Yoseob’s POV

 [19 August, 2010]

“BEEP BEEP YOU HAVE A NEW TEXT MESSAGE BEEP BEEP”

From: Joonkun Hyung

Seobbie, Hong Papa said treatment is more important. We’ll be pushing back the comeback dates. Your operation is arranged on 21st!

From: Yoseobbie

Thanks hyung! But what about the boys? Will they mind postponing our comeback solely because of my personal problems?

Just when I was about to send the text, I felt someone snatching my phone away.

“Yah! We’re a family! It’s not your problem, dude. It’s OURS!” Junhyung yelled into my ears.

“Guys! Come look! This kid here thinks we’ll blame him for postponing OUR comeback because of HIS personal problem! AISH!”

“Hyung! How could you think so badly of us!? WE’RE A FAMILY! WE’RE BROTHERS! THIS ISN’T THE FIRST TIME WE’RE SAYING THIS RIGHT?” Dongwoon fake cried after reading what I typed.

“Yah yah yah! This kid!” Doojoon walked over and messed up my hair. “No matter what happened, you have us by your side… Don’t worry, Seobbie. Your problem is our problem.”

“Yes yes! Trust us!” Hyunseung chimed in.

“Seobbie, stay strong. We’ll all be here for you” Kiki gave me a firm hug.

But wait…! My secret would get busted. I’ve got to get back my phone soon… LIKE NOW!

“Hey guys… This kid…” Junhyung looked at me with a cunning smile.

“OHMYGOSH…” Dongwoonie gasped while covering one hand on his mouth and the other pointing at my phone screen.

“Your wallpaper… What’s happening?” Kiki crossed his arms in front of his chest, demanding an explanation.

Oops. Busted.

“Seobbie, you should really confess before Cheondong gets her. I heard they’re close since their trainee days!” Kiki analysed.

“You need to confess, but you need the correct timing too!” Doojoon continued.

“I’m saying you wait for her birthday or something to break it to her” Hyunseung hyung suggested.

“But her birthday’s 16th May…” I said meekly.

“Oh no! That’s too long! You can’t leave it hanging for too long hyung~” Dongwoonie exclaimed.

“Yes, I know…”

“Let him have some time to mentally prepare himself guys…” Junhyung said as he placed one hand on my shoulder.

“Yeah… I mean, the most important thing now is our Seobbie’s operation!” Doojoon tried to change the topic. [A/N: He changed from a depressing topic to another depressing topic. TOO CUTE LOL. But at least he tried *shrugs*]

“And the next is our comeback! You don’t have time to worry about IU-ssi!” Hyunseung said encouragingly. [A/N: And silly Hyunseung goes back to depressing topics again! xD]

“You’d better rest early. We’ve got our album jacket shooting tomorrow…” Kiki said while pushing me up my ladder.

{Did you know? The boys don't address each other

as hyungs, only names are mentioned,

since all of them are only months older than

another. The only exception is maknae Dongwoon.}
