After ANJELL's latest concert, Tae Kyung and Mi Nyeo went out on the terrace to watch the beautiful night sky.

'I'm sure there are a lot of stars in Africa as well.', Mi Nyeo gazed at the stars, twinkling above her like diamonds.

'Do you have to go?', Tae Kyung asked seemingly indifferent.

She smiled: 'I will go and come back soon. Please wait for me here!'

'You've become self-confident!', he remarked. 'Aren't you worried about leaving the brightest star in the sky?'

'Well, it's not like I can take you with me.', she looked at him with a trace of resignation in her eyes.

The leader of ANJELL made his inherent 'We'll see that' mouth grimace, before hauling something as if from the air. A beautiful necklace with two stars sparkled in the background of the moonlight in front of her eyes.

'Wear this on your neck!', he put the symbolical bijou in her hands to remind her of him wherever she is.

Mi Nyeo's eyes glistened with happiness and a tender loving smile rose on her lips. She looked at him again.

'It's a star!', she exclaimed out of admiration. 'You even plucked the stars from the sky. You've really changed.' A smug grin bloomed on her face. 'Do you like me so much hat you even plucked stars from the sky for me?'

'Your self-confidence is growing even more! If you're going to behave this way, give it back to me!', he frowned.

'No way. It's mine already.', she clenched her hands, holding the precious star necklace tightly to herself.

'There're a lot of diamonds in Africa, aren't they more beautiful? Give it back to me!', Tae Kyung feigned angry.

'I can't do such a thing. I don't have the ability.'

'Then appreciate what you have when you got it. Oh, did you see that?', he pointed at the sky, pulling her closer.

'I won't ever let go of the star that I caught with so much difficulty.'

'Right. Never let it go. I'll shine only for you.'

That night all of the ANJELL members were too excited. While Jeremy was scanning the rooms on the second floor for the missing, Mi Nam burst into Tae Kyung's room with a bang only to see his sister wasn't there either.

'Sis, where are you? Mi Nyeo?' The male twin desperately tried to call her but again, no answer on the phone.

Entering the room Mi Nyeo used to live in before her brother came from America, Jeremy heard loud snoring.

'Aigooo! Snail, you're already back? Where are the others? I have fallen asleep and didn't hear you coming…', aunt Mi Ja gave out a languorous yawn as she got out of the bed, scrubbing her eyes. 'How was the concert?'

'Ah, sorry aunt! I didn't want to wake you up.', he stepped back. 'I'm looking for Mi Nyeo and Tae Kyung hyung.'

'What? My niece is with Leader? But shouldn't she be flying to Africa right now?', her eyes almost bounced out.

'Yes, she should but fortunately hyung managed to stop her. He hugged her in front of 15 000 fans and said…'

'Still nothing?', Go Mi Nam encroached into his aunt's present room desperate and panting out of breath.

'Nothing. Their phones are off.', Jeremy crossed his arms hopelessly.

{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}

Meantime on the terrace, while laughing, Tae Kyung and Mi Nyeo heard someone shout in Tae Kyung's room behind. He pulled her away and touched her lips, making a sign to keep quiet. She nodded agreeably.

For a few dead seconds they stood still, embosomed into each other closely, waiting for the voice to melt away. 'Hyungnim, it must have been Jeremy. On the way home he was talking about throwing a party tonight…'

'Pigrabbit, how couldn't you recognize your own voice? It wasn't Jeremy, it was your brother. Tch, I'm sure that jealous fool won't leave us alone even for a minute from now on. Anyways, do you feel like partying tonight?'

'N-not exactly. I had a lot of things to do today and feel so tired… ', Mi Nyeo hid her excitement behind a yawn.

'Really?', the angel's eyes sparkled with demonic glitter as if this was exactly the answer he was hoping to hear.

As he let loose of his grasp around her waist and grabbed her hand to lead her off to another place, she tentatively pulled away. 'Hyungnim, where are we going? You know they'll make us stay and join the party with them.'

Tae Kyung gave out a weary sigh. 'Why do you always tend to complicate everything, providing that the solution you're searching for is as obvious as the stars and not farther than your fingertips? They just won't see us.'

'B-but how? We can't reach the exit without passing through the yard.', Mi Nyeo scratched her head unaware.

Setting foot on the verge of the balcony with her hand clasped in his, he whispered. 'Pigrabbit, can you fly?'

{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}

After they examined every single nook on the upper floor of the house, thoroughly lost out to distress and frustration, Go Mi Nam and Jeremy resorted down to the kitchen where Shin Woo was sitting, drinking his tea.

'Hyung, have you seen Mi Nyeo and Tae Kyung hyung after the concert?', Jeremy's eyes narrowed with concern.

Calm and sober-minded as always, the voice of reason left his cup on the table. 'No, why? Are they missing?'

A pause of displeasing silence instilled, followed by the grinding sound of porcelain breaking into pieces. All the flabbergasted gazes tipped over towards Go Mi Nam, who was propping up his trembling hands against the wall.

'Mi Nam-ah, what's wrong? Tell us what bothers you!', Shin Woo patted his shoulder to smooth him down.

'I see she didn't miss me at all during all that time I spent in the American hospital! When I returned last week, she didn't even come to the airport to meet me, neither did she call to ask whether everything has ranged properly after I took her place. Today she came to the concert just to see him for the last time before catching the plane. Why is all that hustle about? We haven't even talked yet. And now what – she's not here. What has that guy done to her? Why didn't she want to spend some time with me before leaving for Africa but a few corny words from his mouth are enough to shoot her over the clouds with happiness? She wasn't like this before. It's not my sister!'

Shin Woo and Jeremy exchanged secret glances, unable to say anything. Although they realized he was right to feel disregarded by the most important person in his life – his only family, what they wanted most was to see Mi Nyeo's smile finally replace her tears and they fairly well knew who was the only one able to achieve this.

'Aigo, my foot!', aunt Mi Ja gave a cry out of pain as she stepped on a piece of glass in the middle of the room.

'Aunt, are you alright?', Jeremy helped her sit, while Shin Woo prepared a bandage and disinfectant liquid.

'What's going on, boys?', she moaned. 'What was that clamor a while ago and why is this cup on the floor?'

'B-because… because…', Jeremy stuttered like a student being coerced to retell a lesson he hasn't learned.

'Mi Nam accidentally pushed down a cup from the table and it broke into pieces.', Shin Woo explained calmly.

'Aigo, Mi Nam-ah! Are you hurt, dear?', she leaned on her elbows trying to get up, but Shin Woo stopped her.

'Aunt, you're hurt! Stay here and try not to move until I disinfect and bind your feet, will you?'

'But Mi Nam-ah…', aunt Mi Ja yelled at the back of her nephew as he wended his way upstairs to his room.

'Don't worry, aunt! He's fine – just a bit tired after the concert and needs some rest.', Jeremy consoled her.

The voice of reason smiled in a knowing manner like a sage philosopher. 'Yes, tomorrow everyone will be ok.'

'And what about Mi Nyeo and Lieder? Did you find them?'

'Ah, not yet. Perhaps they've gone out for a walk and will be back soon.', Jeremy tried to convince himself.

'My niece is outside with Leader so late at night? Aigooo, what a stupid girl! She has no idea how men act in order to get what they want. What if he takes her in a hotel and...?', aunt Mi Ja slapped her forehead in fidget.

'Don't worry, aunt! Tae Kyung wouldn't do that. It's ready, you can go to sleep now.', Shin Woo soothed her.

'Aigooo, these youngsters… Then I'm going to have a nap too. Kang Shin Woo, thank you for the care, you're always so attentive! If only my niece… never mind. Good night, boys!', aunt Mi Ja left the kitchen limping.

'Hyung, do you think Mi Nam is right to be mad at Mi Nyeo? How come she doesn't want to see and speak to her own brother? Didn't she miss him? She's been waiting for him so eagerly but now… No, no… My head is like a rotten orange! I'm such a horrible person to come up with these thoughts!', Jeremy pointed at himself.

Shin Woo took a sip of tea. 'I'm sure she does miss him but she must clear up some things with Tae Kyung...'

'I thought he doesn't want to be with her as he threw out all her belongings, including the plushy pigrabbit…'

'I don't think so. Love is quite a complicated matter. If you say you don't want to see someone, it does not necessarily means that you really mean it. They have had a kind of quarrel and now they have to set things right.'

'W-what quarrel?', Jeremy took a bite of his apple bewildered.

'Well, I don't know exactly. I heard something about Tae Kyung's mother but I have no idea what it was about.'

'Hyung's mother? Hmm, that's strange. He has never talked about her…'

{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}

Tae Kyung carefully guided Mi Nyeo across the handrail outside of the terrace and shot himself 2 meters down.

'What are you waiting for? Come on, jump!', he unfolded his arms to catch her.

'It looks dangerous!', she shouted against the wind that was waving her hair. 'My legs are not as long as yours!'

'What's with your self-confidence now, huh? It seems to have disappeared. Come on – you're always so determined, so bold… you even used to be a man for a whole month! Besides, we've already practiced such a jump.'

'…which did not end up quite well, if you have forgotten!', Mi Nyeo lipped her star necklace to charge with courage, uttering a short prayer before she closed her eyes and leaped down, finding herself straight into her savior's embrace.

A waft of delight flushed both of them as they stared into each other's eyes for the first time after a week that seemed like ages. At once they forgot why they had to back away from one another – it was insignificant in comparison to their feelings now. Their warm breaths made them insusceptible to the cold night air.

'I missed you so much and thought you will leave me forever. Thank you for coming back to me!', Tae Kyung impulsively aimed at her cozy lips, as he let the desire he had cherished for so long outflow into her being.

At this moment, as if in a secret agreement, the stars shined brighter on the sky and the chill winter storm grew quiet to celebrate the felicity of two souls merging back together in a passionate kiss. And then at the background of the speechless night the only sound that could be heard was the beating of their turbulent hearts.

'Pigrabbit, your heart is going to pop out of you at any moment!', he freed her from his hold to take a breath.

'No, I'm alright. It's because... I was afraid of jumping from so high.', her face blushed. 'But where are we going?'

'You'll see…', Tae Kyung captured her teeny hand tightly in his to make sure he won't lose her in the darkness.

After they exited the house, a large obscure figure bumped into him at the door, followed by a smaller one.

'Who is there? Mi Nyeo, do you see anything?', Tae Kyung searched for his phone panic-stricken.

'Take it easy, it's us – manager Ma and coordinator Wang. We had some urgent work and left shortly after the concert began. But did you just say Mi Nyeo? I thought she's in Africa already.', the manager gasped in shock.

'I'm here, manager Ma. I decided to stay a few more days.'

'A few days? No, you can't leave now! I can rely only on you, sister! You can't leave me alone with this burden...'
