“The Ice Brick”. That’s how people call her.

There are a lot of different girls I know. Yet, there never really be someone who surprised me more than this ice brick.

“Cut….”, the director said. The last kiss scene wraps up our night filming.

I release the deep breath, frozen as insane. I am trying so hard to gather my self again, as she starts to take off her lips from mine, and her arm from my chest.

I keep on looking at her. How could she stay calm? How could she be so normal after the uncountable passionate kisses between us?

“Thank you for your hard work”, she hesitately whispers and bows in front of me; leaving me in surprise. That porcelain face gives me no clue of what she feels inside. But at least, her cheeks turned red; signaling that she feels the same nerve as me.

. These fake kisses have never been this difficult. I’ve been doing such thing so many times in the past, just like the wind passed by.

I remember that holding her hands meant nothing to me one month ago. Pretending to be so much in love with her was only an easy part of our storyline. But now, I can’t differentiate what is real and what is not. I become so afraid of deeply trapped in my own imagination.

I couldn’t even trace back when things started to change. But perhaps, how she never tries to impress anyone is her element of surprise. She is beyond beautiful but she never brags about it. She is secretly talented but she manages to control it little by little.

Slowly, unconsciously, I followed her careful steps to the waiting room. She enters the room and grabs her black BVLGARI handbag right away. Like a stupid spy, I watch her every movement with excitement. Unfortunately, Ahn Sohee possess a very strong instinct inside her. While holding her phone seriously, she could notice someone is currently looking at her.

“Ah, you’re there?”, she turns her head to me while throwing a smile. She puts her cellphone on the table and  stands up.

I ask my self again; what’s this weird feeling lingered in my chest whenever she throws a shy smile?

She then looks at me awkwardly since I didn’t even say a word after being caught. I manage to be calm, as if nothing happens inside my racing heartbeat.

“Do you have plans after this?”, I bravely ask as she seems preparing to go home.

Sohee, who is zipping her handbag stops for a while. “Wae?”

I realized that her especially different magical presence has made me fallen. And making me fallen is never easy. Yet, she managed to do it after only a few times of seeing each other; with only a couple of short conversations.

“Would you go out for a quick dinner with me?”. Not wanting to miss this diamond, I shamelessly try my best of luck.

I see her speechless self for a while. It’s so obvious that she doesn’t expect that kind of question from me. And in between our silence, her ringing cell phone on the table answers everything. A picture of her popping on the screen. No, a picture of a man landing a kiss on her cheek. A man I could recognize.

I casually smile. So, someone caught her already.

Sohee shyly reaches her phone. She doesn’t answer her boyfriend’s call and just let it ringing that way. Instead, she feels more urgency to avoid me.

“Sorry, I need to go home now. See you”, she bows and quickly tries to disappear from my eyes.

The more I know, the more I challenge my self to win the game. I grab her hand before she walks away.

“I like you”, I whisper.

As expected, she says nothing but a shocked face. To be honest, that is the prettiest expression my eyes could ever capture.

“Don’t”, she whispers.

With no more word, she leaves me in the waiting room all alone.

Ahn Sohee,

We’re always so close, yet so far.

I will catch you heart no matter what. Secretly and slowly that you might not be able to resist me.

Just wait, a little longer…..
