Chapter 7

*CraCk*

"JinJin!!"

"HyeSUng?"

"Wat are you doinG?"

"Run!!" JinJin pulled HyeSung and ran to the closest hide out.

"Wat were you doin back there?"

"Shhhh ...be quiet"

"Did you break that window?"

"No..."

"Then whyd you say run"

"Cause....I wanna be with you"

"..........whaaa-"

"alone"

"you broke that window didnt you"

"COme on HyeSUng..lets go somewhere private"

"You broke it"

"Lets go shopping"

"Yupp..you broke it"

"Come on lets go!"

"Whyd you break it?"

"Will you everr stop??"

"I'm just worried that you'll get yourself into more trouble later on"

"So watt if I do, it doesnt have anything to do with you anyways"

"How can it not, we all grew up together"

"So"

"We all care about you"

"Shut up"

'Jin Jin.....when will you listen to me? Is there someone else? DO you kno how I feel..? Do you kno how hard it is for me to see you like this...'

"Come on....forget about what you saw....lets go...." Jin Jin left sadly.

JinJin walked ahead of HyeSung. HyeSung looked up and checked on JinJin once in a while to see if she ran away from him again to hide her face like always. He always wondered where she ran off to. But strangley..this time..she didnt run at all..she was tired. Tired of running away from her problems..tired of hiding from herself..

'HyeSungg...why do you always follow me like this? Why do I always run into you?? Do you follow me to see if I'm alright? Why do you care so much?? Dun I look strong enough to care for myself? Dun make me look weak oppa...I cant look weak infront of others...they'll pick on me..and the rest of us..I cant run away anymore....youre too over protective....'

JinJin walked to a garden. It was beautiful...but hardly anyone comes here..because its a garden that JinJin made herself..




*Flashback*
Year : 1990

"Okies HyeSung..lets go home..."

"Thats a good gurl" JinJin walks behind HyeSung slowly and turns on the corner.

"JinJin, wat were thinkin back there anyways??"

"........"

"JinJin??"

*no answer*

"JinJin!"


"haha...HyeSUng...you think Im that easy to get??? No No no..you have alot to learn." JinJin walked and walked to wherever she wanted. She didnt wanna go home yet, it was too early for her. She turned around the corner and saw a wooden wall built hiding an empty ground. It was filthy and dirtee full of plants.

'Dirtee place...but good enough for me......'

*End of Flashback*

"Have a seat HyeSung...wait for me here..." HyeSung looked around the garden. It was mostly full of flowers and 2 chairs and a table.  The table and 2 chairs were all white. The beautiful scent goes right with Jin Jin. The sun was burning everything it touched. The plants were photosynthesizing. They were just beautiful. More beautiful than HyeSung had ever seen. He'd never imagine that JinJin would actually come to a place like this. 'The flowers...they're so beautiful..did you plant these yourself?' JinJin walked back to where HyeSUng was with a bag.

"This is where I always end up after I run away from you, does that answer your question?"

"Yes..." 'You must notice that I'm always near you...but do you kno the reason why? I hope you do...so I dun have to tell you myself...'

"Lets go home" JinJin walked out the gate and headed home while HyeSung followed behind. Just 5 more blocks and they'll be home soon. But HyeSung had a few chills come down his back while they were walking home. Each time they turned a corner, he looked back to see if anyone was following. JinJin was not aware of wat was going on, she was too busy thinking to herself.

"Jin..shh..be quiet.." HyeSung pulls JinJin behind a tree and hid themselves. He looked out and saw 2 people follow them.

"Wats going on?"

"SHh..I saw 2 people follow us...."

"o shiet..."

"Stay here..."

"Where you-"

"Shhh..." HyeSung walked away from the tree and tried to follow the 2 guys.



"HyunJu, Im gonna go out and take a walk for a while"

"Okies Woo Hyukie"


"Dun make a move, and I wont blow your head..."

"............"

"Thats a good gurl, now give us wat we want back"

"Bastard...I dun have it..."

*Click* "Either give it back to me or I'll pull"

*PuNCh*

"COme on lets get outta here!" The dude pulled JinJin and ran as fast as they could and as far as they could from that man. "You'll be safe here...have a seat anywhere.."

"Thanx......."

"Woo Hyuk! You're backk...and this is....."

"Umm yea......she was in trouble"

"That bioTCh!!" HyunJu was jumping up and down in anger

"Hey..you again..wat a coincidence....."

"You guys ...met before?"

"SHes the gurl whos hating on Joey..."

"No..I'm not hatin on her, you guys just tHiNk I'm hatin on her"

"Ok Gurlss....HyunJu..maybe you should go to bed..you got school tomorrow..." HyunJu walked upstairs and went to bed.

"Wat was your name again?"

"Jin...."

"I see...I'm Woo Hyuk..did you kno those people after you?"

"I dun have to answer that"

"Fine with me"

"Thanx anyways...o sheitt..."

"Wat?"

"Nothing..I gotta go back.."

"Watch your back, I'm not gonna be there to save you again"

"Yea...I can take care of myself..." 'Shiet HyeSung..are you ok.....dammit....hope you're not in trouble...' Jin Jin walked back to the tree where she was before and was cautious of her surroundings this time. When she reached the tree, she noticed that HyeSung was looking for JinJin.

"JinJin!! Where were you?"

"Some dude helped me..and I just remembered that you were still here..so I came back.."

"You're ok though righ?"

"Yea...I am.."

"GOod...those 2 people...I lost sight of them..do you kno wat they wanted?"

"Nopes....I dun..."

"Ok..lets go home anyways..before they come back for you.."

"Yea..lets go home..."


"WAT?!"

"Yea...."

"Ok...Jin....come in my room...."

"Yes..."

"I'm sorrie JinJin...I had to tell JunJin....I-"

"Its ok HyeSung...he was gonna kno sooner or later anyways..." JinJin walked into JunJin's room and sat on his bed.

"You kno wat Im gonna talk to you about righ?"

"Yea..."

"Whyd you do that?"

"I have my reasons.."

"Jin...do you kno how much we care about you? Wat if those people caught you? Do you kno wat they were gonna do to you?"

"No..but atleast Im still here..."

"Yea...but will you gurantee that next time? Do you kno how much does HyeSung care? He follows you so that you wont get into any trouble"

"Yea..I notice.....he told me already that you all care and so on.."

"Yea..well...there are some things that you duno about..."

"Wat you say?"

"Nothing...just...go sleep....dun do that again.."

"I won't..." JinJin walked back to her room and HyeSung entered JunJin's room.

"Dude...why dun you just tell her? You're hurting yourself"

"I cant...how can i? I kno you wouldnt...."

"..still..are you just gonna not tell her for the rest of your life?"

"Maybe I can..just as long as she knows that I'm here to protect her..then it's all worth it.."

"I duno how you think..."

"Haha...I'm hungry...lets go eat"



"She's gone already?"

"Why arent you sleeping? Why do you care if shes here or not?"

"Hehehe....ok ok...I'll go.."

Chapter 8


"Sarah!!!! GEt youR ButT doWn HerE NoWWW!!!!!!!"

"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"SARAH!!!!!"

"Sarah....i think you should go down....you dunno what would happen when mom comes up...she'll probably yell at you to death....you know how she is after dad died......"

"I know Tony.....but.....you don't know what will mom do with me when you're gone...."

"I know mom will never do anything to hurt you...you're her daughter....what would she do besides yell?"

"...*sigh*...'I can't tell him....if i do ....she gonna lock me up.......'....."

"SaRAH!!!!!!!!!"

"Go Sarah...I'll be behind you..come on lets go.." Sarah reluctantly went. The smell of burnig fire could be sensed. Sarah grabbed on to Tony.Tony knew she was afraid. So he gave her a face that is telling her itll be all right.

"Yes Mom?"

"Tony go get some food" Their mother handed Tony a $50 dollar.

"Ok..."

"No...oppa....don't go..."

"Its alright....."

*Door Shuts*

"Do you know what kind of trouble you have gotten into little girl? I've told you many times to come to me immediately when i call you. But look what you have done. I've called you 3 times. And now you come. *Slap* DOnt you ever disobey me! But you've done that just before so now you get punished MORE!!!!" *Evil Laugh*

"Mom....no mom...please......mom......"

Sarah's mom dragged her into a secret room that was not apart of their house. The room was dark and filled with dust. There Sarah's mother abused her. Her mom punched, kick, and use what ever that would hurt Sarah. That night Sarah didn't go back home, instead she stayed there. No food, no water, no phone, no light. All Sarah did was cried.

"Hey...mom...wheres Sarah?"

"Oh..her...um...she went to her friends house..."

"That late?"

"YEa...but she didn't say when she will be comin back"

"Ohh Ok....i'm gonna go to sleep then...good night mom."

"Nite sweety"

'Thats weird...I never heard her saying she was gonna go somewhere.....and at night too......' Tony thought as he went to sleep. All night Tony couldn't go to sleep. He was worried about Sarah so he decide to call the people who knew Sarah to see if she's at there house. Everybody Tony called they all said Sarah wasn't at their house.

"Hey...mom....i'm worried about Sarah....you think I should go around the neightbor and look for her?"

"No Tony. Sarah just called and said she won't be coming home for a few days."

"oh......ok...thats better that she called......nite...."

"nite"

At 4 in the morning Tony's mother went to the secret room where Sarah was kept. She went in and saw Sarah asleep. Then she left an envelop in Sarah's hand.


*Next Day*


"Hey buddy whacha doing?"

"mmmmgrmrmemammaemrrm"

"Hm.......from the picture i'm getting i guess you would be eating lunch. Am i right?"

*Swallow*

"No duh!"

"Smart ay..."

"pshhh....hey...you know where did Sarah go? I haven't seen her for 3 days in a row."

"You didn't?....Welll i didn't either......ask Tony he might know."

*After School*

"Yea? Sup man"

"Have you seen Sarah anywhere?"

"Oh yea...forgot to telll you people..she went on vacation...."

"Vacation?? That early? I thought vacation doesn't start until....like.....2 weeks later??? Why didn't you go?"

"I dunno....she just left in around 11....i didn't even know until my mom told me....."

"Oohhh.........."

"ToNY!!!!!" Chil Hyun came running with 2 long pieces of papers

"AHHHHHH hide me." Tony hid behind Hee Jun

"Tonnnnnyyyyyyyy. Hey! I got two plane tickets to Hawaii. Wanna go? Theres LOTS of girls with less clothes *Wink Wink*"

"NO!. Anywhere but with you!"

"Awwww come on I've changed. I've learn to be less mature. See.." Chil Hyun showed Tony his new sneakers, baggy pants, over sized t-shirt, wore a gold neckless, dyed his hair blond, and wore colored sun glasses.

"Man....you're gonna really get all the girls now."

"No....well...ok.....but I can help you get girls toooooooo. =D "

"Ok....i'll go......"

*Next Day*


"Happiee biRthday too YOuu!! WOo hoOO!!!!!" Streamers were thrown all over Eric. He was happy today, because he had Joey with him.

"Hey Eric, wat wish you gonna make?" HyeSung asked

"Haha...I aint telling..."

"HAhahaa....you dun need to tell us, we already kno!!" After Eric made his wish and blew out his candles, they ate, talked and so on. After a few hours, Eric, MinWoo and JinJin were drunk.

"Joey, can you help Eric to his room?" HyeSung carried JinJin to her room

"Me? But...he looks so heavy...."

"Its okk" Joey lifted Eric's arm and put it around Joey's neck. It took her a while just to get him to his room, but it was all worth it. 'I feel..lucky...to have you by my side....' Joey put Eric down and watched him roll around. Just as Joey stood up to walk out the door, Eric called her name.

"Joey............JOEy............Jo...ey....."

"Go sleep Eric......"

"I'm not drunk....Joey..........."

"Go sleep....."

"Joeyyy.........do you kno how I feel?"

".....you're drunk Eric..."

"JOeYyy...."

"Good bye..." Joey gently closed the door and walked towards the stairway.

"Joey?"

"Who is it?"

"Come in..its MinWOo" Joey walks into his room and sees him sitting on his chair. He turns around to face Joey

"MinWoo..arent you drunk?"

"I dun get drunk too easily like them.."

"O..wat did you call me in for?"

"Do..you like Eric?"

"Wat kind of question is that.."

"I just wanna kno..."

"Umm...you can say that...I.."

"So you doo...I can tell you he does tooo...but...butt..if he...he ever...everrr.tries to hurrt you....dun worry.......cause...causee...I'll be there..." MinWoo tried to walk up to Joey but he fell on her and went to sleep.

"MinWOo..you've been drunk all this time...gotta tuck you in bed too.." Joey pulled the sheets up to cover MinWoo and left the room. 'See Joey..I dun get drunk too easily.........remember...I'll be there for you...'

Just as Joey walked halfway down the stairs, she ran back up. ' I forgot Eric...I made you something....even though it isnt all that good or anything..its the thought' Joey put a silver bandana on Eric's pillow. It was sewed with Eric's name on it by hand.


"Bye JunJin..tell everyone else I said bye!" Joey waved at JunJin and left the house. Woo Hyuk and HyunJu were waiting for Joey in the car.

"So how was the party Joey?" HyunJu turned around and saw Joey smiling

"It was ok.."

"Ok??? Haha..dun lie you still smiling!!"

"Ok alright..it was fun...stop buggin me....you're distracting Woo Hyuk's driving"

" =D He don't mind right Woo Hyuk"

"Whatever"

"Um...a friends house"

"So Hee Jun, wat kind are you lookin for?"

"I'm not sure myself..something that will taste good..and less work to make...and.."

"Chips"

"Chips?"

"Yupps, its the most simplest kind of food, no work needed to cook it cause its already made ready to eat, and if you buy lots of bags, you'll be full"

"Hmm...not badd.....okies! Gimme...8 bags!"

"haha Ok"  Hee Jun gave the bags to Em but one the last one Hee Jun threw it. Em on teh other hand stepped on a paper and almost fell but then something hit her head and made her fall.

"Ow...what you do that for?"

"Oh...sorry are you ok? i didn't mean it, i thought you were gonna catch it."

"Grrrrrrrr...hey....look over there" Em pointed somewhere. Then she grabbed Hee Jun's leg and made him fall on her.

"Ay..ay...get off..." Em push Hee Jun away

"Hey you made me."

"Get off!!!!"

"Now i'm gonna have to stay like this =D hehehehhee" Hee Jun hugged Em

"Arghhhh get off!!!! people are looking!!!!!"

"Your fault!"

"Ok ok ok i'm sorry now can you get off? pleaseeee?"

"Fine fine." Hee Jun got off of her and stood up.

"My god....that was embarrassing....." Em stood up and saw a few people laughed as they walked by. *Blush Blush*'That was sooo embarrassing....mann.....first time for me to hug people........*shivers*.....ugly feeling.....'

'hahah cute lil girl.....'

"Come on lets go...they might be paying now..." Hee Jun walked off

"Hey what took you guys so long?" Joey took the stuff from Hee Jun and put it on the counter.

"Ohhh we-" Em gave Hee Jun a pinch on his back and gave him a warning sign to not tell what had happened. Hee Jun just laughed "We were choosing alot of stuff thats why."

"Oh.....Hey Em...why do you always pick chips chips chips that stuff isn't good for your health?" JunJin asked

"not my fault his fault and besides we're celebrating." Em pointed at Hee Jun and Hee Jun looked away.

"PShhhh you pretty short for a 16 year old toOOo..5'6.... even Joey is the same height as youuu"

"I can still grow, not a man yet =D"

Woo Hyuk walked up to Joey "Hey Joey..Imma go home and get ready first..."

"Okies meet you back at the apartment"

"You going back with Hee Jun and HyunJu righ?"

"Yupps"

"Ok" Woo Hyuk walked outta the supermarket alone. While he was driving half way home, he spotted someone familiar. She was alone in the park. Woo Hyuk parked near by and walked over.

"You kno..smokin aint good for your health" Jinjin turned and saw Woo Hyuk walking up to her

"You again...why should you care..you duno me.."

"Well..I'm just tellin you before you regret dying cause of them"

"I kno my problems..."

"Mind telling me wats on your mind"

"No"

"Ok then....what are you doing here alone?"

"I wanna be alone"

"Mind if I sit here with you?"

"Suit yourself" THey sat on the swings for an hour and WOo Hyuk finally stood up

"My friends are celebrating summer, come if you want"

"No thank you"

"Bye" Woo Hyuk drove back home. Jinjin walked around the park alone until she got really bored. ' I dun wanan go back home....HyeSUng's gonna follow me around again.....' Wonderin around, she saw that she ended up infront of WOo Hyuk's apartment. ' Wtf.....whynot...he invited anyways'

*Ding DOng*

"Glad you made it"

"Yea yea....wat food you got?"

"You'll see" Jinjin followed Woo Hyuk to a room which looks like a kitchen

"Wats this.."

"Take an apron and cook"

"WAT???"

"Jinjin...hey.." Joey looked at Jinjin and greeted her

"Hey...nice to see you here...."

"We all arent that good at cooking either..so join us =) "

"Yea...suree....why nottt" Hee Jun and HyunJu were cooking together and Woo Hyuk was cooking alone. Jinjin walked around looking at them laugh and smile while they were cooking. Joey prepared the food for them to cook, so she walked around quite alot.

"Hey..Jinjin..I thought JunJin and them are celebrating summer too..why aint you there?"

"Dun feel like it.........umm..can I..."

"Help me? Sure" Joey handed her some carrots to chop. As the hours went by, Jinjin finally let out a little smile infront of them all. They were surprised at first, but they got used to it and went on with the celebration. Jinjin never felt so happy in a long time..She laughed with feeling..where she meant it and she liked it.


"Never saw you smile before"

"Theres always a first time for somethings"

"Good answer...." Woo Hyuk smiled at his food and ate it.

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

Chapter 11

A month pass and Joey and Eric had been doing alot of things alone. They have been seeing each other often. Both have a little feeling that they like each other. Except Joey likes him more........

"Hey Joey wanna go out for dinner tomorrow night?"

"Uhhhh i can't.....i have to go somewhere....."

"Ohh ok....how about the day after that?" 'I guess i have to go to my buddy's wedding'

"Sure..."





"Pleaseeeee...I dun wanna go......" Joey whined

"Why nott??? Its my wedding!! I'm your only aunt!!"

"Butt...can't I just go to your ceremony? The banquet..is just..a banquet..you can have fun without me =D "

"Come on..it'll be fun...maybe you'll meet some guys there...hehehee"

"O come on..."

"Now be a good gurl, and go to bed. Tomorrow's a big day for me..and you'll have lots of fun too"

"Good night...." '*sigh* Eric..I wish I could go to the dinner too..but..I'm sorry..I'm just hoping that you'll pop up for some reason at the banquet too...haha..stupid me..how can you be at the banquet? You dun even kno my aunt...I miss you already....'




"Hey Eric, why you puttin out a suit on your bed for?"

"MinWoo..I thought it was HyeSUng bugging me again.."

"So wats the suit for?"

"I'm goin to my buddie's banquet tomorrow..."

"Oo...they're gettin married already?"

"Yup..hey...wanna come with me?"

"Naw...I dun like suits.."

"Come on..I was supposed to be having dinner with Joey tomorrow night..but she had something to do..now I have no date, wanna be my date?? *Wink Wink*"

"EWwwww Get away from me!!"

"Hahaha..ok..lemme stop, come on,.it'll be fun, maybe there will be plenty of gurls for us to mack on =D "

"You still have Joey"

"But she's not my gurl yet, so I'm still free"

"Ok ok...."

"Great!"




"JoEy!! You look so pretty!"

"O please...is the banquet starting yet?"

"You can go out if you want, show the guys your stuff!!"

"Ha-ha..funnie..." Joey walked into the room and half the guests were already there. Many people stared at her. Many girls glared at her. Some were jealous that their boyfriend were drooling all over her. THere were old people as well as young people. Her mother couldn't make it cause she had over time work again, but she was happy for her sister. Joey walked around the room examining everyone. THey were all happy and coupled. The people who were not coupled with anyone were still happy because they were grouped. But Joey was alone. 'Mann...I shouldn't have came....I'm such a loner here.....Eric..wat are you doin righ now?'


"MinWoo!! Come outta the bathroom!!"

"No!! I look funnie in this!!"

"O COme on, look at me, its the same on you tooo come on, we're gonna be late!!!" Min Woo walked out of the bathroom with a black tux, it wasn't anything expensive, but it was good enough to make people believe that it was one-of-a-kind. The suit fitted him well. Some people might mistaken him for the groom.

"O damn!!"

"Eric..you look good yourself too"

"Come on, lets go!! We're gonna be late!!" MinWoo and Eric rode MinWoo's motorcycle to the banquet. Even though it looked a little ghetto, but thats the only transportation they had. As soon as they arrived, the banquet was just about to begin also.

"Lets find a seat!!" Eric walked in quickly trying to find a seat thats close to the bride and groom's table also. As Min Woo walked in, he spotted a gurl who was dressed in a baby blue dress. She was like an angel...her dress fell down to her ankle..she wore matching gloves with a silver braclet on her left arm. Her hair was half way tied and curled at the end. She looked totally beautilful. MinWoo froze for a second which seemed like forever and stared at her walking back to her table.

"MinWoo!! I found 2 seats!! Hurry!!"

"O- Ok..."

"Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the wedding of Mike and Mina" The announcer finished his speech and sat down. As the banquet went on, Joey watched everyone get up and dance on the dance floor.

"Joey!! Come on...go and have fun!"

"Mina..I dun have anyone to dance with! I dun even kno how..."

"I'll get you someone"

"No! Don't!!" Mina walked to JaeWon and whispered in his ears. JaeWon walked into the crowd.

"I found you some guys"

"Mina! I told you not too..."

"Here they come!"

"Joey, I want you to meet Eric and Min-"

"Min Woo right?" Joey had cut off JaeWon as he tried to introduce them

"You kno them already?"

"Yea..."

"This is alot easier than I thought, have fun you guys" JaeWon took Mina's hand and walked into the dance floor.

"Eric..wat are you doin here?"

"It was my friend's weddin, that guy righ there JaeWon"

"O really?"

"Wat are you doin here?"

"Its my aunts wedding..."

"Mina?"

"Yup! Wats MinWoo doing here?"

"O..I dragged him along, I didnt want to be alone"

"o i see.." There was silence between the 3, for a while. MinWoo just continued to stare at Joey. 'It was you who I saw when I came in. But........you..........how? I'd never think it was you...you looked so sad and lonely before....' As the slow music ended, tango music came on and a drunk man came over.

"Kids!! Come come, do you kno how to dance?" The man asked

"Um...no sirr....we-"

"O..why is that?? COme come, dance!"

"But-"

"Young mann, come and ask the lady to dance" The man pointed to Eric

"Sir..heh heh...I cant dance..."

"THat is nonsense, now dance" The man grabbed Joey and Eric's hands and put them to gether as they walked to the dance floor.

"Haha....would you like to tango with me miss?" Eric put his hand out like a gentlemen

"haha...yes...I would love to...but-"

"Its ok, we'll follow them" THey both watched all the other people dancing to the music. THey tried to follow them step by step but stepped on each other's foot. They were happy, they looked like a couple already. But from a distance, was someone sitting down just watching and thinking. 'I...wanted to dance..with you too.....but..you look so happy with him...and he looks so happy too......' When the music ended, they walked back to where MinWoo was.

"Haha..that was pretty fun.." Eric said and sat down

"Yea........slow song...my favorite......" Mina and JaeWon came back to Joey.

"Hey, I saw you two dancing out there before, not bad"

"Haha..thanx..."

"Why dun you dance with MinWoo now..he looks so bored here" Mina pulled MinWoo to Joey

"Umm..no..its ok Mina..I cant dance.."

"Hey, theres always a first time for everything, come on, the music started!"

"Well..lets go..it'll be fun =) " Joey grabbed MinWoo by his hand and walked into the dance floor. She put her hands on him, and he put his hands on her back. As the music went by, they were closer. His hands came down to he waist, and her head was resting on his neck and his head rested on her head. She closed her eyes and floated with the music.

"See...you're not that bad"

"Well..."

"I'm even worse than you, I stepped on you a couple of times"

"Its ok..it doesnt hurt..." THey continued to dance until the music ended. From the other end, you can see Eric. He was busy talking to the other gurls, but on his mind was another gurl. He kept thinking of her and the way she acted. She wasn't nosy like the other, she looked pure like a pearl. He drank a couple of beers while MinWoo and Joey were dancing together. By the time they came back, Eric was half drunk.

"Eric..I think we should go..you're a lil drunk"

"No..I'm not drunk!!" Eric swung the bottle around like a doll

"Ok..we're going home"

"Joey...we had fun and all..but we gotta go now..Eric's drunk"

"O...ok....then umm..I'll call later ok?"

"Yea...bye"

"Be careful"

"I will" MinWoo put Eric's arm around his neck and took him out to his motorcycle.

"Eric...whyd you drink so much? You kno you cant drink so much.."

"aRhh..........arhh......"

"*sigh* Look at you.....you made Joey worry about you...."

"Joey? O Joey....Joey.......wat was your name again? No one will ever touch you but me...you're my gurl...my gurll...."

"Yea Yea Eric, thats the last time Im dancing with Joey...." MinWoo rode off back home.



"Hello? MinWoo?"

"Yea......"

"Its me Joey, is Eric asleep?"

"Yea, I just put him on his bed"

"Ok...dun forget to put a hot towel on his forehead"

"O..Yea..I forgot...k..its late bye"

"Bye"

'It was a nice night....I danced with you....but Eric doesn't want me to dance with you again......but its ok..one dance is enough for me....good night" MinWoo shut the lights and went to bed.



Joey changed to her pj's and laid on her bed. 'We held hands..I'm so happy....this was the first time I ever held my hands with anyone before.....I will never forget this day...never..it was our first dance......will we ever do this again? I'm glad I went to the banquet.....Id never think you would be there....' The lights went out and the stars were shown. Joey was fast asleep dreaming.
