JOURNAL OF A POPSTAR

CHAPTER TEN

" It's funny how you said we would talk later after your concert, then fall asleep all of a sudden." Kim voice replied in the background of the song.

That song, I have heard it so many times, it was the song that made me fall in love with music at a really young age, made by the past luminous boy band; The lumiere, this was their saddest song yet, alone with him.

Tears flowed down my cheeks as I stared blankly at the radio.

"Chaeyoung... cheayoung!!!.". A familiar voice called out but my heart was beating really fast at the rthym I was engrossed in the flow, it took me a while to remember that I was supposed to have a conversation with someone.

"Oh yeah Kim!!."

" Sorry....I don't know what happened." I sniffled, shaking my head to hide away my tears.

" Are you okay cheayoung." Kim replied, handing me a napkin from his pocket, and I nodded, I couldn't tell him that the song made me cry, it was so embarrassing.

" You can't blame me for falling asleep, we had biology quiz yesterday and it drained all my energy." I chuckled rubbing my tears with the napkin, then it hit me, Kim was never a gentleman.

This whole offering to drive me to school, gesturing to switch on the radio and handing me a napkin wasn't in his statue, he was too nice and it was getting scary.

" What do you think you're doing." I yelled at him and that clearly surprised him.

" You were crying and I handed you a napkin, what's the big deal." Kim scoffed.

" Since when were you a gentleman.....to me at least." I yelled, I didn't know what the argument was all about but seeing Kim trying to be nice to me was getting really uncomfortable.

In Seoul performance arts highschool, Kim was one of the schools rebel, getting into trouble, starting up fights, I was scared of him in my grade and always avoided him, causing him to constantly bully me, It was when I became friends with Jimin that Kim left me alone, he was never a gentleman from the start and I would never believe he is now, its just been two years I have been away from him, have he changed.

Kim froze at my question and sighed am sure he now remembers all his torture.

" The band threatened to kick me out if I don't apologize, they think am the reason you've been so indifferent lately, am sorry for bullying you in the past cheayoung, I would do anything to make it up to you." Kim sighed, its funny how all my bullies are repenting this days.

" And no wonder those knuckle head didn't stop him when he said he wanted to drive me to school." I thought.

" Kim I have so many other problems than you right now... As I said before, I didn't want much attention to be on me as Min-jin that's why I tried my best to avoid you guys, it's fine, all what you did had been forgotten two years ago and you don't have to be a gentleman to be forgiven. I assured him and he smiled.

" But am a natural born gentleman cheayoung, you just haven't experienced it." He joked causing me to burst in laughter, him being a gentleman was an understatement.

. " What that giggle supposed to mean." Kim huffed and all of a sudden, the awkward tension that once stood in the car became light, we began to talk about everything that I had missed in Seoul performance art,from the gist of latest music sensations, just graduating from the school to the whole story of Kim repentance.

" Honestly Kim, it's not my fault that am acting indifferent towards you guys, were like rivals in the music business and right now struggling to be at the top list for the music granny awards, you guys are always jerks to your competitions."

I remarked and rolled my eyes, adding to the conversation, Kim froze at my words then nodded to assure he understood my point however he couldn't help but give that his annoying sinical smirk that mostly all the Luminous boys have.

"Ummm... cheayoung, we are close to school, should I drop you off here so I won't drag you into any attention." Kim moved his hands behind his ear and scratched it awkwardly, I smiled at his concern and nodded.

" Yeah, that's the plan." He stopped his car with slow stead and went down to open the door for me, I teased him with a court bow at his fake gesture and also came down, one leg after the other, two can play the game of princess and knight.

I stepped further from him and waved but then something occured In my mind.

" Stop calling me cheayoung!!." I screamed the top of my lungs cause I was already ahead of him and the car, Kim did a wave to show that he understood and I continued my journey skip to the school.

It didn't take me too long to reach the golden gate of Seoul high, when I entered inhaling the sweet air of the beautiful morning.

Today I had arrived early to school so I wouldn't be bothered by any teachers, however I had forgotten my main reason why I ought never to come by this time, with the quiet early morning and empty classes, only few students come this early and one of them is someone I have been trying to avoid, Dong-Hyun, my crush.

It was when I sat down in my empty class that this thought just came in , and to make matters worst, my prediction came true, Dong-Hyun, with his dark long hair packed to a bon, his chisel chin and slender blue eyes focused on me, stepped into the class as I unpacked my books and went straight to my desk, I tried my very hardest not to raise my head and look at him but my beating heart gave me away.

"Min-jin, please may I have a word with you." His husky deep voice replied causing my heart to drop to my stomach.
