Natasha's POV

3 weeks has past since I dated Sungmin. We’re in the cute text messages stage. We always text message rain or shine. Sungmin bought me a blackberry since he is sick of seeing me using a phone which has been dropped a zillion times, even dropped in water and it still work. Now I can’t stop sending him messages. Bzzzz...

Hello Sayang! How are you? Have you eaten? :3

Every time I see the messages he send me, I laugh. I could hear him say it in my head, using his aegyo.

Good Morning Oppa! I’m fine, I just woke up! Not yet I’m going to have breakfast now! :D

I pressed sent. Gosh..being a girlfriend of a korean popstar icon is a tough job. We have to keep it a secret, or else I’ll be getting 5 anti websites and all..
I got out of bed, wearing my shorts and tank, I headed to the bathroom to shower. EICK! I look horrible in the morning. After I took a shower, I figure out what to wear for the day. Aishh..just wear something comfortable. I went outside of my room towards Rachel’s room. Opened the door, the bed was neat and tucked in, no one is in the room. She must be in the kitchen. After that, I head towards Idura’s. The room was cold. What is this? -9 degrees!?? I off the air condition and opened the curtains to let sunshine in. I love natural sunlight, it calms me. “Woi! Wake up! Its like 10!” I shouted at her. I took off the blanket. She is wearing her over size t-shirt Ryeowook bought for her birthday last year. “hmmmmm...2 minutes!” she mumbled still closing her eyes. “NO! Wake up!! We need to go! Our class starts in 1 hour!” I shouted back! You see, theres a building not far from our apartment. It’s a performing arts school where you can learn music, dancing and acting. I’m taking dancing and vocals. Idura is taking acting. She’s a decent actress, if I say so myself. “okay! fine! give me a minute..” she mumbled again. Aishh! I give up. I stormed out her room slamming the door. “oooohhh! Someone’s angry..” Rachel said jokingly, sipping her cup of coffee. “It’s Idura! She won’t wake up!” I complain. Rachel put down her coffee on the kitchen table and headed towards Idura’s room.

After 2 min, I could see Idura’s all dress. How in the world..? “See! Easy!” Rachel said proudly. “Fine..fine..” I say, I didn’t want to fight back since i’m enjoying my tea. I’m not really a fan of coffee, I’m more of a tea person, mostly hot chocolate..”hmmmhhmm” Idura mumbled while rubbing her eyes. “hmmmm..Hungry....” She said. “Marissa is getting us breakfast from the coffee shop downstairs” Rachel said still sipping her coffee.

DingDong..

“I’ll get it!” I said, I quickly put down my tea and head to the main door. I open to find Marissa having trouble carrying our breakfast. “I didn’t know what you guys like so I bought everything” she said trying to keep her balance. “Everything?!” Rachel shouted form the inside. “Not everything! but a lot of food” she said while trying to get off of her heels. “Here..let me help” I said giving her a hand. We went inside the house, put the food on the table. I’m in charge or preparing breakfast so I got out the plates and cups. Rachel was kind enough to help me set up. Idura is busy with her laptop and Marissa is in her room cleaning off herself. “So..” Rachel said while holding a stack of plates on her hand. “So..?” I said getting the food out of the bag. “How are you and Sungmin?” “Oh! It’s fine.” I said confidently. Bzzzzz...It’s my phone.

Okay! Don’t forget we’re having lunch together at Rokuzen! I’ll pick u up! Anyong! ~

“It’s Sungmin. We’ve been sending a lot of text messages these past few days” I say feeling worried. “Awwhhh! I remember my text messages stage when I dated Donghae a few months go” she said trying to recall her days. “What about you and Donghae? Everything’s fine?” I said setting up the forks and spoons. “Yeahh..” she said while looking down at the floor. Oh no..something’s not right. “No..its not yeahh..something is not quite right..” I say while putting my hand on her shoulder. “No! Everything’s fine” she said trying to force out a smile. “Okay! Can I be honest with you?” she finally open up. “Of course!” I said to her. Can’t believe she asked me that, I’m an honest person. “Sit down..” I say to her giving her a chair to sit on. “It’s just that..Donghae is great, he’s perfect!” she said. Her facial expression is sad. “But..he doesn’t want to show his parents who am I” “Meaning..?” I say, this is confusing. “Okay, for the past few months, Donghae introduced me to his parents as his close friend not girlfriend so now he’s mom thinks i’m just his friend and I think she doesn’t like me..” she said softly. My heart sink. “Are you sure..?” I said trying to look into her eyes. “Yes! I’m positive! It’s like he is scared to introduced me as his girlfriend towards his mom!” “I’m sick of it!” she continued. Her words and voice grew louder. I calmed her down. “He said he is not ready to show his mom who I really am” “It’s kinda silly but that’s Donghae” she said taking a sip of her coffee. “Maybe..he’s just want you to be comfortable. Give him some time, Donghae loves you. How many years?” I said trying to cheer her up. “3 years..” she said happily but she couldn’t tell that to my face. She was shy. “See! then you have nothing to be worried about!” I say happily. I gave her a hand and we continue our job.

Everyone was happy eathing breakfast. “Oh gosh Marissa! You bought the whole cafe” I said jokingly. I tried to open my chocolate pudding but I failed. “Here! Let me help” she snatched the pudding from my hand and successfully opened my pudding. How does she do that? Marissa looked into her swatch watch, “I have to go in 15 minutes, Cello class is starting early today.” she said while taking a bite of her bagel. Marissa is taking Cello, Piano and Vocals. “Okay! Gotta go! Bye! Muahhh!” she said in a hurry, she took her Cappuccino, wore her heels, took her gucci bag and head out of the door. We waved at her and she left. “How many more minutes left before we have to go?” I said while sipping my hot chocolate Marissa bought me. “30 minutes, so now we can rest” she said while taking a big bite of her chocolate croissant. “I don’t want to go!” Idura said giving us the pout. “IDURA! YOU CAN’T DO AEGYO! ONLY I CAN!” I shouted at her jokingly. Hope she doesn’t take this personal. “I CAN!” she shouted back showing more aegyo. “Okay GUYS! No fighting!” Rachel said trying to break us up. “Natasha started it!” Idura said. I giggled but seriously only I can do aegyo.

It was 12 and its time to go for class. I personally don’t want to go, I just want to stay in our cosy little 4 bedroom apartment in the city of Seoul. Next to the river. Its a very wonderful place to stay for a reasonable price. “Let’s go!” Rachel shouted, she is wearing her flowery dress she got at a market for only a few bucks and a belt. She is carrying her black classic Chanel bag and flats. “Coming!” I say trying to find my music book. I head towards Rachel who is waiting at the front door looking annoyed. I’m wearing this dress I bought in Vietnam few years ago, a blue tote bag and black flats from london. OH! don’t forget my Louis Vuitton bag and my Mark Jacob sunglasses, It was on sale! “HURRY UP IDURA!” I shouted. It’s hot and sticky and we’re kinda late. “Sorry! SORRY!” she said while getting her shawl ready. She is wearing skinny jeans with a white top, black cardigan and adidas sneakers I got for her. I taught her well..”Awesome outfit!” I couldn’t help but to compliment her outfit, its so good. I’m a little jealous. “Can we go now? Please?!” Rachel shouted at us. Okay..we’re going.

We were in Rachel’s bright red mini cooper. She’s the only one who can drive, I’m still learning and Idura is going to get hers next week. Marissa is taking her’s next year, now she is using the train station. While driving through Seoul, the sky was blue, everyone looked healthy and the city is clean. I lower down the windows, the smell of fresh air is really calming. The smell of freshly cut grass, summer wind is amazing. It feels like camp again.

Before I knew it, Rachel already parked the car. In front of the entrance, great! Idura is having a hard time getting out of the mini cooper, since its really tiny. “Next time get a bigger car!” Idura complained while fixing her shawl. We couldn’t help but to laugh. “HEY! this car is very cute, okay?” Rachel said trying to defend her car’s honor.

We make our way to the main glass door, from then we split up going to our own classes. Rachel is taking journalism. They just opened a new class for writing and reading which is perfect for our Rachel. I made my way to my class which was singing. I couldn’t help but to look into the doors. While walking to my class, I could hear someone playing violin. It sounds soothing, that person is really good! I tried to follow the sound, the sound became louder and I opened the door. They girl is wearing high waisted black pants, a white Thomas Pink blouse and Heels from YSL. She has short hair and she looked graceful playing the delicate instrument.

That couldn’t be..?

OH MY GOSH!

Is that..?

“Emma?!” I blurted out the name loudly. She stopped playing as soon as she heard the name, she turned around to see who had disturbed her but her facial expression changed as soon as she saw me. “TASH? NATASHA? TASHA? TASH?” She shouted putting down her violin and quickly running towards me giving me a big hug. I haven’t seen Emma since I graduated from school. I went to London to pursue my studies while she went to Austria to pursue her music. “I heard you’re big in Europe!” I said to her happily. “Yeah! Kind of!..” she said while rubbing her head. “I read about you when I was in Germany! You said we’re the next Beethoven or Mozart or something!” I couldn’t help but to jump for joy! Emma has been my close friend for years! We were class mates and we’re the cool ones in our class! “No! Don’t be silly! I’m not as good as them” she said trying to avoid eye contact. “Emma..you’re so modest..” I say and give her another hug. I looked at my Adidas watch I bought yesterday, Oh my gosh! Is that the time?..!! “I have to go ems!” I say in a hurry trying to gather my stuff. “Catch up with you later! OKAY?” I said almost heading out of the door. “I’LL CALL YOU!” I said, I was already outside running towards my class which was at the end.

I opened the door to my class, I was panting. “Sorry I’m late!” I said while trying to catch a breath. “You’re late..AGAIN!” “Sorry! I had to do something..” I said innocently. “Well..if you want to be a good singer you need determination and discipline. Is that right Ms.Natasha?” she said while holding a ruler on her hand. She is wearing this super 80s outfit which doesn’t look good on her. Is that shimmery lipgloss she’s wearing?!, she’s 50! “Okay! Let’s start with warm ups!” she cut me off.  “START!”

After class, I waited for Sungmin in the front of the building. Where the heck is he? I tried calling him but he doesn’t answer. Aishh..It was hot outside so I decided to wait inside. While I was getting out my ipod, I could hear someone playing the piano smoothly. I’m a er for piano players so I searched where the noise is coming from.
The noise is coming from the end of the building. I’ve never been to the end of the building before, so I was quite scared. The noise became louder as I came closer to the end. I tried to peek into the door, tried to open it softly as possible. I could see a guy playing the piano, full of passion and energy. I almost got a tear in my eye, he had almost the same hair as Sungmin, awesome! I looked even closer.

Sungmin?..!

“Sungmin?!” I shouted at him. He stopped playing, turned towards me. “WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!” I shouted at him. “Playing the piano! Come sit down next to me..” he said while patting the seat next to him. “NO! I don’t want to sit next to you! I mean why are you here! In this building! Playing the piano!?” I said, I was so mad at him. The piano was on the stage so he had to get down, he went towards me and hold me with his hands. “Natasha! Chill..” he said softly. “SME building is just next door, all SME people can use this building. It’s by SM! and You asked me to pick u up at 3” he said. He has a point. I did ask him to pick me up at 3. “Class ended early..” I said looking embarrassed. I just can’t win towards him, he has this power over me. I hate it. He lifted up my head with his hand and gave me a kiss. “Rokuzen?” he said smiling at me. I nodded.

“Cold Soba please! Arigato!” I said to the waiter proudly. “I taught you well..” Sungmin said with a smirk. “Hai!” I said using the most aegyo voice I could do. Sungmin rubbed my head. “SEE! My aegyo is contagious..” “Aniyo! I’m naturally aegyo!” I said proudly. “Here is your cold soba, Ms.” the waiter said to me. “Arigato gozaimahss” The waiter left giving me a wink. “I think the waiter likes you” Sungmin said to me jokingly. I gave him a smile and focus on my soba.

“Sungmin?” I said while eating my soba. “Yes?” he said while eating his sashimi. “How long have you played the piano?” I asked him. He paused and thinks. “erm..many years..”   “Is that why you have long fingers?” I said pointing to his fingers. “I guess..I don’t like them though..” “WHY NOT?” I shouted. I always wanted long finger but sadly I don’t. “I like them” I said with a smile. “Well..then you should see HeeChul’s hands” he said jokingly. “I know! I like his hands!” I said while slurping on my cold soba. After that, we started to laugh and talked for hours.
