A deep red rose petal floats in the air landing softly to the ground. "He loves me." Another petal lands next to the rose petal. "He loves me not." Again a rose petal falls to the ground. "He loves me." In a repetitive fashion this trend continues for another minute. The next petal is plucked from the pretty rose. "He-" Faye's eyes are covered from behind her, in shock she drops the petal in her hand. A manly voice is heard. "He loves you." The hands are removed and she regains her vision, she turns to look back at the mystery guy as she makes out his face. Faye throws the rose in the opposite direction at once. "Er...Taemin...what a pleasant surprise! I was just you know...bored and playing around. I don't really like anyone. You understand right? Erm seriously there is no one on my mind. How was your sleep last night?" Taemin purposely sits close to her on the wooden bench. He can obviously see she looks flustered at the proximity. His face leans close to hers, Faye clenches her fist unable to release her feelings. She puckers up her lips near his for a second she feels nothing and opens her eyes to see Taemin flick of a small spider on her shoulder. In embarrassment she bites her lip and fiddles with her fingers for distraction. Taemin's unwavering smile stares her right in the face, a small giggle escapes from his mouth. "So cute your weird antics. Your an expert in embarrassing yourself aren't you?" He pats her head like usual in an amused way messing her hair up.

"Ah! It hurts. Oh! Ah! I'm going to die!!!!! Taemin-ah!" Faye and Taemin rush towards the hideout and see Onew rubbing his bum and overtly screaming in pain like a drama queen. Taemin grabs an ice pack from the freezer and places it under the chair that Onew sits on. "Taemin look what them evil devils did to your hyung. I'm tired of this pain. I will punish them all." Taemin being the good maknae he is begins to massage Onew's shoulders trying to make him relaxed. Onew grabs a shelled walnut from his pocket and places it on the small desk next to him, he pushes one finger back and breaks the nut with a large hit of one middle finger. The shells clatter in several places and the nut from inside is born. Onew ruthlessly grabs the walnut and aims it in his mouth munching on the delight. "Get ready for my taekbam!" Faye is speechless and wide mouthed at the amazing strength, she always wanted to see him break the nut with one finger like he did on variety shows. She begins to clap her hands at him making Onew smile. From the window the culprits of Onew's sore bum are peering inside scared to come inside. Vicky notices them and calls out to them. "Come in guys!" They slowly walk in ashamed, Onew fixes his hawk eyes on them. "Stop! Changmin nearly cried at my taekbam! You know it right members? And now it's your turn to experience it! Just one flick on the forehead will do the trick." Key kisses Onew's forehead and bows down to his feet, Minho and Dru follow along. "Hyung i am so sorry. Please don't hit us." Onew wavers, he looks away and begins contemplating. "Well. If you say so. But next time there will be no forgiveness. Only because Key is looking too cute today. I will let it go this time."

Vicky gets everyone's attention while proudly standing next to a large table of food. "Guys listen up. I have cooked for you today, I thought since Shinee is here it would be nice of me to serve them food. I have the delicacies layed out on the table. Come on over." Mara and Tiana soon join the awaiting others sitting around a large wooden table. A variety of different coloured food are set up that fill the space. Tiana reaches for some wine and is stopped by Mara with a glare. Faye tastes a spoon of the tomatoe soup, her face retreats in disgust forcing her to put the spoon back down. Faye glances to her left and right hoping no one saw her reaction. "Vicky doesn't usually cook a lot to be honest so if there are any inaccuracies it would be because of her lacking experience. Please understand." Vicky tastes her own food and notices that not everything is perfect. But the effort is the the thing that counts she thought to herself. "The salad is decorated nicely." A random compliment is given to her by Minho who pierces a fork at the tomatoe and puts it on Dru's plate, being the courteous man he is. Mara the picky eater tastes everything little by little and chooses her favourites, after a couple of bites the rude lady actually tries to be nice and not make a big deal out of things. Tiana looks very uncomfortable and glances at Mara who can be unpredictable at times a short flashback meets her once again.

Mara crosses her bare legs. The sexy, purple one piece dress tightly hugs her figure contrasting with a pearl necklace placed beautifully on her neck. She taps the spoon lightly on her wine glass. "Waiter! Waiter! I have been waiting for much too long. How can you ignorantly be so late and leave me! A VIP guest needs special treatment!" The waiter apologises. Mara was not done with the humiliation. "I precisely asked for the finest of all strawberry red wine but you attempt to deceive me with cheap raspberry flavour?! A mistake is not possible, I will not withstand such rubbish service. How old are you anyway, you silly youngster!" The young waiter apologises again and lowers his head in submission. Mara grabs the note pad from the waiters hand and tears out the page with the recent order written on it. She rips the order into several tiny pieces and throws them in his face, they clash with him in pity and droop down. She gets out her phone and calls the manager. After a short conversation the waiter is fired. He hands over his golden name-tag to the manager as his eyes become teary, while he slowly walks out of the fancy restaurant. Tiana sitting down in utter shock is unable to speak against her older sisters wrongdoings.

Jonghyun waves his hands in Tiana's face. "Are you okay? You seem lost in thoughts." Tiana nods her head at Jonghyun. "I absolutely admire your hard work. I seem to be stuffed. Thank you very much Vicky you are an adorable young lady." Mara ignores Tiana's sayings and gets up from the table startling Tiana. Tiana whispers at Mara. "Please do not say anything undesirable. I beg of you!" Mara scoffs at Tiana and adjusts her glasses and whispers back. "I am not stupid! I know how to act in public. I can easily put up a charade, you worry about yourself why don't you?" And with that she walks off back to her room. Tiana receives a text from Mara. It reads ' I am waiting. It's time. We can't sit here and do nothing for days.' Tiana gets up to leave the table and walks towards her room. Jonghyun follows her. He leads her to his room, she reluctantly goes along with him for a short while, still worrying that Mara would be waiting for her.

Jonghyun smiles at Tiana lovingly. "Close your eyes. Reach out your hands and do not open them until I tell you to. Okay?" Tiana listens to his command. He reaches to his cupboard and pulls the drawer, taking out a envelope. He hands it to her. He then takes a bunch of violet, lilac and several other purple shaded variety of flowers that he had personally picked out from the woods and tied together with white lace. Jonghyun holds them in his hands looking confused as to whether or not his efforts will be appreciated by her. "You can open your eyes now." Tiana reads the card inside the envelope it says. 'I really like you. I hope we can date xx'. Her heart fills with several different emotions she seems very surprised, happy, hurt and is unable to speak. She again reluctantly takes the flowers off him and barely is able to mouth a thank you at the anticipating Jonghyun who is smiling at her looking into her eyes as though no other girl ever existed other than her. Suddenly a siren is heard from outside. Men dressed in several uniforms break into the hideout. A police man clasps Jonghyun's hands together with large, silver handcuffs, surprised Jonghyun looks at his powerless hands and back at Tiana who is being praised by the policemen along with Mara for their investigation. Tiana guiltily looks at Jonghyun's shattered eyes, as they both make eye contact. Jonghyun speaks, his words tear down Tiana's already guilty heart. "How could you do this!"
