What would you do if you discovered a perverted boy you don't like is your best friend's boyfriend's best friend? Sounds complicated, I know. But really, it could happen. A Chungang University senior student named Jessica Jung and her family moved to Seoul, Korea from her hometown, San Francisco, California. She worked at "Kids' Soul of a Pianist" as a part time job, a place nearby the university. It was a non-profit part time job. Having admiration for kids that wants to be a pianist was the reason she worked there.

Upon her first arrival to school, she confronted a prince-like male student named Choi Sooyoung, who she thought was a pervert. It wasn't the first time she met him though; the first time was at Kids' Soul of a Pianist. Sooyoung played a piano duet with her and that caught her attention, even everyone that were presented in that small room. As she was seeing, his face was so marvelously handsome and yet fierce that exhibited unhappiness. No plain greeting nor simple interaction after. Just for a while, Jessica inherited dolphin's personality and Sooyoung became his real self.

Foreword

Prologue: Flashback

Two young boys were at their "secret clubhouse" at the school's park. It did not have a certain name to it. It wasn't just any "club" house; it was situated under a long, blue slide. Not a secluded area, but great for a hiding place.

12-year-old Kim Taeyeon said, "Hey... what happened to your face?"

No complete answer from 11-year-old Choi Sooyoung except: "I-I..I"

Both of them were sitting on the ground, shoulder-to-shoulder. Taeyeon turned his body then gently caressed his hands on his dongsaeng's cheeks. He could tell that he was in pain and sorrow. The older boy got up from the ground. Taeyeon exclaimed in frustration: "Dude^__!"

He was about to talk, but was only interrupted by Sooyoung. "Yah Kim Taeyeon, what dude? Dude means a cool cowboy... are you calling me a cool cowboy?!" Of course Sooyoung was half-joking with his words; trying to enliven the heavy atmosphere.

The older boy sighed and began again. "That evildoer's dirty hands laid on you^__again?!" Taeyeon clenched his fist into a round-shaped; also colored like last winter's snow day.

No response from Sooyoung.

Taeyeon's body was just a few inches away from the other certain guy. He went to Sooyoung, who's been sitting all along, grabbed his shaking hand and started hauling. Tugging was clear as a bell to both of them. In the middle of tugging, Taeyeon didn't turn and gravelly said, "Even if you don't say it, I know what I'm thinking right now is true!"

Sooyoung tried to stop him, but was not strong enough even though he was taller. Until he finally pulled back that made Taeyeon somehow turned his head first then the body second; he knew that he was doing the right thing.

"Well then, what can I do?!" said Sooyoung. It felt as like all feelings were poured onto his words. The pulling back and forth stopped. Tears started to form in the victim's innocent eyes.

"I tried telling my mom... but she didn't believe my words and she said that Mr. Han is a good husband and a step-father... She said he wouldn't do such thing!" He weakly and slowly fell onto the ground, then followed by Taeyeon.

Silence for ten seconds.

Taeyeon broke the silence. "You can... live somewhere else other than that^__house." He said shyly; rubbing the back of his neck. Trying to get-to-the-point with gestures.

"Then would you live with me?"

Taeyeon just gave 'are-you-kidding-me' look to him. His answer was one word long. "No."

A few seconds of staring felt like eternity. "..."

But Taeyeon wasn't done with his answer. He continued again, "No. Not unless YOU MOVE in with me to my house. I will never move into your luxurious mansion because of that evildoer."

Sooyoung hesitantly stood up from the filthy ground. "What... Taeyeonnie? You said... I can m-move into your^__house?" A voice starting to crack.

The older boy got up too. "Yes." He smilingly answered.

"Thank you... thank you! Thank you Taeyeonnie!" His knees bent down like a beggar begging for money.

"Yah, what are you doing?! I know we're the only two here but^__get up Sooyoung!" As expected, still kneeling down while holding his helping hands.

"Fine. I won't let you^__"

"No! No... I'll get up. But once again, thanks."

Taeyeon helped him stood up. "Why were you even bowing to me? You don't even call me hyung (older brother), so why bother bowing to me?" Sooyoung just pouted.

"Fine. Let's go to Turning Point's arena to watch racing!" Taeyeon said excitedly. No doubt that Sooyoung would agree because 'em boys really love extreme motorcycle races."

Flashback ended
