AUTHOR’S POV:

Just like the usual, the three best friends came in school in matching outfits and went to their room with some students trailing behind

them. Upon sitting in the stool, Dara glanced in her side to check if Jiyong’s already arrived. She will be returning the notebook she

asked for yesterday. The classroom was half- filled when someone appeared in the door and looked unusually familiar. All eyes were

glued on someone who was being awkward by the piercing looks that everyone is giving him. A series of “ooohs” and “aaahs” filled the

space of the four corner of the room. Plus some girl students from other sections are peeking and drooling at the sight of the “new

guy”. He started to walk to where he should be going and sat just at the back of Dara.

“Jiyong?” called Lizzy who is making sure that it really is Jiyong. He smiled at the petite lady, confirming her that it is really him.

Everyone gasp on how he looks now. They are like searching for answers why he changed his usual get- up. The girl in front of him is

also bewildered while staring at him like she has never seen him before. He gave her a genuine smile and met her eyes. She is holding

his notebook but too occupied in admiring his simple yet shocking transformation. He faked a cough to wake her up in her deep trance.

“O, Jiyong!” she clumsily stirred “here’s your notebook” and handed him back the thing that made her to talk at him “Thank you,

Jiyong!”

He reached for it and saw how she smiled at him like she already knew something. Of course, she did see his drawings but thankfully,

she did not bully him over that matter, instead, she gave it back without any words coming out from .

“Ghad! What’s wrong with you, Sandara Park?” she reprimanded herself. Too proud to admit that she finds Jiyong’s new look really

appealing. She focuses her mind around the classroom but she can still see him through her peripheral vision. Jiyong, on the other

side is pretending like he cannot see how Sandara feels so tense right now.

“Maybe because she does already know about my drawings” he concluded “there’s no way she would be jittery because of how I look

now, too impossible to happen, Jiyong” and he remembered how did he decided to go on a minor transformation.

----------------------------FLASHBACK---------------------

AUTHOR’S POV

“Noona, she talked to me” Jiyong told Dami out of nowhere while they are having their “siblings’ moment” at the Kwon’s mansion. Dami

is busy with her sketching of the clothes she designs for her own clothing line. She is a designer by profession, actually.

“Who talked to you?” Dami obliviously solicited to her younger brother. The two siblings grew closer to each other since their parents

have been so busy with their family businesses. Their family is into export and import industries, airlines, recruitment and entertainment

agencies. They even own a bank in Seoul, Korea that help small businesses and lend money to establishment that’s going on

bankruptcy. Their parents are really hands on with their living that’s why they grew up open about everything especially when it comes

to Jiyong’s life. For him, Dami is his first best friend aside before Seungri and his out of countries friends.

“SAN-DA-RA PARK talked to me” he answered back putting emphasis to each word that comes out into his mouth while a wide smile is

apparent in his face looking like he is contented and ready to die already.

“She did that?” his Noona’s attention is already with his “Omo, Jiyong what did you say?”

“Nothing” he shortly replied.

“Nothing?” Dami’s eyes are in full large upon hearing his answer “Jiyong, the girl you really love after you’ve circumcised talked to you

and you didn’t even say anything?”

“I was out of words” he reasoned out “It happened so fast. She walked towards me, greeted me and asked for my notes on Physics”

“You didn’t even say “Hi, Dara!”or “Hey, What’s up, baby girl?” the last one made Jiyong laugh.

“Easy for you to say that, Noona” then a boyish smile is washing away from his face and turned serious.

“What do you scared of, bro?” Dami put away what she’s been doing and faced her baby brother, “tell Noona what’s on your mind”.

“It could have been easy to say that if only I am cool” he looked into his Noona’s eyes like he’s asking for advice on what to do “I mean,

with appearance like this, there’s no way she’ll really take time noticing me”.

“Yah, Kwon Jiyong!” Dami clicks on his forehead “Pabo! If you’re thinking that you’re ugly, you better think again. I told you already for

how many times that you’re handsome. You just don’t know how to be more handsome as you are now”.

“Help me, Noona, please?” he pleaded to Dami “try that one you want to try on me”.

“Arasso” Dami did not think twice, pulled Jiyong from his chair and brought him to her personalized beauty room inside the mansion.

There, she happily trimmed and dyed Jiyong’s hair. And get rid of his spectacles “There!”

“Whoooah, Noona!” Jiyong stared at himself in the mirror, amazed on how Dami made him more attractive. He transformed from this to

that. Picture below:

After doing so, she give some fashion tips to his brother on what to wear since Jiyong is a fast learner, she is at ease and confident

that he will be more presentable and fashionable.

“Thank you, Noona! really really thank you!” he hugged his sister because of what she did to him, “I feel like more human, now”.

“But you should always bear it in your mind, there’s no more beautiful and handsome than a heart that has been loving so real from the

very beginning, Jiyong” Dami advises him “Always be yourself, baby bro” she winked at him, said good night and left him there.

----------------------------END OF FLASHBACK-------------------------------------

JIYONG’S POV:

“I will always be true to myself” I surely told to myself upon remembering what’s Noona told me, “and this is me and want to do to you

since day 1” I take something out from my sleeves pocket, breathes heavily and clicks on Dara’s shoulder from behind.

Dara turned to me and quickly handed her a letter. She accepted it and faces away from me. I could see from a short distance when

she opened it and read what’s written there using her eyes and mind. Shortly after, she returned it back to me only to be saddened by

what I see.

I’m a bit frustrated when she leaves it blank. I know that this is going to happen. What do I expect from her? What do I expect? Or

maybe I did something wrong with the way I wrote my invitation. Maybe I’m exaggeratingly cool to the point I sounded like I’m arrogant.

*sighs*

“My first time to ask a young lady out and I’ve been rejected” I self- pitied and look outside the window panel to erase the negative

thoughts inside my brain.

Our class goes on. But I cannot still get over my frustration. I want to try it out again. Ask her personally but I’m too shy to let her know

that it will complete my day if she will just say YES. Aish. Hopeless, Jiyong. You’re hopeless. But I’ve decided, I will pursue in inviting her

out, no matter what, by hook or by crook, Sandara Park. I heave a deep sigh and I’m about to call her name when suddenly.

KRRRRRRIIIIIIING! KRRRRRIIIIIIIIING! KRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIING!

“Saved by the bell” the bell rang. You see? Even the bell doesn’t go with me. *sighs*. Now, I lost my will to ask her one more time. I

watch her stand up from her seat and fix her hair. So, I stand up also, gather my things and wear my backpack. I lazily stride passing

her.

“Oh, you go first, girls…I have something to drop by” I even heard her say to her friends. She has something to drop by. Maybe that’s

the reason why she declined my invitation. Maybe, it’s important. She has valid reason though. But I’m hurt. *Ouch* I saw Jessica and

Sohee walking fast. I am 15 feet away already when I feel someone grabs my hand and when I turn to see who it was. I’m out of

words,AGAIN! I mean, what is it this time?

“Yah! It is not proper to leave a girl when you ask her for a lunch date, right?” she said half-serious, half-kidding.

“Eh?” I unmindfully blurted out, what lunch date is she talking about? Oh, does it mean it’s a YES “so you mean you’re coming with me?

I thought you don’t want to come…” I didn’t finish my words

“I want to tell it to you personally” she smiled. I was in disbelief. “so, ahmm, where are we going?”

“Ah, just wait and see” I excitedly uttered. We walk to where my car is park and drive to the restaurant I’m boasting to her earlier. It’s

not really far from the university and the owner is my cousin’s husband.

I’m too focus in my driving but I never forget to ask her if she’s okay. “We’re here!” I cheerfully announced. I went out of the car and go

on to her side and open the car for her.

“Thank you” she said. Whoooah! I love hearing her voice so soft. It’s like a melody in my ear. She look around, “Yeolbong?”

“Neh! Yeolbong!” and opened the entrance door to her with a smile never leaving my face. ^_^
