The Sky and You

Chapter 27: Moonless Night

"What is wrong with you Na Young?" Kurt sternly asked. He couldn't hide the disappointment in his voice however he still tried to approach her as calmly as he can.

After everything that had happened, Kurt could already guess the culprit behind the leaked photos and the poser accounts and he was actually fuming with anger on the way to her house.

"Why? Why does it matter? It's not even a lie..." she rebutted, not even bothering to deny everything that she had done.

"A lie? You don't know anything..." Kurt felt like a nerve on his face was about to snap. He has never been angry to a woman as much as he was at that moment, and he never thought that Na Young, a friend who he have known for so long could be as cruel as that. He couldn't believe it, not until that moment.

"I know more than you do... at least I'm sensible enough to know what she's really like."

Kurt who almost snapped, found himself raising an arm at Na Young, however lucky enough, Keun Suk and their other friends, Han Sung and Ju Ae, came and stopped his hands in mid air. Na Young cringed but when his hands failed to make contact, raised her head and saw the sudden increase of people in her place. All eyes were looking at her, both with pity and disappointment.

"I thought you are better than this Na Young. I never knew you to be like this..." Keun Suk said in a guttural voice, anger clearly written all over his face.

"What? This is all your fault..." said Na Young in the verge of crying, "If you only listened to me. This would not have happened. Right, I did all this. Why are you all mad? It's all true anyway..." she said desperately.

"I understand why Kurt wanted to hurt you..." he said as he brush his hand on his hair in frustration, "Do you know why she left me before? It's because of you... she was insecure with herself and you even hurt her more with your words..."

"Now your blaming me for something I didn't do... huh..." laughed sarcastically.

"You did... we did..." whispered Ju Ae who seemed to have found her words, "at the club... I realized she was at the comfort room that time... though it was only recently when I learned that she could actually understand Korean..."

"So what?! I'm the bad guy anyway. So she was insecure with herself... it was my fault too... huh" she laughed dryly.

"Guys, please leave us alone... please. Keun, I know your mad but can you leave us for a while too..." asked Kurt and somewhat the others decided to give them a chance to talk privately. When left alone, Kurt took a deep breath and calmed his nerves.

"Na Young, do you remember? You asked me before what's so special with her..." he started, looking sideways as if on the corner if the room where his eyes were looking, Belle was sitting there and he was staring at her like he always do. "It's actually the wrong question. You should have asked me why you can never be like her?"

"Huh! Why would I even want to be like her?" Na Young snickered.

"Belle is actually just an ordinary person," Kurt continued as if he never heard her scorn, "nothing is really special with her. But do you know what she has that you don't have? It's the heart that knows what true love is. She has the heart of a true fan. She sees us way beyond us being a star... as a real person. She loves without wanting anything in return. She loved Keun for who he is way beyond the physical appearance, way beyond the facade he puts in front of the camera. She saw him for who he really is on the inside, something that we, his friends only noticed after years of being together. The love she have for him was genuinely true and pure and that's what kept Keun so attached to her all this years, he continued to long for that kind of love.
