Ep 7
"Thanks. We had a great dinner,"said Hyung Joon.
"You’re welcome,"said Candace.
“It’s getting late, I think we need to go,”said Kyu Jong.
“Ok…”said Candace disappointed to see Hyun Joong go again, but she told herself to be prepared before they came.
“Bye! Do come drop by if you have the time,”said Selena,"which you probably won’t…"she murmured.
“Haha. Don’t worry. If we do have the time, we will try to come,”said Young Saeng.
Candace tried to smile knowing that won't happen.
SS501 was going to leave… again.
“Oh yes. One more thing,”Hyun Joong said.“Thick-skinned kid, I’ll pick you up tomorrow.”
“Huh? Pick me up?”asked Candace.
“Yeah. Tomorrow’s your first Gayageum class. Don’t tell me you have forgotten…”Hyun Joong said.
“No. It’s just… I didn’t know you would want to pick me up,”said Candace.
“I’ll only pick you up for a few times until you know your way there,”Hyun Joong
“Oh... Ok. I’ll see you tomorrow. And one more thing Jerk Oppa, don’t be late.”Candace said seriously.
“Don’t worry. I’ll sleep extra early tonight,”said Hyun Joong.
“Ok,”said Candace showing her uncontrollable grin again.
“Seriously, something is going on between both of you…”said Jung Min.”Oh, I know… you two are like brothers and sisters!”
“Fine Jung Min, let’s go,”said Kyu Jong.
They said goodbye to each other and SS501 left.
“Brothers and sisters… We can only be brothers and sisters. No more. Candace, don’t let your thoughts go wild. Brothers and sisters. Brothers and sisters…”Candace was deep in thought.
“Candace!”Selena shouted. “Wow. What are you thinking about? You look kind of troubled.”
“Oh… Its nothing,”Candace said."Em… Selena?"
“Yeah?”asked Selena.
“You know nowadays there are like lots of guys dating older woman, but have you thought about guys dating younger girls that has a big age gap between them?”Candace asked.
“Hmm. Never really thought about it but I guess its ok if the age difference isn’t that big…”Selena said.
“What about 8 years difference?”asked Candace.
“8 years… A little big… But I’m ok with it,”said Selena.
“Really? That means its ok?”said Candace.
“Yeah. It’s ok for me. But parents probably won’t be able to accept it,”said Selena.
“Oh…”Candace said disappointedly.
“Why are like so disappointed? Wait. Your 15, Hyun Joong is 23. Age difference of… 8. Oh My God! You’re in love with Hyun Joong! I knew it! The way you look at him! Ha! I knew it! Oh My God, seriously, you’re in love with him?! Oh man! That’s big news! Is it true? Is it?”Selena asked.
"No. Don't be ridiculous!"said Candace.
"Stop lying! You must be in love with him! Tell me, is it true?!"asked Selena.
“So what if its true? We can’t be together. Its no point,”said Candace.
“Oh. Come on, don’t worry. Its fine!”said Selena.
“Yeah right. 8 years difference! It’s a big gap,”said Candace.
“No it isn’t! We are not living in the olden days. This is the 21st generation! Who cares about age!”Selena said.
“Yeah… Maybe you’re right! Who cares! I live my own life!”said Candace.
“Yeah! Just don’t worry about the people mocking you… or people look at you in a different way… or bad mouth you or…”Selena said while Candace was looking worried."Opps, sorry. Shouldn’t have mention those."
“Its ok. That’s reality. He’s a super star idol, while I’m just a normal girl. He got millions of girl’s fans while I’m just another ordinary girl. He got a pretty face while mine is just ugly…”said Candace.
“Candace, its ok if you guys like each other…”said Selena.
“And the worst part is, I don’t even know if he likes me! And why would he? I mean… I’m just a nobody to him. He probably just find me a nuisance!”said Candace.
“No, he doesn’t! I know he really likes you! The way you guys look at each other… Like really in love! Trust me! I’m expert!”Selena said.
“You’re expert at everything. Haha,”said Candace.
“Well, its true!”said Selena.
“Well, no fairy tale is real...”said Candace.
***
Its 7.55am and Candace’s Gayageum class starts at 8.30am.
"Will Hyun Joong be late? If he is to pick me up, he has to wake up pretty early. I’ll probably need to go myself,"Candace thought.
Just then, a familiar car stopped in front of Candace.
Its Hyun Joong's.
Candace stepped into the car and stared at Hyun Joong.
“What?”asked Hyun Joong.
“Just need to see of you’re awake. Don’t want to get car accident, still have a long time to live,”said Candace.
“Haha. Don’t worry, I’m wide awake,”said Hyun Joong. “You’re the first person who I woke up so early just to pick up.”
“Wow. I’m honored,”said Candace.
Candace laughed. She doesn't know why, but she feels really excited and could not help smiling thinking that she's really special to Huyn Joong and he might feel the same way.
“What are you so happy about?”asked Hyun Joong.
“Nothing. Just excited…”said Candace blushing,"I mean excited… as in today’s lesson."
“You’re excited to see that crazy teacher?”asked Hyun Joong.
“She’s not crazy! She’s just strict, don’t get me kick out of her class!”Candace said.
“Ok. Then, I guess she’s just a tigress then,”Hyun Joong laughed.
Candace laughed and find that Hyun Joong’s really funny and has a great smile. Soon they have reached.
“Good luck. Don’t let her eat you up!”said Hyun Joong.
“Haha. I’ll be ok. You don’t have to wait. I know the way back,”said Candace.
Hyun Joong nodded.
Candace's lesson started smoothly. Candace was really interested in learning and teacher was serious in teaching.
Soon, the lesson was over and teacher had a better impression of Candace.
Candace thanked her and left.
When she walked out, she saw Chae Rim and they greeted each other.
Candace was on her way home when she saw the familiar car again, Hyun Joong’s.
Hyun Joong was lost in his world with his arms folded.
The door was unlocked, Candace sneaked and shouted “Boo!”
Hyun Joong looked at her and was shocked.
“How lost are you in your world? I came in and you didn't even notice! What are you still doing here?”asked Candace.
“I… was waiting… for you,”Hyun Joong said.
“Waiting for me?”Candace said. She was really happy thinking that she was really special to Hyun Joong.
“Yeah. Go home?”asked Hyun Joong.
“Yes. No where else for me to go,”Candace said.
“Have you explored Korea yet?”asked Hyun Joong.
“Nope. Selena is always busy, so there's no one to bring me,”Candace said."Unless you would"Candace thought.
“I’ll bring you,”said Hyun Joong.
“You will?”asked Candace. She thought,“Oh. Our first date! Selena’s right! The way he look at me! He totally loves me! Oh my god. Don’t let your thought go wild, Candace. Don’t be crazy!”
They go around some of Korea's famous places, they had fun and Candace was really happy to go on their ‘first date’.
Soon, they had dinner and it was 9 pm.
“Want to catch a movie?”asked Hyun Joong.
“Movie?”asked Candace. She thought,"Its 9pm already. Is this considered late? I have no experience in this kind of stuff. I need someone's advice… em... Selena!”
“Ok. You go buy the tickets while I make a phone call,”Candace said.
She went to a corner and phoned Selena. Selena said,"Oh my god! Your first date! Haha! He totally likes you! I’m sure enough! Don’t worry! Just go out with him!”
After the movie,its already 11pm.
Candace, thinking that its time to go home. However, Hyun Joong said,"I’m thirsty, lets go for a drink."
Thinking that Selena said,"Just go out with him!”, Candace said “Ok.”
Candace was waiting in his car where its parked facing towards the sea.
Hyun Joong came back from 7-11 with drinks.
Candace saw bottles of soju and said,"Wait. I can’t drink soju!"
“I know. I brought fruit juice for you,”said Hyun Joong.
“Thanks...”said Candace. She can see it clearly now. She's just a girl who can only drink fruit juice while Hyun Joong is a man who drinks soju.
They did not say anything nor look at each other, they are memorized by the beauty of the sea.
Candace thought of something and said,"Hold on! You can't drink and drive!"
Hyun Joong is already asleep just by finishing 1 bottle of soju.
“He must be tired,”Candace thought.
Candace look at him, feeling sleepy too. Soon, she fell asleep too.
When Candace woke up, she is still in Hyun Joong’s car.
Hyun Joong is still asleep, its 5.30am.
Candace was looking at the sea when she heard Hyun Joong said,"I love you…"
