"Jooheon...its me-"

He just sat there and stared at me, still confused about who I was...until it hit him.

"Lee? It's you! It's really you!"

He ran towards me and tackled me to the ground in a hug, smothering me underneath him on the floor. It was just like when we were little kids.

"Yes it's me!" I yelled as I forced out a laugh as I was being crushed underneath him.

"Why are you here? How did you even get in here!?"

"Your mom set it all up with your manager. I'm staying here with you for the next month up until the day you and your group debut at your first concert!"

"Well, I am going to have to remember to call and thank her, and my manager!"

The two of us just laid there laughing in the middle of the floor. We were so entertained with our conversation and the fact that we were seeing each other for the first time in six years, we didn't even realize that anyone else had walked into the room yet.

"Umm...Jooheon...?" The boy whispered.

"AHHH Hyungwon. Hey!" Jooheon yelled as he scurried to his feet and yanked me up off the floor after.
"This is my frien-" I cut him off before he finished so he didn't mess up the whole trip.

"I'm his sister, Lee."

"Umm. Hello."

I glanced up and looked at him for a second. Okay, not just a quick glimpse, I mean I really looked. He was beautiful. I felt heat rising to my cheeks as I looked away from him.

What was the matter with me? He's an idol. So what, he's just a person. Was that why I felt so nervous with butterflies floating around in my stomach? Ugh, I needed to get over myself.

I looked back at him and stuck my hand out to shake his as I said "It's nice to meet you."

He just stared at me as I held my hand out before he turned and walked out of the room, into the bathroom. What a jerk! He might have been pretty on the outside, but his insides were a whole different story.

While Hyungwon had locked himself in the bathroom, Jooheon apologized to me for Hyungwon's actions. I just brushed it off as Jooheon dragged me out of the room into the hallway.

"Wait, I need my phone!"

"You mean this phone?" He asked as he pulled my phone out of his pocket and put it in my hands.

"How the heck did you-"

"It's a hidden talent." Jooheon said with a wink.

He grabbed my hand and continued to drag me down the hallway to the elevator.

"Where are we going?"

"Well, we're going to dinner."

"But your manager's assistant said I was supposed to meet him in the lobby for dinner at 7:00."

"Yeah, well now you're with me, and I'm calling the shots." He said as the elevator doors opened and he walked in, pulling me in behind him."

My heart was pounding for some reason, I think I was just nervous after not seeing him in so long. I looked at him as he propped himself against the wall of the elevator and stared up at the screen that showed us what floor we were on, as it continued to change.

Once we arrived at the lobby Jooheon sprinted out of the elevator and through the lobby towards the front doors, pulling me along behind him.

Once we were outside, Jooheon continued to run around the corner, letting go of my hand, leaving me alone.

What in the world Jooheon...

"PSSSSTT" I heard as I started to turn the corner.

All of a sudden Someone grabbed my wrist and pulled me into the alley next to the starship entertainment building.

"Shhh It's just me." I heard as someone's hand covered my mouth.

I shoved their hand away as I turned to see four boys standing there.

Jooheon, and three other boys I didn't recognize.

"Jooheon, what is this all about?" I asked, confused.

He smirked. "I told you, we're going to dinner."

"Yeah, but why did we have to sneak out like that?"

"That's what we have to do if we want to go out, otherwise we got stopped by our manager or security."

"So you're breaking the rules?" I asked trying to hold back a smile.

"Well yeah, but why is that something to smile about?"

"Because you haven't changed at all."

We both just looked at each other and laughed.

After that Jooheon introduced me to the other boys. Their names were Shownu, Wonho, and I.M., and as you can probably guess, they were other members of Monsta X.

After I got acquainted with everyone, the five of us walked out of the alley way and started down the street. I only now noticed that all of them had hoodies on that were pulled up or were wearing dark sunglasses...

Walking with them was weird. There were a lot  of girls that took our picture as we were walking, almost like they were paparazzi. Jooheon noticed me watching them and whispered in my ear, "Now you know what its like for us, any time we go out anywhere."

I couldn't even begin to fathom the lack of freedom they must have had...no wonder they snuck out so often.

We ended up at an Italian restaurant where the five of us shared a big corner booth in the back of the restaurant. It was really fun, and I started to become friends with all of the boys really quickly. After we had ordered and were waiting for our food, we got it almost ten minutes later. 

By the time he thought of it our food had arrived too. So Jooheon told everyone to wait until I was done with my dare to eat.

"Alright, what is it?" I asked.

"I dare you to...kiss Wonho, otherwise you...have to get up and sing infront of the whole restaurant, and...stand on our table while you do it!"

Everyone started to clap and holler in response. I felt my cheeks go hot again, a feeling that was starting to get a bit too familiar.

I was not, under any circumstances, going to sing infront of the whole restaurant, so had no choice but to do it.

Since Wonho was sitting next to me I just turned to the side and kissed him on the cheek before swiftly turning me head away.

"Oh come on!" I.M. yelled "Give him a real kiss."

Wonho looked at me apologetically as I turned to face him again.

All of a sudden my heart started to beat really fast as Wonho closed his eyes and started to lean towards me. I did the same until we were barely an inch apart, and Jooheon spoke up. "HAH- JUST KIDDING! You don't actually have to. It's just fun to mess with you." Jooheon called out. My face was a deep crimson as I pulled away.

All of the boys, including Wonho just laughed hysterically.

Suddenly the thing that pulled me out of my embarrassment was a bright, blinding flash of light. All of us looked to the end of the table to see a woman with a camera standing there. Then another walked over out of no where, until we were surrounded by paparazzi and other people who were taking pictures of us, the flashes blinding us.

I didn't understand why. We had been sitting here the whole time and no one had taken any pictures of Monsta x. But then I understood after I heard one of the paparazzi yell "So Wonho, is that your girlfriend?"

But what the hell? Girlfriend? That was a stretch...it had only been a peck on the cheek...
