"Huh??  Maybe you're already hungry, Oppa."  I laughed.  We deposited our groceries and went out of the supermarket area.

"I'm hungry.  How about you, Yunho oppa?"  I asked.  The food court is also in the basement. 

"How about this Max's or Jollibee?"  He asked about the two establishments which were right on the outskirts of the supermarket area.

"I'm okay with any of the two.  Both serve yummy chicken.  Max's is pricier than Jollibee, though.  Fine dining."  I explained.

"Hmmm, let's go!"  He suddenly grabbed my hand again and pulled me towards Max's Restaurant.

I smiled as I gripped his hand back and went inside Max's.

In the end, Yunho oppa ordered Max's famous chicken (a whole chicken just for the two of us), Sinigang na Hipon (slightly sour shrimp soup dish), Lumpiang Shanghai (fried rolls), Pancit Canton, and Crabmeat fried rice.  I tried to stop him, knowing that we might not finish all the food.  But he said I should not worry, while popping the complimentary Camote fries in his mouth.

"What do you want for dessert?"  He asked while scanning the menu after our sumptuous meal.   My eyes widened at his question.

"Oppa, your stomach still has space for dessert?"  I asked, unconsciously rubbing my full tummy.  I don't think I can still even breathe properly.

"Ah!  Halo-halo!!  I wanna have halo-halo!  Didn't you make me one last time?"  He said instead of answering me.  Apparently, his stomach has secret compartments which lets him store more food.

"Yup, I'm surprised you remembered.  Anyway, I don't think I'll have dessert.  I'm sooo full."  I groaned.

"Eeeeiiiii.  Come on, pleaaase?  It's no fun eating alone.  Pleease?  Order your dessert too.  Okay?  Good."  He said and immediately called the waiter's attention without giving me a chance to say no.

"Please give us Halo-halo and.......Buko Pandan for dessert.  Thank you!"  He said and the waiter quickly went away.  Then he smiled at me mischievously.  "Ha-ha!  You're gonna eat it, no matter what.  Coz you know, lotsa people are poor and hungry nowadays...."  He paused and glanced at me to see if what he was saying was taking effect.  Seeing my poker face, he continued, "...and since it's like that, we don't wanna have it just thrown away, right?  And I know you're not a bad person because you have a very very pure and clean hea-"

"Okay!!!  Okay!!!  I will eat, Oppa.  But don't complain later when I throw up in the car."  I made a face and he laughed while reaching for my nose.  But I swatted his hand away and I could feel my face heat up.

"Riiiiggght.... You won't do that in front of THE legendary UKNOW Yunho.  You'll be shy...."  He teased and sniggered to himself.

"Pfffft..  As if I can hold it down my throat."  I mumbled and rolled my eyes.  Soon, our dessert came.  Just looking at my dessert makes me wanna throw up already.

"LET'S DIG IN!!!!!!"  Yunho oppa exclaimed and scooped a spoonful from my dessert, which actually made me happy.  I now have less food to gulp down.

"MMMmmmm!!!  That tastes yummy!!!  Exchange??"  He said and pushed his dessert bowl towards me.

"Hey!  No exchange!"  I said and pushed his bowl back to him and immediately covered mine with my hands.

"Okay...  Then eat yours now!" He commanded and gratefully, he started eating his halo-halo.

Miraculously, we were able to finish our dessert.  Oppa insisted on paying for our meal, no matter how much I argued with him.  And so, we took our groceries from the package counter and headed towards the parking lot.  I delayed reaching our car because I don't want to go home yet by dragging my feet and slowing down my movements.

"Don't you wanna go home yet?"  Yunho oppa suddenly asked and stopped walking.  He probably noticed what I was trying to do.

"Uhm... Yeah.. Sort of.."  I answered and I suddenly felt an arm draped around my shoulders.  I looked sideways and saw him grinning at me.  

"Eeeiiiii, it's okay.  Everything's gonna be fine."  He comforted then took the few grocery bags I insisted on holding.  "If ever something happens, I'll be by and on your side always.  Don't be scared."  He grinned again and held my hand while we walked towards my car.

"Thanks Yunho..."  I said and he raised his eyebrow at me.  "....oppa."  

"You're welcome!  Now let's go home.  Your parents must be worried."

When we got home, Kuya Darren wasn't waiting for me like the usual.  I sighed and bit my lip.  What do I expect right?  He apparently meant what he told me earlier.  It hurts my heart so much knowing that we won't be okay before he leaves for abroad.

"You okay?"  Yunho oppa asked, interrupting my thoughts.  I nodded.  My eyes fell on the grocery bags that were mostly full of food. 

"Uhh, do you want to bring these upstairs to your room?  But I don't think that's such a good idea, insects or pests might feast on it.  If you want, you can take your personal items then leave the rest in the pantry."  I suggested.  

"Okay!"  He replied and I dashed to my parents' room to tell them I was already home before helping him arrange the food in the pantry.  "You can have anything you want, Cassie.  Here!  This is yours."  He said and handed me the double stuf oreo.  "And this one too!"  And he passed me the Chunky Chips Ahoy.  "And this!  And that!  That also!  Everything!"  He exclaimed with a big smile while pointing at random chips.

"Haha, Oppa.  Thanks for the oreo and Chips Ahoy oppa!"  I said.  

Yeah,  I wouldn't refuse my favorite food!!!!

"There!  That's better.  A smiling Cassie is always better than a frowning one."  He commented and I stuck out my tongue at him.

A few minutes more and we were done arranging the food.

"On second thought, I should start eating this."  He suddenly said and pulled out  a bag of dried mangoes before standing up to go upstairs.

"What???  Aren't you full yet?"  I asked at him, wide-eyed and mouth opened.

"Nope!"  He said and popped a strip of dried mango in my mouth.

"Hey!!"  I slapped his arm while chewing the mango which tasted heavenly.  He chuckled and bit at a mango strip.

"Oh yeah, oppa.  Tomorrow I have work.  Do you want to stay here at the house or...?"  I asked.  I just wouldn't know what he would do if he chooses to stay at home.

"Can I come with you to work tomorrow?"  He asked.  "I wanna see where you work!" He added.  I thought for a moment before nodding my head.

"Sure.  But we have to leave the house at 8:30 since I have to be there before 9am.  It's just near so we will just walk tomorrow.  Is that okay with you?"  I asked and he nodded eagerly.

"Yup!  That's fine by me!"  He said and ate the rest of the dried mangoes from its packet.  He saw me stare at him and he chuckled.  "What?  It tasted so good.  I jsut had to finish it all at once!"  He showed me the empty packet.  

"Ooookay.  Just don't forget to brush your teeth before you sleep."  I reminded, worried that a South Korean Idol's teeth might be ruined just because of our delicacy.

"Awww, I'm touched.  You're so worried for me already...  "  He said with a teasing tone and I rolled my eyes.

"There you are again!! Well, I have to go to sleep now.  Goodnight and thanks a lot for today, Yunho oppa."  I said softly.  I really appreciated his effort to cheer me up.  And to be honest, it worked.  I felt happy even after what happened to my brother and I.

"Welcome Cassie.  Promise me you won't cry tonight?"  He said and looked in my eyes directly, which I hoped he didn't do since I could already feel the heat rushing to my face.

"I promise....  Good night.."  I said and gave him a smile before opening my bedroom door.  However, I felt a hand on my wrist, stopping me from entering my room.

"Good night, Cassie..."  He whispered and leaned towards me.  I felt a soft kiss on my forehead before he ran towards his room and closing the door shut without even a glance at me.  I stood there flustered at what had just occured.  It took me a few seconds to wake up and finally going inside my room.

---

Unknown to the two youngsters, two pairs of eyes were watching them the whole time, peeking from their door.  And after seeing what happened between Cassandra and Yunho, a fit of giggles could be heard inside the masters bedroom.

"Omo dear, did you see what happened?  Ooohhh!!! I think our daughter Cassie has finally found young love!"  Cassie's mother, Lora, had her hands clasped in front of her chest while the scene replayed in her mind.

"I agree, hun.  And I like that young man, Yunho.  He has this gentleman and kind vibe.  I really hope something will blossom between the two of them."  He said as they went back to bed.

"Cassandra Jung.  Sounds good, right?"  She asked and giggled again.

"Yes, hun.  It sounds good.  Now let's go to sleep too.  Good night, love."  He said and kissed her on the lips.

"Goodnight."  She greeted back and snuggled against him under the covers.

*Yunho's POV*

The next morning, I woke up at 7 AM.  Good thing I have my own bathroom.  I showered and prepared so that I would look presentable before I could meet anybody.  Though I had hard time choosing what to wear.  I only know that Cassie's work is at a school.  In the end, I chose a gray polo shirt, jeans and sneakers.  I checked my whole look at the reflection before nodding at myself and heading out.

"Oh!  Good morning, Yunho oppa!"  Cassie greeted who seemed who just got out of her room.  I paused momentarily as I took notice of what she was wearing.  She was wearing a cream colored button blouse with a dark colored skirt.  Her face only had little makeup on, showing her natural beauty.  She was really pretty and I just couldn't seem to stop staring.

"Uh, yoohoo~~!!!!"  She said and waved at me.

"G-good morning, Cassie!"  I could feel myself blush. 

Dang.  Why am I blushing AND stuttering?  Yunho, get a grip!

"Are you okay?  DIdn't you get a good sleep?"  She asked, her pretty face suddenly creased with worry.  "Tsk!  See?  It's bad to eat a lot and then sleep right after."  She scolded and crossed her arms.  Cute.

"Aigoo Cassie.... You're too worried about me.  Come on, I'm MIGHT JUNG YUNHO.  Don't forget that."  I boasted and puffed out my chest and straightened my shoulders.

"Pffft.  Whatever.  Anyway, come on.  Let's go eat breakfast."   I nodded.  The way she said it like she was nervous.  And I found out why.

As soon as we entered the dining hall, I could feel a very very thick tension between Cassie and her brother, Darren.  Her parents were nowhere in sight.  I cleared my throat.

"Good morning!"  I politely greeted him.  He gave me a swift glance and nodded ever so slightly.  Geez.  So friendly.

I could hear Cassie muttering something under her breath but I couldn't hear it.  

When we sat down, Darren immediately stood up and walked away.

"I apologize in behalf of my brother.  I'm sorry."  Cassie said and smiled sadly.

"Okay lang, don't worry."  I assured and her eyebrows shot up in surprise.

"How'd you know?" She asked.

"Secret."  I smiled mischievously at her.  She gave a small smile.

Breakfast was full of silence after that.  I kept glancing at her and there was one point when my eyes widened when I noticed tears were threatening to fall from her eyes.  She turned her face away from me and I knew she didn't want me to know what was happening.  It took her a few minutes before facing me again, her eyes quite red.

"Are you done, Yunho?"  She asked.  I nodded.  She didn't call me oppa but this time, I let it slip.

We walked around 10-15 minutes to school since it was only inside the subdivision.  I offered to bring her things which consisted of books and other teaching materials.  And thankfully, I was able to lighten up her mood.  She was now giggling with the jokes and stories I was telling.  

"Ahahahahahahaha!!!  You're so funny, how you could do that?!  That was so e-em-embarrassinbwahhahahahhahahaah!!!!"  She stopped walking and clutched her tummy as she laughed like there's no tomorrow.

"YAH!  It was not THAT funny!"  I pretended to glare at her.  She glanced at me and burst out laughing again.  I shook my head and laughed with her.

"Okay, okay.  I admit....it was hilarious."  I laughingly said.

"Of course, it is."  She agreed and bit her lip to stop herself from laughing once more.

"CASSIE!!!!" We heard a voice behind us.  We both turned around and I saw a weird looking guy running towards us.  He had sunglasses on, a big messenger bag hanging on his shoulder, a short sleeved open polo above his shockingly yellow tshirt.  And I must not forget the baggy pants he had on.  Immediately, I moved closer to Cassie and placed a protective arm in front of her.

"MARK!!!"  She greeted happily.

"You know him?"  I asked, shocked that she'd a creature like this guy.  Unfotunately, she nodded and grinned at me.  She was about to tell me something when this creature spoke,

"Oh hey!  Yunho, right?  I'm Mark!  Don't you remember?"  He asked as he stopped in front of us after giving MY Cass- I mean, giving CASSIE a greasy and sickening smile.

"No.  I.  DON'T."  I coldly replied as I eyed him up and down.  Who the heck is this...creature?!

"Yunho oppa, it's Mark!  We were the two interns when you guys filmed here!  Do you remember now?  We work together, same school."  She informed and then beamed at the creatu-- Mark, which made my blood boil suddenly.

Oh great.  The man she was always with in the pictures on her wall.  Great.  Just great.
