author's note: This one's short and done on a whim hoping to clarify confusions. I tried my best to explain and make things as less disorienting or misleading as I could, but I'm still in a daze after seeing my dear JASON CASTRO shopping in Speedo and Nike last weekend and looking all shy and cute as fans screamed his name.
Now, I cannot seem to write another part. I might have lost all ideas when all those highschool fan girls and boys started screaming like mad when the dreadlock hottie took the stage. So, the next one might not be posted until after the Holy Week. I hope I get more inspiration to continue this while walking the streets of Bacolod. (Athena5914 and Chyme-isuroy sad ko ninyo sa Bacolod oi!!!)

2: "A man surprised is half beaten." - Thomas Fuller
Munhee was now staring at the flat screen television with Haneul.
"What do you think?" she asked the boy who has been unexpectedly helping her with her work.
"I like blue for Appa. It's my favorite color", he said in a very matter-of-factly tone.
"Yeah, I think so, too.", she agreed then took notes on her notebook.
The boy had been helping her by giving his opinions on SS501's outfits. The boy was no fashion guru, but he made sense, a lot of sense. It even made Haneul forget that he was the boy who suddenly popped up in her friend's apartment claiming Hyunjoong as his father.
She popped another CD labeled as 'formal suits for Hyunjoong' into the player. Soon, We Got Married scenes started to play on screen. It was during their 100th day photo shoot where Hyunjoong had to wear tuxedos.
Haneul started to focus again, and so did Munhee. He was watching the woman with his Appa. His eyes danced and giggled as the woman laughed and clapped her hands in delight.
"Pretty...", he whispered
"Yes, she is, isn't she?", Haneul had to agree as the TV showed scenes of Hwangbo in her wedding dress.
There were a few minutes of silence which prompted Haneul to concentrate on her work again.
"Is she my Omma?", Munhee pointed his finger towards the woman on screen.
Haneul was not paying attention and was lost in choosing between several fabrics. "Hmmm??", she asked without looking up.
"Her? In the dress? Is she my Omma?", Munhee asked again.
Haneul's mouth dropped as she saw who the boy was referring to. It was of course Hyunjoong's ex fake wife.
She pretended to be busy then looked at the fabrics again.
"Noona, is she my Omma?" the boy was persistent.
"Nooo...", she answered under her breath, suddenly confused what to do.
"Then, why is she married to Appa?", Munhee asked innocently.
Haneul looked around hoping to find answers somewhere, but nothing popped up inside her brain.
The shrilly sound of her cell phone ring tone broke the intense silence.
"Yes?", she answered the call.
"Ahhh.... Right now?"
"Yes, I'm coming Oppa!!", she stressed every word as she spoke on the phone.
She stared at the little boy who was still waiting for her answer and took a deep breath.
"Okay, we're going out. Let's hurry up" she told the boy, at the same time, praying Hyunjoong would not kill her for bringing Munhee there.

Munhee sat in one corner as Haneul worked on some of the zippers of the suits the double S boys were supposed to wear for their photo shoot.
"Noona, can I play outside?" the bored little boy asked. Haneul bobbed her head without listening to the child as she concentrated on the stuck zipper.
He stared at the busy people walking around carrying various things from cameras, to lights, to dresses when he saw someone who looked familiar.
"Omma..." he called out, but the woman did not hear him. "OMMMAAAA!!!", he shouted this time.
Haneul heard the boy's scream and rushed outside as Hwangbo passed them by.
Munhee's gaze followed the woman who walked in front of them.
