Sunshine flowed in through the window awakening Somin from her slumber. Somin yawned and tried to get up when she felt a restrain. Looking down she found strong muscular hands wrapped around her. Following the arm her eyes finally fell on the peacefully sleeping Hyunjoong. Somin raised her hand and brushed across his fringes that fell over his face and traced her finger along the outlines of his face. "So handsome" Somin involuntarily whispred

"Thank you"

Somin froze at Hyunjoong's sudden response. A wide grin spread across his lips as Hyunjoong opened his eyes mischieviously to look at Somin's surprised expression. "You are very beautiful too" he said and kissed her forehead

Somin blushed and dropped her eyes. "Do you know..." she shyle raised her eyes to meet Hyunjoong's "this is the first time I shared my bed with a guy"

"Really?" Hyunjoong raised his torso,balancing it on his elbow. "I am honestly very happy at that piece of information" he bent down to kiss Somin, this time on the lips. After the kiss, Hyunjoong leaned back abit to stare straight into Somin's eyes,while letting his body hover over hers. "Do you think you can get used to this?"

Somin got tensed observing their proximity. Hyunjoong noticed Somin holding back her breath but he didnt move. "Breathe..." he simply said. Gradually Somin's breathing normalized and her trembling hands wrapped around Hyunjoong's neck

"Yes...slowly and steadily..." Somin whispered overcoming her anxiety

"I can wait..." Hyunjoong smiled and leaned in to kiss her again

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Preparations were going on in full swing. The SSboys were busy rehearsing their dance for the finale event. The songs for their comeback album were all recorded,only some post production was going on which was handled by Siwon. The rumour of their possible comeback was doing its rounds in the media and the boys toyed with them further by giving them incomplete answers. All this built up immense anticipation among the fans. Everyone was talking about the finale event. the event tickets became sold out within less than 48 hours.

Dong Sun was happy with the proceedings as well. Viewers from all over were submitting petitions for the season 2 of the drama and contract renewal. Moreover a prominent broadcasting station came forward with a very lucrative offer to  buy the rights of the drama's season 2.

Jungmin was happy with Seungyeon who had now become a regular visitor to the sets. She was working on her upcoming solo album but inspite of her busy schedule she took time out for Jungmin every single day.  Youngsaeng was,in particular, very happy to see their love blossom.

Hyunjoong and Somin hadnt been better. Hyunjoong was happy to finally be able to be with Somin and that reflected in his work. He was making some great music, he was full of energy and always kept smiling...

Everything was going smoothly and according to plan. Hence it shocked everyone when one fine evening an unexpected visitor came by.

 The SSboys were busy practising their dance moves as Dong Sun,Jessica,Seungyeon and Somin watched when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Hi everyone" Hwangbo peeked into the room.

Youngsaeng was so shocked to see her that he stepped on his own foot while dancing causing him to trip and fall.

Jungmin helped him get back on his feet while the others went to greet her. "Get a hold on yourself hyung" Jungmin mocked and joined the others to greet Hwangbo. Youngsaeng couldnt drag his legs to go upto her. A shower of emotions flooded through him as he saw Hwangbo--his overwhelming love for her, anger for leaving him, hurt caused by her betrayal.

*FLASHBACK*

"Hyung come palli! it's started!" Hyungjun cried out as soon as Youngsaeng entered the dormitory. The boys along with their manager and co-ordi nuna had all gathered to watch the finale of Boys Over Flowers. Youngsaeng quickly stepped out of his shoes and joined Hyunjoong on the couch who was busy navigating in his mobile and least interested to look at the TV screen

"Hyung where were you?" Jungmin asked "Did you forget today is the finale?"

 Hyunjoong looked uo from his cellphone and joined others to stare at Youngsaeng interrogatively

"I- I-..." Youngsaeng tensed up. He didnt know what to say,if he told them he was with Hwangbo they will pounce on him immediately asking him the reason. And that would be a major problem since he himself didnt know why he went to her. It seems an invisible string connecting him to her constantly pulled him towards her. But why or how this string came to be he didnt know. "I went to meet an old friend" he finally came up with an excuse

"Oh it's starting!!!! It's starting!" Maknae cried " I wonderwhat will happen to Junpyo and Jandi..and what will happen to hyung's character. I really wish Jandi goes to Jihoo--"

"Oh shut up already and watch!" Jungmin threw a cushion at Hyungjun's face and everyone attentively watched the TV screen.

Youngsaeng heaved a sigh of relief as everyone's focus shifted. Unvoluntarily a question popped up in his head--"was Hwangbo watching too?"

He knew Hwangbo watched every episode of BOF and her heart crushed into a thousand pieces everytime she saw Hyunjoong getting intimate with the female lead, though she put up a perfect 'I-dont-care' act

He sneakily took out his cellphone and typed----

'Are you watching?'--Youngsaeng.

He sent the text to Hwangbo and went back to watching the drama

The show ended and the boys kept looking at the screen as the credits rolled.

"I cant believe this..." Hyungjun sighed "Mianhe... hyung but jihoo is just pathetic"

"Nothing to feel sorry about. I agree, he's a loser" Hyunjoong stated plainly. "i'd never do something like that"

But why would he do something like that?" hyungjun cried,getting up

"Chill baby! its just a show...." Jungmin said hitting Hyungjun's head

"Yea..atleast Jandi and Junpyo ended up together...and Gaeul Yi Jung too" Kyujong said patting Hyungjun

"But what about Jihoo...did you hear he was infact planning to flunk just cause Jandi was--" Hyungjun cried in disbelief

"Jihoo always wanted to be with Jandi...like a Guardian angel." Youngsaeng said,thoughtfully. " I think he was the best and the greatest character. He understood he couldnt be with her but he ccepted that but didnt stray away from her like everyone else. He stayed with her always watching over her. He didnt didnt get his love but he didnt let it go either..."

"A.K.A LOSER" Hyunjoong mocked

Everyone dispersed thereafter but Youngsaeng didnt move. It seemed like he finally stumbled upon the answer he has been looking for ages. At this time,his phone suddenly vibrated in his pocket. He opened it to find a text from Hwangbo.

'I watched. It was beautiful. Congratulate Hyunjoong for me...he was excellent :-) '--Hwangbo

Youngsaeng leaned back on the couch and closed his eyes. "This is going to be difficult" he sighed

*END OF FLASHBACK*

Jungmin tugged at Youngsaeng's hand bringing him back from the past. Youngsaeng turned to him,in bewilderment. "Come on, Hyung" jungmin whispered

Youngsaeng nodded and steadily moved towards Hwangbo along with Jungmin. Hwangbo and Youngsaeng's eyes locked momentarily before Hwangbo looked away. Jungmin stride forward "Welcome back sunbaenim. How have you been"

"Tssk...I've been well mother-in-law." Hwangbo teased

"Wait....I want you to meet someone..." Jungmin rushed back to grab Seungyeon. Meanwhile Hwangbo's eyes went back to youngsaeng "Hi" she said

"Hi" Youngsaeng responded

It was just one word but an array of emotins seemed to be exchanged between the two. Hwangbo wanted to say more but just then Jungmin came back with Seungyeon "Hwangbo-sshi this is my girlfriend Seungyeon"

"Ah you're the one at the airport right?" Hwangbo face became serious

"Ah..de" Seungyeon nodded "Nice to meet you" she put her hand forward for a handshake

"So now you're his girlfriend.." Hwangbo squinted her eyes. "Well I hope...you'll treat him well" she grabbed her hand and shook it alittle too firmly.

None noticed the hostility in Hwangbo apart from Youngsaeng. He remembered the phone call he had with Hwangbo. Why was she here? Did she come to tear Jungmin and Seungyeon apart? From the look of things, it seemed to be the reason and if,truly,that was the case Youngsaeng determined in his head that he won let her succeed.

"So unnie where did you go off to all of a sudden?" Somin asked

"Umm..some urgent work came up" Hwangbo lied,stealthily glancing at Youngsaeng.

"I hope you'll remain in korea till our show..." Hyunjoong said

"Ofcourse Shillang! That's why i am back..." hwangbo's eyes slithered to Seungyeon standing next to jungmin "to make sure this event becomes a succes"
