Haha new chapter again. Sorry that the last chapter’s so useless. Well, you get Sehun there though. Okay I'll shut up now. Blue figure.

What the hell? Isa froze in her place. The blue figure wasn’t a passers-by, it was WATCHING her.

Oh my gosh.

A Smurf.

 No, Isa, don’t be stupid. That wasn’t a Smurf. A Smurf would be shorter and it’ll have some kind of a hat. And a big nose. Okay, fine then. Is it a stalker? Wait, why would I have a stalker? I’m not famous or pretty enough to have a stalker. Okay, a ert then. Yeah, a ert can have all kinds of weird standards, that makes more sense.

 Oh my gosh, I’m being watched by a ert!

Isa quickly walks away, entering a bookshop. She ducks around, trying to *lose her follower. She hits her head on a discount notice in the process. She lets herself fall to the ground, rubbing her head.

Okay, I heard a gasp. Someone saw that. Someone is definitely watching me.

Isa gets up, noticing that she’s supposed to be at her late shift in about twenty minutes. She tries to sprint in a crouching position out of the bookstore.

“Ouch!”  Her head hit something hard. Argh, not again! I’m gonna turn into a bimbo if I keep hitting my head! “Sorry!” She doesn’t even bother to look up at the thing she hit since she’s late to her job and Jinyoung’s not in charge on late shifts to bail her out. She just bows and continues running. Little did she know that she just apologized to a bookshelf! And she also didn’t notice that the same blue figure from before saw her apologizing to the inanimate object.

And of course she doesn’t realize it when the blue figure waves goodbye to her with a sad sigh.

-----------------------------------------------

“Isa! I love your hair!” Her co-worker Sandeul says as Isa walks into Black Pearl Thursday evening. She curtsies. “Thank you, sire, thank you.”

She’d cut it to shoulder length. She’d still have to tie it, but her head feels lighter now.

“Hey, check it out, I’ve fallen in love with EXO.” Sandeul grins as he points to a wall speaker. Two Moons was playing and Isa runs over to the stereo and turns it off just as Sehun finishes singing his first set of lines; just in time to prevent her from hearing the deep voice of You-Know-Who.

“Hey, why’d you turn that off?” Sandeul cried out.

“It’s hot in here. Phew. We should listen to something that will make us feel cooler.”

“You’re kidding right? It rained non-stop this week. And what kind of music can make us feel cooler?”

“Kitaro.” Isa smiles as she slips in the CD. A melodious sound of the flute mixed with nature sounds fills the café. Several patrons look at Isa questioningly, but she ignores them with a blissful look on her face.

“You’re scaring away the customers. They might think we’re a teahouse or something.” Sandeul says, staring at Isa with a judging look on his face.

“Whatever. This is my CD anyway, right?” She waves the black-and-white MAMA CD in front of Sandeul, who rolls his eyes. “And Sandeul, we make bubble tea. Tea. We ARE a teahouse, so there.”

Sandeul isn’t listening anymore. He’s too busy flirting with a girl by the window.

A boy in school uniform comes up to Isa. “Can you please change the music? It’s making us really sleepy.”

“Umm, okay.”

“Ha!” Sandeul high-fives the kid. Fine, but I’m not putting MAMA back in there. Isa puts in Alive by BIGBANG instead. Blue starts playing and the kid nodded. “This is fine. BIGBANG FTW.” He said, then goes back to his table, putting on his earphones.

Isa and Sandeul stare after the boy. “WHAT. THE. F-“

“Hey, who changed the music? I like Kitaro.” Shinwoo, the late shift manager comes out of the backroom with a frown.

“Of course you would, you old bear.” Sandeul says in a whisper but Isa heard him. She stifles her laugh.

In between completing orders, Isa loves talking to Sandeul. He’s a really funny guy and you can ask him anything. Not that he has answers to them, but he’ll at least humor you, making jokes if he doesn’t know the answer. Try asking Shinwoo anything other than about the store and the conversation will probably last about 20 seconds.

“Hey Sandeul, have you ever had a follower before?”

“I have 213 on Twitter.”

“No, like, a physical follower.”

“Like when you do something and your little brother pretends he’s a mirror and he follows you? Yeah, I’ve had that happen.”

Isa facepalms. “I mean like a stalker.”

“Oh! No. Hey, why would you have a stalker? You’re not famous.”

“I know right? So I don’t think it was a stalker. Besides, it was blue.”

“Blue. You’ve been followed by a Smurf.”

“I thought that too but no. Smurfs wear hats. And they’re short. That… thing is kinda tall. Too tall to be a Smurf.”

“Well, what else is blue?”

“BIGBANG’s song?”

“So you’ve been followed by a song?”

“Well, the song IS hauntingly beautiful.” Isa tries to keep a straight face. Sandeul crosses his eyes at her and doesn’t even smile.

“Sandeul… Sandeul! Laugh at my joke.”

“That was a joke? Sounds like a fail to me.” And then he laughs at his own joke. “Burn!”

But Isa isn’t focusing on Sandeul anymore. The blue figure-it’s the same one, she’s sure of it, is walking towards the counter she’s standing at. It’s undeniably not a Smurf. It’s not a song either. It’s an EXO member.

“Hey.” Chanyeol says to her as he steps in front of her.

And that is how Song Isa died.

No just kidding. She got ran over by a bus.

Nope. Still kidding.

But Isa’s heart did skip a beat when she sees Chanyeol in his blue hoodie, SMILING at her. It skipped a VERY long beat.
