"Are you done? Can I open my eyes now?" Lina's eyes were still closed and she couldn't hold her curiosity anymore. So she asked Dae Ju but she had no idea what Dae Ju was doing. When she moved Dae Ju came back to reality and pull himself back. He moved backward as soon as possible and said,
"Oh, yes! You can open your eyes!" he was breathing heavily. Seems like he saw a ghost or something. Lina takes a look at the so-called mirror. It was looking beautiful. She likes the necklace and holds it lightly. She couldn't imagine that he would give her any gift.
"It's beautiful!" Lina said slowly. She was too into her thoughts that she didn't notice Dae Ju was sitting on the floor with a scarred face. When she finished realizing the beauty of it she turned back to thank him but she was surprised by seeing him like that.
"Why are you sitting like that?" she asked surprisingly.
"Ah! I just fell!" Dae Ju smiled awkwardly.
"Did you get hurt? Are you okay?" saying this she gets up and walked to Dae Ju.
"No!" Dae Ju shouted.
"What?" Lina was surprised and stopped.
"Are you really okay?" Lina asked again and she extended her hand to him.
"Oh, yes! I am okay." he stood up on his own and tried to look at her but he couldn't look at her face.
"By the way, thank you! It's really pretty!" Smilingly said Lina.
"Oh, I just pick it up on my way home." he acted cold.
"But it means a lot to me! Thank you!" She smiled again and came to him again.
"No! Stay away! Why you are coming close?" he shouted again.
"What?" Lina couldn't understand what was going on so she looked at him with her big and questionable eyes. Actually, Dae Ju was feeling weird and as he realized what he was going to say a while ago he wanted to hold himself back and that's why he was acting weird. He doesn't want to look at her right then and stay away from her. He was not an alcoholic but he has a feeling the same but a little different way.
"Okay, I won't! I will just go back to my work!" saying this she went more closer to him.
"Hey! Go away!" shouted Dae Ju and moved aside.
"You are blocking the entrance!" saying this she went outside while crossing him. When she left, he sat down on the bed. He was thinking about himself. What was he doing? He never wanted it that way! Why his mind got blanked when he stays around her? Is there any solution to it? He just needs to go back, nothing else! Then why he felt like his heart fluttering when she came to him? He couldn't think more. He planned something else. It happened something else. Indeed, life doesn't go always according to man's plan but why it's so different for him? Yes, he gained everything that he wanted but why destiny snatched everything from him and now it's showing a totally different path?
"No! It can't happen? Did I really love her? No way! It's can't be true! I can never admit it! It's not true!" he said in his mind. But he forgot that he is a human too and he can love someone. He admits that he will never fall for any other in the rest of his life. But destiny has a different plan for him. And he has to walk in that path which destiny has been chosen for him. His heart was still beating fast. He got fully wet by his sweat. He stood up and won't to the window. He opened the window and let the cold wind come into the room. He wanted to divert his mind to something else but he couldn't. He watched the scenery of the new and beautiful alley but he failed to divert his mind on it. He doesn't feel good. It's almost 10.30 pm and he planned to go to their concert which will begin after half and an hour. But now, he feels confused if he should go there or not. He wanted to see his brothers' face as he missed them too much. But now he has a different thought. His heart was still fluttering and he was thinking what he should do now.
"Stop it, please! You will kill me one day! Ah, seriously! Will you stop or I will seriously stab you!" he was talking with himself angrily.
"Okay, I should go to the concert. Maybe it could be relaxing for me!" he said to himself and move aside. He pulled off his wearing clothes and put the new clothes on. He gets ready to go outside. When he comes down, he saw Lina was singing with her tiny voice. Though she was singing Dae Ju's song, it was listening like a very sweet song that he never listened to before. She finished decorating the cake and now she was cleaning the table while singing. Seems like she was very happy. Seeing her like that Dae Ju smiled and kept watching her from far. After about five minutes, she finished cleaning and came out for some reason.
"Oh, you are going somewhere?" she noticed him with heavy and new clothes and asked. He looked at the floor and clearing his throat, he answered,
"Hmm," he answered coldly.
"Where are you going?" she asked cutely.
"Do I must answer you?" he asked coldly again.
"No! but, You said that we should share everything so I thought..." she was looking cute but gorgeous together.
"Then, I am leaving." he almost went to the door but something stopped him.
"I wanted to say you that I....I....." she stopped while faltering.
"What?" he stopped and asked.
"I wanted to go to the concert of "Savage boys" as I got tickets," she answered.
"No!" listening to her he shouted.
"Yes?" Lina asked as she was confused about his reply.
"I mean, I was going to "Extreme's" concert so if you want to go then hurry up!" he replied coldly but he couldn't continue his acting seeing her cuteness.
"Oh! Really? Ah! How could this happen? Are you serious? I mean...." she was so surprised but happy that she couldn't expose her feelings.
"Yes, really! Now hurry up!" he said with a loud voice.
"Then, just wait a minute!" she was too cute when she was saying that.
"No! Don't be that cute! Just go from here!" he said in his mind.
"Listen, I pick up some warm clothes for you on my way home. Take a look at them and wear some from them." Lina was about to leave but she stopped when Dae Ju says her that.
"Okay, and thank you!" she said with her that beautiful but cute smile.
"Aish! I will really go crazy!" he was talking with himself. After a few minutes, Lina came down. Though she was fully covered with clothes, she was looking amazing. Her hair was also wrapped with a scarf but it suits her perfectly. And the white-colored overcoat was looking nice on her. Dae Ju wanted to look at her all day but he controlled himself and opening the door he said,
"Let's go." It's been a long since they went outside together so she was happy. She was so happy that words are not enough to describe her happiness. Within fifteen minutes, they reached their destination.
The hall was full of audiences and there was a triumph of his team everywhere. They all were shouting by all off their name. When he heard his own name, he felt relaxed and thought, they haven't forgotten him yet. He never came to any concert as an audience. He always came to perform and if sometimes he couldn't perform, he watched his team from behind the stage. As it's his first time visiting a live concert as a fan, it was looking different. It was a huge place but there were so many people that he barely got spaces to stand. The stage was beautiful but it was looking smaller than before. Many cameras and many guards were there to film and protect their artists but nobody was there to give protection to the general people. There were too many noises because their artists haven't come to the stage yet. They were busy doing makeup backstage. Dae Ju remembered the day when he used to perform on the stage. When he had been changing and doing makeup, he could hear the same noise but the sound was never heard that loud. When the right time came, all of the members start coming one by one. The hall was full of chaos of clapping and they all were shouting by their name again. Dae Ju always watched the audience from the stage and felt the energy of having so much fan. But today when he couldn't able to see his brothers properly, he thought why they have so many fans? He couldn't even move properly. He was annoyed with the crazy fans. Suddenly someone grabbed his wrist and he got afraid. But when he noticed it was Lina he was relieved. Lina pulled him with her. Seems like she wants to go in the first row though it was impossible.
"Excuse me! Excuse me!" saying this she was moving forward. Dae Ju was surprised how she was moving frontward by staying in the middle of this huge crowd. He was surprised and looked at her. Though he was hit by many people accidentally he felt like no one was there except for Lina. They reached on the first row and from there Dae Ju could see his brothers faces clearly. It's almost two months since he couldn't see their faces but now he feels like it's been two decades since he couldn't see his lovely brothers. He wanted to go to the stage and hug all of them but he knows very well that he can't do that. He filled his mind with happiness just by seeing them.
First of all, they were introducing themselves then all of them give a short speech one by one. And Dae Ju becomes emotional when all of them mentioned his name. They all get emotional while talking about him. They told the audience to pray for him so that he can come back very soon.
"I want that too," said Dae Ju while trying to control his tears. They all were looking beautiful and cool in a different way. Though they are very mischievous they were calm today.
"They must quarrel with each other!" he thought. He knows the songs which they were performing very well. So he started singing with them. But his voice didn't reach them because of too much chaos. They greetings a happy new year to every fan and wished them a very lucky year though they know that it's impossible to know what destiny wants.
When they were about to leave the stage, An unexpected thing happened. Some crazy fans wanted to meet with them personally and so they were coming by moving other people. But there were too many audiences that they couldn't handle themselves and there was a messy situation. Everyone got hit with others. Dae Ju never got in such a situation. He felt like many peoples are attacking him from behind and they will crush him under their feet. He got hit by many people. He couldn't imagine such a thing will happen. When he was trying to control himself and get out from the crowd, he forgot that there was one more person who needs his help. He noticed on the stage and see someone was coming to them. When he takes a look carefully, he saw Tae Ri. He was coming to him. He thought Tae Ri recognize him so he became happy but it was totally different case. He came to him and seeing him coming, everyone left their path for him as he was the king. He crossed him and went to Lina. She was falling on the ground and Tae Ri comes to save her. He noticed her from far and come to help her. Dae Ju noticed Lina now and saw that her forehead was bleeding. Her face was full of tension and she got scared too. When everyone gives their idol blank space, Dae Ju finds his way to go to Lina. Until then, Tae Ri came to her and kneel before her. He extended his hand to Lina and she grabbed his hand and both of them stood up.
