“jung soojung, BTOB ilhoon ask me if you want to go on a date movie with him..”amber said to her

“nah unnie I’m fine..”soojung said to her

 

 

 

Soojung were left alone in the practice room, she has been practicing for f(x) new song. Soojung is staring at seoul night view through the window. Winter will coming soon, she could feel the cold breeze when she come into the building before.

Soojung notice a small hole in the wooden desk, her company is one of the biggest entertainment company in korea yet they can't replace the old desk with the brand new one. But soojung think about the hole in different way.

She takes out the notes and pen from her canvas bag, ripped a small part and start to write something on the paper. She folds the paper into a smaller size and put it inside the hole..

“No one will noticed it anyway”soojung said before leaving the practice room.

“yah jung soojung what are you doing ?”luna asked her

“I’m taking my own message”soojung said as she tries to pull of the paper that she placed in the desk hole, a week ago.

“What did you write ?”amber asked her

“a message about winter”soojung said and amber took the paper from her

 

“winter is coming !! what a cold days for idol to perform”amber said reading the paper.

“yeah so you should wear something warmer, don’t catch a cold!”she continued

Soojung took the paper from her and how shocked soojung to know someone just read her hidden message and even replied to it.

“who is the person who also use this practice room ?”soojung asked their member

“how do we know ? we use this a week ago soojung-ah. It could be a trainee or maybe it was me ?”sulli said to her

 

But soojung really curious. she asked the staff, the list of the person who uses the practice room number 4. It was a lot of people who using the practice room, and soojung know it was impossible for her to find the person in a day.

“I will write another message”soojung said

‘who are you ? are you girl ?’

“ish this girl, what's wrong with her ?”luna pointed at soojung who bend down to put the paper into the desk hole once again.

“jung soojung !!”sehun called her

Soojung wasn’t noticed him until sulli pointed at sehun who waved at company cafeteria. The 94 liners were sitting together along with zitao the 93 liner.

“yah sehun-ah why did you give my number to your friend ?!!”sulli said to sehun

“he is your fans, and I though you and coiza subae already broke up”sehun told her

“we’re not !!”

Soojung just roll her eyes and wendy whispered something funny to her.

 

 

 

“what the hot topic that you guys talking about ?”taemin asked

“what take you so long !! we’re about going to karaoke to let out our stress”tao told lies him

“really ? this boy !! is looking for something in practice room !!”taemin pointed to jongin

“I left something in there”jongin explained

Soojung just stare at the boys who arguing over something that's not even important.

 

“soojung-ah do you have pen ?”jongin asked

“pen ? yeah I left it in my bag why ?”

“can you take it, I need it”jongin order her

“I left it in dance room number 1”soojung said she is too lazy to go back to practice room just for a pen

“I’ll accompany you..”jongin begged

 

.

.

“here”soojung give the pen to jongin

“thank you”jongin said

And he pulls off something from his pocket. Soojung eyes got widen to see that jongin holds the paper she put in the desk's hole yesterday.

“w-what is that ?”soojung said pretend to not knowing anything.

“huh ? it just a paper”

Soojung take a peak about what he writes.

‘I’m your guardian and I’m a girl..’

 

“wait here, I should go to somewhere”jongin said and running.

But soojung know where he going.

 

.

.

When jongin put the paper back where it placed he so shocked to see soojung standing on the door.

“so it was you ? and are you a girl ?”soojung said

“it was you who wrote the message ?”jongin asked back

“I really hope it was some stranger that I didn’t know who noticed my message…”soojung roll her eyes

Jongin laugh at her..

“you’re so childish.. but I’m also a dumb for replying your message”he said

“yeah let just stop this then”soojung also laughing.

The next day soojung were browsing the internet, she typed her name and jongin’s name in google and what come out is fanfict, fanmade video, and much more. Soojung want to laugh but she stopped as she see the bad comment about jongin fans who literally hates her.

And soojung typed a chat to jongin.
