::Chapter 12::

"Oh my gosh, Becky is so thoughtful today. She prepared a lunchbox for me." Jaejoong gushes to no one in particular.

All of them are resting in the living room watching television. Everyone's focus is on the Korean drama that is currently airing on the television. The drama is now at its climax. Jaejoong just started to gush about the lunchboxes that Becky prepared for all of them.

Yunho throws a pillow in the direction of Jaejoong. The pillow hits him on the left side of his face but he gave no attention to it. He continues to stare dreamily into the space.

"Hyung! She did not prepare the lunchbox especially for you. Have you forgotten that each of us has one?" Micky said.

"Yeah, hyung. What happened to your memory? Have you gotten amnesia just like Junsu hyung?" Changmin teased Jaejoong.

Yunho and Micky starts to hit Changmin on his arm. But Changmin did not realize his slip of tongue. Yunho and Micky turns to Junsu to see his reaction on Changmin's remark. Junsu is sitting on another separate couch. He didn't seem to have heard what Changmin said to Jaejoong.

On the surface, he seems to be concentrating hard on the drama but what really goes on in his mind is anyone's guess.

"I did not. My memory is good enough, thank you. It is just so nice of Becky to make the lunchboxes in the first place." Jaejoong continues to dream away.

"She cooks very well. Hmm...maybe I should ask her to teach me some of her recipes one day." Jaejoong isn't even paying attention to the rest of the boys who are staring at him blankly.

"Hyung, stop dreaming. You are practically drooling at whatever that is going on in your mind." Micky can't help but tease Jaejoong.

"Hyung, do you think we should ask Jaejoong hyung if he likes Becky?" Changmin whispers to Yunho.

Micky is trying his best to eavesdrop on what Changmin is whispering to Yunho. However, Yunho just keeps pushing Micky’s face away.

"Yeah. Let's ask." Yunho agreed.

"Hey, what are you guys whispering about? What's the big secret?" Micky protested.

He wanted to be let in on the secret as well. Unfortunately, no one pays him any attention.

"Why don't you ask, hyung?"

"No. you ask." Yunho countered.

"You are older. So you should be the one asking."

"No...no...no. You ask him since it’s you who suggested asking him about it."

"No. You are the one who suggested that we should do something about hyung and Becky."

"Can one of you tell me what are you guys bickering about?!! I want to know as well!" Micky shouted at the top of his lungs.

Micky's shout seemed to bring Jaejoong and Junsu out of their dreams.

"Huh? Bickering? Where? Who?" Jaejoong asked confusedly.

He seems a little disoriented being startled out of his daydreaming by Micky's shout. As for Junsu, he just frowns at the four of them. He pays them no attention and turns his eyes back to the drama and realized that the drama is almost over.

Yunho and Changmin stops fighting over who should be the one to ask Jaejoong about Becky. Micky never got the chance to find out what is it that the two of them are whispering about. Some time around midnight, everyone retires into the bedroom that they share together. All of them fall asleep the moment their heads touch their pillows.
