Chapter 1

The next morning at the SHINee dorm was extremely lively.

Every morning, when it's not Jonghyun as the first person to wake up, it would be Minho because he goes jogging every morning.

However, today Minho would be jogging for a different reason.

Last night, he & Taemin snuck into his & Jonghyun's bedroom and found Jonghyun & Nikka sleeping in different beds.  Beside the bed where Nikka was sleeping, her opened bags were sprawled out all over the floor.  The 2 maknaes of SHINee quietly went to grab Minho's clothes for the next day, until Taemin noticed an open wallet on top of Nikka's luggage.

Taemin nudged Minho on the side.  "Hyung!  Hyung!  There's a picture in Nikka-sshi's wallet!"  he whispered.

"So what?"  Minho hissed back while looking for what to wear the next day.

Taemin stared back at the photo displayed in the wallet carefully.  "It's old... and the guy next to her looks like Eli hyung..."

Minho paused.  "Eli hyung?"  He turned back to Taemin.  He whispered, "Didn't Nikka say that she was from Los Angeles?"

So now, Minho wakes up Taemin and the two were about to go out to actually find Eli until.....

"Where are you taking my baby?"

Minho & Taemin cursed in their heads and turned to look at Key standing behind them, the middle section of his body wrapped in a big pink blanket.  Since Key was sleeping on the couch again, his hair had been messed up from the toss and turns his body did last night.

"Where are you taking my baby, Choi Minho?"  Key asked again.

"I want to warm up with hyung so I can get ready for a mandatory physical exam today,"  Taemin lied, "I'm hoping to grow muscles quickly like how Minho hyung grows his."

Key raised an eyebrow.  "Taemin, Jjong hyung has muscles too and works out without having Minho's extreme workouts - no offense, Minho - "   "None taken, dude."  " - and he's really buff and toned."

Taemin pouted cutely.  "But I want to stay tall like Minho hyung~!"  he whined.

Minho & Key laughed.  "Okay, okay, you made your point,"  Key waved them off.  "See you guys later, okay?"

They were about to leave until all 3 awake members heard a muffled cry, "Yah, I heard that, Minnie!"  coming from Jonghyun & Minho's bedroom.  They continued to chuckle as Minho & Taemin went off to find Eli at the U-Kiss dorm.  Key went back to the living room, pulled off the blanket, and tossed it on the couch before making his way into the kitchen to cook breakfast.

A few minutes later, a tired Jonghyun dragged a half-awake yet zombie-like Nikka out of the bedroom and into the dining room.  He lazily pulled out a chair for the foreign student and sat her on it before pulling out his own chair and doing the same.

Key turned to look at the newly awoken people.  For some reason, he felt something weird from the pit of his stomach but couldn't figure out what.

Jonghyun noticed the look on Key's face and immediately became alert.  "Yeobo, are you okay?"  he asked concerned.

Key nodded and waved him off.  "It's probably just a small pain in my stomach somewhere.  I should take some medicine from Onew hyung's cabinet in the bedroom before heading off..." he told him.

Jonghyun's eyes widened.  "Are you taking your car?"

"Of course, why?"  Key had already passed his driving tests after Onew, and being from a slightly wealthy family, he was able to purchase a car customized in style, but at the same time doesn't advertise HERE DRIVES A CELEBRITY.

Jonghyun stood up and held onto Key's arm before he could go away.  "Don't take the medicine then!  Most cold medicines can make a person drowsy, and that's a bad thing when you're driving." he warned his dongsaeng.

Key's eyes widened and he grinned at him.  "Hey, you're getting better at learning this stuff!  Thanks for reminding me, babe."  He leaned forward and pecked him on the cheek, suddenly feeling as if butterflies were dancing in his stomach.  He shrugged it off and left the kitchen to wake up the leader.

Meanwhile, after Key left, Jonghyun bit his lip as his cheeks flushed and his fingers grazed over to the place where Key kissed him.

"You like him, don't you?"

Jonghyun stopped in front of Onew's car and turned to Nikka, who was wearing a schoolboy uniform but looks baggy on her.

"Okay, first of all, how do you know Korean?  I thought you didn't speak it?  And second of all - what the heck are you wearing?"  he asked in his native language.  Nikka tilted her head and stared at Jonghyun in a confused manner.  Jonghyun sighed and repeated what he said in slow English.

Nikka nodded her head and replied in Korean, "I only speak little Korean and understand a little bit.  I'm wearing the standard uniform for school...?"

[A/N:  Because I get irritated with saying who speaks in English, green is when someone speaks in English, okay?]

Jonghyun chuckled and shook his head.  "Standard uniform is for private schools and for young people.  Minho stopped wearing uniforms and he's enrolled in Dankook University." he explained.

"Oh."  was Nikka's response.  Right when Jonghyun opened the door for Nikka, he heard her ask, "So you like Key, right?"

He quickly looked around the parking lot to see if there were any people around.  Minho was currently preparing himself for school after his 'jog' with Taemin, Key was helping Taemin get ready for his first day of school at another university, and Onew was discussing things with the manager before going down to the parking lot and driving for Minho & Nikka.  Key would drive Taemin while Onew helps Jonghyun & Nikka review on driving tips.

When he saw that the coast was clear, Jonghyun quickly pushed Nikka in the backseat of the car and followed suit, locking the door behind him.

"Yah,"  he hissed, "you don't go saying things like that - "

"I saw the way you looked at him a while ago."  she interjected.

Jonghyun grew quiet as Nikka continued.  "It's not just from what I see on the internet back at the States - this morning when he kissed you on the cheek you had that stupid grin on your face that you didn't get rid of until you had that shower afterwards."

There was a few minutes of awkward tension in the car before Jonghyun started to speak.

"Just...promise me you won't tell anyone - especially Key!  Okay?"

Nikka grinned at him and nodded.  "Okay!"

Meanwhile Onew & Minho walked their way towards the parking lot.  Minho noticed something and stopped Onew from going to his car.

"Hyung, you forgot something."  Onew turned to look at his dongsaeng in question.  Minho rolled his eyes and pulled the earplugs out of the leader's ears.  "Wearing a headset covering both ears is illegal and dangerous when driving, hyung." he reminded him.

"Ah!  Thank you, Minho!  Woo~  almost did my sangtae there, neh?"  Onew exclaimed in relief and patted his dongsaeng's back as he headed towards his car.  Minho shook his head and followed suit.

Key drove through a road which is nearby an elementary school.  He slowed down and turned to Taemin in the passenger seat.

"Okay, Taeminnie~  what is the speed limit for a school zone where children are present, unless otherwise posted?"  he asked.

"25 miles per hour."  Taemin answered.

Key cheered as he continued to drive.  "Good job, Tae!  I'll treat you to ice cream after your first day, okay?"

Taemin nodded happily and glanced out the window.  Then he suddenly thought of something and snuck his cellphone out to text someone.

From:  TaeTae Mushroom

Hyung!  Remember the plan this morning!  ;)  Minho hyung & Nikka-sshi won't be back from school until 2p.m.

A few minutes later, he felt a vibration and checked his phone while Key concentrated on the road and listened to Mr. Simple on the radio.

From:  Eli hyung

Got it!  ;)  Thanks for everything, man!  I can't believe I get to see my friend again!  You think she'll remember me?

From:  TaeTae Mushroom

I doubt it, honestly, since you're an idol, but in time I think she'll remember you~

From:  Eli hyung

Alright.  :(  I hope she does~ thanks again, dude!

Taemin smiled and shoved his phone back in his pocket.

"Why couldn't we have gone into Onew's car back home?"  Nikka asked curiously as she and Minho walked away from Dankook University - just because Minho wanted to 'exercise'.

Minho sighed and looked down beside him and at Nikka's gradient hair because he can't see eye to eye with her due to their height difference.  "First off, call all of us except Taemin 'oppa'.  Second, don't you want some exercise to lose all that baby fat?"

That last sentence hit a nerve through Nikka's body, causing her to focus on the ground and walk faster ahead of Minho.  The tall boy suddenly felt bad and realized his mistake of words.  "Nikka-sshi, wait!" he called out to her and chased after her.

Nikka's pace quickened and started to run away from Minho.  It wasn't bad enough that her first day of school wasn't exactly a happy day, but to have a familiar person somehow remind her of the reason why she was teased at ......let's just say the girl was happy when she first found out she was able to travel abroad to study.

Suddenly she bumped into someone due to the fact that her head was still facing the ground as she ran and fell down backwards.  The guy she bumped into accidentally fell onto her.  Minho saw the accident and ran to catch up to them.  Once he saw who fell on the foreign student, he secretly smiled and stood where he was at.

Nikka and the random guy groaned in unison as they slowly opened their eyes.

"Sorry, I wasn't looking - "   "My bad, it was my fault - "

The two blinked and stared at each other.  Nikka furrowed her eyebrows at him while the guy's eyes widened along with his smile.

"Do I know you?"  she asked the familiar stranger.

"Nikka!"  he cried out and started hugging the foreigner, the both of them still on the ground.  "It's me, Eli!  We were friends back in elementary school until you moved to another school.  Don't you remember me?!"  he exclaimed.

Her jaw dropped in disbelief.  "Wait.....Pidgeon boy?"  She suddenly remembered the boy in the photograph she always keeps in her wallet.

Eli nodded without hesitation.  "Yeah, it's me, Doll!"  Nikka grimaced as she remembered the nickname she hated.

Minho smiled as he took out his phone and took a couple of pictures of the reunion of friends.  Mission complete.  Next mission:  JongKey.
