"What's wrong with your hair? It's in a mess." Sunny commented, looking at the maknae as if she was an alien who just landed on Earth. Jessica and Tiffany just nodded their heads. "Didn't you notice?"
Seo Hyun tucked a few stray hair behind her ear. She knew that her double pleats were a gone case since she and Yong Hwa finished planting the sweet potato shoots that afternoon. "Jeongmal? Oh nevermind. It's late anyway. Who's there to see?"
"Aigoo! You're a tough one Hyunnie-ah." Jessica sighed.
"Oh Unnie... I'll go wash up first then!" Seo Hyun said excitedly before heading towards her and Hyoyeon's room.
"She seems happy ain't she?" Jessica asked her other two members, who were now engrossed in watching an episode of the drama Boys Over Flowers.
"Hm... What day is it today? Did she have any schedule?" Tiffany's turn to speak up.
The three girls fell silent as they thought over their maknae's schedule for the week including today.
"Oh! WGM!" Jessica and Sunny suddenly squealed. Devilish grins enveloping their faces.
"Ommo!"
*********
Seo Hyun walked into her room quietly. She was very sure that her unnies are gossiping about her at that moment. But she did not care. It was definitely a happy day for her and she did enjoy herself.
Seo Hyun gave a long sigh as she thought about the two row goguma field which her virtual husband, Yong Hwa, had presented her with. It was very special indeed. To think that she was upset when Yong oppa did not even sent her a birthday wish. She laughed it out and thought of it as a childish mistake. 'I shouldn't have been upset with him. He remembers it.'
Right hand crawled up to her neck where the butterfly necklace gleamed in the dimmed room. 'Beautiful...' Seo Hyun thougt, smiling. 'The first time a man putting on a necklace for me, it made me feel special. He made it special.'
Humming to her currently favourite song now, Love Light, Seo Joo Hyun skipped to the toilet to clean up. She could feel her heart fluttering aimlessly. Her spirit's high and she just can't wait to share it out with her unnies.
*********
"He what? Oh! Our Hyunnie, you're so lucky!" Yoona exclaimed hugging her maknae tightly.
It was about 2.00 a.m. in the morning, but still the other eight girls from the all time favourite group SNSD, were not asleep yet. They were so eager to find out about Seo Hyun's latest update on her virtual marriage life with Jung Yong Hwa of CNBlue. The minute Yoona, Hyoyeon, Taeyeon, Sooyoung and Yuri heard the commotion in the living room made by Sunny, Tiffany and Jessica, they just had to join in the gossip segment. And when Seo Hyun entered the living room after shower, all eight of them led her to the sofa n gestured her to sit.
"I don't think that's the only thing he gave you right? Of course a two-row goguma field is special, definitely something nobody will think of." SNSD's leader, Taeyeon spoke up, "And I am just wondering, I don't think I've seen that necklace before Hyunnie-ah."
Eight pairs of eyes landed on Seo Hyun's neck where the butterfly necklace hung beautifully. Seo Hyun blushed knowing she's been caught. "It's another gift from him. It's a couple necklace." Seo Hyun explained. Her expression was bright and it seemed that she could not wait to tell her story further.
"Imagine unnie, he buried this at the end of our goguma patch hoping to surprise me when I planted my last goguma shoot but the funny thing was I missed it by an inch and did not find the surprise." Seo Hyun babbled almost like rapping the story to her members who were listening with interest. "I thought I was all done but when he forced me to plant another shoot in between the already planted shoots, I was a bit pissed off. But when I found the surprise, my heart pounded even harder in my chest! That feeling, it is so amazing."
"Ommo! Seo Hyun-ah, you are rapping again." Yuri chuckled. "Did I hear it's a couple necklace?"
"You mean Yong-seobang is wearing the other one?" Yoona gasped.
"Did he put it on for you? Aigoo! If it is so, he deserves a praise from me!" Taeyeon gave a high-five to Sooyoung.
"Wae? Unnie, stop teasing me!" Seo Hyun pouted. Her SNSD sisters laughed. "Anyway, it's a couple necklace for me and omma. Isn't it sweet? He' so thoughtful."
"Aigoo aigoo. Look at her, she's on cloud nine." Hyoyeon grinned. "Then did you gave him his gift?"
"Ne. He loves it of course. But I can't help thinking that my gifts were too small, compared to his."
"Don't you worry sis, it's the thought that counts. And furthermore your gift is something personal, it is for his eyes only."Jessica chimed in.
"You think so?" Seo Hyun gave a bright smile. "I just feel good today. I really love it."
"Our Seo Hyun's in love!" All eight unnies exclaimed.
"And, I actually asked him." Seo Hyun started blushing again.
"About?"
"Love light." Seo Hyun replied in a soft voice.
"Sinchia? Ommo what did he say? Pali!" Taeyeon asked, voice full of eagerness. "Is it for you? Is it?"
Seo Hyun looked at the eight girls sitting in front of her, their faces gave off different kinds of expressions. She just love giving them suspense especially at a climax like this. "I'll tell you all tomorrow."
"ANDWAE!" All eight replied ferociously.
"Tell us now maknae." Taeyeon threw dagger stares at Seo Hyun, her voice getting impatient.
"Well, Love Light, it is well, it is for me." Seo Hyun whispered.
"Sinchia? Yahoo!" The girls started to jump and shouting for joy, much to Seo Hyun's surprise.
"Aishh sinchia. It's not a big deal anyway, since all of you have been telling me about it multiple times." Seo Hyun shrugged.
"No way. At that point of time, we were just teasing you after hearing about that rumour. But now, since it has been confirmed by the composer himself, then we really need to celebrate!" Taeyeon grinned. "I'll get the soju! Um and apple juice for you Hyun-ah."
"Celebrate? That's really silly..." Seo Hyun shook her head, but laughing still.
"Ya! It's not everyday you have someone writing a song for you, you know." Taeyeon replied as she stucked her head into the fridge to look for the alcoholic beverages but unfortunately there were none. She came back with two bottles of apple juice and nine cups.
"Aish! Celebration with apple juice?" Yoona pouted.
"It's healthier this way unnie." Seo Hyun smiled. "Even Yong oppa is getting addicted to healthier drinks."
"Ommo! Uri sarang bit!" Yuri and Hyoyeon chorused.
*********
"I'm home!" Jung Yong Hwa called out to his dongsaengs.
"Oh hyung. You're back?" Jonghyun asked. "It's quite late."
"I was in the country area. It takes a lot of time travelling to and fro." Yong Hwa explained, hoping his three dongsaengs would understand.
"Hm... Don't worry hyung, we understand." Jungshin grinned as he gave Minhyuk a knowing look.
"What were you guys doing?" Yong Hwa asked as he squeezed himself in the middle of Jungshin and Minhyuk on the sofa.
"Practicing. You reminded us this morning before you leave. Remember?" Jungshin answered. Jonghyun and Minhyuk nodded in agreement.
"Ya, don't overwork yourselves ok. It's not good for your health." Yong Hwa gave a pat on his maknae's shoulder.
Jungshin, Minhyuk and Jonghyun looked at their leader's face, startled. "Am I dreaming?" Minhyuk asked mindlessly.
"Wo! It's the Seo Hyun's effect!" Jungshin exclaimed.
"Bo? You want a piece of me?" Yong Hwa went for a grab for Jungshin's head, laughing.
"Sinchia hyung. Just admit it, it's because of her right?" Jungshin asked as he tried to avoid Yong Hwa's grip. "So how's the trip just now?"
Yong Hwa smiled. Seriously, he really had a fun time with Seo Joo Hyun. That is the name he is missing currently. All the activities they did earlier is still fresh on his mind. It was practically the best day ever.
"Hyung-ah. Stop smiling. Just tell us." Minhyuk teased.
"Aish you kids! You're still too young to know about this." Yong Hwa grinned.
"Young? Sinchia. Don't underestimate us." Jungshin raised an eyebrow.
"Did she like it? The goguma field I mean." Jonghyun asked. "Since you had a hard time thinking of what to give her for the past few weeks."
"She yeah, she loves it. That smile, when I told her about the gift, it's magic."
"Ommo! Magic?" Jungshin grinned.
"Shut up you punk. I'm telling you this because it's the real thing ok." Yong Hwa said, throwing a pillow at Jungshin, the joker in CNBlue. "And she asked about Love Light, like really asked. Aigoo! I had such a hard time explaining, especially with the cameras around."
"How did she react?"
"She looks happy to know it's dedicated for her. And she even sang a few verses for me." Yong Hwa said proudly.
"Wah!" The three CNBlue boys cried in awe.
"I just love looking at her flushed face. She looks so shy singing it to me. Sinchia! It's playing in my mind right now."
"Oh ok, stop. I think we get it. Please don't get too cheesy here." Jungshin held up his hand.
"Wae? I'm not talking to you, I'm talking to Jonghyun and Minhyuk." Yong Hwa said as he pushed Jungshin away from the sofa.
"Hyung-ah, you have a brand new ring! How come we didn't know?" Minhyuk pulled Yong Hwa's left hand towards him to take a good look at the new couple ring.
"Um that's a present from Hy~un." Yong Hwa smiled, feeling a bit shy declaring this to his dongsaengs. "She got us new couple rings. They're silver, see."
"Ah. I'm feeling jealous already." Minhyuk said.
"Go get married then!" Jungshin teased.
"I'm just saying."
"Saying what? You want to get married?"
"Aish! What is wrong with you?"
"What is wrong with you?"
As Jungshin and Minhyuk continued with their argument with each other, Yong Hwa managed to throw a please-settle-this-look to Jonghyun before retreating to his bedroom. He threw himself on the bed and closed his eyes for a second sitting up again to reach for his backpack. He took out the children's book Seo Hyun referred it to and laid down again. Yong Hwa turned the pages, smiling at every picture he sees. He could really feel his heart thumping hard whenever his eyes landed on Seo Hyun's pictures. 'Did we just somewhat confess of our feelings to each other at the pond just now?' Yong Hwa thought, feeling giddy at the same time.
Her smile, her flushed cheeks, her sweet laughter, her sparkling eyes were all the things Yong Hwa was thinking about. Even with the cameras rolling, he could feel that there was something hidden behind it. The moment he held Seo Hyun's hands for the first time, he felt secure. Her small delicate hand, that hand fit his perfectly. It was a wonderful moment. Precious moment. Unforgettable.
*********
"You're not sleeping yet? It's three in the morning you know?" Yong Hwa whispered into his phone, grinning from ear to ear.
"Aniyo. I was busy thinking." Seo Hyun's whispered voice was on the line. She was trying to talk as softly as she could so as not to disturb her sleeping Hyoyeon unnie.
"Thinking? About what? Us?" Yong Hwa asked daringly, smile never leaving his face.
"Um. About what we did today. I had fun. Komawo oppa." Seo Hyun said, she could feel heat rising in her cheeks.
"I had fun too Hyun. It's a meaningful day for me too."
"I-I love the necklace you gave me." Seo Hyun said as she fingers the butterfly necklace. "I'm sure omma will love it too."
"Jeongmal? It's a small gift which I am able to afford."
Silence passed between their conversation for a few seconds. Each one was thinking of what to say next without letting the other know how shy they were even if it was just talking through the phone.
"Seo Joo Hyun," Yong Hwa called out softly.
"Ne,"
"I want to hear you sing Love Light again."
"Ne?"
"I miss your voice. Sing it for me, sing me to sleep."
Seo Hyun shifted uncomfortably on her bed. "Andwae oppa. Hyoyeonie unnie is sleeping."
"Please..." Yong Hwa was half-begging her with a pout on his lips, which she was not able to see.
She just could not resist him like that. So she gathered up her courage and started to sing Love Light through the phone, half singing and half whispering.
"....den na eh sarang bit..." Seo Hyun felt herself blushing as her singing ended. "How was it?"
"Jashik. Komawo Hyun-ah. It feels like my very own personal lullaby. I like it."
"I like the song oppa. It gives a very special and deep meaning."
"Hm... You like the song? Sinchia?"
"Really oppa, I wouldn't lie to you."
"Then do you like the composer too?"
"Aigoo! What is this question?
"What? It is just a question."
"You're giving me a hard time oppa." Seo Hyun whined. "I need to hang up soon. I have a schedule tomorrow."
Yong Hwa gave out a laugh. He really enjoys making Seo Hyun nervous. He could just imagine her face right now, all red and shy. "Ok, if you answer my question, we will hang up soon."
"Ah? Ottoke?"
"Ottoke?" Yong Hwa teased. "Just say, I like the composer too. Or to make it easier, I like you oppa."
"Aish sinchia..." Seo Hyun closed her eyes,feeling very embarrased. But at the same time her mind replayed the moment when Yong Hwa pestered to ask the question who he wrote Love Light for earlier that evening.
"Hyun, I'm waiting. Please." Yong Hwa whined. He really wanted to hear it badly from his love light. It was the only way for him to know how she felt for him. Is it similar to what he felt?
Silence.
"I like you oppa. Like you very much." Seo Hyun whispered.
"Hm... I feel good knowing this."
"Ok oppa, we'll talk another day."
"No wait. Don't you want to ask me if I like you as well?" Yong Hwa said hurriedly, never wanting the conversation to end.
"I don't think I have the confidence to ask. Because, because I... I have my reasons." Seo Hyun bit her lips.
"What reasons? I want to know."
"Um... Um..." Seo Hyun took a deep breath, "I don't to be heartbroken by your answer."
Yong Hwa chuckled. 'How could I not like this girl, even the reason she gave is cute!' Yong Hwa thought.
"I like you Hyun. Nomu nomu choa eh. You are my love light, how could I not like you!"
Seo Hyun thought that she could just die and go to heaven after hearing her virtual husband's confession. "Komawo oppa. I think I could sleep comfortable after this."
"Me too. And I want you to know that I am very sincere about this." Yong Hwa's tone turned serious. He wanted to make sure that Seo Hyun really understood that he meant what he said.
"Ok oppa. I know." Seo Hyun nodded. "Will you let me go to sleep now?"
"Ok, now you can sleep. I need the rest as well."
"Good night oppa."
"Good night my sarang bit.."

This fanfic was written before Episode 28 was aired. It is a little sad that Yong did not even contact Hyun for a month after the birthday episode...
