Ji Hoo didn’t say a word in response. It felt so bad being rejected? Shin Hye now knew it, a different kind of pain. She had never dared to confess to Geun Seok, and when she gathered the courage to tell Ji Hoo her recently discovered feelings, it was useless.

Maybe he didn’t want to see her again after that. It would be so uncomfortable. She had messed up everything.

They reach Shin Hye’s house, and she closed her eyes and put a smile in her face, not without efforts.

“I… well, goodbye, Ji Hoo. I’m sorry if I disgusted you. It would be better if I… if I don’t go around your life anymore, I suppose.”

Ji Hoo just listened. He had been fighting himself all the way there. He still felt something, something painful, when he saw Jan Di again. But he knew also it wasn’t the same as before anymore. With Shin Hye, he felt comfortable; he felt that his life got out of its routine. She said that she liked him, what should he answer?

But at the moment she said that, about don’t being around his life, he didn’t like it at all.

It was completely crazy, because she was still too young, and he had already lived too much. She was still all smiles, but he had barely experienced happiness. Even the way they lived their lives were opposite. Despite the fact that people often followed him and idolized him for being an F4, his life wasn’t in the eye of the public. He could do whatever he wanted to do, and if he didn’t want to, nobody would know about it. Shin Hye, on the other hand, lived thinking of what the fans and anti-fans would say about her.

However, maybe because of those differences, the more he liked to be close to her.

“Good Bye, Ji Hoo-ssi”

“Shin Hye”

He held her arm, and she looked confusedly at him. Then, he forgot his purpose. He didn’t know what to do, neither.

“I’m sorry”

Shin Hye held the tears. She wouldn’t cry. She wouldn’t cry yet.

She got out the car and crossed the gate of her house. It had been just a short dream, but she would be back to reality.

One day more without seeing him. It was a week already.

Early in the morning, she went to the foundation for the first photo shoot. She had already lost one whole day before, so then she had to do the shoot and the recording of a song for the promotional video in the same day. They were supposed to have the music so as to can use it with clips of videos of the children that were in the program of the foundation. The problem was, there were no lyrics for the music yet.

The secretary was going crazy and yelling at the writer when Shin Hye got into the room, and bumped into a mad man who had just been fired.

“I’ve listened the song. I want to write the lyrics” She said.

“Do you?”

The secretary was skeptical.

“Yes. I usually do that with my brother. I know isn’t the same, but if you need something right now, I can-”
“Thank you, but I’ll get a professional”

“Let her try it.” The composer said “I know this girl’s family; she might have some potential hidden”

The secretary looked at Shin Hye, making a gesture of disbelief.

“I just want to help”

“Ok. Let’s see. I only expect you’ve been chosen by the boss for a reason”

Shin Hye contained her anger. It was nothing, just another person who didn’t believe in her. The woman just went away and left the musician with Shin Hye. The man smiled at her and asked.

“So, what do you have in mind?”

Shin Hye smiled, and then she sat on the couch and the words that had been crossing her mind all those days.

She couldn’t help but think of Ji Hoo. She should forget him, and she had thought it would be easy, that she wasn’t deeply in love yet. But then again, his face kept coming to her mind. Even when she had gone to Geun Seok’s house the other day and the two of them had been watching a movie and eating popcorns, she didn’t feel like before, her heart didn’t went beat faster at all. When he mentioned he would go to Japan to visit her girlfriend, it didn’t hurt as bad as before.

However, the cure wasn’t any better than the original pain.

“I like it like this. Let’s try it. Maybe not for their commercial, but it’s a nice song. It could even be a hit”

Shin Hye blushed.

I’m so afraid

I’ve been lost like this before

The path I should follow is not clear

Stupid her, falling for one she knew since the very start she couldn’t have.

I’m not sure if tomorrow

You’ll need to wait for me.

When she was singing, she closed her eyes first and concentrated in the song. Then, when she opened her eyes, she found him outside staring at him. Of course, he was the boss, he could go whenever he wanted.

Now I wish to hide it

I want to disguise myself

Here and there, once in a while, she would get a glimpse on him. So cold and distant as he was, she couldn’t help but remembe
