Chapter 5: 'Misconceptions of This'

[The Aftermath]

It's been nearly a month since Minho asked me out. It's been extreme tough juggling him and work but we've both been working very hard to make time for one another. Whenever Minho isn't in front of the camera, he makes it a point to contact me. Whether it's where I am, what i'm doing or who i'm with, he is always keeping tabs on me. I'm not really sure if its him being controlling or him just looking after me (Korean guys are different). I mean in the same breath, I'd be lying if I said that I didn't ask him the same list of questions. In my defense though, am I wrong? He's a member of an extremely popular and successful boy group in Korea. He's famous all over the world and is a household name. He has to have girls swooning over him all hours of the day. Who's to say that he won't do something scandalous with one of them. Me? I'm just another foreigner running around trying to fit in and do my job. I'm no where near special, and my name isn't synonymous with 'beautiful' either. I think this insecurity is creating a rift between him and I. Whenever I he contacts me at late hours of the night, I can't help but feel like another one of his girls. Am I just another 'Bootycall'? Or maybe not. Maybe thats just the only time he's available to contact me? I'm not sure how to feel. I know I have strong feelings for him, or I wouldn't even bother to get myself all bent out of shape. I have no clue what to do or how I feel. I need to see him in person and figure this all out.

[His Point of View]

The days we've been together are rising every day. It's unbelievable to think that I finally have someone I can call mine. She works so hard all the time, I feel bad. I try to contact her whenever I get a chance so that I can take her mind off of her endless list of objectives. I think that upsets her, but I only do it because I care for her. I've been so busy lately, I haven't been able to give her all of my time (or any for that matter). I think she's beginning to feel neglected. I have to get my act together, I can't lose her, especially because of something so minor like this. I can say though, that being away from her has really shown me how much I care for her. No matter the distance. To be honest, I think the larger the distance, the more I care for her. I mean now that i'm in Japan for further promotions, I'm going crazy. At first I thought it was home sickness, but no. She's the only one I think about. The boys have been teasing me because I've been zoning out frequently. I just hope that when I get home it wont be too late.

[Welcome Back!]

Today's the day. Minho comes back from his promotions in Japan. I've missed him but the distance has been tough. He told me He wanted to see me as soon as he landed-- I agreed.

"Do you want to just watch a movie or something? I bet you'll be tired after the flight." I questioned through text message.

"I'm ok. Do you want to maybe just go for a walk?"

"Won't people recognize you?" I replied.

"I don't care if people see me with you...you know that" he proclaimed.

"I don't want to get you in trouble, and thats just what will come from that if you get seen."

"Don't worry about me, thats my job." he said.

"It's not just you I have to worry about. The boys, my internship. Those are all things at risk with us dating so openly."

"I've got the perfect idea. Don't worry anymore, just get me and we'll go to the coffee shop I brought you to that night. I'll see you then. ~안녕! (Annyeong; Bye)" he boasted.

What was that all about. He can't be so ridiculous as to think that we could ever walk the street together. It'd be the end of both of us. Were not just any normal couple. He's a superstar, and I'm a foreign commoner. I'm curious to see what tricks he has up his sleeve. The coffee shop? How long is he gonna milk that place? I guess I'll find out.
