The Sky and You

Chapter 2: His Point of View

“Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Oppa~aaaaaaaaaaaaa, oh my gosh,” she cried while trying to muffle her scream. Tears were falling from her eyes but he could still see her beautiful, bright eyes- the same pair that he saw a few days ago.

Jang Keun Suk hates the cold but he also likes taking a stroll during winter, for he can go anywhere and nobody will recognize him, especially in Japan. He is famous in Japan that is why he can’t go sightseeing quietly without anyone following him. But during winter when the weather is cold, he can walk outside, wearing thick clothes, wrap himself from head to foot and nobody would care if he looks like a walking mummy. It’s fun. He loves the attention but sometimes, there are just days when he would appreciate a quiet personal time, alone, just like that day. And that day was a nice day for a walk.

A few weeks after the Team H Yokohama concert, he and a few friends went back to Japan to have a nice well deserved vacation. But that day he left everyone in the hotel and decided to have a walk alone.

First stop is Tokyo Tower. He has been up the tower for a lot of times, he couldn’t count in his hands and feet anymore but the atmosphere and view is still as breathtaking as if it was the first.

After enjoying a cup of coffee, he decided to go up to the top deck. A few tourist  came in and he joined them trying to blend himself in. Though he was a lot taller than the ahjumma’s and the other ladies inside the lift, it made him smile a little when nobody realized it was him behind them, though he couldn't help wonder if some of them are eels.

Three young girls then invited themselves into the elevator. They looked like middle school girls out on a field trip. One of them is a girl wearing a beret and was busy fixing her long layered hair in the mirror walls. The other two, one with short hair and the other with long straight black hair, are busy going over their photos taken at the Skywalk window, where they are 150 meters above the ground. They were talking in fast pace with a language he has never heard but they sound very excited. He can’t help but find them very amusing.

A few more people joined them and it made him even closer and squeezed to the girls. One of them, the pretty one with long black hair, suddenly looked up to him and met his eyes. Through his dark glasses he could still see her very clearly and she is really pretty even with crease suddenly appearing on her forehead but he was preoccupied with the pair of beautiful, big, brown eyes looking back at him and its making him smile.

The next thing he knew, he was looking away and she looked away too.  For whatever reason he became conscious and he didn’t know why.

“Oh, what happened to you?” He heard the short haired girl said. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the long haired girl massaged her temple and bit her lips. He don’t know what’s happening but he found it sexy when she did it. What the hell are you thinking Keun Suk? he scolded himself. Looking back again at the girl, she doesn’t look too well, her face turning pale, her lips still bitten and her brows furrowed.

“I’m getting sick”, she said and the girl with a beret looked at him but immediately looked away too. Why? Is there something wrong with me? he thought. He tried smelling himself secretly, Mmm I smell good, so good actually, he thought praising his favorite perfume. The pretty girl next to him was already holding on for support to the girl with the short hair. He got really curious, he wanted to ask what is wrong but the lift suddenly opened and the girls jumped out of it before he could even speak.

Out on the deck, he saw them enjoying themselves with the breathtaking view of Mount Fuji. The pretty girl who was sick seemed to be feeling well already. She was smiling again with her friends and she has a very nice smile and he liked it. Wait… What? What am I even thinking? he tried shaking his thoughts off when all of a sudden the girl looked in his direction. A crease appeared on her forehead again and a frown on her face. She started wrinkling her nose as if she smelled something bad then looked away.
