Life Of A Saturn's Agent: Banned From Lab
"Triel, you are called to the office." The secretary came into the lecture hall and called for me. I took my things and was excused to be taken out of the hall. The secretary looked a bit intimidated... maybe it was because it was a long walk from the office to this lecture hall. Besides, she was wearing diamond made heels... which is not really suitable for walking in the first place.
Once we reached the office area, the secretary pointed to the office door as she went back to her desk. Her helper was taking a call as she looked at the note the helper was writing. She looks quite strict...
I faced the door, gulping once... it seemed a lot gigantic than the last time I was here. I took my time relaxing my heartbeat that was affected by my nervousness.
I knocked the door and went in, "Sir?"
He was talking on the cell phone as he waved his hand, signalling me to come in.
Funny... he seemed happy? I admit, I didn't get to hand in my report about carbonated vegetables. I sighed even more thinking about Phie banning me from the lab...
"Triel." The officer called me as I was kicked out of my mind into the real world.
"Y..Yes?!" I said a little louder than expected.
"I received the list of trainees from the head class. It seems that you did not hand in this time's report... why?" Taylb, a.k.a "the officer" flipped through the trainee name list.
"I... I was banned from the lab." I said... feeling a tad of fear.
He shook his head as I prepared myself for a long scolding from him.
However... next thing I heard was a chuckled, not a dark and scary one, but a light and nice one.
"Triel... Triel... Triel..." He laughed as I got more confused. What is so funny about being banned from the lab?
"Sir... I can't seem to register what am I doing here..." I said while staring as he laughed more.
"You, trainee, Triel... has been offered a fast track. You are going to be an agent on probation." Taylb said with the authority tone.
"Huh?" I wasn't sure if I heard properly, an agent?? Chaehyun did complain that I tend to hear stuff people don't say.
"You are a probational agent now. We are now having a new program, selecting some trainees to go on field as probational agents. You will be in our first batch. You could say that you're being promoted in a way." Taylb smiled as I gave him a blank look.
"Are you sure?" I asked to be absolutely sure that I have no hearing problems.
"Yes. I'll be assigning your first mission. Meet me a few hours later when I call you. Be sure to not be late." Taylb said and later shoved me out of the office as I was too stunned to move at all.

Life Of A Saturn's Agent: An Appointment
"We'll try next time, alright?" Chaehyun comforted Triel as they left the lab area.
"Okay..." Triel sighed, not because she can't use the lab, but because the assignment can't be completed. The deadline is just a few days away too. She had been waiting for a day where she can step into the lab again, of course, with Chaehyun's help.
Chaehyun suddenly stopped walking.
"Chaehyun?" Triel looked at her weirdly.
"Chaehyun?" Triel shook her which made her come back from whatever trance she had.
"I'm okay. I just remembered I have an appointment. Why don't you go ahead first?" Chaehyun ruffled Triel's hair and left quickly.
"Okay. Bye Chaehyun!" Triel waved excitedly.
"Now, what should I do?" Triel sat in the middle of the corridor and started brainstorming.
@@
"I'm sorry sir." Chaehyun apologized as she was invited to enter the office. Taylb motioned her to sit down and got her a cup of coffee.
"How was your last mission?" Taylb asked after he sipped his cup of coffee.
"It was good. The operation went smoothly." Chaehyun smiled.
However, Taylb wasn't in the same mood. he was pacing around the office. Chaehyun realized that he had this worry in his eyes.
"Umm sir, if you don't mind, is something wrong?" Chaehyun daringly asked. That made Taylb stopped in his tracks.
A smile formed on his face.
"Looks like being a field agent made you improve. Good job, good job indeed." Taylb praised Chaehyun, giving her a pat on the back.
"Anyway, there's another assignment. I need you to go to this diamond planet. There seems to be some problem with their water treatment plant. Go check it out and give me an update." Taylb explained a new case and handed a file to Chaehyun.
"Yes, sir." Chaehyun nodded while flipping the file, going through the basic info.
"Another thing. Just a heads up, this planet is quite dangerous. Do not get cut by the diamond ground. Diamond cuts can be fatal." Taylb said in a serious tone.
Chaehyun nodded.
"If there's nothing else, you may be dismissed. Good luck, agent."
Chaehyun nodded and left the office.
"Another mission..."
"Okay..." Triel sighed, not because she can't use the lab, but because the assignment can't be completed. The deadline is just a few days away too. She had been waiting for a day where she can step into the lab again, of course, with Chaehyun's help.

Life Of A Saturn's Agent: Help? (2)
As the newly promoted lab director, Phie had lots to do. So many paperwork, so many meetings, so many things... the labs need to be kept at their best, substances all in stock, kept in proper containers, checked and labelled. It was a hectic life he now has, yet he was happy. No more lessons, no more assignment reports, in fact, he's been less cheeky these days. The best thing? Djie, a.k.a the discipline officer is not looking for him anymore. Somehow, the lab director position gave him this feeling that he has to be a responsible person as well as a mature one.
"Why didn't I think of that in the first place..." Djie sighed from outside the lab. Phie was now double checking the lists of new chemicals that were brought into the labs. He was so absorbed in his work that he didn't notice Djie standing just a few feet away.
Djie's phone vibrated. It was a reminder for him to go and have a surprise check at the trainees' dorms. He left the lab area with a small smile, contented that this 4-year trainee had found his place here.
It was a few minutes before lunch break will be over. Phie stretched himself after finally checking the last box of chemicals and storing them. He sat there, feeling very happy of his efficiency today. He had scanned through products from 2 different companies, the fastest record he's had within his time as a lab director.
As he was sitting in his big chair and relaxing himself, he heard people talking. The voices getting nearer and nearer. He ignored it since the lab wasn't scheduled to be in use today. But as the voices became louder, his heart beat became faster.
"Something's not right..." He sighed as he dragged his body to the doorway.
"... and you know, it really took me a lot of effort..." A girl's voice echoed.
"No..." He mentally said. His worst nightmare. He scurried back to his table and tidied the place up as fast as he can.
He took his belongings and got out of the lab. He took out his keys and with fumbling fingers, try to lock it.
"Hello Phie!" The girl greeted him, making him drop his keys.
"Hi... Triel." He smiled, trying to suppress his nervous expression.
"Sorry if I scared you." Triel said and picked up the keys for him.
"No, no. I'm alright. Who's your friend?" Phie asked of the level one agent beside Triel as he took the keys from her.
"She's Chaehyun. Phie, can we use the lab today? I have an assignment I must do." Triel said with the most pleading expression she could make.
"I'm sorry. I have to uhh... I have something urgent. Sorry." Phie said as he pushed the key into the lock.
"Please? I promise I won't do anything funny. I promise I'll be careful. Everything will be in the same order as you put them." Triel tried persuading him.
"I really can't. Maybe next time. I have to go now. Bye." Phie practically dashed off after he made sure he locked the door.
He never wanted the trainee to be near his lab within a ten feet radar. The last time she was in a lesson, she made this exploding purple candy that made the whole lab messy. The test tubes and containers, beakers... anything glass-made in that lab were destroyed. It took him a full three days to confirm the lab wasn't radioactive and another 5 days to clean up everything. That incident really made him phobic towards Triel.

Life Of A Saturn's Agent: Help?
"Triel, where's the report..." Taylb was quite annoyed at this child in front of him.
"Umm... I seemed to have misplaced it..." Triel was searching her desk frantically while Taylb was going to blow up by the second. It was a simple task. Read and write. How hard could it be? This kid can't last...
"Triel, if you can't finish the report, just tell the truth." Taylb sighed.
"I finished it. In fact, here it is!" Triel said happily. In her hand was a folio finished with a colorful front page.
"I... Good job..." Taylb took the folio and left. Wondering what is in this kid's mind. Not worried... So happy at all times... or do they from Pluto are always this happy?
"Now... What do I do?" Triel asked herself while sitting at her desk. She looked around to see that she was the only one in the office after Taylb left. Everyone was on lunch break. She took out her phone and pressed the speed dial.
"Hello? Chaehyun, are you busy?" Triel asked once she heard the voice from the other end.
"I'm having my lunch now. Why?" Chaehyun munched on the jellybean rice she was having.
"Can you help me on this project? It's about the food chemistry lab..." Triel trailed off. She was weak in lab works. She has this curiosity heart that makes her want to mix up all the colorful stuff in the lab... which almost always end up in some kind of explosion. Phie had banned her from entering the lab since he was promoted.
"Okay, I'll help. On one condition." Chaehyun said sternly.
"Thank you!!! What condition?" Triel was already jumping in the quiet office.
"You have to make me that colorful ice cream you made last time. This time I want a whole box of it." Chaehyun smiled.
She couldn't forget that sweet, creamy, icy, rainbow flavored ice cream. Triel had made it accidentally on one of the lab lessons last time. It wasn't hazardous since Chaehyun knew the ingredients were all harmless. There were about 60 different substances used. She never got to learn to make the ice cream since Triel was the only one who knows the amount of each ingredient needed. Triel never bothered noting down, saying she would lose the list anyways... which is true.
"Okay! Come quickly!" Triel said excitedly. She hadn't gone into the food chemistry lad for a few months. Thinking of how excited she would be to see all of those substances in vials and glasses made her smile.
"Let me finish my lunch first. See you later at the lab then." Chaehyun ended the call.
"Umm... I seemed to have misplaced it..." Triel was searching her desk frantically while Taylb was going to blow up by the second. It was a simple task. Read and write. How hard could it be? This kid can't last...

A Story Not Told
A story created by mushroom and me that was drafted over a year ago.
"Snow White, the princess who survived from the evil Queen’s plot. The prince married her… and they lived happily ever after…"
"Snow White, the princess who survived from the evil Queen’s plot. The prince married her… and they lived happily ever after…"
A Story Not Told 1: The Truth
It was dinner, just as usual, only the two
of them together at the table. However, this time, Prince Edward was restless.
Something was bothering him. Princess Snow tried to talk to him but he kept
quiet, not even looking at her at all. He was in his own world and Princess
Snow was worried about him.
“Prince Edward, is something bothering
you?” She tried again after dinner. The two of them were at the balcony, gazing
at the twinkling stars above.
Prince Edward sighed to himself. He felt so
tired. So tired, because of a secret he had hid from Princess Snow. The feeling
of guilty in him was eating him up slowly, painfully. What sort of a man was
he? How lucky was he, to have such a beautiful, kind, gentle princess to be
beside him… and he lies to her?
“Edward… please, Edward, talk to me.”
Princess Snow looked at him with more worry.
“Snow… Princess Snow, I’m sorry…” Prince
Edward whispered. He knew, he had to tell her…
“Whatever would you want to apologize for,
my prince?” Princess Snow was surprised at how Prince Edward is acting. What
has happened to him?
“Princess Snow. I… I have lied to you. I’m
sorry…” Prince Edward was now on his knees, tears were now blurring his eyes.
“What on Earth…?” Princess Snow couldn’t
utter a thing. What Prince Edward had just told her… what was going on?
“I must tell you the truth.” He was still
on his knees, not knowing what to do.
“Please, Prince Edward…” Princess Snow
helped him up and led him inside. She made him sit and she poured him a cup of
tea.
“I’m not Prince Edward.” Prince Edward
said, startling Princess Snow.
“I… I am a slave of the Queen, your
stepmother…” The man before Princess Snow said slowly.
“Please, Prince Edward. Do not play such
tricks…” Princess Snow said seriously.
“I’m not playing a trick. Please listen to
me. I was forced to be a slave… a slave of the Queen. She and Willow
He felt his bones twisting inside him. His
blood rushing as his heart beat wildly. Excruciating pain… was all he felt in
his skull. He couldn’t do anything about it. The slave knew the Queen too well.
He knew… he was cursed. Once he reveals that he wasn’t the real prince… he knew
his life will be ended.
“Princess Snow, I am sorry. What I have
done is unforgivable. I am sorry…” He apologized as he took his last breath.
Princess Snow sat beside the now lifeless
body. Tears fell as she held him in her arms. He had died a painful death. No
matter how badly he had lied to her… he was forced to lie... he was still a
human being… he did not deserve to die such a death…

20121208 A First Try
a very interesting day~?
I went to have a treatment on a scar I have since primary 3. The doctor gave me a few shots of this yellowish cream-like thing into the scar. It was kinda stinging... but it wasn't that scary~ just that even after 7 hours it has this small pain once in awhile. It's not really painful but it's kinda of a nuisance? Imagine someone poking you with a needle, in a playful way without any bleeding. It feels like that now~ Wonder when will this feeling stop~ The doctor said I'll have to do this injection... once every week or two weeks to let the scar fade... Wondering how many shots do I have to go~ aigoo~ aigoo~
Hwaiting!!!

what she said?
or is it just my mind
playing tricks again
do I really feel like this?
how would you know?
I really wouldn't know how to ask...
would you even ask?
how do you even ask?
it's such a meddlesome feeling
I've been dwelling
a lot about it~

20121128 Bad Venting
depressing. prepare yourself or skip~ ; P
really want to vent... everything in my head.... it's tiring to think about these things... just tiring... that it makes you feel crazy *imagine House MD putting himself in a mental hospital* really feel like doing that now. Yeah, it's comical in a depressed way, or is it the other way? I tried, I really tried to make myself happy... but how long can it last? I'm just tired. Yeah, seeing so many 'I' in here... I feel so selfish. I know that. All the things that you "could have done a long time ago" It's horrifying to face the darn truth. I know, I've not done my best. I know, I don't want to face the truth. What should I do? It's stupid. Yes, you've used the word you don't want to use. You're that lost and dark at the moment that you feel like you want to knock yourself in the head... until you bleed... Why are you using 'you' now? What does that mean? You are still not admitting to the true reality that hits you? I don't know... not anymore... fear, anger, depressed... these are the things you keep inside. Because you tell yourself that people don't need to know. They can't do anything about it. Why bother telling? Why make them worry? Why share the dark feeling? Might as well leave it there because it'll disappear somehow. Is that how you really feel? Really? Cause now you're writing what you always call dark. Just the feeling, the thought of yourself facing people actually make you terrified. What is going on with you? Is talking to strangers hard? Is telling people what you feel hard? It's terrifying. You say in your head. Yet you tell people, yeah, it's no problem. We just have to get used to it. Thinking about how you could be like that... now you feel like a mad person. How is it possible that you can be so thick skinned at times and so fragile at other times? It doesn't make any sense. It doesn't... What the hell is rational anymore....

Life Of A Saturn's Agent: Kidnapper!
He walked towards the door, heart thumping faster. He wondered why was he nervous. After all, he's been into that room for so many times for all the wrong reasons. Why would this time be any different? It's the same rite? Get into a fight, get caught, get scolded and get detention. What's there to be afraid of him? Wait... what was the discipline officer's name again?
He went in, steps getting heavier and heavier.
"Phie, I've been waiting for you." The discipline officer said calmly with a small smile. Phie couldn't figure out what was that expression about.
He bowed cautiously and later sat down in the chair in front of the officer's desk.
"So, Phie, want some purple tea?" The officer asked and poured a cup for Phie before he could refuse it.
"Thank you." He said in a low tone. He still can't understand why he's being called into the office since he wasn't in a fight and the officer is acting... pretty kind today. Or... is he getting kicked out? Or is this officer a fake? Who wants to kidnap him? He's gotta escape!
"Tell me, Phie" The officer was right in front of him, not behind the table. Directly in front of him.
"How long have you been here?"
"Umm... about 4 years?" He stuttered. Was he going to be kidnapped?! He have to dash towards the exit. But the officer is just a few inches away, how do you get away from that??
"Hmm... how many assignment and report have you completed?" The officer asked again.
"Uh... " he pretended to count with his fingers while looking for another way out. His eyes were scanning the area, looking for a way of escape.
"Phie?" The officer called his name as he was taking too long to answer such a simple question.
"Uh.. um..." He looked at the officer. The officer had questioning eyes looking at him. What is going on with this trainee?
Without a word mentioned, Phie punched the officer in the face and ran towards the exit. As he got out of the room, he shouted for help and 2 other officers with worried looks came down the corridor.
"Sir! There's a kidnapper in there! Help! Help!" Phie shouted while holding onto the door knob to stop the kidnapper from getting out.
"Boy, this better not be another trick!" The officer in green said sternly. She knew this trainee was one of the trickiest kid in this place.
"No! Ma'am Jloi! I swear! There's a kidnapper!" Phie shouted desperately.
The two officers pulled Phie to the back as they opened the door, anticipating an attack of some sort.
But out came the same officer with a very bloody face because of Phie's punch.
"Phie! What the purple tea are you doing!?" The discipline officer was raging as Phie imagined smoke coming out of his ears.
"Djie, are you okay? The kidnapper hit you?" Jloi asked while the other officer went in the office to check.
"What kidnapper? I was just going to tell this kid over here, Phie! That he's been upgraded to a lab director and he gave me this punch." Djie shouted while wiping away the blood.
"False alarm" Jloi said to the other officer and grabbed Phie by the collar to stop him from escaping. Phie couldn't do anything but to give a dry, embarrassing laugh at the bloody-faced Djie.
He went in, steps getting heavier and heavier.
"Phie, I've been waiting for you." The discipline officer said calmly with a small smile. Phie couldn't figure out what was that expression about.

Life Of A Saturn's Agent: Miss You
I just got out of a meeting with the agents and officers. It was... well... kinda nice since there was a fight between two of the officers. It was quite funny, really. Two of them fisting and pulling hairs and scolding each other. The other people couldn't do anything since the two were the seniors in the agency. In the end, they fought until they were too tired and the meeting ended just like that. O yes, I nearly forgot. We have to do some research on how carbonated drinks can be made into vegetables. That should be a nice one. I'm going to drag Chaehyun to help me with this.
"Meow Woof Chirp Meow Woof Chirp..." My phone rang and I answered it.
"Mum?" I asked after hearing a lady's voice through the phone.
"Yes my darling. How are you?" Her voice happy and sweet.
"I'm okay. How's Venus?" She went there 2 years ago, saying it was a vacation. But... isn't 2 years a little long for a vacation?
"It's lovely! Lovely indeed. I'm being treated like a queen. The people here are just lovely! And you know, I found these beautiful shoes they made from colored air. So soft and light. It's really comfy for my feet too. And I got you a pair too. With purple and pink and blue color. They change color and sparkle..."
Mother talked a lot. I guess she's really happy having fun there.
"... and Triel, you know, they have cloud made sofas and beds... and the glass made frying pan... ~eow~ Triel, your peacock flower misses you so much! Where are you?" Mother suddenly changed her tone.
"Please help me take care of her awhile? I've been busy lately..." I really do miss her... but I can't take care of her now. See, I came to this agency without telling mother. She thought that I'm still in Pluto, maybe doing some spring cleaning or some kind of experiment.
"O~ Okay. But she's a bit playful. It's hard if she's let out of my sight even for just awhile. She gets lost very easily here. Rite? ~chirp~" My mother said worriedly while my lovely flower answered... and it made me feel so guilty...
"Thanks mum. Just for another 2 weeks? Please?" I asked her to take care of my precious flower, just 2 more weeks and my beautiful flower will come back to me.
"Okay darling. I have to go. I've got another call. Bye bye darling." She ended the call as I chuckled to myself at how mother is so adorable.
"Triel." Someone called my name and I turned around.
"CHAEHYUN!!!!" I screamed while she gave me big, terrified eyes.
"You... scared me." She laughed after I apologized.
"Really sorry. It's just that I missed you so much!"
"Free now? Lunch?" She asked and I nodded continuously.
"You're going to pull a muscle like that." We both laughed as we headed out of the office building and went to a restaurant that sells exotic food from Mercury.
"Meow Woof Chirp Meow Woof Chirp..." My phone rang and I answered it.
"Mum?" I asked after hearing a lady's voice through the phone.
"Yes my darling. How are you?" Her voice happy and sweet.
"I'm okay. How's Venus?" She went there 2 years ago, saying it was a vacation. But... isn't 2 years a little long for a vacation?

Life Of A Saturn's Agent: Come Out~
She was wearing a tank top and shorts while her hair was in a mess. Her eyes were scanning through the room. There were papers scattered all around the room.
"This... is a mess... Triel, you fail at tidying." She nagged at herself while her hands were busy taking the papers and arranging them into a pile.
"Triel?" Someone called from outside and Triel quickly put on a loose t-shirt and tied her hair before opening the door.
"Hi, Taylb." She smiled until her eyes couldn't be seen.
"What are you doing?" He asked, bewildered at her very, very happy expression.
"Nothing. Just cleaning up the room. Anything going on?" Triel smiled her best.
"There's a meeting later... You forgot huh?" Taylb saw the shock in Triel's face.
"Anyway, just remember the time and be there." Taylb sighed.
"Okay!" Triel said and showed the okay sign.
"Wait, how's the progress of the report?" Taylb asked and stared at Triel.
"It's coming through... Don't worry." Triel said casually.
"Make sure it's on my table in 2 hours." Taylb said and left her standing at her door.
Triel closed the door calmly and continued her search through the pile of papers like a crazy kitty.
"Shoot! Where is that report! Come out! Wait..." She suddenly stopped and just stood there.
Triel slapped herself thrice.
1. Don't use shoot!
2.Tidy the room!
3. Don't use shoot.
"Come out~" Triel called out the report like it was a kitten. She couldn't remember where did she put the report she took hours to make.
She chuckled to herself. She's going to go mad huh? Really? Over a few papers?
"HAHAHAHAHAHA......" She laughed loudly while lying down on the floor.
After laughing until she's tired, she finally stopped and continued looking through the files on the shelf.
Alas... the report wasn't there. She sat on the floor, thinking really really hard while looking at her room.
"Bed." She said to herself and scurried to the bed. She flipped it and there it was. The report under her bed. She had used it to support her back since the bed is too soft for her. You see, in Pluto, she had no bed and slept on the ground under the stars.
"This... is a mess... Triel, you fail at tidying." She nagged at herself while her hands were busy taking the papers and arranging them into a pile.
"Triel?" Someone called from outside and Triel quickly put on a loose t-shirt and tied her hair before opening the door.

20121118 Letter to self
As I sit here with the laptop in front of me, as well as the pengajian am notes. My mind is bombarded with very... interesting thoughts. Happy thoughts. It's as if... this exam that I'll be facing is just a tiny obstacle... like it's just another obstacle that I can face. Somehow this confidence just appeared today... maybe it's just me being gullible me, or like someone told me... maybe I've found something more valuable in life. I'll try to give my best for this exam, regardless of the results. Maybe I'm just that naive that I am able to trap myself in an unrealistic way. Or that I'm a hidden carefree person, a freeman. I don't know. I may not even ever going to find a right answer to that question: "who are you?" I may be getting very far away from my original route, but maybe it's for the best? Maybe me being selfish is an actual way to building my confidence? I've always know, I lack self esteem. Being down when I feel that I've fail, being proud when I've achieved something even so tiny. I let my emotions towards a certain event control my level of confidence. Because of ties to these events, so-called responsibilities towards people in my life, I constantly lose myself. Being emotionally tied instead of being rational towards my heart. Doing the right thing may not always be right. Decisions in life isn't always about the rational way, or the emotional way. It's always a balance of both. Yes, at times, you should be deciding rationally. But there are times where you should be following your emotions, your sixth sense. Because, when we think back, we may feel that we are right, or sometimes feel guilty for making the "wrong choices". But what's been done has been done. Just believe in yourself. Everything will be alright in the end. Everything will be alright.

Life Of A Saturn's Agent: My Story
"What's your story?" The monitor in front of me asked.
Umm... not very sociable. I used to live in Pluto alone. Then... I... love reading, but nothing specific, just any book that interests me... I'm good at doing doodles. I love math too. I'm not very good at sports, lacking in agility. Clumsy at times. I have a wide range of ideas when it comes to logical nonsense. Okay, I try my best in doing it. I have a twin sister who's from mars but she's now a researcher on Earth. I've done different jobs on Saturn. Starting from delivering magazines, then onto selling fabrics and after that, working in a canteen. I don't have a specific stable job at the moment. I know that I'm still inexperienced and needed a lot more. So, I decided to join this secret agency. They took me in as a trainee and I met other trainees. We became very close. Although it's only a short while, we bonded very nicely. But we all have to go our separate ways someday right? So... they were promoted as agents and sent to different galaxies. I'm still here training, hoping that someday, I can go out on a mission as a highly skilled agent.
"Triel! What are you doing?" A high level agent approached me as I quickly exited the program.
"Hi Taylb...Nothing." I gave a smile.
"You were playing around with the talk-to-me program again, weren't you?" The agent stared into my eyes. My eyeballs were going to be fried into ashes!
"Can I say yes and no?" I asked while still keeping a smile.
"Whatever. Just remember you have responsibilities and don't wreck the system. By the way, have you read the journal? code MTW212?" The agent asked and took a sip of tea.
"I'm going to read it now, busy, busy. Bye~" I said and rushed off.
"You haven't read it?! It's a 3000 page journal and I want a report on the table the day after tomorrow!" I heard him screaming his head off.
Day after tomorrow? Doom's day. Check to self.

Life Of A Saturn's Agent: An Unexpected Call
The lights were flickering. She sighed, thinking it must be the power going weak. Tired out, she dragged herself from the office desk to the main switch box.
Her phone rang while she was checking the box of tangled wires and cables.
"Hello?" She answered weakly.
"Marshmallow." A familiar voice said the codeword.
"Marshmallow. How are you?" She answered back, smiling a little. It's been a long time since she heard the voice.
"You sound tired, Triel. Are you okay?" The voice on the other side did not answer her question but asked about her worriedly.
"Yes, tired. Night shift." She chuckled while closing the box since the power was stable again.
"Why stress yourself? Aish... anyway, I'm coming back, Triel. Just for a short period. I'm going back!" Triel's eyes widened at the news.
"Really? Chaehyun! Finally!" She exclaimed. Too happy to even bother about her tiredness.
"Yes! We are going out once I reach headquarters. Okay?"
"Okay." A smile formed.
"I have to go now, doing the stats report." Chaehyun said and they bid goodbye before ending the phone call.
Triel couldn't hide the smile on her face. How long has it been since Chaehyun left? A few months?

Cut Scene: First Meeting
"You're Nick, yes?" A lady approached him. She looks like she's about late 20's... hair tied in a bun and a simple yellow t-shirt with black short pants. Quite a casual look for a voice that commands.
He nodded and gave a slight bow.
"We talked on the phone. I'm Cassie. Nice to meet you." She said and shook hands with him.
"Nice to meet you too."
After that, they went to Cassie's office.
"So, since today's your first day, I'll go easy on you. I'll be giving you a tour. Umm... do you have the forms?"
He handed her the forms which were then checked. After going through the papers, Cassie asked him for his portfolio. She flipped through it and Nick gave brief explanations about his works.
"You've been working for how many years?" She asked out of a sudden.
"I've been working part time jobs for 3 years. But this is a first time." He said honestly.
"You don't need to worry a thing. It'll be fun! Just relax." Cassie told him with a warm smile.
"Okay." He grinned.
"So here's a map, just in case. Since it is a big place." Cassie gave him a very colorful piece of paper.
"Basically, we have 3 floors. First floor is the offices, library and exam hall. Then, the second and third floors are the classes. Come, I'll show you." Cassie led him to the library which was the closest.
It was built under the school but the library is opened to the public. It was huge, air-coned, interestingly built shelves with a variety of books, a few computers around... The tables and chairs were designed oddly. Imagine Alice in Wonderland, the library style? There was a corner where about 20 children and a teenager were giggling.
"Hello everyone~ We have a new friend~" Cassie said and signaled Nick to talk a bit.
"Good morning everyone, I'm Nick. Hope we can learn together." He said formally.
After that, he talked to the children a bit. The teenager, Stella was telling them a new story she created. The class later continued as Cassie and Nick left.
"I hope you don't mind me asking, but how old is Stella?" Nick got curious since a young girl is put in charge of 20 children.
"We have a very unique system here, which I'll show you later. By the way, she's 15 years old. Stella's been teaching here for about 2 years now. She's one of the most talented authors I've seen too. You were quite good with the children, not bad for a first time." Cassie said.
"Thanks?" He said, still unsure.
"Relax, alright? You've got the job already, now just have fun." Cassie laughed a bit at how he's being nervous.
"The exam hall is not always an exam hall... We have some performances once in awhile, some exhibitions too." She showed him the hall which was empty at that time.
He nodded and gave a slight bow.
"We talked on the phone. I'm Cassie. Nice to meet you." She said and shook hands with him.
"Nice to meet you too."
After that, they went to Cassie's office.
"So, since today's your first day, I'll go easy on you. I'll be giving you a tour. Umm... do you have the forms?"
He handed her the forms which were then checked. After going through the papers, Cassie asked him for his portfolio. She flipped through it and Nick gave brief explanations about his works.
"You've been working for how many years?" She asked out of a sudden.
"I've been working part time jobs for 3 years. But this is a first time." He said honestly.
"You don't need to worry a thing. It'll be fun! Just relax." Cassie told him with a warm smile.
"Okay." He grinned.
"So here's a map, just in case. Since it is a big place." Cassie gave him a very colorful piece of paper.
"Basically, we have 3 floors. First floor is the offices, library and exam hall. Then, the second and third floors are the classes. Come, I'll show you." Cassie led him to the library which was the closest.
It was built under the school but the library is opened to the public. It was huge, air-coned, interestingly built shelves with a variety of books, a few computers around... The tables and chairs were designed oddly. Imagine Alice in Wonderland, the library style? There was a corner where about 20 children and a teenager were giggling.
"Hello everyone~ We have a new friend~" Cassie said and signaled Nick to talk a bit.
"Good morning everyone, I'm Nick. Hope we can learn together." He said formally.
After that, he talked to the children a bit. The teenager, Stella was telling them a new story she created. The class later continued as Cassie and Nick left.
"I hope you don't mind me asking, but how old is Stella?" Nick got curious since a young girl is put in charge of 20 children.
"We have a very unique system here, which I'll show you later. By the way, she's 15 years old. Stella's been teaching here for about 2 years now. She's one of the most talented authors I've seen too. You were quite good with the children, not bad for a first time." Cassie said.
"Thanks?" He said, still unsure.
"Relax, alright? You've got the job already, now just have fun." Cassie laughed a bit at how he's being nervous.
"The exam hall is not always an exam hall... We have some performances once in awhile, some exhibitions too." She showed him the hall which was empty at that time.

Hyesun ~ah
Where are you now? Heard you've gotten into that maze garden I made for you. Don't tell me you've gotten lost again? I haven't put the markers in the maze, mianhae. Hope you didn't get trapped in there for too long. Next time I go back, remember to tell me to make the markers for you, ne? We don't want to make you get lost for days, right? You don't want me to worry you, right? Remember last time I cried for days because you scared me? Don't make me cry until my eyes are sore, ne?
Heard from appa and omma that you're travelling a lot lately huh? Even thou you're suppose to take care of the garden while I'm gone. Don't make your twin sister angry ne? The garden needs love and care. You're the one that I can count on to take good care of the garden. Kamsahaminda~
Heard you're liking the new plant I found from Rum Island. Your friend told me about how you like it so much and cared for it. It's a lovely plant. Cherish it since it's hard to find it. You know the story~ I told you last time~
How's the weather there? It's near Christmas already! Is it raining candies? Or raining chocolates? Help me keep some of it please~
Remember we have this plan about building an out of this world school? Well, I met someone who's willing to sponsor for this project! Isn't this cool? Imagine students learning in outer space, floating with their things. And the astronaut food... I'm starting to do some research on making these new food for the children's choice. So far, I've made chocolate noodles. I don't know why, but the kids are loving it. I'll make one for you during Christmas to try. And did I mentioned? I'm coming home soon. Wait for me!!! I'd better see my garden all safe and sound~
I have to go now. The lab already has some newly baked jelly fries. I'm going to try them!
Love~

Cut Scene: Nick and Jena
"Headache..." She told me, her eyes were still shut tightly. I pulled the curtains to stop the sunlight from blinding her eyes.
I had laid a small tray of breakfast at the dressing table in front of the bed. She still had her eyes closed even after sitting up. Her hair was a mess and she was still in her party dress. She was a mess. I warned her about getting herself sick yesterday night. But did she listen? No...
"Come on, drink." I passed her a glass of warm water.
"Thank you." She said smiling a bit but her eyes were still not opened.
"Come here, you have to get up now." I dragged her and carried her off the bed, making her stand up.
"Can I stay in bed today?" She pleaded and I gave her a cold no.
"You have class and a job. Now go get yourself cleaned up. You look horrible." I said while handing her a towel and shoving her into the toilet.
The phone downstairs rang and I rushed downstairs to answer it.
"Hello?" I was panting a bit and tried my best to control it.
"Hello. I'm Cassie, a representative from Jellies Art School. I'm looking for... Nick?" The caller on the other side had a smooth but commanding voice.
"I... I am. Yeah, I'm Nick." He stuttered a bit, wondering if his mind is still sane. He had went to this interview a few months ago and didn't receive any reply, nothing. At least, until now.
"We are happy to inform you that you have been accepted by the school. Sir, when can you start? Is next Friday okay?" Cassie told him the big news.
"Umm... Yeah. I'll start next Friday." He checked the calendar and agreed to it.
"Okay. The schedules and forms will be e-mailed to you. Please make sure to fill in the forms and bring the necessary documents. Is there any questions?" Cassie asked after giving the basic information.
"Nothing. Thank you Cassie." Nick said.
"That is all for now. Have a nice day sir." The phone call ended after that.
"Who was it?" I heard her voice and saw her all cleaned up and tidy. Finally, her eyes were open.
"I got accepted by the Jellies Art School." I smiled at her as her eyes widen.
"Really? Congratulations!" She said and gave me a hug.
"But that doesn't mean that I'll stop reprimanding you for yesterday night." I said sternly.
"I'm sorry... " She trailed off and started biting her lips.
"How is your headache?" I asked her.
"Not so much already." She said quietly.
"Go get an aspirin if you need it, okay?" I patted her head.
"Okay..." Guilt was written all over her face.
"I'm going out to get some groceries. You need anything?" I asked while taking my car keys.
"Emm... No."
"Bye." I got out of the house and went inside the car.
"Hmm... Jena... how am I going to be angry at you when your face makes me feel guilty?" I asked myself.

20121109 Last Day
never thought that... I'd be this clingy onto these 1 and a half year's of life...
can't say much, just that I'm clingy onto this life... this school life that I'll miss a lot.
The people... that I've come to know, befriended, and became close as family...
this crazy-short-termed, cramped-up-with-so-much-activities life...
can't write a long essay saying how much *something,something,something*
cause...
it's just...
it's just not possible for me to describe this feeling..
just indescribable...

Horror Not: Dark
"Help me!!!" She screamed for the hundredth time.
Silence.
She sighed, which turned into sobs of desperation.
"Why are you doing this to me..." She said to no one in particular.
She didn't know who would've wanted to do this to her. Her limbs were all chained up to the wall. She was in a dungeon. Only a small window twelve feet above had light coming in from it during the day. Other times, darkness surrounded her. Once i awhile... a few hungry mice or rats pass by, scaring the life out of her.
"Why me...?" She asked, looking above to see the web-covered walls and ceiling.
"Let me out..." She said weakly. She wanted to cry... but there were no tears anymore. She hadn't seen anyone for the past 5 days. Not eaten nor drink for the past few days... what is going on? She had no strength to ask anymore.
All she wanted was to get out of this place...
Silence.

An Old Story: The Meeting
"The Joker?"
"Yes." The senior advisor, Lee Sooman said calmly.
"What's the story?"
"Fun, entertainers, versatile, many talents in different areas... they are unpredictable... a traditional Joker card in a deck? They will be the one to beat all others with hidden talents." An assistant explained.
"That's a good one..."
"So, here are the profiles of the trainees. There are a total of 20 of them. Age ranging from 15 to 19." Files were passed to the staffs.
"This, here is our new project." Sooman announced and the discussion began.
"They will be a slightly different rotational group. All of them will be in the main group, The Joker. They will be divided into small groups for different songs. Something like Super Junior except that the members will be shuffled up and there will not be actual, permanent sub-units."
"There will be a main promotion song where all of the members will be performing. Then there are secondary promotion songs. Taking EXO members as examples. Baekhyun, Chen and D.O are vocalists. They will be taking up a ballad song. But they can also join in on a dance song with Lay too. Then for a comeback, Lay can perform a solo ballad. Or Kai and Tao doing a duet."
"Meaning that their promotions can be done with different members, either as solos or duets, or group performance. The whole group is always changing styles and giving a fresh and diverse image for every performance."
"Like a deck of cards. You shuffle them and randomly take a few cards out."
"It's a big risk. Not to be offensive, but it could be hard for people to try to get to know them. Since the faces are always changing for every performance..."
"It is... but I believe we can do this well." Lee Sooman said with a sparkle in his eyes.
"Okay. So... about when are we debuting them?" Yongjin asked.
"Maybe in 6 months?"
"6 months? Isn't that too fast for this scale of a group?" Rino was astonished by the senior adviser's words. It took at least 3 months of training for EXO. This Joker group has so many members. Will they be able to cope?
"It should be okay. I've seen this group and they are good at adapting. They'll be fine." Sooman assured her.
"Is there any specific style or genre they're focused on?" Kenzie asked.
"We'll stick to SMP for now. After that, we can explore a bit more." The assistant answered this time.
As questions were answered, the meeting was ended. The team of experts were given tasks: to plan how the debut album of The Joker was going to be.
"Yes." The senior advisor, Lee Sooman said calmly.
"What's the story?"
"Fun, entertainers, versatile, many talents in different areas... they are unpredictable... a traditional Joker card in a deck? They will be the one to beat all others with hidden talents." An assistant explained.

An Old Story: A New Project
There was a knock and the door opened to reveal Yongjin.
"Dongjoo, what are you up to now?" Yongjin asked as he sat down in front of his desk.
"Nothing much. Sorting things out. I'm looking for some ideas from these drafts." Dongjoo was flipping through 3 stacks of files.
"Anything I can help? I just finished my tasks yesterday. Got nothing for now." Yongjin said while taking a file and started reading through it.
"Yea... There is... I have a few songs here. Can you help me go through the demos?"
"Sure. Whose are these?"
"Mine. I'm going to use one or two of them for the movie."
"You? A famous superstar actor... and now producer... writing songs?"
"Yeah. I try. Are they that bad?"
"No. Just quite surprised that you've written 8 complete songs."
"I got in some people to help me of course. Anyway, how are they?"
"They're quite good... You mind if I steal this from you?"
"Huh? What is that? Why?"
"This one 'The Kings and Queens'. The song has a dramatic feel. The lyrics are powerful. An addicting chorus. The company's going to debut a new group. I think this song should be perfect for them."
"Wait a second here. You are thinking of using my song for a rookie group? I'm not a professional or even a proper lyricist. Are you willing to take the risks for this new group?"
"Let me tell you. This song is deep. Just with a little adjusting and refining for the group to synchronize with this song and it'll be a hit. Please? I'll get you the copyrights"
"Okay. Take it."
"Thanks. And these songs here are all good to go. Dongoo, have you ever thought of making an album?"
"Nah. I'm not good at singing at all."
"But you did sang for an OST rite? What was that... that drama... 'The Queen's Revenge'."
"That was 8 years ago. I was a kid."
"It was a good song."
"I'll pass. Besides, I already have new ideas in here." Dongjoo said while pointing to his head.
"I get it." Yongjin gave up in trying to persuade him to get into the singing career.
Yongjin's phone rang and he received a message for a spontaneous meeting.
"Well. I have to go. Looks like we'll have a new major project.
"Why would you say that?"
"Cause this is an unscheduled meeting. Bye. And thanks for the song." Yongjin then left Dongjoo's office.
@@
"Everyone get ready. One more round in 2 minutes." The dance coach said and the 20 students positioned themselves. The music started and they danced another intense routine.
The dance coach observed each and everyone of them. Making sure there are only motivated and hardworking trainees. Her choreographs were very upbeat and intense to train one's endurance. There are also softer or more elegant dances sometimes so that the students can learn to follow the beat and move "like water" or have fluid movements.
She noticed one of her coworkers at the door and approached him.
"Anything sir?"
"Hello Rino. Just passing by. I want to take a peek at the new group too." Yongjin replied while his eyes were fixed on the trainees.
"They're doing good. They have their own style. They kept the original SMP but with an added personality too. They should be fine as long as they keep this up."
"They're going to have to work harder. Not to bash them or anything, but the groups nowadays are all quite strong. They'll need a lot to outshine and stand out."
"Yeah. Couldn't agree more."
"Rino, there's going to be a meeting, did you receive any message?" Yongjin asked and she went and check her phone.
"Yeah. Thanks for notifying me. Wouldn't have known it." Rino smiled. The music ended and the trainees finished their routines.
"Students! The class ends here. I'll see you tomorrow morning at 5am." She said and left with Yongjin to attend the meeting.
"At 5am??"
"I need sleep..."
"I need a bath now..."
"Come on guys, let's go."
The trainees took their stuff and left the room...
...except for one...
"Dongjoo, what are you up to now?" Yongjin asked as he sat down in front of his desk.
"Nothing much. Sorting things out. I'm looking for some ideas from these drafts." Dongjoo was flipping through 3 stacks of files.
"Anything I can help? I just finished my tasks yesterday. Got nothing for now." Yongjin said while taking a file and started reading through it.
"Yea... There is... I have a few songs here. Can you help me go through the demos?"
"Sure. Whose are these?"
"Mine. I'm going to use one or two of them for the movie."
"You? A famous superstar actor... and now producer... writing songs?"
"Yeah. I try. Are they that bad?"
"No. Just quite surprised that you've written 8 complete songs."
"I got in some people to help me of course. Anyway, how are they?"
"They're quite good... You mind if I steal this from you?"
"Huh? What is that? Why?"
"This one 'The Kings and Queens'. The song has a dramatic feel. The lyrics are powerful. An addicting chorus. The company's going to debut a new group. I think this song should be perfect for them."
"Wait a second here. You are thinking of using my song for a rookie group? I'm not a professional or even a proper lyricist. Are you willing to take the risks for this new group?"
"Let me tell you. This song is deep. Just with a little adjusting and refining for the group to synchronize with this song and it'll be a hit. Please? I'll get you the copyrights"
"Okay. Take it."
"Thanks. And these songs here are all good to go. Dongoo, have you ever thought of making an album?"
"Nah. I'm not good at singing at all."
"But you did sang for an OST rite? What was that... that drama... 'The Queen's Revenge'."
"That was 8 years ago. I was a kid."
"It was a good song."
"I'll pass. Besides, I already have new ideas in here." Dongjoo said while pointing to his head.
"I get it." Yongjin gave up in trying to persuade him to get into the singing career.
Yongjin's phone rang and he received a message for a spontaneous meeting.
"Well. I have to go. Looks like we'll have a new major project.

Ice Skating
"Sir, you'll be up in awhile." A girl knocked on my door and said. I thanked her as she left hurriedly. I checked myself in the mirror. I was wearing a sparkling red and black costume. I took deep breaths and wobble my limbs to shake off the nervousness. Even after so many competitions and performances, I'm still having these nervous moments. It's harder to believe it when people know that you are the national representative...
"...The moment you've been waiting for! Everyone, please welcome U-know Yunho!" The MC announced. I kicked my skates and skated towards the center of the ice rink. I struck a pose and the lights dimmed. In a millisecond, the music started, the spot lights shone, the crowd cheered as my performance started.
The beat to "Rising Sun" echoed in the hall and I dashed towards the crowd. Only turning at the last second before I jumped and gave a triple rotation in mid-air. The audience cheered and clapped. I danced on the ice rink, following the rhythm of the music and feeling the emotions. I performed a few spins and more jumps.
Then towards the second verse of the song, my partner came out. Claudia dressed in fiery red skated towards me and I caught her. We spun together and the audience went wild. As the beat of the song changed to a faster one, I threw her and she spun mid air. Landing swiftly after that, she made another jump and rotated twice before I caught her hand and we continued dancing.
As the second chorus end, she bowed and skated away. I was alone again for my final act. I had to do a continuous jumps of triple-rotation. I calmed myself and waited for the right tempo to synchronize with my heartbeat. And then... I started the chain of jumps.
"Jump, One, two, three... jump, one, two, three... one two... "
One moment, I was in the air, twirling. The next, I made a careless landing and slipped. I fell knee first onto the cold hard ice. Something cracked.
My mind went blank. The crowd went silent. I froze in a kneeling position as I dare not move. The staffs scurried towards me. My coach, Changmin was way ahead of them. He and the staffs helped me from a kneeling position to sitting on the ice. My coach checked my knee, barely touching it or moving it.
"We'll have to bring you to the medics. Immediately." He said and I was brought to the hospital pronto.
"I'm not going to tell you to be depressed or optimistic. But you'll have to brace yourself for whatever the results." Changmin said as we waited for the X-ray results. I knew he wants me to expect the worst. Since he, once a medical personnel, must've known how serious was my knee.
"I'm afraid I have bad news..." The doctor came in with the x-ray results. He then revealed that there was a big crack in my knee... as well as a badly twisted ankle and... ...
...never ice skate anymore...
The words I never wanted to hear came.
"Can you check again doctor?" I said immediately, disbelieved, anger flowing through my blood.
"Yunho, calm down." Changmin said and held me down so that I won't stand up.
Changmin and the doctor talked a little longer. I was given the basic explanations. What to do, what not to... how to heal it... but I wasn't listening anymore.
I sank into an endless pit. I am stopped from doing what I've been doing all my life, what I love... what my heart is... I can't ice skate anymore...
Changmin drove me home that day. He didn't say much. He just told me follow what the doctor said. As the car stopped in front of my house, he told me to rest early. Using the new crutches given by the hospital, I dragged myself out of the car and bid goodbye.
For the next few days, I stayed at home alone. I was practically doing nothing since I had to lessen the movements of my leg. I was constantly watching TV or lecturing myself for being so careless. Alcohol seems to be such a good companion when you're being down. Yet, somehow, miraculously, I have prevented myself from touching the bitter juice in the fridge by imagining Changmin staring at me with his eyes bulging out with fire. Only now I realized how dependent I am towards my coach. I would turn on my phone every morning, hoping to get a text or a missed call from him. However, Changmin being my manager as well, went to sort things out with the media and endorsements. Of course he would be busy...
It was almost a week I stayed in the compound of my house. Locking myself from the outside world. Not knowing what is going on out there. I knew I had to get up and not be depressed. I mentally slapped myself for being so grey.
Well, they say jogging helps you to clear your mind. But I'll have to improvise a bit. Changing my clothes and wearing a cap, I took my crutches and left the house for some fresh air.
I walked through the streets. Admiring the weather, the buildings, old and new, the new shops, the stalls... Watching people busying with their things...
How long ago was it when I walked through the streets? For almost 10 years ago? It's been quite a long time huh? I've been ice skating my whole life... what should I do in the future? What can I do?
Before I could find an answer, my stomach growled madly. I looked at my watch and it showed 2pm. Seems like I've skipped breakfast and lunch...
The next shop was a small grocery stall owned by a sweet old lady, Mrs. Kim. I used to come here with my mom before I went to train as an ice skater.
"Welcome!" Mrs. Kim greeted and I smiled. She hadn't change that much, just a few small wrinkles. I smiled. Seems like she doesn't recognize me anymore.
I explored the store a bit. It wasn't a very big store, it wasn't small either. There were so many shelves and different variety of foods. I admit, I was quite lost. I didn't know what to look for first.
I was staring at a bunch of purple round things when I heard...
"Yu..Yuu..Yunho-sshi?"
I turned to see a petite girl with a pony tail. She looked at me with her small but twinkling eyes. Somehow, I have this feeling that I've seen her, a lot of times... but I didn't say anything, what was I suppose to say?
"Umm... could you tell me what is this?" I picked up the purple round thing and asked.
"Eh?... It... It's a mangosteen." She was surprised but still answered.
"O...okay... Thanks..." I said awkwardly. What was I doing? A week out of socialization and I can't talk anymore?
"Umm... Yunho-sshi, I'm a fan of yours...can... may I have you're autograph?" She asked timidly.
And suddenly, it hit me. She's the girl in the crowd that cheered for me, supported me since the beginning. She's the girl I laid my eyes on for every skating performance I had. For almost every performance, I would share an eye-locking moment for a person in a crowd. Even if it was just seconds, it was always with her. How could I have forgotten?
"I'll sign an autograph, but before that, could you do me a favor?" I asked, still unsure of where I'm going with this conversation.
"Eh?... Okay." She nodded and smiled widely.
"Could you accompany me for a late lunch?" I asked abruptly.
"Huh? What...?" She was surprised of course.
"Please? I really want to talk to someone, someone who's always been supporting me, someone like you." I pleaded.
"O... okay." She accepted. We shopped for some groceries and went to look for a place for some late lunch.
We went to a local restaurant famous for their traditional Korean food. We chose a table at the corner of the restaurant and ordered food. After the waiter left, I then asked what was her name.
"I'm Hyesun. Um... Yunho-sshi, are you feeling okay?" She asked earnestly. the worry in her eyes were unshielded.
"I'm fine. My leg's healing a lot." I said and smiled.
"No... I saw the news that you... you can't skate anymore... Yunho-sshi, I'm asking are you feeling okay here?" She asked while her hand pointed to her heart.
"I... I'm trying to adjust to it... I know I can, just need a little time..." I said honestly.
"Yunho! hwaiting!" She cheered and her cuteness made me smile. She was naturally cute, and it made her shine.
"Hwaiting!" I cheered as well.
"Yunho-sshi, not to be offensive, but have you thought about what are you going to do in the future?" She asked me when we were eating.
"I haven't decide anything... do you have any ideas?" I kept on chewing my food since my stomach had been empty for such a long time.
"Hmm... since you're still studying... just continue?" Hyesun ended with a question mark.
"Yeah... I guess that's what I'll do for now." I sighed at the thought of the future, starting all over again with something other than ice skating.
"Don't worry, you'll find your way eventually." Hyesun gave me a smile that warmed my heart. She just knew what to say to make me feel better...
We talked more as we ate. Later I know a bit about Hyesun. She's 3 years younger than me, studying business management at Gwangju University. Even thou she's still studying, she already had a small business. She has such a bubbly personality, just that she doesn't show it much since she's quite shy. Throughout the meal, I talk a lot and she listened to me blabber too.
As we finished our meal, I thanked her and gave her an autograph like I promised before. She bowed and said thank you a lot of times.
"Can I have your number?" I took all of my courage and asked her before she left.
She nodded. Her face went red as she typed in her number into my cell phone.
"Thank you Hyesun. Thank you so much." I said as she boarded the public bus.
After that unplanned lunch, I decided to continue my studies in Seoul National University as Changmin also agreed that it's a good decision. He said that I can still be in the ice skating scene, not as a performer or athlete, but as a coach. He said that I have potential in coaching and encouraged me to give it a shot. I would follow him for the training sessions and learned how he taught them. What should I be focusing on and what should I be doing. It wasn't what I expected but I am content.
And Hyesun? I contacted Hyesun whenever I can. We became good friends. After she graduated, we decided to start a proper center to teach kids to ice skate. We're still in the process of setting up the center. And do you know? As we spent more time together. I realized, I like her a lot... Should I ask her to be my girlfriend?
Happy belated bday~ coffee~
FYI, I joined the competition... :D

Another Night
She decided to cut her hair today

The lady asked
I'm sure of it.
She was determined
Such beautiful long hair...
The lady sighed
She combed it straight
snip, snip, snip
the long strands fell down onto the ground
After that, the lady took her time in trimming the ends
You're all done.
The lady said when she was starting to feel sleepy
Thank you
she said and paid
Why did you cut your hair?
her friends asked
astonished
Just felt like cutting it
It feels nice
she said
smiling radiantly
yes
she felt so alive
she was having so many issues
and it bothered her
even getting a hair cut
was so relieving
it was like all your worries were lifted
she felt rejuvenated
to see things from a different point of view
yes
she was now ready
ready to tackle those troubles
to rid of them
with a positive mind
with a new spirit
with a new found direction
she's going to live her life differently now

First Day In Uni (1)
"Aish... why didn't the alarm work?!" Hyesun grumbled to herself while combing her hair and tying it in a ponytail. She woke up half an hour late.Taking her stuff, she rushed to the kitchen.
"Good morning!" Hyesun said when she saw Yoohwan and Jimin.
"Morning!" The two of them smiled. Jimin was eating cereal and Yoohwan was reading the newspaper.
"There's still some prune cake here." Jimin said.
"Thank you. I'm late... I'm gonna go first." Hyesun took a piece and munched on it.
"But isn't it still early?" Yoohwan asked her.
"Huh? Oppa, what are you talking about?" Jimin all wide-eyed.
"It's only 7..." Yoohwan pointed at the clock.
"Eh?... Ah! I set my alarm clock faster by 30 minutes!" Hyesun blushed. Well, at least she's not late.
"Aigoo..." Hyesun sighed as she sat at the dining table. She ate the piece of cake and got herself some coffee as well.
After the breakfast, Yoohwan offered to send her to school since he was sending Jimin as well. Their school was quite near to each other anyway.
@@
Hyesun's POV
Walking to the assembly hall, I saw a line of maybe... around 10 students? They were seriously early since the registration counter only opened when I arrive.
"Good morning!" Hyesun said when she saw Yoohwan and Jimin.

Hyesun's POV
Walking to the assembly hall, I saw a line of maybe... around 10 students? They were seriously early since the registration counter only opened when I arrive.
I went in line and double checked my file
of papers to make sure I have everything.
"This is going to be a boring
wait…" I mumbled. Well… at least I'm still early…
"Yeah… and I heard that there's an
orientation at 10am ." A girl behind me said.
I turned around to see a beautiful girl
with long hair. She was wearing such nice clothes and looked so stylish. A
total contrast to me and my formal office blouse and black skirt.
"Really? How did you know?" I
asked.
"I asked one of the lecturers here
before I came in line." She was arranging her documents in an expensive
looking file.
"By the way, I'm Krystal." She
smiled and introduced herself after checking her file.
"I'm Hyesun." I shook her hands
and noticed the brightly colored and beautifully manicured nails.
"So, you're signing up for which
subject?" Krystal asked when I didn't talk after saying my name.
"Umm… Law?" I made an awkward
laugh. I wasn't sure if I chose the right subject… giving it a try?
"I'm taking up law as well! Then we'll
be in the same class."
We talked for almost an hour before it was
finally our turn. It was because some of the students were having problems in
registration or they were just asking a lot of questions.
I went towards the counter, somehow feeling a bit nervous.
The person sitting behind the counter was a
lady by the name of Jihyo. She had her hair tied neatly and wore black framed
specs.
"Good morning." I greeted and sat
down.
"Morning. May I have these
documents?" She pointed to a list on the table.
"Here they are." I handed the
file of papers and waited as she checked.
"You're taking law studies?" She
said while flipping through the pages.
"Yes." I replied.
"Your file is complete. And… here's
your temporary timetable, starting today. The actual timetable won't be out
until next week. This week is the orientation week. You'll have to be at the
assembly later at 10.00am . Please check your name and information here and sign. Then, you're
done with the registration." She gave instructions and I nodded and
nodded.
"Thank you." I signed the paper
and went to the side to wait for Krystal.

Meeting 'The New Family' (2)
"Oppa!" Jimin ran out of the kitchen. Her reaction surprised Hyesun. Hyesun went to see who it was, keeping a little distance since she don't want to be such a busybody.
"Hey! My princess, had your lunch?" It was a deep voice... like Yoohwan's. In fact, the guy looks like Yoohwan too...
"Yes! Oppa, have you had yours?"
"I skipped. Hehehe..." He scratched his head and gave a goofy laugh.
"I've made a cake. Come try it!" Jimin said excitedly, pulling the guy's arm.
"Is it nice?"
"Yeah! Hyesun unnie said so!"
"Hyesun?" The guy had a big question mark on his head.
"Oops, I forgot. She's the student from SNU..."
"Her?" The guy pointed to Hyesun who was still standing at the kitchen doorway.
"Hello. Nice to meet you." Hyesun greeted, a little embarrassed.
"He's my OLDest brother. Yoochun oppa." Jimin emphasizing the words "old".
"I'm Micky Yoochun. Why do you have to emphasize old?" Yoochun introduced himself then carried his sister bridal style. Jimin tried to resist but she was just too light.
"Let's go try your cake. Hyesun, want a cup of cappuccino?" Yoochun asked as he neared the kitchen.
Hyesun nodded while Jimin was still struggling to get Yoochun to put her down.
@@
"Duuu.... Duuu... Duuu..." Hyesun waited for the phone. It was already 8pm.
"Hello?" A lady answered it.
"Hello mummy." Hyesun said as a smile formed on her face. Yeah, it's only been like half a day, but she love hearing her mother's voice.
"Hyesun! Why didn't you call when you arrive? You should have called hours ago! Have you had your dinner? And how is the place?"
" Something came up hahaha... I've had dinner, rice cakes and dumplings mainly. And dessert too, prune cake. The room's nice and cozy. I'm getting used to it already." Hyesun said cheekily.
"Just out of the house for one day and you're already so proud?" Her mother faked a sigh.
"Mom, I was just kidding." Hyesun pouted.
"I know my daughter, okay? Anyway, why didn't you call earlier?" Her mother asked again.
"Emm traffic?" Hyesun lied. She decided to tell her about the incident next time...
"Aigoo. It shouldn't be that bad... you must have gone the wrong way... you got lost rite?? You ah, clumsy daughter..." Hyesun laughed it off.
"Mom, how's it there?" Hyesun asked.
"Hmm... the usual... Your father playing under the hot sun for hours, attending to his garden... I cleaned up your shelf today. Hyesun can you tell me why do you have to keep 3 boxes of papers?"
"Mom, you didn't throw them away, rite?? They're important to me. You didn't throw rite??" Hyesun panicked.
"I just tidied the place and got rid of the thick dust. I promise, I did not throw you stuff." Her mother tried to calm her down. Somehow, the boxes were always a sensitive topic. Her mother knew Hyesun stored papers in those boxes but never asked what they were.
"Thanks mom. Thank you for helping me clean up and not throwing my things."
"Hmm... How's Mrs. Park? How's the people there?"
"I didn't get to see Mrs. Park today. Her daughter, Jimin said she had to go out of town and will be back. Jimin's sooo cute! She's 4 years younger than me. Then there's her 2 older brothers, Yoohwan and Yoochun. Jimin said one's a boss of a small company and the other's a writer..."
The mother and daughter conversed until Hyesun was nagged to go to bed. Well... she does have a record of waking up late...
"Hey! My princess, had your lunch?" It was a deep voice... like Yoohwan's. In fact, the guy looks like Yoohwan too...
"Yes! Oppa, have you had yours?"

Meeting 'The New Family' (1)
"Jimin ah, what are you doing? O dear, what have you done to the kitchen?" Her brother asked as he popped his head into the kitchen.
"It's fine! I'm gonna clean this up once the cake is done." Jimin said reassuringly.
"And when will that be?" Her brother was giving a fake stare.
"Soon." Jimin answered coolly without looking at her brother. She was so immersed in her work.
"Can you be a little specific?"
"I don't know... about 40 minutes?" She said innocently while looking at her brother.
"Aigoo... The student will be arriving soon, could you clean up a bit and give a good impression?" He asked and started washing the mixing bowl.
"Why do you sound so irritated, oppa?" Jimin asked again, all wide-eyed.
"Diiiing Doooong!" The door bell rang.
"Jimin ah, could you help me answer the door?"
"Okay!" She said excitedly and skipped towards the door.
@@
Hyesun tidied her hair a bit after she pressed the doorbell.
"Annyeong haseyo!" A girl about 3 or 4 years younger than her appeared at the door.
"Annyeong haseyo. I'm Jang Hyesun. Is this Ma'am Park's house?" Hyesun bowed and asked.
"Yes, my mum's out now..."
"Hello, you must be the student from SNU. Come in, come in." A tall guy interrupted the young girl. He then helped Hyesun with the luggage and led her into the house.
"Jimin, you should go take care the kitchen..." He said to the young girl.
"You couldn't handle it huh?" She chuckled and went to the back of the living room.
"I haven't introduce myself huh? I'm Ricky Yoohwan and the cute girl you met earlier is my sister, Jimin." He bowed a bit.
"Don't call me cute!" Jimin said aloud from the kitchen.
Yoohwan laughed at the reaction from his sister. Hyesun could only smile at the cute and closeness of the siblings.
Yoohwan's phone suddenly rang and he answered it immediately.
"Yes? I'm speaking..."
Hyesun took the time to look around the place.
The living room was small but it was furnished so well that it looked spacious. Traditional wooden chairs in place of sofas that divide the living room and the dining area. The coffee table was also made of wood with beautiful flower carvings. Some potted plants around. A few cabinets with a TV set on top of it. One large bookshelf that covered the whole wall and on it were books and photos of the family. A few paintings were hung on another side of the wall.
"...Okay, thanks. What about Mr. Gyu? Rite, I'll be there in about 20 minutes." He then ended the phone call.
"I have to go out. That room over there is yours. It's all set up already. Please make yourself at home, Hyesun. I have business to attend to. Sorry."
"Hmm? O... Okay. Thank you." Hyesun bowed and Yoohwan then rushed to one of the rooms. He got out pretty quickly, blazer hung on one of his arm while his hands were busy with his tie.
"Jimin ah, please finish up your project and do your school work. I have to go meet up with a client. Bye princess." He gave his sister a kiss on the forehead and left.
Hyesun then took her luggage to her room.
The room was painted white and only one side of the wall was painted with a light purple. There was a painting of the scenery of a countryside hung on one of the white walls. It reminded her of her hometown. A bed, a black bookshelf, a closet and a desk. There is a shared toilet too. Well, at least she don't have to walk too far away.
After unpacking and arranging her stuff, Hyesun decided that she should get to know more of the family that she's staying with.
"Umm... Jimin?" She went to the kitchen to see the young girl wiping the basin area.
"Hm? Hyesun unnie?" Jimin turned to her.
"Brriiinng!" The oven sounded.
"Yes! It's done!" Jimin said to herself. She quickly put on a pair of oven mitts and opened the oven.
"Are you baking prune cake?" Hyesun recognized the aroma immediately.
"Yeah. How did you know?" Jimin poked the cake using a toothpick.
"I've tried making it a few times." Hyesun said and went next to Jimin to see the cake.
"Really? Unnie, how do you see if it's cooked?" Jimin asked while handing her the toothpick.
"If the toothpick doesn't have any sticky stuff on it, then it's done. Like yours here." Hyesun pushed the toothpick in and pulled it out.
"Could you be my first taster?" Jimin asked while taking a plate and a knife.
"Sure!"
Hyesun blew a little before taking a bite. Jimin was sitting beside her, anticipating.
"Omo! It's so nice! Come, you try too!" Hyesun said and fed Jimin a little.
"Hello?" It came from the front door.
"It's fine! I'm gonna clean this up once the cake is done." Jimin said reassuringly.
"And when will that be?" Her brother was giving a fake stare.
"Soon." Jimin answered coolly without looking at her brother. She was so immersed in her work.

Another Splash: Kem Kaizen
28 June 2012 Thursday ~ 30 June 2012 Saturday
first day
went deep into the hilly areas filled with palm trees
there was a not so small but not that big
village looking military site
Kem Kaizen
As everyone gathered
introductions were made
a few coaches/trainers
a few familiar faces
others new
backpacks were searched quite thoroughly
someone brought something forbidden
everyone got punished
everyone laid on the ground
then turning left and right
until our hairs were filled with sands and stones
then we were told to waddle like ducks
and later
crawl(?) army style into the spiky nettings and muddy waters
then slide down into the lake of muddy looking water
seriously
they did have a slide made of cement
after we climbed out of the water
we were drenched in our JPAM uniforms
all muddy as well
then we had to take our backpacks and luggage
and walk up and down the steep roads to our dorms
skip skip
learned about the emergency siren
that was used during a war
there were 3 types
what to do
how to react
drop down XD
place both hands over head
to protect it from harm
and cross both your legs
I have no idea why yet
then we were divided into maybe 10 groups?
one group has either 10 or 11 people
we were given a white cloth
to design our flag
I was in kiwi
we had the name dragon fruit but another group took it
then we had to think about the vision, mission and our goal
the siren suddenly went off
everyone rushed to get a spot
but
out of 110 students
only 12 survived
others were caught as hostages
and forced to lie down on the road with their hands on their heads
I got caught as well
after getting lectured in that position
our arms were sore and the sun had burnt the surface of our elbows
skip skip
at night
had presentations by group
about the flag that we drew
and its meanings
and the vision mission
and goals
then after 12 night
we were told to blindfold ourselves
and later lead to somewhere
and asked to sit down
as much as I want to experience the real thing
I was tired
and dozed off at a point
after maybe an hour?
I seriously don't know how long we were blindfolded
then we were asked to take it off
I was sitting inside an empty room
the coach said that it was a place to take cover during an attack?
he then explained
imagine if you were suddenly caught and brought to a certain place
you were knocked out and tied up
when you wake up
your vision is still blurry
like when you were blindfolded
what are you suppose to do?
steady yourself and learn to keep calm
examine where you are
only then you decide what to do
after that we were lead to the gathering place
we were told to lie down
closing our eyes with the same cloth
when everyone was back
we were led to another area
the coach said that we are going to climb the mountain
alone
at night
with no torchlight whatsoever
only a rope will be guiding us
one person at a time
we waited
some slept
some chatted away
some meditate
some just sat there and kept quiet
it was already about an hour or more
I went in
the climb was seriously steep
and I slipped a few times
but I grabbed the rope really tightly
cause
seriously
I can't see much and I don't like climbing mountains AT NIGHT ALONE
climbed up
climbed down
reached checkpoint
and slept soundly
on the cold concrete floor
when we woke up
it was about 6 o'clock in the morning
our legs ached so badly that we had to help each other
skip skip
gaming session
not meaning the innocent fun one
but the thrilling one
like in the army
with swinging tires, Tarzan swings, rocking bridge, ropes, monkey bars, floating on a wooden box thingy, bridge again, jumping on tires, putting mud on your face
yeah, we did half of it
and continued it the next day because it was late
skip skip
had a face mask session
using mud from the lake
went hiking
with the face mask hardening
pretty scary at some slopes cause there was no rope whatsoever
saw leeches
reached a rocky area or peak
got to see a scenery at a very very very very high place
then walked back down
continued the gaming thing from the day before
skip skip
got blind folded again and placed at somewhere and sat there for a few hours
at night
tired
slept unconsciously
while in a sitting position
skip skip
do morning exercise
pumping, star jumps
too exhausted
yet we were told to do more
some continued
others stood there trying to ignore
another bunch gave up and went into the lake
for an early swim
I was in the lake
and my shoulder bone ached after awhile
looks like it's not healed since a few months ago
anyway
we got out after being called
got a lecture
then had to do another gaming session
with another set of army games
climbing tires
I got scared and couldn't get down
I was going to cry already
seriously
heights and adrenaline
are not my thing
then we had to climb the nets
I tried to do it quickly
and got my friend calling me to be careful and slow down
I was shaking like crazy
but in the end
yeah, I got through it
skip skip
closing ceremony
many many girls cried
I was okay at first
but since my friends were crying waterfalls
my tears were starting to run around the eyeballs
I didn't cry out thou
yeah for me
I guess?
the boys were just standing there
most of them were just looking at us like
what's going on? why do you have to cry? are we in the right place?
yeah, the whole scene was just so funny
Had lunch
photo session
went back home
bus was old and not very nice
but since we were so tired
we slept the whole way
3 days 2 nights
got tortured
but
we've learned a lot
one way or another
