Damned Star (Completed)

Sheet 16 (The Finale)

"Please, can you take off your disguise? Or at least lose the wig?"
"If I do, people might recognize me now much faster. Don't you want peace?"

"Peace? I can't be at peace seeing you in that unflattering wig." I clicked my tongue.
Yoochun drew closer, "Does it really look bad on me?" he whispered.
I looked at him straight in his eyes and nodded firmly.

"I guess I need to change my look." The star agreed as he cautiously glanced at his reflection from a store's huge glass window.
"Why bother? We are heading home anyway."
After my statement, I felt Yoochun suddenly halting. I slowly spun around and saw him staring at me.

"Yah, is something wrong?"
"Nothing... it's still early, I think we should walk more." He ended and instantly went off a different direction.

"Yah! Where are you going?"
Why are you making it harder for me Yoochun? I don't want to be fully attached to you... I might not have the courage to let you go.

"If you want to catch me you better use those feet of yours!" the star shouted vibrantly as he ran.

As if I was stunned, I froze in place and watched him go. Is this the state I'll be in when that day comes? No matter how hard I tried my feet wouldn't move. Does this mean I shouldn't follow you Park Yoochun?

"Yah! Look who's the Ahjumma here! You can't even run?" Yoochun exclaimed.
Should I follow you?
"What are you doing standing there? Come on Minah!" the star shot me a genuine smile.
Despite that horrid wig, I can still appreciate your warming grin.
"Aish. Why are you being difficult?" he sprinted back towards me.

"I-I... I am just cold." What an excuse.
"Really? Why didn't you tell me?" he replied and gently placed his coat over my shoulders, "Let's get some coffee to warm you up."

~•~•~•~•~

"Here." The star handed me a cup of warm coffee.
"Thank you." I slightly bowed.

"You still feel cold?" he queried.
I bobbed my head from left to right.
"Just in case..." Yoochun gently wrapped his scarf around my neck.

"I am fine. Really..." I reassured him I made an attempt to take it off but he stopped me.
"Your face tells me otherwise." He replied.

I guess no matter how hard I try, I won't be able to fully hide my emotions in front of him.
"If you want to share it, I'll listen." The star ended and then, fell silent.

I did not say a word. Him, looking so calm like that, staring someplace else as to not put me in an awkward position, made me want to tell my thoughts, but then again, I can't help but just cherish this moment that I believe won't happen again.

~•~•~•~•~

"I thought we will never get pass them. They are everywhere." The star sighed in relief as we entered the apartment house through the fire exit.

"They are really nosy huh." I chuckled.
Yoochun stared at me, "Finally you laughed," and ended with a smile.
"I'll be going ahead now." I pointed the staircase and slowly walked away from him.

"Wait."
I turned around, "Yes?"
"Can I sing you a song?"
What? Sing me a song? Why?

He shot me another grin and headed up to his unit. I, still clueless, followed him anyway. The star stood near his grand piano and showed me a DVD case. The star claimed he has been watching the series and fell in love with one particular song. He decided to learn it and wanted me to hear his cover first.

Yoochun gently sat on the chair and pulled up the fall board. He scanned the white keys and lightly brushed his fingers over it. Before officially beginning he tried humming the tune a bit to check the condition of his voice. With all the mini preparations done, he started.
