Chapter 25

It was pretty chilly that day, Dec 21, and Joey still has to buy a little bit of more presents. She went around looking for presents but instead she ended up buying herself clothes. She kept walking and walking around the mall, but each time she came out of another store, she seemed to look more sad. It was her thoughts again.

' *sigh* Christmas is coming.....Eric's gonna spend it with Sarah...and Im just gonna be with Hee Jun and them..............why not just stuff myself..and stop thinking'  She took the escalator down and went to the Food Court. She found that the Food Court was packed....mainly couples. She began to feel a little uneasy since she was eating by herself. She went for fast food and sat down at an occupied table. It took her a while to find a seat because every other table was full, she had to sit with a stranger who looked more like a beggar.

'This is my day.....' She began to unwrap her burger and started munching down. She tried not to look up and watch couples pass by, but they were just there, so happy, it tempted her to look up once in a while. When she was half way done her burger, she looked up, another couple was walking by again. She couldnt help but continued to stare. 'So much like Eric and Sarah...........' She was just about to continue eating, but something caught her eye. 'Minwoo???' She squinted and tried to look harder. It was Minwoo alrite. She stopped eating, grabbed her bags and walked to where Minwoo was.

"Minwoo!!" Minwoo turned around.

"Junjin called. Go home!!"

"No" Minwoo walked over to the railing and looked down at the people one floor below them. Joey followed.

".......=T .........why dun you wanna go home?"

"Duno"

"You dun wanna spend your birthday with them?"

"Nope"

"THey cooked for you"

"So. Too many people.............you busy?"

"Nope, wachu wanna do?"

"Spend my birthday with me"

"Watever you want birthday boy, but you better go home early!"

"Come on, lets go..." Minwoo had to drive his motorcycle slowly because Joey had a couple of bags with her. They dropped the bags at her house then drove off to where ever he wanted to go.



"The beach???"

"Yupp" Minwoo took off his shoes and walked to the sands close to the waters. Joey did the same and followed behind. It was already 4:30 and at about 6 the sun will set. For about an hour, there was complete silence except the sounds of the waves. Minwoo was just staring straight at the waves for the past hour. Joey on the other hand was fine at first, but when it was 5:30, she had a hard time.

"My EYESS!!!"

"?? Huh?"

"The sunnnn...... its so reDDDD!! My eyes are burniNG!!!" Joey covered her face and looked down. Minwoo reached into his pocket and took something out. He handed it to Joey.

"Wat is it?" Joey said still looking down.

"Sunglasses" Joey grabbed them and put them on.

"AHhhhh much better =D" She cheesed with the sunglasses on. It seemed a little too big for her, but to keep her eyes from burning, it was worth it. Minwoo turned to look at her, she was still smiling with the sunglasses on. Minwoo couldn't help but chuckle a little.

"Wats so funnie??"

"Nothing"

*GROWWWWLLL* Minwoo turned to Joey, but this time with a disgust face.

"......hehe....Hungry?? ........want something to eat?? >D "

".......no"

"Okies" Joey stood up and walked to the store. She couldn't find much except snacks. She walked around for about 15 mins, then finally got wat she wanted. She paid for the food and 3 packs of 24 candles.

"Wat took you so long? And wheres the food?"

"I ate it all"

"Pig" Joey stretched then sat back down and continued to look at the sunset with Minwoo. Not long after the sunsetted, darkness came pretty quickly.

"Didnt the sun looked beautiful when it setted-"

*THUMP*

"Huh???" Minwoo turned and saw that Joey had fell backwards. SHe was asleep.

'You sleep pretty quickly...haha....' He fell back and looked at Joey. She was fast asleep alright. So he decided to do the same. They both slept there for about 2 hours. It 8 was already. Joey's mouth was opened the whole time she was sleeping. Her saliva had been collected during the past 2 hours, and soon it filled her mouth till the saliva started to come out from the corners of her mouth. Joey opened her eyes then wiped the saliva.

'Lucky I wiped it before Minwoo saw it....hmmm hes asleep...kekee...'

*Poke Poke*  

"Arghh...."

*Poke Poke*

"............" 'Good..he's asleep kekeke...time to start!!'

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

Chapter 26

Joey reached for her bag and took the food out and laid them on the sand. 'Hmm...he's 18 now.......18 candles...' She took a pack of 24 candles and took 18 candles out. The first and simplest thing to do was to stick them all on one Twinkie (Hostess =D). As soon as she was done, she lifted the Twinkie up and looked with satisfaction. She put the Twinkie down and went over to Minwoo to find a lighter. She went to his jacket and dug in his pockets. She found empty wrappers and stuck them back into his pocket.

'Ew.....wat is thisssssss??' She took wat seemed sticky out. 'EWWW GUM!!!!' She used the empty wrappers and wrapped the sticky gum. She went back to finding the lighter. She finally found it and ran back to where the Twinkie was left. She lit the candles and smiled with satisfaction. Joey took the Twinkie and placed it on a plate. She tip toed over to Minwoo and was about to wake him up when she felt something move from the Twinkie. Two candles had tipped over and fallen outta its place.

'Arghhh..too many candles on one Twinkie............Damnn..I think theres too many holes on the Twinkie too...........' She tip toed back to where the rest of her stuff was left and started thinking up another plan.

'Hmm...wat can I do so that the candles won't fall..but can also fit all 18 candles??' She kept thinking and thinking then looked at the Twinkie.

'Wat if..ah HA!! They wont fall this time!!!' Joey quickly set down to work. She took another Twinkie and set it on a foam plate. She began to put 3 candles on one end of the Twinkie. Then she did the same on the other end. On the middle of the Twinkie, she put 2 candles. She took 3 candles and put them on the sides of the Twinkie on one end. She did the same to the other end. Finally the middle part was left. She took 2 candles and stuck them next to each other on one side of hte Twinkie, then stuck the 2 other candles on the other side.

'There! All done!' She went over to her bag and was about to zip up then notice that you had bought alot more Twinkies than she thought.

'ShiT! Now wat am I gonna do with these Twinkies....arghhhhh' She counted the Twinkies that she had left and came up with...19 Twinkies....

'......19 Twinkies....wat am I gonna do with 19 Twinkies........................' She turned to look at the "birthday cake" she made for Minwoo..they looked a little.....weird for a cake.... 'Mann..the cakes look messed up..wat am i gonna do....arghhhhh I'll just use the 19th twinkie as a plain cake.......and the rest as a present!..' Joey unwrapped one twinkie and stuck a single candle on. The rest were piled and stuffed back into her bookbag.

"Min woo...wake up....."
"Mhmhm....."
"Wake up...." *Shake shake*
"Wake me up tomorrow.."


".................LEE MIN WOOOOOO WAKE UPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!."
"What happened??!!!?!?" Min Woo shot right up.
"hehehe...i've got something for you!" Joey went back to where all her twinkies were. She picked up the twinkie with all 18 candles stuck on it.
'Wonder what is it......???? what the.....' Min Woo looked at what Joey was holding. It look really bright. Joey came closer. 'Damn..thats one big candle...but pretty' As the twinkie got closer to Minwoo, the so called "big candle" looked a little too long to be a candle.
"Whats this?"
"Happy Birthday!!"
"Haha i thought you had one big candle..hahahaha"
"You don't like it?"
"No........I...I like it....a little weird but..."

*Drop* Another candle had fallen off the twinkie

"Umm..Its ok!!! I've got more!" Joey went back and got the twinkie that had alot of candles sticking out in all different directions.
"Here!! You like?" Joey held it up to Min woo's face.
"The freak is this thinG?! Missles!!!! Hahahahahahahaha"
"ARghhhhhh making fun of my art work!??!!" Joey ran back and got the rest of her twinkies.
"Here! Plain and simple!" Joey help up the twinkie with one candle lit on it.
"Awww so dull"
"You kept makin fun of my other cakes!!"
"Hahahahaha"
"Bum! Now you will pay kakakaa"
"Huh?" Joey ran back to where her book bag was and handed it to Minwoo.
"Open it"  Min woo looked inside of the bag.
"oOO Twinkies"
"Glad you like em now eat"
"Eat? You kidding me right?"
"Nope nope =D"
"Come on...its only my birthday..no biggy..."
"You gotta eat this! And it is a biggy!"
"=("
"Eat!"
"...*sniff sniff*..."
"kekekee >D" Minwoo reached in and took a twinkie out then ate it
"There I ate it"
"ALL OF IT"
" @.@ "
"Kakakakakkaa!!" Joey watched as Min Woo ate. While Min Woo was on his last one Min Woo looked sick.
"....could....you...eat this for me?......"
"Nuh-uh-uhhhHh.....gotta eat it yourself..." Minwoo looked at the last twinkie then looked up to Joey. She gave him a 'EAT IT' face then looked back at the twinkie. He unwrapped it and took a bite. THen a second bite. Then.........

"ooOOuRrrrGGhhhhhHhh" He dropped the twinkie on the sand bent down and threw up.
"MINWOO!!!!!!" Joey looked at him with shocking and hurt eyes. Minwoo wiped his mouth.
"I'm ok Joey...its ok-"
"MY TWINKIES!!!!!!!!!!!! MY MONEy!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! My bABIES!!!"
" ??????? ARgHHhhHhH"

Chapter 27

"Look wat time it is!! You drove too slow! You said it wouldn't take that long to come back!! Its 9:30 already!!"

"Haha..blame it on the traffic...Im sure the guys wont be THAT mad...." Minwoo parked his motorcycle and walked to the front door with Joey. He reached into his pocket and unlocked the door.

"Whoa..wat happened here......" Junjin was holding a trashcan with him while picking up the streamers that were taken down.

"See Minwoo..they were all ready to celebrate with you"

"............." Just as Junjin heard Joey talk, he spinned around and looked straight at Minwoo. His eyes darted into Minwoo's and his finger pointed at Minwoo.

"YOuuuuuu" Junjin dropped the trashcan still pointing at Minwoo, charged towards Minwoo.

"Junjinnn my mannn....no need to get so upset hehehee"

"OUTTTT!!!"

"bUt-"

"OUTTTTTT" Junjin shoved Minwoo out of the door and at the sametime, Joey was kicked out as well.


------------------------------

"Minwoo...no use of trying........you've been banging for 15 mins already........"

"I hAVE to get back in there!! I gotta sleeeep you knoo!!"

*Window opens*  *BAMM* A pillow hit Minwoo's head and a big blanket knocked Joey down on the floor.

"OoF~ MY GOdd!! the freak is this!?!" Joey uncovered the blanket and looked at wat was covering her.

"You spoke too soon Minwoo"

"Come onnn wats going on???? OO!! You see pretty gurls outsidE?!?!?! LEMMe sEE!!" Eric ran to the window with his bag of chips and stuck his head out of the window.

"Ericccc open the window higher for me!!!!"

*CHokE ChoKE*

"ERiCCc!! wat are you doing?!?!? Get back in here!!!" Junjin ran to the window and pulled Eric back in. As soon as Eric was in, Junjin shut the window.

*BaNG bANG*

"Ay aY~! You're gonna pay for that window if you break it!" Minwoo stopped banging the window and walked back to Joey.

"See...told ya......no use in getting back inside"

*Inside*

"Wat the hell is wrong with you people?? Why aren't you cleaning up!?"

"Guarding the door"

"????????...................is Minwoo back!??!"

"Yes"

"STOopiDd!! Let him in!!"

"NO!"

"Move outta the way tree tRUnk!!" Jinjin pushed Junjin outta the way and opened the door finding Minwoo and Joey standing together.

'You again arghhh'  "MinwooOOo where have you been??? O yeaaa HappiE biRthdaY!!" Jinjin ran up to Minwoo and gave hi a big hug.

'Mann..wat the hell is going on downstairs.......I cant even get enough sleep from this.......' Hyesung walked down the stairs and found Junjin sticking his tongue at the door for some apparent reason. '??? The hell he doin...?'

"Junjin, why is it so noisy down here...?"

"suNGieeeee" Junjin nagged, but Hyesung only stared back at Junjin with impatient eyes. Junjin gave up and opened the door, Hyesung stood right at the door so that Junjin couldn't shut the door on him.

"Yay!! The door's opened!!" Jinjin was dying to get back into the house. Hyesung chuckled a little then turned around. Before he turned all the way to go back in, someone had pushed him a little and made him walk out the door.

*SLAM*

"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JUNJINNNNNn!!!!!!!"

WooHyuk woke up sweating again. It was the 3rd time this week. '....you bastards......' WooHyuk sat up and put his head on his knees with his hands over his head.


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

"Morning Woo Hyuk, you look so tired"

"O..HyunJu..yea.....I..didnt get enough sleep, hey Hee Jun, morning" HyunJu turned to look at HeeJun then walked away.

"She's still not over that stupid thing, Woo Hyuk, can you go talk to her for me?"

"No can do, I dun wanna get involved" HeeJun gave a sad expression and walked back to his room. A few moments later, HeeJun came back out "Hey Woo Hyuk, Sarah's gonna have a celebration when she gets her license, you coming?"

"Sure, when is that?"

"Umm...the 25th.........Oo!! Its on Christmas!!"

"Calm down Hee Jun...anyway, Im gonna go out, see you later"


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

"Junjin, how does this taste?"

"Mann...it better not kill me....remember, I kno people who know where you live Joey!!"

"Haha..just try it!!" Junjin closed his eyes and stuffed his mouth. He squinted at first, then opened one eye, then the other.

"Mmm...."

"So how is it???"

"mMm....................not bad!"

"Ah HA!! I TOLD you I can cook!!"

"No no nO, rephrase that, you CAN cook because of mOi~" Joey and Junjin sat and chowed down on the food that Joey made. While they were eating, Eric and Sarah were upstairs..



"So you gonna come to my celebration right?"

"Of course I will....."

"Ok good" She gave him a smile then brought her face close his.

*Creek* Eric and Sarah quickly parted and looked to see who just opened the door.

"HMmm....was I interrupting something?" Em came out with an evil smile.

"O..hehe..nothing.....what are you doing here?" Eric asked

"O, Hyesung wanted to borrow your blow dryer. He's picky as hell, he said he didn't like my blow dryer!"

"Here you go...now get out!"

"Heh- Heh- Heh I SeEE i WASS interrupting something.....kekekeke  >D" Em left Eric's room and went back to HyeSung's room, on the way Minwoo just came out of his room.

"Hey Em, where you goin with that blow dryer???"

"None of your business" She scrunched up her nose.

"=O Little one, why are you disrespecting your elders????"

"PShhh Who told you to always not have a smile on your face"

"........=D (<~~ Forced smile) Now gimme that blow dryer"

"NO!"

"GiMMEeee!!"

"NOOO!!!" They began to fight over the blow dryer, then suddenly heard smooching sounds. @_@ They both looked to where the noise was coming from. Their eyes finally landed on Eric's door. Em and Minwoo turned to each other then back at Eric's door.

'Hmmm......wonder what are they doing......' Minwoo saw Em walking towards the door, then stopped her.

"Let GOo!!"

"You're invading people's privacy!!" They were whispering. After a few moments of arguing, they accidently knocked the door open.

"We're sorrieee..........what are you guys doing???"

"EM!!! Get oUTT!!" Minwoo took a glimpse in the room then hurried back to his room. 'Did I think what I just saw is true?? O shiet...does Joey know......' Minwoo heard footsteps walking down the hallway, and Minwoo also walked outta his room. It was Eric and Sarah, he caught up with them.

"Hey....were you guys just....umm.."

"Kissing........yea........" Eric answered

"So you guys are.....?"

".......Yea......." Sarah blushed and looked up at Eric.

"But dun tell no one yet...I wanna wait till its the right time to tell..."


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

"Hey you guys! Wanna try Joey's skills??? I taught her kekeke"

"Sure, wanna try Sarah?"

"Ok.....hey Minwoo, wanna try my gurl's skilLz??" Minwoo scooped a spoonful, then ate it.

"Hmm...not bad....."

"Hehe thanx" Joey could see that Min woo was still looking at her while he was finishing his last bite. 'How is she going to react when she finds out........'

'Why is he staring............is there something stuck on my face?!' Joey reached her hand onto her face and started touching it casually, but not too noticeably.

"Is.....something wrong.......Joey??"

"O...Nothing..ehehe...nothing.....go on eat some more Minwoo"

"Woo HOOo!! I got my licenseE!!" Sarah kissed her license and cheesed non stop through out the whole ride home.

"Lets go my house, we're borrowing Tony's car"

"But....wouldn't he say no?"

"Doesn't matter, I got my license now, he cant do anything hehehehehahahaa" Sarah laughed evily. Joey could only laugh with her nonstop cheesing friend. Throughout the whole ride, Joey listened to Sarah talk about what she would be doing with her license. When they finally arrived at Sarah's house, she went in and changed into more comfortable clothing the grabbed Tony's keys.

"Come on, lets go car shopping!"

"But, don't you think we're gonna be late for the celebration?"

"Dun worry, its just car shopping" They bought cute tissue box covers, air fresheners, shades, dolls, etc.

"Sarah...I don't think you needed to buy that much stuff...and I dun think Tony would like it...."

"O Joey, you duno how it feels when you get your license. You gotta dress the car up =D  TOny won't mind, he cant decorate the car for shiet!"

"Atleast they're both fine now"

"Yea.."

The crowd took the elevator and went up to the next floor in the hospital.

"Minwoo!!"

"O Eric..hey.."

"Wachu doin here?"

"I uhh...."

"Visiting hours are over he-he-he-he...unlesss...."

"Shuttup man! Dun make me beat you up.."

"Ke-ke-ke I dont want my butt kicked, I'll go back to Sarah =D " Minwoo watched the crowd leave and Eric, then opened Joey's door. He pulled a chair over and sat beside Joey's bed. In his hand was a box wrapped neatly with a bow on top. He gently placed it on the nightlight table and stayed sitting on the chair watching Joey sleep.


-11:00 P.M-

Minwoo suddenly wakes up to the noise of fireworks.

<i>'?? Isn't it too early to start fireworks..

I'll be back Joey...I'll just be outside for a while...'</i>


-11:58 P.M-

"MmM......." Joey started to wake up, but she felt too tired and wanted to go back to sleep.

"aRghhh....." Just as she was gonna go back to sleeping, she suddenly had to go pee.


-Same time at Sarah's room-

"Ain't you tired Sarah? It's over 12 right now"

"Hehe..you're still here..how can I just go sleep?"

"It's ok..you need your rest..be a good gurl..I'll get you warm milk"

"Hehe..k thanx.." Eric stood up from Sarah's room and went out of her room.

'???? Who's comin into my room this late??'

=Foot step noises=

'Maybe it's HeeJun bringing me a treat...kekeke....I shouldn't wake up..or else he'll think I'm all fine already hahaa..' Joey made herself look like she was fast asleep and waited for atleast a basket to be placed on the nightstand.

'?? THe hell...how come the footsteps are coming closer???'

'Joey.......'

The steps stopped and soon silence filled the room..the person pulled the covers up to Joey's neck then reached over and touched her lips with his....

"Are you ok Joey?"

"..Ye-...Yeaa..uhh...I think...I'll go back to my room..." Joey stood up and turned around. She walked one step and looked up to her room's direction. Just as she looked up, she met eyes with Minwoo.

----------------------------


Chapter 33

"Joey..." Joey ignored Minwoo and walked back to her room. She lightly brushed past him and he still stood there with 2 cups in his hands.

"Minwoo, is something wrong between you and Joey?"

<i>

'I think I kno why you just walked past mee..

You must know....

I'm sorrie...

But I couldn't help myself..' </i>

"Im gonna go back to Joey's room...see ya Eric.." Minwoo opened the door and found Joey already in bed facing the window side. He walked over to the chair and sat down. After a few minutes, just as Minwoo was about to fall asleep, Joey spoke.

"When.."

"Huh?"

"When did they...."

"o......"

"So are you gonna tell me"

".......they started not long ago......"

"ok."

"...........do you still like Eric......"



<i>'Do i still like Eric?

"No" Joey made herself more comfortable and went to sleep.


<i>'Are you hiding it Joey...

Why can't you just show it out..'</i>

"Joey..you're not.."

"Not wat? There's nothing wrong with me Oppa!"

"But...you-"

"Come on..we gotta start packing, I dun like the smell of hospitals..."

"Ok then.." HeeJun watched Joey pack her belongings quickly as if she was avoiding HeeJun from questioning her. Joey's pace slowed down when she looked at the nightlight table.

"HeeJun, is this yours?"

"Huh? No..my gift is with Woo Hyuk right now"

"Then...whos.."

"Did Minwoo give this to you?"

"Minwoo......." Joey smiled to herself then grabbed the box and put it in her bag with the rest of her belongings.
