I cannot believe the success we have had till now! we sure are lucky, all because of our fans.  I drive towards the WGM house.  To day i am filming the 11th episode of WGM with Na- eun.  She is so pretty that i smile every time i see her.

Everyone comments about how i do not really have many friends who are girls, unlike Jonghyun Hyung who always seems to be around girls.  But truth is, childhood love is very difficult to forget.  I closed my eyes for a moment.  "You can do it, Taemin" i cheered myself up and entered the WGM village.

Na-eun was already there, in the make-up room. I walked into mine and with the little time left, i decided to maximize on my sleep.  Recently the schedule has been hectic.  It is always fun with the Hyungs, but i have not really been sleeping well.

I lied on the makeshift couch and dozed off.

"I am happy that you got elected" she said teary eyed.  I knew this pained her.  It pained me too.

 Ji-Ara was not only my best friend, like a buddy, but she was the longest friend i have ever had.  We had been together since forever.

I know i have to change her mood.  "If i become a big star, i will buy you that boat you love so much!" i say and i saw her slow smile.

 Her dad had died at sea, only his boat had returned to the shore.  It now belongs to the company, and they refuse to give it to them.

 I could never understand why she was obsessed with that boat.  But my sentence had its desired effects.  She smiled.

"If you become a star, you will forget me” she said and I shook my head.  “I cannot forget my best friend”

She looked at me then.  And smiled, truly smiled from her heart and I felt a tug at my heart.  What the hell was that? Was I having heart problems?

“What happened?” she suddenly asked concerned.  “I think my heart pains a bit” I said and she frowned.  Then looked sad “Make sure you are healthy during your training days and even healthier when you become a star”

I smirked.  “So you think I will be a star?” I got up and did our little dance.  “Your turn” I said enthusiastically.  She made a face.  “You know I can’t”

I laughed and sat back down.  It was true.  She was the worse at dancing.  But I still liked to see her try.

I got a call from my mum at that time.  “Taeminnine, they are here” she said between sobs.

After hanging up I sighed.  “Was she crying?” Ji-Ara asked.  I nodded.  “Will you take care of her when I am gone?” I asked, finally realizing that I have to leave. 

“Of course, she will end up loving me more than you” she said cheekily and I pinched her.  She pinched me back and we started tickling each other again. 

She pinned me down on the grass and triumphantly said “Say Ji-Ara is the best in the world”

“No” I refused, as was the routine. She grabbed my arms harder.  “Say it”

Iwas always amazed at her strength.  I struggled but when she would not let go i relented.  “Ok, Ji-Ara is  the best in the world”  i said and she released me.

“I will get you one day Ji-Ara” I said with a dangerous gaze.  She was indeed the best friend anyone could ever wish for.  “We’ll see.” She said arrogantly and we both laughed.

“Taemin” Na-Eun slowly woke me up.  “It’s time for shooting” I opened my eyes and smiled.  Ji-Ara! I almost whispered then I realized it was Na-Eun. 

I jumped up in a daze and shook my head.  I dreamt of her after so long.  I thought to myself.  I shook my head and proceeded for shooting. 

During the whole shoot, I could not stop looking at Na-Eun.  She seemed, familiar.  I could not put my hands on what it was.

By the end of the week, we had finished filming our 11^th episode when it clicked.  It had been bothering me since I first met Na-Eun, but now it’s crystal clear.  The reason Na-Eun was so appealing was because she had Ji-Ara’s eyes.

The hyungs were in the living room, watching a new movie.  “Taemin-ah” key Omma said as soon as I got in. “Dinner is on the table.  But make sure you shower first” he said and I was startled.  He would always greet me when I came, what was up with them?

I walked to the living room and saw the movie.  “It’s a new scary movie” Jonghyun Hyung said.  “It’s a Hollywood blockbuster” and they all shushed him.  The male protagonist was approaching a ghost, whose back was to the camera.
