-Your Pov-

It was a free day whole day today, so it was only natural that the others all went out. Taemin and Boa must be out on another date. I chose to stay back since I wasn’t feeling like going anywhere, so here I am in my hideout place. It seems like I’ve been coming here more often then I use to…that started ever since Taemin and Boa are together. Coming to this place it calmed, relaxed and gave me time to think. Almost like a rehab pace to restore my emotional issues.

I lay there on the couch just relaxing, when I heard creaking sounds of leaves and barks being stepped on outside. I sat up and looked around, it was a good thing that the walls were made of glass, so I could see clearly of the surroundings outside,…and there…there stood a guy staring back at me outside with a surprised expression. I stood up and went to the door, walking out to where the guy stood.

‘Umm are you lost by chance?’ I asked the guy

The guy had a scared look for a moment ‘Your not a fan girl right?’ he asked

I tried hard to not roll my eyes...what was with him. His question reminded me of someone…

‘No. No I am not.’ I stated

The guy didn’t seem to believe me for a second, but I guess he let it pass because he continued to eye my hideout.

 ‘Where is this place?’ he asked in awe ‘I’ve never seen it before’

I smiled ‘my hideout, it’s new. So I’ll appreciate it if you don’t tell anyone about it.’ I said ‘So are you lost?’

The guy nod again ‘yeah. It’s seems so. Hahaha silly isn’t it? I’ve only left for a year and came back, only to get lost’ he said rubbing his neck feeling embarrassed

I chuckled at the guy, he was rather adorable, reminds me of Taemin.

‘I’ll help you find your place, so where are you heading to?’ I asked

‘Royal Dorms’ he said

I looked at him surprised for a moment.

‘You’re a royal?’ I questioned

He blinked a couple times at me ‘you don’t know me?’ he asked surprised

I gave him a funny look ‘why would I know you when I only just meet you.’ I stated ‘I just started in this academy this year…’

The guy nod ‘ah that explains why. Well I’ll introduce myself then…Hi~ I’m Lee Chan Hee’ he introduced smiling ‘but call me Chunji. And I’m a royal’

I smiled ‘Name’s Noon Ki Byul, but please call me Byul. Also A royal’ I introduced

Chunji looked shocked hearing I was a royal ‘What?! You’re a Royal too?! Daebak!’ he exclaimed

‘C’mon I’ll show you the way’ I said.

-Royal Dorm-

‘Did I just see a tree house…’ Chunji said

I nod ‘yes. Yes you did. That’s my place I’m staying at.’ I said.

Chunji gave me another surprised look ‘That’s AWESOME!’ he shouted ‘I want a tree house too!’

I laughed at him…he was the type to be very easily amused, just like Taemin. It’s amazing how someone could have a similar personality like him.

‘Since you said you’ve came back after a year I’m assuming you know the other royals right?’ I said

Chunji nod grinning ‘Heck Yeah. Taemin is my Cousin.’ He said

No wonder they were sort of a like.

My mouth dropped opened ‘Your being serious right?’ I questioned surprised

Chunji smirked ‘I know, I’m more better looking then him’ he said

There was really something with Royals and their ego. We entered the dorm.

‘So where’s everyone?’ He asked

‘Their all out, it’s a free day after all ‘ I said

‘How come your not with them then?’ he asked

I shrugged my shoulders ‘I wanted to relax.’ I said

Chunji nod in understanding. ‘I think I get what you mean, quite hard when you have Key Hyung being all Diva dramatic and Jonghyun Hyung talking none stop of how good looking he is.’ He said

I laughed, Chunji is a fun guy, very easy going and easy to talk to. We both talked longer to get to know each other more, till the others came back.

‘Jonghyun your banned from taking me out anywhere for 3 weeks!’ I heard Kahi’s scolding voice

Chunji looked at me confused ‘who’s that?’ he asked

‘B-But Babe~~~’ we both heard Jonghyun whined.

Before I could answer his question the others had came into the living room and they all were speechless…besides Kahi and Uee who were confused at why they speechless…and I wasn’t sure why L.Joe was apart of the shock.

‘C-CHUNJI?!!!!’The royals all shouted

Chunji grinned and waved ‘Hey guys. I’m back.’’ He said

Chunji was next to be tackled in a bear hug by the royals

‘Why didn’t you tell us you were coming back today?!!!’ Nana said

‘Yeah! WE could of held a welcome back party!’ Onew added

Chunji chuckled ‘we can still head out to eat.’ He said

I stood up and made my way to stand beside Kahi, Uee and L.Joe.

‘Yah…L.Joe Oppa. Are you alright?’ I asked looking at the still frozen L.Joe

‘What’s with him…he was fine just a moment ago’ Kahi said

The hug ended and Chunji looked at Kahi, Uee and L.joe. ‘So who are you guys?’ he asked

Key grinned and made his way to Uee and Jonghyun did the same but to Kahi.

‘Chunji let me introduce to you…My Girlfriend, Uee. Uee this guy here is Chunji a royal.’ Key said

Chunji looked shocked at Key ‘YOU HAVE A GIRLFRIEND?!’ he exclaimed shocked

Key smirked proudly ‘Yep.’ He said

‘She’s a very pretty Noona….poor her to have to deal with the Diva you.’ Chunji joked smirking

Key blew fumes ‘YAH!’ he shouted

Uee chuckled ‘My real name is Kim Yoojin, but please call me Uee’ Uee said

‘Nice to meet you. I’m  Park JI Young. But please call me Kahi.’ Kahi introduced

Jonghyun grin ‘AND SHE’S MY GIRLFRIEND.’ He shouted proudly

Chunji gave a blank look at Jonghyun as if hearing Jonghyun having a girlfriend is something he hears everyday.

‘Dude She’s not another play thing is she?’ Chunji questioned ‘Cause she’s seems too good for you.’

Jonghyun gapped at Chunji ‘THAT ME IS LONG GONE!’ He shouted

‘If he dares to dump me…he can say good bye to his future babies.’ Kahi said

Chunji laughed ‘hahaha we’ll get along just fine.’ He said grinning

Chunji then turned and looked at L.Joe. ‘And you are?’ he asked

L.Joe reminded silent which made everyone in the room look at him weirdly. I looked at L.joe feeling a little worried…

‘is his feeling sick?.’ I thought.

However that thought was gone, when I saw L.joe’s cheeks turned red

‘Is he blushing?’ I thought

‘Yah! L.Joe! YO Dude? Your alive right?’ Jonghyun said waving his hand in front of L.Joe.

L.Joe snapped out of his daze and walked up confidently to Chunji, everyone in the room watched his every action closely.

‘I’m L.Joe. Your now, Boyfriend.’ L.Joe stated

Silence….

‘WHAT THE F***?!’ Everyone in the room shouted

Chunji was speechless of what he had just heard for a moment before letting out a chuckle ‘Your funny Dude’ he said

L.Joe gave Chunji a serious look ‘I’m serious. Your now my boyfriend.’ He stated

‘OH MY GOD!’ Jonghyun and Key exclaimed

I chuckled ‘Love at first sight?’ I commented

Kahi, Uee, Nana and Jungah nodded ‘Must be.’ They said

Uee smiled ‘So a new love line huh? Hahaha their going to be so cute!’ she said

‘Yah! Aren’t you accepting this too easily?’ Key said looking at Uee in horror

The girls shrugged their shoulders ‘L.Joe’s cool and Chunji’s cute. So why not?’ Nana and Jungah said

‘YAH! GET AWAY FROM ME!’ Chunji shouted as he was been the victim of getting hugged by L.Joe.

‘Aww Babe. Let me hug you~’ L.Joe said grinning

Chunji ran away from L.Joe and Hid behind Onew and Minho.  ‘What the F*** Man!’ he said horrified

‘Oh...Chunji…you may not like to hear this…but you have to.’ Onew said

Minho nod ‘L.joe’s…Gay.’ he finished

Chunji gasped in shock looking at Minho and Onew ‘Your joking with me right, Hyungs?’ he questioned, hoping it’s a joke.

Onew shook his head ‘we’re dead serious.’ He said

Minho smirked ‘It seems like L.Joe has already falling in love with you. Chunji.’ He teased

L.Joe smiled and made his way towards Chunji ‘Babe~ let’s go on our first date!’ he said happily

Chunji had a look of Horror on ‘ I NEVER ACCPTED YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE SO DON’T DECIDE ON YOUR OWN!!!’he shouted ‘AND DON’T CALL ME BABE! !’

L.Joe smirked ‘Aww his so cute when his angry.’ He said, before looking seductively at Chunji ‘Your with your hotness, Babe.’

Chunji looked like he was scared out of his wits while the girls and me were watching with interest and amusement…and the guys…they were quite disturbed.

‘L.Joe, what did I say about your gay talks!’ Minho scolded

L.joe rolled his eyes ‘what am I suppose to do? My Babe is being so cute right now.’ He said

‘Please! you two just get a room’ Key said crossing his arms

L.joe grinned ‘Gladly!’ he said happily

Chunji shook his head furiously ‘YAH DON’T COME NEAR ME!’ he shouted at L.Joe ‘HYUNG! NOONAS DON’T LET HIM TAKE ME!!!’

‘It seems everyday is getting more interesting.’ Kahi said

‘mmhm’ the girls all agreed

‘Yah L.joe, I know you love him and all…but please give him a time out, your scaring the poor boy.’ Onew said

L.joe pouted but never the less nod and stopped approaching Chunji. ‘Fine. That’s all for now.’ He said

Chunji let out a relieved sigh. ‘So where’s Taemin? I’m not seeing him here with you guys.’ He said

From Chunji’s question everyone’s smiled dropped

-Chunji Pov-

‘Your going to be hearing bad news…Chunji’ Onew said

I gave him a questioning look ‘what? Why? Taemin didn’t die did he?’ i questioned

Key rolled his eyes ‘if that was the case, we would be mopping on the ground in tears.’ He joked

‘So what is it?’ i questioned

‘Taemin…Taemin is together with the B****’ Minho said

I raised a brow ‘isn’t he always.’ i stated

Nana shook her head ‘What He means is…Taemin and that B**** are now in a relationship.’ She said

My mouth dropped open ‘Are you F***ing with me right now?’ i questioned shocked

There’s no way am I going to believe this .

‘We’re not joking Chunji. We’re dead serious.’ Onew said ‘they’ve been together for more then 2 weeks now.’

I didn’t know it, but my body was burning in anger.

 ‘Where the F*** is he now? His not on a date with her is he!’ i said sternly

‘There is no other reason why his not here.’ Minho stated calmly

‘Look Chunji, you gotta calm down man.’ Jonghyun said

‘CALM DOWN?! MY F***ING COUSIN IS WITH SOME B**** THAT DOESN’T GIVE A OF HIM. SHE’S USING HIM! AND YOUR TELLING ME TO CALM DOWN?!’ I shouted in rage.

How could they expect me to? Taemin is family to me. His practically in the clutches of a demon B****who’s going to use him and hurt him in the end.

‘Chunji we feel the same way. But you know you can’t do anything about it. You know as much as we do that we’ve been always warning him, but it’s always going to be the same.’ Onew said

‘That idiot! Why can’t he come to his senses!’ I said frustrated

‘His too blinded, like we’ve all being saying.’ Key said

Jonghyun nod agreeing with Key ‘it’s not like that’s something new.’ He added

‘But really Chunji. I think this time…this is the time we should just let Taemin do what ever he wants.’ Nana said

I gave her a questioning look ‘what do you mean?’ i asked

‘Let him learn from his own mistakes. We’ve always being warning him but his too stubborn to listen to us. Not to mention that his too dense to even see what Boa is like. Just let him be with her as he pleases and let him learn for himself what’s his losses are.’ Nana explained ‘If things turn out bad, he’ll just have to face it and learn from it.’

I looked down at the ground ‘Letting Taemin get hurt? I don’t think I could do that. I can’t watch him getting himself hurt and do nothing about it.’ i said honestly

I could understand both Nana’s reasons. It was true as Nana said, Taemin is stubborn, his views of things are just the things he wants to see…they are one-sided. He’ll have to experience things himself so he can learn from it. But at the same time I don’t… think I would even have the will, to just sit and watch Taemin getting hurt without doing anything about it.

‘Unless…unless it’s possible that Boa could change for Taemin.’ Byul suddenly said

Everyone in the room including me gave her a look. She clearly doesn’t know Boa like we do…

‘Byul…do you honestly think someone like Boa would change?’ Key questioned her ‘that B**** is not going to change, since in that 2 years that she had known Taemin…I swear and promise to you right now…nothing of hers had ever changed.’

‘It could turn out differently.’ Byul said ‘You and Jonghyun had change hadn’t you? It’s a possible chance that Boa could change for Taemin’s sake…now that their together.’

I eyed her, not liking the fact that she was backing up for Boa ‘Why are you reasoning for that B****?’ I asked her sternly

‘I’m not on her side if that’s what your implying.’ Byul stated ‘I’m just stating my perspective of a possible fact.’

‘Byul-ah…I know that your being fair and all…but really…don’t have or even put your hopes on that B****’ Jungah said ‘it’s not worth it because I know you have doubts in our own words. Your just saying that, in hope that Taemin could be happy with the one that his with.’

Nana nodded ‘Jungah’s right. Byul, Taemin’s going to get hurt, his going to keep getting hurt over and over again as long as his with her.’ she said ‘we can’t do anything about it, but you can.’

I was confused ‘what do you mean by that? How could Byul be of help? No offense.’ i said looking at Byul

‘None taken’ She said causally.

 ‘Because Taemin had actually considered her feelings.’ Nana said

i gave Byul another look ‘Hold up. You like Taemin?!’ i exclaimed surprised

Byul nodded ‘Somewhat like that.’ She said

‘You confessed to him?!” I questioned

Byul nod again ‘it was more of an accident though…’ She said.

Seemed like I’ve been missing out a lot…

‘You should of seen how much skin-ship they had, Taemin practically is the one to start them.’ Jonghyun said smiling ‘the regular clinging on to her arm, hugs and even kisses now…well use to’

My eyes widened…’was I hearing Jonghyun right? Did he just mention Taemin and Skin-ship in the same sentence?! Taemin is the one that starts them?! Clinging?! Hugging?! EVEN KISSING?!’ I mentally screamed

‘Shocking isn’t it?’ Minho stated ‘but it really happened.’

No words came out of my mouth, I was gaping like an idiot. Taemin never in his life could possible be that close to a female…beside his family of course. I mean sure his close with Nana and Jungah but never had he even hugged them or much less really talk to them that much. Boa…well should she even be mentioned? So it was natural that I would be shocked to hear that Taemin was physically and emotionally close to a girl…

‘WAIT! KISS?!’ I shouted

Key rolled his eyes ‘just a Bboe on the cheeks. No need to freak out’ he said coolly

I turned and stared at Byul in shock ‘IS THIS FOR REAL?!’ I exclaimed

‘You really missed out a whole bunch of ’ Jonghyun said ‘which we don’t mind updating you about. But its really a damn long story.’

I shrugged my shoulders ‘there’s a lot of time in the world.’ I said.

-Key Pov-

‘Well you guys do that, I’m going to make dinner’ I said standing up.

‘I’ll lend you a hand’ Byul said also standing up.

I smiled and nod.

-While Cooking-

Me and Byul were both cooking in silence, a comfortable one. But I decided to break it.

‘So how are you coping with everything?’ I asked her

I knew that ever since Taemin and Boa had been together, she’s been having a hard time. I’ve heard many stories from L.joe of Taemin’s new habit of ditching Byul, which angers me to no ends and the fact that he doesn’t use to brain to think of what he should say when his around her. Carelessly he would always talk about Boa and things they’ve done together to her, and many times Byul would have to be the one to it up and listen to him.

‘Well I’m not going to commit suicide so there’s no need to worry’ Byul joked

I chuckled ‘Seriously though? How are you coping with it?’ I asked

Recently Byul had always being going where on her own and no one knows of her where about, It really worries everyone.

‘Surprisingly well.’ She said truthfully ’Must be because I’ve gotten use to most of it.’

Byul’s a strong girl, not just physically but also her mental state, one thing I really admired her about.

‘I Know I probably sound like a broken record player or like a nagging mother but…really you have us if you ever want to let things off your chest.’ I said

Byul nod and gave me a sincere smile ‘I know. I know I have the best Oppas and Unnis in the world, who willing to listen to my sob stories 24/7 if they have to.’ She said ‘So I’m really sorry if I had been worrying you guys.’

I smiled and nod ‘As long as in the end your fine, then we’re happy.’ I said

We both went back to cooking in silence…

‘ARE YOU F***ING WITH ME?! THAT IDIOT F***ING COUSIN OF MINE DID THAT?!’ We could hear Chunji shouts in the living room from the kitchen ‘ THAT USELESS BRAINLESS BASTARD! DOESN’T HE KNOW HOW TO USE HIS BRAIN JUST FOR ONCE IN HIS ENTIRE LIFETIME?!’

Both Me and Byul looked at each other

I laughed ‘ guess that means Chunji has heard the whole story his been missing.’ I said

‘That’s quite an reaction…’ Byul commented

The next thing we knew, Chunji appeared in the kitchen with the rest of the others behind him.

‘Byul!’ Chunji called

Byul gave him a questioning look ‘yeah?’ she questioned

‘You can just forget about that useless idiot cousin of mine and date me instead!’ he announced

Byul stared blankly at Chunji for a moment…as if thinking that Chunji must of gone crazy and all. While as me and the others face palmed Chunji was over reacting a little too much.

‘Yah! How could you say something like that when you already have me!’ L.joe exclaimed pouting.

‘SHUT UP YOU!’ Chunji shouted at L.joe and looked at Byul ‘Let’s date!’

L.Joe gasped before giving Byul a frown ‘I can’t believe your going to be my love rival!’ he said

Byul blinked a couple of times ‘why the heck would I want to be in another problematic situation of another relationship? L.Joe Oppa if you like him, you can have him. I’m not against it or even want to be in the situation.’ She said causally ‘Seriously though Chunji, we just met and your really already going to use me to get L.Joe Oppa off of your back? That’s quite sad don’t you think?’

Chunji was gapping at her, while everyone was laughing on the floor. L.Joe ran and gave Byul a hug.

‘You’re the best friend ever!’ L.joe shouted happily.

‘I’m Back~!’ everyone heard a voice sang…

-Taemin Pov-

After walking Boa back to her dorm from our date, I headed back to the royal dorm.

‘I’m Back~!’ I sang happily, entering the dorm.

I saw the others coming out of the kitchen, must have been preparing dinner. But I froze in place, when I saw a face I haven’t seen in a long time with the group.

‘C-Chunji?’ I stuttered surprised

Chunji walked towards me and gave me a hug ‘Long time no see Cousin.’ He said smiling

I broke out of my surprised state and return the hug ‘Welcome back!’ I said cheerfully but then pouted ‘how come you didn’t call me to say your coming back?!’

Chunji chuckled ‘I wanted to surprise everyone’ he said

‘You sure did a great job of it.’ Key said

‘So how’s your date?’ Chunji questioned me

I grinned ‘It was GRE---‘ I didn’t finish my sentence as I realized what Chunji had just asked me.

‘WAIT?! He knows about it?! How did he know of it? The others must of told him!’ I thought in panic.

The reason for me panic…is the fact that I knew Chunji didn’t like Boa, not one bit and I don’t understand why. He always disapproves and tells me to find someone else to like. So for him to know that I was out on a date with Boa…he must of known that Boa and I are together now. Which isn’t good…

I hesitated to answer him or even to look at him in the eye

‘Hey don’t be so tense. I don’t really care if your dating her or not.’ Chunji suddenly said which made me looked at him in shock

‘W-What?’ I stuttered ‘you really mean it?’

Chunji nod ‘yeah. I don’t care just as long as you look out for yourself then I’m fine with it.’ He said

I smiled and gave him another hug ‘Thanks Hyung!’ I said happily. ‘so when did you get here?’

Chunji smiled ‘just this morning. I got lost and was found by Byul’ he said

I turned to look at Byul ‘Really?’ I questioned

Byul and Chunji nodded ‘Yeah, I happened to have found her secret place.’ Chunji said

As those words flew out of Chunji’s mouth, he received a smack on the head from Byul

‘YAH! You promised to not say that out! Byul scolded

Did I hear it right? Chunji had found Byul’s secret hideout? The one that she had took me to before?

‘WHAT SECRET HIDEOUT?!’ The others all shouted

Byul gave Chunji a death glare ‘If a word of the hideout comes out of your mouth, I’ll personally rip your throat out and drown you in the ocean’ she threatened.

Chunji swallowed hard and nod his head quickly ‘Sorry guys but that’s a secret between me and Byul’ he said

‘WHAT?! BYUL~ I’M YOUR UNNI!!! YOU MUST TELL ME!!!’ Nana exclaimed

Byul chuckled and shook her head ‘Sorry Unnis and Oppas but this I can’t say. Chunji only found it by accident and he squares not to set foot on it again’ she said

Chunji pouted ‘I never say anything like that!’ he said ‘I’ll visit you sometimes there.’

Byul shot Chunji another warning glare

‘Okay okay it’s a secret between us.’ He surrendered ‘and I won’t set foot in it.’

Secret? Secret between Chunji and Byul? I didn’t like the sound of it. I pouted and stood in front of Byul

‘Byul-a-na Milk~ Tell Taeminnie the secret!’ I said

Byul gave me a funny look. ‘No, and you can’t make me. So leave it.’ She said

I pouted ‘But you only knew Chunji Hyung just today! How can he get to know and not me?!’ I whined

‘Like I said. It was an accident.’ Byul stated

I frowned not liking the feeling that Byul and my cousin who just had came back from America after a year, had already suddenly getting so close with each other that they had a secret. I ever even have been told a secret by Byul…so I couldn’t help but to feel annoyed that Chunji did.

‘Fine be that way!’ I said pouting.

‘Jeez Grow up Taemin.’ Chunji said rolling his eyes

‘Well, Dinner is done, so let’s eat’ Key said changing the subject and headed back intot he kitchen.

Everyone happily followed Key, guess they were hungry.

‘I call sitting next to Byul!’ Chunji announced, racing in to the dining room

I frowned slightly…was it bad of me…to had wish that maybe Chunji shouldn’t have came back just yet?
