Minho: Nicole, wanna go play soccer with me?

Nicole: Soccer..? I’m not good at soccer.

Minho: It’s okay. My dad is a soccer coach, which means I’m pretty good.

Nicole: Ah, okay. I’ll play!

-Arrives at Minho’s dad’s soccer field-

Minho: Dad!

Minho’s dad: What are you doing here?

Minho: I brought Nicole with me. We’re gonna play soccer.

Nicole: Hello adjusshi, I’m Nicole.

Minho’s dad: It’s nice to meet a member from KARA.

Nicole: Oh, you’re a fan of KARA?

Minho’s dad: Ah, you could say that.

Minho: Well, let’s play. We don’t have all day.

Minho teaches Nicole how to play soccer. They both scream out of nowhere. Nicole accidently trips over the ball and falls on Minho! Nicole slowly opens her eyes…

Minho: -giggles- Are you alright?

Nicole: -shy- Yeah…

Their lips are an inch away from each other… Minho hesitates and ends up pushing Nicole off.

Nicole: Ow!

Minho: -shocked- Oh crap, are you alright?

Nicole’s lying on her stomach, in pain from falling and being pushed.

Minho: -laughs-

Nicole: You’re laughing?! -gets up and tackles Minho-

Minho: Aahh!

Somehow they went from playing soccer to wrestling in the grassy soccer field.

Meanwhile… a few yards away…

Reporter: Cha… this is good. This is really good! -snaps for more picture-

Minho’s dad: Everyone, kick!

Reporter: Ya, ya, ya! You know how much this camera cost?!

Minho’s dad: Do you know much it cost to mow this place?

Reporter: -shutters- This… this isn’t a public park?

Minho’s dad: -glares-

Reporter: -runs away-

-The Next day-

SM CEO: WHAT IS THIS?!

Jonghyun: -reads the title- Nicole cheating on Key with his own member..?

SM CEO: These pictures… EXPLAIN THESE PICTURES!

Taemin: -glops- Whoa… hyung, what were you two doing?

SM CEO: I told you guys that I was going to figure something out… couldn’t you have stayed low for a bit?

Meanwhile back at KARA’s company…

DSP CEO: -deep breath- What… what is this..?

KARA’s manager: She… she told me that she was going to play soccer with Minho…

DSP CEO: Soccer..? Soccer..? DOES THIS LOOK LIKE SOCCER TO YOU?! Bring the girls in here.

-KARA steps in-

DSP CEO: What... What is going on here?

Nicole: We were supposed to be playing soccer… I didn’t think that would happen…

DSP CEO: Who exactly are you going out with? Minho? Key? Anyone else I should know about? HUH?!

-KARA slightly jumps from fear-

KARA’s manager: I’m sorry I didn’t tell you in the beginning… I’ll explain everything.

DSP CEO: So… so what you’re saying is… Key is just using her?

KARA’s manager: -shakes his head-

DSP CEO: -furious-

KARA’s manager: Who… who are you calling sir?

SM CEO: Hello?

DSP CEO: Hello?

SM CEO: About what happened today… I’ll figure something out. I’m not sure what’s happening but I’ll stop it.

DSP CEO: Yes, please do that. Also, tell Key to not talk to Nicole. I don’t think they should be friends anymore.

SM CEO: Wh.. wae? I think that’s for them to decide, not us.

DSP CEO: Nicole is a sweet and nice girl; I don’t want her to get hurt from your childish kid. I won’t allow them to be friends anymore. Good bye.

SM CEO: Hello? Hello?!

DSP CEO: Please send Nicole in.

KARA’s manager: Alright.

DSP CEO: Nicole, I’m sorry I yelled at you. I know you’re a nice girl and that you just want to help out your friend, Key… but, you can’t be his friend anymore.

Nicole: Wh… what..? Why not..?

DSP CEO: He doesn’t seem like a very good friend. Don’t go to school tomorrow. Stay at your dorm and take a few days off. Don’t associate with SHINee either.

Nicole: -tears up-

DSP CEO: Got it?

(Nicole is crying and all she could do is shake her head and agree.)

DSP CEO: You can go now.

-Nicole walks out of his office-

DSP CEO: Wait, KARA’s manager.

KARA’s manager: Yeah?

DSP CEO: Take away her cell phone.

KARA’s manager: … Ah, yeah.

Gyuri: Nicole, what happened in there?

Hara: Are you okay?

Jiyoung: Unnie, let’s go out to eat. Should we eat meat? Ice cream?

Nicole: Ice cream would be nice…

Seungyeon: Oppa, what happened?

KARA manager: I’ll tell you later… let’s just go out for ice cream. Nicole, I’m sorry, but I’m gonna have to take your phone.

Nicole: Eh? Why?

KARA’s manager: I was told to.

Nicole: Alright…

What’s going to happen with Nicole and Key and Minho’s friendships? How will Nicole talk to Key or Minho now? How will they talk to her?
