I was fidgeting on my bed, contemplating whether to call the number or not. Idols don’t usually write their mobile numbers on fans’ albums right? I mean, if he had written this same message on everybody else's… He could get in a lot of trouble, right?

‘Aish! What if he just wrote random numbers?!’ I told myself, feeling frustrated.

I reached for the album on my bed side table.

“Should I?” I contemplated. It’s almost 12 midnight. I bit my lip.

If he answers, what should I ask then?

Think Jihye.

I should ask how was the fanmeet. Then ask if he had dinner already.

But of course they should have ate already! But heck, just ask anyway.

Then…. ask why he gave you his mobile number.

Okay that’s it. I’m calling.

I think my heart skipped a million when the other end of the line kept ringing, once.. twice.. and then---

“Yoboseyo?”

I accidentally gasped out loud, and then covered my mouth. I heard the man who answered the phone chuckled.

“Yoboseyo?” he asked again, but I can hear him smiling. This is Lee Joon, right? It’s definitely him. It sounded him!

“Ah.. Annyeonghaseyo.” I squeaked. OHMYGOD ! Did I just squeaked? I felt like dying of embarrassment!

“Annyeong. Is this Jihye?” I heard him asked expectantly. Usually if my friends would ask me that, I’d joked around, saying I’m not. But this is Lee Joon! OMG LEE JOON!

“Ah. Neh. Annyeonghaseyo.” I said. Ugh. Why do I have a habit of being a dork when I’m embarrassed?

“Ya~ What took you so long to call?” Lee Joon whined cutely at the other end of the line. I seriously couldn’t breathe. Why is he being adorable now?! WHY NOW?! I can’t get to pull myself together!

“Ah. I-I’m sorry.. I was ..t-thinking.. maybe…” I stuttered. Okay I was thinking maybe he’s just playing on me. But should I really tell him that?

“You’re thinking maybe I was just playing on you, right?” I heard him say, his voice dropping a bit in disappointment. That caught me off guard.

“Um…” I know I’m not a very good liar. So it wouldn’t do me good if I will just lie.

“It’s okay!” He said cheerfully. “Oh! I didn’t know we actually went to the same high school!” He suddenly exclaimed.

Huh? How did he know?

“What year did you graduate?” He suddenly asked me.

“Um.. 2008.” I answered, while seriously thinking how he found out!

“Oh! So you’re my hoobae. I graduated two years before you! How come I didn’t see you then!” He laughed. I laughed a little too. Of course he wouldn’t see me. There’s like a hundred other girls in the school, and most of them are even throwing themselves at him.

“How come you knew where I went?” I blurted out. I feel glad that Lee Joon is actually making everything easier for me. I mean, he must knew I feel awkward and all, but he’s talking like we’re already good friends.

“Hehe.” He chuckled. “I’m checking out your minihompy right now.” He admitted. I felt my jaw dropped.

WHAT? HOW? WHY----

“OMG ARE YOU STALKING ME?!”I blurted out which made him burst out laughing.

“Hey! Don’t be mad, I bet you also do that, right?! I mean, stalking and all.” I can hear him laughing teasingly.

OMG SERIOUSLY!

“So,” He resumed sounding so seriously, “You seemed to like Infinite so much.”

I bit my lip. Is he seriously looking at my minihompy?! I wrote so much dorkiness in that thing! 

“But I like Mblaq the best!” I piped in. I heard him giggled, which earned me those butterflies feelings in  my stomach.

“Really?”

“Yeah.”

“Then let’s go out tonight!” Lee Joon excited exclaimed.

“What? Right now? But its…” I looked at my bed side table. It’s almost 1 in the morning.

“Please~~~~~~” Lee Joon begged. I laughed. I can’t believe he’s actually just the same with all of his videos that I’ve watched.

“I’ll pick you up right now. Just tell me where you live. Then I promise I’ll send you back too. I’m just really hungryyyyy..” He said. And weirdly, why do I imagine this choding pouting? I laughed to myself quietly.

“Aren’t you sleepy already?” I asked, but still feel elated to be asked out by him.

“Well, not yet. If you could have called earlier, then we would not be going out this late.” He said. I heard shuffling on the other line as if he was already getting ready.

“Send me your address. And I’ll be there in maybe, 20 to 30 minutes.” Lee Joon said. WAIT ! I didn’t agree to it yet, did I?

“W-wait! Lee Joon-sshi—“

“Can’t wait to see ya! Bye!” *click*

I stared at my mobile phone, disbelieving.

That was seriously Lee Joon, right? I mean, of course I know how he laughes, the way he talks and do aegyos. That’s definitely him!

But I still can’t over the fact that he’s asking me out right now! Okay, it’s just… eating out, coz he’s apparently hungry. But still! A midnight ‘eat out’ with my bias!

I wanted to scream on top of my lungs, but I know my mom and dad and my sister will wake up!

OMO! Should I tell unnie? But then, she might not like the idea of me going out right now with a guy. Even though it’s Lee Joon, he’s still a guy after all. And didn’t unnie ask me how many times to just change bias, like Cheondoong. I don’t know why, but she just seemed not to like the idea of me liking Lee Joon so much. Maybe because she knew him from before.

After sending him my home address, I quickly jumped out of my bed and grabbed something to wear. I ditched my Stitch pyjamas and quickly made up. Gosh! I can’t believe this is all happening!

===============

“Are you cold?” Lee Joon asked me about the 10^th time already. I just smiled and said I’m okay. He has been craving for ddokbboki and we ate on food stall on the street. It’s not that I don’t like it there, heck, I love food stalls on the streets! But it’s just that tonight had become extra cold and I wasn’t all prepared.

The truth was, I can’t tolerate too much cold. It’s weird, right? Korea is a cold country, but winter has always been my least favourite season.

I looked around. This must be the reason why he wanted to go out at this hour. There aren’t much people around and it’s really peaceful during this wee hour in the morning.

“Here.” He said. I looked back at him and saw him trying to feed me one.

“Um..” I hesitated. I looked up at him and he looked so sweet with that expectantly smile on his face. I leaned to him carefully and took the ddokbboki with my mouth.

“Thanks.” I said, smiling politely. If this continues, I swear I will never be able to get a boyfriend. I will never be able to look at any guy with the same way I see this person. He must have notice I was looking at him while chewing on this ddokbboki.

He did his trademark smile and lowered his face so it would level with mine.

“Am I that too handsome?” He teased. I was quite taken back with his retort but nonetheless I laughed.

He seemed to be satisfied with my reaction and reached out to me to feed me more. Slowly, we didn’t realize we’re becoming much closer, even though he just met me today.

I was blabbering about how my parents wanted me to study abroad but chose against it, when suddenly he pulled out his hands off his gloves and I flinched at the cold sensation on my cheek.

“Your skin is too cold.” He suddenly said, leaning forward. His face was too damn close and honestly, I was freaking out inside!

I then saw his eyes travelled down to my hands that were hiding inside my jacket’s pocket all the while. He gently took my left hand out and interlocked his hands with mine.

“Your hand is too cold too.” He said, as if talking to himself.

“Um.. I sort of forgot to bring my gloves.” I laughed awkwardly. AND WHAT AM I TO DO? I’M HOLDING HANDS WITH LEE JOON!

“Why did you tell me you’re this cold? I kept asking you.” He said, he looked a bit upset, but not to me, he looked like he’s upset with himself.

He dragged his chair closer to me and I almost jumped out of my skin at what he did next.

He took off his jacket and draped them across my shoulders and his too. His body was too close with mine; I can almost feel the heat coming off him. God, I’m such a good girl that I get all of these in 1 day?!

He then wrapped his arms around my waist and got my right hand and interlocked it with his.

“L-Lee Joon –sshi…” I stuttered. This is way DAMN TOO AWKWARD. “S-someone m-might see us. I know.. y-you’re just being kind and all.. B-but I don’t want you to get into trouble.”

I was afraid to look sideways coz he had his chin rested on the left side of my shoulders.

“But no one’s around. Plus you’re cold.” He said, as if it’s just the normal thing to do if someone’s cold.

“Well… y-yeah. But---“

I felt his arms tighten around me. “Are you still cold?” He asked again, as if he didn’t even hear what I was saying in the first place.

“N-no. Not anymore.” I blurted out. How can I be cold? I think all the heat had gathered in my face! Why is he doing this?! Isn’t this too much of a fanservice already?!

“Lee Joon-shi?” I called faintly, after roughly about 5 minutes. The position is starting to get awkward. The ddokbboki lady doesn’t mind us the least. Plus there are only a couple of customers inside, aside from us. And the other 2 customers are also a couple.

“Hmm?” He asked. I saw from my peripherals that he had his eyes closed already and he looked like he was comfortable with this position.

“If you’re sleepy, we can go home now. You still have an early schedule tomorrow.” I reminded him.

“But if I go home, I won’t be able to go to sleep.” He said his voice drowsy and is obviously sleepy already.

I squirmed a bit in his arms. Despite all the cold, why do I feel my hands starting to get sweaty?! Man! This is so embarrassing!

“Do you want to go home already?” Lee Joon asked when I didn’t reply. His voice sounded a bit disappointed.

“Well, it’s already almost 3 in the morning and I’m worried you won’t get enough rest for tomorrow.” I said. It’s true. Lee Joon has to film a CF tomorrow, according to his schedule, and I don’t want him to look and feel exhausted just because he stayed up too late tonight.

“You can just go home straight and I’ll take a cab so you won’t have to drive me home.” I said, shaking his arm a bit to make sure he’s awake while talking to him.

“WHAT? NO!” Lee Joon lifted himself up to look at me as if I had lost my mind.

“I’ll take you home. I promised you that.” He said moodily as he started to take out his wallet to pay for the food we ate.

“Are you mad at me? I’m sorry, I just don’t want to trouble you so much.” I said, looking down.

He stopped on his tracks and turned to look at me.

“Hey, I’m not mad at you. I just wish we could stay a bit much longer.” He said, looking clearly disappointed.

“I want to spend more time too, but---“ I started to argue. Heck, I want this more than anything else. Lee Joon acting all sweet and sort-of a boyfriend-ish to me. HECK I WANTED THIS SO BAD. But I cannot be selfish and I want him to rest too. I’m also scared that this might be actually too be good to be true, so I wanted it to stop and just remember all the good sweet parts.

“I know I know.” He suddenly pulled me to him. I swear I felt my heart stopped. My face literally being crushed to his lean chest. This is too much for me!

Lee Joon seemed to notice that my knees were suddenly failing me, so he had supported my weight by wrapping his arms around my waist.

“I will see you soon again, okay? Don’t even dare ignore my calls.” Lee Joon said, as I felt him kissed the top of my head. I suddenly felt dizzy. This can’t be true, right?

Earlier today, I was just an ordinary fangirl, and now I’m in my bias’ arms! How is that even possible!

With all the strength I could muster, I pushed his chest gently to give space between the two of us.

“L-Lee Joon-sshi.” I started, not wanting to look up to meet his eyes.

“Why … Why are you doing this?” I asked. This is too much! He just met me! How can he act like he has actually fall in love with me? Or am I just over thinking it? But why do I feel like I’m being led on?!

He reached for my hand and held them firmly but gently.

“To be honest, I don’t know too.” He confessed his voice gentle and sincere. “I just usually do and act however I felt like it,” He started explaining. Of course I know all of these. Based on my fangirl-ing skills, I’ve already know about this kind of personality of him.

That when he wants something, he just can’t control himself. He needs to get it. And also, when he falls in love, he falls hard. But I’m too forward to think that he’s falling in love with me, right? Aish. Babo Yoon JiHye!

“What’s wrong?” He asked, looking at me while I had my own little battle with my thoughts.

“Ah. Nothing! I should probably get inside now, so you can go home and rest too.” I said, disentangling myself from him.

He dejectedly looked at me. Do I sound like I’m trying to get rid of him?

He pulled my arm to stop me for a bit.

“I’ll call you when I get home, okay?” He suddenly said cheerfully and leaned to quickly peck on my forehead.

I gaped at him as he jogged back to his car.

“Go!” He shooed me to go inside the house before he entered his car.

I waved at him and smiled. GOSH! This is a dream, right? And anytime soon, I will wake up already!

I plopped down my bed. It’s almost 4am now. I’m so afraid that I’ll wake up from this damn beautiful dream that I can’t even make myself go to sleep.

I reached up to my phone when it vibrated.

‘My pretty princess Jihye~

Are you sleeping now? I arrived safely at our dorm. I’ll see you again tomorrow, right? Have a sweet dream~^^

Your prince Lee Chang Sun’

Have you ever felt that feeling as if millions of fireworks were lit all at the same time inside your chest? That suddenly you’re scared that you’ll die anytime soon, because your chest is about to explode and you can’t even do anything to stop it?

Well, that’s what I’m exactly feeling right now.
