Chapter 1

THE ROMANTIC

Standing beside the white walls of Santorini, with swaying brunette hair, wearing a nice pink maxi dress  with a thin coat from the spring weather, filming for the finale part of The Romantic, waiting for the decision making . . .

Yoona's POV

Today’s the day. I still don’t know what will happen. I don’t like to hurt people. But I don’t like to lie to myself either. I know, he loves someone else, but I still hope he will pick me. 

 

To know someone loves you, it’s inspiring,  but to learn that, that someone you love doesn’t love you back, it hurts. When that someone that he loves actually is your bestfriend,  it crushes you. To see he can never be yours, it kills you. . .

“HEY CAMPUS SWEET HEART!” a battalion shouted

 

Two heads looked at them from a deep conversation and blushed

 

“You guys are already senior students! Please show some respect even if I know you two are cute” T. Kim said with an angry face but clearly faking it, “ . . . and you two are obviously in love with each other” 

 

“ TEACHER! “ the two heads immediately cried, embarrassed. Cooing and teasing erupted from the students.

“ YOONA!” 

 

I heard a familiar voice and quickly searched for that handsome voice. I saw him at the other end of the hall running towards me. Oh those hot brunette locks. Those big brown sparkling eyes. That perfect nose and jawline. That pearl white skin and that pink lips. Why do you have to be so perfect, Donghae.

 

“I can barely hear the people talking to me because of your big mouth, you looser!” she said laughing

“oh c’mon, I know you like it” he teased. Well she can’t deny it 

“NO, I DON’T”, surrendering she just looked at him with a little smile as he was also doing the same

*SNAP*

“There you are!” an old man, with a polaroid camera, said

“Ohh, Hi Grandpa” the two young graduates said

“ Lolo, where’s mom and dad? “ Donghae questioned

“ Oh you know talking to Yoona’s parents “

“then why are you here?”

“I . . . got bored and hello?! I am too young to bore my life with those old people” 

“Lolo, you really are silly” Yoona laughed

“ Oh anyways, I got this mini Polaroid yesterday, and you don’t know how good it is! So c’mon I’ll take a picture of the both of you. C’mon don’t be shyyyy” the cool old man said, “ Okay one . . . two . . . KISS! “ 

 

“MINHO!” Donghae cried while Yoona was still processing the situation. They suddenly heard a laughing boy beside them

 

“Hey grandpaa! Longtime no seeee!” Minho shouted while bumping his fist with the cool old man, “Grandpa, can I see the picture?”

 

Grandpa looked at the picture then laughed so hard while passing it to Minho before sneaking out . It was Minho’s time to laugh. Furious Donghae tried to snatch the picture but Minho’s reflex was really good.

 

“I’ll keep this! HAHA” he teased, “hey you wanna come with me? To the new cluuub? With some hot girls?” wiggling his eyebrows

“Min, are you aware that you are a minor?” Yoona asked

 

“Yeaah? Well are you coming or not?” irritated

 

“hmmmm . . . no. Next time maybe” Donghae replied

 

___________________________________________________________________________________________

. . . Suddenly figures came in a line, and stopped in front of Yoona. It was the four finalists.  Kai, Suho, Donghae and Minho. Looking at them, makes her heart beat faster.

 

The host started saying the instructions “I will count one to ten and if your decision is picking the girl in front of you, stay on your place. If not, please step forward and go on with the next one. I’m starting now”

 

My knees started to get weak. My hands are already as cold as ice. My face is already as pale as the snow

 

“one . . .

Day 1, 8:12 am, Incheon Airport

“Welcome to Asiana Airlines. Your seat number ma’am?” the stewardess asked as she gave her plane ticket, “F 36? Right way Ma’am, Have a safe trip “ the beaming sweet stewardess said

Atlast a vacation, I’ve been waiting for this plus I’m not yet old to fall in love right? 10 days, I only need 10 days

She was too busy with her thoughts when she realized that she was actually looking for her seat.

F 28 … F29 … F . . .   she was just rows away from her seat when she saw that familiar face. Suddenly, her heart beats fast. As fast as a running bull. There he was, with the same old face , well just much hotter, looking at the window flashing his y jawline and there she was going back to that high school girl, head-over-heels with that boy. . . . 

F 35 . . . 

She was clueless of what to do. Right in front of her is F 36 and beside F 36 is G 36, and G 36 is where the cause of her beating heart and flushing red cheeks sits. She had no choice but to sit down but when she was about to, a man tilted his head to her direction . . .

“Yoona-yah?” he said blushing

“Donghae” she smiled

“Why - are you - by any chance, are you here because of a . . .”

“The Romantic? Yeah” she let out a dry laugh

“WOW”,  he laughed, “ How - how are you? It’s been so long? When did you come back? Are you staying here for good? Are you fine? Why – “

“One question at a time, looser” she laughed remembering his nickname while looking at the airplane magazine

“ well, you still look beautiful you know “ he said with a sweet voice causing Yoona to look at him with red cheeks
