Serendipity 奇缘 - Chapter 60 [End]

Chapter 60: Party... It's Party.. Let's Party On!!!!!

Jaejoong: U-know, where are we going?

U-know: You'll find out when we're there. Don't worry. We're not going sell you off to someone else.

Max: Hyung, you've got to trust us.

Jaejoong: Alright.

U-know and Max were both holding to Jaejoong's hands, each on one side. They were afraid that Jaejoong would slip away and run back to Kiki.

After walking for a while, they reached a bridal shop and entered the shop. Jaejoong was very surprised and confused. He could not figure out what was Jaejoong and U-know doing.

Jaejoong: Guys, wait a minute! Why are you bringing me into the bridal shop?

Fianlly, U-know and Max decided that it was time for them to reveal the secret plan to Jaejoong. But, they kept the concept of the wedding from Jaejoong.

U-know: We are getting you ready for the engagement party.

Jaejoong (looking confused): Huh? What engagement party? I thought it is on the last day of our trip?

Max: Nope, Hyung. We think it is better to bring the party forward. Cos, you and Nuna might be too tired to enjoy the fabulous programme that we have.

Jaejoong: Oh, okay. So, where's my jagiya?

U-know: You mean your yeobo?

Jaejoong(shyly): Yeah.

Max: Don't worry about Nuna. She's in good hands with Theo.

U-know: Yeah, you can trust my yeoja chingu. Don't you guys know that she's the best?

Max: Hyung, can you stop being so mushy..... It's giving me goosebumps.

Jaejoong: Yeah. Even I'm having the goosebumps too.

U-know: Jaejoong, don't forget that I've learnt this from you.

Jaejoong: What?!!! Me?? When was I ever that mushy?

U-know and Max (said in unison): When you're with Kiki.

U-know and Max looked at each other and started laughing.

U-know: Oh my..... Great minds think alike.

Max: Yeah.. Hyungs, enough of joking around... We've got to get Jaejoong-hyung all ready by evening or else we won't make it in time for the party. We've got a lot of things to do. Hair, makeup, clothes, shoes.....

U-know: Oh yeah. I almost forget about it.

Then, Max and U-know brought Jaejoong into the fitting room.

When Jaejoong entered the fitting room, he was shocked to see that there's no suit or tuxedo for him to wear. Hanging on the wall was a pair of long and white bridal gown. Jaejoong went out of the fitting room, thinking that U-know and Max had made a mistake.

Jaejoong: Max, U-know. I think you guys made a mistake. Why isn't there any suit or tux for me to wear.

U-know: There is no mistake about it. You're going to wear that bridal gown for the party.

Max: Yeah. I bet it's going to look good on you.

Jaejoong: But... But... I can't possibly be wearing a gown and Kiki wears one too.

Max: Nuna isn't going to wear a gown. She's going to wear a suit.

Jaejoong: What?!!! You mean we are switching our identities for the party!!!!

U-know: Yeah. Isn't that going to be fun? Don't worry. You're going to look beautiful in that gown. And, you've cross dressed for our Vacation drama before. All of us think that you will look great.

Jaejoong: But, this is Kiki and my engagement party. It's like once in a life time. Besides, I want it to be memorable.

Max: Hyung, it's going to be memorable. Think of it in another way. Not every one is game to try out something different from the usual tradition.

Jaejoong: But...

U-know: No more buts. Just go on with it. It's going to be fun.

Before Jaejoong could put up with any resistance, Max and U-know had dragged Jaejoong into the fitting room. Jaejoong had no choice but to admit defeat and follow out the plans that the guys had for him.

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

Kiki and Theo were heading back to the house. Kiki sensed that something was not right.

Kiki: Theo, I thought you wanted to show me that pair of skirt that you're eyeing?

Theo: Oh. I suddenly decided that I don't really like it.

Kiki: Huh? You're really very fickle minded. I hope you're not that fickle when it comes to U-know.

Theo: I won't be.

When the girls entered the house, Kiki was surprised to see unfamiliar faces. She stopped Theo from walking any further towards the "strangers".

Kiki (whispering to Theo): Theo, could this people be burglars? Or even worse, Cassiopiea had found out about us, and they are here for revenge.

Theo (whispered back to Kiki): Relax, Kiki. They are just the make up artist and hair stylist.

Theo pulled Kiki in the direction of the "strangers".

Kiki: Huh? Why are those people doing here?

Then, Theo made Kiki sit on a chair. And, the hair stylist started to work on Kiki's hair.

Theo: They are here to get you all dressed up for the party.

Kiki was feeling very confused now. She thought that they were supposed to be having games. But, instead, there was a party that was going to take place.

Kiki: What party?

Theo: Jaejoong and your engagement party. We plan to give you a surprise. We thought that you guys will be too tired to enjoy yourselves after the games.

Kiki: Oh, that's so sweet of you guys. And, by the way, where's Jaejoong?

Theo: Jaejoong? He's with the guys. We decided to separate you guys, so Jaejoong will get some sort of surprise when he sees you at the party.

Kiki: Okay.

Kiki seated on the chair patiently, allowing the hair stylist to style her hair, placing bobby pins and spraying loads of hair spray on her hair. The stylist had bunned up her hair nicely into a classy bun. After that, the makeup artist started to work on Kiki's face, giving her a natural sun kissed look. When the stylist and makeup artist had finished their work, they left the house.

Theo: Kiki, we're finally done. Why don't you go into the room and get dressed while I get myself ready for the party too. I think you can manage right?

Kiki: Yeah, don't worry about me. I can handle it myself.

Kiki entered the room, expecting to be seeing either a bridal gown or a pair of dress. To her surprise, she saw a set of suit that was hanging on the cupboard. She left the room to find Theo.

Kiki: Theo!! Where are you?

Theo: I'm here. In my room.

Kiki entered Theo's room.

Kiki: Why is there a suit in my room? Shouldn't it be some sort of dress?

Theo: You're supposed to wear that for the party. I think you'll look really suave in it.

Kiki: But, I'm the so called "bride". Shouldn't I be at least wearing something feminine? And, what's Jaejoong wearing?

Theo: Oh, I forgot to tell you something. Erm... You see. Jaejoong is wearing the bridal gown, while you wear the suit.

Kiki: Huh? Are you serious?

Theo: Yeah.

Kiki: But, isn't it weird?

Theo: Nope. It's going to be fun. Believe me.

Kiki: I know that Jaejoong would look much prettier than me in a gown. But, isn't it a little too extreme?

Theo: It's something memorable. Don't you want your engagement party to be special? After all, it's once in a life time.

Kiki was feeling a little doubtful. She did not know if Jaejoong was going to be happy about it.

Kiki: I'm fine with it. But, I'm worried that Jaejoong might not like the idea.

Theo: Don't worry. U-know just texted me. He said that everything is going smoothly over at his side. Jaejoong had no choice but to succumb to U-know's and Max's order. Hahahah....

Kiki: Oh. Okay.

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

Xiah, Micky and Fifi were busy decorating the function room that they had booked. White ribbons, laces, cloth, and even roses were shrew all on the floor around the whole room.

Fifi: Guys, there isn't much time left. So, we need to hurry up. I still have to get dressed and do my hair and makeup. Micky, are you done with the arch? And, can you tell Junsu to be quick with the back drop?

Fifi was decorating the chairs while Micky was working on the arch and Xiah on the backdrop.

Micky: I'm almost done. Junsu ya, are you close to do yet?

Xiah: Yeah.

Xiah looked at his watch, and there was only an hour and a half left before the rest started coming in.

Xiah: Fifi, why don't you go back to the house and get ready? You can leave the place here to Micky and I.

Fifi was still feeling a little jealous of the incident that happened earlier, and she did not feel like talking to Xiah at all.

Fifi (continued with her work): It's alright. I will leave together with you guys.

Micky: Fifi, you can really leave the place to the both of us. Girls need much more than to get ready than us guys.

Fifi: Nah, I don't really need that much time to get ready. Anyway, I'm not the main star of tonight.

Xiah stopped what he was doing, and walked up to Fifi. He then stopped Fifi from what she was doing and started to push her from her back to head towards the exit.

Xiah: Fifi, go and get changed now. We can handle this.

Fifi was rather irritated by Xiah.

Fifi: I've brought my clothes and makeup along. I can get changed in the toilet later. You don't have to worry about me. So, can I continue with my work?

Xiah's thoughts: Why is Fifi becoming so cold all of a sudden? What's wrong with her? Maybe it's the stress of finishing everything on time.

Xiah: Oh, okay. If you need anything......

Before Xiah could finish his sentence, Fifi walked away and she was back to her work.

Fifi: Micky, is the sound system all done? And, those music that we are using for the party, is it all prepared?

Micky: I've checked the sound system. It's fine. But, the music, I haven't had the time to prepare it.

Xiah: Why don't I do it? Anyway, I'm almost done with the backdrop.

Fifi: Oh. Alright.

About, an hour before the rest arrived, everything is completed.

Right in the front of the room was a small little stage. The back drop was in a shade of baby pink and it had the words, " Jaejoong and Kiki" printed on it. The backdrop also had 2 hearts, which were made up of white roses, which encircled the words. A distance away from the stage, there was an arch decorated with pink roses. From the main door to the arch, there was a long stretch of white silk cloth. This path was meant for Kiki and Jaejoong to walk on when they make their grand entrance. The chairs, which were clothed in white silk with a pale pink ribbon tied at the back, in the room were arrange in a semi circle.

Xiah (makes his dolphin sound): YIPPEE!!!!! We're done. We'd better get ourselves ready.

Fifi: Then, I'll see you guys later. I've got to go now. Bye.

Fifi left the room.

Xiah: Micky, what's wrong with Fifi? Why does she feel so weird today? It seems like she is ignoring us.

Micky: I don't think she is ignoring ME. I think it's YOU that she is ignoring.

Xiah: Why? What happened?

Micky: Ya, Kim Junsu, don't tell me that you don't know?

Xiah (confused): Nope.

Micky: She's jealous.

Xiah (scratches his head): Why? I don't get it.

Micky: That girl earlier. Don't you remember talking to her in such friendly terms?

Xiah: Oh, you mean Julieang? But, why?

Micky: YA! KIM JUNSU! Are you really a dolphin or what? Don't you get it? Fifi likes you that's why she is jealous. And, it's that simple.

Xiah: Huh? Are you serious? Fifi likes me? YAY!!! YIPPEEE!!!!!!

Xiah's thoughts: Fifi likes me? Hahahahah.... I'm so happy!!!!! I can't believe it.

Xiah started to pranced around the room.

Micky: Sigh... That dolphin.

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

Jaejoong and Kiki entered the function room, with her hands holding his arm. In the background, "Miduhyo" was played as the couple entered the room. Every one was standing on either side of the aisle, and clapping.

While walking in through the entrance, Kiki tried so hard to stop herself from laughing. Jaejoong looked so beautiful in the dress.

Kiki's thoughts: Oh my... How can a guy look so beautiful despite wearing a gown? I don't even think I can look as beautiful as him... I'm so lucky to have a guy that have both femininity and masculinity.

Jaejoong was pretty amused by Kiki's outfit too. He thought Kiki was really beautiful even though she was not in a dress.

Jaejoong's thoughts: My jagiya never fails to surprise me. I thought she will look weird wearing a suit. But, she carries the look very well. It really suits her. It brings out her strong side as a woman. Now, I will have another reason to love her even more.

The couple walked on the white silk cloth. Then, they stood underneath the arch.

Jaejoong (holding Kiki's hands): I know how crazy Cassiopieans can be, so I know it might be hard for you. I don't know how things will be like in the future. But no matter what happens, you will always have the first place yeogi,(points to his heart)... in my heart. I will love you forever and ever... Yongwonhi... Yak-ssok... Sarangheyo.... And, you look beautiful no matter what you are wearing...

Kiki: I know how crazy cassiopieas can be too... Cos don't forget I am one too. But I'm not korean. So I'm not sooo crazy. But miduhyo... I'll be strong for you... Cos.... Sarangheyo!!!

Then, Jaejoong gave Kiki as kiss on her cheeks.

After the couple had done their love confession to each other, the rest of TVXQ went up to the stage to dedicate a song for the couple, while the couple were allowed to sit down and rest. They sang a series of songs in accapella. They sang "Forever Love", "Proud" and "My Little Princess".

When the performance was finished, dinner was next in line.

Max: Yay! It's dinner time.

Max was really happy that the whole ceremony was done. Everyone was seated on the table.

Jaejoong: Max, how can you only think of food now? It's your Hyung's engagement party.

Jaejoong gave Max a "one touch" on Max's arm.

Max: Hyung!!

Max lifted his hands. He wanted to hit Jaejoong too. Jaejoong was in a defensive X pose, all ready to fend off the attacker. But, Max resisted. Max knew that it was Jaejoong's big day, and he didn't want to ruin Jaejoong's day by hitting him.

Max: I'll let you off this time.

Kiki was rather amused by Jaejoong's action.

Kiki (smiling to herself): Jaejoong, you never fail to amuse me... You hit Max and expect him to not retaliate? And then immediately worry and start to defend yourself? Ha ha ha...

Theo: Guys, can we eat now? The food's turning cold.

U-know: Yeah. Ppalli. We still have my favourite dance segment later.

After dinner, romantic ballads music was played to allow the couples to dance.

Jaejoong (stretched his hand out): Kiki, may I have a dance with you.

Kiki (places her hands on Jaejoong's hand): Yes.

Kiki allowed Jaejoong to lead her to the dance floor. Kiki's hands were around Jaejoong's arms and Jaejoong's was on Kiki's waist. They danced to the tempo of the music.

Jaejoong (whispering into Kiki's ear): Kamsa hamnida for making me the happiest man on earth...

Kiki (whispering back into Jaejoong's ear): Joongie-ah... Sarangheyo...

Kiki closed her eyes and leaned on Jaejoong's chest, allowing him to lead her as they danced.

U-know: Theo, let's dance.

Theo: Okay.

U-know and Theo, too, left the table and headed towards the dance floor. They wrapped their arms around each other's body, and moved gracefully with the music.

Seeing that his Hyungs had the chance to dance with their yeoja chingu and fiancé, he too wanted to dance with Fifi.

Xiah got up from his chair and walked towards Fifi.

Xiah (stretched out his hands): May I have the honour to have a dance with you?

After going through the ceremony for Jaejoong's and Kiki's engagement, Fifi too wanted to have that special one.

Fifi: Erm....

Micky: Just grant his request. Can't you see how much he wants to dance with you?

Max: Just say yes.

Fifi: But.....

Micky: If not, do you want another 2 choices. Max or me?

Fifi: Erm..... Alright... In this case, I'd rather choose to dance Junsu...

Fifi, too left for the dance floor with Xiah.

Max: What does she mean by that man!!! Are we THAT bad?

Micky: Anio Changminnie... I don't know about you... But I'M TOO GOOD for her...

Micky escapes to the dance floor, leaving Max at the table, who scurries to run after Micky to try to hit him.

Serendipity 奇缘 - Chapter 59

Chapter 59: Engagement Prelude

Both Fifi and Theo were in their room, lying on their beds.

Fifi: Ah! I finally thought of something interesting for the engagement party. Theo, do you want to hear about it?

Theo was pretty tired after a long day of touring round the island. She was not interested in what was Fifi saying. All she wanted to do was have a good night's rest, and that was it.

Theo: Erm... NO!

Fifi: Pretty please. I think every one's asleep by now. So, it's only you that I can tell that to. I think we could have the same concept as the show, "It Started With a Kiss". So, Theo, what do you think of this idea? Good?

No reply.

Fifi: Theo? Are you asleep yet?

Still no reply.

Fifi got up from her bed, and headed towards Theo's bed. She leaned over and check whether if Theo's asleep. In fact, Theo was already fast asleep. But, Fifi really wanted to hear some comments about her plans. Thus, she did not care if Theo was going to scold her if she woke Theo up from her sleep.

Fifi tapped Theo's shoulders.

Fifi: Theo??!! Are you really asleep? Can you not sleep first?

Theo was woken up. Now, she was really very angry and pissed.

Theo (irritated): FIFI!!!! What are you trying to do? Can't you see that I'm sleeping?

Fifi: But..... I thought you were pretending to be asleep. So... I ...

Theo (sounded serious): So, can I sleep now? And, don't you dare wake me up again until the next morning.

Before Theo went back to sleep, she glared at Fifi, making sure that Fifi understood Theo's meaning.

Fifi's thought: Sigh.... Now that every one's asleep, who's going to hear if my idea was going to be good? Ah, I know. I shall go to Xiah and Micky's room. I think they might be still awake. Maybe Micky is still working on his music.

Fifi went over to the guys' room and knocked on their door.

*Knock Knock*

Micky: Who's that?

Fifi: Me. Can I come in?

Xiah: Fifi??!!!! Yeah, sure.

Fifi entered the room.

Xiah was lying on his bed, listening to his Ipod. While Micky was on the desk, working on his labtop.

Once Fifi entered, Xiah immediately sat up, and started to adjust his hair, making sure that his hair was not in a mess. Micky turned around.

Xiah: Fifi, why are you still up at such a late hour? What's the matter?

Fifi: Nothing. I just thought of something for the party. And, I think it's going fun. Theo is sleeping, and doesn't want to hear my ideas at all. So, I thought you guys might be still awake. Since, you guys are the ones planning the party with me, I should share my idea with you.

Xiah's thoughts: YAY! Fifi's not leaving me out of the party planning. I'm so happy.

Micky: So, what's your idea?

Xiah: Micky ya. How can you let a girl stand at the door while we are all comfortably seated down?

Micky: Oh, I forgot. Fifi, why don't you sit on the bed?

Fifi seated herself comfortably on Micky's bed.

Fifi: Oh yeah. As I was saying, I thought of a new concept for the engagement. We can have something that is so not traditional, something that is out of the box. It would be like a cross-dressed party. Kiki could be dressed smartly in a tux while Jaejoong could be in a long, flowy gown. How does that sounds? Interesting?

Xiah and Micky had doubts about it.

Xiah: Erm.... Does that mean that all the guys will have to dress up as girls?

Micky: I don't want to be wearing a skirt.

Fifi: No... No... No... It's only Jaejoong and Kiki who are going to dressed up differently. The rest of us can just wear our normal clothes.

Micky: That sounds interesting. I think we should definitely do this.

Xiah: But, we can't tell Jaejoong-hyung and Kiki about this. I think that they are going to protest. So, we can only reveal it on the actual day.

Micky: Oh yeah. Why don't we bring it forward? Like have it tomorrow night?

Fifi: Why?

Micky: If we had games first, then it would be too tiring.

Xiah: Huh? So, you are cutting down on my games? Then what about all the planning that I've done?

Micky: No, I mean bring the party forward, and not cut down on your games. You get what I mean?

Xiah: Oh. Okay.

Fifi: Why not we get the rest of them up and ask them for their suggestion?

Micky: Okay. You go get Theo while Junsu and I get U-know and Max. We will meet back in my room here. Okay?

Fifi: Alright.

The trio went on with their mission.

After some time, everyone had gathered in Xiah and Micky's room, with the exception of Kiki and Jaejoong.

Theo(grumbled): Why are we all gathering here? It's so late and I want to sleep.

U-know: Yeah. What's so important that you guys can't tell us in the morning?

Micky: Guys, it's really something very important. I promised that this is going to be quick.

Max: Okay. Hyung, you better make it quick.

Micky: Okay. Fifi was thinking of having Kiki and Jaejoong do a switch in their clothes during the party, but they will not be aware of it. And, they would think that the party is going to be on the last day here on the island. But, we are going to have it tomorrow night.

Before Micky even finished his sentence, Theo had already fallen asleep. She was sleeping on U-know's lap and U-know could not bear to wake her up.

U-know: Hmmm.... Okay. This sounds exciting. I have no objections. But before we continue, can I carry Theo back to her room first?

Max: Hyung, there's no time for you to do that. You can just let her sleep here, while we discuss. We all want to sleep.

U-know: Oh. Okay.

Fifi: But, what are we going to do in the day?

Max: That's easy. U-know-hyung can say that there are still places that we haven't visit yet. So, we can continue touring.

Xiah: Huh? I thought we were going to have games?

Micky: Ya, Junsu. Why are always thinking about your games?

Xiah: I'm really proud to plan the games by myself.

Max: Hyung, we have to be on track. We can't stray.

U-know: Why don't we have a shopping trip in the morning? We can say that this is for us to shop for clothes for the party or even casual shopping. Then, we will have games after lunch. How does that sounds?

Fifi: SHOPPING??? I'd love to.

Xiah, Micky, Max: We're fine with that.

U-know: Then after that, Theo will be in charge of getting Kiki ready for the wedding. While, Max and I will get Jaejoong ready. And, Junsu, Micky and Fifi can get the venue and other stuffs needed for the party. Everyone fine with the arrangements?

All: Yeah.

All of them then discuss the detailed plan for the wedding.

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

Everyone was sitting at the dinning table, having their breakfast.

Jaejoong: So, what's our plan for today? Are we going to have a free-and-easy day, so I can spent some private time with my Kiki?

U-know: Sort of. We're going to be shopping on the morning. And, after lunch, we would be having games.

Jaejoong (grumbling): Games? Are you serious? That means I can't spend time with Kiki.

Xiah: Hyung, I took a lot of effort to come up with the games. And, don't you worry, you're going to enjoy your time today. I'm sure of that.

Jaejoong: You better make the day unforgettable or else I won't let you off. Hahahaha.....

Micky: If you don't trust Junsu, at least trust Fifi and I. We did give some comments on his games. So, it definitely won't be solely on soccer. Anyway, there aren't many shops.

Kiki: But, can we cut down on the games and just go shopping for the whole day? I'm really quite a shopaholic. One morning isn't going to be enough for me.

Max: Nuna, don't worry. The time is definitely enough. Trust me.

Theo: Anyway, I think shopping is quite meaningless at times.

Fifi: Sigh... You and your shopping theory. I wonder what interests you. Is it only U-know and food?

Theo: Whatever.....

After the guys finished their breakfast, they set off to the downtown area at around 10 in the morning.

U-know: So, we do our own free and easy shopping, then we'll meet back here at around one and we'll go for lunch. And, guys, remember what you are supposed to do....

All: Okay.

Jaejoong and Kiki were confused.

Kiki: Chotto (Wait)... What are we supposed to do, U-know?

Jaejoong: Are we supposed to buy something special? Are you guys are supposed to shop for our engagement gift?

U-know: Erm... Erm... Yeah... Sort of....

Kiki and Jaejoong, U-know and Theo, left by themselves , leaving the rest standing there.

Fifi: Girls, wait for me. Aren't you girls supposed to be shopping with me? Why are you going off with your namja chingus? And leaving your yeoja chingu here?

Kiki stopped and turned around.

Kiki: Sorry Fifi, I want to spend more time with Jaejoong. And, you have 3 guys to accompany you.

Kiki then left with Jaejoong, with Kiki holding on to Jaejoong's arms.

Next, it was Theo who turned back.

Theo: Sorry, girl. My namja chingu is more important. Bye. Have fun.

Theo, too, went off with U-know, holding his hands.

Fifi (grumbling angrily): Argh... You girls are so mean.... Leaving your chingu alone for your guys... ARGH!!!! I can't believe this.

Xiah: You don't have to be so upset. There's still me here to accompany you...

Micky: What? Did I hear that you want to accompany Fifi and leave Max and I alone?

Xiah: Erm..... Erm... What I mean was the 3 of us.

Max: Really? I thought I heard something like....

Before Max could spout out any more nonsense, Xiah went up to him. And, Xiah quickly covered Max's mouth.

Xiah: Come on, let's shop for a while before we start preparing for the party.

Xiah tried to change the topic to save himself out of the embarrassing situation.

Fifi: Sigh... How am I supposed to enjoy my shopping spree with 3 guys here who don't know anything about the art of shopping.

Micky: Hey, don't belittle us. We have a good sense for fashion. Maybe, except for Junsu.

Xiah: YA!! PARK YOOCHUN!!!! I do have a good sense of fashion alright.

Max: Whatever. Fifi, let's ignore these 2 guys and start shopping.

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

Jaejoong and Kiki were going from one shop to another, each of them carrying almost 5 shopping bags in each hand. Both of them really had a fruitful shopping trip.

As they were walking down the streets, a pair of boots on display caught Kiki's attention. She stopped and pulled Jaejoong to look at the boots.

Kiki: Joongie, quick. Come and see this pair of boots in the shop front which is on display! Don't you think that this look fabulous? I've already been searching for this kind of boots for very long.

Then, Kiki pulled Jaejoong into the shop before he could even reply. She went up to the sales girl and ask for assistance to try on the pair of boots. Then, she placed herself comfortably on the sofa. And, Jaejoong sat beside her.

After a while, the sales girl came back with the pair of boots and Kiki tried it on. Then, she stood up and walked towards the mirror.

Kiki: Joongie, how does this look?

Jaejoong went towards Kiki and stood behind her. He, then, placed his face so close to hers.

Jaejoong (whispering into her ears): You'll look beautiful in anything...

Kiki: Kombawayo, Joongie. You think I should get this?

Jaejoong: Yeah. And, I want a pair of boots to match yours. Why don't we each get a pair of lover's boots?

Kiki: But, the one I'm wearing is a pair of lady boots. How can they have your size?

Jaejoong: Don't you know that girls these days have big feet? Maybe, I can wear the biggest size in the store. Or, I can find something similar.

Jaejoong turned to ask the sales girls to ask her for the biggest size.

Sales girl: Sir, this is a pair of unisex boots. So, I think the biggest size could fit you.

Jaejoong: Oh, then I'll take size 10.5 please.

Jaejoong tried the pair of shoes, and it fit perfectly. Jaejoong and Kiki wore the pair of newly bought boots out of the store and continued with their shopping trip.

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

U-know and Theo were at the clothing store.

Theo was browsing through the rack where the dresses were. She was hoping that she could find a pair of short dress for the party tonight. U-know was standing beside her, monitoring the type of dresses that she had chosen. Every pair of dress that Theo had set her eyes on was rejected by U-know. He would either say that the dress was too short or it was too revealing. Theo was rather frustrated. She was someone who was very fond of wearing skirts or dresses that are above her knee. But, U-know insisted that she find a pair of dress that was covering her knees.

At last, Theo found a pair of dress that she really liked. She did not care if U-know was going to reject his offer.

Theo: U-know, I don't care if you are going to reject this or not. But, I'm going to try it.

Theo headed off to the fitting room, without letting U-know have a single look at the dress.

U-know: Wait. I haven't even see the dress yet.

After a while, Theo came out from the fitting room. The dress was a simple purple tube dress with black trimmings. It was mid-thigh length. However, U-know was definitely not going to let her wear that dress. It was too short according to U-know's standards.

U-know: Theo, this dress is really too short. I don't think you should wear it.

Theo: But, I really like it. And, it's flattering.

U-know: If you really like it, you can buy it. But, on one condition.

Theo: What?

U-know: You must wear either a pair of long pants or leggings underneath the dress. I think you would look better. And, I like girls to wear a pair of long pants underneath. It makes them look refined.

Theo: But, this style is just not me. Please, U-know. Can I buy it? Please..... I promised that after that, I would not buy any skirts or dress that is above knee length.

U-know: Hmmm...... Alright.

Theo: Thank you. You're the best namja chingu.

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

At Xiah, Micky, Max and Fifi's side...

Fifi had bought quite a number of stuffs, and Xiah had voluntarily agreed to help her carry her stuff.

As the group were walking down the streets, they walked pass a girl. But, the girl called Xiah's name out of the blue.

Girl: Kim Junsu?

Xiah turned back, and the girl was someone that he knew.

He started to walk toward the girl, leaving the rest behind.

Xiah: Julieang?!!! I haven't seen you for such a long time. How have you been?

Fifi was feeling jealous all of a sudden. It seems that Xiah was rather friendly with the girl. Xiah continued to talk to the girl while the rest waited for him some distance away.

Fifi's thoughts: Who's this girl? And why is Junsu so friendly towards her... Argh... I don't really like this. Wait. Why am I getting all jealous now. I shouldn't be.

Fifi (whispering to Micky and Max): Do you guys know that girl? Junsu seems to be on very good terms with her.

Max: Nope. I think it might be his high school classmates or friend.

Micky: Fifi, do I smell something sourish? Are you jealous?

Fifi (tried to sound nonchalant): Jealous? Me? How can it be? Why would I be jealous?

Micky: Really?

Fifi: Yeah. Guys, why don't you wait for Junsu while I continue with my shopping? I don't think you guys will be interested in going with me. Bye.

Fifi continued with her shopping, leaving the guys to wait for Xiah.

Micky: I think Fifi is jealous.

Max: But, why? Junsu is just talking to his friend.

Micky: Oh my. Max, don't you get it? Fifi likes Junsu.

Max: Really? I didn't know that.

Micky: I think I better tell Junsu that Fifi had left.

Micky went up to Xiah and told him that Fifi had long gone.

Xiah: Sorry, Julieang. I'll talk to you another day. I've got to go. Bye.

Girl: Bye. Remember to keep in contact.

The guys went after Fifi. Xiah was the fastest one of them all. He caught up with Fifi within a short period of time.

Xiah: Fifi, why did you leave without telling me? I'm supposed to carry your shopping bags for today. Don't you remember it?

Fifi (pretended not to see Xiah): Erm.. I do remember.

After she finished her sentence, she continued walking, ignoring Xiah.

Xiah: Fifi, wait for me!!!!

Xiah walked as fast as he could, trailing behind Fifi.

Micky (screamed as he ran): JUNSU!!! FIFI!!! DON'T GO TOO FAR!!! WE'RE SUPPOSED TO MEET THE REST FOR LUNCH NOW!!!!

Fifi stopped walking, and turned around. She walked pass Xiah and towards Micky and Max.

Xiah's thought: What is Fifi thinking? Why is she ignoring me? Sigh... I can't figure this out.

Xiah followed Fifi as he tried to figure out what was happening.

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

Everyone had gathered back at the restaurant, enjoying their lunch. After finishing their dessert, their plan was put into action.

Micky: Guys, Junsu, Fifi and I need to do some preparations for the games. You guys can stay here for a while before coming back.

Xiah, Micky and Fifi then left the restaurant. At this moment, Jaejoong and Kiki were unaware that the party was going to take place in the evening.

U-know gave a signal to Max and Theo, making sure that they know what they are supposed to do.

U-know: Jaejoong, I need you to come somewhere with me before we start on the games. So, can we leave now?

Jaejoong: But... How about Kiki?

Kiki: It's alright, Jaejoong. I'll be fine. I still have Theo to accompany me.

Jaejoong: Are you sure that you don't need me to accompany you?

Kiki: Yeah. You can go ahead.

U-know: Oh yeah. Max, I need your help too. Let's go.

U-know led Jaejoong and Max out of the restaurant. They were heading towards the direction of the bridal shop.

After the guys left, Theo waited for a while before suggesting to leave the restaurant.

Theo: Kiki, I need you to help me see a dress. I don't know if it's nice.

Kiki: Sure. Why not?

The girls left the restaurant too. But, they were heading back to the house, where the make up artist was waiting for them to arrive.

Serendipity 奇缘 - Chapter 58

Chapter 58: Ohaiyo!!!

It was 5am in the morning. And Kiki stretched herself lazily as she opened her eyes slowly. She noticed that something was around her waist, she looked down into the quilt and realised that it was Jaejoong's arms around her. She turned herself around to face him. Kiki rolled over, placing her chin on his chest and looked at him, still asleep.

Kiki's thoughts: He was such a sweet guy. Very cute and adorable. Always capable of making me laugh. And those LONG eyelashes... sultry, smoky, electrifying eyes... How can a girl resist those! I can't help congratulating myself on getting such a great hubby. He was all I wanted in a nutshell. Talented, and all...I just love him to bits!

Jaejoong: Jagiya... What are you smiling about so early in the morning?

Jaejoong's voice broke through Kiki's thoughts. He reached out and pinched her nose.

Kiki: Nothing… Morning sleepy head.

Kiki snuggled up into Jaejoong's arms.

Kiki: What do you wanna do now?

Jaejoong: Well.. I dunno, have breakfast in bed, then a walk on the beach, some sight-seeing. And shopping with you, catch a movie too. Then coming back here, and hugging you to sleep! How's that?!

A cheeky smile flashed across Jaejoong's face as he said that.

Kiki: I meant now as in do we need to get up and make breakfast? Cos they didn't say anything about the itinerary today...

Jaejoong: Do we HAVE to follow what the rest plan?

Kiki: I think we'd better... They spent so much time planning it, it won't be nice if we skipped... This is after all more for us than for them...

Jaejoong: I know... But like you said it's for US... How come there's no alone time for US?

Kiki shrugged her shoulders.

Kiki: Time is short... So I guess not...

Jaejoong pouted and made an unsatisfied face. Kiki got up from the bed and sat up.

Kiki: Ha ha... Alright... We get up now and see if the rest are awake... If they are still sleeping then we can go out for a stroll at the beach and watch sunrise first before coming back with breakfast for the rest...

Jaejoong: *sigh* Hontoni????!!!! (REALLY????!!!)

Jaejoong shot up from the bed and grabbed Kiki by her shoulders and looked excitedly into her eyes. Kiki nodded her head.

Jaejoong: YEAH!!!! I'll go check now!!!!

Jaejoong jumped out of the bed and dashed out of the room.

Kiki (shaking her head): Aish~ Joongie... You dork...

Kiki could hear Jaejoong knocking on all the room doors hurriedly, then Jaejoong ran back in less than 5 minutes' time and dashed towards the bed, landing just in front of Kiki and propping his head on her lap.

Jaejoong: No one's awake yet. Kajang!!! (Let's go!!)

Kiki: Matte (Wait)... At least let me get changed and wash up first... My hair's a mess...

Jaejoong: You look fine...

Kiki got up and walked towards the mirror in the room and took a look at the mirror. Her hair looked like a bomb just hit her, flying up like mad. Jaejoong got up from the bed and followed her to the mirror.

Kiki: You call THIS fine? (pointing at her own crazy bedhair)

Jaejoong: Ne... You look cute like this...

Jaejoong hugs her from behind and looks at her in the mirror.

Kiki: No I don't... Let go and let me go wash up first...

Jaejoong: We don't have time...

Kiki: I'll be very fast... Just let me go now...

Jaejoong swiped Kiki off her feet into his arms immediately.

Kiki: What are you doing?!!!!

Jaejoong: This is faster... I'll go with you...

Kiki: YAH!!!!! Joongie!!!!

Jaejoong: Shhhh... Don't scream, don't want to wake the rest...

Jaejoong ran towards the bathroom with Kiki in his arms. And placed her down once they were inside. Kiki brushed her teeth and rinsed her face. Then she tried to wet her hair slightly to calm it down. But it wasn't working. After 5 minutes, Jaejoong was already impatient from waiting.

Jaejoong: Jagiya, are you done yet?

Kiki: My hair's not flattening... It's still very puffy... I think I need to shampoo it...

Jaejoong: WHAT???!!!!

Kiki: Shampoo my hair...

Jaejoong: ANDWAE!!!! You're coming with me now...

He swiped her into his arms again, and ran back into their room. He put Kiki down and rummaged his bag and pulled out a beanie. He ran over to Kiki and pulled his beanie over her head.

Jaejoong: Yeogi! You look fine already... Let's just change into some more presentable clothes and we can leave...

Kiki looked uncertainly at the beanie over her hair.

Kiki: You sure about this?

Jaejoong nodded his head repeatedly while grabbing clothes out from the cupboard for himself and Kiki.

Jaejoong: Here! Change into this... (pushing a set of clothes into Kiki's hands)

Then he took off his t-shirt. Kiki shut her eyes immediately.

Kiki: Wait... Let me go out first... I'm going to change in the bathroom...

Jaejoong leaned over and whispered into Kiki's ears.

Jaejoong: No time... Change here... I won't peep...

Kiki shook her head reluctantly.

Jaejoong: Or you want me to help you...

He placed his hand on Kiki's shoulder. Immediately she opened her eyes and took several steps away.

Kiki: You stand there and face the wall when you change...

Jaejoong smiled and walked over to face the wall as he changed. Once Kiki was sure he wasn't looking, she took off her t-shirt and shorts and changed into the clothes Jaejoong picked out.

Jaejoong: Let me know when you're done...

Kiki got a shock when she heard Jaejoong speak. She thought he has turned again. So she turned around to see if he was peeping. He wasn't.

Kiki's thoughts: Thank god you keep your promises...

Kiki hurriedly got dressed.

Kiki: I'm done...

Jaejoong: Okay... Kajang...

And he grabbed Kiki's hand and pulled her out of the house towards the beach. They reached the beach where the sand was so fine and white as snow, and the sea water was so clear that the bottom could be seen. The sun had just started rising from the horizon, and it made the water a mixture of orange and purple, while the surface glistened in the light. The sight took Kiki's breath away.

Kiki: Wow... It's so beautiful...

Kiki slipped out of her slippers and stepped on the fine white sand. The sensation was incredible. She walked towards the water, Jaejoong let her let go of his hand as she walked towards the water. He looked at her as she walked to the water. The sea breeze blew lightly at her face. Her hair was safely tucked inside his beanie. She looked so cute wearing shorts and walking barefoot on the beach with a beanie over her head, early in the morning at sunrise.

He walked over to Kiki and embraced her into his arms, resting his chin on her shoulder.

Kiki: Isn't this the most beautiful thing you've ever seen?

Jaejoong turned slightly to look at Kiki. Her eyes looked blissful and the corner of her lips curved ever so slightly, forming a "hidden kiss" at the corner of her mouth. He leaned in and gave her a kiss on the corner of her mouth.

Jaejoong: Ne...

He turned her face over to face him.

Jaejoong: You are...

Then he leaned in and engulfed her lips with his. Slowly Kiki gave in to the kiss, and she turned herself so that he had better access to her lips. He embraced her back into his arms and slowly parted her lips with his tongue, turning the kiss into a passionate French kiss. Kiki placed her hands around Jaejoong's neck and grabbed his hair softly.

By the time they parted from their kiss, the sun had already risen up and they could feel the warm rays of the morning sun on their skin. Jaejoong rested his forehead on Kiki's and looked into her eyes and smiled.

Jaejoong: Hungry?

Kiki nodded her head. Jaejoong gave another peck on Kiki's cheeks that were already blushing red from the kissing and the sun, and took her hand in his and led her back towards the resort to get some breakfast.

They strolled hand in hand to the restaurant.

Waiter: Table for two sir?

Jaejoong: Ne...

Waiter: This way please...

Jaejoong: Kamsahamnida...

The waiter led them to a table with a sea view, and left after getting their orders for beverages.

Jaejoong: What would you like to eat? I'll get it for you...

Kiki: No need... I'll get it myself...

Jaejoong: You don't want me to serve you?

Kiki: No need... I have hands and feet... I can do it myself...

Jaejoong: I thought I was your humble servant?

Kiki: Ha ha ha... Yeah... But you're just a dishwasher... You don't have to wait on me... Don't make me sound like a tyrant mistress...

Jaejoong: But I'd love to wait on you...

Jaejoong reaches his hand over and grasped Kiki's hand tightly, while looking at her lovingly.

Kiki: I'm going to get my food now...

Kiki gets up and walks away towards the buffet spread.

Jaejoong: Hey, wait up...

Jaejoong dashed out of his seat after Kiki, and grabs her hand. And Jaejoong refused to let go of her hand when she wanted to grab a plate for her food.

Jaejoong: I'll hold the plate for you, you take whatever you want...

So they went around taking the food like Siamese twins, with Jaejoong holding the plate for Kiki, and Kiki picking the food. When the plate was full, they walked back to the table. Kiki sat down.

Kiki: Aren't you gonna get some for yourself?

Jaejoong: I'll eat from your plate... Then we can go and get more together when we're done...

And he took his fork and stole a sausage from Kiki's plate. Kiki smiled as she looked at him enjoy the food from her plate.

Kiki's thoughts: Babo...

Jaejoong: Stop thinking of me, and eat... I'm just sitting in front of you... You can just look at me... No need to think so hard...

Kiki: Who said I was thinking of you?

Jaejoong: Then who are you thinking of? If it's not me?

Kiki (straight-faced): Well... In fact... I WAS thinking of someone else...

Jaejoong looked at her in surprise.

Jaejoong: Really? You're thinking of another guy and not me? Who is it?!!! Tell me!!! I'm gonna murder that guy!!!

Kiki (matter-of-factly): No need to be so violent... It's someone you know too...

Jaejoong: WHAT? Don't tell me it's... Don't tell me you're thinking of one of TVXQ's members...

Kiki: Yeah....

Jaejoong: I knew it!!! It must be that dandy boy Park Yoochun!!! He's got so many girlfriends, and still wants to steal mine.... That traitor!!!

Kiki: Calm down... People are looking at you...

Kiki looked around to see if there were anyone around. It was so early no guests were around except the two of them.

Jaejoong: How dare he steal his hyung's girlfriend!!!!

Kiki burst out laughing.

Kiki: Calm down Joongie... I'm just playing with you... I was thinking of the rest, if they were awake yet, and if they were hungry... That's all...

Jaejoong: So you're not thinking of Yoochun?

Kiki: Well strictly speaking, in a way I was... Since he IS one of THE REST... But it's not like what you were blabbering about... No one is going to steal me away from you...

Jaejoong: Promise?

Kiki: Yeah... Promise...

Jaejoong heaved a sigh of relief.

Kiki: Unless I want them to...

Jaejoong: Kiki!!!!

Kiki giggled again.

Kiki: Just kidding... *giggle*

Jaejoong: Don't joke about such things... You gave me a heart attack just now...

Kiki: Calm down... You're such a babo (fool) when you're in love you know... Don't you already know how I feel about you? I promise you... I'll stay with you... yongwonhi (forever) ... Yakusoku (promise)... Sarangheyo (I love you)...

Kiki leans in and gives Jaejoong a kiss on his lips.

Kiki: Now can we eat?

Jaejoong: Ahhhhh....

Jaejoong nodded his head happily and opened his mouth, pointing at his mouth, and waiting for Kiki to place some food into his mouth to feed him.

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

While Kiki and Jaejoong were having their breakfast, Kiki ordered some breakfast to be brought to the house for the rest to eat.

Waiter: Do you want us to serve it over to them now? Or later when you are finished?

Kiki: Hang on... Let me just give them a call to see if they are awake already or not...

Kiki dialled Max's mobile number. No answer. So she dialled Micky's instead. Still no answer.

Jaejoong: No answer?

Kiki: Yeah... I think they're all still sleeping... Probably had a late night brainstorming. How? What should we do?

Jaejoong: Erm... I think we should just order and when we're on our way walking back then they serve it to them.

Kiki: Not a bad idea... (turns to waiter) so can you serve it to them when we leave?

Waiter: Yes.

Kiki: Okay... You think the food's enough for them?

Jaejoong nodded.

Kiki: Okay. So that's all then. Kamsa hamnida.

After they finished their breakfast, they took a nice slow stroll back to their house. By the time they were back, the rest were already awake and eating their breakfast.

Max: Hyung, nuna, where did you guys go so early in the morning? Don't tell me you two stayed out on the beach all night? I thought I remembered that you guys were in when we left?

Jaejoong: Anio... We woke up early and went to see the sunrise at the beach before having our breakfast... Together...

Jaejoong turned and smiled at Kiki lovingly.

Micky: Wow... So romantic...

U-Know: Alright... Ppali ppali... After we have our breakfast, we have to get ready to go to see the sights immediately. It's already 6.30am. We'll need to leave at 7am sharp. Please be ready by then.

All: SO EARLY?!!!

U-Know (turns to Max and Theo): You guys forgot we planned to start the day early so we can see more?

Max and Theo: Oh yeah...

Micky: So what's on today's itinerary?

U-Know: We're going to the Seongeup Folk Village and the Jeju Folk Village Musuems first. That will take about 2 hours each. Then we'll break for lunch at the Musuem before we head to the "All In" house. I'll let you girls have a bit more time there... You have 1 hour to take pictures there. After that we'll move on to the Teddy Bear Museum, and tour for another 2 hours. Then we'll head to a nearby flea market for shopping and souvenirs, etc. You have till 7pm for that. Then we'll have our dinner first. And Junsu's games can come in if we're not too tired.

Everyone stared at U-Know who blabbered on the itinerary in one breath. Seriously, I think NO ONE managed to catch everything. Some were left scratching their heads in confusion. Particularly Xiah and Jaejoong.

Xiah: Hyung, that's a lot of places... (tries to count with his fingers, but keeps failing, cos he forgot how many places were listed) You sure we can finish all of them? And still be able to play my games?

U-Know: Well if you guys hurry we can...

Jaejoong: Don't expect me to remember anything... Cos I've only caught like half of what you said... Just be the tour guide and bring us along... You're driving right?

U-Know: Erm... (looks around at Theo and Max, who both can't drive) I think so... My group members can't drive...

Jaejoong: Good... Then I can relax and hang with my jagi...

Kiki hits Jaejoong on his arm.

Jaejoong: OUCH! What was that for?!!!

Kiki: Stop calling me that in front of them!!! You know how mushy it is?!!! I still have a name you know? And it's not JA-GI-YA!!!

Kiki ran back up into her room.

Jaejoong (in shock): But I...

The rest started laughing.

Max: Hyung, I think nuna's helping me get revenge...

Micky: Thank God SOMEONE knows it's so cold here we need to wear winter wear when it's summer...

Fifi: Jaejoong, just to let you know... So you don't "die" without knowing the reason... Kiki doesn't really like to people to give her nicknames or pet names... So...

Theo: Yeah... It's already good that she lets you call her that when you're alone... But now you keep calling her that in front of others, it's probably getting on her nerves...

U-Know: And she already asked you not to call her that in front of us last night... And you're still...

Jaejoong: Okay okay... Araso... I have to go appease her now... Hurry up otherwise we won't be able to get out at 7am...

All: Oh yeah...

Everyone rushed through their breakfast and hurriedly got ready for their day's sightseeing. Jaejoong managed to appease Kiki by promising that he won't do it again, in front of the rest. And she could give him a pet name, and call him that in front of the rest if she wished to. Of course Kiki didn't give him one. Cos that would be making her do the mushy talk instead of him.

The entire group set off on time at 7am and went about sightseeing the entire day, taking loads of pictures and videos. Kiki was taking videos with her HD digital camera while Max and Jaejoong took pics like mad. Max was using an antique manual camera that a fan gave to him and Jaejoong was using a semi-auto digital camera.

Throughout the entire tour, you could see that Xiah kept wanting to take pictures with Fifi alone. While U-Know just wanted to take pictures with Theo. Poor Micky was left out a lot of times since he wasn't holding a camera, while the two "couples" were taking photos. Strangely, as Jaejoong and Kiki were both taking pictures, they didn't really take a lot of photos. So since it was Jaejoong and Kiki's engagement party tour (or pre-honeymoon, as U-Know called it), Max (being the nice dongsaeng he was) made sure that they took pictures together at each location they went to. As a memento for them to remember the special moment.

By the end of the day, everyone was totally exhausted. And they had already taken over 1000 pictures of themselves. Seems that Jaejoong was not the only cam whore in the group... The rest were pretty cam whorish themselves too.

They settled down after dinner and washing up to play a game of "Pop-up Pirate". And poor U-Know ended up as the big loser, and being hit by everyone with two fingers till his forearm was red with streaks of where the rest had hit him. Theo was the most lenient on him, and hardly made a sound when she hit him. They went to rest in their respective rooms after the game and catching a movie on TV.

Serendipity 奇缘 - Chapter 57

Chapter 57: Surprises!

Theo: U-know, where are you going? Aren't we supposed to go back to the house?

U-know: I want to bring you to somewhere else.

Theo: But.... We're supposed to go back. If we just went off by ourselves, it's not very nice. At least, we have to tell the rest

U-know: Nah, I will just SMS them and let them know.

Theo: Oh, okay.

Theo allowed U-know to lead her.

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

The rest of them were walking in front of U-know and Theo. They did not even notice that U-know and Theo were missing. Nobody wanted to call Jaejoong and Kiki out for supper, as they knew the lovebirds wanted to enjoy each other's company more than theirs.

The guys went to the kitchen to put away the food that they were not planning to have for supper, while Fifi went to cook some kimchi ramen.

Fifi: The ramen is ready.

Everyone gathered at the table hungrily, while Fifi put the big pot of kimchi ramen in the middle of the table.

Xiah (amazed): I didn't know that you could cook.

Fifi: Hey, instant kimchi ramen does not pose a problem to me okay... I can cook. It's just a choice of whether or not I want to...

Micky (raises eyebrow questioningly): Oh really. Why not you cook something else for us the next time? Then, we will know if you can really cook or not.

Fifi: Erm... No thanks. With Jaejoong and Kiki around, there's no room for me in the kitchen. And I don't want to make my own life difficult by taking on cooking duties for so many people... It's not easy... So I'll leave THAT to the two more experienced cooks...

Xiah, Micky and Max nodded in agreement. Max started eating, and so did Micky. So Xiah took a mouthful of ramen into his mouth, leaving a trail of kimchi soup on the table as he brought it to his mouth.

Xiah's thoughts: I feel so lucky to be able to eat food that Fifi cooked all by herself... No wonder Jaejoong-hyung told Changmin that he wants to savour the food that Kiki cooks for him, even if he had to share the moment with the rest of us... It's really special when the one you love cooks for you...

Micky: Junsu-ya, you're leaving your "beautiful footsteps" behind again

Xiah: WHAT?

Micky: Your kimichi soup's dripping all over the table... Dok dok dok dok dok...

Micky mimicked how Xiah was eating and how he dripped the soup all over the table.

Xiah: Oh... *giggles and scratches head embarrassedly*

Fifi looked up from her bowl of kimchi ramen and looks at Xiah. Indeed he was making a fine mess dripping soup all over the table.

Micky: The bowl's soooo near you and you can still eat until so messy... *sigh* You need to go back to kindergarten man... And learn how to eat properly...

Xiah: YAH!!! PARK YOOCHUN!!! It's just a few drops of soup, I'll clean it up later... Quit nagging and eat your food!!!

Fifi: No wonder Jaejoong and you said he leaves footsteps behind when he eats... It's really true... Now that I've seen it myself... Ha ha ha...

Xiah looked up as he sucked in a few strands of ramen, leaving red kimchi soup all over his mouth.

Fifi: Ha ha ha... look at you... you're eating like a small kid...

Fifi stretched for a tissue and stretched her hand over to clean Xiah's mouth for him. Xiah was a bit shocked by her action. But nevertheless, he was happy to be receiving attention from Fifi, especially when it was such loving attention...

Xiah looked at Fifi as she cleaned his mouth, and she didn't even realise that he was staring at her the whole time, cos she was looking at his mouth. When she was done, she looked up and found him staring at her. When their eyes met, both felt their hearts skipped a beat.

Fifi's thoughts: Why is he looking at me like that? It's like he's trying to tell me he likes me just by looking at me... I feel like I'm going to hyperventilate and faint anytime now... Can he stop looking at me?!!!!

Xiah's thoughts: Fifi... I... I think... I think I'm in love with you... Will you be my girlfriend?

Xiah's eyes were looking at Fifi so lovingly and trying to convey his love declaration message, that both of them were oblivious to the world. Junsu then grabbed Fifi's hand. Max who had his attention on his own bowl of kimchi ramen, didn't even notice that the two had stopped eating and were looking at one another. Micky on the other hand, had noticed that there was suddenly silence from the two and glanced up from his bowl. Once he saw the two of their eyes locked together, he looked back down and continued eating.

Micky's thoughts: Finally... This dolphin is making SOME progress... I wonder where U-Know-hyung is... MIA and slipping away again with Theo...

Fifi's thought: Oh no! This is getting really awkward...... AHHHHH!!!!! My heart's beating so fast. I think everyone on the table can hear it..... I better get myself off this situation. What is he thinking again? Does he really have an IQ of an dolphin? Argh.... I can't let him grab my hand for the whole time. And, there's like others around the table.

Xiah's thought: What am I supposed to do next? And where did I find such courage to do such a thing. Think Kim Junsu, think. Quick.

Before Xiah could think of his next movement, Fifi had already pulled her hands out of Xiah's grip. Then, she continued with her food, hoping that nobody had saw what just happened.

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

Meanwhile.....

After walking for some distance, U-know stopped.

U-Know: Theo, can you do me a favour?

Theo was rather confused by U-Know's request.

Theo: Huh?

Theo's thoughts: What is U-know trying to do? I can't figure it out at all. First, he didn't intend to bring me back to the house. And, then he wanted a favour from me.

U-know: Just a teeny weeny favour. It's not going to be hard. Miduhyo.

Theo: Erm.... Okay.

U-know: Will you close your eyes now?

Theo: Huh? Erm.... Okay.

Theo closed her eyes.

U-know stand at the back of Theo and he used his hands to cover Theo's eyes to prevent her from peeping.

U-know: Theo, can a step forward and continue to walk in a straight line until I ask you to stop. And, you better not peep, or else you would get it from me...

Theo: Can you tell me how am I supposed to peep when your hands are over my eyes?

U-know: Oh yeah. Silly me. Hahahah...

After walking for a while, U-know asked Theo to stop. But, his hands were still covering her eyes.

U-know had brought Theo to a grass field.

U-know took his hands away from Theo's face.

U-know: You can open your eyes now.

The first thing that comes to Theo's eyes was the candles that were placed on the ground. The place was dark, and the only light that was lighting the way was the candles.

The candles were placed strategically on the ground, with a special meaning.

Theo: Huh? What's that? Why is there candles on the ground? Did you place them there?

Theo was completely clueless about the formation.

U-know: Are you sure that you don't know what that's supposed to mean?

Theo: Nope. Care to explain it?

U-know brought Theo nearer to the candles, hoping that she could figure out what the meaning that the candles were supposed to convey.

This time, Theo had to rack her brains to figure it out. Usually, Theo did not need to take such a long time to figure things out. She was rather quick in figuring out hidden meanings. But, this time, it was really challenging.

Theo stared hard at the candles. Still confused.

U-know's thought: What's happening here? I thought Theo would be so touched and surprised. But, never did I expect that she could not get my meaning. Am I supposed to explain the meaning to her. If I did, it's going to be so embarrassing. And, the mood is going to be spoilt. I really hope she understands it.

After thinking for quite a while, Theo finally realised what was the meaning of the candles.

The candles were formed in a way, that it spelt out the words: " Yun loves Theo".

Theo looked at U-know and gave him a sweet smile.

Theo: Thank you. I really appreciate it.

U-know: Really? I was so afraid that you can't get my meaning.

Theo: How can I not know it? You're so sweet.......

U-know: So, what are you going to do to reward me for being so sweet?

Theo: Erm.... Nothing. This is something that I deserved.

U-know was not going to let Theo off that easily. He wanted a reward, and a reward is something that he must get by hook or by crook.

U-know: Are you sure?

Theo: Yeah.

U-know: No regrets?

Theo: Yes. No regrets.

U-know: Then, you better not blame me for what I'm going to do later.

Theo: Don't you dare.

Theo walked away from U-know and in the direction where the candles was.

But, U-know was not going to let Theo slip away. He went forward, and grabbed Theo's arm. Then, he pulled Theo into his arms and gave a kiss on her cheek.

Theo: Huh? What are you doing?

U-know: Told ya that you will regret it.

Theo: Why would I?

Theo moved her face closer and closer towards U-know. Both of their faces were so closed to each other that they could feel each other's breath.

U-know's thought: Oh no! Why is she moving so close to me? Doesn't she know that I would get nervous? And why is my heart beating so fast? I'm the leader of TVXQ and a namja. I shouldn't be feeling nervous at all. Never. But......

Theo: I think I heard something really strange.

Theo's thought: Hahahaha... I've got him this time. Who ask him to kiss me all of a sudden. Let me see if you're going to blush, or you're heart is going to beat until it's going to stop any moment.

U-know: Huh? What's that? I.... don't think... I heard.. anything.. stra... strange......

Theo: But, I heard something going "thump thump thump thump". It sounds like someone's heart beat. Could it be yours?

Theo's thoughts: Heeeheeeheee.... I've got him this time. YAY!!!!

U-know: Ermm.... I think you've heard wrongly. How can it be?

Theo: I think... it's your heart beat that I'm hearing.........

U-know's thoughts: Don't tell me that my heart is really beating that loud that Theo can actually hear it. This is really embarrassing!!!

U-know: How can you hear a person's heart beat? You're not even a doctor.

Theo: Why can't I? Can't you see that I'm so near you? Heeheeeheee.....

Theo was rather amazed by U-know's anxious expression.

U-know sensed that something was not really right.

U-know's thought: What was I saying just now? A doctor hearing other's heart beat. Doctor. Heart beat. Yeah. Now, I know what's going on. Theo was teasing me all along. I'm going to get back at her.

U-know: Yeah. Theo, you know what?

Theo: What?

U-know: Since you can hear my heart beat, do you know what that means?

Theo: Erm.... Nope.

U-know: That means.....

All of sudden, U-know gave Theo a kiss. The kiss was not the same as the one before. This time, U-know gave Theo a peck on her lips.

Theo was shocked. It was something that she did not anticipate. She moved away from U-know.

U-know's thoughts: Huh? What's the supposed to mean? Why did she react in this manner? I don't understand. She's really making me all confused. Don't tell me she didn't like it.

U-know: Theo, are you alright? I'm really sorry. I.......

Theo: Erm.... No... You don't have to be sorry...... It's just........ just.... I..... didn't really expect it... That's all.......

U-know: Theo, I'm really sorry......

Theo: No, you don't have to be.... Actually.... I'm rather happy that you did that......

U-know: Really???!!!!!

Theo (replied shyly): Yeah.

U-know: Yay!!!!! I've finally kissed Theo!!!!!

U-know grabbed Theo's hands and they started to go round in circles, just like the Bollywood movies.

Theo: You can calm down now, U-know. You're making me dizzy by going around in circles.

U-know: Oh, I'm sorry.

U-know stopped.

U-know: It's such a beautiful and starry night. Why don't we enjoy the stars before going back?

Theo: That sounds romantic.

U-know took a hanky out from his pocket. And, he carefully spread it on the ground.

U-know: Here, you can sit on the hanky. I don't want you to dirty your shorts.

Theo: Thank you.

Theo sat on the hanky. After Theo had sat on the ground, U-know too sat beside her. Then, he wrapped his arms around her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back at the house......

Xiah, Micky, Max and Fifi, were having fun playing the pirate game. Even though, Fifi thought it would be a childish game, she did enjoy herself. Micky was always the one who lost and ended up being punished by the rest. He was hit on his arm by the rest.

After playing the game for quite some time, they heard the door opening. U-know and Theo had come back from their star gazing trip. When U-know and Theo entered the room, they were holding hands.

Xiah: Hyung! Where have you guys gone? Do you know how late is it?

U-know: Erm... We..........

Micky: Wait a minute. What am I seeing here? Are you 2 together?

Fifi: What? Theo! You and U-know..... Hmmmm.... Not a bad couple I would say. You 2 do look compatible. Hahahahahah.... When did this happen? How come I didn't know about it?

Max: Yeah. Hyung, you really keep your secret well. I've been in your group for discussion for the whole time, but I didn't even detect anything.

Micky: How can you ever detect anything, Max. You don't even have a girlfriend before.

Max: But, at least I know what's it is like to like a girl.

Micky: When was it? When you were 2?

Max: Nope.

U-know: Guys, can you stop bickering and bombarding us with questions? And, shouldn't you guys be happy for us?

Max: We're happy. But, you should tell us exactly what happened.

U-know: Okay. Okay. We're together and it's not too long ago. So, you guys didn't really miss anything.

Xiah: Really??? Oh, this trip is going to be so fruitful. Jaejoong-hyung and Kiki are getting engaged. And, you and Theo. Oh my...

Micky: Yeah. Love is really in the air man.

Even before everyone could start questioning U-know and Theo again, U-know quickly brought Theo back to the room, leaving everyone in the living room.
