The wedding dress

Perfect Stranger

"Who?" Jong Hyun was staring at Jun Seong. "Joo Woon? Kang Joo Woon?"

"One only brat. He contacted me in my email. He said he has a surprise."

"surprise? That brat after going MIA for years. He's back and just saying he has a surprise. He's probably getting married." Jong Hyun said.

"And get you to sing on his wedding." Jun Seong laughed.

"Nice try. When are we meeting him?"

"You're busy with your overseas tour. He said he will join the reunion in Busan.

"Joo Woon is still in Seoul though. I don't know where or what does he do." Jun Seong said.

"that brat. Get him  for a meet up. I can't wait for another month. I want to know what's with the signature."

"First love never dies." Jun Seong hummed to tease Jong Hyun. "I wonder what he looks like now? I wonder if she's still chubby. But she'll be cute."

I don't know but I feel like she's just around me."

"feel? What do you mean? Did you..."

Jong Hyun set Tan down and walked towards his work table. Both were hanging out at Jong Hyun's apartment. He laid the note and the sketch paper on the coffee table. He turned the magazine to the page where a dress was featured. "They're all the same. This," he pointed at the sketch pad. "May be that old but the signature and initials are the same. I don't think two people could use the same initial and signature."

Jun Seong picked the paper on the table. "Jong Hyun -ah.. this.."

"That note came with this," Jong Hyun pointed at the watch in the coffee table.

Jun Seong picked the watch. "This..." he inspected it. "Oh my goodness! Lee Jong Hyun. This..."

"It's  160,000 dollars. Jae Jin pointed that out. That's why I am assuming she knows me and is around me."

Jun Seong shook his head. "This is..... Okay, granting that she's your fan. This is still insane. What fan could buy this expensive gift... Wait... she's probably rich. But she went to our school."

"My head's starting to burst." Jong Hyun scratched his head.

"I'm going to find out.. This is exciting. I am excited to see what she looks like now." Jun Seong's phone rang. It's Joo Woon. "What's up?"

"So is the deal still up till now?" Joo Won asked laughing.

"What deal?" Jun Seong asked innocently.

"I am assuming you saw the dress design in the magazine.. if not I advised you to check the latest issue of Nylon."

"You... you knew about the dress?" Junn seong asked.
Without any warning Jong Hyun snatched the phone from Jun seong.  "Kang Joo woon! You better show up yourself," Jong Hyun shouted.

"Oh... Lee Jong Hyun?!!!" Joo Won was startled. "The black belt. How are you?"

"meet us up if you want to know." Jong Hyun sounds excited.

"I am... I have some exciting news to.."

"Cut it... so what is it?"

"Does Song Chae Won rings a bell?"

"Song Chae Won?" Jong Hyun tilted his head. He thought he heard that name somewhere. "No idea.. Who's she?"

"Put the speaker  on," Joo Woon instructed Jong hyun. "Jun Seong, are you listening? Okay, the girl we  tried to find back in middle school. The wedding dress."

"Wedding dress?" Jong Hyun interrupted him.

"Seriously Lee Jong Hyun?" Joo Woon was a bit  impatient. "The chubby girl. Your first love."

"Wait.. are.."                      

"Let me finish okay," Joo Woon said. "Your first love back in middle school. The chubby girl who drew the dresses you still kept. We all bet on something whoever will find the girl first will date her. Don 't exclude your self Jun Seong. We all knew you like her as well."

"And? That was long time ago." Jun Seong said.

"Well, I think I found her." Joo Woon bragged.

"You found her?" Jong Hyun and Jun Seong said at the same time.

"Kind of. I haven't met her yet. But my girlfriend said she's pretty. She met her yesterday. How about another bet?"

"And what would that be?" Jun Seong asked.

"Whoever finds her first gets something."

"Duh! You got the edge," Jun Seong reacted.

"hmmm.. just for fun," Joo Woon answered.

"Joo Woon-ah, this is important to me. I need to find her." Jong Hyun spoke up.

"Ohhhhh... lover boys said it's important. What do you say Jun Seong-ah," Joo Woon was teasing.

"Joo Woon-ah, give it up now okay. The lover boy need some closure. Even my self, I won't get into his way."

"Well, all I know is her name. Eun Seong  met her. She said she's not in the designer's field."

"Come on! I know you know more than that," Jong Hyun's was near to losing his patience.

"I'll see you soon." Joo Woon hang up before JongHyun could shout another word.

Jong Hyun handed the phone back to Jun Seong. "What do you think?"

"Anything on Song Chae Won?" Jun Seong answered him with a question.

"I don't know. The name sounds familiar though."

"Seeing that she gifted you an expensive watch. She knows you. She might knew you from middle school. She's a fan."

"What I'm trying to figure out here is what fan would spend thousands of dollars for a gift?" Jong Hyun hasn't  got over yet on how expensive the gift was.

"That's why we have to find out who she is and you have a start up. Song Chae Won."

"Fine. I'll dig out on that name." Jong Hyun stretched on the couch. "What?"

Jun Seong was silently staring at his phone. "Jong Hyun- ah.."

Jong Hyun jumped out of the couch and grabbed the phone from Jun Seong. "Oh my..God!" he exclaimed.

"So she knew you all along. It is possible she's the one who casted you in the drama." Jun Seong concluded.

"I thought her name was familiar... uh.. Lee Shin. Lee  Shin should know about...." he stopped and dialed Lee Shin's number. It went straight to the voice mail. "Shin-ah, please. please call me back when you get this." He left a message.

"And who's Lee Shin?" Jun Seong asked in curiosity,

"She co wrote the manga." Jong hyun answered.

"I mean who is she? Looks like you're close." Jeon Seong asked again.

"She did my album cover. She's an illustrator. If you saw Kim Hee Chul's book. She did that."

"Ohhh... You're album cover?! Wow! She's talented. That was fantastic. It's not a simple cover. It's  really a work of art."

Jong Hyun nodded.

"Okay, this Song Chae Won. When you were filming the drama, did you had the chance to meet her?"

Jong Hyun looked up at the ceiling. "She was introduced to me but uh.... if she was the girl she should have been excited. She was casual. Or maybe she's good at acting? But still..."

"We're going to find out.  Joo Won's right. She's pretty. No trace of her chubbiness." Jun Seong giggled.

"Oh she is. Let's see, uhm more of your type." Jong Hyun joked.

"My type huh.... Then may the best man win," Jun Seong sneered.

"She's more of your type. Seriously. Even though she's my first love....uhm.. you know, I like someone else."

"We'll see...No regrets...." Jun Seong still sneering.

"I'm telling you... After I finish my tour I am going to pursue this girl."

"And you haven't told me the name or showed me a photo of your girl. I'm wondering if she's real."

"She's real. It's just that it's kind of complicated for now," Jong Hyun answered.

"Whatever Lee Jong Hyun. Just don't blame me if your first love will fall for me,"

Jong hyun smiled at his bestfriend. It's true that he can't forget his first love. She still holds a special spot in his heart until Lee Shin appeared. He forgot about the first love. It never occurred that something related to her will pop out. He want to find her because of the watch.

Chapter 61: I hope there’s an epilogue to this beautiful story. That she will bring Jong Hyun to their baby’s resting place and tell him about the baby. And i wanted to see his reaction when he knows that that’s his baby and not GD as he assumed.
