Mina's POV

The aroma of fresh chocolate-chip pancakes and sweet, crisp bacon woke me with a smile etched on my face.  If there's one thing I love the most, it's food.

I sat up, stretching as I took in my surroundings.  Silver walls, black carpeting, and fluffy purple pillows...  I was in one of Mikki's spare rooms.  I must've came in here sometime last night, I thought.  Heh, don't I mean this morning?

I chuckled to myself..

I yawned as I glanced at the bedside table.  There, laid a plate of delicious looking breakfast and a tall glass of orange juice.  Aish, this guy.  Right before I took a bite, a knock sounded at the door, followed by Jaehyo.

"Good Morning,"  He greeted in a slightly sexy morning voice.

"M-Morning."

He smirked, sitting down and laying a medical kit next to me.  "You okay?"  He asked with sincerity, tucking the stray fringe behind my ear.  I nodded and smiled, trying to reassure him.  He pressed his lips to my forehead and smiled back.

After I ate, Jaehyo tended to my injuries and replaced my TMNT band aid for a Hello Kitty one.  I raised my brow.

"What?  It's in the name of the Great Jiho!"  We laughed, but our laughter was cut short when we heard the sound of car doors.   My eyes widened in fear.  Not fear for me, but for him.

I looked out the window and sure enough, all three of them were here.

"Go, go,"  I quickly ushered Jaehyo into a closet.

"Wait, what's wrong?"

"I-I-I,"  I stuttered.  I took a deep breath,  "I'll explain later."

He raised his brow, then bit his lip.  "Only if I can take you out later?"

"Deal,"  He pecked my lips as I closed the closet door. Internally, I let out a sigh of relief.  If Mikki or Kai had found out that I spent the night with a boy...  I'd be afraid to even find out what they'd do.

"MINA~~ I'M HOME~~"

"NOONA~~ WHERE ARE YOU?"

"Yah! Min, Jongin, please stop yelling, it's too early..."

"It's 2 in the afternoon, that's not early--"

"Plus we're not yelling--"

"WE JUST LIKE BEING LOUD WHEN YOU HAVE A HANGOVERRR~~"  The two shouted in unison.  I tried to stifle my laughter as I heard Mikki whine and slumped to the floor.  Key word: Tried.

"We found you~"  The two burst through the bedroom door and attacked me in a bone-crushing hug.

To say that they were hyper, was an understatement.

"Okay, let the poor girl go, she's turning blue."  Mikki said as she turned off the lights and crashed on the bed.  "There's McDonald's on the table if you're hungry."

"No thanks, I just ate."

The three of them stopped and stared like I had just killed something.

"D-Did you cook?"  Kai asked incredulously as he let me go.  I nodded and immediately they paled.  Mikki sat up.

"Min, go check on my kitchen!"  Mikki instructed.  "Kai, go get the medical kit!  She could have poisoned herself!"

As the two ran off, I face palmed, shaking my head back and forth.  Mikki placed the back of her hand to my forehead, checked my eyes, then pressed two fingers to the side of my neck.  "You're vitals seem unharmed--"

"Mikki!  What.  The.  Heck."  My eyes widened.  "I'm fine!"

"Then how--"  Her eyes snapped in realization.  "Did the Casanova cook for you?"

I remained silent.  She ran her fingers through her hair before locking the door.  "Did he stay the night?"

Still no answer.  I was looking at the ground.  "Did you two...?"

"No!!"  I shouted, a bit too quickly.  Mikki winced.  "Sorry,"  I mouthed.

She made a hand gesture as if saying 'it's fine'.  "Is he still here?"

I nodded slowly and couched.  Mikki looked at me suspiciously as she inspected the room.  She checked under the bed, in the connected bathroom, then... the closet.

"Hey,"  Jaehyo smirked.  Mikki glared.

What have I gotten myself into?

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

I sat through a scolding.  In fact, I sat through many scolding's from my two, hypocritical best friends.

"You can't sleep in the same bed as a guy."

"Guys only want one thing."

Blah, blah, blah.

It's been hours since this mornings incident, but yet, Kai and Mikki are still going at it.  I know that they're just trying to look out for me..  But c'mon, seriously?

Kai, I'm not going to lie, but he's a player.  Even though we don't go to the same schools anymore, word travels.  That, and the fact that I had to personally sit there and explain to three different girls (at the same time) that Kai wanted to break up.

His "Guys only want one thing", speech kinda seemed accurate coming from him, but I can't judge others according to that.

Then Mikki, heh, she did exactly what I did.  I found out that they spent the night at Kwonnie's and Mikki had shared Minhyuk's bed.  How is that any different from Jaehyo and me?

"Guys, for the millionth time, I'm sorrrrrryyyyy."  I groaned, stretching out my words.  I think they took the hint because then, they came and hugged me.

"It's okay,"  Kai pretended to cry.  "I still love you even though you're cheating on me~"

I rolled my eyes as Mikki playfully punched his arm.

"You're a dork,"  I laughed, tugging onto Mikki's sleeve.  "Wanna pick my outfit for my date?"

She smiled.  "Yeah!  Kai, go entertain Min."

"But he's sleeping..."

"And your point is..?"

"I don't wanna~"

Mikki sighed. "Fine, then you get to do her hair."  It always amuses me when these two fight. No matter what it's over, it's always interesting.

It didn't take long for Mikki to pick out my outfit; a long white printed sweater and maroon colored leggings with black and white flats.  Then she did my makeup, allowing for me to pick the colors as Kai began curling my hair.

When we were part way done, I got a text from Jaehyo saying that he'd be there in 15 minutes.  I took a deep breath.

Is it normal to be nervous for your first date?
