# Special Chapter : KyuNee Story Episode 4

My heart only has you, your heart only has me

Similar sentiments, the proof of our love

The same sky, different place

We’re separated for now

For this instant, something to never forget

Please remember

Ha Nee’s hand roams through her bag and looks for her phone when she heard the tone ringing. She nearly forgot that was her ringtone since she just change it last night. It takes her awhile before she found it. That’s the problem when you just throw everything you thought you’ll need into your bag. Not even looking at the caller ID, she picked-up the call.

“Yobeosaeyo.” She greets.

“Ha Nee.” The caller called out.

Upon hearing the voice, her lips curved and a smile formed right away. It has been few days since they last talk to each other. She don’t know what is wrong but he seems to avoid her.

“Kyu.” She calls back.

“What are you doing?” he asks.

“Me? I’m on my way home. Why?”

“Do you have any other plan for today?”

“Other than reading the new book I bought yesterday, no, I don’t. Why?”

“Let’s meet. As for the book, just read it tomorrow. I’ll pick you up in 30 minutes. You’ll be home by then, right?”

“I guess so. Where are we going?”

“A place where we can talk. I’ll be there in 30 minutes. Bye.”

With that, he hung-up – leaving Ha Nee dumbfound.

*****

Just like he said, he arrives 30 minutes later – 20 minutes after Ha Nee got home.

Buckling her seatbelt, Ha Nee asks once again.

“Where are we going?”

“To a place you like the most.” He reply.

“And where is that?”

He gives her a smile and reply,

“Just wait a little and you’ll know.”

In about another 30 minutes, Ha Nee already can see where they are heading to. Five minutes later, she’s already standing on the white sand, feeling the breeze and enjoying the wave sound.

She inhale deeply, and let it out with a big smile on her face.

“I miss this salty, fresh air.”

She turns and looks at Kyuhyun who is leaning on the car and gives him another smile.

“So…” she trailed off, looking at Kyuhyun while the guy, looking at her back, raising his brow.

“What’s the ‘occasion’?” she asks.

He chuckle. She knew.

“Care to tell why did you ask that?”

“Well, let’s see. We barely talk since Jungsoo oppa’s birthday, you’re obviously avoiding me since then, and you suddenly call me today – asking me out and bring me here.” She said, counting with her fingers.

“Was it that obvious?” he asks, scratching his head.

“So?” she asks again.

“Let’s have a walk.” He said, taking off his sneakers.

*****

[Ha Nee’s POV]

We’ve been walking without saying anything for more than five minutes. Among all the things in this world, having a walk on the seashore is the best when it comes to things that can calm me. Whenever I was sad or having too much stress, I always went to a beach and have some walks there before I can think straight again. But today, it was different. The breeze that touched my cheeks, the waves that are going through my feet – they didn’t calm me a bit. I don’t even know where did this ‘uneasiness’ came from. Was it because Kyu is here, beside me? Or was it because of the curiousness? He still didn’t tell me why are we here.

I look up at him. I admit, he is one handsome guy. To be honest, he is the most handsome friend I ever have. His eyes, his eyebrows, eyelashes, his nose, his lips – they are all beautiful and all the features fit perfectly. When he smiles, his white teeth will show and that shine his smile more. His bang covers up his forehead, but not too much. His wavy brown hair is not too long, but not shorts either. Just my style. Unknowingly, a smile formed on me and when I realize that, I’m a bit surprised. What am I doing? I shake my head, trying to throw away all the ridiculous thinking.

Suddenly, I hear a chuckle from my side. Once again, I look at him – just to see him looking at me, grinning.

“Why?” I ask him.

Again, he chuckle before giving me a reply.

“I’m quite good looking, aren’t I?” he said, with his smile never leaving his face.

I was caught red-handed. I can feel my cheeks burning.

“Not really.” I reply, with an obviously not honest answer.

And as predicted, he knows. He let out another chuckle.

“Fine. It’s okay. At least it is good enough to tempt your eyes.”

I can feel that my cheeks had turns hotter than earlier. And he really needs to add the fuel on the fire and make it worst by adding,

“Don’t worry. Your blushed cheeks are pretty too.”

I think, my cheeks can’t get any redder than this and I don’t think my heart can beat even faster than how it beats right now.

“You sure are the Evil Kyu.” I said in my breath.

“Did you just say something?” He asks, still teasing me.

“No, I didn’t.” I said, pouting.

Being the ‘Evil Kyu’, I thought he’ll keep teasing me again but, surprisingly, he didn’t. He just keep smiling and enjoying the moment without anymore teases. But, well, ‘enjoying the moment’ is part of being the Evil Kyu too since he enjoy teasing people. He should have coax me instead of laughing at me. And just like he reads my head, he suddenly raises his hand and pats my head. Now, that is unusual and he is giving me goosebumps.

After another few silence moments, the curiosity hits me again. So, I’ve decide to just be the straightforward me and ask him what I want to know. I think he won’t tell me anything if I just wait.

“Kyu.” I call and look up at him. With my bare foot, I sure do need to look up more than usual, eventhough I’m not that short. It just shows how tall he is.

He looks at me, indicating that he’s listening.

“Why are we here?” I ask.

“To have a walk?” he said, but it sounds more like a question to me.

“And what do we need this walk for?”

“Just because…we need to.”

I think he can read the question marks all over my face because I really don’t get what he means.

“Let’s have a sit over there.” He said, and leads me to a dry spot.

We sit there with our shoes on our side. After we settle there, he starts.

“Ha Nee, don’t you think that we are a bit awkward this past few days?" He asks.

“Honestly?” I ask him back.

“Yes. Honestly.” He said.

“Honestly, no. I don’t. I don’t feel awkward at all. Why should I anyway?”

“You didn’t remember?

“Remember what?”

“You don’t remember at all what makes me avoid you?” he asks, in disbelief.

Shaking my head, I give him a questioning look before adding,

“That reminds me. Why did you avoid me?”

He sighs. And I believe I heard him muttering ‘I can’t believe this’ and ‘what’s the point of…’ and he trailed off with some other words that I wasn’t able to catch.

“Kyu…”

“This is so frustrated.” He cuts me off.

“What?” I ask him, confused.

“I’ve wasted a week, meaninglessly.”

“Care to explain?” I ask, still confused.

“I avoided you because I was too…but now, you didn’t even…I shouldn’t have avoide you in the first place.”

“Kyu, I still don’t get it.”

“Ha Nee, do you remember the day we met Minho?”

“Yes, but…”

“Don’t you remember what I said before I punch him?”

And that hits me. After all the chaos, I’ve forgot that line. The ‘I am her boyfriend-to-be’ that makes my heart skip a beat. I never thought that’s what makes him keeping a distance from me.

“Oh. That?” I ask. Still thinking of what to say, and I choose to play safe.

“About that...Kyu, no need to feel awkward. I know you just said that to help me. There’s no need to avoid me just because of that. I won’t misunderstand.” Eventhough that’s what I said, but deep inside me, I want to believe that it’s true. I have to admit that I like him – more than just a friend.

And what he says later makes my heart nearly stop.

“But I meant it.” He said, clear enough for me to hear it.

“Be my girl.” He adds, and that makes my heart really stop.

Or that’s what I thought. If my heart really stops, he might need to bring me to the hospital. But what make me pretty sure that my heart didn’t stop beating is because I can hear my own heartbeat – loudly, when he says,

“Let me be your boyfriend.”

I was so surprised. I’m in shocked that I don’t even realize I was crying – until he wipes the tears with his thumb.

“Can I take this as a yes?” he asks, with his so beautiful smile.

And again, my mind is completely blown because I didn’t even realize that I was hugging him – with my arms over his shoulders. I only realize it when I heard his chuckle and I felt his arms – around my waist.
