The Scrapbook
Kyuhyun drops his bag at the bed post. It has been a very tiring day.
Not that he found today not enjoyable. Which all fans serenade him happy birthday, while his band members did the funny and dorky dance stand to make him happy. Or that his Appa was in the audience while proudly cheered on the profession that he once against.
No, He was happy. And thankful. For such great birthday he had today.
But there was a hole in his heart that he could not put aside. No matter all his friends and hyungs tried hard to. Because they know that there is only one person who can make the heart of the birthday boy a whole again.
He takes out the scrapbook that Ryeowook gave him this afternoon. "A fan asked me with blink of tears in her eyes that this book could somehow reach you. I saw her at the airport too, trying hard to get this to Siwon. I have been able to restraint myself to open it after I saw what's in the front."
He was confused when Wookie winked after gave him the book. At that time, he just shrugged and put the scrapbook inside his bag. Then at one time he was bored while waiting for his turn for the solo performance. So he took out the scrapbook and open the wrap. And then his heart stopped.
WIRES. So they really do exist.
He opened the book, which its pages each reveals love and support for him and... her. The one girl that he wished more than others could be there with him today.
But she also the only girl who could understand more than others that at this stage their careers are more important than any other things. Include them being together.
Not that he loves her less. Oh, far from that. He cannot live without her!
That is also the reason why he was able to do all the stunts that their management asked him. Included the fake marriage with a girl that he barely know.
All of them because he wants to build his profile (and her profile) to the level that their management would finally let them do what they want to do.
So he can shout to the world that she is the only girl in his life.
He brushed the pages softly. Remember what had happened this afternoon when he was flip these pages with smiles and happy thoughts.
Some fans could be annoying, but these girls definitely none of them.
If only she could see this too, she may be convinced that not all of their fans hated them together.
After all what he wants for his birthday is a new year where he can hold and stare at her openly.
He is still touching the collage which he recognized is from their snapshot during the Seoul MV, when his mobile ring.
His smile getting wider. Only one person will have the nerve to call him at that hour.
"Baby? I just got one of the most beautiful birthday gift " Pause "yeah, but this one different. I am sure you going to love it." Pause "You will? Really?." He sighed. "I miss you Baby."
And then he know what he shall do to keep him for becoming a sulky guy tonight and tomorrow. He would snap each of the pages of that lovely scrapbook with his mobile and send them to his precious girl.
"Take a look at the picture that I just send and let me know what you feel about that."
He sends the first picture to her.
And on the other part of the world, Seohyun's mobile blinked, informs her on the new message.
She opens it and gasps.
"Oppa, when you come home, can you bring that scrapbook to me? I think we should take a selca and find ways to send the selca to these girls as a thank you note."
