Friendship is one of the most precious thing one can have in their life.

"You're coming with us right?" Ryohei leaned by the door frame watching Sunny prepare herself to bed.

"Ah-my God!" She jumped and turned in surprise.

"Oppa!" She screamed her lungs out only to cover it.

"Wae?!" Ryohei asked.

"Will you stop doing that!?Aish~Jjeongmal." She said and went back to putting moisturizer on herself.

"Mian." He shrugged. "So, are you going to the Taekkyon practice with us this coming week?" 

"Oh. Can't. I'm going out on a date with Jong-ok unnie that day." She pumped a little amount of moisturizer on her palm and stood up to come to Ryohei.

"Stay still." She ordered him.

"Oh? Wae? What are you doing?" He straightened himself up and took a small step back out the door.

"Ei. Just stay still." She said and pulled him by the sleeve then started dubbing the moisturizer on his face.

"Wait, I~"

"No, you didn't. You forgot again." She said then gently rubbed it all over his face.

"Why do you even bother complain about your dry skin then go asking me what to put on when you always forget to put it on?" She nagged him.

Ryohei couldn't help but notice how comfortable they've become with each other in such a short period of time. It was strange how they become friends from a personal situation that got him involved. What's stranger was that he felt too comfortable for his own good. 

"Are you guys arguing again?" Jong-ok asked when she walked out of the bathroom.

"Aniyo unnie." Sunny answered after softly smacking Ryohei's face.

"Neh noona. We're not arguing. Sunny's just nagging at me again." Ryohei tattled.

"Yah!" Sunny responded with a smack on his shoulder.

"Aigoo~. If you two are not yet going to sleep, please go somewhere else and continue your bickering." The oldest said pushing both out of the room before gently closing it.

Sunny looked at the man who seemed amused at what had happened and smacked him again.

"Eish!" Sunny hissed and glared at the man. 

"You're the one who nagg~.

He was interrupted when Sunny's phone rang. 

Looking at the caller ID, Ryohei noticed that the name was a private listed number. 

"Don't hang-up. Give me a minute." Sunny said upon answering the call. 

"Right. So, in conclusion; I can't go. We'll be bringing a legendary visitor that day as well. And I did not nag you. Go to sleep. Gotta take this and bye!" She said quickly and made a run for it.

"What~?" Ryohei was left stupefied by what just happened.

Sunny ran quickly to the backyard taking a quick look to see if there were anyone around before taking the phone out again. 

"Annyeonghasaeyo?" Sunny said to the man.

"Neh. Annyeonghasaeyo Ms. Lee." The voice of the man from the other end answered.

"Mr. Jung, I understand that our deal was for you to only contact me if you have gathered a great deal of information otherwise~"

She didn't have to finish  her statement for the man to answer.

"Neh. And a great deal I have gathered. Actually, I can't discuss this matter with you through a phone call."  Mr. Jung's voice sounded cautious all of a sudden.

"Why?" Sunny sensed it and became nervous and serious at the same time.

"It's better if I explain to you in detail personally but I did have most of the major info sent to your private account. I'm sorry Miss Lee but I that's all I have for now." He ended the call before she could even answer.

"Bwoya?" She asked herself while looking at her phone. Her expression later changed into shock and fear with a sudden realization.

Don't tell me. He's been spotted by him? Her mind was filled again with negative thoughts and questions as to why the detective she hired hanged up on her.

As fast as she could, she ran by to her room and quietly opened the door to make sure that the oldest member was sound asleep. Taking out her laptop, she quietly went back out and went outside straight to the bench to check the e-mail Mr. Jung sent her.

From: MAGPIE                                                                                                                                                                 Sept. 15, 2014   9:48 PM

To: SGL

She's been visiting the parents a lot. Not surprised since the family's been having quite the financial problem lately. Brother's been beaten up badly - arm cast, neck brace and sunglasses proves it. L'il sis was almost kidnapped yesterday if I hadn't intervened. 

Already assigned a couple of eyes on the subject & family. Family is still in shadows regarding the matter.

Checked Queen's ol-accounts and been having suspicious log-in periods. Does anybody else know her password?

Heat's bad due to intervention. Need to laylow for a while. Passed the tail to one of my best.

Damn! Her brain was probably scrambled from so many thoughts.

Although the sentences weren't complete, Sunny understood every single bit of it. She was having a hard time as it is and with what she just found out, it going to get harder. 

She knew that for the past few days, she handled everything well on her own but now, she knew she needed to step up and get to them first before everything gets worse than it is.

After giving a quick reply, she took her phone out and dialed hesitantly before finally pressing the call button.

"Su-Sun kyu?" The stutter through Taeyeon's voice was obvious through the receiver.

"Hmm." Sunny answered coldly. I hate you right now for being so selfish.

"A~

"I'm coming to the dorm. Emergency. Gather everybody in the living room. I'll be there in an hour."  She hanged the phone before Taeyeon could say anything in return.

A few minutes past midnight, Sunny arrived earlier than expected to her dismay. She thought that even after taking a while to wake Ryohei up, she would've made it there withing the time set but he actually got her there twenty minutes earlier.

"Want me to wait for you?" Ryohei asked waking her up from her thought.

"Ah- can you come with me inside?" Sunny asked with her tone obviously sounding nervous. 

Knowing that it would be best not to be involved with the situation any further than is, he wanted to decline. "I think~

"Please?" She cut him off with her pleading voice and eyes. "I just need you there. Please. The girls and I will talk in the living room while I leave you in my room to rest. We won't disturb you, I promise." She held her right arm above her chest.

Ryohei took one look at her and they both knew that he was defeated. 

Both sighing in defeat and relief, Sunny took his hand and led them both to the entrance.

Even before they entered the building, Ryohei saw Sunny's hesitation. He had to keep poking her sides and threatening her that he'd keep doing it if she kept still for one more second.

With the buzz and click of the door, it alerted everybody in the room of their arrival. 

They stood by the door for a minute to let herself get the feel around the room. Moving in step by step, seeing the living room light , and trying to filter the sound of the TV, she slowly walked them both in.

"Unnie!" Seohyun immediately rose and went to hug her.

"Sunny-ah." Tiffany and two other girls reacted the same time while the others stood and just gave her a soft welcoming smile.

"I'm home." She said and went to the each of the seven girls giving them a hug then went to the girl who stayed by the window.

Taeyeon didn't know what to do when she received the call from Sunny. She just got nervous and did what she was asked to do before staying still to wait for everyone to arrive. 

Now that the girl was in front of her, her nerves got worst. Her mind was racing. What should I say? Damn me!

Wanting to stop cowering, she opened to say something. "Sun~

Slap! 

The sound echoed to the room. Gasps followed after and foot steps came rustling only to stop when Sunny hugged Taeyeon as tight as she could.

"You idiot." These were her first words to her friend after days of separation. "Did you think none of us wouldn't figure things out?"

Taeyeon's eyes teared up immediately realizing what her friend meant.

On the other hand, Ryohei still stood by the living room entrance watching and reacting with the rest of the girls.

When he saw how everything unfolded, he sighed and smiled feeling a bit relaxed now that she was with her friends and that she had reconnected with them. 

"I'm sorry to break this up but, why is hot Japanese man with you?" Sooyoung asked bluntly. Her mischievousness showed from the glint of her eyes.

"Youngie! Most of the older girls yelled at her.

Rather than react nervously, he composed himself and gave a proper greeting.

"Anneonghasaeyo. Otani Ryohei-imnidad." He introduce himself before bowing in 90 degrees.

"Neh. Anneonghasaeyo. So Nyu Shi Dae-imnida." All of them reacted on impulse.

Amused. He couldn't help but laugh at the scene. They were all bowing with some of them who were close together lined up and holding hands. It was like one of those scenes in their concerts where they'd bow after the final song.

The girls were surprised themselves and joine in the laughter.

"I'm sorry oppa. I kind of forgot." Sunny whispered to him when she came to his side.

"Sunny. Why?" Hyoyeon raised her eyebrow and gave a meaningful look.

"I forced him to drive me over here." She answered. "Will you wait for a minute? I'll just show him my bed and we'll talk."

"Wait? What?" Most of them reacted the same and just kept looking at each other,

Pulling Ryohei into the room she and Taeyeon shared, she let him lie down in her side of the bed then covered him with her comforter.

"Yah. You're just going to shove me like that?" Ryohei protested.

"Rest for a while oppa. I'll wake you up later when it's time to go home." She said ignoring his protest.

"Yah."

"Please oppa. I promise I'll tell you whatever happens tonight when I wake you." Sunny used her aegyo for a perfect finish.

When Sunny came out of the room, everybody was seated comfortably by the sofa. 

She stood by the center and was about to talk when Taeyeon stopped her.

"Sunny-ah. I-I, uhm, oh! There was a letter sent for you earlier. It's marked urgent but we couldn't contact you so I had to keep it. It's in Joohyun & Hyo's room." She said pulling the girl out.

"What?" Sunny was dazed about what was happening.

"Shhh." Taeyeon shushed her.

Looking at Taeyeon in worry and curiosity, she saw her pull out her phone and typed a few things while they entered the said room and quickly moving to the corner of the room.

"Read it quietly." Taeyeon told her.

The text said; Whatever you're about to do, you have to stop.

"Wae?" Sunny mouthed.

Taeyeon took the cellphone and typed her answer.

We  are being watched.

*N: Long time no update! :D

      Hello once again my fellow fanfic readers. I'm sorry I haven't updated earlier as planned. I'm still in the process of balancing my time but fortunately           now, I'll be able to update faster. 

       As you've noticed, this chapter is twice the length of the previous chapters. I've decided to write the chapters longer from now on to avoid prolonging          the number of chapters.

       By the way, if you notice any grammatical errors, or anything wrong at all, it's probably because I get lazy in checking it. :D

       Thank you again for reading my fanfic and I really hope you enjoyed it. 

       Keep safe always.
