"But I still can't believe it was him who took the pictures..." Yoobin said. Sunye twitched with every word, but she hid it well from her best friend. She could only smile and nod and pretend that she wasn't feeling any pain inside. She tried to find the right words to encourage her.
"Well, I guess it just proves how much he likes you," she said with a forced smile. Yoobin was too confused and maybe happy to notice.
"But doesn't that make him a stalker?" Yoobin wondered and Sunye shrugged. Sunye still couldn't push away the feelings but if it was Taeyang who really signed her up in the contest and took the pictures of her, it showed how much she had no chance.
"You showed him your real smile, didn't you?" Sunye said and realized that it must've been her smile that made him fall in love. That was the reason why the other guys from younger days fell in love with her, too.
Yoobin shrugged. "I really don't remember. I was so used to not showing my so called 'legendary' smile to anyone, even though I find nothing legendary beneath my normal smile."
"It's beautiful," a voice came in. Sunye and Yoobin turned to the direction of the voice and found Mr. Kang standing there. "Yoobin-ah, I must say that you are indeed one of the most photogenic people in the history of my teachings."
Yoobin smiled sheepishly. "Thank you. What brings you here?"
Mr. Kang smiled at the two girls. "Well, you know how B4B was preparing for their debut?" The girls nodded. Of course they knew, although they really expected to debut together or near the same time. "Your CEO has granted permission for you to go to the same training ground as them."
Yoobin and Sunye's jaws dropped after hearing what Mr. Kang had just said. Yoobin was the first to speak. "You mean... that we can... debut, too?"
Mr. Kang flashed a smile. "It's part of the training session. It seems that you two have been doing very well in your school work so that can give you a chance to focus more in debuting now."
Sunye and Yoobin looked at each other and smiled greatly. They clapped their hands and cheered in a quiet voice, not forgetting they were still in a library. Mr. Kang gave them a folder and smiled.
"So you see, you have to take off in two days. I hope this gives you enough time to pack. Read over the documents in here and all the information will be there. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to ask me," Mr. Kang explained. The girls nodded as they started to flip over the files. "Well, good luck girls. And congratulations again, Yoobin."

"We will be leaving in five minutes," the captain said over the intercom. Sunye and Yoobin buckled their seat belts after Yoobin grabbed her brand new Macbook.
"I'm so excited~" Yoobin said energetically, all hyped up. They were on a Korean Air airplane and were ready to go to Starmin Island. [ pretend that it's another country ] "It's like we get to go in an adventure. Don't you remember how much we loved going on 'journeys' together? But this time it's coming true!"
Sunye nodded and smiled as she leaned her back against the comfy soft seat and held a magazine in front of her, a new issue she just bought in the airport. She wanted to distract herself from the thought of training with B4B, but her concern mostly went to the Taeyang issue. She sighed and opened to the first page, quickly skimming through it. Yoobin started to type some things in her laptop, the keys clicking everywhere because of her fast typing skills. They were to board soon, so Yoobin carefully placed the Macbook back into her bag. She leaned back and started to talk to Sunye.
"We're only going to stay there for one and a half week, right?" Yoobin said and Sunye grumbled some stuff that confirmed it.
"Yoobin-ah!" She suddenly said as the plane started taking off. Yoobin giggled since Sunye was beside the window, still open.
"What, are you scared? Is this your first time in an airplane?" Yoobin asked but Sunye shook her head and pointed to a page at the magazine. Yoobin took a peek at the page and her eyes widened. She snatched the magazine and put it up close to her face. "Yah... are you kidding me? How did it..."
Sunye looked at it once more and had no doubts. "That's you."
Yoobin gulped and turned to the side, wondering how many people knew about her. "At least we get some fame already..." Sunye tried to say, cheering her up. What was important for Yoobin was the music and the passion inside her, not about the super popularity that she could get. She sighed, knowing that there was no helping it.
- - -
They arrived at the airport in four hours and looked around, feeling the hot weather on their soft, white skin.
"It's so beautiful!" Yoobin said as she put on her red and white cap that matched with her outfit. She was wearing a red t-shirt type sweater over her sleeveless white plaid top. Her white skinny jeans looked bright while her white Nikes with red laces shone against the light. Sunye squinted as she looked up at the cloudless and blue sky. She opened her blue handbag and took out her white and light blue framed sunglasses. Yoobin and Sunye looked at each other and smiled, preparing themselves for what's ahead of them.
After a small nap, Yoobin decided to take a look around the hotel, leaving Sunye in the room alone to finish her usually long naps. Yoobin walked around the lobby, wondering if there was any interesting places to go to.
"Do people in Starmin Island speak Korean, too?" she wondered as she looked around the place. She opened her phone and wondered if she was able to contact anyone that she knows. The first name that popped up wasn't Taeyang though... it was TOP.
She shook her head. "Taeyang! I should call Taeyang," she said and started to dial some numbers. She crossed her fingers, hoping he would answer. It rang a few times before someone answered it.
"Yeobosaeyo?" a light voice, but definitely not Taeyang's, answered. Yoobin asked who it was and found that it was maknae Seung Ri.
"You're here, too?" Seung Ri asked, Yoobin heard the excitement. "Hurry and come here!"
Yoobin laughed. "Yah, I don't even know where you are or how to get there, you think I can go there all of a sudden?"
Seung Ri agreed with her and decided that they should all meet when they weren't busy. Yoobin and Seung Ri chatted for a few minutes before Seung Ri had to go.
--- --- ---
"Hyung!" Seung Ri called out when he saw Taeyang walk inside the hotel room. All five boys, B4B and Taeyang, shared the same hotel room and for trainees, their room was pretty luxurious. Taeyang grabbed a drink from the silver refrigerator as he looked at the maknae. "What is it?"
"Yoobin just called. I answered it for you since I saw her CID. It seemed to ring on and on. Looks like she was desperate to talk to SOMEONE." Taeyang was drinking water at the moment, and spat it all out after he heard the first sentence.
"Yoobin just called?!" Taeyang repeated and Seung Ri nodded. He threw the expensive cell phone across the room, Taeyang luckily catching it before it touched the ground. "Yah, why didn't you tell me?"
"You weren't here," Seung Ri said and rolled his eyes as he sat down on the huge white leather sofa. He grabbed the remote and turned on the TV. Taeyang sat down beside him as he held on his cell phone, as if someone he expected was going to call soon at any moment now.
"Yah, hyung, why don't you just call her?" Taeyang shook his head. He had to know if it was really her, but he had called her too many times. He, being a player, knew it wasn't good to call girls ALL THE TIME or else they'll feel annoyed.
"Call who?" Jiyong asked as he, Dae Sung, and TOP came in.
"Call --"
"Noona!" Taeyang said, quickly covering Seung Ri's mouth. Taeyang smiled innocently and slowly let go of Seung Ri's mouth and giving him an evil glare, threatening him if he said anything.
Jiyong nodded, but with his observation skills, he can guess that it had something to do with Yoobin. TOP, however, did not notice anything. Jiyong sighed. He couldn't help TOP or else it would be unfair for Taeyang, too. 'It's their fight,' he thought to himself and headed to his room. TOP and Dae Sung joined Seung Ri and Taeyang in the living room, watching some English programs that they don't quite understand.
Dae Sung pulled out a magazine he received from their Korean choreographer. "Ah~ finally something Korean!" Dae Sung said and flipped through some pages. Everything was quiet until Dae Sung had a sudden spasm, suddenly yelling, "AH! Y-Yoo-b-b-b-in-ssi!"
"Stop stuttering!" Seung Ri said. TOP and Taeyang suddenly moved beside him on both sides, flattening Dae Sung in between.
"Where?" the two rivals both said and looked at the page, filled with Yoobin's pictures. TOP gasped, remembering the pictures that he took. 'How'd it get to the whole WORLD?' he wondered. 'If I knew this was going to happen... Yoobin's only mine!' he thought and looked at Taeyang's surprised face. "Yoobin, looks amazing."
"She always does..." TOP muttered. Seung Ri rolled his eyes but looked at the pictures anyway.
"WHOA! Yoobin-ssi?!" Seung Ri shouted, finding her beauty unbelievable. "ARE YOU SERIOUS?! She was the same girl I was talking to on the phone?"
TOP turned his head and stared at Seung Ri who was given a deathly glare by Taeyang for revealing it. "What do you mean...?" TOP started. Seung Ri gave an apologetic smile to Taeyang, knowing that he can't help but tell TOP.
"Well, I talked to her today... it seems we're going to be meeting her anytime soon," he said slowly. Taeyang didn't hear about this either, so both Taeyang and TOP shouted, "WHAT?!"
"Yeah, she's in Starmin Island too. Apparently, their going to train here for about a week and few days. But I told her that we could meet when everyone's not busy --"
"We're not busy at all!" Both Taeyang and TOP shouted, harassing Seung Ri for all the information he held. Seung Ri tried to back them off.
"Yah, let's plan it, RIGHT NOW!"
--- --- ---
Sunye, wearing black flats and a short white skirt with black tights underneath and a layered rugged stripe tank top and the same sunglasses as the day before at the airport, waited patiently with Yoobin. She wore black wooly shorts, with a Banc fitted t-shirt, and after she adjusted her Korean crochet plushy hat, she tied the straight laces of her plain black and white canvas sneakers. Yoobin looked at her watch again and found that the boys were fifteen minutes late.
"Aigoo, where are they?" Yoobin asked, feeling the irritancy coming. Sunye told her to cool down but Yoobin just countered it by saying that with the very warm weather in Starmin Island, she wasn't feeling cool at all. She finally stopped complaining when she felt arms covering her eyes. The moment reminded her so much of that day when they were about to rehearse... she turned around to see Taeyang wearing a black hat tilting a bit to the side, the way he usually wore it. His shirt was exactly fitting on him, revealing some of his muscles, and his jeans were normal but still probably expensive, his belt buckle a Superman one. Behind him were Dae Sung and Seung Ri and they bowed slightly and waved; the two girls did the same. Yoobin felt her heart sink when she noticed that someone else wasn't hear. She tried to cover it by asking where Jiyong was.
"He and TOP should be coming anytime soon," Dae Sung said.
"Well we should go now!" Yoobin said hurriedly and started to walk. She remembered that she wasn't supposed to be thinking about TOP anymore, only Taeyang. Taeyang grabbed her hand and stopped her.
"What's the rush? It's not like the place we're going to is going to disappear anytime soon. And we haven't seen each other in so long..." Taeyang said, feeling a "cute" moment coming along but Yoobin just shattered his dreams when she said, "No time for that."
Seung Ri and Dae Sung giggled as they watched Taeyang's moment of rejection, probably not ever going to happen, only to Yoobin.
"Hyung! Jiyong-hyung just called me. He said they won't be coming until a little later. Told us to go on without them," Seung Ri said to Taeyang after reading the message in his light blue cell phone. Yoobin tried not to feel disappointed. 'TOP isn't the right guy,' she constantly repeated to herself.
"Well then, let's go!" Taeyang said and held tightly onto Yoobin's hands and started leading the way, with the other three behind them. Sunye was at the very back and felt very forgotten, but she tried to smile, as long as the people she loved were happy, no matter how much it cut her heart.
- - -
"Yo!" Jiyong said as he sat down at a table with the two girls. "Where's the rest?"
"They apparently had a 'surprise' performance for us. They left a few minutes ago and coming back shortly. TOP isn't with you?" Sunye asked. Jiyong shook his head and said he was going to come in a few minutes. Sunye whispered something to Yoobin for a second, saying she'll be back soon. Yoobin nodded and smiled. Sunye left in a dash, heading straight for the bathroom. Jiyong wondered why Yoobin wasn't eating and she explained how Taeyang said they were going to a restaurant.
"It's been so long!" Jiyong said and Yoobin agreed with a great smile. "Your smile in the picture was astounding by the way."
She smiled at him, but it wasn't the same smile. That smile seemed to only come up unintentional and when she's feeling the best moment of her life. "But surely you've seen them from Taeyang already."
Jiyong gave her a confused smile. "What do you mean?"
"Surely he told you. He was the one who signed me up in the modeling contest," Yoobin pointed out and Jiyong suddenly became more confused. "Who knew he would be such a stalker?" She gave a small giggle at the thought, not getting creeps anymore since she knew it was Taeyang after all.
"Don't you mean TOP?" Jiyong said, and this time it was Yoobin who felt puzzled. "It was him who signed you up."
"What?" she asked and at the same time, TOP approached them with a serious expression. He held back the urge to hug her right then and there and receive a major slap and speech from her. He had to look good on this 'first' impression. Jiyong nudged her to ask him herself and she did, she had to make sure.
"TOP... I have a question for you..." she said slowly, not wanting to be TOO direct. TOP gulped, wondering if this was the 'MAGIC' question, asking him if he liked her too. "Was it you who signed me up for the modeling contest?"
TOP's heart sank. He seriously did not expect that. He glared at Jiyong who probably revealed the information. "Umm..." he said, wondering if he should answer yes, the truth, or say no. "No, of course not..." he said finally, and Yoobin sighed in relief. Jiyong looked at him, wondering why he had said that. Sunye came back soon and Jiyong and TOP left for a few minutes to talk.
"Yah, why'd you say you didn't sign her up?" Jiyong asked him as they walked around the huge mall. TOP shrugged.
"Didn't you say I looked like a stalker and I was going to scare her? I don't want her to get all tensed and think that I stalked her."
"Even though you did," Jiyong muttered as he rolled his eyes. "Now look, she thinks it was Taeyang who signed her up AND taken the pictures of her."
TOP's eyes widened and shot a look at Jiyong. "Are you serious?"
"Positive," Jiyong said in English. He attracted some cute girls with his cute Korean accent. But he ignored them [aish, JIYONG<3].
"AISH! That Taeyang is gonna get it! Let's go back!" TOP demanded and stomped all the way back to the food court to find no one at the table. "They left?!"
Jiyong laughed quietly behind so that TOP wouldn't shout at him. "Yah, I think we should put the action into plan."
TOP looked at Jiyong and grinned. "You're a genius, Jiyong! You are our Kwon-leadah!"
Jiyong smiled at him. "Thank you, thank you," he said and faked a bow. "Now let's go!"
--- --- ---
"I'm going to confess to her today," Taeyang said to Seung Ri and Dae Sung. "So after giving her food to eat, I'll make sure to propose to her."
The two young ones smiled. "We got it! Good luck, hyung," they both said. Taeyang gave them a thankful smile and headed back to the food court. "Let's go?"
The girls nodded. "Ah, isn't Jiyong coming?" Sunye asked but Yoobin shook her head. "He said he and TOP has to do something, I guess..." she said, thinking that they weren't coming back.
- - -
They arrived at the restaurant and after eating a few meals, Taeyang felt the cue to go. Before he did, he made sure everything had to perfect. He excused himself so that he could check himself out in the bathroom. The others nodded. 'Only a few more minutes,' he thought as he smiled to himself. He was really hoping that she would be ready for a real relationship and that she wouldn't look at TOP anymore. The two girls chatted with the other two young members of B4B as they waited for Taeyang to return.
A few minutes passed and Taeyang returned after fixing his hat and making sure his clothes were perfect. He even put a bit more cologne, not too strong, and some gum to make sure his breath smelled fresh. He walked up to her with a bright smile.
"Yoobin-ah, is it okay if we leave a bit earlier than planned?" Taeyang said as he held out his hand for her to take. "You guys can have dessert. We'll be back," he said and smiled sneakily at the boys. He hoped to come back with some good news. The guys nodded and Sunye smiled, an unusual smile that somehow showed pain. Taeyang shrugged the thought off as he held Yoobin's hands.
The two held hands as they walked down the dark street. The lights went on and it seemed as if they were walking in their own world, for Taeyang at least. Taeyang's heart was beating fast, a feeling he's never had before, while Yoobin felt a bit of anxiety and worry. 'What do I feel for Taeyang...?' she thought. She didn't want to hurt him, but she didn't know if she should stick with him and learn to love him. She was slowly feeling something but she wasn't sure if it was exactly love. It was still so different when she's around TOP. Taeyang stopped in front of a building and smiled at her.
"I'll be back," he said. "I just need to get something from the car."
Yoobin nodded and stayed where she was, hoping that Taeyang would come back soon. The wind blew as the silence kept still. She jumped when she heard a loud sound coming from the building. The building was filled with lights in the outside, very fancy and luxurious inside, too. She walked inside, wondering if something had happened. She heard the loud sound again and as she walked in, everything seemed to be unrealistic, it was as if she was in her own ideal world, away from the normal boring life she lived. She continued to walk until she reached a door, where the sound seemed to be coming from. 'Should I open it?' she wondered, very close to touching the golden knobs of the door. She heard the sound again and she really wanted to know what it was.
She decided to text Taeyang, saying she'll be back in a few. The text said, "Taeyang-ah, sorry for leaving. I'll be back in a few, if you're looking for me, I went inside the building after hearing a loud sound. Someone might be in danger, okay? I'll be back!"
Yoobin didn't know why she felt her heart beating as she opened the door and stepped inside. A long hall stretched out in front of her but this didn't stop her. There was no turning back.
'What have I gotten myself into?' she thought to herself.
