Drama filming resumes as per normal. Ever since the radio show, she felt lighter. Knowing Jackson's feelings took off a huge burden on her shoulder. She didn't have to constantly worry about their friendship status anymore. Life is less complicated when we let things go. Even if it may seem difficult, the outcome will surprise you.
It was finally the last day of filming. The drama being a webdrama, means filming period was short and lasted only for a week. When YoungJi was filming a scene with Suwoong, from the corner of her eyes, she saw a man wearing cap and spectacles giving out snacks - which made her stomach grumble. She didn't have much appetite yesterday and skipped dinner. Breakfast was a simple toast. She thought the toast made her full but boy she was wrong. It didn't last her long. She was full for an hour and begin feeling the hunger. She hoped to end the required scenes and grab something light to eat. When the director yelled cut, she couldn't help but grin.
Kiwoong walked towards them and hand out the snacks while thanking YoungJi.
"Kemowo YoungJi-yah for the snacks. I'll enjoy it."
"Dae? Why are you thanking me?"
"The person is your new manager isn't it? That's what people are saying. Anyways, go and take a break. You've been filming since morning."
"Dae."
YoungJi was puzzled. Did her company send her a new manager? In fact, she has never seen the man before. He looked like someone who has a fit and young body. It's impossible that they suddenly replace her manager. She walked towards the confectionary area and grabbed a red bean bun.
Wow this taste so sweet
"Is it really that delicious?" A voice whispered in her ear
She jumped up not because she was shocked but because she recognise that voice. She turned and see the familiar looking dimple
"OPPA!! What on earth are you doing here?"
"What else? Showing some support to my cyborg partner."
"In case you've forgotten, I'm a college student here whose a human not a cyborg." YoungJi replied while sticking out her tongue
"Araseo gongjunim (Alright princess) "
"So the snacks was all your doing?"
"Nope"
"Then?"
"Both Hyuk and I."
"Kamdongida (touched)"
"Well we happen to have a schedule nearby and bumped into your manager at the restaurant. So, since we didn't have anything on later, we decided to drop by and show some support. Afterall, I'm the original male lead."
"Aigoo kemowo oppa. Have you met Kiwoong oppa yet? I keep seeing you in him and it feels so weird. He's like a mature HongBin."
"Are you saying I'm immature,"
"Ani, just young?"
"Where did you learn all those sugar coated words from?"
When YoungJi was about to reply, Hyuk shouted across the room "Aigoo uri cyborg couple. Are you filming Error 2.0?"
"Hyuk-ah Annyeong!! Thank you for coming."
"Dae Nuna, I didn't have a choice actually. The guy over here wanted to come to see his cyborg counterpart."
YoungJi blushed hard at Hyuk's word ; thinking that HongBin came to see her made her inside dance. Seeing her face turning red, HongBin elbowed Hyuk and asked him to shut up.
"Waeyo Hyung? (What's wrong?) are you embarrassed." Hyuk teased as he walked away
HongBin ruffled his hair and said shyly "well, it's true that it's my idea but I didn't force him though. He willingly agreed. Just thought it would be right as someone who has been advising you to come and show some physical support."
"Whatever the reason is, thank you oppa."
"Right and if you don't mind me asking, what's your schedule like on your birthday?"
"Practising for concert since its two days later."
"How long will you be in Japan?"
"Pretty long."
"Will you be performing at Hiroshima?"
YoungJi took out her phone and quickly browse through her schedule. "Err on the 10th"
HongBin's eye grew wide and a small grin appeared "On the 9th, is it alright with you if we go and grab a dinner together at Hiroshima?"
"You'll be there??"
"Yeap and think of it as a birthday meal. I'll ask Hyuk and Ravi to join too. You can invite your unnies over too."
"Call.Text me the location of the restaurant. I'll be there."
"Thank you YoungJi. "
"It's nothing much oppa, in fact I should be thanking you."
After a great meal, YoungJi went back to filming and both HongBin as well as Hyuk left the set to travel back to Seoul. The alchemist cast teased YoungJi especially Suwoong. Since Suwoong is friends with Hyuk, she believes that Hyuk told him some weird stuff which is why Suwoong keeps giving her the weird glances. She shrug it off and tried her best to film as per normal.
On her birthday, when the clock strikes twelve, a stream of messages came in ; from her parents,relatives, friends and even fans. She read through them slowly and she couldn't help but smile. Though she knew Jackson wouldn't text her, she was hoping to at least get a 'happy birthday' even if it wasn't sincere but nope, he gas yet to send ; part of her hopes he will send and another part knows he won't send it. Her thoughts was disrupted by continuous vibration.
Ken oppa: Saengchuk YoungJi!!
N oppa : YoungJi-yang, saengil chukahaeyo ( Happy birthday YoungJi) hope you have a nice day
Ravi : A-yo YoungJi-yang, happy birthday!
Hyuk: Nunaaaaaa! You know why I'm sending this right? Kekeke Happy birthday (PS HongBin Hyung made all the VIXX members to send it but Leo Hyung, rejected kekeke keep this as a secret. Shoosh."
HongBin-ie oppa : YoungJi-yah jinsimeuro, saengil chukhahaeyo (sincerely a happy birthday). It's been a year since you've debuted and you're so close to success already. I've been watching your shows and monitoring you closely ; I can tell that lots of people, regardless whether they are KAMILIA or not, they really like you. Be true to who you are and you'll reap the fruits of labor soon. Enjoy your day and see you in Hiroshima for your birthday gift.
She teared up a little reading HongBin's text and it was really nice of him to get the VIXX members to text her too. They were her first few connections in this industry and she's thankful they are a bunch of great people.
YoungJi : Thank you oppa!! Yes, see you in Hiroshima!
It was finally the start of KARASIA 2015, the concert scale is smaller this year and it wasn't as tiring as last year's. A few shows went by quickly and finally it was time for Hiroshima's league. Upon arriving at Hiroshima, YoungJi felt a little jittery. She really couldn't wait to meet HongBin since it would be the first Japanese outing with him but she also felt nervous - afraid people would recognise them.
YoungJi : Oppa! I've reached Hiroshima
HongBin-ie oppa : Arasseo, I'm starting my Hi-touch soon. This is the address
Xxxxx- xxxxx level 1
The meeting time was at 6pm and YoungJi began to get ready at 430. The place was a 30 minutes ride away from the hotel she's currently staying at. She chose her outfit carefully - not wanting to look over dress nor too underdressed. She wore a simple long sleeve loose crop with a paired with a dark jeans and a simple platform sandals.
When she reached the location, it was a really quiet road with a few elderly just hanging out together. The sight of youngsters was rare. YoungJi was able to relax a little since the probability of people recognising her was small.
She entered the restaurant and saw HongBin staring into blank space. There were some worry lines on his forehead.
He was has on a simple khaki pullover and jeans. She slowly walked towards him and scare him. "Boo"
HongBin jumped out from his seat and was pleasantly surprised to see YoungJi. He thought she would bring her KARA unnies along but she came alone and that made him slightly happier.
" I reserved this okonomiyaki place for us. At the back of the restaurant are my members and some of our stylist - so as to avoid any scandal."
"Thank you oppa for doing all this,"
"It's okay, here let's decide what to eat."
HongBin handed YoungJi the menu and and she chose the regular set with extra squid and octopus topping. The food came a ten minutes later and both YoungJi and HongBin talked casually as they ate ; asking about their future schedules and health. HongBin brought out an Oreo cheesecake for dessert and it was really good.
When they were halfway through eating the cheesecake, HongBin cleared his throat and asked " Are you and Jackson together ; in a relationship or some."
YoungJi looked down and HongBin felt guilty "it's alright you don't have to tell me."
"Aniya oppa, it's nothing much. We used to be really close and I fell a little for him but we don't talk now."
HongBin didn't know how to respond except with an "oh"
"Yeah."
YoungJi couldn't look at HongBin's eyes. This was the first time she said out loud that she stopped talking to Jackson. Everyone around her assumes things are fine between her and Jackson. They didn't know how their friendship is now on the fences. It's starting to feel real that she no longer associates herself with Jackson. She feels as though she opened up a world which she has hidden from people.
HongBin stood up from his seat and walked towards the counter where there's a guitar. YoungJi looked up confused and teary eyed ; not knowing what to expect. He began strumming a few chords and began to sing
Even if I’m not a good talker, please understand me
I will tell you all of the truth that I’ve been keeping
Do you remember the day we first met?
Your pretty lips smiled at me
After that day, I was determined
That I never want to lose you from my embrace
That I will go till the end
Saying I love you with words might not be enough but
Still I will confess to you today
I wanna be with you, always from a step behind you
Don’t forget there’s a person who will protect you
After I met you, I found something to do
It is to make you smile all day, every single day
There might be times when I’m really busy but
In my head, there are only thoughts of you
Saying I love you with words might not be enough but
Still I will confess to you today
I wanna be with you, always from a step behind you
Don’t forget there’s a person who will protect you
When you tell me to cheer up
When your eyes are looking at me
Those things make me exist right now
I have nothing else to tell you but I love you
Thank you so much for waiting for me till the end
For looking at me without shaking
Lean on me, believe in my love
Let’s be together for always, forever
I love you, I need you.
I love you, I need you.
It’s only you for always
Stay by my side, I’ll comfort you
Let’s love as if the world stopped like this
Thank you for being you
Lyrics from : http://popgasa.com/2013/05/20/vixx-love-letter/
so here's a confession. The first timeI saw you, it was when I was watching music bank during my break. I liked how you were so passionate when singing Mamma Mia and that big eyes of yours, kept drawing me in. When my company asked me to be the male lead for Error Music video, I sugested your name. Saying that you had a pale skin, big eyes nd a healthy figure; exactly the kind of cyborg we were looking for. When we greeted each other n set for the first time, I really loved your smile and how you look at everyone in amazement. While filming the music video, I don't know how you didn't notice it but my heart was going crazy. It could jump out any minute at the rate it was beating. I've been ignoring my feelings for so long but I'm crazy for you Heo YoungJi. When I saw how close you were with Jackson, I was really sad. Then when I read comments of his fans cursing you, I was mad furious. I don't need a reply from you but this is my confession. The only gift I can give you as a birthday present is me ; being there for you, helping you and protecting you.
YoungJi stood there stuned - not knowing what's the right words to say to him. " Oppa, I don't know what to say."
"It's okay."
" I think it's best if I head back. I need time to think." With that, she left. Leaving him there standing alone with 5 pairs of eyes staring at him silently.
