February 2012;Chloe   It's 2pm and I'm already on my 3rd mug of coffee, I looked the pieces of crumbled paper on my marble floor and sighed.    My stomach growled in response and I thought of those crappy meals I had for the past few days. Just a few mouthfuls of Cesar salad and coffee can last me throughout the day. I should cook dinner today to treat myself for those late nights and hard work, I thought.    "Baby, do you want some chicken tonight?" I spoke to a husky that is currently chewing my socks. Again. I should feed him better today, he has been eating crap with me these days too.   "I'm going out for a while okay, baby?" I strolled to my washroom and tried to smooth my tangled hair. Putting on a spaghetti top with jeans, I took my leather jacket from my closet. Looking at the hoodie on my bed, "Don't wear it out Chloe." I mentally shook myself.    I reached the supermart near my house in 30 mins, and went straight to the camping supplies section, I've decided to take a short break to the beach this weekend. I will be driving down to the Sokcho beach tomorrow, but I don't know if I can make it with only my GPS. Jeremie offered to come with me when he knew I was going alone, but I told him I was okay with it.    "It's gonna be super boring okay, I'll just be looking at the waves."    "Mmmmm okay then. Call me if anything happens ok."    "I'll be fine." I assured him.    Now pushing the huge trolley, I placed some insect repellant and camping supplies into my cart. I thought it would be good to have those, even though I'm not really camping.    Next, I went to grab some frozen meat to make dinner tonight and some for my mini picnic alone tomorrow.    I was looking at chips when suddenly I heard someone called me, "Chloe!" A male voice coming from in front.    I glanced up in surprise and saw Minwoo oppa striding towards me. He looks fabulous, with a long jacket and jeans that hugged his thighs. The longing I had for the past few days came back to me with a vengeance.    "Shopping?"    "Yea.. Oppa.."    "Didn't see you for many days, are you writing the songs?"    "Erm yea.. Oppa, I already texted Eric to tell him about Venus, I told him to give me more time.." I'm feeling guilty that I took so long for Venus unlike my other songs.    "Yes yes I know. Don't worry about it." He seems to understand.    "Are you going somewhere?" He was looking at the camping supplies I bought. Should I tell him?    "Mmmm.. Yea just for a while."    "With Jeremie?"    "No, I'm going alone."    "Where are you going?" He rested his leg against the trolley, and smiled lazily.    "Sokcho beach.." I looked into his eyes before I'm caught ogling at his legs.    "Do you know how to go? It's pretty far from here."    I can't tell him I at directions right? Don't embarrassed yourself Chloe. I chided myself.    "I have the gps.." I finally said.  "Oppa I have to get going soon." I wanted to leave as soon as possible, I can't stand so close to him without wishing for the impossible.    "Okay, let me take your trolley." He suddenly gripped my trolley and made his way to the cashier.   "Oppa it's oka..." He was already in front of me, and at the cashier before I could finish my sentence.    "Minwoo oppa! I'll pay for it myself please!" I'm not used to any guys paying for my stuff, just my brothers.    "It's okay Chloe, let me buy it for you." He grinned at me.    "No, oppa, I can.." I tried to protest.   "There's so many people here, they'll recognise me soon, let's leave quickly okay?" He cut me off and started to laugh.    "Why are you laughing?" I looked down at myself, maybe I wasn't wearing any pants, I thought. I tried to smooth my hair down too and he must have caught me.    "No I'm not laughing at your hair, I'm laughing because you look like I'm going snatched your stuff. Don't worry about it, I'll buy it for you okay." He grinned again, looking like a model out from a fashion magazine.    I couldn't help but smile too, becoming comfortable in his presence.    A little voice at the back of mind was reminding me who I was again, just an ordinary girl.    Back home, After dinner, I folded clothes and moved another load through the dryer. Unfortunately, it was the kind of job that only keeps my hands busy. My mind definitely had too much free time, and it was getting out of control. I fluctuated between anticipation that was so intense that it was nearly pain and an insidious fear that picked my resolve.    I had to keep reminding myself that I've made my choice, and I wasn't going back on it. He was going with me, to Sokcho beach and it's just two of us. Does that mean he likes me? I wondered. It was too late to reject his offer, I would just hold on to the faith that, in the end, that my desire to see him would win out over the other choice.     What was my other choice—to avoid him? Unbearable. Besides, since I came to Korea, it really seems like my life was about him.    But a tiny voice in the back of my mind worried, wondering if it would hurt very much.. If it ended badly.    Walking over to the kitchen again, I prepared the meat and salads for tomorrow. Does he like salads? I don't think so. Maybe I should make some sandwiches, I thought. Korean food are still foreign to me.    It seems like I couldn't sleep today, like most days. I wonder how would it feel to love properly, without those messy in-between. How would it feel to receive warm hugs? To cuddled against his chest?    I suddenly recalled my relationship in the past, all I had was cuts and bruises. To feel that again, scares me.            "Ding."    Still in a daze, I sat upright on my bed. It's already morning?    _______________Minwoo_______________ Chloe. I'm outside.    _____________________________________   "OH MY GOD." I bolted out of my bed and glanced at the clock.    "10.05am!" I gasped. My hair was in a mess and I'm wearing his hoodie. I rushed into the washroom after grabbing a tank top and sweat pants. Splashing cold water onto my face, I changed quickly and flew to the door.    And there he was, standing outside my gate. He wasn't smiling at first, but his expression lighten when he saw me.    "I'm sorry oppa!" As I rushed out.    "Just woke up?" He grinned, wearing a top that matched his jeans, and another one of his hoodie he gave me.    I was suddenly aware of my appearance,
