"Come on, Selene-ah. You sit by the window." JongHyun Sunbae told me, as we got to the van where HeeSung-ah and he rode in, bringing them here. I climbed in, finding that my clothes and other necessary items inside. JongHyun Sunbae motioned that we'll sit by the back, wherein I'll be sitting by the window, and him beside me.

"Okay, arasso, arasso, Sunbae." I said as I finally sat where he wanted me too. He sat beside me with a smile.

Just then, his phone rang, and we can only look at each other after we read the message, which was actually from the director.

From: Director-nim

JongHyun-sshi, how you and Selene-sshi acted earlier was absolutely perfect for the video.
Congratulations, it looks like I would have someone to recommend when I'm asked on who could act a boyfriend role.
You're riding with her, right? Could you pass a message to her for me? I don't have her number.
Tell her that her acting exceeded my expectations. Tell her to expect lots of recommendation letters if ever she considered acting.

I gasped as every word of the message crashed down on me.

"Wow. You really are talented, Selene-ah." JongHyun Sunbae told me, nudging me gently, I could only awkwardly smile at his comment.

"So, we're going to eat first, right?" I asked him, which earned me a nod.

"Food is prepared for us in a resthouse around this area. That's where we'll spend the afternoon, then we'll go out for the second batch of filming later at about 4:30." He told me, and I nodded.

"Well, a trip is boring without music..." He said, opening his cellphone, and taking out his earphones from his backpack which was just beside him. However, his backpack wasn't on my side, it was on the opposite.

"Here, let's share." He told me, holding out one of the earphones and giving it to me. I took it and placed it in my ear, smiling at the song that was just ending.

"It's 'Miss You' by S.M. The Ballad, right?" I asked him, and he smiled before nodding.

Yeah, I have the whole mini-album here, since I'm still studying our songs. The whole album is on repeat and shuffle, so technically, I'm focused on listening on the mini-album, not on anything else." He said, now placing the other earphone in his ear.

"I see. So, you're pretty determined on refining how you sing your ballads." I told him, and he nodded before slightly increasing the volume.

Just then, the intro of my favorite song in the album played.

Hot Times.

"Ei! 'Hot Times'! Omona!" I exclaimed as the familiar tune began playing, and I looked at JongHyun Sunbae with a smile as the first chorus came on.

"Hot times, when you open my eyes to me. All my lifetime, all I need is you. Even if you shake me and make me suffer. You are my only person, who I can’t help but acknowledge..."

[english translation of the first chorus of Hot Times by S.M. The Ballad]

I sang along the first chorus, momentarily looking at JongHyun Sunbae's pleasantly surprised expression.

"So, I see. That's your favorite, huh?" He asked me, and I nodded, biting my lower lip gently as I did.

"Wow. So, you already listened to the album, huh?" He asked me, and I nodded, but I immediately pursed my lips.

I have been able to listen to the album, but it's because of youtube videos. I haven't bought an album yet, because the moment I tried to go to a music store to buy, it was already sold out.

"Hey, is there a problem?" JongHyun Sunbae asked, and I could only sigh before answering.

"I already listened to the songs, but through youtube videos. I haven't had a chance to buy your album, Sunbae. It's all sold out." I told him, and I couldn't help but raise an eyebrow as he laughed at me.

"Well, you should've said that you want a copy. Each of us members has about 8 complementary copies. I could give you one, you know?" He told me, and with that, I laughed out loud with him.

"Okay, sure. If it's fine with you to give me a copy, then why not?" I asked him back, and as his laughs now subdued to smiles, I smiled along with him.

"Hey, HeeSung-ah, can I open the window?" I asked HeeSung-ah, suddenly having an urge to feel the natural wind.

"Sure, the aircon would be much too cold for all of us anyways. You can open it. No one can be able to recognize you two." She said, and with a go signal, JongHyun Sunbae and I opened the window.

As the wind caressed my face, I closed my eyes, relishing the feeling. I haven't felt this carefree for a long time.

Just then, a sound of a camera snapped me out of my thoughts.

I quickly looked to my side, finding JongHyun Sunbae with his polaroid camera in his hand, a picture just freshly taken.

"Hey! I didn't ask you to take a picture of me!" I exclaimed as I rushed to look at the picture. He held it up so that I wouldn't be able to reach it, but of course through quick reflexes, I was able to get it.

"Hey, give it back! Don't destroy it!" He told me in a begging tone, I couldn't help but laugh.

"Yah, Sunbae, I don't intend to do such a thing! I just wanna see if it looks fine or not. Even if it doesn't look good, I'll still give it back, after all, the moment you decided to take that moment of my vulnerability, I gave it to you." I told him, which earned me a raised eye brow from my Sunbae.

"Okay, that was deep. Kindly explain?" He asked me, and I chuckled before complying.

"Well, the moment you decided to take the picture, the moment became yours. It wasn't mine anymore because you decided to take that moment for yourself by taking a picture. From me who was using that moment to become vulnerable in a sense, I gave the moment to you because you decided to save that certain moment for yourself." I explained, wondering if he could have a grasp at such abstract idea, but as he smiled at me, I knew he got it.

"If that's what you mean, then I hope you'd give more of your moments. That way, I could smile more than before." He told me, suddenly serious. He took my hand, and I sighed as his thumb ran along the skin of my hand.

"I'm glad to see that despite this issue with SeKyung-sshi, you find time to smile because of me. I heard from TaeMin-ah..." I trailed off, noticing that he began to smile.

"TaeMin-ah is the specially observant kind of person. He doesn't talk much when he's with us. But the moment you talk with him one-on-one, he can tell you everything he's observed. It's no surprise that he noticed how I smile when I talk to you." He told me, and I smiled as he talked to me.

"Well, you can treat me as a close friend, too. Perhaps not like how you and Key Sunbae treat each other, but at least, we're close friends. You could be able to have moments of happiness with me. I'll just be here, okay?" I told him, earning me a nod from him. I nodded back before pulling my hand away from his, leaning on the opened window and gazing at the distance.

It shocked me once more when I heard JongHyun Sunbae's polaroid camera make a sound, and I looked at the newly formed picture.

It's me again.

"You know, the sun really does something with your hair, and the wind is a plus..." He trailed off as I looked at myself in the freshly projected picture.

True enough, the sun had done something to my hair, and the wind added something to the image. I never knew pictures could have this much beautiful detail, and that someone like JongHyun Sunbae can notice these details hidden from common vision.

"Wow. I actually agree." I said, smiling as JongHyun Sunbae took the previously taken photos and slip into the pocket of his backpack.

"Can I have a picture with you?" He told me, and I just nodded before placing my head on his shoulder, fitting the both of us in the frame of the camera's range.

He took two successive shots, and once he was through, I asked him why.

"Well, you don't always have to give away moments to those who decide to take it. You can have your moments to yourself too. With this..." He said, lifting the pictures which just projected its images.

"...you can have that moment to yourself. The moment the both of us shared... you can keep that, along with me." He said, and as I looked at how he held the camera, I saw two gold rings in both his hands, one on each hand.

Come to think of it, he wasn't wearing that when we were filming, but when he got inside the van, I saw him slip those two on his fingers.

"Hey, why wear two rings?" I asked him, and I looked at his face, turning pensive once more.

"The other one was formerly Kyung-ah's. It's too small to fit on my other fingers, so I always wear it on my pinky. The other one is for me. These were our couple rings before, which she returned when she broke up with me." He told me, and my eyes returned to the two pieces of gold.

Hmmm.... It's too awkward for a man to be wearing both couple rings on his fingers.

I quickly remembered my necklace which pendant got lost while I was rehearsing. I hastily took my bag from the seat before us and got the necklace, slipping the female ring from JongHyun Sunbae's finger.

"What are you doing?" He asked me as I finally got the ring off and slipped it through the necklace. I locked it, happy that the necklace was naturally long, it can be used by either male of female. I placed it around JongHyun Sunbae's neck, smiling as the gold trinket reflected the sun's rays.

"There. It's awkward if you wear both rings like that, so better wear the other as a pendant. When you find another girl to love, then, you could give it to her. Taking a ring from your necklace to give to the girl you love, that would be really romantic. Besides, wearing that on your neck would never make you forget that there's someone special for you out there." I told him, smiling as JongHyun Sunbae touched the ring with his fingers.

"It shouldn't be on me, though." He suddenly said after a moment of silence. He took the necklace off and out of the blue, he placed it around my neck.

"I think it suits you better. The metal of the necklace was originally yours anyways. Besides, if I find someone else to love, I'll bring her to you and then ask you if she'd be good for me. I'd give you the power on deciding if I'll give the necklace to her or not." He told me before winking once. I couldn't hide my suprise.

"So, keep that necklace close to you, and leave more of your moments for me to take. I guess I can move on more easily with you being a friend beside me." He told me, before giving me his earphone, which had somehow dropped when we were fighting over looking at the picture earlier.

I took it and as Sunbae once more selected 'Hot Times' he took my head and made it lean on his shoulder. He took my hand afterwards, lacing his fingers with mine.

It's still about 20 minutes before we reach the resthouse.

So, I guess a short nap with JongHyun Sunbae won't hurt, right?
