The Water

Scent of a Flower

Ji Hyo smiled when Kwang Soo came back from answering a phone call with a drink. He offered it to him as he gushes at how Jong Kook’s behaviour changed because of his love admission.

“When you love someone, you won’t care about what other people will think.” she told him while remembering everything in the past again.

When Jong Kook left her dumbfounded in Pohang, she decided that she’ll never forget that stranger’s name. She recalled how she promised herself that she’ll make sure that the next time they will see each other, she’ll make him regret his mean attitude towards her.

Months have passed, and her puppy love has vanished. One of her close friends invited her to watch her on a show where she’ll be a part of. She decided to go since she has nothing to do. She was so happy that finally she will be able to see her close friend doing the things she loves live.

“Sung Im-ah...” called her friend when she saw her sneaking around. “What are you doing there?” her friend then asked in a joyful tone.

“U-unni...” she uttered to hide her embarrassment. She didn’t know where she should stay, so she was caught like that by her close friend, Kim Ji Soo, who is actually nine years older than her.

“You should have looked for me then.” told Ji Soo who can tell that she’s embarrassed.

She smiled at Ji Soo, and tailed her when she started walking.

“I bought a front seat ticket. I bought it especially for you. It’s my gift because you got good grades on your tests.” said Ji Soo who sees her as a younger sister.

Her happiness was so indescribable. Ji Soo told her that she’s looking forward for a duo that will have debut stage performance today, and that she feels honored to introduce them to the people.

“Omo, unni. You sound pretty excited.” she then teased. “Is there someone that you like between the two?” she asked, still teasing.

“Sung Im-ah, I have a feeling that that duo will be very successful.” Ji Soo then explained.

She smiled because she knows that whatever Ji Soo feels, it does do come true.

“They are so lucky. You have your blessings.” she then commented.

“Stop that. That will be so unfair to them. They are really talented, and I think they are really good both in and out.” said Ji Soo, who also looked at her.

“Why?” she asked in a curious tone.

Ji Soo smiled at her and replied, “I feel like you’ll be more successful as I am now in the future.”

“Stop that, unni. I have no plans to join show business.” she uttered.

Her friend smiled at her again when she reminded her, “Don’t talk like you’re so sure of it.”

Before she can even react, Ji Soo’s manager reminded her friend that the show is about to start in five minutes. Hearing her manager’s reminder, Ji Soo looked at her and smiled in a worried manner. She then smiled at her friend and made an okay sign. She signaled that she understood what her worried smile meant and that she needs not to worry because she’ll be happy watching her host the show on the VIP seat that she provided for her.

It didn’t take her a long time to go to where she should sit. She’s now in the front seat, happily cheering for her friend. Ji Soo saw her smiling, so her friend returned it.

“Unni, you’re so kind. I wish I could be as a kind-hearted woman like you when I grow up.” she then told herself as she remembered how she felt upset with a man named Kim Jong Kook.

Because she was so caught up with her emotions with the man she promised to meet again, she didn’t realize that the duo that her close friend has been secretly cheering on will now be introduced. Her senses came back to reality when she heard something so familiar with her.

She looked at her friend, who was looking at the duo, which she introduced as “Turbo.” She was so in disbelief when Ji Soo informed the public that Turbo’s members are its leader, a former disc jockey (DJ), Kim Jung Nam, who will be responsible for the choreography and a guy, who used to be a former high school vocalist, will be taking care of the vocals. Hearing their descriptions made her big eyes wider.

Just as Ji Soo was about to tell the vocalist’s name, people, including the surprised Ji Soo, looked at her when she suddenly called that vocalist's name aloud, “Kim Jong Kook!”
