Continuation...

So throughout the long travel to the point of destination, everything goes well with the two not-so-unsuspecting partners. Finally reaching the place of the event; Leeteuk looks for a place to park his car over.  When he finds a spot – pulls over his car and both of them readying to go out of the car to head for the social gathering. However, while doing so; Leeteuk and Sooyoung wonder when they see that the pool of cars lining up is somewhat different from the normal crowd of cars. The cars are quite different – sort of an “exquisitely luxurious cars”.

Both of them make a full stop to witness what is going on – then suddenly; when all the cars are properly lined up, someone strikingly breathtaking comes out before their eyes. They stand still as statues following the heavenly living thing passing by and coming – both of them say in their mind; WHHAAT!! – Their way, saying

“Oh, I deeply apologize for the chaos we have created – where you able to park your car properly? I believe you are coming to this party – I will see both of you then!”

They, along with the aghast expression; same time saying - “Did you see that?!”…

Leeteuk:          Sooyoung, Sooyoung, hey Sooyoung! (calling her name incessantly)

Sooyoung:       (In deep hypnotic state says) That person is purely and dazzlingly wonderful – so beautiful, oh my gosh!!!
                         Who could that be?

Leeteuk:          (laughing at Sooyoung’s expression) Fan-girling?

Sooyoung:       Shut Up! But, hey wait a minute!

Leeteuk:          yeah, what is it?

Sooyoung:       I think we parked on a different area – the crowd of the parked cars is way over there?

Leeteuk:          It does not matter, I guess

Sooyoung:       Well, I think we should start walking then – the entrance of this hotel is over there

Leeteuk:          Oh, so we parked at the backside of the hotel?

Sooyoung:       Indeed as a matter of fact.

As they enter the lobby of the hotel; they were mesmerized by the people who are coming in – both having no clues as regards the each and everyone’s status – simply watch and follow the crowd.

Sooyoung:       what is this, a parade of stars?! These people look so expensively outrageous!

Leeteuk:          Yeah, I can see that – I am just letting things sink it in and act normal.

Sooyoung:       whoa!! Look (hands finding its way to link with Leeteuk) why is the Prime Minister here and notable
                        dignitaries as well as – and a lot of wealthy business people from around the globe.

Leeteuk:          (wondering) yeah, I know some of them but you as well? How do you know these people?

Sooyoung:       Oh, one of the things I do, in the process happening to know some of them along the way. If this is how it
                         is – I can see clearly; this is a swell-of-an-out-of-this-world occasion.

Leeteuk:          I guess so.

 Suddenly, both of them startled when a certain person calls Leeteuk’s name.

Guest #1:        Leeteuk! Leeteuk!

Leeteuk:          (head moving left to right and turns around to search for the voice) Oh! (in his surprise state) Mr. Soo
                        Man, how are you?

Soo Man:        I am fine! Good to see you again! Do you know what is going on?

Leeteuk:          I believe we are In that same state of wonder!

Soo Man:        Really? I heard it is an announcement – but I really do not know what it is. Anyway, thank you for the
                       exclusive design of my watch – see, am wearing it!

Leeteuk:          Oh! (blissfully feeling proud of the what he created) Looks great on you! Oh, by the way, let me introduce
                        you my companion. Sooyoung this is Mr. Soo Man, a friend and a client at the same time.

Sooyoung:       (in a shock state gestures giving her had for a shake) Nice to meet you Mr. Soo Man.

Soo Man:        Oh, Leeteuk – she is a beauty. I am pleased to meet you too. Are you two together?

Leeteuk:          Yes, we are (turning his face to the now even more shock Sooyoung)

Soo Man:        OH – ok, I guess I should be heading now. Nice to meet you again, Ms. Sooyoung.

Sooyoung:       (just nodded coz no word can afford to get out from . Gasping she says) Leeteuk, you creep!!

Leeteuk:          Hey, we are in a party – behave!!

Sooyoung:       Yah, behave my beehive!! Damn you!

Leeteuk:          (intertwining his fingers with Sooyoung, grins) Come let’s enjoy!

Later in a while, everything goes to a full stop when, the host of the party is now being introduced.

Sooyoung:       Oh dear – he is so super gorgeous!

Leeteuk:          (felt a pang of jealousy but composes) Who is he?

Sooyoung:       A very rich young entrepreneur named Heechul – he is pretty known worldwide as one of those
                        successful brilliant young business minds.

Leeteuk:          Oh, pretty cool.

Sooyoung:       Yes!! Hey look! He is coming this way.

Leeteuk:          (Surprised as to what Sooyoung is saying – turns his direction to what she is deriving at – and admitting
                        he mutters) Man, this guy is really good looking.

Sooyoung:       I told you so. Now, compose yourself!

As Heechul comes their way to meet them – as it is social custom to greet each of your guests one by one – stops at Leeteuk and Sooyoungs’ area who are currently amazed by Hechul’s amazing inherent regality

Heechul:          Oh, nice of you to come, Mr. Leeteuk – I have seen you one time and you are very good and same with
                        you Ms. Sooyoung – I read your column every now and then. Am happy that both of you could come.

 Leeteuk and Sooyoung upon hearing this could not believe what Heechul has just said; just simply nod at Heechul’s remarks – when the latter left to greet other guests. They both look at each other in wide shock and gazing at Heechul’s direction.

Sooyoung:       (overwhelmed by the situation) Leeteuk, my knees…

Leeteuk:          eerrr…yeah hold unto me… did he just say that?

Sooyoung:       Loud and Clear…

Leeteuk:          He is nice!

Sooyoung:       Now, look who’s talking! Can you hear the ladies comments?

Leeteuk:          Who would be? I understand it now – you as well!

Sooyoung:       It can’t be helped – that guy is simply a wonder! Wait Hold on – I think there is another introduction – the
                        music stopped.

Leeteuk:          yeah…

The both of them look where the spot is leading on – turn white as snow upon seeing the person who the speaker is referring to – a beautiful lady; with hair golden silky beamed by the spotlight, face almost strikingly sinful to watch, and dressed in a beautiful princess-like gown. All of the guests including Heechul catch their breath in full wonder to the beauty that is confronting them. As she starts to descend to meet their guests - comments from guests has become audible.

“Oh my goodness, is she a goddess?”

“She is so beautiful”

“Where did she come from, is there a human possibly looking perfectly stunning like that?

“Who is she?”

“Jessica Pierre – yes, we know her – unreachable and indescribable persona”

Sooyoung:       (without leaving her sight to the person she’s watching) Leeteuk, my god, she is so very beautiful.

Leeteuk:          Yes, I can hear that including you and these guests very well. I must admit – yes, she is really some kind
                       of wonderful to watch.

Sooyoung:       (puckering her lips to point at Heechul) Hey, look at the dumb stricken Heechul – the sight that caught fire
                        all over his body – look!.

Leeteuk:          (upon seeing Sooyoung lip-puckered pointing – chuckles for his own amusement – and finding the scene
                        cute) yeah – I see that but you are beautiful as well – you should know that.

Sooyoung:       (blushes) hush…shut up…

Leeteuk:          yeah…yeah…

 Guests including Leeteuk and Sooyoung watch Heechul’s eyes fully focusing at Jessica – in a daydream state slowly forwarding towards her place – could not help but smile at his actions.

Sooyoung:       (fidgeting and pinching Leeteuk on the side) Oh, Leeteuk here they come! Am nervous!

Leeteuk:          (amused by her reaction) are you fangirling a girl?

Sooyoung:       (caught in surprise defends) Oh, why that is normal? It is not a sin – get over it! (gasps) oh, here they are!
                        Shhh..quiet..

Jessica:           Oh, hi – here are the both of you – am glad to see both of you again!

Sooyoung:       See us again?

Jessica:           Oh, sorry at the back entrance… don’t you remember me?

Sooyoung and Leeteuk are amazed by her down to earth gestures could not – especially Leeteuk; admitting defeat – restrain their surprise over what they have just heard and just manage to smile.

Sooyoung:       Oh (she said to herself – was that she – beautiful as it was back there and more beautiful now totally in a
                        different view) Yes! Pardon my stupidity.

Jessica:           Oh, don’t worry about it. By the way, my name is Jessica Pierre and I guess I presume you know my
                        companion’s name.

Leeteuk:          (looking at Sooyoung in a silly condition – covers for her) Nice to meet you Ms. Pierre. This is Hae 
                        Sooyoung and I am Choi Leeteuk.

Jessica:           Nice to meet you both. Have a nice time – I wish I could talk to both of you more but I need to greet
                        others as well. Thanks again Ms. Sooyoung and Mr. Leeteuk. Ms. Sooyoung, I will talk to you soon about
                        something.

Sooyoung:       …..uuhh y-yes.. (as soon as the couple leaves – she loudly exhales a deep long breath)

Leeteuk:          Now you are acting weird…

Sooyoung:       Something….??? Did you hear that – her talk to me (bewildered by the moment and turns to face
                         Leeteuk with a plastered unexplainable wide grin on her face?)

Leeteuk:          you are really weird…

Sooyoung:       ggesswshhh… shut up…am excited – I wonder what she wants to talk about. Anyway…let’s have fun…
                         ok? (Unknowingly intertwines her fingers with Leeteuk)…
