Chapter Seven -
TaeHee awoke the next morning bright and early. Her mother was bustling about getting lunch ready for her, chattering about how her daughter was finally getting back to her old self. LeeWan was grumpily eating his cereal and mumbling things like “traitor” and “liar”.
She walked out dressed in casual jeans and a loose t-shirt with her hair tied up. It was way too early to be dressing nicely. She could careless what the guys thought anyways.
“Are you ready honey?”
TaeHee nodded and sat down beside LeeWan, who glared at her. She sighed. “LeeWan ah, I’m just going on a trip with them.”
“You’re betraying MinWoo Hyung with that JunJin guy!”
All motion stopped and everyone became silent. MinWoo’s name wasn’t spoken much in the house hold after his disappearance.
Angrily, TaeHee slammed her hand against the table. Turning to LeeWan, she said in a voice that warned him of her patience, “If I EVER hear you say that again, I’ll kick you out of this house regardless what mom says. MinWoo and JunJin are best friends. He said that since MinWoo isn’t around, I should still hang out with them because we are friends. FRIENDS. Do you understand that?”
He nodded his head slowly. When his sister got mad, she got mad.
Their mother laughed lightly, trying to get out of the awkward mood everyone was in. “Here’s your lunch sweetie. You best hurry up!”
TaeHee kissed her mother on the cheek, patted her brother on the head and carried her luggage and lunch out the door.
--
As the guys sat in the van with TaeHee, they were deathly quiet. They all saw the mood TaeHee was in and it wasn’t good to mess with her. Whoever had been stupid enough to set her anger off in the morning was probably seething in pain or shivering in terror.
Andy frowned. Who had put his Noona into such a bad mood? It was supposed to be a fun trip, not one where they tried to avoid her death glare. JunJin paid no heed to her anger however. He just chatted with her every once in a while and she answered him with short, quick answers.
“When are we getting there?” TaeHee suddenly asked.
“We have two more hours,” DongWan answered.
She sat back in her seat and sighed. It was slightly drizzly outside, which didn’t help her mood much. The guys were all acting scared of her except for JunJin, which helped somewhat. And what was worse was that HyeSung wasn’t coming.
Sure, they were just friends, but HyeSung was like a girlfriend she never had; sort of. He was the one that knew every detail about MinWoo and her. She felt comfort around him and sometimes lost when he wasn’t there. It was a different feeling of MinWoo’s presence, that was definite. People would say she had fallen for HyeSung, but it wasn’t true. Thinking it over, she realized he was more of a brother to her than a girlfriend she never had.
“Missing HyeSung?”
All heads turned to TaeHee as she sighed. “Sort of. I needed to talk to him about something.”
She didn’t correct their thoughts. If they thought she and HyeSung were more, let them. It gets tiring when one always corrected what others assumed. If it was a big deal, then yea, she’d correct them. But if the detail was small to her, then she would let their thoughts wander where they may.
“How about we take a break right here.”
They all got out and stretched their tired limbs. Instantly they all started to chat away while walking towards the nearby convenient store. JunJin lagged behind with TaeHee, who looked deep in thought about something as she walked.
“What’s up?” He asked, becoming annoyed that he wasn’t able to figure out what she was thinking about.
“I’m wondering why HyeSung didn’t call to tell me he wasn’t going to be able to go.”
“You’re worried,” JunJin concluded. He felt jealous that HyeSung got so much attention from the girl.
TaeHee sighed and raised her head. “Maybe I’m just paranoid.” Letting out a small laugh, she added, “I’m used to getting worried when one of the guys don’t let me know about something. MinWoo used to do it all the time and I’d end up finding him in the hospital or at home nursing a wound.”
JunJin knew it all too well. MinWoo and he were, after all, the trouble makers. They’d end up calling each other and just talk for hours about their fights. Though separated by an ocean, JunJin and MinWoo were actually in the same gang that had it’s territory over in both America and Korea. Of course, they weren’t actually in the gang, but just sort of helped out whenever they felt like beating the sh!t out of someone. They had once been in the gang, but opted to just help out when necessary because it was starting to take a toll on their loved ones. Luckily the leader of the gang favored the two enough to agree.
“You guys take a long time to walk,” Andy said as he walked in the opposite direction of them.
TaeHee and JunJin ended up turning back around and following the rest of the guys back to the van. It was only two more hours before they got to DongWan’s getaway house.
--
As they neared the grand home used only on special occasions, TaeHee felt butterflies start to flutter in her stomach. The past started to flash before her eyes in snippets. Several times she had to shake herself to rid the thoughts from her vision. Everyone noticed but didn’t say anything, feeling it was only natural she would get flashbacks by looking at a place where one of the most important events happened.
“Ms. Kim!”
A short maid with bursting energy flew down the steps of the large house and pulled TaeHee into a tight embrace. TaeHee was surprised at first and took a moment to return the embrace.
“It has been much too long Ms. Kim!” She exclaimed the moment she pulled away. Putting her calloused hands on TaeHee’s face, she turned it right and left before saying, “My goodness! You’ve lost so much weight! What have these boys been feeding you? You’d think with all the money they have, you’d be as fat as a pig on thanksgiving!”
Usually, when a maid spoke her opinion so openly about their masters, it was expected that she would be fired. But this maid in particular, Mrs. So, was a long time friend of the family. Her family had served DongWan’s family way back before either were born and the Kim’s eventually came to put a lot of trust into the So’s.
“Come, let’s get you something to eat!”
TaeHee tried to protest that she was alright, but Mrs. So hushed her and urged her into the house while everyone else followed.
JunJin was the last, contemplating over what he’d just seen. It was obvious from the start that TaeHee would be close to a lot of people the guys knew, but he’d never thought about just how close. So far, she knew WooHyuk and Mrs. So, which was more than any of their other friends knew. Did she even know MinWoo’s parents? JunJin knew that MinWoo’s parents were hard to persuade, so he wasn’t so sure they’d had accepted TaeHee.
“JunJin, what’s up with you and zoning out today?” Eric asked as he passed with a few luggage in his hands.
He shrugged in response. “Just tired after the long trip.”
Eric smirked. When he turned around, his face held a troubling expression. JunJin was already starting to think over TaeHee’s relationship with them. He was going to find out more than he needed to know if they didn’t keep things quiet.
Inside, TaeHee was being greeted by all of the maids and butlers. She gave them weak smiles. Even though she was exhausted, she might as well give them all greetings before the party.
“Here, have a seat dear,” Mrs. So ushered.
TaeHee sat down at the island in the kitchen and waited as she watch Mrs. So bring out a small piece of cake. For the first time in a long time, TaeHee grinned as she watched Mrs. So bring the cake over. It was her favorite, strawberry fruit cake.
“I’ve been making them every single year and you’ve finally decided to come back for a taste!” Mrs. So exclaimed as she placed the cake down in front of TaeHee. “I think I’ve improved it greatly sweetie. Do have a taste.”
TaeHee forked up a piece and let the taste of the strawberries attack her taste buds.
“It’s delicious,” she breathed out.
Mrs. So’s face lit up with pride. “I knew I had perfected it! Just look at your glowing face dear! I knew it!”
Everyone in the kitchen laughed along with Mrs. So. They had seen her working on it for weeks before the grand event, hoping TaeHee would come and tell her it was her absolute best.
TaeHee picked at the piece of cake with her fork as everyone bustled about in the kitchen, preparing for the big meal later in the evening.
--
Everyone already had their own rooms except for TaeHee. Since it had been a while since she’d come, it was already given to an important business client of the Kim’s.
Eric, however, knew exactly what room to give her. He took her luggage and dragged it into MinWoo’s room.
JunJin stopped him abruptly. “You know MinWoo doesn’t like it when people come into his rooms.”
Shrugging JunJin off, Eric continued into the room with JunJin trailing behind. “TaeHee used to do it all the time when she first came here. He doesn’t mind if it’s her.” Once he put his things down, Eric turned around to face JunJin’s surprised face. He gave JunJin a smile, “they were really close. You wouldn’t be able to believe it unless you saw it with your own eyes.”
Just as Eric was about to walk out the door, he was stopped by JunJin’s question.
“What did MinWoo tell you guys? I know you know something.”
Eric didn’t say anything. He just left with an unsettling feeling in his gut.
--
Three of the personal maids hustled around TaeHee, fussing with her hair, make-up, and dress. They argued amongst each other about what would be best on her while TaeHee’s eyes started to flutter close with traces of exhaustion.
She had already put on the dress. The others were trying to decide whether to do an up-do or down.
“Let’s leave it down! Curl it and then pin back the fronts.”
TaeHee perked up and nodded. “Let’s do that.” So I’m not late for the start she added on in her head.
So the curler was plugged in and they put on light make-up on her while waiting for it to heat up. She didn’t need that much since she was so pale. Putting on more would make it obvious that she had some on, which wasn’t the effect they were aiming for.
TaeHee winced as she moved her feet around in her heels. She didn’t like to wear heels much; just flats. Being forced to wear these, even if they were only an inch high, was killing her. If she didn’t wear them though, she’d be tripping and falling flat on her face because of the dress’ long hem.
“Done!” One of the maids cried out excitedly.
She was finally allowed to look into the mirror before her and smiled gently. “That looks great. Thank you,” she bowed.
“Now, hurry up! You’re going to be late.”
--
JunJin straightened his tie irritably. He wanted desperately to loosen it, or even better, just take the whole damn suit off so he could relax in sweats and a t-shirt.
Andy smirked. He knew JunJin hated going to formal parties. This was a yearly thing though, and it was an agreement between JunJin and his parents that he attend at least one formal party. They said it kept him known in the “business”. Not that JunJin was likely to take over his parents’ company unless he was persuaded heavily.
Walking over to him, Andy handed JunJin a glass of champagne. “Calm down Hyung. Noona will be down soon.”
JunJin choked on his sip of champagne and turned to Andy with wide eyes, even through the mask he wore.
“How--what?”
“It’s obvious. You keep looking at the stairs.”
He didn’t say anything. Andy was right. His gaze had been on the stairs, watching, waiting for her to come out. It was just something he naturally did when a girl attracted him so…
And turning once more back to the stairs, he stopped stiff.
There she walked, or more like glided in his eyes, down the stairs in the dress he had bought her. She wore little or not even any make-up it looked like, which he preferred since it suited her better. As she walked, she seemed to glow and all eyes just seemingly turned towards her small figure, floating onto the dance floor as she searched for familiar faces.
“Go bring her over,” Andy ordered teasingly and went to sit back down. He knew encouraging JunJin wasn’t right, but what right did he have to take away what little happiness TaeHee seemed to be having? Even if MinWoo had made them promise…he couldn’t possibly hurt his Noona anymore. Not anymore…
--
As TaeHee walked down the stairs, she felt déjà vu hit her. The atmosphere and the people, they all seemed so familiar. Her stomach felt queasy and she didn’t like the way all eyes were pinned to her as she stepped onto the dance floor. Looking around, she tried to find Andy and the others. It was then that she felt someone watching her, waiting for her. And then she saw JunJin coming through the crowd of mingling people towards her. But something tugged at her heart. Her mood for the whole night was officially ruined by that simple tug.
JunJin gave her a small smile but could see that something was wrong. She looked calm on the outside, but her eyes held such sorrow.
“What’s wrong?” He hesitantly asked.
She gave him a light smile. “I’m fine. Just going to take a little stroll outside.”
“I’ll go with you,” he immediately offered. “It’s pretty late.”
TaeHee shook her head, hoping he’d let her go alone. “I’m not going far. Just in the garden.”
JunJin slowly nodded his head and watched as she disappeared. He stayed at the same spot even after she’d disappeared, feeling a strange rejection.
--
Outside, the night was perfect for a stroll. The moon bathed among the stars bright and full. Even though everyone inside were happily rejoicing a start of a new business year, she was mourning over missed memories.
How long had it been since she’d been here? Nothing had changed a single bit. Maybe the trees had grown and some things were older, but nothing truly changed. Only the people that passed through had.
Stopping at a particular spot beside a lamp post, TaeHee looked up at the largest balcony on the mansion…
MinWoo loved how she looked. Her hair was let down and nothing was done to it but a few loose curls that were already falling out. There was also no make-up. She basically put it on and did a bit of fixing up before she was done.
He, on the other hand, seemed to take forever when there was nothing that looked different. Yet he had dragged her to the balcony so excitedly and secretly.
“Lee MinWoo, what are you up to now?” She whined. She had been playing rock, paper, scissors with Andy and DongWan. If MinWoo hadn’t interrupted her, she would’ve beaten Andy; she knew she would’ve!
He gave her a toothy grin. “You’ll see.”
Once her hands were placed gently on the railing of the balcony, MinWoo gave a signal to Eric and he flipped the switch. That was when the garden lights came on and TaeHee gasped, her hands coming to her mouth.
The lights weren’t the new additions. It was the Gardenias and Roses that were planted in an orderly arrangement around extra fountains that had been added in. It was a predicted action, but anyone who knew MinWoo knew that this was a lot of effort on his part.
Turning around, she wrapped her arms around him and hugged him close. She could feel him chuckling as his hands slowly came to wrap themselves around her.
“You’re mine, Kim TaeHee.”
She pulled back and raised an eyebrow at him. It was just like Lee MinWoo to ruin a romantic moment with his cocky suggestions.
“What is that supposed to mean?”
MinWoo playfully pulled her back into a hug and with his lips beside her ear, he said, “It just means what it means.”
“I can’t be yours. I’m not something that can be owned,” TaeHee protested.
“Then this’ll make you mine.”
He pulled her back and before she could stop him, placed his lips on hers.
All noise ceased and the lights in the garden seemed to explode into a spectrum of magnificent colors. She couldn’t think, couldn’t move, couldn’t stop. Suddenly, it all seemed so right. This was how it was supposed to be; this was the way it would always be.
She smiled softly before turning and continuing on her way back towards the party. Nothing could top the memory of her first kiss at that balcony.
“Kim TaeHee.”
TaeHee turned around and was surprised to see HyeSung. “HyeSung! What are you doing here?”
He smiled and played with his hair. “I wanted to surprise you.”
She rolled her eyes jokingly and headed towards him. The two hooked arms and walked back to the mansion at a leisurely pace.
“So, where were you really?” TaeHee asked again, scrutinizing him.
HyeSung shrugged lightly. “No where. I was just lazing around in the house because I wanted to skip going to the party, but with you being dateless and all, I thought it’d be a shame to leave you all by yourself.”
She smiled to herself, happy that she wasn’t the only one worried about the other. This was especially why she allowed HyeSung to be so close to her and trust he wouldn’t develop the wrong kind of feelings for her. They both thought so alike it was destined that their relationship be one of friends, or, as she had thought before, family.
“So, what were you thinking about?” He asked in a more serious tone. He’d seen her looking at the spot again. It pained him to see her being reminded of MinWoo everywhere. And though HyeSung should’ve been glad that TaeHee didn’t just forget about MinWoo and go off with someone else, he couldn’t. The way she took the separation between them was way more than any of them, including MinWoo, had ever thought.
Her answer was that same reminiscing smile he saw when he’d watched her. “Just reminiscing.”
He nodded his head lightly, determined to keep the mood light. Whatever happened tonight, it was going to be all about fun. No drama or anything was going to cause any of their moods to be ruined.
When the two stepped inside, their friends were all seated at the table, joking and goofing off. It wasn’t much different from when TaeHee left except that the dance floor cleared out a bit. HyeSung watched JunJin, feeling something different. Though JunJin joked around with the rest quite a bit, he seemed quieter and that made him question why. What exactly had him so lost into thought that he stared at his champagne glass so intently?
“Noona!” Andy yelled out when he saw TaeHee return.
Everyone looked up and was surprised to see HyeSung beside TaeHee. JunJin was specifically suspicious though. Why was it that HyeSung always seemed to appear whenever TaeHee came back from somewhere?
The two took a seat beside each other between Andy and JunJin. The rest of the night was spent by only laughter and enjoying themselves. Thoughts of sadness or hurt was pushed away as they all tried to forget the one person that kept the biggest occupant unhappy: MinWoo.

SHORT RECAP
YuHwan followed me lazily as I stomped out of the door leaving his group of friends gaping at us. I was going to find the answer to what SeeDuk was talking about. Only, as I walked in, fear was filling me. Something about his expression was wrong and my gut could feel it.
The world is seriously out to get me, damn it.
Kissed By You || 36
“Are you sure this is the way?” I asked YuHwan with doubt. SeeDuk usually never hung out in such places, but I guess time has changed him.
“I’m pretty sure.”
We continued walking down the busy sidewalks of downtown Seoul. I disgustedly backed away from the drunk men and perverts that grabbed onto my coat whenever we passed by. Having YuHwan beside me made me feel safe. Even if I'm able to fight these people off on my own, I always hated downtown Seoul because of the types of people found here.
“In here.” YuHwan pointed at the club to our right.
“Figures,” I mumbled.
We both looked at the huge bouncer that was dressed in all black while covering the door with his huge, muscular body. He gave us a look that obviously wondered what the fcuk we were doing dressed the way we were and downtown.
“Come on.” YuHwan walked towards the door casually with the cigarette hanging from his lips. I glared at it, hoping it’d fall out of his mouth. Stupid doctor wannabe still smoking...
“Eun YuHwan, what are you doing here?” The bouncer gave us a crooked grin that sent shivers down my spine.
“I have some business with Gyo SeeDuk. Let me in.”
“I’ll let you in, but not her.” The bouncer gestured towards me.
“Do you know who I am?” I asked him, moving to stand in front of YuHwan. Just because I may look small didn't mean he had to look down on me like that.
“No, and I don’t care.”
“Su YeKyung. Ever heard of that name?”
He blankly stared at me. Suddenly, he jumped and moved out of the way with a frightened expression on his face. “The boss is waiting for you,” he said specifically to me.
“Thank you.”
YuHwan and I walked into the club filled with half dressed people dancing and laughing all about. Smoke was thick in the air and the noise was pounding against my ear drums. Avoiding the many loitering people, we managed to get to the bar. YuHwan asked the bartender where Gyo SeeDuk was and he answered, “In the third room on the right.”
We both walked towards the hallway of rooms and silently counted to ourselves. YuHwan's hand brushed against mine occasionally as we walked. I was so tempted to grab it to assure myself that everything would be alright.
“Knock,” he told me.
“Why don’t you?” I retorted. He's the guy here, shouldn't he at least try to have some pride?
“You’re the one that wanted to come here.”
I frowned. Good for nothing boyfriend. I rapped my knuckles on the door and waited impatiently for the door to open. After what seemed like five minutes, I pressed my ear up against the door. I could hear a loud group of boys and some giggles that definitely came from girls. Taking the doorknob, I opened the door and looked at the huge room. The guys all stopped smoking and drinking as their gaze came up to me.
“Where’s SeeDuk?” I called out.
“Su YeKyung,” a slurred voice called out.
The voice came to my left side. I turned and glared at SeeDuk. He was leaning against the wall with soju bottles surrounding him, including a new one in his hand. All that he gave me was a sleepy smile.
“What the fcuk are you doing?” I yelled. Taking away the bottle, I forced him on his feet by pulling him up by the collars. He already pissed me off before, but now here he was, demeaning himself by drowning himself in alcohol.
“You…hah. You don’t know…” He continued mumbling jibberish that only I could hear.
“YuHwan get in here,” I called out to him.
All the guys tensed up and glared at YuHwan as he walked in. They looked ready to kill him, but with my presence here and without SeeDuk's order, they could only glare from afar.
“What?” YuHwan asked lazily.
“Ask him.”
He took a step back and pointed at himself. “Me? Why don’t you ask him?”
Rolling my eyes, I turned back to SeeDuk and asked him, “What do you mean your business is me?”
He smiled and put a finger against my forehead. “You are my business.” SeeDuk then chuckled like the situation was hilarious.
“What the hell does that mean?!” I yelled in frustration. What the fcuk did he want? Could he not just request it and leave?
“Let him go.”
I looked up at the door and saw SungHwan My eyes turned cold and my fists gripped tighter into SeeDuk’s collar. “Why should I?”
“Su YeKyung, let my Hyung go.”
Releasing him from my grip, I purposely let him fall to the ground with a loud thump. Rage filled my eyes and I clenched my fists.
“YeKyung ah, let’s go.” YuHwan tugged at my arm.
SungHwan smirked. I hated that smirk. It made me want to punch it off of his face.
“Yes, listen to your boyfriend. Go, go follow him.” SungHwan fluttered his hands as he mocked me.
Just as I was about to give him a piece of my mind, a voice from below us interrupted me.
“No…” SeeDuk slowly got up with wobbly steps. He walked towards me and roughly pulled my arm out of YuHwan’s grip. Then, he pulled me into his body, holding me against his body.
“Sh!t,” YuHwan cursed. “Let her go.”
SeeDuk turned his head and, with anger slowly filling him up, his eyes flashed. “No.”
I felt fear taking me over. SeeDuk wasn’t what you’d call a good citizen when he was angry. But then again, he isn’t even a good citizen when he’s not angry. “Gyo SeeDuk, let me go right now,” I ordered with a trembling voice.
“Fcuk, don’t touch her." YuHwan curled up his fingers and formed a fist. He was about to let loose if SeeDuk didn't listen.
“Eun YuHwan, don’t,” I told YuHwan. SeeDuk was drunk, he didn't know what he was doing.
“I need to talk to her.”
It seemed as though he was sober again. After all those bottles, he seemed just fine. Maybe I could get some information out of him in this little time he's sober.
“No,” YuHwan answered tiredly. “You don’t need to talk to her. We’re leaving now.”
“No,” I objected. “We’ll talk.”
“In private,” SeeDuk added.
Hearing this, YuHwan wasn't going to stand patiently by the side anymore. “We’re leaving,” he said and grabbed my arm and pulled me while SeeDuk pulled me back. I’m not a rubber band!
“EUN YUHWAN, LET ME GO!” I yelled, knowing SeeDuk was too disoriented to understand if I ordered him to.
YuHwan let go but glared at SeeDuk before stomping out the door. I was about to go after him when SeeDuk pulled my arm. I turned around and asked him coldly, “What?”
“You’re so cruel.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?” I snapped.
The whole room was quiet now. SungHwan looked at his brother with something I identified as anger. Why was he angry with his brother though?
“Why…why do you do this to me?” SeeDuk whispered.
I continued to pull my arm away from him but his grip was like handcuffs. “I-I don’t understand.”
He wrapped an arm around my waist, forcing my body against his again. It seemed like an eternity as he stared into my eyes. I tried to read what he was trying to tell me, but those black eyes remained a mystery to me. So cloudy...so dark.
“Stop.” SungHwan pulled me away from SeeDuk. “Leave,” he ordered.
I did as I was told. Dazed, I walked onto the dance floor, bumping into people as I made my way across it towards the entrance.
It’s amazing that YuHwan was waiting at the spot I came out of. He leaned against the wall, smoking his cigarette. I walked up to him and glared. He puffed smoke into my face making me fan it away with disgust.
“Let’s go.” He flicked the cigar onto the ground and left. I gaped at his slouching back and hands stuffed in his pocket. Putting out the lit cigar with my feet, I ran to catch up with him.
YuHwan was angry, but keeping it to himself. I thanked him, for I was too lost to deal with any more confusion. SeeDuk's words still rang in my ear even when I tried to block them all out.

liltoazndevil Ah! You’re the only one that seems to have realized that SeeDuk would be hurting his own brother! (lol, no body thought that). But yea, he didn’t actually issue the order for his own brother to be hurt. That was a mistake of one of the members in their “gang” (group). SeeDuk was extremely angry when he found out his own brother was hurt instead.

itami Welcome! Sucks you all in eh? haha
mizzochan YAY! haah, you see a film! That’s what I see in my head =) It’s best to imagine it as a movie lol. Makes it more exciting xP. As for the relation stuff, you’ll see ;] haha, I’m so tempted to give out the answer, but this way will just have you questioning more, hehe.
smiile lol, as long as you catch up! Plus, you don’t have to stick on cliffhangers as much I guess =)
Sophi.e* It makes me feel so special to know that my story reminds you of a drama <3
smileyface(: Everything’s going to get more complicated now!
Junanni haha, she’ll come back in a more quieter way =)
X10DiNGDREAMERxx YeKyung still has values :X lol. Even if she hates her sister and mom, she tries not to beat them up because they’re family (but it seems the things they accuse her of can’t be her family eh?) But yea, she won’t touch them no matter how many times she kills them in her head.
lilazngrl good hunch =)
xbossinix thanks<33 support xD
mct2dj very good guesses ;]
Mae! lol, that's all the characters that you have to know! JaeJung is no one important, so you don't have to pay much attention to him :X ahha. As for the ex-neighbors, SungHwan is YeKyung's age and SeeDuk is around YuHwan's age. Not much older than they are. lmao, and you meant YeKyung acknowledged YuHwan as her boyfriend :X haha.
greymoose lmao, you have a friend named SeeDuk?! That’s so cool <3 lol. SeeDuk in this story is a real bad as$ lol. lol, I have high expectations of guys from other fanfics too :X it’s all a cycle aha.
baybeeh_bliss It’s a mystery!
hunnyl secret business ;]
jaejoong<3 yes they are!
yelinoh He does believe her =) Of course, when the whole family is against you besides her father, it’s hard to go on. SeeDuk and his “like” to YeKyung isn’t something out in the open yet. We’ll have to see =) I wish I had a life as interesting as the characters I write about T__T lol, this is why I write : to live a life I can never live :X hahaha. As for the chapters I pre-write, it’s sometimes three or four ahead. As for my posting schedule, it’s not a fixed one. I usually try not to wait too long though. A week to two is the longest. Other then that, I have sort of an internal clock that just tells me when to post. Usually, the “clock” is right within 6 or 8 days or a little longer/less =) *lmao, your second post makes me happy<3 I’m glad my story isn’t becoming too boring. At the beginning, I felt I needed to speed things up, eheh.
xonike lol, speechless eh?
jocepiSeeDuk and SungHwan are pretty out of the place characters eh?
xemy_ Welcome! Thanks!

xjustsweet sexy indeed
msxadina She’ll fight it!
yokemun SeeDuk is SungHwan’s older brother =) As for JaeJung, he isn’t that important :X lol. I needed to give the person a name just so he could tell part of her past to you readers. Other than that, he really isn’t of much importance. And there was a chapter when YuHwan and YeKyung said they were going to be gf/bf in the hospital, remember? But YeKyung had lied, only, her father didn’t know that, so they ended up stuck together.
to_love_is_to_die lol, the smart-mouthed child~
birainy SeeDuk has a different reason to come; not because of HeeJoo and AeRim xP
jellyace695 lol, the most simplest way to explain it.

Ack, I know, that was a short chapter. But I've given you guys quite long ones anyways
hehe. So we still don't know what SeeDuk's business is, but you do know that SungHwan and him are both there for a reason. As for YuHwan and YeKyung's relationship, it's progressing, right? ;]-Jenny

Chapter Six -
TaeHee and JunJin were much more comfortable by the time lunch ended. She felt better knowing who he was and he felt better knowing she trusted him somewhat.
Even though she still wasn’t happy he was sitting in MinWoo’s seat, she accepted it for the meanwhile since there were no other seats in the classroom.
“So are you going with HyeSung and all them to the fall trip this weekend?” JunJin asked TaeHee. He hoped she would, wanting to know more about the girl that captured MinWoo’s tough heart.
She shook her head. “I don’t go on trips with them.”
“Why not? Did you not hang out with them when MinWoo was here?” He found it strange that Eric and the others besides HyeSung acted like they didn’t know her when he knew they had to have.
“They…didn’t talk to me after MinWoo left,” she answered. TaeHee was also confused and sad when they stopped talking to her. She tried to get them to communicate with her, but they just ignored her and walked away. The school at first saw this as their chance to poke fun at her and what not, but when they stopped, she realized that the offenders had been threatened by Eric and the others. She wondered why then, did they stop talking to her if they didn’t want her to be picked on. Had MinWoo said something? She’d never know, for they didn’t talk to her. Only HyeSung remained the same.
The school bell rang and TaeHee went into motion and packed quickly. JunJin watched on, amused. She packed like she was going to be late for something when he knew she didn’t have anything else to do. It was obvious when the got outside by the way she lagged and always stood at the gate, just staring around like she was waiting for someone before she left in her direction. He didn’t mean to watch her, but his curiosity had gotten to him.
She quickly left the room and was rushing to leave when JunJin grabbed onto her bag, causing her to slow down.
“Why don’t you come meet HyeSung and the others with me?” He suggested. He wanted to treat her nicely partly because she was MinWoo’s girlfriend and partly because he had a curiosity about her that needed to be sated.
TaeHee hesitated and tried multiple times to refuse as JunJin dragged her towards the opposite exit, but nothing fazed JunJin. He would make them talk to her again. Why were they all ignoring someone who was obviously so important to MinWoo? He thought they had all made a pact that whoever was cared by for one person of the group would be protected by the rest without being asked to. It was a childhood promise that was to be kept always, which angered him that they didn’t keep.
Eric, Andy, DongWan, and HyeSung were in the back, joking around and sitting on the benches as they waited for JunJin. However, they were in for a big surprise when they saw him dragging a reluctant TaeHee towards them. Everyone but HyeSung tensed up.
“Hey guys,” JunJin said casually. “TaeHee’s going to be spending some time with us. And I invited her to the trip this weekend.”
“What?!” Everyone, including TaeHee, exclaimed.
JunJin smiled. “We’re able to bring a guest right? I thought that since TaeHee is MinWoo’s girlfriend and all, it’d only be right to bring her along. Why have you guys been ignoring her anyways?” He slyly asked.
The guys were extremely uncomfortable with the question. TaeHee saved them by saying, “Don’t worry about it JunJin. I’m sure they have a good reason…” though she did want to know why.
HyeSung smiled. “I have no objections with her going on the trip.”
The others were reluctant, especially Eric. Andy was happy to agree. He had always liked TaeHee, finding her a wonderful friend that he could always count on. DongWan was feeling the same as Eric, afraid that things would get out if they became too relaxed around her.
“Noona, let’s go to our hangout that we used to go to then!” Andy exclaimed, hooking arms with her and pulling her along.
JunJin stared on as everyone started to follow. So TaeHee had used to hang out with them all at the café? He wondered what else she already did with them that he didn’t know of.
--
TaeHee entered the EunBi Café (Silver Rain Café), feeling nostalgia wash over her. A reminiscent smile came to her lips as she silently observed how little it had changed.
EunBi Café was medium sized and very popular. There were few lights and the mood was set with piano music or some soft singing. The walls were collaged with patterns in a way that made it seem like it was going back to the past but still keeping to the present. Everything about the place was comforting and provided a feeling of being at home.
The guys, except JunJin, knew what she was smiling at. The café held so many memories for the group before the chain of life changing events happened to them.
“Well, what do you know! It’s Kim TaeHee!”
She turned to the counter to find Jang WooHyuk. He had been working at the café the day it opened, which was also the day that they all had first come into the café. Since then, they had all become great friends.
“So you’ve finally decided to come visit me,” WooHyuk said with a smile.
TaeHee rushed over and jumped excitedly. “WooHyuk! How have you been? Anything new with the café? How about you and your girlfriend? Tell me!”
It was obvious she missed seeing familiar faces. From where they had taken a seat, Eric felt guilty inside. She knew that they visited this place often, so she stopped coming. They had unintentionally kept her from visiting close friends.
WooHyuk let out a laugh at her childishness. “I’ve been fine! I’m wondering how you’re doing. Ever since MinWoo--” he stopped abruptly when he saw TaeHee’s smile fall. “Oh, never mind. Do you want some hot chocolate? I think we’ve improved it since the last time you’ve been here.”
She nodded her head lightly. “I’d love to have some.”
JunJin watched as she took her time walking over to them. When he saw her face light up with happiness, he knew he’d made the right choice. Then, he smirked. It didn’t take much to cheer the girl up. Just take her to places she and MinWoo went to and she was up and about with laughter and smiles.
TaeHee sat down at the round table and was all smiles. “So, where are we going on the trip?”
“To DongWan’s getaway house,” Andy answered. He wanted to see her reaction, knowing what it’d be already, but afraid she’d crack under the news.
Her smile died a little, but she tried to keep it up. Turning to DongWan, she asked, “Are you having your yearly masquerade party?”
DongWan nodded slowly. “You don’t have to buy a new dress. Just wear what you did last time.” Then, his eyes widened when he realized what he’d said. That wouldn’t help her, but rather, make her remember the events of the party even more!
JunJin glared at his friends. They were being awfully hard to get along with and he suddenly wanted to walk around with just TaeHee. “I’ll buy you a new dress.”
TaeHee protested but HyeSung cut in. “Just get a new dress TaeHee. The old one might not fit anymore.”
That was all that was said on the subject of the party.
--
JunJin and TaeHee walked side by side as the sun was setting in the sky. Silence enveloped them, but it wasn’t awkward. She had come to realize that he was a person of few words compared to MinWoo, who, when in a state of happiness, couldn’t stop talking. Either that or he wouldn’t keep his hands to himself.
TaeHee smirked at this. JunJin and MinWoo were very different but they clashed well together. The two also seemed to be troublemakers from what Andy told her.
Ah, Andy. She had definitely missed the guy. He had always been able to cheer her up when MinWoo got mad at her or was upset about something and wouldn’t talk to her about it. She had also helped him through his tougher times when his ex-girlfriend and he had arguments, which happened daily.
Throughout the time she had spent with them, Eric and DongWan eyed her nervously. She knew they were afraid of something. She definitely didn’t have any secrets to spill…except that one. But maybe JunJin already knew about it. Then again, she wasn’t going to risk it by telling him so openly.
JunJin suddenly asked, breaking her out of her thoughts, “Do you have time now?”
She raised an eyebrow and questioned him silently.
“We’re leaving tomorrow, so I’m wondering if you have time now to go get the dress.”
TaeHee stared at him in disbelief. “What mall is open at this time?”
He snorted. “There are plenty. Even then, they’ll open up for me.”
There it was: the conceitedness. What was it with guys that were rich? Shaking her head lightly, she said, “Fine, let’s go.”
She had already called at the café to tell her mother she’d be home late. Her mother was bursting with joy, chattering and asking questions about who she’d be with and what they’d be doing. It had been a while since TaeHee had actually called home to tell her mother she’d be home late, so she expected it from her mother.
They walked a short distance before reaching a road and waited for JunJin’s chauffeur to arrive. Then, the two were off to the mall.
--
“This one looks nice,” the sales lady pointed out to the two.
JunJin shook his head and continued on. TaeHee lagged behind, extremely tired of looking at dresses. She wasn’t one to dress up for parties. Usually, whatever looked nice, she went with it and was done. No need to linger over choices.
“I like this one,” JunJin suddenly said.
She lifted the dress and her eyes widened at his choice.
It was a black, strapless dress that fell all the way down to her ankles. There was no special design on it except at the top where red and black sparkles were dotted and a long slit on the right that went from the ankle to mid-thigh. There wasn’t anything spectacular about it. In fact, she found it rather plain. The reason she was so surprised was because of the resemblance it was to the dress she had worn to the party before…
MinWoo had led her to every single store, trying to find the perfect dress for her. She was tired and about to fall over.
“Just one last store,” he assured TaeHee.
She nodded tiredly, knowing that MinWoo meant good intentions. He just didn’t want her to go to the party looking like a rich wannabe but at the same time, didn’t want her to not fit in. So they had to look for the perfect dress.
While she sat down in the changing room area and rested herself, MinWoo was busy going through the dresses. Watching him, she smiled, thinking he looked like a fashion designer choosing an important dress for a model to wear for his show. He had such a concentrated look on, one full of determination to get just the right dress.
“I found it!”
He walked towards her to find TaeHee dosing off lightly. Shaking her gently, she opened her eyes and gasped.
It was a strapless black dress that reached down to the ankles. The whole dress was covered with black sparkles that mysteriously shimmered and sparkled whenever she turned or shifted. At the upper left was a pin made of an arrangement of red feathers and black beads. It was a simple dress, but at the same time, marvelously done.
“I love it,” she breathed out.
MinWoo smirked. “Of course!”
Sticking her tongue out at him, she grabbed the dress and ran into the changing room to try it on. Once again, it also fit her almost perfectly. She wondered if MinWoo had magic hands or something.
Walking out of the room, she looked around for MinWoo only to find an empty waiting area. Shrugging, she walked towards the mirror to examine the way it hugged her curves and fell just at the right places. Then, she felt a hand slide around her waist.
“You look beautiful,” he whispered beside her ear.
Turning around, she looked at his suit he was wearing. It wasn’t anything special; just a tuxedo. But he looked awfully dashing in it.
MinWoo quickly turned them towards the mirror and hooked arms with her. The two smiled softly. It was a sight TaeHee would never forget.
“Kim TaeHee,” JunJin called, breaking her out of her thoughts. “What do you think?”
TaeHee shook her head. “Lets…let’s choose something brighter.” I’ll only ever wear a dress so similar for him.
JunJin frowned. “But I think this would be perfect on you.”
She shook her head lightly and gave him a smile. “I-I think maybe something brighter is better.”
He put the dress back reluctantly and followed TaeHee as she skimmed through the racks. A particular white dress caught her attention as she pulled it out and took a look.
It flowed all the way to the floor, something that she might have a bit of trouble walking in, but that didn’t bother her, for the dress was enchanting. It sparkled all around and was tight from the top to the bottom of her torso before it flowed outwards softly. A blue ribbon lined the start of the outwards flow of the dress and thin straps of blue ribbon kept the dress up.
JunJin frowned at her choice. He didn’t particularly like light colors, and thinking about it, she was already pretty pale, so he thought something with more contrast would’ve been better for her.
“It’s too white,” he expressed unhappily.
“But it’s gorgeous,” she exclaimed while spinning the dress around in her hand. “I’ll go have a try.”
JunJin waited outside grumpily and waited for TaeHee to come out.
“It’s getting pretty late. Hurry up,” he called after her. He wasn’t sure how tolerant her mother was with having her out so late. The mall could wait; he cared not for the workers and their time.
“Okay.”
TaeHee walked out, fussing with the straps and adjusting the bottom of the dress. Looking up, she frowned when JunJin remained passive faced. She wasn’t sure whether it looked nice or not by his expression.
“JunJin?”
“We’ll take it,” he said and left her to go to the counter.
TaeHee shrugged and walked back into the changing room. JunJin stood around the corner, his hands clenching up as he tried to keep control.
Of all the girls MinWoo had to choose, why did it have to be her?

SHORT RECAP
“Get out!” She took me by the arm and pushed me out the door, slamming it shut and locked it.
I stood staring at the door in fear. I’ve always been kicked out because they were angry at me, but this…this wasn’t like the other times. They weren’t going to let me in so easily again. With a racing heart and the photos in my hand, I walked towards the stairs. My head had only three names. Han HeeJoo, Lee AeRim, and…Su MeehLah.
Kissed By You || 34
“DON’T YOU TAKE ANOTHER STEP, SU YEKYUNG!”
I stopped and whirled around to see YuHwan’s dark figure walking towards me. “D-don’t try stop me.” I stuttered through my anger.
“I-I’m not,” he quietly replied. “But, this was all planned!” He took the pictures out of my hand and flipped through them quickly. “It’s not you! I’d know you from anywhere, and this looks NOTHING like you. Y-you’re Umma was mistaken.”
“It doesn’t matter!” I yelled. My voice shattered the silence of the night and echoed throughout the spaces. I dropped down to my knees and shook my head. “She won’t believe me.”
With my head hung down as I cried, his knees came into view. He held me while I sobbed into his chest.
“Shh...” he gently stroked my head and patted my back.
His embrace was so comforting. Feeling that comfort reassured me that everything was going to be okay even in this tight situation. My cries ended shortly and I was left with hiccups.
Pulling me away, he looked at me while I tried to quiet down my hiccupping. He grinned. “Now you look even more like a monster,” he joked.
I let out a small laugh and slapped his arm. My hands went up to rub my eyes when he pulled them down. “Don’t, they’re getting puffy.”
My eyes immediately traveled to our entwined hands, making me blush furiously.
“YeKyung ah…”
“…”
“Don’t take it out on them. I don’t want to see you fight anymore.”
I felt like I was in one of those dramas you’d see on television except this was the other way around when the guy would tell the girl to stop fighting and she wouldn’t. It’s was so abnormal.
“H-how am I supposed to just let them off? I-I can’t…I won’t.” I said stubbornly.
A smack on the side of my head made me jump. I rubbed my head in surprise and exclaimed, “what was that for?!”
“For being a stubborn donkey,” he scolded.
My left hand continuously rubbed the spot I’d been smacked. Pouting, I realized we were still in our kneeling stance. Both of us got up and looked at each other, wondering what the other would do next.
At the same time, both of us opened our mouths to speak, but his cell phone beat us to it.
*Doong de doong da lee lee lee
The amount of annoyance I received from that cell phone was enough to make me take it and throw it. Why did he have such an annoying ring tone?!
“Yea? No…not right now! What? Why the fcuk did they do that?! Fine, I’ll be there in ten minutes.” He hung up the phone and ran a hand through his hair while cussing under his breath. “Hey, I need to get going. Don’t you go to HeeJoo or AeRim’s place, understand?”
I grabbed his arm. “Where are we going?”
Putting down his foot, YuHwan shook his head, “You’re not coming with me.”
“I can’t go home.”
“Go to my place.”
“And get raped by your Appa? No thanks.”
He glared at me because he knew there was no other way. I simply smiled. “Fine, but you have to listen to everything I say.”
Nodding my head happily, I bounced along to YuHwan’s quick running. It looked like he was going to kick some butt. I seriously needed to kick some as$ anyways.
--
We arrived in just a few minutes since the two of us were pretty good athletes. I looked around the dark area and shivered. It was located near a school in the back. Curiosity kept poking at me with its stick. I felt the need to run off and explore, but the grave look on YuHwan’s face warned me not to.
“Eun YuHwan.”
Looking forward, I could make out two groups of boys. Realization struck me as I watched YuHwan walk up to the front of one group. The guys behind him were the ones with the colored hair I’d met. I could see JaeHo and WooRi in the crowd, also standing boldly. The other group had more people by the looks of it. More people or not, I knew YuHwan and his friends could beat them down.
I watched their mouths move in fascination. Since I was the jjang at my school, I’d never seen guys fight before. Not in large numbers anyways. All the people at my school were too scared to gang up on me since I'd already proven myself in multiple group gang-ups.
The fight broke out and I quickly brought my hands up to my mouth. It was….brutal. Guys sure have no heart when they let their anger out. I at least had the heart to leave them unscarred, but the way these guys were fighting, it was inevitable that they'd leave their mark.
Just as I was about to turn around, a hand roughly turned me around. The owner of the hand was very familiar. It was So JaeJung.
“Su YeKyung. What a surprise seeing you here.” He smirked.
I pushed his hand off my shoulder and stood before him with my feet planted to the ground. “What the fcuk do you want?” My face scowled just looking at his pathetic as$ self.
He grinned and circled me. “How does Eun YuHwan know you? I’m curious as to why you would even follow him here. You’re no use to him except for making more trouble.”
At his words, I sneered. “Just because I’m a troublemaker doesn’t mean I’m useless.”
He looked me up and down, his eyes wandering to unnecessary places. Feeling very annoyed, I flicked him off and he grinned.
“Now, now, play nice,” he tsked at me.
“Why don’t you go fcuk a dog?” I said carelessly.
“JAEJUNG, JUST GET IT OVER WITH YOU MOTHER FCUKER!” I heard a voice yell from the fight. No one seemed to have heard it. My eyes searched for YuHwan’s figure in the fight. Not a single sight. I felt my heart drop in fear.
JaeJung covered my view and smiled. “Doesn’t this look familiar? But it was…two years ago, wasn’t it? When Gyo SungHwan was in Eun YuHwan’s place while you watched like a pathetic richard simmons.”
My breathing accelerated and I became aware of the situation. They were repeating it. All of it. But how could they possibly know I would come along? Unless this was all unplanned...
“Let him go.” My voice came out small but low with an air of a threat.
“We can’t this time. It’s not that easy. Besides, letting him off this easy would take away our paycheck,” JaeJung said.
“SO JAEJUNG, YOU LET HIM GO,” I screamed.
He smiled. “It didn’t take you that long to break down. Tell me is it true that you’ve become stronger? Or was that all a lie? Because you really don’t look—“
Before he could finish, I kicked him in the face. “Don’t judge me by how I look,” I spat down at him angrily.
Leaving him on the ground and rigidly walked over to the fight, I kept my eyes open for YuHwan's figure. The guys on the floor were mostly the opposing team, but as I looked at the current fight, I could see that they were falling away pretty quickly.
“Gyo SeeDuk!” I yelled loudly in surprise and anger when I saw him among the crowd.
Everyone stopped fighting. I could see how tired hey were, but their fierce competition wasn’t ending anytime soon. It was evident from the glint in their eyes.
SeeDuk grinned when he saw me. Spitting to the side, he said, “Su YeKyung. It’s been quite a while.”
Even after two years, his charismatic smile never seemed to fade from my mind. The jet black hair was still the same, but it had grown a lot longer. His sharp jaw line made me trace them and stop at the small, almost invisible scar that lay near the left of his lip. Ah, his lips. What could you say? It was like God took a cloud and shaped them into human lips to gift him with the ability to give pleasurable kisses. I'd never felt them, but so many girls had talked about it in the past.
I stood beside YuHwan, who looked surprised, like the rest, that I knew SeeDuk. “What are you doing here?” I asked him.
“Just came back for a little visit.”
“What are you doing here,” I asked once again, demanding a worthwhile answer. He never just visited; it wasn't his style.
There were a many great deal of familiar faces. All the faces sneered at me as their minds laughed at how they had broken me in the past. My face hardened and my eyes narrowed to slits of ice. The fists that I had not used in so long were brought back out again as I watched them move forward.
“You know, it’s been quite a while since we’ve seen each other. Aren’t we supposed to get some kind of a welcome back present? Like…a kiss?” He smiled and pointed at his cheek.
I gritted my teeth. Not only did they break me, but they had managed to find out my embarrassing habits and fears.
“Why don’t you go stuff that finger up your richard simmons?” YuHwan barked.
“I’m not hesitating to add another black eye to complete the set,” SeeDuk growled.
“Enough!” I walked away from my spot and stood in front of SeeDuk. “Tell me why you’re here.”
He leaned forward until his mouth was beside my ear. “I’m here because of you.”
Because of our position, YuHwan pulled me away and hid me behind his back protectively. I was grateful for his possesiveness at that moment.
After composing myself, I poked my face out from behind YuHwan and said to SeeDuk, “Don’t pull me into this.”
“Eun YuHwan, let her go,” SeeDuk told YuHwan and ignoring my statement.
“Why should I?”
“I need to talk to her," SeeDuk said as if it wasn't important.
“No.”
I cheered YuHwan on inside my mind. Though he may be a cocky jerk, it helped to have him on my side.
“There are some things her and I need to straighten out.”
“Why don’t you go back from the richard simmons cave you crawled out o—“
I jumped back in surprise. SeeDuk had just thrown a punch at YuHwan’s jaw. I clenched my fist and walked forward. Feeling the anger seethe inside of me, I swung my fist at SeeDuk, but he caught it. I threw my other fist at him which was also caught in his manly hands. My anger flew straight down to my legs as I swung my leg at his, tripping us both. He fell to the ground pulling me along with him.
“You know, I’ve always wondered what your eyes would look like up close,” he quietly spoke causing my breath to get stuck in my throat.
Jumping back onto my feet, I walked away from him. Stopping I shouted over my shoulder, “Leave and take SungHwan with you. You have no business coming back here.”
“I would leave, but I need my business first.”
Spinning around, I angrily screeched, “Your business doesn’t include me!”
“It has everything to do with you.”
“Fcuk, leave her alone,” YuHwan took my arm and pulled me away, leaving SeeDuk to look at our disappearing backs.
Kissed By You || 35
“Hold still,” I told him as I struggled to clean the cuts on his face. There were quite a few, and each time he winced in pain, I winced as well.
“Fcuk, it’s stinging.”
“Duh!”
Finally getting the bandages on him, I plopped down on the bed next to him and sighed. What a day. After seeing SungHwan again, then getting kicked out of my house for false accusations, and seeing SeeDuk again, I was ready to just hide away.
“How do you know Gyo SeeDuk?” YuHwan asked curiously.
“He’s SungHwan’s brother,” I answered lazily.
“But how do you know them?”
There was a pause before I gave him an answer to put out his curiosity. “They were my neighbors until one day, they just left.”
“YuHwan!”
JaeHo walked through the door. “The gang wants to talk to you.”
When JaeHo said gang, it referred to his friends. He wasn't really in a gang, but it seemed that the group of them cause a lot of trouble when they were younger. Now, they only fought to keep up reputations. Other than that, they avoided fighting and most of the time, hung out like other highschool kids.
“Come on.” YuHwan took my hand and pulled me along with him.
Usually, I’m never shy around people, but this was my boyfriend’s friends. It feels so strange calling this cocky jerk my boyfriend but it's starting to grow on me. Guess it wouldn't be bad to name him that, not like we're really going out or anything.
We sat down in front of him; my body closely huddled next to YuHwan’s in fear.
“Hyung, we have a question to ask your girlfriend,” asked a scrawny, but tall kid.
“Go ahead.”
“Noona, how do you know Gyo SeeDuk?”
I sighed. “I met him through SungHwan, his brother. They were my neighbors.”
“Okay, another question.”
“Go ahead.” This was why I wanted SeeDuk and SungHwan to leave. They were bringing up uneccessary facts from the past. I didn't need everyone to find out something as unimportant as them.
“What did he mean when he said his business was you, Noona?”
The whole room was silent with all their eyes fixed on me. I truly didn’t know the answer myself.
“I…don’t know.”
“YEKYUNG!”
The door slammed wide open revealing a pale but angry KyungHee. She stomped in and pulled on my arm. “You richard simmons! How could you fcuking let her off like that?!” She shook me until I felt like my bones were going to crumble in her grasp. “Why didn’t you go over there and shoot her as$! These pictures…these are all fake!” Once she stopped shaking me, she took out the pictures and threw them on the ground. Everyone crowded around them, trying to get a glimpse of what the crazy girl in front of them were talking about.
“KyungHee ah, I know these are fake.”
“So why didn’t you go pound their faces in?!” KyungHee screeched.
“Because I stopped her,” YuHwan answered for me.
KyungHee puffed up her cheeks and walked towards him. While she jabbed at his chest roughly, she shouted, “You fcuking dumb as$! Why in the world would you just let them off like that?! She can’t even go home now because of those sluts. I can’t believe this! This is absolutely unacceptable! YeKyung used to be the most feared and now, all because of little fcuking you, she's becoming weaker and less intimidating!"
“Kim KyungHee.”
We all looked at WooRi, who was standing at the door. He calmly walked towards KyungHee, who was still fuming. When he reached her, she turned away from him and crossed her arms angrily.
“We need to talk,” he said.
“There’s nothing to talk about.”
WooRi became angry and turned her around by her shoulder, “There’s A LOT to talk about!”
“Let me go.” KyungHee squirmed in his grasp while WooRi tried to get her to cooperate.
“No.”
He pulled her into YuHwan’s bedroom and slammed the door shut.
I opened my mouth when YuHwan interjected my objection. “Let them be.”
“Noona!!”
Another surprised as I turned around to see SeungHoo and JungRoo running towards me. Bending down, I gave them both a huge hug.
“What are you doing here?”
“Pretty JungRoo said some really smart words to Ajumma and got her mad, so she kicked us out too,” SeungHoo explained. “But not permanent. We’re going to get you back Noona! We’re going to be detectives and get the real evidence!” He held up his hand and pretended to hold a magnifying glass as he walked around inspecting YuHwan’s friends.
JungRoo rolled her eyes. “I told Auntie that if she didn’t let you come back, I’m not going to stay anymore. Then I started saying bad stuff about MeehLah Unnie.”
I pouted. “How come you call MeehLah Unnie and not me?”
“Because you’re not worth being called my Unnie,” JungRoo stated like it was obvious.
“You…” I growled.
“This girl is ugly Noona! She looks nothing like you!” SeungHoo shouted while pointing at the pictures. “I think Ajumma’s got bad eyesight to not even know her daughter! Noona!!!! Do something with these! They are blinding me," he exaggerated.
I took them away and put them in a folder. “SeungHoo ah, go play with JungRoo in the room—“
“I’m here!”
Once again, we all looked up at ChamSol Unnie’s big arrival. All the guys sat up straight and stared at her with glee. I rolled my eyes. “Dogs.”
They looked confused as I stood up and walked over to her. “Unnie! Great timing. Could you please play with SeungHoo and JungRoo while I get some facts straight?”
“Sure,” she said with a smile.
Taking them by the hand, she led them down the hallway.
“Alright, back to our situation. I don’t want you guys to go near Gyo SeeDuk," I warned YuHwan's friends.
“Then you shouldn’t go near HeeJoo and AeRim," YuHwan retorted.
I frowned. “That doesn’t work.”
“Why don’t you want us to go near Gyo SeeDuk, Noona?” A guy asked from the crowd.
“He’s trouble.”
YuHwan rolled his eyes. “I KNOW he’s trouble. Why do you think we were trying to fight him off? To get him to leave.”
“J-just don’t bother him. Let him finish his business and leave.”
“No.”
“What?” I spun around and glared at YuHwan.
“How can I let him finish his business when his business is you?”
I scratched my head and tried to contemplate what SeeDuk had said. How was I his business? Even if HeeJoo and AeRim sent him, it still doesn’t make sense. The way he said it...there was something more to it.
“I’m going to ask him,” I said and grabbed my coat.
“You’re not going anywhere near him,” YuHwan stood up from his seat and warned.
“Oh yea? Watch me.”
Just as I was about to walk out the door, YuHwan grabbed my arm and spun me around.
“Let me go.” I wiggled around in his grip.
“Are you stupid? He’ll have his whole gang surrounding you in seconds and I’m pretty sure you can’t fight them off yourself.”
“He won’t hurt me.”
“You’re not going.” He firmly closed the argument with those useless but effective words.
I glared at him. “I’m going to go.”
“Then I’m going with you.”
“Fine!” I yelled.
“Good.”
YuHwan followed me lazily as I stomped out of the door leaving his group of friends gaping at us. I was going to find the answer to what SeeDuk was talking about. Only, as I walked in, fear was filling me. Something about his expression was wrong and my gut could feel it.
The world is seriously out to get me, damn it.

Chapter Five -
The next morning, everyone in school loudly whispered as TaeHee passed them. It was the usual gossip about the latest news: HyeSung’s fight with TaeHee. She ignored it and walked into the classroom, which wasn’t any better. They were just as loud about it, not bothering to hide that they were talking about her. TaeHee was surprised to find JunJin already in his seat. She knew his friends didn’t go to class early, so what was he doing already in his seat for class?
JunJin watched as TaeHee set her things down and prepared for class. She didn’t acknowledge him, but he wasn’t going to stay ignored for long.
“Aren’t you annoyed?”
She stopped what she was doing as though she thought she heard something, then TaeHee went back to what she was doing. Now, JunJin was annoyed.
"Hey, richard simmons, I'm talking to you." That definitely got her attention.
"What?" She asked coldly. Really, all she'd wanted was to have a day without her bothersome desk partner bothering her.
"What the fcuk is your problem with me being your desk partner anyways?"
All noises ceased and widened eyes landed on JunJin and TaeHee. JunJin was surprised all the students had heard, because they'd just been causing loads of noise earlier. Now, it seemed like they were waiting for TaeHee's answer.
She knew they were all listening. Though it seemed dramatic, this wasn't something she talked about everyday. Everyone knew that she only uttered it to HyeSung and ONLY HyeSung. Now that the two were in a fight, they wondered if she'd trust in someone else with her secret; the whole actual truth of what happened that tragic day.
When TaeHee turned to face JunJin, he had expected her to look angry. Instead, she looked awfully tormented, like he'd been torturing her with just his presence.
"Please," she begged suddenly. "Ask the teacher for a new seat...please?"
Her begging surprised him as well as everyone else in the class. She'd always resorted to coldly telling the other person they were a bother and that they didn't deserve to sit beside her, which was exactly the b!tchy sort of thing the girls hated her for. But this was completely different. It was like she'd grown tired to guarding his seat and hope was starting to fail her as she watched more and more people pass through.
And JunJin just nodded his head, watching as her body slumped into her arms and she buried her emotions away from others.
The school day was uneventful for the most part. TaeHee slept through most of it while JunJin watched her. He wasn't going to lie. She was so pretty, more so than the female celebrities he'd seen on television. She had beautiful large eyes that just sucked him in whenever he looked into hers. She didn't have a tall nose, but it was still slim. It was a cute one, and he preferred it to those fake, surgery ones. And her lips were full, kissable, unlike certain thin ones. Her hair was a little below her shoulder and it really fit her. He imagined long and short hair would fit her well, for her height and face shape didn't make either looks strange on her. Everything about her looked natural.
With her head in her arms. TaeHee squeezed her eyes shut. She wanted to stop the tears from breaking through. It was hard enough just begging him to move. Being called a betrayer hurt more than anything, but time was starting to take it’s toll. She was growing tired, and her heart couldn’t take much more of the torture she had to go through each day. If MinWoo didn’t show up or contact her soon, she didn’t know what would happen.
Lunch rolled around and TaeHee still didn’t leave her seat. JunJin didn’t either. The two of them sat silently, staring ahead at the chalkboard as all the other students hurried out to the cafeteria or the outside benches.
TaeHee wished he would just leave. It was embarrassing enough to know she had begged him to do something for her. Now he just seemed to want to rub it into her face by taunting her with his presence.
“Who used to sit here?” He asked softly. JunJin understood that the subject was touchy for her after seeing the students’ reactions, so taking a gentle approach was the best and only way.
Though she didn’t show her surprise, her insides flipped and flopped at his question. It was true; she never uttered the answer, his name to anyone other than HyeSung. Saying it to someone else was like telling a secret between friends. TaeHee felt like she’d be sharing a secret between her, HyeSung, and…him.
“It was MinWoo, wasn’t it?” JunJin asked more to himself then to her. He wasn’t stupid. HyeSung’s clues were enough for him to put two and two together. And he also figured something more than just who sat at his current seat. “And you were his girlfriend.”
TaeHee slowly turned her head to look over at him. He was absolutely right, except… “I’m still his girlfriend,” she said firmly.
“Then where is he?” JunJin asked, turning his head to face her.
She bit her lower lip and looked at the chalkboard, answering, “In America.”
So she did know but it seemed they weren’t in contact. JunJin wondered what MinWoo was doing. He may be a bad boy, but he didn’t leave girls like TaeHee hanging on, waiting for his return like he was doing now. JunJin knew there was another reason behind MinWoo’s departure.
“Come have lunch,” JunJin ordered more than suggested.
TaeHee followed along, feeling that she’d be assured he wouldn’t gossip with his friends about how he knew her past if she was with him.
As they walked outside towards the benches, people gossiped and watched them with greedy eyes waiting for a good piece of news. They seemed to always look for chances to make bad of Kim TaeHee.
She walked under the Oak tree, being used to eating at that particular spot everyday. JunJin joined her and raised an eyebrow at her surprised expression.
“Something wrong,” he asked.
TaeHee slowly shook her head. “I’m just used to eating with HyeSung.”
This made JunJin wonder who HyeSung was to her. She seemed to be very close to him, yet she was MinWoo’s girlfriend. Was there some dishonesty going on with the three?
HyeSung saw JunJin sitting beside TaeHee and talking to each other casually like they were friends. It startled him as well as hurt him. Even though they’d fought, he knew TaeHee wouldn’t hold it against him. But he wondered if perhaps she was really angry this time.
When HyeSung approached the two, they both looked up at them with different expressions. TaeHee‘s expression didn’t change from when she was talking to JunJin. JunJin looked a bit angry at him however.
“Are we adding a new member to our little lunch area here?” HyeSung asked as cheerfully as he could.
TaeHee frowned. “Who?”
JunJin and HyeSung looked at her incredulously. Was she acting stupid or did she really not understand what HyeSung was saying.
When HyeSung pointed out with his eyes that it was JunJin he was referring to, TaeHee jerked in realization. “Oh, I thought he just wanted to sit with us for one day,” TaeHee said slowly as to not make JunJin misunderstand her. She didn’t think he wanted to sit with the two for the rest of the year.
JunJin frowned. “Why can’t I sit with you two?”
She shrugged. “I thought you would want to sit with Eric and them all.” Her voice lowered a bit when she said this and JunJin narrowed his eyes at her suspicious behavior.
Seeing this, HyeSung sat down between JunJin and TaeHee and said happily, “So, what’s for lunch?”
TaeHee took out her lunch box and uncovered it. Pulling out a pair of chopsticks, she gave them to HyeSung and the two started to eat slowly. JunJin again frowned when she produced a pair of chopsticks for HyeSung. He inferred that they’d been eating lunch together for a while, because it seemed like a practiced habit when she handed him the chopsticks.
“So, is MinWoo really being replaced?” He angrily asked no one.
HyeSung choked on his food while TaeHee dropped her chopsticks, her eyes wide as she stared at JunJin.
Like he had asked something extremely forbidden, she hissed, “What?!” Without even waiting for him to answer, she stood up and glared down at him. “Who are you to him anyways?!” She demanded.
JunJin chuckled. “Look, sweet heart, I’m his best friend.”
TaeHee frowned. “HyeSung is his best friend.”
HyeSung sighed. “TaeHee ah, remember when MinWoo told us about a really close friend of his over seas? Remember?”
She racked her brain for when the event had happened. He sure didn’t mention JunJin a lot, but she knew there was some time…
”MinWoo ah, hurry up!” TaeHee urged from outside his door.
He chuckled and stopped putting on his shirt when he felt a vibration in his pocket. Pulling out his cell phone, he answered it and was pleasantly surprised to find his best friend, Park JunJin, on the other end.
TaeHee curiously peeked into his room and gasped when she realized he was shirtless. Pulling her head back from his doorway, she pressed her hands against her cheeks to cool down her rapidly spreading blush. Of course, she wasn’t going to lie; she liked what she saw…
Then she realized he was on the phone and happy at that. Usually, whenever he talked to someone on the phone, he was growling unhappily and grunting all the time. She’d tease and say he sounded like an angry dog whenever he was on the phone.
“I’m read--what are YOU doing?”
She jumped in her spot and gave him a sheepish grin. “I was going to check on you.”
“More like peeking,” he said cockily.
TaeHee rolled her eyes and grinned. “You wish.” But then she frowned. “Who were you talking to?”
MinWoo seemed happy that she asked. “Just a very good friend of mine that’s going to school in America. Hopefully you’ll meet him soon.”
HyeSung turned up at that moment, beckoning for the two to follow him and they were off.
“Oh!” TaeHee exclaimed, remembering. “So YOU’RE the guy!”
HyeSung smiled at her excitedness. He remembered that she had really wanted to meet MinWoo’s friend because they seemed close. TaeHee always hungered to know every little fact about MinWoo because he was so different from her; he simply intrigued her. Knowing that TaeHee had given someone other than him a smile ever since MinWoo left comforted HyeSung somewhat.
JunJin stared on, mesmerized. Her smile was really beautiful. Though it wasn’t all out a huge one, it was still there, and he longed to see more of it.
Eric watched JunJin sitting with HyeSung and TaeHee and frowned in worry. It wasn’t good to let JunJin get close to TaeHee. He started to go over towards them when he was held back by a hand. Looking up, he found it to belong to Andy.
“Hyung, don’t you think it’s cruel? Shouldn’t TaeHee Noona have at least more than just HyeSung? It’s going to do no harm. There’s nothing she knows that JunJin doesn’t know.”
Though Eric was reluctant, he gave in. It was indeed cruel what MinWoo had asked of them, but he’d never said JunJin wasn’t allowed to do the same.
So the two went back to the others, hoping, praying nothing was going to do wrong with JunJin befriending TaeHee.

sachiko_x lol, it’s no problem =D
HUAY second the best ;]
xsogorgeliciousx His reasons for cutting off contact will be revealed =) It’s one of the big questions of the story!
fatsoko LOL! I thought you knew all along haha. LeeWan’s sister ;] Yay! lol, I have my story up for critique, but I’m glad you’re giving me good comments on my writing<3
dakoreanhamster yep, things get sort of ehh whenever MinWoo is mentioned.
1tym_kangta I want to write about MinWoo too T__T but it must wait!
mzclumzie LOL. Well, JunJin isn’t stupid. He knows he has to “stalk” to understand what’s going on because no body will tell him. MinWoo’s appearance is the highlight eh? haha.
hunnyl sad drama as well =(
linnienguyen HyeSung could only withstand so much before he burst =\ it’s hard on everyone.
Heyyy Her mom’s just so stubborn ahah.
s0urp@tchk!d lol, nooo, JunJin is wondering what MinWoo is doing. He’s not commenting about HyeSung’s behavior at all. Because of what HyeSung and TaeHee were arguing about, JunJin was thinking to himself what MinWoo did to cause such turmoil between everyone.
kaneki I wanted to express hardships since my stories always have sort of okay families. Except Kissed By You lol. The mom is psycho there =X
Diana It’s like a habit that she just keeps doing. TaeHee can’t stop her habit of doing hwk for minwoo, so she does it for HyeSung to almost “replace” the missing person. My thinking is weird, lol.
FREAKY ALTOIAN Yea! Jaded is a wonderful story! I can’t believe you like this one after Jaded T0T dang<3 lol, that really makes my day!
xodreamer Ah, I hope I don’t make TaeHee too pitiful. Sometimes, when I write, I’m like making a little movie in my head too. So there’s basically a mini drama happening as I write lol.
xjustsweet You understand TaeHee real well =) She hates MinWoo like a jerk yet loves him like crazy.
kimilicious I will tell you that he is going to come back for sure =) That much I’ll say.
baybee || loveLy haha, I can’t make it so crazy yet. Gotta have it sort of okay and then start to pour all the drama on you ;]
mckrazy Welcome! Sure thing!
damn.u It’s a thing where you have to understand both sides =\ Absence can make the heart grow stronger, but it could also have the reverse effect of weakening love too..
cHoCoLo lol, but it gets bad when the other person keeps thinking you’re someone else. Plus, TaeHee lost sleep over the assignment. HyeSung doesn’t want that!
sheLLiJiElUn T__T
imurtomodachi T0T nooo! lol, I don’t like it when people tell me to guess who. Trust me, clues + jenny = stupid. I can’t figure anything out haha.
Sweety_x1 haha, LeeWan is there, but unfortunately he’s not going to play such a big role. Not too much. He’ll be a great supporting role though ;]
Sophi.e* lol, this story is sad xP It’ll be drama/action/heartbreak-filled ahha. As for MinWoo, he will come! He will definitely come. Slowly, they’ll reveal information. Everything’s a big secret in this story because of MinWoo. (lol, the person you want to know most about has hidden himself xD)
minwoo-forever Sure thing!
jamesrascal Yes, there will be more =) As for the replacement thing, others would see it as that, but TaeHee doesn’t want a replacement. She feels troubled when one is replacing another. Of course, old habits die hard, so doing HyeSung’s assignment was like an excuse because she couldn’t do MinWoo’s since he left.
Sarang^DBSG Welcome! I’m glad you’re liking the story so far!
poco_na lol, I hate sounding cliché T__T Originality without stupidity is hard to come by nowadays *sighs*
mizzochan lmao, I hope it’s not too much suspense that I lose support =X aha
whOdatxrasCalx ahha, thanks! I used windows movie maker for that. Takes a while to make scenes go with the music without being awkward though haha.
kiki lol, TaeHee’s sort of lost in her sorrow, so her eyes aren’t seeing things as others do =X I’m glad I’m not wearing out the themes! I thought that repeating the seat, the rebel, and new student and what not might start to get old. x)
LAELA O_O lol, I’m surprised you’re reading my work! Usually, it’s the other way around lol. (wow, I really feel like I’ve improved in writing xP)
Jess lmao, don’t be shocked. It’s like automatically your position<3 As for HyeSung being tough, it’s like…a quiet person finally releasing their emotions, you know? xD
Daisyblu89 Welcome! Thanks for your comment<3 MinWoo’s the best lol~
Ciao.Bella Welcome! hehe, I’m glad you’re in this thread as well. I’m glad that the feelings are being expressed like I wanted them to =D
-SK welcome! lol, I love new readers<3
moochie Welcome! It’s been quite a while since a MinWoo/shinhwa story indeed =)
aznsweetie143 Welcome! lmao, he is definitely the god<3
xx1nonlix Welcome! Thanks! I'm glad you read my other stories xD
Right now, the story is sort of slow, lol. I understand how you all feel. This story is slow to me too, but the mellow and depressing tone works to fit with the storyline of this fiction. Of course, it’s going to pick up ;] As for the questions about learning about MinWoo or his appearance, I have only this to say: MinWoo is the character that told all the other people not to say anything about him. So basically, the person you want to know the most about has purposely hidden himself. Doesn’t this just make you oh so frustrated? =X lol. It’s hard, I understand, but endure it for a little bit more<3

SHORT RECAP
We stopped in front of my apartment complex. Carrying a sleeping KyungHee with SeungHoo and JungRoo following behind me, we walked silently towards my apartment. Of course, I stumbled to hold KyungHee's weight since it's nearly my own if not a little more.
“YAH! OPEN UP!” I banged on the door.
“Who is i—YeKyung!”
I dropped KyungHee and stared at the person in horror.
“Sung…Hwan.”
Kissed By You || 33
My whole body shook as I stared at him. What…what was he doing here?
From behind me, SeungHoo tugged on my shirt. “Noona?”
“J-JungRoo…take SeungHoo inside,” I said shakily. Swallowing the saliva that was accumulating in my throat, I took hold of KyungHee, once again, and pulled her inside, weakly pushing aside SungHwan.
“HWANNIE! COME HERE!”
I looked up at MeehLah who was waving towards SungHwan happily. He hung his head low and skittered over to MeehLah.
So…so that was why you were here. I wonder if it’s possible to hate you any more…
“YeKyung…”
I looked down at the kids. “What?” I said sadly.
“Who’s he?” JungRoo asked as she glared over in the direction where the two disappeared.
“Gyo…SungHwan,” I answered with difficulty.
“I don’t like him.” JungRoo wiggled her nose. “He’s got this…bad aura about him.”
“I don’t like him either Noona! He looks mean,” SeungHoo cried.
“Shut up crybaby.”
“I’m not a crybaby!”
“Are too!”
“Am not!”
“Are too!”
“Am not!”
“Shut up!” I yelled angrily. They both clamped their mouths shut in surprise.
I walked towards the linen closet and caught a glimpse of MeehLah and SungHwan taking pictures.
Only one thought came into my mind from the scene: the pictures would come out great because of SungHwan’s smile. It was the best thing in the world, brightening up even the darkest days. His hair was very different now because it was dyed a bright blue. He didn’t look bad at all. Lots of people I know look horrible in their multi-colored hair colors, but Gyo SungHwan was one that was able to pull it off without a trouble. My eyes took a quick glimpse at how much he had grown. It had been a long time since those sweet honey-brown eyes had laid themselves on me.
Feeling my anger come back, I stomped towards the kitchen with the cloth and drowned it in hot water. Burning myself, I cursed and brought it over to KyungHee, who was looking very pale.
“Stupid idiot,” I mumbled.
“SU YEKYUNG! OPEN UP!”
MeehLah and SungHwan stepped out of the room and slowly advanced into the living room. My face hardened. I walked over to the door, opened it and fell backwards. YuHwan came rushing in after WooRi, who was like a charging bull. He saw KyungHee on the couch and started taking the cloth, furiously dabbing her forehead with it.
“What the fcuk?!” I cursed aloud. I walked over to WooRi and snatched the cloth away. Looking at him with cold eyes, I glared. “What are you doing here?”
“I’m taking care of my girlfriend!”
“OhHo! So now you want to take care of her.” I rolled my eyes and pushed him out of the way. “It’s alright. I’m her LOYAL best friend. I’ll just take care of it for you.”
“Su YeKyung…give him the cloth.”
“No!” I stood up. “He’s the reason why she’s not feeling good. Watch her wake up and fcuking vomit all over the place! My umma’s going to come home and yell at me and tell me to clean up while MeehLah and SungHwan go fcuk the computer!” I yelled. Everyone looked surprised by my sudden outburst. SeungHoo and JungRoo looked at me with huge eyes, almost to the point it looked way too huge.
“I-I’m sorry,” I mumbled. Walking towards my room, I shut the door and locked it.
Gyo SungHwan, why are you back? What could you possibly want with me now...?
“YeKyung.” A knock followed the person’s call.
“Who is it?”
“YuHwan.”
“Go away,” I said.
“Open the door.”
“No.”
“I’ll kick it down.”
“You wouldn’t.” By this point, I was standing at the door talking to him. “What do you want Eun YuHwan?”
“…let me in.”
Tired of arguing, I opened the door and let him in.
SeungHoo and JungRoo sneaked in after him, holding tightly onto the bottom of his sweater. I glared at them but they smiled and held up a “V” sign with their hands. Victory? What for?!
“YeKyung.”
I turned around and stiffened. Glaring very coldly at MeehLah, I opened my mouth and spat, “What do you want?”
“Umma wants to speak to you.”
Clenching my fists, I tried not to look at MeehLah’s face, because my restraint was running thin at this moment. All I wanted to do was punch her face in and cause her a million plastic surgeries.
“YeKyung.”
“Yes, Umma?”
“What’s this?”
She held up my report card. I took one look at it and crumpled it up. “It’s fake.” With that, I started to walk away, trying to keep a cool face even if inside, I wanted to throw everything I saw.
“You—don’t you walk away from me. Come back here now.”
Sitting down at the table, I looked across at her and said straight forward, “Someone sent a fake one. That looks nothing like the real one.”
“How would you know? What if they changed the format of the report card?” My mother retorted.
I banged my fist on the table, unable to keep the anger in. “I’m not failing! Do you know…do you know how easy my classes are? Do you even pay one hint of attention to how well I do in school? Call the school. Call them and ask them how Su YeKyung, a straight A student, despite her attitude, is doing.” By the end of letting out my anger, I was yelling.
“Don’t you dare raise your voice at me!”
We were now both standing, glaring at each other. She was unbelievable. No matter how good I did, she'd never acknowledge it. If MeehLah did better, she'd rub it in my face. How could I possibly call her my mother...how?
“I’m going.” With those simple words, I walked towards the closet to get my coat.
“Stop where you are. You think I’m going to let you off with these grades? These are absolutely unacceptable! You think I’m going to let you live here all your life and not work? Not graduate and become a respected citizen?”
I turned around after putting on my coat. “Yea, I bet you can’t wait till I leave, huh? Then you only have to care for MeehLah. I’m probably too much of a hassle since I’m NEVER home to help you, huh?”
The air had turned ice cold. She and I gave each other looks that only strangers would give each other. This wasn’t what I wanted, but life isn’t fair.
“YeKyung.”
Despite the call of my name, I continued giving her my looks of anger, pain, and sadness. I will never be good enough for her.
“Umma! Here! Look at this.” MeehLah happily ran up to her and handed her a packet of photos. I watched as she opened it and looked up at a frowning MeehLah, though I could tell she wanted to smile.
Umma suddenly looked at me with shaking eyes full of fury. “Y-You’re the one.”
I furrowed my eyebrows. “What?”
“You! YOU INCONSIDERATE CHILD!” She screeched.
Taking a step back, I looked at her with a scared and confused expression. “What are you talking about?!”
By now, everyone had run out, surprised by the sudden outburst. YuHwan gave me questioning looks and opened his mouth as if to question me. However, they were all going to get their answer.
She threw the pile of photos at my feet. I shakily bent down and picked them up. What I saw made me shake all over in anger.
In the photos, there was a person, a girl to be more specific, wrecking Appa’s restaurant. They looked exactly like me from the back. Long, black hair, the same clothing that I wore that day and even the body figure! I looked up at MeehLah and from the smirk on her face, I knew exactly who did it.
“GET OUT! GET OUT RIGHT NOW!” Umma screamed.
“Auntie!” JungRoo ran over and pulled on Umma’s arm. “Don’t! Don’t kick YeKyung out!”
She pushed JungRoo aside roughly causing her to fall. JungRoo let out a small yelp as she watched in horror. I watched as Umma approached me. My whole body was numb and shocked from the photos. All were from the back except one. It was a side profile. And this side profile looked exactly like me.
“Get out!” She took me by the arm and pushed me out the door, slamming it shut and locked it.
I stood staring at the door in fear. I’ve always been kicked out because they were angry at me, but this…this wasn’t like the other times. They weren’t going to let me in so easily again. With a racing heart and the photos in my hand, I walked towards the stairs. My head had only three names. Han HeeJoo, Lee AeRim, and…Su MeehLah.

sachiko_x lol, right? But yea, it is KyungHee’s fault. SungHwan is a new character =)
Ciao.Bella KyungHee was crying because WooRi was flirting with another girl. She doesn’t know that he was doing it to get back at her. See, habits are hard, especially since you don’t usually know you do it; it’s just automatic.

lidool hero You’re back! It’s been quite a while, heh.
moochie It’s alright =) I’m glad you’re back, heh.
xlilxnancyx lol, aren't they? =D
Okay! Let’s clear something up first haha. I guess I didn’t explain too clearly, so here we go again:
KyungHee and WooRi are both sort of like players. There was in one chapter where YeKyung deleted a whole bunch of numbers off of WooRi’s cell phone. They were all these girls’ phone numbers, so we can assume from that that he is a player. KyungHee’s flirting showed up in the first couple of chapters when they first met YuHwan. She was like ‘who are those cute guys’ and all. It may seem normal, but the last chapter just made it more definite that she’s sort of a player. So, like any habit, it’s hard for them to control. WooRi is lucky to be able to not be as much of one as KyungHee is. Anyone who may bite their nails when nervous, it’s something that can’t be controlled. You do it unconsciously. That’s KyungHee’s habit of flirting. Though she knows who she really likes (WooRi), the flirting sometimes just pops out on it’s own and she has to go along or she’ll look like an idiot who just flirted and then walked away lol.
Also, she didn’t plan on WooRi seeing that since it just popped out of her. When he saw her flirting, he decided to get her back (because he thought she did it on purpose or was just playing around with him) and flirt with another girl. KyungHee saw this and got upset so she went to drink and got buzzed.
Long enough explanation for you all? lol, I hope no misunderstandings are created from this longer explanation. They’re both innocent and guilty at once =)
And in this last chapter, SungHwan wasn't explained any further. This is done on purpose. You will find out who he is as the chapters go by. So keep your eyes open ;]

I'm excited for this drama! JaeHee's back<3 and KJH might be or is it definite? =D

Chapter Four -
HyeSung stomped through the school holding a couple of stapled sheets of paper in his hand. Everyone in school stared at him like he was a monster. Shin HyeSung didn’t usually throw tantrums. If someone really pissed him off, then they’d see his infamous death glare.
He turned his head at a couple of gossiping girls and they shut up, eyes wide and body trembling. Without a warning, he slammed the door to TaeHee’s homeroom open. All eyes turned to his, questioning his intention. HyeSung pushed his way through and stood beside TaeHee, who stared ahead at the chalkboard and ignored his presence. JunJin noticed the way he was glaring down at TaeHee however and was about to interrupt when TaeHee suddenly stood up from her desk and glared back at HyeSung.
“You’re interrupting my class,” she said softly.
“KIM TAEHEE!” HyeSung bellowed.
Everybody turned back to their work except for JunJin. They knew it wasn’t wise to get onto HyeSung’s bad side while he was letting his anger out.
“Come with me,” he growled and roughly pulled TaeHee out of the classroom.
Immediately, all heads raised and started to gossip. They'd never seen HyeSung angry with TaeHee before. The two had always gotten along fine without bickering. Some girls laughed gleefully that TaeHee was going to finally get what she deserved and that HyeSung would be free. Others pitied the girl for she was about to lose one of her last remaining friends.
Outside, HyeSung had roughly sat TaeHee down at the closest bench once they reached outside. She remained impassive and just looked off to the side while he paced before her angrily.
Though many saw it as his anger aimed towards her, he was angrier at what she did than what she might’ve said. So many times he had told her to not make up a project for him yet she did it. He knew she was just used to it since she always had to do it for MinWoo, but HyeSung wanted TaeHee to know that he wasn’t MinWoo. He was Shin HyeSung, another person who was completely different from MinWoo in many ways.
Letting out a frustrated scowl, HyeSung forced TaeHee to look at him. “TaeHee, why did you write the essay?!”
“Because you weren’t going to be able to hand it in on time,” she answered casually like it was as simple as that.
He ripped his hands away from her shoulders like it burned and glared at her. “I’m tired of this. Do you think I’m MinWoo? Do I look or act like him in anyway?”
TaeHee’s head jerked and she looked into his angry eyes. “What are you talking about?”
“I know why you do my assignments. You never used to do them for me. Why? It’s because MinWoo isn’t here and don’t you even try to tell me it’s not. What right do you have to treat me like him, Kim TaeHee? Do I look like I need you?”
He knew he was going overboard. She was already breathing hard and he knew she was about to blow up.
“Don’t try to replace him TaeHee.” And that did it.
She got up and gave him a single, resounding slap across the face. It was hard enough to make his head jerk all the way to the side and his hair to fly along with him. He winced.
“There you go assuming things again! Why would you think I’m trying to replace him? There’s NO ONE that could possibly replace him!”
HyeSung retorted by saying, “Are you sure about that? Because JunJin sure seemed to be real comfortable in MinWoo’s seat.”
Her eyes filled with tears, unable to believe the accusations HyeSung was saying. He was supposed to understand her, not think of her actions as this. Shaking her head, she turned away and ran without looking back.
HyeSung threw the A+ paper he was holding in his hand and angrily yelled to the sky.
From behind a wall, JunJin stood in shock. MinWoo…what was he doing?
--
TaeHee screamed out at the river before collapsing onto her hands and knees. She was so tired of everything, of living. Maybe MinWoo really did leave her. Perhaps he couldn’t break it to her and just decided to leave her hoping and knowing he’d come back when he really wouldn’t.
Roughly shaking her head and sending the tears at the corners of her eyes everywhere, TaeHee mentally scolded herself. She wouldn’t think like that. MinWoo would never do that to her.
Sitting down on her legs, she took deep breaths and looked out as the sun started to slowly set. School most likely had let out by now. Slowly getting back onto her feet, TaeHee grudgingly made her way home.
It was already dark when she reached her home. She lived in a small apartment with her mom and brother. There were three separate rooms luckily, a small bathroom, a kitchen, and a little living room. Not that they needed much space.
TaeHee wasn’t surprised to find the door unlocked. Her mother usually left it unlocked for her since she forgot her key so much. Not like anyone was going to break in since they had nothing worthy of being stolen. They didn’t even own a television.
Her mother and brother were sitting at the dinner table eating already. When she came in, they both gave her huge smiles. She gave them a small one. Since MinWoo had left, she’d only been able to give her family true smiles. All the other times she’d just put on fake ones.
“How was your day honey?” Her mother asked in concern.
MinWoo had met her family before he’d left. They never blamed him for leaving because they knew he needed to do as his parents ordered or he’d never be able to see TaeHee again. It’d been just as tough for them to watch TaeHee going through such a tough time, but they were a family and it was all about supporting one another.
“Fine,” she answered shortly.
“Noona, are you feeling sick?” Her brother, LeeWan, asked. He was a highschool student and younger than her but he always went into big brother mode when she was around. She felt blessed to have such a great family.
“No, I’m fine.”
“Well, go change and come have dinner,” her mother urged.
TaeHee complied with her mother’s wishes and went to her room. She threw off her uniform and put on a comfy pair of sweats and a large t-shirt. Then, she walked out and sat down at the dinner table next to her brother. The three ate in silence at first, just enjoying the food before their mother started to speak.
“I got the job today,” she announced happily.
However, her children were far from happy. She was already working two jobs and this was her third. LeeWan was the first to speak.
“Mom, you already have so many jobs! Why did you get another one?!”
“Yea, I agree with LeeWan mom. You don’t need to get another job. I could get one,” TaeHee suggested, to which LeeWan nodded his head.
Their mother shook her head. “You need to study dear. Don’t worry about work; I’ve got it covered.”
The two wanted to bring up the subject again, but kept it to themselves. What could they do? She would just assume they didn’t appreciate her help and get angry at them.
Ever since their father left them with another woman, the children had watched their mother suffer. Depression was the first. She’d refused to look at them, especially LeeWan. He only reminded her of their father and it hurt. Later, she buried herself under her work, but started to fail and got fired. No other large company wanted to hire her, and so they had to move out of their house and into the apartment. Their mother took up smaller jobs that were still good paying and stable. It’d been tough, but her happiness slowly returned when she saw that the people she worked with were much better than the old friends she had had. It was also because of meeting MinWoo that their mother became much livelier. MinWoo seemed to have brought her hope that even the fortunate wish for a simpler life; one more towards the middle class or even the lower classes. So she became content with what she had and instead, back to her normal self of pushing her children to becoming great people no matter what kind of conditions they lived in.
“Remember to go to sleep early! I have to leave early in the morning, so I won’t be able to wake you two up,” she reminded the kids as they walked off to their rooms.
They both answered her before walking into their own rooms and shutting the door gently.
TaeHee sat down at her bed and gently picked up the picture of her and MinWoo at Lotte World. They were both so carefree. It had been a wonderful day full of letting go and forgetting life’s troubles.
In a whisper, TaeHee said, “I miss you.” And she got under the covers and slept with her face towards the photo.

sheLLiJiElUn Yep!
Diana lol, it’s hard =\ but yea, I don’t usually write sad stories, or at least I try to avoid it because I feel so bad when the ending comes out tragic :X LOL. Readers all start wishing I wrote it another way and all haahha. And I do feel bad for killing or doing whatever sad to my characters even if they are fictional LMAO. It’s a strange conscience I have.
HUAY lol, I wish I had someone like that too *sighs* And thanks for clearing that up about the yah/ah thing at the end! I never paid attention to that, but now I know why =X haha. Learn something everyday xD And thanks for the advertisement<33 you’re awesome ;]
mizzochan It’s mind boggling now, but when things are all cleared up, it’s a headache lol. And you don’t have to strive for creativity! I know what you’re trying to say ;]
kimilicious Well, it’s hard. JunJin or MinWoo? It’s TaeHee’s choice to love or hurt. lol, that’s why this is sad instead of those comedy love triangles xP
xjustsweet lol, I want to write about MinWoo too, but it’s going to have to wait T__T
iamkt yep yep!
linnienguyen lol, he’s sort of a strange character eh?

kiki lol, it’s true though! JunJin is sort of an awkward character right now because he doesn’t know what he’s stepping into (neither do you readers ;]). lol, as for HyeSung’s role in this story, it’s a little different from what you think haha. But it’s a sad story…not happy a lot. There are few moments, maybe part II, that’s a bit more cheery haha. And I love your sig! That photo shoot of Kim TaeHee’s was stunning<3
Sophi.e* Well, when you find out why her teachers let her skip without punishing her, you’ll understand why. It’s partly the teacher’s fault, but maybe you could call it fate… ;]
jamesrascal lol, your heartbreak sensor is right =X we’ll just see how much heartbreak is in this!
poco_na ah, the parents. It’s not going to be a big factor in this story because that’s too cliché haha. I’m sticking to as much originality as possible.

SHORT RECAP
I gave the Ajumma the money for the balloon and pulled on SeungHoo. “SeungHoo ah! Let’s go meet JungRoo!”
“Is she nice Noona?”
“At times, yes.”
“Is she smart?”
“Unbelievably smart.”
“Is she pretty?”
“Adorable.”
“Can I marry her?”
“Y—What?!” I stopped and looked down at SeungHoo. YuHwan had an amused look on his face as he stuffed his hands in his pockets.
“I’m sorry Noona, but I can’t marry you! You’re too old for me. I still love you though!”
I smacked my head. This kid is beyond weird. He doesn't even know what she's like and already, he wants to marry her.
“SU YEKYUNG!”
Oh no, who’s calling me now?
We all slowly turned around and SeungHoo let out a loud excited scream as he ran towards JungRoo.
Kissed By You || 32
“NOONA! Noona, look at her! She’s so pretty!” SeungHoo jumped around JungRoo while she tried to shoo him away with her hand.
“YeKyung! Get this pest away from me,” JungRoo ordered. She was clearly annoyed from SeungHoo's hyperness.
Hearing JungRoo's rude command, SeungHoo stopped jumping around her. When I turned to face him, I could see him looking at JungRoo with tear-filled eyes. “D-d-do you n-not l-l-like me?” He whimpered.
I smacked JungRoo’s head and comforted SeungHoo. “Don’t give what she said a second thought. She wasn’t taught manners.”
JungRoo glared at me. “Same goes for you!”
“I don’t care. She’s pretty.” SeungHoo wiped his tears and gave her a big smile. She looked away with a disgusted face and crossed her little arms.
“I only hang out with people who stimulate my mind,” JungRoo stated.
I put my hands on my hips and frowned. “And who would that be? A three month baby?”
“No, actually, I have lots of friends thank you!”
”Sure, whatever.”
“Su YeKyung.”
I looked away from the two arguing kids to see YuHwan’s cell phone in front of me. Looking at YuHwan's face told me it wasn't good news. “What?”
“KyungHee wants to talk to you.”
Cautiously, I put the phone to my ear and spoke into it. “KyungHee?”
“Heh…Heh…YEKYUNG AH!”
Cringing, I held the phone at arms length and rubbed my ear. She’s going to pay for that.
“What?! Where are you? It’s so damn loud!”
“Exotica! We’re at Club Exotica! Come quicklyyyy~~” She hung up the phone after her ‘quickly’ turned into a long, shrill note.
I handed the phone back to YuHwan, “KyungHee’s drunk. Where’s WooRi?”
He shrugged and stuffed his hands into his pockets. When I looked over at JungRoo and SeungHoo, the two were bickering. JungRoo was trying to pry her arm from SeungHoo's grasp while he excitedly told her he knew a good place to go play.
“Kids!” I barked.
They stopped bickering and looked up at me with wide and annoyed eyes.
“We have to go get KyungHee. She’s out getting herself buzzed," I told them and turned around. Under my breath, I mumbled, "It’s not even evening yet!”
We hailed a taxi and jumped into it, hurrying the fat taxi driver to get us to the club before KyungHee did something stupid. When we reached the club, the taxi driver was heated and ready to hit us all with a club.
“Here! Get out, now, now, now!” He yelled with a face that was rapidly turning a reddish tint.
We stumbled out and I threw the bills at him through the window. He sped away while yelling curses at us and his job.
“Kim KyungHee!” I yelled over the loud music in the club. It was odd that this club would be so full during the day. Very odd indeed.
“Su Ye-Ye-AHAHHA!”
I looked over to the corner. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw YuHwan stomping over to the dance floor, his hands forming a fist. Leaving him to his business, I walked over to KyungHee with the two kids at my side. I was worried that we’d get caught since I had gotten in through the back door.
“What…what is this?!” I pulled the half filled soju bottle from her. When looking on the table, I could see that she had several other bottles before as well.
“Celebrating! Oh, celebrating is joy.” She sang her song sloppily and unorganized. The words didn’t even make sense through her mumbling and tears. I had to clench my fist to slap some sense into her.
“What the fcuk is this?!” I yelled at her. One moment, she was happily skipping around with WooRi and the next, she's getting drunk like she was dumped.
SeungHoo tugged on my hand, fear creeping into his heart. I watched as he hugged my leg and looked back and forth at the loud neighboring people. To calm his nerves, I placed my hand on his back and hugged him lightly.
“Get up,” I ordered KyungHee, who was slumping in her booth.
She lazily got up and stumbled out of her seat with a clumsy smile and tears still streaming down her face.
“Where’s WooRi?”
All of her stumbling stopped and her eyes suddenly flashed a look of anger and pain. She smiled and let out a despairing laugh. “Choi…Woo…Ri? Hah, that bastard, that fcuking jackas$."
The words she spoke made no sense. They hadn't even been going out that long (not even a day!) and suddenly they're having problems already?! Looking for WooRi, I turned around and searched the dance floor. I spotted YuHwan walking towards us, dragging somebody. That somebody was Choi WooRi.
Once he was near us, I grabbed his collar and slammed him against the wall. “What the fcuk did you do to KyungHee?” I hissed menacingly.
He seemed unfazed by my actions. Instead, WooRi simply glared at me with the coldest eyes I had seen on him yet. Opening his mouth, he said in a low voice, “Let me go.”
I let him go, not because I was afraid of him, but because I was disgusted. Kim KyungHee had never let anyone come close to her. And here, one guy managed to ruin her already in one day.
Grabbing KyungHee’s arm, I pulled on her. “Let’s go.”
We were able to catch a taxi after many others sped past us. Putting KyungHee in first, I let the kids climb in before going in myself. I took one look at the club entrance, hoping YuHwan would straighten WooRi out. Whatever was going on between these two, we had to fix it since they were too stubborn to apologize.
“Ohh, I once had a kitty! Her name was mittens! We used to go play in the snow~~. But my mittens got lost! Because she was white! So now, I’m all alone~~” KyungHee sang loudly.
“Ugh, Noona! She’s so horrible!” SeungHoo whined with his hands over his ears.
“And stinky!” JungRoo pinched her nose.
“Stop complaining.”
“Stop here Mister,” SeungHoo chirped cutely to the taxi driver.
We stopped in front of my apartment complex. Carrying a sleeping KyungHee with SeungHoo and JungRoo following behind me, we walked silently towards my apartment. Of course, I stumbled to hold KyungHee's weight since it's nearly my own if not a little more.
“YAH! OPEN UP!” I banged on the door.
“Who is i—YeKyung!”
I dropped KyungHee and stared at the person in horror.
“Sung…Hwan.”
--YuHwan's SidePOV
Angrily, I dragged WooRi out of the club. He shook himself out of my grasp and tried to play it cool by stuffing his hands in his pockets.
"Yah! SunShine."
He turned his head to me and glared. "What? You're going to take your girlfriend's side and ditch your friend now?"
The urge to punch him was growing stronger, but I held it in. "You know I don't take sides. Now, what the fcuk did you do to KyungHee? This isn't like you."
He let out an angry chuckle. "KyungHee's a lot different from who I thought she was."
"What the fcuk is that supposed to mean?" I asked.
WooRi didn't answer me straight out. He just stared down at the ground in deep thought. However, I needed to fix this growing rift between the two.
"Choi WooRi, what did Kim KyungHee do that was out of the ordinary?"
He lifted his head and said, "She's a player. All she did the moment we walked into the karaoke bar and this club was flirt. I thought it was just joking at first, but she doesn't didn't stop."
It was surprising that KyungHee flirted so much, but then again, she had always been the girlier one of YeKyung and her. At first meeting I could tell she picked boys up like bags. However, when being compared to WooRi, I knew they were fit for each other.
Walking over to WooRi's side, I raised an eyebrow, "And this is different from you how?"
He looked up at me with surprised eyes. Of course it would surprise him. He'd never met anyone like him. Now, he felt how all those girls had whenever he pulled his player ways on others.
I patted his back. "There's a first time for everything. But you know, it takes someone who knows the ways to change one with the same ways. Only you can fix this bad habit of hers."
WooRi grudgingly nodded his head. We headed towards YeKyung's while he talked about his date with KyungHee leaving out the moments of jealousy.

So yea, SeungHoo and JungRoo didn't know each other before. As you can see, in this chapter, they just met each other. She's not particularly excited about him, but he sure is, hehe.
And to clear something up before you all ask questions: KyungHee and WooRi had mistaken each other. He saw her flirting multiple times and got angry. Since he got angry, he decided to play her back and flirt with other girls which hurt KyungHee. Got it? =)
I hope you guys enjoy that chapter! And hopefully you all had a good New Years! I sure did<3

Chapter Three -
TaeHee slowly dragged her feet back to class. The teachers would understand her need to skip class and not question her, though they'd still mark it down. They just wouldn't give her a lecture, something she was glad for.
When she stood at the entrance to the classroom, TaeHee looked at the spot where she sat and the empty seat beside it. A loving smile came to her face as she remembered the day he'd appeared in her life...
All the students were buzzing around wildly. Some of the girls had caught sight of the new male student riding on a motorcycle to school. The girls in the classroom squealed and got to work on caking beauty enhancements onto their faces. TaeHee, the class president, watched everything with raised eyebrows.
"TaeHee ah!" One of her friends called out. "Did you hear about the new guy? He's supposed to be really good looking."
TaeHee smiled lightly. "That's nice."
At her response, her friends scoffed. "You're never interested in any guy! It's starting to make me wonder if you're a lesbian, Kim TaeHee."
She once again, just smiled. "School is all I need right now."
"Nerd," she heard her friend mumble.
In retort, she said back, "richard simmons."
But these weren't insults. They were just normal friends teasing each other. Being so different yet somehow able to maintain such a friendship was one of the rarest sights in their school. Of course, TaeHee didn't consider them her "best" friends. She never really had a friend important enough to her to gain such a title.
The teacher walked in and everyone scrambled to their seats, still whispering in excitement. Notes were being passed around as the teacher talked and each person gasped louder and louder at the things they read. When the note landed in TaeHee's hands, she opened it and nearly burst out in laughter. Some of them were pretty air headed comments. Others got her wondering what the girls had been reading to make their hormones so…excited.
"Mr. Lee MinWoo, please come in."
And that was the first time she saw him. He wore his uniform in a sense that screamed rebel. Over his shoulder hung his school bag, his ears were pierced on both sides and one on the cartilage. His hair was a bright blond and his skin was pale, something that went against his looks yet worked so well. He chewed a piece of gum in his mouth loudly and stared at the teacher, waiting for the next instructions.
"Go sit next to Kim TaeHee."
She raised her hand slowly, afraid that her whole body might follow. Inside, she felt sort of giddy to have this person sit next to her. But at the same time, the thought of some trouble maker sitting beside her interrupting her studies made her uncomfortable.
Seeing her hand raise, MinWoo walked over in a unique walk that only made the girls swoon. Though he wasn't tall, he had this charm that made you want to just fall into his arms so that he could wrap them around you.
He took a seat beside her and let his bag fall onto the ground beside his seat. No more words were said regarding his arrival, though many girls in class were unfocused because of him.
Throughout the classes, TaeHee noticed he did nothing but sit in his seat, twirling his pencil between his fingers. At times, he would take a nap or sometimes lean his head back and do random antics to the people around him. TaeHee found this amusing and sometimes stopped to watch him, but quickly turned away when he looked over at her.
It was only during their third class that MinWoo had decided it was time to bother his desk partner.
"Hey," he'd called out softly and nudged her arm lightly.
TaeHee didn't respond at first, too deeply concentrated on the math problem before her. When he nudged her the second time, harder, she finally lifted her head and turned to look at him.
MinWoo didn't say anything at first, just seeming to want to stare and inspect her over. TaeHee wiggled in her seat uncomfortably, tipping him off that he should stop. He finally gave her a small smile, which she gave back reluctantly and only for a few seconds before returning back to her work. While she worked the problem, she could feel him staring and it made her unable to concentrate. There just seemed to be a whole bunch of numbers scrambled all over the page.
Finally, she turned towards him and whispered, "Stop staring at me."
"Why?"
"Because I can't concentrate!" TaeHee frowned at the guy. He knew very well what he was doing but he tried to play the innocent act.
Right when he was about to answer, the teacher called out their names. "Kim TaeHee, Lee MinWoo, what are you doing?"
All eyes in class turned to them and they smiled sheepishly. When everyone turned back to the front, TaeHee gave him a menacing glare and went back to her work leaving an amused MinWoo to continue watching her.
From afar, JunJin watched TaeHee looking into the classroom with a soft smile on her face. Her smile and eyes were filled with so much emotion that he wondered what she saw in the room that made her look like so.
But the image of rarity was broken when someone shoved TaeHee aside to get into the classroom. Her smile disappeared and her eyes went back to that dull brown. She walked into the classroom without any of the emotions she held earlier. JunJin went into the classroom after her and walked at the same speed as TaeHee. They both got to their desks at the same time, but TaeHee refused to acknowledge him.
As she got out her books for the next class, TaeHee could feel her hands trembling and her heart clench. She didn't realize how hard it was for her to give up his seat to some stranger that might be his friend or not. Even then, she couldn't accept another person sitting in his spot. But before she could say anything to JunJin about his taking someone else's seat, TaeHee let out a large yawn indicating her much needed sleep.
Pulling herself close together, she buried her head in her arms and slowly closed her eyes, oblivious to the watching eyes of her classmates. And slowly, she drifted off to sleep and into a place where she could only visit in dreams.
(start of dream)
All around her were flowers of different colors. She twirled around with a radiating smile on her lips. But her twirling stopped when she saw an image of him and herself standing near a bush of Gardenias.
As her flowing feet took her towards the scene, her heartbeat grew louder and beat faster.
He took her hands in his and smiled softly. She'd always remember his smile that day. Usually, his smiles were of overflowing love and undefined happiness, but that day, it took on the form of one being ripped from everything he knew.
"TaeHee ah," he started. "You know I love you right?"
She gave him a small smile, a blush lightly staining her glowing cheeks. No matter how many times she heard it from him, she'd always get butterflies.
He chuckled and pulled her into his embrace. She automatically wrapped her arms around him, squeezing tightly. Her heart swelled with love as she deeply inhaled his scent that wrapped softly around her.
"If I had to leave, would you hate me?"
TaeHee's smile slipped away and she was about to pull back when his grip around her tightened.
"Where are you going?" she asked.
Nothing could be heard but the rustling of the trees and grass as the wind blew by them. She thought he didn't hear her and was about to ask again when he sighed softly in her ears.
"I'm going to study in America."
TaeHee bit her lower lip and chewed on it as she thought about what he'd said.
"Will...will you come back?"
He pulled back from her but kept his hands on her arms. Giving her one of his famous smiles, he said, "Of course. I'll always come back for you. When I become a filthy rich business man, I'll come back."
She giggled and slapped his arm lightly. "You know I hate rich people."
He laughed. "But you do know I'm rich, right?"
She smiled. "You're not rich. Even though your parents always give you the money, you just give it away."
A moment of peaceful happiness passed over them before he grabbed her closer. Stroking her hair softly, he said, "Remember me TaeHee. I'll come back in someway. I'll find my way back. If I have to, I'll quit college, run away from home, and come back to you."
She thought it strange the way he said these things, but decided to let it off as him being weird again. Hearing her soft laughter, he smiled.
"Saranghae," he whispered.
"I love you too..." She whispered back.
Suddenly, everything seemed to crash around her. The scene she was watching shattered like millions of pieces of a mirror and the color poured out like ink, turning from varieties of the rainbow to black and red. Her breathing quickened as the ink started to crawl towards her, taking on a life force as it stretched and tried to drown her in its grasps.
"No, no, go back!" she cried.
It quickly pulled her into its body of emptiness, burying her up to her shoulders, her chin, crawling to above her head.
"NO!" She screamed, her voice echoing in the abyss.
(end of dream)
"MINWOO!" She screamed, jumping up from her seat and breathing roughly.
JunJin jerked his head upwards to look at her horror stricken face. Of all the names she had yelled out, he'd never expected THAT particular one to leave her lips. But everyone in the classroom stared on at her in pity. They knew about her relationship with Lee MinWoo. He'd been such a trouble maker yet TaeHee seemed to do something to him that slowed him down and study a bit more. Meanwhile, his attitude had rubbed off on her, making the once ever studious class president want to do more daring things like skipping class or playing hookie. Everyone in school knew of their misfortune except for the new students. Whenever people asked about it, people explained in whispered voices, knowing full well the effect it would have on TaeHee if she heard it repeated; to relive the pain all over again.
Her history teacher cleared his voice and softly suggested that TaeHee go sit outside of the classroom for a moment. She nodded her head shakily and slowly walked out, holding onto the walls for support.
Though the teacher had said to sit outside, she kept walking away from the classroom towards the exit to the back of the school. However, she didn't make it, collapsing right before the exit and burying her head in her arms which were wrapped around her knees. Her body trembled violently as she tried to hold back the sobs that fought their way through.
It had been so hard when he left. Nothing seemed to be the same anymore. All the contact information he'd given her had turned out to be false and she'd begun to wonder if he was breaking it off. And that was the thought that broke her heart each and every single day.
JunJin, breaking out of his stupor, got out of his seat loudly and left the classroom to look for TaeHee. Since she collapsed not too far away from where their classroom was, he didn’t have to do any looking, What made it hard to approach her, however, was that she was crying. He wasn’t good with comforting people and their tears and he hated having a crying girl on his hands to deal with.
Still, crying or not, he had to know what happened to MinWoo. If this girl had any ideas about his whereabouts, he wanted to know. With stiff steps, he walked up to her and stared down at her as she continued to sob her heart out.
“Kim TaeHee,” JunJin called out. She didn’t move. A little more forcefully, he called out her name only to get no response. Finally, being the impatient person he was, he lifted his foot and lightly tapped it against her side near the rib area. TaeHee jumped at something touching her side and abruptly lifted her tear stained face to see JunJin standing over her with an annoyed expression. "Stop crying," he ordered gruffly. TaeHee sniffled and ceased her sobs, but looked up at him in surprise. What kind of guy comforted a girl by ordering her to stop crying? Was it even a form of comfort?!
"Get up and come with me," he ordered her again. She didn't know what possessed her to listen to him. Maybe it was the fact that he hung out with MinWoo's friends that comforted her. Or that he acted like MinWoo in some small ways.
As she followed him outside to sit down at the benches in front of the basketball court, TaeHee nibbled on her lower lip in nervousness. She wondered if he wanted to talk about her giving him an attitude about being her new desk partner. Her answer would be clear though, no doubt about that. It was just that he seemed extremely frustrated about something which didn’t make sense to her. Surely not having a nice desk partner didn’t matter that much to him. He had better friends than her anyways.
JunJin leaned forward with his elbows resting on his thighs. He wanted to ask her straight out, but she might still be sensitive to his name and he really didn’t want to have to put up with that again. Instead, he tried for a more casual approach. Before he could say anything though, TaeHee had gotten up out of her seat abruptly.
With cold eyes on his confused figure, TaeHee stated icily, “I think it’s best if you tell the teacher you want a new desk partner. I’m not in the mood to deal with your questions.”
And she left just like that, leaving him gaping at her disappearing figure.

SHORT RECAP
I sighed. Then, to avoid the question, I asked, “SeungHoo, where’s your halmoni?”
For the first time since I met him, his eyes lost their sparkle and slowly filled with tears. “Noona…halmoni left.”
Kissed By You || 30
“W-what?”
He looked up at me and his lips looked like they were going to burst with a wail. “S-she said be a good boy and take care of you, YeKyung Noona. Noona! Where did Halmoni go?!”
I gathered him in my arms and angrily glared at the empty cups of ice cream.
SeungHoo’s parents were never around to care for him, so his Halmoni was all he had. I had met him when I was swinging on the swings. He was only six years old then. When I helped him find his way home, his halmoni became grateful and requested I become his friend. She explained the situation to me and I instantly took the boy to heart. It had become apparent that I needed to help him toughen up by the way he acted. In this world, innocence can’t be kept innocence forever. I had learned it the hard way.
“SeungHoo, who are you staying with now?”
He wiped his tears and sniffled. “Umma and Appa came home.”
I froze. “W-when are they leaving?”
“I don’t know. Noona!! Where did halmoni go though?!”
Shifting him in my arms to a better position, I answer, “She went to a better place SeungHoo. She’s on a very long trip.”
“Will I see her again?” He asked with large, hopeful eyes.
“Of course you’ll see her again. She’s waiting for you.”
“I want to go see her now!” He bounced off the bed and took YuHwan’s and my hand. “Let’s go!”
I shook my head sadly. “SeungHoo, she doesn’t want you to come see her yet.”
He let go of our hands and, once again, tears filled his eyes. “Does halmoni hate me? W-was I a bad boy?”
“No, no," I assured, "She wants you to grow up first.”
He nodded and sulkily sat back on my bed.
“SeungHoo?”
I looked up at the door and found a young lady in a long black skirt and a professional white blouse with black, square framed glasses resting on the bridge of her nose. “SeungHoo! I told you not to talk to strangers. Come here now.”
“Umma! This is YeKyung Noona!” He hugged me around the neck. I hugged him protectively. This woman, she showed no emotion, no care towards her son. I had heard of the many things her and her husband and done towards SeungHoo. My cold glare didn’t go unnoticed because YuHwan frowned at me.
“Miss, if you would please give me my child. I don’t have time to play; I have a family to feed.”
I glared. “It’s alright; I’m a close friend of his. He can stay with me.”
She pursed her lips together and tightened her grip on her purse. Then, she pushed her glasses up in a gesture that gave away that she was a strict woman.
“Umma! Can I? Can I please stay with Noona?!”
“No.”
SeungHoo’s smile disappeared and he looked down at the bed sheets. “Bye Noona.”
I watched as he dragged his feet towards his mother. She grabbed his arm and pulled him along roughly. I wanted to slap the smirk off of her face. What kind of a woman treats her son that cruelly?! Making up my mind, I got out of bed and ran towards the door.
“Mrs. Hwang!”
“What?” She turned around with annoyance. SeungHoo had his head hung low with his gaze on the floor.
I walked over to the two of them with YuHwan watching my every move. I kneeled down and said, “SeungHoo, come here.”
He looked up and shook his head, glancing at his mother as she told him with her angry stare to not obey me. I wasn't deterred however. If there was one thing I was not going to allow, it was to break my promise to Halmoni about giving him happiness his parents could not.
“It’s alright, come here.”
“Ms. Su, I don’t have time for this. I’m a busy woman and—“
“Too busy that you don’t even notice what happens with your son,” I spat coldly. Standing up I stood before her boldly. “Mrs. Hwang, I think you should let SeungHoo stay with me for a while. It’s apparently clear that you can’t handle a child.”
“And you can?! You insolent child! Have your parents taught you no manners?” She spat the insults at me like they were bullets.
“They have taught me manners alright. They taught me a lot more than you’ve taught SeungHoo. You’re so wrapped up in your work that you don’t even give a sh!t if your kid is crying his eyes out every night because he misses you. Might as well drop him off at an adoption center since you don’t seem to care!”
Just as the last word left my mouth, a hard slap hit the right side of my cheek. Turning my head, I glared coldly at her.
She glared right back at me and pursed her lips. "I've had enough. I think it’s you that needs to be dropped at an adoption center for talking to me like that. Don’t waste my—“
I chuckled. “It’s always about you isn’t it? You, You, You. Well, here’s a news flash. You aren’t the only person in this world that has to work to get what they want.”
“YeKyung…” YuHwan tugged on my arm.
I opened my mouth to say some more things when my voice was interrupted by SeungHoo.
“Umma, let go.”
She looked down at him. “What?”
“Let go.”
His mother stepped back slightly surprised at his rebelling tone. Recomposing herself, she stared down at him. “SeungHoo, enough playing. We have to go now. Say goodbye.”
“No!” He yanked his little arm out of her grip and ran over to my side. “Umma, I’m tired of crying. I don’t like you! I don’t like you and Appa no more! You’re so mean to me. You don’t care about me! All you care about is money! Money, money, money!”
With amazing strength, he pulled YuHwan and me back to my room, slammed the door and locked it.
My mouth was wide open and I was still trying to understand all that was happening.
“SeungHoo!” I suddenly shouted.
SeungHoo looked up at me with those sparkling black eyes and a huge smile on his face. “Noona!”
We hugged each other, our actions spelling out our words.
“Why are you two hugging and laughing?! What is there to celebrate? You just disrespected an adult!” YuHwan said in bewilderment.
I ignored YuHwan’s behavior and looked at SeungHoo with sparkling eyes. “My SeungHoo is growing up!”
He smiled brightly. “Let’s go celebrate with…”
“ICE CREAM!” We both jumped up and yelled in unison.
Both of us gave YuHwan puppy eyes and he looked confused before realizing what we wanted.
“Oh no…”
Kissed By You || 31
YuHwan pouted as he watched us eat the ice cream he bought with his money.
“SeungHoo ah, want to meet JungRoo? She’s really pretty, kek, I bet you two would make a cute couple!” I babbled mindlessly. He only gave me a smile and continued devouring the vanilla ice cream.
“YAH! Why are you always worrying for other people?! You never even ask me if I’m feeling okay,” YuHwan suddenly shouted.
SeungHoo and I looked at each other. “Uh, YuHwan?”
“What?”
“You’re a guy. I’m a girl. Guy asks Girl. Girl doesn’t ask guy.”
SeungHoo let out a giggle and pointed at YuHwan’s angry face. “Noona! He looks like a baboon!”
I burst out laughing. The whole store had their eyes on SeungHoo and I. Glaring at them, I yelled at them. “What are you all looking at?! Never seen two people laughing?!”
“YAH! SU YEKYUNG, YOU richard simmons!”
I looked up at KyungHee’s angry yell. WooRi was holding onto KyungHee’s hand with great difficulty due to her stomping, bull-like movements. Knowing her, I prepared myself for a death pummel.
“Hey.” I waved meekly.
She pushed SeungHoo and I over until we were about to fall off of the seat while she had a huge space around her. Then, she proceeded to make herself comfortable while SeungHoo and I glared at her from our edge-of-the-seat spot.
“Kim KyungHee,” YuHwan said her name distastefully.
“Eun YuHwan.” She smiled. “Are you here on a date? I supposed you two decided to adopt Hwang SeungHoo, huh? Whew, such a lovely couple.”
I blushed furiously. Not because I was shy! Of course not! Because I was embarrassed that she would say such a thing! I mean, me, cut out for a mom? NO WAY.
“Go eat your ice cream with your boyfriend,” I ordered.
“KyungHee ahh!” WooRi whined.
KyungHee sat up and glared at Mr. Sunshine. “Choi WooRi, you’ve got to be the most annoying person I’ve ever met!”
He suddenly glared at her. A huge change from all goody goody to a psychotic killer. “What? You don’t like me being nice to you? Would you rather have me dragging you like a richard simmons from here to there?”
I clamped my hands over SeungHoo’s ears to keep him from hearing the horribly tainted language they were using. YuHwan tugged on my arm and the three of us sneaked out, leaving the couple to continue their feud. SeungHoo held onto both of our hands and swung them back and forth while we walked around aimlessly.
“Hyung ah, are you going to marry Noona?”
“SeungHoo!” I shouted.
To my surprise, YuHwan answered, “If she’ll let me.”
He giggled than stopped in his spot. “Don’t make Noona cry, okay? If you make Noona cry, SeungHoo will curse you to h-e-double hockey sticks and tell Halmoni to strike lightning on you.”
YuHwan gaped at the little boy’s threat. Nervously, I tugged on SeungHoo’s hand, making him start walking again while dragging a shocked YuHwan along.
“Eun YuHwan, coconut brain, are you in there?” I knocked on his head while SeungHoo went into one of his many houses to get something.
*Doong dee Doong da lee lee lee
I looked around for the annoying sound that came from somewhere. Looking over at YuHwan who was whispering into something, I sighed. Should’ve known he’d have a ring tone as weird as that.
“Yah! Eun YuHwan,” I called while tapping his shoulder.
He snapped his cell phone shut and turned around. “What?”
“I—“
“WOW! NOONA IT’S SO PRETTY!”
We both turned around at SeungHoo’s gleeful scream. On a stand, the kind ajumma handed SeungHoo a sky blue balloon. He looked up at it in wonder. Bouncing his gripping hand on the balloon string up and down, he giggled and smiled at the airy balloon.
I gave the Ajumma the money for the balloon and pulled on SeungHoo. “SeungHoo ah! Let’s go meet JungRoo!”
“Is she nice Noona?”
“At times, yes.”
“Is she smart?”
“Unbelievably smart.”
“Is she pretty?”
“Adorable.”
“Can I marry her?”
“Y—What?!” I stopped and looked down at SeungHoo. YuHwan had an amused look on his face as he stuffed his hands in his pockets.
“I’m sorry Noona, but I can’t marry you! You’re too old for me. I still love you though!”
I smacked my head. This kid is beyond weird. He doesn't even know what she's like and already, he wants to marry her.
“SU YEKYUNG!”
Oh no, who’s calling me now?
We all slowly turned around and SeungHoo let out a loud excited scream as he ran towards JungRoo.

CLARIFICATIONS
Story Clarifications
1. How does the title fit with the story?
Well, first off, Gardenias are a certain type of flower. Their meaning is either 'my secret love' or 'you're lovely...'. As you read on, the secret part will become clearer
2. I hate MinWoo! What's Hyori got on him? Why are they acting like this?
Okay, so many of you guys have shared your complaints about MinWoo's crazy behavior xD I'm sure it frustrates you all not to know the reason behind my characters' behaviors, but I can give you a hint: pay attention. All of my details in this story have a special significance. Maybe I've already told you the answer but you all just didn't catch it yet. That's about as much of a hint as I can give you without giving anything away x)
3. Which Shinhwa member is your favorite?
Definitely Mr. Lee MinWoo<3 I've been infatuated with him since I first entered the world of kpop fanfiction. He's just such an amazing character to use in writing and it doesn't hurt that he's so adorable, hehe. I will probably always be obsessed with MinWoo stories; more of them are really classic! So yea, it certainly breaks my heart to cause MinWoo so much suffering in this story. However, he's still the main catch!
Character Clarifications
Kim TaeHee A normal, average highschool girl that after an accident, changed drastically. She's just one of those people that are in school and seen, but not really noticed. Is in a relationship with MinWoo. The two of them have gone through a lot and now, she suffers from separation.
Park JunJin MinWoo's best friend and new transfer student to the highschool. Doesn't like it when girls cry and has no clue how to comfort one. Starts to develop an interest in TaeHee. Rides/races motorcycles.
Lee MinWoo He's TaeHee's old desk mate/lover. He's disappeared and they've yet to know when he'll be back. Rides/races motorcycles.
Shin HyeSung Hangs out with TaeHee a lot and is fiercely loyal. Considers her like a little sister of his. Doesn't support JunJin's closeness with TaeHee but because it helps TaeHee to smile, he tolerates it.
Lee Andy Treats TaeHee like his older sister. Is very close to her and worries that she's becoming "sick".
Eric Mun He's mysterious and carries the burden of knowing the past. Doesn't approve of JunJin and TaeHee's friendship.
More information will be added as the story progresses.

Chapter Two -
The first and second class went by quickly without much excitement. JunJin lazily slumped in his chair. He was bored and annoyed that they hadn't placed him in the same class as DongWan, Eric, and HyeSung. Andy was a grade below them, but even at times he was allowed in the same class as the others.
Letting a small sigh escape from his lips, he glanced over at the desk where his partner was missing. She was a strange girl the first moment he saw her. While everyone else had been eyeing him, she'd had her head down and seemed to be sleeping. Later, she'd raised her head and examined him over a bit before going back to her nap. The whole gestured made him feel insignificant. He also wondered why she'd reacted so strongly to a new desk partner. It wasn't like he was going to bully her into giving him anything.
"Mr. Park."
He raised his head slowly, not letting it slip that he'd in truth been startled. "Yes?"
The teacher's tough attitude softened a bit and he smirked. Female teachers...truthfully, all females were easy to turn into mush if you could just pull the right strings. The lunch bell finally rang and he got up, slowing down when he saw the back up at the door. But when he heard the loud squeals of admiration, he knew just what was holding him up from going to lunch.
Pushing past the girls, he walked into the middle of the hallway and looked to his right to see the guys, his group of friends, walking down the cleared hallway with admirers standing on either side with amazed gazes and gaping mouths.
JunJin smirked and turned fully to greet them. They, in turn, greeted him just as happily.
"Hey Jin!" Eric called out. The guys quickened their steps, Andy being the first one there because of his hyper active self. All of the students widened their eyes as the guys greeted each other as long time friends. It became clear that JunJin was one apart of the group even though he wasn't placed in the same class as the rest of them. He'd been given the same title as the rest of the others the moment he greeted them with such familiarity.
Looking at all the smiling faces, JunJin's smile faltered when he saw someone missing. "Guys, where is MinWoo?"
All smiles fell slowly as they stopped jumping about with joy.
--
TaeHee inhaled the fresh air of the yard as she ate her lunch under the Oak tree that she always did. As the wind gently blew at the leaves of the tree, the sun would peek out from behind the greens and shine down on her pale skin. She smiled lightly. So, she'd skipped half the day already. It wasn't a big deal. She used to do it all the time anyways.
"Can I sit here?"
She looked up and smiled at her pale faced companion. If there was one thing she was jealous of, it was that he had to be gifted with such a fragile beauty. He had the palest and clearest complexion she had ever seen on a guy. His eyes were a beautiful, seductive shape that were accentuated nicely with lashes that she was sure could have been longer than hers. His nose was tall and slim, his lips a perfect addition to the masterpiece. His hair used to be brown, but it was now streaked with lots of blond and messily done. All in all, he was really a perfect figure. His build was slim too, but not so thin that it looked like a boy's body, but a man's not yet fully developed.
Scooting over a bit, TaeHee patted the free spot beside her and he sat down comfortably. Though people used to be against the idea of Kim TaeHee and Shin HyeSung's friendship, it became a gradual, normal sight to see everyday at school. TaeHee and he were only friends, but that was always twisted around into some other thought by the active minds of their fellow teenage friends.
"You didn't bring lunch again?" TaeHee asked, a question which she always asked and he answered just the same.
He smirked. "You don't mind me sharing."
She pouted but eventually placed her lunch between them and produced an extra pair of chopsticks out of her bag. He grinned and took them eagerly before digging into the lunch with her. While eating, HyeSung watched her carefully. He'd heard that JunJin had become her new desk partner, something that everyone in the school was surprised to hear about. Everyone, including the staff of the school, knew about TaeHee and her last desk partner's relationship. And the after effects of it still hung onto her by the way she acted. He sighed lightly.
Placing down his chopsticks, HyeSung crossed his arms and glanced out ahead at all the other students with their own group of friends. TaeHee slowed her eating and gazed at HyeSung curiously. He usually wolfed down her lunch before she had a chance to eat even half of it. But today, he'd left her way more than half.
"Are you feeling okay?" She cautiously asked.
He nodded his head slowly. Then, he turned to face her so suddenly that she almost dropped the chopsticks in her hand. HyeSung, however, didn't take notice in this. "I heard that JunJin's your new desk partner." He left it at that, waiting for her reaction.
TaeHee then placed down her chopsticks and turned to face forward. Then, in a cold and distant voice, TaeHee stated, "He isn't my new desk partner. I never changed."
Though she heard the sigh of relief but also regret, TaeHee ignored him. He knew the reason why. She would always remain loyal to him.
"He's so lucky to have you," HyeSung said sadly. In his mind, though, he thought of all the pain she suffered and felt she deserved someone better.
Pulling away from the past, she picked up her chopsticks to start eating again when she was interrupted. Walking towards her was her so called new desk partner and his new friends; also the group of guys that HyeSung hung out with. When they saw HyeSung and TaeHee, the group started towards their direction.
TaeHee quickly started to pack everything up while HyeSung watched on in unhappiness. He placed his soft hands over hers and stilled her movements. Her heart was rapidly beating in her chest as she tried to will HyeSung to move his hands away before they saw.
JunJin narrowed his eyes on their touching hands as the group drew to a stop. He knew HyeSung wasn't dating the girl, but he held affection for her, that was apparent. TaeHee, however, seemed scared to be before them. The reason, he had yet to find out.
"Goodbye," TaeHee mumbled and quickly got up, fleeing out of sight of the guys as they stared on.
HyeSung slowly got up and stared after her with his hands in his pockets. Turning back around, he smiled at the guys. "Hey. Just having a little talk with her."
Though everyone else's face was darkened, JunJin was confused. He didn't understand what the guys were hiding, but he intended to find out. They still hadn't told him about MinWoo's whereabouts, which was frustrating him to the max.
Clearing his voice, JunJin put on a glare. "Now, will you guys tell me where MinWoo is?"
The heads all nodded reluctantly and he was led towards the basketball court to sit at the benches near there.
Once they were all seated in a semi-circle, Eric slowly spoke up first. "MinWoo left Korea to go study in America."
JunJin hadn't even made himself comfortable before he heard what Eric stated. Nothing went through his mind but why MinWoo would do that. "He told me to come back to Korea though! Why would he be in America when his parents persuaded mine to let me finish school here?"
All faces were confused. HyeSung said, "We aren't sure. MinWoo never said anything but a goodbye the day he was leaving. We didn't even know about it before hand."
After a few minutes of silence, all of their faces lit up with the same thought. Something wasn't right. MinWoo was known for being a disastrous troublemaker, so it would be no surprise to them to find him at the police station. But the fact that he messed up so badly to be sent to America is slightly surprising, though not mind blowing. Maybe he'd done something they didn't know about?
HyeSung's frown grew larger as her contemplated the situation. While JunJin had been in America, HyeSung and MinWoo had gotten quite close, so the two knew each other pretty well. HyeSung knew MinWoo would get into trouble all the time and there'd always be a spot on him somewhere that was bandaged up, whether seen or not (something that was also the same with JunJin). But he hadn't remembered any event that MinWoo had been involved in for him to be sent away. Well...no event except for that particular one. He connected gazes with Eric, DongWan, and Andy and knew they thought the same thing he did. And he also thought that maybe that was why MinWoo had been sent away.

SHORT REPLY
So this is how the famous Su YeKyung is defeated.
KyungHee and I broke the water with our feet before feeling the cold water seep through our clothes.
I held my breath, as did KyungHee, as our bodies slowly sank towards the bottom. We struggled helplessly, trying to untangle the ropes, but it was too small and tight.
Seeing KyungHee black out, I panicked. Using that last of my strength, I kicked KyungHee upwards while my body floated nearer and nearer to the bottom. Through my blurred vision, I saw a figure coming towards me. Then, I blacked out.
Kissed By You || 29
“How is she?”
“She’ll be just fine. I don’t think her friend is too damaged either. Another minute and we would’ve lost her, but it’s good that she wasn’t too deep in the water.”
“But…then is YeKyung’s condition worse?”
“No. She’s got a stronger and healthier body, so she was able to fight back more than Ms. Kim.”
“Oh.”
I fluttered my eyes open when the door closed. Realizing I was in a hospital room, I sat up instantly. The first thought on my mind was KyungHee. I jumped out of my bed and sneaked towards the secretary’s desk, ignoring the pain that ran through my legs. I had heard the people talking, whoever they were. Since I'm stronger, I place more worry on KyungHee, the weaker of us two.
“Could I please have the room that Kim KyungHee is in?” I asked.
“Room 105.”
“Thank you.”
Slowly and limping a bit, I got into the elevator and waited patiently.
*Ding
The elevator doors slid open and I walked through, my eyes searching for the numbers in my head.
“Ah, here it is.”
Quietly, I knocked on the door. Hearing a very quiet ‘come in’, I opened the door and saw KyungHee smiling back at me. Her face was a bit pale, but other wise, she looked perfectly fine.
“KyungHee!” We hugged each other and I asked her many questions. “When did you wake up? How did we get here? Are you hungry?!”
“Whoa, slow down YeKyung! I woke up about an hour ago. YuHwan and WooRi saved us while JaeHo phoned the ambulance. And no, I’m not hungry thank you.”
After hearing her positive answers, I dragged a nearby chair over to her beed and took a seat. “Did they come and visit you yet?”
“Yea, they just left to go see you.”
Opps. “Oh. And what about JungRoo? Any news on her?”
“She just visited me too. I think they’re all up there waiting for you to wake up.”
I smiled. “Well, what do you know, I have my own fan club!”
She rolled her eyes. “Hardly.”
“Come! Let’s go get them before they cry of torture for not seeing my face.”
Energetically, I pulled her along with me and we talked while the elevator brought us back down towards my room. When the elevator doors opened, the whole crew was standing there, glaring at me. I meekly waved my hand at them. “Hey guys!”
“Su YeKyung!” JungRoo stepped out from behind YuHwan. “Get back into bed this instant!”
With my head thrown forward, I dragged my feet towards my room. Climbing into bed, I sat down and awaited the torturing lecture.
All at once, their mouths started moving and their hands flew everywhere as they yelled at me. I tried to concentrate on what one person was saying, but it was impossible with what sounded like millions of mouths moving.
“STOP!” I held up my hands and they stopped. “One at a time! I can’t hear what you ALL are saying.”
JungRoo stepped forward. I lowered my head to match her height and she gave me a painful bop on the head. Instantly, I jerked back and rubbed my pained spot with a scowl. “What was that for?!”
“For not listening to YuHwan! He told you it was a trap, but nooo, you had to go and get yourself hurt AGAIN.”
I pouted. “JungRoooo, you can’t blame me for being bored!”
“Yes, I can blame you for being bored and stubborn and ignorant.”
I stuck my tongue out at her and she did the same.
“Yah, lesbian!!”
I glared at WooRi. Stupid loser. “What sunshine?!”
He looked up at his hair and than back at me with a glare. “My hair isn’t that bright!”
“Oh…I guess not. I mean, than how could KyungHee stand staring at you all the time?”
His eyes widened and he twirled around to look at KyungHee who had her jaw clenched while her left eye twitched mercilessly. I covered my mouth with both hands in horror. Oh my god….she’s going to kill me.
“Uh, haha, that came out wrong!” I laughed nervously.
WooRi grinned and walked over to KyungHee. “Kim KyungHee, I knew you liked me.” He winked.
She looked at him and smacked his arm. “In your dreams.”
“Let’s gooo!!” He grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the room. I stared wide-eyed at the door that the two left through. What if he rapes her?!
“Don’t worry, WooRi’s always like that.” I looked up at YuHwan. He and JaeHo were smiling.
“Uh, like what?”
“When he finds out that a girl that he likes likes him back, he usually takes her out for ice cream. Then he becomes really sweet and loving towards her. Other times, it would seem like he’s a player, but at heart, I think he just wants someone to care for him.”
“I want ice cream!” I said sadly. Oh, Ice cream! How I miss you!
“I’ll get you some.” JaeHo left the room.
“You shouldn’t eat so much ice cream. Makes you fat,” YuHwan informed.
“I’m not fat!”
“Yes, you are.”
“No, I’m not!”
“Yea, you are.”
“No.”
“Yes.”
“No.”
“Yes.”
“No.”
“No.”
“YES!”
“It’s about time you admitted it.” He grinned.
I gaped and then stuttered angrily. “N-No! Wait…how...what?!”
“YEKYUNG NOONA!”
With just one glance at the door, I was hiding under my covers.
“NOONA, NOONA, NOONA!!”
“HWANG SEUNGHOO, DON’T YOU DARE JUMP ON M—AHH!” I yelled.
He uncovered the covers from over my head and poked his dimply face at me. “Hey Noona!”
Hwang SeungHoo is eight years old. He’s the most angelic, adorable little kid you’ll ever get to know. With huge, curious black eyes that sparkled all the time, who could resist?! Plus, that smile of his and the dimples that were so deep just made you want to pinch his cheeks. Today, I was happy to find his hair nice and combed, unlike last time when he came in with his hair standing up and looking like he just came out of a tornado.
I glared. “SeungHoo…”
“I have ice cream!”
At his words, I sat up quickly making him fall back. He giggled happily and handed me a cup of ice cream while he sat cross legged and ate his own. “Noona, when I heard you were in the hospital, I rushed right over!”
“You didn’t rush over last time,” I rolled my eyes.
“Because you had your boyfriends here!”
I choked and stared at him wide-eyed. “SeungHoo! I don’t have boyfriends! Plus, you can’t have more than one.”
He opened his mouth in realization and than nodded. “But ChamSol Noona said you have a boyfriend.”
“I’m her boyfriend!” YuHwan put his arm around my shoulders and pushed down hard which made me almost drop my ice cream. I glared up at him while he gave me a smile in return.
“He’s NOT my boyfriend,” I protested strongly.
SeungHoo smiled. “Noona, lying is bad for you. ChamSol Noona said you go to h-e-double hockey sticks for lying.”
“I’m not lying.”
To confirm that I was lying, SeungHoo turned to YuHwan and asked, “Hyung, is YeKyung Noona lying?”
YuHwan nodded which made my hand fly up to smack the back of his head. “See how she abuses me?!” He whined.
SeungHoo pouted. “Noona! Shame on you for abusing Hyung! You’re supposed to be nice to your friends, especially your boyfriend.”
I sighed. Then, to avoid the question, I asked, “SeungHoo, where’s your halmoni?”
For the first time since I met him, his eyes lost their sparkle and slowly filled with tears. “Noona…halmoni left.”

You're lovely, my secret love...JENNY's GREETiNG: Jenny's back! And this time, I'm having an all gasoo cast! It's been quite a while since I've written one with all gasoos, but I'm super excited because it's featuring...(you guessed it~) LEE MINWOO<3, Park Junjin, and Kim TaeHee! I've missed reading about these characters, so I decided to write one with Shinhwa again and Kim TaeHee, whom I adore.
This story is going to be mostly romance, but about a tragic/sad love. I've been craving to write something not bright and bubbly, but rather sad with super mushy-ness, haha I do hope that you all give this story a chance. I've worked hard on the few chapters so far and am so ready to create something worthy your time.
Anyways, do enjoy the story! And to silent readers, I don't mind you being silent, but maybe one reply? It would help me to see what I might need to improve on or not. Other than that, read away in your invisible state xP

Prologue -
Do you remember the day we promised our lives to each other?
I do.
I remember you held me close and told me to never forget you. I remember how you earnestly wished life wouldn't give us anymore hardships. I also remember that you never shed a single tear, even then.
But...do you remember?
Do you remember that I always loved to take those midnight walks with you? Do you remember the first time we met? Do you remember...my favorite flower?
You remember right? Of course you do. If you ever forgot, you'd forget our promise. Because...they were the only witnesses of our promise, those Gardenias...
Chapter One -
It wasn't a surprise to see the students bustling about at the news of a new student coming into the school. And since the student was male, the female student body was squealing about and chattering excitedly about whether he was good-looking or if their make-up/hair/clothes looked nice.
TaeHee buried her head in her arms and tried to block the noise out. She'd pulled an all nighter in hopes of finishing both her project and HyeSung's paper. The toll it took on her body was heavy and she'd hardly been able to lift herself off of the floor, where she dropped from fatigue, to prepare for school. Groaning a bit, she wiggled around in her seat to hint to the surrounding girls that they shut up. However, no one took notice of her, as always.
When the homeroom teacher walked in, all of the students quieted down, but the smiles on their faces and the sparkle in their eyes weren't unnoticed by the teacher. He cleared his voice a few times as he always did before starting to speak.
"Good morning students. By the look on your faces on this early morning, I can see that you all know we will be having a new student join your class today."
Everyone immediately started to burst into conversation with their friends and nodded their excited heads towards the teacher, who frowned at their overexcitedness.
"Alright, alright. Please, calm yourselves down." He waited until the silence from before was restored and then, clearing his voice again, he said, "Please come in Mr. Park ChoongJae."
At the entrance of the door appeared the new student. TaeHee, who had initially ignored all of the excitement, had decided to raise her head and catch a peek of this new person everyone was fighting over. And there was indeed a reason to fight over him. His stance was strong, but not too much that it intimidated. He had sharp, narrow eyes that were still bigger than the more traditional Korean eyes. His nose was prominent and high. Then leading down to his lips which were set in a frown of annoyance. And he made a fashion statement by the way he wore his clothes: parts hanging out and others tucked in. Part of his collar was up while the other part was folded down. He looked messy, but in a gorgeous sort of way that only models could pull off.
"It's JunJin," he corrected in a soothing, slightly deep voice. All the girls let out unconscious gasps as TaeHee raised her eyebrows at them. Deja vu was hitting her, but instead of being pulled into the current situation, she decided to go back to her nap.
"Kim TaeHee."
Alarmed that the teacher was calling her, she shot straight up from her seat and looked straight ahead at the chalkboard. He sighed and shook his head lightly while everyone around her snickered. Obviously embarrassed, she slowly sat back down in her seat and looked down at her lap.
"Have a seat beside TaeHee, JunJin. You will be her new desk partner."
The whole room immediately became silent. All eyes turned away from the new student and focused on TaeHee. She was frozen, unable to think or understand what was going on. Ever since he had left, the teachers purposely left that desk empty and filled up all the other seats. But why had the teacher suddenly given up that desk?
"TaeHee, please, clear off the desk for JunJin." Her teacher's voice rang in her ears, but they went in one and out the other.
A little more forcefully, her teacher said, "Kim TaeHee, clear the desk for JunJin."
Her throat felt dry and all the surrounding sounds were lost to her. No one was allowed to sit there. It was supposed to be saved for him until he returned. Why...why was the teacher doing this?
JunJin had never moved from his spot in the front of the classroom. He was curious as to why the girl wasn't listening to what the teacher had asked her to do, not once, but three times already, though he doubt she even heard the third time. Slinging his school bag over his shoulder, JunJin strolled lightly to the desk beside TaeHee. With the swift motion of his hand, the things on the desk were pushed over onto her desk and he took his seat.
TaeHee then stood up loudly and all eyes turned on hers. She glared at JunJin before walking to the front of the classroom and out the door. The teacher stared after her, but didn't bother to bring her back. He knew she needed some time to accept a new desk partner after what happened to the last. Unfortunately, had he known that problems would arise; he would've given her a different partner than her last one.
"Well, class will begin momentarily," he said and left the classroom in the opposite direction from TaeHee.

SHORT RECAP
When I saw YuHwan coming towards us, I closed the door and grabbed KyungHee. “We have to hurry.”
That meant running. Both of us used the stairs since the elevator was as slow as anything, especially today. Throughout the time we were running, I kept thinking it was a bad idea. I know Yuhwan had told me it was a trap. I even said it was a trap. So why was I running?
“YeKyung!”
I looked up and then blackness took over.
Kissed By You || 28
Slowly, I opened my eyes, only to have everything blurred. I closed my eyes and opened them in pain. I would’ve used my hands to rub my eyes if they weren’t tied to my back. Then again, now that I think of it, my whole body is tied up!
“Hello YeKyung. You finally woke up.”
Blinking and shaking my head until my vision cleared up, I looked up and glared. Han. Hee. Joo.
“This is so fcuking funny.” She smiled that twisted smile of hers. “It’s unbelievable how you could fall for my trap so easily.”
I snorted. “I knew it was a trap. You think I can’t get out of this? Watch me.”
Her smile immediately turned upside down and she glared. “Don’t use your pathetic words on me. You know your problem, YeKyung? You’re all talk, no actions.”
“Where’s KyungHee,” I demanded.
“Oh, she’s just hanging around.”
Catching her drift, I looked up and gasped. KyungHee was hanging from a construction machine. So that meant we were…
“Fcuk,” I cussed. We were at the construction site at the ocean. How the hell did they get us here so easily? I twisted around only to roll back away. One more roll and I would’ve fallen over the side. “You’re so fcuking twisted," I spat at her while struggling to keep from rolling right into the water.
She let out a laugh. “I’m not twisted or crazy for that matter. I’m only giving myself what I want.”
“And killing people is what you want?! Murdering richard simmons, you have no life.”
Her eyes became cold and her lips pressed into a thin line. “You have all I want YeKyung. What’s so special about you that you have everything I can’t get? Why? I’m rich and powerful but you’re not afraid of that. Tell me, what makes you so special that you don’t have to be afraid of me?”
“Maybe because unlike those other sluts, I have the brains to fight back.”
“Hah, you must be kidding me.”
“Hah, I’m not," I retorted.
“AeRim!”
I looked up at AeRim as she walked over to HeeJoo with a satisfied smirk on her face.
“Hang her up. Also, make sure they...”
While they were talking, I had managed to get up onto my two feet, but being bound together meant I had to jump around in order to get away.
“You can’t escape," HeeJoo suddenly said to me. "The only way to leave would be to swim back to shore. You have your hands and feet bound together. How do you intend on getting away?”
I looked up than down. The thought of escaping into the ocean with my whole body immobile was stupid. So I decided to let my mouth talk some more stupid nonsense.
“Fine, hang me up, but I’ll be able to get away either way.”
I didn’t struggle as they both tied me tightly to the machine. Once they were on the ground again, I started swinging my body, trying to hit KyungHee. She wiggled a bit, but her head was still thrown forward like she was dead.
“Kim KyungHee!” I hissed. “Wake up!”
She moaned before lifting her head slightly, than dropping it back down in agony.
“K-KyungHee?” I whispered.
Finally, she looked over. I gasped at the large trail of blood coming from her temple. “KyungHee ah! What’d they do?!”
She gave me a weak smile and opened her mouth. “Nothing. After they whacked you from the back with this bag, I tried to fight them off. But then again, fighting fists to bat really isn’t a good match.”
I breathed in and out deeply, trying to keep my anger from taking over. “Do you have a pocket knife on you?”
She looked at me like I was crazy. “I don’t carry around pocket knifes!”
“Fine, fine. Let me think.”
The place was huge and vast. No one would notice us for days. We could starve to death just hanging here or die from the blood circulation being cut off! I sighed and looked down at HeeJoo and AeRim. They were talking to someone in black. No doubt it was that fat as$ I had beaten last time in the alley.
“YeKyung!”
“What?”
“Look, over there!”
I looked over to my right and saw a group of people running towards HeeJoo and AeRim. My mouth opened to yell but than closed. “Close that mouth of yours,” I told KyungHee. She did so, but looked at me helplessly. “They might have some sort of ambush below,” I explained to her.
Turning my head back to the scene below, I watched as YuHwan yelled at HeeJoo, demanding where we were. JungRoo was also there. She was being held back by WooRi while JaeHo simply stared at the two girls in disappointment.
The fat as$ stepped forward and yelled back at YuHwan. While the two argued, I could see black figures moving in around them. I bit my lip from screaming, knowing it’d only distract them.
Look around you idiots! I screamed in my head.
One punch landed and the whole brawl began. KyungHee and I watched in amazement and the three guys fought off all the huge ape-like creeps.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw HeeJoo grab JungRoo. Fuming with anger, I looked over at KyungHee who mouthed ‘yes’ and ‘get him!’ every time the guys hit one of the gangsters.
“KyungHee! HeeJoo’s got JungRoo!”
KyungHee whipped her head towards my direction and looked down. “YeKyung ah! We need to do something!”
I rolled my eyes. “I would, but HELLO?! I’m sort of stuck!”
Suddenly, I felt my hands unusually numb. I groaned and tried to take a look at it. They were quickly turning blue. Those b!tches had tied it too tight around my wrists!
“Fcuk, look at your hands!” KyungHee gasped.
“I know, I know.”
“You know, if your hands lose too much blood…”
“Shut up will you?” I snapped. “We need to find a way to get JungRoo free without distracting the guys.”
“YEKYUNG.”
I turned around and looked down at HeeJoo, who was holding onto a struggling JungRoo. “I hope you feel good about yourself when your cousin goes missing!”
This was the last straw. I was sick of being a spectator. It was time I took action. Violently, I started swinging back and forth. Ignoring the guys, I yelled to JungRoo, “RUN!”
Of course, it was stupid, because HeeJoo had a very tight grip on her arm. Knowing JungRoo would do something oddly smart, I watched and waited, anticipating her next move. She jumped up and down and tried to kick at HeeJoo who only jerked the girl up by her arm. I gritted my teeth. “Come on JungRoo.”
JungRoo got up and glared at HeeJoo. It was then that she took her arm to her mouth and bit HeeJoo’s hand. HeeJoo let go and let out a shrill scream. JungRoo looked up, gave us a big smile, and ran. I prayed that she’d make it out of here without being harmed by anyone else.
“YeKyung!!”
Looking over at her, I followed her gaze back to the fight. All that was left were our guys and three of the gangsters. They all were tired and their faces bloodied and bruised. Breathing heavily, I watched as their mouths moved, trying to read their unclear lips.
“I want to know what they’re saying!” KyungHee sighed.
I nodded. “We’ll just have to wait and se—WOAH!”
KyungHee and I started to swing back and forth as the machine moved forward, passing over the six guys as they looked up and towards the water.
KyungHee gulped loudly. “Uh, YeKyung?”
“Yea?” I shivered.
“Do you want to have that pocket knife now?”
Blankly, I stared at her, waiting for what she said to be computed in my head. “KIM KYUNGHEE! YOU STUPID IDIOT!” I screamed angrily.
“I’m sorry! I just realized I had this pocket knife from your Appa for Christmas in my blazer pocket!”
“Well, hurry up than! We’re just about to die and you’re busy giving me an explanation?!”
She looked down at her pocket of her blazer and than looked up at me in fear. “Uh, YeKyung, I can’t get the pocket knife out without my hands.”
I sighed and looked down at the water below us. “We’re doomed.”
“HAN HEEJOO, IF YOU EVEN TOUCH ONE BUTTON, LEVER, OR SWITCH, I SWEAR, I’LL KILL YOU WITH MY BARE HANDS!”
We both looked back at the three guys as they looked on horrified and angrily at the scene. The other three gangsters had mysteriously disappeared.
I smiled. “One last goodbye?” I asked her.
She nodded.
“HEY, EUN YUHWAN!”
“WHAT?!”
“THANKS.”
We both gave them a big smile before we felt ourselves drop and gravity pull us down even faster.
So this is how the famous Su YeKyung is defeated.
KyungHee and I broke the water with our feet before feeling the cold water seep through our clothes.
I held my breath, as did KyungHee, as our bodies slowly sank towards the bottom. We struggled helplessly, trying to untangle the ropes, but it was too small and tight.
Seeing KyungHee black out, I panicked. Using that last of my strength, I kicked KyungHee upwards while my body floated nearer and nearer to the bottom. Through my blurred vision, I saw a figure coming towards me. Then, I blacked out.

SHORT RECAP
I dropped the pencil I was fiddling with. “K-KyungHee?”
“What?”
“Am I becoming….soft?!”
We both widened our eyes in horror. It was terrible. Never in my seventeen years of living have I ever been soft on anyone! Never!
“Don’t worry YeKyung! We’ll get them after school. You’ll feel so much better after a good as$kicking.” She smiled gleefully.
I nodded my head and rested my back against the seat, hoping I wasn’t turning mushy because of one person.
Kissed By You || 26
“SU YEKYUNG!”
To avoid the yell of my name, I ducked behind a bush in the back of the school. My proof that I’m becoming soft? I’m hiding from KyungHee.
“SU YEKYUNG, YOU GET YOU SKIMPY LITTLE AS$ OUT OF BEHIND THAT BUSH!”
I stood up and glared at her. Who the hell was she calling skimpy?! “You richard simmons! Look at your own skimpy as$.”
She rolled her eyes. “Get over here you silly girl! We’ve got some butts to beat up!”
“Uh, I can’t today.”
KyungHee grabbed my two shoulders and shook me until I yelled at her. “What’s gotten into you?! You’re becoming soft you old banana bag!”
“KyungHee! I can’t…”
“Because you’re soft now. You’re as soft as a smashed banana,” KyungHee spat.
“Stop using the banana to compare to me!” I snapped. “I’m not soft. I’m just not in the mood right now.”
“Should I make you angry? Should I try and get you pissed and then have you attack them?” She made me sound like a freaking dog. Sad, really.
“Don’t tempt me to punch you,” I growled.
“Anything will be better then not punching someone! Su YeKyung! Your name is going down the drain. You’re losing all your dignity you fool!”
“Have not! Have not, have not!” I stomped around in the dirt until I felt like it was enough.
“Fine, do what you want. Be a loser and lose to HeeJoo then. I don’t care!” She threw her arms up in anger and walked away. I watched her back disappear and sighed. I guess girls have their days too. Even jjang girls.
“Damn, how do you put up with that?”
I whirled around and saw the three guys leaning casually on the wall smoking cigarettes. Yep, cigarettes. I wonder why I even bother telling them not to smoke. I walked down the line and plucked each of the cigarettes out of their lips or hands. Throwing them on the ground, I grounded them until I felt satisfied that they had deserved their rightful punishment.
“You’re wasting my money,” JaeHo said.
“Well, smoking just wastes time and living space,” I retorted.
“Every time you do that, you’re paying me ten cents.”
I looked over at YuHwan and snorted. “It’s your entire fault that I’m in this mess you cocky bastar.d!”
He raised an eyebrow and pointed his index finger as himself. “Me?”
“Yes, you! Before you came, I had no trouble earning everyone’s respect, but now that you came, HeeJoo’s been stepping all over me like I were the floor!”
“That’s because you can’t help but fall for my sexiness.”
His answer got me red in the face. Fall for his sexiness my as$!
“You wish you had something people would fall for!” I blurted.
“I think you’re the one wishing I would fall for you.”
“Oh, I can make you fall. Like this.” I swept my feet neatly under his and had him on his back in just a second. As I was about to walk away, he locked my ankle with his foot and pulled. I tripped and fell onto the ground, except I had more to worry about. Bastar.d! I was wearing a freaking skirt!
“Are you crazy?!” I screeched as I tried to cover myself quickly.
He sat up and grinned. “No, not really.”
“Perverted jerk,” I mumbled as I got up and dusted myself.
“Su YeKyung.”
“What?" I asked him frustratedly, still fussing with my skirt and blouse.
“What time should I get at your place?”
My hands froze and I jerked my head up. “Why?”
“The dinner.”
Immediately, I groaned. I thought Appa was kidding about that! And it seems like YuHwan's being serious about this whole girlfriend-boyfriend thing as well! “I guess seven. Might as well bring WooRi and JaeHo since KyungHee’s coming,” I added.
“Fine.”
I trudged down the sidewalk with my bag hanging loosely over my shoulder. My mind was clouded with too many thoughts for me to think clearly.
* Bee lee da dee doo dee
“What?”
“YeKyungah…I think you should get over here.”
“KyungHee? Where are you?” I worriedly asked.
“I’m at your father’s restaurant.”
“Alright, I’ll be there in a second.”
I turned my trudge into a run as my mind race with the possibilities of what might’ve happened. Stopping before the store, I was surprised to find the sign on closed instead of its usual open sign. I walked in and gasped. The whole store was a mess. It was totaled!
The chairs were thrown everywhere, some of them broken. The wooden tables that were so nicely arranged were here and there in awkward positions. There was water all over the floor, mixed with bits of food. I walked around, tears threatening to fall. Over at the counter was my Appa, crying to himself that all he had was gone. I walked over and opened the cash registers. Empty, empty, and empty! They’d robbed him and destroyed his business.
In the kitchen, the whole place was a wreck. I didn’t have the courage to stay and inspect the damage. Knowing it was my entire fault, the guilt slashed through me like an axe on a chicken’s neck.
I sat down next to Appa and quietly cried along with him. I cried for his job and his hard work. I cried that if I wasn’t such a richard simmons, this might’ve never happened to Appa. He might’ve never suffered such a huge loss had I not just given up. Because of my selfish reasons, my loved ones suffer along with me.
Kissed By You || 27
“YeKyung, I told you, you should’ve gotten her! I fcuking told you!” KyungHee nagged at me for the five hundredth time.
It was already late, but the two of us were just now walking to my house. Reacting to her nagging, I stopped walking and turned around. “I know! You already fcuking told me a million times! But what can I do now?! What’s done is done!” I exploded angrily.
She stopped walking. “What you can do is trust you best friend instead of a couple of guys you hardly know.”
I dropped onto my knees to the ground weakly and mumbled, “It’s my entire fault, isn’t it? I’m the one to blame.”
KyungHee sat down next to me. “We can fix it. All we need is to raise the money and repaint things. Put them back together. It’s not going to be easy, but we can do it with a bit of hope.”
I sighed. “KyungHee, I’m so tired of this sh!t. She’s gone too far. It’s almost as though she’ll always be after me unless I kill her!”
She shook her head. “Killing her would only make a huge mark on your guilt. It’ll make you just as bad as her. I think we just have to fight her until she’s tired. Not everyone can go on without having a weakness. All we have to do is poke that weak spot and take advantage of the time we’re given.”
I nodded. “Thanks KyungHee. I don’t know what I’d do without you.”
KyungHee smiled. “You’d probably die.”
We got up and walked into my apartment complex. I walked through the door to see everyone sitting at the dinner table, including YuHwan, WooRi and JaeHo.
The three glared at us but my Umma, Appa, and MeehLah didn’t say a word. They weren’t going to blame it on me, but I knew it was me to blame. It’s my fcuking fault.
I smiled weakly. “Sorry we’re late.”
“It’s alright. MeehLah, help me warm the food up,” Umma softly ordered.
KyungHee and I silently walked over and sat down. I looked down at the bowl, unable to look up at Appa’s heart broken eyes.
“YeKyung.”
I looked over to my side at YuHwan. “What?” I whispered.
“Give me your bowl.”
Obediantly, I handed it to him and watched him fill it up.
“So, YuHwan,’ Appa started with a slightly shaky voice even though a smile was on his face. “How long have you known YeKyung?”
“About two to three weeks,” he answered easily.
Appa sat back from shock. “And you’re already going out with my daughter?”
“What can I say? It was love at first sight.”
I rolled my eyes. Sure it was.
“YeKyung ah, take the bowl,” YuHwan said and handed the bowl to me.
I did as I was told and slowly ate while listening to the conversation. KyungHee and I sent each other messages through our expressions. Mostly, we had to say that YuHwan was a good actor. Extremely good.
“Do you have any plans for your future?” Appa asked. “As in plans of a career?”
“I want to be a doctor.”
Umma suddenly put down her chopsticks and smiled brightly. “A doctor? Why, that’s a very good occupation.”
I stared hard at my bowl and swallowed the rice I’d just placed in my mouth. She was doing it again.
“What do you look for in girls though?” Umma interrogated.
“Well, someone I can understand and that’ll understand me. She should be able to cook and clean like any wife should.”
Her eyes twinkled. I grabbed my chopsticks and started grinding them against each other under the table, taking my anger out on them.
“So, you want a house wife?”
“Not necessarily. She should be able to do those things, but I don’t require them. Other than that, she should be strong. I don’t want her to be so weak physically and mentally that she can’t handle things well. It would turn into a huge disaster for her to know me in that case because I’d have no interest in caring for her night and day as though she were a child.”
“YeKyung ah, go get me more rice,” Appa told me.
I silently thanked him and went over to the rice cooker. Was it that I just wasn’t good enough or did she really favor my sister that much over me? Just because I'm more of a tomboy and fail at certain expectations she has doesn't mean she should completely ignore me. I'm as much of a living person as MeehLah is, so why does she always ignore my happiness, fake or not, and dive straight for any opportunity of providing MeehLah with the best?
“Thank you.”
I sat down and played around with the end of my shirt. My meal was hardly finished except for a few bits here and there.
“So, what age do you plan on marri—“
“May I be excused?” I interrupted Umma’s question.
Appa nodded and I rudely scrapped my chair against the floor. Swiftly, I walked away from the dinner table and into my room.
I love you just as much as her.
Don’t you tell me that you care because you don’t!
Life’s like a movie. You have to act it right. If not, you’re just replaced or cut out of it.
I gave my best. Everything! What more do you want?
If I was given a chance to choose a member of my family to leave…it’d be you.
In the dark, I glared at the wall. Every voice that spoke in my mind made me glare harder, losing myself in the insane world of hatred. Though she was my mother, I couldn't remember a moment in the past when she ever hid her favoring of MeehLah over me. Appa loved the two of us unconditionally but it wasn't enough. I wanted my mother's love too. I wanted to be cared for and thought of as an equal in the family, not just a person that freeloads around the house.
My moment of loathing my mother stopped when there was a knock at the door. I looked up at the sound and straightened my clothes. Clearing my voice, I called out, “Come in.”
The door opened letting some of the light take over the darkness and wipe away my cold thoughts. YuHwan leaned against the doorway and looked down at me. I turned my face away.
“What is it?” I asked quietly.
He walked in and sat down next to me, causing me to scoot over one spot. “Your parents would’ve gotten suspicious if I didn’t follow you.”
“Oh.”
We sat in silence, listening to the sounds of clattering dishes and chairs being pushed towards the table. YuHwan handed me a piece of paper that was folded up. Opening it, I read the words that finally let all hell loose.
I told you you’d pay. But let’s just have your family suffer first.
Crumbling the paper, I got up and walked towards the door but a hand on my wrist stopped me immediately. I turned around and glared. “Let me go.”
“I can’t.”
“Why?!” I demanded. If his reason wasn’t reasonable, then he might as well join HeeJoo and AeRim. They had touched my family, something that I never resulted to no matter how much I hate a person. They had touched something sacred of mine and I was going to get them back.
“It’s a trap.”
“How do you know?” My suspicions were only growing from AeRim’s winking at WooRi to how YuHwan knew so much. I grew up being able to smell a fake from a real and YuHwan definitely didn’t seem fake, but then again, he could be a very good actor.
“They’ve done this before.”
“...to whom?”
I found myself turning on the lights and sitting down at my desk, awaiting his explanation.
“Do you remember Kim JooNa?”
I nodded my head. “She was the girlfriend of the one of the jjangs of JingMong High.”
“She was absolutely gorgeous. HeeJoo hated anyone prettier than her so she devised a plan to rid JooNa from everyone’s view. Running her out of town could work, but you know how that girl’s mind works. It’s crazy, almost obsessive.”
Boy, did I know what he was talking about.
“HeeJoo and AeRim planned many tricks. There was one that worked to its best though. Kim JooNa was afraid of the dark and small spaces. What nobody knew was that she was claustrophobic. Somehow, those two had found out and they locked her in the school in the janitor’s closet, purposely blocking all of the noise. What they didn’t plan on was that the school water system would explode and the school would flood. JooNa died due to drowning.”
I couldn’t believe it. JooNa had been a close friend of mine too. Nobody would tell me the real truth of what had happened to her because they knew I would swear to kill whoever had caused JooNa’s death.
“And, they did exactly what they did to me to her?”
“They did it to her friends. She wasn’t strong enough to fight back, so her friends went down for her instead. Even then, you should keep away. Do you know how many people they’ve already ruined? Adults included. It’s a damn shame that they keep going.”
“That’s why I have to put a stop to it. Even if it means getting injured. If they aren’t stopped, then next will be my friends and my family. You really don’t see the problem?!”
“Fcuk, you’re not listening.” YuHwan scratched his head in frustration at my stubborness.
“Yes, I am. I’m just tired of running!” I exclaimed.
“When did you run?”
“Ever since you stopped me from giving them a smack in the head.”
YuHwan growled. “You don’t give people smacks in the head YeKyung. You give them a punch, that’s the difference.”
Ignorant of the danger in the situation, I got up and walked towards the door. If it was a trap, what kind was it that I couldn’t control? I’ve gone through so many problems and here he is telling me not to go. Walking out the door, I bumped into the joyful crew who were talking amongst themselves in the living room.
“Are you feeling better dear?” Appa asked.
“Nae. Appa, I’m going out. Don’t wait up.”
Those last three words made KyungHee look up. She knew what I was doing, which meant she wasn’t going to let me go alone.
“I’m going with her!” KyungHee jumped up and bowed to my parents. “YeKyung, wait up.”
When I saw YuHwan coming towards us, I closed the door and grabbed KyungHee. “We have to hurry.”
That meant running. Both of us used the stairs since the elevator was as slow as anything, especially today. Throughout the time we were running, I kept thinking it was a bad idea. I know Yuhwan had told me it was a trap. I even said it was a trap. So why was I running?
“YeKyung!”
I looked up and then blackness took over.

SHORT RECAP
“Let’s go.” He flicked the cigar onto the ground and left. I gaped at his slouching back and hands stuffed in his pocket. Putting out the lit cigar with my feet, I ran to catch up with him.
YuHwan was angry, but keeping it to himself. I thanked him, for I was too lost to deal with any more confusion. SeeDuk's words still rang in my ear even when I tried to block them all out.
Kissed By You || 37
YuHwan walked into his apartment leaving the door open for me. I walked in and pouted as he sat on the couch and flipped through the television channels. It was obvious that he was angry by the way he glared at the television.
“Eun YuHwan.” I stood in front of him, blocking his view of the television. He looked up at me. “Are you mad?”
Squirming around uncomfortably on the couch, he looked to his left and glared at the pillow.
I smiled and walked towards him. “Aw, are you mad that I chose him over you?”
Still giving me the silent treatment, he turned his back towards me. Having enough, I put a hand on his shoulder. “YuHwan…” I pouted when he didn’t respond. “YuHwan ah!” Lightly, I started shaking his shoulder with my hand.
“Leave me alone,” he said with an air of annoyance.
“Fine!” I got up and walked to his room. Why his room? Because I could use things to persuade him to forgive me. “I wonder--- WOAH!”
I covered my eyes and huddled up into the corner at the sight of KyungHee and WooRi making out.
“Could you two choose a better time and place, please?!”
They broke apart embarrassed and left the room. I stood up and shook my head. Kim KyungHee, don’t blame me if you die at the age of fifty from contracting STDS. I wouldn't be surprised.
Nosily, I walked around his room and decided to take a closer look. “I wonder what’s in here.” Looking up to make sure it was safe, I peeked into a desk drawer. Inside, I found a photo album. I flipped through the pictures mindlessly but stopped when a picture of him and a girl popped up. She was beautiful. Her long, raven black hair reached her lower back. Her height wasn’t short but wasn’t tall either, just perfect. My eyes came up to her face. She had pale, clear skin. Her eyes reminded me so much of myself.
“What are you doing?”
I jumped and looked over my shoulder at a shaking YuHwan. He grabbed the photobook from me and put it back into the drawer with a slam. I looked down at my nervous hands, my head hanging low in shame.
There was silence after that. Assuming that he left the room, I looked up and caught him staring at me. His eyes were hypnotizing me, forcing me to keep my gaze locked on him. I grew confused and sad just looking into those black orbs of mystery.
“You look so much like her,” he said in a whisper.
“Like who?”
“Like her.”
I bit on the insides of my cheek in frustration. Did he mean the girl? If he did, who was she?
The chair that I had been sitting in stopped swiveling as I got up and walked towards him. Some of the room beside him sank from my weight when I sat down next to him on the bed. “Like who,” I asked once more with my head tilted to the right.
He looked towards me and smiled. “No one.”
YuHwan got up and walked out the door leaving me on the bed baffled. His behavior just jumped from one to the next. As if SeeDuk and SungHwan's arrival isn't enough, he had to confuse me even more.
“Hey!” I called out to him. He stopped walking and turned around. “Am I staying in the guest room?”
He raised an eyebrow at me. “When did I say you could stay?”
“I invited myself,” I answered carelessly. There was no way I was going home after what happened. “So which room is it?”
“Guest room.”
Bobbing my head, I walked towards the guest room. At first, I was going to open it, but in fear that KyungHee and WooRi could be having some more…fun, I thought I should knock first.
“Hello? Anyone in there?”
Silence.
I walked in and looked around the room. It was the room ChamSol unnie had been in, but now it was rearranged.
“Here.”
Twirling myself around, I took the blanket YuHwan as holding. I put it on the bed but became confused by the other blanket that had already been placed on the bed.
“If you get cold, use them,” he told me.
“Does it get cold in here?”
“Sometimes.”
I rolled my eyes. Great, I’m going to wake up and find myself resembling a popsicle tomorrow.
“Can you drive me to my house? I need to pick up some things.”
He nodded and beckoned me to follow him.
--
In the car, we were silent. I hated the silence.
“I’ll wait here," YuHwan told me.
I nodded and walked up to the apartment complex. In my mind, I prayed that Umma wasn’t there. With a shaking hand, I inserted the key and opened the door.
“It’s alright, she’ll be fine.”
“No! I don’t want my daughter living with some stranger! You kicked her out, so you either let her back in or buy her a new place!”
“I’m not spending anymore money on her. Do you know how much of the money we wasted over hospital bills when we could’ve used it for more important things? She even ruined your restaurant! Why aren’t you mad?”
“Because I know she didn’t do it. Look at yourself SungHee! What have you become? How could you kick your own daughter out?”
I leaned against the wall outside and closed my eyes. Ever since I had gotten into my first fight, they had bickered constantly over me. It seemed like everything was my fault.
“….”
“What? You can’t say anything towards your behavior? I’ve never seen you act so rash. What’s gotten into you?”
“I’m afraid of losing everything! We were already in debt and to add all the hospital bills makes it worst! I can’t put up with this anymore!”
I purposely slammed the door on the wall. They turned towards me, Umma’s face hardening and Appa’s worried face brightening up.
“YeKyung!” He rushed forward and grabbed me into a hug. I swallowed back the tears that threatened to fall. Over his shoulder, I stared straight into Umma’s eyes. Emotionless. Unmerciful. Giving up, I let go of Appa and walked towards my room.
“I’ll be staying with my friend.” I managed to get that part out and didn’t talk afterwards, in fear of breaking down.
“YeKyung ah! Whi-which friend is this?”
“Uh, er, YuHwan.”
Appa frowned. He watched as I packed and than said, “I don’t want you staying with a boy.”
I smiled. “Appa, Dr. Ji is YuHwan’s uncle. He’ll watch over me.”
Appa shook his head, “I want you to stay. Your Umma was just caught up in the moment. She didn’t mean it.”
Oh, but I think she did.
“No, Appa I need some time away. J-just for a few weeks or so.”
He hugged me and stroked my hair while I was still carrying the bags. “Don’t get into any more trouble, alright?”
I nodded. Hopefully I won’t.
I walked out the door with everything and didn’t bother to look at Umma. If she didn’t want me here, then I’ll leave. I’m not going to put up with it anymore.
Kissed By You || 38
Waking up from my nap to the vibration of my phone, I groggily picked it up and answered it with my usual greeting. “What?”
“YeKyung ah, you want to go clubbing tonight?” KyungHee asked on the other line.
“Sure.” I let out a yawn and sat up to stretch.
“Tell YuHwan to come too. Club Dream at nine, table three.” She hung up leaving me no choice but to agree.
“Eun YuHwan!” I yelled.
“What?”
“Club Dream at nine, table three!” I repeated KyungHee’s words.
“Alright.”
After I had washed up, I started unpacking. It wasn’t before long, that I became bored. I walked into the living room and found YuHwan surfing the television channels. He flicked his gaze over to me and then looked back at the screen. I sat down on the couch next to him and sat cross legged. “What are you watching?”
“I’m not watching anything. I’m looking for something to watch.”
We both stared at the screen trying to look for something to watch.
“Nothing good is on at this time,” I replied.
He turned the television off and sat sideways so that he was now watching me. Shifting around in annoyance, I asked him, “What?”
“I’m watching you.”
I glared at him. “Do I look like I’m here to entertain?”
“No, but you’re interesting to watch.”
Rolling my eyes, I got up and walked towards the refrigerator. After I opened the door, my eyes literally popped out of its sockets. All that filled this fridge was soju, cake, milk, and orange juice. To think this house belongs to a doctor!
“Eun YuHwan! Your fridge is empty!”
“No, it isn’t. Look, we have things in there.” He pointed at the few items in the fridge that could hardly be called food.
“No, this isn’t anything. What do you eat?!”
He shrugged. “I always eat out."
“Rich people,” I mumbled. “Let’s go shopping.” I pulled on his arm and the both of us headed towards his car.
--
“Alright, we need this, and this, oh yea, that to.” I put all the vegetables into the cart as he followed, sticking his tongue out at the veggies.
“I stopped eating these things when I moved in with my uncle!” He exclaimed.
“Well, you’re my boyfriend, so I’m making you eat these things whether you like it or not,” I said, unconsciously slipping out the word boyfriend.
He smiled. “Aw, I knew you cared for me somewhere down there.”
“Sure, buddy. Now hurry up and push the cart!”
--
We both heaved the bags into the kitchen and watched as the bare fridge filled up and became almost bulging.
“You bought so much!” He whined. “I have no more money.”
“At least we won’t starve!” Looking at everything made me hungry and itch to cook.
“I won’t starve. I’ve got you to keep me full.” With that, he winked and gave me a seductive smile.
I curled my lip in disgust. “You pervert.” Then I flicked him in the forehead.
“Yah! That hurt.” He pouted and rubbed his forehead. There was a little red spot staining it.
My eyes landed on the clock and I freaked out. “Sh!t!”
He frowned. “Stop cussing!”
“No! We’re going to be late. Hurry up and get dressed!” I yelled while rushing to my room. Closing the door, I looked around for my clubbing clothes I had chosen earlier.
Since I despise dresses and skirts greatly, I had chosen a pair of black pants that hugged my waist tightly, but not so much that it’d suffocate me. The shirt had one shoulder and the other had none. It was white with the Bebe signature stretched across the middle in black. I decided to let my hair down this time, applying no make-up to my face. I walked out and looked at YuHwan’s closed door. “Are you done yet?”
When I didn’t receive a reply, I knoacked again, listening for any movement. “Hello?” I cautiously opened the door and poked my head in only to find no one.
“What the fcuk?”
I walked towards the door and found him still on the couch. He looked up at me, looked away, than did a double take as his eyes widened. “Who are you?”
My hands found their way to my hips as I glared at him. “What are you doing?! They’re probably waiting for us!”
“I’m tired.”
“You’re a loser.”
Taking his arm, I dragged him into his room. He sat on his bed and watched as I shuffled around in his closet.
My hands came across a black Armani sweater that felt amazingly soft under my hands. I threw that at his face and picked out a pair of faded blue jeans. “Hurry up. I’ll be waiting.”
Five minutes later, he came out grabbed my arm. "Let’s go.”
“Yah! I’m not a kid, stop dragging me by the arm!” I glared at him. One moment he was taking his time, the next, he was rushing like I was the one taking forever.
“Sometimes, I wonder how you’re even considered a teenager,” he muttered.
I smacked the back of his head and ran towards the other side of the car to avoid his revenge.
“Let’s go get some ice cream before we go!” I said excitedly.
“Got money?”
“No.”
“Then you don’t get ice cream,” he stated.
I pouted. “Why?! You're my boyfriend, aren't you?”
“I’m not stupid. You can't use that line with me,” he grunted.
“Fine, be that way!” This guy is just too much. First, he grabs me by the arm, than he’s making me pay for my ice cream? Chi, I wonder what kind of boyfriend he is.
“Get out.”
“What?!” I turned towards him in anger.
“They’re all waiting right there. Go wait with them while I park the car.”
Catching his drift, I got out and walked over to them. KyungHee was swinging WooRi’s hand back and forth while she talked to JaeHo about something. JaeHo, however, was paying no attention. Instead, he was pushing KyungHee’s forehead away from his face.
“KyungHee!” I waved my hand frantically. She turned and immediately pushed WooRi out of the way as she ran towards me.
Take that Choi WooRi! She’d choose her friend over you any day!
“YeKyung! Where’s YuHwan?”
“I don’t know," I answered carelessly.
“You dope! What kind of girlfriend are you?”
“One that doesn’t like kisses,” answered a voice behind me.
I turned around and lost my breath. YuHwan was right behind me. His bangs covered his eyes, but I would recognize them anywhere. The lighting of the club that was cast on him shocked me because of the way they accentuated his features. It was always at moments like this that I found myself falling inevitably deeper.
“Let’s go!”
KyungHee grabbed both of our arms and pulled us into the club with WooRi and JaeHo chasing after us.
Our table was already filled with soju that KyungHee had taken the liberty to buy for us. Sitting down, she took the first bottle and drank a bit. “Tastes strange.”
WooRi snatched it out of her hand and took a sip. “You’re right. It does taste strange.”
I can’t believe these two. What an alcoholic couple!
“YeKyung!”
“Huh?”
“Stop spacing out.” YuHwan smacked my head.
“I'm not!” I glared.
“Drink this.” KyungHee shoved the bottle towards me.
I pushed it away in disgust. “No thanks.” There was no way I was going to subject myself to such things. Drinking doesn't make anyone look or feel better.
“You’re weird.”
“And why is that Baek JaeHo?”
“I’ve never seen a gangppae that doesn’t drink,” he replied, then, took a sip of Soju.
I glared at him. “I’m not a gangppae!”
“Sure you aren’t.”
“There’s a difference between gangppae and jjang idiot.”
“You’re not considered a Jjang anymore though,” WooRi interjected.
“What?” I whipped my head in his direction. “Why not?”
“Because someone beat you.”
“Who?”
“YuHwan.”
“No he didn’t!” I objected fiercely.
“Yea he did YeKyung!”
Kim KyungHee! You’re supposed to be my bestfriend, richard simmons!
“He’s got you wrapped around his finger like a string! If he told you not to fight, you wouldn’t. If he told you to leave, you’d leave. I bet if he kissed you, you wouldn’t resist either!” KyungHee continued her rambling.
“KyungHee…” I growled.
“Don’t fight.” YuHwan’s eyes flashed at me.
I closed my mouth and glared while she laughed.
“I told you!” She said.
While I was sulking in my misery, YuHwan’s hands covered mine, which was under the table, as he chatted with them. I felt a blush creep its way to my cheeks making me feel hot. Thank god this club is dark.
--
It’s now three in the morning and they’re still going at it. I tiredly rested my head against YuHwan’s shoulder, his hand still on mine. KyungHee's knocked out, her head resting on WooRi’s lap. The three guys are still awake. How do they manage it? I have no clue.
“HWANIEE!!! OH HWANIE, I MISSED YOU!” I heard WooRi’s voice imitating HeeJoo. I smiled hearing their laughter. My smile grew bigger when YuHwan’s grasp tightened on my hand. I loved this feeling. It felt so comforting.
“YEKYUNG NOONA!”
My eyes opened and I gasped at the sight of SeungHoo drenched in water.
