"Hello?"

The moment the voice on the other end came through the phone, Hana felt a pang of guilt surge through her. She couldn't do this! Not when Jaejoong was smiling at her happily from a photo frame. Knowing his temper, he would tolerate anything but this.

"Ah..it's me."

"I know. Are you alright? You didn't reply my message."

"I...I am not alright. I don't feel well."

"Are you at home now? Is there anyone with you?"

"Yeah and I'm alone."

"Ok..I'll come over."

After hanging up, Hana immediately regretted it. She snuck a peek at the photo of her and Jaejoong, then turned it around so that it wasn't facing her. He will never find out!

As she lied on the couch facing the ceiling, she began to think of her stupid boy Jaejoong. She missed their usual kissing routine..his hearty laughter and even and the smell of his shampoo...sigh. If only he was here now. But she had other things to worry about, like her increasingly sore limbs and throbbing headache. Soon, her vision started blurring...

"Hana? Are you okay?"

"Jaejoong?" she muttered, then broke into a wide smile, "You're back!"

She looked at him dreamily, admiring his good looks and feeling blissful... but why is his voice so gruff today?

"Are you okay? Can you hear me?" he repeated, and lifted her up as gently as he could

Suddenly, Jaejoong disappeared, and in his place was his most hated enemy, Rain. Hana was pretty sure Jaejoong would skin her alive if he ever found out. But at that point of time she really wanted to see him..

"How did you get in..?" she looked at him through half open eyes

"Since you didn't come to the door I went downstairs and got the key from Mia."

"Oh.." she nodded in acknowledgement

After a brief period of silence, they then realized how awkward their position was. She abruptly released her arms from around her neck and he put her down on the couch.

"So, what happened to you? Who upset you?" he sat down beside her, his tone was so caring that it suddenly made her want to.....

Cry.

And so she burst into tears and buried her face in his shoulder.

"You're running a temperature, you should rest first." he patted her back

"Just let me complain. I am so tired of everything!" she cried, then told him everything that has been making her unhappy. From Taecyeon kissing her to Jaejoong's rumour to being forced to go on shows, everything.

Although it is now Rain who likes her, she recalled the days when she was the one who harboured a crush on him. She has always been attracted to him for some reason. He wasn't even that funny - he had a stiff sense of humour and wasn't as affectionate as Jaejoong was..but he was extremely gentle and made a good listening ear, which was a total opposite from his tough guy image.

"and.... and....I miss Jaejoong so ing much!" she finally ended her rant, which took all of half an hour.

"I can tell." he smiled, thumbing away a teardrop that slid down her cheek, "You mistook me for him."

"Oh..I'm sorry" she lowered her head, "I guess I was dreaming."

Rain nodded, "I've always been curious as to how you two met, care to share?"

Like Donghae, she first met Jaejoong on the day she entered the company together with Key. Key was brought to meet some of the other male trainees while she was asked to wait in the conference room with some other company executives. Because she didn't feel comfortable sitting with them, she decided to excuse herself to the most dilapidated changing room she could find.

While sitting in one of the cubicles, she heard voices enter. Male voices. Dammit she came into the wrong one!

"Can you hurry up?"

"Hey! You are the one who is always dragging!"

"Man this shirt is so tacky. I want to change this! I can't go meet a pretty girl wearing this!"

"Oh yes you can. Your face will scare her already."

"I hope I look good. Thankfully I've got a good hair day. I can't wait to meet that girl. HURRY UP JAEJOONG!"

Jaejoong? Hana wasn't that familiar with kpop but she was pretty sure she has heard of this name.

"I am having a stomachache alright?! Do you care more for your pal or the girl?!"

"The girl."

"Changmin-ah did you take my pants? This is too small for me!"

"Just admit you grew fat hyung." a voice replied, "My pants are mine. Your pants are yours. Anyway I am changed and ready to go!"

"Me too! I'm done as well!"

"So am I! Now it's between Jaejoong and Yunho."

"No it is now Jaejoong. I'm finished too!"

"That's great! Let's go now!"

"WHAT ABOUT ME?!"

"Continue relieving your stomachache hyung, we will root for you mentally from the conference room. Our hearts will always be here for you."

"Ah! Yoochun has already snuck out without us noticing. Bye hyung bye bye sayonara!"

"See you downstairs! Love you bye!"

"YAH! SHIM CHANGMIN! JUNG YUNHO!" Jaejoong shouted, "KIM JUNSU?! PARK YOOCHUN?!?!?!?! I NEED TOILET PAPER! YAH! Yah...." his voice trailed away to nothingness

Hana opened the cubicle door slightly to confirm whether there was anyone around before stepping out cautiously. She could hear the endless mumbling from the cubicle.

"I shouldn't have trusted them... I am so lonely now." he sighed, "Now what?"

Hana giggled and decided to save him from his plight so she took toilet paper and threw it into the cubicle that he was in.

"Oh? Is that you Yunho? or is it Junsu?" she could hear the smile in his voice, "You can't be Changmin or Yoochun, those little rascals wouldn't be so kind hearted"

While she was pondering if she should reply, he suddenly talked again, "Yah! You are wearing pink shoes...Tiffany? Jessica? Why are you not answering me?!"

Not knowing how to respond, Hana quickly escaped back to the conference room.

"Where did you go?" Key asked as she sat down beside him. They have been bestfriends since they were eight, when Hana first moved back to Korea from England.

"I'll tell you later."

"Where is Jaejoong?" Director Lee, who was sitting right in the middle, asked impatiently

"He has a stomachache so he will come down later." one of them spoke and Hana recognized this voice. So they were the ones in the changing room!

Some ten minutes after they began the introduction...

"Sorry I'm late!"

All eyes turned to the door.

Hana felt her heart skip a beat as she finally got to see the owner of that voice. He looked like just like... an angel.

"I'm Kim Jaejoong. Nice to meet you Hana." he looked at Hana with an earnest smile and bowed.

"You forgot the boy, he's called Kibum." Yoochun reminded

"Nice to meet you hyung, you can call me Key."

"Nice to meet you too." he bowed slightly to Key.

At that point of time, Jaejoong had the exact same thoughts as she did in his mind.

This girl..she has got to be the prettiest girl he has seen. She looks like an angel.

While peeking at her, he noticed that she was leaning against the boy beside her and would whisper to him from time to time. They seemed very close.

As a woman went on and on about their members , Jaejoong casually picked up a pen from the table and started twirling it, thinking about the seemingly unusual relationship between Key and Hana.

Suddenly, when a producer left the room, she accidentally slammed the door, causing Jaejoong to snap out of his daydream and drop the pen. He mentally cursed and went under the table to pick it up. Then, he noticed they were even wearing matching Nike sneakers, except that his was in yellow and hers were in neon pink.

.....neon pink?

Ah! So she was the one who gave him the toilet paper!

Hana noticed him staring and looked at him. He mouthed "toilet paper?" and she nodded. Both of them then broke into silent giggles, like high school students flirting. It was definitely love at first sight for Jaejoong.

After their session ended, Jaejoong immediately went up to her to make small talk as they made their way down to the cafeteria while the other members, knowing what he was up to, distracted Key from Hana.

"You're going to the cafeteria as well?"

"Yeah, my friends are waiting there for me" she has seen her fair share of good-looking people, but something about this guy was different.

"Oh...how are you and Key related?"

"We've been bestfriends since I was eight!"

"Ah..I thought he was your boyfriend."

"You're not the first one. Everyone assumes that, but hmm.. He's just like my older brother. But you know what? We have the same birthday..so I guess we're like twins."

Jaejoong secretly rejoiced, so he wasn't her boyfriend!

"Oh... so you are not attached?" he asked gleefully as they reached the cafeteria

She smiled at him, "Actually, I am! In fact, my boyfriend is behind you now."

Before Jaejoong's heart even had time to break, a guy approached her.

"This is Nichkhun."

Jaejoong forced a smile at Nichkhun and shook his hand uninterestedly. His life .

Because they often trained together, Hana grew close to DBSK. Jaejoong always made Changmin do the dirty job and ask Hana about her boyfriend, hoping that they would break up as soon as possible. He even considered black magic, then felt ashamed of himself for even thinking about such methods.

But his willpower really worked, because one fine day he overheard Key telling Heechul that Hana broke up with Nichkhun because she's too young for a serious relationship and that he was becoming too dependent on her. He could see the imaginary fireworks lighting up his imaginary sky. His time has come! With Nichkhun out of the way, he could finally work his charms on her.

Although there were many other guys who liked Hana, she was very biased towards Jaejoong. She found every part of him likable, but she couldn't pinpoint exactly why until Key nonchalantly told her, "Unless he cast voodoo on you..it's probably love. Puppy love or something."

"Anyway, he just assumed that I was his girlfriend, and he assumed it for a very long time." coming back to the present, Hana explained their story slowly to Rain, who seemed rather amused.

"My friends thought it was just a silly crush and wouldn't last, but I think I actually want to marry him. He's really sweet! He would always write little messages on post it notes and stick it all over my dorm. Once, he sent me this polaroid of himself with his arm around nothing. And there was a message that said 'unless you are in this picture, I'll always be alone.', isn't he cute?"

"Yeah he is." Rain laughed, "Your face lit up talking about him. I'll cook you something, what would you like?"

"Anything. I am not very hungry."

"I'll see what I can find." he got up and went into the kitchen, feeling oddly disappointed. Hana probably didn't know that he dropped all the work he had at hand just to accompany her, only to be mistaken for Jaejoong.

While Rain milled around in the kitchen, Hana stared at the clock. How long has it been since she saw Jaejoong?

At this very moment, she received an incoming video call from a private number.

"DARLING IT'S ME!" Jaejoong's retarded but absolutely adorable voice burst through the phone

She squealed in surprise when she saw his face appear on the screen, she didn't even feel sick anymore, "AAAH MY BABY BOYYY HOW DID YOU MANAGE TO CALL ME? I miss you~"

"I miss you too. While those s weren't noticing I got someone to lend it to me." he beamed at her, looking too happy for words

"You look so tired, did you not sleep well? Are you ill? Did anything bad happen to you? Are the people there nice to you?" she was unable to contain her worry and affection.

"I am well and healthy now with Yunho taking care of me. I have too much to tell you, I'll tell you when we meet. We're coming back this thursday to attend the Golden Disk Awards!" he started cackling in joy and she could hear the other members cheering in the background, "You are so skinny now, have you not been eating well?"

"I'm just a little tired because of my schedules.. but I'm well now after looking at your face." she giggled, "How are the other brats doing? I hope they are all healthy and well too."

"We are all big guys, we can survive. But YOU on the other hand, you need to rest more. Don't overwork yourself! You look so pale..I'll make you nice food when I return! Oh and Changmin says he misses you, but I'm not going to let him or the others speak to you since he got to go back to korea two weeks ago. All of them want to take up my precious talking time."

She could see the others hovering behind him, trying to catch her attention, "I miss all of them too."

"Get lost!" he escaped to an empty room with nobody else, "Anyway, I need to tell you that.. there is nothing between me and that girl."

"Ah.."

"Really! It was all a set-up! That was my first time meeting her, I don't even remember how she looks like now! There's only you for me~"

"Don't worry, I believe you." she would believe everything he told her.

"Who are you talking to?" Rain suddenly emerged from the kitchen and Hana hurriedly pointed to her phone and mouthed 'Jaejoong'. Rain got the hint and went back into the kitchen.

"WHO WAS THAT?! I HEAR A GUY!" Jaejoong shot her an offended look

"That was Key, he's cooking so he can't say hi."

"Ah..Key" he heaved a sigh of relief, ""Anyway. I have to go for a meeting now, remember that I love you very very very very very very very much!"

"I love you very very very very very much too my little pudding pie~" the mushy, soppy teenager in her was raging.

"I don't think I'll be able to speak to you again until I return to korea, see you on thursday!"

"Hehe I can't wait to see you." she puckered her lips at the camera and he did the same. They were two very lovesick people.

"Man I don't wanna hang up." he made a sad face

"Neither do I. It's okay, I'll see you in five days time!"

"Five days...that's too long. I need to see you now."

"Well, we have survived one month!"

"That makes sense...alright then.. you can hang up first."

"I don't want to! You hang up first"

"Why me? I called you, you should hang up first."

"But..I don't want to hang up on you."

After arguing for the next five minutes, Hana unwillingly agreed to hang up first.

Everything seemed awesome now that she knew when she was going to see him again and even the noodles that Rain cooked tasted exceptionally good. Then, it suddenly occured to her that she might have just hurt him by telling him about Jaejoong. But she can't take back her words now....and if Jaejoong finds out that Rain was here he would go ballistic. Great, she was too stupid.

She just can't have the best of both worlds can she?
