"You´re parents are simply awesome!"

About fifteen eager teens were roaming the empty building chatting away with each other.
"Yeah, I mean closing the whole cinema for us! Incredible!!"  Hana was bouncing up and down excitedly next to Onew.

Before you get any strange ideas: this little private viewing was a reward from his parents for getting the best test results in school history.

"How to open the darn popcorn machine?" Eunbyul came up whining and dragging Onew away. Watching his leave a little longer than required Hana and her bestest friend in the world Hyora(at least that was what was carved into two identical rings both were treasuring)  were proceeding to the hall with linked arms.

"Yah! Stop throwing gummi bears in my hoody!"  Wooyoung yelled half heartedly running away from Donghae, Jaeyi and Taemin. "That´s what you get for glancing at every mirror that crosses your way!"

"Geez! Stop acting like a guy already!!"

Jenny had seen it for such a long time now and she was sick of it: girls that tried to make the guy they love fall for them by becoming his buddy.
But once on this track there was hardly a way to true love.
Friendship was at stake if one of them even thought about confessing, and in the end, nothing would happen at all.
The girls that fell for these boys- next- door found it easy to become their friends and soon enough they all had become a clique that meet at least twice a week.

As far as Jennifer could see the guys forming the core of this clique were Lee "Onew"  Jinki, Lee Taemin (Jinki´s younger brother), Lee Donghae (as you might have guessed, their cousin), JangWooyoung and ChoKyuhyun.

All of them were... dorks, nerds, even freaky in some kind of way which made them very approachable for girls.

"Choi Minho"...

The more Hwayoung read in the previous yearbooks the more she fell for him.
"Leader of the basketball team, voted most popular, most valuable player in soccer,.."

Sighing she took a last look at his middle school picture before closing the book and crawling into the warmth of her bed.
