“Jun, are your friends staying for the night later?” The three of them were eating breakfast Saturday morning, Jun was having his exams by next week, Jongin would be busy with Baek’s musical and Jae would be just waiting for a job. Jun hummed in reply.

“Hey Jae, how about you sleepover in my place again tonight?” Jongin said as he munches his food. Jun look the two of them suspiciously.

“Oh. I practically forgot about asking you what happened last week in hyung’s place, noona.” He grinned, but Jae wasn’t particular of the teasing. They didn’t do anything suspicious anyway.

“Well, we talk about Baekhyun’s musical and how everyone got involve on his sofa while eating Nutella.”

“N—Nutella? Hyung! You told me you’ll save that for me!” he was expecting to get that before he leaves so that he could have his own snacks while reviewing. “Noona, always hides those for her own keepsake. Not even caring if I want some too.”

“Okay! Okay! I’ll buy you one soon with my paycheck, eomma doesn’t have budget for that kiddo. Just be sure you top the exams and I’ll buy you monthly.”

“Ha! With that kind of bet and me studying for this exam, no doubt I’ll top for sure, noona.” He looked at Jae in a cocky grin as he continues eating.

“So?” Jongin looked at her, waiting for her answer.

Jae was holding her teddy bear, which Jongin bought her when they first went to a date as she waited him to open his apartment’s door while standing in front of it in that breezy Saturday night. After dinner, Jongin told her to get wash before going to his place since she will be crashing in his bed again tonight. Jun’s friends appeared right after she used the bathroom which was on 8pm to be exact. They placed they’re stuffs in the living room and start to talk school-related. The last time Jae went to sleep with Jongin, which was the first time, she couldn’t sleep. Jongin was facing the other side of the bed while Jae look at the ceiling, not much as she was expecting while sleeping with him.

“Hello~” he sang as he open the door and saw the teddy bear. He was still in the clothes he wore a while ago; he seems to clean a bit the place because bead of sweat appeared his forehead.

“He seemed to miss you, so I brought him with me.” Jae went inside and head straight to his bed. “Did you clean up?”

“Uhm no, I did a little catch up with the choreography I was making for the musical.” He grabbed a towel let and wipes some sweats. Jae plant herself inside the covers as she place the teddy bear beside her. “Anyways, tomorrow we will be having a photo shoot of Madame Red’s clothes for her article in the Clothing.”

“Madame Red? Is she the same Madame Red who invites us to do the runway of some of her works?” Jongin hum in respond. “She seems to like us.” She giggled, “Sure I can, how about you? Don’t overwork yourself Kim Jongin.” He chuckled, somewhat she’s worried and Jongin couldn’t help to think what she will be doing by herself for the rest of the week without him around.

“I was also informed by Ms. Jung when I ran into her a while ago in the company that you have job on Friday next week on Jeju. I guess we will be seeing each other by Sunday or Monday, it’s an on location work, Jae.” After he drank water to replenish, he went to the bathroom and later heard the shower running.

Jae looks troubled. Jongin will be home by Saturday, and she even planned something to surprise him and make him relax after his hard work but the schedule of her jobs that pop out without considering her personal plans ruined it all. She took her phone and found Ms. Jung, their manager, texted the information about the upcoming appointment which will be an advertisement of a certain hotel there in Jeju, which explained why she will be on Jeju for a while. She smiled when an idea pop out. If she couldn’t meet him here she could just ask him to go to Jeju and spend some time together in her free time!

“What are you smiling about?” he teased. Jongin just got out from the shower, with only a towel wrapped around his hips and another one hanged by his shoulder while he dries his hair.

“Nothing.” Jae looks away in an instance. He opened his drawer and grabs something that Jae wasn’t interest knowing about. She took the teddy bear lying peacefully beside her and plays with it.

“Why are you looking away?” Jae looks at him in response and saw him in his boxer.

“I was just playing with him.” Pointing the innocent teddy bear she was holding. Deep inside she was flustered and she doesn’t know. She had seen both of her brother and him in boxers in her apartment but in some reason it was different; “You should dry your hair first or you’ll get cold.” Instead he does what Jae said, he sat on the bed and lean his head close her.

“Could you dry it for me?” he pouted. Jae obliges and grabs the towel he was holding as she rubs his hair dry. “You really need to do this frequently Jae.” He smiled widely.

--

Jae was once again facing the ceiling while Jongin doze off facing the other side of the bed. She was hugging the poor teddy bear tightly as she listen the ticking of the bedside clock. She was somewhat excited with their second work with Madame Red after they had that weird yet fun pictorial before they were being invited in her fashion show or rather maybe feeling all being bubbly on how Jongin was acting. She liked it. Jongin was being so adorable these past weeks, and she could help but to like him even more. He’s annoying yet he makes her happy. A thought then ran by her train of thoughts, maybe he will finally start planning their wedding? Jae couldn’t help but to plaster a huge smile in that poor lit room with Jongin beside her. She looks at him and to her surprise he was facing at her!

“Your so creepy today, you smile out of the blue.” He whispered as he reach for her and snuggle on her neck with his sleepy eyes.

“You love me right?” she whispered.

“More than you think.” He presses his lips on her cheeks and she could feel him smiling beneath. She hugs him in response and finally drove off to sleep while thinking who will be singing their wedding song.

Shock covered in Jae’s face, she felt still dreaming in Jongin’s arms. The pictorial Madame Red referred to was for wedding photos! She could hear wedding bells from afar. Maybe this is a sign that Jongin will talk about wedding! Yesterday she only had thought about it since assuming might hurt her bad but today, it was different Jae could feel that she’s marrying this year!

“Hey, are you okay?” Jongin nudge her. They came in a reserved resort just for this pictorial. Madame Red even pick a very costly place to work yet they felt practically felt relaxed around.

“You didn’t tell me that this was for wedding clothes!”

“So as I am.” Madame Red appeared from the crowded staff, as her usual trademark, she wears a simple red shirt and pants with intricate designs of white laces and pink ribbons.

“Oh! Hello, Jasmin~” she lean on Jae’s cheeks and kissed her. “Kai, looking handsome still.” her very red lipstick left some smudges on Jae’s face while Jongin only had a cheek to cheek greeting. Jongin took out his handkerchief and brush off the left tint in her chicks. “Oh, I’m sorry.” Madame Red giggled as she noticed. “It’s been awhile!”

“I like your shirt.” Jae shyly compliments her. It was Jongin who she had work for many times, Jae only met her once when she was invited to be with Jongin in one of her pictorials but she’s a well-known designer throughout the world. It was impossible not to recognize her especially she has this uniqueness of style visible around her.

“Thanks darling. Anyways, proceed to the fitting room both of you. You’ll totally love my designs of gowns this year, Jasmin.” Madame Red had remember that she likes her dresses since she compliment almost every dress she tried on the past job so Madame Red never forgets her and calls her by her real name, since it was more classy she says. “Oh Kai! Before I forget, the dresses for the cast in dancin’ in the rain are all done, tell Ms. Jung to make the cast visit me for fitting.”

The two bowed as they proceed to the fitting room which is separate. Jae’s eyes sparkled in excitement, though she’s were wearing wedding gown today, each and every one was beautiful with very unique designs.

“Miss Jasmin.” Someone beamed from her behind. “I’m Do Hyun, I’ll be helping with the gowns and this is…” Do Hyun introduce every staff in the fitting room from her hairstylist to her make-up artist. “There will be 3 sets of gown you’ll be wearing today—“

“Three sets? Why? Madame Red made so many and only 3 could be shown?” It must have difficult for Madame Red to choose. Everyone was unique and beautiful yet only 3 she will wear.

“Three gowns will be chosen by you, Miss Jasmin.” Jae look at Do Hyun and back to the dresses.

“But I want to wear everyone.” She pouted as she starts checking the gowns. First she separates her liking from another rack and she has most half of it clearly.

“Miss Jasmin, you should choose something comfortable, you’ll be moving around today and we don’t want our model being not happy with it.” Jae carefully studies every gown, cloths sometimes bother her, yet in pictorials she never complains since she will be wearing it for the meantime.

“What’s the theme of the set anyways?” Do Hyun look uncertain as she look at the other staffs in the room for an answer.

“I was told to make you look like a princess.” The make-up artist said in annoyance maybe she got impatient with her.

“Then this one would be perfect!” Jae beamed. Just then a staff knocks on the door and told them that they will only do one dress today since they only reserved the resorts facilities for a day. It was already past 10am when Jae was fully furnished. Madame Red went in the fitting room to check her and was amaze with her choice. She took a little adjustments of her gown and set her off.

Jongin was waiting for her in the garden part of the resort where staffs had done their preparation for the shoot. He couldn’t help smiling from his thoughts even though the staffs were looking at him. They didn’t know what made him smile.

“Ah! You look like you’re waiting the bride from the altar.” Madame Red appeared as she smiled on him in very motherly way. Jongin stood in front of her and let her do some a little adjustment on his bow and straighten his coat. “My my your such a handsome fellow, anyways congratulations in advance Kai.”

“Congratulations for what, Madame Red?” Jae appeared from her behind, wearing the simple sleeveless white gown with sequences as design in her long blooming skirt. Her hair was simply did with a curl by her shoulders, her diamond crown rest on top of her head and a pearl earring dangling in both of her ears brilliantly.

“Oh! It was for the Dancin’ in the Rain, he took part of the scenes behind am I right? I’m looking forward this Sunday, dear.” Madame Red was startled at first, but when she saw Jongin’s reaction with Jae in that white dress, her heart melt like she was gonna send off her non-existing son.

“You look beautiful.” He smiled at her. Jae felt embarrass all of the sudden. “That crown really make you look beautiful like a princess.” He chuckled.

“Was that a compliment or a joke rather?” Jae look at him quite annoyed, he was teasing again and now in public.

“Kai, don’t be like that! You look wonderful Jasmin.” Madame Red shoves Jongin away and comfort Jae.

“Shall we go?” Jongin leaned his arm on her for her to tuck in as they were going outside on a sloping terrain of the garden.

--

Jae enjoyed the day; she wasn’t even thinking she was on a pictorial shoot. It was rather romantic and funny mixed up in photo album. The photo’s appeared great and Jae couldn’t help but to get a copy. She secretly told Madame Red that she made her feel she’ll be in the church in no time which Madame Red laughed with her eagerness to get married, she let her get a copy of a photo and gave giggles on it secretly.

Jae was in their apartment Sunday night, she was still battling herself to post it or not. If she posts it, people might assume they’re getting ready and Jongin might find her annoying for not being patient and leave her and… This is crazy!!! She holds her hair tight as she corrects herself for thinking such when a knock in the door disturbed her.

“I’ll be leaving now, call me when you miss me okay?” Jongin was holding his car keys; he must have done packing his things and ready to be off once his done saying goodbye to her. He was smirking while looking her in her weird state. Jae stood up and walks to his direction; Jongin was surprised that she hugs him and plant a kiss on his lips.

“Drive safely.” She smiled.

“Uhm, could you two get a room?” Jun appeared behind his hyung, he just got home from studying in one of his friend’s place. He pushed his noona away from his hyung after he took of his shoes. “Good luck hyung.” Jun was acting weird, Jae felt like Jongin was enlisting himself which was not yet happened. Jae felt nervous all of the sudden, maybe he was acting different because he will be enlisting himself? But he said himself that he will be gone for only a week.

“Arra, Arra, see you soon Jun, good luck on your exams too. Call me if your noona is bothering you from your studying time.” He chuckled; he waved at you for the last time before turning away. Jun send him off and close the door right behind him. Jun went inside again and places his bag on the kitchen counter as he s his shirt.

“Are we eating outside?” Jun asked as he checks the kitchen and table if she prepared something. “I’ll change my shirt and we’ll go.” He looks at her sister standing blankly from where he pushes him away. “Noona? Hey! I didn’t push you that hard!” he defend himself, Jae always blabber about him being so strong that sometimes whenever he shove her away or they were playing she yells at him.

“No, it doesn’t hurt at all.” She mumbled blankly yet tears formed in her eyes. Jun stood still, afraid what may happen next, either he will be kicked or slapped. “It doesn’t hurt at all, James Keith, it doesn’t.” she bawled and got in her kneels.

“Yah! Why are you crying? You’re scaring me noona!” Jun hold her shoulder for support as she bawled loudly like a kid who got herself lost in the crowd.

“He’s not going away right? Jongin will come back right?” she manages to say between her hiccups. Jun looked at her in such manner of why she was being so childish. He rolled his eyes, he knew his sister is childish sometime but this was worse than he knew!

“Come on! You just waste your tears of such little bull! Hyung will come back next week. No need to cry that.”

“Are you sure? He’s not going to enlist himself and leave me for 2 years?”

“Yes, I’m sure noona.” Jae was quiet for a while. After a couple of minutes she stood up as she wipe her tears and look at Jun in a very familiar way.

“Yah! Where did you start using cursing words? Bull? Who teach you that? Hoon? Soohyun?” and she was back to being herself, yelling and throwing slaps on him
