独自在房间的角落
点根烟让寂寞飘走
说起来失眠也不错
至少可以不作梦
难道爱会渐渐折旧
连回忆也变成折磨
真心的想给你一切
你偏偏只想要自由
现在几点钟
风知不知道你睡了没有
抬头仰望著天空
一起拥有过的快乐
像断了线的气球
不在乎有没有以後
爱你是活著的理由
紧紧的抱住跟你有关的一切
包括想著你的心痛
我们还有没有以後
牵著手幸福的以後
在你的心中千万记得还有我
永远守著我的承诺在等候

Serendipity 奇缘 - Chapter 30
Chapter 30: Banned From Entering
Xiah and Fifi went around the palace to look for the rest of the guys, but they could not find them around. At this moment, Xiah was still holding on to Fifi's hand. Fifi tried to regain the freedom of her hand, but Xiah's grip got tighter.
"Xiah, I....I....think you can let go of my hand now. The security guard is far away by now."
Xiah continued walking, he pretended that he did not hear Fifi at all. He pulled Fifi as he went forward. Suddenly, Fifi stopped walking. Xiah wondered what happened. Was Fifi angry with him for holding her hands? Or she saw the rest of the guys?
Xiah turned around.
"What's wrong Fifi?"
"Erm......"
Fifi tired to draw Xiah's attention to their hands, but Xiah still did not get her hint. Fifi stared hard at their hands, hoping that once again, Xiah would not be so clueless.
"What's wrong Fifi? What are you staring at? I don't get"
Fifi really wondered if Xiah really did not get the hint or he was just clueless.
"Xiah.... You still don't get it?"
"I really don't understand. What's wrong?"
Fifi really did not know what to do. It seemed as though Xiah could not get the hint at all.
"Xiah, your... your... hand....."
"What's wrong with my hand? I don't see there's any problem there. It looks fine to me."
This was really driving Fifi crazy. Xiah just did not understand what she was saying. Does it mean that she had to spell everything out. All along, Xiah knew what was Fifi talking about. But, he wanted to hold her hands, and not let go. He had to act blur in order to continue to hold her hands.
U-know and Theo saw both Xiah and Fifi from afar.
"Hey, Xiah, Fifi!!! Where were you guys," screamed U-know.
U-know and Theo were running towards the direction of Xiah and Fifi. U-know was pulling Theo along as they ran.
When Fifi saw U-know and Theo making their way towards her, she immediately pushed Xiah's hand away from her. She would not want to endure another time of teasing. It was so embarrassing a moment ago when Jaejoong was teasing them. Meeting U-know was even worse. He could be one of the loud speaker in the group. In order to save herself from the dire consequence of teasing, Fifi had no choice but to do that.
Xiah was rather disappointed when Fifi pushed his hands away from his.
"We... We... Erm......"
Fifi had difficulty finding the right excuse to give for their disappearance. Seeing that Fifi had some trouble answering U-know question, he stepped in to help.
"Hyung, we went to eat. You know how hungry I can get at times, right."
"Oh. Where's the rest of the guys? Did you see them around?"
"Not too sure. We only saw Kiki and Jaejoong at the entrance, and that's about it".
"Hmmm.....The time now is about 6.30p.m. We have to gather everyone back now, then we could have our dinner. I've planned a traditional Korean dinner for you girls, since this is the first time here in Korea. Let me give Micky and Max a call. Xiah, could you give Jaejoong a call. I think Kiki would be with Jaejoong, so I don't think we need to call her. We will meet at the exit in 15 minutes time. So, if you girls want to use the bathroom, you could use it first and we'll meet later".
U-know gave out his instruction carefully, making sure that everyone knew it.
"Theo, do you want to use the toilet? I really need to use it".
"Okay".
"Guys, we'll meet you at the exit later. Bye."
Fifi needed to get away from Xiah. Being around Xiah never made Fifi so nervous before. Her heart started to beat faster ever since she hug Xiah by accident. Moreover, Jaejoong saw them holding hands. Would he tell the whole group about it? What was she going to do for the rest of the day? Xiah was going to be there. That thought of being around Xiah her even more nervous.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Xiah and U-know situated themselves in the most visible spot near the exit in order for the rest to find them easily.
"Hyung, I can't get Jaejoong-hyung. It seemed that he has switched off his phone."
At this point, Micky and Max were making their way to the exit. They spotted Xiah and U-know, and went forward.
"Hyung!!!" Micky and Max screamed to get the attention of Xiah and U-know.
"You two are finally here. Now, we have to wait for the girls, and Kiki and Jaejoong-hyung. After that, we can head off for dinner".
"Really??? Yeah!!!! I'm starving. What are we going to have for dinner? Buffet??"
"Max!!!! All you could think of is food and only food, is it????"
"Oh yeah, I almost forget. Kiki went off to chase after Jaejoong-hyung. He was throwing his tantrum again. I don't think they would be joining us for dinner. I think Jaejoong-hyung won't allow her to come".
*Ring....Ring.....Ring.....*
"Wait... My phone's ringing. Let me pick it up".
Max walked away from the group and answered his phone. After a while, Max came back.
"That was Kiki-nuna on the phone just now. She said that she and Jaejoong-hyung wouldn't be joining us for dinner. She has to settle some things with Jaejoong-hyung".
"Okay. Hmm.... Now, we have to wait for the girls. What's taking Theo so long in the toilet? I thought I told them to meet us at the exit in 15 minutes time? I think I better go and find them. You guys stay here and wait for them, and if they appear, give me a call".
"Hyung, you don't need to find them. They are there, slowly walking towards us".
Micky pointed towards the direction where Theo and Fifi were. Both the girls were taking their own sweet time walking, oblivious that everyone was waiting for them.
"THEO, FIFI!!!! HURRY UP!!!!!!!! I'M STARVING!!!!! QUICK!!!!!" screamed Max.
"OKAY!!!! WE'RE COMING!!!!"
"Now, every one's here. We can set off for dinner. Let's go".
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At the restaurant......

"OKAY!!!! WE'RE COMING!!!!"
"Now, every one's here. We can set off for dinner. Let's go".
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At the restaurant......
"Okay. Hmmm.... Let me see. Can you give me 6 bowls of Bap (steamed rice). Ermm...... One big bowl of shellfish Guk (soup)...."
U-know was holding on to the menu and ordering food for everyone, making sure that there was enough food.
"Hyung, make it 7 bowls. I'm starving".
"No, Hyung. Make it 8 bowls. I'm hungry too. I need 2 bowls".
"Okay. Okay. Ermm... Where am I now?"
"8 bowls of Gap, one big bowl of shellfish guk".
The waiter helped U-know repeat his order to remind him what he has ordered.
"Okay. Jjigae (stew), Jjim (simmered meat) and Jorim (simmered fish)".
"Veggies. Hyung, you did not order the veggies".
"Oh yeah. Guys, I know what to order. Don't confuse me! One Namul (vegetables), Jeotgal (seafood fermented in salt), Jeon (pan-fried dishes), and Mandu (dumpling). I think that is it. Girls, do you still want to order more food?"
The question asked by U-know seemed to be directed only at Theo, but not Fifi, as he was facing Theo when he asked the question.
"I think that would be enough. You have ordered almost everything on the menu. If it's not enough, we can order again".
"Okay. Wait. I want another 6 glasses of poricha (barley tea)".
After waiting for 20 minutes, the food is still not here.
"Hyung!!!! When is the food coming? I'm really starving".
"Me too!!!!"
"I think it should be here soon. Why don't I ask the waiter".
All of a sudden,
*Ring.... Ring... Ring....*
Micky's phone rang.
"Yoboseyo?"
"Micky, can you bring the rest somewhere else for the night... I don't want Fifi and Theo to come back tonight... Cos I wanna spend some time alone with Kiki tonight..."
"Hyung!!! What are you thinking?!!!"
"I just want some quality time with her alone... I can't communicate with her with so many people around..."
"Okay... I'll see what I can do..."
"Kamsahamnida... Micky..."
"Hey guys. That was Jaejoong-hyung. He didn't want the girls to go back to Kiki's apartment tonight."
"What!!!! What is Jaejoong thinking?? What are we going to do for the whole night if we are barred from going back?"
"I was told to bring you girls somewhere".
"Sigh. Maybe, after dinner, they would be asleep, then we can sneak back into the apartment?"
"Maybe."
The waiter started bringing the food to the table. Placing dishes after dishes on the table. The whole table was filled with dishes.
"Hey, don't worry about it now. The food is here. When we finished everything, we can think about what to do next".
"Maybe".
Everyone started eating. Max and Xiah eat as though they had not been eating for a long time.

Destined 遐想 - Chapter 30
Chapter 30: Show Vs Arron (Final Showdown)
*帅哥帅哥......你有一个新短信......帅哥帅哥......你有一个新短信......*
Show took out his phone. It was a SMS from Ting. Show was very excited. He wondered what Ting had to say to him? Something mushy? Deep in his heart, Show wished that Ting would sent him a mushy SMS. He crossed his fingers, hoping that something pleasant would come out of the message.
Show crossed his fingers, as he read the SMS.
Are you free tomorrow for lunch? I need to tell Arron something and I hope that you can be there with me. Meet me at the cafe down the street near the hostel at 12p.m.
What does Ting meant by that? Is she going to tell me that she's going to choose Arron over me? Or is she going to tell Arron to give up on her and that she is going to be mine? ARGH.... This is so frustrating. What am I supposed to do now? Should I tell her that I'm going? Or should I tell her that I'm busy tomorrow. Or should I ask her what she is going to tell Arron.
Show never felt so confused in his life before. This driving him crazy. But, he did not have the courage to ask Ting what is that about. He was afraid that if he really did ask Ting, he would hear something that he would not want to. But, this is the time for him to fight back. To fight for the one that he felt so dearly towards. He knew that he could not lose Ting. Ting was important to him. The only thing he could not understand was why he could have the courage to stand in front of strangers and declare his love for Ting, but he did not have that same courage to ask Ting about Arron. How silly can he get?
Show held his hand phone in his hand. He hesitated for a while. Finally, Show gathered all his might and courage. He decided to give Ting an answer. But, the answer was not to question Ting about the meeting with Arron.
Ting, I can make it tomorrow. I'll pick you up at 11.30a.m, and we'll go together.
Show crafted out the message. However, he paused for a moment before sending it out. Once again, Show did not have the courage to press the send button. Thus, he decided to close his and count to five before pressing the 'send' button.
"One........ two.......... three...... four........ five....."
After the last count, Show still did not have the courage to press that 'send' button. He decided to try it again.
"One........ two.......... three...... four........ five....."
This time, Show managed to press that very important but scary button. It was a success. Show managed it all by himself.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Beep...Beep*
Arron phone rang. Who could it be? Arron was happy that Ting was the one who sent him that SMS. Excitedly, Arron immediately read the message.
Arron, is it possible that you could meet me at 12.00p.m at the cafe down the street near the hostel?
Arron was overjoyed that Ting would send such a message to him. Ting was always treating very coldly. She would ignore him or scream at him to get lost whenever he was around her. This time was different. Ting was actually taking the initiative to ask him out. Without wasting anymore time, Arron replied Ting, telling her that he would be there.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next day.....
*Ding Dong..... Ding Dong......*
"Wait!!!! Coming......"
Ting ran to the door, and open it. The time is only 11.15 a.m. Who could it be? It could not be Show. He said that he was coming at 11.30 a.m.
Ting was surprised when the door opened and the person who was standing in front of her was not Show.
"Arron?? Why are here? I thought that I told you to meet me at the cafe at 12? It's still early. Why don't you wait for me at the cafe while I get myself ready?"
"Since I'm already at the doorstep, why don't you let me into the hostel? I could wait for you here. I don't think you would take that long, do you?"
Arron was standing at the door, waiting for Ting to invite him into the house. However, Ting used her whole body to block the entrance to the hostel.
"Erm.... I don't think you should wait in the hostel. I think I will take a while before getting ready. So, could you wait for me at the cafe. I'll try to be quick".
"I don't think I could wait for you there. Please???"
Arron looked at Ting with those pleading eyes again. He looked so innocent with that look. Ting could not bear to chase him out of the hostel. But, there was no way he could stay in the hostel. Show was going to come any moment. What if Show saw them together? Moreover, both Ning and Ying were not at the hostel. Both of them went out of with their dates. Ting was afraid that Show could get the wrong idea.
"Sorry, Arron. The girls are not in. So, I don't think I can let you in. After all, this is Ying's hostel, and I can't let anyone in without her permission. Why don't you wait for me......."
Before Ting could finish her sentence.......
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE??????"
Show ran towards Arron, and grabbed Arron by his shirt. Show lifted up his fist, getting all ready to fling it at Arron.
Unfortunately, Ting grabbed Show's fist just in time before he could fling it at Arron.
"Ting!!! Why did you stop me? And why is he doing here? What have you got to say?"
Show was very angry. He could not believe his eyes. He thought Ting was going to meet Arron at the cafe, but in the end, it turned out that Arron is here at the hostel.
"Show, I didn't know that he would turn up at the hostel. I've arranged to meet him at the cafe. I really didn't ask him to come up here".
"I don't believe you. If you didn't ask him to come to the hostel, then what is he doing here. Don't tell me that my eyes are playing tricks on me?"
"Show, please believe me. I really didn't ask him to come up".
At this point where Show and Ting had some misunderstanding, Arron feeling happy deep down in his heart. If Show continued to suspect Ting, then Ting would be his eventually.
"So what if Ting asked me to be here or not. It's really none of your business. Let me tell you the truth, it was Ting who asked me to be here. She wanted to tell me something before meeting you, so she told me to come to the hostel first".
Show was boiling with anger deep in his heart. He could not believe it. He always trusted Ting, but how could she do such a thing?
"ARRON!!!! What are you saying? Could you please shut up now? I'm trying to explain things here, and I really don't need you here to make things worse. Just shut up will you".
"Ting, what are you saying? I'm just trying to help you. Why do you even bother about that Show? We'll just leave him alone and continue our date".
"WHAT DATE???? I thought.... Ting..... How could you do this? Now, I really got nothing to say".
Show took a glance at Ting and then at Arron. After that, he turned around and left.
"SHOW!!! DON'T GO!!!!!! DON'T BELIEVE HIM!!!!!!!" screamed Ting
Show did not want to hear what Ting was saying. His heart did not soften when Ting called for him to stay. He continued walking, with each steps faster than the other. He did not even turn back to take a look at Ting.
"ARRON!!!! What have you done??? I can't believe this!!!! I need to settle things with Show first. Wait for me at the cafe".
Ting went off to chase Show, leaving Arron confused.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"SHOW!!!!!............ WAIT FOR ME!!!!! ..................PLEASE STOP AND LET ME EXPLAIN!!!!!!.........."
Ting screamed and pant as she chased after Show. However, Show did not stop and continued to walk even faster.
"SHOW!!!! PLEASE...... I..... REALLY.... NEED..... TO..... EXPLAIN......."
"Okay, I'll give you another chance provided that the Arron guy is not around now".
Show's back was facing Ting.
"I'm.... sure.... that.... Arron is.... is..... not here..... Let... me... me... catch my... breath first...." Ting panted.
Show started to turn around and walk towards Ting.
"What is it that you have to explain?"
"I really didn't ask Arron to come up to the hostel. I was surprised to see him too. Initially, I wanted to meet him and you at the cafe. But, then you wanted to pick me up, so I agreed. I wanted to tell Arron that you are the only one who means so much to me. Arron and I are in the past. Now, it's you and I. Show, please believe me".
"Is it true? You mean everything you said?"
"Yes. Show......I....."
Upon hearing the word 'yes', Show knew that Ting did not lie to him. He moved closer to Ting. Before Ting could finish her sentence, Show embraced Ting.
"I'm sorry, Ting. I should have believe you. I'm really sorry. Please forgive me?"
"Hmmmm..... If you want me to forgive you, you must do something now," Ting said cheekily.
"What? What do you want me to do?"
Show was confused by Ting's request.
"Accompany me to the cafe and let me tell Arron that between it's over between him and I".
"That easy?"
Show could not believe that the task he needed to do was so easy. He thought Ting would make him do something which would be tougher.
"For the moment, I think yes. But, I might be think of something else later".
"Hmmm..... Alright".
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Arron was surprised to see that Ting and Show were holding hands as they headed towards the cafe. Both Ting and Show looked so happy in each others company.
Ting and Show saw Arron and went to seat at the table where Arron was.
"Hey, Arron. I need to tell you something. I'm with Show now. I don't think there would be a second chance for me and you. But, we could still be friends".
"You sure you want to choose this creep over me? Can't you see that I'm much better than him?"
"I'm sure. A hundred percent sure if you ask me. No matter how many times you ask me this question, the answer would still be the same. I'm sorry, Arron".
Arron could not believe his ears. All along, he thought Ting still felt something for him. He did not see this coming. Sadly, Arron left the cafe alone, leaving Show and Ting.
*帅哥帅哥......你有一个新短信......帅哥帅哥......你有一个新短信......*
Show took out his phone. It was a SMS from Ting. Show was very excited. He wondered what Ting had to say to him? Something mushy? Deep in his heart, Show wished that Ting would sent him a mushy SMS. He crossed his fingers, hoping that something pleasant would come out of the message.

Show was very angry. He could not believe his eyes. He thought Ting was going to meet Arron at the cafe, but in the end, it turned out that Arron is here at the hostel.
"Show, I didn't know that he would turn up at the hostel. I've arranged to meet him at the cafe. I really didn't ask him to come up here".
"I don't believe you. If you didn't ask him to come to the hostel, then what is he doing here. Don't tell me that my eyes are playing tricks on me?"
"Show, please believe me. I really didn't ask him to come up".
At this point where Show and Ting had some misunderstanding, Arron feeling happy deep down in his heart. If Show continued to suspect Ting, then Ting would be his eventually.
"So what if Ting asked me to be here or not. It's really none of your business. Let me tell you the truth, it was Ting who asked me to be here. She wanted to tell me something before meeting you, so she told me to come to the hostel first".
Show was boiling with anger deep in his heart. He could not believe it. He always trusted Ting, but how could she do such a thing?
"ARRON!!!! What are you saying? Could you please shut up now? I'm trying to explain things here, and I really don't need you here to make things worse. Just shut up will you".
"Ting, what are you saying? I'm just trying to help you. Why do you even bother about that Show? We'll just leave him alone and continue our date".
"WHAT DATE???? I thought.... Ting..... How could you do this? Now, I really got nothing to say".
Show took a glance at Ting and then at Arron. After that, he turned around and left.
"SHOW!!! DON'T GO!!!!!! DON'T BELIEVE HIM!!!!!!!" screamed Ting
Show did not want to hear what Ting was saying. His heart did not soften when Ting called for him to stay. He continued walking, with each steps faster than the other. He did not even turn back to take a look at Ting.
"ARRON!!!! What have you done??? I can't believe this!!!! I need to settle things with Show first. Wait for me at the cafe".
Ting went off to chase Show, leaving Arron confused.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"SHOW!!!!!............ WAIT FOR ME!!!!! ..................PLEASE STOP AND LET ME EXPLAIN!!!!!!.........."
Ting screamed and pant as she chased after Show. However, Show did not stop and continued to walk even faster.
"SHOW!!!! PLEASE...... I..... REALLY.... NEED..... TO..... EXPLAIN......."
"Okay, I'll give you another chance provided that the Arron guy is not around now".
Show's back was facing Ting.
"I'm.... sure.... that.... Arron is.... is..... not here..... Let... me... me... catch my... breath first...." Ting panted.
Show started to turn around and walk towards Ting.
"What is it that you have to explain?"
"I really didn't ask Arron to come up to the hostel. I was surprised to see him too. Initially, I wanted to meet him and you at the cafe. But, then you wanted to pick me up, so I agreed. I wanted to tell Arron that you are the only one who means so much to me. Arron and I are in the past. Now, it's you and I. Show, please believe me".
"Is it true? You mean everything you said?"
"Yes. Show......I....."
Upon hearing the word 'yes', Show knew that Ting did not lie to him. He moved closer to Ting. Before Ting could finish her sentence, Show embraced Ting.
"I'm sorry, Ting. I should have believe you. I'm really sorry. Please forgive me?"
"Hmmmm..... If you want me to forgive you, you must do something now," Ting said cheekily.
"What? What do you want me to do?"
Show was confused by Ting's request.
"Accompany me to the cafe and let me tell Arron that between it's over between him and I".
"That easy?"
Show could not believe that the task he needed to do was so easy. He thought Ting would make him do something which would be tougher.
"For the moment, I think yes. But, I might be think of something else later".
"Hmmm..... Alright".
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Arron was surprised to see that Ting and Show were holding hands as they headed towards the cafe. Both Ting and Show looked so happy in each others company.
Ting and Show saw Arron and went to seat at the table where Arron was.
"Hey, Arron. I need to tell you something. I'm with Show now. I don't think there would be a second chance for me and you. But, we could still be friends".
"You sure you want to choose this creep over me? Can't you see that I'm much better than him?"
"I'm sure. A hundred percent sure if you ask me. No matter how many times you ask me this question, the answer would still be the same. I'm sorry, Arron".
Arron could not believe his ears. All along, he thought Ting still felt something for him. He did not see this coming. Sadly, Arron left the cafe alone, leaving Show and Ting.
Serendipity 奇缘 - Chapter 29
Chapter 29: Dinner Date with Jaejoong
"Yoboseyo... Max... Kiki here... "
"Nuna!!! How did it go? Did hyung forgive you?"
"Ne, he did... But I can't meet up with you guys for dinner later..."
"Wae? I thought he forgave you?"
"Cos he wants to spend some time alone with me... So I can't join you guys... Mianeyo..."
"And you're obliging? And ditching us???!!!"
"Ne... I think I'd better oblige... Won't be able to do this so often when the work starts... Just want to spend as much time with him when I still can..."
"Does he know about the change in plot yet?"
"Anio... I haven't told him yet... I think now is not the time to do it... I'll just have to keep it a secret until the producers announce it. You guys are not supposed to know too. So do keep it a secret for me. Don't tell anyone else about it."
"Okay... I understand..."
"Enjoy yourselves then... Annyeongi kyeseyo..."
"Nuna..."
"Ye?"
"Kiki-nuna... Fighting!!! You can do it!"
"Kamsahamnida, Max..." I ended the call.
"Kiki... FIGHTING!!! You can do it... You just have to trust him... Miduhyo... Remember?" I thought to myself.
"I'm ready!!!" Jaejoong dashed out of his room in a huff and jumped in front of me.
I was awakened from my thoughts but his actions. I looked up at him, and stood up to leave with him. Once I stood up, he placed his arm around my shoulders, and pulled me closer to him. I responded by putting my arm around his waist.
"You smell good after the shower..."
"You mean I don't smell good normally?"
"Anio... I..."
He pulled me closer to him.
"It feels so good to be able to hold you like this..."
I looked up at him, and he looked down when he felt me move in his arms.
"Yes, yeobo? What's wrong?"
"Why did you say welcome home just now? And why are you calling me yeobo? What's that?"
He smiled, "Cos I just wanted to see how it feels like... to call you honey..."
I blinked at his response blurly. Not knowing what he was thinking in his mind at all. His eyes exuded a gentleness that made my heart melt. I turned away to steady myself.
"Whatever... You just do whatever you want.. As long as it's not in public... You have to call me Kiki-shi in public..." I started walking towards the door.
"Wakarimashita... anata..." He shouted, running towards me to catch up with me.
I turned when I heard him say that, and gave a "Huh" look. He grabbed my shoulders with his hands and turned me back towards the door, leading me out to my apartment.
"Gosh, he is like calling me so many nicknames... And all so..." I shivered as I felt goosebumps go through me when I thought to myself.
"Are you feeling cold?"
"Anio..."
"Then why are you shivering?"
"Nothing..."
He placed his around my neck and hugged me as I struggled through my bag to search for my keys. When he hugged me, I felt even more goosebumps, and when I tried to push the key into the keyhole, hoping to open the door as quickly to get into my apartment, I dropped the keys instead. I wanted to bend to pick up the keys, and since I felt Jaejoong let go of me, I hurriedly reached down to pick up the keys. When I was standing up, he was just reaching down, and bumped into him, dropping the keys again. This time when I bent down to pick up the keys, his hands touched mine. I felt another round of goosebumps go through me, and I shivered again. I retracted my hand immediately and stood up.
"Hee hee... She's acting all nervous and shy around me... Must be because of the names I'm calling her... Hee hee... So cute..." Jaejoong thought to himself as he picked up my keys, and grinned behind his free hand. Then he reached to open the door for me instead. Once the door was open, I dashed into the apartment.
"I'll go wash up first. You can check out the fridge and see what you'd like to cook..." I shouted as I dashed straight into my room, grabbed some clothes randomly and then dashed out to the bathroom.
Jaejoong hid his grin with his hand when he saw me going all nervous like a scatterbrain around my apartment. Then when I didn't emerge again, he went to check out the fridge and decided to make a nice candle-lit dinner for the two of us.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I slammed the bathroom door behind me, and stood there stunned for a while. I couldn't believe or understand why I was reacting so strongly to his nicknames. It was making me nervous around him, how am I supposed to finish dinner with him when I can't even look at him. Knowing he was just outside, made me feel like not going out of the bathroom, I just wanted to hide there for the rest of the evening.
"Gwenchanayo? I've finished cooking already... Still not done yet?"
I could see his silhouette standing against the frosted glass door.
"So fast!!!" I thought to myself.
"Ne, I'm done..." he replied.
Opps, I thought aloud...
"I'm coming out now... Just a minute..." I mumbled, gathering my dirty laundry in my hands clumsily.
When I opened the door, Jaejoong was standing at the doorway, with one arm propping himself against the doorway and his body leaning on the other side. He looked up at me, and I felt a spark of electricity go through me.
Oh no... He's looking at my with those high-voltage eyes again...
I dived under his arm across the doorway, and tried to make my escape to dump my dirty laundry in the washing machine.
"Yeobo... You dropped something..."
I looked down at my pile of clothes in my hands, and gasped.
Oh no!!!
I closed my eyes and tried to ignore his comment, and carried on to the washing machine. Once I reached the machine, I dumped all the laundry immediately in.
"I think this belongs to you..."
I turned around in shock, and saw Jaejoong dangling my bra from his index finger. Immediately I dashed towards him and tried to grab the garment from him. But he raised his hand, so I couldn't reach it.
"I thought it didn't belong to you... How come you didn't respond earlier when I called you?"
I tried jumping to grab the garment, but he kept raising it higher.
"Joongie!!! Give it back to me!!!"
I was exasperated. I kept jumping but it didn't work at all, he just raised it higher and higher.
"Are you sure it's yours and not Fifi's or Theo's? The size looks different..." He used his other hand to pull the garment up to look at the size.
"KIM JAEJOONG!!!! STOP IT!!! GIVE IT BACK TO ME!!!!" I stopped jumping and shouted.
He looked down at me in amusement, and passed the garment back to me. I snatched it away from him, and threw it into the washing machine, covering up the cover immediately. I took a few deep breathes as I was panting from all the jumping and shouting. He slipped next to me and propped his elbow on top of the washing machine, and looked at me.
"I know that it's definitely yours at one look... I was just playing around... I... You're not angry are you? "
I shook my head.
"Cos I got a surprise for you... Close your eyes..."
He reached over and covered my eyes with his hands.
"Joongie!!! What are you doing!!!"
"Don't worry... Just hold on to me and follow my guide..." He stood nearer to me so that my back leaned against his chest, and nudged me along. I grabbed hold of his hands around my eyes for security.
"You can stop now... But keep your eyes closed... I'll be right back..."
I felt his hands leave my eyes, and he stepped away from me. Then I heard music start playing softly in the background. It was "Miduhyo" the first song I heard from TVXQ. The first MTV that I saw of them... And the MTV that made me fall hopelessly for YoungWoong Jaejoong... How did he know it was my all-time favourite song???
I felt him walk back behind me, and place his hands around my waist. Then he whispered into my ear, "You can open your eyes now..."
I opened my eyes, and saw that he had prepared a nice candle-lit dinner for the two of us, and the table was very nicely set, with things that I didn't even know existed in my kitchen.
"Are these things all from my kitchen?" I turned around and questioned him in amazement.
"Ne... I did some scouting around... Hope you don't mind..."
"Wow... I didn't even know that I had them..."
Jaejoong laughed his musical laughter, and used his hand to cover his laughter.
"Yeobo, you're such a blur queen..." He tousled my hair with his other hand.
I scratched my head blurly, "I guess so... Better do a stock check sometime soon..."
He stepped beside me, and raised his elbow for me to hold on to. I obliged and let him lead me to the seat. Being a perfect gentleman, he pulled the seat for me, and waited for me to be seated comfortably before going to his seat. I looked at him across the candle-lit table, and felt really overwhelmed by his thoughtfulness.
Gosh... I could get used to being pampered by him like a princess everyday...
"Yeobo... Aren't you going to try my cooking?"
I snapped out of my daze and looked at him. I looked down at the nicely garnished plate of steak and took a whiff.
"Smells good..." I took up my cutlery and sliced a small piece of the steak, and brought it to my mouth. Jaejoong looked at me in anticipation as I tasted it.
"Eottokke?"
I smiled, "It's delicious... The sauce... done just to my liking... How did you know I like my steaks medium done? I don't remember telling you before? And we've never eaten steak before together..."
He smiled, "It's telepathy..."
"Gosh, you're so..." I shoke my head in disbelief.
"Hee hee... I just thought you'd like it this way, since I also prefer mine cooked this way..." He replied more seriously.
We enjoyed a quiet and intimate dinner, and had my favourite Ben & Jerry's cookie dough ice cream as dessert*, together in the comfort of my apartment sofa, without any "intruders" interrupting. Which made me wonder, why aren't anyone coming back at this time? I looked at the clock, it was already 10pm.
*The dessert is for me, since Jaejoong doesn't really like sweet stuff. He just pinches a few scoops from me, and that's about it.
"Joongie, how come the girls aren't back at this time? And they haven't called either. You know where the guys brought them for dinner?"
"They're probably not back yet from dinner. You know how long-winded U-Know can be, he's probably introducing some long history about some traditional food to them as we talk. can I have another scoop of the ice cream?" he replied nonchalantly, and opened his mouth, waiting for me to feed him the ice cream.
"Really... Okay..." I scooped a scoop of ice cream and placed it into his mouth.
As the spoon left his mouth, I placed it back into the bowl.
"I think I'd better give them a call to check where they are..." I placed the bowl on the coffee table and walked to the phone to give them a call.
"Yoboseyo... Max? Kiki here... Where are you guys now?"
"We're erm... still having dinner..."
"Still having dinner? At this time?"
"Ne... You know how long-winded U-Know-hyung can be, he's taking such a long time introducing some long history about the traditional food to the girls... Don't wait for us, we'll be late... And don't worry, we'll take good care of the girls... Annyeongi kyeseyo..."
"Yoboseyo... Yoboseyo... Max??" I put down the phone.
"What did they say?"
"Max said the same thing as you just told me... And asked me not to wait for them..."
"There... Just as I guessed..."
"I guess so..."
"Come on back over here... Your ice cream is melting..." He said, and took up my bowl of ice cream, and waited for me to sit myself back beside him, before passing the bowl back to me, and putting his arm around my shoulder.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile at the restaurant...
"Was it Kiki calling to ask about us?" Theo asked.
"Ne..."
"Jaejoong is too much man, actually banning us from going back tonight... I mean where are we going to sleep?"
"You can sleep over at our apartment..."
"Really?"
"Ne... You girls can take the room, we'll camp out in the living room..."
"Aw that's sweet of you... U-Know..."
"Hyung... Don't we get any say in this? It's our room too..."
"Mianeyo, you don't... Since you're the youngest..."
Max made a face.
"If it's not for nuna and Jaejoong-hyung, I won't be taking all these man..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Flashback...
When we were still over at their apartment, and I was waiting at the sofa for Jaejoong to get changed, he made a call to Micky and told him to not come back, and to bring the gang somewhere else to hang out for the night.
"Micky, can you bring the rest somewhere else for the night... I don't want Fifi and Theo to come back tonight... Cos I wanna spend some time alone with Kiki tonight..."
"Hyung!!! What are you thinking?!!!"
"I just want some quality time with her alone... I can't communicate with her with so many people around..."
"Okay... I'll see what I can do..."
"Kamsahamnida... Micky..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Actually I don't really like sweet stuff... But seeing the way you enjoy it, makes me think that it's not too bad..." Jaejoong pointed at my bowl of ice cream with his free hand, to indicate that he wants another scoop.
I fed him another scoop.
"Because it is so good in the first place... That's why you're enjoying it..." I smiled as I watched him let the ice cream slowly melt in his mouth to enjoy the taste, as I scooped another scoop for myself.
"Anio... I think it's cos I'm sharing it with you..."
Just after the spoon left my mouth, he leaned nearer to plant a soft kiss on my lips. When he pulled himself away, he licked his lips.
"Your lips taste like the cookie dough ice cream you're eating..."
"Oops..." I covered my lips embarrassingly.
Jaejoong laughed, covering his mouth with his free hand. Then suddenly he stopped and took the bowl from me and placed it on the table. Next he lifted my hand covering my lips with his free hand.
"Gwenchanayo... I'll help you take care of that..."
"What..."
I got a shock when he suddenly leaned in and gave me another kiss. This time he pulled me nearer with his hand around my shoulder, and engulfed my lips in a kiss so passionate it reminded me of the dream I had of him back home. And I slowly gave in to his kiss, putting my arms around him. When he felt my arms go around him, he pulled me in closer to him with both his arms.
After a very very long kiss, he finally separated his lips from mine. And he leaned his forehead against mine.
"Yeogi... The ice cream's all gone now..."
I licked my lips to check. He smiled when he saw me do that.
"Oh yeah... You're right..."
"Well if you're not sure, I can try again..." He leaned nearer.
"Aaaahhhh.... Andwae andwae andwae... gwenchana... gwenchanayo... No need... No need..."
"You sure you don't want me to try again???" he teased.
"Ne... Gwenchanayo..." I looked away at the bowl of ice cream, which had already melted into a bowl of white and brown cream.
"Ah.... My ice cream... All melted... Such a waste..." I leaned towards the bowl and looked at the melted ice cream in pity. I took the bowl and walked towards the kitchen to wash up.
"I thought you didn't like to wash up? Why are you washing now?" Jaejoong commented from the sofa.
"No choice... I'm the last person who touched it... You've already washed up the rest of the stuff for me already anyway... And it's just a bowl and a spoon... I still can handle it..."
As I started soaping them, Jaejoong walked over and propped himself at the counter. I turned and took a glance at the clock. It was already 11.30pm.
"Wow... The girls and guys are surely taking a long time having their dinner... *yawn*"
"If you're tired, don't wait up for them. Max already told you not to right?"
"Yeah... I think I'll head on to bed after washing up... I'm exhausted... Still have a busy day tomorrow... We're location receeing..."
I leaned my head from left to right to stretch my neck muscles. They gave a cracking sound. Seeing me stretch my neck, Jaejoong got over and started giving me a massage while I was rinsing the bowl and the spoon.
"Hmmmm... This feels good..." I placed the bowl and spoon on the rack to dry and closed my eyes to enjoy the massage.
"You're tired... Come on..." He started ushering me to my room.
"Wait, I gotta wash up first before I sleep..." And I walked towards the bathroom. I was brushing my teeth when he walked in.
"A...n't... u.. go..na.. go... bak...?" I mumbled with the toothbrush in my mouth.
Jaejoong smiled in amusement, "What? I can't understand a word you're saying..."
I spat out the froth and rinsed my mouth.
"Aren't you gonna go back?" I asked again, while wetting a face towel to clean my face.
He walked over and took my toothbrush, and squeezed toothpaste on it, before putting it into his mouth and started brushing his teeth. I stared at his reflection in the mirror in surprise.
"Joongie... Why are you washing up at my apartment?"
He spat out the froth and rinsed his mouth. Then he took the face towel from my hand, rinsed it and cleaned his face.
Then he looked at my reflection in the mirror and replied, "Cos I'm staying here tonight with you..."
"What?? Who said... You... I..."
He grabbed me by the shoulders and started pushing me towards my room.
"Joongie... I... The girls will be back... You can't stay.... You..."
"Yeobo... They won't be back tonight..."
"What do you mean they won't be back???? Max just said not to wait up for them... Wait... Wait a minute... Don't tell me..."
I turned at looked at him in disbelief.
"You asked the guys to take them out the entire night so they won't be back??!!!!"
He smiled at me dorkily in reply to my remark.
"Unbelievable..."
He turned me back around and continued pushing me into my room. I was still too shocked to react to whatever he was doing. He had ushered me into the room, pulled away the quilt and pushed me to get into the bed, and covered me with the quilt. Then he walked over and got in the bed from the other side, and shifted himself so that he was next to me.
"Kiki.... Yeobo~..." His voice made me snap out of my daze.
I turned abruptly towards him. He was lying right next to me, and facing me. I jolted back slightly when I realised that we were already in bed.
"Joongie... You and your crazy antics... I wonder how many girls have already "died" in your hands..."
"Well... For the record... You are the first to make me do something like this... So... The answer is... The one and only... You..."
He leaned nearer.
"By the way, you still owe me a hug..."
"Huh??? But you already hugged me just now right?"
"That's not called a hug. It's just my arm on your shoulders..."
"Like that also can!!!"
"Yeah... So you still owe me the hug of the day... So..."
"So???"
"Come nearer..."
I shifted myself nearer to him, and he slipped his arms around me.
"I wanna hug you to sleep..." he mumbled, closing his eyes.
"Huh???" I looked up to try to hear what he was saying better.
But he opened his eyes and looked down at me and planted a kiss on my forehead.
"Jaljayo (good night)... Sweet dreams... Yeobo~..." And he closed his eyes.
I looked at him with his eyes closed, and resigned to my fate, and closed my eyes too to try to get some sleep.
"Yoboseyo... Max... Kiki here... "
"Nuna!!! How did it go? Did hyung forgive you?"
"Ne, he did... But I can't meet up with you guys for dinner later..."
"Wae? I thought he forgave you?"
"Cos he wants to spend some time alone with me... So I can't join you guys... Mianeyo..."
"And you're obliging? And ditching us???!!!"
"Ne... I think I'd better oblige... Won't be able to do this so often when the work starts... Just want to spend as much time with him when I still can..."
"Does he know about the change in plot yet?"
"Anio... I haven't told him yet... I think now is not the time to do it... I'll just have to keep it a secret until the producers announce it. You guys are not supposed to know too. So do keep it a secret for me. Don't tell anyone else about it."
"Okay... I understand..."
"Enjoy yourselves then... Annyeongi kyeseyo..."
"Nuna..."
"Ye?"
"Kiki-nuna... Fighting!!! You can do it!"
"Kamsahamnida, Max..." I ended the call.
"Kiki... FIGHTING!!! You can do it... You just have to trust him... Miduhyo... Remember?" I thought to myself.
"I'm ready!!!" Jaejoong dashed out of his room in a huff and jumped in front of me.
I was awakened from my thoughts but his actions. I looked up at him, and stood up to leave with him. Once I stood up, he placed his arm around my shoulders, and pulled me closer to him. I responded by putting my arm around his waist.

"Anio... I..."
He pulled me closer to him.
"It feels so good to be able to hold you like this..."
I looked up at him, and he looked down when he felt me move in his arms.
"Yes, yeobo? What's wrong?"
"Why did you say welcome home just now? And why are you calling me yeobo? What's that?"
He smiled, "Cos I just wanted to see how it feels like... to call you honey..."
I blinked at his response blurly. Not knowing what he was thinking in his mind at all. His eyes exuded a gentleness that made my heart melt. I turned away to steady myself.
"Whatever... You just do whatever you want.. As long as it's not in public... You have to call me Kiki-shi in public..." I started walking towards the door.

I turned when I heard him say that, and gave a "Huh" look. He grabbed my shoulders with his hands and turned me back towards the door, leading me out to my apartment.
"Gosh, he is like calling me so many nicknames... And all so..." I shivered as I felt goosebumps go through me when I thought to myself.

"I know that it's definitely yours at one look... I was just playing around... I... You're not angry are you? "
I shook my head.
"Cos I got a surprise for you... Close your eyes..."
He reached over and covered my eyes with his hands.
"Joongie!!! What are you doing!!!"
"Don't worry... Just hold on to me and follow my guide..." He stood nearer to me so that my back leaned against his chest, and nudged me along. I grabbed hold of his hands around my eyes for security.
"You can stop now... But keep your eyes closed... I'll be right back..."
I felt his hands leave my eyes, and he stepped away from me. Then I heard music start playing softly in the background. It was "Miduhyo" the first song I heard from TVXQ. The first MTV that I saw of them... And the MTV that made me fall hopelessly for YoungWoong Jaejoong... How did he know it was my all-time favourite song???
I felt him walk back behind me, and place his hands around my waist. Then he whispered into my ear, "You can open your eyes now..."
I opened my eyes, and saw that he had prepared a nice candle-lit dinner for the two of us, and the table was very nicely set, with things that I didn't even know existed in my kitchen.
"Are these things all from my kitchen?" I turned around and questioned him in amazement.
"Ne... I did some scouting around... Hope you don't mind..."
"Wow... I didn't even know that I had them..."
Jaejoong laughed his musical laughter, and used his hand to cover his laughter.
"Yeobo, you're such a blur queen..." He tousled my hair with his other hand.
I scratched my head blurly, "I guess so... Better do a stock check sometime soon..."
He stepped beside me, and raised his elbow for me to hold on to. I obliged and let him lead me to the seat. Being a perfect gentleman, he pulled the seat for me, and waited for me to be seated comfortably before going to his seat. I looked at him across the candle-lit table, and felt really overwhelmed by his thoughtfulness.
Gosh... I could get used to being pampered by him like a princess everyday...
"Yeobo... Aren't you going to try my cooking?"
I snapped out of my daze and looked at him. I looked down at the nicely garnished plate of steak and took a whiff.
"Smells good..." I took up my cutlery and sliced a small piece of the steak, and brought it to my mouth. Jaejoong looked at me in anticipation as I tasted it.
"Eottokke?"
I smiled, "It's delicious... The sauce... done just to my liking... How did you know I like my steaks medium done? I don't remember telling you before? And we've never eaten steak before together..."
He smiled, "It's telepathy..."
"Gosh, you're so..." I shoke my head in disbelief.
"Hee hee... I just thought you'd like it this way, since I also prefer mine cooked this way..." He replied more seriously.
We enjoyed a quiet and intimate dinner, and had my favourite Ben & Jerry's cookie dough ice cream as dessert*, together in the comfort of my apartment sofa, without any "intruders" interrupting. Which made me wonder, why aren't anyone coming back at this time? I looked at the clock, it was already 10pm.
*The dessert is for me, since Jaejoong doesn't really like sweet stuff. He just pinches a few scoops from me, and that's about it.
"Joongie, how come the girls aren't back at this time? And they haven't called either. You know where the guys brought them for dinner?"
"They're probably not back yet from dinner. You know how long-winded U-Know can be, he's probably introducing some long history about some traditional food to them as we talk. can I have another scoop of the ice cream?" he replied nonchalantly, and opened his mouth, waiting for me to feed him the ice cream.
"Really... Okay..." I scooped a scoop of ice cream and placed it into his mouth.
As the spoon left his mouth, I placed it back into the bowl.
"I think I'd better give them a call to check where they are..." I placed the bowl on the coffee table and walked to the phone to give them a call.
"Yoboseyo... Max? Kiki here... Where are you guys now?"
"We're erm... still having dinner..."
"Still having dinner? At this time?"
"Ne... You know how long-winded U-Know-hyung can be, he's taking such a long time introducing some long history about the traditional food to the girls... Don't wait for us, we'll be late... And don't worry, we'll take good care of the girls... Annyeongi kyeseyo..."
"Yoboseyo... Yoboseyo... Max??" I put down the phone.
"What did they say?"
"Max said the same thing as you just told me... And asked me not to wait for them..."
"There... Just as I guessed..."
"I guess so..."
"Come on back over here... Your ice cream is melting..." He said, and took up my bowl of ice cream, and waited for me to sit myself back beside him, before passing the bowl back to me, and putting his arm around my shoulder.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile at the restaurant...
"Was it Kiki calling to ask about us?" Theo asked.
"Ne..."
"Jaejoong is too much man, actually banning us from going back tonight... I mean where are we going to sleep?"
"You can sleep over at our apartment..."
"Really?"
"Ne... You girls can take the room, we'll camp out in the living room..."
"Aw that's sweet of you... U-Know..."
"Hyung... Don't we get any say in this? It's our room too..."
"Mianeyo, you don't... Since you're the youngest..."
Max made a face.
"If it's not for nuna and Jaejoong-hyung, I won't be taking all these man..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Flashback...
When we were still over at their apartment, and I was waiting at the sofa for Jaejoong to get changed, he made a call to Micky and told him to not come back, and to bring the gang somewhere else to hang out for the night.
"Micky, can you bring the rest somewhere else for the night... I don't want Fifi and Theo to come back tonight... Cos I wanna spend some time alone with Kiki tonight..."
"Hyung!!! What are you thinking?!!!"
"I just want some quality time with her alone... I can't communicate with her with so many people around..."
"Okay... I'll see what I can do..."
"Kamsahamnida... Micky..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Actually I don't really like sweet stuff... But seeing the way you enjoy it, makes me think that it's not too bad..." Jaejoong pointed at my bowl of ice cream with his free hand, to indicate that he wants another scoop.
I fed him another scoop.
"Because it is so good in the first place... That's why you're enjoying it..." I smiled as I watched him let the ice cream slowly melt in his mouth to enjoy the taste, as I scooped another scoop for myself.
"Anio... I think it's cos I'm sharing it with you..."
Just after the spoon left my mouth, he leaned nearer to plant a soft kiss on my lips. When he pulled himself away, he licked his lips.
"Your lips taste like the cookie dough ice cream you're eating..."
"Oops..." I covered my lips embarrassingly.
Jaejoong laughed, covering his mouth with his free hand. Then suddenly he stopped and took the bowl from me and placed it on the table. Next he lifted my hand covering my lips with his free hand.
"Gwenchanayo... I'll help you take care of that..."
"What..."
I got a shock when he suddenly leaned in and gave me another kiss. This time he pulled me nearer with his hand around my shoulder, and engulfed my lips in a kiss so passionate it reminded me of the dream I had of him back home. And I slowly gave in to his kiss, putting my arms around him. When he felt my arms go around him, he pulled me in closer to him with both his arms.
After a very very long kiss, he finally separated his lips from mine. And he leaned his forehead against mine.
"Yeogi... The ice cream's all gone now..."
I licked my lips to check. He smiled when he saw me do that.
"Oh yeah... You're right..."
"Well if you're not sure, I can try again..." He leaned nearer.
"Aaaahhhh.... Andwae andwae andwae... gwenchana... gwenchanayo... No need... No need..."
"You sure you don't want me to try again???" he teased.
"Ne... Gwenchanayo..." I looked away at the bowl of ice cream, which had already melted into a bowl of white and brown cream.
"Ah.... My ice cream... All melted... Such a waste..." I leaned towards the bowl and looked at the melted ice cream in pity. I took the bowl and walked towards the kitchen to wash up.
"I thought you didn't like to wash up? Why are you washing now?" Jaejoong commented from the sofa.
"No choice... I'm the last person who touched it... You've already washed up the rest of the stuff for me already anyway... And it's just a bowl and a spoon... I still can handle it..."
As I started soaping them, Jaejoong walked over and propped himself at the counter. I turned and took a glance at the clock. It was already 11.30pm.
"Wow... The girls and guys are surely taking a long time having their dinner... *yawn*"
"If you're tired, don't wait up for them. Max already told you not to right?"
"Yeah... I think I'll head on to bed after washing up... I'm exhausted... Still have a busy day tomorrow... We're location receeing..."
I leaned my head from left to right to stretch my neck muscles. They gave a cracking sound. Seeing me stretch my neck, Jaejoong got over and started giving me a massage while I was rinsing the bowl and the spoon.
"Hmmmm... This feels good..." I placed the bowl and spoon on the rack to dry and closed my eyes to enjoy the massage.
"You're tired... Come on..." He started ushering me to my room.
"Wait, I gotta wash up first before I sleep..." And I walked towards the bathroom. I was brushing my teeth when he walked in.
"A...n't... u.. go..na.. go... bak...?" I mumbled with the toothbrush in my mouth.
Jaejoong smiled in amusement, "What? I can't understand a word you're saying..."
I spat out the froth and rinsed my mouth.
"Aren't you gonna go back?" I asked again, while wetting a face towel to clean my face.
He walked over and took my toothbrush, and squeezed toothpaste on it, before putting it into his mouth and started brushing his teeth. I stared at his reflection in the mirror in surprise.
"Joongie... Why are you washing up at my apartment?"
He spat out the froth and rinsed his mouth. Then he took the face towel from my hand, rinsed it and cleaned his face.
Then he looked at my reflection in the mirror and replied, "Cos I'm staying here tonight with you..."
"What?? Who said... You... I..."
He grabbed me by the shoulders and started pushing me towards my room.
"Joongie... I... The girls will be back... You can't stay.... You..."
"Yeobo... They won't be back tonight..."
"What do you mean they won't be back???? Max just said not to wait up for them... Wait... Wait a minute... Don't tell me..."
I turned at looked at him in disbelief.
"You asked the guys to take them out the entire night so they won't be back??!!!!"
He smiled at me dorkily in reply to my remark.
"Unbelievable..."
He turned me back around and continued pushing me into my room. I was still too shocked to react to whatever he was doing. He had ushered me into the room, pulled away the quilt and pushed me to get into the bed, and covered me with the quilt. Then he walked over and got in the bed from the other side, and shifted himself so that he was next to me.
"Kiki.... Yeobo~..." His voice made me snap out of my daze.
I turned abruptly towards him. He was lying right next to me, and facing me. I jolted back slightly when I realised that we were already in bed.
"Joongie... You and your crazy antics... I wonder how many girls have already "died" in your hands..."
"Well... For the record... You are the first to make me do something like this... So... The answer is... The one and only... You..."
He leaned nearer.
"By the way, you still owe me a hug..."
"Huh??? But you already hugged me just now right?"
"That's not called a hug. It's just my arm on your shoulders..."
"Like that also can!!!"
"Yeah... So you still owe me the hug of the day... So..."
"So???"
"Come nearer..."
I shifted myself nearer to him, and he slipped his arms around me.
"I wanna hug you to sleep..." he mumbled, closing his eyes.
"Huh???" I looked up to try to hear what he was saying better.
But he opened his eyes and looked down at me and planted a kiss on my forehead.
"Jaljayo (good night)... Sweet dreams... Yeobo~..." And he closed his eyes.
I looked at him with his eyes closed, and resigned to my fate, and closed my eyes too to try to get some sleep.

Destined 遐想 - Chapter 29
Chapter 29: Show's Love Declaration (Part 2)
"Show, this place is really perfect. It's like so romantic. Honestly, this is my first time dinning at such a place. And, why is only our table looking so elaborate? This is really very awkward ," said Ting as she drank her soup.
Ting and Show were at this restaurant dimly lit restaurant. The restaurant was nicely done up with drapes and chiffon. The table that they were sitting at was also specially decorated by Show. The chairs are nicely decorated with silk, completed with a chiffon ribbon at the back of it. Every table in the restaurant was not decorated except theirs.
"It's really alright. I've asked them to do it this way. This is prepared specially for the both of us. Don't feel embarrassed or shy. Just enjoy the night. Enjoy the company of being with me".
Ting smiled sweetly at Show.
"Thank you".
"Ting, I need to use the toilet. Will be right back".
Show left the table, and went to an obscure corner where Ting could not see him. He took out the hand phone and started dialing the number to Ying's hostel.
"Hello".
"Hey, Ning. It's me, Show. Can you do me a favour?"
"Alright. What is it?"
At the background, Ning could hear someone calling out for Show.
"Show!!! Are you ready? We have prepared everything you wanted us to".
"Buy some candles for me now? Will SMS you later and tell you what to do. I need to go now. Bye".
Before Ning could say anything, Show hang up the phone. Show passed an envelope to one of the staff and asked him to deliver it to Ying's apartment.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Workers from the restaurant were moving equipments up the mini stage that was situated directly right in front of the table where Ting and Show were sitting at.
Ting was wondering what was happening on the stage. Was there going to be some sort of special performance tonight? Ting knew that this restaurant was famous for engaging talented singers who perform daily gigs at such places. Ting was wondering who was going to be the singer for that night.
"Good Evening, ladies and gentleman. Tonight we have a very special guest. He is not the usual singers that we would see daily. Tonight this gentleman is going to sing a song and dedicate it to this very special person in his life. Let's us welcome, Show on stage to present us this song 完美型男".
Show came out from, walked towards the keyboard. He started playing the keyboard and sang at the same time.
Ting was shocked to see Show on stage. Does it mean that Show was dedicating this song for her?
"Every time I show you all my love
Every time I love you in my style
我想做愛情中完美的型男

Every time I hold u next to me

Finally, Show finished singing his song. Everyone in the audience started to clap.
"Ting, I've written this song specially for you. Hope you will like it. I really want to be that ideal guy for you. The guy that will always treasure you".
"Whoa....."
"So romantic".
The crowd started cheering and getting all excited by Show's declaration. It was not like one can see such a scene everyday.
"Why don't you bring that girl up on stage?" suggested someone from the crowd.
Everyone in the crowd started to chant Ting's name, urging her to go up to the stage. At this point, Ting was feeling very embarrassed, but at the same time happy.
Show walked towards Ting, stretched his hand out, gesturing to Ting to take his hand. Shyly, Ting stretched out her hand too. Show grabbed hold of Ting's hand and led her on the stage.
Once the both of them were on the stage, someone in the crowd then suggested another thing for the both of them again.
"Kiss her".
Gamely, Show planted a kiss on Ting's forehead.
"This girl here is someone I treasure very much. Hope that everyone of you here would give us your blessings. Thank you".
Once again, the crowd started to cheer for the couple on stage.
After that, the both of them returned to their table and continue their romantic dinner.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Goodnight, Show. I really had a enjoyable time today. Thank you".
"It's my pleasure to make my lovely princess happy. Goodnight. Sweet dreams".
Shyly, Ting gave Show a kiss. After kissing Show, she immediately open the door and dashed in to the hostel and shut the door, leaving Show stunned but happy. Ting stood behind the door for a while, with her heart beating so fast, as if it was going to jumped out by itself. She herself could not believe what she had done.
Before Ting could walked to her room, she saw that there were traces of candles around the hostel. The candles path was formed from the door to the Ting's bed. Ting followed the trail of the candle to her bed. On her bed, Ting found a card lying on her bed.
On the front the card, the words "For my lovely princess" were printed on it. Ting opened the card, there was a little message written in it.
On the card, the message was:
To my dearest Ting,
I hope that you had an enjoyable day today. I had such great fun with you. Every moment with you is enjoyable, even I myself could not figure it out. Even though the day started on the wrong foot, with me being all drenched due to Ning, but I still enjoyed myself tremendously. I really hope that we could be like this forever. If time could standstill, and I could only choose one thing to accompany me, that would be you. With you around, there would be never ending fun.
I love you.
With all of my love, Show.
After reading the message, Ting knew who meant more to her and who she should choose. Ting took out her phone and sent a SMS to both Show and Arron.
