Summary: A realization of Jiyoon in the darkness.
Disclaimer: I got a Jiyoon photocard, is that okay to own her? Okay... it seems not.
"Dead. It looks so dead. I feel so dead looking at it."
Jiyoon came out of their dorm and sat down at the nearest bench that night. The night was dark. Of course it always has been dark but, that night seemed to be darker for her. Maybe, maybe because this was the first time she noticed how darkness could be painful? She moved her head upward, searching for a hopeful star but all she could see was the large tree beside the bench. It was too big she thought, too big for her vision that its already blocking any possible signs of star that could help her escape the darkness.
She stared at its branches and leaves, "Dead. It looks so dead. I feel dead looking at it."
She moved her head again, this time setting her long gaze at the darkness along the alley. She imagined the darkness slowly enveloping her, sure it felt lonely. She then heaved a large amount of oxygen.
"Ah…even the air tastes so bitter tonight."
"Babo. The tree looks dead simply because it's dead. And air? What are you? A sponge?"
And yes, there was her best-friend Gayoon, gate-crashing her emo party with the dead tree, the darkness and herself.
"Oh, hey there…" Was all she could say to her which the other took as an approval to join her emo party. They sat side by side of the bench.
"I don't know when the blackout will end and it annoys me that Sohyun and Hyunah are enjoying Jihyun's horror stories." Gayoon downed her head and looked at her feet.
"Creepy. You're usually the one who loves to scare those two." Jiyoon stared at her feet too.
"Well, now I don't. And…" Gayoon paused for a while, and then narrowed her eyes on Jiyoon's feet.
"It's you whom I should call creepy. You're talking to yourself and saying… creepy things."
Creepy.. The certain word lingered in Jiyoon's ears and played around in her thoughts…
It was really a boring day for her. Yes, toxic schedules were a help for their stairway to fandom and she was getting used to it, like now. They were on the set of Bouquet and there she was, zoning out like it wasn't yet time to film.
Her mind was busy on something, yet related to that episode,
"Why do people on the set expect a high rating just because we have guys as guests on our show? I really don't understand it. Yeah. A flower, a sweet song and a handsome guy can make a girl's blood pressure higher, but how can it turn the ratings high too? I know this show is supposed to showcase women empowerment and at the same time, empower our fan numbers too." She chuckled at that selfish thought.
Well, she really didn't have negative thoughts about the opposite sex. It's just she didn't see them as what the usual girls would. She couldn't really explain what she feels towards them. It's just-
The screaming threw her senses back at her and it quite irritated her because it was going louder and higher at the same time. She wondered why…
The next thing she saw was a flower and a handsome guy singing a sweet song in front of her.
And in return, all she did was to show a shock face, a "For me? For real? Thank you." Dialogue and a ninety-degree bow.
She could feel her cheeks burning right after that moment and still after the filming ended. Maybe because she was also teasing herself, replaying it on her memory while sticking a permanent smile on her face.
Well, what more could make her cheeks blush than a close-up conversation with the guy?
"Annyeong." Sunggyu bowed his head. Jiyoon also noticed his ears flaming,nervous perhaps? "Then, he deserved another aegyo." she thought.
"Uhm, I really enjoyed the filming with you. I hope to work with you again…and soon."
And by that, Jiyoon's feelings towards the opposite sex became complicated…and creepy.
"Okay. I accept the fact that I'm creepy." Jiyoon glimpsed Gayoon and frowned, if there's someone to blame for her creepiness then that would be that guy.
"Hahaha! Jiyoonit." Gayoon awkwardly laughed. Being one of the 2yoon duo, she knew what Jiyoon felt. "Don't take it seriously. Besides, you have your charisma..."
And really, what happened to her charisma? Ever since she noticed the guy's fondness to her Aegyo, she practiced and focused on it more. Why? She doesn't know. But she did know that Sunggyu made her ten times more beautiful everytime they're together…
"I'm happy that we got the chance to stay together longer. The games made us closer, I think. And I got to see more of your Aegyo. " Sunggyu sheepishly smiled which made Jiyoon's blood rush all through her cheeks again.
"It was nice to be partnered with you and I'm sorry if I'm heavy." Jiyoon talked about a certain part of the film where Sunggyu piggy-backed her.
"Oh, no! You're actually light. By the way…" Sunggyu picked out something from his pocket which Jiyoon somewhat anticipated. What could that be? A flower? Something sweet? Something…
"Would you mind if I get your number?"
"Oh…Sure sure." She typed the digits of her cellphone number.
She lowered down her head, feeling ashamed for her own silly and aggressive thought yet, she was happy on what he did.
At least he made a move…
Jiyoon sighed and looked up again, "You know, it was my first time. It really was my first time." A sad little smile appeared on her face.
"I really am not familiar with all the feelings he would usually make me feel. It's really creepy for me but I like it."
She paused for a while when she heard "Nothing better" coming from her pocket. She looked at her phone and saw Hyunah's name. She was calling.
"The ice cream? Yeah. Sure eat it.. Yes, it's yours."
"Isn't this the first official idol couple?" The tv said, no. The mc's said which, could be heard from the tv.
Jiyoon was having a hard time thinking on how to kill her time that day. Since their manager said that it was their free day. She wanted to do so many things in her mind and she was confused on what to do first. But when she saw a familiar face flashing on the tv screen, she decided to join the girls in the living room.
She intently watched this certain guy while he sang a particular song which used to be her favorite ringtone. She closely watched this certain guy while he held the girl's hands which used to be her most romantic scene. She seriously watched this certain guy while he made the girl's cheeks redden-exactly the way he did to her.
She waited for someone to talk. She waited for someone who would outrage on what they just saw. She waited for someone who would say, "Okay, who's gonna throw a big chicken poop on his face?" She waited for someone to talk...
But the tv went off and all of them disappeared in the said room. Jiyoon stayed still on her position and for once, timed her clock for an emo party…
After the conversation with Hyunah, the emo party started again as silence danced between the two. For Jiyoon, there's really no words needed when it came to her first heart-break. Whether on explaining how it happened or how will it heal. Silence could only answer that.
"Oh, wait... so that's why the tv went off? And everything seemed darker? I mean no electricity? Blackout?"
Jiyoon suddenly asked Gayoon.
