I unlocked the front door and opened it. I went it, Jung Soo followed me. “Nice atmosphere here...,” he complimented. “I miss living in a house. Like, real house. Apartment is so suffocating sometimes.”

I led him to the living room. “Yeah. I hate apartments. Please sit.” I pointed at the sofa. “Turn on the TV if you want to. Wanna have something to drink?”

“We just had juice, remember?” Jung Soo smiled at me. He sat on the couch and reached for the remote control placed in the table.

I said to him, “I go to change my clothes first. Please make yourself feel comfortable.” He nodded.

I rushed upstairs to my room. OH MY FREAKING GOSH. AN ASIAN SUPERSTAR IS IN MY HOUSE. OKAY, I KNOW HE’S ANNOYING SOMETIMES, BUT THAT DOESN’T CHANGE THE FACT THAT THE WHOLE NATION, THE WHOLE CONTINENT, AND NOT TO MENTION WORLD, WORSHIPS HIM AND HIS BOY BAND. SUPER JUNIOR LEETEUK IS DOWNSTAIRS SITTING ON MY DAD’S FAVORITE COUCH AND WATCHING MY MUM’S TV. WHAT SHOULD I FREAKING DO?!

I decided to take a cold shower to calm my mind down. This is crazy. I need to some time to chill.

Once I was done with the shower, I realized that I already made him waiting for twenty minutes. Just wished Jung Soo wouldn’t suddenly turn into a jerk and scold me for nothing.

I sighed as I approached Jung Soo in the living room. I quietly tiptoed towards him, and when I finally felt ready to see him again, all that I found was... him sleeping. The TV was on, but Jung Soo had already fallen asleep. I stared at him closely.

If people only glanced at him, they would never notice what I noticed right now. Jung Soo had puffy eyes and there were dark spots around his eyes. His skin seemed so soft, but being so close with him like this, I could see that he didn’t really have good complexion. It was all make-up... And the worst was the bruises on his limb. Jung Soo only wore sky blue polo shirt and mid length beige pants. I spotted two bruises on his left leg and one on the right. He had two bandages on his arms.

What had he done to gain all this bruises. What had he done to tire him so much that he could actually fall asleep in a girl’s house. A girl that he barely knew.

I put a cushion to support his head and muted the volume of the TV.

Jung Soo breathed so heavily even while sleeping. What does this man do for living? He’s an Asian superstar, not a manual worker... Why so stressed out. My heart slowly broke to see him like this. My heart quietly cried inside. I regretted making him pissed off. Even though sometimes it wasn’t my fault, but because of his bad mood, I felt like I sometimes contributed into making him even more pissed. This man had a tough life... and I just realized that.

Looking at his skinny figure, I noticed that he needed some food. I went to the kitchen and opened the fridge. No food here. Seemed like I really needed to order pizza... But pizza wasn’t nutritious enough for Jung Soo to eat. Ugh, I wished I could cook. Why Mum never became a good mother for me even once and taught me how to cook!

I grabbed the notes Mum always put beside the telephone. She usually wrote important numbers here. Let’s see if I can find something... McDonald’s... Yeah right, I don’t want to kill Jung Soo yet. Some coffee shops... Frappuccino tastes good but where’s the nutrient in it? Some hotel restaurants... I don’t have enough cash with me right now to order food from there. What does Jung Soo like to eat? Korean food? Kimchi? But I don’t know where to buy that. Uuum... Burger King?! He needed more meat and Whoopers must be able to put some more fat into his thin body. I quickly called the nearest Burger King in town and ordered two Whoopers and a Whooper Junior just in case Jung Soo was extremely hungry. The food came around twenty minutes later. Jung Soo amazingly still had not woken up yet.

I was placing the burgers on the plates and arranging the dining table when I heard Jung Soo yawning. I went to the living room to check him. He sat on the couch, half awake. His hair was a bit messy.

Jung Soo rubbed his eyes. “I felt asleep... How long have I stayed here?”

I glanced at the clock hanging on one of the walls. “Um, around an hour...,” I hesitantly answered him.

He bit his lip, his eyebrows slightly furrowed. “I’m sorry.” Weak tone there.

I gathered my confidence and said to him, “Come on. To the kitchen. I’ve prepared some food.”

Jung Soo smiled. For a second I thought he was in doubt and was going to say something. But he wasn’t. He stood up and approached me. “You cooked?” We walked to the kitchen.

“Nah, I ordered Burger King.”

He suddenly stopped moving. He looked at me in the eyes. “But I’m a vegetarian...” WHAT. HE’S A FREAKING WHAT. Seeing my face turning super sour, this man continued, “Just kidding! Muahahaha! I love BK!” He passed by me and sat on the chair. He grabbed the burger happily and took a big bite.

Jung Soo brightly beamed. “Thank you for preparing it all. Come here, ______-ah, let’s eat!” How did he call me? ______-ah? Not ______-ssi anymore? Not formally anymore? D: Then how should I call him now? OPPA?! No way!

I ate with him. He looked so happy. He seemed unenergetic a few minutes ago and now he was as excited as a hyperactive five years old kiddo. Jung Soo and his typical inconsistent mood.

Jung Soo pointed at the Whooper Junior. “Can I have it, please? I am still starving to death after eating one Whooper.” He shyly smiled. I nodded. “Yeah! You’re the best, ______-ah!” He shouted. I seriously wanted to pinch his cheeks right now. He looked way too cute for a twenty years old man. Must brace myself, must brace myself... I couldn’t believe that he was the guy whom I used to hate so much. Eh, used to? Did I just say ‘used to’? So not anymore?!

I tried to start a conversation with him. “So how’s the come back preparation so far?”

He took his glass and drank the water. “Good! Everyone cooperates so well, everything goes smooth. The songs are really good. You’ll love the choreography.”

“Really? Show me.” I challenged him.

He shook his head. “Na’ah. It’s gonna be a surprise.”

I pouted.

“What? I’ve been dealing with Sungmin’s aegyo my whole life. It’s not gonna work, ______-ah.” Jung Soo laughed. “Are you done eating? Hand me your plate, I’ll wash it.”

Super Junior Leeteuk will what?! Wash my dirty plate?!I choked on that thought. Jung Soo rushed to me, patting my back and giving me water to drink. “Ya, you always choke...”

“I’m sorry. No need to wash it. Just leave it in the sink. I’ll do it later with dishwasher.”

“Are you sure it’s okay?”

I stood up to wash my hands. So did Jung Soo. “Yup, of course. Go back to the living room, shall we?”

Back in the living room, Jung Soo watched TV. I sat on the floor and placed my laptop on the table. I remembered I had English essay to be submitted next week. Better do it now.

“Is that you on the wallpaper?” I found Jung Soo sitting beside me.

“Yes. Me, Ye Eun and Minho. Taken when we went to the club few weeks ago.” I smiled as I recalled the moment. Minho and I never really went to that kind of place, but Ye Eun insisted to go. So we did. I never felt as wasted as I did that night. But we had lots of fun!

“I know I’m not supposed to say this...,” Jung Soo suddenly sounded like dad. “But please don’t go to club too often.”

I thought I would feel offended again, but to my amazement, I didn’t. At all. In fact, I understood his worry. “That was my first time.”

“Make it your last.” Jung Soo sounded firm. I just felt like I had to follow him... AH WHY AM I GETTING SO WEIRD LIKE THIS?! “Let’s change your wallpaper!” WUD? He pulled my laptop closer to him. He opened the Photo Box application on my laptop. The webcam was on. He clicked on the red circle and 3, 2, 1... Jung Soo made a V sign with his fingers while I tried so hard to put a smile on my face.

“Yah, you didn’t even smile! Let’s take another picture!”

After some more trials, Jung Soo finally felt satisfied with the result. He changed the wallpaper with our photo; Jung Soo and I smiling as wide as possible. We look like a couple. “You know what, I think you should smile more from now on.”

I chuckled. “Life, most of the time, doesn’t let me to.”

Jung Soo turned my body so he could face me. “You have a great life. You have amazing friends and both of your parents with you. You go to a good school, you have a good house. You can still breathe until now. Your life is beautiful.”

I slightly groaned. “People like you won’t understand, you’re always surrounded by people... If you weren’t here right now, I would have spent my evening alone, all by myself.”

“But I’m here, right?” Jung Soo softly said. I couldn’t respond to him. But soon after that, he changed the topic. “Do you have Twitter?”

“Yes I do.”

“Follow me!” Jung Soo nagged. Haha. This kid man.

Teasing him would be fun. “I won’t. What for?”

“What for?!” His eyes widened. “I’m Super Junior Leeteuk! You have to follow me!”

I laughed inside. “I will, but only if you promise me that you’ll follow back.”

Jung Soo pouted. “You know I can’t do that! My fans will notice that I, Park Jung Soo, is following a random foreign girl that’s not even a fan of mine! They’ll think there’s something between us!”

“But there’s nothing between us, so you don’t have to worry.”

“I’ll follow you back someday, I promise,” Jung Soo nagged.

I logged on Twitter. “What’s your username?”

“YEEEEEEIY!” Jung Soo cheered. “It’s ‘special1004’!” He smiled so happily.

When I was about to type his name on the search box, my phone rang. I pulled it out of my pocket. Minho?
