Micky and Derline have been sitting on the beach for almost an hour. Micky was holding Derline as if he was too afraid to let her go. The breeze was already very cold, but they still didn't want to leave.

 

            “Do you think they are looking for us?” Derline asked Micky.

 

            “Yeah, but I hope they don't try to find us. I want to watch the sunrise with you,” Micky as he hugged Derline tighter because a cold breeze suddenly came. “Are you feeling cold?” he asked with concern.

 

            “A little, but it's okay as long as I am with you,” Derline answered.

 

            “Are you happy?” Micky asked.

 

            “Yes, but sad at the same time,” she answered.

 

            “Why?” Micky asked.

 

            “Because while being we're happy, we're also making two people close to us suffer,” Derline answered with sadness in her eyes.

 

            “Daniel and Max?” he asked.

 

            “Yes,” she replied.

 

            “I am sort sad for them too. But we can't really help it. What do you think we should do?” Micky asked.

 

            “I don't know either. I just feel so guilty that we're going to hurt them, that's all,” she replied.

 

            “Ssshhh.... Let's not think about them anymore. Let's just talk about us,” Micky said as he gently kissed Derline's head.

 

            “Let's talk about us?” Derline asked with a laugh.

 

            “Why? What's so funny?” Micky asked.

 

            “Well...” Derline was silent for a minute. She then smiled and started to talk. “Do you know how hurt I was when I learned that you already had so many girlfriends?”

 

            Micky smiled and hugged Derline tighter.

 

            “I was so jealous. Imagine I was traveling from country to country searching for you and you were already having someone else in your arms?”

 

            “How did you know it was me? I mean how did you find me?” Micky asked curiously.

 

            “When I was little, all my dreams were blurred. But as I grew older the visions became clearer. But still your whole face was still blurry. Then last year Henry and I went to hide in Korea, and I happened to hear one of your songs. I really liked your voices so I looked you guys up on the internet. And then when I saw your picture, somehow my heart suddenly stopped beating. I wasn't sure at first, but after learning everything I can about you guys. That's when I knew you were the one. After that I have been trying to find a way to get close to you guys. But my grandfather has always been one step ahead of me so I couldn't go anywhere. We hid in different parts of Asia from a week up to almost three months the longest. Henry couldn't get me close enough to you guys since you were very famous and all. Good thing that when your assistant got sick Henry was able to get me the job,” Derline narrated.

 

            “My poor baby! You have done so much,” Micky uttered.

 

            “Do you know how mad I was when you had another girlfriend after I finally found you and I was already trying to get close to you? Derline asked with a loud laugh.

 

            “Really?” Micky asked with a laugh also.

 

            “I was dying of jealousy...Every time a news about you and that girl got on the net. I was like screaming in the whole house,” Derline said with a laugh.

 

            Micky laughed as Derline told her story.

 

            “But after the screaming, I always ended up crying. And Henry would always end up carrying me to the nearest clinic. Then after that we would always end up packing up and hiding again. My grandfather had men looking everywhere for me. And they had made all possible contacts with hospitals and clinics. Daniel has also hired some men to protect me and hide my tracks so that my grandfather's men won't easily find me,” Derline explained.

 

            “I'm sorry that you have suffered so much,” Micky said with a sad tone.

 

            “So that's why I have only been able to get close to you now. Whenever I was near, something would happen and I would have to hide again,” Derline said. “And you...you were such a playboy....” Derline pinched Micky lightly on his arm.

 

            Micky laughed. “What can I do I was totally irresistible?” he said with a laugh.

 

            Derline laughed. “Yeah, I can't blame you. You didn't know about me and I was the only one who was running after you,” Derline said with a sad tone.

 

            Micky looked at Derline. He thought she was the most beautiful person he had ever seen in his whole life. He felt that if he were to lose her, he would certainly die.

 

            “What are you thinking?” Derline asked sweetly.

 

            “You...How beautiful you are and that I don't know what I would do if I lose you,” Micky replied honestly.

 

            “You won't lose me. I have been searching for you for all my life. So now that I have you I won't ever go away even if you tell me to go,” Derline said with emotion.

 

            “I will never ask you to leave. What I would certainly be doing is begging you to always be beside me,” Micky said with love in his eyes.

 

            Derline looked at Micky's face. She then cupped his face with her two hands and gently kissed him on the lips. Micky kissed Derline back as she started gently kissing him. Her whole body was already quivering because of the cold breeze. Micky felt her shiver and held her body tighter. As time passed his kiss deepened and she responded with the same passion that he was feeling.

 

            Back in the beach house, Jaejoong, Xiah and U-Know were already searching for Micky.

 

            “Where do you think he has gone to?” Jaejoong asked with concern.

 

            “Maybe he was too upset with Max and Derline earlier,” Xiah answered.

 

            “Maybe we should go and search on the beach,” U-Know suggested.

 

            “I wouldn't waste searching for them if I were you,” Max uttered. He had just arrived from walking out on the beach.

 

            “Where have you been? Have you seen Micky? The two of have been missing for more than an hour already. We have been worried sick,” Jaejoong continuously asked.

 

            “I was out walking. And don't worry about Micky, he's with Derline,” Max said without any emotion on his face.

 

            Xiah looked at Jaejoong. He wanted to ask if Max had seen something but he already had the answer just by looking at Max standing in front of him. It was very obvious that Max was very hurt. They wanted to comfort him but they couldn't find the right words to say.

 

            “Max...” Jaejoong was about to say something when their manager arrived.

 

            “So have you seen Micky” their manager asked.

 

            The boys didn't know what to say.

 

            “He's with Derline and Henry,” a voice answered. It was Daniel

 

            “Oh...” their manager uttered. “Well, boys don't stay up too late okay. We still have a photo shoot tomorrow morning. So you have to wake up early,” he said and then he bade good night.

 

            The DBSK members were left with Daniel as they were drinking a bottle of red wine.

 

            “Thanks,” Xiah said to Daniel.

 

            Daniel laughed. “For what?” he asked.

 

            “For covering up for Micky and Derline, I guess,” Xiah replied.

 

            “I would never do anything that would eventually hurt Derline. So I didn't do it to save your friend, I did it for Derline,” Daniel answered.

 

            “Thanks anyway,” U-Know said.

 

            “So do you think they have patched things up?” Xiah asked the others.

 

            “They have,” Max uttered.

 

            “What?” Xiah, Jaejoong and U-Know asked in unison.

 

            “How do you know? Did you see them? What were they doing?” Xiah asked excitedly.

 

            Daniel couldn't help but laugh with Xiah's reaction.

 

            “What's so funny?” Xiah asked.

 

            “You... Whatever Derline and Micky are doing right now is none of our business. So better leave them alone,” Daniel said.

 

            Max continued to silently sip his drink while listening to his friends talk with Daniel. His mind was obviously somewhere else. He was also thinking the same thing as Xiah. He was asking himself  what Derline and Micky doing right at that exact moment.

 

            Derline and Micky continued to talk until dawn. They both watched as the sun rise in the sky. They were both very happy just being in each others arms. They didn't realize that someone was already watching them from behind.

 

            “You know, it's already morning. Maybe the two of you would like to let go of each other now,”  Daniel said jokingly.

 

            Derline and Micky both looked at Daniel and smiled.

 

            “Good morning!” Derline greeted.

 

            “Micky, your manager might notice that you stayed out all night. Better change your clothes quickly, you photo shoot will start in an hour,” Daniel reminded Micky.

 

            Micky suddenly started to get up. “I need to go now. We'll talk again later,” he said to Derline.

 

            “Yes,” Derline replied.

 

            Micky gently kissed Derline in front of Daniel. After Micky left, Daniel was left with Derline on the beach.

 

            “Are you all right?” Daniel asked with concern.

 

            “Of course, why do you ask?” Derline replied with a smile.

 

            “You have been out all evening. You might get a cold,” Daniel answered.

 

            “Thanks. But I am fine,” she replied again with a smile.

 

            “Are you happy now?” Daniel asked.

 

            “Yes... very much...” she replied.

 

            “Good! That is what I want, for you to be happy,” Daniel said with a smile. “But you do know that your happiness isn't that secure yet?” he asked.

 

            “Yes, I know,” she replied.

 

            “My men have reported that some of your grandfather's men have already gotten some information regarding about you in the hospital that the DBSK boys brought you to. And they are already tracing what is the DBSK boys connection with you. I assume that it will only be a couple of days before they will be able to find you,” Daniel said.

 

            “Is that so?” Derline said with sadness.

 

            “What do you plan to do now? You can't ran away forever, especially when you have already found him and he obviously loves you as well,” Daniel asked.

 

            “Frankly, I'm not sure yet. But what I do know is that I don't want to be away from him,” she answered.

 

            “But your grandfather will never accept him,” Daniel added.

 

            “I also know that. Sometimes I wish my life wasn't so complicated,” Derline said with a sigh.

 

            “I think your two weeks with them will eventually be cut short,” Daniel said.

 

            “I don't know what will happen if my grandfather finds me. But what I am most certainly sure of is that he won't like Micky. And that is the biggest problem of all,” Derline said again with a sigh.

 

            “You do still remember that you promised me that after your contract ends with them, you will be going back with me to have your operation?” Daniel asked Derline.

 

            “Yes, I remember. And I will keep my promise. So I guess running away isn't an option any more,” she said with a laugh.

 

            “Your grandfather will surely find you in a matter of days since they already know that you're here in Japan,” Daniel said again.

 

            “It's okay, I guess. I have already prepared myself for the worst,” she answered.

 

            The photo shoot of the boys went very smoothly. Everyone was in a good mood especially Micky. Everyone noticed that he was always smiling and laughing. Xiah, Jaejoong, U-Know and even Max were glad that he was back to his normal self.

 

            After the boys had their photo shoot, the head photographer suddenly looked for Derline. He wanted to take pictures of Derline with the boys as an extra photo shoot sample. After several minutes, Derline appeared wearing a red dress. She was stunning in the dress she was wearing that all the people who saw her couldn't help but gaze at her.

 

            The DBSK boys together with Derline did some poses. And after an hour of taking pictures, they were all finished. While they were all resting, the head photographer suddenly exclaimed something.

 

            “Now I know why she looks so familiar. Derline looks like Dercie Holden. You know, the young commercial model who became a world famous model at the age of sixteen,” the head photographer said.

 

            Derline who was sitting next to Xiah and Micky suddenly became pale. Micky and the other DBSK members immediately noticed her reaction.

 

            “So where is she now?” one of the female dancers asked.

 

            “That's the strange part. After being banned from modeling by her grandfather, she suddenly disappeared. Some people even thought that she got kidnapped or something. But as it turns out she ran away,” the head photographer narrated.

 

            “But why did her grandfather ban her from modeling?” one of the girls asked again.

 

            “Her grandfather was a business tycoon, and he didn't want his only granddaughter working,” the head photographer answered.

 

            “Oh... I wish I was that girl,” one of the female dancers said.”Imagine, you don't have to work and you can have anything that you want.”

 

            Micky looked at Derline who was very quiet. “Are you okay? He asked.

 

            “Yes, I'm fine,” she answered.

 

            The DBSK boys remained silent. So Derline's past is already catching up with her. They were wondering if Derline can continue running now that he has Micky to think about.
