"Should we kiss like this? or like th.. is..?", Chanhee-hyung tilted his head several times in front of me. We finally have to rehearse our kiss scene. It feels so weird. I should just think about someone else shouldn't I? Hm... let's try Soojoo... ah no. Not her. Now her fiance Alex' weird face came to mind. Byunghun-hyung... That kiss, huh. I don't know a boy's lips would taste that sweet. And even though he said it was his first kiss, he nailed it. He didn't get greedy, keep it all nice and slow.

"Yah, Daniel~", Chanhee-hyung's waving hand brought me back to reality.
"Ah. Hyung... If you're confused, I could be the one who lead", I said.
"What. No. I should be the one who lead here", Chanhee-hyung protested.
"Well... it's not like we're boy and girl here..."
"Aish! so frustrating... how should we do this", Chanhee-hyung giggled.
"Is this your first time, kissing a guy?", I asked.

He looked at me and smirked.
"I couldn't say I have no experience...", he chuckled.
"Whoa... what's that. You should be able to kiss me easily, then", I scoffed.
"Tsk... it's been awhile...", Chanhee-hyung cleared his throat and looked at me deeply, getting ready to delivered his line.

"Is it wrong that I found the whole orphan thing pretty y?", Chanhee-hyung looked deep into my eyes as he snickered, touched my upper arm to build the tension.
"God. What's wrong with you?", I laughed and replied him.
Then here came the pauses. His hand finally travelled to my neck, his face was coming closer. Why should I be the one who receive the kiss?... I grabbed his head softly, and moved forward, he blinked once as I slowly closed my eyes, getting my emotions right. Then his lips touched mine. Should we really went into it? To make a perfect scene we should be exact about everything, rehearse every detail.

Maybe we should just let it in. Okay. I opened my mouth.
It's Soojoo, Soojoo... alright. That one summer in a lazy hot afternoon, we lied down on a roof, smoking and talking endlessly. That garlic taste in like...
"Hm, I think it's fine?", Chanhee-hyung stopped just before I appreciate the sweet taste his lip balm made.
"Just like that? okay. It's fine, just little bite and all?", I giggled and drank the beer beside me.
"Yeah, we don't want to make it too far. But well, if you feel like it was more personal...", Chanhee-hyung wondered.
"No. I think you did it right, it's the first night we met, right?", I checked the script once again and so did he.
"Yeah yeah, you're right. We still found out about each other and stuffs", he snapped his fingers.
"Hum... okay, that's cool. I never think that my character was that kind of kisser anyway. What's next?", I flipped the script to the next page.

"Pfff", Chanhee-hyung chuckled.
"What?", I giggled.
"No... I just really wondered before, how would those lips of yours taste like... and wow. I was just amazed...", he couldn't stop from giggling.
"Well, is that a good thing?", I sneered.
"No. I mean it. You have such a beautiful lips, Daniel... believe me", he put on a serious face.
"Heol. Hyung, you creeped me out", I chuckled.
"Aaay, shouldn't we a romantic couple in our play. Or is there someone that would be jealous of us?", he asked me mischievously.

"Who? are you still curious about Byunghun-hyung?", I frowned.
"Ye-es. Because if you're in relationship with him... you should be careful", said Chanhee-hyung convincingly. What was this guy into, I wonder...
"Eh? why? yah, weren't you both friends in junior high?", I asked confusedly.
"Yeah, we were friends. If you asked everyone from our junior high you would know that he's not like what you think he is", he said, leaned his back to the chair.
"What? what do you mean?"
"I see you're late this morning", he sighed.
"Yeah. I had to drive Byunghun-hyung to his regular medical check", I replied.
"Really? so early in the morning? are you living together?", he smirked.
"Sharing a room. Yes. We're flatmates, what's wrong about that?", I giggled to keep the conversation in ease.

"No... there's nothing wrong about that at all. I know Byunghun had some rare disease, right. Ha, it must be hard for you being his flatmate... and you have to attend university, PLUS, you have this drama rehearsal", said Chanhee-hyung as he casually smile at me while tucking his shirt back into his short.
"Oh. So his disease was quite well-known in junior high?", I asked.
"Of course. Everyone knows", he replied. Then I remember what Mrs. Lee said about the hardship that Byunghun-hyung had in junior high.
"He never tell anyone about his disease in high school, though", I said.
"Really? ah... ahaha", Chanhee-hyung somehow found it very amusing. He took a deep breath and stood up.

"Well, I have to get going to a magazine photoshoot now", he said as his manager came to him and ask him to go to the van soon.
"Ah, yes. Bye then", I waved him a goodbye.
I watched his lean figure walked further. He greeted some of the crews and other actors then he stopped for a chat with someone I recognize. Changhyun. They spoke like brothers. Chanhee-hyung is an important figure to this drama, since he got his break out with a box office film last year, now his fanbase is the crowd inviting aspect for us.

"Yo, Niel", Changhyun greeted me.
"Heol. Since when you called me Niel?", I gave him a menacing stare.
"Uh, why are you so hostile... I just called you the way Byunghun-hyung called you", he giggled and followed me outside.
"Or... you mind if I called

Chapter 33: Author-nim

I dropped by here again just want to say that I still love this story so much. Like muuuuuuucchhhhh. This story is indeed beautiful and heart clenching.

Last time I read this fic, it was one year ago and I re-read this fic again. This story still makes me want to cry so much. It still makes my heart ache on the last chapter.

And I still like Dani and Honey's story even now. That fairytale is really good one. You should make it as published book I think. Hehehe.


Anyway, thank you for writing this beautiful story. I will always like to read this story again and again. You are a good writer. Really.

Chapter 33: Gosh...I can't ㅠㅠ I finished this story while reading it on a rainy day and a sad piano instrumental ...too much tears on my pillowcase ㅠㅠ Especially the end part where he died....My family looked at me as if I was insane O.o I love this story, it is so realistic! (Lol, I even thought that Honey's disease is a real disease but when you said on Chapter 21 that it is'nt, I was mindblown) You're creativity is just...in the maximum level! To be honest, I find this story better than those cliche ones on bookstores kekeke~

I finished this yesterday and i was stunned..i guess no matter what , i wanted to believe byunghun would make it alive somehow.
I was having a hard time sobbing until midnight xD.
But i still have a question
How come..he was in coma when niel was in paris but was there with niel as well ..it cant be a dream bec the violin is a proof..besides he told niel that 7th bday thing .
Ugh anyways i gotta admire your creativity ..how u planned it ALL beforehand !!!
It was perfect, so detailed n realistic.Niel's last words eased me a bit.
Are u punishing for those five years..
eE will see ..i have all of my life to love u and when we meet im gonna say i won !!!
