"Jae Hwa-ah doong doong~!”

I felt a pair of arms wrapping my waist. A head nuzzling into my shoulder. I stopped walking and turned my head slightly to see who it was. Even though I already found about the person's presence. I had hid the fact that I didn't find out

"Hm, Kikwangie? Is that you?" I looked up to see his chocolate brown eyes, somewhat solemn and gazed upon mine

"Mmhm, who else could it be? You pabo." he exclaimed with grave sarcasm

Releasing his grip from my waist; He walked backwards with his hands holding his backpack straps and turned inward to face me.

"There...isn't another person that you could be thinking about, right?" Kikwang asked with pouted lips and a confused look on his face.

I laughed at him and carefully traced the engravings of his nametag. He looked so cute in his school uniform.

"Lee. Ki. Kwang. You are such a pabo sometimes." I smiled sweetly at him

He grinned at me, nonchalantly grabbed my hand and swung it back and forth as we continued to walk forward.

“Would a pabo be accepted into Cube Entertainment?" he said as the corners of his mouth reached his ears.

I stopped in my tracks and turned my body to face him.

"What? You really got accepted?!" I said with my jaw hung open.

Kikwang eyes turned into crescents as he held up his a letter of confirmation from the pockets of his uniform.

“I got it this morning! I had to tell you before anyone else, even before my umma!” he said with an excited tone as he handed me the envelope.

Due to the excitedness, I grabbed the envelope from his hands, and opened it up. Sure enough, it was from Cube. I read it in my head and processed everything through my brain.

“Kikwangie, it says you have to move into a dormitory there.." I continued reading, slowly my feelings began to sore down. "A-a-and you can’t visit back.?" I continued reading even though it already pained me enough knowing that we MIGHT not ever see each other again. "No phone calls to friends until debut" it stated. My eyes shifted from the letter to Kikwang. My smile beginning to almost drift away. He looked at me with a serious face.

(pinklove a/n: lul this probably isn’t true, but lets pretend it is, shall we?”)

“Yeah, since I live too far away and it would be mission impossible to get to practices and school on time." he shurgged his shoulders as if it was nothing. "I have too to do this…and the manger wants us to socialize with the band mates..not the outside world..” His voice trailed off, his eyes also trailing off to the ground.

“Well, that doesn’t change anything for us!” I exclaimed, looking at his worried facial expression. Kikwang’s eyes rose from the ground back to me.

“It does! How can I practice hard when I know a bunch of guys are going to hit on my girlfriend?" He began to scream on the top of his lungs. "Aigoo why do you have to be so cute…” He took a long good look at me and placed his hands on my cheeks, pinching ever so softly.

“Just wait, you’ll even fall for one of them right? And forget all about me.” He turned around and continued to walk forward, dropping his shoulders and his face looking down.

“Yah! Lee Kikwang! Do you actually believe that?” I asked with a stern face. I could see his head nodding up and down. “Kikwangie, I think out of all the people, I’M the one who should worry. When you become famous, you’ll have so many girls over you. You’ll fall for one of you’re noonas, right?” I practically shouted

Kikwang stopped in his tracks and ran back to me, with his eyes turned into crescents again.

“So you DO care.” Kikwang said with a smile on his face.

“Of course, do you think I’m stupid?” I replied back with a pout on my face.

“Then I’ll promise with this, that I won’t fall for my noonas.” He pulled out a heart shaped necklace, engraved with J.J., waving it side to side in front of me. I looked at it as it shone in the morning sun, and then Kikwang who was glowed in the reflection of the necklace.

“This is my promise to you, that I won’t forget you. Just come find me after everything is settled okay? That’s your part of this promise.” He said as he put the necklace into my hands, keeping his other hand intertwined with mine. I looked up to him and smiled.

“Of course! I’ll promise, you’ll see me in one of you’re many concerts and performances! Just wait okay? I’ll be there, wearing this!” I said holding up the necklace.

“Oh, and make sure you give me one of these when you see me okay?” He smiled as he leaned forward to leave a quick kiss on my cheek. I felt my face turn pink as Kikwang pulled back and walked forward.

“You’ll be late for school! Hurry up Jae Hwa!”

few years later

Kikwang POV.

I came off the stage and drank some water, but I almost spat it out when I looked to my left. I saw her.
She came back! She really did! And she looked even more gorgeous than before! I studied her appearance carefully, and she still had it. The necklace from high school!

She looked my direction and smiled.

“Jae Hwa ! You really came back! You look even more prettier than hig-“

I stopped.

She ran to Junhyung and wrapped her arms around his shoulders, and gave him a kiss on the cheek. I felt my knees go weak with every movement I saw between them.

Junhyung…? Why?
