Chapter 11

He didnt pick up my calls today. and everytime i msged him he will only reply with a yes. ok. These kind of short phrases. And i just got a msg from him saying meet for dinner. wat? no i love u? no chagia? ahhh i dunno wats with him these days. sheesh. i think he's having the male version of pms. urgh. Being ard his 8 sisters influenced him too much.

RING!

Wait someone's calling.

I didnt look at the LCD display and infuriated my anger at the person on the other line.

"Ya! Boyfriend, now then u know when to call ah? im stuck at home doing nothing. and you havent asked me out for days!"

"Andee-shi, its micky."

Shucks! Micky ahhh wat did i just do?

" Oh hi. sorry i tot it was someone else. sorry."

"haha its ok. angry at jaejoong huh? must be. wanna go out today?"

"go out? yes! ive been waiting for someone to ask me out. ok shoot .where and when?"

"i'll pick u up in 15 mins k.get ready."

#

I knew she would say yes. People must think im crazy, gg out with a girl i kinda dumped a long time ago. I never really said sorry to her personally for hurting her feelings. But she must be happy now with hyung. And now look at me. the most charming model of the season, and im single. ya thanks to jung eum., we broke up a month ago. Love doesnt comes before everything. I guess it wasnt true love. Im gonna pick up Andee. sayonara.

#

"darling! there's someone at the door."

"goody its micky." i thought.

"Bye mum i wont be back for dinner i think. love you. "

I opened the door and there micky was standing with his back facing me.

"Erm micky? "

He turned and flashed his killer smile.

"Hi, long time no see..u cut ur hair? "

"just had it layered and higlighted it only.. nice? "

"beautiful. come lets go."

"Wow u just bought a car? "

"Nah it was a month old. I bought it to cheer me up from..erm lets talk abt sth else. "

"Its nice though.. very sleek i like! "

"hahaha thanks. you're the first gal who gt to sit in it. I had it to drive to and from work and nowhere else. "

"Aww poor baby..i mean the car. haha~"

"hahaha yeah"

and he drove off..

"Ohya. u didnt go out? just to and from work? "

"yes. i hardly get any offdays due to my busy schedule. It just happens that i have a few days off this week so i have some rest before flying off to japan for the next season's photoshoot. "

"wow. u are getting famous ,yes?"

"yeah i feel guilty cause i hadnt had time to meet the guys. "

"U didnt ask them out along? Just me? "

"Im meeting them tmr for dinner. Today's plans kinda got cancelled. Junsu and uknow had to work."

"I see.. So where are we going? its just tea time. "

"Lets go to starbucks. "

"Okie. "

at starbucks.

"what would u like to have? "

"Caramel Machiato please."

"Andee, just a drink? anything else?"

"no that's just it."

i smiled at him. And off he went to the counter.

In my mind i was thinking, there is no way i can bring myself to hate him after what happened between us.

From where we sat, i noticed someone walking into the cafe. She had long dark hair and and big beautiful eyes. Her beauty caught me by surprise. and i was jealous for a while. She walked nearer to a table not far from our place and sat with the male who had arrived earlier than her.

"Andee, here's ur drink.Have some of my cheesecake if you want k. "

I just smiled.

"Oh ya. So how are u and jung eum? "

He stop drinking and looked at me.

He looked as if he was collecting his thoughts and replied " we broke up"

"Gosh im so sorry. i guess that's why u bought the red ferrari."

"Yup. i dont wanna talk abt it k. "

"Ok i understand. If u want to talk abt it anytime micky, u know where to find me k. "

I held his hand, making him feel better. He squeeze it tight and said "thank you."

We both smiled.

"Micky yoochun!" suddenly a gal shouted.

It was her. the gal who came in the cafe 10mins ago.

"Heamin?" Micky gave a shocked face and i was surprised myself.

he knows her? She knows him?

And one peculiar thing is that, he didnt let go of my hand.

#

oh gosh..im late. this is all junsu's fault. i have to buy. ahh.. these groceries jaejoong asked me too. And junsu wasnt even here to help. i dunno were he is. I thought he had a day off. He must be playing soccer with eunhyuk and his friends.Where is micky when i need him?!

When jaejoong mentioned about grocery shopping, junsu was already out from his house. and left me , the one and only fren available in the neighbourhood. Why cant he get it himself? No, his reason was, he had to clean the house. -_______-

Changmin put everything he bought into the car bonnet and drove off the next second.

Thank god i just got my license, if not i have to take a cab. Its really hard to get a cab these days. Especially at this hour where people go off from work. And lucky i ended school early. I feel sth vibrating, its my phone.

"Changmin!! where are you? you are supposed to be at my house by now. I need those ingredients!!"

"hyung! cant you just wait??? i will be there in 15 minutes. Im driving now. Bye"

"Chang-"

I hanged up the phone before could finish calling my name. Hyung, you owe me a feast.

I sped up and was ready to turn left to a corner, the one road leading to hyung's house.

Without any warning, i saw something infront.

I think i just banged into someone.

S***.

Chapter 10

listen to 'love in the ice' when reading.

Jaejoong’s p.o.v

“Will you be my girlfriend?”

The words i thought would come out difficult was so easy as it came from my heart. Her natural beauty and pure innocence took my heart away and that drove me to open up my heart to her. The moment i asked the question, she looked at me once and looked away the next instant. I can see her biting her lips and then she cried. I was clueless. My legs brought me closer to her and i hugged her.

“Shhh. Andee why are you crying? Did i do anything wrong?”

She kept on crying.

“Shhh. Dont cry baby. Im here”. I hugged her tightly and kissed her forehead.

“Do you love me?”She asked.

“Yes i do. With all my heart.”

She smiled and said “ me too..”

The whole stadium clapped and cheered.

I wiped off her tears and smiled back at her.

“ There goes the couple of the day!! Congrats to them. “ Yunho said.

“ Wow. U guys prepared his just for her? She’s one lucky gal. Now i want a girlfriend. Any one interested?” Kangin added.

The gals at the stadium were already screaming on top of their lungs.

“Haha.lets get back to the programme shall we? “


#

Andee’s p.o.v

I do not know what to say about what happened earlier. I did great for the performance and i enjoyed myself but what happened after that surprised me. Jaejoong asked me to be his girlfriend. Now I’m having dinner with u guess who?? Yes, the 5 guys with Siwon and Heechul. Its after the carnival and i think Kangin will be joining us too. I have been silent the entire time. Just a few smiles and spoken words.

#

“I’m sending Andee home okay? Catch up with you guys again.”

“Go home straight ok? Hehe” Yoochun suddenly said.

“Ya, don’t do anything naughty.” Junsu added.

After all the hugging and goodbyes are done. Me and Jaejoong headed to his car.

“ You didn’t each much just now. You sure you’re full?”

“Yeap. Wasnt really hungry.”

We got into the car and jaejoong drove.

“ Jaejoong, can i ask you something?”

“ Of course baby. Call me Jae from now on ok. Its much more closer..heh..”

“Erm jae..why me?”

“Remember the holiday in bali? You caught my attention at the very first glance.
That time yunho and Yoochun were acting pretty weird. But i understand
everything now.”

I smiled. But it was replaced by a slight frown.

Jaejoong noticed it and pulled my face gently to his and said,

“Are you afraid? Afraid that i would do the same like what Yoochun did?”

I nodded.

“Baby, it’s not your fault that you were hurt. And holding on to the hurts from the
past, makes you afraid to love someone. If it was me, I would make your heart
once again. I will fill it with warmth and eternal tenderness.”

“I was afraid I'd cry like my last encounter with love, if the same thing would
happen again. So I hesitated, but you waited for me without complain and so you
came easily to me jaejoong.”

“Everyone has sadness and loneliness. Don’t worry and don’t hesitate anymore. I
will protect you.”

He took my hand and hold it tight. And he held out his pinky finger and said, “i
promise you.”

#

When we reached my house, he brought me to the door.

“I’ve already recorded this date into my phone so we can celebrate like any other
couple out there when it comes to anniversaries. “

“ You’re cute.”

“I know” Jaejoong smirked.

“Hey thats soo...” I was about to pinch his cheeks when he said..

“ oh no, no pinching of the boyfriend ok. Only kissing is permitted.”

I rolled my eyes.

“haha just kidding. Hey you had a great time today? I’ll call you later ok?”

“Today was fantastic. Make sure you call...before...i fall asleep”

“Goodnight then and take care” Jaejoong said and kissed me on the forehead.

“Bubbye. Drive safely ok?” I said as Jaejoong walked towards his car.

He mouthed “Saranghae” before he stepped in.

I waved him goodbye.


#


Jaejoong’s p.o.v

The people who say love can’t be forever,

I don’t believe that,

In my one and only life, if true love comes,

I’ll find out girl,

The thing you can keep,

Is part of my heart...

A smile simply can’t leave my lips everytime i think about her..

Chapter 9

Load songs first [Anystar[] [Love is..]

“Andee darling, Jaejoong’s here.”

“Thanks mummy, I’ll be right down.” I replied.

I stood before my full length mirror and looked at my reflection.
I was in my black skinny jeans and an orange shirt that says, “The One”.
My hair was left untied and i did some light makeup.
I grabbed my wallet and handphone, and rushed downstairs.

#

“Oh my.. it looks like the carnival is so happening!”

“I agree. C’mon lets look around. Yunho, junsu and changmin should be somewhere over there.” Jaejoong said, pointing to the school stadium.

“Wow. There must be a lot of performances today.”

“Yeah I heard Yunho will be performing as alumni. Let’s grab some food to eat.”

“Sure, im feeling hungry already. There’s a snack bar over there.. lets go!”

They grabbed some food and headed to the stadium.

“Hyung! Andee!! You guys are here!!” Junsu shouted from across the field.

Jaejoong and Andee waved back.

“Hey! Where’s the rest?” I asked.

“Yunho is backstage. I dunno where Changmin is. You guys didn’t see him at the
snacks bar? Where else could he be?”

“We didn’t see him there. Oh god, the show’s starting soon. Let’s grab some
seats.”

The three of them went to the center of the stadium where the red seats are. Once they settled down, they could see Changmin coming from the entrance. With him was Yoochun, Siwon and Heechul. We waved to call them to their seats. Soon, the show started.

“Hello everyone. Welcome to our annual school carnival.”

The audience clapped.

“Hi im kangin and Im the mc for today’s event. On behalf of the school, I would like to thank everyone for coming down and joining us. “

“Whoo!!!” The crowd screamed.

“Yeah and firstly I present to you a performance by the juniors dancing to Dongbangshinki’s “O. jung ban hap”. Lets get it on!!! “

[the group of 8 boys danced to the song]

“Wow!! They were good!!!’ Siwon commented after the end of the performance.

“Nah, we’re better. Right junsu?” Jaejoong spoke up.

“Hahah.. whatever hyung.” He returned his attention to the stage.

MC Kangin came out with three other guys. And one of them is Yunho.

“Did all of you enjoy the performance?! I hope u did. Next, we have a little competition, right Yunho?”

“Dats right. The three of us, will give a performance, but with the help of a partner. We will choose anyone from the audience to perform with us.”

“Yes. Now these three guys will go and look for a participant among the crowd. They can choose anyone. Whoever wins will receive great prizes from our sponsors.”

“Wow did u hear that? Andee, ask Yunho to pick u.” Heechul said.

“What? What makes you think that he’s gonna do that?” I argued.

“He is coming this way.” Siwon said.

“What?”

My eyes gazed through the crowd to find Yunho. He was coming to our direction fast!!

“Andee’s scared!!” Yoochun teased.

“No im not!!”

“Andee, will you be my partner?” Yunho’s voice could be heard.

“What? Now? I dunno. What am I supposed to do?”

“I’ll brief you later.”

The rest of the crowd was already looking at us. It will be embarrassing for Yunho if I rejected his offer.

I look at Jaejoong then Yunho. Jaejoong gave a smile.

“Go! U can do it!! Aja aja!!” He said.

Yunho took my hand and guided me to the stage.

"Looks like our participants have found their partners. Lets give them a few minutes to coordinate their performance, shall we? " MC kangin announced.

Yunho took me backstage.

“What are we performing?” I asked.

“I dunno. You choose.”

“What? U dunno? don’t sabotage me and make me look stupid on stage.”

“Of course I wont do that. C;mon lets go to the Dj and see if there’s any songs we can sing..”

It took a few minutes for us to browse through the minus-one tracks.

“Yunho, there’s Anystar by Hyori and Junki. I can sing and you rap. How?”

“That’s a great idea. You’re familiar with the track?”

“Too familiar!! Hahaha..”

“Okay!! Let’s do a great job!!!”

“Wait! Where’s the makep room?”

#

In the meantime, back at the audience,

“Hyung, you're ready to do this?” Junsu asked.

“Yeah.” Jaejoong replied back.

“Lets make the plan a success..no backing up this time.” Changmin added.

“Easy for you to say, im gonna have to do this on my own.”

“We’re here for you..”

#

Backstage

After I added some heavy makeup to refrain from looking pale under the bright light on stage,

“Ready?”

‘Yup!’

On stage

“Lets begin our mini competition!! First we have Tony and his partner!!” Kangin the MC announced.

{the first pair introduced themselves and performed. Followed by the 2nd team.}

“Thank you so much!! Do you like that performance?!”

Shouts and screams could be heard from the crowd.

“And lastly we have Jung Yunho and his partner!!”

The crowd went wild!!

“Who do we have here?”

“Hello im Andee from Seoul high school. And we will be performing Anystar from hyori and lee junki.”

"Great! lets give them a round of applause!!!"

Play Anystar

Maybe,I can be crazy,
Just think that awy,
So, how do I have to be?

Crazy, turn of the light and look at me,
Crazy, don't joke around,

Everyday, you can feel me,

Crazy, listen to this song
Crazy, and turn crazy,
Slowly, now you're finished,

Turn on the lights, move my feet,
I walk out slowly,
My lips shake, my eyes are hot,
Without me knowing it drops

Tonight, I can be deep

# Yunho Raps
Yes, yes, you make me hot

With your one, one movements,

My lips shake, my eyes are hot,
Without me knowing it drops
Shake my body, stop my body,
You just have to follow

Slowly
Even you now, be the Anystar



"Wow!! What a great performance!!! "

The crowd made a standing ovation that made me and yunho bowed.

"Kamsahamnida!!’ I shouted through the mic.

Then the stage became dark. I couldn't see a thing. I tried to find Yunho. I was equally clueless about the situation. And suddenly, the spotlight shone on me and the mc..

But the MC was no longer kangin, yunho was standing at his place.

"We have a surprise today." he said.

"What are u guys up to. it’s not even my birthday." I thought.

[play Love is..]

Then I saw Jaejoong standing on the same stage at me.

The spotlight shone on him too.

I ran to him and asked. "What is going on?"

He gave a smile..

Along with that smile, Changmin, Junsu and Yoochun came on stage singing..

I'm gonna give you my love
I'm gonna give you my heart
Forever be with you
Love always be with you

She came into my heart without me noticing
I was anxious because you came without any preparations

Once a day, I prepare some cool sentences
And I erase and write a couple of times and send you a text message and I wait for your reply
I freely throw away my day, just to meet with you for a minute
I'm nervous because what if these times will become memories?

I love you.. Even those common words stops my little heart
When you come to me, with that shy smile, and whisper…

“Andee, will you be my girlfriend?”

Chapter 8

“Shoot hyung shoot!!” Changmin shouted.

“Ahhhh!!! Changmin stay on the left. Yoochun behind you!!” Junsu added.

“Ahhh!!!! Move move!!!” Yoochun screamed.

“Yaa!! What are you guys playing??? Counter strike?? I wanna play too!!” Jaejoong came into the living room and jumped on them.

“Let us finish this round first then you can join.” Yoochun said.

Jaejoong gives a pout.

“Call me when you’re done.”

The boys were playing counter strike on Yunho’s Xbox. Jaejoong just came by Yunho’s house as the boys took some time off from their busy schedule for some get together time.

Yunho was in his room chatting away on his laptop. Jaejoong went into the kitchen.

“Mrs Jung, what are you preparing for us today?”

“Ur favourite, Kimchi Jjigae and bimbibap.”

“Wow.. can I help?”

“No its okay I can handle. Go and play with the rest at the living room. And call Yunho down. He hasn’t come down since breakfast.” Mrs jung said.

And so off Jaejoong goes to call Yunho down. He went upstairs to see that Yunho’s room was left ajar so Jaejoong peeped in.

“Bah!!!!”

“Ya!!!!” Jaejoong screamed.

“What are u trying to do Yunho? Scare me like that again and im gonna kill you.”

“I heard you coming. Hahaha. When did you come over?”

“A couple of minutes ago. So did you tell them yet?”

“Not yet. we’ll tell them together later..”

“Lets go down now. I want to have my turn to play that Xbox of yours.”

#

They came down to the living room and Jaejoong smacked Changmin’s back.

“Hey!” Changmin smacked back. “That hurts hyung.”

“So who lost this time?”

“We won okay.. without your help jaejoong.”

“Ya right. Let me play now or else..” he gave a stare that nobody dare to talk back.

“This time I wanna play with jaejoong and yunho.” Yoochun stood up, ready to sit beside jaejoong.

“Why yoochun hyung..why??” Junsu turned and grabbed Yoochun’s leg, begging him to stay.

“Be in our team again hyung please..” and there he goes again with his cute tone and giving his cute pose.

“Hahahahah did you see that face? Did you???? I dunno if he is 18 or 1 year old. Hahahh” Yoochun exclaimed.

“I think he is one year old. Period.” Jaejong said out loud.

“Stop bullying him. He looks pitiful enough that he could cry.” Changmin added.

They started playing another round of counter strike. Soon Yunho spoke up.

“Oh ya guys..jaejoong and I have an announcement to make.”

“Are u guys getting married?” Junsu teased.

“Idiot!!!!! I swear I am going to smack your head real hard next time.” Jaejoong said.

“Ok serious now.” Junsu replied yet again.

“Both of us have been accepted to Seoul Arts College.”

“Yeah!!!! Congratulations!!!" Changmin and Junsu cling their arms together and jumps ard.

“Some people are so happy.” yunho thought.

“Lets have a party!!” Junsu said.

“Let finish this off first. Im gonna win!! cause Im the best!!” Jaejoong spoke up.

“Oh please, Shut up hyung.” Changmin cant take it anymore.

“Hey, jaejoong u went to Andee’s house last week right?” Yunho changed the topic.

“Omo!! He did?” Yoochun shouted.

“Was her mum home? What did u guys do? U naughty jaejoongie!!!!”

“Hey wait!! what is that supposed to mean..” jaejoong took a pillow and threw it towards yoochun’s face.

“Her mum wanted me to come over ok? I sent her home from dance class cause it was raining..”

“What?? U sent her home with that posh car of yours? Now she knows that you are filthy rich right??? Show off!!!”

“Ya Junsu ya!!! U cant blame me for my parents fortune okay? I think her mother really likes me. “

“I think her dad wont. And her dad will disapprove of your relationship with his daughter. He will hunt you down and make sure you don’t see her again.”

“CHANGMIN!!!” all 4 of them shouted.

“What?!!!”

“You have been watching too much of Korean dramas!!!”

“Are you going to ask her out??” That question came from Yoochun. “you know im okay with it, you dating someone I used to like.

“Yes!! Bring her to our school’s carnival. Its next week. Its gonna be fun!!!” Changmin said happily.

“Yes!! All the alumni’s going to be there!! There’ll be a lot of games and performances too!!!” Yunho added.

“I’ll call her later” Jaejoong said.

“Oohh.. our Jaejoongie is in love!!! Waahahha Call now!!” Yunho teased him.

Junsu was already reaching for Jaejoong’s phone. He immediately dialed Andee’s number. He signaled the rest to keep quiet.

Jaejoong wasn’t aware of it, he was too engrossed with the game.

And suddenly junsu spoke. “Yeobseyo, Andeesshi. its Junsu here..”

Jaejoong turned and he was really alarmed.

“hi Junsu sshi, you are using Jaejoong’s phone?” Andee answered.

“Ya, he asked me to dial your number. He wants to talk to you though. I’ll pass the phone to him ok?”

“hmmm ok..”

Jaejoong was already going to strangle Junsu.

“Jaejoongsshi, please do the honours..hahahha” Junsu laughed away.

Jaejoong took the phone and mouthed “im gonna get you later’ to Junsu.

“Hello Andee, how are you?”

“Im fine, you?”

“Im great! Hanging out with the other guys today.”

“Oh”

“Ermm so, you’re free next weekend? Our high school is having a carnival. I was thinking if you could go with me”

“Carnival? Ouh that one. Kibum told me about it. I guess there’s no harm going.”

“Yeah, pick you up around noon ok?”

‘ok no problem. Thanks Jaejoong. See you then.”

“See you and take care”

“Okie thanks bye” …and Andee ended the call.

“See you and take care” Yoochun imitated Jaejoong.

“hahahahha.. Love you muacks” Junsu added on. The rest laughed non-stop.

“You guys are dead”.

“Mummy, could you pick me up from dance class? Its raining heavily now.”

‘Ok I’ll be there in 20 mins.” Said Mrs Kim

“Ok bye mummy.”

Class ended 5 minutes ago and I’m on my way down the stairs. I reached the 1st floor and was about to head towards the cafeteria on my right when I saw someone familiar standing and leaning against the wall outside the cafeteria.

“Jaejoong? I thought your class ended hours ago.”

“Hi Andee.. erm.. I … I had some stuff to do and ..and Im heading home now.” Jaejoong lied. ‘You’re going home on your own? Its raining outside.”

“Ya I know, my mum is picking me up in a few minutes. Want to get a ride? I mean get a ride on my mum’s car.”

“Hmm.. I was thinking of sending you home.”

“Ouh really?”

“But its okay then since your mum is coming.”

“But since you’re here, hmm..wait here let me make a call.”

“Mommy are you out yet?’

‘ Not yet honey. Why?”

‘My friend is sending me since he’s already here. So would it be okay?

“ Yeah sure. Hahaha.. bring your friend over then for coffee.’

‘ ok mom see ya”

“Jaejoongshi. I’ve told my mum not to pick me up.. since you’re already here. “

“So lets go then?”

I nodded and walked with him towards the exit.

“Are we taking the bus?”

“Oh no, we’re taking my car.”

“U have a car?”

Within seconds he was already opening the black umbrella he had with him and grabbed my hand.

“ Keep close. U dont want to catch a cold”

I look at his eyes and nodded. It’s freezing outside but his hand was so warm. I kept close to him as he said. And soon we were beside a black Chevrolet Corvette.
“This cant be his car right? He just finished high school, how can he own such a sporty and expensive car?” I thought.

“Hey girl, what are you standing here for? Get in please.”

“Ouh..sorry” I hurriedly got in as he closed the door and headed to the driver’s side.


#


“We’re here. Thanks for the ride. And Jaejoongshi, my mum wants you to come over for coffee.”

“WHAT? Erm..I mean she’s asking me over?"

“Ya, she doesn’t know that it’s a g.u.y. guy. Come along. I know you’re hungry.. “

Jaejoong showed a O_o face.

“ oh come on. She doesn’t bite.” I opened the door and headed to the driver’s side. “Come on open the door silly boy”

“I think I better go now.”

“Honey! You are home already? Who’s your friend?” Mrs Kim came out the door.

“Oh shit. She’s here.” Jaejoong said to himself.

“Hi Mummy!! Meet my friend Jaejoong. He’s so shy. Come, get out of the car please”

“Hee.. “ Jaejoong got out of the car grinning. “ Hi Mrs Kim. Nice to meet you’

“ Come inside. Its getting cold. Let’s have some hot coffee.”

“Psst, since when did you get so shy??” I whispered to Jaejoong while we make our way to the house.

He gave me a ‘I am so gonna kill you’ look.


#


My mum was busy entertaining Jaejoong. And Kibum who just reached home joined their conversation. I went to the kitchen to make more coffee and get more cookies which my mum baked that day.

As I was in the midst of preparing coffee, waiting for the water to boil, I can’t help but observe Jaejoong from the kitchen counter. Jaejoong was a little shy at first, and I do not know for what reason. I think my mum is in love with him. I laughed to myself.

PLAY 'SOULMATE'.

I began to doodle on a piece of paper, and words seems to flow out of a sudden. I started scribbling..

Incompatible, it don't matter though
'cos someone's bound to hear my cry
Speak out if you do
you're not easy to find

Is it possible Mr. Loveable
is already in my life?
right in front of me
or maybe you're in disguise

Who doesn't long for someone to hold
who knows how to love you without being told
somebody tell me why I'm on my own
if there's a soulmate for everyone

Here we are again, circles never end
how do I find the perfect fit
there's enough for everyone
but I'm still waiting in line

Who doesn't long for someone to hold
who knows how to love you without being told
somebody tell me why I'm on my own
if there's a soulmate for everyone

Most relationships seem so transitory
They're all good but not the permanent one

Who doesn't long for someone to hold
who knows how to love you without being told
somebody tell me why I'm on my own
if there's a soulmate for everyone

I was engrossed in my writings and did not realize that I’m not the only one in the kitchen now.

“Andee.. are you making coffee or what?”

“Do not scare me like that ever again. Gosh I’m so glad I didn’t get a heart attack.”

“Sorry darling.”

“Darling??!!”

“Oops. Haha.. I excused myself for a while because I noticed that you have been in the kitchen for so long. I thought some alien kidnapped you or something.”

“You and your weird thoughts.” I rolled my eyes.

“I’m almost done with the coffee. I’ll bring it out front now. Could you help me bring the cookies?”

“Sure no problem.”

Andee was already out of the kitchen. Jaejoong was about to carry the tray when his eyes caught a piece of paper on the counter. He made a few quick steps, grabbed the paper and read the contents, totally immersed in it.

Life after the holiday was normal. Andee and Kibum spent the rest of their school holidays shopping and hanging out with their friends. Tomorrow, a new school year starts. And in fact, there will be more activities for Andee to look forward too. She also received new year messages from everyone she knew, and its a surprise to find those included text messages from the boys she met in Bali.

Andee’s POV

In early January..I entered the dance school with a slight nervousness but I’m really looking forward to the dance lessons. I approached the reception counter, addressing myself and my intentions. Then, I was given a pink registration form and sat comfortably in one of the seats. Bi Oppa said I should have just joined the school’s dance team. I told him that I just wanted to enjoy dancing and doesn’t want to get involve in competitions. Those in the school club are aspiring dancers and enjoy competitions. I prefer to do it for interest and relaxation. Today I was determined to join a young adult dance lessons for leisure. Omma was happy. It made her say, “Is my daughter going to be the next Hyori?”. My mom was being random.

I returned the completed registration form and waited for the response from the lovely girl behind the counter.

She gave me a smile and said,“Andee-shi, the young adult lessons will be commencing in an hour’s time. It’s a coincidence that the class you are joining for starts today. Would you like to start today or next week?”

“Oh unnie, today would be great! Thanks.”

“I’ll process your application in a few minutes and you can have a look around the building while waiting for class. The class will be on level 4, 2nd room from the left. Enjoy your day!”

“Thank you very much.”

I took my Gucci duffle bag and was about to head for the stairs. I was observing the environment of the building when I noticed that there was a small cafeteria. How nice. I entered the cafeteria and was greeted by a warm aroma of coffee. I got myself a mocha frappucino and was climbing the staircase to the 2nd floor.

There were a few lessons going on at that hour. I heard a familiar song, sang and danced by DBSK, “Rising sun”. My legs walked me to the room the song was coming from. The room was large, but there were only less than 10 occupants. Those were children actually, the oldest should by around 7 years old? Oh gawd these children were so skilful. The male adult in front of the class should be the instructor. He was wearing capris and had a cap on. I was mesmerized by the fast movements when the group danced in total harmony to the music. I do not know how long I was standing at the door but I was only brought back from the aweness when the music stopped.

“Ok that’s it for today. That was a great performance I must say. Continue practising and I’ll see all of u again next week.”

He was giving applause to the children and they flew to him, giving group hugs. Aww that’s so sweet.

“Annyeong kyeseyo, Teacher”

I watched as the students ran out of the room. They are so cute and playful.

“I couldn’t help but noticed that you were standing there”

I turned my head to the voice, which was coming from inside the room.

“Ya! Is that yunho-oppa?!!”

“Andeeshi? U finally recognized me huh? How are you?”

“Im fine I guess. U teach here?”

“Been teaching since I graduated from high school last November. What are u doing here?”

“Erm.. just checking out a certain hot teacher.”

“Huh?”

“Ya pabo. I’m here for a dance class. What else?”

“Here to join my class? There is still vacancy if you want.”

“Ya do I look like I’m 7 years old to you? I’m turning 17 ya yunho oppa. Hehehe”

“Haha I was just kidding.” Yunho grinned.

At that moment, someone in white beanies, white shirt and dark denim pants entered the room.

“Yunho hyung! I just finished teaching my class. Wanna grab….…Andeeshi?”

“Jaejoong???” I exclaimed.

“Hey jaejoong you look so shocked. Andee is just here for her dance lessons.”

“She’s here for your class? Ya but your class is for….”

I patted his cheeks…

“Yes I’m here for dance lessons but not from yunho oppa.”

“Oppa?”

“Hahha.. hey I am a year older then her.” Yunho answered for Andee.

“But why doesn’t she call me jaejoong oppa?” He pouted.

“Cause you don’t deserve it.”

“Ya you!”

The two ended up chasing each other in that large dance room.

“Will both of you stop?” Yunho was sitting near the front of the class crunching his knees.

“Yunho oppa help!! Jaejoong is a bad guy.”

I came running towards yunho oppa and sat at his side.

“Ya hyung leave her alone. She’s such a puppy.”

Jaejoong finally gave up chasing. He was panting heavily.

“I’ll get u someday.”

“Not if there’s yunho oppa to save me from the evil jaejoong.”

“Ya!”

“Oh it reminds me. What is evil jaejoong doing here? Teaching students too?”

“He teaches piano for beginners. U wanna join his class?”

“What? like I have nothing better to do!”

“Andeeshi! You are too much!!”

I looked at my watch.

“Oops..im gonna be late for class if I dun hurry. It’s nice to see you guys again.”

“Do you want me to accompany you?” Yunho was about to stand.

“Nah not important. I can find my way. Bye”

I ran out of the room and rushed to the 4th floor.

#

Jaejoong’s POV

“Hyung, do you like her? You know as in …”

I sat down next to yunho.

“Why?”

“Erm..i dunno.. it’s just that I’ve been thinking about her since we came back from the holidays. I’m just so happy to see her today. But.. she loves to bicker with me all the time.”

“Hey.. I treat her like my dongseng. I knew about her earlier than you think.”

“She used to like Micky hyung right?” I guessed.

“Huh? How did you know?” Yunho turned to me, alarmed.

“I figured. You and Micky hyung keep exchanging glances during the holiday. And since Micky was from her school, I guess such things are a possibility since she was so awkward when we met at the lobby on the first day. I mean, Micky hyung was one of the most good-looking guy in Seoul High.”

“Hahaha.. i didn’t mean to keep it from you. You know how close I am with Micky. Micky was feeling guilty about hurting her when he chose to date Lee Jung Eum. It’s not that he hates her though. She’s a nice girl. I hope she finds her prince soon. She deserved it, don’t you think?”

“ Am I good enough to be her prince??. Ya! what are you thinking about jaejoong?!”

I didn’t respond to Yunho’s question.

Instead I said.” I haven’t contacted Micky for the past few weeks. Did you?”

“Yeah I did. He has his own issues to settle. Jung Eum’s parents want them to separate. They think it isn’t appropriate for her to have relationships right now. Micky hyung is really upset. Furthermore, Jung Eum have no choice but to obey her parents. Micky is now forcing himself to get busy with his work to get away from it.”

“That’s not good to hear. I hope he’ll be okay. Let’s meet up soon. All the 5 of us. And hyung, does Andee know about this?”

“I have no idea.”

Chapter 5

The wind blew the curtains off my room window. At that moment, my room was ever so peaceful. I lay on my bed reading the latest VOGUE magazine and hanging my feet on the air. It’s the school holidays already. After weeks of mugging for the year end exams, I’m finally free. Omma and Appa suggested that I go on a holiday with Kibum. But to where? We could ask Siwon and the rest of our friends along as well. I dialed Siwon’s number.

“Yeoboseyo.”

“Yeoboseyo Andee. What’s up?”

“I want to ask if you are interested to join me and kibum for a holiday. We have not decided where yet.. maybe u could give a few suggestions.”

“A holiday sounds great! Asking heechul and eunhyuk too?"

"Could u help me ask them? Heechul, and Eunhyuk.”

“Arasseo. How about Bali? I heard the beaches are nice and they have spas in their resorts too.”

“Oh! Bali sounds great! I will confirm the date later. Call you back later with more details. Ask the rest if they are ok with Bali. Annyeong.”

Bali? Hmmm.. that’s a good suggestion. I turned to my laptop which is already switched on. I typed ‘bali resort holiday’ into google.com search engine. I nearly screamed when the page finished loading. The sceneries near Intercontinental Resort Bali, Jimbaran was magnificient!!

Click here for pictures

“Kibum!! Come here and take a look at this!!! We’re going to Bali!!”

He was in my room in a matter of seconds.

“Hahaha..you’re so excited nuna. We shall book 3 nights at the hotel. Is that enough? One day for the beach. One day for shopping and sight seeing. And add one more day for the spas and the beach again.”

“We surely love the beach don’t we?!! For laughing out loud kibum.!! Siwon is confirming it with heechul and eunhyuk. Is that ok with u?”

“Sure. I’ve known them for quite some time now.”

“I cant wait!!”

I picked up my phone and called Siwon again to fill him with the details. We then made conference calls with Heechul and Eunhyuk. After much discussion over the date, we chose to stay from Wednesday to Saturday, which is just 3 days away. And we’re leaving on for Bali on Tuesday night.

#

Wednesday morning..I was in the limo which we rented to pick us up from the airport ..along with siwon, kibum , heechul and eunhyuk. The scenery in bali was beautiful. The sight of the mountains and plantations, along with greenery of everything, was so refreshing. We made it to our holiday resort in 30minutes.

Heechul and eunhyuk practically ran towards the lobby like little children. Despite the tiredness after the flight, we were so looking forward to the beaches. I approached the reception counter to acknowledge our arrival while the others took our luggage and waited at the lobby. Some were already seated comfortably at the seats. We took 2 rooms, me and kibum in one and the other three males at the other room. The lady behind the counter was about to hand me the keys when I heard kibum shouted.

“hyung!!”

I turned to my left to see him hugging 4 gorgoeus hunks..oh my god who are those good looking guys I wondered. The others were behind him with curious looks on their faces.I thanked the lady and took the keys. Soon I was making my way towards the crowd of good looking asian guys..including siwon, heechul and eunhyuk.

“Hi guys, I’ve gotten the keys..”

The 4 good-looking guys I mentioned earlier looked towards my direction once they heard my voice. Who is so lucky to have them looking at me like that? And soon each smiled acknowledging my presence.

“ Nuna!! Come and meet my seniors from my school."

Who would have thought that the guys in kibum's school are hot hunks. Too bad its an all-boys school..

"This super cool guy with the black hair is Kim Jaejoong. The masculine guy beside him is Jung Yunho. The one on his right is Kim Junsu and lastly we have Shim Changmin. Hyungs, this is my sister, Kim Andee.. What are u guys doing here? On holiday too??”

At the mention of my name, Yunho, the masculine guy Kibum introduced earlier glazed at me with great interest. Changmin if I’m not mistaken answered Kibum with,

“ Yeah, we’re on holiday. It’s so great to see u again Kibum, and nice meeting all of you. We’ve just arrived actually.”

“ Same here. Where are all of u heading?” Heechul exclaimed and asked the guys.

“Hmmm..we thought of going to the beach. We’re still waiting for another hyung to come down. where is this guy?”

Judging from their attire, they are ready for fun. They look so hot in Bermudas and sleeveless shirts.

“We’re heading to the beach too once we got settled with the luggage. Who are you waiting for? I asked.

“Speaking of the devil here he comes..” Junsu said with his eyes looking over my shoulder.

I turned to follow his eyes just to see someone familiar with super cool shades on him. Totally making all the other female guests turn with awe.

“Sorry hyungs im late..” he turned to me and shouted.

“Andee?!! U are here too!! And siwon heechul and eunhyuk!! How are u guys?!!”

“Halo micky yoochun..nice to see you again.” That was what I heard coming out from siwon’s mouth. I was too shocked to even answer.

#

Yunho's pov

I stood there gazing at the girl we just met. None of the guys noticed anything because they did not know. Siwon, whom we were introduced to earlier was her best friend who was now leading the conversation. The girl said hi to micky with a forced smile and said she needed to get to her room. She handed the keys to the rest of her friends and then headed to the lift. Siwon, heechul and eunhyuk practically understood why and just nodded.

"Hyungs, why dont u guys get settled first and we'll meet at the beach?" Jaejoong said.

"Alright. See you later." Kibum said and waved goodbye. I was approached by micky.

"Hyung, i didn’t know she would be here."

"I was surprised as well. I dont think she was comfortable seeing you here but she forced a smile

"i noticed it too. i just hope she's okay."

"hyungs, what are u talking about?" jaejoong interrupted.

"its nothing, i was just telling micky that those were a good bunch of people. Glad that we could meet fellow koreans in Bali."

"oh.."

Jaejoong's pov

i refuse to believe so. i know they are hiding something. Junsu and Changmin are too clueless to notice anything.There's sth about the girl too. Kim Andee. She has an aura in her. Its like when she enters a room, her presence will be deeply felt.I was determined to find out what was her relationship with micky and yunho.

We reached the beautiful beach near our resort in a few minutes. Junsu was screaming and jumping around saying,

" i love the beach!!" I rolled my eyes.

This junsu, he is so chirpy. I wonder how he managed to be so energetic 24/7. In seconds, they were already in the water. I sat at the bench, admiring the beautiful skyline and the tropical weather. This sight is priceless.

"Jaejoong hyung, come and join us." Junsu said.

That moment, hands were on me. Micky and Yunho grabbed me at the shoulders. Junsu and Changmin grabbed my legs. Just after a few swings, I was in the water.

"AHH!! Babo-s!!! " I shouted.

"hahaha hyung!! its so funny!! lets do it again!!" Changmin shouted.

"I'll get you guys for this. How can you do this to your eldest hyung!"

"Dont blame me. its yunho's idea!" changmin replied, trying to be defensive.

"hahahahahahaha" yunho just laughed.

Listen to “how to save a life” Song

Where did i go wrong, i lost a friend
somewhere along the bitterness
and I would have stayed up with you all night.
Had i known how to save a life…

My mp3 is blasting in my ears. There i was, hurt but does he really cares? But i can’t blame him forever. Andee!! Why do u keep thinking of the past. Things happen and you have to move on. Where did i go wrong, i lost a friend. i lost micky, a person who could be a very good friend to me.. babo! stupid me! i slapped myself. What do u gain over this brooding over the past thingy? its over!! just get over it and be happy again. be brave and show that u are independent. You dont have to have a guy. you dont need a man!!There goes the voices in my head. My self-consiousness.

"Haiz..." i sighed.I came here for a holiday and to have fun. I don’t want to dwell over the past. I have to ignore the hurt i felt and make happy memories. i hope the happy memories could overcome the pain. i just hope..

"Nuna, if you are ready we could head down.'' my dongseng asked.

"U and the rest go ahead first. I'll catch up later." Soon i hear the door close behind me.

Im here to have fun. I took my hand and touched my heart. Pretending to grab every thing that hurts, i blew all the pain away. Let the wind take away the pain and bury them somewhere. I do not wish to feel it again.

i looked at the mirror, "i don’t look that bad" i smiled.

I grabbed a pair of shades, swimwear and a change of clothes.. stuffed them into my chanel tote, and rushed to meet the rest at the beach.

#

I was at the beach, but i couldn’t find the guys..Which part of the beach are they?hmmmm.. i'll get some alome time while i slowly find them.I smelled the wind. its so peaceful. the sand tickled my toes... its so nice to have the feel.. walking along the beach, hearing the waves splashed to the shore, and watch the beautiful blue sky..

Suddenly hands were covering my eyes and soon i heard a lot of voices.

"Andee, why were u so late?" i knew that voice for sure, heechul's. roll eyes again.

But i dunno who's covering my eyes. I grabbed the hand and slowly pushed it down and turned. Micky, with that charming smile of his, was standing there just before me.

"Admiring the scenery huh? And kept us waiting for so long?"

I smiled.

"sorry guys. I was a little caught up back there." They dragged me to a spot where they put their belongings.

"Hey, lets play volleyball" junsu said.

"Good idea. Can i play too?" i said.

"yeah sure!!" Eunhyuk answered.

"leave me out" heechul quickly replied. "i don’t want to sweat."

haha that guy simply cannot make it.

"okay so andee, jaejoong, changmin and me in a team. Then we have yunho, micky siwon and eunhyuk in the opposite team. kibum is left out?" Junsu said.

"nevermind. i'll play the next round." Kibum said.

"ok well lets play!" and soon we spent the next two hrs playing.

#

"Oh god these guys are so competitive." I finally admitted.

"haha. Just because you're the only gal here" I turned to see Jaejoong smirking at me.

"yeah, bad luck huh? haha." I replied.

"you are pretty sporty i guess. Much better than any gals i know."

"i'll take it as a compliment then."

"Hehe..wanna grab a drink?" He asked.

"yeah sure.. lets go.

#

The night breeze blew pass me as I stand near the shore. The sea was calm although there were small waves splashing to the surface. The sky was pitch black but was accompanied by twinkling stars. Tonight is the last night. Tomorrow morning we will be off back to Korea. I have been spending the holiday together with the newly found friends. Shopping and all other recreational activities were spent together as a group. Heechul and Eunhyuk were also getting comfortable and joked around with the rest. The five guys from Kibum’s school are great playmates too.

I walked from the shore towards the rest of the gang. They were having a campfire and was ‘burning marshmallows’, literally.

I sat beside Siwon on the sand.“Siwon, where is Jaejoong and Micky?” I was concerned.

“They went back to the resort to take some stuff. They should be back by now.” He replied.

“Oh.”

“Andeeshi, grab some marshmallows..”

“Sure. Thanks Eunhyukshi”I grabbed the packet of marshmallows and took a long stick.

“Nuna, you want some coconut drink?” Kibum turned to me.

“Coconut drink? Is it nice?”I asked.

“Seems so. Heechul just bought it. It’s pretty interesting to drink from a coconut fruit. No preservatives or added sugar.”

“Hahaha.. sure I’ll try some.” He handed me the big green fruit. A small circle was cut on the top and I just put a straw into it.

“Not bad. We don’t have these in Korea.”

That moment, I saw Jaejoong and Micky returned. Jaejoong took a seat next to me while Micky sat at the opposite. I could see his face across the campfire.

“I brought a guitar. Let’s sing a song.” Micky spoke up.

“Lets sing 'One' by Dong bang shin ki. Everyone know the song rite?” Junsu suggested.

“Iye..” everyone answered in unison and nodded.

“Hmm.. how do I play it..” He was figuring how the tunes should sound and played with the guitar.

“I think that should be it. Jaejoongie will sing first right, and we will all sing the chorus together.”I shivered. The breeze is so cold. I should have gone back to the resort and take my jacket.

Suddenly Jaejoong said. “Hey. You look cold. Here, take my jacket.”

“Nah.. its ok.” I was rejecting it politely. He was already taking off his jacket and putting it over my shoulder.

“That’s very kind of you. Kamsahamnida.” I thanked him and smiled.

“No problem.” Jaejoong said and smiled back.

The strumming of the guitar began. (Play ‘One’ by DBSK)

The days I've been dreaming of, are already here,
I feel it through your hand that I'm holding now.
Because you might I’ve been too far away,
I couldn’t tell you anything.
Without knowing my hidden feelings.
What are you feeling?
Even that distant future reflecting from your eyes,Is all of it mine?
I guess I’m living.
Thank you, for I have everything.

At this moment I was mesmerized by the junsu's and jaejoong's powerful voices.
And all of us sang..

Someday I’ll lay my love on you.
Baby I dont wanna lose it now
Just one, just you
Someday, like the day we met
The reason I live
My heart, only for you
You know.

and Yunho continued...

The past days tell me, how long love will last.
At the days end, you’re always waiting for me.
I am happy, as I love you.
We can be forever, wherever in the world
Just one, just you
My life’s only love there ¡s no one except for you.
I know, I believe
Forever

Jaejoong turned to me and sang..

Amongst how many people did you search for me?
Now, I am headed towards you.

I was embarrassed. I pretended I didn’t notice and looked across.

Then Micky continued to sing.

I pray for this love to be true, wherever in the world,
miss you my baby you for just a bit longer,
stay by me

Going beyond these moments, like lies
to ever changing days..

“Omo!! I never knew you had strong voices!!” Heechul and the rest gave a round of applause.

I sat there smiling. But I still didn’t make any eye contact with Jaejoong.

Junsu sat there smiling shyly.

“Nah, we’re not that good. We are still improving, but thanks to your praises everyone. Thank you.”

“So are u guys planning to become singers someday?” Siwon asked.

“ Junsu is planning to sign a contract with a recording company. So we should hear from him soon..” Changmin who sat beside Junsu patted his friend’s back.

“Oh that’s so cool.. and the rest?” Eunhyuk continued.

“Me and Jaejoong haven’t decided what to do. However, most probably we will continue with college once we get our results. We were thinking of joining Seoul Arts College.” Yunho replied.

“Yeah. Good for them. I have one more year in high school with the rest of you guys. There’s not much that I can do” Changmin continued.

“Micky will be modeling for Armani Exchange I heard. Aint that right hyung?”

Micky nodded and smiled shyly.

“Wow. Our sunbae is going to be famous. More girls is going to chase after him.” Heechul said. I can’t help but laugh. Who would know how true that statement was.

The rest of the night was spent singing songs and playing games. I was enjoying myself and was thinking about Omma, Appa and Ji Hoon oppa.
I miss them so much.

chapter 4

Oh moributho balkuthkaji da sarangsurowo
oh niga naui yojaranun ge jarangsurowo
gidarimi julgobgo ijen gonggimajo
dalkomhe irohge norul saranghe..

There goes my ringtone. (Kim Jong kook’s Sarangsurowo)http://emptysoul.imeem.com/music/0rumHhWT/kim_jong_kook_sarang_su_roh_oohyoure_lovely/
Hmm… Who’s calling? I want to sleep!!!

My handphone screen displayed: Choi Siwon

“Yeoboseyo?” I said, more like whispering though.

“Kim Andee! Where are you? Why aren’t you in school? Yeoboseyo! Andee are you ok?”

“Siwon-ah… I’m not well...”

“What? You’re sick? Sorry to disturb. Get enough rest, ok? I’ll come by later to pass you your assignments from your favourite teacher. I think he misses you already… Hahaha…”

“Very funny, Siwon. What time is it now?”

“It’s already noon, my dear.”

“And on your way can u bring kimchi ramen. Haha... I know I’m sick but I cant help it! I’m craving for kimchi ramen.”

“No problem. See you later. An-nyeong…”

“Annyeong.”

I pressed the end call button and placed the phone on my night table. For a few seconds I stared at the ceiling. I can’t go on like this. Feeling miserable and crying all night till I got sick. Thank god the medicine Oppa gave me got rid of the high temperature. I got out of bed and head to the bathroom. Siwon should be here in about an hour’s time and I can’t be seen like this; with my unkempt hair and pajamas from the previous night.

#

“I feel refreshed!!” I screamed. My voice echoed through the whole empty house.

“Ding dong…” the doorbell rang..Ey… Who would that be?I was about to open the main door when it automated. The person behind it screamed.

“Noona! Why were you standing there? You shocked the hell out of me with that pale face of yours!”

“Yah! Hahaha… I was about to open the door for you, pabo!! And why are you back so early?”

“For my dear sister, I cancelled dance practice so that I can take care of you. And I also brought back porridge. You know what a good dongsaeng I am, don’t you?” Kibum smirked.

And you know how cute he looks every time he does that.

“Aww... That’s so sweet... I’m feeling better already. I don’t think I want to eat porridge today.”

“Yah!!”“Ok ok... Thanks for the porridge!” And I gave him a kiss on the cheek.

“Eww... Don’t ever do that again!”

And he ran off to his room…I stood there laughing...

“Ding dong…” goes the door bell again.Yah!! Who is it this time?

“Siwon!!!” I was practically jumping... Not because my best friend was there at the door but because he brought me kimchi ramen!!

“Parle parle! Open the door.”

“Ok ok... Please be patient.”

“I thought you were sick but you can still jump around and scream?!”

“Hehe... I got better in the past hour...”

“Whatever!”We both went to the kitchen and prepared the food.

“You have not taken lunch yet?”

“Nope. I wanted to accompany you eat.”

“Oh... KIBUM!! Come join us for lunch!!!”

“Coming!!”The three of us sat at the dining table. I shared my portion of the food with Kibum.

We ended up sharing the porridge too.

“Andee, why did you suddenly get sick?”

“Ya noona… You seldom get sick..”

I kept quiet and there was an awkward silence for a few seconds.

Siwon and Kibum looked at each other.

“Park Yoochun,” I suddenly said.

“Mo? Park Yoochun hyung? Why? What happened?”

“Who’s Park Yoochun?”

“He’s the guy your sister’s desperately in love with.”

I smacked his head that instance.

“He said he loved Jung Eum more than me. He said it last night.”

My voice started to tremble.

“He was the first guy I really liked. But..."

I quickly wiped my tears before it fell down my cheeks.Both of the guys kept quiet and listened…

“I was devastated last night. I cried myself to sleep. And the moment I woke up, I wasn’t feeling so well..."

Siwon and Kibum stood up and hugged me. Kibum on the left and Siwon on the right.

“Oh poor noona... Are u sure you’ll be ok?”

“I’m ok now... Guess there’s nothing to be sad about... He simply isn’t the one… Right?”

“Yup. There are more charming guys out there besides Yoochun hyung... You’ll get to meet him someday. Don’t be so sad ok? You still have us...”

“Thank you guys! Thank you Siwon, thank you Kibum..”

I embraced them both, as tightly as I could..

“Haiz…”

‘Stop sighing, will you?”

“Should I keep myself busy? Try out new things... So I won’t think too much?"

“Yeah you should. How about joining the school’s dance club? That should keep your mind off things and you can dance your heart out..."

“Yeah why not... I can dance right Kibum?"

“Haha… Yeah. Ji-hoon oppa can dance, so can I… But… It has been years since I last saw you move. Hmm... Since the Britney craze, I think. You only know how to dance to Britney’s songs... Lol...”

Beep. Beep.

“Noona, isn’t that your phone?”

“Hmm... My phone? Ouh..”

New message received: Micky Yoochun“Hi. I didn’t see you in school today. Is everything ok?”

“Siwon-sshi.” I pass him my phone.

“Mo? What’s with your phone?”

“Speak of the devil. Read the message. What should I say?”

“Erm…” Soon he was typing away on my phone.

It took him a few seconds to pass me the phone back with the message on the screen: “Talk to you next week when I see you in school, aight? Bye.”

“I should just talk to him face to face on Monday. I can’t pretend that I’m okay with everything.”

“Yup, you should. You only have 2 months to bear. After that he’ll graduate.”

#

Siwon left an hour later. Kibum and I decided to laze around and watch some dvds.

“Noona, omma and appa are coming back this weekend right?"

“Yeah, oppa said they have contacted him and they should be on the 9am flight back home on Sunday.”

“cool!”


Chapter 3

The next few weeks of knowing Yoochun was heaven. He would call me at home and we would talk for hours. We would talk about all things, be it things related to school or personal matters. Sometimes he would also share some problem that he faces at home, his family, etc. All I did was trying to be a good friend and gave him a shoulder to lie on. Each and everyday we’ll exchange text messages. And also the usual good night messages before we head to bed. He would check up on me if I have already slept or not. I do not know where I plucked up the courage but one day..

“Chunnie, I like you” I said honestly.

“Mo? You like me? Really?” he asked me, surprised.

“Yeah. Really… I’m honest.”

“Haha... I like you too… ”

“Ahh! This is embarrassing. Thanks for making me happy all these while…”

“What is it about me that you like?’'

“Oh... Didn’t anyone ever tell you that you have a really charming smile?”

“Nope, nobody ever said that.”

“Your smile can make anyone fall in love with you. What about you? What is it that you like about me?”

“You are tall, smart and beautiful…”

“Thank you. Haha… I really don’t know what to say…”

“There’s no need for you to say anything... What else do you like about me?”

“Let me see you’re funny, tall and fair skinned, kind of like my dream guy, really.”

“Aww… That’s so sweet... Andee can I say something?”

“What is it? Go on, you can say anything…’

“There’s something you need to know… And I think you should know”

“Besides you, there’s someone else that I like…”

Those few words pierced through my heart like a shooting arrow, released from a stretched bow.I pretended to be calm and asked,

“Who is she?”

“You know, Lee Jung Eum from the 2nd class in your grade?”

Oh my god why does it have to be her? I know this girl personally. She’s not just an ordinary schoolmate, she’s a friend. A nice one for that matter.

“Andee, she knows about you too.”

I don’t how long they have been close but comparing my relationship with Yoochun which has only been into its first few weeks, I think she must have hated me when she found out. I really don’t know what to say or feel.

“Who do you like more?”

“I can’t answer that question right now… Mianhe…”

Micky’s p.ov.

I was sitting by the window and looked at the message Andee just sent me... She just confessed that she likes me. At least she got the courage to confess it. Now I’m confused. There two very special gals in my life right now. I bet they are fuming mad, wanting to know who I will choose between them... I looked at the scenery outside the window but not mesmerize by anything… Everything seems to be blur.

“Yoochun ah. You seem preoccupied with something. Is everything ok?’ Yunho asked.

“Hyung, can I ask u something?’ Yunho is a very close friend of mine. Although he goes to a different school, we have been childhood friends for so long

If you were in love with two girls what would you do?”

“Whoa. Two girls? At the same time? Chun ah you’re one amazing guy! Hahaha…”

“I’m serious hyung”

“Sorry. But I have no idea. Why?”

“You’re not helping hyung”

“This is something not to be taken lightly. But personally I think now is not the right time to talk bout relationships and love. You’re only 17; you have so much ahead of you. It’s not an important matter now.”

“But the girls are waiting for an answer from me.”

“Since you put it that way, search within your heart and you‘ll know who is the one for you. But like I said, now is not the right time.”

*sighs…

“Thanks hyung.” I gave him a hug.

“I’ll think it through... “

#

The next day in school, When I see Jung Eum in school, I feel different, knowing that we both like the same guy. How can a guy like two gals at the same time? Who does he like more? Who does he love more? Just thinking of these questions makes my head spin. I will just have to act as if nothing has affected me. While walking up the stairs, I saw Jung Eum. She was walking towards my direction…Suddenly I became nervous…Will she attack me or something… Oh God, help me now...

“Andee sshi, hi how are you?”

“I’m fine, thanks. How are you?”

“Yoochun told me about you”

“Yeah he told me about you too”

“How long have you known about this.”

“The moment he started liking you, he told me. What do you like about him anyway?’

“He has a nice smile.”

“Yup. And he’s a nice person isn’t he?”

“Iye... Yoochun is really an honest and nice person...”

“Do you have any idea who he likes more?”

“I don’t know. Erm… I need to go somewhere. Talk to you some other time.”

I just made an excuse about that... I really can’t tolerate it anymore. Who’s to be blamed? Yoochun for having 2 love interests at the same time, or Jung Eum? Or is it simply me, who came between them? Oh God. The headache’s becoming worse.I could not concentrate on anything else the whole day. I think, worrying about things get the better of me. I even ignored Siwon. Sorry, dear best friend.That night, he sms-ed me.

“I heard you’ve talked to Jung Eum. Are you girls ok with each other? I was expecting a not-so-friendly encounter.”

“Nah… Everything’s fine. Jung Eum must be telling u a lot of things."

Then, he told me he liked Jung Eum more. I couldn’t bring myself to ask why.

“I know that you are jealous of her. How I wish there were two Yoochun-s in this world, one for each of you…”

kept silent.

“If I date her and then we break up? Will you accept me back?”He’s posing questions I cannot answer.

“Err… Chunnie... I do not know if I can. Maybe when the time comes, I’ll have an answer… I’ll let that question remain unanswered for now.”

All the while I was saying its ok. I said it’s ok...but truthfully its not. I guess its better that he told me now then later when I’m deeply in love with him. But don’t you think I’m thinking too positively? Ah!!! Why am I so nice?! I blasted the room with music and the song playing was lately by jodechi. I guess my premonitions were right. Tears just keep flowing...

(Play the song “lately” by junsu if u want. Jodechi’s the original singer)

Why is it that when I’m like someone, so close to the guy of my dreams, he gets snatched away? Why must my love be shared? Why must he like someone else too? What does she have that I don’t? And why am I acting so nice? Being ok with it all? I don’t understand myself really.

Lately, I have had the strangest feeling
With no vivid reason here to find
Yet the thought of losing you's been
hanging 'round my mind..…

Well, I'm a man of many wishes
Hope my premonition misses
But what I really feel my eyes won't let me hide
Cause they always start to cry
Cause this time could mean goodbye

Lately I've been staring in the mirror
Very slowly picking me apart
Trying to tell myselfI have no reason with your heart

#

I woke up the next morning to the ring of the alarm clock. My head is so heavy... My eyes are swollen due to too much crying last night… How can I go to school like this? I can’t even bring myself to move out of bed. I could hear someone knocking on the door. That should be Ji-Hoon oppa.

“Andee, its time to wake up for school.” I didn’t reply.

“Andee...” he came closer to my bed.

“Are u ok?’ he touched my hand, “Why is your hand warm?” Then, he touched my forehead.

“Do you have a fever?"

“Oppa, I don’t want to go to school today.”

“I’ll get some medicine and you’ll have to rest at home today.He took off.I pulled my blankets and covered my face.He came back a few minutes later and brought a piece of bread and some medicine.

“Eat this first before eating your pills.”

“Arraseo,” I spoke in a faint voice

Nuna, I’ll bring back some porridge for you ok? If you need anything please call oppa or me?” Kibum said.

Now I feel like I’m the youngest sibling. What would I do without these two?

“Oppa and Kibum will leave first. Bye!” Ji-hoon oppa shouted.

Then I heard the main door closed. And at the same time I dozed off to sleep.

Chapter 2

The whole chapter is based on Andee’s p.o.v unless stated otherwise.

What am I going to do? He’s right in front of me. Just pretended I do not know him.. Know what I did? I either look down or look outside the window. That makes my neck hurt..alot. I was so tired and I fell asleep..oh gawd its so embarrassing..(u noe when u sleep in the bus u dunno where your head is turning to.. keep nodding down.. u guys know what I mean right?) when I woke up its just happened to be my stop. When I alighted, i can feel a pair of eyes behind me..

I reached home and saw Ji-hoon oppa in the kitchen.

“Oppa! U are home so early?”I exclaimed

“Im done with the work in the office and I just wanna spend more time with my favourite dongseng. Do u have any plans for today?” Ji-hoon answered with a wide smile.

“So sweet of u.(pinching his cheek). Siwon have dance practice so I am free for the day. Is kibum back yet?”

“Nope. He has gone out with his friend. Wash up and change will ya. We go out for dinner tonight.”

“Yippie! We go to the new restaurant in town ok? I wanna see what they have there!”I answered while running up the stairs.

That’s ji-hoon my eldest brother and kibum is my youngest brother. My parents are overseas currently on a business trip. They wont be back until next month. Im closest to ji-hoon oppa. Kibum is always busy. Either he has dance class or he will hang out with his friends.

The next day in class..

“ You didn’t come online last night”. Siwon asked.

“ yeah.. Sorry I was too tired when I gt back home after having dinner with oppa. Was there anything urgent? How’s dance practice?” I replied while taking out my books.

“ Nothing urgent.. And dance practice was awesome as usual. Eunhyuk and me came up with a new choreography for an upcoming competition. Coolness really. Anyway, hows micky yoochun?” My eyes widened.

“ did I tell u that he took the same bus as me yesterday? No? and he sat facing me? It was so awkward” I said everything in one breath.

“ he did? Cool..go and talk to him.” Siwon look so enthusiastic when saying that.

“ Huh? U think I can do that?” I said, raising an eyebrow.

“ Sure why not. Its nothing wrong. Just say hi when u see him later.” He said grinning.

“ errr..nevermind”

I didn’t concentrate in class. Siwon keep nudging me to stop daydreaming..haha..i really cant help it.

“ I need to go the ladies. Check the answers for me will ya. thanks” I raised my hand to excuse myself from the classroom and headed to the door.

I was about to enter the female toilet and some guy came out of the gent’s and block my way. I moved right he also moved right. I moved left he moved to the left too. So I decided to just stay put.

“Hmm..tell u what.. u stay and I walk to the left OK?” he said.

“oh okay.” I giggled and looked up.My heart jumped a beat. He already walked pass me. I stood there for a couple of minutes. But the guy came back.

“Hey are u ok?” “Errm..im fine ..”

“Im park yoochun. U look familiar. U sure your ok?”

‘Yes im sure. I need to go to the ladies now.”

I left him there standing.

Micky Yoochun’s p.o.v

That girl’s cute. She’s the one from the bus isn’t she. And she’s the one who is always with Siwon from the dance club? I wonder what’s her name. Im gonna wait for her after school.

(He walked off.. grinning to himself)

#


“Andeesshi miahne. I have dance club meeting today. U go ahead first.”

“Staying back again? Will it take long? If it doesn’t im gonna wait.”

“It will take long. U just head home.

I walked out of the school gate and I saw Micky Yoochun waiting outside. Who is he waiting for? Girlfriend? Haha. I dont want to think further. I walked and sang a tune.

“Eh hi there?” I heard someone from behind said.

“U're the gal from the toilet today? U ok?” With a concern voice he said.

“Err… yes im suuuureee..”

“I think u didn’t get my name the first time. Im Park Yoochun and u are?” (is he kidding me? Didn’t get his name the first time?)

“Andee. Kim Andee.” (i shall concentrate on giving one word answers from now on)

“Oh.. How come you’re going home alone”

“My friend had something on so he couldn’t accompany me home.”

“Then can I accompany u home?”(oh god..im melting)

“Nah its okay. Are u a senior?” I asked.

“iye. Im graduating in 3 months. And the finals are coming soon.”(what? 3 months left?)

“Ouh all the best then. I guess senior year is tough.”

“Haha.. definitely tough but going through all the hardship with your dear friends makes it a whole lot easier.”

We talked all the way home until I alighted from the bus. He can really talk..that guy. He asked for my number and messenger email. Ouhhh..im one lucky girl.

Chapter 1

“Choi Siwon! Wake up. The teacher’s here!” I shouted.

"Huh? What?? Oh teacher..and do u have to smack me that hard?” Siwon retaliated.

“I have to, if not your not gonna wake up and the teacher’s gonna scold u and then she wont let u go for lunch and I wont go for lunch either cause your not having lunch.” I smirked.

“hahah..okok I got it already..” Siwon said while laughing away..

The class greeted the teacher and she began settling down. I looked at Siwon and smiled. I dunno what I would do without him. We have been friends since I entered this high school a year ago. He helped me to adapt to the school’s environment..i owe him alot. People think we are dating, but no we’re not. I just can’t think of him that way. He’s the bestest bestest friend ever! He has a nickname too. I usually call him Simba to get him irritated. Haha.. Cause he looks like one. hahaha.. ok I better stop the teacher is gonna start her lesson soon..

#

Class ended in an hour and we are off for lunch..

“Andee-sshi!! What drink do u want? Ya Kim Andee!!”

At the moment I didn’t hear what he was saying..i was looking at one direction only. I dunno why throughout the past year I didn’t noticed a hunk in our school. He should be a senior I think. He’s tall and cute! He’s talking to his group of friends and his smile is Aahhh!! Am I daydreaming? Wait im gonna pinch myself. Ouch .. no its real.. And suddenly I saw hands covering my face..

“Ya Siwon sshi!! What on earth are u doing?” I yelled.

“No what are U doing? I’ve called u for like a million of times and u didn’t respond. Are u ok? (touching my forehead) No. no fever. Ya have u lost ur sense of hearing!!” Siwon responded.

“stop shouting la! Its so embarrassing u noe!! Aish! What do u want?!”

“What drink u want.. I asked u since just now?”

“strawberry juice. the normal one.”

During the minutes of the mini argument, Andee did not realise that a pair of eyes is looking at her. The guy smiled to himself.

When Siwon came back..“Siwon ah. Do u know who is that guy? What is his name? what year he is in? How come I never see him in school before?”.

(Siwon almost choked)

“Whoa..one at a time babe. Why ah? You're interested in him?”

“I don’t know. Maybe..”

“hahahaha..”

“Why did u laugh?”

“Nothing...oh he’s a sunbae. Park Yoochun is his name. We just call him Micky”

“ouhhhh…" (then I smiled cheekily)

“Ya! Why are u smiling like a mad person!!”

“Annyeonghaseyo! Ya why are u shouting at nuna?!” Kim Heechul came.

“She likes Yoochun hyung” Siwon quickly responded.

“Ya Siwon sshi! “ I covered his mouth

hahaha..chongmal?” Heechul was surprised.

“no chullie, he’s just kidding” I said.

I gave Siwon a stare..equals to a warning...

#

“Andee sshi , I have dance practice today.” Siwon told me when school ended for the day.

“Ok I go home first. Annyeong.” I said and waved him goodbye.

I went off and bumped into Heechul and his friend, Eunhyuk. I gave them a smile and said goodbye.

Andee’s P.O.V

I was waiting for the bus. I was thinking of what to do today. Why is the bus so late?! I’ve been here for 20 mins ah..Aish!!Eyy why is there sumone here. Just now there’s nobody. Wait a minute. From the side view I feel like ive seen him before. Aish.. nevermind la..eh the bus is here.There’re only a few seats left..I went to the one near the door.. and I noticed the guy from the bustop took the same bus as me and he was sitting at the seat opposite me and facing me..Aigo! Aigo!…its sunbae, Micky Yoochun..
