-Song Ji Hyo-

"No, Kwang Soo you have to use the air pump!" I handed it to him.

  Kwang Soo took it from me. "Thank you, this is going to make it so much easier. Woo Bin, hand me some balloons". Kwang Soo started to fill one up with air and just as he tied it up, the balloon popped. Kwang Soo and Woo Bin both had a hilarious startled expression on their face which made me laugh.

"Why did it pop?" Woo Bin asked.

"Let me try again." Kwang Soo filled another one up and tied it. He set the balloon on the ground and Woo Bin sighed with relief and started to blow his balloon again. Kwang Soo was about to fill another one up when the balloon that was on the ground popped again causing the two boys to have the same startled expression again.

"ANDWAE!" Kwang Soo shouted.

"Just go to the store and buy some that have already been blown." Jae Suk said.

"But the party store is so far!" Woo Bin complained.

"Ey, get up. We're grown men, we can do this." Kwang Soo pulled Woo Bin up from the ground and they both left.

I laughed. "I have a feeling that something is going to happen between them."

Gary nodded. "Me too."

-Lee Kwang Soo-

Kim Woo Bin put all the balloons in the back seat of our car and closed all of the windows so that they wouldn't pop. I started to drive and Woo Bin played the song 'Ring Ding Dong' by a new boy group called Shinee.

"Ring Ding Ding Dong..." Woo  Bin and I sang along.

Everything was going fine until we heard one of the balloons pop.

"ANDW--." I started to say, but Woo Bin covered my mouth with his hand.

"Shh." He whispered and he removed his hand from my mouth after I licked it.

"You think being quiet is going to stop the balloons from popping?" I asked loudly.

More balloons popped as soon as I said that. Woo Bin gave me a glare and I decided to just keep quiet. We reached Jong Kook's house and thankfully no more balloons popped.

"Well at least they didn't pop, right?" I asked as I took off my seatbelt.

At that moment, all the balloons popped at once in the backseat. Woo Bin and I slowly turned around and saw all the remains of the balloons on the ground. How is that even possible????

"Aish..." Woo Bin said in annoyance.

"This kid is seriously bad luck." Woo Bin told everyone as we entered Jong Kook's house.

"Why?" HaHa asked.

"You don't have to tell them.." I said as I handed Lizzy balloons.

"We had to go back twice for balloons." Woo Bin sat on the couch. "Every time Kwang Soo talked one of the balloons popped."

Everyone started laughing and I felt embarrassed

Jae Suk wiped his tears. "Really?"

"YAH! It's not funny!" I said.

"It's hilarious!" Jong Kook corrected.

"It's Shinee's fault!" I blamed.

"Yah! How can you blame the music?!" Gary said in disbelief.

"I don't know why we're skipping our day at Jong Kook's house." I sat down on the couch.

"Because my house has everything." Jong Kook answered.

Eun Hye nodded. "Swimming pool, hot tub, balcony, food...."

"As long as there's food I'm good." HaHa said while he was putting up streamers.

Suddenly the doorbell rang. "Who could it be?" Suzy asked.

Ji Hyo walked to the door and opened it. "SUK JIN!"

Ji Suk Jin walked in and everyone cheered. "Hello!"

"Yah, You really got famous before me!" Jae Suk walked towards Suk Jin and hugged him tightly. "It's good to see you in person again."

"Your variety show is awesome!" Gary clapped Suk Jin's Hand. "I'm a huge fan."

"I swear! By the moon and the stars!" HaHa teased with a smile.

Suk Jin's face turned red with embarrassment. "Thank you." He noticed me and smiled. "Kwang Soo."

"HYUNG!" I hugged him tightly. I really liked Suk Jon even though I never had the chance to personally get to know him.

Suk Jin laughed. "HYUNG? You guys must have really missed me!"

"Of course!" Jong Kook smiled.

HaHa nodded. "Why wouldn't we miss you? You're our senior!"

Suk Jin smiled and closed the door. "So, what are you guys planning? Is it somebody's birthday? Wait, why aren't you guys in school?"

"Aish, this ahjussi is filled with questions." Ji Hyo smiled then answered, "Senior Skip Day. It's tomorrow and we're in charge of it."

"Hey, you had senior skip day, right? Can you give us some ideas?" Jong Kook asked.

I noticed Suk Jin's expression change from happy to upset. "I... I wasn't a part of it. You guys never told me about it, and made sure I didn't go."

There was an awkward silence in the room after he said that.

"Yah, why would you ask him that?" I was about to slap Jong Kook's shoulder, but decided not to after he gave me a death glare. If looks could kill, I'd probably already be in my grave.

"Sorry." I said quickly and walked over to Ji Hyo.

"Sorry." Jong Kook told Suk Jin. "You can help us plan this one!"

"Really?" Suk Jin asked.

Jong Kook nodded. "Yes. I think Woo Bin might need some help in the kitchen."

"Okay!" Suk Jin happily ran into the kitchen.

"It's good to see him back." Jae Suk smiled. "It's not the same without everyone? Speaking of everyone, where's Joongki?"

"He said he couldn't make it." Ji Hyo frowned. "He had to go visit his family somewhere in Seoul, but he wouldn't tell me the exact location."

"That's too bad." Eun Hye sighed. "It would've been more fun if everyone was here."

Ji Hyo nodded. "Yeah. I have to go get the rest of the decorations upstairs."

I watched her as she went upstairs. "Yah, Jong Kook. I don't know my way around this house. You're the expert since you live here. Can you put these useless balloons away?"

Jong Kook nodded and took the pack of balloons from me. "Yeah. I'll just go put them back in my room."

-Song Ji Hyo-

I carried the boxes and was struggling while taking them down the stairs. I couldn't see what was in front of me so I was afraid of tripping over a step.

"Oh, let me help you."

I recognized that voice immediately. "No, it's okay. I got it."

"No, let me help." Jong Kook took two of the boxes from me leaving me with only one. "You found these fast."

I shrugged. "Well ,I did live in your house for two weeks."

Jong Kook chuckled. "That's true."

We stood there in an awkward silence.

I coughed. "I should go."

I walked past him and Jong Kook held onto my hand, which made me stop. We turned around to face each other.

"I haven't been ignoring you." Jong Kook said. "I'm just... unusually happy with me relationship with Eun Hye." He smiled a little bit. "I was planning on doing something special for her tonight... and just wanted to let you know that no matter what happens... we're still... friends."

"I know, and I'm happy in my relationship with Gary." I said.

Jong Kook nodded and let go of my hand. "Okay... so I guess this is it for us."

"I guess it is." I said and went downstairs with a sigh.

***

The next day all of the seniors arrived at Jong Kook's house, and right now a dance karaoke party is going on. 2NE1 was singing one of their new hit songs. I was dancing to 'I'm the Best' with Kwang Soo and Gary when my phone rang.

"I HAVE TO TAKE THIS, OKAY!" I shouted to Gary who gave me a thumbs up to show me that he understood. I went to a quieter area and answered the phone. "Yah, Song Joongki! Where are you! I thought you would've at least stopped by!"

"I told you that I wouldn't be able to make it! I went somewhere with my family, and I probably won't make it back after a long time." Joongki said, but there was something odd in his voice.

"Hey, is everything okay?" I asked. "You know you can tell me. I always help you with your problems."

"You can't help me with this one." Joongki said quietly.

"Why?" I smiled. "Is it girl trouble? If it is you don't have to be embarrassed. Come on, who's the lucky girl?"

"No, it's not that." I heard Joongki sniff on the other end. Is he crying?

"Yah.. What's wrong?" I asked suddenly worried. "Why aren't you telling me anything?"

"Ji Hyo, I'm really sorry. I know that you're never going to speak to me again after I tell you this..." Joongki said.

"Why?" I pressed on. "Joongki, tell me what's going on now."

"I'm not in Korea." He answered immediately.

What. "Well... Then where are you? China?" I asked.

"....America...." He answered quietly.

I stood there in silence and shock. No, it can't be true.

"Ji Hyo?" Joongki said after a few moments. "Ji Hyo I'm sorry. Please say something."

I wiped away my tears. "You're really gone?"

Joongki paused then said. "Yeah... I'm not coming back."

"Ever?"

"Never." Joongki answered. "I'm sorry."

"I-I have to go. Gary is calling me." I lied then hung up the phone entire he could say anything.

"JI HYO! YOU'RE MISSING BE PARTY!" Seung Ri danced into the room I was in then saw that I was upset. "What's wrong?"

"Joongki's gone." I answered.

Seung Ri's eyes widened. "He died!"

"No!" I said. "He moved to America."

"Hey it's okay." Seung Ri said and his eyes widened when a song came on. "Oh... This is our song!"

G-Dragon, DaeSung, T.O.P and Taeyang ran into the room.

"SEUNG RI! OUR SONG IS ON THE RADIO!" DaeSung shouted.

Seung Ri cheered. "OH MY GOD! DAEBAK! JI HYO, COME ON!"

I smiled a little and we all sang, "wow. Fantastic Baby."

Seung Ri took my hand and we both went into the party room together. Everyone cheered for BIGBANG when they walked in.

"Yah, Congrats." Woo Bin patted G-Dragons shoulder. "This song is awesome.

"Ji Hyo, this day is for happiness. Forget about Joongki for now, okay? Go and have some fun." Seung Ri said.

I smiled and nodded. "Okay."

I started to look around for Gary, but accidentally bumped into someone who was dancing.

"Ji Hyo." Jong Kook looked embarrassed.

I smiled. "Yah, you better stop purposely bumping j to me otherwise people are going to get the wrong idea."

"Really? You remember that?" Jong Kook chuckled. "Sorry about that by the way. I was really a jerk back then."

"Yeah... You were." I agreed.

"I'm going to continue dancing." Jong Kook said with a smile.

I Nodded. "Okay. Have fun... Muscle Man."

"Muscle Man??" Jong Kook laughed. "Where'd you get that from?"

"Is that really a question to ask?" I touched his muscles. "These obviously! They're as hard as a boulder!"

Jong Kook laughed. "You're really something else, Ace. I hope we can still be friends In the future. Would you want to? Be friends?"

I smile and nodded. "of course."

He nodded. "I'll see you around then."

"See you." I looked at him one last time before walking towards Gary.

-HaHa-
"Suzy, are you having fun?" I asked.

"Yes and no." She was glaring at somebody. "This song really describes my situation right now."

Lion Heart by SNSD was playing in the speakers. I followed her gaze and saw that she was looking at Kim Soo Hyun who was talking to Kim Woo Bin.

"How's your drama shooting going?" I asked trying to change the subject.

"Okay, besides the fact that Kim Soo Hyun's character is supposed to like me." She muttered.

"Yah, why don't you just forget about him!!?" I asked getting really annoyed. "There are other guys that would be interested in you..."

"I know, but..." Suzy sighed and suddenly stood up. "I'm going to go and talk to him."

No! If she talks to him now then I might never have another chance! "Wait!" I stood up as well.

Suzy turned around and looked at me. "What?"

"I have something that I've been meaning to tell you." I started. "I know you already said you never liked me, but..."

"HaHa.." Suzy said.

"No, listen. I like you." I admitted again. "I love you. And I just... Want to be with you."

Suzy looked speechless. We were both standing there in silence, looking at each other.

I broke the silence. "Will you be my girlfriend?"

"Really?" Suzy asked.

I nodded. "I want to be able to always be there for you.."

"HaHa, I don't know.."

"Do you still like him?" I asked.

Suzy sighed. "Yes.." She glanced at Soo Hyun. "You know, I don't think I'm ready for another relationship. I'm sorry. I'm going to go."

I watched as she walked out the door.

"HaHa." Ji Hyo walked toward me. "Are you okay?"

"No." I admitted.

She put her hand on my shoulder. "It's going to be okay."

"How do you know?" I asked her.

"I know." Ji Hyo assured.

I gave her a weak smile. "Hey, I'm really sorry for being so mean to you.."

"Is okay." Ji Hyo smiled. "We're friends now."

"Okay." I smiled. "Friend."

****
-Yoon Eun Hye-

I was sitting outside on the balcony. The party was still going on, but how come it still feels like I'm not wanted? Nobody's talking to me or acknowledging me. I sighed and I suddenly felt a raindrop. I looked up and saw that it started raining. Great.

"What are you doing out here?"

I turned around and saw Ji Hyo walking towards me. "Hi."

She smirks and stood beside me. We both looked at the view In front of us and sighed.

 "So much stuff has happened these past three years." Ji Hyo said quietly.

I nodded and looked at her. "Yeah... I'm sorry."

"For what?" Ji Hyo looked at me too.

 "You know why." I said. "I treated you really badly without even getting the chance to get to know you... so I'm apologizing."

"Everyone's saying sorry today." Ji Hyo smiled. "Okay. You're forgiven."

"Seriously? If I were you I would've never forgiven a person like me." I said in surprise. She really is something else.

"Everyone deserves a second chance." Ji Hyo told me.

"I thought I already got my second chance." I muttered.

 "Well, then everyone deserves a third chance." Ji Hyo smiled and so did I.

"Do you still like Jong Kook?" I suddenly asked.

 Ji Hyo stayed quiet for a moment then said. "No."

 "Really?"

 Ji Hyo nodded and looked at me. "Don't worry about it. I'm over him... and I'm sorry for getting in between you guys."

 "There was nothing going on between us at that time." I told her. "It's not your fault because I couldn't do anything about it at the time."

 "But... Jong Kook really likes you." Ji Hyo said. "Trust me. After everything you guys have been through... you two were meant for each other."

I smiled. "Same for you and Gary."

 "Thanks." Ji Hyo smiled. "Let's be friends in the future."

"Okay... Let's go inside now before it starts to pour." I suggested.

Ji Hyo laughed. "That sounds like a really good idea."

We both went inside and I saw Jong Kook standing on top of the stage. What is he doing?

When he saw me, he glanced at Kwang Soo who nodded.

 "This is a song I wrote..." Jong Kook announced while music started to play. "For a special someone. It's called One Man."

I glanced at Ji Hyo who smiled at me and went to go stand by Gary. I smiled when Jong Kook started to sing. He was looking at me while he sang so I knew that it was for me. I can't believe he actually wrote a song for me! How cute! I glanced at Ji Hyo who was also watching Jong Kook. Jong Kook slowly made his way towards me. Everyone was watching us, and I looked at Jong Kook confused. What is he doing? 

 The song slowly ended and I watched as Jong Kook bent down on one knee. I gasped when he pulled out a small box from his pocket.

 "Oppa..." I whispered.

Jong Kook smiled and opened the box to reveal a gold ring. "Yoon Eun Hye.. can I be your one man?"

 Oh my god.. Is he really asking me to marry him? Everyone else around us started chanting  'say yes'.

I looked at Jong Kook and smiled. "Of course!"

 Jong Kook smiled and put the gold ring on my finger. Everyone clapped and cheered. Jong Kook and I kissed and I didn't care if people were watching.

"I love you." Jong Kook smiled. "And I promise.. to always be there for you no matter what happens."

 Aish, why am I crying! I wiped away my tears, but more came. I laughed and hugged Jong Kook tightly. This was the best day of my life.
