“Dara!Wake up! it’s your first day for the University. Do you want to be late?”
She woke up on the sound of loud thumping on her bedroom door caused by her loud, obnoxious and over protective brother Teddy Park a.k.a Ted “For goodness sake Dara! Seriously? why are you so lazy.? wake up already! Before I bust this door open and drag you out of your bed!”
She grunted, stretching her slender arms above her head.
“Gheez oppa! Stop freaking out will ya? I’m awake! can you stop that!” She yelled at him through the close door. Swinging her legs off her bed and stuffed her feet into her pink piggy slippers.
“Today is my first day. I hope to meet the girls” she thought as she walked away from her room pulling the door close. She walked hurriedly down the hall, passing Teddy’s room, thinking of ways of getting back at him if ever her brother decides to play and act all cool, scary and randomly stupid. The possibility of humiliating her in public was high enough for her to wish that they wouldn’t see each other on campus more often.
“Ya! Sis!” She saw him peeked through his slightly opened door, smirking at her. Something tells her that behind his lopsided grin was a ridiculously-well-planned-keep-Dara-safe-plot “Ready for today sis??
“Ya! What are you planning? You better not humiliate me today Oppa!” She glared at him, eyes bulging white out of its socket.
Teddy laughed. “You should tell that to your self Dara. And don’t bother calling me oppa there” He rolled his eyes then scanned his sister’s appearance down from her unmanicured toes to her sloppily bunned hair. “Why do you even have to keep that freaky wardrobe? and that nerdy black rimmed spectacles? I want my sister to be beautiful too you know!” Teddy mocked and grinned at her while hurriedly run downstairs..
“Teddy Oppa!” She shouted at him as she threw one of her pink piggy slippers at him hitting his broad back. She laughed, sticking her tongue out at him.
“how could you tell me that? I’m not like those girls who’s pretty and yet so dumb! Aaiissshhhh” She went into the washroom for a quick shower, reminding herself to give her stupid brother a proper beating later.
Sandara Park, a self proclaimed loner and dork. She wears nerdy dress and glasses not because she can’t afford to buy those pretty clothes but because she choose to be that way. She always hated Teddy whenever he bugs her about having a makeover. She believes that not every jock wishes to date a pretty dumb girl. She hoped that some would actually prefer someone with inner beauty and intelligence. Someone like her perhaps? Only until now… no one seems to come and appreciates her inner beauty and intelligence. That she could only laugh at herself for even thinking of finally meeting one real love.
But her brother would always disagree with her when it comes to matters of beauty and being with the In crowd. He’s famous alright, but his grades were failing. What’s so good about being good looking and famous when you won’t be able to graduate and feed your family?

After good shower she hurriedly went downstairs and run into the kitchen, pulled herself some cereals and milk and shove it into her mouth with great urgency, choking herself a little.
“I need to go Mom. I’ll see you later alright?” She placed a kiss into her mother forehead and was literally running towards her car, driving off from her house to her school. She wasn’t sure what made her wanted to be at school that early when she wasn’t really running late for her first class. Maybe the planned meeting with her friends at the university lounge for a short chat before going to class excites her that much.
As she walk towards the lounge she saw them chit chatting and laughing. She happily skipped towards them and sat down beside her bestfriend Bom.
“So… how’s vacation? Did you meet some guys?” Bom asked her
“Ummm… Yes I met quite a few but like most of the time I’m not really into them” She lied. How could she possibly meet a guy when she’s just at home sleeping, resting and reading? But of course, she could not just tell them that or they’ll laugh their butts off at her.
Bom looked at her, glaring like a mad woman. Dara knew that her best friend hated it when she lies to her. And that she doesn’t believe her. Park Bom is one of her few friends who knew her more than herself. Dara pouted at her giving her the ohh-please-Bommie-don’t-say-anything-look” but she started to open her mouth and spoke….
“You don’t expect us to believe you Dara do you?” She can see her eyebrows curved upward, as if challenging her to lie more. “Ahhh this girl. How can she?” She thought. She started to see her four friends’ faces turned towards her. Sporting their undeniably cute please-tell-us face. But then they glared at her like she’d done something wrong.
“Ohh shoot! they’re quiet scary” Dara started to move, backing away slowly from them.
“What the….? Okay! Okay! I’m just at home! Reading and sleeping. Goshhh! Do you need to stare at me like that?”
“Hey Dara! You know what? We all have boyfriends now. Except for you of course” CL said as she turned away to look at the coming crowd.
Dara acted hurt “Ouch! Do you need to say that out loud? I’m not competing or anything. I’d rather think about my studies than boys you know” She told them nonchalantly but of course she thought….. “it will be really nice to have one” she have always dream of her prince. The perfect one for her. Although she find it disgusting to see couple making out in front of her or in the street. She somehow felt jealous. “Will it be good to have someone holding your hands during winter and eating ice cream together during summer….and… kissing you during…… but eww!” She whacked her forehead with her palm “I can’t believe I’m thinking of that!”
“Hey Dara! since all of us have boyfriends let’s just make one for you. What do you think?” Bom said, confusing her.
“What??? what do you mean make one for me??? Ok.. I admit, I’m intelligent and all.. but this is so way out!”
“I mean you’ll feel left out right? so we’ll just have to make you one And pretend he’s out of the country or something” Dara was puzzled. She didn’t get that right or have she?
“Guys! This is stupid! What for?” She laughed.
“Come on! it’ll be fun making an imaginary boyfriend. it’s stupid alright but what to lose if we try right? it’s not like we’re creating something or getting a real guy to be your boyfriend”
“What do you exactly mean? And yes! I do agree.. this is stupid!” She glared at Bom.
Her friends rolled their eyes at her.
“Okay tell me. What do you imagine your boyfriend to be? Like his name?? how tall?? His car?? His hair?? What are his interest? Talent?? Stuffs like that” Bom kept mumbling.
“Hmmm…” She paused to think for a while. Her right index finger run smoothly under her jaw and chin.
“Alright! Although this is kind of weird but I also think it’ll be fun. Besides I always imagine my prince before I sleep at night. so… what the heck!”
Her friends squealed with delight as they huddled closer together.
“Ok. let’s think about his name first” she scooted closer to face her friends.
“okay” they started to giggle. “Since we’re making it then let’s make it cool. like Cho or something”
“Cho??? Nope! I don’t really like the sound of it” She paused “Since I like simple and common ones, how about Kim? i don’t know i just find that one cool and it seems believable right?”
“Yeah, I guess Kim is alright. Hmm… and his name?” they ask her again, eagerness evident on their faces. Making Dara silently chuckled
“Hmm… it should be unique and something pretty” one of her friends added
“like you know. In English… like Jordan or something” Dara giggled, continuing her stare on the ceiling above her.
“that’s it! “JJ” Let’s just forget what it stands for. It doesn’t matter anyway !” CL impatiently tapped her finger on the table.
“Cool! It’s settle then… Kim JJ” Dara’s face flushed, mysteriously just saying that name brought a smile to her face.
“so what do you want him to be?” they ask again and before she knew it she was enumerating her ideal man.
“He must be tall, well built, nice tone abs and arms. Hmmm… small face but well chiseled jawline, big round eyes, light colored hair, someone who dresses well, a bit of a bad boy aura… i’m always attracted to a rocker bad boy type” She giggled imagining that. “he drives a dark blue lexus car, he sings really well and… hmmm…. I guess thats it” Dara saw her friends eyes widened as they look at the ceiling of their school lounge. “Are they imagining him now?”
“Yah! What are you guys doing??” She nudged them one at a time as they snapped out of their dreamland.
“Dara… your boyfriend is sooo perfect” Minji can’t help but to drool while imagining Kim JJ.
She laughed at them. “of course he’s perfect! I have to imagine him. Since it’s just an imaginary one, I should make him as the most handsome one. Who would imagine an ugly guy as her ideal boyfriend.. come on!”

After that conversation they went into their own classes. Dara couldn’t help but to conclude that it was indeed a fun chat. She found herself happily skipping into her classroom as she dreamingly thought of her new perfect imaginary boyfriend. She giggled but immediately realized that she must have been crazy. She frown, How come she have been too absorbed with that stuff? “Ok.. I played along with my friends. I admit that it’s fun but how come I am actually thinking of my PIB?”
“Oh my GOD! I am in love with a non existing human!” she gasp, slapping herself on the process.

She sat on the front row like how she usually wanted it and waited for the class to start. She hated how the classroom was populated by overgrown bees a.k.a students who find pleasure into chitchatting nonsense things. The loud buzzing soon died down as their teacher came in to start the class. Much to her relief of course.
The professor has been calling for their attendance.
“Bae Seulgi?”
“Here!”
“Cho Sungmin?”
“here!”
“Im Minyoung?”
“here!”
“Jung Heeyoung?”
“here!”
“Kim Jaejoong”
“HERE!”
“What!?” Dara’s eyes widened. “Kim Jaejoong? Kim JJ? Did I hear it right??? am I still imagining his name?” She kept mumbling to herself making sure to give her poor forehead a slap “Ok I did hear it!”
Her heart was beating fast as she tried to glanced back to where he was sitting. She looked back and scanned every boy’s faces.
And then she saw him…
She gasp for air as her dry mouth fell open as soon as she saw him. He was exactly the same as what she described him to be….
He’s Kim Jaejoong, Sandara Park’s perfect imaginary boyfriend…. No more!
