SIWON:

"Oppa, you ready for later?" my sister Jiwon happily caught my attention 

"I think so" I smiled "I'm nervous though"

"Waeyo??" she asked surprisingly "You've been waiting for this moment for six months,oppa! You shouldn't feel nervous" she smiled and comforted me "I'm pretty sure our parents will like her" she cheered on

"I know they will like her, okay" I assured "That's not what I'm nervous about" I added looking at myself in the mirror

"What then?" Jiwon leaned in my shoulders

I looked at my sister and showed her the box of necklace I was keeping for Anna

"Omo" she smiled and held the box "This is gorgeous!" she added and looked at me excitingly "Are you asking her tonight??" she asked

I only nodded and placed my index finger in my lips "Keep it down" I warned

She winked and kept giggling 

"What are you guys giggling about?" My mom went in my room and smiled "Is this about what I think it is?" she asked

"I don't know anything" Jiwon smiled and looked at me "I think you should ask this guy directly" she laughed and walked out of my room

"What was that all about?" Mom laughed and stood in front of me

"Mom, be nice to Anna okay? I really really like this girl" I pleaded

"Ya, since when did I become the evil mother??" she slapped my arms jokingly "You know well I've always been welcoming to Stella even though I knew from the very start that you guys won't last" she reminded me

"Aigoo, there you go again" I warned and closed my eyes while smiling

"Arasso, arasso!" she laughed "I'll be nice" she promised

"Thanks mom" I hugged her tight "Your seal of approval matters to me a lot" I added

"You better make it official soon, son" she reminded "It's so hard to go out and about an undefined relationship. One way or another, you guys will end up confusing and hurting each other" she smiled and fixed my collar

"Arayo, omma" I held her hands and assured her

A gentle knock came in from my dad's assistant

"Young master, Miss Anna just arrived" he announced 

"Oh, alright! Will be down in a bit" I said smiling "Thank you" I added

"Omma, wanna come with me?" I invited her

"Ani, say hello to your guest first and show her around" she smiled "I will meet both of you with your father" she added

"Okay" I smiled and kissed her "I'll go ahead" 

"Fighting" mom teased as we both laughed

ANNA:

"Hey, Anna! Over here" Kangin oppa greeted from the lobby

"Hey oppa, you're here too!" I greeted him, Leeteuk oppa and Zhoumi

"Yes, we usually celebrate Lunar New year together" Leeteuk oppa smiled "Siwon's family made it a tradition for all the members and families to grather" he added

"That's so heartwarming" I smiled "How I wish my mom was here" I added

"What happened??" Kangin oppa asked

"She got an urgent call from the Paris office. Since fashion week is coming, mom had to make sure everything's fine back there" I sighed 

"Aigoo, Auntie must be really sad to not spend New Years with you" Zhoumi consoled me

"Yup, it's our first New Years apart" I added 

"It's okay, you have us" Leeteuk oppa smiled and hugged me

"Aww, thanks oppa" I hugged back

"Ya, let's take a photo together" Kangin oppa cheered

"Leggo" I smiled cheerfully 

"Arasso! Hana.....Deul....Set"

"Aigoo, why am I not in that photo" Siwon suddenly appeared from the elevator lobby

"Sorry, you're too slow" Leeteuk oppa teased emphasizing on the SLOW word

"Yup, if you continue being slow you will always end up being last" Kangin oppa teased some more

"YA!!" Siwon complained and we all laughed

"Hi" I walked beside him and gave him a quick hug "Happy Lunar New Year" I smiled

"Hey" he calmed down and smiled back "Happy New Year to you too" he added "You look beautiful" 

"Shut up" I laughed and tried to break off from his glue like gaze

Siwon's extra authoritative today, he's been holding my hand, guiding me the way placing his arms around me. I've been in Seoul for 2 months now and we've been pretty much seeing each other whenever we get the chance to. It was hard at first, the whole dating late at night or finding exclusive places, but I got by eventually and enjoyed it. It made me see a lot of places, travel around seoul, and even get closer to Siwon and his friends. Dara unnie and Donghae has been very much supportive and helpful, they pretty much orchestrate our dates and make sure we won't get caught. 

"You ready to meet them?" he smiled at me and made me face him

"Yup, I'm actually excited" I declared

"You're not scared?" he asked

"Nope" I smiled "Whatever they see is me. I don't like acting out a role I've never actually been" I added

"And this is why I like you" he placed his hand in my cheek

"Ya, there are people around" I smiled and held his hand out of my face

"So?" he laughed

"We might get photographed, you will get in trouble" I reminded him

"Unnie!!" Jiwon appeared skipping her way to us

"Hey, beautiful!" I smiled and hugged her

"Look who's talking!" she hugged back "We'll be your family for tonight, arasso?" she asked cutely

"Neh" I smiled and held her hand

"I'll go say hi to Donghae oppa and Dara unnie" she smiled at me and Siwon as if signalling him to do something

"Arasso" Siwon winked and smiled back

"What was that?" I asked curiously "Are you guys scheming out something??" I added

"Ah nothing, you know her, she's weird" he laughed awkwardly

"It's genetic" I teased as we both laughed

"Let's say hello to my parents?" he asked

"Yes! Let's" I smiled excited

"You know, none of the girls I dated were this excited to meet my parents" he laughed

"You only dated one, what are you talking about" I teased

"Ya!" he complained "I tried dating other girls too, you know" 

"Arasso, arasso" I laughed "Let's go meet the parentals" I smiled at him and placed my arms around his

"Omma, Apa" Siwon greeted as we walked towards their table

"Goodevening" I smiled and bowed "I'm Anna Baek" I added and politely offered my hand for a handshake

Siwon's dad was the first one to stand and gave me a warm smile as he reached for my hand

"I heard so many things about you" he smiled "It's nice to finally put a face to the name we always hear" he added

I smiled and felt my cheeks flushed

"Hello my dear" Siwon's mom held my hand and motioned me closer to her and gave me a gentle hug

"It's a pleasure to finally meet you, Mrs. Choi" I smiled and gently squeezed her hand

"You're very pretty, dear" she added "Sit down" she smiled and offered the seat beside her

Siwon led me to my chair before he sat down. A motion which made his parents smile

"So, Anna." Mr. Choi smiled "You're a film maker?" he asked

"Yes, a film major. But more into screenwriting. I'm still starting since I just graduated last year so I'm pretty much considered to be inexperienced" I laughed shyly

"But we heard you got your first Cannes award while you were still a student" Mrs. Choi smiled "I think that's exceptional" she cheered

"She's on her way to her second" Siwon declared and winked at me as he sipped on his wine glass

"Too early to tell" I held his arm 

"You shot in 5 countries recently?" Mr. Choi asked "What did you film about?" he added

"Spiritual Nomads" I answered as both of Siwon's parents leaned closer in interest "We wanted to show how young people now focus more on building up their careers, focus on their wants, and forget the most important thing : their Spirituality and relationship with God" I added

"Wow" Mrs. Choi smiled "That's pretty interesting and quite a delicate topic" she added

"Yes, very. It was a struggle to draw the line and not make it seem like the film is judgemental. It actually is supposed to wake people up and assess their lives" I explained "Oh, I'm sorry. I'm talkative aren't I?" I laughed and everyone in t
