"Hey, what happened? Are you okay?" tanong ni Siwon kay Frances. Tanghali na noon at katatapos lamang mag-ensayo nina Frances at Donghae para sa gaganaping practical exam. Ilang araw na rin nilang ginagawa ito ngunit hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin nila ito natatapos ng maayos dahil nahihirapan silang pakisamahan ang isa't-isa.

"It's all because of your friend. Arrghh! Ms. Joong always scold us because he's not focusing in what we're doing. Jessica is not yet around anyway. He has no more distraction! Why does he find it hard to look at me? Arrgh," wika ng dalaga.

Napatawa si Siwon. "Why? Are you jealous or something?" tanong nito.

"H-huh? No way. Why would I be jealous? Besides, I really don't like that guy because of his attitude...sheesh, I'm tired of working with him!" Maya-maya ay biglang tumunog ang tiyan nito na siyang ikinagulat ng binata.

"I think your tummy doesn't agree on what you're saying," wika ni Siwon.

"Psh. I'm really hungry! Arrgh my head is also starting to ache because of him!"

"Haha. Really? I guess it would be better if we eat first. Where do you want to go anyway?" tanong ni Siwon.

"I don't have my money. I just let my driver bring me here this morning, but I forgot to take my wallet with me." malungkot na sambit ng dalaga. "It's okay. I won't eat."

"Are you sure of that? Wait...you forgot your wallet? Of all the things that you can forget...haha. Why did you forgot that?" wika ng binata.

"Shut up would you! It's not my fault if I forgot it. It's an accident! Sheeesh, it's Donghae's fault that I'm hungry right now. I already told him that I don't have my money with me but he even didn't offer to buy some foods for me! And after that he just left me inside the studio like nothing, huhuhu."

"Oh...I'm sorry. If that is so, then I'll treat you," wika ni Siwon. Natuwa si Frances sa sinabi ng binata. Tamang-tama ang pag-aalok niya dahil gutom na gutom na talaga ito. Naglakad na sila papunta sa kotse nang bigla nilang makasalubong si Donghae.

"Speaking of the devil," sambit ng dalaga.

"Oh, Siwon. You're here. Let's go," wika ni Donghae kay Siwon. Nagulat si Frances sa kanyang narinig. Mukhang magkakasabay silang kakain nina Siwon at Donghae kaya't bigla siyang nagdalawang-isip kung sasama pa siya o hindi.

"Uhm...you two go ahead. I just lost my appetite." wika ng dalaga at pagkatapos ay inirapan niya si Donghae.

"Psh. If I know, you just saw me that's why you don't wanna go with us anymore," wika ni Donghae.

"Oh. How did you know that? You're so brilliant! Hahahahaha!" wika ng dalaga. "So guys, I guess I'll go ahead. Bye!"

"Hey bro. I think it would be better if you let her go with you. I won't join you anymore," wika ni Donghae. Natigilan si Frances sa sinabi nito.

"Are you sure? Who's gonna be with you then?" tanong ni Siwon sa kabarkada nito.

"H-huh? Uhm...aah-" hindi malaman ni Donghae kung ano ang isasagot nito nang biglang lumabas ng studio si Eunhyuk.

"EUNHYUK! I'm gonna be with Eunhyuk. Hehe. Ok bro I guess I'll go ahead. I'm really hungry, see ya!" wika ng binata. Pagkatapos noon ay hinabol nito si Eunhyuk at inakbayan ito. Napatingin na lamang si Siwon kay Frances.

"So...let's go?" tanong ni Siwon kay Frances.

"O-okay," sambit nito. Hindi siya makapaniwala na ginawa ni Donghae ang bagay na iyon. Nagtataka siya kung bakit bigla na lamang nagbago ang isip nito. Sa bagay, mabuti na rin iyon dahil ayaw naman niyang makasabay ang binata sa pagkain.

"Weird. What in the world happened to that guy? I guess he's being a gentleman lately," wika ng dalaga.

"Donghae is nice. You just misunderstood him," wika ni Siwon. "And besides-," hindi na niya naituloy pa ang sinasabi niya at sa halip ay napatawa na lamang ito.

"What's funny?"

"Nothing. Just don't mind me."

"How wouldn't I mind you if you have been laughing since I saw you this morning. Is there something wrong with you? Have you been in drugs?"

"Haha. No. What are you thinking? You're just funny. That's it." wika ni Siwon. "Also...you remind me of someone."

"Someone? Who?"

Hindi na sumagot ang binata at sa halip ay ngumiti na lamang ito.

"Anyway, I have a schedule later at Bench. Are you busy? Wanna come?" tanong ni Siwon.

"H-huh? No thanks. I'm shy," sambit ng dalaga.

"No, it's okay. Besides, I don't have any company. It would be lonely if I go there alone. Please come okay?"

"O-okay," wika ni Frances. Nahihiya siyang tanggihan ito dahil ililibre naman siya nito ng lunch. Isa pa, mahirap tanggihan ang alok ng isang napakagwapo at napakabait na lalaking katulad niya.

Dinala ni Siwon si Frances sa isang high-class restaurant para kumain. Napakagalante talaga ng binata dahil walang anuman sa kanya kung gumastos man siya ng malaking halaga para sa ibang tao. Pagkatapos noon ay nagtungo na ang dalawa sa pictorial ng Bench. Siwon Choi is currently working there as a model. Ngunit isang bagay ang hindi inaasahan na mangyari ni Frances, ang makita na naman si Donghae. Pareho kasi sila ngayon na nakakontrata ni Siwon sa kompanyang iyon.

"IT'S YOU AGAIN! What in the world are you doing here?" tanong ng dalaga.

"Didn't you know that I also work here? Why didn't you know it? I thought you're my fan?" tanong ni Donghae sa dalaga.

"Whooo...It's so windy today! I'm wondering why the atmosphere is full of air at the moment. It's too suffocating!" wika ng dalaga sa mga tao sa paligid. Napatawa na naman si Siwon sa dalaga samantalang si Donghae, sa katakutang mapahiya, ay ipinagpatuloy ang panggigiit na may gusto ito sa kanya.

"Uhm I-i thought you don't wanna see me? You can't help it right? You're too obsessed with me right?!" wika ni Donghae.

"Wanna have a spunk in the head?! Geez...I didn't know that you were here in the first place! Psh. And one more thing, I am not your fan ANYMORE. I'm with Siwon, got it? WITH SIWON." wika ni Frances sa binata habang yumayapos sa braso ni Siwon. Napatawa na lamang si Siwon.

"Mr. Choi, Mr. Lee, the pictorial will start in a few minutes. Please be prepared," wika ng isang staff.

"Frances, we'll go ahead. Is it okay if you stay here for a while?" tanong ni Siwon sa dalaga.

"Huh? Yeah sure! I'm just gonna watch the both of you, uh I mean YOU. Only you! Hahahahaha!" wika ni Frances. "Fighting!"

Ginulo ni Siwon ang buhok nito. Pagkatapos noon ay biglang dinilaan ni Frances si Donghae at nag-irapan na naman ang dalawa.

Nagsimula na ang pictorial. Nakakatuwang panoorin ang dalawang lalaki sa kalagitnaan ng photoshoot. Ang cute tingnan ng dalawa, lalung-lalo na si Donghae. Mukha silang nagbibiruan habang nagpipictorial. Hindi maiwasan ni Frances na mapasulyap dito ngunit sa tuwing nagtatagpo ang kanilang mga mata ni Donghae ay agad siyang umiiwas ng tingin. Maya-maya, tumingin si Siwon kay Frances at pabirong kumindat dito. Napatawa ang dalaga. Napapansin ni Donghae ang pagtitinginan ng dalawa kaya medyo nailang siya habang kinukuhanan siya ng litrato. Nang natapos na ang trabaho ay nagpahinga muna sina Siwon at Donghae samantalang si Frances naman ay nagtungo muna sa comfort room.

"Hey bro, what's up? Were you able to eat lunch with Eunhyuk?" tanong ni Siwon sa kabarkada niyang si Donghae.

"Yeah bro, it's a good thing that I saw Eunhyuk. I forgot my wallet anyway," wika ni Donghae.

"Hahaha. Just as I thought. Why do you always forgot your wallet? Hahaha," natatawang tanong ni Siwon sa binata.

"Stop laughing okay! I'm used to it! Besides, I'm always with you guys. You can provide me with anything even If I forgot to bring my wallet. Anyway, it's just that Frances is there so I didn't bother joining you two." Donghae sighs. "But Eunhyuk just brought a few money, that's why I was not able to eat so much! I'm sure that if I were with you, my tummy would feel a lot better!"

"Hahaha you're really funny bro. Just like her,"

"Her? Who?"

"You're fan...you say?"

"Frances? Uh...that girl? Nah. Let's not talk about her."

"You should have joined us."

"Frances doesn't want me to. So I didn't insist. I'm sure she'll not come if I join you. And besides, I think that she became so exhausted and hungry after our practice." wika ni Donghae. Kahit papaano naman ay naaawa siya sa dalaga at ayaw niyang magutom ito. Hindi niya ito inilibre ng pagkain kanina dahil wala rin siyang dalang wallet. Oh diba, pareho silang walang dalang wallet! Hahaha! Meant to be…ayiieeee.

Ganunpaman, hindi sinabi ni Donghae kay Frances ang bagay na iyon dahil baka pagtawanan lamang siya nito.

(A.N: The following characters are talking in Korean.) 

"Teka lang. Maiba ang usapan. Kayo bang dalawa..meron bang..ano..may something bang namamagitan sa inyong dalawa?" pabulong na tanong ni Donghae sa binata.

"Ha? Bakit mo naman naitanong ang bagay na iyon?" tanong ni Siwon.

"Ha? Wala naman. Para kasing ang close-close nyo sa isa't-isa."

"Ganun ba? Madali lang siguro syang pakisamahan kaya napalapit agad ako sa kanya. Hindi ba't ganoon rin naman kayo?"

"Hindi noh. Palagi lang naman kaming nag-aaway sa tuwing nagkikita kami."

"Bro, my point is, hindi ka naiilang sa kanya." wika ni Siwon.

"Ha? Sa bagay, tama ka. Hindi nga ako naiilang sa kanya. Bro, do you think I'm improving? Sa palagay mo ba, hindi na ako ganoong ka-awkward pagdating sa babae?" tanong ni Donghae.

"Siguro," nakangiting sagot nito. "Masaya ako para sayo. Ipagpatuloy mo lang yan."

"Ang alin? Ang pakikipag-away sa kanya? Sa tingin mo ba makakatulong siya sa improvement ko?" inosenteng tanong nito.

"Hahaha. I don't know. Just see it for yourself," wika ni Siwon. Pagkatapos noon ay tinapik na niya ang balikat ng kanyang kaibigan. "Sige bro, una na ako. Pupuntahan ko lang sya, wala kasing maghahatid sa kanya pauwi."

"Sige bro, ingat." wika ni Donghae. Umalis na si Siwon at pinuntahan si Frances. Nagulat na lamang si Siwon nang makita niyang kausap nito si Jessica Jung, ang babaeng palagi na lamang umaaway sa dalaga.

"Frances! You're here," wika ni Siwon kay Frances habang lumalapit dito. Lumingon din sa binata si Jessica Jung at pagkatapos ay ngumiti si Jessica kay Frances. It is a sarcastic smile.

"So, I just noticed that It's not just my ex-boyfriend. It's also the most popular member of Super Junior, Siwon Choi. You're really a flirt." wika ni Jessica.

"One more word, Jessica. One more word. I'm gonna punch you right in the face in no time because you're already pissing me off," mahinahong sambit ni Frances.

"Really? Try me, let's see who's gonna look bad if you do that," pagtataray nito. "Oh! Siwon! I almost forgot that you're here. Aren't you ashamed to be with that girl? That opportunity-seeker? I'm sure that she's flirting not only with you but also with the other guys in town. She's a gold-digger and a social climber!" sambit nito.

"Enough Jessica. I'd rather be with a gold digger and a social climber than with a liar and a pretender."

"How dare you talk to me like that!" wika ni Jessica.

"And how dare you talk to her like that. Stop it, it's too much." wika ng binata. Pagkatapos noon ay hinawakan nya ang kamay ni Frances at lumayo na ang mga ito sa kanya.
