Chapter 6

The minute you walk into the apartment, everyone rushes towards you and starts yammering away.

"How did it go?"

"Is he cute?"

"Do you like him? Are you going to see him again?"

"I think we should meet him…. Invite him over for dinner!"

"…"

Taemin was probably the only one who didn't ask you anything, he didn't even say a word. He just stood at the back of the group, looking uncomfortable.

"Yes, he is very nice!" and adorable, but it would much too awkward to verbalize that thought - especially with the way Taemin was looking at you.

"Invite him over for dinner tomorrow!" repeated Key.

Jonghyun nodded, "Yes, we should meet him."

You giggled, it made you feel nice and loved, knowing that these five men wanted to protect you.

"Calm down oppas! I would invite him over for dinner…but…"

"But what? Are you ashamed of us?" Minho teased.

You laugh at him, "Yes oppa. I'm very ashamed of living with you, especially since you leave your dirty laundry shoved under your bed!"

Minho chuckled lightly, but you could see that his face was turning pink. The other members laughed and slapped him on the back.

"No, I'm just not sure how he would react if I told him that I live with five guys… Especially five FAMOUS guys."

Onew tilted his head, he always did that when he was confused; it reminded you of Chin Ho…

Taemin broke the silence by finally saying something."So, he doesn't know that you live with us?" he questioned, he looked almost mad at you.

Your heart sank, and you felt like crying.

Why was Taemin mad at you? What did you do wrong? Its not like he loves you anyways…

But it didn't matter! You decided the best thing to do would be ignore Taemin, it might help you get over the fact that you love him - even though he doesn't return your feelings."No, it's not something you tell a guy the second you meet him. 'Oh yeah, by the way, I happen to live with five guys.' Coz you know, that wouldn't be weird," you snap at drew back at your harsh tone, Taemin looked incredibly surprised.

Jonghyun reached over to you and put his hand on your shoulder, "dongsaeng? Is something wrong..?"

You shake him off, "no, now if you'll excuse me, I have to go to the washroom."

You stalk off down the hallway, leaving your oppas behind you; completely shocked. ~~~~~~~~~~~You snuggle down into bed, you feel horrible at snapping at them like love them all, fighting with them was like putting a toothpick under your toenail, and then kicking a soccer ball. It hurt. A were almost asleep when someone opened the closet door.

"Sorry dongsaeng," he mutters, "I just have to put my shirt away."

He quickly clambers over you to reach the hangers.

He still seemed mad, that smile that was usually attached to his face was gone.

"O-oppa.." you stutter. You could stay mad at poor Taemin forever, or you could explain to him why you snapped at him earlier.

He turned to look at you, something flashed in his eyes, but it was to quick for you to catch.

He left without saying a word, the door clicked shut and you were left sitting in the darkness.

You felt like screaming, but that would draw too much you simply sat in the darkness, sobbing silently to yourself. You hadn't felt this horrible ever since He…. He…

Well, lets face it, sooner or later you would have to tell your oppas about your past. You feared that they might kick you out, or worse, let you stay with them - but they would never look at you the same way again.

It was all your fault, everything. It wasn't His fault, it was yours. Everything was your fault; Taemin being mad you, what He did to you, mixing Key's white shirt in the wash with Taemins red pants, everything.

You cry for a few more minutes before realizing it's useless, what's crying going to do for you? Nothing, except bring you more was time to 'man' up. Perhaps putting a protective shell around you would stop some of the hurt and pain from getting in.

You pondered this thought as you laid back down to go to sleep. Yes, that would work. You couldn't let yourself be so open to other people, don't trust anyone… except maybe Chin Ho…

Sighing, you drifted off to sleep, dreaming about the dates to come with Chin Ho, he truly was perfect…

Maybe he would be the one who you could tell all your secrets too, trust him with everything, and maybe, you would even trust him with your future…
