“Ok. Don’t forget to take that daily, Tae Min Ah.” This 40 years old woman behind the table desk said to me as she gives me a small paper.

“I’ll. Thank you so much.” I bowed to her after I stood up. She smiled to me and gestured to her assistant to lead me to the door.

I smiled to them once more soon before her assistant closed the door. I stood there in front of the door.

Why it has to be me, God?

Before I let my thought run wild, I felt a vibration from my phone. I fished it from my small sling bag that I always carry everywhere I go.

It was Changhyun calling.

“Anyeong.” I greeted him as I walked out this building. His voice seems to be so cheerful. Well, he’s always like that, tho.

“Where are you? Should I go straight to your apartment or?” He asked over the phone. I smiled bitterly.

“I’m still 20 minutes away from my house. If you…”

“Where are you? I could drop by and take you.” He cut my sentence, which made me right away react.

“Don’t!” I… didn’t realize I just shouted.

“Why?”

“I… Uh. Just come to my house. I’ll be there as soon as possible.” Then I immediately hung up before he could ask anything more. It would be so complicated if he knows I’m here.


Today’s the day we’re going to Everland. As promised, I will be his ‘girlfriend’ for today and on the other hand, he’ll be my ‘boyfriend’. I’m kind of nervous because I have this weird feeling towards him.

Truth be told. I like him since the day we met. That day where I left my lunch box in his class because I was having lunch with my friend which coincidentally his classmate. Then I came back to that class and I saw a young boy sitting beside the window put his eyes on me as I stepped into that class until I left.

His eyes were so bright that it was like telling me to keep looking at those while I just couldn’t. The next day, my friend, who’s I had lunch the other day, told me that he’s curious with me so she gave him my number and since then we texted, phoned and became best friend up until now.

I never thought he might like me because he had never made a move on me, instead he’s flirting with girls and dated them. It’s obvious that he wouldn’t look at me, right? And he becoming an artist which currently on the top of every charts made me thinking that he wouldn’t like me back, because… Look at those super sexy girls in his agents. He would fall for them instead of me.

“Yah, Min Ah!” A heavy voice cracked my thought. I was about to enter the lobby until I jumped because of it.

“Oh, Changhyun! You shocked me.” I hold my chest.

“What’s that?” His eyes locked at the paper I hold. I immediately stuffed it inside my bag.

“Uh… Nothing…” I smile bitterly but he still looks curious. “Do you want to wait here while I’m taking my bag?” I distracted him.

“I’ll come with you.” He answered straight away.

“Where were you before?” He asked while we’re entering the elevator. Don’t say anything about that, Min Ah. Don’t.

“I was… from my friend.”

“Who?”

“It’s… Hanna.” I lied. The elevator stopped and we both stepped out. I lead him to my apartment.

“Hanna? I never heard that name before.” He narrowed his eyes on me.

“She’s… my old friend. She just got back from the States.” I lied even more. I opened the door and immediately rushed to my bedroom after I threw my sling bag easily to the couch.

“Wait a sec. okay?” I shouted from my bedroom. I didn’t hear him react.

I closed every windows and turn on the lamp on the balcony, I know we’re going to leave until midnight.

I grabbed my bag, which was bigger that the other because I just stuffed substituted clothes.

“I’m ready!” I cheered as I locked my bedroom door. He looks at me without saying anything.
“Why?”

“Nothing. So can we go now?” He smiled again. I nodded.

“I’m ready!” He came closer to me, closer and even closer until our nose almost touching each other.

“As promised…” He gazed at my eyes so intense. “You are my girlfriend today.” I shooed him away.

“We’re just pretending.” I faced down as I walked away from him to the front door.

“Hey. Let me bring that for you.” I keep walking ignoring him but then he grabbed my hand and made me turns to him.

“…and I am your boyfriend today. So let me bring that for you.” He took the bag that I already carried.

Why did he make this look so serious?

*****

“Yah, Min Ah.” He glanced at me for a millisecond. “Do you bring any formal dresses with you?” I look at him in surprised.

“What? Of course I don’t.”

“Then we’re going to shopping first.” I look at the backseat. I could see a neat suit hanging. For what it supposed to be?

“Wait… We could turn back to my apartment instead of buying the new one.” He pretended not hearing me. “Yah, Changhyun!”

“I am your boyfriend today. I’ll do what boyfriend supposed to do.” He smiled at me. Is he in his right mind right now?

“Oh, whatever but remember, we are just pretending.”

“I understand that!” He winked and smiled to me.

After 15 minutes of driving, he stopped the car in front of one boutique. The dresses that been shown behind the window looks gorgeous and elegant.

“Come on!” He gestured me to come out. Then we both are heading inside.
Every dresses here caught my eyes. There’s one one-strap dress with kind of diamonds glued to the strap.

“Which one do you like?” He asked calmly.

“Those are all beautiful.” I mesmerized by all the designs. I couldn’t even choose one, not to be greedy but they are all really beautiful.

“Do you want to buy all of them?” I spontaneously glared at him.

“Of course no! But why should I bring one? I thought we are going to ride stuffs, aren’t we?” I questioned him as I look through every rack.

“There will be a fireworks party tonight.” He spoiled.

“Watching firework with only t-shirt and jeans is enough for me.” I replied.

“The dresscode is formal they said.”

“Oh…”

“So which one?”

“Hmm… What do you think about this?” I took one dress. It really looks slutty. All short.

“Isn’t that… to sexy?” He made a ‘confused but interested’ looks. Really, his face expression was really priceless.

I laugh at my own joke. “I know! I never want to wear that.” I put it back then I took another one. “How about this one?” I showed him a long slim black dress with halter-neck and kind of sequins circling on the neck.

“It’s… classy.” He commented. “Try it on.” I look at a woman who’s since we stepped in observing us.

“Can I try this one?” I asked her. She smiled at me and nodded. She leads me to the fitting room the left me there.

I carefully put it on. The dress is really soft like it was made from silk but I know it’s not. I came out after I perfectly put it on.

“What do you think about it?” I asked the brown-eyed boy who’s standing in front of the fitting room.

“W…” He couldn’t say a thing. Is that a compliment?

“Yah!”

“You… look perfect!” He smiled. His eyes wandered from my head to toe.

“Don’t make you look like a pervert by seeing me like that.” I gestured him like I was about to punch him. I get in again and change.


“Are you going to take this?” That woman asked me soon as I got out from the fitting room. I look at Changhyun.

“Take it if you want.” He said. “Yes, we’re taking this one.” He beamed to the woman because I didn’t say a thing. He heads to the cashier and I followed him right behind.

“The total would be ₩ 250000.” That woman smiled to us, instead my jaw dropped.

“Changhyun!” I pulled his sleeve but he ignored me. “Don’t buy that!” He still ignores me and gave that woman his credit card.

“It’s fine, Min Ah.” He whispered.

The woman gave him back his card immediately and a big shopping bag. Even the shopping bag looks really pricey.


“I’m sorry for making you pay that much.” I said while we’re walking back to the car.

“It looks perfect on you anyway. Why should I not buy it?” He smiled and messed my hair. It’s the first time he messed my hair… What is going on? Is he taking the boyfriend-girlfriend too far?


He continues driving while me just sit there looking out of the window. Imagining of that day. The day everything would end. Would it ended perfectly?
