"Ha Nah! Wait for me!" Eight years old Yun Ho ran towards the six years old Ha Nah and grabbed her arm. "What's wrong? Why are you crying?"
"Yun Ho oppa..." Ha Nah hugged him. "I'm leaving tomorrow."
"What?" Yun Ho nearly shouted. His best friend was leaving soon. "Why? To where?"
"Appa's company assigned him to London..." Ha Nah said.
"Must you go?" Yun Ho asked.
"Yea..." Ha Nah answered.
"Then, when will you be coming back?" Yun Ho asked.
"I don't know..."Ha Nah said.
Yun Ho took down the heart-shaped necklace he was wearing and helped Ha Nah to put the necklace around her neck.
"Choi Ha Nah," Yun Ho raised her chin so that she was looking at him. "Promise me, you'll come back one day."
"I promise you," Ha Nah said.
_Fifteen years later_
Once Min Ah stepped out the airport, she could see Dong Bang Shin Ki's posters hanging around the airport. She smiled when she saw Yun Ho on the posters.
'He had succeed,' Min Ah thought.
She touched the heart-shaped necklace she was wearing, 'Yun Ho oppa, I'm back.'
She stopped a cab and headed to a hotel. Meanwhile, Dong Bang Shin Ki was having a conference at the hotel. Min Ah was registering at the counter when she heard someone calling "Yun Ho". She turned around and saw a tall guy wearing a sunglass. It was Yun Ho. She knew it was him. But, why did he look so angry?
"Are you angry because the reporters asked if you're dating Ayumi?" Jae Joong asked Yun Ho as he threw his arm around Yun Ho's shoulder.
"Why are they asking about my private life?" Yun Ho was annoyed by the reporters' question.
"You can just admit it since I already admit that I'm dating Tiffany," Jae Joong said.
"But, as you know. If I admit, both Ayumi and me will always been followed by the reporters and that's troublesome," Yun Ho said.
Min Ah heard they conversation even if she didn't want to. She gave up her study in London and argued with her parents just to come back to Korea to fulfil her promise and to tell him that she loved him. But, he already had a girlfriend.
"Hey, that girl is looking at you," Jae Joong told Yun Ho.
Yun Ho turned around and saw Min Ah. He noticed the necklace she was wearing.
'Choi Min Ah!' Yun Ho thought.
Min Ah realised Yun Ho was staring at her. She quickly walked away. Yun Ho walked up towards her and grabbed her arm.
"Are you Choi Min Ah?" Yun Ho asked.
"Yun Ho oppa," Min Ah faked a smile on her face even though her heart was in pain after she knew he had a girlfriend.
"You're back," Yun Ho hugged her.
'You'd never know how much I miss your hug,' Min Ah thought. 'But it belongs to someone else now.'
"I miss you," Yun Ho said.
"Me too," Min Ah said.
"Are you on vacation?" Yun Ho asked.
"No. I come back to continue my study here," Min Ah told him.
"Why are you leaving at hotel?" Yun Ho asked. "You can stay at my dorm since we have an empty room. Right, Jae Joong?"
"Yup," Jae Joong said.
Yun Ho and Jae Joong met with the other three members of Dong Bang Shin Ki. Yoo Chun was attracted by Min Ah's beauty. Yun Ho helped Min Ah to unpack her stuff. He also introduced her to his girlfriend, Ayumi. One day, Yoo Chun had fall sick. Min Ah helped to look after him while the rest of Dong Bang Shin Ki's members went out for their schedule.
"Yoo Chun oppa, are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?" Min Ah asked Yoo Chun who was laying tiredly on the couch.
"No. I'm not hungry, Min Ah," Yoo Chun said. "Min Ah, can you help me to go back to my room?"
"Sure," Min Ah said.
Yoo Chun had his arm around Min Ah's shoulder while Min Ah put her arm around Yoo Chun's waist. Yoo Chun laid on his bed. Min Ah was about to leave but Yoo Chun grapped her hand.
"Oppa?" Min Ah looked at Yoo Chun with a confused look.
"Min Ah," Yoo Chun sat up on his bed. "I love you since I first met you. Will you be my girlfriend?"
Min Ah was shocked by Yoo Chun's sudden confess. She didn't know what to say.
"I'll think about it," Min Ah said and left his room.
She bumped into Yun Ho who heard their conversation in Yoo Chun's room.
"Yun Ho oppa," Min Ah greeted him and headed back to her room.
Yun Ho followed after her and shut the door.
"So, are you going to say yes?" Yun Ho asked.
"What?" Min Ah still didn't know that Yun Ho heard their conversation.
"Are you going to be Yoo Chun's girlfriend?" Yun Ho asked.
"What do you think? Should I say yes?" Min Ah wished Yun Ho said 'no'.
"Well, you should. Yoo Chun will be a good boyfriend," Yun Ho said.
"If that's what you want," Min Ah mumbled.
Next day, Min Ah told Yoo Chun her answer, which was yes. Yoo Chun even announced their relationship to the public. It had been months since they started to date.
"Honey, did you know that Yun Ho propose to Ayumi?" Yoo Chun asked when he watched Min Ah cooking in the kitchen.
"What?" Min Ah was shocked by what Yoo Chun asked her. She couldn't believe that he proposed to Ayumi.
"Honey, are you okay?" Yoo Chun asked worriedly.
"I guess so..." Min Ah said. "I'm going to take a nap in my room."
Min Ah locked her door and fall onto her knees. She hugged her knees together while tears started to roll down her cheeks. Later that night, Min Ah walked out the room to find food to eat.
"Min Ah, you're still awake?" Yun Ho who was still in the living room asked.
"Yun Ho oppa..." Min Ah greeted him.
"Min Ah, I want to tell you something," Yun Ho said.
"What is it?" Min Ah asked even though she already knew what he was going to tell her.
"Ayumi had agreed to marry me," Yun Ho smiled happily which caused Min Ah's heart more painful.
"Congrats," Min Ah said.
"Thanks," Yun Ho said.
Few days later, Min Ah packed her stuff. She also told Yoo Chun that she actually loved Yun Ho. Now that he was going to marry, she didn't have the guts to continue to face him. Min Ah left to the airport before Yun Ho went back to the dorm. After Yoo Chun told Yun Ho that Min Ah was leaving, Yun Ho rushed to the airport. He found Min Ah.
"Why are you leaving?" Yun Ho questioned her as he pulled her out from the airport.
"I want to go back to study in London," Min Ah answered.
"Can't you at least stay until my wedding ended?" Yun Ho pouted.
Tears rolled down her cheeks when she heard the word 'wedding'.
"Min Ah......" Yun Ho called her.
"How do you expect me to watch your wedding whenI'm deeply in love with you?" Min Ah asked him.
"What are you talking about?" Yun Ho asked.
"I love you! I love you since we were younger! Okay?" Min Ah yelled at him and ran out to the road.
"BANG!" A car drove in a fast speed knocked Min Ah down. Blood flow out her body.
"Min Ah!" Yun Ho ran towards her. "Min Ah! Wake up! Min Ah! Help! Please call the ambulance!"
Min Ah was rushed into the emergency room. Min Ah's parents who came to Korea to find her rushed to the hospital after receiving a call from Yun Ho.
"You brat! Where's my daughter?" Min Ah's father ran towards Yun Ho and grabbed his shirt's collar.
"She's in the emergency room, uncle..." Yun Ho said.
"Don't call me uncle! I shouldn't let her come back to find you!" Min Ah's father grabbed Yun Ho's collar.
"Honey, don't..." Min Ah's mother tried to calm her husband down.
The emergency light turned off. Three of them went up to the doctors.
"I'm sorry," The doctor shook his head and walked away, leaving Min Ah's parents crying and Yun Ho who couldn't accept the fact.
On the day of Min Ah's funeral, all Dong Bang Shin Ki's members attended the funeral. Min Ah's mother passed Yun Ho a stack of letters which Min Ah wrote when she was in London but never deliver them.
When they got back to their dorm, Yun Ho locked himself in the room and read all the letters. Tears rolled down his cheeks after he finished reading all the letters. He blamed himself for Min Ah's death. If he didn't tell her that he had proposed to Ayumi, Min Ah wouldn't leave and wouldn't meet accident.
_Three years later_
Early in the morning, Yun Ho left the dorm. He wore a white t-shirt with a black coat, matching a pair of jeans and a pair of sneakers. He drove to the flower shop.
"Good morning, Mr Jung. Same flower again?" The florist asked when Yun Ho walked in the shop.
Yun Ho nodded slightly. The florist passed to Yun Ho a bouquet of roses. After that, Yun Ho drove off to the place where he always went to every year. He walked towards Min Ah's graveyard and placed the bouquet of roses in front of her photo.
"Min Ah, oppa come to visit you again," Yun Ho touched Min Ah's photo. "You know what? Han Kyung and Ayumi are getting marry next month. Yoo Chun finally asked Jessica to go out with him. Jae Joong and Tiffany had came back from their honeymoon vacation. Jun Su and Ri In are also going out. As for Chang Min, he said he still didn't want to date. The reporters also asked me whether I'm going to date anyone. But, I said, there's already a girl waiting for me. Right?"
After being at the graveyard for an hour, Yun Ho drove back to the dorm and met with his members before they headed to KBS building to make their comeback.
'Min Ah, saranghae,' Yun Ho thought and went up the stage to perform with his members.
