OKAY GUYS, BEFORE YOU READ THIS CHAPTER, PLEASE WATCH THIS: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2F1suLL-P1g IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT. ALSO, EVERY CONVERSATION BETWEEN MARIE AND HER PARENTS ARE IN ENGLISH, SO IS EVERY CONVERSATION BETWEEN MARIE AND DANIEL. YOU KNOW, LIKE WHEN THEY ARE ALONE. EVERYTHING ELSE IS IN KOREAN. OR YOU'LL HAVE TO IMAGINE SO. ~The next day I lied to my parents about going to the library to study, when in fact, I went to meet the boys. Their dormitory was actually pretty close to where I was living, so I walked there. I knocked on their door, and soon as it was opened, I was pulled into a warm hug.“Marie-shhi!” Jeesu exclaimed happily. He pulled me inside and closed the door behind us.“Hey guys” I smiled as the others greeted me.“We almost thought that you didn’t like us” Jeesu smiled as he helped me out of thick cardigan and took my purse.“Aaah no no… I love you guys but my phone broke and I…”“Oh yeah, Daniel told us about it” Simon said as he gave me a hug. I looked at Daniel, and he gave me a reassuring smile. I smiled back at him.“Did you get it fixed?” he asked, also hugging me.“Ah, yes. It’s fine now.”“Good.”“Where’s Inati-oppa and DongLim-oppa?” I asked looking around. Soon Inati stepped out of his, or someone else’s, bedroom.“Marie-shhi!” he said as he ran to hug me.“Oppa” I answered smiling.“DONGLIM!” Daniel yelled.“He’s been waiting for you” Daniel wiggled his eyebrows. I giggled at his goofiness. DongLim appeared from his bedroom.“Hi Marie-shhi” he practically whispered and gave me a shy hug.“Hello, oppa! How are you?∼”“Fine thanks” he murmured. He was so adorable with his shyness!“Sit down, Marie-shhi. Let’s watch some music videos” Simon called from the sofa, padding the place next to him. I sat down next to him and the others took a seat as well.“So, did you do your homework?” Jeesu asked me. I nodded and grinned.“I did, indeed. I googled first Dalmatian, then DMTN. Turns out you guys are actually pretty good” I smiled.“Did you think that we are bad?” Inati cocked his eyebrow. I shrugged.“No, I just… I never imagined I’d like that kind of music but you were good. And I’m not just saying because I think you guys are totally adorable. I really mean it.”“AAWWW” the boys said in unison. I hit Simon’s knee lightly.“Come on, what did you want to show me?”We watched all of their music videos, and some other ones, too. When Jeesu went to the kitchen to get some drinks, I remembered a certain video I had seen.“Coke or water, Marie-shhi?” Jeesu yelled from the kitchen.“Surprise me, Jisoon” I yelled back and started to giggle. The guys looked at me like ‘what the hell.’“Get me a Coke” Daniel yelled.“What?” Jeesu yelled back.“Michelle Lin wants a Coke” I yelled at Jeesu and started to laugh even more. Daniel blushed.“What are you talking about?” Simon asked me. I stopped laughing for a moment.“You haven’t seen it?” he shook his head. I took the laptop from Inati and opened YouTube. I typed in some words, clicked a few times and soon a video appeared on the TV screen.“Prepare for the laughs of your life” I told Simon as I pressed ‘play’. Inati and DongLim smiled as they realized what video it was. Daniel moved over to me to stop the video, but I gave Simon the laptop and sat on Daniel’s lap.“Don’t even think about it” I scolded him. He buried his face onto my back. Jeesu entered the room.“Guys, what’s thi…NOOOOOO!” he yelled. He placed the drinks onto the table and covered his face with his hands.“Is this really necessary?” he asked in despair.“Yup. Simon-oppa has never seen it and I absolutely love this” I grinned. Jeesu growled.“Here we go” I gently slapped Simon’s arm. When he saw Daniel, Jeesu and some third guy I didn’t really recognize, dressed as women, he started to laugh uncontrollably. And so did I. Soon Inati and DongLim joined us. Daniel rubbed his face onto my back and Jeesu sunk deeper into his chair. When the video was over, Daniel and Jeesu stayed still. The rest of us were crying from too much laughter.“I’m not sure whether that was the greatest thing ever or the most distracting thing ever” I gasped for air and wiped my eyes.Later, when I left their apartment, Daniel wanted to walk me home.“Thanks” I said quietly after a long silence.“What for?”“For not telling anyone.” He stopped and gave me a small smile.“I promised I wouldn’t.”“I know.” There was an awkward silence again.“Hey, about those two guys who were in some of your videos…”“Oh, you must mean DayDay and Dari” Daniel smiled.“They are our band mates. Or actually, DayDay left the group some time ago due to personal issues and Dari is in the army. He’ll come back.”“That’s exactly what I wanted to know” I smiled back at him.I made Daniel turn around about a block before my house.“Thanks Daniel. By the way, how come none of the boys commented on my face?” I asked, pointing to the swollen and disgusting area on my face.“I told them that you fell, and that you are really insecure about that, so they just ignored it.”“Danny, you are an angel” I gave him a hug.“I know!” he praised himself happily. I laughed at him.“Alright, buddy, you should go. I should too. Thanks again and bye bye!” I chirped at Daniel and started making my way home.“Bye, sweetie! See you!” I waved my hand at him.
