It was a PT class and everyone were in the school grounds, engrossed in different games. Boys were playing soccer and the girls were having their won time. Lay was sitting there along with Yoona, hugging his arm and leaning onto his shoulder, making the whole school coo at the cute couple. Sana and Winni were busy with their own world, leaving Jennifer alone. Feeling bored, she walks around aim less and find a monkey bar. She lazily climbs onto it with all the courage but when it’s the time to get down, she gets all frightened. Chanyeol who see her for a while comes to her wondering why she is not getting down for so long.

“Ya..what are you doing up there, aren’t you going to get down..??

“OPPA..!! I..I.. cant get down. Help me..”

“What..??

“ I…I can’t get down. Please help me oppa..please..” Jennifer was already crying and Chanyeol didn’t have a heart to leave her just like that.

“Arasoo, just jump, I will hold you.”

“Noo…I am scared.”

“I told you I will hold you. Just jump. Believe in me.” Chanyeol stretches his hand forward and wait for her. Taking a long breath, Jennifer jumps down knocking then both to the ground. Chanyeol falls on his back and Jennifer on top of him, clenching her eyes close. The wind blows swaying her hair all over his face and she finally opens her eyes , staring at him with her deep black eyes. Her lips were slightly open, gasping for air and Chanyeol just gaze back at her astonished, for being this close with her for the first time. He pushes her of him when realizing strikes and walks away but the force with which he pushed her, got her hurt. He looks back when he hears her hiss a bit and Chen immediately rushs towards her.

“Are are you fine..??”

“Dhe.”

“Come on, let’s go to the infirmary.” He helps her up and holds her by shoulder while she wimps. Chanyeol stares at her back, a bit guilty but not really impresses with the guy being beside her.

It was a fine weekend when D.O went to visit him mom and spend the day in the orphanage. He parks his car and walks in, only to find everyone packing.

“Whats happening..??” he asks the head of the orphanage, confusion written on his face.

“We are moving.”

“What..?? but why..??”

“The old man who owns this place recently died and his son, he sold this place for some rich guy for money. They are going to take down this building and construct some residential area or something. Taking away home from someone else to construct houses..?? What an irony.”

“You can’t just leave like that. Where are you going.??”

“We rented a small place for now; we have to see what will happen next.”

“Who is the rich guy that bought this place..??”

“CEO of some entertainment’s company. What was it again..?? HA..XO entertainments and the CEO name is Suho.”

And that for enough for D.O to get all fired up.

He dashes into the huge building in Cheongdam-dong and walks directly to the elevator and press the number of the last floor. The guards try to stop him but he doesn’t give damn. When he reaches the floor, he ignores the assistant sitting there and brags into the CEO room, who was busy signing the files. Suho looks up at the intruder and slowly rises up from his chair. Behind D.O comes two if the bodyguards to drag him out but the CEO immediately dismisses them away, leaving him and D.O alone.

“What are you doing here.?”

“Why did you buy that Goodwill orphanage..??”

“What are you talking about..??”

“Don’t try to act smart. I know it was you who bought that orphanage. Do you even know what that place mean to me.?? It is the place where my mom grew up. It is the only place in this goddammit world that reminds me of my mom. Do you even know how it feels to take something away that belongs to your loved once.?? Of cores not. Who am I asking ..?? The young CEO of the XO entertainments. You grow up with everything, mom, dad and a family. And who am I.?? Just an illegitimate son to that irresponsible man.”

“Mind your words Kyungsoo, he is even your father and I really don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Stop acting all innocent. I know what you did. Just using your power to show you authority. Shame on you” Saying that, D.O marches out of the CEO’s office.

Sana leans back and closes her eyes in her SUV as her driver drives her back home. She wasn’t in a good mood. She got to know about the orphanage and she felts so distressing. She went along with their parents to one of those business parties but her mind was somewhere else. She excused herself from that place telling that she is having a severe headache. The car comes to halt at a red light and Sana glance out into the streets of Hongdae. She gets down of the car when she hear a faint melody and dismiss the driver to leave her assuring him that she will find her way back home. She need some alone time. She jogs to the other side of the road following the source of the piece of music. She finally reaches the place where there was a small set up of instruments and a guy singing in the middle.

“With happy laughter

Nights we dreamed of a tomorrow

That will shine like the stars”

 

“I’ll search the universe

Until I can find you again

I won’t let go, even the smallest memories

Memories engraved in the seasons

They come and go several times

But I will still call out to you.”

The familiar lines of lyrics make her snap her head towards the singer. He was in black over size hoodie with a pair of deep blue ripped jeans. The hoodie was covering his whole face from view but Sana found his frame familiar. She waits and listens, as he continues to sing the song.

“Laughter and tears, scars and healing

Questions and answers, they’re all in you

You have my world, you’re my small universe

The moment it vanishes, I will disappear as will.

 

I’ll search the universe

Until I can find you again

I won’t let go, even the smallest memories

Memories engraved in the seasons

They come and go several times

But I will still call out to you.

 

Memories always bring tears

Where it was all washed away …woo baby..

Only you remain

 

These aren’t feeling that I can end

In just one day, with just one try

I feel it so much it hurts

Where you are, I’ll go to you

 

I’ll search the universe

Until I can find you again

I won’t let go, even the smallest memories

Memories engraved in the seasons

They come back

So I will find you

Because that’s love

Because its love.”

His voice was shaking by the end, clearly telling that he was crying behind the cover. He instantaneously walks out of the place, and Sana follows behind him. She knows who he is but she just needs a conformation. She walks fast and stands in fount of his, halting the later from is path. He looks up and Sana breathes out, finding the guy hidden behind his hoodie.

“Sana..??”

“You did keep your promise to me.” She speaks after a gap and smiles to which D.O smiles back, showing of his heart lips.

They walks through the streets occasionally stopping buy at different stores and food stalls, trying different types of Hongdae’s street foods. It was her first time rooming around in that place and she finds it so fascinating. D.O glances at Sana who was onto her ice cream, looking all giddy. Just looking at her makes him forget all the happening the whole day. She was wearing an ivory green knee length dress with Safire stones around her neck, covered with a long black coat. She has a pair of long Safire earrings and a matching bracelet, finishing off her look. She had her long hair set loose and soft make up, her lips were in deep orange, contrasting with her complexion. She walks a bit uncomfortable and that’s when he realizes that she was wearing a 7 inches pencil heel with green crystals in the front. He holds her hand and stops her from jumping. He asks her to sit down in one of the benches and disappears from her sight. He comes back with a pair of ballerina shoes and gets on his knees, changing her heels with them. He stands up and offers her his hand which she gladly accepts with a smile. They spend the rest of the day in each other’s presence and finally drive to Han River. They sit together on a bench in a peaceful silence looking at starry sky.

“Can I tell you a secret..??” D.O breaths out.

“Looks like we are each other’s treasure box, to hide our secrets.” She chuckles and D.O follows.

“Maybe and I really need someone to share this.”

“I am listening.”

“You know that the orphanage is going to be taken down..??”

“Yeah.. I have heard of it today. It took my entire mood but after I met you, I feel better.”

“Me too..But do you know who is the one who bought that place.?? it’s the CEO of XO entertainments.”

“What..?? You mean Suho Oppa..?? But why..??”

“I don’t know. I think he just want to kindle me. He is…….My step brother.”

“I know”

“YOU KNOW..????”

“Hmm..I saw you.. with Jisoo Unni, that day.”

“Then, why didn’t you tell me.??”

“I just waited for you to tell me first.”

“ Kumawo.” He breaths out after a brief silence, with a small smile. He appreciates how understanding Sana is, another one of the faces hidden behind her mask.

“Fight for it”

“What.??”

“Fight for the orphanage D.O. You told me that that place meant so much to you. Then fight for it. I don’t know what you think but I admit with Jisoo unni that Suho oppa is not bad. I knew him for so long and I also think that you misunderstood him. I am not telling you to ask him for help but I am sure he will be in your side. I think your dad is the one behind all this. So meet him, speak up against him and I will always be there to support you.”

She lays her hand on top of his palm placed besides her squeezing it, silently assuring him and that was enough for him.
