Thank you ^__^

YOONA
"Cheer for us okay?" Taeyeon asked me. I nod and smiled at her. We're currently at the backstage and it's their turn to perform for the Contest. Girl Groups were first, next are the Boy Groups, and a Collaboration. She then directly went to the other members and together they showed a 'Fighting!' pose then went up. Shouts were followed after. They are also popular in this Academy.
[A/N: Sorry to butt in but can you just imagine SNSD performing w/o Yoona? Man, it hurts but no choice. T_T]
I got a backstage pass with the help of Jessica and Tiffany (whom I got close with recently) that's why I could roam around and also visit EXO and Taehyung's group which is called Bangtan Boys. I like their group name by the way, its unique.
I directly went to where the audience is and watched them perform. Since I first heard their song used for the performance, I became a bit addicted to it. Sometimes, when I'm alone at home, I practiced their dance without them knowing. Uncle Sam would just be sitting at the sofa, watching me dance. He promised not to tell anyone anyway. He's the only person who knows that I can dance since I love it. I got no guts to show to everyone.
Probably someday in the future, I could perform like Taeyeon unnie and her group. Sigh.
They did their last pose, and everyone clapped, including I. That was awesome as always. After that, this group called Red Velvet went to stage after. I've heard of them sometimes since two of their members study at RWA. And they are cute.
"Why on SMTown you brought us here, Hyung?! You know I was still busy with my phone!" I heard muffling voices from behind but I just ignored it and continued watching the cute girls' performance. I admire them, though I love Girls Generation more.
"Can't you just cooperate Taehyung?! Just look at Jimin, he's calmer than you."
"Just because I'm calm doesn't mean I like what you're doing. So let's just make this thing quick. I want to rest later."
I know to myself that I'm a person who don't eavesdrop other people's conversation yet why I'm doing this to the people behind me? I turned my head to my right and I was a bit surprised to see Taehyung, Jimin, and J-Hope, arguing over something. And right behind my back?
"Oh boys, why the sudden argue?" The three of them look at me surprisingly when I said those words.
"Noona?!" They exclaimed. I then placed my finger on my lips, telling them to stop shouting since people kept glancing on our direction. Why do I keep on getting people's attention whenever I'm with these boys? Geez.
"Please stop muffling over there, a performance is going on." I told them and faced at the stage. They're dancing on their song's rap part. I don't know the title of this song but its addicting.
"Sorry about that noona but if you were just with us a while ago, you could've seen us being dragged by hyung here!!" Taehyung complained as he walked towards my side. Then they go argue so I go ignore them.
"Thank you for that wonderful performance girls! Let's give a hand one more time to Red Velvet!" The host of the contest said and as usual, everyone clapped. "Okay guys, its time for the boys to take on the spotlight!! Let's start with our ideal group, as what the ladies say it, EXO!!"
And there they are, running to the stage, smiles on their faces and directly move to their places. Call Me Baby started to play with Kai. I smiled as if I'm a proud mother while watching them perform. I clapped along with the audience too. Not until I felt his gaze towards me.
I gulped suddenly when I noticed it was Kai. He's still dancing professionally but no matter how much he moves, I know he's looking at me. I can feel it. I instantly stop clapping but of course, no one would notice.
" Eodun miro soge gathyeossdeon oh na
Geu eodum sogeseo
Nal kkaewojun ne moksori deullyeowa
Nal dasi taeeonage hae yeah"
This is the part where Kai was just kneeling down and Baekhyun's above him standing and by the time he kneeled, something appeared in front of me and dropped on my hands. I don't know why I suddenly look at Kai who's still looking at me but eventually had to look away from me since he's still performing.
Still with the noise around me, I unfolded the paper he just teleported to me and read it. Since I have keen eyes and with my light powers, I could read it properly though the surrounding is dim. My brows furrowed when I read it.
Let's meet. After our performance.
At RWA Garden.
I'll be expecting you, Yoona.
-Kai
As soon as I look up after reading the message, they already finished performing. They bowed and left towards the backstage. Still, I felt Kai's gaze towards me. He really is expecting me to be there. With no choice, I immediately told Taehyung a good luck on their performance and ran towards the exit.
~~~~~
From my distance, I could see Kai leaning near the gate. Looks like Uncle decided to stay inside the greenhouse for now since I could still see him from here too. I breathed in some air and released it, making myself ready. I started to walk towards him, trying not to make anything awkward.
"Kai." As I said his name, he looked up to meet me but instantly look away.
"Hey," he muttered. Okaaaaaay, this is awkward. I went to his side and leaned like him but still kept distance. His hands in his pockets while mine are folded behind me. I thought of things so we could start talking like:
'So, how were you when I'm not with you?' No, too sensitive.
'Why were you avoiding me all of a sudden?' A big no, he knows that you already know the reason, idiot. What is this, the clueless game?
'I loved your performance! It was incredible!' Stupid, he'll just think you're weird. With nothing to think of, I decided to just get straight to the point. I turned my head to face him and released the words.
"Kai."
"Yoona."
I was surprised to hear him say my name. For how many weeks had passed, he finally said it but I must not rejoice right now. You are having an awkward conversation with someone you're close to and now's the time to fix the problem between you. I was about to talk when he did it first. Man, doesn't he know I'm getting irritated by it?
"So it was you who burned that town years ago huh?" I just bowed down my head and didn't utter any words. He just crossed his arms and looked up to the starry sky. "So by all means, it was you who killed my sister while she's having her vacation from the palace." I gulped nervously and continued to look at my shoes. I didn't know he has a sister.
"I-I didn't kno–" I was cut off when he suddenly shouted at me.
"Didn't know?!?! Yoona, I was still 7 when you killed her!! Not just her, but the people living in that town!!!! I swore to myself on that same day, that if I ever get to know who burned that innocent town, I'd kill her with my bare hands!!!!" He angrily exclaimed while looking at me. Now, my hands were curled up right now and I'm afraid to look up to him, also I don't want him to see me tearing up. I'm used with people judging me but this is the first time that someone close to me is mad for what I've done.
No matter what, I deserve his hate cause, I'm a murderer in the first place.
"But why can't I?" I jerked my head up in surprise when he suddenly took hold of my shoulders. I then saw how his eyes sparkled as he tried not to cry but he just did. But why?
"H-Huh?" I managed to speak but I still am confused. What does he mean he can't? He then caressed my cheek softly which made me tensed. What on SMTown is he thinking now?
"Every time I look at you, the girl I once liked and now loved, the hate just goes away. Now that I knew that it was you who did that fire all along, I wished that I never have met you or even helped you when I saw you crying, the first time we met. I really want to hate you, be angry to you but why can't I do it? Why can't I be true to my words? If I was, you would be dead by now, but I don't want that to happen. That's why I avoided you, to test myself. I tried to at least become a bit angry but it just won't come out. I guess, its because I love you so damn much. Yoona," Still stunned by his words, he embraced me all of a sudden. He hugged me while my eyes were just wide, my mind's still processing his words.
He loves me?
"Yoona, I love you so much that I get irritated whenever Luhan hyung is always around you." Now, I'm speechless. He slowly releases the hug but his arms are still around me, so he just faced me. And it pains me that what he feels about me right now, I don't think he deserves it. I'm not even hugging him back.
"K-Kai, you can't be s-sure that y-you're really–" He placed his finger on my lips, which stops me from talking and makes me look at him in the eye. He then just smiled. Kai, why me?
"It's fine Yoona. Its fine if you don't feel the same why as I do. But that doesn't make me stop hoping you'd end up with me. Come!" I was then surprised that he suddenly pulled me in to the garden, going inside the greenhouse. I immediately spotted Uncle Sam sitting down, drinking some water.
"Sire, good evening." Kai said and bowed down, still holding my hand. I don't know why but I feel so awkward. Uncle Sam then saw us and stood up, putting the water bottle on the table beside him. He crossed his arms, eyeing us, especially on our hands. This is why I hate people touching my hand. People assume.
"A good evening it is, eh? How was your talk? Did it end well?" He asked, his voice filled with authority, or is it just me imagining?
"Well, it did and I was able to speak to her from weeks of avoiding her so like what I asked you earlier, thank you for staying." I look at the two of them confusingly. He's thanking him cause he stayed? And why would he stay?
"No problem, child. So, what's the question you wanted to ask me?" I heard Uncle say to Kai but somehow, I couldn't process everything until he said a sentence which made me react so much.
"Can I court your niece?"
