After Effect

Secret: Between The Two Idols

"Okay... So brought me flower when I'll see you at the dinner party, won't you?" Kyuhyun asked with a determination in his face. You chuckled because now you knew that he's funny. "You come to our party right?" Kyuhyun continued to ask you since you didn't answered him on the first place.

As soon as Kyuhyun asked you that, you could see Siwon slowly turned his head to Kyuhyun and gave him an eye code that you can’t interpret. But after that he just turned to you again, "You're coming, right?" He said it with smile.

What disappointed you the most was the fact that he's smiled but his eyes didn't have the same smile as his lips like he always do. And they say we can see someone's heart through his eyes right?

 

...


What disappointed you the most was the fact that he's smiled but his eyes didn't have the same smile as his lips like he always do.

Your chin started to tremble. "I'm sorry, I can't. My.. ehm... friend is waiting for me. I have to go. Once again thank you for having me, I enjoy your concert. Thank you." You bowed several time and stepped backwards.

"I'll take you to your car...”

"No, it's fine. I'm fine." You cut Siwon right away. You waved to them and left.

You really didn't know if you have the right to feel sad. You know you two are grown up people that he must be never intended to hurt you and you shouldn't take anything on its negative side. He may be really wanted to meet you and mend the relationship that his parent and you're parent have and he happen to have a concert in the same week so he just kindly invited you to his concert. He really are a big star that he didn't have much time to treat you after his concert and since it was the team and family dinner party, you're not invited in the first place so he didn't ask you to go.

That was the objective side of your mind. But if you really think that way, you shouldn't have to try so hard to hold ton of tears behind your eyes right now. It was your subjective side of your mind who took control.

He might be truly excited when saw you for the first time, want you to come to his concert to made sure you know his position and how you were such a tiny little part of his life. Yet he still made you wait and never really have a proper conversation with you and always let anybody else interrupted you. The last one was, he clearly told you that you weren't that important to be invites to his dinner party.




"Darn!!"

You threw your papers on your desk on Monday evening. It's already 8.11 pm and you still stuck in your office because of urgent matter. Your mind wasn't on its right place since yesterday's event. You couldn't get some sleep until 5 in the morning and got up at 7, dizzy as hell and completely missed your morning jog session in order come on time to work.

Your phone ringed. It was Hyerin.

"Yah! I'm waiting at the gym by myself! Where are you?"

"I don't think I can make it today. I have to get something done tonight."

"You got your employee, told them to get those things done!" You chuckled. "I’m already warming up anyway, so I'll stay here. If you can make it, call me before you came here."

"Okay, Bye...” You put down your phone.

Your assistant was about to leave you alone when your father came to your office uninformed.

"What's happening?" He asked.

You sunk on your chair since your father never really meddle on your work whenever you guys were in the office. He made a clear border on your relationship as one of the board director and his company representative in the office, and as a father and daughter in home.

"The advertisement for the RiverSide residence was going through a major revision. It supposed to be air next Saturday and Sunday. A few broadcast televisions already in contract to air it in different time slot. They should receive the advertisement on Tuesday till Thursday. But the advertisement was not ready until Friday or Saturday."

You explained and lost your breath in the process.

"And why does your whole department have to stay at the office in this hour?" Asked your father calmly.

"We can't delay the airing date since the properties price will be raising on Monday. We have to make the advertising done at least Wednesday."

"Do your employees have to stay at the office too?" Asked your father, now rather firmly. He turned to your assistant. "Sent everybody’s home but told them to come to work an hour early and divide them into two group, one group must find a conclusion on how to make the adv company could done the advertisement on Wednesday, while the other group must find another solution what can we do on Saturday and Monday to raise the selling number without the adv since it was our selling time. The person that got their idea selected and can be done, shall receive their quarter monthly wage as a reward." He stole a glance to you and back to your assistant. "That's it. You're dismissed. Thank you. You work hard today. Please be careful as you go home."

As your assistant left your room, "Dad! That's my job...”

"Just use our previous cluster adv if that doesn't work, you just need to add the rolling scribe bellow to explain the new cluster." He went to your chair. "You look exhausted. Let's just go home." He’s smoothening your hair.

"I can't, I have to go to the gym." You pouted and your Dad held you before he went home himself.



You run endlessly at the treadmill, without even bother to drink or wipe your sweat.

"Yah! Yah! Slowdown...” Said your personal trainer while unplugged your earphone. Hyerin who run beside you stole a glance.

"I need to cut down some fat here." You said and pinched some fat on your thigh.

"Then we'll make program out of it.. Don't exhaust yourself like th..."

"I didn't have the time to jogging this morning." You cut your personal trainer. "Anyway... Do you have any dance class at these hours?"

"We don't, but I can arrange it for you, if you want to.”

"Oh please do. I already had a song in my mind too. It's a current pop song. So it's kind of like girls groups dance." You said and stepped away from the treadmill. He then left you to find the dance trainer.

Hyerin followed you, she stepped down her treadmill and walked beside you.

"So how's work? Did everything settled down?" She asked.

"Kind of..." You absentmindedly walked into the health club's dance studio. You usually use this room for yoga on Wednesday night.

"You know... We knew each other since junior high." She helped you bend your back while you're trying to touch your toe with your fingers. She tried to emphasized that she knows something on your life doesn't going well right now. You know what she tried to tell you but you kept on silent. "Don't drown yourself on work or sports okay... Just forget about the backstage." You didn't even tell her what you're feeling that time, but you guess her guessed it anyway.

"I can't even sleep last night. I need to get on my senses." You laid on the wooden floor, looked at the ceiling, it’s warm. Hyerin hovered above you, block the light came to your eyes. "He promised to call me, but he didn't even send a message to me." You said avoiding Hyerin’s eyes. “I’m the one who belittle his profession since I knew him on the first place, but the one who felt belittled because of his profession last night was me. I never felt so small like last night.”

"That's why I didn't allow you to intentionally meet him in the first place. You have a tendency to fall for someone although you don't love him." She also laid beside you.

"Thank god we're going to Singapore next Friday." You said.

"It's for business seminar. What's fun about it? I didn't even finish my school but I have to come with you to a business seminar."

You laughed and close your eyes. “You do want the shopping right?”





It's Wednesday night, you were just finished your yoga class session and about to change your clothes after you took a shower at home. You rummaged through your bag and found your phone when it had a missed call from international number, it looks like from Malaysia. Assumed it was an important call you call that number back but there're no answer. About two minute after, your phone rang, it was from the same number.

"I'm sorry I was just took a bath." Said the person from the other line. He said it in Korean and his voice seems familiar. "Shin ____?"

"Oh, yes. Siwon sshi?" You asked doubtfully.

Chapter 49: I come here again to read your updates .
One of my favorite writers and stories .
That's not the end that we would like in the fiction world , but this end makes the story more related to the real life , that not all things that we want goes as we do , and that not all love stories will end happyly ever after .
I've enjoyed reading this story so much and thankful for you for publishing this story nomatter what you had gone through during these years .

Chapter 49: This is a sad story...I almost think it would be better if she had fallen for kyuhyun instead because kyuhyun always seems to know what to do...Siwon honestly tried and didn't intend to hurt her, but he's just dense and slow.

Chapter 48: This story is one of my favorites, yes it made me a bit frustrated that Simon was so dense and in a way I hoped that she would fall for Kyu and just stayed with him but agdhif this is just a lovely story and I keep reading it and it never gets old. I will look forward to the epilogue but even with the ending the angst is quite good
