Chapter 10 (1/1)

Dongwoon and Doojoon follow me to my car and block my way.- We are going with you, hyung! - Dongwoon blocks the driver's door.- Out of my way, now! - I hiss.- Keep dreaming If you think we will leave you go alone like this! - Dongwoon takes my keys and hands them to Doojoon.- Aren't you coming? - Doojoon asks from the driver's seat.- Why do you have to be so stubborn!? - I frown.- I could ask the same - Doojoon smirks - Get on!Doojoon drives like crazy but It feels like he's too slow for my likes. If It was me, I'm pretty sure I'll step on even harder, until the engine comes out blazing. To be honest, It was the best option (the safest choice) to leave him drive. I don't think I'm a sane person right now.- I'm sure she didn't touch a hair on her head, don't worry - Doojoon states, focused on the road.- I hope so, for her life's sake - I say between my teeth, trying to hold back my rage.- The police is coming too, Kyung Mi sent them the location - Dongwoon sighs.- What are we going to do? - Doojoon asks - We don't know what waits for us there.- I don't care, you wait outside - I'm trying to control myself as much I can in this car that suddenly became too small for me to breathe steadily.- What a cliche... - Doojoon grins - An abandoned warehouse...- Mwoh? - I frown.- This is the address she sent to you - he sighs.- Arasso.No more words will come out from my mouth before getting off the car and running inside, followed closely by Dongwoon and Doojoon. This stubborn family... The first thing we see when we come in is Hara going around trying to run away but she bumps into Dongwoon.- Where do you think you are going!? - he grabs her arm tightly.- Leave me go! - she yelps in pain - It hurts!- I won't let you go Witch! - Dongwoon hisses. It's the first time I see him treat a girl like that.But It's better for her If he's the one who has a hold of her because I don't know what I'd do to her If I'm the one holding that arm.- Where is Hyun Ae!? - I yell at her.- I don't know! - she cries.- You don't know!? - I grab her arm and make her look at me. That's when I notice her lower lip bleeds and her left cheek is bright red.- I don't know! - she blurts - That crazy bitch hit my manager with an iron bar on his head and then, when I was about to read that notebook, she hit me and ran away!- Junhyung! - Doojoon calls me - Come here!- Don't leave her go - I tell Dongwoon - Wae-... ? - I was about to ask.But there's no need for me to ask what he wants because I see a guy leaning on the wall holding his head and blood coming out from the wound on the right side of his head. It's not so serious since the guy isn't unconscious.- Where is the girl you brought here? - I ask grabbing him by the collar of his shirt.- I don't know... - he replies half-asleep.- I asked you where is she!!! - I slap his face, to make him awake again, griding my teeth.- I say I don't know! - he cries - I was watching over her, turned my head for a second and she hit me! She ran away on that way...- If just an hair of her head fell you better prepare yourself because even in jail I'll hunt you down and kill you!- Hyung! The police is here! - Dongwoon calls for us.- Go, I'll keep an eye on this trash - Doojoon pats my shoulder.- Junhyung-ssi, was she here? - a police officer asks me - Kyung Mi-ssi explained it all through a phone call.- She got to run away - I sigh.- She must be around here, sure she didn't go to far.- She's sick, we have to find her officer - I sound desperate.- We'll find her, don't worry.I stop listening to his nonsense since I see Hana standing in a dark alley next my car. I stare at her and she nods, hinting me to hurry my ass up and get on my car so we can talk. - Where is she? Is she ok? - I ask as soon I get on my car - Say something!- She's on her way home, maybe she already got there - she sighs.- Ottoké... ? - I mutter, the last hints of my sanity leaving me slowly.- She ran and ran... and asked for help because she got lost and didn't know how to go back home. She was lucky to run into a bus driver that told her where she could get a taxi to get back at home safely - she explains.- How is she?- Some traumatic memories from her teen days came back along with the memory of her father... - she stares at me - She got a great shock.- There are things I have to hide from her... but there're things you hide from me too, right? - I ask suddenly, out of the blue.- That's right - she nods - I can't tell you everything.I ignore her presence until I reach home. I'm mad at her since she would have came before all this happened. She might have told me and I'd be there to save her on time so she didn't have to go through this. I don't even know how is she right now. I'm scared to go inside and find her...But I go in like a mad person and find LETHyo in front of my room, the door closed, staring at it and crying. I walk toward my room and knock on the door. I can hear the sound of water running. Why do I feel so nervous? Shit!- Kenchana, LETHyo - I pats his head, trying to calm him (me) down.I take a deep breath and then open the door. I see clothes laying around on the floor as I hear the water running, the room full of steam.- Hyun Ae... - I call her name. No asnwer - Hyun Ae... ?My eyes widen when I see her curled in the floor of the shower, hugging her legs with her face hidding behind her knees. I walk toward her slowly, trying to be heard by her so she won't get shocked. I try to reach the tap but I fail at the first try since I get burn with hot, damn hot, water. But I get to close it at the second try.- Junhyung... ? - she looks up at me.- Huh... It's me - I bent down to be on her eye level - Are you ok?- It's cold... - she frowns.- You are cold? - What a stupid question, babo!- Junhyung! - she throws herself into my arms and hugs me tightly around my neck. As tight as her weak body can.- Hell! - I hiss - You're an iceberg!I hug her tighter and pick her up from the shower, dragging her to my bed. I make her sit there while I find a towel to dry her and wrap it around her. I come out of the room in panic mode on looking for Hana.- What should I do!? - I yell at her.- Warm her up - she says nonchalant.- This is serious! It's not like the other times! - I hiss.- I already helped you to find her, that's more than I could do - she smirks - Solve it by yourself this time.- Don't even dare to disappear right now - I grunt glaring at her.- An advise: Don't let her fall asleep until her temperature is back to normal.- Yah! - I scream.- Dare! - she winks and disappears.- Aish!Frustrated, I go back into my room to find her laying on my bed, half-asleep.- Yah! Park Hyun Ae! - I shake her by her shoulers - You can't sleep right now.- Hmm... - she moans.I rub her body, trying to warm her up but It's not use. The only think I can think right now is taking off my clothes and warm her up like in the movies when It's too cold and the leads are close to suffer from hypothermia.- Yah! Hyun Ae! - I get under the covers hugging her tightly - You have to be sober!- I feel sleepy... - her voice is so weak that I almost can't hear her. Even when she's so close.- But you have to tell me what happened today - I try to distract her while I rub her back.- Everything? - she whispers against my neck.- Huh... Everything! You hit a guy with a iron bar! - I laugh awkwardly.- I hit that chupa-chups girl too... - I feel her soft smile on my neck.- I saw it. You did a great job, she looks prettier like that - I chuckle - And why did you do that, huh?- She tried to read my notebook - she tries to move her face away, to look into my eyes.- Why did you care so much about that notebook? - I frown.- Because my memories are written on it... - she blink annoyingly slow, scaring me that she might have fell asleep - And she will find out that our relationship is fake.- You think It worths to risk your life for that, huh? - I ask a bit mad.- You bought it for me - she pouts - I told you I'll cherish it.That words sink deep inside me, making my body feels really heavy but something inside me feels so light that It might fly away from me anytime. It's not until now that I realize she's naked. It's not like I didn't see it. I just didn't care about it so I didn't notice it at all. But now, I feel her body against mine, growing warmer. Thanks that I didn't take off my underwears beause I linked my leg around hers and her thigh is trapped right between my legs right now, against my crotch.- Babo... - I hug her tighter, leaning my head on hers - Weren't you scared?- My memories are scary sometimes... - she mutters - But I wasn't scared of that girl.- Are you falling asleep? - I whisper.- Huh... - she whispers - I'm really tired.- Do you feel cold? - I aks touching her forehead.- I'm not cold anymore - she removes my hand and squeeze it with a slight smile on her lips - Don't worry about me anymore.- Who said I was worried? - I tsk.- The fact that you're like this right now - she smiles with her eyes closed.- You're getting bold - I glare at her but, of course, she doesn't see it.- Since I'm sick... Can I ask you a favor?- Huh...- Can you remind me everything tomorrow?- Wae?- I'm scared that I might forget everything If I fall asleep...- Babo... - I hit her forehead slightly - You won't forget it.- Then... - she hesitates - Can you stay with me until I fall asleep?- H-Huh...- Thank you - she smiles and, soon, she falls asleep.I find myself blushing and avoiding her closed eyes until I sense that she's really asleep. I watch her face, sleeping beautifully with her lips just a few inches away from mine. Unconsciously, slowly, I lean closer and peck her white but soft lips.After that, I frown to myself, not sure of what the fuck got into me and what the hell I'm doing right now. But then, I see her face again and shrug it off, going back to keep her close to me.Close enough to leave her forehead rest on my chest as I hug her and my head rests on hers, falling into a deep slamber.oOoI wake up in the middle of the night, feeling something touch my face. So I open my eyes and meet with Hyun Ae's staring at me.- Did I wake you up? - she asks looking into my eyes.- Huh... - my eyes go straight to stare at her lips.- Mianhae... - she tries to break away from our hug - I'll go back to my room now.She gets up, not caring about being naked in front of me. And I like the fact that we both don't care about wandering around naked in front of each other. I grab her wrist and keep her from leaving. She looks down at me, her long wavy hair falling down her back. The sight of her under the moonlight, naked, It's just too hot. Too suggestive to be a gentleman and let her run away from me.I pull her to fall on the bed to be laying there again, right next to me. But I keep my arms on both of her sides, hovering over her this time. I bite my lower lip just watching her chest going up and down as she breathes. She's too quiet and doesn't look scared.- You know what I want to do? - I ask nonchalant.- Huh... - she keeps looking into my eyes.- Would you allow it? - I lean closer and leave my lips run over her jawline. Obviously, trying to confuse her.She tilts her head to the side to rest her cheek on mine, and I take it as a "yes". That's when I lean even closer to be on top of her, my chest against her well-built one.I start to explore her full body with mine, with my hands, my lips, all that allows me to feel her under me. I have never been this gentle with a girl before but her perfume is sickness and the touch of her skin is insane. I feel stoned by her...Taking my time, I rub her sides, stroke her arms and go up to caress her neck with my hands. Finally, they reach to cup her face and I take her into a breathless kiss. First, a subtle peck, just a simple touch. Later, a longer one that makes her surround my neck with her arms to pull me even closer to deepen the kiss. And we both get wild slowly. I have to admit she's a great kisser and her lips taste delicious.Unnexpectedly, she moves her thigh between my legs and rubs it against my clothed crotch, driving me crazy. I might have left you go out of this room alive 5s ago but... You're dead now. I break away from the kiss to take off my underwears and, suddenly,...- Junhyung...oOo- Junhyung~... I open my eyes and see Hyun Ae's head on my thigh and her arms around it, hugging my right leg.- What the-... how did you end there!? - I whisper.But that's the thing I should care the less right now. She's naked, too close and my hard on is throbbing painfully.- Junhyung... - she moans squeezing my leg tighter - ...Pizza~!Shit!That was a wet dream!? What the fuck is wrong with me? Ani, what the fuck is wrong with this girl!?I try to get rid of her before my little friend can't avoid to pounce on her and eat her alive right there. That's why I get up and lead to the shower, to have a cold one.- I can't believe I have to go back to use the 1vs.5* like a horny teenager - I sigh, getting inside the shower.I take my time to relax my body and get rid of my little friend's frustration. I close the tab and go out to wrap a towel around my waist but, before that, something catches up my attention: Two eyes open widely watching me.- Why is there a porn show this early in the morning? - Hyun Ae asks sitting back and rubbing her eyes.- If you don't want to see it just stop staring at me - I wrap the towel around my waist.- It's not like I want to watch it - she pouts looking away from me.She goes back to lie down on the bed and closes her eyes. I walk toward her and touch her neck with the back of my hand. She gets a bit startled by the sudden touch and opens her eyes again.- Your temperature is back to normal - I frown - You don't feel well?- My body feels a bit sore and It hurts here - she sits back again, covering her chest with the sheet, and points to her side.- Here? - I poke her side.- That hurts... - she winces.- Let me see it - I sit on the bed, right next her - Turn that side.She turns to the side and removes her hair aside showing me her left side, right on her ribs. She has a bruise with a purple colour. I run my hand over it to be sure that It's not swoollen. She throws her head back in pain and I have to catch her before she mades both of us fall off the bed. I hold her by her shoulders as she pants.- I have something there? - she whispers.- H-Huh... - I feel her bare skin against my still wet chest - A bruise. How did you do it?- When I tried to run away the first time, they threw me against a car and I think I hit myself with the rearview mirror - she chuckles - Babo me.- You're too bold, huh? - I get up and glare at her - Why you can't listen and stay still when you can do nothing against these things, huh!?- Why are you getting angry at me? - she blinks confused.- Aish! - I hit her with the pillow on her face and make her lie down again - Shut up! Go back to dreamland!I take my clothes and lead toward the door with an angry face.- Wae~!? - she whines.- You keep making me worry - I mutter to myself before closing the door.I leave out a deep sigh as I throw the towel somewhere. I go back and forth, naked, massaging my temples, trying to control myself and get things straight.Junhyung-ah, you don't like her, you just feel sexually frustrated. That's it, you didn't feed your little friend and he's taking revenge on you now, confusing you. She's just a weird girl. Just... She's just Ghost Girl...- Then... Why did I worry about her? Why did I get mad at her just now for being so careless? Wae, you babo-ah!?I ruffle my hair angrily and get dressed in the living room, being watched by LETHyo that looks at me with a what-the-hell-are-you-doing stare. Then, my phone rings.- Huh, Doojoon.- Mwoh-ah~! Last night I got a text from you saying you found her and then you didn't pick up your phone! - he scolds me.- Mianhae... - I sigh - Things got a bit messy here.- How is she? - he asks, his voice sounds more gently now.- She got a great shock but she's ok. Beside the bruise on her ribs...- You better take her to the hospital to get a full check up.- I'll do so when she gets up - I chuckle - She just woke up and went to sleep again.- I handled things yesterday but you have to go to the police station as soon as possible to settle it - he takes a deep breath - She might have to testify too.- Arasso, I'll leave her sleep just for a while.- Junhyung-ah... - I can feel his concern through the phone - Are you aware that If you report this... It's going to be impossible to stop the media? If you report her and she gets enough charges to go into jail...- Of course I do - I smirk - Don't worry, I'll handle this by myself.- Huh... Just be careful and call me when you know anything, arasso?- Arasso, don't worry.- Hanging up~!- Huh~! - I smile.I go back into my room and walk near the bed. She's sleeping soundly, hugging my pillow tightly between her arms, with the covers just until her waist. I don't want to wake her up just yet but she has to get that check up and we have to go to the police station.- Hyun Ae... - I shake her shoulder.- I'm awake! - she sits back suddenly, with her eyes closed and with the pillow still between her arms - I'm awake...- Mwoh-ah~!? - I chuckle.- I'm awake... - she rubs her eyes.- We have to make a check up on you and go to the police station.- Huh... - she blinks.- Wash up and get ready - I pat her shoulder still smirking.- Are you going to stand there? - she stares at me.- Wae? - I chuckle.- I have to get up to get into the shower...- So what?- I'm naked... - she glares at me.- H-Huh... - I scratch the back of my neck - That's right.- Exactly - she nods.- I'll wait outside, don't take too much! - I snort - You're such a turtle.- Arasso... - she pouts.oOo- How is she? - I ask Hyun Jin as soon I see him come out.- She's getting dressed right now. It's just a mild contusion on her side, the ribs are ok and the bruise will heal soon using this ointment - he pats my shoulder - There's nothing else to worry about.- You have to make an official report to take it to the police station.- Are you really going to take this until the end? - he frowns.- Huh... Wouldn't It be great to have Hara in jail for ages? - I chuckle.- But your relationship will made public If you do that!- That was my point, I killed two birds with the same stone. Isn't that perfect? - I grin.- Junhyung... are you aware that things will get more complicated If you do so?- Ara, of course I know - I sigh.- Why are you doing this? Did you fall for her? - he raises an eyebrow.- Next joke, please - I chuckle.- Then, after all this ends... Can I... ? - he wiggles his eyebrows.- You want to die? - I hiss with a poker face - After this ends we will have a nice break up and she'll go back wherever she belongs. Everyone will go back to their right place.- And where is that? - he smirks - That palce can't be here?- Shut up! - I hit his shoulder slightly.- I'm done - Hyun Ae says coming out from the room - We can go now.- Did this pervert touch you? - I ask her joking.- He did... touch me - she blinks confused - He's a doctor after all, isn't he?- He's trolling us, Hyun Ae-ssi - Hyun Jin hyung sighs.- Let's ignore him then - she gives me her back - Thanks for your help, Hyun Jin-ssi. I hope to see you in other circumstances next time.- Huh, me too - he smiles heartly - You still owe me a meal - he winks.- Yah! Stop flirting with other poeple's girlfriend! - I grab her wrist - Let's go.- Call me whenever you know something! - he shouts.oOo- Why did you act like that in front of Hyun Jin-ssi? - she asks staring at me from the passager's seat.- What do you mean?- As If I was your girlfriend when he obviously knows everything. And I'm sure he knows even more than me.- To tease him, that's all - I chuckle.- That was your plan since the beginning? - I see how she tilts her head sideway - Use Hara to make our relationship public and get rid of her at the same time.- About that... - I clear my throat - Sorry.- For what?- That you had to go through that to get what I want, I didn't know something like that would happen - I sigh - It feels like I used you to my own benefice.- Isn't me who has been using you until now? It's great that you can get something good out of this. After all, I'm the one who got you into this - she ducks her head.- At least my life has a bit of thrill now - I smirk - With all these secrets and mystery.- You enjoy it too much - she sighs.- Well, think about it as a movie and you'll find it funny too - I smirk.- Tsk... I have enough knowing that you might have a spell on me and that's why my body needs you.- Hyun Ae... - I get a serious look on me now - Do you believe in magic?- Magic? - she takes a while to think about it - I don't know. Wae?- Nothing, forget it - I shake my head.- You're acting weird - she frowns.- And you are weird.- Babo Junhyung... - she mutters.I laugh at her for being so easy to tease and go back to my own thoughts. Since I have to choose my words carefully and handle this the best way I can.- We are here - I state.- Do I have to meet that girl in person?- Don't worry, we have the call I recorded and the report from the hospital. You just have to recognize them through a glass, they won't see you.- I... I have this too - she takes out her phone."You know what I did to other girls? *Tsk*... But you were the first to stand againts me and call me trash. How you dared...  *slap* Huh?... Bitch! I'm going to take it all on you! Junhyung's mine! MINE!... But you are special, beause you're the one he recognized as his girlfriend and who made him say these hateful words to me. For you... he did it for you. And... since you're that special, I'll give you a special treatment *chuckle* I'll dig out these pretty eyes you have... these that stares at me and don't even look scared... I'll call your boyfriend so he can see his beautiful girl become an ugly duck... Wait here, he'll take good care of you *evil laugh*... "- When did you... ?- I knew this might help If I came out of it or not... I didn't get the chance to record more since I saw the guy distracted and used it to hit him...  and then, I ran away - she explains.I get off the car and walk to the passager's door before she does the same. I open her door and she get off confused by my actions. I take a deep breath as I close the door and grab her by her shoulders.- You... are you worried that you might have died that night? - I frown.- The only thing I could think back there was keep that notebook away from her so she couldn't mess up your life more than I already did...- Babo... - I pull her into my arms and hug her.This time, I follow what I feel like doing. Hugging her tight, trying to comfort her, relieve all the tension and getting rid of all her fears. Putting all my self to convey all the things I can't put into words, these things I can't say to her. "I'll be there for you, I'll protect you, I won't leave anyone hurt you again,... I'll save you".- Junhyung-ssi? - someone calls my name and we both break away.- Huh... Officer Cha - I clear my throat.- You came - he laughs awkwardly - I'm glad to see you are fine, agasshi. You made us worry a lot last night.- Mianhamnida, ahjussi - she bows, a bit blushed.- Kenchana - he smiles - It was great that you got to run away before they did something to you.- Officer Cha... did she confess? - I asks.- The guy confessed everything, that she threatened him. But she... - he sighs - She refuses to say anything If she doesn't talk with you first.- Then, leave me meet her alone.- Are you sure? - he frowns.- Is she going to stab me while we talk? - I chuckle.- Aniyo, of course not - he laughs - Then, should we go inside?- Let's go then - I take Hyun Ae's hand and drag her with me.I'm not sure but she looks scared and worried. She didn't blink an eyen in front of Goo Hara on the field and she hit her  to protect her notebook and hit that guy too so she could have a chance to run away. Why is she scared now?- This way Hyun Ae-ssi, we will ask you to recognize the guy who attacked you first - a police woman says.- I'll go with her - I state, still holding her hand.- Then, follow me, please.We follow the officer through some corridors until we get inside a room with a big glass on the wall. Soon, the lights turn off and we can see through the glass the same guy we found at the warehouse last night.- Is this the guy who attacked you and the one you hit on his head with an iron bar trying to run away? - the officer asks.- H-Huh... It's him - she keeps staring at the glass in daze. I squeeze her hand tighter.- And It's the same one I slapped right on his face too - I say nonchalant.- He told us that too - the officer laughs - He wanted to report you for that.- Tell him to go ahead but tell him I'll kill him next time we meet too - I glare at the glass, right at that guy's face.- Watch your words, Junhyung-ssi. This is a police station and we could take that as a threat - she sighs - But, to be honest, I don't know how you could hold it in and just slap him. - I needed him to talk - I smirk.- Junhyung-ssi - Officer Cha comes in - She's ready to talk with you now.- Arasso - I nod.I'm about to walk away and leave her hand go but she holds it tighter and makes me turn around to face her again. She frowns, with her eyes staring right at mine. So... You were worried about me?- Don't worry - I squeeze her hand back.- Don't worry Hyun Ae-ssi - the other officer smiles toward her - Do you like tea or coffee?- I prefer tea, thanks.- I'll be right back and we'll go to eat pizza - I wink toward her.- Huh... - she smiles slightly.oOo- I'll wait outside, two officer are ready to go in If It's necessary. And remember everything will be recorded too.- Huh - I nod and go in without any hesitation.- You came? - she smirks.- Woah~! You look great with that uniform, these handcuffs and no make-up suits you. Now you look like the devil you are, Hara-ssi - I grin.- Don't like it too much, I'll get out of here before you even notice it.- I don't think so - I tilt my head to the side - We are a smart couple, you know? - I chuckle - We both recorded something close to a confession from you.- Are you going to report me, really? - she raises an eyebrow. She starts to get nervous.- Why shouldn't I? - I shrug - I have the proof and I love the idea of having you locked in here for a while.- I won't shut up! - she hiss - I'll make sure that the fact you are dating that bitch leaks and make it public!- Go ahead! - I laugh - Ani, you better do it. It'd be such a nice favor from you - I grin.- Are you going to date her offially!? - she slaps the table with her hands.- She's my girlfriend and I want the world to know it so what!? - I hiss - Who do you think you are to harass me, to threaten my friends, kidnap a person I care for!? You better get over me while you stay here cause once you go out I won't allow this to happen again. Get that straight, Goo Hara.- You are mine, Junhyung! MINE! - she tries to reach me with her hands but she has them tied to the chair.- You disgust me - I shake my head and get up - So much that I don't pity you just a bit.- You're mine! - she screams.Two officers come in and drag her out. I get out of there too and Officer Cha's waiting for me to lead me outside.- Are you sure of what you are going to do? - he asks me worried - I don't know too much about idols, I just heard a few things from my younger daughter. She's crazy about Beast.- We chose this path knowing It won't be a bed of roses so... - I shrug - If we fall, we have to get up anyway, right?- I like the way you think, Junhyung-ssi - he laughs - And, can I say something?- Of course, go ahead.- If I were you, I'll get a hold of that young agasshi and never leave her go - he points at her and winks.- Don't worry, Officer Cha... - I smile awkwardly - I won't.- We can leave now? - Hyun Ae asks as soon I reach where she sits.- Huh, we can leave - I nod.- Thanks for you hard work - she gets up and bows.- Huh, take care agasshi.- Good luck - Officer Cha winks - I'll be your fan from now on.- Kamsahamnida~! - we both sing at the same time.I take her hand as I lead her outside this place and I keep holding it when we are in the parking lot where nobody is around. That confuses her.- You can leave it go now - she whispers.- Ara - I whisper and chuckle after it - But I'll watch you closely from now on so you won't get into more trouble. - I'm not a kid - she pouts, getting on the car.- And you have to get used to it since from tomorrow onward we are going to be official.- That means...- That means we'll announce our relationship to the world tomorrow.- T-Tomorrow? Already? - she opens her eyes widely.- And that also means we just can be ourselves at home - I chuckle - I'm going to improve my acting skills - She glares at me - Mwoh? Wae?- Nothing - she narrows her eyes and crosses her arms over her chest - I want my pizza.- All you can think in now is food!? - I hiss.- The fact that I don't say what I think doesn't mean I don't think nothing at all - she states nonchalant, with her arms still on her chest.- What is that suppose to mean? - I frown.- That means I'll stay quiet and don't say a word.- Yah! You have to be honest! You told me you will say everything to me! - I grunt.- Wrong - she shakes her index finger in the air - I said that I'll tell everything I remember, and I did.- Park Hyun Ae! - I glare at her, about to lose my temper - ... Forget it!- Arasso~! - she sings proudly.- Aish!oOoI wait for Hyun A to get ready since we have to lead to the hotel where the press conference will take place in two hours. - How does this look? - she turns a bit to the side - I don't want to look too pretentious.- Well... - I stare at her from head to toe and clear my throat - It's so-so. It's better If you look innocent and don't show up too much skin.- Thanks? - she walks in front of me and takes a seat next to me - Kyung Mi-ssi just sent me a text to turn on the news channel." ...It's been confirmed that Goo Hara-ssi, member of the girlgroup Kara, was arrested the day before yesterday. The charges against her are not confirmed yet but Yong Junhyung-ssi, member of Beast, was spotted in the parking lot of the police station, where Goo Hara stays, comforting Park Hyun Ae-ssi, part of Beast's staff, with a tight hug.Even after the offcial announcement from CUBE ent., stating that they don't have any kind of romantic relationship, we keep spotting them together.CUBE ent. called for a press conference this afternoon. Might It have something to do with the recent events or just-... "- Let's go - I get up and take my jacket.- You look like you are going to an award ceremony... - she mutters.- Yong Junhyung stating that he's dating a girl officially... that's an event even more important than that - I smirk.- I'm going to do like I didn't hear that - she sighs.oOoI walk through the reception hall of the hotel, all the media are here already, leading to the room where the press will take place.Hyun Ae is somewhere else, since some coordi noonas from CUBE came to do her hair and make-up so she can make a great impression the first time she comes out on the media officially.Offcially... I'm getting fucking tired of this word. I'm not nervous at all, I know what I have to say perfectly and I feel a bit relieved that I won't have to be careful around anyone. Plus, I got rid of Goo Hara at once. With this I can change that image of a player they have of me and they will take my work more seriously from now on.Now than I think about it, even If It was hard at first, since Hyun Ae came, things seem to be better. And I feel it, I can feel how much I changed since she's here. I became a better person, someone who takes care of his (fake) girlfriend and treats people with care.Did I really get rid of my bitter self? That one that used to mistreat people and didn't care about others' feelings. Who had girls and used them like toys just to satisfy his lust. The me that was heart broken and vented his anger on the wrold... The selfish me... Did that me disappear?- Junhyung? - I feel someone tap my arm softly.- Huh... Wae? - I look into Hyun Ae's eyes and forget everything that went through my head just now.- Are you ok? - she frowns.- I was thinking, that's all - I let a slight smile leave my lips - Shall we go?I offer her my hand, looking into her eyes, that smile still on my lips as I try to make her feel safe. She hesitates so I just grab her hand and smirk. oOo ~) Hyun Ae's POV (~I see Junhyung walk in the waiting room and I can't take my eyes off him as he goes back and forth in the tiny room. Then, he stops suddenly, staring somewhere at the wall. I tilt my head to the side, confused by his behaviour. I decide to walk toward him.I stand there for at least 10 minutes, watching him and he doesn't even notice I'm right next to him. He must be deep in his thoughts. I made things so hard on him, so much that he has to do something he never did before. Something that risk his future and Beast's.I feel like running away far away. If I disappear right now they can find some excuse for this press confeence, they can say he just tried to comfort me, that we were friends, that Goo Hara thought too much by herself and that's all. - Junhyung? - I find myself calling his name.- Huh... Wae? - he pierces me with his eyes.- Are you ok?- I was thinking, that's all - he smiles. He smiled... Just a slight one, but he smiled looking into my eyes - Shall we go? - he offers me his hand.That takes me off guard and I can't bring myself to get out of there before I ruin his life even more. I look at him in daze, confused, stunned... frozen. And then, with a smirk on his face, he grabs my hand.When the doors open, I'm blinded by the flashes of the cameras. It takes me a while to adjust my sight as Junhyung keeps  holding my hand leading us behind the table. We both stand there while they take pics of us. I notice Jiyong-ssi is right there at the side of the table and others member of the staff are there too. Beast's agent is there to lead the press conference and help us, I think.- After the announcement, please, refrain yourselves from ask Hyun Ae-ssi directly - the angent states.- I'll answer all your questions - Junhyung says with a serious look."The announcement we want to make today is related to the recent events about Goo Hara-ssi, member of Kara. This person kidnaped Park Hyun Ae-ssi and threatened Junhyung-ssi through a phone call. *pause* The reason why Goo Hara-ssi decided to use Hyun ae-ssi as her target to hurt Junhyung-ssi is because she knew about their relationship. *gasps* *flashes filling the room*. What we want to state here is that we will fill a complain against Goo Hara-ssi and take this issue to the court. And to inform you that Yong Junhyung-ssi, Beast's rapper, and Park Hyun Ae-ssi are, officially, dating."- Since when have you been dating, Junhyung-ssi?- We met again when she came back from the states and, since then... - he smirks.- How did you met each other?- Well, we were friends in the past when we were at school but she had to leave for the states with her famiy. But she came back and contacted me. The rest,... You know it - he chuckles.- So... you were childhood friends - the reporter laughs too.Childhood friends? Childhood friends... Why does that feel so familiar? These words keep echoing in my head and everything turns white for a second.Suddenly, I stop seeing the flashes. They are replaced by big lights pointing to a empty stage. I notice a sign with something written which seems to be the place's name: Beauty Café. Then, all the Beast guys appear and stand on the stage. But Dongwoon-ssi isn't there...They start to sing their song Yet. I don't know why but I stand at the back, with a notebook on my hands as I write notes while I watch the guys sing. Then, from the side of the stage, Dongwoon-ssi appears and everyone gasps due to the unexpected event. Is this when Dongwoon-ssi unmasked himself for Kyung Mi-ssi?It feels like I'm inside someone else's body watching all that happens around that person. Suddenly, my eyes go to Junhyung on the stage. He and Dongwoon-ssi stare at the same spot. Junhyung's eyes look confused at first and, later, he moves them to stare at his friend. I watch them exchange stares.After that, their eyes go back to center on that same spot, where I see a girl. Kyung Mi-ssi. And something inside this person's body tears up into pieces.I feel tears burning the cheeks of this heart broken person. But I also feel this person knew it all along, the fact that the feelings she has for Junhyung are a one sided love. Deep inside she knows Junhyung won't ever love her.Her... she... this person... I feel something warm and familiar about this person.She gets out of that place before the song ends and leads to the bus stop, wiping her tears with the sleeve of her shirt. But then, she turns her head to the side and sees Kyung Mi coming out of that Beauty Café. She gets up and tries to call her name but nothing comes out from her lips.- Kyung Mi-ah... - she says feeling pain inside her heart.Then the bus comes and It's not the one she has to ride back home. But when she lift up her head, I see her reflection on the glass of the bus's window.It's me! This person... It was me!~) Junhyung's POV (~They keep asking me stupid questions and I try to act nice and answer them the best I can without messing it too much. Hyun Ae does a great job being quiet. Too quiet.I stare at her and notice she's in some kind of trance, a bit lost. I notice it because I know her and I'm used to this kind of expression. She's in memoryland.- This will be all for today. We hope that you will support this couple and Beast. Thanks for coming.After his words, I grab Hyun Ae's hand behind the table and squeeze it, trying to make her come back from her daze without being noticed and so she won't get a shock. She reacts fast and gets up along with me. We both bow, still holding her hand.- Please, show us a bit of affection for the covers of tomorrow!- Of course - I grin evilly. I was going crazy waiting for this...I leave her hand go and she follows where It leads with her eyes. I cup her face between my hands and our eyes meet. I find something new on them, a new feeling. Like they came to life again, confusing feelings burning within them.I can't stop myself from smiling before I lean closer. It disappears as soon as she closes her eyes and I do the same, her hands gripping my jacket on my hips. I just press my lips on hers in a sweet and long peck. But It feels so good... The way her cheeks feel warmer as she blushes and how she makes it feel so real and pure. Sincere.oOoAfter the press conference, I take her hand and never let it go until we get inside the car to drive back home, where the guys must have everything ready to throw a big party to celebrate we are official.But she's quiet and meditative. I keep stealing glances at her sideway. Maybe something I said hurt her feelings or she just didn't like the fact that I made up that kiss in front of everyone to satisfy them. And me.- Junhyung...- H-Huh...- At the press conference... when I was in daze...- You remembered something, right?I leave out a sigh of relief inside me since she's the one to bring it up first. I didn't know how to ask her. Or, maybe, I just felt... embarrassed.- I did.A long and awkward silence.- Why are you so quiet suddenly? - I chuckle awkwardly.- Junhyung...The way she's calling my name right now gives me shivers.- Mwoh-ah? What was it?- I... I think we... - she takes a deep breath - I think we knew each other before this happened...- I already thought of that... - I try to look steady - Don't worry.- And...- Wae? You have more surprised for today? - I chuckle.- And I think that I- ani, the me back then......I was in love with you...
