Chapter Five

When the clock struck 3 am, Mi Nam began to roam around the dorm, searching for substance before attempting to acquire alcohol.

He felt his stomach grumble and he moaned in response, "Why am I even so hungry right now?"

The boy sauntered on in to the living room where he was immediately met with the sight of Jeremy, passed out on the couch. The bowl of cheese balls still in his lap.

Mi Nam came closer to his hyung. "Seriously, he fell asleep out here like this? How can he complain about not being an idiot when he does things like this?"

Then, he smelled it. "Oh god." He turned away, holding his nose. There was no denying that his hyung was drunk. His pores were practically emitting alcohol. Still, it was a bit shocking, since he so rarely drank anything at all. At best, Mi Nam has only seen him tipsy.

"Sheesh. He must be a lightweight."

At the end of his sentence Jeremy fell over, knocking the cheese balls to Mi Nam's feet. He shuddered, kicking them away. He despised those snacks with a passion.

"Hey!" Mi Nam shook Jeremy by the shoulders. "Wake up!" He whispered furiously. He couldn't let him sleep outside on the couch.

"Julie, you know I don't want to leave you." The older spoke, completely in English.

It was a good thing Mi Nam's English was up to par with his hyung. Who's Julie, huh? At least Mi Nam would have a potential juicy piece of gossip to bother his hyung about. With his hands still on his shoulder, he attempted to wake Jeremy up again.

"Julie, just one last kiss?" Jeremy's lips puckered towards Mi Nam, the younger instantaneously dodging them.

"Are you crazy?" He slapped him straight across the face, out of reflex. It probably wasn't the best way to wake him up, considering the circumstance.

Jeremy's eyes shot straight open. Getting harshly pushed out the way, Mi Nam watched as Jeremy flew into the nearest bathroom.

Following his path, he quickly walked to the downstairs bathroom to check on his hyung. He rested in the doorway of the bathroom, where, Jeremy was bent over the toilet, puking.

Mi Nam entered the bathroom, and got on his knees next to Jeremy. Patting his back in support, he couldn't help but teasingly hum, "Looks like someone can't handle their liquor~"

He watched as Jeremy's hand found the toliet's handle and flushed it. Taking his face out of the bowl, he gazed at his band mate. "Why?"

"Do you think I'm completely cold-hearted? Give me some credit, hyung."

Jeremy swayed a bit before his back hit the back of the bathroom wall. "I really have doubts about that."

"You should never doubt your dongsaeng." Mi Nam commented, getting up, to go retrieve a cup out of the medicine cabinet.

" I feel like shit." Jeremy moaned, his head resting in the crook of the wall. Mi Nam looked over at him as he filled his cup with water. "What did you guys even do? Drink a whole case of soju?"

"Coordinator, Manager Ma, Shin Woo and I all played 'I never'."

"That's not surprising." He gave the cup to Jeremy. "Here."

He gulped the water down swiftly, before shooting a funny gaze to his counterpart. "I like your boxers."

Mi Nam looked down. He forgot he was wearing his Hello Kitty boxers. And just his boxers.

Embarrassment shot through him like a lighting bolt. "Don't judge me. He Yi gave these to me." Sure he knew better than to walk around the dorm in just his underwear but no one was supposed to see him.

"I'm not judging. I said I liked them. Is it hard for you to take a compliment?"

"Of course not. I get them all time." It was just weird for Mi Nam to hear them from Jeremy.

"But what are you doing up this late?" Jeremy asked.

"What are you doing wasted?"

"Touché." Jeremy got up rather shakily, facing Mi Nam. The older had a feeling as to what was coming next and he was hoping to stop it.

"Anyways, I'm going out for a ride. Make yourself some tea and try to get to sleep." He decided that drinking was probably not the best of ideas now and just wanted to feel the wind in his hair. What better time than now- when the streets would be dead?

"Wait, whoa- You are not taking the bike again."

"Sorry hyung, but its way too convenient for me not to."

"What's your problem?" Jeremy snapped an attitude. Mi Nam had to admit, he was quite intimidating after he drunk. But that wasn't anything Go Mi Nam couldn't handle.

"I'm only going to say this one more time; don't you ever use my bike without my permission." Jeremy was beginning to sober up, however slowly.

"What are you going to do then?" Go Mi Nam provoked. The boy suddenly grabbed Jeremy by the ear- the older was caught way off guard; his still-hammered reflexes making his reactions too slow. "Gah!" He screamed as Mi Nam proceeded to drag him out of the bathroom.

"If you want to intimidate me hyung, you've got to step up your game."

"My ear! Let go! What did my ear ever do to you?" Jeremy screamed.

"Oh shut up before you wake someone up!" He scolded back. "And, it's the not the ear, it's the person it's attached to."

Jeremy was dragged along, frustrated until they reached the kitchen. This guy is impossible.

"Since you need to sober up, I have no choice but to help you."

Mi Nam pushed Jeremy into a seat at the table.

"I'm going to make some tea. So just sit down and be quiet."

Jeremy could only rest his head on the table. As much as he was tempted to say words, restrained himself.

Mi Nam got the kettle and filled it with water. They stayed in silence as Mi Nam but it on the stove and turned up the heat. While waiting he got out the tea and two cups for Jeremy and himself. He placed a cup in front of Jeremy and put in a tea bag before doing so for himself. "Usually this dulls my headache away. One of my exes used to make it for me a lot."

"Oh?"

It was an odd sort of opening up for Mi Nam, Jeremy had to admit. But he was intrigued. "Did you use to drink that heavily all the time?"

The tea whistled before Mi Nam could answer and he took the pot off the stove. He wouldn't have answered that question. He didn't even know why he told Jeremy what he just did anyway. Like Jeremy would care.

Returning in front of his hyung he poured in the steaming hot water into his cup.

Watching as the tea infiltrated the water, Jeremy hesitantly grabbed the handle. "Why do I feel like this is poison?" He quietly questioned, still taking a small sip.

Mi Nam sighed, "Whatever. I've got a question." His dream hysteria had gotten the best of him. "Has Tae Kyung-…have my sister and Tae Kyung ever…" Even the wording of the sentence was hard to compose as he poured water into his own mug.

"I don't know why you're asking me." Jeremy immediately replied. Really he didn't know why Mi Nam thought he would know something like that.

"You lived here with them! You would be the one to know." He knew asking Shin Woo would be a little bit too awkward so it came to Jeremy by default.

"You want my honest opinion?"

"For once, yes."

"No. I think you're worrying too much."

He made a barely audible grumble in response. Perhaps he was worrying too much. Mi Nam figured they wouldn't have had sex because Mi Nyu definitely wasn't that type of girl. Hell, she was on her way to becoming a nun before Manager Ma got her into all of this. Then again, he couldn't really put it completely past her. There was one thing he was sure of, and that was that she wouldn't be reckless.

Jeremy watched his dongsaeng seem to have a internal battle for a minute or two before noticing something around his neck he had never seen before." Did Go Mi Nyu give you that?"

"What are you talking about?" He asked after taking a sip of tea.

"The locket?" He pointed to it.

Mi Nam spit out his tea – thankfully missing most of Jeremy's face, the boy only getting a little spray. "What?!"

"Ughh." Jeremy wiped his face. That wasn't the worst thing to hit his face- considering his baby nephew peed and puked on him. "What's wrong with you?"

"This locket! I have no clue where it came from! I just woke up with it on! And just now I took it off!" Mi Nam was five seconds from a major freak out. I could have sworn I threw it down before I left. Is this even right? How did this get on my neck? Am I being possessed?

"Hmm. Mi Nam I think you're just really tired. It's probably a fan gift that you don't remember getting. Happens to me all the time." Jeremy causually replied.

Jeremy not feeling too inclined to drink anymore tea after nearly getting scalded, got up and headed towards the sink. "You should get your sister a matching one for her birthday."

"You know our birthday?" Mi Nam was a bit shocked.

"Her birthday." Jeremy could only emphasize the her. Sometimes he wondered how Mi Nyu grew up with him.

He put his cup in the sink, while Mi Nam following him with narrowed eyes. "We share the same one, doofus. You don't have to be stingy. Are you going to get me anything?"

Jeremy sighed, leaning down into the sink and splashing his face with cold water. "Drink your tea and go to bed, Go Mi Nam."

Mi Nam's mouth gaped. "You…..Did you…really just tell me what to do?" He could swear up and down Jeremy was bolder when he was drunk.

Jeremy made a quick move grabbing his bike keys from the key holder. "Like I said, you aren't taking my bike."

"Don't think I won't find those keys!" Mi Nam found Jeremy to be a bit too predictable. He already knew every place he would think to hide them.

"Goodnight." Jeremy dipped out the room quickly, leaving Mi Nam on his own.

Mi Nam took both of the tea cups, heading towards the sink to wash them. Turning on the water, he let his eyes wander outside of the window to the stars. Since it was only half lit in the kitchen, so he could see them fairly well.

Running over the cups with a sponge, he hummed a random tune that popped into his head. Without realizing it his thoughts had traveled to his current romantic interest, Yoo He Yi. "Could she be the one?" He mused to himself, glancing down at the locket. "Maybe you are something that is supposed to belong to her?

Go Mi Nam felt as if their relationship had gotten serious enough. He recalled the time they went out shopping together and they passed a jewelry shop. She had been eying this one ring for thirty minutes. Finally he asked her if she wanted it.

"Maybe~" She hummed.

It was a beautiful ring, in the shape of a rose with a diamond straight in the center. He couldn't take his mind of it after he saw it, and a couple of days later he purchased it. Maybe that day will come soon for us?

The next morning Hwang Tae Kyung awoke to the smell of something good flowing in from the kitchen. He rolled over; expecting to see his girlfriend- only to find her side of the bed abandoned.

"Of course." He sat up on the edge of his bed. He had never been one to eat breakfast, especially with his comrades around- but if his girlfriend was going to be making breakfast- or any meal, he really could reconsider.

Putting on a jacket he left his room, making his way to the kitchen.

When he entered the kitchen he saw quite the scene- Go Mi Nyu was in a cute little polka dot apron with her hair out, and she had just turned off the stove. It was like one of his dreams had come true.

Oh, she's so cute like that. I could just take her everywhere with me. He was lovesick for the first time in his life; and he didn't mind it one bit.

Tae Kyung then looked over to his band mates and the table. There was a vast array of food of which Tae Kyung wanted to try.

Mi Nam was eating like he was in a competition while Jeremy was eating eerily slow. And, Shin Woo was just Shin Woo.

Jeremy gave Tae Kyung a weird feeling as he sat down at the table.

"Good morning, Tae Kyung." Shin Woo acknowledged him at the table.

"Yeah, good morning hyung." Mi Nam mumbled between the shoveling.

"Oh, hyung Good Morning." Jeremy said halfheartedly.

He looked over at Mi Nyu who had just come by his side, with a bowl of soup. "Tae Kyung, I made a soup especially for you." She set it in front of him. "I hope you enjoy it. I made it free of sesame seed, shellfish and things I know you dislike!"

He glanced down at the soup. There was a shape of a heart in the middle. He didn't know how she did it, but it was no doubt the most adorable thing he'd ever seen in his life. "Are you going to eat?" He noticed she didn't set a place for herself.

"Oh no." She smiled.

"When did you last eat, Mi Nyu?" Shin Woo sounded concerned.

She rolled her eyes up towards the ceiling, trying to remember. "Yesterday afternoon? I had some snacks on the plane. But I'm fine. I don't much of have an appetite."

"Sit down." Tae Kyung demanded. "You're at least going to eat some rice."

She pushed out her cheeks. "Actually, I need to run some errands. I mean, there's not a lot of food left in the refrigerator. I'll be back soon though." Mi Nyu had the concept that she could work herself into hunger. "And if I get there early I can catch the special sales!"

"I wanted to eat breakfast with you Mi Nyu!" Jeremy pouted.

"Sorry Jeremy. We can go out for lunch together, later okay?" She began to take her apron off, placing it on a little rack.

He smiled. "Okay."

"Hey, you forgot something." Tae Kyung felt deeply offended.

"Yes? What?"

The leader pointed towards his cheek.

"Oh." She giggled, running back into the kitchen area and giving him a kiss on the cheek. "I'm sorry." She quickly moved to kiss her brother on the head as well. "Please be good, Oppa."

"I can't make any promises." He reached over to with his chopsticks to a random side dish, with a mouth already full of food. "Come back safely."

"Hey!" Jealously ran through Jeremy. "Can I get a kiss too?"

"Sorry, I've got to go." He pouted as she left with a light shut of the door. Now the air was a bit more awkward; especially between the newest member and the blonde drummer.

Is something wrong with her? Tae Kyung worried slightly, not paying attention to the tension Shin Woo was very consciously aware of. Then again, I don't think I could eat after making that much food either.

Go Mi Nyu's exit made her brother feel uneasy, certain thoughts still lingering from last night. It couldn't be morning sickness right?

Tae Kyung finally eyed the table. The source was Jeremy, who had dark circles under his eyes.

Jeremy looked at Mi Nam rather interestingly. "The flowers..."

"What?" Shin Woo asked, gazing at Jeremy. "Are you feeling okay?" He felt Jeremy's forehead. "You've been spacey this morning." Since Shin Woo didn't feel a fever he took his hand down, but one look in Jeremy's eyes and he could tell something happened to him.

"He's fine." Mi Nam swallowed down all of his food, glancing over to Jeremy. "And stop staring at me! I'm not a sideshow!"

"I wasn't staring at you! I was looking out the window! Who would waste time looking at your face, huh?"

"You punk! You're not even eating my sister's food and now you're yelling nonsense at the table! So disrespectful!"

At the mention of that, Tae Kyung took his spoon and finally tried the soup, blissfully ignoring their argument. It was even better than he thought it would be. It gave him a shiver of delight to know it was made just for him.

"How can you call me disrespectful when you walk around the house like a zombie in your underwear?"

Mi Nam was completely taken aback. "You-!"

Tae Kyung almost choked on his soup while Shin Woo sighed, "This is going to be a very long day."
