For The First Time

"Taemin oppa!" a girl squealed as he passed her by in the hallway. He slightly rolled his eyes and continued his way to his locker.

It was covered in flowers, letters, candies, and other junk. He plucked them off one by one and stuffed them into his locker. He would get around to looking at them eventually. He took out his math book and placed it in his bag.

"Yo Taemin." His best friends Minho and Onew opened their lockers next to him. "Wow. It's only 7:30 in the morning and you already have a dozen confession letters." They laughed.

"Yeah." He sighed. "You want some chocolate?" he offered the a red heart shaped box. "I'm pretty sure they're home made."

"Sweet." Onew smiled and took the box. "Are you sure they won't mind?" he said referring to his fangirls. Taemin shook his head and closed his locker. "You're so lucky. The only gift i received from a girl was a kiss.... i told my mom cash would be better." He sighed as Minho folded over in laughter. "It's not funny."

"So are you trying out for the soccer team?" Minho asked as they made their way down the hall. "Coach said he'd take you into consideration since you're my friend." Minho said proudly.

"I'd love to, but I have a paper that i have to turn in by the end of the week and i haven't even started." Taemin rubbed the back of his neck. "I don't even know what i have to write it on. But it has to do something with art... or was it history?"

Onew chuckled. "Well you can always sign up for baseball with me. Try-outs are next week." Taemin smiled and nodded. "Well then we should get to class, the bell is about to ring any minute and you know how Mrs. Choi gets if we're even a second late."

Taemin was walking back to his locker with Onew. Minho was talking to one of his many fangirls. He, unlike Taemin, loved the attention. Taemin sighed once more as he noticed new letters posted on his locker. Onew smiled as he took a small heart shaped lollipop.

"Whoa dude, you even have girls from the senior class sending you things like these." Onew opened the letter and read it to himself. "They're crazy about you."

"Whatever." Taemin rolled his eyes and put his books back into the locker. "So are you going with me to the library?"

Onew shook his head. "Can't. Minho asked me to cheer for him at tryouts."

"If you don't want to go you can just say so. You don't have to come up with a stupid excuse." He closed his door.

"I'm serious. Apparently there's this kid named Joon who just transfered here and he's really good. He was the top player at his other school. And Minho is nervous... even though he won't admit it." Onew explained.

"What year is this kid in?" Taemin asked.

"Same as us." Onew answered. "He and his sister transferred here this morning. His sister is a senior. I haven't seen or heard a lot about her though."

"How is it that you know all this?" Taemin asked with an amused face.

"I sit next to Luna and Krystal." Onew sighed. "Those two girls talk about everything. And i mean everything. You can ask me anything about a woman's menstrual cycle and i'll know the answer." Taemin couldn't help but laughed. "Hey, you laugh now but when you're mother starts to go through menopause and you have no clue what to do, don't expect me to help you." Onew marched away with his head held high.

"Onew!" Taemin yelled through his fit of laughter. "Yah! I was just kidding!" Onew was out of sight and Taemin had to get to the library. "Aish." He rubbed the back of his head and made his way down the hall.

Taemin let his fingers trail down the spines of the books, tracing over the titles. "What was the name of the book again?" he whispered to himself as he tried remembering the name of the book he had to write the paper on. "Ah." he snapped his fingers the second he remembered he had written it on a paper.

He dug his hand into his pockets searching for it. And smiled as soon as he pulled it out. However, he had no idea where in the world the book was located at. He sighed and looked over to see if anyone could help him. Since there was no one around he had to go up to the front desk and ask one of them to help him find the book.

He stepped up to the front desk and tapped his finger on the paper as he set it down. "Excuse me, can you help me find this book please?" He prayed with all his might that whoever was going to help him wasn't a girl. They always started acting stupid around him and he hated that more than anything. "Excuse me?" he called out again.

"Coming!"

Damn it.

Taemin cursed in his head. Just what i needed.

"Sorry about that. First day here and i'm trying to learn everything in one day." She giggled as she ran up to the front desk. "How can i help you?"

Taemin sighed and didn't even bother to look at the girl. He slid the paper over to her. "That book.... I need it."

The girl stared at him, rather confused about his cold attitude. But she shook it off and guessed it was due to the fact that she made him wait. "This book?" She picked up the paper and read it. "Ah, i know where this is!" she nearly yelled in delight.

Taemin turned to glare at her but the moment his eyes laid upon her face...his heart stopped. It was as if he forgot how to breathe and the only thing he knew how to do was stare at her.

"A lot of kids have been picking up this book." She made her way around the desk. "I guess it's for some paper they have to get done. Would you like me to show you where it is?" Taemin, at lost for words, just nodded his head. "Then follow me." She smiled at him. "There should be at least one or two copies left. Some kids checked them out and others are still reading them i think."

He didn't know what was going on. It was like his brain melted and he couldn't think straight anymore. Never, has a girl ever done this to him before. Never had he felt so....

"Here it is." She smiled and took out the book. "Need anything else?" Taemin shook his head and reached out for the book. "Ok then." She bowed and started to walk away.

"Name...." Taemin mumbled as he finally felt the gears in his brain turning. "Name." he said a little louder. "What's your name?" He finally formed a sentence and directed towards the girl who was walking away.

"Huh?" She turned around and tilted her head to the side. It was the cutest expression he'd ever seen.

"I don't believe i've seen you around school before." He coughed. "I'm Lee Taemin. What's your name?"

She smiled and once again Taemin felt his heart stop. "I'm Im Yoona." She bowed again. "I'm new here, and i got stuck with library duty." She sighed sadly. "But i guess it's the price you pay for coming in late. But in my defense i had no idea where any of the classrooms are and there was no one that would help because, well who wants to help out the new girl?" She rambled on. "So since i was late to three of my classes, they stuck me in here. Don't get me wrong i love the library, but i want to volunteer on my own, not be forced into it." She quickly put her hand over and smiled bashfully. "I talk too much don't i?" Before Taemin even had a chance to answer, Yoona started talking again. "Well i'll leave you to your book. If you need any more help there should be someone in the front desk." She looked at her phone. "It's time for me to leave."

Taemin stopped and stared and her retreating figure. He discreetly pinched himself to see if this was a dream, however, due to the pain coming from his arm, he realizes that this is no dream. And in fact he has met the one girl who made his heart stop and his brain to stop functioning. There was no doubt about it.... He's in love.

"Hey." Onew threw his arm around Taemin. "So how did it go with the paper? Did you get it done?"

"Huh? Oh yeah." Taemin was keeping his eyes open and scanning the hallways for a sign of Yoona. "How was umm.... that thing..... with you and.... Minho?"

"You mean his try-outs?" Onew let go of Taemin and looked around. "Who are you looking for? Minho?"

"Huh?" He looked at Onew. "Oh... yeah. I heard he didn't do so good."

"Are you kidding me? He did awesome!" Onew cheered. "It was amazing. We are so going to win the whole season with Minho and Joon on the team."

"Joon?" Taemin remembered that was Yoona's yonger brother.

"Yeah, you remember the new kid i told you about?" Onew started babbling. "Well it turns out Minho and him have a lot in common. He's a cool kid once you get to know him. And.... hey look there they are." Taemin turned to find Minho walking next to a boy he'd never seen before. "That's Joon." Onew waved as he spoke to Taemin. "Minho invited him to spend the day with us."

"Hey guys." Minho put his bag down and opened his locker. "Taemin this is Joon. Joon this is Taemin."

"Nice to meet you." Joon smiled.

"Yeah...." Taemin wasn't sure if he should ask him about his sister or not. "So you......."

"Yah Joon!" a voice screamed from down the hall. It was a girl. All the boys turned to see who it was. Suddenly Yoona came up and stopped right in front of Joon, completely ignoring the rest of them. She frowned at her brother and held out a paper bag. "You forgot your lunch."

Joon took it from her and laughed. "I thought i left something behind this morning. I just couldn't remember what. Thanks noona."

"Don't thank me and pack your lunch into your backpack." She scolded him. "You aren't going to be able to play very well if your hungry and low on energy." She sighed.

"I know." He rubbed the back of his neck. "Oh noona, i want you to meet my new friends." He motioned to the guys behind him. "This is Minho, he's on the soccer team with me."

"Nice to meet you." Minho bowed.

"And this is Onew and Taemin. I met Onew yesterday at the soccer try-outs. He was cheering for Minho. And i just met Taemin today." Joon smiled.

"Nice to meet you." Both Taemin and Onew bowed with smiles.

Yoona bowed. "Please take care of my idiot brother." Joon slightly pushed her and she just laughed. "I'll see you after school."

"You sure you aren't going to get in trouble today too?" Joon teased. "It's new classrooms." Yoona stayed quiet.

"I can show you where they are." Taemin finally spoke up. All eyes were on him now. "I don't mind."

"That has to be the first time Tae..." Before Onew could finish his sentence Taemin nudged him in the stomach.

"That would be nice." Yoona smiled. "Thank you."

"Shall we go?" Yoona nodded and waved goodbye to her brother. Taemin led her down the halls and in an instant Yoona could feel all eyes were on her. "Wow."

"Something wrong?" Taemin asked his pounding heart was beinging to be too much to handle.

"I don't know if you noticed but..." She motioned for him to look around. "people are giving you the stink eye." Taemin suddenly brust into laughter. "What?"

"That's not for me." he laughed and continued making his way to her first class.

"Well then who else could they...." She stopped walking. "Oh come on!" she yelled and turned to the crowd "Really?"

Taemin stopped and looked back at her. "Yoona-shii." he ran to pull her away.

"What did i do to you guys?" she continued to yell. "What the.... hey i want an answer from them. This is my second day here and i'm already being given dirty looks." she frowned as she was being pulled away by Taemin.

"You didn't do anything." Taemin explained. "It's me."

"I told you!" she exclaimed.

"It's because your with me." he laughed. "I have a lot of.... fangirls." He slightly blushed as he explained it to her. He didn't want to sound to cocky, but how else was he going to explain that the reason that all the girls were looking at her like that was because she was walking with him. "They don't like to see me with... girls."

"I see." she sighed. "Well that's a bummer for you." She continued to look around. "Wow and it's not just girls in your grade. I think i have a couple of classes with those two over there." she pointed at them. "You must be really popular with the girls." she gigged.

"Not really." He shyly replied.

"Modest are we?" she continued to tease. "Well i do hope you and my brother become friends. He has no game with the ladies, but somehow he thinks he does." All Taemin could do was listen to her speak and stare at her every movement. He'd never seen anybody like her. So carefree and... nice.

"This is it." They stopped in front of her classroom. "Your next class will be two classes over. And if you need help for your class after lunch then just let me know and i'll be happy to show you where it is."

"Thank you so much Minnie." she smiled brightly.

"Minnie?" Taemin looked at her confused.

She bit her lip and laughed. "You don't mind that i call you that do you? I have a habit of coming up with nicknames. Like for Joon when he was younger it was Joonie, but now i call him Joon Bug. You get it? But i call him that because he's always bugging me when we're at home." She laughed.

Taemin shook his head and smiled. "No, i don't mind."

"If it helps you can call me Yoong." she said before walking into her room.

"Yoong." He repeated to himself and smiled like an idiot. "Yoong."

He couldn't believe how one girl could turn his world around. Truth be told he'd never had any interest in girls. He always found them to be annoying. The way they followed him around and would do stupid things to get his attention. It was the last thing he wanted in his life. But with Yoona.... she was special.

"She's the girl for me." He whispered to himself and blushed. Now all he needed to do was make her his.

"So Joon." Onew poked around at his food and looked over at Taemin. "Your sister.... she's pretty."

Joon made a face and shook his head. "Not at all."

"Well of course you don't see it because your her brother, but she is." Onew continued to poke at his food. "So.... does she... have a boyfriend?"

Taemin suddenly sat up and paid close attention. "Nope." he answered. "Noona says she hasn't found the perfect guy who makes her heart beat so fast that it feels like it's going to explode."

"I see." Onew's eyes were still glued on Taemin.

"What is she like?" Minho asked suddenly with a smile.

Joon looked at the two of them and narrowed his eyes. "Don't tell me you guys have got a thing for my sis."

"Well could you blame us if we did?" Minho laughed.

"Yah, you already said you had your eyes on Krystal." Onew pushed Minho. "You can't go around changing your mind like that."

"Can too." Minho stuck out his tongue. "Who's gonna stop me?" Then an argument broke out between the two.

"Are they always like this?" Joon whispered to Taemin, who was still thinking about what Joon said.

"Huh? Oh, pretty much." Taemin chuckled as he picked up the chicken from his plate and placed it on Onew's plate. In a blink of an eye Onew let go of Minho's shirt and bit away at the chicken. "Usually it's easy to control the situation. If we're eating then i just hand over my chicken to Onew."

"And what if there's no chicken?" Joona asked amused at how quickly Onew had forgotten his argument with Minho.

"Then i'll bring up sports for Minho." Taemin answered. "It helps to talk about his favorite team."

"I see." Joon laughed and began to eat his food. "Looks like you've got it all figured out." Taemin just nodded and looked back down at his food. "Oh noona?"

"Yo." Yoona walked up to them and sat next to Onew. She smiled at him and he just stared back at her with a mouth full of chicken. She giggled. "Cute."

"What are you doing here?" Joon asked as if she were the most embarrassing person on the face of the earth. "Don't you have friends your own age? Go play with them."

"Sadly little brother i don't." She sighed playfully. "None of the girls will talk to me and i think it has something to do with this morning." She said looking straight at Taemin.

"Sorry about that."

She shook her head. "Don't be. If that's how immature those girls choose to be then it's a good thing i'm not friends with them."

"Well you can sit with us for as long as you like." Minho poked his head out from behind Onew and smiled. Onew continued to sit there and stare at her.

Yoona bowed her head to Minho. "Why thank you. That's awfully nice of you." She looked over at Taemin. "So, about you showing me my next class? Is that offer still open or..."

"No.... i mean yes.... Yes, i can show you to your class after lunch." Taemin fumbled around with his words.

"Great." She took out her lunch and set it out on the table. "I'm starving...." She looked over at Onew and then back at the group. "Is he going to be alright? I think i broke him."

"Let's find out." Minho reached over and tried to take his chicken.

"Yah!" Onew suddenly scream. "I will bite your fingers off if you dare touch my chicken."

"He's fine." Taemin laughed along with Yoona.

"What?" Onew looked around. "What's going on?"

"You spaced out." Yoona informed him and pat down the top of his head.

"Sorry about that." he bowed his head slightly and went back to his chicken.

"So Yoona-shii."

"You can call her noona." Joon added. "She doesn't mind."

Minho instantly smiled. "So Yoona noona." Taemin stared at Minho as he spoke to Yoona. "Do you plan on coming to soccer practice today after school?"

"Yeah, i have to walk Joon bug over here home." He leaned in closer. "Last time i let him walk home by himself he got lost."

"Did not." Joon whined. "I just found a short cut."

"Joon, short cuts are meant to be short. Not take you three hours longer than it would normally take you." She laughed.

"It did not take me three hours..." He was quick to defend himself. "It was more like two in a half." he quietly corrected. "But i found my way home."

"Yeah, because i gave you directions." she shook her head. "This boy has no sense of direction... well except when he's on the field." Joon smiled at his sister's words, though they liked to tease each other, they always watched out for one another. Yoona was always proud of her brother's talent, and Joon couldn't have asked for a better sister.

Taemin stared at Yoona the entire time she was there. He couldn't believe that he was going crazy over a girl. No. Yoona wasn't just any girl. She was perfect. Her eyes met his and she smiled. He quickly averted his eyes back down to his food and nearly choked out of shock. How was it that she was real? He couldn't help but wonder. He sighed and continued to eat his food and listen to the argument that Onew and Minho were having...again.

Taemin was walking the halls. He didn't feel like going to class today, there was a sub today and he knew what all the kids had planned for the poor guy. He figured it would be better if he just didn't show up. He was busy thinking of places he could go when suddenly he heard his name being called. Usually he wouldn't even bother to turn, but he recognized the sweet voice and quickly started scanning the halls for her.

"Taemin-ah!" Yoona smiled and waved her hand at him. "What are you doing out of class?" They met each other half way.

"I could ask you the same question." he smirked.

"Free period." she answered and poked his chest. "Now you answer me. Shouldn't you be in math class by now?"

He nodded. "We have a sub and the class plans to make his day hell. I decided to skip."

"Great!" She grabbed his arm and started pulling him with her. He felt his cheeks started to burn and his heart start to flutter. "Then you can help me with this report i have to do." He didn't protest and walked with her to the library. He frowned the moment she let go of him. "Get a table for us will you." she pointed and ran off into another direction.

Taemin found the perfect spot. It was near a window and away from the small crowd that was in the library at the time. He sat down and waited for Yoona to return. He couldn't calm his heart. This was the first time in the 3 months that he's known her that they were going to be able to spend some time alone. That's when all hell broke lose.

What in the world was he going to talk about? Or should he even talk? He was there to help her with a report so shouldn't he respect her and just stay quiet so she can concentrate? But then why would she bring him along if she wanted peace and quiet?

While all those questions were running through his mind he didn't notice the moment Yoona came back with a stack of books. She stared at him and couldn't contain her giggle any longer. He finally snapped back to reality and looked straight at her. "Sorry i didn't mean to disturb you, but you just looked so cute with that serious thinking face."

And once again his cheeks turned a bright red. "It's fine." Was all he could manage to say. "W-what do you need help in?" He cursed himself for stuttering.

She sighed. "In staying awake." She laughed. "Seriously i need someone to keep me company while i'm doing this because my mind tends to wander and i don't get anything done."

He smiled brightly. "I can do that." She quickly returned the smile and opened the first book.

Suddenly they were laughing hard and talking like there was no tomorrow. He wondered why he was so nervous in the first place. It was easy to talk to Yoona, and that only made him love her more. Yoona's head was once again buried in the book. She decided she would take a couple more notes and then they would head out to find a place to eat. He sat there playing with his thumbs when from the corner of his eye he saw a group of girls just standing there watching him. He sighed and Yoona lifted her head.

"What is it?" She tilted her head to the side. Truly concerned as to why he had just sighed so frustrated.

"Nothing." He shook his head. He didn't want her to know.

"Come on you can tell me." She reached out and placed her hand over his. His heart stopped momentarily.

"It's just..." He motioned with his eyes over to his left and Yoona took the hint and turned to look. "they seem to follow me everywhere. They won't leave me alone and even thought i've told them plenty of times that i'm not interested they insist on..."

In less than a second Yoona's lips were on his. He blinked once. Then twice. And finally realized that this was really happening. That it wasn't his imagination playing tricks on him again. He wasn't dreaming either because he could feel her sweet, warm, soft pink lips. She finally pulled away and smiled. Taemin was still in a daze.

She turned to look. "HA!" She laughed. "They left." she clapped and gathered her things. "I'll go put these back and then we can go. We should find a ice cream shop too because i suddenly feel like having ice cream." Taemin just sat there and watched her disappear.

His fingers traced over his lips. The ones Yoona had just kissed. "Please don't be a dream." He whispered with a smile permantly imprinted on his face. "And if it is.... i don't ever want to wake up."

"You coming Minnie?" She called him over.

"Coming." He quickly gathered his things and ran to catch up with her.

"You two have been awfully quiet." Onew commented before he took a big bite out of his chicken.

"Yeah, my noona is never quiet." Joon raised an eyebrow. "Yah, you broke my noona." He pointed a finger at Taemin.

She laughed and lowered his hand. "He didn't do anything. I'm just not feeling too well." Onew quickly raised his hand to her forehead.

"You're hot." He took his hand back.

"That's gross dude." Joon made a face and pretended to gag.

"No, i mean she's literally hot." Onew rolled his eyes. "I mean she is pretty but that's not what i meant when i said she was hot." He tried to explain so that he wouldn't hurt Yoona's feelings.

"It must have been the late night dip in the pool." She sighed and lowered her head onto the table. "Remind me never to listen to Nicole again when she comes to visit."

"Who's Nicole?" Taemin asked. They were right. Nothing between them seemed to be the same after the 5 second kiss they shared two days ago. But then again they haven't been alone together since then either.

"Our cousin from New York." She answered. "She came for a couple of days, but they sent her back to my grandmother's house."

"Oh." The table answered.

The bell rang and lunch was now over. "Yoona, are you going to class?" Minho asked as he helped her up. Taemin was quick to secretly glare at his friend.

She sadly shook her head. "I'm going to head over to the nurse's office. Maybe she has something to help me finish the school day."

"I'll walk you." Minho offered. "I'm going that way anyways." She nodded and bowed to everyone as she left.

"Hey i'll catch up with you guys later." Joon patted them on the back. "Yah Mir! Where's my money!"

Taemin and Onew were left. "I didn't even get to finish my chicken." Onew sadly said as he dragged his feet out of the cafeteria. "Hello? Taemin?"

Taemin was far from paying attention to Onew complain about his chicken. He couldn't help but think about Minho and Yoona... together. He knew Minho was popular for flirting with girls. He could get any girl he wanted with just a wink of an eye and that stupid half smile of his. But why Yoona?

SMACK!

"Oww! What the h..."

"That's what you get for not listening to me when i'm talking to you." Onew pouted. "How dare you ignore me and my chicken rant?"

"Sorry." Taemin rubbed the back of his head. "I was just..."

"Thinking about Yoona?" He cut him off.

"Wh-what?"

"Don't play dumb Tae, i know you." He wagged his finger at his friend. "Since the first time we were introduced to her you had that love struck look." He laughed. "To be honest i never thought you would fall in love or..."

"Who said i'm in love with her?" Taemin defended.

Onew stepped closer to Taemin. Their faces inches apart and staring each other straight on. "Your eyes." He answered and took a step back.

Taemin looked away and said nothing. There was no use in lying to Onew. Though his friend was goofy, clumsy, and a chicken addict... he was smart. Onew could be serious too.

"Don't worry my love, we'll be together once school is over." Onew spoke to his chicken in the container.

But serious Onew never lasted too long. "You think Minho..."

"No." Onew was quick to answer. "I think he's just pressuring you to make a move. But if you don't hurry then he might." He sighed. "Yoona is a pretty girl. She's smart, funny, and weird.... in a good way." He laughed. "I would like her if i didn't know your feelings for her." He placed his hand on Taemin's shoulder. "Don't wait too long Tae."

"She's the first girl to make me feel like this." Taemin smiled. "Crazy."

Onew shook his head. "Don't tell me." he started to walk away. "Tell her."

Taemin knew his friend was right. He needed to make his move quick. There was no way he was letting the girl of his dreams, the girls that he was so sure was made for him, slip away. He had to make him move... Now.

>>A week later<<

Joon invited the gang to spend the night at his house since their parents were out of town. The plan was that they would stay up all night, play video games, watch old sport clips, and do a couple of prank calls to the their teachers. Taemin was there early... too early. But Joon had asked him to come early to help him get a couple of things for the night. Onew and Minho were busy so Taemin was the only one left.

He was about to ring the door bell when it suddenly opened. "Oh hey." It was Yoona. She looked like she was going out.

"Hey is Joo..."

"Come on." She grabbed his hand and pulled him with her. "You can come with me to go buy junk food and a good movie." She smiled. "I'm sure Joon won't be too at me for taking you."

"Y-you're going to be here too?"

"Well it is my house." She laughed. "But yes, yes i will be staying the night. No need to worry Minnie." She squeezed his hand tighter. "I'll be spending it all in my room. That's why i'm buying as much junk food as i can carry, and movies."

He said nothing and continued to follow her to the small store a couple of blocks down from her house. She made him hold the basket while she filled it with sweets, and all kind of things most girls would be afraid to eat, because they were watching their figures.

"This is getting kind of heavy." He laughed as he grabbed the basket with two hands.

"Oh let me take it." He was about to protest but when he saw how easily she lifted it he instantly felt ashamed. "They don't call me Him Yoona for nothing." He laughed. "Yah, don't laugh." She lowered her head in embarrassment. "My father said it was cute to be strong."

Taemin nodded his head. "It is." You are. "Is this it or are you going to get more?"

She looked down at the basket and then looked around the store. "I think i have everything i want?"

"Are you sure? I think you missed a couple of items over there." Taemin teased. "You nearly took the whole store."

"It's not my fault i have a healthy apetite." She shrugged her shoulders. "You should really think about eating more. You as skinny as a stick."

"So are you." he fought back, biting back his laughter. "I don't know where you put it all."

"Hey look..." She suddenly pointed up to the roof.

"What?" Taemin quickly looked up and scrunched up his face. "I don't see.... Yoona?" She was gone. "Yoona?"

"Over here." She was at the cash register. "Help me with the bags." He in air and walked over to her. "I can't believe you fell for that. It's the oldest trick in the book." She laughed as she handed him bags. "Honestly Minnie i thought you were smarter than that."

"That's because no one over the age of 10 does that anymore." Taemin held back his smile.

"Aish now you sound like Joon." She rolled her eyes and grabbed the last couple of bags. "Come on let's get home before Joon kills us both." Taemin nodded and followed after her.

"Are you sure this is going to last you all day?" Taemin asked taking a look at the bags. "Judging by the way you eat i say it will only last you a couple of hours."

"Yah." She hit his arm. He laughed and shook his head. However, his laughter was cut short when Yoona linked her arm with his. "And all this time i thought you were a nice boy."

It was Taemin's turn to pout. "I am."

"Where the hell have you been?" Joon stood in front of the door with his hands on his hips. "I have been worried sick. I thought you were hurt somewhere."

"I'm fine." Yoona rolled her eyes.

Joon looked at her and frowned. "I wasn't talking to you." He pointed to Taemin. "I'm talking to him."

"I helped Yoona get some junk food." Taemin explained, while Yoona exploded in laughter and walked pass the two.

"Well now you're going with me." Joon grabbed his coat. "We have lots to get before the other guys get here, so we have to hurry." He opened the door. "YOONA WE'LL BE BACK!"

"NEH!" she yelled back. "BE CAREFUL!"

"NEH!" Joon motioned for Taemin. "Come on let's go."

The night was filled with laughs and the occasional bickering from Minho and Onew. The plan was to stay up all night. They even bought energy drinks and ice coffee to keep them up. Yet Taemin found himself sitting in the middle of the sleeping bunch. He tried hard to keep them up but in the end one by one the fell asleep. He sighed. He wasn't tired at all. Truth be told he was anxious. How could he sleep when the girl of his dreams was under the same roof as he?

He looked over at Onew who was cuddled up next to Minho. His hyung's words echoed in his mind. Taemin remembered how he was sure that he would make his move soon on Yoona but never really did. He would always manage to chicken out at the last second. There were plenty of times when he was so confident that today was the day he would tell Yoona how he felt, but she would always do or say something that would make his heart flutter and in the end it all became too much for him to handle.

He got up and headed towards the bathroom to wash his face. He needed to calm down if he wanted to get some sleep. Staying up by himself wasn't fun at all. He opened the door to the bathroom when the light from a room caught his attention. Then he heard her sweet laughter.

She's awake?

Taemin didn't even have time to doubt whether he was right or wrong, because the door opened and Yoona appeared. "Oh, you guys are still up?" She asked.

"Uhhh, no it's just me. The rest of the guys fell asleep." he answered. "Onew hyung tried his best to stay up but in the end... well he fell asleep next to a box of chicken and Minho." he chuckled lightly.

She giggled. "I was just on my way to get a glass of water." She stared at him. "You want to join me? I'm watching a Japanese horror movie."

He was slightly confused. "But i just heard you laugh."

"Oh, that's because... well they made me laugh. The girl was crying for a dumb reason." she laughed as she remembered. "Anyways if you want you can join me. I still have a couple of movies to watch and i'm not falling asleep anytime soon." she laughed as she walked pass him.

He smiled and followed after her. She handed him a can of soda and grabbed one for herself as well. Then they headed back to her room. She sat on the bed and he sat on the floor with his back leaning on the bed. "Did you just buy scary movies?" He asked.

"No." She answered. "I watch scary movies first, and then i watch romance or comedy at the end."

"Smart."

"Yup." she handed him the bag of chips. "I've prevented many nightmares this way." He chuckled lightly as they continued to watch the movie.

Somehow they forgot about the movie and started talking. They talked about everything and anything. They laughed and cried, but only from laughing so hard. And finally Yoona fell asleep. It was close to morning and Taemin thought it would be best if he went back into the living room with the rest of the guys and sleep for a couple of hours. He got up from the floor and looked over at Yoona's sleeping figure.

"How can it be possible that even when you sleep you look like an angle?" he whispered with a smile. And without another word he quietly left the room and headed back to the living room.

"And you didn't confess?" Onew hit his friend on the chest. They were sitting at a table in the library. Taemin sighed and laided his head on the table. "Why didn't you confess?"

"Because..." He was scared, that's why. "I've never been through this before."

"There's a first time for everything." Onew shook his head in disbelief. "I honestly don't understand what goes through that little head of yours."

"We kissed." he had been keeping this from his friends. Onew's mouth dropped. "Well she kissed me." Again Onew managed to open his mouth even more. "But it wasn't... she was doing it so we could get rid of some girls that were following me."

"You kissed." Onew was still in shock. "She stole your first kiss?" Taemin slightly blushed and nodded. "Dude you have to tell her."

Taemin sighed. "I know... but...." He wouldn't admit it out loud but he was terrified. Of what? Rejection. He loved Yoona. And it would kill him to know that she didn't feel the same way he felt about her. Not to mention that nothing would be the same after that.

"Minho just sent me a text." Onew looked at his phone. "Joon and him just got out of practice and they're planning to go to the arcade. Let's go." They stood up and headed out to the field. The walked down the steps onto the soccer field where Joon and Minho were kicking the ball back and forth. "Oh isn't that Yoona?" Onew pointed over to the girl handing Joon and Minho a water bottle.

Taemin stared as he watched Minho whisper something into her head, causing her head to fly back with laughter. Something he had caused a couple of nights before. He balled his hands into a fist and followed behind Onew. Joon kicked the ball over to Onew and smiled.

"Finally, we've been waiting for you guys." Joon smiled as he picked up his bag. "So are we going or not?"

"Let's go!" Onew raised his fist in the air. The group took a couple of steps and stopped when the noticed someone wasn't following.

"You're not coming along noona?" Joon asked looking at his sister.

She shook her head and gave him a faint smile. "I have things to do back home." She looked down at her feet. "I got stuck with a ton of homework, and a report."

They all sighed. "I'll walk you home." Minho suddenly offered. All eyes were on him now.

"What?!" Joon looked at his friend. "You were the one who insisted we go..."

"You don't have to." Yoona smiled and shook her head. "I can walk home on my own. You can go ahead and go to the arcade."

Minho smiled his charming, heart-melting smile and shook his head. "You can't walk alone Yoona noona." He reached for her bag, but a hand suddenly stopped him.

"I can take her home." Taemin stared straight into the eyes of his friend as he took the bag from him. "You were the one who wanted to go to the arcade so you should go." Minho slowly took a step back and nodded.

"Let's go guys." Minho turned his back and walked next to Onew and Joon as they waved goodbye.

"Thanks." Yoona said. "But you really didn't have to..."

"I like you." Word vomit. It just came out of his mouth without him even thinking about it.

"W-what?" Yoona wasn't sure she heard him right. The wind was pretty strong so... she wanted to make sure she was hearing him right.

Taemin looked up at her and squeezed her bag a little tighter in his hands. "I.... I like you." He repeated.

Yoona wanted to smile but first she wanted to know something. "Why?" She asked.

He looked down at his feet and thought of how to word his feelings for her properly. "I don't know." She frowned, disappointed with his answer. "Because your the first girl to ever make me feel this way."

She tilted her head to the side. "How?"

"Like... Like..." It was hard to explain but he had to try if he wanted to get everything off his chest. "Like.... I can't think straight when i'm around you. You smile at me and it's like my heart stops beating for a while." He continued. "You bring me joy like no one ever has. You weren't like other girls."

Yoona smiled. "That's good to hear." She giggled.

Taemin chuckled. "It was like you were made for me." he stared straight into his eyes. "I loved you the first time i saw you." he admitted, causing Yoona to blush. "You.... You are just.... God this is so hard to explain. I..." He didn't have time to finish his sentence because he was silenced with a quick kiss from her.

She smiled and held his hand in hers. "Yes." She said. "I'll be your girlfriend." Taemin smiled brightly and squeezed her hand. He felt complete now, because he had everything he could ever want right next to him.
