I AM BACK! Yes that is right, three days in a row I update! . OK read and enjoy!

I turned back to Yoochun. "I really don't think it is a good idea to get me to sing...trust me when I say I REALLY cannot sing!" Then I heard the music start. "If you can get her to orget we are here she will sing!" I heard from behind me. I turned around and glared, then stopped when I heard Yoochun singing. He was singing the other parts, his and Xiah and Yunho's! I looked at the group in front of me and closed my eyes. I heard Haemin whisper something, and the music start again. And MinHye was right, in closing my eyes and forgetting they were there, I was free to sing!

"Once I say I love you I think you would be gone, oh baby...cause we are too young to love so I can say let alone...hold you in my arms..." I started daydreaming about a certain someone singing this the me and ended up getting lost in it and singing the whole song with Yoochun only singing the chorus with me. I couldn't help it I loved the song and singing felt so good! After the music stopped my daydream and my euphoria were drowned out in applause. I opened my eyes and realized what I had done. I saw everyone with a look of awe on their face and they were just clapping. No shouts of "You suck!" or "Stop singing!" or anything. I looked to Jaejoong and saw he had the same look as everyone else. When he saw me looking, he smiled slightly. That smile faltered, however, at the same time I felt Yoochun put his hand on my shoulder. Breaking eye contact with Jaejoong I turned to see Yoochun smiling wildly at me and shaking his head.

"You lied, pretty girl. You told me you couldn't sing!" He laughed. "Have you heard yourself?" I nodded. "Well then not recently because that sure didn't sound as horrible as you said it would." Everyone murmured sounds of agreement, and I felt my face flush again. I whispered a thank you and sat down next Jaejoong. Haemin shot up and dragged Junsu and Yoochun (who had been heading over to me, most likey to sit on the other side where there was a space) up to the stage, sending me a wink over her shoulder and mouthing "Good luck!" at me. 'What the hell does that mean?' Then I realized I was sitting next to Jaejoong and recalled the conversation from earlier. 'Dammit she thinks I am gonna try and do something to get him to like me again? HA no matter what I do that isn't going to happen, why bother?' I peeked out of the corner of my eye to see his face turned slightly toward me. 'Is he doing the same thing I am doing?!' I took a breath and turned to face him, shocked when he seemed to do the same. Both of us shocked into temporary silence, we just stared at each other. Then I heard the song change and broke eye contact again for the second time that night to see that nothing had changed but the song. Haemin was still rocking it out with Yoochun and Junsu. I turned back to Jaejoong.

"Listen, Jaejoong. Mianhe...about earlier..."I pointed to my face again and blushed. "and kahmsah hamnida too." I smiled. I braved a look into his face to see a soft smile that reached his eyes. His hand reached over and brushed away some hair that had gotten into my eyes. I just stared stupidly at him, being unable to say anything coherent.

"Mianhe hajime, Soo-Jung-ah. Mianhe...to yoo...I am sowwy. I..did not..." He inhaled sharply in frusteration. "Yoo...cry. I did not..." He stopped again, anger clearly marking his handsome features. I touched his hand, which had stopped and rested on my cheek. 'His hand is so warm...'

"Jaejoong..." He looked up at me. "Jaejoong-ah..." I said more softly. I heard him intake breath again, this time in surprise at my informal use of his name. I looked at him again. "Please...don't be sorry...uh...mianhe hajime. It isn't your fault really. Do..." I took a breath and plunged on. "Do you hate me? Cause I don't want you to hate me...I...think...I might like..." I was interrupted by a giggling noise and looked over at MinHye, who had her arms wrapped around Yunho and was making out with him. Stunned, I just sat there dumbly until reason kicked in and I realized that they might be drunk and embarrassed by this in the morning, and turned back to Jaejoong. He was smiling at the pair and I pointed to them and nodded. He nodded back and I stood up and got one of MinHye's arms and tugged. When she just slapped me away and returned to kissing Yunho, I employed Jen and Haemin (who wanted to take pictures first before helping) and Yoochun and Junsu in splitting up the amorous pair. MinHye was much stronger than her small frame suggested.

After that the night kind of died down. The mood with Jaejoong had died down too, but I kept catching him looking at me with a strange look on his face, like he was trying to figure something out about me or wasn't sure of something. By the time we left, it was in the morning and the youngest of our group was dead asleep, having snuck some drinks in herself. Being unable to wake her and unable to carry her with my drunken arms, Changmin helped instead. We decided to take her to the apartment for the night because she wasn't going to be telling where she was staying anytime soon. When we arrived, I was woken up by a gentle hand on my face, and looked with bleary eyes onto the form of Jaejoong. I sat up and looked around to see everyone else had gone upstairs but me and him. In trying to stand up, I fell instead onto the hard pavement and cut my hands and knees. I felt him tug on my arm and pulled away.

"Mi-mianhe...I can...I can do it..."As soon as I finished that sentence I fell back down. All of a sudden I felt myself flying up and waved my arms about before settling about his shoulders in an awkward sort of hug, for he had picked me up and was carrying me into the building. I murmured incoherently and nuzzled my face into his neck. 'Mhmm he smells good alright...so warm...OH I feel so tired...zzzzzz'

Jaejoong's POV

She murmured something into my shoulder and then placed her head onto my neck. I stiffened slightly then relaxed, enjoying the feel of her in my arms and her smell permeating around me. While in the elevator I looked down onto her face, thinking about earlier. 'What was she saying? AISH I need to learn English fast...did she...say she liked me? No no that wasn't it. She probably wanted to get my help with Yoochun.' In thinking his name, I tensed again. All night he had been with her except for the brief time early in the evening. He had gotten drunk though and had been unable to escort Soo-Jung to the apartment, although he tried anyway. Instead Changmin sent him up with himself and Jen, who it seemed he had taken an immediate liking to. Xiah and Yunho went with their respective dates next, forgetting Soo-Jung and me in the process. Thus leaving time for me to be alone with her. Unable to stop myself, I leaned down and kissed her forehead. 'What did I just do? You are so lucky no one saw, Jaejoong. And knowing that Yoochun likes her...' I looked up at the DING when the elevator arrived at the right floor, and walked to the door. Then I realized to get to the keys I would need to put Soo-Jung down, and looked back down at her. She seemed so comfortable.

"Soo-Jung-ah..." I said softly. "I know you don't understand me but I need to put you down." She murmured something in response, and I took that as an affirmative to set her down. She was shaky, and grabbed at me, placing her arms around my waist and her head on my chest. "Jae...joongie-ah..." I looked down at her, surprised like earlier when she called me Jaejoong-ah.

"Nae?" I asked quietly, not wanting to really wake her but wanting to know what she wanted.

"Jae...joongie-ah..." She said again. "Under...my skin...saranghae..." In hearing that I almost dropped the keys I had held up to the door. 'Did she just...no...she couldn't have...just get her into bed Jaejoong. Just let her rest.'

I opened the door and picked her back up again, relishing her arms around me again. When I saw that Yoochun had taken her couch (I had taken to calling it her couch) I sighed and brought her into the bedroom and stood there for a second staring. MinHye and Yunho...Haemin and Junsu...even Jen and Changmin...they had all fallen asleep together on the beds, leaving only two choices for me. Give Soo-Jung the bed and stay up, or sleep on the bed with her. 'Be the gentlemen, and remember your friend likes her. Just set her on the bed and get a chair out in the living room or something. Better not to sleep on the floor, I might get stepped on...' My thoughts trailed off when her hand grabbed my neck suddenly. Looking at her, it seemed she was in the throes of a nightmare, probably from the achohol. I set her down on the bed and tried to stand back up, only to have her lock her arms around me. Rather than fall on her, I steadied myself and tried again. When she wouldn't let go and called my name, I was helpless to resist. As I lay down next to her and put the blanket over her, she started to cry. 'Is the nightmare that bad?' To help her I woke her up. She sat up halfway upon waking and looked back at me. Seeming to know who I was, she smiled, laying back down. She began curling up to me, and as I let her I placed my arms around her. 'Just a small nap then. Before Yoochun wakes up, I can take this time to be with her. I can pretend that it is me she likes.' I heard her say my name again then settle down into a deep sleep. Kissing her forehead again, I held her tighter and started to drift off with the plan to wake back up in a few minutes or even an hour to remove myself from the situation which was bound to occur should we be found together like this. I felt her hand move up to my face and opened my eyes to see her looking back at me with clear eyes. 'Is she really drunk?' Then I heard her say something in English and next thing I knew she had moved toward me and was kissing me. "So this is what kissing her is like. How nice...' After a few moments I felt her go slack and opened my eyes again, not realizing I had closed them in the first place. She had fallen back to sleep, and I decided to do the same.

Coming back out of a dream I was having in which Soo-Jung and I were happy together and Yoochun had found someone else, I saw light and figured out that it was sunlight at much the same time as I heard movement in the room.

Alright folks...what do you think? Read and review and comment! .
