Destined 遐想 - Chapter 25

Chapter 25: Only You Have the Ability

"It's nice for us to spent some private time together. There's been too many people around us this few days. Ying, do you want to go on those tea-cup rides? It does not involve any height," suggested Roy.

"Okay. I'm alright with anything if it does not involve any height. I will go ballistic when you put me high up in the air. So, I think it will be better with no heights are involved," said Ying.

As Ying and Roy were heading towards their ride, they saw Show and the guys. The rest of the guys were in front, with Show trailing behind them.

"Hey guys!!!" shouted Ying.

"Hey, Ying," replied the guys as they walked up to Ying and Roy.

As the guys walked closer, Ying saw something that puzzled her. Why was Show with the guys? Wasn't Show supposed to be with Ting?

"Show, where's Ting? I thought she was supposed to be with you?"

"Ying. Shhh. Don't ask anymore," Milk whispered to me, hoping that Ying would not probe any further.

Ying pulled Milk aside, hoping that she could find out what was going on.

"Milk, where's Ting? What happened?"

"Ting ex-boyfriend came back. Ting left with him, leaving Show behind".

"Oh my! They have finally meet. Sigh..... "

Ying walked up to Show.

"Show.... Erm.... Do......you....erm..... want.... erm.... I think....you should have a good talk with Ting. I believe that Ting and Arron are over. There's nothing between them anymore".

"Thanks".

"Why don't we find Ting together and then both of you could have some private time," suggested Roy.

"Okay".

~~~~帅哥，帅哥.......... 大帅哥.......... 帅哥，帅哥.......... 大帅哥~~~~

Show's mobile rang. What was displayed on his caller ID was Ting's name. He didn't know what to say when he picked up the phone. Should he scream at her for not telling him about Arron beforehand. Or should be pretend that nothing happened. He hesitated a while before finding the courage to pick up the call.

"Hello....."

"Show? It's me. Ting".

"Yeah. I know".

"Erm.... I.... think... we need to talk.... Can we meet at the hotel? I need to tell you something. Meet you in 20 minutes time?"

"Okay".

Before Ting could say anything, Show hung up the phone.

"Hey guys. I'm going back to the hotel first. I'm meeting Ting there. You guys have fun. Don't worry about our problem. Bye guys".

Show left the guys there, confused.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I've just called Show. I'm meeting Show back at the hotel".

"Do you need us to accompany you?"

"Nah. It's alright. I can handle this. I'll just tell Show that Arron and I were past tense. Don't worry. It's going to be fine. You guys enjoy yourself. Don't let this spoil you mood".

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah".



"Ok then".

Ting left Ning and Jun to enjoy themselves at the park. She didn't want Ning to worry for her. She knew that everything was going to fine. The most important thing now was to clarify things with Show. She did not want Show to think that she was two-timing him.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Ting!!!" Show shouted as he caught a glimpse of Show.

Show was seated at the lobby of the hotel, waiting anxiously for Ting to arrive. Show didn't know what to say or how to react to Ting.

"Hey".

"What did you want to tell me about? "

The usual guy who always look bubbly and humorous was not present today. Show looked very solemn and serious. Ting never saw this side of Show before.

"It's.... about.... that guy you saw just now. He.... he's.... my ex-boyfriend. There's nothing between us anymore. I've broken up with him a long time ago. Show, believe me. There's really nothing going on between us. Show, believe me. I'm not two-timing you........."

Ting blabbered on and on.

Before Ting could finish her explanation, Show moved closer towards Ting. He pulled Ting towards closer to him and hugged her tightly. Ting's explanation was more than enough. All he need to know was that she had nothing to do with Arron anymore.

Ting was stunned by what Show did. She did not expect him to believe her so easily. She thought Show was going to flare up at her. But, things turned out better than what she expected. The instant Show pulled her into her arms, she felt so loved. The sense of security was something that only Show could give her, and not Arron. She knew that leaving Arron for Show was a right choice. Tears began to form in Ting's eyes. She was touched by Show's action. His understanding towards her was something that she did not expect.

"I know Ting. I know. I believe what you said. All you need to tell me is that the both of you were in the past".

"Thank you, Show. Thank you," tears started to roll down Ting's cheeks as she spoke.

"Ting. Why are you crying? Hush. Don't cry. Let me tell you a joke. One night, Ting Ting was walking back home all by herself. She felt a chill down her spine as she was walking in the dark alley. From the corner of her eyes, she saw a white cat sitting on the top of a fence. The cat does not have a mouth. That was really scary. Ting Ting thought that she had saw a ghost. She mustered up all her courage and went forward to take a look. Do you know what cat did she see?....... Chey.... It was just Hello Kitty".

"Hahahahahaha...... You never fail to make me laugh. Thank you".

Ting planted a kiss on Show's cheek.

"Seeing you smile makes me happy too".

Maybe, Show was the one, the one she should choose. The one who will give her happiness. The one that she can entrust her life to.

Destined 遐想 - Chapter 24

Chapter 24: Why Must He Say That?

"Show!!! Are you alright?" questioned a concerned Edy.

No response form Show.

"Show!!!!! Wake up!!!!" screamed Zax as he shook Show violently.

"Huh!!! I..... I.... I..... Erm.... I'm alright.... I think I need some time alone to digest this..... Maybe.... Maybe.... You guys can go and without me...." answered Show.

"We can't leave you here alone..... Why don't you join us? Everything is going to be fine. I'm sure Ting will sort things out with that guy and come back shortly," Toro comforted Show.

"Maybe... Maybe... You're right.... I think I'll join you guys as I wait for Ting."

Right after Show finished his sentence, the guys pulled Show along with them to the different rides.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At the cafe..................

"Make it quick. I really don't have much time to spare. I need to get back as soon as possible," Ting said curtly.

"Ting... Do you have to be so hostile towards me? I know that parting was painful... But that was because I didn't want to hurt you any deeper".

"It's alright. You really don't have to explain anymore. It's really over. If that's all you need to say, I'll leave first".

Ting started to grab her bag and begin to leave. Just as Ting stood up, Arron ran over and got hold of her arm to prevent her from leaving.

"Ting, don't leave!!! Let me finish explaining, please?"

Ting relented, and put her bag down, and went back to her seat.

"Thank you. I still remember our promise to stay together no matter what happens. But... But.... I knew that when I was presented that chance to study in the States, we were going to be separated. Initially, I thought of giving it up quietly, without telling you. But, I knew you would not want that to happen. If I'd told you about this, you would allow me to leave and bear the pain all alone. If I made the situation like I was the one in the wrong, by not telling you anything, I believed it would be easier for you to forget the pain. I'm sorry, Ting. Please forgive me, will you? I hope to have a second chance".

Upon hearing Arron's explanation, Ting was moved by it. All along, she thought that Arron was the one who caused all her suffering at that time. She didn't even know that while she was wallowing in self-pity, Arron was also suffering too. At this point, Ting's heart was in a whirlpool. She felt that the feelings that she previously felt for Arron coming back. But, she could not feel this way. She had Show now. And the feelings that she had with Show were strong too. She was almost reaching her breaking point. Tears start to form in her eyes, but she held back her tears.

"Sorry, Arron. I need time to digest all these. Everything came all too sudden for me... I really don't know what to do now... Can you give me some time?"

"Ting, I know this is hard for you to digest. But.... I really hope that you will consider it properly".

Ting turned and left the cafe after Arron finished his sentence.

"Ting!!!!! Don't go please. Does it mean that it is all over for us? Is it because of that guy just now?"

Ting did not even allow herself to hear Arron's final sentence. She walked away as fast as she could. She didn't want to hear any more. Ting knew her heart was touched by Arron. But, what about Show? She knew that deep in her heart, Show meant something to her. She knew that she did not treat Show as a replacement. But, at this moment, Arron occupied a part of her heart and so does Show.

Arron ran after Ting, hoping that Ting would tell him that they could get back to gather. Arron grabbed hold to Ting's arm, preventing her from leaving.

"Ting, don't leave me hanging there. Please? Ting, please say something. It's really fine if you don't want to give me a second chance. But.... Ting... I need to know how you feel".

"Arron, let go of my arm. I really need to go......"

Arron refused to let go of Ting, unless she gave him an explanation. He tightened his grip, afraid that if he released his hands, Ting would never come back anymore.

"Arron.... LET GO OF ME!!!!! STOP IT!!! IT HURTS!!!!!"

"I'm sorry".

Slowly, Arron began to loosen his grip. But, his hands did not leave Ting's arm at all.

"Arron...... I..... I.... really don't know what to do now. My mind can't register all these at all. It's all in a blank now...... Arron.... I really knew time alone..... Time for me to think through what is happening. You can't just come and go and expect everything to be like before. Things changes and time does not stand still for you and me".

"I know, Ting. I know this is hard to digest all at one go. But, Ting..... I really love you.... All these years in the States, my mind kept on having images of you... images of the happy times that we both spent together. I know what I did was cruel. However, this was all done with you in mind. Ting... Please give me another chance".

"Arron...... Stop all these. I'm dating someone else now. I'm sorry. You will always be someone special to me".

Upon hearing Ting's words, Arron's heart was crushed into pieces. He could not believe Ting could forget him so easily. Arron could not do anything, but to let Ting slip pass his fingers. Ting walked away from Arron, leaving him there all alone.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Why don't we go n ride on the carousel? It looks so romantic riding on it," said Ning.

"Okay. I'm fine with it. If that makes you happy," answered Jun.

Both Jun and Ning started to head towards the carousel ride. On the way, both of them saw Ting walking all alone in the park.

"Ting!!!!" shouted Ning.

But, Ting did not hear Ning at all. She continued on walking, ignoring the shouts of Ning.

"TING!!!!!! TING!!!!" Ning continued to shout, but to no avail.

Ning ran up to Ting, trying to catch up with her. Ning tapped the shoulders of Ting to grab her attention.

"AHHHHH!!! Who's that?"

"It's me. What are you thinking of? And where's Show? I thought he was with you".

"I just met up with Arron. He's back".

"You mean..... Oh my..... How could this happen? I thought you and Arron would not meet after all the planning we...."

"What do you mean by that? Don't tell me you knew that Arron was back in Taiwan a long time ago? Why didn't you tell me?"

"I.... I.... just didn't want you to meet him again. I know that you would get all upset and stuff. I'm really sorry".

"That's not important anymore, Ting. Does Show knows about Arron? I think it'll be better if you explain what's going on between you and Show. He needs to know. I think we should accompany you to look for Show".

Serendipity 奇缘 - Chapter 25

Chapter 25: 给我你的爱

"FIFI!!! THEO!!! What are you gals doing here!!!" I exclaimed when the lift door opened, and I saw the two of them sitting at my door with two huge suitcases beside them.

"*sign* You're back AT LAST!!! We've been squattering outside your apartment for the past 2 hours already... It's freezing... Can we get inside first then explain later?"

Fifi and Theo both got up from the floor and pulled their luggages to the front of the door. I rushed towards the door and opened it for them, everyone poured into my apartment, and plonked themselves on the sofa. I looked at Jaejoong, and he gave me a "What to do?" look, and walked in. I closed the door after me. Jaejoong walked over and sat on the edge of a sofa. When I walked over, he pulled me into his arms, and I stood beside him.

"Fifi, how come you gals are here?"

"Oh we're on a backpacking trip around a few countries and decided to spring a surprise on Kiki by dropping by here to visit her."

"Back-packing trip??!!! You must be kidding... More like shopping trip I think.... Looking at the size of those luggages..."

Fifi and Theo both turned and gave me an annoyed look.

"Erm... Tea.... Anyone??"

"Yes please..."

I walked away to the kitchen to make tea for everyone.

"I see... You're here to visit Kiki..." Xiah nodded his head repeatedly.

"So how long will you gals be here?" U-Know asked.

"Not too sure yet... Depends on how long our money can last us I guess... This is our last stop already before going back..." Theo replied.

"Ah... Well you don't have to worry about that... Nuna will take care of you when you're here... Just as long as you don't buy too many things, you should be able to last for a couple of weeks to a month..." Max added.

Everyone looked at Max. I overheard what he had blurted out, and tried to save him by calling him over to help me.

"Max!!! Will you come over and help me bring the tea over?"

He looked over at me and scurried over immediately to save himself.

"You trying to 'kill' yourself by saying those things ah? Ha ha..." I whispered to Max when he came over to help me.

"Mianeyo... Slip of tongue... Thanks for saving me, nuna..." He smiled, and made a 'sorry' face, and leaned his head on my shoulder cheekily.

"You better be careful of what you say about women and their shopping habits... They get very sensitive... Even for myself..."

"Ahem... *cough cough*"

We turned around when we heard Jaejoong's voice.

"Hyung... You're not jealous, are you?"

"Of course not... Hurry up with the tea, they are asking for it..."

Jaejoong walked over and nudged Max to bring the tea out. Max went out with the tea, and I took a peek at Jaejoong's face. He looked stern.

"Seriously.... Joongie... You're not jealous, right? Why are you looking so serious suddenly?" I leaned my head lower to get a better view of his face.

"Anio... I'm not... I'd know better..." He turned to face me, "Max is like a little brother to you, like you are like a elder sister to him... So... there's nothing for me to be jealous about..."

"Then why do you look so stern?" I placed my hands on his face and patted his cheeks lightly.

"Cos everytime I want to spend some time with you alone, something crops up... And spoils our plans..."

"*sigh* It's not like I knew this was going to happen..."

"I know..."

"Cheer up okay... Give me a smile..." I smiled.

He still looked glum. I leaned towards him and gave him a peck on his lips. His eyes immediately lit up.

"That's much better... Come help me bring the rest of the tea out..." I pointed towards the rest of the cups.

"So it's decided then... You gals will stay with Kiki here during your stay in Korea, and we'll bring you gals around whenever we can..."

As Jaejoong and I walked over, we heard their conversation.

"What's this all about?"

"We've planned to take you gals around Korea whenever we can during their stay here... We're going to meet after the script-reading session tomorrow to go sight-seeing..."

"Really?? You guys have time to bring us around? Ah well... I think it's only them... Cos I have to work... I only have time for myself on weekends... Sorry guys..."

"You mean you can't go with us?"

"I can only go with you on weekends... I have to work on weekdays... There're things to settle before the shooting starts... And when that starts... You guys won't be able to bring them around everyday... At least not all of you..."

"Oh... Cos we are filming at different times right?"

"Yeah... I can meet you guys after work tomorrow though... For dinner..."

"Okay... You give us a call after your work, and we'll let you know where we are... And you can come and meet us..."

"Okay... I'll do that..."

After everyone finished their tea, Xiah and U-Know helped Fifi and Theo carry their luggages into the guest room. And they bid their goodbyes for the day and returned to their apartment.

"Kiki... Why didn't you tell us earlier that you were neighbours with TVXQ?"

"Oh I only got to know yesterday when I moved in..."

"I see... They're still as nice as before... Especially Xiah... So sweet...."

"Ha ha... I know... Xiah's your fave... That's why..."

"Ha ha... Yeah he is... Mr Nice Guy Xiah Junsu... Ha ha ha..."

"Hey... Aren't you gonna prepare the room for us?"

"Oops... I forgot... Why don't you go ahead and take a bath first, and I'll get everything ready..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Ding dong ding dong*

I had already finished preparing the room for the girls and was going back to my room when the doorbell rang.

"Who could that be at this time?" I thought to myself as I walked over to open the door.

Jaejoong was standing at the door when I opened it.

"Joongie? Is there anything you need? Left something here?"

He smiled, "I know you won't let me sleep over tonight definitely... With Fifi and Theo around... But I just wanted to give it a try..."

"You're so unbelievable... Hurry on back now... It's cold... Don't get sick... Running door to door without a jacket..."

I stepped out, and nudged him towards his door. When I stepped out, a gust of wind blew past the corridor and my door slammed shut. I turned and tried in vain to open the door.

"Looks like you're locked out..."

"At least Fifi and Theo are inside, so they'll be able to open the door for me..."

I reached to press the doorbell. Jaejoong grabbed my hand and pulled it back. I looked at him in surprise.

"Joongie?"

"Isn't it nice that we can finally spend some time alone? Even if we're out in the cold... together..."

"You have a very romantic ideology of being out in the cold... And being locked out... But I think I wanna get back inside... It's cold..."

He pulled me closer to him, hugging me into his arms.

"Remember we were supposed to discuss our 'terms' when we got back... but we were interrupted... So... Now we can continue the discussion..."

"Ah... The terms..."

"Go ahead... I'm all ears..."

"1... You're not supposed to behave intimately with or towards me in public... Which means, no hug, hand-holding, kiss, etc... And no cheating...
2... You're supposed to address me as Kiki-ssi in public...
3... You're supposed to keep anything you wanna do in private, PRIVATE... Which means, no going around telling everyone....
4... You're supposed to keep everything you wanna do in private, rated PG..."

"Okay.... okay... That's a lot of 'supposed to's..."

"Yeah... If you don't abide to the terms..."

"Then what..."

"I'll... I'll ban you from my apartment..."

"But you're supposed to cook for me everyday..."

"Then you'll eat your meals in your apartment, while the rest eat theirs at mine..."

"HUH!!!!???"

"Yeah..."

"That's no way to treat your namja chingu (boyfriend)!!!"

"Well only if you don't abide to the terms then you'll have to be 'punished' for that... Who asked you to not play fair earlier just now..."

"But... I was only trying to bargain a better deal..."

"I know... But I'm the deciding factor right?"

"Yeah..."

"So... I get to have the final say..."

"I guess so... But I have some terms of my own too..."

"Okay... Let's hear them then..."

"1... You're supposed to let me hold your hand, hug, kiss, etc you at least once everyday in private...
2... You're supposed to address me as Joongie whenever in private...
3... You're supposed to cook for me everyday in private... I get to eat with you alone in your apartment... The guys and gals dine at our apartment...
4... You're supposed to say 'Yes' to anything I want whenever we're in private... As long as it's PG...
5... If you don't abide by any of the terms, I get to have my way... And you have to agree..."

"Joongie!!! That's in opposition to everything I just stated..."

"Is it?"

"YES!!!"

"Well those are my terms... You can either choose to abide by them... Or the deal is off... And I get to have my way..."

"That's blackmailing!!! I didn't know you're so good at debating... I should have been more careful before agreeing to anything you say..."

"Haa.... ha.... But you'll agree to these right?"

I nodded reluctantly.

"Okay... GREAT!! That's settled then..."

He release me from his hug and pressed the doorbell for me.

"Oh... Before I forget... You owe me a kiss and a hug..."

"Huh? I thought I already hugged you earlier, and you stole a kiss from me earlier already..."

"That doesn't count... Cos the terms haven't been set yet..."

"WHAT?!!! Joongie!!!"

"I don't care... No kiss, no deal..."

"You're so cheeky you know... Always bullying me..."

I leaned closer to give him a kiss.

"Oh course I won't bully you... Cos I can't wait... to pamper you... with all my love... Every day... Every hour... Every minute... Every second..."

He leaned in and gave me a soft kiss on my lips, and pulled me into his arms.

我不願意，聽你說放棄
累的心，彷彿失去全部力氣
多想可以，繼續擁抱你
讓愛情，用微笑一路走下去

Timeless，這不是離別
若愛不能倒囘，這一刻會永遠

This is timeless love.

沒了呼吸，慢慢我遠去，
但傷心，一直盤旋在那原地
我用全力呼喊你，誰靜靜在聽
一顆心，還隱隱作痛在低泣
停不了想念的淚滴
還有什麽領悟讓我堅定
再無法捉緊，難道一切注定

Timeless，這不是離別
若愛不能倒囘，這一刻會永遠
Hold tight, baby

Serendipity 奇缘 - Chapter 24

Chapter 24: Because Being Yours (I Wish...)

Jaejoong stopped himself right in front of the restaurant suddenly and turned back, making me crash straight into him. I fumbled to steady myself and push myself away from him. Once I managed to get my balance, I started hitting him on his upper arm with my free hands.

"Hey, not fair... the deal doesn't count okay... you cheated..."

"Ouch... ouch... ouch..." He grabbed my hands, "I didn't think you'll actually be able to bring yourself to hit me..." He made a pitiful face at me.

"I... I..." I was a bit taken aback by his response, I didn't think my "assaults" were that painful, "Argh... who asked you to blackmail me... and still go back on your words... I don't care... the deal doesn't count..."

"REALLY???"

"Yes..."

"*sign* Then I guess I don't have a choice, but to let everyone know that we're dating..." He started walking into the restaurant, holding my hand.

"Hey wait!!! You can't do that!!! Stop!!" I tried to pull my hand out from his, and to drag him back out.

"Joongie, don't joke about this okay... It's serious... We're going to get in trouble if you do that... Just behave yourself in public, as for private stuff... just keep it between us... don't go about discussing about it to everyone... it's not very nice to do that..."

"Is that so?"

"Yes... We'll discuss the terms and conditions for our deal later okay? Not here..."

"So there's room for negotiation?"

"Yes..."

"Okay then..." He let go of my hand and started walking into the restaurant. As he walked in, he grinned with a look of victory.

"*sign* Why am I always in the losing end when it comes to negotiation with him... I think I give in to him too much..." I thought to myself, as I watched him walk in cheerfully.

He turned and gave me a cheeky smile and a flying kiss. I rolled my eyes, covered my face in embarrassment, and shook my head. I could hear his musical laughter, as he laughed and went on inside.

I waited for around 5 minutes later, then I went into the restroom, and emerged later from there to the dining room. The drinking group had already started to sober up and were all rubbing their heads from the alcohol. Jaejoong was sitting at his seat and sipping on hot tea.

"Do you guys need some hot tea to sober up before we leave?"

"Yeh..."

"I'll go ask them to serve some for you all..."

They looked at me as I walked out to order their hot tea.

"Your PM is quite good eh... Very good at taking care of people's needs..." TVXQ's manager said.

"Yeah... She's used to working with all sorts of talents, from the really young kids to adults... So she's quite observant when it comes to things like these..." my team leader replied.

"Ah... I see..." TVXQ's manager turned to TVXQ and said, "I guess you guys are in luck then... You got someone to take good care of all your needs during the filming... So I can relax..."

The guys smiled and nodded.

"Here's your hot tea guys... Be careful it's hot..." I said as the waiter followed me in with cups of hot tea.

"Kamsahamnida..."

"You're welcomed... I've already settled the bill. You guys can go ahead back after the hot tea... I've already asked the driver to wait up front..."

All of them looked at me in surprise. I felt a bit uneasy.

"Any... problem???"

"Erm... no... but it's just that in our tradition... we're not used to females paying for our meals... ha ha ha..." The korean producer said.

"Ah... mian hamnida... I saw that you all were so drunk, I thought I'd better settle the bill first in case they thought that we're not paying up..."

"HA HA HA HA HA HA...."

The whole gang started laughing. I felt weird standing there not knowing what was happening.

"You're really very attentivstraightforward... ha ha ha... AND efficient..." TVXQ manager said.

"Huh???"

"Nevermind... Thanks for footing the bill first... We should be going back now... It's quite late already and there's a script-reading session tomorrow, where you'll meet the rest of the cast... Everyone should get some rest... Let's go..." the korean producer said.

I stood by the door, as the group moved out one by one. TVXQ were the last to leave.

Max smiled and whispered to me when he walked past me, "Nuna, you're so... WOW..."

"Huh??"

He shook his head and went out. U-Know, Micky and Xiah all patted me on my shoulder when they walked past me. I was confused. What was the problem? Or is there any problem at all?

Jaejoong was the last to get up, and when he walked past me, he stopped and whispered to me.

"You're really one in a million... you know that?"

"Huh? What do you mean by that?"

He grinned and walked past me.

"Jaejoong!!" I whispered, cos I couldn't shout his name. But he ignored my call, and went on walking. I just walked behind him to the front of the restaurant, where the vehicles were waiting.

"Kiki, why don't you take TVXQ's vehicle? It's less crowded, it'll be more comfortable for you..." TVXQ's manager suggested.

"But what about the guys?"

"We'll take this bus with the korean team..." my team leader said.

"But..."

"It's okay... You're all going the same way anyway... Since you're staying at the same apartment block..." the korean producer said.

"You are?" TVXQ's manager looked at me and asked.

"Yeah, we arranged for them to be staying at the apartment nearest to our company, and it so happens that it's the same apartment TVXQ are staying at... What a coincidence..." the korean producer replied.

I forced a reluctant smile.

"Ah... I see... All the more you should ride with us then... You can get to know the guys too... Since you'll be the one that will be handling them for the entire shoot..." TVXQ's manager said.

"I guess so... If it's not too much trouble for you..."

"Of course not... How much space can you take... The vehicle is so big... You can sit at the back with them and chat... I'll sit with the driver..."

"All right..."

"It's settled then... See you all tomorrow for the script-reading session... Thanks for the great meal again!!! I enjoyed myself very much..." TVXQ's manager said.

"Come on Kiki-shi, get on the vehicle..." Jaejoong nudged me to get onto the vehicle.

I climbed on reluctantly, and sat myself at the back, and they climbed one by one onto the vehicle after me. Jaejoong climbed in right after me and strategically sat himself beside me, Max and Xiah came in after him, and sat themselves in the 2nd row. U-Know and Micky came in last, and sat in the front row.

When the vehicle started, Jaejoong grabbed my hand. I looked at him in surprise. He just gave a innocent "Huh? What happened?" look to me.

Max and Xiah turned around and started making "pretend" idle chat with me.

"So Kiki-shi... How long have you been to Korea already?"

"Erm... for a week already... But we didn't move in to the apartment until yesterday, cos it was not ready yet..."

"So have you been to Korea before?"

"Anio..."

"You like Korea so far?"

"Haven't seen much of it yet... But I like the weather..."

"Oh I see you like cold weather..."

"Yeah... I like cold weather... Cos we only get sun and rain from where we are... And the temperature never goes lower than 22 degrees or higher than 35 degrees... It's boring without seasonal change..."

"Ah... I see... So which is your fave season?"

"Oh I like winter the most cos of the snow... But autumn is very romantic cos of the red and brown falling leaves... Spring is refreshing cos of the blooming flowers everywhere... I think I can only say that I don't like summer cos the sun is very hot... I like all the other colder seasons..."

"Eh guys... are you having an interview with her? You're asking so weird many questions..." TVXQ's manager commented from the front of the vehicle.

"Ah no hyung... we're just chit chatting with Kiki-shi... I'm sure she doesn't mind... Right?"

"Yeah it's okay..."

"What kind of music do you like?" Jaejoong asked suddenly.

"Erm... music?? Ballads... soft rock... jazz... pop..."

"Quite a wide range eh..."

"Yeah..."

"So you're quite a music lover... Have you heard TVXQ's music before?" TVXQ's manager asked.

"Erm... actually..."

"Yeah?"

"Actually we are quite slow when it comes to music imports from Korea... I think I've seen their albums before... But there haven't been much publicity there so it's not very hyped up..."

"So you haven't heard them before?"

"Yeah..."

"Eh guys, sing something for her then..." TVXQ's manager turned and faced them and said.

"Okay... Let's sing 'Hug'..." Jaejoong suggested.

"Okay!!!"

"Guys, it's really..."

They all turned to face me, and sang 'Hug' for me on the ride home, and made funny faces when it was their turns to sing. I smiled when I saw them make the funny faces. It was fun to hang out with them, cos they are all really dorky and playful in nature, and they crack me up...

"Kamsahamnida... That was really nice... I'll probably get myself an album when I get back..."

"Oh no need... We can give you one... A signed one too... We'll pass it to you the next time we see you..." U-Know said, "That's okay right, hyung?" he then asked their manager.

"Of course... That's the least we can do to thank Kiki-shi for the meal..."

They smiled at me.

"Kamsahamnida Lee-shi... Kamsahamnida guys... That's really nice of you all... Cos I didn't bring any music along for this trip... I'll be playing that when I work in the apartment then..." I smiled.

"You still need to work later?"

"Erm... Not later... But when the production starts I may need to work when you're not filming to do an offline edit."

"Wow, you can edit too?"

"Yeah... Part of what I studied..."

"Wow, your country's women are quite strong eh..."

"Hee hee... Not really... Just trying to earn a living too..."

"Really? The women here usually marry quite young, and stop working totally..."

"Well... Not everyone can do that... Depends on whether you find your better half that early first right?"

I felt Jaejoong squeeze my hand tighter and pull it towards him. I looked at him. He smiled at me sweetly.

"So have you found your better half yet?"

"Erm... Changmin-shi... That's a very private question... Can I choose not to answer?"

Max grinned at my quick response.

"Of course you can... But I guess that's a yes?"

I smiled, "That's for me to know, and for you to find out..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Thanks for the ride, Lee-shi..."

"No problem... My pleasure...", He turned to the guys, "Guys, escort her to her house okay? Make sure she's safe before you go back... Annyeongi kyeseyo...."

"Annyeongi kaseyo..." We waved goodbye to him as the vehicle drove off.

When we were sure that the vehicle was gone, we walked into the building. Once inside the lift, everyone started to breathe a sign of relief.

"Wow... That was weird..."

"Yeah... And you're really... ha ha..."

"What?!! Don't 'you're really..." me... Tell me what's this all about? You mean I can't foot the bill first? Cos I'm female?"

"Anio... But it's unusual here... And you did everything before anyone said anything... All by yourself... So I think they're all kinda taken aback... By your efficiency and attentiveness..."

"Aiyo... I thought it was something worse... So it's nothing... Just a break from tradition..."

"But you're breaking our tradition, the very first time we all go out for dinner... So it's a bit... Shocking..."

"Oh... Is that true? Joongie?"

"Don't listen to them... You can break tradition anytime you want... You just do what you think is right... I'll be behind you..."

"Kamsahamnida... That's sweet of you... But is it really bad? What I did just now? Will they think that I'm not respecting them?"

"Don't worry... I think they're more WOW-ed than offended... You'll be fine..."

"Okay..."

He put his arm around my shoulders and pulled me into his arms.

"Don't worry... No one will dare do anything to you... I'll protect you..."

I looked up at him and smiled.

"Eeeekkkkssss...."

We looked at the guys, who were rubbing their shoulders, pretending that they were sprouting goose pimples everywhere.

"Hyung, can you be anymore mushy? We're freezing here already..."

"Ha ha ha ha ha... Mianeyo dongsaeng... My bad... Why don't you guys head on back first? I'll escort her back to her apartment..."

"Okay..."

Serendipity 奇缘 - Chapter 23

Chapter 23: Everything

"I wished you wouldn't do this to yourself... You're making me regret everything from that day onwards... Maybe we shouldn't..." I thought to myself.

A drop of tear fell onto Jaejoong's face. He stirred in his drunken stupor, loosening his hands from my waist. I wiped away the tears from my face hurriedly, and pulled him up to a sitting position.

"What happened? How come we're here?" a half-sober Jaejoong asked when he woke up.

"Oh... you don't remember?"

Jaejoong shoke his head.

"*sigh* You were drunk, and you wandered out to the streets from the restaurant, and I had to follow you out to get you back, as the rest were all too drunk to do it..." I randomly made up something to tell him, as I did not want him to remember what had happened.

"Oh... I see..." Jaejoong shook his head as he was feeling dizzy from the alcohol.

"I'll go get you some tea first to clear your head..." I got up and ran towards the restaurant.

"Kiki!!!"

I turned back and shouted to him, "You just wait there... I'll be back in a minute...", and turned back to continue towards the restaurant.

Once inside the restaurant, I got a cup of hot tea and took it carefully back to Jaejoong.

"Be careful, it's very hot..." I said as I passed the cup to Jaejoong.

He took a small sip from the cup and placed it down beside him on the bench.

"Are you feeling any better?"

"Yeah..." He looked up at me, as I was still standing beside the bench.

When I noticed him looking at me, I looked away. He reached out his hand, wanting to pull me nearer to him. I stepped away.

"I think I'd better get back in the restaurant. They should probably be sober by now... We can't let them see both of us gone at the same time..."

I turned and started to walk back to the restaurant.

"I know we're in public now... But you don't have to be so cold to me... right?"

"I'm not..." I replied with my back facing him.

"Yes... you are..."

"No... I'm not..."

"Yes you are... You're not even looking at me when you're speaking to me..."

I bit my lip and turned around. He was standing behind me, and when I turned, I was facing him. I looked up at him.

"Are you angry with me? Was it something I did when I was drunk just now? If it's me, you can let me know... I'll apologize for my bad behaviour..."

I looked away. He took a step closer when he saw me look away. I took a step back when he advanced.

"It's something I did just now right? Won't you forgive me?"

He took another step forward and reached for me. I took another step back, avoiding his hand.

"It's not your fault. I just don't like to see people getting drunk... That's all... I'm going back now..."

I turned and started walking very fast towards the restaurant.

"KIKI!!!! WAIT!!!" I could hear Jaejoong shouting behind me.

I started running when I heard him calling my name. I couldn't stand it anymore. Hearing him apologize to me made me feel even worse. I knew all this was causing him a lot of pain. I just wanted to distance myself from him, whenever we're in the presence of the production team, at least until the project was over, so that he would not suffer so much.

He caught up with me and grabbed my arm, pulling me to face him.

"If you're not angry with me, why are you running away from me?"

I held my head low when I was facing him. The tears that I had forced back earlier had re-emerged, and were flooding my eyes, and blurring my vision. With his hands grabbing onto my arms, I couldn't wipe them away at all. I kept blinking to try to force the tears back, but instead they overflowed out and trickled down my face.

"KIKI!!!" Jaejoong shook my shoulders.

"Stop it!!! You're hurting me!!!" I looked up and shouted at him, and attempted to struggle free from his grip.

He realised that I was crying, and immediately loosened his grip.

"Mianeyo... Did I hurt you? Mianeyo... I..." He fussed over me apologetically.

"Jaejoong... I don't want to see you getting yourself drunk over this relationship..."

"I wasn't getting drunk because of our relationship..." He argued.

Then it dawned on him. He finally remembered what had happened earlier at the restaurant.

"Whatever happened just now, it was just the alcohol..."

"If it's causing you so much trouble that you need to get yourself drunk to forget it all... I think.... it's better that... we have some time... apart..."

He stepped towards me, and grabbed my hand.

"You're just saying this out of anger... I'll disregard this... Come let's go back to the restaurant now..."

He tugged my hand and pulled me along as he walked towards the restaurant.

"Anio... Jaejoong... I'm serious... I think I should just pull out from this project and let my team leader get another PM to handle this project... Cos I don't think you can work... with me around..."

Jaejoong stopped and turned around to face me. He placed his hands on my shoulder and leaned down so that his face was level with mine.

"Anio... You don't know what you're saying..."

"I think I know what I'm doing very well..."

"Anio... You don't understand..."

"I do... You're frustrated..."

"NE!!! I'M FRUSTRATED!!!"

"And you won't be able to work like this... The only solution is for me to pull out..."

"You don't understand!!! I'm not frustrated cos you're in the project... I..."

His grip tightened around my shoulders. His eyes showed angst and despair.

"I'm frustrated with myself... cos I can't have a normal open relationship... I wanna be able to go on dates with you in public... I wanna be able to hold your hand in public... I wanna be able to hug you in public... I wanna be able to tell everyone I know that you're mine... And that I love you... Sarangheyo..."

My eyes were blurred from the tears in my eyes, and I felt my heart break when I heard what he said.

"Joongie... "

"So please... please don't talk about leaving anymore... I need you every minute, every day..."

"It's not your fault... You shouldn't torture yourself drinking like that... It's so bad for your health... It pains my heart to see you getting yourself so drunk..."

"I won't do it again... I promise... But you must promise me that you will stay on this project no matter whatever comes our way... No matter whatever others may say... Cos you know my heart belongs to you..."

I smiled, he pulled me into his arms. After hugging for awhile, I realised that we were not supposed to be doing this in public.

"Joongie!!! You're not supposed to do this in public!!!"

I struggled to push him away. But he pulled me back into his arms.

"I don't care..."

"But you promised me earlier..."

"Yeah... And you said I could do anything I wanted as long as we're not in public... But you went back on your words also... So it doesn't count..."

"What?!!! I didn't go back on my words... I just..."

"So I can do anything yeah?"

"Just let go of me already!!!"

"You haven't replied me yet..."

I made one last desperate push to push myself away from him, but to no avail.

"ARGH!!! You're bullying me...."

"No... I'm bargaining..."

He pulled himself slightly away so that he faced me.

"Since our deal earlier doesn't stand, I can do whatever I want now... So..."

He started leaning nearer and nearer to me.

"Joongie!!! Stop it!!! What do you think you're doing?!!!! AHHH!!!!"

"Isn't it obvious? I... wanna... kiss... you..."

He leaned nearer and nearer, pouting his lips. With his hands tightly around my waist, I couldn't push myself away from him much at all.

"AHHHH!!! OKAY OKAY!!!"

He stopped advancing.

"So I can do ANYTHING right?"

"YES YES YES... Just let go of me already!!!!"

He grinned cheekily, and leaned forward and gave me a very quick peck on my lips before letting go of me.

"Ha ha ha ha ha...." Jaejoong's musical laughter could be heard as he escaped from the "scene of crime", running towards the restaurant.

"AHHHH!!! NOT FAIR!!! You tricked me!!! I don't care, the deal doesn't count!!!! Get back here!!! KIM JAE JOONG!!!" I covered my lips and exclaimed, and started running towards him.

Serendipity 奇缘 - Chapter 22

Chapter 22: Drunk on love...

"At last the meeting's over!!! Shall we all go out for dinner together to get to know each other better?" the korean producer said.

"Yeh... That's a good idea!!!" TVXQ's manager Lee said.

All five of us turned and looked at my team leader anxiously. If he said 'Yes', there goes my dinner with Jaejoong... But it would seem to be rude for him to reject though...

"Yes please... Let's have dinner together... Then you guys can introduce us to some proper Korean cuisine... We haven't got time to eat any since we were here..." my team leader replied.

My heart fell. I couldn't help but show some disappointment on my face, I looked down to avoid anyone seeing my facial expression. Including Jaejoong.

"So I take it that everyone's going?" the producer asked.

"Yeh..." TVXQ's manager replied, then he turned to TVXQ, "You guys are okay for dinner right?"

"Yeh... Hyung..." they replied in unison.

"It's settled then... Shall we?" the producer stood up, and everyone started streaming out of the meeting room.

I stood up slowly and watched as the producer, TVXQ's manager and my team leader left the room first, followed by the korean team, my team, and then TVXQ... As I watched them stream out, I realised that the guys were purposely slowing down their pace so that they were walking with me. Max scooted alongside me.

"Nuna... What's happening? So are you going to work with us from now on for this project's filming" Max whispered to me softly.

"I guess so..."

"How come you didn't tell us earlier?"

"I didn't even know until just now..."

"Oh..."

Max looked at me sympathetically.

"Do we have to carry on pretending that we don't know each other?"

"Yes... I think we have to act like new acquaintances... So please don't call me nuna in front of them... Just call me by my name... Like how you address the others in my team..."

"But..."

"You can still call me nuna when we're not in public... It's okay..."

"Okay... But what about Jaejoong-hyung? Won't it be very difficult for him to..."

I looked at Max in despair and looked down as I walked. Frankly speaking, I didn't know what to do about Jaejoong. I think it would be very tough for him. Cos he tends to speak his mind, and act his own way. It'll be hard to force him to carry on the white lie for so many months. I don't know for how long would he be able to take it...

"Max, don't bother Kiki anymore... I think she's already quite flexed over this... Give her some space, okay?" Micky's whisper interupted our conversation. He had slowed down to walk alongside me and Max.

"Okay..." Max replied.

I looked down at the feet in front of me. And noticed Jaejoong was walking directly in front of me, with U-Know and Xiah beside him. My eyes moved up from his feet to his back. U-Know and Xiah had their arms over his shoulders and were whispering something to him.

"Hyung... You have to stay focused okay... Don't let this get to you... We'll be behind you... But you need to keep Kiki a secret for now... We can't let our manager know about her now... Or else we'll all get in trouble... Including her... And her team..." U-Know said, as he patted Jaejoong on his shoulder.

"Yeh hyung... You know our manager... He'll just pull out from the project, or worse... make things difficult for her on-set... To make her leave the project by herself..." Xiah added.

"I know what I need to do... But it's hard..."

"We all know it's hard for you... We're not having a good time pretending not to know her at all too... But it's all for the greater good..."

"I know..."

Jaejoong turned back and looked at me. His face had a look of despair and pain. I looked at him and gave a forced smile. He turned back and walked on with U-Know and Xiah.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At the restaurant...

The table was a long rectangular table, and we all sat in pairs opposite each other. Jaejoong had conveniently sat himself down opposite me, Max and Micky said beside me, while Xiah and U-Know said beside Jaejoong. The producer, TVXQ's manager and my team leader sat together with the other team members, since they went into the restaurant first.

Being typical Koreans, they ordered a lot of alcohol during the dinner. And everyone were getting drunk. Except me, cos I was spared as I was the only female in the entire team. Even TVXQ were not spared.

As the team were almost all drunk, I was the only one still conscious in the dining room. I was a bit worried about how I was going to get so many people back home in their drunken stupor. I shook Micky and Max who had fallen face down onto the table from drinking all the alcohol.

"Micky-ssi... Max-ssi... Wake up... Guys.... Wake up..."

They were dead to the world. I looked up at Jaejoong. He was still drinking.

"Jaejoong-ssi, you'd better stop drinking already... You're going to get drunk too..."

I reached my hand over to grab the cup from him. He flung my hand away.

"Let me drink..."

"Jaejoong-ssi!!!"

He carried on drinking. I got up from my seat and walked over to his side of the table. I tried to grab the cup from him again. But again, he flung away my hand.

"Jaejoong-ssi, you'd better stop drinking..."

"Just let me drink..."

I was infuriated. I didn't like the Jaejoong that was drinking himself to a drunken stupor.

"If you carry on drinking, I'm going to leave all of you here by yourselves... I don't care anymore..."

He was still drinking. So I stormed out from the dining room, all the way out of the restaurant.

"Why is it that men always have to drink themselves until such a horrible state? They know they'll get a blasting headache from the hangover tomorrow. And it's so bad for health..." I thought to myself, as I paced up and down the entrance of the restaurant.

The door of the restaurant opened noisily, and a drunk Jaejoong staggered as he struggled to walk out of the restaurant. I looked at him as he walked towards me. Angry with the way he had gotten himself so drunk, I turned my back and started walking away from him.

"Kiki... Kiki... Wait for me..."

I ignored him and continued walking away from him. Jaejoong was annoyed, he struggled to give chase to catch up with me, but his limps were not listening to him in his drunken state, and he tripped and fell.

I carried on walking for a while, until I stopped hearing Jaejoong's calls, and I felt strange and turned back to take a look. Then I saw that he had collapsed onto the ground. I ran back to him and tried to pull him up from the ground.

"Jaejoong, are you okay? Are you hurt? Can you get up?"

He looked at me in his drunken state. And he tried to pull himself up from the ground with my help, but ended up pulling me down together with him onto the ground.

I landed on him, so immediately I tried to pull myself up and to help him back up.

"Jaejoong... Can you get up? Are you okay?" I asked worriedly.

He looked at me as I attempted with all my might to pull him up again. His hand reached for my face. When his hand touched my face, I looked at him in surprise. I was too engrossed with helping him up to realise that he was looking at me.

"Jaejoong? Are you conscious? Or are you drunk?"

He looked at me and smiled, "I'm drunk... But not from alcohol..."

"Huh?" I asked blurly.

"I'm drunk... from loving you..."

He leaned nearer to me. I backed away.

"Jaejoong... We're out in the public... You can't..."

"CAN'T CAN'T CAN'T!!!! WHAT CAN WE DO IN PUBLIC?!!!" He shouted and waved his hands around drunkenly.

"Jaejoong... Lower your voice... you don't want everyone to look at us..."

"LET THEM LOOK IF THEY WANT!!! I DON'T CARE!!!"

"Jaejoong!!! If you continue like this, I'm going to walk off and leave you here by yourself..."

I got up.

"KAJIMA!!! DON'T LEAVE!!! Don't leave me..."

He grabbed my arm and pushed himself up with all his might to a standing position behind me. He struggled to stand in front of me, and grabbed me by my shoulders.

"Kajima... Don't... leave.... me... please... I can't..."

He stared at me with a pleading look in his watery eyes.

"Jaejoong... I'm only saying that I'm leaving the drunken you here... I'm not..." I tried to explain to him.

And he collapsed into my arms from his drunken stupor. I struggled, as I could hardly hold him up in a standing position. I struggled to help him to a nearby bench and after I sat down, he lied his head onto my lap.

"Jaejoong... You can't do this... We're in public!!! Jaejoong!!!"

I tried to pull him to sit upright. But he turned and grabbed me around my waist instead.

"Kajima... Don't.... leave.... me... I... can't... live.... without... you..." he murmured in his drunken stupor.

When I heard what he murmured, I released my hands from his, and tears started building in my eyes.
