Okay, so I wrote about the kid. But hey, they all start somewhere...don't they? *secretive smile* I think I'll enjoy the next few drabbles very, very much. Hahaha. (This is a caution for you to watch out.) Here are the ages, for those who are confused (and you probably will be):

Jeremy — 19 yrs.
Mi Nyu/Mi Nam — 20 yrs.
Shin Woo — 21 yrs.
Tae Kyung — 22 yrs.

je t'aime
When I approach you
With your angelic face
Say the reason you live is for me
You make my heart burn out when you're not here

Hwang Mi Nyu pursed her lips and placed her hands on her hips, surveying the mess in front of her. Whoever said that men were slobs were right; due to the party that had taken place the night before (celebrating Jeremy's ascent to his nineteenth year of living) the whole place was in a mess. Beer bottles lay on the sofas (Mi Nyu's frown increased at this: Jeremy wasn't allowed to drink) and forgotten confetti, coloured paper, and party favours were left ruined everywhere.

Thank goodness she was at Coordinator Wang's place, having had to stay over because of a particularly long and tough session with the other girls of her idol group, Mara Rome. She had been more tired than usual and at most everyone noticed. Now she came back to more work, because Mi Nyu knew for sure that none of the guys would clean this up unless something was in their favour. Especially since they would have hangovers this morning.

Mi Nyu picked up a piece of long, thin string, and then decided that it was some sort of paper that you put up on walls. For God's sake, she had not been for a week and this is how it became! She frowned and went into the kitchen, feeling only slightly uneasy. There was a staunching smell from the kitchen sink, and she would have to get cleaning men for that instead.

Grabbing a garbage bag, she quickly ran away with a pair of gloves and an apron. When she was outside of the kitchen, she sighed in relief — sweet air. But she still felt uneasy, so Mi Nyu opened a couple of windows and set to work on the mess.

She had gotten half of the room done when Jeremy and Shin Woo came in first, both rubbing their eyes. Jeremy looked worse in particular, his hair a blotchy strawberry red instead of it's usual blond (he was so ADD that he couldn't even keep one hair colour in place) and hanging over his eyes. Shin Woo was rubbing the side of his face, half awake. Both were dressed in crumpled clothes, which made Mi Nyu wonder if they just dropped in bed. She stood up straight, ignoring the jerk in her stomach and the cracks that could be heard, following the movement.

Before she could say anything, however, Jeremy's face lit up like a Christmas light. "Go Mi Nyu! Welcome back! How was your week in Taiwan?"

"Fine." Mi Nyu pointed to the mess, clearly troubled. "Jeremy, Shin Woo hyung, mind telling me what caused this?" Jeremy's face turned pink, and Shin Woo shuffled, embarrassed.

"We may have gotten drunk last night," he admitted.

"...we?"

"Us and the rest of ANJell!" Jeremy announced, causing them both to wince at his loud tone. Upon seeing Mi Nyu's expression, he hastily continued. "Except for Tae Kyung. In fact, he hasn't gotten drunk since...well, ever."

"He can hold his liquor in well," Shin Woo agreed. "He doesn't even like soju that much anyway..."

"Have you ever tried soju, Mi Nyu...n-noona?" Jeremy finished, stuttering at the end when Shin Woo elbowed him discreetly. Mi Nyu stared at him, surprised, with a touch of something more. Both males gave each other bewildered looks, but Mi Nyu jerked forward and put her hand on her stomach, her face paling. Without a word — (It was more a squeak of "Aish!") — she turned and ran.

Her retching sounds could be heard from down the hall.

"What happened?" Jeremy asked as soon as she sat down on the cleaned sofa, groaning. "Mi Nyu?"

Shin Woo was too worried to correct him this time. "Are you alright? Did you eat anything bad or..." he looked behind him, motioning to the kitchen. Mi Nyu closed her eyes and shook her head, still refusing to say a word. She was afraid she would have the urge to vomit again.

"Shin Woo hyung," Jeremy started uncertainly, "I think you should call Tae Kyung hyung."

"Call me for what?" Tae Kyung's groggy and sleep-laden voice, gruff and deep, met them all. He stared at them for a moment before his eyes fell on his wife, who was laying sick on the sofa. His eyes widened in alarm, suddenly alert. "What's wrong with her?"

"She just puked for five minutes straight in the bathroom," Shin Woo informed him. "Then she came here and dropped on the sofa. We don't know why — she won't tell us anything."

Tae Kyung pursed his lips, walking forward and kneeling down besides Mi Nyu so that he was on the same eye-level as her. "Oi, Pig-Rabbit. What's going on? Are you sick again?" Mi Nyu's eyes fluttered open, and Tae Kyung could see that they were foggy and clouded over; she probably didn't even recognize what he was saying.

But a moment later she answered, "I don't think so, oppa." Mi Nyu set herself upright and held on to her stomach tightly, a slightly grim expression on her face. She was determined too, but wouldn't meet Tae Kyung's eyes. "I think I know what the problem is."

"What?" Jeremy asked, concerned. "I'll go and the get the medicine for you right away!"

Mi Nyu paled again, and she shook her head rapidly. Standing up, she caused Tae Kyung to jerk back in surprise. "No, no! It's okay — I'll just...ah! — I have to go — " In a few moments, she had gotten her purse and jacket and was walking wobbly on her flats. The members of ANJell were so hungover and stunned that they made no move to stop her. It was only after she left that Tae Kyung found his voice.

"The Pig-Rabbit has sure gotten arrogant." (Of course, he was referring to her leaving without even kissing his cheek goodbye, which was what she had made a habit of six months earlier.)

And thus lead to a mysterious photo of Go Mi Nyu rushing into a pharmacy and quickly into it's bathroom in the same day, and then somehow disappearing from the store altogether. There were many controversies about this; no one had seen what was in the girl's hands, for she wasn't recognized until she had already paid and was halfway out the store. Mi Nyu had gone into a public bathroom and no one ever saw her come out.

They never thought of interrogating the girl in the reverse coat and large sunglasses that came out nearly thirty minutes afterward.

Thus leading to a hurried phone call from Mi Nyu to her husband: "Tae Kyung, I'm pregnant."
