Remember me?

"Please tell me she's gonna be fine." Emi said frantically.
"She's a strong girl, she'll be okay."
"You sure?" Emi sighed and sat down beside her twin's hospital bed.
"Yes, Rachel lives on for you, and your brother.. And hopefully me." Junhyung said.
Emi bit back a tear.
"I told her it was dangerous! She never ever listens to me!" Emi whined.
"I'm sure she learnt her lesson."
"You're her boyfriend. She listens to you. More than she listens to me. Why don't you talk to her?" Emi turned to Junhyung.
Before Junhyung could answer, the twin's older brother walked in.
"How is she?" Alexander asked worriedly.
"She hasn't woke up yet, but the doctor told us not to worry." Junhyung answered. Alexander nodded.
"Why don't you and Junhyung go home and rest? You two have been here the whole day." Alexander suggested.
"But-" Emi started.
"I don't want the other twin to collapse. Go home and get some rest. And call Mom to tell her things are fine." Alexander said.
"Fine..."
"I'll call you both if there's any updates."
"I send you home." Junhyung offered and Emi nodded.
"Be careful please." Alexander said while Emi hugged him.

In the late afternoon, Rachel's doctor walked in.
"How's she? Doctor....." Alexander looked at the nametag. "Doctor Shin."
"She'll be okay. I'm here to introduce you the new doctor incharge of this ward."
"New... doctor?" Alexander answered, looking skeptical.
"He just joined us, but I assure you, he's a very talented young doctor." Doctor Shin nodded.
"This is Doctor Kibum." A young doctor who looked about Rachel & Emi's age walked in.
"Isn't he... abit too young?" Alexander freaked.
"Don't worry, he's very capable." Doctor Shin smiled.

---

"Ale-Alexander..." Rachel croaked.
"Yes yes, I'm here. How you feeling?" Alexander rushed to the bedside.
"I need water."
Alexander poured her a cup of water. Rachel took the cup weakly. He sighed and walk out of the room to call Emi.
"Emi. Rachel's awake." He said when she answered the phone.
"She is?! I'll call Junhyung & we'll head over now!" Emi yelled.

"Emi and your boyfriend is coming now." Alexander told Rachel as he walked back to the room.
"My boyfriend? Who's my boyfriend?" Rachel looked confused.
"Junhyung. Don't you remember?" Alexander said slowly and Rachel shook her head.
"This is bad. You remember me right? You remember Emi?" Alexander asked.
"Of cause I remember you, and of cause I remember Emi, how can I forget my brother and twin?" Rachel still looked confused.
At this time, Kibum walked pass the room on his hourly rounds. Alexander called out to him.
"Yes?" Kibum asked, walking into the room.
"is he my boyfriend?" Rachel asked.
"What?"
"No, he isnt.." Alexander shook his head.
"What's the matter?"
"She can't remember that she has a boyfriend, but she can remember me and her twin sister. Is there something we should know?" Alexander asked.
"Well, she had a head concussion. So it's very likely, she will lose part of her memory temporarily. She will regain them after a few weeks." Kibum explained.
"A few weeks... I don't know how her boyfriend will take the news." Alexander shook his head again.

"She's awake?!" Emi ran into the room, followed by Junhyung.
"Emi!" Rachel cheered as Emi ran to hug her younger twin sister.
"Yes, but Junhyung, she doesn't remember that you're her boyfriend." Alexander looked at Junhyung.
"What?! I don't understand, WHY?!" Junhyung freaked.
"The doctor said she knocked her head hard during the accident, thus her memory lost, but it's only temporary. A few weeks." Alexander explained to both Junhyung.
"A few weeks.. what am I gonna do now, my girlfriend doesn't recognise me." Junhyung slumped down on the chair next to Rachel's bed.
Alexander stood thinking while looking at his twin sisters laughing away.
"Come, we go ask the doctor what to do." Alexander beckon for Junhyung for follow him.
"Where are you guys going?" Emi asked in between fits of laughter.
"We're gonna get some drinks, you stay here and accompany Rachh ya?" Alexander said and Emi nodded.
"It'll be okay." Alexander patted Junhyung's back. "She'll regain her memory soon."
"I know, but when she was unconsious, I told myself, I will be there for her when she wakes up, but now she doesn't even remember me."
Alexander let out a sigh, and continued their walk to the doctor's office.

"Doctor Kibum?" Alexander knocked on the door.
"Oh, Mr Eusebio, come in." Kibum smiled. "Yes, how may I help you?"
"You said my sister's memory may take a few weeks to come back, is there any other way to speed things up?" Alexander asked while Junhyung sulked beside him.
"Well, you can try showing her pictures, you can talk to her about the past. But, you can't force too much information on her at once." Kibum answered.
Junhyung looked up. "Pictures, right. Thanks!" He thanked Kibum and ran off.
"That's her boyfriend?" Kibum jabbed a thumb towards the direction Junhyung ran off.
"Yup, they have been together for quite a long time. So for her not to remember him is rather devasting to him." Alexander explained.
"Oh. Hope she remembers him soon." Kibum smiled
"Thanks." Alexander thanked Kibum and left.

As he got back into the ward, Junhyung wasn't here.
"Where's Junhyung?" He asked Emi.
"I don't know. I thought he left with you?" Emi raised an eyebrow.
"Who's Junhyung?" Rachel asked.
"Your boyfriend, dear." Alexander said.
"My boyfriend? But I really don't remember him."
"You will, in time to come." Alexander reassured.
"What's going on here?" Emi asked, confused.
"She lost part of her memory."
"No wonder she didn't rush to hug Junhyung when we came in." Emi nodded understandingly.

"Where is it?!" Junhyung mumbled to himself as he rummaged through his bookshelf, trying to find the scrapbook of pictures made by Rachel for him during their 4th year anniversary.
"AH HA! FOUND IT!" He grabbed a blue leather bound book off the shelf and sat down on the bed.
He flipped through the pages, laughing at their silly moments. 'I hope this helps.' he thought to himself.
With that, he rushed out to his car, driving as fast as he could to the hospital.
As he rushed into the ward, he realised Rachel was sleeping.
"Shhhss, she's sleeping. Where did you do?" Emi asked.
"I went home to look for this! The doctor told us that showing her pictures and talking about the past will help her regain her memory." Junhyung answered between pants.
"Let me see." Emi reached out to take the book from Junhyung's hands.
"She made all this?" Emi exclaimed as she flipped through the pages, and Junhyung nodded.
"No wonder she doesn't have time to go out with me." Emi pouted.
Junhyung laughed. "She loves me more than you~" He teased.
"LIES! She loves me more!" Emi shouted.
"Hey! Why are you two shouting?" Alexander walked back into the ward carrying drinks.
"Eeks! Sorry!" Emi apologise and went to sit beside the bed.
"Where did you go?" Alexander asked Junhyung.
"Home, to get this." Junhyung waved the scrapbook infront of Alexander.
"Didn't she make this for you?"
"Yes, it's filled with our pictures, hopefully it will help!"
Alexander nodded. "Let's wait till she's awake."
"She will wake up once she's hungry. I know her." Emi laughed.

A few hours later, Rachel woke up to an empty room.
She sat up and saw Junhyung sleeping on the chair beside her, resting his head on her bed.
"Emi? Alexander?" Rachel called out. No one answered, but it woke Junhyung up.
"Oh, you're awake." Junhyung smiled.
"Yes." Rachel answered awkwardly.
"Uhm, well, you may not remember, but I'm your boyfriend, we have been dating for 4 days." Junhyung said.
"We have?"
"Yes, and you made me this during our anniversary." He reached out to take the book lying on the bedside table.
Rachel took the book gingerly. As she flip through the pages, her eyes began to widen.
"I remember some of this, but not all of it. I'm sorry." Rachel pushed the book back to Junhyung.
"You keep it, look at it when you feel like. I hope you remember everything soon." Junhyung forced a smile.
"I'm sorry that I cannot remember you. If you really are my boyfriend, this must be really hurting. I'm sorry." Rachel looked down.
"It's okay."

The next few weeks, Junhyung came everyday after work. Talking to Rachel. About her past, about everything they went through.
But she never remembered any of them. It was getting really frustrating for Junhyung.
"WHEN WILL SHE REGAIN HER MEMORY?" Junhyung complained to Alexander over dinner one night.
"Soon, I hope. You've been talking to her, I've been talking to her, Emi has been talking to her as well. She will regain her memory soon." Alexander answered as he swallowed his noodles.
Junhyung let out a sigh. "It's really frustrating. To have your girlfriend infront of you, yet she doesn't acknowledge you as her boyfriend."
"I know, Junhyung. I know."
They walked back to the ward in awkward silence. As soon as the door of the ward was flung open, Junhyung was knocked out of his breath.
He could hear Emi laughing. As he regain his senses, he realised it was Rachel who attacked him with a hug.
"You remember me?" Junhyung smiled.
"Yes! I'm sorry if the past few weeks has been really agonising for you. I'm really really sorry." Rachel mumbled as she buried her face in his neck.
"It's okay baby. At least you remember me now."

Fuckin' Perfect

"Why are your parents coming this weekend?! The wedding is next weekend!" Junhyung whined as he sat down in front of the door.
"Well, they have never been to Korea so they wanna come a week early to tour around." Minyoung explained while changing the bed sheets in the guest room.
"And why are they staying in your house when it's your sister getting married?" He complained again.
Minyoung glared at him in irritation. "Because Eunha doesn't have a guest room in her studio apartment! Quit complaining before I ignore you."
He pouted than did the zip sign on his lips, and gave Minyoung a weak smile.
Minyoung kneeled down beside him. "Make yourself useful and go order pizza for lunch, please?"
Minyoung placed both her hands on his cheeks before giving him a kiss.
"PIZZA?! OKAY! Yay! Be right back!" He yelled after the kiss.
Minyoung stood up and shook her head at how childish her boyfriend was, even though he's 2 years older than her. Her phone vibrated in her jeans pocket, giving her a shock.

"Hello?"
"Free today? I'm gonna go collect my wedding dress today, and I wanna choose your bridesmaid dress, no more dragging!" Eunha nagged.
"Fine fine, I'm free after I finish cleaning up the guest room for mom and dad. Than all I need is lunch and shower. So about 2 hours?" Minyoung blew her fringe out of her eyes.
"Hmm okay, we'll come pick you and Junnie up around 3?"
"Neh, see you later."

"Doojoon called." Junhyung said as he came back inside the room.
"Yup, Eunha called me as well, Guess I can't drag the choosing of dress any longer." Minyoung sighed.
"Why are you so against dresses anyways?" Junhyung asked.
"You know me, I'm more comfortable in shorts or jeans anyways."
"But you have to wear a dress on our wedding!" Junhyung demanded.
"And what if I don't?" Minyoung hugged Junhyung and teased.
"I will... uh... force you into a dress." He stuttered.
"That is not convincing at all baby." Minyoung laughed as she pecked him on the cheeks and walked back into the room.
"Hey, that was very convincing!" Junhyung protested as he followed her back into her room.
He flopped down on her bed, watching at her rummaging through her closet.
"What are you doing?"
"Taking my clothes? Can't you see?" Minyoung answered.
"For what though?"
"Bathe." She answered and walked to the bathroom, Junhyung followed her in.
She turned and pushed him out. "Alone."
"Why?!" He protested.
"Someone needs to pay for the pizza." She smirked and closed the door in his face.

---

"That dress is nice!" Eunha pointed to the white strapless dress.
"That is too revealing, I won't feel comfortable." Minyoung complained.
"Hey, look, Junnie isn't even complaining that it's too revealing, why are you?" The older girl reasoned.
"Why would he complain?! He's a pervert and he's not the one wearing this dress!" Minyoung turned to Junhyung who was smirking.
"Just choose one, so we can go for dinner, me and Doojoon are starving!" Junhyung nudged Minyoung.
"Tsk! Fine!" She pouted and grabbed the strapless dress off the rack and stomped off to the fitting room.
“Your turn.” Eunha turned to Junhyung.
He put his hands up as though warding Eunha off. “I already chose mine, so I’ll go try it now!” He stuck out his tongue and ran off.

“It looks good on you, Junnie!” Eunha and Doojoon gave a thumbs up to Junhyung, who was checking himself out in front of the mirror.
“I look good~” Junhyung praised himself and went to stand outside Minyoung’s fitting room.
“She will look fab.” Doojoon commented and Eunha nodded.
“I know she will.” Junhyung smiled and nodded as well.
“Than why are you so nervous?” Doojoon asked.
“It feels like my own wedding..” He answered with a weak smile.
“Propose to her soon. While my parents are here!” Eunha suggested.
“She’s a stubborn girl...”
“She’s my sister, and I know she loves you enough to agree after a little persuasion.” Eunha said.
“But-“ Junhyung was cut off with the sound of the curtain of the fitting room. He turned.
“Oh my holy...” Junhyung’s jaw dropped.
“Close your mouth, lover boy.” Doojoon laughed.
“See! You look gorgeous!” Eunha rushed forward to her little sister, who was trying to cover as much of her milky skin as possible with her hands.
“Yah! Yong Junhyung! What are you staring at?!” Minyoung pouted as her sister pulled both of her hands off her own body.
“I strongly believe he is having dirty thoughts about you right now.” Doojoon commented.
“No! I’m not!” Junhyung defended himself.
“One dirty thought about my sister, I will strangle you.” Eunha threatened.
“No no! I was just thinking how gorgeous she will be during our wedding.” Junhyung smiled.
“Our wedding?” Minyoung raised her eyebrows.
“Yes.” He smiled.
“My sister is so gorgeous!” Eunha hugged Minyoung before she could say anything.
“No I’m not, that scar on my back...” Minyoung reached for her back.
“Your hair is long enough to cover it. Don’t bother about it. You’re perfect.” Junhyung held on to both of her hands and kissed her foreheads while Doojoon and Eunha nodded in approval.
“Can we request for a photo to be taken? You two look perfect together.” The owner of the shop asked.
“W-what?!” Minyoung widen her eyes.
“Sure.” Junhyung smiled.
“Come this way please. I’m Yang Hye Rin, you can call me Rin.” The owner introduced herself as she showed them the way to get their makeup done.
“Why did you agree?” Minyoung whispered harshly.
“Relax, just take this as practice for the real thing alrights?” Junhyung laughed.
“What real thing?!”
“We will only need a few photos, it will be perfect to have one hanging at the entrance of the shop!” Hye Rin chirped.
“Okays.” Minyoung smiled back.

“Could you kiss her on the forehead like how you did outside the fitting room?” Hye Rin instructed Junhyung.
“1, 2, 3” The photographer snapped the picture.
“Perfect! Now, hmmm, how about both of your foreheads pressed together and you two look into each other’s eyes?” Hye rin suggested and both of them did as they were told.
As the photographer snapped away, Hye Rin turned to Eunha. “They have so much love for each other. Their eyes, they way they look at each other, so much love.”
“Yeah, he’s the only one that made her open up. And he loves her for all her flaws.” Eunha smiled.
“She’s very lucky, you too!” Hye Rin laughed.
“I guess we are.. thanks.”

“That photoshoot went smoother than ours!” Doojoon cheered.
“How is that even possible?” Minyoung rolled her eyes.
“Why is that not possible?” Eunha scrutinized Minyoung closely.
“I look horrible in pictures!” Minyoung shook her head.
“Nonsense! You were so perfect, even Hye Rin said so. She said you two had so much love for each other. I’m jealous.” Eunha reassured before shooting a glance at Doojoon’s shocked expression. “I’m just kidding baby.” Eunha smiled at Doojoon.
“Of cause you were.” Doojoon pouted while Junhyung roared with laughter.
“Whatever~ let’s go through the plan again. You and Junnie pick mom and dad up tomorrow, let them freshen up, and then we meet for dinner? Is that right?” Eunha asked Minyoung.
“Yeah. Dinner where?” Minyoung asked.
“I don’t know. We’ll decide that tomorrow. You need to borrow the car?”
“Nope, I’ll be driving tomorrow.” Junhyung said.
Eunha nodded. “If that’s all, we’re gonna head back, I still have loads to prepare.”
“Byeeeeee~” Minyoung waved cheerfully.
“You imp, being so happy when I’m leaving.” Eunha smack her sister’s head.
“Ouhh! “ Minyoung pouted as Junhyung hugged her.
Minyoung turned to her boyfriend as her older sister left.
“You staying over tonight?” She asked.
“I can’t sleep in the guest room anymore, can I?” Junhyung answered as his stirred his coffee.
“You can sleep with me tonight.” She said.
“Are you sure?!” He jerked up and stared at her.
“Yes. I’m sure. I hope my parents approve of you though.” She hasten to change the subject.
“They will love me, just like how their youngest daughter did.” Junhyung hugged her and laughed.
“Yeah! They will love you!” Minyoung laughed.
“Let’s go. I need to go home and get my stuff.” He stood up and reaches out his hand for her to take.
She smiled to herself as she took his hand.

“What actually happened to Minyoung?” Doojoon asked Eunha as they drove home.
“Well, before we came to Korea, and when she will still in high school, she had a boyfriend. Apparently she loved him a lot, so she was very blinded and oblivious to the fact that he was using her. For what? I don’t know either. But me and her best friend tried to talk to her about it, but she won’t listen to us.” Eunha explained.
“So that’s why you’re so protective of her?” Doojoon asked.
Eunha nodded. “Yes, so it hurt me a lot when I found bruises on her.”
“BRUISES?! HOLY CRAP! HE ABUSED HER?!” Doojoon shouted.
“Yeah, I think he’s some sick psycho. Her hands and neck were full of bruises. She refused to tell me who did it, till I found a bite mark on her shoulder that was bleeding. That day, I forced her to tell me who did it.” Eunha sighed.
“That scar on her back that she cares so much about ... is that bite mark?” Doojoon gulped
“Yup. I hate seeing my younger sister hurt, so I told Alexander, you know my older brother? He reported that to the police. He threatened her before he got arrested and such, and she never got over him, so my parent decided to send us here to study. Than we met the both of you.”
“I’m glad we met the both of you.” Doojoon smiled as he squeezed her hand.
“I’m glad Junhyung met her. I’m glad I met you too!” Eunha smiled.

Junhyung walked into this girlfriend’s room after his bath that night to see her sleeping on his side of the bed.
He smiled to himself before he walked over to the bed and carried her to her side gently.
“No!” Minyoung sat up suddenly, shocking Junhyung.
“What’s wrong, baby?” Junhyung stroked her fringe aside.
She just shook her head as tears started streaming down her cheeks.
Junhyung wiped the tears from her face. “What’s wrong?”
“I dreamt of him again.” She buried her face in his neck.
“Baby, it’s over, he isn’t here to hurt you anymore.” He smoothed her bed-hair.
“I know, but that dream was so realistic.”
“Nothing can hurt you as long as you’re mine.” Junhyung reassured.
“Don’t ever leave me.” She cried even harder.
“Hey! Whoever said I was intending to?” Junhyung lifted her chin.
“I’m never gonna leave you. Never. Even if you push me away, I’ll still come back to you. Okay? I love you.” Junhyung said softly and kissed her.

The next morning when Junhyung woke up, Minyoung wasn’t in bed anymore. Panic struck him but he relaxed as he smelled bacon.
“Morning baby.” He smiled as he walked into the kitchen and hugged her from the back.
“Morning.” She turned to give him a peck on his cheek. “Go wash up, breakfast will be ready soon!”
“You’re actually cooking. I’m surprised.” Junhyung raised one eyebrow.
“Hey! It’s only for you, and my parents when they are here okay!” Minyoung pouted.
Junhyung nodded. “For that, I’m very touched.”
“Now, go wash up!” Minyoung pushed Junhyung out.
As Junhyung walked out, she sighed. She told herself she will not let the dream affect her. It was all over. As she thought about it, she subconsciously reached to touch her scar.

[FLASHBACK]

“What are you doing?” Rachel asked her boyfriend, Dec, as he nibbled on her neck.
“Nothing.” Came the reply.
“Come on, don’t play, you little vampire.”
“Vampire?” Dec asked before biting her on her shoulders.
Rachel screamed in pain and hit Dec hard on the chest, but he did not budge.
“It hurts!” Rachel cried.
“You called me a vampire, I’m just proving it to you.” Dec smiled.
“You didn’t have to bite that hard! It hurts.”
“I had to get my point across.” Dec turned away.
“Forget it, I’m going home.” Rachel said as she picked up her bag from his bed.
She slung it across her shoulders and winced in pain.

“I’m home!” Rachel yelled as she walked through the front door.
“Were you at Dec’s hou- OH MY GOD! WHY ARE YOU BLEEDING?!” Emi yelled.
“It’s nothing, I scratched myself against the hooks in the school’s locker room.” Rachel brushed her older sister’s hand aside.
“It doesn’t look like a scratch! Did he bite you?”
“You’re crazy.” Rachel pulled a face.
“You’re coming with me!” Emi dragged Rachel to their brother’s room.
“And you’re not leaving this room till you tell me who did it!” Emi locked the door.
“What? I told you, a scratch!”
“A scratch? I’m pretty sure hooks do not have teeth.”
“Well then, I got bloodthirsty.” Rachel rolled her eyes.
“Rachel Gilbert, do not lie to me.” Emi threatened.
“Really, I bit myself.”
“Oh really? Your mouth must be extendable than. Show me.”
“You’re crazy.”
“Stop calling me crazy when you’re the crazy one right now! You’re dating a cannibal!” Emi yelled.
“He isn’t a cannibal!” Rachel yelled back.
“Oh really? That what’s the reason for him biting you?” Emi folded her arms.
“Who ever told you he was the one that bite me?”
“It is pretty obvious isn’t it?”
“I don’t have time to deal with this shit. I have to do my homework” Rachel tried to shove Emi aside.
“Fine, where were you this whole afternoon?”
“At Adeline’s house. Doing my work.” Rachel answered.
“Oh really? But Adeline is in your room right now, waiting for you.” Emi raised her eyebrows.
“FINE, I WAS AT DEC’S HOUSE. YOU HAPPY NOW?!” Rachel shouted.
“No, I’m not. He bit you till you bleed. That isn’t normal! I’m telling Alexander!” Emi shook her head as she opened the door.

“Your bacon is burning, honey.” Junhyung’s voice jerked Minyoung out of her flashback.
“OHSHI-“ Minyoung began to curse.
“No cursing please.” Junhyung said simply and sat down. “What were you thinking of?”
“Nah, I was thinking of my parents. I haven’t seen them for years.” Minyoung smiled.
“Ohyeah, what time is their flight again.” Junhyung asked.
“They are arriving at 2pm. Why?”
“Nothing, I need to go run an errand, then I’ll come back and pick you to go to the airport alrights?”
“Want me to come along with you?” Minyoung asked as she put the bacon on his plate.
“It’s okay. I’ll give you some alone time!” Junhyung laughed.
“Yong Junhyung, what are you up to?” Minyoung demanded.
“I told you, I have errands to run. Oh! Look at the time! I’ll go now!” Junhyung finished his bacon, gave Minyoung a kiss and ran out of the house.
“Aish! This man!”

“Where ar- Oh! Mummy!” Minyoung ran towards an attractive blond with a stern looking man beside.
“Hey baby.” Minyoung’s mother kissed her hair.
“Mummy, daddy, this is my boyfriend, Junhyung.” She introduced in English. Junhyung looked confused.
“I just introduced you to my parents. In English.” Minyoung explained.
“Rachel dear, me and your mom can speak Korean.” Minyoung’s dad smiled.
“EH?!” Her eyes widened.
“We took lessons.” Her mom said.
“Where’s Emi? She’s supposed to be here hugging us as well!” Her dad joked.
“Oh, she’s busy, we are meeting her later for dinner.” Minyoung clapped.
“Neh, we’ll go back to Minyoung’s house to freshen up first.” Junhyung said respectfully.
“Yes! Let’s go!” Minyoung grabbed her mother’s hand and walked ahead.
“So you’re the guy I keep hearing about?” Minyoung’s father asked.
“I guess so...” Junhyung smiled as he took their luggage.
“Thanks for making my baby smile again.” He patted Junhyung on the back.
“Yeah... about that... I was planning to propose to her this week. Or after Eunha’s wedding.” Junhyung said nervously.
“Good! Very good! Go ahead! I approve!” Minyoung’s father laughed.

The whole of next week passed in a blur. Minyoung and Junhyung were out the whole week bringing Minyoung’s parents around. Eunha and Doojoon were busy preparing for their wedding.

On Thursday night, after Minyoung’s parents went to bed, Junhyung flopped down on his girlfriend’s bed.
“Damn. I’m dead tired.” He complained.
“I know right?!” She lay down beside him.
He turned to hug her. “2 more days to the wedding. It’s gonna get even more tiring.”
“Don’t even remind me. I have to be at Eunha’s house tomorrow night and you have to be at Doo’s place.” Minyoung groaned.
“Yupp. Let’s go take a stroll at the park now, alrights?” Junhyung asked.
“Now?! It’s 11.30pm!”
“I know.” Junhyung smiled and pulled her up.

“You know how cold it is?” Minyoung grumbled.
“Mianhae.” Junhyung apologised and took off his colourful hoodie and put it on her shoulder.
“There better be a good reason why you drag me out so late.” She pouted.
“Oh there is, trust me.” Junhyung smiled and kissed her hair.
“This place is so dark and creepy at night.”
“Nothing to worry when your boyfriend is here!”
Minyoung rolled her eyes and laughed.
“Let’s sit here.” Junhyung led her to a bench.
As soon as she sat down, someone blindfolded her.
“Hey! What are you up to! Yah! Yong Junhyung!” Minyoung screamed.
“Chill siz.” She heard Eunha whispered.
“Emi? EMI GILBERT!” Minyoung screamed her English name.
“Aish this girl, stop screaming!” Another voice. Doojoon’s.
“What are you doing?” She fumbled with the blindfold.
“It’s a surprise. You can take it off after Junnie says so.” Eunha slapped her hands away.
“I’m sorry baby, for scaring you like that, but bear with me kays?” She heard Junhyung say.
“Okay, you can remove your blindfold now.” Junhyung said and Minyoung slowly took it off.
She gasped. Junhyung kneeling in front of her, with a bouquet of purple roses in one hand and sparklers on the other.
“W-what?” She gasped again as Junhyung gave her the bouquet. As he shifted his position, she realised that behind him was a heart made out of many candles.
“Did you do that?” Minyoung asked.
“Yes, only for you. Now check the pocket of my hoodie.”
She reached into the pocket and pulled out a ring. A diamond ring to be exact.
“A DIAMOND RING?!”
“Will you marry me?” Junhyung tilted her chin up and he looked into her eyes.
“Junnie....
“I know what you’re gonna say, and I’m telling you, I love you for your flaws, I love you at your worst, I love you for who you are. You may think you’re not good enough, for to me, you’re fucking prefect. Each and every scar on you shows me that you’re a strong woman. Each and every tear you shed shows me your sensitive side. Each and every hug you give me tells me you love me. And I’m not gonna let all that go.” Junhyung hugged her.
“I...”
“Even if you say no today, I’ll wait. And I will keep trying. Just know that I’ll never let you go.”
“I’ll give you an answer after Eunha’s wedding. Okay?”
“Of cause it’s okay.” Junhyung smiled.
“I love you.” Minyoung mumbled against his chest.
Junhyung grinned, knowing he has won half the battle.
“Let’s go back.” Junhyung pulled away and started putting out all the candles.
“Your hoodie.” Minyoung said as she started to take it off.
“No, you wear it alrights? I’m giving it to you.” Junhyung smiled.
“But this is your favourite!”
“This is why I’m giving it to you. What’s better than to give my favourite hoodie to my favourite girl?”
“Really? I’m gonna sleep in it!” Minyoung laughed.
“Go ahead.” Junhyung laughed and led them away from the park.

“So.. how was yesterday?” Eunha asked as soon as Minyoung reached her house.
“I told him I’ll give an answer after your wedding.”
“Why?!” Someone else asked.
Minyoung peered over her sister’s shoulder.
“Adeline!” She ran over to tackle the girl in a hug.
“Girl. Chill.”
“I so fucking miss you! Oh my god! You idiot! Do you know there’s this invention called a phone? Couldn’t you have called me?!” Minyoung yelled.
“Girl! I’ll be deaf soon! Sorry I’ve been busy lately okay?” Adeline hugged Minyoung.
“Damn you. And you couldn’t have told me you’re coming!” Minyoung looked at Adeline than at Eunha who shrugged.
“I didn’t know as well, she told me she might not be able to make it for the wedding. Imagine my shock when she called me this morning telling me to pick her up at the airport.” Eunha laughed.
“OHYEAH?? You didn’t tell me when I called you this afternoon!” Minyoung jumped at Eunha.
“It’s a surprise.”
“So... how is this Junhyung treating you?” Adeline asked.
“The same.”
“And by the same... you mean... good or bad?”
“Good. Too good actually. I’m not good enough for him.” Minyoung shrugged.
“What are you talking about?” Eunha whacked her head.
“I’m not good enough.”
“I wanna slap some sense into you.” Adeline groaned in frustration.
“I... ugh. He really loves you, do you know that?” Eunha said.
“I know.”
“He even talked to Mom and Dad.”
“WHAT?!” Minyoung jumped off the sofa.
“He told daddy he wanted to marry you. And daddy approved!” Eunha explained.
“And may I ask how did you know that?”
“Daddy told me? Duh.” Eunha smiled.
“Aish!”
“Go to bed early, it’s a long day tomorrow.” Eunha chased them to her room.

“Go get changed!” The girls’ mother nagged.
“Argh.” Minyoung dragged herself up from the floor.
“Mummy, why are you here?” Eunha bury herself under her blanket.
“Yo! The bride cannot be lazy!” Adeline pulled her blanket off.
“Exactly! Daddy, Doojoon and Junhyung is already at the church!” Minyoung popped her at the door with the toothbrush in her mouth.
“How do you know?” Eunha rubbed her eyes.
“Junhyung. Duh.”
After an hour of changing and makeup, Adeline and the sisters’ mother looked at the two girls.
“My babies are so gorgeous!” Their mother pinched Minyoung’s cheek.
“Mummy! Don’t pinch my cheeks!” Minyoung struggled and protested.

“They are on their way.” Junhyung informed the groom.
“How do you know?” Doojoon looked up.
“Minyoung. Duh.”
“Right...”
“You nervous?” Junhyung sat down beside Doojoon.
“Abit.” Doojoon admitted.
“Don’t be!” Junhyung smiled and patted Doojoon on the back.
“I’ll be saying this back to you when you get married.” Doojoon turned.
“Whatever.”
“Dude, congrats!” Doojoon’s best friends entered the room.
“Yo, Yoseob, Kikwang, Dongwoon, Hyunseung! Glad you guys could make it.” Doojoon stood up to hug them all.
The 5 of them turned to look at Junhyung, who was squatting down, talking on the phone and smiling.
“Minyoung.” The 5 said in unison.
Junhyung looked up and smiled sheepishly.
“See you soon. Love you.” He said and hang up.
“What?”
“Oh. Nothing...” Yoseob raised his eyebrows.
“Dude, propose to her yet?” If not, I’m gonna make my move!” Hyunseung joked.
“Hey! And yeah, I did. She told me she’ll give me an answer after this wedding.”
“Does that mean no chance?” Hyunseung pouted as Yoseob gave him a punch on the shoulder on his way out.
“Jang Hyun Seung!” Go find your own!” Junhyung yelled as the others laughed.
“They’re here! Doojoon, you’re not allowed to see the bride so stay here!” Yoseob came running.
“But-“
“No buts, shut up and stay here.” Dongwoon laughed and they ran off.

“Hey, you look gorgeous.” Junhyung hugged Minyoung.
“Thanks. This is Adeline, my best friend.” Minyoung introduced. Adeline waved to them.
“And this is Junhyung, Hyunseung, Yoseob, Kikwang and Dongwoon. You’ll be paired up with Hyunseung. Which means you’re standing behind me, and Hyunseung will be standing behind Junhyung. Minyoung said.
“Okays!” Minyoung and Hyunseung smiled.

----

Junhyung nudged Minyoung. “What?” She turned.
“It’s after the wedding.” He smiled.
“Oh..”
“Can all the single ladies gather here please, I’m gonna make Eunha throw the bouquet!” Adeline shouted.
“I’ll talk to you later.” Minyoung turned to walk away.
“You’re not single!” Junhyung yelled.
“I’m not married.” Minyoung smiled cheekily as she skipped to Adeline’s side.
“Aish that girl.” Junhyung gritted his teeth.
“What’s wrong with you?” Yoseob appeared.
“Nothing.” Junhyung answered.
“.... Oh!” Yoseob followed Junhyung’s gaze.
“Shut up.”

Eunha giggled as she turned her back on her friends.
“Ready girls?” She yelled.
“Get on with it.” Minyoung answered.
“Okay, here goes.” Eunha closed her eyes, and threw the bouquet of flowers back.
As planned by Adeline and Eunha earlier, the rest of the girls moved away, leaving Minyoung the only person standing there.
“Hey!” Minyoung looked confused for a moment, before the bouquet landed in her arms.

“Now will you marry me?” Junhyung walked up.
Minyoung glanced around and saw everyone looking at her. Her dad was nodding encouragingly.
She smiled. “Yes, I will.”
Junhyung whooped before lifting her off her feet in a hug.

Internal Beauty Chapter 13

"Ya coming back for dinner?" Maggie called Steffi.
"Yup, as a matter of fact, I'm already on my way back." Steffi answered.
"Alrights, cause on this rare occasion, Ayu and Audrey is actually home." Maggie laughed.

---

"Thanks for sending me home." Steffi said as she turned to Changmin.
"No problem. See you tomorrow?" Changmin pecked her on the forehead.
"Sure. Bye."

"Spill." Steffi turned to see Rachel leaning on the door with narrowed eyes and a small smile.
"Oh. You saw that." She pointed to the fading back of Changmin.
"Yes I saw that. Spill."
"We're dating now?" Steffi gave a weak smile.
"I KNEW IT! And you're not gonna use me to tell him we are vampires alrights." Rachel joked.
Steffi frowned. "I forgot about that."
"Aigoo." Rachel shook her head. "Worry about that later. They are waiting for you to start dinner." She dragged Steffi in.
"Have you told Ayu about you being pregnant?" Steffi asked as they walked back to the dining area.
"Nopes. I'm planning to tell her later. I don't even know what she will do. Protective sister." Rachel pouted.
"I'm sure she will be okay with it, she loves kids!" Steffi said.
"I hope so man." Rachel laughed and linked arms with Steffi.

"Audrey! Ayu! I miss you girls! Haha, how long haven't I seen you girls?!" Steffi exclaimed as soon as she stepped into the dining area.
"You're overreacting, it hasn't been that long. About a week or so?" Ayu laughed.
"That is very long, I'm so used to seeing you everyday!" Steffi pouted.
"Oh I'm sorry if I actually care about the upcoming test." Ayu said sarcasticly. Steffi stuck out her tongue.
"And you? Your reason?" Rachel turned to Audrey.
"I'm helping Hyungjun on his studies." Audrey answered, mouth stuffed with food.
Rachel frowned. "Studies... or biology?" Rachel grinned, and everyone laughed.
"HEY! DIRTY!" Audrey swallowed her food and pouted.
"I just said biology, but seeing you two don't take biology as a subject in school......." Rachel trailed off.
"Kay, let's just eat..." Rachel smiled and sat down beside Kibum.

"Rachel, did you gain weight?" Ayu asked randomly.
"What?!" Rachel gasped.
"You look.... bigger. For some reason I can't put my finger on." Ayu stared at Rachel intensely, making her very uncomfortable.
"I told you I look fat!" Rachel hit Kibum.
"She didn't gain weight, she just got pregnant, that's all." Kibum said.
Both Audrey and Ayu dropped their jaws.
"When?!" Both exclaimed at the same time.
"I found out only 2 days ago." Rachel said, not wanting to meet anybody's eyes.
"Does that mean we'll have vampire kids running around here?" Audrey asked.
"I guess so?" Emi answered.
"I guess I'm fine with that, and any other news I should catch up on?" Ayu looked around.
"Wanie changed Alexander." Steffi pointed to Wanie.
"Steffi's dating Changmin!" Rachel said excitedly.
"Maggie is gonna change Siwon!" Emi laughed.
"You sound like a bunch of kids complaining to their mother." Kibum laughed, amused.
"She does act like our mother... most of the time." Emi grinned, earning a hit on her shoulder from Ayu.
"Respect!" Ayu said with a stern look.
"What is that?!" Emi joked and ran off to hide behind Steffi.
"You girls... are really like my kids." Ayu shook her head, and everyone laughed.

---

That night Ayu was on the phone with Kevin.
"So.. Are we like dating now?" Kevin asked.
"I.. don't know. You never said anything." Ayu said softly, afraid of waking Audrey up.
"Oh.." Kevin mumbled and Ayu heard someone shouting in the background.
"I gotta go, text you later." Kevin said hurriedly and hung up.
Ayu sighed and flopped down on her bed and closed her eyes.

Her phone vibrated in her hands and sat up.
She read the text message and smiled to herself.

'I never said anything before, so I'll say it now. I liked you the moment you came into school. Out of all of your sisters, I liked you best. Why? You are quiet and calm, unlike them. I prefer girls like you, being calm. And actually study. HAHA. So I really hope you can give me a chance.'

She smiled to herself for the next 10 minutes before attempting to reply.
That night, she went to bed with a smile on her face.

"Are you okayyy?" Audrey woke her up the next morning for school.
".. huh? Why would I not be okay?" Ayu said groggily.
"You are smiling to yourself. That is just weird." Audrey walked to their dressing table.
"Wanna know the reason why I'm smiling?" Ayu sat up in bed, suddenly very awake.
"Why?"
"Me and Kevin are together now!" Ayu squealed.
"REALLY?! CONGRATS! Though you are last among us to get a boyfriend." Audrey teased.
"Hey! It's called slow paced." Ayu smiled.
"Right.. slow paced." Audrey grinned and left the room.

Ayu got up and slowly walked to the bathroom to prepare, not before getting attacked by Emi.
"Dating Kevin now, aren't you?" Emi smiled.
"News sure does spread fast in this house." Ayu raised her eyebrows.
"Of cause! Which is why there is no secrets in this house!"
"And you girls ask me why I avoid you girls all the time?" Ayu laughed.
"I'm pretty sure that isn't the real reason." Emi held on to Ayu as she walked.
"Sure. Now let me go, so I can prepare for school." Ayu turned to Emi.
"Have fun at school!"
"Can you at least pretend to like school?" Ayu asked.
Emi turned. "No, it's kinda hard." Emi answered.

---

[Weeks later]

The boys were sitteed in the sisters' living room.
"WAIT... hold on a sec.. YOU ALL CHANGED PAINLESSLY?!" Rachel demanded to know.
The 6 boys nodded.
"WHY DIDNT ANYONE TELL ME THIS METHOD?!" Rachel threw a hissy fit.
They all turned to look at Kibum.
"What? Don't look at me." Kibum protested.
"I watched my boyfriend go through hours of hell! WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS WORLD!" Rachel mumbled as she stormed to her room.
"Okay. Her hissy fit is scary." Siwon commented.
"Yeah." Kibum agreed and ran after her.

Kibum opened the door to their room to see Rachel playing with the twins.
"You okay?" He walked over to give her a hug.
"I'm fine. Really." Rachel smiled.
"I got changed first, so no one really knew of this method. so..."
"I know. Let's bring this two downstairs." Rachel picked up Chaerin and Jiyong.
Kibum smiled.

Jiyong ran down the stairs into the arms of Wanie.
"Aigo, look at our little Jiyong, grown so much in one day!" Wanie cooed as Steffi and Emi went over to play with Jiyong.
"Chaerin ah~ so pretty." Rachel let Ayu carried her.
Kibum sat down beside Kevin.
"Have you proposed?" Kevin turned to ask Kibum.
"Eh? No. You?"
"No. Soon!" Kevin laughed.
"We propose to them at the same time?" Kibum whispered.
"Oh my, you have the best ideas sometimes. I'll go tell the rest!" Kevin laughed and went over to Eli and Siwon.

"Why are you guys smiling like that?" Steffi raised her eyebrows.
"Yeah. Stop creeping us out." Emi frowned.
"They are up to something." Audrey commented.

The 7 boys got to their knees.
"EH!?"
"Will you marry me?" The 7 of them said in unison.
"AH WAE?!" Emi said, in shock.
"Just shut up and answer us." Kibum said.
"RUDE." Rachel pouted.
"Mummy, say yes." Jiyong pulled on Rachel's skirt.
The 7 girls look at Jiyong and laughed.
"Yes."

Mine - Part 2

"miss me?" Marcus asked.
"I'm dreaming. I'm dreaming." Rachel closed her eyes and stepped backwards.
"No, you're not." She opened her eyes, and Junhyung stood infront of her.
"What do you want from me?!" Rachel screamed as Junhyung grabbed her wrist.
"Remember my promise?" Marcus smirked.
"No, get away from me. Give me back my boyfriend!"Rachel tried to wrench free.
"I promised I will be with you for eternity, I promised you I will be with you no matter what. I'm keeping those promises." Marcus said, still not letting go.
"Don't be crazy! Let me go!" Rachel struggled.
"I can't let you go, not even in death..."
"You're dead, I'm still alive. We can't be together. If you really love me, you would want me to be happy. I'm happy with Junhyung now." Rachel said, sobbing now.
"I can't let you do that, you belong to me and me alone." Marcus dragged her out of the kitchen.
"Where are you bringing me?! Let me go!!" She screamed, hoping her neighbours would hear and come over to help.

He kept quiet and dragged her to her room. Tightening his grip on her wrist with his left hand, he dragged her chair and rummaged through the box that was left on the floor.
He found what he was looking for, a rope.
"Sit." Rachel refused.
"SIT!" He shouted and pushed Rachel onto the chair.
"Why are you doing this? None of this is real right? You're Junhyung right? This is just a prank right?" Rachel look at Marcus with hopeful eyes.
"You'll never be with Junhyung again." He simply answered.
He took the rope and tied her tightly to the chair.
"Let me go, please. I beg you." She begged him, but he pretended he didn't hear.
After he was done tying, he sat down on her bed.

"I miss your bed. I miss your room. I miss you." He glanced around the room, and stopped his gaze at a photo frame on her bedside table. A picture of Junhyung kissing her on her birthday.
He clenched his fist and threw the photo frame across the room.
"When you left me, I was so broken. We promised each other eternity, didnt we?" Marcus said slowly.
"Things changed. You became so possessive that it's scary. I can't live with that!" Rachel explained.
"You don't know how hurt I was. I begged you to stay, I promised I would change, but you still left."
"YOU WERE A STALKER!"
"Only because I love you too much."
"Loving someone isn't the reason to stalk them. You had mental problem, you needed to be treated. But you decided to end your own life!"
Marcus stood in front her.

"You know why I wanted to end my life?" He asked softly. She could feel his breath on cheeks.
"Life wasn't worthwhile without you."
"Than why bother coming back to haunt me, and possess Junhyung?!" Rachel demanded to know.
"I didnt want to hurt anybody, really. I just wanted to watch you from afar. Which is why I have bit of my soul in that picture frame."
"You're sick, really." Rachel spat out, in disgust.
"I was fine with you dating him, but when I found out he was gonna propose to you tonight, that was it, I had to stop this."
Rachel looked up at him in disbelief. This man standing in front of her, was her loving boyfriend, Yong Junhyung. But the soul within, was her ex boyfriend, Marcus Salvatore.

"This is some serious mind fuck." She cursed.
"It will end soon." Marcus promised.
"Yeah, get out of my boyfriend's body, leave and all is well."
"It won't be that simple, honey." He tried to kiss, but she turned her head away.
He stood up straight and went over to her desk. He picked up something.
"What are you doing with my penknife?"
"Blood." He smiled and walked over to her.
He untied her right hand, and lifted it up. Lowering the blade on her skin, she screamed in pain as he carved his name into her skin, blood oozing out from the wounds.
"Marcus, what are you doing? Marcus... It hurts, stop..." She cried.
"No, this is something for you to remember me by." He said as he untied the rope, lifting her left hand.
On that hand, he carved the words "Eternity. 160606." Eternity is the promise they hold, and the number symbolizing the date they got together. 16 June of 2006.

"You know I lose blood quickly, why are you doing this?" She asked, hysterical.
"We can't be together if you're not dead." He said.
"I don't want to die!" She yelled.
"Too late." He smirked as he leaned back on her bed, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

2 hours later, he woke up to see a very pale Rachel.
"How do you feel?" Marcus smirked.
Rachel managed to lift her arms up to show him the middle finger.
"Feisty. You're dying, and you know it." He smiled.
"S-hu-t... up!"
"To tell you the truth, I didn't do all this because I still love you. I did this because I wanted revenge. You hurt me so badly, I couldn't think straight and I committed suicide." He squat down beside her.
"Fu-ck... you."
"Whatever, bitch." He stood up and walked out of the room to roam around the house, one last time.

"I did like this place." He said out loud and sighed before heading back to Rachel's room.
She was laying motionlessly on the floor, her last desperate attempt to escape before she fell dead.
Marcus squatted next to her body, swiping her fringe behind her ears, than kissing her forehead.
"I love you."

---

Junhyung groaned as he sat up in bed with a terrible headache.
He raised his hand to support his head when he felt a sharp pain on his palm. He removed his hand and looked at it in shock.
A cut. He tried to remember how he got it.
"Oh my god, where is Rachel?!" He said out. He swing his legs out and stood up, noticing the broken photo frame across the room, he began walking towards it.
Blood.
He turned his head, and he saw Rachel laying on the floor.
"Rachel!" He kneeled down and hugged her to his body.
"Answer me.. Baby, answer me." He begged. He saw the carvings on her arms, and he clenched his fist in anger.
He looked up, took a deep breath. "Marcus, are you happy now? I swore to be with her no matter what, now she's dead, I don't see the point in me living as well."
With the never ending flow of tears flowing down his cheeks, he picked up the penknife left on the floor, stained with Rachel's blood.
The blade of the penknife sliced through his skin, and through his veins in his wrist. It hurt, but nothing would hurt more than killing his own girlfriend.
"I love you, I love you, I love you." He kept saying that three words over and over again, till he couldn't anymore.

Internal Beauty Chapter 12

That night Kibum returned to see Steffi, Emi, Maggie and Wanie sitting in the living room.
"Hi girls! Why the gloomy atmosphere?!" Kibum waved to the 4 of them cheerfully.
"Your girlfriend's ex boyfriend paid her a visit." Steffi frowned at Kibum's cheerfulness.
"Did he do anything to her?!"
"Nahs, but when I called her, she was crying very hard, so I rushed back, and made her sleep." Steffi shook her head.
Kibum nodded and ran up the stairs.

"Shouldn't we do something about this? Jungmin is shit persistant." Maggie grumbled.
"Let's look him up, and tell him and the others to stop bothering us." Emi suggested.
"Good idea. How are we gonna track him?" Wanie raised her eyebrow.
"Senses, baby." Emi smiled and the others nodded in understanding.
"We getting Audrey and Ayu in this?" Maggie sat up.
"If we can even find them today." Steffi rolled her eyes. "That two are never around, ever since Audrey got together with Hyungjun and Ayu studying with Kevin..."

"Hey, baby, you okay?" Kibum opened the door slowly. Rachel sat up in bed and rushed to hug him.
"I hate him. So much." She sobbed into his shoulder.
"I know. Don't cry. Please." Kibum smoothed her hair.
"I don't ever wanna see him again, he ruined my life, like how I ruined yours!"
"No.. shhsss. You didn't ruin my life. I chose this." Kibum comforted her. Hearing the door creaked open, he saw Maggie peeking. He motioned for her to come in.
Maggie opened the door wider and slipped in. She hugged Rachel as well.

"Jungmin isn't worth all this hate and pain, dear. Come on, stop crying." Maggie whispered. Rachel looked up.
"You're right." She said to Maggie. "Do you think you have an erasing memory kind of power?" She turned to Kibum.
"What?! No. Even if I do, I won't do it. Do you want to forget all of us?" Kibum scolded her.
"No...."
"Just leave her alone man, she's pregnant, she has mood swings. And she's probably thirsty." Emi came into the room.
"Right! The bottle of blood! I forgot to give it to her!" Kibum remembered and picked up the bottle of blood on the bed.
"So.. she was alone in the house, cause you went to get this?" Emi asked.
"She wanted to hunt, but I wasn't gonna let her hunt, she's pregnant, so I went to hunt for her." Kibum answered.
"True. But you could have called one of us home so that this won't happen." Emi reasoned.
"How was I to know Jungmin will decide to pay her a lovely visit today?" Kibum snapped.
"Life is unpredictable dude, he can drop by anytime, and he is extremely violent, he could have hurt her!" Emi yelled.
"GUYS!" Maggie stopped the both of them.
"Sorry." Emi mumbled, but continued glaring at Kibum.
"This is my fault, if I didn't freak out, nothing would have happened, I could have treated his visit as any other day, him as any one else. But I had to cry, freak out and stuff. It's all my fault." Rachel spoke up.
Maggie rolled her eyes and both Emi and Kibum, giving the 'See-What-Now' look, than proceeded to hug Rachel.
"No, it's not your fault, if it was any of us, we would have freaked out too."

"That is it, we need to stop Jungmin and the royal pain in the ass from coming back." Maggie flopped down on the couch next to Steffi.
"Why? What's wrong?" Steffi looked at Wanie than at Maggie.
"She's hysterical. Or at least on the inside. And she's blaming herself for ruining Kibum's life. Emi and Kibum argued, blahblahblah." Maggie explained.
"Her sensitivity level went up a notch, thanks to her pregnancy." Wanie commented.
"True. That's another 9 days to endure?" Steffi shook her head.
"Yeah, 9 days. Than we have to deal with children running round the house." Maggie sighed.
"I love kids. So it doesn't matter." Steffi smiled.
"Same here. Anyways, talk to you guys later tonight, heading out to meet Alexander." Wanie waved and left.
"Was that Wanie I hear leaving?" Emi came down the stairs.
"How is Rachel?" Maggie asked.
"sleeping. Kibum's with her. Wanie left?"
"Yup, she's meeting Alexander." Steffi answered.
"We haven't even plan our schedule for tomorrow!!" Emi freaked.
"Schedule?" Maggie raised her eyebrow.
"Well... I mean.. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!" Emi raised both her hands in defeat.
"Yeah, we know what you mean. But it was funny when you said schedule, we sound like some celeb." Steffi giggled.
"Yeah yeah, maybe we are!" Emi sat down beside Steffi and the 3 of them started laughing.

---

"You sure this is the place?" Wanie asked as they stood outside the most expensive looking apartment downtown.
"Yeah. This is the place." Emi nodded.
"Let's go." Maggie walked ahead of them.

Kyujong opened the door a few seconds after they rang the doorbell.
"Where is Jungmin?" Steffi demanded to know. Kyujong stuck his head out and look around.
"Where is Audrey?" He asked.
"Erh hello, we asked you a question first?" Wanie waved her hands in front of his face.
"He's in his room, where is Audrey?" He asked again.
"Out with her boyfriend. Let us in. We need to talk to Jungmin.. and the rest of you princes." Maggie said with her hands on her hips.
"Come in." He moved aside for them to walk in. "JUNGMIN! THE GIRLS ARE HERE!" Kyujong yelled.
Jungmin appeared, looking surprise.
"Why are you 4 here?" Jungmin asked.
"To talk to you, and the rest. Where are the rest?"
"Not in, only me and Kyujong."
"Fine, than we'll talk to the both of you first." Wanie gestured for them to sit down.
"Let me guess, this is about Rachel, right?" Jungmin asked.
"Yes, and we're telling you nicely to leave her and the rest of us alone." Maggie said slowly.
"What did you do man?" Kyujong looked at Jungmin. He just waved him off.
"Your brother here, he has violence issues. Rachel is pregnant, he can't just come and visit as and when he likes and traumatize her like that." Emi said.
"WHAT?!" Kyujong looked at Jungmin again.
"I do not have violence issues. I do not!" Jungmin defended himself.
"You threw her across the room a few months back! THAT, my friend, is called violence." Maggie pointed that out.
"Well, that..."
"Whatever it is, what happened 200 years ago, doesn't apply now. We have our own lives now, leave Rachel alone, leave all of us alone. We don't need your protection from whatever vampire hunters. We are fully capable of protecting ourselves." Steffi said.
"And just saying this, but Rachel is getting married, so Jungmin, throw whatever wish you have to gain her back into the wind. You're never getting her back." Emi smirked.
"Pass the message on to your other brothers will ya? Thanks." Wanie walked out of the apartment, making the others follow her.
"Dude, you threw your ex girlfriend across the room?!" Kyujong stared at Jungmin in disbelief.
"Whatever."

---

"Congratulations, you're expecting twins!" The doctor told Rachel and Kibum. "A boy and a girl!"
"TWINS?!" Kibum exclaimed and Rachel looked like she was on the verge of fainting.

Steffi, Wanie, Emi and Maggie met the to-be-parents outside the hospital.
"What's wrong with her?" Steffi jabbed her thumb towards Rachel, who was looking really pale.
"Doctor said she was expecting twins." Kibum explained.
"TWINS?!" Emi said excitedly. "This twins genes really runs in the family!"
"Twins, Ems, TWINS! The pain. Ugh!" Rachel complained.
"You're upset cause of the pain?!" Maggie laughed.
"Duh, WHY DON'T YOU TRY?!" Rachel pouted.
"Aigoo, my little sister." Emi pinched Rachel's cheek, who yelped in pain.
"So is it a both boys or what?" Steffi asked.
"One boy and one girl." Kibum smiled.
"CHOOSE THE NAMES ALREADY?!" Wanie asked.
"Decided to name the girl, Eunha. Boy.. maybe.. Junhyung?" Rachel looked lost in thought.
"Nice!"

---

"Steffi? What you guys doing here?"
"Oh hi Changmin!" Kibum waved.
"Hey Kibum, what you doing here?" He asked again.
"Rachel's coming for a check up." Steffi answered. "What about you?"
"Coming to visit a friend? What's wrong with Rachel?" He looked at Rachel, who looked fine now.
"She's pregnant." Maggie simply said.
"DUDE! IS THAT WHY YOU STOPPED COMING TO SCHOOL?!" Changmin patted Kibum on his shoulder, who just smiled.
"Alrights, I gotta go, Steffi want go grab a bite with me?" Changmin looked at Steffi hopefully.
"Sure!" She smiled sweetly, making Emi and Maggie snorting with laughter at the back.
"See you back at home." Rachel said to Steffi and pulled Kibum out with her.

"Kibum never told any of us that Rachel was pregnant." Changmin pouted.
"He only found out yesterday, maybe he wants to wait till it's confirm before telling the guys." Steffi said, laughing.
"At least I found out earlier than the rest!" Changmin whooped.
"Yupp, you did." Steffi laughed at Changmin.
"Oh by the way, someone in school has a crush on you. Did you know?" Changmin asked nervously.
"Nopes, I don't really bother. I don't even talk to anyone in school except my sisters and you guys."
"Oh, just telling you, there is." Changmin laughed nervously.
"Really? Haha, ask him to come talk to me?" Steffi said.
"The person already is." Changmin mumbled, thinking Steffi won't be able to hear.
"You?"
"What?"
"You're the one?"

MINE - Part 1

The boy looked up at the house where his girlfriend stayed alone.
He never understood how she could stay in that old and haunted looking house. It gives him the creeps whenever he went over.
He gulped and walked up to the door.
Before he got his hand to knock on the door, it swung open and the next thing he knew he was getting attacked by hugs and kisses.

"Hey." He laughed.
"Hi." The girl smiled and kissed him.
"Why the excitement?" He laughed.
"You know I'm always excited to see you. Especially when we haven't met in days, Junhyung." The girl pouted.
The boy named Junhyung shook his head and smiled at his girlfriend.
"Rachel, why are you so cute?" He pinched her nose lightly.
"Because I am Rachel, duh!" She laughed and pulled him into the house.

As soon as he entered the house, he felt a rush of cold air.
He shivered and ignored it. He closed the door behind him and leaned against it.
"Come here." Junhyung pulled Rachel closer to him.
"What?"
"What are you gonna do today?" He buried his head in her neck and mumbled.
"I know what you are thinking, but nothing dirty. I was planning to clean out the house. The attic especially. It's too much for me to do it alone, you gotta help me." She gently push him away and smile.
"Meh. It's 8.30am, can we get something to eat first? Or is there a coke supply in this house?" Junhyung trudged his way to the kitchen.
"Yes, I stocked up on the coke supply last night. Am such a good girlfriend, ain't I?" She giggled and hugged her boyfriend from the back.
"The best. I need to quit my coke addiction." He sighed and shook his head.
"Don't, it's cute." She poked him on the side.
"What do you wanna eat?" She frowned and started staring at the contents of her fridge.
"I'm not hungry. Besides, I can't trust your cooking." Junhyung joked.
"I can cook very well! Hmpfh! Fine, don't eat than. Go away." she tried to push him away from her and out of the kitchen but failed. He was much stronger than she was.
"I was joking baby." He forced hug her.
"You're not forgiven. Till we clear the attic. I have so much stuff from school and childhood there. My gosh." She grumbled as they climbed the stairs to the attic.

"You are not joking when you said you had a lot of stuff up here. This place... I can't even see the floor!"
"I know right. Let's start with here..." She picked up a box.
"We shall go down to my room to sort the stuff out! Since there is no place up here for us to do so." She glanced round the attic and shook her head.

Junhyung picked up a picture frame from the box.
"Is this chubby girl... YOU?!" He smirked.
"Well yeah, that's me. chubby and adorable!"
"I didn't know you had a brother!" Junhyung commented as he took out another frame from the box.
"I don't." Rachel answered without looking up from the photo album.
"Than who is this?" He turned the photo frame.
"WAIT. WHY IS THAT IN THIS BOX?! I swear I threw it away." She snatched the frame out of Junhyung's hands.
"Who's that?" Junhyung stood in front of her.
"My ex boyfriend. Marcus."
"Never heard you talk about him though." Junhyung sat down beside her.
"He committed suicide. When I broke up with him." She said slowly.
"It sounds like something I would do." Junhyung tried to joke, to lighten up the atmosphere.
"I was so afraid of what he said before he killed himself...." Rachel tensed up. "He said that no matter what, he will be with me, no matter what it takes..."
"Alrights, shhhsss, don't talk about it anymore. Come, give me that frame, I'll throw it away for you." Junhyung said, hugging her.
"Stay here, I'll get you something to drink. call Emi or something, to calm you down. Alrights."
He stood up and kissed her forehead before going downstairs with the photoframe.
Rachel shook the hair out of her face and picked up her phone from her bed.
"Hey Ems? Free to talk now?"

Junhyung looked at the photo frame. The boy in the picture... he looks strangely familiar. It's like he knows him. Where has he seen it before.
Sliding his thumb across the picture to wipe the dust away, he looked at the face closely.
"It's him!" Junhyung gasped as he remembered where he had seen Marcus before.

"Goodnight. I'm hanging up." Junhyung wished his girlfriend goodnight before hanging up the phone.
Snuggling into his warm blanket, he drifted off to sleep and had the most vivid dream he ever had.

It was dark, all he could see was a light at the end of where he was standing, he kept walking towards it.
"Junhyung. Is it?" He heard someone behind him.
He turned around, and came face to face with a good looking boy, not much older than 17.
"Yes, I am Junhyung. Who are you?" He asked.
"Who am I doesn't matter. You're Rachel's current boyfriend isn't it?"
"So what I am?" Junhyung answered defiantly.
"Oh nothing. Nothing at all." The boy smirked, and slowly faded.
Junhyung turned to continued walking towards the light. It got brighter, till it started to burn his eyes.
He let out a yell, and sat up. It was a dream.

"Are you okay, baby?" Rachel sat down on the bed in front of Junhyung.
"I'm okay, bad dream. Good morning." Junhyung smiled and kissed his girlfriend.
"Sorry, I opened the curtains, cause I couldn't get you to wake up, so I thought maybe the sun would help." Rachel said shyly.
"It's okay." Junhyung laid back on bed, pulling Rachel down with him.
"So what was your bad dream about?" Rachel asked as she played with his hair.
"Nothing much, just that I was walking on forever in a dark place, towards a light, and the light got brighter and I thought my eyes were gonna burn up and I'll go blind."
"Well, it's a dream. Just a dream. Don't bother about it." She laughed and snuggled into his embrace.

'What does he want with me? What does he want with Rachel?' Junhyung thought as he clutched the photo frame till his knuckles turned white.
He thought back to what Rachel told him. "He said that no matter what, he will be with me, no matter what it takes..." It echoed in his mind.
The glass of the photo frame shattered in his hands, and the broken glass made a gaping hole in his palm.
"Shit!" Junhyung cursed as he reached for the sink.
But before he could get to the sink, he collasped to the floor.

"Are you oka- OH MY GOD, BABY! ARE YOU OKAY? BABY!!" Rachel walked into the kitchen to see Junhyung on the floor, unconscious. Her phone slipped from her hands and landed on the floor with a crash, but she didn't seem to notice.
"Answer me, are you okay?! YONG JUNHYUNG! ANSWER ME!" Rachel cried as she shook his body.
She reached for her phone. "Ems. Ems...." She was sobbing so hard, she couldn't form a full sentence.
She held up Junhyung's hands to hold them, and it was only than she realised that wound.
"Rachel. Rachh honey. what's wrong? Rachh?" Emi's voice could be heard through the phone.
She reached for phone again, but was stopped. She looked down at what was restraining her. Junhyung's injured hand.
"I'm fine, I'll call you back."

"Rachel." Junhyung said, but it wasn't his voice.
"Junhyung, what's wrong with your voice."
"Rachel." He repeated himself.
"Oh my god, Marcus?!" She backed away from her boyfriend.
