Key was more than happy to pretend like nothing had even happened after that night when it came to Yunnie. He even did what he could to be alone with him as little as possible as though it would prove some point no one was asking him to make. Sure, he still wanted to be with the boy as much as possible; but, he dragged Lucy with him whenever possible, which was never all that hard. Any actual interest he showed in her was more than enough to rope the poor girl in, which only seemed to annoy Yunnie more and more.

"So, I wrote my mum last week and she finally wrote back." Lucy said happily while she swung her feet back and forth, playing with her hair while Key attempted to copy Yunnie's Charms essay while he was sleeping. They were all in the Student Commons and yet somehow Yunnie was still able to pass out with all the noise. He'd once said Lucy's voice lulled him to sleep.

Lucy had punched him.

"Mmm," Key said automatically, a normal response to her never ending chattering.

"'Mmm'? That's all you can say?" She asked, frowning. "Are you even listening to me?"

"Of course." Key said.

"What did I say?" Shot back at him.

"Something boring." He replied simply. "Hey, Yun writes too much. What is the laughing charm again?"

"Key!" She whined, hitting her hand on the table, nearly knocking over his ink.

"Watch it!" He hissed. "And keep your voice down... you'll wake him up."

Key glanced over his shoulder at Yunnie as he lay sprawled on the couch, face buried in a small pillow.

Key'd waited until Yunnie had fallen asleep before going through his bag and taking out whatever homework he had finished so he could copy it. It was a normal occurring; though, Yunnie had threatened to start sleeping on top of his things if Key didn't stop.

"Whatever, he sleeps like the dead." Lucy said, poking Key in the shoulder to make him pay attention to her. "I'm more important right now. I'll let you copy my stuff and tell you all about laughing and giggling charms when I'm done with my news!"

"Ugh, fine, what?" Key said, sitting back so he was leaning against the couch Yunnie was sleeping on.

"Like I was saying," she started over again, smiling while braiding and un-braiding her hair, "my mum finally wrote me back!"

"Wow, really?" Key said sarcastically. "That is so amazing. I can't believe she actually picked up a pen and wrote you when she does it constantly already."

Lucy frowned as she pressed her foot against his chest.

"You," she said pointedly, "don't listen to anything I say, do you?"

"Mmm, I listen to some of it." He replied, looking down at her shoe with dislike, grabbing it and pushing it away before dusting off his sweater. "Though, in my defense you talk a lot."

"I asked you last week what you were doing this summer and you said nothing." Lucy said. "So I asked you if you would come spend time with me in Whales."

"Which I told you no way in bloody hell." Key replied, remembering the conversation. "I hate sheep."

"It's not all bloody sheep!" Lucy protested before continuing on. "However, if that was the issue I said I'd ask mum if we could come to London instead, again."

"Please tell me she said she was sorry to tell you that you were going off to Austria or something like that." Key replied hopefully.

"Oh shut up." Lucy said, rolling her eyes, thinking he was kidding.

Key, however, was not. He couldn't wait for the term to end so he could get as far away from her as possible. He'd had enough of her for a lifetime... well, at least for a few months.

"I want you to write your mum right now and let her know I'm coming the last two weeks of the summer. Go ahead so I can see." She demanded. Key looked at her like she had lost her mind. "What? We only have three weeks left until summer! My parents want to go to France this year, too. I had to beg to get two weeks in London again."

"Can't you go a whole summer without seeing me?" Key asked. Lucy glared at him. "Fine, crazy"

"I'm not crazy!" Lucy snapped, making him stop. He'd been speaking Korean. He looked at her in shocked surprise. "Oh yes, you watch yourself. I've been learning some Asian."

Key snorted, the fact that she still called it 'Asian' made him doubt she knew very much. However, he was pretty sure someone had taught her the basic curse words and he had a pretty good idea who it was.

Key glanced over his shoulder at Yunnie as he grumbled something in his sleep and turned his body some.

"Fine, look, a lovely letter to my mum that my psychotic girlfriend will be in town the last two weeks of summer." He said while he scratched out a short letter to his mum that was a little nicer before handing it to her to read. "If you are in such a hurry you can go owl it."

"Fabulous! I'll write mum and let her know, too! We'll get to spend so much time together! I can't wait. Do you think your parents would mind meeting my parents?" Lucy said as she got to her feet. Key shrugged his shoulders. "Oh this will be so much fun! I can't wait to see your house!"

"Who said I'd let you in my house?" Key replied sourly. Lucy giggled as she leaned in to whisper in his ear.

"So you can show me your room." She said softly before pulling away, blushing. She smiled before running toward the door while he snorted.

"Yeah, because I want her in my room." Key laughed to himself before he yelled in pain as Yunnie kneed him in the back of the head.

"Ow!" Key yelled, turning around and punching Yunnie in the thigh, knocking the smirk off his face and allowing him to finally stop pretending to be asleep. "What is your problem?"

"My leg!" Yunnie wailed as it throbbed, Key having given him a Charlie Horse. "Ow, ow, ow..." He rubbed it furiously with his hands to try and make the pain go away.

"You kneed me in the head!" Key spat, rubbing his head.

"I was asleep!" Yunnie shot back at him, sitting up some while leaning against the armrest. "Hey, is that my homework?"

Key looked at the table before trying to look innocent. "Oh, yeah... Lucy was comparing hers with yours."

"Uh huh..." Yunnie said suspiciously while he grabbed it and shoved it in his bag while Key knocked his own off the table and then under it. "And where is she, then?"

"Ran off like a lunatic, of course." Key said with a frown. He really was hoping to get away from her for the whole summer. However, it looked like that wasn't going to happen.

"Such a kind and loving boyfriend." Yunnie snorted while zipping up his bag before stretching out his legs and wincing as pain shot through the one Key had punched. Key smirked, happy he was still in pain since his head was throbbing.

"If it's the truth it isn't mean." Key shot back before dropping his hand from his head and leaning against the couch while closing his eyes.

"I think my parents might be going through the city this summer." Yunnie said after a short silence fell between them. Key opened one eye and looked at him questioningly. "We travel a lot..."

By travel a lot he meant constantly moved around in their mobile home. They always ended up in London at some point since they had to buy Yunnie's school things, but after hearing about what was going to happen with Lucy he told himself he felt bad for both of them and wanted to interfere even though he'd said he'd stay out of Key's love life.

After Christmas Yunnie had done everything he could not to meddle in Key's life, especially when it came to Lucy. It just ended up giving him a headache and pissing him off. Key wouldn't even let Yunnie get a full sentence in about the topic and Yunnie ended up getting upset just thinking about the topic himself. It was easier for both of them to just ignore it. However, with her constantly around, which he strongly suspected was Key's doing, it was getting harder and harder not to do anything.

And them alone over the summer? Nothing good could possibly come from that.

"Oh, I'm not sure I'll be in the city at all." Key lied, not wanting to be with Yunnie either. Yunnie blinked in surprise, not expecting Key to lie to him like that. "I mean, I will at some point... but I'm not sure for how long or when. We will probably be traveling a lot..."

"Ah, well then I guess I'll have to roam around by myself then. Maybe look someone else up." Yunnie said, recovering quickly and shrugging his shoulders even though it bothered him more than it should being lied to like that.

Key nodded his head as he slid his unfinished essay into his bag. He wanted nothing more than to spend his entire summer with Yunnie. However, after trying Dr. Delany's method of surrounding himself with the boy in order to make his feelings go away, and it failing, he figured he'd try totally cutting ties for a few months. It couldn't hurt, right?

Well, yeah, it could hurt a lot and make him completely and utterly miserable. However, what else was he supposed to do? He'd been paralyzed by Yunnie and even called out about his feelings before getting completely rejected. As much as he wished to continue to surround himself with Yunnie, it was getting to be too much and he could only push Lucy through so much before she yelled at him.

The next three weeks went by in a blur and before Key knew it, he was dotting a period on his last exam. He smiled widely as he rolled up the paper before pushing it away from him. Finally, he was done! He couldn't care less that more than three answers had to be completely wrong. At least he'd answered them, right? He should get some points for answering them even if part of it was 'I don't remember this but let me tell you what I think it should be...'

Creativity really should be encouraged as far as he was concerned.

"Yay, no more school!" Lucy said, jumping on Key's back, nearly making him fall over as he tried to walk out of the room. She'd been waiting impatiently for him to finish.

"Get off of me, woman!" He yelled, stumbling forward. However, she merely laughed and kissed him on the cheek as they swayed. A few people stared at them before rolling their eyes, muttering. However, No one would ever actually say anything to them lest they get their heads ripped from their bodies.

"I'm so excited!" She squealed. "We have three whole days left of nothing but relaxing!"

Key responded by shaking back and forth, trying to throw her from his back. She screamed while clinging tighter to him before sliding off when he stopped.

"Come on," she said, not letting this attempt to nearly kill her by throwing her across the hall dampen her mood, "I want to go outside. It is beautiful out!"

"Ugh, I'm hungry..." Key moaned while she tugged him down the corridor. "I want to go eat. Luce this is such a pain. I hate you!"

However, she merely ignored him by talking over his complaints.

"We can spend all day outside instead of down in the bloody dungeons... and when I get home I'm going to spend the first week shopping because nothing I have fits anymore and it is all completely out of style. Do you want me to buy you anything? You are growing out of all your clothes, you know." She prattled on happily before glancing over her shoulder at him. Key snorted before scratching the back of his head happily. He was getting taller wasn't he? She giggled, knowing how to work around his moodiness.

However, her overzealousness quickly ruined whatever compliments she could throw at him and by the time they were getting on the train he couldn't get far enough away from her. He had no idea how he was supposed to spend two full weeks with her at the end of the summer before they came back for their fifth year. He thought he might just die. He'd been going over different ways to get around the encounter; but none of them seemed plausible since Lucy would merely throw a fit and his mum was already head-over-heels in love with her. Though, he wasn't all that surprised since they loved the same things: shopping, talking, fashion, talking, other annoying things, talking, Key, and talking. His only real hope was they'd attack each other with love and forget about him.

"I'm going to miss you so much!" Lucy wailed as they got off the train, tears welling up in her eyes as she hugged Key around the middle. His eyes bugged out of his face in shock and revulsion. She had to be kidding. She was not doing this in public. Students and their parents were openly staring at them. It was bad enough she'd clung to him the whole train ride back... and getting off the train... but now this? He was seriously debating shoving her off of him and over the side of the platform before making a run for it and hoping she never spoke to him again until school started.

"Lucy," he said, voice shaking with anger and embarrassment.

"What?" She sobbed.

"If you don't stop right now I'm going to kill you." He hissed. "You are ruining my shirt!"

Lucy looked up at him, eyes filled with tears. "You aren't going to miss me at all, are you?"

"Not in the slightest." He said, leaning down so their noses touched while he pried her arms off of him. "Now you have something real to cry about... but do it when you're somewhere private and aren't making a scene. We aren't in a bloody drama."

Lucy's lower lip jutted out as she stepped back, the last of her tears streaking down her cheeks. "You're so mean..." She said pathetically.

"Yup, I'm horrible. The absolute worst." He agreed as his mum appeared behind him, wrapping her arms around him, making him close his eyes and groan.

"KIBUM, my agi!" She said happily.

"For the love of God!" He yelled. What was with him and mental women?

"Oh I missed you so much!" His mum said, squeezing him before letting go and turning him around so she could kiss him.

"Mum, stop!" He whined, trying to get away. He was fifteen, not five. "What is wrong with you?"

She smiled before glancing at Lucy. She smiled even wider as she got a death grip on her son so he couldn't run off.

"Oh you must be Lucy Ridigan!" She exclaimed. "I'm Kibum's mother, Mrs. Park."

Lucy curtsied a little as she wiped away the last of her tears while smiling brightly. "It is an honor to finally meet you, ma'am." She said politely, making Key snort. "Thank you so much for allowing my family to inconvenience you for a few days this summer."

"What? What are you talking about?" Key asked suspiciously.

"Oh, I've been speaking with Lucy's mother and I told her it was silly for them to rent out a house for a few days in London when we have such a large one." His mum said lightly.

Key's face lost all color.

"They are staying with us?" He asked in shock.

"Yup!" Lucy said happily. Key turned his head and stared at her as if he were trying to make her head explode. She'd purposely not told him, knowing he'd say 'no' to the whole thing. "My parents decided two weeks wasn't possible so we are just going to be in town for five days instead."

Key stared at her, not saying a word. Five full days of non-stop Lucy with no way of getting away from her? And he couldn't flip out and destroy the house because his parents would probably actually have him locked up and never let him go back to Hogwarts from embarrassment and shock.

"Isn't that great, agi?" His mum asked him. "Aren't you surprised?"

"Oh I'm definitely something." He muttered.
