"Why aren't they coming back?! School's about to start soon!" complained Jonghyun as he, Minho, and Taemin waited for the others to show back up.

Just then, Yebin and Onew walked into the classroom.

"Did you tell Yebin noona everything?" questioned Minho.

Onew nodded his head in reply.

"That stupid cousing of mine!" said Yebin as she rolled her eyes, "By the way, did Minyoung come back yet?"

"No..." answered Taemin quietly.

Suddenly, the door to the classroom slid open and Key, Minyoung and Simone entered.

"Noona!" cried Taemin and ran up to Minyoung, "It's all my fault! I'm sorry!"

Minyoung was surprised and confused, "Taemin, what are you talking about?"

"It's because of me that-"

Key suddenly cleared his throat loudly.

Taemin looked at Key questioningly while Key indicated a little 'no' with his mouth.

"Minyoung, shouldn't you introduce Simone to the others?" asked Key as he changed the subject quickly.

"Oh!" Minyoung gave an apologetic smile to Simone then quickly introduced everybody to her and the other way around also.

The group was getting to know Simone more when other students began to file into the classroom and soon, school began.

*~*~*~*~*

"Taemin-ah~!" called Onew as the bell rang, indicating the end of school, "I saw how you couldn't take your eyes off of Simone~!"

Taemin blushed and looked down.

Onew chuckled, "Don't worry. I won't say anything to anybody."

"Thanks, hyung." smiled Taemin, embarrassed.

"No problem, my cute little dongsaeng!" grinned Onew and tousled Taemin's hair.

"What are you guys talking about?" asked Jonghyun as he came up to them.

"Oh, nothing. Just wondering what our test scores will be on that exam we just took." replied Onew calmly.

"Dude! That exam was a kiler! I hope I passed it at least..." sighed Jonghyun.

"You probably didn't study for it. That's why it was a killer for you, hyung." smirked Taemin and stuck out his tongue at Jonghyun.

"Yah! Respect your elders and watch your mouth!" Jonghyun smacked the back of Taemin's head.

"Ow~!" cried Taemin and rubbed his new bruise.

"Don't abuse Taemin like that, hyung." warned Minho as he joined the group.

"He needs to learn to respect others, especially the elders." stated Jonghyun coolly then looked around, "Hey, where's Mr. Almighty?... And Minyoung, Simone, and Yebin?"

The rest of the boys shrugged but then paused, slow sly grins forming on their lips. Key and Minyoung together?

*~*~*~*~*~*

"Hey Minyoung, how do you think you did on the exam?" asked Key as he came up to her right after the bell rang.

Minyoung shrugged, "Good, I guess."

'I wonder who did better... Me or Minyoung?' thought Key because a tiny bit of hope still had not left him yet.

Yebin and Simone soon came up to them.

"Simone, how'd you like your first day?" asked Minyoung.

Simone pouted, "It's my first day and I can't believe that they still made me take that exam! I wasn't there while you guys learned all this! But~ it was pretty easy."

Yebin sighed, "Don't tell me your as smart as Minyoung."

Simone laughed, "As smart as Minyoung? Now way could I be! She was the top number one student in all of France! I could never measure up to her."

'Damn! Top number one in all of France? But I'm top number one in all of Korea!' thought Key and frowned, 'She definitely might steal my title.'

"Wow, Minyoung! You never told me that before!" commented Yebin then pointed towards Key, "You know, he's number one in all of Korea."

"Oh, really? Minyoung is one heck of a competition, no?" said Simone to Key.

Key forced out a smile and laughed, "Ha ha ha, o-of course!"

Yebin could sense the uneasiness in his actions and being the nice cousin that she was, changed the subject quickly, "I'm so hungry~! Let's go out to eat, guys!"

"Sure, where do you want to go?" asked Minyoung.

"How about the new restaurant that opened just yesterday down by the corner? My treat." grinned Key.

"Why're you being so nice suddenly?" questioned Yebin skeptically, "Oh, wait~! It's because of that little plan you-"

Key quickly covered his his hand and glared at her, whispering, "Don't. Say. Anything!"

He turned back around to Minyoung and Simone and laughed sheepishly, "Yebin speaks a lot of nonsense when she's tired. Let's get going!"

Yebin quickly pulled Key's hand off and glared back at him. Minyoung and Simone didn't notice anything and began to walk off campus.

"Don't do that ever again!" hissed Yebin at Key.

"If you don't spill anything with your cheap mouth!" replied Key just as threateningly, "How'd you find out anyway?!"

"Onew oppa told me everything." smirked Yebin.

"You're really dead if you say anything to Minyoung." said Key through gritted teeth.

Yebin smiled innocently, "What could I possibly tell her, dear cousin? You don't trust me?"

"You were just about to tell her a min-"

"Aren't you guys coming?!" shouted Simone, interrupting Key when she and Minyoung noticed that the other two were still at the other end of the hall.

"We're coming~!" yelled back Yebin and ran over to them, dragging Key along.
