JB'S POV

 

We were shooting for the last scene already. Jiyeon didn’t quite like what I told her about Jihoo earlier. I shouldn’t have told her if I knew this would happen.

 

 

 

*Flashback*

 

“What?”

 

 

He said, “Let go of Jiyeon. She will never be in the same page as you, you’ll just keep hurting.”

 

 

“He remembered me as well? But why was he talking like that? He’s so unlike the Jihoo that we knew.”

 

 

“I know right,”

 

 

“What did you say?”

 

 

“Nothing. Instead, I went back to him and punched him straight in the face!”

 

 

“YAH! You’re being inconsiderate! He’s sick, for pete’s sake, JB! ”

 

 

“I regretted what I did the moment he started getting seizures right after,”

 

 

“And what’s his condition now?”

 

 

“He’s critical,”

 

 

“Ohmygawd JB!”

 

 

“But he deserved that punch! He shouldn’t be saying that!”

 

 

 

“Are you out of your mind? Maybe Jihoo’s right, just let me go!”

 

 

Then we were called by our director already before finishing up our conversation properly.

 

*end of flashback*

 

 

My phone rang. I answered. The hospital called and told me that Jihoo’s better now. He’s stable and out of the critical stage. I sighed in relief. I asked if he already remembers anyone, but the doctor said that he still didn’t know anyone. Back to Square one.

 

 

I’ll just visit him again tonight. Everything will be okay because it’s Jihoo. As long as it’s him, nothing will go wrong. That’s Jihoo we’re talking about. 

 

 

Jiyeon passed by me without throwing a glance, not giving me any hint of recognition from her. I thought by opening to her, she’ll understand how I truly feel for her. But it didn’t turn out the way I wanted. So instead of making up with her, nothing has changed, she was still ignoring me. That, I still can withstand but what I didn’t expect or should I say I couldn’t even imagine was the fact that she already gave everyone a hug while I didn't receive any! Like seriously? How could she do this to me? Technically speaking, I'm still her boyfriend after all! So even just for old time’s sake, she could’ve given me a hug too. I can’t let it go away just like that! I had to at least try to find a way! I’m not that ert or anything like that but I’m just exercising my rights, okay?!! I hope that’s clear enough! Moving on, I waited for the right timing to finally get the hug that I deserve from her as well!

 

 

Jinwoon hyung was stating his final voice-over to officially conclude our last taping. Jiyeon was positioned near Jinwoon hyung and I, so I thought this was the perfect timing for that yearning hug! After everything is finally over, when our director says “cut” for the last time, I’ll squeeze Jinwoon hyung first then followed by hugging Jiyeon so it’ll not look like it was deliberately planned, for it to look natural. Yay! Perfect plan, right? Wish me luck!

 

 

“CUT!”

 

 

I jumped triumphantly as Jinwoon hyung ended his voice-over at last! Now, all I had to do was carry out my plan! And oh, it looked like luck was on my side ‘cause everything flowed smoothly, Jinwoon hyung jumped with me as well and he took the initiative to hug me or should I say squeeze me! Oh yeah! First step, success!  Oops, don’t think of any malicious thoughts, I don’t feel THAT way towards Jinwoon hyung, it’s just that he’s really helping me succeed with carrying out my plan! And now, Jiyeon was even approaching us after she hugged someone else! Gaaaa. I had to make up my mind and accomplish everything as planned! This could be my last chance! Silly and childish but who cares!  Think anything you wanted to think about me, all I care about now is that I needed that hug!

 

 

She’s nearing already..

 

 

I was starting to get really nervous! I hope everything would go as planned.

 

 

She’s now in front of me! Now’s the right time!

 

Three..

 

Two..

 

One!

 

 

I took a deep breath. I blocked her, secretly wishing that she would hug me now just like the one I saw she just hugged earlier!

 

 

But unfortunately, I couldn’t keep the luck on my side ‘cause as I was trying to block her way, she started pushing me away from her gradually; as she whispered, “You’re not getting it, you will never understand..”

 

 

With that, she turned to our director who was just beside us and gave him a hug, RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME! She did that purposely to mock me! That was a fatal blow to me - how she implied that she could hug anyone but me, her boyfriend! I was inches away from succeeding in my plan but ugh. I couldn’t help but scream, “WOOOOO!”

 

 

Even though I screamed like that, I was like invisible to her in there. She didn’t notice it since she was busy talking with our director. And instead of her noticing me, one of the crews noticed rather, how I bawled after seeing her hug someone else, after ignoring me just like that, after failing miserably with my wanting to get a hug from her! That same crew mimicked how I howled, “WOOOOO” and also hugged me from the back right after, completing the teasing package he had planned for me. Was I that obvious? He did see through me, that I was frustrated with not getting a hug from Jiyeon that’s why he came up with the teasing plan instead. Yeah, my perfect plan backfired. Ugh. Perfect plan, my ! That was the perfect plan to be teased by this annoying crew! Fail JB! FAIL!

 

 

She was still busy talking with our director when we were called for our final photo shoot. I looked at her for the last time, wishing that she would change her mind, but the crew was starting to tease me again which was why I had no luxury to wait for her. I then decided to just follow along everyone who was going to the venue of the photo shoot which was the hall just adjacent to our current location.

 

After a while, when everyone already arrived and positioned comfortably for the photo shoot, altogether, we shouted, “G-MINORRRRRRRRR”

 

 

*Click* *click**click*

 

 

We showed various poses as flashes from the different cameras everywhere were heard after we said the infamous line of Jin Yoojin, “G-minor.”  You see, we kinda developed the habit of using that catch phrase in taking photos. Funny, huh? But Yeah, that’s reality.

 

 

After the photoshoot, we all gave our final greetings for each other; hugged each other again. My eyes caught Jiyeon’s eyes that were starting to get teary. We have really grown attached with each of the cast and crew of dream high 2, so it's not surprising to see her getting this emotional, it must’ve been really hard for her to part with everyone. It's hard to imagine Park Jiyeon being like that because of her cold image. But that's just her front.. You see, at first, she must’ve been really hard to approach but when you get to know her, when she started to consider you as a friend, you’ll be the most precious being in her life. And that’s what I felt towards how she treats everyone in here, her most precious treasures. And that’s how I felt when I was with her as well. Not until I hurt her.

 

 

 I just looked at her, sighing. I just couldn’t get a hold of her anymore.

 

 

When our eyes met, she approached me instantly and surprisingly got my long-awaited hug from her. Just when I thought I failed miserably, here she was snuggled to me!

 

That was an unexpected twist of fate. Luck might not be on my side but fate was.

 

 

While we were locked in each others’ arms, I felt her tears wetting my shirt already. I the back of her, to comfort her.

 

 

“JB..”

 

 

“It’s okay..” my voice croaked, I felt my eyes sting at the same time. I wish I could take her pain away.

 

 

Not long after..

 

 

 “You can let go now,” she whispered, almost hesitantly.

 

 

“But..”

 

 

“People are staring suspiciously at us now,”

 

 

“Oh,” was all I could say.

 

 If I only considered about my image, I would’ve told her to let the people continue staring; I really don’t care how they see me but we have to consider essentially Jiyeon’s image. Her reputation is of utmost importance. I wouldn’t want to let her hard-earned status to be stained just like that. She’s up there already, I wouldn’t want to contribute to anything that’ll make her down.

 

I couldn’t help but sigh heavily as I broke free from our embrace.

 

“See you later?” I said.

 

“Huh?”

 

“Same place. Same time.”

 

With that, we took our separate ways for the mean time. We’ll see each other later anyway. Although I didn’t receive any response from her, I knew she’ll come. I’ll wait until she comes.

 

 

 

I waited. And she came. I was right.

 

 

“Make this brief. We still had to attend the after-party.”

 

 

“Jiyeon.. there’s this one thing that you need to know…” She must know. After all, this was the main reason why we grew apart.

 

 

“What else should I know about you?”

 

 

“Never had it crossed my mind, dating someone like Sora noona. Not once, not ever…”

 

 

“I know.”

 

 

“WHAT?”

 

 

“But you just did.”

 

 

“But it’s not my will. You must’ve heard from Ailee already that it was our producer’s wish.”

 

 

“Yeah. That’s what I’ve heard,”

 

 

“Then WHY?” Why was she still cold towards me? We could just be together again and put everything in the past.

 

 

“This is for the better JB.”

 

 

“How is that suppose to make things better?”

 

 

“We’ll not be seeing each other anymore after this anyway, so..”

 

 

“We could work this out Jiyeonaahh,”

 

 

“JB. Let’s not make this any harder for the both of us,”

 

 

“NO! Jiyeon! I don’t understand!”

 

 

“See? You don’t understand. We don’t understand each other anymore. All I know is that we need to give ourselves space.”

 

 

“Then make me understand Jiyeonaahh, I can’t lose you..”

 

 

“No. Let me go.”

 

 

“Are you really breaking up with me this way?”

 

 

“I have to, you deserve someone better.”

 

 

“Bull! Cut that crap Jiyeonah! I know you still love me!”

 

 

She appeared shocked. I never saw her like that before.

 

 

“Sorry for cursing but I don’t know anyone who’s better than you…”

 

 

“It could just be anyone JB. But not me.. What I did was misjudge you.. Accuse you.. Hurt you..  You don’t deserve someone like me..”

 

 

“Why can’t we just put everything in the past and start anew?”

 

 

“It’ll never be the same again..”

 

 

“We’ll never know unless we try.”

 

 

“It’ll never work. We already tried and look at what happened.”

 

 

“But..”

 

 

“I’m sorry JB..” With that, she left me.
