PROLOGUE

            "What...?

            "You are brea-" Tears just fell together with my umbrella. The rain shed my tears away as I look down and see my shoes soaking in water. I look up again and see his back, he's moving away now. He's walking in slow motion but the rest of the people around us are moving faster by the minute. I look up the dark rainy night sky and cried as much as I could handle. Cried as much as I could, and cried as much as I wanted. 

            I feel like the people around me move so fast, everything was blurry. The more blurry it gets, the clearer the flashbacks are. Suddenly I see a man running towards me. As he was getting closer, everything was becoming clear and I'm coming back to my senses and- *BOOMDFAHJAJ*

            I suddenly fell down to the ground . My bag and phone dropped down and got wet. I see my elbow wounded and I looked up.

            "Miss, are you ok?" A masked boy asked me. "I'm so sorry I was in a hurry and-" He took off his mask. "- I'm just really sorry." His eyes widened in total shock.

            I just turned my head to the right and stare right into his eyes. If I were in my normal mood, I could've punched this kid.

            "Miss? Miss?" He shakes me.

            "Ugh, yeah... I'm alright." I now came back to my senses and signaled an 'ok' with my fingers. He helped me get up and bowed in front of me and said sorry five times.

            "I'm really ok though." I said honestly, except for my wound. I don't like blood, but I hid my elbow for him not to see. Then he just flashed a very pretty smile. The way the two end of his mouth met his ears, how his cheekbones rose up together with his eyes that became two crescent moons. He was obviously relieved.

            And for no obvious reason I run away from him. Not even giving him a chance to explain or anything. He was the least of my priorities and I don't really care at all. And in a blink of an eye, everything was blurry again. As I look back, I can see him going up the bus. He carries a guitar on his back and is dressed in all black. 

            My phone suddenly rang. It's Nana. She's having a party again at her loft. Well, I could really use a drink. But the thing is I don't drink. I can't say i do not like the taste because I, for one, have not tasted one. Whenever someone's asking me for a drink, I just remember my parents and how they will be upset if ever I accepted drinks. While walking all the way to Nana's loft, I remember the guy-the one that bumped into me a while ago, his smile was priceless. He could be hanged up next to Mona Lisa and Mona Lisa wouldn't even be noticed. I just shook my head as if erasing the memory of his smile.

            As I walk inside Nana's loft, all I hear is loud music. Apparently a band is playing on stage and the disco lights Nana and I bought a week ago is used tonight. Nana's loft is very huge. It contains a bar, a stage, and a huge wall covered with a huge mirror, the rest of the walls are painted blood red. I tried to find Nana and as always, she's on the dance floor y dancing. "Nananananana banananaa!" I shouted hoping she could hear me. And as if I was a thunder, she was shocked.

            "Ohh~ ya~ Soo~oojin-ah!" She came to me obviously tipsy. She rolled my hair in her fingers and whispered "Soo~oo~OooO~jin... glad u came." I know her drunk voice. She is definitely drunk. How can I tell her what happened today if she is that drunk. "Soojin~ drink this." She handed me a shot and I rejected her. "Come one, baby." She is now forcing me and putting the shot glass is my mouth.

            "I said i don't dwinfk." I said while my lips are on the shot glass. I pulled her away and she looked at me seriously.

            'I know what happened." Nana said in a I-may-look-drunk-ok-I-am-drunk-but-I-know-when-my-friend-is-feeling-down voice.

            I just... I just cried on her chest. I howled and then sobbed and made weird noises.

            "How did you know?" I cried.

            "Come one, Lee Sungmin is very famous in school. He has lots of sasaeng fans. It's all over SNS. They even have photos of you. You seemed lost. How is my baby?" She caressed my hair like an owner would to her dog. I hugged her with my arms around her shoulders. She is a tall girl. I buried my face into her chest and cried.

            "There there." Nana patted me on the back while I'm face is mostly on her s. "I'm here forya Soojin-ah. I still love you~ I'm here."

            "I love you Nana." I sobbed. 

            Nana took me in the center on the dance floor and she succeeded in forcing me to drink. Oh God I drank like there was no tomorrow!

            "I LOVE DRINKEN'!" I shout at the top of my voice while my hands up in the air, one hand holding a shot glass. 

            I danced.

            I danced.

            I danced.

            And danced.

            I was bloody sweaty. The dancing was over and a rock band came up on stage. The people settled down and find their own seats. Apparently, this band is very famous underground. Everyone around me started clapping and howling. Nana herself is a fan. While everybody is busy looking forward to the act. I don't know if this is due to the alcohol or the break up but it's getting blurry around here again. Not to mention hot. I took off few buttons from my blouse and fanned myself. My eyeballs searching the whole loft. Searching for nothing. But suddenly a person in black on stage was the only thing clear.

            The band started assembling their respective instruments while the lead vocalist was just standing in front of the mic stand relaxing while holding the mic with two hands and his head looking up the ceiling exposing his sculpture-like adam's apple. Once the stage was all set, and like rehearsed, the lead vocalist removed his mask without looking back, his lower lip then smiled. Wait just a darn minute....

            I know that smile.
