“I thought about how there are two types of secrets: the kind you want to keep in, and the kind you don't dare to let out.” ― Ally Carter, Don't Judge a Girl by Her Cover

 

Summer

 

Mia stared at her soup, playing around with her spoon.

“You are so lucky!” The Japanese girl she met last week said with full. “I heard he is super rich and famous around the college. Heard his parents died in a car accident and his grandpa adopted him. The man is filthy rich and owns a lot of companies.”

Mia stared at the girl pretending to be interested; and she was to a certain degree.

Ondrew was very fascinating to Mia and he was going to be her partner on the Recover the College Project. They had a big wall to paint and decorate and that meant a lot of hours to be together. But at the same time, Mia didn’t care about his financial and popularity status at all.

“He is the man every woman on campus wants! You should be careful!”

Mia released her spoon into the soup with a splash.

“Why?”

“Don’t fall for him and…” she lowered her voice approaching Mia ear “if it happens don’t let anyone know. His fans can kill you!”

Mia swallowed her saliva and tried to ignore the pang in her heart.

Falling for him was not going to happen!

As if it was predestined; Ondrew entered the cafeteria, wearing his blue jeans and a white shirt, yet still looking like a prince.

Mia stood up and walked to him ignoring the look the other girl gave her.

She stopped in front of him and he behold her expressionless making Mia wonder if he even remembered her.

“Today I’ll be at 4 o’clock near the wall waiting for you to help me. Ok?”

“Help you?” He asked peeking behind her at the menu on the wall.

“Yes. Painting the wall! You said you would help me!”

He smiled and put a hand on her shoulder moving her away from him.

His touch made her froze and lose reaction. Mia didn’t know why he had that power over her but the man was breathtaking.

“Yes sure!” he walked away ready to order his food and Mia only stared at him.

Maybe Ondrew truly forgot who she was! Rude!

Rude!

Mia was waiting for one hour now, stumping her feet on the ground, starting to freeze, the white suit she was wearing to not stain her clothes was very cold.

Ondrew clearly forgot about what she said, or worse was really skipping it on purpose.

She was going to start working alone since the teacher responsible for the group already brought the white paint, when she saw him with two friends coming on her direction.

Good! He was late but at least he remembered.

She frowned trying to show how upset she was with him but he didn’t stop or even look at her. He walked by Mia and climbed the stairs up to the building, a book hanging on his hand.

Mia stared dumbfounded at him. He ignored her completely. Ondrew was an !

She groaned and turned around grabbing a bucket of paint and started to paint the wall on one of the corners.

She would do it alone! She didn’t need his help.

“IDIOT!” Mia said out loud.

He couldn’t hear it since he was up the stairs now but Ondrew turned around and noticed her.

Ondrew could see by the way she fiercely painted the wall that she was mad and somehow that turned him on a lot.

Mia was a mystery to him. She was lovely with her curly hair and red lips, but at the same time she wasn’t much different from other girls around him. However he felt like someone else around her. Mia made him recall someone he learned to forget about.

“She is hot!” his friend observed following his gaze.

“Keep away from her!” Ondrew hissed tuning around.

Mia was his!

He had plans for her!

 

2d2c4l0.jpg

 

Mia put the brush on the painting container and stared at a whole afternoon work. She painted more than half of it and there was still one hour or two of work to finish it.

She silently encouraged herself and stretched her arms ready to start work again.

She was so concentrated in the task, the brush slowly coming downwards covering the wall with white and hiding the graffiti; that she didn’t notice Ondrew coming down the steps, with the same book under his arms. He stopped at the end of the stairs and watched her. She was still there; she worked a whole afternoon alone.

Ondrew walked slowly to the black car waiting for him on the entrance of the school, his eyes never leaving the girl with curly hair.

His driver opened the door for him and he looked back something coming to his mind, the day he agreed to help her.

That day Mia waited for someone to raise their arm. She looked around the class, her sparkling eyes losing the spark and Ondrew saw himself raising his arm. He didn’t know exactly why he did that, but he suddenly wanted to do anything to make her look excited once again.

She looked at him surprised and he couldn’t help but look away. It was weird. But he couldn’t look at her at the moment. He normally was so blunt with girls but she made him slightly nervous.

Maybe it was because she was foreigner, or maybe because she always seemed so happy and confident of herself, or maybe because she was like someone he knew once.

“Wait!” Ondrew threw the book inside the car and walked away from the car and in Mia direction.

She didn’t notice him and he sat far away from her watching her work for one hour and a half. His was hurting and he felt cold but she was probably more tired than him.

Ondrew watched Mia while she took the white suit off and put it inside a plastic bag.

She grabbed the bucket of paint and admired her work before taking it to the big closet where they instructed her to keep the materials.

He waited and ten minutes later, Mia came back rubbing her sore arm, her face washed but still a little splat of white paint was visible on her hair.

He chuckled and walked back to the car where his driver was waiting for him and closed the door rubbing his cold hands.

“Follow that girl please!”

They slowly followed her and Ondrew didn’t take his eyes from her. She stopped by a bus stop and sat down.

He watched her for a while. Her eyes were sparkling even though he was an and didn’t help her. Her checks were red and she seemed tired.

“Should we wait and follow the bus?” his driver asked startling Ondrew.

“No. Let’s go!”

The car pulled away from the parking space and Ondrew eyes didn’t leave her while the vehicle passed by Mia.

 

2d2c4l0.jpg

 

Mia tried to come down the stairs without pouring out any paint. It was mandatory that it lasted until the wall was completely painted. It was time to paint again and make the color stronger.

She put the bucket down and someone touched her shoulder making her jump. It was so early in the morning, the college was almost deserted.

“Good morning!” a strong voice said and she looked at Ondrew face. He was wearing a white suit just like hers and seemed ready to paint.

“You came!”

She seemed so surprised and he felt warm inside. There was a slightly change on the way she was looking at him. Mia felt grateful!

“Yes. What are you doing? Let’s work!” he grabbed the brush and started painting. She gazed at him on a daze. There was something very hot about seeing a rich bachelor painting a wall just like a normal person.

Mia giggled and grabbed her brush starting to paint by his side.

Ondrew looked at her by the corner of his eyes. She was so close his shoulders sometimes would bump.

“Go to the other side!” he yelled elbowing her away and she did what he asked. They could meet halfway.

“Thank you for coming!” she said after a while “I don’t really care if you are rich or famous or whatever. If you didn’t want to do this you shouldn’t have promised!”

“You are right! But I’m here now!”

The fact that he actually agreed with Mia made her confused.

Some students gathered behind them watching the scene and Mia felt uncomfortable with the attention. Surprisingly Ondrew didn’t seem to notice they were there.

“Am I forgiven?” he asked walking to her “friends?”

Mia stared at him.

“I guess….”

He nodded smiling and she felt her heart stop. Why was he so handsome?!

Ondrew turned back to work and didn’t say anything else.

 

 

Fall

 

Like a ninja secret agent Lucy entered the company where Prince Max works. She will surprise him with a divine and delicious bento box.

She jumped a little and waited outside the elevators door knowing he will come down soon to go out for lunch.

Lucy daydreamed about the way he will react when he sees her there waiting for him.

The elevator doors open once again and she tries to find him in the middle of the crowd.

He sees her and frowns and Lucy realizes she made a mistake.

“Max!” she calls him and walks to her.

“What are you doing here?”

She makes a suspense drum roll and shows him the bento box decorated with cute little birds.

“I made you lunch!”

“Are you trying to kill me?” Max chuckled making Lucy sulk “you are the worst at cooking!”

“Mia helped me this time. It’s good! Try it! I did my best”

“Lucy go home! I’m going to have lunch with my coworkers. Please don’t bring me lunch. It’s a waste since I’m going out.”

“You can show them the bento box I prepared. They will be jealous that you are so loved!”

“Just go!” he pushed her away slightly but Lucy resisted.

“Max don’t be like this!”

She didn’t have time to complain more because a beautiful brunette woman, wearing a black suit and high heels stopped by Max side.

“Ready to go?”

“Oh Hi!” Lucy said trying to act friendly even though she was burning with jealousy. So he was going to have lunch with a woman!

Max grabbed Lucy box from her hand throwing it into the trash bin.

“Go home and stop being silly!” he said upset with her, before signaling the other woman to follow him to the exit of the building.

Lucy looked inside the trash bin and angry and embarrassingly tears swelled in her eyes.

She tried really hard and put all her love into that box.

She pulled it from the trash can and closed it, putting it inside the plastic bag again.

Lucy walked to the bus stop crying. Max was more than an idiot. He was rude and mean and she hated herself for still loving him.

She cleaned her eyes and sat by a man’s side on the bus stop,

“Hey!” he greeted her and she almost fell from the bench. It was Lee, her neighbor, the kimchi owner and also the guy who looked like a copy of O., her idol.

“Oh Hello!”

Lee observed her and the way she rubbed her hands against each other. She was nervous and her eyes red. She was crying! “Are you ok?”

Lucy studied him wondering what to answer when the bus arrived.

She stumbled up and let her bag fall. He grabbed it and gently carried it inside the bus. She followed him and he sat down on one of the seats, his eyes inviting her to seat with him.

It was rude not to do so, even though she wanted to be alone, so she sat by his side.

She was going to grab the bag but he kept it.

“It’s ok. We are going to the same place. I can hold it for you.” He put it into his lap and couldn’t help but notice the cute bento box with little birds.

“Oh. A bento box! I love this kind of things!” he grinned and she sighed. He even had a similar smile to O. Was god punishing her now?

Max ditches her for a bimbo and her neighbor makes her think about the unattainable O.

They didn’t say anything during the bus ride and not even when they walked back from the bus stop to the building both lived. They walked side by side and it didn’t felt uncomfortable.

“I have a cat!” he said suddenly broking the long silence.

“I know…I saw him the other day!”

“Kimchi!”

She nodded and he bit his lower lip trying to think about something to say.

“He is a very special cat. He smiles!”

“I KNEW IT!” she said out loud “I did see him smile!”

Lee stared at her surprised with her reaction and Lucy laughed.

“I knew he did smile. I mean I’m always talking with him…”

Lee eyebrows rose confused and Lucy covered . He didn’t know she was the cat fairy. She needed to be careful.

“I mean I….Talk with cats a lot!”

She smiled shyly and looked away wishing he wouldn’t find her strange and he didn’t. Lucy looked rather cute instead. An oddball like him, a very beautiful oddball!

He blushed looking away and they reached the building climbing in silence.

He gave her bag back to her and she bid him farewell climbing the remaining stairs quickly.

Once Lucy arrived home she dressed her pajamas and hide with a blanket on the balcony reading.

A cute meow made her realize Kimchi was downstairs calling her.

“She leaned on the ledge of the balcony looking down.

“KIMCHI! I knew you smiled! You are a very smart cat!”

The cat blinked his green eyes and opened his mouth making her chuckle.

“Are you smiling? You are proud right?”

Lee came out and Lucy hid again. Damn! She was almost caught once again. It was as if he was always waiting for Lucy to show up so he could try to surprise her.

“Hi fairy!” How are you?”

Lucy closed her eyes and leaned her head against the wall.

“Sad…”

She heard Lee sit on the red chair he had on his balcony. It looked so comfortable.

“Why?”

“I had a very interesting and fulfilling plan!” Lucy didn’t know why she was opening up to that man she barely knew but he was so much like O. Maybe it was a sign. “I knew exactly what I was doing here in Korea and now I see myself drifting away!” suddenly making Max marry her didn’t seem like a valid plan.

“Isn’t it like that for everyone? We make plans but things never end up like we planned. Sometimes they end up even better!”

Lucy sighed and stretched her legs.

“I hope they end up better then!”

“They will. Trust me!”

They feel into silence and Lee wondered why he wanted so much to know that woman who was always hiding from him. Apparently Alex was her name…Could he be falling for someone he never met?

He felt silly. Was he falling for every woman he saw lately?! There was he girl on the bus too. She was so pretty and weird and somehow he wanted to find everything about her.

“Can I see you?” he asked making Lucy hide inside the room again. “Guess not…”

Kimchi jumped on his owners lap and laid down ready to sleep.

“Is she pretty as she sounds?” Lee asked Kimchi who didn’t answer back.

Lucy laid down on her bed. She didn’t know why she was suddenly smiling. Maybe it was Kimchi or Lee or maybe she was just bipolar. She grabbed her phone and she had a message of Max. That made her smile even more. He was going to say he was sorry and she was going to forgive him and be happy once again.

However she sulked when she read it. It was just a stupid text remembering her to get his clothes at the dry cleaner.

 

 

Winter

 

Charlotte tidied up the living room after hurricane Lucy passed by it; and then settled on her desk in the bedroom she shared with Mia, ready to analyze the drawing her students did about their families. It seemed like a no importance assignment but it was imperative to see how they visualized their family.

She smirked at some of the drawings until she get to the one she wished to see more.

Eun Sun drawing was nothing more than a big man almost filling the whole paper and a big black circle that seemed like a hole. She drew herself with a crying face and Charlotte jumped when someone touched her shoulder.

“Wow that’s a very scary drawing!” Mia said caressing her shoulder. “Is that kid alright?”

“That’s what I’m trying to find out. Something is definitely not right with her.”

“She draws well in a scary way!” Lucy said showing up with a towel around her head, covering her hair and an old pajama.

Mia jumped with her Minnie pajama on her bed and lied down.

“I’m soooooo tired. My arms hurt, my legs hurt, my head hurts, my soul hurts…”

“At least you got to be around the y Ondrew!”

Lucy did the eyebrow game suggesting Mia something and she looked away.

“You don’t even know how he looks…”

“I do. I googled him! Damn he is a piece of delicious chicken!”

“You make it sound so disgusting!” Alex screamed from outside the room.

“I’m trying to work” Charlotte said in a low voice, even though she was smiling.

“You goggled him?” Mia looked from Lucy to Charlotte and then to Alex was at the doorway. “All of you?”

“It was Lucy idea!” Alex defended herself.

“I wanted to know who the stud that is making you tired is!”

“Stop that!” Mia said tiredly. “He is an !” even though he was actual sweet when he showed up to help.

“I’m going to take the garbage outside!” Alex announced leaving the bedroom.

“That drawing is really weird! Tim Burton movie material!” Lucy approached Charlotte. “Is that a big black monster?”

It was a big black something and it was something that scared that little girl a lot. Between her and the “monster” was her dad, big and colorful. Her hero!

Charlotte needed to know that man! It was important.

Charlotte stood up and grabbed her bag where she put the file with every child information.

She skipped all until she found Lee Eun Sun name.

Lucy laid down by Mia side and the younger woman tried to push her away.

“Why?” Lucy cried trying to hug the other woman.

“You move a lot and I can’t sleep!” she complained and Lucy sulked standing up.

“It’s boring at my room alone! Alex is outside!”

“My head hurts!” Mia complained.

Charlotte ignored the bickering on the background.

Something caught her attention. The name of Eun Sun guardian was Jinki, the teacher she met at school. That explain the odd look he gave her, but doesn’t explain what was going on there. Was he the black “monster” or the colorful one?

He was so young, not much older than her and he already had a kid.

She needed to find out more. Charlotte needed to talk with him the next day.

 

2d2c4l0.jpg

 

Talking with Eun Sun guardian proved to be harder than she thought it would. He wasn’t at the teachers’ lounge and she wondered around asking for him with no avail. When Charlotte was going to give up she saw him enter the room.

He looked at her when she approached him and the request to talk with him about Eun Sun didn’t seem to surprise him.

“Can we talk about it somewhere else? There is a coffee shop on the end of this street. Their cappuccinos are really good.”

Charlotte accepted his invitation and both walked there together.

She didn’t have to say anything or ask anything because once they made their order he started talking about what she wanted to know.

“Eun Sun is my daughter. I’m her legal guardian. Is she ok? How are her grades?”

“I didn’t know. I was just curious when I saw the file. She seems to be a good student, a very clever and sensitive girl.”

“She is precious!” he grabbed his iced American.

“She is. She seems sweet but I’m not able to reach her.”

His cold eyes contemplated Charlotte and she felt as if she was stepping into a cold ice lake ready to crack.

“What I mean is that sometimes she is very aggressive to other kids, especially boys. She seems to have a very wrong idea about man.”

Jinki looked down at the table smiling, but it was cold has his eyes.

“Eun Sun had a complicated past.”

“I realized that because she told me some things…”

“She did? What did she tell you?”

Jinki stared at charlotte, as if he was staring into her soul and she felt uncomfortable, she probably was even blushing.

“Well…she…”

“Forget it! I don’t even want to know!” he sipped his iced Americano again and Charlotte remembered that she still had a cappuccino to drink too.

“I just wonder, why she says weird things about her dad…”

Jinki choked and glowered at the woman in front of him.

“I’m her dad! The only one!”

“But she sometimes seems to talk about two different people!”

“I’m sorry. This is something personal. I don’t want to be rude or anything but you are trying to dig into something Eun Sun took a long time to forget.”

“Forget? I don’t think she did..” Charlotte needed to show him the drawing and tell him what she told her outside class that day.

“Let’s stop here!” he stood up, his hands clenched into fists and Charlotte knew she was going too far.

“I’m sorry, I’m just worried!”

“Don’t! Eun Sun is ok!”

He looked at Charlotte one last time and then left.

Jinki clearly didn’t want to talk about that subject anymore.

 

2d2c4l0.jpg

 

Charlotte stared at the rain falling. She was still inside the building watching kids leave. Why did she forget to bring an umbrella?! She sighed thinking about the bus she was missing until she noticed a girl with a red rain-coat and blue rubber rain boots, Eun Sun.

She was giving her hand to Jinki and the girls seemed happy talking with him about something.

It was a very sweet scene and Charlotte realized she never saw Eun Sun so happy. That wasn’t the “black monster” from the drawing; clearly Jinki was the colorful hero. That made Charlotte relieved. At least she was with someone she clearly loved and didn’t feel afraid of.

Charlotte held her breath when her eyes moved to Jinki. He was smiling. Not his usual fake smile, but a beautiful true one, his eyes disappearing into thin lines. He was a very handsome man and she couldn’t help but stare at him the whole time.

He noticed her then and she blushed giving him a small smile. His expression changed into a more restrained smile but he politely bowed to her. Little Eun Sun bowed too and they walked away.

 

2d2c4l0.jpg

 

It was another rainy day and kids felt restless since they couldn’t play. That’s why Charlotte took them to the playground once shy rays of sun started to appear from behind the clouds.

She stared at them playing on the slide or running around the sandbox.

In the meanwhile, Charlotte did small talk with the staff assisting her, and that accompanied her to the playground to help. They watched the kids with a smile.

Eun Sun wasn’t playing; she was sitting with her legs crossed in the middle of the playground, ignoring the kids running around her.

Charlotte walked to the girl and crouched in front of her.

“What’s wrong? Why aren’t you playing?”

“I had a nightmare last night! I feel sad!”

“What was it sweetie? “

Charlotte caressed the little girl head.

“Daddy came back and hurt me!”

Charlotte frowned. She was clearly talking about the black monster right?!

“He isn’t here anymore. That was a nightmare. It’s not real. You are safe!”

The young girl looked at Charlotte fiercely, her cheeks starting to get red and she stood up.

“NO! WE ARE NEVER SAFE! NEVER!”

Charlotte grabbed the girl arm.

“We?”

The girl removed Charlotte hand away.

“You don’t understand!” she screamed running away and Charlotte stood there for a while not realizing what was happening until she decided to run after the girl.

She searched the school ground and didn’t found her. Then she went back to the staff and asked for help.

They searched for a while, but the girl seemed to have disappeared.

“She couldn’t have left the school right?” Charlotte asked desperately. Something like that never happened to her.

“Where is she?” A strong voice asked from behind Charlotte and she turned around. Eun Sun dad, Jinki, was there and he didn’t seem happy.

“I swear she just vanished but I searched everywhere…”

“You mentioned it didn’t you?”

“What?”

“The past….YOU SHOULDN’T!” he yelled frustrated looking around “You should have taken care of her!” the angered look he sent Charlotte made her feel like crying.

“I did, I tried talking with her…”

“AISH!” he groaned and walked away, probably going to search for the little girl alone.

Charlotte sobbed. How could she lose a girl inside the school?!

 

2d2c4l0.jpg

 

Charlotte sat on the teacher’s lounge, with a cup of coffee in her hand. Only half an hour since the girl disappeared but it seemed like eternity.

Two other teachers where trying to comfort her, saying Eun Sun did that all the time. She knew the perfect places to hide but Jinki would find her.

Charlotte nodded absentminded until she saw Eun Sun enter the room followed by Jinki.

She stopped at the entrance and looked shyly at her English teacher.

Jinki pushed the girl forward and she walked with uncertainty on Charlotte direction ending in front of her.

“I’m sorry!” the girl said with “broken” English reproducing what teacher Charlotte tried to teach them on class. “I’m sorry I ran away!” she completed in Korean.

Charlotte grabbed the little girl into her arms, tears of relieve escaping her eyes.

“I’m so glad you are fine.”

Her eyes meet Jinki ones and he rubbed his neck embarrassed.

“I’m sorry too” Charlotte released the little girl. “I shouldn’t have yelled with you. I was worried and upset!” Jinki answered smiling slightly.

“It’s ok!” Charlotte cleaned her eyes with her fingers “I understand!”

Jinki pulled a paper tissue from the table nearby and offered it to her.

Charlotte thanked him with a nod of her head and she noticed how his eyes softened to her.

Now she only needed to find out what happened, if she wanted to help that little girl.

But before that she needed to convince Jinki to tell her.

However he didn’t seem very keen in returning to the past.

 

 

Spring

 

Alex pulled the heavy yellow bag and wondered what was inside it. Could they really make all that trash?! She groaned and tried to reach her destination, the several big bins for trash outside the building.

Someone was coming inside the building and helped Alex.

“Lee right?” Alex asked looking at the tall man by her side. He looked a lot like O., her favorite idol, but he was a slacker version of him.

“Yes….and you are?”

“Alex!”

“OH!” the man almost tripped on his feet and stared at Alex as if she had something on her forehead. She touched it to be certain.

“Something wrong?”

He was probably wondering why she had a boy’s name.

“Nothing, I just thought I met you before!”

“You did once on the stairs!”

The man looked confused. That was the cat fairy but….but her voice didn’t match.

Lee helped Alex pull the bag the rest of the way and they finally reached it. Alex noticed how his never left her face. Lee was studying her.

He sighed and looked around not knowing what to say. Maybe he should mention his cat.

Lee didn’t have a chance to say anything because he noticed someone on the balcony above his.

Lucy was there only wearing her pajamas and a towel on her hair.

He blushed when he saw her take the towel off, the wet lockets of her hair falling around her face. Damn! That vision almost made his heart explode.

Alex chuckled noticing what happened.

“Is that your bedroom?” Lee asked pretending to be fine.

“Yes, and Lucy’s too!”

“She sleeps there?” he stuttered realizing his mistake.

“That’s what people normally do on their bedrooms!”

Alex rubbed her neck and Lee smiled as if he found out something important. Lucy was his cat fairy. That made sense and he couldn’t be happier.

“THANKS!” he yelled before running back home leaving Alex behind.

“Only weird people live in this building!” she mumbled grabbing the bag and throwing it inside.

She cleaned her hands on each other and walked back home watching Lucy disappear inside their bedroom. That’s when she noticed someone on the balcony next to theirs.

So the mysterious Onew was out. He was wearing a white shirt and pajama pants and Alex couldn’t see his features well but damn he looked hot.  She tried to see better, setting her eyes on the man until she realized that he was also carrying a trash bag, dragging it outside his house and into the balcony.

“What is that weird man doing?” she whispered curious.

He was oblivious to her presence and raised his hand to his head.

It was red and Alex froze.

Was that blood? Did he kill someone?!

She gasped suddenly feeling like she was inside a horror movie and then he looked down at her making her reflexes kick in.

Alex ran to the back of the trash bins hiding.

Still she was sure he saw her and if he did murder someone she was a witness now.

!

She peeked from behind the bin and he wasn’t there anymore.

Should she call the police? Tell the landlord?

What to do?!

She swallowed nervously and run inside the building and up the stairs. Alex never ran so much in all her life, her heart beating in her ears.

She stopped a few steps before Onew door and tried to act normal and breathe normal, so if he was watching he would think she didn’t see anything.  The few steps between his door and hers seemed like kilometers away and she could swear she heard a small thump on his door. She knew he was watching her by the peephole.

Alex tried to keep herself calm and inserted the code of her house quickly hiding inside.

She sighed of relief and run to her room where Lucy was by her bed blow drying her hair.

She back hugged Lucy making her jump.

“Alex you scared me!”

Alex grabbed the blow dryer from Lucy hand and turned it off.

“I almost died with a heart attack right now!”

Lucy stared at her friend worried. “What happened?”

“The guy next door…” Alex tried to recover from the running.

“The weirdo?” Lucy asked combing her dump hair with her fingers

“He is a murder….I saw!”

“Oh My God! What?” Lucy seemed as scared as Alex.  “No way? How? What?”

“I saw blood on his hand!”

“He cut a finger!”

“NO! He was holding a bloody bag with someone inside!”

“! You must have imagined it!”

Alex instructed Lucy to talk lower. He could be listening to them, on the room next to theirs.

“Maybe he was painting the walls…”

“Red? No…I’m sure!”

Lucy sat on her bed trying to calm Alex down.

“Maybe he likes red very much!”

Alex stared at Lucy and gave up.

“I’m certain of what I saw!”

“You are just bored Alex. You need to find a job! I’m sorry sweetie but staying at home is not helping you!”

Alex watched Lucy leave to the bathroom and wondered if she was right. It was time to start giving a direction to her life.

 

2d2c4l0.jpg

 

Lucy was sound asleep and Alex couldn’t stop but stare at the ceiling of their room. All the little sounds where making her nervous.

Lucy rolled on her bed mumbling something and fell down from it with a loud thump, all the covers going after her.

Alex sighed and sat on the bed asking if she was ok. Lucy didn’t answer and kept sleeping on the floor so Alex gave up.

She stood up and opened the door of the balcony. If she couldn’t stop thinking about it then maybe she should investigate it.

She peeked at the balcony next to hers and noticed how the bag wasn’t there anymore. Maybe she did imagine it. Maybe she was going crazy because she stayed too much time at home.

But then Alex looked down and saw Onew pushing the bag after him. SHE KNEW IT!

She watched how he pulled the bag up and threw it inside the bin.

He turned around and looked at her. This time she didn’t hide. She didn’t know why but for a strange reason and even though she was scared less she wanted him to know she saw.

She closed the window and entered her bed again.

That man had a big secret and she was going to find it and tell everyone.

 

No matter what kind of pain, you would endure it

As you look up at the falling, thick snow

All by yourself

Chapter 12: The story was so refreshing. I liked how you divided different characteristics of Onew and Jinki to the four characters. To me, it seemed like when you truly fall for someone, you find them similar to your most admired person. Correct me if I am wrong. Anyway. all the love stories were sweet and interesting. Initially I didn't like Lucy but I would say I loved Lee the most and their story became my favorite eventually. I just wished SHINEE would made an appearance.....However, really good job with this one.... Looking for more!!!!

Oh the SHINee songs at the end^^

I love this ending! Charlotte onew and eun sun T_T so wonderful

Hahaha y cat.
Aww they're gunna have a cafe baby haha
Two proposals! Yay happy couples^^
"She never said yes but no words were needed for him to know the answer." More than words! Of course =]

ITS NOT OVER!! Yess. Excited lol
They're getting married on the cafe ahh that's so cute
WAAAAAA PREGNANT ALEX?! I'm cry
And a third proposal to happen! So much nice things in one chapter lol
T_T a pregnant Charlotte. My babies are all grown up now t-t
I like the end cats perspective

Ah I'm happy. It felt a little rushed bc it's the end and there was prob more to be said but I do like endings kinda like this. Leaving a lot open to interpretation, even if you didn't plan it this way, and at the same time everyone's happy ending. I'm sad to see another fic go but I'm loving how it ends!

You should write me a story now cuz I'm not going anywhere muahahaha
