You run backstage, panting and breathless. You can not believe he--!

You look down at your chest, your s no longer concealed with bandages. You gulp down hard. Now everyone knows...

You slam your back against the corridor wall, tears beginning to stream down your face.

It's all over now.

Your career is over. 

There's no way on earth SM will keep you now. Everyone knows that you are a girl. 

That's it! There's nothing left for you!

You bite your lower lip in anger, trying to hold back the tears that haven't fallen yet as you wipe away the ones that have with the back of your hand. 

You lean your head back against the wall.

What was he thinking?!

You hear footsteps down the wall and you see Heechul walking towards you. Angered, you push yourself off the wall and slam your fist into his chest, shoving him against the wall. "WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" you cry out in pain. 

Heechul pushes you off him. "Jaehwa-ah," he says sternly, staring at you hard. "Don't blame this on me."

"What?!" you cry. "Do you not know what you just did?!" 

"네 [Ne]! I did it for both him and you! He asked me to, so I did!" he spits out, looking at you hard. He lets out a frusterated sigh. "Jaehwa-ah, don't screw this up. Listen to him first, before you do anything rash." With that, him simply walks away, leaving you there.

Still fuming with anger, you slump your back against the wall and slide down it until you reach the floor.

He? Who is he?

Heechul couldn't mean--

Could it be?

Did--

--Henry tell him to?

Henry?

You feel your body run cold at the thought. As the fury of the past few moments abates, you are left feeling lonely and betrayed. You pull up your legs to your chest, wrapping your arms around your legs as you do so.

How could he?

You hear the sound of feet pounding against the corridor floors.

"Jaehwa-ah!"

You look up and see Henry running towards you.

"Jaehwa-ah!"

You feel a lump gather in your throat as you are unsure how to react seeing him there. "H-h-hey." Your voice comes out in only a garbled mess, reflecting your emotions at the moment. You should stand, but you feel worn out over this whole thing, so you just stay there as Henry approaches.

"미안합니다 [Mianhamnida]!" he says, dropping down to your level. "I'm so, sorry. I know you must hate me so much right now. I just--" he breaks off, looking at you with a mixture of sadness and uncertainty. "--I didn't want you hurting yourself any more." His face colours a little. "The truth is, I like you, Jaehwa-ah."

He likes you?

You feel as if all your other emotions have flown away, as only one remains. A smile replaces the frown that was there just a few seconds before. "I like you too, Henry-ah."

He looks at you sadly. "I'm sorry though."

"Don't be," you reply. "I understand why you did it." You chuckle, "I would have done the same thing to you."

A smile slowly crosses his face. "Oh, you would, 누나 [nuna]?"

"네 [Ne], but don't call me 누나 [nuna] after I just admitted I like you."

Henry smirks at you. "왜 [Wae]? Because 누나 [nuna] is embarrassed that she likes someone younger than her?" He draws closer to you as you slowly drop your knees away from you and stretch them out in front of yourself. 

"아니 [Ani]," you scoff. "It's just weird now."

He draws still closer. "왜 [Wae]? Is 누나 [nuna] afraid that her first kiss will be from a 동생 [dongsaeng] instead of a 형 [hyung]?" He tries to smirk, but he ends up with a wide, cute smile with his eyes dancing in merriment.

You shake your head with a soft chuckle. "아니 [Ani]."

Henry's smile gets softer and the gap between the two of you begins to close as Henry draws all the more closer to you. Your eyes instinctively close as Henry's do and his lips meet yours in a soft and beautiful kiss. 

****

Later that night, he tells you that he did not think you could even care for him, until that one day when Taemin brought over the lie detector. He confesses that after you had went to bed and were talking with Amber on the phone that night, he snuck outside your door to eavesdrop on the conversation.

He then tells you how he confessed later to Suho over text that he thought you were more than just pretty the day of the bet and even let it slip out that he has feelings for you.

The news about your true identity circulates quickly, and you are put on hiatus as Super Junior continues their World Tour. SM doesn't know what to do with you. The fact that a girl is cross dressing in an all boy band is a scandal in itself. However, add the fact that she has been living in an all men's dorm... Well, that's an even bigger scandal on their hands.

Your father tries to explain things, but little can be done. You are put on hiatus until further notice. 

However, this does not prevent you from going to every Super Show on the tour, sneaking in as either a crew member or a member of the audience, your father, supporting you in this every time.

He is not the only one who supports you though. Your fans, your ever loyal Heart Breakers and Heart Throbs, rally to your aid as well, sending you encouraging comments and letters of support. 

****

As you sit in the audience during one of the shows, you feel your cell phone begin to vibrate in your pocket. You pull out your phone and notice that you have a text. It's from Henry.

Henry: Hey, can you meet me backstage?

You: 왜 [Wae]?

Henry: Just come, ok? Hurry!

Putting your cell phone in your pocket, your quickly and stealthly make it backstage, security letting you through. You make your way around the backstage area until you find Henry in the dressing room. "What's up, 형제 [hyungjae]?" you ask with a cheeky grin.

He smirks at you. "Not much, 누나 [nuna]."

You make a face at him, hating it when he calls you that.

"Actually," Henry says, rubbing the back of his neck. "I do need some help with something."

"네 [Ne]?"

"Amber's not feeling good. I need you to help me with this performance..." He trails off, looking at you expectantly.

"아니 [Ani]!" you say, shaking your head. "There's no way I can! I could be permanently removed from the group if I perform right now. Besides, there's no way I'm singing THAT song!"

"It's just the rap," insists Henry. "Besides, SM will just be happy that I found a replacement in time." He smiles, pleading with his eyes.

"Fine," you reply, shaking your head. "But if I'm fired, I'm taking you with me."

---

From the monitors, you watch as Henry plays the piano for a bit.

Why did you ever agree to this? You shake your head at yourself as Henry changes the tune and begins his song.

   "Oh Whoa
   Oh Whoa
   Oh Whoa

You know you love me, I know you care
Just shout whenever, and I'll be there
You are my love, you are my heart
And we will never, ever , ever be apart..."

You leave your spot backstage and head below the stage. As you walk to the designated area, your mind wanders to the past few months since he had Heechul expose you. Despite the busy schedules he has had with the rest of the members, he has made sure of your well-being. The day after he exposed you, he took you to the doctor to make sure that everything was alright with you after binding yourself so much. Needless to say, the pain and bruises you had been experiencing, came from your bruised ribs, which needed rest.Without schedules to contend with, you were able to heal, making sure to wear only the most comfortable of bras you owned. 

You smile, thinking about how every day, even when he was strained because of schedules, he would make sure that you were doing alright.

"Are we an item? Girl, quit playing
'We're just friends,' what are you saying
Said 'there's another', and looked right in my eyes
My first love broke my heart for the first time..."

As you step onto the platform that will take you up through the trap door of the stage, you smile, thinking of how many times you have watched your boyfriend perform this already. He always looks really cute when doing it, though you would never admit to him. You always love how Amber comes in at the end too. You smirk a little, thinking of how much Amber has over the past couple of months with the fact that he is dating "언니 [unnie]". 

"And I was like baby, baby, baby, oh
Like baby, baby, baby, oh
Like baby, baby, baby, oh
I thought you'd always be mine, mine..."

As you patiently wait for your cue, you begin to wonder what ELF and others would think about your relationship with Henry. Would they support it? If you are ever removed from hiatus, will you be met with more criticism just because he is only a year younger? You hope not.

"Baby, baby, baby, oh
Like baby, baby, baby, no
Like baby, baby, baby, oh
I thought you'd always be mine, mine..."

 You smile as you listen to his voice, imagining the choreography of the song that he is performing on stage. Your mind begins to wander to that first night when you arrived back to Korea. You grin, thinking about when you met him. How things have changed so much since then!

"For you, I would have done whatever
And I just can't believe we aren't together
And I want to play it cool, but I'm losing you
I'll buy you anything, I'll buy you diamond ring..."

"You know, 언니 [unnie], I think he will eventually do that," you hear a whisper from your side. 

You practically jump in surprise from her stirring you from your reverie.

"Do what?" you ask in a whisper.

"Buy you a diamond ring," she responds in a hushed voice, a cheeky grin on her face. "Of course, there might be a string attached." She winks.

"And I'm in pieces, baby fix me
And just shake me till you wake me from this bad dream
I'm going down, down, down, down
And I just can't believe my first love won't be around..."

You feel the colour rise in your cheeks slightly. "야 [Ya]! You shouldn't really say things like that, my 동생 [dongsaeng]." You change the subject. "야 [Ya], what are you doing down here anyway? I thought you weren't feeling well." You an eyebrow up, eyeing her knowingly.

"I'm not. How can I be feeling well when 언니 [unnie] is still on hiatus?" she continues in a hushed voice cheekily.

"And I'm like baby, baby, baby, oh
Like baby, baby, baby, no
Like baby, baby, baby, oh
I thought you'd always be mine, mine..."

Amber gives you a smile. "Well, have fun up there." She gives you a wink and
