Sweet cakes ep5

�That idiot,� Jessica mumbled to herself. The night before, all she could hear in her head was what Donghae had told her.

�Try not to fall for me.�

�Conceited, arrogant, JERK!� The words just came out of her mouth.

HyoYeon stared at her with a tired expression, �come on, we need to finish this before breakfast.�

Jessica huffed, clicking the top of her pen multiple times, �I seriously want to kick him across the room.� If she had the strength, yeah.

�Why the hell am I cooking for twenty-two people? TAEYEON-AH!� SooYoung hit the silver bell on the counter.

�You rang?� Yuri popped her head into the kitchen.

�

�I�m not Tiffany � I called for TaeYeon.�

Yuri laughed, patting SooYoung�s shoulder, �Do you need me to do anything?�

�Serve coffee?�

�That I can do, Seohyunnie! Help me out here!� Yuri turned back on her heel, remembering what she wanted to say to SooYoung, �FYI, your boyfriend just got here.�

�FYI, no one uses that anymore!� SooYoun grumbled, taking a stack load of plates out of the dishwasher. Thank goodness for appliances. She felt like crap while Yuri left smiling happily.

A few moments later, TaeYeon came into the kitchen while putting on an apron, �I�m here, I�m here � I�ll save you the trouble and get the breakfast plates out.�

Jessica squashed in after TaeYeon to cook the bacon, �Where�s Siwon?�

SooYoung paused, �Uh.. I don�t know, what�s it to you?�

�Nothing,� she covered quickly, biting into a crunchy piece of bacon. She suddenly felt sad for the pigs.

�SooYoung-ah.�

�Yes?� She spoke to no one in particular, her back was to everything. She was too distracted to recognize anyone�s voice.

�Where�s your brother?�

She spun around and saw Hankyung looking into the busy kitchen. She noticed Jessica smiling all of a sudden. Thanks Jessica.. this makes me feel ten times better.

�Umm,� SooYoung�s tone softened, �I honestly don�t know.. I got up early and left to come here.�

�Okay, you want me to call him?�

�Sure,� she managed to say like a normal person.

Jessica let it out once Hankyung had left, �wahahahhahahahahaha.�

SooYoung blinked a few times and turned on the tap to rinse her hands which had suddenly become quite clammy. Blink, blink, blink.

�Ohmy, SooYoungie your face is really pink,� Jessica giggled, touching the shikshin�s cheek.

SooYoung shook her off, �just serve the bacon already.�

All twenty-one of them scattered around the caf� and ate their breakfast happily. You know how they love their food. Eggs, toast, bacon, pancakes, waffles, oatmeal � think of every possible breakfast food out there.

�OOHHH OHH, did I tell you about the time when I tried to change your diaper?!�

Kangin, Ryeowook, Yesung and Tiffany literally spat out their food due to Heechul�s statement about TaeYeon. They bursted into laughter.

�YOU WHAT?!� She fumed. She was ready to dye his hair an ugly shade of green. She got up to wrangle her arms around his skinny neck.

He choked, �E-e-e-eteuk!!!!!�

�SHUT UP!�

Shindong, HyoYeon, Yuri and Kyuhyun were eating at another table trying to enjoy the quiet atmosphere � not. Ahahaha. Yoona, Eunhyuk and Kibum were close by them. SooYoung sat down tiredly, starving. She needed something fill the empty space her stomach.

�Mm,� Kibum took a long sip of his coffee, �SooYoung, thank you.�

She nodded back, half dead. Yoona patted her back, �eat, it�s going to be a long day.�

Eunhyuk spoke, looking up, �hyung, did you call him?�

Yoona turned around on her chair and saw Hankyung coming forward to their table. She shook SooYoung gently, �SooYoung..�

�SooYoung-ah,� he bent down next to the exhausted girl, �he�s sick.�

�What?� She responded quietly.

Yoona tried to hold in her inner spazzy self by not looking at the two next to her. Eunhyuk stared at her awkwardly and she tried not to laugh. Yoona and Eunhyuk equals a staring contest. Winner, Eunhyuk.

Hankyung put his cell phone to SooYoung�s ear. She pulled it from him, their fingers slightly touching. It made her hand curl up, �Hello?�

She heard Siwon trying to cough something up. Erm, unpleasant. How could he have gotten sick over night? What was it � a cold? A stomach virus? Pneumonia? Hopefully not.

�Do you want me to come home? ..No, I�m not making excuses .. fine.. yeah.. yeah..you too.. yep, bye,� she hung up and gave Hankyung his phone back, �thanks.�

Again, fingers touching. She felt so uneasy. After the day HyoYeon and Tiffany brought up the inconvenient topic and the collision, it bugged her all the time.

Yoona grinned, touching SooYoung�s shoulder playfully and mimicking Hankyung, �SooYoung-ahh��

Half an hour into the meal, Jessica and HyoYeon wanted to announce the groups but everyone was yapping at maximum volume. They covered their ears before TaeYeon�s outburst.

�SHUT THE EFF UP AND LISTEN!!!!!!!!!�

Kangin cracked a joke, �I think her new name shall be �Stressed�.�

Donghae laughed, �I have one word for her � chill.�

�Lee Donghae, zip it,� Jessica demanded, which made a lot of them burst into hysterics.

�Jessica, I demand a switch!�

�TaeYeon, this was drawn all from a hat. I swear. Why would I put myself in fish boy�s group?!� Jessica pointed to the one and only Donghae, �Okay, so deal with it.�

He was pleased, �I think it was destiny.�

Sunny stuck out her tongue, �bleh, I think I�m gonna be sick.�

Each group was given a stack of fliers to give out and stick to posts or billboards. Two complementary megaphones were given to the big mouths of the group or the leaders.

�OKAY! Yoona-sshi, since Hankyung and your boyfriend barely speak, we will hold the megaphones,� Kangin declared.

�What areyou saying? I talk to her all the t-�

�OFF WE GOO!� Heechul announced to the world and his fellow group members. TaeYeon grumbled and follow the three guys out.

�COME ON SISTAAA, MOVE IT!� He screeched into his megaphone. Seohyun grabbed her ears.

�I AM MOVING BROTHA!� TaeYeon recalled back into hers.

Tiffany waved awkwardly, �Eheheheheehe.. have fun TaeYeonnie!!�

�Hyukjae oppa, you�re the leader,� Yuri stated, then locking arms with her beloved Kyuhyun.

�What � fine. As Leader, I give you the second megaphone,� he laughed.

�Yeah,� HyoYeon agreed, �you can be our poster girl.� She grinned and looked at SooYoung. Her complexion was dry, �hey..you don�t look so great.�

The thought of Siwon possibly have pneumonia scared her. She read somewhere that it could kill people who have it. She felt like a mess and a bad sister for not knowing he was sick earlier. It made her want to drown herself.

�Sooyoung, do you wanna stay?�

She shook her head, �no.. I promised the others so let�s go.� The door slammed close once they had left. The wind was pretty strong. Maybe it wasn�t such a good idea to promote today.

�Donghae, don�t be so� confident,� Tiffany found the words, telling him in a hush voice.

�Being confident is a bad thing?�

�Uh, maybe when the girl you have a thing for is not going after someone else,� she sighed, then realizing what she had said.

He froze, �.. what?�

She slapped her hand over her mouth, �nothing!�

�Lee Donghae, GET OVER HERE NOW. STOP HARASSING TIFFANY!�

Tiffany made a run for it before Donghae could ask her anymore awkward questions. He went over to his group with a puzzles look on his face.

Jessica made a face, that face, �what? No smart-ass comments?�

�Uh��

�Whatever, here �you and Sunny are in charge of the megaphones, got it? Good.�

�HELLOOOOOO!!!!!!!!� Heechul called into the megaphone. A swarm of women in their twenties came running over to huddle around the pretty boy.

�YAH! Yesung!� Give these lovely ladies the fliers!� Yesung frowned. He felt like such a pushover. All Heechul did was flash smiles and awkward poses � and that got most of the attention. He, on the other hand would smile kindly and talk about the caf� a bit but even that wasn�t good enough.

�Will you be there?� An ahjumma asked.

�Why, yes, yes, of course � I�m helping out my younger sister,� Heechul pointed to TaeYeon who nearly gave him the finger.

He laughed awkwardly, �She�s a ray of sunshine.�

�Aww, you�re so sweet.�

Eeteuk spoke to Yesung, �what the hell is he doing?�

�Trying to be a star.�

�Hello everybody!� Sunny spoke in her usual cute voice to the crowd. A bunch of guys were grinning at her like idiots. Their faces were about to fall off.

Donghae stared at her, �who are you kidding with your voice.�

�What? This is how I always speak,� she insisted. It was the truth. She put the megaphone close to her mouth, �please visit The Vanilla Bean Caf� this following weekend! We will be serving desserts and coffee at half price!�

�And Sunny here will sing you a few songs! How does that sound?� Donghae added and the random boys cheered.

�What is Donghae doing?!� Sungmin stared, bewildered at his friend�s actions.

Jessica swore to herself, �Nothing � not anymore.� She stomped her way over to him, pulling the megaphone away, �what do you think you�re doing?!�

He smiled, �it�s called promotion.� So he wasn�t going along with Tiffany�s suggestion at all.

�Well. Stop. Pro-mo-ting.�

He shrugged, �whatever � hey everyone, this pretty lady here will also dance for you. Cool?�

Sunny�s mouth literally dropped, she let out a scream when Jessica jabbed her heel on top of Donghae�s foot. He kind of fell back on Sunny but she shoved him off.

�OHHHHHHHHHH!� It sounded like the guys in the crowd felt Donghae�s pain.

�HEY, that�s it � let�s go,� Sungmin took Jessica by the hand and yanked her away from the madness.

�It�s f-f-f-r-r-eak-k-ing c-cold,� HyoYeon stutered, grabbing Yuri�s free hand.

�Kyuhyun-ah..can you hold this for me? Hyoyeon needs to be warm too,� Yuri shivered, pulling the dancing queen to her side and then putting her face against Kyuhyun�s chest.

�Am I the only one who feels alive?� Eunhyuk questioned, bouncing in his heavy boots, �Hey � SooYoung, are you okay?�

�Scream into the damn thing so we can get this over with already!� She demanded, hiding behind Kyuhyun to block the wind.

Eunhyuk got up on one of the benches located in the park and cleared his throat, �HELLO EVERYONEEEEE! Let�s get this party started!� He felt tense when people actually started to come over, �oh, crap.�

�Eunhyuk, do something!� HyoYeon told him as she forced herself to pass out fliers.

�I�m out of ideas!�

�Oh, brilliant.�

Suddenly to everyone�s surprise, Kyuhyun began singing the beginning of �Hawaiian Couple� into the megaphone. Eunhyuk grinned, being thankful that he was saved by the maknae. He handed his flashy red megaphone to Yuri so she could continue with Kyuhyun.

At the time, Group D happened to be passing by. They went to check up on the others to pass the time. Kangin cheered loudly over the group of people clapping for a beat.

Yoona cheered for Yuri, �where�s Sooyoung?� She felt Hankyung give her a light push to move to the front and Kibum and Kangin followed. Front view.

Eunhyuk laughed, �hey, what are you four doing here?�

�We�re out of fliers,� Kangin said proudly and the others tried to hide their smiles because really, Kangin just slapped the fliers wherever there was free space.

SooYoung pulled Yoona to the side quickly, nearly knocking Hankyung over. Gah.. what a secretive girl.

��Listen, my house is around the corner, I�m going to check on my brother so can you cover for me?�

�I�ll come with you,� Yoona told her.

SooYoung shook her head, �no, they�re gonna kill you and then me. And then Hankyung�s gonna snitch to Siwon about how I abandoned the group and -�

�He�s not going to do that, I know him and no! I�m not letting you do this on your own, so give me a moment,� Yoona scurried back into the crowd and pulled Kibum out of it. She felt scared when Hankyung saw her.

�Can you do me a favor?� She asked Kibum.

�What is it?�

Yoona glanced around, �I�m going to SooYoung�s house for a bit. I don�t want to leave her alone and this must be done in the most difficult matter so could you cover for us? Please?�

Kibum looked at her, then at the other two groups and then finally at Hankyung individually, �yeah, don�t worry about it. I�ll make sure he doesn�t go after you.�

She hugged him, �thank you.�

�Stay warm.�

And then Yoona and Sooyoung disappeared before anyone else noticed.
