"Dongsaeng." Suzy called to Kristine, as she entered

the music room, where Krisitne was playing the violin.

"Neh?" She said, stopping her practice. "I saw a flying

saucer outside of school!" Suzy said excitedly.

Suzy sighed. "Unnie, it was probably just a plane

or satelitte." Kristine told her. Suzy pouted in

disappointment. "Aww. But can you come look with me

dongsaeng? Please? Please? PLeeeasseee?" Suzy begged her.

"Arraseo." Kristine said, and placed her violin

and bow down on her seat gently. Then went with her

outside, as they looked up at the darkening sky.

Kristine saw something flashing, and it was clearly

a satellite. "It's a satellite unnie." She told

Suzy. "Aww okay. I guess I'm gonna go now."

Suzy told her. "Okay, I'll be here for a little bit

longer, I have to practice." Kristine told her.

"Okay dongsaeng. Be careful. goodnight." Suzy said.

Kristine nodded and they said goodbye and Suzy

walked home, since she lived nearby. Kristine went

back inside the empty school and sat at her seat again,

and practiced her piece one last time. Then put her violin

in it's case, and closed the lights, leaving the classroom,

and walking down the hallway to go to her car. She heard

a noise, but shrugged it off, when someone appeared around

the corner, and she let out s shriek. And then she

was relieved when she recognized who it was.

"Jaejoong oppa, you scared me. What are you still doing

here?" She asked him. "I had to finish up a project

in the computer lab. How about you?" He asked her.

"Just getting in some more practice on my violin."

She said, holding up her violin case. He nodded.

"You overwork yourself too much dongseng." He said.

"I'm fine oppa. Really." She said. "Okay. You going

home?" He asked her. "Yeah." She answered, and they

both walked to the parking lot together. And got into

their cars, waving goodbye and driving home.

The following morning, Kristine was walking down

the hallways, with some of her friends, Alyce,

Suzy, G-yan and Gretchen, when she saw GD walking

by the opposite way. He smiled at something one of his

friends had said, and as he walked by, Kristine was

completely dazed in his smile, and ending up hitting

her face in an open locker. A lot of people saw this,

and started snickering, but her friends were concerned.

GD and his friends glanced over, and they started

laughing and walked off. Kristine turned pink from

embarrassment. "OMO. Dongsaeng gwenchana?" Gretchen asked

her worriedly. The other girls asked the same thing.

"Neh." She said, rubbing her nose. They continued to

walk down the hallway and talk. "Wanna go with us to

Yogurtland later?" G-yan asked her. "I can't. I have

an orthodontist appointment after school. I'm getting

my braces off finally." Kristine explained. "Oh. That's

good news to hear." Suzy said. Kristine nodded.

"Hey dongseng, can I stop by at your house after your

appointment?" Alyce asked her. "Why?" Kristine asked.

"You'll see." Alyce said with a smile. Kristine shrugged.

"OKay Unni." She said. And they continued to walk down

the hallway around the corner.

Meanwhile, Jaejoong had seen the whole thing

as he was coming around the other corner. He felt down,

seeing how Kristine was completely charmed by GD.

He shrugged it off, and Changmin clapped him on the shoulder.

"It's cool hyung. She'll see GD's not all he's

cracked up to be." Changmin said to him encouragingly.

"What? I don't care." Jaejoong said gruffly. And walked

off to his next class. Changmin shrugged and walked to his

next class around the corner as well.

After Kristine had her braces removed, she went

home and expected Alyce to stop by. But she received

a text on her cellphone. She slid it open. It was from

Alyce. "Hey dongseng, I can't make it today. But wake up

early tomorrow okay? I'll be there at 6."-Alyce.

Kristine was confused, but shrugged. "Why did she have to

wake up early?" She wondered. She shrugged and did her

homework. Then she ate dinner with her family. And

then took a shower, then slipped into her pajamas and

drifted off to sleep. The following morning, she was woken

up by the sun shining on her face, as someone opened her

curtains in her room. "Ah. Wha?" She said, sleepily.

"Get up dongsaeng!" Alyce said to her. "What? Unni?

What are you doing here so early?" Kristine asked her.

Sitting up in her bed, and rubbing her eyes. "You didn't

get my text?" Alyce asked her as she opened Kristine's

closet and started pulling out different clothes and

placing it on Kristine's bed. And she had also brought

along, a curling iron, a flat iron, a blow dryer,

and makeup. "Yah unni what are you doing?" Kristine

said awake now. "Go eat breakfast quickly, then come

back up here." Alyce told her. "But Unni."

Kristine protested. "Please?" Alyce asked her. Kristine

sighed and went downstairs. And ate breakfast quickly,

then trudged up the stairs again. She brushed her teeth

and washed her face, then Alyce handed her an outfit

she had matched up for her. Kristine glanced at it.

She had given her a plaid skirt, and peep toe flats

and a simple white t-shirt on top, and a black vest

over it. "Unni, why are you doing this?" Kristine

asked her. Alyce smiled. "You got your braces off.

Time for makeover. But of course you're still pretty

without it." Alyce added. Kristine sighed and

changed into the outfit in the bathroom, then came back

out. She was directed to sit down in her spinning desk

chair. Alyce started by combing out her hair. She

flat ironed Kristine's bangs, and clipped them back to one

side, then started curling the ends of her hair slightly,

and then sprayed hairspray, to let the style keep it's

hold. Kristine held in her breath, and then exhaled when

Alyce was done. Then Alyce gave her a natural, but

slightly smokey eye look, that brought out her brown

eyes, and just a light pink lipgloss. Then she

sprayed a spritze of Miss Dior Cherie perfume in the

air, and told Kristine to walk through it. She walked

through it. Then looked at herself in her full length

mirror. "OMO." She said, surprised at her reflection.

"Smile." Alyce said. Kristine smiled and saw her

now perfectly, straight teeth gleaming. "Wow unni."

Kristine said. "You like it?" Alyce asked her.

Kristine nodded. "Hey, can I get a ride to school?"

Alyce asked her. Kristine, laughed at her friend,

nodding. And they went to school together. She was slightly

nervous, about going in to school with her new look.

"Come on dongsaeng." Alyce said to her gently.

Kristine nodded, inhaling, then exhaling. Then

she got out of her car, locking it and Alyce

went in first, pushing the doors of their University

open. Kristine walked with her head high, as Alyce walked

beside her. People were whispering, and then they finally

recognized who she was. They were surprised. Jaejoong

and Changmin were coming around the corner, and saw Alyce

and Kristine and were surprised. "Hyung, isn't that Kristine?

Dang. She looks hot." Changmin said. "I'd prefer to say

beautiful. But she always was." Jaejoong said. Changmin

whistled low, at his friends remark. "Your really gone

for her havent' you hyung?" Changmin said. Jaejoong said

nothing. And then he watched in disappointment as he

saw GD walking down the opposite way of the hallway

that Kristine was and glancing at her, up and down, then

walking over to her. Kristine froze. Alyce quickly

scurried away. "Hey." GD said to her. "Hi."

Kristine said, softly. "Are you new here?" GD

asked her. Kristine shook her head. "Well I'm GD"

He said, shaking her hand. Kristine

nodded, and then let go of his hand. "He's finally

noticing me." She thought excitedly. "Walk you to

your class?" He offered. She nodded, and they walked down

the hallways together. Jaejoong looked on, and felt a

a pang of hurt. "Cheer up hyung. Just tell her how you

feel." Changmin said. "It's too late now. Jaejoong said

and turned around, walking down the hallway, dejected.

GD walked Kristine to her class. She

gave a little bow, thanking him and he asked her out

right before she went in. She was surprised. But smiled,

agreeing to go out with him, later that Friday night.

They exchanged numbers and she went into her class,

happily. She sat down at her desk, and saw Jaejoong

sitting at his seat, looking sad. She walked over to

him, and sat in front of him. "Hi oppa." She said

cheerfully. "Hey. You look nice." He said. She thanked

him. "You look down. What's wrong?" She asked him,

oblivious. "Nothing. Just tired." He lied. She nodded

in sympathy and went back to her seat at the front of

the classroom. Soon the bell rang, and the rest of the

class came in, and their teacher came in as well,

starting the lecture. Even though Jaejoong was still

down, he was still entranced at the way, Kristine's

long black hair shined brightly, as the sun poured into

the classroom, and reflected off her hair, almost like

a halo effect. He shook his head and focused on the

teacher's lecture.

Later on that day, during lunch. Changmin, Alyce,

Jaejoong, Suzy, G-yan, Junsu, and Gretchen

all sat at a round table, eating at one of the cafe's

on their school's campus. "Hey Kristine-ah, wanna

go with me, Alyce, G-yan and Gretchen to get

manicures later?" SUzy asked her. "Oh, sorry I'm

going out with GD-shi later." Kristine said.

At the mention of this, Jaejoong stopped eating and pulled

his chair back, it squeaked against the tile floor, and

he got up and walked out of the cafe. Kristine and the

rest of the girls were surprised at this.

"What's wrong with oppa?" Kristine asked Changmin.

Changmin didn't want to meddle and merely said. "I don't know

but I should go talk to him." Changmin said and took his

sandwhich and Jaejoong's with him, leaving the cafe,

since they had paid for their food already.

Kristine was worried but then the girls all asked her

about how it all happened. After she recounted her

story, the girls had a few comments. "But dongsaeng, wasn't

it just yesterday he laughed when you hit your face in

the locker?" G-yan asked her. Alyce nodded and added.

"Yeah, and now that Alyce gave you a makeover,

he comes waltzing in and asks you out only now?"

"And he didn't even recognize you and asked if you

were new here." Gretchen added. Kristine sighed.

"Look I know, but maybe he's different. Well, I gotta

go. See you guys tomorrow. Just call me." She said and

got up, throwing her leftovers in the trash and leaving

the cafe. Her friends all shook their head, worried for

her.

Later that night, GD picked her up in his

silver sports car. She kept her hair and makeup the same,

and wore a black shift dress and flats. He opened the door

for her, and then went back to the driver's seat. He placed

his hand on her left knee for a moment, and smiled at her.

She felt a little uncomfortable, but just smiled

at him lightly. Then he let go and put his hands

back on the steering wheel and drove off.

They ate dinner at a quaint little restaurant, and

everything seemed to be going well. Then he asked her

if she wanted to go to a party with him. She

was unsure, but he assured her they wouldn't be there

long. She agreed and they drove over to a friend's house.

When they got there, the front door was open, and music

was blasting, and people with beer where drinking out on

the front porch. Kristine was even more doubtful, but

GD smiled at her reassuringly and led her into the

house. He introduced her to a few of his friends and

then told her he wanted to show her something upstairs.

She was really against it, but he pleaded with her, and

so she followed him. They went to one of the vacant

rooms, and he closed the door behind him. She looked

around the room, a little bit of moonlight shone

into the room, leaving a shadow of the window pane

on the carpet floor. She wondered what he wanted to

show her, when he suddenly pressed his body closely

against her petite frame, and kissed her suddenly.

Kristine was taken aback and tried to push him away,

but he continued to kiss her lips and her neck, and

started to unzip the side of her dress. "N-No D-don't."

She said. "Shh. Come on." He whispered into her ear.

She finally gained some ground, and kicked hard square in

the groin area, and he crumpled down to the ground.

She opened the bedroom door quickly, and ran down the

stairs, zipping her dress back up as she went, then

ran out of the house. She wasn't really sure where she

was but just kept walking quickly, trying to keep

alert with her surroundings. She stopped for a moment

to catch her breath, and she was surprised at the

house, she had stopped at. It was Jaejoong's house. She

quickly walked up the front walkway, and rang the doorbell.

She was worried that she would wake up his family.

Jaejoong opened the door, his hair slightly messy and

he looked tired, but his eyes widened when he saw the

condition that she was in. "Kristine-ah. What happened?"

He asked her. Kristine burst into tears, and he just

held her to him, as she sobbed into his chest. She pulled

back after a little while, and he said gently. "Come in.

You'll catch a cold." He said. They went to the kitchen,

and sat down, as he made some coffee. "What happened?

Weren't you on your date with GD?" He asked her.

And handed her a mug of coffee. She thanked him,

blowing on it, then taking a small sip. Then she

started to explain. "I was, but then he started kissing

me, and I..it just didn't feel right, and so I kicked him,

and left." She explained. Jaejoong looked angered,

hearing that she was almost taken advantage of.

He got up from his seat. "I'm gonna kill him." He

said. Kristine held his arm, stopping him. "Oppa don't.

It's not worth it." She said, and he sat back down.

"He could've raped you dongsaeng. But are you okay?"

He asked her. She nodded. "Where's your mom and

dad? I thought I'd wake them." She asked. "They're

at my grandparent's house, since my haraboji's not

been well lately." He explained. "Oh." She said, feeling

sorry. "But HyoRi nuna's here, sleeping. I'm sure she

wouldn't mind if you wanted to stay." He said.

"Oh, are you sure? I don't want to wake her up." She said.

"I'm already awake." A deep, woman's voice said in the

doorway of the kitchen. A sleepy looking, attractive

woman in her mid twenties, stood there. "HyoRi unni!"

Kristine said happily, getting up from her seat, and

hugging her. "Kristine-ah, what happened to you?"

HyoRi asked her. Kristine sighed as she let go of

HyoRi. "it's a long story." Jaejoong said. HyoRi nodded.

"Come on. You can sleep in my room, like when we used

to have sleepovers." She said, with a warm smile.

Kristine smiled back. "Okay. goodnight oppa." She said

to Jaejoong. Jaejoong gave her a small smile and said

goodnight. She went up the stairs with HyoRi and went

to the bathroom, and washed off her makeup, then

she borrowed some pajamas and went to sleep

in the twin bed next to HyoRi's that served for

guests.

The following morning, Kristine woke up to the

sun, shining warmly on her face. She stretched and

yawned then slowly sat up in bed. She looked at the

time, next to HyoRi's nightstand. It was already 9 in

the morning. "OMO." She said, realizing she overslept.

"Kristine-ah." Jaejoong said, calling into the

room. "Ah, oppa wait, I don't have any makeup on!"

She said quickly, putting the pillow in front of her

face. Jaejoong went in anway. "Dongsaeng, since

when do you care if you have makeup? You're still

cute without it." He said. She put the pillow down,

looking at her friend's face. "Really?" She said.

He nodded with a warm smile, and she smiled

back. "Thanks oppa. But did HyoRi unni go out?"

She asked him. He nodded. "She went to work already."

He explained. She nodded. He sat down at the side of

the bed. She wanted to ask him something.

"Hey oppa?" She said. "Yeah?" He said, looking

at her. "How come you left all of a sudden

yesterday afternoon, when I said I was going out

with GD?" She asked him. Jaejoong sighed.

"You really want to know?" He asked her. She nodded.

"I..I was jealous. I've always liked you Kristine.

even before your whole makeover thing." He confessed.

Kristine blinked at him. "Really? You liked me

with my braces? And no makeup?" She asked him.

He nodded. "You were always beautiful to me, even

back then. but, I guess I always was just an oppa

to you." He told her. Then he looked down. Kristine

grabbed his face in her delicate hands, gently,

turning his face to look at her. She shook her head.

"Oppa. It's not like that. I was blind. You were always

there for me. I was fooled by GD, when he only

wanted one thing. He only noticed me after my

makeover. But you saw me, even before that. Will you

give me another chance?" She asked, looking at him.

He smiled and gently took her hands away from his

face, and held them in his own hands, and he leaned in

towards her face. She closed her eyes, and soon felt

his lips press against her own, softly. It wasn't

forced like GD, but gentle and sincere. She kissed

him, back and she leaned back against the pillows,

and after a few seconds, they abruptly broke apart.

She blinked up at him. "What?" She said, confused.

He took her hand and led her out of the bed, and

downstairs. "Oppa, what are you doing?" She asked

as they went to the kitchen to eat breakfast.

"Stopping it. Before you think I'm like GD."

He said. Kristine laughed and she helped him make

breakfast.
