Like A Star (별처럼)

chapter four.

"Hyung, did you hear? SNSD's Taeyeon's back."

Chansung told Wooyoung.

"Yes I've heard."

He replied as he fixed his bangs in front of the mirror.

"It seems like you don't even care."

Junho butted in the conversation.

"Good thing you know."

Wooyoung didn't care about Taeyeon anymore. He realized this 3 years ago, right after that Strong Heart filming.

"If she doesn't love me, then be it. I don't love her too."

Wooyoung turned back to look at the guys.

"If you don't mind, I'm going somewhere for a while."

The 2PM members continued on with what they were doing while Wooyoung left their dorm.

"And they really didn't mind."

"Hyesun-ah. You stay here in umma's dressing room. You're safe in here so don't leave."

Taeyeon told her daughter. Hyesun insisted that she wanted to watch her umma film a show so she came in the KBS Building with her.

"I need to go for a while. Be careful okay?"

Hyesun nodded and followed what her umma told her. She sat patiently on the couch and played with her Nintendo DS.

Minutes later.

"Umma?"

Hyesun kept her NDS as she went down the couch looking for her umma.

"Umma, I need to go potty!"

She tried knocking on doors but she got no response.

"Umma, I can't hold it anymore!"

She managed to open the door, as she walked out of her umma's dressing room trying to look for her. She was walking in the hallways until she bumped her head on someone's leg, causing her to fall on her bum.

"Ow!"

Hyesun pouted. The person she bumped into bent down and checked if she was okay.

"I'm sorry, little one. Did I hurt you?"

"I need my umma."

The guy smiled.

"What's your umma's name? I might know her and I could take you to her."

"Umma told me not to tell strangers her name."

The guy chuckled a bit.

"You're a cute guy. I wish you were my dad."

"Don't say that. Your dad might get upset if he heard you."

"Umma said I don't have a dad."

"What? That's impossible. Every person has their own dad."

"Well, not me..."

The cuteness of the little girl made the man laugh a bit more. He felt like he's known her for a long time already.

"I don't know your name yet."

"Well, umma said not to tell my name to strangers too."

"Am I still a stranger? Can I be your friend?"

Hyesun immediately nodded with a huge grin on her face.

"I'm Hyesun, Jang Hyesun!"

Hyesun proudly told the guy.

"Now isn't that a coincidence? We have the same surname! My name's Jang Wooyoung!"

"Wow! But my umma's surname is different. I don't know why. Her surname is actually -"

"Hyesun-ah!"

The little girl was startled hearing her umma's voice.

"That's my umma! I need to go! See you later Wooyoung-ajussi!"

Hyesun quickly ran away from Wooyoung and ran back to her umma's dressing room. Wooyoung stood up and walked away as soon as he saw the little girl leave.

"Jang Hyesun where have you been?!"

Hyesun knew her umma was mad. She slowly walked back to the corner of the room trying to hide herself.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to shout at you. I was just worried."

Taeyeon went to her daughter and she hugged her tightly.

"Sorry umma. I just wanted to go to the comfort room."

Taeyeon broke their hug as she brushed her daughter's long, brunette hair, same as her own.

"Come, let umma take you there."

--

"Hyesun-ah, are you done?"

Taeyeon asked from outside the comfort room. Just right after, Hyesun came out.

"Umma, you know, I met this ajussi."

"Didn't I tell you not to talk to strangers?" Taeyeon told her.

"Nope! You only told me not to tell strangers our names. That's a different thing, umma!"

Taeyeon was shocked by her daughter's comeback. She thought that she must've gained this talent from Seohyun.

"Fine. It's just a good thing that this ajussi didn't hurt you."

"I bumped into his leg when I was looking for you. Then he said sorry and we talked a bit. Then he told me his name!"

"Really? What was his name?" Taeyeon asked.

Taeyeon was proud to have a smart kid like Hyesun. She was only 3, yet she knew how to communicate with others.

"His name was... Woo... Wooyoung I think? Then I also told him my name."

"WHAT?! You told Wooyoung your name?!"

Hyesun was scared that her mom was shouting again. She hugged her umma's leg and said sorry.

"It's okay Hyesun-ah. I was just shocked. Just don't talk to that guy ever again, okay? He might be a bad man you know."

Hyesun just nodded thinking her umma knows what's best for her.

--

Taeyeon has finished filming and was on her way to her dressing room to fetch her daughter when she passed by him again. She was expecting him to come to her and talk. But today was different. It was like she wasn't even there. He just continued on his walk and ignored her.

"Wooyoung-ah..."

She didn't dare follow him anymore. She needed to take her daughter away from this building before he sees them again.
