- Final Day Studying Mid-Year Exam-

-Your Pov –

Today’s the final day of studying before the whole week next is the mid-year exam. For today we all decided that we would only study half of the day so the other we should relax…

‘STUDY COMPLETE! NOW LET’S GO TO THE SPA!’ Key exclaimed excited

‘YES! TO THE SPA!!!’ Jungah and Nana shouted happily

I smiled, seeing that everyone was excited and happy after mid-yearly studying was good to see.

‘Heheheheheh my babe’s hot body…heheheh’ Jonghyun muttered happily and creepily, with a erted face. ‘Heheheh It’ll be seen by me~ Heheheh’

Surely that was meant to be to himself…but everyone heard it…, which they gave him, a disgusted face, while Kahi marched up towards him and smacked him on the head.

‘YAH! Don’t voice out things like that!’ Kahi scolded

Jonghyun pouted ‘but it’s true…’ he said with a sadden look which instantly changed into a grin ‘ your beautiful body will be seen by the one and only Bling Bling!!!’

Kahi eyes twitched not liking how proud Jonghyun was in saying that, which earned him another smack on the head.

‘Well…I booked a mini bus for us, since waiting for a public bus would waste a lot of time.’ Minho said ‘ Everyone pack your things and meet up in front of the dorm.’

I headed to the front door, ready to leave when I felt a sudden ton of weight on my back…okay not a ton but heavy.

‘Yah! Get off me!’ I said annoyed ‘go pack your things!’

Taemin jumped off my back and grinned widely at me ‘My things are in your tree house’ he said ‘so let’s go together!~’

I groaned, I should of thrown his things out, but that was too late now. I grumpily went to my tree house with the Annoying Taemin following me.

‘Go get your things and get out.’ I stated

Taemin stared at me with a blank face

I raised a brow at him ‘Are you listening to me?’ i questioned

 Taemin seemed to have snapped back to reality, but he had a distant look in his eyes, that were not looking at me but the ground. He nod slowly and got his luggage which was in the living room. Now I was greatly confused…what the hell is wrong with him? He wasn’t sulking that’s for sure because he would of looked more pitiful and depressed. Taemin got his luggage carrying it out, but stopped at the doorway…

‘I-I’ll wait for you at the dorm’ he said and left

Now I was felt really weird out. What was wrong with him?

‘Maybe I should watch out for him more…’ I thought ‘and hopefully I’ll know what’s bothering him.’

I quickly packed my things and went to the dorm. There everyone was all set and ready…

‘Yah! Little Princess! Hurry up!’ L.joe shouted

I shook my head and chuckled, L.Joe was too overly excited. Everyone was already on the bus aside from Taemin, who was standing beside the bus entrance seemed to be waiting which caused me to smile…he was waiting for me.

I walked quickly and stopped in front of him ‘C’mon let’s get on’ I said

I was about to get on when a hand softy held on to mine, stopping me. I turned to face Taemin with a questioning look.

Taemin glaze however wasn’t looking at me, but instead was at the ground ‘C-Can I sit with you?” he asked

I gave Taemin a funny look, but nod ‘Yeah…’ I said

We both got on.

-L.Joe Pov –

Everyone was on the bus and were seated already, I was sitting in front of Key and Uee. In front of me were Byul and Taemin, though there was something strange about him…he was acting really weird and I could tell that Byul could see this too.

‘Aishi did something happened again?’ I thought annoyed

I guess I just have to wait until we’re at the spa, to see what’s the matter with him.

-Spa-

Everyone exit the bus with full of excitement…well Taemin was just happy. We entered the spa and was greeted by the owner

‘You’ve all just arrived on time’ the owner said smiling ‘now would the males please go through the left and females to the right’

‘WHOA! HOLD UP!’ Jonghyun suddenly shouted, causing everyone to stop and give him a questioning look. ‘you mean…for the whole day…we going to be separated?!’

Everyone rolled their eyes at him…aside from Taemin, who seemed to have the same thought as Jonghyun…

‘No .’ Jungah said sarcastically

Jonghyun had a look of horror on and instantly cling himself to Kahi. I kept my eyes on Taemin, the normal Taemin would be hugging or cling onto Byul and wouldn’t let her go just like how Jonghyun was…but he didn’t do that, instead he was holding onto the end of Byul’s shirt like a child not wanting their mother to leave them. I raised a brow…something is definitely off with him

‘NO!!! I AM AGAINST THIS!!!!’ Jonghyun shouted

‘YAH! What’s wrong with you?! Weren’t you very excited before?’ Onew questioned

Jonghyun pouted ‘that’s because I thought everyone was going to be TOGETHER!’ he said

‘Just let go and stop being stubborn’ Kahi said annoyed

Jonghyun pouted ‘But I wanted to be with you babe~’ he whined

Kahi rolled her eyes ‘It’s not going to be that long, plus I want some girl time…don’t you want some time with your ‘brothers’ too?’ she questioned

Jonghyun shake his head quickly ‘NO!’ he shouted

‘Aishi…force it is.’ Minho said

Minho and Onew went and prey Jonghyun off of Kahi, which she thanked them for and dragged him away. Taemin on the other hand was holding tightly on to Byul’s shirt

‘Yah! What are you doing?! Let go!’ Byul said

Taemin shook his head.

Byul gave him an annoyed look ‘Yah, let go and get lost!’ she stated irritated

Surprisingly Taemin loosen his grip on her shirt and nod slowly before going to where Jonghyun had being dragged to. I looked at the other guys mainly at Key, who also had notice what I have.

‘Did I do something again?’ I asked Key

Key shrugged his shoulder ‘honestly I have no idea. Unless he still feels jealous because you and Byul are close to each other due to studying…’ he said

I groaned ‘that passed long time and I thought they already made up for that’ I said annoyed

‘We’ll ask him later’ Key said

Here we go again…the story of Taemin’s unusual behavior…

-Your Pov-

The first session was a full body message to get ride of the tension in the body, after that was an hour of ballet lessons for reflexes, followed by a mud bath and now we are relaxing in the hot springs.

‘Ah~ this is the best’ Nana said feeling very happy and satisfied.

‘YAH WHAT THE F*** ARE YOU DOING?!’ Key’s voice was heard shouting

 ‘I JUST WANNA SAY HI TO MY BABE!!!!’ Jonghyun voice shouted

‘ERT SON OF A B**** IT’S NOT ONLY YOUR GIRLFRIEND THAT’S OVER THERE!’ Minho shouted

‘YAH! GET AWAY FROM THERE THIS INSTANT!’ Onew shouted ‘JUNGAH~ COVER UP! A ERT HAS GONE OUT OF CONTROL!’

I watched in amusement as my Unnis eyes twitched fuming with anger…mainly Kahi who discovered that it was HER boyfriend’s fault.

‘YAH! YOU DARE PECK OVER HERE AND IT’S OVER! YOU HEAR ME KIM JONGHYUN!’ Kahi shouted in anger

There was a long silence…

Jonghyun’s whimpering could be heard ‘Okay…’ he said, from his voice the girls could tell he was pouting.

‘Aishi…what was I thinking…when I took interest in him…’ Kahi muttered

I chuckled, I was very certain that everyone was wondering about the same thing as well.

‘Yah don’t laugh at your Unni Byul.’ Kahi said shooting me a joking glare, before she smirked ‘So how is it with Taemin?’

Hearing Kahi’s Question caught their attention.

‘Yeah! How is it, any improvement or development?’ Uee asked smiling

‘Well…his acting very weirdly recently…’ I said, thinking about today’s morning event.

‘how is he acting?’ Questioned Nana

I shrugged my shoulders ‘just not his usual self…’ I said ‘ I don’t really know actually. His not sulking that’s for sure.’

‘Did you say something that may of…offend him or hurt him…without knowing it?’ Jungah asked

I think for a while and shook my head ‘ not anything I could think of…’ I said ‘ I mean I do tell him to go away or say things on the line of annoying.’

‘You always do that though…’Kahi stated

I nod ‘exactly and it never affects him’ I said

‘Well I’m sure if Taemin is behaving weirdly Key and the guys would see it and solve the problem’ Uee said

they all nod agreeing with Uee

‘Yeah, so don’t think too much about it now. Just relax’ Nana said

I nod and listening to my Unnis.

‘But…it really could be my fault that Taemin is behaving like this. Aishi…what to I do then?’ I thought

-Taemin Pov –

I’ll just start by saying how disappointed I am…I mean I thought that this spa thing would be with everyone together…well this is how it turned out…me stuck with my Hyungs…not that it was a bad thing or anything. It’s just I was hoping to spend ‘relaxing’ time with Byul.

‘Yah Taemin, what’s been bugging ya?’ L.Joe asked

Ii looked at him and forced a smile ‘Nothing’s wrong. Why do you ask?’ I quested

Key raised a brow at me. ‘You can fake all you want Taemin, but you can never lie to me’ he said

I sometimes wonder…am I that easily read?

‘C’mon spill it’ Jonghyun said

I guess I could get some explaining and advices from them.

‘ I think Byul is starting to hate me…’ I said

There was silence…

‘What? Why would you think that?’ Minho asked

I looked down ‘well…this morning Byul said ‘Go get your things and get out.’ And then before she told me ‘let go and get lost’…’ I explained

Another long silence.

‘Are you F***ing kidding me…’ Jonghyun said

I looked up at them and they had a face, which said ‘Are you for real’.

‘Taemin…she always says things along those lines and it never once ever bothered you before so why now?’ Key stated

‘ really?’ I questioned

I never really noticed before…but in a sense it was true, Byul had always say things like that…so why was I so bothered by them now?

‘no .’ Jonghyun said rolling his eyes

‘So why am I bothered by it now?’ I asked confused

-Key Pov-

It was really strange really, that Taemin would be feeling like this all of a sudden.

‘Is that why you even asked Byul if you could sit next to her?’ L.Joe questioned

Taemin nod ‘ I thought that she was angry at me…and if I just drag her or force her to sit next to me. She would hate me more.’ He answered

I gave the guys a look, which they smiled in understanding

‘Taemin, if Byul was to say don’t talk to her…what would you do?’ Onew questioned

‘I’ll keep quiet’ Taemin answered

‘What would you think if she said that to you?’ Minho questioned

‘She’s annoyed and it fed up with hearing me’ Taemin answered

‘What if she tells you to get something for her. What would you do, think and feel?’ Onew asked another question

‘I’ll get it for her immediately. I would think that she is relying on me…so I would be happy.’ Taemin answered with a small smile

The guys and I looked at each other and grinned.

‘Taeminnie-Ah. Basically your feeling anxious and fear that Byul is disliking or losing interest in you.’ I said smiling ‘So that’s probably why you get bothered easily now with everything Byul normally says’

Everyone nodded

‘Key’s right. It’s probably because after Byul confessed to you, you start to worry about the smallest things that she says or does.’ Jonghyun said nodding ‘Even I feel that way sometimes, but then if I think about…it’s only because I really want Kahi to always love me and never lose interest in me.’

‘So…I’m feeling this way because I don’t want Byul to stop loving and lose interest in me?’ Taemin asked

‘Well it depends…for me I feel that way.’ Jonghyun said

Everyone nod again.

‘For me it’ll probably be…i don’t want Nana to ever leave me or lose her love for me’ Minho said

‘Same as Minho’ Onew said nodding

Taemin then looked at L.Joe to hear about his.

L.Joe gave Taemin a funny look ‘I’ve never being in a relationship…but I guess I was…It’ll be the same as Jonghyun’ he answered

‘What about you Hyung?’ Taemin asked me

‘well…I guess I always want Uee to only think of me and only me, she should only love me and stay by me.’ I answered

Taemin nod in Understanding ‘Then why would I feel like this?’ he questioned

‘That’s only for you to know and find out on your own, Taemin.’ Onew said ‘But the main thing is, you should get too caught up and worry too much about it, because then it would seriously worry your other partner…’

Everyone nod again

‘Yeah, it really does. And I think because of how your acting today…Byul is worried. It’s most likely that she is blaming herself for your odd behavior.’ Minho said

I could see that in Taemin’s eyes he was worried…hahaha this is really cute of him. I have a proud feeling that Taemin is starting to return Byul’s feelings…after all we never discuss something like this that involves that B**** Boa.

-Your Pov-

We were really enjoying our relaxing time, and I found it good to have our ‘girl’ time with each other, since normally their boyfriends often cling to them…Like Jonghyun…and in my case Taemin is always bugging me.

‘I’m curious about something’ Uee said

We all looked at her

‘Curious about what Uee?’ Kahi questioned

Uee smiled ‘How long had Nana and Jungah Unni have been together with Onew and Minho Oppa?’ she asked

‘That’s a good question’ Kahi said nodding, also curious ‘how long?’

Nana smiled and chuckled ‘Well, we actually knew each other for a long time before we were together. I think it was in middle school that we became friends and then in High School we started dating.’ She said ‘ So it’s about 4 years.’

I was very amused and impressed, 4 years…that’s a long time.

‘Whoa 4 years?!’ Uee exclaimed

Nana nod proudly ‘Yep. But you shouldn’t be surprised, Jungah and Onew relationship is way longer then mine’ she said

Hearing this caused me, Uee and Kahi to turn facing at Jungah.

Jungah laughed and nod ‘Yeah, that’s true. I have been with Onew for 7 years.’ She said

Me, Uee and Kahi gasped

‘7 YEARS?!!’ We exclaimed

‘I’m surprised you both aren’t married then..’ Kahi said

Jungah only laughed at us.

‘how did you meet Onew Oppa?’ I asked

Jungah smiled ‘well… my parents and his are actually really close friends, and just so it happens they decided to have an arranged marriage for Me and Onew’ she said

I was speechless…

‘ARRANGE MARRIAGE?!’ Uee exclaimed surprised ‘s-so you both are married?’

Jungah shook her head ‘Nope. Back then I was 16 and he was like what? 12? We both were against with that idea, since I wasn’t interested and Onew wanted to be able to find someone he loved.’ She said ‘so our parents cancelled the idea of marriage’

Nana smiled ‘then somehow along the lines, they became friends and then started dating.’ She continued.

Jungah nod and chuckled ‘our parents are very damn happy about it.’ She said

‘Wow, that’s amazing…’ Uee said amazed

‘Now that makes me wonder if my parents would like Jonghyun or not…’ Kahi said

Uee Nod in agreement ‘I’m really worried…after all I’m not a princess or in high class…’ Uee said looking a little down.

‘Don’t worry about that. I’ve seen Key’s family before and trust me their not like Key with all the class and rank kind of thing.’ Nana said encouragingly

Jungah nod ‘Yeah that’s right. And Jonghyun…he maybe a playboy and a ert…but his a really good boy. Your parents would love him.’ She added

‘Well..i wouldn’t mind if my parents chops his balls off for being such a damn ert.’ Kahi said in a suggested tone

We all laughed

‘hahaha poor guy. He even asked the fortuneteller if his going to have more then 4 kids or not’ Nana said

‘HE DID WHAT?!’ Kahi shouted in shock

-After Spa-

-Taemin Pov-

Me and the guys were waiting outside the spa, for the girls to come out, when they did… Jonghyun Hyung instantly ran to Kahi Noona and hugged her tightly but before he could, she smacked him on the head.

‘YAH! YOUR BAN FROM SKIN SHIP!’ Kahi shouted at Jonghyun

Jonghyun gasped ‘W-WHY?!’ he exclaimed

‘Don’t pretend or even THINK! That you can get away with that erted mind of yours!’ Kahi scolded

Jonghyun pouted ‘aww but Babe~’ he whine

Kahi ignored his whining ‘Your ban for 2 weeks! And I’m not changing my mind!’ she said

‘phahahaha serves you right Dino Head’ Key laughed earning a glare from Jonghyun.

I saw Byul and happily ran to her, tackling her into a hug.

‘How was it Byul-a-na milk?’ I asked smiling

Byul looked at me surprised but then she also smiled and nod, meaning it was good.

‘Glad to see that your not acting weird anymore, Dogface’ she said

I smiled, so she was worried about me just as the guys had said.

‘Sorry for worrying you. Taeminnie was just not feeling well for that moment’ I said

Byul nod, before giving me an annoyed look ‘Now let go of me, your hug is killing me.’ She said

I pouted but let go as she had told me. The mini bus arrived and we all got on, I was happily taking my seat next to Byul.

-During Bus Trip Back-

Everyone was dozing off, while it was only me and Byul who were normal.

‘Byul-a-na Milk’ I called

‘Hmmm?’ She responded without looking at me

There was a very bothering question that I have been kept in my mind.

‘Erm…’ I said unsure of how to ask it.

Byul turned to face me. ‘What is it?’ she asked

I rubbed the back of my neck…not sure of how to ask ‘that’ question.

‘erm...um…I-in t-the hot spring…i-i----‘ ‘ Yah, if what ever your going to say is really making you nerve wrecking then, wait until your confident to say it.’ Byul said annoyed, stopping me from my stuttering.

I chuckled and this time with more confidence…

‘Byul-a-na Milk are you getting married?’ I asked

Byul looked at me and blinked a couple of times with a confused look.

‘What?’ she questioned

‘Are you in an arranged marriage?’ I questioned again

Byul gave me a funny look ‘where in the world did you get that from?’ she questioned

-Flash Back-

Me and Hyungs were just talking about random things when…

‘ARRANGE MARRIAGE?!’ we heard Uee Noona shouted

We looked at each other.

‘Is someone getting married?’ Key asked confused, looking at us. ‘Cause I am heck sure that I aren’t and I know that Uee isn’t…’

‘It’s not me and Jungah as well…since I wasn’t informed and practically both of our parents are happy with our relationship’ Onew said

I looked at Minho

Minho shook his head ‘it’s not me or Nana, both of our parents know that we are together and approves of it.’ He said

‘Hell don’t even look at me’ L.joe said ‘ I’m not getting married anytime soon.’

They all then looked at me

I held both of my hands up ‘Taeminnie is not getting married, my parents didn’t say anything about it…’ I said

Jonghyun nod ‘me as well…’

 ‘then does that mean it’s a possibility that it’s Kahi or Byul that’s getting married?’ L.Joe wondered out loud

Me and Jonghyun froze and our faces turned white.

‘No! Hell no! There’s no way that Kahi would be in an arrange marriage, if she’s with me!’ Jonghyun said confidently but also was a little worried

‘Well that’s true…Kahi is the type to be able to reject things like that…’ Key said nodding

Which that then leaves Byul…I was not happy about it.

I shook my head denying it ‘Byul-a-na Milk IS NOT getting married!’ I said

They all raised a brow at me.

‘And how can you be so sure?’ Jonghyun questioned

Minho nod ‘It would make perfect sense that Byul would be in an arrange marriage since she’s single and is a princess.’ He reasoned

There was a heavy and burning feeling in my chest…a feeling which I didn’t like.

I shook my head stubbornly rejecting the idea of Byul in an arrange marriage.

‘She likes me! So she wouldn’t get married!’ I said

‘Yeah, well she likes you but your both not together. That means she’s still a free and single princess that’s on top of the standby marriage list’ Key said

That got me to shut up.

-End Flashback-

Byul looked at me amused before she started to laugh…I frowned and pouted

‘Yah I’m asking a serious question!’ I said

Byul’s laugh died down but she had an amazed smile ‘ Ani. I’m not getting married or in an arranged marriage’ she said ‘Jungah was telling us of how she and Onew meet each other and it was through an arranged marriage.’

Hearing this I let our a sigh of relief and was smiling widely

‘After the exam, let’s go and get ice cream at the mall.’ I suggested

Byul’s smile dropped and had a blank face on.‘From what I’ve experience last time going out with you…I’m not an idiot to relive that moment’ She said sternly

I pouted ‘but that happened long time ago! I apologized and brought you a present!’ I whined

Byul looked away ‘anyways. No, I am not going out with you ever again.’ She said, turning back to look outside the window

I felt a little sad by what she had said, but I wasn’t going to give up anytime soon.

‘Please~ Byul-a-na milk! Taeminnie promise he won’t leave you alone this time! Taeminnie be right next to you the WHOLE time!’ I pleaded to her, while shaking her arm.

‘Please Byul-a-na Milk~’

‘ Give Taeminnie one more chance! Please~’

‘Taeminnie will follow everywhere Byul-a-na milk go!’

‘Pleassssssssse~ Don’t you want to spend alone time with Taeminnie? The one you love~’

 ‘Aishi! Why are you always using that against me!’ Byul said annoyed, looking at me ‘Fine, I’ll give you another chance’

I smiled brightly and pulled her in a hug ‘Yay~ Thank You Byul-a-na Milk!’ I said very happy

‘On one condition though.’ Byul suddenly said

I stopped hugging her and looked at her, to hear her condition

‘You have to get over 80 for all of your subjects.’ She said

My mouth dropped ‘B-But…Taeminnie didn’t study that much!’ I said

Byul rolled her eyes ‘well you should of!’ she retorted

I pouted, it was really unfair! ‘Can’t it be above 50?’ I requested

Byul gave me a look which said ‘are you an idiot!’

‘No. Above 80. I’m not changing my mind.’ She said

‘B-but I can’t!’ I whined

‘Take it like a man.’ she said

My head lowered feeling gloomily but nevertheless I nodded ‘okay.’ I said

-Your Pov –

I was happy that Taemin had asked me to hang out with him after the exam, but I won’t let him get his way that easily spectrally when he didn’t even tried to study for most of the days. So I gave him a condition, which he had to gave marks over 80 for every subject, if he wants me to go with him. I was probably being a little too mean but it’s for his own good, after all his education is important. But I did feel a little bad, especially when his looking so gloomy right now. I let out a sigh and raffled his hair.

‘Yah, don’t look too down. You’ll be able to get it’ I encouraged him ‘If you try hard enough. You’ll get it’

He looked up at me ‘you think so?’ he asked

I smiled and nod ‘yeah. I know so’ I assured.

Taemin smiled brightly ‘Then we go and eat Ice cream together~’ he sung happily

I chuckled ‘your treat though’ I said

Taemin grinned and nod ‘Neh’ he said
