The Ring

Blue Star (Infinite Version)

Superstar idol Kim Sungkyu opened the little blue velvet box on his lap. Nestled inside of it was a simple silver ring with a small gleaming aqua sapphire embedded in it.

“Wow hyung!” Exclaimed Dongwoo and Hoya. Sungkyu was startled he didn’t realized that the other members of Infinite had walked in.

“Are you going to propose to Eun Ae noona tomorrow?” asked the maknae Sunjong at the sight of the gleaming ring.

“N- no, of course not!” stuttered Sungkyu, caught off guard.

“When then?” asked Woohyun curiously.

“I’m not going to” answered the blushing leader.

“What? Why? And what’s with the ring?” Sungyeol questioned.

“Because I didn’t buy this ring for her.” Continued Sungkyu calmly.

“WHAT?!?!?! YOUR CHEATING ON NOONA?!?!?!?!?!?” Yelled L, falling off of his chair in shock.  The other members were equally shocked and angry at their leader’s apparent confession.

“No, no, no I am not cheating on her! I bought this ring about four years ago, and for someone else.” Declared Sungkyu. The six younger boys looked at each other in surprise.

“Who did you get it for? And why do you have it with you today?” asked Hoya.

“A girl named Min Ah. Lee Min Ah. You don’t know her… And I always have this ring with me, but this is the first time I guess that all of you have seen it.” Sungkyu explained. 

“Is she our noona too?” asked Sungjong curiously.

“Yes she is, she’s older a few months younger than me, so she is older than the rest of you.”

“Was she your girlfriend?” asked Woohyun.

“No, she’s always been a friend… just a friend.”

“Oh- ok” said L climbing back on to his seat.

“How come we’ve never met her hyung?” Sungyeol asked his leader.

“I don’t know… I guess it never came up” sighs Sungkyu.

“Can we meet her now?” asked the six others.

“Sure” Sungkyu leads every one downstairs and outside. And they all climb into the Black SUV. After about half an hour on the freeway, Sungkyu turns off the main road and starts weaving through the country streets like a pro.  He stops at a small wooded area.

Everyone gets out and looks around. The place is really beautiful, with a small crystalline pond and a large flat boulder overlooking it. All of Sungkyu’s bandmates seemed awestruck at the wondrous beauty of such a gorgeous alcove.  Sungkyu smiled at the pond longingly, until Hoya broke him out of his reverie.

“Hyung, are you sure this is the right place?”

“Yes of course it it”All the boys look around for the girl that Sungkyu mentioned, but to no avail.

“confused?” asked Sungkyu. They all nod at him curiously.

“Well, look up in the night sky. See those two stars that I’m pointing to? Look at the brighter one.”

“The shiny blue one that keep spinning and twinkling?” asked his friends, wondering where this was leading.

“yes, that is her, right there. Twinkling as bright as she was down here.”

“H- hyung? She’s de- I mean.. gone?” gasps Woohyun.

“She’s dead, but she’s not gone” replies Sungkyu, pulling a yellowing, yet still sealed  envelope out of his front lapel.

“What are you talking about?”

“what’s in the envelope?”

“How come you haven’t opened it yet?”

The boys pepper him with questions and finally Sungkyu shuts his eyes and prepares to tell them the story of Lee Min Ah, wait…no.. not just that story, but also the story of what she taught him.
