1.The letter

Chapter 1

[Hyunmi’s POV]

I slammed the door behind me and slide down to the ground. I couldn’t believe what
I had just seen. Dad had just passed away 1 week ago and my mum was there having
sex with another man. Tears were streaming down my face. Mum had always been like
this, having affairs with different men openly, even bringing them when dad was
overseas. Dad had known but he had never done anything about. Even when I had
complained to him about the matter, he just said for me to understand mum. I stood
up and walked over to my dressing table. Picking up the picture of me and dad, I
started sobbing loudly.

“Appa, I missed you so much. Mum is doing it again. It has just been a week since
you left. Appa, what am I suppose to do now that you are gone.” A lone tear dropped
onto the frame holding the photograph. Just then, I saw something peeking out from
the back of the frame. Curious, I opened the back and I saw a piece of paper.
Slightly trembling, I opened the piece of paper.

Hyunmi ah,

When you find this piece of this paper, you must have been crying again. My baby
daughter, please stop crying. Appa wouldn’t wish to see you cry. I know your mum
must have been doing it again. Please forgive her. She has her reasons for doing
so. Are you suffering so much with your mum? Appa left one last present for you. I
was afraid that it would be too difficult for you without me there. See the phone
number at the end of this letter, call it. Trust Appa, your life will get better
after calling it. Saranghae, Hyunmi ah.

From,

Your dearest father

The phone number: 010-967783953

I traced my thumb across the paper, wondering if Appa had known that he was going
to die. Shaking those thoughts aside, I found myself lost and confused; I had no
idea what I was going to do. Should I call this number? I hated living in this
house; mum had never care about me. Dad had always been the one that took care of
me. He had showered me with care and love. Now that he was gone, I had no one else.
I should probably call this number. Besides, I had nothing to lose right?

With shaky hands, I dialed the number and waited for the person to pick up. It rang
three times before a deep, gruff voice sounded. “Hello?”

2.Annyeonghasayo Korea! ^^

Chapter 2

[Hyunmi’s POV]

I stared at the ticket in my hands. I could not help wondering if I had made the
wrong choice. I was in my seat on a plane. To be exact, a plane that was taking off
to Korea, South Korea. I was going there to start my new life, to meet the man I
had talked to on the phone, Mr Kim. It turns out Mr Kim was Dad’s bestfriend. As
the air stewardess started instructing us on the safety rules to take note on the
plane, my mind drifted back to the conversation I had yesterday with Mr Kim.

After I said my greeting, the person at the other line chuckled a little. “Hyunmi-
ssi. You must find this very odd, right? Let me introduce myself to you first. I’m
Mr Kim. Your dad’s lifelong best friend. I was going to fly around sometime this
month after receiving the news of his death. But, surprisingly, you beat me to it
and called me.” He let out another small laugh. “You see, knowing your father, he
must have instructed to not arrange a funeral for him, which is why I didn’t go
there, to New York.” I gasped slightly, upon hearing this, amazed at how well this
man knew my father. It was true, dad had ordered to not prepare a funeral for him.
“So, Hyunmi, are you having a difficult life there?” I nodded at his question even
though he was not here.

“Neh. Mr Kim, I know this may sound rude. But, are you going to help me?”

“Straight to the point, as your father had told me. You see, your father had told
me that he had left a letter for you to call me if it was hard for you to cope over
there. He had given me strict instructions to help you. He have already told me his
plans. Do you want to hear them?”
“Neh.”

“Your father plans for you to come to Korea, to lead a new life with your 6 half-
brothers.”

“Bwoh? Half-brothers?” My mouth hung open upon hearing the word ‘brothers’.

“Yes. You have six half-brothers. I will explain them to you once you get here
which I assume you would, or you wouldn’t have made this call.”

He was right. Dad had given me this chance to escape this hell, so I would
definitely take it. I told Mr Kim firmly that I would take his offer, and he had
made arrangements for me. I was to take an early plane ride tomorrow morning;
someone would be there to give me my ticket. I would arrive the morning after
tomorrow. And, with that, I had hung up the phone.

So, here I was on the plane, on my way to Korea, to start my new life. I had left
my mum and hell behind, I didn’t even say goodbye. I had just asked the maid to
help me pass the message that I was going. “Miss, please put on your seatbelt, the
plane is going to take off soon.” I put on my seatbelt and lay against the seat,
soon falling into a deep slumber.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I stretched out my arms as I stepped into the Incheon airport. I dug into my
handbag and put on my sunglasses. As I took out my glasses, my hand brushed against
the photo of me and Dad together. ‘Dad, I’m finally here, to start my new life in
your mother country.’ I looked at the photo; it was taken during one of our father-
daughter trip. We had gone to the beach in Hawaii. Dad loves to travel around and
often, I tagged along. In the picture, dad was kneeling down on the sand as if he
was proposing and he had my hands in his, kissing it. I was making a very shocked
face, but you couldn’t deny the happy atmosphere in the picture. Both of us were
smiling happily. I was extremely fond of this photo, even though we had tons of
others because this photo was taken during our last father-daughter trip.

I smiled at the fond memories and my eyes glistened with water as I stared at the
photo. It was also in this photo that I found dad’s note. I put the frame back into
my handbag and went to get my luggage. As I stepped out of the airport, I breathed
in the Korean air and shouted “Annyeonghasayo Korea!” which earned me quite a few
stares.

Suddenly, my moment was spoiled as I heard screams coming from behind me. I turned
back and saw some people holding signs. I guess there are some stars coming back.
Not interested in those stuff, I looked around for a taxi. Soon, I flagged one and
told the driver of the building Mr Kim had told me to go to.
3.Explanations

Chapter 3

[Hyunmi’s POV]

I stepped out of the taxi and gazed at the building before my eyes. It was huge and
classy; whoever owns this must be rolling in money! I went to the service counter
while marveling at my surroundings. ‘Hi. My name is Park Hyunmi. I’m looking for Mr
Kim.” It seems as if Mr Kim had told his staff about my coming because I was
whisked by a lady called Alicia to the highest level of the building. She signaled
me to wait outside while she went in to the room who said ‘CEO- Mr Kim Yong Suk’ I
heard her gentle voice saying “Kim Sejangnim, Ms Park has arrived.” “Send her in.”
the deep voice that I spoke to yesterday replied.

Alicia returned and gestured for me to enter. I thanked her before making my way
in. I was greeted by the sight of a man in his mid forties sitting on the sofa. I
bowed as his gaze fell on me. “Annyeonghasayo. Chonun Park Hyunmi imida.” I greeted
politely. “Ah, Hyunmi ah. Don’t stand on courtesy, do take a seat. I believe you
know I’m Mr Kim, your dad’s best friend. Oh, and call me Sam chon, arraso?” “Deh.”
I nodded. Then, I popped the question which had caused my insomnia last night. “Sam
chon, could you please explain to me about my 6 half-brothers?” “You really are
straightforward, huh. Well, the story begins when your dad was in his teens. He was
about a couple of years older than you are now.”

Since young, your dad has always been a Casanova. He played with women in during
high school, breaking God knows how many hearts. But, he finally made a mistake
when he was twenty. I’m not sure about the details, all I know that your dad and
the woman had way too much and his hormones kicked in; and so the woman got
pregnant. Then, these continued for a few years and he caused five more
pregnancies. Which is why you have six half brothers now.

But, all changed when your father met your mother. He fell in love. And, so your
mother became the last woman that he played. You must be curious why your father
allows your mother to have flings right? It’s because your mother went through a
lot for your father. She got thrown out by her family because of the pregnancy.
Also, your dad thinks that he owes your mother a lot for playing with women a lot.
Thus, he let her does what she wants. Of course, love plays a big part too.

At this point, Sam chon stopped and smiled. “That’s the story of your father and
how your 6 half-brothers came about.” By that time, my eyes were already filled
with tears. I couldn’t believe that my dad used to play with woman. But, what
amazed me most was his love for my mum. He had loved her to that extend that he
could allow her to have sex with other men right in front of his eyes. ‘Dad, this
is why I love you so much. You were never selfish with your love.’ Tears spilled
out of my eyes as I was reminded yet again that he was gone.

Seeing that I was crying, Sam chon came over and gave me a hug. A fatherly hug that
I missed so much. “Hush hush. Hyunmi ah. I’m sure Sang Won won’t want to see you
crying now. Don’t cry, if you have any problems in the future, come to Sam chon,
arraso? Sam chon will be your father and give you all the hugs you need.” He stroke
my head while all I could do was cry in his arms. I missed the fatherly touch so
much. Appa, gomawo for sending this uncle to me. Saranghae Appa.
After awhile, I sat up straight and wiped the tears away from my eyes. I smiled a
bit seeing how much tears I had cried. Sam chon’s shirt was totally wet. “Mianhe! I
didn’t mean to wet your shirt.” I apologized profusely. “Gwenchana. Ulgima,
arraso?” Changing the topic, Sam chon asked me a question which took me by
surprised. “So, are you ready to meet your brothers? You will be living with them.”

“Eh? Erm… Could you tell me more about them first? Do they know about each other?
And do they know about me?” Stunned, I spilled out those questions. “Your brothers
do know about each other and you too. Your father visited them one by one before he
passed away. He did know his time was up. He had made arrangements for you kids to
stay together. Don’t forget Sang Won was a business man. Of course, he would have
made arrangements.” Sam chon explained to me.

“Deh. Sam chon ah. Can you tell me more about them? Like how old they are and what
do they do?” I asked curious since they know about me but I had no information on
them. “They are all celebrities, idols in fact. They all have their bands. Oh, you
will be living with their bands too. They are separately aged at 28, 24, 24, 23, 22
and 22. That’s all I will tell you. For their names, you will know it later since
you will be meeting them later after lunchtime at around 3pm. Since all of them are
idols, and your dad wants you to have time to bond with them. Your dad has arranged
for them to all have a 2 week break to spend quality time with you. And yes, their
band members are also included. Does that answer all your questions?”

My mouth hung wide open from the information. I will be meeting them later? OMONA!
I don’t even know them, hopefully it won’t be awkward. “Deh, Sam chon. So, what am
I suppose to do now? It is only 12 noon. Oh, and will you be coming with me to meet
them later?” I crossed my fingers, praying that he will come later, c’mon, I do
need at least someone I know with me! “We shall go and have lunch now. My apologies
but I won’t be with you later, however I will have my chauffeur send you there,
alright? Now, shall we go and have lunch?” Sam chon looked at me with an apologetic
face but after that, he smiled. Aigoo. There goes my hope, well nevermind then, I
shall go and enjoy my lunch first! “Kaja!” I said excitedly and went over to hook
my arm over Sam chon’s arm.

4.Introducing the Brothers!

Chapter 4

[Hyunmi’s POV]

Soooo…. It’s 2.30 pm right now. I’m at the house where dad arranged for me to be
staying at with my brothers. It feels so weird calling them my brothers after being
the only child for so long. This house was so huge! It has three floors. I’m
currently at the second floor checking out the rooms. Woah! Each room had a
bathroom in them. So far the rooms I entered were pretty much the same, white wall
with around five beds each. Then, I reached the last room. It was decorated in blue
and purple! My favourite colors! There was only a bed. The whole room was decorated
exactly for a girl! I jumped onto the bed and started rolling on it.

*Click* “WOOTS!!! HYUNG! THIS HOUSE IS SOOO BIG!!!” Did someone just enter? Omo!
Did one of my brothers arrived? Hurriedly, I stood up and rushed down to the first
floor. There, I saw a guy in sunglasses looking at me. He was wearing a checkered
collar tee and white jeans and boy, he was HAWT.

[No one’s POV]

Hyunmi stood there, gaping at the guy when the guy went over to her, took her hand
and kissed it. “Hi there. I’m Jonghyun.” Hyunmi gasped at the guy’s affection
towards and blushed. “Annyeonghasayo. Hyunmi immida.” Jonghyun started flirting
with her. “You are so pretty.” Unused to compliments, Hyunmi started blushing even
harder. She looked away shyly from Jonghyun and murmured a “Kamsahamita.”

“Hey yo! Wassup! GD’s in the house! Woah! Top hyung, your house is NO KIDDING! My
my, who’s this gorgeous lady?” Jiyong suddenly barged through the door interrupting
the moment between Jonghyun and Hyunmi, babbling a long string of words. Hyunmi
then stared at him with her big brown eyes. Jiyong then went over and caressed her
cheek. “Yo yo! I’m G-dragon but you can call me Jiyong. Nice to meet you.” Shocked,
Hyunmi stuttered. “Erm.. I’m Hyunmi. Hi.” ‘What’s up with Korean guys and their
affection?’

Once again, Hyunmi was distracted by another entrance. This time TWO hot looking
guys approached her. “Wow! Who’s this hot lady here?” Guy number one spoke. Both of
them were muscular and did I mentioned, they were HAWT? Guy number two spoke,
“Hello there sexy girl, I’m Taecyeon and the other guy is Kikwang.” Taecyeon then
give Hyunmi a smile, showing his pearly whites. “Annyeong. I’m Hyunmi.” Luckily,
Taecyeon and Kikwang were nice enough to keep their hands to themselves.

Suddenly, someone grabbed her waist. “Hi, pretty lady! I’m Kangin!” the Kangin guy
said. Prying his hands away, Hyunmi hurried away. Only to bump into another guy.
“Ya, Kangin hyung, you are scaring her! I apologise for my hyung! I’m Eunhyuk!”
Eunhyuk chided Kangin before turning to Hyunmi and giving her gummy smile. “Yo!
You’re so beautiful!” Hyunmi turned around to find herself looking at a very pretty
looking guy. “I’m Heechul. And you’re?”

Before she even got to introduce herself, someone held her shoulders and turned her
in another direction. “Hi! I’m Soohyun!” The guy said excitedly. “I’m Hyunmi.” She
said and looked away in another direction. ‘Sam chon! Where are you? Please don’t
tell me these guys are my brothers! Oh Appa! Help me!!!’

“Yah! What are you guys doing?!” Someone shouted angrily. Startled, Hyunmi turned
to that direction and saw a guy standing at the door. ‘He looks safe. Maybe he’s my
brother?’ Hyunmi thought. Upon hearing the angry voice, all those boys surrounding
seem to back away. Seeing those boys gone from Hyunmi, the guy’s face softened and
he started walking towards Hyunmi. “Hey little sis. I’m Leeteuk aka Park Jungsoo.
Your oldest brother.” Hyunmi’s face was a mixture of surprised and happiness. ‘Yes!
I found my first brother! And yes! He isn’t going to attack me!’

[Hyunmi’s POV]

I was so happy , I hugged Leeteuk tightly. He was taken aback but after a few
seconds, he hugged me back. “So Oppa, where are the rest of my brothers?” I asked
him. “Oppa?” He asked, clearly shocked. “You’re my brother, so of course I should
call you oppa. Or would you like me to call you Leeteuk-sshi?” “Oppa will be fine.
My dongsaengs, come on out.” He spoke. Then five more guys stood out. I looked at
them and couldn’t help wondering if they were my brothers. “Hyunmi, these are your
Oppas.” Leeteuk oppa said.

“Hi. I’m Jay Park Jaebum. You second oldest oppa.” A guy with small eyes said. “I’m
Top. Choi Seunghyun. Your third oldest oppa. I’m 24, same with Jay.” A cool looking
guy with really pretty eyes said. “Alexander here! Your fourth oldest oppa. I’m the
only oppa who is 23.” A guy with thick lips told me, he look really friendly.
“Doojoon Oppa here. I’m 22. Your second youngest oppa.” A handsome guy introduced.
“Jinki Oppa here! You can call me Onew Oppa too. I’m the same as Doojoon. 22 this
year.” Ahh, this Jinki oppa looks really cute! “Annyeong Oppas. I’m Hyunmi!
Pangasimida!” I introduced myself and bowed slightly.

When I looked back up, I gasped. I just realized there was A LOT of guys in this
room. Uh oh. Are they my Oppas’ bandmates? I think Leeteuk Oppa picked up my
awkward moment and ordered the guys to stand in their groups all in one line. I
counted how many guys there was and the number shocked me totally. 45! I’m going to
be LIVING WITH 45 GUYS?! Appa, what were you thinking?! Then those guys started
introducing themselves.

“Annyeonghasayo! We are Super Junior- OAEYO!” They put up their hands like Hi-5ing
someone. I looked at the first group and saw Leeteuk Oppa in it. Omo! Super Junior
has 15 guys?! I gulped as I saw some of the guys who talked to me just now. Who
were they? Erm… Kanghyuk? Eunchul? And Heein? Aigoo.. So difficult to remember!
Then, they introduced themselves. There was Leeteuk, Heechul, Hankyung, Yesung,
Kangin, Shindong, Sungmin, Eunhyuk, Zhoumi, Donghae, Siwon, Ryeowook, Kibum,
Kyuhyun and Henry.

Kangin then went in front of me and said seductively, “So you are Teukie’s Hyung
sister? Would you like to be my girlfriend?” I gulped, he looked kind of scary. I
screamed mentally ‘Someone help me!’ “Yah! Kangin Hyung! Hands off my baby sister!”
‘Yes! Someone answered my prayers!’ I turned and saw Jaebum Oppa glaring at Kangin.
Wow, my oppa is so protective of me! I’m smiling inside my head now. Kangin then
back off without a word even though Jay Oppa is younger than him, I guess Jay
Oppa’s glare was really very powerful. Then, Jay Oppa said “Hyunmi ah, now’s my
band’s turn. Hana Tuel Set!”

“Annyeonghasayo! 2pm immida!” They did the ‘peace’ sign sideways. They were really
cool. Jay’s Oppa group has 7 guys. Oh! One of them was the one who had real nice
teeth! I remembered, his name was taecyeon! Then, they started introducing
themselves. Jaebum, Junsu, Nickhun, Taecyeon, Wooyoung, Junho and the maknae,
Chansung. Those guys are so muscular! I wonder how many fans died because of them,
must be quite a lot huh.

“Annyeonghasayo! We are Big BANG!” Woah, I got too caught up in chocolate-abs-

world, the next group really scared me. They all shouted together at ‘Bang!’ Hey!
That guy that came in very nosily was there! Oh, this is Top Oppa’s band.
“Dongsaeng ah, this is my band, BigBang. There are five members who are Me,
Taeyang, Jiyong aka G-dragon, Daesung and Seungri.” Top oppa introduced them to me.
I just smiled at them. At the mention of his name, Jiyong gave me a perverted
smile, which I ignored.

“Annyeonghasayo! U-kiss immida!” Their actions were cute. It looked like they were
wiping their mouth. This group has Alexander Oppa and Soohyun, another guy that
tried to hit on me just now. The members told me their names one by one.
“Alexander, your oppa!” “Soohyun” “Ki Bum” I opened my mouth as soon as he mention
his name. Another Ki bum? There was one at Super Junior right? How was I supposed
to differentiate them like that? But, alas, no one noticed my dilemma and they
continued with their introductions. “Uh… ah, I’m Kiseop.” I giggled slightly at his
intro, how can he forget his own name? “Eli here.” “Kevin” “Maknae Dongho!” the
maknae looked so cute!

“So Beast! Beast immida!” woah, a fresh greeting! They didn’t use ‘Annyeonghasayo’
Ahh, this is Doojoon Oppa’s band. And that muscular guy was here too, his was…
Kikwang? “Dongsaeng, the members in my group are me, Hyun Seung, Jun Hyung, Yoseob,
Kikwang and Dongwoon.” Doojoon Oppa said. That Yoseob guy looks cute! He has such a
baby face. Jun hyung looks so cool. I’m guessing he is a rapper.

“Annyeonghasayo! We are Shining Shinee!” They did a ‘fighting!’ pose. Heyhey, I do

know a thing and two about the Korean culture, my Appa is Korean after all. Ooh,
this is the cute Oppa, Onew’s band. So, Onew Oppa is band mates with the skinship
king. Yes, that is what I named the first guy, Jonghyun who tried to hit on me-
Skinship King. Onew oppa is bandmates with Jonghyun, a guy name Key who looks like
a diva, Minho and a VERY VERY cute Taemin. They just told me that Key’s name is
also Kibum. Geez, what’s with Korean parents and the name ‘kibum’? Greatttt, I’m
going to live in a house with THREE Kibums.

I snapped out of Kibum-land, and found them all looking at me. Confused, I blurted
out a “What?” Then, they started laughing. Someone came and pinched my cheeks. I’ve
no idea who that was; I mean how can you expect me to remember all 45 names at one
go. Well, I can get my Oppas’ names but the rest, too bad, they would have to wait.
Hold on, I drifted off again. Did I mention that I tend to get distracted easily?
“Hyunmi. We finished introducing ourselves, shouldn’t you tell us about yourself?”
I looked around and saw Xander Oppa talking to me.

“Oh, sure. Well, my name is Hyunmi. You guys know that. My English name is Alexia.
I like to sing, dance and read. Though, I’m not good at singing or dancing. I can
cook pretty well. I’m currently 17 this year, 18 in Korean age. My birthday is on
11 November. My mum is American, while my dad is Korean, duh. He’s the reason why I
can speak Korean. Oh, and I tend to get distracted easily. Anything else you would
like to know?” I asked them in a Sing-song tone. “Alex-seah? What a weird name.” a
guy said, whom I regconise as Heechul. “Heechul-sshi. Its Alex-XIA not Seah.” I
corrected him.

“Wait, so you’re younger than all of us. We are all your Oppas. So, you should drop
the formalities and call us Oppas. Arraso?” Doojoon Oppa said. “Deh, oppa. By the
way, Oppas, how are you guys going to sleep? I have checked, there are 10 bedrooms
on the second floor. I think the third floor is for entertainment purposes. So you
guys have 9 rooms to share in, which is 5 people per room, because I get one room
to myself.” I smiled evilly, pleased that I get one whole room to myself while they
have to share.

[No one’s POV]

The guys started discussing among themselves. It was obvious that Super Junior will
split themselves into three rooms, while Bigbang and Shinee will get one room each.
U-kiss, Beast and 2pm would have to split up and share the remaining four rooms. It
does seem like the solutions, doesn’t it?

Well, Maybe not. Maybe they will ALL be separated? Who knows?
5.Room arrangements, Incident and Nicknames?

As the guys were discussing about their rooms, Hyunmi was thinking about something.
She put her hand on her chin and started pondering. Suddenly, she shouted above all
the din “Oppa! What did you say your band names were?” The guys stop their
discussion and looked at her weirdly. Then, Onew spoke up. “Super Junior, 2pm, Big
Bang, U-Kiss, Beast and Shinee. Why?” “Ah! No wonder that name was so familiar.”
Hyunmi exclaimed excitedly. Everyone was curious about what she was thinking about.
“Super Junior Oppas, you guys just came back today right? At Incheon airport?” she
squealed.

“Deh. Wae?” Donghae answered. “Ah. No wonder! You guys were the one that destroyed
my moment. It’s nothing, just go back to your discussion.” Hyunmi smiled to
herself, glad that she found out who those stars were. The guys being guys, just
give Hyunmi a weird stare before returning to the discussion. Finally, they decided
on something. “Kids, why don’t we separate ourselves from our groups? That way, we
can bond better with each other.” Leeteuk suggested. The boys just nodded their
heads, while Hyunmi stared at them, wondering how long it was going to take.

A good fifteen minutes passed before they came to a conclusion.

“Oppa, isn’t that abit unfair in room 5? And you’re really going to put both the
‘Kibums’ together?” Hyunmi said. “Well, the people in room 5 are pretty quiet. So
let them be.” Doojoon answered Hyunmi’s question. “Deh.” Then, the boys began
climbing up the stairs to their rooms.

[Hyunmi’s POV]
As the Oppas go up the stairs, I could hear some arguments along the way. “Hyung!
This is so unfair! Why does Eunhae get to sleep together but Jongkey has to be
separated?” Someone complained. “Aish! Key ah. Just go with the plan arraso? You
still get to the dino everyday.” A voice I regconised as Onew Oppa’s came. I could
imagine Key oppa looking all annoyed and Onew oppa giving him the ‘-.-‘ face.

I giggled to myself and went into the kitchen. The introductions had taken a pretty
long time, so I decided to start making dinner. After all, there were 46 mouths to
be fed. I opened the fridge and saw that it was already stocked up. I smiled and
began taking out the vegetables and meat to wash and defrost them. I was cutting
the vegetables when I suddenly remembered something.

“Omona! The perverts are all in one room! And they are just three do- Ouch!” I
winced as I accidentally cut my finger. Blood was flowing freely from my hand.
Shoot. I cut myself too deep. I began fumbling around, looking in the shelves for
the first-aid kit. Sheesh, where did the first-aid kit go to? Aigoo… the Oppas are
all upstairs. Then, I heard someone shouting. “Yah! Hyunmi ah, what happened to
your finger?” I looked back and saw a guy looking at. “Erm… Oppa, I accidentally
cut myself. You’re Taecyeon oppa right?” he smiled “Yes. I’m Taecyeon.” Then he
started frowning. “Why are you so careless? Aigoo… where’s the first-aid kit?” he
left me and went to looked for the first-aid kit.

As seconds passed, the pain became more and more unbearable. “Ah! It hurts so much!
Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!” I screamed in pain. Taecyeon oppa looked back at me, shake his
head then started bellowing. “Someone help me come find the first-aid kit! Hyunmi
hurt herself!” I smiled at his caring gesture. Appa, why did you put so many
shelves? I screamed again as pain shot through me again. “Oppa, can you please
hurry up, it’s hurting so much.” “Arraso.” Taecyeon oppa started searching at
double speed.

By this time, I was sitting on the floor, clutching my finger with a cloth wrapped
around it. Blood was seeping fast and the cloth was already half red. “God! What
happened to you, Hyunmi?” someone came over and put his hand over my arm. “Ouch!
Don’t press it. It hurts!” I groaned. “Mian. I’m Zhoumi Oppa by the way. Hold on.
I’ll get someone here soon. Close your ears.” I did as I was told and he started
shouting 10 times louder then Taecyeon Oppa did. “Hyungs! Dongsaengs! Hyunmi hurt
herself! Some help here!” I stared at him at amazement. How did he do that?

In less than a minute, guys were pouring down the stairs. “What happened to my baby
sister?” “What’s wrong?” “Is she dying?!” I laughed at the last one. It was so
absurd. Then, Xander Oppa came over to me and ordered the rest of the guys to help
find the first-aid kit after understanding the situation. “Mimi, are you okay? It
must be hurting so much. Poor baby.” I blinked as Xander oppa comforted me. “Mimi?
Oppa, I’m fine but it really hurts a lot.” I gave a weak smile. “You’re my only
sister so I thought I should give you a nickname.” He pulled me closer to him and
gave me a hug. ‘Wow, having a brother is so nice!’ I thought.

“Found it!” I looked up and saw a cute looking guy holding the kit. “That’s
Yoseob.” Xander oppa whispered to me. I nodded then scream again. I was in agony.
“Yoseob, get the kit here quick!” Xander Oppa shouted. Yoseob oppa ran over and
Xander oppa took over. He started applying the medication on me, and I bit my lips
to keep the screams from coming out.

“Done.” I breathe a sigh of relief. Then, I stood up and bowed. “Gamsahamita Oppas,
for your help. Sorry if I broke your eardrums with my scream.” I sheepishly
scratched the back of my neck. Another oppa came over to me and patted my head.
“I’m Sungmin. No need to thank us. We are one family after all.” I grinned and went
over to give each of the oppas one hug. There was about 10 oppas. Some I
regconised, some I don’t. There was Taecyeon, Zhoumi, Xander, Yoseob, Sungmin and
Key. I wasn’t sure about the rest. Seeing my puzzled expression, Xander oppa came
over and pointed to those Oppas whom I didn’t regconise. “That’s Daesung, Junho,
Eli and Shindong.” I nodded and thanked them.

Then, I went back to the kitchen counter and picked up the knife again. “What are
you doing?” Xander oppa shouted. “Preparing dinner oppa.” I answered in a small
voice. I could detect some traces of anger in his voice. “Hyunmi! You are hurt. Go
to your room and take a bath. You haven’t rested yet. We will cook the dinner.”
Junho oppa reprimanded me. “But, oppa. You guys are tired too. I’m fine, really!” I
put down the knife and protested. “No buts. Park Hyunmi, go and take a bath now.”
Zhoumi Oppa ordered. “Deh.” I hung my head and slowly walked towards the stairs. I
decided to try again. “Op-” I was cut short by Sungmin and Key Appa. “NOW.” I
gulped and made my way to my bedroom. Who knew they could be so scary?

[Hyunmi’s POV]

As I went up the stairs, I bumped into someone. Looking up, I saw that it was the
very cute looking oppa, Onew. “Dongsaeng ah, what happened to you? Gwenchana?” I
smiled, seeing his face full of concern. “Deh oppa. I’m fine. I just accidentally
cut my finger and couldn’t find the first-aid kit. Not my fault that Appa installed
wayyyyy too many shelves.” I rolled my eyes, exasperated. He chuckled.”Yeah. What
was Appa thinking? Anyway, since you’re alright. I shall see you later cos I smell
CHICKEN!” He said full of excitement. I stared at him with a blank expression.
‘Does he like chicken this much?’

“Ah!”

I started laughing. Onew oppa caught his foot and had fallen onto the ground. The
point is, he tripped over AIR. He stood up and started blushing furiously. I
doubled up seeing his blush. He looked SO CUTEE! “Yah yah. It’s not so funny. I’m
just clumsy by nature.” “Keke! Oppa, don’t be mad. It was just funny how you fell
over nothing.” I was going over to use my agyeo to please him when I almost trip.
Over NOTHING! “Bwahaha! Now who’s the clumsy one?” “Yah. Lee Jinki! It’s so not
funny. Hmph!” I crossed my arms over my chest and walked back into my room. I
wasn’t someone who was petty but I was just too embarrassed. Plus, it is ALWAYS fun
to play a prank on someone. I ignored the cries of oppa and closed my room door.

[Onew’s POV]

Aigoo…. Why are girls so difficult to please? She laughed at me but why can’t I
laugh at her? But, still, I guess I have to make up to her somehow.

Thinking back, I realized how much she looked like us. I mean like me and the
hyungs. She has Teukie hyung’s dimples, Jay hyung’s passion for dancing, TOP
hyung’s beautiful eyes, Xander hyung’s friendliness, Doojoon hyung’s nice nose and
my clumsiness. She was around 163cm. She also had a perfect figure. Those that are
not too skinny, but not too fat too. She was cute and pretty at the same time. I
guess Appa left a bit of us in her.

I still have to get her to forgive me. Aigoo… what should I do? Nevermind, I shall
go and have my chicken first!

[Hyunmi’s POV]

After my bath, I went to the kitchen to see if anyone needed my help. I saw
Sungmin, Key and Onew oppa together with three other guys I don’t know. Well,
Sungmin and Key oppa are cooking along with the rest of the guys. But, Onew oppa
was just begging for more chicken from Key oppa. “Sungmin oppa. Do you need help?”
I asked cheerfully. “Aniyo. But, do you want some food?” he smiled at me. God, I
almost melted with his smile. It was so cute!

“Deh, oppa. What do have for me? Oh, and can you tell me who are the rest of the
oppas?”

“Sure. This is Hankyung, Ryeowook and Minho. Hankyung and Ryeowook are from Super
Junior while Minho is from Shinee. What do you want? We have sushi, pizza and
chicken.” Sungmin oppa pointed to a guy who looked so smart, a guy who look so
young and another one who looked so athletic. “Woots! Oppa, I want sushi!” I
exclaimed. Sushi was one of my favourite foods! Next to ice cream of course.

“You love sushi?” Ryeowook oppa asked. “Deh! It’s my second favourite next to ice
cream!” Hankyung oppa chuckled and handed me some sushi. “Komawo oppa.” I thanked
him before sitting down at the snack bar. “Oh, Key oppa and Minho oppa, you guys
want some?” “No thanks” they smiled at me before going back to their work. “Hey.
What about me?” Onew oppa started complaining.

I ignored him and continued eating. I bit back my smile and acted like nothing
happen. “Mimi, I want some. Ahh” Sungmin oppa went in front of me and opened his
mouth wide. “Mimi again? Like Xander oppa called me?” I asked while putting the
sushi into Oppa’s mouth. “Yuppp. It’s cute. Both you and Zhoumi are Mimi!” Sungmin
oppa swallowed his sushi and said. I grin at my new nickname. “Okay! Then I shall
call you Sungminnie oppa.” “Yay! I’ve got a nickname! Sucks to you Onew! I bet you
don’t have one.” Sungmin oppa went to Onew oppa and stick out his tongue. “Hey.
What about us?” Key oppa pouted.

“Erm… Ryeowook oppa shall be Wookie. Hankyung oppa shall be Hannie. Minho oppa
shall be Minnie. But, Key oppa. Yours is too difficult. Ottoke?” I pouted. “Arraso.
I shall have no nickname then. But, you can’t call me kibum, kay?” I nodded my
head. “Alright. Mimi, go set up the table. We shall have dinner now. Minho, go call
the rest of them out for dinner.” I nodded then went to Onew oppa and pinched his
cheeks. “Oppa. I’m just kidding . You shall be my chicken oppa!” I giggled before
leaving a startled him holding his cheeks and headed out to the dining room.

6.Dinner and Flaming charisma

Chapter 6

[No one’s POV]

The dining room started filling up as the guys started coming into the room. “Yes
dinner!” “What’s for dinner?” “Is there any beef?” “I want bananas!” Noise filled
the room as the guys started taking their places. “Yah! I want to sit next to my
khunnie! Move over Chansung!” “Wae? Wooyoung hyung, I bet Khunnie hyung wants to
sit next to me.” “Aish! Stop fighting. I’m gonna sit next to Junsu.” “Yah, wookie!
I wanna sit with Kyu! Move!”

“OPPAS! SHIKKURO!” Hyunmi screamed with all her might. The boys were stunned and
just stared at her with their mouth hung open. You could hear a pin drop in the
room. Hyunmi sheepishly scratched her nape. “Mianhe. It was just that oppas are too
noisy and I’m so hungry. I want to start dinner.” Hyunmi pouted cutely and looked
at them with big eyes. “Aigoo! Kyeopta!” Sungmin went up and pinched her cheeks.
Hyunmi giggled and said “So Sungminnie oppa, can we start dinner?” “Sure. Take a
seat first.” Sungmin smiled the nickname.

Leeteuk raised his eyebrows. “Sungminnie? What about me? Mimi ah, you can’t ignored
your eldest oppa like this.” He puffed his cheeks. Then the guys started to
protest. “OPPAS! SHIKKURO! Aish, jinja. Why are you guys so childish? Arraso, I
will give you guys nicknames when I can remember your names. So now my oppas first,
Teukie oppa, Jay oppa, Seungie oppa, Xander oppa, Doojoonie oppa and chicken oppa!
Happy?” Hyunmi mentally shake her head at their childishness.

Leeteuk pleased with his new found nickname, ignored the cries of the other guys
and started dinner. “Jalmukesumneda” “Jalmukesumneda” Then they started eating.
“So, Hyunmi, do you have a boyfriend?” Shindong asked. “Aniyo. Shindongie oppa.”
Her answer made a few guys quite happy. When the word ‘Aniyo’ was heard, you could
see some of their eyes lighting up. “Jinja? Yes!” Dongho exclaimed. “Shin Dongho!
Don’t ever think of hitting on Mimi.” Dongho’s remark was met with harsh rejection
from the overprotective brothers.

“Oppa, don’t be so overprotective! Aren’t you supposed to feel proud that someone
likes your dongsaeng?” Hyunmi chuckled. Then, she looked at Dongho and said “Dongho
oppa, kumawo for liking me. I can’t think of a nickname for you yet but as we get
closer, I’m sure I will.” Dongho sulky face immediately brightened into a huge
grin. “See hyungs! Hyunmi prefers young guys! Mehrong!” he stuck out his tongue at
them. He was met with angry eyes of his hyungs. He was the maknae among the guys
and they were not pleased with his statement.

Fortunately, Hyunmi caught onto the situation and decided to make all of them
happy. “Oppa, I like everyone. Don’t be mad at Dongho oppa. I’m sure he’s just
joking.” At her comment, everyone was appeased and Hyunmi decided to change the
topic. “So, oppas, do any of you have a yoja chingu or a crush?” Some blushed but
no one answered. ‘Aha! They got caught!’ Hyunmi thought. ‘But, I shall give them a
chance since I just met them today.’

“Ahem. So, Hyunmi, who do you think is the best-looking guy here?” Dongwoon said.
“Eh, mian, but what’s your name?” everyone burst out laughing at Hyunmi’s question.
“Yo, maknae! Trying to hit on her but she doesn’t know you! Hahaha!” Jonghyun
teased Dongwoon. Blushing furiously, Dongwoon stuttered. “I’m Dongwoon. Maknae of
Beast.” “Ah, mianhe Dongwoonie oppa. About your question, erm… can I skip the
question?” Dongwoon smiled at his new found nickname but then frowned when he heard
Hyunmi wanting to avoid that question. “NO!” Her avoidance was rejected immediately
by the guys.

“Hyunmi, you can’t skip it. Everyone wants to know it! Instead of all of us, how
about the best out of each group? Easier?” Seungri suggested. “Huh…. Arraso oppa.
Hmm… I’m not really familiar with their names but I kind of know which group is
which. Do I have to count the oppas in?”

“Nope. Without your oppas.”

“Deh. For Super Junior, it’s that guy.” She said pointing at Kyuhyun. Kyuhyun
smirked.

“For 2pm, it’s that guy that Wooyoung and Chansung oppa were fighting over I think?
Eh, his name is Khunnie oppa?” 2PM grimaced while Nickhun smiled.

“BigBang is Seung-something oppa.” “It’s Seungri! Yes! I won!”

“U-kiss is Ki…Seop oppa? Is that his name?” Kiseop raised his hands into the hair
and shouted “Woots!”

“For Beast, I was thinking between Dongwoonie and that pervert oppa. Sorry
Dongwoonie oppa, but pervert oppa won.” “Hey! I’m Kikwang oppa not pervert oppa!”
Nonetheless, Kikwang still smiled but Dongwoon pouted.

“Shinee.. Eh… Skinship King or that athletic oppa? Can I choose both?” she was met
with a firm ‘no’. “Well, then mian athletic oppa, skinship king oppa won. So oppas,
you guys happy now?”

Those that were chosen shouted “Hell yeah!” while those who lost mumbled a dejected
“no…” Hyunmi pouted. “Oppas, don’t be sad. You guys are good in your own way!
Saranghae!” she did a heart-shape sign. Immediately, smiles replaced the frowns on
their faces.

“Oh, oppas. You guys are having a 2-week break form tomorrow onwards right?” Hyunmi
questioned.

“Deh. Waeyo?” Leeteuk said.

“Aniyo. Just confirming what Sam chon told me. Oh, Oppas Could you guys tell me
more about your bands?” Hyunmi said, while eating her sushi.

“Okays. Let’s start with Shinee. So, who wants to talk?” Alexander asked,
excitedly.

“Oooh, Hyungs! I will do it! Annyeong Mimi dongsaeng, I’m Taemin the CUTEST maknae
in the world!” Taemin did some aygeo to prove his words.

“Yah! Babo maknae! You are suppose to talk about Shinee not about yourself.” Key
knocked his head while scolding him.

“Ouch! Umma, it hurts!” Taemin whined while rubbing his head.

“Sheesh, Maknae. Can’t even tell them how AWESOME Shinee is. I shall do the talking
then. So, hyunmi, Shinee is like Just the BEST boyband EVER.”However, Jonghyun’s
speech was met with protest by the other boys.

“Yah. Dino. Super Junior is wayyyyyyyyy better!” Heechul piped up.

“No! U-Kiss is the best!” Kevin defended his group.

“Get real, people! When are you going to realise that you can never beat Big Bang?”
Jiyong said with a tone of arrogance.

“Oh, puh-leaze. Chocolate abs are the best Which means 2pm wins. Duh.” Junho stated
as if it was a fact.

“Beast is JJANG!” Yoseob shouted above the noisy din.

Soon, the once peaceful dining room, was again, filled with more noise. “Not again.
Aish, I think I will lose my voice soon.” Hyunmi murmured and face-palmed herself.

“HYUNGS! KEEP THE VOLUME DOWN PLEASE! YAH!” Looking up, Hyunmi found herself
staring at Minho, who had sat beside her and was currently putting his nickname,
-Flaming Charisma- into full use. Everyone shut their mouth and looked at Minho. It
was undeniable that Minho was the Flaming Charisma. The look in his eyes would have
made anyone did what he said.

Then, out of the blue, Hyunmi started giggling. “Oppa. Hahahahaha! Your faces are
priceless! Minnie oppa really got you guys! This is so FUNNEYYYYY!!!” She couldn’t
control her laughter and kept laughing and laughing. Minho smiled as he saw his
Hyungs’ and Dongasengs’ faces. It was really one of a kind.

After that incident, the atmosphere returned back into the noisy but family one
once again. The argument about the best boyband was already forgotten. And, the
rest of the dinner time was spent like this.

7.'Mehrong Mr Choi!'
Chapter 7

[Hyunmi’s POV]

I woke up and glanced at the clock, which showed 8.00am. Pushing myself out of bed,
I went to brush my teeth and washed my face before going downstairs.

As I arrived in the dining room, almost everyone was there. I felt the corner of my
lips lifting up and a smile formed on my face. The scene in front had such a family
atmosphere. It was something I had wished so badly for, in the US.

With my mum preparing breakfast and my dad hugging her by the waist from behind,
cracking a joke in between and occasionally stealing a kiss or two.

The scene in front of me wasn’t exactly like this but it was something similar. The
boys were cracking jokes at each other; with Sungmin, Ryeowook, Hankyung, Key,
Hyunseung, Kevin, Alexander, Jiyong, Junsu and Nickkhun Oppa cooking. Shindong,
Eunhyuk, Taemin, Dongwoon, Chansung, Junho, Daesung and Seungri Oppa were trying to
steal some food while others were busy setting up. There were also ‘couple’ like
actions. The KangTeuk couple was doing dorky stuff, with the G-Top couple playing
along. The ZhouRy couple were busy discussing who wore the best outfit today.
I think everyone was too busy with their jobs, because, so far, no one has noticed
me yet.

“Morning Oppas! Have you all slept well?” I called out, catching them by surprise.
I laughed as they jumped up, upon hearing my voice.

“Mimi! Don’t scare Oppa like that! I’m too old already!” came a complaint.

“Deh, Hannie Oppa!” I answered in a cheery tone.

They stared at me with large eyes. “You know Hankyung? You even found out his
nickname?” Eunhyuk Oppa asked in disbelief.

“Deh. I did my homework last night, sitting in front of the computer for THREE
hours straight, memorizing everything about you guys; when all I want to do is to
go to bed. Harrrrrr” I yawned, still feeling a little sleepiness that had yet to
pass; I guess I had to go take a bath later. I stretched a little, raising both my
hands up.

“Oh, by the way, what’s for breakfast?” Silence greeted me and I looked around
confused. “Oppa? Oppa!” I yelled, while waving my hand in front of their faces.
Once again, there was no response. Shindong Oppa seemed like the only normal one
who continued stealing his food. I was about to go over to him to ask about what
happened, when TOP Oppa suddenly jumped in front of me and took off his shirt. “Ah!
Oppa, bwoh ya?!” I screamed while covering my virgin eyes. He took my hands away
while handing me his shirt.

“Put this on.” He said in a firm voice. I shuddered at his scary voice. Hurriedly,
I put on the shirt and faced him. “Happy now? Mr Choi Seung Hyun.” I was NOT happy.
How could he spoil my happy mood with his scary tone when I did NOTHING wrong! I
glared at him when he started chuckling. Frustrated, I took out the shirt and threw
it in his face. Then I gave him a ‘mehrong’ before walking towards Shindong Oppa,
the only one who seems normal.

“Morning Shindongie Oppa. What’s for breakfast?” I said, totally ignoring TOP Oppa.

“Morning!” Shingdong Oppa smiled. “There’s toast, porridge, eggs and lots of
others. But, we still can’t eat now. Teukie hyung said to wait for everyone, which
is why I stealing food.”

I giggled at his cuteness and whispered “Oppa, why is everyone staring? You are
like the only normal one here.”

He looked me up and down before he started laughing. “Dongsaeng ah. Remember you’re
living with 45 guys? You might want to watch what you’re wearing. It’s getting the
guys’ hormones up. Remember, Dongho and Taemin are still teens.”

I was wearing a tank top and sport shorts. It was kind of revealing, I guess. I
looked around and saw the guys staring. Now, I understand why TOP Oppa gave me his
shirt. “Oppa! Could you guys not be so pervertic? These are my PJs, okay?” I
chided.

“But, we are guys and you looked HAWT. Besides, who asked you to not change before
coming down? And, you shouldn’t have stretched too; that stretch showed us your
flat tummy.” Jiyong Oppa commented, earning him a smack from TOP Oppa.

“Aish. Teukie Oppa, can we eat now?” I turned my attention to Leeteuk Oppa,
deciding that those perverts were hopeless.
“Not before you changed.” TOP Oppa said even before Leeteuk Oppa could even reply.

I was still mad at him so I faced him and said “Mehrong. I wear what I like, Mr
Choi. Fyi, I’m still angry at you.” I continued, this time facing Leeteuk Oppa.
“Teukie Oppa, I’ve always wear this kind of stuff in US, can’t I continue wearing
them?” I put on my best puppy dog face, hoping that he would not ask me to change.
I read that he was a protective older brother yesterday, online; hopefully my aegyo
would get me through.

“Aigoo. Neomu Kyeopta!” He exclaimed while pinching my cheeks. “Aish… Ottoke?

Arraso, you can only wear this for today, no more revealing clothes from tomorrow
onwards.” He put on a firm face. Yes! Score one for Hyunmi, zero for TOP Oppa.

“Deh, Oppa!” “Hyung! Andwae! Can’t you see the looks in the boys’ eyes? They look
like they want to eat her up anytime!” I agreed at the same time as TOP Oppa
started complaining.

Not being able to control my prankster side, I went over to Taecyeon Oppa and
placed his hand on my stomach. “Taecyeonnie Oppa. Behgopah, can you feel my stomach
growling from the hunger?” I whined. My actions were immediately met with daggers
shooting from my real Oppas’ eyes. Hurriedly, Taecyeon Oppa removed his hand and
started blushing. I smirked, seeing that my plan had succeeded and walked over to
TOP Oppa, whispering in his ear. “Score Two for Hyunmi, Mr Choi.”

Then, I went to the stairs and saw Jonghyun Oppa coming downstairs while rubbing
his eyes. I think he was the last one. “Woah. Nice outfit.” He whistled and winked
at me. I rolled my eyes and ignored what he had said and made my way towards
someone.

[TOP’s POV]

Aish! Who knew that my baby sister was such a rebel? How could she flirt right in
front of me? Cheongmal! Her PJs were wayyyy to revealing. It showed some of her
cleavage and her stomach! What’s more, her shorts barely cover her butt.

I was fuming when someone touched her shoulder. “Dongsaeng, chill. She’s just
playing around. As pervertic as the guys are, they won’t do anything except
staring. So, relax and smile. Your stares are going to kill everyone around you;
Eg. Us.” Heechul Hyung said.

I raised an eyebrow upon hearing his words. Hyunmi was just teasing me? The guys’
pervert-ness were way too over to be taken as a joke. Their eyes are going to pop
out anytime soon. I glanced at the shirt in my hand. I sighed before I started to
put it back on. But, before I could, someone snatched it away.

I blinked and was about to hit that person on the head when I saw that it was
Hyunmi who was putting on the shirt. “Happy now, Seungie Oppa? Can we have
breakfast like now? Pwease?” She pouted, her eyes turning big. I smiled like no
tomorrow and ruffled her hair. “Sure.”

She grinned and happily skipped towards her seat. But, she skidded to a halt and
ran back to me, saying “Seungie Oppa. Mianhe if I had offended you just now. I was
just playing around. I just wanted to tease you. C’mon Oppa, you’re one of the
first to receive my pranks, forgive me, kay?” then, she tiptoed and kiss my cheek
before skipping off again.

I rubbed my cheek and stood there smiling like an idiot.

My Baby sister kissed me!

[Hyunmi’s POV]

A minute later, TOP Oppa appeared, with a huge smile on his face. I knew he was
happy again. I took a seat between Yoseob and Taemin Oppa and waited for Leeteuk
Oppa to start breakfast.

“Jalmukesumneda” “Jalmukesumneda”

I began gobbling down food as if I hadn’t eaten for days. “Mimi, slow down! You’re
going to choke yourself.” Jay Oppa said, his voice filled with concern.

I looked up from my bowl of porridge and saw faces of concern staring back at me.

“Waeyo? I’m really hungry. If I choke it’s all Dino Oppa and Seungie Oppa’s fault.
They made me wait so long to have breakfast.” I grumbled.

“Dino Oppa?” Eli oppa asked, confused.

“Jjong Oppa. Kim Jonghyun. Isn’t that what the ‘blingers’ call him?” I questioned
back.

“Woah! You really did a lot of research huh. Dino Oppa and blingers? His nickname
and what his fans are called. You are really pro!” Kevin Oppa praised.

I nodded and thanked him before continuing to stuff food inside my mouth.

[No One’s POV]

“Oh, by the way everyone, our 2 week breaks has been reduced to just a week. I’m
sorry for this bad news but, there are too much schedules to be completed, so we
have no choice but to start work early!” Lee Teuk Oppa broke the news.

Groans and complaints could immediately be heard.

“Stupid schedules!”

“Argh!”

“I wanted to spend more time with Hyunmi!”

Amidst all the chaos, Hyunmi was the only calm one, along with Leeteuk. “Boys, calm
down! We still one week. So spend it wisely.” Leeteuk spoke above the din. The boys
calm down as soon as the elder spoke. “Yeah, Oppas! Let’s just spend our time
together! Besides, we’ll still see each other every day!” Hyunmi said with a grin.

They nodded their head and just continued their breakfast. For a moment, all that
could be heard is the scrapping of forks against metal plates, as the idols and one
girl continued eating. All submerged in the thought of ending their free time one
week earlier. The atmosphere was gloomy. The idols have the word ‘upset’ written
all over their faces.

Unable to stand the tension that hung in the air, Hyunmi suddenly stood up. The
sound of her chair pushing against the floor caused the guys to look up and stared
at her with confused faces.

“Oppa! Don’t be like that! It’s just the first day of us being together! Let’s not
let this news affect our mood alright? Oppa!” She pouted a little. “Oppa! Let’s
play some games later, at night. We can also watch some horror movies. We’ll catch
up on our sleep later in the afternoon, or do whatever we want, okay?” Hyunmi’s
suggestion had everyone’s attention directed to her.

“Oh yeah! I’m liking your idea!” Wooyoung threw his fist in the air.

“Count me in!” Donghae yelled.

“Me too!” “Me three!”

Soon, Hyunmi had everyone agreeing with her plans and they continued breakfast in
the very noisy but cheerful atmosphere.

8.Truth Or Dare~
Are you done with chapter 7? If you are, just scroll down! :D

Chapter 8

[Narrator’s POV] (It’s somewhat similar to No One’s POV, but I might ramble at some
point of time xD )

Right now, it’s 7.30pm. All of them had finished dinner and are in the
entertainment room on the third floor. There are two of those actually. One is
filled with games equipment and all the arcade games you can think of. Eg. A
Gamer’s heaven. Whilst the second one is has a big empty space in the middle,
surrounded by some couches and loveseats, with a big plasma screen, used for
watching movies.

They are in the second room which has a big plasma screen. The idols and Hyunmi are
sat in a big circle, Hyunmi in the middle of Eli and Junho. In the middle of the
circle was a bottle, so can you guess what they are going to play?

Yup! You got it. It’s Truth or Dare!

“So… Let’s begin!” Taemin shouted, excitedly.

“Right. Let’s lay a few rules down first.” Heechul stated. “One, NO lying about
your truth, it must be absolutely true. Two, if you chose dare, you have to do it
or your punishment will be so much worse. Arraso?” He emphasized at some parts and
glared at them.
Everyone nodded because of his scary glare.

“Okay! I’ll spin the bottle first!” Heechul immediately went from ‘Scary’ to
‘Cheerful’ in a blink of an eye.

Everyone stared at him wide eyed except for the Super Junior and Shinee members. No
one could understand how he could change his expression in just a split second.
Heechul with his ‘I-don’t-care’ attitude just continued with the game.

“Ooooh. Kibum, truth or dare?” Heechul asked.

“Truth” “Truth” “Dare” three answers replied back to Heechul.

It turns out that U-kiss’s Kibum was too absorb in Heechul’s expression that he
didn’t even bother seeing who the bottle was facing; while Key were just too lazy
to take a look. For Key, since Heechul ALWAYS calls him by his real name, he
thought it was him. Suju’s Kibum actually took a look and saw that it was him,
which was why he answered.

Everyone burst out laughing at the answers.

“Too many Kibums!” Eli laughed.

U-kiss’s Kibum blushed from the laughter, while Key just shrugged it off with his
usual Diva-like character. “Well, I thought the bottle likes me too much.”

“So, Kibum said truth, any questions?” Heechul said, continuing the game.

“Who’s your favourite? Yoona or Donghae?” Taemin asked, knowing that Kibum likes
Yoona; while KiHae was very popular with fans.

Immediately with the question being asked, ‘oohs’ and ‘ahhs’ could be heard from
the guys; while Donghae looked at Kibum with his puppy eyes, wanting to confirm the
KiHae love.

“Kibummie Oppa likes Yoona? As Im Yoona-ssi from So Nyeo Shi Dae? Omo! Why didn’t I
know?” Hyunmi squealed in a fan-girl way. Then, she pouted. “But, you guys didn’t
answer me when I asked the question yesterday! Aish. Whatever~ So Kibummie Oppa,
who will you chose?”

Kibum blushed as his secrets got found out. He looked flustered for a few moments
before answering the question.

“Im Yoona.”

Cheers erupted while Donghae started fake-crying. And, here comes a drama scene~

“Bummie! How could you do this to meeeee? I’m so hurt! Boohoo! Hyukkie, ottoke?
Bummie doesn’t want me anymore! Sobs”

Donghae then lean on Eunhyuk, who was sitting beside him. Eunhyuk pretended to pat
the younger one on the head and wipe his fake tears away.

“Its okay, Fishy. You still have me, Eunhae FOREVER!” Eunhyuk then turned Donghae’s
head and looked at him in the eyes, smiling a gummy smile.

The others just burst out with laughter. Some were rolling on the ground while
others were leaning on each other for support. Kibum kept blushing and scratch his
nape, before deciding to ignore his Hyungs and Dongsaengs and just spun the bottle.
The boys straightened up upon seeing that the bottle was already spinning and this
time the bottle spun to Siwon.

“Truth or Dare, Siwon Hyung?” Kibum questioned.

“Dare”

“Memememe!!! Hyung, I’ve got one!” Yoseob said yelled. “Siwon hyung! Do the
‘zzangu’ dance while singing ‘Twins’ at the TOP of your voice!” He continued,
without waiting for any approval.

“Eh?! Zzangu dance?” Siwon was horrified, he was known for his looks and that one
dance would ruin ALL his reputation that he had built so hard for. But, then, being
a good sport he was, he stood up and did it shyly.

“Eh. Aniya, this is not the way to do it. You do it like this.” Daesung stood up
and showed Siwon the REAL way of doing it.

Siwon could only stare at Daesung as the younger one began doing the ridiculous
dance. Siwon’s eyes were about to pop open when Daesung started singing ‘Twins’ in
a totally off tune voice. Then, Daesung sang the song with an American accent which
he failed at.

Everyone fell about laughing at Daesung’s dorkiness.

I would laugh too, I mean IMAGINE our dear Daesungie doing that!

Daesung took a little bow at the end of his little performance while he received a
thunderous applause from his very pleased audience. He winked at Siwon as he sat
down, saying the words “Hyung! That’s how you do it!” Daesung didn’t even have the
slightest hint of embarrassment as he embraced the attention that was on him. That
and the response from the ‘audience’ gave Siwon the encouragement he needed.

Gathering his courage, the well-build man stood up and attempted to do the dare
again. However, this time he did larger actions and sang in an awful England
accent. Siwon even went to the extent of adding his own funny movements. With a
grin on his face, he ended the performance, feeling proud of what he had done.

Siwon had received an even larger response from the people watching then Daesung
did. This time some of the guys actually cried, so did Hyunmi.

“T-That was awe-AWESOME! Hyung!” Chansung’s clear but a little breathless voice
rang through the room.

Hearing that compliment, Siwon smiled and took a seat, spinning the bottle.

After an hour and half~

The 46 of them went through a series of truths and dares, revealing many secrets
and the dares made everyone laugh.

Like how Shindong finally confessed that Nari had agreed to be his girlfriend.

Eli dressing up as a girl along with Eunhyuk, Jiyong and Junhyung dancing to Far
East Movement’s ‘Like a G6’ with all of them being the rappers and singing in a
girly voice when it was time to sing. (Boy! I would like to see that! All the
rappers doing that!)
Hyunseung, Yesung and Minho taking turns to confess to Hyunmi and seeing who would
win her heart. Yesung won, with his soulful voice and his romantic line ‘My eyes
can only see you, my ears can only hear you, my lips can only kiss yours and my
heart can only beat with you around.’ Hyunseung impressed the little lady with his
dancing skills, while Minho rapped, his eyes focusing on Hyunmi the whole time.

Hyunmi had to dance a sexy dance with her choosing dare. No matter how much her
Oppas had opposed, the Heedictator wins all fight. And so, her dance had gotten all
the attention of the younger guys in the room staring at her.

Henry confesses that the most embarrassing that happened was him getting dumped by
the most nerdy girl in school when he was 12 in front of the whole school; while
Wooyoung ‘s was farting so loud in the middle of a talk in High School.

The bottle was now facing Nickkhun, who had chosen truth.

“So, Khunnie Hyung, who do you like better? Your virtual wife, Victoria or
Hyunmi?” Soohyun asked.

Hyunmi sucked in a deep breath, upon hearing the question. Crossing her fingers,
she listened intently to Nickkhun’s answer.

“Hyunmi, of course” Nickkhun answered with an eye smile, meeting Hyunmi’s eyes.

Hyunmi blushed when she found Nickkhun’s black eyes looking into hers.

“Oooh~ Love’s in the air~” Seungri teased.

“Thanks Oppa!~” Hyunmi said cheerfully while returning Nickkhun’s eye smile with
one of her own.

“Yah! Yah! Yah! Andwae! My baby sis is too young for this!” Jaebom hurriedly
covered Hyunmi’s eyes, being the protective brother. While Doojoon grabbed a
cushion and threw it at Nickkhun, who was still staring at the younger girl.

And, that was the start of the pillow fight. The entertainment room did not have
much pillows or cushions, so those who didn’t have a weapon resorted to tickling
people. The room was soon filled with shrieks and screams, with cushions flying
around the room and feathers falling on the ground like snow.

Even Leeteuk and Heechul were joining in the fun. No doubt, the one enjoying the
most were the maknaes and the fake maknaes- Hyunmi, Taemin, Dongho, Yoseob,
Dongwoon, Chansung, Henry, Seungri, Daesung and Jiyong.

[Hyunmi’s POV]

This feels like home.

9.Hyoyeon to the rescue~

Chapter 9

[Hyunmi’s / Your POV]

Waking up, I glanced at my clock which read 6.30am. I had a good sleep last night,
well; I should probably make the Oppas breakfast. As I brushed my teeth, I realized
that today was just the third day of knowing them and yet, I feel like I’ve known
them for 10 years already.

After brushing my teeth, I undressed myself and realized that I was having my
monthly visit. Thinking nothing of it, I hurriedly finish my bath and went down to
prepare breakfast.

As I cooked, I thought about what happened yesterday.

We had spent the whole day in the games room, playing all the games. Kyuhyun Oppa
had pawned all games competitions, which was nothing surprising according to the
other Oppas . All the Oppas who love dancing had spent their time there, hogging
the dance machine; having countless PKs. Teukie Oppa who loves MC-ing, went around
hosting competitions. There was a small noraebang at the corner of the room and the
Singer Oppas had surrounded it, stealing snatching the mikes from each other. The
other Oppas had spent their time fooling around and playing arcade games.

After an hour, I was finally done with breakfast. The Oppas were coming down for
breakfast and I was bringing the plates into the dining room when a sharp pain
attacked my stomach. Damn! Cramps! My cramps come only in between a few months, and
when they do come, they get real bad. I am so unlucky! I didn’t want my Oppas to
see me being that weak. Hopefully, the cramps will go away soon.

Ignoring the pain, I plastered a smile on my face and greeted the Oppas as they
came down.

After 15 minutes, we were all seated, the pain started getting worse. Teukie Oppa
started the breakfast and everyone started grabbing their utensils, eating
hungrily. Before, I could even take a bite; I felt the vomit coming and rushed
towards the toilet.

I heard the scraping of chairs and footsteps as the Oppas ran after me. I tried to
get up after vomiting the only cup of hot chocolate I had in the morning to close
the door. I didn’t want the Oppas to see me in this horrible state. But, before I
could, Key Oppa had rushed in and was patting my back. I fought with the urge to
puke again and lightly pushed him away.

“Go-go a-away O-Oppa. You d-don’t nee-need to s-see m-me like this.” I said weakly.
Pain had taken over and I vomited once again. Key Oppa just continues patting my
back while comforting me. “Hey, you need someone to take care of you right? Are you
having your monthly visit?” I nodded as I lay lifelessly in his arms. I hate
cramps!

“Uh oh… As motherly as I am, I’m not good with this.” Key Oppa hesitated, wondering
what to do.

“Oppa, I’ll take care of myself. Just go out.” I whispered, wanting only to lie
down. The other Oppas had gathered at the door and were watching me with worried
faces. I guess they had never encountered anything like this. I saw Hyunseung’s
Oppa all scrunched up in concentration and smiled a little; it felt good to know
someone was worried about you.

Suddenly, Hyunseung Oppa snapped his fingers and said excitedly. “Hey! We can call
our yoja hoobaes from our own companies! Well, there had to be someone who is
available to help us with Hyunmi’s condition right?”

[No one’s POV]

Hearing Hyunseung’s wise suggestion, the other guys began searching for their
phones; cursing from time to time. Then, out of the blue, Eunhyuk shouted. “WAIT! I
KNOW SOMEONE WHO CAN COME! WE WERE GOING TO PRACTICE DANCE TODAY IN HER FREE TIME!
I’LL CALL HER NOW!”

Soon, the idols all crowded around Eunhyuk, wanting to know who the lady was;
except for Key and the 6 older brothers who were still beside Hyunmi. However, much
to their disappointment, there was no answer as the phone call didn’t reveal
anything, while Eunhyuk had refused to say a thing after the phone call.

15 minutes later, a doorbell ring was heard. The excited ones like Yoseob and
Taemin ran to open the door. The door swung open to reveal a very tired looking…
KIM HYOYEON. She looked up and shouted to Eunhyuk “Yah! Monkey! What’s so urgent?!
I had to get a cab here and I had to rush to change my clothes. It better be
something good!”

“Noona, gwenchana?” Dongho asked, concerned about the older girl. Hyoyeon smiled at
the innocent looking boy while glaring at Eunhyuk, she was woken up by the older
boy’s call and had left the house hurriedly, without even eating breakfast. The
girl had planned to sleep in since it was her free day but had to wake up at 8am
because of her sunbae. Her irresponsible sunbae who had said that there was an
emergency and was to go to the given address and just hang up on her afterwards.

From the kitchen washroom, Leeteuk anxiously shouted, “Yah! Bring Hyoyeon in! What
are you guys still there stalling? My baby sis is in PAIN!”

Hearing the panic in Leeteuk’s voice, Hyoyeon rushed in the house without waiting
for the response of the guys surrounding her. She slightly gasped as she saw a pale
looking girl lying in Key’s arms, squirming about, holding her stomach. The girl’s
face clearly showed that she was in pain.

“She’s having her monthly visit.” Onew said to the dancing queen, who was standing
still slightly shock. Then, Hyoyeon’s motherly instinct took over her as she
kneeled down to take a closer look at the girl, while passing her bag to the
nearest person, which was Jay. She brushed the hair from the younger girl’s
forehead while asking for her name. “Hyunmi.” Xander provided the information.

Hyoyeon nodded while instructing Leeteuk to carry the girl up to her room. She then
ordered Doojoon to prepare a hot water pack for Hyunmi and TOP to get the first aid
kit and a glass of warm water. She then proceeded to Hyunmi’s room with Xander
leading the way.

As soon as she had gotten the things she asked for, Hyoyeon had helped Hyunmi sit
up with Leeteuk supporting the latter. Hyoyeon found the right medication for
Hyunmi and made her eat it. Then, she made the younger girl lie down on the bed
while putting the hot water pack on her stomach. Hyoyeon then gently told Hyunmi to
go to sleep while she began messaging the younger girl’s arms and legs.
Soon, Hyunmi fell asleep as her breathing got more even. But, Hyoyeon’s hands never
stop working their magic, only after 15 minutes that she stops. Not wanting to wake
up Hyunmi, Hyoyeon lightly lifted up the cover and put it over Hyunmi. Tiptoeing,
she gathered up all the items she had used and went down the stairs with Leeteuk.

The guys were having their breakfast while waiting anxiously for Hyoyeon and
Leeteuk. Doojoon, TOP and Xander had left after making sure that Hyoyeon had what
she needed, only leaving Leeteuk there to help Hyoyeon.

As soon as she entered the living room, Hyoyeon was bombarded with questions. The
boys behaved like paparazzi and reporters, wanting to know Hyunmi’s condition.
Leeteuk silenced them with his glare and Hyoyeon spoke. “She’s fine, sleeping now.”
The boys then smiled, knowing their dongsaeng was alright.

It was then when Hyoyeon realized the amount of guys standing in front of her.
“WOAH. Hold up a moment. Why are there so many idol groups here? Teukie Oppa, you
said you have new siblings and was going to move another place because of that. Are
they your siblings? All of them?” Hyoyeon was beyond shocked to see so many guys in
front of her and the fact that they might be the brothers of her close sunbae.

Leeteuk let out his ‘special’ laughter and started explaining the confused girl.

“No, Hyo. You got it all wrong. Yes, I moved here because of my siblings but no,
not all of them are my siblings. Only Jay, TOP, Onew, Doojoon and Xander are. So is
Hyunmi, the girl who you helped just now is my baby sis. We are all half siblings,
same dad, different mums. Our dad passed away recently, he arranged for us to take
care of Hyunmi and wanted us to live together. So, we had to bring along our
bandmates too.”

This speech by Leeteuk enlighted Hyoyeon who had been very mixed up about their
relationships.

“Ahh… So, it’s like this.” Hyoyeon said, at the same time, her stomach growling.
She blushed, upon hearing her hungry stomach. Eunhyuk smacked his head while
ordering Minho to get some breakfast for Hyoyeon. “Mian! Hyoraengi! I forgot you
haven’t eaten!”

“Yah! Monkey you better treat me to something good next time!” Hyoyeon laughed as
she took a seat.

[Hyunmi’s POV]

I woke up, feeling much better than I did in the morning. I vaguely remember a very
pretty Unnie feeding me medication and helping me to massage my legs. I made a
mental note to thank her if I see her.

The pain was gone and was replaced by hunger. I stepped out of bed and proceeded
downstairs.

The clock in the living room showed 1pm, oooh! Time for lunch! I arrived at the
living room to find the Oppas all watching tv with a few exceptions, who were
playing their games. A head turned and I saw the face of the pretty Unnie staring
at me.

“Oh! Hyunmi! You’re up! Are you feeling better?” She asked her face full of
concern. “I’ve made some porridge for you, since you’re still not feeling so well;
do you want to have some now?”

At her statement, all heads turn around, facing my direction. I smiled and said.
“Oppas, don’t worry. I’m fine now. Unnie, may I know what’s your name? Thank you
very much for taking care of me just now.” I bowed 90 degrees.

She got off the couch and came over, taking my hand.

“I’m Hyoyeon, Kim Hyoyeon from So Nyeo Shi Dae. Don’t be so formal, you’re Teukie
Oppa’s dongsaeng which also means you’re my dongsaeng. Now, do you want some
porridge?”

I grinned at her words. “Neh, unnie. I think we’ll be very good friends! Has anyone
told you that you’re so pretty?”

Her smile reached her ears, upon hearing my compliment.

“You’re one sweet talker.”

And, we spent the rest of the afternoon chatting and fooling around with the rest
of the Oppas.

10.Hello Drama~! Erm.. I mean Yoona!

Chapter 10

[No one’s POV]

Today is the last day of the one week break. The idols and Hyunmi had finished
their dinner and were now doing their own stuff.

Some were practicing for their own comebacks in their individual practice rooms.
There were three of them; the SM boys sharing one, the JYP and CUBE boys sharing
one and U-Kiss and Big Bang sharing one. Beast and U-Kiss were practicing, while
the rest of the groups were gathered in front of the TV, engrossed with the show
“My girlfriend is a Gumiho”.

Out of the blue, the doorbell suddenly rang. Everyone looked at each other,
confused. No one was expecting anyone to come over, besides it was late at night
already.

“Yah, third maknae, get the door.” Junho ordered, indicating for Tamin to open the
door since he was the third youngest.

“Wae~ Hyung~ Shiroyo~” Taemin whined, showing his famous aegyo.

“Oppa, I’ll get it.” Hyunmi volunteered, dragging Kyuhyun along, whose hand was
attached to hers.

“Aish! Cheongmal, Hyunnie! Must you be so kind?” Kyuhyun grunted. The young man was
lazy to stand up from his comfortable position on the couch.

Kyuhyun and Hyunmi both called each other ‘Hyunnie’ as they both had a ‘Hyun’ in
their names. Hyunseung and both Seunghyun’s had been rejected by Kyuhyun from
having that nickname as he had been the one to come up with the idea.

Seeing Kyuhyun’s disapproving face, Hyunmi smiled and said “Aigoo, Yeobo. It’s just
a short trip to the door.” She then opened the door, only to find a smiling Hyoyeon
in front of her.

“Hyoyeon Unnie!” Hyunmi screamed and hugged her with Kyuhyun’s hand still laced
with hers.

“Annyeong Mimi!” Hyoyeon greeted cheerfully,

“Ehem. Hyo, you’re supposed to introduce us, not hog on to her.” A disapproving
voice said.

Hyunmi released her grasp on Hyoyeon and saw the source of voice. A pretty lady
with super long legs was staring at her them. The lady was looking a little
impatient though. Hyunmi tilted her head and glanced curiously at the lady. ‘She
looked kind of familiar but I just can’t place where I have seen her before.’

Just then, Kyuhyun ruffled the short hair of the lady and chuckled.

“Well, well, if it isn’t the ever impatient Choi Sooyoung.”

Sooyoung grinned ‘Well, hello to you Evil Maknae”

“Your manners are as good as your patience; which sadly is ZERO.” Kyuhyun teased.

“Yah!” Sooyoung screamed.

“Enough! Aish! Maknae, must you ALWAYS do this to Sooyoungie? Kangin came over and
chided Kyuhyun.

“Kangin Oppa!” A shorter but more mature looking girl greeted Kangin. That girl was
pretty too, having small eyes and she looked really friendly.

“Can we ignore their childishness and you introduce Hyunmi to us? She looks really
lost, oh, and can we come in?”

By this time, the rest of the guys were already restless and had come over to see
what was happening. Leeteuk, being the ever sensible one, shouted for ever sensible
one, shouted for everyone to move from the door and allow the girls to come in.

As the girls started coming in, Hyunmi let out a huge gasp as she realized who they
were and how big a group they had came in. The girls she had converse with just
now, were the most famous girl group in Korea, SNSD. They had came with F(x), Miss
A, 4 Minute, Girl’s Day, Kara, 2NE1 and G.NA.

Upon seeing the older girls in front of her, Hyunmi immediately bow and greeted
them. “Annyeonghasayo, Sunbaenims. Pangasimida. Choneun Park Hyunmi imida.”

Beast and U-Kiss had came down from their practice when Henry had went up and
inform them of the girls’ arrival.

Upon reaching the ground level, Eli’s hand immediately went around Hyunmi’s waist.
“Hey baby, sorry that we couldn’t spend time together.” Eli apologized, before
winking at the blushing girl.

“Ehem.” Someone cleared their throat. “Hyung, don’t be too intimate with my Jagiya.
We have guests.” Dongwoon reminded Eli.
Hyunmi turned a darker shade of pink and immediately apologized to the girls,
bowing three times. “Jwesonghapmida.” Embarrassed, she hid behind Kyuhyun’s back
her hands holding on to the back of his shirt. Seungri chortled and teased “Aww~
Our baby girl is shy~”

“Yah Hyung! Baby is my nickname! Not yours!” Eli shot Seungri a look.

“Cut it out, you guys! Introductions have not been made yet.” Siwon intervened the
two childish guys.

Taking the hint, Taeyeon started introducing her group.

“Jigemeun So Nyeo Shi Dae! Annyeong Hasayo, So Nyeo Shi Dae imida.

I’m Taeyeon.

Jessica.

Sunny!~

Tiffany!~

Hyoyeon!

Sooyoungie~

Yoona.

Seohyun imida.”

“Annyeonghasayo, Kara imida. I’m Gyuri. This is Seungyeon, Nicole, Hara and
Jiyoung.”

“Annyeong~ I’m G.NA unnie. I’m a solo artist!”

“4 Minute imida. Jihyun imida.

I’m Gayoon.

I’m Hyuna. And that is Soyeon and Jiyoon unnie.”

“Anneyong! We are 2NE1! I’m Dara unnie! This is Bom, CL and Minzy!”

“Hi I’m Min! I’m from Miss A. This are my members, Fei Unnie, Jia Unnie and Suzy!~”

“Anneyonghasayo! Girl’s Day imida! I’m Minah! This is Jihae Unnie, Sojin Unnie,
Yura Unnie and Hyeri~”

“Halo! We’re from F(x)! I’m Victoria, this is Luna, Amber, Sulli and Krystal~”

After the introductions, Wooyoung piped up and asked “So, why are you girls here so
late?”

“Oh, Oppa. We are here to visit the lengendary Hyunmi! Keke~” Nicole from Kara said
with a smile.

“News travel~ We are here late because our schedules ended not long ago.” Girl’s
Day’s Sojin said.

“By the way, Hyunmi call us Unnie! Don’t be so formal!” Fei from Miss A spoke.

“Deh.” Hyunmi agreed.

“Wah~ My jagiya is so popular!” Dongwoon went over to Hyunmi who was now back to
holding Kyuhyun’s hand and pinched her cheeks. Hyunmi pouted cutely and pinched
back Dongwoon’s cheeks, showing affection to each other.

“Oh, Oppas. Can Yoong rest in one of your guest rooms? She’s not feeling well.”
Tiffany asked, her face full of concern for the young one.

“Sure. Kibum, take her to the gu-“ Kangin’s sentence got interrupted by Chansung’s
voice.

“Hyung! The guest room is not ready yet. Take her to Hyunmi’s room instead.”

Kibum then went over to Yoona with a red face as the guys began winking at him,
reminding him about his crush for the younger girl.”

As Kibum helped Yoona up to the room, the rest of the idols split up and
disappeared into the different parts of the house mansion.

Shinee along with F(x) and Kara went to the games room.

2PM and Miss A went to the garden.

Beast, 4 Minute, G.NA and U-Kiss with Girl’s Day went back to their individual
practice rooms.

The YG artists went to the mini movie theatre for a movie marathon.

The Suju boys and SNSD girls stayed in the living room watching this time “Secret
Garden”.

Kibum had came down, allowing Yoona to get some rest. While, Hyunmi had slipped out
of Kyuhyun’s hold and went to the kitchen to cook some porridge for Yoona.

[Hyunmi’s POV]

I’m so happy! I got to see Hyo Unnie again! The other unnies were really cool and
pretty.
Right now, I’m cooking some porridege for Yoona Unnie. She really looks like she’s
in pain, I think she got her monthly visit. ‘Better get her some medicine later’

I carefully scooped up the hot porridge and put it in a tray with medication and a
glass of warm water. I carefully went up the stairs to not disturbed the Oppas and
Unnies. I definitely don’t want to get caught by them or specifically, my Yeobo,
Baby and Jagiya. Kyuhyun, Eli and Dongwoon Oppa. They were getting wayyy too
serious and clingy and affectionate with the nickname calling thing.

Although I admit, it feels kinda good.

I made it into my room without anyone noticing and lightly knocked on the door
before going in. Yoona Unnie’s back was facing me but you could tell that she
wasn’t asleep yet by her harsh and uneven breathing.

“Yoona Unnie, I brought you some medication, please take some. Then, you can have
the porridge I made, so you’ll feel better soon.” I smiled as she turned to me and
sat up.

[No One’s POV]

“Stop acting like you care.” Yoona’s voice came out sharp and cold.

Hyunmi stopped short when she heard Yoona’s words. ‘I must have heard it wrongly.’
She thought.

Holding up the medication and glass of water, Hyunmi put it in front of Yoona,
urging the older girl to take it. “Unnie, please take the medicine, it’ll help you
get better.” She smiled sweetly.

“I don’t want to.” Yoona rejected the younger girl’s kind offer.

Hyunmi’s smile faltered but still, she didn’t give up. She was bent on getting the
older girl better. She put the tablets and water down and instead, pick up the bowl
of porridge. She put on small smile, and scoop a spoon of the porridge, trying her
best to get Yoona to eat it.

Then, Yoona lost it.

“YAH! PARK HYUNMI! STOP ACTING LIKE YOU’RE SO DAMN KIND AND INNOCENT! YOU ARE
NOTHING BUT A SLUT! DON’T ACT LIKE YOU DON’T KNOW IT! CALLING KYUHYUN OPPA ‘YEOBO’,
NEXT ELI ‘BABY’ AND THEN DONGWOON ‘JAGIYA’! YOU’RE SUCH A FLIRT! HOLDING HANDS,
HUGGING, PINCHING CHEEKS! WHAT’S NEXT?! FRENCH KISS?! DON’T ACT LIKE YOU DON’T KNOW
HOW MANY HEARTS YOU BROKE! DO YOU KNOW HOW HORRIBLE THE GIRLS FELT WATCHING YOU
GETTING INTIMATE WITH THE OPPAS?! DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH YOUR ACTIONS HAVE HURT US?!
STOP YOUR HYPOCRITE ACT! IT MAKES ME SICK! GET OUT! I DON’T WANT TO SEE YOU!”

With her last sentence, Yoona threw the bowl of porridge from Hyunmi’s hands and
lay down, turning her back against the poor girl.

What Yoona didn’t see was the porridge scalding Hyunmi’s hands. Yoona had let anger
take over her; she had failed to see Hyunmi’s hurt expressions and tears that were
threatening to fall.

Hyunmi hadn’t dare to let out a sound as the hot porridge met with her cold, pale
skin. She had been afraid of making the older girl even more angry. Yoon had hurt
the shattering of the bowl as it made contact with the floor, but, she had been too
upset to even care.
Suppressing her tears and pain, Hyunmi made her way to the bathroom and cleaned her
hands. She grabbed a cloth and started cleaning up the mess, picking up the glass
pieces. Yoona’s words had been stuck in Hyunmi’s head, like a song on repeat mode.
“Ouch!” Hyunmi winced softly as blood started flowing at the cut Hyunmi had made on
her right hand. She hadn’t been concentrating on picking up the glass but on
Yoona’s words.

Biting her lips, she hurriedly cleared up the mess, throwing the glass pieces into
the bin. She grabbed a hoodie and a handkerchief, tying the small cloth on to her
right hand before apologizing to Yoona and leaving the room.

[Hyunmi’s POV]

I couldn’t bear it anymore, I could feel the tears coming. I hid my hand into the
hoodie’s front pocket and cleared my voice.

“Taeyeon Unnie.” My voice rang through the living room. “Yoo-Yoona Unnie says she’s
not feeling too well and wants you there.” My voice was shaky as I said her name,
but I managed to keep my face composed.

The SNSD Unnies immediately ran up to her. Shoot. The Suju Oppas were still here.

“Oppa, go check on her too. I’m going to meet my friend for some girl-time. I’ll be
back. Oh, and Ryeowook Oppa, Yoona Unnie wants to eat your porridge.”

Using my left hand, I threw on a pair of sneakers while yelling goodbye in a fake,
cheerful voice and ran out of the house without a backward glance.

The moment I ran out of the door, the waterworks started.

But, I didn’t stop, not for a long time.

11.Feelings and Mystery guy

Chapter 11

[Hyunmi’s POV]

Am I really a slut? What did I do to hurt the unnies? By calling the Oppas
nicknames and playing along with them? Was it wrong? I really don’t know. What am I
going to do now? Where do I go? I can’t go back right? The Oppas won’t believe me.

Appa, what am I suppose to do? Who can protect me now? Appa, what did I do wrong?
Am I a slut for behaving like that? Appa, please tell me what to do!

I always thought it was just for fun, just to make the Oppas happy. Was I wrong?

Do the Unnies like the Oppas? Is that why she said that I hurt their feelings? I
don’t know. I feel so lost what do I do?

Appa! Chebal! Please send someone to help me. I don’t want to go back. I don’t want
to be a… slut….

I’m not one…. Right?....

I’m an idiot right? This is worse than seeing Mom having an affair…

Perhaps, I’m just an idiot who doesn’t know her place…

I’m lost… I wasn’t pretending to be innocent… I really don’t know what I did… I was
just… being friendly to the Oppas… I used to do that to him too… To my other guy
friends…

Kelly, Jean and her never did call me a slut…

Being affectionate to someone… Is that wrong?

I wasn’t lying about caring for her, I really was concern. Somehow, it was wrong
too…

Appa… what do I do now?

I’m really… Lost…

I’m really… hurt...

Isn’t this supposed to be a better place?

I finally stop running after God knows how long. Looking around, I took in my
surroundings.

I was at a playground; where there was no one around.

Sitting at the bench, I realized how pathetic I looked now.

With streams of tears that are running down my face, my nose red like a reindeer
and swollen eyes. And, with nowhere to go. Wow. I think this is the most horrible
day of my life. I don’t even have a shelter to go to. No one to protect me.

What do I do?

I’m a pathetic girl who just got screamed at but doesn’t even know what she did.

What did I do wrongly? Playing with the Oppas?

I’m really desperate for an answer huh, now I’m repeating my questions over and
over.

I’m having a headache, my hand is still bleeding and hurting from the scalding, my
heart feels like a target board that has been shot with a hundred arrows; each
pierced deeper than the other. And, now, I’ve no place to stay at.

It’s what, 9 at night? And, I don’t have a place to rest for the night. I don’t
have money to buy bandages for my right hand.

You could just add a rain storm right now, and it would look just like a movie
scene.
Park Hyunmi, how did you become so pathetic? I guess I have to spend the night
here.

I’ve no choice, right?

I shouldn’t keep blaming her, right?

After all, it was my fault too right?

For being too friendly with the Oppas. I think she’s right after all. This is
Korea, not America. So, I should be more respectful and not get so close to the
Oppas. I should keep my distance and just be a dongsaeng to the Oppas. No nickname
calling anymore. Just call them by their real names except for my real Oppas.

Yes, Park Hyunmi. You should do that.

But, why do I feel so miserable that I can’t do that with them?

I should be glad that not doing that will not make me like a slut.

I should… right?

Maybe, she’s right.

Maybe, I’m just a slut. For being so close to them.

“Are you okay? Why are you crying? And, why is your hand bleeding?”

I turned, only to find a concern looking guy staring back at me.

[No one’s POV]

Upon seeing Hyunmi’s face facing his, the guy gently rub his thumb against her
cheeks to wipe away her tears.

‘Why am I doing this? I can’t stand her crying… She looks so vulnerable… I don’t
think she’s a fan. Should I help her?’ The mystery guy was about to open his mouth
to ask her one of his many questions when she beat him to it.

“Who are you?” was the only words that came out of Hyunmi’s mouth as she stared
into the mesmerizing eyes of the stranger in front of her.
12."BWOH?! STAYING WITH YOU?!"

Chapter 12

[No one’s POV]

“Who are you?”

The mystery guy smiled as he took Hyunmi’s right hand and opened the handkerchief,
frowning as he saw how big the wound was. He threw away Hyunmi’s handkerchief since
it was pretty much useless because of the stain of the blood; and took out his own
to wrap around her right hand. The shocked girl had only stared at the gentleness
of the man in front of her.

Giving her a warm smile, he finally spoke, though it wasn’t the answer Hyunmi had
wanted.

“How about you tell me what happened first? Why are you here so late at night? Why
were you crying? And what happened to your hand? Answer my questions then I’ll tell
you.”

Hyunmi would have stared at him as if he was an alien if she was the normal Hyunmi.

But, she wasn’t.

She just looked at the stranger with watery eyes, debating in her heart, whether or
not to tell the truth. ‘Should I just make up a fake story? I don’t even know him.
Yes, I should just li-’

“Please don’t lie. I just want to help.” He said sincerely, staring into Hyunmi’s
eyes.

Hyunmi couldn’t help but stared back at his eyes. His eyes were full of nothing but
sincerity and concern. Hyunmi took a deep breath before letting out all the
feelings she had been keeping inside her all along.

She told him the full story of what Yoona had did before telling him all her doubts
and feelings.

“Hey, it’s okay. Everything is going to be alright. Ssh, don’t cry. It’s okay.” The
guy had closed the distance between them and Hyunmi was now in his arms.

After a few more moments of crying, Hyunmi finally sat up from the hug and wiped
away her tears.

“Mianhe. To dump all of this on you.” She apologized.

“Gwenchana. Are you feeling better now?” The stranger asked.

Hyunmi nodded.

“Good! Kaja! Let’s go get you some bandages and food!” The stranger cheered and
grabbed Hyunmi’s hand before pulling her to the nearest convenience store.

Hyunmi stared at the guy, bewildered. ‘Why is he pulling me to get bandage? I

barely know him. Wait, I must do something!’
She pulled his hand and stopped walking. Feeling the tug, he turned and looked at
her with a ‘huh?’ expression.

“Why are you so nice to me? I don’t even know you.” Hyunmi stated as a matter of
fact.

He chuckled. “After telling me your story, you still don’t believe me?”

“Ani! It’s just… I don’t even know who you are and you already know a lot about
me.” Hyunmi quickly denied.

“Well, then I should probably tell you who I am huh.” His eyes were twinkling with
amusement.

“But, then again, what fun would it be if I tell you? Wouldn’t it be more fun for
you to figure it out yourself?”

Hyunmi could only stare at the guy in front of her as he refused yet once more, to
tell her who he is.

“Can I have a clue? Please?” Hyunmi asked, putting on her puppy dog face.

The stranger couldn’t resist it and pinched her cheeks, saying. “Let’s just say,
one of my specialties is playing the piano. Now, let’s go.”

He then pulled her in the opposite direction from where they were originally
heading.

“Jakamanyo, aren’t we going to the convenience store?” Hyunmi asked, realizing the
different road they were taking.

“We WERE going there, but, now, I’m just going to bring you back to the dorm. It’s
easier since you’ll be staying with us there for the next three days anyway.”

“BWOH?! STAYING WITH YOU?!”

13.We are...

Chapter 13

[No one’s POV]

Hyunmi could only gape as she stepped into the dorm of the unknown stranger. The
doorway was filled with shoes and there was barely room to walk.

“Ahh, mian. My boys doesn’t keep them properly, we were too busy. Cheongmal
mianhe.”
The stranger then started to arrange the shoes to make room for walking and put out
a pair of slippers for Hyunmi. He then led Hyunmi to the living room and sat her
down, while he went to the bathroom, searching for the first-aid kit.

[Hyunmi’s POV]

Okay. So, how did I get myself into this mess?

What am I doing in the dorm of a stranger.

Hold up. I must calm down and think of how to make my escape, I mean afterall, he
could be a rapist for all I know!

“Hyung! You’re back! What took you so long! I’m hungryyyyy! I want my dukbokki!”

I turned, only to find a teenage looking boy running towards the living room.
Before I could even react, he jumped on me and we fell on to the couch, with him
lying on top of me.

“Hyungs! Come out now! We have a crazy unknown stalker in our living room! Palli!”
He hollered before leaning his face closer to mine.

I was so shocked that I couldn’t even talk. I just stared at him as his face inched
closer and closer.

‘So I was right! That guy was a rapist! He brought me in to rape me! With his
accomplices! Ahh! What do I do now?!’

That guy’s gaze travelled to my lips and my eyes went wide.

He was going to kiss me!

I was going to shout for help when someone shouted

“Yah! Bang Chul Yong! What are you doing?!”

The Bang Chul Yong guy hurriedly got off me and pointed at me to a gruff looking
guy. Taking the chance, I quickly sat up and hugged a cushion as I stared warily at
both of the guys in front of me.

“Hyung! She’s a crazy stalker who came into our house!!!” Bang Chul Yong shouted.

The other guy looked at him and then to me.

“Mir, does she look like a stalker to you? She didn’t rush into our room or scream
when she saw us! And, didn’t you realize that her hand is hurt? How can you just
tackle her like that? Aish! Jinja! You really have no common sense at times! Pabo!”
He knocked Mir’s/ Bang Chul Yong’s head and walked towards me.

“Annyeong. I’m G.O. , you can call me Byung Hee. Who are you?” He smiled.

Instinctively, I moved back. His smile looks genuine, but heck, I couldn’t take the
chance after what the Mir guy had done to me. I hugged my cushion even harder and
slowly moved further away.

“Hey Hyunmi! I got your- Yah! Bouya shin ningoya?!” I heard the familiar voice and
knew it was the mystery guy.
As fast as lightning, I ran towards him and hid behind him. He was the only person
I knew. Seeing my fear of the Mir and G.O. guy, he started to scold them.

“Yah! Maknae! What did you do to her that she’s so frightened?! And you! Jung Byung
Hee! I thought you were old enough, but what is this? Why is she shaking so badly?
Man, you guys! Don’t even ask about anything!”

Mir was about to say something but got shot down by a glare from mystery guy.

It was then when it hit me.

He was the one who brought me here!

I started backing away from the devil who brought me here. I looked around
frantically, trying to find my way out. But, being the clumsy person I was, I just
had to bump into something. No wait, someone.

I turned and look up, only to find myself staring into a very handsome face.

‘Woah. That guy was hot.’

“Erm, hi? Hyung, who is sh-“ His words broke the magic.

I snapped back to my senses and started running into a random room, not even caring
about where I was going. I run into the room and slammed the door behind me, making
sure I had locked it before sliding onto the ground.

“Whew, that was close!” I spoke out loud.

Just then, I felt someone staring at me. I slowly looked up, hoping that what I
thought wasn’t true. But, damn, just my luck.

Yup, you got it right. There was another guy with headphones around his neck
looking at me.

I gulped and blurted out. “No please! Don’t rape me! Chebal!”

His eyes widened before he burst out in laughter. I tilt my head and look at him
curiously. What was so funny?

He finally stop laughing after awhile and took off his headphones and squat down in
front of me.

“You’re really cute. What makes you think I’m going to rape you? Keke~ you’re so
cute! What’s your name? I’m Cheondong aka Thunder aka Sanghyun.” He put his hand
out, offering a handshake.

Hesitantly, I took his hand and shook it. “You-You are not-t-t going t-to rape me
ri-right?” He chuckled before nodding his head.

He patted his chest and said “Scout’s honor.”

Somehow, I felt more at ease with him. I smiled and introduced myself.
“Annyeonghasayo, Park Hyunmi imida.”

“Ah, so your name is Hyunmi? What a pretty name. Do you want to sit on my bed? The
floor isn’t that comfortable. Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to you.” He smiled
and offered his hand once again, this time to help me up.
I accept his hand readily and we sat on the bed.

“So, why are you in our dorm and why did you run into my room?” Cheondong asked.

I bit my lip and told him the whole story of how I met the mystery guy, the Yoona
incident and what happened in the living room.

After I finished the story, he started laughing again.

“Bwoh? Mir did that? Ahahaha! That’s so funny! Ahahaha!”

I pouted and looked at him. “Is it really that funny? Wasn’t him going to rape me?”

He lightly knocked my head and said “You pabo. Knowing that guy, he was probably
wondering if he should cover your mouth or not.”

“Oh. So, you guys aren’t rapists? That’s good.” Cheondong smiled. “By the way, who
is the mystery guy and the guy I bumped into just now? And, who are you guys?”

He smiled again. “Mystery guy is Seungho hyung. The guy you bumped into is Joon
Hyung. And us?”

“We are MBLAQ.”

14.Say hello to MBLAQ~

Chapter 14

[No one’s POV]

“MBLAQ?! You guys are MBLAQ? THE MBLAQ? OF THE RAIN?” Hyunmi gulped hard as
Cheondong told her who they were.

He laughed, seeing her flustered reaction.

“Well, we aren’t exactly THE MBLAQ of THE Rain. But, we are MBLAQ that was trained
by Rain.” Cheondong teased, emphasizing on the word ‘THE’ like how Hyunmi did.

“So, that Mir guy wasn’t a rapist? And, the Seungho guy brought me here not to
rape me?” Hyunmi asked, wanting to confirm what Cheondong had said.

“You know, I’m kinda sad that you didn’t even recognize us. And, yes, no one is
going to rape you so relax.” Cheondong sighed, upset that Hyunmi didn’t trust them
and most importantly, recognize them.

“Aniya! Cheondong-shi. I didn’t have time to find out about other groups yet! I
just came here not long ago, remember? Please don’t be mad! I hate seeing people
being angry at me.”
Hyunmi quickly reassured the older guy, afraid that he wouldn’t want to talk to her
anymore. After all, he had been the first guy that was so kind to her. Well, other
than Seungho that is.

Cheondong smiled at Hyunmi’s child-like character. ‘I think we are going to great

friends’

While with the other MBLAQ members~

“That was weird?” Lee Joon, the ever clueless guy, scratched his head as he looked
at Seungho.

“Hyung, who is she?” G.O broke the ice by asking the question everyone wanted to
know.

“She’s Hyunmi. I found her in the playground area.” Seungho answered.

“So, she’s not a crazy stalker?” Mir said, doubting his hyung’s words.

“Yah! Bang Chul Yong! Whatever gave you that idea! She doesn’t even know who we
are.” Seungho knocked Mir’s head.

“Bwoh?! She doesn’t know MBLAQ?!” Joon screamed.

“Yes. She just came from New York, a few days back.” Seungho explained.

“So, hyung, why did you bring her here?” G.O questioned his hyung. Seungho had
never been the one to be so kind to girls. This was actually the first time he saw
his hyung caring so much for a girl.

“She’s staying with us for three days.”

“BWOH?!”

At that very moment, Hyunmi came out with Thunder, both looking bewildered as the
rest of the MBLAQ screamed “Bwoh?!”

“Yes, she’s staying for three days.” Seungho replied wearily. He was tired of
answering so many questions in a day and he hadn’t even rest for five minutes
today.

“What? Why?”

“I am?”

“How come?”

“But, I don’t even know her”

“Shut up and let hyung explain.”

That last sentence had come from Thunder, who knew the whole story and was clever
enough to guess his hyung’s intention. Seungho knew that Hyunmi couldn’t face Yoona
and intended to let her stay for three days. But, what the younger boy couldn’t get
was why his hyung was so kind to the girl he had barely known for an hour.

‘Thank god for Sanghyun.’ Seungho thought as he looked at his members.

“Hyunmi will be staying here for three days because of some personal matters. It’s
up to her if she wants to tell you. You guys better stop scaring her okay.” Seungho
said.

It took awhile for the words to sink in as Thunder and Seungho watched the guys and
Hyunmi’s faces change from surprise to happiness.

Suddenly, Mir grabbed Hyunmi and hugged her tightly as if she would disappear any
moment.

“Yay! You’re not a stalker! You’re going to live with us and I’m not the maknae
anymore! Woots!” Mir started cheering.

G.O, Joon and Thunder soon joined in the hug and pulled Seungho in with Joon
shouting.

“Yay! Group hug!”

Seungho sighed and smiled, wondering when his members were going to grow up and be
more mature.

15.Eventful Morning at MBLAQ's dorm

Chapter 15

[Hyunmi’s POV]

I woke up to the sunlight shining on my face. Looking around, I saw Cheondong

sleeping on the floor and Mir on the bed beside mine. I smiled as I snuggled under
the blanket for a little while.

MBLAQ had lent me Mir’s clothes for the night. They said we were going shopping for
my clothes today.

After the whole matter, Seungho had finally treated my hand with the whole MBLAQ
staring at us. Mir had asked tons of questions on why I was here and why my hand is
hurt, only to have Seungho snapping at him to shut up.

Cheondong had come up with the idea of telling my brothers that I had gone to Jeju
Island with my girlfriends for three days. I sent a text to Alexander Oppa, whom I
believed is the most naïve one. I don’t think he would link to the thought that I
had no girlfriends here in Korea since I had been barely here for a week. And,
bingo! I was right; he had replied me with a message that said

‘Have fun, my mimi! Don’t forget to think about Oppa! I’ll miss you~’
I just hoped he wouldn’t get mad at me if he found out that I had lied. After that
matter, of course without the other members knowing, we had some trouble with where
I would be sleeping.

Seungho had wanted me to have his bed but, I rejected. He was rooming with Joon and
G.O and I wasn’t exactly comfortable sleeping with Joon and G.O since I didn’t know
them that well. So, Cheondong had volunteered to give me his bed while he slept on
the floor.

I agreed immediately. I was more comfortable with Cheondong than Seungho actually.
Besides, though Mir had attacked me at the start, I found out he was the closest to
my age. So, it was sleeping with Cheondong and Mir.

“What are you thinking about?”

I turned and saw Cheondong’s face just in front of mine.

“Omo!” I gasped at the closeness of our face.

He chuckled and pinched my nose.

“You’re so cute!”

“Cheondong -shi! Don’t scare me like this!” I chided him lightly.

He pouted and wrinkled his nose.

“What’s with the ‘shi’? Aren’t we good friends now? Hyunminnie! Call me Oppa!”

I stared at him in amazement. Good friends? Wow. He sure is friendly. And, another
nickname?

“Yes, Cheondongie Oppa.” I said with aegyo.

“Good doggie” Cheongdong Oppa did a mehrong.

And, that mark the start of our pillow fight.

“What did you call me? A dog?! You’re dead! Thunder!” I half shouted at him in
English.

I threw a pillow at him and he climb onto my bed with his pillow and attacked me
with it. I threw a soft toy this time, hoping it would hit him but, I didn’t have
such luck.

The soft toy flew over Cheondong Oppa and flew to…

Mir.

Who was sleeping soundly.

“Pah!” The soft toy hit Mir’s head.

He started to stir slowly, rubbing his head. I exchanged glances with Cheondong
Oppa who hurriedly pulled me onto the bed and cover the blanket over us.

“Mir isn’t a morning person! Hurry and pretend you’re asleep!” He whispered
furiously.
I quickly turned away from Mir’s direction, only to be faced with Cheondong Oppa’s
fake sleeping face. I could feel my cheeks reddening as I realized how close we
were. Not wanting to think about it, I hurriedly close my eyes.

“Bouya?!”

I stiffened a little as I heard Mir’s voice.

“Relax.”

Cheondong Oppa’s comforting voice came and I actually relaxed a little. I could
hear Mir slipping off his bed and coming closer to ours. With every step he made, I
couldn’t help but get scared. What if he gets really mad with me and Cheondong
Oppa? Ottoke?

Just then, I felt Cheondong Oppa’s hands slip over to my waist and he pulled me
closer to him. I flinched and tried pulling away. But, he wouldn’t let go. What do
I do?

“Stay still.” He commanded.

“Hyung? Hyunmi?” Mir called out. “Bwoh?! Omo! Why is hyung sleeping next to Hyunmi?
And, hugging her?!”

Oh shoot. Does Mir know it’s us?

“Morning guys! Time to wake up! Omona! What’s this?” The door opened and Joon’s
voice travelled in.

I quickly sat up upon hearing Joon’s voice. I saw Joon standing in front of us with
a shocked expression and Mir with a confused expression. Upon seeing me sit up,
Cheondong Oppa slowly sat up too. I looked at him, flustered now.

“Erm… It isn’t what it-“ My words got interrupted by Cheondong’s voice.

“Hi hyung! What’s for breakfast?” He chirped.

We all stared at him in disbelief. How could he act like nothing happened after
being seen by Mir and Joon? He looked so calm and cheerful as if I and he sleeping
on the same bed is the norm. I turned and slapped his arm lightly.

“Oppa! Bouya?” I asked.

“What? I just asked what’s for breakfast, what’s wrong?” He replied as if he did
nothing wrong.

I gave up, exasperated. Cheondong Oppa isn’t going to help. I have to explain for
us. That’s right.

“It really isn’t what it looks like! Joon-shi, Mir-shi, please don’t mis-“

My words once again got interrupted, this time by Seungho.

He came into the room, scolding Joon.

“Joon, why are you taking so long?”

He stopped short when he saw the position that I and Cheondong Oppa were in. It was
then when he noticed the awkward atmosphere the room was in. His facial expression
changed from a baffled look, to a disbelief look and lastly, a furious one.

“Park. Sang. Hyun. Why are you on the same bed as Hyunmi?” Seungho barked.

“Morning hyung! Wah! I’m so hungry. I’m going to see what G.O hyung cooked for
breakfast.” Cheondong Oppa said as lively as he could. But, you could detect traces
of nervousness and fear in his voice.

Cheondong Oppa jumped out of bed and tried going out of the door. But,
unfortunately, Seungho wouldn’t have any of it. He pulled the younger boy’s ear and
pulled him out of the room into the living room.

“The rest of you! Out NOW!” Seungho yelled as he pulled a whimpering Cheondong Oppa
out of the room.

As I went out, Mir gave me an unreadable look while Joon looked a little pissed? I
sent them both an apologetic look as I went to the living room.

When I reached the living room, I saw G.O already there with a questionable look on
his face.

“What happened? Hyung! Why are you grabbing Cheondong by his ear?” G.O asked,
alarmed, seeing his leader treating the second maknae like this.

“I found this little brat on the same bed with Hyunmi this morning.” Seungho
explained with a fierce look on his face.

“But, hyung! He could have just went up when they both woke up.” G.O tried talking
some sense into the furious leader.

“Ani! Hyung! I found them lying on the bed together! Cheondong was even hugging
Hyunmi by the waist.” Joon and Mir chorused.

I mentally face palmed myself. Now, the whole matter has become worse, thanks to
the two dense members of MBLAQ. I glanced at Cheondong Oppa whose face was a
mixture of pain and fear. I then looked at Seungho who looked like there was steam
coming out from his ears. What should I do? I guess the only way to get out of this
mess was to come clean.

I sent an apologetic look to Cheondong Oppa and took in a deep breath.

“Seungho-shi, please let Cheondong Oppa go. I’ll explain everything.” I said
seriously.

Seungho let Cheondong Oppa go with a wary glance at him. Then, I explained
everything to them. From the start of our pillow fight to the part where Seungho
came in.

After I was done, I peeked at Mir who somehow looked calm and even looked like he
was going to laugh any moment.

“Mianhe Mir-shi.” I apologized. “It was accident! Mian!”

Cheondong Oppa looked a little miffed that I poured everything out, but, hey that
was the only way to help us out of this mess!

“So, hyung, we didn’t do anything wrong. Can we eat breakfast now?” Cheondong Oppa
asked daringly.
Seungho nodded and said “Go wash up first. And, Sanghyun. You have to keep three
feet away from Hyunmi. I don’t like your skinship. And, Hyunmi, call us Oppas.”

Cheondong Oppa stared at him in disbelief.

“Three feet?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME HYUNG!” He shouted in protest.

The rest of the MBLAQ members cracked up.

“Your fault for hugging her, hyung.” Mir Oppa stated.

“Aish!” Cheondong Oppa stormed off into the bathroom.

Seungho, G.O and Joon proceeded to the kitchen, leaving only me and Mir in the
living room.

“Mir-sh I mean, Oppa. You forgive me right?” I asked meekly.

“Of course! You’re so cute!” He pinched my cheeks and exclaimed.

“Kids! Go wash up now!” Seungho shouted from the kitchen.

I looked at Mir and we started running to the bathroom.

16.I'm going to miss him...

Chapter 16

[Hyunmi’s POV]

I took a last look at the MBLAQ dorm and closed the doors. The past two days had
really been fun. But, it’s time.

It’s time to go back and face reality.

The MBLAQ Oppas had specially asked for a three day break from their manager. But,
they had only gotten a two day break. They had gone for their schedules at six in
the morning and wouldn’t be back till 10 at night. They had told me to wait for
them and they were going to send me home. I had agreed but, I already had another
plan in mind.

I had left the Oppas a letter and I’m going back home by myself. I didn’t want to
go back with them. They were planning to send me straight to the door and were
going to confront the Oppas about what had happened.

Yes, I told them what happened. I told all the Oppas.

But, I didn’t want them standing up for me so I rather go back on my home. Another
reason was that I didn’t want my real Oppas to find out that I had lied to them. I
just wanted to pretend everything never happened.

Hopefully, I wouldn’t see Yoona again.

Memories flashed by me as I started to travel home.

We had spent the past two days playing around and fooling around. We had gone
shopping for my clothes; of course with them in disguise.

I smiled as I remembered them in the shop. They had basically taken everything in
the shop for me to try. But, what was the most ridiculous was how they ‘bullied’
Joon Oppa.

The Oppas had been looking around in the shop for my clothes. I was wearing Mir
Oppa’s clothes. A hoodie and jeans. They searched around with the exception of Joon
Oppa. Whenever they found something they think is nice, they would throw the
clothes over to Joon Oppa and soon, Joon Oppa was covered with clothes. Like a
clothe rack. He got angry of course. But, there was no stopping the other Oppas,
they just continued ‘hurling’ the clothes at Joon Oppa.He had yelled at me to help
him. But, I wouldn’t. It was such a joke to see him throwing a fit while the other
Oppas just continue hurling clothes at him.

I’m going to miss him, Lee Changsun Oppa.

The blur but hot Oppa.

We had gone for ice cream. All saying that we would pay for our own ice creams. I
ordered a triple scoop chocolate icecream. G.O Oppa got a banana split. While, the
rest of the MBLAQ Oppas ordered GIANT Earthquake, TWO Banana splits and TWO Mocha
Ice cream. While they were eating, I saw them exchanging glances with each other
every now and then. But, G.O Oppa was enjoying his banana split too much to even
notice a thing. Cheondong Oppa had motioned for me to eat the ice cream quickly and
I had compiled. The other Oppas were gobbling up their ice creams quickly too, with
the exception of G.O Oppa, of course.

After we had all finished our ice cream, Seungho Oppa looked at the other Oppas and
whispered ‘one, two, THREE!’ G.O Oppa and I had looked at them, bewildered. At the
count of three, they stood up, with Mir Oppa grabbing my hand, and we ran out of
the door together. It wasn’t until Seungho Oppa shouted “THANKS BYUNGHEE FOR THE
TREAT!” that I understand what they were talking about. We ran for awhile before
stopping while holding on to each other, laughing so much that our tummies hurt.

After awhile, G.O Oppa appeared, panting heavily, which threw us into another round
of laughter. When he finally cooled down, he started scolding all of us. And, he
headlock the MBLAQ Oppas. But, I could see beneath the angry façade, he was
actually very happy because we were all happy. He didn’t mind.

I’m going to miss him, Jung Byunghee Oppa.

The motherly Oppa who gave me the mother love I never had.

After all the fun that day, we had rented a few movies and went back to the dorm
for a movie marathon. Everyone was excited and in less than an hour, we were all
sitting in front of the movie, watching the show. I had been sitting beside
Cheondong Oppa, with the rest of the Oppa surrounding us. We were watching a horror
movie and whenever, I got scared, Cheondong Oppa would hug me tightly and bury my
head in his chest.

After two movies, I fell asleep and I felt him putting my head on his shoulder.
That was one of the times where I fell asleep but is still half-conscious. I felt
Cheondong Oppa kissing my forehead and telling me “Goodnight, Minnie. Sweet
dreams.”

I’m going to miss him, Park Sanghyun Oppa.

My very first friend in MBLAQ, and the Oppa who is closest to me.

The next day, we went to Lotte World. Again, the Oppas were in disguise. The very
moment, we arrived at the gates of Lotte World. Mir Oppa started getting hyper and
held my hands tightly. He wouldn’t let go of it throughout the whole time in Lotte
World. He was like a little kid on sugar rush; being so excited and all. He would
drag me to rides and kept talking to me. Mir Oppa was like a force of energy that
couldn’t be stop. No matter how much the other Oppas tried to get him to calm down,
he couldn’t be calm. He just kept dragging us to the rides and getting more hyper
if that’s even possible.

I’m going to miss him, Bang Chul Yong Oppa.

The Oppa who pounced on me thinking I was a mad stalker on the very day I arrived.

After going to the Lotte World, we went to the Han River. It was amazing that the
Oppas didn’t get found out at all. We sat on the patch of grass while staring at
the amazing night scenery of the Han River. Seungho Oppa pulled me to sit beside
him and he gently put my head on his shoulder.

“Hyunmi ah, I’m so glad I found you that day.” He had told me while smiling. I
glanced at him and smile back. “Me too. I’m glad to have know you guys.”

The time spent at Han River flew by and soon, we were on the bus back home. When,
we alighted at the bus stop. The Oppas decided to have a race, the last one back
was going to do the laundry. We all started running, but, being the girl, I was
lagging behind them. Just when I was going to give up, Seungho Oppa came running
back to me and squat down in front of me. He motioned for me to get on his back and
I did.

He then piggybacked me back to the dorm. The race was all but forgotten. We chatted
a lot and I had fell asleep on his back. I remembered him gently putting me to bed
and kissing my forehead.

His back must have hurt a lot today.

I’m going to miss him, Yang Seungho Oppa.

The Oppa who found me and have been extremely kind to me, even when he didn’t know
anything about me.

Thinking about all these thoughts, I had arrived back at home. It had been so much
fun with the MBLAQ Oppas. Sometimes, I find myself wishing that one of them had
been my brother instead, so I could live with them. But, too bad, the house right
in front of me is where I’m going to be at.

The time now is 9.30am. I took a deep breath and pushed open the door.
Time to face reality.

17.Bad feeling

Chapter 17

[No one’s POV]

Dear MBLAQ Oppas,

By the time you read this letter, I would have already been back at… home. I’m
sorry that I didn’t wait for you guys but, I really didn’t want you guys to have
confront them. I just want to pretend this never happened. Don’t come for looking
for me arraso?

Thank you for all the loving care you guys have given me. I wished I could stay
with you but, it’s impossible. Thank you for taking me in when I’ve nowhere to go.
There’s a big list of ‘Thank You’ that I would say, but then you guys would be mad
at me for being so polite. Keke~

So, this is goodbye? I guess so. I’ll miss you guys a lot. I’ll try to visit! Bye
Oppas. I love you! <3

Love, Hyunminnie <3

Upon reading the letter, he ignored the calls of his members and put on his shoes.
He ran out of the dorm without looking back. He started running to her house. She
had told him where it was at. Soon, his members caught up with him and began
throwing tons of questions at him. But, he could care less about those questions.

He had a bad feeling about her going back without them.

And, yes. He was right about it.

18.A Glass of Water

Chapter 18

[Hyunmi’s POV]

I sat down the last dish and look at the dining table, satisfied with my cooking
skills. I had spent the last few hours cooking dinner for the Oppas. Before that, I
cleaned the house thoroughly and did laundry. Boy, gone for only three days results
in a HUGE pile of clothes unwashed. I shake my head at the unpleasant memory of
washing their dirty clothes.

“We’re back!”

The door opened and the voices of the Oppas travelled in. I took off my apron and
started walking to the living room; only to have Yoona overtaking me. The shock of
seeing her froze me momentarily as the horrible thoughts of her came into my mind.

She had been her all along?! Throughout the hours of doing all the housework, I
never once saw her. I had assumed that she had gone back to her dorm and wasn’t
coming here anytime soon. But, she had been here this whole time?!

It wasn’t until someone called my name that I woke up from my trance. I turned my
head and saw the grinning face of Wooyoung Oppa.

“Hyunmi! You’re back!”

He came over, wanting to hug me. I smiled and was about to hug him, when I saw
Yoona looking glaring at me out of the corner of my eyes. Immediately, I back away
and just waved at him.

“Hi Oppa”

Wooyoung Oppa stared at me in confusion but let it passed as the other Oppas
started greeting me too. I breathe a sigh of relief and smile, greeting the rest of
the Oppas as they said Hello to me. My smile faded when Yoona started asking the
Oppas to go to the dining room for dinner, interrupting my happy moment with them.

I wasn’t ecstatic about that but I didn’t show it. Instead, being the person I am,
I also started to get the Oppas to go and have dinner.

Things got worse when we sat down; I was sitting right across her. It made me
wonder how I was going to get through dinner while watching her face. I guess I’ll
have to just bear with it. I mentally cursed in my head as I started digging in.

[No one’s POV]

“Wow. Yoong, you cooked this? It’s delicious!” Heechul commented.

Yoona just smiled at her sunbae, neither admitting nor denying; she replied

“Eat more Chullie Oppa”

Her reaction made Hyunmi’s blood boil.

‘How dare she say that! I cooked that whole table of food all by myself! Argh! That
girl!’

With Heechul’s comment, the rest of the guys started praising the younger girl for
her amazing cooking skills too. Yoona just smiled and asked the rest to eat up,
without even mentioning that the meal had been prepared by Hyunmi.
It was part of her plan. Yoona’s plan to make sure Hyunmi is invincible to the
guys. It wasn’t that Yoona was a mean girl to begin with. She was definitely not.
But, the very moment Hyunmi had opened that door, holding hands with Kyuhyun. Yoona
had hated that girl. It wasn’t because Yoona had liked Kyuhyun, but, it was because
of the hurt reflected in the little maknae’s eyes that had gone oblivious to
everyone but Yoona.

Hyoyeon was the closest to Seohyun but, she had been too occupied with ‘hogging
onto Hyunmi’ that she didn’t notice that the maknae had been hurt by the little
gesture of Hyunmi. But, Yoona saw everything. The bright, anticipating eyes of the
maknae, turning into confusion, hurt and pain within seconds.

That very moment, marked the start of the hatred towards Hyunmi.

Perhaps it was because she had her monthly gift that day, which was like adding oil
to fuel, turning her anger to a higher volume that she had screamed all those
horrible stuff to Hyunmi. Yoona had those thoughts, but, she never thought she
would have shouted at the younger girl like that.

But, you couldn’t deny the fact that Yoona hated Hyunmi.

The hatred grew quickly. Of course, Seohyun getting hurt played a big part, because
the main reason that Yoona didn’t want the maknae to be hurt at all was that Cho
Kyuhyun was the first guy that Seohyun had ever learned to like. Another factor
that added the oil was the reactions of the other girls.

After seeing Seohyun’s hurt expression, Yoona started noticing the same looks from
the other girls. She couldn’t help but feel worse after seeing the rest of the
girls getting hurt too, which was why she wanted to stop Hyunmi from being so close
to the Sunbaes.

But, Yoona didn’t stop to think for even the slightest moment of the younger girl’s
feelings. All she had cared about was the feelings of the hurt girls. She never
once noticed the fear and pain in Hyunmi’s eyes when they had eye contact. Yoona
just wanted the best for the rest of the girls and she did it in a way she thought
was the best.

But, boy, was she wrong.

The methods she used were far from best. In fact, they are about to caused some big
trouble.

Yoona’s plan did work. None of Hyunmi’s real brothers were there and the idols
there were more of the tougher and oblivious ones. And, so, no one really noticed
about Hyunmi. But, Hyunmi noticed that there was something wrong.

She knew that Yoona was planning something and she didn’t stop it, but, instead
just listened to their conversations. But, one thing was puzzling her. Heechul, who
was sitting beside Yoona, hadn’t spoken a single word to Hyunmi ever since he
arrived home. He didn’t even acknowledge her existence of coming back home.

But, all such thoughts were pushed aside when she heard a part of the conversation.

“Yoona, you cleaned the house, didn’t you? It’s so clean!” Junsu commented.

“It’s nice that it’s clean. Oh, and by the way, Oppas, your dirty clothes are in
the laundry, they should be dry by tomorrow.” Yoona said cheerfully.
“Wahh, Thank you Yoong! What would we have done without you?” The guys exclaimed.

That did it.

She took the glass of water in front of her, that was meant for drinking and threw
it across the table. Like a slow motion movie, the water flew and hit Yoona right
in the face. The latter gasped as the cold water made contact with her pale,
flawless skin. Everyone froze except the former who threw the glass of water.

She hurriedly ran up the stairs and went to the balcony of her room, locking the
door. She leaned back against the cold hard door, and slid down as the cold breeze
of the night of Seoul attacked her.

Five seconds later, she heard a blood curling scream coming straight from the
throat of the AB Blood of Kim Heechul.

“PARK HYUNMI!!!”

19.-SLAP!-

Chapter 19

[Nobody's POV]

"PARK HYUNMI!!!"

Heechul's earsplitting scream woke up everyone who was still in shock of what had
just happened. Immediately, Heechul got off of his chair and rushed towards
Hyunmi's bedroom with the rest of the idols following closely behind. Yoona had
went to the bathroom to clean up her face but, went up soon after.

"YAH! YOU UNGRATEFUL BRAT!! OPEN UP THE DAMN DOOR!"

Heechul started shouting at the tinted glass door of the balcony, wanting Hyunmi to
open the door.

With just a door in between them, the difference in the atmosphere of both areas
was world apart. With Heechul, Yoona and the rest of the idols, everyone was fuming
for Hyunmi's unexplainable reaction. Heechul literally had steam coming out of his
ears; Yoona was standing beside her angry sunbae with an unreadable expression on
her face. While, on the other side of the door, Hyunmi got colder by the moment;
both physically and mentally. The cold night breeze of Seoul attacked Hyunmi like a
merciless monster; and her heart got heavier and colder as she heard what Heechul
had said.
Even though the night air was colder and had Hyunmi’s teeth chattering like crazy,
she made no move to open the door that separated them. Hyunmi’s back faced the
door; she didn’t want to see anyone of them. Unlike Heechul, Hyunmi could actually
see them if she turned and face the door. The balcony had two doors, both doors
were tinted on the outside, but the inside was clear and you could see what’s going
on on the other side. Hyunmi had closed only the first door, the one that was
closer to the bedroom, thus, blocking their view of her.

Seeing that there was no movement from Hyunmi, Heechul couldn’t bear the younger
girl’s insolence anymore and started shouting at the tinted glass door, fully aware
that she could hear him.

“PARK HYUNMI! WHAT KIND OF ATTITUDE ARE YOU GIVING US?! WHAT GAVE YOU THE RIGHT TO
THROW THAT GLASS OF WATER AT YOONA?! SHE’S OLDER THAN YOU AND SHE DID NOTHING
WRONG! UNLIKE YOU UNGRATEFUL BRAT! I’VE BEEN BEARING YOU FOR SO LONG! I DIDN’T WANT
TO SAY A THING AT ALL BUT YOUR STUPID FUCKED UP ATTITUDE LEAVES ME NO CHOICE!”

Caught up in his moment of anger and unfairness, Heechul didn’t pause to think any
of the consequences that might happen.

At the other side of the glass separating them, Hyunmi’s warm tears slide down her
cold cheek. Every single word the older guy had yelled out, pierced Hyunmi’s heart
even more than what Yoona had previously said. One by one, Hyunmi’s fingers slowly
curled up into a fist. Her fingernails dug into her pale, snow white skin; but, the
pain was nothing compared to what she was feeling right now.

As, she held out to her clenched fist, Hyunmi wanted to scream back Heechul so
much. But, unlike the man, she knew the undesirable consequences that would happen
if she did retaliate. She didn’t want that to happen. So, she bit her lip, trying
to keep the sobs from escaping and hug herself even tighter, to escape the cold
wind and Heechul’s cold, heart-piercing words.

Unknown to Hyunmi’s heartbreak, Heechul continued to scream at her; wanting give

her a piece of his mind; to tell her how he felt during the whole three days she
had been gone.

“DO YOU KNOW HOW YOUR BROTHERS FELT WHEN XANDER TOLD THEM YOU WENT TO JEJU ISLAND?
XANDER DIDN’T THINK BUT YOU KNOW THE OTHERS THOUGHT ABOUT IT AND FOUND THAT YOU
LIED?! DO YOU KNOW HOW WORRIED THEY WERE?! YOU OFF YOUR FUCKING PHONE AND NOBODY
CAN FIND YOU AT ALL! TEUKIE HYUNG WENT THROUGH SO MUCH STRESS BECAUSE OF THIS! YOU
KNOW HOW GUILTY HE FELT FOR NOT TAKING CARE OF YOU! AND YOU JUST FUCKING COME HOME
WITHOUT ANY FUCKING EXPLANATION AND THROW A GLASS OF WATER IN YOONA’S FACE?! WHO
TAUGHT YOU ALL THIS SHIT?! PARK HYUNMI! YOU BRAT! DID NOBODY TEACH YOU ANY MANNERS?
DO YOU WANT ME TO TEACH YOU SOME FUCKING MANNERS?! YAH!-“

‘I’m so sorry everyone; I just can’t stand his words anymore. Forgive me, I’m going
to stand up for myself, he crossed the line.’

Hyunmi wiped away her tears and unlocked the door. She glared at Heechul, stopping
him mid-sentence.

-SLAP!-

A fresh red handprint appeared on _____’s face.

20.Uh oh. Heechul, you crossed the line.

Chapter 20

[No one’s POV]

-SLAP!-

A fresh red handprint appeared on Hyunmi’s face.

Everyone gaped at Heechul who was still glaring intently at Hyunmi, unfazed by his
previous action. Hyunmi slowly turn her head and her hand went to her now hot
cheek.

Like a tape on slow motion, Hyunmi slowly but surely focused her gaze on Heechul.

Their eyes met.

However, unlike Heechul, Hyunmi’s eyes were not full of rage; instead, they were
full of hurt, betrayal, pain and horror.

Hurt that she got hit by someone who didn’t understand a thing.

Betrayed that Heechul stood with Yoona without hearing her side of the story.

Pained that she had to go through all of this alone.

Horrified that Heechul had actually hit her.

Hyunmi’s eyes started to water. She didn’t care anymore. Slowly, she let her tears
trail down her cheeks, not even bothering to wipe them away. She sucked in a deep
breath and took a step forward, moving closer to Heechul.

Heechul had softened a little when he saw Hyunmi’s tears, but he didn’t let down.
He couldn’t. His pride didn’t allow him and most importantly, he couldn’t forget
how much his leader had suffered.

Leeteuk had put all the blame of his younger sister going missing on himself. He
blamed himself for not being able to take care of Hyunmi. The older man had lost
sleep over this and barely ate a thing. Having schedules, he had gone to them
feeling upset and horrible. He couldn’t concentrate at all and the manager had
scolded him thousands of times.

Heechul had seen all of this and he couldn’t forget the look in Leeteuk’s eyes.

The sad, guilty and half-craze look.

Remembering all of this, Heechul glared once again at Hyunmi and stepped closer,
closing the distance between them. He was about to open his mouth to talk scream
some sense into Hyunmi, when he felt a hand on his shoulder.

Heechul turned and saw Junsu looking at him with a firm expression.

“Hyung. Stop it. You don’t know her side of her story yet. Just stop it.” Junsu
said with a strong sense of justice in his words.

Junsu wasn’t someone who would do this but, he couldn’t stand the way Heechul was
treating Hyunmi. Not even giving the younger girl a chance to explain her side of
the story.

“Junsu, stay out of this.” Heechul warned.

Exasperated, Junsu had no choice but to step back and let his hyung take care of
this matter.

‘I’m so sorry, Hyunmi.’

“You never knew anything at all. You never asked. I asked myself why you didn’t do
all those things. I finally got the answer.

Because you don’t care about me at all. You just think what you know is
EVERYTHING.”

Every single word, single syllable Hyunmi said, hit Heechul as if there was
thousands of knifes attacking his heart all at once. Hyunmi’s words dripped with
blood that came from the scars caused by Yoona and Heechul. Her tears were just
representatives of the scars pierced by the arrows of Heechul and Yoona’s cold
words.

Hyunmi’s tears dropped continuously, not stopping for barely a moment. In her eyes,
there weren’t anger and rage; they were replaced by pain and sadness.

Heechul stared into her eyes and found out how wrong he had been. He finally
realized how much damage he had done to the young girl, but all was too late. He
felt guilty. He wanted to say sorry, and hold her in his arms.

But, it was far too late.

In her eyes, Heechul saw the agony, the despair and the wounds.

The wounds he had caused.

“I’m not someone who just does things for no reason. I threw water at her for a
reason. Why don’t you ask her what she had done? DO YOU KNOW THE PAIN AND THE
TORTURE I WENT THROUGH BECAUSE OF HER?! DO YOU KNOW I SAT DOWN AT A PLAYGROUND
THREE DAYS AGO CRYING ALL ALONE?! YOU ONLY THOUGHT I AM IRRESPONSIBLE FOR MY OPPAS?

THEN WHERE WERE YOU GUYS WHEN I NEEDED YOU THE MOST.”
Hyunmi’s last sentence wasn’t a question but a statement of how hurt she was.

All the mixed emotions she had been containing came tumbling out like a volcano
erupting.

The emptiness when none of her brothers came running after her.

The despaired feeling when she realized there was nowhere she could go to.

The pain that sliced her countless of times when Yoona had said all those words.

The horrible feeling of seeing Yoona once again.

The betrayed feeling when Heechul accused her.

Everything.

Unable to stop them, Hyunmi turned to Yoona and said through her tears, a sentence
that struck Yoona hard.

“Calling the Oppas nicknames was because of a dare, I didn’t ask for it.”

Caught off guard, Yoona couldn’t say anything back to Hyunmi. She just stared at
the younger girl as she yet, told her five words that hit Yoona like a tornado on
full force.

“I am not a slut.”

Hyunmi didn’t know where she got all the self confidence from, the words just came
off the tip of her tongue. Once she was done with her words to Yoona, she turned
her attention back to Heechul. Heechul opened his mouth to say something, but
Hyunmi was quicker than him.

“Heechul-shi, I’m really tired. I’m tired of being accused for things that I never
did. I’m tired of hearing all your accusations. I’m tired of being call a slut, a
whore and a fuck up kid who doesn’t think. If I made the Oppas worried, I’m sorry.
I didn’t want to lie. Never did. But, I had no choice. You know what? Right now, I
wished I was back at New York, back at where I once thought was hell. Because
compared to seeing my mother sleeping with another men, this is the real hell.

I wished I never came at all.”

With that once last sentence that struck Heechul with full force, Hyunmi made her
way through the crowd and dashed out of the door. At the door, she knocked into
Seungho… and the rest of MBLAQ.

“Hyunmi…” Seungho soft voice filled with concern and sincerity, set stirred another
round of emotions in Hyunmi.

“I’m sorry. I need to be alone.” The tone of Hyunmi’s words had Seungho stunned.

It wasn’t just the pain, the tiredness or the sadness that had him rooted to the
ground after putting his feet to nonstop for the past 30 minutes. It was the need
to be alone that him letting the girl he… love, run past him and out into the cold,
chilly night of Seoul.
21.Volcano eruptions are never pretty.

Chapter 21

[Hyunmi’s POV]

I’m sorry Seungho Oppa. I really need to be alone right now. I’m confused and mixed
up. I’m really sorry to everyone.

Why is it that I can’t seem to do anything right at all? Why can’t I be a normal
person and stop all this nonsensical shit?

I made my Oppas worry. Angered Heechul Oppa. Splashed Yoona with water. Made Junsu
Oppa upset with Heechul.

I’m such a failure.

Appa, I want you with me right now.

Three days ago, I was alone. But, MBLAQ found me and gave me the help that I
needed. Three days later, I’m alone again. This time, I pushed away the comfort.

I stop running and found myself back at the same playground where Seungho Oppa had
found me.

But, this time, he won’t be able to save me again.

Funny how some things are the same yet different.

Three days ago, I never would have thought someone would be there to save me. But,
someone did save me.

Three days later, I know there wasn’t someone to save me anymore.

Park Hyunmi, you really are pathetic.

I laughed through my tears. I laughed at how pathetic I am right now.

I’m just a stupid idiot who doesn’t deserve anything.

The laughter came out all wrong and I started crying even more. And, I thought I
was pitiful three days back. I’m really pathetic now.

Because, it finally started raining.

I sat at the bench, numb from my ranting.

Everything finally came out, but why don’t I feel any better?

[Author’s POV]

Because Hyunmi, the volcano erupted. The lava is still spilling. Volcano eruptions
are never pretty. Because in the end, you’re just hurting yourself.

22.Outbursts after Outbursts

Chapter 22

[Seungho’s POV]

“I’m sorry. I need to be alone.”

Her shoulders pushed past mine as my heart dropped to the ground.

I was right.

Something bad had happened and I hadn’t been there to protect her from it. For once
in my life, I wished my gut feeling had been wrong; so that she wouldn’t have to
suffer.

I heard the members calling after her. As much as I wanted to be like them, or even
go after her myself, I knew it was impossible. The need of being alone, the tone in
her voice, and the look in her eyes are the things that are stopping me from
getting her back.

“Stop calling her. Let her be alone.” Those words came out from my mouth, harsh and
firm.

“But! Hyung!” I heard Mir protested as I went up the stairs.

I ignored him but that wasn’t the only thing that I shut out as I proceeded to find
the source of Hyunmi’s heartbreak. I boxed up all my unhappy emotions as my foot
landed on each step. With the final box sealed up neatly, I reached the top of
stairs, a few metres away from all the commotion.

It’s time to set things right.

[No one’s POV]

As MBLAQ arrived in front of Hyunmi’s bedroom, they saw a heated argument between
Junsu and Heechul. Harsh words were flying across, meaning to get some sense into
the opposite party.

Junsu, of course, was standing up for Hyunmi, trying to get Heechul to admit his
mistakes. But, being the stubborn and prideful man he was, Heechul wasn’t going to
give in to Junsu’s wishes that easily. The older man knew he was in the wrong, but,
he had no wish to admit it right now. There was no way that Heechul was going to
let Junsu get his way.

“Stop it!”

Junsu and Heechul halted their quarrel and turned, only to see Seungho’s determined
face. Heechul’s eyebrows lifted in curiosity; while Junsu stared at Seungho and the
rest of the MBLAQ members. The rest of the idols showed confused faces while
Yoona’s face turned black. She had a feeling that MBLAQ being here was not a good
thing for her.

“Seungho hyung? Why are you here?” Junhyung piped out, asking the question that had
everyone in curiosity.

“Me?” Seungho smirked. “I’m here to set things right.”

He continued; this time, his jaw getting tighter and his expressions getting darker
with each sentence.

“I don’t know what just happened but it definitely hurt Hyunmi. You might be
curious how I knew Hyunmi. Well, let me tell you, it all starts from that bitch!”
Seungho snarled, pointing his finger at Yoona.

Everyone’s eyes widened and Yoona knew the game was over. Seungho knew every single
thing she had done and he was going to tell it to the other guys.

“That little punk over there hurt Hyunmi! Why do you think Hyunmi had to lie to you
guys?! She didn’t want to see the bitch again! She had been staying with MBLAQ the
last few days. Who knows what might have happened if I find her at the playground
three days ago?! Do you know how horrible she looked? I will never forget the look
on her face when she looked up at me.”

Seungho paused, waiting for the rest of the idols to digest the fact that they had
all wronged Hyunmi and had hurt her.

“What. Exactly. Happened.” Heechul asked, emphasizing on each word.

Seungho then poured out every single thing Hyunmi had told him at the night he
found her. He watched Heechul’s expression changed from bafflement to guiltiness to
anger. Seungho also saw Yoona expression going from furious to being on the verge
of tears.

-SLAP!-

For the second time of that day, Heechul’s hand reached out and landed on another
person’s face. But, this time, it was the right slap. He had slapped Yoona.

“Oppa…” Yoona whispered. She couldn’t believe that Heechul had slapped her.

“I trust you and you actually did this to Hyunmi? How could you?!” Heechul yelled
at the younger girl.
This time however, Junsu didn’t do anything and just looked away from the scene. He
knew that Yoona was in the wrong and deserved a chance like Hyunmi to speak up.
But, somehow, he too, couldn’t forgive Yoona for her deeds.

Unable to bear all of the blame, Yoona exploded. But, unlike Hyunmi’s outpour,
Yoona shouted everything out. She wasn’t disappointed like Hyunmi, but was outraged
that everyone took Hyunmi’s side.

“YOU THINK I’M THIS KIND OF GIRL?! HEECHUL OPPA, HOW LONG HAVE YOU KNOWN ME?! I
NEVER DID THIS FOR MYSELF! YOU NEVER SAW THE LOOK ON SEOHYUN’S FACE WHEN SHE SAW
HYUNMI WITH KYUHYUN OPPA! YOU NEVER KNEW ANYTHING AT ALL! WHO ARE YOU TO CRITIZE ME
AND SLAP ME?! STOP ACTING LIKE YOU KNOW EVERYTHING!”

Yoona’s anger at Hyunmi was gone but replaced by Heechul’s ways of handling the
matter. She hated the fact that Heechul acted that he knew everything when he never
knew any side of the story at all. She knew she was in the wrong when she saw
Hyunmi’s outburst.

Yoona knew the hurt she had caused the younger girl. And, she felt bad about it.
But, right now, she was in no position to care about all of those and she didn’t
want to. Right now, she just wanted someone to take her in their arms and tell her
everything is okay.

As if God heard her, she felt someone put their arms around her waist and under her
legs. She felt herself being lifted and she hugged the neck of the person, hiding
her face into the broad chest of the person.

“Hyung. I’m truly disappointed in the way you handled this matter. I’m taking her
into my room.” With that, Suju’s Kibum brought Yoona into the room and left.

“Hyung, I’m going in too.” Junhyung said and left the corridor.

The rest of the guys went back too, with heavy hearts and disappointment in
Heechul.

Heechul couldn’t believe what he had done. The mess he had caused, singlehandedly.

MBLAQ too, left shaking their heads at Heechul’s ways. Seungho had thrown Heechul a
look and went out of the house.

When they were downstairs, Seungho started running as realization hit him. He
needed to find Hyunmi. But, before he could run far, Thunder stopped him by putting
a hand on his shoulder.

Seungho turned to shove Thunder’s hand away, but the latter stop him with one
sentence.

“What is wrong with you?!”

Thunder had enough of Seungho’s never-bothering-to-explain-anything attitude. He

was fed up with his hyung’s way of treating them. Seungho never told them any of
his plans and just made them follow him. Thunder had enough of that.

Not even giving Seungho a chance to speak, Thunder continued.

“What happened to you? Ever since you found the letter, you just ran out of the
house without any explanation. You ordered us to stop going after Hyunmi. You went
up the stairs without answering Mir’s question. And, now, you’re just going to run
out of the house without telling us what the hell you’re going to do. Really,
Hyung! What happened?!”

“Sanghyun ah..” Lee Joon’s voice trailed off.

No one expected the quiet boy to speak up to his hyung like this. Seungho too, was
shock, but quickly regained his composure.

“I love her.”

With those three words that threw his dongsaengs into yet another round of shock,
Seungho took off into the cold night of Seoul, regardless of the rain. He just
prayed that Hyunmi was safe right now. He couldn’t care about himself; all he
wanted right now, is to have the girl he love in his arms. Safe and warm.

“Yoboseyo?” A voice travelled into Hyunmi’s cold ears.

“Hello? J-Jonghyun Oppa?” Hyunmi’s trembling voice spoke into the phone that
Leeteuk had gotten her.

23.Calling Jonghyun 'Oppa'

Chapter 23

[No one’s POV]

Right now, in the cold dark night of Seoul, the rain was pouring endlessly from the
black sky. The droplets of the rain hit the cement floor again and again.
Occasionally, the dark sky would light up at the bright lightning strikes. The pit-
pat of the rain hitting the ground was accompanied by the roaring of the thunder.

Amidst this storm, Hyunmi was sitting at the top of a playground, hugging herself
tight as the wind attacked her yet once again. She was shivering from the cold
weather, as the rain pelted on her with the movement of the wind again.

Hyunmi was merely wearing a hoodie and short pants that weren’t good enough to keep
her body warm. She had run out of the house only with her handphone and no jacket
at all.
‘What do I do now?’

Her lips were turning blue and the chilly night of Seoul was no joke especially
when it was raining this heavily. Her teeth were chattering and her whole body was
shaking.

‘I’ve got to save myself this time.’

Hyunmi took a deep breath and slowly untangle her arms. She slowly took her phone
out and her numb hands scrolled through the contacts in her phone. She already had
a number in mind to call for help.

Her dad’s friend. Samchon.

But, before she reached Samchon’s contact number, her eyes went past a name in her
contact list.

‘Jongie Oppa <3’

The tips of her mouth lifted into a tiny smile as she found her lifesaver. This
person was the one who could save her from all this drama. The one who always stood
by her no matter what happened.

Her childhood friend. No, her very first friend.

The person who forced her to call him Oppa the very first time they met, just
because she was smaller in size than him.

Jonghyun.

With her shivering body, trembling hands and pounding heart, she dialed the number
and prayed that he never changed his number.

“Yoboseyo?”The call finally connected and a voice spoke.

Hyunmi mentally heaved a sigh of relief and said through her cold lips.

“Hello? J-Jonghyun Oppa?”

24.Meeting Jonghyun's members and talking with him

Chapter 24
[Hyunmi’s POV]

A hot chocolate appeared under my nose as I was taking in my surroundings. I

blinked and stared at it.

“Drink it. It’ll make you feel better.”

I looked up and saw one of Jonghyun’s members smiling at me.

“Thank you.” I smiled back and gladly took the cup from him. I put both my frozen
hands on the cup and slowly brought the cup to my lips. It really felt good as the
warm liquid went down my throat, warming my body.

“Feels good right?” The guy asked, as he made himself comfortable sitting beside
me.

“Neh.” I answered and put down the cup before pulling the blanket on my shoulders
closer to me. I was still shivering lightly even after drinking that cup of hot
chocolate.

Just then, Jonghyun came rushing in with a hoodie and a pair of long pants. He
shoved them to me and motioned for me to go change in his room. I hurriedly rush
into his room, huddled in the blanket. I closed the door and started changing my
clothes as I remembered the moment Jonghyun had came looking for me.

Flashback~

“Hello? J-Jonghyun Oppa?”

“Minnie Mouse?”

Hearing a familiar voice calling my nickname made me broke down into tears again.

“Oppa” I cried out.

“Omo! Hyunmi! What happened? Are you in Korea now? Where are you?” Jonghyun started
throwing questions at me.

The tears kept coming and I barely managed to get my words out. When I finally told
him where I was, he had hung up on me after ordering to stay where I was.

When he hung up and the only thing that travelled through my ears was the dial
tone, a fresh set of tears travelled down my pale cheeks. I sobbed and clutched
hard onto my phone as if it was a life saver. I don’t know how long it had take
Jonghyun to come here; I only knew that it felt like an eternity had passed before
I heard him calling for me.

“Hyunmi! Park Hyunmi! Where are you? Hyunmi!”

“Oppa!” I mustered up all my strength and shout out to him.

After awhile, he finally found me and had me in his arms; shouting “Hyung! I found
her! Up here!”. Feeling his warm arms around my freezing body triggered my emotions
again and I just sobbed into his arms, unable to even say anything.

Jonghyun wordlessly hugged me closer as someone came up to the top of the

playground.
“What the… Changjo! What happened?” A voice that I didn’t recognize spoke.

“I don’t know! Hyung, can you help me carry her to the car?” Jonghyun replied.

The stranger didn’t reply but proceeded towards me and lifted me up. He went down
the playground and in a few minutes, I was inside a car. But, I didn’t let go of my
hold on the stranger’s neck; strangely, I felt safe in his arms.

“Yah! Choi Jonghyun! Ige Bouya?” I heard another voice questioned Jonghyun.

“Mollayo. Hyung, just drive us back to the dorm.” Jonghyun said calmly.

The car started its journey back to Jonghyun’s dorm and Jonghyun slowly unraveled
my arms from the stranger’s neck. He then pulled me closer to him and I was now
sandwiched between him and the stranger.

“Hyunmi, what happened?” Jonghyun asked in a soothing voice that had me pouring out
everything once again.

As I blabbered out my last sentence, the driver announced that we had arrived and
once again, I found myself in the stranger’s arms. I shook badly as the chilly air
of South Korea once again enveloped me. Noticing this, the stranger then hurried
his steps and soon, I was in the living room of a dorm.

Jonghyun then left to find me some clothes while the stranger went to get me a
blanket. After he got me a blanket, the stranger left to kitchen and soon, another
guy appeared handing me the hot chocolate.

Present~

I unlocked the door as the short memory ended. I went to the living room with my
wet clothes and a happier feeling that I had someone behind me at the very least.
As I entered the living room, I saw 3 guys on the couch and 3 on the floor with
their backs facing me.

“Jonghyun?” I called out, cautious of what is going to happen next.

At once, 6 heads whipped around and faced me. I recognize four of them; Jonghyun,
the stranger, the driver and the guy who brought me the hot chocolate. Now, that I
had a good look, the stranger is actually quite good-looking; the hot chocolate guy
is pretty looking but yet, look man enough; while the driver looks like… Taylor
Lautner. The two other guys whom I didn’t recognize were also staring at me. One of
them had thick lips while the other just spells out ‘a-d-o-r-a-b-l-e’. And,
Jonghyun… well, just looks like Jonghyun.

Jonghyun stood up and came over to me giving me a tight hug.

“I miss you so much!”

“I miss you too! Mickey Mouse!” I couldn’t help but squeal. One hug from him was
all it takes to lift my horrible mood. All the upset feelings were gone in a matter
of seconds when his arms wrapped around my body.

“Ehem. I don’t mean to interrupt in this lovely reunion, but Changjo, that girl
needs to go to bed or she’ll get sick.” The hot chocolate guy interrupted said.
Jonghyun then let go of me and look at that guy, sighing “Neh, Chanhee Umma.”

“Umma? Like Byunghee Umma?” I blurted out. Oops, there goes my tongue again. Aish,
I need to stop thinking about MBLAQ.

“You know MBLAQ? Do you know us?” The adorable guy asked excitedly.

“Pabo! Knowing MBLAQ doesn’t mean she knows us.” Chanhee ‘Umma’ knocked his head.
The adorable guy then pouted, turning away from Chanhee ‘Umma’.

Ignoring him, Chanhee ‘Umma’ started talking again. “Anyways, Changjo, get your
friend in bed now. It’s late and she needs to rest before she falls sick because I
have no idea how long she was in that rain.”

“Arrasoyo. Minnie Mouse kaja.” Jonghyun hooked onto my arm and started walking
towards his room.

“Chakamanyo!” I tugged at his arm and look at the five other guys. “Introductions
first! Five minutes won’t hurt right?”

Chanhee ‘Umma’ sighed and agreed.

One by one, the guys stood up and Jonghyun left my side to join them. They stood in
one straight line and introduced themselves.

“Annyeonghasayo! Teen Top imida!” They chorused.

My jaw literally dropped. Another idol group? God, what is it always that I have to
meet idol groups? Can’t I have normal friends? God… Hopefully, I won’t get into
another mess of trouble.

I soon learned that Taylor Lautner was C.A.P aka Bang Minsoo, Chanhee is also known
as Chunji, thick lips guy is Niel aka Ahn Daniel, stranger is L.Joe aka Lee
Byunghun, adorable guy is Ricky aka Yoo Changhyun and my bestie, Choi Jonghyun is
the maknae who is also known as Changjo or the dancing boy.

“Annyeonghasayo, Park Hyunmi imida.” I greeted back.

And with that, Chunji rushed me and Jonghyun back into Jonghyun’s room.

Well, his exact words were ‘Choi Jonghyun, you better get her to sleep within the
next half hour. Or, you’re going to get it from Umma.’

Once we were inside the room, Jonghyun pushed me onto the bed and plopped down
beside me. We turned to face each other, smiling at each other. It was silence for
awhile and then Jonghyun spoke in a serious but comforting tone.

“Yah, Park Hyunmi. Do you know how much I missed you? Why didn’t you call at all?”

“Mianhe Jonghyun. I missed you too. I wanted to call too, but I never got the
chance to.” A single tear slide down my cheek.

“What happened?” He asked in a soft voice.

“I found out that all the so-called friends I had, weren’t really friends with me.
They were just after my dad’s money.” I whispered as the painful memories attacked
me.

And, this is why I said Jonghyun was my very first friend. He was the first person
that befriended me not because of my status, but because of who I was.

“Ulgima.” He gently wiped away my tears. With that one word, I knew he understood
why I never got the chance to call him.

After that incident, I had closed myself up because I was afraid of hypocrites
hurting me again. To the extent that, I wanted to keep Jonghyun’s memories to
myself, I was so scared that he would be the same as them. If so, I didn’t want to
know. I rather him be a good memory to me, so at least, I had a friend before.

“I’m not like that. You know it.” He smiled and I knew he meant it. It was shown in
his eyes. The sincerity.

It really feels good to know someone is there to protect from everything. That
you’re safe in that person’s arms. And, right now, that person is Jonghyun.

“Thanks Jonghyun.” I smiled back.

“Hyunmi, are you sure you’re okay?” He gazed at me worriedly. He was referring to
the incidents that had me calling him.

I gave him a small nod and tight smile before snuggling closer to him. I wasn’t
okay, but I didn’t want to think about it right now. All, I want is to know that
I’m safe with Jonghyun around.

“Saranghae Choi Jonghyun.” I mean it. I was really glad that he was here with me,
lending me his shoulder. Or, I would be really lost.

“Nado, Saranghae Park Hyunmi.” He whispered and planted a kiss on my forehead.

And, with that, I drifted off to dreamland.

[Changjo’s POV]

‘Mianhe Hyunmi.’ I mentally apologized as I looked at the sleeping girl in front of

me. I know that you’re not fine at all; which is why I have to do this. I have to
make things right for her; she doesn’t deserve any of this.

I carefully slipped out of her hold and took her phone that was lying on the
nightstand. I scrolled through her contacts and finally found the one that I
wanted. I took a deep breath and pressed ‘Call’.

Almost immediately the person picked up and asked tons of questions.

“Hyunmi! Where are you? Are you okay?”

“________ Hyung, it’s me. Changjo from Teen Top, Hyunmi’s childhood friend.” I
answered calmly.

“Changjo?”
25.Now They know

Chapter 25

[No one’s POV]

“Screech!”

A car halted to a stop, just merely five centimeters from hitting Seungho. Stunned,
Seungho sat on the ground, staring blankly at the car in front of him. The driver
swiftly hopped out of the car along with the only passenger.

“Seungho?” The driver called out, confused and curious.

“Yah! Seungho ah! Gwenchana?! Yah!”

It wasn’t until that the second guy started shaking and calling him, that Seungho
snapped out of the trance and returned to his senses.

“Eunhyuk Sunbaenim… Leeteuk Sunbaenim…” Seungho greeted weakly, still shock from
the incident.

Before Leeteuk and Eunhyuk could even reply or ask Seungho what had happened, the
rest of the MBLAQ members were running out of the house, calling for their hyung.
They had heard the loud screeching of the tires braking hurriedly and ran out, only
to find their leader on the ground and the two Super Junior Sunbaenims kneeling
next to him.

“MBLAQ?” Eunhyuk whispered curiously to his hyung, who in turn, shrugged as he too
had no answers.

When Seungho showed no signs response, Leeteuk had ordered the MBLAQ members to
help their hyung in and Eunhyuk to park their car while he followed MBLAQ back into
the house.

Thunder had rushed into the kitchen, pouring a glass of water for his hyung. They
all sat down and Thunder handed the glass to Seungho who just slowly drank it. 5
minutes passed before Seungho regained back to his senses.

“Hyunmi!” was the first thing that Seungho shouted as he remembered his motive for
running of the house.

“Hyung! Are you okay?” The MBLAQ members jumped at their hyung as soon as Seungho
said Hyunmi’s name.

“I’m fine! I’m fine! I need to go now. Hyunmi, Hyunmi! She needs me!” Seungho
started getting up from his seat.

“Boom!” The sound of the thunder came without any warning. Outside of the house,
the rain had started falling and lightning striked.

“Hyung! Come back to your senses please! It’s so late and it’s pouring! How are you
going to find her in this kind of weather?!” G.O snapped, unable to stand his
leader’s recklessness.

Seungho stood rooted to the ground as G.O scolded him.

‘Byung hee is right. I need to think straight.’ Seungho told himself as he tried to
calm down.

Seungho sat down and the MBLAQ members heaved a sigh of relief. They were all glad
that their leader was at least thinking for now. Meanwhile, Eunhyuk –who had
returned just now- and Leeteuk were thrown into confusion.

“Erm… Anyone like to tell us what exactly happened? Because I and Leeteuk Hyung are
EXREMEMLY confused now.” Eunhyuk asked, his patience gone.

“Yeah. Guys? Mind explaining why you know Hyunmi and what are you doing at my
house?” Leeteuk inquired. He too, was hungry for answers.

Thunder sighed for the umpteenth time and look at his members; who in turn give him
a ‘go ahead’ look. Thunder then looked at his Super Junior Hyungs and started
explaining.

“Sunbaes, what I’m going to say might shock you or anger you. But, please, wait
till I finish the whole story alright?”

“Arasso. Palli.” Eunhyuk started rushing Thunder.

“Well, you’re probably wondering why Seungho Hyung was rushing out of your house.
Well, it starts from three days ago. Remember Hyunmi leaving the house in a hurry
and then later texting Alexander Sunbae about her going on a cruise? You might have
known that that was a lie already; and yes, it is a lie. Seungho Hyung had found
Hyunmi at a playground, three days ago and he had brought her home after she told
him what happened.” Thunder paused, letting his Sunbaes take in what he had just
said.

Five seconds later, he continued, this time without stopping.

“Hyunmi didn’t want to lie, but she didn’t have a choice. She didn’t run out of the
house for no reason, she had been hurt by Yoona-sshi. What she did to Hyunmi was
uncalled for; I can’t tell you what she did, because I think that part belongs to
Hyunmi to decide if she wants to tell you. Hyunmi had spent the three days with us
and she went back this morning without us knowing. I don’t know what happened
before we arrived; all I know is that Heechul Sunbae did something that had Hyunmi
running away… again.”

Thunder’s expression turned into a sad one as he said the last word. Hyunmi was
like a dongsaeng to him. He had grown close to the younger girl without knowing and
he like Seungho, hated to know that Hyunmi had been hurt once again. His love for
Hyunmi might not be the same as Seungho, but, he too loves that girl. Ever since
Hyunmi arrived at their dorm, Thunder had treated that girl like a younger sister,
and he really wants to be there with her right now. It hurt him to know that she’s
out there alone without his protection.
Thunder shook all those thoughts and refocused on his Sunbaes in front of him.
Hearing Thunder’s words had momentarily shocked Leeteuk. The latter was lost in his
thoughts, and paid no attention to his surroundings.

‘How could I have not notice anything? How could I have been so blind? I’m such a
failure! Appa only gave me a simple task, to take care of my dongsaengs and I
messed it up so badly. I’m such a failure, I’m so stupid. Why can’t I even complete
such an easy task? I’m so messed up. What’s wrong with me?!’

“Hyung! Teukie Hyung! Gwenchana?! Hyung!”

It wasn’t until Eunhyuk started calling and shaking his hyung that Leeteuk snapped
out of his thoughts and refocused on the matter in front of him.

“Mian, I wasn’t focusing.” Leeteuk apologized to his dongsaengs.

“Sunbae, it’s okay. I know it’s a lot to digest right now. But, I hope you’ll think
it through and don’t scold Hyunmi when she comes back.” Thunder said.

Leeteuk shook his head at Thunder’s plead. He couldn’t believe that Thunder was
still asking him to not scold Hyunmi. He was the one in the wrong so it should be
the other way round. He should be the one apologizing to Hyunmi for being such a
lousy brother.

Leeteuk laughed with no humor.

“Thunder, I’m the one who should apologize to my sister, not the other way round. I
fail as her brother.”

“Aniyo, Sunbae. I believed that you’re a great brother. It’s just that things are
not going smoothly now. Just think of it as a test for you siblings.” G.O
encouraged with a smile.

“Yeah, Hyung, don’t give up on yourself and Hyunmi too. Hwaiting!” Eunhyuk said,
grinning.

“Arraso. Hyuk Jae, can you get my other dongsaengs back here as soon as possible?
Mir, could you get the rest that are upstairs to come down?” Leeteuk asked.

“Neh.” Eunhyuk and Mir then went to get the guys down.

Half an hour later, all the idols were gathered in the living room with a few
exceptions. Suju’s Kibum was upstairs with Yoona and Heechul had refused to come
down from his room.

“So, anyone wants to explain to me what happened?” Leeteuk started the dreaded
topic. The idols that were present during the drama fidgeted in their positions
while the ones that weren’t there gave confused looks.

When no one answered his questions, Leeteuk’s patience and coolness snapped. He
wanted to know the full story of what happened between Heechul that leaded to
Hyunmi running away from the house again. He was tired from his day of schedules
and this matter was causing him a headache.

“YAH! ARE YOU ALL DEAF?! ANSWER MY QUESTION!” Leeteuk yelled at the guys.

Everyone stared in shock. Leeteuk had never been one with a short temper and that
guy was one patient guy. He rarely loses his temper and is usually very
understanding to everyone.
“Hyung…” Eunhyuk whispered.

Junsu took in a deep breath and explained the situation to Leeteuk and everyone
else that didn’t know. After his explanation, it was dead silent until a few
seconds later.

“WHAT?!”

“MY BABY SISTER!”

“WHAT IS THIS SHIT?!”

“SHUT UP!!!”

The last sentence had come from Leeteuk who couldn’t stand everyone’s shouting. It
was making his headache worse if possible. Everyone kept quiet immediately.

“Hyung…” This time Onew was the one that called out for Leeteuk.

Leeteuk, Jaebum, TOP, Alexander, Doojoon and Onew were all messed up with their
feelings now. All of them could only feel the pain that their baby sister had to go
through all of this alone. They wanted nothing then to hold the girl in their arms
and apologized to her. They all felt like bursting out of the door to look for her,
to tell her how sorry they were, to tell her how much they love her.

But, they couldn’t because of the situation they were in now. They could only wait.
And, the wait was killing them. Seconds felt like forever. Tick tock, tick tock.
The sound of the clock could be heard because of the silence they were in now and
it felt like the clock was mocking them and reminding them about how big of a
failure they were.

“Neo gateun saram tto eopseo~”

Leeteuk’s phone rang, breaking the silence. Everyone stared at it as if it was an

alien. As Siwon’s voice continued travelling through the speaker, Leeteuk finally
regained his senses and snatched the phone up as if it was a matter of life and
death.

Well, it was. Literally.

Because, Hyunmi is like a matter of life and death for Leeteuk.

26.Appa's help

Chapter 26

[Hyunmi’s POV]
I opened my eyes and blinked a little. I took in my surroundings and remembered all
that happened last night. Turning around, I realized that Jonghyun wasn’t beside me
now. He must have gone to sleep at the other’s room last night.

Stretching a little, I got up and went to wash up. I giggled a little as I saw a
note beside a pink toothbrush.

‘I hope you like pink ^^

-Umma’

Chunji Oppa must have come in when I was asleep to put the toothbrush. How
thoughtful of him to do that. There were also a fresh set of clothes beside the
basin. I took them and started peeling off my clothes.

As the water ran down my skin, the thoughts of the incident came back to me.

How was I going to solve this? I can’t keep running away from all this. But, I
don’t know how to face Oppa’s members after all that happened. My life is just so
screwed. What do I do? It’s so complicated. I need help. Appa, will you send some
help?

I shook all those thoughts out of my head as I dressed up. I went out of the
bathroom and sat on the bed for awhile. I need to reorganize my thoughts for
awhile. I can’t keep running away from all this. Yes, I can’t. I need to do
something. But, what?

Aish. Whatever, I’m hungry, I’m just going to have breakfast first. I headed
towards the door and heard loud noises coming from the living room. Are we having
guests? Hmm, maybe?

I turned the knob and went out. As I reached the living room, I saw who the guests
were.

“Hyunmi…” One of them called out to me.

“Oppa…”

Appa, I guess you got my message.

Well, your ‘help’ did arrive in a much unexpected manner.

Chapter 27

[Hyunmi’s POV]

I could only stare at the people in front of me. Twelve of them to be exact. I
wanted to speak, to say something, so that I would know what’s going on. But, the
only word that would escape my lips was ‘Oppa’.

It wasn’t until one of them came in front of me and hugged me that I realized this
is reality.

My real half-brothers were here.

In Teen Top’s dorm.

“Hyunmi ah… Mianhe. Cheongmal Mianhe.” Leeteuk Oppa whispered as he hugged me

closer to his broad chest.

“Oppa…” The same word came out of my mouth again. I really don’t know what to say.

“Ulgima, Hyunmi ah…” Xander Oppa came forward to wipe away my tears that had
unknowingly escaped.

“Hyunmi ah…” The other Oppas came over and soon we were having a group hug.

The warmth, the comfort, the feeling of being wanted made me broke down all over
again. I felt loved again. The hug fixed all the insecurities I was having. It made
me feel safe.

Most of all, loved.

For the first time since Appa died, I felt protected and that someone would be
there to protect me, to keep me safe. That someone loves me. That I wasn’t an
abandoned kid. That I would have someone to turn to. That I can hide in my Oppas’
arms and never worry about anything.

For the first time, I didn’t feel alone.

In their arms, I feel like even if the whole world falls, I would still be safe. No
one could harm me there.

The hug felt so right.

It almost felt like Appa was the one giving me the hug.

Appa, the person I had loved most.

Being in their arms, I knew that I still have family left. I knew I had people who
cared about me, who worry for me… Who loves me.

In that moment, I knew that everything was going to be alright. Because, they were
there for me. I know it is going to be.

Thank you, Appa.

For sending these guardian Angels to me.

Because, right now, I feel loved again. I feel like you never left, that you are
just by my side. I never knew I could have this feeling again. I never knew that
actually, I still had the chance to feel this kind of love. I never knew that I
would have six times more of this love.

Park Jungsoo, Choi Seunghyun, Park Jaebum, Alexander, Yoon Doojoon, Lee Jinki.

The six angels that you send.

They made me feel loved.

It felt so nice to know that I matter to someone.

It was everything I had wanted.

The feeling that no matter who I am, regardless of what I did, they will still love
me.

Thank you, Appa.

And, thank you.

My Oppas.

Thank you for making me feel so loved. For making me feel that I’m not alone. That
I’m wanted. That I still mattered. That someone still cares for me.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

[Leeteuk’s POV]

As I held Hyunmi in my arms, the tears trailed down my cheeks. Finally, I can hold
her in my arms. Finally, she was back with me.

I never knew it mattered so much to just have her in my arms. I never knew that she
mattered to me so much.

When Appa first told me about her and his life story, I was actually jealous and
mad at her. She got to live with my biological father for 17 years, when I only got
to see that man once or twice a year.
Whenever Appa talked about her, he always had this spark in his eyes. The spark
that I didn’t get to own. The spark that showed how much he loves Hyunmi.

I knew that she was his everything.

I was so jealous of how much my Appa loves her. I knew that I would never be able
to be compared to her.

Appa had made me promise that I would take care of all my dongsaengs, especially
Hyunmi. I wasn’t someone who was easily jealous but because of the fact she was so
close to my dad, I was blinded by the jealousy and anger that I had promised Appa
only half-heartedly.

However, the first time I saw her, I knew I would fulfill my promise to Appa with
all my heart. The look on her face, it was just indescribable. She looked like a
lost puppy with all the guys ‘attacking’ her. That moment onwards, I made myself
swear that I will fulfill the promise.

The moment that I knew she was gone and that she had lied, my heart had dropped. It
felt so empty. I thought I had done something wrong for her to run away. I felt
like a failure. It wasn’t even a week that we had lived together and she had run
away from me. I couldn’t even fulfill the only promise I had made to Appa.

But, everything, everything disappeared as soon as she appeared before me. The
moment she was in my arms, that very moment, I knew everything is going to be okay.

Because, my baby sister is here.

Right here, in my arms.

Park Hyunmi, I’m so glad that you are back.

I love you, I really do.

I’m sorry for not being by your side when you needed me the most.

I’ll be a better brother.

I promise.

[TOP’s POV]

“Hyunmi ah…”

My voice had seemed to find its own way out of my mouth. My legs had seemed to find
its own way to operate, because I found myself moving towards Hyunmi and Leeteuk
Hyung. My arms had seemed to find its way to move, because I found myself joining
in the group hug.

My tears seemed to have found its way out of my eyes, because I found myself crying
along with the others.

And, my heart really hurts seeing Hyunmi crying. It hurts remembering that I didn’t
know of all the pain Hyunmi went through alone. It hurts knowing I had failed to
protect her as an older brother. It hurts hearing the sobs coming out from her
lips.
The very first time I heard about her, I remained indifferent. Out of everyone, I’m
one of the children that had a more distant relationship with Appa. I had blocked
everyone out. So, hearing about Hyunmi, I could care less. I was just going to let
my heart remain closed. I wasn’t prepared to open my heart at all.

But, the first time I saw her, amazingly I didn’t feel any hatred at all. In fact,
she was the one who made me open my heart. Even though we only know each other for
a short time, I felt happier than I have been. Her teasing, the kiss on my cheek,
her smiles. Everything made me want to protect her.

Knowing that she was hurt and I wasn’t there to protect her just makes me feel like
a useless brother.

I wished I had been there for her.

I wished I had been able to protect her.

I wished that she hadn’t been hurt.

Park Hyunmi.

The little sister that I cared so much for.

I’m sorry.

I’ll try to be a better brother.

I promise.

[Jaebum’s POV]

Hyunmi wasn’t in my arms but I was just glad that someone was holding on to her. I
would never admit it, but my heart was literally broken when I heard about what
happened between her and Yoona.

I would have never thought that she was carrying such a heavy burden all by
herself. I had actually thought that she lied to us while she went away having fun…

I’m such a terrible brother for even having those thoughts.

During Appa’s last visit to me, he told me about Hyunmi. I had disliked Appa’s ways
since young, I don’t know why but I just couldn’t bring myself to forgive him for
hurting my mom. Mom had loved him. So, as usual, the hatred blinded me and I found
myself hating on Hyunmi too, for being another of Appa’s child.

But, the wall I placed between me and Appa disappeared when I first saw her. I just
couldn’t bring myself to hate such an angelic person. I could understand Appa’s
words to me.

‘Jaebum ah, I know Appa is wrong for the things I had done. But, please, for me.
Please take care of your youngest sister, Park Hyunmi. She’s different from all of
you. She was born in a different situation. So, please, take care of her for me.’

At that very moment, as I recall Appa’s words. The tears started dropping.

I’m going to protect Hyunmi with all I have.

Park Hyunmi, Oppa is going to protect you.

I promise.

[Alexander’s POV]

I watched as Leeteuk Hyung enveloped Hyunmi into a tight hug. The very second tears
travelled down Hyunmi’s cheeks, I couldn’t control my feelings anymore.

In an instance, I had her in my arms. The feeling of being able to hold her again
had me trapped in a sea of emotions.

I was so glad and relieved that she was back in my arms.

Yet, I can’t help but be upset and worried about the emotional pain that had been
inflicted on her.

It pained me tremendously to see her so vulnerable like this.

I can still remember the time Appa had come to tell me about Hyunmi. I had been so
excited to meet her. I had always wanted a younger sister and my wish finally got
granted. The very first time we met, I knew she would be a great sister to me.

Now seeing her hurt like this, I can’t help but blame myself for being so careless
and gullible. How could I have believe her lies? She must have felt so alone and
helpless. I should have been there for her through all of this.

But, I hadn’t been.

I’m sorry.

Park Hyunmi, as your older brother, I’ll try with all my might to protect you.

I promise.

[Doojoon’s POV]

The instance I saw her appear at the hallway in the dorm, my emotions just took
over me. A wave of guilt washed over me as I look at the girl a few metres away
from me.

Hyunmi looked so tired and different from her energetic self. She had eye bags
around her beautiful eyes and she was so thin.

Appa had told me all about her past. Every single thing about it. He told me that I
was the only one who know about her past. He never told me why he didn’t tell the
others.

As I looked at my younger sister, I could see why she had suffered so much. She
must have been comparing the situation to her past one. I wished so much that I had
been there for her in the past and for this incident.

I wanted to tell her ‘I’m sorry’ so badly. But, I’m scared it won’t be enough. For
now, I just want to hold her in my arms like that.
Park Hyunmi.

I’m sorry.

I should have been a better brother since I know what you have gone through.

I’ll do my best from now on.

I promise.

[Onew’s POV]

I never thought I would cry. Neither have I thought that I will see my Hyungs cry.

I guess my thinking was wrong. I cried. So did my Hyungs.

How could I not cry when my younger sister was standing between us, with tears
dropping like it was from a free flow tap?

It hurts so much seeing her cry so hard like this. It really does. I wish I could
make her smile right now. But, I know it’s impossible because I can’t even smile
for her right now.

‘Jinki ah, Appa just wants you to do one thing. Just one thing. Keep your
dongsaeng’s smile on her face. Don’t let it disappear. I trust you. You always had
this presence around you that never fails to make people smile. So, please, keep
her smiling.’

Tears fell even harder remembering Appa’s words. He only wanted me to do one thing,
to keep Hyunmi smiling. I felt like I betrayed Appa’s trust in me. I had let Hyunmi
suffered alone, with the pain and the hurt. I hadn’t keep her smiling like I should
have.

Hyunmi ah.

I’m so sorry.

Park Hyumi, I’ll keep you smiling like I should have done so.

I promise.

[Changjo’s POV]

As I watched the heartwarming scene in front of me, I knew I had make a right
decision calling Leeteuk hyung. I could feel tears slipping from my own eyes.

Finally, Hyunmi had found her own home. She finally has people who cares about her
truly. After all she has been through, I’m glad she got what she deserved

Hyunmi ah, I’m so happy for you.

28.Everything is alright

Chapter 28

[No one’s POV]

Slowly, the idols let go of Hyunmi one by one, leaving only Leeteuk who was still
side-hugging Hyunmi. It was silent for awhile with the idols all looking away,
wiping the tears that had fallen.

“I guess we will be leaving now. Thanks for all the help, Changjo. And, you too.
Thanks Teen Top. I owe you guys one.” TOP said with a salute.

“Aniyo, Sunbaenim. Hyunmi is like a sister to me. So, taking care of her is my
responsibility. If anything, please just take good care of her.” Changjo paused,
taking a glance at Hyunmi before continuing. “She isn’t your normal rich girl who
has a… perfect life. Hyunmi has really been through a lot. So, please, take good
care of her.”

Hyunmi’s brothers were all curious of Changjo’s words with the exception of
Doojoon. But, no one pressed on because they were still worried about Hyunmi’s
present condition. While on the other hand, Teen Top, especially Chunji, looked
like they were about to pounce on Changjo for answers, well, literally. Despite
only having a mere five minutes of contact last night, Hyunmi had seemed to grow on
the older boys.

“Hyunmi? Let’s go back alright?” Leeteuk asked in a soft, worried tone.

The younger girl bit her lip, an action that didn’t go unnoticed by Changjo and
Doojoon. But, both didn’t mention a thing, just watching silently from the side.
Even though none voiced their concerns, the duo was worried about the younger
girl’s emotions.

Both knew what she had been through in the past and couldn’t help but be afraid
that this Yoona incident had caused yet another scar in her already scarred heart.
They saw the hurt, the fear and the hesitation in her swollen, puffy eyes.

But, slowly they saw the changes in her eyes.

Hyunmi had looked around her and saw there was no reason for her to be afraid at
all. She was surrounded by everyone she loves; there was no reason for fear at all.
She closed her eyes for a moment and opens them, this time with determination
filled in them.
She turned towards Leeteuk and looked straight into his eyes.

“Oppa, you’ll protect me right?” It wasn’t a doubt; it was a question to confirm

her brother’s love for her. She wanted to make sure that the decision she was going
to make wasn’t going to be one she would regret.

At Hyunmi’s words, Leeteuk softened and gently kissed her forehead.

“Of course I will. Your other Oppas will protect you too.” He smiled at her.

The others nodded their head willingly.

The side of Hyunmi’s mouth then lifted up into a warm, genuine smile. A smile that
everyone missed and wanted to see.

“Thank you Oppas.”

29.Apologies and Forgiveness

Chapter 29

[No one’s POV]

As Hyunmi and her brothers arrived at the door of their house, Hyunmi started to
tense up. Leeteuk, who was holding her hand, sensed it and gently give it a tight
squeeze. The other brothers also smiled encouragingly at Hyunmi as TOP started
opening the door. Taking a deep breath, Hyunmi looked at her brothers once more
before stepping into the room.

Upon reaching, she saw many bodies sprawled and spread out across the living room.
They, of course, belonged to the idols that have fallen asleep while waiting for
Hyunmi. Hyunmi’s older brothers had gone out in the bright dawn of 5am, and the
time now was already 10am. Since, the idols didn’t get much sleep last night after
their individual schedules, they all feel asleep unknowingly.

Seeing the sight, Hyunmi couldn’t help but chuckled a little. Her chuckle woke up
some of the idols who were light sleepers and who in turn started nudging all the
others to wake up too.

Soon, the living room was filled with sounds of protest, confusion and some of
delight.

“Hyunmi ah!”

Taemin, Shinee’s ever adorable maknae ran and hug the girl as soon as he came to
realization that she was back. He had liked the girl very much indeed and it pained
him much that she had to go through all the emotional pain. And, so Taemin was very
very glad that the young girl was back.

In moments, the idols who were present gathered near Hyunmi; some hugging her while
others were just looking.

Even though these were just small gestures of showing concern and care, it touched
the bottom of Hyunmi’s heart, and the young girl’s eyes could not help but
glistened with tears. As the idols showered her with encouraging and caring words,
the tears started trailing down her cheeks.

Never once in her life had she been so showered with so much love and care.

For the very first time in her life, she felt complete.

Complete with a real family.

One that would care for her when she was down.

One that would love her unconditionally.

One that would share her happiness and joy.

And, one that would help her lessen her burdens and sadness.

With all those emotions inside her, Hyunmi began to cry even more. Her tears
dropping down from her eyes even faster.

It wasn’t until Yoseob had tried to comfort her that everyone noticed she was
crying.

Immediately, the idols started comforting her and tried to calm her down, which in
turn only made the younger girl dropped more tears. They then brought her to the
couch and someone brought Hyunmi a cup of water while the rest stay silent, giving
her some time to calm down.

After Hyunmi calmed down, her tears drying up more or less, she started to speak.

“T-thank you so much Oppas. I really don’t deserve all your love. Thank you so
much. Thank you, thank you.”

“Of course you do, you’re our only yo-dongsaeng. Who would we love if it’s not
you?” Leeteuk said, with a gentle smile on his face.

Unable to return his words, Hyunmi could only smile as she hugged her oldest
brother. The others watched the heartwarming scene and some like Donghae, even had
tears in his eyes.

Then, someone broke the unspoken rule of not mentioning about the past.

“Hyunmi.” The person called out. A clear, female voice rang out among the many of
the male ones, and it obviously narrowed it down to one person.

The very person who started all of this- Im Yoona.

The very lady had come down from Kibum’s room after staying there for the night
when she heard the arrival of Hyunmi. After crying for a few hours about Heechul’s
heartbreaking words, Yoona had started thinking about her own actions and realized
how mean she had been to Hyunmi. And, now, the young lady was going to apologize to
the victim of her actions- Park Hyunmi.

Before anyone could speak, Yoona continued in a gentle, guilty, sincere and sorry
tone.

“I’m Sorry.”

The moments those two words were out, Hyunmi gasped while Leeteuk had smiled. He
knew that Yoona would apologize sooner or later; she had just been foolish and
wasn’t thinking straight for awhile. Leeteuk had never been wrong about one’s
character and he knew that Yoona wasn’t someone bad.

“I’m sorry for causing all those pain on you. I don’t mean it intentionally, I just
wasn’t thinking straight that day. I’m sorry for all my words. I’ll take all of
them back. You probably won’t forgive me, but I just needed to let you know that
I’m really sorry.”

Yoona continued her apologies as she stared straight into Hyunmi’s eyes. She didn’t
know if Hyunmi would forgive her or not, for after all, what Yoona had done wasn’t
a small matter.

On the other hand, Hyunmi did know about her forgiveness towards Yoona. Her dad had
always taught her that forgiving someone who sincerely apologized and knew one’s
mistakes isn’t just letting them go of their guiltiness; it was also freeing your
own self from the pain and misery of the person’s mistakes.

And so, Hyunmi took in a deep breath before letting out a smile while keeping her
gaze on Yoona’s black orbs.

“I forgive you. Bygones are bygones, what’s important is the future, isn’t it,
Yoona Unnie?”

The three words that meant forgiveness and the ‘Unnie’ in her sentence made Yoona
stunned for a moment. She couldn’t believe that Hyunmi had forgiven her that
easily. But, realizing that the younger girl was not going to mind about the past,
Yoona returned Hyunmi’s smile with one of her own.

And, it was then that Yoona and Hyunmi knew they were going to be quite good
friends.

After Yoona’s apology and Hyunmi’s forgiveness, the room started getting noisier as
the idols chattered about the recent happenings. But, they soon quiet down again as
they looked at one person.

The very person who has to offer his apologies too.

Kim Heechul.

As every gaze in the room turned to him –with the exception of Hyunmi-, Heechul
started to feel a little uncomfortable. He was a straightforward person that never
cared about the feelings of others. But, somehow the incident with Hyunmi had
actually made him felt guilty.

“Mianhe.” Was the only word that Heechul would say.

It wasn’t that he only felt sorry or doesn’t want to elaborate, but it was just
that it was so unlike his character to elaborate on his apologies and so he only
offered a simple ‘Sorry’.
Although it may look to others as inadequate and totally no sincerity, everyone
knew how much it takes for Heechul to say that one word. And, Hyunmi know it so
wordlessly, she walked over to the older man and hugged him.

He stiffened at her touch while she never let go of the hold.

“It’s okay Oppa, I know you are sorry. It doesn’t matter, I still love the Heechul
Oppa who hit on me the first time we met. I still love the milky white skin Kim
Heechul.” Hyunmi said with a slight chuckle.

Upon hearing that, everyone started laughing and chanting Heechul’s favourite
slogan.

“Milky white skin Kim Heechul! Saranghaeyo Kim Heechul!”

As the noise level in the room got louder and rowdier, everyone’s heart also felt
lighter.

Because the drama was finally over.

30.Midnight Swimming with Maknae Oppas

Chapter 30

[Hyunmi’s POV]

I sat up from my bed and sighed. I had been lying there for the past 30 minutes,
tossing and turning, and it wasn’t doing me any good to fall asleep. I sighed once
more and looked at my clock. It was like mocking at me as the clock ticked by,
showing that it was already past midnight.

Today had passed by quickly after Heechul Oppa’s apology. Yoona Unnie had then gone
back to her dorm after staying here for about 3 days. I had learnt from the other
Oppas that all the Unnies had gone back on the day they came at about midnight.
Yoona Unnie had come back the day since she had a few off days because of some
delay in her schedules.

After Yoona Unnie had gone back to her dorm, of course, with Kibum Oppa driving
her, I had took a moment to call the MBLAQ and Teen Top Oppas. Well, more like
listen to MBLAQ scream at me and after that listen to Teen Top comfort me.
There was a HUGE difference between calling
blasted my ears off when they picked up the
running back here on my own and not calling
apologized again and again, reassuring them
worrying.
MBLAQ and Teen Top. MBLAQ practically
phone. They had reprimanded me for
them after I was in safety. I had to
that I am alright and for them to stop

After that, I had called Teen Top and they only said comforting and encouraging
words. It was nice of them, though Chunji Umma kept nagging at me.

I sighed in content as I recalled today’s happenings. It made me realized how many

people actually cared about me and how lucky I actually was. I have a family with
me right here, so I should treasure them from now on.

I stood up and stretched my arms as I walked over to the window. Pulling back the
window drapes, I looked up at the full moon today. The night sky was so beautiful,
but, somehow I still can’t sleep.

Just then, an idea popped into my head. I quickly went to my wardrobe and pulled
out a T-shirt, a pair of shorts and my bikini. The weather was so warm, it was
perfect to go swimming tonight! I hurriedly change into those clothes and grabbed a
towel before quietly slipping down the stairs.

The gorgeous sight of the pool greeted me as I arrived. I put down my towel on one
of the chairs and sat down by the side of pool, only letting my legs into the
water. I giggled as the cold water came in touch with my legs.

“Hyunmi?” A doubting voice called out to me.

I gasped, scared that I had been found out. I turned around, only to see Taemin
Oppa staring at me. I then let out a sigh of relief and waved at him.

“Hi Oppa! Want to join me?” I suggested.

His curious looks immediately changed into a smiling face.

“Okay! Let me get my stuff first!” He said and was ready to run back to the house
when I called out to him.

“Oppa! Get the other maknae Oppas too!” I was excited, it was going to be so fun
with more people. And, what’s more, we are doing this secretly.

Taemin Oppa nodded and gave me a wink before disappearing into the house. I laughed
as I started imagining all the fun we are going to have later. I splashed more
water on my legs.

Five minutes later, the other Oppas started appearing. Yoseob, Henry, Dongho,
Chansung, Wooyoung, Junho, Dongwoon, Sungmin, Ryeowook, Kyuhyun, Seungri and
Daesung Oppa came, of course, including Taemin Oppa too.

I laughed as soon as I saw the amount of guys that came to the pool. I had asked
Taemin Oppa to bring the maknae Oppa and he brought along the fake maknaes too.

“Taeminnie Oppa! Why are the fake maknaes here too?” I laughed.

“Bouya? Fake Maknaes aren’t maknaes? Huh?” Sungmin Oppa said with a fake angry
look.

“Aniya, Sungminnie Oppa. I was just kidding, the more the better of course!” I
replied, smiling widely.

“Let’s have fun!” Seungri Oppa half-shouted and jump into the pool. The other Oppas
followed suit and jumped into the pool causing a big splash. I yelled as I started
to get wet.

“Oppa!”

“Mehrong!” Yoseob Oppa stuck out his tongue at me cutely.

I splashed him some water while still remaining at my place by the pool.

“By the way, Taemin, how did you find Hyunmi out here?” Daesung Oppa asked,
curious.

“Oh, that. I was drinking water in the kitchen when I heard someone giggling and
found that it was Hyunmi.” Taemin Oppa explained logically.

I was listening to his explanation that I didn’t realized Dongho and Henry Oppa had
creep up on me and slyly pulled my legs, causing me to fall into the water. With a
scream, I fell under water.

I coughed up water as I came back up and pushed my hair out of my face.

“Oppa! How could you!” I scolded, accusingly.

The Oppas didn’t reply and just continued laughing. Not being able to stand their
laughter, I attacked the nearest person standing next to me, Chansung Oppa. I went
over to him and jumped on him, causing him to be unbalanced and he fell into the
water.

I then continued my attack, this time on Junho Oppa. I jumped onto his back and
pushed him down. He too, fell into the water. Suddenly, I felt myself being lifted
into the air and looked down. Chansung Oppa had recovered and had me in his arms.

I screamed, asking for him to let me down, which he of course, refused to. He then
threw me into the water and when I recovered, I quickly swam over to Taemin Oppa,
who looks the most innocent at the moment, and hid behind him. I hugged him at his
waist, tightly so that I won’t be carried away by anyone.

[Taemin’s POV]

I let out a gasp mentally as I felt Hyunmi’s hands on my waist. All the guys were
half-naked and so was I. I could feel Hyunmi’s hands on my bare skin and I tried my
best not to blush.

That innocent girl doesn’t realize that she was wearing a white shirt and that it
was wet thoroughly, showing us her bare skin underneath her transparent clothing. I
had gulped when I saw her bare stomach. She just looked so… sexy.

And, now, here that girl was, hugging my waist. Man, is she trying to seduce me or
something? Cos, it’s totally working.

Seeing that Hyunmi was hiding behind me, the rest of the guys went along to play on
their own, leaving me and Hyunmi behind. A few seconds later, she peeked out from
behind me and looked around.

Realizing that the hyungs were gone, Hyunmi let out a sigh of relief and came in
front of me.
“Thanks Taeminnie Oppa!” She gave me a bright smile.

I couldn’t help but smile back. God, this girl is so charming. I swear everything
just makes me like her more. Pushing the fact that I can see her through that white
T-shirt to the back of my mind, I started pulling her hand towards the others.

“Hey Hyungs and Dongho! Let’s have a race!” I yelled.

And, the rest of the night was spent in fun and laughter.

31.Phone call from Jean and snuggling with Jay Oppa

Chapter 31

[Hyunmi’s POV]

“Baby~ You belong with me~”

Still half asleep, I groggily felt the table for my phone.

“Hello?” I yawned.

“YOU BITCH!” Before I could even comprehend the fact that someone had just scolded
me, the person continued, yelling loudly.

“ALEXIA! WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?! RUNNING AWAY WITHOUT TELLING YOUR BEST
FRIEND?! HUH?! YOU OWE ME AND EXPLANANTION!”

Hearing the words ‘best friend’, immediately had me sitting up on my bed, fully
awake. It took five seconds for everything to sink in before I whispered the name
of my best friend into the microphone of my phone.

“Jean?”

“OHMYGOD. ALEXIA. DON’T TELL ME YOU FORGOT YOUR BEST FRIEND?! WHAT HAPPENED IN
KOREA THAT CAUSED YOUR ANEMSIA? OHMYGOD! DID YOU GET INTO A CAR CRASH?! OHMYGOD
WHAT DO I D-?”

“JEAN! Girl! I didn’t forget you! I’m still sleeping. Girl, it’s barely 5am over
here.” I said, with a tone of annoyance though a smile was plastered on my face.
“Oh, well, it’s about 7 in the evening here at London. Sorry. I forgot about the
time difference.”

I could picture my bestie with a sheepish looking smile on her face already.

“It’s okay. Anyway, why are you calling suddenly? Aren’t you still studying at
Brook Hill?” I asked curious.

Jean was at a boarding school in London called The Brook Hill School which was why
she has no idea that I went back to Korea. My other bestie, Kelly was touring with
her parents in France but I did give her a call to tell her about my current
situation. And, of course, the three of us are best friends, well, there used to be
four of us though…

“I’m having a 2 week break. The school’s having some renovations so yeah, I went
back to New York wanting to give you a surprise only to find out that you have gone
to Korea. Man, girl, you couldn’t even ring me for an update on your life?” Jean
chided.

“Sorry, but I was too carried away by… erm, some of the things that had happened
recently.” I apologized, thinking of the recent ‘drama’.

“I swear I was going to call you soon though!” I added quickly, hoping Jean will
forgive me.

“Yeah yeah~ Forget it~ I’ll forgive you just once. Anyways~ Babe, I MISSED YOU!”
She shouted.

“I MISS YOU TOO!” I screamed back, hugging my pillow as if that was my best friend.

“Mimi?” My door opened and a head popped in, calling my name. I turned, only to
find Jay Oppa’s eyes staring at me.

Oops. I think I shouted too loudly. I mouthed a ‘Sorry’ to Jay Oppa and pointed to
my phone. I then motioned for him to come in and he obliged, walking in. As he made
himself comfortable by lying on my bed, I went back to paying attention to the
conversation on my phone.

“Who’s that?” Jean asked.

Knowing that her SUPER sensitive ears had heard Jay Oppa’s voice, I then told her
the full story of my half brothers while I laid back on the bed, snuggling to Jay
Oppa. He smells so nice.

“WOAH. ALEXIA PARK! YOUR BROTHERS ARE THE MEMBERS OF THE MOST FAMOUS KPOP BANDS?!
MAN! YOU HAVE SUCH A GOOD LIFE!”

I pulled my phone away from my ear as Jean started screaming once again. Seeing my
actions, Jay Oppa chuckled. I rolled my eyes as I mouthed the word ‘Bestie’. He got
the hint and laughed even harder.

“Calm down, girl. Since I have such a good life, as my bestie, want to have some of
it?” I offered, knowing she would agree immediately.

“Yes! You do mean that I can go for a visit right?” Jean asked, with a hint of
doubt and hope.

“Yeah babe. But, hold on for a moment, I’ll ask someone first whom I’m pretty sure
will say yes. Hold on.” I press the button, putting Jean on hold while I spoke to
Jay Oppa.

“Oppa, my best friend can come for a visit right?” I asked, knowing fully that he
had overheard our conversation.

“Yeah sure. She’s not a stalker or some crazy fan right?” He asked, eyes twinkling
with teasing.

“Oppa! Of course not!” I rebutted, hitting his shoulders playfully.

Then, I put Jean back and told her the good news. She said she would come in about
a few days time, but, her visit might be a very short one. It might only last for
one day. It all depends on her parents. I had agreed. I don’t care, I just wanted
to see my best friend. Or rather, someone who’s not a celebrity.

After hanging up on her, my sleepiness caught on to me again and I found myself

yawning as I hugged my pillow. I guess Jay Oppa noticed this as he put his arms
around me and gently asked me to go back to sleep.

I only nodded as darkness took over and I snuggled closer to Jay Oppa, falling
asleep in his warm hold.

32.Heart to Heart Talk with Shindong Oppa

Chapter 32

[No one’s POV]

The clock struck 12 and once again, Hyunmi found herself unable to fall sleep. This
time, she decided to go to the kitchen to drink some water, hoping that it’ll help
her in falling asleep.

Upon reaching the kitchen, she saw that the kitchen was lighted up and there was a
silhouette standing by the kitchen table.

“Excuse me?” Hyunmi called out.

The person turned about and Hyunmi found herself face to face with Super Junior’s
Shindong.

“Oh, Hyunmi ah.” Shindong was clearly surprised to find the younger girl in the
kitchen at such a late timing.

“Oppa.” Hyunmi greeted as she went nearer to the older man to get a glass of water
in the jug beside him.

Seeing her actions, Shindong immediately knew that she too was unable to fall
asleep because he himself was about to do the exact same thing when Hyunmi had
arrived. Shindong had found himself unable to fall asleep tonight, which wasn’t an
abnormal thing. He often gets insomnia when he overworks himself.

It might have been that he had been practicing too hard with Eunhyuk, Donghae,
Kyuhyun and Sungmin for the upcoming SM Town Concert in Los Angeles. Well, there
wasn’t much of an option, heck make it no options. Shindong didn’t have any say in
practicing since the concert was in about 2 days time. The whole SM Family was
leaving for Los Angeles tomorrow so as to have practice time on the stage in Los
Angeles.

“Pour a cup for me too, will you?” SHindong asked Hyunmi who obliged and then
brought them to the coffee table.

As the two settled down in their seats, Shindong started the conversation.

“You can’t sleep either?” The sentence had Hyunmi nodding her head with a slight
pout.

“You too, Oppa?” She in turn, returned his question.

“Yeah, probably too much practice for the upcoming concert.” Shindong smiled
tiredly.

“Poor Oppa. Hwaiting!” Hyunmi cheered as she held up a fist.

Shindong bumped her fist and lightly chuckled at the younger girl’s enthusiasm.

“What about you? You don’t have practice. After living with 14 guys for so many
years, you most probably are having some problems aren’t you? Want to talk to me
about it?” Shindong suggested, his tone and facial expressions turning serious.

Up till now, Hyunmi hadn’t realized why she wasn’t able to sleep. But, thinking
back, whenever she couldn’t sleep in the past, it has almost always been about her
having problems and her dad would be there to solve them for her. It was almost the
same except that it was Shindong offering her help instead.

“You really want to listen?” Hyunmi asked, in doubt. It wasn’t often for her that
people cared for her that much.

“Go on.” Shindong encouraged. He didn’t know a thing about Hyunmi’s past nor did he
have any idea of what her problems might be. But, one thing was for sure, that girl
seems to have a bad past. It might have been oblivious to the others but he could
sense it somehow that the younger girl didn’t have enough love as she was supposed
to get.

Taking in a deep breath, Hyunmi started talking.

“Ever since I came to Korea, everything has been a new adventure. 46 guys I’ve
never known till now suddenly came into my life. But, I wasn’t sad or anything just
unprepared. They gave me such a warm feeling I never had before. A very family
feeling. In the past, even though I had a mom, it had just been me and dad.
I’m not saying that dad wasn’t a good to me, but it was just that there was never a
feeling of family. Yes, I had a complete family with my mom and dad but it was like
mom was never there. She was just a person I knew, a stranger. There was never a
complete kind of feeling. But with you guys, I felt complete. It was like enough.

No one is a woman, but, yet, Jungsoo and Key Oppa made me experience what it feels
like to have a mother.

When everyone knew about the Yoona incident, they showed so much care and concern
towards me. Something that I never had enough of…”

At this point, Hyunmi stopped herself. She didn’t know if she could tell her past
to someone that easily. But looking into Shindong’s eyes, she knew she could. There
was trust, concern and worries for her in his eyes. And, so, she continued.

“I know I might be greedy for wanting more care and concern when I should have just
been content with Dad’s love for me. But, perhaps it was because of the fact that
my mother was never there, I craved for even more love.

Since young, I had to learn the hard way that not everybody loves me for who I am.
Because my mother didn’t care for me, I turned my attention to friendship. I made
many friends whom I thought were nice and good to me for who I am and to only find
out that they were only after my dad’s fame and money.

Even though I had been hurt time again and again, I still continue to believe in
love and friendship. And, finally, I found people whom I thought loved me. Dad
loved me, I knew that. But, he had to travel constantly and when I started growing
up, I couldn’t tag along every single time so I put all my energy and love in
friendship.

I made three very good friends, Jean, Kelly and Sharon. Out of them three, I used
to be closest with Sharon. A year back, I had a boyfriend, Michael. I liked him a
lot and thought he did too.

That was until I got betrayed.

I never saw it coming. I never suspected anything. I never thought I would get
betrayed by love and friendship both at once.

On a Monday morning, I went to school earlier, planning to surprise my boyfriend

who often arrived in school early. But, I got shocked instead. I saw him and Sharon
kissing. I heard him telling her that he never liked me and was just using me to
get close to her. And, she too said the same things.

My world came crashing down. My best friend and my boyfriend being together. I
found myself being used once again for the purpose of others.”

Hyunmi then stopped short as she looked into Shindong’s warm eyes with hers
brimming with tears.

“And that’s why, I’m really grateful to all the Oppas. Because I know you aren’t
using me and you really care about me. I don’t know if I’m just naïve or what, but,
I’m just going to trust my instinct once again to believe that there are actually
people who care and love me for who I am. I can trust Oppas right?”

The very last sentence Hyunmi said before breaking down had pained Shindong’s
heart. He quickly gathered her in his arms and patted her back soothingly.

Hyunmi was a mere 17 year old girl. She didn’t deserve to have people using her to
get to her dad nor having her best friend betraying her. People were supposed to
befriend her because of who she is and her best friend was supposed to be there for
her when her boyfriend abandoned her.

A mere 17 year old girl shouldn’t have to know the realistic world till much older.
She shouldn’t have to grow up knowing that her mom didn’t care about her. She
shouldn’t have to grow up in such a realistic world. She shouldn’t have to have
hurt herself because she needed the love and care everyone has easily.

There were so many things that she shouldn’t have to go through at her age but yet,
she went through all of them and is still able to smile brightly. She was still
putting others in front of herself and rather gets hurt alone than asking for help.

“It’s going to be okay. Hyunmi, you can trust us. I promise, no one and no one in
this household of 45 guys will hurt you. Everyone loves you because you’re Park
Hyunmi, the dongsaeng that cares for everyone and thinks of everyone before
herself. So, don’t go having all those thoughts anymore alright?”

Shindong whispered as he continued patting Hyunmi’s back.

“Thank you Oppa. Really, thank you so much.” There was nothing Hyunmi could do
except thanking Shindong because she was really grateful.

“Don’t say that. C’mon, let’s get you to bed.” Shindong said as he lifted the
younger girl into his arms and proceeded up the stairs.

Oh Shindong, how wrong could you have been about no one hurting her.

33.TKL

Chapter 33

[Hyunmi’s POV]

I blew a raspberry and sighed for the umpteenth time. The Oppas were all out for
their schedules and there was no one to keep me company. The Shinee and Super
Junior Oppas went for SMTown in Los Angeles early this morning. The rest of the
Oppas had gone out for their individual schedules which lead to me being alone at
home.

I would go out for a walk, but, I was too tired and lazy for that. I just want
someone to accompany me. Even lying down on the bed and talking about random things
seems awesome to me right now.

Knowing that sighing and staying cooped up in my room wasn’t going to do me any
good, I decided to go to the kitchen to find something to eat so that I won’t be
that bored.

I was humming a song as I waited for my ramen to be cooked when someone came into
the kitchen, surprising me.

“Oh, Jiyong Oppa!”

Jiyong Oppa smiled and eyed my ramen,

“Can I have one ramen too?” He asked.

“Of course, Oppa.” I said, reaching for the shelves to take another packet of
ramen.

But, I couldn’t reach it. First of all, the shelf was abit too high for my height
and secondly, the ramen packet I took just now was right in the front while this
one was somewhere at the back.

I wiggled my fingers and jumped, trying to reach for it. I heard Jiyong Oppa
chuckled before a body was pressed up on my back. A hand reached out and pushed
mine down, reaching for the ramen easily.

Jiyong Oppa’s breath tickled my ear as he said, “Here”. My cheeks turned pink as I
realized that his chest was pressed up on my back.

I quickly slipped out of that awkward situation and moved towards the stove,
scooping my ramen out and putting Jiyong Oppa’s ramen in.

I fanned myself thinking of the situation just now and my heart was beating
rapidly. I heard Jiyong Oppa chuckled once more and pretend to be focused on
cooking the ramen.

Just then, a thought entered my mind and momentarily, I forgot about the awkward
situation just now.

“Oppa, why are you still here? Aren’t you supposed to be at your schedule?” I
asked.

“I am at my schedule.” Jiyong Oppa answered, making me more confused than before.

“Huh?” I blurted out.

“My schedule for today is song writing. Teddy Hyung wanted to see if I had made any
improvements over the past month. I was practicing in the music studio on the first
floor.” He explained with a shrug.

“No wonder I didn’t see you just now. I thought everyone went out for schedules.” I
pouted as I scooped the cooked ramen into a bowl.

Jiyong Oppa came over and took his bowl of ramen.

“Want to come see me work?” He suggested with a smile on his face.

My eyes lit up upon his suggestion and I immediately nodded my head furiously,
picking up my bowl of ramen and following him into the room.

A gasp escaped my lips as I entered the room. It was totally cool, like the music
studios you see on TV but it’s even better seeing it real life.
“C’mon, you can sit on the sofa and eat your ramen there.” Jiyong Oppa pointed to
the couch, motioning for me to sit there where he sat on the desk chair, and faced
the computer.

We both ate our ramen in silence, him focusing on his work, eating only when he
felt like it; while my whole attention was on my ramen.

As I finished up the last of my ramen, I started feeling bored again. I pouted

while looking around for something to play with.

“Oppa~” I called in a sing-song voice.

“Hmm?” He responded, half heartedly.

“I’m bored.” I puffed my cheeks.

[No One’s POV]

Jiyong remained silent for awhile before coming to a decision. He had always put
his work at first place. He was always focused when it comes to songwriting and
hated distractions. He wondered for a moment if it was a mistake to let Hyunmi in
but quickly dismissed that thought.

Somehow, there was something about this girl that made softened him.

“Come here.” Jiyong spun around and smiled at the younger girl.

As Hyunmi made her way to Jiyong, the man pulled another chair to the spot beside
him and asked Hyunmi to sit down. After the younger lady sat down, he put another
pair of headphones on the girl who stared confused at him.

Jiyong just smiled and went back to his work. Pushing a few buttons on the computer
and after a few clicks, a song played and travelled through both their headphones.

“Wow.” Hyunmi’s face turn into delight hearing Jiyong’s self written music piece.

“Oppa! You’re so good at song writing!” Hyunmi complimented the older man who
smiled in return.

The song ended and Jiyong went back to mixing tracks, editing parts after parts to
make the perfect tune. His face turned into a serious expression as he tried mixing
tune after tune.

Having nothing to do, Hyunmi took the time to observe his facial expression.

‘Jiyong Oppa is really handsome. He looks so handsome when he’s serious.’

Her gaze trailed down from his hair to his lips, never missing any spot. But, when
she reached his lips, her heart suddenly started beating furiously like when the
awkward incident happened just now. Hyunmi had a sudden urge to touch Jiyong’s lips
and couldn’t help but wondered how his lips felt like.

‘They looked so soft and… kissable…’

The word ‘kissable’ popped into her head and Hyunmi snapped back into her reality,
shaking her head as if she was shaking the thoughts away. Pink crept onto her
cheeks and she felt herself blushing madly. Embarrassed by her thoughts, Hyunmi
looked away from Jiyong’s direction, fanning herself.
She then spied the room in front of her, the one where singers record their songs.
It was separated by a glass panel and there were microphones inside. Hyunmi took
off her headphone and slowly but quietly entered the room.

Jiyong was so engrossed in his work that he didn’t even notice the younger girl was
standing right in front of him, only they were separated by a glass panel.

Hyunmi saw a piece of paper on the music sheet stand and realized that it was the
lyric sheet for the song Jiyong was composing now. She took it up and read the
lyrics, humming to the tune she heard awhile ago.

She then picked up the headphones and put them on her head, pretending to be a
singer. On the piece of paper, there were parts highlighted in yellow which was
meant for a girl to sing. Reading the lyrics once more, Hyunmi tried singing the
highlighted lyrics.

Done with editing, Jiyong pressed the ‘play’ button and music flooded into both the
rooms Jiyong and Hyunmi were in.

As the music started, Jiyong closed his eyes to enjoy his piece of music. While on
the other hand, Hyunmi started rapping to the song with a shaky voice.

Jiyong opened his eyes with a start as he stared at the young lady in front of him,
rapping to his newest song.

Let's go you ain't got a girl right now

Well cuz you ain't got no gain (i know)
i'm show you how to do it gd style (he's write it down)
Here 's some rules though,
One, Put on nice
Two, Don't be nervous
Three, Just be yourself (Yeah-p) Follow me now
He just wanna be rap star vita?

Hyunmi continued rapping, totally unaware that Jiyong was watching her every move
intently. While singing, the younger girl had added her moves to the song, and as
far as Jiyong was concerned, it was totally cute.

He just wanna be rap star vita?

Put your hat lightly on your head and pull your pants down as hard as you can
White shoes and shining necklace (bling!)
When you walk follow the rhythm too
And have a tough expression
Mic in left hand, boombox in right, if you're bored beatbox

Yeah cute nice and cool, now say nice to meet you to that hip girl
But she's looking at you weird with your way man I told you (oh no)
It's sense-able, even though you did well, you can still tell
But a way to get another chance so hollaback yo

As the chorus arrived, Hyunmi started singing in her melodious voice and Jiyong’s
heart started beating hard and fast.

Hello sexy guy or hello handsome boy

Hello Hello I'll talk to you first
Hello powerful girl hello cute girl hello hello uh, excuse me
say hello

Unable to stop himself as the chorus started to end, Jiyong got out of his seat and
went into the little room Hyunmi was in and picked up another headphones, and
started rapping his part.

She's wanna be, now kind of a hard date

Even if you sit still you have to take a picture
A little bit more chic, more sentimental (fashion)
Jeans and a white tee, fresh suit or maybe vintage
Whatever you wear, wear it with charm (kimchi *to smile in a picture*),
like you've worn it your whole life show like

Yeah cute nice and cool, you can do it too, you don't see that fool
That girl's looking at you too, she's catching a glimpse
A girl's pride is her high heels height
You go first carefully
Your eyes are sleepy, drink something
Even a fun movie, say I go anywhere you go

Hyunmi stared wide eyed at the older man beside her as she had thought he was still
in his own little world of music making. She would have continued staring if not
for Jiyong nudging her to sing the girl’s part of the chorus.

Hello sexy guy or hello handsome boy

Hello Hello I'll talk to you first
Hello powerful girl hello cute girl hello hello uh, excuse me
say hello

Then the bridge came, where the two sang harmoniously, as if they had practiced for
a thousand times. They stared at each other as they sang their parts, eyes never
leaving each other for even a second.

H) excuse me G) me too, excuse me

H) I'm not a bad person G) The expression was probably just unpracticed
H) You're brave to come all the way to me, don't need to say goodbye
G) When I first saw you I'm falling in love with you girl

They repeated the chorus. Jiyong suddenly took Hyunmi’s hands in his as he sang the
short part. The younger girl was shocked but continued staring into his eyes.

La la la la la la La la la la la la La la la la la la
So So fresh what a Hello

The chorus was repeated once more before Jiyong ended the song with

La la la la la la La la la la la la La la la la la la

The song ended, but their gaze on each other held on. With their hands still
intertwined, Jiyong bended down and gave Hyunmi a small peck on the lips surprising
the younger girl.

But only one thing came into Hyunmi’s mind,

Jiyong’s lips were truly soft and totally kissable.

33.Phone Call with Cheondongie Oppa~

Chapter 34

[No One’s POV]

“Kya!~~~~”

A muffled high pitch voice filled up the little room of Hyunmi’s. Currently, the
young girl had her head buried in her pillow, screaming her lungs out.

Once she was done, she flipped around, hugging her bolster with her face burning
hot. Her hands flew to her cheeks as if trying to calm herself down though there
was no way Hyunmi was going to calm down anytime soon.

A moment later, her hands travelled down to her lips, touching it, remembering how
Jiyong’s lips felt against her own lips. Hyunmi then hugged her bolster even
tighter as she remembered the intimate moment with Jiyong.

It wasn’t her first kiss of course, but it was definitely an unforgettable one.

The surprised kiss had sent thrills down Hyunmi’s spine and she had enjoyed the
kiss while it lasted. She didn’t know if she liked Jiyong or not, but one thing was
for sure, she certainly saw fireworks in the sparks.

With a big smile plastered on her face, Hyunmi looked up to the ceiling, no longer
feeling bored. She could think about the kiss the whole day long and not feel bored
at all.

After the kiss, Hyunmi had dashed back into her room and not come out of it after
since.

The happiness is Hyunmi could not be contained and she found herself picking up her
phone on the nightstand. Scrolling through the contacts, she found the very person
she wanted to call.

“Yoboseyo?” The person answered.

“Cheondongie Oppa!” Hyunmi squealed.

“Omo! Minnie!” Cheondong replied, obviously pleased that Hyunmi had called him.

“Annyeong Oppa~ Did you miss me? Keke~” Hyunmi said, giggling.

“Of course I did!” Cheondong replied, putting a smile on the girl’s face. “Doesn’t
someone sound very happy now?” He asked, amused by the girl’s sudden call and her
good mood.

“Oppa! Am I that easy to read?” Hyunmi pouted, even though Cheondong couldn’t see
her.

“Duh. Who am I? I’m THE Thunder of THE Rain! THE Thunder of Hyunmi’s bestfriend!”
Cheondong teased, reminding Hyunmi of their first meeting.

“Oppa! Stop teasing me!” Hyunmi complained.

“Arraso~ Now, do you want to tell me about what made you so happy?”

“I… Erm… He… JiyongOppakissedmeonthelips!” Hesitating, Hyunmi whispered out the

happy incident quickly.

“Huh? What did you say? I heard something about Jiyong Hyung and lips?” Cheondong
asked, totally confused.

“I got kissed on the lips by Jiyong Oppa!” Hyunmi said, this time slower.

“WOAH! SAY WHAT?!” Cheondong shouted, making Hyunmi cringed as his loud voice
travelled through her small phone microphone.

“Oppa! Don’t shout, it hurts my ear.” Hyunmi said, rubbing her ears.

“Oops, my bad. Sorry. But, hyung really kissed you?” Cheondong asked, his eyes as
big as saucers.

“Yeah. I was singing in the studio with Oppa and when the song ended, he pecked me
on the lips.” Hyunmi replied, blushing furiously.

“No wonder you’re so happy…” Cheondong trailed off in his own train of thoughts.
“Should I kiss you next time too? To make you so happy?” He joked.

“Ew no thanks Oppa.” Hyunmi said, making a face.

“Just joking baby girl~ Now, you feel much better telling someone about the happy
news don’t you?” Cheondong asked.

“Of course. Gomawo Cheondongie Oppa! I love you! Saranghae!” Hyunmi cooed.

“Me too~ Love you baby girl~ I’ll talk to you next time, I got to go~ Byes~”

“Bye Oppa.”

And, with that the call ended, with Hyunmi lying on her bed in bliss while
Cheondong was a little troubled about the pass incident.

Hyunmi seemed to have some kind of feelings for Jiyong and that wasn’t exactly a
good thing, well, at least not for his leader. Shaking his head at the complicated
love matters, Cheondong then headed back to his practice.

Oh, Cheondong, you have no idea how right you are about the matter of hearts.

How complicated it is indeed.

34.What a Nice Surprise

Chapter 35

[No One’s POV]

“Hey baby~ I think I wanna marry you~”

‘Message has arrived~’

It was a bright afternoon, the day after the kissing incident. Hyunmi was in the
music studio playing around and singing Bruno Mars’ ‘Marry You’ when her phone
sounded, signaling that a message has arrived.

Stopping her singing midway, she went to check her phone and saw that Jiyong had
sent her a message.

To: Cutie Mimi

Come to my room now~ I have a surprise for you ;D

From: The most handsome and awesome Ji Oppa

Hyunmi giggled seeing how Jiyong addressed himself as she went out of the music
studio and headed towards the second floor. Humming another song of Bruno Mars, she
smiled, wondering what kind of surprise Jiyong could possibly have for her.

So far, the day had been a good one. In the morning, she was on the phone with the
SM family, talking to SNSD, Super Junior and Shinee. Then, she had received a call
from her best friend saying that she had reached Korea and was heading over to
Hyunmi’s house now.

As the two girls chatted, Hyunmi had told Jean about the kissing incident with
Jiyong before hanging up on each other.

Wanting to give Jiyong a surprise, Hyunmi didn’t knock on the door and just opened
it.

But, it turns out; the one having the surprise would be her.

She opened the door, only to find her best friend and Jiyong leaning against the
bed frame, kissing; body against body. Jean’s hands were wrapped around Jiyong’s
waist and Jiyong had his hands on the bed frame, supporting the both of them.

From Hyunmi’s sight of view, she could only see the side of Jean’s face and
Jiyong’s face was completely hidden. Jean had her eyes closed and was clearly
enjoying the kiss as a moan escaped her lips.

All this happened in the span of three seconds and within those three seconds,
Hyunmi’s pair of brown orbs was filled with tears which blurred her vision.

She quietly backed out from the room and closed the door without making any sound.

What she didn’t saw was the smirk on the face of her best friend and the horrified
expression of Jiyong.

All she saw and felt was the fact that she had been betrayed yet another time, by
her best friend. Jiyong wasn’t her boyfriend but Hyunmi had thought that the kiss
meant something to both of them. Seeing that scene, it seemed to her that she was
wrong about that very point.

As she slowly walked back to her room numbed from all the pain, only one thought
laid in her mind.

What a nice surprise that was.

36.Lady Luck is not on your side, Hyunmi

Chapter 36

[No One’s POV]

Leaving the heartbreaking scene, Hyunmi made her way back to her room, three doors
away while trying to calm herself down.

But, obviously it wasn’t going to be done anytime soon since Lady Luck is nowhere
near Hyunmi today.

As she neared her own room, she overheard a conservation coming from Nickhun’s
slightly ajar door.

She wouldn’t have cared about it, but her feet and heart stopped when she heard her
name.

“-Hyunmi?”

Hearing her name in a doubting tone almost had her answering the caller, but it
didn’t last long as the caller continued speaking.

“Aniya, Victoria ah, you know I like you the most. I don’t even like Hyunmi at all.
It’s all a misunderstanding. I was just kidding during the Truth or Dare Game. All
the Hyungs are there, you don’t want to see your Nampyeon get hurt right? Hmm?
Yeobo~”

As the caller spoke, Hyunmi recognized the voice to be Nickhun’s. Realization hit
her as she realized who he was speaking to. His virtual wife, Victoria of F(x).

As Nickhun’s aegyo filled voice continued talking to Victoria, Hyunmi’s heart only
broke more and more.

It was all a lie once again. Everything had always been a lie. Jiyong Oppa’s kiss
was a lie to lead me on, Nickhun Oppa’s answer was a lie to bluff all my Oppas. I
had been a fool again, to trust people. Park Hyunmi, why are you so stupid? I’m
such an idiot.

Tears fell as Hyunmi finally made it back to her room. She lay against the close
door and sank down as reality hit her once more.

She was betrayed yet again by her best friend. A guy she thought had liked her for
who she was was actually just lying about it.

She had been used once more.

She had been an idiot again.

What she had believed in was again a lie.

What she had thought was something turns out to be nothing.

What she had been so happy about turns into one of her worst nightmare.

‘Park Hyunmi, why are you such an idiot?’

Hyunmi’s question was only answered by the still air around her, reminding her of
the fact that she was alone again.

37.Rebelling doesn't feel so right this time

Chapter 38

[No One’s POV]

The door clicked open and there stood a young lady of seventeen though you couldn’t
possibly know that.

The young lady wore a simple black off shouldered sequins dress, making her look
sexy but elegant at the same time. The dress showed off her collarbone,
highlighting it with the silver sequins sewed at the neckline of the dress. The end
of the dress was cut off a little more after her bottom, making her seem more
elegant than like a slut.

On her feet was a pair of black boots high heels, reaching just above her ankle,
showing off her long legs. Her hair was let down in a wavy style, hiding her
shoulders making her as mysterious as ever. She had on no other accessories other
than a small bracelet on her wrist and her small black wristlet bag to hold her
necessities.

She had on some makeup, not too smoky nor too much; it was just right for her. The
faint blush highlighted her high cheekbones, the eye shadow made her eyes more
prominent, the lipstick added color to her usually pale lips and the lip gloss made
her lips more outstanding and kissable.

The sexy but elegant girl had a name, and it was Park Hyunmi.

As she descended down the stairs like a goddess, Nickhun and Jiyong, one wearing
his shoes while the other was watching the TV, couldn’t help but stare at the
younger girl’s dressing making her looked like a full grown woman.

“H-Hyunmi?” Jiyong whispered, trying to find his voice.

Putting on a sweet smile, Hyunmi replied sweetly to Jiyong but one could detect the
edge in her honey-like voice.

“Yes, Oppa?”

“Lexy? Where were you all afternoon? In your room? I couldn’t even find you? And,
where are you going dressed like this?”

Jean suddenly appeared behind her best friend and asked curiously.

Hearing the voice of the girl, Hyunmi had the sudden urge to slap her in the face
but of course, she didn’t.

“Oh, Jean! You arrived? I’m sorry I can’t keep you company, I’m going somewhere.”
Hyunmi said with slight traces of venom in her voice.

The moment Jean heard Hyunmi’s voice, she knew that Hyunmi had been heartbroken
over Jean’s kiss with Jiyong. Of course Jean would know since she had been Hyunmi’s
best friend before. She knew what she did was like history repeating itself, but,
who cares? After all, that was the goal Jean was aiming for, to hit Hyunmi in the
same place twice.

“Where are you going, dressed like this?” Nickhun asked, a little furious at how
sexy the younger girl was dressing.

Turning her attention away from Jean, Hyunmi turned to Nickhun with a smirk on her
face.

“Wae, Oppa? Worried about me? It’s okay, don’t need to fret over me. Please busy
yourself with Victoria-ssi.” Hyunmi surprised Nickhun with her 180 degree change in
her attitude.

Ignoring Nickhun’s surprise look, Hyunmi than turned to Jiyong and said to him in
an edgy voice.

“Oppa, you don’t need to fret too. Jean here will take care of you just fine. You
two have fun, I’m going now. Annyeong.”

With a little wave, Hyunmi disappeared out of the door, leaving two confused and
surprised man in the living room along with a smug Jean.

As she turned out of the door, Hyunmi’s smile disappeared and so did her edginess.

Once in a while, Hyunmi’s rebel side would act up and she would always dress up
like this, going into clubs to have fun, releasing her stress. Her rebel side only
came up when something hurts her deeply or that she was too stressed out. This
round, it was both the reasons, but, somehow, it didn’t feel so right this time.

Shaking her head at those thoughts, Hyunmi put on a smile as she entered the club
full of people and music.

Yes, she was only seventeen but she knew how to bribe her way through those
bodyguards and so, she got in without getting checked.

The very minute she entered, heads turned, mostly the males. Immune to the
attention she was getting, Hyunmi weaved herself through the throngs of people and
immediately went straight to the dance floor, showing off her dance moves.

Soon, many boys came up to her, grinding themselves against her, all trying to win
the attention of the sexy lady in front of them. Hyunmi continued dancing in the
mass crowd of people surrounding her, always managing to save herself before being
taken advantage of.

Awhile later, Hyunmi got tired and got off the dance floor, heading towards the bar
for a drink.

“One Virgin Mary please.” She told the bartender who nodded his head and went to
prepare a drink.

A man in his twenties then headed towards Hyunmi, trying to flirt with her.

“Not drinking alcohol?” The man asked, trying to get Hyunmi’s attention.

Suddenly, the club seemed way to noisy and crowded for Hyunmi’s liking and the
younger girl decided it was time to get out of there.

Her Virgin Mary came and she gulped it down, while putting the cash on the table.

“Sorry Mister, got to go.” Hyunmi politely told the man before losing herself in
the crowd, disappearing from the man’s sight.

The fresh air of Seoul greeted her as she stepped out of the club. It was actually
one of the rare times where she was still in her clear mind. Most of the times, she
would party till she drop and call her chauffeur to pick her up.

But, somehow, she didn’t have the mood to party away today.

As she sat down on a bench at the park, she sighed recalling the unpleasant
memories of her best friend kissing Jiyong.
Even though it was history on replay, somehow, it hurt more this time.

And, what’s worse was the fact that she was betrayed by someone whom she thought
would never ever hurt her.

Jean, who knew about her past and Jiyong whom she thought she had something with.

Hyunmi sighed once more and hugged herself tightly as a cold breeze travelled in
the night of Seoul.

The young girl was at loss of what to do.

Shindong wasn’t here to listen to her problems.

She couldn’t tell her Oppas because if she did, Nickhun and Jiyong might as well be
dead with their over protectiveness.

Clubbing didn’t help to make her problems go away either.

Telling MBLAQ or Teen Top equals making things worse.

Just then, an idea popped into her head and she quickly took out her phone and
dialed the number of the very person who could tell her what to do and give her
comfort.

Someone whom Hyunmi hasn’t known for long but was one of her good friends.

38.Her sadness, her pain, his anger and his care

Chapter 38

[No One’s POV]

In the bright morning of Los Angeles, there were two figures in the practice room
with loud music booming from the speakers in the room. The duo, a man and a lady,
were practicing hard in front of the mirror with the same choreography over and
over again.

Of course, the dance wasn’t a couple dance but instead a mass one. But, the other
part of the dance team had went out to buy some snacks, since the last time they
had breakfast was 3 hours ago. While the lady was too lazy to go and the other man
wanted to perfect his moves since he was one of the weaker ones among the group.

With each move the older man made, the lady tried her best to correct him, trying
to get him to perfect the move. The music track had been replayed, fast forwarded
and re-winded countless of times for the man to make the most of out the pointers
given by the Dancing Queen of the whole SM Entertainment.

The maknae of his own band was sweating bullets and so was the dancing queen, but
both never slowed down on the practice nor did they complain even once. The usual
cheeky and playful duo had serious expressions as they concentrated hard on the
dance.

Suddenly, the lady’s phone rang, breaking all their concentration. Betting that it
was one of her band members calling to tease her for something, she picked up the
phone, annoyed. The dancing queen hates it when someone interrupts her when she was
dancing; she was totally focused when it comes to dancing.

Though not complaining about the tough work, the older man was grateful for the
interruption since he needed a break from the continuous practice. He knew how his
dongsaeng could be when it came to dancing because his hyung had the same character
when they were practicing.

The older man turned down the music while gulping down his water furiously and
wiping his sweat at the same time.

“Yah, you guys, jinja! Don’t you know I was practicing with Kyu Oppa? What’s the
matter this time?” The lady chided lightly, thinking that it was one of her eight
sisters.

“Hyoyeon Unnie? Is it a bad time to call now?” A meek voice travelled from the
speaker of Hyoyeon’s phone.

Hearing and recognizing the slightly trembling voice, Hyoyeon’s face turned into a
mixture of surprise and confusion.

“Hyunmi?” The older lady questioned, wondering for a slight moment if it was really
Hyunmi.

“Neh, Unnie. Can you talk now? It’s okay if you can’t…”

Hyunmi’s voice trailed off as she realized the possibility that her closest unnie
might not be free right now. Her unnie’s annyoned tone right from the beginning had
already scared her a little. But, still she was hoping that her unnie would be able
to give her the comfort she needed.

On the other side of the world, Kyuhyun had almost spitted out his water, hearing
Hyunmi’s voice. Knowing the time difference between Seoul and Los Angeles, a HUGE
time difference of 16 hours, he couldn’t help but be worried about the fact that
the younger girl was calling at such a late timing in Korea.

He stood up and went over to Hyoyeon, motioning for the younger girl to turn on the
loud speaker while keeping Kyuhyun’s presence a secret. He was afraid that Hyunmi
might not be comfortable saying what she wanted to tell Hyoyeon in the first place.

“It’s okay, I can talk now.” Hyoyeon smiled, though the younger girl couldn’t have
possibly seen it.
“Unnie, I- I- I- He- Jean-“

Hyunmi stammered on her words, trying hard to find the correct words to tell
Hyoyeon what happened. The younger girl had planned on telling the matter the
moment they got past the ‘Hellos’ but somehow, hearing her unnie’s soothing voice,
Hyunmi found herself at lost for the right words.

The girl’s stammering had Hyoyeon knowing that something bad must have happened to
Hyunmi, and that, made Hyoyeon frowned. She cared for the young girl a lot and
treated her as her own younger sister. Knowing that she had been hurt once again,
it pained Hyoyeon a lot.

“Take your time. Tell Unnie what’s bothering you. Don’t keep it all to yourself.
Unnie will always be here for you.” Hyoyeon said gently, coaxing the younger girl
to say out her frustrations.

Tears poured out of the younger girl’s eyes even though she hadn’t even said
anything yet. It felt like Hyoyeon was by her side even though they were miles
apart from each other. Hyoyeon’s words reminded Hyunmi once more that she wasn’t
alone but instead, she had someone with her.

“U-Unnie, I-I- I had been an idiot again.”

With those words, Hyunmi finally poured out the whole story to Hyoyeon and well,,
Kyuhyun too, who was listening to their conversation without Hyunmi’s knowing.

As the truth came out one by one, Hyoyeon’s frowns became deeper and her heart
almost hit rock bottom. On the other hand, Kyuhyun’s fist clenched together
tightly, desperately wishing that he could fly back to Korea right now and give
Jiyong and Nickhun a taste of his fists.

“Unnie, what did I do wrong?” Finishing with her ‘story’, Hyunmi asked this
question that broke both the hearts of the duo on the other side of the world.

The younger girl had done nothing wrong but she had to bear all these hardships
again and again. Getting betrayed twice and what’s more, getting betrayed by the
very person who knew her weakest spot.

Both Hyoyeon and Kyuhyun wanted so much to kill Jean right now for hurting Hyunmi
like this, but none spoke about those stuff since they don’t want bring up the bad
stuff to hurt Hyunmi again. Instead, Hyoyeon tried her very best to comfort the
younger girl, while Kyuhyun tried his best to control his anger.

“Hyunmi, look sweetheart, you didn’t do anything wrong. It’s them who are in the
wrong, arraso? Don’t ever blame yourself for what happened. Promise Unnie this,
will you?” Hyoyeon paused, waiting for her words to sink in.

“I promise.” Hyunmi said weakly.

“That’s good, now baby girl, it’s very late in Korea, so please go home now. And,
be strong, Unnie will be back in Korea in a few more days. Hang on, alright?”
Hyoyeon said, trying to give the girl some strength.

“I don’t want to go back, Unnie… I don’t want to f-face th-them… I want-t to c-

continu-e t-talking to U-Un…” Before even continuing her sentence, Hyunmi fell
asleep, tired from all the crying and heartbreak.

“Hyunmi? Hyunmi! Don’t fall asleep now! Hyunmi! Wake up!” Worried for Hyunmi’s
safety, Hyoyeon started shouting into her phone, hoping the younger girl to wake
up.

Falling asleep in the park bench at 1am at night is certainly very dangerous for a
young girl like Hyunmi, rapists were everywhere, looking for their new prey, and
Hyunmi asleep out in the open is like sending the lamb straight into the lion’s
lair.

But, before Hyoyeon and Kyuhyun could get more worried for Hyunmi, someone picked
up Hyunmi’s phone and spoke into it.

“Hyoyeon Noona? Don’t worry, I got Hyunmi. I’m going to bring her home now.” The
voice said.

“____?” Hyoyeon asked, wondering if it was the person she thought it was.

“Neh, Noona, don’t worry. I’ll bring Hyunmi home safely. Annyeong.” The person then
hangs up the phone as he picked Hyunmi up bridal style, heading towards the main
road to call for a taxi.

Hyoyeon heaved a sigh of relief knowing that Hyunmi was safe. However, the same
couldn’t be said for the older man.

Knowing the fact that Hyunmi was safe wasn’t in the least satisfying to Kyuhyun, he
wanted so much to punch Jiyong and Nickhun for hurting Hyunmi but he couldn’t. So,
he took his anger out by smashing his fist onto the mirror of the practice room,
shocking Hyoyeon as glass fragments went flying towards every part of the room.

“Oppa….” Hyoyeon called out softly, shocked of her Oppa’s behavior.

“YAH! Cho Kyuhyun! What are you doing?!” Leeteuk shouted.

The moment Kyuhyun had smashed the mirror, the rest of the dance group came back
and they were stunned by Kyuhyun’s sudden hostility.

“Nothing, Hyung.” Kyuhyun growled, knowing that if he spilled everything out,

Jiyong and Nickhun would really be dead.

“Nothing happened. Kyuhyun Oppa is just…. Erm, upset with his lack of energy. Yup,
he’s just upset about that!” Hyoyeon said with an awkward smile, trying to cover up
for Kyuhyun’s actions.

The rest of the members were confused by Hyoyeon’s and Kyuhyun’s abnormal actions
but none commented seeing how bad the maknae mood was right now.

Still not able to calm down, Kyuhyun left the scene with a “Hyo, please clean that
up.” And another “I’ll pay for that.”, and slammed the door, puzzling the other
members who threw confused looks to Hyoyeon who just smiled awkwardly at them.
39.A simple reason that took me so long to understand

Chapter 39

[Hyunmi’s POV]

The sunlight shone through the window and I woke up, rubbing my eyes as I took in
my surroundings. I was back in my bedroom, but why? I vividly remembered talking to
Hyoyeon Unnie and falling asleep in the park.

Did I sleepwalk all the way back into my room?

Just then, I saw someone curled up on the small couch in my room. I went closer and
saw that it was Eli Oppa. What was he doing here?

Aigoo, just waking up and I have so many questions already.

I didn’t want to wake him up so I sneaked past him and went into the bathroom to
wash up. I was brushing my teeth halfway when I heard Eli Oppa calling me.

“O-oppar, I’m im har” I called out, replying to him with the toothbrush still in my
mouth.

I went back to brushing my teeth and heard some shuffling and rustling of blanket.
Rinsing my mouth of the toothpaste, Eli Oppa’s head popped into the bathroom with
his bed head. Motioning for him to get out, I then hurriedly wash my face and went
out thereafter.

Eli Oppa was lying on my bed, facing the ceiling when I went out of the bathroom. I
chuckled slightly before going beside him and jumping onto the bed. Sitting down
with my legs folded, I faced him and poked his hard tummy.

“Oppa~”

“Hmmm?” He asked, turning his head slightly to look at me.

“What are you doing in my room? Do you know how I came back home? And… do you know
about what happened yesterday?” All the questions I had in my head flew out of my
lips before I could even stop to think.

This time, Eli Oppa put his full attention on me and turned around, lying on one
side of his body, propping his arm under his head to support him. I stared
curiously at him as a playful grin formed on his lips.

“Let’s see… The part about Jean coming over? Or the part that Jiyong kissed you?
Maybe it’s KhunToria’s little not-so-quiet- conversation? Or is it talking to
Hyoyeon Noona who’s currently in Los Angeles? Which one of the stuff that happened
yesterday?” Eli Oppa turned serious and looked at me straight in the eyes, sitting
up fully.
At loss for words, I just stared at him. I wanted to ask him how he knew, wanted to
ask him how he felt about this. I wanted to ask him about a million and two things
but my mouth and throat just wouldn’t operate now.

Seeing that I was keeping quiet, Oppa continued.

“I got off schedule yesterday, coming back here, just in time to see a young little
lady of just seventeen, going out of the house in not so appropriate clothes. And,
so, I followed her, just in time to see and hear her heart breaking self and story.
Don’t we all know who the young lady is?” Eli Oppa said sternly, but somehow,
keeping a line of concern and worriedness in his eyes.

“O-Oppa…” I whispered head down, preparing myself to get scolded by him.

“Come here, you big pabo.”

Before I could even comprehend what had just happened, I felt myself in Eli Oppa’s
arms. It felt so nice to be in his hold and somehow, the scars caused by
yesterday’s incidents no longer hurt anymore. I thought I would cry or tears would
escape my swollen eyes, but, none did.

Lying on Oppa’s chest, I didn’t cry. In fact, I did the exact opposite of it.

I smiled.

“Oppa, I’m a big idiot aren’t I?” I asked, knowing that both he and I knew the
answer.

“You sure are, Park Hyunmi.” He then released me and knocked me lightly on the
head.

I grinned at him knowing fully that he knew how I feel now.

“I’m going back to my room and change, you too, change and Oppa will take you out
for breakfast alright?” Eli Oppa got off the bed and headed towards the door.

“Actually, you know what, Oppa. Let’s meet for lunch instead; I’ve got something I
need to figure out.” I told him before heading to the wardrobe to pick out
something to wear.

“Arraso, but be careful. I’ll go catch some sleep now~” Oppa said as he went out of
the door.

I smiled to myself as I head to the bathroom for a shower.

I’m going to set things straight now.

No more drama, no more misunderstandings.

I’ve had enough of them. I’m not going to be a coward anymore.

Why should I be a coward when I’ve a full family that loves me behind me,
supporting and caring for me?

As the water poured down from the shower head, I smiled once more.

Because I have finally figure out the reason for smiling and not just crying non-
stop.
The reason is simple and easy to comprehend but it takes one long enough to figure
out.

Never cry for those who don’t deserve your tears, cry only for those who deserve
it. Get out and get an explanation, not just cry and wallow in your misery, because
it hurts not only just you, but those who love you too.

And, because I have my Oppas and Unnies behind me, I won’t cry.

40.Setting things right with Jean

Chapter 40

[No One’s POV]

After coming out of the shower, Hyunmi then proceeded out of her room and went
knocking on the guest room’s door.

A moment later, her ex-best friend, Jean, appeared knowing fully why Hyunmi was
here but still she acted calm, appearing confused and concerned.

“Lexy? Are you okay? I saw Eli carrying you in last night, what happened? Did you
get knock out by some random guy” Jean smirked mentally, knowing how weak the girl
was when it comes to the matter of hearts.

“Why?” Hyunmi’s tone came out hard and strong but it contained no anger, just
disappointment and sadness.

That very one question had Jean losing her composure for a moment and that was when
she realized the changes in Hyunmi.

The once weak and fragile girl had matured into a strong, young lady.

The look of vulnerability in her big brown eyes had disappeared and was replaced
with determination.

Her posture made her stood tall and she actually looked intimidating with her
confidence.

Gone was the weak Hyunmi and in its place was one that was determined for answers.
And, that, just added to Jean’s already boiling temper.

“Why? WHY?! YOU DARE TO ASK ME WHY? HAVE YOU EVER STOP FOR A MOMENT TO LOOK AT
YOURSELF? IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT YOU, YOU AND YOU! YOU’RE ALWAYS USING YOUR
PITYNESS TO GET PEOPLE TO LIKE YOU! WHAT ABOUT ME?! I’VE ALWAYS BEEN LIVING UNDER
YOUR SHADOW! I’VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS! YOU RUINED MY ENTIRE LIFE AND I HATE YOU!”

Jean screamed with all her might, releasing all the bottled up feelings she had
been hiding for years. With dark piercing eyes, she glared at Hyunmi who seemed to
be deep in thoughts, absorbing all that her ex-best friend had just told her.

Jean smirked in triumph, thinking that she had finally won over Hyunmi. But, just
then, Hyunmi spoke and dashed all of Jean’s hope.

“You know what, Jean? You’re pathetic. I once looked up to you, to the girl who had
stood by me since forever. But, now you’re just merely another Sharon and Michael.
What was there to be jealous about for me? You had so many real friends and I can
barely find a few. My mom was just another stranger and your mom had been there for
you 24/7. Don’t be jealous of me; be content with what you have. It’s still not too
late for you to turn back now, don’t wait till you lose yourself, lose the person
with the personality I once looked up to. It had been nice to be friends with you,
Jean. And, now, it’s goodbye.”

As she said all of this, Hyunmi’s tears welled up in her eyes but she never let
them dropped. She looked straight into Jean’s eyes and hoped the girl will get what
she meant.

As she turned her back against Jean and walked in the opposite direction, leaving
the latter stunned with her response, a few tears slipped past the barrier she had
made up and dropped silently onto her cheeks.

They were tears of sadness but Hyunmi knew everything was going to be alright, for
what she had done was right.

41.His fury

Chapter 41
[No One’s POV]

Two days passed by, with Hyunmi avoiding both Jiyong and Nickkhun, who in turn had
no chance to clear the misunderstandings because of their schedules. Jean had went
back home out of her own accord, leaving no traces of her presence behind. She was
like a nightmare dream that had flashed by.

The time was now 2am in Korea, and Super Junior, along with Shinee, back from the
SMTown Concert in Los Angeles, were lugging their luggage, into back into their
respective rooms, trying to make as little noise as possible to those who were
still awake.

The moment Kyuhyun went into his room, his anger that he had managed to contain for
the past few days immediately flared up again. Putting down his suitcase, Kyuhyun
then went over to the bed Nickkhun was sleeping in and grabbed him by the collar,
pulling the still sleeping man up.

The moment the latter regained his conscience, Kyuhyun ignored the stares of his
Hankyung hyung and slammed a fist into Nickkhun’s pretty face.

Upon seeing his dongsaeng punch the visual of 2PM, Hankyung immediately grabbed
Kyuhyun’s arms, trying to stop the fight.

“Kyuhyun! Bouya!” Nickkhun shouted at his same year friend, unable to understand
why Kyuhyun was beating him in the middle of the night.

Nickkhun’s screaming woke Seungri and Soohyun up and soon, all five men of the room
were gathered together, trying to prevent Nickkhun and Kyuhyun from fighting.

“You still have the cheek to ask? You bastard!” Kyuhyun threw another punch towards
Nickkhun, ignoring the calls of his hyung and dongsaengs, only wanting to give
Nickkhun a lesson he’ll never forget.

“Hyung!” Soohyun shouted, supporting Nickkhun who was going to fall any moment due
to hard hits of Kyuhyun.

With Soohyun holding onto Nickkhun and Han Kyung hugging Kyuhyun tightly, Seungri
was about to go call up Leeteuk when a crystal clear voice called out to them.

“Oppa…”

Standing in the doorway was Hyunmi, her eyes opened wide. She had a hand covering
her mouth and was staring straight at Kyuhyun who had a fist up in the air, waiting
for the chance to punch Nickkhun.

With Hyunmi here, the other guys thought that Kyuhyun would at least have the
decency to not punch Nickkhun. And, so, they let go of each other, smiling
awkwardly at Hyunmi, trying to think of an excuse to cover up for Kyuhyun’s
mistake.

“Andwae!”

In a flash, Hyunmi had run to stand in front of Nickkhun, receiving the blow on her
stomach that was meant for the older man. No matter what Nickkhun had done to hurt
her in the past, Hyunmi couldn’t bring herself to see him get hurt and had instead,
took the blow for him.
When he saw Hyunmi, Kyuhyun’s anger rose even more as he was reminded of the fact
that Nickkhun had hurt the younger girl so much. The moment Hankyung had released
him, immediately, he charged towards Nickkhun, directing a blow to his stomach
while the others were preoccupied with the thoughts of excuses.

But, seeing Hyunmi received the blow instead, Kyuhyun stared at his fist in shock.
He couldn’t believe that he had hit the victim instead of the person who ought to
be punished.

Because of Kyuhyun’s anger, the punch was harder than expected.

Receiving the punch in the form of Kyuhyun’s enormous strength, Hyunmi doubled over
from the pain and almost fell. Luckily, before she could, Seungri had her in his
arms because of his fast reflexes.

The other four men crowded over Hyunmi, accessing her injury while Kyuhyun stood
there numbly, unable to believe the fact that he had hit Hyunmi.

Seeing Kyuhyun’s blank face, Nickkhun got mad and grabbed his friend’s shoulders,
shaking him hardly.

“Yah! What’s with you?! You can hit me but why did you hit her for?! Yah! Cho
Kyuhyun! Are you crazy?!” Nickkhun shouted at the man who had already lost his
mind.

Seeing the tensed situation, Hyunmi stood up with Seungri’s support and went over
to the two fighting men despite the protests of the other three men. With a weak
attempt, she tried to separate Nickkhun and Kyuhyun and succeeded because Nickkhun
stepped away immediately, seeing her in pain.

Kyuhyun remained silent and just looked at Hyunmi with concern and guilt.

“Hyunmi ah, are you okay?” Nickkhun asked, concerned.

“Oppa, I’m fine. Please go to bed, it’s late now and you have schedules tomorrow.
I’m borrowing Kyuhyun Oppa for the night. Good night.” Hyunmi said, bowing to them
despite the pain and grabbed Kyuhyun’s hand, pulling him out of the door.

Closing the door behind her, she left behind a few stunned looking men and a
confused Kyuhyun who was looking at her as Hyunmi tugged him along. As she reached
her room, she pushed Kyuhyun in and looked at him seriously.

“Oppa, sleep in my room tonight. Sleep away the anger. I don’t know what Nickkhun
Oppa did to you to make you so mad, but please try to reflect on what you did.
Violence is never the answer. I’ll be sleeping in the guest room tonight. Good
night.”

Hyunmi closed the door gently with Kyuhyun still looking at the closed door, trying
to process what had just happened. Sighing, he spun around and decided to take
Hyunmi’s advice about sleeping in her room tonight. She was right, violence isn’t
the answer, but he was, without any doubt, still going to do something to Jiyong
and Nickkhun.

Outside the door, Hyunmi was leaning against the door, panting heavily. The blow
that Kyuhyun had dealt out wasn’t a joke and it hurt like hell. After a few
minutes, she regained her composure and proceeded to the kitchen to get the first
aid kit. She was definitely having a bruise in the morning, so she might as well
apply some medicated oil now, which will hopefully help in making the injury less
painful.
What an eventful night.

42.Oh Shit.

Chapter 42

[Author’s POV]

In the bright early morning of Seoul, the Sun was hanging high up in the air and
shining brightly. It was around 7am in the morning and people swarmed the subways
and buses, wanting to get to their workplace as soon as possible.

The Sun shone through a panel of windows and the light landed on a young girl who
was sleeping on the kitchen table. Her shirt was hold up by her hand, revealing her
tummy where an ugly bruise was at. Beside her sleeping form was an open first-aid
kit and some unscrewed medication.

A young man by the name of Park Jungsoo, went into the kitchen, meaning to get some
coffee before waking his members up. But, instead, he received a great shock that
had him stunned for a moment. As a leader, he was observant and that particular
bruise that had formed on the stomach of his youngest sister did not escape his
hawk-like eyes.

“Morning Hyung.”

A voice shook the older man out of his trance, and Jungsoo turned to see one of his
younger dongsaeng, Doojoon, greeting him, still looking sleepy. The younger man was
rubbing his eyes and trying to make the sleepiness go away. Like his Hyung, Doojoon
came to grab a cup of coffee before doing the tiring job of waking up his
dongsaengs for their schedules.

“Morning Doojoon.”

Unlike the sleepy tone that Doojoon had used to greet Jungsoo, Doojoon noticed the
steel-like tone of his Hyung. That immediately got the younger man and in an
instance, he was by the side of his Hyung, asking if he was okay.

“Look for yourself, Doojoon.” The hard tone in Jungsoo’s words didn’t disappear but
instead, increased.

Doojoon’s head snapped to the direction that his Hyung was looking at and his eyes
widened upon seeing the huge bruise on the flat stomach of his sister.

“Hyung… How- Who- I- She-” Shocked, Doojoon couldn’t even think properly and was
stuttering his words upon the image.

“Good Morn-“

Just at the very moment, Cho Kyuhyun appeared behind the two respective leaders and
stopped his words short upon the sleeping Hyunmi and her bruising. ‘Shit’ was the
only thought that entered his head as his eyes was glued to Hyunmi’s tummy.

The voices of the three men woke Hyunmi up and she sat up from the kitchen table,
looking around confused. Five seconds passed before the younger girl cleared her
head and realized why the men in front of her had such weird expressions on the
faces.

Jungsoo’s angry expression, Doojoon’s shocked and horrified expression and

Kyuhyun’s poker face.

Deciding not to put Kyuhyun in deep trouble, Hyunmi put a big smile on her face and
hurriedly threw everything back into the first-aid kit, shutting it tight. She then
faced the older men and greeted them cheerfully.

“Good Morning Oppas. Do you want some breakfast? I’ll make them now. Just sit down
and give me a minute.”

Without waiting for an answer, Hyunmi hopped of the stool, putting the first-aid
kit back and opening the fridge. She ran through the fridge, with her back facing
them, wanting to delay this for as long as possible.

“Oppa, what do you want for breakfast? Korean style or American style? Wait, the SM
Oppas came back from America yesterday so Korean breakfast it is then.”

Hyunmi tried to be as cheerful as possible and closed the fridge, going towards to
the cupboard. She then pulled out the Kimchi container and some bowls. While doing
all this, she was biting her lips, trying hard to keep a normal composure because
it was too silent behind her.

“What the hell happened to your stomach?”

Leeteuk’s harsh voice travelled to Hyunmi’s ears and she winced slightly at her
oldest brother’s tone. Trying to play it cool, Hyunmi put out the Kimchi and kept
the fear out of her voice as she spoke to her brother.

“Oh, my stomach? Waeyo Oppa? Nothing’s wrong. Oh, there is! I’m hungry. Aren’t you
hungry too, Oppas?”

Nervous, Hyunmi started blubbering, trying her very best to ignore the tension that
hung in the room.

But, it wasn’t going to happen.

In a flash, Leeteuk was by Hyunmi’s side and had grabbed hold of arm, spinning the
younger girl around. He looked her in the eyes and said in a dark, serious tone.

“What the hell happened to your stomach?”

Hyunmi gulped; she wanted to protect Kyuhyun, but Leeteuk’s glares were no joke.
With his piercing stares, Kyuhyun, who was behind watching the whole scene, felt
even guiltier.

The maknae of Super Junior was about to open his mouth to confess his doings and
saved Hyunmi’s butt when Jiyong came down the stairs, adding oil to the situation.

Lucky things come in ones, but unlucky stuff usually comes in doubles or sometimes
more.

Which was the exact case for Kyuhyun.

Because after Jiyong’s entrance, came the arrival of Nichkhun Horvejkul.

43.Lying or Telling the Truth?

Chapter 43

[Hyunmi’s POV]

Leeteuk Oppa’s eyes pierced through my own orbs, almost drowning me in his own
fury. Lying under the fury was a hint of worriedness and some hurt feelings. I bit
my lip, feeling as if Leeteuk Oppa was going to see through me any moment now.

I opened my mouth, but nothing would come out of it. And so, I closed them once
more, smacking my lips together, letting out a ‘hiss’ sound out of anxiety.

“Park Hyunmi.”

I flinched at the harsh and dark tone of Leeteuk Oppa. Nervous, my fingers started
rubbing against my palm, opening and closing my hand time and over again. The
wheels in my brain were turning furiously but I couldn’t think of anything that
will make Oppa believe that I ‘accidentally’ hurt myself.

“I-I-I I h-h-hit into the… cupboard! Hard!” I stuttered at the front then shouted
slightly, trying my best to make Leeteuk Oppa believe me.

“Hyunmi ah, how’s your stomach? Is it okay?”

Crap.

Just as soon as I finished my words, Nickkhun Oppa came over and asked me how I
was. Out of the corner of my eyes, I saw Leeteuk Oppa’s eyebrows furrowing.
Definitely not a good sign.

“You knew that she hurt her stomach?” Leeteuk Oppa asked, turning his attention
from me to Nickkhun Oppa.

“Um.. Right! Nickkhun Oppa was th-“

“Park Hyunmi, keep your mouth shut. I asked Nickkhun, not you.”

Before I could even complete my lie, Leeteuk Oppa shushed me without even looking
at me. The whole kitchen fell into silence. All eyes were Leeteuk and Nickkhun
Oppa, wanting to find out the truth.

I stared at Nickkhun Oppa when he glanced at me, pleading me with my eyes for him
to not tell Leeteuk Oppa the truth. Three seconds passed before he let out a sigh
and turned his sight of vision back to Leeteuk Oppa.

“She-“

44.Jibei Ga

Chapter 44

[Author’s POV]

“She got hurt because of me.”

It wasn’t a complete lie, for Hyunmi did take the punch meant for Nickkhun. But,
like the former, it wasn’t the complete truth either and Leeteuk wanted nothing but
the truth.

“How?” Though he slightly softened a little, Leeteuk’s was still as harsh and firm,
his wants for knowing the truth never backing down.

Once again, tension and anticipation filled the kitchen, awaiting Nickkhun’s
answer.

Seconds passed,

Tension rose,
Patience snapped.

“HOW?!”

Like the tension hanging on a string in the air, the volume in Leeteuk’s word
amplified. The oldest man was tired of repeating over and over again, his simple
question. He wanted an answer and no one was giving him one that could satisfy him.

We are all so similar yet so different.

No matter what we had done before to hurt someone deeply, in the end, it’s them who
we protect first rather than ourselves.

Nickkhun never once regretted his decision as a punch from Doojoon landed once his
stomach, the place Kyuhyun had missed the night before. His face remained the same
as his line of vision was stuck with Hyunmi’s, whose orbs were filled with tears.

The younger girl had thought Nickkhun would go along with her lie or just simply
tell the truth. But, Nickkhun did the unexpected, earning himself a punch from the
leader of Beast.

Consequences and explanations were long forgotten as Doojoon land a hard punch on
Nickkhun’s stomach. Anger filled him, but beyond the anger was the disappointment
in himself. He couldn’t believe how he let his sister get hurt again. Not hurt
physically but emotionally.

Doojoon saw the hurt reflected in Hyunmi’s eyes, something that had him knowing the
bruise on the stomach was not cause merely out of anger but out of something
emotional. He didn’t know what inflicted the pain and that point alone killed him.

After promising his own sister that he would try harder to be a better brother, he
failed almost immediately. He had let Hyunmi get hurt and feel alone, he had let
down his father. He wished he could punch the hell out of Nickkhun because it was
his fault, but he couldn’t. Because the one at fault wasn’t Nickkhun, but himself,
Yoon Doojoon.

Looking at the scene in front of her, Hyunmi’s heart broke. Once more, because of
her, fights happened. Those 45 guys were once on good terms and were Hyungs and
Dongsaengs to each other. But, ever since, she had appeared, more than often, she
saw herself being the core of the fights.

They were fighting because of her.

And, there was nothing she could do. She was at loss, not knowing what to do
anymore. Her whole body, every sense, every muscle was numb. She wanted so much to
shout, to run over to withdraw Doojoon’s arms, to make Leeteuk stop the fight; but
none of her muscles would cooperate with her.

It was as if time stopped.

But, it didn’t. All it took was a thumb wiping across Hyunmi’s left cheek to wake
her up from her trance. She looked up and saw Junhyung’s frowning face in front of
her, and realized that she had been crying.

Wordlessly, Junhyung gathered the broken girl in his arms and stroked her hair
comfortingly, whispering to her that everything will be okay.

Crying silently, Hyunmi knew what she had to do to stop all the problems once and
for all.
Jibei ga.

45.45 Guys vs 1 Girl, She lost.

Chapter 45

[Author’s POV]

The tears were flying, so were the limbs. The pair of hands was busy, starting from
throwing the suitcase onto the bed to throwing all the owner’s favourite clothes
into it. The pair of feet was busy too, running from one place to the other. The
tears weren’t busy but they were flying because the owner was too busy to wipe them
away.

Thoughts were running wild in the head of the particular owner.

‘Was this the right choice? By doing this, there will be lesser fights right? They
will be okay without me right, since they had lived without me for more than 20
years.’

But one thought stood out the most.

‘Just go home. Jibei ga.’

Throwing the last of the clothes in, the suitcase snapped shut and was placed on
the ground, the handle pulled up. The owner took one last look around the room and
sighed. There were good memories right in this room, things that wouldn’t be
forgotten.

‘After hanging up on her, my sleepiness caught on to me again and I found myself

yawning as I hugged my pillow. I guess Jay Oppa noticed this as he put his arms
around me and gently asked me to go back to sleep.

I only nodded as darkness took over and I snuggled closer to Jay Oppa, falling
asleep in his warm hold.’
‘After the kiss, Hyunmi had dashed back into her room and not come out of it after
since.

The happiness is Hyunmi could not be contained and she found herself picking up her
phone on the nightstand. Scrolling through the contacts, she found the very person
she wanted to call.

And, with that the call ended, with Hyunmi lying on her bed in bliss.’

And, of course, the bad memories.

‘With her last sentence, Yoona threw the bowl of porridge from Hyunmi’s hands and
lay down, turning her back against the poor girl.

What Yoona didn’t see was the porridge scalding Hyunmi’s hands. Yoona had let anger
take over her; she had failed to see Hyunmi’s hurt expressions and tears that were
threatening to fall.

Hyunmi hadn’t dare to let out a sound as the hot porridge met with her cold, pale
skin. She had been afraid of making the older girl even more angry. Yoon had hurt
the shattering of the bowl as it made contact with the floor, but, she had been too
upset to even care.

Suppressing her tears and pain, Hyunmi made her way to the bathroom and cleaned her
hands. She grabbed a cloth and started cleaning up the mess, picking up the glass
pieces. Yoona’s words had been stuck in Hyunmi’s head, like a song on repeat mode.
“Ouch!” Hyunmi winced softly as blood started flowing at the cut Hyunmi had made on
her right hand. She hadn’t been concentrating on picking up the glass but on
Yoona’s words.

Biting her lips, she hurriedly cleared up the mess, throwing the glass pieces into
the bin. She grabbed a hoodie and a handkerchief, tying the small cloth on to her
right hand before apologizing to Yoona and leaving the room.’

‘"YAH! YOU UNGRATEFUL BRAT!! OPEN UP THE DAMN DOOR!"

Heechul started shouting at the tinted glass door of the balcony, wanting Hyunmi to
open the door.

With just a door in between them, the difference in the atmosphere of both areas
was world apart. With Heechul, Yoona and the rest of the idols, everyone was fuming
for Hyunmi's unexplainable reaction. Heechul literally had steam coming out of his
ears; Yoona was standing beside her angry sunbae with an unreadable expression on
her face. While, on the other side of the door, Hyunmi got colder by the moment;
both physically and mentally. The cold night breeze of Seoul attacked Hyunmi like a
merciless monster; and her heart got heavier and colder as she heard what Heechul
had said.

Even though the night air was colder and had Hyunmi’s teeth chattering like crazy,
she made no move to open the door that separated them. Hyunmi’s back faced the
door; she didn’t want to see anyone of them. Unlike Heechul, Hyunmi could actually
see them if she turned and face the door. The balcony had two doors, both doors
were tinted on the outside, but the inside was clear and you could see what’s going
on on the other side. Hyunmi had closed only the first door, the one that was
closer to the bedroom, thus, blocking their view of her.’

Hot tears spilled down the cold cheeks as those memories came into mind. With no
doubt, the owner of this room was going to miss these house and those 45 guys. It
had only been a few months of their meeting but the attachment was already there.
They had taught her what love was, and what it was like to have a real family, a
complete one.

But, yet, all Hyunmi had brought to them was disaster, fights and dislike for each
other.

Deciding that she needed a few more moments before she could bring herself out of
the room and tell them that she was leaving, she went out of the room and into the
balcony. A small breeze blew by as if comforting her. For a moment, it felt like
her dad was there, right by her side.

Unlike air, the breeze was gone in a moment. However, it did put a smile on
Hyunmi’s face. The breeze reminded Hyunmi a lot of her late father. Someone who was
there at the right time, someone who brought a smile onto her face when she needed
it.

Taking in a deep breath, a thought flew into her head.

‘I’m going to the miss the Korea air.’

Her smile grew, remembering the first time she came into Korea, shouting an
‘Annyeonghasaeyo Korea’ which had earned her a few stares. Coming to Korea was one
thing she didn’t regret. The actual thing she regretted was causing a drift between
the 45 guys. That didn’t matter now, because after all, she was going back to where
she belonged, a place where she was the one troubled and tortured not here where
she troubled and tortured others.

“Hello, is this the Korea International Airlines? I would like to book the earliest
flight to New York. Yes, a one way flight. The earliest one is at 4pm? Okay, I’ll
take it. Any class will do. Charge it to this credit card please 1223 4556 7889
0110. And my passport number is 67883957. Thank you very much.”
“Hello, I would like to book a taxi. I need one in 5 minutes time, at the front of
Seocho 2-dong. Gamsahamita.”

Hanging up on the attendant, Hyunmi slipped on her white trench coat and put on a
pair of sunglasses to hide her puffy eyes and grabbed her sling bag and luggage.
Taking one last deep breath, she opened the door, revealing anxious faces.

Faces that had been there since she had run out of Junhyung’s hold and locked
herself in the room.

Faces that she was going to miss. A lot.

She looked around and saw that one face she wanted to say sorry to the most.

Her oldest brother, Park Jungsoo.

She knew how much he was going to blame himself for her leaving, but she had no
choice. Smiling though tears formed behind those sunglasses, Hyunmi turned and
faced Leeteuk, bowing 90 degrees while saying the words she had prepared the moment
she locked her bedroom door.

“Park Jungsoo-ssi. Thank you very much for taking care of me for this period of
time I was here. Thank you for teaching me what love is. Thank you for showing me
how a real family should be. Thank you for everything. Nickkhun-ssi was lying, he
didn’t hit me. I know that he said I was hurt because he hit me, but he didn’t. I
can’t tell you who hit me, but it’s not him. It was an accident. Thank you once
more for taking care of me, please take care of yourself and have more rest.”

Tears hit the ground as Hyunmi continued bowing. Emotions choked up at her throat
but she continued as she stood up and changed her direction before bowing back down
quickly. She didn’t want anyone to see her tears.

“Thank you everyone for all your care. I’m really grateful. I apologized for
causing all the fights and drifts between each and everyone of you, but, now that
I’m leaving, they’ll be gone. Please take care of all my brothers for me.
Especially Jungsoo-ssi. I’m really thankful, please take care of yourself,
everyone. Annyeonghi gyeseyo.”

With one last goodbye, she wiped away her tears and straightened back up, a smile
on her face. She knew they were shocked and stunned and she used that chance to
escape.

Pushing through the bodies covering the stairway, she hurriedly run down, knowing
she only had a minute before they recovered.

As the taxi start up, she heard the sound of footsteps going after her. She turned
to see TOP running after the taxi, begging for her to stop. Clenching her jaw
tight, she made the driver go faster and whispered one last word for her brother.

“Saranghae.”

The driver made a turn and she lost sight of her brother. Turning back, she faced
the windows and tears trailed down her cheeks. She knew clearly the very reason she
was leaving, she lost.

46.Too late

Chapter 46

[Author’s POV]

Across the marble floor, pairs of legs moved, some quickly, some slowly. There were
smiles on faces and tears on some. Luggage of each colour and size were present,
some being tugged along while others were situated on the floor by the side of the
owners.

Sitting by the side of a window in Starbucks, was a young lady of 17. She was
looking out of the window, gazing at the passerby. She liked people-watching, there
was much to observe when it comes to people. They never failed to amaze her with
their actions.

Her lips curved into a smile as she saw a mother hugging her daughter and the
younger sister of four years was jumping up and down by the side, wanting to join
in the hug. It was moments like this where she wished so much to have a family.

Shaking away those thoughts, she turned her attention back to her latte. A sad
smile appeared on her face as she spied her phone. It had been buzzing every single
second; her inbox was spammed with unread messages while her missed calls were
piling up.
She knew who they were from, but there was nowhere she was going to pick up the
calls or reply to any messages. Her phone vibrated once more and she saw a message
from a new number that hadn’t appeared for the past hours.

Mickey Mouse.

Moments later, another message appeared.

THE Thunder.

She sipped her latte as sadness filled her eyes. Seeing their messages, she knew
they had seen the letter and that in a matter of moments, the other 9 guys were
going to be sending their own messages too.

Incoming message.

Seungho Oppa.

Blur Oppa.

Chanhee Umma.

Jung Umma.

Stalker Oppa.

Cap Launter.

Adorable Ricky.

Daniel Oppa.

True enough; 3 minutes later, her inbox was filled with 9 more messages from each
respective member. She didn’t even have to open them to know what the messages
would say. She knew what it was like from the past hundreds of messages she had
received in the past hour.

‘You’re joking right?’

‘Please don’t go.’

‘It’s not funny.’

‘Hyunmi ah, come back.’

They were all similar but what had hurt her most were the messages from the people
who could actually understand what she was thinking of.

‘Hyunmi ah, it’s not what you think. I know that you think that you’re the cause of
our arguments and that they all started because of you. It’s not like that. I know
why you want to leave, but please, think again. Your Oppas are going to be really
hurt if you leave.

-Taeyang.’

That message from Taeyang really had her at her wits end. She was at lost; she
almost wanted to reply and said she was going to go back right now. But, she
realized, she couldn’t back out now. She knew very clearly it was going to be the
same situation even if she doesn’t leave.

Finishing up the last drop of her latte, she picked up her abandoned phone and
opened Changjo’s message, knowing it was going to be as she had predicted. She knew
he was going to make her question herself and try to make her do the right decision
but at the same time, tell her he was behind her no matter what she did.

‘Babo, why are you being like this again? Are you really going to run away again?
Is this really the ‘right’ way to solve the problems? Park Hyunmi, you know it
isn’t. I bet you already knew what I was going to say; but, I’m still going to
repeat my words. No matter what you want, I’ll always be there to support you.
Don’t worry about falling, even if you fall, Choi Jonghyun will be there to catch
you. I love you.’

[Hyunmi’s POV]

I swallowed the lump in my throat and clutched my phone at my chest with closed
eyes. He did it again, reading the message with my eyes was so different from
imagining it even though they were of the same content.

Choi Jonghyun is making me doubt my choice again.

He always had the power to do it. Even within a short amount of time, he could
change my choice into a completely opposite one. He had made me doubt myself again
and again, but whenever I changed my answer, it had always been proven to be the
right one.

He’d probably be right this time round too.

But, this doesn’t just concern my happiness; it concerns those of the Oppas too.
How could I just tug at their heartstrings and just come and go as I like? There
would be too cruel and besides, going back would just cause another heartbreak to
occur and more to come in the future. I can’t do that.

No, just no.

Looking at the new messages from MBLAQ and Teen Top almost made me regret passing
their letter to the security guard. The silly me had went to a café at Apujeong
Dong, near MBLAQ’s dorm and I wrote them each a letter there. I don’t know what
came over me but I had felt the need to write them a letter to tell them about my
departure. After writing those letters, I had passed them to the individual
security guards of their dorms and company’s buildings.

That was how I spent my whole morning and now, after lunch at the area near TOP
Media’s Company, I had come to the airport and spent my time at this little café
inside the airport. I looked at the time and went out of the café.

It was already 3PM, one hour left till my plane takes off back… home.

Smiling weakly, I headed towards the departure gate. A small voice tugged at my
heart, urging me to not go. It told me to stay, to not make the wrong decision, to
be wise for once. Caught up with that little voice, I stopped completely, turning
my back against the gate.

I stared out at the oceans of people in front of me and realized how small I was. I
was just someone in the middle of the airport, someone who didn’t matter. If you
saw me, you won’t even know the pain I was facing. I was just insignificant.

I saw people being embraced and embracing others. I wanted so much to be the former
one; I wish I could be embraced by someone right now. All of a sudden, it hurts so
much. I didn’t want to carry everything by myself, it was too heavy, and the burden
was suffocating me.

But, I couldn’t allow myself to hurt others.

No, I can’t.

And just because of that, I spun around once more and headed once more for the
gates, determined to reach it before I had any chance of changing my mind.

“Jibei Gajima Baby~”

I stopped short as G-Dragon’s singing voice travelled to my ears. My hope ran high
as I thought he might be just here at the airport, looking for me, asking me to not
go. A smile played at my lips but disappeared as soon as I knew I was being dumb.

A lady passed by me with her phone in her hands and pressed the answer button
before answering her call with a ‘Yoboseyo?’. She had GD&TOP’s Don’t go home as her
ringtone.

I mentally knock myself on the head. What had I been expecting? It was my decision
to go so why am I being so delusional? Why would the G-Dragon who had… kissed my
ex-bestfriend suddenly appear to ask me to not go? Why would he, the ever famous
singer come to the airport with the risk of being mobbed by fans just to ask me to
not go?

Throwing away all the stupid thoughts, I continued walking to the gate as if
nothing had happened.

‘Jibei Gajima Baby~ Oneureun jibei gajima baby~’

I scoffed, this time hearing TOP’s voice singing instead. Geez, isn’t there any
other song other than their songs? And, did TOP even sing for that song? That
person sure is lucky to hear TOP singing for that song. I hurried my footsteps, not
wanting to hear their voices.

But, as luck would have it, another song travelled into my ears with Onew’s voice.

‘Andwaeyo andwaeyo geureoke gajimayo’

‘Oh, oh, oh, oh, I want you, come back girl. Without you, girl’

‘Only you niga anim nal gochil su eobseo’

‘Tell me I can go go go neoegero dasi you you you’

‘Han buhn, nal dorabwa nuhmoo muhlji anheun gose’

At the last sentence, I turned back. It was impossible for the people passing by
to have the ringtones of the same meaning at the same time, and sung by all six of
them.

TOP, Onew, Alexander, Jay, Doojoon, Leeteuk.

My luggage fell from my hands, and landed with a thud on the ground. But, I
couldn’t hear anything or see anything apart from the sweet melody that had come
before from the lips of the guys in front of me.
They were here, all six of them.

With no disguises, whatsoever.

RUN! PARK HYUNMI RUN! YOU CAN’T BE SEEN WITH THEM. RUN!

For once, I obeyed the voice in my head. Picking up the luggage, I hurriedly turn
and ran from them. Tears trailed down my cheeks, but I didn’t stop, I couldn’t. If
I did stop, they would have the chance of bringing me back and if they did, their
career would be at risk.

No, it couldn’t happen.

“Please, don’t go.”

A voice called out to me just as a hand shot out and held on to my arm. Pulling me
back, I landed on a hard sturdy chest. Another hand snaked around my waist, and
secured me in position, with my back on the chest of the person.

“Hyunmi ah, please don’t go. Please.”

Something wet landed on the right side of my cheek and I realized he was crying. I
should have known that he was going to cry from his voice, I should have known from
the way he had been looking at me just now.

And, I should have run faster.

“Park Jungsoo-ssi, you have to let go of me.”

He didn’t loosen his hold.

“Stop acting so childishly.”

I knew my words hurt him as he released me from his hold. My heart squeezed at his
actions but it had to be done, or the consequences would be dire.

“Hyunmi ah, please don’t leave.”

Another voice, this time barely audible, called out to me. I bit my lips as I
ignored his plea and took another step forward. His whisper broke my heart, it was
filled with need. But, yet, all I did was to ignore it.

Mianhe, Jinki Oppa.

“You’re really leaving?”

It wasn’t a question of anger and doubt; it was one of hurt and sadness. One a
child asked his mother when he realized he wasn’t going to get the toy he wanted.
It was a question asked before the tears fall. It was a question a person who was
tough asked before he finally breaks down.

“Leave. Me. Alone.”

Mianhe Seunghyun Oppa.

Behind me, someone winced at my harsh words. I knew that sound anywhere, it was the
exact same sound he made when he found out I had cut my finger on our first
meeting. Except this time, it sounded so much more vulnerable and heart breaking.
It wasn’t just a simple wince from seeing your loved one hurt by a knife; but one
of being stabbed in the heart by your loved one.

Mianhe Xander Oppa.

I doubled my steps, only wanting to leave the heart-breaking scene. But, it wasn’t
going to be this simple. I heard the sound of rushing feet behind me, and moments
later, he appeared in front of me, hugging me tightly.

“Don’t go. If you leave, I can’t hold you like I used to.”

Using all my might and will power, I pushed him and his battered heart away,
stepping aside and walking past him. The one footstep I took was like my actions
that stepped on his heart. His heart was beyond hurt, I stepped on it, kicked it
before giving it one last blow by squashing it.

Mianhe Jaebum Oppa.

“We haven’t even had our sibling moment yet and now, you’re just leaving me
behind?”

He appeared in front of me and looked me in the eye. In his eyes were pleas, hurt,
unfairness and self-reproaching. He was the one I felt most sorry for, I hadn’t
even had the chance to know him better and now, I’m just leaving. But, it’ll also
be better that way, because I don’t have to worry about him missing me. He would
have… nothing of me to reminisce over.

Mianhe Doojoon Oppa.

I wanted to take another step forward, but before I could, he planted a kiss on my
forehead as his tears slid down and landed on my cheek. He let go and I was hugged
by Jaebum, who passed me on to Xander. He kissed me on the forehead before allowing
Seunghyun to hug me tightly. Jinki took me from Seunghyun’s arms and kissed me
lightly before I found myself being embraced by Jungsoo.

“Saranghae Park Jungsoo.”

“Saranghae Lee Jinki.”

“Saranghae Choi Seunghyun.”

“Saranghae Alexander Lee.”

“Saranghae Park Jaebum.”

“Saranghae Yoon Doojoon.”

After lightly kissing them on their cheeks, I smiled through my tears before
turning around.

It was too late.

The Start of Slower Updates + Other Important Stuff (My Readers, Please Read!)

Firstly, a Happy New Year to you guys! :D I hoped you guys have enjoyed your
christmas and New Year! ^^

However, as much as a new year is a happy news, I'm sorry to say that this isn't
good news. On the contary, this blog post carries bad news.

I mentioned in a blog a few weeks back that I would be having slower updates and
yes, as the title states, this is the start of it.

If you haven't read my previous blog post, it's fine, I'm going to re-explain the
whole thing again.

I'll be having a major exam at the end of this year and I'll have to give it my all
because due to some circumstances last year, let's just say, I was lucky that I
didn't get retain.

So starting from tomorrow -when school starts-, I'll be only using my laptop on
Friday nights and Saturdays, which means REALLY REALLY LESS updates. Sure, that
might be a suprise update sometimes but mostly, I'll be updating only once a month
as compared to my previous updates, this is going to be real slow.

I'll try my best to update more, but there are no promises. You might even have to
wait for 2 months for an update.

I'm currently working on 4-5 fics now and I've TONS of ideas I want to write about,
but those will have to wait till I finish my exams.

I'm hoping you guys will stay with me and don't abandon my fics, but in the case
that you don't like waiting, then I can only say, 'Goodbye' to you.

I know I haven't thank each and everyone of you yet, I swear I'm really trying to,
and I WILL do it. So, please give me sometimes. I keep my promises.

As for the replies that I usually do at the end of the chapters, I'm afriad I won't
be doing them anymore. I'm sorry for that, but I simply don't have enough time.

Also, I would like to address another issue.

Some of you have been asking me when I will be updating.

My reply is, PLEASE be patient with me. I have a life that is being a bitch to me
so my updates won't be as frequent. I WON'T be giving up ANY of my fics, but the
updates won't be as fast. I know you guys want to know what happen next, but please
be patient alright? I'll update when I can.

I'll still be online here on AFF to read my subscriptions, reply to wall post, etc.
Just no updates.

Thank you for taking your time to read this blog post and my fics. And, thanks for
putting up with this horrible author who has so much to improve on. I know my fics
aren't that great but still, thank you for reading, subscribing and commenting to
them. If anyone has any suggestions on how I can improve, do tell me.

Once again, a BIG THANK YOU TO EVERYONE! <3 *HUGS*
