Three people watched upstairs as Jonghyun walked into the same room the once kidnapped son, Sam Dong, still occupied. It had been about 2 days since he woke up; 3 days since they got him back.

“I think Jonghyun made a new friend.” Minho smiled as he watched his hyung walk into the medical room.

“Well, it’s a good thing, neh? The boy’s too young to go through something like that. He needs somebody like Jonghyun.” Victoria replied. Both of the bartenders were speaking Chinese.

Luna sat there quietly listening in on their conversation across the bar. She smiled, “At least it’s Jonghyun. He’s better than you and Eunhyuk.” She joked with Minho who gave her a glare in response.

“Omo~. I forgot you can speak Mandarin, too!” Victoria exclaimed while speaking a mix of Korean and Mandarin.

“Hey! I heard you! You’re talking about me, aren’t you?!” A male voice yelled in their ears in Korean. The three upstairs laughed quietly at the outburst.

“Neh, oppa. But it wasn’t that ba~d.” Luna sweetly said while smiling at the once again mad Minho.

“Tch, whatever…” Minho grumbled while Eunhyuk yelled, “I don’t believe you!” Luna just smiled at her two friends upstairs and replied in English even though Minho was the only one who could understand it between him, Victoria, and Luna. “You know, it’s quite an advantage knowing so many languages.” Minho smirked at her while Key said in English, “Yah! One of us here can at least understand one word in whatever language you say!” Luna just laughed, knowing her oppa was right.

A girl with dark blonde hair walked into a club that was getting pretty busy every night she came in. She was becoming a frequent customer to this place. She walked up to the bar to see her friend working, as always… but this time he had his male friend working with him as well since it was busy.

“Hey, oppa! The usual, please!” She brightly said. She turned to the man’s friend and bowed, “Annyeonghasaeyo! Nice to meet you!”

The man’s friend bowed in exchange and gave her a bright smile, “Nice to meet you too!”

The targeted male looked up to see the bright face of another of his new friends. “Hey, Luna!” He responded in English. He heard clanking of glass next to him and turned, speaking in English, “Yah, hyung! Be careful with those! They can break, you know!”

“Ah~, I know, Kibum! I won’t break them!” He brightly responded in English while carefully picking up the glass he almost dropped on the counter. They didn’t even have their Korean accent anymore.

Key turned back from his hyung to his friend sitting in front of him. He saw her smile then heard the most surprising thing ever. “You’re always working! Are there days when you’re not here?!” She joked around in English. She then turned around to look back out onto the dancing crowd. He noticed she still had her Korean accent, but it was rare to find somebody speak English that fluently in the club. He looked out of the corners of his eyes to his recently hired friend, Jonghyun, who was waiting tables.

Jonghyun glanced over at the bartender then started thinking while walking around picking up empty glasses. A light bulb in his head as he thought of an idea. “Kibum~.” Key looked up in the waiter’s direction while still making the girl’s drink. “See if she knows any more languages. She could join!”

Key looked surprised then looked to the girl in front of him still looking away into the dancing crowd. He whispered carefully with his other hyung standing next to him, thinking the same thing. “But… she’s young…”

Both of the bartenders saw Jonghyun shrug while picking up another glass, “She could want to join. Just see? We could use somebody like her.” He looked up at Key and Onew as he saw them both contemplating it. He looked at them for another minute before turning back around and grabbing the rest of the empty glasses.

“Kibum… Jonghyun’s right. We could use her if she knows any more languages…” Key turned to look at his hyung as he handed the girl her drink. “Here, Luna!” He said in English once again.

Luna turned around and looked at her drink before taking it. She responded in English, “Thanks, oppa!”

The two bartenders watched as she walked away to an empty booth and sat down before taking a sip of her drink. They spoke in Korean this time. “But, hyung… Don’t you think she’s kinda young to work here?”

The latter looked thoughtful for a minute then shrugged. “I don’t think so anymore. I’m sure we’re bound to get employees even younger…” Key nodded in understanding just as Jonghyun walked back up to the bar.

“So… Are we going to test her?” The newcomer asked, curiousness evident in his voice. The elder bartender and the waiter looked at the youngest of the three waiting for his decision. They knew the boss and their assistant upstairs were listening in intently.

Key thought for a few moments while idly cleaning a glass. He was looking down while staring into space. “Kibum?” Two voices asked at once. The youngest of the three looked up and sighed. “Fine… She could be helpful… But we need to make sure she is always safe.” His partner and their waiter smiled in agreement.

“Boss-sshi. What do you think?” Jonghyun asked, wanting to know her opinion.

“We’ll test her. She won’t know it at all though. We’ll always keep her safe, Key.” Their boss reassured the caring employee. The latter just nodded downstairs eve

Chapter 37: This is such an amazing story! Can't believe I just found it.. I've never read anything like this before, but I just loved the amount of detail you put in for every single member...it must have taken a long time and so much effort! I'm a Cassie, so the things about TVXQ and JYJ left a great impression. It was just...unbelievably amazing. I loved every single bit of it, and I guess not all stories have happy endings...especially with JYJ and Key :( but thank you for sharing this story, this was really good :) good luck with your future stories! <3
