Nikka's POV

What the f*** am I gonna say to him now?

Do I like him?  Well, let's see:

As a friend - yes.

As someone who comforts me when I'm down - yes.

As a fun person to hang out with - yes.

As eyecandy (sometimes - well damn he's hot!) - yes.

As a brother - no, since he saw me . -__-

As someone who takes care of me and cares about me - yes.

As an idol - yes, since I've admired him for about a year.

As more than a friend.......?  Aish, I don't know how to answer this one.

Curious, I looked at him.  "Do YOU like me?"  I bluntly asked.

Jonghyun oppa blushed and turned his gaze away from me.  It's so obvious that I'm taking it as a yes.  Unconsciously, I smiled a bit at his cute action.

"Exactly how much do you like me?"  I asked him as I stepped closer to him.

That's when he turned his gaze upon me and smiled softly.

"Enough to love you as your new boyfriend."  he answered confidentally.  I blushed in embarrassment and looked away.  There was something in his words that lingered upon my mind.  Thank God for the night sky.

"Are you blushing...?"  He asked me as he laughed nervously.  Screw mankind for creating streetlight posts.

"First."  I mumbled under my breath.

"What did you say?"  Oppa stepped closer to get a good listen.

"You'd be the first."

"I'd be the first what?"  Aish, this boy!

"Boyfriend."  I simply stated and stared back at him.  His eyes glistened with joy and a smile appeared on his face.  Then he smirked.

"No, I wouldn't."  My eyes widened as he said that.  Is he just trying to mess with me?

"Wha-"  Before I could say anything, he pulled me into a hug.

Oppa's lips slowly reach close to me ear and whispers, "I am your first boyfriend."  Sounds cocky, but sweet.  :)

My arms slowly hugged him back, feeling the warmth through his body as the cold wind blew through the starry night.  I must be smiling like an idiot now.

I like Kim Jonghyun - and now he's my boyfriend!

Jonghyun's POV

I must be smiling like an idiot now.

I like Nikka - and now she's my girlfriend!

We're hugging like it's just the two of us in this world - no one else to interrupt.  I like it this way; I didn't want to leave just yet.

Then a few minutes later, a quick flash of light flashed through my eyes.  What the f***?  I opened my eyes and saw that annoying camera boy running away.

I'm calling him annoying camera boy, since I don't know who in the hell the guy is anyways.

Another moment ruiner came.  And it came with a ringtone.

"DON'T STOP!  MAKE IT POP!  DJ BLOWIN`- SPEAKERS UP! ~"  Dammit, Key!  Why you gotta ruin my moments with Nikka?!

I could hear Nikka giggling as she pulled away from the hug.  She raised an eyebrow.  "Key singing Kesha's song as your ringtone?  Nice."  she teased.

I kept mumbling swear words under my breath as I pulled my phone out of my pocket.  Did I mention Key bought phones for everyone he wants to call to, as a special phone service just for him?  What are we, his servants?!

I answered the damn call.  "What the f*** do you want, Key?"  I asked him in a boring tone.

I shouldn't have answered him like that, because now - *sigh*

"WHAT THE F***?!  DON'T YOU USE THAT TONE WITH ME!  WHERE ARE YOU AND NIKKA?!  AISH, I BOUGHT STUFF FOR ALL OF US AND YOU GUYS AREN'T EVEN HERE?!  JJONG, WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER?!"  I flinched and pulled the phone away from my ear.

"Oppa, Jonghyun oppa didn't do anything bad to me.  We followed your advice and went out to eat, since we didn't want to burn the house down with our cooking."  Nikka answered for me calmly.  In Korean.  I was amazed at some of her good pronunciations, but she'll still have to work at it.

"Yeah, Key, plus it's only 6 something in the evening, chill."  I added.

"CHILL?!  YOU'RE TELLING ME TO CHILL?!?!  IT'S FREAKING CHILLY AS IT IS OUTSIDE!!!  AND I DON'T CARE - IT'S DARK OUT!  YOU TWO BETTER COME HERE RIGHT NOW BEFORE I HUNT YOU DOWN MYSELF!!!"  Suddenly we heard Connie's loud voice through the phone.

"Ate!  You better come quick!  Mom and Dad are coming over here to check up on us!"  she said in English.

Nikka's eyes widened.  "What?!  Since when?!"

"They called me just now, but Minho oppa and I made an excuse and said you were tired after a long day so you were sleeping.  Come now!"

Nikka glared at the ground, and the next thing I heard really puzzled me.

"God, I don't want to see that b****..." ...that not only came from Nikka's mouth, it came from the phone as well.

I'm pretty sure that voice was Key's.  Isn't that a bit rude?

Then again, they said it AT THE SAME TIME.  Should I be jealous?  Nah.  Maybe...I should find out what the problem is later.  Did I miss something?

Shaking my head without Nikka looking, I talked on the phone.  "Ah, don't worry - we'll be sure to be there right away!  Bye!"  I hung up the phone and put it back in my pocket.  I grabbed Nikka's hand and entertwined it with mine.

"Come on, let's go before your father kills me!"  I shouted at her.  She nodded and ran beside me, our hands still holding each other.  I couldn't help but smile at the contact.

Yay!  I have Nikka~!

Key's POV

Connie hung up on my phone and gave it to me.  I put it in my pocket and now we were all in a panic.

First off, Tito and that b**** who calls herself as Nikka's mother are coming to check up on us.

Second, it's only 6:25p.m. and Jjong & Nikka are still not here!

Aish, where the hell did hyung take Nikka to - Chinatown?!

I paced back and forth, thinking as I'm watching people in the living room through periferal vision.

Connie keeps groaning and moving around too quickly, throwing immature temper tantrums.  Huh.  I thought Taemin would only do that.  Instead, he's upstairs with Minho, trying to cover the bedroom areas.  What good will that do?

Tasha continually shouts at Connie, telling her to calm down and that Nikka's a big girl now.  Taesun rolled his eyes and scoffed, now standing up  from the couch.

"I'm going upstairs to help Tae and Ho out.  Peace."  He held out a peace sign and walked upstairs.  What good would that do?!

Meanwhile, Danson and Edison are watching the windows to make sure if anyone's coming.  I could hear Amber cooking something in the kitchen for Nikka's parents to comfortably eat.

Aigoo, might as well make sure she doesn't burn anything!

No one's POV

"S***!  The car is here!"  Edison cried out.  Everyone on the main floor of the house rushed to meet him towards the closed door as Danson quickly ran upstairs for no apparent reason.  No one noticed anyways.

Key looked outside from the window to see Nikka's parents walking towards the door.  "Quick!   Someone greet them!"  he yelled to his friends.

Immediately everyone pushed Connie (or more like carried her due to being the shortest one there) to the door.  Edison opened it, revealing Nikka and Connie's parents smiling towards them.  More like Tita was smiling.  Tito was frowning and grumbling a little bit.

To just Key, Tita's smile was plastered - a fake smile only used for socializing with others and trying to make friends, or to Key's mind, alliances in business and money earnings.  To Key, Tito's reaction to them was natural, and he admired the elderly man for that.

"Where is Nikka?"  he simply demanded.  Everyone gulped and slowly pointed upstairs, where they know Nikka is NOT there.

With the speed of an elderly yet strong man, Tito used all his might to quickly walk over to the stairs.  Key plastered a smile and hugged Tita after Connie and Tasha greeted the elderly couple.  "Tita~!  How's it going?" he asked in delight.

Tita genuinely smiled back at him.  "I'm so happy right now!  You and Nikka must be in great progress right now, huh?"  That made everyone in the room freeze, especially Tito on the stairs.

"Love, let's not talk about this now, please."  Tito begged his wife.

"I agree.  I haven't even said I'd go through with it yet.  I said I'd think about it-"

"And that means a yes, right?  Oh, I finally get a son-in-law!"  Tita exclaimed as she clasped her hands together.

Key nervously watched everyone's jaw dropping at her comment.  Tito sighed in frustration, Tita remained giddy and proud, Connie looked like she was about to faint, Tasha held onto Connie's shoulders just in case, Edison looked confused, and Amber - oh, Amber!  Her reaction topped everyone's.

Amber dropped the utensil she was using to help Key cook, looking as pale as ever.  There was a hint of sadness which Key observed through her eyes, but he ignored it and focused on the more important issue - Nikka not being in her room.

Suddenly, Taemin bounced his way through the stairs, now noticing Tito was there.  "Tito~ I missed you!"  he cried out as he lightly jumped on the old man and embraced him in a bear hug.  As soon as he let go, Tito sternly searched through the maknae's eyes.

"Is Nikka upstairs sleeping?"  he asked the young boy.  He knew he would never tell a lie.

Taemin smiled at his friend's father.  "Yep, noona's upstairs sleeping.  She had a light fever a few hours ago, but now she's okay.  She just needs some rest.  It's probably because it's cold out when we were filming, and she forgot her jacket because she didn't want to be late for work."  he explained carefully in English.

Everyone except Nikka's mother looked at Taemin in the stairway with a WHAT-THE-F***-ARE-YOU-TALKING-ABOUT-YOU-KNOW-PERFECTLY-WELL-YOU'RE-LYING-STRAIGHT-TO-YOUR-TEETH face.

Tito nodded.  "Well, can I see her?"  Everyone except Nikka's mother gulped at the question.  Taemin remained unbothered by the whole situation.

"Yes, you can see her now.  Want me to show you to her room?"  Tito nodded and Taemin gestured for Tita to follow them.  She joined them and now all 3 people are walking to the 2nd floor of the house.  A few seconds later, out of curiosity and wondering if the maknae has now lost his mind due to stress, everyone in the main floor scrambled to the stairs and reached to Nikka and Amber's supposed bedroom.

Their eyes widened at Nikka sleeping peacefully in her bed, which was the pink one.

"Wait, I thought Ate hated pink?"  Connie wondered aloud.

Amber turned to the little girl.  "I hate pink as well, so Nikka was so kind to give me the bed with blue sheets."  she explained.  Key couldn't help but smile to himself.  He felt happy knowing Nikka won't totally give up on the color pink.

Nikka and Connie's parents rushed to Nikka's side.  Key grumbled silently in annoyance as he watched Tita pull Nikka in a tight embrace.  A little suspicious, Tito pulled the covers slightly, only to reveal she's already wearing pajamas.  He sighed in relief, erasing all suspicions in his mind now.  Everyone else at the door sighed in relief, now sure that they weren't getting in trouble.

About 2 hours later....

Tito and Tita finally left with ease and reassurance from both Key and Jonghyun.  Jonghyun was found in his bedroom with Minho and Taesun, playing a video game of Super Mario Kart.

As soon as the parents left, Key, Edison, and Tasha grabbed Taemin and Minho by the collars of their shirts.

"SPILL.  NOW.  HOW DID THEY GET BACK IN THE HOUSE?"  they demanded.  The 2min now gulped and shifted uncomfortably underneath their gazes, not wanting to give out EVERY detail of what just happened.

Danson sighed and helped the boys explain what had happened:  (you'll see why they didn't want to say anything, and Danson skipped that certain part. ;)  )

Minho and Taemin quickly got a text from Jonghyun, explaining to them that he has a plan.  The 2min buddies glanced at each other and nodded, excusing themselves to go upstairs and check outside the window.  A few minutes later, they spotted Jonghyun and Nikka running towards the side of the house, holding hands.  Minho and Taemin used the window curtains as a rope and threw the other end to Jonghyun.

Taesun walked into the room when Minho and Taemin were halfway pulling Nikka up to the window.  He decided to help Nikka from the windowsill and pull her in.  After quickly helping Jonghyun next, Danson suddenly bursted into the room.

"Yu Di, your parents are here!"  he exclaimed.

"S***!  What do I  do now?"  Nikka started to panic, but then suddenly she fainted, causing Jonghyun to catch her.

Everyone in the room stared at Taesun's hands in midair, the cause of Nikka in unconsciousness.  Taesun skeptically looked over at the guys.

"What?  She got tense, so I had to help her relax."  he shrugged as if it was nothing.

"Hyung, where did you learn how to do that?"  Taemin asked his older brother.

Taesun grinned.  "Let's just say I'm fully committed to my healer character in the filming project." he briefly boasted.

"S***!  What do we do now?"  Jonghyun was no in a full state of panic, still carrying Nikka in his arms.  Minho began to think , then he snapped his fingers.

"Danson hyung, go set up a video game in mine and Jonghyun hyung's room.  Taesun, go find one of Taemin's video games he keeps in his suitcase.  Taemin, I want you to distract and come up with an excuse downstairs NOW and make it look convincing that you're telling the truth."  Minho commanded the guys.

Everyone did what they were told to do except for Taemin.  "Hyung, what will Jonghyun hyung do?"  he asked Minho.

That's when Jonghyun spoke up.  "I'll change Nikka in her pajamas.  Taeminnie, go downstairs and tell them that Nikka was tired during filming and stupidly forgot her jacket, so she ended up getting a light fever and is in bed now."

Both Minho and Taemin looked at him skeptically.  "Hyung, you're not allowed to change a girl when she's unconscious."

"Yes I can!  I'm her boyfriend!"  Jonghyun blurted out, then covered his mouth quickly as he realized what he just to his dongsaengs.

"WHAT?!"  Not only did the 2min were shocked at the sudden information, Danson and Taesun coincidentally rushed into the room and heard Jonghyun.

"Aish, you guys just go do your jobs!  GO NOW!"  he barked at them, and immediately everyone rushed to what they were supposed to be doing.  Minho went with Taesun and Danson to help set up the system properly and make the bedroom look like the guys have been playing games in there for a while.  Meanwhile, Jonghyun searched in Nikka's bag for her pajamas, then blushed as he remembered this morning.

Despite his urges, he successfully changed Nikka while looking away.  He tucked her in and kissed her softly and tenderly on the forehead.  Jonghyun heard snickering right afterwards and glared at the guys behind him as he blushed a crimson red.

Everyone sighed in relief and altogether sat in the long couch of the sitting room - the secondary room which could be claimed as a living room, too.  Nikka was still sleeping peacefully in her room.

Everyone started to rest in peace on the couch until Connie spoke up.

"Key, why did my mom say that she's happy you're marrying my sister?"

That made everyone tense up and look at Key expectingly.  Jonghyun's eyes widened and turned to look at Key.

"YOU'RE WHAT?!"  He exclaimed, not liking this at all.

Key cringed at Jonghyun's voice.  "Calm down, you monkey!  And I didn't even agree to the whole arranged marriage thing!"  he shouted.

"But you said you'd think about it."  Key glared at Tasha sitting across from him.  Jonghyun caught what Tasha had mentioned.

"WHAT?!  Key, what's there to think about?  It's obviously an arranged marriage - don't do it!"

"But what if I want to?"  Everyone gasped and watched the JongKey argument begin. 

"...I'll go get some popcorn.  You want anything?"  Minho mumbled to Connie.  She shook her head and instead, Tasha and Amber requested extra butter on the popcorn and Coca Cola drinks in the fridge.  Minho walked away quietly and came back with the refreshments.  Everyone shared the refreshments as they continued watching the heated argument.

"What do you mean you want to?!  You can't!"

"Why not, Jjong?!  I can marry whoever I want, and it's none of your business!"

"It is because you're my best friend and she's my girlfriend!"  That earned tons of gasps from the audience aka their friends.

"WELL I LOVED HER FIRST!!!"

"SINCE WHEN?!"

"SINCE I WAS IN MIDDLE SCHOOL!  IT WAS LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT WHEN I FIRST MET HER!"

"....what?  You met Nikka before?"  Everyone raised their eyebrows as they looked at Key.

".....*sigh* yes, we were in Chinatown somewhere in Downtown L.A.  We both spotted the same keychain that we liked, but I sort of argued a bit with her...and called her a fata**.  Then she called me a jerk and walked off..."

"You did what?  And you call that love at first sight?!"

"Yah, it was on my behalf!"

"And what about her?!  You didn't consider her behalf, and instead you just want to marry her now?!"

"Hey, at least I know she's attracted to me!  I overheard her say that I'M her type!"

"Eh? ....that was probably years ago!  She might not like the same you!  She has ME anyways!"

"WHAT?!  YOU THINK YOU'RE BETTER THAN ME?!"

"OH, I KNOW I'M BETTER THAN YOU!  I'M ALREADY HER BOYFRIEND!"  More gasps were heard in the audience.

"Her boyfriend?!  Since when?!"

"Since today!  We confessed to each other already!"  Tasha fainted from hearing those words.  "Omo~ too much information to process!"  she exclaimed, grabbing a handful of her hair and shaking her head in dismay.

Key's face softened to a sad expression, but then was replaced with a confident smirk.

"I'm not giving up still."  Those words were a blow to Jonghyun's heart.

"Key, are you insane?!  She's my girlfriend!"  Key shook his head and wagged his finger in front of his face, as if Jonghyun was a little boy who had said something silly to his mother.

"...you know, maybe I SHOULD accept the proposal."  Jonghyun's eyes widened at his friend's words and blinked several times.

"W-What?"

"Does she even know?"  Connie asked Key frantically.  Key turned to look at her and softly smiled.  "No, not yet, but she'll only learn about the proposal after her 18th birthday party."  he answered, remembering the plans his parents had tried to make for him in the past.

"This isn't  fair, Key."  Jonghyun stood his ground.  "I'm not gonna step aside just so you could marry Nikka.  You've had your chance before and now it's MY turn to love her."

"Then I guess this means war."  Key simply stated before walking towards the stairs.  Jonghyun's angry expression was now replaced with a worried one as he ran in front of Key to block him.

"MOVE.  I WANT TO SLEEP."  Key demanded, trying to push his hyung away.

"No!  You might try to take advantage of her now!  She's upstairs sleeping!"  Jonghyun retorted, and they started having a swearing war and nearly punched each other, if it weren't for Minho and Amber.  Amber held onto Key as Minho held onto Jonghyun.

"OH MY GOD!!! THIS IS TOO MUCH TROUBLE!  JUST MOVE!  I'LL WATCH YU DI!"  Edison cried out and ran upstairs with Danson trailing behind.
