At a nearby clinic...

      “Omo...will Hongki be okay, Jaejin?” Min hwan ask nervously in the waiting room as Hongki and Jonghun was in the doctor’s room.
      “I don’t know...Minhwan...but hopefully he’ll be okay.”
      “Mianhae...It’s all my faults... If only I don’t come to the party with you guys...this wouldn’t happen.”
      “Anio...Hyun Ae...It’s not your fault...” The voice came from behind them.
      “Oppa!” Hongki was out from the doctor’s room with Jonghun by his side; he looks pale.
      “Anio, Hyun Ae...Hongki was right, it wasn’t your fault...Hongki was feeling unwell since before the concert started; but he didn’t want our prims to be upset, so he showed up even know he’s not in a great shape.” Jonghun said as he helps Hongki.
“Oppa…” she still felt bad about what happen to Hongki; she decided to nurse Hongki even though he ordered her to leave earlier.


At Ft Island dorm...
     
      “Anio! I won’t leave Hongki oppa alone! I made him into this so I better fix it...I won’t leave him until he was 100% cured” Hyun Ae puts a warm soak towel on Hongki’s forehead.
      “It wasn’t your fault to be started with, Hyun Ae!” Jaejin tries explaining to her again.
      “Yeah, Hyun Ae, you should be headed home now...your parents must be worried sick about you...” Minhwan continues.
      “Anio...If it wasn’t for me, oppa won’t be freezing at the bus stop! I won’t leave until he’s okay!” sits at the chair hesitated on moving away.
      “What are we going to do now, leader?” Jaejin started to worry.
Leader Jonghun suddenly rise from his chair and approaches Hyun Ae; she looks nervous.
      “Are sure you want to do this, Hyun Ae?” Jonghun ask gently. She didn’t answer and just nod.
      “But what if something came up and your dad decides to settle things with us personally...then what will you do, Hyun Ae?” He looks down at her as she was still silence; now her expressions change.
      “What will you do if suddenly your dad makes a fuss about this and said we’re the ones who take you hostage or something?” there’s a silent in the room.
      “You don’t right, Hyun Ae?” He smirks.
      “Then...Jaejin, go cal a cab to send Hyun Ae home.” Jonghun ordered; and when Jaejin just about to dial the taxi service number,
      “Anio...I will take the full responsibility on any consequences that may acquired by my actions. So, you don’t have to worry about it, leader...and I’m still not going to leave here until oppa cured.” Hyun Ae is now standing in front of leader Jonghun.
      “What, now? Leader?” Jaejin still had the phone on his hand. Jonghun approaches Hyun Ae;
      “If you say so, Hyun Ae...” patting Hyun Ae’s head, giving her a warm smile. Jaejin just hung up the phone then smile at her.
      “Kamsahamnida, Jonghun oppa!” bows at Jonghun. The guys lift Hongki to his room to make sure he got his rest.


In Hongki’s room

      “You should take a rest too, Hyun Ae...” Order leader Jonghun as Hyun Ae’s looks tired.
      “You can take my bed...Hyun Ae, as mine was the closes to Hongki’s room” Offers Jaejin then.
“Anio...oppa, I’ll take a rest when he’s asleep. Gomawo Jaejin, but...mianhae, I prefer to sit here, with oppa; in case he needs anything.” She said as sitting beside Hongki.
“You guys should go and take a rest...you must be really tired after your concert and the party.” She said as looking at they tired faces.
“Oh, arasso...I’m going to bed now”
“Eh?” Min hwan pushes the clueless Jaejin out of the room.
“Yeah, we better let Hongki rest...you too, Hyun Ae...don’t be up too lated...arasso?” the leader ordered.
“Arasso, oppa...I’ll get to sleep as soon as Hongki oppa takes his medicine. Hyun Ae and Hongki were left alone now; she quickly takes the medicine plastic bag and prepares some plain water for the idol.
“Oppa? Wake up, oppa...it’s time for your medicine...”
“Eh? Hyun Ae? What are you doing here? Weren’t you supposed to be home now? It’s past 4am now” He spoke slowly as he was still feeling dizzy.
“Gwenchanayo, oppa...i’m not going home today.”
“What about your dad?” He grabs her wrist.
      “Stop it, oppa...I made up my mind...I don’t want to think about it yet...” She didn’t look at Hongki when speaking.
      “Until when?”
      “At least until you cured, oppa...” she still avoiding eye contact with the idol. They both stay silence that night as Hyun Ae orders Hongki to get a rest after taking the medicine.

The next morning...

It’s 10am already and Hyun Ae forgot to leave a massage to Yoon Jun telling him she was going to be home late the next day; so that he can tell Mr. Seong that Hyun Ae was sleeping over at Yoon Jun’s house.
      “Omo! I’m dead!” she talks loud in the bathroom.
      “Hyun Ae, are you alright in there?” Hongki speaks behind the door; he was cured right after his long rest last night, he even woke Hyun Ae up that morning.
“Omo...nothing, oppa I just forgot my tooth brush...”
‘I can’t let him know I’m worried bout this thing right now…’
“Toothbrush? You can use mine...it’s the red one” right after Hongki said that, he heard a loud sound in the bathroom;
“BANG!”
“Omo...Hyun Ae? Are you alright? What’s that noise?”
“Nothing oppa...I just slip...I mean...My pail slip from my hands...yeah..it’s just my pail” Hyun Ae tries to stand again after the fall; she was in pain indeed. ‘I can’t tell him I just fall after being too shock coz he told me to used his toothbrush!’
“Eh? You use a pail when having your bath?”
“Eh? A..anio...i used it to wash my dirty cloths; I’m a pretty clean person.” She answer as standing behind the door.
“Oh...arasso, be careful, the floor was pretty slippery; we’ll be waiting for you at the diner room”
“Ne...” Hongki left his room right after that.
‘Omo...my back...’

After having a late breakfast, the whole Ft Island boys escorted Hyun Ae home; to Yoon Jun’s house.But, just as they arrive, Mr. Seong was there already; making things worse, there was a few police officers hanging around in her brother’s house as well.
      “Aigoo...what’s going on here? Why are these people here? Omo...did something bad happen to oppa?” Then, she looked at the boys;
      “I think you guys’ better leave now...gomawo for sending me home...and mianhae for being troublesome to all of you.” She bows to the five of them before leaving the van and heading home.
      “Omo...is she going to be okay? Hongki?” Jaejin take a peek on the window.
      “Yeah...from the story you tell us bout how her dad was treating her...kind of gives me the creeps...” Min hwan continues. Hongki just sit silently as he watches Hyun Ae enters the house.
Yoon Jun’s house...

She enters the room and look around it; Yoon Jun was sitting silently at the corner chair, her mom was sitting beside her dad, crying. Mr. Seong looks worried but still has the fierce look.
      “Omma? Wae are you crying?” now, the whole room was looking at her.
      “Omma?” Mrs. Seong suddenly runs to her and hugs her, crying hard.
      “Where had you’ve been, Hyun Ae? We was worried sick bout you!” the woman was still crying.
“Then, its settles then...I guess we have nothing else to do here, we’ll excuse back to the station, then. The two police officer leaves.
“Yeah, where have you’ve been, Hyun Ae? Why didn’t you call me or at least call your brother!” Mr. Seong approaches Hyun Ae with a loud voice, making Hyun Ae’s tears falls out of terror.
      “I was...I was...” she tries answering her dad; but she was too afraid by him, her tears were falling hard.
      “Answer me, Seong Hyun Ae! Answer your appa!” She still kept quite and closes her eyes, tries to calm her self.
      “Appa, she was with me...I told you earlier, appa...” Yoon Jun tries to defending his sister.
      “I’m not asking you; did I, Seong Yoon Jun?” the young man just rest on his sit again; didn’t have the guts to rebel the man’s orders.
      “I was with Yoon oppa, appa...” She finally had the guts to speak.
      “The whole night?” He lowers his voice.
      “Anio...I was at a friend’s house last night, right after the concert ends.” she still shivers.
      “What friend? Wae didn’t you call us? Why didn’t you inform us first? Even your oppa?” he raises his voice once more; making Hyun Ae felt traumatize again.
      “Mi..mianhae...appa...I..I forgot...”
      “Forgot? And what did you ever remember then? Why don’t you just forget how to breathe?” His voice feels the whole room; she just shut her eyes as she was too afraid to make an eye contact with her own father.
      “Mian...Mianhae...appa...I...I promised it won’t happen again.”
There’s a silent in the room for a moment.
      “Who was it?” suddenly the man speaks again.
      “It’s a friend...”
      “Who was the guy, Hyun Ae?” his face turns red from anger.
      “Omo...guy? What guy, appa?” She’s still looking down at her feet.     
      “Your friend...was a guy, right?” She froze by a moment and wasn’t answering.
      “Why don’t you answer me, Hyun Ae?” Her tears falls again, she can’t breathe.
      “Because her friend was a guy.” Suddenly a voice she was very familiar with spoke.
      ‘Omo...It can’t be him...Anio...please say it wasn’t him’ she plead in her heart. The whole room attention moves to the young man who rushes into Yoon Jun’s house.
      “Who are you?” the angry dad speaks loud.
      “Lee...Lee Hong Ki?” Yoon Jun shrugged, got Mr. Seong’s attention. Hyun Ae still hesitated to move an inch.
      “Do you know this man, Yoon Jun?” Hongki approaches Hyun Ae.
      “Are you okay, Hyun Ae?” putting his big hand on her shoulder.
      “Oppa?” looks at Hongki; he gives a warm smile.
      “Anio...I don’t really know him, but I never knew he was close to Hyun Ae.”
      “What are you doing here, oppa? Aren’t you supposed to go back to the dorm or something?” She speaks to him, tries to ignore her dad.
      “Anio, the others were there already, I just though of meeting up with your dad to settles things up.” He smiles again.
      “What do you mean by that, Mr. Lee Hong Ki? What did you want to settle up?” Hongki suddenly approaches the Mr. Seong.
      “Oppa...” Hyun Ae starts to freak out as she saw Hongki standing in front her dad.
      ‘What is he going to do now? Omo...please don’t do something stupid, oppa...’ she pleads.
      “Annyeong Mr. Seong...Mianhae for the misunderstood...you were right, she was with me and my friends the whole night. But, we didn’t do anything inappropriate; she was nursing me the whole night as I was being ill last night” he bows as respect to the elders.
      “The whole night? And where does the both of you sleeps?” he continues. Hongki was shock at first with the man’s question, then smiles.
      “We did sleep in the same room but I sleep on my bed and she was barely asleep on the sofa” He smiles at Hyun Ae, She was blushing at the back.
“Is it the truth, Hyun Ae?”
“Ne...appa...” Mr. Seong suddenly turns silent, he just look at Hongki and his daughter as they were smiling to each other.
      “Omo...another thing, Mr. Seong...I just wondering do you know about your daughter’s passion for arts and writing? You have a very talented daughter...Mr. Seong” The man shrugged.
      “oppa...” Hyun Ae started to freaks out again as her dads expressions change.
      “Anio...she just did that for fun, and she has a passion for designing clothes now.” Hyun Ae just looks away.
      “Anio, ahjusshi...she said that she really likes drawing comics and writing screenplays as that where the only way she can express her true feelings and not with designing clothes.” Mr. Seong then turns to Hyun Ae that was still staring at her feet.
      ‘Omo...what the heck was he thinking? I’m sure going to be dead after this...Omo...’ she closes her eyes.
      “She never did tell me about this...how could she tell anyone else?” Mr. Seong hesitated on believing on was he just heard.
      “Maybe she just wants to make you happy, Mr. Seong?” Hongki was gambling up on what the man was going to do next.
      “Anio...that can’t be it. My children never think of me first... never.” His voice was rising.
      “How would you know Hyun Ae was being selfish?” the man got stump again.
      “You don’t right? She never being selfish to begin with; she thinks about you from the very start, she knew you would be happy if she just follows up on your plans on her life. Once for her life, she tries to spoke her mind...spoke her interest...hoping someone’s understands her, but unfortunately she got a different answer then what was she hoping to heard...so, she tries to forget about herself again and tries to live on...” there was a silent in the room, Mr. Seong was speechless for a while.
      “Hyun Ae? Don’t you want to say something to your appa?” Mr. Seong approaches his only daughter.
      “Omo...appa...I didn’t mean it...Mianhae...” she bows. Her dad suddenly hugs her.
      “Is it true, Hyun Ae? Waeyo? Wae haven’t you say a word to me? Waeyo, Hyun Ae? Wae did you hurt yourself after all these years?” he was crying.
      “Omo...appa...don’t say that...you’re my appa no matter what happen, I only have one appa as long as I live...so, I just want you to be proud of me...no matter what it takes...even if it’s hurts...I really don’t mind it, appa.” She smiles as being hug by Mr. Seong.

Since then, everything has change for Hyun Ae; she had a full support from her parents about her passion for arts and writing. Even so, her boutique business was still running as usual but now, her dad give his whole trust to Hyun Ae to run the shop by her own and driving in her own car. Nevertheless, after the incident, she didn’t get to contact Hongki again.
      “Omo...I forgot to thank him...” she murmured as sitting in front of her laptop, working on her latest screenplay. Suddenly, she got a mail;
      “Omo...it’s HK!! I wonder how was him.” She smiles happily. She opened up the mail;

Dear Hyun Ae-chan,
      It’s been long since we’ve chat together, right? Mianhae... I’ve been busy lately, but I hope u didn’t forget about our promise earlier...about meeting each other...

                                                              HK
“Eh?” Hyun Ae confuse bout the mail.
“Meet up? Omo...what should I do? I never meet up with my cyber friend.” Just as she wanted to reply the mail, he receives another mail from HK.
“Omo...another one...”

Hyun Ae-chan,
      Look at your front window...I’m waiting at the bus stop for you now.
                                                               HK
      “Eh? Omo...He can’t be serious...” she started to panic, but then slowly go to the front window; nervously. There, she saw a man sitting with a laptop on his lap.
      “It’s him...” she can barely see his face as he was wearing a baseball cap.
      “Omo...what should I do now? Should I just go and say hi to him? But we’ve made a promise...I should hold my promise. Ne, I’m going to meet him!” suddenly she made a decision and put on her black sweater before heading to the bus stop.
On her way there, she was sweating nervously;
      “Omo...wae am I’m being so nervous?” she murmured as walking to the bus stop.
     
At the bus stop...

      “Silyehamnida...omo...are you HK?” she said as standing right in front of the unknown man. Then, suddenly the man took off his baseball cap giving the girl a smirk; Hyun Ae shook her head.
      “Surprise, Hyun Ae-chan?” He still smiles.
      “Omo...oppa? What are you doing here?” Hyun Ae still confuses.
      “I’m sticking to my promise...”
      “Eh? Promise?” she tries to hide her blushed face.
      “Yeah...I promise someone I’ll meet her here.”
      “Omo...Are you sure?”
      “Yeah...Waeyo hyun Ae? Is something wrong?”
      “Anio... it’s just... someone promise to meet me here too.” suddenly, hongki giggles.
      “Omo...waeyo, oppa? Did I say something funny?” she’s clueless.
      “Hyun Ae, you’re cute...You really didn’t know why I’m here?” Hyun Ae just blushed for a while; an idol star just calls her cute, what do you think she’ll be doing?
      “Omo...Waeyo? I really don’t understand” Hongki opens up his laptop and show her the mail he just sends to her as HK. Hyun Ae shook her head again.
      “Eh? You’re HK?” The idol just nod several times while smiling; making her face turns red again.
      “Eh? Oh, that’s why you know bout my interest in art and writing?” Hongki nods again with a smirk.
      “Omo...then, you’ve read my screenplay?” she shrugged and started to panic.
      “Yeah...I’ve read them, but my favorite one was the title; My Star Mine. I like that one very much as the character was especially identical to me” Hyun Ae was blushing a lot that day she tries to hide the red face under her hood. From there, she can hear Hongki giggles.
      ‘Omo...I can’t say I made the character especially based on him.’ Hongki giggles again; thinking of her silliness, she starts to giggles as well. Hyun Ae sits beside the idol.
“Omo…when did you got your first kiss, Hyun Ae?”
“Eh? wae so sudden, Oppa?” she was shock by Hongki’s question.
“Nothing...I just curious about knowing bout it, as I tell you already bout my first kiss.” Glares at her.
“Omo...you really wanted to know, oppa?” she seems unease with the situation.
“Anio...its okay if you wanted to keep it a secret...” looking away.
“Anio...Arasso, I’ll tell you then...but it’s a bit weird.”
“Waeyo?”
“Well...it happens when I’m in elementary...” she starts. Hongki was ready to hear the whole thing.
“Was it he’s your first love or a crush?” suddenly he asks.
“Eh? Anio...it’s actually happen by accident.”
“Accident? Eh? Did he bump into you or something?” She blushed, as Hongki was making his dull expression; ‘man, he’s soooo cute!!!’ her heart whispered.
“Anio...it’s not like that...actually it’s not really a kiss to be exact”
“Eh?” He’s confused now.
“Omo...it’s actually a bite.” She’s blushing again.
“A bite? A guy bites you?” He started to freak out.
“Anio...It’s not a guy actually...” she looks nervous.
“Then, don’t say you loose your first kiss to a girl?” he smirk; making Hyun Ae beginning to blushed too much that she can’t even say a word for a moment.
“Anio...it’s not like that...it’s actually..a..cat...”
“Eh?” He stumps for a while, and then started to laugh hard.
“Oppa...Stop laughing~~” Hyun Ae blush even more as Hongki laugh hard. She then stand up from there and ready to walk away from him; Hongki grab her wrist.
“Okay...mianhae...Hyun Ae...I didn’t mean to make fun of you.” He tries to stop laughing; Hyun Ae’s wrist is still in his grab. A moment then, he started to giggle and burst into laughter...making Hyun Ae felts annoyed and started to walk again; suddenly Hongki stop laughing and pull her into his arms, making her falls on his lap.
“Omo!” she blushed as they eyes met.
“Then, is that by meaning...you never really known how the first kiss felt like, Hyun Ae-chan?” He smirks.
“A...nnii..oo...” she just put her head down as she spoke. Suddenly, he moves his face closer to hers until he touches her forehead.
She stump by his action; her heart was pounding hard as they faces was so close to each others;
‘Omo...what I’m suppose to do now? What is he planning to do? Omo...I can’t breathe~~~’ she was so nervous as she can felt his breathe.
“Oppa!” she covers up her face with both her hands to hide her red face.
“What are you trying to do, oppa?” she speak panicky behind her hands; with her eyes close.
“Nothing...I just want to show you how a first kiss was suppose to be like.” He spoke as tries to put Hyun Ae’s hands off her face but she hesitated 
As she felts Hongki face was too close to hers, she pushes him away before stands up and started to walk fast.
Again Hongki stands up and chase after her, pulling her arms hard then, she suddenly looses her balance and;
“Kya!!!!” She dropped hard on Hongki. Hongki wasn’t moving for a while...Hyun Ae began to freak out.
“Oppa? Oppa? Wake up, oppa!” she tries to wake the idol up...but he still wasn’t moving.
‘Omo...What have I done? Oppa~~~please wake up~~’ she plead as trying to shake the idol awake.
“Oppa? Oppa? Omo..I should try looking for help” she said as looking through her handbag and grabs her phone; as soon as Hyun Ae about to dial the emergency number, Hongki started to move.
“Oppa?” he seems wanted to say something,
“Hyun Ae...come closer...I wanted to say something...” he whispered. Hyun Ae just follows his orders; she kneels down towards Hongki and moves closer.
“I’m listening...oppa” suddenly the idol kisses her cheek, she was shock...then, turns her face facing him and:
“CHUP!” Hyun Ae’s first kiss was snatch away in seconds!
“Hahaha~~~I got it, Hyun Ae! Your first kiss!” he said proudly after waking up from his ‘fake unconsciousness’  
She sit still with a red face for a while...then;
      “OPPA!!!!!!” she started to cry her heart out...
      “Eh? Hyun Ae, wae are you crying? Wasn’t you suppose to be happy?” he started to panic while wiping her tears away.
      “Anio...how can I be happy when my first kiss was snatch away just like that? I didn’t even prepare myself yet!!! Kyaa!!!” She started to cry again.
      “Omo...I though I did tell you I wanted to show you how the real first kiss felts like...” Hongki still tries to calm her down.
      “Wae don’t you tell me earlier, you wanted to kiss me?”
      “I though I did...but you started to run away then...”
Her tears suddenly stop when Hongki pull her into his arms.
      “Mianhae...Hyun Ae, I promise it won’t happen again, arasso?” he whispers gently.
     
Suddenly, the Ft Island’s official van stops in front of them...
      “Yo! Hongki! Come on...we’re going to miss the flight if you keep on hugging her like that!” teased Minhwan as he tosses out a white sweater at him.
      “Flight? Are you going to Japan again, oppa?” quickly freeing herself from Hongki’s arms, still blushing.
      “Ne, we’re going to Japan tonight for our fan meeting session; we’re going to stay there for a week”
      “Then, you better get going now, oppa! Or you’ll be late...” she stands up.
      “Omo...guys, can I bring this girl along?” Hongki suddenly ask them by the car window.
      “Eh?” Hyun Ae was confused;
‘What the hell he was going to do now?’ her heart speaks.
      “You have to ask our leader then, Hongki!” Jaejin answer from inside the van.
      “Leader, can I? I’m worried if she would cry a lot when I’m not here” Hyun Ae wants to say something, but can’t.
      “Sure...there’s plenty of room here, Hongki~~”
      “Eh?”
      “Let’s go, Hyun Ae...or we’ll be late for our flight.”
      “Eh? Anio...I cant go...what would my parents say...Mianhae...”
      “Really? Then it’s a waste, leader...we shouldn’t talk to Mr. Seong at the first place...right?” Min hwan face Jonghun.
      “Eh? You met my dad?”
      “Well...not really...we just manage to pursue him to go with us to Japan...but, unfortunately Hyun Ae says no...” Hongki looks frustrated.
      “Anio! I didn’t say no...But, seriously...my dad agrees?”
      “Ne! And there’s another thing~~~Hyun Ae~~” Hongki took a few pieces of paper from his back pocket and handed to her.
      “Here...”
      “Eh? Isn’t these...the passes to the MANGA CONVENTION?” she was all excited about the convention and being able to hang out with her oppa; she suddenly…
      “Saranghae~~oppa!!!!” hugs Hongki in front of the Ft Island’s official van. She realizes what she was doing then pushes Hongki away and blushed; the crowd burst into laughter.

THE END

LiKE a DoLL

2:34 AM ---
1ST PART

“I want to draw!!!!” if only Seung Hyun Ae could speak her heart out this time. But, unfortunately she can’t again; as she looks through the arts universities letters she receive this morning. She didn’t get the guts to tell her dad about her dreams on becoming a comic artist.

“That dream won’t take you anywhere!” she sat silently as she told her dad about her patients in art. She even tries to stop painting several times; just because her dad keeps nagging bout it, and she keeps on failing on doing that.

Since she was a little girl, all she ever done was trying her best to make her parents happy in everyway; she even hold up her teenage life for them. She never even had her love coz doesn’t want her parents to get worried bout her.

When she’s 19...she finished on her studying on fashion and dressmaking in one of the institute in Korea; she didn’t even bother bout that as that was her dad’s wish. Every night she cried in her sleep; praying someday she could achieve her dreams. She was helping out her dad while waiting for her boutique to be finish being renovate.

Nevertheless, she had her own plan as she made a list of the things she going to achieve before her 21st birthday.

“Finish!!” relief as she looks on the dress her being work on. Now she’s already 20; and finally got her father’s trust to run her boutique on her own.
“Hyun ae, it’s almost 12 o’clock! Did you finish your work yet?” well, even know she didn’t have his trust to go to her boutique alone.
“Yeah, appa! I’m coming!”
Back from her boutique, she was working on her comic sheets; secretly, without her dad’s knowing. She was also a big fan of kpop music. So, every time she was on her work, she must put on her headphone. At night, she was working on her screenplay papers; she was going to post it on her blog.
“Someday, I’ll meet him!” she determined as looking at her crush; a kpop idol. She had a crush on a kpop band vocalist right after having a hard time forgetting her first love: it’s also a crush.

A few months later, her crush’s band had a concert near her place. Hyun ae was excited about going there and even saving some money for the passes. With her oppa’s help, she manages to buy the ticket on time. But, when it’s the date, her dads ask her to stay home that night; with the reason, she was a girl; and a girl should stays home at night. She was really upset that night as she couldn’t reach her crush even knows she was that close to her crush but yet that far. She cries the entire night; for a few days, she was having a break down; she didn’t smile like she used to, there’s a sigh of fake.


“I’m going to achieve it someday” she tries to convince herself again and tries to pull her self up as she look trough her list book. One of it says; I’m going to speak to hongki oppa!! She blushes as she looks at the list again~~

The next day, she’s when sick for about a week; she couldn’t manage her screenplay blog and her comic blog. After she heal, she received an email from an unknown sender says;

Annyeong…Miss Seong Hyun Ae…

      Oettokhae jinaesimnika? Mianhae for the sudden email. I’m one of ur blog’s fans and I’m wondering why haven’t you had a new post since a week ago...i’m kind of worry as I’m a big fan of your blog, especially your comic blog; I see your talent in your story line. Hope you’ll keep your good work and post more artwork on your blog~~^^~~hwaiting!

                                                                Ur fan
     
“Eh? I had a fan? A die-hard-fan? OMG! Oh, what should I say to him? Eh?  Is it a she?” she was so confuse and happy with the email and started to plan a new screenplay to post on her blog for the unknown fan. As she’d though, she got a positive review from the unknown fan.
Since then, Hyun Ae started to became friends with the mysteriously blogger; she did ask the blogger’s personal details but he just said that she can call him HK only.
“HK? Are you sure? Wae didn’t you tell me your Korean name? Or are you a mix?”
“Nope, I’m plain Korean but I prefer my online friends call me HK.”
“Oh, ok then HK, nice to know you~~^^~~”

They chatted all night as her laptop was in her room and she can access the internet all she wanted now. She was relieved to have a friend like HK.

“Speak your heart out then, Hyun Ae! You don’t have to be hypocrite with your own dad! Until when did you planning on keeping your feelings a secret?”
“I don’t know HK, it wasn’t easy at all for me either...i didn’t want to make them felt bad for me...”
“But you’re hurting your own heart, Hyun Ae! Think bout yourself!”
“Mianhae, HK~~” she when off line. She keeps on ignoring her true feelings as she being hurt by her own actions.

It’s been two weeks since their last chat; HK wasn’t online again, making Hyun Ae feeling unease.
“Was he mad at me? Omo~~ what should I do? Should I just send an apologize email? Aigoo~~ Am I that desperate?” The next day, she when to her shop like she used to; back from her boutique, she received a letter. She opened it up;
“Omo!!!” “What is it, Hyun Ae?” her dad asks as Hyun Ae looks excited bout the letter. “Nothing, appa...it’s just a letter from my good friend.” She said before running to her room, excitedly.



“Its Ft Island’s concert VIP passes!!! How did it end up here? Omo, I’m so lucky!” she said as looking at the tickets, there are 3 of them. ‘But, can I really go?’ suddenly the question pops from her mind, making her smile fades and worried face appeared.
“I guess I’m not that lucky...” she spokes as putting the tickets in her drawer before leaving her room. That night, she still waiting for HK; but he didn’t appeared to online again. Then, she had an email; “Please be him! Please be him! Putakhamnida!” she prays.
“Omo! It’s him!” she was relief to see his name on the screen. “Eh?” her smiles fade as she read his email.

                                                                  HK

“Good luck then, HK...and don’t overwork yourself...” she whispered with a warm smile as she replied his email.

It’s a day before the concert night,

Hyun Ae decides to try her luck today; gathered all her guts to talk to her dad.
“Appa...I...I...had something to say... I...” “You wanted to go out tomorrow night, right? Is that it?” her dad’s words make Hyun Ae shock.
“Eh? How did appa know bout it? I didn’t tell you yet, didn’t I?”
“Gwenchanayo, Hyun Ae. You can go tomorrow night...” “Eh? Really, appa?” she can’t believe her own ears. “Wae are you so surprise? Sure I’ll let you go out with your own oppa.”
“Eh?” “Yoon Jun just call earlier, he said he was going to take you to see a live concert, just don’t get home late, arasso?” He said as reading the news paper.
“Arasso...” Hyun Ae then excuses herself to her room. She’s being dancing happily that night in her room; she finally had a green card from her dad! ‘Gomawo, oppa~~’ she type a text message to Yoon Jun. A few seconds then, he called;
“Gomawo? For what Hyun Ae?”
“Eh, weren’t you the one who make a call to appa asking permission to take me out to the concert tomorrow?”
“omo~~it IS me ~~haha~~ I guess I just forgot~~ by the way, see you tomorrow~~” he hang up.

The concert night...

“Hoho~~Hopefully I can meet him in person” she said, excitedly as they’re reaching the park where the concert was held. They both enter the stadium, walking towards the VIP seats; as she had 3 passes, Hyun Ae invited her best friend; Min Chun Ah to join them that night. The concert ends 3 hours later; and as they had a VIP passes, they got the access to the backstage as well.
Hyun Ae wasn’t going to let the opportunity to go to waste; so she when to the backstage with Chun Ah.

Backstage...

“This way, miss...” the security guard guide us the FT. Island’s make up room.
“Annyeong...i’m one of your fans. Mianhae for disturbing...” she said; trying to hold herself from screaming...duhh!! She’s in her favorite band idol make up room, how can she control herself? She meets up and talks to Jonghun, Jae Jin, Min Hwan and even Seung Hyun, but she didn’t saw her crush anywhere around the room.
“Omo...are you looking for Hongki?” Jaejin ask her as she look like seeking for someone since she came in the room.
“Eh? Anio~~” she’s lying, feeling her face red.
“Gwenchanayo, he’s at the restroom, something wrong with his tummy; he’ll be back soon.” Says Jonghun.
“Eh? Is he’s going to be fine?”
Just before Jaejin answers her, Lee Hong Ki steps into the room; making the whole room in silence.
      “Eh? Wae the sudden silence?” Hongki makes a shock expression; making Hyun Ae not being able to move; with her face turning all red.
      “Omo...are you the one who win the VIP passes?” Hongki was standing right infront of Eun Ae now; she can’t seem to breathe, her heart was pounding hard, she just nods with her head down.
      “I thinks Hyun Ae, had a crush on our Hongki...”
“Look, her face was red as a tomato...haha~~” tease Min Hwan followed by Jaejin.
      “A..a..nii..o..” She tries to control her emotions while keeping her distance from Hongki.
      “Ya! Stop teasing her already...Don’t listen to them, Hyun Ae... I really happy to have a fan like you, gomawo for supporting us till now.” The whole room comes to silence again.
      “Eh? How did u know her name was Hyun Ae? We didn’t tell you yet.”
Hongki’s expression started to change as the boys look at him, puzzled.
      “Omo...Don’t you guys make some homework? I just looked at the file our PA handed us earlier; it says that the VIP passes winner’s name was Seong Hyun Ae.” Hongki said before exhaling hard.
      Eun Ae then excuses herself to get out of the room after she had a trouble in her breathing, feeling relief.
Jonghun drag Hongki to the wardrobe right after Hyun Ae left.
     
FT Island’s wardrobe...

“You’re lying, Hongki...”
      “What are you talking about, Jonghun? I don’t under...”
      “Our PA never gives us any file before...” Minhwan approaches them.
      “And even if he does, our Jonghun should be the first one to know.” Jaejin suddenly pops out of nowhere.
“Arasso...i’ll tell you guys then...” Hongki

Ft Island’s makeup room...

“Omo...where are the guys?” Hyun Ae looks puzzled as she enters the empty room.
“Eh? Hyun Ae is back! Aigoo...guys, look at the time! We should be going now...” Min hwan suddenly said as he saw the puzzled Hyun Ae standing behind the door.
“Eh? Where are you guys going? I though you guys are going to stay for a while here...” Hyun Ae looks unhappy.
“We’re going to a friend’s party, mianhae...Hyun Ae, we should tell you earlier.” Jaejin speak from behind Min hwan.
“Gwenchanayo...you guys go and have some fun, I’ll be heading home then.”
“Eh?” the guys look puzzled by Hyun Ae’s answer.
“Waeyo? Did I say something wrong?”
“Anio...it’s just that...” Jaejin looks unease.
“We though you could come with us to the party. Can you?”
      “Eh? Me? To a party? I...”
      “Anio.” Hongki pops out of their wardrobe followed by Jonghun from behind.
      “Eh?”
      “You were going to say no, right; Miss Seong Hyun Ae?” Hongki said with an unsatisfied tone in his voice. Hyun Ae just keeps her silence as she was too embarrasses to speak.
      “Mianhae, oppa...I can’t because my appa...”
      “You really scared of your appa THAT much, huh? Hyun Ae?” Hongki continues.
      “oppa...” she tries to hold her tears. She has this habit of being too sensitive when it comes to rebelling her father. hyun Ae then left the room without any words.
      “Hongki, I think you gone too far...You didn’t suppose to make our fan cry, you know...” Jonghun speak suddenly.
      “Mianhae, leader...it won’t happen again...okay?” Hongki makes his cute smile to Jonghun before heading to the restroom.

The lobby...

      “I just don’t know what was that girl thinking...its all about her appa~~wah!! I’m so pisses off!!” Hongki murmured alone on his way to the makeup room, just got out of the restroom. He stops as he saw a girl standing right in front of him.
      “Hyun Ae!?!?” The girl looks pale.
      “Omo...Mianhae for being rude to you earlier...I just...”
      “I’m going!” suddenly Hyun Ae spoke; making Hongki a bit shock.
      “Eh?”
      “I want to go to the party with you guys...can I?” she said, try to hold her embarrasses. Thank god the light at the lobby was dim, she can hide her red face without even trying; her mind speaks.
“Sure, you can! Hyun Ae! Let’s go now!” suddenly Jaejin pops out of nowhere, Jonghun and Minhwan come from behind her.

In the Ft Island official van...

      “Are you sure about this, Hyun Ae? What will your appa said?” Hongki started to worry.
      “Gwenchanayo...oppa...I can’t stick like this forever right? I want to have my life back.” Hongki just set silently after that. Chun Ah and her brother had to leave first as Chun Ah can’t be home late. The boys then, offered to send Hyun Ae home after the party ends; at first Yoon Jun didn’t like the idea but after being pursue by Hyun Ae, he gives her his permission on one condition; don’t be home late.

They arrive at the party at 10.00pm...

“I’m just going to gamble up then...” Hyun Ae whisper to herself as she walks behind the guys. The party was for Ft Island’s PA birthday, the guesses were kpop artists from various management including SME ent, and Brave sound. That’s means; she’ll be meeting various artists also.
“Are you nervous, Hyun Ae?” suddenly Jonghun ask her from behind.
“Omo...sure I am...oppa, I never knew there’s so many artists will come too...” she said slowly as walking along Jonghun.
“Gwenchanayo, they’re really friendly when you get to know them, especially our Suju’s sunbaes...arasso?” Jonghun said as he led the way. Hyun Ae just nod before glancing towards Hongki that were right in front of her, he was quite since he last ask her bout her dad in the van.
She was having a great time that night; been dancing and laughing until it was almost midnight. She started to get worried.
“Omo...guys, it’s almost midnight...I need to get back...”
The Jonghun was busy talking with their PA while Minhwan was busy dancing with Jaejin in the crowd. Jonghun seems to not hear her, so; she started to look for Hongki. She looked for him all over the place, still haven’t see the sigh of him. So, she makes her decision to take a taxi home that night.

Outside the party...

      “Omo...I should just talk to them. Silly me...” blabbering to herself.
      “Or at least...I could ask oppa to get me~~ Ya!!! Me and my big mouth!” she gets mad at herself as stopping a taxi. She sits in the taxi and looks into her handbag for some money.
      “Omo...i forgot~~~I spend my last penny on some snack for the concert earlier ~~Erm~~~Ahjusshi~~Mianhae~~” she then step out of the taxi, shutting the door behind her and look at the cab as its drives away.
      “Now, I have to walk home...” She sighs. Suddenly the rains pour hard;
      “Aigoo~~~ what is it now?!?!” she started to run toward the nearest bus stop.

At the bus stop...

      Hyun Ae wipe herself from the rain before sitting there; shivering...she notice there was a man sitting at the other end of the bus stop. They sit silently for a while; then, suddenly the man approaches Hyun Ae. She began to panic but try to act natural; still sitting still. The man then sits beside her; he was wearing a red sweater with the hood on; making Hyun Ae panic level rising.
      “Omo...are you trying to run away? Hyun Ae-chan?” His voice was very familiar to her ears.
      “Hongki oppa?!?!” Her eyes were wide open when the idol opens up his hood; showing his face.

      “Oppa? Wae are you here? Aren’t you supposed to be inside, with the others?” still shivering.
      “Sshhhss...” Hongki whispered as he took of his red sweater and put it on Hyun Ae living him wearing a black singlet with a skull printed on it.
      “Wear this, I don’t want my fan to catch a cold at our party” he said as wipe up Hyun Ae’s wet face. Hyun Ae tries not to freak out and close her eyes as Hongki’s was THAT close to her; her heart was pounding hard, she can hardly breathe.
      They sat silently for awhile, Hyun Ae was still blushing as looking at Hongki; he looks freezing. She was worried bout her idol as he was only wearing a singlet and it’s freezing. She then, tries to take off the sweater to give it back to him; but...
      “But oppa~~ you’re freezing...” as soon as she said that, Hongki’s head falls on her shoulder; making Hyun Ae stump again.
      “Oppa?” she started to worry as the idol didn’t answer her. Suddenly, Hongki falls on her lap.
      “Oppa!” she started to panic then putting her palms on his fore head.
      “Aigoo, he’s burning!” she quickly took off the sweater and put it over him. He was sweating all over.
      “Omo...I better get some help.” She then took her phone o make a call but just to discover the battery was dead.
      “Ah! Oppa’s phone!” suddenly remembered bout the idol’s phone.
      “Mianhae, oppa...” she said as checking the idol’s jeans pocket.
      “Found it!”
