SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA

" EL ENTERTAINMENT released the news today. They have already found the lucky girl to sing Slaven's song. The contest they opened two months ago, 'Come Back To Me Slaven', is in line with the hottest international singer's big come back.

The contest is open to all of Slaven's fans who wished for Slaven to return to the entertainment scene. Thousands of fans posted videos of them singing Slaven's most popular song 'Come Back To Me'.

The winner aside from grabbing ten thousand dollars in cash, gets to spend two precious week with Slaven. Spending quality time with Slaven during meetings, rehearsals, recording of the song, and maybe dinners and fun time as a fan with her idol. Isn't she just lucky?

EL Productions Head Park Joo-In said that the girl was the only one approved by Slaven among thousands of videos they have screened.

Name of the winner withheld to heighten excitement of fans. But Park Shinye, Promotions Assistant Head, who was caught leaving for the airport, said she is going out of the country to fetch the 'lucky girl'. That would give us the idea that she's from outside the country. She further said, that they still have some convincing to do. And if they're not successful? Slaven himself will do the task. One lucky girl isn't she?

We will get to know the girl more once the team comes back from their travel outside the country. An insider leaked to us that the girl is Asian but not Korean. Oh...the Korean fans will surely envy the girl- Slaven choose himself.

Moving on - ."

Slaven turned off the plasma tv and stood up from the sofa he was sitting on. He went to his floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the city before him. He used to hate heights but now he thought, it isn't too bad afterall.

Two days, he hasn't heard news from Shinye yet. How it is going with the girl? He admits he's really curious about her, to meet her in person, to hear her sing up close. Would it be different? Would he still feel the same overwhelming feeling everytime he listens to the song? He's nuts! He've never played the song on 'repeat' before even if it is his favorite among all his songs. He only listened to it over again when he was still rehearsing for the recording of the song. And now, the girl's version of his song is on 'repeat' on his player. He knows he's not attracted to her, she's an ordinary beauty like any other girl he had met. But her voice, and the way she sings? Definitely one of a kind. Whatever the enchantment it has to convince him to come back?

He wants to call Shinye right now and asks how it's been going. But that Shinye would just tease him. Surely, she'll think he is excited on meeting the girl. He'd just wished she'd call to at least give him a heads up on what's been going on in the Philippines.

His phone rings. He took it out from his jacket's pocket and happily took the call, thinking it was Shinye on the other end calling.

" Yeoboseyo?" He smile to himself. The smile immediately faded when he recognized the caller's voice.

" Anyeong Choi-a. Yosae ottoke jinaeseyo?" He gritted his teeth and hiss back scourn at the caller. It is his ex-girlfriend, Hyeje.

"Se ki.." he cursed.

" Waeyo? I saw the news, is it true? Are you really coming back? Haengbok' aeyo - "
