"Oh cool! My schedule doesn't look too busy this month!"

"Mine too!"

"Let me see yours." "That's interesting. We have the same block of time off." All the guys put their schedules next to each others'. "We all have that time off."

"Hmm...Suspicious..."

"Well, whatever. Extra time off means extra time back at that mansion!" Jonghyun cheered. "Come on! Let's go back to the dorm, grab our things and head out!"

The five entertainers bundled up in their hoodies and light down jackets and vests to prepare themselves for the cold. Luckily their van was right outside the KBS building so they wouldn't have to trudge through the winter air for too long.

They all immediately noted the camera crew that seemed particularly interested in them but greeted them politely nevertheless. When the cameras stayed on them and their van drove away without the SHINee boys, they all realized that their perceived extra freedom for the month had evaporated.

"HELLO BABY!" Jonhyun shouted as he passed through the doorway into the foyer. "That was just the first day of filming and I'm already exhausted!" Out of nowhere he pulled out a photo of their resident human and sadly said, "Goodbye baby...," while the picture, he bid farewell to all the hours he could be spending with her.

"Don't steal my stuff Jonghyun!" Key snatched the wallet size picture away from his hyung and stuck it into a mirror for safe keeping.

"I'll go see if she's hungry," Minho announced as he made his way to her room. It was pretty late in the evening so any normal person would be in her room preparing for bed.

"20000 won says she's in the library!" Taemin challenged as he went in the opposite direction.

Minho didn't want to lose so he wisely followed the maknae who had caught the fresh scent of the woman.

Taemin calmed himself outside the door before knocking and entering. They had finally learned that barging in and surprising her did not earn her favor. She nodded at them in aknowledgement of their greetings before turning a page of some book.

"Jinki-hyung brought chicken so if you're hungry, you can join us," Minho said as Taemin examined jars of dried leaves he's never seen before. He opened the jar and gave it a sniff before sneezing violently.

"Save me a little bit." With stern eyes, she took the jar from a still sniffling Taemin and screwed the cap back on. "I'll eat it tomorrow."

"But...it tastes better fresh," Taemin whimpered with teary eyes.

Minho narrowed his eyes. "Did you eat dinner?"

At his look, the female tensed and averted her gaze. "I wasn't hungry," she guardedly replied.

"Now that's not good for you! You should really eat," Minho scolded.

"I don't want to," she stubbornly replied.

Minho resorted to threats, "If you don't come eat, I'm going to sit right here and stare at you intensely all night."

"You wouldn't!" She warily challenged.

"Taemin, get me my chicken, a bag of chips, and some red bull. I'm going to be here for a while."

"'Kay hyung!"

"Alright alright. I'm coming...." The girl bookmarked here page and grumbled past the boys.

Yeah, I know it's been like over half a year. I . Considered giving this up for adoption but really don't want to so I'm trying hard here. Sorta filler.
