The guests started to leave as the time is getting late. The cleaners Jaesuk hired began their job to clean everything after the party. Jiyong went out the house to have a sip of cigarette. He saw a man is standing there, when he got closer, he realised it was Young Bae. He wonders why hadn't he left yet.

"Young Bae? You're not leaving yet?" Jiyong asked his bestfriend, as his manager mostly wouldn't let him wandering outside for too late. Young Bae turned around and look at him, smiling sheepishly making Jiyong wonders what's filling up his mind. He took his step near to Young Bae, then lighten his cigar.

He looked up to the sky, the stars somehow seems to shine brighter than he ever imagined. It was clear and there's no clouds, absolutely free from the light pollution. "I thought you quitted smoking Jiyong." Jiyong frowned at Young Bae's question,then blew the smoke into the air. "It's just recent, I didn't smoke much anyway." He shrugged. Young Bae know what's up, seeing his friend acting like this.

Back then,Jiyong stopped smoking, it's because of her, he once mentioned to Young Bae about she doesn't like him to smoke. So, his friend just does whatever she asks.

"Hyorin just came by, she told me about Kiko." Jiyong sighed and massaged his forehead with his finger.Young Bae alerted with that name spoken by Jiyong, he thought he never wanted to mention Kiko again. Whenever Jiyong is frustrated, he would swing his neck and look above, he's doing it now and Young Bae is clearly worried about his friend. He patted at Jiyong's shoulder and gave him a warm glance. Jiyong smiled sadly at him, then flicked the ashes into the ashtray. 

Kiko is a famous Japanese model that everyone knows. She is well known of her beautiful features and perfectly slim body that every woman admired. Her bright and cheerful personality charms everyone around her inculding Jiyong. Jiyong thought he was the one understands her most, or she was the women whom loved him as much as he loved her. But somehow, it wasn't anything he expected.

During debut days, Jiyong launched his first album in Japan , and that's how he met Kiko.

Jiyong sat on the couch nearby the reception counter while waiting for his manager to finish the formalities of his stay in this hotel. Tokyo Imperial Hotel, it was well known for it's privacy coverage and listed as the first choice for the celebrities to stay.

Since this hotel provides excellent service through the reviews, his manager chooses this as the place for Jiyong to stay during his promote in Japan. Jiyong looked around and found out there's a couple of celebrities stayed here too. The curious boy looked around and observed again, the interior architecture of the building was luxurious and the matching of classic themed furniture marveled Jiyong for some reason.

He felt tap on his shoulder, he turned around and saw a beautiful lady in front of him. She has a black short hair, big round eyes and a bright smile plastered on her face. Her figure was considered slim though. Jiyong was a bit stuttered when he heard Japanese language flowing out of . "Um, pardon?I'm korean, what can I help you with?" He explained in english

"Oh! Im really sorry!" She apologised with english, and continued "Could You help me to take a picture?" She handed her camera to Jiyong, and posed next to a weird shaped vase. Jiyong snapped the picture and it turned out better than he expected. He gave the camera to her, she was delighted at the moment she looked at her photo. "You're really good at taking photos! You must be a professional at this!" The girl complimented him, making him chuckled at that statement. "Hm?" She noticed his reaction, and somehow curioused about it. "I'm not a photographer, but that vase is unique though." He changed the subject, staring at the vase he took picture of earlier . The texture on it was smooth, but somehow the pattern on it made a delusion that it feels not. "Yeah, I know right? Hey, I know there's a place that has collection of these, wanna catch up later?" Jiyong was surprised at this girl's easy-going-attitude, yet amused by it. From that day onwards, he will re
