"Minho ah, I love you." ChaeWon said . "What, What did you just say?" Min Ho asked her in an emotional voice. "I love you. It

took me a while to realize it, but I do." She replied as her voice began to crack. At this moment the tears on her  face began

to mix with the rain.  "Her expression is undeniable". Min Ho thought. He could she her face clearly. He saw the dark trails

left from the fusion of rain, and tears that mixed with her mascara. Some was on her lip, but he didn't care. He finally heard

the words longed to see leave her lips. This was his chance for happiness, this was his chance to kiss her. But the sweet

atmosphere shattered, before their lips met by a loud voice. "YAH!!!!" "It can't be." MinHo thought to himself as he and

ChaeWon turned to see a girl. MinHo closed his eyes in frustration. He knew it was Suzy she was wearing her school

uniform she had on the first time they met. She was standing with something in her hand. Which led to MinHo knowing she

was going to cause trouble again. "Who are you?" questioned ChaeWon upset by Suzy Sudden rude behavior. "Get away

from him you harlot." Suzy yelled back at ChaeWon. "What, Yah!" ChaeWon now pissed was taking of her heel to throw at

Suzy when she was suddenly hit on the forehead by an egg. "Noona, Are you okay?" MinHo asked as he went to help

ChaeWon clean her face. MinHo turned to Suzy jumping up in joy of her successful strike. MinHo's eyes suddenly opened

as he broke free of his sleep. It's been two days since the night Suzy kissed him on the cheek then ran away before MinHo

could react leaving him in a shock. Causing JaeJoong and ChaeWon to laugh. "Aish, she's even messing up my dreams."

Fussed MinHo as he threw a small fit while throwing of his covers. He had to began to get dressed and ready for the day.

Today he had his audition for the leading role in a new drama. He was in high hopes of getting the role since he caught the

eye of the Director. Elsewhere Suzy was getting ready for school since the weekend has ended. She hadn't had contact

with MinHo since h that night she kissed him by surprise and ran and jumped on the bus. She fell back in her bed and

smothered her screams in her pillow frustrated with the thought of her actions.  Suzy got up toprepare for school then

hoped into her limo and rode off. From the moment she walked into her class she was surrounded by all the girls in the

room. She  met with a barrage of questions about MinHo. Immediately Suzy knew the source of commotion and shot a dirty

look to both NaEun and JiYoung. She pushed her way through the crow of girls and sat at her seat. The group followed her

waiting for answers to their questions. "Everyone come on, leave her alone you guys know she doesn't like being bothered.

MyungSoo said cutting through the crowd of girls. Which set off even more chatter among them. "Why does she get

MyungSoo, and the cute older guy." MyungSoo stopped by Suzy's desk and put his hand on it as he usually did. Suzy lifted

her head and gave MyungSoo an annoyed look. "You know I don't like being bothered and yet, you come and annoy me."

Suzy snapped. The door to the class room opened and Their teacher JoongKi entered. Okay everyone sit down and get your

things ready. MyungSoo gave Suzy a self-righteous smirk as he turned to go take his seat. Suzy thus turned her focus to

JoongKi. She Scanned his face, for any resemblance of MinHo and found little to nothing. It made her wonder about their

brotherly connection. "Even their personalities seem different." She thought to herself.  "Bae Suzy." JoongKi called out. "n

neh" Suzy stuttered being broken from her train of thought. "Come up here please." Suzy slowly stood up, she new why

she was called up. "I snuck a kiss from his brother, so it's only natural he has something to say about it right?" Suzy  

thought. "MianHae." Suzy quickly blurted upon reaching his desk. "Huh" "I'm sorry I kissed him, it just sort of happened

MianHae." Said with a bow. JoongKi began to laugh. "Suzy  don't worry about that. He's fine, and if he messes with you just

tell me. "Yeh" Suzy smiled. Now about what I called you up here for. Suzy showed her confusion with her widened eyes and

a lost expression. "Did you forget your book again, or is my brother rubbing off on you and you decided not to do your

work." Joked JoongKi "My book, oh no it's in my bag. I'll get it. Suzy returned to her desk. The rest of Suzy's day at school

went through the normal course. When she got home she saw MyungSoo's mother and her's, chatting in the living room.

She greeted the both of them and headed straight to her room. Around the same time Suzy got home MinHo had reached

the gates to the studio. "Yes may I help you? asked the guard. "Yes I'm here to audition for "The Bystander" He replied.

"Just head to set 12" MinHo thanked the guard and went on his way. In the Hangar Director Bae was sitting Behind a desk

speaking with the casting director. "MinJong ah, you are going to love this kid. I knew he was perfect for the role from the

moment I saw him. MinHo walked in and approached the table the directors sat at. "Annyeong Hasaeyo, my name is Lee

MinHo . He said with a bow. " "Alright" said director Bae Standing up and going over to speak with MinHo. "So you will be

playing the role of Park JiHoon. You are a ghost who falls for the female lead, but being a ghost you are unable to interact

with people. In this scene you realize you are a ghost and can't be seen nor heard by your family. Though he was nervous

MinHo did his best to calm himself and deliver a strong performance. Which won him the applause of both directors.

Director Bae was the first to stand up and approach him. "Great job, you did really good. Yah Kim MinJong get over here. I

told you he would do good. Director Kim approached MinHo and shook his hand. "How are you, you did pretty well. With

some guidance, and experience you could be a great actor. MinHo was at a lost for words. Here he was shaking hands and

being praised by Kim MinJong. Thank you, thank you he said while bowing respectfully to both directors. "Alright so our

next step is to finish casting." "So I need you to come in tomorrow so you can help us find the lead actress." Director Bae

told MinHo. MinHo said thank you and goodbye to the directors. He walked outside and called ChaeWon. "Noona I got the

part!" MinHo happily exclaimed. "MinHo ah that's great. We should call JaeJoong then go out and celebrate." ChaeWon

happily said. (Later that night)  "Suzy ah" "Yeh" "Come down stairs so we can talk." Suzy went down stairs and found both

her parents sitting at the kitchen table. Her father was smiling. "Yeh Abeoji." Suzy said. "Sit down I have good news. "What

is it?" she asked with a smile. At work today, I was talking to MinJong and we agreed, that after this school year when you

graduate. You and MyungSoo should get married." "Appa!" Suzy said surprised by the sudden decision. I know you've liked

him since you were young. So me and MinJong came to the agreement to push for your marriage. Your mother and his

talked about it making arrangements today as well." Suzy slammed her has on the table and stood up. "I won't marry him!"

Suzy was fuming, she couldn't believe her parent were making the decision on who she marries. Both her parents looked

at her in shock. "You can't make me marry him" She cried out frantically. "The decision has already been made." Her

father said sternly while turning away from her. "This is good for you." her mother chimed in. "Eomma!" "You used to like

MyungSoo allot. What happened." "If you make me marry that jerk I'll leave." Suzy said with tears beginning to fall from her

eyes. "Good." Her father yelled while standing up. "If you aren't going to follow instructions then I don't  want you here.

"Yeobo!" Suzy's mom interrupted trying to calm her husband. Suzy left the table and ran out the front door. Her mother got

up to stop Suzy, but her arm was grabbed by her husband. "Forget it, She will comeback." Suzy's mother looked with a

worried expression as Suzy's back faded out of view and Director Bae went to close the door. Later MinHo was leaving the

restaurant followed by ChaeWon and JaeJoong. "ChaeWon jumped on MinHo's back and began ruffling his hair. "Aish, yah"

MinHo blurted out. "Aigo, someone became a leading actor and now, he doesn't like being touched. Prompting JaeJoong to

laugh. "Ah MinHo what happened to that cute little girl who always follows you around." "Is she the only one allowed to

touch you now." JaeJoong joked MinHo pushed free of ChaeWon's grasp, and began straightening his hair. "MinHo you

should probably get going. I'll take ChaeWon home." ChaeWon turned and gave JaeJoong a surprised look. "Wae." Well

since I am who I am, it's only right. JaeJoong responded. MinHo rolled his eyes and turned to leave. He waved his hand

goodbye to his friends, and headed down the road. Tonight was an unusually cold night. "I should have worn a thicker

jacket or warmer clothes. " MinHo muttered to himself. He walked non stop for a while. Until he was around the corner

from his Apartment. He heard a noise coming from the alley beside him. He turned to see a person crouching and holding

their knees while sniffling. "Hey is everything okay?" he called out but didn't get any answer. He stepped closer and

recognized the figure was Suzy. She didn't have much on and was out in the cold. "Suzy ah, are you okay." She still didn't

say anything. "Yah, stop making trouble and come out. Finally reaching Suzy he kneeled beside her. Her eyes were cold and

she seemed to be shivering pretty badly. "Suzy ah!" MinHo said worriedly while trying to awaken her. "Why are you out here

in the cold like this?" he said while taking of his jacket and putting it on her. He then lifted her on his back and began

walking towards his apartment. "Oppa" Suzy mumbled but MinHo ignored her. Her grip tightened as she rested her head on

his back. "You still aren't finished pretending we already reached the house." MinHo said while opening the door to his

apartment. He took Suzy to the spare  bedroom and tucked her in. He turned and left the room. Suzy quickly closed her

eyes when she saw MinHo returning. He re entered the room and walked over to her sat in a chair he got from the kitchen

and sat in it. "Yah, open your mouth." He said. Suzy didn't say anything trying to continue her rouse. "I know you are faking,

so sit up so I can take your temperature." Suzy opened one eye and looked at MinHo. He smirked and rolled his eyes. Suzy 

sat up and MinHo handed her the thermometer. A few moments later MinHo grabbed the thermometer, her temperature

was a little high but all in all she was fine. "So you want to tell me why you were out in the cold." MinHo started. "I didn't

have anywhere else to go." Suzy saw the confused looked on MinHo's face. So she continued and told him everything that

happened. Hearing Suzy's explanation MinHo could help but draw comparison's to his own life and relationship with his

father. MinHo didn't know what to do. He didn't want to kick her out, but he knew his father was on the way and didn't want

him to see Suzy and overreact.. "KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK." Both MinHo and Suzy looked up in surprise. "Aish." MinHo said

with a worried look.
