Sweet Love

Around six o’clock the next morning, everyone got up. Nessie got around and went to the bakery. After she was gone, Kangin asked, “Do you think there is a way we can help Nessie bring in more business?”

Everyone thought about how they might be able to help Nessie. Kyuhyun said, “We know a lot of people go back once they try her sweets. We could hold a fan service of some kind, and people will be able to try her sweets.”

Everyone nodded in agreement. Kangin said, “That’s a wonderful idea. We should talk to Nessie about it tonight. I don’t want her to be mad at us for doing this.”

They all got around and went to do their schedules. Kangin was at his radio DJ job when he got another idea on how to help Nessie. His idea was to announce stuff about Nessie’s store over the radio. After he was done at the radio station, he went back to the company. When he got to the practice room, he saw that the other guys were there.

“Good, you’re all here. I had an idea while I was doing the radio show.”

Leeteuk smirked and said, “A few of us had more ideas too.”

Kangin smiled happily. He was glad the guys were supporting his and Nessie’s relationship. “We’ll talk about them with Nessie tonight.”

Everyone nodded in agreement. They began to practice. No one could concentrate because they were all thinking about Nessie. Sungmin said, “Let’s go visit her at her bakery.”

Everyone went to the dorm to change first. When they got to Nessie’s shop, they didn’t see her. They went in, and a voice from the back yelled, “I’ll be with you in a moment.”

Everyone smiled. They knew Nessie was going to be surprised to see them. Nessie came out of the back carrying a tray of cupcakes. When she saw the guys, she smiled happily. “What are you guys doing here?”

They all smiled at her. Eunhyuk said, “We wanted to come see your bakery. Kangin is the only one who has been in here before.”

Everyone nodded. Nessie said, “You guys are free to look around.”

Nessie put the tray of cupcakes in her display case. The guys and she talked for an hour. Nessie looked at the clock and noticed that it was four in the afternoon. “Time to close for the day.”

They all knew that they needed to get back to practice. Leeteuk asked, “Nessie, do you want to come watch us practice?”

Nessie grinned. “That would be wonderful. I might get new ideas for my business.”

The guys smiled happily. Nessie locked up her store and followed the guys to their practice room. As Nessie watched them dance, she started to get into the music. No one knew, but Nessie use to be part of a popular pop group. Nessie started to dance to the music.

Before Nessie knew it, she was dancing as if she was a member of Super junior. Her eyes were closed, so she didn’t see all the guys stop and watch her. The guys were impressed by her dancing. When the music was done, Nessie opened her eyes and saw the guys watching her. She smiled sheepishly.

“Sorry. Every time I hear music I get carried away.”

The guys could understand what she meant. They get lost in the music sometimes too. Kyuhyun said, “We know what you mean. We get lost in the music too.”

Nessie smiled happily. Kangin looked at the clock and noticed that it was seven o’clock. “Guys, it’s time for Star News.”

Leeteuk turned the TV onto channel six. Everyone sat down and watched the news. The reporter said, “In other news, a source has told us that the most popular member of Loch Ness is currently in South Korea.”

Nessie tensed. “Since the members of Loch Ness wore make-up, it is hard to tell what Nessie looked like,” continued the reporter.

Kangin turned the TV off, and all the guys looked at Nessie. Nessie sighed. “Just ask me.”
Ryeowook asked, “Are you Nessie of Loch Ness?”

Nessie said, “Yes, I am.”

The guys smiled. “Why didn’t you tell us,” asked Leeteuk.

“I didn’t want anyone to know. If people find out that I’m a member of Loch Ness, they won’t take my baking seriously.”

The guys nodded to show they understood. Kibum suddenly got an idea for the next Super Show and smirked. “I have a great idea for the Super Show this year.”

Everyone looked at him. Nessie tensed because she was worried about what he was going to say. “What did you think of?”

“Well, I was thinking since some of us needs partners for the show, we could get the members of Loch Ness to help us.”

Nessie let out a breath of relief. “I was afraid you were going to say you wanted us to do one of our songs.”

Kibum shook his head. “I wouldn’t do that to you. Do you think the other members will help us?”

Nessie smirked. “Just watch.”

She pulled out her phone and hit a number on the keypad. She pressed down on the side like it was a walkie-talkie. “Code Blue.”

She pressed the end button. Ten minutes later, four girls came into the practice room. They bowed to Nessie. Nessie smiled and said, “Girls, this is my brother and his group. They want us to help them with the Super Show this time.”

The girls thought about it. One of the girls stepped forward and said, “We’ll do it.”

Nessie smiled happily. “Excellent. I will let the CEO of the company know.”

They heard laughing. They all turned to the door and saw the CEO. He said, “No need. I already know.”

Nessie nodded. “Were the songs already picked for the Super Show this year?”

All the guys nodded. Yesung said, “We had picked one of your songs, but we can change it if you want us too.”

Nessie shook her head. “No, it’s fine. That would mean everyone had to learn a new dance. We don’t have time for that.”

The girls nodded in agreement. Nessie asked, “Who did the choreography for our song?”

The guys smiled sheepishly. Sungmin said, “We couldn’t find a dance that felt right. We were hoping it would come to us.”

Nessie shook her head and sighed. “I’ll think of a choreograph for the song.”

Ryeowook asked, “Nessie, are you going to introduce your members?”

“Oh! I completely forgot that I hadn’t introduced them yet. This is Mermaid, Fairy, Dragon and Pixie. Those are their real names.”

The CEO left. Kangin said, “We should practice.”

Nessie nodded. “Let us know when you need one of us to practice with one of you.”

Kangin nodded. The boys started to practice their routines. When Kangin called for a break, Ryeowook started to practice his solo routine. Kangin went over to Nessie and whispered, “Nessie, send Fairy to practice with Ryeowook. He won’t ask for her to help him because he likes her, and he’s shy.”

Nessie nodded. “Fairy, Ryeowook needs your help.”

Fairy nodded. She went over to Ryeowook, and they began to work on the choreography for Ryeowook’s solo performance. Nessie watched them. She noticed how the other girls couldn’t stop watching some of the guys. Kangin knew there was some sort of plan forming in her head.

He leaned over and whispered, “What are you planning?”

Nessie smirked. “I was thinking about helping my girls get together with some of the guys,” she whispered back to him.

Kangin smiled. “Can I help?”

Nessie nodded. She suddenly thought of something. “Do you know who wants to be my partner?”

Kangin thought about it.
