HER POV


From: Ji Yeon
To: Omma

Omma, I'm Ji Yeon, I'm in Korea now. 
Shall I come over for lunch later? 


You chuckled, as you set your phone down. 
You've already gotten a new phone with a line yesterday. 

You grinned as you countdown, your mum's record was 13 seconds. 
" 1 thousand, 2 thousand.. " 
You remembered how Daehyun taught you to count the seconds, apparently, the time you spent pronouncing " One Thousand" is approximately one second. 


"12 thousand.. " 

* zzzt* 

You grinned as you opened the message. 
Mum made a new record. 

From: Omma
To: Ji Yeon

MY BABY GIRL is in Korea?! Why? 
Yesyes, come over. 
I'll make your favourite food for lunch! 
Shall I call your aunts and uncle to come along?? 


You chuckled, you knew this was coming, your mother being the absolute perfectionist and " daughter lover" 


From: Ji Yeon 
To: Omma
No please... T.T
Just us three will do. 
I'll tell you all about it later. 
I'm staying here permanently. 
I'll come over around 1pm? 
See you, love you xoxo. 


You set your phone down and began to unpack your luggage, to find suitable clothes. 
You'll probably stay in the hotel until you've found an apartment. 

Now that you're 24, it wouldn't be nice to live off your parents. 

You opened your computer and scrolled for apartments. 
There's so many things to do since you're permanently settling down here...
Another reason why you wouldn't want stay in your parent's house, would be because it was near Daehyun's dorm. 

You pursed your lips at the thought of DaeHyun's name. 

You glanced at the top of your screen to check the time.
It was 9:03 am. You still have about four hours more.
You scrolled down to find a cheap and affordable apartment, somewhere maybe not too far the city so it would mean reduced costs on transport. 



After several hours, 
" Yes? Excuse me, I was just wondering if you have a vacant apartment... " 




HIS POV
I was out last night. 
After crying two years worth of tears,.. 
I walked home at 4am. 
After a shower. 
I laid on my bed till the rest of the guys woke up. 
I didn't slept. 
Coordinator and Make-up Noona will nag at me. 

Does crying.. make me less manly? 
Does crying makes me a weakling? 

Baek Ji Yeon, do you know the pain of forgetting you? 

*Knock Knock* 

I closed my eyes immediately. 
I pretended I was asleep. 

I heard a low groan. 
It was Yong Guk Hyung. 
I put on a straight face. 
My sleeping face

" Daehyun? " 
He shook me, attempting to wake me up. 
I didn't budge. 

" Daehyun.. please wake up. " 
Please,.. Hyung said please.. 
I.. How can I ignore him? 
Yong Guk has that aura around him that I can't go against his words. 
I feigned a groan as if I was being stirred up. 

"Oh.. Hyung. " I rubbed my eyes to cover my swollen eyes. 

When I put my hands down, I pretended I look behind to look at the time on my bedside table.. 

He can't see my eyes.. He mustn't

He kept silent. 
I.. I can't do anything else to hide my eyes, 
So, I stood up and pretended to go to the bathroom. 

He held my hand firmly. 

I joked, " Hyung, Why are you like this? Let me goo.. " 

He turned around and looked firmly in my eyes. 
" Are you okay? " 




I bit the inside of my cheeks. 
Okay? Okay?! 
HOW AM I OKAY? 
I feel like I'm dying from inside, inside my heart! 


" Yes, " I smiled. 

I know he can see my eyes.. I can't hide anymore. 
Two years of hiding. 

He was searching for something in my eyes. 

I just chuckled and joked again, " Yah.. Hyung Stop this. If Fans see through the window they will think DaeJae is not real, and Bangdae is.. " 

He kept a solemn face, "Ju-Just.. Don't hide anymore. Let us know when you need us... " 

I snorted at his words. 
I really didn't want to be disrespectful to Hyung, but.. can I? 
Can I stop hiding? 

I turned around and looked into his eyes. 
" Can I? Can I really stop hiding? 
Can I just miss the broadcast later? 
Can I just tell my fans that I am crazily in love with this girl that has left me twice? 
And.. how this girl is back for God know what reason.. 
And I'm so damn crazy right now because i miss her so bad?? 
Can I just give up everything and run back to her? " 

I broke down.. 
Ji Yeon.. I really miss you. 

I couldn't see anything, my tears were blinding me. 
I felt his hands on back, moving up and down. 

I whispered as loudly as my croaked voice allows, " I need all of you.. to promise me something. " 

"What is it? " his low voice replied back. 


I gulped down that growing lump in my throat. 
It's now or never Daehyun. 

" Stand by me when I am fighting to have her by my side. " 

HER POV

You glanced at your phone screen, as it lits up, you saw the time, 12:47pm. 

You walked from your hotel to your house. 
You were dressed comfortably in a pretty little blue dress, with a matching bag. 
You felt foreign as you walked through the neighbourhood. 
Two years have flown, your mind wandered. 
You stared at the changed infrastructure, and the new neighbours that have moved in. 
You nodded and greeted those who recognised you and even made small conversations. 
You saw the same Ahjumma working at the vegetable store. 
The same Uncle sleeping by the benches with newspapers on his lap. 

It was almost as if everything changed, and yet it felt like it had not. 

You smiled as you continued walking. 

Your eyes caught on to the playground. 

Your heart stopped. 

You thought you would have been stronger to face such memories. 
You took in a deep breath and paced your feets towards the playground. 
You the railings. 
You smiled at all the silly vandalism written. 
"Kids nowadays.. " you remarked casually.

Your eyes stopped and lingered at a particular vandalism.  

정대현, 보고싶다
Jung Dae Hyun, I miss you

You had written this four years back when both of you broke up. 
The start of the pain that etched in both of your hearts. 
The pain never subsided. It just kept growing and haunting both of you. 
Missing someone, you never knew how much it hurts. 

Funny thing is now, after four years, the same seven characters is still relatable to you. 
Even after four years, you only can say 정대현, 보고싶다 (Jung Dae Hyun, I miss you)
And not 정대현, 사랑해 (Jung Dae Hyun, I love you) 

You sniffed and stared at the sky. 
No tears, girl, No tears. You've promised. 

With the greatest courage you can muster, you walked away. 
That's right, walk away from the playground. 

"OMMAA!" you greeted cheerfully. 
Quite a contrast to just now, but never fails to let her assume you're all better. 

After all the family hugs and greetings, she sets you down on the dinner table. 

" Here's your favourite food.. " she started pointing at all the dishes,.. and you realised there are noticably more white hairs on her head. 
Your heart ached. 
You forgot that as everyone moved on, time did too. 
And so did your mum's age. 
She's getting older. She has gotten older too.  

You realised she was staring at you. 
" Yes Omma.. Thank You for the food. " 
She made a weird face, she probably realised you haven't been listening to her. 
But she couldn't be bothered as she see you hungrily gobbling down the food. 

" Whoa.. Omma.. I missed your fooddd.. You know, I can only get hamburgers.. and.. fries.. back at Australia. " 
Her eyes widen. 
You hurriedly added, " There's this korean store at a mall.. but damn, no one's kimchi can beat yours. " You put up a thumb. 

Your mum beamed. 
Your father chuckled, " Aigoo,.. My baby girl has such a sweet tongue." 

After some time of eating.. 

" That's right, Ji Yeon-ah, why are you back permenantly? " 
The first question you dread. 

You chewed your food finished before answering, " Mr Rodger, my boss has a new project for me.. I'll be covering Kpop News and send to him every week. It would be easier if I live in Korea and do the news coverage.. Besides I'm the only korean.. so. I'm the lucky one. " You sacarstically ended the sentence. 

She giggled, " Well, I'm happy to have my baby girl by my side.. " 
She cut short her sentence, she probably just realised the reason why you left. 

She kept silent for a while. 
"Ji Yeon-ah.. " 
You hummed. 

" Do.. Do you have a boyfriend? " 
The second question you dread. 

You shook your head. 

"Are you back.. in Korea just because of this news job you have...?" she asked cautiously. 

You froze. 
It would be a lie if you said yes. 
He wasn't really the complete reason you're back. 
If you still had a chance, you would rather stay in Australia. 
But.. if fate has let both of your path meet, you will accept. 

" No. " You looked into your mother's eye. 

 

HIS POV

He gulped. 

Who am I kidding? 
It's like a fight of death. 
You're like fighting for a girl when over thousands and thousands of fans, reporters..are against you. 
The crazy fight. 

And I'm asking him to stand by my side. 
It's like asking him to take a side that he will lose. 

I closed my eyes. 
I really hate thinking now. 
I should stop thinking. 
I shou--

" Okay. I promise. " 

I opened my eyes and stared into his. 
His eyes held such sincerity. 

My mouth was wide open, but I speak of no words. 

He smiled, " But.. are you okay to go for broadcast today?" 

I smiled back, I just hugged him. 

 " Thank you. " 

At least I'm not fighting alone. 
Baek Ji Yeon. 
I won't let you go again. 
 

" We are B.A.P. Hello, it's B.A.P. We will work hard. " 
Routinal chant. 

We're here for rehearsals for Music shows later.
We're currently promoting a song... 




" Thankyou, You have all worked hard. " 
After the recording we head back to our dressing rooms. 


I sat at my usual seats, and twirled my pen. 
Deep in thoughts. 

The rest were either practicing their moves ( Jong Up and Zelo ) 
Staring at mirror ( YoungJae and Him Chan ) 
Reading a book ( Yong Guk ) 

I was just twirling a pen. 
 

If I were to fight for her to be back. 
I must plan... 

What ever I do, she'll be back with me right? 

I just realised I never did know if she's attached.. 

My heart sank.. 

A beautiful girl.. she may have a boyfriend, or even worse.. she may be married and yet.. 
Here I am foolishly planning to let her come back to me.. 

I pushed my head down and clenched my fists. 
Sighs. 
 

HER POV

" So... I said, ' Sir, Can I please interview you now? ' he just stared at me and said, 'Is this where I order pizza? ' " 
My parents were both laughing uncontrollably. 
They were crying, crying happy tears from the stories I'm telling them. 

I smiled, it feels great to be able to make my parents smile. 
I realised I didn't really spend much time with them since I'm always with Daehyun. 
Sure, I know what's their favourite food, favourite colours,. but I never know what makes them smile. How do they look like when they laugh. How many wrinkles are there on their face. All these subtle things, I've memorised for Daehyun, but not for my own parents. 
My heart aches. 
I should love them more.. 


My dad wiped his tears away, " My poor daughter, " he joked. 

I did an " Oh!" as I suddenly recalled. 

" Appa, Omma, shall we throw a party next week? It's Christmas next Wednesday.. " 

Both of them smiled. 
" Anything you want sweetie. "

We ended up watching the television afterwards. 

You were busy changing the channels while your dad was reading his newspapers from the ipad and your mum was dilligently playing some game, making squeals and groans occasionally. 


Your eyes froze. 
Your fingers froze. 

Daehyun was on TV. 

This must be his new song. B.A.P's new song. 

You stared at the same facial features that you have memorised for your whole life. 

His eyes seemed puffy. 
Is he ... Did he cried ? 
He looks a litle frail. 
He seemed to have worked out a little.. 

You smiled as he pulled a high note. 
Zelo and Jong Up did a break dance. 
You found your smile getting wider. 
Yong Guk came in with a charismatic chant. 
HimChan sang, and Young Jae harmonised. 

Chorused came, and Daehyun hold the notes as YoungJae sang. 
Your eyes were fixed on Daehyun. 

The music stops and they did an ending pose. 
You saw them panting hard. 
You didn't moved at all until the scenes changed to the MC. 


You smiled like a silly Fangirl. 
Daehyun, you've grown so handsome this two years.
Two years without me and you've grown so handsome... 

Maybe it was good thing I left.. 
But will you want me back now?

My friend was scolding me for not updating often. >.<
