Before we went into the cafeteria, Jae stopped me by grabbing my arm. “Wait.” He said.

“What?”

“How are we suppose to protect our kids from something like that?”

“What do you mean, you mean like from what happened back there?”

“Yeah, kind of, I mean, well you saw what happened back there, who’s to say stuff like that won’t happen to Xiah and Micky, and there was already that fight that Micky got into with that kid in the lunch line, a few weeks ago. I just... I just don’t want to see my baby getting bullied is all. And... and we won’t be here to stop it.”

“Jae, we couldn’t do much even when we were here. Plus, the boys can take care of themselves... well, at least Yoochun has already proven that he can take care of our son. Besides, I think we should be more worried about the backlash that’s going to happen concerning Eun Sun’s pregnancy, if anything.”

“There will be a backlash, huh, I was kind of hoping that things have changed over the years, well, since our freshmen year.” Jae said. He was referring to this Senior we knew in our Freshmen year of High School. She too had gotten pregnant. And just like Eun Sun everyone was nice to her face, but when that poor girl wasn’t around...

“Hey, you remember that chant kids used to sing?” I asked.

“Which one?”

“Good point, I mean the “jolly good whore” one.” Yes, that awful chant that I’m ashamed to say even I chanted a few times that year... well, it WAS rather catchy, it went: “For she’s a jolly good whore, for she’s a jolly good whore, for she’s a jolly good whore, cause there’s no one she won’t deny”. Awful right?

“Oh god, I hope they don’t say things like that to her, but kids are getting more and more creative these days. Yunnie, what should we do?”

“Again, there isn’t anything we really can do, Jae, but to keep trying our best to be there for them like we have been.”

“Yeah, great parents we are.” Jae said, sarcastically.

“What do you mean?”

“I mean, we have a fifteen - year - old, who’s about to be a father, and sixteen - year - old, that would probably be in the same position if he wasn’t dating a guy. We raised man - hoes, Yunnie...”

“Well, I wouldn’t go as far as to say that, I mean, Micky is the first... relationship Junsu has ever had, and it’s the same thing with Changmin.”

“Exactly, it’s only their first relationships, and they’re already going at it, it’s awful, I mean, there’s that whole issue, and...”

“And what?” Jaejoong sat down on the ground, so I quickly followed suit. I had a feeling that whatever he was about to say, it was the real reason he wanted to stop and talk to me. “Jae?”

“I hit him.”

“Who?”

“Minnie, it was just with a pillow, but, it could have just as easily been my fist.”

“But it wasn’t.”

“But it could have been, I mean, I was just so mad...”

“Jaejoong, you’re nothing like her, you’re tens times a better mother, a better person then she was, come on, you know that, right?”

“I promised myself I would never hit them, Yunnie.”

“And you won’t, and it’ll be a promise I’ll help you keep, even if it means buying one of those sand bag things, and we'll hang that up, just so you’ll have something to hit when you get mad, okay?”

“That would be cool.”

“Yes, yes it would. But, I think we should continue this discussion at home, when it’s just you and me, and not here.” The last thing I wanted was to see my baby break down right before we head in to get our pictures taken. He’d hate himself if that were to happen. And I knew this conversation was far from over. We never really talked about our mothers. And it WAS something we would have to discuss sooner or later.

“If it were just you and me, there wouldn’t be much talking.” At least he’s cheering up.

“I see no problem in that, now, with that said, we’ve got some horny boys and a room full of our friends waiting for us, so you wanna start heading back in now?” He thought for a moment.

“Just five more minutes, kay?” I then wrapped my arm around Jae’s waist and he laid his head on my shoulder.

“Sure thing, love.”

When we did enter the cafeteria, it was packed. Cameras flashing everywhere, lots of noise, laugher, and it contained everything else that you would find at a group gathering. So I scanned the area. Junsu and Yoochun were talking with their friends. Okay, at least they’re visible. I then saw Changmin and Eunsun sitting at a table with their friends. Okay, they're safe... now where are MY friends? Oh, here comes Heechul and Boa now... uh oh... this will be the first official face to face meeting between Jae and Boa since the “prom incident” (For the rest of our days in school Boa and Heechul sat at a different table during lunch. Heechul said he wasn’t mad, he just couldn’t trust that Jae wouldn’t try to attack his girlfriend again... though Boa then said she never agreed to be his boyfriend, just his date to the prom... yeah, I left the (internet) chat room after that).

“Hello, dearies.” Greeted Heechul as they approached us. I saw Jae visibly stiffen beside me. So I grabbed his hand and gave it a good squeeze for support. He glanced at me for half a second before returning his attention back to the two before us.

“Hello, yourselves.” I said cheerfully, or at least what I hoped was cheerful. And now the cue for thirty seconds of awkward silence. It was only broken when Heechul elbowed Boa lightly in her side.

“What? If anything, he should apologize to me.”

“Why should I apologize to you?” Jae knew she was talking about him.

“Ummm, lets see, for trying to beat me with your shoe, Oppa.” Funny, he felt bad for hitting Changmin with a pillow, but didn’t seem to have any qualms about the near shoe beat down with BoA.

“Well, that wouldn’t have happened if you didn’t go around kissing other people’s boyfriends.” Good point.

“Fiancé.” I corrected.

“Yeah that too.” Jae added.

“Technically, you were just his boyfriend at the time.” Heechul pointed out.

“Technically, I’ve never been JUST Jae’s boyfriend.” I countered, which caused Jae to grin, and Heechul to stick his finger in his mouth and make a gagging motion.

“Doesn’t matter, besides, I wasn’t trying to come between you two, Oppa, I was trying to help you move on to the next step in your relationship.” BoA directed at Jae.

“She's right, Jae, if it weren’t for BoA and her father, you would never have the bracelet that represents my love for you, clasped around your wrist.” I said. Jae looked down at his wrist and turned it, showing all sides of the bracelet that was securely fastened to him.

“Maybe.”

“Jaejoong.”

“Okay okay, Boa, I’m sorry I tried to beat you with my shoe, and I am grateful to you and your father for helping to make my engagement bracelet.”

“It’s okay, I guess I would have reacted the same way if I got the notion that I might be losing a great guy like Yunho oppa to someone else.” Boa said.

“Hey, what about me, I’m great too, right?” Heechul asked. But BoA didn’t get a chance to answer as a pack of girls came up to us.

“Jae Joong oppa, Yun Ho oppa, can we take a picture of you two together?” They all asked at the same time. Okay, they have to had practiced saying that before coming over here.

“Oh, they look so much hotter when they're wet.” One of the girls in the back said, causing a wave of giggles to come at us. I looked over at Jaejoong to see what he thought of all of this. He once again had his hand raised to hide his laughter. I grinned, reached over and took his hand away from his face, at the same time I pulled him closer to me, so close it looked like that we were about to begin slow dancing at any moment. Jaejoong’s grin widen.

“Is this a good pose for you, girls?” I asked the girls. My answer was being blinded by MANY camera flashes. So this is what celebrities go through. I could never imagine living like this on a daily basis. But for today, I held on to Jaejoong tightly and let the cameras flash. Heechul began to run around behind us and making funny poses, so he could at least be in the background of the pictures. When the girls finally had their fill, they left us. But I didn’t let Jae go.

“You can let go now, Yunnie.” Jae said, like I knew he would.

“What if I don’t want to.” I could see a plan formulating in his eyes. Was I going to regret doing this? Jae’s hands snaked around to the back of my neck, and he pulled me down into a fierce kiss. NOPE no regrets whatsoever. When we broke for air, I noticed the flashing of cameras had started up again.

“All right, show’s over, there’s nothing else to see here.” Heechul said as he tried to break up the crowd of girls that had surrounded us.

“Now was that really necessary. I mean, didn’t your “fan club”, get a good enough show at Heechul’s Christmas party?” Leeteuk said as he approached us. Jae then left my arms and ran into the arms of his best friend.

“Teukie! I’ve been looking everywhere for you!”

“Oh you have not, you’ve been making out with Yunho.”

“Well yeah, that too, but right after I was going to go look for you.” I just shook my head. Boa came up to me then.

“Do you think he still hates me?” She asked me, she meant Jae.

“Nah, I don’t think he's ever “hated” you.” She gave me a look that said, “I don’t believe you”. “Okay, so I hate to admit that I don’t think he ever did, or ever really will “like” you, but...”

“Hey, like I say before, it’s okay, really.”

“Oh yeah, and what about the other thing you said before, do you really think I’m SOOO great.” I said cheekily.

“Well, I had to say something to keep him from wanting to hit me again, right?” My puffed up chest deflated. And I heard Heechul laughing at me to my left. “No really, I think any... person would be lucky to have you as their fiancé.” I saw Heechul nod in agreement to my left. To my right Jae and Leeteuk were currently jumping up and down, and spinning in a circle, and chanting “WE DID IT!”, meaning the fact that they had just graduated. Soon Yesung and Hankyung joined their circle. Kangin was on the sidelines with the rest of us taking pictures of the goof balls.

“Hey, Kangin?”

“Yeah?”

“You think you can get me a copy of that?”

“Sure thing.” Oh yeah, these are perfect blackmail pictures. Life was good. When the “happy dance” ended, Jae headed back over to me.

“Guess what?” he asked.

“What?”

“Leeteukie invited us over to his place for a big graduation party, and we’re invited to sleep over too.”

“What about the kids?”

“They’re invited too.”

“Sounds like a plan.”

“SWEET, I’ll go tell him.” I stopped Jae from leaving by grabbing his wrist and bringing him in for a kiss. “What was that for?”

“Because I love you.”

“I know... oh hey, I said that just like they say in STAR WARS.”

****************************

“You can lower your mouth now, Min.” Siwon said to me. OH MY GRAPES. WHY did my parents have to be SOOO embarrassing. I mean, KISSING in PUBLIC... wasn’t there a school rule against that? And now Mom is off gallivanting with his friends like he is frickin two. My gaze went back to where I had last seen my brother, I wanted to see what his reaction to all of this was. It seems he was searching me out too. Our eyes locked, and we just shook our heads at each other.

“Well, I’m going to go see if any of the girls got a good pic of your parents kissing, later.” Eun Sun said. She kissed me on the cheek and then left the table (she took Jung Min with her). I shook my head at the both of them.

“Don’t you see enough of that at home, why do you need a picture of it?” She just grinned at me and walked away. Girls... I shall NEVER understand them.

“So, how IS living with the girlfriend going?” Kibum asked me.

“Well, it’s only been a week, and so far so good. I mean, besides the fact that my family seems to avoid her like the plague... yeah, other then that, things are just peachy at the Kim household.” Kibum took in everything I said.

“Bummer.” Was his response to it.

“Don’t worry, they have to warm up to her at some point, cause in nine months they have to get used to living with her AND the baby, whatever it will be.” Siwon said.

“What would it be besides a baby?”

“I mean whether it’s a boy or girl, Min.” Siwon laughed at me.

“You’re really dumb sometimes, you know that, Min.” Kibum said. The others laughed. Grrrr. This is Siwon’s fault, he worded his... words weirdly, got me... it made me think silly things. I narrowed my eyes at Siwon.

“Yeah, well at least I’m not dumb enough to almost FAIL GYM.” Oh yeah, it’s so on.

“Hey, we both know it’s a stupid rule to take points off of someone’s final grade just because they kept forgetting to bring a change of clothes.” He said in his defense. Even though we didn’t take the same gym class. I was still told his sad... sad gym story.

“So, it doesn’t make you any less the dumb one, seeing as how everyone ELSE seemed to have no problem remembering.” He shook his head and pressed his lips together. Okay, so this wasn’t like a REAL argument, but we were fighting... if that makes any sense.

“Oh, yeah,” He leaned into me. “Well at least I’m not stupid enough to get HIGH on sugar, and then proceed to KNOCK - UP my girlfriend.” Oh, he didn’t just go there.

“Well, at least I don’t get DRUNK and have sex with OTHER PEOPLE’S girlfriends.” CRAP... I just took it too far... and revealed a REAL secret. Which is a best friend no no. He knew it too as his eyes widened. “Sorry.” I quickly blurted out. But it was too late. I had opened Pandora's box.

“Wait what, whose girlfriend did you have sex with?” Kibum asked.

“Am I the only one left in our group that HASN’T had sex yet?” Ryeowook asked.

“I haven’t, Kyuhyun?” Kibum said and then asked.

“Really?” I asked Kibum. But he’s had all those girlfriends... huh, that means he didn’t even do it with the one Siwon did it with. HAHA, what a loser.

“Don’t look at me, my sex life is my own damn business.” Kyuhyun answered to Kibum.

“So you DO have a sex life.” Kibum counted. Kyu just dug his own hole there. But at least we had successfully taken the heat off of Siwon. At least I thought we did. Damn Kibum and his super brain. “You know what, hold onto that thought, I’ll question you in a minute.” He said to Kyuhyun. “What I want to know now, is who the heck YOU had sex with?” He asked Siwon. “And since when do we keep all these secrets from each other?” He asked this to all of us.

“I don’t know, but the second I have sex I’ll be sure to tell all of you.” Ryeowook chipped in.

“Thank you.” Kibum said to him. Then he turned back to Siwon, waiting for his answer. I mouthed another sorry to Siwon. He just shook his head and mouthed “forget about it”. Good, so I hadn’t just ruined ten years of friendship. WOOT!

“Kibum, you mind if I talk to you out in the hallway?” Siwon asked.

“Why are you only going to tell him?” Kyuhyun asked.

“Because it was one of my past girlfriends, wasn’t it... wait, it’s not Joo Hee is it?” The girl he is currently dating.

“What no, just come with me. I’ll tell you guys later, but Kibum needs to hear this first.” Siwon said. Yeah, that and he didn’t want the others to see him get bitch slapped by Kibum once he hears the truth. See the girl Siwon had sex with was also the only girl to ever break up with Kibum (and not the other way around). So he still kind of likes her. AND with that, Kibum and Siwon both got up. “Oh, and just so we’re even... everyone, our friend, Min, here, still sleeps with a night light.” BASTARD. But, I guess I deserved that.

“I guess I deserved that.”

“You have no idea.” Then he winked at me to show that he really wasn’t mad. Or at least I think that’s why he did it... Anyway, Siwon and Kibum left the table after that.
