CHAPTER 21
You want to stop your tears on falling but you can’t. *Why am I like this. Why it feels so hurt.* you thought.
Suddenly, you felt a light tap on your shoulder. You turns to your back to see Yunho. You then quickly look away to hide your tears.
“Don’t hide it. You can cry in front of me. Just cry of you want.” he said. You wiped your tears and turns to look at him again. You forced a smile, “I’m not crying okay. I just want to practice my acting skills.” you lied.
“You don’t need to hide it to me. I already saw what happened.” he said. You look at him surprised, “Y-You saw?” you gasped. He nodded, “Yes, I saw all of it. Even the time that Boa slapped you.” he said. “But how?” you asked.
“When Boa told us that he want to take some fresh air, I feel that she will do something bad to you that’s why I followed her. I can feel that she hate you and she will do anything just to hurt you.” he explained. You just lowered your head.
---
Jaejoong and Boa walks to the front door, panning to leave.
“Uh, hyung what happened to her?” Junsu asked. “Yes, why is she like that?” Changmin asked too.
“I’ll explain to all of you tomorrow. Now, I need to take her home.” Jaejoong replied. “How about your girlfriend?” Junsu asked. “Just take her home.” Jaejoong replied.
“What?! She’s your girlfriend so why do I need to take her home?” Junsu asked. “It’s a favor so please to it for me.” Jaejoong said and left with Boa.
“What’s happening? Why hyung with Boa now?” Changmin was confused. Junsu shook his head, “I don’t know.” he replied.
Suddenly you and Yunho went to the living room and also planning to leave.
“Eh? What happen to you noona? Why your eyes were red?” Changmin worriedly asked. You look away. “I’ll tell you later. I’m going to take her home now.” Yunho said to Changmin.
“Are you sure? I can take her home if you want.” Junsu offered. Yunho shook his head, “No. It’s okay. I can take care of her.” Yunho replied as Junsu nodded in understanding.
With that, you and Yunho left.
---
Jaejoong laid Boa to her bed as they reach her house. “Are you okay now?” he asked.
“Yes. Because you’re now here.” “What do you mean?” Jaejoong asked.
“Now, I can sure that you still love me.” she said. “What?!” he gasped.
“Because I’m the one that you believe not her. You didn’t even give her a time to explain. Now, I’m so happy that you’re here. I’m just wondering now if she’s really your girlfriend.” Boa said.
“Of course she is. Why?” “Because you’re noe on my side not her even though I slapprd her fir—” she accidentally said the truth. Jaejoong frowned, “What? What did you just said?” he asked.
“It’s nothing..” Boa said. “No! I heard what you said. You slapped her face first huh?!” Jaejoong yelled. “Okay. I admit I slapped her first but she also slapped me. She desrved what she got now.” Boa said.
Jaejoong shook his head in disappointment. “I should leave now.” he whispered as he stood up. Boa grabbed his wrist. “No. Please stay here .” she pleaded.
Jaejoong removed her hand from his wrist then left without saying a word.
Tears starting to fall from Boa’s eyes. *I won’t gave up that easily.* she said on her mind.
---
“So where’s your place?” Yunho asked as you two went inside the car. “I don’t want to go home already. Just take to some other place.” you replied.
“Okay.” he replied as the car drove off.
Minutes later, the car stopped at the Lotte World. You two went out from the car. You bowed, “Thank you for taking me here. You can go now.” you said. He shook his head, “No. I’ll stay with you. I think you need some comfort from a friend..” he replied. You look at him surprised, “What?!” you waved yor hand, “No. There’s no need.” you said.
But he grabbed your wrist and dragged you to explore the Lotte World. You just followed him. You two stopped in front of the roller coaster. “Let’s ride that.” Yunho said. Your eyes widen, “What?!” you gasped.
“Let’s ride roller coaster.” he repeated.
You shook your head, “No. I can’t” you replied. “Wae?” “I’m scared in high.” you replied.
“Don’t worry, I’m here. Just hold my hand if you’re feeling scared.” he said as he pulled out his hand. You’re still on a doubt if you’re going to take his hand or not.
“Don’t be scared. It will be fun promise!” he said. You look up to see Yunho smiled brightly to you. You then nodded and took his hand.
When you two is in front of the seat, you swallowed hard before you sit there. As the roller coaster start to move, you quickly took his hand. You hold it tightly. Yunho look at you and smiled, “Don’t worry, you won’t be scared later if you continue holding my hand.” he said. You force a smile and nodded.
At the middle of the ride, you screamed so loud. Yunho giggled at your reaction. You hold his hand more tight than before, he then also hold your hand for you to calm. You look at him and smiled.
After a while, you now enjoyed the ride. You even giggling when the roller coaster is going down. *He’s right! I’m not scared now.* you brightly smiled at him as he smiled back.
As the ride was over, “That was fun!” you whispered. He smiled at you, “I told you.” he said as you giggled.
“You want to ride one more time?” he asked. You eagerly nodded. “Yeah!” you beamed.
You two then ride a roller coaster again. You more enjoyed it than before. You were screaming not because you’re scared just because you were happy.
As it was done, you two started to walk. “Did you enjoyed the ride?” he asked. You smiled brightly again to him, “I super duper enjoyed.” you replied.
“Yeah. Just continue smiling. You looks better now.” he commented. You nodded, “Thanks to you. If it is not because of you, I don’t think I will be happy like this.” you said. “Thank you for the amazing ride.” you added.
He smiled, “No problem.” You smiled back.
“Uh, ice cream!” you whispered as you saw an Ice Cream Shop. “Let’s go buy.” Yunho said. You smiled and nodded.
“Two ice cream please.” Yunho said to the counter. “Okay sir. Here.. Two ice cream.” the lady said.
Yunho took and paid it. He handed you one ice cream and you took it.
You two start to walk around while eating your ice cream. “Delicious?” he asked. You look at him and nodded.
As you two already finished the ice cream, you two went to the car to leave. “Thanks for comforting me. Thanks for making me happy now.” you whispered.
He look at you and smiled. “I’m glad that you’re happy now.” he said as the car drove off.
---
Jaejoong were waiting for you in front of your apartment. He already rand your door bell so many times but yhere was no response. *Did she already home?* he thought.
*Aish! Where is she? Did Junsu take her home?* he search for his phone on his pocket, plannig to make a phone call to Junsu but he left it at Junsu’s vacation house.
Suddenly, a car stopped in front of the apartment. You and Yunho went out. He walks you in front of your house. You happily chatting with him when you noticed a familiar figure standing at your front door.
“Jaejoong?!” you gasped. Jaejoong gave Yunho a look.
“What are you doing here?” you asked.
Jaejoong look at you, “Can we talk?” he asked. You look at Yunho, “You can go now.” “Are you sure?” Yunho asked.
You smiled at him, “Don’t worry. I’ll be fine.” you said. He then nodded and went to his car.
As the car already drove off, you look at Jaejoong. “If you want me to explain then sorry but I don’t you will believe me since you only believe Boa.” you said as you walk to the door.
Jaejoong grabbed your wrist, “No. I already know the truth.” he whispered. You look at him surprised. “Can we talk?” he asked. You want to talk with him but you remembered the hurt that you felt earlier just because of him.
You removed his hand from your wrist, “I’m sorry but I’m already tired and I don’t want to talk about it now. With that, you went in and shut the door.
Jaejoong sighed, *Aish! Why I didn’t gave her an opportunity to explain her side on the first place?* he then left.
CHAPTER 22
Morning came, your phone suddenly rang. You stretch your arms and yawned as you reach your phone from your side table.
When you take a look at your phone, you only see is ‘unknown caller ID’. *Eh? Who could it be?* you thought but you still answer it for you to sure.
“Yeoboseo?” you answered. “Good morning Hyerin-ah!” the other line said.
“Eh? Who is it?” you asked, irritated. “It’s me Yunho.” he replied.
You were shocked on his reply. *How did he know my number?... Uh, yeah. I remembered he asked my number last night.* you thought.
“Yeoboseo Hyerin-ah? Are you still there?” you heard the other line said. You snapped out all your thoughts and answered him, “Uh-oh.. yes I’m still here Yunho-ssi.”
“Can you please remove the fomal thing. You can just call me Yunho.” you heard him said. “O-okay..” you replied.
“Um, why did you called by the way?” you suddenly asked. “Uh right! I called you because I want to hang out with you.” he replied. “Hang out with me?!” you gasped.
“Yes. Just considered it as a pay for comforting you last night.” he said. You can’t say ‘no’ to his offer so you just agreed to it.
“So.. See you in an hour.” he said. “Uh-oh, yeah.” you replied.
With that, the phone call ended. You prepared yourself for the time that Yunho fetch you.
After an hour, your door bell rang. You look up, *I think he’s already here.”
You walks to the door and open it. You expecting to see Yunho but you’re wrong. Instead of Yunho, you only see Jaejoong standing in front of you.
“Where are you going?” he asked when he saw your outfit. “None of your business! And what are you doing here?” you coldly asked.
“I just want to talk to you about last night.” he said. You were about to answer him when a familiar voice call your name, “Hyerin-ah!”
Both you and Jaejoong look up to see Yunho walking towards you. “Uh, Yunho..” you whispered. “Are you ready?” he asked. you nodded.
You then look at Jaejoong, “I’m sorry but I need to go now.” you started to walk but Jaejoong grabbed your wrist. You turns to look at him. “We need to talk.” he said as he looks to Yunho. “Uh-oh, it’s okay to me. We can still go after you talk to him.” Yunho said.
“No. I don’t want you to wait. i don’t have any appointment to him so he better amke one first.” you said. “I’m sorry but I can’t talk to you now. Maybe next time.” you said to Jaejoong and started to walk again as Yunho followed.
“I’ll wait for you here.” he shouted. You stopped on it, “I will be home late so you better go now.” you said not looing at him. “I’ll still wait for you even if until tomorrow.” he said. “Then, goodluck to you.” you said then finally left with Yunho.
---
“Are you sure with your decision?” Yunho asked as you two went inside the car. You nodded, “Of course” you replied.
“Okay. So we’re going now.” he said. “Yeah.” you whispered.
Then the car drove off.
The car stopped at Mall. You two went out and went inside the Mall.
“Let’s watch a movie.” Yunho suggested. You nodded, “Okay. I want a horror movie.” you said.
Yunho look at you, “Are you sure?” he asked. You look at him, “Yes of course!” you beamed. “You’re not scared?” he asked as he want to sure.
You nodded again, “Of course not!” you protested. “Okay then.” he said as he get a two ticket for a horror movie.
You two went inside the theater and search for the seat. As you two found a place, you two go there and sit.
After a minute, the movie finally started. At first, the scenes are not scary but at the middle of the movie, it became scary.
Yunho felt a hand on his arm. He followed the hand only to see you, closed eyes. He giggled, “You’re not scared huh?” he teased.
You open your eyes and release his arm. “I’m not scared okay.” you protested.
But then a loud sound came. You screamed and quickly grabbed his arm again and also buried your face on his chest.
Yunho laugh again. “Is that what you called ‘not scared’? he teased. “Shut up! Just let me stay like this.” you said, still burying your face on his chest.
“Okay.. As you said.” he replied. Then a loud sound came again, you screamed once again. Yunho just smiled at you.
After an half hour, the movie finally ended. “You can release me now. The movie already ended.” he whispered. You look up and released him. You take a look at the screen, it’s true.. the movie already ended.
As you two went out from the theater, you heard Yunho still laughing at you. “Yah! Stop laughing at me!” you pouted.
“O-okay. okay. I’ll stop now.” he said as he stopped laughing. “Let’s go eat next.” you said. “Okay!” he replied as you two went to the restaurant.
You two eat there. As usual, you finish it in just 10 minutes. Yunho look shocked on you. “So fast..” he managed to said. You just smiled at him, embarassed. *Aish! I’m so naughty in front of him.* you thought.
But he suddenly said, “You’re so cute!” Your heart fluttered as you gave him a sweet smiled
After eating, you two still not went home. You two explore the mall until the time when it closed. You were happy with Yunho. He makes your day brightly.
“Woah! That was fun! Exploring the Mall the whole day!” you beamed. He smiled, “Yeah!” he agreed.
It’s already late at night so he offered to take you home, “I’ll take you home now.” he said. You nodded, “Okay.”
You two went to his car the the car suddenly drove off.
As the car reach your apartment, you went out. You bowed to him, “Thanks again for making me happy today.” you said. “No problem. So I’ll go ahead now.” he replied. “Okay. Drive safely.” you said as he smiled, “I will.”
With that, the car drove off.
You walks to your apartment but you found Jaejoong sleeping in front of you door. You walks to him stooped down. You just stared at him for a while, then you reach his bangs and gently rubbed it to the side. You continued rubbing it when Jaejoong hand suddenly hold your wrist that made you stopped. His eyes still closed. You look at him surprised. *Is he awake?*
CHAPTER 23
“Am I too handsome for you to stared at me like that?” Jaejoong then open his eyes.
You released your wrist from his hand and stood up. “I’m not staring at you.” you lied. He stood up, “So can we talk now?” he asked.
You look at him, “Okay, what do you want to say?” you asked. “Can we talk inside?” he asked back.
“No. You can ssy it to me now.” you said. “Okay then. Um.. about last night, I’m sorry. I didn’t know the truth that’s why I’m like that.” he said.
“That’s all? Okay then.” you started to squeeze your door knob. “Wait!” he snapped. You look at him again, “What?” you asked, irritated.
“So.. you forgive me now?” he asked, waiting for your answer but you shook your head, “No.”
His face fell, “Wae? I already apologize to you.” “Yes, you do but do you how I feel that time? You are like saying that I’m a liar! And not only because of that because you said it in front of Boa.” you replied.
“But I didn’t know the truth that time.” he explained. “Because you didn’t want to hear the truth! You just always see Boa as a good person!” you said.
“Okay. I admit I’m wrong. But I’m already sorry to you. Can you please forgive me.” he said. “I’m going to forgive in one condition.” you replied.
“What is it?” he asked. “Just treat me a dukbokki now.” you replied.
His eyes widen, “What?!” he gasped. “Yes. You heard me, treat me a dukbokki now.” you repeated.
“But it’s already late. There’s no Food Stand still open at this time.” he said. “Then I won’t forgive you.” you then open your door and went in. You were about to close it when Jaejoong suddenly stopped it. “Okay. I’ll do it.”
You smiled, “Good! Let’s go!” you walk pass by him as he followed.
---
“I told you, it’s already closed.” Jaejoong said as you two reach the Food Stand. “Then do something.” you ordered. “What?!” he gasped.
“If you cannot treat me a dukbokki tonight, I won’t forgive you and tell to everyone that I’m not really your girlfriend.” you said. He sighed, “Okay. Okay.”
He stated to knock the Food Stand. At first, there was no response. He tried to knock again but no response again. He tried many times but end up with nothing happen. He then tried it with a shout, “Hello? Is there anyone there?” he said but still no response. He tried again, “Ahjumma, hello? Can you please went out?” he said and finally an ahjumma went out.
“Eh? What’s going on?” she then look to you, “Uh, Hyerin. What are you and your boyfriend doing here?” she asked again. “Ahjumma, I already told you that I’m not—” “My girlfriend is hungry and she want to eat dukbokki. Ahjumma, can you cook for her?” Jaejoong snapped you when you were about to say that you’re not his girlfriend.
You look at him surprised. “Okay. Since your boyfriend will do everything just for you. I’ll do it. Come on in and have a sit.” the ahjumma said as he went in.
Jaejoong look at you and smirked then followed ahjumma. You rolled your eyes, *Aish! He’s very wise. I didn’t expect that he will convice ahjumma.* you thought as you also followed.
You and Jaejoong sat there as you two wait for ahjumma’s come back.
Suddenly, the ahjumma went out and serve a plate of dukbokki, “Here..” she said and went back to the kitchen.
You then start to eat. “So.. I’m forgiven now?” Jaejoong suddenly asked. You stopped and look at him, “No.” you replied. “What?!” he gasped.
“Only if you eat this.” you replied. “No way!” he beamed. “Okay. It’s your choice. I still didn’t forgive you but thanks for the treat.” you said as you continue eating.
But a while later, Jaejoong swallowed hard then suddenly grabbed a stick and start to eat dukbokki. You look at him surprised, speechless. “Happy?” he said. “You snapped your gazed and shook your head, “No. You need to eat more.”
“Okay then.” he get another one and pulled it to his mouth. You look at him again, shocked. He smiled at you, “It’s not hard since it’s delicious.” he admitted.
You didn’t say a word since you didn’t know what to say. He just continue eating and he almost eat all when you finally spoke, “Yah! Don’t eat all that! I want to eat too.” He pouted.
---
You bowed, “Thanks ahjumma.” you said as you two finished the dukbokki. She shook her head, “No need to thank me. Just thank your boyfriend.”
You look at Jaejoong who widely smiling at you. You rolled your eyes on him. Jaejoong pouted. “Ahjumma, my girlfriend still mad at me. I already did all just her to forgive me. Can you please help me ahjumma.” Jaejoong said.
The ahjumma smiled and look at you, “Hyerin-ah, didn’t you need to proud that your boyfriend will going to do everything just you to be happy? Why don’t you forgive him?” the ahjumma said.
Jaejoong was waiting for your answer. You awkwardly smiled at the ahjumma then look to Jaejoong, “Okay. I’ll forgive you.” you gave up since you don’t have any at your side.
Jaejoong smiled and hug you, “Thanks.” You were surprised by his action. He then quickly release you. He look at the ahjumma and bowed, “Thanks ahjumma for everything.” he said.
The ahjumma smiled, “No problem.”
“Bye ahjumma! Thanks for the dukbokki.” Jaejoong waved and started to walk as you just bowed and followed him.
“What did you do that?” you shouted. “I’m wiser than you think!” he said.
You pouted.
---
“Okay go in now.” Jaejoong said as you two reach your apartment. You nodded, “Araseo.” you turns and about to went in when Jaejoong spoke again, “Wait!” You turns to look at him again, “Eh?” “So.. I’m forgiven now?” he asked.
“No.” you teased. He frowned, “What? Yah! You already said that I’m already forgiven! You better do it!” he said.
You laugh a little, “Okay. You’re now forgiven. Happy?” you said. He then smiled, “Okay, you already said that.”
“Psh! Araseo. Can I go now?” you asked. He nodded.
You then went in and closed the door. A smiled went to his face again before he could finally left.
CHAPTER 24
Week had passed, Jaejoong received a phone call from Junsu.
“Yeoboseo?” Jaejoong answered. “Why did you called?” he asked. “Christmas is coming. I have a plan for it.” Junsu replied.
“What is it?” Jaejoong asked. “I want DBSK spend the Chistmas eve and Christmas day together at my vacation house.” Junsu said.
“Okay. No problem with me since we didn’t spent our Christmas with you last year.” Jaejoong replied. “Okay then. I’ll see you the day before Chrismas eve with your girlfriend araseo?” Junsu said.
“My girlfriend? I thought only DBSK?” Jaejoong said. “What?! Are you kidding? That will be your first Christmas with your girlfriend then you didn’t want her to join us?” Junsu was confused.
“Uh-oh.. it’s not that.” Jaejoong protested. “Then what?” Junsu asked. “Nothing. I’ll go bring her.” Jaejoong replied.
“It settled then. Bye.” with that, the phone call ended. Jaejoong sighed, *Even my Christmas will going to be challenging I guess.* he guessed.
---
You were watching TV when a sudden knock came from your front door. You look up, *Aish! Who will be my visitor today?* you wondered.
You walks to your door. You open it just to see Jaejoong in front of you. He walk passed by you. You raised an eyebrow, “Yah! What are you doing here?!” you yelled as you closed the door and followed him.
He ignored your question, “Do you have a food?” he asked. You then blocked his way. He raised an eyebrow at you. “How can I have a food if you’re not still giving my salary?!” you said.
“Uh yeah! I forgot.” he whispered. You pulled out your hand to him, “Give it now then.” you said.
“Later.” he said as he sat on the couch. You runs to him, “Why later and not now?” you asked.
“Just make some food for me first.” he said. “I don’t have enough money and I’m not in a mood to make a food now.” you replied as you sat beside him.
He stared at you for a while. “Wae?” you asked. “Let’s just eat dukbokki then.” he replied.
“You want to eat dukbokki?!” you gasped. He nodded, “Yeah. Come on!” he stood up and walks to the door.
You were confused but you were also hungry so you followed him.
---
“Ahjumma, two plates of dukbokki please..” Jaejoong said to ahjumma as you two reach the Food Stand.
“Okay, handsome man. Please wait on your table.” she replied and left.
You and Jaejoong search a place and sat there. You look at him confused. He look back at you, “Wae?” he asked.
You crossed your arms, “Are you sick? Dukbokki is like a dirty food to you right?” you asked. He shook his head, “At first, yes but not now.” he replied.
Suddenly, the ahjumma served two plates of dukbokki. “Please enjoy your food.” the ahjumma said and smiled. Jaejoong bowed, “Gomawo ahjumma..” he said. You also bowed.
With that, the ahjumma left.
Jaejoong quickly grabbed his plate and started to eat his dukbokki. He was like a child who didn’t eat in a year. You were shock by his action and your mouth formed an ‘O’ shape.
He stopped when he noticed you, “Don’t you want to eat yours?” he asked just like he want to grabbed yours. You quickly shook your head, “Ani.. I’ll eat it all.” you then started to eat yours.
As you were eating, you saw a hand holding a stick on your plate and was about to get some dukbokki on it. You followed the hamd to see Jaejoong. You then quicklu snapped it, “Yah! Don’t tried to steal my dukbokki!” you said.
He pouted, “Aish! I just want to get only one.” he said. “Sorry but I don’t want to shared my dukbokki to you even one.” you stuck your tounge out on him as you continued to eat. He pouted again.
---
You pulled out your hand on him, “My salary?” you asked as you two finished your food.
“Aish!” he whispered but he still pulled out his wallet and gave your salary.
“Thanks!” you beamed and smiled at him.
You two left the Food Stand and went back to your apartment.
---
“Uh, by the way, we’re going to Junsu’s Vacation house again the day before Christmas eve so get ready and I’m going to fetch you on that day.” Jaejoong said as you two reach your apartment. “Is Boa gonna be there also?” you asked.
“Maybe. Yoochun gonna be there so I think she’s too.” he replied. “Aish! I don’t want to go there then. I don’t want her to ruined my Christmas.” you said.
“No. You need to go. It’s part of your job. If they see that you’re not with me, they will be suspected about our relationship especially Boa. You still need to make her jealous remembered?” he said.
You sighed, “Okay, okay. If it is not my job, I’ll definitely not going there.” you replied. “But you don’t have any other choice. Only if you have a permanent job beside your job on me.” he smirked.
You pouted, “I already agreed so stopped saying about a permanent job.” you said, annoyed.
“Okay. So.. I’ll go ahead now. Just wait for my text araseo?” he reminded. You nodded, “Araseo Boss..” you said.
With that, he left as you went inside your apartment.
CHAPTER 25
It’s the day when you and Jaejoong going on the Christmas vacation. You already packed your stuffs and now waiting for Jaejoong to fetch you.
Minutes later, your door bell rang. *It’s him!* you walks to the front door and open it. You were right! Jaejoong was there in front of the door. “Are you ready?” he asked.
You nodded, “Yes.” you replied. “Where’s your stuffs then?” he asked, want to make sure. You nodded inside your apartment, “Inside.” you whispered.
“Go and get it so we can leave now.” he ordered as you did what he said.
You two then went to his car. With that, the car drove off.
---
“Hyung!” Changmin called as he and Yunho arrived at Junsu’s vacation house. Junsu look up, “Uh! I thought no one will going here.” he said.
“It’s our Christmas together again so we don’t want to missed this vacation.” Yunho said. “Yeah. But do you think the others will come?” Junsu suddenly asked.
“Of course we are!” a familiar voice snapped. They look up to see Yoochun with Boa. “Uh, hyung! You really did come.” Junsu brightened.
“I don’t want to missed this vacation also.” Yoochun said and smiled. “I’m so touch hyung.” Junsu said as he hugged him.
Yoochun lightly pushed him, “Aish! You act like a kid!” he said. Junsu pouted.
Changmin and Yunho burst into laughter as Boa laughed along.
Suddenly, you and Jaejoong already arrived. “Hey!” Jaejoong called. The others turns to him.
“Woah! Hyung also came!” Junsu beamed. “Of course I will.” he replied.
Yunho smiled at you as you smiled back. “Long time no see!” he said to you. “Uh yeah.” you replied.
Jaejoong suddenly grabbed your shoulder, “I’ll bring my girlfriend along too.” he said.
“Hyerin right?” Junsu asked you. You nodded and bowed, “Yes.” you answered.
“Woah! I still remembered!” he beamed as you giggled. “Hyung, where are the rooms that we’re going to stay?” Changmin suddenly asked.
“Uh, yeah! About that. I’m sorry but I only have two rooms so the boys will be in a one room and the girls to the other one.” Junsu explained. “What?!” Boa gasped. “I’m going to share a room with her?!” she gave you a look.
You frowned, *As if I also want to share with you.* you thought.
“But we don’t have any other choice.” Junsu said. “Just take it please.” Yoochun whispered to Boa. She sighed, “Araseo.”
“Then, it settled! You all go and put your stuffs in your respective room.” Junsu said. You look at Jaejoong first. He nodded you to go on your room. You sighed and nodded.
You were about to go to your room when he suddenly grabbed your wrist. You stopped and look back at him. “Don’t make any trouble araseo?” he said as you nodded and completely left.
---
The boys went to their room and place their stuffs there. “Uh, guys! This room has only one bed so only 3 can sleep here.” Junsu explained.
“Then, I’ll go sleep on the floor.” Yunho and Jaejoong said at tge same time. They look at each other as they are a rival on something.
“Uh-oh.. No Jaejoong hyung. I can sleep on the floor with Yunho hyung.” Changmin tried to stopped the bad atmosphere between his two hyung. “No. I’m going to sleep on the floor.” Jaejoong replied.
“Yah! Can you stopped that! Okay! Yunho hyung and Jaejoong hyung will going to sleep on the floor as me, Changmin and Yoochun hyung here on the bed.” Junsu settled.
Changmin sighed and just lowered his head, *It’s so hard.* he thought.
With that, the boys went back to the living room.
---
You on the other hand, went to your room that you’re going to share with Boa. You really didn’t like the idea but you don’t have choice but to accept it.
“What?! Only one bed?!” Boa gasped. “It’s big so we can sleep there together.” you said. *Even if I don’t want to sleep next to you.* you thought.
Boa gave you a look for a while then an evil smile went to her face. You didn’t like that kind of smile from her. She looks like a devil who always want to do bad things to you. “What?!” you then asked.
“I don’t want to sleep next to you that you also didn’t like right? So you go sleep on the floor.” she suggested. Your eyes widen, “What?!” you gasped.
“You heard me. You go sleep on the floor.“ she repeated.
You sighed, *Aish! God, why are you torturing me like this? Did I do something wrong on my oast life?* you thought. You don’t have any choice but agreed to her.
“That’s better!” she smirked as he walks to leave. You also followed. She suddenly stopped and look back at you, “You better not to say about this to the boys or you’ll just make a trouble.” she said then left.
‘Don’t make any trouble araseo?’ Jaejoong’s words crossed on your mind. You sighed again, *Yeah, no trouble. I’m going to shut my mouth I guess.* you thought as you went back to the living room.
CHAPTER 26
The boys are already at the living room when you and Boa arrived there. Boa sat next to Yoochun even though she want to sit next to Jaejoong but she can’t do that. You on the other hand, sat next to Jaejoong.
“How’s your room girls?” Junsu asked. “It’s perfectly okay. Right, Hyerin?” Boa look at you. The others look at you also, waiting for your answer.
“Uh-oh, yeah..” you nodded and forced a smile. “That’s good then!” Junsu beamed.
Yunho look at you, concerned but you didn’t noticed it. He can feel that there’s something going on.
“Let’s eat now. I already prepared the dinner.” Junsu said as he stood up and went to the dining area.
Boa and Yoochun followed him. As you and Jaejoong was about to follow also when Yunho suddenly asked you, “Are you really okay?” You look at him surprised. You nodded, “Yes, of course!” you replied. “Are you sure?” he wants to make sure. “She already said she’s okay so stopped asking.” Jaejoong was annoyed.
“Come on!” Jaejoong said to you as he dragged you to go to dining area.
“Uh-oh..” you look at Yunho once again before you completely left.
Yunho sighed. Changmin patted his shoulder, “Let’s go also hyung.” he whispered. Yunho nodded. Then the two went to the dining area.
All of you eat with no more talking. Maybe because some are alredy tired.
As all of you finish the dinner, the boys went to their room as you and Boa goes to yours.
---
The boys laid on their respective place. Junsu, Changmin and Yoochun on the bed as Jaejoong and Yunho on the floor.
The 3 on the bed were the first who fell a sleep. Jaejoong on the other hand, can’t sleep but a while later, he completely fall a sleep.
Now, Yunho was the last person who was still awake. He’s still thinking about you. To make a sure, he sat up and planning to check you on your room.
He look around first, to make sure no one can see him. When he finally sure, he went out and went to your room.
---
Boa gave you a look before she completely laid on the bed. You sighed and also laid on blanket on the floor. Sleeping on the floor is not a problem since you’re used to it when you were a child but the problem is you can’t take to sleep with Boa.
Just a minute later, you can feel that Boa already asleep. You on the other hand, can’t sleep not because of your place but you didn’t know why.
Suddenly, you heard the door slowly opened. You sat up to see Yunho. Your eyes widen. You quickly put your pointed finger on your lips to gave him a signal to be quiet. You then grabbed your jacket from the side and walks to him. You dragged him out and closed the door.
Yunho look at you, concerned. “Why are you sleeping on the floor? The bed is big for the two of you to share.” he said. “Not here. Let’s talk at the balcony.” you said as you wear your jacket and walks there. Yunho followed you.
“Tell me, Is Boa said to you to sleep there?” he suddenly asked as you two reach the balcony. You waved your hand, “No. I really want to sleep on the floor.” you lied.
He raised an eyebrow at you, “I know you’re just lying!” he said. You sighed and bowed your head. “I’m correct right?” he asked.
You look at him and quickly grabbed both of his hand, “Please don’t tell to anyone especially Jaejoong.” you pleaded. He was shocked with your action that he couldn’t say any word.
Until you heard someone spoke, “What are you two doing here?” a voice asked. You and Yunho look up to see Jaejoong walking towards your direction. He eyed your hands that holding Yunho’s hands. You followed his gazed and quickly release Yunho’s hands.
“I’m asking, what are you two doing here?” Jaejoong reoeated his question. “Nothing.” you replied. “Nothing?” he raised an eyebrow.
“Yes. You, what are you doing here?” you asked him back. “I just want to get a drink when I saw you two holding hands here.” he said. “Aish! It’s nothing okay.” you said. “Okay. Come on! Let’s go back to sleep.” he said as he started to walk.
You walks to Yunho first, “Please keep it a secret for me.” you whispered to him.
“Hyerin-ah, Come on!” Jaejoong called. You look up, “Uh, yeah!” you replied. You look again at Yunho, “Please?” you pleaded again. He pulled out a long sighed and finally nodded. “Thanks!” you bowed, “Goodnight!” you said and followed Jaejoong.
---
“What are you two talking about?” Jaejoong asked as you two walking to your room. “I already said, it’s nothing.” you replied. “Yah! Are you trying to flirt with him?” he asked. You rolled your eyes at him, “Psh! You go now so I can go to sleep now.” you said as you two reach the front door of your room. “But—” he want to say something but you already shut the door and locked it.
He sighed and went back to his room. He found Yunho already lying there. He just ignored him and went back to sleep.
CHAPTER 27
Morning came, you woke up early. You look around to see Boa still sleeping. You silently leave the room, not wanting to wake Boa up.
When you reach the kitchen, you saw Yunho preparing a food. “Good morning!” he greeted with a sweet smiled. You bowed and greeted him back, “Good morning! What are you doing?” you asked.
“Making a breakfast for us.” he replied. “I’ll go help you” you offered.
He shook his head, “No. I can take it by myself.” he replied. You walks to him, “I know you can do it by yourself but I want to help. Just take it as a ‘thank you’ for keeping my secret.” you said as you started to help him preparing.
He stared at you for a while, noylt saying a word. You stopped when you noticed him, “Stop just staring at me. I said I want to help you not I want to do it by myself.” you said, not looking him.
A smiled went up from his face and started to help you. You’re the one who was cutting food as Yunho on the other hand was the one who was cooking.
Suddenly, you accidentally cut your pointed finger, “Ouch!” you gasped. Yunho look at you and quickly run to you when he saw your pointed finger is bleeding. “What happen?” he asked, worried. “It’s nothing. I just accidentally cut my finger.” you replied.
“Nothing? It’s still bleeding. Come here!” he quickly grabbed your finger and licked the blood. You were very shocked by his action. “W-What are y-you doing?” you gasped.
“Just wait here. I’ll go get a band aid.” he said as he released your finger from his mouth and left to get a band aid. You stared at your finger, *What was happened? Did he just licked my blood?* you couldn’t think why he did that.
Suddenly, Yunho went back to you with a band aid. “Your hand..” he nodded on your hand. You snapped out all your thoughts and look at him, “Eh?” you asked.
Instead of giving you a response, he just grabbed your hand and put the band aid on your pointed finger. “This will going to be better soon.” he said.
You just nodded, “Gomawo..” you whispered. You were about to continue cutting the food when he stopped you, “No. You don’t need to continue that. I’ll go do it.” he said as he grabbed the knife from your hand and continued what you were doing earlier.
“I’ll go cook then.” you said. “No. I’m the one will do that.” he said.
You look at him, “But.. What I’m going to do now?” you asked. “Nothing. Just sat there and watch me.” he nodded at the chair.
“But—” “No buts.” he snapped. You then gave up and do what he said.
After 30 minutes, the food is done. “Can you taste it for me?” he asked. “Of course!” you then taste it. “Woah! You made a delicious food!” you beamed.
“Really?” he asked. You smiled and nodded, “Let’s serve this.” you said.
He nodded.
You two were preparing the dining area when the others suddenly woke up and came. “Woah! The breakfast is ready? Who cook all of that?” Yoochun asked.
“I and Hyerin cook all of this.” Yunho replied as the others look at you.
“Woah! Hyung and noona preapared a breakfast for us!” Changmin beamed.
You waved your hand, “No! I didn’t help. Yunho was only one who cook this.” you explained.
“Wait! What happened to your finger?” Jaejoong worriedly asked when he noticed the band aid on your pointed finger. You look at your finger, “Uh, it's nothing.” you shook your head.
Jaejoong walks towards you and grabbed your hand, “Nothing huh? Did you cut your finger while you’re preparing a breakfast?” he asked you. He then look at Yunho, “Why did you let her to prepared a breakfast?” he asked coldly.
You grabbed his arm, “It’s not his fault. It’s mine, he already told me not to help him but I forced him to help. And about this..” you pulled out your finger, “..I was very clumsy that’s why I cut my finger and Yunho was the one who put this band aid so no need to be mad at him. It’s all my fault.” you defended him.
“Can we just eat now?” Boa snapped. “Yeah! Let’s just eat.” Yoochun agreed.
Then all of you sat and starting to eat with an awkward atmosphere. No talking but just eating. You take a look at Jaejoong. You want to apologize to him but he looks very mad.
You just then started to eat your food. Jaejoong take a glance at you, *I’m sorry but I’m just worried about you..*
CHAPTER 28
At night, you and Jaejoong still nit talking to each other. You were just waiting for a chance to have a talk to him but he keeps talking to Junsu like he was take a distance from you.
Suddenly, you felt a light tapped on your shoulder. You look up to see Yunho, “Uh, Yunho-ah..” you said. He sat next to you, “Do you want me to help you to talk to him?” he asked.
You shook your head, “I don’t think he wants to talk to me.” you sighed. “Aish! Just trust me.” Yunho then stood up to make a move.
You just watch him on what is he going to do. You saw Yunho talking to Junsu and tey went on their toom like they have something to get there. The next thing you saw, Jaejoong went to the balcony. You then have a chance to talk to him now. You quickly followed him.
Jaejoong was resting his arms at the railing of the balcony. You walks to him and went next to him, “Can we talk?” you asked.
He look at you, “Go ahead.” he replied. “About earlier... are you still mad at me?” you asked. “Yes, I am.” he replied.
You pouted. “I’m sorry.. If I didn’t forced myself to help Yunho, I didn’t have this.” you raised your finger.
He remained silent. “You’re not mad now, are you?” you asked. “I’m still mad.” he replied as he look at you. “Yah! I already say sorry, why are you still mad?” you pouted.
He smiled when he saw you pouted. “That smile.. Means you’re not mad anymore?” you asked as you smiled.
He became seroius again and cleared his throat, “No. I’m still mad.” “Aish! You’re lying!” you said as you tickled his waist. He then burst into laughter.
“Yah! S-Stopped i-it!” he managed to say between his laugh. You didn’t stopped, “Say that you’re not mad anymore first.” you ordered. “O-okay, o-okay.” he gave up. You then stopped. “Good!” you said. He pouted. You just laugh.
Boa was watching you two from afar. Her heart was like a food that cut into pieces. She can’t continue watching the scene anymore so went back to the living room.
“Did you see Jaejoong and Hyerin?” Junsu asked as Boa passed by. She just nodded on the Balcony. Junsu nodded in understanding and went to the balcony.
---
“Hey!” Jusu called the two of you as he reach the balcony. You and Jaejoong look up, “Uh, Junsu!” Jaejoong said.
“It’s Christmas eve today. Any minute, Christmas will come. Let’s have a count down.” Junsu said.
“Uh yeah.” Jaejoong said to Junsu as Junsu went back. Jaejoong look at you, “Come on!” he said as you nodded and went back.
---
“5.. 4.. 3.. 2.. 1! Merry Christmas!!” All of you beamed.
“Here hyung!” Changmin handed Yunho a gift. “Uh, thanks!” Yunho took it. “Where’s mine?” Junsu asked. “Aish! Of course you also have. Here hyung..” he handed him also as Junsu took it.
Boa and Yoochun gave each other a gifts. Junsu also gave Changmin a gift.
Only you and Jaejoong are not giving a gift. Junsu’s attention turned to the two of you. “Uh, hyung! Where’s your gift to Hyerin? and Hyerin, where’s your gift to hyung?” he suddenly asked.
Both you and Jaejoong look to each other then Jaejoong look back to Junsu, “We didn’t have.” he said. “What?! It’s your first Christmas together, why you two didn’t have any gift to each other?” Yoochun asked. “..Or you two want to give a kiss as a gift to each other?” Yoochun added.
“Yeah! Give each other a kiss!” Junsu agreed. Yunho lowered his head as Boa look away. Changmin felt sorry for his Yunho hyung.
You and Jaejoong look at each other. Junsu and Yoochun continued chanting, “Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!”
CHAPTER 29
You look at them quickly waved your hand, “No—” you want to stopped them but Jaejoong suddenly spoke. “Okay.” he said.
You were stunned on his word. You look at him surprised. He then touch your face that made your heart beats so fast. He started to lean in to you until your both lips met.
Junsu and Yoochun were cheering to the two of you. Boa didn’t know where to look, she want to walk out but she has a pride. Yunho just look away as Changmin feel his sadness.
Your eyes still opened but Jaejoong’s eyes was slowly closed. Your heart is going crazy now. It’s your first kiss and Jaejoong stole it.
Suddenly, your eyes starting to close as you two kissing each other like a real couple. You didn’t know why but you like the feeling that you felt right now as well as Jaejoong.
Until, Junsu said, “Uh, it’s not the end of the world yet so you two can separate now.” “Seems like they enjoyed the kiss as they didn’t even noticed us.” Yoochun added.
With that, you back to your sense and suddenly broke the kiss. Jaejoong then noticed what was happened. You look away as Jaejoong also.
“Woah! Looks like hyung love his Christmas gift.” Junsu beamed. “You’re lucky to have a special Christmas gift hyung.” he added. No response. The atmosphere became awkward silence.
“Yah! Why is so silent? Come on, let’s eat.” Yoochun break the silence. “Okay! Let’s eat!” Junsu agreed.
All of you nodded and went to the dining area to eat all the prepared food for Christmas.
As always, you sat beside Jaejoong but not talking. All of your eat silently.
---
“Okay! It’s still 1:00 am in the morning, we still have time to sleep so we can go Ice Skating tomorrow!” Junsu said. “Yay!” Chamgmin was very excited. With that, all of went to their respective rooms.
---
All the boys were asleep except for Jaejoong. He can’t sleep when the flasback of the kiss crossed on his mind.
You on the other hand, already laid on your place as Boa gave you a look before she could finally sleep. You’re trying to sleep but you can’t. The flasback of the kiss also played on your mind.
You then suddenly sat up, grabbed your jacket and silently went out. You put your jacket on and went to the balcony. Since you couldn’t sleep, you stayed there for a while.
Suddenly, a familiar voice said, “What are you doing here?” You look around to see Jaejoong standing at the balcony’s door. Your heart were going crazy again. “Uh, nothing. I’ll go to sleep now.” you said as you start to went out but he suddenly grabbed your wrist that made you stopped.
CHAPTER 30
Your heart beats so fast again. You then slowly look at him, “Wae?” you asked.
“About.. Er.. The kiss earlier—” he want to say something but you made him cut off.
You shook your head, “No. It’s nothing. It’s just an act right? So its okay.” you said.
“Uh yeah.. an act.” he whispered, a bit disappointed.
“So.. Can I go now?” you said. “Are you trying to have a distance with me?” he suddenly asked, still holding your wrist.
You shook your head, “No. I just need to sleep now since we’re going to go on ice skating tomorrow right? You too, you need sleep now also.” you said.
He nodded, “Uh-oh, yeah!” he said as he finally released your wrist. “Goodnight.” you said and left.
He just watch you leaving and pulled out a long sighed. *Yeah! She’s right! We’re just acting.* he thought and also went back to sleep.
---
Morning came, all of you were busy preparing to go in ice skating. Boa always gave you an evil when you’re always turn your attention to her. Yunho on the other hand, be came silent and take a distance to you. You and Jaejoong were now talking like nothing happens.
---
As you all arrived at the place. “Let’s go ice skating now!” Junsu said. “Yeah! Let’s go!” Changmin said he start to ice skating as Junsu followed.
“Hyung come on!” Changmin waved to Yunho as Yunho nodded and also followed. The next that followed are Yoochun and Boa.
You on the other hand was trembling hard on your spot. Jaejoong noticed you, “Are you okay?” he asked.
You shook your head, “No, I’m not! I didn’t know how to do it.” you admitted. “Just hold my hand then.” he pulled out his hand.
You look at him, still scared but still took his hand. “Don’t worry, this will be fun. Come on, let’s followed them.” he tried to calm you.
You nodded as you trusted him.
As you two start to moved, you were started to hold tight on his hand. He look at you and smiled.
Suddenly, you two reach the end. “Woah! That was awesome!” you whispered under your breath. “I told you.” Jaejoong said as you two burst into laughter.
Boa felt jealous when she saw the scene as well as Yunho.
“Woah! What a cute couple!” the other people whispered. You just bowed and smiled awkwardly. Jaejoong smiled at you. “Want to try again?” Jaejoong asked. You smiled and nodded.
With that, you two started to skate again as the others followed you two.
At first, Jaejoong still holding your hand but when the time passed by, he slowly released your hand. “Yah! Don’t! I can’t!” you protested. He smirked, “You can. Just focus!” he ordered.
Suddenly, you can now skating by yourself. “Woah! I made it!” you beamed as you continued to skate. Jaejoong smiled at you, “Of course you will!” he said. You smiled back at him.
---
As you all back to Junsu’s vacation house to ahve a rest before all of you leave, you all sat on the floor to played a game.
“Let’s play truth or dare!” Junsu suggested. “Yeah! I like that game!” Changmin agreed. “Let’s begin then. Let’s used a bottle to spin.” Yoochun said.
“Okay. Here the bottle.” Junsu place the bottle at the center. “I’ll go spin it.” Changmin said as he started to spin the bottle.
The first spin stopped at Changmin also. “What? Wae?” he just said. All of you laugh. “Sorry but it stopped on you.” Yoochun said.
“No. It’s not already ready. I’ll spin it again.” “No. Rule is rule.” Junsu snapped. Changmin pouted.
“Our maknae is so cute. So.. Truth or dare?” Yoochun asked. “I choose dare.” Changmin replied.
“Okay! Show a girly dance!” Yoochun said. “What?!” Changmin gasped. “It’s a dare so just do it!” Junsu ordered.
Changmin didn’t have any other choice but to do what his hyung said. He started to dance like a girl. All of you burst into laughter because the dance is really fit to him.
“Okay! I’ll go spin it again since it stopped on me.” Changmin spin the bottle again. It stopped at Yunho. “Hyung, truth or dare?” Changmin asked.
“Truth.” Yunho quickly replied. Changmin was about to asked him but Junsu snapped him, “Do you have any girl in your heart now?” Junsu asked.
Changmin look worried on Yunho. Yunho paused for a while. “I mean.. A girl as a woman.” Junsu explained.
Suddenly, Yunho take a look at you first. You met eyes with him, you didn’t know but you can feel something weird. Yunho then look back at Junsu, “Yes, I have.” he replied. Jaejoong frowned on his answer ans felt something fishy.
Junsu was surprised, “Really hyung? Who’s that lucky girl?” he asked again. “I can’t answer that. Only one question remember?” he said. Junsu pouted, “Okay, spin it now.”
Yunho started to spin the bottle. It stopped at Boa. “Truth or dare?” Yunho asked. “Dare.” she replied. “Gave Yoochun hyung a kiss on lips then.” Junsu ordered. Boa look Jaejoong first and without a doubt, she gave Yoochun a kiss on the lips. You take a look at Jaejoong who was looking away.
“Okay spin it now.” Junsu said as Boa did. It stopped at you. You look at them, waiting. “Truth or dare?” Junsu asked.
“Truth.” you replied. “Okay! Can you tell us what did you like about Jaejoong hyung?” Junsu asked.
You paused for a while. You then take a look at Jaejoong who was looking and waiting for your answer then look back to them and smiled, “All.” you said.
Jaejoong look suprised at your answer. “All? What do you mean? You need to clarified it.” Yoochun said.
“I like all about him. Like what I said before, he’s my savor..” you look at Jaejoong, “I like his eyes, it makes me melt when they looking me. I like his perfect nose. I like his lips especially when it’s smiling. I like his hair style, so cool. And most of all, his attitude and being sweet. Like earlier at the Ice Skating, I actually didn’t know how to skate but I’m very lucky that I have him to teach me. He makes me not to be worried by holding my hand. He even do everything for me. Like, the midnight when I want to eat dukbokki, he even knock the place just to buy me a dukbokki.” you then look back at them, “He’s the sweetest guy that I met so I like all about him.” you said. Jaejoong just stared at you.
“Woah! I didn’t know hyung is so sweet to do that.” Junsu said. “You’re lucky then.” Yoochun said. “I guess.” you replied.
Yunho’s heart were broken now after he hear all those words. “I want to go home now.” Boa suddenly said.
“Uh, yeah! It’s already dark. Let’s go home now.” Changmin agreed since he know that his hyung was really hurt now. “Okay then.” Junsu said.
All of you started to packed all your stuffs and leave Junsu’s vacation house.
---
“We’re going now.” Jaejoong said. You nodded. With that, the car drove off.
As the car reach your apartment, you two went out. Jaejoong walks you to your front door.
“Thanks for taking me home.” you bowed. “No problem. And.. By the way, nice act.” he said. You look at him in confusion, “Nice act?” you asked.
He nodded, “Yeah. About the truth or dare earlier. You’re really good in acting huh.” he said. You just nodded.
“So.. I’ll go ahead now.” he then left. You just watch him leaving, *Yes, we’re just acting but I don’t think what I said earlier is just only an act. I mean it.* you sighed and went in.
You want to stop your tears on falling but you can’t. *Why am I like this. Why it feels so hurt.* you thought.
Suddenly, you felt a light tap on your shoulder. You turns to your back to see Yunho. You then quickly look away to hide your tears.
“Don’t hide it. You can cry in front of me. Just cry of you want.” he said. You wiped your tears and turns to look at him again. You forced a smile, “I’m not crying okay. I just want to practice my acting skills.” you lied.
“You don’t need to hide it to me. I already saw what happened.” he said. You look at him surprised, “Y-You saw?” you gasped. He nodded, “Yes, I saw all of it. Even the time that Boa slapped you.” he said. “But how?” you asked.
“When Boa told us that he want to take some fresh air, I feel that she will do something bad to you that’s why I followed her. I can feel that she hate you and she will do anything just to hurt you.” he explained. You just lowered your head.
---
Jaejoong and Boa walks to the front door, panning to leave.
“Uh, hyung what happened to her?” Junsu asked. “Yes, why is she like that?” Changmin asked too.
“I’ll explain to all of you tomorrow. Now, I need to take her home.” Jaejoong replied. “How about your girlfriend?” Junsu asked. “Just take her home.” Jaejoong replied.
“What?! She’s your girlfriend so why do I need to take her home?” Junsu asked. “It’s a favor so please to it for me.” Jaejoong said and left with Boa.
“What’s happening? Why hyung with Boa now?” Changmin was confused. Junsu shook his head, “I don’t know.” he replied.
Suddenly you and Yunho went to the living room and also planning to leave.
“Eh? What happen to you noona? Why your eyes were red?” Changmin worriedly asked. You look away. “I’ll tell you later. I’m going to take her home now.” Yunho said to Changmin.
“Are you sure? I can take her home if you want.” Junsu offered. Yunho shook his head, “No. It’s okay. I can take care of her.” Yunho replied as Junsu nodded in understanding.
With that, you and Yunho left.
---
Jaejoong laid Boa to her bed as they reach her house. “Are you okay now?” he asked.
“Yes. Because you’re now here.” “What do you mean?” Jaejoong asked.
“Now, I can sure that you still love me.” she said. “What?!” he gasped.
“Because I’m the one that you believe not her. You didn’t even give her a time to explain. Now, I’m so happy that you’re here. I’m just wondering now if she’s really your girlfriend.” Boa said.
“Of course she is. Why?” “Because you’re noe on my side not her even though I slapprd her fir—” she accidentally said the truth. Jaejoong frowned, “What? What did you just said?” he asked.
“It’s nothing..” Boa said. “No! I heard what you said. You slapped her face first huh?!” Jaejoong yelled. “Okay. I admit I slapped her first but she also slapped me. She desrved what she got now.” Boa said.
Jaejoong shook his head in disappointment. “I should leave now.” he whispered as he stood up. Boa grabbed his wrist. “No. Please stay here .” she pleaded.
Jaejoong removed her hand from his wrist then left without saying a word.
Tears starting to fall from Boa’s eyes. *I won’t gave up that easily.* she said on her mind.
---
“So where’s your place?” Yunho asked as you two went inside the car. “I don’t want to go home already. Just take to some other place.” you replied.
“Okay.” he replied as the car drove off.
Minutes later, the car stopped at the Lotte World. You two went out from the car. You bowed, “Thank you for taking me here. You can go now.” you said. He shook his head, “No. I’ll stay with you. I think you need some comfort from a friend..” he replied. You look at him surprised, “What?!” you waved yor hand, “No. There’s no need.” you said.
But he grabbed your wrist and dragged you to explore the Lotte World. You just followed him. You two stopped in front of the roller coaster. “Let’s ride that.” Yunho said. Your eyes widen, “What?!” you gasped.
“Let’s ride roller coaster.” he repeated.
You shook your head, “No. I can’t” you replied. “Wae?” “I’m scared in high.” you replied.
“Don’t worry, I’m here. Just hold my hand if you’re feeling scared.” he said as he pulled out his hand. You’re still on a doubt if you’re going to take his hand or not.
“Don’t be scared. It will be fun promise!” he said. You look up to see Yunho smiled brightly to you. You then nodded and took his hand.
When you two is in front of the seat, you swallowed hard before you sit there. As the roller coaster start to move, you quickly took his hand. You hold it tightly. Yunho look at you and smiled, “Don’t worry, you won’t be scared later if you continue holding my hand.” he said. You force a smile and nodded.
At the middle of the ride, you screamed so loud. Yunho giggled at your reaction. You hold his hand more tight than before, he then also hold your hand for you to calm. You look at him and smiled.
After a while, you now enjoyed the ride. You even giggling when the roller coaster is going down. *He’s right! I’m not scared now.* you brightly smiled at him as he smiled back.
As the ride was over, “That was fun!” you whispered. He smiled at you, “I told you.” he said as you giggled.
“You want to ride one more time?” he asked. You eagerly nodded. “Yeah!” you beamed.
You two then ride a roller coaster again. You more enjoyed it than before. You were screaming not because you’re scared just because you were happy.
As it was done, you two started to walk. “Did you enjoyed the ride?” he asked. You smiled brightly again to him, “I super duper enjoyed.” you replied.
“Yeah. Just continue smiling. You looks better now.” he commented. You nodded, “Thanks to you. If it is not because of you, I don’t think I will be happy like this.” you said. “Thank you for the amazing ride.” you added.
He smiled, “No problem.” You smiled back.
“Uh, ice cream!” you whispered as you saw an Ice Cream Shop. “Let’s go buy.” Yunho said. You smiled and nodded.
“Two ice cream please.” Yunho said to the counter. “Okay sir. Here.. Two ice cream.” the lady said.
Yunho took and paid it. He handed you one ice cream and you took it.
You two start to walk around while eating your ice cream. “Delicious?” he asked. You look at him and nodded.
As you two already finished the ice cream, you two went to the car to leave. “Thanks for comforting me. Thanks for making me happy now.” you whispered.
He look at you and smiled. “I’m glad that you’re happy now.” he said as the car drove off.
---
Jaejoong were waiting for you in front of your apartment. He already rand your door bell so many times but yhere was no response. *Did she already home?* he thought.
*Aish! Where is she? Did Junsu take her home?* he search for his phone on his pocket, plannig to make a phone call to Junsu but he left it at Junsu’s vacation house.
Suddenly, a car stopped in front of the apartment. You and Yunho went out. He walks you in front of your house. You happily chatting with him when you noticed a familiar figure standing at your front door.
“Jaejoong?!” you gasped. Jaejoong gave Yunho a look.
“What are you doing here?” you asked.
Jaejoong look at you, “Can we talk?” he asked. You look at Yunho, “You can go now.” “Are you sure?” Yunho asked.
You smiled at him, “Don’t worry. I’ll be fine.” you said. He then nodded and went to his car.
As the car already drove off, you look at Jaejoong. “If you want me to explain then sorry but I don’t you will believe me since you only believe Boa.” you said as you walk to the door.
Jaejoong grabbed your wrist, “No. I already know the truth.” he whispered. You look at him surprised. “Can we talk?” he asked. You want to talk with him but you remembered the hurt that you felt earlier just because of him.
You removed his hand from your wrist, “I’m sorry but I’m already tired and I don’t want to talk about it now. With that, you went in and shut the door.
Jaejoong sighed, *Aish! Why I didn’t gave her an opportunity to explain her side on the first place?* he then left.
CHAPTER 22
Morning came, your phone suddenly rang. You stretch your arms and yawned as you reach your phone from your side table.
When you take a look at your phone, you only see is ‘unknown caller ID’. *Eh? Who could it be?* you thought but you still answer it for you to sure.
“Yeoboseo?” you answered. “Good morning Hyerin-ah!” the other line said.
“Eh? Who is it?” you asked, irritated. “It’s me Yunho.” he replied.
You were shocked on his reply. *How did he know my number?... Uh, yeah. I remembered he asked my number last night.* you thought.
“Yeoboseo Hyerin-ah? Are you still there?” you heard the other line said. You snapped out all your thoughts and answered him, “Uh-oh.. yes I’m still here Yunho-ssi.”
“Can you please remove the fomal thing. You can just call me Yunho.” you heard him said. “O-okay..” you replied.
“Um, why did you called by the way?” you suddenly asked. “Uh right! I called you because I want to hang out with you.” he replied. “Hang out with me?!” you gasped.
“Yes. Just considered it as a pay for comforting you last night.” he said. You can’t say ‘no’ to his offer so you just agreed to it.
“So.. See you in an hour.” he said. “Uh-oh, yeah.” you replied.
With that, the phone call ended. You prepared yourself for the time that Yunho fetch you.
After an hour, your door bell rang. You look up, *I think he’s already here.”
You walks to the door and open it. You expecting to see Yunho but you’re wrong. Instead of Yunho, you only see Jaejoong standing in front of you.
“Where are you going?” he asked when he saw your outfit. “None of your business! And what are you doing here?” you coldly asked.
“I just want to talk to you about last night.” he said. You were about to answer him when a familiar voice call your name, “Hyerin-ah!”
Both you and Jaejoong look up to see Yunho walking towards you. “Uh, Yunho..” you whispered. “Are you ready?” he asked. you nodded.
You then look at Jaejoong, “I’m sorry but I need to go now.” you started to walk but Jaejoong grabbed your wrist. You turns to look at him. “We need to talk.” he said as he looks to Yunho. “Uh-oh, it’s okay to me. We can still go after you talk to him.” Yunho said.
“No. I don’t want you to wait. i don’t have any appointment to him so he better amke one first.” you said. “I’m sorry but I can’t talk to you now. Maybe next time.” you said to Jaejoong and started to walk again as Yunho followed.
“I’ll wait for you here.” he shouted. You stopped on it, “I will be home late so you better go now.” you said not looing at him. “I’ll still wait for you even if until tomorrow.” he said. “Then, goodluck to you.” you said then finally left with Yunho.
---
“Are you sure with your decision?” Yunho asked as you two went inside the car. You nodded, “Of course” you replied.
“Okay. So we’re going now.” he said. “Yeah.” you whispered.
Then the car drove off.
The car stopped at Mall. You two went out and went inside the Mall.
“Let’s watch a movie.” Yunho suggested. You nodded, “Okay. I want a horror movie.” you said.
Yunho look at you, “Are you sure?” he asked. You look at him, “Yes of course!” you beamed. “You’re not scared?” he asked as he want to sure.
You nodded again, “Of course not!” you protested. “Okay then.” he said as he get a two ticket for a horror movie.
You two went inside the theater and search for the seat. As you two found a place, you two go there and sit.
After a minute, the movie finally started. At first, the scenes are not scary but at the middle of the movie, it became scary.
Yunho felt a hand on his arm. He followed the hand only to see you, closed eyes. He giggled, “You’re not scared huh?” he teased.
You open your eyes and release his arm. “I’m not scared okay.” you protested.
But then a loud sound came. You screamed and quickly grabbed his arm again and also buried your face on his chest.
Yunho laugh again. “Is that what you called ‘not scared’? he teased. “Shut up! Just let me stay like this.” you said, still burying your face on his chest.
“Okay.. As you said.” he replied. Then a loud sound came again, you screamed once again. Yunho just smiled at you.
After an half hour, the movie finally ended. “You can release me now. The movie already ended.” he whispered. You look up and released him. You take a look at the screen, it’s true.. the movie already ended.
As you two went out from the theater, you heard Yunho still laughing at you. “Yah! Stop laughing at me!” you pouted.
“O-okay. okay. I’ll stop now.” he said as he stopped laughing. “Let’s go eat next.” you said. “Okay!” he replied as you two went to the restaurant.
You two eat there. As usual, you finish it in just 10 minutes. Yunho look shocked on you. “So fast..” he managed to said. You just smiled at him, embarassed. *Aish! I’m so naughty in front of him.* you thought.
But he suddenly said, “You’re so cute!” Your heart fluttered as you gave him a sweet smiled
After eating, you two still not went home. You two explore the mall until the time when it closed. You were happy with Yunho. He makes your day brightly.
“Woah! That was fun! Exploring the Mall the whole day!” you beamed. He smiled, “Yeah!” he agreed.
It’s already late at night so he offered to take you home, “I’ll take you home now.” he said. You nodded, “Okay.”
You two went to his car the the car suddenly drove off.
As the car reach your apartment, you went out. You bowed to him, “Thanks again for making me happy today.” you said. “No problem. So I’ll go ahead now.” he replied. “Okay. Drive safely.” you said as he smiled, “I will.”
With that, the car drove off.
You walks to your apartment but you found Jaejoong sleeping in front of you door. You walks to him stooped down. You just stared at him for a while, then you reach his bangs and gently rubbed it to the side. You continued rubbing it when Jaejoong hand suddenly hold your wrist that made you stopped. His eyes still closed. You look at him surprised. *Is he awake?*
CHAPTER 23
“Am I too handsome for you to stared at me like that?” Jaejoong then open his eyes.
You released your wrist from his hand and stood up. “I’m not staring at you.” you lied. He stood up, “So can we talk now?” he asked.
You look at him, “Okay, what do you want to say?” you asked. “Can we talk inside?” he asked back.
“No. You can ssy it to me now.” you said. “Okay then. Um.. about last night, I’m sorry. I didn’t know the truth that’s why I’m like that.” he said.
“That’s all? Okay then.” you started to squeeze your door knob. “Wait!” he snapped. You look at him again, “What?” you asked, irritated.
“So.. you forgive me now?” he asked, waiting for your answer but you shook your head, “No.”
His face fell, “Wae? I already apologize to you.” “Yes, you do but do you how I feel that time? You are like saying that I’m a liar! And not only because of that because you said it in front of Boa.” you replied.
“But I didn’t know the truth that time.” he explained. “Because you didn’t want to hear the truth! You just always see Boa as a good person!” you said.
“Okay. I admit I’m wrong. But I’m already sorry to you. Can you please forgive me.” he said. “I’m going to forgive in one condition.” you replied.
“What is it?” he asked. “Just treat me a dukbokki now.” you replied.
His eyes widen, “What?!” he gasped. “Yes. You heard me, treat me a dukbokki now.” you repeated.
“But it’s already late. There’s no Food Stand still open at this time.” he said. “Then I won’t forgive you.” you then open your door and went in. You were about to close it when Jaejoong suddenly stopped it. “Okay. I’ll do it.”
You smiled, “Good! Let’s go!” you walk pass by him as he followed.
---
“I told you, it’s already closed.” Jaejoong said as you two reach the Food Stand. “Then do something.” you ordered. “What?!” he gasped.
“If you cannot treat me a dukbokki tonight, I won’t forgive you and tell to everyone that I’m not really your girlfriend.” you said. He sighed, “Okay. Okay.”
He stated to knock the Food Stand. At first, there was no response. He tried to knock again but no response again. He tried many times but end up with nothing happen. He then tried it with a shout, “Hello? Is there anyone there?” he said but still no response. He tried again, “Ahjumma, hello? Can you please went out?” he said and finally an ahjumma went out.
“Eh? What’s going on?” she then look to you, “Uh, Hyerin. What are you and your boyfriend doing here?” she asked again. “Ahjumma, I already told you that I’m not—” “My girlfriend is hungry and she want to eat dukbokki. Ahjumma, can you cook for her?” Jaejoong snapped you when you were about to say that you’re not his girlfriend.
You look at him surprised. “Okay. Since your boyfriend will do everything just for you. I’ll do it. Come on in and have a sit.” the ahjumma said as he went in.
Jaejoong look at you and smirked then followed ahjumma. You rolled your eyes, *Aish! He’s very wise. I didn’t expect that he will convice ahjumma.* you thought as you also followed.
You and Jaejoong sat there as you two wait for ahjumma’s come back.
Suddenly, the ahjumma went out and serve a plate of dukbokki, “Here..” she said and went back to the kitchen.
You then start to eat. “So.. I’m forgiven now?” Jaejoong suddenly asked. You stopped and look at him, “No.” you replied. “What?!” he gasped.
“Only if you eat this.” you replied. “No way!” he beamed. “Okay. It’s your choice. I still didn’t forgive you but thanks for the treat.” you said as you continue eating.
But a while later, Jaejoong swallowed hard then suddenly grabbed a stick and start to eat dukbokki. You look at him surprised, speechless. “Happy?” he said. “You snapped your gazed and shook your head, “No. You need to eat more.”
“Okay then.” he get another one and pulled it to his mouth. You look at him again, shocked. He smiled at you, “It’s not hard since it’s delicious.” he admitted.
You didn’t say a word since you didn’t know what to say. He just continue eating and he almost eat all when you finally spoke, “Yah! Don’t eat all that! I want to eat too.” He pouted.
---
You bowed, “Thanks ahjumma.” you said as you two finished the dukbokki. She shook her head, “No need to thank me. Just thank your boyfriend.”
You look at Jaejoong who widely smiling at you. You rolled your eyes on him. Jaejoong pouted. “Ahjumma, my girlfriend still mad at me. I already did all just her to forgive me. Can you please help me ahjumma.” Jaejoong said.
The ahjumma smiled and look at you, “Hyerin-ah, didn’t you need to proud that your boyfriend will going to do everything just you to be happy? Why don’t you forgive him?” the ahjumma said.
Jaejoong was waiting for your answer. You awkwardly smiled at the ahjumma then look to Jaejoong, “Okay. I’ll forgive you.” you gave up since you don’t have any at your side.
Jaejoong smiled and hug you, “Thanks.” You were surprised by his action. He then quickly release you. He look at the ahjumma and bowed, “Thanks ahjumma for everything.” he said.
The ahjumma smiled, “No problem.”
“Bye ahjumma! Thanks for the dukbokki.” Jaejoong waved and started to walk as you just bowed and followed him.
“What did you do that?” you shouted. “I’m wiser than you think!” he said.
You pouted.
---
“Okay go in now.” Jaejoong said as you two reach your apartment. You nodded, “Araseo.” you turns and about to went in when Jaejoong spoke again, “Wait!” You turns to look at him again, “Eh?” “So.. I’m forgiven now?” he asked.
“No.” you teased. He frowned, “What? Yah! You already said that I’m already forgiven! You better do it!” he said.
You laugh a little, “Okay. You’re now forgiven. Happy?” you said. He then smiled, “Okay, you already said that.”
“Psh! Araseo. Can I go now?” you asked. He nodded.
You then went in and closed the door. A smiled went to his face again before he could finally left.
CHAPTER 24
Week had passed, Jaejoong received a phone call from Junsu.
“Yeoboseo?” Jaejoong answered. “Why did you called?” he asked. “Christmas is coming. I have a plan for it.” Junsu replied.
“What is it?” Jaejoong asked. “I want DBSK spend the Chistmas eve and Christmas day together at my vacation house.” Junsu said.
“Okay. No problem with me since we didn’t spent our Christmas with you last year.” Jaejoong replied. “Okay then. I’ll see you the day before Chrismas eve with your girlfriend araseo?” Junsu said.
“My girlfriend? I thought only DBSK?” Jaejoong said. “What?! Are you kidding? That will be your first Christmas with your girlfriend then you didn’t want her to join us?” Junsu was confused.
“Uh-oh.. it’s not that.” Jaejoong protested. “Then what?” Junsu asked. “Nothing. I’ll go bring her.” Jaejoong replied.
“It settled then. Bye.” with that, the phone call ended. Jaejoong sighed, *Even my Christmas will going to be challenging I guess.* he guessed.
---
You were watching TV when a sudden knock came from your front door. You look up, *Aish! Who will be my visitor today?* you wondered.
You walks to your door. You open it just to see Jaejoong in front of you. He walk passed by you. You raised an eyebrow, “Yah! What are you doing here?!” you yelled as you closed the door and followed him.
He ignored your question, “Do you have a food?” he asked. You then blocked his way. He raised an eyebrow at you. “How can I have a food if you’re not still giving my salary?!” you said.
“Uh yeah! I forgot.” he whispered. You pulled out your hand to him, “Give it now then.” you said.
“Later.” he said as he sat on the couch. You runs to him, “Why later and not now?” you asked.
“Just make some food for me first.” he said. “I don’t have enough money and I’m not in a mood to make a food now.” you replied as you sat beside him.
He stared at you for a while. “Wae?” you asked. “Let’s just eat dukbokki then.” he replied.
“You want to eat dukbokki?!” you gasped. He nodded, “Yeah. Come on!” he stood up and walks to the door.
You were confused but you were also hungry so you followed him.
---
“Ahjumma, two plates of dukbokki please..” Jaejoong said to ahjumma as you two reach the Food Stand.
“Okay, handsome man. Please wait on your table.” she replied and left.
You and Jaejoong search a place and sat there. You look at him confused. He look back at you, “Wae?” he asked.
You crossed your arms, “Are you sick? Dukbokki is like a dirty food to you right?” you asked. He shook his head, “At first, yes but not now.” he replied.
Suddenly, the ahjumma served two plates of dukbokki. “Please enjoy your food.” the ahjumma said and smiled. Jaejoong bowed, “Gomawo ahjumma..” he said. You also bowed.
With that, the ahjumma left.
Jaejoong quickly grabbed his plate and started to eat his dukbokki. He was like a child who didn’t eat in a year. You were shock by his action and your mouth formed an ‘O’ shape.
He stopped when he noticed you, “Don’t you want to eat yours?” he asked just like he want to grabbed yours. You quickly shook your head, “Ani.. I’ll eat it all.” you then started to eat yours.
As you were eating, you saw a hand holding a stick on your plate and was about to get some dukbokki on it. You followed the hamd to see Jaejoong. You then quicklu snapped it, “Yah! Don’t tried to steal my dukbokki!” you said.
He pouted, “Aish! I just want to get only one.” he said. “Sorry but I don’t want to shared my dukbokki to you even one.” you stuck your tounge out on him as you continued to eat. He pouted again.
---
You pulled out your hand on him, “My salary?” you asked as you two finished your food.
“Aish!” he whispered but he still pulled out his wallet and gave your salary.
“Thanks!” you beamed and smiled at him.
You two left the Food Stand and went back to your apartment.
---
“Uh, by the way, we’re going to Junsu’s Vacation house again the day before Christmas eve so get ready and I’m going to fetch you on that day.” Jaejoong said as you two reach your apartment. “Is Boa gonna be there also?” you asked.
“Maybe. Yoochun gonna be there so I think she’s too.” he replied. “Aish! I don’t want to go there then. I don’t want her to ruined my Christmas.” you said.
“No. You need to go. It’s part of your job. If they see that you’re not with me, they will be suspected about our relationship especially Boa. You still need to make her jealous remembered?” he said.
You sighed, “Okay, okay. If it is not my job, I’ll definitely not going there.” you replied. “But you don’t have any other choice. Only if you have a permanent job beside your job on me.” he smirked.
You pouted, “I already agreed so stopped saying about a permanent job.” you said, annoyed.
“Okay. So.. I’ll go ahead now. Just wait for my text araseo?” he reminded. You nodded, “Araseo Boss..” you said.
With that, he left as you went inside your apartment.
CHAPTER 25
It’s the day when you and Jaejoong going on the Christmas vacation. You already packed your stuffs and now waiting for Jaejoong to fetch you.
Minutes later, your door bell rang. *It’s him!* you walks to the front door and open it. You were right! Jaejoong was there in front of the door. “Are you ready?” he asked.
You nodded, “Yes.” you replied. “Where’s your stuffs then?” he asked, want to make sure. You nodded inside your apartment, “Inside.” you whispered.
“Go and get it so we can leave now.” he ordered as you did what he said.
You two then went to his car. With that, the car drove off.
---
“Hyung!” Changmin called as he and Yunho arrived at Junsu’s vacation house. Junsu look up, “Uh! I thought no one will going here.” he said.
“It’s our Christmas together again so we don’t want to missed this vacation.” Yunho said. “Yeah. But do you think the others will come?” Junsu suddenly asked.
“Of course we are!” a familiar voice snapped. They look up to see Yoochun with Boa. “Uh, hyung! You really did come.” Junsu brightened.
“I don’t want to missed this vacation also.” Yoochun said and smiled. “I’m so touch hyung.” Junsu said as he hugged him.
Yoochun lightly pushed him, “Aish! You act like a kid!” he said. Junsu pouted.
Changmin and Yunho burst into laughter as Boa laughed along.
Suddenly, you and Jaejoong already arrived. “Hey!” Jaejoong called. The others turns to him.
“Woah! Hyung also came!” Junsu beamed. “Of course I will.” he replied.
Yunho smiled at you as you smiled back. “Long time no see!” he said to you. “Uh yeah.” you replied.
Jaejoong suddenly grabbed your shoulder, “I’ll bring my girlfriend along too.” he said.
“Hyerin right?” Junsu asked you. You nodded and bowed, “Yes.” you answered.
“Woah! I still remembered!” he beamed as you giggled. “Hyung, where are the rooms that we’re going to stay?” Changmin suddenly asked.
“Uh, yeah! About that. I’m sorry but I only have two rooms so the boys will be in a one room and the girls to the other one.” Junsu explained. “What?!” Boa gasped. “I’m going to share a room with her?!” she gave you a look.
You frowned, *As if I also want to share with you.* you thought.
“But we don’t have any other choice.” Junsu said. “Just take it please.” Yoochun whispered to Boa. She sighed, “Araseo.”
“Then, it settled! You all go and put your stuffs in your respective room.” Junsu said. You look at Jaejoong first. He nodded you to go on your room. You sighed and nodded.
You were about to go to your room when he suddenly grabbed your wrist. You stopped and look back at him. “Don’t make any trouble araseo?” he said as you nodded and completely left.
---
The boys went to their room and place their stuffs there. “Uh, guys! This room has only one bed so only 3 can sleep here.” Junsu explained.
“Then, I’ll go sleep on the floor.” Yunho and Jaejoong said at tge same time. They look at each other as they are a rival on something.
“Uh-oh.. No Jaejoong hyung. I can sleep on the floor with Yunho hyung.” Changmin tried to stopped the bad atmosphere between his two hyung. “No. I’m going to sleep on the floor.” Jaejoong replied.
“Yah! Can you stopped that! Okay! Yunho hyung and Jaejoong hyung will going to sleep on the floor as me, Changmin and Yoochun hyung here on the bed.” Junsu settled.
Changmin sighed and just lowered his head, *It’s so hard.* he thought.
With that, the boys went back to the living room.
---
You on the other hand, went to your room that you’re going to share with Boa. You really didn’t like the idea but you don’t have choice but to accept it.
“What?! Only one bed?!” Boa gasped. “It’s big so we can sleep there together.” you said. *Even if I don’t want to sleep next to you.* you thought.
Boa gave you a look for a while then an evil smile went to her face. You didn’t like that kind of smile from her. She looks like a devil who always want to do bad things to you. “What?!” you then asked.
“I don’t want to sleep next to you that you also didn’t like right? So you go sleep on the floor.” she suggested. Your eyes widen, “What?!” you gasped.
“You heard me. You go sleep on the floor.“ she repeated.
You sighed, *Aish! God, why are you torturing me like this? Did I do something wrong on my oast life?* you thought. You don’t have any choice but agreed to her.
“That’s better!” she smirked as he walks to leave. You also followed. She suddenly stopped and look back at you, “You better not to say about this to the boys or you’ll just make a trouble.” she said then left.
‘Don’t make any trouble araseo?’ Jaejoong’s words crossed on your mind. You sighed again, *Yeah, no trouble. I’m going to shut my mouth I guess.* you thought as you went back to the living room.
CHAPTER 26
The boys are already at the living room when you and Boa arrived there. Boa sat next to Yoochun even though she want to sit next to Jaejoong but she can’t do that. You on the other hand, sat next to Jaejoong.
“How’s your room girls?” Junsu asked. “It’s perfectly okay. Right, Hyerin?” Boa look at you. The others look at you also, waiting for your answer.
“Uh-oh, yeah..” you nodded and forced a smile. “That’s good then!” Junsu beamed.
Yunho look at you, concerned but you didn’t noticed it. He can feel that there’s something going on.
“Let’s eat now. I already prepared the dinner.” Junsu said as he stood up and went to the dining area.
Boa and Yoochun followed him. As you and Jaejoong was about to follow also when Yunho suddenly asked you, “Are you really okay?” You look at him surprised. You nodded, “Yes, of course!” you replied. “Are you sure?” he wants to make sure. “She already said she’s okay so stopped asking.” Jaejoong was annoyed.
“Come on!” Jaejoong said to you as he dragged you to go to dining area.
“Uh-oh..” you look at Yunho once again before you completely left.
Yunho sighed. Changmin patted his shoulder, “Let’s go also hyung.” he whispered. Yunho nodded. Then the two went to the dining area.
All of you eat with no more talking. Maybe because some are alredy tired.
As all of you finish the dinner, the boys went to their room as you and Boa goes to yours.
---
The boys laid on their respective place. Junsu, Changmin and Yoochun on the bed as Jaejoong and Yunho on the floor.
The 3 on the bed were the first who fell a sleep. Jaejoong on the other hand, can’t sleep but a while later, he completely fall a sleep.
Now, Yunho was the last person who was still awake. He’s still thinking about you. To make a sure, he sat up and planning to check you on your room.
He look around first, to make sure no one can see him. When he finally sure, he went out and went to your room.
---
Boa gave you a look before she completely laid on the bed. You sighed and also laid on blanket on the floor. Sleeping on the floor is not a problem since you’re used to it when you were a child but the problem is you can’t take to sleep with Boa.
Just a minute later, you can feel that Boa already asleep. You on the other hand, can’t sleep not because of your place but you didn’t know why.
Suddenly, you heard the door slowly opened. You sat up to see Yunho. Your eyes widen. You quickly put your pointed finger on your lips to gave him a signal to be quiet. You then grabbed your jacket from the side and walks to him. You dragged him out and closed the door.
Yunho look at you, concerned. “Why are you sleeping on the floor? The bed is big for the two of you to share.” he said. “Not here. Let’s talk at the balcony.” you said as you wear your jacket and walks there. Yunho followed you.
“Tell me, Is Boa said to you to sleep there?” he suddenly asked as you two reach the balcony. You waved your hand, “No. I really want to sleep on the floor.” you lied.
He raised an eyebrow at you, “I know you’re just lying!” he said. You sighed and bowed your head. “I’m correct right?” he asked.
You look at him and quickly grabbed both of his hand, “Please don’t tell to anyone especially Jaejoong.” you pleaded. He was shocked with your action that he couldn’t say any word.
Until you heard someone spoke, “What are you two doing here?” a voice asked. You and Yunho look up to see Jaejoong walking towards your direction. He eyed your hands that holding Yunho’s hands. You followed his gazed and quickly release Yunho’s hands.
“I’m asking, what are you two doing here?” Jaejoong reoeated his question. “Nothing.” you replied. “Nothing?” he raised an eyebrow.
“Yes. You, what are you doing here?” you asked him back. “I just want to get a drink when I saw you two holding hands here.” he said. “Aish! It’s nothing okay.” you said. “Okay. Come on! Let’s go back to sleep.” he said as he started to walk.
You walks to Yunho first, “Please keep it a secret for me.” you whispered to him.
“Hyerin-ah, Come on!” Jaejoong called. You look up, “Uh, yeah!” you replied. You look again at Yunho, “Please?” you pleaded again. He pulled out a long sighed and finally nodded. “Thanks!” you bowed, “Goodnight!” you said and followed Jaejoong.
---
“What are you two talking about?” Jaejoong asked as you two walking to your room. “I already said, it’s nothing.” you replied. “Yah! Are you trying to flirt with him?” he asked. You rolled your eyes at him, “Psh! You go now so I can go to sleep now.” you said as you two reach the front door of your room. “But—” he want to say something but you already shut the door and locked it.
He sighed and went back to his room. He found Yunho already lying there. He just ignored him and went back to sleep.
CHAPTER 27
Morning came, you woke up early. You look around to see Boa still sleeping. You silently leave the room, not wanting to wake Boa up.
When you reach the kitchen, you saw Yunho preparing a food. “Good morning!” he greeted with a sweet smiled. You bowed and greeted him back, “Good morning! What are you doing?” you asked.
“Making a breakfast for us.” he replied. “I’ll go help you” you offered.
He shook his head, “No. I can take it by myself.” he replied. You walks to him, “I know you can do it by yourself but I want to help. Just take it as a ‘thank you’ for keeping my secret.” you said as you started to help him preparing.
He stared at you for a while, noylt saying a word. You stopped when you noticed him, “Stop just staring at me. I said I want to help you not I want to do it by myself.” you said, not looking him.
A smiled went up from his face and started to help you. You’re the one who was cutting food as Yunho on the other hand was the one who was cooking.
Suddenly, you accidentally cut your pointed finger, “Ouch!” you gasped. Yunho look at you and quickly run to you when he saw your pointed finger is bleeding. “What happen?” he asked, worried. “It’s nothing. I just accidentally cut my finger.” you replied.
“Nothing? It’s still bleeding. Come here!” he quickly grabbed your finger and licked the blood. You were very shocked by his action. “W-What are y-you doing?” you gasped.
“Just wait here. I’ll go get a band aid.” he said as he released your finger from his mouth and left to get a band aid. You stared at your finger, *What was happened? Did he just licked my blood?* you couldn’t think why he did that.
Suddenly, Yunho went back to you with a band aid. “Your hand..” he nodded on your hand. You snapped out all your thoughts and look at him, “Eh?” you asked.
Instead of giving you a response, he just grabbed your hand and put the band aid on your pointed finger. “This will going to be better soon.” he said.
You just nodded, “Gomawo..” you whispered. You were about to continue cutting the food when he stopped you, “No. You don’t need to continue that. I’ll go do it.” he said as he grabbed the knife from your hand and continued what you were doing earlier.
“I’ll go cook then.” you said. “No. I’m the one will do that.” he said.
You look at him, “But.. What I’m going to do now?” you asked. “Nothing. Just sat there and watch me.” he nodded at the chair.
“But—” “No buts.” he snapped. You then gave up and do what he said.
After 30 minutes, the food is done. “Can you taste it for me?” he asked. “Of course!” you then taste it. “Woah! You made a delicious food!” you beamed.
“Really?” he asked. You smiled and nodded, “Let’s serve this.” you said.
He nodded.
You two were preparing the dining area when the others suddenly woke up and came. “Woah! The breakfast is ready? Who cook all of that?” Yoochun asked.
“I and Hyerin cook all of this.” Yunho replied as the others look at you.
“Woah! Hyung and noona preapared a breakfast for us!” Changmin beamed.
You waved your hand, “No! I didn’t help. Yunho was only one who cook this.” you explained.
“Wait! What happened to your finger?” Jaejoong worriedly asked when he noticed the band aid on your pointed finger. You look at your finger, “Uh, it's nothing.” you shook your head.
Jaejoong walks towards you and grabbed your hand, “Nothing huh? Did you cut your finger while you’re preparing a breakfast?” he asked you. He then look at Yunho, “Why did you let her to prepared a breakfast?” he asked coldly.
You grabbed his arm, “It’s not his fault. It’s mine, he already told me not to help him but I forced him to help. And about this..” you pulled out your finger, “..I was very clumsy that’s why I cut my finger and Yunho was the one who put this band aid so no need to be mad at him. It’s all my fault.” you defended him.
“Can we just eat now?” Boa snapped. “Yeah! Let’s just eat.” Yoochun agreed.
Then all of you sat and starting to eat with an awkward atmosphere. No talking but just eating. You take a look at Jaejoong. You want to apologize to him but he looks very mad.
You just then started to eat your food. Jaejoong take a glance at you, *I’m sorry but I’m just worried about you..*
CHAPTER 28
At night, you and Jaejoong still nit talking to each other. You were just waiting for a chance to have a talk to him but he keeps talking to Junsu like he was take a distance from you.
Suddenly, you felt a light tapped on your shoulder. You look up to see Yunho, “Uh, Yunho-ah..” you said. He sat next to you, “Do you want me to help you to talk to him?” he asked.
You shook your head, “I don’t think he wants to talk to me.” you sighed. “Aish! Just trust me.” Yunho then stood up to make a move.
You just watch him on what is he going to do. You saw Yunho talking to Junsu and tey went on their toom like they have something to get there. The next thing you saw, Jaejoong went to the balcony. You then have a chance to talk to him now. You quickly followed him.
Jaejoong was resting his arms at the railing of the balcony. You walks to him and went next to him, “Can we talk?” you asked.
He look at you, “Go ahead.” he replied. “About earlier... are you still mad at me?” you asked. “Yes, I am.” he replied.
You pouted. “I’m sorry.. If I didn’t forced myself to help Yunho, I didn’t have this.” you raised your finger.
He remained silent. “You’re not mad now, are you?” you asked. “I’m still mad.” he replied as he look at you. “Yah! I already say sorry, why are you still mad?” you pouted.
He smiled when he saw you pouted. “That smile.. Means you’re not mad anymore?” you asked as you smiled.
He became seroius again and cleared his throat, “No. I’m still mad.” “Aish! You’re lying!” you said as you tickled his waist. He then burst into laughter.
“Yah! S-Stopped i-it!” he managed to say between his laugh. You didn’t stopped, “Say that you’re not mad anymore first.” you ordered. “O-okay, o-okay.” he gave up. You then stopped. “Good!” you said. He pouted. You just laugh.
Boa was watching you two from afar. Her heart was like a food that cut into pieces. She can’t continue watching the scene anymore so went back to the living room.
“Did you see Jaejoong and Hyerin?” Junsu asked as Boa passed by. She just nodded on the Balcony. Junsu nodded in understanding and went to the balcony.
---
“Hey!” Jusu called the two of you as he reach the balcony. You and Jaejoong look up, “Uh, Junsu!” Jaejoong said.
“It’s Christmas eve today. Any minute, Christmas will come. Let’s have a count down.” Junsu said.
“Uh yeah.” Jaejoong said to Junsu as Junsu went back. Jaejoong look at you, “Come on!” he said as you nodded and went back.
---
“5.. 4.. 3.. 2.. 1! Merry Christmas!!” All of you beamed.
“Here hyung!” Changmin handed Yunho a gift. “Uh, thanks!” Yunho took it. “Where’s mine?” Junsu asked. “Aish! Of course you also have. Here hyung..” he handed him also as Junsu took it.
Boa and Yoochun gave each other a gifts. Junsu also gave Changmin a gift.
Only you and Jaejoong are not giving a gift. Junsu’s attention turned to the two of you. “Uh, hyung! Where’s your gift to Hyerin? and Hyerin, where’s your gift to hyung?” he suddenly asked.
Both you and Jaejoong look to each other then Jaejoong look back to Junsu, “We didn’t have.” he said. “What?! It’s your first Christmas together, why you two didn’t have any gift to each other?” Yoochun asked. “..Or you two want to give a kiss as a gift to each other?” Yoochun added.
“Yeah! Give each other a kiss!” Junsu agreed. Yunho lowered his head as Boa look away. Changmin felt sorry for his Yunho hyung.
You and Jaejoong look at each other. Junsu and Yoochun continued chanting, “Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!”
CHAPTER 29
You look at them quickly waved your hand, “No—” you want to stopped them but Jaejoong suddenly spoke. “Okay.” he said.
You were stunned on his word. You look at him surprised. He then touch your face that made your heart beats so fast. He started to lean in to you until your both lips met.
Junsu and Yoochun were cheering to the two of you. Boa didn’t know where to look, she want to walk out but she has a pride. Yunho just look away as Changmin feel his sadness.
Your eyes still opened but Jaejoong’s eyes was slowly closed. Your heart is going crazy now. It’s your first kiss and Jaejoong stole it.
Suddenly, your eyes starting to close as you two kissing each other like a real couple. You didn’t know why but you like the feeling that you felt right now as well as Jaejoong.
Until, Junsu said, “Uh, it’s not the end of the world yet so you two can separate now.” “Seems like they enjoyed the kiss as they didn’t even noticed us.” Yoochun added.
With that, you back to your sense and suddenly broke the kiss. Jaejoong then noticed what was happened. You look away as Jaejoong also.
“Woah! Looks like hyung love his Christmas gift.” Junsu beamed. “You’re lucky to have a special Christmas gift hyung.” he added. No response. The atmosphere became awkward silence.
“Yah! Why is so silent? Come on, let’s eat.” Yoochun break the silence. “Okay! Let’s eat!” Junsu agreed.
All of you nodded and went to the dining area to eat all the prepared food for Christmas.
As always, you sat beside Jaejoong but not talking. All of your eat silently.
---
“Okay! It’s still 1:00 am in the morning, we still have time to sleep so we can go Ice Skating tomorrow!” Junsu said. “Yay!” Chamgmin was very excited. With that, all of went to their respective rooms.
---
All the boys were asleep except for Jaejoong. He can’t sleep when the flasback of the kiss crossed on his mind.
You on the other hand, already laid on your place as Boa gave you a look before she could finally sleep. You’re trying to sleep but you can’t. The flasback of the kiss also played on your mind.
You then suddenly sat up, grabbed your jacket and silently went out. You put your jacket on and went to the balcony. Since you couldn’t sleep, you stayed there for a while.
Suddenly, a familiar voice said, “What are you doing here?” You look around to see Jaejoong standing at the balcony’s door. Your heart were going crazy again. “Uh, nothing. I’ll go to sleep now.” you said as you start to went out but he suddenly grabbed your wrist that made you stopped.
CHAPTER 30
Your heart beats so fast again. You then slowly look at him, “Wae?” you asked.
“About.. Er.. The kiss earlier—” he want to say something but you made him cut off.
You shook your head, “No. It’s nothing. It’s just an act right? So its okay.” you said.
“Uh yeah.. an act.” he whispered, a bit disappointed.
“So.. Can I go now?” you said. “Are you trying to have a distance with me?” he suddenly asked, still holding your wrist.
You shook your head, “No. I just need to sleep now since we’re going to go on ice skating tomorrow right? You too, you need sleep now also.” you said.
He nodded, “Uh-oh, yeah!” he said as he finally released your wrist. “Goodnight.” you said and left.
He just watch you leaving and pulled out a long sighed. *Yeah! She’s right! We’re just acting.* he thought and also went back to sleep.
---
Morning came, all of you were busy preparing to go in ice skating. Boa always gave you an evil when you’re always turn your attention to her. Yunho on the other hand, be came silent and take a distance to you. You and Jaejoong were now talking like nothing happens.
---
As you all arrived at the place. “Let’s go ice skating now!” Junsu said. “Yeah! Let’s go!” Changmin said he start to ice skating as Junsu followed.
“Hyung come on!” Changmin waved to Yunho as Yunho nodded and also followed. The next that followed are Yoochun and Boa.
You on the other hand was trembling hard on your spot. Jaejoong noticed you, “Are you okay?” he asked.
You shook your head, “No, I’m not! I didn’t know how to do it.” you admitted. “Just hold my hand then.” he pulled out his hand.
You look at him, still scared but still took his hand. “Don’t worry, this will be fun. Come on, let’s followed them.” he tried to calm you.
You nodded as you trusted him.
As you two start to moved, you were started to hold tight on his hand. He look at you and smiled.
Suddenly, you two reach the end. “Woah! That was awesome!” you whispered under your breath. “I told you.” Jaejoong said as you two burst into laughter.
Boa felt jealous when she saw the scene as well as Yunho.
“Woah! What a cute couple!” the other people whispered. You just bowed and smiled awkwardly. Jaejoong smiled at you. “Want to try again?” Jaejoong asked. You smiled and nodded.
With that, you two started to skate again as the others followed you two.
At first, Jaejoong still holding your hand but when the time passed by, he slowly released your hand. “Yah! Don’t! I can’t!” you protested. He smirked, “You can. Just focus!” he ordered.
Suddenly, you can now skating by yourself. “Woah! I made it!” you beamed as you continued to skate. Jaejoong smiled at you, “Of course you will!” he said. You smiled back at him.
---
As you all back to Junsu’s vacation house to ahve a rest before all of you leave, you all sat on the floor to played a game.
“Let’s play truth or dare!” Junsu suggested. “Yeah! I like that game!” Changmin agreed. “Let’s begin then. Let’s used a bottle to spin.” Yoochun said.
“Okay. Here the bottle.” Junsu place the bottle at the center. “I’ll go spin it.” Changmin said as he started to spin the bottle.
The first spin stopped at Changmin also. “What? Wae?” he just said. All of you laugh. “Sorry but it stopped on you.” Yoochun said.
“No. It’s not already ready. I’ll spin it again.” “No. Rule is rule.” Junsu snapped. Changmin pouted.
“Our maknae is so cute. So.. Truth or dare?” Yoochun asked. “I choose dare.” Changmin replied.
“Okay! Show a girly dance!” Yoochun said. “What?!” Changmin gasped. “It’s a dare so just do it!” Junsu ordered.
Changmin didn’t have any other choice but to do what his hyung said. He started to dance like a girl. All of you burst into laughter because the dance is really fit to him.
“Okay! I’ll go spin it again since it stopped on me.” Changmin spin the bottle again. It stopped at Yunho. “Hyung, truth or dare?” Changmin asked.
“Truth.” Yunho quickly replied. Changmin was about to asked him but Junsu snapped him, “Do you have any girl in your heart now?” Junsu asked.
Changmin look worried on Yunho. Yunho paused for a while. “I mean.. A girl as a woman.” Junsu explained.
Suddenly, Yunho take a look at you first. You met eyes with him, you didn’t know but you can feel something weird. Yunho then look back at Junsu, “Yes, I have.” he replied. Jaejoong frowned on his answer ans felt something fishy.
Junsu was surprised, “Really hyung? Who’s that lucky girl?” he asked again. “I can’t answer that. Only one question remember?” he said. Junsu pouted, “Okay, spin it now.”
Yunho started to spin the bottle. It stopped at Boa. “Truth or dare?” Yunho asked. “Dare.” she replied. “Gave Yoochun hyung a kiss on lips then.” Junsu ordered. Boa look Jaejoong first and without a doubt, she gave Yoochun a kiss on the lips. You take a look at Jaejoong who was looking away.
“Okay spin it now.” Junsu said as Boa did. It stopped at you. You look at them, waiting. “Truth or dare?” Junsu asked.
“Truth.” you replied. “Okay! Can you tell us what did you like about Jaejoong hyung?” Junsu asked.
You paused for a while. You then take a look at Jaejoong who was looking and waiting for your answer then look back to them and smiled, “All.” you said.
Jaejoong look suprised at your answer. “All? What do you mean? You need to clarified it.” Yoochun said.
“I like all about him. Like what I said before, he’s my savor..” you look at Jaejoong, “I like his eyes, it makes me melt when they looking me. I like his perfect nose. I like his lips especially when it’s smiling. I like his hair style, so cool. And most of all, his attitude and being sweet. Like earlier at the Ice Skating, I actually didn’t know how to skate but I’m very lucky that I have him to teach me. He makes me not to be worried by holding my hand. He even do everything for me. Like, the midnight when I want to eat dukbokki, he even knock the place just to buy me a dukbokki.” you then look back at them, “He’s the sweetest guy that I met so I like all about him.” you said. Jaejoong just stared at you.
“Woah! I didn’t know hyung is so sweet to do that.” Junsu said. “You’re lucky then.” Yoochun said. “I guess.” you replied.
Yunho’s heart were broken now after he hear all those words. “I want to go home now.” Boa suddenly said.
“Uh, yeah! It’s already dark. Let’s go home now.” Changmin agreed since he know that his hyung was really hurt now. “Okay then.” Junsu said.
All of you started to packed all your stuffs and leave Junsu’s vacation house.
---
“We’re going now.” Jaejoong said. You nodded. With that, the car drove off.
As the car reach your apartment, you two went out. Jaejoong walks you to your front door.
“Thanks for taking me home.” you bowed. “No problem. And.. By the way, nice act.” he said. You look at him in confusion, “Nice act?” you asked.
He nodded, “Yeah. About the truth or dare earlier. You’re really good in acting huh.” he said. You just nodded.
“So.. I’ll go ahead now.” he then left. You just watch him leaving, *Yes, we’re just acting but I don’t think what I said earlier is just only an act. I mean it.* you sighed and went in.
