Love In South Korea

Nessie said, "Don't sweat it. Just explain the situation as much as you want."

Vanessa sighed. "Can I just stay in here the rest of the time?"

Nessie shook her head. "Come on. I had to stop Ryeowook and Yesung from following you."

Vanessa nodded. She got up and followed Nessie into the living room. All the guys were there. Vanessa bowed to them and said, "Sorry for the mess I caused."

Leeteuk shrugged. "It's not the worst mess that's been in there."

The rest of the guys nodded in agreement. Vanessa still didn't look at the guys. She said, "I think it's best that I go stay somewhere else. Thank you for your hospitality so far."

She went into the bedroom to pack. Nessie sighed and shook her head. She whispered, "Idiot."

Heechul asked, "Why does she want to leave?"

Nessie sat on the floor Indian-style in front of the guys. "She doesn't want to. She would do anything to make life for Ryeowook easier. She thinks by going somewhere else he won't have to be nervous anymore."

Siwon asked, "Why does she like Ryeowook so much?"

Nessie smiled sadly. "I wish I could tell you guys. It is her secret to tell."

"He saved my life before," a voice said from the doorway.

Everyone turned and saw Vanessa standing with her luggage. Kangin asked, "What do you mean?"

Vanessa sat beside Nessie and took a deep breath. "About two years ago, I went to one of your Super Shows. I had a backstage pass. While I was backstage waiting for you guys, one of the male fans was getting a litttle too feelly. He had started to drag me out the back door. By that time, you guys had shown up to meet the fans backstage. Ryeowook saw what the guy was trying to do and came over to help me. The fan was arrested."

All the guys nodded. Vanessa got up and bowed to all the guys. "Sorry to have bothered you."

She turned to leave. As she was putting her shoes on, she felt someone grab her arm. She turned around and saw Ryeowook. He said, "That's not all. I feel like I saw you last year at our Super Show too."

Vanessa blushed and looked away. "One of my friends was one of your backup dancers. She let me switch places with her for your solo stage. 'Insomnia' was so special to me. Not only is it my favorite song, but it also told the world of my feelings for you. I felt so brave being up there and dancing with you."

The guys gasped in surprised. Nessie smirked. "I knew I recognized those eyes and hair."

Vanessa nodded. "You should. We are twins after all."

Nessie nodded. Ryeowook said, "You don't have to go. I just want you to treat me like a normal person."

Vanessa sighed. "Wo-Ryeowook, the way I treat you has nothing to do with you beind an idol."

Nessie caught her slip. "What were you going to call hime, Vanessa?"

Vanessa feigned innocence. "I have no idea what you mean?"

Nessie smirked. "You sure? I know you refer to him as Wookie sometimes."

Vanessa gasped. "How?"

Nessie shrugged and smirked evilly. "I read your diary."

Vanessa growled. Ryeowook said, "Stay, Vanessa. You just need to tone it down with your obsessive behavior."

Vanessa sighed. "Do you know how hard it is? I'm already holding myself back."

Nessie sighed and got up. She went into the kitchen to get a drink. Vanessa said, "Maybe I could do it. I mean, Nessie is keeping her obsessive behavior at bay so well."

The guys looked at her curiously. Xiah asked, "Who does she like?"

Vanessa smirked and pointed at Jaejoong. "She has liked him since Uknow sent their first CD."

Everyone smirked. As Nessie came back into the living room, everyone was quiet and watched her closely. Nessie raised her eyebrow at them. "You guys are acting weird. What happened while I was in the kitchen?"

The guys shrugged, and Vanessa smiled innocently. Nessie punched the wall. "Damn it! Vanessa, you told them about Jaejoong. I know you did , or Uknow wouldn't be smirking at me like that."

Vanessa shrugged. "So?"

The guys started to laugh at the situation. Nessie thought they were laughing at her, and her eyes started to glisten. She went into her room and slammed the door. She climbed into her bed and hid under the covers. After a few minutes, she heard the door open and close.

When she felt the bed dip, she thought it was her sister. "Vanessa, leave me alone please. I need to be alone."

"I would, if I was Vanessa."

Nessie gasped as she recognized the voice.
