Sora's POV~

“God Sora, get a hold of yourself.” Those kind words were said by one of my best friends; Eunmi. Only her I suppose, other friends would be a lot kinder, and a lot more considerate.

I sighed into the phone.  After my meeting with Lee Soo Man I had rushed to this stupid place I have to call my home and sobbed. Now I was wondering why I had even bothered in calling Eunmi in the first place.

“Well, how would you handle seeing your ex and him be spiteful towards you? Every other ex we’ve encountered when it comes to you they are either happily in love, living with his parents, or trying to reconcile. And you have a new boyfriend too.” Boy crazy Eunmi simply laughed.

“If you don’t like my advice why did you call me?”

“I can’t exactly call my brother, or my brothers. One, if I call Sungmin he’ll probably castrate Taemin for managing to make me cry. Two, if I call Sungmin he’ll chase me here and demand for a reason as to why I didn’t tell him about our past relationship. Three, if I call my brothers the only response I’ll get is an interrogation from Sungmin.” I explained as patiently I could.

“I suppose so. Anyway, what you should do is get rid of his stuff. Remember that teddy bear he gave you? The one holding the heart and sai-“

“Yes. I remember.” I said through gritted teeth.

“Well, put it away. I know for a fact you put it in the drawer in your bedside table next to your lamp when you still lived with Super Junior. Put his stuff in a box. You want me to come over? I can always help.” Eunmi’s tone had gone soft, and I realised she was being serious. She actually wanted me to forget about what Taemin and I used to have.

I thought for a moment. I didn’t want to be alone in this ridiculously large condo. And I had just met with an ex. She could also help me dress for my schedule tomorrow. I sighed inwardly before agreeing. “Yes. I want you to come over. I’ll just go tell the doorman.”

“Your doorman would still be up at this time?”

“Twenty four hours service at this place. I don’t even know why.” I sighed. “I have to call him now.”

“Okay sweetie, I’ll be there soon.” Eunmi promised. I could almost hear the soft smile she had on her face. It was one of these times I was grateful for my friend’s strange bipolar reactions.

I hung up silently, and disappeared to the bathroom to wash off the tears that had crusted my skin. It felt disgusting. I groaned, as I scrubbed my face with my new face wash, and dried it roughly, making my nose go pink.

I took my time to pick up my landline that sat on a temporary table near the wall. I pressed the number one and waited for it to go straight to the reception place. The young man picked it up “Hello Room twenty five, how may I help you Miss?”

I sighed, “My friend is coming over. Her name is Kim Eunmi. Around my height, of one hundred and sixty centimetres, and has brown hair… just past shoulder length. She has the dark blue eyes because she wears coloured contacts and tends to wear skinny jeans and big hoodies. It’s not hard to notice her.” I ended my little description, with a loud breath.

“Okay Miss. We’ll keep an eye out for her.”

“Thank you.” I hung up on the young man, so he could keep busy with the other male. Maybe they were in a relationship. I bet you he would bottom. I burst out laughing at that thought. This is what I get for finding out about KyuMin, and KangTeuk, and HanChul, and YeWook, and all those other crazy ships that my brother’s fans go crazy about.

I think that made my day. Other than that random thought, my day was ruined by a six letter person, it was brightened by another. They even have the same amount of letters in their name! I hate them both. I scrunched up my nose and made my way to my bedroom. I had to dodge everything that the decorators had left on the floors in their strange order.

I walked into my wardrobe and ran my hand through the clothes I had that belonged to my brothers. Their clothes were so comfy I was genuinely jealous of them. They were all hung up neatly, and I felt like I was in a crazy Super Junior store opened up by a sasaeng fan.

What is up with my thoughts running today?

I shook my head, and found the teddy Eunmi was talking about. I held it up to the light in my wardrobe. It still looked the same. The soft caramel fur was matted down and it was hugging a pink heart. The heart had “Taemin loves Sora” embroidered into it in a darker shade of pink. I sighed.

On the shelf next to my brother’s clothing I reconciled with my old phone. That did break. That would go into the box too.

The silence of my new home was broken by my doorbell ringing oh so cheerily. I decided then I wanted that changed. Opening the door I was greeted to Eunmi, who pulled me into a back breaking hug. I gasped at the loss of air, but hugged her back.

“Now, broken hearted weakling I call my best friend. Let’s get rid of Taemin’s .” She took me by the hand, and was taken aback by the current state of my ‘home’. “Whoa…”

“It’s still being decorated. My room is this way.” I lead her to my done up bedroom.

“Wa! It’s so pretty my pretty friend!” Eunmi cooed, pinching my cheeks. I groaned, and pushed her off me. “Ooh, you even have a walk in!” she squealed, taking a step into my wardrobe.

I pinched the bridge of my nose. “So, now you’re here. What was your master plan again?” I asked her, as she happily sifted through my hung up clothes, and neatly arranged shoes.

“Where is Taemin’s ?” she asked me bluntly. I pointed to an area of the wardrobe near my brother’s stuff. She happily skipped towards the area, and started digging through the clothes, recognising his from the others because of the size. “So, let us see Taemin’s clothes. I saw his teddy. What else?” she looked at me, as she dragged his clothes out of the wardrobe and into my bedroom.

I sighed. “I don’t know. This is your plan.”

“True, very true my heart broken weakling.” She nodded all knowingly. I held my hands up in a ‘I give up’ manner and she laughed. “Isn’t this your old phone? Why do you still have it?”

“I don’t know.”

“Well, we can give this to him as proof that you weren’t lying about your phone being broken. Then we can put this teddy in, and this hat, and this shirt that he-“

“I really like this shirt!”  I exclaimed, taking back the soft piece of cotton from her and put it against my chest. “It’s so soft.” I explained after she rolled her eyes.

“It was from him so give it back to him.” Eunmi said sternly, yanking the shirt from my grasp. I sighed, indicating that she was right. “You said so yourself Sora, you lost feelings for him since he was always neglecting you. Show him you’ve moved on.”

I sighed, and felt my shoulders droop. “Come on, Lee Sora! This is not you! What happened to the Sora from earlier today?!” she grabbed my shoulders and started shaking me. I sighed once more. “Damn it Lee Sora! Get a hold of yourself, before I call Violent Kang Jinju in America.”

I took her hands off my shoulders. “Fine. Here’s another thing I got for him, but never got the chance to give him.” I passed her a small album it had our photos in it. “That’s all I suppose.”

“I’m so proud of you baby.” She laughed, wrapping her arm around my shoulder. “Now, what else are we going to do?”

“I have a photo shoot with my brother tomorrow. Can you help me dress?”

“Of course my lovely.” She grinned all knowingly. “But, for the record… won’t they give you clothes to dress into?”

“I don’t know, I don’t know a lot about anything in this industry. Ask your brother!”

“Nah, I got into a slight argument with him, and we aren’t on best terms.” Eunmi chuckled awkwardly. “Anyway, is your photo shoot like an interview too? I saw that kind on TV and I think that would be so cool.”

“Probably.” I shrugged.

“First, where’s a box that I can use to put Taemin’s stuff?” I found one next to my bed that I had recently emptied. “Oh, don’t forget the heartfelt letter.”

“Hey… where did my awkward turtle key ring go? It was in here.” I frowned.

“Not the time!” Eunmi chastised, tapping my nose. “I want you to wear a dress… but gets cold outside. So maybe… we can find something cute with jeans and a sweater.”  She said, gleefully, as she raked through the racks, I got started on the note.

It didn’t even take her long to find an oversized off shoulder dark blue sweater, and a pair of white jeans. She paired this outfit up with a pair of medium blue flats, and my black Abercrombie and Fitch parka- that we bought together.

She waved the whole outfit at me, after hanging it up. “I’m sure you can accessorise yourself.” She laughed. I just stared at her, dumfounded. “Anyway, I got the invite to your home warming party…”

“So?” I raised my brow, folding the sheet of paper in half, and leaving it on the top of everything in the box.

“Who else is invited?”

“Certain persons are.”

“Stop speaking so formal and let me see your list! I take it Taemin isn’t invited.” Her question was more a statement, and I nodded once.

“So who is?”

“You’ll see, but you have to remain calm and collected. You have to act the same as the way you do when you’re over at Super Junior’s dorms.”

“IDOLS!” she squealed, causing me to sigh. She cleared , regaining her posture. “So, I assume everything here will be all set, and you have a-to-die-for outfit ready for that?”  It was her turn to raise a brow.

“Of course I do. I’m not a complete idiot. My outfit is already in that wardrobe.”

“Let me see!” she shrieked, making way into my wardrobe. “Why do you have so many dresses?”

“Because I do.” I said simply. “If you want, you can choose something to dress into tomorrow, because I don’t want to be here alone. I’ll also let you choose a dress from this selection. My dress isn’t even there, so you won’t be taking mine.”

“I freaking love you! This is my Sora!” Eunmi couldn’t take the smile off her face, and all I could do was shrug. I followed her into the walk in and she indulged in my dresses. Finally, she picked one that I hadn’t worn in a long time. “This dress is so cute!”  She chortled, holding the dress against her body, and I envied her obvious curves.

“Try it on.” I nudged her, and she looked at me hesitantly. “Go on.”  She sighed happily, and pushed me out of the wardrobe, sliding the door shut. I couldn’t help but smile at my best friend. When she came out, I was shocked. Mainly because I realised then how gorgeous my best friend was. “Damn it you’re actually god damned gorgeous.” I cursed, noting how the top light blue part of the dress lightened her skin, and made it glow; whilst the bandage skirt part that was a very light cream in colour didn’t even reach her knees because it was cut short, but hell, it made her legs look long.

“Aw, thank you lovely.” She said, blushing.

“No, I’m not even kidding. You’re so lucky you have curves and you’re so god damned pretty.” I pouted, “You’re going to outshine me on my night.”

“No I won’t.” she took a seat next to me on my bed, after stepping up the step things, barefoot.

“Sure, sure. Since I’m best friends with someone so pretty, I definitely won’t be outdone.”  I rolled my eyes sarcastically and she sighed. “You should keep that dress. It suits you better than it did me.”

“Aw, thank you my lovely.” Eunmi cooed.

“Okay, I’m tired, so I’m gonna get ready for bed.”

“Speaking of bed, where am I sleeping?”

“You can just share beds with me.” I waved her off.

“Great! Your bed looks so soft anyway.” She smiled, “Oh, and Sora, before you go for your photo shoot you should give Taemin’s stuff. It’ll surprise him once he opens the door.”

I sighed, and nodded. “That means I have to wake up extra early, but hey ho.”

“That’s the spirit!” Eunmi laughed. “I’m just going to wear your jim jams for now.”

“Sure, whatever. Don’t forget to choose your clothes for tomorrow. I don’t want you spending half an hour on just a hoodie and skinnies.” I rolled my eyes.

“Love you Sora baby!”

“Ew, you and your pet names.” I spat, as I pulled on my pyjamas, consisting of a shirt and my favourite shorts that have cupcakes all over them. Eunmi took my other set that had a cookie and a glass of milk on the shirt, with matching bloomers. I didn’t say anything, and just pulled the duvet over myself, letting Eunmi choose tomorrows outfit.

“Okay, my outfit for tomorrow is all set.” Eunmi giggled, as she found an unused toothbrush in my spares and started brushing her teeth.

“Just get to bed, I’m sleepy.” I grumbled, pulling the duvet over my head.

“Alright, grumpy.” Even with the duvet over my head, I could tell she was shaking her head at me. She hit me with my Hello Kitty plush, before snuggling in next to me. I frowned, but simply closed my eyes. “See ya in the morn lovely.”

I didn’t say anything, because I was too tired.

Although, when I awoke I wasn’t surprised to find Kim Eunmi using me as her cuddle pillow, squeezing the life out of me. I let out a grunt.

“Shopping… cameras…Yongguk, all mine mmm…. I love you…” Eunmi murmured in her sleep.

“Yah, Kim Eunmi wake up you .” I cursed at her, wriggling out of her grasp. She awoke and scowled. “What? You were calling me Yongguk. Do I look like a Bang Yongguk to you?” I asked rhetorically, with a roll of my eyes.

She sighed, and finally asked, “Do you have more than one bathroom?”

“Yeah, check one of the other bedrooms. There’s a bathroom for each one, they should all be set up by now.” I muttered, heading into my freshly done bathroom. Sleeping in my condo that night wasn’t that bad thanks to Eunmi. “You better be quick with the shower because I’m leaving soon!” I yelled at Eunmi, who had switched on the shower, in one of the other bedrooms.

“I’m out, I’m out okay missy?” Eunmi rolled her eyes, as she strolled out of the bathroom, wrapped in only a towel. “Now, clothes.” She pointed to the wardrobe and let her dripping self leave a wet trail.

I followed after her, finding my own towel, and dropping it onto the floor, and started wiping the floor with my feet. We don’t need any hazards so early in the morning. “My floors are marble, not wood Eunmi. At least dry yourself decently before stepping all over my house.

“Do you remember these shorts?!” Eunmi ignored my scolding, and held up a pair of denim shorts, with ready-made tear marks down the legs. “Well, I’m wearing these and this awesome top!” she chuckled, as she held up one of my favourite off shoulder tops with a massive Zebra on it. I shrugged, and dressed in my sweater and jeans, I quickly applied my BB cream and mascara.

I grabbed my bag, and my phone, and headed towards the door with the box in my hands.

“That’s my girl.” Eunmi smiled, her hair finally dried. “Now, you’re going there first before breakfast right?” I nodded. “I know you too well. Anyway, I have a job to attend to, and I’ll see you whenever.” She spoke to me in the elevator, filled with the teeny little mirrors.

Out of the elevator, and the condo building I waved my goodbye to Eunmi and hauled a taxi. I half muttered the destination and hurriedly got out of the taxi, paying the driver a tad too much, not that it mattered. I tapped my foot impatiently as I got into the elevator, and left Taemin’s belongings in front of his door.

I could hear his door opening, so I sped to the stairs instead and hid at the landing on the floor below. I swallowed my tears, and waited for it to be safe, before I continued my walk down the stairs. I couldn’t risk anything to see Taemin.

I realised then, that I would be going past his look-a-like’s dorm but it wasn’t like he would be able to see me, I was on the stairs. I ruffled my hair, unsure of how to feel. Was I supposed to feel relieved? That I let him go at long last?

I sighed, plopping down onto the landing I was at. I leant against the wall. I couldn’t even find it in myself to cry, I let go of him. What was there to do? Frustrated, I continued down the stairs. When I reached the bottom, I was panting. I was so out of breath it was unreal.

I rested on the first step, and let myself take a breather.

“Gah, I’m happy. Lee Taemin is gone. Maybe I can finally date Eunmi’s hot brother.” I muttered to myself, as I pushed open the door to the lobby cautiously. I let out a breath of relief when I found there was now Lee Taemin in sight.

Suddenly, my phone buzzed in my pocket.

From: My Bipolar Bear

Just for the record. Until you get a proper boyfriend, I’m letting you date Hyunsu. He’s closest to your age I suppose. And yes, Kim Daehyun is off limits, he’s two years too old bro.

I couldn’t help but smile slightly at the text. I skipped out of the building with a grin, and waited to hail another taxi, not even minding that I was flailing my arms like a freak. I happily told my destination to the driver, and skipped into the SM building after my short breakfast. Greeted by the receptionist, who handed me the directions to the room, I was going to.

Thanking her graciously, I sped towards the room, up the elevator and everything. I opened the door cautiously and poked my head through.

“There you are Sora! Come on, we have to get you dressed for the shoot!” I was ushered over by a stranger. My eyes were wide as he took me to a lady who was placing clothes against my chest. I just stared as item after item; she threw clothes at me to wear.

I took them confused, and put on the clothes, realising it was a pair of blue tailored shorts, a white tank top, and a black blazer. I hated to admit it, but these clothes were cute. I walked out of the little cubicle and she sent me to the back drop, of white.

I met with Sungmin who smiled at me sheepishly, I acknowledged him with a nod, and suddenly the shoot started. Back to back, crossed armed with Sungmin. Aegyo.

I wanted to gauge my eyes out at the pain. I’d rather be home and dealing with the decorators or even better, with Kim Hyunsu the-

“Oh my gosh! Hyunsu?!”  I shrieked at the photographer. Hyunsu peeked from behind his camera and grinned at me, even daring to wink. I couldn’t help but let out a relieved breath.

“I’ll be photographing and interviewing you two.” Hyunsu grinned, giving me a thumbs up. “Now, can we go for something natural?”

I immediately pouted at the trying to be angry Sungmin, and everyone cooed. Sungmin grabbed me by the shoulders and I plastered a smile for the sake of it. The poses started coming naturally, and I was tired by the end of the hour.

“How do you guys deal with shoots lasting for an hour?” I asked my brother, who simply grinned.

“I’ve been doing it for long enough.”

At that moment, I was handed some juice. I gratefully took the bottle of juice from the lady, and drank the whole thing in two goes. “You drink like a man.” Sungmin scrunched up his nose.

“You drink like a girl.” I snapped, handing the empty bottle to the lady who threw it away for me. Sungmin rolled his eyes, and I felt a flash. “Was that a shot?”

“You two looked so natural there I couldn’t resist.” Hyunsu giggled, hiding behind a random person, and I resumed my conversation with Sungmin during our break.

“Do you guys miss me?”

“Henry and Kyuhyun have… missed you the most. The rest say it’s a lot quieter.” Sungmin said, with a nod.

“It’s weird to say that I sort of miss cooking for you lot, but I do.” I admitted with a laugh, Sungmin chuckled, and ruffled my hair. I pouted at his actions. “Are you all eating well?”

“Of course we are, I can cook, Zhoumi can cook, and Ryeowook can cook! We survive.”

“Interview time!” Hyunsu clapped his hands, and brought my brother and I, to two seats, surrounded by numerous camera men. I felt my palms become clammy, and I wiped them on my thighs, hoping to ease it a bit. I am not photogenic.  “There’s not much to worry about, just answer as you would.” Hyunsu soothed me, by patting my thigh. This only earned him a death glare from my brother. Hyunsu could only chuckle awkwardly when he noticed.

“We shall start off with, both of you Lees. Lee Sungmin and Lee Sora. Brother and Sister. Correct?” Hyunsu asked, and we nodded. “Sungmin of Super Junior… how old is Sora now?”

“Eighteen, she becomes legal next year Valentine’s Day. Oops.” Sungmin laughed, and ruffled my hair.

“And why do we only find her out now?”

“Because… First, I lived in the UK for around fifteen years, and then I moved here, to live with my brother. My parents were abroad at the time, and so I had no choice but to live with Sungmin. I was actually, going to be known a little later, but certain things happened, and here I am.”  I explained thoroughly. I broke into a smile for the purpose of it.

“Why were you in the UK?”

“I was studying in a boarding school… since five.”

“I see, so your brothers knew about this?”

“Yes.”

“And, so Sungmin took care of you since last year?” Hyunsu looked genuinely surprised. He did know I have a brother right?

“Yes. I and the rest of Super Junior.” Sungmin said quite proudly, and all I could do was roll my eyes.

“Impressive…” Hyunsu nodded, turning to his sheet. There looked to be a lot more questions, and I disliked this. “How about, on terms of being an SM trainee, how were you found and accepted?”

I nudged Sungmin, giving him a death glare. He blushed. “I was found by my brother who recorded me singing and sent it to the company, and that was when I was accepted.” I shrugged nonchalantly.

“Do you go to university at all?”

“I’m going to be studying Architecture at Seoul National University in January.”

“Architecture student, so was that your original plans then? To be an architect?” I nodded. “Interesting. Ah, here’s a question for you. Have you ever been in a relationship?”

I glanced over at Sungmin and felt my ears burn. I wasn’t really sure how to answer. Should I say the truth or lie? I took a deep breath and prayed for my life.

“Yes.”

Hyunsu’s lips pursed immediately, and for some reason I could feel Sungmin glaring into the camera. “Intriguing…” Hyunsu mustered to himself. “I think that should be all for now.” His face lightened, and he smiled. “I thank you for letting me interview you, especially you Sora. You are big news.”

I felt a strange weight on my chest when I inclined my head. Hyunsu immediately came and shook my hand eagerly. Damn this guy was hot. I couldn’t help but admire his soft brown hair with scattered blonde that he had spiked at the front. Even with the hair gel his hair looked soft.

He smiled at me, his teeth gleaming. I smiled back, and turned to the strangers who had me dressed earlier, to change into something else for another set of shooting. Haha, it sounds like we’re away to be shot. You know, with guns. Shot with guns. Hey, Shot is Eunmi’s favourite song too. My life is like a spider web. It gets hilarious.

Turning my head, I found a curious Sungmin. He was checking out the photos from the previous shot. I probably looked hideous, but hey ho right?

“Don’t you want to see the shots?” Sungmin asked, stepping from the computer monitor. I shook my head. “You don’t look bad. Come on.” I shook my head once more, refusing to look at the screen. “Your loss.”  He mumbled.

“Uh, Sungmin about the dating thing…”

“Oh, I know about you and Taemin. Just let me know, who broke it off?”

“I guess… it was me.”

“Good. That means I won’t have to castrate anyone.”

“Uh, I suppose so.” I felt my insides churn when he mentioned Taemin. “I’m going to the bathroom.” I quickly informed him, and sped out of the hot room, half slamming the door behind me. The corridor was a calming cool, a soft breeze coming from literally nowhere. I shrugged it off, and decided to hunt for the bathroom. I knew I had a high chance of getting lost, so I had my phone with me.

As I searched the floor, I was encountered with numerous of my friends, like Krystal, and Seohyun, who had told me about SNSD’s comeback. I heard about Sunny’s hair, and I loved the idea, it was too cute! With Seohyun’s help, I found the toilet, and I cleared my brain.

As I exited, I found myself walking in the opposite direction of a certain someone. He glared at me, and I just averted my gaze. I didn’t need him anymore. I was finally free of him.

For the first, time I found the room I planned on reaching and I entered with a wide grin, my grin was only to be removed by my bipolar friend Kim Eunmi.

She had come out of nowhere, and whispered that her brother was now off-limits once more. Questioning her why, she just tapped her nose. “Oh, for many many reasons. Like, I figured out that your brother has already threatened Hyunsu to an inch of his life.”

I sighed.

“You, my friend, are a bipolar .” I hissed.

“You love me for it. Oh, and I saw a hot guy o-“ Eunmi started to say, but I cut her off.

“You have a boyfriend.”

“Oh yes. And he is a very cute boyfriend.”

“Then, there should be no other guys in the world but him.”

“Fine.” Eunmi sighed. “Oh, what can I get you? Since I’m helping out here.”

“You help out at the SM building?”

“Yes, don’t be too surprised I have my ways.”

“Bipolar bear.” 

My brain is so fuzzled right now. Like all 'fzz fzz goodbye brain cells fzz'.

I'm kidding, I know that actual reactions that go on in the brains. You have these neurons, and they create connections that are called synapses, and those are what create actions. And your brain makes approximately over a billion connections in an hour. Which is really cool?

Oh gosh, anyway, I am sooo tired, and I have relatives over from the far land of the other side of the world. It sometimes to live all the way in the UK but at least you can order stuff from your relatives when they come over. Hee hee. xD

Fzz Fzzzz. Oh, and yeah. This chapter. Gosh. Filler I suppose. I don't even. Taemin. I just had these random Taemin feels and boom he was there. And now I had to fix it. He's gone now! At least, I hope so, unless I change my mind, which I probably won't. Lucky for you all.

It's only one in the morning, but I'm exhausted because I was working out... And I had to clear out my house for the family. Y'know, good impressions. 

Anyway, good night beautiful people. May the sparkles be with you :)
