A K-pop Idol 74.2

"This is about Byun Sehun, isn't it?" Ye-rin said.

"What do you mean?" Kim Hana asked. 

"Hmm..." The little girl murmured, as if she was wondering if she really should say that. "The reason why you are sad today. You said you aren't, but I know you, Kim Hana-unnie. Even before you start visiting me... Remember that I have been stanning you for a long time! You’re my ultimate bias and I love you! I want to see you happy!"

Kim Hana couldn't help but once again her eyes were full of tears. That girl's love was so pure and sincere. If only adults could be like that... 

"Fine, Ye-rin, you're right. I'm a little sad today. But what makes you think this is about Byun Sehun?"

"Well, in TV dramas when women are sad like that this is because of their boyfriends." 

"Ah! I see" Kim Hana smiled. “Real life isn't always like TV Dramas, though...  But in this case… Yeah, you’re right again. Byun Sehun did something that hurt me, and I'm sad because of that." 

Kim Hana didn't know why she had told this to the girl, and she felt bad for doing so. That girl was seriously ill, and Kim Hana shouldn't be bothering her with her problems. Still, something inside her said that this was the right thing to do. Ye-rin was always so honest that she deserved to know the truth. 

The little girl didn't say anything. Instead, she hugged Kim Hana tightly. "That's okay" she said. “Sometimes when I'm sad, I don't want to talk about it. I just like to be cuddled by my mom. I know you don't have mom anymore, so I'll do that for you.”

"You're such a sweet and special girl, Ye-rin…" Kim Hana said, touched. 

When Kim Hana finally left the little girl's bedroom – about half an hour later – she saw Lee Si-won. The guy seemed a little embarrassed.  

"Umm... Sorry, but I was passing by, and I kind of heard you have some trouble... I... I'm sorry to know that." 

"Thanks, Lee Si-won." 

"You've been helping us so much... Is there anything I can do for you?" 

"Unfortunately I don't think so, but..." Kim Hana was still feeling very vulnerable, and started crying again. Lee Si-won touched her arm lightly to try to comfort her, but it wasn’t enough. Kim Hana threw herself into his arms and he, surprised and without a choice, hugged her. 

She didn't know why she was acting like that. Maybe it was because her period was coming and she was sensitive those days. 

"Umm... Would you like to... you know... talk about what's wrong?" he asked.

And then, before she could control herself, Kim Hana told him everything that Byun Sehun had done. 

"I can't believe it!" Lee Si-won exclaimed, very angry. “This guy isn't a real man! I would never do something like that if I were your boyfriend!"

"Are you saying that you wish you were my boyfriend?" Kim Hana asked softly. 

“W-what? No! I mean… I… I'm just saying that I wouldn't do this with a girlfriend… Whoever she would be… That’s all!”

“I see…” Kim Hana smiled. It was kind of amusing to see Lee Si-won so embarrassed. He looked cute this way, and she liked to tease him. 

"And what are you going to do now that you two broke up?" he asked. 

"Well, we haven't broken up yet... Not officially" 

“What?!”

She then explained all the complications involved. 

"This is so wrong!" he said. "Now do you see why I think this is a bad career? A girl..." 

"Please, don't start it all over again. You've been acting so nicely. Don't ruin it now."

“Fine!” he said, a bit reluctantly. 

Some time later, he walked her to the door. Outside, they hugged one last time, and Kim Hana thanked him for the support. 

She was feeling a bit better, but what she didn't know was that there was someone watching that scene very closely...
