Jonghyun's POV

I woke up to a noisy Key complaining in the bathroom.  I hear the water running - eh, probably taking the shower. I slowly sat up and realize I'm on the couch.

Oh wait, I fell asleep here with - Nikka!

I turned to my left and sighed in relief, watching Nikka comfortably sleeping beside me on the couch.

She looks so cute like that....

A sparkling item around her neck caught my attention.  It's a pendant of a key. Where did she get that?  I've never seen her wear one before...

My mind snapped to the only explanation - Key!

Didn't last night he said that he wanted to go shopping? Wait - did he buy that for her?

It looks expensive, plus he already bought her a phone!  Makes me look like a bad.... friend. That's right, I can't claim her as my girlfriend yet. Awww~ this !  I gotta see if she likes me back!

Hmmm.....what are the other guys doing?

I slowly stood up from the couch and stretched as I started walking into the kitchen.  On the fridge door, there were a few sticky notes pinned up by refridgerator magnets.  I glanced at each note carefully.  Well this answers my question.

Yeobo~ I'm going shopping with Amber since YOU were too busy sleeping yesterday to even take me!  Hmph!  Even now you're sleeping!  Oh well~ I made breakfast for you and Nikka.  Let her sleep some more because I actually took her shopping with me last night - and man, is she pissed!  So anyways, I won't be back until 6p.m.~ Bye~ AND DON'T DO ANYTHING BAD TO NIKKA. - Key

Jonghyun hyung - Taemin and I are going to help train Connie and Tasha, since they're already with us here on this trip.  They'll be coming with us also to go filming today for our scenes.  -__- I can't believe the director told me and Taemin that we'd be having 2min moments in the show!  Can you believe that?!  Aish, anyways, it's to save our a**es, so this is what we get, I guess.  Taemin's pretty much shocked over it, but the girls are teasing us as I continue to write this note.  We all won't be coming back until 7p.m.  Take care, AND DON'T DO ANYTHING BAD TO NIKKA. - Minho

p.s.= just wanted to copy Key's note. kekekek~

Jonghyun oppa, please take care of my sister. :P  Sure, she's a pain, but I really don't want her to get hurt.  And yes, I can write in Hangul.  =__= Just make sure she uses her inhaler if she can't breath and PLEASE IF YOU RUN OUT OF KEY OPPA'S COOKING, BOTH OF YOU ORDER TAKE OUT.  Oh, and since I'm right now about to be the last person leaving this place, I'm making you and my sister in charge of telling everyone that they're invited to the Thanksgiving dinner with our family (only the close friends).  Thanks.  :) - Connie

Hyung, it's Taesun-sshi.  I'll be filming with Minho-sshi and Taemin today and then I'll be out - I found a date! :D SCORE!!! I'll be coming home around 8p.m. ;) DON'T DO ANYTHING BAD TO YUDI-SSHI.

P.s.= I wanted to copy Key hyung's note, too. :) heheh~ Everyone thought I left the place also.

Aish, why does everyone think that I'm gonna do something bad to Nikka?!

Freakin` Key!  Dammit, it's his fault!

Shaking my head, I walked towards the food on the table.  Huh.  Never had breakfast like this before.  I then realized I sorta smell from yesterday, since I just crashed onto the couch and didn't change into my pajamas.  I shrug and head for the bathroom.

I'm taking a shower before I eat.

Nikka's POV

I slowly woke up to a nice living room.  I sat up and took in my surroundings.

...where the f*** am I?

Oh wait - last night's memories are getting to me now.

....let's see....Jonghyun oppa and I crashed on the couch after a long day....woke up to Key oppa forcing us to go shoppping with him...I ended up going alone with Key oppa.....DAMN THAT MOTHER F***ER SHOPS TOO MUCH!

And then.....he bought me a necklace.  A key necklace.  Something that I actually like.  (No offense to the pink phone.)

The key somewhat reminds me of that one pretty object that the jerk and I were glaring at each other over.  He was pretty cute... I wonder where that guy went?

Snapping out of my thoughts, I realize that I crashed on the couch again after shopping with Key oppa.  So I didn't get to change into my pajamas. :(

Where's Jonghyun oppa?

I stood up and searched throughout the big house, finally laying my eyes on one bedroom.

I bet it's got a nice bathroom.  I'm gonna go wash up, then go look for Jonghyun oppa, wherever he is.

Jonghyun's POV

Damn!  I forgot to get clothes for today!  I only have a towel here.  Oh well, I should just get the clothes in my suitcase after getting out of the shower.  I turned off the shower and stepped out of the tub.  I reached for a towel from the rack, and that's when the door opened.

My eyes widened as I saw Nikka walk into the bathroom.  Dammit, Kim Jonghyun, move!

I froze there standing as Nikka scratched her bedhead hair and looked up, finally at me.  Her eyes widened at my body and both our faces turned red.

"S-Sorry!"  she stammered and quickly left, shutting the door behind her.  I quickly grabbed the towel and wrapped it around my waist.

Damn!  She saw me !

Nikka's POV

Damn!  I saw him !

And he's fine!  That's the first time I saw a guy's f***ing body!

WAIT.  WHAT AM I THINKING.

HE'S NOT ONLY MY IDOL, BUT MY BEST FRIEND AS WELL.

BUT DAMMIT - HE'S GOT A TIGHT A** BODY!!!  THOSE ABS....MMMM......YUMMY......

I heard a rumor at school that Asian d***s are small.

HIS WAS F***ING HUGE! O.O  .....OH MY GOD I'M GETTING JUST RELIVING THAT IMAGE IN MY BRAIN.

I backed away from the door and accidentally tripped over a suitcase, causing me to fall backwards onto the bed.  Whatever, I need the rest.

Suddenly, I hear the bathroom door open.  I rested on my elbows as I bent up to look at a blushing Jonghyun oppa - in a towel!

Dude, he's in a towel!

His hair is newly wet from the shower, a few drops of water trail down from his neck down to his chest, then his abs.....

"Yah, stop drooling already!"  he lightly chuckled at my reaction.  I could've sworn I felt my jaw drop and I just left it hanging there as I continued to stare.

Oppa's cute when he blushes.  "Oppa, you're cute when you blush, you know that?"  I blurted out, still leaving my jaw dropped afterwards.

He blushed an even darker shade of red and looked away, but then he smirked and looked me in the eyes.

Uh-oh.

He walked closer to me slowly, and bent down over the bed to where I was, causing me to fall back off my elbows resting and now my back is fully meeting the bed.

Oh mother of Lord.

Jonghyun oppa leaned in closer, and each time I keep trying to back off, but then suddenly his left arm trapped me, preventing me from moving any further away.

Crap.

He leans even more closely and....*snap*.

He closes my jaw shut with his right hand, making me blush like never before.  His hand then outlines my jaw, biting his lip in the process.

"Have you been losing more weight?"  he softly asked me.  I just shrug.

"C-Can you g-get off m-me n-now, p-please?"  I asked him.  Damn!  Just had to stutter, huh?!

He laughed and finally got off of me, giving me the opportunity to quickly scramble to the bathroom and lock it.

Oh my Damn, that was close!

I slid down onto the bathroom floor, my back leaning against the door.  My hand touched my face - felt like my cheeks were on fire!

I just realize maybe, JUST MAYBE, I might like oppa....  I shook my head wildly and quickly undressed, stepping into the tub and turning on the shower.

I just like skinship, that's all.  After all, at school, around my "friends", I'm #1 queen in skinship. :)  Yeah, that's it.

But what if I DO like him...?

Jonghyun's POV

8:37a.m.  That's what the clock says.

What a morning.

I just finished changing in clothes right now.  I started right after I heard the water running.

I sat on the bed, my back facing the bathroom door.  My hand rubbed onto my now dry hair.

Man, what was I thinking?!

That flirting thing I just did made me turn on!  Why the hell did I go close to her?!

Aish, now she'll think I'm weird and stay away fom me!  Moreover, with our age difference, it's like I'm some sort of pedofile.  Aigoo~ now I see why Key and everybody else wrote those notes!  They all know I love skinship and I'm the king of this!

I continue to look at the floor and sit in silence.  I was too concentrated into my thoughts that I wasn't able to hear the bathroom door open and realize that Nikka left her change of clothes on the other side of the bed.

All I felt was the bed moving.  Curious, I spun around and my jaw dropped.

Let's just say Nikka really did lose most of her baby fat.  My eyes widened at the sight of her trying to grab the clothes WITHOUT A TOWEL.

DUDE, SHE DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE I TURNED AROUND.

That's when I felt my hand move around a cloth-like material.  I quickly looked down on my hand.  I had the only towel that was in the bathroom.

OH F***.  SHE'LL KILL ME!

Right before I thought of throwing the towel to her quickly and yelling at her to run to the restroom, I just sat there gawking at her.  Oh man, I feel like a pedo.

She was moving quickly and trying to find a towel underneath her clothes, but to me she was moving ever so slowly.

Nikka looked up and - OH S*** SHE LOOKED UP!

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

She screamed as she shut her eyes and hid behind the side of the bed.  I quickly threw the towel right at her, mumbling a "Sorry...", and fled downstairs to eat Key's breakfast.

Damn, that was EMBARRASSING!!!

9:07a.m., and Nikka walks into the kitchen slowly, glancing at the sticky notes on the fridge.  She went closer to read the writing.  Then she glared at me.

Wow, I'm in deep s***.

......................................................

So why aren't I backing off to give her space or something?

Because - have you seen what she's wearing today?  Man, she's like too cute for words!

Nikka knocked the back of my head with her fist as she sat down beside me and ate her breakfast.

...what?  Dude, she's acting as if - *GASP* SHE'S TRYING TO ACT LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED!

In a way, I'm relieved, but I'm hoping that she considers liking me...even if it means she's just attracted to my body.

O.O OH MAN I GOTTA STOP.  I SOUND LIKE A PEDOFILE EACH TIME I THINK LIKE THIS!

Okay, new plan!  Find out if she likes you~ for you!  AHA!  I got an idea! :D

"Let's go out today~!  Just the two of us!"  I exclaimed cheerily at her.  She looked at me with food stuffed in .

"ARESHYOUFUDGINGKGIDDINGMEH?"  she asked with full.  I rolled my eyes at her.

"Aish, Nikka, eat properly!"  I scolded her and took a napkin beside me.  "And don't talk with your mouth full~" I began wiping the corners of as she properly chewed and swallowed her food.  The corners of my mouth raised, forming a small smile on my face.

After we were done eating, we walked out of the house and onto the sidewalk, taking pictures of each other and the sights around us.  An old lady passed by us giggling and she commented on how good we look together.  "My, oh my, what a cute couple!" she complimented us in English.  I grinned and handed the old lady our camera.  "Could you please take a picture of me and my girlfriend here, then?  It's our first time visiting this city."  I requested from her with my best English.  From the corner of my eye, I could see Nikka's cheeks turning red.  Yes~!  Still possible that she likes me!

After the old lady kindly took pictures of us and handed back our camera, we continued sightseeing.  Do you know what a relief it is to not once get bamboozled by papparazzi and fans?  Yeah~ I get to wear casual clothes and not try to hide myself!  No worries!  I get to spend valuable time with the one I love~!

We walked by a place where there was so much traffic!  Well, of course there'd be traffic when the street is designed like that!

Finally, we found a place to eat and walked into an Italian restaurant, where we ended up buying spaghetti, ravioli, linguini, and lasagna for lunch.  :)  We deserved it - we walked for 3 hours just to find somewhere to eat!

Because of this exhaustion, I decided to pay all this with Onew hyung's credit card.  Hehehe~!  Hey, he only uses this credit card for CHICKEN. -__-  Let's get this baby to be useful for once!

We both ate at the steps of this place with a heart on it.  Hmmm.... I'm making a mental note of us coming here later. ;)

Eating spaghetti together was too intimate~!  Wooowww it was like from that movie Lady and the Tramp when the dogs eat spaghetti noodles until the point where they were munching on the same string and got closer and closer until SMACK!  LOVELY KISS~!

That was me and Nikka eating, except for the last part.  Damn, she's such a tease!

Right before our lips met, she bit the other end of the string and slurped it in .  That left me groaning for more, leaving her to laugh like a maniac.

Her laugh can be a bit annoying, but it's still one of the things that I love about her. :)

Then came the next part - sneaking onto the set to watch 2min moment.

Oh yes, we both know where everyone's filming at, and Minho & Taemin are filming at this location.

We snuck behind the bushes and blended into the environment squatting still as we watched the scene before us.

Min Hao (Minho) guided Tai Min (Taemin) through the garden, having fun and enjoying each other's company until Min Hao accidentally trips and falls into the lake.  Tai Min got scared and tried to look for rescuers, but no one was around.

[in Chinese] "It's my fault!  Min Hao wanted to make me feel comfortable around him, so he probably chose this place out where it's secluded from any strangers around...."  he wondered aloud.

Seeing no choice, Tai Min sighed and jumped into the lake.  He found Min Hao and pulled him up above the surface of the water.  Min Hao was found unconscious as soon as Tai Min managed to drag him on land.  He quickly panicked and remembered his CPR training.  He turned red as he slowly bent down over Min Hao's body and.....

Unexpectedly, Nikka didn't squeal looking at the sight - she was just grinning. I was the one who squealed.  Loudly.

Nikka spun to look at me with the what-the-f***-did-you-just-do look. "CUT!  WHO THE HELL SQUEALED LIKE A FANGIRL?!  I THOUGHT THERE WAS NO FANGIRLS LIKE I REQUESTED NOT TO HAVE AT THE SITE!"  the director yelled out.

Nikka & I gulped and looked at each other. We ran like hell out of that location before they find us.

Lastly, we had early dinner at a nearby restaurant.  English - so we had these types of meals on our plates.

Afterwards, we left to look at the early night sky due to daylight savings during the month. I looked at my watch.  "It's 5:42p.m."  I reported.

"Oh no!  We gotta go back before 6p.m.~!"  she shouted as she turned around.  I stopped her by holding onto her hand.

"Nikka...."  I started out.  Damn, I gotta say it!  Can't hold it in anymore!

Nikka looked at me in the eyes.  God, they're mesmerizing!

".....Do you...like me?"

Her eyes widened.  Dammit, say something!  My heart can't take anymore of this!
