Younha took a deep breath as she walked out of the building, holding the files close to her chest; her orders had been simple: to make sure no one got a hold of them. It bothered her how she was always sent on bothersome errands such as this one. Since she was a girl, no one believed her to be capable of more than transporting files, taking calls, and of course, getting coffee for those hard at work. Why couldn’t she be like those? Sighing, she hopped into her car, turning it on, and then heading towards her next destination.

Little did she know, someone had been peeking from behind another set of cars, just waiting for her to depart.

HyunJoong opened the door to the apartment, surprised to see the other members tumble to the floor. With a sigh, he walked over them and went to the bathroom, shutting the door behind him.

JungMin rolled his eyes in disgust, “Wah, he didn’t even give a damn when he saw us on the floor. Did you guys see that?”

YoungSaeng stood up, dusting off his white shirt with a groan, “That prick.”

HyungJoon put his finger to his chin, thinking, “So does this mean he’s really with Yuri-shi?”

KyuJong scratched the back of his head and went over to the couch, lying down on it, shutting his eyes to take a nap.

The others couldn’t believe him; how could he just go to sleep at a time like this?

Yuri smirked, clearly glad to see the woman was gone. That Youn-whatever girl. “Aish, she thought she could just order me around. The nerve of that girl…”

HyunJoong brushed his teeth with a frown on his face as he remembered the past events from today. He splashed water on his face, slapping his cheeks lightly as he spread the liquid soap on his smooth skin. Reminiscing once more, but of an event that he looked upon with a smile, he looked at his reflection in the bathroom mirror.

“Oh HyunJoong! Your skin is so soft…like a baby’s !” The little girl chuckled to herself, amused at the way he scrunched up his face.

“Yah!”

“Mehrong!” Sticking out her tongue, she , enjoying the very moment. She then sprinted away, heading off to hide somewhere.

He immediately went after her, flinging out his arms, hoping to pull her back, even if it was by her pigtails. But she hid well for he could not find her. And soon his mother shouted his name, signaling him that it was time to return home.

He dried his face with the towel, dabbing at his flesh gently, catching the moist drops of water with it.

“Hyung.”

“Mm?” Jaejoong looked up from the contract he was reading, going over the guidelines for a movie he was to star in. Shutting the pamphlet, he hid it under the pillow as the other approached him slowly.

“When are we going out again?” Junsu scratched the back of his neck uncomfortably, struggling for words to say.

“Since when am I the leader of you guys?”

“It’s just…I was just wondering. It’s been a while.”

“I see. Well go to sleep Junsu-ah, we all need some rest. I for one have had an exhausting day.”

“Araso. Sleep well Jaejoong.”

“Ye.”

Once Junsu shut the door, Jaejoong was about to pull out the pamphlet again when he suddenly pushed it back in frustration. Covering his eyes with his hands, he groaned.

Yoochun lifted one of his brows when he saw the other coming, “What happened?”

Yunho placed a hand on Yoochun’s shoulder, also curious to see what Junsu would say. Junsu sighed, “He’s just tired. He didn’t even answer my question. Ah, but he said to sleep.”

“Aigoo, that boy just knows how to give orders…”

Soon the night became morning, the darkness followed by the bright light shining from the sun. Everyone was in a rush this day, each for their own reason. The boys of Dong Bang Shin Ki chowed down cereal, shoving it down their throats. They had another rehearsal to do and then it was scheduled for a photoshoot, group and individual shootings as well.

HyeYoung returned to her job, doing the usual—washing dishes, taking orders, and just being as helpful as she could. There were few customers, but the ones she attended were mostly nice. A group of young men however tried hitting on her, claiming to be ‘new’ in town. All she did was flash her smile and the men shut up, just following her with their eyes. She sighed, it was far better for them to stare than touch. Much better.

SS501, well, they really had nothing to do. So each went off on an adventure, thinking a short fling could be discovered, if not the beginning of a beautiful relationship. HyungJoon had gone to visit his brother, Ki Bum from U-kiss, for they had not seen each other since a month ago. The two had decided on disguising themselves to go out to an arcade, betting for a large prize. YoungSaeng stayed in the studio, spying on his fellow member HyunJoong, wondering what it was that he’d do. As for JungMin and KyuJong—they headed off to get a few drinks to talk, laugh, and cry.

“Jaejoong-shi, your concept here will be a cold, misunderstood man. Try to resemble the attitude of a man who has recently lost a lover.”

Jaejoong groaned, not surprised once he heard his role. It was always the same thing, people wanting to see a cold, teasing side of him.

“Junsu-shi, your job is to represent a young boy and his first love. Be shy, innocent.”

Junsu was handed a bouquet of flowers and he practiced various poses. He couldn’t help but have fun as he exaggerated his ‘character’ in this.

“Yoochun-shi…a rugged rebel that is running through the world, getting a taste of a new life.”

He raised an eyebrow, satisfied with his role for it was a preferred image of his.

“ChangMin-ah, represent a confused man that has no experience in the world whatsoever.”

He was confused when he heard this. Almost opening his mouth to complain, he scowled, thinking to himself, ‘What the hell is this?’ Once the girl walked off to consult with one of the photographers, he said aloud, “Why is it that I always get the weird concepts? Ones that even I don’t understand.” The other boys chuckled, amused at the maknae’s comments.

The woman returned, pushing her round glasses higher on her nose, saying with a grin, “Further on, Yunho. Mm…your concept is one of anger. A frustrated man that’s life seems to be leading to nowhere.”

Yunho nodded, raising both eyebrows, thinking it was an interesting concept. Well, much better than ChangMin’s at least.

HyunJoong sighed as he walked to his car, slipping out his cellular phone, dialing HyeYoung’s phone number, hoping she would pick up this time. She wasn’t ignoring him, was she? They really needed to talk…and soon. Her voice was soft when she answered. He faintly smiled, replying, “HyeYoung-ah, how are you? Ah? You’re busy? Oh…araso.” With a sigh, he rubbed his cheekbones, completely stressed with the way his life was going for the moment. He lifted one of his eyebrows, turning around to the empty parking lot, feeling a presence, a rather annoying one. “You can come out now.”

Yuri mentally kicked herself for being discovered so easily. But she would just play this off for she was in no mood to deal with his mysterious moodiness. “Oh, you’re here?”

“Yes, I am.”

“I came to visit a relative of mine and I couldn’t help but hear your voice.” She hadn’t completely lied, but really just left most of the truth hidden.

“Inside workers, eh?”

“Moh? Yah, you fool. I am just going to go now. Have a…erm nice day.”

He shrugged, clearly not giving a damn whether this girl cared for him or not. She was just a member from So Nyeo Shi Dae, that girl group many guys drooled over. He’d never found anything really amazing about them for they were more of the…cutesie fake type. Those kinds of girls were the ones he figured he’d never understand. Then again, what did it matter to him? Driving off, his car zoomed away, leaving Yuri behind in the dust.

Yuri raised her hand, scowling once more. “Aish, that man thinks he’s everything. The things I do for fame…and the other girls actually work hard. Well, I’ve always liked the easy way. My personal preference. HyeYoung…ah? Who is she? Hm, better not be any competition. No one stands a chance against me.” Swaying her hips as she walked, hoping more men would fall for her this way, she smirked. Suddenly she halted and placed a finger to her chin, “Now to mess with that secretary girl. I’ll make her life a living hell.”

HyeYoung shut the phone in her hands, exhaling with a frown. She had lied to him for the first time. But she couldn’t help it for she was not ready to confront HyunJoong about the subject.

An elderly man placed a hand over her shoulder, “Agasshi, what is wrong?”

“Eh? Nothing.”

“Aigoo, don’t lie. I have seen you a couple of times in this small place. You are very pretty. It is distressing to see a beautiful girl frowning.”

“Chwesonghamnida! But, who are you?”

“Your knight in shining armor!” He chuckled a little before coughing. He covered his mouth with one hand while he pulled out a handkerchief with the other.

“Omo! Kwenchana?” She quickly grabbed a glass of water, offering it to him with a grin. He thanked her after taking it, slowly letting the liquid seep down his throat. She took the glass back to wash it and when she returned—the man had vanished. Instead she found a small hairclip with a red bow attached to it. “What is this?” She shrugged and looked up, almost flinching when she saw two familiar faces up close.

“JungMin! KyuJong!”

YoungSaeng had been observing everything attentively; he was amused at the manner everything had worked out. Once he was sure both Yuri and HyunJoong were gone, he pondered aloud, “So Yuri is the third wheel here? And HyeYoung is busy? Very interesting.”

The Rising Gods of the East (DBSK) were sitting together in a table as they snacked together. Their photoshoot was halfway completed. Now was the group session, something that would be much easier. The boys would be able to fool around as usual.

“Aish, who picks the concept ideas?” ChangMin furiously slurped his soda, taking out his frustration on the plastic straw.

Yoochun shook his head, saying in English, “Whoa man.”

“I mean, seriously. Does a two year old decide on what we do?”

Junsu rolled his eyes at his dongsaeng, “Yah, don’t complain. Personally, I don’t mind doing these things. I love acting cute.” And with that, he put both hands to his face, doing that innocent pose of his.

“You baby.”

“Yah!”

Jaejoong then remarked, adding his bit to the conversation, “Remember this is all for our fans. They enjoy seeing us and it is because of them we made it this far.”

Yunho lifted one of his eyebrows with a wry smile, “Should we strip for them then?”

The other boys shot him glares, not even a bit amused with what he had said.

“What are you boys doing here?” HyeYoung still couldn’t believe that they were right in front of her. What interest did they have in someone like her?

“When do you get off?” JungMin asked. He even winked at her, being his usual playful self. Well, they didn’t call him y Charisma for nothing.

“In an hour or so…”

“Let’s go out for a drink then.” KyuJong put both of his palms together, making the sound of a clap.

“Eh?”

JungMin placed his arm around her shoulder, saying with a grin, “Come on HyeYoung! Let us have some fun! Just us three. You can trust your oppas!”
