p class="MsoNormal"Stone Heart. Getting her to agree./p
p class="MsoNormal""Come on Chae Lin ah! I got some leave days to finish up, and I have not been to JeJu lsland before," whined Kim Ji Min, Chae Lin best friend that she will not trade anything else for. /p
p class="MsoNormal"Kim Ji Min has been Chae Lin best friend since they were four years old. She can see through Chae Lin even without Chae Lin telling her anything. She is another person that Chae Lin will go to when she need someone to talk to or ask for advice. She was there for Chae Lin when she lost her parents to a car accident./p
p class="MsoNormal"Ji min knows so many things about Chae Lin; knows that Chae Lin is missing her parent badly, knows that deep inside Chae Lin still loves Hyunsik; her first love. However, due to Hyunsik is now a well-known and loved by many, it is hard for her. Being a KPOP lover, she acknowledged that being in a relationship with an idol is like throwing yourself into boiling soup. Many pairs of eyes will be on you. Not many relationships last. But she wants her best friend to see that BTOB's real Melodies are supportive of their relationship. It was those crazy fans that try to hurt her in possible way they can. She wants her best friend to see that she is accepted to the big family and that she wasn't making this up. Ji Min is a Melody herself, she attends those Melodies meetings and she heard all these things. She wished Chae Lin could hear it too./p
p class="MsoNormal"While Ji Min is pouting and try to get to agree to the trip, Chae Lin can see the hidden agendas behind Ji had. Her best friend is a BTOB Melody; she adores all of them especially Eunkwang. Who wouldn't? He is funny and friendly but able to be serious when situation needs him too. So, one of the agenda is that she wants to see Eunkwang and be his friend and two, she and Hyunsik has been contacting each other and asking each other for help. They were once classmates too./p
p class="MsoNormal""Look, there are many other places we can go" said Chae Lin in her stern voice. The stern voice is enough for Ji Min gets the meaning. "Alright" said Ji Min in a sad tone. Chae Lin looks at her best friend. "Stop doing that pity face. Come on." Said Chae Lin as she tries to cheer Ji Min up. "You are the only person that can help me get close to Eunkwang shi" continued Ji Min in her sad voice. "If you really want, I can arrange a meeting for both of you" replied Chae Lin. "That is not what I want. He will thinks that I am those crazy-act-normal fan" continued Ji Min. "And… how long you want to keep running away from him. From them… Melodies is the nicest fan base ever, even now they looking for you. They send him and you well wished. I am sure all of them wants to apologise to you." said Ji Min in her normal but strong voice./p
p class="MsoNormal"Chae Lin just kept quiet. She knows whatever Ji Min has said is true. Melodies are sweetest fans she ever heard of. She had attended a few of BTOB fan meetings. They were welcoming and cheering for her. They gave her food, traditional medications and letters of encouragement which she kept with her always. She remembered seeing a banner saying "We can be your friend/family too Chae Lin ah!" All those sweet little things that Melodies did, cheered her during her down time, especially when everyone were cold towards her; that includes BTOB themselves./p
p class="MsoNormal"However she can never forget the few incidents that happened to her. One of them managed to come near her and slash her wrist, poisoned her food and almost threw an acidic solution towards her (she was lucky that one of the managers saw and called the police, that is when the police found out the real culprit to Joy's incident). From then, she did not dare to walk out alone at night or be near BTOB./p
p class="MsoNormal""Ok. Let me think about this alright? I get back to soon" continued Chae Lin. As soon as she finished her sentence, she can see her best friend's eyes lighted up. "I hope to hear good news! Don't ever you disappoint me!" exclaimed Ji Min. Chae Lin let out a small chuckles. She can see her best friend getting excited seeing her favourite guy soon. She is feeling jittery but not in the same way. The heartaches she feels whenever she is reminded about his status and him keeping quiet when people around him ask about her. She knows, she is no one to him./p
