Chae Yeon and Seung Gi had a very long walk home. And by long, it just meant that they were so awkward that the supposedly minutes to walk back to the studio somehow turned into hours. Why was it even awkward, anyway? Both asked themselves. We just talked at the beach and the dock. There wasn’t anything special. No hugs. No kisses…
Ohohoho! Definitely no kisses.
“So… Uhm. Kamsahamnida, nuna. For taking me there. It really did make me feel a lot better.”
Chae Yeon got his hand and gave it a light pat. It gave him a tingling feeling, which made his knees shake for some reason. “You’re welcome. This is where Tei and I usually stay whenever we just need to rest… Just to relax, you know.”
“You and hyung have been spending a lot of time with each other? Haven’t you?” Seung Gi asked curiously, and out of topic.
She sighed. “Ne.”
The way she answered, it was as if she wasn’t happy with it. “What’s wrong?” Seung Gi asked, bending his head to the side.
Chae Yeon tilt his head to the side as well, and asked. “What do you mean what’s wrong?”
“Well, obviously. From the way you answered, it seems like you’re not really that happy with Tei hyung.”
“I am… It’s just that–“
“It’s just what?”
“I don’t know. Ya! I’m happy, okay?” and shrugged him off, wishing to change the topic.
“Heh. It really doesn’t sound that believable.”
“Look. I don’t have to have your permission, your consent, your approvable or whatever to prove that I am happy with Tei. He’s a nice guy. I like him. And I’m pretty sure he feels the same way. Now can you please just stop? I just met you, and you’re already sounding like you’ve known me for so long. You’re not making me feel any better.”
“…”
“…..”
“You sound pissed.”
“Yeah. I am,” she muttered under her breathe.
“Mianhe, I’m sorry. It wasn’t meant to come out as something to piss you off,” Seung Gi said, sincerely apologizing for what he said.
“Araso. Just try not to ask too many questions, okay? Especially when it comes to a girl’s feelings,” Chae Yeon remarked. “You really need to learn a lot about girls.”
“Ne, I know, right? I’m the worst boy in the world,” saying it as a joke to her, and to himself. He was pouting from the fact that it was actually half true. Seung Gi was not as a romantic or as cool as he looked.
“Yeah. You are the worst.”
“Well thanks for lifting my spirits, nuna. Really,” he said, lifting his eyebrow in a sarcastic tone.
She winked at him and replied, “You’re welcome.”

The X-Man show went by so fast. They announced that Tei was leaving for the army. A lot of people were shocked; they didn’t expect him to leave so early for the army. Some fan girls screamed. Some wailed, while the others looked for Chae Yeon’s reaction. If she was to cry or show any emotion of sadness, then it confirms it: Chae Yeon and Tei ARE an item.
Well lucky for the audience. In the corner, the camera got a glimpse of Chae Yeon shedding a tear. Tei, seeing it, swung his arm around her and motioned for her to stop – “It’s okay. Two years will fly by quickly. It will be alright.” He lifted strands of her hair and placed them at the back of her ear, and cupped her face. “Don’t cry,” he whispered under his breath.
“Tei…” she looked up and a tear fell onto her cheek.
“Chae Yeon, ah. Don’t be so sad.”
“How can I not be sad, Tei, if I know that you’re leaving soon?!”
“… I’m sorry.”
“It’s not going to do anything, Tei. You’re leaving.” She lightly pushed him away. He looked down, ashamed.
He paused for a moment, then looked around. They were still filming. Some of the cast were looking at them, motioning to them to stop if they don’t want any scandal. Some of the cast members were still continuing with the show. He looked back at Chae Yeon, who looked at him straight in the eyes, before bowing her head again, her forehead on his chest. What was he to say?
Scandal or no scandal, it didn't matter. “Chae Yeon…” He asked.
“Yes?” she sniffed in between tears, still having her head down.
“Do you like me?”
Chae Yeon stood there in disbelief and jolted back. WELL DUH. If she didn’t, would she be crying in front of a live audience during a live recording of a comedy show? She glared at him.
“Oh.. Right..” Tei looked down disappointed.
“What the? Why are you, uh, sad?" Chae Yeon noticed his expression.
“You don’t?”
“Don’t what?”
“Like me?”
“Butthead. Of course I do.”
“You do?”
“Well, duh.”
“Oh.”
“That is the most romantic way to confess your feelings for someone,” and manage to stifle a laugh amidst the tears. She can see him blushing.
He smirked and replied, “Not really. I know a better way to confess.” He then gave a little laugh.
“Really? How would I –MMPFH!”
Out of nowhere, Tei jerked towards Chae Yeon, held her by the waist, and planted a kiss on her lips. Chae Yeon’s eyes widened in surprise, and so did the eyes of maybe hundreds of those who saw it. It all happened so fast that it looked like it didn’t happen at all.
He broke off the kiss, which took only maybe a second or two, but for Chae Yeon, it seemed to last forever.
“Chae Yeon. I really, really.. Honestly like you."
Both looked at each other intently in the eyes. “I… I d –“
“WOOOO! CHAE YEON!!”
“YOU GO TEI! THAT’S HOW YOU DO IT!”
“Honey! Why can’t you do something as romantic as that?!”
“Do something like what???"
“I want a husband like that! He shows the WHOLE world that he loves me! GO TEIIIII OPPA~ HWAITING~ SARANGHAEEEEEEE~MPFH!!! WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT?!”
"Well you wanted a husband that kissed you in front of everybody. Why'd you slap me then?! I just kissed you!"
"Gag reflex. Mianhe. OOOHH~ Look honey! Tei oppa is so sweet to Chae Yeon-ahh~"
The audience screamed and whistled. Obviously, they were more excited for what just happened than to actually remember that they were still filming an X-Man episode.
Chae Yeon looked down after the kiss, her cheeks suddenly flushed red.
“I… I don’t know what to say...”
“Chae Yeon…” Tei paused. “Baby,” he smiled and continued, “You don’t have to say anything. I think that surprised look on your face says it all.” He got her nose and pinched it softly.
“Heh. Oppa… You DO realize that we’re still filming X-Man, right?” and bit the lower part of her lip. He just kissed me, she thought.
Tei laughed and looked at the audience, “That makes it even better. Now everyone will know how special you are to me.” He held her hand and tried to bring her up front, in front of everyone. She tried to let go, but Tei tightened his grip even more. She could do nothing but blush profusely.
"Do you trust me, Chae Yeon-ah? Do you trust your oppa?" Tei looked back.
Although it sounded like he was some cheesy middle-aged romantic off a novel, Chae Yeon had to admit. He was the most goodlooking and sweetest middle-aged romantic she ever met. The way he asked.. "...do you trust me..", made her feel all giddy and jumpy inside. The way he looekd at her with those beautiful eyes, ohoho. How it felt so great to be a girl. She giggled and nodded her head.
HaHa, seeing this, could not take it anymore. “TEI. DON’T DO THIS,” his eyes filled with concern… and jealousy. He blocked their way before they could get in front of the cameras… In front of the audience. In front of everybody. “Don’t start a scandal this way! Oh, wait. On second thought, why don’t you try to NOT start a scandal AT ALL?”
Tei paused for a moment, actually thinking it over if he were to continue what he was about to do. “HaHa…” He looked at Chae Yeon and said, “SHE will be worth it.”
Haha watched them walk towards the cameras. He could do nothing but just look at them. He closed his eyes and sighed.
“Yeah… I know.”
