"Instead of outside looks, I look at the person's inner side, and truthful eyes." - Seung Ho

Yeah…. Runway is put on a hold until I can stop writing crap.
 
Sorry, promise to double/maybe even triple update over my break next week. On the bright side, I only have around a month of class and work left until Christmas break. On the dark side, I’m possibly taking 18 hours next semester. (wait listed on one and if I can’t get that class then I can’t take another) Even if I’m not taking 18 and I’m taking 16 instead, I’ll be taking some difficult classes( pretty much all bio and chem). Though I’m considering dropping Chinese to just take Japanese next year. Ugh. I don’t know anymore.
 
i just wish my major was easy or I at least didn’t have to take two years of a foreign language. (darn A&S college) ..Mind you I’m thinking about switching to another college( Speed school which is the Engineering college) because I don’t think A&S is for me. Or med school for that matter. Vet school or even engineering , on the other hand. I’m liking. I miss my engineering classes. And I’m already volunteering at the zoo, And just merp.
 
I’m rambling and I’m sure most of you want to just go ahead and read this installation. WHICH REMINDS ME- Keep SS ACTIVE. please and thank you. ^^ I’ll give you my love if you do.
 
Now, moving on…

“You’ll stay in the hospital over night. And rest for another day in the hotel. …If you feel up for it you can start performing the 19th or 20th.”
 
Junghyun told Kyri as she sat on the bed, staring out the window. Her complexition was paler than usual and her dark circles were ridiculously large. She kept quiet, nodding as Junghyun relayed EunHee’s message. Though when he mentioned, returning going up on stage the 19th or even the 20th at the latest, her head whipped over to him and she stood up instantly. The thin female pulled her IV along with her as she moved towards Junghyun and took his phone out of his hands.
 
“Ah! Kyri! I wasn’t done reading. …you can call Yongguk later, neh?”
 
“I don’t want to talk to Bang. ..”
 
She mummbled as she moved across the room, going through the contact list until she saw EunHee’s name. ( well, it was saved under something else but…it probably shouldn’t be mentioned) Pressing call, she held the phone up to her ear and waited until EunHee answered.
 
” Yo-“
 
“Unnie! …I’m not missing my musical debut stage. I feel great. The IV’s already working. I don’t need to stay in the hospital for another night.”
 
“… … Kyri. You passed out at a dress rehearsal. Take this time to rest for a couple days.”
 
“Ani. I feel fine, it was only a little fatigue. In fact, the doctor already said i could leave whenever I feel a bit more energized.”
 
“Actually, he didn’t sa-“
 
Junghyun spoke up behind Kyri but quieted down when Kyri looked back at him and pouted. She heard Eunhee sigh on the other end and Kyri smiled some.
 
“Alright, if you think you can do it…”
 

Kyri ended the call and gave the phone back to Junghyun before she called for one of the nurses.
 

- - - - - - — - - - - - - - -
 
“Y-You’re leaving? …Already?”
 
Seungho asked as he stepped into the room, a bag of snacks and some flowers in hand , just as Kyri was sitting down into a wheelchair. She looked up at him and put on a smile.
 
” Mhm. I feel better after the IV. …I’m going back to the hotel. I’m keeping it in for a couple more hours, then I’ll go to bed and get ready for the big day tomorrow.”
 
He sighed from EunJung’s response. Puffing out her cheeks, Seungho moved towards her and placed the flowers and snacks in her lap.
 
“I’ll take her down.”
 
He murmured in Japanese as he took the nurse’s place. The woman nodded and moved out of the way with a grateful smile. Without another word, he lead her out to the elevator and then to the awaiting hotel van. After helping her inside( no one wanted an IV to be pulled out), he pushed the wheelchair back into the lobby and slipped inside the van, shutting the door.
 
“You’re an idiot.”
 
He told her as she looked at him curiously, a cheese puff hanging out of her mouth. Not another word was exchanged between them, even after Seungho had pulled her legs into his lap. She whinced when he touched her previously broken ankle and flushed pink when he looked back at her with a brow raised. D.amn. She couldn’t hide anything from Seungho. Which was bad but right now, it felt pretty good, with him massaging her leg and foot. But! In most cases it was bad.

[ MBLAQ’s Seungho trying to steal SS’s Kyri's heart?]
 
It was reported earlier that SS’s Kyri had payed a visit to a near-by hospital after falling down during a dress rehearsal for the musical that she is currently casted in. The Hallyu star was reported to have just suffered from anemia and received an IV at the hospital, her fainting was nothing too serious and mainly because she had neglected to eat some breakfast .
 
The star took to twitter to attempt to reassure everyone that she was feeling fine and even posted a comical selca of her making a face with the IV still in. Many of her followers seemed to be relieved from her short message but it seems her co-star and long time friend MBLAQ's Seungho wasn't satisfied and had to check in on her himself.
 
Seungho was reportedly seen visiting the hospital that Kyri was at with a small vase of flowers. Not even thirty minutes later, both hallyu stars were seen on the way out as Seungho escorted Kyri to her van. He helped her in and after and even left the hospital in the same vehicle.
 
This recent incident didn't really catch the eyes of many. they are close friends after all. But a couple of netizens find it strange. Especially after a photo posted by G.O on twitter last week of Kyri playfully giving her friend a peck on the cheek as a thank you for pepero day and Seungho flushing bright red, there is a bit of suspicion. No one has seen Seungho that red before nor have they seen him smile that widely.
 
So, do you think it's possible? We all know Kyri is spoken for, but Seungho has apparently stolen girls from others before.
 
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
 

"Yongguk! I was just about to call you~"
 
Kyri answered her phone as she took a seat in front of the mirror so the stylist could starts on her hair. Her first stage was going in only a couple of hours. And despite feeling terrible yesterday, she actually felt great right now.
 
"Call me to wish me luck, right? ...I was beginning to think that you weren't going to."
 

She continued, trying to fill up the silence. It was a bit awkward talking now. Especially after not saying a word to each other after so long. But now wasn't the time for her to follow the mood. She need to stay focused on the musical.
 
" ah, neh. ...Sorry about not calling... o-or texting. We've been busy. I-I just... ah, what are your doing now?"
 
Yongguk started hesitantly. And before she knew it, he had quickly changed the subject. Furrowing her brow, Kyri shot the stylist a confused look in the mirror. The stylist narrowed her eyes and quickly tilted her head forward once more.
 
"...I'm getting my hair styled....for the musical."
 
"oh! yeah, the musical. I just wanted to tell you to 'Break A Leg' Ah! I mean, I need to tell you something."
 
She jumped when yongguk yelped, her brows furrowing even more from the strange behavior.
 

"why are you acting strange...?"
 
"I-I'm not. Himchan just stepped on my foot. Anyway, I need to tell you something."
 
" So go ahead and tell me before unnie pulls out my hair."
 
She laughed lightly.after what seemed like an eternity of silence, yongguk took a deep breath and started talking once more.
 
" I... I love you Kyri Kwon. A-And I'm not going to let anyone take you from me."
 
Blinking, Kyri flushed bright red from his words. She wasn't expecting something like that. Catching a quick breath, when she heard him calling for her, Kyri bit her bottom lip.
 
" I...I ...."
 

"it's okay if you don't say anything right now. I just wanted you to know. So, just focus on your musical right now and I'll see you when you get back. Break a leg, baby~"
 
After ending the call, she stared blankly at the phone in her hands, face still flushed. Did she just imagine that conversation?
 
" EunJung-ah~ Are you listening to me?"
 
Seungho asked, raising his voice as he took a seat in the chair beside her. Kyri whipped her head up and stared at Seungho before smiling slowly. Cutely, he might even. too cute even.
 
" Sorry, What were you saying again?"
 
__________________________________________________________________________
 
I'm not sure if this is long. Or too short. Or, I don't even know. But does everyone generally get the reason why yongguk hasn't called? He's a jealous boyfriend. And he's had something on his mind too. Good thing Himchan is around to force it out of him.

"Director-nim~" HweJi greeted the female brightly , followed along by Jinyoung.The stunning woman smiled, standing up to greet the agent. The directors eyes went to Jinyoung, looking him up and down. If only all models came that beautiful.
 
"Hweji, I thought I told you I don't need male models...no matter how pretty.."
 
"Well, I just thought I'd give it a shot. And even if you don't need him now, you might be needing him in the future~"
 
HweJi responded before formally introducing Jinyoung. The male model, bowed and sent the director a smirk as he took as outstretched hand.
 
" It's a pleasure to meet you. Hopefully we'll work together in the future." He finally spoke up. After their introduction, all three took seats at the table and Hweji pulled out a profile with all of her models inside.
 
"I marked the girls I think would be perfect for what your looking for." She stated as she handed it off the other woman. Director-nim nodded and immediately began flipping through it. Her expression remaining the same as she looked at each marked photo. She sighed softly by the time she was at the fourth model.
 
" These girls... ...they're gorgeous, by all means. But ...they're just like any other model. " the director commented, taking a sip of her tea and sitting back after placing the profile back on the table. Hweji's jaw dropped slightly and Jinyoung's smirk only grew more.
 
"Not all of them are the same. you didn't even get to Ana yet." hweji tried defending, quickly flipping through the book until she found who she was looking for. Jinyoung chuckled and took the book from her hands.
 
" Auntie~ ...Isn't Ana is Milian until next summer?" He asked, browsing through the book himself. He knew who he was looking for, or at least he knew what she looked like anyway. hweji pursed her lips and nodded, eying Jinyoung. ...He wasn't supposed to say that. In fact, he wasn't supposed to say anything. "...Here. i think she's who you're looking for Director-nim"
 
Jinyoung gave the book back to the director, letting her glance over it. The older model's brows raised in interest before she closed the book and handed it to Hweji. " I like her. Tell her to be at my place tomorrow at eight." She spoke standing up once more, gathering her items this time.
 
"I'll be on my way...Oh and jinyoung-ssi, make sure you come with her." With those finals words, the woman was out the door.
 

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
 
"Wenny~ ...You can't leave me to unpack all by myself."
 
Kiko whined, clinging onto her friends waist. Wenxia seemed completely un-phased as she continued navigating through the mess of unpacked boxes just to get ready. She need to hurry up and get ready.
 
"Stay with me pleaseee~" Kiko continued whining. " I can't do this alone~" Wenxia chuckled lightly and pat the girl on the head.
 
"just work on unpacking your things and when I get back, I'll finish the rest." Wenxia smiled as she wiggled out of the others arms and pulled on a pair of pants and discarded the robe she was wearing. Kiko pouted, taking a seat on Wenxia bed,plastic crinkling under her weight.
 
Silence settled between them as wenxia continued dressing and redressing trying to find the perfect outfit. Just as she finally decided on her outfit, someone knocked on the door. "Kiko, go get it. it's probably Hweji."
 
The tall girl nodded quietly and slowly made her way to the door, not even bothering to check who is was before she opened the door. "Is Wenxia ready yet?"
 
"No. but, she'll be ready in two days." Kiko smiled, as she started closing the door. " Ah! i finally ready, sorry for the wait Hwej-" Wenny spoke as she came entered the living room, stopping immediately when she saw that it wasn't hweji but the same guy she saw in the lobby maybe a week ago. Kiko grumbled quietly and started back towards her room. " See you later then." She mumbled before shutting herself in her room.
 
"You look great. [ost: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqhYbOuf8Ok ] Are you ready? " Jinyoung asked, glancing down at his watch. Wenxia continued to stare, barely even registering the question as she somehow managed to nod.
 
" Great. Let's go. " He smiled, taking Wenxia hand and pulling her out the door.

Whelp. Another chapter will be up later tonight.
 
Sorry it took me so long, but i wrote them over break and just didn't get around to actually typing today. .But! they are here.
 
One song because ...well, just because. o n o I thinking it shall be the main one. And yeah. bleh. /rolls away/

The first night Mina drinks is the last night of her vacation.
 
Taemin doesn't say anything because he doesn't know. and honestly he is being distracted by a group of locals. So when his girlfriend mistakes a drink as some juice, no one really is around to stop her. even when she has had one drink too many because Mina looks like she's holding her liquor well. There isn't much change in the way she acts. Still quiet. Still sitting with perfect posture as if she was a doll.
 
And when Taemin finally manages to get back over to her, Mina smiles widely and wraps her arms around him for a hug. It barely registers to her that the taemin she is hugging right now isn't as thin or soft as usual. Or that he doesn't look the same. Or that his clothes are very different than what they were when they left the hotel.
 
" Oppa~ ... I'm tired~ Let's spend time together since it's the last night."
 
Mina pouts. Whatever natural aegyo she poses surfaces as she looks up at her Taemin for the night with wide eyes. Jaejoong can only look at the quiet girl he has gotten to know out of amazement. He didn't know she could be this cute. And how could he say 'no' when she was holding onto his like this.
 
" Araso. We'll take a walk."
 
He says, standing up, waiting for Mina to join him. It take her longer than necessary to stand in place and she does have stay still for a few moments just so her head can quit spinning.
 
Jaejoong's brows raise in interest as he watches her. And he muttered quietly to himself as he shakes his head, smiling slightly.
 
"How about I just take you to the hotel?"
 
He offers, mina nods slowly and starts in the direction of the hotel. She is swaying a bit side-to-side but other than that she somehow manages to walk straight. that is until she trips over her own feet. Racing to her side, Jaejoong pulls her back up and laces their fingers together.
 

" Be careful~"
 

" I am."
 
Mina pouts once more as she is pulled along.
 
When they are half-way to the hotel, they stop for jaejoong to run into a convenience store and get some water and medication for Mina. For the next morning. He mistakenly leaves her outside. So when he comes back to get her, Mina is no where to be found.
 

"Mina!"
 
he calls, looking around. She could have wondered off by herself...right?
 
"Mina!"
 
He calls again, this time more frantically. He starts towards the hotel, calling out for her as he goes. Hopefully she just went ahead by herself.
 
"Mina-"
 
Jaejoong stops when he sees some person crawling into the bushes. ...That couldn't be?
 
Moving towards the figure, Jaejoong taps them lightly on the back and waits as they struggle to crawl back out. When the person sits back on their knees, Jae is surprised to see that it's Mina. He's not that surprised to see a cat in her hand though. Though he is surprised that it's Mozart. He curses under his breath quietly as he takes in how messy the two of them are. just how in the hell does someone get that messy in a matter of seconds.Sighing softly, Jaejoong kept his eyes on minah as she cooed softly into Mozart's ear, hugging the cat close. Mozart didn't seem to mind the first few seconds but when she squeezed him tighter, his tail began flicking back and forth out of annoyance as he growled lowly. Within seconds he turned on Mina and made his escape.
 
"mozart!"
 
Jaejoong half scolded as he watched the cat escape. He narrowed his eyes, watching as the cat disappeared in the direction of his own home, almost tempted to follow behind him. But the soft sniffles of Mina kept him from leaving.
 
" ...H-He's gonna be gone. .... A-And I'm going to be left alone again...."
 
She murmured, holding her arm close(where Mozart scratched her) and rocking back and forth slightly. Jaejoong honestly didn't catch most of what she was saying. It was only really clear in snippets but what he did know was that he needed to quieten her down.
 
"Shh...shhh~"
 
Jaejoong cooed as he knelt down beside Mina and pulled her into a hug. She continued mumbling nonsense, shaking her head as she tried to pull away. Frowning, Jaejoong held her tighter, patting her back gently.
 
" Ani~ ...He'll be back Mina. He likes you too much not to come back."
 
"A-appa... A-appa didn't come back though. He left and never came back. H-he left me alone. And Taemin is going to do the same thing."
 
She cried softly now. Jaejoong blinked, his face softening as he held Mina even closer as she slowly quietened down. Picking her up, he carried the girl back to the hotel and up to her room, making sure to clean her wound after he put her in bed.
 
Sighing softly Jaejoong, caressed her cheek , wiping away the dried tears with his thumb. Before leaving the room, he gave her a light kiss on the forehead and whispered 'goodnight.'
 
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
 
"Come to say goodbye?"
 
Jaejoong asks when he opens the door and sees Mina. Her eyes are swollen and complexion is a bit pale but she still manages to nodd and smile slightly. So Jaejoong of course lets her in just as Mozart decides to peak out from behind his legs.
 
Quietly, she sits down on the ground and reaches out for the cat, rubbing him under his chin to gain his trust once more before taking him into her arms.
 

"I guess you're leaving today?"
 
"... ... Neh."
 
" And Taemin will be leaving too?"
 
"... ... ..."
 
"what'll you be doing then?"
 
".... ....Going to school."
 
"Mm... If you want, you can stay here. I mean not with /me/ but with my grandmother. I'm going back to seoul for a couple of months to close my restaurant. But I need someone here with her and if you stay.... you won't be lonely..."
 
He trailed off, the offer hanging between them. Mina stayed silent, still petting Mozart before suddenly standing up and heading back to the door. Jaejoong didn't stop her and even say goodbye as she left, instead he just stood there staring at the door. When he felt mozart rub against his leg for some attention, he picked the feline up and began scratching behind his ear.
 
" you think she'll be back?"
 
He asked, the cat as he headed back to his bedroom, the feline simply purred in response, tilting his head to the side.
 
____________________________________________________________________
 

 
Oh my. What have I done?
 
I ended this quicker than I thought.
 

holy....
Expect another story sometime soon.

"Are you going to answer that?"
 
Himchan asked, eying Bang's phone as it vibrated across the table. yongguk glance at the screen and looked away, back to the computer moniter. His phone continued to move across table for a few more seconds before finally silencing and Himchan just continued to watch his friend, brows furrowed. just as he was opening his mouth to ask another question Yongguk cut him off.
 
" Don't. I'm not in the mood and it's none of your business."
 
He spoke promptly, deep voice sharp and cold. Closing his mouth, Himchan pursed his lips. He had never heard Yongguk sound so...cold.
 
- - -
 
Tossing her phone across the room, Kyri sighed and stood up from the couch in the dorm. the few members that were eating in the kitchen all looked up and watched as their leader headed into the bathroom, cringing slightly whenever the door slammed shut.
 
" Why's the queen so pissed?"
 
Ree asked as she stepped out of her room, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes and yawning.
 
" Shh... Unnie is just stressed a lot Gyeong Ri-yah. She's preparing for a musical, a comeback soon, Kayla & Strawberry left, and her and Yongguk haven't been talking lately. ...He's ignoring her calls."
 
Immy explained, whispering the last part as Mia grabbed JM to join her so they could talk to kyri. The disappeared down the hallway, knocking lightly on the bathroom door before joining Kyri in the bathroom.
 
" Eunjung unnie~"
 
Mia spoke softly, kneeling down beside Kyri as she sat on the toliet drying up whatever tears had escaped. She wiped at her eyes and forced a smile as she looked at JM and Mia.
 
" Hey ~ "
 
Her voice cracked some, but her face stayed composed.
 
" We were just wondering if you wanted to talk unnie?"
 
mia continued. Kyri pursed her lips, taking her time to answer before she finally began talking. not before starting with an apology, of course. All of her frustrations spilling out at once before she finally quieted some to apologize once more.
 
"... I sorry. I'm just sick of everything. Sick of always being responsible. Sick of being left. Sick of always having to adapt. Sick of being ignored. Sick of messing up so much. Sick of disappointing so many people. And..."
 
" ...Sick of flying?"
 

JM offered trying to lighten the mood. Kyri chuckled slightly, nodding in agreement as she sniffed once more.
 
" Yes. I'm defiantly sick of flying."
 
JM gave a half smile before hugging her leader. Kyri let her, Mia joining the hug .
 
"why don't you just stay in Japan unnie... until the musical ends? You can work on the album in Japan with Teddy or other producers every so often. We can handle everything here, it's not like we're promoting. ...And I'm sure Yongguk will come around. He's just jealous about how close you and Seungho are."
 

Mia suggested. Kyri nodded slowly as she contemplated the idea. Just as she was about to answer they heard a knock at the door.
 
"Kyri-yah~ ...We have to get going before you miss your flight."
 
They were quiet. before laughing out loud suddenly.
 
"Why can't I just sail to Japan~?"
 
She whined as they all stood up and filed out of the bathroom. Manager Junghyun clicked his tongue and shook his head as he stood by the door smiling slightly. Before she slipped on her boots, Kyri hugged Mia and JM once more. By then everyone had scattered back to their rooms with the exception of Ree.
 
"Bye~ ...Oh and Ree, if the choreography isn't perfect when I get back I might have to expose some of your weird habits the next time I go on strong heart"
 
She waved tiredly as Junghyun-ssi "pull" her out of the door. Ree blinked ... she didn't have weird habits. At least she shouldn't.
 
" Instead of worrying about if Ree is dancing well, you should worry about yourself. "
 
Junghyun said as a joke on their way down to the van.

You don't have to want something to be good at it.
 
WenXia realized that when she passed by a rack of magazines with the face of one of the few girls she had a call back with a couple months on it's cover. She stood in front of the magazines, lips pursed as she analyzed the picture. The girl had been complaining under her breath the entire time, mumbling words of only wanting the job because of the money, that it'd help with her tuition, and that models were just pieces of plastic. When Wenxia had tried confronting the girl about her assumptions, the other had only rolled her eyes and ignored the smaller girl. As the girl walked away, wenxia assumed that she wouldn't see her face again. A very wrong assumption, especially considering the fact that it was her face on the cover of the magazine instead of some other girls. biting down on her stained bottom lip, Wenxia finally reached out and took a copy of the magazine, paying for it and hurrying across the street.
 
"Wenny! "
 
A female called out, raising her arm above her head and waving a bit frantically. She stood out, so the waving was unnecessary but Wenxia couldn't help but wave back to the other, taking quicker steps to reach her companion in front of the building.
 
" Oh my god, I thought you weren't going to make it."
 
Wenxia was pulled into a tight embrace, forced up on her tip toes as she hugged the taller female. Her cheeks heated up when the other kissed her, she gave out kisses to everyone, especially close friends and didn't care at all if they were in public. The taller let wenxia go and, hooked her arm around the small frame of her friend.
 
"Okay, so I was thinking..../we/ could hurry up and sign the contract today then grab some lunch with my team. Maybe go to a club later an-"
 
" Kiko, I can't. After we sign the contract I have a meeting with my company. And then i have a go-see in the morning."
 
She interrupted her friend, frowning just a bit from having to ruin whatever the other was planning for today. Kiko pouted, seeming a bit put down before she brightened up as another idea hit her.
 
" Fine. Then I'll have lunch with my team, you go do whatever it is you need to do, i'll pick you up at your agency, we'll head to my place , have dinner and you will sleep over~ How about that?"
 
Kiko glanced over at her and she could only shrug. Which of course meant yes, after all she wasn't saying no. Grinning, kiko pulled wenxia into the real estate agency where they would be signing the contract to their new apartment.
 
" Love you, Wenny~"
 
She spoke in a singsong just as they were greeted by their agent.
 
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
 
"/WHO IS THAT?/"
 
Wenxia's boss's eyes lit up whenever she spotted Kiko standing around in the lobby, looking up at the ceiling as she spun in circles. The brunette looked up, confused until she spotted her friend. Quickly she wiped at her eyes, blinking away whatever tears that were about to fall and forced a warm smile just as Kiko spotted her.
 
"Wenny! I thought your meeting was never going to be over."
 
She smiled brightly, hurrying over to her friend. Wenxia's boss put on her best buisness face and quickly pulled out a card.
 
"Y...yeah, sorry it took so long Kiko. I was just chatting with my boss some more."
 
"Boss?"
 
Kiko looked over at the older woman with wide eyes before she bowed slightly.
 
"ah, Annyeonghaseyo. I'm Mizuhara Kiko, a friend of Wenxia's."
 
She introduced herself nervously. Though despite the pronunciation not being the best the older woman still kept her smile, brows raising even more in interest.
 
" Mm, I'm Wenxia's boss, Kim HweJi"
 
She offered her card, Kiko taking with another small bow.
 
"It's nice to meet you."
 
" The same here, I never knew wenxia had other model friends outside the agency."
 
"Aniyo. I'm not a model. "
 
" Really? You're so tall and beautiful though. You'd be perfect for modeling. "
 
Just as Kiko opened her mouth to respond, she was cut off as HweJi spotted someone at the desk in the lobby. A red-headed guy. Relatively young, in his early twenties, slim build, and practically perfect features. Wenxia would have assumed he was a model if wasn't for the fact that he was on the short side to be considered one. ' Catalog, maybe? ...But he's too gorgeous for something like that...' She found herself thinking as she stared at the male.
 
" JinYoung-ah! you came at the perfect time, I was just trying to scout another girl for the agency. Well, see you girls. Remember to give me a call kiko, even if you're not interested. I'd like to talk a bit more."
 
Hweji said her goodbye and quickly went to lead Jinyoung back to her office. The redhead, greeted the woman and followed behind her, glancing back at the two girls who were on their way out before his attention was dragged back to the conversation with his boss. wenxia kept her eyes on them. He was too handsome not to be a model but then again he wasn't exactly that tall. Maybe a stylist ? He was dressed well, not in any brand that she would know right off the back though. Regardless of what his occupation was stylist or model, wenxia couldn't keep her eyes off of him and kiko had to literally drag her away.
 
" So, how'd your meeting go?"
 
...Right, her meeting. Letting out a deep breath, Wenxia shrugged.
 

" I think we should just go ahead and go out tonight Kiko."
 
She faked a smile. There was nothing to be sad about, not getting any call backs for any of her runway or editorial potential jobs was something that happened to a lot of models. and being told to stick to catalog was nothing all that terrible either. Kiko looked at her best friend for a few quiet seconds, eyebrows raise before she smiled.
 

" We're going out tonight!"
 
She declared loudly, causing a few citizens passing by to just stare.

Also in case you're not sure who is who. Wenxia is model YanRan( longer hair). And Kiko is well kiko(shorter hair).
 

Also, the set is pretty bad but I felt like I was cluttering everything and I just went very simplistic.
 

 
anndddddd I'm anticipating this.

"Seungho-yah~!"
 
kyri called just before she hoped onto the other's back, wrapping her legs and arms around him just so she wouldn't fall. Seungho stumbled forward a bit, surprised at first but eventually grasped her legs and turned his head to try and look at her.
 
" Hey EunJung..."
 
he murmured his greeting. Kyri smiled brighter and tightened her arms around his neck as a form of a hug.
 
"Seunggie~ It's been so long since we've met, and now we'll be working together."
 
She spoke sliding off of his back now. a few other cast members were watching the two interact curiously. It was impossible to seem annoyed when Kyri was this cheerful. Smiling warmly, he nodded and chuckled softly.
 
" Maybe if you weren't so busy promoting and with your--...with Yongguk, we could have hung out"
 
She pouted just a bit, but still agreed with him.
 
" I guess so, but now we'll be spending time with each other regularly. so now you won't be lonely~"
 
"...I wasn't lonely"
 

"If you say so~"
 
Kyri said playfully before going to greet other cast members. Seungho kept his eyes on her, smiling as he shook his head.

Update! o u o
 
Err...yeah. Maybe another tomorrow depending on how fast I edit and finished the runway one that I'm working on.

"Mina~!"
 

Taemin called, trying to get his girlfriend's attention. She turned her head to look at him only to be surprised once their lips touched. Feeling her cheeks heat from the lip contact, she immedately leaned back some, putting a hand over her mouth as she stared at Taemin with wide eyes. He was just as flushed, though he didn't seem as surprised.
 
"Ah, S-Sorry for surprising you. "
 
He apologized with a sheepishly smile. Mina nodded, moving her hand away from her lips slowly.
 
"C-Can I...?"
 
He asked, stuttering and flushing even more. The female looked at him quietly for a few more minutes, trying to study his face before nodding slowly. Well...they were 'dating'. And they had been for long time. But more than that, Taemin would be leaving soon after vacation so...
 
He smiled softly, before letting an unsteady hand reach out to cup Mina's cheek as he leaned in an kissed her once more. A longer kiss this time and it probably would have been longer if it wasn't for a group of people suddenly calling out for Taemin. He pulled away and leaned his head against Mina's, their noses touching and his eyes still closed as he whispered a quiet thank you. Not even a second later he had already pulled back more, pushing himself up off the sand, calling out to whoever they were supposed to spend time with.
 
When the group got closer, Taemin offered his hand to Mina and pulled her up, not letting go of it as he usually would. ...He wasn't going to let go until he absolutely had to.
 
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
 

Taemin didn't like Jaejoong. And it wasn't so much that he disliked the other as a person or even disliked him 'just because'. It was more of the fact that he might have been a bit jealous of the other. Afterall, Mina liked him and wasn't even like the guy had even tried to get her to like him.
 
So when his girlfriend said something about going to see some kittens with Jaejoong later that evening, Taemin of course asked to join them. They had less than a week to be together and he was not going to loose her or spend a second without Mina during the few days they had left.
 
their visit to see the kittens was...nice, that is if you don't take into account that Mina was scratched. Which of course, cut their visit short with Mina's wound being treated quickly by Jaejoong and them the older male walking them(her) back to the hotel. And despite the visit being cut short and being scratched Mina still had a smile on her face. While Taemin was just sulking behind the two all the way into the lobby.
 
" Bye you two, and I'm sorry about your hand Mina."
 
Jaejoong started as they were saying their goodbyes. Taemin waved slightly and was going to continue with his sulking but stop once he saw Jaejoong taking a hold of Mina's injured hand. He ran his thumb over the wound gently and smiled sadly.
 
" Remember to put ointment on it so it'll heal up quickly."
 
Jaejoong said at last, letting go of her hand and leaving. ...Taemin really didn't like Jaejoong. Pursing his lips, he focused on Mina, frowning just a bit as he took a hold of her hand and kissed the bandage covered wound.
 
" I'm sorry Minnie~ It was my fault you got scratched."
 
He murmured he apology. Mina smiled softly and pulled her hand away, only to replace it with her other as she lead Taemin outside. It was only a scratch after all, so she wasn't worried about it.
 
"Where are we going?"
 
Taemin asked, a little confused. Mina looked over at him and nodded towards the direction of the beach.
 
"On a walk~"
 
She responded, her eyes disappearing into a slits as she smiled and continued to lead the way. Taemin returned the smile(Who wouldn't?) and squeezed her hand slightly. A walk sounded nice.
________________________________________________________________________
 

Much shorter than originally planned, but after loosing the story a couple of times and hating where it is was head even more after those few times , then getting angry, I decided to go in another, much simpler direction. ono;

"I think I'm going to take a nap..."
 
Jaejoong's grandmother announced, yawning soon after. It wasn't like she was excusing herself from a conversation, unless a one-sided conversation counts as one. then again, Mina was listening and sort of responding(if nodding counts).
 
Standng up,Mina put Mozart down onto the floor and helped the woman up just as Jaejoong popped in from the kitchen to 'check' on them. He looked alittle surprised, hurrying quickly to his grandmother's side.
 
"Halmoeni...Lunch is almost finished"
 
He told her. The old woman only shook her head and tired moving away from her grandson.
 
" I'm tired Jaejoong-ah.."
 
She got out as she started very slowly towards another room. Jaejoong nodded and stayed by her side the entire way, leading her into her room. He came out a few moments later, frowning just a bit until he noticed Mina standing in the middle of the room. 'Ah, I almost forgot...she's too quiet' He thought as he gave the girl a small smile.
 
"You're still staying for lunch right? ...A bacheolor eating with his cat alone is a little depressing if you think about it."
 
He joked, trying to see if Mina would smile just a bit. She looked at Jaejoong blankly before mumbling a yes. This time he was sure of it. He saw her lips move. Smiling more widely, he gestured toward the set table.
 
"Then, have a seat and I'll finish setting the table."
 
Mina nodded, taking a seat at the table and watched as Jaejoong went back into the kitchen. She was facing it, so she could see him finish up the food. He worked swiftly, dressing and tossing a salad and plating food for three. He was focused on only one thing and barely even payed attention to the fact that Mina was watching him closely.
 
Looking up and over across the smalls island, he smiled when he met Mina's gaze, chuckling quietly to himself when she looked away quickly. 'She's really cute...' He thought to himself as he began to take their dishes out to the table, sitting one in front of Mina and then on across from her. Taking a seat, poured a glass of water for both of them.
 
"just tell me if it doesn't suit your taste"
 
Jaejoong told the girl before he began eating. He expected it to be a quiet meal. And it was, he wasn't going to sit there and fill up the silence with his own voice. He felt like it wouldn't do any good. So the two sat there, eating in silence. Though it wasn't all that uncomfortable.
 
Once they finished their meal, Jaejoong cleared the table and put the dish in the dish washer. And Mina fed Mozart. Though not because Jaejoong asked, rather it was because Mozart asked. Turning around when he heard the sound of some cat food being poured into a bowl, Jaejoong smiled slightly and shook his head.
 
"You don't have to feed him..I'll get."
 
He spoke. Mina looked up and smiled, shrugging her shoulder and continued pouring the food in the bowl. When Mozart began rubbing against her leg and purring, she giggled softly and bent down to rub his head before placing the food down.
 
"It's fine...he's hungry now after all."
 
She responded, still petting Mozart. Jaejoong's eyes widened. That was probably the most he had heard her say, or even seen her mouth move.
 
"So you can talk~"
 
He said playfully, after regaining some composure. Mina looked up at Jaejoong, nose crinkled up as she smiled.
 
"I never said i couldn't talk"
 
"...Right because you never said anything~"
 
Her nose crinkled up more and her dark eyes narrowed from his words.
 
"I just don't talk to people I don't like..."
 
She finally told him.
 
"...So, you didn't like me until you had my food?"
 
Jaejoong scoffed and shook his head.
 
"Typical. No one likes me until I feed them"
 
He tired to seem annoyed by that fact but only ended up smiling.

"Mina~ I was looking for you everywhere~"
 
Taemin pouted when he finally ran into his girlfriend. She was laughing at something someone else said and looked a bit surprised at seeing Taemin.
 
"Ah! ...You're done with the others?"
 
She asked, considerably in a brighter mood as she stood up from her chair. Taemin nodded and kept his eyes focused on Jaejoong.
 
"Yeah. We were going hang out some more later tonight and I thought you might want to come. ...Also my parents were wanting to have dinner together.So...we should probably go to get ready."
 

Mina nodded and turned back to Jaejoong, who nodded.
 
" I'll let you visit the kittens tomorrow then. Just text me and we can meet up in the morning, Mina. "
 

She smiled widely and nodded, saying her goodbye and letting Taemin lead her out of the cafe.
 
__________________________________________________________________________________________

Sometimes, Taemin gets caught up with friends that he has made. And it's completely understandable. Mina cannot expect him to always keep her company, it would be selfish to think that way. So when the two run into a group of guys in the morning on their way to hike ( or something that guys do, Mina wasn't listening) and ask Taemin to come along, Mina can't say no or for him to stay with her.
 
"Our Minnie hyung can hang out with us right, Mina?"
 
Jongin asks. Mina smiles and nods, they had met the other night at the bonfire, briefly and she was surprised at how much he resembled Taemin at the time, but now...she wasn't so sure. They might be able to pass as cousins. And maybe brothers... Regardless, she might of like Jongin more than she would any other individual she just met. And it had to be because of his smile, maybe not as infectious as Taemin's but it was still nice. That and Taemin seemed to really like him.
 
"See~ It's fine Tae, let's go!"
 
Another boy says, wrapping him arm around Taemin's shoulder and pulling him over to their side. ...She didn't remember his name. But he was around the same height as Taemin, maybe a little shorter and had dark hair. Taemin smiles apologetically towards Mina and lets go of her hand.
 
" I'll call later so we can meet up, okay~?"
 
He says to her as the boys pull him away. When he's at the end of the street, she can already hear him laughing with them and all Mina can do is wave some before looking around curiously. ...Now, what could she do do by herself?
 
Before she could make-up her mind, an ahjumma that was walking by her drop a bag of her groceries. Frowning at the site of the elderly lady bending down to pick them up, Mina hurried towards her to help.
 
"Aigoo... Young lady, you don't have to help little ol' me."
 
She spoke, taking a few heavy breaths between her words, she was sweating and looked a little pale. Ignoring her words, Mina continued helping. once she was finished, she stood up and held the bag close, taking the other from the ahjumma silently and smiling politely.
 
"You don't have to help~"
 
She tried protesting but Mina could only hold up her hand and smiling sweetly. It was fine. She could do this much, especially for someone that looked like they would pass out at any moment. Stretching out her arm, she signaled for the woman to lead the way to her home. The elder looked at her curiously for a few seconds before returning the smile and leading the way slowly. The walk to her place was long and the ahjumma did not stop talking once, even though she was having trouble breathing.
 
" I should have just let my grandson go out and buy the groceries but he looked so busy... he's a restaurant owner from Seoul, but he can't be there right now because of me. I hate it for him, especially since his parents passed away and his sister ignores his calls for some help."
 
She rambled as they finally reached the gate of her home. She led Mina inside, still rambling on about her grandson. who apparently had great hearing.
 
"Halmeoni? ...Is that you?"
 
A familiar voice called from another room. Within moments the even more familiar face appeared in front of her with a floral apron tied around his waist. He barely took notice of Mina's presence as he focused in on his grandmother, immediately helping with her slippers and helping her inside. Jaejoong wiped at her forehead with an handkerchief, pulling his grandmother into the air-conditioned house and leaving Mina to stand awkwardly with to bag of groceries.
 
"You know the doctor said not to stay outside too much during the day because of the heat."
 
"Well, We need to get groceries and you looked bus-"
 
"Groceries? ...Where are they? You didn't carry them to house did you? I was going to get them after lunch..."
 
"It's fine Jaejoong-ah~ A nice girl helped me. She's still in front of the door, invite her in for some tea, will you?"
 
After he got the old woman settled, he hurried back to the door, surprised at first when he saw Mozart at the strangers feet but less surprised when he saw that it was Mina.
 
"Would you like some tea, Mina?"
 
He asked, smiling as he took the bags from her. She nodded and followed behind JaeJoong into the kitchen, whispering softly about intruding.
 
"It's fine. I'm thankful you helped my grandmother, she isn't in the best condition."
 
He replied. He didn't get a response back. ' great, you're still hearing things Jaejoong' He thought, shaking his head once and setting the bags on the counter.
 
" Ah, you can go have a seat in the living your and i will bring the tea and fruit out shortly"
 
He gestured to the living room. Mina nodded and wandered into the living room quietly, Mozart trailing behind her. He watched her until he heard his grandmother begin to talk once more, then turned to put the kettle on the stove. '...Strange girl.' he found himself thinking as he began to put the groceries away quickly.
 
"Jaejoong-ah... Be sure to make enough for lunch."
