"Yah, Ryoko ah. Ireona. Yah." Kai was tapping your shoulders to wake you up. You dragged the covers over your head. "Five more minutes please?" You mumbled and continued to sleep. Kai clicked his tongue. *For a girl, she sure is a heavy sleeper.* This time, instead of tapping your shoulders, Kai started kicking the bed. "Yah! Ireona! We got to go somewhere." He oulled the covers away from you and pulled you up to a sitting position. You slowly opened your eyes. You expected it to be bright because it was morning, but surprisingly, it was still dark. You glanced at the alarm clock beside you. 

"4.30 AM"

You rubbed your eyes to make sure you weren't dreaming. "Kai oppa, what time is it?" You said, still rubbing your eyes. Kai put his hands on his hips and stared at you. "It's 4.30 am in the morning. Now go wash up and get dressed." You blinked at him. "But it's a Sunday, there's no school. Even if there was, this is way too early to wake up!" You hissed at him. Kai clicked his tongue and flicked your forehead. "Yah, just get dressed will you? We're going somewhere." You rubbed your bruised forehead and pouted. *Where are we going if we're waking up this early?* You lazily got up and dragged yourself into the toilet. Kai watched you and shook his head. *For a girl, she acts like a guy sometimes.*

After brushing your teeth and washing your face, you headed back into your room. Kai was still there waiting for you. "Um..oppa. I need to get dressed now so it would be nice if you waited outside?" You awkwardly stood by the door. Kai looked at you and smirked. *Why is he still here?! Does he want to see me change?* You thought to yourself. You quickly brought up your arms to cover your torso. Kai chuckled at your reaction and went closer to you. *What is she thinking? Does she really think I'm a ert?* You gulped as Kai went closer to you. *W-why is he coming here? And..w-what's with that look on his face?* Kai was gazing at you and a smirk was still on his face. When he was close, he bent down and softly whispered in your ear sending you goosebumps all over. "Wear somethng comfortable okay? I'll wait for you downstairs." You couldn't say anything but froze on the spot. You slowly nodded. 

Kai tried to hold his laughter and went outside after closing your bedroom door. *Silly Ryoko, what did you think I was going to do to you?* He shook his head and slowly went downstairs in the living room. Back in your bedroom, you finally took a deep breath and placed your hand over your chest. Your heart was beating like crazy. *For a second there I thought oppa was going to...* You let out a nervous chuckle and shook your head. *Silly me, why am I acting this way? There's no way for oppa to be erted...right?*  You shook the thought from your head and quickly got dressed. "Something comfortable huh." You said to yourself. You decided to just wear a baggy t-shirt and sweatpants. *Since oppa was wearing something similar so maybe i should go with this.*

Downstairs, Kai was already waiting for you at the front door. "Are you ready?" He said. You nodded and the two of you quietly left the house. "Oppa, where are we going? It's so early." The streets were quiet and the lights of the neighboring houses were still turned off. Only a few cars could be seen and the air was still cold. Kai breathed in the fresh morning air and stretched his arms. He looked at you and smiled. "We're going to some place secret." 

You didn't know why but you started to blush. *Whenever oppa smiles, why do I feel so weak?* You thought to yourself. Luckily for you, Kai didn't notice you were blushing. After a few minutes of walking, the two of you stopped in front of an alley. "Where is this place oppa?" Kai smiled and ruffled your hair. "You'll see." And he lead the way. *I don't know why I'm showing this to her.* He thought.

You shrugged and quickly followed Kai. There was a black door in the small narrow alley. Kai took out something that was dangling around his neck. There was a silver chain. To your surprise, attached to it was a key. Kai glanced at you before slotting the key in to the hole and turned it to unlock the door. With a soft creak, Kai slowly pushed the door.

From outside, you couldn't really see anything. It was pitch black. Kai placed his hand behind your back and gently ushered you inside. *Where is oppa taking me?* "Ryoko ah, close your eyes for a sec will you?" You pouted and did as you were told. Slowly you could feel Kai gently bringing you in to the dark room. You heard the door close behind you. "Oppa, where are we?" 

Kai smiled and he reached for the switch and turned in the lights. You could hear the soft buzzing of electricity. "Okay, you can open your eyes now." Slowly you opened your eyes. The light was too bright and your eyes slowly adjusted to it. Staring straight at you was your own reflection. *Are those mirrors? Wait, this looks like a dance studio.* You looked around you. The room was quite small but big enough for you and Kai to move around in. And on one side of the room, the whole wall was made up of mirrors. At a corner, you spotted a small radio with stacks of CDs beside it. *This is a dance studio.* 

Kai watched you as you examined the whole place. He couldn't stop smiling to himself, feeling a bit proud to have you impressed by the studio. "So, what do you think?" He said as he stood beside you. "Oppa, is this where you always go to every weekends?" You asked him. Kai nodded while running the back of his neck. "I come here to dance." 

"By yourself?" You turned to face him. Kai's smile softened and he nodded. "I've never told anyone about this studio except for you. I don't really like it when there's too many people around." You blinked at him. "But why did you bring me here?" Kai shrugged and he sat on the floor. You sat down too. "I just felt like showing it to you." *I'm not sure why either. Maybe you're special Ryoko.*

You can't help but smile. *Wow. I'm the only one he's ever shown this room to. I must mean something to him.* Kai suddenly cleared his throat and clapped his hands together. "So, shall we get started?" *That was getting way too awkward. Let's distract myself by dancing.* Kai thought. Kai stood up and he offered his hand to you. Instead of taking it, you just stared at him. Kai raised his eyebrows. "Are you going to sit there all day?" He asked sarcastically.

"What are we going to do?" Kai sighed and pushed your forehead with his forefinger. "We're going to practice our choreography for the concert pabo." *Choreography? Oh yeah, I almost forgot about the concert. Wait, I feel like there's something else about the concert that I should remember. But what is it?* While you were deep in your thoughts, Kai snapped his finger in front of your face. "Like I said, are you going to sit here all day?" You pouted and quickly stood up. *Just when I thought oppa was sweet he just had to be a jerk again.* Kai chuckled and ruffled your hair.

"So how are we going to start?" You tied your hair into a bun and did some stretches to prepare yourself. At the same time, you were thinking about how to go about the choreography. Kai smiled and patted your shoulders. "I already came up with the choreography." Your eyes widened. "Jeongmal? Wow." That was all you could say because honestly, you were really impressed. Kai felt proud of himself too. 

"Are you going to show me?" Kai didn't answer you. You looked at him and found him looking at the floor and smiling to himself. "Hello? Oppa?" You waved your hands in front of me. Kai snapped out from his thoughts. *Shoot. I was too busy thinking about her that I even forgot she was here! That's so embarrassing!* Kai covered his face with his hands. You couldn't help but laugh at his cute gesture. *I wonder what he was thinking about.* 

Kai then cleared his throat and walked over to the radio at the corner of the room. He looked through the stack of CDs and smiled when he found the right one. He gently placed the CD in the radio and pressed play. He turned to you and motioned you to sit at the side. "I'm going to show you the male part of the choreography first. I'm not sure if you know this song but it's quite popular around here." He rubbed the back of his neck. *This is the first time I'm going to dance in front of someone. Plus, this is a solo dance and Ryoko's the one who's watching.*

You nodded and clapped your hands. "Don't worry oppa. I'll look at your choreography and then you can teach me what to do." *I wonder what kind of dance he came up with.* With that, the music started playing and Kai started dancing. You couldn't help but stare. He's like a totally different person. The song was kind of slow but it was kind of catchy too. Kai also did moves as if there was someone dancing with me. *Looks like this song was meant to be done in pairs.* You thought to yourself. You also couldn't help but notice Kai smiling to himself when he's dancing. After a few minutes the music ended and you started clapping. Kai smiled at you and covered his face. *I hope I did okay. It's my first time performing for someone.* You giggled. *Kai oppa is actually kind of cute when he's embarrassed.*

He walked to the radio and stopped the music. "So what do you think? This choreography was meant for the song so I didn't really come up with all the moves." You stood up and put your hands behind your back. "It was wonderful oppa. You were wonderful." You said, which made Kai smile even wider. *She liked it. That's a relief.* Then it was time for Kai to teach you the female part of the choreography. It wasn't that hard to you since you already had some experience in dancing. You were also a fast a learner for these kind of things so by the end of the day, the two of you were aready halfway through the whole thing.

"I think that's enough for today. The hyungs must be wondering where we are. Especially you." You looked at your watch and was shocked to find out that it was almost 7PM. *We danced for that long?* Right then your stomach grumbled. *That's right. I didn't eat any breakfast this morning.* Kai laughed at you and ruffled your hair. "Come on, I'm sure D.O hyung cooked something delicious for dinner." You smiled at him. The two of you grabbed your stuff. Kai took a last look in the studio to make sure you didn't leave anything behind before closing the door and locking it. He put the key back around his neck and tucked it in under his shirt.  

The two of you walked out of the valley. The street lights were on and people were busy getting ready ready o go home to their families to have dinner together. *All the oppas are like my family now. I'm so happy I have them.* You thought to yourself. Kai noticed and he wrapped an arm around your shoulder. "Yah, what are you smiling about huh?" You smiled at him and shook his head. "Oh ani oppa. Just  happy that's all." Kai raised his eyesbrows and smiled at you. You couldn't help but blush when you saw his smile. *Kai oppa should really think about smiling more often. He looks gorgeous.* Suddenly, Kai leaned down close to you. "About that dance studio, will you keep it a secret?" 

You blinked at him. *A secret? I wonder why he hasn't told anyone about it.* Kai noticed your expression and chuckled. "I'll tell you why when it's time. But for now, just don't tell anyone about it okay? It'll be our little secret." With that he placed his fingers to his lips and winked at you. You nodded and quickly turned your face away from him so that he won't see you blushing.

*Why am I being like this all of a sudden?* You thought to yourself. The two of you then continued walking home with Kai's arm still around youur shoulders, keeping you close to him. *I managed to get some quality time with you. Today's the happiest day of my life Ryoko ah.* Kai thought to himself and smiled.
