Chapter 42

The Heart Never Forgets

 "You! " A familiar voice yelled at you. 

You turned around, and you gasped. 



"Haven't I seen you before? " 

"Me? " you tried playing games.
Hopefully this game would work...  

Her eyes widen and interrogated yours as if you were ever so sinful.. 


" Yeah... " 
Her side-kicks were peering just as hard on you. 


"I GOT IT! " A little side-kick squealed. 
She was so tiny, you never imagined her tiny frame would ever project such a loud voice. 
You would love to ponder how young she was too.. 
And in broad daylight... sighs. 

Before she could reply, " Who are you guys to begin with? How can you just hold people back like this and stare at them so rudely?!" 
You tried to play fierce. 
Hopefully they wouldn't be that,... haughty and mighty anymore. 

" We? Fans of the amazing group belonging to this company. " 
Her nose was stuck high as if she was the CEO of the company. 

" And.. how does that concerns me? " You tried to roll your eyes as if she was just a little matchstick. 

"You.. cause you're walking into the company? " 
She said it as-a-matter-of-factly manner. 

You raised your eyebrow at her and let silence do the talking. 

" W-what? " she was getting flustered by your silence. 

" It doesn't explains anything, you're not the owner of this company right? 
You don't own me either. 
You don't get paid to regulate the crowds over here. 
Much rather.. " 

You folded your arms to play the role of interrogation now. 
" You are more suspicious on this end to be standing outside like this.. " 

"M-Me?! I love them and I wouldn't do anything to harm them.. " 
You raised an eyebrow. 

"ITS TRUE. " She cried out. 

" Then, you shouldn't be doing this. " 

"Why?" She shot back. 

You rolled your eyes, "How is this not harming them? People who are truly Babyz can have their chance to walk up and pass their gifts, they family members can't visit them as and when they want, and every staff that works with them. 
How does that not harm them? " 

You weren't sure if this made sense. 
But as long as you divert their attention. 
And hopefully that little petite girl would piped down and not speak of a word. 


"B-b.. " 
She suddenly stopped herself.. 
She was staring afar in the direction behind you. 

Curiously, you turned around, but was stopped from an approaching hand that slung over your shoulder. 

" Ofghhh... " you groaned as that heavy weight pushed you down. 
You shot a glare.. but you were stunned. 


"KyuJong Oppa? " 
The fan-girls all cried out. 

Your heart was going, " Tim?! " 

"You girls, what are you doing here? " 
He was glaring hard. 

For some odd reason, they suddenly grew smaller. 
Well, in other words, they were frightened of Tim. 
But.. why? 

" Oppa.. " The leader of the gang tried to go about with saying it sweetly. 

He raised his eyebrows. 
" 사장님(President of a company) . "
She cleared and repeated herself. 

You raised a huge eyebrow as you turned to face him. 
He set you firmly in position so it was rather painful to look at him. 


The fans were giving glances at both of you. 

" How did... you.. " she didn't finished but pointed at both of you. 

He just said simply, " You don't need to know.
All I need to you is what you are girls are doing out here even after countless reminders and warnings... "
He insisted his words sternly. 

They gave silent coughs and frown of displease. 
" 사장님 ... Just let us go this time.. " 

"The very next time I catch you, you know what will happen... " he glared at them as he threatened them


They nodded obediently and immediately bowed to him as they tried to backtrack their steps. 

You rolled your eyes. 

The other fan girls glared at you as they made their way away... 

"By the way, " the leader said harshly. 
" Nice Necklace. " She glared at your necklace. 

It felt.. wrong and funny. 
It didn't seemed like a compliment. 



And they left. 

You scoffed at them. 

" Un-be-li-ea-va-ble. " Those words rolled off your mouth as if you tasted something bitter. 

TIm laughed. 
You shot him a look, and you folded your arms. 

" Kyu... jong? " You raised an eyebrow. 

He chuckled embarrassedly. 
" That's urm.. my real name. " 

You chuckled, " And you never told me..? " 

He embarrassedly ruffled his own hair. 

"I... I.. " he was stuttering so badly and you just laughed at his response. 
You laughed and he laughed along with you. 
After some time of comfortable laughing. 
You were pretty glad that both of you weren't feeling awkward. 


"So.. why are they afraid of you?" You were wiping the stray tears away from the corner of your eyes. 

He embarrasedly rubbed the nape of his neck. 
"Well... I kind of own quite a lot of company and urms.. " you really like how modest he is. 
" Well.. let's just say I have power over their acts of sasaeng because I could enforce laws on them with the connections I have in hand.. " 
He said softly. 

" Whoooa... " you nodded, impressed. 
He blushed and looked away.. " It's nothing... " 

" And yourself? " he was desperately trying to shift the attention away. 

" A journalist. Nothing much. " You smiled. 

" You're back because...? " 
You bit your lips. 

" I.. I am in charge of kpop news for my company. " you replied softly. 

" Kpop? " he raised his eyes. 
"You mean... " 

You nodded hurriedly. 
He glanced at the little box and bags you had in hand. 

" Those are... not for me right? " He asked cheekily. 
You almost caught that flash of disappointment as he tried to cover it with a bright smile. 

You chuckled, " Yours... A meal? " you winked. 

He chuckled, " Is that a date? " 

You gave a nervous giggle, " If you say so? " 

Both of you got into another round of laughing. 






Both of you finally entered the company. 
You asked around for B.A.P, they had already left for the music station. 
You frowned, and decided to wait for them. 
It wouldn't be nice to meet sasaeng... 
Just.. wait.. why aren't the sasaeng at the music stations where their oppas were? 
Your heart was getting uneasy. 
Does this.. have another meaning? 

Your thoughts broke as Tim asked, " So.. shall we go ahead for a meal first? " 
"You have no ... business meetings or whatnots? " you asked curiously. 
He chuckled, " I could cancel them later" 
You hurriedly waved your hands to show that it would be perfectly okay for him to go ahead with his schedules. 

He chuckled and placed a finger on his lips as he proceed to call for the secretary. 
You pouted nonchalently. 
Oh wells, you never could do anything when Tim has his heart set on something. 




So both of you found yourself in a fancy restaurant. 
You were getting a little fidgety. 
You don't mind treating Tim, just... it seems too fancy for your wallet. 
It may not just burn a hole, but disintegrate the whole item. 

You smiled back at him as he gestured you to take order from the menu. 
You gave a fast glance, and your heart almost dropped out of its position. 
The price. 
(Faints) 

He chuckled, " Anything you would like? "

" Just plain water? " 
You gave a nervous giggle.


" What? " 

He shook his head and order for the waiter. 
"My usual, please get two sets and a 1962 red wine. " 

 

You gave him a wide-eyed. 

" What? " he chuckled. 

" I... shall first confess... urms..  I don't have more than 220 000 won (about USD$200) " you said awkwardly. 

He chuckled. 
" It's on the house, I wouldn't do this to you JiYeon-ah" 

He set the menu down calmly. 
" On-the-house?! " You almost choked as you drank your water. 
" YOU OWN THIS RESTAURANT TOOOO??!"  
You forgot to lower down your volume, you got quite a bit of stares. 

He chuckled nervously. 
" A share of it. I had investments,... but he's my good friend, he would be okay with this meal" 
He gave a playful grin. 


"Surprise Surprise.." You gave a playful smirk as you fold your arms. 
"Next thing you'll probably tell me that you own a hotel tooo..." You gave a hearty laugh as you reached for your glass of water again. 
He was silent. 

Your eyes widened, " Seriously?" 

He nodded after some time slowly. 

"Whoa... " You didn't know what to say. 

"Yahh.. don't be like this.. " 
As if on cue, the waiter came with both of your meals, and expertedly filled both of your empty glass with wine. 

You were beaming so brightly. 

" I'm really impressed with you.. " You gave slow nods as  you stared at the plate before you. 
Its on ... well less frequent than once in a blue moon you get to experience this. 

" Don't be," He gave a warm smile. 
" I'm just ... " he looked into your eyes.
" Lucky but not that lucky... " 

You gave an awkward smile back. 
You understood his words. 
He smiled and proceed to cut up his steak. 

You pursed your lips and cut yours. 

" Do you need help? " 
He asked without looking up. 

Everything got so awkward now.. 

" Not at all. " You replied quickly. 



Dinner went by a little awkwardly. 
So you went on to start another conversation. 

"Kyu Jong-ah... " 
He frowned. 

You gave an evil grin, 
" Kyu Jonggggiee.... " 

He gave a Sighs-what-shall-I-ever-do-with-you look, 
And you gave him a bright smirk. 

" What is it? " he asked. 
"Why... " You hesitated. 
" Why did you put your hand over my shoulder just now? " 
"Huh? " He was surprised by your question. 
"Well.. the fan girls were there and.. well.. " you grew quieter. 

He chewed slower... 
" Well... " he began, 
" I thought it would show that you have connections with me.. " 
He was choosing his words wisely. 
" And urms.. they won't bully you anymore? " He gave a chuckle and his eye smile. 

Even though both of you are not together, but even with the title as friends, you're comfortable with him. 

" That's really sweet of you ... " you giggled and took another bite-sized piece with your fork. 
You almost caught him blushing. 


His phone vibrated violently. 

His face showed his shock. 
He gave you a nervous glance before excusing himself. 
You gave an amused grin, and chewed your steak and took a sip of your red wine. 


When he was back, you were teasing him big time. 

" Whoooooo is thatttttt? " you sang. 

He blushed. 

" urms... urms.. someone.. " he was stammering. 

You gave him a wiggly eyebrow. He blushed and complied to answer your question. 

" Well.. she is a girl I met during a business meeting.. " his eyes was sparkling as he started his story. 
And, being intrigued, you let your chin rest on your hands and you set the utensils down of course. 

" It was just another meeting to me, but... " he was staring at distant spaces afar. 
"She was different. " His words felt so alive. 
You found yourself smiling. 
You're truly happy for him. 

"We met again at the coffee shop." His eyes finally met yours. 
"I, well.. " he chuckled, " took her coffee by a mistake. " 
He was smiling so brightly. 
" Then she was flaring up at me,... so adorably, " he said the last few words softly but you caught it. 
"Until she realised who I was... and well.. we talked and.. this happen.. " his voice grew softer. 

You giggled. 

He was blushing so badly. 

After giggling, you looked into his eyes. 
" I'm happy for you Tim. I'm really happy for you. " 
You gave the warmest smile that could ever speak your heart. 

He nod shyly and thanked you. 


" And.. " he broke the silence and stared at you. 
" I'm happy for you too.. " 


It was your turn to blush. 
" H-how... " 

He chuckled. 

" Well... " He brought his hands up to rest his chin on them. 

" I remember someone telling me she can't forget him even while we're dating... " 
You felt a weird guilt but more on the embarrassed side. 
" And... I figured, " he gave a thoughtful glance at the ceiling. 
" A girl dating someone with her heart on another man, wouldn't give up on that man even she chose to leave again. " 

You blushed and bit your lips. 
" I.. just.. " you couldn't find the right words. 

" I just want to let you know, I'll be here if you ever need me. " 
He warmly took your hand that was resting on the table. 
He gave it a few short pats and brought his hands back to the utensils to finish the remaining. 

You smiled, " Thank You. " 

 





And after a meal, both of you were stuffed. 
It was just like the old days where time were spent discussing about everything under the sun. 
He was really one of the good friends you ever had. 
And the thing about such friends is, you can never have them replaced. 
No matter what you have been through in life, with or without them. 
They became a part of you. 
Someone that holds a lil of your secret. 
Someone that knows you a lil better than someone else. 
Someone that you never have to put up fake emotions just to get by. 
A true friend. 
You were thankful for meeting Tim even if there are no happy endings between both of you. 
Happy Endings never come by easy, and more often than not, not always with the person you wished to have it with. 
You're grateful that you still could be so comfortable with Tim. 



"So.. I'll get you to the music station? " He spoke as he got into the car and you getting on the other side. 

" That would be so great if you could. " you flashed him a grateful smile. 

He chuckled, " Aigoooo, why are you so into formalities, be comfortable. " 
He pulled the seatbelts across his chest. 

" I am. " A playful sparkle in your eye just as you said that. 
He looked up at you and you playfully pressed the button of his seatbelt , causing the seatbelt to fly back into position. 

He gave you a soft glare and shook his head. 
You were giggling uncontrollably. 




He drove you to the music station, and once you get off. 
There were fans everywhere. 
But that wasn't your concern. 

How could you get in without them seeing? 

"Tim? " 

"Yeah? "

"Urms.. How do I get in? " 

" Ohoh.. just take a turn at that corner, and tell them you're my friend? I'll give them a call to let you in? " 
He brought out his phone. 
" Or do you want me to bring you in? " 
You were starting to feel this was a terrible idea and especially since you're holding boxes of gifts. 

"Nah.. its fine. " You gave a wave of hand to show that you don't need him to do anything. 

He gave a worried smile. 
"You sure? " 

"Definitely. " 

And with that, he left off with a worried heart even after much of your assurance. 
But you couldn't trouble him. 



You stared at that swarm of fans and took courage with you. 

You went by the back door, but there were fans. 
The front door was even worse. 
You took your chances, it was either waiting outside, or brace yourself and walk through the swarm of fans. 

You stared at the thousands of people cheering. 
You felt a swell of pride and envy for your boyfriend, and your five other best friends. 
They were living their dreams. 
And they are sharing their dreams with millions of fans around the world. 
This was exactly what they were dreaming years ago. 



(Flashback) 

" Can you imagine?! One thousand people coming to our concert? " Young Zelo was exclaiming excitedly as they were fantasising the future they would probably share. 

"One thousand? Eyyyy... I think Ten Thousands. " Him Chan gave a proud smirk. 

" Come on! A million! " Daehyun gestured with his arms spreading above his head

" Guys... " You gave them a smirk. 

All six eyes on you. 

" DON'T FORGET ME WHEN YOU HAVE THOUSANDS AND MILLIONS OF FANS! " you pouted playfully. 

All of them gave you a grin. 

" Well... " YongGuk started. 
" We'll probably just be busy and alll.. " Himchan started. 
" And practicing! " YoungJae brought up a finger to show it as an important point. 
" Dance. I like dancing. " Jong Up suddenly spoke up. 
It was random, but no one was particularly bothered. 
" And... We will maybe... can't recall we have this friend.... " Daehyun gave you a smirk. 

" Heyyyyyy" Zelo snapped. 
" Don't bully Noona! " He frowned and protectively held you. 

Daehyun smacked his hands away. 

Zelo frowned and rubbed his hand as if it had bruised him badly. 

You gave a chuckle. 

" You know, JiYeon-ah. " YongGuk spoke up. 
" I hope you wouldn't forget us too. " 

You tilted your head and gave him a quizzical look. 

He smiled, his gummy smile. 

" I mean don't ever forget us now. We may be idols in the future, but I never want you to look at us like that. " 
He hesitated a little. 
" If I may, selfishly request of you to remind me,.. us of how it was like in the past. " 
You smiled. 
Ever modest. 
That's why you always respected YongGuk. 

All five of them gave nods, their hyung always says the wisest words. 
Even though he may be fun and playful at times, but when it comes to their dreams, he was always working hard. 

You love your six bunnies. 


(Flashback ends) 

 

 



You broke into smiles. 

The fans cheering broke your thoughts as well. 

You sat down on the curb and stared at the swarm of fans before you. 

" Fighting B.A.P " You whispered. 
" Fighting Daehyun! " 






You sat there for quite some time. 
Until it was pretty late. 
You were pretty amused at the fans energy, or was it just yours cause you're getting by older.. 
Ughs, the thought of growing old. 



*zzt* 
From: My Busan Man
To: Ji Yeon

WHERE ARE YOUUUUUUUUU~~^^ 
I miss you ㅎㅎㅎㅎ



To: My Busan Man
From : JiYeon

Outside :D
Waiting for youuu~~




*zzt* 

From: My Busan Man
To: Ji Yeon

Seriously?! 
Out there in the cold? For how long? 
Ohdear, why are you waiting outside, come in? 
Or I go out? 
Seriously JiYeon, don't make me worry like that! 



You gave a giggle as you read the message. 
This silly boy. 
Oh gosh, you are so in love with this pabo. 


To: My Busan Man
From : JiYeon


Ughs. How old are you? 2944 years? 
Yes. I waited that longggggggggggggggg
T.T  2944 YEARS!

 

 


The skies were getting dark, and it was getting chilly. 
You didn't know what kept you waiting outside. 
But since you left Daehyun waiting for so long. 
A mere few hours wouldn't matter. 
They say love makes one silly. 
But really, when you love someone, you don't do the most logical things. 




And, you saw a dark figure approaching you. 
Omo. You were getting scared. 
You glanced around and picked up an innocent stick. 
It would do good for defence temporarily. 
You glance around,... that figure was approaching fast. 
You were gettting nervous. 






"YAHHHHH! " That was his first words. 
And... it sounded a little hoarse. 
Your heart ached. 
Does practicing always takes away his voice like that? 

" Why are you out here for so longgg? You could have called Manager Hyung. "
You smiled as he draped a blanket over you. 

"Waiting for you. " You said shyly. 

He gave a chuckle and pulled you in for a hug. 
" Aigooo, my princess is so cute. " 

" Don't.... " you said shyly. 

" YESYES.. you're adorable! " He hugged you tighter. 

" Ehhh... We can't be out here too long, people might know. " 

You mentioned glumly. 

 



He held you longer.... 
" I don't like hiding.. " 
He said softly. 

" It's for the best. " you replied solemly. 

He gave a sigh, and you bit your lips. 

" Let's go in.. " 

"Wait! " 
You stopped him and picked up the boxes of presents. 

" For me?" His eyes sparkled as he asked excitedly. 


You smacked him. 
"Don't be silly, I gave you already! " 

" I want more! " He chuckled. 


You grinned, and tiptoed and gave him a peck. 

He was shocked, and you took the opportunity to make a run. 
But... bad choice. 
You were holding on to those boxes and it slowed you down so much. 

He caught on to you fast by your waist , and pecked your cheeks. 
" Thankyouuuu ... " 
You blushed. 

Before you could say anything, he brought you into the music station holding on to the boxes for you. 

Thank goodness, the fans have left. 





" It was a great performance ! " You exclaimed as you entered the room. 
All of them, still slightly tired, but make-up all gone and in their comfortable clothes, gave you a grateful smile. 

" Did you see what I did noona? " Zelo come running to you. 

You gave a nervous chuckle. 

" Urms.. " 

" You didn't see? " he asked disappointedly... 

" I.. I was having a meal outside. " You shyly responsed. 

" With who? " Daehyun asked quietly. 

" Urms.. " 
All six pairs of eyes on you. 

" Tim? " 




Awkward silence. 

" PRESENTS! " You tried to liven your tone as you present them your presents for them. 
" WHOAAAA" 
" WOW! THANKS" 
"Aww... you're so sweeet Yeon-ah" Himchan ruffled your hair.
" Thankyou Jiyeon, " YongGuk gave you a gummy smile. 


You glanced at Daehyun, he was fidgeting, and probably affected. 

You tip-toed and cautiously made way to him. 

" I only wanted treat him to a meal... " You told him softly. 
He smiled and gave you a nod. 

" I trust you. " 

He pulled you in for a hug.

Thank you for updating, and congratulations for your uni =)

Chapter 51: Mangie is a nice sasaeng, but still a sasaeng... Though she chose the wrong person because she should be after purplegyu... I need to tell her.

Ahahah I'm not confused at all because I know who was talking with who (or more accurately I guessedit because you haven't told me anything) but it's nice not to say it now.

Ahahah maybe Dae was just hungry and he wanted to go to a late night restaurant and now his.
Mangegardien #8
Chapter 50: Is it this chapter confusing people ? Case it's not really confusing. It's totally normal Jiyeon doesn't feel good enough to be revealed as Daehyun's boyfriend, when we all know how fans usually react when you tell them their biases have girlfriends. And it's a happy ending.. Well a happy ending chapter okay, but still it's fluffy and stuff and it's adorable and you just want to hug them both because they're adorable (... yeah yeah more than I am XD).

I look forward to reading the next chapters, cause right now there are some black holes I need to understand ^.^'
