"Aish…" He cursed for the nth time. He glanced and glared at the girl on his bed. Fortunately, she wasn't looking or else he would be beaten up by now, not that he's scared. He's just not in the mood to fight back.

He sighed and looked around his room. It was just around 8 in the evening. They just had dinner and he wasn't really that sleepy. He didn't know what to do now. It's kind of awkward when a girl is in her room and not to mention that the girl is her biggest toughest enemy ever.

He tried not to look at her. Jan Di was already blinded by the story of the book she was reading. She borrowed it earlier from Ga Eul since she's pretty much convinced that she's not going to have a good time with Jun Pyo.

Truth be told, she's really annoyed at Ji Hoo. How could he allow her to spend the time with another man at night in a single room? Isn't he affected at all?

Sighing, she tried to push all the thoughts away out from her mind. She just has to ask Ji Hoo about it tomorrow.

Jun Pyo watched as Jan Di shifted the pages of the books. He didn't know how long has he been doing that but he didn't find it boring at all. He was quite amused in fact. Jan Di smiled silly every now and then and he thought it was actually… cute. Or Jan Di's expression would change into hurt all of the sudden. It was amazing how a single person's mood would change immediately by just a book.

He didn't notice that he was looking at Jan Di for a very long time that he almost memorized her features. She had that pale skin and rosy cheeks. Her lips are pink and her hair was short but it suits her well.

As he was looking at her from head to toe, he finally snapped out of his thoughts when Jan Di looked up from her book. Apparently, Jan Di felt exhausted from reading and she willingly yawned without even considering that Jun Pyo was in the room with her.

Jun Pyo shook his head violently and shrugged away all the thoughts he had of Jan Di. He caught sight of the remote in front of him so he collapsed on the sofa and allowed himself to relax like nothing happened earlier. He turned on the TV and changed the channels endlessly while squinting his eye at Jan Di's direction every now and then.

When he noticed himself doing that, he tried to divert his attention to the TV. He put it in max volume. With an exasperated sigh, Jan Di glowered at Jun Pyo's direction and couldn't help but shout.

"Yah! Why did you that?" Jan Di yelled.

"Huh? Do what?" Jun Pyo looked at her, seemingly confused. Honestly, he didn't know what she was talking about.

"Why did you turn up the volume all of the sudden?"

"Because I want to! This is my room, you know!" Jun Pyo countered. He glared at her. Without thinking, he yelled at her again. "And that's my bed! You sleep here in the sofa!"

Jan Di was about to shot back at Jun Pyo but the dummy was right. It is his bedroom. She mumbled something incoherently but before she could even stand up, Jun Pyo was already in front of him. He dragged her out of his bed. He triumphantly lied down on his bed like he felt completely relaxed.

He smiled weirdly into nothingness while Jan Di stomped her way to Jun Pyo's sofa. "Spoiled brat." She whispered to herself.

She glared at him once before completely turning away. She glanced at the TV and with that, she smiled to herself. She has a plan. She turned off the TV all of the sudden.

Jun Pyo was about to shout but Jan Di didn't just turned off the TV, she also turned off the lights. Jun Pyo squeaked. Yes, the Shinhwa heir squeaked.

"Yah, turn the lights back on." He said softly, looking around him as if a ghost would soon appear any second.

Jan Di laughed like a maniac. "What? Scared?"

"Noooo. Yah! Just turn the lights back on."

Still with her manic laughter, she turned on the lights and grinned devilishly at Jun Pyo. She turned to the sofa as soon as her laughter died down. "I knew it. Coward." She mumbled.

She sat down on the sofa. With no pillows and sheets, she didn't know how she could sleep comfortably. She was about to ask Jun Pyo for a pillow but Jun Pyo threw her two large pillows. She didn't know if it was revenge or his way of showing concern but the last things she heard from him was.

"Sleep, cleaner." His soft voice called out gently.

:) :) :) :) :P

In the yellow room, it wasn't peaceful at all. Jae Kyung and Woo Bin were playing Twister while drinking some wine. It was really fun since the two of them can't even stay upright with all the wine they drank.

They laughed endlessly as they positioned themselves. Both of them couldn't think of any time they laughed like that from the past. Sure they laugh when they were with their friends but laughing hysterically like there's no tomorrow? Not really…

Completely exhausted, they both collapsed on the floor laughing yet again. "That was fun!" Jae Kyung squealed.

"Yeah, it is." Woo Bin couldn't agree more. It was indeed fun. He didn't expect spending time like this with Jae Kyung can be this thrilling.

"More wine?" Jae Kyung offered him. He smiled and kindly declined her offer.

She shrugged. She poured another glass for her and drank it in one gulp. She can feel kind of dizzy and it's seems like the room was spinning but she didn't want to end the night just yet. She pushed herself up and dragged Woo Bin with her. "What about singing? You want that?" She suggested.

"Uhm… I guess that's fine. What song?"

"What about songs from SNSD? Do you know them? They're really cute!" Jae Kyung clasped her hand and dreamily looked up at him.

"Uhuh… Yeah…?" Woo Bin tilted his head. He didn't have a clue who those SNSD are.

"Here, do this." Jae Kyung moved her hands and waved her butt while singing Run Devil Run. She smiled at him and Woo Bin couldn't help but grin back. "Oh, c'mon! Please, just do this. It's easy."

She did the steps one more time while holding Woo Bin's hand. She urged him to go on and copy her. Without further forcing him, he complied and began to shake and dance with her. A few more minutes, Woo Bin became accustomed to the dance that he didn't need to copy Jae Kyung while dancing.

He moved his hands and even winked every now and then. He sang the lyrics with Jae Kyung and they both laughed when Woo Bin got it all wrong. They did that for what seemed like forever but it didn't matter. Woo Bin and Jae Kyung just had fun, knowing that this time, they both found a new friend to share their likes and dislikes with.

At their nth time dancing Run Devil Run, Jae Kyung felt really dizzy that she felt her body failing her. She closed her eyes and expected the impact of the floor but there was none. Instead, she was greeted by a muscular body below her. Woo Bin held her head as if it was a delicate thing. He, too, had his eyes closed as he felt the pain from his back slowly spreading throughout his body. He felt the sore impact of the floor on his back but it didn't matter to him.

He quickly opened his eyes and spread his arms on the floor. "Yah, Jae Kyung, are you okay?"

As soon as she heard his voice, she opened her eyes. "Omo!" She sat up and turned to face Woo Bin. "Are you okay?" She asked in pure concern.

"I just asked you that question." Woo Bin raised his eyebrow but didn't look at her. He stared at the ceiling and began to close his eyes.

"You're the one who hit the floor." It was Jae Kyung's turn to raise her eyebrow.

"I'm fine. I think I'm just tired." This time, Woo Bin sat down. He grinned at Jae Kyung and out of the blue, he scooped Jae Kyung up and carried her to bed.

"Go to sleep, monkey." He smiled. "I had fun. Good night." That's a line the Don Juan was used to but this time; it wasn't for the same reason.

Jae Kyung, still shocked from Woo Bin's gesture, stared blankly at him. She blinked her eyes slowly and gradually processed what just happened. Slowly, she closed her eyes and drifted to a deep slumber.

:) :) :) :) :P

"You really like music, no?" Eun Jae said gently as she watched Ji Hoo peacefully playing the guitar. There, they sat side by side on Ji Hoo's sofa quietly listening to the pleasant melody Ji Hoo was playing.

Ji Hoo nodded with a smile but didn't look up at her. He strummed the guitar as he sang. It was a piece he composed when he was young. It was one of his favorites and he couldn't bring himself to forget about it. The lyrics were about friends. Obviously, it was inspired by his childhood friends who never left his side no matter what happens.

Abruptly, he stopped playing and finally faced Eun Jae. "If given a chance, are you going to let him go?"

It didn't take Eun Jae a minute to realize what he means so she sighed and nodded her head. "I don't want to marry a man I don't love."

Ji Hoo shook his head in understanding. Of course, she would. Yi Jung wasn't her true love, why would she want to tie herself to him? Also, she knows Yi Jung doesn't love her.

"Seriously, what are you planning to do?" JI Hoo asked her again.

"I don't really know…" Eun Jae looked down, guilty that she's too weak not to fight for her feelings. "But… You did this house arrest for them, right?"

"Not only them. For the others too." Ji Hoo smiled at the thought of Woo Bin and Jae Kyung, Yi Jung and Ga Eul, Jun Pyo and Jan Di.

"What do you mean?" Eun Jae asked, confused.

"It's just that, they're too blind to see it."

"Is Jan Di included in your plan?"

Ji Hoo smiled sadly. He nodded his head. "Jun Pyo is Jan Di's first love." Eun Jae gasped but Ji Hoo ignored her and continued. "She likes him ever since she stepped in Shinhwa but Jun Pyo, you know him. That arrogant bastard is too blind to even see it. Jun Pyo doesn't know anything about love. Jan Di is not the type of person who would pursue someone she loves so really, they're two stupid guys in love."

"But… why? Aren't you happy that Jan Di chose you?" Eun Jae asked. She can't seem to understand the situation well.

"She doesn't love me the way she loves Jun Pyo." Ji Hoo answered simply. "I know she's going to be much happier with him and anyway, I can see that Jan Di still loves him. It's only a matter of time 'til she stops denying it."

"Why do they bicker everytime they see each other?" Eun Jae doesn't get it. Jan Di likes Jun Pyo?

"Something happened a year ago… It's a long story. It just ended up, Jan Di hating Jun Pyo and Jun Pyo, as stupid as he is, hates her too without a reason at all. Anyway, Jae Kyung got in the way. She seemed to really like Jun Pyo but you see, every time I see the two of them together, something is a bit off. She's not the girl in love, maybe infatuated but love? I think not."

Eun Jae nodded, finally understanding their situation. "But… you…" She hesitated for a second but continued anyway, "you love Jan Di right?"

"I do, that's why I'm doing this for her. I know she's still not over him… I can see it in her eyes. If she needs me, I'm always here for her. I just don't want her to keep all her feelings for Jun Pyo." Ji Hoo gave her an assuring smile, telling her that he's going to be okay…

He sighed and clasped his hand. "You take the bed Eun Jae, I'm staying here." He smiled and pushed her gently to the direction of the bed.

Eun Jae merely smiled. She stood up but before she completely jumped to bed, she turned to Ji Hoo and said, "thanks for telling me this."

:) :) :) :) :p

The night breeze passed by her skin. Though it was a cold night, she still forced herself to hang out at Yi Jung's veranda while looking at the stars. It was a lovely evening. The moon was glowing up the sky, telling her that even in the dark, you can see light. It's nice to think positively to calm her nerves.

Augh. She was in Yi Jung's room. So Yi Jung, the man who she loves. Who wouldn't be that anxious if you're alone with him right?

Sighing, she turned around. Maybe reading a book could also help her. She brought at book with her from her room just in case Yi Jung won't talk to her and surely, she won't initiate the conversation between them.

She opened the door to his room and she saw him molding his pot. She smiled at the sight but blushed when she remembered that Yi Jung might be aware that she was staring at him.

Ga Eul went over to the sofa where her book was located. She sat down and squinted over at Yi Jung's direction before finally opening the book in her hands.

She begins to read her book but she can't seem to concentrate when she hears the potter's wheel spinning. She didn't dare look up, afraid that she might be too caught up into staring at him. She sighed once again.

Yi Jung's ears caught her soft sigh on the background. He paused in doing his work and listened to Ga Eul's even breathing behind him. Eventually, he decided to stop doing his pot. If he wants to get Ga Eul, he should start talking to her now.

He abruptly stood up and Ga Eul immediately looked at him. She watched as he went to the bathroom to clean his hands.

When he was finished, Yi Jung stopped by the door and saw Ga Eul looking at him with a blank expression on her face. He smirked and started to speak up. "Yah! Ga Eul-yang. Am I that handsome that you kept staring at me?"

Ga Eul's lips parted but she didn't know what to counter him. She put up an annoyed face and pretended to read her book once again. This caused Yi Jung's grin to go wider.

"Ga Eul-yang…" He called out softly.

"Hmmm?" Ga Eul only said as response.

"We haven't' discussed the sleeping arrangements. Where would like to sleep?" Yi Jung asked, attempting to start a conversation.

"You can take the bed." Ga Eul said simply, breaking Yi Jung's attempt.

"Hmmm…" Yi Jung slowly took a few steps forward, stopping just a few feet away from her. "Let's play 10 questions Ga Eul-yang."

Ga Eul put down her book and blinked her eyes while looking at him. Is he seriously suggesting that? What the hell?

"Eh?" She dumbly said, hoping she hadn't heard right.

"Let's play 10 questions. We used to play that right?" Yi Jung grinned. He sat down beside her, not keeping his gaze away from her. "I'll start. Hmmm, how are you and Woo Bin doing?"

Obviously, Ga Eul was completely caught off guard by his question. She didn't think he would ask that. She quickly composed herself and gulped. "We broke up." She replied tentatively.

Her answer made Yi Jung's eyebrows rise. So Woo Bin was telling the truth…

"Why?" Yi Jung asked.

"Sunbae, it's my turn now." Ga Eul gave him a sheepish smile. "When is your wedding?" She didn't mean to ask that. It just came out from her mouth before she can stop herself.

"Eh?" Yi Jung thought about how to answer her. "Uhm… We don't know yet." He said carefully. "My turn, why?"

"Well, it just didn't work out. My turn, aren't you ready to get married yet?"

"To tell you the truth, nope. Well, how are you coping with your break up?"

"It's fine. Why aren't you ready to get married yet?"

"I don't know. I'm just not. Who broke up first?"

"Me." Ga Eul paused as she saw Yi Jung's reaction. It was shock and confusion so she quickly added. "It's a long story. Why did you propose to Eun Jae then?"

"I didn't…" Yi Jung saw Ga Eul's jaw drop. She was clearly confused and surprise at that. "It was arranged, Ga Eul-yang." Yi Jung told her sadly as he looked down on his feet.

"You what?"

"It was arranged by my grandfather. I can't do anything about it. It's how our lives are."

Clearly annoyed, Ga Eul stood up from the sofa. "Why? Why are you letting him run your life? You're accepting your fate like that? Why sunbae? Don't you want to marry for love?"

"Ga Eul-yang…" Yi Jung pulled her hands so that she would sit down beside him again. "My grandfather's sick, okay? It's the only thing Eun Jae and I can do for him so we agreed."

"But…" Ga Eul wanted to argue. It was just not right. "When you love sunbae, you would know that it would hurt if you're already married and then you can't pursue the one you love."

"I know." Yi Jung told her, his face full of seriousness. He looked into Ga Eul's beautiful brown orbs and held her gaze. He tried to express all his feelings through his eyes. "Because right now, I'm already hurting when I see her and I know I can't do anything but look at her and feel sad that she's not mine."
