LET'S KEEP IT A SECRET

Chapter 9

"I just really want to be with you."

This phrase still lingers in my mind and it's been 3 days after we've met. I wonder what GD was thinking back then?
After the make-over session I had, I searched for trendy fashion styles and kept my new look. It's a fresh start I guess, to a
whole new world.

"Since when are you interested in those?" Chaerin asked.

She was in Japan for 3 days and this is the first time I've seen her again. She was shocked at first and it was hilarious!
Her mouth was literally wide open! She blinked her eyes and rubbed them and blinked them and rubbed them again and again. I was just laughing at her the whole time. Picturing it over and over makes me laugh.

"I don't know. It just came to me."

I haven't told her about GD yet and I kind of don't plan to. She might get hysterical and stop me from meeting him, if we were to meet again. I think it's just luck that I was able to meet with him.

"You should've just asked me! I'm an expert at this remember?"

I just smiled at her and continued my surfing. I found different styles that, well, does not fit me. It's pretty but it's
just not my style, I guess.

"This one suits you." Chaerin pointed to a certain style.

I don't think so. It's too short.

"Really?"

Is all I could say.

"Come with me, let's go shopping, my treat."

This is why I love her. Yes, that's the only reason I love her. And I am just kidding.
Whenever we go out, it's usually her treat because she knows I do not have money and even if I have, I won't waste it in
something I don't really need and want.

"Thank you!"

We got into a taxi and headed to the mall. It's always packed in there. So many people and I can't handle people very well. Oh,
intrevort problems.

"We're here."

We got out of the car and walked to her favorite store. Yep, the she goes to all the time. People gathered there all the time
like, ca't you guys stop shopping for a day and let your wallets breathe?

"This! This is a masterpiece! Thus totally suits you! I mean, this is actually created for you!"

Yeah it does. Of course it does. Just as I was about to tell her not to pick anything for me anymore, I saw a girl running as if
her life was on the line. I followed her with my eyes and saw an audience gathering up for, I don't know, maybe an event?

"IT'S NAM JOO HYUK!" A girl shouted.

People came to the direction of the crowd, even the staff got in to the commotion. Just how popular is he? Chaerin grabbed my
hand and pulled me towards the crowd. I can't see anything from where we are. I tried tip-toeing and jumping, I still can't see
anything, just his hair. The crowd started to lose control. Every was pushing each other. This is the worst. I can't breathe.
Chaerin got separated from me and my voice won't  come out of my mouth and I can't even call out to him or even excuse myself
from people.

"AND NOW FOR OUR SPECIAL GUEST! EVERYONE MUST BE SO PLEASED TO MEET HIM! THE GUY WHO TOOK THE SOCIAL MEDIA BY STORM! EVERYONE
PLEASE WELCOME CHOI SEUNGHYUN!"

The announcer announced what he has to announce so everyone could hear his announcement. What am I thinking really? My throat
feels like it's closing up. I need help. I searched for Chaerin, probably she's nearby. My vision started to blur and I got
dizzy.

"YA! DARA! DARA! WAKE-UP! PLEAASE!"

I could hear this faint voice, but I can't puzzle out who's voice that is. I slowly opened my eyes and saw Chaerin sitting beside
me. Where am I and How did I even get here? The last thing I saw was Choi Seunghyun waving in front of his fans.

"DARA! ARE YOU OKAY?! WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?!"

She was shaking me already. Please stop, Chaerin-ah. My voice won't still come out. I slowly got up, placing my hand to my
pounding head. It hurts like crazy. My breathing is fine now.

"Where are we?"

"In the hospital, you collapsed. Good thing there were medical people nearby."

I nodded slightly. She asked me to lay down again as she can see that my head still seems to be hurting.

"What happened to the event?"

"How can you worry about that when you collapsed in front of me?"

I saw him come in from the entance. It's really nice to see him.
