“Hey Bum!”

I’ve been here for about a week now and every day seems to be the same. Key wakes me up. I race to change while Minho eats breakfast. We go to practice, come home and sleep. Then wake up and do it all over again the next day.

“What?” I groan. “What are we doing today?”

Key rocks my shoulder.

“Today’s our day off. Hurry and change before Choi comes back.”

I pick out sweats.

“HyunSun, I said it’s our day OFF. Wear something other than practice clothes.”

I look at him dazed.

“Like what?”

He sifts through my clothes and throws out a pair of jeans.

“You need a nice shirt too. Nothing here works, but I think I might have something.”

He pulls two shirts out of his cabinet, one which is pink and the other is covered in glitter.

“Aren’t those a bit too flashy?”

He looks at me.

“I guess you’re right. What if you wear your white shirt and this?”

He pulls out a forest green cardigan with off white trim.

“You’re the pretty boy type.”

I roll my eyes.

“Anyways just change. I’m going to go stall Minho.”

I look at my clothes.

Just what on Earth are we doing today?

---

“HyunSun, wake up,” Onew whispers in my ear causing me to jump.

I check my wig.

Hew~

Still there.

“Where are we?” I ask  looking outside of the van.

Minho smiles, “It’s the–”

“BEACH!” Taemin yells.

“Too bad it’s not warm enough to swim,” Minho pouts.

Hold up.

Did he really just pout?

“We can still walk in the tides,” I offer motioning out towards the shore.

Taemin runs out of the van and grabs my waist.

“I’m burying HyunSun!”

An image of my wig being pulled off while being unburied flashes through my head.

“How about we burry you instead?”

He makes a face.

“It’s always the magnae!”

Dearest Taemin, in my group I am also the youngest not to mention the only girl.

I look at Onew.

“What’s the occasion?”

“It’s a full day off. We’re going to be staying at that beach house tonight.”

He turns to said beach house.

“It’s nice.”

“This is SM property which is why there are no cameras.”

Right now I must be wearing the dorkiest grin ever. One day and night on the beach? No practice?

After lunch we all sit down on the sand inhaling the salty air.

“Let’s play a game!” Taemin shouts.

“If you make me play twenty questions one more time, I may accidently tell the hair dressers that you want your hair pink,” Jonghyun threatens.

Taemin tries to play the part of an angel.

“How about truth or dare?”

“I’m in,” Key and Onew say together.

Jonghyun looks at me.

“Sounds like fun,” I lie.

“Great!” Taemin cheers.

This should be interesting.

“I’ll go first,” Jonghyun says and we all sit in a circle. “Taemin, truth or dare?”

“Dare.”

Jonghyun snickers.

…things not to do, p-ss off Jonghyun.

“I dare you to walk out into the waves until the water covers your waist.”

“What?! Heck NO!” Taemin shouts.

“A dare is a dare is a dare,” Jonghyun reasons evilly.

“I’ll get sick!”

“Fine, fine, to mid-thigh or take a penalty,” he settles.

Taemin jumps up and starts to roll his pants.

“Hey I never said you could do that!”

Taemin smiles cheekily. “Never said I couldn’t Hyung.”

When Taemin comes back his teeth are chattering. “M-my t-turn”

He takes a moment to calm himself.

“Minho, truth or dare?”

“Truth.”

“Ha! You have to tell us what you thought about that trainee and be honest.”

Onew speaks up, “Taemin you’re supposed to ask a question.”

Minho sighs. “I guess I thought she was cute. Happy?”

My face reddens.

“We ALL know she was cute, but you especially.”

He combs his hair out of his eyes. Is he blushing?

“I thought the way she acted was endearing, and her expressions were adorable. She looked exactly like my type and when she turned around and looked at me my heart skipped a beat. Is that what you wanted?”

By now I’ve dug my face into my knees.

“Yeah, I thought she looked familiar.”

Minho sighs again. “That too.”

I take a peek at him and he’s looking down, completely embarrassed.

“Minho, now it’s your turn,” Taemin laughs.

He raises his hand.

“I opt out, Key Hyung, you can take my turn.”

I look at Key.

“Taemin truth or dare?”

“What? Hyung, but I already went!”

Key shakes his head and winks at me.

“As punishment from all of us, and mostly because Minho didn’t deserve that, you get a second turn.”

Taemin weighs his options.

“If I go with dare it’ll be painful. If I go with truth, I’ll never live it down.”

He has a point.

“Decide,” Key drones.

Taemin squeezes his eyes shut. “Truth.”

“Do you really hate being the magnae? Or do you use it as a stunt for the Nunas? ...I've always wanted to know.”

He makes a face, “It’s for the Nuna’s. It’s never bothered me that I’m the youngest. It’s always been for the Nunas.”

The boys erupt into laugher.

“So that’s why you always make a fuss about being the youngest around AeCha,” Onew laughs.

Taemin sticks his tongue out. “We all know how you feel about AeCha.”

Onew coughs. “Just get on with your turn.”

Taemin looks at each of us and then his eyes settle on me.

“HyunSun Hyung! Truth or dare?”

The safest for me would be dare right? Unless if it was the Hyungs then I would have nothing to worry about, they wouldn’t go near my secret. But what would he dare me to do? He was pretty harsh on Minho.

I think of what Minho said about me and blush.

“Dare,” I say covering my face with the back of my hand.

He thinks it over. “You say you’re an actor, and Key swore you were a girl when you two met.”

He grins. “Act like a girl for five minutes.”

The Hyungs jump up in protest.

“What happened to you saying it was rude to call him a girl?” Key asks.

“Yah- let the guy have his pride,” Jonghyun says pointing at Taemin.

“A dare is a dare is a dare,” the magnae repeats.

Onew starts to shout.

“Op~pas! Don’t be so mean to Taemin-ah,” I pout.

The four of them look at me dazed…again. >.>

I tap my index fingers together.

“Taemin-shi will you tell me when my time is up?”

He gawks.

I begin to baby talk. “Tae-min-shii~ tell me when my time is up.”

He swallows.

“Yah! Taemin-shi~ I want to keep my dignity as a man.”

Minho looks up, done pouting.

I tilt my head away from him in hopes that he won’t see me as well.

“Nuna wants you to tell her when she can be Hyung again.”

He shakes his head.

“Nuna- I mean Hyung, you don’t have to anymore.”

I breathe a sigh of relief.

Please don’t have noticed.

Please don’t have noticed.

Taemin raises a hand to his torso.

“For a second there I thought my heart was going to beat straight out of my chest.”

I wince.

“You should really consider a change.”

…and I’m in the clear.

Onew kicks him onto his side.

“You dim wit. He already said that he wants to retain his dignity.”

Sitting back up, Taemin leans forward to get a better look at me.

I lean back, but he inches closer.

“Hyung, even your skin is really pretty.”

Minho grabs his hood.

“Little kid, leave him alone.”

“Hyung, how can you call me little? We’re only a few months apart.”

“Yah, but I’m still your Hyung and I say to cut it out.”

Minho turns his attention to me and his gaze just about kills me.

Him taking care of Taemin was him being supportive of me being a guy right? But his eyes read different, almost sort of curious.

[[i feel like this is an advertisement =_=' ]]

Song and Key

Soft Kisses, Harsh Words (sequel to Song and Key)

...for some reason about ten people subcribed to Song and Key after i announced that it was finished ._.
