1* Missing You Badly

“Where are you?”

“Oppa?”

“I’m here in front of theatre building. Until when is your class?”

“Eh, Oppa… why… what are…”

“Tch! I’m parked at the usual place. Give me a call once your class ends”

Beep. Beep. Beep.

Shin Hye looked at her phone as she heard the busy sound. “What’s with that guy?”, she smiled, shaking her head.

The moment her class ended, she took her phone and dialled that number.

“The class just ended Oppa. Where are you?”

“Just wait for me in front. I’ll pick you up there”.

Beep. Beep. Beep.

“Hal! Second time. Jinja! You’ll see Geun Suk!”, Shin Hye let out a chuckle as she made her way out of the building.

Not less than two minutes, a red Ferrari stopped in front of her.

As she made her way inside the car, Shin Hye did not bother to give the chauffer a peck on the cheek, just like the usual; instead, she squinted her eyes and said in gritted teeth, “I told you not to bring this car here, didn’t I?”

“Tch! What’s wrong with the car?”, Geun Suk said, chewing his lips, trying to recover from the embarrassment of that expected kiss. He was about to lean towards her, waiting for that kiss, when he was taken aback by that look.

“The whole of Korea knew whose car is this.”

“It’s as if they don’t know that I own that white Porsche or that black land rover”, he said, as he maneuvered the car outside of Chung Ang.

“Louis and Khan are ok. At least a certain percentage of Korea’s population are used to those… not this!”

“What’s wrong with this car?”, he said, quite irritated of that sudden stubbornness. “Aren’t we settled on this one yet? We have discussed this a couple of times, didn’t we? Or should I say my sorry again for impulsively buying this one, and for making you worry”

Shin Hye looked at him, then said, “I don’t care about this car.”, Shin Hye heaved a sigh and then, “Just don’t pick me up again using this car”.

“Wae? What’s wrong with me picking you up?”

“Jang Geun Suk! I didn’t say there’s something wrong on you picking me up. Are you even listening? Just don’t pick me up using this car!”, she said, smoke starting to flare in her nose.

“Why! Just give me one good reason why I must not pick you up with this one?”, he said, looking back at her.

Shin Hye met her gaze and without batting her eyes, she said, “Didn’t you get it? Only a handful owns this car in Korea. And seeing me getting in to this car would start a fire of rumours that a certain girl from Chung Ang was picked up by Geun Suk’s Ferrari. I wonder who that girl is. Ah, cham, Park Shin Hye is studying in Chung Ang, right?”

Geun Suk looked at her and with disbelief written all over his face, he averted her eyes and let out a dangerous laugh. “So we’re going back to that thing again. Park Shin Hye, I’m getting sick of this argument. I know we have agreed that we will not disclose this one, but don’t you think we’re making a fool of ourselves when all of the world already know the real score, where here we are, trying our best to pretend that nothing is going on”.

“Don’t give me that argument, Geun Suk. We agreed on this”

“Don’t you get tired?’

“Do you?”

“Ha!”Geun Suk looked at her with pain in his eyes. He heaved a sigh then decided to keep quiet.

All along the ride, no word was said. No sound was heard. Shin Hye was just looking outside the window, trying to control her tears. What a great I miss you. We seldom see each other and you will greet me with this.

Geun Suk was just holding the steering wheel, he would at times took a peek at that girl seated beside him. I miss you. I have a lot of things to tell you. Why does it have to end this way?

As they reached their favourite spot at the Han, Geun Suk stopped the engine and let everything be drowned in silence. They both waited, silently pleading for the other to break the silence.

When she could not take it anymore, Shin Hye opened the passenger’s seat and walked out of his car.

Startled, Geun Suk immediately stepped down, following closely behind her.

She knew, he went down. She knew, he was following behind her.

“Ahhhh!”, Shin Hye screamed, and when she was about to look back, she felt a pair of hands wrapped tightly around her, her face buried to his chest.

Surprised, with widened eyes, Shin Hye blinked twice and thrice, let her breathing normalize, then, she closed her eyes.

“Mianhae.. mianhae…”, the guy whispered to her ears, as he held her tightly.

Shin Hye chose not to say a word. She listened to her heart.. to his heart…

Ten.. fifteen seconds after, “Are you really getting tired?’, she asked against his chest.

“I’m tired. You know I am.”, Geun Suk said, while kissing her head.

Dumbfounded, Shin Hye looked up at him, and with tears brimming in her eyes, she said, “Mianhae, if I’m making it too difficult. You do know that I love you, right? I understand. I know you’re tired. Mianhae…”

Confused, Geun Suk looked at her, and before she freed herself from his grip, Geun Suk held on her tighter.

Lost, Shin Hye wiggled herself to break loose, and said, “I understand, Oppa…. Ara…”

As she said those words, Shin Hye felt his arm loosened around her. Disoriented, she closed her eyes, then slowly walked away. I didn’t expect it to end this way.

As she took a step farther, she heard him chuckle, and then a hand grab hers. “Do you really want to die, Park Shin Hye? Or, would it be an ease for you to see me dropping dead here? Shoot me. Just shoot me. I think that would be easier.” He said, glaring at her.

Taken aback, Shin Hye took a step back, then slowly, she faced him, “You said you’re tired”

“You know I am”

“Tch! I’m just setting you free”

“Am I asking for it?”

“Oppa….”

“Do you want me to flick your forehead, young lady?”

Puzzled, Shin Hye tilted her head, then silently said, “I thought…”

Geun Suk smirked, pulled her to him, and when his lips are an inch from hers, he said while looking in her eyes, “I miss you. I miss you badly. I’m tired… too sick and tired, but knowing that at the end of the day, I will be coming home to you, somehow, all the pain, the longing, become nothing. You know I can only rest when I’m with you…I love you…”

He looked into her eyes for a second or two, then his eyes slowly lowered down to her lips. His eyes, fixed on her lips, lost in his passion, and then as if being called for, he closed his eyes as she closed hers, then the meeting of their lips happened. Geun Suk held on her waist tightly as his other hand has a grip on her face, not showing any sign of letting go. His kiss was deep… too deep that Shin Hye thought she got lost within that sensation. He did not let her go, he captured those lips for who knows how long. He missed her.. misses her badly.

Shin Hye did not know what to do, or how to react. The feeling was different, too intense…. Too strong. She closed her eyes tightly as tears start to fall from her eyes. She missed this guy.. she misses him badly.

Still not letting go of her, Geun Suk rested his forehead on hers, smiled then said, “You’re not that bad of a kisser as they described you to be”.

With widened eyes, Shin Hye was about to say something, when that guy’s lips landed on hers again and then said, “Do it like that, and you’re dead! There will be a blood pool next door, and the flower boy will definitely be at the center”.

“Yah!” Shin Hye said, blushing.

Geun Suk smiled, then silently whispered, still not letting go of her, “I have matured, right? The boyfriend does not throw tantrum anymore everytime the girlfriend go out and walk down the red carpet, or when the girlfriend is paired with someone else”, he said, still leaving butterfly kisses on her face.

“Tch! What’s the sudden hanging up on me… not only once, Oppa…. But twice..”

Geun Suk averted his eyes, and when he was about to let go, Shin Hye held unto him, her arms wrapped around his neck. The guy smiled, then said, “Everyone is taking a notice of my Little Missy….”

“Hm?”, she said, smiling.

“You really like it when you see me like this, don’t you?’, he asked, rubbing his nose on hers.

“I’m listening, Oppa”, she said, giggling.

“The boyfriend suddenly becomes jealous, jealousy turned to worry.. worry became fear…”

“Hm? “

“While I see you walking down the red carpet, my head was held high. That’s my girlfriend…Tch! Then I looked around, only to find out that I am like an idiot talking to myself. I wanted to go out and brag to everyone that.., that girl is my girl….girlfriend, but I couldn’t do so. Everyone is saying that Park Shin Hye is stunning.. flawless… elegant.. classy… I wanted to tell to everyone that.. Hey, that girl is mi….my girlfriend”

“And..”, Shin Hye said while looking at him.

“Yah!”

“And.. you still want to say something Jang Geun Suk-ssi”

“tch!!! That girl is my girlfriend, so better keep your distance from her”, he said, his head bowed down, embarrassed of his immaturity.

Shin Hye smiled, then said, “While I look at those clips of the Cri Show, and the photo of that guy who’s working really hard amidst the pain and the longing for his Princess”, Shin Hye slowed down her last words, reading the face of that guy, and when she saw him smile, she tilted her head, then continued, “ I silently screamed to everyone…. That guy is mine. And I am his… “.

Then the girl tiptoed, pulled his face closer to her, then gave him one soft kiss on the lips.

Lost moments
Sweet kisses
This time is theirs.. and theirs alone..
Missing you badly….

3* Sunrise before Reality Sets In

October 19, 12 mn

Geun Suk went out of the red fiat, and turned to the other side of the car, opening the passenger’s seat.

That girl was wearing a black leggings, a white wool sweater and chucks, while the guy was wearing a black sweat pants, a white pullover and grey jacket.

That guy took her hand and they walked hand in hand towards the seashore.

“Oppa…”, Shin Hye said as she let go of his hand, surprised where they were.

“Wae?”, he asked, smiling.

“How did you…”, she said, looking around, remembering that place.

“You said you want to go back to Okinawa, right?”

“But…”

Geun Suk smiled, walked back near her, and held her hand again. “Why else would you want to come to Okinawa but to see this exact place again? I know the moment you saw the sand, you wanted to run as far as you can, and though it’s freezing cold, you kept on coming near the water, playing with the wave”

“But you keep on calling me back, holding my hand, not letting me go.” She said, as she remembered how Geun Suk would not let go of her when they were filming near the sea.

“But stubborn as you are, you kept on running with Hong Ki and that chingu of yours, as if you’re a kid who has just seen the sand”

“Tch! I remembered you got mad when you called unto me, but I did not come near you”

“You just looked at me blankly, as if confused why I’m calling out your name”

“The staffs were already looking at us. They thought we were going out. You have this habit of teasing me, and they thought it’s cute”

“I was not teasing you. You know I’m not”

“Yah!”, she said, squinting her eyes on him. “Oppa, why did you suddenly get mad?”

“It was not suddenly. “, he said, channeling Hwang Tae Kyung.

“Oppa…”

“I kept on calling you, but you were not coming to me. I was looking at you from afar, but you were not coming near me.”

“Why didn’t you come to me? Why were you waiting for me to come near you? If you really want me near, you could do the other way”, she said, looking far ahead.

Geun Suk heaved a sigh. “When you were just looking back at me, suddenly, those days in the past flashed back in front of my eyes.”

Shin Hye looked at him, and smiled weakly.

Remembering his lines in YAB before, he smiled and playfully answered. “I got mad, Shin Hye. I asked the obvious. Why did I get mad? When I was looking at you, I saw your eyes were bright even if I was not near you and that made me irritated. It seems that you don’t feel empty when I’m not with you and I got scared. I saw you smiling at them, ignoring my calls. I saw you looking at me blankly. The same look that I saw that night when I sent you home.. that night in Tokyo, asking me why I was asking you to stay. I got mad, irritated, scared, lost… I want you near me but I can’t stay, I couldn’t stay. And at the same instance, when I saw his look, his stare at you, I remembered Deok Hwan. I remembered that feeling. But this one was much stronger. His look was different, and I know you’re beginning to feel comfort with him. Selfish as I am, the moment I saw that look, I made that choice. I suddenly remembered the reason why I was working so hard, making my name. I cannot pretend that you were just my dongsaeng. I cannot wait one.. two years more. I cannot made a fool of myself anymore. Aisssh! Who am I playing with everytime I tell everyone that you were the sister that I never had. Heck! I have never seen you as my sister, and I would never do.”

“Yah!” Shin Hye hit his chest playfully, looking at his eyes. But the moment she saw his eyes, his eyes which were not leaving her face, her cheeks suddenly became red, bowing her head, hiding her face from him.

Geun Suk held her hand and held her closely. “Mianhae….”

“Oppa..”

“Jinja. I was mad because I don’t want to lose you again. Tch! How am I going to lose you when you’re never mine after all?”, Geun Suk kissed the top of her head and closed her eyes. “Mianhae….”

Shin Hye hugged him back and then, with all the courage that she has, “I have a confession to make.”

“Hm?”

“I hate it when you tell them that we were soul sisters”

“Ha ha ha”

Shin Hye looked at him, and with pouted lips said, “Why can’t we simply be soulmate? Why do you need to tell them that we were soul sisters?”

“So, you also don’t want me to be simply your Oppa?”, he asked teasing her.

Shin Hye looked away, and then said, “at one point you tell them that you like very feminine woman, and you called me, Avant Hye. But you eliminated me in the Ideal World cup. You picked Min Jung Unnie. I was hurt, but then you answered they were asking for someone to date, and Eommonim was looking for someone for you to settle down with.” Shin Hye crinkled her nose, and then said, “I was thinking that time, you were becoming bolder, Jang Geun Suk-ssi. I told you before to stop playing with me, and now you even became bolder, playing around, for all the world to see. Everytime I go out, people were asking me if Jang Geun Suk-ssi was my namjachingu and they won’t believe me when I say “no”. Aisssh! You’re too cruel. Idols and actors alike were distancing themselves to me, probably thinking that I was already dating my Hyung-nim. Ha! I was 20 and no one would dare ask me out”

“Ha ha ha. So, it was somehow effective”

“No one was asking me out, Jang Geun Suk-ssi, when in fact I don’t have a boyfriend”

“You have. Everyone knows you have. And everyone who sees us know that they will just be wasting their time, courting you, because in the end, it will still be you and me.”

“Yah!”

“Why? Don’t tell me, up until this point , you still haven’t accepted your fate young lady? I was just arranging some things then. I don’t want to scare you. I was just making sure that the moment I come near you again, I won’t need to answer to anyone, except for my heart and yours…”

Shin Hye smiled, closed her eyes, and then whispered, “I have another confession to make”

“Hm?”

Shin Hye removed her hand from his and with that mischievous smile, she walked two steps away from him and then said, “When you saw me looking at you blankly, I was actually waiting for you come near me”

“Mwo?”, with widened eyes, Geun Suk asked, slowly taking steps near her.

Shin Hye, with face as red as tomato, started to walk backward, keeping their distance, added, “I may not want to admit it, but I guess, all those while I was just waiting for you to come near me… waiting for you to claim this stubborn heart”.

And with that said, she ran as fast as she could, embarrassed of what she just said.

Geun Suk smiled, allowed that girl to buy some time, and after a second or two, he ran after her… same way he ran after his dream, taking possession of that happiness and sanctuary, held it tightly, showing no sign of letting go.

After almost two hours of playing in the sand, Shin Hye leaned her head on Geun Suk and said, “Oppa, can we stay like this? Can you hold me like this?”

Geun Suk smiled, half-hugged her, while they were sitting at the sand, and whispered, “You know I’m just waiting for you to allow me to do it. Say it, and we’ll take all the time that we have”

Shin Hye snuggled closely to him and then said, “Aniya.. I can wait.. we will wait, right? No matter what, it will all go down to that”

“I know you would say that. Your words are my rules”

“Eh?”, she said, half teasing him.

“Oppa, aren’t you cold? You’ll catch a cold if we stay here a little longer. I know you hate cold weather”

“Aniya. We’ll wait for the sunrise and then, we’ll head home”

“Later, we’ll go back to the real world. I wonder when we will be allowed to have a beautiful moment like this again”

Geun Suk just smiled, shook his head, somehow disappointed that he could not grant that wish.

Sensing his sudden silence, Shin Hye looked at him, then said, “Thank you”

“Hm?”, he said, looking back.

“For making this day possible.”

“Thank you for allowing me to be with you. Saranghae”

And just like the movie, as the sun is rising on their background, the silhouette of that guy’s face came nearer to the girl, their lips softly touching each other, calming the waves of the sea, bringing serene to that wonderful sunrise.

In a not too far distance, the official chaperone arrived, his eyes still sleepy, but his smile bright and his heart light, knowing how important this time is for his two chingus. He may be the Hong Ki of FT, the idol of Pri… he may not have enough sleep and might have schedule here and there, but the moment he received that call… no further word needed. He is her Hong Star and his little brother, before anything else. And that, he won’t exchange for any hours of sleep. Anything for his Hyung and his prettiest friend.

And then suddenly remembering the message he received the moment that guy arrived in Naha, he immediately took his phone, and made that call.

“Free your schedule. Another invitation is out”, Hong Ki smiled, shook his head after he ended that call. “Jang Geun Suk will still be Jang Geun Suk”

2* Spies and Back Ups

As they reached Incheon, Shin Hye went down of the Red Ferrari, Geun Suk following closely with her luggage on hand. The girl did not say a word all throughout the ride, probably weighing whether it is really necessary for Geun Suk to go with her.

“Oppa..”, she said, looking back at him.

“Wae?”, Geun Suk tilted his head, looking back at her.

“You know I would love you to come with me… “

“hm…”, he asked with raised eyebrows, asking her to continue.

“But, this is Japan. Of all the places, you know you cannot afford to be seen in Japan with some random girl”

“Tch! Are you some random girl, Park Shin Hye?”

“I mean…”, Shin Hye closed her eyes. The last call for the flight was already being announced, and here she is, still convincing that guy not to come along.

Shin Hye bit her lips, tilted her head, worry evident in her eyes.

Geun Suk walked towards her direction, reading her eyes. “They will not hurt you, Princess”, he said as he held her, hugging her tightly.

“Oppa, I’m not thinking about the antis… this is just not the right decision at this point…”

Geun Suk heaved a sigh, and then distanced his face, looked at her, as if memorizing every inch of it.

“You are not allowed to leave the hotel room unless time for rehearsal ….”

Shin Hye’s eyes brightened upon hearing the rules. Her lips with a smile, her head nodding, asking him to continue.

“Aissh! Jinja, don’t you really want me to go with you that much!”, he said, as he saw the relief in her eyes.

“Oppa, I’m listening..”, she said, looking at him with a grin.

“You cannot, in no way, give your number to any idol or eat, dine with them. Shin Hye, you have to answer my call no matter what. You… and I mean this… you are not allowed to sit beside Seung Gi, or talk to him, unless otherwise part of the script.”

Shin Hye was just smiling, biting her lower lip.

“Are you listening?”

“Deh..”, she said, biting her tongue.

“Jun Hyung will bring your other things, and Eun Young Noona will be here in a while”

“Eun Young Unnie? But isn’t she with Jung Hwa Unnie?”

“I asked her for a while. This will just be short trip. She will not be away for long”

“Oppa!”

“Wae?”

“Unnie is busy. She has other appointments to attend to. Aisssh! Why don’t you just ask Kurt to come with me instead?”, she said, irritated.

“Oh.. I haven’t thought about that”, he said with a smirk. “Pali, Princess, the plane is waiting for you”

“Oppa, you’re not…”

Geun Suk smiled, then said, “Trust me. I won’t do anything unreasonable”

“Oppa…”

“I love you”, he said, as he kissed her forehead, pushing her to the VIP entrance of the airport.

As she went inside, Eun Young went directly to her, getting her luggage.

“Unnie..”, Shin Hye said, feeling sorry that her Oppa has dragged her here.

“Wae?”, Eun Young said, smiling. “There’s nothing much to do at the office.”

“Geunyang…”

“Do you want me to go with you, or do you want me to call him and accompany you there?”

“Yah! Unnie, are you really under 4HIM or you’re working as a double agent?”, she said, teasing her, thankful that Eun Young has been with them through thick and thin.

“The guy is just worried, Shin Hye. A lot of idols will be there, swarming at the location he’s two hours away from. And besides, you know how he’s worried of that King”

Shin Hye shook her head and then said, “Unnie, why can’t he trust me a little?”

“He does. He trusts you, a lot. It’s just that when that green monster is eating him up, he can’t use any logic to stop it”

Shin Hye hugged Eun Young and then whispered, “Kumawo, Unnie. Mianhae..”

“Aisssh!”, Eun Young said, shushing her.

“That punk won’t trust me”, Manager Jun said, a bit hurt.

“Ha Ha! Jun, the last news that he heard so far was that you called Lee Shin during the accident last year. And he still couldn’t get over that”

“Yah! You know I called him up first. I called him up even before I called Shin Hye Eomma. He almost made me deaf when he answered that call. And I almost die from his death glare the moment he reached the hospital”

“Ha ha ha! You’re quite close with FNC, Jun”, Eun Young said, teasing him.

“Hong Ki is FNC”

“You know that’s not what I mean”, Eun Young answered back.

“Aisssh! Jinja!”

“Yah! Oppa, Unnie… stop it.”

“Shin Hye, is Geun Suk really mad at me?”

“Jun Oppa, you know Geun Suk Oppa loves you so much. He would even hug you when he visited our dressing room in Tokyo Dome”

“He was teasing you Jun, because he knew you would ask him to leave her dressing room, if not for the camera that you saw following him”

“Eun Young, I’m just protecting Shin Hye”

“And you’re overdoing it. Don’t you trust him?”

Manager Jun closed his eyes, then looked at Shin Hye. “I don’t… at first. I know everything, Eun Young. I was there even before YAB… even before Etude.”

“Oppa… gwaechana… arasseo.. kumapta”, Shin Hye said, smiling at him.

Eun Young smiled as well then said, “You know, among all of 4HIM, Geun Suk is most afraid of you. He knows how much you care for Shin Hye, and he respects you for that”

—–

As they arrived at the hotel, Shin Hye was walking side by side with Eun Young and Manager Jun when an arm suddenly flew to her shoulder.
Startled, Shin Hye almost slap the owner of that hand, but was taken aback when he heard that voice.

“You seem too free to be loitering around, Go Mi Nam. My Hyung will not like that. If some other wolf will eye you here, I’m telling you, you’re dead!”

“Aisssh! How many spies are here?”

“You’ll be surprised if you would know”

“Aisssh! Hong Star…”

Shin Hye was about to say something when he heard someone approaching them. “Shin Hye, I’ll pick you up later?”

“Seung Gi Oppa”, Shin Hye said, a bit startled.

“Hyung!”, Hong Ki said, eyeing that girl dangerously. “I thought the rehearsal will still be tomorrow morning? Ah… I want to discuss something with my Chingu here. Will it be ok if you’ll just discuss whatever it is that you’re going to talk about.. tomorrow?”

Lee Seung Gi looked at Shin Hye, then at Hong Ki. Shin Hye bowed her head, apologizing at him.

Seung Gi nodded in understanding, smiled, then said, “So, tomorrow?”

“Mianhae, Oppa”

“Gwaenchana…”, then he excused himself and proceeded to his room.

“Tch! What will you do if I were not here, Park Shin Hye? Aissh!”, then he dragged her towards her room.

—-

“Where is your room?”, she asked, trying to lighten up the mood.

“Tch! We’re just next door, Shin Hye-ya. Hyung said…”

“Yah! Hong Star! Am I a kid? Why do I need a chaperone? Do you want me to call your Hyung now?”, she said, glaring at her.

“Aigoo! My prettiest friend is transforming into a monster!”

“Better be scared, Hong Ki. You know me. Do you want me to tie you and your Hyung together? Aisssh!”

—–

At the rehearsal of her dance number, most of the crew were surprised as they saw her dancing. Hong Ki and the rest of FT Island were passing by, when they heard the other idols discussing about the dance rehearsal inside.

“Jinja, pretty!”

“She’s not just pretty, she can dance”

“She’s hot!”

“Hot but still cute”

“Sexy..in a different way”

The whole FT Island were puzzled.

“Ji Yeon, T-ara?”

“Gyuri, KARA?”

“Dara, 2NE1?”

“Uee, After School?”

They were having fun, guessing who is that girl practicing inside, when as they were about to open the door, they heard someone said, “I heard, she’s dating Jang Geun Suk-ssi”

All five of them almost spit whatever it is that they were eating.

“Shin Hye Noona?”, the three younger FT Island exclaimed, immediately running inside.

The five of them sat at the front row, their eyes glued to that girl who seemed to be oblivious of the stares and the temperature inside that room.

“Is that really Noona?”, Jaejin asked, without looking at them.

MinHwan swallowed, then nodded his head.

They were all seated there, casted under a spell.

When the song ended, Hong Ki stood up immediately and ran to Shin Hye, “Yah! Does Hyung know that you will dance like that?”

“Oppa knows that I will dance. I’m just not sure of what you mean by like that. Is it too bad?”

“Aisssh! I cannot stay here. I better ask for back up. I didn’t know that you will dance tonight”

“Wae?”

“Aigoo! Go Mi Nam, can you just cut your hair again and transform to that clumsy girl? It’s easier to guard you before than now. I don’t know where to look or who to guard you from. All their eyes are on you”

“Yah!”, Shin Hye hissed, not sure whether she will be flattered or irritated.

—–

The following morning, Shin Hye went back to Naha Airport, Eun Young Unnie and one stylist in tow.

“They won’t notice that Jun Oppa suddenly disappears, right? They won’t ask where my clothes are, right?”, Shin Hye thought as she went out of the hotel room, a smile plastered on her face.

——

After the event, a little before midnight, as she went inside her room, she found a bouquet of flowers, with a note..

“You look too lovely tonight… “

Shin Hye smiled upon reading that note.
“Hong Star! Aigoo! You are one great spy!”

She was about to run outside, scold her friend, but was held back by a pair of arms.

“Where do you think you’re going?”

“Oppa!”, Shin Hye exclaimed, as she heard that voice.

“Deh.. Wae?”

“What are you doing here? What time did you arrive? Who are you with?”

Geun Suk smiled. “I heard someone is looking for back up. Tch! The gown is a bit subtle than the one you wore at Melon”

“Tch! Thanks to that shear laces. I almost tripped off”

“Tch! The layering was not that long. You won’t definitely step on it.”

Shin Hye smiled, shaking her head. Geun Suk spinned her around and hugged her from the back. “Lucky I was not there during Melon last year”

“Wae?”

“The dress was too sexy… I said, I like girls in mini skirt, but not girls in mini skirt while dancing on stage, her legs free for all to see”

“Yah!”, she hissed, a bit irritated.

“You can only dress and dance like that in front of me?”, he whispered to her ears, teasing her.

“Yah! Oppa”, she said, hitting his arm.

“Ha ha ha! I bet your face is red by now”

“Aisssh! Jinja! What are you doing here?”

“If I remembered correctly, someone said that she wanted to go back to Okinawa, because the last time she came here, it was too cold, she could not even go out”

“Oppa..”, Shin Hye said, looking back at him.

“There might not be that of an opportunity, so better take this now. One moment of waiting for the sun to rise should not be a problem, right?”

“Oppa….”

“Eun Young Noona and Jun Hyung already did some arrangements.”

“Oppa, how will you go back?”

“Jun Hyung will accompany me”

“Eh?”

“Eun Young Unnie will take care of you”

“Oppa…”

“Pali, Princess. We better hurry before the sun rises in the east”

어쩌면 다신 오지 않을지도 모르는 지금 이 순간.. 너무 감사하고 또 감사합니다. 언제나 고맙습니다.. 사랑해…우리언니..
Don’t know when will I have this moment again. really really thankful. been really grateful.. love you… our sister..

1* Fair and Square

October 17

As Shin Hye was packing her things, Manager Jun waiting at the living room, she was at times glancing at that guy seated on her sofa.

Geun Suk came a bit early that morning, and she somehow knew what brought him there at that hour. Prepared to hear his never ending tirade regarding the do’s and don’ts, the written and unwritten rules, Shin Hye wrinkled her forehead, crinkled her nose, puzzled why in the past hour that they were left alone in her room, she didn’t hear a word from that guy.

Sensing that the girl was looking at him, Geun Suk smiled, while playing with Nori and Bongji, and without looking at her, said, “Wae?”

Shin Hye pouted her lips, was about to say something, but decided to stop before she said a word.

“What is it young lady? Ask it now, or forever keep your peace.”

“Aisssh! Oppa, what is it?”

‘”Hm?”

“What did you do?”

“Eh?”

Shin Hye crinkled her nose and looked at that guy with squinted eyes, “Why is Geun Suk not asking anything? Why is he not giving instruction? I haven’t heard words like, “Do it and you’re dead!” or “try it and you’ll see me in front of the stage”. Oppa…”

“Hm?” Geun Suk said, looking at her as well.

“You didn’t do something behind my back, did you? Are you planning to go to another trip while I’m away? Or are you dating someone?”, she said, glaring at him.

“Ha! Park Shin Hye, do you see me that little? After all the hardworks that I did to be with you, do you still think I would opt to do something behind your back? Ha!” he said, shaking his head, a bit hurt.

Shin Hye looked at him, reading his eyes.

Geun Suk did not bat his eyes, looking back at her.

“Seriously, Park Shin Hye?”, he said, a bit irritated.

“Jinja, Jang Geun Suk, if I heard that you are dating…”

“And you will believe what you will hear from them? Aisssh!”, he said, biting his lower lip, standing from the sofa.

“yah! Where are you going?”

“Will lock myself inside my room, while you are away. Happy?”

“Aigoo! Jang Geun Suk..”, she said, a bit rattled by his sudden change of mood, but tried to play with him.

“What? Or would you prefer me going out with someone? Park Shin Hye, just say it if I’m making it too difficult for you. You don’t need to wait for me to do something cruel just so you could leave me. Just say it, and I will allow you to go, without questions asked”, he said, in one breath.

Shin Hye stood there, confused. He was looking at that guy, but she couldn’t see anything. Her mind went blank. She couldn’t process a thing.

Geun Suk was standing there, his back facing him. He was rumpling his hair and when he did not hear a thing, he looked back at her and hissed, “What? Why can’t you say a thing…”. He stopped mid-sentence, his eyes widened, when he saw that look in her eyes.

Shin Hye smiled, blinked a tear, and then said, “Mianhae… I didn’t mean to offend you..”. She heaved a sigh, bit her lip, then continued packing her things.

Geun Suk was just standing there, looking at her. What did just happen?

Five minutes and no word was uttered inside that room. Geun Suk was pacing back and forth. Shin Hye was silently folding her clothes, checking some things inside her bag.

“Shin Hye”, he asked, testing the water.

“Hm?”, she answered without looking at him.

“Are you mad?”

“Should I be?”, she said, as she zipped her bag.

Geun Suk walked near her, sat on the bed and looked up at her.

“Are you mad?”, he asked again.

Shin Hye averted her eyes , then shook her head.

“Liar!”, he said, hugging her waist.

“Oppa…”

“Mianhae…”

“I was just quite worried why you are not asking a thing”

“Don’t you like it?”

“hm… geunyang…”

“I thought you don’t like me giving you instructions on what to do or not?”

“Hm…”

“Hm.. but?”

“It’s quite new.. and I’m not used to it”

“Wae? You’re missing the unreasonable Geun Suk?”, he said, looking back at her.

“Yah! Oppa!”, she hissed, hitting him.

Geun Suk held her hands, and pulled her to sit on his lap. He kissed her hand and whispered, “I love you”

“I love you, too”, she answered, trying to hide her giggle.

“I was hurt earlier”, he confessed.

“Hm?”, she asked, pretending she didn’t know why.

Geun Suk squinted his eyes, looking at her.

Shin Hye smiled mischievously, then said with bowed head, “Mianhae”

Geun Suk pouted his lips, asking her to kiss him.

“Hm?”, Shin Hye asked, confused.

Geun Suk, with closed eyes, protruded his lips more.

Shin Hye smiled, held his face, then kissed his pouted lips. “Mianhae”, she whispered as she hugged him after that kiss.

“Why were you mad?”, he asked while he hugged her back.

“Hm?”

“Why were you mad?”

“Hm… Oppa…”

“Hm?”

“Will you really let me go just like that? I mean, if I say I want out, will you just let me go?”

“Do you want out?”

“What if..?”

“I’ll let you go..”

“Yah!”, she said, hitting his shoulder, removing his hands around her.

“Wae?”

“Wae?!?”, she asked, mad.

“Don’t you want me to let you go?”

“Will you really let me go?”

“But if you want..”

“Aissh!”, she said, trying to free herself from him, but Geun Suk held her tightly. “Yah, Oppa!”

“Wae? Why are you mad? Don’t you want me to let you go?”

“You told me before, no matter what you say, no matter what you do, I should hold on you tightly. Even if you say you want out, I should not let you go..”

“Hmm..”, he said nodding his head.

“Hm?”, she asked, squinting her eyes.

“But, that’s me Princess. No matter what, I don’t want you letting me go. I might say one word about leaving you, but it means the other. I might get twisted at times, get confused, lost… but in the end, I know I will always end up with you. I will always choose you”

“Hm?”

“’hm?’ ?”

“But you will let me go?”, she asked, like a kid.

“Don’t you want me to let you go?”, he asked, smiling.
Shin Hye bit her lip, then looked down.

“yah! Look at me”, he said, one hand wrapped around her, one hand holding her cheek. “Don’t you want me to let you go?”

Shin Hye smiled, then shook her head.

“Are you sure?”, he asked, grinning. “I’m giving you another chance, Ms. Park Shin Hye. I’m quite good in remembering promises. Once I said something, I really do it”

Shin Hye nodded her head and hugged her, hiding her face.

“I promise. I will never, ever let you go”, he said, as he stand up, lifting her from the ground, spinning around.

“Yah, Oppa! Put me down”, she screamed, hugging him tightly.

Geun Suk stopped, smiled, brought her down. And when her feet touched solid ground, he held her waist, rested his forehead on hers, and said, “Did you get mad at me earlier?”

“Hm”, she said, nodding her head.

Geun Suk smiled, held her face with his hand, and as his face neared her, Shin Hye placed her hands on his chest and with widened eyes, asked, “What are you doing?”

“We have to play fair. I made you mad, so I better kiss you”

“But, I didn’t ask for a kiss”, she said smiling.

“Even so… I always want to play fair”, and with that, he held her closely and kissed her full in the lips. He captured those lips for who knows how long, and when that girl was almost out of breath, he slowed down, leaving her with butterfly kisses. “We’re almost late for the flight”

With cheeks as red as tomato, Shin Hye bit her lower lip, distanced her face from him, then said, “almost…” and then, realizing what he just said, “We are?”

Geun Suk smiled, gave her one final peck on the lips, lifted her suitcase, then said, “WE are. I miss Okinawa”

“Yah! Oppa!”

“You went with me when I had my Cri Show in Yokohama. I think it’s just fair that I will stay with you in Okinawa. What do you think?”, he said, winking at her.

“Yah! You got to be kidding, Oppa”

“You wish, Princess. And if i heard it correctly, King Lee is having the same flight as yours”, he said with a smirk. “I kept my distance from Yoona. Why is he still keep on coming near you? I respected his territory, why isn’t he respecting mine?”, he whispered, having that signature Hwang Tae Kyung pout.

“Oh? So, should i be thankful to Seung Gi Oppa that he made a declaration to Yoona-ssi, because if not, the story in Love Rain will be relived the third time? Ha!”

Geun Suk smiled, pinched her nose, then said, “funny, Park Shin Hye. Ha ha ha! You’re really cute when you’re jealous. You can transform into the most unreasonable, unbelievable person, and you are still cute”

“Yah! Don’t change the topic, Oppa! Seriously, are you going to date Yoona-ssi, if not for Seung Gi Oppa?”

Shin Hye squinted her eyes.

“Maybe…. maybe, I would be dating Yoona-ssi if not for this girl named, Park Shin Hye”, he answered, shaking his head, while looking at her.

“Oppa…”

Geun Suk smiled. “I feel burdened of tall ladies”

“Should i be thankful that i am shorter than her?”

“I don’t like petite, thin girls”

“And you like me because i’m chubby. Hal! I understand. I will understand. At least, it won’t be that hard to accept if you decide to break up with me because of her. Why won’t you fall for her? She is adored by everyone. She looks innocent, so lady-like. She’s a goddess.”

“She’s not you”, he cut her off, smiling, shaking his head. “Yoona and I are so… not that. Maybe, if i met her like nine.. ten years ago.. maybe, we could hit it off. But, that is, provided you will not show yourself in the picture. I might break her heart the moment i feel your presence”

“Yah!” she hissed, trying hard not to smile.

“I love you, and you have me in the palm of your hands, little Missy.”

Shin Hye’s cheeks turned red again. She was standing there, not moving.

“Wake up, Princess! We’ll be late”

And then realizing the current situation, Shin Hye stomped her feet, pouted then said in a soft voice, “Yah, Oppa! Don’t you trust me?”. She asked him with puppy eyes.

Geun Suk smiled, held her face, kissed her again and then said, “i do. I’m just keeping my promise. I’m not letting you go…”

“Yah!”
