lee hongbin/jung soyeon - "my heart races only when i'm in front of you."

Soyeon is slowly getting used to meeting fellow idols backstage and she doesn't tremble as much as she once did while greeting sunbaenims. She has, slowly but certainly, learnt how to handle the amazement that she used to feel when she stumbled upon celebrities whom she used to fawn over a few years ago.

Now, she is even able smile to back at them without avoiding their eyes when they cross paths in hallways and upon their departure, her chest doesn't feel as an imaginary weight has been lifted off her chest anymore.

Except for one.

Lee Hongbin is handsome, but then so are many of the boy groups members that she has met. He's friendly and nice and just pleasant to be around but so are many boys in general.

But he's also different, because he's the only one who makes her heart races and when he smiles at her, it's not that weight that gets off her chest. No, it's her heart that gets out of it.

Someday, she guesses, she will give it to him. After all, it's already his.

jung taekwoon/jung hyerim (eunji) - "our love was made for movie screens."

It's almost cliché, their love. A romance made for movie screens and teenage girls with their head in the clouds and daydream during class of a prince charming who will sweep them of their feet.

She's the sweetheart of the town, an angel of kindness who sings in the choir of the town and attends mass every Sunday, without exception.

He doesn't go to church, doesn't even believe in God and he ignores all the whispers that follows him when he rides his motorcycle through town, decked in the same leather jacket and combat boots that he always seems to wear. He ignores it all, the whispers and the stares of people too afraid to even look into his sharp eyes.

Jung Eunji and Jung Taekwoon. Two teenagers of seventeen who have nothing in common, except a surname that makes them share a locker in a rural high school.

And that’s how everything starts.

It happens on a warm, sunny day of May and Eunji leaving him a short note - in pretty looped cursive penmanship that is so hers - as she borrows his physics textbook after noticing that she has forgotten hers. The next day, she makes sure to put his book back in its place and she leaves a few candies on top of it, strawberry-flavored ones because it’s her favorite.

Taekwoon doesn't start acknowledging her after that, never even mentions his textbook disappearing or the sweets she has left for him but Eunji doesn’t care and her smile never leaves her face because she doesn't want anything from him in the least, has never expected anything to come out of this.

The pocket of his leather jacket is always full of candy wrappers when she puts new ones in it - between the second and third period, when she's sure he's on the other side of the school and won't be there to witness what she's doing - and this makes her realize that Jung Taekwoon, the silent senior she has never talked more than three words to, has a sweet tooth (has a sweet side, too).

He likes them enough that one day, it's her who finds a couple of lemon candies stacked on top of her thick textbooks. Lemon, she supposes, is his favorite flavor and she smiles to herself as she unwraps one and puts it in her mouth. Tangy, sour with a sweet aftertaste. It's strangely fitting, strangely Taekwoon.

Everything after that day happen naturally - the shy smiles they flash each other when they stand in front of their locker in the morning and the mumbled greetings in his soft voice and her unusually shy one, the first time he gets her home as the rain downpours on them and her chest fits against his back so perfectly, their first date at a park two cities over because he doesn't want her to be the talk of the town for the weeks to come.

Before they know it, Taekwoon is graduating and Eunji knows that he will leave, leave this place that has never accepted him, leave her and an eight months teenage romance that wasn't meant to be more than that - a silly romance that girls her age gush over and can't stop thinking about.

And Taekwoon indeed leaves for Seoul once August ends, ready to leave the past behind to chase after his dreams of being an artist.

He goes away but he doesn't leave empty-handed. He's taking the jewel of the town with him, the jewel of his heart, too.

It's a silly romance, a perfect plot for movies but as she presses against his back and they speed towards new horizons, Eunji knows that this is real. This is a real love story.

lee hongbin/na haeryeong - "You know those cheesy love stories where the shy not prefect girl gets the amazing guy who isn't a douche and they fall in love and get married and all? Why can't we all be in those stories."

Na Haeryeong can't imagine a life without Lee Hongbin in it, can't even start thinking of a life without the one whom she calls her best friend by her side.

Their friendship started as the beginning of a cheesy romance story between two teenagers that only high school girls would read. They have been neighbours since birth and all her memories involve the dimpled man who is standing in front of her and is getting ready for a date with his girlfriend of almost six months, Jung Soyeon.

“Are you going to introduce her to your parents?” Haeryeong asks, lying on his friend’s bed as she watches him remove his blue t-shirt to try on a pristine white shirt instead. Hongbin’s roommate, a blue haired guy named Wonshik, has just left their dorm in order for the two childhood friends alone to catch up.

They haven't seen each other in a week and it's the longest time they have spent without talking in years. She had hoped for something better than this when she came in though, had wished for night in with the both of them cuddled on his bed and marathoning dramas, the acting majors they were mimicking the awkward acting they were victims of while trying to keep straight faces. But this isn't happening, not with Soyeon in the picture and she inwardly wonders if it will ever happen again (if that girl will forever be there, between Hongbin and her.)

“I like the white shirt better,” she quickly adds, crossing her fingers behind her back in a hope that he hasn’t heard the jealousy in her voice. He looks perfect either way is what she really wants to say but she doesn’t. It’s not her place, they’re best friends and nothing else and she closes her eyes as the thought hit her deep, deeper than she would have liked. Their friendship wasn’t supposed to hurt like this.

Hongbin just hums, smoothing his shirt with the palm of his hand. “Soon, I guess. Soyeon has been bugging me to do so for the longest time but-” “But?” Haeryeong echoes, wondering if there’s something happening that she isn’t aware of, wondering if maybe, her heart will stop hurting soon.

“But I will have to get your approval first. You’re the second woman of my life, after all.” The sigh coming out of her lips doesn’t escape him this time and he joins her on his bed, lying on his side so he can see her face but she's hiding it from his view and ignores the frown on his face she knows is there. "What's up with you?" He nudges her shoulder softly, frowning even deeper as she still doesn't look at him, doesn't smile either.

"Bin-ah," she starts, her eyes looking everywhere but at him. "You know those cheesy love stories where the shy not perfect girl gets the amazing guy who isn't a douche and they fall in love and they get married and all?" She doesn't wait for an answer as she continues, eyes closed to not see the curiosity in his eyes and too afraid he will see the longing in hers. "This... I want this, too. I want to be loved and happy and give my heart-"

Haeryeong hears him chuckle before he pats his hair and gets up to finish getting ready, not letting her finish. "Are you jealous, Ryeongie?" She doesn't answer, doesn't know how to answer. Her heart hurts so much she's ready to give it to him but something has always hold her back. "It happened to me, it will happen to you too, soon!"

This is what has always hold her back - the fact that she knew her heart would never be cared for, would always be tramped on by him without a second thought.

Lee Hongbin isn’t a douche, but he never hears the ”I want it to happen to me. With you.” that she whispers while looking at her fidgeting hands in her lap.

He doesn’t because he is gone, off to meet his shy and perfect girl. Jung Soyeon.

Lee Hongbin is an amazing guy, but Na Haeryeong doesn’t have her place in his love story.
