10:17p.m. on Halloween Eve, there was a knock at thehotel room door.  Around that time, everyone was sleeping except for Minho.

Minho stood up to open the door.  In front of the door was Tito with Connie and 3 other girls.  Minho recognized the girls.

"Hey, Tito.  What brings you, Connie, Tasha, Alana, and Abby here?"

The girls squealed at Minho's pajamas.  Connie got annoyed and told them to quiet down, since everyone else is sleeping.  Minho grinned at the girls - mostly at Connie.

You'd think that Connie's father would get angry, but he wasn't even paying attention to Minho's gaze.

Instead, he focused his attention inside the hotel room.

Onew was completely curled up in one of the blankets.  Next to him was Taemin curled up in the other bed's blankets.  Since the 2nd bed didn't have any blankets, Key (in pajamas) ended up glomping Jonghyun in his sleep from his backside.  Jonghyun was in the middle between Key and Nikka, with him hugging Nikka.  Nikka was hugging Jonghyun back in her sleep.

"Ummm.... are they all okay sleeping like that?  Is my daughter okay here?"  Tito asked Minho.

Minho glanced behind him and turned back to Tito.  "Yeah, she's alright here."  he replied.  Tito nodded and turned to the girls beside him.

"Okay, Connie, be sure you're safe here with the rest of your friends, okay?  Stick with Tasha and all them.  Make sure your sister is safe, also."  Tito told Connie in Tagalog.  Connie nodded along with the rest of the girls and said their goodbyes.

After the father left, Minho closed the door and turned to the girls.

"So are you guys staying over?" he asked them.  They all nodded and stared at Nikka with Jonghyun sleeping.

Minho cleared his throat.  "Ahem, well, we have another room for you girls to stay at..."  he mentioned and pointed to a door.  The girls all ran towards the door and opened it to look at the room.

"There's only one bed...." Alana pointed out.

All the girls looked at each other and back at the bed.  Immediately, all 4 of them ran to the bed.  Minho quickly closed the door right before they started to shout.  He took a deep breath and walked towards the lounge chair and sat on it, continuing where he left off on the book.

A few minutes later, he heard the door click open and he lowered his book to find Connie in pajamas already. He tilted his head to the side.

"What are you doing out here?"  Minho asked her.  Connie simply pouted and glared at the closed bedroom door.

Both of them heard a voice from the other side of it.  "I love you, Connie, but I'm sorry~!  I love the bed too much and these 2 already started sleeping... find another place to sleep!"

"Dammit, Tasha..." Connie mumbled underneath her breath.  Minho lightly chuckled and stood up from his seat.

"Come on, let's sleep."  he said as he gestured her towards another room.  Connie's eyes widened and hesitated to follow.

Minho noticed this and rolled his eyes while smiling.  He walked towards the little girl and pulled her arm towards the bed.

"We're not going to do anything bad - just sleep, that's it."  He let go of her arm and laid down on one side of the bed.  Connie followed suit and tried to sleep in a comfortable position.

Fail.  [Note:  What would you have done if you were given an opportunity to sleep next to Minho?]

Minho noticed this and placed Connie's head above his arm across the pillow.

"Go to sleep now. Comfortable?"  he asked.  Connie slowly nodded and drifted off to sleep.

the next morning~

Nikka slowly woke up, and the first thing she saw was Jonghyun's face.

She blinked multiple times and the first thing she says is:

"Am I dreaming?"

Jonghyun chuckled and poked her nose.  "It's 7:32a.m. on a Sunday.  Happy Halloween~!" he chirped up.

Nikka giggled and slowly sat up with Jonghyun.  They both looked at Key holding onto Jonghyun's arm.

"Yeobo~ don't leave me...." Key murmured in his sleep in Korean.

Jonghyun and Nikka chuckled lightly as they slowly managed to slip away from Key and make their way to the kitchen.  There, Taemin (in pajamas) was already done cooking scrambled eggs as a sleepy Onew drooled onto the kitchen counter.  Alana (in pajamas) took a picture of Onew as Abby (in pajamas) helped Taemin clean the kitchen after helping him cook.

After a few minutes of them eating breakfast, Tasha (in pajamas) noticed something.

"Hey Nikka, where's your sister?"  she asked.  Everyone started wondering the same thing.

Taemin stood up from his seat.  "I'll go help you look for her."  he said and went with Tasha to find Connie.

They entered one of the rooms where Key was finally awake.

"Taemin-ah, Tasha, where are you guys going?" he asked them as he stood up from the bed.  [Note:  SHINee talks to each other in Korean.  They only talk in English when being spoken to directly in English.]

"Hyung, we're looking for Connie."

"What?  Connie's here?"

"Yeah, and so is Tasha here, Abby, and Alana."

"When did they get over here?"

"Last night while we were sleeping."  Taemin responded.  Key nodded and mumbled, "I'll go wake up Minho then." and walked towards Minho's room.  Key opened the door and lazily looked in.

"Minho-yah, did you know that - OMONA~!!!"

Sleeping on the bed were Minho and Connie.  Minho's arms are wrapped around Connie's small figure and there wasn't a gap inbetween.

Key's eyes bulged out of their sockets as he froze at the sight.  Taemin and Tasha rushed over to his side at the moment he screamed.

"Key hyung, why did you - OMO~!  MINHO HYUNG!!!"

"CONNIE?!  OHMYGOD!"

The rest of the gang followed the screams and stood at the doorway.

Nikka:  "OHMYDAMN!  Connie?!"
Jonghyun:  "Yeobo~ why're you - EH?!?!?!!?"
Alana:  "Minho and Connie?!"
Abby:  "Did they actually have s**?!"

"....what's everyone shouting for?  They're just sleeping NEXT to each other, not WITH each other."

Everyone stared at Onew with a bucket of fried chicken.  Automatically everyone thought the same thing.

............Taemin and Abby cooked scrambled eggs.......where did Onew get that bucket?

"Mm?  What's everyone doing standing at the doorway?"

All eyes were on the sleepy Connie and wide-awake Minho standing in front of them.  They jumped at the sudden movement.

Connie suddenly bolted into the bathroom.  "Gotta go~!"  she shrieked.

Minho chuckled and smiled at the little girl, but then raised an eyebrow amongst his friends.  They stared hard at him.

"Did you do anything to her?"  Abby asked him.  "...ert." Onew mumbled into his chicken.  Abby glared at him and pulled the bucket away from his grasp.  Onew's eyes widened at his empty hands and glared at Abby.

Minho shook his head.  "Why would I do anything?"

Nikka sighed out of relief.  "Well, what should we do now?" asked Taemin.

"Well, I'm mother's teacher aide for preschoolers on Sunday mornings at church, and they have a Halloween party today, so..." Nikka trailed off, noticing Key flinch when she mentioned her mother.

Key grumbled, murmuring, "I hate that b****..." which no one catched except for Minho.

I better ask about that later...

He eyed Key carefully as a sudden smile crept onto Key's face.

"Since it's a Halloween party...." he trailed off and looked at Nikka from head to toe.  Jonghyun suddenly felt angry and stood next to Nikka.

"How about I help you out, best friend?"  Jonghyun asked her.  She smiled and nodded in reply.  Key felt jealous of Jonghyun but simply shrugged the feeling off, instead smirked at Jonghyun.

10:32a.m. at church's picnic tables

Jonghyun grumbled for the past couple of hours due to a few mishaps:

1.  Evil Almighty Key decided he has to wear the dinosaur costume if he wants to help Nikka with the Halloween preschool party.
2.  It seems that Tita aka Nikka's mother doesn't seem to like his presence much... especially when he's around Nikka.   -__-
3.  The staff that works for the church educational building made weird expressions on their faces as they watched Jonghyun interact with Nikka. o_O

Then again, there are positive outcomes to this:

1.  Nikka dressed up in a kigurumi pajama like the rest of SHINee and Connie.  She grumbled and stated, "I hate pink." which caused hysteria for Key, but laughter for the rest of the gang.  But for Jonghyun, she looked so cute. n_n
2.  She doesn't seem to mind the whispering staff and made time to help Jonghyun set up the picnic tables for the party.
3.  They both had fun during freetime playing with the kids in costumes inside the classroom.  Jonghyun noticed the same boy at Nikka's school hanging around the area, but Nikka doesn't seem to notice.  From the corner of his eye, Jonghyun caught the boy taking more pictures of him and Nikka playing with children.  Jonghyun brushed the suspicious feeling aside, not wanting to cause a scene.

Jonghyun felt different by the time the preschoolers were outside eating and enjoying their sweets.  It was because the wind blew a bit harder and the current breeze blowed behind Nikka.  Nikka's hair stook out from beneath her hoodie, causing her to cry out due to the hard wind.  She turned to look at Jonghyun to see if he was okay, which started the feeling in Jonghyun's chest.

He felt electrical tingles in his chest while watching Nikka's gaze towards him.  Her innocent face formed a smile which brightened her image.  Jonghyun kept blinking and couldn't breath at the sight of her.  The wind blew his hood away from his head and gave him a clearer view of Nikka.

She's so... beautiful.

A little girl dressed up as Snow White came up to Nikka and tugged her kigurumi pajamas.  "Can you play with me, please?  I'm bored."  she wailed out.  Nikka chuckled and carried her into her arms.

So motherly-like like Key.....

Her hoodie blew over and her long reddish-brown hair was exposed.  Jonghyun gaped at her beauty more as she glanced in his direction.  She ran towards him with the girl in her arms and grabbed his arm.

"Let's go, dinosaur!  This girl wants to play~!" she cried out and pulled him towards the playground area right behind the picnic tables.  Jonghyun blushed and had fun with the 2 girls.

Come to think of it, this is what I pictured my life in the future - as a father, playing with his daughter, along with a beautiful mother..... :)

I just realize I might like Nikka.
