The smell of toast and omelet filled the quiet morning air of Minho, Onew and Key’s apartment room. Key, being the first to wake up, is cooking breakfast. The boys always leave the cooking to him as he is more than happy to do it. Minho finally woke up to the delicious aroma which made his stomach grumble. He was still in his pajamas and his hair was crazily messed up. He staggered to the dining table and sat down.
Key: YAH!! Go get ready first! You can’t be eating breakfast like that!
Minho: *still sleepy and whines. Anniyo, it’s too cold.
Key: Don’t make me go there and drag you to the shower.
With that, Minho bolted up from the chair and ran to the bathroom, afraid of Key’s threats. He almost knocked into Onew who was grinning madly. Onew sat down as Key put breakfast on the table.
Onew: Where’s the chicken?
Key: *gets angry. FOR THE MILLIONTH TIME, IT’S NOT HEALTHY TO HAVE CHICKEN FOR BREAKFAST. NOW SHUT UP AND EAT.
Onew: O.o Okay.
Key: And what’s with the mad grinning just now.
Onew: *smiles at the thought of his reason. Nahh, I was just thinking about yesterday. Wasn’t it cool?
Key: Yeah, Min Young-ah is really cool.
Onew: And we get to meet her again today! :D
Key: Ohh, so you’re excited to meet her today.
Onew: hell yeah! I have FIRST period with her!
Key: *laughs. You made the right choice. Remember Hee Hyun? She won’t stop stalking Minho now.
Minho: *interrupts. Do no mention her name, EVER.
Onew: Relax Minho. We won’t and I still regret until today, kay?
Key: Yeah, now eat up so we can catch the bus.
They ate without another word. Later, as they were reaching the school, they saw HER and Minho ran for cover. Figured out whom? Yes, it was Hee Hyun. It was her routine to wait for 10 minutes outside the college gates at 7.30am. It was Minho’s routine to run into the bushes and wait 10 minutes. On Key’s moody days, he’ll go tell her off so that Minho can come out of the bushes. Sometimes she’ll listen, mostly she doesn’t. And Key was feeling moody today.
Key: Hey BITCH.
Hee Hyun: *annoyed Go away Key.
Key: Hell no. You go away. And forget about a slight chance that Minho would want some whore like you. Tch. He never will! You’re a freaking stalker and he wants to be left alone!
Hee Hyun: Look, I don’t get you guys. You were so nice to me on my first day and now you’re like this?
Onew: After what you did to Minho? We have the right to be like this! Now leave him alone.
Hee Hyun: I didn’t do anything to Minho!
Key: Kiss my ass you didn’t do anything. We know well what you did, you slut.
Hee Hyun: At least I’m not gay, Key, unlike you.
Key: Oh, that’s it. I don’t care if I get expelled! *raises his fist
Min Young: *suddenly grabs Key’s arm NO! Don’t.
The atmosphere changed when they realized Min Young’s presence. She and Taemin saw them arguing from afar and Jonghyun caught up with them and didn’t like the chaos there. He even pointed out to them where Minho was hiding. Min Young wanted to cry when she saw how helpless he was in the bushes.
Hee Hyun: You guys got a new assistant I see. *approached Min Young
Onew: *stood infront of Min Young. Hee Hyun, I think you better get to class.
Hee Hyun: I don’t get it! What’s the difference between her and me?! *leaves crying
Minho got out of the bushes with Jonghyun and Taemin’s help and thanked Key. Key hugged Min Young. At that moment, they knew they were thinking of the same thing; the boys knew that they won’t be able to stop if Min Young wasn’t there. They didn’t want this fight to be hers too. They wanted to keep Hee Hyun as far away from themselves, especially Min Young. She was too young to even know what happened. The whole day, they tried to avoid the question every time Min Young asked who Hee Hyun was. They have to keep it a secret from her.
