After spending so much time to work, his stomach is start to grumbling, asking him badly to eat, he is starving. He never skip his mealtime because he really care about his health.

             After finishing all of his tasks, he ask Kwang Soo to have a meal with him. Kwang Soo is the only younger friend in his office, he is a student at his 3rd years who take an internship at the laboratorium.

         Jong Kook didn't has an office partner with same age here.  Most of lecturer are older than him, he is the only junior. Kwang Soo is not a lecturer like Jong Kook but he is a laborant there. The two of them are really close.

            The two close partner decide to  go to the restaurant near University. Just as always Jong Kook order a heathy food which from for Kwang Soo's point of few is like a grasy food.

            Suddenly Jong Kook catch a figure of a familiar girl’s outside the restaurant. Song Ji Hyo is waiting for someone by her self. After a few minute later, there is a younger man approach her and greet her with a tight hug.

              The man is a real good looking guy,  he has an image of flower boy with his disguised face.  Jong Kook can't help But to focus on them, a question crossing his mind.

   “is she prefer a younger man?” he wonder.

           Kwang Soo who catch that Jong Kook's attention is diverting to somewhere else trying to follow his gaze. He caught  a familiar figure who often he saw in TV screen.

“isn’t he that upcoming actor Song Jong Ki?” Kwang Soo ask curiously, the tall man would never imagine that a star could actually appear right in front of his eyes.

“an actor?” ask Jong Kook staring intently to the actor without looking at Kwang Soo.

             He focus on Ji Hyo, she look so happy and smile brightly to greet that actor. After a brief conversation, Ji Hyo and disguised Jong Ki entering the same restaurant where Jong Kook and Kwang Soo is eating.

             Jong Kook feel his heart beat increase when he realized that Ji Hyo sit behind him at the opposite of his direction. They sit at a different table but somehow Jong Kook can smell Ji Hyo's scent and it’s make him feel more nervous.

“noona.... how is your day?” Jong Ki ask the cheerful girl who is older than him.

“I always have a great day, how about you my dongsaeng?” ask Ji Hyo enthusiasly.

“ah... so he is her dongsaeng? Why didn't I realize that from their same sure name, I think he is her boyfriend,....... wait?! What’s wrong if he is her boyfriend?” Jong Kook talking to his self in his mind while hearing the SongSong sibling conversation.

“producer Ji just offer me a new drama noona” Jong Ki share the news to his big sister happily.

  “Really? That’s really great Jong Ki ah. But.... is that mean we will rarely see each other again? I miss you so bad my little brother” Ji Hyo is pouting, pretending to be angry.

“aigoo... my pouting noona is really cute, seriously! if I’m not your brother I'm gonna falling over heels to you"  Jong Ki  smile jokingly and stroke her hair softly. Sometime Jong Ki looked like a big brother than a younger sibling for Ji Hyo when she show her childish side like that.

“pouting? Is she trying to make an aegyo? She must looks really cute, I hope I can see that too” Jong Kook imagining her aegyo face, it put a smile on his face.

“what’s wrong with you hyung? Why didn't you eat your meal?” Kwang Soo is puzzled by Jong Kook strange behaviour. What in the world that makes he smiles by his self like a weirdo?

 

  “yah Kwang Soo-ah, be quiet!” Kong Kook scold Kwang Soo for being noisy. He is trying his best to eavesdropping the conversation from the table behind him.

   “why are you whispering hyung? You makes me think that you are into something bad” Kwang Soo keep pressing the muscular lecturer to tell him. He is so naive and can't caught the atmoshphere. “yah! Stay quite!” Jong Kook speak with a more stern voice.

“eh... hyung. Are you trying to sneak out the conversation because he is an actor? You didn't look like someone who take interest on showbiz world.”  Kwang Soo is nagging him because he doesn’t understand why Jong Kook didn't act like his usual self.

“talk again, I swear you wouldn’t able to attend the laboratory tomorrow morning”  Jong Kook warn him and being so serious.

                He didn't really mean his words and never plan to do anything to hurt his only dongsaeng, but he knew that Kwang Soo will stop his nagging if he put this strategy. Kwang Soo is terrified like a lost puppy, his words really silenced the tall man. He continue his meal soundly.

             Jong Kook notice Kwang Soo's horor face. He smile happily bybhis victory. The Young lecturer continuing his “sneak out” on his mission. Digging an information from Song-Song sibling's conversation.

             Jong Kook is actually wonder, why he has to go this far by dong this kind of thing, why did he really want to know their business? But he just did it anyway.

“but noona, do you know who is the main actor of my new drama?” Jong Ki ask his sister nervously.

“Lee Dong Wook hyung”. Ji Hyo freeze instantly by hearing  his name, it feel like the ice she consume fulfill her whole body. Make she froze like an icy statue.

“you still love him, aren't you?” Jong Ki ask after catching her sister's frozen face. His question make her blushes. The air around her feel so much hotter now.

 

“is that too obvious Jong Ki ah?” She confirm the little brother.

“aigoo noona,.... Of course it is really obvious, at least for me. You really in love with him but you never treat him well noona, you’re really something.” he is right. As matter of how much she love the person, she treat him coldly, why? Because she is damn nervous! Her nervousness turn her become a cold and ignorant girl, yeah.... That's how her appearance showed outside. But on the inside?? Don't even ask.

“yah~~~ Jong Ki ah, you do know that I don’t mean to be a bad person to him, I just so nervous.... that’s why I end up being like a fool infront of him, it’s not because I’m didn't care, I would never ever being not care for him even for a second..... and until now, but I just don’t know what to do around him and I end UP acting cold toward him” her voice is trembling and her eyes is teary.

 

“what if.... What if actually Dong Wook hyung also has a crush to you?” Jong Ki is being curious. Did her sister's crush is really a one-side love? Come on.... His sister is like an angel, Who wouldn't love her?

“that’s impossible Jong Ki ah, don’t put my hope up for nothing oke, I Know it all the way... for this 4 years it is just a one-side love.... "Ji Hyo make a pressed tone on the word, trying to stop her brother to think otherwise. Or.... To be exact, she try to stop her self for hoping otherwise.

" Even if it just a one-side love, I still regret nothing, I just.... feel so special when he saw me with his eyes, his shady eyes, I feel save Jong Ki ah, I never feel sooo in love before, it feel just... There is no one before him and I can’t find a better person after him to love, maybe it's sound silly but I really love him, I feel thankful that I love someone like him, he’s a nice guy, I didn't hope that he will have a same feeling to me, but just by knowing that he ever care, even for a second, by knowing that he ever thinking about me even just for a friend, It makes me happy. I don’t hope more than this Jong Ki-ah. I just love him, and loving him make me feel happy. He help me find my lost smile, I.... I just love   him” Ji Hyo turn into a little teenager in love. She cover her pinkish cheeck with her palm. 

         She knew that it is not the first time she talks about her love with Jong Ki. He did Know her feeling toward Dong Wooksurely but she can’t stop her self to not being excited when it come to Dong Wook, her first love.

“noona seriously... you told me about this for thousand time, Who would ever know that my cold hearted sister is actually falling in love with someone and being a fool like this?? But... I am happy if you are happy" Jong Ki takes her hand and holding it sweetly. Ji Hyo can only smile shyly when her brother tease her about it.

 

“But noona... what do you think if I tell Dong Wook hyung that I’m your brother, maybe I can figure out if he has a feeling for you too, maybe he will ask me about you” suggest Jong Ki sincerely.

“no Jong Ki-ah... just let him work comfortably, just let me loving him secretly, I don’t mind about it, well actually it’s a lie if I don’t hope that  somehow he has a crush on me too, if our feeling is mutual... it always being my dream, but just let it go with the flow.

He can't really understand why her sister forbid him to reveal his identity to Dong Wook, But he can feel how sincere his sister is toward the actor.

“but can you at least do me a favor by taking some picture of him? I want to know how is he right now” ask Ji Hyo smile brightly. She put up her best cute pleading face.

“aigoo noona, why don’t you just attend my filming then? Both of you are friend at high school, I think he will be happy to see you too” Jong Ki offer her a new suggestion.

“yah! Do you want to see your sister dying in nervousness, seriously! I told you before. I even run away when we accidently bump our eay! How can I endure the feeling of being by his side for a long time?” asked Ji Hyo panickly.

“hahaha... sure noona. You really are crazy in love with him, you act like a crazy fangirl who is dying after meeting their idol” tell Jong Ki jokingly.

 

“yah! Don’t compare me with his fangirl, I already love him a long long time ago before his debute” Ji Hyo is nagging Jong Ki. How could he compare her long sincere love with some fangirling who just love him after his debut.

“I understand, no one love him more than you” Jong Ki pinches Ji Hyo's cheeck playingfully. Suddenly Jong Ki feel a vibration from his pocket, his manager is calling him.
