“You’re not telling me that the movie plot has anything to do with me, are you….?”
\ Woo Sung Boys’ High School
The wave of anxiety put a bitter smirk on my face, but it was wiped off when Ji Sol turned away with a sad look in his eyes.
“I don’t want to hear it..”
“…..”
“Let’s get out of here, Ji Sol..”
“It was on Field Day in elementary school. I saw some noona jump onto the track and she ran so hard..”
…
…… I didn’t know where he was going with this, but he put the headset he’d been fidgeting with earlier on his head and began his story..
“Okay, fine.. It’s all on the table now. Do as you please..”
..
…..
There was no point in arguing with him.. I sunk to the floor and aimed my gaze downward.
“But I was running with her too.”
“……….. What…..?”
Ji Sol shifted himself to face the window. The one-punch he threw at my ears was a lot stronger than I had anticipated.
..
…
“And I came in first.. everyone’s dream..”
“……”
“But the one to become a legend that day was the person who came in second, holding her hand..”
“Ha… this is bigger than I thought it’d be…”
“The kid who was second had no existence.. he never spoke, he was small, he was dark..”
I know.. he’s short, has a dark face, and his eyes are dead..
…
…. I may have forgotten everything else, but not that. It’s been stuffed deep down in my heart….
…
“But after that day.. he said he was going to grow and drank lots of milk. He squared his shoulders and walked around with a smile on his face, like a completely different person.”
…
………
Thousands of lies co-exist in this world.
…
….
I wasn’t really curious, but the more I listened, the more interesting his secret seemed.. It was a secret that I wanted to hear, even if it meant I would pass out from its immensity..
..
…. Even if I didn’t want to know, it was something that I had to hear so our world would keep spinning..
…
….
………
……………………..
‘Psh. He’s been acting really strange lately. He acts all stuck up even though no one even cares. We wouldn’t even let him play soccer with us..’
‘I know. He even started eating lunch with other kids..’
‘Ji Sol.. Wanna play a little trick on him..?’
‘How..?’
‘You know that noona that ran with him the other day? She goes to the piano school below our taekwondo studio. Hehehe.. I’m pretty close with her…’
‘….ㅇ_ㅇ….’
‘You have pretty writing.’
‘So? What about it…ㅇ_ㅇ..?”
‘We’ll pretend we’re her and send him a letter!!’
‘Huh…???’
‘Ever since that day, I think I’m in love with you >ㅇ< So hold my hand, marry me, and give me a kiss >ㅇ<”
“….ㅠ0ㅠ…..”
‘And if he says he wants to write back, we’ll tell him that we’ll take it to her. But instead, we’ll show all the other kids and tease him!!’
‘…. But.. that’s kind of…’
‘Hehehehehe!!! It’ll be so much fun!!!!!! It’ll be okay because I know with that noona pretty well!!!!! She’s so dumb that she won’t know what we’re doing anyway!!!! Hold on!! I’ll go borrow some stationary from my friend!!’
…
……
It was a cruel secret, but one that had to be told tonight….
……….
………………………..
“So from that day on, I wrote down whatever my friend told me to write. And Hae Joon passed along his response to my friend..”
“……”
“A hundred letters.. two hundred letters… Hae Joon came into our classroom every morning.. Thanking us and apologizing for asking us to deliver his letters.. Looking so hopeful as he handed them over…”
“And all the reply letters were from you, Ji Sol…..?”
“I did at first.. but soon everyone in our class started taking turns writing back..”
…
….. How horrible….
…. That’s a horrible thing to do…
..
“If we wrote that we wanted tickets to the Kim Jin Young solo concert, there would be a ticket wrapped in the next letter he sent back. Then we’d sell the tickets and go eat pizza or buy Gundam robots.”
“….”
“We were past making fun of him. We were only focused on what we should ask for next.. We didn’t care how Hae Joon managed to get those tickets. Whether he missed school or hurt himself.. We kept sending him those letters.. until you went away to America..”
…
……
It was all a jumble in my head. The image of Hae Joon injuring his fingers, and Ji Sol talking about how he wrote over five hundred letters..
…
……
….. And the way I chose Won Woo oppa over the ticket he gave me…
….
…..
The secret was finally out… And it was uncovering me as the horrible person that I was, and revealing Hae Joon to be such a caring person..
“But Hae Joon’s last letter on the day you left was what changed everything..”
“…..”
“It was then that we realized how wrong we were to have done such a terrible thing and we all cried..”
Hehe.. No wonder that boy seemed so familiar earlier… He was the taekwondo boy who used to follow me around constantly, asking annoying questions.
…….
………..
He was the stupid little boy who came up with the stupid little idea.
…
“And up until now.. I was too afraid of being hurt to say anything to you or Hae Joon..”
“Because you.. were afraid of getting hurt?”
“I’m sorry…………”
Ji Sol finally turned back to face me, but dropped his gaze out of guilt.
..
….
I thought I was a fool for not being able to remember Hae Joon..
…
….
You were one of the kids that made me think this way, Ji Sol.
“Won Woo, you were right..^-^…”
…
…..
Soo Yeon unni’s cheerful voice broke the heavy silence between us.
“………………………”
The sudden visit caught us off guard and all we could do was stay quiet and close our eyes…
….
There was no way we would let them see our tears…
…
……
……..
Because we didn’t deserve to be comforted for our tears. We had caused too much trouble for that…
\
“Let’s go out the back door. I’ll take you home.”
…
……
The secrets told and given away lay heavily on our backs. We stood transfixed on nothing in general when my sad excuse for a first love made his second appearance. Chae Won Woo.
Ha……….. His life couldn’t be easy either…. having one face, but two personalities….
…
“You don’t have to do this anymore, Oppa.”
I grabbed Ji Sol’s hand tightly and stood up.
“…. What….?”
He was clearly taken aback and his eyes reverted quickly to the missing button. I grinned and approached the two.
“I’m not an idiot. I see right through you so you can stop the angel act.”
“…..”
“I showed you that picture of Hae Joon dressed like a girl and laughed at it that day?”
“… What are you talking about…?”
“Oh, you know. The lie you came up with to ruin my relationships with the boys.^-^”
“Do Kyung… Why are you acting like this? This isn’t like you…… You’re so different today…”
You’re right, Mr. Chae Won Woo. Thankfully, that stupid lens that I saw you through has finally rotted away.
“Move.”
“…… Do Kyung……”
“Move, before I start talking about this button.”
“….”
Got it, dumb*ss? I’m not the super idiot that you thought I was.
“Let’s go, Ji Sol.”
“…..”
I tugged at Ji Sol’s hand and led him toward the door.
“Oh yeah, and Soo Yeon unni?”
“……”
“Don’t you think Jung Hoo oppa’s such a great guy? He’s so far away in Thailand and he still managed to remember your birthday and call you.”
“….. What….?”
And, of course, I didn’t forget to enlighten her of that mysterious day.
..
“Now let’s really go, Ji Sol.”
Today just seemed like a day for revealing secrets.
\ 11:05 P.M.
“What’s wrong with him?!!!!!!!!!ㅠ0ㅠ”
Somehow we managed to make it outside. Jang Mong Taek Soongee had been wearing a trashcan on his head so people wouldn’t recognize him, but when he heard us approach, he threw it off and came running to Ji Sol’s side.
“Eww.. you smell like rotting bananas…”
“This b*stard’s been beat to a pulp!!!!!!! How long did they beat you?!!!!”
“……..”
“Hey.. Let’s go to my place since it’s nearby…. If you go home like this, your mom will pass out..”
“Okay…”
..
……
Yet with everything going on, all I could think about was Dan Young and Hae Joon together at this very moment.
..
….
“But what’s wrong with you two..?”
“……”
“There’s something weird about you guys…..”
“………”
“Come to think of it, you guys were holding hands when you came out. That was weird…….”
….
Hae Joon’s face interrupted Mong Taek’s ridiculous assumptions…
“Tae Yang!!!!!!!!!!!! Hae Joon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!=0=”
“Don’t!!!!!!!!!!!”
….
…..
When I finally came to, I realized I was way behind the others..
..
….
“I’m going to tell all the guys!!!!!!!!!! Do Kyung noona and Ji Sol sitting in a tree~!!!!!!!!!!!!=0= There’s definitely something going on between you two!!!!!!!!=0=”
-0-….
…..
……………=0=……..
Jang Mong Taek and his idiotic fantasy brought me back to reality. Like Lady Liberty holds her torch, he lifted his cell phone to his ear and ran like a lizard whose tail had just been cut off..
..
….
“If you want to die in my hands, keep running.”
…
…..
…
THUD……….
…
Ji Sol spoke in a deep, low voice.. It made me drop the shopping bag I was holding and made Mong Taek Soongee stop in his tracks.
“Please don’t make me that pathetic………………….”
This unseen side of Ji Sol was just as shocking as having seen Miss Shin for the first time. It made my throat close up…

“You little b*tch!! Get out of here!!!!!!!!!!!!”
…
……
This is where I’d come to stop after running all over Woo Sung Boys’ High School, looking for Ji Sol.
Who knew I’d run into such a special guest?
…
….
Her eyes turned wide and round like a bunny’s as she stared at Blue Hitler as if he was from another planet.. The special guest.. who was once Jung Hoo oppa’s woman.
\ Woo Sung Boys’ High School Conference Room
“Come on, Do Kyung.. let’s go outside and talk.. this place is off limits to non-employees..”
…
…..
It must be killing him to think I could reveal the story behind my missing button at any moment.
Won Woo oppa kept patting me on the shoulder and tried to lead me outside. He looked at his special guest nervously.
…
….
Haha… This was just the confirmation that I needed..
….
My first love died a long time ago..
…
“No need, Mr. Chae!! I’ve got this. You want to know where that little b*stard is?”
…
…..
Blue Hitler grabbed me by the front of my collar and dragged me outside.
“Please, stop it!!!!”
Soo Yeon unni awoke from her brief trance and jumped in front of him..
…
…..
“The three of you make me sick…”
At least until those words escaped my lips..
…
….
“You want to set up your tombstone right here in our school now, don’t you?”
And he continued to drag me through the hallway.
“Oh oh oh!!!! It’s that girl!!!!!!! She’s being dragged to the HaeTaeJiMong torture room!!!!!!!!=0=”
“I hope she makes it out alive..”
“She has the eyes of a heroine. She won’t die easily.”
…
……
The comments being thrown out at me weren’t those of concern, but mockery..
…
….
“Kim Ji Sol as the main course. A stupid b*tch for dessert. My wooden bat’s in for a real treat today.”
Blue Hitler made an abrupt stop before the last door at the end of the hallway. He chuckled to himself as he mumbled something only he could understand.
…
…..
……
BAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“HEY!!!!! I’ve brought you a companion!!!!!!!”
And then the door opened.
“…….”
“Kim Ji Sol!!!!!!!!!”
…
…..
And what I saw made my heart sink.. again..
…
“What the….. where’d the b*stard go..?”
…
….
No…
… This couldn’t be happening…..
….
“Kim Ji Sol, you b*stard!!!!!!!!”
…
….
It wasn’t long before I was looking around the room myself. Hitler was shouting like there was no tomorrow.
…
…..
‘RIIIIING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!’
At that precise moment, an alarming event that no one could have predicted occurred.
…
……
‘RIIIIIIIING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!’
….
……-0-….
All I did was stare as the fire alarm went off above my head.
“AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
The sound of students screaming for their lives engulfed the room when the doors flew open.
“Everybody stay calm!!!!!!!! Can’t you kids hear me?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
..
….
Of course, the one who was most taken aback by all of this was Blue Hitler. He showed off his supernatural speed by racing out of the building..
…
…
Hahaha…
Hahahaha….
…
I chose to stay behind and laugh, rather than join in on the escape..
…
I leaned back against the wall and shook my head.
“Have you heard of the infamous Syndrome from 2 B.C.? Our motto was ‘the right career leads to success.’♬”
..
….
The song coming through the intercom speakers.. the voice behind it..
…
That was definitely Kim Ji Sol..
…
…….
“Where’s the broadcast room?”
I leisurely walked out of the room and stopped a boy who was making a beeline for the stairs.
..
….
“AHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!=0=”
He looked oddly familiar.-_-. His finger pointed up to the next level before darting down to the first floor..
…
“Wherever we went, crying babies stopped♪ Wherever we stopped, screaming girls dropped♬ What could a group like this be called? I can’t seem to remember♬”
…
…..
Yes, yes.. I’m on my way… I’ve already asked for directions and I’m on my way..
…
…..
\ 10:27 P.M.
Thanks to Jang Mong Taek setting off the fire alarm, every breathing soul was out of the building.
“We were knocked down without a peep.♩”
…
…..
The song was coming to an end.
…
….
“And that’s how your legend ended……”
“Noona…….”
“You’re quite the teleporter, Kim Ji Sol.”
…
…..
I threw open the door of the broadcast room, and there he was. Mr. Kim Ji Sol.
“Hehe…..”
He was slung over a chair. He stuck up his thumb and smiled.
“You’re smiling….”
“Huh……?”
“What were you thinking!!!?!?! You can’t even walk!!! How could you do something so dangerous?!!!!”
“I promised to protect you, Noona.”
…
……
His eyes were so swollen that his eyelashes were invisible…
…
….
He was having trouble speaking.
…
“What….?”
“Even if I hurt, you have to be strong. Even if I cry, you have to smile. Even if I die, you have to live. Because I said I would protect you, Noona.”
“………”
“And because I’ve done so many terrible things to you.”
The last words were more like words mumbled to himself than to me.
“The promise…”
I was beyond touched. All I could do was stare at him.
“Remember when I said I’d tell you my secret..?”
“… Your… secret….?”
“I promised you that I would tell you my secret if I failed my audition.”
…
……
I had a strong feeling that I shouldn’t listen to his secret, but he looked up at me with a glazed over look.
..
…..
“Noona, have you ever seen ‘Wicker Park’?”
I got that feeling that I shouldn’t be listening to this again..
…
……

“Hae Joon’s phone is off and Tae Yang’s phone is busy. They’re driving me crazy..ㅠ0ㅠ..”
\ 9:10 P.M.
I don’t know why it had to be here of all places. I was standing in the middle of Woo Sung High’s track field. The dark-filled track field.
“Their friend is dying and those b*stards are off doing God knows what..ㅠ0ㅠ..”
Mong Taek muttered under his breath, tears still running down his face.
..
….
I know this isn’t the time to say this, but his hair had grown out. He had evolved into an orangutan.
“Where’s Ji Sol..?”
I swallowed back the laughter and asked of Ji Sol’s whereabouts in an apathetic voice.
“Up there…ㅠ0ㅠ…”
..
…..
He pointed up to the upper level. Light was shining from all of the windows.
….
“What..?”
Mong Taek stared at the windows in response.
“Ji Sol’s locked in up there..”
“What do you mean ‘locked up’..?”
“Blue Hitler beat the sh*t out of him and locked him in there…”
“But you guys are on break.. Why is he up there??”
“They say he spent the past few days in front of that record label, dancing all day. They called up the school and asked them to take him away. Sniff. Sniff. To.. take him away. Sniff.. To.. take.. him.. away…ㅠ0ㅠ…”
“…. Ha…”
“Idiot. He shouldn’t have slipped at the auditions!!!!!:”ㅠ0ㅠ”:”
…-_ -….
I honestly believe that he was too stupid to realize that it was his fault.
“I guess we’ll just have to spring him.”
I looked up at the second floor windows.
“Hitler might be there..ㅠ0ㅠ. You can’t, noona. He’ll beat my @ss until it falls off. ㅠ0ㅠ..”
..
….
I ignored him and marched into the building.
“Wait!!! At least wait until I find a place to hide!!!!! Don’t go yet!!!!!!!!!!!ㅠ0ㅠ”
…
……
I’m sorry, Shin Hae Joon. I know you’re hurting, but I have to stir up some more trouble before I get to ask for forgiveness.
“AH!!!!!!!! What is that girl doing?!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“One.. two.. three..”
“Noona, you’re not really…….”
“Hmph!!!!!!!!!!”
“Mommy..ㅠ0ㅠ.. Mommy..ㅠ0ㅠ.. She must be crazy..ㅠ0ㅠ..”
I could hear Mong Taek’s worried voice coming from below me as I climbed the tree branches.
“Be sure to keep watch down there!!!!!!!!!!!”
“Oh man!!!!!!! And look at her panties!!!!!!!!!!! With bunnies and raccoons and peaches!!!!!!!!!!ㅠ0ㅠ”
-_ -…..
He covered his face with his hands, but I could still see his two eyes peeking up through his fingers.
……
“You f*cking pervert!!!!!!!! Turn your video phone off!!!!!!!!!!!=0=”
It happened just as I hissed at him and snapped my legs together.
..
…..
‘Snap..’
The branch began to splinter and I could feel it shake underneath me.
…
…..
…….
Oh no…..
….
……………
Ji Sol……
….
“The tree is falling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ㅠ0ㅠ”
..
….
I saw…
…
……
Just as Mong Taek reached the peak of his panic and the tree began to shake more violently, I looked into the window and saw the small form.
..
….
Ji Sol…
…………
…..
Mong Taek was right. Ji Sol was locked in..
..
But it wasn’t just Ji Sol..
….
…….
…
It was Ji Sol drenched in blood and tears.. He sat leaning against the wall like he couldn’t sit up on his own…… He slowly opened one eye and winked…
…….
..
‘BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!’
“The tree’s down!!!!!!!ㅠ0ㅠ”
…
……
I felt a wave of shock spread through my body.
“Are you okay, tree!!!?!?!?!?!?!ㅠ0ㅠ”
…
…..
This was no joke.. This wasn’t the work of a teacher mildly hitting a student to teach him a lesson…
……
………
It wasn’t something a teacher could do… It wasn’t anything to be taken lightly…
“What’re you going to do?! This is the principal’s favorite persimmon tree!!!!!!!!!!!!ㅠ0ㅠ”
“……….”
“Say something…..ㅠ0ㅠ”
“……”
“Noona….”
..
….
I ignored the pain and jumped to me feet.
“Wh… What are you going to do now..?”
..
…..
I was heading toward the main doors without realizing it.
“No!!!!!!!!!! You can’t do that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Mong Taek’s frightened cries wound around my feet, but I brushed them aside. I couldn’t leave Ji Sol like that.
..
….
BOOM!
BOOM!!
BOOM!!
BOOM!
..
…..
I marched up the stairs, not bothering to keep quiet.
…
…..
The Ji Sol I had just seen was in too much pain; he was too vulnerable.
\ Woo Sung High.
“Hey, hey!! Look at that!!!!”
“It’s a girl!! A girl!!!!!!!!”
At the sudden appearance of a girl, the boys in study hall stopped what they were doing and poked their heads into the hallway.
“That’s right, you b*stards… A sexy girl is roaming your halls..”
I glared back at their interested stares.
….
Where was it?!
…
….
I desperately searched the labels on the doors to find the room Ji Sol was being kept prisoner in.
…
…..
“Hahahahahaha!!!!!!”
…
…..
The familiar laughter made me stop in my tracks.
..
….
“You’re lucky, Teacher Won Woo. To have such a pretty girlfriend who brings you dinner like this.”
The next voice made my heart drop. I jumped for the closest door and hid in the shadows.
..
…..
Teacher Won Woo….?
…
….
“Why don’t you join us? ^ㅇ^”
“Oh ho. May I??”
“I brought extra chopsticks.”
“Well thank you, Soo Yeon.”
…
……
Ha…. Things were going just peachy, weren’t they..?
…
….
“I know I’m being a nuisance, but I’ll just join you, Mr. Chae..”
SLIDE!!!!!!!!!!
…
……
I didn’t let Blue Hitler finish. I swung the door open as if trying to let all of the anxiety out of my own heart.
…
….
“Yes, and I know I’M a nuisance, but I’d like to join in too.”
I took a step forward.
“Do Kyung……”
…
……
I wonder if this is the right moment to say that time froze right then..
“I’d be ever so grateful if you could tell me where you’re keeping Ji Sol prisoner.”
..
…
They were like statues. They wore no expression on their faces as they looked up at me.
…
….
Blue Hitler had just picked up a pair of chopsticks. Soo Yeon unni had gotten even cuter if that was possible. And Won Woo oppa couldn’t keep the shock out of his eyes.
…
“Do Kyung.. What happened to you? Are you hurt…..?”
Soo Yeon unni approached me with a look of worry in her eyes. She wasn’t part of this mess.
…
…..
……..
“Your legs are all scratched up.. And you’re missing a button….”
…
…..
……..
Haha….
…
The corner of my mouth twitched and a cynical laugh escaped my lips.
…
Missing a button.. It’s all thanks to your new boyfriend..
“Want to know where my button went?”
…
……
The blood rushed out of Chae Won Woo’s face and his eyes grew wide in alarm. His eyes begged me not to say a word.

‘Promise you won’t get caught this time..’
‘It’s only been a week since we met.. I’m really, really sorry it’s only been a week since we met…’
..
‘It doesn’t matter how many times you cover your eyes and open them again.. I’ll always be here..’
‘A really REALLY long time, noona….’
I’m sorry, kiddo. I’m sorry that I didn’t realize that the tiny boy had grown up. After I took your hand and ran with you.. After I told you I’d be your mom.. I didn’t know you were that little boy..
\ Han Na Elementary School
My steps were heavy as I traced the steps Hae Joon had taken just a few moments ago. It took a while for me to finally pass the gates. It took a lot of strength to deliver the night air into my lungs, but I couldn’t stop. I had to find Hae Joon, look him in the eyes, and ask him to forgive me.
….
“Oppa..”
…
……
The voice stopped me in my tracks. Her voice.
“……”
It was in front of the school sign. Princess Dan Young sat there under the sign.. She was facing me, but she was looking at Hae Joon and stroking his shoulders.
..
….
“Hae Joon…..”
…..
Shin Hae Joon slowly turned his head at the sound of my voice.
…
…..
He looked down at me with a look of betrayal in his eyes.
…
…..
“I…”
“Crocus is dead.”
“……..”
“I killed Crocus.”
…
……..
He turned his thumb upside down.
…..
“I remember… I remembered the little boy, kiddo….”
…
…..
With a smirk, he redirected his dirt-covered sneakers and walked away.
..
….
“Hey!!!!!! Kiddo!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
But he didn’t respond to the name in my memory.
..
…..
With no intention to look back at this idiotic girl..
“Kiddo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“What did you say to oppa?”
Choi Dan Young cut my calls short. There was no trace of moisture in her eyes.
“……”
“What did you say to make Hae Joon oppa look like that?”
“Move.”
“What did you say to make his eyes like that…?”
“I said move.”
“What did you say to him that’s making him stare at the ground?!!!!!!!”
…
……
The sudden burn in her voice put me in a daze.
“I remembered Hae Joon..”
I looked straight at her; I thought I should pay her at least this much respect. She turned pale again when I offered her the bag in my hand.
“I had this exact meal with Hae Joon when we were little. We held hands and ran together. I said I’d be his mom. And all of it happened at Han Na Elementary School.”
“………..”
“So move.”
“…..”
“I have no problem pushing you out of the way so move if you don’t want to get hurt.”
“So what?”
“…?”
“So what else did you remember?”
….
……..
….
Her voice was full of hatred.
“What do you mean..?”
“Stupid b*tch..”
.. W.. What….-0-?
“Stupid… b*tch..?”
“That’s the only thing you remember, isn’t it?”
“Who are you to talk that way..?”
“Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
She was yelling again.
..
…
“Do you honestly think that he waited all this time so you could remember an old nickname!!!? Or that he wanted you to remember him so he could hear you tell him how much he’s grown?!?!”
“…..”
And as much as I wanted to, I couldn’t think of anything to say. My mind had already accepted defeat.
“That little boy may only be a small part of your memories, but to him, you were everything. You were his entire memory..”
…
……
She was right. I couldn’t figure out why I had no other memories of him. Why was that day the only thing I remembered about him?
…
…..
“And it’s too late now.”
“…..”
“Because I get to go over to his place tonight. ^-^”
Why couldn’t I say anything to this girl…?
…
……..
I stared blankly after her diminishing form. I stood there after she’d long gone, just looking at the flowers in my hand.
..
…..
I loathed myself for my inability to remember more. My mind replayed the image of Hae Joon running towards me over and over again.
..
….
♬♩♬♭♬♩♬♭♬
..
….
“Noona..??”
My cell phone rang and broke the deep silence. I took the receiver thoughtlessly to my ear and heard Ji Oh’s frightened voice on the opposite end.
..
…
“……”
“Noona…? Are you listening..?”
“Huh…….”
\ PM 8:10 P.M.
I detected another voice on the line.
“Ask noona where she is..-0-..”
Tae Yang’s voice overlapped Ji Oh’s…
…
“Where are you, noona?”
“Ji Oh..”
“Yes?”
“Either tell Tae Yang to hang up or you put down your end. I can’t hear either of you clearly..”
“Hyung.. She knows…”
Sigh…-_ -…
“Hehehehehe -0- Tell her I’m in my room.. sleeping…-0-…”
“We got caught because you keep talking into the phone.”
I didn’t have to be there to know what was going on. I could see Ji Oh on the phone in the living room. Han Tae Yang would be in the master bedroom on the other phone.
“D*mn it!!!!!!! It’s been one hour ten minutes and twenty five seconds since you left. Why aren’t you home yet?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!=0=”
I guess he wasn’t even trying to be secretive anymore..
“Hurry up and come home!!!!!!!!!”
Tae Yang screeched into the phone. He sounded as if he was envious of how much time I was spending with Hae Joon.
“If you’re late, Ji Oh and I are going to eat all of the chicken!!!!! And we won’t unlock the door for you!!!!!”
“Tae Yang… I think I’m going to stay here and think for a while..”
“Is Shin Hae Joon there? Put him on!!!!!!”
“I have to go..”
“Hey!!!!! Han Do Kyung!!!!!!!!!!! What’s going on over there?!!!!!!!!”
CLICK…
……….
..
….
I clpsed the phone shut and it whispered goodbye to Tae Yang’s furious cries.
..
….
♬♩♬♭♬♩♬♭♬
Ha…-_ -… The phone rang again as soon as I shut it.
..
….
“I said I need time to think!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
I took my anger out on my little brother..
“If you think too long, Ji Sol’s going to die. ㅠ0ㅠ”
…
…….
But the voice creeping into my ear did not belong to Tae Yang.
Um.. is this..
“Mong.. Taek……………………?”
“Why do you ask when you already know?”
“……..-_ -…..”
“I didn’t want to call you either, noona…….”
Ha… When would this horrible relationship with Mong Taek end?
…
……
My teeth clenched together after I realized my hunch had been right.
“Noona.. I won’t do anything stupid so listen..”
Jang Mong Taek toon on a serious tone.
“…..”
“I found Ji Sol…..”
“What…..?”
“Sniff.. Sniff.. At school.. I found Ji Sol at our school…..”
You may already know, but this kid only cried for two reasons. Either he was in danger himself…
…
…..
…
Or his friend was…

“A long, long, long time ago!! Hehe!! Hoho!! There was an old frog bachelor~! Hehe!! Hoho!! “
A little girl was walking along in the heat of a hot summer day. Judging by the fact that it was long past 9AM, it was probably also past the time she was supposed to be in school. She was untroubled as she twirled her bag around and around.
..
…
Well.. She seemed a little troubled as she glanced around from time to time…
…
….
There was no doubt about it.. She had ditched.. Anyone could see that she wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed; the smudges on her face said it all.
…
….
“No one knew if the thirty year old couldn’t get married or wouldn’t get married~ No one knew~ Oh yeah, oh yeah~ No one knew~ Oh yeah, oh yeah!! “
..
The girl with the pigtails continued on her way, singing at the top of her lungs. She wasn’t headed anywhere in particular.
..
This is a secret, but the reason I know she had no real destination is because she had no money..
“Okay! Group three! Line up single file!! “
..
…
It wasn’t such a surprise that she stopped where did.
…
It was only natural for the little girl to be curious about the loud voice..
“Hmm, what’s that?! “
…
….
What’s that.. That’s an elementary school field day..
…
It was a sunny day in the summer and the little girl had come across the field day of a local elementary school.
“Ready!!! “
“… “
“Start!!!! “
…
…
At the sound of the gun, the kids began to run. The little girl couldn’t take her eyes away from the scene. She soon found herself walking through the gates..
…
…
“Go!! Go!! “
“Run!! Run!! “
…
She was definitely ditching school.
The little girl made her way through the crowd of parents and began cheering with them…
…
She was very excited.
“Okay!! Group four in a single file line!!”
She threw her backpack to the side and watched the six new students line up. She was grinning at them…
…
…
“Ready!!! “
“…”
Hmm.. The little girl had discovered something. It turn her smile into a frown.
…
…
“Start!!! “
…
…
What could she have seen?
A good looking boy…? An unusually pretty girl…? Or someone she knew…?
…
…
Nope. All wrong.
…
‘BANG!!’
It was a tiny boy. A tiny boy who trembled at the sound of the gun.
“Run!! Run!!”
In the midst of the cheering, all the little boy did was look around, searching for something..
…
…
“Teacher!!! “
The little boy who had taken off first turned back around when he was halfway there and came back waving a sheet of paper in his hand.
…
This wasn’t just a race. They were supposed to find the person written on the sheet of paper..
“What is… that idiot doing…?”
…
…
The little girl watched the trembling boy anxiously.
…
…
“Wahhh!!!”
Oh gosh..
..
Something happened then..
..
The little boy had been the last to retrieve his paper, but instead of searching for his person, he dropped to the ground and began to wail.
“Hahahahaha!! “
“Look at him!! Look at him!!”
“He’s crying again!!”
…
…
It was the worst…
…
I mean, what could be better than making fun of a cry baby..?
…
Everyone started to laugh.. Even the parents and teachers who should know better shook with laughter…
…
…
If things continued on this way, the young sprout would never be able to grow..
…
“You idiot!!!”
…
…
It was so obvious…
…
What was this?
…
It had happened out of nowhere..
…
” …… “
The little girl raced towards the tiny boy. The crowd became quiet and the boy stopped crying. There she was, running towards him, with her bag hanging around her neck.
…
…
All around silence…
…
The girl snatched the paper out of the boy’s hand..
…
…
And what do you think happened next..?
Well… I guess it’d be pretty obvious to anyone with a little sense…
…
“Hey, hey! What is she doing?!!!”
Yup. ‘The girl was brave.’
‘Hold tight!!!!!!’
…
…
In the midst of the watching eyes, the little girl took the boy’s hand and began to run.
…
…
Past the fifth runner..
Past the fourth runner..
Past the third runner..
…
…
…
Her speed put Carl Lewis to shame. She was pushing at a miracle.
…
…
“Woah!!!!!! “
The crowd cheered as the little girl and boy raced through the tape in second place.
…
…
“Wow… That noona’s awesome.. “
The boy who had come in first gazed at the girl in awe…
…
…
“Come here!!!!!”
…
Paying no heed to her audience, she tugged on the little boy’s hand and led him to the drinking fountain.
“O.. Ouch… That hurts…”
The tiny boy’s complaints didn’t stop her. She continued to the fountain.
“You’re a wuss, aren’t you?!!!”
…
…
Dang. She delivered the blow to his ego as if it was nothing…
“Yeah…”
Ego shmeego, he nodded fervently in response.
…
…
Sigh… This kid was never going to get a girl…
“Food!! Did you eat yet?!!”
Not knowing what to say, the girl changed the subject.. to food.
…
…
The little boy nodded again.
“Yeah…”
…
… Well good for you…
They were two peas in a pod…
“Well here, eat this!!!!”
…
You can probably guess what happened here, but I’ll explain it to you anyway…
…
One. The girl took out her lunch.
Two. She ripped the lid off.
Three. The tiny boy fearfully stared at the lunchbox.
Four. The girl tried to force the food into his mouth.
“Eat it!! It’s good!! It’s my favorite food!!”
…
…
Maybe she was angry about coming in second.. Or maybe she was embarrassed about having barged in on someone else’s field day.. Whatever the reason, her voice jumped an octave as she forced her lunch on him.
“I’ve… never seen shrimp inside kimbap before…”
The tiny boy looked as though he would cry as he slowly chewed the kimbap.
“I like shrimp!! So I put shrimp in it!! Muhaha!!”
…
…
The girl shoved a kimbap into her mouth, missing the underlying meaning of his words.
…
…
Chew chew chew.
Chew chew chew.
…
…
The two children sat chewing away as the others continued on with their field day.
…
…
Hmm, but doesn’t it seem about time they introduce themselves?
…
“I’m actually supposed to be in school.. but they wanted me to play the gosh dang piano at open house! I didn’t want to play the dang piano so I didn’t go.”
“You’re not supposed to say bad words.”
…
…
The tiny boy shook at the language she used, but that wasn’t important to her. She had shrimp kimbap for lunch. What else mattered?
“Hehehehe!! Tasty, isn’t it?! “
The girl fixed her eyes upon him and laughed with her mouth wide open; bits of kimbap rolling around in plain sight..
“Yeah…”
The boy turned away and nodded out of fear.
“I made it you know!!”
“…”
“My mommy’s really really busy!! She has to make money!! Trying to become super rich or something!! Psh! Who knows why she wants to make so much money.. She can’t even transform into Ho Bbang Man!!”
“…”
…
She had skipped school, eaten her lunch, and found the perfect person to listen to what she had to say. She was on a roll.
“Can you transform into Ho Bbang Man!?”
“No…”
…
The girl hopped on top of the water fountains and waved her arms in the air for the little boy who was forcing down the kimbap.
…
…
Their eyes met.
…
“Ahem. Now watch!!”
…
Would you believe it if I told you that the little girl was the one to look away? She couldn’t seem to look into his eyes for more than a second.. She tried to act cool, but the truth was she was a bit frightened.
“Get bigger, face!! Get bigger, face!! Get bigger and bigger!!”
“…”
“Transform into Ho Bbang Man!!!!”
…
…
Leaving the tiny boy staring up at her, the little girl began twirling around the fountain.
…
…
She must have twirled ten or so times…
…
…
Stories say she got so dizzy she almost fell off…
…
…
“Why… did you cry earlier?”
She stopped mid-transformation and asked him the question that had been on her mind since earlier that day.
“Umph!!”
She jumped back down to the ground to hear his response.
…
…
…
‘MOM’
…
…
He handed her the crumpled piece of paper. On it was printed the word ‘MOM’…
…
And for the first time, he said more than just ‘yes’ or ‘no.’
…
…
“I don’t have one of those…”
…
I don’t have one of those..
…
I don’t have one of those..
…
You know what the funny thing was?
…
The moment the little boy said it, she was able to look him in the eyes…
…
…
Our newly transformed Ho Bbang Man was actually able to look into his tear-filled eyes…
…
“Go Blue Team!!!!!!!!!”
“Go White Team!!!!!!!!!”
…
…
Even while the others continued their cheering..
…
…
“Next up is the fifth grade fan dance!!!!!”
The closing ceremony was beginning.
…
…
“…”
…
…
The two escapees stared into each other’s eyes.
…
…
…
“…”
The little girl was the one to break the trance.
…
Blinking back the tears and swallowing the lump that was threatening to escape, our Ms. Ho Bbang Man opened her mouth.
…
…
She picked up the wrinkled paper as she spoke. Her voice was deep and confident. It was hard to believe that she was just ten years old.
…
…
“Fine!!!! I’ll be your mom!!!!”
…
…..
…….
She really shouldn’t have said that…
…
She should have shared her shrimp kimbap, transformed, and left…
…
Why did she offer to be his mother…?
…
…
Those hopeful words.. Were the reason the little boy had to wait so long.. from so far away.. The little boy.. Kiddo…

- You know Han Na Elementary School, don’t you? Meet me there and wear comfortable shoes -
….
Three days had passed since Tae Yang had forgiven me.. Three days had passed since Ji Sol experienced the audition from Hell.. Three days had passed since the secret I’d sworn to take to my grave had come out..
….
…….
The time of decision was right in front of me!!!!!!!! But really.. was this something you texted people about?
ㅠ0ㅠ
6:50 P.M.
…
………..
‘What’re you going to tell him?’
‘What do you think I’m going to tell him…….?’
‘I’m going to tell you a famous story so listen carefully.’
‘……’
‘The guy you’re supposed to answer to.. He went to the beach last year with his girlfriend. They went out to see the sunrise then he came back alone.”
’..’
‘She cried over him for months and went back to the pension every season and do you know what he said every time he saw her?’
‘…….’
‘Huh? What’re you doing here..?’
- _ -……..
…
…..
Sigh….
I could hear Tae Yang’s voice over and over again in my head. It overlapped the approaching image of Han Na Elementary.
..
…
As you may have already guessed, Han Na Elementary is the school JI Sol had been at when he called me to say Ji Oh was dying.. all to get me to bring him a Bba Bbi Ko.
“I don’t know anymore…”
And just to let you know, Kim Ji Sol was in hiding after the shock of failing his audition and the person who ruined The Lair was nowhere to be found.
..
…
Won Woo oppa was just as difficult to locate as Ji Sol. I had heard nothing from him….. What’s worse was that Woo Sung Boys’ High School had started their vacation two days ago so there was no way of getting in touch with him..
“Wait…”
I was a store away from reaching Han Na Elementary when a voice stopped me in my tracks.
“……”
I was quickening my steps as I thought about the words I’d practiced all night for today. The familiar voice coming from behind was unsettling.
..
……
…….
“……..”
“I said hold on.”
She was the one person I didn’t need to hear from right now, but here she was.
“Oh, it’s you…”
It was Choi Dan Young. I thought I’d sworn never to see Tae Yang’s girl again.
…
….
Not Tae Yang’s girl.. The girl Tae Yang loves…
…
“I talked to Hae Joon oppa a few days ago. He told me to come here today if I had time.”
“…..”
“He said to come see with my own eyes.. and then to leave him alone..”
I didn’t have time to respond. She was right in front of me in no time at all with the saddest expression on her face…
…..
It was the expression she had on her face that night at The Lair as she stroked Hae Joon’s sleeping face..
…..
The kind of expression you only saw in the movies..
“S.. So…?”
“Don’t go.”
“What….?”
“I’ve never asked anything of anyone before until now. Don’t go to oppa.”
Ha.. I shouldn’t go because this was the first favor she’s ever asked..? She spoke again as I sighed. Her eyes were black as she looked down at me.
“No.”
“…..”
“I’m going. Especially because it’s you.”
I walked past her with an even stronger determination. I walked on until I reached the green gates of Han Na Elementary School. I walked on until I saw Hae Joon standing by the drinking fountain waiting for me. I reached for the iron gates..
…
…..
“Please…!!!!”
…
….
The flowers in Hae Joon’s arms were the same yellow flowers from that first day at the airport.
..
She had followed me here. Her voice was tearful.
..
…
Yes, her voice was tearful.
“Flight of the Bumblebee.”
“……”
“That’s the song you were best at.”
“What…?”
“On the piano..”
“How did you…”
“It was the song I was playing when oppa first paid attention to me. He asked me to play it every time I went to The Lair.”
…
….. I turned to face her…
…
There was pain…
…
She was hurting..
..
From her clenched fists to her raspy breathing….
“I knew from the beginning. When I saw the look on his face when you sat down in front of the piano at The Lair..”
“……….”
“I heard Ji Sol oppa’s been really depressed over his audition.”
“So…..?”
“If you go along with me, I can get him in.”
…
…… She was beginning to get on my nerves.
…
“I heard someone ruined The Lair too.”
“…”
“I could get them a place way better than that.”
“Ha………”
“I could even take piano lessons from you.”
“…….. Choi Dan Young…”
“Or..”
…
…..
She looked straight at me.. Her eyes blinked rapidly in order to keep her tears from falling.. and ahe spoke the words that I could never ever forgive her for.
“I could sleep with your brother.”
….
…….
Yup… That’s all you’re worth…..
…
“Choi Dan Young…..”
“So don’t go to oppa….”
“Go.. Go build a shrine for your parents and thank them for giving you that face…”
“…. What…..?”
I speak these words because I’m sincerely worried about you…
“If it wasn’t for that face of your’s, someone would have beat you to death a long time ago.”
“…….”
The blood left her face. She looked like a princess who had been locked in a palace of ice for centuries. She looked like her cold self again.
“So you’re going to go….”
“Yes.”
“What’re you going to say to him?”
“Something you can’t even imagine.”
I didn’t care what she thought as I walked away from her…. I’ve been more than polite to you…. I’ve already sacrificed enough for you…
…
….
“Hey, Han Do Kyung.”
I refused to stop this time.
…
…..
Instead, I smiled widely at Hae Joon, who had just discovered my presence, and nodded as he waved the bouquet of flowers from side to side.
“Well then, I’m going to start doing things YOU can’t even imagine.. Want to take a guess?”
…
…….
But like I said before, I wasn’t going to fall for Choi Dan Young’s tricks. Even if it was blackmail.
…
……….
What was most important to me now was how I felt. The tears I saw in Hae Joon’s eyes when I finally took off the piano cover.
…
The sorry, but passionate answer I’d been pondering all night.
“I told you to wear sneakers. You’re such a bad listener.”
”^-^……….”
\ Han Na Elementary School
He was wearing a t-shirt and loose jeans. His hair was up, just the way I liked it, and he was smiling.
…
….
He might have guessed what had happened just a few minutes ago, but he didn’t say anything. He placed the flowers and a paper bag he was holding on the ground and grinned.
“Have you been waiting long..?”
“Yes.”
“…..-_ -… Psh, so you make me feel bad by saying ‘yes’ right away..?”
“A really long time..”
“…..”
“A really REALLY long time, noona….”
Hae Joon’s voice was longing.. All I could do was stare..
“Stand right here.”
…
….
I watched, confused, as he ran to the opposite end of the field..
…
….
“Yah!! What’re you doing?!!!!!!!!!=0=”
“Stay there and pay attention!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
…-0-….
…=0=……
He waved both arms at me and bent down to re-tie his shoes. Then he half stood in a running position.
“Shin Hae Joon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“………………”
Before I could take a step toward him…
…
Before I could even shout something else at him…
…
…..
What.. in the world.. are you doing…?
…
………………..
“…..”
Shin Hae Joon cut through the humid summer air as he ran towards me.
..
…
His eyes were focused on me and his mouth twitched from trying to fight back his smile..
…
….
He was now a hundred meters away from me, getting closer by the second. I could see his face almost clearly now. He looked like he was holding something back.. but for some reason, it was a sad expression…. He was so close yet he felt so far.. as though he’d never make it to where I was.
..
…
“What… are you doing…?”
“….”
Ha… Ha…
…
….. His breathing was hard by the time he reached his destination….
…
His running had been slow, but his long legs allowed him to cover the distance in a short amount of time.
“I’m here.”
Once again, he uttered words I couldn’t understand. He let down his hair, now covered in droplets of perspiration.
…
“You.. didn’t call me here to time your running, did you?”
I tried to break the awkward moment with a joke..
…
……
“Answer me.”
“…..”
-_ -….
If he wanted an answer, maybe he could start off by telling me why he ran across the field..
…
…..
Hae Joon turned to face the drinking fountain.
“Answer……”
“Yes, your answer.”
..
…….
Once again, he succeeded in confronting me with yet another dreaded moment..
…
“Oh.. um, okay..”
“….”
And so.. I opened my dry lips to respond to the first proposal I’d ever received from a guy..
…
….
I stared at his broad back…
…
…..
The words came out in a hurry as if they wre trying to keep up with his quick breathing.
…
“First of all, thank you..”
“….”
“Thanks to that treatment of your’s that night, I’ve become much more confident.”
…
…..
Really….
…
I can sleep in a dark room all alone now..
“I don’t know when.. but I get the feeling I’ll be able to play the piano again some day..”
“…..”
Hae Joon’s arms twitched..
…
I didn’t have to look to know what the expression on his face would be..
..
…..
He’d be grinning from ear to ear….
….
“And that’s why I’m sorry……”
…
………
“I felt like I’d awaken from a dream that night. I didn’t know what I was supposed to do next.. but I think I’ve finally found my way. I feel like I’ve caught my first glimpse of land after floating endlessly through the Pacific…”
…
……. All thanks to you…….
……..
You’ve given me the greatest gift when I haven’t given you anything at all…..
“So….”
I should’ve realized how small his voice was becoming…
…
….
I should’ve noticed that his rapid breathing had come to an end….
“I’m going to try really hard.. I’m not going to pay attention to or fear anything… I’m just going to look forward and keep on running… Like you did just now…”
“……….”
“So I’m going to be busy for a while.. and you’re too young to accept those needs… In other words, we’re not right for each other, Hae Joon….”
….
…….
I had heard these words recited so many times in dramas. The words I’d thought were so stupid and selfish at the time..
…
I didn’t think I’d be the one to say them…
….
…….
“We aren’t right for each other..”
I couldn’t bear to hold up my head. His voice was bitter as he repeated the words.
“Yeah……”
There was nothing but silence inthe empty schoolyard..
…
“I don’t like stupid words like that..”
“…..”
…
…..
Hae Joon whirled around to face me. His eyes were dark.
“And I hate saying things like this, but..”
“…..”
“………”
……….. What was he trying to say…..?
…..
………
We stood in silence again…
….
He looked down at his mud-covered shoes and turned towards the gate…
…
“You’re a really bad person, noona.”
“…….”
“… Stupid b*stard….”
…
….
He was mumbling to himself..
…
…..
My heart dropped down to my ankles and my surroundings began spinning around me.
…
…..
Hae Joon grew smaller and smaller as he headed for the gates…
…
…..
His back seemed to shout out sadly.
It’s not too late.. Call my name..
I’m okay.. Just call me back..
…
…..
“What… is this….?”
I remembered the bag he had been holding just then. It was under the drinking fountain by the bouquet of flowers..
…
….
‘Crinkle’
…
…..
And even in a moment like this, I couldn’t fight off my curiosity. I reached for the bag and looked inside..
…
……
“…….”
I couldn’t do anything but stare at its contents..
“Shrimp kimbap….”
…
……
It may have looked like any other kimbap to anybody else, but that’s not what was important..
…
…
Ha….
Wait…
…
My eyes drifted to the trackfield Hae Joon had been running on just a few minutes ago..
….
……. This drinking fountain…..
….
The world’s one and only shrimp kimbap….
…..
……….. Han Na Elementary School……
“Kiddo……..”
…
…. It….
…
Couldn’t be………?
…. Hae Joon couldn’t be……. could he……….?…
…
“Shin Hae Joon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
My lonely call rang through the empty field..
..
“Hae Joon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
My legs sprang to life and I was running toward the gates.
…
…..
…
….. You idiot…
… You stupid idiot……
…
You should have said something….
If you wanted me to remember you should have asked me to run WITH you….
…
….
How could I remember if you run alone…?
…
We ran together then…
…
How am I supposed to remember you if you run alone like that…?

….
………
“Put that away, Hae Joon…”
Tae Yang broke the silence that seemed to last forever.. but Hae Joon had no plans to obey. In fact, he took a seat on the floor in front of me.
“So, Ms. Han Do Kyung.”
…
……
And the felt cover that had haunted me for the past ten years was once again placed before me.
“Are you f*cking serious..”
Tae Yang jumped up and came between us. Mong Taek stood up with Tae Yang and now stood blocking me from Hae Joon, his arms spread wide in front of him.
..
…
“Are you going to run away for the rest of your life?”
His words must have had a bigger impact on me than I thought. I was on my feet without realizing it…
“I don’t have to tell you how to tie it, do I?”
…..
……….
Hae Joon offered the piece of cloth to me again as the other three watched in disbelief.
..
….
“I can tie it better than you can.”
I couldn’t believe the words that came out of my mouth. The smooth cover was in my hands.
..
…
….
*Thump thump*
My heart began to race. Eight eyes were focused on me.
“Just to let you know..”
“….”
“I’m extremely pissed off at you.”
“Me too.. I guess we’re even.”
He answered with a grin. It was impossible to understand him. Was he the good guy or the bad guy?
“If this doesn’t change anything, this won’t end with me just being mad at you. It’ll just prove that you were fooling around with me.”
“But noona..”
I wrapped the dusty cloth around my eyes before Tae Yang could object.. I had to find out…. whether the guy that kept pulling me towards him was a good guy or a bad guy…
..
… Hehe…
I never dreamed there’d come a day when I had to put this thing over my eyes again..
…
Never had I thought I’d feel that texture again..
..
….
Hae Joon’s voice floated through the small space between the cover and my ears..
“You can’t see anything, can you…?”
..
….
…………..
Nope.. Not even your shadows…
My nose was tingling again.. I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes as I felt the world abandoning me again..
“…….”
Something grasped my fumbling hands. Even through the blinding dark I could tell they were Hae Joon’s hands..
I had felt these hands before.. The way they were so soft and warm was something I found surprising..
..
….
“There was nothing stopping you from taking the cover off yourself, noona. You could have easily removed it with your very hands.”
“….”
“So why didn’t you…?”
“What are you trying to pull…?”
“Tell us…”
“Was this it..? This is why you made me relive an experience I’ve spent years trying to erase..?”
“Tell us. The reason you didn’t..”
“…. Because then I’d know….”
“Know what?”
“That no one was there…”
……..
It happened just as the voice in my head was beginning to register Shin Hae Joon as the bad guy.
*Slip*
At the same time Tae Yang let out a great sigh, Hae Joon slid the piano cover away from my face..
“………”
He was facing me; his eyes were red, but he was smiling.
……
…………….
“Do you see my face…?”
“……..”
His face came into focus.
….
…
Yes, I see it.. I see it very clearly…….
Your disheveled hair… dark brown eyes… pretty lips… thick eyebrows… I see it all…
“It doesn’t matter how many times you cover your eyes and open them again.. I’ll always be here.”
“……”
“So you don’t have to wait for anything anymore…”
..
………
“Haha.. Idiot.. That’s what you came up with…..? You really are an idiot.. Typical Shin Hae Joon…”
The four of them closed in around me as if to hide my tears.. TaeJiMong unclenched their fists and released their tension…. Ji Sol tightened his arms around us, closing in any open space…
..
….
“Thanks for everything…. you losers….”
My voice came out a low whisper..
..
….
….
“If you’re truly thankful, don’t forget to give me an answer within the next three days.”
And with that, Hae Joon disappeared from the lair..
..
…
……………
“Three days..? What was he talking about before he left..?”
“And why did he have that piano cover wrapped around his neck?”
..
…..
Jang Mong Taek and Han Tae Yang were the first ones to get a hold of themselves.
“Never mind the piano cover. He’s always been slightly perverted.. But what’s up with the three days..?”
“What do you mean, never mind?!! He’s been acting weird for a while now!! With used towels, worn socks, and now that piano cover!! What if he shows up one day with all that crap wrapped around his body?!!=0=”
….
Wait.. What was going on around here..?
…………
“Just yesterday, he was annoyed with Do Kyung noona and called her an old squash.”
Tae Yang sounded sincerely confused.
“What do you mean? Why was he mad at me?”
His words triggered something in my head. I was completely focused again.
“He said that you went around showing people his pictures as Miss Shin, laughing at him, that day you went to Soo Yeon noona’s house..”
“What!?!?!?”
I didn’t know what to say to such a ridiculous accusation.
“Who told you THAT!!!?!?!?!!!”
“Who do you think? It was Chae Won Woo.”
“What..???!”
“Won Woo hyung. Don’t you remember Won Woo hyung?”
Ha… Wait.. I don’t understand…. So that’s why Hae Joon’s been acting so………..
“This noona’s a freak!! She has multiple personalities!!!!!=0=”
“I never did that!!!!!!!!!”
“Mr. Chae wouldn’t lie to us!!!!!!!!!!”
“Are you sure, Han Tae Yang?! Won Woo oppa really said that!?!?”
Tae Yang took a step backward at my sudden outburst.
“Well, Hae Joon said he mentioned it jokingly.. but I wasn’t speaking to you so I couldn’t really say anything.. Hae Joon just said to ignore it, so that’s what I did….”
“…….”
“But what did he mean by ‘three days later’….?”
…
……
This made no sense.. No.. Why would Won Woo oppa do that to me…? Won Woo oppa of all people..
“Did Hae Joon ask you out…?”
“Is that it!? Is that what he’s waiting for!!?!”
…
…..
Tae Yang and Mong Taek were shouting over themselves to make their voices heard. Ji Sol’s mouth was shut tightly and he looked down at the broken remnants of his CDs.
“Are you deaf, lady?!!!!!!!!!!!=0=”
“Did he as you out?!!!!!!!!!!!! What does he want you to answer to in three days, noona?!!!!!!!!!!!”
The two just wouldn’t let it go.
“YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He says he can stop my tears!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
I hadn’t planned on answering them, but my head was about to burst with my thoughts of Won Woo oppa and I couldn’t stand the yelling.
“Where are you going, Ji Sol?!!!!!!!!!=0=”
…
…..
We looked up to see Ji Sol turn away and walk slowly toward the door.
“Huh? What’s up with him =0=!!? Is he in shock because Hae Joon likes Do Kyung noona =0=??”
“You call that an explanation!?! Prepare for a beating first thing tomorrow!!”
“Why?!!!!”
“Whose fault is it that Ji Sol failed his audition, you d*mn monkey!!!!!!!!”
“Whose =0=?!!!”
“I dare you to say you putting oil on the stage had nothing to do with it!!!!!!!!!”
….
I took advantage of this distraction to slip away from Tae Yang and Mong Taek.
…
……
“Is this Won Woo oppa’s house……….?”
…
……
11:12 P.M.
The place I headed for wasn’t the place Hae Joon had disappeared to… nor was it the place Ji Sol had disappeared to. It was the place I’d been to so many times as a child.
“Yes, but Won Woo isn’t home right now.”
…
……
I was at the home of the man who was now giving me the chills. My Prince Charming.
“When will he be back..?”
“I don’t know..”
..
…..
And that was it……. I waited until the sun came up, but my Prince Charming never showed up..
..
…
Riiiing. Riiiing. Riiiing. Riiiing.
I must have called him more than a hundred times, but he refused to grace me with his voice..
..
…..
It was as though he wanted the voice in my head to confirm him as an ‘@sshole’ as soon as possible.
…
“Won Woo oppa……….”
And time ticked away as usual…

….
………
“Stop joking around….”
“Something like this has happened before…”
“Things are different now!!!!!!!!”
“You weren’t even here back then!!!!!!!!!!”
“Won Woo oppa is not that type of person!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“………..”
Ha…….. Ha……………
…
……..
The Won Woo oppa I know… would never do something like this….
\ HaeTaeJiMong’s (Ruined) Lair
More than ten minutes had passed since we arrived at the place Ji Sol had left the last of his traces.
..
….
We were in the place where your worst dreams could come true. Cathead spat out the name I’d been dreading to hear.
‘Chae Won Woo’
…
…..
The name lifted my fallen heart from the ground and pounded it to pieces.
“Think what you want, but that’s what I’m telling the guys.”
“Ha.. Fine.. Do what you want.. See what I do…..”
“F*ck!!!!!!!!!!!”
“………………..”
“I’m going to KILL Chae Won Woo..”
“Ahn Soo Hyun…..”
…
……
Cathead moved away from me.
“Ahn Soo Hyun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
I called his name for the very first time..
…
…..
“Soo Hyun!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
But the louder I called, the faster he moved away from me..
“What do you want me to do?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
…
…..
I was alone again; the thing I dreaded the most. I let out a wail.
…
….
Ha.. What did they want me to do…? What could I do if they pushed me away at the last moment…?
What could I possibly do when they held out their hand for help then retracted it again, only to treat me like an outsider…..?
…
“Mm… mmm….”
…
…..
A strange buzzing reached my ears. It was the sound of a low voice.
…
…..
“Mm… mmm….”
It wasn’t exactly singing, but a low, longing cry issuing from deep within the throat..
…
“Who’s…. there…?”
“Mm… mm………”
One step.
Two steps.
…
But the harder I tried to approach the sound, the smaller it got..
…
“Ji… Sol?”
“…….”
The sound was coming from behind an old wooden panel that neither Cathead nor I had thought to check.
“Hehe… Noona….”
…
….. Ha…
The tears began rolling down my cheeks again.. Ji Sol looked up at me with swollen eyes..
..
.
….
His hair was a mess and his shoes were missing..
…
…..
The broken cds were clutched tightly to his chest..
“What are you doing down there…?”
…
….
I fell to the floor before him and met his eye..
…
“I’m sorry… noona…….. I’m sorry I let you down….”
He turned his gaze away from me and opened his eyes evern wider..
…
….
*Drop*
A tear dropped to the ground and I couldn’t help myself. I wrapped my arms around him without hesitation.
“Will you hide my tears when Hae Joon and Tae Yang come….?”
“…….”
“They’ll get mad at me if I cry in front of them……… Will you hide it from them, noona…?”
“You idiot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“………..”
“Do you think hiding your tears makes you cool!???!! You cry when you want to cry and smile when you want to smile. That’s what makes you cool!!!!!!!! Don’t try to hide it!!!!!!!! Just cry!!!!!!!!!!! Don’t just hold it in like an idiot!!!!!!!!!”
…
…. Don’t hold it in.. Just cry…
… Please… Don’t hold it in like a fool…
…
……..
I might have been directing the words to myself… To the pain lodged in my own chest…
…
We broke into sobs simultaneously..
.. What can I do.. He’s in so much pain…
….
……… I don’t feel him breathing…
….
……… I don’t feel his heart beating….
..
“Ji Sol…. Ji Sol……”
He was frozen in my arms; sobbing without taking the time to breathe..
…
…..
“It’s okay.. I know how hard this has been on you…… So very hard….”
…
…….
The words I’d wanted to hear the most..
….
….. I know how hard it’s been on you, Do Kyung…
… It must’ve been so hard being all alone….
“Do you remember, Ji Sol..? Do you remember our bet? The loser has to reveal their secret..”
I spoke before I had the chance to think about what I was saying.
…
…..
Ji Sol stopped crying and looked up with a dazed expression on his face..
…
….
His clear eyes gave me the courage to go on..
..
I grinned sheepishly and went on..
…
….
I unraveled the secret that I’d buried in my heart so long ago..
…
…………
“I might have won that bet… but I’ll tell you my secret first if it’ll make you feel better..”
“…..”
“You know… I… was never a genius….. I was never interested in the piano… I never wanted to become a pianist.. Not once. All I wanted was my mom’s attention… That’s right… I just wanted my mom’s attention; she was always so busy.. I just wanted her to hold me once…… To accept me.. just once… Come to think of it.. I don’t remember my mom ever having come into my room… That’s why I practiced.. Behind my mom’s back, behind my dad’s back…
There was an old piano in an abandoned cafe.. I went there every day.. I practiced until my fingers became as swollen as my big toe.. Hehe….”
…
…. Ji Sol looked down at my outstretched fingers..
….
……
“All so I could play a single song.. All that work to play the song that would put a smile on my mother’s face.. A seven year old girl ran her fingers over the piano keys every single day for days on end….”
…
…..
I could see the image clearly in my head..
…
The welcoming applause.. The bright smile on my mother’s face as she pulled me into a tight hug; a smile I’d never seen before..
….
…. The way she’d taken my hand and led me straight to the piano academy…..
…..
“And then when I was ten, I was sent to America all by myself.. I cried and pleaded that I didn’t want to go, but it was no use.. My mom was certain… I had put my blood and sweat into learning that one piece over the course of a year, but my mom was certain that the miracle had happened overnight…..”
“………..”
“So I ended up in America…….. and I was enrolled in a school full of blondes and brunettes….”
…
….
The tears streaked down my face before I became aware of what was happening.
…
…..
No, Han Do Kyung.. Be strong..
…..
….. Please…… Stop crying…..
…
“Noona.. You don’t have to tell me if it’s that painful….”
“No.. I want to, Ji Sol…”
“…..”
“The first day of school…. they found me interesting. With my black hair and yellow skin.. They approached me with interest.. The teacher introduced me as the little Korean genius. They were all so eager as they asked me to play something for them..”
…
…. Yes… They all gathered around me after school….
…
…..
I sat in front of the grand piano, trembling so hard that everything was a great big blur..
…
They all clapped, egging me on….
….
……
They wanted to see my great talent for themselves…
“Flight of the Bumblebee…”
“….”
“Do you know that piece….? It was the song they wanted to hear. The one song I knew how to play… I was so relieved.. I placed my hands atop the keys with such confidence.. But I don’t know why it happened.. Why my fingers decided to turn to stone in that instant…. Why there wasn’t any feeling in the tips of my fingers……
Because my mother wasn’t there to hear me..? Because the only reason I’d played in the first place was missing.?”
…
…..
The last words escaped my lips in a soft hiss.
..
Ji Sol’s hands were busy wiping the tears from my face..
…
……
“I failed dismally that day… The kids snickered as if that was what they’d been waiting for all along….”
Like that day in this container box. The day Dan Young and insisted I play….
…
…..
“I charged at them… Hehe.. But those kids were strong.. They enveloped me in no time.. I guess I should’ve expected no less from ten blondes….”
…
……
The faint sound of approaching footsteps didn’t deter us from pushing forward.. It was nothing.. Insignificant…
..
“Ji Sol.. Have you ever been locked in complete darkness for over twenty hours…?”
“…. No….”
“Have you ever sung for twenty straight hours….?”
“No….”
“How about… crying for twenty hours….?”
“…………”
“That was my first time…”
“….”
“They… tied the felt piano cover over my eyes… Hehe.. I didn’t think a piece of felt could produce such darkness.. I couldn’t see a thing. You might not believe me, but it was utter darkness and infinite silence…
All I could do was pound on the keys.. Pound on the keys and cry… I hit those keys until I lost all feeling in my hands… I kept on pounding…….
After an hour or so, they lost interest and left…
But I kept pounding. I pounded on those keys until the teacher pried me away the next morning…..
I thought my mom would come……. I thought she’d come if I played hard enough…….. I thought they’d hear me…. I thought they’d come for me…. My dad.. my mom… and Tae Yang………. I thought they’d come to take me back home…………………………”
“Noona…………….”
“Heuk…. I thought that if I could just break my fingers… You’d come back for me… Han Tae Yang……”
…
…..
Tae Yang and Hae Joon appeared in the doorway..
…
…..
I directed my pain to the immobile figure standing before me..
“Noona….. I’m sorry….”
“What am I supposed to do now….? What am I supposed to tell mom…? What’s my excuse… How do I get away from all of this..? What do I do…..?”
…
…..
Tae Yang dropped to his knees and pulled me in.
“I’m sorry, noona….. I’m sorry for acting like a jerk….”
…
…..
We must’ve looked like idiots. Me holding Ji Sol and Tae Yang holding me..
…
“No, Tae Yang!!!!! That’s your biological sister!!!!!!!=0=”
We woke up from our moment of sadness at the sound of Mong Taek’s bewildered voice.
“Stop overreacting and get up.”
I’d forgotten all about him. He stood in front of Mong Taek holding something I never wanted to see again.
….
………
“What are you doing, Shin Hae Joon….?”
Tae Yang spoke up..
“Cover your eyes with this again.”
…
…..
He took the dusty felt cover from his piano and held it out to me.
…
……
“What the hell do you think you’re doing?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
..
……
*Slip*
…
……
I stared at the thing in my lap and looked back up at him.
…
…… What…..?
He jerked his head toward the cover at the tips of my hand.
“Just like that day. Be prepared to relive the suffocating pain.”
…
…..
Just like that day..
Relive the pain…

……
……………..
“That’s right, I’m talking to you. Puhahaha. Manager hyung!! You saw that, right? How he fell on his back up there?”
…
……
We stood behind the same stage Ji Sol must have been mustering all his courage to get up on just a few moments ago.
\
“What’re you staring at? Don’t you know you’re not allowed back here?”
…
…..
He had no idea how much trouble he was in.. He looked haughty with his white powdered face as he looked up at us from his special little couch.
..
….
Tae Yang and Hae Joon exchanged a smirk and approached, not him, but his manager.
“Wh.. what..?”
The manager took a step backward as two boys, both a head taller than himself, moved toward him.
“Oh nothing.. Just thought we’d ruin the rest of the day’s schedule for your b*stard here.”
…
Goddamn……….
……
And then it started.
“AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“SOMEONE CALL SECURITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
People started scattering out of the tent as the chaos started and the jerk fell to the floor in “pain.”
“AHCK!!!!!! I’m dying!!!!!!!!!! Hyung, those b*stards……. those f*ckin’ b*stards….!!! Mommy!!!! AHHH!!!! MOMMY!!!!!!!ㅠ0ㅠ”
“Oh, hyung! Oh, mommy! Call for you daddy too, why don’t you -0-??”
“HanTaeng! Don’t touch his teeth!! It costs too much to replace them!!”
Hae Joon and Tae Yang were putting on quite a show with their fists.
“Niiiiice!!!!!!!=0= Now tie his tongue so he can’t talk crap on anyone again!!!!!!!!!!=0=”
It’s not like I acted my age before so I had no problem urging them on.
..
…..
“Get your hands off of him, *ssholes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
The manager reentered the scene with a team of staff.
“Get them from behind!!!!!! From behind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“No, get them from above!! From above!!!!!!!”
It looked like a football match as one person jumped on top of another.
‘Boom boom boom boom boom ♬♬♩!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!’
The music blasted from the speakers, egging on the fight.
“MOVE!!!!!!!!!=0=”
I threw myself into the pile of tangled bodies to play heroine and rescue the two rascals.
“Excuse me! Has anyone seen any guys in drenched clothes?!!!!!!!… =0=… What the hell is that…?”
The pile had grown bigger by the time Cathead returned from his trip to the restroom.
“Ahn Soo Hyun!!!!!!! Take noona and go find Ji Sol!!!!!!!!!!”
“Wh.. what are you guys doing in there..=0=..?”
“Take noona and go!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“You want me to leave you here alone!?!??!”
“Ahn Soo Hyun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
…
…..
At the sound of Hae Joon’s voice, I poked my disheveled head out of the mess and looked toward Cathead.
..
….
No, your name can’t be Ahn Soo Hyun. It just wouldn’t be right. It wouldn’t be right for you to have such a pretty name. =0=
..
….
“Listen to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“Going!!!!!!!! I’m going, you liars!!!!!!!!!!”
..
…..
The boy with the unusually pretty name took hold of my arm and pulled.
“Let go let go let go!!!! I said let go of me!!!!!! I need to rescue them!!!!!!!”
“F*ck, you’re heavy!!!!!!!! How many sacks of rice are you?!!!”
“Put me down!!!!!!! Put me down you monster!!!!!!ㅠ0ㅠ!?!?”
…
The mountain of humans became more and more distant.
…
……..
The mountain that would serve as the grand finale of this heated show.
…
………………
…………
“I knew something would go wrong when Mong Taek appeared as a squirrel in my dream!!!!!!”
…
……
\ 12:26 P.M.
We were on a bus heading back to Bucheon. Cathead exhaled the smoke from his cigarette in short breaths out the window.
..
….
Mong Taek as a squirrel.. Not a raccoon, not a beaver, but a squirrel.. He was a squirrel, huh..?
“Must’ve been a nightmare…”
“And you!!!!!!!”
“-_-……..”
“If you’re Tae Yang’s older sister, you should have stopped him. Not join in!!!!!!!=0=”
“Fights weren’t meant to be stopped.. they were meant to be fought..-_ -..”
“Is that the mentality you’ve been living with all these years!??”
That little..=0=..
“What about you?! Is that the face you’ve been living with all these years!!=0=!?
“You just fix the scratches you put on my face!!!! It was bad enough without these scars!!!!!!!!ㅠ0ㅠ”
“Hey, mister!! This kid’s smoking on the bus!!!!!!!!!!=0=”
If you’ve been paying attention, you’d know that I was practically kidnapped and forced onto this bus.
-_ -…
..
….
‘Go to Bucheon and find Ji Sol. We’ll be cooling off at Ho Dol hyung’s place.’
Tae Yang had sent this message to Cathead’s phone just thirty minutes ago.
..
-_ -…
Ho Dol hyung’s place.. So I guess they were at some police station near Dae Hak Ro.. [Ho Dol is the mascot of Korean police stations.]
…
….
“But why do I have to sit next to you on the ride home?!!!!!!!!”
“Do you have bus fare!?!? Do you have enough money to get home if I leave you alone?!!”
D*mn it. He’d been poking at the fact that I had no money all throughout the ride..-_ -..
“Ugh. What are you going to do about these marks on my face..?!”
Cathead turned his back to me and looked at his own reflection in the window.
..
….
They were like the swift movements of Zorro. The zigzagging nail marks covered his entire face..-_ -..
“Where are we going, anyway..-_ -..?”
I calmed down a bit as the bus emerged from the tunnel.
“We’re heading to The Lair first.”
Cathead shoved his second cigarette through the window.
“That place is destroyed. I already told you. It’s been trashed.”
..
….
No matter how many times I tried to explain, he just wouldn’t listen.
“Pooooooo. =0=”
He ignored me, puffing more smoke out the window.
…
…..
“What the f*ck…”
It wasn’t until he looked at the wreck himself that he realized I’d been right.
\ HaeTaeJiMong’s (Ruined) Lair
“See, I told you so…..”
…
……
Ignoring my comment, Cathead walked through the wreckage.
..
….
He looked like he was in more shock now than he had been in when he first saw the pile of bodies earlier. His arms were trembling.
“Noona……. Did you know about this..?”
“That’s what I’ve been trying to tell you all this time..”
…
…….
“Ha.. Haha.. This is ridiculous.. What the hell?!!!!! Who did this?!!!!!!! Who f*cked this place up?!!!!!!!!!!!”
…
…..
Shouting won’t fix anything..
…
…..
Cathead walked through the debris, crushing the shattered glass into the ground.
“If I catch the b*stard who did this, I’m going to kill him!!!!!!! It took the guys years to build this!!!!!!! They put everything into it..!!!!!!!!!!”
…
……..
A bigger worry entered my mind..
..
…..
If Cathead was crying over this, how would the others react when they found out what happened here…?
…
……….
“Wait.. What’s this..?”
Just when I was being overcome by a wave of fear, Cathead stopped mumbling to himself and walked over to the corner of the room.
“…. What is it…..?”
Forgetting my fears for a moment, I walked over to the crouched figure of Cathead..
…
……..
“I think.. Ji Sol was here..”
He held up the badge JI Sol had been wearing at the audition.
…
……
“Ji Sol still isn’t picking up, is he…?”
He nodded sadly, clenching the badge tightly in his fist.
…
…..
“Now that you mention it.. I think there were a lot of broken CDs laying around.. but they’re not here anymore..”
…
…..
My voice sounded quiet and distant.
“But do you know what the worst news is, noona?”
..
…..
Cathead finally got to his feet.
..
…..
“………. I don’t know……….”
…
….
My voice rang through the empty room.
“Ha…………..”
I was more nervous now than I had been when Wonwoo oppa had told me the scary story..
..
….
“I know who did this.”
His words gripped around my heart and threw it as far as possible from my chest.

“Bom chi gi bom chi gi bom bom bom =0=”
…
…….
It had taken so much effort to stop Ji Sol from running away and to get him up there on that stage.. but now came a moment that I wished I hadn’t gone to all that trouble.
\
“What the hell is that b*stard doing up there….?”
“He looks like he’s still drunk.”
Girls shrieked in shock from all throughout the audience while Hae Joon and Tae Yang tried to figure out what was happening on the stage.
“Noona.. You’re the only sane one here. What does that look like to you?”
Cathead continued to stare, frozen in shock.
…
…
“That’s… Mong Taek……..”
…
…..
When I finally opened my mouth to say what everyone else had been dreading, the three next to me lowered their heads in unison.
…
…..
“Chuki chuki chuki chuki? c? c? c=0=”
..
…….
There on the stage stood Jang Mong Taek; he was polluting the stage with his ridicuous beatboxing.
“Mi Jung.. I think he’s coming closer and closer….”
“F*ck!! Don’t look him in the eyes!! He keeps winking at us!!ㅠ0ㅠ”
..
….
We tried to ignore him so people wouldn’t think we were with him.
..
….
“Choki choki choki choki bong bong bong ♬”
But the b*stard kept coming closer, his movements becoming bolder with every step.
“Yahhh!!! Stop coming closer!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“Get away, dumb*ss!!!!!!!!=0=^”
ㅡ0ㅡ…
…..
Tae Yang and Cathead yelled out before they even knew what they were doing.
..
….
“Ahck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!=0=”
…
…..
After three long minutes of his mortifying one man show, he slipped and toppled off the stage.
…
…..
“Ha.. Haha… Hahaha… Well then, I guess it’s time to call up auditionee number two..”
…
…..
The hostess wiped the sweat from her brows as she reappeared.
..
….
Mong Taek jumped back to his feet and scratched his head.
“Hehehe.. I guess I went a little overboard - 0 - ..”
And then it was time…
….
…….
“I’m going to blink three times. You better go hide before I finish..”
“Hae Joon!! Calm down and let me explain!! If you hear me out, you’ll understand!!!!!!”
“One….”
“Stop, Hae Joon!!!!!!!!! ㅠ0ㅠ Do Kyung noona!! You understand, don’t you!?!? That time Ji Oh explained the Chess Theory to us?!!! You were there for the Chess Theory!!ㅠ0ㅠ!”
…..
Chess Theory………….
‘If you already know what to expect, then you’ll succeed. But if you don’t, it either makes no difference or you end up doing worse.’
- Han Ji Oh -
…
……..
Mong Taek.. You didn’t..
“Yup!! That’s exactly it, hehehehe!!!=0= By going up there and dancing, I broke the scene everyone had been expecting!!! Tada!! And look!!!!!“
…
…….
Paying no heed to the fact that the four of us were trying to ignore him, Jang Mong Taek took off his shoes to show us his soles.
“I rubbed grease all over the bottom of my shoes!!!!! See?!! Now everyone coming up onstage will slip and fall. And our Ji Sol will be free to pass his audition!!!!”
“Is that motor oil?”
Hae Joon looked dead serious.
“Yup!! It sure is motor oil!! How is it that you’re as smart as you are good looking? >ㅇ<”
“Tae Yang, pass me a lighter.”
“Here.”
-_ -…
… Mong Taek…… If I were you, I’d throw those shoes away and run for my life…
“What are you going to do with that…..? =0=… Why are you lighting that thing….?”
Please.. It’s not too late.. Just run away..
“W.. What are you going to do with that thing.. Hae Joon =0=..?”
“…….”
“Tae.. Taeng.. What are you going to do with that lighter..?”
“………”
“G.. Guys.. Are you listening to me =0=..?”
…
……….
“Now, Hae Joon. Light it.”
It happened just as auditionee number two started C-walking across the stage. Despite Mong Taek’s efforts to prevent him from doing a good job, the auditionee floated across the stage.
“You can’t do this!!!!!!!! You can’t do this!!!!!!!!!!=0=”
The security team rushed forward as Mong Taek faced the biggest obstacle of his life.
…
….
“Wahhhhhhh ㅠ0ㅠ Those jerks tried to kill me!! They really tried to kill me ㅠ0ㅠ!!!”
…
…..-_ -……
But the only person to be dragged away by security was Jang Mong Taek.
“Sigh…..”
…
……
It was truly regrettable that his body wasn’t completely covered in gasoline.
…
I know I should feel bad saying this, but I truly mean it.
\ 11:20 A.M.
“Wow. Auditionee number three’s performance was nothing short of the spectacular things we’ve seen of him through various internet portals.”
…
……
He was right. Despite Mong Taek’s attempt to sabotage Ji Sol’s competitors, auditionee number three put on an amazing performance.
“Ji.. Ji Sol’s next, isn’t he?”
“Yeah.”
“Well I’ll just take a short trip to the restroom. My poo wants to take a look at the outside world..”
“Hey, hey…..=0=.. You can’t leave, you b*stard!!!!!!!”
…
……
Fifteen minutes had passed since Mong Taek was dragged away by security and all three auditionees had put on wonderful performances.
…
…..
“Sorry!!!!!!! But I can’t bear to watch!!!!!!!ㅠ0ㅠ”
We were mere seconds away from Ji Sol’s performance.
…
“You pathetic b*stard!!!!!!!=0=”
Cathead shook from head to toe as he jumped out of the chair and ran away.
..
……..
What did this mean?
“Okay!! Would auditionee number four please come up?!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
…
….
A sign of success..? Or the curse of failure..?
…
….
“WOOOO!!!!!!!!”
The sound of girls’ screaming hit my ears as soon as I closed my eyes.
“Well!!! It seems like our next contestant is by far the cutest!!! What’s your name!?”
“Ji Sol. Kim Ji Sol.”
“Okay. Is there anything you’d like to say before you start your dance routine?”
…
Opening my eyes and looking to the side, I could see Hae Joon and Tae Yang simultaneously shifting their gazes to the ground.
…
….
Keke.. I guess they get nervous too every now and then..
I covered my mouth as a slight grin spread across my face.
..
…..
And the words that escaped Ji Sol’s mouth made me look up again..
…
……
“I’m sorry, Hae Joon.”
What……??? ㅇ_ㅇ???
After murmuring those words, Ji Sol looked at me with a blank expression and smiled ever so lightly.
‘BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM’
The fast-paced beats marked the beginning of Ji Sol’s routine. It marked the beginning of Ji Sol’s flight.
..
…..
The hundreds of people in the crowd all fell silent..
…
Stamping his name into each and every person in the audience..
..
….
“Was he talking to ME..?”
Hae Joon raised an eyebrow and tilted his head to the side.
…
“……”
Ji Sol approached the front of the stage and locked eyes with me.
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM.
The boyish girl behind the drums played harder as the crowd became louder.
“Success of Germ Man.”
And with that he jumped up high into the air. I felt an electric shock wave through my body.
..
“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
…
…..
The girl sitting behind Tae Yang screamed and the trance Ji Sol had put over the audience shattered to pieces.
…
….
“Oh dear. Auditionee number four has slipped on the stage..”
The host’s voice rang in my ears.
“… Ji Sol…”
Ji Sol’s round eyes looked into mine as he lay on his back on the cold stage.
..
…..
A tear ran down his face.
“Kim Ji Sol!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
The four of us jumped up, knocking over our chairs, and ran behind the stage Ji Sol had run off to.
“Oh.. He went that way..”
The person who met us wasn’t Ji Sol, but one of he security guards who’d taken Mong Taek away..
“Puhahaha! What was it you said again? He’s going to sing, earn his applause, and spread his name?? Are you sure you didn’t mean he’s going to have a spasm, fall down, and then get his name known??”
…
……
It was the b*stard. The b*stard from the tent that tested my patience even moreso than Choi Dan Young.
..
….
He smirked as he attached his mic to his chest.
“Are you talking to us?”
Oh boy, I think it’s safe to say that you’re not going up onstage today….
