Damned Star (Completed)

Sheet 15

Why am I so worried?

I knew this was coming, but right now why am I feeling this?

Everything might be happening too fast yet I knew it was coming.

It was coming. 

Singer, Songwriter Park Yoochun’s official whereabouts disclosed, just days after news broke out that the star was spotted in a remote area in Seoul. The press finally found his exact location last night. Yoochun is currently staying at an old apartment house in the Daejo neighborhood within Eunpyeong district. Unfortunately the singer-songwriter refused to answer the media’s questions and according to photos taken yesterday, he was seen with a woman around his age heading towards the apartment. Many speculate the two are in a romantic relationship, however some others believe she was just a close friend of the star. And in other showbiz news…

 

“Hey.” I informally greeted the star and pursued, “I saw the--” but he instantly cut me off, “the news.”

“Yeah, people have been calling and text messaging me non-stop.” Yoochun added.

I noticed him securing his door with brand new locks. He found me staring and said, “I just need to make sure no one else gets to enter my unit but me. It sucks how this apartment doesn’t have those electronic locks. I have to manually install my own.”

With a straight face I asked, “So you’re still staying?”

He paused from screwing the nails and faced me, “What do you mean?”

My eyes looked down and I meekly muttered, “The media knows where you are now. I thought you would plan on finding a more ‘peaceful’ place when they found out you live here. ”

“I-I’m not leaving. Who told you I would?” he chuckled.

“No one.” I replied blankly.

The star’s smile faded, “Well, I am not leaving… yet.”

So he is moving out, just not now.

“I am immune with the paparazzi always being around, although I don’t think the people here and around the area would like it. I don’t want you to be disturbed by them in any way. You guys should continue living normally. So as of now, I’m staying but I’ll have to go soon.” Yoochun explained.

“I can try.” I gulped, “I can try to get used to them. You don’t have to find a new home.”

The star dropped everything in his hands and grabbed my shoulders lightly, “It’s not only about you Minah, there can be other people involved. For the past couple of months the people in this neighborhood have been nice to me and treated me like I was no idol at all, so to return the favor I don’t think I should let the press interrupt them with their lives.”

I bit my lips, “I-I could ask them to compromise…” all I could utter were selfish statements.

“I’m sorry I really need to...” Yoochun drew closer and locked me in an embrace. I wanted to cry out my frustration but I couldn’t.

“We can still see each other you know.” He ended and carefully released me.

It’s just not the same Park Yoochun. It’s just not the same without you.

“Come on cheer up.” He gave a pat on my shoulder.

How can I tell you how I feel about you if you’re going to leave soon? I am still too scared to confess right now.
