And maybe love is the reason why.....

[Redeim]

Khristian laughed lightly, "I've been told I'm good at that." He told Peyton lightly. "Just appearing in the most convenient place at random times. My little brother Kan calls it 'Korean drama syndrome.'" He laughed, waving a hand.

HeuSeoh nodded absent-mindedly. "But that's also the time it's most crowded. I personally prefer Fridays." He explained, not trying to bring Morgan down, just stating truth. He smirked at her, brushing his bangs out of his face, only for them to fall right where they were before. "Besides, today is Saturday. You wanna go tonight?""

[Dani]

Trying to understand the reference, Peyton joined in with his laughter. "I can't say that I've ever seen a Korean drama before, but they must be quite fascinating if they involve appearing and disappearing all the time. All people do here on American dramas is fight, drink, and sleep with each other." She wasn't a huge soap opera fan by any means, but she'd managed to catch a few minutes of one that Kylie was watching. Due to the overcomplicated plot, that was all she could pick up from it.

Morgan froze for a second before answering. She was a little nervous about trying out her new moves so soon, but she didn't want him to think that she was a coward or anything like that. "That's alright. We can wait until Friday. That way I can practice some more." She smiled and put her arm around him. "Did you have something else in mind to do or do you just want to hang around here?"

[Redeim]

Khristian laughed, "So I've heard..." He responded in reference to the soap operas. "No... Korean dramas they... Well. Put simply, there's always a main girl and main guy." He held up a finger on each hand, as if would help at all. "Then there's the girl to distract the main guy, and a guy to distract the main girl." He explained, holding up two more fingers. He paused for a couple seconds before putting his hands down. "I don't think I've ever seen a Korean drama without that set up. But at some point during the drama, one of the mains will walk in on the other kissing/hugging/doing something "wrong" that will make them upset." He said, then pionted at the table, "And it's that my little brother says I do well. Just walk in on someone in the most random time." He explained, suddenly feeling like a dork for explaining all that and then feeling proud about his "talent."

HeuSeoh, also liking the idea of waiting a while. He brought a foot up to rest on the edge of the bed. "I dunno..." He muttered, looking around his room. computer. tv. game stations... "I don't have a lot of exciting things to do around here..."

[Dani]

Peyton giggled at his explanation. "Wow, that sounds almost identical to the American soap operas that my godsister and her friends watch. Except on those, there's a lot of drugs, alcohol, and snobby rich people. I try to follow them, but they're so confusing." She paused for a second, recalling something else he had mentioned in his description. "So I guess I should worry about you getting distracted, huh?"

Morgan also glanced around the room, looking at the various items. "You don't think the TV and computer are exciting? Wow, you really are weird. I didn't believe it before, but that was enough to convince me." She threw back her head and laughed before giving him a hug. "But I still like you anyways."

[Redeim]

Khristian shook his head, "Ah, no. You're the only one I'll love. If ever, for whatever reason, I fell in love with someone else, I'd be honest with you. And if I meet up with a female friend, I'd let you know we're just friends." He explained. He felt a little bad about saying that. He remembered hearing something along those lines from a classmate about a a month before he left Macau.

HeuSeoh laughed with her, "No, it's just... I only have one controller, and the computer is only a solo thing so... not much for us to do together, you know. I don't want you getting bored..."

[Dani]

Peyton's face reddened as he said the word 'love' yet again. It was an awful lot to take in. She couldn't quite comprehend how she went from a girl that he pitied to a girl that he loved in such a short period of time. "Thank-you," she said softly. "Do you have a lot of female friends?" She wasn't even sure why she felt such a need to know. After all, she had a few male friends back home herself that could hardly be classified as love interests.

Morgan immediately shook her head. "You're not a boring person. How can I get bored with you? We can take turns on the computer if you want. I mean, I can't think of anything else we could do. What did you normally do with girls?"

[Redeim]

Khristian thought a moment, then shrugged. "Not really. I've got a couple back in Macau, and then a couple here. Mostly classmates and whatnot." He explained, then smirked playfully, "And what about you? Do you have a guy friends?" He felt he already knew the answer, but was just curious as to what her reaction would be.

HeuSeoh thought more over what they could do, then gave himself a play-smack on the forehead. "Duh. My mom set up a game room for the younger kids downstairs." He paused. "Saying it that way is lame. But anyway, it's got a couple arcade games, racing and pac-man. It's also got a couple game systems with two controllers. Why don't we go down there?" He suggested.

[Dani]

Peyton nodded her head. "Well sort of," she clarified. "I have few back home in Maryland that I was in the choir with. I haven't really heard from them since we moved away, so I guess I wasn't that important to them." She glanced down and sighed. "I also used to have a boyfriend, but he left and never bothered to contact me or anything. And then there's you, I guess.....I'm not really sure what to call you."

Morgan's eyes widened. "That's so cool! I wish we had something like that in our house. My godmother used to have an arcade in her old place back in Mabtown, but it's long gone now." She made a slightly sad face and got off the bed. "Hopefully we'll get some of our video game stuff replaced once we finish getting settled here."

[Redeim]

Khristian raised an eyebrow at the mention of a boyfriend, and then smiled when she mentioned him. "Why not just boyfriend?" He asked her, his grin wide.

HeuSeoh smiled, "We got a lot of insurance money from the disaster, so we got to splurge a little. Especially since mom all but kicked out GenShi and Junsu, we were able to get a bit of a smaller house and splurge on more uh... "important" things." He said, using air quotes with the last part and letting out a small laugh. He brought his legs up, then brought them back down quickly, creating enough force so he didn't have to use his hands or arms to get up. He stumbled a bit before regaining his balance, then let out a sheepish smile, "Shall we head downstairs, then?"

[Dani]

Peyton looked up at him, her face completely in shock. She wasn't sure why she was so surprised. He had told her that he liked her, even said that he loved her, so of course the next step would be him wanting to be her boyfriend. "Really?" Even though it made perfect sense, she still couldn't help questioning his suggestion.

Morgan nodded and got up off the bed. "My godmother's still waiting on the insurance money, so we don't have a whole lot right now. We had to move in with her. Madison and Taylor are getting dorms, but they're waiting for them to open up. Even without them, it's still real crowded. There's fifteen of us living there right now." She giggled a bit as he stumbled. "What great coordination you have." She headed towards the door and waited for him to follow.

[Redeim]

Khristian smiled and nodded, getting all too used to Peyton's disbelieving nature. "As long as I can consider you my girlfriend." He added in playfully.

HeuSeoh's eyes widened. "Woah, fifteen?" He laughed, "And I thought our family was big." He ran a hand through his hair, following close behind her, "Pssh, don't get so cocky. You haven't surpassed the master quite yet" He told her, wrapping an arm around her shoulders.

[Dani]

"Well if I called you my boyfriend, then wouldn't that mean you're considering me your girlfriend?" As soon as the question left her mouth, Peyton laughed, realizing that he was trying to be funny. Once the laughter died down, she glanced over at him and nodded. "Okay," she said simply.

Morgan giggled and nodded her head. "Yup fifteen," she said proudly as she began counting people on her fingers, "There's me, Madison, Peyton, Taylor, Jack, Kylie, Alexia, Lucas, Molly, Sammy, Nick, Sophie, Chynna, Bekah, and my godmother. It's like having a really giant slumber party!" She stuck her tongue out at his cocky comment. "I'm not cocky. I was just making a statement."

[Redeim]

Khristian laughed with her, happy to finally hear her agree. "But really now... Call me whatever you wish." He told her finally. "Even just 'Khristian' is fine." He added, once again being playful.

HeuSeoh raised an eyebrow as they began advancing down the stairs. "Seriously though? That's a lot of people in one house." He said, surprised.

[Dani]

Peyton relaxed some more and smiled at him. "How about my Khristian, my boyfriend?" As surprising as the words were to say out loud, they had a nice ring to them. "Wow, this day is so unpredictable. Honestly, this is one of the last things that I expected to happen today."

Morgan laughed and started heading down the stairs. Even though she hadn't been staying with her godmother very long, she was already used to the large amount of people. "Yeah, it is a lot of people. Jack, Bekah, Madison, and Taylor are moving into the dorms soon, so it will be a little less crowded. Peyton's too shy, so she's staying with us. I guess living with ten people is much better than living with a hundred strangers in a dorm."

[Redeim]

((I've started using third person instead "I" and whatnot... just letting you know))

Khristian smiled, "But it's not bad unexpected." Sitting up straight and still smiling, he added, "I like how this day turned out. Everything happened the way I was hoping it would."

"Oh yeah... Junsu and GenShi were pretty much forced to either live in the dorms full time or get their own apartment..." HeuSeoh replied. "Mom purposely only bought a four bedroom house. As it is, my mom uses the entire basement as her bedroom. She likes doing things like that for some reason..." HeuSeoh explained going down the stairs and into the living room. He noticed his mother and pointed in the general direction of the game room. "We'll be in the game room." He told her.
She nodded, holding Kasem down. The little boy looked longingly at the game room. "You can play with us another time, okay Kasem?" He promised the little boy, heading to the game room.
"Keep the door open." Ms. Kita piped in.
HeuSeoh nodded, muttering under his breath, "Just what do you think we're going to do...?"
