[FF] THE BEAST'S SKY: Under Arrest

Haneul sat beside Hyunseung who was driving calmly. She didn’t dare to ask any question although all words had already been in the tip of her tongue. For a second she looked at the beautiful boy and looked away through the window. The car walked smoothly on the road of Gangnam.

“What is it, Haneul ssi?” Suddenly Hyunseung asked Haneul out of his curiosity. He must know that Haneul had stared at him just now. “Is there something you want to ask?”

Haneul gazed him with a strong gaze. Hyunseung smiled and turned on the radio. “Wanna listen to some good songs?” Haneul knew the boy just tried to make everything easy for her, and him –both of them.

“You know, Hyunseung ssi, this is pretty awful that you turn on the radio to let me hear some good songs when I practically never get interested into music to melt down this awkward moment. So, just elaborate this situation, period.” Haneul frowned which made Hyunseung couldn’t hold back his laughter. “What?” Haneul crossed her hands in front of her chest.

“You are beyond adorable.” He whispered, Haneul felt that she blushed a little.

“I am… not.” She hissed. “But, if you really mean it, thank you.”

“Ha-ha-ha…,” Hyunseng laughed before taking the brake because of the traffic. “I know pretty well about Dujun. But, I don’t know that you are actually as interesting as him.” He closed his lips, trying to not laugh again, but failed. “I am sorry.” He sighed. “I just can’t…. So, you don’t like music?” He asked, in a funny way. “Pretty weird and nice…. Books maybe?”

Haneul looked at him in a daze. Books maybe? Of course I love books! “Can’t we just into the point, Hyunseung ssi? What are you doing here driving me to some place that I don’t know because this road doesn’t take me to my home?” Haneul still demanded an explanation of the weird today.

“Why? You don’t like to hang out with me?” He chuckled. “I am a quite good companion though.” He added. “I can even keep your secret.”

“Yeah, it is because you don’t talk a lot.” Haneul said in a fully sarcasm. “Do you?”

“Yeah,” He smiled. How many times have this guy smiled to me? Haneul rolled her eyes, something fishy happened here. “Because I don’t like to talk a lot, how bout we get to the more real stuff?” He let another smile form in his lips.

The car had stopped.

“Where is it?” Haneul looked to the shop in front of the parking lot where Hyunseung parked his car. “What is it about?” She asked the boy who supposed to sit still on his seat but he’s gone. “Huh, Hyunseung ssi?”

“Knock knock.” Someone knocked the window, and it was Hyunseung. “Come on. Let me show you something real.” And he opened the door for her. Haneul didn’t have any choice so she just got out from the car anyway.

She followed Hyunseung who walked fast to the shop. It was a clothes shop. Haneul still tried to connect the dots, when she saw them.

“What are you guys doing here?” Her jaw dropped.

“Unnie!” A girl with chubby cheeks and hair in bun hugged Haneul tightly. “I have missed you…, how are you?” She was Sohyun.

“Hi, unnie!” now it was Jihyun’s turn to hug me.

“Unnie!” And Jiyoon too.

“Yo!” Gayoon was as disrespect as ever. But then both of them smiled and hugged each other. “It’s been awhile. Everything’s okay, nuts?”

“Call me what?” Haneul pushed her. “Nuts?”

“And berries!” Jihyun pointed to Gayoon. And five of them laughed together.

“What are you guys doing here?” Suddenly reality snapped Haneul back and she recalled that these girls were too out of place being here with her and Hyunseung.

“Help you, nuts.” Gayoon said while hugging my shoulder. “Let choose some beautiful dresses for you.”

“For what?” Haneul asked, didn’t really know what was going on here and started to believe that there was no function of even trying to connect the dots. There was no even a dot here. It was completely a dark hole. She was completely lost.

“You will see later, unnie!” Sohyun smiled. “Just choose some you like…, ahh, I miss you a lot.” Haneul always couldn’t resist her sweet tone and the scent of strawberries which so much different with Haneul’s boring perfume scent.

“Is 4Minute doing well?” Haneul asked. Sohyun nodded and whispered something to her ear. “Really?” Then She looked at Jihyun.

“What?” She asked.

“Maknae said you have boyfriend now. Really?” Haneul asked in disbelief. “That guy from ZE:A? Hya…, congratulation!” Haneul laughed. “Any other with hot news?” She looked to the rest of the girls.

“I have.” Gayoon replied. “You.” She pointed to Haneul.

“Me?” She asked.

“You with the dress are the hot news. And it must be done in just an hour from now.” She read her wrist watch. “Wanna kind of help us, nuts?”

“Wha—” Haneul asked but ... “Don’t ask anymore!” Hyunseung yelped. “Help her out, girls!” With that the girls had taken Haneul to the world of clothes and dresses and stuffs, she couldn’t even breathe, and ask. She had been like a prisoner under arrest.

[FF] THE BEAST'S SKY: A Weird Day

Haneul loved any kind of movies, no exception whether it was drama or horror or action or anything else. But, this time Haneul couldn’t enjoy it. Why? The reason was… he watched the movie with a popular guy, called Lee Gikwang –freaking Lee Gikwang, the member of BEAST. It was not like she didn’t know and like him, but she felt the pressure of should have walked along with him. Haneul felt that she must help him to stay save that no one of his fan girls would recognize him. If he was Dujun, Haneul would never feel that way because you know, Dujun seldom asked her to go to cinema. If he really wanted to watch movie he would bring her the DVDs and watch it at home. Bored, yeah, but safe!

After two hours of watching the movie with masks on and sitting side by side, Haneul could finally feel the oxygen –ffuh, time is up, time to go!

“Gikwang ssi…,” Haneul looked at the guy who seemed in a daze, “Are… are… you okay?” Haneul asked when she realized Gikwang’s facial expression.

“Ah, yes, ah, I am okay –it’s just that the movie is… good.” He combed his hair with his fingers. “What is it, Haneul ssi?” Now he looked at Haneul who eyed him. “I know you want to say something. Go ahead…”

“Ehm… the movie had finished… now, may I go home?” Haneul asked.

“Uh, well, aren’t you… alit bit hungry, Haneul ssi?” Gikwang asked while arching one his eyebrows. Haneul looked at him in disbelief –what the heck?

---

I thought Gikwang will bring me to a restaurant, or something like that, but what is it with amusement park in the middle of the day? It’s hot by the way –Haneul sat on a bench while waiting Gikwang who said that he needed to go to the toilet before buying the tickets to enter amusement park. She held a beef burger in her hands. She didn’t expect that Gikwang just merely wanted to buy her a set of beef burger when he asked ‘aren’t you… alit bit hungry, Haneul ssi?’ buhuuuu –my stomach growls, you know!

“Haneul ssi!!!”

Haneul heard voices called her name. She looked around to find the sources. There stood two boys, one was a bit shorter than the other one. “So there you are! Hi hi- annyeong!” the shorter one ran toward Haneul.

“Who are you?” Haneul couldn’t see the face because this guy was just like Gikwang wearing mask to cover his face. The other one did the same thing too. “Do I know you?” Haneul started to get frantic.

“It’s me, Yoseob.” The guy who claimed himself as Yoseob lowered his mask a little, “see?” and put it on again in lightening speed. “And me,” the other one opened his mask a second, “Junhyung-ie.” He chuckled seeing Haneul whose eyes opened widely.

“Guys! What the hell are you both doing here?” Haneul’s eyes started to search for Gikwang. “Where is Gikwang?” She asked. “He said… he wanted to…,”

“There is no Gikwang anymore! It’s now ours!” Junhyung said while embraced Haneul’s shoulder. “Kajaaa!” He screamed. Yoseob led in the front, walked lightly like a little kid.

“Wait –wait… what is it actually?” Haneul whispered to Junhyung. “What you guys trying to do, huh?” There was no an answer from Junhyung, he just completely ignored Haneul.

Haneul couldn’t stop these guys. She felt like she had tried all objects in this amusement park. Yoseob and Junhyung always had full energy –jumped from one place to another one. She could only follow both of them. “You know we have no schedule today, and because it is not in a holiday or weekend this amusement park rather quite, and it feels good, doesn’t it, Junhyung-ie?” Yoseob who suggested to ride another object with a trampoline and net and ropes and… –Haneul couldn’t even define them – linked his arms on her and Junhyung’s shoulders. “Are you ready for the next fun stuff?” He gazed both of his friends.

“I –I… can’t we…,” Haneul tried to whisper something.

“No... no… no… we are not stopping yet…,” Yoseob shook his head.

Haneul looked at Junhyung, wanting some helps, but the boy just shrugged his shoulders, “Sorry. I can’t help it.” Then he followed Yoseob who had already been ready to ride the next object. Haneul frowned and left a sigh.

Ugh. Haneul swept the sweats from her forehead, watching Yoseob and Junhyung playing with balloons. What happened today, seriously? Why these boys appeared before her nose one by one today? She knew that today they had a day off. But, this was not something to be expected if there really were something to expect though. If today were the day off of them, she should be with Dujun instead. Not with these freak guys. Oh yeah, she forgot. She had set the boundary with Dujun. She sighed. “Hi, guys, if you want to still play here and you don’t need me anymore, may I just go home?” Haneul asked in a loud voice made the boys ran towards her.

“Why? Do you have something to do at home? Busy of doing something?” Yoseob sat beside her.

Oh no! I don’t have anything to do. “Of course I do.” Haneul replied. “So, may I?” she asked.

“What business? We can help.” Cut Junhyung.

Oh no! Thank you! I have been busy handling you guys today. “Oh,” Haneul looked taken a back, stared at Junhyung, “Really? You wanna help me?” she stopped, watching Junhyung and Yoseob nodded in sync. “Help me serving my mom and sister at home…,” Haneul crossed her hands in front of her neck, “like a slave…. Oh really, guys? Do not kid me.” She then patted the boys’ hands.

Yoseob and Junhyung looked into each other faces. “Oh.” They hesitated. “We better back off.” Junhyung said while ignoring Haneul’s gaze. Haneul left a mocking smile.

“Well then, let someone take you home.” Yoseob smiled.

“Who?” Haneul asked. Is there another thing they plotting now?

“You will see once we get into the parking lot. Let’s go!” Junhyung and Yoseob dragged Haneul to the parking lot. The girl just couldn’t help but surrender. She got so much shocked when she knew who the ‘you’ that should take her home. He stood there in front of his car. Jang Hyunseung.

Oh, what a weird day!

[FF] The Beast's Sky Poster

This was made by friend of mine (a Beauty)... ugh... she is so kind... hiks me get teary... thank you very much, Fika! ^^bb I will try to finish this one... he-he. Thank you once more!

[FF] THE BEAST'S SKY: A Norm

There… there… they started pick on me… there… there… bring me up to their gossip stuff. Haneul sat on a bench at college’s park, watching five until six girls planted their eyes on to her from the opposite desk. She sighed before finishing her cola and turned her head to her left side where this blond guy sitting like there was nothing wrong in front of his nose, facing his laptop, his hands were busy typing on keyboard. “Dongwoonahh, which one is better, me get captured in their cameras, or me throw this cola can to their faces?” Haneul asked, trying to distract Dongwoon from his research paper. Recently this guy asked her to help him writing –kind of—dialogue to finish his paper about film –or whatever it was, Haneul didn’t really understand and care. “Dongwoonahh, and I think I have been no used here, may I go home?” Haneul continued to talk but he kept ignoring me. It was almost an hour he kept her in this boring place, had a-glaring-and-gazing-and-seeing-and-eyeing-battle with those fan girls of him. Huh.

“Nuna, I don’t think both of them will give you any good benefit.” He suddenly said without looking up from his laptop.

“Huh? –” She looked at him, “What do you mean?”

“I mean… either you get captured in their cameras, or throw that can to their faces, there is no benefit. Once your picture gets taken with me, they are just gonna blur it, just like last time they took photo of me and you, ha-ha-ha, and if you throw the can, they probably will just ‘boo’ on you, nuna. Better don’t do both.” He chuckled. “You are actually safe, nuna, my fans in this college won’t harm you physically, or even dare post it on internet. I can guarantee. Just, endure their verbal attack, okay, nuna?” He seemed lecturing Haneul, made her role her eyes while crossing her arms in front of her chest.

[FF] THE BEAST'S SKY: Coffee Companion

It must have been the quietest days in Haneul’s life after her Dad’s funeral. She came to college like there was nothing wrong in her life –ever. She worked on research paper and finished it right before the deadline –yes, her life didn’t change at all. It was all pretty much the same. It was kind of strange when the witch –her step mother and her daughter – stayed quiet all the time. But, for her horror, Haneul knew that somehow both of them were in the middle of plotting something. That was why she kept on watching them and learnt the things from Kang attorney; if by any chance, there was another solution beside set her off to marry Yoon freaking Dujun in order to help her out from the penniless case.  

Haneul had finished her first period class and sat on the chair by the window in the café at college. She frowned to see people laughed and chattered as if the world had given them silver—gold—diamond—whatever those were, and never the world gave them tears. She sighed to the mouth of the coffee cup she held before sipped it. She turned her head to take a glance toward inside of café when Haneul realized there was a crowd in the corner. There was a man—boys, wearing a red sweater and another one with white shirt. The one with red sweater looked familiar. He smiled and held the pen in his right hand. He signed to the paper brought by some of girls who lined after him. But, he just got few of them. The entire pack had been booked by the white shirt guy. He completely got all the girls from the café and she felt sorry to the red sweater guy that he just got three more girls to get his signs. But, wait—he looked damn really familiar, Haneul took a better vision, did I have mentioned it before? He was Dongwoon. Son Dongwoon. Oh yeah, Haneul forgot, he studied at the same college as her.

[FF] THE BEAST'S SKY: The Shocking Request

Haneul didn’t know what time it was. She stood on the funeral hall beside her Dad photo who smiled widely which she knew she would never have had the chance to see it again. There was no tear anymore since she stood there ages ago and bowed to the guests every time her Dad’s friends and some of her college friends came to give the last gratitude with a slight smile. There was one thing had disturbed her all day, the fact that Yoon Dujun wasn’t here yet. Although, his group mates were all already here, first, Son Dongwoon who had been a great dongsaeng for Haneul, then Yang Yoseob who was in particular close enough to her, and Yong Junhyung who liked to chatter a lot but today he was quite less noisy and looked gloomy made Haneul feel bad too. Kikwang too, who liked to smile a lot today he looked sad. The last was Jang Hyunseung who was rather quite but funny boy, and the least close to her, but today was the exception because Haneul saw for the first time the boy smiled precisely only for her while saying: “Bad things will always come to an end. Be strong.” Haneul looked up at him and smiled with her teary eyes and muttered “Thank you” with a touched heart. Before Hyunseung left her alone, he even patted her shoulder. Haneul shook her head and smiled toward him before facing the other guests who came to meet Dad non-stop.  

Dongwoon came to her when there was no any guest. Haneul didn’t even realize that the BEAST boys were all here the whole time. She was close to them because she kept seeing them in their free time. To make it easy, BEAST was the only friends Haneul kept close as friends. “Nuna…,” whispered Dongwoon to Haneul who looked to the floor blankly. There was no reaction from Haneul that made Dongwoon held both side of Haneul’s body, shook it. Haneul who reckoned someone shook her body gazed him. “Nuna… come… time to take a rest…,” Dongwoon helped Haneul to stand up, “your mother and your sister…,” he turned his head to search for those only relatives Haneul had, “not here?” he hissed, “they are too much.”

[FF] 비스트 의 하늘 / THE BEAST'S SKY: The Falling Sky

This night was the gloomiest one. The darkness came along with the wild win that swooshed the trees which stood in front of a big house. The owner of the house was not around. There left a Madam and her daughter who were pretending and acting to be the real owners while a girl in her room waiting for the real master got home. The real master was none other than her Dad. The girl sat on the bang of the window, watched the moon which seemed looking back at her, shared the pity. Her Dad had married again –months ago her Mom had passed away– with a beautiful woman who brought a daughter whom she thought as awful one. Since the first day after the marriage, she had suffered a lot because of the new Mom and her beloved daughter asked her to run errand every time they saw a chance. She couldn’t get rid of them because Dad was not at home. He was away because of some overseas business.

Dad owned a big company which worked on entertainment industry. It was a lot like an agency. He had been a CEO for a long time. Many artists who were under his company had succeeded and decided to get their own ways in the industry. On the other hand, Dad would always have new stocks of young trainees who came to get the chance to practice under his company and dreamed big to be born as the next stars. Korea of course was very well known with its Idols and the never stopping production of new dancing machine idols, new impersonating idols, new powerful main vocal idols, new great rapping idols, etc. Dad would have never gotten bankrupt. She knew very well the reason that woman seduced and luckily got married to her Dad was none other than Dad’s bank accounts. Well, materialized by capitalist society, people now. Weren’t they? The girl left a big sigh before finally realizing there was a couple of eyes watched her over the gate of the front yard.

“Who is that?” She asked in a low voice. She could see a shadow-figure-like moved fast to the one of the tree on the side of the road and raised the hands. The girl tried to get better vision because there was no lamp shone on that figure. “Dujunie?” The girl smiled by herself. Her eyes widened when reckoned who the owner of those couple of eyes was. She walked faster to the door that linked her room with the porch and ran to the stairs which could bring her to the yard in no time. Walked through the green grass her Dad loved to water it every evening and opened the gate in a flash light speed, she got to the man’s embrace in second.
