As a celeb, you may have many types of people around you. If you are a popular one, you are mostly surrounded by your fans. But just don't forget that people around you are not all your fans. There are also some anti-fans. You know, the type of people who bash on some celebs just because they think those celebs doesn't deserve to be popular.
But have you ever heard about.. psycho fans?
~~~~~
16 year old, Kisha was in her room staring at the SHINee posters that she hang up on her ceiling. In every poster, she drew a red circle at Jong Hyun's face. All photoshoots, including ELLE, Vogue, Numero, New Zealand, CLride.n, and others. She surfed the internet, saved the photos and printed it on her own. She was extremely spoiled by her parents, and she was the only child. Her parents often weren't at home, because of their job and duty. Kisha can be called the most richest and happiest girl in the world, if only she didn't suffer from two things.
First, their parents often leave her alone, even though they gave her pocket money bigger than normal parents should allow.
Second, she is kinda.. well, you'll know what's wrong with her in the end of the story.
Kisha rised up from her bed and walked to her computer at the corner of her luxurious room. She turned it on and started browsing the internet. The first site that she usually opens, is SHINee Forums International. Things she does there, aren't posting fan fictions, replying new threads, chatting on the Sbox, no.
She opens every account or user that has Jong Hyun as their favorite member, she writes down the most annoying fangirl's location, and if she can't find it, she will send the 'victim' a private message, usually, Kisha types it like this :
"Hey there, Jong Hyun fan ^^ i'm a bling bling lover too, and i was wondering if i can have your facebook account, or maybe your phone number? I'd like to share much about Jong Hyun to you.. thank you so much if you reply this !"
Sounds nice and kind? Well, you're definitely wrong. You'll never know what will Kisha do to the victims.
Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately for Kisha), the fangirls replied Kisha's message, some gave her their phone number, facebook account, and even their ADDRESS.
Giving your address and other personal infos to Kisha is a BIG mistake.
There was once a fangirl from Indonesia, named Mia. Mia 'accidentally' gave Kisha her address at Surabaya. And believe it or not, Kisha went all the way to Carol's house, just to do one thing : getting rid of Mia's stuff which contains Jong Hyun in it.
Kisha, is like a queen in her home. She could go wherever she wants, without anyone objecting her. She actually has one friend, Stacey. Stacey is like her younger sister, Stacey always company Kisha when she's at home, but Kisha somehow still feels lonely.
"Stacey.."
"Yes, unnie?" asked Stacey,
"I'm going to Indonesia tomorrow."
"What?" Stacey sat beside Kisha on her bed. But Kisha stood up and opened her desk. She grabbed a photo of a girl and threw it to Stacey, Stacey instantly caught it and looked at the photo, Kisha wrote the name 'Mia' on it with a red marker.
Stacey sighed, "When are you gonna stop doing this, unnie? You can't live forever caught up in your possessive personality. Unnie wake up. Jong Hyun is a celeb. You must face the truth that he has so many fans."
Kisha threw her body on her bed, she laid beside Stacey,
"Shut up, dongsaeng. You've said that like a million times, and it always pisses me off. No matter how many more times you're gonna say that to me, it won't change me."
Stacey made a sad face, and handed over the photo to Kisha.
"Unnie, i like SHINee's Minho. But, i know that i can't own him. SHINee is not like a limited edition toy that you can buy with lots of your money, they are CELEBS. Celebs have fans. And i'm trying to be a nice fan, controlling my emotions and possessive things like you, and look at me now! I managed to do it. Unnie.."
"SHUT UP~ !" shouted Kisha, "Haven't i told you that saying things like that would not change me? I am what I am, if you don't like it, you can stop being my friend and you can leave now. Look, the door is wide open."
Stacey looked at Kisha's eyes, she could see tears were holding up not to fall. Stacey moved closer to Kisha, and hugged her.
"Unnie, mianhae~"
Kisha stayed still. And slowly, teardrops were running down her face.
~~~~~
Kisha dressed up all in black in her room, while Stacey was laying on Kisha's bed.
Kisha put on her skinny jeans, tanktop, and covered it with a casual blazer, then she took out her high heels and sunglasses.
Stacey sat up, "Unnie, you look like as if you're going on a date. If only you could change the black into pink.."
Kisha looked at Stacey with her killer eyes, Stacey bent down her head, but then Kisha just laughed.
"hahaha, nice one Stacey. Now could you please help me get my 'precious' inside my desk?"
Stacey smiled and moved over to Kisha's desk. She opened it, took out a note of Mia's address, and a black leather box.
"Using that 'toy' again?" teased Stacey,
Kisha smiled, she opened the box and took out the small sized silver gun, and slipped it in her mini belt on her left foot.
"Hey unnie~" called Stacey,
Kisha looked at Stacey, "mwo?"
Stacey threw a black mask to Kisha, just imagine the black mask that the assassin girl in ragnarok wear.
"You should not forget to wear that mask, otherwise, you'll be dead." said Stacey.
Kisha laughed and walked up to her dongsaeng,
"This is not about life and death, Stacey. It's about getting back what is MINE."
Stacey stared at her unnie as Kisha walked to the door, carrying her black backpack.
"Wish me luck.." said Kisha as she waved and finally walked out.
Stacey stared at the empty door that Kisha has just left. then she whispered,
"unnie, if only Jong Hyun knows what you are doing, you will stop, right? You will stop terrifying people here and there, won't you? unnie.. please, 'wake up'."
~~~~~
"The car is ready, Miss Kisha."
Kisha ignored her butler and straightly went inside her black Camry, but then she opened the window,
"Mr. Lee.."
"Yes, Miss.. may i help you?" asked the butler,
"Stacey is still in my room, would you serve her food? and if she wants to sleepover, just let her sleep in my room. Tell her i'll call her once i'm done with my job."
Mr. Lee bowed to his master, as Kisha closed the window and the car finally drove away through the main gate of Kisha's mansion.
30 minutes later, Kisha was already at the airport. Her driver was asked to company her to Indonesia, for Kisha surely needs someone to drive her way. Her driver, however, was 14 years older than Kisha. But Kisha treats him as her ordinary friend, she thinks that her driver's looks are like her oppa's. That's why she never called him 'Mr.'
"Kang Doo," called Kisha,
"Yes Ma'am.."
"our flight isn't delayed, right?" Kisha looked at the information TV,
Kang Doo looked at the TV as well,
"I'm sorry, Ma'am. I'm afraid, our flight is delayed. It seems that the plane that we are taking, will arrive late because of the bad weather."
Kisha sighed, "Too bad. then let's use Dad's personal jet. They have one here, right?"
"Two, Ma'am. You are free to choose the white jet or the one with black stripes on it."
Kisha smiled at her driver, "Black stripes please, it will suit me perfectly."
The driver smiled back and bowed, he then walked away to contact the airport managers. Kisha sat down and waited while playing with Mia's photo.
"I'm coming, Mia..", she smiled slyly.
~~~~~
Kisha walked away from the plane after giving her best smile to the stewardess at the exit door. Kang Doo followed her behind. Kisha stopped walking and and turned around to see her driver. Kang Doo stopped too and bowed, "Is there anything, Ma'am?"
"Would you do me a favor?" asked Kisha,
"Of course, Ma'am."
Kisha smiled, "Stop calling me 'Ma'am'."
Kang Doo had his smile endured, "I'm sorry?"
Kisha continued to walk while her driver continued to follow,
"Jebal, you are 14 years older than me and hearing you calling me 'Ma'am' makes me feel old you know. We're in Indonesia, Kang Doo. Blend in. Try acting as my friend instead of my personal driver."
Kang Doo listened but didn't know what to say. Suddenly Kisha stopped again and turned around,
"Why aren't you saying a word? Can you do that favor?" Kisha started acting bossy.
"Yes, Ma'am.. Uh.. i mean.."
Kisha laughed softly, "Kisha. Just call me Kisha."
"Yes, Kisha." said Kang Doo, but he still bowed.
"Oh and stop bowing like that. Come on just walk beside me."
Kang Doo bent his head down and tried to hide his smile.
"Indonesia, right?" asked Kisha.
"Yep.. you're right" Kang Doo started to talk informally.
"I didn't know there were bunches of Shawols here. And where is that Mia's hometown.." Kisha started to look for her note,
"Surabaya?" asked Kang Doo.
Kisha snapped her hands, "Yea! That city. I thought Jakarta was the only metropolitan city that knows about Kpop. And do you know what? I found other Shawols from around Indonesia. Medan, Solo, Kalimantan, Jogjakarta.."
"You're not going to explore all those cities to find Jong Hyun's fangirls, are you?"
Kisha made an evil smile,
"If i have to, I will."
~~~~~
Kisha hopped off her car and left her bag inside.
"Kisha !"
The window opened and Kang Doo was calling her,
"Yes?" asked Kisha.
Kang Doo threw the ragnarok-assassin-like-mask to her.
"You almost forget it." he said.
Kisha smiled and put it on, then she walked to the gate of Mia's house. As she walked closer, she accelerated her speed and quickly jumped over the fence silently.
Kang Doo watched from the side-mirror, "Such a tough girl.."
Mia's house wasn't a two story house. So it was easy for Kisha to find Mia's room, she knocked softly on the window, and Mia came out opening it.
But when Mia looked out, there was nobody. Kisha was standing beside the pillar near the window. Just as Kisha thought, Mia left the window open and she went to the bathroom. Kisha sneaked in Mia's room.
Kisha's eyes traveled around the girlish room. Pink everywhere. Small but tidy. There was a PC at the corner of the room, it was on but screensaver-ed. Kisha touched the mouse and the screen popped out. The wallpaper was photos of Jong Hyun, singing, photoshoot, and candid. Kisha left the PC and wandered around the room again. She found plenty of SHINee posters hanging on the wall. A couple of Jong Hyun's photos on the desk, and a piece of paper written Jong Hyun's name on it. Then Kisha sat on the bed to wait for Mia to come.
Mia opened the door, she didn't notice that Kisha was there. Until she lifted her head up and almost shrieked out if Kisha didn't ran to Mia and shut her mouth.
"If you dare say a word, don't ever dream about seeing your beloved posters hanging on your wall again."
Mia obeyed Kisha, and her eyes started to get wet. Kisha slowly let go of Mia.
"Who..who are you?" asked Mia.
"It's no big deal, right? Afterall.. I'm here just to do one thing." said Kisha.
Mia was shivering, "What do you want?"
Kisha slowly bent down and get her silver gun out from the belt around her foot.
Mia wanted to scream but Kisha shut her mouth again with her gun pointing to Mia's head.
"Didn't i tell you to shut up?" said Kisha, sarcasticly.
Mia tried to calm down. Kisha then walked to the wall where SHINee's posters were hanging on it, she ripped Jong Hyun's part from each of the photos.
"What are you doing?!" asked Mia in a shrieking but low voice.
"I don't like seeing Jong Hyun in every girl's room." answered Kisha, short.
Kisha threw the pieces of the posters on Mia's bed.
"Now, Mia. Can you do me one favor?"
Mia was still scared, "anything.. but.. just don't hurt me.."
Kisha smiled, but of course Mia can't see it because Kisha's nose and mouth was covered by the mask, but Mia can she Kisha's smiling eyes.
"Delete all your files that contains Jong Hyun in it. Music, videos, pictures, stories, EVERYTHING.."
Kisha said that while pointing her gun to Mia's head, so Mia patheticly obeyed Kisha and walked to her computer, Kisha followed, still pointing the gun.
"remember, everything about Jong Hyun. I don't want any single file of Jong Hyun in your PC, even in your room."
Mia slowly deleted the files in her PC. It took a few minutes after the files were deleted. then Mia carefully asked,
"Why are you doing this to me?"
Kisha smiled and said,
"Because if he can't be mine, then he can't be yours either."
Mia kept silent, tears kept falling down her face.
"Is that all?" asked Kisha.
Mia didn't answer.
"I'm asking you!" said Kisha, sticking the gun to Mia's head.
Mia finally cried, "No, no please.. There are still some files in my laptop."
Kisha smirked. "Well get it, girl!"
Mia stood up and walked to the door, "hey wait!" called Kisha.
"If you dare to tell your family, or even call the cops, you won't be able to feel tomorrow. See this?" Kisha pulled out a small button from her blazer and sticked it to the desk, "This is a mini bom. Small, but powerful. You take one call to the police, my alarm will ring and i could press the button anytime i want and your house will go boom~~. And then, you're dead."
Kisha smiled evil-ly. Mia ran outside to find her laptop, when her mother asked she said nothing was happening. Mia went back to her room carrying her laptop.
"Argh~ you are such a slow poke. Here give me that laptop."
Kisha snatched the laptop away from Mia's hands.
"I will send you a new laptop. The most expensive and latest model. But of course i put a chip in it so it will not allow you to save or download Jong Hyun's stuff from the net."
Mia stood still, Kisha started to walk away. When Kisha reached the window, she saw and iPod under the pillow in the bed.
"You didn't tell me about this.." said Kisha, grabbing the iPod. Mia was scared that Kisha was going to shoot her or something.
"I'll take this, thankyou. I'm sure there are plenty of Jong Hyun in this. And don't worry, I'll also get you a new iPod."
Kisha jumped off the window, leaving Mia behind, still in a terrified feeling. Mia checked her SFI account, and it said that her account was blocked. Then she refreshed the page, and the page didn't load. Seems like Kisha had just set the PC not to allow sites that has SHINee in it to load.
Mia was so desperate and sad, not knowing what to do, she just cried on her desk while looking at the torn posters of SHINee.
Kisha jumped over the gate and went back in to her car.
"That was quick." said Kang Doo.
"The girl was so pathetic, she obeyed each of my words and she didn't even tell her mommy."
Kisha laughed happily while her driver just smiled.
"And where are we going now?" he asked.
"Any city that has Shawol in it." said Kisha.
Kang Doo obeyed Kisha and turned the car back to the airport again.
"When will she stop doing this?", he said in his mind.
~~~~~
1 month later, Kisha went back to her mansion and found Stacey surfing the net inside Kisha's room. Stacey noticed Kisha's appearance, she then greeted Kisha,
"Unnie~!" she hugged Kisha, "How come it took you so long to come back?"
Kisha smiled, "Indonesia is big, Stacey. I had to travel around many cities to..get 'Jong Hyun'."
"You traveled around Indonesia?" asked Stacey.
Kisha nod and laid down on her bed,
"I still have my final destination." she said.
Stacey looked at her, "What do you mean?"
Kisha stared at the posters on her ceiling,
"I've been to USA, Phillipines, Taiwan, Australia, Canada, Japan, Thailand, and many more. Yesterday, Indonesia. At every country, i take down at least 5 fangirls, and to ease my job, i told them to inform other fangirls to do the same thing that i told them,"
Stacey snatched Kisha's sentence, "which is ripping of SHINee's posters, deleting SHINee's files from their PC, formatting their iPod?"
Kisha smiled sweetly, "Exactly.."
Stacey continued to ask,
"So, where is your final destination?"
Kisha laughed, "How come it sounds like we're talking about my death? It sounds like a movie title, hahaha. Final location : South Korea. Seoul, of course."
Stacey was surprised,
"Seoul? can i come?"
Kisha walked up to her dongsaeng and pushed her head,
"What will you do there? Helping me load the guns? or finding Minho, hmm?"
Stacey smiled, "Both."
"Hahaha, we have lots of fangirls in Seoul to.. 'take care of'. It's gonna be tough." said Kisha.
"No big deal.." smiled Stacey.
~~~~~
"Yes, Mom. No i'm fine. I'm going to Seoul with Stacey, want me to bring you something?... No?.. Ok.. ok.. Yes, maaa i got it. Bye~"
Kisha was busy on the phone while Stacey was already near the car, waiting.
"Kisha.." called Kang Doo,
"Yea?"
"I have already loaded the luggage, we may go now."
Kisha smiled and walked to the car, she also told the butler that she won't be back perhaps for a long time, being in Seoul is like..doing her final job.
The butler bowed to his master, and then closed the gate as the car left.
"Kang Doo."
"Yes, Ma'am? I mean.. Kisha?" answered Kang Doo while still concentrating on the road.
"You're finally visiting your hometown. Be free to act as our friend again, ok? Well, after all.. for all these times, i always consider you as my friend."
Kang Doo smiled as he looked at the mirror where Kisha and Stacey were sitting at the backseat.
They departed using Kisha's personal jet again, and they arrived about 3 hours. Kang Doo saved an apartment for Kisha and Stacey to stay, while he himself ordered a single room as well.
~~~~~
Kisha was playing with her pocket knife when suddenly Stacey came out from the bathroom. Kisha was 'carving' down the letter "JH" on her left wrist, and of course, it bleed.
"Kisha unnie! What the hell are you doing?"
Kisha kept cool and chillax, while Stacey came towards her running. Stacey pulled the pocket knife and put it on the table, then she held Kisha's arm, there was blood forming the "JH" sign.
"Omo unnie..", Stacey grabbed a towel and wiped off Kisha's blood, "Does it hurt?" she asked.
Kisha shook her head, she didn't feel any pain.
"You're crazy.." said Stacey.
Kisha startled and shook of her hand from Stacey's grip.
"Don't say that word in front of me. I'm not CRAZY!"
Stacey covered her mouth, "Unnie, mianhae.. i didn't mean to."
"Forget it.." Kisha grabbed the towel that was stained by her blood, then walked to the bathroom.
Stacey just shook her head,
"Damn, isn't it already enough carving Jong Hyun's name in hangul on her right wrist? Now carving JH on her left..aigoo~"
Stacey walked to her bed while drying her hair with her towel.
~~~~~
Kisha and Stacey's days in Seoul, was actually sort of like a vacation. They both went here and there, with Kang Doo as their driver, and even shopped. Kisha forget her main job being at Seoul, until she saw a poster of SHINee in the middle of the road.
"Stacey look.." Kisha pulled Stacey's hand.
"What?" Stacey looked up to the poster,
"SHINee's fansign tomorrow. We should come. Bring their Romeo mini album."
Stacey stared at Kisha in doubt, "You sure, unnie?"
"Yeah, why?"
"You'll get really pissed off seeing all Jong Hyun's fangirls."
Kisha kept silent for a while, then she smiled,
"As long as i can meet Jong Hyun, i can control myself."
~~~~~
the next day, they really went to the fansign event. Stacey gave a make up to Kisha, and she lend Kisha a baby pink cardigan, to cover Kisha's carved wrists.
at the fansign event, Kisha nearly got pissed, but Stacey was there to calm her down. Kisha decided not to queue to get SHINee's autograph. Instead, she waited for SHINee at the backstage. Stacey was already getting in the queue, to get the autographs.
Kisha waited for quite a long time at the backstage hallway. When she was about to leave, suddenly many people - maybe crews - started to walk through the hallway and they didn't pay attention on where they are walking. Kisha was pushed her and there, and somebody even hit Kisha's left wrist, which made it bleed again.
Kisha fell down but nobody noticed, she was holding her wrist and watching it bleed, while also holding in her pain. Then SHINee came out of nowhere, Jong Hyun ran to Kisha and helped her stand up.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
Kisha was shocked to see who was in front of her, then Jong Hyun looked at Kisha's wrist, it was bleeding, and he can see his name on it, JH.
"Oh my God, you're.. bleeding.." said Jong Hyun, he tried to hold Kisha's wrist.
Kisha finally woke up from her speculations, she spontaneously pulled her hand and ran away from Jong Hyun.
"What's with that girl?" asked Key.
"Hyung, is she a fan?" asked Taemin too.
"She's yeppeo." said Onew. The other 4 members just gave Onew a stop-saying-something-stupid look.
Jong Hyun still stared as Kisha walked further, Key then clapped in front of Jong Hyun's face.
"Hey ! you okay?" asked Key.
Jong Hyun opened his mouth, but his eyes were still straight to Kisha.
"That.. that girl.. her wrist was bleeding and it had my name on it. I think.. she carved my name on her wrist.. purposely."
"WHAT?" shouted Key, Taemin, and Onew. Minho just made a surprised I'm-so-cool face.
Key shook his head, "What a freaky fangirl.."
~~~~~
Stacey instantly dragged Kisha back to the apartment when she saw Kisha's wrist were bleeding. Stacey was looking for bandage while Kang Doo helped applying alcohol.
"Ouch~ ! that's hurts you know.. you.. argh~!"
Kang Doo blew the wound on Kisha's wrist, Kisha felt her wrist becoming cold.
"Kisha unnie, what were you doing back there?"
Kisha grinned in pain as Kang Doo kept applying alcohol,
"I don't know, there were crowds of people and they just pushed me aside, someone hit my wrist then it bleed, then i met Jong Hyun."
Kang Doo stopped cleaning Kisha's wrist, "you met him?"
"and he saw my wrist.." said Kisha.
Stacey took a deep breath. So did Kang Doo.
"What are you going to do know?" asked Stacey.
Kisha didn't answered.
~~~~~
2 days later, Kisha did her final mission at Seoul. She had already persuade some Jong Hyun fangirls successfully. Well, at least that what she thinks.
There was one fangirl that actually called the police. The police also received the same report from other fangirls around the world. And as you know, police have technology. They can easily track bad guys and such others. So, Kisha was in a dangerous position. But she wasn't that dumb. She knew she was 'wanted' by the police.
"Kisha unnie, we should leave.." said Stacey.
Kang Doo answered before Kisha even could talk,
"It's too late, they won't let us go through the airport. Otoghe?"
Kisha stared at her mini silver gun.
"Take me to SHINee's dorm, Kang Doo."
"What?" asked Kang Doo.
"You heard me. Come on." Kisha grabbed her gun and slipped it in her foot belt under her jeans.
"I'm coming with you guys.." said Stacey.
Kisha looked at her dongsaeng,
"But please, whatever happens, you two stay in the car."
Stacey and Kang Doo agreed and they both walked to the car, Kisha opened her suitcase and grabbed a pair of handcuffs that she got from her uncle.
~~~~~
"We're here." said Kang Doo.
Kisha opened the door, Stacey said to her, "Unnie.. be careful."
Kisha turned back and hugged Stacey, Kisha also hugged Kang Doo from the backseat. Then she hopped off and went to SHINee's dorm.
Kisha pushed the bell. Onew asked from inside, "Who is it?"
Kisha showed her wrist to the camera, then the door opened, it was Jong Hyun.
"Omo.. please, come in.."
SHINee greeted Kisha warmly, Kisha just gave a sour smile and sat at the sofa, while Jong Hyun sat beside her.
"Is your wrist okay?" he asked.
Kisha nod.
"I'm sorry. Jong Hyun imnida, and you are..?" Jong Hyun stretched his hands to shake hands with Kisha, Kisha accepted it.
"Kisha."
"So, Kisha.. are you a fan?" asked Jong Hyun again.
"Yes."
Jong Hyun looked at Key who was just staring at them two all the time, Jong Hyun whispered to Key what should he do, Key turned around and went to the kitchen.
"Shit.." said Jong Hyun in his mind.
Kisha finally talked,
"Jong Hyun, I'm sorry."
Jong Hyun raised his eyebrow, "Sorry? for what?"
"This.." said Kisha,
she quickly reached for her handcuffs in her pocket, she put Jong Hyun's right hand on the handcuff, and her own left hand in the other, then she pulled out her silver gun from her foot belt, and pointed it to Jong Hyun.
"Oh my God.." Jong Hyun was speechless, he stood up as Kisha forced him to, and he raised his left hand.
Kisha started to shed tears.
"I'm sorry.." she said, her voice was husky.
Jong Hyun tried to calm her down,
"Kisha, jebal. Talk slowly, you can explain.. why are you dong this? Please calm down.."
the other SHINee members came to the living room to see what was happening, Onew shrieked and Kisha patched the gun to Jong Hyun's head.
"NOBODY MOVES! if you make a move or even a sound, this bullet will come through his head!"
Key stared at Jong Hyun, Taemin was extremely scared. Onew covered his mouth, while Minho looked at Kisha seriously.
"Kisha.."
Jong Hyun called Kisha and tried to calm her down,
"Kisha please.. You can explain instead of doing this.. I'm sure i can help you.. what's wrong? Please don't be so stubborn."
Kisha looked into Jong Hyun's eyes, her eyes were still shedding tears, her cheeks were wet by the tears.
Jong Hyun even almost cried, he asked "Why are you doing this, Kisha.."
Kisha shed a few more tears, then she wiped it with her right hand, still holding the gun,
"Because if you can't be mine, no one can have you too.."
Jong Hyun shed a tear without himself knowing.
Suddenly police burst into SHINee's dorm, Two of them already had Kang Doo and Stacey being handcuffed. Kisha was shocked.
"Lady! Put your gun down!" said one of the cops.
Instead of letting her gun down, she raised her hands and pointed the gun to Jong Hyun again.
"Hey! I'm warning you!" shouted the cop, pointing his gun as well to Kisha.
Kisha forced a sweet smile, while tears came down running again on her face.
"Fine.." she looked at everyone, SHINee, Kang Doo, Stacey, the cops, and last.. Jong Hyun,
"If i can't have you, then let me just.." Kisha hung up her speech, she raised her gun to Jong Hyun.
"Unnie, NO! Unnie, jebal~ !" Stacey shouted and she was crying as well.
Kisha stared at her dongsaeng, then she looked at Kang Doo.
Finally her eyes end up staring at Jong Hyun.
"Kisha.." said Jong Hyun.
"I'm sorry.. I love you."
Kisha raised her gun, she pointed it to her heart, and then..
BANG~!
Kisha fell down to the floor, as well as Jong Hyun. His hands were still connected to Kisha's handcuff.
"Kisha!" shouted Jong Hyun,
"Unnie~!" Stacey shrieked and struggled herself off the police and ran inside to see Kisha.
It's just too late. Kisha shot herself right to her own heart. She wasn't breathing anymore.
"Kisha.." said Jong Hyun in a husky voice while holding Kisha in his arms. His tears fell down on Kisha's face.
~~~~~
*Kang Doo's POV*
Everyone attended her funeral. Her mom and dad were extremely sorry and sad for her. Stacey too. She still couldn't admit that her unnie is gone forever.
If everyone is feeling blue.
So am I.
When everyone went back home, SHINee were going back too but Jong Hyun decided to stay. It was just me and him in front of Kisha's grave.
"She loved you so much.." I said to him.
"what?"
"I actually grew up with her, since we were elementary students. My father was a nobody. Kisha's mom and dad didn't allow her to play with me, because of my status. But Kisha insisted. So her mom and dad still let me play with her."
Jong Hyun stared at Kisha's gravestone, while listening to Kang Doo.
"I was glad that i can play with her. Being close to her. But as she got bigger, so did me, her parents asked me to be her personal driver, and bodyguard too. I accpeted it happily, as it was my dreams to protect and take care of her. She was so nice to me. I don't know how to pay her kindness back..
So, i just obeyed every single order she gave to me. At first, the orders were regular, like going shopping, traveling, and other things that a girl would do. Until she met you."
Jong Hyun looked at Kang Doo.
"She knew your boyband from the internet. She said that the frist time she saw you, she knew you were her true love. Then she started being obsessed to you. She started acting weird. Her orders are getting awkward and impossible. Stacey even felt the same, that Kisha had changed."
"You mean.. she.." Jong Hyun wanted to ask something.
"She turned into a psycho fan. a fan of you, Jong Hyun! every morning she checks the internet, she finds other fangirls that seemed annoying to her. she finds them, and tell them to stop liking you. she threatened them with her gun and her selfmade mini destructible bom. she was furious if she finds someone who loves you more than she does."
Jong Hyun started to shed tears,
"You remember the wound on her hand? Your name was carved on both her left and right wrists. On her left, she wrote JH. and on her right, she wrote your name in hangul. i couldn't bear seeing her carving her own hand and seeing blood coming out of it. It's horrible. I.. i don't want her to get hurt.
that's why i always do what she says, in order to make her happy.. i never told her about my feelings, even when she.. when she shot herself.."
Jong Hyun looked at Kang Doo, "I'm sorry.. I'm so sorry Kang Doo."
Kang Doo walked to Kisha's gravestone and kissed Kisha's name.
"I've always cared for you, Kisha.."
Jong Hyun watched Kang Doo, then Jong Hyun wiped his tears. He walked towards the gravestone, and touched it..
"Thank you for being a fan of me, Kisha.. I'm so sorry.."
Jong Hyun still couldn't hold his tears. Kang Doo put his hand on Jong Hyun's shoulder and dragged him to leave.
Kisha will have her own Jong Hyun there. Angel, please send her happiness.

In Love With A..
I was walking down the streets in the center of Seoul. People were everywhere, i walked alone and covered my face with my hoodie - so that no fans will recognize me. I enjoyed the afternoon breeze when suddenly this.. liquid on my feet stopped my steps.
"Panda, darling.. No ! Bad boy~"
I looked down and found a little white-with-black-marks beagle peeing on my foot. Then i saw his owner running towards me. She was a fine looking young lady, perhaps 3 years younger than me. She wore a black high waist skinny jeans, a pink spongebob shirt, and she had a small backpack hanging on her back, pink too. And her shoes were high stilletos, it made her look as tall as me. Her skin wasn't as white as mine, her nose wasn't as pointy as my noonas in SNSD, her lips were not red like my favorite type, hers were just glossy and natural pink. She wore black thick framed glasses, and her hair was pure black with straight bangs and she had it done with a messy bun, makes her look more gorgeous. Overall, one word : BEAUTIFUL.
"Panda, bad boy! You shouldn't have.."
She stopped scolding her cute little beagle and looked at me, I didn't say a word but she instantly apologized to me.
"Ah~ mianhae, my beagle is just sometimes wild. He is.."
She stopped and looked deep into my eyes, my face were still half covered under my hoodie. She looked at me for like..5 seconds and then she said,
"Hey i know, you..You're..the singer, the bling bling one?"
When she said bling bling i could see girls around who were walking, stopped and took a look at me, then i said,
"Sssht~ you think we could talk in another place?"
~~~~~
"Kim Jong Hyun, right? SHINee's lead vocal?"
I led her to a cafe that i recently visit, i know the place well and people who visit the cafe usually are celebs too, so i wouldn't mind spending time there.
"Yes, and you are..?", I stretched my hand towards her, willing for her to shake my hand. She accpeted my hand and shook it firmly.
"Uhm..just call me LG. No wonder you look so familiar. Oh and i want to apologize again because of Panda, are your shoes okay?"
It's fascinating how she doesn't freak out while other girls are supposed to go wild if they meet me. Maybe she's not a fan? No, impossible. She knows me, how could she be not a fan.
"It's okay, my shoes are fine. LG? Your stage name or..what does it stands for?"
I asked her about her unique name. LG. Wonder what it stands for..
"Well, my amigos usually call me LG, haha~"
She fix a piece of her hair which was falling off from it's place. I just kept still in amaze and adored her ignorance of my..popularity? I don't know. She should feel lucky and proud for having a coffee break here with me, THE Kim Jong Hyun. But why is she.. ah~ Why am i frustrating myself anyway?
"LG kinda sounds like a.." i doubt to continue my speech, i was afraid that it'll hurt her feelings.
"Brand? I know, hahaha. People say that oftenly. Yeah LG sounds..haha awkward but what can i do? It's my name."
She smiled sweetly and took a sip of her hot cappucino. Thank God she continued what i was going to say. Oh and her little Panda? Tied up to the seat right next to her. Sitting calmly and watching us talk.
"So..." i continued talking to her, "any explanations about your..pink stuff?"
I don't know why i asked that stupid questions. Oh jebal, there would be millions of high quality questions to ask a new girl that you met. Not about her stuff. Babo. I think i was just curious.
LG smirked and held her backpack, she took out a small purse and from it, she took out her handphone and it was pink as well. A pink Sony Ericsson W580i.
"Pink is my trademark. All my stuffs are pink even my handphone. But one thing..i wouldn't wear pink all over my body coz that will just look stupid. That's why my jeans are black. Full pink is just too much."
Wow. I half focused on her speech. I was just looking at her appearance, i don't know. She looks, to cute to be true. I mean, look at her face. She wore make up but I'm sure it is so thin, not thick as hell like my noonas. And it seems like she is not from Korea. Ok, i should ask her.
"Uh, LG~ You're not from Korea, are you?"
LG smiled and pushed her glasses back to it place, as it was almost sliding off her nose.
"How did you know?"
"Well, you don't look like a Korean..", Was I too honest?
"Ah yes. I live here with my 3 unnies. We are in Seoul to.. work on our carrier."
It seems like there's many stories of this lady which i want to know more.
"Your carrier.. what kind of job is it?"
LG held her cup and answered, "It's just damn cool.."
She smiled and finished her cappucino. I went numb unreasonably. Suddenly her handphone rang and it played SNSD's song : Genie.
"Hey that's my noonas song.."
LG smiled and whispered, "One moment..", then she opened the slide of her phone and talked..i think Spanish. I looked at her and listened to what she is saying. Yep, it's Spanish, no doubt. Then she ended her phone call and grabbed her backpack.
"Leaving so soon?" I asked.
She smiled while she untied Panda from the chair, "Call of duty.."
She waved to me but i called her back and asked..
"LG~ uh.."
"Yes, Jong Hyun?"
"Is there any chance for me to.. meet you again?"
I scratched my head and i know that i felt embarrassed but i didn't blush. Get real, man. If i blush i would look like a girl.
"We'll meet someday. Ok, adios ^^"
She waved at me and i waved back. Panda even barked sweetly to me, i just smiled at him and said bye bye.
I walked outside the cafe after i finished my drink and i was hoping that i'll meet her again. LG. She's the first girl that caught my eye, ever since i..didn't believe in love.
~~~~~
"Oh there you are Jong Hyun~ !"
Key hugged me as i entered our practicing room, we were having our Juliette performance tonight so i had my free one hour to travel around the streets, get some fresh air. That's when i met LG.
"Ok since all hyungs are here, let's practice!"
Our magnae are always the most vigorous if we get into a practice or rehearsal.
The 5 of us changed clothes and were about to start a practice, when i whispered to Key,
"Psst~ Key..I met a girl named LG, she's.."
Key snapped before i could finish my sentence.
"Wow you're talking about a girl. And it's like the first time ever since i know you. You're into girls right now? What about me?"
Key made a sad teasing face as if i had betrayed him, i slapped his face softly and burst put laughing.
"Babo. Hahahaha~ oh forget it, i'll tell you when we are done performing. Come on."
I had my hands around Key's shoulders and dragged him to our practicing room.
~~~~~
We've done our performance at SBS Inkigayo that night and believe it or not, i saw LG in the middle of the crowd. Really. No no, I'm not lying, she still wore the same outfit when i met her at the cafe and..when we were singing Juliette, i can see her singing along and clapping too.
We went to the backstage and all SHINee members gathered as we did a review of our performance. Key came up and sat beside me on the sofa.
"So, this LG girl, what about her?" he asked.
"Well, she is.." I explained the whole chronology of my story, about how i met LG. Key laughed when i told him that Panda 'sprayed' me. But then Key got curious when i explained about LG's appearance.
"Well done Jong Hyun, you are normal at last."
"What? Wha.. What do you mean?"
"You've been spending too much time with us, SHINee. And it seems like you have grown no fond of girls, especially fangirls. Remember our fansign event? You were so cold you know. I was afraid the fangirls would get scared to get close to you. But they love you so they made it."
I wrinkled my forehead.
"Was I that unrespectable?"
Key rolled his eyes.
"Yeah. No kidding. You're well known of your killer eyes and your cold attitudes to fans. Maybe that's the reason you haven't had a girlfriend until now, huh? Hahahahahaa"
I pushed Key's head, "Nonsense~. I don't have a girlfriend coz I wanted to focus on SHINee."
"Oh really?" Key teased me and pushed my arms with his elbows. I gave him a killer look.
"Ok. Maybe this LG is the lucky one?" asked Key.
I didn't answer Key's question, my eyes were staring at the door, which is half open. And i could see LG peeking from there. Did she hear us speaking? No that doesn't matter. Oh, and when she realized that i caught her peeking, she smiled so cool and walked away. I instantly stood up and ran to catch up to her.
"Whoa whoa Jong Hyun where are you going?" asked Key, i ignored him and kept running.
I ran through the corridors and looked around, i called for her name several times but no answer. Then i saw on my left, LG's pink backpack turning to the left at the other side of the corridor.
"LG~ ! LG wait.."
I ran to the corner and i looked at the way where she went. And all that i found was a little pink note paper falling down to the floor. I picked it up and read it.
Your performance was great, don't forget to take care of your health. We will meet again soon, ok?
Love,
LG and Panda ^^
"Love?" I murmured. I smirked and slipped in the note inside my pocket, and walked back to SHINee's backstage room while singing and snapping my hands.
~~~~~
Since that backstage 'incident' at Inkigayo, I kept thinking and wondering when and where am i able to meet LG again. Key was half right. I seldom act friendly to fangirls, i tend to be cold and..that doesn't give a good impression to fans.
So, here I am, walking at the streets again. I still had my hoodie on though, i don't want fans to scream and run after me. No.
As i passed the cafe where LG and I had a chat, I saw a familiar face sitting at the outdoor tables of the cafe. And a dog which i know too.
"LG~ ! Panda!"
I waved to both of them, Panda gave me a sweet bark. LG smiled cool as usual and waved back to me, she fixed her glasses back to place as she closed a novel that she was reading and she took off her earphones of her iPod video.
I walked to her table and asked, "May I join you?", while pointing to the seat across her.
"Oh, definitely. Please~.." She smiled as i sat across her.
"So, another 3pm walk in the streets?" she asked.
"Uh haha yeah i was finding some air..", Thank God i found you! Now i can breathe. Haha~.
"You want to order something? I'll get the waiter for you.."
Whoaaaa~ she is so kind. Ok, i admit that i'm hiding myself from melting.
"Oh aniyo~ It's okay i'll get it by myself"
I called the waiter and ordered a drink. Then i asked LG again,
"LG?"
"Ne..?"
"You were there, right? At Inkigayo.."
LG smiled as she held Panda and put him on her laps, and she pet Panda.
"Yeah, I was there..Why are you asking?"
She is damn honest. And her truthfulness is driving me crazy. She is none of my ideal type of my dream girl but..she has this thing..it's..
"Jong Hyun?"
She called me when i was busy fighting my own thoughts.
"Oh yeah. Uhm.. no. I just wanted to ask."
I was still confused. If LG was really there and i wasn't hallucinating, how could she ran so fast and left a message? Is she a running athlete or.. Ah never mind. The point is I'm here with her now and that's good enough.
The waiter came with my drink, i took a sip of it and right at that moment, LG's handphone rang again, and it still played the Genie song.
"Yoboseyo? Ah unnie.. ne, mi amigo~..."
I only understood the beginning parts but then LG kept talking Spanish. I don't know why suddenly i remembered Key speaking Spanish in our song : Talk To You. 'Damas y caballeros, blablabla and then somos SHINee'. Haha~ Key sounds neat in it.
A few seconds later LG shut her phone and told me that her unnies are coming to the cafe.
"Wow, am I disturbing you girls?" I asked.
LG laughed, "Ah~ aniyo.. in fact i would like to introduce you to my unnies.."
I opened my mouth in amaze. What? Introduce? What am I, her boyfriend? Well, i actually don't mind but..i felt kinda shy instantly.
I had a quick chat with LG. She found out that I didn't respect girls or love. But i didn't say that it all had change ever since i met her.
"You're saying that.. you don't believe in love?" she asked with a cute puppy face asking a treat to her master.
"Well, technically..yeah~"
"So you haven't had a girlfriend since.."
"Since i was born. Haha yeah~"
"How about the reality show, Yunhanam?"
Ok, now that question stopped me thinking for a while.
"Oh, it's just a reality show, LG. No big deal." I answered in confidence.
"And.. Seunghee unnie?", LG kept asking me questions. She suddenly get curious when i mentioned the word 'Love'.
"Ah Seunghee noona. You mean the one that went on a date with me to the amusement park? Well she picked me so i had to go with her."
LG made a frown, "But you look so charismatic together, especially with the holding hands scene. Too bad you gave her spoon and chopsticks instead of a ring or necklace."
I stopped and looked at LG. She was like trying to hold her laugh but then she burst it out. And i laughed too. Yeah. Why in the world i gave chopsticks to that noona?
"So now you haven't contact her?" LG continued asking.
I shook my head, and LG's face went sad.
"Oh that is stabbing Jong Hyun. Really. You should respect girls who date with you. At least be grateful.."
"LG~ !"
A girl's voice snapped LG's speech. It was her unnies.
"Unnie~"
LG stood up and hugged her 3 unnies, then she introduced them to me.
"Unnie, this is Jong Hyun, the Bling from SHINee remember?"
Her two unnies smiled at me but one, one of her unnies just gave a cold smile. She seemed..dark.
"And Jong Hyun, this is EG, my greeny unnie. She's 2 years older than me."
I bowed and smiled to this EG. She wore dominant green and her hair color was like Key's.
"This is WG, she is 3 years older than me, means the same age as you."
I did the same to WG. Calling her WG reminds me of Wonder Girls, hehe. She wore blue all over her body, and her hair was blonde.
"And this is my eldest unnie, DG. Uh, don't bother about her appearance she just loves wearing black. Oh and she is 5 years older than me."
I bowed and said hello to DG. Man, this girl looks gothic. Her hair was black with purple highlights, kinda reminds me of emo. And as LG said, she wears black all over her.
"Uhh.. LG, EG, WG, and DG.. any reasons about those cool nicknames?"
WG spoke up with her beautiful voice, "Yeah, we are the G sisters. That's why our names contains the letter G in it."
I continued to ask, "And G stands for.."
"You don't have to know, kid. Mind your own business." said DG sarcasticly.
LG went to her unnie and said, "DG unnie don't be so rude.. he is my.."
I could hardly hear what LG said coz she whispered to DG. But when LG told DG about something, DG then smiled and shake my hands and said, "Well hello there, kid. I didn't mean to be rude. Uhm, mianhae."
"Ah it's okay noona.." I scratched my head shyly.
Then LG asked her unnies to join us, i helped dragged three chairs and called the waiter. We had a fun chit chat and i had to excuse myself to go to the bathroom.
When i went back, guess what? Those pretty girls all left me. And i found another small pink note paper on the table, it says :
Jong Hyun, mianhae~ my unnies and I had to leave for our duty call. We should meet again, really. I found you interesting to talk and..
Well, we'll talk about it later. You will find me.
Love,
LG and Panda ^^
I just smiled to myself and felt so proud. Yeah I'm gonna meet LG again. And she even introduced me to her unnies! That's a good sign. A great sign. But why she didn't leave her phone number? It would be easier to contact her if i have her phone number. Oh never mind. I'm looking forward to our next meeting, LG !
~~~~~
A week went by, I've told Key about me meeting LG and her unnies. Key freaked out and said that it was awesome, and i have done a great job. But at the same time Key's eyes were red and he was like going to cry, i laughed and asked what's the matter. He just wiped his eyes and said, "I'm proud of you". Haha~
And now in this bright sunny morning, all the SHINee members left me back while they were all going for a jog. I quickly get my trainings and my jacket, put on my shoes and went out from our dorm. I closed the door and went down the stairs.
Guess who i found waiting for me at the parking lot? LG.
I stopped my steps as i saw her standing there.. She wore a pink adidas jacket, black long training pants, she wore a wristwatch on her left hand, she held a bottle of mineral water, and her hair was..uh..she had a ponytail, still with her straight bangs and her messy ponytail looks..gorgeous. Hehe~
"LG.." i called her name while staring at her.
"Hey ya! We meet again..", LG smiled sweetly.
"So, you're ready for a jog? And.. still in pink?"
LG laughed and said "Come on," while she started jogging in front of me. I followed her behind.
While jogging with her, i forgot to ask how did she get to our dorm, how did she know SHINee were about to go and exercise. But that doesn't matter. I asked different things instead.
"So this.. G sisters, you are all solid and, your job is?"
"Uh secret~ ! But it's cool, really."
Her mysterious names, unique unnies, and unpredictable job is bugging the crap out of me. It makes me more curious. Makes me wanna know her better. And for this time, i forgot to catch up to the other SHINee members.
We took a rest near a park, i sat down and LG offered me her drink. I refused. Well, looking at her just clears my thirst. Haha~
We had another conversation, this time about getting to know each other. And in the middle of the conversation, i asked this stupid little question..
"LG.."
"Yeah?" She chugged down her bottle of water and wiped her mouth with her jacket sleeves,
"Since we've quite know about each other.. I.. uhm, I.."
"You what?" she asked, she looked at me and smiled. It makes me more nervous.
I collect the bravery i had in me, and said,
"Would you mind, if we go steady and have a date?"
Suddenly a little girl fell off of a swing at the park, i instantly ran to her and help the little girl,
"Are you okay, girl?" I asked.
"Ne. Gomapseumnida oppa~"
The little girl kissed me on the cheek, i smiled and pat on her head, i told her to be careful next time, and then i turned my back,
I was about to get back to the bench to ask for LG's answer.
But she was gone, and she left a note in the little pink paper again,
Cool, you're learning how to respect girls now.
I accept your date, Jong Hyun. So.. we are now labelled as a couple? ^^
Love,
LG (not with Panda, as you see, i didn't bring him ^^)
Whoa, this is the third time she disappeared and left me a pink note..
I slipped in the note to my jacket, i jumped and yelled "YEAH~"
then i acted cool again and started jogging again to find the other SHINee members.
~~~~~
4 months went by,
today is my 4 month anniversary with LG, i'm so damn happy !
We went to the amusement park, LG wore a pink baby doll dress, dark pink cardigan, a little purse hanging on one of her shoulders, a pair of white-pink high heels, and of course, Panda by her side.
"Do you really have to bring Panda to our anniversary date?" i asked.
"Aww~ Panda teased me with the cute puppy face so i had to bring him with me.."
LG imitated the puppy face. She was so cute i had to give up and end up walking with my arms around her shoulder, she kept holding Panda in her arms.
We went on a few exciting and thrilling rides, Panda had to go to the pet corner to be taken care of while me and LG start wandering around.
We sat on a bench near the roller coaster when suddenly a few fangirls came up to me. They were like.. 11 years old and there was a few who were the same age as me and LG.
"Jong Hyun oppa, can i have your autograph?"
"Jong Hyun-goon, can i take a photo with you?"
And many more questions like that were given to me, i looked at LG, she smiled and held my hand, she told me to get along with the fangirls.
I remember what LG said, respect. I have to respect and change my cold attitudes to my fans.
So, i went busy signing and taking pictures with dozens of girls. I can see LG still waiting for me at the bench, she smiled at me while petting Panda, i smiled back and went busy again with the fans.
And the unformal signing event last about 15 minutes, as I went back to the bench..
LG was gone. Again.
And yes, she left a note, a pink one again, this time the note was longer than before..
Jong Hyun, jagiya~ ! I'm so proud of you, you finally learned how to respect other people. I was so happy seeing you taking pictures with your fans, it's so sweet ^^
And since the word 'respect' has been grown in your head, my work here is done.
Thank you for all the sweet memories in these 4 months, even I'm not willing to leave you. But i have to. I have to find other people to respect love.
Because you know what? That's my job.
Happy 4 month anniversary Jong Hyun, saranghae~ ! Take care, hon..
Love,
LG ~ Love Genie
Panda
EG ~ Earth Genie, her job is to make people respect earth.
WG ~ Water Genie, her job is to make people respect water, close to EG ^^
DG ~ Dark Genie, her job is.. well.. she just does what she wants.
P.S : See? I told you our job was cool. Bye, Jong Hyun !
I can't believe what i was reading, then i looked straight to the big fountain at the center. I could see LG waving at me and giving me a kiss bye. Then she walked to her unnies waiting near the fountain. All the four girls - and Panda - looked at me, they smiled so sweetly and waved, then they turned their back and suddenly vanished and they left glitters in the air, in different colors. Pink, Green, Blue and Black.. according to their trademark colors.
I still can't believe what i read, and what i saw. My mouth was open all the time, i stared at the last note from LG.
"So.. all these times, i was in love with a.. with a.. Genie???"
~The End~
"Panda, darling.. No ! Bad boy~"
I looked down and found a little white-with-black-marks beagle peeing on my foot. Then i saw his owner running towards me. She was a fine looking young lady, perhaps 3 years younger than me. She wore a black high waist skinny jeans, a pink spongebob shirt, and she had a small backpack hanging on her back, pink too. And her shoes were high stilletos, it made her look as tall as me.

"Panda, bad boy! You shouldn't have.."
She stopped scolding her cute little beagle and looked at me, I didn't say a word but she instantly apologized to me.
"Ah~ mianhae, my beagle is just sometimes wild. He is.."
She stopped and looked deep into my eyes, my face were still half covered under my hoodie. She looked at me for like..5 seconds and then she said,
"Hey i know, you..You're..the singer, the bling bling one?"
When she said bling bling i could see girls around who were walking, stopped and took a look at me, then i said,
"Sssht~ you think we could talk in another place?"
~~~~~
"Kim Jong Hyun, right? SHINee's lead vocal?"
I led her to a cafe that i recently visit, i know the place well and people who visit the cafe usually are celebs too, so i wouldn't mind spending time there.
"Yes, and you are..?", I stretched my hand towards her, willing for her to shake my hand. She accpeted my hand and shook it firmly.
"Uhm..just call me LG. No wonder you look so familiar. Oh and i want to apologize again because of Panda, are your shoes okay?"
It's fascinating how she doesn't freak out while other girls are supposed to go wild if they meet me. Maybe she's not a fan? No, impossible. She knows me, how could she be not a fan.
"It's okay, my shoes are fine. LG? Your stage name or..what does it stands for?"
I asked her about her unique name. LG. Wonder what it stands for..
"Well, my amigos usually call me LG, haha~"
She fix a piece of her hair which was falling off from it's place. I just kept still in amaze and adored her ignorance of my..popularity? I don't know. She should feel lucky and proud for having a coffee break here with me, THE Kim Jong Hyun. But why is she.. ah~ Why am i frustrating myself anyway?
"LG kinda sounds like a.." i doubt to continue my speech, i was afraid that it'll hurt her feelings.
"Brand? I know, hahaha. People say that oftenly. Yeah LG sounds..haha awkward but what can i do? It's my name."
She smiled sweetly and took a sip of her hot cappucino. Thank God she continued what i was going to say. Oh and her little Panda? Tied up to the seat right next to her. Sitting calmly and watching us talk.

"How did you know?"

I didn't answer Key's question, my eyes were staring at the door, which is half open. And i could see LG peeking from there. Did she hear us speaking? No that doesn't matter. Oh, and when she realized that i caught her peeking, she smiled so cool and walked away. I instantly stood up and ran to catch up to her.
"Whoa whoa Jong Hyun where are you going?" asked Key, i ignored him and kept running.
I ran through the corridors and looked around, i called for her name several times but no answer. Then i saw on my left, LG's pink backpack turning to the left at the other side of the corridor.
"LG~ ! LG wait.."
I ran to the corner and i looked at the way where she went. And all that i found was a little pink note paper falling down to the floor. I picked it up and read it.
Your performance was great, don't forget to take care of your health. We will meet again soon, ok?
Love,
LG and Panda ^^
"Love?" I murmured. I smirked and slipped in the note inside my pocket, and walked back to SHINee's backstage room while singing and snapping my hands.
~~~~~
Since that backstage 'incident' at Inkigayo, I kept thinking and wondering when and where am i able to meet LG again. Key was half right. I seldom act friendly to fangirls, i tend to be cold and..that doesn't give a good impression to fans.
So, here I am, walking at the streets again. I still had my hoodie on though, i don't want fans to scream and run after me. No.
As i passed the cafe where LG and I had a chat, I saw a familiar face sitting at the outdoor tables of the cafe. And a dog which i know too.
"LG~ ! Panda!"
I waved to both of them, Panda gave me a sweet bark. LG smiled cool as usual and waved back to me, she fixed her glasses back to place as she closed a novel that she was reading and she took off her earphones of her iPod video.
I walked to her table and asked, "May I join you?", while pointing to the seat across her.
"Oh, definitely. Please~.." She smiled as i sat across her.
"So, another 3pm walk in the streets?" she asked.
"Uh haha yeah i was finding some air..", Thank God i found you! Now i can breathe. Haha~.
"You want to order something? I'll get the waiter for you.."
Whoaaaa~ she is so kind. Ok, i admit that i'm hiding myself from melting.
"Oh aniyo~ It's okay i'll get it by myself"
I called the waiter and ordered a drink. Then i asked LG again,
"LG?"
"Ne..?"
"You were there, right? At Inkigayo.."
LG smiled as she held Panda and put him on her laps, and she pet Panda.
"Yeah, I was there..Why are you asking?"
She is damn honest. And her truthfulness is driving me crazy. She is none of my ideal type of my dream girl but..she has this thing..it's..
"Jong Hyun?"
She called me when i was busy fighting my own thoughts.
"Oh yeah. Uhm.. no. I just wanted to ask."
I was still confused. If LG was really there and i wasn't hallucinating, how could she ran so fast and left a message? Is she a running athlete or.. Ah never mind. The point is I'm here with her now and that's good enough.
The waiter came with my drink, i took a sip of it and right at that moment, LG's handphone rang again, and it still played the Genie song.
"Yoboseyo? Ah unnie.. ne, mi amigo~..."
I only understood the beginning parts but then LG kept talking Spanish. I don't know why suddenly i remembered Key speaking Spanish in our song : Talk To You. 'Damas y caballeros, blablabla and then somos SHINee'. Haha~ Key sounds neat in it.
A few seconds later LG shut her phone and told me that her unnies are coming to the cafe.
"Wow, am I disturbing you girls?" I asked.
LG laughed, "Ah~ aniyo.. in fact i would like to introduce you to my unnies.."
I opened my mouth in amaze. What? Introduce? What am I, her boyfriend? Well, i actually don't mind but..i felt kinda shy instantly.
I had a quick chat with LG. She found out that I didn't respect girls or love. But i didn't say that it all had change ever since i met her.
"You're saying that.. you don't believe in love?" she asked with a cute puppy face asking a treat to her master.
"Well, technically..yeah~"
"So you haven't had a girlfriend since.."
"Since i was born. Haha yeah~"
"How about the reality show, Yunhanam?"
Ok, now that question stopped me thinking for a while.
"Oh, it's just a reality show, LG. No big deal." I answered in confidence.
"And.. Seunghee unnie?", LG kept asking me questions. She suddenly get curious when i mentioned the word 'Love'.
"Ah Seunghee noona. You mean the one that went on a date with me to the amusement park? Well she picked me so i had to go with her."
LG made a frown, "But you look so charismatic together, especially with the holding hands scene. Too bad you gave her spoon and chopsticks instead of a ring or necklace."
I stopped and looked at LG. She was like trying to hold her laugh but then she burst it out. And i laughed too. Yeah. Why in the world i gave chopsticks to that noona?
"So now you haven't contact her?" LG continued asking.
I shook my head, and LG's face went sad.
"Oh that is stabbing Jong Hyun. Really. You should respect girls who date with you. At least be grateful.."
"LG~ !"
A girl's voice snapped LG's speech. It was her unnies.
"Unnie~"
LG stood up and hugged her 3 unnies, then she introduced them to me.
"Unnie, this is Jong Hyun, the Bling from SHINee remember?"
Her two unnies smiled at me but one, one of her unnies just gave a cold smile. She seemed..dark.
"And Jong Hyun, this is EG, my greeny unnie. She's 2 years older than me."
I bowed and smiled to this EG. She wore dominant green and her hair color was like Key's.
"This is WG, she is 3 years older than me, means the same age as you."
I did the same to WG. Calling her WG reminds me of Wonder Girls, hehe. She wore blue all over her body, and her hair was blonde.
"And this is my eldest unnie, DG. Uh, don't bother about her appearance she just loves wearing black. Oh and she is 5 years older than me."
I bowed and said hello to DG. Man, this girl looks gothic. Her hair was black with purple highlights, kinda reminds me of emo. And as LG said, she wears black all over her.
"Uhh.. LG, EG, WG, and DG.. any reasons about those cool nicknames?"
WG spoke up with her beautiful voice, "Yeah, we are the G sisters. That's why our names contains the letter G in it."
I continued to ask, "And G stands for.."
"You don't have to know, kid. Mind your own business." said DG sarcasticly.
LG went to her unnie and said, "DG unnie don't be so rude.. he is my.."
I could hardly hear what LG said coz she whispered to DG. But when LG told DG about something, DG then smiled and shake my hands and said, "Well hello there, kid. I didn't mean to be rude. Uhm, mianhae."
"Ah it's okay noona.." I scratched my head shyly.
Then LG asked her unnies to join us, i helped dragged three chairs and called the waiter. We had a fun chit chat and i had to excuse myself to go to the bathroom.
When i went back, guess what? Those pretty girls all left me. And i found another small pink note paper on the table, it says :
Jong Hyun, mianhae~ my unnies and I had to leave for our duty call. We should meet again, really. I found you interesting to talk and..
Well, we'll talk about it later. You will find me.
Love,
LG and Panda ^^
I just smiled to myself and felt so proud. Yeah I'm gonna meet LG again. And she even introduced me to her unnies! That's a good sign. A great sign. But why she didn't leave her phone number? It would be easier to contact her if i have her phone number. Oh never mind. I'm looking forward to our next meeting, LG !
~~~~~
A week went by, I've told Key about me meeting LG and her unnies. Key freaked out and said that it was awesome, and i have done a great job. But at the same time Key's eyes were red and he was like going to cry, i laughed and asked what's the matter. He just wiped his eyes and said, "I'm proud of you". Haha~
And now in this bright sunny morning, all the SHINee members left me back while they were all going for a jog. I quickly get my trainings and my jacket, put on my shoes and went out from our dorm. I closed the door and went down the stairs.
Guess who i found waiting for me at the parking lot? LG.
I stopped my steps as i saw her standing there.. She wore a pink adidas jacket, black long training pants, she wore a wristwatch on her left hand, she held a bottle of mineral water, and her hair was..uh..she had a ponytail, still with her straight bangs and her messy ponytail looks..gorgeous. Hehe~
"LG.." i called her name while staring at her.
"Hey ya! We meet again..", LG smiled sweetly.
"So, you're ready for a jog? And.. still in pink?"
LG laughed and said "Come on," while she started jogging in front of me. I followed her behind.
While jogging with her, i forgot to ask how did she get to our dorm, how did she know SHINee were about to go and exercise. But that doesn't matter. I asked different things instead.
"So this.. G sisters, you are all solid and, your job is?"
"Uh secret~ ! But it's cool, really."
Her mysterious names, unique unnies, and unpredictable job is bugging the crap out of me. It makes me more curious. Makes me wanna know her better. And for this time, i forgot to catch up to the other SHINee members.
We took a rest near a park, i sat down and LG offered me her drink. I refused. Well, looking at her just clears my thirst. Haha~
We had another conversation, this time about getting to know each other. And in the middle of the conversation, i asked this stupid little question..
"LG.."
"Yeah?" She chugged down her bottle of water and wiped her mouth with her jacket sleeves,
"Since we've quite know about each other.. I.. uhm, I.."
"You what?" she asked, she looked at me and smiled. It makes me more nervous.
I collect the bravery i had in me, and said,
"Would you mind, if we go steady and have a date?"
Suddenly a little girl fell off of a swing at the park, i instantly ran to her and help the little girl,
"Are you okay, girl?" I asked.
"Ne. Gomapseumnida oppa~"
The little girl kissed me on the cheek, i smiled and pat on her head, i told her to be careful next time, and then i turned my back,
I was about to get back to the bench to ask for LG's answer.
But she was gone, and she left a note in the little pink paper again,
Cool, you're learning how to respect girls now.
I accept your date, Jong Hyun. So.. we are now labelled as a couple? ^^
Love,
LG (not with Panda, as you see, i didn't bring him ^^)
Whoa, this is the third time she disappeared and left me a pink note..
I slipped in the note to my jacket, i jumped and yelled "YEAH~"
then i acted cool again and started jogging again to find the other SHINee members.
~~~~~
4 months went by,
today is my 4 month anniversary with LG, i'm so damn happy !
We went to the amusement park, LG wore a pink baby doll dress, dark pink cardigan, a little purse hanging on one of her shoulders, a pair of white-pink high heels, and of course, Panda by her side.
"Do you really have to bring Panda to our anniversary date?" i asked.
"Aww~ Panda teased me with the cute puppy face so i had to bring him with me.."
LG imitated the puppy face. She was so cute i had to give up and end up walking with my arms around her shoulder, she kept holding Panda in her arms.
We went on a few exciting and thrilling rides, Panda had to go to the pet corner to be taken care of while me and LG start wandering around.
We sat on a bench near the roller coaster when suddenly a few fangirls came up to me. They were like.. 11 years old and there was a few who were the same age as me and LG.
"Jong Hyun oppa, can i have your autograph?"
"Jong Hyun-goon, can i take a photo with you?"
And many more questions like that were given to me, i looked at LG, she smiled and held my hand, she told me to get along with the fangirls.
I remember what LG said, respect. I have to respect and change my cold attitudes to my fans.
So, i went busy signing and taking pictures with dozens of girls. I can see LG still waiting for me at the bench, she smiled at me while petting Panda, i smiled back and went busy again with the fans.
And the unformal signing event last about 15 minutes, as I went back to the bench..
LG was gone. Again.
And yes, she left a note, a pink one again, this time the note was longer than before..
Jong Hyun, jagiya~ ! I'm so proud of you, you finally learned how to respect other people. I was so happy seeing you taking pictures with your fans, it's so sweet ^^
And since the word 'respect' has been grown in your head, my work here is done.
Thank you for all the sweet memories in these 4 months, even I'm not willing to leave you. But i have to. I have to find other people to respect love.
Because you know what? That's my job.
Happy 4 month anniversary Jong Hyun, saranghae~ ! Take care, hon..
Love,
LG ~ Love Genie
Panda
EG ~ Earth Genie, her job is to make people respect earth.
WG ~ Water Genie, her job is to make people respect water, close to EG ^^
DG ~ Dark Genie, her job is.. well.. she just does what she wants.
P.S : See? I told you our job was cool. Bye, Jong Hyun !
I can't believe what i was reading, then i looked straight to the big fountain at the center. I could see LG waving at me and giving me a kiss bye. Then she walked to her unnies waiting near the fountain. All the four girls - and Panda - looked at me, they smiled so sweetly and waved, then they turned their back and suddenly vanished and they left glitters in the air, in different colors. Pink, Green, Blue and Black.. according to their trademark colors.
I still can't believe what i read, and what i saw. My mouth was open all the time, i stared at the last note from LG.
"So.. all these times, i was in love with a.. with a.. Genie???"
~The End~
One Shot
"Yo, Solandres ! We got a briefing, seems like we have a new guy."
Max's voice shocked me. I was daydreaming on the top of my bunk bed when he called me.
I crawled down and walked slowly to the door, then Max walked with me to the assembly hall.
"New guy?", I asked to him.
"Yeah. I heard that he's from South Korea."
South Korea? Dang~ Must be one of those cute type actors or singers who signed in to military. But why is he transported here?
We were near the assembly hall when somebody called me,
"Isabelle !"
I turned my back and saw Peter running towards us.
"Stop calling me with that girlish name."
Peter chuckled. "Well, General Smith gave that 'stage' name for you. And i prefer to call you Isabelle then Solandres. You know, Isabelle Solandres sounds a little too.."
I looked sarcasticly at Peter.
"Never mind. Let's go check out the newbie."
Peter walked through Max and me. We followed him inside the assembly hall. Other agents were already gathering in there. Max, Peter and me walked through the crowd and stand at the front row. The three of us are besties in this secret organization. We always become curious everytime there's a new agent that will be working with us.
"Agents, today we have a transported newbie from South Korea. He will be working with us from now on. This gentleman is well known for his awesome abilities and shooting skills. He once worked for the Korean military for one year, until our organization pulled him in. Agent Kim, please introduce yourself."
I was trying to look at that Korean guy but the 'MC' covered him. Peter and Max are just talking way beyond the reason we are gathering here. I just kept looking behind the MC until finally that newbie showed himself..
"Annyeong haseyo~ ah. I mean, good afternoon all. My name is Kim Jong Hyun. As you all know, I'm recruited to work here, I'm from South Korea. I usually was a recruit for Korean military. It's an honor for me to work here with all you guys. I hope we can cooperate together. Thank you."
Ah~ Kim Jong Hyun. He looks kinda pretty for a guy. His black hair with bangs are just too cute for an agent. But his arms look tough. I wonder if he works well.
I saw him bowing after his short speech. Then his eyes travelled around the hall, seems like his looking to all of our agents which mostly are western people. There's just a few asians. I was paying too much attention to him when suddenly his eyes met mine. He stopped looking around and just looked at me. Maybe it's a bit odd for him to find a girl in this kind of organization. I was kinda bothered so I talked to Max and Peter. Then I didn't know where he was looking at again.
When we were about to go back to our rooms, my boss called me to go to his office. I told Max and Peter to go and I'll catch up later. So i instantly went to General Smith's office. As i arrived there, i saw this guy sitting in front of General Smith. I can only see his back. I felt that i could recognize him from his hair. But then i ignored my thoughts and obeyed as Smith told me to sit down next to the guy.
"Isabelle..", said Smith.
I interrupted and said, "Ehem, I prefer Solandres, Sir."
Smith just gave a wise smile, then he continued his speech,
"Solandres, just let me get to the point. You will work with this guy beside you from now on. You two are considered as partners."
Before i looked at the guy who was gonna be my partner, i refused and said,
"General, did you remember that i always work alone? I don't accept partners and I.."
Smith cut my speech,
"Solandres, having a partner is a must in our organization. Even Michelle, your former room mate, already has a partner too."
"You mean Max? Of course, Sir. Michelle and Max are great as a partner. But me, Sir. I don't get well with partners, I.."
"Solandres ! Why don't you just intoduce yourself to your new partner?!"
Smith was nearly angry when i kept refusing for a partner. I finally looked to my right and saw the newbie who as at the hall just then.
"Hi, I'm Kim Jong Hyun, you can call me Jong Hyun."
I startled and unconciously adored his eyes. As i thought, his face was too cute for an agent. His eyes showed something that makes me.. amazed. Overall, he looks pretty to me.
But i kept showing the 'stay cool' act. When he strecthed his hands, i held it firmly and we shaked hands. He was wearing short sleeved shirt so i can see his muscles as he grabbed my hand. Quite strong for a cute guy.
"Solandres. Isabelle Solandres.", I spoke my name in doubt, hoping he will not tease me with that freaking Italianish name that Smith gave to me.
I can see that his eyebrows rised a bit, then he said
"Isabelle? What a beautiful name.."
I can see Smith smiling unreasonably, somewhat like teasing me. I just gave a sharp look to Jong Hyun, then i made a forced smile.
"One more thing, Solandres. You have to share your room with him."
Smith's voice kinda scared me.
"What?! I mean, Sir.. I don't think it's a good idea for me sharing my room with..", I looked at him and he just gave an innocent look, "... him."
Smith just smiled.
~~~~~
"So how did you end up being an agent here? Where do you come from?"
My new partner kept asking me questions, but i wasn't annoyed at all.
"I.. signed up myself to this organization. And from where i come from, i'm afraid i can't tell you specificly. I'm actually Asian, like you."
Jong Hyun made this wow face, like he was amazed or something.
"You're Asian, but your eyes..." he hung up his speech.
I looked to the mirror beside my bed, then i answered,
"This?" I pointed to my eyes, "..it's blue because i actually had an surgical operation for my eyes. My eyes once suffered from miopi. I knew i couldn't get into any organization with bad eyes like mine. So i had the surgery. I don't know why my eyes then changed to blue. The doctor said it was an effect from the surgery. And until now I still can't believe it."
I stared at my own eyes in the mirror, Jong Hyun just smiled.
"It's.. beautiful." he said.
"I'm sorry, i don't like that word." I said, spontaneously.
Jong Hyun's face suddenly went guilty, "Aish~ mianhae.."
I made a frown, "Mi..anhae?"
"It means 'I'm Sorry' in Korean.."
I just made an 'oh' face and get tidy of my stuff.
"You said you're abilities in shooting are like.. awesome?"
Jong Hyun scratched his head shyly. He just nod.
"Well.. let's give it a try."
I walked to the door and gave a sign for him to follow me.
We went to the practice room, i led him to the shooting section. And yes, his shooting skills were fabulous. It's so hard to believe that, a pretty looking guy at him has an ability that even normal agents don't have. Impressive.
~~~~~
"So this Jong Hyun, really has skills for aiming and shooting?"
Michelle kept asking me about my new partner. I just nod to every single question she asked.
Michelle is my best friend, she's 3 years old younger than me. She listens to everything i say. I consider her as my little sister, she even taught me how to write a diary.. which i haven't tried yet cause i hate being girly.
Michelle belongs to the same country as me. She signed up as an agent, cause she was looking for me when i ran out from my country. I had this.. simple but major problem that made me feel insane so i had to get my shooting skills out. That's why i had enough guts to sign in here, in SIO. We are the only two women agents in SIO, oh and also Smith's wife, Georgia. She's like a senior agent to us.
I was shocked when i saw Michelle as a newbie. And i was amazed when i found out she had almost the same skills as me, except, she runs faster. I was almost eliminated when Smith found out that i had asthma, but I insisted and showed the best of my shooting skills. I was labelled as the greatest shooter in SIO, thanks to the surgery. Until this Jong Hyun came..
"Belle~ ! Isabelle !"
Michelle popped into my thoughts,
"Why do you keep calling me with that Italian name?", I asked.
"Because it suits you much, hahahaha~", Michelle burst out laughing. I rolled my eyes.
Smith also gave Michelle her name. I don't know, it's like Smith has this weird obsession of naming girls with Italian name. I don't even know whether it is Italian or Spanish or.. forget it.
Suddenly i saw three guys walking towards our table. They were bringing their lunch tray with them, and it seems like they want to join my table and Michelle.
"Yo, Isabelle~ !" waved Peter.
"Solandres !", I shouted at him, the other two guys laughed.
"May i join you guys?" asked Jong Hyun, politely. I was about to answer when Michelle spoke first, "Oh, of course ! Take a seat.". Michelle pointed to the empty chair beside me.
Max sat beside Michelle, and Peter sat beside Max. We had a great lunch while Jong Hyun was telling much about himself. And I.. felt something frizzy about him.
~~~~~
It was our first mafia trial. All the named agents were called to assemble at the field. We were about to start a simulation of taking down a world class group of mafias. For Jong Hyun, this was his first trial.
"So, since we're partners, what do we have to do?" he asked.
I walked fastly heading to the gun station, he was following me on my back.
"What do you think?" i asked back.
"Protect each other?" he asked again. I stopped and turned around. He made a scared face like as if i was going to hit him, then i said..
"There. You know it already. Come on let's load our guns."
knew Jong Hyun was smiling behind my back.
The simulation started. We were divided into teams, each contains 4 agents. My team was Max, Michelle, Jong Hyun and me. Michelle and Max are like.. inseparable. Max is from Korea too, so he mingled well with Jong Hyun. And Michelle, she just has this feelings for Korean guys. That's why she made a great partner for Max. Oh and i was wondering when will Jong Hyun have his western name. Or Italian?
We decided to divide our group again into two parts. I went with Jong Hyun, well, he's my partner afterall. We were able to take down a few enemies. The bullet was made of paintball, as usual. In the simulation, it seems that i dominated it. Jong Hyun was more like just following me. I felt a little arogant and had y pride at the top when suddenly Jong Hyun dragged me back and pushed me to wall. I was about to freak out but he covered my mouth. We both kept still for a few second when finally Jong Hyun looked out from the wall and shoot 3 or 4 enemies with one hand, his right hand was still covering my mouth. It was cool, honestly.
at the end of the simulation, we all gathered and had a review.
"You shouldn't have pushed me back to the wall like that." i said to Jong Hyun.
"are you crazy? you could have been shot down if i didn't pull you back." he said.
"But covering my mouth?"
"Because you were gonna freak out~ ! I knew it, Isabelle, don't lie."
"Solandres~ !"
I still felt uncomfy if there was any other person who calls me Isabelle, except Michelle and Peter. But Jong Hyun kept insisting calling me Isabelle.
"It's my mouth and it's me who decides what to call you. You're my partner afterall."
~~~~~
5 months went by. My partnership with Jong Hyun became more solid in many ways. Loyalty, trustworthy, solidarity, everything. Oh, and Smith gave Jong Hyun a western name : John. It makes me wanna laugh everytime i hear it, so i kept calling him Jong Hyun, while he kept calling me Isabelle. I found out almost everything about him, his life stories, his families, his country. But unfortunately, i wasn't willing to tell my story. I just told him that my story wasn't as interesting as his. Lucky he didn't forced me to tell it.
And in the last 2 months, i felt something different.
~~~~~
"All agents should assemble at the entrance hall immediatly. Repeat, all agents must assemble at the entrance hall immediatly, this is not a simulation, i repeat, NOT A SIMULATION~"
The voice from the speaker shocked me. I was cleaning my AK-47 and Jong Hyun was playing with his when we both heard it. I gave him an almost scared look, and we both put on our suits. I finished first, i put on my bulletproof-ed vest and ran to the door, i told Jong Hyun to catch up.
We all gathered at the entrance hall. I saw dozens of black trucks, two black jets and one black toyota camry. Michelle, Peter and Max were there too. We were given instructions that we were about to take down a group of world class mafia, just like our simulation before. The location was actually abroad, so the dozenz of trucks will be shifted to SIO's secret jets, and will be dropped at the mafia's country.
I haven't took down a group of mafias before. The hardest situation i got was when SIO had to evacuate victims from a robbery, a huge robbery in a bank. I took down 2 bad guys and since then i was given a reward for the best sniper/shooter. But this? Mafia? I don't know, i just get the nerves. When i was trying my best to hide my body from shaking, Jong Hyun who was beside me, suddenly reached for my hands and held it so firmly. His hands were warm.
"We're gonna do this awesomely. You, me. The best snipers. Come on get rid of your nerves."
I didn't look at him. I just kept listening to his voice. Every word he says, seem to make me feel more calm. I let my hands in his until our boss told us to get into each our trucks. I let go of him but he still walked beside me. Smith suddenly stopped and stood in our way, he said that Jong Hyun and I were supposed to get into the private jet. The two black ones that i saw. Smith said the jets were for the best agents. I thanked him and gave him a quick hug, so did Jong Hyun. Then we hopped on to SIO's special secret jet.
In the jet, no one was talking. Even Jong Hyun didn't say a word. I bet he was nervous to, but he was able to hide it. The pilot, co pilot, and 3 other agents discussed about our mission. Jong Hyun and I blend in to the discussion, we were given code names. Jong Hyun was agent 8 and i was agent 13. Our flight was short, the jet was extremely fast. We have arrived to the mafia's nest.
Agent 1, who was the leader of my team, split our team into a few parts again, i was with Jong Hyun (again). We were situated in an empty but wide building, seems like an empty factory. Smith assumed that this empty factory was the mafia's basecamp. We began to sneak inside.
Michelle, Max, and Peter were the outring team, they were the ones who have to guard outside tha factory. I met Michelle and she wasn't wearing any bulletproof vest. I gave mine to her, hoping that i will be fine. Jong Hyun didn't allowed me at the first time, but then he let me. I don't know why.
Our mission went fast, i could hardly remember anything, the mafias popped out from nowhere and it started a gun fight with our agents. I split up with Jong Hyun for a while and i was on my own. I took down like.. 4 to 5 guys while hiding behind these big drums of oil. It was empty, actually. The room was dark, because we attacked at dawn. I was sneaking quickly when i bumped into someone, i reached for my gun and put it on his head when he actually spoke and said..
"Sssht~ Isabelle, it's me."
Jong Hyun nearly scared the hell out of me. He put his point finger in front of his mouth, signaling me to be quiet. We sneaked as quiet as we can, while giving codes to other agents near us. Suddenly this one freaky mafia popped out and shoot everywhere furiously. Agent 1 had to come out and handle that freaky guy. I couldn't just stand there and watch, i ran towards agent 1 and helped him shoot the guy. Jong Hyun followed me behind and covered my back.
Jong Hyun, agent 1 and me shoot every mafia who was coming near and threatening. I remember this scene where Jong Hyun was surrounded by three mafias, agent 1 slide to Jong Hyun's leg and shoot the mafia on Jong Hyun's left, while i did an unexpected kartwheel, kicked the mafia on Jong Hyun's right and shot him, and Jong Hyun simply shot the guy in front of him, then the three of us said, "Damn, we're good~"
As we thought that our room was clear, agent 1 told us to move on. He walked in front of us and I just followed him. Jong Hyun was busy taking care of his gun when suddenly i heard a big bang behind me. I turned my back.
Then i saw Jong Hyun falling to the floor.
I ran to him and held him so he didn't hit the floor, my left hand was holding his head while my right hand was around his waist. I felt something wet. i lifted my right hand and even though it's dark, i could see that my hand was covered in blood. Jong Hyun's blood.
"oh.. shit.. Jong Hyun~ ! Jong Hyun are you okay?"
Jong Hyun didn't answer me, he grinned in pain.
"Jong Hyun, answer me !"
I moved my hands around his body, and i realized that he wasn't wearing his bulletproof vest.
I turned angry, "Where the hell is your vest?"
"I.. I left it.. i couldn't find it when we were.. about to.. assemble.."
Jong Hyun was breathing hardly, he was panting. Blood kept running from his waist.
I started to feel that my eyes were wet. No, I'm not crying.
"Jong Hyun stay with me okay. We've done great, we're awesome, come on get up!"
Jong Hyun still grinned in pain, i couldn't bear seeing him like that.
Then, he lifted his left hand very weakly. He caressed my cheek and i could tell that my cheek was instantly covered with his blood. I didn't care.
"Isabelle, or.. whoever your real name is.. when.. if i'm.. not able to make this out.. i just want you to know.. that.."
My eyes were getting more wet, "Shut up~ ! Don't say a thing, because if you do.."
"Sssht.." Jong Hyun put his finger on my lips, "Let me finish.. my.. sentence.."
At that exact time, i felt tears running down my face. It was my first time to cry ever since i entered SIO. Jong Hyun looked at me deep in my eyes,
"Belle~.. You are the greatest sniper that i have known.. you are my influence for being confident.. in.. every.. simulation.."
Jong Hyun's voice became more weak. My tears fell down so fast.
"The.. last.. 5.. months.. have been special to me coz.."
I moved my right hand from his waist to his cheek. I held it just the exact way he held mine. Then he said this sentence that i clearly don't understand, but deep inside i know the meaning.
"Isabelle.. sarang~hae.."
I could feel that his hands on my cheek slowly dropped. His eyes which was looking deep into mine slowly closed. I screamed out.
"No~ ! NO.. Jong Hyun you can't leave me like this, Jong Hyun wake up! Jong Hyun!"
I shaked his body with my hands, which was useless because he didn't move at all. Then i heard steps running towards me. Agent 1 and his partner saw me and gave a code to other agents.
"Sector 3 this is agent 1. Man down, i repeat man down on sector 3."
My tears kept falling on Jong Hyun's face, i kept shouting at him to wake up.
"Agent 13, we have to move." said Agent 1 to me.
"Can't you see that my partner is down?!" I almost shrieked at him when i was saying that.
Agent 1 came near me and pulled my arm, i refused and kept helding Jong Hyun in my arms. Suddenly agent 1 shouted watch out and i heard another big bang, this time it sounds like two guns being shot at the same time.
I saw this other mafia guy falling down to the floor on my right. Agent 1 shot him. But i felt pain too. Held my upper waist and found blood running out of it. Agent 1 was still covering me and Jong Hyun from other mafias. I felt dizzy. I felt weak. And that time i found out that.. my past 5 months was so precious. I let go of Jong Hyun slowly. I still sat beside him, i was holding my upper waist with my left hand. I slowly leant down to the floor. My right hand reached out for Jong Hyun's cheek..
I found out that.. he was my life. He was the best thing that happened to my life. He was my everything. And i would do anything to meet him again.
I caressed his cheek with all the strength that i have, i was laying on the floor next to him, his face was in front of mine. Then i whispered..
"Jong Hyun.. saranghae, mianhae.."
My visions went blur. I could see agent 1 running back to me but then..
It all went black.
~~~~~
* Michelle's POV *
I cried so badly with Max by my side. As well as Peter, and 4 Korean guys who were Jong Hyun's best friends. Those korean guys all had red eyes, it seems that they are trying to hide their tears.
General Smith, Georgia, Agent 1 and all other agents had already went back to SIO after Jong Hyun and Isabelle's funeral.
I looked at the name carved on the gravestone.
R.I.P
SIO's best snipers
Kim Jong Hyun
and
Isabelle Solandres
I couldn't believe that Belle gave her bulletproof vest to me. If she didn't, all of this wouldn't have happened. Max kept hugging me, while i hugged a small pink hardcovered book.
Isabelle's diary.
She actually wrote a diary when i told her to. One of Jong Hyun's best friend came up to me and asked about it. I opened the diary, and read it out loud.
"January 15th. Today is awesome. Well, not awesome in an 'awe' way. It's just cool. We had a newbie again and he is a transported agent from Korea. Cool~ new guys are just fun. I hope we could be good accquaintance with him. Kim Jong Hyun's the name.
January 17th. Get it real. How come Smith commanded me to share my room with that pretty newbie? I don't share rooms. It's MY room, for goodness sake. Argh~
January 23rd. This Jong Hyun is driving me crazy. He asks me everthing that i can't even answer. And his skills are killing me! Now i have a new rival to get the best sniper title."
I skipped a few pages and went to the part during 5 months ago, where Jong Hyun and Isabelle's relationship are getting better...
"March 9th. Something weird is happening to me. Everytime Jong Hyun calls me Isabelle, i don't get pissed off. Usually when Peter, even Michelle called me Isabelle, i keep forcing them to call me Solandres. Why am I being fine if it's.. Jong Hyun?"
I stopped reading and looked at all Jong Hyun's best friends. Then i continued reading, this time i read it in my heart but i saw this writing that makes me want to read it loud.
"June 29th. Smith says that our mission to take down the world class mafia will be held in no time. Could be days, could be weeks. But I'm absolutely ready. Jong Hyun is confident too. I promised myself that.. if we all make it out in that mission, I will tell Jong Hyun. I will tell him, that i love him.."
I stopped reading and burst out into tears. Max kept helding me and patting my head. I couldn't bear to read more. I closed Isabelle's diary and lend it to Key, one of Jong Hyun's best friend.
"Please take care of it.. for Jong Hyun and Isabelle~"
Key nod, and i can see tears falling of as well from his eyes, so as the other 3 guys.
The 4 besties of Jong Hyun then went back home before me, Peter and Max. I waved goodbye and watched them go.
I took the white orchid that Peter was holding for me, i walked to the gravestone and whispered...
"I hope you two will meet.. there~.. Goodbye Unnie, I will miss you so much.."
I kept crying, and i put the bouquet of flowers in front of the gravestone.
Then, I went back to SIO with Max and Peter,
We promised that we will be the next best snipers..
In order to honor Jong Hyun and Isabelle's passings.
~The End~
Max's voice shocked me. I was daydreaming on the top of my bunk bed when he called me.
I crawled down and walked slowly to the door, then Max walked with me to the assembly hall.
"New guy?", I asked to him.
"Yeah. I heard that he's from South Korea."
South Korea? Dang~ Must be one of those cute type actors or singers who signed in to military. But why is he transported here?
We were near the assembly hall when somebody called me,
"Isabelle !"
I turned my back and saw Peter running towards us.
"Stop calling me with that girlish name."
Peter chuckled. "Well, General Smith gave that 'stage' name for you. And i prefer to call you Isabelle then Solandres. You know, Isabelle Solandres sounds a little too.."
I looked sarcasticly at Peter.
"Never mind. Let's go check out the newbie."
Peter walked through Max and me. We followed him inside the assembly hall. Other agents were already gathering in there. Max, Peter and me walked through the crowd and stand at the front row. The three of us are besties in this secret organization. We always become curious everytime there's a new agent that will be working with us.
"Agents, today we have a transported newbie from South Korea. He will be working with us from now on. This gentleman is well known for his awesome abilities and shooting skills. He once worked for the Korean military for one year, until our organization pulled him in. Agent Kim, please introduce yourself."
I was trying to look at that Korean guy but the 'MC' covered him. Peter and Max are just talking way beyond the reason we are gathering here. I just kept looking behind the MC until finally that newbie showed himself..
"Annyeong haseyo~ ah. I mean, good afternoon all. My name is Kim Jong Hyun. As you all know, I'm recruited to work here, I'm from South Korea. I usually was a recruit for Korean military. It's an honor for me to work here with all you guys. I hope we can cooperate together. Thank you."
Ah~ Kim Jong Hyun. He looks kinda pretty for a guy. His black hair with bangs are just too cute for an agent. But his arms look tough. I wonder if he works well.
I saw him bowing after his short speech. Then his eyes travelled around the hall, seems like his looking to all of our agents which mostly are western people. There's just a few asians. I was paying too much attention to him when suddenly his eyes met mine. He stopped looking around and just looked at me. Maybe it's a bit odd for him to find a girl in this kind of organization. I was kinda bothered so I talked to Max and Peter. Then I didn't know where he was looking at again.
When we were about to go back to our rooms, my boss called me to go to his office. I told Max and Peter to go and I'll catch up later. So i instantly went to General Smith's office. As i arrived there, i saw this guy sitting in front of General Smith. I can only see his back. I felt that i could recognize him from his hair. But then i ignored my thoughts and obeyed as Smith told me to sit down next to the guy.
"Isabelle..", said Smith.
I interrupted and said, "Ehem, I prefer Solandres, Sir."
Smith just gave a wise smile, then he continued his speech,
"Solandres, just let me get to the point. You will work with this guy beside you from now on. You two are considered as partners."
Before i looked at the guy who was gonna be my partner, i refused and said,
"General, did you remember that i always work alone? I don't accept partners and I.."
Smith cut my speech,
"Solandres, having a partner is a must in our organization. Even Michelle, your former room mate, already has a partner too."
"You mean Max? Of course, Sir. Michelle and Max are great as a partner. But me, Sir. I don't get well with partners, I.."
"Solandres ! Why don't you just intoduce yourself to your new partner?!"
Smith was nearly angry when i kept refusing for a partner. I finally looked to my right and saw the newbie who as at the hall just then.
"Hi, I'm Kim Jong Hyun, you can call me Jong Hyun."
I startled and unconciously adored his eyes. As i thought, his face was too cute for an agent. His eyes showed something that makes me.. amazed. Overall, he looks pretty to me.
But i kept showing the 'stay cool' act. When he strecthed his hands, i held it firmly and we shaked hands. He was wearing short sleeved shirt so i can see his muscles as he grabbed my hand. Quite strong for a cute guy.
"Solandres. Isabelle Solandres.", I spoke my name in doubt, hoping he will not tease me with that freaking Italianish name that Smith gave to me.
I can see that his eyebrows rised a bit, then he said
"Isabelle? What a beautiful name.."
I can see Smith smiling unreasonably, somewhat like teasing me. I just gave a sharp look to Jong Hyun, then i made a forced smile.
"One more thing, Solandres. You have to share your room with him."
Smith's voice kinda scared me.
"What?! I mean, Sir.. I don't think it's a good idea for me sharing my room with..", I looked at him and he just gave an innocent look, "... him."
Smith just smiled.
~~~~~
"So how did you end up being an agent here? Where do you come from?"
My new partner kept asking me questions, but i wasn't annoyed at all.
"I.. signed up myself to this organization. And from where i come from, i'm afraid i can't tell you specificly. I'm actually Asian, like you."
Jong Hyun made this wow face, like he was amazed or something.
"You're Asian, but your eyes..." he hung up his speech.
I looked to the mirror beside my bed, then i answered,
"This?" I pointed to my eyes, "..it's blue because i actually had an surgical operation for my eyes. My eyes once suffered from miopi. I knew i couldn't get into any organization with bad eyes like mine. So i had the surgery. I don't know why my eyes then changed to blue. The doctor said it was an effect from the surgery. And until now I still can't believe it."
I stared at my own eyes in the mirror, Jong Hyun just smiled.
"It's.. beautiful." he said.
"I'm sorry, i don't like that word." I said, spontaneously.
Jong Hyun's face suddenly went guilty, "Aish~ mianhae.."
I made a frown, "Mi..anhae?"
"It means 'I'm Sorry' in Korean.."
I just made an 'oh' face and get tidy of my stuff.
"You said you're abilities in shooting are like.. awesome?"
Jong Hyun scratched his head shyly. He just nod.
"Well.. let's give it a try."
I walked to the door and gave a sign for him to follow me.
We went to the practice room, i led him to the shooting section. And yes, his shooting skills were fabulous. It's so hard to believe that, a pretty looking guy at him has an ability that even normal agents don't have. Impressive.
~~~~~
"So this Jong Hyun, really has skills for aiming and shooting?"
Michelle kept asking me about my new partner. I just nod to every single question she asked.
Michelle is my best friend, she's 3 years old younger than me. She listens to everything i say. I consider her as my little sister, she even taught me how to write a diary.. which i haven't tried yet cause i hate being girly.
Michelle belongs to the same country as me. She signed up as an agent, cause she was looking for me when i ran out from my country. I had this.. simple but major problem that made me feel insane so i had to get my shooting skills out. That's why i had enough guts to sign in here, in SIO. We are the only two women agents in SIO, oh and also Smith's wife, Georgia. She's like a senior agent to us.
I was shocked when i saw Michelle as a newbie. And i was amazed when i found out she had almost the same skills as me, except, she runs faster. I was almost eliminated when Smith found out that i had asthma, but I insisted and showed the best of my shooting skills. I was labelled as the greatest shooter in SIO, thanks to the surgery. Until this Jong Hyun came..
"Belle~ ! Isabelle !"
Michelle popped into my thoughts,
"Why do you keep calling me with that Italian name?", I asked.
"Because it suits you much, hahahaha~", Michelle burst out laughing. I rolled my eyes.
Smith also gave Michelle her name. I don't know, it's like Smith has this weird obsession of naming girls with Italian name. I don't even know whether it is Italian or Spanish or.. forget it.
Suddenly i saw three guys walking towards our table. They were bringing their lunch tray with them, and it seems like they want to join my table and Michelle.
"Yo, Isabelle~ !" waved Peter.
"Solandres !", I shouted at him, the other two guys laughed.
"May i join you guys?" asked Jong Hyun, politely. I was about to answer when Michelle spoke first, "Oh, of course ! Take a seat.". Michelle pointed to the empty chair beside me.
Max sat beside Michelle, and Peter sat beside Max. We had a great lunch while Jong Hyun was telling much about himself. And I.. felt something frizzy about him.
~~~~~
It was our first mafia trial. All the named agents were called to assemble at the field. We were about to start a simulation of taking down a world class group of mafias. For Jong Hyun, this was his first trial.
"So, since we're partners, what do we have to do?" he asked.
I walked fastly heading to the gun station, he was following me on my back.
"What do you think?" i asked back.
"Protect each other?" he asked again. I stopped and turned around. He made a scared face like as if i was going to hit him, then i said..
"There. You know it already. Come on let's load our guns."
knew Jong Hyun was smiling behind my back.
The simulation started. We were divided into teams, each contains 4 agents. My team was Max, Michelle, Jong Hyun and me. Michelle and Max are like.. inseparable. Max is from Korea too, so he mingled well with Jong Hyun. And Michelle, she just has this feelings for Korean guys. That's why she made a great partner for Max. Oh and i was wondering when will Jong Hyun have his western name. Or Italian?
We decided to divide our group again into two parts. I went with Jong Hyun, well, he's my partner afterall. We were able to take down a few enemies. The bullet was made of paintball, as usual. In the simulation, it seems that i dominated it. Jong Hyun was more like just following me. I felt a little arogant and had y pride at the top when suddenly Jong Hyun dragged me back and pushed me to wall. I was about to freak out but he covered my mouth. We both kept still for a few second when finally Jong Hyun looked out from the wall and shoot 3 or 4 enemies with one hand, his right hand was still covering my mouth. It was cool, honestly.
at the end of the simulation, we all gathered and had a review.
"You shouldn't have pushed me back to the wall like that." i said to Jong Hyun.
"are you crazy? you could have been shot down if i didn't pull you back." he said.
"But covering my mouth?"
"Because you were gonna freak out~ ! I knew it, Isabelle, don't lie."
"Solandres~ !"
I still felt uncomfy if there was any other person who calls me Isabelle, except Michelle and Peter. But Jong Hyun kept insisting calling me Isabelle.
"It's my mouth and it's me who decides what to call you. You're my partner afterall."
~~~~~
5 months went by. My partnership with Jong Hyun became more solid in many ways. Loyalty, trustworthy, solidarity, everything. Oh, and Smith gave Jong Hyun a western name : John. It makes me wanna laugh everytime i hear it, so i kept calling him Jong Hyun, while he kept calling me Isabelle. I found out almost everything about him, his life stories, his families, his country. But unfortunately, i wasn't willing to tell my story. I just told him that my story wasn't as interesting as his. Lucky he didn't forced me to tell it.
And in the last 2 months, i felt something different.
~~~~~
"All agents should assemble at the entrance hall immediatly. Repeat, all agents must assemble at the entrance hall immediatly, this is not a simulation, i repeat, NOT A SIMULATION~"
The voice from the speaker shocked me. I was cleaning my AK-47 and Jong Hyun was playing with his when we both heard it. I gave him an almost scared look, and we both put on our suits. I finished first, i put on my bulletproof-ed vest and ran to the door, i told Jong Hyun to catch up.
We all gathered at the entrance hall. I saw dozens of black trucks, two black jets and one black toyota camry. Michelle, Peter and Max were there too. We were given instructions that we were about to take down a group of world class mafia, just like our simulation before. The location was actually abroad, so the dozenz of trucks will be shifted to SIO's secret jets, and will be dropped at the mafia's country.
I haven't took down a group of mafias before. The hardest situation i got was when SIO had to evacuate victims from a robbery, a huge robbery in a bank. I took down 2 bad guys and since then i was given a reward for the best sniper/shooter. But this? Mafia? I don't know, i just get the nerves. When i was trying my best to hide my body from shaking, Jong Hyun who was beside me, suddenly reached for my hands and held it so firmly. His hands were warm.
"We're gonna do this awesomely. You, me. The best snipers. Come on get rid of your nerves."
I didn't look at him. I just kept listening to his voice. Every word he says, seem to make me feel more calm. I let my hands in his until our boss told us to get into each our trucks. I let go of him but he still walked beside me. Smith suddenly stopped and stood in our way, he said that Jong Hyun and I were supposed to get into the private jet. The two black ones that i saw. Smith said the jets were for the best agents. I thanked him and gave him a quick hug, so did Jong Hyun. Then we hopped on to SIO's special secret jet.
In the jet, no one was talking. Even Jong Hyun didn't say a word. I bet he was nervous to, but he was able to hide it. The pilot, co pilot, and 3 other agents discussed about our mission. Jong Hyun and I blend in to the discussion, we were given code names. Jong Hyun was agent 8 and i was agent 13. Our flight was short, the jet was extremely fast. We have arrived to the mafia's nest.
Agent 1, who was the leader of my team, split our team into a few parts again, i was with Jong Hyun (again). We were situated in an empty but wide building, seems like an empty factory. Smith assumed that this empty factory was the mafia's basecamp. We began to sneak inside.
Michelle, Max, and Peter were the outring team, they were the ones who have to guard outside tha factory. I met Michelle and she wasn't wearing any bulletproof vest. I gave mine to her, hoping that i will be fine. Jong Hyun didn't allowed me at the first time, but then he let me. I don't know why.
Our mission went fast, i could hardly remember anything, the mafias popped out from nowhere and it started a gun fight with our agents. I split up with Jong Hyun for a while and i was on my own. I took down like.. 4 to 5 guys while hiding behind these big drums of oil. It was empty, actually. The room was dark, because we attacked at dawn. I was sneaking quickly when i bumped into someone, i reached for my gun and put it on his head when he actually spoke and said..
"Sssht~ Isabelle, it's me."
Jong Hyun nearly scared the hell out of me. He put his point finger in front of his mouth, signaling me to be quiet. We sneaked as quiet as we can, while giving codes to other agents near us. Suddenly this one freaky mafia popped out and shoot everywhere furiously. Agent 1 had to come out and handle that freaky guy. I couldn't just stand there and watch, i ran towards agent 1 and helped him shoot the guy. Jong Hyun followed me behind and covered my back.
Jong Hyun, agent 1 and me shoot every mafia who was coming near and threatening. I remember this scene where Jong Hyun was surrounded by three mafias, agent 1 slide to Jong Hyun's leg and shoot the mafia on Jong Hyun's left, while i did an unexpected kartwheel, kicked the mafia on Jong Hyun's right and shot him, and Jong Hyun simply shot the guy in front of him, then the three of us said, "Damn, we're good~"
As we thought that our room was clear, agent 1 told us to move on. He walked in front of us and I just followed him. Jong Hyun was busy taking care of his gun when suddenly i heard a big bang behind me. I turned my back.
Then i saw Jong Hyun falling to the floor.
I ran to him and held him so he didn't hit the floor, my left hand was holding his head while my right hand was around his waist. I felt something wet. i lifted my right hand and even though it's dark, i could see that my hand was covered in blood. Jong Hyun's blood.
"oh.. shit.. Jong Hyun~ ! Jong Hyun are you okay?"
Jong Hyun didn't answer me, he grinned in pain.
"Jong Hyun, answer me !"
I moved my hands around his body, and i realized that he wasn't wearing his bulletproof vest.
I turned angry, "Where the hell is your vest?"
"I.. I left it.. i couldn't find it when we were.. about to.. assemble.."
Jong Hyun was breathing hardly, he was panting. Blood kept running from his waist.
I started to feel that my eyes were wet. No, I'm not crying.
"Jong Hyun stay with me okay. We've done great, we're awesome, come on get up!"
Jong Hyun still grinned in pain, i couldn't bear seeing him like that.
Then, he lifted his left hand very weakly. He caressed my cheek and i could tell that my cheek was instantly covered with his blood. I didn't care.
"Isabelle, or.. whoever your real name is.. when.. if i'm.. not able to make this out.. i just want you to know.. that.."
My eyes were getting more wet, "Shut up~ ! Don't say a thing, because if you do.."
"Sssht.." Jong Hyun put his finger on my lips, "Let me finish.. my.. sentence.."
At that exact time, i felt tears running down my face. It was my first time to cry ever since i entered SIO. Jong Hyun looked at me deep in my eyes,
"Belle~.. You are the greatest sniper that i have known.. you are my influence for being confident.. in.. every.. simulation.."
Jong Hyun's voice became more weak. My tears fell down so fast.
"The.. last.. 5.. months.. have been special to me coz.."
I moved my right hand from his waist to his cheek. I held it just the exact way he held mine. Then he said this sentence that i clearly don't understand, but deep inside i know the meaning.
"Isabelle.. sarang~hae.."
I could feel that his hands on my cheek slowly dropped. His eyes which was looking deep into mine slowly closed. I screamed out.
"No~ ! NO.. Jong Hyun you can't leave me like this, Jong Hyun wake up! Jong Hyun!"
I shaked his body with my hands, which was useless because he didn't move at all. Then i heard steps running towards me. Agent 1 and his partner saw me and gave a code to other agents.
"Sector 3 this is agent 1. Man down, i repeat man down on sector 3."
My tears kept falling on Jong Hyun's face, i kept shouting at him to wake up.
"Agent 13, we have to move." said Agent 1 to me.
"Can't you see that my partner is down?!" I almost shrieked at him when i was saying that.
Agent 1 came near me and pulled my arm, i refused and kept helding Jong Hyun in my arms. Suddenly agent 1 shouted watch out and i heard another big bang, this time it sounds like two guns being shot at the same time.
I saw this other mafia guy falling down to the floor on my right. Agent 1 shot him. But i felt pain too. Held my upper waist and found blood running out of it. Agent 1 was still covering me and Jong Hyun from other mafias. I felt dizzy. I felt weak. And that time i found out that.. my past 5 months was so precious. I let go of Jong Hyun slowly.

I found out that.. he was my life. He was the best thing that happened to my life. He was my everything. And i would do anything to meet him again.
I caressed his cheek with all the strength that i have, i was laying on the floor next to him, his face was in front of mine. Then i whispered..
"Jong Hyun.. saranghae, mianhae.."
My visions went blur. I could see agent 1 running back to me but then..
It all went black.

I cried so badly with Max by my side. As well as Peter, and 4 Korean guys who were Jong Hyun's best friends. Those korean guys all had red eyes, it seems that they are trying to hide their tears.
