Chapter 19: A New Job & A Bear
YOONA
"Uncle, do you accept this kind of offer? Cause it just seem so suspicious." I asked him right after I told him the details about this Music Department Mark told me about it. Yeah I know how to play guitar but only Uncle and Kyungsoo knows about it.
Facepalm, Luhan saw me playing it too.
"Well, it may be suspicious but why not take this opportunity? At least people won't judge you by this again." He said. I just buried my face at the pillow I'm holding. By the way, we're back home now and we're talking in my bedroom.
Its been years since I've played in front of a crowd. The last time was when my mother was here, and I was just a child back then. I still do play guitar and a bit of piano and violin but only Uncle see me playing them. Now, they're just hidden in a case I hid at the back of my closet.
"Really uncle? Its karaoke! I'll be playing it probably at night! Who'll do night gardening?"
"Its not every night you need to clean the garden."
"But-"
"You don't need to force yourself on this one, Yoona. You can just decline the offer, as simple as that." Then he left after he told me he'll prepare dinner. I lay myself on my bed, reminiscing times. I rarely done this on a bed.
I was probably 7 when I had to leave Moon Kingdom. Now that I'm 17, 10 years have passed. Woah, that was fast.
I still remember that one time when mother was still here, me and Shawn were playing at the front yard when she called me to be inside. The time we got in, she hugged me so tight I couldn't breathe. Little did I know that the next day she'll be confined in the hospital. I just sighed at that thought.
I decided to take a nap when my phone suddenly rang. Dang it, disturbers. I thought. I picked it up and was surprised to hear a squeal.
"OH MY GOOOOOOSSSSSHHHHHH!!!!!! YOONA YOU HAVE TO GET DOWN RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!" Jessica squealed I had to let my phone be far from my ear.
"What is it now? I'm trying to sleep Sica." I told her with a sleepy voice. But still, she couldn't stop squealing. No choice, I put on my slippers and went down. I saw the door open so I went out, just to see Jessica with a phone on her right hand......
And a big violet teddy bear on her left. Uncle Sam looks at me with furrowed eyebrows while I just crossed my arms.
"What now?"
"Some random student gave this to me and told me to give it to the lady gardener and because you're the lady gardener, I'll be giving this to you!" And she handed me the bear right after, making me stumble a bit because of her force. I just look at her in the eye.
"Same guy?" She shrugged her shoulders at me. I brought the bear inside and sat on the sofa, examining it. Uncle and Jessica got in afterwards. Uncle went back to the kitchen while Jessica sat beside me. I then noticed a note by its neck. I took it and we read it together.
For you, my future ;-)
So I can hug you every night when you're afraid of the dark.
-Your Prince
"YOU ONE LUCKY GAAAAAAAALLLLLL!!!!!" Jessica exclaimed as she kept on slapping my arm. Man, I know she is being hyperventilating but please not me. Its creepy actually.
"Jessica! That hurts! Stop it!" I told her and was about to stop her when the door suddenly opened, revealing Shawn with paper bags.
"Good you're here Shawn! Just place them on top of the table and hang out with the ladies for now." Uncle Sam exclaimed from the kitchen and Shawn followed him, his eyes on the teddy bear. As soon as he got back, he sat on one of the cushions at the side.
"Who gave that?" He asked. I shrugged at him while Jessica answered.
"Probably the same guy since he has the same penmanship from the note on the flowers yesterday." Then she showed the two notes already on her hands. A shiver suddenly went down on my spine as I gulp. Really, all these sweetness are so creepy.
"You still have that? I thought I threw it." I told her.
"I picked it up. Sorry." I just sighed and leaned my back. After I received the flowers from yesterday, I placed some on pots at the garden and brought some back home to be placed in our vases. At least they're useful.
But this bear? What will I do with it?
"Put that somewhere hidden." I glanced at Shawn, surprised that he suddenly spoke. Can he read minds?
"And where would that be?" I asked him while raising a brow. He then looked at me intently.
"In your attic stupid." He answered.
"NO!!! IN THE NAME OF THIS LOVER I SAY ON YOUR BED!!!" We look at Jessica who suddenly stood up. Wow, she's on the side of this secret admirer?
"I'll just put it on the bed or closet in my room, Shawn. At least I won't feel alone." I just answered Shawn, trying to ignore the speech Jessica started. He just nod his head at me then looked down. He looks frustrated though.
"Dinner's ready, guys!" Uncle Sam said. We stood up and walked towards the dining area. Uncle Sam prepared a lot, probably because he already knew that Shawn's eating here. We sat down then ate whatever is on the table.
"Uncle, I think I'll accept the offer." I told him while eating. Uncle looked at me in delight while the two stared at me. Uncle clasped his hands and smiled.
"Great! I'll bring you there by tomorrow then. I have to clean your guitar and fix some strings." He said as he took a bite of his meal. Jessica asked me.
"Sure about your decision Yoona? Cause if you are, me and Taeyeon will be the first guests!" I just smiled at her and nodded.
Well, at least I could get back on playing. Been a long time and I guess its time for it.

JESSICA
"Goodbye Yoona, Goodbye Sir!" I said as I close their door and went out with Shawn on my side. I grinned.
"Jealous?" Shawn suddenly look at me with a surprised expression on his face. I just placed my hands at the back of my head. "Don't worry, you can still get her attention someday."
"Who told you about my feelings for her? Was I that obvious?" I just rolled my eyes when he asked the question.
"Probably because you kept staring at her while she's doing garden work and whenever she will give a small smile, you suddenly become hyper. Don't forget your constant argues with Kai whenever she asks for something." I answered him while he duck his head low towards the ground.
"Do I even have a chance on her?" He stopped his tracks when asked that. I just placed my hand on his shoulder and patted him.
"If you'll exert effort, like this mystery man." I reassured him. He looks at me with a smile. I just smiled back and decided to walk first when I saw something walking from afar. I suddenly tugged Shawn who was about to turn right.
"What is it noona?"
"Do you see that man over there?" Then I pointed the man who gave a glance at us then started to run. We became alert then started to run after him.
"Wait! Stop! We aren't gonna hurt you!" I shouted at him. I'm just curious since he looks like someone I know. We just stopped when we found a dead end. We looked around, confused.
"I was so sure he turned left here. But its a dead end." Shawn exclaimed. I stayed quiet while I was roaming around, trying to at least see some left-behind tracks but nothing. As if he just vanished into thin air. I then remembered something.
"Was it just me or was he really holding some notes on his hand?" I asked, that made Shawn glance at me. A sudden click went on our minds when we realized that the person we chased earlier ,
Could be the secret admirer of Yoona!! I missed it, big time!!

YOONA
"Hello Ma'am. Can we ask if you know Mark Tuan?" Uncle Sam asked the lady in the counter. We just arrived at the Music Department and not that much people are in here yet. I'm currently sitting in one of those chairs for waiting. Uncle Sam came back with a smile plastered on his face.
"So?" I asked him as I stood up.
"Yes, they say he's one of their artists here. They're calling for them now so let's just wait here."
"Wait, them?"
"Yes, them. Since you'll also be meeting his groupmates too, and their manager." I sat down and leaned on my back. Gosh, I just hope they're nice. We waited for another 5 minutes when the elevator clicked then came out 8 guys, all wearing black polos and a lady. My eyes widen in shock as soon as I realized who the lady was.
"Miss Margaret? You're a manager here?"
