“How was it?” I looked at Jungwon who’s holding a bottle of water and he sits beside me.

“Huh?” I spaced out, “Well, he agreed with it,” I replied.

I saw him nods, “Good to hear. But why are you looking so blue?” he asks me.

“Jungwon, how does it feel helping someone?” I asked him out of nowhere.

“Why so sudden?” then he chuckles. “Well, of course helping other people is the best feeling. It’s really heartwarming and touching. Why?” he replied.

I shook my head, “Nothing. We’re going to take Ni-ki back to Japan and we will find his mother,” I stated.

“Of course! Hahahaha!” he laughs, “Don’t worry about those things, Sunoo. Always keep in your mind that you’re not the only one who wants to help Ni-ki. Don’t weigh all the responsibilities, okay?” he reminds me and clung his arm on my shoulders.

“Expected from our Yang Leader!” I exclaimed and we both laugh.

“You really need me in your life, you know that?” he teased me.

“Of course! I will always need you in my side, Jungwon,” I agreed and smiled.

He nods in proud and then speaks, “So, what about you and Sunghoon? What will happen next?” he asks.

“He messaged me again earlier and we will meet up the next day after tomorrow,” I replied so bluntly.

He removes his arm from me and looked at me, “Wait a damn minute, why does your tone goes like that? I thought we’re excited about this?” he observed.

I scratch my head, “Well…” I paused and look at him, “I’ll be honest with you. I’m worrying about something,” I said.

“Oh, what is it?” he asked in concern.

Before I could speak, Ni-ki arrived. “HYUNG!” he called us and he raises a plastic. “Chicken!” he announced that made Jungwon jumped in him.

That made me stops on talking to Jungwon what I’m worrying about. Maybe, I’ll just tell him some other time.

The day Sunghoon and I are going to go out came. I wore a simple denim jacket with black shirt inside, black skinny pants and shoes.

“Jungwon, Ni-ki, I’ll see you later!” I shouted before leaving our apartment and wear my masks.

While waiting for a taxi my phone vibrated and it was Sunghoon who messaged me. He said he’ll be a bit late and I just replied that it’s okay.

Taxi stops in front of me so I open its door and the driver started that engine. I checked my face in my phone screen when the driver spoke.

“Are you going in a date sir?” he asked that made my eyes widen.

“W-what?” I stuttered. “What do you mean?” I asked.

“Ahh hahahaha! I’m sorry, it’s just that you really look good sir,” he complimented me that made me feel shy and confident at the same time.

I giggled, “Thank you hahaha but I’m not going to a date. I’m just going to meet a friend,” I clarified.

“Ahh,” he nods. “I’m sorry hahaha! Your friend is really lucky having a handsome guy like you,” he added that almost made my eyes roll.

“Stop it now, Mr. hahahahaha!” I laughed.

He stopped teasing me and I finally arrived to the place where we’re going to meet. This is a simple café that and only few people knew.

When I entered the café, there isn’t any customer inside. The waitress greeted me and I bowed at her also.

I find a seat and wait for Sunghoon in there. The only waitress come to me with her menu, “Are you Sunsun?” she asked that made me shock.

“Ahh… yeah. Hello,” I greeted her.

“Hoonie told me you’re going to come here first so, what do you want to order?” she asks so sweet.

“Ahh,” I nodded. “Then just iced Americano, please,” I replied.

“Okay!” she exclaimed and then turns her back with a smile.

What’s with hoonie?

I removed my masks and brows on my feed. Then I heard her speaks, “You’re his sasaeng,right?”

It made me throw my gaze at her and I saw her walking towards the door and put a ‘closed’ sign.

“How did you know that?” I asked her curiously.

“Well, I just know hahaha,” she answered me and I don’t think she’s serious either. “Just kidding! I know every sasaeng of Sunghoon,” she added.

I remained silent and I’m just looking at her while she’s doing my drink.

“I know you’re a master sasaeng but I didn’t know that you’re going to be Sunghoon’s sasaeng. What made you do that? Oh! Let me guess,” she pauses and acts like she’s thinking. “Because Hoonie is famous HAHAH! Basic!”

She’s crazy.

“But what I’m curious to know is why did Sunghoon let you to enter his private life?” she asked me looking directly in my eyes.

“Who are you?” I asked her with the same gaze her throwing at me.

“I’m Park Sunghoon’s number one fan,” she answered me then smiles.

She really is crazy.

Then we both looked at the door when the bell chimes. Sunghoon is here.

“Oppa!” that woman called her.

“Oh hello Lia!” Sunghoon greeted her cheerfully. Then he noticed me and he removed his mask. “Sunsun hello!” he greeted me and I just smile to him uninterestedly.

They both walk towards my direction and that Lia put my drink on the table as well as another drink, I guess it’s for Sunghoon.

“Thank you Lia,” Sunghoon said and Lia smiled at him.

“Thank you,” I also thanked her.

“Okie dokie! I’m gonna leave you two here. I’m just at the back,” she said before leaving.

“Who is she?” I asked Sunghoon.

“Seong Lia, she’s a fan and a friend. She runs this café,” Sunghoon answered me.

I nodded, “Ahh… She’s crazy,” I commented.

I suddenly heard her laughing, “She is hahahah!” he agreed that made my brow rise.

“Good thing you knew,” I stated.

“HAHAHA! Hey! Stop making me laugh, this is just the first day we meet formally,” he stated that made look at him in almost in disgust.

“Huh?”

“HAHAH! Nothing,” he then cleared his throat. “Hi, I’m Park Sung Hoon,” he introduces himself and lends his hand.

“Hello, I’m Kim Sunoo,” I introduce myself to and gladly received his hands.

His hand is soft. His fingers are slender.

Before I could compliment it even more I decided to grab my hands already. “First, I really want to say sorry to you, Sunoo,” he said in a sincere face.

“No, I’m also sorry too,” I apologized.

“Because of me, you hurt yourself. I’m really sorry and thank you for protecting me that day,” he added with a smile.

Stop smiling.

“It’s fine. I being your sasaeng isn’t forgivable also but I’m not really sorry about it,” I stated that made him chuckle.

His eyelids almost made him close his eyes in smiling. His dimple is also showing and his perfect teeth and fangs are also smiling.

“I know hahaha,” he commented. “That’s your job, I can’t do anything about it,” he added.

“But I still want to be your friend tho,” I directly replied.

He looked at me and he’s about to suck me in with his eyes. “Why?” he asked.

“Why not?” I asked him back. “Let’s be friend. I can make you happy,” I insisted. He looked away while laughing, “See. You’re always laughing and smiling as soon as I talk.”

“Hahaha! I don’t even know why but your confidence and the personality you’re showing right now is making me happy,” he commented.

It made me shut my mouth. He’s easier than I thought.

I read an article that Park Sunghoon isn’t sociable. He prefers to be alone. He’s introvert. And introvert people like him only picks who they want to be friend and to be with.

I didn’t expect him to accept my friendship offering this fast.

“Right! You know they used to call me Sunshine? Because I make people’s day bright! So, let’s be friend already or you’ll regret it,” I convinced him and sips my drink.

He chuckles again, “Okay, we’re friends now but,” he paused and I was shock when he grab my phone that is on the table, “Privately. We are friends as Sunghoon and Sunoo not the artist Sunghoon and his sasaeng Ddeonu,” he stated.

“Okay deal. I want it too, your fans might burn me to death if they found out we’re friends,” I agreed and stood up to grab my phone back.

But he pulled it away made me almost fall on him. His face is just inches away from me and I stopped breathing.

“And while we’re together no pictures allowed,” he added while looking at me.

Can’t he read the atmosphere here!?

I immediately grab my phone from him and comeback to my senses. I sit down and still trying to calm myself.

“We’re together…” I repeat in whisper, “So we’re going to meet again?” I asked him meaningfully.

He lean closer and put his crossed arms in the table, “We’re friends tho,” he answered then smiles.

What’s with him!?

“Tss! Okay then,” I replied that made him chuckle. “But I still need to do my job, Park Sunghoon,” I stated.

He rested his chin in his palm and thinks, “Then I’m going to tell you when are you allowed to take pictures,” he answered me.

“Like now?”

“Huh?”

I pressed the shutter button of my phone and then laughs. “Hey! Delete it!” he shouted at me and tries to grab my phone but I immediately raised my hand.

“Bleeh!” I stick my tongue at him to tease him.

“Hey Kim Sunoo!” he yelled my name.

“No way!” I teased him more.

As soon as he attempts to grab again my phone I stood up and run away from him. He followed me and we’re both running around the empty café while laughing.

“Stop running!” he yelled.

“Noooo!” I answered while laughing.

“Sunoo!” he called my name.

As I look back he’s already behind me and cornered me that made me lean at the table. We’re both panting but we don’t care also.

I’m in between his arms while my hip is leaning on the table. My first move should be pushing him since he’s really close but I just smiled at him and lend my phone.

I don’t have the energy anymore.

He stood up straight and I thought he’s going to take my phone from me but he held it together with my hands that made my heart beats so fast.

“Keep it but don’t post it,” he stated while smiling.

When was the last time I felt this? When was the last time I felt this bliss? I don’t remember anymore. It seems like I haven’t even felt this before.

Everything is new and good.

I looked at our hands then on him and he’s smiling at me. What I’m worrying about is I might really like his company and will eventually fall into something even dangerous.

“Park Sunghoon, you’re confusing me.”
