In the K-pop world, is there anyone who does not know EXO? Of course, no. For almost three years, EXO has many achievements in entertainment with a lot of songs. Despite of scandals, rumors, and their hard time because of three of them had left, they did not go down, their relationship getting stronger instead. And here they are, gathered Amusement park, filming their next misic video for the title track.

However, they seemed not happy. It is because the model still does not come after almost thirty minutes from the schedule both sides agreed. Moreover, it's past midnight so the weather was damn cold.

“Look, that's why I was against models outside the management. They're so unprofessional.” One of EXO member, Park Chanyeol said. He is ready wih his costum.

We all know him. He had the kind of face that stopped you in your tracks. We guess he must get used to that, the sudden pause in a person's natural expression when we looked his way followed by overcompensating with a cheerful gaze and a bright smile. Of course the blush that accompanied it was a dead give-away. It didn't help that he was so modest with it, made the girls fall for him all the more. But now he is the most irritated because of the situation.

Baekhyun jumps off the Merry go round. He shrugs.”I do have no idea why the staffs were okay with that. They’re so calm even most of them were excited as if they will meet an angel.” Little they know about the models since they were busy preparing everything, like choreography, recording, and fitting costume.

“Then, let's do this. If the girl is not pretty as we think, we leave this filming after said how unprofessional she is, but if it's opposite, ...uhm just go on with filming.” Sehun joined the conversation.

“Deal!” All members were agreeing right away.

“Every member has to give her a sentence at least, okay?!” Lay gave an opinion.

“I wanna try it,” Kim Joonmyun as known as Suho cleared his throat before continues,”you have no manner, you just had borne an arrogance.” Everyone chuckled at Suho serious expression.

“I will be the next!” Kai pointed himself while tying to stop his giggle.”your superiority complex gave you an ugly attitude that you made no attempt to conceal.”

“Ah~ it's not so harsh, Kai.” Chen protest along with nodded by all members.

“Some can say you're blessed with beauty, but I've known your unprofessional work. Personally, I'm praying for boils or an accident, maybe that way you could rejoin sociality one day.” All of them laughed badly at Chanyeol sudden speak. There is reasons why he called Happy virus; because he can bring the light in the cold moment.

“If you think that way, it's okay. I can quit.” After hearing it, they turned their head.

They looked up. There, stood a beautiful woman in front of them. She had curled her dark locks, that danced in between a black and brown, so that they hung in more waves than curls that could sit atop Shirley temples head. Her light skin was brushed with makeups and blush to bring out the sharp structure on her bones and she wore a soft pink shade on her thin lips. Along her curvy body is a black dress that reaches her lower thighs, clutching her body in a way that was elegant but feminine. The top of the dress ran straight across her chest, then at the top of her waist it tightened to the curves. She had placed on a pair of simple black heels, that shone as a mirror in the white light. Perfect.

“Eoh, Park Jiyeon-ssi. You've arrived!” A shout from one of staffs brought them back to their sense. Being aware that this woman is the model, all of them startled and got up automatically.

Their eyes and  mouth were frozen wide open in an expression of stunned surprise, especially Chanyeol. It takes a second or two for the new information to sink it, even though it is right before his eyes, larger than life. Then, he feels his lips stretch wider into gaping grin and his eyebrows arch for the sky. It is really her. His Park Jiyeon, or should he called his ex?

He was a totally fool back then until they had broken up. In his heart, he retract all the bad things he ever said, they were never a reflection on her, only on his inner demons. She worked hard and he only saw what you could not do. In his misplaced entitlement he gave her only passive aggressive rage, he withdrew to punish her and became self-absorbed. Now She was gone, maybe fled to another who gives her hugs instead of cold stares, acceptance and not demands, respect and never condemnation. Chanyeol can never hope to win her back nor deserve her, but can he being greedy and selfish this time?

“Yes. But, seems the EXO guys didn't like me. My manager said he already told the staffs about my lateness. I know, I've wasted a lot of times for their filming, and I'm sorry for it. Well, I couldn’t help but wait the delaying flight. Don't worry, I aware that I've been unprofessional, so I won't defense myself through reasons. I will just pay the penalty. Once again, I apologize.” Jiyeon explained while smiling calmly before bowing, showing them she was sincere with her words.

They gasped. Having thought Jiyeon would be mad, act arrogantly, or throw a glare at them, was all wrong. She is truly goddess, her beautiful face and her behavior proved it. Do not want to lost the chance, they move aside to block her way.

“No. We- we-just joking around, Jiyeon-ssi.” Kyungsoo muttered with blush on his cheeks. He is the one who will act with her, yet he already imagined the scene being her boyfriend. The shy guy really looking forward to it!

“Yes, Kyungsoo was right. Besides, if you're really step out, our filming or even album would be delayed as well.” Suho added. The rest of them nodded in agreement.

Jiyeon let out her sighs.”Okay, then. let's filming.” How she can do after seeing their spark of hope given by them. Also, the staff who greeted Jiyeon sigh in relief.

The filming begin with Jiyeon who always goes to Amusement park just for seeing Kyungsoo greeting his customers. He's always been a part of that place, blending in, less conspicuous than the covers of the magazines and rows of candy. But now he's all she sees in there, the rest is a meaningless back-drop. Kyungsoo looks at her way, almost able to keep the grin from his face. His father spies the exchange and makes a gruff excuse about having to check stock out the back. Then, Jiyeon pulls her hand from behind her back to reveal the fresh bun she poached.

Without a word, Kyungsoo gives her a letter. Love letter. Upon giving it for few times, they start hang out every night. They act awkward with Kyungsoo slowly reach out her hand. Jiyeon bit her bottom lip before squeezing  his hand. However, it was not last long. Apparently, Kyungsoo just gives her fake hope. He does not have an intention to date Jiyeon. He wants their relationship just go on without a title 'boyfriend' or 'girlfriend'. He is not ready yet to begin it again since his heart had broken once.

At the last, Jiyeon who has found out everything decided to leave Korea. She cannot stand at cowardness of Kyungsoo. Before that, she went to Amusement park again to say good bye, yet she saw the paper on the Merry go round.

The paper crumpled as her fingers clenched into a fist and then she throw away the paper ball. He always find a way to cover up his lies beneath sweet words. And every time she promise herself that she won't fall for those letters of his, but she does. So this time She has thrown it away without reading it. But she again thinks that maybe this time he might not have lied. So, she pick up the paper and uncrumple it. He has written two words- 'Turn around.' So she does, and find him standing a few inches away from her.

“I'm sorry,” he says and his eyes turn glossy with tears. This is something she has seen before, so she hopes that this time he is not lying. She let him wrap his arms around her and use her shoulder to cry on.

“Cut!” The story ends hanging on there. The staffs and member were clapping after seeing the great acting of Jiyeon and Kyungsoo.

Except the young man who hiding himself behind the cameras. Occasionally, he gritted his teeth or clenched his hand when Kyungsoo touch or laugh along with Jiyeon. He knows all was fake, but still it is like the knife stabbed his chest for several times. The fact that Jiyeon didn't give him personal greeting, hurts him even more. They're like stranger. Is she really hate him and does not want to has any relation with him? Well, he deserves it anyway, Chanyeol thought.

Without aware, Chanyeol recall when both of them still in the high school.

Jiyeon was the kind of girl that women loved to hate  since she had that movie star look, not overly tall and willowy, but more like an action star. She had a kind of understated beauty, perhaps it was because she was so disarmingly unaware of her prettiness. Her light skin was completely flawless. She was all about simplicity, making things easy, helping those around her to relax and be happy with what they have. Perhaps that is why her skin glowed so, it was her inner beauty that lit her eyes and softened her features. When she smiled and laughed you couldn't help but smile along too, even if it was just on the inside. To be in her company was to feel that you too were someone, that you had been warmed in summer rays regardless of the season.

And Chanyeol, he lucky enough to be her boyfriend.

Chanyeol had his legs crossed and was tapping his Ray-Bans on the coffee shop table, his hair was even neater than usual and his suit was new. Jiyeon suddenly pulled out a chair and he looked up from his phone, smiling in that tense way he did when he was about to vent. She put her latte down gently and smiled just the same way she did for everyone. He never knew the difference between smile for him and smile for others.

“You're late.” He began, his attempt to keep things light already waning.

Jiyeon smile in guilty before pursed her lips.”Sorry, baby. My classmate asked me to help them solve the math.” Jiyeon took a sip, trying not to loose all of her lipstick on the rim.

Then, despite the rising tension in his voice, he snickered.”What a looser, eh?”

“Oh, come on. Stop whining babe. No need to be jealous because I won't look for another guy. I love you, so much okay.” Jiyeon tried to persuade Chanyeol, and didn't want their date tu
