“Gosh! You are so…BEAUTIFUL BO MI!”So Ra was mesmerize by her beautiness.

“It’s nothing unnie!”

The hair stylist dyed her hair with red scarlet, straighten her hair and done some braided at left side of her hair. The make up was very outstanding and a little bit extravagant in Bo Mi opinion but she had no word for Yuka masterpiece. The dress was very elegant but cute.

“Bo Mi Bo Mi look here! Say cheese!”So Ra took a few picture of her by using her phone and Bo Mi’s camera.

“Should I post it in your Twitter or Instagram so that your fan will see how beautiful you are! Aww Bo Mi why I the one who excited here? You must be really nervous right?”

So Ra took her hand in her grip and she can feel the coldness of her hand. She must be really scared that time. Worrying she might spoilt the show since she still a newbie among all of the model there.

“Bo Mi it’s okey! Unnie will do fighting out there okey? Just do your very best. You know what? When I go outside there, I found so many famous designer. Who knows they might love you in first sight and offered you to be their model next time? Wahhh and then we could go many places after that! New York? Who know right Bo Mi!” say So Ra enthusiastically.

“You are no help at all unnie! You make more nervous! Not reducing even 1%!”she frowned. Sometimes she check her phone in her bag, hoping that Tao will send her a support message before the event started. But still there was nothing. She grasping her necklace tightly like it will give her strength.

“10 minutes more!”one of the crew alerted all the model and the stylist. The situation at the back stage become more hectic because there were still model who didn’t prepared yet. Some was still searching for shoes and there were some who need to do re-makeup . But then one of the stylist worked there come approached Bo Mi, bringing some jewelry for her.

“Miss Bo Mi, could you take off your necklace for a moment? Because I have prepared the suitable accessories that suit your dress the best. I hoped you will understand.”

“Really? Then just give me a minute!”

She turned her head to So Ra and asked her to take off the necklace for her. She take a look at the necklace for the last time and put it away into her bag. Then, the stylist started to wear all the accessories to her.

“Umm Bo Mi I should go now…it already chaos here. Should I hold on your bag first?”

“Ahhh about that….just leave it here. I still…waiting….”she shuttering when she was talking and it gave an immediate sign to So Ra. When it’s come about Tao, this will happened frequently to her.

“Alright alright I got it! So I see you out there then! I will take every movement of you when you walked on the stage later!”

Before she walked out from there, So Ra turned to her for the last time and shouted ‘fighting’ to her.

“Miss Yoon Bo Mi you are up next! Please get in line!”say the manager.

Bo Mi just nodded and she took out her phone for another time. Still there were no message received.

“I bet he was busy.”

She then make her way beside the stairs that lead to the stage and get in line waiting for her turns. Her heart beating like crazy and she take a deep breath to calm herself.

“Yoon Bo Mi you can do it! Time will fly really quickly that you won’t realize it already over! Fighting!”

The fashion show went very smoothly and successful. It surprised Bo Mi very much to see so many reporter from the fashion magazine and the flash light from hundred of camera there making the butterfly in her stomach couldn’t stay still anymore. She walked just like what she had learned from Yuka and the expression shown on her face when she walked on the stage covered all the truth feeling in her heart. Indeed she was a very great actress. Faking was really her profession.

After the show wrapped up, most of the model there congratulate her for her amazing performance. And So Ra as soon as she found Bo Mi at the backstage, she even ran to her and hugged her really tightly that could choked her to death. Saying she was proud of Bo Mi like she was her mother. Yuka too come to her and gave some compliment.

“Guess I didn’t make a false decision. You are awesome up there Bo Mi and I wanted to say thank you because you are willingly to become my model even though I know someone forced you to do so.”say Yuka gratefully.

“Ahh it’s nothing! It’s your dress that are awesome..not me. And I too want to thank you because choosing me.”

Yuka just nodded and give a broad smiled.

“Your flight will be earlier right? You should changed the clothe now before you become worse missing the flight.”

She gave a hug and left her in changing room. After Bo Mi had done removing the makeup and change her clothe, she took her bag and started to search for her necklace. But then her face become paler and her happy emotions vanished. She get up immediately and search around her, thought that it might drop somewhere around there.

“Unnie, did you see my necklace?”she asked So Ra.

“Necklace? Didn’t you put it away into your bag? Search in it again. Maybe you just missed it.”

She searched it again but it was useless. The necklace no longer in her bag. She just shook her head to So Ra. She already become afraid and there was a pool of tears in her eyes.

“Calm down Bo Mi. It might be somewhere around here. You just stayed here, I’ll go asked around. Maybe the other crew have seen it.”

So Ra then leaved the room and started to ask around. Some of the crew too helped her out to searching for it.

“What should I do now? Tao will be really mad at me if he knew this.”she clenched her hand, her heart hoping that So Ra will find it. After half an hour later, So Ra came back into the room. When Bo Mi look at her, she just shook. Her heart felt it already crushed. Nothing left.

“Unnie..what should I do now?”her head blank.

“Why don’t we just duplicate it when we arrived in Seoul? There were some shop that can duplicate the real one. But…”

“But?”

“That thing really expensive..so it will take lot of time.”

“How much longer unnie? I don’t care how much I need to pay as long as Tao didn’t know about this.”

Awkwardly So Ra just smiled at her and show ‘one’ by using her finger.

“A week?”

“Nope. A month…I think..or longer than that.”

A month?! By that time Bo Mi will no longer can make up story to Tao. He not that stupid not realizing about it for a month. Even a week will make him become suspicious at her lying word.

“A month unnie?! That won’t do! Let’s find it again!”

“Wowowo hold it Bo Mi. We got no time to search for it again. We might waste our time here and missed our precious flight. It was Christmas tomorrow! Of course all the ticket will sold out!”

What So Ra told her was true. She might trapped in Paris more longer there if she missed the flight now. People was already busy with Christmas preparation. Want it or not, she got no other choice but to wait for the ‘fake’ one.

“Shall we go now Bo Mi? I know it was very precious to you..but the situation here didn’t helped you. I will keep my mouth shut from him. This is the secret between us.”

“I got it unnie. Let’s go now.”

It was snowing heavily in Seoul when Bo Mi and So Ra arrived there. So Ra took a cab after that because she will head to her hometown while Bo Mi will ride alone in the company van. On the way to her apartment, she was deep in thought. Thinking what she need to answer to Tao if he ever asked about the necklace. She blow air on the window producing white cloud on the window and she wrote Tao named on it.People was happily smiling out there to celebrate Christmas tonight but not here who will celebrate it alone tonight.

Without she realized, she already arrived in front of her apartment building.

“Bo Mi-ssi, we have arrived.” The driver told her.

When she looked at her driver faced, she noticed the scar on his forehead. He was too involved in the same accident as her. Bo Mi was glad that he make it alive. After that accident, he even kneeling down in front of Bo Mi, asking for her to forgive him. But Bo Mi never blamed on him. It was her who insisted that day.

“Ahjusshi, shouldn’t you do something about your scar?”

“Ah about that..it nothing Bo Mi-ssi.”

“Before I forget..here is your present”Bo Mi took out a small bag in her luggage and handed it to him.

“Thank you very much Bo Mi-ssi. Why don’t you join my family feast tonight? It not very luxurious like the one you usually attend.”

“I like to but no thanks. You should have fun with your family. My presence there will just disturbing you. You should get going now.”

“If you said so miss. Let me take your luggage to your house then. At least there is something that I can helped you.”

Bo Mi just nodded and they walked together up to her house. But as soon as she arrived there, there was one box right in front of the door.

“Bo Mi-ssi where should I placed your luggage?”

“Ahjusshi, just put it right here. I can take care of it from here. Thank you.”

The driver slightly bow at her and take his leave. Bo Mi opened the door and took in her luggage and the packaging. She read the card that placed on it and smiled when know who sent it to her.

“Dear Bo Mi,

   When I went to your house, it seem you didn’t arrived yet. This is my gift for you. Don’t be too stingy and shared it with Tao, you got it?! Merry Christmas!

From your cutest friend, Xi Lu han.”

Carefully Bo Mi opened it and found a small sized of round white cake. There were some deer and Santa Clause on it. So childish of him. Bo Mi used her phone to check when Tao’s concert will end.

“It’s should be ended by now.”

She then searched for someone named in her contact list and pressed the call button.

“Jeong Min oppa! It’s me Yoon Bo Mi!”

In front of Tao house…

“Is Jeong Min really gave an exact address? This can’t be his house right?”

Bo Mi in disbelief with what she saw with her eyes. The house in front of her was really huge with large window around it. She looked around the house and found a very wide field and a pool behind his house.

“This house should lived with 6-7 person. Not just a single bachelor like him! This man is really insane!”she say in hushed voice like a thief.

As she was mumbling by herself, she didn’t noticed that there was a man standing just behind her back, looking at her staring around there.

“Ahhh! Who are you?! Let me go!”Bo Mi started to scream as she felt that someone hugged her from behind and closed with his hand. She trashing there to make herself free.

“It’s me you thief.”

“Tao?”

Tao then released her and gave out a sighed.

“How did you know my address?”

“Someone I trust told me so.”

“Jeong Min hyung?”

She got caught! It was supposed to be secret between her and Jeong Min. it was hard for Bo Mi to persuade him to tell her his address.

“It’s not his fault. Don’t blamed at him. I’m the one who forced him to do so.”

“I know. I was just beside him when you called.”Tao giggling. Bo Mi was being lied by him again.

“Yah! I’m cold here! Don’t you want to invite me in?”

“Hurmm that very brave of you. It’s just me who lived here. Wont you afraid something will happened to you?”he whispered right to her ear.

Calmly Bo Mi turned around and just smiled at him. She walked nearer and nearer to him, but Tao was afraid with her action making him to go backward.

“Should I do something with you?”she making a foxface like she was going to eat him up. Tao just feel eerie around her.

“Let let’s just go inside now!”quickly Tao walked away from her.

“Yah! Wait for me Huang Zi Tao! Did you that afraid of me?”

“What a large house you have here.”Bo Mi look around the interior design while sipping some tea.

“It’s my mom who insisted to buy me a house. Thanks for the gift anyway.”

“No problem. The cake was from Lu Han and the watch was from me. It’s not that branded. If you didn’t want to wear it then just let it be in the box.”

“I’m not that materialistic Yoon Bo Mi. I have a gift for you too. You must like him.”

“Him?”

“Snow! December! Come here baby!”he shouted.

After a few minute, there was two cat running toward him. One was really white and the other one was pitch black. Both of it has a very thick fur. Seeing both of it already making her laughing, seeing how cute there are running together.

“You like it?”

“Yes!”she couldn’t take off her eyes from the black cat. It had a very clear blue eyes and it kept staring her too.

“Do you like her December? Wahh you really have an eyes for a pretty lady like her. No wonder Snow hate you, you little playboy.”

December just ignored his owner and brushing his fur at Bo Mi leg, making she really ticklish with him. She placed him on her lap and him gently.

“December was  a male. I want to give him to you, so you won’t be too lonely whenever So Ra not around. Snow was my girlfriend. She really liked to jump on my bed and slept with me. I hope you didn’t mind it. I like you the most.”

“Did I need to be jealousy over a cat? Don’t make me laugh! Anyway thanks for your unbelievable gift.”

“You’re most welcome. Take care of him really good. He didn’t picky about food like Snow. So don’t worry.”

Bo Mi just smiled widely. But then Tao realized something strange about her.

“Why you didn’t take off your muffler?”

“That that..i have a sore throat so I just want to warm it.”she turned her face away, afraid Tao will noticed that she didn’t wore his necklace. sometimes she took a peek at him, checking if he was still suspicious at her.

“There was something on your hair Tao.”

She tried to reach it but out of sudden Tao grab her hand, stopping her from touching his hair.

“Yah I just want to take it away from your hair!”she pushed his hand away and quickly get the thing out from his hair. She could feel the heat around him. Quickly she put her hand on his forehead and stared at him deeply.

“You are burning Huang Zi Tao! Did you..actually..have a cold?”
