Anyway, I mentioned in the forward that this storys from Jewels point of view, so some content will not be written in. Some will be revealed but others won't...with ONE exception. But thats far away :P

CHAPTER 2 - MONTH 1 - PRANK

Being a part of such a large group has its ups and down. While there are more people to talk to, if even a few members get in trouble, it can affect everyone else. And it was showing; those of us who had been dismissed already are sitting in some chairs outside of the dance studio twenty minutes after being dismissed. It was impossible to leave since the managers bought a large white van that could seat twelve people plus two at front. I have no idea why they did that since the decision to add the other girls didn't occur until today. Either way, us "good children" sit, and hope that the managers are having any luck convincing Instructor Lee to let the others leave.

"France actually," Angie says to me after I ask about where she's from, "up to age ten. But we came to South Korea to start a new life." Angie pauses, looking down towards the ground, "I had a twin...and he died in an accident on Jeju island. We had some amazing memories before then with my three brothers before that."

"I'm sorry," I murmur.

She shakes her head, "It strengthened the bond between my brothers and I. Made me realize how short life is," Angie takes a deep breath, "I miss my twin brother, but it taught me so much...so I guess I'm thankful."

"You learn a lot from those situations," I add, with a smile.

"Its true," Angie looks back at me, "what about you?"

"Me?" I brush strands of hair behind my ear, "I...I don't open up...really..."

"Come on! I did..."

And it was true, it hardly seemed polite to hold back, "Well..." I look over at Young Saeng who throws a smile at me, "My brother, Hyun Joong, and I use to live Canada until we moved here when I was two. I have another brother, Seung R. But we don't talk much; he isolates himself. Spends a lot of time working...don't frown!" I suddenly exclaim, "these kinds of things are sad but don't feel sad!"

"But its so sad."

"Stop, just..." I make a funny face, as random as it was and I'm surprised I'm even doing this...normally I'm too shy.

"Ha! That's hilarious!" Angie smiles, "you're funny."

"Thanks."

"I wish you wouldn't frown..."

I look back at Young Saeng, he pats my shoulder, gesturing towards Angie. He wanted me to tell her the rest, push my drawn line so I would be more open, "It's not that easy," I start looking down to the ground, "sometimes I'm quiet...because I was bullied when I was little. Even though I had Jung Min and Hyun Joong at the time. The bullies just kept coming."

Before she can respond, the managers walk out of the door with everyone else on their heals. Jung Min looks over at us, I can feel something stab my heart and I look back down to the floor. A giggle escapes Angie's lips, "He looks silly..." I look back at Jung Min and he's glaring, and doing some sort of bobbing, waving thing with his head, "...immature..."

Young Saeng nods, "And possessive."

"Makes me want cookie..." I say randomly.

Young Saeng scoots over, putting his arm around the backrest behind me and smiles, "Where did that come from?" He looks down to the ground.

"Hey, its a random craving," I whine, "but I want cookies." I can hear Angie striking up a quiet conversation with Kyu Jong.

"Yah!" Jung Min exclaims.

"Omo, would you like at that?" Hyung Jun says, I don't look at him but continue my conversation with Young Saeng, "Don't Saengie and our Tori look cute together? Come to think of it, they sounded amazing together, like a choir of angels had come down from heaven." Hyung Jun emphasizes the last part, my guess in his usual way...throwing his arms in the air or something.

I hadn't noticed that the other girls had settled down around us, striking up random conversations amongst themselves, "Ya!" Jung Min exclaims, "no one wants to hear you speak!" Suddenly a shadow is over me and something squishes in between Young Saeng and I. Jung Min starts to pout and folds his arm across his chest.

"Mal!" My brother exclaims, coming out of the dance studio, "You are sitting too close to my Tori, find your own stable!" I let out a laugh, covering my mouth with my hand and clearing my throat. 

Kyu Jong, Hyung Jun and Hyun Joong look at me, I knew what was to come. Just as predicted, the boys start to make horse noises, "Heeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeee!"

"YA!" Jung Mins grabs a pillow behind him on the couch and aims for the boys. I look over at Young Saeng, he hadn't joined in the fun. I saw him glare at Jung Min and it scared me. What was he thinking?

"He's such a wild stallion," Hyung Jun adds, "Your so bad, I could almost compare you to a bronco."

Hyun Joong nods, "He's right! I don't want to ride you anymore. Lets set the horse free! Awwaayyy! Awwaaay!" He gestures as if he was shooing Jung Min away. I look towards Jung Min and laugh.

"This isn't funny, Seal!" Jung Min whines, "Must I remind you that Seals shouldn't be out of their-"

"Heeheeheeheeheehee!"

​Kyu Jong laughs, pointing at Jung Min and trying to speak in between his laughs, "Look, its getting ready to charge."

"Someone grab the reigns!" Young Saeng finally joins in, pretending to look for the reigns and not moving from his spot on the couch. Jung Min continues to pout.

Minutes later, the manager gesture for everyone to follow. Everyone then splits into groups. I try my best to talk to Young Saeng as we walk, however before we strike up a decent conversation Jung Min pushes himself in between Young Saeng and I.

"Your too close Mal!" Hyun Joong exclaims.

"Omo, they are so good together...don't you think so?" Hyung Jun asks, "I bet they would look good paired up on We Got Married."

I roll my eye and smile; continuing to listen to the chaotic conversation. Outside the building is the white van and everyone piles in. I sit down, expecting Young Saeng to sit beside me but instead Jung Min has pushed his way in and is sitting almost on top of me. I notice Young Saeng is glaring and I join him, I was getting tired of Jung Min doing this....ignoring me then getting angry and getting possessive.

"Having fun?" I hear a voice, Hyung Jun, in the seat in front of me. the van jerks forward and we're on our way home.

I sigh, shaking my head. I see Hyun Joong frown. It took us a while to get back to the apartment, it was extremely late though noe knw the time exactly. It had been dark for so long.  We pile out of the van, I feel the weight of fatigue weighing down on me. Piling into our apartment Hyung Jun grabs Young Saeng and falls on to the couch, who in turn grabs me. The three of us fall on to the couch, I can hear Jung mutter something about skin ship.

Koko plops herself on to the floor as if she were going to sleep. Sunflower rolls her eyes, and made her way to one of the bedrooms, ignoring the manager plea for her to stay in the living room. She comes back quickly. Everyone gathers around the couch, the managers stand at the front. I look around at the boys, once again Hyun Joong and Ky Jong are making fun of Hyung Jun, "Okay, now that everyone is here..." Manager Jung smiles, "...I'm Manager Jung, I'm the main manager for the boys, and these two gentlemen are my assistants. SM has mat it easier for me by assigning the girls their own managers. Just because they are assigned to the girls, doesn't mean they don't have equal say." I catch Hyun Joong and Jung Min rolls their eyes, "The six of us are equally responsible for making sure you all follow your schedule and make sure you are take care of, and make sure that you all are properly chaperoned while living in the same dorm. Manager Hwang, Assistant Manager Leah, Assistant Manager Mi Nam, I envy your jobs, because it looks like these ladies are much easier to handle."

Jung Min frowns, "I don't know what you are talking about Manager Jung. I'm a perfect Angel who is always most helpful."

"And they say that Leader has a 4D way of thinking," Hyung Jun giggled, getting a thumbs up from Hyun Joong and Kyu Jong.

"Ya!"

"Alright you two, not now." The manager scolds, I never figured out how the manager handeled the boys, "Right now, let's go over some house rules, that all the managers are in charge of consequences for breaking the rules. Hyun Joong and So Yun,  as the leaders, you will be making sure you AND the members follow the rules, arasso? Theres rules have been posted and will remain posted until we are sure you know them and will follow them."

There is a small plaque on the wall. The manager looks over each one and reads them out loud one by now:

(1) No guy and girl should be alone in a bedroom with door closed.
(2) Everyone should be in pairs if the group splits up 
(3) Take turns making meals and housework (No! You can't give Young saeng your cooking duty or Jung Min and Ky Jong your cleaning duties)
(4) No one leaves the apartment once the "day" has ended
(5) Respect your managers and peers
(6) Hyung Jun: You MUST listen to your manager!

The guys snicker as the manager finishes the last rule, Hyung Jun crosses his arms over his chest, "I listen..." And starts mumbling something else.

The manager pauses, looking over at the boys and shrugging his shoulders, "I see that some of the boys added their own rules. For humor sake, I shall read them out loud."

(7) From Jung Min: The girls must pay proper tribute and respect to y Charisma at all times.

The girls turn towards Jung Min, I found myself snickering, "Ya!" Jung Min exclaims, looking at me, "This isn't a laughing matter!" He repeats the same thing after turning to the other girls.

(8) From Hyun Joong: No boy member is ever allowed to date, touch or look at Jewel without express written permission from Hyun Joong (That means you, Mal!)

My eyes widen, I feel heat rise to my cheeks, "How could you?" I look at Hyun Joong, he had the same straight face he had when he went into 4D mode.

"It isn't me!" Jung Min glares, "Young Saeng has a problem keeping his octopus arms to himself."

Young Saeng turns to Jung Min, "Octopus arms? That's a new one. I thought I was an Otter." He looks at me just as I put my hand over my mouth to hide embarrassment.

"Alright, calm down. There is one more "addition."

(9) From Hyung Jun: No one is allowed to prank or bully the boy maknae, but he can pull as many pranks as he feels like it at any given time.

The room feel silent, Hyung Jun was smiling but no one minded that rule...now he could put his plans into action.

Manager Jung coughs a laugh, turning to us, "Just because these last three rules are up doesn't mean they've been approved." Everyone but Hyung Jun, Hyun Joong and Jung Min start to laugh, "Now the managers have to go to the agency for a meeting to get your schedules for the rest of the week. I'm sure we can trust you alone long enough to get unpacked and settled in and have something to eat. We'll be back within the hour. You will have to go to the grocery to get some food for breakfasts and dinners. We'll eat lunch at the agency or training room. Right now, the only thing we have is some instant ramen. Hyun Joong and So Yun, you're in charge until we get back." So Yun and Hyun Joong look at each other, "Okay kids, be good until we get back." Everyone nods, and all the managers put on their shoes, then disappear out the door. Now the mischievous behavior would begin...

Before anymore words can be said, Jung Min jumps up from his spot on the couch and stands in the same spot the manager had just been standing in minutes before. I watch him glare at Young Saeng, then address the entire group, "Before everyone goes off to do their own thing I have some business to take care of. Four people have not been graced with an animal nickname."

All the girls tilt their heads, exchanging glances. I smile, this was the moment I was waiting for. Kyu Jong smiles, "Oh, this should be interesting. Does this mean you've accepted them?"

"Pabo! I haven't accepted any of these girls as members but since SM says they are, the least I can do is give them appropriate nicknames."

Hyung Jun jumps up, eyes widening, "Oh, I hope they are all cute and cuddly. These girls are adorable."

Jung Min glares at Hyung Jun, "You all that Tori...I mean Jewel is called Seal. So Yun..." He looks at her, "...you are now Chipmunk."

"Chipmunk...I guess that's not too bad."

Hyung Jun smiles, "Oh so cute! It must be because of your cute cheeks!" He turns his head, and I see my brother glaring. Of course he would.

"Angie, you are now Butterfly."

"Ohhhhhhh...." Hyung Jun starts.

"Are you going to go ga-ga after every nickname? Cut it out!" Jung Min snaps; Hyung Jun snickers. A couple seconds later Jung Min continues with the nicknames, "Sunflower, you are now squirrel."

Out of the corner of my eye I see that Hyung Jun has opened his mouth to speak, but shuts it when Jung Min glares at him. The glare does not wipe the snicker off of Hyung Jun's face. Hyung Jun gives Sunflower a thumbs up.

Koko was last. I was curious as to what nickname he would come up for her, "Koko..." An evil grin appears on Jung Min's face, everyone is silent, "...you are now Rhino!"

"Rhino!? Why Rhino? All the other girls got cute and sweet nicknames. Why am I stuck with Rhino!?" Koko demands.

"Because I felt like it." Jung Min responds.

All of us laugh.

"Don't feel bad," Kyu Jong smiles, "...he gave me Praying Mantis and Gorilla. How would you like being called as if you were an insect?"

Koko grins, "I guess I should be glad he gave me a nickname at all since he hates us girls."

"Ya! I didn't say I hated you," Jung Min exclaims. I look down to the ground, I felt so different...he was still ignoring me. The only time he paid any attention to me was when he was keeping Young Saeng and I a part...its like I can't have friends!

I knew the girls were aware of jung Min and Hyun Joongs strong opposition to adding girls to the group. I understood why, I remember how they interacted when I was allowed to spend time with them and my brother when it was only the five of them. I remember how they were there for each other, how they laughed together...how they suffered through that horrible problem with DSP and their goodbye's. Even though I felt we were close, I never truly felt included.

"Whatever," Hyun Joong says, breaking my train of thought, "...we need to decide who gets the groceries tonight. Lets take five to ten minutes to unpack and set up our beds. Then we'll come back and decide whose getting the groceries."

So Yun looks annoyed, and I don't blame her. Hyun Joong didn't even talk to her before announcing this. She was a leader too. But I need some time to myself. This was turning into a nightmare. I get up, grabbing my small bag and heading into the first room I see. So Yun follows me.

She plops down on a bed.

"Don't worry," I say quietly, "he's just upset."

So Yun looks at me, "Its so frustrating."

"I know," I smile, "he's annoying when he's mad. Like a mammoth."

"Does that even make sense?" So Yun laughs.

"It does," I murmur, "mammoths were stubborn and angry all the time. Haven't you seen Ice age?"

"You really think Mammoths were like that?"

I laugh, "Of course."

"I guess it makes sense," She squints, "I'm So Yun."

Introductions, the thing that plagues humanity. I feel like sinking back into my comfort zone and not respond, but I push myself and smile, "Jewel."

"Hyun Joong's sister?"

I nod, "The one and only."

The both of us smile...looks like I found my roomate.

We go  back into the living room minutes later, Young Saeng has disappeared and soon after So Yun does as well. 

"Tori," Hyung Jun whines, grabbing my arm, "I'm so tired."

Finally someone else was speaking to me, but it would be overwhelming with the new additions. There were now double the members than before, I laugh, "Then go to bed."

"I don't want to," He pulls me on to the couch, "i wanna eat food."

I laugh, "Its late."

"I want foooooooodddd."

"Baby," I laugh, pushing his face away. The girls watch us.

"Ya, Hyung Junnie..." Kyu Jong exclaims suddenly coming from the kitchen, "why don't we tell the girls about the reality show? The one  that forced us to become 'pregnant women' for twenty four hours."

Koko, Sunflower and Angie look at Kyu Jong in surprise, but I just shake my head a little, trying to hold in a laugh.

"Which time?" Hyung Jun asks, almost whiny, "the one where we dance to Lee Hyori or the one with eggs?"

"Eggs," Kyu Jong answers, "you know, the one where you got us in trouble when you took off your belly! You remember that, right Tori?"

I can't hold it in anymore and a small, short laugh escapes my lips, "Yeah! Hyung Jun was over-rolling the ball and Jung Min couldn't keep his hands to himself. But at least he showed he was good with babies."

Hyung Jun's facial expression changes, he's surprised, "But it was so heavy!" He whines, looking over at me, "And I was forced to wear that! I can never bear twins..." Hyung Jun murmurs the last part.

"You won't have to bear twins. You aren't female," I say, "plus you lost fair and square!"

"You want to tell the girls or not?" Ky asks, sitting in between Hyung Jun and I.

Hyung Jun smiles, jumping off the couch, "Yeah! I love story time! Tori, come help me tell everyone what happened." He grabs my hand and pulls me off the couch, "Alright everyone, this is Jewel and Hyung Jun's story circle. Please only speak when you have the..." He searches the area and grabs a remote controller, "...the talking stick!"

Sunflower frowns, "That's a remote controller..."

"Yeah!"

"Imaginations...use your imaginations!" Hyung Jun smiles, "...unless you have the stick-"

"Remote controller." Kyu Jung says.

"Whatever! Stop interrupting..." Hyung Jun glares, "...if you don't have the remote controller, then-"

"See, I knew you'd catch on!" Kyu Jong snickers, "now you can call it remote controller when you use it."

Hyung Jun looks at Kyu Jong but before another word can be said Jung Min pops his head out of the kitchen with a sparkle in his eye, "Ya! you guys would be able to tell it right!" Jung Min has Hyun Joong by his arm, and was dragging him towards us, "Hyung, we have to make sure they tell the story right..."

"They don't have to tell all the parts, I'll make sure of that..." (THIS IS THE EVENT THEY ARE FLASHING BACK TO). Hyun Joong looks at me, "You were there. Tell them everything that happened. And be honest on how I tried to keep them all focused..."

"Focused?" I frown.

"Yeah!"

Jung Min laughs, "You weren't focused! You were always joking around..."

"Actually," I try to hold in a laugh, "it was funny because they wa;led into a room and there were people with party hats. They were getting all excited, Jung Min even did a funny dance thing. Then," I put a hand over my mouth, "...the head of the program reveals this sign..."

"...this isn't what happened..." Hyun Joong tries to interrupt, his face looks stern.

"...that said pregnant!" I giggle, "And they look a the sign like this..." I widen my eyes with my mouth open a little bit.

Hyung Jun put his hands in the air, "Then Young Saeng said 'We don't want to be pregnant."

All the girls laugh, including me...but now I'm laughing harder.

"That's boring..." Hyun Joong slings his arm around my shoulder, keeping the straight face, "...skip to the part where I was cool and collected when we did our first exercise-"

"You were fooling around on the ball like a banshee," I interrupt with a straight face.

Hyun Joong frowns, "Did not."

"Yeah hyung! I was the one who was masculine and-"Jung Min smiles.

I shake my head, "You kicked Hyung Jun off his ball."

"Did not!" Jung Min exclaims, "its not good to lie!"

"You," I lok at the others girls, who are motioning for me to say it again, "kicked his ball!"

"YA! I'm warning you Seal. If you say it again, I'm not going to hold-"

"You kicked the ball!"

Jung Min frowns, "That's it!" He comes towards me, "come here!"

I screech, running away from Jung Min's approaches and running in circles around the living room. This was more like it, back to the old days when teasing and running around was a occupation. 

But time had not helped me with my speed, for note five minutes leader I feel a pair of arms wrap around my waste, "Tickle attack!" He starts to tickle me...and then I'm on the floor, laughing.

"I want to join in!" Hyung Jun exclaims, and suddenly two pairs of hands are tickling me. Eventually everyone is tickling me and I'm running out of breath because I'm laughing so hard. My stomach is hurting now.

"Ya!" My brother exclaims, and suddenly everyone has dispersed. I get up form my spot and take a seat on the couch.

Jung Min does the same, I can feel his body heat on my right hand side, "Seal..."

"Horse..."

"Is that all you have to say?"

"What else am I suppose to say?" I ask, smirking, "besides you did it first."

"I made the nicknames, I can do it if I want!"

"You can't do whatever you want."

"The y charisma can do whatever he wants."

"y charisma? You're not a even y horse..."

"I'm the iest horse alive..."

"Yah!" Hyun Joong suddenly exclaims. I look over and see So Yun coming out of the kitchen with Young Saeng on her trail, both are smiling, "Where were you?" I look over and notice an arm draped over the back of the couch.

"Sorry, we were talking," He says. He looks over a Jung Min and I, his smile fading quickly.

"So how are we going to decide on who does the shopping?" So Yun suddenly asks.

"We're going to have a contest."

"Oh, I love contests...except I always lose!" Hyung Jun complains.

Angie smiles, "Maybe this time you'll win."

"No way, I'll win!" Koko exclaims in determination.

Jung Min looks at the girls, "You guys don't even know what the contest is going to be yet, and you're already claiming victory? Pabo!"

"You never know," I say, "girls might have the ability to beat guys."

"Ya! Are you suggesting girls are better than guys?" Jung Min asks.

"We're going to have a noddle eating contest," Hyun Joong suggests, "whoever wins is exempted from cleaning duties today. Whoever loses has to do the grocery shopping," I see something mischievous in my brothers eye, and he looks at Jung Min who temperatures the smiles, "Kyu Jong, go get the noddles."

Seconds later Kyu Jong returns with some bowls, and continues bringing them out until almost everyone had a bowl. I was smile, and I was excited, "Ya! Sunflower, you participate!"

"There aren't enough bowls..."

Jung Min passes her my bowl, "its yours now."

"But that's Jewels bowl."

"Its yours now!"

I glare at Jung Min...he's going back to before!

The bowl appears in front of me, "You participate!" Sunflower says.

"Ya!"

"Yeah Tori," Young Saeng grins, "You participate." (NOODLE EATING CONTEST HERE)

"Alright," Hyun Joong says, "Go!"

We start to eat, but not ten seconds later Jung Min is screaming in my ear, "WHY IS MY SOUP SO STINKEN HOT!?"

"Ah!" Hyun Joong exclaims, slamming his bowl down, "WATER! MUST HAVE WATER!" They jump up and run towards the kitchen.

I look over towards the boys, but they have disappeared into the kitchen. Young Saeng and So Yun exchange glances, both are smirking.

Minutes later Hyung Jun drops his bowl, "I won! I never win!" Suddenly, he grabs me by the shoulders and plants a firm kiss in my cheek. I sit there, my eyes widening. I expected this, I wasn't dazed or anything...but it had been a while since this had happened.

"Ya! You can't kiss her! She's coming shopping with me!" He grabs my hand and pulls me towards the door before Hyung Jun can kiss my cheek again. He pushes my shoes into my hands and pulls me out the door. The last thing I hear form inside is, "Ya! I thought I said no one could touch her without my written permission!"

--------

"Ya! Park Jung Min..."I exclaim, trying balance all six bags at once, "...slow down. I can't keep up with you and hold all these bags."

Jung Min stops for a moment, and angrily grabs three of them, "there, better?"

"What's gotten into you? Why are you acting like this? Have I done something wrong?" I could feel the nerves beginning to rise up. But I had to know, I needed to know.

"Why do you have to let those guys get so close to you?" The accusation is sudden and out there. I wasn't aware of the words he had spoken until I took a few minutes to process them in my mind.

I look at him, I could see the anger...he was rarely angry, "What are you talking about?" I'm confused, what was wrong with being nice to other people?

"First Young Saeng and his octopus arms in the training room, now its Hyung Jun with his fish lips. Are you inviting trouble?" He doesn't look at me.

"Why do you even care?" I glare, "You've been ignoring me since I passed the audition! The only time we spoke properly was for five minutes in the living room in the dorm!" I could feel the tears begin to rise to the brims of my eyelids. I feel alone all of a sudden...who am I kidding, I've always felt this way...he talks to everyone but me...so how was this my fault?

"Ignore you? How can a man ignore you when you flaunt your feminine charms for all the world to see. Now that you are an idol, you have to behave in a moral and upright way. So leave your man-hunting ways at the door!" He almost screams the last sentence.

"I don't know where you get your ideas from..." I could feel anger boiling within me, "...but never have I acted in a way to attract men...you don't even know who I like..." You. I love you.

"Then enlighten me..." he says, making a odd noise with his foot, "...who in the world do you like? Wait...I don't think anyone would like you because you're a player!" He spat. I caught a tinge of something though I couldn't tell what it was. I stay silent, but he continues, "Well you could have fooled me. Don't think you can sleep with the guys in the group, that's a sure way to get kicked out! Then where your dreams of being a star go? Oh I know, you could be a star!"

There's a lump in my throat, tears are slowly starting to fall down my cheeks. I stay silent for a moment, "Do you mean that?" Maybe he was jealos...but was he even aware of his jealousy?

"Of course! I wouldn't want to be caught dead with a player or someone who sleeps with-" I don't give him time to finish, instead I drop the bags and slap him quickly...and then i'm running. why did everyone have to abandon me? I couldn't figure it out! Ever since I was young...I hid my loneliness wit my natural charisma...but as I got older I found that that was fading away. My brother wasn't always going to be there to look after me. I stop eventually, sitting on a swing and propping my head on top of my knee's. And then I cry.

Eventually I don't cry anymore. I lift my head in time to catch a jogger running by, something drops out of their pocket, "Excuse me..." I manager to call, picking up the thing, a piece of paper, from the ground, "you dropped this!" They disappear around the corner, and I look at it, "Its got my name on it..."

I open the piece of paper, and suddenly I feel dizzy:

MUST BE NICE TO HAVE A BIG BROTHER GET YOU INTO A GROUP WHERE YOU AREN'T WANTED. YOU HAD BETTER LEAVE IF YOU DON'T WANT ANYTHING TO HAPPEN TO YOUR PRETTY LITTLE FACE.

What was I going to do?

-----

For ten minutes I take a breather, I had to calm down. Otherwise I'd get everyone worried...I mean, I don't have to tell them about this, right? Make myself look like a bigger baby? 

When I return to the dorms, I don't look at anyone as I rush to my room, but I bump into someone, "Are you okay?" It was So Yun. I apologize quickly, and dart towards my room. I had to be alone.

From my room I catch some of the conversation. I hear So Yun gasp, Hyun Joong read something out loud...it sounded like the note I got. But when I check my pocket, its still there. Someone else must have received one. I don't put the note back in my pocket.

Minutes later So Yun is on her bed in our room, crying also. The girls come in, "Are you girls okay?" Sunflower asks.

"Jewel, what's in your hand?" So Yun asks in between sobs.

"Uh...a letter. I got it tonight. Its no big deal." It is actually, but I don't want to look like a bigger baby...despite crying.

"No big deal?" Koko demands, "either it upset you or something is bothering you. I mean, So Yun just got hate mail and we're worried."

It would look stupid if I said I got hate mail too, "I told you, its no big deal..." I lie. They drop it for now, but I knew this wasn't the end.

Kyu Jong and Young Saeng enter the room. Neither noticed me at first, but for once I didn't care/ "Sunny, are you okay? Hyun Joong's already on the phone with the managers." This reminds me of a time when SS501 was stalked by some mad person...once I had almost been attacked. I shudder at the thought, "Hey..." I see Young Saeng looking at me, "Your crying too? Are you okay?" Kyu Jong sits beside me, giving me a small side hug.

"I'm fine..." I say quickly, trying to ignore my sadness, "nothing to-"

But Jung Min interrupts me when he comes in, "Tori, why are you crying? What did you do Young.." He stops, staring at something behind me. I follow his gaze, against the wall on my bed is a stuffed carrot and horse...Jung Min's stuffed carrot and horse, "YA! Why are my stuffies in here? You even took Mr. Carrot..." I sob louder, seriously, he knew I wouldn't take his stuff!

"Ya! Park Jung Min! Don't yell at her! If you want to yell at someone, go yell at Hyung Jun! He was the one who put it there!"

"That turtle..." He disappears.

The sobs continue to escape, "Are you okay!?" Kyu Jong asks.

Suddenly Hyung Jun runs int the room, hiding behind me on the bed, "You can't get me now Mal!"

Jung Min runs in, stopping and sulking, "That's not fair."

Everyone laughs as he walks out of the room, "It worked!" Hyung Jun grabs my hand, dragging me away from my bed, "Come Tori, let us go embark out into the living room." Kyu Jong lets go of my shoulders. As we get to the door frame, "You okay?"

"Its nothing..." I smile.

Hyung Jun nods, pulling my into the living room, "Hey Mal, what was that again about my death?"

I was beginning to feel better...the familiarity of past interactions make my feel less nervous.

"What did I say about not touching here!?" A voice bellows from the couch. Everything seemed like it was going back to how it once was.
