Finally, the day that they would announce the super idol members finally arrived. Everyone was really excited and happy. JB looked to his side and saw Rian with Ailee and Nana. They were holding hands waiting for the results. He smiled. He just wished she would make it and reach her dream.

“The winners of the super idol competition are… Yoojin, Uibong, Siwoo, Ailee, Hongjoo and the last one is… Rian”

Rian covered shocked and then smiled happily. Nana smiled to her and pushed her up the stage. JB was clapping like mad and when his eyes met hers, she looked away shyly. Now, she was one step closer to reaching her dream.

“We will also give Nana and JB a second chance to audition when they recover since they won too” the PD announced and everyone clapped excited. Siwoo and Hongjoo hugged suddenly and when they realized what they were doing, they pulled away disgusted. Rian was really happy to hear that. Both Nana and JB deserved it.

Rian looked at JB and smiled at him. He smiled back. Their longing looks said that they missed each other very much.

 After that, the PD went to look for Haesung. He had something really important to tell her. When he finally found her, he called her.

“Shin Haesung” he called her and she looked back “I have to talk to you”

“neh” she said smiling

“We’d like to offer you a scholarship to go to study composing in a university in USA” he said and dropped open. Her eyes widened in disbelief. Those weren’t the kind of news that someone would blurt out just like that but knowing the PD, it was expected from him.

“Really?” she asked really shocked and he nodded with a smile

“We’ve already sent your application and they accepted it” he said “Hello to myself was included in Ye Eun’s album and Together was the song that was most voted during the audition. You have potential Haesung, don’t waste this opportunity”

“Do I have to accept now?” she asked a little bit hesitant

“You have to make a choice within this month or else they give your place to someone else” the PD said and she looked down. A part of her wanted to accept, another part of her didn’t want to leave all the people she cared about.

“Is there something or someone that is holding you back?” he asked her and suddenly the image of Yoojin came to her mind. She shook her heard blushed. Why was she suddenly thinking of him again?.

“Anniyo” she said “Just give me some time to think about it”

“Haesung don’t waste this opportunity” he repeated “You wanted to become a singer but weren’t good, now you want to compose and have a great opportunity ahead of you. Don’t lose it”

“Thank you” she said and bowed down before leaving.

She walked to the practice room still thinking about what the PD said. She was really distracted. Should she accept? She didn’t know what to do.

“What are you doing here?” someone suddenly asked. She turned around and saw JB. She smiled.

“I just came here to think” she said “How did things go with Rian?”

JB sighed and sat next to her. He looked defeated.

“She doesn’t want me” he said sadly “She said she wasn’t going to hold onto me anymore since she should pursue her dream”

She just listened to him and let him continue talking.

“It’s ironic how it was me who gave up on her because of my dream and now it’s her who gives up on me for her dream” he continued and sighed again “But I can’t blame her”

 “But tell me about you” he said suddenly changing the topic “Why are you like this?”

She didn’t reply and just handed him the papers that the PD gave. He opened the envelope and as he read, his eyes widened.

“Haesung , this is great!” he said excited and then looked at her and frowned “Why don’t you look happy?”

“I don’t know if I should accept it” she said sighing

“Accept what?” someone suddenly interrupted them. They both looked at the door startled and saw a serious looking Yoojin.  

“I think I should leave you two alone” JB said smiling and left. Yoojin walked towards Haesung and she tried to hide the papers but he saw them and took them.  He read what was on the paper and his eyes widened as JB’s did.

“So this is what you didn’t want to show me” he said. A part of him was happy for her but another part of him didn’t want her to go. He hadn’t even confessed his feelings to her and he didn’t know if he would ever be able to do so.

“It isn’t that important anyway” she said nervously

“Really?” he asked “Then you don’t mind if I rip it, don’t you?”

Haesung was shocked when she heard that and felt like her heart would fall out when she heard the sound of paper ripping. Yoojin laughed at her expression and showed her the letter that was still intact. He had only ripped the envelope.

“If it isn’t important, then why did you react like that?” he asked teasing her

“Yah! That was not funny” Haesung said trying to snatch the paper from his hand. He put it up so that she wouldn’t reach it and they both tripped. Haesung accidentally fell over Yoojin and closed her eyes embarrassed.

When she opened her eyes, she realized that their faces were only inches apart. She blushed and Yoojin blushed as well. She immediately stood up and fixed her clothes, while Yoojin looked away and coughed. Haesung snatched the papers from his hand suddenly.

“Why don’t you want to accept?” he suddenly asked her and she didn’t know what to say

“What do you think I should do?” she asked looking at him

“You should accept, silly” he said smiling, even though he was hurt inside “This is once in lifetime chance”

“Do you think so?” she asked and he nodded

“Of course” he said and she smiled. She knew now that she had to accept but a part of her would have wanted him to stop her.

The news of her winning a scholarship to study composing spread out really fast everyone was happy for her. She was already packing up her things but there was still something she had to do. When she was about to go out, she bumped into someone. She smiled, it was exactly the person she was looking for.

“So I heard about it” Rian said “I’m happy for you, really”

“Thank you” Haesung said “I wish you good luck too”

“I think now I can consider you my friend” she said smiling and Haesung smiled as well

"Me too" Haesung said smiling

“But… there is something I don’t understand” Rian suddenly said and she looked at her with curiosity

“What?” Haesung asked confused. Rian looked closely at her

“What did JB see in you?” she asked and Haesung laughed

“Do you think JB really likes me?” she asked and Rian frowned

“Of course he does” she said a little bit hurt “He was willing to give up his dream for you, something he wouldn’t have done for me.”

“He was young and immature back then” Haesung said and Rian frowned confused “He didn’t know what he wanted and he was hurt because of what happen to his dad. Now I think he knows better, you should ask him”

“What are you talking about?” Rian asked confused

“You should figure that out yourself” she said smiling. She took out something from her pocket and put it on her hands. Rian looked at it confused, it was the K pendant.

“I believe this was yours” she said

“I already told you, I don’t need it” she said

“Just keep it” Haesung said and then walked out. She was going to have a last dinner with her father and her little sister and she didn’t want to make them wait.

As she was walking to the taxi, she looked up and saw Yoojin looking at her from the balcony. She smiled to him and he smiled back. For him, it felt as if she was already leaving. It hurt him so much since he felt like he had lost her.

……………………………………………

 The super idols were finally preparing to see who was going to be number one. The ultimate winner of the competition would sign a contract with a really important international company and they couldn’t miss this chance.

Everyone was on the waiting room, excited except for JB and Yoojin. Rian looked around and didn’t spot any of them so she started to get worried.

Yoojin was on the basketball court playing with the ball. That was the day Haesung was going to leave and he wasn’t feeling all right. He heard some footsteps coming from the stairs and he looked up.

JB walked down with some difficulty as his leg wasn’t fully recovered yet.

“What are you doing here?” JB asked him snatching the ball away from him

“Thinking” Yoojin replied expressionless. JB smirked

“Why don’t you just throw away your pride and go talk to her” JB suddenly said and Yoojin’s eyes widened

“What? Who said I was thinking about Haesung huh?” he asked nervously and JB laughed

“Let’s play a game” JB suggested “If I shoot and it gets in, you go and confess to Haesung”

“And what if I win?” Yoojin asked

“Then you can stay here and do what you want” JB replied and threw the ball to the hoop. Yoojin looked at it anxiously and it got in. JB smiled.

“I have to get ready” he said and left Yoojin. Yoojin took the ball and threw it, unfortunately it didn’t get in. He smiled. This game had never failed to help him make choices. Now he knew what to do

………………………………………

JB walked back to the changing room and Rian sighed relieved. He smiled happily when he saw her.

“I thought you weren’t coming” she said and he smiled again

“Were you worried about me?” he asked teasingly and she glared at him

“Of course!” she said angry and he laughed. He was glad to know that she still cared “But where’s Yoojin?”

“He is just following his heart” JB said smiling and everyone looked at him confused.

“JB… can you walk properly?” she asked hesitantly as she was worried about his condition. He smiled sweetly like always.

“I told you I’m fine” he said with a reassuring smile “If I wasn’t ok, I wouldn’t do this”

Rian didn't felt better after he told her that because she was still worried but she decided to let it go. Now it was time for their individual stages.

This was Nana’s and JB’s last chance to make it. He took a deep breath as it was his turn to go. He could have easily chosen to sing a ballad but he decided to dance. He was aware that his leg wasn’t recovered yet but he wouldn’t let that bring him down. He wanted to prove himself that he still could dance.

He walked slowly as he didn’t want anyone in the room to notice that he couldn’t walk properly. When he got to the stage and the music started playing Rian’s eyes widened.

“What does he think he is doing?” she asked worried as she saw him trying to dance without affecting his injured leg. He was moving clumsily but they could see he was trying hard. As he tried to make a difficult turn, he fell down and everyone gasped surprised.  That was it. The end of his dancing career was over. People around looked at him surprised and some pitied him. Rian stood up surprised and followed him as he walked backstage.

He went backstage and sat down feeling defeated. Some moments later, Rian went running towards him crying. She sat next to him and he smiled. 

The only thing he needed to feel better was to have Rian next to him.

“You turning out like this…” she said hurt “It’s all because of me… because I hated you”

She felt really guilty but he smiled to her and held her hand tightly. She was shocked with his sudden action but didn’t react.

“No, it’s because I had you that I was able to come this far. .. Thank you. .. You were watching over me during my stage debut, as well as my last stage today… I’m glad you were there to watch over me.  In the beginning and at the end, you’ve given me strength by being with me”

He took his pair of shoes and handed them over to her. She looked at him surprised.

“My 10th pair of sneakers” he said “You dreamed and sweated just like me, and you worked even harder than me. I’ve watched over how much you’ve suffered and worked hard for it. Now, I’ll cheer you on. Tonight, sing for yourself.”

“You still remember it?” she asked talking about the shoes and he nodded “What you told me?”

“I would never forget it” he said smiling

“Those shoes… really meant something to me” she said opening up to him after such a long time

“Of course” he said smiling “Those shoes were like couple rings for us”

Rian laughed at his comment and he smiled sincerely to her. She had really missed his sweet smile.

“Don’t worry about me” he said looking at her and holding her hand again “My dream of being a dancer was beautiful but now I have to pursue another one. Just go for yours”

“Don’t ever give up” she said and showed him her fist “Or I’ll punch you”

JB laughed and Rian smiled.

“Rian ah” he said and she looked at him “I’m sorry for hurting you so much”

“You don’t need to say it” she said smiling.  She was actually thankful because it was because of him that she could make it that far.

She stood up and was about to go when he suddenly held her wrist and back hugged her. She was shocked for moment and her heart started beating faster. He rested his head on her shoulder.

“I know you probably don’t want to hear this right now or maybe you don’t believe me” he whispered in her ear making her shiver “But you have to know something… I still love you. Only you”

Rian’s eyes widened upon his confession and she blushed hardly. Did he really mean it or was he just playing with her? And what about Haesung?

She had a lot of questions but at that moment, she had to go to stage as it was her turn.

“I should go, it’s my turn now” she said nervously and walked away from him. He smiled as he saw her leaving. He felt that maybe he still had a chance.

Rian went out and gave a touching speech about herself and about her friends. Everyone who had been next to her during all that time could notice how much she had grown up. More than anyone else, maybe. She was going to sing “Day by day” a song she composed herself with the help of Yoojin.

………………………….

Yoojin ran as fast as he could to the airport. He looked at his watch and regretted not coming earlier. He was running out of time. He didn’t mind how tired he was, he just wanted to catch her.

When he arrived, she saw that she about to enter. His eyes widened and he ran faster even though he was already out of breath.

“Shin Haesung!” he yelled with all his strength. She jumped startled after hearing his voice and turned around shocked to see him. He walked towards her and caught his breath before talking.

“What are you doing here?” she asked surprised

“I didn’t come here to stop you” he said looking at her sternly “I just couldn’t let you leave before telling you something first…”

“What is it…?” she asked nervously. Her heart was beating faster and her eyes widened he suddenly pulled her into a tight embrace.

“I like you Shin Haesung…” he sincerely said. If he had said it in another situation, she wouldn’t have believed him but his words sounded sincere. Her heart wouldn’t stop beating as she smiled blushed. Tears of joy started falling from her eyes.

“I like you too, Jin Yoojin” she said and he smiled brightly

“Promise me we’ll never lose contact” he told her looking at her into the eyes “And promise me you’ll call me if you ever need anything”

“I promise” she said smiling and she hugged him again. “Now go, you should go for your dream too”

He kissed her cheek and she blushed hardly. He waved at her as he ran away from the airport. Maybe he was still in time to go to the audition.

……………………………….

All the contestants had already done what had to, only Yoojin was left.  The PD called him many times but didn’t appear. The principal sighed disappointed.

“Well since Jin Yoojin is not here…” he was about to finish when he was interrupted by the door opening

“I’m here” Yoojin said and went to the stage. He took his guitar and was about to start playing. He closed his eyes and thought about everything. His mom, the school, his friends, Haesung, his dream… Was this really what he wanted? Did he really want to become a super idol?

He opened his eyes and smiled.

“G-minor” he suddenly said and everyone looked at him startled. The judges were also looking at him as if he was crazy.

“Want me to do it again?” he asked and smiled “G-minor!”

The PD looked at him as if he had screwed up everything but his friends were smiling. They it had never been his dream to become an idol.

“Sorry guys but this is not what I want” he said “The day I find what I really want to do, I’ll let you know”

He walked out of the stage and people clapped at him hesitantly. He had a smile on his face and he knew he had done the correct thing. Rian went to him and smiled.

“You did great” she said playing with his cheeks

“Do you really think I did great?” he asked and she smiled

“Of course” she said. In that moment, JB suddenly entered the waiting room and saw them. He looked at them with jealousy.

“Are you two dating?!” he asked and both of them were startled

“What? No, we are just good friends” Rian said nervously. Thinking that he was jealous made Rian smile. Maybe he did meant what he said… but she was too confused to give him an answer now.  She still wasn’t able to look into JB’s eyes after what he told her.

“I’m going to leave you two” she said nervously and exited the room. JB watched her as she left and sighed.

“What did you do to her?” Yoojin asked JB and the later glared at him

“What?” he asked “Nothing! I just… confessed”

Yoojin looked at him surprised and burst out laughing.

“OMG you confessed and she walked away!” he said still laughing “Way to go, man”

“Haha very funny” he said sarcastically and when he stopped laughing, he changed the subject “So… how things went with Haesung?”

 “I just hope she keeps in contact with me” Yoojin said smiling “What are you going to do about Rian?”

“I’m not planning to lose her again” JB said with a smile on his face “I’ll wait until she feels sure about my love for her again”
