"Do you need anything else?" Asked the employee.

Jiwon didn't know what to do. He had made the employee put several items on the counter, in hopes that he could finally choose a little gift. But now, looking at all the things on the counter, he wasn’t sure. Nothing there matched the feelings he wanted to transmit with the gift. But he had been there for about twenty minutes and now the employee was waiting for his decision…

"Oh…I'm sorry" He said finally, feeling a bit ashamed. "They're all good, but I'm not sure"

The employee smiled knowingly and then asks "Maybe you want to choose a gift from the heart?"

Jiwon looked at her in surprise. That was exactly what he wanted to give his lover. "Yeah, that’s it…something from my heart"

"I'm afraid you won’t find it here. If your gift is in your heart, then words would be the best gift" She stated simply.

Shaking his head, Jiwon gave the employee a frustrated, but appreciative glance "I know what's in my heart, but I don't know to express it. I can't express the love I feel with words, with a gift…I don't know what to do". Jiwon blamed on his public image right now. He had learned to hide his feelings so well that now that he wanted to express them, he didn't know how to do it.

The employee smiled supportively. "Well, I suggest you invite her to dinner, the candle light and soft music can help make the feelings flow out"

That was so cliché. It should be good, but it was what every lover expected and…no, his lover was too special. Jiwon sighed, still frustrated.

"Well maybe, I don't know. I apologize for…this" He said, pointing to all the things on the counter.

Not knowing what else to say, he left the shop. Once he was outside, Jiwon thought about the words of the employee…‘a gift from the heart’. He didn't think he could ever find a gift so precious.

Glancing at his watch, he came back to the studio. Tomorrow was the day, and he still didn't have any ideas about a gift. What could he do? Didn't he know his lover well enough to know what he would like? He spent the rest of the day observing him, wondering what he would like. Jiwon knew, of course, how different he was while working. He was just another person there, just little piece of his truly personality but nothing else. He was very focused on his work and his private life was completely separate from his work. As Jiwon continued to watch him, he sadly realized that he had no idea how to tell his lover how much he loved him and how much he needed him.

The sound of the alarm clock woke him up abruptly. It was dark but already 6 in the morning and they had to leave soon. Still sleepy, Hanbin stretched his arm to the place where his lover was but found…nothing. He panicked for a second. It wasn’t possible. Looking around, he strained to hear or see something, but…there was nothing. Getting up sl
