Part 8

Joohyun ran fast to beat the now closing school gate but failed. She scoffed, mad more to herself than to the person who closed the gate. It’s her first time being late, and it’s all because she couldn’t sleep thinking of someone. She hates herself for not being able to resist on thinking of him. “Now, I have to be sanctioned for being late” she whispered. It’s not like she hates cleaning (the punishment for being late is to clean the campus), what she doesn’t like is messing up her schedule for the day. “I’ll have to inform mom to fetch me an hour late for our appointment.” she took her journal and write it as a reminder, then took out her book and started reading “Might as well read while waiting for the gate to open.” She thought

Yonghwa let out a frustrated sigh when he saw the gate closed, because of his band practice he can’t afford being late due to its consequence. “Aw sucks! The boys will kill me for this” he muttered. He looked at his fellow late comers that are standing near the gate waiting. And someone caught his attention, the cause of him being late today. That beautiful girl who’s holding a book and reading, totally oblivious of her surroundings, Seo Joohyun. “Such a sight to behold this early morning.” He whispered while staring at her, he dared not approach her, not with all the people around. “CNBLUE can’t practice later because of this, but Joohyun would be there after class for the sanctions too… Not bad” he smirked

--

After class, the freshmen late comers were gathered and were instructed to clean up the garden area at the back of the campus. There were about 5 of them, Joohyun was tasked to clean up the leaves that fell from the trees while the others picked up weeds and some water the plants. She was heading to where she planned to start cleaning when she heard voices that made her stop and hid herself behind a tree, she peaked and was not surprised of what she saw basing from her phone conversation with her cousin Hyo last night (heart to heart talk with her mom was interrupted by Hyo’s phone call) Jung Yonghwa is really popular with the girls, and a lot had tried confessing their feelings but Yonghwa always decline, albeit nicely. Another girl has mustered the courage to confess.

“I baked these muffins just for you, oppa. Please accept it.” with the girl’s back facing her, she can see Yonghwa’s reaction.

He brushed his fingers through his hair, he gave her an understanding smile “I’m really grateful for your thoughtfulness, but if accepting your gift means accepting your feelings then I’m sorry. I hope you understand and I sincerely hope you can find a guy who’ll love you back.” He said in a sincere and apologetic tone

The girl nodded “I understand” she walked away with shoulders slightly slumped

She saw him sighed and looked around. She was hoping for him to go so that she can start her task but for some reason, it seems like he wanted to stay a little while longer.

“I know you’re there, so whoever you are just come out” Yonghwa called in a loud voice that made her stiffened “If you don’t come out from where you’re hiding then you’ll be sorry if I’ll find you” although threatening, there’s humor in his voice

Joohyun bit her lip, confused of what to do. And finally, she took a deep breath and stepped out from where she was hiding “I swear I was not spying on you” she said defensively “I swear! I’m here with good reason, I am tasked to clean this area and it so happened that you’re here too.” She reasoned

Yonghwa smirked “With good reason Seo Joohyun?” his eyes playful

“Y-yes, I was late and this is my punishment. T-that’s why I’m here” she stammered, she avoided his eyes and her face turning a deeper shade of pink

He nodded, walk towards her slowly, his eyes piercing on her “Okay, I understand” he whispered his lips inches away from her ear.

Joohyun’s eyes closed as she felt Yonghwa’s breath fanning on her ear, and felt the hair on her nape standing because of it. Her face turned from pink to crimson as Yonghwa walked away as if nothing happened. She knew her heart just did a summersault for him.

After she recovered from her trance, she started sweeping the dried leaves under the trees. “That girl must be really sad today.” She said, talking to herself loudly “Imagine how much courage she mustered to approach him and confess and just to be turned down just like that” she stopped sweeping just to snap her fingers and then back again. “That’s why, I should be contented on looking from afar, like him by myself and be contented and happy with just seeing him or playing in a band with him” she continued

“So tell me, are you one of those girls who has a crush on me?” a voice from behind startled her

“OMO!” she gasped, and just like expecting a monster in a horror film, she turned her head slowly. And she almost fainted at the sight of Yonghwa behind her, his back leaning on a tree. How she wished she can wipe off that smirk on his handsome face. Or was it mirth she was seeing in his eyes?

Her face turned bright red in embarrassment, he might be laughing at her talking to herself like that. And what’s more embarrassing is, she was talking to herself about her crush on him. “What are you doing back here?” she thanked herself for not stammering, trying to change the subject

He squared his shoulders, and with hands on his pockets he slowly walk towards her “I just want to make sure that what you said earlier was true” he said towering over her while looking at the broom in her hand

“As you can clearly see, I was trying to clean the place” she put a little sarcasm in her voice to cover up what she really is feeling inside “If that’s the only reason you’re here, then you can eave now” she continued, she wanted him to leave immediately, his presence is distracting the hell out of her

“Actually, that’s the only reason why I went here, but because I heard something interesting, I changed my mind. Meet me at the practice room after you’re done here, I’ll wait for you there.”

Her forehead creased “It might be about the song arrangement” she thought “Okay. See you later” she nodded after a while

--

“So tell me, is it true that you have a crush on me?” a suppressed smile was lurking on Yonghwa’s lips. They are now in CNBLUE’s practice room and surprisingly, no one except them were there at the moment.

Campus Crush 7

Part 7

Yonghwa approached Joohyun before the last beat of the song, gave her his guitar pick and instructed her to strum it on his guitar strings.

While she was at it, she held Yonghwa’s piercing gaze with newfound excitement as she felt the strings trembled from the pick’s touch. She has mastered the piano and learned violin from her mom but for some reason the guitar has always been interesting. She enclosed the pick tightly with her hands place it near her beating heart as the music come to an end.

Yonghwa grinned at her, he placed his guitar on its stand and made his way in front of her. “You play these things?” he asked running his fingers on the keyboard.

Joohyun nodded in response. She felt the pick’s dull edges poked her soft palm, she opened her clasped hand and tried to return his pick but he refused saying it’s a gift. She smiled, mumbled a thank you and secured it inside her bag.

“I hope you can allow us to hear your favorite piece” Yonghwa smiled at her, turned on the keyboard and motioned her to play.

Joohyun looked around the room, she didn’t know when it happened but all are somewhat in pairs now. Hyoyeon and Jungshin are seated side by side, and obviously flirting with each other. Tiffany and Minhyuk are standing near the drums and she can sense a shy aura around them while conversing. Jonghyun was towering over Jessica who was seated and giving Jonghyun a distasteful look after hearing what he said, she saw him smirked and they started to argue but it seems like they are enjoying themselves than arguing.

And lastly them, Seo Joohyun and Jung Yonghwa, between them is the keyboard ready to be caressed by her fingers and produced beautiful music. She sighed, no one seems to notice the two of them, her eyes flew back to Yonghwa whose eyes bored on her and she felt her heart thumped harder on her chest, a surge of warm feeling on her cheeks and she knew she was blushing. She averted her gaze to the waiting keyboard, and started to play, it is better to play than to get drowned in his piercing but soulful and beautiful eyes.

The moment Joohyun played, the whole room listened and was captivated but not as captivated or captured as Yonghwa.

Yonghwa stared in awe, as her slender fingers in fluid motion caressed the keyboard and made soothing sounds. The late afternoon light that peeked in from the window at her back shone and gave off just the right amount of light to captivate a beautiful picture. He felt his chest, afraid his heart might burst or literally ran to the prettiest girl he has ever laid eyes on. He was so into it that he didn’t know the music has ended.

Seohyun looked up at the awe stricken Yonghwa after the piece. She was waiting for his comments but it hasn’t come which made her uneasy “Was it weird? But I think I played okay” she thought to herself, a little disappointed and insecure

Jungshin stood and walked towards his hyung, he pushed his jaw up to a close and whispered to his ear “Hyung stop embarrassing yourself. It pains me” he snickers and walked away just before a smack could land at the occipital portion of his head.

Yonghwa clapped his face bright red “Wow! You’re a genius!” he covered up for his trance “Right guys?!” he looked back and glared at his members, who took pity on him and helped

“Yes, you really played well Joohyun-ssi” Minhyuk clicked his sticks together for what seems like applause, drummer style.

“Yes, good enough to be a solo pianist or become a member of a band” even the burning Jonghyun helped

Yonghwa stared at Jungshin whose eyes has a playful mirth, a smirk on his face always spelled trouble, Yonghwa felt like it was eternity when the maknae started to produce words “Why play as a soloist, it’s a bore. You can play with us if you like. We need a keyboardist, right hyung?”

Yonghwa puffed out a relieved sigh when Jungshin talked but it was short lived, as the implications in his words hit him like lightning. How can he perform at his best if he is distracted? His eyes roamed around looking at those expectant faces, he sighed and made a decision “She can play with us as a guest keyboardist when we play their song” he motioned his hand to the trio

“It’s a great idea!” Hyo exclaimed Tiffany and Jessica nodded. They gave their song pieces to Yonghwa.

“Oh and If you seek Amy? Hmnn, nice choice of songs, I’ll arrange this tonight to have a slight rock feel on it so that we can play it for you, I can do this for a night but school stuff gets in the way, so I’ll hand it to you after two days.” Yonghwa said. The girls agreed to meet after two days in the same practice room and excused themselves.

They practiced three more songs and CNBLUE is done for the day.

--

Joohyun dressed in her pink set of pajamas sat on the edge of her bed, she stared on the wall blankly and sighed, on her hand is a book, she was reading a particular page again and again for 30 minutes but didn’t understand a thing. She closed the book in frustration. This has not happened before, nothing can distract her while reading, her tiny little world was invaded by an alien called Yonghwa. She reached out for her bag and look for the guitar pick he gave earlier.

She let her back touch the cottony soft bed and held the pick in front of her face. The blue pick has CNBLUE name on it, she flipped it on the other side “Yonghwa” she read, she ran the tips of her fingers on the letters of his name. She felt her heart flutter.

She might be innocent when it comes to boys but she is not naïve. She is not called the smartest girl in their class for nothing. She knew she found him interesting and attractive, and though she doesn’t want to accept it to herself yet she knew she; Seo Joohyun has come to like, for the very first time in her life a boy, named Jung Yonghwa.

She stood lazily and head to the master’s bedroom. Her parents on their bed with lamps on, both are reading. Her mother averted her gaze as she felt her presence. “Yes dear?” her solemn and loving voice made her father look up expectantly

She crawled between her parents like she used to as a child. “Oh!” her parents were surprised but pleased, she can tell. They missed their only daughter, their kid daughter. A smile spreads on her lips.

The kid in her was rekindled as she saw their reaction “Omma, Appa” she spoke in a perfect nasal tone, doing her perfect aegyo. And she saw her mom’s face softened and her dad pinched her cheek.

“What is it my princess?” her dad said while putting his book on the bedside table.

She sighed and look at the expectant faces of her parents “Mom, I want to learn a lot about someone, I want to read that person’s autobiography but it’s impossible”

“Did I just buy Ban Ki Moon’s autobiography for you? You want another one? What’s the name? I’ll buy it for you” her dad answered

“Why is it impossible dear?” her mom asked, completely ignoring her dad’s statement, she sensed that there’s something bothering their angel

Joohyun smiled, feeling completely loved. She salutes her mom to always know what she meant or how she feels “I met someone today, someone I want to read. I wish that someone has a published autobiography”

A knowing smile stated to curve on her mother’s lips “You wanted to know more about this person that’s why you wanted to read that person’s autobiography?” she asked carefully, trust her daughter to spill the beans on them in an unusual way “By any chance, is this someone a boy?” her mother’s eyes gleamed

“You wanted to get to know a boy more?!” her dad’s eyes widened, surprise, protectiveness and jealousy was mixed in his voice.

Her mom gave her dad the look, tapped his hand that is on Joohyun’s silky black hair to calm him and motioned him to relocate.

He sighed deeply and nodded, he stood and left the room “I’ll be at the study room if you need me” he shook his head as he opened the door “My baby has grown up.” He whispered to himself “But what’s with the girl talk?” he muttered, gave his lovely ladies one last look before he left

Joohyun and her mom giggled after her father pressed the door close. “He’s just concerned and a little jealous” her mom guided her to sit in front of the dresser, reached for a hair brush and started to comb her daughter’s hair. “Now, start from the first meeting” their eyes met on the mirror, her mom smiled gently. “My daughter has grown up fast, aigoo” she said while preparing herself to listen attentively

Campus Crush 6

PART 6

Jonghyun studied his watch again, his eyebrows furrowed. He headed to their practice room door when it dramatically opened. “Yah! Do you think I have much time to spare?!” he yelled, expecting the other members to suffice

Jessica stood dumbfounded in front of the opened door, she was in a sour mood for changing practice rooms and now she got to be yelled like this? Her right eyebrow started to rise as she looked at the cocky guy inside the room “And do you think I wanted to be here?!” she retorted

Jonghyun looked at her in surprise, he studied her petite form and doll-like face and a corner of his mouth curved. “Another pretty face.” he muttered to himself

“Cute dimple” she thought as she saw that smirk, but as if adding oil to fire she heard him mutter something “What did you just say?!” she stormed inside the room, her hands on her hips ready for battle

He looked at her feigning innocence “Did I just say something?” he smirked sarcastically making Jessica breathe fire. She was about to fire bullet words on him when the rest of the gang entered the room

The gang stared at them in confusion. A palpable tension was all over the room that made them transfer glances from Jonghyun and Jessica.

Yonghwa walked inside the room and gave the girls a chair “Here, here. Take your seat gals! You’re our VIP visitors here” he said trying to ease the tension

Hyo walked near Jessica and dragged her to her seat while the last glowers over Jonghyun.

Yonghwa gathered his group in a small circle “What was that?” he started in a hush tone while glaring at Jonghyun

Jonghyun sighed “I was a little irritated because you’re like an hour late?” he said his voice biting

“We’re sorry, it’s just that…” Yonghwa started to explain but was interrupted

“Yeah, yeah. You were busy collecting hot chicks. I know” Jonghyun rolled his eyes and look at the girls who gathered near the keyboard.

Yonghwa gritted his teeth, trying his best to stay calm. They are at fault for being late, he knew that, and he is not going to start a fight over that with these girls around.

“Hyung, we’re sorry” Jungshin apologized profusely “Let’s not fight and just have fun. Okay? Let’s look at it at the bright side”

“What bright side? That you’re already here after an hour of being late?”

Jungshin winced “Well… That I think Jessica has the HOTS for you.” their eyes flew to Jessica, who is still giving Jonghyun death glare. They sniggered, the conflict magically left them. as expected Jungshin always have smart-ass comments at everything to ease the groups tension.

Yonghwa nodded at Jonghyun who smiled back. “We’ll start off with Geek in the Pink then I’m a Loner after that let’s have a short break.” The boys nodded in confirmation “Let’s show these girls we can rock.” He extended his hand, the boys followed suit “CNBLUE… fighting!” they never do it before practice but because they have audiences, then it wouldn’t hurt.

Minhyuk sat in front of his drums, drumsticks on hand. Jonghyun, Yonghwa and Jungshin picked up their electric guitars and bass, throw the sling over their head and turned on their electric gadgets. Yonghwa stood in front of the standing microphone. He stared at Seohyun who sat in front of the keyboard and the other girls in front of him. Their eyes full of anticipation.

“We’ll play 2 songs first and then we’ll discuss your number during the break” he looked at the 3 girls simultaneously. They give him an okay sign.

Tiffany and Minhyuk exchanged eye smiles after Yonghwa instructed Minhyuk to give the count. “One, two, three” he counted with his drum sticks, and the room started to fill with music. Yonghwa’s husky voice resonated in the room “(do do do...)Well let the geek in the pink take a stab at it. If you like the way I'm thinkin' baby wink at it……” he winked at Joohyun who blushed profusely

“I’m the geek in the pink” Yonghwa finished, as soon as the music stopped the girls applauded

“Jungshin! Jungshin! Jungshin!” Hyo chanted which garnered a blow on the back from Jessica

Tiffany smiled quietly at Minhyuk who shyly scratched the back of his head after the performance

Jonghyun let a full blown smile on his face complete with dimples on at Jessica who just rolled her eyes on him. His smile widened as she did that “How cute” he thought

While Yonghwa stared at the girl who busied herself touching the keyboard while stealing quick glances at him and blushed because she got caught. He smiled “How cute!” he thought. He sighed “Our next song is I’m a loner”

“Yooooooooong!!” Seohyun’s scream echoed from the bathroom throughout the whole house or maybe the whole neighborhood like a fire truck serine after she heard a strange pop and a sudden gush of clear warm liquid ran past her legs and onto the floor. She felt an odd sensation cramping from her stomach radiating to her back. Her doctor has instructed them that if the BOW ruptures, they should give her a call immediately. She attempted to call Yonghwa again but it got caught in her throat, she curled and she had to clutch the toilet bowl beside her to keep from screaming her lungs out. A cramp had struck her so brutally that she could hardly breathe. It seemed hours before the pain ebbed and there was already a damp veil of sweat on her forehead

Yonghwa looked up, startled. The second time he heard Seohyun scream was the time he stood making the guitar he was tuning slide off his lap. It fell on the floor with a hollow thud, he ignored it and stormed to her direction swiftly “Hyun?!!” his eyes wide after he saw his lovely wife dressed in white, his eyes flew from her obvious baby bump to her terrified eyes. "Oh my god, Hyun what happened?" She was so pale and in such obvious pain that he felt his knees tremble. He instinctively reached for her hand and felt its coldness

“My water just broke! We’re having the baby NOW!!” Seohyun yelled loudly. They were expecting their first born a week from now.

Yonghwa’s mouth fell open as he assessed the slimy sticky clear fluid underneath Seohyun’s feet. He touched her inner thigh to make sure it was coming from her.

Seohyun’s face distorted from pain “Yah! I’ve packed the things needed, it’s inside the nursery.” She struggled as words came out her mouth

Upon confirmation, Yonghwa felt at lost. He watched his wife’s face as it contorts in pain that he winced. With his panic stricken face he paced from Seohyun to the nursery and back, not knowing what to do.

She looked at her husband’s expression “GET ME TO THE HOSPITAL!! PALI!!” she saw him fumbled with the car keys and she knew he was not fit to drive “Call an ambulance for pete’s sake and don’t forget the OB!” her nice self has been abandoned due to pain

Inside the ambulance, Yonghwa didn’t know where to place his hands to comfort Seohyun. His hands traveled from her distorted face to her baby bump. He tapped a towel on Seohyun’s sweaty face with shaky cold and clammy hand. In contrast to it he whispered to her ear with much conviction “We can do this Juhyun” his right hand has become limp because of her tight grasp. “Hyun, purse-lip breathing!” his clouded and worried mind remembered the Lamaze Class they enrolled for the past months of her pregnancy “HEE HEE HOO, HEE HEE HOO!” he started in which she followed through until they reached the hospital.

The nurses struggled to transfer her to the waiting stretcher. They heard the medic’s frantic endorsement as they make their way inside the ER. “Jung Juhyun, 26 y.o. Gravida 1. Vital signs Temperature: 37.2 degrees Celsius, Pulse: 98, Respiration: 22bpm, BP: 120/90 mmHg. Active phase of labor, 7-8 cm cervical opening, 0 fetal station. Her contraction interval was getting shorter, it’s duration longer and the intensity of pain increased.”

Seohyun tried to speak but another pain struck her breathless, enabling her to speak another word. Her OB approached her after donning gloves and did an internal examination. “8-9 cm guys! Direct to Delivery room!”

Yonghwa placed his hands on her shoulder to ease her pain but she screamed. "Don't touch me. You will never lay a finger on me ever again. This is all your fault!"

He froze “Please bear with it Hyun” he tried consoling her. Seohyun tried breathing in and out but the pain was getting stronger and stronger making it harder for her to take a quick breathe. She groaned and moaned in pain when the nurses brought her towards the DR. She tightly gripped her husband’s hand as she fought the strong urge to cry and curse everyone for the pain that she had to experience. “Don’t leave me”

Yonghwa was instructed to change into a sterile gown, DR slippers and a bonnet.

"Hyun I'm here. Breathe." Yonghwa coed and wiped the perspiration off her face as soon as he came back to her side. He breathed in and out urging his wife to do the same. “Hee Hee Hoo, Hee Hee Hoo!”

On the delivery table, nurses guided her legs for the stirrups, did a perineal preparation, and draped her. Seohyun felt her insides were ripping, she held Yonghwa’s hand tighter and tighter as she started pushing.

Yonghwa never felt s terrified his entire life. For a moment he felt afraid for Seohyun’s life, he have never seen anyone in so much pain. And it killed him that he has to witness his wife suffer.

The moment the OB went inside fully prepared for the delivery, donned her sterile glove, Yonghwa felt slightly relieved. He saw her inspect Seohyun perineum and said “I can see, Mrs. Jung! The baby’s crowning! Listen well to instructions okay. Grip the rails attached on the DR table” the nurse assisted her hand to the rails “Yes that’s it. Your chin on your chest and remember to rest in between contractions. Make your pushes long and hard, when the pain starts take a deep breath, purse your lip and push it down” The OB put her hand over her stomach and tried to stimulate contractions by massaging it. “Okay, it’s starting! Take a deep breath!” she yelled as soon as she felt her stomach started to hardened

Seohyun’s face turned bright red, she never worked this hard in her entire life and she groaned with effort. It seemed to take forever but the doctor finally grinned and held up a hand. "The baby's crowning..come on Mrs.Jung.PUSH!"

She tried again, a lot harder this time and the baby moved another inch or so. Yonghwa felt tears welling in his eyes. They're finally having his first baby with the woman he deeply loves.

"Come on Hyun, you can do it..Aa few more push." He urged on, gently squeezing her hands. She was pushing as though her life, their life depended on it. And with a final strong push the head finally came free, the OB expertly maneuvered the baby’s body and guided it outside the elastic cervics, she put the baby on the nurse’s waiting hands, just above Seohyun draped stomach. “Baby out! Time is…” the OB looked at the wall clock just above Hyun’s head “1:11 PM” A loud wail filled the whole room.

The OB clamped the baby’s cord and called Yonghwa “Mr.Jung, please do the honor” she said her eyes smiling while looking at him. She handed him the sterile bandage scissors and with trembling hands he cut the cord.

The nurse then transferred the baby to a crib for immediate newborn care.

The doctor grinned, the nurses laughed. Seohyun and Yonghwa cried in happiness. Smiling and laughing through their tears.

“What is it?” She whispered, exhaustion and happiness shown on her face. She could see her baby’s angry, red and crunched up face.

“It’s a girl!” the nurse called out, her hands still full in taking care of the newborn. After dressing the newborn up, she handed it to the proud father “7.3 pounds and a very healthy baby girl. Good job Mrs. Jung!” she patted Hyun’s shoulder.

Yonghwa smiled brightly as he looked at his daughter’s face. He faced his eager wife and handed her their baby “Latch-on to promote mother-son bond” the nurse said as she cleaned Seohyun pinkish nipple with a wet cotton. Seohyun’s tears once again fell freely on her cheeks as they watch their daughter tried to feed herself some mother’s milk. "Our angel, mom and dad love you." She smiled and looked at her husband with love filled eyes

Truly their Jung Ji Hyun is an angel in human form.

Hyun Choding

Yonghwa has been flipping and turning on his bed for the past minutes trying to sleep but his eyes were disobedient. His mind wander to the pretty woman next door and his heart did the summersault. His eyes traveled on the thin walls of the beautiful inn, with its serene ambiance and a can of beer/non-alcoholic beer they had been honest to each other. Spilling all bottled emotions, expectations and disappointments inside. Being a triple A, as Jonghyun has said, it was harder than planting gogumas on a hectare of land all by himself. And he knew Hyun was the same or maybe a bit more. He can say he knows her well to the amazement and/or annoyance of some because she is partly him, minus the mischief and playfulness. And what struck him in their heart to heart talk was when she told him she’d changed, she was changed all because of him. His heart swelled hearing those words from her, and from acknowledging it, he knew she has been thinking about it a lot, thinking about him a lot. A smile broke on his face, he reached for his smile lines and massaged it, it always comes in handy thanks to Jungshin.

He heard a soft laugh from the other side of the room that made him sprang up “Hyun is still awake” he whispered to himself a little giddy. He tiptoed his way to her room, afraid of waking up their crew whose room was just adjacent to theirs. He knocked softly on her door but no one responded “Was it just my imagination?” he just asked himself when he heard another soft laugh. “Hyun! Hyun!” He knocked and tried calling her name in a whisper and again no one responded. He opened the door and there he saw her sitting on the porch, both legs are wrapped around her embrace, her chin on her knees, her eyes were closed as she listens on something that makes her giddily laugh on her earphones. It seems like she is not aware of his presence yet. Curiously he tiptoed and close their distance, he studied her face, the beautiful smile that spreads on it and the occasional laugh that escapes her throat, his curiosity deepened, earlier he thought she was talking to someone on her phone but now that he’s closer he assessed that the earphones were connected to the MP3 that was lying on the floor. His forehead creased in confusion and without realizing his head moved closer to hers, his left ear to her right ear trying to hear what makes her giddily happy that it’s making him jealous. “God only knows what this girl is thinking” he thought

-

Seohyun sat on the opened porch after their serious talk. She can’t possibly sleep from all those talk, right? It makes her happy that finally, someone was able to open up her heart and her mind freely. Bottling up all emotions suits fine with her but she hadn’t know how good it feels to actually let it flow. She has been thinking a lot these days, and she was in denial at first but reality caught up with her and acknowledging it is the only way to calm her shaken heart, and boy was she glad to do just that. Seeing how happy it made him, a smile broke her face. She put her earphones on and pressed play, the music starts playing on her ear that made her giggle, she pressed replay, closed her eyes and listen to every single word to it, hearing this particular song always tug her heartstrings. The song played again and again as a soft laugh and giggle pass through her throat, oblivious to her surroundings. She suddenly felt an ear brushed to hers. She jumped in surprise, her wide eyes adjusted to the darkness and stared to the equally surprised Yonghwa “What…” she saw him put a finger on his lips and realized she has to keep it low. “What are you doing here? Why didn’t you knock?” she asked now in a whisper

“I did knock. I even called your name twice but obviously you did not hear it. What were you listening anyway? Making you all smile and laugh like that?” he whispered back, he reached for her earphones

Seohyun flinched, trying to take the mp3 player and turn it off, but as expected, Yonghwa was faster than her. She blushed from the tips of her hair to her toes in embarrassment as he shot her a knowing look and a mischievous smile on his face. A glint of understanding sparked in his eyes “Is my song that funny?” he feigned ignorance and hurt but Seohyun knows him well enough to see he’s playing around again

“Yes and no” she answered, collecting all the courage she can muster, she can tell he knew something, so better yet say it once and for all. “No I don’t find it funny and yes it can make me laugh because it reminds me of you.” She answered wholeheartedly while thanking the darkness of the room, she touched her warm face, trying to look straight his eyes

His eyes danced with mirth “Are you trying to say you have a crush on me?” a half meant joke escaped his curved lips

She sighed “Call it whatever you like, it doesn’t matter” the nonchalance in her voice surprised her as she was feeling way more different. The butterflies in her stomach, the fast beating of her heart, the cold sweats on her palms was saying otherwise. She watched his reactions changed from playful to serious. Now her mind readies itself for a rejection.

Yonghwa gazed at Seohyun’s sincerity. He knew something was up but he didn’t want to be presumptuous so he tried to joke around with her. One can’t know how surprised he was with her statement, or should he call it confession? This is so not Seohyun! His mind was screaming at him, but because she is Seohyun, then he should take her seriously. He sat comfortably beside her, they shared earphones and listened to the replayed song LOVE LIGHT. After the second replay he swallowed hard and said “Where is the CD that I gave you earlier?”

“It’s in my bag. Why?” the walls of self preservation were almost finished and he asked her that? The moment she sat beside her in silence, she thought he was constructing a sentence of rejection, the one that would hurt less once he said it, but she was asked about some random CD? How could that be? What is exactly in that head of yours Jung Yonghwa? She sighed.

He smiled as he sees Seohyun fidgets “The single I don’t know why, I was the composer.”

She stared of him in confusion and disbelief. Here she was fidgety and nervously waiting for his reply after her confession but he wanted to talk about his composition? But she answered anyway “W-well, yeah, I read about it earlier too.” Her mouth pouted and her nose flared

Yonghwa wanted to pinch her nose as she unknowingly do her mannerisms, although he finds it really cute, he knew she wanted to say something but held it in. “I was thinking of you while I wrote the lyrics, just like love light”

Her eyes flew from the dark sky she was staring at a few seconds ago to Yonghwa who is now back to his usual playful self. The mirth on his eyes and those mischievous curves on his lips that she started to love was back “Don’t lie!” tension started to ease as she studied his face

“I’m not. That song was how I felt while thinking of you at that time” he answered coolly his eyes on the moon

“Hmmnn, you don’t have to impress me you know. I already have crush on you so..” they say couples are starting to be alike and now she believes it, copying how the cool Yonghwa acts is easier than she thought. She chuckled at her own silliness

“Waahh!” his eyes widened at her imitation, and then he smiled tenderly “I was actually saying I have a crush on you too”

No, she did not faint, she just sat there frozen for about 20 seconds or maybe more, she’s not sure. She just looked at him. He clapped to get her attention, clicked his fingers in front of her face, he even danced awkwardly but she’s somewhere else. Then he gave her a light peck on her gaping mouth. She blinked her eyes.

“Hi, welcome back to Earth” he said smiling

“Did you just kissed me?” she whispered, she felt her lips

“Me? Kiss you? Nah! You must have been dreaming”

“Was I asleep?” confusion was written on her beautiful face

“You took a nap”

“Are you kidding me?” Yonghwa stifle a laugh. How cute can she get?

“Of course not! How could I?” after he stared at her for a couple of seconds, he smiled, stood and left her with his goodnight

Seohyun really felt Yonghwa kissed her. She can’t explain how it happened but what she is sure of was hearing him say he has a crush on her too and then she felt something that touched her mouth and she saw his face just a breath away from hers with this really wide grin. She shook her head, she has to be sure. Now it’s her turn to tiptoe her way to Yonghwa’s room. She knocked carefully and called out his name in a whisper “Yonghwa oppa”

He heard her from outside, he opened the sliding door and stood there in shock, his eyes wide and his mouth gaped at her.

As soon as the sliding door opened, she stands in her toes and planted a soft kiss on his unprepared lips. She nodded and felt the sensation on her lips, she touched it before she looked at his shocked expression “You did kiss me. Liar! Meeroong!” she turned her back on him hurriedly and closed her door. A giddy smile on her lips, couples are really alike. “Now I’m Hyun choding” she whispered to herself

Black Room Interview

Ep 32

PD: We can see that you really had fun during your trip in Japan. Yonghwa said that you like it when his fringe is down but we reviewed all our clips, we were not able to capture it.

Hyun: Ah! De, I did tell him that, but outside WGM, we were not filming. (Suppressed smile a smile)

Yong: We were not filming, it was from one of our talks over the phone

PD: What were you thinking when she loosens her hair for you?

Yong: (laughed shyly) It was like in those movies, like she did it in slow motion. And the only thing I can do is look at her in awe. I liked it (chuckled to cover his shyness)

Hyun: It was on instinct. I suddenly felt like pleasing him. That was why I did that. (Face blooming)

PD: Where are you taking her? (to Yonghwa)

Yong: There’s a temple, where bulletin boards are everywhere. I heard that the temple is famous for dorming ties for couples (a shy smile full of meaning spreads his face) So it’s really a meaningful place, so… (looks down shyly)

PD: Where did you think Yonghwa would take you? (to Seohyun)

Hyun: I am not really familiar with the place so I was just relying on Yong Nampyeon. I was not expecting him to know such a place and I am really glad that he has chosen such a meaningful place for us to go

PD: You were a bit awkward when you chose the tablets with a pink flower on it

Hyun: (laughed) Yes it was awkward, I don’t know if fate was toying with us at that moment. I chose the one for married couple, who is wishing for a healthy baby and safe labor, otoke?! (fanned her flushed face) It’s a good thing he maintained a straight face or else I would be so embarrassed

Yong: (let out a mischievous smile) It’s such a coincidence! How could we wish a healthy baby and safe delivery?! We decided to write on a tablet with a horse on it. It has good meaning, I wish our relationship to grow and last for a long time (he said seriously after a hearty laugh)

PD: You chose the one for good affinity?

Hyun: (nodded) De, I wish our relationship would blossom and last for a very long time! ( spreads her arms to indicate her point)

PD: Why were you shocked when the door opened by itself?

Yong: I was actually reaching out to open it myself, when it opened automatically. (laughed at his own silliness)

Hyun: I was actually surprised myself, I was not expecting it to automatically open basing on its appearance. (laughed) Who would’ve thought

Pd: How did you find the place?

Yong: The place is a bit old when you look at its appearance outside, but the interior is amazing

Hyun: I was in awe. The garden outside our porch is beyond beautiful.

PD: You had fun taking those Selcas during dinner

Yong: De, I usually play like that with my CNBLUE dongsaengs.

Hyun: De, we took a lot of pictures, it was really fun (smiles)

PD: CNBLUE is quiet popular in Japan

Yong: (shy) De, thanks to You’re beautiful.

Hyun: De, I’m proud of him, even the owner’s granddaughter is their fan (smiles) They’re our sunbaes in the Japan market so… (Nods)

PD: It’s the first time that you suggested to drink alcohol

Yong: (smiles) It was still early, it’s a given to drink late at night, out-of-town with friends/ GF/family, so I suggested it. But I was not going to let her drink alcohol, I promised not to put dirt on her.

PD: We knew you don’t like drinking alcohol, what made you agree?

Hyun: I was surprised at first, and I have to think twice. But I trust Yong Oppa. So I agreed, and I was not mistaken, he ordered non-alcoholic drink for me. I’m glad

PD: So was that the reason why you initiated skinship?

Hyun: (chuckles shyly) I was actually thinking of how to initiate skinship the moment I laid my eyes on him in Japan but I don’t know how and where to start. I need a good timing. (Sighed) Tiffany unnie said I should put my arms around his waist. Taeyeon unnie told me to just grab his hand and walk as if it’s normal. But I can’t just do that!(her cheeks flushed) I tried little skinship here and there first, until the right moment came, I just hooked my arms on his and never let go (she felt her burning cheeks) But I have no regrets in doing that. It felt good (sighed) walking like that in the middle of the night, it made me think, ah.. we really are a couple. (her eyes sparkled)

PD: You look stiff

Yong: (laughed shyly) I know. I was surprised with the sudden act that I became stiff, my heart was thumping hard at that moment. (laughs) Rather than linking arms like this (gesturing a stiff arm linking) A man should put his hand on his pocket and a woman links her arm with his. After the initial shock I readjusted my arm, and put my hand on my pocket. Isn’t that cool? That’s a Busan namja style.

CUPID (Finale)

Its 20 minutes passed midnight, Yonghwa looked around at the almost empty park confused, he felt his head, trying to jug memory but failed. He has been in that park for over 30 minutes and he still does not remember a thing. Frustrated, he walk at the nearby train station, an odd feeling has been going around his stomach, aside from his lost memory, he knew he has to search something but he can’t point a finger on it.

As he wander around the train station, the woman that passed him by dropped her wallet, he hurriedly pick it up and chased her.

“Excuse me miss” she turned as he called her “I think this belongs to you” he said as he handed the wallet to her

“OMO! Thank you!” she bowed to him “I don’t know what to do if I lose it.” She said grateful, she studied the young man in front of him, he looks like early 20’s to her “I’m Ji Hyun. You?” she extends a handshake

While reaching out for her hand, his forehead creased, he felt the name has an odd familiarity in it “I’m…” he tries to remember his name “I don’t know, I can’t remember a thing” he informed

Shocked and concerned she answered “Look, I’m in a rush right now for my work, can you tag along?” she asked

Without much choice, he nodded a small smile spread on his handsome face “You’re the only one I know as of the moment.”

She nodded and led the way to a convenience store nearby. She rushed to change for her uniform after she instructed him to sit and wait for a while.

While working, she chatted with him, she gave him the address of the nearest police station “Go there, it seems like you have a loved one who might report that you’re missing.” She said pointing at his ring

He looked at the ring and for some reason, his confused mind went at ease while staring at it. A smile adorned his face “Yeah, you’re right” he stood and left after thanking her

--

“I’ve already uploaded your picture and descriptions in our data list, it is visible all over Korea now. Don’t worry too much.” He tapped his shoulder.

Yonghwa studied the man and on instinct he asked suddenly “Do you have a wife?”

The policeman laughed, slightly surprised but answered “I have none” he wagged his ring less hands

“Girlfriend?” Yonghwa asked again, somehow he felt that this guy and the girl earlier are meant for each other. He can’t explain it even to himself but the strong feeling made him ask questions unknowingly.

Officer Jungsoo shook his head “Let’s have a bite. It seems like you’re hungry” he put his arm on Yonghwa’s shoulder and dragged him outside the police station

“I knew a girl earlier, she was the one who gave me directions. I think we can eat there” Yonghwa suggested. He wanted them to meet, his instincts told him they’d like each other. The officer agreed.

Yonghwa pushed the glass door and greeted Ji Hyun. He introduced the two and as expected, their sexual tension is too strong he felt it through the air, they are attracted to each other. He felt a sense of fulfillment as he saw them smile shyly and in a little while they became at ease and chatted, exchanged numbers and promised to keep in contact.

--

SME has been busy preparing for a press conference. They called all the major TV stations in Korea and invited reporters.

Seohyun was pacing around the waiting room anxiously while her unnies console her. But contrary to what they assumed, she is not worried about the press conference, her mind is wandering to where Yonghwa is. She is worried of what might have happened to him. “Yong” she called loudly while looking up. She saw her unnies shared a confused look. “Yong!” she tried again but nothing happened “Maybe he doesn’t want to appear in front of my unnies” she appeased herself and looked at each of them directly to their eyes. She needs to be honest, they need to know. She contemplated the thought for several minutes until she decided to tell them.

“Unnie” she started “Do you believe in magic?” she saw them smile as though they were trying to tolerate her silliness

“Seohyun-ah” Taeyeon ran her fingers through her hair “This is not the time for talking about magic or fairy tales” she said tenderly

“No, this is the time. I need to know if you believe in those kinds of things” she told them, she saw some shook their heads “I’m not going nuts unnie, it’s true.”

“Well maybe I do” Hyoyeon said “I used to be, until I realized magic doesn’t exist” her unnies nodded in agreement

“Fair enough, I used to be like that.” Seohyun answered “Until Yonghwa came along” she finished

“Oh, I get it!” Tiffany clapped her hands “The magic of love”

“Oh that.” Yuri exclaimed “Yeah love is like magic” she smiled dreamily

“Well, that and more. Yonghwa is a Cupid, he was sent for me. He was assigned to find me a perfect pair” she told them

She heard them chuckled thinking that she was kidding them, but as they look at her serious face it started to cease

“Chungmal?!” Yoona exclaimed her eyes bulging in disbelief. Seohyun nodded and she saw them in awe

“I’m going to call him, so please brace yourselves” she stood and started calling his name “Yong! Yong Oppa! It’s alright to show yourself, I already told my unnies about you. Oppa!” she yelled

A swirl of pink light came in view to her unnies’ astonishment, but who came in view was not the one expected. Seohyun gave her a confused look “Where is Yonghwa oppa?” she asked frantically

Cupid Shin Hye sighed and studied each faces before she answered “Don’t worry, Yonghwa oppa is fine.”

“So what exactly did you do to him?” she asked again now in the verge of panic

“The elders has come to the consensus that Yonghwa has lost his way, so they’ve sent him to the path towards following his destiny”

“You know what this Cupid speech is not really working for me, I need straight answers” Seohyun said in a controlled voice. This is what she feared the most

“They erased his memory, placed him back on Earth as a mortal, somewhere you’ll never find him.” Shin Hye informed. Seohyun froze, she felt like crying but no tears fell from her eyes, it was as if her tear ducts went dry.

“What?! He doesn’t remember anything? He doesn’t remember Seohyun?!” Hyoyeon reacted

“Not even being a Cupid” Shin Hye gave them a regretful look

“That’s crazy! You don’t have the right to wipe out someone’s mind, an entire life, my life!” Seohyun said her tears started to fall as soon as she found her voice. Frustration, worry and anger all came in full force

“Yonghwa is not just someone, Seohyun, he’s a Cupid and he has responsibilities. He knew what it entails” Shin Hye tried to make them understand

“Yes, but he also chose to love me! And I know he won’t abandon me just like that if he had a choice” she answered, she wanted to control her anger but to her surprise she found it hard.

“Look, this is not an easy decision for us, we love Yonghwa in our world as much as you love him here.” Shin Hye remained diplomatic albeit her outburst “He was not killed or recycled, I hope you can take comfort in that”

“Wait, you just erased the memory of the love of my life and you want me to take comfort with what?! You have a lot of nerve lady.” She felt her head pounded with the rise of her temper. Her hand flew to her nape, she closed her eyes and breathe in and out to calm herself.

“Don’t lose hope” She said and disappeared. Her unnies might have been awed if they witnessed it without their present dilemma.

“There must be something we can do to find him!” Sooyoong said as soon as she’s gone

“But how? What if they don’t want him to be found?” Jessica answered

“She did not say that, she said it’s up to him. There must be a chance for them to be together” Sunny stood and paced

Seohyun sat on the nearby chair, her knees felt weak. She put her hands on her face and sighed deeply “Yong oppa” she whispered

“But first, there’s…..” Taeyeon’s sentence was cut short because their manager oppa called them out, the press conference is about to start.

They stood up and guided the still dazed Seohyun and gave her their support. “We’re here Seohyun-ah, don’t worry.”

Seohyun should be the only one in the press conference but her unnies insisted on coming with her. As soon as the door flung open the blinding lights from the cameras flashed on them. As if awoken by the flashes, Seohyun blinked and bowed lightly before she sat on the seat reserved for her.

--

Yonghwa gave way for Ji Hyun and Jungsoo to know each other well. He sat on the counter and stuffed himself with food when a man sat one seat away from him. “I see you’re a natural” CC Jake started, disguised as mortal

He looked at him in confusion “Me?” he pointed himself.

CC Jake nodded “Yeah, a natural match maker” he pointed the two.

Yonghwa nodded in understanding “Yeah, it’s strange but it seems rather familiar.”

“I heard you’d lost your memory. You must be a match maker by profession. Maybe you are someone who has a sense of purpose, someone who spreads love all over the Earth” CC Jake said naturally “If you want you can join us”

“Us?” Yonghwa asked now confused

“Yeah, a match makers organization” he informed

Yongwa’s eyes flew at the TV placed high above the corner of the convenience store when the drama that was airing earlier was interrupted by breaking news, he saw 9 beautiful girls entered the hall. But his eyes are glued to only one. Her beautiful face shows a lot of emotions; fear, sadness, frustration and love. As soon as she sat, the camera zoomed to her face, Yonghwa looked at her misty eyes, he felt her eyes are oddly familiar and it seems like she was looking at him, conveying a message to him. His heart started to flutter uncontrollably. “She’s so beautiful” he said now CC Jake was fully ignored.

Yonghwa saw clips of her holding a man’s hand, they made the man’s face blur for his privacy they said. He looked at her beaming face on the picture, it seems like she was having fun with whoever was in the picture with her. Her eyes sparkled and her face slightly flushed, a bright smile adorned her face.

--

Seohyun bowed before she sat and started to say the script that was given to her by SME. She conceals her emotions for the camera.

“Hello everyone, thank you for sacrificing your hours of sleep just to come here.” She bowed “I’m really sorry for the chaos I’d caused” she sighed and continued “T-the guy I am with, in that picture is my c-cousin” she tried hard not to stutter but failed, she is not a good liar to start with. She felt the lump on her throat thickened as she saw pictures of her and Yonghwa who was intentionally made blur walking in the amusement park happily. Her tears started to form “We went there b-because h-he is going away f-for a…” she swallowed hard to control her tears “For a while s-so…” she lowered her head, tears are falling uncontrollably now, as she weeps, her gasps and cry are all that can be heard in that hall. Seohyun felt her unnie tapped her back and consoled her. She wiped her tars and looked straight to the camera with determined eyes. She looked at her unnies as if asking for a go signal, when she saw them nod, she looked at their manager oppas apologetically.

She sighed and cleared her throat “First I would like to apologize to SME for doing this, to our fans and to our manager oppas, I’m really sorry to disappoint you. This is the first scandal that I have and it pains me to see all of you affected by it. I’m really grateful for all your support but…” she paused “I don’t want to lie, to myself and to you guys who are supporting us. All I want is to be happy, we are all in titled to be in love at this age and it saddens me that we, idols, can’t freely express our love.” She looked at the shocked faces of the press people and her manager oppa “That guy is Yonghwa, my boyfriend. If you can’t accept the truth behind this matter, I am really sorry, but I won’t have a choice but to quit SNSD.” As they heard her last sentence media men swarmed and took photos of her. Even her unnies were shocked of her boldness, they did not expect her to say the Q word “I’m happy being with my unnies and being able to perform on stage for you guys but with these restrictions I don’t know if I or we can truly be happy.” Her eyes sparkled dreamily as she continued “I was really happy being with him. I felt free, no pretentions, no restrictions. I was just being myself, he loves me for being me and not the stereotypical idol image. I’d choose him over my career if needed. If you can’t accept my having a boyfriend, then I would happily leave the group, if you can, I’d be forever grateful and I’ll do my very best at anything.” She stood and bowed 90 degrees before she left.

--

As Yonghwa heard his name mentioned something in his memory jugged and he look at the girl on TV intently, his heart beating fast, his palms started to sweat as he listens to her speech. Memories of her started to flash in his mind. From the day they first met until the day in the amusement park. His heart throbs for her. He wiped the tears from his face and hurriedly asked Jungsoo to drive him to the train station. With urgency, he explained that he remembered something and that he needs t be in Seoul.

“There’s no need for that” CC Jake interrupted them, Yonghwa looked at him in surprise, he has forgotten all about him. “I’ll take you there” he offered

Yonghwa thanked his new friends and went away with CC Jake “I can see that you’ve chosen her” he said while they find a safe spot

“I can’t help it. I really love her.” he answered solemnly “I’m sorry” he apologised

“I want you to know that both of you passed the test and you have two choices. To remain as mortal and live on Earth, or to live as Cupids in our world. Either way, we will honor your decision” he said, they disappeared from that alley

Yonghwa was left alone by CC Jake inside the men’s comfort room. He can hear someone yelled Seohyun’s name. He went out hurriedly, just in time that Seohyun was fast approaching, with her face down, she hardly noticed him until he called “Hyun” he said his voice louder than a whisper as she walk passed him

Seohyun’s eyes lifted up suddenly and stopped her pace, she turned her head slowly, expectantly “Oppa? Yong Oppa?!” she stepped closer to him and hugged him tightly oblivious of the cameras that are around them.

Yonghwa hugged her tightly in return, he kissed her hair lightly “It’s okay Hyun-ah. I’m here now” he whispered as she cried on his shoulder

“I was so scared.” She sobbed

“It’s okay, it’s over now” he said “But there’s something important we need to talk about after this” He took her hand and guided her to their waiting room. Her unnies followed through.

Yonghwa acknowledged his sisters-in-law before he faced Seohyun and started to talk “Hyun, they said we passed the test. We have to chose though, whether to stay mortal and live here on Earth or to become Cupid, you’ll be converted into one of us, and live in our world” he cupped her face and looked at her lovingly

Seohyun looked at her unnies, they too were all confused, they don’t want to lose Seohyun but they don’t want to steal her from her happiness too.

“How about my family?” she stated

“We can visit them f course” Yonghwa answered “And them too” he motioned to her unnies

“What if I wanted to stay here as mortal?” she asked

“Then I’ll be mortal too. Live my life with you, find job” he squared his shoulders “Either way, we would still be together, our happy ever after.”

Seohyun beamed “I suppose it will depend on our fans. Whether they can accept us or not. If they do, we’ll stay mortal and I’ll continue SNSD.”

“If that happens, maybe I’ll put up a rock band, since I can play the guitar and sing” he chuckled

“But if they can’t, then we’ll go to your world” Seohyun answered, she cupped Yonghwa’s face and stared on it lovingly, she planted a soft kiss on his nose. “Komawo oppa. Saranghae.”

“Saranghae Hyun” Yonghwa locked her in a tight embrace

--

Who says all is fair in love? You fell first, you shoulder the burden. It should be easy after all she knows him real well. She knows his weaknesses and strengths but how come she had not scored a bit since planning stage?

--

Months after they were virtually married she can say he knew him well. His perks, quirkiness, likes and dislikes. She has been attentive when it comes to him, she knew his schedules well and monitors it every time she gets. She has admitted long ago to herself and to her unnies that she likes him. And she is doing a good job concealing her feelings, just like her unnies suggested, at least until the right time comes.

But when is the right time? She has been asking herself that same question as she lay down on her bed to sleep. Hyoyeon said to wait for signs that he likes her back, it has been months but he has been the same. He has been taking care of her on-screen as his wife but when the cameras are out, she’s back to dongsaeng status, his new found best friend, that’s what she called her. And being one, she has the liberty to know what and who interests him. Hearing those from him, she felt her heart was crushed by an elephant, stomped to pieces but she have to endure it, putting a smile on her face as he animatedly talks about his crush. What made her sane is the fact that he can’t date anyone, not until he was virtually married to her.

--

It’s late at night, they just arrived from their aquarium date and their recording was about to end, Yonghwa started hovering around her while she was busy making an apple milk shake. “I heard you’re having fun going to school, you even shook hands with male students” he pried, he has been meaning to ask her that since this morning but he was too busy covering up his fear of goldfish to ask, he doesn’t want to look foolish in front of her and their fans.

She shook her head, she knew this was coming, to Yongseo fans, this might be shown as his jealous streak and how she wished it’s because of that but the truth is, he is just an over protective oppa “They’re fans oppa. You even hugged one. You told me I can do that once in a while, right?” she chuckled. They have been really close and called each other in and out of filming.

He gave her a contented smirk “You’re right. It’s good that you listen to your nampyeon.” he pats her shoulder and sat on their sofa. Seohyun sat beside him and they talked about how great their day was.

That ended their shoot. As the crews and their manager are busy packing up, they went out to their Avatar inspired balcony. With Yonghwa’s hands on his pocket and hers crossed across her chest, they stood there in a comfortable silence. The night breeze toyed with their hair, she heard him inhaled deeply, filling his lungs with fresh air, his eyes closed. “I heard Jinwoon is courting you” he broke the silence

Her heart beat faster as she stared at his handsome profile “Oppa, why are you so protective of me?” she said without answering his question “That it seemed like your jealous” she wanted to add but kept it to herself. It was the question she has been meaning to ask but is too shy to do so.

He opened his eyes and looked at her endearingly “Because you’re my friend. I want the best for you. I want you to be happy” he took the hair that is covering her face due to the wind and tacked it behind her ear

Seohyun sighed when he did that, “What kind of girl can resist not falling in love with this guy?” She thought “Do you know what’s good for me and what can make me happy?” the question came deep within her heart. She felt like crying. If only he knew.

“I’ll know it when it comes” he shrugged and wrapped his arm around her shoulder

“You won’t” she answered “You don’t even know how good it feels to be this close to you” she thought, tempted to lean her head on his shoulder

“Don’t be so sure” he said confidently a smirk on his lips

“But I’m sure” she retorted, her voice louder than a whisper

He faced her and touched her chin “Then tell me. I’ll find it anywhere for you. I want to make you happy”

“Then make me” she wanted to regret what she just said but when he replied she realized he did not get what she really meant

He snapped his fingers in front of her face and said “Okay, give me a list of everything you want in a guy.”

“Aigoo..” she was prepared to confess her feelings. How could someone as worldly as him be so clueless?

“What?” he nudges her “Just not Superman, he’s taken”

She let a fake laugh but obliged “I want someone with a good sense of humor”

“It’s good” he nodded, started counting with his little finger “What else?”

“Responsible and sensitive of my needs and is easy to be with. I want someone who doesn’t burden me, appreciate my talents, loyal and faithful” she enumerated

“It seems like I’m the one you’re looking for.” He was obviously joking but she felt herself blush

“I said loyal and faithful” she whined

“I’m loyal.” He cocked his head

“Faithful?” She was talking about his crushes, there are many of them, but is it considered being unfaithful? She wondered

“I just haven’t met a girl that can make me faithful” he said putting up an aegyo

She pouted “And of course, I want him to have a good personality. He doesn’t have to be princely handsome, but good looking enough for me to not be scared when I wake up in the morning with him by my side” she joked. Yonghwa is handsome and hot, no doubt about that, but in the industry that they’re in, she saw idols more handsome and buff than him, but even with that, they don’t interest her.

“That’s me alright!” he answered sheepishly

“Thick skinned!” she hit his shoulder lightly and crossed her arms across her chest while looking away, trying to hide her flushed face “I want someone who can keep promises” she heard him clear his throat, his thumb pointed at him “Humble” she said her right brow slightly raised

“You know I only brag when it’s true. And you know it” he retorted

“You’re like selling yourself to me” she whined at him “you don’t have to” her heart answered

He sighed “Hyun, the reason behind why you can’t find a boyfriend is because you are looking for someone like me but I’m the only one in this world. It seems like you’ll end up becoming a spinster!” he joked

“I am not looking for someone like you!” she whined “How clueless can you get?” she thought her patience getting thin

“I thought you’re type is someone nerdy, not those nerdy looking guys but those intelligent guys” he said, he stopped joking when he sensed Hyun’s temper

“That’s what you thought” she smiled “That’s what you get for being highly opinionated; you feel that you knew all about me”

“Why? Is there something I don’t know?!” he grabbed her shoulders and stared at her in disbelief

“Of course! You don’t know a lot” she answered

“You want to share?” he asked with those puppy eyes “What are those?”

She looked down and she saw her manager oppa and his manager hyung sitting on the garden set waiting for them. Both have become close friends because of them. “It’s getting late, oppa. We should go. Our managers are waiting for us”

His eyes grew big as he heard what she said “You’re keeping a secret from me?!” he looked surprised

She shrugged “All people have secrets”

“I don’t have secrets now that you don’t know!” he said. He trusted her completely; he told her his secrets from being mischievous in school to the number of girlfriends, his first kiss and his crushes.

“Well a girl is always entitled to keep a secret or two” she squared her shoulders

“But not from me. I’m your best friend. You can hide secrets from your parents but not to me.” he whined

“Oppa! You might be my only best guy friend but definitely not my only best friend. I have 8 best friends oppa. And where did you get that reason?” she asked slightly amused of how ridiculous his reason is. So far she has no secrets that her mom doesn’t know.

“Don’t change the subject. I want to know.” He insisted

“I can’t tell you. It will complicate things” she answered back

“In what way?” he asked confused

“I just can’t. I’m sorry.” She looked down. He held her chin and looked straight to her eyes. He just looked at her as if trying to read her mind. She had to look away lest her eyes revealed everything.

Then he sighed “Maybe I should leave.” He said, took his hand from her chin.

It just occurred to her that they have been standing there for a while now. They were so close they could be lovers.

She walked with him to the door when she heard him say “Maybe I don’t really have to know. It’s probably better this way.”

He was long gone, and now she is sitting inside SNSD’s van thinking deeply to herself. Does he know? Was it just her imagination that he read what was in her mind?

“Hey!” Hyoyeon said “What happened?” she asked. Seohyun looked around. She in her room but it seems unclear how she got there. “You just went inside our dorm and went straight here like a zombie. What happened?” she asked again

“I think he knew and he doesn’t like it” she said in whisper, keeping her tears from falling

“What do you mean?” Hyo asked her voice slightly alarmed

She told her what happened “He was in his playful self earlier but all of a sudden he left. It only means one thing. He read my mind. It’s possible; it explains those instances where he knows what I want without even telling him or vice versa. He can guess it. Maybe that’s what happened earlier and he doesn’t like it” she finished, her voice slightly trembled with emotions that were kept inside “It only means he don’t have feelings for me. He just sees me as his friend. He wants it to remain that way. Maybe I just have to leave him alone.” She continued

“But you love him. He couldn’t find any other woman like you” Hyo stroked her hair, she can feel her pain “You can’t give up. Just like that.” she continued

“No, I should. I can and I will” she convinced herself “But how?” she thought

--

It has been two days after that incident, two days of not talking to each other on the phone. And their first encounter after that.

Backstage, before rehearsals for Inkigayo, Yonghwa stormed inside SNSD’s waiting room. The busy and noisy room became silent as they saw him. His eyes searched and landed on Seohyun who was seated in front of a mirror, a stylist donning her hair. Their eyes met on the mirror. He put his hands on her shoulder and guided her to stand up and face him, not caring of the curious and excited glances from all people inside the room.

“Hyun” he started, his eyes looked at her lovingly “I purposely did not contact you after that night, I wanted to think clearly.” He sighed before he continued “The other night, I was so confused and afraid because of the look on your face. I had to leave. I had to run. But I realized I have been running away for too long. I was in denial for so long, but the truth caught up with me. That night was a revelation; I don’t want to accept it that’s why I ran away. I got drunk but after I woke up, the truth still remained and I don’t know how to confess my feeling for you.”

Upon hearing those she felt her heart is going to explode. It could hardly contain all the joy and happiness his confession caused

“You see, I don’t want to think that I love you, coz I don’t want to lose you. I don’t want to change our friendship. Maybe subconsciously, I told myself to not court you, that you are off limits because if I’ll do that, I’ll lose you.” He continued

Her eyes were misty but her lips are hanging on her ears.

“Just imagine how I felt when I thought you don’t love me. Do you have any idea how difficult it was? So I hope you understand that I denied my feelings even to myself” he said now smiling

“Rest assured that I understand. Because of your denial, I thought you can’t really love me. Imagine the misery.” She pouted at him

He smiled “Sorry, but it’s all over now. We’re still friends, but we’re definitely lovers, and let’s keep it that way”

“I have been dreaming of this moment for months” she sighed and looked around. It’s the first time she noticed all her unnies, their stylists and their manager oppas looking at them, like they’re watching their favorite kdrama, big smile adorned each faces. “Well not exactly this. I dreamed this moment to be just the two of us”

She heard them chuckled, someone started the chant which was joined by others “Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!”

They laughed, he kissed her forehead and hugged each other tightly. “It feels good” Seohyun said in a whisper that only Yonghwa can hear.

Yonghwa smiled and kissed the top of her hair “Yes it does. Now I can tell you how I feel honestly”

“Now I can tell how good looking you are and takes care of you without fearing you might be able to read between the lines.” She answered

“Because we’ve crossed the line, that friendship line and the line that keep us between reel and real” Yonghwa added

They heard squeals and aws. Their audiences are having the time of their life watching them but they don’t care, they’re too happy to care.

Seohyun has been popular with guys ever since debut, everyone knew it. But because she is the timid innocent maknae of SNSD and is well known to favor gogumas over boys, no one had the courage to pursue her.

A few months after Seohyun entered the program We Got Married, boys swarmed in their apartment hoping to catch her heart, 3 boys in particular. It seems like WGM gave them a sign that she is now open for a relationship, which is partly true. She is ready for a relationship, only if that guy is Jung Yonghwa, her virtual husband.

A little after 9 pm after their respective schedule is done for that day, Seohyun’s phone rang. She answered on the first ring, she knew who the caller is without looking at the caller ID, he has an assigned ring tone, Love light. “I was about to call you Yong” she said a smile adorned her face

Yonghwa chuckled softly on the other end “You’ve thought of me? Wow, thank you!” he answered

“Dangyunhaji!” she answered while her insides did a summersault, a smile didn’t leave her face as it felt warmer

“I heard Minho visited you again” he pried, one eyebrow slightly raised albeit the humor on his voice

“Aigoo, just let him be.” she chuckled slightly, giddy of the fact that Yonghwa seems jealous, but he might say he’s joking if she asks him, right? It’s always been a joke to him, she sighed.

“Why are you defending him? Is he your crush?” he joked albeit being jealous. He can’t help it to be jealous although he perfectly know he has no right to, she’s just a virtual wife.

“Wae? I don’t have plans in having a boyfriend yet” she said in between chuckles, upon hearing those, his heart skipped a beat “you know very well that I only have 1 crush in the whole wide world.” She tried teasing him

“Who?! Johnny Dept?” he answered playfully

“Not a Hollywood actor” she said, Yonghwa can hear the humor in her voiced which he liked so much and took pride off, mainly because he is the only guy that Seohyun can joke around. He has been monitoring all her shows from way back to present that he can confidently say that he is the only guy Seo Joo Hyun is not awkward with, at least not at the present.

“Hmmnnn, Jung Yonghwa?!” he joked that made Seohyun laugh loudly, he can imagine her covering her mouth as she did

“Is he handsome? That Jung Yonghwa?” she responded playfully

“Super!” He laughed “You’re in your dorm right?” he asked and after she affirmed “I’ll be there in a 30 minutes max, see you later.” they said their goodbyes and ended the call, he changed his clothes to decent ones and hurriedly drove his way to their dorm

Seohyun ransacked her closet and changed her clothes, put on a little make-up with the help of her ever so reliable Hyoyeon unnie.

Excitedly, she went out of their room and slumped on the living room floor, waiting silently. While the rest of her unnies watch TV.

But before Yonghwa arrived, Jinwoon arrived, a vegetable pizza as big as their round table on hand. Her unnies giggled as they saw him and gave Seohyun a teasing look. But before they decided to leave them alone in the living room, the doorbell rang and was surprised to see Minho, carrying with him a basket full of flowers.

Seohyun watched her unnies getting excited as some of them served her visitors refreshments. After a few minutes they heard another doorbell and were more surprised to see Kyuhyun walking behind Yuri who opened the door “Yah, uri Seohyun is popular nowadays” she smiled, her eyes sparkling.

She squirmed on her seat as Kyuhyun handed her 3 boxes of chocolates. She felt flattered and happy to be showered with attention from opposite sex, although she has no plan in accepting any one of them

“What if, I’ll just refuse these three now?” She thought. She didn’t know what to do, she looked at the three of them who are now sitting on their sofa, they are on her line of sight, and she looked at their handsome face one by one in panic, they seem to be uncomfortable too, but she can also sense determination in their eyes. Seohyun felt at lost, she can only entertain one suitor at a time, she can’t believe all 3 of them are here at the same time and worse, Yonghwa might be here in a little while.

Now she regret on listening to her unnies’ advice of accepting suitors though she knew and they knew as well that she can’t love them coz someone already owns her heart. They said to leave her options open and so she did and look what it got her. She heaves a sigh.

And so after a little while, they heard another doorbell. He Jessica unnie beat her to the door, her face full of excitement “Who could this be?” she said in a sing-sang tone “Omo, Jung- Seobang! Come in!” she said loudly, Seohyun perfectly knows her unnies are enjoying her misery.

The 3 people on the couch looked at each other as they heard Yonghwa’s name.

Yonghwa walked inside and was surprised with what he saw in the living room. “Was there a holy mass earlier?” Yonghwa voiced

Seohyun looked at him in confusion “Ani, wae?” she asked

“Why is it that there are many offerings? Is there a relic that came in your dorm?” he added

Now she realized he was being sarcastic, especially when he complained about the chair.

She stood up and offered her chair to him “You sit here then”

“Okay. You can sit on my lap then” he half joked, a little pissed

Seohyun chuckled “Michin-yo?! Wait, I’ll go get a chair” she said but was interrupted when Yoona swerved a seat to Yonghwa

“Omo! Thank you sister-in-law! It seems like you have a box office show here in your dorm” Yonghwa said with a smile that doesn’t reach the eye

Yoona went back to the nearby room after giving him a smile as if nothing happened, Seohyun can only shake her head of her unnies’ silliness, and obviously they don’t plan in concealing their eavesdropping.

Yonghwa pulled his chair closer to hers and looked at the 3 now uneasy people “Annyeong! What’s in here in Seohyun dorm that you three are here?” he mused at them

Kyuhyun smirks “The same reasons as you do” he answered

Yonghwa’s eyes bulged “You came here to eat too?” he feigned innocence

Seohyun laughed and slapped his shoulder lightly “Stop it!” she whined. Although Seohyun knows they knew each other, it didn’t keep her from introducing them again.

Kyuhyun stood and said “Seohyunie, I’ll come back another time.” he looked at Yonghwa as he did

Yonghwa stood and offered a shake hands “Take care and good night!” he said, Kyuhyun just nodded at him, he was followed by Minho a little later.

“I heard your dorm in far from her Jinwoon-ssi.” He said, jealousy now showing in his voice

Jinwoon looked at him straight to the eyes “As far as I knew, no one still owns Seohyun” he answered back bravely

Yonghwa’s eyes sharpened as he heard his reply “Of course! No one owned her, she’s human. Does she look like a car to you?”

Jinwoon inhaled sharply, he looked at Seohyun and bid goodbye but not after giving Yonghwa the look.

As soon as her last suitor went out Seohyun closed their distance and said “Why were you so sarcastic and mean? They are good people!” she mused, her arms across her chest

“You’re the one who’s mean” Yonghwa replied, he grabbed the untouched glass of water on the table and drank to calm himself

“Why me?” Seohyun pointed to herself in confusion

“Why me? he mocked “What can you call on what you just did? You knew I was coming and you received a visitor and not just one, three!” he held his three fingers in front of her face

“I didn’t know they’d be here” she argued calmly

“You could’ve hide yourself from them” he suggested

“I’m not that kind of person, they came here with good intentions so I should at least face them with gratitude. There’s nothing wrong in visiting me here” she rapped

“Why would they do that? You’re not even sick!” he knew he’s being ridiculous but he can’t help it

“I’m not joking with you” Seohyun’s patience started to drain

“What? You’re getting mad? I should be the one getting mad. I worked hard planting but others will be the one harvesting it?” he rapped back

“What do you mean?” he forehead creased, her tone an octave higher

He calmed down as he saw her getting more upset “Doesn’t matter. We’ll talk after you calmed down” he walked out their door

--

Yonghwa knew he was wrong, but his mind was clouded with jealousy as soon as he saw her suitors piling up. And he can’t help himself being mean and sarcastic. He knew Seohyun has her share of suitors and as a guy; he can’t blame them for it. She’s not only beautiful, she’s also smart, humble, and innocent, he can go all night describing her. He is angry because he can’t refrain those guys in pursuing her. He told Jinwoon that no one owns Seohyun because she’s human, not a thing but he felt he owned her. Mainly because he was the reason why Seohyun shines brightly these days, the reason why she seems more open in relationships now than before. He was the one who polished that diamond. And he hates it that someone other than him can get her.

He called her as soon as he got home “You still mad?” he asked s soon as she picked up “I’m sorry”

What can she say? When it comes to Yonghwa her heart just melts. She can’t possibly pretend to not forgive him right? She can’t possibly do that, sad but true. “Why did you call?” she asked instead

“To say I’m sorry” he said

“It’s okay, I’m not mad anymore, but please, next time, please don’t do that to my visitors. They’re good people and it’s my right to receive suitors” She pleaded

“I know and I’m going to do something about it.” He answered determination in his voice

“What do you mean?” Seohyun’s eyebrows met in confusion

“I’m going to remove your rights to receive suitors”

“Huh?” she answered more confused

“Seo Joo Hyun, will you be my girlfriend?” he asked directly

Seohyun’s heart jumped upon hearing his reply. Her cheeks turned into a dark shade of pink. “Aigoo oppa, why is this so sudden and why would I do that?”

Yonghwa took a deep breath and say “Because I love you. I love you Seo Joo Hyun”

She must be dreaming, no, she must have gone crazy and now she’s hallucinating, her head feels light and it seems her feet have wings, she felt like flying

“Please say yes… I’ll explain it to you later but for now you should say yes” he pleaded

“Yah! You’re not asking her, you’re imposing!” she heard Minhyuk’s voice, he must be beside Yonghwa

“Hyung-soo-nim!” she heard Jungshin’s voice on the line “Uri Hyung is in love with you and you’ve got to believe me coz he does this…hhmmmpp” she did not hear the rest of his sentence coz it seems like someone stuffed his mouth with socks

“Saranghae Seo Joo Hyun” Yonghwa again proclaimed

“Na do, Saranghae” Seohyun answered shyly, she fanned her face with her hand

Yonghwa’s heart beats so fast he sure can run a marathon, he let out a wide grin “Yaaaahhhhoooooo!!” he heard Seohyun laughed whole heartedly “wait for me, I’ll come over”

“Again?” she said but a dial tone answered her. She sighed giddily; butterflies are inside her stomach as she thought of him.

In no time she received a message saying he’s outside the door, she hurriedly opened it for him

“I didn’t want to wake your unnies” he said as their eyes met. All emotions that they kept inside are shown.

He held her close; Seohyun buried her face on his chest “Seo Joo Hyun, Saranghae! Thank you for loving me back” he sniffed once and then twice

She looked up on his face “Why are you sniffing me?” she chuckled but confused at the same time

“You smell great! What’s the brand of your bath soap and shampoo?” they have been together in the show yes, but it’s the first time he held her this close.

“Body shop” she answered, amused

But he had an impression that the scent is coming from within her. Maybe that was how good people smelled, just like the Saints his mother told him when he was little. She said they smelled great, always smelled like flowers even after they die.

“You must be a saint, Seo Joo Hyun”
