Looking From Afar

An Angel's Promise To The Sky
SORA-YA, 
 
I don't know how to face you while I'm saying this without letting my real emotions  out. Call me a coward but I just don't want you to see me crying about this. But, Princess, I have to stay away from you for now, the circumstances that I'm in right now is forcing me to do something that is really breaking my heart in peices. Oppa has a lot of appointments theres coming days so I won't be able to see you. 
 
There might be even more news that you might hear about me these coming days and I might do or say something that will hurt you but please, believe in me. Remember that I love you so much and you are the only woman for me... my other half, Park Sora.
 
I will miss you so much, nae aegi gongzhu...
 
♥ Your Man, Jungsoo
 
Sora remembered the letter Leeteuk left when she woke up the next morning and found out that he had left her place already. It's been a month since they last saw each other and MBC has been in strike for more than two months now.
 
"Yah! Sora-ssi, are you alright?" one of her friends, Nam Bora asked her, 
 
Sora kept close relationship with her co - stars at Sunny and they have agreed to meet up when they have clear schedules, just like today. They are spending their time at a coffee shop near her apartment, sitting with Bora and another friend, Min Hyorin.
 
"Were you saying something, eonnie?" Sora asked her friend and gave her full attention to them,
 
It's not as if I can solve anything like that if Jungsoo oppa won't tell me anything...
 
"I told you, Bora-ya. Our dongsaeng is spacing out right now. She didn't hear your question to her." Hyorin said,
 
"Mianhe, I was just thinking about something. What were you saying?" Sora asked Bora again,
 
Bora looked at her and smiled, "Well, you mentioned that you were friends with Jung Jinwoon, right?" she told,
 
"Yeah, he was a classmate of mine in college before he became a singer in 2AM." Sora explained,
 
"So, that means he became an idol after you?" Hyorin asked her,
 
"Ani, he told us that he head been training and performing already and been signed up with JYP while we were in college. So he went before me."
 
"I hope you won't mind if we invite you to watch Strong Heart today then? I'm looking forward to meet Jinwoon-ssi and I would like to ask for your help to let me meet him." Bora pleaded to Sora,
 
"Sora-ya, you see, she's been like that when she saw that Jinwoon guy and went ecstatic when she found out that he is one of your friends." Hyorin informed Sora,
 
"Sora-ya, would you please give me this opportunity to meet Jinwoon? Come with us when we watch Strong Heart later. I heard Jinwoon will be there today." Bora said again, holding her hand tightly,
 
Sora sighed deeply before replying to her eonnie, "Arasso, I will introduce you to Jinwoon-ssi when we see him later."
 
When they reached the station and got their position on the studio set where Strong Heart is. All of the guests are just waiting for it to go for the take when Sora spotted Leeteuk sitting among the panel with the guests of the show.
 
"Omona! I forgot Jungsoo oppa is here as well." Sora uttered while holding out of suprise of seeing Leeteuk again,
 
Leeteuk also spotted Sora on the audience and wondered without taking his eyes of her, "Why is Sora-ya here? Why didn't she tell me that she's going to see me?" he thought.
 
Leeteuk was about to walk towards Sora but Jinwoon got there before  him,
 
"Sora-ssi, oraeganmanieyo!" Jinwoon greeted her and hugged her really tight, "How are you?" he then asked,
 
"I'm doing good, Jinwoon-ssi. How's your famed life doing? Are you enjoying the limelight?" Sora asked and smiled at Jinwoon,
 
"Yeah, but I should ask you instead since you are getting more popular as the day passes. You are all over the television with your CFs and shows." Jinwoon said in return,
 
"Well, you can say that and because of that, Jinwoon-ssi, I would like you to meet my eonnies, Nam Bora and Min Hyorin. They were with me when I was doing the film Sunny." Sora informed Jinwoon and they he exchanged pleasantaries with the two women,
 
Jinwoon then turned to Sora and whispered to her, "Sora-ya, have you seen him? Leeteuk hyung is here with us." Jinwoon then informed Sora,
 
Sora ignored what Jinwoon told her but took a glance at where Leeteuk is and she saw that he is looking back at her with sad eyes,
 
Then someone broke her from staring at Leeteuk when she felt a light tapping of her back and she saw Yoo Seungho standing next to her, smiling.
 
"Sora-ssi, how are you? Are you friends with Korea's latest idol, Jung Jinwoon?" Seungho said and smiled at Jinwoon,
 
"Seungho-ssi, annyeong haseyo! Yeah, Jinwoon was my former classmate," Sora then said,
 
The production crew called upon the guests of Strong Heart to take their seats to start the show.
 
"Oh yeah, Jinwoon-ssi, since you are our latest idol. I would like to ask you some questions and I'm sure that your growing number of fans are interested to know this too. Do you have someone whom you want to work with among the roster of stars that we have?" one of the hosts asked Jinwoon,
 
"Well, I haven't worked with her professionally but she is a close friend of mine." Jinwoon said, Leeteuk having an idea of whose name he will say,
 
"So there is one, who would that be?" the host asked again,
 
"Kang Sora..." Jinwoon said and slightly glanced at Leeteuk to see his reaction,
 
Leeteuk is staring at him darkily...
 
"Yes, Kang Sora-ssi." the host said and turned to the audience to acknowledge her presence but didn't announce that she is in the studio,  then he turned to Seungho who was also looking at the audience at Sora,
 
"Seungho-ssi, didn't you get to kiss Sora-ssi on her first movie? You're a lucky guy to have her first onscreen kiss." 
 
All of the audience laughed including some of the guests but Leeteuk was all serious while looking at Seungho.
 
"Teuk hyung, gwenchana?" Eunhyuk, who was sitting beside him asked,
 
"Ne, I'm fine." Leeteuk simply answered his dongsaeng but his eyes are looking at somewhere else,
 
"What are you staring at?" Eunhyuk asked again and followed where Leeteuk was looking, "Seungho-ssi? What's with him?"
 
"Nothing..."
 
"Hyung-ah, don't tell me you're jealous of him?" Eunhyuk told the Super Junior Leader,
 
Leeteuk turned his attention to Eunhyuk and glared at him, "Mweo? What are you saying there, Lee Hyukjae?Me? Jealous? I'm never jealous! Why would I? And with that guy? No, sir. I'm not!"
 
"Eyyy, hyung I don't mean to - "
 
"Why would I be jealous of that guy? Just because she got Sora-ya's on screen kiss? Should I tell you that I got Sora's real -" Leeteuk said continuously to his dongsaeng,
 
"Yah! Leeteuk hyung, geumanhae!" Eunhyuk said and held Leeteuk's arm to stop him from saying more,
 
Leeteuk closed his eyes and calmed himself up. Boom noticed Leeteuk and turned his attention to him, 
 
"Speaking of Sora-ssi, Leeteuk here is her husband, right? How are things between the two of you?" Boom asked him,
 
Leeteuk sighed heavily before automatically smiled at him and said, "We haven't seen each other yet.", then he glanced towards the audience where Sora was sitting,
 
"Did the two of you get into a fight?" Boom asked again,
 
Leeteuk wittingly smiled before answering, "We are on strike, so I don't see her that much."
 
But I miss her everyday...
 
Sora and her friends went backstage to greet Jinwoon and they saw him having a chat with Seungho. They went ahead and greeted the two guys,
 
"Hello again, Jinwoon-ssi, Seungho-ssi." Sora said and bowed slightly at them.
 
"Sora-ssi, it's been a long time since we've seen each other, right?" Seungho said and wrapped his arms around Sora's shoulder,
 
Sora then releases herself from it and looked at Jinwoon for some help from Seungho but what she saw was what's looking at her behind Jinwoon,
 
It was Leeteuk, a few meters away from them looking at her.

The Fading of Bright Stars

In the years we shared work spaces, seldom did our hours crossed. She worked night shifts, while I move around across different time zones to meet the demands of my profession. She was a luminary; a survivor of countless excisions when the demands of work is lesser than what is required of human resources. And if not for the months-long infirmity last year, she would have endured the most recent culling. She became part of the statistics, only to return when a colleague flew abroad to get married and live with her fiancé.

A fine lady in her early 30's, one would easily mistake her for an East Asian. Her eyes disappear when she smiles, and her porcelain skin is the envy of many. Her gauntly frame, albeit a cause of concern, hardly bothers any. Colleagues would tell she eats nothing but Chippy and Coke. But who are we to forbid her of such pleasures? She delivers, and for all we care, satisfied are we of her job performance.

Talk is an avocation the two of us hardly engage. Reason lies in office hierarchy, but more so, because we respect each other's solitary leanings. But this doesn't mean ambivalence, or hidden disdain. Words may have never articulated what my thoughts were, but I've always regarded her in high esteem.
