The Stood Up Pair
The Baddest Chick in the Game
Junsu’s POV
“I’m here already. Where are you?” I asked.
“My boss asked me for an over time…I’ll be late for two hours.”Junho answered.
“Two hours?!Why didn’t you tell me earlier?!”
“I was about to go out when he called me. Just wait for me there. I’ll come as fast as I can.”
“You’ll have me wait for two hours here? Do you know who I am?” I asked with the fake
irritation on my voice.
“I know you, rascal! If you keep complaining..I won’t come out.” he joked back. I smiled
and with a lighter tone I said.
“I’ll just wait…so make it fast ok?”
“Ok.”
I pressed the end button and put back my phone into my pocket. I’ll just wait here for the
meantime.
“Sir, do you want to order something?” the waiter asked.
“I think, I’ll be hanging out for a longer time..my brother will be late..” I said.
“No problem with that sir…we’re really glad to have a famous idol like you to visit our
place.” He said.
“Thanks. Then I’ll just have a fresh fruit smoothie for now.”
“Yes.” I bowed before leaving for my order.
I leaned my back on the seat and looked around.
“How did he know about this place?” I whispered to myself.
My twin brother Kim Junho asked me to meet on this restaurant. The ambiance is warm and
private. It’s great that customers are not that much. I can enjoy without anyone bothering me. My
eyes linger downstairs. I was sitting at the table besides the railing so I have a good sight of the
dining area on their first floor. I could only see five occupied table there. One with a family of four,
one with a couple I think, one with a man in suite who’s busy talking over his phone, one with an
old couple, and the other one is next to the window…with a girl on it. I couldn’t help but observe
her. She’s wearing a beautiful dress and her long, wavy bronze-colored hair is pleasingly tied. I
wonder if she’s waiting for her boyfriend. I saw her look at her phone and sigh.
I was a bit distracted when the waiter came and puts down my drink.
“Is there, anything else, sir?” he asked.
“I just want to ask…is she waiting there for long?”
“Who?”
I pointed the girl downstairs.
“Ah…that customer..I think, she’s been there for an hour now..”
I nodded.
“She hasn’t eaten yet too…she said she’s waiting for someone..” he added.
“Would you please give her a juice? I’ll pay for it. Just don’t tell her.” I said.
I watched as the waiter serves her the drink. Surprise is on her face. They talked for a moment;
probably the waiter told her that the juice is on the house. After a few minutes, she sips the juice
but still the look on her face didn’t change. I found myself going down the stairs heading to her
direction.
“Hello.” I greeted. She looked up to me. She looks even more beautiful nearer.
“Did Hee Jun Oppa sent you?” she asked.
Hee Jun? Who’s that? Ah…the guy she’s waiting for.
“A..n.niyo..”
“Huh?” her face turned into a wondering look.
Can’t she tell who I am?
“Ahm…I saw you and ahm..” I put my hand at the back of my neck.
She was looking at me but I can’t answer. What am I doing here anyway?
“I am waiting for my date.” She directly said.
I stepped back and sit a few tables away. I hit my head.
“What do you think you’re doing? She obviously has a boyfriend..” I said to myself.
An hour passed but nobody came. I saw her looking at the window and secretly wiping something
from her eyes. Are those….she’s crying?

****POV
I’ve been waiting for an hour now but still, he’s not here…What happened? I wonder. Is it the
traffic or something happened? I shook the second one from my thoughts. I looked at my phone
but no messages or calls. It’s impossible that he forgot about it right? I clearly told him last night
that I’ll be waiting for him in this restaurant. Hee Jun Oppa…I’ve been in love with him for four
years and finally, last night I gather all my confidence and swallow my pride…I confess my feelings
for him.
“Hee Jun Oppa...what am I to you?”
He seems to be surprised but still, he managed to smile.
“You are my best friend's little cousin...so for me, you're like a dongsaeng too..”
I swallowed hard for it's not the answer I was praying for.
“To be your dongsaeng is not what I want...I want to be Oppa's woman...because
I...I...like...you..”
His eyes became wide.
“****ah...”
“Ne...this is my confession to you...but don't worry, I won't be asking an answer from you
now...I'll give you a day to think about it...Tomorrow evening, 8 pm on your favorite
restaurant...I'll be waiting for you...”
“What is this? I didn't order for this..” I said looking at the juice that the waiter serves at
my table.
“Don't worry about it ma'am...it's on the house.” The waiter left.
After a while, I decided to take a sip since I feel a bit thirsty.
“Hello.” A man suddenly approached me. I looked at his face.
“Did Hee Jun Oppa sent you?” I asked.
“A..n.niyo..”
“Huh?” I tried to look at the door but I couldn't see even a single shadow.
“Ahm…I saw you and ahm..” he said with his hand at the back of his neck. That gesture
makes him look like a shy little boy.
“I am waiting for my date.” I said to make him go away. It wouldn't be good if Hee Jun
Oppa comes and see me talking to a guy.
The man left me. I waited and waited until another hour passed. I look down at my hands on my
lap. I could no longer control my tears. I look outside the window to wipe them. I know it....I know
his answer now. He couldn't say it personally so he preferred to stood me up...I'm rejected by the
first person I ever confessed with.
“Hello again.”
I stopped when I see the same man who approached me earlier. He's now sitting across from me.
“Forgive me for being rude but I don't mean any harm. I just noticed that you've been
alone for a few hours now. It's not that I've been watching you...I only happened to notice that's
all...” he said with his hand made a wave gesture in front of me.
“You see...the person that I've been waiting for hadn't come yet and I think, it's the same
for you.”
I blinked my eyes.
“It won't be a good thing to leave this restaurant without eating nor to eat alone after the
long wait right? So if it's just okay with you...let's have dinner together instead..” he said.
Eating is the least thing that I would like to do now but he has a point. I would feel bad either way.
I nodded as a response of agreeing. A big smile drawn to his face.
“Chincha?! That's a relief...I thought that you'll be saying no..”
After a few minutes, we had been served with the foods that he ordered.
“I am so hungry so I won't be waiting for that person to come...I decided to eat.” He said
with a smile.
“So your date...stood you up as well?” I asked.
He stopped chewing for a while.
“Huh? Ahm....let's just take it like that...” and he smile.
“It's funny but...it's the same for me.” I said.
“Ahm...maybe your boyfriend has a good reason for not coming..”
“Anniyo...he's not my boyfriend...and since he stood me up tonight, I think..he doesn't
want to be.”
He just stares at me.
“Don't think too much...let's just enjoy this great meal in front of us okay?” he says
brightly.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________
Dinner is over so we decided to take a walk after.
“Thank you for the meal.” I said because he didn't let me pay a single penny for the food.
“Don't mention it. I am thankful that you ate with me.” he said.
“I am more thankful. I got rejected by the person I confessed with but thanks to you, I
still had my pride saved for not leaving that place by myself.” I said.
We stopped.
“It was the first time that I made a confession. It was hard for me but I took the risk...at
least, I know the answer now so I won't be waiting anymore..” Again, my tears started to fall to
my cheeks.
Then his hand rises to wipe away my tears. Our eyes met for a few seconds.
“Don't cry...” he said.
I managed to smile.
“Mianhe...I was just thinking about myself...you had been stood up too so it must be
difficult for you as well..”
“Huh...?” he blinked his eyes.
“How should I show my gratitude? Hmm...ah!”
I bring out my phone from my bag and took out my favorite key chain from it. It is a small
ballerina silhouette made from stainless steel. I hand it over.
“Please take this as a symbol of my gratitude.”
“You are giving this to me?”
I nodded.
“Okay...I'll take care of it. Can you lend me your phone?” he said.
I give it to him.
I stare at him as he sang. He looks dashing and his voice is really good. When he's done, he gives it
back.
“You are so beautiful.” he said while looking to my eyes.
“Huh?”
“Ah....the title of the song...You are so beautiful.” he answered.
“Ah...” I answered feeling a bit awkward.
He walked me towards the place where I could take a taxi but as we wait, an ajumma came near
us. She has some roses with her.
“Young man, maybe you'd like to buy your pretty girlfriend some roses?” she said to him.
He looked at me.
“A-a-nni-yo...It's okay..” I said.
But he turned to her and said.
“Ajumma, please give me the prettiest bunch.”
After he bought, he gave me the bouquet of red and white roses.
“Uh..”
“Just accept them.” he said so I took the flowers from him.
“Kamsahamnida.” I slightly bowed at him in which he smiles.
A taxi stop in front of us and he opened the door for me.
“By the way, my name is Kim Junsu...” he said.
“I'm In Hae Won...” I said before riding the taxi. He waved his hand which I also did.
I looked back at him and see him still looking at the taxi where I am. When I got away, I turned to
the flowers in my hand and smell them.
“Kim Junsu...” I whispered and a smile curved in my lips.

Junsu's POV
The taxi disappeared from my sight.
“In Hae Won.” I smile as I recite her name.
My phone rang.
“Yoboseyo?”
“Did you leave? I'm here in the restaurant.” My twin brother Junho said.
“Nope. I'll be there in five minutes.” I answered and headed back to the restaurant.

[Autor's Note]:
Hello there! This is the Junsu's part!
I also included the same thing from "Scent of a Woman" in which he recorded his voice in the woman's phone. It is Junsu's way of introducing himself as a singer in which he think the woman is not aware of.
What do you think of this chap? Comment pls. THANKS!
