5th Midnight: - This isn (1/1)

- These are just from this past week.- We have to open it ALL!? - she opens her eyes widely.- We have to clasify them. Some might be useful and the others have to go to Cube storage.- Let's start then - she sighs.It took us almost 3 hours to unpack everything. Letters from the fans, clothes, accessories, coke packs, pens...- I lost mine somewhere a while ago - I state while staring at the big box full of all kind of expesive pens.- You lost yours... what? - she asks looking at me and, then, to the box in my hands - Oh! Pen?- Huh - I say still trying to remember when and where I lost it.- It seems It was something really precious for you - she tilts her head to the side.- Someone gave it as a present the day of my high school graduation - I smile thinking about the past - I don't even know that person's name.- Huh? I thought... - she frowns confused - Well, you said It's an important gift so I thought...- There were a letter, a touching one... - I smile again - I don't get moved easily but that person used music. And, since then, I used it to write my own music.- That's why It means so much for you - she nods - Don't worry, since It was mean for you and something really precious, I'm sure It'll come back to his rightful owner.- Woah~! Who knew something wise can come out from your messy brain!? - I laugh at her poker face.- Ha ha, you're so funny - she says expressionless.- You still have to learn how to deal with jokes - I laugh.- I know how to - she looks at me sideway and puffs her checks - By the way, you said that we have to have it ready around 8PM.- So? - I check my phone - Shit! They will be here anytime!I go panic mode on when I hear the sound of the door bell. She looks at me bemused while I go around in the room, not knowing what to do, with that box still on my hands.- Just relax, won't you? - she says taking off the box from my hands and making me stand right there - You, go and open the door for them. Don't worry about me, I'll be a good girl and stay in your room, arasso? - she smiles slightly for the second time, encouraging me.- Huh - I say, still not moving.- Let's go! It's not a war~! - she mocks at me and leaves the room.I stand right there, still stunned, until I hear the door bell again. The noise I hate the most, echoing through my ears, driving me crazy.- Arasso! I got it! - I shout at the door and open it.- Annyeong haseyo, Junhyung-ssi - two employees wearing an uniform with Cube Ent's logo on it bow.- How can we help you this time, Junhyung-ssi?- Huh... as always, too much love from our fans - I answer shyly, feeling a bit guilty for the shouting.- This room? - the taller man asks pointing to the guess room.- Huh, that one - I scratch the back of my head - We- ani, I packed the things in boxes.- Thanks, Junhyung-ssi - the one with a kind face nods with a smile - We'll take care of the rest.I look at the door of my room worried she might do something silly and attract their attention. Did she fall asleep again? Maybe she fainted! What If...- Junhyung-ssi?- Huh!? Ne! - I come out from my daze.- We finished here - both men bow - We'll take our leave then.- Huh... Kamsahamnida! - I bow slightly and run to my room as soon as the door is closed.When I go in, she isn't there. She disappeared... she disappeared, she... dis-appear-ed... she's gone... - I repeat him my head, panting. I don't know If I'm worried, relieved, scared that I might have gone crazy and that I imagined it all... I...- Junhyung-ssi? - a shy voice calls my name - Are you... ok?I should settle my mind already, that this is real... for the fucking sake of my young heart.- WHERE WERE YOU!? - I yell at her, who jumps scared.- I... was looking... through the window in the bathroom - she blinks confused.- Why? - I ask with a lower tone but still grumpy.- Well... - she scratches the back of her neck - I saw that It got dark and... I wanted to see the starts?- Mwoh-ah~!? - I moan throwing my body on the bed, tired.- I won't disappear so easily - she sings and pat my back - Take a shower and relax. I'll cook dinner today~!- Should I be scared? - I raise an eyebrow, not expecting this at all.- Of course not! - she laughs awkwardly - Kenchana, I watched it and I think I remembered all the steps.- Do whatever you want - I drag myself to rest my head on the pillow - Just... don't burn the kitchen, I didn't get to use it myself.- Don't worry!I didn't realize it but I fell in a deep sleep. oOoI have a dream about Ghost Girl. She was giving me a tour through the campus of Art University of Seoul, where we all studied before becoming who we are right now.She drags me holding my hand tightly, looking at me from time to time checking I'm hearing all she's saying to me. We meet all faces I remember from school days: classmates, some teachers, all the members, Mi Ri noona, Kyung Mi... everyone is there.Suddenly, she stops walking, still holding my hand but giving me her back. I look at her confused as she turns around to face me. She isn't Ghost girl... her hair is shorter, she's shorter herself too. But... she isn't her... she looks like a younger version of her, she isn't Ghost girl. She's someone else.It's weird, It's like I can see more of this girl slowly. Her face looks clearer, I releaze the clothes she wears are a bit old-fashioned with big spectacles that make her eyes look bigger and scary. They are different from Ghost Girl's. Looking at them is like diving into her sorrow. I feel myself sinking within them...- Are you in pain? - I find myself asking her.She leaves my hand go and turns her back to me again. Slowly, as she walks away, her clothes turns into a simple white dress, waving with the cold breeze.I want to chase her but, like It always happens in dreams, I can't move at all. I'm stuck there, watching as she leaves. But she doesn't go too far before she stops in front of a black door.- The Music Room... - I mutter as I finally realize we both are in the hallway toward the room where we had our music club.Just when I was about to ask her who she was I... smell something?oOoI open my eyes slowly and stretch myself. Then I sniff the air carefully and... there's not a burn smell at all. I walk toward the door and take a peek of what she's doing that smells so good. All I can see is her back, going here and there. I go a little closer and see the dishes with kimchi, japchae and kimbap settled on the table. But they all are side dishes, she might be cooking something else since she keeps moving non stop, tasting the food she's cooking right now.Since she's so into it, I try to make a fast move without her noticing it and taste the kimbap. - It's not nice to eat when you're not in your seat and others either - she says when I'm about to put the slice in my mouth - And, It's not nice to eat what others made without their consent - she takes the kimbap from my hand and places it nicely on the plate again.- Such a killjoy - I mutter to myself.- Such a ill-mannered MAN Junhyung-ssi - she mutters, being sure I heard it.- What are you doing? - I ask really curious.- Go, take a seat and you'll see.I do as she says, dragging myself like a kid mad at his mom for making him wait for dinner. She definitely is the troll kind.Soon, she follows me and sets a spoky pot on the table. I recognize the smell of kimchi as soon as she removes the lid, being really careful not to get burn.- Kimchi jjigae!? - I open my eyes widely.- Wae... you don't like it? - she looks at me disappointed of herself.- Ani... It's not that but... - I scratch the back of my head - You made it? How can you cook this just by watching TV?- They didn't cook this, I remembered how to do it myself - she smiles proudly - I wanted to cook galbitang but I didn't have the ingredients and the time. I'll wake up early and cook it for you one day. - Huh... - I blink still in daze.- What are you doing? - she chuckles - Didn't you want to try it so badly just now? Try it and tell me what you think.- I didn't want it so bad-...I can't finish what I was about to say since my mouth is filled with kimbap. I glare at her while she tries to hold back her laugh. Nerer... Nobody! Dared to do something like putting food in my mouth to shut me up, not even once. I want to complain and teach her what she can and what she can't do to me, where is the boundary between us. The line she can't cross...But the taste of the kimbap is too good to ruin it talking about this issue right now. - How is it? - she asks expectant.- Well... It's not bad - I can't lie. I can, but my face can't.- I knew it! - she jumps joyfully - I knew I was good at cooking.- Is something to be so happy? - I chuckle.- Of course! It means that If I follow my instincts, some memories will come back. And cooking has a plus.- What kind of plus?- I can do something for you - she smiles - It seems you don't cook or just don't know how to do it.- What makes you think so? - I ask with my poker face.- Because you have nothing beside coke and some basic ingredients here.- That doesn't mean anything. I cook at the dorms, I don't like to cook for myself.- So... you don't like to eat alone?The way she asked it sounds more like she states it. That makes me feel a bit... attacked? Offended? I don't know. Like she just crossed that line I put to everyone else beside hyung and the Beast members. Sometimes, there's a boundary even for them.- That's something you don't have to know.- Arasso... - she ducks her head to look at the table - I shouldn't have asked.- Forget it, let's eat before It gets cold.Nobody says anything else, we both keep eating the food she cooked. And I have to say It was really good. Even If I don't tell her so, I admit It was impressive that she could cook like this after forgetting everything and at her first try. Let's say we can apply the saying "Once you have learned how to ride a bike, you won't forget it ever" here.- Huh! It's past 11PM. Did I sleep that long? - I ask confused.- Well, I had to clean the guess room and cook... I went in once so you could wash up before dinner but...- So...- You seemed to be really tired and you were sleeping so nicely that I didn't want to wake you up.Shit! She saw me sleeping. The guys say I'm the cutest thing ever while I sleep, that I don't look scary and that I make them want to pitch my cheeks... Damn it!- Wait... why did you clean the room?- There were dust everywhere. I thought It might be good If the room was clean once the workers got here. Did I do wrong?- It's not that... - I sigh - Aren't you tired? Today was not a funny day.- I'm ok.Such a bad liar... It's all written on your face, X Hyun Ae agasshi!- I'll do the dishes. You go and watch the TV channel you love so much - she hesitates - Now.It took me a while since she's the messy style at cooking and I'm such a neat freak to the point that everything has to be freaking perfect. It's already midnight but, at least, I don't have to clean the guess room. I checked it and It was ok.- Maybe I should fire that ahjumma... - I mutter to myself, leading to the living room.And... There she is, 'The Sleeping Ghost' again. Note to myself: Ask Hana why she falls asleep like that the next time she shows up.I walk toward the couch and stand right in front of the quiet body resting on it. Her chest going up and down as she breathes peacefully. I bent forward, taking my time to notice all her features closely, trying to link them with the girl from that dream. But there was pain on that girl's face and Hyun Ae just looks fine to me, even her eyes speak other language.- Who are you, really? - I mutter to myself.- PARK HYUN AE-SSI! - she yells suddenly, making me jump and my butt meets the floor - Park... Hyun Ae... -ssi.I stare at her in awe as she cuddles on the couch again, trying to find the sleeping position that suits her better. But she can't sleep there tonight, the weather is a bit chilly at night already and I don't have a futon or any blankets. So the only option left is... Sleep on the same bed. There's no way I'll sleep on the couch again.- Don't worry, my friend isn't that hungry to pounce on you in the middle of the night - I chuckle, picking her up for the 13572637 time - I'll build nice muscles thanks to you, Park Hyun Ae-ssi.As I lead toward my room, I feel it again. I feel how her body sucks on mine, recharging herself. It obvious that It was a tiring day for her too and she did too much. Beside the fact that she needs my warmth to stay alive, she doesn't look that kind of person that lives out of others. She's rather independent and can take care of herself. It could be worst, she could be a spoiled brat or a psycho, who knows?Oh yeah! I'm trying to convince myself that this isn't that bad, and she really makes it easy to believe. But there are a lot  of things missing so I can't trust her with eyes closed.As soon as I leave her on the bed she curls under the covers leaving a lot of space for myself.I sleep just wearing my underwears but It won't be nice of me If she wakes up in the middle of the night with a naked (almost) guy next to her. Well, It'd be nice to her sight but a bit shocking, right? So I put on a tank top with sweatpants and go to sleep.At least, her presence doesn't make me feel uneasy or uncumfortable next to her so I can FINALLY sleep tight for one night before all the chaos coming soon.oOoI wake up and check the time: 10AM. Kyung Mi said that the workers would be here around 12PM so I have enough time to take a shower and have a quiet breakfast.It's really weird that I got to sleep so well with this girl so close, with her hand on my arm. That slight contact would have woken me up but It didn't.I place the back of my hand on my forehead and sigh. I have to get used to weird things happening to me because, since she came here, nothing normal happened.I tilt my head to the side so I can watch her sleeping, with her face to me. It seems she's really tired cause she didn't wake up at 6AM today. - At least you don't look like a sleeping corpse anymore - I mutter.I remove her hand on me carefully and lead to the bathroom. My tired and sore body needs hot water on it right now.I take off all my clothes while the water runs, waiting for it to be warm enough to go in. Soon, I can't see anything due to the steam. That's why, when I hear a soft thud outside, I try to get rid of the mist but everything is blurry. I shrug it off and keep washing myself. When I go out, Hyun Ae isn't on the bed.- Did she wake up already?Without thinking about it too much, I put on some clothes and go out with a towel on my shoulders, to wipe my hair.- Yah! What have you done so early in the morning!? - I hiss, watching her sitting on the couch and rubbing an ice pack on her head.- It's your fault~! - she whines - I hit my head with the nightstand.- My fault!? - I chuckle - Why It's my fault you fell and hit your head with the nightstand!?- Because I had my eyes closed so I won't see you naked! - she hisses, looking a bit mad - Did you forget I was there, the fact that the bathroom is all of glass or did you want to brag about it?- It's not like I forgot... - I wipe my hair with the towel unconcerned - It's just I didn't think about it.- This isn't funny... -she mutters to herself.- Did you saw it all? Well, If you did, It's a tie then - I say nonchalant.- Mwoh? Tie? - she frowns - What tie?- Forget it, show it to me - I try to remove the ice pack.- Ah~! - she flinches - Be careful, It hurts!- Ara, arasso. Let me see it - I remove the ice pack and check If there's blood - It's just a bump. Such a crybaby...She looks at me sideway and places the ice pack on her head again, giving me her back and turning on the TV. I chuckle  at her. It's funny to tease her.- Do I have to hide again? - she ask looking at me with a pout while I made breakfast.- I think so. That's why you should come here and eat breakfast now.- Arasso - she goes and takes a seat on the table.I feel my phone vibrating inside my pocket and take it out. It's a message from Mi Ri noona, that she'll be here in ten minutes.- Shit! - I hiss - She's coming too.- Who? - she asks tilting her head to the side.- Mi Ri noona, Doojoon's fiancee. If she finds out before I say it myself... - I sigh.- Wae? The other girl... - Who? Kyung Mi? She's different. - Wae?- Mi Ri noona doesn't know how to hide things from Doojoon hyung, he knows her to well. He's like a hound. If he knows about your existence right now, I'm dead meat - I rest my head on my hands.- Don't worry - she sings - All I have to do is keep her from seeing me, right?- Huh - I lift my head and look at her.- Then... Thanks for breakfast! - she gets up and lock herself inside my room.I take my time doing the dishes and tidying up the living room a bit before Mi Ri noona gets here with her workers. But she doesn't make me wait too much, the door bell rings just when I end with the dishes.- Junhyung-ah~! - she calls me.- You're in a good mood, I see - I sigh.- Of course! I was going crazy waiting for the day I'll take care of that room! There's so much space to work on it - she's spazzing again.- Noona... - I try to make her come out from her daze - How long do you think It'd take you?- Don't worry, I know you don't like strangers at home - she pushes me toward my room - You go in and lie up, I'll take care of the rest.When she opens the door I look everywhere, trying to find Hyun Ae so she can hide herself but It isn't necessary. Mi Ri noona just pushes me in and closes the door behind her, without noticing the girl lying on my bed.- What happened? - she whispers confused.- She... wants me to rest, I think - I say awkwardly.For some reason, I feel weird being with this girl now. It's just awkward to be locked in a room with a girl you don't know well and It's not for a one night stand. For me, this kind of situations... this is something new and foreign.- Take a seat - she pats the mattress - This is your room and we shared a bed already. I won't feel bad or uncomfortable. - Who said I care about that? - I chuckle and set myself at ease on my bed - And what make you feel so confident? I'm a bad guy.- You said it, that I'm not your style. "Average girl" - she states - That makes me feel confident.- Whatever - I take the remote and turn on the TV. There was that movie I wanted to watch...- And, If you were a bad guy, I won't be here.- Look here, Hyun Ae-ssi. You don't know me - I glare at her - So, don't take me too lightly. And don't push your luck too much.For the very first time, someone returns me the glare. Her expression isn't as bad as mine but her eyes are bewitched . And they can go through your entire body to reach the deepest spot in your soul, staying there to torture your sanity.- You look really ugly when you threaten people - she purses her lips and shakes her head - Hi there, average boy - she takes her attention from me to the TV.I look at her astonished as she gets herself "comfortable" beside me. She rests her back against the headboard with her legs bent to her chest so she can lean her chin on her knees.We both ignore each other as I go through the channels trying to find something interesting to watch. But there's nothing, just gossips, cooking shows and old dramas.- Hyun Ae...- Huh? - she tilts her head to the side to look at me, with her cheek resting on her knees.- Do you know the Art University of Seoul? - I ask out of the blue.- Mmm... I think I remember it. Isn't it one of the main campus in Seoul?- There's any chance that you studied there?- I can't even remember my school days - she sighs - I don't know If I finished high school and went to college or worked somewhere. I remember things of common sense but things about my past are just... blank. Why do you ask all of a sudden?- I just thought of it, forget it - I go back to rest my head on the pillow, with my right hand under it.I keep switching channels until I find something worth to watch: I saw the Devil. I have watched it before but there's nothing better to do so...I'm not sure If she ins't scared, If she's just bored and not paying attention to the movie or she just endures it too well. When we went to watch this movie with the members, I still remember how all the girls in the cinema screamed and gasps filled the room from time to time as they grabbed their boyfriend's arm.- More than two hours for this... - she sighs, once the movie ends.- This is great movie, you know?- All that just to teach you revenge won't give you back what you have lost and make you feel even worse than before - she shakes her head - Well, at least It had good actors and was exciting to watch.- You watched it all along!?- I did... Wae?- I didn't see you blink a eye or flinch, you didn't move at all!- Why should I? When I know what is going to happen anyway... - she snorts - What about you?- I already watched it! - I make a pause to think - You say you knew what was going to happen... Does It mean you had already watched this movie?- Huh... I think I watched it at the cinema...- Then you were here in Korea when the movie was released in 2010. That means you are korean or, at least, you lived here since then - I mutter - Do you remember something about the people that were around you?- Classmates... - she gasps - I think I went to college!- Shh! - I cover her mouth - Shut up! You want us to get caught!?*knock knock*- Junhyung-ah~! Are you ok? - Mi Ri noona asks from behind the door.-  Huh! Kenchana! - I asnwer her, still covering Hyun Ae's mouth.- We're almost done and Kyung Mi will be here in a while. Come out and appreciate my piece of art~! - she sings.- Huh! Arasso! - I sigh, still holding her tight and really close.I didn't releaze it but when I jumped to cover her mouth, I pinned her against the headboard, leaning all my wieght on one arm to keep myself in balance. But that made us be in a really uncomfortable position since she had no place to lean on and her body was falling out of the bed from the side, sliding slowly. That's why I had to press my body against hers, trying to make this less messy.I know It was just a few seconds but I couldn't move because of her eyes piercing me. But It ends once she sticks out her tongue, trying to get rid of my hand.- Mwoh-ah!? - I hiss.- I can't breathe! - she whispers.- Ugh! - I clean my hand on her clothes.- Junhyung-ah~! I don't know what takes you so long but I need to use the bathroom!I open my eyes widely and try to figure out how I can get out of this one.- The wardrobe, now... right? - she sighs and drags herself inside the wardrobe.- Great idea... I didn't think of that one - I mutter and walk toward the door - Noona! Sorry, I was... doing my things.- Sure, I heard screams from outside - she looks at me sideway with a grin.- Noona, I was watching I saw the Devil. It was the girl from the movie.- Ah~! Arasso! - she smiles - I saw that movie with Doojoon oppa and I hated it!- Any girl in her right mind would hate it - I smirk, almost hearing Hyun Ae's snort from here.- Ok! Let's go~! I want to show what we have done to your guess room~! - she sings, dragging me with her.- I don't know I should be scared... - I sigh.- Ani, ani... so far of that - she shakes her head and open the door of the guess room - Et voilà!- This is... - I blink - Wow! It looks so... different.- Different good or different bad style? - she asks with a pout.- Ani, ani... It's good - I look around - It looks spacious but warm too.- The light is great, right? - she smiles proud of her work.- Huh...- I don't know what got into you that you wanted to arrenge it so fast but... well...- You know once I set my mind on something I want it fast - I laugh awkwardly.- Huh! I have to go! - she looks at her phone - I have a date with Doojoon oppa and he hates it when I'm late~!- Arasso - I chuckle - Thanks for everything, noona.- You don't have to~!*door bell*- Oh! That must be Kyung Mi-ah! I'll greet her and leave right away.- Someone at home~! - a really pregnant woman comes in the room - Woah~! Unnie, It's perfect!- Huh! I have to leave, Doojoon is waiting! - Mi Ri noona kiss her forehead and pats her tummy - See you babies~!- Don't you think she got brighter since Doojoon sunbae proposed to her? - she chuckles.- And more noisy - we both laugh.- Where is she? - she whispers.- Who?- The girl that looks foreign! The owner of this room! - she says amazed - Who else!?- Huh... she? Inside the wardrobe.- Mwoh!? Why is she there!?- Mi Ri noona... you know...- Ah~! Leader Doojoon, The Hound - she chuckles - Arasso! Go and bring her.- Why me? These are girl things - I whine.- She doesn't know me - she hisses - She'd be embarrassed If I go there and meet her alone.- Arasso, eomma~!I walk toward my room thinking how I'm going to explain the existence of this girl to Kyung Mi, to everyone...I go inside the wardrobe and find her curled in a corner. She doesn't realize I'm there until I tap her with the tip of my finger. She jumps startled as I do because I didn't expect her to react that way.- Yah... you can come out now - I clear my throat - There's someone who wants to meet you.- Me? - she points to herself, following me outside.All the way where kyung Mi is, sitting in the living room, she walks behinds me really close. She gets shy when there are people around, eh?- Here she is - I move aside so Kyung Mi can see her.- Annyeong haseyo, Kim Kyung Mi imnida~! - she bows her head slightly since her tummy won't allow her to go any further - Pangapsumnida!- Annyeong haseyo - Hyun Ae replies shyly.- Her names is Park Hyun Ae. She's an unnie so...- Huh! Arasso-yo - she smiles - Hyun Ae unnie.- Huh... pangapsumnida, Kyung Mi-ssi - she smiles slightly, a bit blushed to my surprise.- Junhyung sunbae, can you please bring the boxes in my car? - she looks at my with puppy eyes - I bring a lot~ of shoes since I didn't know your size - she pouts.- Oh, kamsahamnida - she bows her head.- Arasso - I sigh.- I'll help him.- Oh, right! Thanks, as you see... - she pats her tummy - This little kid won't give me a break.- Make yourself at home, get something to drink or whatever you want - I take her car keys and lead out, followed by Hyun Ae.- Is she... ? - she starts to ask me.- She's OBVIOUSLY pregnant, that isn't an indigestion for sure - I chuckle but I lose it once I see her car with, at least, six boxes in the back seat.- I mean... the father... - It's Dongwoon, Son Dongwoon - I sigh when I see another six boxes on the trunk - How did she make it fit here?- The maknae!? Aren't they... too young? - she can't blink her eyes, about to pop out.- They met, dated, shared the same roof and got married - I take one of the boxes and place it on her hands - Isn't a baby the next step?- Well... If you look at it like that. They are so lucky - she has a warm gaze on her face - The baby will be really pretty.- What makes you think so? - I take two boxes on my hands.- The parents are both pretty people, how can the baby be ugly? - she chuckles and starts to walk inside.It took us four trips to bring inside all the boxes. By Kyung Mi's words, 8 of them have clothes and the others have shoes.- I want you to try a outfit so I'll know If I guessed your size well - she smiles warmly.But Hyun Ae is not there, she's somewhere else while Kyung Mi talks to her. I didn't realize this is the first time she sees the room where she'll stay until who knows when.- It's so pretty... - she mutters, stunned.- We'll wait outside so you can change your clothes, I left the outift on the bed - she leads me outside.- Go ahead - I look at her where-did-you-get-yourself-into?'s face - I know you enough to recognize that look on you. Spit it out.- Is she... - she points at her head with her index finger - Does she wear a flower and I didn't see it?- Mwoh!? She ins't crazy! - I chuckle - She just...- She just... what?- Ara, arasso - I take a deep breath - She lost her memory.- Mwoh!? Sh-She lost her memory? How? When!? Why did she come to find you? Wait... What is the relationship between you two? - she frowns.- Acquaintances - I facepalm myself - I can't explain it all but she has nobody else so...- I don't know about the others but I'm pretty sure Doojoon sunbae won't like this - she pouts.- I know but... What did you want me to do, chase her out when she has no where to go, nobody to lean on?- You did well - she pats my shoulder and I look at her in shock - Don't look at me like that, I really think you did well.- Are you serious? Because I still can't think about it as the right choice.- I do agree you chose well - she smiles warmly.If you knew that she might die... you'll agree to this even more, right?- Tomorrow won't be a quiet lunch, you know?- Ara, but It might be funny - she chuckles.- This isn't funny. Shit! She stuck that on my head!- I want to watch how the all mighty Junhyung deals with this - she winks - I'm pretty sure this time you'd have to show your tender side. It's been really a long time since I met that Junhyung.- Stop dreaming so you won't be disappointed later.- You have never disappointed me, nor today. She's the proof of it - she points to the girl standing in front of the guess room door.- I-I'm not used to wear heels - the girl walks toward us, struggling so she won't fall.- Omo! So pretty! I knew this outfit will suit you as soon as I saw you!- Isn't it too... elegant? I don't know If I'd have the chance to wear this kind of clothes - she tries to cover her legs.- Mmm, you are taller than I thought - Kyung Mi circles her - But I got the feeling so I brought longer clothes, just in case. So I'd just have to catch the hem! But we're lucky you're taller.- Yah! Stop the monologue, she's scared - I have to hold back my laugh.- Mwoh? - Hyun Ae blinks confused.- Oh, sorry! I'll stop babbling - she sticks out her tongue - About the heels, you have to get used to them. I gave up on them at the third month though.- But you look pretty - Hyun Ae mutters.- Did you hear that, sunbae? Huh? Huh!? - she giggles - She said I'M pretty~!- Oh yeah! Pretty ROUND!- Aish! - she hiss.- Forget it, Diva Junhyung is just jealous - Hyun Ae whispers in Kyung Mi's ear so I won't hear it.- Oh~! It was that~! - she chuckles.- I don't like you two being together already - I look at them sideway.- Anyway, I brought a lot of styles. Even to stay at home, go for a walk, to do sports... EVERYTHING!- You're too nice - Hyun Ae blushes.- You don't have to be thankful toward her, I'm the one who pays anyway.- You don't have a phone, right? - she asks Hyun Ae suddenly and she shakes her head - That will be my welcome gift~! Let's choose one you like tomorrow. It's that ok, unnie?- Tomorrow?- We're having lunch with the members tomorrow - I sigh.- Huh... - she seems troubled by it, but I can't ask her right now.- I have to leave already - Kyung Mi pouts - My yeobo is waiting for me to made dinner together~!- Still The Stubborn Couple as ever... Go! - I sigh and sign her to leave - Tell your yeobo I want to try some of the cookies he learned to make!- Huh! Arasso~! - she shouts from the entrance - I'll text you when I get home!- Huh, arasso! Be careful on your way back!- Oh... - she nods - I got it now.- You got... what? - I chuckle. I have to admit I feel a bit... uneasy now that she looks like that.- You're bipolar - she states and walks away.- Yah! - I hiss - I'm no-But she doesn't go to far away. Indeed, because she fell on me! She tripped with her own two feet and ended up on me. She tries to stay away from me leaning on the back of the couch but I pull her closer, her hair got tangled on my earring.- Stay still or you will tear up my ear.She stops struggling and leans her weight on me, and that makes me uncomfortable. It's not like she's that heavy but her thigh is rubbing dangerously against my crotch. As I feel her cheek burning on my chest. Her full body is hot, It radiates heat waves that go through my body.- It hurts~! - she whines.- If you stand still It won't hurt, huh? - I end up taking off the earring and untangling it of her hair - Here, done.- Thanks - she sighs with relief, her cheeks red as an apple.- Are you ok? - I frown.- Huh... - she takes off the heels - I'll go and place all the clothes in the closet.- Take your time - I sign her to go ahead.Once she's out of sight, I leave a deep sigh escape my lips and fan myself. That was a bit... arousing.oOo- Hyun Ae... -ssi? - I knock on her door.I don't know what she's doing but she has been locked in that room for two hours. I'm bored of watching TV and I'm hungry.- Huh... come in! - I hear her say.- What are you doing? - I ask frowning at the sight.She's sitting on the floor, with her back leaning on the closet's door.- There were more clothes than you think inside these boxes - she sigh - I just finished with the drawer for underwears. She brought all kind of them, even lacy and transparent ones!- Wow! Slow down there... - I put my hands up - Too much information. *Growl~*- Are you... hungry? - she blinks - That's why you came, to eat together?- Of course... not - I reply with my poker face. *Growl~* - I'm going out to buy some groceries.- Oh~! Arasso - she nods with a smirk. - Go wash up, you look like a beggar - I clear my throat and leave her there.- Aish!... - she hisses when I'm not there already - Babo.oOo- Yah! Hyun Ae! - I shout from the entrance - Mowh-hae? Come here, palli!- Huh!She walks toward me wearing something girls won't wear to sleep.- What is that? - I ask handing her one of the bags - Kyung Mi didn't give you pijamas?- Oh, she did! Of course she did. But I won't wear them in front of you.- What do you mean? - I frown - Don't tell... she... these kind of pijamas? - I chuckle - I didn't think she could be that kind of girl.- What are you thinking in... It's not it. I'm pretty sure you're thinking in the wrong way. Pervert... - she mutters the last word so I won't hear it.- Oh, sure~! - I smirk.- Whatever - she sighs - What are we going to do for dinner? You bought a lot of things.- Didn't you say my kitchen was empty and that you couldn't make anything? I bought enough ingredients so you can cook EVERYTHING you want - I show her a evil grin.- I get a bad feeling about this - she looks at me in awe.- Well, you can repay me by cooking and doing some housework.- I should do that at least, that's a given - she nods.- Anyway, today we have chicken so let's go eat before It gets cold.- Huh! I think I like chicken~! - she sings.We sit on the table and start to have dinner quietly until she breaks the silence.- Junhyung-ssi...- Huh.- Do I have to go tomorrow?- Wae, you don't want to? - I wipe my mouth avoiding her stare - Don't come then, stay here.- Ani, It's not that... - she hesitates, playing with her fingers - Won't It make things harder on you If I'm there? I can hide here well, so nobody notices I'm here.- Are you going to be locked here until your memories come back? Like a monkey in a cage? - I raise an eyebrow.- I can do it, I'm confident.- Stop the nonsense, there's no way a human being can live like that and stay sane. Kyung Mi knows about you already, there's no way she'd believe me If I say you already left or some bullshit.- There's nothing I can do?- You just have to be sweet, kind, cute, nice and look pretty so The Hound'd fall for you and go easy on me.- I don't know If I can act that well - she pouts.- Just be shy, as you did with Kyung Mi and wear some hot but innocent clothes.- Hot and innocent... - she mutters - Arasso.We end dinner and clean the table, there's no dishes to do today but she says she'd do it next time. After that, we sit in the living room to watch TV quietly. "Quietly".- What should I say to your friends? - she asks suddenly.- Wae? Mwoh? - I ask without looking at her.- It's obvious you'd have to lie.- Why do you think so? - Of course I know why I have to lie to them but I want to know what she has in her head.- Junhyung-ssi, I'm not that dull. I know there's something weird with my body, I felt it too - she has all my attention now - There's a lack of "energy" and then, when you touch me or say something, It slowly goes back to normal. - You notice it? - That's all I can say right now.- Huh... Like falling into a deep slumber, slowly sinking in darkness... - she duck her head - It feels like dying."It feels like dying... It feels like dying... ", these words echo in my head.- Then, as long as you are here, you don't have to worry about that - I try to sound steady.- But... - she pauses - Why It's you? Why did I appear here?- That's something I don't know either - I sigh and run my hand through my hair.- I don't know why but, I think you saved me so... thanks.If you knew the truth, Ghost Girl... You would be more than thankful.- Ah~ arasso! Forget it! - I go back to watch TV.- For everything you have done for me until now and you would have to do in te future... Kamsahamnida~! - she gets up and bows 90º - I'll be going to sleep now.- Huh...- Good night, Junhyung-ssi - she says shyly.- Night... - I say back, a bit off guard.oOoNext morning, we are in a rush. I wake up late and I'm going crazy trying to shower and dress up as fast I can.- Why didn't you wake me up If you're up since earlier!? - I shout to her from my room, who sits on the couch quietly.- I didn't know what time you agreed to meet with them! - she replies.- Don't you think It's weird to be sleeping until 12PM when you agreed to meet with someone to have LUNCH!?- I tried to wake you up! I knocked thousand times but there was no answer - she sighs.- Arasso! - I hiss - Are you ready?- Since half a hour ago - she rolls her eyes.- Let me check on you - I place my hand under my chin and review her from head to toe - Not bad, I might even come out alive from this.- Man Junhyung-ssi approves - she mutters.- Let's go, we're going to be late.I check everything is ok in the house before leaving and lock the door.oOoOn our ride leading to that restaurant the guys love so much, I notice her staring at me and watching all the moves I do.- Wae? Mwoh? - I chuckle - I look more handsome with this clothes today or what?- I know how to drive, I'm sure - she states.- Another rule for you, Hyun Ae agasshi: You can't touch this baby. You don't have a driving licence anyway - I chuckle.- I just wanted to try it.I feel her glare on me and I like it. I like to piss her off and watch her mood swings. I'm not sure If she isn't aware of it but she shows her emotions in a way normal people would be scared to do. She's like a open book.Book... that reminds me I have to check it again to see If something changed since the last time.oOoAfter a ride of less than twenty minutes, we reach the restaurant. Since this was such a private occasion, we chose this one because It has its own parking lot and nobody would see who goes in or out.- Don't worry, they won't bite you - I try to soothe her - You look like a sheep walking in the slaughterhouse.She takes a deep breath and straighten herself, looking more sure of herself. She walks in with her head up and follows me as we walk toward the group standing in the lounge.- Hyung! - Dongwoon is the first to notice me and waves to me.- Being late, as always - Hyunseung jokes.- Always being the bride - Doojoon chuckles.- Annyeong~! - Mi Ri noona waves her hand.- It's been a while, Junhyung oppa~! - Hyun A greets me with a smile.- You're the busy one who went to London not me - I chuckle.- Yah! Let's go eat, I'm hungry~! - Yoseob whines.- Aw~! Kyeopta~! - Kikwang pitches his yeobo's cheeks.- Wait! Junhyung sunbae wants to introduce someone to us. Right, sunbae? - Kyung Mi taps my side with her elbow and signs Hyun Ae to come closer.- Annyeong haseyo, Park Hyun Ae imnida - she bows her head - Pangapsumnida.- Huh, annyeong haseyo - they all reply at the same time.Everyone looks stunned at the sight of Ghost Girl. I can almost hear all their thoughts: "Who is she?" - Hyun A. "Why did Junhyung bring a girl?" - Yoseob. "This is the first time he introduces us a girl" - Mi Ri noona. "Is she korean?" - Dongwoon. "Don't tell me she's his new toy!?" - Kikwang. "What the hell is this, Yong Junhyung?" - Doojoon. "Bye bye enjoy a nice and quiet lunch. Oh! What is that in the ceiling?" - Hyunseung.- Well, as I promised, let's get that handphone~! - Kyung Mi sings joyfully.- Yeobo, you know her? - Dongwoon asks in daze.- We met yesterday by chance when I went to pay a visit to Junhyung sunbae. She's his grilfriend - she winks toward Hyun Ae and me, a shocked me.- Yah! Kim Kyung Mi! - I hiss.- Wae~? You had to say it soon or later so... - she pouts - Arasso! Girls, let's go around and leave the guys so they can talk their things at ease!- Let's go~! - both girls reply with scary energy.- I don't know If I should be scared of that side or this side... - I mutter as I watch how the four girls walk out.- Let's go in, we have things to talk about.I sigh and we all follow the leader inside the private room.- Are you ready for the interrogatory? - Hyunseung whispers in my ear.- Good luck, hyung - Kikwang pats my back.That clearly means they won't be on my side or take part in this. You traitors... I send both of them death stares. Yoseob and Dongwoon just take a seat quietly.- I will try not to lose my composure so, you! You better cooperate, huh? - Doojoon tries to sound "subtle" - Arasso?- Huh, arasso... hyung - I reply reluctantly. I have to act tame If I want to take the upper hand.- Who is she? - he asks straight.- Park Hyun Ae - he "encourages" me to keep talking - We're getting to know each other.- In a romantinc way!? - Yoseob asks in schock.- Hyung... - Dongwoon whines softly, patting Yoseob's shoulder so he'd stay still and don't make this worse.- Answer it - Doojoon demands, with his arms crossed over his chest.- H-Huh - I surrender.This is the only way I can introduce her and don't make it more crazy that It's already. Me going insane alone is enough.- Since when? How did you two meet? Is she trustworthy? Does she know your background? - he gets up and starts to go back and forth - Of course she does.- Hyung, It's obvious she knows who we are... we woked so hard to make the world acknowledge us... - Dongwoon states putting on his cutest act.Go on Woonie! Melt him with your 16D aegyo!- Anyway! How did you two meet?- We were acquaintances in the past but she had to leave to the states. She came back and contacted me. We kept in touch and... we decided to be something more than friends.- How is that Kyung Mi met her in your house? You said you were just "getting to know each other". - At my house... I forgot that little, tiny detail.- You are living tofether?- Why not? Kikwang and Yoseob live under the same roof and they're a couple, Hyunseung and Hyun A are dating, you are engaged and Dongwoon... he went a few steps forward than anyone else - I state - Why I can't step forward too? I think I'm the only one here with the right to do whatever I want with my privacy.- Doojoon-ah, he's right - Hyunseung says softly - We can't dislike that girl just because It might affect Beast. We did hurt our dongsaengs too in the past by our decisions but we got over it together and the fans didn't leave our side.- Hyung, I know this won't be easy. And I think I know it really well. I had to deal with the shock of dating Kyung Mi. Later, we got engaded, got married and now, our baby. They all were hard times for me, Kyung Mi and we made it hard on you all, hyung.- Dongwoon-ah, don't say that - finally Doojoon sits defeated - We are on the same boat, we are family.- That's right! We are family! We are So~ - BaboKwang jumps.- Beast! - and the two babos, Dongwoon and Yoseob, follow Kikwang's silliness.- I hope she's a nice girl and you are not toying with her - Doojoon warns me with his threatening stare - This isn't a game. You can't come later, once the media knows about it, and say you ended it.- Don't worry, I won't - I try to sound self-assured.The truth is... I'm not confident at how the things will turn out at all, If I'm ready to challenge and endure it until the end.  But I remid myself this: She can even die...Perhaps, perchance, just maybe... I'll have the strenght to keep going until I have to end it. Flawless Yong Junhyung​, beautifully...
