June 6th, 2010

Kyuri wore her black jacket before she walks down the stairs to find Gikwang is waiting for her. Gikwang wears a glasses today along with white shirt. He is texting something with his iPhone.

"Sorry for waiting," Kyuri sounds uneasy. "I'm ready now."

Gikwang turns to face Kyuri. He puts his iPhone inside his pocket and offers her his hand, "Well, let's go now."

He walks Kyuri into his car. It's been a week since Yoseob announced that he's one of the finalists for the Art Festival at his university. After arguing with Junhyung and a little help of Gikwang plus Kyuri's aegyo, Junhyung decided that she can go to watch Yoseob's performance but Gikwang must go with her.

"I can go by myself, you know," Kyuri breaks the ice in the car. "Junhyung Oppa is just too protective. Is he always like that?"

Gikwang puts a sincere smile, "He loves you. That's why he's been so protective. You don't want me to come along with you, do you?"

"No," Kyuri immediately answers. "It's not like that. I just don't want to bother you!"

"Did I ever say that you bother me?" Gikwang tilts his head.

"You didn't," Kyuri bites her bottom lip. "It just looks like it. You're always busy."

His smile has disappeared; it's always the same. Even before her memories lost, Junhyung told him so many times that Kyuri never thought that he loves her at all. Works came in his way yet he does actually have a feeling towards Kyuri. Gikwang may not be someone who available 24/7 for Kyuri, but he does care about her.

He always arrange a free day at her birthday, each year. He always visit Kyuri at her house whenever he's back to Seoul, even though his schedule was a mess. He couldn't abandon his works but he wants to fulfill his promise; it's his mother's will, so he can marry Kyuri. It's nothing at the first time but the more Gikwang spend times with Kyuri, the more he falls in love with the girl.

"Gikwang Oppa?" Kyuri calls his name. His mind is wandering now. "Did I say something wrong?"

He shakes his head, "No. It's alright."

"You're here!" Yoseob runs to Kyuri and Gikwang.

Kyuri called him to meet them near the back gate of the school; it's not crowded and Gikwang was the one who suggested it. He don't want Kyuri to get lost in the middle of crowd.

"I'm the last one of 5 finalists! Make sure you watch me! Oh, make sure you hear me!" Yoseob grins.

"I will, I will," Kyuri loves the way Yoseob looks so happy. "Hwaiting, Yoseob Oppa ah~"

Yoseob looks at Gikwang and walks to him. He whispers something that Kyuri can't hear, "Take care of her."

Gikwang smirks, "You don't need to say that."

"What?" Kyuri is curious. "What are you talking about?"

"Nothing," Yoseob grins again. "I need to prepare now. See you Kyuri ah!"

Yoseob runs away to the preparation room; he hates to let Kyuri alone with Gikwang but he knows he can trust Gikwang to take care of Kyuri while he can't. He prepared everything for today; he wants Kyuri to watch him in his best state.

Kyuri sits at the first row, next to Gikwang; Gikwang asked it from the committee of Art Festival. They sit and clap for the finalists.

"And now, next one, the last one," the MC shouts, "Yang Yoseob!"

Kyuri claps her hand with excitement while Gikwang claps formally. Yoseob is entering the stage with black shirt and white bow tie; it's uncommon to see him in formal suit yet Kyuri likes the way he dresses.

"Annyeonghaseyo~ My name is Yang Yoseob. I'm going to sing this song for someone special in my life. Please do listen," Yoseob flashed a smile at Kyuri before he starts to sing.

"Noon ddeuneun soongan mal upshi ddeo oreun saram
Waenji geuge joaseo geunyang ooseotjyeo"

The one that appears in mind, without a word, the moment I open my eyes
For some reason I liked that, so I just laughed

"Babbeun haroo-eh gapjagi goonggeumhan saram
Jakkoo noon-eh barbhyeoseo shingihaetjyeo"

The one that I suddenly wonder about during a busy day
It was interesting how she kept haunting my thoughts

"(Geudaengayo) Nae an-eh joyonghage saneun han saram
(Geudaengayo) Geuge cham deundeunhan ddo han saram"

(Is it you?) The one person quietly living inside me
(Is it you?) Another person who’s truly dependable

"Saengakman haneundedo nae mam hanjjokeun
Haetsali naerideut ddaddeuthaejyeoyo"

Even just thinking about it, one side of my heart
Warms up, as if the sun is shining on it

"Cham akkigo itjyeo geu sarameul akkyeoyo
Geu sarami joaseo ama i goseseo tae-eo natnabwa
Neul saranghandan mal eonjena bogoshipdan mal
Geu mallon hangsang boojokhal mankeum geu sarameul akkyeoyo"

I truly cherish her, I cherish that person
Perhaps I was born here because I like that person
The words: I always love you, the words: I’m always missing you
As much as those words are always inadequate, I cherish that person

"Honjaitneun bam gapjagi bogoshipeul ddaen
Machi soomeul chamdeushi mami bukchajyeo"

The nights when I’m by myself, when I suddenly miss her
As if I’m holding my breath, my feelings are overwhelming

"Gireul geotdaga gwaenseureh geokjeongii dwaeseo
Bal georeumeul meomchoogo saengak haetjyeo"

As I walked along the streets, I became uselessly worried
I froze in my steps, absorbed in my thoughts.

"(Geudaengayo) Nae an-eh joyonghage saneun han saram
(Geudaengayo) Geuge cham deundeunhan ddo han saram"

(Is it you?) The one person quietly living inside me
(Is it you?) Another person who’s truly dependable

"Saengakman haneundedo nae mam hanjjokeun
Haetsali naerideut ddaddeuthaejyeoyo"

Even just thinking about it, one side of my heart
Warms up, as if the sun is shining on it

"Cham akkigo itjyeo geu sarameul akkyeoyo
Geu sarami joaseo ama i goseseo tae-eo natnabwa
Neul saranghandan mal eonjena bogoshipdan mal
Saranghagido mojaran naldeul"

I truly cherish her, I cherish that person
Perhaps I was born here because I like that person
The words: I always love you, the words: I’m always missing you
The days when I didn’t love her enough

"Cham akkigo itjyeo geu sarameul akkyeoyo
Saranghandaneun malloneun da halsoo upneun soojoonghamiijyeo
Geu saram gyeoteseo jamdeulgo ggaersoo itdamyeon
Nae modeungeol da sseodo dwaelmankeum
Geu sarameul akkyeoyo"

I truly cherish her, I truly cherish that person
How I value her, it can’t be capture completely by the words I love you
If I could fall asleep an wake up to that person
To the point that it’s fine even I were completely used up I cherish that person.
-- Cherish That Person, OST My Princess, by Yoseob "BEAST"

The audiences clap for him when he finishes. He smiles, satisfied with his performance. He looked at Kyuri and flashed another bright smile before he walks down the stage.

Gikwang looks at Kyuri. She is amused by Yoseob's performance; she couldn't take her eyes off of Yoseob. She feels like Yoseob sang from his deepest heart. Yoseob looked at Kyuri so many times that Kyuri thought that the song was dedicated for her.

Gikwang feels uneasy now.

Is it... jealousy?
