A/N: it's been exactly 20 months and 4 days since i last updated this fic. i don't wonder if i have any readers left... but a girl can hope...^^ i know it's been so long since my last update and really, i won't blame anyone if you guys won't read this anymore or you've forgotten what this story is altogether. :) i am sorry for not updating for the longest time. lots of things happened, including me getting laid off work and some other stuff, and now i'm still stuck, still looking for work but also starting something new... something that i've been wanting to do since i'd learned to help my mom around the kitchen when i was younger. :)
my RL drama aside, i do want to start over, or in HBAT's case, continue on to the end. i still don't know how many chapters this story adaptation will be, but i've currently written a few more chapters and yeah... i don't plan on sticking close with the manga's original plot though, but i do plan on using the manga as my outline so i can keep my story in line... :)
i'll try my best to update at least weekly or at most twice a month.
so here goes... ^^

JUNSU
I felt the small box that contained the couple rings I had won in the shooting game in my pocket. I frowned as I looked at the makeshift stage that our class president is standing on along with Yoochun, who was currently being auctioned off.
“Yah. Stop frowning or everyone’s going to be scared of you.” Yunho teased.
“I don’t like some of those looks they’re giving him.” I muttered darkly.
I saw Yunho mirror my frown as he saw some of the outsiders who had visited our school fair giving Yoochun dirty looks.
“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it.”
We both turned to find Changmin and Kyuhyun. Kyuhyun turned to Changmin with a nod before walking over to the small stage and raising his hand.
“$200.” Kyuhyun said. His voice was loud enough to carry over the crowd.
I stared wide eyed before turning to Changmin for an explanation.
“We pooled our money together.” Changmin simply said. “I refuse to hand over my best friend to those… outsiders. Since both you and Yunho aren’t allowed to bid, Kyuhyun and I were the only options left.”
I looked at Changmin in disbelief and awe.
“Always one step ahead, aren’t you?” I shook my head in amusement as I smiled at Yoochun’s best friend. “Thank you, Changmin.”
“Thanks, Min-ah.” Yunho smiled.
“$250!”
Our attention went back to the ongoing auction.
“$350.” Kyuhyun calmly countered.
“Three hundred and fifty dollars! Now do we have a higher bid? Anyone?”
“$400!”
“The price is now at four hundred dollars!”
“$800.” Kyuhyun offered.
A hush suddenly fell on the crowd after hearing Kyuhyun speak. I saw him smirk as he looked at the group of guys who were glaring right back at him, daring them to make another, higher offer. From the looks on their faces and Kyuhyun’s, I knew that they didn’t have the money.
“Eight hundred dollars to Kyuhyun-sshi! Going once! Going twice! SOLD!”
“As per our auction’s conditions, Yoochun will be spending an entire day with you. Congratulations!”
Yoochun stepped down the stage and met Kyuhyun with a grateful smile. Together they headed towards our group.
“Now we’ve come to today’s main showcase!”
Everyone seemed to have been waiting for this moment as they clapped and cheered. I looked at Yoochun and caught his eye. He gave me an encouraging smile and I nodded in return. I took a deep breath and walked up to him.
“Keep this safe for me?” I asked, taking his hand and placing the small black box on it.
I watched as Yoochun looked at the little box curiously and then at me. Realization hit him as he nodded.
“I will.” Yoochun smiled.
I leaned over and placed a chaste kiss on his forehead before taking a deep breath. I walked towards the stage and made my way onto it.

“Who among you would want to spend an entire day with our very own KIM JUNSU?”
Loud cheers erupted from the crowd. Some of them even started waving their money, shouting their bids. I tried not to feel jealous. This was just a class project for school.
“The bidding starts at $300!”
“$500!”
“$750!”
“$800!”
“$850!”
“$900!”
I was shocked at the amount these people are trying to bid just to get Junsu.
“They sure are ruthless.” Yunho commented beside me. “I’m glad I had persuaded the class rep to exclude me from that.”
“That’s just because she has this huge crush on you.” Donghae countered. “I hate that you took advantage of that.” He pouted.
Yunho just shrugged chuckling.
“Hey we can do whatever we want with Junsu for an entire day right?”
“Yes, of course! He’ll be at your full disposal.”
“She had this glint in her eyes when she said that.” Donghae muttered. “She’s being greedy because the amount is just shy of a thousand dollars.”
I chose to remain silent even though inside I was a bit worried. But I pushed the feeling aside.
“$950!”
“$975!”
“$2000!”
Silence.
To say that I was shocked would be an understatement. Even the emcee was shocked into silence, mouth hanging open at the amount. All eyes were on a petite woman with shoulder length brown-blonde hair.
“Do we have any other bidders?”
Again the answer was silence.
“SOLD!”
“Who is she?”
“Have you seen her before?”
“She clearly doesn’t go to our school.”
I watched silently as the young woman went up the stage to stand beside Junsu, who was looking at the former with a shocked expression. I got the feeling that Junsu knew who she was.
“Who the hell is that woman?” Donghae asked.
“Taeyeon.” Yunho frowned, his voice grim. “If she’s here then…” he trailed off as he searched the crowd.
Yunho seemed to have found who he was looking for. He looked at me before grabbing my hand and pulled me through the crowd.
“Heechul.” Yunho said. “I should have known.”
