Ri Ja was walking away from the AN Entertainment building when Reporter Kim walked in front of her.

"Annyeong haseyo, Hong Ri Ja-ssi," the annoying reporter greeted her.

"Annyeong hashimnikka?" she greeted politely.

She was happy that, at least, she was not mistaken for Nana of After School.

"I just want to ask, when is your next modeling stint?" Reporter Kim asked.

"Oh? Mianhamnida. I am not allowed to disclose it yet," she said.

"Well, then, tell me about you and Kang Shin Woo," the reporter insisted.

"Well, Shin Woo-oppa and I are getting along well," she said. "He's really nice."

Not wanting to get a short response, he asked her about their favorite dating places. But Ri Ja was pressed for time, so she apologized that she really had to go.

Reporter Kim stomped his feet. That was supposed to be a nice scoop! Why did she not answer? Just then, he saw a skinny guy approached her.

"Liza Hong?" the skinny guy asked.

"Oh, hello, Dilbert Chiongbian!" the reporter heard her greeting him.

The reporter secretly snapped pictures of them, and was waiting for any cheek-to-cheek kisses. He was drooling for some scoop, but there was none.

He was so angry that he proposed not to publish the story at all.

******************

Ri Ja and Dilbert where conversing when they met Mi Nyu coming out from a bookstore.

"Annyeong, Mi Nyu-ya," Ri Ja greeted her.

Mi Nyu looked at them, and bowed. "Annyeong hashimnikka?"

Ri Ja's not with Shin Woo-hyung, she wondered. Anyhow, Ri Ja introduced them to each other.

"Dilbert is Singaporean, and he does not know any Korean," Ri Ja explained. "So I talk to him in English, as I don't know Mandarin Chinese."

"Ah..." Mi Nyu was left at a loss for words.

"Is she a model too?" Dilbert asked his friend.

"No, she's not," Ri Ja replied.

Dilbert looked at Mi Nyu, scrutinizing her features. Her healthy frame could be reduced a bit, but Mi Nyu still looked good. And her hair which was almost at shoulder-length, was fantastic.

"You could be a model," Dilbert said.

"Eh?" Mi Nyu asked cluelessly.

"We could talk to you about modeling stint," Ri Ja told her. "What do you think?"

She thought for a while. She could have said that she needed to ask Tae Kyung's permission, but remembering the event at the mall wherein he left her to buy stuff for herself, she was thinking that Tae Kyung could trust her regarding any decisions she may want.

"Uh, I am going to the AN Entertainment to bring all these," Mi Nyu said. "Maybe I could talk to you about it."

Dilbert and Ri Ja smiled.

"Well, perfect. Tae Kyung-oppa might even like the idea," Ri Ja said. "And perhaps, Shin Woo-oppa might be proud of his yeodongsaeng being a model."

Mi Nyu's heart skipped a bit when the model talked about Shin Woo. Mi Nyu thought, perhaps, this is one thing she could prove to herself that she can do something worthwhile, and Shin Woo might even be proud, just as Ri Ja said. She, Mi Nyu, could have Shin Woo as her inspiration. Oh, she had totally forgotten about Tae Kyung.

Dilbert drove to AN Entertainment, but he was not aware of the akwardness. He just thought that Mi Nyu was just plain shy and silent.

Mi Nyu was contemplating. Ri Ja was indeed lucky to have a rockstar for a boyfriend, and Shin Woo, lucky to have a model for a girlfriend. She did not want to follow that trend, but she felt it would be nice if she could give it a try. She might be lucky.

*********************

Ri Ja and Dilbert followed Mi Nyu to the president's office, where they found Coordi Noona arranging some files, and Manager Ma practicing the "Sorry, Sorry" dance steps.

"Oh, Ri Ja-ya, annyeong," the stylist and the manager greeted.

Mi Nyu placed the school stuff on the conference table as Ri Ja introduced Dilbert to them. 

"We are even thinking of letting Mi Nyu do some modeling workshops," Ri Ja said.

The stylist and the manager looked at each other, then at them, then gave thumbs up.

************************

Lunch time.

Tae Kyung, Mi Nyu, Shin Woo, Ri Ja, and Dilbert were in a coffee house, talking about the suggestion.

"I think that is all right," Tae Kyung said. "I don't want to be known as the 'possessive and restrictive' boyfriend, you know."

Dilbert laughed. "Oh, I love that attitude."

"What do you think, Shin Woo-oppa?" Ri Ja said as she linked arms with her boyfriend.

"I think that's good," Shin Woo said casually.

Dilbert said. "You know, I am jealous of you all."

"Why?" Tae Kyung asked.

The model pointed at the four of them.

"All of you could actually go on a double date, while I am here without any date," he said.

"Ah, don't be sorry," Ri Ja said to him. "You can have all the women that you want."

Tae Kyung only pursed his lips. Is this model guy some kind of a ert?

"Well, you can have our Coordi Noona," Tae Kyung said. "She's totally single and available."

"You know, I kinda like her," Dilbert admitted.

Tae Kyung pursed his lips before replying.

"Well, go for her," he suggested.

"Ah, I think I'll not do that yet," the model said. "I'm not comfortable with long distance relationship."

Tae Kyung squinted his eyes and pursed his lips again. 

"How fickle-minded!"

*********************

Indeed, Mi Nyu did try modeling, and Ri Ja and Dilbert were happy with the results.

In three month's time, she became famous, not only as Tae Kyung's girlfriend, not only as Go Mi Nam's twin, but as Go Mi Nyu the model. She was starting to make a name for herself. Even Aunt Mi Ja was totally proud of her niece. The pig rabbit was starting to act like a princess in front of the camera instead of the shy girl that she usually is. Aunt Mi Ja had Mi Nam buy all magazines with Mi Nyu in it so that she can boast it to all her ajumma friends.

Of course, Sa Yu Ri and her girls supported Mi Nyu, knowing that she is their Tae Kyung-oppa's yeoja.

*****************

Mi Nyu invited Ri Ja and Dilbert to a restaurant (that she could afford).

"What for?" Ri Ja asked as they sat at table.

"For giving me a chance to prove myself, for giving me a challenge," Mi Nyu said.

Dilbert shook his head. "That's totally all right. I could see a lady hiding behind the shy girl in you, that's why I had you try."

Then, Dilbert looked at his calendar.

"Mi Nyu, I guess I have to stay here in Korea for another month before flying back to Singapore. I trust that Liza will take care of you," he said.

"Ri Ja is actually nice," Mi Nyu said.

"Of course, because we are friends," RI Ja said. "Mi Nyu, I will definitely take care of you so that you will make it big."

Mi Nyu smiled. But deep inside, she felt that she was the bad girl. She felt it so wrong to love Shin Woo when he has a very nice girl for a girlfriend. She also felt  betraying Tae Kyung by falling in love with Shin Woo. She really didn't know what to do anymore.

**********************

That night, she grabbed Aunt Mi Ja'a magazine in the living room and reported to Jolie.

"Jolie, look at me," she told the dog. "I am so pretty."

"Why are you talking to a dog?" a male voice asked.

She was startled and sat on the wooden floor. Then, she looked at the person talking to her.

"Shin Woo-hyung...." she said softly.

Shin Woo casually sat on the bench and crossed his legs like the way he sometimes does.

"Ri Ja said that you are really doing well," he said.

"Uh...ye, look at all my pictures, hyung," she said as she showed him her pictures in the magazine.

Shin Woo took the magazine and looked at the pictures. He looked at her pictures for a long time before going to another page. Mi Nyu blushed when he stared at her pictures.

"Your pictures are actually good," Shin Woo said casually. 

Mi Nyu's heart fell. She was hoping that he would praise her well, encourage her, or even give her even a kiss on the forehead. But he did not. She was trying her best to do her job and had him as inspiration, but it seems he did not care about it. Of course, he did not know of her feelings for him.

"My yeodongsaeng had grown up to be a lady, and I did not even know it," he said.

Y...yeodongsaeng?

"Who knows, my other namdongsaengs will also grow up without me knowing," he continued.

"Are...are you sad, Shin Woo-hyung?" she asked.

He looked at her and smiled, though the smile he gave her was the usual because-I-am-the-hyung-you-wanted-me-to-be smile, and it made her sad.

"Ani. I was just  saying that all the people here are really improving, and I didn't know it because Hyun Joong-hyung was detaining me," he replied.

She stood up, then sat beside him. 

"It's good to be sitting here again, right next to you, Shin Woo-hyung," Mi Nyu said to him before looking up the night sky.

Shin Woo looked at her, then at the sky. They spent silent hours just being together.

**********************

At the door stood someone.

"He Yi was just telling me that she wanted to see if Mi Nyu and I are getting along well; then of course we are," Tae Kyung thought. "But why was she trying too hard to be nice to Shin Woo?"

He suddenly felt jealous at his former love rival. Doesn't he have a girlfriend or something?

"Ah...anya... I will not get jealous of Shin Woo easily," Tae Kyung thought, pursing his lips. "I am a rational and very logical person. Maybe this is just a one-time, or maybe He Yi was just trying to brew something. But I cannot let my defenses down. I had to spy for myself if my own girlfriend would not even tell me something."

Then, he left.
