Ch/1       Kiss of life

Aligned in chairs; wearing button up cornflower blue thin dresses. Each's eyes were closed; inert, soft bodied girls presented to the seven others. The eldest was compelled to touch the face of one whom wore his gold plated nametag to signify she was made especially for him. The bold white letters read 'Sunggyu.' Sunggyu swallowed for a moment as he had to calm every fiery nerve that yearned to pulse a scream out of his mouth,

"Impossible," he gasped at Lay; who was sitting next to a doll as well; she had a small frame and; thinnly toned with a copius amount of sweet wine red hair spilled at the top of her head. She wore his badge on the cloth over her right ; she was unresponsive; paralyzed in place like the others.

"To finish the transformation you have to kiss her," Lay said seeing his brothers slowly look over their girlfriend to be. He noticed Sehun was not present, as Sehun could be rather confrontational especially when he pushed over the edge. Lay sighed lightly and leaned over into his girl; pressing his lips over hers. Her lips moved for a moment and he continued on...giving her her first breath of air; his lips moved rhthmically over hers. Until he pulled away...to see his hand being warmly held by hers. His gaze penetrated into her brown ringlets around coal spheres; her lips were a wet pink as she watched him incredously,

"Do we need to leave the room?" Taemin snickered with Zelo joining in on the erted joke. Sunggyu gave them fatherly looks as if to hush them,

  "No one will be doing any of that with these girls; or any other girls," he annouced staring at each of his younger siblings as if to dare them to try it under his supervision. Lay held in his embarrassment by saying:

"The kiss is a essential spark of it's own---you have to kiss her," he then slowly threaded his fingers through her satiny hair that coveted her amble shoulders and reached down her slender back. She was quietly observing him; as Lay watched the others who slowly copied his earlier action; and they hotly kissed their sleeping girls---awakening with a steamy lip intertwining.

"Someone get SeHun!" Taemin was eager to see SeHun's girlfriend when she awoke. Dongwoo looked up slightly from the studying gaze of his girlfriend; he'd noted her lavish and glossy ebony hair; those pouty coral painted lips,

"He worked hard last night so he'll get cranky if we wake him up this early," he informed; delicately touching his treasure as if she would fade into the air at any given moment. Zelo looked at the powder blonde bob his female wore; she had asloped eyes that gave off a y feel rather than adorable--- but perhaps looks were decieving. Taemin amongst the rest curiously uplifted the brim of his short and quaint spouse's mini dress only for SuHo to quickly shove it down...

"Taemin!! What do you think you're doing?!" he reprimanded the eighteen year old who smiled nervously knowing the innocent grin would keep the others from attempting to hit him. SuHo breathed and looked back to his girl; he softly her rosy cheeks her docile eyes were gazing into his own with wonderment. 

"Taemin! Stop that!" it was Sunggyu who now scolding Taemin and his curious hands that were trying to pull the hems of her dress down to uncover her chest

"Treat her with respect! She may be a creation---but damn she's still a girl!!!" Sunggyu gnarled in a lucid scowl. He seemed disappointed in Taemin who looked at him severely

"You act like I was doing other things!"

"I couldn't tell if you were going to or not!" Taemin rolled his eyes secretly before he returned to her sights. Chanyeol hadn't noticed his doll watching him as he snickered at the confrontation with the curious Taemin along his erted explorations and the gentlemanly elders,

"We can't leave Taemin alone with her," chuckled Zelo while Taemin blew steam into the air,

"I just wanted to see if she was really human and not some living Barbie," he said defensively. This clicked something in everyone else's minds,

"Wait Lay! You had to dress them up--," Chanyeol began...

"---YOU SAW THEM !!!!" Zelo's yell rang throughout the den room; catching like fire to the ears of each male. They all stared immensely; judgingly "I promise you guys I closed my eyes during it all---plus I had help," he looked to his side

"Umi," he called out. The boys were astounded to find a little girl trot in; wearing---

"Hey that's my shirt!!!" Dongwoo exclaimed imediately at the black shirt with a beautiful woman's face upon it," I was looking for that too!" he crossed his arms and glared at Lay

"You have two girlfriends?"

"Technically Chaejin is responsible for her---he kissed her,"

"Who's Chaejin?" asked Zelo oblivious, Taemin turned back to him with a shrug

"I'm not sure either---just act like you do,"

"He's the co-manager of 'Made in Love'! Jeez, I worry for you two," said Chanyeol knowingly; he looked to Lay again,

"Yeah Chaejin does have a girl and all but he agreed to teach her,"

"Teach her what?" Dongwoo asked

"How to be human," Lay's reply evoked arched brows and inquiring gestures from the other seven of his brothers

"We have to do that?" Zelo whined in a grueling way,

"I'm not sure if the blood infused them with our knowledge---but I know they absorb alot and learn quickly. Umi learned how to have a conversation in just two days---by observing and being talked to." he gestured to the anticipating girl,

"Ayo whaddup' up you guys?" she said nonchalantly when they'd expected a cheery bow and 'Good Morning!'

"She was listening to Yongguk," Lay clarified which caused the lot to loosen up and nod understandingly

"Makes perfect sense," laughed Zelo nudging Taemin. 

"It won't be that hard I guess," the pod concluded

" So you guys, we should decide on names and then leave for work," Lay suggested checking his dazzling wristwatch that glimmered on his arm. 

"Hurry up," he told them tapping the face of his clock

"While you're rushing us---what name do you have her?!" said Chanyeol with a cocked brow,

"Um...," Lay looked into those bold eyes poised upon her face breathing littly,"Lanelee Lee," he said confidently. It was as if this name he'd contemplated for her was...was a perfect fit. He looked as deep as he could---the realization that she was his responsiblity---all his--- gave him chills that clenched his spouting nerves. They tilted their heads at his confident bolting voice

"Lanelee?" they wanted reassurance

"Thats what I said didn't I?" he said snapping out of his stare. Taemin shrugged

"Kang Myeong Jin---a spin off of my favorite manga book character!" he then caught her look the same look that Lanelee had trapped Lay with; as if to feel endearment and immediate attachment. He blinked for a moment noticing her hand hand braced around his wrist and he slowly pulled away---

"I'm going to uh...go around with the cart..." he was wondering what that stare was. That look. *Weirdo* he concluded within.  The others named their girls; not knowing that each had learned so much. The names, parts of their partner's personality---and that they were girls---and different somehow. Lay turned back to Umi, his eyes travelled across the completed projects---human girlfriends. Umi could already anticipate what he might say

"Umi take care of them," she'd already given a thumbs up and turned her back to him in mid-sentence he turned out of the room; locking the door behind himself. Lay looked at his brothers

"We should've said goodbye," he was going to go back and say it but Chanyeol slung his arm around his neck

"We're coming back tonight!" the two walked off towards their jobs.

 It was silent for a moment as the girls were puzzle piecing words they heard, deciphering and waving their views over their surrounding. Umi scratched the back of her head and yawned

"Okay girlies, let's get some things straight. I'm your big sister Umi---you listen to me okay?" they nodded being able to understand the jist of what she was telling them

"And you cannot leave this room," she pointed to the far wall where there was an opening closed by a mechanical door that the boys had disappeared through "You cannot go through that door," she told them; watching as MiRae turned to Hyunjoo to whisper about that far-off object

"Does it eat them up?"

"Hopefully it spits them back out!" Hyunjoo held her hand to her lips wearily. Umi felt her heart rattling; they sounded so much younger than they looked it made her want to help and protect them---or atleast that's what Lay said she had to do.

"Is that how I sounded when I awakened?" she asked herself as they all got up and wandered the den perimeter. She then noticed them look from the tiles to the den floor peering into the kitchen...why didn't they venture in? Or even go in the boys rooms? Umi chuckled as she came to a special realization

"You guys can walk anywhere in here! You just can't go out that door!" she smiled mildly at them all. The eight girls blinked shyly but followed her words; Umi was here to help then through this strange world. Umi would've curled up on the couch and nodded off it was quite tempting; that warm heap of pillows that would carress her in a sweetnes; it's lovely trap. But then she heard jours creaking open, doors shuffling and then she gasped

"Ayo girls!" she copied Yongguk's phrase, Yongguk was pretty awesome in her opinion.

The boys felt their bodies lighten; things were clearer...they had girlfriends! Well maybe...if the girls accepted them...
