BACK TO THE PRESENT TOPIC

Baek Hee: Then what about you Yoojin, Rian is an actress and she is oblige to shoot kissing scenes, don’t you feel jealous on it?

Rian: He is! (She immediately answered)

Yoojin: Yah, I’m not, why would I?

Rian: Aishhh, then why you didn’t watch my kissing scenes?

Yoojin: You want me to punch all your leading man? (Everyone laugh again)

Ailee: But I’m still curious with your first kiss together? You know, those lovey dovey moments when you are pretending couples are all true? How does it started anyway? When did it happen?

Rian: (She look Yoojin first, not so sure if she wanted to share that to their friends but then she said) It happened here in KIRIN.

Nana: What you mean? When were still students here?

RIan: (Nodding) During our graduation.

Flashback

Clad in her graduation robes, she found herself, trying to get away from the crowd. While the others opted to go out and celebrate, she wanted sometime alone. She needed a moment alone, away from her peers. Aimlessly wandering around, until she realized that she remained rooted to a spot, staring at the view of the town. Feeling her legs wearing, she decided to take a seat.

Due to Super Idol competitions, the school decided to speed up the graduation ceremony and most seniors participated (forced) the ceremony, despite not really graduating until next month. With each senior being called out to the stage, arrayed in their respective robes, went to take their diploma certificates from the principal via the director until the line of seniors began to thin out.

When the parents had left, the seniors and teachers went to their respective dormitories, the auditorium had grown silent and the remaining seniors were the former Super Idols contestants. JB suggested that they celebrate at the nearest restaurant on two grounds; one to host Shin Haesung’s farewell party and the second was to celebrate the end of their brutal rivalry and the beginning of a good friendship. They cheered on the idea and went out, except Rian who claimed that she would be with them in a while after she gets her head sorted out.

Life’s funny. She actually won the competition, thanks to the lyrics provided by him, that impossible rock star wannabe. She may have modified a little, but that was just a minor modification. They actually made a good team. Maybe, if this Super Idol doesn’t work out, she could try her hand and form a duet with him. If he refused, she could either try blackmailing (after all, she still has those embarrassing photographs) or recruit him as her lyricist, JB as a composer and go solo. 

Rian glanced briefly at the lower ground, seeing her friends leaving the school grounds to head to a Japanese restaurant. A small smile formed on her lips as she took note of the happiness written on their faces. She counted about eight heads; they were missing a head. “Ha, maybe that idiot locked himself in the toilet again. Teacher Yang would rescue him in- she gazed at the school clock. –five minutes.” The smile on her face faded the instant she thought of him. She absentmindedly gave her robes a stare.

It made her felt a little guilty for winning. She encouraged JB to perform (so did Haesung and that stupid rocker) and proved to himself that he could no longer dance like he used to, in front of a live audience. Besides that, that foolish rocker fulfilled his promise to make her win this competition, another reason for her to feel guilty.
