-----------Nichkhun's POV-----------

It had almost been one week since the first filming. I hadn't seen Katie in a few days, but of course I talked to her on the phone. At the moment though, I was with Chang-sung waiting backstage. Today we were supposed to be opening up for an award show.

“Wow you guys were able to do that in so little time?” Chang-sung asked, looking like he wasn't interested, but still wanted to know. I nodded and took a sip of the soda one of the assistants brought us.

“Yeah, she basically did it on her own though. I just sang.” Chang-sung sat back in his seat.

“Wow, Nichkhun. You two make a team.” I smiled to myself, did we really?”

“We just work well together.”

“You got that right.” Chang-sung and I looked up at the sound of Taecyeon's voice. I waved.

“You know we were friends already.” I told him, but he scoffed and folded his arms over his chest. With a pout, he pointed at me.

“You are just lucky you don't have an annoying girlfriend.” Changsun looked over at Taec.

“So it didn't go well?” He asked him, I laughed.

“More like horrible, she is still calling me.” He groaned, I felt sorry for him. Oh well, I was fine seeing how I'm with Katie.

“ for you Ta-” I was interrupted by a phone ringing. It was our song, so it had to be one of theirs...I looked over at Taecyeon, who was rubbing his temples. He forced a smile and pulled the phone out of his pocket.

“I'll be back~” He sung angrily, got up and walked out of the room. All I could here was his groaning as he listened to what must have been Seung Hi on the phone.

“Is she really that bad?” Chang-sung asked, earning a nod from me. “Oh...well how about Kat- I mean Kae Ri?” He asked me, as small smile forming on his lips.

“I was already friends with her because, I met her when I found out about the show. Shes not that bad.”

“Fun?”

“Yes.”

“Nice?”

“Very.”

“Cute?”

“Definitely.”

“Hahhahaha, nice Khun.” Chang-sung patted my shoulder and got up, walking away from the confused me. What did I just say?

“Nichkhun-shii~ you need to get ready to go on stage, there are 10 minutes.” One of the many workers told me, I nodded and followed them. The whole time I walked down that hallway, many people passing me, all I could do was think. I grabbed a mic from someone nonchalantly, and started my way to the stage entrance.

“Break a leg, Khunnie.” I stopped in my tracks, and slowly turned to see who had given me my microphone.

“Katie?” I breathed. Katie was standing there with a smile on, as well as a cute light blue dress. She nodded.

“Taecyeon saw me, and told me to come back stage! Isn't that awesome?”

“Taec did?”

“Yeah, but enough about how I got here! Do your best Nichkhun, have fun.” She gave me the same smile as when we were outside the convenience store. I blushed, but nodded.

“Thank you.” I said in English, causing her to laugh. The lights flashed, signaling that the performance was about to start. I looked at the entrance that was feet away from me, and then back to Katie.

“Go~ I'll see you and the others later? You better introduce me.” She waved, and left me. I watched her go so I knew she left safely, and then I turned my back to the way she went, and once again fell into the life of a performer.

“Lets go Khun!” Taecyeon patted me on the back, and we ran out on the stage to get situated. The fans screamed out to us, and of course I smiled at them....but I felt like this was a mission in itself from the dating show.

Nichkhun's mission: Find The Girl

“And now, 2PM with 'I'LL BE BACK!'” Leeteuk, the MC for the awards announced. I looked up at the crowd as the music started, and while my feet moved on their own to the beat....I was busy searching the crowds for Katie.

“Listen Baby Girl!” Taecyeon started his rap, and right as my part came up, I spotted her. In the sea of fans, Katie was smiling and bouncing along. I couldn't help but laugh at her childish self. I winked at her -causing all the fans to squeal- and made my way to the front of the stage.

“But you better know that I'm not giving you away~

Will I eve stop waiting? No way! It'll be the same in my world

I'm your boy, your my girl!-” I continued to rap, but instead of with a straight face...a smile. Katie was screaming along with the rap. I smiled as she waved to me.

I felt my heart jump, as the song came to a close. Katie...how do you do that? Make me feel this way....I need to talk to the others after this. Maybe they can tell me these strange things happening to my heart.

----------BACKSTAGE AFTER PERFORMANCE-----------

I walked out of the entrance, and immediately was swarmed by assistants to wipe off my sweat. I ignored them like usual, and searched the crowd of people backstage.

“Nichkhun-shii? Can you come with me to talk about your outfit? We need to make your pants tig-”

“I'm sorry I'm looking for someone.” I held my hand up to cut him off, and bowed slightly apologizing. I left the confused person, and walked towards the room where the band member should be. Right as I was opening the door, I saw through the crack, Katie with the other members. Junsu and her were talking. My hand gripped the door handle tighter as I strained to hear their conversation.

“They really let you back here? I never knew fans could get back here...”

“No thats what I'm saying! I was let back here by-”

“So you are a fan?” Wooyoung asked, walking up to the two. Taecyeon wasn't in there, so he didn't stop them. Junho was standing away at a safe distance, probably afraid Katie was a crazy fan.

“Yes I am, but I got here b-”

“Who is your favorite?” Chang-sung asked, walking up as well. He towered over Katie, but had a soft smile on his face. She stepped back a bit so she wasn't so close.

“Guys she probably doesn't know that much Korean. Look, see? A foreigner.” Junho said from across the room. Thank you Junho! Remind me to repay you later, okay? I was about to open the door to save her, but stopped at what Chang-sung said next.

“Foreigner.....and you got back here without a fight....wait are you Kae Ri?”

“Kae Ri? You mean Nichkhun's girlfriend?”

“N-no I'm not his girlfriend!” She flipped up her palms in her defense. The others laughed. Chang-sung patted her shoulder, causing me to grip the door handle more.

“Its okay, sorry Khun is just with a foreigner. He is on this Korean Dating show. Do you know about it?” Wooyoung asked her, trying his best to speak slow for her. I rolled my eyes and was about to walk in, but was held back by a hand on my shoulder. I turned around to see Taecyeon.

“No offense, but are you planning on standing in front of our room's door for the rest of the night?” My eyes shot to the crack through the door, and when I looked back at Taec, he was wearing that goofy smile. Oh so it was a joke? Did he not know what was going on inside that room? I let go of the door, and forced a smile.

“Yeah sorry, I thought I heard something....” I lied. I tried to hear what the others were saying in the room, but it was hard when Taec was looking at me all confused.

“Hah, okay well open the door!” Taecyeon laughed and patted my back. I swear he isn't that smart all the time. I sighed and nodded, turning the handle to the door.

“So who is your favorite, if you aren't that Kae Ri girl?”

“That's easy! Nichkhun!” I turned and opened the door, right as I walked in, hoping no one would notice....I was greeted by those words. I looked up, and everyone in the room went silent. Katie looked at me and blushed, rubbing the back of her neck embarrassed. Junsu smiled at my entrance.

“KHUN! You have a foreigner fan!” He exclaimed, and I nodded, ignoring him. I walked up to Katie and smiled.

“You enjoy the show?” She nodded.

“Did you see me?”

“I sang to you.” The others watched in bewilderment as Katie and I talked in English.

“Taecyeon let me back here again, but none of them let me explain! They even made me deny that I was Kae Ri. Which I don't know why I did...” I laughed, and patted her head.

“Its okay.” I said in Korean, earning the surprised faces of all the members.

“You know her?” Junho asked, walking closer now.

“KAE RI!” Taec yelled, still standing in the doorway. He ran up to her, and picked her up and turned her around. I joined all the members in making our jaws drop. What was he doing?!

“So that’s...”

“This is Kae RI! Khun's girlfriend.” Taecyeon laughed, and set down the laughing Katie. I stared at her smiling face, and she stopped and looked away.

“You lied!” Wooyoung said, pointing at Katie. She shrugged.

“I never got time to explain...”

“So this is Kae RI? Cute. Now I see what Khun sees~” Chang-sung said, smiling. He held out his hand, and Katie shook it without hesitation.

“Did he now?” She smirked.

“Shut up Chang-sung!” I said, and he just laughed.

“Tone it down, Khun. You said it yourself. She's cute!” I blushed and crossed my arms.

“So you are his girl friend?” Junho asked. Thank you Junho! Always changing the subject.

“Ha, not really. Its just for the show.”

“Will you ever get together?” Junsu asked, a smirk forming on his lips.

“Junsu.” Taecyeon shot daggers at him. Thank you Taecyeon! God this is awkward.

“Yeah I think that's enough Q&A for the day.” I told the guys, walking upt to Katie and grabbing her hand. “Want me to take you home?” I asked. She looked around and then nodded.

“Sure, I'm tired anyway.” She smiled, and waved to everyone.

“By Kae Ri! See you in a few days!” Taecyeon yelled.

“Make sure we get a chance to meet again, alright?” Junho called, and Katie nodded. I led her down the long hallway, and when we were out of a busy are, I let go of her warm hand.

“Sorry, I don't know what came over me back there....” I looked at Katie as we walked side-by-side out the back doors of the building. She smiled and hugged her arms.

“Its fine! It was probably awkward...I went there thinking you would already be there, but then the others just jumped me and started asking questions. You should have seen them.” She laughed, as if I hadn't seen...but of course she wouldn't know I was watching through the door.

“Yeah...sorry I didn't 'save' you from that. The boys can be tough, but they are really good overall.” I smiled, and we walked over to a car I had borrowed from my manager. I pointed to it. “Here.”

“Okay, and you know Khun. Its nice to hear you talk about the others like that.” She smiled softly at me. “You guys must be best friends. I'll try not to get in the way.” She laughed again, and thanked me as I opened her door for her. She slowly sat down in the passenger seat. As I walked around and got in, I whispered so she couldn't here me.

“Hopefully you don’t,” I looked at her, “I wasn't us to get along even better than them, Katie.” I smiled, and she looked away blushing. A laugh escaped my lips as I drove out of the building.

--------30 Minutes later-------

Although Katie barely lived 15 minutes from the concert area, it took us twice as long just to find her house. The whole time we were lost, because Katie didn't even know how to get there. I don't know why, but the entire time I watched her look over a map that was in the car, trying to figure out where we were, I couldn't help but think: how cute? Or Shes adorable when she tries that hard, the look on her face is priceless!

“Here! THERE IT IS WE FOUND IT!” I laughed as I stopped in front of an apartment building. I walked around the car and opened her door for her.

“We've arrived at your destination, madam.” I joked, while holding my hand out to help her out of the car. She giggled and took my hand in hers. I lifted her out of the car and let go as I walked her to the steps.

“I live up on one of the top floors, so I can just say goodbye here. I don't want you being late for anything.” She said, pulling out keys from a little bag she had strapped to her wrist. I looked up and nodded.

“Sure, I'll see you in two days? That's when we film right?” I asked. I knew when we had to be there, but to tell the truth...I was stalling.

“Yeah, I'll see you then. If you are free we can hang out too?” She cocked her head to the side and waited for my answer. I smiled and looked at my watch so I didn't seem desperate. Don't want to be one of those idols, right? I looked back up at her, and shrugged.

“I don't think I have any plans...” True. A smile formed on Katie's face.

“Great!” My heart skipped a beat at her smile. “And maybe I can see the other members. I do want to meet them.” She added, the grin on my face slowly faded away.

“The others?” So she wanted to see them.... “Sure maybe...”

“Awesome! But don't worry, we can do something else too. I doubt they would want to listen to us talk English.” She laughed, my laughter following soon after.

“Right, well I'm going to go, okay? You sure you don't want me to walk you to your apartment?” I asked, but she shook her head.

“You don't have to protect me all the time, Nichkhun.” I sighed, and she shivered as a strong wind passed. I frowned when it calmed down.

“Here.” I said, slipping my jacket off. I handed it out to her, and she blinked.

“I don't need that!”

“You are shivering.”

“No I'm not, really. I'm fine, go on home.” She smiled. I stepped closer and gave her a small hug. She was cold.

“You've been standing out here in a summer dress, Pabo. Take it.” As I pulled back, I placed the jacket over her shoulders in a swift motion. She blushed and looked down at her feet.

“Thanks...” She held it closer to her, and smiled.

“Night Katie. See you tomorrow.” I broke the silence that had fallen over us. She looked up and nodded.

“Night, Khunnie. Thanks for a great night.” She turned and walked up the stairs. I placed my hand over my heart as I saw her climb the staircases. I could hear her words playing over in my mind.

'Night, Khunnie. Thanks for a great night.'

'Thanks for a great night.'

'A great night.'

So did we go on a date? I asked myself dumbly. I shook my head. Stop it Khun! What made you think of that? You are just dropping her off- the jacket- don't couples do that? No! Now seriously, stop this. You need to calm down, talk to the hyungs, and have a well earned sleep.

“Nichkhun? You do realize you can go home now?” I looked up, to see Katie leaning over a balcony four stories up. I scratched my head.

“Yeah, sorry! Just thinking about something.”

Thinking about you.

“Oh, okay. Well night then! I'll give you the jacket back tomor-”

“NO ITS FINE!” I called out to her.

Keep it and wear it, so that we can look so much closer.

“Um, okay! I'll see you tomorrow. Night Khunnie.”

“Yeah night!” I felt silly doing this. If anyone passed, they would think we were a couple calling out to each other. Like Romeo and Juliet- that’s right.

“Night, my Juliet.” I whispered under my breath, as I turned and got in the car, and drove off.
