The first week of school was almost over as I walked to the school gym for our futsal practice. From a distance, I could see a tall shikshin and a shorter girl who was wearing a pink t-shirt. I chuckled as I walked nearer to them.

"Hi Soo. Hi Taeng." I said with a grin as Sooyoung raised her hands up to me while Taeyeon just nodded her head. "Come on. One more day and you'll be free from the punishment. You should be more energetic."

"Easy for you to say. You didn't have your favourite game console taken away from you for the past 6 days." Sooyoung replied.

"And you don't have to go around wearing pink-colored things on you." Taeyeon said with a pout.

I chuckled and gestured them to follow me inside, where Hyoyeon and Yuri were waiting for us. Hyoyeon was lying on the bench with a headphone, listening to music with her eyes closed, except that her expression doesn't show like she was enjoying it. Yuri was already starting her warm-ups.

"Hey, Yul. Why are you starting so early without us?" I asked as I put down my duffle bag.

"This is not for the futsal practice. This is for the lunch I had with Yoongie. I can't believe that my girlfriend is so skinny when she can practically eat 2 bowls of rice and also dessert after that." Yuri explained as she continued with the push up.

I tapped Hyoyeon on her thighs as she opened her eyes and lifted one-side of her headphone. We all could hear the nature sound coming from the background of her headphone and I automatically laughed.

"Laugh all you want, Jae. I'm too stressed out to rebutt." Hyoyeon said as she sat up straight.

"I thought the cd that Seohyun gave you was suppose to relax your mind. That's what she said." I said as I stiffled my laugh.

"Relax? How the hell do I relax when all I can hear are sounds of water flowing and birds chirping? I can't even do any dance move with that sounds." Hyoyeon sighed.

I looked at the 4 of them and for a moment, I felt sorry. But only for a moment before I started to giggle. Lucky for me, all 4 of them were just too depress to 'kill' me. After we returned from the dinner last week to receive our punishment, the girls had practically lost their souls.

********************************

(Flashback a week before)

We were gathered in our girlfriends dorm as we stood in a row at their living room. Our girls were seated at the couch with their hawk eyes observing us as we waited for our punishment.

"Kim Taeyeon, your punishment is to have something pink on your attire for one week. Either a pink cap, a pink t-shirt, a pink bag or whatever that is pink." Tiffany said as Taeyeon had her jaws dropped.

"Choi Sooyoung, I will be confiscating your game console for one week." Sunny said as she folded her hands while Sooyoung just kept shaking her head.

"Kwon Yuri, your punishment is to accompany me everytime I'm eating and to finish up whatever that I ordered for both of us." Yoona said with a smile as Yuri suddenly punched her fist into the air.

"I just need to accompany you everytime you eat, right? That's easier than what I expected." Yuri grinned as she smirked at Sooyoung and Taeyeon.

"Yul, sorry to burst your bubble. But your girlfriend is a shikshin. She's just like Soo." Taeyeon said and she patted Yuri's back as we watched Yuri's expression darkened when she realised the truth of what Taeyeon just said.

"Kim Hyoyeon, you have to listen to this cd for a week instead of your normal song list." Seohyun took out a cd from a bag and gave it to Hyoyeon.

"Mwoya?!!" Hyoyeon took a look at the cd cover and placed it back on the table. "Hyunnie, I can't listen to this. It's going to drive me crazy." Hyoyeon tried to plead with her puppy eyes.

"No negotiations. Listening to this is good for you to relax yoru mind." Seohyun used her fingers to gesture to Hyoyeon to take back the cd.

"Park Hyun Jae, since you didn't actually initiate the hug, you're not as guilty as the rest." I smiled widely at Jessica but it stopped when Jessica continued her speech. "But since you didn't tell us the full story and also took their photos without showing it to us, you will still be punished. Your punishment is to take over my duties in my dorm for one week and also clean my room."

It seemed that our girlfriends also had the same roster of duties as us and Jessica was the first one on duty for next week. "I've to cook for the 5 of you?" I said as Jessica nodded her head.

The 5 of us went back to our dorms after that with our shoulders hung low as we walked to our living room

"Something pink? Mwoya... I don't hate the color but it's the least of my favourite." Taeyeon said before slamming herself on to the couch.

"Nature sounds for relaxation? Oh my god. I can't even imagine putting those sounds into my ears. I feel sick suddenly." Hyoyeon hold on to her stomach as she lied down on the floor.

"No game for a week? No game? For a week?" Sooyoung started to pull out her hairs as she stood near her bedroom door.

"Soo, how many times do you eat in a day?" Yuri asked as Sooyoung lifted 7 fingers. "7??!! How am I suppose to burn all that fats in a day?" Yuri looked down at her well-toned stomach and sighed.

"I'm going off to sleep. I've to wake up early tomorrow to prepare breakfast for the girls. Just when I thought I could sleep in on a Sunday." I sighed as I walked to my room.

********************************

We were all changed into our training kit and was just about to wear our boots when our girlfriends came up to us. They had went off for a mini-gathering without us as they sat at the bench. They had already changed into their training attires and I can't stop staring at Jessica.

"Is there something wrong with me, Jaegi? Why are you staring?" Jessica asked as she kept looking down on her attire to see if there's anything wrong.

"Anni.. You're just too beautiful." I said as I smiled sweetly at her. Jessica blushed while the other girls just rolled their eyes at me.

Suddenly my phone rang as I looked at it and saw Ailee's name on the screen. I picked it up and answered it.

"Hi Ailee, what's up?"

"Hi Jae. Just want to inform you that the cars are already here and you can come to collect them from tomorrow onwards.'

"Really? Daebak. I'll inform the other girls and discuss it with them. I'll message you for any updates. Thanks, Ailee."

"No worries. It's my job. Keep in touch then. Bye."

"Bye and see you around."

I hung up the phone and and looked up to see everyone staring at me. "Ailee said that our cars are ready for collection."

"Jinjja? Should we go and collect it tomorrow?" Yuri asked in excitement.

"Let's all go together." Sunny said as everyone nodded their heads.

Practice started soon as Ms Lee welcomed us back and she said that today will only be light drills with a practice match. Since there was only 6 of us left, Sunny and Ms Lee decided to join us for our practice match. After training was over, Ms Lee informed that next week the new students will be coming for their tryouts and she hoped that more students will be joining us since the senior students won't be joining us anymore. Ms Lee also informed that Taeyeon will be the new captain, replacing Clara and she will be nominating a new vice-captain soon.

Since the drills were not so tough, we were able to complete them in the given time. Ms Lee said that we should enjoy today to the fullest since by next week, it'll be back to business. We were separated into two teams for the practice match. Sooyoung, Yoona, Taeyeon and Ms Lee were in one team while me, Hyoyeon, Sunny and Yuri were in another team. Sooyoung played the keeper with Ms Lee as the defender and Taeyeon along with Yoona as the wingers/attackers. In my team, Sunny volunteered to be the keeper with Yuri as the defender. Hyoyeon and me played as the wingers/attackers.

I was really impressed with the way Sunny played as she kept blocking the shots from Taeyeon and Yoona. Even though this is her first time playing during practice, she seemed to have the talent for it. Going against Ms Lee was not an easy task for me. Even though she's 9yrs older than us, she was really quick with her feet and her stamina was really impressive. She was able to read my movement and stole the ball away from my feet, a few times.

After the match which ended with a 1-0 win for Taeyeon's team, courtesy of a goal from Ms Lee, all of us gathered around. We applauded Ms Lee for her superb skills as she explained that she actually used to play for the national team in that defender role before retiring about 2yrs ago due to an injury.

"That injury didn't allow me to play for long period of time and it frustrate me to a point that I decided to leave the national team. I wasn't able to contribute much to the team but my coach advise me to take up coaching so that is how I'm here now. I can still play for a short period of time like earlier but I can guarantee my sleep tonight won't be as peaceful." She chuckled at her own remarks. She showed us her ankle where her injury was and we saw the scar that she had due to the surgery.

"Don't you miss playing futsal, Ms Lee especially at the national level?" Taeyeon asked as everyone looked at her.

"Of course I missed it. Futsal was my passion. I was so into the game that I will always practice whenever I had the free time. I loved the game so much that I even hide about any minor injury or discomfort that I'm going through from my coach, just so that I can play the game. Ultimately, it led to my injury. That's why I insisted on having a physio on our team at all times. I needed Sunny to help me monitor my players well and I also kept reminding my players to be truthful of their own condition. Never hold back on an injury. You might missed a game or two but if you prolong it, you might end up having to miss the whole sports from your life."

All of us nodded our heads as we listened carefully to the advice given by Ms Lee. Shortly after that, she dismissed us from practice.

"Yah, Sunny. I didn't knew you were so good at being a keeper. You were able to catch most of their shots earlier." I said as I showed a thumbs up at her.

"My Bunny can even catch a live chicken with her bare hands." Sooyoung suddenly said as she started to tell the story when she and Sunny followed Sooyoung's parents to the country side for a vacation. "She just stood there and woosh. She went for the kill with a chicken in her hands and it's wings still flapping."

All of us listened and giggled at the way Sooyoung was telling the story as she did it animatedly. While waiting for Tiffany, Jessica and Seohyun to finish up their practices, we decided to freshen up.

"Taeng, you're changing?" I asked as I saw Taeyeon placed the pink t-shirt earlier on her shoulders and walked towards the changing room.

"I have too, if not Fany will extend my punishment to next week." Taeyeon pouted and continued walking.

"I'm hungry. Let's go to the cafetaria after this." Yoona said as she high-fived with Sooyoung.

"Again? I thought you already ate two bowls of rice during lunch earlier?" Yuri asked as she looked at Yoona in disbelief.

"I've used it all up during practice. Wae? You don't want to join me?" Yoona asked Yuri as she put her hands on her hips. Yuri quickly shook her head and said that she was just asking.

Hyoyeon was already having the headphones around her neck with the music clearly heard coming out from it.

"Yah, Hyo. Listen to it by yourself. I'm getting irritated with the birds chirping. It makes me hungry." Sooyoung said as Hyoyeon meronged at her.

"You've only heard it today. I've been listening to it for the past 6 days. I think I'm going to get my enlightenment soon and turn into a vegetarian." Hyoyeon said with a sigh as the rest of us laughed at her remarks.

10mins later, the 3 cheerleaders walked up to us and just at the same time, Taeyeon came back. Tiffany was so happy seeing her girlfriend in pink that she kept hugging her from the minute they saw each other. Yoona suggested to go to the cafetaria to eat but to my dismay, Jessica suggested for us to go back to the dorm and ask me to cook for them instead. I reluctantly agreed to her suggestion as we all got ready to leave the gym. While walking, I was teased by Taeyeon, Sooyoung, Yuri and Hyoyeon as their revenge at me for laughing at them earlier.

********************************

"5 more mins." I hugged my bolster tighter after I mumbled out those words.

I was really sleepy and when I felt someone shaking me up to be awake, I just turned my body to the other direction. After practice last night, I had went back to cook some fried rice for the girls and once they were done, I had to wash the dishes and clean the dining area since I had to take over Jessica's duty of cleaning up their dorm. Once I was done, I locked their dorm and returned to my room. All of us had the spare keys for each other's dorm to make it easier for us to move around between the dorms.

"How can you sleep longer than me? I'm suppose to be the one who loves sleep more than you."

Hearing that voice, I instantly opened my eyes and sat up. "Sica? What are you doing here?"

"Wae? I'm not allowed to be here?" Jessica asked as she sat down at my computer table and pouted.

"Anni, anni.. What I meant is, why are you here so early in the morning?" I asked with a yawn as I stretched my arms out.

"Morning? Jaegi." Jessica pointed at the clock in my room as I turned to look at it.

"Mwo?! It's already noon. How come no one woke me up?" I said as I quickly grabbed my towels and rushed to my door. "By the way, where's everyone? The dorm sound so quiet." I stood at my door and looked around.

"They're having breakfast next door. I decided to end your punishment yesterday since you've been very good. So I made some tuna sandwich for everyone and asked them to eat first while I'll come over to wake you up." Jessica smiled sweetly at me.

"You made breakfast?" I gulped down my saliva when I saw Jessica nodding her head. "Why don't you join them first and I'll come over once I'm done with my shower."

"Okay. I'll keep some of the tuna sandwich for you so palli okay." Jessica said as she stood up.

"If the food already finished by then, it's okay. Don't have to put aside specially for me." I chuckled nervously at Jessica but when I saw her giving me the skeptical looks, I panicked. "But it'll be much better if I can have a taste of it."

Jessica folded her arms and gave me the icy glare. I ran up to her and gave her a quick peck on the cheeks before running off to the bathroom.

"Hey Jae. We heard Sica saying that you wanted a taste of her tuna sandwich so we left some for you." Taeyeon said as she smirked at me while I heard giggles form the rest of the group.

I had just entered their dorm and with a confused look, I headed to the dining table. When I saw the food on the table, I finally understood the reason for their giggles. The plate of tuna sandwich looked as if it was untouched as Jessica suddenly appeared in front of me with a glass of water.

"I actually made one tuna sandwich each for everyone but when I came back, they said that they shared a sandwich each because they couldn't finished it off. So now, there's 5 of it left. I've already eaten mine but I guess after eating it, I can understand why they shared it. It's not that nice." Jessica frowned and pouted as she looked at the sandwiches. "You don't have to finish it up. Just take a bite to taste it and I'll just throw the rest out."

"Anni, anni.. I'll finish it up. You took the effort to make it so I'll finish it up okay." I grabbed a sandwich and quickly took a bite.

Frankly speaking, it really doesn't taste that good. I think Jessica used to much mayonaise in it and the way she cut the tomato was too thick that I can't really taste the tuna but I was determined to finish it all up. Even Jessica was shocked when I finished the 2nd sandwich. She tried to stop me from taking the 3rd sandwich and said that I don't have to force myself to eat it since she knew how it tasted. I shook my head and told her that it's the effort that she made, waking up early to make breakfast for everyone which I really appreciate a lot.

I guessed my words made Taeyeon, Yuri, Sooyoung and Hyoyeon felt guilty as they took the last two pieces of sandwich and shared it among them. I looked at them and smiled. When Jessica went to take drinks for the 4 girls, I mouthed the word thanks to them as they just nodded their heads at me.

Once breakfast was over, all of us made our way to the bus stop to travel to the showroom. I've already arranged with Ailee for our appointments to collect our cars at around 3pm that day. The journey took about an hour and Jessica felt asleep after 10mins inside the bus. As she leaned her head on my shoulder, I took the time to enjoy the view outside and at times, talked to the other girls.

We reached the showroom 15minutes earlier so we decided to walk around first as our girlfriends were amazed to see all the cars there. 5mins to 3pm, we decided to go to the main office and looked for Ailee. I was lagging behind the whole group since I had stopped to tie my shoelace earlier. Just when I was about to join the rest of the girls, I heard someone shouted my name and turned around.

"Jae!! Nice to see you again." I saw Ailee smiling at me as she engulfed me into a hug.

"Hi Ailee. Nice to see you again." I said as Ailee released me form her hug. "How's everything? How's school?"

"School's fine... I want to tell you something.." Ailee was not able to finish her sentence when I heard some coughings from behind and saw Ailee's shocked expression as she covered . "Oh my gosh. I can't believe this. Tiffany, Jessica. It's been some time since I last saw the both of you."

Ailee ran past me and started to hug Tiffany before moving on to hug Jessica. The 3 of them were so happy to see each other that they can't stop smiling.

"How come you girls are here? Are you planning to buy a car?" Ailee asked once they've calmed down.

"Anni. We're here to accompany our girlfriends. I think you've already met them and even made friends with them." Tiffany replied as Ailee started to look around.

When she saw Taeyeon, Yuri, Sooyoung and Hyoyeon, Ailee got excited again. She then ushered them into the office to sit at the big round table. Introduction was quickly done as Ailee nodded her head when the girls introduced their girlfriends.

"So Tiffany is with Taeyeon, Yoona with Yuri, Seohyun with Hyoyeon and Sunny with Sooyoung. Are you still with that guy, Jessica?" Ailee asked just when I was about to do my introduction.

"I'm with her." Jessica replied as she linked her arms with mine. "Me and Taecyeon had broken up since last year. He cheated behind my back."

"Oh my gosh. Jinjja? I've never really liked him in the first place. Anyway, seemed like Jae is a much better choice to be with. You're so lucky." Ailee said as she smiled.

Ailee, Tiffany and Jessica took turns to exlain how they met and became close. Through a combined cheerleading camp that they attended during their first year in university, the 3 girls met and were able to click with one another. Even though they've only met a few times during competition, the girls were still able to mingle well. After chatting for about 30mins, Ailee then went down to business by getting us our car keys and bringing us to the showroom garage at the back to collect our cars. Our girlfriends were shocked to see the cars especially mine as they walked up to it and started to admire it.

"Hey Ailee, you said that you've got something to tell me. What is it?" I said as the both of us stood at a corner.

"Oh yes. I'll be resigning from this job and will be taking up a dual degree instead. I've done my calculation and with the commission that I've received from your purchases, I should be able to manage all that." She smiled widely as I nodded my head and showed a thumbs up to her. "But I might need to look for a part time job for next year's school fees."

"That's so cool and good for you. You can take your time to prepare for next year too. Find a job that's not so stressful. Me, Sunny and Seohyun are also taking dual degree. Seohyun in political science. Me and Sunny taking business management. How about you?" I asked but before Ailee could give an answer, I heard my name being called.

"Hey, Jae. Need some help over here." Taeyeon shouted as I saw Tiffany pulling her ears.

"Sorry, Ailee. I've got a shorty to rescue." I chuckled at my own remarks as Ailee laughed out loud. Rushing over to Taeyeon, I asked her what happened as Tiffany released her ears.

"Fany is nagging at me because of the car. She's not happy that I chose an expensive car as a gift from you." Taeyeon said as she rubbed her red ears while the rest of the girls joined us.

"Fany-ah, Taeng didn't choose the car. I chose it for her. It's a great car and I feel that it suits her well." I explained to Tiffany who had her arms crossed.

"But don't you think for a gift, it's too expensive? And if you girls are planning to park it at our campus, the students will be questioning it." Tiffany replied.

"Jae bought that car as a gift for Taeyeon?" Ailee suddenly voiced out as I nodded my head. "No wonder I saw you both whispering to each other when you were choosing the car that time. But Jae doesn't look or behave like someone who has a lot of money. I couldn't feel the vibes of arrogance that the rich people usually have."

"That's because my Jaegi is different. She's the best." Jessica said as she linked her arms with me again, smiling sweetly at me.

"Thanks for the compliment, Sicababy." I smiled back at her and kissed her on the forehead.

"I can feel the tuna sandwich, churning around in my stomach." Yuri said as she, Hyoyeon and Sooyoung pretended to barf as Ailee laughed out loud at their reactions.

"I feel so jealous, seeing all of you with your girlfriends. I wished I got a partner too." Ailee said as she pouted cutely before laughing again.

"Hey Ailee, when is your last day of work?" I asked as everyone looked at me curiously. I then told them about my conversation with Ailee earlier and the girls were also happy about her decision.

"Tomorrow is my last day." She replied happily as I suggested to have a gathering tomorrow to celebrate her freedom from the job.

After discussing about the meet-up tomorrow, we all left the showroom with Sooyoung and Sunny, hitching a ride with Hyoyeon and Seohyun since Yuri's car, Taeyeon's car and mine were the two-seater type. We decided to drive to the mall to watch a movie and have our dinner.

********************************

I was concentrating on the road with Jessica enjoying the view. All of us were driving in a straight row with Yuri's car leading the pack, followed by Taeyeon's car, Hyoyeon and lastly me. It was quiet inside the car as the only sound heard was the music from the stereo.

"Jae, what do you think of Ailee?" Jessica suddenly turned to face me as I turned to glance at her before focussing back to the road.

"Ailee? Well, she seems like a nice person. Wae?" I replied without looking at Jessica.

"She is a nice person. She's friendlly, optimistic, honest and has a very y figure too. Basically, she's like beautiful on the inside and the outside." Jessica replied as I slowed down the car as we were reaching a red traffic light.

I took the opportunity to turn my body slightly and faced Jessica. "Do you have a crush on her?" I asked with a poker face as Jessica slapped me on my arms. "You sounded as if you did." I chuckled as I meronged at Jessica who rolled her eyes at me.

"I think she's got a crush on you." Jessica said as I frowned.

"Mwo? Me?" I said as I got ready to drive when I saw the traffic lights turning green. "What makes you say so?"

"Let's just say that it's a women instinct. The way she looked at you. The way she smiled at you. It makes me feel like she's hiding her feelings for you." Jessica explained as she rested her chin on her palm with one arm across her chest.

"I'm a women too but I didn't feel anything though. Anyway, I don't think it's possible. I've only met her twice. How can she have a crush on me so fast? She doesn't even know me that well."

"Well, there's always something called love at first sight." Jessica replied as she looked out the window.

"Love at first sight?" I chuckled as I repeated Jessica's words. "Are you feeling insecure, Sicababy?" I entwined our hands together, causing Jessica to turn and looked at me.

"I'm not sure, Jae. I've been observing her ever since she hugged you and I can't stop having this tingling feeling that she's got her eyes on you." Jessica pouted.

"But myy love is only for you. Trust me, okay." I said as I looked straight into her eyes before looking back on the road. I still heard Jessica sighing as she leaned her head on my shoulders as we continued our journey to the shopping mall.
