5mtm - TEASER_4 "Handle me with care... You are making a new me." Park Kyung when where what how Kyung hummed to the beat of the song that was playing in Myoung's car, tapping the steering wheel every once in awhile. Every so often he would glance at his companion and smile at her, recieving an equally bright smile in return. As the two drew closer to her apartment, Kyung reached over and grabbed her hand.  Miyoung smiled at his touch, a warm and fuzzy feeling taking over her. Her heart thudded loudly in her chest, Kyung usually wasn't this touchy. It had made her hope that maybe, finally, they would get out of this 'some' relationship.  Miyoung squeezed his hand and grinned playfully, "Hey Oppa, how mad do you think Jiho Oppa is right now? I bet he's eating cake and screaming about how unfair the world is."  Kyung laughed in response, intertwining their fingers as he stared at the road ahead. "He'll get over it. Probably. But speaking of the jerk, you looked surprised when he mentioned Kae and GD Hyung. Did she not tell you?" Miyoung frowned and drew invisible circles over his hand. Her touch felt nice, he noted, but that was besides the point. "She didn't tell me. Which is why I'm worried." Miyoung shook her head, "I just hope she's okay." Kyung was quiet as he parked the car, but as he opened the door for his companion with an extravagant bow and an "after you my lady," he brought up the topic once more. "Why wouldn't Kae be okay?" Miyoung sighed as they slowly walked side by side, trying to stall their inevitable parting. "Well...Jiyong Oppa and her had a thing for awhile, but it didn't end very well for either of them." Kyung watched her cautiously - Miyoung wasn't necessarily hard to read, but he had a sort of sixth sense to her emotions. "Hey," he nudged her shoulder playfully and threw a smile, "So if she has a thing for crazy idol rappers with lots of tattoos then she and Jiho will get together in no time!" She laughed and shoved Kyung gently, his attempts to cheer her up never failed. The almost-a-couple-but-not-really-a-couple finally made it to the front of Miyoung's apartment; the two were reluctant to move any further. Miyoung turned to look at Kyung, suddenly realizing something. Her brow furrowed, "Wait, how are you going to get home if we took my car here? Doesn't Jiho Oppa have the car?" Kyung shrugged, smiling happily. "I can just walk. Or I'll call a taxi." Miyoung shook her head, "It's not safe for you to walk home right now, why don't I call Jiho Oppa to come pick you up.." "Don't worry about it sunshine," Kyung laughed and tapped her nose gently. "I can make it home alone."  He paused, as if contemplating something important, before he leaned in towards Miyoung's cheek when a new voice yelled, "EW COULD YOU NOT HYUNG? GET A ROOM." Kyung froze - pulled back and turned away from Miyoung, embarassed. The two didn't need didn't need to turn around to know who's the voice belonged to. Kyung grit his teeth and proceeded to yell back at the newcomer, obviously annoyed. "WE'RE KIND OF IN THE MIDDLE OF SOMETHING HERE." Jiho jogged up to his friends, scoffing. "Now is that really the way you should be acting? Especially after I came all this way to come pick you up?" Miyoung sighed and pat Kyung's arm, equally as embarassed but used to Jiho's constant interruptions. "Anywayssss, where's Kae?" His whole face brightened at the mention of Kae, making Miyoung forget her embarrassment and smile at him. "I'm not exactly sure, but she should be coming home soon..." She pulled out her phone and looked at the clock. 8:22. She looked back up at the two, smiling. "But if you really want to see her then I'll send her a text to come home and you can wait upstairs with me!" Jiho's jaw dropped - firstly at the fact that Miyoung was so trusting as to let two boys in her home by herself, and secondly because he would finally get to see what their apartment looked like. Kyung was also taken aback for the same reason as Jiho, unsure if it would be okay.  Oh my gosh Kyung get it together it's not like you're going to move in with her, you're not even dating. ...though you should be.   Miyoung nodded and bounced towards the elevator, excited to show them around. "Come on guys," she called, "hurry!"  The two boys scurried after her, excited and nervous for no valid or apparent reason.  Not once in their years of friendship had they stepped inside the sacred space known as Miyoung's and Kae's apartment - which to Kae was strictly off limits because "Miyoung is too young to have boys over and frankly I don't want you touching my stuff," - but when they stepped off the elevator and into their home, they couldn't even begin to describe what they were seeing. As Miyoung began to settle in, Jiho and Kyung were left at the front door, gaping in shock. The room that they were currently standing in Jiho assumed was the living room, but it was one of the biggest living rooms he had ever laid eyes on. Spacious was a good way to describe it, he decided. To the left of them there was a wall covered in what looked like albums and other sorts of memorabilia. To the right was a cubby with endless pairs of shoes - which he assumed was Kae's. At the very end of the large room was a sofa, a flat screen tv, a guitar and a small house (to his confusion) sitting besides it. Jiho walked forward as Miyoung ran around like a mad woman while Kyung still stood in shock, taking the entire room in. Instead of a wall at the end of the room, there was a large window which revealed the entire Seoul skyline. "Woah," Jiho gaped, "Where do I find myself one of these places?" He sat in front of the tv, inspecting the endless lines of movies and video game consoles.  Miyoung - who was searching high and low for something - responded offhandedly, "Oh well, my family owned this land before there were houses." She threw all the pillows up off the sofa, as if she would find what she was looking for underneath them all. Kyung in the meanwhile, continued to stand awkwardly at the front entrance, unsure where to look first.  "Miyoung?" Jiho asked. "Hmm?" "What are you doing?" "Oh," Miyoung laughed and paused her search, "I'm looking for Mimi." "Ahhh," Jiho had seen and heard all about Miyoung's kitten Mimi. It was all that Kyung would talk about whenever he and Miyoung were snapchatting. Kyung was just about to step forward when he felt something tickle his leg. He looked down in surprise before the little puffball innocently 'meow'ed. "Mimi!" Miyoung ran towards Kyung and was about to scoop up the kitten when Mimi plopped herself next to Kyung's leg and began to purr. Kyung crouched down and cautiously pet the tiny creature, a small smile forming on his face. "Hi little Mimi, Miyoung has told me all about you." The kitten continued to purr and rubbed her head against Kyung's palm, causing Miyoung to giggle happily. She crouched down besides Kyung and nudged him gently. "She likes you Oppa." Kyung laughed, all nervousness from before leaving his body. "Well I like her too." From a distance, Jiho could be heard making choking noises. xXx Kae sighed as she walked up the steps to her apartment, unlocking her phone screen with a simple swipe. 5 unread messages. Her eyes widened - what the hell? why do I have 5 unread messages?? She swiped through the first message -  From: Mi Kae are you okay?  She continued scrolling down.  From: Mi When are you coming home I can't find Mimi HELP Kae rolled her eyes.  From: Mi JUST KIDDING I FOUND HER! Well I didn't find her technically, but she's here!  From: Mi But are you going to be home soon? :(((  Kae sighed and opened the next message, her eyes widening at her screen. From: Yonggie We'll meet again soon. I promise. Kae stopped in her tracks and read the message over and over again, unsure how to react. She stood in front of her apartment door, chewing on her bottom lip and trying to figure out if she should respond to his message. 10 minutes passed. She sighed and gave up her attempts to type out a coherent message and decided to wait until she actually made it inside her house.  She began to input their security code when the door was ed open, Miyoung peeping from behind. "Kae! Where were you? Why didn't you respond, I've been waiting for almost half an ho-" Kae threw her hand up as a signal to stop the younger and her rambling. "Can you just let me in Miyoung?" She attempted to push the door open but Miyoung pushed her body against it to stop her. "Okay okay I get it, you've had a long day, but that's why I have a surprise for you!" Kae glared at her friend, but Miyoung smiled through the glare and continued to speak. "Okay, are you ready?" Kae gave Miyoung an annoyed look which in their secret code signaled "let's just get this over with." "Alright! 1.....2.....3!" Miyoung flung the door open and Kae stepped inside, unsure as to what the big surprise was supposed to be. Her eyes then fell on the two men sitting and waving from the sofa across the room. "Jiho and Kyung Oppa are here!" "..Miyoung." "Yes Kae?" "HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TOLD YOU NOT TO LET BOYS IN WHEN I'M NOT HERE?" xXx "Woahhhh," Jiho scanned the large wall of memorabilia, impressed. Kyung stood a few feet away, starting at the very edge of Miyoung's collection. "Hyung look at how many albums Kae has!" He stopped at one section off to the side - one which was covered in 1llionaire, G-Dragon, but most importantly, Block B CDs. After watching an entertaining argument between Kae and Miyoung, the two girls decided to change out of their day clothes and leave the boys to their own devices. Jiho grinned happily at their albums and pointed them out to his hyung - "look she has all our albums!" Kyung nodded in acknowledgment but continued to browse, the both of them had been collecting for a long time it seemed - he laughed at one of Miyoung's signed CD's in particular, H.O.T's We Hate All Kinds of Violence. He chuckled at the thought of how long it must have taken her to get her hands on it. Jiho started to count the amount of Big Bang and GD albums which Kae had, making him huff at the difference between the amount of GD and Block B. I'll just have to come in another time and bring some of my stuff in here - why does GD hyung get the spotlight? He pouted and continued to move down the wall, until he reached Miyoung's section. "Oh my god hyung!" "What?" "You guys are so cheesy I can't even-" Jiho pointed to the center of Miyoung's prized albums, in the middle sat a photo of her and Kyung, alongside the other numerous gifts Kyung had given her over the years. Kyung stepped over to Jiho to look at what he was pointing and laughing so hard about.   From signed albums, handwritten notes, and the official Block B lightstick - she even had banner from their Very Good showcase which read "I want to see you!" Kyung's heart began to pound in his chest and his cheeks flooded with red - he couldn't believe she kept all of that too.  Jiho patted his back and laughed, "She really likes you too hyung so you shouldn't keep waiting around."  "Yeah Kyung she really likes you so take care of her okay?"  The boys turned towards the voice and found Kae laughing as well. "Just don't let Miyoung know that you saw this, or she'll die of embarrassment. Oh - and the rest of the things you gave her are stashed in her room by the way."  Kyung flushed a darker shade of pink as Jiho cackled; he shoved his face into the sofa to save himself from embarassment and their teasing. It was of course in that moment that Miyoung walked in, confused as to why Kae and Jiho were cackling like hyena's. "What's going on?" she asked, suspicious. "Oh nothing~" Jiho chuckled. Kyung threw him a dirty look and was about to throw a witty comeback which would embarass both him and Kae but Jiho changed the subject. "Oh right! I was looking at your albums and saw you had the Show Me The Money 4 album - why don't you guys audition this year? I'll be judging again." He wiggled his brow and nudged Kae as if that would magically convince her to join. Kyung threw a pillow from the sofa, groaning at the younger. "Idiot we weren't supposed to tell anyone yet remember?" Jiho shrugged, "What's the harm, it's not like they're judging or anything!" As the two continued to fight, Miyoung and Kae awkwardly averted their gaz
