Morning soon comes around and the apartment is a total mad house.I"m awoken by various sounds of cacophony. Tossing off the blankets, I get out of bed and make my way out of the room where I find Seungi, Hyo-joo and Chae-won sitting at the kitchen table conversing loudly telling stories to Irene whose busy making pancakes listening to them attentively.
She"s cute as usual wearing an ap.r.o.n over her day clothes with some batter splattered here and there. They seem to be unaware of my presence as I make my way over to the group. Chae-won is the first to spot me so I signal for her to remain quite.
Sneaking behind Irene, I immediately grab her from behind giving her a back hug. She screams in a mixture of shock and delight.
"Hey, I"m busy!" She says
"I know", I say as I nestle my head in her shoulder. After releasing her from my hold, I find a splattering of batter on her cheek which I gently wipe off and then proceed to lick off.
"Tasty"
Irene growing used to my incessant skin-s.h.i.+p barely even blushes and is more annoyed by my slight stubble. While the other three look they haven"t just drunken an entire vat tub of vinegar.
Turning around to shove me away, Irene notices that I"m not wearing a s.h.i.+rt. My abs are on full display. Toned, fit and rock hard it"s like I"ve just walked out of a men"s health cover shoot.
"Show-off, go put on a s.h.i.+rt" She says as she frees herself
"Will do" I salute, as I grab a bottle water from the fridge and empty it in one fell swoop. "I"m going to take a shower, you guys better not badmouth me while I"m gone"
Seungi is the first to answer, "Dongsaeng, that"s all I"m ever going to do"
Hyo-joo taunts in succession, "Joo-hyun just wait till his gone. I"m going to tell you everything!"
Threatening to throw my bottle at them they laugh.
Chae-won on the other hand is extremely peaceful, romantic and demure as she sips on coffee and looks likes she is at a morning bistro rather than a kitchen table.
As I make my way to the bathroom, I remember ordering Yuri-noona to buy the girls clothes, "Oh Noona"s there is female clothes which you can borrow"
"Oooh dylan you bring girls over often" Seungi asks haughtily
Rolling my eyes , I answer his question seriously "Yes, but only one (I signal to Irene with my thumb like the surfing hang 10 signal) and as for the clothes, they are new. I had Yuri-noona purchase them. Anyway that"s enough, I"m off ttyl "
"Dylan, what about me! Is there anything for me to wear" Seungi asks
"Just take something from my closet. It"s not like you haven"t before."
....
A while later I return washed and clothed. My hair is still a little wet giving me a slightly slick back style which is very graphic.
I make my way to the table where Seungi is happily chatting away with Irene.
"So where"s breakfast baechu?"
"In the microwave, you have to eat fast. It"s almost time for you to leave"
"Yes my dearest" I answer lovingly
After reheating the pancakes I sit down at the table. A few moments of awkward silence later (Did my prescene cause this? ) and light brus.h.i.+ng of my hair by Irene later, I take my last bite.
With my mouth still pa.r.s.ely full I say, "Hyung! You know. This is why I fell fwor her. Her mom really blessed her with cooking genes. Its amazing right!"
Suengi nods his head, "Stop showing off you piece of c**p"
I laugh and just as I"m about to tell him another anecdote, The two noonas make their return, only this time they look like they have stepped straight out of a movie scene.
Hyo-Joo is wearing her hair loose which drapes prettily over her shoulders. She"s wearing a white long-sleeve blouse with a b.u.t.terfly artwork, pair with a high waisted dark pencil skirt she shoes off her long legs and feet with a open toed teal strapped high heel
Chae-won trails behind her in a white dress, paired with a simple pink cardigan and white heels. Her hair is tied into a simple pony tail that shows off her long neck and draws attention to her face. Her dimple is in full display while she shyly makes her way to the lounge.
"Wow!" I can"t help but exclaim. Who I am complimenting is unclear but both of them react positively.
Seungi decides to add, "They say clothes make the man. I guess that"s true seeing how it managed to turn the man I met this morning into a pretty lady like hyo-joo"
Hyo-joo retaliates, "I"ll forgive everything else just because you called me pretty"
Irene interrupts the scene and calls from the kitchen where she is doing the dishes, "Dylan! it"s getting late you guys need to go!"
"You heard the lady! Let"s go!"
I grab the keys and am about to leave when Irene hurries to the door
"You are forgetting something" She says short of breath
Confused , I don"t think I forgot anything, "What?"
Looking at the others, she leans in closer and then draws two fingers to her lips and double taps. I get what she is motioning for , so a smile instantly creeps onto my face.
I step forward and using the tip I learned from Yoona say "Idatkimasu" before I enjoy a quick bite of dessert
Irene"s really not one for public displays of affection. Not that I mind. And with that we finally leave home ready for another day of shooting.

IRENE POV
"That should be enough! I hope Chae-won doesn"t get anymore ideas"
"In my next life, I"m definitely not dating any pretty boys!"
