The week passed by so quickly and I didn’t even notice it. I was sitting in my room that Friday night, listening to my iPod and thinking about my future and the college I would be in and the life I would be living after college, when someone suddenly popped up in front of my face.

“What the !” I sat up

He laughed at me, “Hello” he smiled

I heaved a heavy breath, “Kyu!” I slapped his arm

He sat on my bed, “Sorry”

“You could’ve killed me, you know that?” I was panting and I ran my fingers through my hair and I pulled off my earphones and set my iPod on the bedside table

“Sorry” he pouted his lips

“Oh my god!” I laughed

He raised a brow, “What?”

I bit my lip, “Nothing . . . it’s . . .” I continued to laugh, covering my mouth with my hand, “I’ve never seen you do this before!” I laughed out louder

He stared at me, seriously. I laughed one last time before I looked at him but I couldn’t hide the humour that was inside my system. I cleared by throat and looked at him, “Sorry”

He smiled at me, “You look really beautiful” he says

“Thanks” I smiled

He looked around my room then back me, “Are your parents here?” he asked

I shook my head, “They flew to London last night” I said

“Want to have dinner tonight? You and me?” he offered

I smiled, “Sure. Give me thirty minutes” I said and stood up and headed for the bathroom

I walked through my walk-in and tried my best to find the perfect outfit, “Dress? No! Shorts? He’d be disapproving this. Jeans? I think he’d go with it” I spoke to myself

I took out a pair of dark blue skinny jeans and a button up cotton light weight shirt and a pair of white Converse. I took off my clothes and jumped in the shower. I quickly shampooed my hair and washed my body with a pink rose scented shower gel and then rinsed off all the residue on my body with warm water. I stepped out, wrapping myself with a white towel. I was my face, brush my teeth and hair and wear my clothes. I step out of the bathroom and Kyuhyun looked up at me.

“Wow” he spoke

I smiled, “What?”

“You look hot” he says

I walk towards him and I smile, “Thanks . . . so . . . where are we going?” I asked, taking my phone and placing it inside my pocket

“Well . . . we have to go somewhere far from here . . .” spoke, “It’s a Friday night and I bet students are flooding restaurants right now we don’t want them to us together” he says

I know what he meant was that ‘we can’t be seen together because if we get caught I would lose you forever’ but I couldn’t help not imagining Kyuhyun not wanting me anymore. It breaks my heart and I breathed in sharply, “So . . . where are we going?”

He plays with his keys, “I’ll show you” he says and gets out the window

I smile and look down the window, “Should I get off the window too?” I shout

He looks back, “No!” he says

I laugh and get out my room and head to the front door. I open the door to his car and we drive off. He extends his hand out to me and I hold it.

“You look good tonight” he speaks

I smile, “I know. You told me”

He takes my knuckles towards his lips and he kisses it. I smile, “Why do you do that?”

“Do what?”

“Kiss my knuckles”

“It shows sincerity and it’s a genuine act” he points out

“Oh . . .” then I take his knuckles and bring it up to my lips and kiss it

He chuckles, “What was that for?”

“Sincerity and it serves as my genuine act” I smiled

He chuckles, “Unbelievable”

We were quiet for sometime but our fingers were still clasped together as we drove to a place I didn’t know where. The drive was long . . . really long and I was feeling really impatient.

“Kyu . . . where are you taking me?” I asked

“Patience” he spoke in the dark, “Thirty more minutes”

I was excited and scared at the same time. Thirty minutes have passed and Kyuhyun’s car stops. He gets out and opens my car door. He kneels in front of me, my eyes widened.

He chuckles, “It’s not what you think” he smiles and wraps a blindfold around my head, “At least . . . not now” he adds

“Kyu . . .” I whisper

“Shhhh” he orders and we walk

I hear the splash of water against the shore and the salty breeze that lingered my nose. The beach! We walk slowly, with Kyuhyun arm wrapped around my waist as he guided me. I could feel my shoes slightly sink in the sand. I giggled. We stop in our tracks and Kyuhyun leaves me for a while. I hear him walk and I hear some sort of switch turn on. He walks towards me again and places himself behind me.

“Ready?” He whispers

I nod

He unties my blindfold and . . . I see the most beautiful dinner set on the beach. Lights hung on the branches of the tree next to the table and two candles were placed along with two plates and two empty glasses. Dimmed lights and a rose on the table made everything look so romantic and I’ve never seen anything like it. I walked towards the circle-shaped table that was covers with white linen. I turned to Kyuhyun and smiled

“It took me a week before I imagined what this place would look like” he walked towards me

“Kyu . . .” I whispered

He looked down at me, “I love you” he planted a kiss on my lips

“I love you too” I whispered against the kiss

He pulled out a chair for me and I sat while he sat across me. He snapped his fingers and a waiter quickly shower up with a silver platter of food. He placed a plate in front of me, a plate of mashed potatoes, sautéed asparagus and steak. Then, the waiter placed a dish in front of Kyuhyun and he bowed in front of us, smiling, “Enjoy your meal, ma’am, sir” he spoke and left

“Kyu . . . this is amazing” I smiled and ate the mashed potatoes

He smiled, “You’re amazing” he smiled

I blushed, “How . . . how did you manage to do this?” I asked

He breathes in sharply, “I . . . have a friend” he spoke

“Who---“ “Kyuhyun! Min Ri!” someone shouted

Kyuhyun and I turned, “Hee Young” I muttered

“Isn’t it beautiful?” she walked towards us

“Hee Young” Kyuhyun smiled

“Hello, Min Ri” she smiled at me . . . a wicked smile

“Hello, Hee Young” I stood up and she gave me a kiss on both cheeks

“Do you like it?” she asked me, smiling

I nod, “Did you do this?” I asked with a smile

She nodded, “Yes . . . I was used to Kyuhyun taking me out for dinner by the shore anyway so, I would basically have an idea of how he wanted it to look” she spoke

Ouch. So, Kyuhyun does this all the time? TO HER, “Oh . . . “I glanced at Kyuhyun

“Kyuhyun did a lot of romantic to me and I always loved it. I’m sure you would too” she takes my hand in hers

I was taken aback by her sentence. Kyuhyun does romantic to her? Really? Wow! How can I compete with that?  

Kyuhyun’s face was pale, “Hee Young” he called her name

“Yes?” she turned to Kyuhyun

“I’m grateful for the favour but please leave me and Min Ri to do our business” he stands and moves right next to me

“Wait” I said  

She smiles, “Min Ri . . . why don’t we keep in touch?” she hands me her calling card

“Sure” I smile and nod then she leaves

Kyuhyun and I sit back and we eat quietly. Actually, I didn’t even eat. I just played with my food because my appetite was long gone.

“It’s not true” he suddenly says

“What?” I looked up at him

“I didn’t do this to her . . . I never did”

“I never asked”

“I know what you’re thinking” he says

I shrug, “It’s not my business anyway” I stop playing with my food and sit back, looking at him

He sets his fork down, “Min Ri . . . I was arranged to get married to her. I didn’t even like her” he spoke, “She’s like a sister to me” he says

I shrug, “Okay” I reply coldly

He sighs and runs his fingers through his hair, “This is pointless” he stands and places his hand in his pocket

I stand and look up at him, “What is?”

“This! Me, explaining to you and you, ignoring me!” he says

“I wasn’t ignoring you! I was simply taking your explanation calmly” I reasoned out

“You’re mad at me” he says coldly

I breathe in, “I am! Okay? Her presence makes me feel like . . . you and me . . . we don’t  . . . “ I trail off, “I want to go home” I say and I walk towards his car. He trails behind me and he unlocks it, in time for me to reach the door and I open it. I get inside the car and so does he.  He starts the engine and he drives.

“You’re being immature” he suddenly says after what felt like twenty minutes of driving

“I’m sixteen. I’m supposed to be immature. What I don’t understand is you’re twenty-five and you act like a fourteen year-old” I say

“I’m not immature” he says and his jaw tightens

“Really!?” I shifted myself from my seat, “Kyuhyun, you asked help from your ex to set up a romantic date for me! That is not something you do! Not to me and not to anyone!” I shouted

“That was my mistake and I know that. Please try to understand that my intentions were clear”

“What was your intention? To make me feel uneasy and uncomfortable in front of you and your ex? Well, you did that pretty damn good, Kyu. I have to tell you that was really epic.”I said

He didn’t respond and he continued to drive. I looked out the window and bit my lip, restraining myself from crying. I failed. A tear trailed down my face. There was this uneasy feeling that was left in my system and was eating me. I knew I couldn’t compete with her. She was . . . what I think, successful and she and Kyuhyun go way way back. Fear and insecurity filled my mind and before I even noticed it, I was already in front of my house. I opened the car door and stepped out. I didn’t even bother on ‘thanking’ him for the most memorable night of my life. I walked up to my room and took out my phone.

I typed in her number and after three rings, she answered, “Hello?”

“Hee Young? It’s Min Ri”

Maybe I wanted to know more and I really wanted to know the truth. I know what I’m about to do will hurt me, maybe even kill me it’s too much but I need to do this. This was the only way I could be relieved and settled. I have to trust my instincts.
