Night came so fast... The boys are in their room so are the girls after a raucous evening, they retire themselves to a peaceful sleep... all except one. HyeMin... stared at the window... beyond the evening were the stars that glowed so promising.

                She went outside and feels the night breeze against her body. It felt cold.  Then she felt someone behind her...

                “Chunnie... that’s you?” HyeMin asked, still not looking backwards.

                “Neh...” ChunAe said.

                “You should be sleeping” HyeMin said and raised her head on the sky above her.

                “I can’t...” ChunAe said. “You know why that is”

                “YoungWoon...” HyeMin responsed. “Really, how long has it been? Why haven’t you still moved on?” ChunAe’s face was covered by solemn darkness.

                “How should I?” ChunAe said. “I wasn’t able to tell him... our relationship just kept on hanging” HyeMin couldn’t think of an answer. “HyeMin... you seem really happy together with Yesung, and for that, I envy you”

                “Happy?” HyeMin asked

                “Neh” ChunAe smiled at her friend, HyeMin just scoffed.

                “I’m trapped... my world is like a prison, I always comply with requirements needed of me. I really wish to see the day that I’ll be free from all of this” HyeMin said.

                “But in your world... Yesung is there” ChunAe said that made HyeMin looked at her.

                “He’s one of the reason of my prison... I am tied to him” HyeMin said.

                “But, you’re lucky to have a sincere person” ChunAe said. “A sincere person that could be loving you also” HyeMin paused at her statement.

                “How would I know that he loves me...” HyeMin said

                “I can see that, HyeMin” ChunAe said. “And I can see you’re returning his feelings... you love him... don’t you”

                “I don’t love him,” HyeMin said uncertainly.

                “Someday... you’ll be able to say that you love him proudly.” ChunAe said. “There will come a time when he’s no longer by your side and you will wait for him, willingly”

                “Wae...” HyeMin asked. “Are we going to get separated?”

                “No one knows...” ChunAe said. “I mean... he’s an idol... there will be a time that he’s busy enough to keep you two separated”

                “You know... Leeteuk-ssi told me the other wise, saying that I should take care of Yesung because he’ll be with me forever” HyeMin said.

                “Not that I’m contradicting... Love comes... love goes, love stays, love leaves...” ChunAe said “That’s all love does...”

                “What do you mean?” HyeMin asked.

                “You said it yourself... you don’t love him... love won’t stay unless if you tell him you love him” ChunAe said and began to retreat. “He loves you... that’s all I know”

                HyeMin took a deep breath and looked at the dark sky again. She smiled how mysterious ChunAe could be. HyeMin went back to her’s and Yesung’s room. Since they were married, they have the privilege to own one room for themselves. She looked inside and found Yesung sitting on the bed side, he looked up and showed his annoying half moon smile.

                “Will you stop using that smile?” HyeMin frowned.

                “It’s cute~~~” Yesung said. “You try it”

                “It’s cute if other people do it... but it’s not cute if you do it” HyeMin said. Yesung stared at her... he got so used having her presence.

                “Does that mean I’m not cute?” Yesung asked

                “Maybe... maybe not” HyeMin said, she looked at his pouting face and laughed. “You look like a pabo” She jabbed a forefinger on his forehead.

                “ChinJa?” Yesung asked. “You look like a duck”

                “Waeyo?” HyeMin asked. “YAH! I’m not a duck”

                “Don’t worry... ducks are cute” Yesung said. “Except you”

                “Hmph” hyeMin said and went to the bed. “I’m sleeping”

                “Arasso...” Yesung said.

                After quite some time... HyeMin found herself still awake. She couldn’t sleep... usually, she sleeps so easily whenever she would cuddle to Yesung, but since she was ‘mad’ at Yesung, she slept sideways. It didn’t help that Yesung was still awake.

                Yesung stirred, HyeMin acted as though she was sleeping. Yesung turned to her and looked at her... her eyes closed, probably sleeping? Yesung laid back and placed an arm around her. HyeMin twitched a smile, but she still pretends to sleep. Just then... Yesung starts to hum.

                HyeMin felt warm in her heart as he starts to sing his song.

Do you know? I bet you wouldn't even know in your dreams.

You don't even know the name of the person who's been near you

for so long.

Do you know? I bet you couldn't even guess. 

You don't know me, who can't sleep at night 

because my heart aches as I think of you. 

               HyeMin listened... his voice was really smooth and deep, he has this singing charm that has a forceful feel and yet it seemed so calming... HyeMin listened more...

You're like a distant star to me. 

I'm not brave enough, I can't approach you, I hesitate but… 

If you ever feel lonely, just turn around and look. 

If you're alone and sad right now, turn around and look.

Because there might be someone standing there who knows only you, 

and sees only you. 

               Yesung paused... should he continue on singing? The song really tells his 
heart out and yet he can’t express it. He looked sideways to HyeMin 
who was still on her place, not moving. Then he decided to sing a little more.

Do you know? Even at this moment, you still haven't realized it. 

You don't know the precious happiness 

you give me just by breathing. 

What if you're not alone because you're in love with someone else? 

I'm speechless with fear, I tried to hide it but… 

               HyeMin’s heart shook by the 2nd to the last sentence. 
She couldn’t help but a tear escaped her eye as she remembered the accident a year ago 
and everything she lost. MingWon... who just left her, who HyeMin sets free because 
she loved him more than anything.

If you're like me, don't hesitate. If you love me, tell me now. 

Our love's time is slipping away, like the times we spent hesitating, 

like the days we let slip by

               Yesung then again paused... he was wondering if he should continue more. 
Hoping that his voice and song will reach her dream...

Now I'll tell you about the longing I've been hiding, 

I'll confess to you the love I've not been able to express in words

I won't regret it, even if the answer that comes back is sad, 

because loving you is enough.

               Yesung’s voice quivered. He continued to sing in a slow manner
 as though he’s crying.

If you ever feel lonely, if you're alone and sad right now, turn around and look. 

There might be a speechless fool standing there, who sees only you

               Yesung stopped... his heart ached. And looked at HyeMin...
He never knew this day would come... to fall for her completely.

Because that fool is me.

AiMei: T-T this song was sung by Yesung and JangHyeJin "I AM BEHIND YOU", for those who're curious. I really liked the song that it hurt my heart. The song really suit the story so well.
