Soso sorry for the long wait guys!! Have been so busy with schoolwork and projects>.< Anyway, here is the next chapter! Enjoy(: I will try to update the next chapter once i have time again! Thank you all my subscribers for waiting!-Eunmi's POV-Day 5 The days passed quickly and it was already Friday. Ever since Taemin asked me out for dinner on Tuesday, we haven’t met each other since. He still send Goodnight messages to me though. But Yuri and Taeyeon have never stopped teasing me about me and Taemin every single day >.<“Mimi ah, wanna go over to Maeda High? We are going to meet the guys for dinner!” Yuri asked. Ever since Yuri and Taeyeon heard Key oppa calling me Mimi, they have been using that term as well. Oh well, got used to it already anyway.“Whichever, I can go find Key oppa as well” I said.“As well as your Taemin oppa” Taeyeon winked.Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-Maeda High-“AHHHHHH! THE GUYS ARE OUT! TAEMIN OPPA! KEY OPPA!” When the three of us walked over, we were immediately blown off by all the girls screams.“Geez, this certainly happens everyday huh? Hey lets go over to our usual meeting place first then” Taeyeon said.“Yeah I totally agree” I nodded my head immediately. These everyday routine of the girls kind of make me headache. Poor guys who have to go through this everyday.“Eh? Mimi ah, shouldn’t you be saving your Taemin??” Yuri asked cheekily.“Well, I don’t see you saving your Minho oppa either” I chuckled as I look at Minho getting swarmed by lots of girls.“Onew oppa will save everyone, so lets just get out of this ridiculously noisy place!!” Taeyeon hooked mine and Yuri’s arm and dragged us out of there and to the place they usually would meet up.-10mins later-“Aigooo whats wrong with the girls, gosh! I could barely breathe!” When Taeyeon, Yuri and I were chatting while waiting for the rest, Jonghyun’s oppa voice suddenly appeared behind us.“Where are the rest??” Yuri asked.“Behind me…. Oh wait, where are they?? I’m pretty sure we were all running here together” Jonghyun oppa looked behind him and scratched his head when he saw no one else.“Are you retarded??” Taeyeon asked.“What?! I really didn’t know!!” Jonghyun crossed his arms and said.“He definitely is! Yah Jonghyun ah, you totally forgotten about Taemin! He was still left in that swarm of girls and Minho and Key gotta help pull him out and ended getting stuck as well.” Onew suddenly appeared and said.“I’m pretty sure I pulled out both Key and Taemin out together…Oh wait! I think I might have let go of Taemin’s hand while trying to pull Key out, hmmm..” Jonghyun seemed to be in deep thoughts.“I’m damn sure you are retarded!!” Taeyeon said laughing.“I know right!! He doesn’t even know what he was doing!” Yuri started laughing too.“And I am so NOT relying on Jonghyun hyung ever again!!!” Taemin’s voice suddenly appeared too.I finally saw Taemin again.“Aigooo Taeminnie, you wouldn’t be pissed at your darling hyung would you??” Jonghyun showed him his puppy eyes.“Tch” Taemin rolled his eyes and ignored him. And at the same time, our eyes met.My face started heating up and my cheeks immediately flushed red as I broke off our eye contact.  What’s happening to me?“Ahh mimi ah, your cheeks are bright red!!” Taeyeon exclaimed.“What?! No it isn’t!!” I shook my head and deny.“Yes it is~!” Yuri chimed in.“You two…..” I am really speechless.“Are you two bullying my dear little sister?” Key suddenly appeared behind me.“Of course not! Why would we!!” Taeyeon and Yuri chuckled.I ignored them and told Key oppa to go home already.“Oh sorry Eunmi, you got to go home yourself today, I will be with Jonghyun and the rest for dinner then to the music studio! You can come along though!”“Eh? Why didn’t you say earlier! Nooo I want to go home early today, im exhausted! Now who is gonna eat with me!” I pouted.Taeyeon, Yuri, Key and the rest immediately look at me, then in unison, smiled and turned to Taemin.“Why are you guys looking at me?? I’m going to the studio with all of you!” Taemin said.“Erm, no you are not. You’re accompanying EunMi! Besides, Key is with us so its okay” Jonghyun gave a smile and lightly push Taemin closer to me.“But…” Taemin tried to protest when I cut him off.“Its okay! I will cook at home” Whatever it is, I can’t get any closer to Taemin! This is getting weird!“Alright then Eunmi ah, be safe okay! Text me when you reached home” Key patted my head and said.I nodded as I waved bye to everyone.“See you guys next week!!” I said as I turned to walk off. And in less than 10 steps, someone tapped me from the back. I turned. Taemin.“……Let me just go with you for dinner” Taemin kept silent for a few seconds before opening his mouth and said.“……….” I was pretty speechless myself. Eunmi ah, get a hang of yourself. Taemin is making you weird and all, but, no harm eating dinner with him right??“Alright then! Lets go my house! I will cook up something to eat!” I said.“Your house?!” Taemin asked.“Any problem??”“Um, no.” He said as we walked to the busstop.Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-Eunmi’s house-“Come on in!” I said as I open my house door.“Wow, your house is….nice.” Taemin said as he looked around and then sat down on the sofa.“Thanks. Any drinks?” I asked as I walk into the kitchen.“No thanks! Yah, you sure you’re cooking??” Taemin asked suspiciously.“Duh!! I can cook!!”“Cook instant noodle or pig’s food???”“YAH TAEMIN YOU PABO!” I threw my bag at him.“What?! It was just a comment….” Taemin shrugged. “Can I help??” He suddenly asked.“You? Cooking??” I chuckled.“Don’t doubt my capabilities!!”“You doubted mine!!!” I argued back. I took out some ingredients from the fridge. Hmmm we can make spaghetti… I thought as I heard Taemin’s voice again.“Cause you’re an idiot!” He exclaimed.“Stop calling me an idiot Lee Taemin!!”“YAH where are your manners!!”“In my mouth!”“You…” Taemin wanted to say something when I cut him off.“Help me cut and dice the onions!” I threw the bag of onions at him.“Yeahyeah…” and we were finally silent, until…“LEE TAEMIN! How the hell is this cutting up onions!!” The way Taemin cuts the onions look more like he is chopping up his own fingers!“I kept tearing and cant see a thing!!” Taemin whined.“…. Forget it, just go cook the spaghetti up would you?”-Few mins later-“LEE TAEMIN! DO YOU KNOW HOW TO LIGHT A FIRE?!!” He is unbelievable!“Of course I do! Your stove is just different from my stove!”“Every stove is the same you pabo! Just turn up the fire here!” I said as I made a silent agreement with myself. Taemin can never step into the kitchen!“Why don’t you just go to the living room and watch some tv instead? I will handle here!” I chased him off the kitchen.“Fine.” Taemin shrugged and went out.-Half an hour later-I laid out two plates of spaghetti on the dining table.“Yah its time for dinner!” I called to Taemin.“Wow that’s pretty fast.” Taemin said as he walked over.“Of course”“But you are sure this can be eaten? I wouldn’t run to the toilet after that?” He asked.“Don’t eat it then!!” I wanted to take away the second plate when Taemin grabbed my hand.“I was just kidding..” He gave a half-smile.My face started heating up again when I realised he was grabbing my hand. I pulled away.“Just eat.” I sat down.We ate in silence for a few minutes when Taemin finally spoke up.“Eunmi ah, do you hate me?”“Why would I be??” I asked.“Well, you kept avoiding eye contact with me, ignore me, being so cold and for the past few nights you didn’t reply to my goodnight text either!” Taemin pouted.I smiled a little. How can this guy be so cute and overly sensitive, but annoying at the same time. But.. the avoiding part, how can I tell him what I always feel when I see him?! “I didn’t avoid you! You must be thinking too much. And for the text messages, how am I supposed to reply to a good night?!” I just reply vaguely.“You could’ve replied ‘Good Night’ too!”“That’s retarded!”“No it isn’t!!”“Yes it is!”Well, this went on till we finished our food. After cleaning up, Taemin left.“Its getting late. Thanks for the meal though! I didn’t run to the toilet after all” Taemin gave a slight chuckle.“Told ya! Thanks for, well, accompanying me too. Bye!”“See you then. Oh!Tomorrow, is it still on?” Taemin asked.I thought for a second. Oh yes! Taemin is supposed to bring me to the amusement park!“Of course!! I shall see you tomorrow then! Where will we meet?” I asked.Taemin smiled. “I will meet you outside your house at 9am. Is it okay?”“Sure! Okay see you tomorrow Taemin….oppa” I said.Taemin seemed to be a little stunned before he finally said, “Yeah..bye!” and he turned around and left.I closed the door as my cheeks flushed red for the god-knows-how-many times.
