A.N. Here's the next episode in the "Tae Kyung is seducing Shin Woo" saga. Sadly, it's the last episode of the season. Just kidding, we just won't be able to update for the next couple of weeks since It's summer and one of us is being attacked by a crazy dentist tomorrow. So read very slowly.

Chapitre 9 - Limette or Suck It Up

Step 4 - Sucking seductively on a lime.

After the brilliant result with the first two steps, Tae Kyung couldn't wait to get to step 4. He would have the chance to step up his game. For now, he was stuck with step 3 (trois). The sticky one. Fortunately, he had this one covered. He called one of his special friends to bring him a glue stick.

"Hey buddy! I need some glue stick. Could you hook me up?"

"What?" asked a confused Manager Ma.

"I need to stick things on me. Don't ask questions and be quick."

Tae Kyung then hung-up abruptly, ending the conversation. He looked around his spotless room, searching for some paraphernalia to stick on his young rock star body.

Oh, post-its. I can already start sticking, he thought while sticking one right over his bladder to bring Shin Woo's attention to the right place. He sat down, all tensed and ready to stick more things on him, for ten minutes.

Back in the kitchen...

Jeremy and Mi Nam were arguing and throwing food at each other while Mi Nyu was fighting with Jolie over the food that was now on the ground.

"Don't eat it, it's human food. Bad doggy," gently scolded the fierce ex-nun holding onto a meat and tomato sub.

"Grrrr."

Both the dog and Mi Nyu turned to face the growling man. It was Mi Nam, who had just received a pickle in the eye. Shin Woo was drinking his tea, by himself, still worried about Tae Kyung's sickness. He must be sick. It would explain all of his weird behaviour, including his boner this morning. He doesn't usually have them.

The small food fight continued for a while. Mi Nyu was getting frustrated and shifted her attention from Jolie to the two boys.

"You guys have to stop this! Please!"

In the mist of all this chaos, a sweaty man ran through the door. He screamed: "I'm coming Tae Kyung!" before rushing upstairs, leaving a trail of sweat behind him. Shin Woo briefly thought that he saw some glue sticks in the man's hands. He even counted them. There were five glue sticks.

Back to stick man...not a stick man but the stick man.

Tae Kyung was sitting in his chair, still waiting, when someone gently knocked on his door. He thought he had heard a voice earlier but he was too busy waiting.

"Tae Kyung. I spoke with President Ahn. Do you still have your boner? Is that why you need the glue? Because I brought five glue sticks, just in case."

The now blushing but still manly singer opened the door. He muttered something that Manager Ma didn't hear.

"What did you say?"

"It's not for my boner," mysteriously said Tae Kyung.

Manager Ma was a bit creeped out by the statement as his gaze went from the glue sticks to his crotch and back to Tae Kyung. He only had eyes for one man and one man only! He couldn't give into his desire for the younger man.

"I'm sorry but Coordi Wang is waiting for me in the car. My licence was revoked this morning after I ran in front of a bike. I have no right to circulate in public anymore; I lost my walking licence."

He made a dramatic pose in front of the camera before leaving in regret. It was the end of a bubbling romance.

"What did you say?" asked Tae Kyung as he finally stopped gazing at his glue sticks only to find out that there was no one to talk to. Well, I look stupid now. He entered his room and looked at the glue sticks in satisfaction. I should try and stick some stuff on me for practice purposes. I wonder if I could stick the entire glue stick on me...

Shin Woo had finish drinking his tea. He hadn't finished worrying over his band mate, however.

Mi Nam and Jeremy had stopped whining and growling (for Mi Nam) at each other and had left the kitchen. Jeremy said he had a sortie with Thierry pour un café and rushed out. Mi Nam, not at all pleased, quickly went to his room to change into his super American spy gear. Jeremy is French enough as it is...he doesn't need Thierry anymore! He thought as he ran after the blond, failing to perform the awesome spy flips he had seen in movies. Mi Nyu had stayed behind after kicking out Jolie to clean up the mess. She had calmed down a bit, but it was for the best if no one approached her.

Oh yeah...he's definitely sick. Maybe I should bring up some limes to his room. It's good for when you're sick and he said he liked them anyway, thought Shin Woo as he grabbed a few and cut them in half. He walked up to Tae Kyung's room and stopped when he heard odd sounds.

After a long pause, the tea-man identified the sound. Grunts. He almost dropped the limes at the realization. Could it be...the same problem as this morning? I don't feel like going in now...But he needs me. I guess I'll just leave the limes in front of his door.

He did just that and was about to leave when he heard a loud crashing noise. Things were getting serious, boner or no boner.

"I need to check to see if he's alright!"

He opened the door like a manly gorilla, after carefully picking up the limes. Tae Kyung was sadly looking at a broken lamp but otherwise seemed fine. There were post-its all over the walls and the floor was as sticky as his lipstick. The room was a total mess. Tae Kyung even had a glue stick glued to his forehead, a post-it right over his belt, and music sheets all over his arms. Something was definitely wrong.

"Ok, Tae Kyung, step away from the glue sticks," carefully said Shin Woo. He didn't want to startle the obviously sick man.

"But I need to stick things!" He's paying attention to me. This sticky thing works!

"Shh. It's okay, buddy. No one wants to hurt you. Here, I have some limes for you."

Tae Kyung's eyes widened at the sight and he avidly took the limes, ready to work on step 4. He let Shin Woo guide him out of his room. He didn't even flinch when his friend put his hand on his shoulder in a soft manner.

"Mi Nyu!" called Shin Woo. "Why don't you clean up the sticky mess in Tae Kyung's room? I know you are good at it."

He heard some angry muttering followed by a loud and overly cheerful "Okay".

He then turned to his sick friend and jumped in shock at the sight. Tae Kyung had his eyes wide open and was roughly sucking a lime, his eyebrows wiggling.
