"Oppa!1 year? Are you serious?" Nicole asked through the line after what Key has told her.

(I'm serious, Cole!) Key replied. Nicole could sensed the coldness in his voice.

"Oppa! You know that I can't live with..."

(Cole! I have to go! I'm hang up now.) Then he hung up. Nicole looked at her. Key was acting weird.

No 'I love you' when he hang up.

His voice was hinted with coldness.

"Jung Eunji! What have you done to my oppa?"

"I can walk by myself!" Eunji said as she tried to free from Key's grip. She found it uncomfortable to be close with him. 

"You're still weak." Key said. He really like to be this close with her, more than Nicole. Mrs Kim who was looking from behind grinned widely.

"They must be closer by now." She whispered to the Jung Brothers. They nodded slightly. 

As Key sat Eunji on the couch of their apartment, Mrs Kim, nanny, Jin Guk and the Jung brothers followed behind with some luggages and food.

They were rearranged the apartment. Key told his mother that they used separate room and Mrs Kim was almost threw a spoon at him while she was having meal. Which husband and wife sleep in separate room?

"Done!" The guys exclaimed as they finished moving Key's things into Eunji's room. 

"Oppa!" Eunji called out. "Time for lunch!"

"Uh!" They chorused. 

"Oh, Kibum! Did you tell her?" Mrs Kim blurted out.

"About what, umma?" Key asked back.

"The company annual party!"

"Oh, I forgot!"

"Then I announce it here. We're going to held iin the next two week." Mrs Kim claimed.

"But Eunji..." Changmin trailed, didn't want to recall that moment.

"I respect your decision, Eunji. It's up to you if you want to go or not." Mrs Kim said as she looked at Eunji who was sitting beside Key.

"It's okay. I can go!" She replied as she smiled to her brothers, assured them that she's fine.

"And you two, if you are free, you can come too." She told the Jung brothers.

"Geurae! And you!" She turned to Key. "Do not invite Nicole over! Understand?" He nodded carelessly.

"I know, mom!"

"Make sure to keep your word!"

Key has finished showering when Eunji was already sleeping. He snaked his arm over her waist as he lied down beside her.

His heart beated uncontrollable. He never felt like this before even with Nicole.

"It might be too soon, but I think I started to fall for you, Jung Eunji." He kissed her hair before dozing off to dreamland.
