"The way you understand a story may be totally different from the way I understand something."

Sulli slipped her fingers into Minho's, they molded perfectly as one.

At that moment, they knew it was love.

They knew they were meant to be, and all they needed was each other.

Minho glanced down at the pale girl, giving her a soft smile while he caressed her hand in his. "You're beautiful Jinri."

Sulli blushed, biting on her bottom lip; "I'm not even wearing makeup today oppa."

He held her chin, lifting it up so their eyes would meet each other's again.

"You don't need makeup. You never have." Minho said to her sincerely, "All your beauty is natural; inside and out."

She couldn't help but blush some more, how did she ever get so lucky to be with a guy like Minho? Even Sulli couldn't answer that question.

"I love you, Minho." Sulli said to him, looking deeply into his eyes.

He let go of her hand, holding her small face with his tan hands.

"Promise you'll never leave me again, love." Minho looked at her, only hoping he'd get the perfect response.

Without saying a word, Sulli got on her tiptoes and kissed his lips; softly, but romantically. And then pulled away after a couple seconds, still holding his shoulders.

Minho smiled at her, "I love you, Sulli."

Jin Hyuk flipped through more pages of Krystal's writing, absolutely amazed after every turn.

He set down the story, looking at Krystal with his hands folding over one another on his desk; "You're 19, but honestly one of the most talented writers I have ever gotten to see."

Krystal bowed her head, smiling, "I truly appreciate that. Especially coming from such a brilliant director such as you."

"Oh no, no, no." Jin Hyuk shook his head, "I'm the one who's honored to be with you today." he replied, "You have such potential, and I can see you taking this to your advantage." He coughed to the side, looking at her again, "You did mention that Jessica of SNSD is your sister right?"

She nodded her head, "Full blood and everything." Krystal smiled, "She's the best sister anyone could ever ask for."

Jin Hyuk smiled back at her, "That's really nice to hear." He sighed, looking up at the time; " I called in Minho and Sulli for their interviews with you today in about 2 hours. So while we're waiting, would you mind speaking about where you got your inspiration from for this story?"

Krystal leaned back in her chair, thinking in her head, but finally replied. "I'm inspired by love." She answered, "I may be young, but I've had relationships; two which thankfully ended off on a good note." She said, "But I've also had friends and family members who've been through many problems." Krystal giggled, thinking again, "And this may sound funny, but I am a huge fan of SHINee. I've been to various concerts and I've met the members twice. When To the Beautiful You came out, I saw the chemistry between Minho and Sulli, and I knew they'd be the best pick to write a story about. Especially since it's about young love, learning about life, and just how careless and amazing it is to be this age."

Jin Hyuk listened to her speak, completely pleased with her answer, "You seem to be so mature for your age." he smiled, "But back to what you were saying, you said you were a fan of SHINee? Is there a reason Minho's drama stuck out to you most?"

Krystal lightly blushed, forcing a laugh. "What can I say, a girl has her bias."

"You're an amusing girl Jung Soojung." Jin Hyuk pointed at her, "I know it'll be a pleasure working with you and the cast. They're all such kind and respectful artists."

She nodded her head, "My sister always tells me that SM artists are are very kind, and she has absolutely no problem working with any of them."

Jin Hyuk sat at his desk, waiting for Minho and Sulli to show up for their pre-shoot interviews.

"Have you been waiting long?" Minho's head peaked through the door, surprising Jin Hyuk; almost jumping out of his seat.

"Yah Minho." Jin Hyuk stood up, shaking his head, "You really want me to die at a young age, don't you?"

"You've surpassed young age awhile ago.."

Jin Hyuk glared at him, looking past Minho and Sulli's shoulders, "Kim Jonghyun, what are you doing here?"

Sulli laughed, pulling Jonghyun in front of them so that him and Jin Hyuk could speak.

Jonghyun pouted his lips, "I didn't have any schedules for today, Taemin and Key are out filming We Got Married, Onew is recording his OST, and I just didn't want to be alone. Please let me stay, please." he batted his eyes, trying to get him to give in.

Jin Hyuk sighed heavily, waving his hand, "Fine, fine. But you better not cause any ruckus, I know you Jonghyun."

Jonghyun smiled widely, just like a little school boy. He gave him a 90 degree bow and nodded his head, "Yes sir." he saluted.

Minho and Sulli stayed put, holding hands.

"Where is she?" Minho asked, referring to the author of the fanfic they were portraying.

"She actually just went to that room down the hall because she had a call. I'm sure that one of you can go in and speak to her now to meet her." Jin Hyuk replied, "She's going to be really easy and nice to work with; trust me."

Minho looked down at Sulli, "You wanna go see her first? I wanna talk to Jin Hyuk for a little bit first."

Sulli smiled at him, leaning up to kiss his lips. She tapped his chest, "I'll be back in a bit."

With that being said, she went to go talk to Krystal.

---

Sulli knocked on the door, waiting for someone to answer.

"Come in." Krystal answered, not getting up from her seat.

Sulli opened the door, closing it before she could see what Krystal looked like. She then turned around, completely caught off guard.

"A-are you Jung Soojung?" Sulli asked, bowing beforehand.

Krystal smiled at her, standing up. She held out a hand in respect, "Yes, but please just call me Krystal."

They shook hands, and Krystal spoke up again; "I'm also one year younger, so you don't need to use honorifics with me. Take a seat." Krystal sat back down, pointing down at the seat in front of her.

Sulli sat down, feeling automatically threatened. I was expecting a woman in her 30's, not someone who hasn't even reached the age of 20. "You're a lot younger than what I thought you'd be. No offense."

"It's fine." Krystal laughed, "I assume Jin Hyuk hasn't spoken anything about me?"

Sulli shook her head, "The only thing Minho and I know, is that you're the author of this story." she replied, "Which by the way, I read already. It's such a well written story, and I'm really happy that you're getting acknowledged for this."

Krystal touched her chest in awe, "Thank you." She smiled wider, "It's a pleasure to be working with you and Minho as well, you guys are definitely my OTP."

Sulli laughed, Maybe she isn't that bad. "Are there any specific questions you'd like to ask me?"

Krystal her lips, going through a packet in her hands, "I guess it'll be good if you and I go straight to business eh?" She laughed again, "Are you willing to cut your hair for this role?"

"Of course." Sulli nodded her head, her legs crossed and her hands on her lap, "I did it for To the Beautiful You, and I'm willing to do it all over again. Since the character I play does have cancer, I feel that I must get really into character, so losing my hair definitely will benefit me."

"Good, good." Krystal nodded her head, pleased. "I want to make this role for you and Minho be as pleasing as possible. So if there is anything in the story you'd like to change, please feel free to let me know. I'm open to any changes you'd like to make, being the actress yourself."

Sulli scanned through her script, pursing her lips, "There's actually just one thing I'd like to change."

"What may that be?" Krystal asked.

Sulli looked at her, "I'm not comfortable with Kim Ji Won in the cast.

---

"Have you met Krystal Jung yet?" Jin Hyuk asked Minho.

Minho pursed his lips, shaking his head, "I guess I will after Sulli comes back." he laughed, "Do you have a picture of her?"

Jin Hyuk shook his head, "A picture wouldn't even do her any justice."

Minho chuckled, Look at this old man, having a crush on another old woman.

What Minho thought, was Krystal was already up in her 30's; but what he didn't know, was that she was even younger than he was.

"Are you sure you don't want me in this drama sir?" Jonghyun flashed a cheesy smile.

Jin Hyuk laughed again, "Kim Jonghyun, it seems that you have too much time on your hands."

"Far too much, far too much." Jonghyun sighed, "I heard that Kim Ji Won is in it though." he winked, looking at Minho.

Minho rolled his eyes, "Everyone knows that was only a publicity thing. I like Sulli, and we're together now; nothing's gonna ruin that."

Jin Hyuk listened to the two, he couldn't help but smile. He loved how much Minho cared for Sulli, but he thought about Krystal. And he knew for a fact it wouldn't be hard for Minho to fall for her as well.

"Plus, Kang Ha Neul is her partner in this; everyone knows how head over heels they are for each other." Minho added in, "Ha Neul is a good dude."

Jonghyun nodded his head, "That is true."

Sulli came walking in, a slightly annoyed look came upon her face; "You can go." She sat down, replacing Minho in his seat.

Minho look at her, concerned as can be, "You okay babe?"

She nodded her head, not looking at him, "Just go and talk to her so we can leave already."

Jonghyun raised his eyebrows, he did not want to be stuck with Sulli; that's something he despised so much. "Uhm, I just remembered I have vocal practice." With that, he got up and left.

Minho chuckled, he was well aware that Jonghyun didn't like Sulli; but that didn't bother him. He touched Sulli's back, "I'll be back in a bit."

---

Minho knocked on the door politely, waiting for an answer.

"It's unlocked." Krystal answered, fixing some books on the shelf behind her.

He opened the door and closed it, turning around. "Hi, I'm-" Minho began, but he stopped.

The girl in front of him was wearing a maxi skirt with a crop top that was being pulled up higher because she was so short and was trying to reach up to the top shelf. Minho gulped.

He looked around, "Am I in the right room?"

Krystal turned around, smiling, "Choi Minho." she held her hand out, "I'm Krystal Jung."

Minho's eyes widened, he wasn't expecting the author to be so, so beautiful. "N-nice to meet you." he stuttered, taking a seat. "Don't be offended by this, but you're a lot younger than what I thought you'd be."

She laughed, straightening out her skirt as she sat down; "What made you think an old woman would be writing a fanfic? It's funny because Sulli said the same thing."

"Did she really?" he chuckled, "But I guess you're right." Minho mumbled. He looked up at her again, her eyes were fierce; but something about her was so mesmerizing, he just couldn't pinpoint what it was.

Krystal set her hands on the desk between them, "To start things off, do you have any questions for me?"

He tilted his head, noticing something, “You’ve been to at least two of our fan meets, haven’t you?”

How could he remember me out of all those fan girls? She laughed, covering in embarrassment, “Actually yes, I have. I’ve met all the members twice, minus Jonghyun, because he was off in Taiwan.”

Minho clapped his hands, pointing at her, “I knew I’ve seen you somewhere!” he exclaimed.

At this point, Minho just seemed like a child who has won a bucket of candy, and Krystal couldn’t even start to explain how adorable it was.

Krystal laughed again, “Enough about my fan girl experiences,” she said, “Do you have any questions?”

Minho nodded his head, puling out the script, “Here in episode 4, I don’t understand why Ha Neul and I get into such a huge fight? It’s not like Ji Won and I’s character have even interacted yet; actually, we don’t even talk up until episode 7.”

She nodded her head, knowing someone would question her on that. “It’s just a gut feeling of Ha Neul’s character.”

Minho leaned in, listening to her.

“As I hope you’ve read, Ha Neul and Ji Won’s characters have a strong relationship base. They started off as friends at such a young age that they know each other inside and out. She’s stubborn, but he deals with it because he loves her more than anything in this world. He’s clingy and nosey, but she adores everything about it because it makes her feel secure. The reason you and Ha Neul fight, is something I can’t say at this moment because it’s a secret written between the lines. I was hoping that once this show airs, that this fight becomes one of the biggest scenes because everyone perceives things in a different way. The way you understand a story may be totally different from the way I understand something. It’s just a matter of the person who’s watching it.”

MinHo’s eyes widened. Every last word of was so captivating and it made her sound so intelligent. “Are you sure you’re younger than me?”

She laughed again, “People say my brain works faster than most people.”

MinHo looked at her, absolutely mesmerized.

There we have it!
