CHAPTER 2
──────────
“Unnie, isn’t this too much? You almost fill up your fourth suitcase...” Seohyun said while packing Taeyeon’s clothes. “There are no more time, just put everything in there, hurry Seohyun...” Taeyeon answered rashly, her hand pressed down excessive clothes into her suitcase... “Calm down Taeyeon-ah calm down” Taeyeon calmed herself, fanning her hand in the air to her face. This situation occurred because yesterday they fall asleep without preparing anything and now they have to compete with the time to catch the departure schedule.
“Yes finally the last pack... Wuuh I know we can make it” Taeyeon looked exceedingly satisfied. “Help me to take this suitcase to downstairs, you bring that one and I will bring the biggest...” She tried so hard to make her heavy suitcase stand using her little hands.
“Unnie don’t forget to check your ticket and your passport”. Seohyun said. “Everything is complete, I've already checked that haha don’t worry... Ok, let’s go! America I’m coming”. “Your mood is really easy to change” Seohyun pouted her mouth while walking to the door. “Go ahead to the elevator first, unnie have something to do... Wait me in the lobby, Ok” She told her little friend to give a little time for her. Seohyun understood right away, she just nodded and leaved her unnie behind.
Taeyeon’s hand almost knocks her neighbor's door, but she stopped. She pursed her eyebrows and thought ‘Maybe this is not the right thing... Sorry Changmin-ah, I hope you will understand me’. She lowered her body down and put a piece of broken white letter through the small space under the door and followed Seohyun immediately to downstairs.
When Taeyeon reached at downstair, Seohyun helping her to put the suitcases into taxi’s baggage. She gave her tight and big warm hug and saw her unnie carefully went in to the taxi. Taeyeon opened her left window and waved to Seohyun with a smile. “Seohyun-ah saranghae, I will call you after I arrived in America... Bye byeee...” Said Taeyeon with high notes voice. Her waves didn’t stop until Seohyun’s face become smaller and smaller and slightly disappeared from her sight. Taeyeon not let Seohyun to follow her into the airport because it will just make Seohyun sadder so she thought it’s better to separate in her apartment.
────────────────
After moved all her stuffs to her new apartment, Seohyun planned to go to her favorite place. Finally she agreed with Taeyeon’s idea. Her condition forced her to do so before she gets kicked out by the owner of her previous apartment.
She walked into an old bookstore near a bus station. “Ah, Seohyun-ah, long time no see...” A man with the same age as Seohyun greeted her happily. “Aa, anyeong haseyo...” Her eyes wider and she bowed her body immediately. “Where have you been? You never come here again...“ The young man asked.
“Oh, I’m sorry... I’ve been busy with my practice for audition and stuffs... How are you anyway?” She asked back. “I’m good, it’s really nice to see you again in here, my father always ask about you...” He put her hand in Seohyun’s shoulder. His name is Minho and he is Seohyun’s classmate in high school. His father is already old right now and gave the bookstore to his only son, Minho. Is not a big bookstore or you can say it small because their only have two floors, but it still can made a lot of money.
“Do you still keep my order book?” Seohyun asked. “About that, aah I’m really sorry Seohyun-ah... I gave it to another person just a while ago, I thought you...” She cut his line and said “What, How could you do that to me... You know I’m your regular customer. How much he gave you?” She directly switched to interrogate Minho. “Hmm, three times bigger than the real price”. Minho answered “Aish, you are really...” Seohyun pouted her mouth at him and she cannot do anything beside understand his old friend. Minho and his father are famous of their rare book collections. In the past, Seohyun helped Minho as a part timer in that bookstore to earn more money and Minho’s father already considers her as his own daughter.
About three minutes after that, the door bell rang and a tall man with white shirt and black jeans was coming into the bookstore. He walked to the cashier and asked Minho. “Excuse me, I just called you thirty minutes ago to order the last book of The Lost Piano Series...” Minho answered “Oh yes, so you are the person... Here your book, I also wrapped it just like your order. ‘What, this guy reading The Lost Piano? No way...’Seohyun wondered in her mind while seeing him closely. The tall man took off his sunglasses and stared back to Seohyun for a while. Surprised with his face, Seohyun suddenly looked away and her face started turning into red. “You wanna pay cash or use credit card sir?” Asked Minho, break the silence. “I just pay that cash, here and thank you very much”. He said while wearing his sunglasses and walked out of the bookstore.
“So you sell my book to him?” Seohyun gave an angry glance at Minho. “That’s why I said sorry, I don’t know you will come today... I will find that book again and I promise I will save it for you...” Minho convinced Seohyun. “As my apology, I will treat you a cake... How about it?” He offered Seohyun. “Hmm, I am sorry Minho but I still have something to do today. Maybe next time?” Replied Seohyun even though she already imagined how delicious the sweet potato cake in her mind. “Ooh, okay... Next time is alright” Minho replied.
“Minho-ah can you recommend me a new book, I run out of something to read...” Said Seohyun while walking around bookshelves to check their new collection. “How about this?” Minho took out the book from the shelf behind him. “Have you read that?” Seohyun asked, walking towards Minho to see the book closer. “Yes, of course... The story is good” Minho said. “Hmm, then I believe you... Okay I take this one” Seohyun grabbed the book and smiled when she read the title on it ONLY HUMAN. ‘What a simple words, but has a lot of meaning’ She wondered. “I give it for you, my father wanna give it to you actually, he even bought two books one for you and one for me” Said Minho. “Ah really, Woa thank you very much Minho-ah... And thanks to your father too, tell him that I miss his pancake so much”. After that she excused herself to go home and wait for the bus to pick her up.

“Kyuhyun... What is this?” Changmin yelled. When he was opening the front door, a letter stopped his step. “What? I don’t know what is that, I even can’t see you from here...” Kyuhyun just woke up and walked out from his room. “There is no name from the receiver or sender, who send this letter?” Said Changmin. Kyuhyun approached his brother who already wore his office attire. He took a peek of something on his Changmin’s hands.
Changmin opened the letter slowly. “If this letter is in our doormat, it should be for me or for you right?” He asked Kyuhyun, but unfortunately his beloved little brother already turning his body to the room, ready to sleep again. When Changmin read the first line from the letter, blank expression showed in his face. He merely leaved his apartment without saying anything to Kyuhyun, grabbed tightly the letter.

Seohyun sat close to the window. She love that spot when she was in the bus. Her eyes can’t turn from the outside view and suddenly something popped up in her mind. ‘That tall man read The Lost Piano, is he a pianist also? He must be really like that book because he even pays three times more expensive for that rare book... And his eyes when he looked at me...his face is so handsome...’ She tapped her cheek and said “What I’m thinking right now!” She back to look at the view and tried to forget about that tall man.
The sky was becoming dark when Seohyun walked out from the bus. “Wua, today passed so fast... I have to buy something for my dinner” She found a small park near her new apartment and start searching for the ramyun shop that Taeyeon mentioned before.
“If you need something for your daily needs, you can go to the left from here, there is a little store over there and ah there is also ramyun shop with beautiful kind lady near that park Seohyun-an. She will provide your needs with a good price, don’t forget to say my name haha” Taeyeon said.” The taste is really good...You have to try it! “. End Flash back
“This park is really nice... it even has a pond with fountain on it” Seohyun stunned while walking to the pond. “Ah! So many coins in there... beautiful, I think I have found my new favorite place hahaha” said Seohyun happily. She put her hand on her coat, searching for a coin. "Eh, I don't have any coin left... Hmm or maybe I should buy the ramyun first and ask for a coin from the nice lady... Where is the ramyun shop anyway, it should be around here...” Seohyun kept looking for the ramyun shop.
Meanwhile, Kyuhyun ready to ride his bicycle. He always searching for inspirations everyday with his bike to take a look around his favorite place. The weather was so cold that night and he decided to ride his bike slowly. Kyuhyun is a writer, we can say a professional writer because he already published more than five books. We don’t have to surprise because the editor is his only brother, Changmin. He has a ritual everyday to go to the place that he likes with his bike of course, he thought he can get some inspiration from there. And he slowly reached his favorite place, a little park with a beautiful fountain.
“Ow thank you very much unnie, Taeyeon unnie already told me about you and you’re really pretty like she said” Seohyun talked to the owner of ramyun shop. “Really? Taeyeon also talked so much about you, and you’re pretty too...” That two women praised each other among the people who was eating in that little shop. “Here is your ramyun, Seo-hyun am I right ?” The beautiful lady seemed unsure. “Yes, Seohyun... Unnie thank you very much and also for the coin.” Seohyun said while she accepting her ramyun and her coin carefully. “Oh just call me Yuri... Good night Seohyun and take care” said Yuri. Seohyun smiled at her and walked out towards the fountain on the park.
‘Woa that unnie, really really beautiful... I even can’t take my eyes away from her face. Taeyeon unnie is right, she is really beautiful and also kind’. Seohyun thought, walking toward the pond. She put her ramyun on the ground and grabbed her coin. Her body faced to the fountain now. “I will make a wish before throw this lucky coin” said Seohyun to herself. She thought that coin is lucky because she just got it from the beautiful and kind lady.
When she wanted to throw the coin to the pond, she stopped herself. “There is no fun if I just throw it right away, it’s too easy... then my wish won’t be granted”. An idea came to her mind. “Or I will throw it from behind, yes yes hahaha” She satisfied with her own idea. Seohyun turned around her body and her face was against the pond.
She walked three steps forward and closed her eyes, made a wish. “I wish I can meet the tall handsome man from the bookstore again”. She threw her coin with full power because she was too excited. After that, is not a sound of something falling into water that come out but “Aaahh... Yah! What are you doing?” A guy pressed the brake from his bike. Kyuhyun patted his head, felling hurt of something that falls right on his head.
It took two seconds to Seohyun to realize the situation that just happened. She turned around and surprised, her eyes wide open. She was covering her mouth when she saw her lucky coin with her wish not go into the pond but flew away onto someone’s head...
