Youngmin's point of view

"There is going to be quite an uproar…" Ju-Nam, the male makeup artist laughed. " What uproar?" I asked, sipping on the hazelnut coffee. "You should take a look at the packet Mr. Kang gave you…. You'll be in quite a surprise." His eyes were mischievous as I took the manila folder from his hands. 

Skimming through the pages, I searched for signs of something out of the ordinary. Unable to see anything strange, I almost scolded myself for listening to Ju-nam's pointless gossiping when something caught my eyes. Opening the packet completely, I stared at the content, bewildered. " Open… set kiss?" Smirking devilishly, Ju-Nam chuckled as he pulled out the last bobby pin, setting it on the table. 

" Is something wrong?" Mr. Kang appeared from behind, grinning happily. Speechless, it took a second to register how to speak again. " What is this?" I asked, pointing at the italicized directions. " The kiss?" He laughed, realizing why I was so panicked. "Oh it isn't that bad! Hayoung is a very pretty girl, I thought you would be thrilled of this scene." Annoyed, I bit my lip, clenching the paper in my hands. I wasn't sure if it was Mr. Kang acknowledging Hayoung's beauty, or the fact that he took something as important as a kiss so lightly. 

"The highlight of this music video is your kiss. It's going to be the top searched video in all of history!" Clapping his hands together, he gestured bright lights. " Youngmin's sweet kiss with newcomer Na Hayoung." He rubbed his palms in satisfaction. Grimacing, I didn't know what to do. " But this is…" My voice faded, realizing that I shouldn't be arguing with the director. 

" Excuse me, Mr. Kang?" Mr. Yong was besides me, his arms crossed. "Yes!" I thought. Mr. Yong would never agree to something like this. " This was not the what we discussed. I only allowed skin ship because you promised there will be no kissing scenes." Grunting, Mr. Kang dramatically threw his hands up. " How does nobody else get it?" He looked  out the room, suddenly calling in Hayoung. Blushing deeply, I felt my face redden. "Yes?" She peeked in from behind the doorway, dressed in a very feminine khaki wool dress with her hair in soft curls.

" Come here, please." Mr. Kang ordered. " I'm going to explain why we need this scene, so listen well the three of you." Smiling suddenly, he grin with a gaze intelligence in his eyes. " This entire music video is about the heartbreak of you two having to separate, despite the fact that you are still very much in love, right?" Nodding, I understood the plot up to there. 

Continuing, he grin became serious. " Then we know that  this memory scene is to show the significance of the two and how strong their love was.The kiss scene will be-" He stopped, facing Hayoung. " Did you say something?" He asked hopefully.

Startled, her clear eyes widened. " Um… It…. will be the memory that the two will always remember, even when they are no longer by each other's side. Clapping in approvment, Mr, Kang complimented her for correct answer. " Exactly. See? It's not that hard to understand." Placing an arm around my shoulder, he smirked. " Any more questions, Youngmin?" Hesitant at first, I gulped before shaking my head. " No, sir."

Hayoung's point of view

"I know that we need the kiss to complete the scene… but what if we change how it is show?" I asked, wondering if there was a chance to please both Mr. Kang, and Mr. Yong. " What did you have in mind?" Mr. Kang asked. "Well… it's true that this may become a top search, but if it's from the fans, then it may have a chance of being more negative that we can handle." He frowned, anticipating whether that was possible. " But you know what they say about popularity, any popularity is good popularity." He defended. 

" That may be true, but right now, Boyfriend is amidst releasing their second single album. I don't think it'll be a good idea to expose that kind of controversy to the public, especially when it involved a celebrity's most precious fans." Eye widening, Mr. Kang and Mr. Yong began to see the aftermath of what would have been created. 

" What should we do then?" Mr. Yong asked, defeated. " Well, I was thinking… how about we do the same scene but the view is changed, where it looks believable that we kissed, when we really didn't. That way, it'll avoid any misunderstandings. : Biting my lip, I wondered if it was a silly idea. " That's a great idea! Mr. Kang gleamed. " I see what you mean now, Mr. Yong! She truly is something." Smiling in relief, I stared at Youngmin happily. " Is that all right with you?" 

His dark brown eyes locked onto mine, slowly nodded. " Y-yeah."

Youngmin's point of view

I knew Hayoung would be against the kiss immediately, especially in front of all these people, but I never thought it would be because she was worried about Boyfriend. Hearing her say how it may affect the selling of our albums, and of our concerning fans surprised me. I couldn't help but feel a bit taken aback. Even now, when there was a chance that she would receive unwanted attention to her as a newcomer, she was only worried about others. 

Somewhat relieved and someone regretful, I sighed. Remembering the kiss from before, of course I would not object, being how little willpower I have, but I knew there would be no way I could recover fast enough in front of everyone to brush it off as acting. I would be revealed in seconds that I had more then just friendly affection towards her. 

"Thank you." I whispered softly enough for her to hear. Smiling, she looked up at me. All the worry and self consciousness of having Minho and Sung-mi here, disappeared. " Let's do our best." She suggested. Nodding, I carefully slid my hand around her's, making sure no one was looking. Reddening, I bit my lip shyly. Tightening her grip around my fingers, she hid her face with her hair in innocent embarrassment.

Kwangmin's point of view

"Two more days!" Dong Hyun collapsed on the bench, exhausted. Minwoo followed behind, sitting on the floor. " I don't want to go!" He complained. " Two more days?" I thought to myself…. " Two more days."

Hayoung would be leaving for America with her mother. I recalled the words Han Yoo-Jin had said to Hayoung that night… " I'm going to announce you as my daughter to the public at the conference meeting." What will happen when everyone finds out that Hayoung is the secret child of the famous Han Yoo-Jin?

The time had already run out, unable to stop her from leaving. I couldn't… it wasn't my right, and neither was it Youngmin's. My mind understood that… but my heart was a different story.

Hyaoung's point of view

Finally it came to  the last scene as we completed the other silent cuts. " Ok! Scene six!" Mr. Kang signaled for the cameras to change position to what we discussed earlier. Sitting side by side to Youngmin on the white bench, I touch the piano softly, fascinated by the sparkling white surface. Unknowingly smiling, I felt a calmness enter my heart from the familiarity of being by the piano. "Start!" Mr. Kang snapped the black and white board as the soft whirling of the cameras rolled on. 

The camera had to shoot in two different shots. The first shot, the camera zoomed in on us as we played cat's cradle together, laughing harmoniously. It didn't take us a long time to be giggling and chuckling because Youngmin kept missing the second key. The second shooting was behind us by Youngmin's side, zooming out of the frame where the kiss would be  "initiated."  Even though I knew that from the position of the crew members and the cameras, they would not be able to fully see our faces, I couldn't help but feel my heart jump. Just being near Youngmin was enough to make my chest run a marathon. 

" As the camera's begun to roll again behind the piano, unable to see us directly, my breath stopped as Youngmin carefully leaned towards me, slowly reaching my lips, barely touching them. His breath was warm and scented of hazelnut, while his familiar cologne began to intoxicate me.

Youngmin's point of view

Already at my limit, I gently stared into her soft brown eyes that continued to draw me even closer. I knew I was only supposed to pretend, but I felt so helpless being this close to her. Embarrassed, I prayed that she wouldn't hear this insane beating of my heart. 

Slowly, I leaned even more, clasping my fingers between her's. Flinching, she looked at me with questioning eyes. I carefully brushed my lips against her's, recognizing that same sweet honey taste. As my eyes closed, I immediately felt my heart pinch in excitement, reacting to my foolish and childish endearment to the girl in front of me.

Hayoung's point of view

Startled, I froze under Youngmin's touch as I felt the electric ripples of his kiss consume me. Slowly, my breath reappeared as I began to recognize that same indescribable emotion escaping from within my chest. My rigid body loosened against the strong grip of his hands, entrapping me with his overwhelming scent. 

Closing my eyes, I responded back by tightening the grip around his fingers, unable to reason with myself to let go, regardless of the chance of someone seeing us. After what seemed forever, the snap of the black and white board made me pull away suddenly. Observing the other crew members, it seemed as if no one was able to see what had happened behind the grand piano. 

" Great job Hayoung and Youngmin." Mr. Kang applauded, thanking everyone else for their hard work. Ju-Nam, the male coordinator handed me a steamy cup of coffee as I thanked him. Once he was  called by Mr. Kang, it was just me and Youngmin sitting outside. For a long time, we were silent, unable to form words into sentences. The cold wind wasn't that harsh since I was wearing a wool dress, but I still shivered secretly. Suddenly, Youngmin pulled off his cardigan, placing it gently around my shoulders. 

"Thank you." I managed to mumble , still shy about earlier. " Are you happy that Sung-mi and Minho is here?" He asked, glancing at the floor. Immediately, I nodded, unable to restrain my excitement. " Tish…I guess Minho is still a oppa to you." he said bitterly. My mouth open slightly regretting what I said, realizing that whenever it came to Minho, it was a touchy subject. " But being here with you… alone, I like best." My face reddened, embarrassed. " Really?" I could sense a smile coming from his lips. " Of course!" I continue, glad it was relieving his bitterness about Minho. " Was that why you were so quiet in the car coming here?" I asked, wondering if that was the explanation for his distant concerned expression from before. 

Turning towards me, Youngmin's large brown eyes sparkled under the star lights. " Is that wrong?" His straight forward answer caught me off guard. Shaking my head, I bit my lip. " I too…" My voice faded off, unable to continue. " What?" He asked, curious. Gulping nervously, I cleared my throat. " I too dislike it when you are around Marie." My response was a bit stronger then I imagined it to be. "Pfft." Youngmin chuckled, amused. Annoyed, I pouted. " What's so funny?" I regretted telling him anything. 

His lively expression, grinned innocently as he suddenly took my hand. " My bad, I didn't mean to laugh. It's just…" I raised an eyebrow, wondering what I had said that made him react so. " It's just that this is the first time I've seen you jealous." Blushing, I felt my cheeks become hot. " I-I-" Stuttering, I was unable to recover myself. " It's cute." He smiled, making my heart slowly start to race. 

" I know I don't have the right to be jealous…" I couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed. Even though we had already kissed, I still didn't know what I was to him. " Says who?" He asked, frowning. " It can't be that you still don't know what you are to me?" Astonished, he stood up, crossing his arms. " Hayoung, do you still not understand my feelings?" Stepping closer, he reached for my hand, placing on his chest. " Do you think my heart would beat this fast for just anyone?" He questioned, staring at me deeply. 

His heart was beating rapidly under my palm, fascinating me. Always, I have always felt the racing of my own heart, but to hear his own heart was incredible. All those time I tried to control the beating of my chest, Youngmin too was try desperately to settle his own. We really were two foolish people, ignorant of the obvious. 

..................................................................................

Youngmin's point of view

" Hayoung… I know it'll be hard and that trying to make this work will be difficult, but I want to be with you." My words were honest, clear and full of emotions. " Youngmin, you know you aren't allowed to date." Hayoung said softly, also understanding the difficulties that comes from having an idol that has thousands of fans as your boyfriend. " I will protect you. I will never let anything happen to you, so…. Will you be my girlfriend?" 

If I had to remember a day where I felt the most embarrassed and shy, it would be this day where I could feel my chest shaking like an earthquake. Looking at the ground, she hid her face with her hair, making me wonder what she was thinking. Placing a finger under her chin, I lifted her face, refusing to let her hide away. " Look at me. Don't avert you eyes when I'm telling you how I feel." i said gently. Her gaze was intense, glittering and sparkling. "Youngmin… there is nothing that I regret after meeting you, except not telling you my feelings sooner. I am inexperienced, and naive at times, but I promise to do my best to make you happy. I don't know what lays ahead of us, but I know that with you, I can face anything….As your girlfriend." Smiling, her expression twinkled happily as we official became a couple.

" I'm not perfect, and I have a lot of faults, but if you can overlook them, I can promise one thing. " My voice was serious, confident. " I promise that tomorrow, and even years from now, I will always feel the same way as I do now. I will always love you." Pulling her into my arms, I hugged her tightly, overwhelmed with happiness. Giggling, she wrapped her arms around my neck. I prayed that tonight would never end, that we would never change, and that we would always be able to look up at the night sky, watching the stars together.
