Chap-15

I took a sip of hot coffee and smiled as a bird came to sit on the floor of the balcony of my room. I looked up at the blue sky, so beautiful. I smiled brightly and closed my eyes as happiness twril within me.

It has been a month since i came here, in Sirius Dorm. I enjoyed every single second of the day. They were nice, caring and considerate of me all the time. They tried making less noises in the morning. I helped Tae oppa and Ho yong oppa in cooking, though Ho oppa protested but he was grateful for my help. Tae-ri and i were like brothers now. We play, tease and make each other laugh. I sometimes hit him out of blue, but he never once minded and teased me as i didn't hit him hard.

Nam- joo and i even wrote a novel together. It was bit embarrassing but we kept it. The members refused to listen to it, as they said it's too embarrassing for them. But Seo-joon read it for my sake. I felt like my heart with burst with so much love he was giving me.

Baek kyung and i got closer as we were before. In this short span of time, Joo-ho became my dance teacher and me his lazy student. I learned quite good dance moves from him. One day, i asked him to show me blood and tears dance. He really did and i was left awestruck. He decided to teach me the dance moves as i liked the song and cheorography so much. I was so happy to hear that i hugged him. He got flustered but he only smiled and patted me on my head like a sister.

So after two weeks of hard work i was able to learn Baek kyung's starting dance moves and a bit more of all of their dances. Joo-ho was so proud of me that he proposed that i should show the rest members my dance. I almost fainted to hear that, but agreed with excitement. I was nervous wreck the next day when they sat down on the floor in front of me. Joo-ho came to me and patted my back and told me that i can do it. Once the song was on, my body started to move on it's own accord, so i let it free i danced and smiled as they all clapped and hooted. I was engulfed into warm hugs after i was done. They all were so proud of me and i can't forget when Ho oppa smiled, gave me a thumbs up and told me i did good.

That's how weeks past by like days and days past by like hours. I became a part of their family and received so much love and care that i never thought i would.

.........One day........ .

We were sitting in the living room, totally bored. Tae oppa just going through the channels as there wasn't anything interesting to watch. Seo-joon sighed out of boredom beside me, making me laugh at his upset expression. The moment was destroyed by Baek kyung's throat clearing. I looked towards him, who wiggled his eyebrows at us, giving us i-can-see-you-guys-getting-all cuddly look. I blushed and cleared my own throat and Seo-joon made a space between us. To which Baek kyung laughed out loud.

Damn you, Baek kyung.

"Guys why don't we have a Karaoke match?" Baek kyung suggested, standing up from the sofa and pulled his shirt down.

"Yes!" Tae ri said as he stood up too and walked out of living room.

"Where did he go?." I asked, confused looking where Tae ri left.

"He went to get the karaoke microphone." Tae Oppa said as they started to drag things away, making space in between.

"For dancing." Baek kyung asked my unspoken question as he saw my confused look. I nodded my head and helped them in setting the area.

"We should play as teams." Nam-joo suggested to which all agreed.

They were all bickering how to divide the teams, by age or by rapline or something else. I rolled my eyes at them and pushed Baek kyung back and stood in the center.

"Hey! As we have rapline outnumbered, i will join them and we will play as Rapline and vocal line. What do you think?." I said, looking at them.

They all agreed and Vocal line chose to sing first. The Rapline took a seat on the sofa, watching them. Tae-ri put on the song and Baek kyung started singing his part. We chose Sirius and some other artist songs as i didn't knew much.

I clapped by hands, bobbing my head to their singing and dancing. Joo-ho, Nam-joo and Tae Oppa joined them on the dance floor. Ho oppa and i were the only one sitting and laughing at their dance. They were not dancing just fooling around. Nam-joo had a colorful wig prop on as danced with a serious expression on his face. He looked too funny wearing that wig, we laughed at how ridiculous he looked.

They kept passing the wigs, Nam-joo to Baek kyung and then to Joo-ho and lastly to Tae Oppa. I was holding my stomach in pain as they left me breathless from continuous laughing. Tae Oppa fell the sofa seat beside me, breathing heavily.

"I am so tired." Tae Oppa said

They all stopped once the song ended waited for the result. They scored 87. We all clapped and cheered.

Now it was our turn. I stood up along with the rest and they let me chose the song.

"You will go first." Tae Oppa said.

"What!." I said laughing, Ho oppa nodded his head smiling.

I started the song and then my team joined me in. I was soon dancing and copying the moves they were doing. I got tired so sat down beside Baek kyung.

"They don't get tired?!. I am so done." I told Baek kyung and Tae ri.

They only laughed at me. I looked back at Tae Oppa dancing around then i remembered what he said, i am so tired.

But you still can't sit.

I smiled at the thought and decided to join back. Once again we all were dancing and in between Seo-joon and i danced without them noticing, they were too engrossed in their dancing to notice us.

....A few days later,

"Salt, soy sauce. Uh?" Tae Oppa said as i write it down on the paper.

Right now, Tae Oppa, Ho oppa and me were looking at the things that were finished and we needed to buy.

"Have you written everything that i told you?" Ho oppa i asked, looking back at me away from the cabinets.

"Yes. Check it and if i miss something then please add." I said, standing up from the stool, i walked towards him and handed him paper and pencil.

"Please can you go ask Seo-joon to give you the list of things he wants?." Jin Oppa said, getting on his knees to check the cabinets.

I nodded and left the kitchen, making my way towards his room. I was about to knock when the door opened and i was pulled in by my hand grasped by someone- Seo-joon.

"Oh What are you doing?." I asked, looking up to his mischievous eyes.

He smiled and pecked me, making me blush.

"Seo-joon." I whispered and put my head on my his chest smiling.

"Hmm?." I could hear stable heart beat.

"When are we going to tell them?." I asked him, moving back. His arms still around me.

"Today?." He asked, caressing my face softly

I smiled and nodded my head.

"Tae Oppa asked me to take the list of-"

I was rudely cut off my his lips against mine. But i didn't mind at all. I put my arms around his waist and kissed him back. Seo-joon used to sneak into my room at night and left early in the morning, trying his best not to get caught. That's how we have been having our moments together under the same roof with the rest.

He pulled back and smiled down at me. I felt my heart flutter, his eyes shining with love. I giggled and hit him on the chest.

"What?" He pouted and creased his forehead.

"Nothing." I said winking and removed his arms from my waist.

"Come on hand me over. They must be waiting for me." I told him,

He sighed and walked towards his table and brought back a long list.

"See you." I said and moved forward to kiss his cheek.

He smiled in happiness and nodded his head.

I walked back to the kitchen where Nam-joo stood wearing hideous clothes and mask that i couldn't recognize him for a minute.

"What's all this?." I asked, walking towards him.

"I have to visit library for a while, that's why i dressed up like this so that nobody can recognize me." He said, fixing his cap.

I nodded my head.

"Here the list." I handed Tae Oppa the list.

"I will give this to Seo jin, he will handle all this. You don't need to do this." Tae Oppa said to me.

"No. I am tired sitting in home and i have to get some things." I said, awkwardly.

Please understand i am a girl. I need girly stuff.

"You can write it down, i will make sure Seo jin gets you all things that you need." Tae Oppa,

Oppa you are nice and all, taking care of me but you don't understand.

"No. I meant... I need to buy them myself! Some girly stuff." I emphasized on my myself.

Hoping they would understand, Ho oppa was on his phone so he didn't hear me. But Nam-joo and Tae Oppa got flustered.

"I-uh-you-uh." He stuttered, which made the situation worse.

I bit my lip in embarrassment

"You and i should leave then. It's getting late. See you later." Nam-joo said, saving us from more embarrassment.

Tae Oppa nodded rapidly and we took our leave.

After two hours we were done. Nam-joo and i went to library together and then to grocery shopping. On the way back, i decided i will drive so Nam-joo let me and took his seat. We sang songs and share some stories through our career. As i pulled on the main road, i noticed a black car following us. I looked at it closely in the side mirror and realized it has been following us for a while now.

"Nam-joo. Dont ask why, just hold on tight." I told him, and he did as i told him.

He seemed to know something was going on, he looked to his left and saw the car approaching us at fast speed. I also increased the speed of our car and took several turns to make them confuse.

"We lost them." Nam-joo said, as he looked back and to his left.

I sighed and breathed out the air that i had been holding. I decreased the speed and drive at an average speed.

It was just a moment of peace when a that black car came from my right out of no where and hit my side of car and i immediately put my foot on the brakes.

The car made screeching noises and came to a stop after colliding with light pole. As we collided, i closed my eyes too scared to open them and i hit my head against the mirror at the impact and the air bag opened after it was done. I felt an exploding pain in my head and hold it.

"Eun Aee! Eun Aee?" I heard Namjoon calling me.

I couldn't answer as the pain was too much for me. I heard opening of the door and i was pulled out.

"Eun Aee!. Oh my god. Please answer!." I heard Nam-joo's scared voice.

"Nam-joo.. Go home." I told him through my pain.

"Okay okay." He said and put me on the back seat and put water bottle on my mouth. I drank the water and laid down. He started driving and i felt the pain lessen a bit. He was talking furiously on the phone, i wanted to tell him to calm down but i had no energy to do so. I felt a string wave of drowsiness came over me and i soon fell into darkness.

I blinked my eyes open and saw white ceiling above my head. I frowned and closed my eyes.

"She is awake!. She is awake!." I heard Baek kyung yelling.

I felt someone holding my hand tightly in theirs.

"Eun Aee " it was Seo-joon's voice.

I remembered what happened and i quickly sit on the bed.

"Nam-joo!." I said, looking around.

He was standing at the foot end of bed, looking anxious.

"Eun Aee. Relax, he is fine." Seo-joon said and hold me by my shoulders.

"Are you okay?" I asked Nam-joo, looking at his face.

He had a small cut in his forehead. Otherwise he seemed fine.

"I am fine, Eun Aee. Don't worry about me. How are you feeling?" He asked me, with a worried expression. hair a bit messy.

"I am fine." I said, looking back at Seo-joon.

He had red eyes and worried expression on his face.

Oh my god. He cried because of me?.

I felt my heart squeeze tightly at his condition.

"Please let doctor check her first." Baek kyung said, pulling Seo-joon back as he noticed my worried expression.

Seo-joon nodded his head and moved back, looking down. A elderly male approached me with a kind smile.

"Hello, i am doctor........ "

They all relaxed once doctor told them i was totally fine, no injury. Just minor cuts and swelling on my forehead due to impact.

"I am happy to hear that." Luca said as he patted my shoulders.

I nodded my head at him and gave him a small smile.

"I am fine. Please stop worrying." I told them all. Seo-joon sat near my foot on the bed and Baek kyung beside me. The rest took seats on bed and chairs around me.

I tried to sit before i could help myself several pairs of hand came my way to help. The gesture warmed my heart and thanked them as i settled down with my back leaning against the pillow in a sitting position.

"Who was behind it?" I asked Luca, who sat on a chair at the corner of my room with his hands crossed over his chest.

"It's being investigated. CEO Bang had ordered me to tell you all this, that you can't leave the house at all. We don't know how dangerous they can get. We were lucky today as they only hit you lightly. I can't even imagine what would had happened if they collided..." Luca stopped in mid sentence and rubbed his face in annoyance.

"We will get through this." I told them, looking at Baek kyung who looked anxious. He was trying to hide that he is worried behind his happy facade.

"You were hit, Eun Aee." Baek kyung said, with an upset expression

His face was white as sheet.

"Baek kyung, please relax. I am fine. We all will be fine." I said, patting his hand which laid beside me.

Luca, Tae Oppa, Ho oppa took Jimin out of the room. Joo-ho, Nam-joo and Tae-ri left after hugging me and telling me once again to let them know if i need anything. Seo-joon didnt left, he kept rooted to his place near the foot end of my bed.

"Seo-joon." As soon as words left my mouth, i was engulfed my his arms around me. He held me so tightly that if he lose his grip on me, i will fall and break like a glass.

He said nothing and kept hugging me. I felt my shirt soak with his tears and i only rubbed his back.

"Seo-joon" I whispered softly and felt my heart ache.

How a guy can be so sweet and lovely?.

He sniffed and moved back, wiping his face with his sleeve. His face was red.

"Please stop crying. I am here with you." I said, wiping a tear as it fell down from his eyes.

"I can't lose you, so stay by my side."

I felt my hand freeze on his face as his words processed in my mind.

It's been Four months since i took this job. Two and a half month since we have been dating.

"I really like you, Eun Aee. I was so scared, i almost lost you and thought i couldn't get to say this to you. So i decided to let you know of my true feelings for you." He said, grabbing my hand in his.

I kept looking at him as my heart was beating fast. He looked down at our hands and kissed my knuckles.

"I like you too, Seo-joon." I said, felt my eyes water with relief. He was extremely happy to know we have mutual feelings for each other.

I was moving on.

I was learning to love once again.

But it was real this time.

I have never felt this way before.

His lips pressed against mine as i felt my past slipping away, taking all the worries away.

Days passed by, i recovered with their help. They were so over protective of me and won't let me do a thing. A week was left for their world tour to start. They practiced day and night and were looking forward to it. Seo-joon and i didn't get the chance to tell them about our relationship. We used to have our mini dates in my room at night, which was sweet and adorable. So as they were away for practice, i decided to make dinner for them and we will disclose it today. Seo-joon felt bad for keeping our relationship secret from them except for Baek kyung, who get to know somehow and was really happy for us. But he waited for me to recover and when the time is right.

After i was done with cooking, i showered and changed into new clothes. I sat in the living room and watched a drama while waiting for them to come. I heard noises and door opening, announcing their arrival. I switched off the TV and went to greet them.

"Please change and come down. I have some news to tell you all." I told them as they came in.

Some wore confused looks, Baek kyung was trying not to smile, rest nodded and left. I smiled towards Seo-joon and winked at him as he passed me. He went from exhausted to elated. He understood my message and quickly went to his room. I organized the things and put all the food on the table.

Who ever entered the kitchen and found a large amount of food on table, they seemed happy and confused. Once we all were settled in our seats. They all turned to look at me, waiting for me to say. I looked towards Seo-joon, who was sitting beside me he nodded his head.

"Hyung. We are dating." He said, pulling our intertwined hands in the air.I covered my mouth with the other hand in shyness.

Nam-joo who was drinking water, started coughing as he heard what Seo-joon said. Ho oppa only blinked, Tae Oppa had his eyes widen and mouth slightly open and Tae-ri smiled shyly. Joo-ho had a shock lock over his face. Only Baek kyung was giving us his toothy smile.

"What did you say? You are too young for this" Tae oppa said, pointing his empty fork towards me. I rolled my eyes at him as the others chuckled at him.

"When did this happen?" Tae-ri said, looking between us, especially at our hands which were intertwined as they rested on the table.

"I thought you two were friends?" This was Nam-joo.

"We are still friends." I said to him and laughed at his confused look. Baek kyung also found him funny and started laughing.

"Who said we cant be good friends while being in a relationship?" to which he nodded his head with a chuckle.

"I am so happy for you guys. Totally made for each other." Baek kyung said as he nudged me with his elbow.

He knew all along but pretended that he got to know now.

"Congratulations. I was joking, I am happy for both of you." Tae Oppa said, smiling at us.

"It's good to hear you got someone who cares for you." Joo-hosaid and patted Seo-joon's shoulder.

"Congratulations. Stay happy." Ho yong oppa nodded his head and gave us his sincere smile.

"I kind of knew there was something going on within you guys but Baek kyung Hyung always said it's nothing, you guys were just good friends. Uh, i knew it! Well, i am really happy for you. Please take care of our Seo-joon." Tae-ri said as he narrowed his eyes teasingly and gave us smile

Baek kyung and i laughed at his comment.

"Congratulations. I hope you guys stay like this for a long time." Nam-joo said with a smile.

"There is one more thing." I said as we were about to cheer.

"What is it?." Tae Oppa asked. Waiting impatiently to drink and eat. I giggled at him.

"The result came out today and i Passed!" I told them about my test, that i have been preparing for past four months.

They all cheered and clapped for me. We spend the rest night talking, laughing and them teasing me.
