We sat after pervy took Jihyun and Taemin away for a costume change since the concept is a fairytale party.

"So, how do I look?" Jihyun asked me shyly when they left the dressing room, comfort room, or whatever it was called.

"Perfect.." Taemin said as if he was bewitched.

"Aww...Thank you. You look terrific too, Taemin." she smiled at Taemin, then turned at me. "Unnie? What? Do I look okay?"

I raised both my thumb. "You look... perfectly gorgeous!" I beamed at her.

I was still praising Jihyun's appearance when Taemin suddenly blocked my view.

"Jihyun, let's dance!" With that, he pulled my Jihyun into the dancefloor.

"Y-ya!" I was about to walk after them, but Minho stopped right infront of me.

"What??!" I asked him, somewhat irritated.

He seems unaffected by my voice. He cleared his throat and then bent his left knee down.

"Could the beautiful princess be so kind to have a dance with me?" Minho stated like a prince who lived 500 years ago with extended arms.

Realizing what he was doing, I played along with his act. I nodded and did a curtsy.

"The pleasure is all mine." I reached his hand, lady-like.

We were both laughing while walking our way towards the dancefloor. We were happily dancing to the tune that's more like a waltz when it was suddenly overpowered by a music coming from the corner.

Minho and I turned in that direction and saw pervy dancing enthusiastically to "Twinkle Twinkle" of Girl's Day.

How do I know the title and the singer of the song? Well, I've been living here in Korea for quite a long time now, so I already know their music, I mean, our music.

"Let's go." Minho dragged me into the karaoke corner as the rest came to join pervy.

"I'd rather sit. The dance was tiring." I excused myself and pushed him to the karaoke corner.

They were all having a great time. Pervy was singing almost everything, and the rest was his backup dancer. Pervy was so into the dance; I must admit, he danced so well. I was laughing the whole time I was looking.

"You like him, don't you?" I almost jumped upon hearing Jihyun's voice beside me.

"You like him." she teased.

"Huh? Who?" I acted dumb, though I had an idea of who she meant.

Jihyun pointed at the dancing pervy.

Just as I thought.

"Pervy??" I exclaimed.

"Huh? Pervy?" she asked, confused.

"I mean..him? What kind of joke is that!"

"You were staring at him the whole time, unnie." she continued teasing.

"What? N-no! I'm not!" I'm not staring at him! I'm really not! Right?

Geez! Why do I sound so defensive?

"Fine. Fine. Then how about Minho? Do you like him?" she stared at me intently. That's not hard to answer.

"Of course. I like him. He's such a great and loyal friend. Who wouldn't like him?"

She just shrugged. She suddenly looks uninterested.

"And he reminds me so much of someone. He reminds me so much of him."

She turned to me in an instant. "So, do you like Minho just because he reminds you of...him?""Eh?"

What she said made me think.

Do I just like Minho because he reminds me of him? What if Minho and the boy weren't alike? Won't I like him? And if Minho doesn't remind me of the boy, won't I befriend him? But since he reminds me of him, shouldn't I create a distance between us? And shouldn't I be hating him?

"Time to eat! Chicken!!!!!!" my thought was cut off by--I don't think I need to mention his name. You probably know who said that. Yeah. Onew. Who else has an obsession with chicken?

* * * * * * * *

"A fairytale party. Does this remind you of something, unnie?" Jihyun whispered to me while we were busy eating. I was so into eating that I almost jumped when I heard her voice.

"Eh?" I asked, dumbfounded.

"A fairytale party! Ring a bell? Remember? This is your dream party!" she whispered cheerfully.

Ahh. Right. This is my dream party. Since I was young, I never really experienced a birthday party, just a simple gathering with the family...when we were still complete.

"But this is your party, Jihyun. Not mine." I cleared out.

"Duh! My party is your party! There wouldn't be a party like this if it weren't for you."

I smiled. I just messed her hair up to show her how touched I was.

We just continued to eat after our conversation.

"Buuuuuuuuuuurp!!! Waaaah! Mashita(delicious)!" I exclaimed after I finished eating.

I scanned the table and realized that they were done eating. Onew, Jonghyun, and pervy were talking. Wah! It's a miracle! Onew's not holding a chicken! Kekeke! And Taemin and Jihyun were also talking.

They're just purely talking, right? They're not talking about something else?

Oh! Where's Minho??

"Have you seen Minho?" I asked Onew, the one closest to me since Minho's vacant chair was beside me.

"Outside." he replied shortly. Maybe he was still ashamed of what happened earlier, but I had already told him a lot of times that it was nothing.

"Eh? Why is he outside?" I ask him again for the sake of conversation.

"Why do you care? He's old enough to care for himself, " pervy snapped at me.

In response, I just twitched my lips and went outside to look for Minho. I heard a "hmph" sound before leaving the restaurant.

I scanned the surroundings and saw Minho sitting on a bench. There was a lamp post, but the bulb wasn't producing any light.

Kekeke. An evil idea came to me.

I slowly crept into his direction, planning to frighten him.

"Booooooh!"

"Uwaaaaaaaaaah!!" I cried my heart out while Minho was laughing his butt out.

"Wahahahaha!! You should have..bwahahahaha...seen yourself!" Minho laughed at me.

I furrowed at him for ruining my evil plan. He turned around and frightened me before I could implement my plan. He made a very frightening, creepy face. Whew!

"I hate you!" I exclaimed while I sat beside him.

"Aww. Ouch." he even touched his heart to complete the act.

"Tss! Fine! I take it back! But I'm still mad! How do you know I was here anyway?" I asked.

"I just know." he answered confidently.

I glared at him.

"Hahaha. Really. The moment you don't see me, I know you'll come looking for me. I'm your responsibility, remember?" he was smiling.

Ahhh..yeah. Minho was supposed to be somewhere else. I just forced him and promised he'd never be bored if he came with us. That's why I was in a hysteria when I didn't see him. If he got bored, it's my fault.

"Ohh. Were you bored?" I tried asking.

He looked behind me before answering. "What do you think?"

"Eh?"

"You promised I wouldn't get bored. But since I was bored, don't you need to do something about it?" he dared.

I just bend my head. So, he was really bored.

"I'm sorry! What should I do? Tell me! Tell me!" I swayed his elbow like a child.

"Hmmm.." he was still staring behind.

"What is it? Tell me! I agree, whatever it is!" I was about to turn and check what he was looking at, but I was stopped by a rigid body and an arm around my shoulders.

"M-Minho. W-what-" I stuttered. I felt myself blushing.

"Hah! I knew it." he whispered while still hugging me.

"Eh?"

I heard him chuckle when he let go of me.

"W-what was that?" I was stuttering again.

"That's what you call a hug." he said matter-of-factly.

All the blushing I felt was gone. Tss! I glared at him. Of course, I know it was a hug!

"I know what it is! I mean, why did you do that?"

"Why? Does it bother you?" Is he teasing me?? But...Does it bother me? "I was just trying to make sure of something." he continued.

"Hah?"

He shook his head. "You should try cleaning your ears." he joked.

I hit his shoulder lightly. "Aw! I said I was trying to make sure of something!" he repeated.

"And that is? I asked, confused.

"Not telling." he zipped his mouth.

"Ya!"

He just smiled.

"Fine! Then does hugging make you sure of that something that you are not telling me?" I tried asking again.

"Hmm. I need to make sure of it some more. But...." he was talking to himself. I didn't hear the rest coz he was already whispering.

"Eh? W-What? Wait, what?" I swear I look so stupid right now.

"Who? Where? When? Why? Hahahaa!" he teased. I glared, but he just stuck his tongue out.

"Let's get in." He dragged me in before I could ask again.

(MINHO'S POV)

"Ohh. Were you bored?" Jewel asked me.

I was about to respond but accidentally landed my gaze on the restaurant door.

"What do you think?" I asked her as I averted my gaze back to her to act as if I hadn't seen him there. But even if I didn't, he still wouldn't notice me looking at him coz it was dark where we were sitting.

"Eh?"

The light was dim, but I could clearly see his face. He looks pissed. Well, Key hyung is always pissed everytime me and Jewel are together. Wait! Was he jealous?

There's only one thing to find out.

"You promised I wouldn't get bored. But since I was bored, don't you need to do something about it?" I was still staring at Key to see exactly his reaction.

"I'm sorry! What should I do? Tell me! Tell me!" she swayed my elbow like a child.

"Hmmm.."

"What is it? Tell me! I agree, whatever it is!" She might have noticed that I kept on staring in the direction where Key was. Before she finally turned, I hugged her.

"M-Minho. W-what-"

"Hah! I knew it." I knew it. When I hugged her, I noticed Key's hand tighten into a fist and his face darken.

"Eh?" Jewel asked, confused. She totally doesn't know anything.

I chuckled, satisfied at what I was, and let her go. I looked back at Key, but he was gone.

"W-what was that?" she stuttered.

"That's what you call a hug." I said matter-of-factly.

She glared at me. "I know what it is! I mean, why did you do that?"

"Why? Does it bother you?" I teased. I feel like teasing since I just found something interesting.

"Hah?"

I shook my head. "You should try cleaning your ears." I joked.

She hit my shoulder lightly. "Aw! I said I was trying to make sure of something!" I repeat.

"And that is? she asked, confused.

"Not telling." I zipped my mouth before I could say something.

"Ya!"

I just smiled. There's no way I'm telling you. You have to find out by yourself. Bleeh.

"Fine! Then does hugging make you sure of that something that you're not telling me?" she tried asking again.

"Hmm. I need to make sure of it some more. But....I think he does." I was more like talking to myself. I lowered my voice for her not to hear what I said.

"Eh? W-What? Wait, what?"

"Who? Where? When? Why? Hahahaa!" I completed the WH questions. She glared, but I just stuck my tongue out.

"Let's get in." I dragged her in before she could ask again and before my mouth would slip.
