Charlene's POV:

I yawned and opened my eyes slowly. I blinked a few times and closed them again when I heard a groan and felt something hugging me. I looked to the right.

Nothing.

I then looked to my left and found a peacefully sleeping Taemin. I chuckled and brushed his hair out of his face when he woke up.

"Already awake?" he asked with a smiled. I nodded and smiled back. Just then for the second time in my entire life, I felt butterflies in my stomach as we stared into each other's eyes. Was this for real?

Suddenly someone knocked against the door.

"Wake up you two! Breakfast is ready." Key shouted from the other side.

"I think we should go out now," Taemin said and I nodded. When we both got out of the room we got greeted by SNSD and Minho's family.

"CHARLENE!" Minkyung squealed and hugged me tightly. I hugged her back laughing.

"What are you guys doing here?" I asked her.

"Just visiting Minho and else. You know; our weekly to-do thing." Minkyung told me. I nodded. Suddenly someone hugged me from behind. I turned my head and saw Hyungseok. I chuckled and patted his cheek in a friendly manner.

He grinned at me like a fool and ruffled my hair into a mess.

"Nice to see you again," he told me softly with a mischievous undertone. I slapped his arm playfully and hugged him.

"I missed you, idiot!" I said.

"So, do you like me now?" he asked jokingly and I glared at him.

"No. I just missed you but I will never like you!" I said and he laughed.

 

Taemin's POV:

I went towards SNSD while Charlene was busy with Minkyung noona. I greeted them and they greeted me back. "Taemin-ah, do you still have a crush on... You know." Sunny noona grinned teasingly. I didn't respond to her question; instead, I sat there embarrassed with a reddened face.

"Come on Taemin. Just admit it! You still like her!" Yoona noona said. Suddenly I heard a familiar male voice laughing. I turned my head once again and saw Charlene talking to Hyungseok.

"Taemin?" I turned my attention back to the others. They all gave me a look. I sighed and went into the bathroom to get some peace.

I sat on the floor being all alone until someone knocked on the door.

"Mh?" I groaned.

"Charlene here!"

I stood up and unlocked the door. Charlene came in and locked it again. I watched as she sat down beside me.

"What's wrong with you?" she asked and looked straight into my eyes with worry. I shook my head.

"It's nothing," I mumbled and looked down.

"Come on Taemin." she pouted. I sighed but eventually spoke up.

"There is this certain girl."

 

Charlene's POV:

"There is this certain girl."

My heart began to ache. What's wrong with me?

"When I met her for the first time, she was like a younger sister for me. But when I saw her in person I felt how my heart skipped a beat. I asked Key hyung for advice and he told me to confess to her soon."

"And what's the problem?" I asked raising a brow.

"She's in a relationship."

I blinked in surprise.

"Who is she?" I blurted out.

"You know her."

My eyes widened in surprise. I just had one person in mind.

Elizabeth.

I gulped and turned to him.

"Taemin, whoever that girl is; make sure you confess to her soon. I maybe am not sure but there could be a possibility that she misunderstood her feelings for her current boyfriend. But if she does, make sure that she's happy." I said and smiled faintly. Taemin nodded. Suddenly I felt a stingy feeling on my left spot. I clenched a fist and placed it on my chest as I started to have a hard time breathing. It felt like someone was choking me and at the same time stabbing into my heart. The next thing I knew, all went black.

 

Taemin's POV:

Charlene placed her fist on her chest as she breathed heavily. I started to panic and looked at her worried.

"Are you okay?"

Suddenly her eyes closed. Mine grew bigger and I started shaking her softly.

"Hey, Charlene. Charlene? YAH! CHARLENE ALONZO! WAKE UP!" I yelled. I gritted my teeth, unlocked the door and carried her bridal style out.

"SOMEONE CALL THE AMBULANCE!" I cried.

"YAH TAEMIN! WHAT HAPPENED?!" Key hyung asked as the others started to panic through the dorm.

"I don't know either! She just fainted suddenly!" I told him.

"Minho, Call the ambulance. SNSD noonas and all the other girls will take care of Charlene. Onew hyung, you will alarm Elizabeth and Rochelle. Jonghyun, Hyungseok and me will get to Yoogeun's to pack some stuff her."

I bit my lower lip as I watched everyone running around. I then felt someone tapping my shoulder. I turned and saw Key hyung giving me a backpack.

"You will be the one who will Charlene to the hospital." He told me with a smile and got out to Yoogeun's with Jonghyun hyung and Hyungseok.

"I called the ambulance!"

"I called the others!"

"We put a wet cloth on her forehead!"

 

After 5 minutes of waiting, the ambulance finally arrived.

"Who is related to her?" The ambulance man asked. Nobody raised a hand.

"One of you must come with us!" He said. I raised my hand.

"I will!"

"Please get in!" He ordered and I got into the ambulance.
