You are just some ordinary girl who loves photography, stars and simple things.

Your family is in middle class you are well provided of the things you need in life. Even though you it's been a year since you've started to live on your own -because you don't want to be a burden to your parents- your parents still give you things that you need. Right now you live with your best friend in an apartment with a private access to the roof deck; a great spot for your star gazing and photography stuff. Now, you're a freelance photographer and photo editor/manipulator to some prestigious magazines and websites. You're not that well known but people are starting to recognize your work. Apart from your work, you also have your so called 'alter ego', your blog that says everything about you and the little things you like most, the stars. It's Saturday and you were fishing for something to do since you're a freelancer, you don't have definite schedules to attend to - well, except on your blog and your star gazing every night until whatever time. That's why you often lack sleep; let's just say you're the favorite customer of the small coffee shop beside your apartment. So you took your laptop and searched the net for something to do, and there you spotted '3 Weeks Photography Refresher's Class' and it's gonna be conducted by a well-known photographer. It'll start this Monday from 9:00a.m - 12:00n.n.

*Seems interesting... I think I'll give it a shot.* You thought and enrolled yourself online. Even though you already have a knack in photography, you often get inspiration from the people you get to know along the way, especially when you take classes like this.

"Beep! Beep! Beep!...!!!" That's your annoying alarm clock that you've been pressing to snooze since 6:30a.m. You opened an eye to see the clock ticking 8:30a.m. "Shoot!" You exclaimed and immediately jumped off your bed. You're already late for your first day in your photography class. You overslept again because you went to bed at around 2a.m., because you didn't notice the time while you were star gazing. You grabbed your towel and ran to the bathroom for a quick shower. You picked a lose shirt skinny jeans and sneakers, the usual and tied your hair to a ponytail, then grabbed your camera bag and your other bag dashed your way to the Photography Class. Of course the classes already started when you arrived at 9:30a.m. There was only one empty chair left beside a scary looking tall man -which left you with no choice but to sit beside him. You tiptoed your way to the chair next to the scary guy, and slowly sat on it. From your peripheral view, the man beside you didn't even move when you sat beside him. *Maybe he's asleep...* you thought; you can't see through his dark shades that he was wearing.

*Ppfff...He's already asleep, the classes just started...* You muttered to yourself.
You took your notebook and scribbled the notes on the board and the things that the instructor was saying. The class was pretty quiet and there were only 20 participants, including you. It felt a little boring and started to roam your eyes around the room but nothing interests you that much. You leaned your head on your left hand and started to doodle on your notebook. Hours passed and you felt your eyes getting heavy and you just want to shut it and sleep.

Few hours later, you felt someone tapping your shoulder. "Five minutes..." You muttered. "But miss, the classes has ended..." It was a voice a man. "Wake up..." The voice said. You scrunched up your nose which he found you a little cute. "Miss?" He tried again while tapping your shoulder gently.

Your eyebrows crossed and the unexpected happened... "I already said 5 minutes!" You exclaimed with your half open eyes and grabbed the hand that was tapping your shoulder and bit it...hard. "YAAAAAHHH!!!" The man who was waking you up exclaimed. You released him from your bite and saw the biggest shock of your life. "Why did you do that for?" He cried. Your mouth fell hanging open when you saw the same man who was beside you a while ago and the man that you just bit; he was no other than Korea's Super Junior Prince Choi Siwon! "U-uhm mianhe..." You said; now fully awake and shocked. "Do you always bite whoever wakes you up?" Siwon bawled while rubbing his hand. "Y-you're actually the first one..." You mumbled but he still heard you; you sighed. "I-I'm really sorry..." "So I am the unlucky one?" He said; a bit irritated. "Aish, this will definitely leave a mark..." and sighed heavily. Since you just woke up, you easily got a irritated with his muttering. "Aish, I already said I'm sorry..." You hissed at him, grabbed your things and stormed out of the room. "Yah!" Siwon yelled as he watch you walk out. "...and now she had the guts to be angry. Aissshhh..." He couldn't do anything but scratch the back of his head. Right after you walked out of the room, you suddenly felt sorry for the unfortunate incident. First, it's wrong that you bit him; second, it's wrong to get angry at him because you knew that he was just trying to help you; and third, you were wrong for walking out from him.

*Alright, I'll make it up to him tomorrow...* You thought.

You arrived in class just in time the next day, and found Siwon sitting at the same spot as yesterday's while fixing his camera lens and what not. After battling with your mind on what to offer him as a peace offering, you settled to give him a box of plasters for the bite mark. You sucked up all the courage you have and approached him. "Siwon-sshi, jeongmal mianhada..." You said with your head low. He looked at you with his wide eyes; a bit shocked. You gulped hard when you saw his hand with visible red marks. "Please accept this as a little peace offering..." handing him the box of plasters. "Uhm kamsahamnida..." He said while accepting your gift. "U-uhm, and just so you know, I don't really bite whoever wakes me up. I am not a psycho, I really am sane." You babbled as you take the seat beside him again. "I want you to know that I really am sorry for what I did and I know that I was wrong for biting you and so there I gave you plasters. Although I know you might have one but then that's all I can offer you for now..." You rambled without even breathing in between. His lips were pursed but it started to curl up into a little smile. "Okay, I should stop now, I often ramble when I'm nervous. Again, I'm sorry..." You continued. Now Siwon was already smiling his signature smile. "So you're nervous?" He asked with an arched eyebrow. "What?" You blushed a little. "Me? O-of course not..." You defended, hiding your face a little.

"...and you're blushing..." Siwon mocked. "Do you happen to be fan?" You looked at him a bit irritated. "You are so full of yourself mister..." "So are you?" You narrowed your eyes on him. "Just so you know, I am a fan of Kim Heechul..." "But we're on a same group, so it still counts..." Siwon said, folding his arms to his chest. "Is not..." "Is too..." You two bickered like kids and just stopped when the instructor went inside the room. "Okay guys settle down..." The instructor started and everyone started to go back to the seats. He started to talk about today's activity... "But before that, I want this activity to be a collaboration with a co-participant. So say hello to your seat mate because he/she will be your partner for the rest of this course." Your eyes grew wide. "What?!" You and Siwon both said in unison. You two are the only ones who weren't happy about this. "You guys must come up with a topic or a theme and relate it to the photo that you will submit as a final activity in this course. And by the end of this course, I will be choosing 3 pairs to join me in my own exhibit." The instructor continued. You looked at Siwon in disbelief, but he too was also looking at you. "What now?" You said in your defeat.Siwon sighed. "Maybe we should start again..." You thought for a moment and slightly nodded in agreement. *So it's true that he's a nice person...* You thought. "I'm Choi Siwon..." He said while offering his hand for a handshake. "I'm _____..." You said, accepting his handshake. "Pleased to meet you..." Siwon said in a very gentleman way and you couldn't help but blush. "Same here..." You said, still shaking his hand. *Okay, awkward...* You suddenly pulled your hands and gave an awkward smile. "So, shall we start?" He said, taking the lead. "Okay sure..." You agreed. "So aside from photography and my band, what are your other interests?" Siwon asked smugly. "Aisshhh..." You rolled your eyes off him. *I spoke too soon...aish, this smug...* You woke up early the next day; being a good friend to your best friend, you got up early because it's your turn to bring the laundry to the Laundromat. It was a bright and sunny day so you wore a white sun dress and a pair of white sneakers. You don't usually wear dresses but then its laundry day and you don't have pretty much have any choice. After going to the Laundromat, you went to your favorite coffee shop and had breakfast then went straight to your photography class with your iced coffee on hand. Since you and Siwon haven't come up with a theme for your final project, you decided to walk to your class to gather some inspiration.Just then while you were walking, you received a text from your

best friend. "_____-ah are you already awake? Don't forget about our laundry!" "Yes, of course I'm awake! Don't worry...done with the laundry! ^^" You texted back. "Good! See you later!" "See y~~~" and BAM! You were busily texting when you bumped into something or someone; spilling half of your drinks to your white dress. "What the...!" You squealed. "Oh no, I'm so sorry miss... ______?" Your eyes widen when you saw the person who you bumped into. "Choi Siwon do you hate me that much to spill my iced coffee on my white dress?" You were so annoyed that you had to emphasize the detailed words. "Ssshhh, don't say my name out loud..." He said with his pointer finger on his lips. "I-It's not like I mean it. It was an accident, I'm really sorry..." Siwon babbled. Apparently he was walking backwards with his camera; taking pictures of interesting things that's why you bumped into him. You sighed. "Aigoo, how am I supposed to go to class now?" Siwon looked at his watch. "It's still early, come with me..." Siwon said dragging your hand. "Yah! Where are you taking me?" You cried but he didn't say anything. Then you saw your hand being dragged by his, you couldn't help but blush again. Even though he isn't your bias, would you still be choosy in this situation? He's The Choi Siwon! Just then you realized that you guys were in public. Even though Siwon's wearing some disguise, his statuesque figure will always be noticeable. *I hope media won't catch this...* You thought. You know how the fans would react when they see their idol in this situation. You just followed his lead, still dragging you to god knows where. After a little while you arrived to your destination; a boutique. "Err, what are we doing here?" You asked. "I'm getting you a new dress, let's go we only have 45 mins. before our classes starts." Siwon, dragging you to go inside. "W-what? I could've just gone home and change..." You complained. "Then what? You'll come in late for class because you had to go back home to change your clothes and then I'll feel guilty about that. I'm just making it easier for both of us..." "Wait, is this you being nice and guilty or just being a plain smugly jerk?" You fought back with your eyebrows crossing. Siwon thought for a while. "Okay, ______ I'm really sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going that's why I bumped into you." He said sincerely.

*Whoa, he changed his mood all of a sudden. He's so unpredictable...* You thought. You bit your cheek and noticed that he meant what he said. "Apology accepted. I'm sorry, I wasn't looking either, I was texting my friend, that's why... Look Siwon-sshi, you don't really have to do this."

"But I wanted to, a peace offering for being a plain smugly jerk..." Siwon smiled and you chuckled. "C'mon let me be your stylist for today..." You rolled your eyes off him and agreed. You and Siwon looked around the shop, the sales ladies were talking about you both. You heard one of them envying you and saying how lucky you were. You bit your lip in embarasment and just busied yourself and looked around. Siwon then found a dress and asked you what you think about it. "It's really pretty..." Your eyes glittered as you admired the dress he was showing you. "But how much is it?" You said worried that it might be expensive. "Na-uh, you shouldn't look at prices when people give you presents..." Siwon said, hiding the price tag from you. "Here, go and change into that..." giving you the dress. You then went to the fitting room to change. When you got out, you were surprised to see Siwon waiting for you. "So what d'ya think?" You asked. "Really pretty..." Siwon said out of the blue looking at you with his dreamy eyes. "U-uhm I mean, it's nice..." Siwon stuttered; trying to compose himself. You looked at him weirdly. "I'm just gonna be at the counter, I'll wait for you there..." He said awkwardly.

*Did he just complimented me? Was it me who's pretty or just the dress?* You asked yourself. Either way, you just thought of him as a bipolar, moody, smug, handsome and statuesque guy. Okay the last two descriptions are already given within just one look. But then you decided to brush it off. You looked at yourself in the mirror and smiled at the nice dress that you were wearing.
You again bickered with Siwon while paying for the dress. You kept on insisting to pay for the half of it, but he won this time and left you with no choice but to thank him. You two then went to class together, still undecided for your final project's theme. You went home puzzled why was Siwon looking at you like that the moment you stepped out of the fitting room. His eyes were really dreamy, and he was smiling. You shook your head to put off the weird thoughts away. Just then you remembered your dress that got spilled with coffee, you took it and soaked it with warm water so that it won't stain. While washing your dress, your mind came fluttering to Siwon again; you hissed at yourself when you did that. "Hey your home..." Your best friend Jihyo greeted you. You mentally thank her for taking your mind off of Siwon. "Hey, what happened to your dress?" "Well I bumped into some jerk and spilled my coffee to my dress..." You explained. "Wait, is that dress new? That's really pretty..." Jihyo complimented your dress. "Oh this, the jerk bought me this for spilling the coffee on my dress as his peace offering..." "Him? So it's a guy? Oh my gosh, finally!" Your best friend exclaimed; the girl is always excited about your love life. "Who is he? Is he someone I know?" "No, it's not like that. Besides the guy is a jerk and yes you know him..." You said without looking at her. Jihyo then named names of your high school and college guy friends. "No, not them... It's..." You sighed. "It's Choi Siwon." You finally said. "You.Gotta.Be.Kidding.Me..." Jihyo said but you shook your head no. "Kyyyaaaaaa!!!" Jihyo screamed a fan girl scream.

You faced palm, forgetting that your hands were dripping wet. *This will be a long explaination...* You thought.

Friday came, your last session for the first week. So far, Siwon has been treating you a lot nicer, unlike the first few days. You came in a little late for today's class and noticed that Siwon wasn't also there yet. Even though you keep on telling yourself that you're not interested on him and you shake him off your mind, still your brain will go against you and bring back the thoughts of him. Yes, you admit you're a fan of Super Junior, but he's not your bias. But then again, it's not like you could meet an idol every day, right? You battled with your brain with the thoughts of Siwon as the time went by. The class was on its half way through the discussion when you noticed that Siwon wasn't still there. *So he ditched class today...* You thought. You thought that it's stupid to think about him when you knew that he wasn't thinking about you too. *He's a jerk _____!* You reminded yourself *A handsome jerk, to be exact...pffft...* So you went home and noticed that Jihyo left a note by your room's door. "Dont forget the Black & Silver fashion show and soiree tonight!" It read.

*Oh shoot!* Your friend Jihyo works as an events organizer and she invites you to these kind of occasions for you tomeet other photographers and potential clients and what not. You then, grabbed a simple black cocktail dress, a nice strapy heels and a clutch bag. While killing time, you decided to check on your blog named MyOwnConstellation. You were actually excited to see if your favorite follower left a message again; and you were right.
star407: How's your class? Looking forward to see your recent works...you know I'm such a fan. Btw, I just enrolled myself to a class too! Hwaiting! You smiled after reading the message and started to reply: MyOwnConstellation: My classes is good, it's because of the people I get to meet where I get my inspirations. I hope to see your works too. Thank you for your support, I'll be working hard! Hwaiting to us!^^ Just every time your favorite follower sends messages or comments to your blog, you couldn't help not to smile. And maybe, yes, you had to admit that you're having virtual crush on your favorite follower. After doing so, you started to prepare for the event. You took a generous bath, blow dried your hair and dress up. You always go for natural look, so you didn't put on make-up that much. You put your hair down and let your natural waves let loose. You looked at your watch and it ticked 7:45pm; just the right time to go. You then went to the parking lot and drove your mini car to the soiree with your camera and a V.I.P. Pass to the event.The fashion show started on time, every garment wowed you, the hair styles, the make-up. You took pictures of the details you liked. Just then you noticed a very familiar face walked out of the runway; the face you loved to hate for being plain smugly jerk. Yes, he really did look handsome and princely.

*So this is why he ditched class...* You thought. You then focused your camera on him and adored every feature on his face and snapped and caught his very handsome face. *Ugh, what am I doing?* Right after the fashion show, the soiree started. You tried to find Jihyo but you saw her really busy with her work as the event's organizer, good thing you found colleagues in photography and mingled with them. With just a red wine on hand, you and your colleagues talked about photography stuff and what not. You don't really want to drink because you still have to drive. Just then your friend stopped talking and looked at someone behind you with wide eyes.
"_____?" A familiar voice called your name that was right behind you. You turned around and there he was, Mr. Choi Siwon himself. You gave him a friendly smile. "Hey, I didn't know you'd be here..." He said with a friendly smile."I'm a photographer, remember? And you?" You asked sarcastically, tilting your head on your side.

"I'm a model too, remember?" He said, imitating you. You gave out a chuckle. "Not much of a drinker I see..." he said, looking at your still full wine glass. "Nah, I still have to drive so, I'm just being cautious..." You said and eyed his glass of hard liquor on the rocks. Siwon saw your friends that they were looking at him. Siwon cleared his throat. "Care for introductions?" He said, gesturing to your friends. "Oh right, where were my manners? Uhm they are my photography colleagues..." You said introducing their names to Siwon. "...you guys already know him right? We're currently classmates in a photography class..." You babbled as they exchanged hi's and hellows and handshakes. Siwon taking their handshakes with a smile. "I'm sorry for stealing _____ for a while. I hope you guys enjoyed the show." He said in a very friendly way. Just then the speakers blasted loud party music. "So I guess I'll see you on Monday?" Siwon said shouting a little. "W-what? I'm sorry?" The speakers were too loud for you to hear him. "I said, I'll see you on Monday..." Siwon leaned closer to your ear. Your face was just few inches away from him and felt his breath on your ears. You can smell a bit of alcohol and his perfume. You shook your head before he could intoxicate you. "Y-yes, of course..." You stuttered and blushed. "You looked really nice today, by the way..." He said, much closer to your ear now. He then smiled and excused himself and left you dumb founded. You shook your head to put your thoughts away. *He's just drunk...* You thought. Out of subconscious you drank your red wine bottoms up. It was getting late and you looked for Jihyo to tell her that you're heading home. "Ah arasso, you take care alright?" "Yeah, okay, but how 'bout you? How are you gonna go home?" You asked. "Don't worry about me, I'll ask a friend to drop me home..." "Arasso, so I'll go ahead, see you later!" You said as you waved her goodbye. You then headed to the exit but you sawthat it was too crowded. So you turned your heels to exit at the back door. When you got out of the building... "_____-ah, going home?" Someone called you with slurred speech; you turned to see a flushed face Siwon.

*Uh-oh, he's totally drunk...* You slightly nodded at him and looked at him a bit concerned.
"For a moment please..." He said raising his pointer and ran behind a lamp post. The next thing is you heard him barfing. "Ugh!" You muttered in disgust. But you felt sorry for him and approached him. "Siwon-ah, are you okay?" "Don't go near me, it's disgusting..." He said. Siwon wiped his lips with his hanky and faced you. "Do you need water?" You asked. Siwon shook his head no. "Can you drive me home?" He asked. "Here are my keys..." handing you his keys. "Please?"

You were hesitant at first but then when he said 'please' you took his keys and nodded. "But I don't know where you live..." "I'll be your GPS..." He said with a slurred speech. Okay, he's drunk but you find him kind of adorable. Before you guys went to his car, you asked one of the bouncers to look after him. You looked for Jihyo and told her what happened and asked her to drive your car back home. Then you got back to Siwon who was now hugging the bouncer. *Oh my gosh! What have I gotten myself into?!* You whined. You asked the bouncer to carry Siwon to his car and gave the bouncer a tip for being such a big hassle. In the car, you were so amazed to drive an Audi, to drive Choi Siwon's white Audi TT to be exact. Siwon was sitting at the front passenger. You sat at the driver's seat and grabbed his seat belt and buckled him up. "Your smell..." Siwon said. "...it's really nice and sweet." He continued. You looked at him and rolled your eyes off of him and started to drive. At first Siwon was giving you sensible directions but after a while... "Siwon-ah, we're going on circles here... Will you just tell me your address so I can drive you home?" "It's a secret..." Siwon said in his slurred speech with a teasing tone. "Just follow my directions and we'll get there..." "But we've been here 3 times already..." You said, getting a little impatient but Siwon just smiled at you. You then parked the car at the side and pressed hazard. "You know what, give me your phone..." "Wae? Why did you stop?" He said like a kid; clutching his coat where his phone is."I'm gonna make a call, I'll call your manager..." You said a bit irritated. Siwon then handed you his phone. "Password please?" You asked.Siwon smiled at you. "Secret..." he said again with a teasing tone and grin. "Arrgghhh!!! I should've done this earlier..." You face palmed yourself in frustration. "You know, you're better of smiling, that's when you're prettiest..." You heard him. This is the third time that he complimented you tonight, you just don't know if it's true because he was so drunk. Your hands were still on your face, but a little later you heard a little snoring. You looked at him and saw him sleeping. Siwon woke up in an unfamiliar place the next day. The room is really white; there where glow in the dark stars glued on the ceiling. There's also a telescope by the window. *Where am I?* The dresser is full of female products. *It's a girl's room!* He then checked out his clothes, he was only wearing his own undershirt and an unfamiliar pj's. He stood up, his head started to ache like there were bullets shooting him, and then pressed his temples and tried to relax. A little later he tried to stand up again and headed to the door. When he got out of the room, he was greeted by a very familiar voice. "Good morning drunkard!" You mocked him as soon as you saw him go out of your room. Siwon found you at the sofa with your laptop and camera. You were still on your comfy pj's. He looked at you questioningly. "What- How- How did I get here?" He stuttered. You rolled your eyes off of him and gave him a flashback of what had happened last night. "Then w-who...?" He asked stuttering while pointing at his clothes. You chuckled. "Don't worry, I didn't rape you, but our gay building maintenance might have..." You mocked; Siwon's eyes grew wide in shock while covering his upper body with his arms. You laughed at his reaction; you enjoyed mocking him as a revenge for being such a huge headache last night.

"Naaah, I'm just kidding!" You said still laughing; Siwon frowned. "That's my brother's pj's. Yes, I told our building maintenance to change you to that, and no, he's not gay. You kind of barfed at you pants and I don't want my sheets to get messed up so I asked him to carry you up here and change your clothes." You explained. "B-but where did you sleep?" He asked. You were surprised that he was stuttering. "Here..." You said, pointing at the sofa you were sitting on. Siwon approached you and sat at the other end of the sofa. "Look, uhm..." He paused, gathering his thoughts. "I'm really sorry for being such a huge hassle." He said sincerely. "And just so you know, I'm not really a drunkard. It just so happened that my father's friend was there and gave me drinks. I-I just couldn't say no b'cause I might disrespect him, that's why I ended up here... I'm really sorry..." *Wow, for a moment there, he really looked like an angel...* You thought and sighed. "No worries... How's your head?" You asked him, knowing that he'll be having a painful hangover. Siwon didn't say anything but you know that he's having a headache. You then stood up. "Follow me..." You went to the kitchen and got him a glass of water. You placed it on the counter top, in front of Siwon and handed him a tablet for his headache. "How'd...?" Siwon asked but you cut him off. "I know you'll be having a hangover..." "Thank you..." He said with a smile and took the medicine. "_____, can I ask a favor?" He said softly, you looked at him and nodded. "Can I stay here for a while? After my headache subsides, I promise I'll go..." "Sure, no worries..." You said with a friendly smile. You looked at the time and it's ticking 10:30am "...so, brunch anyone?" You cooked kimchi fried rice and steamed dumplings and Siwon helped you, you were surprised that he knew things to do in the kitchen. While you guys were eating... "So you live here alone?" Siwon asked. "Nope, I live with my best friend Jihyo here. She's not around because she had to go to work." You explained. Suddenly, you let out a little yawn and covered your mouth in the process. "Excuse me..." You said. "I just noticed, you're always sleepy at the wrong time of the day... Why?" Siwon asked. "I'm gonna tell you but I'm gonna have to kill you..." You said with a slight smirk. "I'm gonna find that out..." Siwon looked around and he spotted something sticked on your fridge. It was an invitation for an exhibit opening that'll be happening later tonight at 7pm. "You're invited in this exhibit too?" He said pointing at the invitation."Yeah, the exhibitor is my sunbae-nim in college. Were you invited too?" You asked, but before he could answer... "oh well, why do I have to ask..." S iwon chuckled. "Yes, he's one of the photographers I worked with in a magazine photo shoot. Are you going?" "Yep!" You said with a nod.

"Great, I'll pick you up here at 6pm..." Siwon said, he wasn't really asking. It was more like you just have to agree with him. "H-huh? Why?" You asked, stuttering. "Well..." Siwon scratched the back of his neck as he searched for words. "You know, I just want to pay back for the hospitality you showed me..." He said with his famous hand gestures. "It's okay, you don't have to..." You said without even looking at him. The moment you looked up to him, you saw him looking directly at you. "But I wanted to..." Siwon said. You were still hesitant to agree with Siwon's idea. What if the media would catch this? You know how fans would react if their oppa is seen with a girl. *Okay Chill-ax...* You told yourself. It's not like you guys are in a date right? You tried to think that you guys are accompanying each other to the exhibit as colleagues, friends, and acquaintance. You then chose a simple outfit for the event. You were still fixing your hair when you heard your doorbell rang. You looked at your watch and it ticked 5:45pm. *He's early...* You thought. So you got up and got the door."Hi!" Siwon greeted as you opened the door with his signature dimpled smile. You were stunned with his appearance, he looked so neat and he smelled really good. "Hi, uhm come in..." You greeted back. "You really looked pretty..." He complemented. "T-thanks..." You stuttered, you werent used to people complementing you, especially a person like him. "You really looked good too... Uhm, you're surprisingly early..." "Well you really didn't give me a straight answer a while ago. That's why I went here a bit earlier... So?" "Uhm, In one condition though..." You said and bit your lip. "Okay..." Siwon waited for you to answer with an eyebrow raised. "Please don't drink too much tonight..." Siwon chuckled. "I won't, I promise..." then smiled his signature smile. Soyou guys get into the car and drove to the exhibit. You were kind of shy to go out with Siwon, you tried your best not to be awkward and treated him like a normal person. But you have to admit that you can't help not to fan girl inside you, he's still Super Junior's Choi Siwon. You guys arrived at the event, Siwon was really a gentleman. It was like you guys were on a date. He assisted you with his hand at the small of your back, got drinks for you guys and everything. Sometimes you think he's just too good to be true. You guys actually enjoyed each others' company. You excused yourself to go the women's room for a while and when you got out... "_____!" Someone called you. "Daehyun? Daehyun-oppa!" You exclaimed. He was a good friend of yours in college and you didn't really expect to meet him. "How are you? You really looked nice..." "Thanks, I'm good! How are you?" You asked.

"Likewise. I already saw you a while ago but I was shy to approach you 'cause I thought you were with Choi Siwon of Super Junior." He said. "W-well, he is Choi Siwon of Super Junior..." You said with a blush. "Mwo?! Are you guys dating?" Daehyun asked in almost a whisper and leaned a little closer to you. "Aniyo, oppa, it's not like that..." You defended. "We're just good friends, we're colleagues in this photography class that's all..." "Why are you being so defensive? Do you like him?" He asked. "..." You can't think of any good answer for his question. "Aigoo, my baby sis grew up so fast..." He said, mocking you while pinching your cheeks. "Oppa, wae kurae?" You protested and swatted his hand off your cheek. "Stop it, people might hear you and spark up some rumor..." Im just saying... Daehyun said defensively with his hands up. But isnt he really dreamy? He said with dreamy eyes and you just rolled your eyes off him. Little did you know, someone was watching you Siwon, was watching you. He frowned a little when he saw you talking with someone, a guy to be exact. He frowned more when he saw the guy leaned closer to you and whispered something.*What is this? Ive only known the girl for a week but since the first time Ive seen her, Ive never stopped thinking about her I have to admit that I am jealous and I just cant lose like this* he thought and sighed. *Here goes nothing* Siwon then approached you. Hi, got you another drink Siwon said as he approached you and gave you a glass of iced tea. Thanks u-uhm Siwon-sshi, this is Daehyun-oppa, hes a good friend from college, and oppa, this is Choi Siwon You introduced them to each other. Nice to meet you Daehyun said and extended his arm for a handshake. Same here Siwon said and took his handshake firmly. So Im gonna go ahead, you guys enjoy the night Daehyun said and gave you a mischeivous smile behind Siwon's back. Thanks, you too enjoy You said. You and Siwon looked around the exhibit and wowed at the works. You guys gathered up ideas for your theme for your final project but still couldnt come up with a right one. So this Daehyung-sshi, was he really just a friend? Siwon asked out of the blue with kind of a nosy tone. You nearly choked as you take a sip on your drink. Yes, hes just a friend You found Siwon kind of weird with he just said. From my point of view it looked like he was flirting with you a while ago Siwon said. *Is he jealous?* You thought but you just brushed it off and thought that you were being delusional. Where is this coming from? You looked at him weirdly. First of all, Daehyun-oppa is just a good friend; he wont flirt with me because hed rather check you out than me You explained. Oh Are you saying, hes, h-hes gay? Siwon stuttered.

Well hes major in college is fashion design and if youre still not satisfied with my answer, he said that you looked really dreamy You said with an arched eyebrow. But you call him oppa Isnt that what a dongsaeng should call an older guy? You asked sarcastically; Siwon couldnt say anything more. Siwon gave out an awkward chuckle and you too chuckled. I-Im really sorry about that He said blushing. Its okay You said with a smile. Tonight is a weird but fun night. You had to admit that you enjoyed your time hanging out with Siwon in the past few days. You were actually surprised that Siwon kept his promise; the only liquor you guys drank was the champagne that was served during the ribbon cutting. So are you ready to go? Siwon asked a little later. Yeah, sure You guys were about to leave and was heading to his car when you tripped onto something and heard something snapped. Are you okay? Siwon asked gently holding your arm. Yes Im okay but my shoe isnt You said. Siwon looked down on your feet and saw that one of your heels got broken. You let out a heavy sigh. I have an idea Siwon said. He squatted in front of you and took off your shoes. How brilliant You said sarcastically. Not yet done Siwon said with his pointer raised. The next thing you know was Siwon kicking off his shoes too. He then grabbed both of your shoes and your hand with his free hand and walked to his car barefoot which left you nothing but speechless. Siwon-ah this isnt working You said as you tug his hand. Siwon smiled. I have another idea When you reached his car, he opened the back compartment and took out a pair of sneakers. He squatted down again and put on the sneakers his sneakers- on your feet. *This guy really has full of weird ideas* You thought. You do realize that Im wearing a dress right? And these sneakers are really big... Siwon chuckled and got up, but as he got up you heard something got ripped. Uh-oh Siwon said with wide eyes. I think my pants got ripped Siwon said with a red flushed face. You couldnt help not to laugh. Yah, why dont you just help me instead of laughing at me? He said leaning on the car to cover his lower back. Mianhe You said in between laughs. You then started to calm down while fanning yourself with your hand. Take off your coat You said and Siwon did what he was told. You took his coat and wrapped it around his waist. There you go You said and finished it with a smile. Siwon drove you to your apartment complex and accompanied you to your door. What a night right? Siwon said.

Totally Would you like to go inside? You asked. Nah, I better go ahead, Im really uncomfortable with my pants right now Siwon said and you chuckled. But I was wondering if youre free tomorrow, we could have lunch and talk about our theme. Yeah, sure You were surprised with yourself that you agreed with him without hesitation. "Okay, I'll see you tomorrow then... Good night..." Siwon said with his smile. "Good night..." *Daehyun-oppa's right, he really is dreamy...* It was a really beautiful sunny Sunday morning. Surpirsingly, you woke up early and immediately hit the shower. It's actually your late grandfather's birthday and you're going to visit his remains after going to church and before meeting Siwon. You then chose a simple Sunday dress and went off to church with your best friend Jihyo. After which, you bought flowers and went to the cemetery to visit your grandfather alone. It was really sunny and you hated yourself that time for forgetting to bring an umbrella with you.Upon arriving, you sat on the soft grass and cleared the dried leaves on your grandfather's tomb stone, and then placed the flowers on it. It's been years, but your grandfather and your grandmother will always be missed. *Hello halabeoji! Happy Birthday! I know you're having a party right now in heaven with halmeoni. Don't eat too much sweets okay? You don't want halmeoni to nag at you right? You know, I've been doing well in my photography class. Aren't you proud of me? I got it from you halabeoji. I miss you and halmeoni so much. Watch over me always okay?* You then offered a silent prayer for them. "_____?" You nearly jumped in shock when someone called you. You looked out and saw a tall man standing with an umbrella. "Siwon?!" You exclaimed and narrowing your eyes to see him clearly. "You shook the living daylights out of me!" You said clutching your chest. "I thought my grandfather just answered me!" You sighed heavily. Siwon chuckled. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..." "What are you doing here anyway? Are you stalking me?" You asked with wide eyes. "Are you stalking me?" Siwon asked back. "Of course not. I'm visiting my grandfather here, and you?" "Same with you, I just visited my grandmother then I saw you here..." Siwon said and sat beside you, covering you under his umbrella. "You looked a little sad a while ago. You really miss your halabeoji don't you?" "Yeah..." You nodded and gave a faint smile. "He used to spoil me a lot when I was a kid. He's the one who taught me about photography..." You smiled as you remember your grandfather. "He must be so proud to have a grand daughter like you..." Siwon said, you looked at him and smirked. "Care for introductions?" Siwon asked with a smile. "Of course..." You turned to your grandparents' tomb stone. "Halabeoji, halmeoni, this is Choi Siwon. He's a star you know? Isn't he much good looking in person?" You started to babble unconsciously. You blushed right away after realizing what you just said. "Annyeonghaseo halabeoji and halmeoni! I am Choi Siwon, isn't your grand daughter pretty when she

smiles and blushes?" Siwon said genuinely. You looked at him and blushed some more when you saw him already looking at you with a smile. "Yah! Don't get it to your head..." "Wae? What did I do?" Siwon said, playing innocent and you just rolled your eyes off of him. "I'm just being honest though..." You looked at him weirdly. "I just complemented you, a little thank you will do..." He said and poked your cheek. "Thanks, I guess..." You said. It was kinda hot Sunday morning and you started to fan yourself with your hand. Siwon took off his cap and started to fan you with it. "Thanks..." This time it was genuine. "I was thinking, since we're here and we're visiting our loved ones, I just think that our topic should be about memories... It could be good, it could be bad, you know memories..." Siwon said with his famous hand gestures. "You're absolutely right!" You beamed at what Siwon just said. "I'll dedicate our final project to my halabeoji, as a birthday present for him! It's brilliant...!" "Thank you!" Siwon said with a salute. "Well, how about you? What would you be doing?" You asked tilting your head on the side. Siwon smiled. "Secret..." He said and pinched your cheek. "You know the last time you said secret was when you're drunk and ended up snoring in my room..." You said in as-a-matter-of-factly way. "...and this is a collaboration, I should know what you'll be doing..." You continued. Siwon chuckled. "You'll find out soon..." He smiled and winked at you. You started to blush again but you looked away to hide it. "Aigoo, it's so hot today..." You both looked at each other. "Ice cream?" You both said in unison. Since Siwon can't hangout with a girl in an ice cream parlor, you guys ended up buying ice cream in a convenience store and headed to your house. You guys went straight to the kitchen; you opened the ice cream tub while Siwon looked for spoons. You smiled at the thought of Siwon knows the things around your kitchen. "Boodle fight?" Siwon said with an arched eyebrow while handing you a spoon. "Sure." You smiled. You both went to the living room and slouched at the sofa. Siwon started to dig in. "You know your apartment is really nice, it had this homey feeling..." Siwon said as he looked around. "I know right? ...but you haven't seen the whole of it..." You smiled, scooped an ice cream and turned on your laptop. "I was just wondering, don't you have any schedules? I mean, you're an idol, you're supposed to be busy..." "Yep, but my drama just finished and I was given a whole month of break before my schedules could go full again..." Siwon explained. "So if you're on a break, shouldn't you be resting, go on a vacation or something?" "I just wanted to be productive, that's why I enrolled my self in our class... Any more questions?" You shook your head no. "But you should've rested. You know, to regain strength for the next

schedules..." Siwon smiled. "So you're concerned about me?" You rolled your eyes off him and focused on your laptop. "What are you doing in there?" He asked, peeking a little at your laptop. "I am looking at my blog..." You honestly said and proudly showing Siwon the screen. Siwon choked. "You're MyOwnConstellation?!" He exclaimed. You're eyes grew wide in surprise with his sudden reaction. "You know my blog?!" You asked with your wide eyes. "I-I am a huge fan...I-I'm..." Siwon stuttered. "Don't tell me you're star407?!" You exclaimed too; cutting him off. "Tell me you're not him..." "I am star407..." Siwon admitted. "Oh my gosh, but he's a gentleman..." You muttered. "Well I am!" Siwon defended. "Is not..." "Is too..." The two bickered like kids. You rolled your eyes off of Siwon's childishness but somehow you had this unexplainable happiness inside you. "______-ah, how would you like to meet Heechul-hyung?" Siwon asked. You looked at him a bit confused. "You once mentioned that he was your bias, right? Well tomorrow I'll be a guest on his radio show and I was thinking that you should go with me..." Your mouth fell hang open. "S-sure..." You stuttered. Siwon misunderstood your stuttering, he thought that you where excited to meet Heechul and that made him jealous. Little did he knew, you where kind of liking him too, putting him on the top of your bias list. Days have passed and you have to admit that you and Siwon grew closer with each other. To you, he's becoming the person who you knew he's supposed to be; Siwon the gentleman, the childlike and the ideal bachelor that every girl has been dreaming of. You woke up surprisingly early the next day, even you were surprised on how early you woke up that you even beat your alarm clock. You went out of your room with your bed head and found your best friend Jihyo reading some news papers. Jihyo almost jumped in shock when she saw you. "Yah! You scared me!" She exclaimed. "Why are you up so early?" "I was also surprised, believe me...I'm gonna go and freshen up" You said with your sleepy voice and headed to the bathroom then the doorbell rang all of a sudden. "Who would that be?" "I'll go get the door..." Jihyo volunteered. She then went to the door and opened it. "Annyeonghaseyo. Is _____ there?" Jihyo's eyes grew like saucers when the man in statuesque figure greeted her. "Y-yeah..." Jihyo stuttered.

"I'm sorry, I'm Choi Siwon. You must be Jihyo, ______ bestfriend?" He said and reached for hand shake. "Y-yeah..." Jihyo stuttered as she took the handshake. "Can I come in?" Siwon asked. "O-of course..." Jihyo stuttered. "______-ah you have a visitor!"Jihyo yelled "Who would visit me at this hour?" You said as you wobble your way out of the bathroom. "I do..." Siwon smirked. "What are you doing here?" You said in shock. "I brought breakfast..." He said as he raised a big paper bag. You looked at him weirdly. You were confused on why would he be here early in the morning and with breakfast on hand. "You don't want breakfast?" Siwon asked with a raised eyebrow. "No! We, I mean, she ______-ah likes breakfast! Right ______?" Jihyo said; pushing Siwon to the dining area. She's always been enthusiastic about your love life and she's now match making you to Siwon. You gave Jihyo a what-on-earth-look and she just glared at you. "So...?" Siwon said in a puzzled tone. "Sure... but you shouldn't have." You said with a blush; you mentally smacked your head when you blushed. Siwon smirked and started to rummage the paper bag. "This for Jihyo-sshi..." Siwon said as he handed her a coffee cup. "For me? Thank you!" Jihyo squealed and can't help not to fangirl. "And for you..." Siwon said as he handed you an iced coffee. "Thanks..." You said with a smile. "And here, some sandwiches and bagels..." Siwon continued as he rummage his paper bag. You watched him as you took a generous sip on your iced coffee. "So _____-ah, is this why you woke up early?" Jihyo said out of the blue. You accidentally choked with her words. "Are you okay?" Siwon asked. "Here..." He said while handling you a tissue. Siwon patted your back as you coughed. You couldn't help but glare at Jihyo as she gave you a sly smile. "I didn't even know he was coming!" You defended as you calm down. "Why are you here this early, anyways?" You asked Siwon. "Just breakfast..." Siwon smirked. "Is visiting not allowed here Jihyo-sshi?" "Of course not, you can visit _____-ah anytime you want." Jihyo replied excitedly; earning another glare from you. Suddenly, you noticed something on the news paper that Jihyo was reading a while

ago. It read "Super Junior Choi Siwon dating co-actress..." It also has a picture of Siwon with the said actress. "Oh look who's on the paper today..." You said, pointing at the article. Siwon read the headline and just sighed. "That's not true... That picture was taken during our drama's thanksgiving party. That was actually a group picture but they cropped it to make a good story." Siwon explained. "It looked like you're used to it..." You said. "Pretty much... Besides, I'm already eying someone and it's not her..." Siwon straightforwardly said while looking right through you. "Hey, eat up!" He said and smirked again. Jihyo was watching the both of you and sensed something in between. It's just you who was dense and doesn't sense anything. You just keep on brushing off your feelings, at the same time you're confused. You and Siwon went to your classes together. It really wasn't a long ride to the building, you can even walk from your house. Your today's class was so interesting that you didn't noticed the time went by so fast. Siwon, you and your other colleagues went out for lunch after classes. You noticed that he's really good with interacting with people. This is the side of him that you haven't seen. He was down to earth, a well trained gentleman but could act like a five year old kid sometimes. This day has been running by so fast for you both. It was already time for Siwon's guesting at Young Street. You guys went to SBS together. You both were met by the Super Junior's famous prince manager by the building's entrance and lead you to the waiting room. As you guys entered the room you heard a loud squeal greeted you. "Ma-Si~~~!!!" That's a hyper Heechul, screaming his lungs out. "Hyung, how are you?" Siwon greeted him and gave each other a brotherly hug. "I'm so good! How 'bout you?!" Heechul replied in English. "I'm good too... Hyung, I have company..." Siwon said and looked for you. "Hyung, this is ______, a classmate from photography class. ______-ah, this is Heenim-hyung..." Siwon introduced you with an arm over your shoulders. "Annyeonghaseyo, Kim Heechul imnida..." Heechul said as he stretched his arm for a handshake. "Annyeonghaseyo, ______ imnida..." You said as you took his handshake with a bow. "Oh, so you're the famous ______. I've heard a lot of things about you..." Heechul said; Siwon lightly elbowed his hyung on his side. "Really? Like what?" You asked oblivious of what's happening. You tilted your head on the side as you were waiting for an answer from Heechul. "U-uhm, like how good you were in photography. Siwon talks about it a lot..." Heechul the blabber mouth said, earning another elbowing from Siwon. "Maybe we should start to talk about the show..." Siwon said to change the topic. After a little while the show started. You watched behind the booth where the PD's stay. They played songs, talked about crazy things. Heechul was so hyper that he even danced when Brown Eyed Girls' Abracadabra was played. Heechul and Siwon even greeted you during the show. In the middle of the show... "There are a lot of rumors coming out lately that you are going out with your co-actress in your

previous drama. Is it true?" Heechul asked straightforwardly in live national radio - live international streaming. Siwon just gave him an embarrassed smile. "Hey, I'm your hyung, I should know. You should tell me..." "Well this is embarrassing... No, it's not true hyung. She's a good friend of mine and on set we're all professionals." Siwon said with his famous hand gestures. "Is there someone you like right now?" Heechul again asked, but now with a mischievous smile. S iwon pretended to fan himself with his hands. "I like all E.L.F..." Siwon said with his signature dimpled smile. "I know the viewers are screaming now... Oppaaa!!! Oppaaa!!!" Heechul, imitating a fan while waving his hands in the air and earned a laugh in the entire studio. "What about your ideal type of girl Siwonsshi? Not the physical aspect, let's talk about characteristics..." Heechul asked. He just won't let Siwon get out from it. "Uh that, someone with a good heart, who's patient with me, someone who could take care of me, someone who would treat me for who I am and not a star or an idol..." Siwon looked at you with the last description but you weren't looking at him. You were talking with the PD and their manager when Siwon was saying these things; saying these things for you to be exact. Too bad... Tonight's show was great all in all. After the show you had dinner with Siwon, Heechul and Prince Manager in restaurant. You thought that if ever anyone would ask who you were and why were you with them, you'll pretend that you're one of their stylists. But how could you pretend like one when Siwon keeps on assisting you like a gentleman. Like he would be constantly guiding you touching the small of your back, or hold you by your elbow and what not. You have to admit, you really had fun today when you realized that you just spent the whole day with Siwon. After dinner, he drove you back home. "Thanks for coming with me tonight _____-ah. I really enjoyed it..." Siwon said as he walked you to your apartment building's entrance. "Really?" You asked with a dreamy smile but you snapped out of it. "I mean, I did too and thanks..." You gave a faint laugh. "Are you already tired? I mean, I was wondering if you still want to chat or something..." Siwon said with an expecting expression. "What do you have in mind?" "Walk or chat some more maybe..." Siwon suggested. You looked at him and thought for a moment. "You wanna know why I am always sleepy at the wrong time of the day?" You asked Siwon. "Are you going to kill me after telling me?" Siwon asked back with an arched eyebrow. "We'll see... Come with me, I'll show you why..." You said with a smile and grabbed his arm. Siwon was actually surprised with you grabbing his arm all of a sudden. He was actually happy to be exact. You guys went up to your apartment and found that Jihyo was already asleep. "Wait there, I'm just going to get something in my room..." You told Siwon and he did what he was told. He sat on the sofa at the living room and waited for you in there. A little later, you came out of your room with a suitcase on hand, a camera hanging on your neck and two blankets on your free hand. "Are you running away? What's up with the suitcase?" Siwon asked with a confused expression.

"C'mon, follow me..." You said giddily and didn't answered Siwon's question. Siwon on the other hand, being a gentleman, got the suit case from you and carried it for you. "Please be careful with that, it's fragile..." You opened a small door in your living room that looks more like a closet. Siwon had to duck his head upon entering the door. From the small door, revealed a small stair case or somewhat looked like a ladder that will lead you to the roofdeck. "We're here! Isn't it beautiful?" You said as you breath in and adored the night sky and the over looking city lights. "Really beautiful..." Siwon mumbled as he stared at you without you knowing. When you looked at him Siwon just looked away. "This isn't Narnia right?" You laughed like a kid with his remark. "This is my Narnia... Oh, let's open that..." You said. "What's in this suitcase anyway?" Siwon asked with an arched eyebrow, again. You started to open the suitcase carefully and it revealed your beloved telescope. "Tadaaa! To apreciate this Narnia better..." You smiled. Siwon found it really cute and can't help it not to pinch your cheeks. You pretended to bite him again and he chuckled in your reaction. Then you both started to set up the telescope. "So this is why you stay up late?" "Guilty..." You started to look for something through the telescope. "Aha! Found it, come here, take a look!" You said excitedly. When Siwon peeked in, he couldn't help not to be amazed with what he saw. "A shooting star!" Siwon exclaimed excitedly. He pretty much looked like a 5 year old kid right now. "Oppa follow it!" You exclaimed. But instead of doing so, Siwon stopped and looked at you; his lips are starting to curl up into a smile. "That's a first..." "What first?" "The first time you called me oppa..." Siwon smirked. "W-well you're older the me. I'm from 87 and technically you're from 86, right? So we actually have a 1 year age difference..." You stammered and rambled. "You're rambling again... Are you nervous?" Siwon asked with a sly smile and arched eyebrow. He still remembers the time when you said that you often ramble when you're nervous. "A-ani..." You denied, but he just raised an eyebrow. "You wish..." You said and stuck your tongue out. Minutes and hours had passed and all you guys did was to star gaze and take pictures. It was already 2am and you were already tired, but you don't want to show it to Siwon. He was so enthusiastic and engrosed with star gazing. You then spread a blanket on the ground and sat on it and rested your back on a wall and just watched Siwon be a kid. His idol aura had shed of at this moment; to you he's like an ordinary person. Well not really ordinary, there's just this some unexplainable thing with him, something special to be exact. Suddenly he saw you watching him; you couldn't help but blush. You thanked the night sky for being dark and not being able to see your flushed face. Siwon smiled at you and sat beside you.

"Now I know why you stay up late..." Siwon said without taking his smile off. "Are you still going to kill me?" "It depends..." You replied and you both chuckled. Siwon started to browse the pictures you both took with your camera and comment on the pictures. At first he could hear you react with a chuckle and what not, but a little later, he felt a weight on his shoulder. He then found your head leaning on his shoulder. He wants to wake you up or to carry you to your room, but he didn't. Instead, he admired your peaceful sleeping face and caressed your face. He then carefully took the other blanket, placed it over you both and started to doze off.

A ray of sunlight hit your eyes causing you to wake up but still doesn't want to open your eyes. Your neck started to ache and you couldn't move it. There's something heavy leaning on you. You opened an eye and noticed that you weren't in your room causing you to shake up your senses and flinch. Now fully awake, you saw a person beside you who also just woke up from your flinch. "Good morning!" He greeted you. "Siwon-ah, you're still here?" You asked. Siwon just smiled and nodded. *Whatever happened to the word oppa?* He thought. You started to rub your aching neck while Siwon started to stretch his back. You couldn't help it not to look at his broad shoulders. *Snap out of it _____-ah!* You told yourself as you shook your head. "Oh shoot what time is it?" You said in a panicky tone and looked at your watch. "Relax, it's only 7am..." Siwon said. You sighed in relief. "I'm sorry about your back, and me sleeping on your shoulder..." You shyly said. "No worries." Siwon smiled *I'm actually glad...* Siwon taught. "Breakfast?" You asked. "Sure!" Siwon giddily said. You guys went down stairs and was surprised to be greeted by Jihyo who was about to get ready for work. She was actually surprised that Siwon was already there or still there. Siwon excused himself to the comfort room. While Siwon was out, Jihyo kept on eyeing you mischievously and you just glared at her in return. You just prepared some toasts, cheese, coffee for your breakfast. After breakfast, your prepared yourself for your today's classes. While you're in the bathroom... "Siwon-sshi, can I ask you something?" Jihyo asked. "Sure, go ahead..." Siwon said while reading the newspaper. "Do you happen to like my best friend?" Jihyo asked Siwon straightforwardly. He was actually taken aback with her question. Siwon thought for a moment before answering Jihyo's question. "Have you ever heard of the word soul mates?" Siwon asked, Jihyo's eyes grew like saucers. "To tell

you the truth, I've been thinking quite a lot about it lately. We've only known each other for more than just a week and yet I'm feeling something towards her. It's like I've already known her long before. You might say that it's cheesy and may think that it's weird but I feel happy and free whenever she's around." "Why don't you tell that to her?" Jihyo asked. "I don't know how would she react. Besides, I don't think she feels the same way..." Siwon looked down on his cup. "Let me tell you something... ______-ah is often dense when guys are approaching her. But when she finally knew what are your real intentions, she becomes sensitive." Siwon gave a thankful smile to Jihyo. "Thanks Jihyo-sshi..." "Did you know that aside from me, you're the only person whom she let you go up her prescious roofdeck?" Jihyo asked Siwon and he shook his head no in response. "That means she trusts you now... You better not break her heart now." It was a drizzly morning on April 6th and you just don't want to wake up just yet but then your alarm clock keeps on beeping annoyingly. Still half awake, you wobbled your way to the bathroom to take a bath and do your morning routine. After which, you prepared yourself for your classes. Since you're not in the mood to cook, you went to your favorite coffee shop for breakfast and got yourself your favorite iced coffee and a sandwich. You sat on your favorite corner and took out your planner and started to doodle something. It was then when a three high school girls sat on the next table beside yours. You can't help but to eavesdrop when you heard a familiar name that they were talking about. "Are you still sure about this fan project?" You heard one of the girls say. "Of course, this is the least we can do for Siwon-oppa's birthday..." The other girl said, who looks like a leader to them. "Unnie's right, this is the only way we can show our support for him on his birthday..." The third girl said. *It's Siwon's birthday... But when?* You bit the inside of your cheek and tried to listen more. They said that they were planning to buy him a cake, a birthday card and some letters. They said that they planned to take it to SME building. You thought that they're really cute for doing that for Siwon. You cannot take it anymore and you just wanted to know when is his birthday. "U-uhm excuse me..." You stuttered as you hesitantly approached them. The three looked at you. "I'm sorry to eavesdrop, but I heard you were talking about Siwon's birthday. Are you talking about Super Junior's Choi Siwon..." "Ah, yeah unnie..." The 'leader' said with hint of blush. You smiled at them. "C-can I ask when is his birthday?" "Well his birth registry is February 10th but his real birthday is tomorrow April 7th..." The 'leader' said. Your eyes grew wide in shock.*Tomorrow?!* You thought and bit your lip. "Unnie, are you a fan?" the other girl asked. "U-uhm, yeah, but Heechul oppa is my bias..." You said with a smile, but then you knew inside you that he isn't your bias anymore. "Since you're a fan too, why don't you sign in this card... We'll be giving this at SME building

tomorrow..." The 'leader' said as she handed you a pen and a really huge birthday card. "Ah, chincha?" You asked, and they all nodded in unison with friendly smiles. You then took the pen and the card and scribbled something then you gave back the pen and card to them. "Gomawo..." "Gomawo-yo unnie..." They all said in unison then you went back to your seat. You sighed on your half eaten sandwich and iced coffee. You too wanted to give him something for his birthday, but you also thought that he's got everything he needed in this world. He's the Siwon Choi for crying out loud! You looked at your watch and saw that it was still early. You then finished your sandwich, took your coffee and walked your way to your class. You walked by a small shop and their signage says "Gift Shop For All Seasons" You thought that it's cute and might see something you could get for Siwon. Siwon looked at his watch for the nth time now and it ticked 8:50am. *Where is she?* He thought. It's only ten minutes left before your classes starts. *She couldn't be sick, she was perfectly fine when I drove her back home yesterday... Aish, I should've fetched her at her house...* Siwon muttered to himself. Just five minutes before the classes starts, the door opened and you came in the room catching your breath. "Aigoo, I thought I was already late..." You said as you sat at the usual chair beside Siwon. You were panting and fanned yourself with your hands. You just ran your way to your class because you didn't want to be late. You got engrossed from shopping for Siwon's birthday present. "Almost... Are you okay?" Siwon asked worriedly and you nodded in response and still panting. "Where have you been?" Siwon asked as he eyed the huge colorful paper bag that you were holding. "I-I just strolled around..." You stuttered as you tried to hide the huge paper bag from him. "You strolled when it's drizzling?" Siwon asked with an arched eyebrow. "That's what umbrella's are for, right?" You answered with a hint of sarcasm. "Isn't it too early for shopping?" Siwon asked as he tried to peek at the huge paper bag that you placed on your other side, away from him. "I wasn't, I just bought something..." You said and bit your lip. Siwon was about to say something again when the instructor came in. You sighed in relief knowing that Siwon would interrogate you more about your mystery paper bag. By the end of your class, you immediately grabbed your paper bag; holding it close enough so that Siwon won't peek in. "Let me help you..." Siwon said as he eyed again your huge mystery paper bag. But instead, of giving him the paper bag, you gave him your bag. His eyebrow arched as he couldn't help not to be curious with what's inside your paper bag. "By the way, we're going somewhere..." Siwon said. "W-where are we going?" You asked stuttering. "Well, the guys are having a small barbecue party later and I'm inviting you and they wanted to meet you..." Siwon explained with his hand gestures. "When you say "they", do you mean...?" You asked trying to finish the whole sentence. "Super Junior plus managers..." Siwon continued for you. Your eyes grew wide. "Why would they want to meet me?"

"B-because... because they wanted to..." Siwon stuttered. "That's weird, because the last time I checked, I was the one who wanted to meet an idol and not the other way around where an idol wanted to meet me... And barbecue, but it's drizzling..." You rambled. Siwon chuckled. "You're rambling again...Nervous again?" Siwon asked but you just gave him a blank stare. "You know what, let's go..." he said as he lead you to his car. Siwon stopped his car in an apartment complex and parked his car like a boss on one of the parking slots. You were a little quiet during the entire trip. You were quite nervous and excited at the same time on meeting the whole Super Junior, you didn't expect that it could happen to you. You had to pinch yourself to check if your dreaming or something. You guys then took the elevator to the SJ dorms. "You do not live here right?" You asked Siwon to loosen up from being tensed. "Yeah, are you sure you're not a stalker?" Siwon asked with an arched eyebrow. "You wish..." You said and rolled your eyes off of him. "I just heard it from a variety show and I remember you giving me different instructions to your house..." You rambled. "You're rambling again. Tell me, why are you so nervous?" Siwon said. "I-I... Well, it's not like I get to meet an idol everyday..." You reasoned. "And I'm not even well dressed..." You muttered. "Relax, you looked pretty..." Siwon said and smirked; you just sighed at him in return, not realizing that he just complimented you. As the elevator stopped at the right floor, Siwon took your hand and held it, giving it a secured squeeze. You just gave Siwon a blank stare and he just gave you an assuring smile in return. You then walked in an almost secluded hallway, it was like they already bought the whole floor. As you approached the main door, you could hear noise coming from inside. Siwon then keyed-in the password for the door lock. As the door opened, piles and tons of shoes welcomed you. You somehow felt like you were in a shoe store. "Hi guys!" A mochi-cheeked-cute-kid greeted them. "Hi Henry!" Siwon greeted back and you gave him an awkward smile; you didn't really know how to respond. Let's just say you were star stuck. You then took off your shoes; Siwon was holding you by your elbow and assisting you. Siwon then lead you to the living room where most of the members and managers are watching some basketball game while the others were busy in the kitchen. "Guys we're here~~~!" Siwon sang; everyone's head jerked up and looked up to you both. "Guys I want you to meet _____. _____-ah, this is Donghae-sshi, Eunhyuk-sshi, Shindong-hyung, Yesung-hyung and Heechul-hyung, you already know each other, right?" Siwon introduced and you nodded in return. "Annyeonghaseyo, _____ imnida..." You said and bowed at them. They all gave you a warm smile and gave you a hand shake. Then a sleepy head Leeteuk just came out of his room. "Hyung, this is _____, _____ meet Leeteuk-hyung..." Siwon said. "Annyeonghaseyo..." You greeted Leeteuk with a slight bow. Leeteuk scratched his eyes and looked at you from head to toe. *Whoa, what is this? Why is he looking at me like that? It's like he's judging me or something... And why am I feeling like this? Like I'm in some reality show like 'We Got Married' and I'm being introduced to my ajibaems. Oh no, I'm not properly dressed. Good thing I'm wearing something white right now, I heard that he likes white...* You told yourself. Leeteuk then looked up to you and gave you a

smile."Welcome to the family ______-ah!" Leeteuk said with a warm smile. You then sighed in relief as you saw him genuinely smile at you. *But what did he say again? Family? Me? Welcome? But I'm just a fan...* "C'mon I'll introduce you to the other members..." Siwon said as he took your hand again and lead you to the kitchen. Everything's just so strange for you, you really don't know what's going on. "Sungminhyung, Ryeowook-sshi, Zhoumi, Henry and Kyuhyun-sshi, this is _____-ah..." "Annyeonghaseyo..." You said for the nth time. They all greeted you back with warm smiles and handshakes. "It's nice to finally meet you _____-ah. We heard so much about you..." Sungmin said while holding a pair of chopsticks. "Chincharo?" You asked and looked at Siwon who was just smiling at you. "New, Siwon-hyung always brags about you and photography..." Ryeowook said. "He also said that it was the best experience when you taught him about star gazing..." Kyuhyung babbled but he was stopped when Siwon coved his mouth. You got puzzled but then you just brushed off what was happening. You then noticed that they where preparing for the barbecue party. "Can I do anything to help?" You asked. "But you're our guest..." Sungmin said. "Well, Leeteuk-oppa just called me a family, so I'm not a guest now right?" You asked. "You have a good point there..." Kyuhyun said with chopsticks in his hand. You're eyes slightly grew wide to see Kyuhyun in the kitchen. "You're also cooking?" You asked Kyuhyun. "No, I'm just taste-testing..." Kyuhyun said with a grin. You then chuckled. You then saw Ryeowook holding a head of lettuce for the salad. "Can I do that?" You asked. "Are you sure?" Ryeowook asked and you nodded yes in response. "Well if you insist..." Ryeowook said and gave you the lettuce and a small knife. "_____-ah, be careful with that..." Siwon said. "I always do house hold chores Siwon-ah, so no need to remind me..." You said a bit smug and the others laughed with your remark. A little later, they started to grill the pork, hotdogs, some vegetables. You can smell that it's really good, it was marinated well by Ryeowook and Zhoumi. Shortly, after everything was cooked, everyone gathered in the living room. The living room was turned into a dining room to make a more than 10 persons sit down and eat. You watched everyone hungrily gathered up and excited to eat. You couldn't help but smile, be amazed and still can't believe that you're here eating early dinner with them. "____-ah, try these. Ryeowook-sshi cooks well, I promise..." Siwon said as he placed some food on your plate. "Gomawo oppa..." You said. Siwon smiled at the thought that you called him oppa. "Can I ask, what's the occasion for this barbecue party?" You asked. Well you actually had a clue, you thought that it's Siwon's birthday tomorrow and this is their celebration.

"You don't know?" Donghae asked. "This is our celebration for Siwon-hyung's birthday..." Henry said with his mouth full of food. Zhoumi then, handed him some napkins. "Thanks hyung..." "Yah, why didn't you tell me that this is already your birthday celebration?" You complained to Siwon. "I have plans tomorrow..." Siwon answered. "So you're ditching classes tomorrow again?" You asked. "I'll still attend classes, so you should bring me a gift tomorrow..." Siwon said like a kid, trying his aegyo to you. "You're such a kid..." You rolled your eyes off of him. "You should at least give respect the king of aegyo here..." You said, referring to Sungmin. "Thanks _____-ah!" Sungmin beamed cutely. "See what I mean?" You said. "Are you guys together?" Yesung said and he was elbowed by Ryeowook on his side. "N-no!" You said stuttering with eyes wide while Siwon choked. "Wae? I'm just asking... They bicker like they're a married couple..." Yesung continued. Siwon coughed some more and you got a little concerned. You then lightly patted his back and gave him his glass of water. "See what I mean?" Yesung said. You couldn't help but blush on his remark. April 7th: You woke up earlier the next day without the help of your alarm clock. You got up and hurried your way to the bathroom to do your morning routine. You still have to finish wrapping your gift for Siwon. You then took a big blue box, about 12 inches by 12 inches big and arranged all the stuff you got for him that you bought at the gift shop. After which, you then took a bath and picked your usual comfortable outfit. You don't know why you're this excited for Siwon. You were also worried that he might not like the gift you got for him.*It's the thought that counts!* You reminded yourself and sighed. You looked at your watch and it ticked 7:30 am. *Still early...So this is how excited I am?* You asked yourself. You sighed again and decided to grab some breakfast at your favorite coffee shop. You then grabbed your backpack and the gift box for Siwon and walked your way to the coffee shop. As you got out of your apartment building,you noticed a black Range Rover truck parked in front. You squinted your eyes after realizing who owns it."What are you doing here this early?" You asked Siwon who was leaning on his truck wearing simple clothes that almost matched yours with a beanie and shades. "That's not how you greet a birthday celebrant..." Siwon whined. "Oh... Well, Happy Birthday then..." You said. Siwon chuckled. "Thanks. It's still early where are you going?" Siwon asked. "I'm going to grab myself some breakfast..." You answered. "I've already got us some..." Siwon said as he pointed his thumb to his truck. You looked at him in a bit weirded out expression. "Let's go? Before the rain pours..." He continued. "Okay..." You kind of hesitantly agreed with him.

"But first, let me help you with that..." Siwon said as he eyed your big blue box. "Is this your gift for me?" "We'll see..." You replied. Siwon then took the box from you and placed it at back passenger's seat. He then opened the front passenger's seat for you and helped you get in. Siwon almost ran to get into the driver's seat when he noticed that it started to drizzle again. "Great, there goes my plans..." Siwon said as he got inside. "What plans?" You asked; puzzled. "You'll see..." Siwon said with a smirk. "Oh, here's your coffee and your sandwich..." Siwon said as he handed you an iced coffee and a sandwich. "Thanks... How 'bout you?" You asked. "Of course I have some for myself too..." Siwon said and winked at you. You couldn't help it not to chuckle, the fangirl inside you went on a back flip with that wink. "You're really pretty when you smile..." Siwon said and took a bite on his sandwich. "Thanks, and so are you..." You then took a sip on your iced coffee. "That's another first..." Siwon said with a smile. "What first?" You asked, puzzled. "The the first time you ever complemented me..." Siwon said with a grin. "You want me to take it back?" You asked with an arched eyebrow. "You know, no wonder this is your favorite coffee shop, it's really good..." Siwon said, suddenly changing the topic. You then laughed at his silliness. After having breakfast in his car, Siwon started to drive. You tried to relax, you still can't believe the fact that you started to get all comfortable with each other. You can't believe that you an casually talk with him, joke with him and what not. You rested your back on the car seat and looked out the window. You then noticed something.... "Wait, this isn't the way to our classes..." You said. "I know..." Siwon casually said. "Where are we going?" You asked. "You'll see..." "B-but, how about our classes? I-I thought..." You stuttered and trailed off. "I already told you yesterday, I already have plans right?" Siwon said. "A-and that includes ditching classes?" You asked. "Yep..." "A-and tagging me along is still part of your plan?" "Yep..." Siwon said with a nod. You then noticed you guys were already leaving the city. "Where are we going?" You asked again.

Siwon smiled. "Trust me, you'll like it..." Siwon said. But to your surprise, Siwon took your hand and kissed the top of it. Your eyes suddenly widen in shock and your mouth fell hang open with his sudden actions. You gulped as Siwon released your hand and started to focus back in his driving. You suddenly got nervous and blood crept up to your face making you blush. You then looked away to hide your blush. You then fell quiet and a bit shy to the statuesque person who's driving you to god knows where. Siwon then turned on the radio and Blue Moon started to play. You looked at him in disbelief as he sing along to the old song. You just kept quiet as you adored the scenery from the car window. You noticed that you were going closer to the sea. "We're here~~~" Siwon sang. After 2 hours of driving, you guys finally arrived to your destination. "Wait, we're not trespassing, right?" You asked Siwon who was driving to a garage of a modern beach house."Nope, welcome to our family house..." Siwon said as he parked the car. He then got out of the car while you were stuck up and couldn't even move from your seat. Siwon then opened the door for you. "W-why are we here?" You asked stuttering nervously with your seat belt still buckled to your seat. You have no clue on what Siwon's up to. Siwon chuckled. "We're here because this is what I'll be using for our photography class' final project... and I wanted to see the sunset, that's why we're here..." "W-with me?" You asked. "B-but it's still early for a sunset and it's been drizzling from time to time so we don't know if we will be able to watch it later..." You stuttered and rambled. "Yes, with you. You're rambling again..." Siwon chuckled but changed his face to a serious one. "_____ah, I won't do anything to hurt you. I promise..." Siwon then gave a sweet smile. "I wouldn't be called Shisus for nothing." He joked and you finally gave out a slight smile. "So you better get out of the truck because I still have to cook lunch for us." "Okay..." You said and unbuckled the seat belt. Siwon again helped you out of the truck and got your box and two huge paper bags from the back passenger's seat. "What's in those paper bags?" You asked as you got curious with it. Siwon chuckled. "Our food and the other one's a secret..." He said and stuck out his tongue. Siwon then lead you inside the house. You couldn't help but admire the beautiful interior design of the beach house. The view of the beach through the glass wall windows is just breath taking. You then heard Siwon humming to whatever song it is while preparing the things he needed to cook lunch. You watched as Siwon skillfully work in the kitchen. You offered help but he won't let you. He said that you're his guest and he should serve you. You then got your camera and started taking pictures of him cooking and what not. It was already late for lunch when he finished cooking, the kitchen was filled with the food's aroma and it made you really hungry. He made bibimbap for lunch and you have to admit that it's delicious. After lunch, you helped Siwon to tidy up the mess he made in the kitchen. Then Siwon lead you to the patio where you can see a stretch of blue water and sand. "Whoa..." Was the only word you can utter as you adored the scenery in front of you. "Isn't it a beaut?" Siwon said. "I knew you'll like it. Kaja, you'll appreciate the scenery more in there..." Siwon said as he pointed on a dock. Armed with your camera, you and Siwon walked to the sea shore to go to the dock. You both took pictures of each other, of the scenery, just enjoying the company of each other until the sun finally sets. You both watched the sunsets horizon by the dock until the skies turned to purple and the moon and the stars started to shine. _____-ah, can I ask why do you like the stars so much? Siwon asked as he leaned back using his

arms as support. I like shooting stars better You corrected him and also leaned back. You noticed that hes waiting for an answer. Well, Im not really a star expert You said as you draw quotation marks in the air. But what I know is that shooting stars come only once in a while, youll never know if itll come back again. So you have to grasp that short moment, cherish it and never let that moment pass without making a wish or a short prayer or what not You continued as you look up and admire the night sky. Little did you know that Siwon as well admired you. You felt that Siwon was looking at you staring at you- and you suddenly looked at him and caught him off guard. You both looked away from each other; you felt heat creep up to your face. You dont know why but your lips wanted to curl up in a smile. Then you felt something wet dropped on your nose. I think we should better get back to the house You said and Siwon looked at you a bit shocked. Then another rain drop fell on your face. Now! You almost yelled and got up as rain started to pour down fast. The cameras!Siwon said. You took off your jacket and wrapped your camera with it, and Siwon did the same thing as well with his camera. You both then ran back to the beach house while hugging the wrapped camera. You both finally reached the beach house drenched and shivering in cold. Siwon then lead you to the living room and started to light up the fire place. Keep warm, Im just gonna get us some towels Siwon said and you nodded at him in reply. You then sat by the fireplace and immediately checked both of your cameras. You sighed in relief to see that it was all dry. When Siwon came back, he wrapped a huge towel on your back. You blushed as you felt warm arms wrapped around you. You felt his warm breath on your cheeks which made you blush some more. If only you werent shivering you would have got up, but it felt so comfortable and warm in his arms and stayed like that for a little while. Even though youve known each other for just a short while, it felt like youve known each other long before. But you suddenly felt conscious after realizing that he is still Super Juniors Choi Siwon, the actor, the model, the idol. You then flinched and started to scoot away from him. W-whats wrong? Siwon asked as he got surprised with your sudden action. I I have something for you You said with a faint smile. You then took the big blue box you got for him. Happy birthday! You said as you sat beside him and handed him your gift. Siwon smiled. Thanks Can I open it now? He asked and you nodded yes in reply. Siwon lifted the lid and chuckled at the random stuff you got for him. He took out a Starbucks tumbler with a design that you personally doodled. I knew how you like your coffee, so there you go You explained. Then Siwon took out a cute face mask with a snout of a bear. Well, I see a lot of idols wear those, especially in public, I thought that it might be useful and cute You smiled. Siwon chuckled. He then took out new camera cleanser and with cloth. Whats this for? I already have this Siwon asked with an arched eyebrow. Yeah, but then you always misplace or forget to bring your own You said as you relaxed his raised eyebrow with your index finger. Shibrows You muttered and both chuckled. Then took out another gift, a book entitled Prayer Book for Busy People. This is really nice _____-ah, I really needed this. Siwon said and you smiled at him in return. Theres no need to explain why you gave him the book. Siwon then took out a box of ginseng tea.

You told me before that after this month your schedule will be packed, the ahjumma told me that its good for the over fatigued and stressed people. You explained. Siwon nodded and took another small box. A sweet smile crept on his lips as he opened your last gift for him. It is a telescope keychain with his name engraved on it. I remembered how fascinated you were when we went on star gazing, but then I couldnt afford to give you a real telescope at the moment, so I got you a keychain instead You said with a smile. Thank you _____-ah I totally appreciate it. Siwon said with a sincere smile on his face. Youre welcome You said with a smile. The next thing that happened gave the ultimate shock of your life. Siwon leaned closer to you; he tucked a lock of hair behind your ears and gently kissed you right at the corner of your lips. Your heart pounded like its going to explode anytime. Siwons eyes were planted on yours, lovingly. W-what W-why did you do that for? If that was a thank you kiss it shouldve been on the cheek, or forehead, but not on the lips You rambled and trailed off. I like you Siwon said without taking his eyes off you. Your lips fell to an O, and your eyes widen in such surprise. Ever since the first time I saw you sleeping at our class, I think I fell for you. I dont even know why because youre not even my type. But youre pretty, youre beautiful Siwon trailed off. but thats not the point, ever since that day I cant stop thinking about you, thats why I always wanted to bug you Siwon continued and trailed off again. He ruffled his hair in frustration while you listen to him in shock with every word that comes out from his lips. again thats not the point. I like you _____-ah, you never treated me like an idol; youre this free spirited person that Ive always admired. Whenever youre there Im always happy, I feel free... Its crazy but thats why I like you and Im falling in love with you Siwon said sincerely with his famous hand gestures, of course. Will you please say something cause Im starting to feel like Im talking to myself You seriously have gone crazy You said. _____-ah, Im serious. Im serious about you Siwon said with a serious face. You looked horrible when youre serious. You said. Siwon chuckled with your remark. Thats what I like about you, you never fail to make me smile Siwon then bit his lip and tried to be serious again. ____-ah, I know this is too early to ask. Will you be my girlfriend? You woke up as the sunlight hit your face. You noticed that you slept on the carpet, your head resting on a comfortable pillow and you were wrapped in a towel and blanket. You looked at your watch and it ticked 10:30a.m. You then realized what happened yesterday. The Choi Siwon confessed his feelings for you. It was a cherry on top and well defined headline in your mind now. But you realized that you were just an ordinary person, you couldn't even be compared to the models, actresses and idols he's been paired up to, but he chose you. You instantly blushed as you remember the words he told you yesterday. It wasn't really the most romantic confession, but you knew that everything he said was spontaneous and sincere. *But what was my reply to his question?* You asked yourself and started to recall the things you've said when he asked you to be his girlfriend. ~~Here's what happened~~ "_____-ah, I'm serious. I'm serious about you..." Siwon said with a serious face. "You looked horrible when you're serious." You said.

Siwon chuckled with your remark. "That's what I like about you, you never fail to make me smile..." Siwon then bit his lip and tried to be serious again. "_____-ah, I know this is too early to ask. Will you be my girlfriend?" You bit the inside of your cheek as you thought for a moment. "Why? Give me a hundred reasons why you like me..." You said, you didn't really know what or how to reply in such confession and question. It's been a while since the last time you were in a relationship and you weren't really used to this kind of things, especially when it's coming from an idol like him. "Just a hundred?" Siwon asked. "Well I could give you thousand..." "A hundred is enough..." You said as you gave a small yawn and covered your mouth in the process. Siwon sighed and started to think. "I like your smile. I like it when you blush. I like the way you think. I like how stubborn you are. I like the way how you make importance to your family. I like how artistic and creative you are. I like how you treat me. Iike how you look at me. I like it when you speak your mind. I like it how you see the stars..." Siwon then started to enumerate the random things what he likes about you and counting it with his fingers. He's almost at the end when he felt a weight on his shoulder yet again. Yes, you did fell asleep again. "Aish, this girl... Again?" Siwon said, but instead of getting angry he smiled and admired on how peaceful you looked like in your sleep. He caressed your face and kissed your forehead. Siwon took a pillow and carefully laid you on his lap. He watched you sleep until he too fell asleep. ~~~End~~~ You literally slapped your forehead hard when you realized that you fell asleep again. "That'll leave a mark..." A familiar voice said. Well, who else will it be. Siwon had a smirk on his face as he looked at you still laying on the carpet. "How long have you been there..." You asked. Siwon approached you and helped you get up. "A while... I saw you blushing though..." He said. You then blushed some more, earning a chuckle form Siwon. "Got you something..." Siwon said and handed you a plain white paper bag. "What's this?" You asked as you took a peek inside. Your eyes widen and your mouth fell hanging open to see a new dress inside, a new pair of shoes and 3 different size of panties and bras. "I'm sorry, I wasn't sure about your size so I bought 3 possible pairs..." Siwon said with a blush. "Pervert..." You muttered. "Y-you were all drenched yesterday so I suppose you would want to change..." Siwon said stuttering as he explained. "W-when did you get these?" You asked. "I got the dress and the shoes two days ago and I got the undergarments just earlier at the nearby boutique..." Siwon explained. "Just go, take a shower and get dressed, I don't want you to get sick..." A smile started to curl up on your lips when you heard the last part of his sentence. "Gomawo, oppa..." You said with a little smile and walked off the the bathroom. Leaving Siwon smiling by himself as you called him oppa again.

When you got out of the bathroom, you found him at the dinning area setting the table for lunch."Hi you're..." Siwon said as he noticed you but trailed off when he finally looked at you wearing the dress he got for you "...there..." You really felt conscious, you don't know if the dress doesn't suit you or what. "Do I look okay?" Mesmerized is the right word for Siwon at the moment. "Really beautiful..." You bit your lip and couldn't help but blush. "Siwon-ah, kamsahamnida... Thank you for everything, but don't get me wrong but I don't really like people spending so much for me..." "I understand. It's just the moment I saw that dress, you're the only person I remembered..." Siwon said. You smiled. "Siwon-ah, oppa, about yesterday..." You bit your lip. Siwon smiled again as you called him oppa and started to approach you. "_____-ah, I know you're still confused, but I'm willing to wait..." Siwon said with the most sincere eyes. "Well, I have to admit, I find it kind of fast. You don't really know me, and I don't really know you. But I have a solution for that..." You said, a bit nervous and saw Siwon waiting for an answer. "I was thinking that maybe we could go out on a date sometimes, to get to know each other more..." You said. "Are you asking me on a date?" Siwon asked and you rolled your eyes off of him. "Of course, yes... I would be glad to! Thank you! Thank you!" Siwon said happily. He then cupped your face and kissed your forehead. Suddenly you saw his phone rang and to your surprise, you saw your sleeping face as his wallpaper. Siwon suddenly excused himself to get the phone call, and you were as if glued to the ground dumbfounded. "Yes hyung..." Siwon answered the phone. "Yes, everything's perfectly fine... Ne, ne, ne hyung..." You heard hims say. "Ne, we'll be back probably after lunch..." Siwon said. "That was our managerhyung..." Siwon explained. You then crossed your arms to your chest and tapped your foot. "Why is my face on your phone?" You asked. Siwon bit his lip as he was trying to suppress a smile, making him blush a little. "Yah!" You yelled in a bit irritated tone and lightly hitting his arm. "It's cute!" Siwon finally said. "Let me see!" "You already saw it!" Siwon said and hides his phone at his back. "Yah!" You yelled and tried to reach his phone from his back. "But you already saw it!" Siwon said and lifts his arm in the air with his phone in his hand so you won't be able to reach it. He's freakin' 183cm. for crying out loud! "Let me see!!!" You jumped as you were trying to reach his phone. You jumped and pretty much looked like a kid being bullied by a big guy. You even tried to tickle his armpit and poke his sides but it didn't help. You then tried to push him and jump to reach his phone. But when you did that, Siwon lost his balance, causing him to fall from his back. He caught your hand for support but he was too heavy, making you fall on top of him. He then held you in his arms securely, his face was really worried. "Are

you okay?" You were all shocked with what happened, everything happened so fast. Realizing your face was just inches away from him made you really blush. "Y-yeah..." You stuttered and started to get up. "I'm sorry..." You said as you bit your lip and helped Siwon get up. "But are you okay? Is there anything that hurts?" Siwon asked you, still with his worried face, looking at you. You shook your head no. "I'm really sorry..." You said with your head low; seeing how worried he was because of your clumsiness made you feel a little guilty. Siwon then smiled and lightly lifted your chin; making you face him. He softly planted a kiss on your forehead again, making you blush. "Let's eat,shall we?" Siwon said and you nodded yes in response. He took your hand and offered you a chair, he served you like a gentleman should treat a girl. It was time for you and Siwon to go back to the city. You both were on your way home when you suddenly remembered something. "Oppa!" You almost yelled. "What is it honey?" Siwon asked. "What did you call me?" "You heard me..." Siwon smirked but a hint of blush is evident on his cheeks. "What is it honey?" He asked again, making you too blush. "I-I just remembered that your fans were planning to give you something for your birthday as a birthday project.." You started. "Yeah, manager hyung told me about it over the phone a while ago... How did you know?" Siwon asked. "Well, I saw these 3 school girls in a coffee shop two days ago. Then I overheard their conversation that they were going to give you a birthday project. So I approached them and conversed with them. They said that they were going to give you a cake and some stuff and that they're leaving it at the SME Building on your birthday, and that was yesterday. They're just really cute and they also let me sign on the birthday card that they'll be giving you..." You said excitedly with a smile on your face. "I saw how your fans really love you..." Siwon chuckled and smiled genuinely. "Ne, I'll always be grateful for them." "Siwon-oppa, can we go to SME Building before heading home to accept their gifts for you? It's just they put so much effort for it..." You asked. "Of course..." Siwon smiled. "Thank you _____-ah." Siwon said and held your hand and kissed it. He was so happy to see you're enthusiasm towards his fans, he saw that you have a good heart and with that he fell for you more. It's already past 1a.m. and you're still wide awake. You can't remember how many times you toss and turn onyour bed. You groaned at yourself because you really wanted to sleep, you still have classes tomorrow. Speaking of classes, Siwon didn't attend today's classes. He had this photo shoot for a clothing company. The last time you heard from him was his text during lunch, asking if you already had lunch. But it was already past midnight, and you still haven't heard anything from him, and yes you're worried. Dating an idol is a first time for you. You also realized that after this week, it'll be your last week of your photography classes. You knew that after this it'll mean less time to see each other,

and you knew that Siwon will be very busy. *If Siwon will be very busy, and I'm dating him I just have to get used to it. I have to be very patient and understanding when it comes to his schedules. As long as Siwon is there, I'll be okay...* You told yourself, with a hint of blush in the last sentence. You were deep in your thoughts when your phone beeped with a text message. You reached your phone from your side table and a smile started to curl up from your lips when you saw Siwon's name. It read: From: Choi Siwon Are you still awake? From: Honey (You) Ne, can't sleep... From: Choi Siwon Open the door please? Your eyes grew wide like saucers and immediately sat up from your bed. You grabbed your brush and hurriedly brush your hair and hurried to the door of your apartment. You took a peek on the peephole before opening the door and found Siwon wearing a cap and sunglasses that made you hard to recognize him at first. He was standing behind the door with one hand leaning on the door jamb. You then let out a deep breath before opening the door to relax yourself. When Siwon heard that you were already unhooking the door locks, he took off his sunglasses and started to fix himself. As soon as the door opened, he felt so happy to see you welcome him with a smile. But your smile faded to see him looked tired and worn out from work, you felt really sorry and worried for him. Siwon gave you a faint smile and sighed heavily. And to your surprise, Siwon engulfed you into a tight embrace. There were no words needed, you felt how tired he was. Even though you were too surprised with what he did, you just returned his embrace and patted his back. You stayed like that for a while. "Oppa, everything okay?" You asked when he released you; even though you knew that there's something wrong. "I'm sorry it's just that I miss you a lot..." Siwon said with his tired eyes. "Are you sure?" Siwon nodded. "I was just tired from the photo shoot, but I'm totally perfect now. I just really wanted to see you." He said and caressed your cheek. You instantly blushed when he did that. "C'mon I have something to fix that..." You said and took his hand. Siwon smiled at the sight of his and your hands laced together. You then lead him to the living room and let him sit on the sofa. Siwon tried not to fall asleep while waiting for you. After a few minutes, you came back and he noticed you holding a mug of hot beverage. You handed the mug to him and he smiled when he saw that it was a hot chocolate with marshmallows on top. "Now don't be too amused, that's just a pocket of Swiss Miss. I couldn't make you a real one in just a flash..." You said. Siwon smiled. "But you made it for me..." He said and took his phone from his pocket and took a picture of the mug. "Why'd...?" You asked but trailed off.

"For souvenir..." Siwon said and that made you chuckle. "Oppa, drink up before it gets cold... Be careful, it might be too hot." You warned. Siwon smiled and did what he was told. "Wait, did you even have dinner?" "Yes Honey..." Siwon said with a smile. You blushed again in an instant. Siwon has been calling you 'Honey' ever since his birthday. "You should've just headed home and take a rest..." "I told you, I really wanted to see you, that's all I need." Siwon said which made you blush some more. "You must be really tired, you should take a rest..." You said in full concern when he finished drinking the hot chocolate. "Can I stay here?" Siwon asked with his puppy eyes. Your eyes grew wide. "I-I can sleep here on the sofa..." He said. "You're all tired, you might want to sleep on something comfortable. You can take my bed for the night and I'll sleep here..." "But I can't let you sleep here again..." Siwon said. "I have an idea, why don't you sleep on the sofa and I'll sleep on the carpet..." He suggested. You bit the inside of your cheek and thought for a moment. "I have a better idea..." You asked Siwon to help you link the two couches together, making it on a form of a crib. "This is brilliant!" Siwon said with his famous hand gestures. " Thank you! Now you take the sofa, and I'll take the couches..." You said. "But this will be better..." Siwon said and pushed the couches beside the sofa. You chuckled. You then took out some pillows and blankets and started to sleep. The next morning, Jihyo got out of her room and was surprised to see the living room totally different. She rubbed her eyes and blinked few times to take the blurriness from her eyes. She squealed and got excited inside when she saw you and Siwon sleeping with your hands intertwined. *Finally!* She thought. She was too happy for you that she took your camera from your room and thought that it would be great to take picture of you two. You suddenly woke up when you felt light flickered with your eyes closed. You opened your eyes and saw Jihyo with your camera. "What are you doing?" You asked as you blink out the blurriness from your eyes. "You tell me..." Jihyo chuckled. "Are we redecorating the living room or this is the new order of Feng Shui?" She mocked with a chuckle. "Shut up..." You muttered. "Hey, don't you guys have classes today?" Jihyo asked. "Oh yeah..." You slapped your forehead and turned to Siwon to wake him up. You smiled at the sight of Siwon sleeping soundly while holding your pinky.

"Yah! If you won't stop staring, Siwon might melt..." Jihyo mocked. "Aish..." You muttered, giving a death glare to Jihyo. "Arasso, arasso...I'll leave you two alone..." Jihyo said and went straight to the bathroom. You then turned back to Siwon. "Oppa, wake up..." You said while nudging his shoulders. But Siwon just scrunched up his nose that made you chuckle. "Siwon-ah, wakey, wakey... C'mon, rise and shine..." You sang. "Five minutes more, Hon..." He muttered and made you blush. "Oppa, we have classes today..." Siwon opened and eye and closed it back. "Can we just ditch class today and spend time together?" "But you were already absent yesterday..." You reasoned. "I know, but I'm really tired..." Siwon said and snuggled more to his pillow with your hand. "Okay, then stay here and I'm going to class..." You said and tried to yank your hand from him. But he suddenly sat up and pulled you to him and wrapped his arms around you. "No you're not going anywhere..." Siwon chuckled. "Yah! Let me go!" You yelled. "No..." "I'll call your manager..." You warned. No youll not Siwon said and stuck out his tongue Mehrong! You couldnt help but laugh at him. In the end, you guys ended up staying at your house and spent the time together. You woke up one Saturday morning as you heard birds chirping outside your window. *That's weird...* You thought. You're living in the middle of the city and chirping birds to wake you up is rare to happen. You then realized that next week will be the last week of your photography class and you still don't have any concept for your theme 'Memories' for your final project. You suddenly envy Siwon who said that he's been working on his concept. Speaking of Siwon, you reached your phone from your side table and checked it if there's a text from him; and you were right. From: Choi Siwon Hello Honey! Good morning, rise and shine! Start your day with a prayer! :) You smiled like a fool in front of your phone and started to type your reply. From: Honey Yeah, you too. Be safe :) You knew Siwon would be busy for a photo shoot for a magazine today with other members and you have to admit that you're going to miss him. And knowing that this will be your last week for the photography class made you a little sad, plus the fact that he'll be very busy the week after. You then brushed off your emotions before it could ruin your day and started to think about your final project concept. You then got up, took your towel and went to the bathroom to start your morning routine. After which, you picked out an outfit that would be com comfortable for a walk. You decided to stroll out on a nearby park to get some fresh air and inspiration. It really was a nice day for a walk, it's not too cold nor too hot. There are some people jogging, some are just strolling like you,

enjoying the good weather. You saw a group of halabeoji playing chess on the benches that made you miss your grandparents more. You smiled at yourself as you watch them and took a picture. You then walked to the park's play ground, where there are few kids playing. You were watching the children play when a little girl run past you, you watched her run to a halabeoji who was also watching the kids; sitting on the park bench. "Halabeoji! This is for you!" You heard the little girl say as she handed her halabeoji a yellow flower. "Ah yeppuda! Just like you..." Her grandfather said smiling with his chinky eyes and pinched her cheeks. "Gomawo Hana-ah!" You smiled as you watched them in an awe. Hana, the little girl reminded you of yourself when your were just a kid. You then snapped out of your thoughts and approached them. "Annyeonghaseo!" You greeted them politely with a bow. "Annyeonghaseo..." Halabeoji greeted back, he was smiling again. "_______-imnida, I'm a photography student, I was wondering if I can take a few pictures of you and your grand daughter for my photography class?" You asked with your head down and still with a slight bow. "It's just that your granddaughter reminded me of myself when I was little and you reminded me of my late halabeoji..." You explained. Then halabeoji smiled at you. "And you reminded me of Hana's mother when she was young..." He said and you looked up to him. "You shouldn't look down ______-ah. Let your pretty face show, let all namja see how pretty you are..." Halabeoji said with his chinky eyesmile. "You do really reminded me of my halabeoji..." You said with a smile. "Unnie, we could share halabeoji!" Hana squealed in delight. "Gomawo, Hana-ah!" You said. "I thought you'll make us your model? Start shooting now, and make me handsome, arasso?" Halabeoji said, his smile never left his face. "Yeah, arasso-yo halabeoji!" You said. You then peeked at the view finder of your camera and snapped. You really had a great time with them, you even played with Hana. "______-ah, I think your hand phone is ringing..." Halabeoji said when he heard something. You were too engrossed playing with Hana that you didn't notice it. "Answer it, it might bw your boyfriend..." "Ah, gomawo halabeoji..." You said and blushed with his last remark. You smiled blushed some more when you saw the name flashing on your screen. "See, I knew it..." Halabeoji mocked. You tried to suppress a chuckle and excused yourself. "Yeoboseo?" You said as you answered the phone. "You really are most beautiful when you smile, do you know that?" Siwon said as soon as you answered your phone. "I'm not smiling..." You lied but blushed at his compliment. "And adding some blush to your cheeks makes it perfect..." He added. "I'm not blushing..."

"Well according to what I see from here, you are now smiling while talking to me and I'm actually not sure if you're blushing but I'm betting on it..." Siwon chuckled. "Yah! Siwon-ah, are you stalking me?" You asked with your eyebrows creased. "Now don't frown..." Siwon said. You then started to look around. "Show yourself now..." You said and heard him chuckle. "Okay, okay... I'm having breakfast with manager-hyung at the coffee shop across the park from where you're standing..." Siwon said. You then turned and found a coffee shop. "Okay, do you want me to go there?" "I'd be glad to..." "Okay, let me just say goodbye to my new found friends, arasso?" "Arasso. Take care Honey..." Siwon said. "Thanks, you too..." You then hang up your phone and turned to halabeoji and Hana. "Halabeoji, Hanaah, I have to go. I have to meet my-" "Your boyfriend?" Halabeoji cut you off and continued your sentence for you. "A-aniyo halabeoji, he's not my boyfriend..." You blushed. "Yet?" Halabeoji teased and you blushed some more. "Arasso, go ahead. Visit me and Hana again next time arasso?" "Definitely!" You beamed. "Hana-ah, take care of your halabeoji, arasso?" "Ne, unnie!" Hana said in her cutest voice. You then grabbed your bag and your camera and waved at them before leaving. You then went out of the park and crossed the street to the coffee shop. As you entered the coffee shop, you saw Siwon waving at you with a bright smile. Sitting across him was their manager and they were seated near the window facing the park. You then smiled and waved back and approached them. Siwon stood up and offered a seat beside you. "Kamsahamnida..." You said. "Annyeonghaseo..." You greeted the manager with a slight bow. "Annyeonghaseo..." Siwon's manager greeted back. "I already ordered for you. Iced coffee and dark chocolate chip waffle..." Siwon said as he pushed you a plate of waffle and the iced coffee. He knew how you loved sweets especially dark chocolate. Your eyes beamed at the tempting waffle. "Thanks. I thought you have a photo shoot today with the other members?" You asked and took a sip on the iced coffee. "Yes we do, I just wanted to have breakfast first before heading there..." You nodded. "Okay..." You said and took a bite on your waffle. You looked out the window and saw halabeoji and Hana still there, you then smiled at how lovely they looked. "You really looked happy when you were with them..." Siwon smiled as he joined you watched them. "Yeah, they're really nice... And oh, I already have a concept for our theme..." You said and took your

camera and showed Siwon the pictures you took earlier. "Wow... Everything's really nice, you're really good!" Siwon said. "Thanks! Isn't Hana the cutest?" You said as you both shared to view the pictures on your camera while Siwon's manager was busy with his cellphone and iPad. "Yes she is really cute..." Siwon agreed. You both gave each others' opinion about your pictures when suddenly something cold was splashed at your back. A waiter walked by with an iced tea and accidentally spilled it at your back. "Ah, m-mianhe! Jeongmal mianhada..." The waiter stuttered. "Omo!" You exclaimed. "Oh no!" Siwon exclaimed and immediately grabbed some napkins. "Aish, how could you be so clumsy?" Siwon's manager said. "Mianhe, I slipped, it was an accident..." "Where's your manager, where's your boss?" Siwon's manager said. "No, no it's okay... No need to call the manager, it was just an accident..." You said while Siwon was trying to wipe your damp cardigan. "Yeah, ______-ah is right, we don't want to draw much attention right hyung?" Siwon said to his manager. "You can go back to your work now, we can take care of it..." Siwon said to the waiter. "Kamsahamnida, gomawo... Mianhe, jeongmal mianhe..." The waiter said with a bow before hurriedly leaving. Siwon then took off his jacket. "Take off your cardigan and use mine..." Siwon said and you did what you were told. As he helped you put on his jacket, he looked out on the window and found the same waiter outside not too far from the coffee shop, talking to two girls with face masks and and sunglasses. He then saw the two girls handed the waiter some cash. *What was that? Was he paid to do that to ______? Who are they?* Siwon asked himself. "Excuse me, I'm just going to check out something..." Siwon said and dashed out to the door. Siwon sneaked behind a lamp post and listened to what they're talking about. "Whew, I really thought I was going to lose my job..." The waiter sighed. "Do you think they're dating?" One of the girls asked waiter. "I'm not sure, but they sure do looked close... Well if you want me to investigate, I would like to demand for some more cash..." The waiter said and clicked his tongue. "Arasso, arasso, find out if they're dating and we'll give you what you deserve..." The other girl said. *Saseng fans?* Siwon thought, his eyebrows creased as he listened to them. Siwon couldn't hold it anymore and showed himself to them. The two girls and the waiter got startled as soon as they saw Siwon. "Did you just paid him to investigate on us?" "Siwon-oppa..." One of the girls said. "Mianhe, we're just a huge fan..." "You paid some one just to hurt my friend? We are thankful for the love and support you guys give us, we wouldn't be called idols if it weren't because of you guys. But did you know that when you hurt people close to me you're also hurting me? Not just me, that also goes to all the idols." Siwon said

sincerely. The other girl balled her fists. "But oppa, you should also know that whenever we see you with other person we are hurting too..." The girl said. Siwon got struck with what she said, he opened his mouth and tried to say something but nothing came out. "We're sorry Siwon-oppa. Let's go..." She said to the other girl. Siwon dumbfoundedly watched the two girls leave. When he got back to his senses, he then went back to the coffee shop. "Where have you been?" The manager asked Siwon but he didn't answered him. "Oppa, are you okay?" You asked him a bit worriedly, you noticed his sudden change of mood. "Ah yeah, don't worry..." Siwon plainly said and gave you an assuring squeeze on your hand. "Are you ready to go? We better head to the photo shoot, you don't want to be late..." The manager reminded. "Arasso..." Siwon said. Siwon then insisted to drive you home before going to the shoot. He sat with you at the back seat while the manager drives. He was so quiet and his aura really changed right after the incident. He never released your hand, giving it a loving squeeze from time to time. The manager stopped the van in front of your apartment, before going out of the van Siwon squeezed your hand again. You looked at him and gave him a smile. "_____-ah, from now on please tell me wherever you're going..." Siwon said with a bit worried tone. "O-okay... But why?" You couldn't help but ask. "I just wanted to be there always for you..." Siwon said with full concern. He just wanted to protect you and he doesn't want you to know that what happened earlier was done by some saseng fans. He knows how enthusiastic and supportive you are with his fans, and she doesn't want to change that. "A-arasso..." You said. "Well if you're still worried about the thing a while ago, don't let that ruin your day, it's just an accident..." You said innocently and oblivious with what really happened a while ago. Siwon then again gave your hand a squeeze. "You know you have to release my hand now if you don't want to be late for your photo shoot, right?" You smiled. Siwon smiled. "You know that I love you _____-ah, right?" You smiled with a blush and nodded yes. "Look, I'm starting to get sticky now so I really have to go..." You said. "Arasso..." Siwon said and cupped your cheek with his free hand. You thought that he's just going to kiss you on your forehead like he usually does. He then leaned closer to you, looking at your eyes, not on your lips, not on your cheeks, but your eyes only. You returned his stare as he goes closer and closer to you until you felt a pair of soft lips touched yours with his eyes now closed. Your heart pounded like it's going to explode anytime, but at the same time you felt comfort and warmth. When he pulled out he smiled at the sight of you with eyes wide as big as saucers. Siwon then opened the door for you and assisted you out of the van.Siwon-ah, gwenchana? Leeteuk asked his dongsaeng who has been quietly staring at his phone for some time now, while waiting for his turn for the photo shoot. The waiting room was really busy, except for Siwon who was just sitting on the couch and deeply thinking. Siwon then looked up to his hyung. Ah yeah, hyung Manager-hyung told me what happened a while ago Leeteuk started. Is _____-ah okay? She doesnt really know what happened a while ago. Hyung, I dont want _____ to get hurt, I wanted to protect her without sacrificing our groups image, without hurting anyone, especially _____.

You really love her that much Siwon-ah? Leeteuk asked and looked at Siwon. Siwon also looked at his hyung. Yes, hyung He replied straight forwardly with a sure nod. I know weve known each other for just more than two weeks, but Siwon lost his train of thought. I know what you mean, it already happened to me before Leeteuk said and they both chuckled. Siwon-ah, since _____-ah is already a part of our family now, I have an idea

The next day, you received a text message from an unknown number, it says: From: XXXXXXXXXXXX _____-ah, meet us at the SME Building later at lunch. Manager-hyung will be waiting for you at the entrance. Just go there arasso? Well be waiting for you! Teukie oppa Your eyes grew wide after realizing who texted you just now. And he did mentioned the word we so it means that the other members will be there. You then started to prepare for your lunch with them. You rummaged your closet to find something nice to wear. After preparing, you went to the coffee shop beside your apartment and bought a cake for them. As you arrived and parked your car in front of the building, you saw fans on the other side of the road and got amazed on how much they love their idols. You almost jumped in surprise when someone tapped your window, only to know that it was just their manager. You then got out of your car with the box of cake you got for them. Annyeonghaseo You greeted their manager with a slight bow. Annyeong, Im sorry of I scared you. Siwon told me your plate number and the members asked me to look out for you The manager said. Ah chincha? Gomawo-yo You said. Kaja, theyre all waiting for you at the practice room. The manager said and led you to their practice room. The manager opened the door for you and saw them fooling around, some were just playing games and some of them are sleeping. You were amused to see all the members like this. Noona youre here! Henry shouted and greeted you. Everyones head jerked up and looked at you. Annyeong! You greeted them with a smile. Siwon-ah, _____ is here! Eunhyuk said. You looked at Siwon whos being tackled by Donghae. Donghae didnt let Siwon go and continued tackling him. You couldnt help but laugh at how silly they looked like. Alright now cut it out! Leeteuk yelled. _____-ah, you made it! Leeteuk said as he approached you. Now, dont mind them, lets go lunch is waiting for us He said and led you to the buffet table and everyone followed behind. Noona, is that a cake? Is that for us? Henry asked you excitedly as he peered at the box you were holding. Ah, yeah. I got this for all of you You said with a smile. Henry smiled from ear to ear. Let me help you with that He said and took the box from you and placed it on the buffet table, together with the other food.

Aigoo _____-ah, thats really sweet of you, but you shouldnt have bothered Ryeowook said. Yeah, were the ones who invited you Leeteuk said. Its okay, besides my mom told me to not go unarmed when someone invites you in an event like this You said. Shes right, and I like the cake! Thank you _____-ah! Eunhyuk said. _____-ah, heres your plate Sungmin said and handed you a plate. Gomawo Sungmin-oppa You said. It didnt take a while when you felt an arm around your shoulders. You looked over and saw that it was Siwon, wearing a plain shirt, sweatpants and rubber shoes. Hey Is all that you could say. Hes wearing the simplest clothes that he could wear and yet he still looked gorgeous. Everything okay? Siwon asked you and you nodded yes in response. Im sorry for the late notice, but Teukiehyung came up with this Whats the occasion this time? You asked. None really, but we have something for you. But for now, we should eat lunch first arasso? Leeteuk answered for Siwon like a big brother to you. So everyone had lunch first. After which, Henry and Donghae got a box and placed it on front of you. What is this? You asked. Open it, its for you! Donghae said excitedly like a five year old kid. You looked at everyone who was eager for you to open the box. Are there cockroaches inside? You asked. Of course not Yesung said. You then nodded and opened the box. Inside was full of random things like face masks, scarves, sunglasses, nerdy glasses, hats and etc. What are these for? You asked with a slight chuckle. Well since, you and Ma-Si are going out; we figured out that you needed these Heechul said. You blushed at Heechuls remark. Leeteuk-hyung came up with this idea, no matter how low-key were going out fans will start to recognize you Siwon said. You see, there are some fans who dont want their idol to date or be seen with other girl Eunhyuk started. Its either theyll bash Siwon-sshi or theyll bash you Kyuhyun butted in. Were giving this to you so that if youll go out with Siwon, you could use these things as disguise Leeteuk said. Nari uses these kinds of things too Shindong said assuringly. Siwon held your hand. Hon, its not that Im ashamed to go out with you to hide you in this disguise, we just wanted to protect your privacy

You couldnt help but blush with Siwons pet name for you, its the first time he called you Hon in front of the other members. You then tried to process everything theyre talking about and understood what theyre trying to say. You then smiled at them. Thank you guys, you didnt really have to do this, but really thank you No worries _____-ah, were your oppas, were here to protect you Leeteuk said and ruffled your hair. He gave you this feeling that you really have an older brother in him. And most importantly Kyuhyun-ah did you do your task? Heechul asked Kyuhyun. Ne, hyung! Kyuhyun said. Heres your phone _____-ah He said as he handed you your hand phone. H-howd, how did you get my phone? You stuttered. I snatched it in your bag a while ago to save all our numbers there Kyuhyun said. And your mouth just fell to an O in surprise. If anything happens, you know your brothers are just a phone call away Leeteuk said. Our names are in initials, just to be safe Kyuhyun said. You felt really happy at that moment, knowing that theyre all concerned about you. You were so speechless and just couldnt help but smile at them. Thank you, thanks a lot You managed to say without taking the smile off of your face. Youre welcome _____-noona! Henry said. So can we eat the cake now?"_____-ah, wake up! Look who's on the internet!" Jihyo screamed as she shook you to wake you up while holding her iPad. You tried to open your eyes as you were still sleepy. You were out with Siwon late yesterday night till dawn, you guys had a simple dinner and watched a movie and tried out your new stuff that the SJ members gave you. You then forced yourself to get up and took the iPad from Jihyo. You squinted and blinked to take the blurriness away from your eyes. You squinted again and focused on a paparazzi picture of Siwon wearing a fedora hat, shades and a scarf wrapped around his neck up to his nose. Beside Siwon was a familiar figure of a girl, wearing a baseball cap, nerdy glasses and a scarf that was also wrapped around the neck that covered half of her face. Your eyes grew wide and almost bulged out when you realized that it was you. "Th-this was just yesterday... I-I mean, a while ago..." You stuttered as you looked at Jihyo. "Jihyo-ah, did you immediately recognize me?" "Not really, I just recognized your backpack's star keychain and that's when I realized that it was you..." Jihyo said honestly. You sighed heavily as you read the headline: 'SJ-member Choi Siwon, dating a mystery girl?'. *Unbelievable...* You thought and ruffled your bed head of a hair in disbelief. A little later, your phone rang and Siwon's name registered. "_____-ah, have you seen the news?" Siwon's first words as soon as you pressed the answer button. "Well good morning to you too..." You said sarcastically. "I'm sorry... I just got worried and I just want to check up on you. Are you okay?" Siwon said. "Well, yes I have seen the news and thanks for checking up on me. Yes I'm okay, but I have to say that

I'm shocked..." You said honestly. "Are you going to be in trouble?" "Not that much of a trouble, I already talked to our managers. They said as long as we hide your identity, it'll be okay... Will you be okay with that?" He asked with full concern. "Yes, of course. Don't mind me, I'm a lot more concerned about your image actually. I mean, what would your fans say? Of course they don't want to see their oppa going out on a date with someone. I'm really sorry Siwon-ah, let's be a lot more careful next time. I guess the stuff that the guys gave me worked, Jihyo said that she didn't recognize me at first..." You started to ramble. "You're rambling again Honey..." Siwon said and chuckled. "I know... I'm sorry..." You mumbled in defeat and bit your lip. Siwon chuckled again. "You don't have to be sorry. Don't let this news ruin your day, arasso?" Siwon said in his most comforting voice. "Ne..." You said. "Okay so, why don't you prepare for our class now, I don't want you to be late. I'll see you later..." Siwon said. "Arasso..." "I love you..." Siwon said sincerely. "Thank you..." You stupidly replied and hit your forehead with your palm in the process. You know your starting to feel the same way towards Siwon, but then you think that it's still early to say it back. You don't want to be seemed to be an easy kind of girl, especially because he's the Choi Siwon, and it's not like you're taking advantage of him either. You just wanted it to be a special day for the both of you. You don't need special effects and pyro-technics, you just wanted it to be in a right time and place.

Siwon parked his car at his favorite spot before entering the building for his photography class. He wanted to fetch you from your house earlier but you didnt let him. You said that you should maintain the low key dating that you guys are having. You dont want to risk anything more, especially his image and his bands image. Siwon was actually glad to know how understanding and supportive you were. But hes also worried about you. As much as he wanted to show the world how he loves you and how proud he is to have you, he cant. Hes got a handful reasons to take care of, his image, his bands image, your safety and your privacy. *What if someday shell get fed up?* He thought. He shook off that thought knowing that you have a good personality. He looked at his phone before heading to the buildings entrance and smiled when he saw a text message from you. From: Honey Im on my way nowSee you! Siwon was about to reply back to your text message when he heard someone calling his name. He looked up and saw two girls wearing face masks and hats. Oppa, were a huge fan! Can we have your autograph? One of the girls said. Siwon smiled and nodded. The girls then handed him a pen and their notebooks. After signing, Siwon handed them back their stuff.

Kamsahamnida Siwon said with a kind smile. Kamsahamnida They both said as they received their pen and notebook from Siwon. Oppa, we also have something for you. This is to show our support for you and to the lucky girl you are dating right now The other girl said and handed Siwon a blue cookie box and a pink cookie box. The blue box is yours oppa, and the pink box is for our unnie The other girl said. Ah, kamsahamnida Siwon said with a bow. He didnt say anything further and mum over the issue; it just might lead to another issue or a misunderstanding.

The clock on your dashboard ticked 8:30am. *Just in time...* You thought. You then got out from your car and went straight to your class. As you entered the room, you were welcomed by Siwons warm smile, you saw him stood up and took your bag from you as you approached him at your usual seat. "Hi!" You greeted him. "I'm on time right?" "Yes honey..." Siwon sang as he pulled out a chair for you and settled your bag on the table and sat beside you. "By the way, these are for you. I bumped into some fans a while ago and said that they support me dating and wanted me to give this to you." Siwon said as he handed you a pink cookie box. "Really?" You asked in disbelief and Siwon nodded yes. "Wow, well whoever it is thank you then..." You said. "Can I open it now?" You asked a bit excitedly. Siwon nodded yes. "Sure, I was actually waiting for you so that we could open it together..." You both started to open your own box, you intentionally opened your box slowly so that Siwon could open his box first. You saw Siwon smile right after he opened his box. "What's in it?" You asked as you tried to peer in at Siwon's box. "Cookies..." Siwon said with a bright smile as he showed you his box. "...and yours?" Siwon asked. You then took the lid off. "Aaahhhhh!!!" You screamed and jumped off of your seat. You almost ran to the farthest corner of the classroom, you were so shocked and scared with whatever you've seen inside the box. Siwon too was shocked from your sudden reaction. You cupped your mouth and clutched your chest with your other hand when you saw that everyone in the classroom was looking at you. Scared expression was written all over your face. Siwon then hurried to you and held you by your shoulders. "Wh-what... Why?" Siwon asked worriedly, unable to come up with the right question. You just stared at him blankly with wide eyes. "What happened?" One of your classmates -who's also a good friend to both of you- asked you both with concern and peered at the box that scared you off. "Oh shoot!" He exclaimed and hurried to cover back the box. "What's in it?" Siwon asked as he watched his colleague's reaction. "I-it's a box of cookies...w-with little cockroaches inside..." He answered Siwon stuttering. Siwon looked at you who was still shocked and tears are starting to well up in your eyes. You really aren't a cry baby, but when it comes to cockroaches, you'll definitely cringe and get scared. The next thing you knew, you

were carried by Siwon in his arms and let you sit on a chair. He knelt in front of you and caressed your face. _____-ah, drink some water. This will help..." One of your classmates said as he handed Siwon a bottled water. "Gomawo..." Siwon said and helped you drink. After finishing the whole bottle of water, you sighed and looked at Siwon. "I-I'm sorry..." You managed to say. "Hon, why are you saying sorry?" Siwon asked worriedly. "I-I got you into this trouble..." You stuttered and gulped hard as you swallowed an invisible lump that was stuck in your throat. "Ssshhh... It's not your fault, it's my fault, I'm really sorry..." Siwon said as he tucked a lock of hair behind your ear. "Siwon-ah, oppa, it's no body's fault..." You said assuringly. "Let's just forget that this happened, If we feel bad about this, it'll just make them happy." Siwon knew what you meant, but he's still worried about you. He promised that he'd be a lot more careful next time and prayed that this will never happen again. He really was worried to see you like that; so scared and almost wanted to cry.

You couldnt believe that everything happened within just a day, first being at the headline of internet tabloid news with a famous idol, and the next thing you knew youre being hated by his fans. Yes, it is going to be difficult, you knew it. But whenever you knew that Siwon is there for you, somehow everything just felt right, you felt protected. Not to mention his protective brothers, who has been texting you and checking up on you since this afternoon right after learning what happened at your photography class. You just texted them back to thank them and that youre okay and they didnt need to worry. You didnt know that within just a few weeks your life would turn like this. It felt like youre in some roller coaster ride, its crazy but thats why its called a ride; and it is to enjoy it, in spite of the risks. You sighed and smiled at the thought of it while unwinding on your beloved roof deck with your telescope. You peeked on your telescope and smiled at how beautiful the stars are. Its been a while since you did this alone; it was really peaceful and relaxing, but it made you feel like youre also missing someone. You pouted thinking that that someone is busy at the moment. You pouted more after realizing that you only have three more days for your photography class. I told you youre prettier when you smile, so why pout? You heard someone say. Youre eyes grew wide when you saw that it was the someone you were thinking about just now. I got us something You couldnt help but smile at the sight of Siwon holding a pint of icecream and two spoons. Hi! You said with a smile, a very obvious thing saying that youre happy to see him; which is true. What are you doing here? You asked as Siwon approached you. Well, I learned that when youre feeling down, you should eat something sweet or chocolatey. So I bought us this Siwon said as he handed you a spoon and then took of the lid of the ice cream. Gomawo But I'm fine now... You assured him for the nth time. Where you still upset with what happened earlier? I was upset because they were hurting you

You smiled at him. You shouldnt be upset, Im okay, Im just really afraid of cockroaches. If it were rats I might get shock at first but I could laugh at it next. But with cockroaches, oh no sir You said as you shook your head. Well that explains what happened earlier You chuckled. But you see, you really shouldnt feel upset because of what happened. Instead, you should look at it the bright side. Your fans react like that because thats how much they love you. In a way, they only did that because they love you But Im also hurting because theyre hurting you and thats why I wanted to protect you Siwon-ah, dont get me wrong butI dont really expect you to always be there 24/7 or be a knight in shining armor for me. You also have a life and career to take care too But youre also a part of my life now Siwon cut you off, but said it sincerely. Yes, what he said was a bit cheesy for your taste but then it was also flattering. Let me finish As long as I know youre there, Ill stay You said sincerely. It didn't took a while before a a pair of arms were wrapped around you. It was the most comforting embrace you've ever received from a guy and couldn't help but return the sweet gesture. Today's Thursday, you didn't know why but there was a heavy feeling inside of you ever since you woke up. Since Siwon left late yesterday night, you've been wondering when will that special feeling will happen again, knowing that his schedule will be full and packed on the next coming days, weeks and months after this week. You hated this feeling, a few weeks ago, you were this nobody who doesn't have to worry about relationship stuff. But now you're this infamous person who's being hunted down by fangirls because of allegedly dating the famous Super Junior Choi Siwon. You then forced yourself to get up from your bed went to the bathroom to do your morning routine. *Ugh!* You muttered to yourself. Apparently, it's the time of the month and that's why you're feeling this way, mood swings had gotten the best of you. You puffed out your cheeks and and sighed. *Hwaiting!* You said in front of the mirror while throwing a punch in the air to encourage yourself. You weren't really in the mood to dress up so you got some decent clothes out of your closet to wear. You then decided to go to your favorite coffee shop to order a really chocolatey drink to somehow uplift your mood. Just as you were exiting your apartment, you found a familiar statuesque figure who was about to press your doorbell when you opened it. A warm dimpled smile welcomed you. In an instant and for the first time since you wake up, a smile crept out on your face. It was like what you exactly needed. "What are you doing here?" You asked Siwon whose smile never left his face. "I wanted to have breakfast with my Honey..." Siwon said with a slight smirk. "But I thought we're keeping it low-key?" "That's why I got us these..." Siwon said as he showed you a packed lunch box. "And these are for you..." He raised another hand with a bouquet of white roses. Yes, your a girl and flowers could make you flatter and not to mention, you're also hormonal today. Your mouth gaped with his little surprise and covered it with your hand. It's been a while since you've been treated like this. In an instant your mood lighten up with his presence. Just when you're about to finish your food that he prepared for you both, you couldn't help but stare at him. Studying his perfectly chiseled face, adoring his long lashes and at the same time thinking of how you both ended up being like this. "What?" Siwon asked when he noticed that you were staring at him. "Is there something wrong with

my face?" He asked making your scrambled thoughts back to reality. You shook your head to keep your thoughts away. "No, there's nothing wrong with your face, it's perfect..." You unconsciously babbled out your thoughts that earned a chuckle from Siwon. "I-I mean..." You tried to take it back but nothing came out and couldn't help but blush instead."Thank you..." Siwon said with a smile and continued to eat. You looked at him again. You have to admit that you always like his presence, even just having a simple meal like this. You pouted at the thought of that this day is the second to the last of your photography classes with him. "Will we still be like this? After this week? When you get back to your real schedules?" You suddenly asked, out of the blue. "Why? Will you miss me?" Siwon teased with a cocky tone while looking down on his food. "Yes." You answered honestly, eyes fixed to him. Siwon sensed that you answered him seriously and looked up to you. He was actually taken aback with your honest answer; he was really happy to hear your answer and a wide smile crept up on his lips. You misunderstood his reaction, you thought that he was making fun of you. You frowned at him, again hormones is overpowering you. "Aish..." You muttered and rolled your eyes off of him. "Wae? What did I do?" Siwon asked as he got confused with your sudden change of mood. "Why so grumpy?" "Eat up and don't mind me..." You said as you stuffed his mouth with a spoonful of fried rice. Siwon's eyebrows creased as he studied your sudden change of mood with his mouthful of rice. His cheeks almost puffed out with the amount you fed him. He chewed the food carefully as he observed your actions. He swallowed the food down and drank water when an idea popped on his mind that made him grin. "I know now..." He said and you looked at him. "Is it the time of the month?" You couldn't help but blush with his right guess on why are you being like that. You looked down to your food and bit your lower lip. "I know something that could make you feel better..." Siwon said and reached for his bag. He took out a small jar of Maltesers chocolates; he opened the lid and took a piece. "Open wide~~~" Siwon sang as he propped the candy on your lips. You tried to suppress a chuckle but did what you were told. "How did you know?" I have a sister, just in case you don't know. And I read from somewhere that chocolates helps to lighten up a mood..." Siwon explained. "Gomawo..." You mumbled.Siwon smiled warmly at you and held your hand. "About your question a while ago. I have to be honest that I'll be very busy after this week. But here's a promise, I'll make sure to make time with you no matter how busy I am..." "I'm sorry..." You said, full of guilt. "Gwenchana..." Siwon said and kissed your temple. Just then, your phone rang and registered your high school friend's name and number. You excused yourself to take the phone call. Your friend called you to invite you and Jihyo tonight for her birthday dinner and some game of bowling. Since you haven't seen your high school friends for a quite some time now, you gladly agreed. She also mentioned that you could bring your dates with you. But since you and Siwon are keeping it low-key, you just brushed off that idea and since you knew that Jihyo won't bring anyone as a date, you opted to be each other's date. ~~~~~~~~~~~~

Right after classes, you and Siwon went back to your apartment to arrange your final project portfolio for your last class tomorrow. But you still do not know Siwon's concept for your theme. He kept on saying that it was a secret and hides his work and camera for you. You just decided then to let him be and go on with your own project after bickering with each other like kids for some time. A little later you started to prepare yourself for your friend's birthday dinner. You took some nice and comfortable clothes from your closet and took a shower. While Siwon stayed in your living room while watching some TV show. When you went out of your room, Siwon looked at you from head to foot; he was actually stunned on how pretty you looked like."A-are you going out on a date behind my back?" Siwon asked with an arched eyebrow. "Why do you have to be so pretty?" "Yeah, and it's a girl. I actually live with her..." You replied sarcastically with a chuckle and sat on the sofa beside him. "What if Jihyo, already has a date for tonight?" Siwon asked with a slight pout. "Well I don't mind being a wall flower of the night... Besides my friends knew that I don't really bring dates with me every time we go out." You explained. "I wish I could go with you at the party..." Siwon pouted. *I do to...* You mentally replied. "But we're keeping it low-key and we don't want to risk anything right?" Siwon nodded, understanding the situation. "Well then, let me drive you to your meeting place..." You then smiled and felt flattered and of course nodded yes.

Wearing a cap and shades at night, Siwon parked his car in front of a commercial building, where you and your friends will meet and play bowling. You got surprised when Siwon went out of his car really quick and opened the door for you. "This isn't really low-key, you know..." You said as you took his hand and got out of the car. "It's okay, it's a week day so not much people will go out tonight..." Siwon smirked and you just sighed in return with a bit of glare. "Okay, okay... I'll just stay in the car then, and then I'll leave when your friends arrive." You just sighed again and nodded in agreement. Siwon then went back to his car and you waited for your friends at the building's entrance. You really and actually wanted Siwon to be your date, but then you both couldn't risk his image and your privacy. "_____-ah!" You heard someone called you. You turned around and found Jihyo, approaching you... with a guy beside her. Your jaw dropped as you knew that she has a date for tonight. You tried to smile as they got near you. "Hi..." you awkwardly greeted them with a little wave. "_____-ah, I want you to meet Dongwan, I work wit him at the events..." Jihyo introduced you to her date while grinning from ear to ear. "It's nice to finally meet you _____-ah, Jihyo has been talking great things about you... I'm Shin Dongwan." He said and offered a handshake. "Hi, _____-imnida, I'm Jihyo's bestfriend..." You said as you took his handshake. You then turned to Jihyo. "You never told me that you were bringing a date..." You said and tried to smile. "Is Siwon not coming?" Jihyo asked.You glared at Jihyo for saying Siwon's name a bit out loud. "You knew our situation, right?" you said, gritting your teeth.

Jihyo pouted. "Mianhe, I thought he's going with you, that's why I asked Dongwan to go with me. I just don't want to be left alone tonight." "Ara, gwenchana..." You said and gave a faint smile. A little later your friends arrived, and was surprised to see that they all have their partners and dates with them. You couldn't help but sulk deep inside; you had to keep it, knowing that Siwon is watching your from his car. Again, your hormones are getting the best of you. *Oh great! Why does it have to be my red letter day today?* You tried your best to smile as your friends approach you and Jihyo. "Happy birthday Eunmi!" You greeted your friend and gave her a friendly hug. "Thank you _____-ah!" Eunmi said as you both released from the hug. "Oh my gosh, you really looked pretty! It's been a while since the last time I saw you." "Thanks, you really looked good too..." You complemented back. "Aigoo, I knew it! I knew you wouldn't bring a date with you..." She said with a slight pout. You then gave an awkward chuckle in return. "Eunmi-ah, don't worry _____-ah is dating someone right now. He just can't go with us tonight because of his schedules..." Jihyo butted in. "Schedules? Is he an idol or something?" Joori, your know-it-all-friend butted in too. "..." You couldn't come up with any answer to them. "Anyways, since you don't have a date tonight, I want you to meet Jongmin." Eunmi gestured you to a tall fair skinned guy. You wanted to protest but that would be rude. "He is a cousin of my boyfriend. He's also a Fine Arts graduate but Majored in Painting. So Jongmin, this is _____-ah..." "Hi! Nice to meet you, I've heard many good things about you. Song Jongmin-imnida..." He introduced himself and offered his hand for a handshake."_____-imnida..." You said with an awkward smile and kind of hesitant took his handshake. You knew Siwon is watching you from his car, and even though you both aren't officially together, it really felt uncomfortable to be on a 'date' with someone else. You looked at Jihyo, mentally begging for her help as you noticed that Jongmin is still shaking your hands with him and still haven't released it. "Hi Jongjin!" Jihyo butted in as she grabbed your hand from his. "I'm _____-ah's best friend, I gotta warn you though, my best friend is already dating someone else -a taekwondo black belter to be exactso don't get too attached. Arasso?" "Jihyo-ah, it's just a friendly date, no strings attached..." Joori said that made Jihyo's eyebrow arch for being annoyed. "Uhm, why don't we just go inside now?" You said before a commotion between Jihyo and Joori could start. "Yeah, let's go..." Eunmi agreed with you. "_____-ah!" A familiar voice called you. And just when you turned around, your eyes buldged, your mouth hung open in surprise. "Honey, I'm sorry I'm late..."Siwon watched you from his car as Jihyo introduced you to her date. He pouted at the thought that he also wanted to be there by your side and be your date that you can introduce to your friends. As much as he wanted to tell the whole world how much he feels for you, he just can't easily risk his band's image and your own privacy. After what happened yesterday, Siwon wanted to protect you more. He watched you as you felt a bit stressed when you knew that Jihyo had brought a date with her for tonight.

A little later, he saw that your friends had arrived. A tall, fair skinned guy caught Siwon's attention who has been looking at you dearingly. Siwon tipped down his sunglasses as he saw you being introduced to the same guy by one of your friends. He was thankful that Jihyo grabbed your hand from the probing rival. Siwon then got out of his car when he saw that you were being uncomfortable with the situation and without hesitation, he started to approach your group. "_____-ah!" Siwon called out. As you turned around, hearing a very familiar voice, your eyes bulged out and your mouth fell hung open to see Siwon approach you with his signature dimpled smile. "Honey, I'm sorry I'm late..." He said as his arm rested securely on your shoulders. Your friends too were so star struck and surprised, especially when he placed an arm around your shoulders. Even your best friend Jihyo was so surprised even though she knew what kind of relationship you and Siwon has. "What are you doing? What are you doing here?" You asked with eyes wide as big as saucers. Siwon chuckled. "I'm here to accompany you..." he said with a smirk. Siwon noticed that your friends were looking at you both; he actually wanted you to introduce him to your friends. But then he noticed that you were too stunned to do that. "Annyeonghaseo, I'm Choi Siwon..." Siwon said politely to your friends with a slight bow. Your friends greeted him back, stuttering; they were obviously star strucked. "Y-you're the mystery guy who's dating _____-ah?" Joori stuttered. "Yes, it is I..." Siwon replied straight forwardly. Your friends eyed the both of you with surprised expression written all over their faces. You were actually having mixed emotions, you felt happy because Siwon made a bold move to introduce you to the world, but at the same time you were so worried about his image and his band's image. You then gulped hard to clear the invisible lump that was stuck in your throat. "Guys, maybe we should go inside now..." You suggested and managed to say. "Don't worry, if anything happens, my manager is just around the corner..." Siwon whispered to you as he felt how worried you were about the situation. He gave you an assuring smile that made you calm down. You were glad that Siwon was there, like an ordinary person mingling with your friends and what not. You then just tried to enjoy the night and his presence in a situation like this. Siwon too was really glad that he did that move. It somehow felt like a breath of fresh air for him; just enjoying a night out with new friends and the girl he loves, which he rarely do. Siwon always felt comfortable and free whenever you're around with him. It's not that he doesn't like his career, he actually loves it, but when you came to his life, you added more flavor to it. He found a comfort zone in you in spite of the hustle and bustle of his limelight. "_____-ah, why didn't you tell us that you and Siwon-sshi are dating?" Eunmi asked. "I thought you were dating the model you were with in a magazine?" Joori asked Siwon. "We're just good friends. That's just a photo shoot, we just have to act like a couple in front of the camera and that doesn't mean we're already going out..." Siwon answered casually, like how he answer during his TV show interviews. "How did you guys even meet?" Joori asked. "_____-ah, isn't the type of girl who would go on dates easily..." "..." Your mouth gaped but nothing came out. You were actually taken aback with your friends' sudden interrogations. "Well, we're classmates in a photography class and that's where we met..." Siwon answered for you. "_____-ah, aren't you lucky?" Eunmi squealed and just gave them a faint laugh in return. You're really

not used to being like this, being the center of attention of your friends. You felt a light pat on your shoulder and when you looked over, it was your best friend Jihyo; giving you an assuring smile. Your friends asked more questions about you and Siwon, which he answered mostly for you. You looked at the bowling alley, then at the LCD screen and saw that it was already your turn. "Oh look, it's our turn!" You exclaimed and dragged Siwon to the bowling alley to save him from your friends' questions. Siwon made some quick excuses as you drag him to the bowling lane. You then grabbed a ball and prayed that the ball won't go down the drain. You then breathed out and positioned yourself to throw the ball, you're not a pro-bowler so you were quite nervous to do this, especially that you're with someone right now. "It's okay honey you can do it!" Siwon cheered for you. You tried to suppress a chuckle and released the ball, straight to the pins. You closed your eyes as the ball roll off to the pins and crossed your fingers until you heard pins being ran down. "Strike!" Siwon yelledYou open your eyes and bulged out as big as saucers. It really was a strike. Siwon, out of excitement, ran to you and the next thing you knew, Siwon was hugging you as if you won the championships. You got conscious with Siwon's sudden gesture. "O-oppa, we're in public..." You managed to say. "Ah, mianhe. I-I just got carried away..." Siwon said.

*W-wait, is he blushing?* You thought as you spotted a pinkish glow on his cheeks. *Why does he have to be so cute when he blushes?*
"Aigoo, you guys are so cute!" Eunmi squealed. You smiled awkwardly at your friends and a hint of blush is also visible in your cheek. You immediately went back to your seat and Siwon followed you. Joori and her date then stood up for their turn to bowl. You looked at Siwon who was watching your friends bowl. He then noticed that you were looking at him. "Yes honey?" Siwon asked. You instantly blushed when he called you with his pet name for you. You suddenly wondered when are you going to get use to this. "I-I just wanted to thank you for going out with me tonight with my friends... and in public." You said. Siwon smiled dearly at you. "You know you're always welcome..." "I just wonder, what made you come out like this?" "Well, I just can't let anyone be your date if it isn't me..." Siwon said. You looked at Jongmin who was sitting far from both of you. You suddenly felt guilty for him because he ended up dateless tonight. "And I also wanted to hangout with you like this..." Siwon continued. "But I'm still worried though..." You said as you tried to return his smile. Siwon didn't give you any reply, instead he just gave you an assuring smile before taking your hand and kiss it. It really was a fun night for all of you, well especially for you. The feeling's as if you're in high school and you're out with your friends in a group date and your high school crush is your partner. Not to mention your inner fangirl is giggling none stop inside you. It was already getting late and you guys now are about to leave the building. Siwon was holding your hand while following your friends to exit the building. You guys were about to bid each other your goodbyes whena small group of reporters -about 3 to 5- suddenly showed up, and the next thing you knew, you were behind Siwon, together with your friends and surrounded by cameras. "Siwon, is she the girl you're dating?" A reporter suddenly asked which made Siwon release your hand from his."Miss, can we have your name?" Another reporter asked, beside him was a cameraman who

was taking a picture of your face. As much as you loved cameras and all the jazz it had, this is the reason to hate it. You quickly hid your face with your hands and had your head low as you felt the camera focused on you. In your surprise, someone placed a baseball cap on your head. When you looked out, it was Jongmin. Suddenly, Siwon's manager appeared to the little scene. "Siwon-ah, gwenchana?" His manager asked him as he covered for him. Siwon gave his manager a curt nod in response. "Just give them a brief answer and we'll leave ASAP..." The manager whispered to Siwon. "If you may, can we settle down and give some personal space to Mr. Choi so he may answer some of your questions..." The manager said to the reporters. You and your friends stayed behind Siwon as the reporters did what they were told. You didn't know why but you were feeling scared at this time. You don't know why you felt sudden emptiness when Siwon released your hand. Right at that moment, even though Siwon was just a foot away from you, he somehow felt distant. You suddenly wanted to feel his comforting warmth around you at that moment. "So are you guys dating?" A reporter started to question again. Siwon thought hard before answering the question. First of all, he thought about you. Siwon thought that you might be scared and nervous right now, this is a first for you and you're not used to this kind of environment. To add on it was your safety from the probing haters if this issue comes out. Second, he thought about his members, how will this issue affect the whole group. He mentally noted that after this, he would apologize to the members, to the president and of course you. Siwon wanted to protect you and his having a hard time to answer the question that was thrown at him. At the same time, he has to act cool and calm so that the reporters won't suspect anything. "A-ani..." Siwon hesitantly and managed to say. "We're not dating..." With that your mouth gaped and your heart sank. *Ouch...* Those words were like knives stabbed on your chest. *He denied me...* You started to look away from everything and gulped the invisible lump that was stuck on your throat to prevent yourself from tearing up. "Then care to explain this Mr. Choi?" A reporter said and showed his camera, where-in he recorded earlier, how Siwon hugged you when you hit a strike. "That was just a congratulatory hug. We're just hanging out as friends, that's all." Siwon casually and cooly replied. You watched Siwon as he answer the reporters' questions comfortably and denying everything that's been going on between you two. *So was everything that happened to us this passed few days were just pretend? Was everything a lie? If everything is a lie then I am just the stupid-est thing ever. Just when my feelings are starting to get stronger for him then this happens. Pabo _____!* You told yourself angrily. You were so into your thoughts that you didn't notice that you're now being question by the reporters. If Jihyo didn't nudge you, you wouldn't notice it. "I-I'm sorry what was it?" You asked, confused. "Is it true that you and Siwon are not dating?" A reporter asked. You looked at Siwon before answering the question and saw him in a comfortable and cool state, really distant. "It's true, we're not dating..." You managed to quickly say before your voice could crack. You gulped hard again to prevent yourself from crying. "Okay, so everything's clear now, Siwon has to leave now, thank you!" The manager announced and immediately escorted him to his car, leaving you and your friends behind. You watched Siwon and his manager leave the scene, the reporters followed them and not caring about you anymore. You hung

your head low as you were so embarrassed and ashamed of your friends to look at them, you were afraid to see them shamefully looking at you. But what hurt you the most is a word from one of the reporters before leaving you. "What a shame..." he said as he shook his head and was looking at your direction. It made you wanted to cry because of shame. "_____-ah, whatever happened just now?!" Joori suddenly started to interrogate you. "I thought you guys were real? Why did he denied you? What was that?" "Joori!" Eunmi exclaimed, preventing Joori to question you more. You just looked at them with nothing but a blank expression in your face. You didn't know how to answer Joori. You thought that Joori was right; what justhappened out there? "N-no, it's okay. Joori's right..." You managed to say, still with your head hanging low. "_____-ah, no you're not okay..." Eunmi said, comforting you. "Jongmin-ah, will you drive them home please?" "Sure..." Jongmin said. "Eunmi-ah, I'm sorry your birthday ended up like this, but thank you..." You said. "No worries _____-ah..." Eunmi said as she patted your head. "Kaja ____-ah. There are two guys who are waiting for us back home..." Jihyo said, cheering you up. You looked at her confused. "Ben & Jerry's! C'mon, they're really good for the heart..." You gave your best friend a faint laugh with her attempt to cheer you up.

"Stupid hormones! Stupid brain! Stupid heart!" You exclaimed like a drunk while laying in the carpet with your best friend Jihyo "Good thing I'm officially in love with two men now... Ah Ben & Jerry..." You said as you took a spoonful of Chocolate Fudge Brownie ice cream straight from the tub. "I told you, they're better..." Jihyo chuckled. "But seriously, thank you Jihyo-ah..." You said as you sat up. "No worries..." Jihyo said. Your phone which has been on silent mode since you arrived at your house buzzed from the nth time. "Your phone's buzzing again..." "I already told them I'm okay..." You said; you're actually pertaining to the other SJ members, they've been texting you none-stop since the internet blew the news few minutes after the incident. You only give them an "I'm okay..." reply from their text messages. Yes, all of them texted you, except from the one person whom you're hoping to check you. You sighed and shook your head in disappointment. "So I'll go ahead..." You said and got up on your feet. "Where are you going?" Jihyo asked. You gave a faint laugh. "You know where to find me..." You said. Jihyo already knew where you're heading as you got up and went straight to your room to get something. When you got out, you have your telescope bag with you and went to your private roof top again. *Its been a while...* You said right after setting up your telescope. It's true, it's been a while since you've went up on your precious rooftop. You looked at the cold night sky, the stars seemed so distant tonight, like the person who used to be here with you these passed few days. You bit the insides of your cheeks to restrain yourself, but your eyes betrayed you and tears started to fall. For the first time in the longest time, you cried again because of heartbreak. This time you felt like you're helpless. The

only person you thought that would stand up for you denied you, and to top it all, it was in front of your friends and strangers who would judge you the way they would want you to be. Right now, you dread the owner of the dimpled smile that used to warm your heart. *Ugh, why am I acting like this? We're not even officially together...* You told yourself and more tears flowed. Suddenly the roof top door screeched open and when you looked over it was the last person you wanted to see at the moment, followed by a frantic Jihyo. You immediately wiped your tears with the back of your hands. "No one's allowed in here..." You said. "I'm sorry _____, but he's really pushy..." Jihyo said as she gave a death glare to Siwon. "Siwon-ah, maybe you should just leave..." "Not until I talk to _____. Please..." Siwon begged. "Okay, talk then." You demanded. "I'm sorry..." Was everything that Siwon could manage to say. His gaze was down to his feet, it's as if he did something so wrong. You were actually waiting for him to continue and explain what just happened, but nothing came out after that. He doesn't know where to start, he couldn't stand to see your eyes all read from crying because of his fault. "That's it?" You broke the silence after some time. "I just became a laughing stock in front of my friends and all that you can say is that you're sorry?" Your voice cracked and your eyes betrayed you again as tears started to fall. You wiped your tears with the back of your hands and breathed a good amount of air, trying to compose and calm yourself. "I already told you that I didn't expect you to be there with me 24/7, I don't care about your fame or your riches. But I would need someone to stand up for me... You didn't even bothered to call or check up on me after everything..." You said as you shook your head. "My phone ran out of battery, I'm sorry." Siwon said as he ruffled his own hair in frustration. "_____-ah, I was just trying to protect you..." Siwon managed to say as his voice started to crack and tears suddenly started to fall. "Protect me? By denying me in front of my friends?" You wiped another set of tears again. "Oh yeah, that reminds me, we aren't really officially together. Yeah, you're right, we're just friends. But friends do not kiss, do not hug and doesn't give sweet pet names for each other. So what was that? Was that just a pretend? Was I like all the other girls that has been linked to you? Like the girls you casually denied dating, was I one of them? You don't know how it feels to be denied by someone and be given shameful looks by the people surrounding you. You didn't know how they looked at me after you left. So why don't you just casually leave like what you did to me a while ago and go back to your splendid life as I pick up what's left of me..." "But _____-ah, please let me explain..." Siwon begged as tears streamed down on his perfectly chiseled face. "Don't make this harder than it is. It's hurting me so much. Please just go..." You said weakly as you clutched your chest. You were already having hard time to breathe because of crying. Siwon then gave a curt nod and slowly left the building. It was also hurtful for him, he didn't get to explain his side. But then when he had the chance to explain he was already tongue tied because he already saw you crying, and that made him weak. He was ready to apologize and explain, but it was too much for him to see you affected like that, it hurt him more to see you hurt and ended up speechless. When Siwon finally left, that's when you really broke down in tears. Jihyo ran to you and stroked your back, trying to calm you down. Yes, you both are unofficially together, but it hurt so much and it's as if you broke up with someone. It was really hard for you to process everything that had happened today.

Earlier of the same day, you were so happy and by the end of the day, the next thing you knew you're crying your heart out because of the same person who made you happy earlier. You started to calm down after some time, you were glad that Jihyo was there for you. *Tomorrow should be better...* You thought to yourself, but thinking that you would probably see Siwon again in your class made your knees weak. *Eottoke?* You woke up the next morning as the sun hit your eyes. You're quite having a hard time opening your eyes as your eyes were puffy from last night's crying. The incident yesterday has been hard on you. You then noticed that you slept on the couch while crying your heart out with your best friend Jihyo yesterday night. You and Jihyo talked about the incident that had happened which made you a lot more confused. "What if you're just over-reacting?" You remembered Jihyo said. "I mean you know guys, they're twisted and all but sometimes they have a point why they do such twisted things. Sometimes they have to do do things to protect their loved ones." You sighed deeply and pressed your temples as your head started to ache. Remembering yesterday's incident was almost a blur to you now which made you a lot more confused. *What if Jihyo's right? Argh, I hate being hormonal and being too emotional at the same time!* You muttered to yourself as you continue to press your temples. It was already 8:00 am and you knew that you're already running late for your last day of photography class. As much as you wanted to skip classes today, you just can't. It's your last day of classes and you have to pass your final project that is also due today and your professor will choose the 3 pairs who are going to join him on his one man show exhibit. You really wanted to look nice today so that people won't notice that you're affected after all. So you took out a nice dress from your closet, some flat shoes and accessories to go with your outfit. You really don't care if you're already running late for your class so you took your time to prepare and have breakfast. You were'nt really excited to go to you're last day of you're photography class today. If only your final project isn't due today you wouldn't really bother. As you got out of your apartment and went to you car, you suddenly noticed that one of your tires were flat. *Great, just when I decided to wear some dress...* You muttered to yourself. You sighed in frustration. "Can I help you?" An unfamiliar voice said. "J-Jongmin-sshi, Jongmin right?" You asked. "Yeah..." Jongmin said with a smile. "I see you had a flat tire. May I help?" "Uhm, if it isn't so much of a hassle. I could really use a hand..." You sighed. "It's okay, so where's the toolbox?" He asked. You then opened the back compartment of your car and took the heavy tool box with Jongmin's help. He then took out the necessary tools he needed to change your tire. He then squatted in front of the flat tire and fixed it. "Really, thank you Jongmin-sshi." You said as Jongmin finished fixing your tires. "No worries..." He said and flashed a smile. "Uhm, I beleive I haven't thanked you for bringing me and Jihyo home yesterday. I'm also sorry for making a scene yesterday..." You said. "It's okay, it's not your fault. I'm actually worried about you..."Jongmin shamelessly said. You really didn't know how to reply with his remark and just gave him faint smile. "D-do you live around the area?" You asked to break the awkwardness.

"Ah, yeah. I live by the end of the street..." He said. "Are you going somewhere? Maybe I could drop you off..." You offered in repay of his kindness. "I'm just going to grab some groceries at downtown. But I have an idea, I'll just drive you to your school then I can walk from there..." Jongmin suggested. "Are you sure?" "Yeah..." He said with a nod. "Arasso. Kaja, I'm kind of already late..."

*Aish, where is she?* Siwon muttered to himself while sitting on your usual seats in photography class. He was still afraid and nervous to see you today though, but he needs to know if you're okay. Siwon didn't get enough sleep last night and he looked like he was in a bad shape; like wasted bad shape, even though he didn't drink. He has been thinking of you and your tear stricken eyes from last night. It was your eyes that got him hooked to you, and it made him really weak to see those chinky but big beautiful eyes filled with tears because of him. He already told himself that he will never cease to apologize to you until you've forgiven him. He lost his train of thought when the instructor came in the classroom. *_____-ah where are you?* Siwon again muttered worriedly. "Everybody ready with the final projects?" The instructor asked the class. Everybody said yes, except for Siwon who looked out the door expectantly. "I'll be checking and calling you by pairs and defend your project to me, arasso? Then I'll announce the highest pointers afterwhich. Good luck!" "Sonsaengnim, may I go out? I just have to make an important phone call..." Siwon asked politely, as he interrupted the class. "Ah, sure. But make it quick, we're going to start..." The instructor said. "Ne, gomawo..." Siwon said and bowed politely before leaving the room. He stood by the window of the hallway, looking out for you on the street, but there were no signs of you. He then fished his phone from his pocket and dialed your number. When he was about to press the call button, he noticed your car parking in front of the building. He sighed in relief after seeing your car, but his eyebrows creased when he saw you got out of the front passenger seat and the familiar tall fair skinned guy who drove your car and got out from the driver's seat. But after all, he adored how pretty you are right now, even though your eyes are still kind of puffy.

"Gomawo, Jongmin-sshi..." You said and gave a slight bow. "You're welcome, but can we drop formalities now?" He said. "Ah a-arasso, Jongmin-ah..." You said with a slight smile. Suddenly a strong wind blew, you immediately held your skirt down to prevent it from flying of but something got caught in your eyes. "Ow!" You said as you tried to blink away the dirt in your eyes. "What's wrong?" Jongmin asked worriedly. "Nothing, just something in my eyes..." You said as you raise your hand to your eyes and scratch it.

"Oh no, don't scratch it!" Jongmin said as he took your hand right on time. You were actually taken aback by his sudden action and froze up to where you were standing. Jongmin gently held your chin and leaned closer to you. You suddenly noticed that his lips were just inches away from your face as he leaned closer; his lips then stopped on your eye and gently blew it. "All better now?" He asked. "Y-yeah..." You stuttered. "So, I gotta go, you're running late. Here are your car keys..." Jongmin said as he handed you your car keys. "Ah, th-thanks again..." You stuttered as you grabbed your keys from him and went straight to the building without even saying goodbye. You almost run to your classroom, never forgetting that you were wearing a dress. Little did you know, some one is watching you. As you brisk walk to your classroom, you noticed a familiar statuesque figure, looking out the window by the hallway. Your heart pounded the moment he faced you. He stared at you blankly, but sadness was evident in his eyes. You knew that he must've seen the little incident a while ago. You wanted to explain to him that it was just an accident but instead of doing so, you adjusted your backpack on your shoulders and looked down on the ground and started to walk to your classroom door. You sat on your usual chair and Siwon did as well. You really felt guilty after deciding to dress up nicely today as you see him in a somewhat bad shape. You thought that your were being unreasonable for thinking this way. But whenever you think and remember the shameful stares the photographers, you could only feel sorry for yourself. After some time the instructor finally called you and Siwon to his office to present your final project. Your heart pounded because you really wanted to participate in his exhibit, it'll really be a big break for you. And the fact Siwon is your partner and haven't seen his work gave you a lot more pressure. "Memories? A vague concept it may seem, but it surely has deep meaning..." The instructor said as he propped his chin to his hands. "Yeah, we came up with the theme when _____ and I accidentally met in a cemetery. She was visiting her grandfather's grave and I was also visiting my grandmother's. _____ told me a story about how her grandfather influenced her in photography and her memory of him. And so from there, we came up with our theme..." Siwon said. "Great, so can I see your photographs please?" Your professor said and you both did what you were told and handed him your portfolio. You played with your fingers nervously as he studied your portfolio first. He was nodding as he flipped through the pages of your portfolio, you didn't know if it was a satisfied nod or what and it made you a lot more nervous. He then took Siwon's portfolio right after and studied his pictures. Like what your professor did to your pictures, he gave a nod as he studied Siwon's photographs. The professor's eyebrows suddenly creased and looked closer at Siwon's photo's. "I-isn't this Ms. _____-ah?" The professor said and looked at Siwon, then to you, then to Siwon again. "Ne, sonsaengnim..." Siwon said confidently. Your eyes widen with what Siwon just said and looked at Siwon. "I used _____ as a subject of my concept. I want to thank you, sir, for this project. I got to know a really awesome and person in her and I want to keep her as a good memory..." Siwon continued. Your eyes started to well up but blinked it out before it could fall. The professor smirked at both of you. "You guys actually looked good together the moment I saw you sitting together during the first day of this classes..." he remarked. "I must say your pair has really good photographs, you must've inspired each other..."

"Kamsahamnida sonsaengnim..." Siwon said politely when you could only respond with a bow. It's true and you have to admit that Siwon inspired you, he encouraged you with the photos you took and what not. Somehow you suddenly felt guilty for giving an unreasonable fit with him last night. You hated your hormones for getting too emotional yesterday; you tend to be cranky and grumpy whenever the time of the month comes. Right at that moment, you wanted to talk to Siwon to somehow apologize to him. *But right after this what happens next? Aigoo, what am I going to do?* You asked yourself as you face palm and propped your hands on your usual table of your classroom while waiting for your professor's results. If you would make-up with Siwon, are you ready to be the unknown and kept girlfriend? If anything happens, are you prepared for this? You know you can and you will, as long as Siwon stays by yourside. Well that is if he takes you back... "You did great, don't worry..." A familiar voice whispered right next to you. You looked at the statuesque figure beside you and bit your lip. *If you only knew that I was thinking about you...* You told yourself. "Thanks, you did too..." You managed to say after gulping the lump on your throat. Suddenly, the classroom door opened and your professor entered with a paper in hand. "Here are the results!" Your professor announced. Your heart pounded out of your chest and you started to play with your fingers nervously again. "I'll announce the three pairs in no particular order, so here it goes... Kang Mina & Shin Jisun..." The professor announced the first pair and earned their encouragements for the others. "Lee Chungho & Park Junghee..." The professor continued and announced the second pair which made you a lot nervous because there's only one pair left. "Last, but not the least, Choi Siwon and ____ ____! Congratulations and I'll see you again soon!" The professor said and left the room. Everyone is congratulating everyone for a job well done while you were left stuck up and left your mouth hanging open. "Congratulations _____-ah!" one of your colleagues congratulated you as she shook your shoulders to wake you up from your trance. "T-thank you..." You stuttered and thanking everyone who congratulated you. You looked at Siwon who has been looking at you with his signature smile. "Congrats!" You said genuinely with a smile. "Congratulations!" Siwon said, still with his signature smile. Siwon sighed, pursed his lips and got closer to you. "Can we talk? Please?" You were actually taken aback by his sudden request. You gave a small smile and nodded yes as a response. You both got out of your classroom and went to the hallway end. You rest your back to the wall and Siwon did the same to the wall opposite you. "You... you looked really pretty today..." Siwon said with his head hanging low. "Thank you..." You said quietly. Silence finally engulfed the two of you. Like yesterday, you waited for him to say something. You looked down to your shoes as you got sad on how awkward the two of you are. But just like yesterday, Siwon had gone weak whenever he sees sadness in your eyes. "I'm sorry." Siwon finally said, breaking the silence. "I-I just want you to know that I'm never gonna stop saying I'm sorry, for all possible reasons... I-I still wanted to continue what we have started, I miss you and I love you. It's up to you if you would take me back or what. But I have to warn you and you

must understand, you should know that I'm often out of the country, sometimes you'll feel alone and I won't be physically there for you. I won't be able to go out with you in public without any disguise or else the media would feast on us..." Siwon trailed of but tried to compose himself back. "I-I saw you with Jongmin a while ago, please don't choose him. But all I can promise you that my heart will always be with you, if you take me back." Siwon said straightforwardly. You felt your heart tightened with his words; it somehow felt like it's going to explode anytime. Your tongue got tied and you couldn't say anything at all. "I'll be going to Thailand and Taiwan for few days, I still don't know if I could make it to sonsaengnim's exhibit, I'm sorry." Siwon said. Still, you couldn't utter any word. Siwon then got on his feet. "I'll wait for your answer but please don't keep me waiting for too long." He said and with that Siwon left. You looked at yourself on the mirror for the nth time. Tonight is one of the most special day as an artist/photographer. Your photo will be seen in an exhibit of works of your sonsaeng-nim. It's nerve wracking with the fact that prestigious guest photographers and artists will be there. But to top it all, you are also nervous to see Siwon again. The last time you saw him was a week ago during the last day of your photography classes. You let out a deep sigh before looking at the mirror again. *You can do this _____!* You told yourself encouragingly. "_____-ah, are you ready?" Jihyo said as she knocked on your door. "I'll be out in a sec!" You said. You checked again yourself in the mirror and grabbed your purse and keys and went out of your room. "Well look at you... No wonder why Siwon Choi fell for you..." Jihyo said. "Was that a complement?" You asked with a slight frown. "It's a complement..." Jihyo said with a smile. "Thanks for being my date tonight Jihyo-ah..." You said with a slight pout. "You know I always have your back... Kaja! You don't want to be late now..." Jihyo giddily said and grabbed your hand. Your heart has been pounding non-stop since you left your apartment, you even let Jihyo drive because you can't focus. You and Jihyo arrived at the venue just in time. You then saw familiar faces, your coparticipants in the photography class were there, but one is missing. You got back to your senses when Jihyo pushed you to the entrance of the building. Everyone gathered at the exhibit's entrance, a ribbon cutting ceremony will be done before unveiling the exhibited works. Your sonsaeng-nim gave a short speech before cutting the ribbon. Everyone applauded after cutting the ribbon and went inside the exhibit. As you and Jihyo went inside, you walked straight to a panel where your work was hung. You smiled and mentally giving yourself a pat on the back for a job well done. Next to your work is Siwon's, you wondered if Siwon is coming. You mentally hit your head for thinking about him right now. Just as everyone was looking around and appreciating the works, the crowd started to gather again at the entrance. "Siwon is here..." You heard someone say. Your heart skipped a beat after hearing his name. "Omo! It's Kim Heechul!" Someone exclaimed. You turned your head to the exhibit hall's entrance and saw them being almost mobbed by the media and other guests. *He's here...* You told yourself.

"You should smile _____-ah, you looked so constipated..." Jihyo joked. "I-I..." You stuttered and couldn't complete your sentence. Jihyo then dragged you at an almost secluded part of the exhibit. "Do you love Siwon?" Jihyo suddenly asked, even though she already knew the answer. You were actually taken aback by her sudden question. You tried to open your mouth to say something. "Shush it! _____-ah, I know this might sound crazy but I think he's sincere about you..." "Jihyo-ah, you heard him, you were there when he denied me and said that we're just friends and nothing more..." You said, fighting the invisible lump that was blocking your throat. "Yes, I was there. I know, it's really hurtful to be denied of someone. But _____, you didn't even give him a chance to explain his side why he did that..." Jihyo said. You started to feel guilty, Jihyo is right. "I...I'm not asking him to be a knight in shining armor, I just wanted someone who would stand up for me. Is that too much to ask?" You said, as you hold back your tears. Jihyo sighed, she understood what your were trying to say. "Ms. _____, excuse me but the media wanted to have an interview of everyone regarding your photographs..." The usherette interrupted. "I'll be right there..." You replied and composed yourself. "Duty calls..." You told Jihyo and sighed. "Arasso, you'll be great..." Jihyo said with an assuring smile and patted your arm. You returned her smile and followed the usherette. She then ushered you to the panel where your photo was hung. Again your heart skipped a beat to see a statuesque and all princely Siwon, standing in front of the photo. You gulped hard when your eyes met. But you looked away and tried to compose yourself. When all artists were gathered, the interview started. "Can you tell us something about your photo?" The MC asked. Your other colleagues started to take turns and talk about their piece until the mic was passed to you. "As you can see, my piece is a picture of a grandfather's hand and his granddaughter's hand. Our theme, as I have collaborated with Mr. Choi Siwon..." You had to gulp when you said his name. "...is about 'Memories'." You continued. "This is a dedication in memory of my late grandfather who taught me about photography. He's my first mentor and my inspiration to pursue this career. Even if we came from a different generation, we still found something that we could share. And this is my only way to give it back to him and to honor him. Thank you." You finished quickly before your voice could crack and passed the mic to Siwon. He was looking at you with full concern but then you looked away again and tried to compose yourself. Siwon then cleared his throat and started to talk. "Let me tell you a short story in relation to my peice. Three weeks ago, I met this person significantly. What's most significant about that is that we met each other at the wrong foot. We bickered at the smallest and silliest things like kids, she never treated me special like how other person treats an idol specially. But within these three weeks that I spent with her, I get to know her more. I've known what a good heart she has, I've known how free spirited she is. She gave me this feeling to be free; free from the hustle and bustle of being an idol, she brought out the real me, and that's why I loved her so..." Siwon said spontaneously. You looked at him with shocked eyes when you realized he was talking about you. You wanted to stop him but it would just make a commotion. "She once told me that shooting stars come only once in a while, youll never know if itll come back again. That you have to grasp that short moment, cherish it and never let that moment pass without making a wish or a short prayer. Like what Ms. _____ have said, our chosen theme is about 'Memories'. In relation to that, this is the photo of the person I'm talking about..." Siwon said as he gestured his

hands to his piece. "The three weeks I spent with her was like a shooting star to me, but the sad part is that I had let her go, I didn't fight for her. She is my shooting star, my wish, my prayer and this is my memory of her." Siwon finished. You looked away, holding back your tears. You calmed yourself and tried to breathe evenly while your insides are shouting, butterflies are flying and heart was pounding hard. "That's a very beautiful story Siwon-sshi. We wish that everything will get well..." The MC commented. "Let's give everyone a round of applause!" Everyone applauded and took a picture of your group. When the photo-op was done, you rushed out to the back door of the exhibit hall. You breathed heavily, gave out a heavy sigh and groaned. You faced palmed yourself and groaned angrily at yourself, letting out all your frustrations. You stomped your foot hard, not caring even if you were wearing heels at the moment. You were so into your emotions when you heard someone chuckle. You looked over and saw Heechul leaning on the wall with a bottle of beer in hand. "What are you doing here?" You asked him. "I should be asking the same question. It's your event you should be inside, savoring the moment and enjoying the party..." Heechul said with a bit of sarcasm. You rolled your eyes off of him. "You better get back inside. Someone might see you here and spark up some rumor again..." You said and muttered your last sentence. Heechul chuckled. "_____-ah, there's something you need to know..." he said. You then looked at him. "During the interview, Siwon was just trying to protect you..." "Protect me? Protecting me by denying me in front of my friends? Well practically denying me to the whole world..." You retorted and looked away as a tear fell from your eyes. You immediately wiped it with the back of your hands. "_____-ah, listen. Siwon did deny you, it's true, and I know it's hurtful, but that was to protect you from the sasaeng fans..." Heechul continued. You looked at him again, but this time with confused expression on your face. "Remember the last time you both were in a coffee shop having breakfast and someone poured you some iced tea?" Heechul asked and you nodded yes in response. "It wasn't an accident, a sasaeng fan paid the waiter to do that to you, because of jealousy. And don't forget the cockroach cookie box from a fan..." Your mouth fell hang open to an O. "Fans can do that?" You asked, still confused. Heechul nodded. "Crazy fans to be exact, don't you read fan accounts? What they did to you was just a sample of what they can do, they can do worst things... Anyways, during the interview Siwon denied you because he doesn't want anyone to hurt you more than what happened to you. At the same time, he's also protecting our image from our fans. You know what, I can't believe I'm about to say this but Siwon has a good heart. And I'm sure what he said there a while ago came from deep inside him." "But he should have at least told me, I'm not that idiot not to understand the situation..." You said, almost mumbling. "Maybe he just doesn't want to scare you off..." Heechul suggested. "And just like what he said earlier, you're his weakness and that's the only way he could protect you." You suddenly felt more guilty right after hearing Heechul's words. Again a tear escaped from your eyes. You wanted to go back there inside and apologize to Siwon, but you can't move your feet from where you're standing. You suddenly felt someone poked your arm, and of course it's Heechul again.

"Hello? Earth to _____?" Heechul cooed. "I-I need to say sorry, I need to apologize to him. I just wanted to tell him that he hasn't lost me, I'm still here. I don't care if media doesn't know my existence, but as long as he's here, I'll be with him. As long as he needed me, I'll be right here..." You rambled and said it without even breathing in between as your heart pounded in our chest. "Whoa, slow down your horses... Siwon's right, you ramble when you're nervous." Heechul said. "You need to calm down, media is scattered inside, don't worry I'll help you..." Heechul said and winked. "When the media leaves, I'm going to make sure that Ma-Si will stay with you guys so that you could talk with him..." Your eyes beamed and smiled widely at Heechul. Everything was well planned by Heechul, he knew that the media will leave most likely before the exhibit hall closes and he was right. All was left in the exhibit hall were the exhibitors, your photography class co-participants and few guests. Heechul then took your camera and move on with his own plan. "Can I ask all the exhibit participants of this exhibit for a group picture?" Heechul announced at the mic. All the participants looked at him weirdly and a bit, including you. You really have now idea with what Heechul was planning, he just said "Leave it to me..." and in spite of knowing that he's full of crazy and random ideas, you still trusted him. You, Siwon, together with the other participants and your sonsaengnim followed what you were told. For some reason and unplanned circumstances, you and Siwon stood beside each other as the non-pro photographer a.k.a. Kim Heechul took your picture. You tried your best to smile even though your heart is pounding. "Beautiful! Okay!" Heechul yelled as he snapped away. "One more! Okay, last one..." Heechul said and took the last shot. "Okay, thank you guys!" He said, the others thanked him and went back to business. You were about to go too but Heechul ran to you and Siwon and slung his arms to both of your shoulders. "Congratulations to you guys!" "Thank you..." You said awkwardly while Siwon smiled at his hyung. "Would you look at this photo..." Heechul said as he showed you and Siwon your camera. It was a picture of you smiling for the camera and Siwon looking at you. "You guys really looked good together, you should talk..." Heechul said in a serious tone. You and Siwon both froze up, scared to decline Heechul's order. "I'll leave you two alone..." He said and went on his way. You sighed and both looked at each other. You both opened your mouth to say something at the same time. "You go ahead..." Siwon said. You shook your head. "No, you go ahead..." "No, you go ahead..." Siwon said. "Uhm, you go first..." "Ladies first..." Siwon said with his hand gestures. You were starting to get irritated with this bickering and stuff. A slight frown started to form on your face. "Okay, since were bickering yet again I'm going to start. I hate you..." You honestly said that made Siwon's eyes grew wide. "I hate your stinkin' guts, you are such a jerk, you think you're some

pretty face and some rich guy who can have anything." You said with all your disgust about him. Your voice was starting to crack and tears started to well up in your eyes. "But as much as I hate you from the first time I met you, that's how I love you right now. I love the way you make me feel I'm special, I love how you take care of me, I love how you look at me, and that's my truth. Now, the speech you gave a while ago, was that the truth or are you just selling some photo or you just wanted to win some Noble Peace prize?" You asked as a tear escaped your eyes. Siwon's gaze at you soften, he smiled at you and cupped your face with his hand to wipe your tears. "I was more like aiming to win your heart... I meant every word _____-ah, I love you." You then smiled, almost jumped to wrapped your arms around his neck to pull him to an embrace and Siwon returned your embrace lovingly. Everyone heard what you both said and clapped at the both of you in an awe. Heechul joined as they clapped for both of you and not forgetting to take a picture of your moment. Jihyo watched both of you in an awe and really happy, especially for you. You then felt a bit embarrassed with the crowd watching you both and pulled out from your tight hug from Siwon. Siwon stared at you lovingly and tucked a lock of hair to your ear. "I love you..." Siwon said again as your heart fluttered with those words. Siwon gently touched your chin and leaned closer to you, soon a pair of soft full lips touched yours. You couldn't help but to close your eyes to savor the sweet moment.
