hehe JW is very mischevious here, if i was SO i would send him to his room for simply pissing me off.. cant wait to see what they are planning, poor Ong See, the interesting thing here is Ong is still trying to not show that it matters. It's plainly on his face but he's still trying to hold it in. some of you would prob think that Ong would have gone mad by now like explode in JW's face but to him, he can't do that, has no reason to do so either. yea, that's what makes it cute because you get one giant doing all the poking and while the other one would like to stomp on him, he can't. i think it's absolutely hilarious. since i'm almost writing in real time as in i'm writing as this goes, I remembered how Ong's face was really grumpy when he tweeted the pic yesterday. it's so cute and appropriate!

21 December 2010 D-4 (Part 1)
Seul Ong woke up slowly from his sleep.
That was a strange dream. Why did I dream of Kwon and MiSun noona?
It was scary to him because he had a similar dream before but the other people in it were Jin Woon, Jung Min hyung and Na Young noona.
And that dream came true in more ways than one. He could still remember that dream quite clearly.
“So, Seul Ong and Jin Woon, who would you like to do a duet with if you were ever given a chance to?”
That question came from nowhere. MiSun noona must have seen our envious looks during the recording. It was after our studio recording for WGM and we just watched Kwon’s Music Core stage with Ga-In for ‘We Fell in Love’. Everyone in the studio loved their performance and both Jin Woon and I looked really jealous.
We were, because it’s so nice to watch two people in love with each other singing a duet. It just feels different.
“Me? I think I would love to do a duet with IU. I have worked with her before on a few duet stages and I really like her voice.”
It was true. We have done a few duet stages before, singing other singers’ duet. But it was my secret wish to have a song of our own. Ever since being on WGM and seeing Kwon and Ga-In get closer, it makes me want MORE as well. And I can’t shake off the image of you being the one by my side.
“Oh~ Nice! IU’s voice is totally daebak! And she is so pretty!!”
Jung Min hyung added. Even though I was smiling, inside me, I was feeling a little upset.
Why is it that others can say that you are pretty so easily when I can’t? Have the image of an idol taken away my freedom to say that? Or is it because I’m afraid of revealing just how pretty you are to me?
I have seen the foolish look on Kwon’s face when he’s thinking of Ga-In. Do I look the same way when I think of you.
“Me too! I want to do a duet with IU too! She’s one of the few female singers who can call me ‘oppa’! And compared to some of the other younger girls, I really like how she does that. And her eyes are always so bright and her smile…melts my heart everytime.”
“Ooooo, our makmae has changed target? I thought you always like Seo Hyun?”
NaYoung noona teased Jin Woon.
“Noona, that’s in the past. IU is my new favourite!!”
“Aigoo~ That’s what young boys are like, changing their minds ever so often. You should learn from your Seul Ong hyung, staying true to his ideal, Shin Min-Ah for 10 years.”
“Noona, that’s adoration, not love. It’s all nice but it won’t come true, right hyung? On the other hand, IU~~ hmmmm~”
“Ya! What do you mean it won’t come true?! And what are you doing, ooo-ing and ah-ing about IU? Isn’t she a little too young, even for you?”
“Hyung, I’m only 20 years old, just 2 years older than she is, how is that too young for me? I think it’s just the right age. The next time I see her, I’d be sure to ask her to take a photo with me so I can use it as the wallpaper for my handphone! And I MUST remember to get her number as well!! When are we meeting her to practice for Chocolate? Is it tomorrow? Can’t wait can’t wait!”
A few weeks after that dream, Seul Ong received a call from his manager telling him that he was going to be recording a duet with a female singer. When he asked his manager who was his partner and when he heard that it was IU, it was with some measure of wonderment.
My dream, it came true.
Then he remembered that Jin Woon’s wish in his dream was also about to come true. That made him frown and close his eyes because he couldn’t stand the fact that she was going to be standing beside someone else, another man, even if it’s Jin Woon.
“Oh~ Ji-Eun-ah, I’d see you later then. Should I get lunch for you since you’d be coming straight from filming? No, it’s no bother. What do you want to eat…”
ARGH!! That boy! Doesn’t he know that I’m irritated with the fact that he gets to sing with MY Ji-Eun? Why is he parading that fact again and again in front of me?
No, Im Seul Ong, he doesn’t know that you are irritated because you have not been truthful about how you feel about it!
That’s true too. Seul Ong realized that even though he had raised objections to him singing Nagging with IU, he didn’t really give them a reason. Neither did he say anything when Jin Woon said he was going to get her a present.
“Appa~ Are you awake?! I’m hungry!! FEED ME!!”
Jin Woon walked into Seul Ong’s room with Sae-Byukie and said in his most cutesy voice.
Seul Ong did bring Sae-Byukie over yesterday and the boys had fun playing with the little cutie last night. Strangely, instead of wanting to sleep with Seul Ong, Sae-Byukie seems more attached to Jin Woon instead so it ended sleeping with Jin Woon.
When Sae-Byukie saw Seul Ong, he quickly ran to him and licked his face.
“Aigoo~ You only want me when you’re hungry! You should ask your Uncle Jin Woon to feed you since you love him more than you love me!”
But he still got up from his bed and carried the excited puppy to the kitchen and put out some food for him.
“Speaking of which, Jin Woon, why are you up so early? It’s not like you to give up sleep when there’s no schedule. Where’s Kwon?”
“He’s still preparing but he’s going to leave for the special stage practice with Chang Min hyung soon. Sae-Byukie, are you ready to see all the pretty noonas today?”
The puppy heard Jin Woon’s voice, looked up and gave a yelp before turning back to his food.
“I’d better go prepare his stuff since Kwon is going to bring him to the studio now.”
“Oh, I’d bring Sae-Byukie over later. I’m going to leave soon too. Kwonnie hyung doesn’t want Sae-Byukie to distract the BEG noonas from practicing first. You know how Ga-In noona is when she sees Sae-Byukie. Since I’m going to go and pick up the dress that I have bought for Ji-Eun, I volunteered to bring the little imp over later.”
“You really bought her the dress? That wasn’t cheap, was it?”
“Well, it’s Christmas and she’s going to be my partner, it’s only right for me to give her something in return. She called me just now and she sounded excited about our special stage. Can’t believe that I’d get to sing with her! Maybe I’d pick up some accessories for her as well. Oh~ She’s going to look like a princess~ And for those 3 days, she’d MY princess~ Can’t wait!”
Jin Woon walked away then since he heard Chang Min calling him. But he had to too because Seul Ong was going to hit him when he called IU his princess.
Seul Ong hyung, you are so easy to tease when it comes to Ji-Eun! If I had known, I should have done it more often in the past.
Seul Ong had to swallow the words that threatened to come out of his mouth during Jin Woon’s speech.
How dare you call her YOUR princess?! She’s MINE, MINE!!
Knowing that he could never say that out loud made his heart ache.
But why? Why can’t you say that she’s YOURS? Don’t you want her to be yours?
His heart asked the question that he didn’t have the answer to.
Just then his phone vibrated in his pocket. He took out the phone and saw that it was a message from the girl who’s torturing his mind.
“Seul Ong oppa~ Do you know that I’m going to be the guest at your concert? I can’t believe I’m going to be performing with Jin Woon oppa! Would you be at the practice later? See you later then!”
“Oh IU, I know that you are going to be our guest. Thank you. I won’t be at the practice later until about 5pm. Practice well with Jin Woon.”
He pressed ‘Send’ before he realized how cold he sounded. He had stopped calling her IU after they worked on Nagging together.
Good one, Im Seul Ong, now you don’t have to wonder why she doesn’t look at you anymore. If that is not an obvious “stay away from me”, I don’t know what is.
He was going to send her another message when another message came in. It was from IU.
“Alright, Seul Ong-ssi, I will practice well. See you at the concert then.”
You totally deserved that. Serve you right!
He picked up his phone and wanted to call IU.
But what are you going to say to her?
Nothing.
I can’t even apologise because I won’t know how to explain what I did wrong.
Ji-Eun-ah, sorry.
On the other side, IU was having breakfast when she decided to send Seul Ong a message. When she saw that the usual ‘Ji-Eun-ah’ being replaced by ‘IU’, the pain caused by the squeeze in her heart was unbearable. Tears once again slid down her cheeks. She quickly took a deep breath and got up from the table. She excused herself and went outside where the cold stung her cheeks. She decided to send him a reply before she gave in to her tears.
Typing shakily, adding the unfamiliar and formal address to his name, she replied quickly. She was going to avoid him at all cost today. So, hopefully, the practice with Jin Woon oppa would go well so she could leave before he arrives.
When her phone remained silent, she forced herself to stop crying.
Lee Ji-Eun, don’t cry… You should know there was nothing there. You must have imagined his quicken heartbeat during that hug last week.
It didn’t mean a thing. It didn’t mean a thing. It didn’t mean a thing.
There, I have said it 3 times so it’s true.
Right?
Then why am I hurting so much?
Because it meant something to you.
That voice brought back the tears that had already stopped. I was really surprised by the hug. It was good that I had finished singing my part. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to continue singing. In fact, my heart started racing when we faced each other, in anticipation of you coming nearer.
You were supposed to move away. Why did you come closer?! Why did you hug me?
WHY?
I was able to hold back before. But after that day, I can’t anymore. Much as I do not want to admit it, I think I have fallen in love with you.
What do I do now? I’m not even a younger sister you cherished anymore. I’m just IU, a fellow singer. Is that it?
“Ji-Eun ah, are you alright? Why did you come out here? It’s cold.”
It was Ga-Hee unnie. I quickly wiped my tears and pray that my eyes weren’t red. I took a deep breath and turned around with my smile already in place.
“Unnie~ I’m alright. Just wanted to feel the chill and see the snow. It’s beautiful, isn’t it?”
“Why are you eyes so red? Were you crying? What happened?”
Ga-Hee went closer to IU and hugged her.
“It’s nothing, unnie, really. Thank you. Let’s go back inside before they start looking for us.”
“Oh, actually we can leave already. The PD asked me to come and tell you that.”
“It’s too early for me to go…”
“Where are you going?”
“I’m going to meet Jin Woon oppa to practice for our special stage at 2AM’s concert. I’m their guest performer.”
“Ah.. I see. What time were you supposed to meet him?”
“1pm. It’s only 10am now. What should I do?”
“Ji-Eun ah, are you going to meet Jin Woon later?”
Both Ga-Hee and IU turned to see Nicole walking up to them.
“Yes, I’m just wondering what to do with myself before 1pm.”
“Let’s just go and meet him now! He just messaged me saying that he’s on his way to the practice studio with Seul Ong oppa’s puppy. Let’s go and see that cutie!!”
“Oh! I have seen pictures of that puppy! Total cutie!! Just like its owner!”
“Ga-Hee unnie!!!”
“But it’s true. Im Seul Ong is a cutie! What am I supposed to say? He’s ugly?”
“Nicole unnie, are you coming with me?”
“Yes! Jung Jin Woon owes me a meal! So, let’s go to the practice studio, greet the other 2AM members and I heard the BEG unnies are there too! We’ll play with the cutie puppy then make Jin Woon buy us a meal! Let’s go!”
“Sounds like a lot of fun! You girls have fun! I have to go back and catch up on my beauty sleep before my recording for tonight. See you next week! Merry Christmas!!!”
Ga-Hee walked off, leaving the two girls. Nicole grabbed hold of IU’s arms and pull her inside to get her bags. After packing and saying goodbye to the other cast members, the two of them set off for Big Hit. Nicole sent a message to Jin Woon to tell him that they were on their way. She also asked if Seul Ong would be there. Jin Woon replied saying that Seul Ong has a photo shoot so he wasn’t at the practice studio.
All the while, IU just stared out of the window. Her mind kept going back to the message that Seul Ong sent to her an hour ago.
I have to stop thinking about it. Otherwise I’d start crying again. Lee Ji-Eun! FOCUS! This concert is very important to all the 2AM oppas, so I cannot make any mistakes.
Nicole was observing IU and she sensed that something was wrong. IU was giving off ‘sad’ vibes.
Did something happen? She wasn’t like that before breakfast. She sounded excited when she was talking to Jin Woon just now. But just now, after receiving a message, she just got up and left the dining area.
She messaged Jin Woon again, asking him if anything strange happened on his side. He told her that the only strange thing he saw before he left their dorm was Seul Ong hyung staring at his phone looking like he just did something wrong. Nicole told him that IU was behaving really strangely and wondered if anything happened between the two of them. They finally decide that they would observe them later.
After 30 minutes, they finally arrived at Big Hit Entertainment. They got down and quickly made their way into the building. But just as they were about to enter, Seul Ong came out of the building. He was called to go to the office to try on the new outfits for their concert before he goes for the photo shoot.
“Oh! It’s Seul Ong oppa!! Seul Ong oppa!!”
Nicole shouted and Seul Ong turned.
“Nicole! What are you doing here? IU too? You are here early!”
“Jung Jin Woon owes me a meal, so I’m here to make him buy me lunch. Since Ji-Eun was going to be his partner for the special stage, we came together. Oppa, where are you going now?”
“I’m going for my photo shoot now.”
Seul Ong looked over to where IU was standing. Throughout the entire conversation, she had not said a single word to him. Belatedly he realized that he called her ‘IU’ in front of Nicole. He could have slapped himself then.
“Nicole unnie, let’s go inside. It’s getting cold.”
Without waiting for an answer from Nicole or Seul Ong, IU turned and went into the building. Nicole was shocked because IU just totally ignored Seul Ong. She turned to look at Seul Ong and saw that he was frowning but his eyes were following IU into the building.
What exactly happened there?
Nicole wondered to herself.
“Nicole ah, I’m going off. Would you be around for the whole afternoon?”
“No, I’m just going to have lunch with Jin Woon and Ji-Eun, then I have to head back to practice. Oppa, did something happen between you and Ji-Eun?”
Seul Ong just smiled and waved goodbye. But every step he took, he could feel the distance between him and IU widening.
Maybe it’s for the better. Maintaining some distance between us is good. Otherwise, I won’t be able to bear it when I see her on stage with Jin Woon.
Yet the image of her walking away from him haunted him. Nicole ran into the building to catch up with IU. But the moment she got into the practice studio and greeted everyone, she dragged Jin Woon out.
Nicole told him everything that just happened outside the building and asked why did he lie about Seul Ong not being in the building. Jin Woon pleaded innocent and told her that he really didn’t know Seul Ong was there as well. Then he got to the matter at hand.
“You said that Ji-Eun just walked into the building without saying anything to Seul Ong hyung? How is that possible? She’s usually quite chatty around him. And Seul Ong hyung didn’t talk to her at all?”
“When he first saw us, he was shocked. Then he… Ah! I think I know what is the problem!! Seul Ong oppa called Ji-Eun ‘IU’!!”
“What’s the problem with calling her I…Ahhhh… Seul Ong hyung! Aigoo, seriously!! What was he thinking?! And Ji-Eun got angry because of that? Doesn’t that tell him something?! I hope it got through to his thick skull that if Ji-Eun was upset by what he calls her, it means that he meant a whole lot more to her than just as an elder brother.”
“I don’t think it’s that simple. I told you she was already behaving out of sorts at the filming location after she received a message. I wonder who sent her the message…”
“There’s only one way to find out…”
Nicole looked at Jin Woon, waiting for him to tell her his idea. When he just continued to look at her, she got impatient and was about to hit him when she realized what Jin Woon was suggesting: She was to ‘borrow’ IU’s phone and check it.
“You must be joking! How can I do that?”
“You have a better excuse. Just tell her that you forgot to charge your phone and it was urgent. Just borrow her phone and then check who sent the message and the content. It’d be good to see what her reply to that message was too.”
“Jung Jin Woon, you are scary… Remind me never to offend you.”
“Let’s go in now and put our plan into action! I’m going to take photos of Ji-Eun with Sae-Byukie and then upload them to my mini-hompy. Of course I’d make sure only Seul Ong hyung will see them. And then I have to take a few of myself with Ji-Eun as well. And to top it all off, I’m going to send him a recording of me singing Nagging with Ji-Eun. We’ll see what his reaction is! He opposed to the idea very violently yesterday. Let’s see what happens later!”
Nicole just shook her head and was thankful that she was on Jin Woon’s side. If she ever find herself on the opposing side, she’d be sure to wave the white flag even before the game started. She followed Jin Woon into the studio and she could see that IU was already enchanted by the puppy and was carrying it in a very motherly manner and talking to it.
She stopped Jin Woon in his tracks and told him to bend down so she could whisper in his ear.
“I think instead of photos, you should take a video. It’s probably more effective.”
“Good idea!”
Jin Woon took out his phone and used the video function to take a short clip of IU playing with Sae-Byukie and doing all her aegyo in front of Sae-Byukie. He immediately sent it to Seul Ong.
“Hyung! Look at the two cuties!” was the message that he attached to the video.
Next, he took out his camera and started snapping away. They were causing quite a bit of distraction until finally Kwon had to chase them out with Sae-Byukie because Ga-In and JeA wanted to play with it as well.
Nicole, Jin Woon and IU left the practice studio and they decided to go for lunch. Luckily there was a pet café in the area so they made their way there. IU just kept on holding to Sae-Byukie even though he had his leash on. She kept on touching it and kissing it. And all this was caught on the camera by Jin Woon. IU didn’t stop him from taking the photos, in fact, she wanted him to take more and send them to her.
“Seul Ong hyung should really bring Sae-Byukie with us more often! He’s a girl magnet! Everyone just wants to play with him! We will get a lot of visits from all the girls! Yes! I MUST persuade him to bring Sae-Byukie with us the next time we have a recording in the stations!”
The moment Seul Ong’s name was mentioned, the smile on IU’s face disappeared. She continued holding on to Sae-Byukie but she just went quiet. Both Jin Woon and Nicole noticed the change immediately and knew for sure now something MUST have happened. They had to find out what was it, NOW!
“Ji-Eun ah, can I borrow your phone? I forgot to charge my phone last night and I need to check with GyuRi unnie what time is our practice.”
Without a second word or suspicion, IU handed her phone over to Nicole and continue walking ahead of them.
The moment IU’s not within earshot, Nicole opened up her message inbox and saw the last message was sent to her by Seul Ong. After they opened it and read the content, they knew immediately what was the problem. They went to her outbox next and saw that the last two messages that she sent were both to Seul Ong. They opened the second last message first, and then the last message.
When they saw that she addressed Seul Ong as “Seul Ong-ssi”, they knew that they have a difficult task ahead of them if they wanted to bring them together. It’s not even a misunderstanding that they could help them solve.
Nicole looked at Jin Woon questioningly. For once, Jin Woon shrugged to indicate that he had run out of ideas.
Author's Note: This is only part 1 of D-4. I'd post up the second part tomorrow morning. My eyes are dying! And believe it or not, the dream scene, I actually wrote it yesterday but of course it wasn't a dream. I was just using Ong's tweet today about dreaming of Kwon and MiSun as the catalyst for him to remember the other dream he had. It was pure coincidence~
21 December 2010 D-4 (Part 2)
When Seul Ong received the video in the nanny van, he opened it immediately. There was that bitter-sweet feeling. It was so beautiful to see her delight with the little imp. Yet, at the same time, he remembered how he was treated like he was invisible outside the company building just now.
He remembered reading somewhere when you cry even though you are happy, it meant whatever was making you happy is making you sad as well. It also meant this person meant more to you than you think.
He looked at the picture of her with Sae-Byukie and finally admitted that he’s really in love with IU. But what he did this morning just destroyed any chance of anything happening between them.
What do I do now? Be cool and not do anything since it might go away?
Right, like that’s going to happen.
Then tell me what am I supposed to do?
Be truthful, tell her how you really feel.
Can I? Should I?
“Seul Ong! YA! Im Seul Ong!”
His manager finally pulled him out of his contemplations.
“What’s wrong with you? I have called you at least 10 times! Quick, let’s go in, we are already 10 minutes late!”
Without a word, Seul Ong got out of the nanny van and walked into the venue for the day’s photo shoot. Inside, the photographer explained the concept to him. He was supposed to portray a man in love and confused because the girl he’s in love with was going to get married.
How appropriate. I don’t even need to think about it. I am in love AND confused.
Scene 1: Man with girl he loves but never confesses since they are JUST friends.
Seul Ong did that with ease. He remembered the time where he was working on Nagging with IU. Those were the best days. They would chat, have meals together, send messages to each other and talk on the phone occasionally. They would talk about what to do for their duet stages.
Scene 2: Girl sends him a message telling him that she wants to introduce him to her boyfriend.
From the joy in the previous scene, the anxiety and pain that came with the ‘betrayal of the best friend’ became more prominent. He thought about all those times when IU performed Nagging with the other male singers, and how they contacted each other less. Especially from IU’s side. Sometimes, the messages he sent to her didn’t get any replies and she never initiated any form of communication anymore.
Scene 3: Girl passes her wedding invitation card to him.
He cried. The tears came from nowhere but when he was presented with the wedding invitation card, he thought of how it might never be possible between him and IU and that one day, he might be on the receiving end of her wedding invite.
After the shoot ended, the photographer was looking at the pictures that had been taken and was amazed at how Seul Ong portrayed the exact emotions expected from the scenes.
“Seul Ong-ssi, no wonder everyone is saying that you are the next actor to keep an eye on! The portrayal of emotions was so good! Those tears at the last scene were fantastic! Even I felt sad! Thank you for all your hard work today!”
Seul Ong smiled and said his goodbyes to the production team that day and left the building. Since the shoot went on smoothly, they actually finished ahead of time. It was only 3.30pm. He had plenty of time before he was expected at practice. He took out his phone to inform his manager that the shoot had ended and he would make his way back to the office on his own. That was when he saw the notification from Jin Woon’s CyWorld of new photos being uploaded.
He knew that it was probably photos of IU but he couldn’t resist opening them even though he knew that the images would serve no other purpose other than to torture him.
And he was right. Every single image showed IU’s pretty face and her interaction with Sae-Byukie. There were a few of IU, Nicole and the puppy but the main focus was definitely IU and Sae-Byukie.
Then he came to the last few photos and that caused him to stop in his tracks. It was photos of Jin Woon, IU and Sae-Byukie. And Jin Woon wrote “My princess and the little imp~ Don’t we look like a family?!”
The first photo had Jin Woon and IU all looking straight at the camera.
The second photo was Jin Woon just looking at IU who seems to be scolding Sae-Byukie. Jin Woon looked amused with the somewhat furious IU.
The third photo had Jin Woon and IU looking at each other.
The following photos showed Jin Woon getting closer with each shot.
The last shot looked like Jin Woon managed to kiss her on the cheek and IU looking all bashful.
That was the money shot. Seul Ong almost threw his phone on the floor in anger and frustration.
How can Jin Woon do such a thing? Doesn’t he know if anyone were to get hold of the pictures, it could be disastrous? Didn’t he learn from what happened after my sudden hug with IU?
Not to mention, that was MY moment with her. How dare he try to replicate it?!
He dialed Jin Woon’s number with the intention of giving him a scolding. When Jin Woon didn’t pick up his call, he decided that he had to go back to the office IMMEDIATELY. He was actually going to go shopping for gifts for the other 2AM members and all the guests coming for their concert. Jin Woon’s photos just threw that plan neatly out of the window. He quickly hailed a cab and made his way back.
Back at the practice studio, they had Bang PD with them to re-work Nagging into an acoustic version. It was good that they have a good relationship with the original songwriters through BEG that they readily agreed to let Big Hit Entertainment make changes to the arrangement of the melody.
Jin Woon and IU were practicing their parts with Chang Min’s guidance. Nicole had left after lunch and taking the ‘incriminating’ photos. The rest of the morning practice group had left even before they returned from lunch. Luckily they had the sense to bring back food for Chang Min otherwise they would have to suffer his nagging about not being considerate towards him.
When Seul Ong arrived at the office, he ran to the practice studio, only to be greeted by no one. He quickly dialed Chang Min’s number since he knew he was with them. The moment the call was connected, he asked where they were. Chang Min told him that they were in the recording studio.
Seul Ong hung up and then ran to the recording studio. When he arrived at the recording studio, he was shocked by the scene in front of him. He was even more shocked to hear the familiar melody yet it’s not the same anymore.
Jin Woon was playing the melody on the guitar and IU was singing along. After a while, they stopped and then tweaked what they had played just now. IU even gave suggestion on how Jin Woon should play the guitar.
Then they sang Nagging from the beginning to the end. It was a beautiful acoustic rendition of the song. Seul Ong knew he should be happy for them because it was going to be a hit at the concert but at the same time, he couldn’t help but feel really upset about it. He was about to turn around and leave the recording studio when Chang Min spotted him at the door.
“Ah~ Seul Ong, you are here. You have to listen to the new acoustic version of Nagging! It’s really good!”
“Seul Ong hyung!! You have to come and listen to it! Quick, sit down on the sofa. Ji-Eun, let’s sing it again!”
IU put on her sweetest smile and nodded at Jin Woon’s suggestion. Since he was caught, he had no choice but to sit through the whole song again.
Smile, Im Seul Ong. You are an actor too. Put on the smile.
“It is my honour tonight to have the lovely IU with me. We are going to sing a song that all of you are very familiar with. Want to make a guess? Once we start playing you’d know what song it is. Ready?”
Jin Woon started playing and when then IU started singing. Seul Ong’s eyes were only on IU throughout their entire performance. The only time he looked away was when IU turned towards Jin Woon.
I’m not ready to see that yet. I don’t know what I’d do.
When they ended the song, both of them stood up and Jin Woon held her hand and both took a bow.
No one could have predicted what happened next, even the person himself.
Seul Ong got up from the sofa, went forward to where IU and Jin Woon were and pulled IU away from Jin Woon. He didn’t stop there. He pulled her all the way out of the recording studio and went to the elevator.
“Seul Ong op…”
Then IU remembered his message in the morning and went quiet. But she tried to get her hand out of Seul Ong’s grasp. When he refused to let go, she looked at him and said coldly.
“Let go.”
Seul Ong looked at IU and couldn’t believe that she was behaving in such a cold manner towards him.
“Ji-Eun ah, why are you behaving in such a manner? What did I do wrong?”
Hearing her name from his mouth again made her tear up. When she looked at him and he saw her tears, he got anxious.
“Why are you crying? Did I hurt you? I’m sorry.”
Seul Ong let go of his hold on her hand and was going to wipe the tears off her cheeks. But she moved away from him and stood on the other side of the elevator.
“I’m ok. Let’s go back to the recording studio. Otherwise the rest would wonder what happened. Or maybe you shouldn’t go back just yet. They are probably going to question you about what just happened.”
“What about you? Don’t you want to know why I pulled you out of the recording studio?”
IU looked at Seul Ong and smiled.
“What would knowing the reason do? Do you really know the reason why you did that?”
When Seul Ong remained silent, IU pressed the “Door Open” button and walked out of the elevator. Just before the door closed completely, she turned back to look at Seul Ong. Their eyes met for that one moment. IU could see the confusion on his face so she smiled then turned to walk back to the recording studio.
Seul Ong oppa, I'm sorry too...
Author's Note: Sorry for the late update. I don't know who I sympathize with more at the moment. It's a little heartbreaking for both parties.
To be honest, it's a little disheartening to have no response. It feels lonely. wahahaha ^^ Alright nevermind. I will continue to write anyway. And a spin-off is in my head. wahahaha ^^ Maybe a Valentines' Special.

It's not a misunderstanding that outsiders can actually resolve. So i guess, it's up to dumb SO to decide what he wants to do. (or what i wanna do -.-)

JinWoon is quite the mastermind here. I would not want to be on his bad side either.
Poor SO and IU. All the problems caused by one SMS. And yet, he does not realize how much that text affected her. I wonder how they will be able to bridge the gap.
Great story development, Aud. I am really looking forward to the next part and if you do a spin-off for Valentine's Day, I hope its a sequel where IU and SO are already together. ^^
