I don't see joy I see pain

min yang walked out of the college gates,her eyes sparkling and a goofy smile glued to her lips.

She kept whispering to herself,

" His Jawline....Uff....was carved by angels. Those eyes ? They've seen galaxies!

Her best friend Liza watched her quietly, then snapped,

"Will you STOP smiling like a manic?

People will think I give you expired noodle again!"

They both burst into laughter,

Then it begin,

" my idol Adine

Min giggle louder,

"you won't understand,Liza He was like a k-drama hero dropped straight from heaven,"

Liza rolled her eyes," Great, another Fantasy boyfriends what's his name this time? Prince Spaghetti hair?"

Min he's not Spaghetti, his hair flows like poetry!

Liza laughed,"Girl, you need therapy, or maybe Wi-Fi, so you can download a real boyfriend,"

They burst into laughter,

Then it began,

" my idol can cook, dance,and sings like an angel,min braggerd.

"Ha! Mine can ride a bike, punch bad guys, AND fix a leaking pipe, Beat that!"

 Liza Smirked.

Min crossed her arms, " can your idol smile and cause a global heart attack?"

Can yours fix a power cut during exam week?"

Liza raised an eyebrow,

People around started staring.

A boy whispered," Are they okay? "

Another girl replied, " Nope.they're infected

.........with. Crush fever"

The girls kept laughing . Totally unaware,

Because in their world... love was silly, sweet, and slightly insane

Liza clutched her Stomach," Ugh, STOP it !

My cheeks hurt from laughing,"

Min twirled dramatically, " that's the power of love , baby ! "

 They both Sat on the Campus bench, Still giggling.

Suddenly, a shiny black car slowed down in front of them.

Min's smile faded, her heart skipped.

Through the tinted window ..... She saw him

Aiden.

Leaning back in hIs seat, One hand on the Wheel Wearing that expressionless Model face.

Liza noticed too..isn't that..."

"YESE !".... Min whisper ... Screamed, "that's HIM.

My dream boy .... Aiden!"

The car didn't stop, it moved ahead slowly....

But for a brief Second, Aiden's eyes met min's.

As Aiden's car disappeared down the road, min's heart was still racing.

She turned to Liza, breathless.

"He looked at me, Did you see that? He actually looked at me!"

Liza grinned," Girl, I thought you were about to faint!"

Min laughed, covering her face," I think I did a little inside,"

Both walked home giggling like kids.

That one moment had lit up their entire day.

Later, while Sipping cold mango juice on the rooftop, Liza asked,

" By the way ...you know Aiden's a new idol, right? He just debuted last year. People are going Crazy over him,"

Min nodded with a soft smile. "Yeah.it's a good thing, right? I mean... He deserves it."

She looked up at the sky, her Voice turning Thoughtful.

"I feel like he's worked really hard to get where he is. There's Something sincere about him... Something kind. That's why I like him..."

Liza noticed her tone shift and sat quietly.

"..... But I don't know why," min Continued,

" When I look into his eyes... I don't see joy.

I see pain."

Min nodded slowly," it's like…he's not truly happy being an idol. Like he's carrying something heavy inside."

She looked down at her juice, whispering.

" Everyone sees him smile, but no one sees the sadness behind it,"

Aiden.

Sat in his car, staring at nothing
