaching over to pat her now pale white hand. “You just have to remember to breath and you’ll be fine, check?”

Jeri nodded but didn’t lessen her grip on her brother’s jacket, Jun allowing her to do so.

“Come on you two, you have to have your make-up touched up!”

The siblings met eyes and rolled them before turning and walking over to the small and stout manly impatiently tapping his foot on the floor.

December, January and February both flown by and dragged for Tambourine. They had finished filming their MV for Back Row Breakout, they now had their ‘super special shakey stuff’ as Jeri liked to call their tambourines, and they were only minutes away from making their debut stage on M! Countdown in front of thousands of people. They were all understandably nervous, Setiawan simply sitting in his make-up chair with a blank look on his face while Harii had taken up pacing back and forth.

“Harii-ssi you must stop!” the stout man huffed, grabbing Harii and placing him in the make-up chair. “Pace all you want after the performance.”

“He’s such a ,” Jeri scoffed, switching to English so she couldn’t be caught. “Can you fire someone after one month?”

Jun sighed and gave his sister an understanding look. “I know he’s not the best manager, but I heard that he’s just as new to his position as we are, so he’s probably just as nervous,” he spoke, doing his best to keep still so that the coordi could finish his makeup.

“That doesn’t give him an excuse to be an ,” Jeri huffed, quickly apologizing to her own coordi when she moved. “If he ever touches me like that-”

“If he ever touches you like that, you tell me, check?” Jun growled, giving his sister a stern look.

“What, you’ll beat him up?” Jeri laughed. “Awww, you do care~”

“Harassing you is my job, nobody takes my job,” Jun scoffed, his stern look turning into a teasing grin.

Jeri simply rolled her eyes and allowed the coordi to finish the makeup around her eyes before the four of them were called to the stairs backstage to get ready to enter.

“Alright, everyone armed?” Setiawan asked with a small laugh, holding up his green and white tambourine.

Harii raised his yellow and purple headless tambourine, Jun holding up his red and black half moon tambourine and Jeri lifting her blue and black star tambourine with dark blue ribbons tied at each point.

“OK… so… I’m apparently still horrible at this,” Setiawan chuckled.

“Let’s go out there and do our best!” Harii cheered, rattling his tambourine in the air above his head.

“If you mess up make it look like you did it on purpose!” Jun added with a laugh, rattling his own instrument.

“I still say I’m going to get into trouble for dancing with this,” Jeri grumbled, looking at her own tambourine. “It looks like the Star of David. Wasn’t it used by the Nazi’s to basically brand Jews?”

“It wasn’t created by the Nazi’s Jeri,” Jun groaned.

“But-”

Harii reached over and covered with his hand, silencing her. “You’re not going to get in trouble Jeri, stop worrying about it so much and try to focus on the stage.”

Jeri sighed through his fingers but nodded, Harii releasing and standing behind Setiawan to be ready to enter the stage.

The lights on the stage dimmed as the spotlight shone down on the host as the stage hands quickly motioned for the four to climb the stairs and get into their spots on the stage. Setiawan took his position at the back of their diamond formation, Jun to his front-left and Harii to his front-right while Jeri stood in the front.
 

“Ladies and Gentlemen! It is my pleasure to present, the newest of SM Entertainment’s artists; TAMBOURINE!”

The host quickly shuffled off of the stage as the auditorium erupted into cheers and screams while the music began to play through the speakers.

The four danced in their formation and never broke, even during the interlude, keeping to what they had been drilling into their minds and bodies for the past several months. They made a few mistakes, but kept to their promises of doing their best while on stage.

When the final note played for their song, they all froze in their ending position as the cheering and screams became louder, none of them able to help the massive grin that stretched onto their faces at the sound.

-=-=-=-
 

"Freedoooooommmm~!" Jun cried, dashing into the apartment.
 

Jeri, Harii and Setiawan simply shook their heads at the boy, choosing to keep their elation to themselves.
 

After only one month had passed since the quartet’s debut, now making it April of 2007. Back Row Breakdown had become a huge hit and their fan base was quickly growing, though Jeri had voiced on more than one occasion(and show) that it was because of Jun and his “foreign charms”. They were all grateful for the attention and love that they had been getting, but the four quickly found themselves looking forward to simply having a day to sleep and try to recuperate; an hour long nap in the car wasn’t cutting it any more.

"I'm claiming the shower~" Harii sang, walking towards said room.
 

There was a chorus of understanding from the three and Jeri sat down on the couch beside her brother. She quickly covered with her hand to cover her laughter as she noticed he had fallen asleep almost instantly. Grinning, she began poking him in the cheek, not hard enough to wake him, but enough to make him knit his eyebrows together in his slumber.
 

Jeri's small moment of enjoyment was interrupted when her phone went off in her pocket.
 

"JESUS ON A PANCAKE!!" He yelped, falling off of the couch.
 

Jeri laughed at the boy's outburst and pulled her phone out of her pocket.
 

"Hello?"
 

"Jeri~" a familiar voice sang on the other end.
 

"Yessums~?" she sang back with a laugh.
 

"We just saw you four on Star Golden Bell; you guys did so well!" he complimented with a laugh.
 

"Yah, is that Jeri?? JEEERRRRIIII~~~!"
 

The girl laughed as Hangeng attempted to quiet the intruder so he could speak.
 

"Don't you guys have schedules or something?" she asked.
 

"The others do, but Leeteuk-hyung, Sungmin, Siwon, Kibum, Kyuhyun and I are at the dorm to rest," he replied.

“You guys are at your dorm and you’re calling me rather than sleeping??” Jeri asked with a laugh.

“Well we were watching TV and happened upon you guys on SGB. I know how nice it is to hear how good you’re doing so I figured I’d start the trend,” Hangeng replied.

“Awww, I feel so loved,” Jeri cooed with a laugh.

“Jeriiiii!! I miss you~~!!”

“Is Sungmin always so needy?” she asked with another laugh.

Jeri could hear Harii groan from down the hall at the lack of honourifics, but didn’t yell at her for it making her snicker.

“Not usually, I think he just likes you,” Hangeng laughed.

“Be still my beating heart~” she cooed, placing her hand over her chest.
 

Jeri’s phone was suddenly snatched out of her hand making her blink in surprise.
 

"JUN!!" she barked, reaching for her phone.
 

The man simply flopped on the couch and stuck his foot out so that it rested on Jeri's collarbone, effectively stopping her from getting any closer.
 

"Who is this and what do you want with my sister?" he growled.
 

There was a couple seconds of silence, Jeri still attempting to get around her brother's foot.
 

"Oh, hello hyung. Huh? Well I guess so… we just got back from schedules and she doesn’t have any tomorrow… Alright fine, but on ONE condition, she is to remain untouched by all accounts or someone loses their hand," Jun set.
 

"Jun give. Me. My. PHONE!"
 

Jun took his foot off of his sister and simultaneously tossed her cell phone at her, the device colliding against her forehead. The teen grumbled and rubbed her head, picking up her phone and putting it against her ear once again.
 

"Sorry about him; older brother syndrome," she apologized, glaring at the boy's back as he walked into the kitchen. “What did you say to him anyways??”
 

"Don’t worry about it, he wasn’t as vicious as I thought he’d be,” Hangeng laughed. “I asked if you’d be allowed to come over for a visit. You haven’t seen our dorms yet right?”

“No I haven’t-oh yeah, you guys got the new ones nearby right?” Jeri remembered with a smile.

“Yeah, and you said that when we move in we should give you the tour,” Hangeng agreed with a laugh of his own.
 

Jeri chuckled and quickly snatched a pen from the coffee table and placed the phone in between her shoulder and ear.
 

"Alright, so where am I going?"
 

-.-.-.-.-
 

“Just call me when you’re ready to come home, alright?” Harii hummed, parking the car and unlocking the door for his passenger.

“I will, thanks for the lift Harii,” Jeri thanked, stepping out of the Ford Fusion.

Harii nodded and waited for her to close the door before driving off. Jeri gave an impressed whistle as she stood in front of the tall apartment. It was a fair bit bigger than the apartment she lived in with the guys, as well as the mass of girls outside it…. wait a minute…
 

Jeri sighed and pulled out her cell phone and quickly dialed. After a couple rings, he answered.
 

"Hello?"
 

"Are any of you Moses per chance?"
 

"……Moses?" Hangeng questioned with a laugh.
 

"Yeah, the Red Sea is outside your building… or I guess the Sapphire sea…" she explained, watching the fans wave their banners around.
 

"Sadly no, none of us are Moses, but I told the security guards what you looked like, so if you can managed to worm your way to the front, they should let you in," he claimed.
 

"Alright, I'll see you in a few minutes then."
 

She hung up and took a deep breath, mentally preparing herself for the mob. She marched forward and managed to find a small enough "path" for her to squeeze her way to the front, apologising when she bumped into one of the girls. The majority of them just gave her confused looks, but a couple glared at her, an action that took all of Jeri's willpower not to return. She managed to get to the front and coyly waved at the security guard.
 

He looked at her nodded and motioned her forward. She stepped up until she was standing beside him, and in the course of about three seconds, he unlocked and opened the doors, pushed her through, closed and locked them again, and fought the other girls off with another guard at the front.
 

Jeri watched with wide eyes as the fans attempted to climb over the guards and many of them glared at her. The teen simply shrugged and pulled up her sleeve to inspect the ink on her arm. She groaned when she saw that the floor number had smeared and walked over to the front desk.
 

"Pardon me ma'am," she began, getting the woman's attention. "I'm here to see Super Junior, which floor do I go to?"
 

The woman gave her a suspicious look making Jeri blink in confusion.
 

"Why do you look familiar…?" she asked.
 

Jeri's confused look grew and she slowly pointed to herself. "Ummm…. Tambourine?"
 

The woman instantly clapped in glee and nodded. "Yes! You're Jun's little sister!"
 

Jeri pouted and slumped her shoulders. Yet again, the rare person who recognised her only did due to her brother.
 

"So what is the Maknae of Tambourine doing here?" the clerk asked, giving the girl a smile.
 

"Super Junior…" she deadpanned.
 

"Oh yes, you already said that, sorry~!" the woman sang. "Super Junior is actually on floor 11 AND 12, but I've heard that 11 is the popular hangout place."
 

Jeri nodded and gave her a small bow in thanks and headed towards the stairs. Peeking over the railing and looking up she sighed when she truly realized how much she'd have to climb. She took a deep breath and began her hike.
 

"Hi ho, hi ho, it's to 11 we go~" she sang, trudging up the steps.
 

After what seemed like forever, she reached the large 11 and walked down the hall.
 

"Scribbles, scribbles… I'm looking for-" Jeri stopped when she noticed an entire wall full of dedications of love and other chocolates.
 

Noticing the small doorbell, she pressed it and waited.
 

"Hello?" a familiar voice answered.
 

"Mickey~~♪" she sang.
 

The door instantly opened and Sungmin’s adorable grin greeted her first thing. Before she could even utter a hello, he quickly tugged her back into the dorm with a laugh.
 

"Jeri's here~~♪" he sang, pushing her further into the dorm.
 

"Ya! Let me take my shoes off you silly mouse!" she scolded with a laugh.
 

Sungmin pouted and she could hear Leeteuk's telltale laugh from further in. The moment her shoes were off of her feet, Sungmin dragged her the rest of the way into the dorm.
 

"Jeri! Welcome to the dorm!" Leeteuk greeted, waving towards her.
 

"Hangeng said that once you guys moved in and things weren’t as hectic that I could come and visit," she laughed, noticing a few of the others lounging around.
 

"I guess that's alright," Kibum laughed, draping himself over the arm of one of the couches.
 

Jeri did a quick scan of the living room seeing the giant poster of the 13 boys along the wall.
 

"Don't even think about it," Hangeng scolded from behind her.
 

Jeri swung around and pouted at him as he held out his hand. Muttering, Jeri gave the man the pen.
 

"Party pooper."
 

Hangeng chuckled and ruffled her hair, making a few parts stick up.
 

"Any interest in a tour?" Kibum asked, jumping up from the couch.
 

"Sure, but you apparently live on two floors," Jeri laughed.
 

Kibum shrugged, spun her around and lead her by the shoulders to the room beside one of the couches, farthest from the door. He opened it and the first thing Jeri saw was a monster of a bookshelf.
 

"This is Eunhyuk-hyung's room," Kibum explained walking further in.
 

"He has his own room? What, was he exiled or something?" she laughed looking around, but keeping her hands to herself. “I heard you guys saying he had smelly feet but I didn’t think it was this bad…”
 

"No, it's more narrow than the other rooms so he offered to take it," Kibum corrected with a laugh, sitting on the bed.
 

"Dear god, Smiles has more make-up than I do…" Jeri gawked, noticing the vanity next to the bed. She picked up one of the cans and raised an eyebrow. "Mosquito repellant?"
 

When she looked to her tour-guide for an explanation, Kibum simply shrugged his shoulders.
 

The two left the room and he lead her across the living room, the others watching with raised eyebrows and chuckles. Kibum opened the door and the two walked in.
 

"This is Yesung-hyung and Ryeowook's room," he said, allowing her to walk further into the room.
 

"Wow… vanity abounds…" she snickered, noticing Ryeowook's bed had a giant picture of him handing at the head.
 

"He's not that vain, it's just a nice picture of him," Kibum laughed.
 

Jeri swung towards him, before laughing. "I keep forgetting you understand English."
 

"I lived in Los Angeles for five years, I’d hope I would have picked up on some things," he replied with a slight laugh.
 

"I just never expected you to be an American child," Jeri laughed, turning back to the room.
 

Kibum simply rolled his eyes and watched her explore the room. She knelt down next to the small tank in the middle of the room.
 

"Awww, he's so cutteee~~!" she cooed.
 

"That's Yesung's turtle, Ddangkoma," he claimed, squatting down next to her.
 

"He's so tiny," she laughed.
 

Kibum smiled and opened the cage, gently picking the turtle up. "Here, hold your hands out."
 

Jeri laughed but did as she was told and he placed Ddangkoma in her hands.
 

"Hello Ddangkoma~♪  I never took Yesung for a turtle guy…"
 

"Trust me, you know nothing," Kibum laughed, watching her coo over the small reptile.
 

Jeri pouted making him laugh and she gently placed Ddangkoma back into his home, Kibum closing the top. Her eyes scanned the rest of the room and landed on the small desk near the door. She grinned and dashed over, Kibum raising an eyebrow at her. Jeri swung around with a pink headband in her hands.
 

"Put it on," she laughed.
 

"What? No!" Kibum laughed, instantly standing.
 

"Come on~~!" she egged, bouncing slightly.
 

Kibum pouted and held down his hair in defiance, making Jeri pout as well.
 

"What are you guys doing in here?" Siwon asked, poking his head into the room.
 

"Kibum won't wear the headband," Jeri pouted.
 

Siwon looked at the accessory in her hand and laughed, looking over to a clearly defiant Kibum then back to the young teen.
 

"If you want him to wear it, then you do it first," Siwon offered.
 

Jeri gave him a baffled look and subconsciously played with her bangs.
 

"Wait, what is Jeri wearing??" Leeteuk's voice called from the living room.
 

"Yesung-hyung's headband," Siwon laughed as the girl bent over to start putting it on.
 

Leeteuk laughed and slid over to the door and poked his head in as Jeri settled the headband on her head Hangeng right behind him.
 

"Show us show us!" Kibum laughed, moving forward.
 

Jeri lifted her head and the guys burst out laughing.
 

Due to the length and the way the coordi's had stylized her hair earlier that morning, she resembled a porcupine; her bangs sticking up in the air and the hair that usually covered her ears sticking out like a spiked collar.
 

"Don't judge me!" she barked, trying to hide her embarrassment.
 

Hangeng stepped forward and attempted to pat down her spikes, still laughing. Jeri pouted and took the headband off. She swung to Kibum and the accessory towards his chest. The boy sighed but took it from her, turning around to place it on his head. He lifted his head and turned around and Jeri couldn't help but laugh.
 

"You look so adorable~!" she cooed stepping forward to poke at the small spikes on his head.
 

Kibum covered his mouth with the back of his hand as he laughed, making the other chuckle. Jeri carefully took the headband off of the boy's head and bounced over to the others.
 

"Siwon doesn't have hair…" she pouted.
 

The boy burst out laughing and had to hold onto the door so he didn't fall down. While he was laughing, Leeteuk took the headband from the girl and put it on.
 

"You have a tiny forehead…" Jeri claimed, poking at it.
 

Leeteuk laughed and took the headband off and passed it to Hangeng. The China man slipped the headband over his head and the others burst into laughter.
 

"It's the same hairstyle as Jeri!" Kibum howled, pointing to the older man.
 

"Couple hair!" Leeteuk added, patting Hangeng on the shoulder.
 

Hangeng grinned and looked down at Jeri offering her his hand, Jeri grinning and high-fiving him with a laugh. Jeri turned towards Kibum, the teen still snickering.
 

"Whoa there, deep breaths Kirby," she laughed.
 

Kibum instantly stopped laughing and gave her a baffled look as Siwon, Leeteuk and Hangeng laughed.
 

"Wait what did you just… where did Kirby come from??" Kibum asked with an embarrassed laugh.
 

"Well, from the times I've talked to you, you seem to be a bit full of hot air-" the others burst out laughing as Kibum's face gained some colour. "And you're pink," she finished with a giggle, pointing to his face.
 

The laughter got louder and Kibum covered his face in embarrassment. Jeri walked over and patted his head with a smile making him laugh through his hands.
 

Hangeng took the headband off and put it back on Yesung's dresser and the group left the room, Kibum once again leading her through the house until they were behind the kitchen.
 

"Jeez, you'd never think there was even a room back here…" Jeri mumbled as Kibum knocked.
 

The door flew open and Sungmin barreled into Jeri, nearly knocking the girl off of her feet.
 

"Jeri, Jeri! Come see mine and Kyu's room!" he babbled, tugging her into the room.
 

"Kirby help, I'm being Mouse-napped!" she cried.
 

Kibum simply laughed and leaned on the door frame, watching as his elder quickly took her to the middle of the room.
 

"Ta da~♪!" Sungmin sang, opening his arms wide above his head.
 

Jeri looked around the room to see it was, just like Yesung and Ryeowook's room, split in half. One side was Sungmin's with the light pink sheets covering his bed and…
 

"Um…. hi… Kyuhyun…" she greeted, noticing the teen sitting on his bed.
 

He had his laptop open on his lap and was looking at her over the screen. It wasn't necessarily a glare… but it wasn't very inviting.
 

Jeri sighed and quickly left the room, Sungmin whimpering for her to come back as Kibum followed after her.
 

Once the two were back in the living room, Jeri pouted and crossed her arms over her chest.
 

"I must smell or something…" she muttered.
 

"Don't worry about Kyuhyun, Jeri, it just takes him a bit to adjust to change," Leeteuk claimed, figuring what she was upset about.
 

"So… is that everything here?" the girl asked, looking around the dorm.
 

"Upstairs!" Hangeng chirped, dashing towards her and leading her to the door.
 

Jeri laughed but allowed herself to be pulled down the small foyer, slid her shoes on, and followed Hangeng, Leeteuk and Siwon right behind them, up to the twelfth floor.
 

The China man opened the door and allowed Jeri to step in first, the three following after her.
 

"Sooo… only five live downstairs, so the other eight live up here?" she laughed, walking into the living room.
 

"It's Hankyung, Donghae, Shindong, Heechul and I up here," Leeteuk explained, walking in after her.
 

"What about Kibum, Kangin and Siwon?" she asked, looking back to said teen as he walked into the room.
 

Ignoring the lack of honourifics(again), Siwon chuckled. "We live in our own apartments."
 

Jeri 'oohh'ed and followed Hangeng as he walked towards a room placed in the same area as Eunhyuk's on the lower floor.
 

"This is my room," he said with a smile, opening the door and allowing her through first once again.
 

Jeri walked under his arm and smiled. "It's so cozy," she laughed. "Do you get your own room for any special reason?"
 

"He just kind of claimed it," Leeteuk laughed.
 

"Teukie-hyung..." Hangeng fussed with a slight laugh.
 

"Wait… Tookie-hyung?" Jeri laughed, motioning to the older man.
 

"Uh-oh…"
 

"George George, George of the Jungle, strong as he can be~♪" she sang, continuing to snoop around Hangeng's room.
 

Siwon snorted in an attempt to hold back his laughter while Leeteuk and Hangeng looked between each other, confused.
 

"I take it Leeteuk-hyung now has a nickname?" Siwon snickered.
 

"George~!" she sang, squatting down to look at the things lining Hangeng's bookshelf.
 

Leeteuk gave her a baffled look. "George??"
 

"Tookie is the name of the bird from George of the-have you never seen George of the Jungle??" she gasped, turning to look at the two.
 

Leeteuk and Hangeng shrugged as Siwon snickered, hiding behind his hand.
 

Jeri sighed and stood, motioning for the trio to show her the rest of the dorm.
 

Leeteuk shared a room with Donghae, and his side was covered in white… COVERED… in white, while Donghae's was more homey feeling, although she couldn't help but laugh at the fact that he too had a big poster of himself over his bed.
 

Shindong apparently shared a small room with their manager and Jeri managed to sneak a glance of his pictures from when he was just a toddler. She asked about "Itchy"'s room, but the men simply pushed her passed it and back down to the eleventh floor.
 

When they entered, Kibum was sitting on the couch watching TV and Sungmin had disappeared, most likely back in the room he and Kyuhyun shared.
 

"Ah, so which floor do you like better?" Kibum asked, turning his head towards them.
 

Jeri laughed and sat down beside him, the others following her over. "I don't know. On one floor there's an adorable turtle and a pink headband…" she paused as the guys laughed. "On the other floor there's a China man and the need for George of the Jungle watching."
 

Siwon and Leeteuk laughed as Hangeng grinned and leaned down to hug her, Kibum giving the teen a confused look.
 

"Why are you watching George of the Jungle??"
 

"Because they've never seen it!" she cried, looking baffled.
 

Kibum simply laughed and patted her knee. Jeri suddenly straightened and had a pondering look.
 

"I should make a list…"
 

"Of?" Leeteuk asked.
 

"Everyone's nicknames, or I'll never remember all of them and I won't remember who does and doesn't have one," she laughed, rubbing the back of her neck.
 

The guys gave short laughs and Siwon left for a moment, coming back with a piece of paper and a pen. Jeri took the paper, then held her hand up to Hangeng, giving him a look.
 

"That's right, I still have your pen don't I…" he laughed, taking it out of his pocket and handing it to her.
 

Jeri nodded her thanks and then slid to the floor, the guys following after her to watch.
 

"So… Heechul is Itchy… Eunhyuk is Smiles… Kangin is Tank… Sungmin is Mickey… Kibum is Kirby… Leeteuk is George-"
 

"Is that why you want them to watch George of the Jungle??" Kibum laughed.
 

Jeri simply grinned up at him making him and the others laugh. She continued to write but paused while writing Siwon's name.
 

"This is how it's spelled in English right?" she asked writing his name out in English letters. Siwon nodded, not sure if he was liking where this was going. "I like this better…" Jeri erased the W and changed it to an M.
 

"I never realized that!" Kibum laughed, pointing to the paper.
 

Jeri grinned and swung towards Siwon who was looking down at her with a puzzled look.
 

"Simon!" she claimed, pointing at him.
 

The guys laughed as Siwon gave the teen an unimpressed look, shaking his head with a sigh.
 

"You love it, don't deny it!" Jeri laughed.
 

"Sure, let's go with that," Siwon chuckled, patting her head.
 

Jeri grinned and watched as Leeteuk looked over to the clock on the wall.
 

"Alright. Kyuhyun-ssi! We have to go!" he called out.
 

Jeri looked over to the older man and gave him a confused look. "Where're you guys going?"
 

"Kyuhyun, Shindong, Eunhyuk and I are going to be on Kiss the Radio later, so we have to go," Leeteuk explained as Kyuhyun came out of his and Sungmin's room.
 

"Alright, well be safe!" she called out.
 

"Of course we'll be safe," Leeteuk laughed. "The worst that could happen is our microphone not working."
 

Jeri rolled her eyes and waved at the duo as they left, Kyuhyun naturally not giving her a second glance as Leeteuk ruffled her hair. They closed the door and Hangeng squatted down next to her with a grin.
 

"Can I help you?" she asked with a laugh, turning her head slightly.
 

"Wanna help me make food?" he asked, giving her an adorable pout.
 

"Nawwww, with an adorable face like that how can I say nooo~" she teased, pinching his cheek.
 

Hangeng grinned and quickly lead her into the kitchen, Jeri rolling her eyes but allowing him to pull her along.
 

"Awww, you guys are so cute~" Kibum teased, looking over the arm of the couch at the two.
 

"Silence Kirby," Jeri huffed, a slight pink on her cheeks.
 

"Noooooo!! My Jeri!" Sungmin cried, dashing into the kitchen and hugging the girl.
 

"Mickey stooop~~ I'm helping make fooood~~" Jeri whined, trying to pry the Aegyo King's arms off of her.
 

The next couple hours were spent helping Hangeng cook food for the members, forcing Sungmin to wear Yesung's pink headband(and resist the urge to take a picture of it), wish the newly appointed Simon good luck with his schedule, loom over Kibum's shoulder as he played Star Craft and finally, saying farewell when Setiawan called telling her that Harii was coming to get her because Jun was whining so much.
 

Jeri managed to get out of Super Junior's building, which surprisingly still had a mob of girls outside of its doors, and climbed into Harii’s car, fastening her seatbelt as the Korean began to drive them back to their own apartment. Her head shot up when a group of ambulances and police cars sped past them on the other side of the road, their lights and sirens blaring.
 

"Someone's busy… I hope they’re alright..." she sighed, feeling sorry for whoever they were rushing towards.

“We just have to trust that they get there in time,” Harii hummed, keeping his eyes on the road.
 

After a couple minutes, the duo finally arrived at Tambourine's apartment building, Harii taking the elevator while Jeri climbed up the six flights of stairs and finally entered the dorm. When she entered, she could hear Jun and Setiawan talking to Harii in hushed tones.
 

"What are you guys whispering about over there?" Jeri asked, looking around the corner at the three men.
 

They exchanged wary looks making Jeri's eyebrow raise.

"Jeri…" Jun paused and gave his sister an apologetic look. "Leeteuk, Shindong, Eunhyuk and Kyuhyun… they were just in a car crash."
