CHAPTER 8

    

We all walked back down the hall to the living room and stood around, not sure of what to do next.

“Well, since you didn’t eat the other night,” I said to Jaejoong, Junsu, and Yunho. “How about I cook you all something now?”

“Your first meal here!” Changmin seemed to like the idea very much.

“Practice is good.” Yoochun agreed.

“And you can tell me if you like my cooking.” I added.

“It’ll be good.” Junsu sounded sure.

“To the kitchen!” Jaejoong declared, and we all filed into the kitchen.

I hadn’t expected them to follow me and watch my every move, but I guessed it would be alright.

So that the silence wouldn’t be awkward, I started a conversation. “So tell me about yourselves.” I chuckled. “Tell me what I’m getting myself into.” They laughed too.

“Nothing bad.” Yunho assured me.

“Hm, I hope so. In my spare time yesterday, I looked you up on the internet. You have an awful lot of names. How come?”

“Different names for different countries.” Yunho explained. “Here in Korea, we are Dong Bang Shin Ki. Abbreviated DBSK. In Japan, we’re known as Tohoshinki, a.k.a. THSK. And in China, we’re called Tong Vfang Xien Qi, or TVXQ.”

I nodded. “Ohhh, I see. And you’re the leader, correct?”

He nodded. I expected his head to become ten times bigger with hot air, but it didn’t. He didn’t look prideful at all. His expression was very meaningful. He took his responsibility as leader very seriously.

“And you debuted as a group…December 26th? 200…3, correct? With the song Hug?” They all nodded. “I remember I liked the name of that song… The day after Christmas, that’s nice. That must’ve been the best Christmas present ever!”

I could just imagine getting one of my books published for Christmas…

“Yes, it’s a very special day for all of us.” Yoochun said.

I made a mental note to do something special for them on that day.

“I looked at your websites, but I didn’t get to look long. From what I saw… You guys are really popular. I mean, I hear about you everywhere anyway, but I never paid that much attention before. Do you have fan clubs or anything like that?”

“Yes.” Yoochun answered. “Our Japanese fan club is Big East. And our Korean fan club—which is especially precious to us—is called Cassiopeia. All of our fans are very important to us. Very close to our hearts.”

The others agreed.

“Hmm… Cassiopeia… that sounds pretty. Alright, so, let me see if I’ve got this right. You,” I took one hand off of the pot I was mixing in and pointed at Yunho. “Are the bass vocals of the group, as well as being the leader. And you,” I pointed to Changmin next. “Are the high vocals…what else?”

“He’s the Maknae.” Jaejoong said, messing up Changmin’s hair playfully.

Changmin ducked away and tried to fix his hair. I smiled at him. Oh yes, the youngest. So he’s the tallest and the youngest… interesting.

“Which would make you,” I point to Jaejoong. “The lead vocal and—as far as I’ve heard and observed—the mother.”

“Not anymore.” He said. “You’ll be the “mother” now.”
