Finally she gave up and
messed her bag wildly to searched that damn phone
before she, herself that screaming hysterically on
the street.
“Helloo!” she wanted to mad but her voice sounded
desperate.
Not hearing an answer from there. Is this person
mute or what?
“Hello, who is this? Speak please… hello? HELLO!”
Kibum just wanted to dissconect when she heard a
man voice that sound uncertain.
“Sorry, isn’t it Choi Siwon’s phone?”
Who the hell this person?
“You’re wrong number. This is Kim Kibum’s phone,”
said Kibum curt and close her phone hardly.
Kibum faced her phone while bitted her lips full of
madness. “Can’t you let me relax for a minute?” she
willing to take the battery out when she felt she
should called her mother that she told her she will
went home. even though Kibum lived in Seoul and
her parent in Jakarta , they often called each other
and check their condition. Last time, her mother
already called why she don’t arrive in home yet.
She open her phone again and press 1 that connect
to her parent’s home in Jakarta (capital city of
Indonesia) directly, but she wondered why when
she saw the text contained on her screen after she
pressed the number. It’s not “Home…” that can be
seen as usual, but “ Kim Youngwon ”. Kibum
disconnect the connection directly.
She looked at her phone that she held. The phone
it’s belong to her, at least the size and colour very
similar to her phone. She open the contact list in her
phone and she jaws dropped saw the names that
she didn’t knew. Her brain already tired to forced to
think.
In the shop, all of her things messed on the cashier
table, included her phone.
When the man’s phone that stand at her back that
ringing for the first time , she thought it’s her phone
that ringing because they had the same ring tone.
Then the second phone of that man ringing. He put
his first phone and pull out the second phone. So on
the cashier table there were two phones, those her
and him.
Kibum remembered the phone size that he put on
the cashier table same with her phone. Before out
from the shop, he turned for took his first phone that
left on the table. Now she held a phone contact list
that she didn’t know.
Her brain began to process what’s going on. It’s
mean… it’s mean… He took the wrong phone. The
man took Kibum’s phone.
She hitted her chest and groaning desperately.
“How? I’m going crazy. Crazy!.” she looked to right
and left. The man’s car can’t be seen. She felt her
body almost collapse to the ground. She felt she
wanted to cried. Where she search that man?
Suddenly an idea came to her brain that almost
paralyzed. Her phone with the man right? It’s mean
Kibum can called to her phone and the man could
answered. A little energy was back. She called her
number used the phone that she held.
She walked back on forth in the edge of the street
confusedly while wait for connection. “Quick
answer… quick answe… Qu-Hello?”

“Oh, hyung why so long?”
Kim Youngwon smile apologized to a tall man that
opened the door, then stepped enter that he often
visited.
“Sorry, kinda traffic,” he said while walked to sofa.
“Hei, Choi Siwon. Do you have snacks? I bought
water.”
Choi Siwon followed Kim Youngwon to sofa. He
ignored his friend question and asked back, “Hyung,
had you read the gossip?”
Kim Youngwon looked his friend that throw himself
on the sofa. His eyes look dreamy and anxious. As
a Choi Siwon’s manager, Kim Young Woon
understand his his worriedness.
“Where the gossip from?” asked Choi Siwon more
like talked to himself.
Kim Young Woon smiled a little and gave him a
bottle of soju.
Choi Siwon open the flap bottle and drink it. “They
said I’m a gay.” Siwon laughed bitterly. “How could
they think like that? I’m a act like a women? Or I’ve
been too close to men? Tell me, hyung. Or all this
time you have the same opinion like them?”
Kim Young Woon sat on the sofa in front of Siwon,
join gulp the soju with him. “You know I never think
like that ,” he said calmly.
“The problem is magazines like to searching news.
You also know that they write uncommon things.
You ask me why they think you’re gay? Maybe all
this time you never close with any women in front
of public.”
Choi Siwon shrugged his shoulder. “If like that,
whatever they want to think. If we don’t respond,
they will calm.”
Young Woon shook his head. “Two weeks later your
album will be released. I’m afraid this rumour will be
affect to your album sales. A gossip will create
another gossip. Even old problems will be raised.
Your producer won’t be happy. Plus, what about
your fans? What they think? You will lost market.”
Choi Siwon looked up at the ceiling and sighed
heavily. “So how?”
Kim Young Woon took another gulp and said, “about
the gay gossip, I think this is the right time to
announce your girlfriend to public.”
Choi Siwon’s head turned really fast to Young Woon.
“WHAT?”
“It’s simple. Why don’t you start a date?” suggest
Young Woon.
“What?”
Kim Young Woon didn’t looked at Choi Siwon and
spoke with a serious tone. “ The important thing
don’t date with an artist. It can be scandal. Too risk.
We can’t make an official announcement to
reporters that you have relationship with a woman
because they can suspect that you just acting to
denied from gossip gay.”
Kim Young Woon frowned and deep in thought.
Finally he turned his head and found Siwon waited
for his result.
“Okay,” he said while smiled. “Just pretend that
actually you have a girlfriend but your girlfriend
don’t wanna exposed, so you have to conceal your
relationship. So, no one knows who’s that girl and
no one ever see her.”
Siwon frowned because he was confused. “Nobody
ever see and nobody ever know. What is that for?
Nobody will believes if just words.”
“But we can give the proof.”
“What proof?”
“Your photo with her.”
“Which woman?”
“The woman that be your girlfriend.”
“Which girlfriend?”
“Everything will be set if you want.”
“What do you mean?”
Kim Young Woon’s smile getting wider. “We search
a woman that nobody even know and ask her to be
your girlfriend for a while. You just have to show
her in front of reporters. Easy right?”
Choi Siwon in deep thought, then said. “What if
reporters investigate her origin? And where we can
find a woman that want and can be trust to
cooperated with us? Random chosen?”
Kim Young Woon drank his soju again and looked at
Choi Siwon. Seem like he in deep thought with a
very worried expression. His brow furrowed,
sometimes he bitted his lower lip.
After a while, , Siwon sighed and continued, “What
kind of woman that we want to choose? May I
choose by myself? Or we choose a first woman that
through the door?” he pointed his door house with
his chin.
Kim Young Woon’s laughter was exploded. Siwon
loked at him with a confused look.
“Hyung, what’s wrong?”
Kim Young Woon pushed Siwon’s shoulder lightly.
“God, Siwon! I’m just kidding. Why you being so
serious?”
“What?”
Kim Young Woon shook his head. “I’m just kidding
about that suggestion. Just never mind. We will find
the way out.”
Siwon snorted and then laugh a little. “Ah, confused!
I wanna go out take a little walk. Hyung, wanna
join?” Siwon said while laid his back at the sofa and
stared at the ceiling.
Kim Young Woon shrugged. “Okay.”
Choi Siwon swung his soju bottle that he held, and
asked, “Oh, hyung. Had you fix my phone?”
Kim Young Woon pull out the phone and handed it to
Siwon. Suddenly he remembered the called that he
received in the way to Siwon’s house. A woman
that admin her name Kim is Kibum said that her
phone mixed up. Because he couldn’t took it he
asked that woman to came to Siwon’s house.
Maybe his request a little too much because their
phones mixed up not her fault, but what could they
do?
Now Siwon is grumping and when he grumping, he
can’t wait any longer.
He wanted to told Siwon about this story when he
heard the bell door rang.
“Who come at this night?” Siwon murmured.
Kibum really couldn’t understood why this day she
was so unlucky. Maybe when she get home she
should took a bath with seven different flowers that
her mum teach her, everything for flushed her bad
luck.
Now she standing in front of white big house. The
man that said his name was Kim Young Woon told
her to came her for took their phones that mixed up.
She was angry. Why should she the one that came?
Isn’t that man took the wrong phone first? She even
have to borrow money from the ahjumma so she
can took a bus, plus she had to walked to reach this
elite housing.
Kibum sighed again. That okay, it’s all right. The
most important thing was, she get her phone back.
Then she would be home quickly. It was getting late
and she already yawned four times on the last
fifteen minutes.
The door opened and she recognized his face. It
was the man in the shop. Even it’s hard, she forced
a polite smiled. Her cheeks somewhat stiffed, but
she hoped her smile normal enough.
“How are you? I’m Kim Kibum that called you last
time. I want to return your phone. This.” she gave
handed her hand that held the phone.
“Oh, thank you very much,” said the friendly. “I’m
really sorry for bothering you. Let’s get it. Your
phone inside.”
Actually Kibum knew she couldn’t enter a man
house that she didn’t knew, moreover it was so late.
But her brain couldn’t used as it should and she
only wanted to solve the problem so she could went
home and slept. But the man seem so nice.
Kibum enter the house and let herself brought in the
living room with very expensive things. In the long
sofa that dominate that room, sat a man that now
talked in the phone. His face was handsome, his
hair style short and neat, even she didn’t like blonde
hair. She thought she ever saw that man, but
where?
“Maybe, you’re wrong number,” Kibum heard the
man talked in the phone. “There’s no one named
Kim Kibum here.”
Kibum stared at Young Woon with a question look
while pointed the phone the he held.
“Yes, it’s your phone,” said Young Woon smiled a
little.
The man that sat on the sofa still busy with himself,
don’t realized Kibum appearance. His forehead
wrinkly angrily. He said in piss off tone “I;m sorry
Lee HyukJae-ssi, I’m really don’t know you. Also I
don’t know Kim Kibum. How could I ask her to
answer the phone. You gotta wrong number.”
After said that the man closed the phone flap hardly.
“Weird people,” he said.
“Hei! That phone belong to this lady.”
The man turned to Young Woon, then to Kibum.
When their eyes met, Kibum knew who is that man.
Choi Siwon kinda confused with Yong Woon
explanation. His gaze changed to his manager then
to a woman in front of him and to his manager
again. At a glance, he observed the stranger that
now in his living room: a woman with a small body
with pigtails and her hand hold a big plastic bag and
hand bag. Her face looked dull, tired and pale. The
woman didn’t speak while Kim Young Woon
explained what happen.
“Oh, so this is your phone?” asked Siwon then stood
up from sofa. He handed a phone that he held.
Suddenly the phone was ringing and Siwon
shocked. “Let’s answer,” he said quickly.
Kibum took the phone and opened the flap and said,
“Hello?”
Then Siwon and Young Woon confused that Kibum
spoke in another language. He sure that girl didn’t
talk with Japanese or English because he
understood that language. Don’t know what
language that she used, she seemed really fluent.
Siwon looked at his manager and Young Woon
shook his head as the answer.
The conversation not long enough. After end the
call, she looked to Siwon and Young Woon with
awry look. “Thank you so much, I will go home.”
“Wait,” said Young Woon. He took a glance at Siwon,
the looked at Kibum. “What language that you
talking?”
“It’s Indonesian language,” she said directly.
“Excuse me,” she said again and walked out.
“Hold on!” Kim Young Woon held her again. He
looked at Siwon and to this girlagain. “You come
here don’t bring a car right? What about we take
you home. We feel bad because you already give
us his phone.”
“It’s okay. I can take a bus.”
“We can take you to bus stop.” Siwon said. He
thought this woman can’t go home alone by looked
at her condition. This girl
can be pass out anytime
soon. “Just take it as thank you from us.”
Kibum looked at them. Her face looked confused.
Her brain thought now, search a way to refuse this
offered. Siwon could understand. A girl that agree
with strangers offer of course they are not good girl.
“Don’t worry, we won’t do anything. Trust us,” said
Siwon with wide smiled, but it didn’t sound made
sure.
“Oh no. I don’t mean that,” Kibum said while shook
her hands again.
“Come on! We take you to bus stop!” said Siwon
while took his manager key car that placed on the
table. He looked at Young Woon. “Hyung, we use
your car okay?”
Along the way, Kibum just keep quit. She just
answered the questions necessary. Siwon looked at
his manager that busy with drive the car then he
stole a glance at the back. That girl sat lay on and
looked out the window with a blank stares. Siwon wanted to
knew what made her seem so tired.
Suddenly she spoke, “I get out here.”
“You sure?” asked Kangin.
“Yeah, that’s okay. Good night!”
When that girl bowed, , Kim Yong Woon asked “Kim
Kibum-ssi, may I ask you something? Do you know
who my friend is?”
“This person? Choi Siwon? A singer?” then as she
just realized
something, she looked at Sibum and
then said, “Your songs… your songs… are good.”
