A Date to Remember?: Chapter 1 - A Birthday Celebration!


When the lights are on, Shin Hye saw Geun Suk and Hong Ki holding the cake while singing Happy Birthday. Behind them are Hee Chul, Hong Ki’s Ft Island band mates, Yong Hwa’s CN Blue band mates, Eun Jun, Minami Shineyo and Heartstrings casts, and other celebrity and non celebrity friends of Shin Hye.

Shin Hye: You know this? (She looks at Yong Hwa)

Yong Hwa: Mianhe. It won’t be a surprise anymore if I told you.

Shin Hye smile to assure Yong Hwa that she understands him.


Yong Hwa leads Shin Hye near the piano where all the guests are standing while waiting for them. When they reach there, Yong Hwa stands beside Hong Ki and they all shout…
“Sangil-chuka-hamnida, Shin Hye!”

Shin Hye blows the candle and thank them.

Shin Hye: Gomawo. (She bow and was teary-eyed with their surprise)

Hong Ki noticed it so he teases her.

Hong Ki: Why are you teary-eyed? Do you regret now of not choosing me?

Shin Hye: Mwo? Yah! Hong Star. (She hits him)

Hong Ki: Yah! It doesn’t mean because it’s your birthday you can hit me anytime.

Shin Hye: Chincha? Mianhe.

Hong Ki: Gotcha! Kekeke. (He smile like Jeremy)


Shin Hye: Hong Star! (She hits him again)

Geun Suk and Yong Hwa who are beside them can help but smile with the childishness of the two.


Geun Suk: You two are like kids.

Hong Ki: Chincha? Well Hyung, because we are still young and we just act like our age. Are you going to act as our Hyung again?

Geun Suk: Are you implying that I am old already?

Hong Ki: Aniyo! It was you who said that?

Geun Suk: Aissh! (Pouting like Tae Kyung)


Yong Hwa stand in between them (like how the diplomatic Shin Woo) and took the cake from Geun Suk.


Yong Hwa: Hyung, Hong Ki is just joking. You all know that he is like that.

He was about to give the cake to Shin Hye when she noticed that she is smiling looking at them.

Yong Hwa: Shin Hye-ah, why are you smiling?

The two guys noticed it too.

Geun Suk: Are you laughing at us?

Hong Ki: Yah! What’s funny?

Shin Hye: Mianhe. While looking at your conversation, I noticed that it’s like I’m watching Minami Shineyo. If you didn’t realize, you are all acting like your character there.

Then the three guys laugh which make Shin Hye confused.



Shin Hye: Yah! (She puts the cake on top of the piano and hit them)

Geun Suk: Ouch! Why did you hit me?

Shin Hye: Oppa, why are you laughing at me?

Geun Suk: Are you sure we are laughing at you? Just now you also laugh at us right?

Shin Hye: Ne. But why did you laugh after I said it’s because you are like acting in Minami Shineyo?

Yong Hwa: Shin Hye-ah, didn’t you realize that you also act like Minam?

Shin Hye: Chincha?!

Yong Hwa: Ne.

Shin Hye giggle like Minam.

Hong Ki: See you act like Minam. You really hit so hard. Ouch! My arm is still aching.

Shin Hye: Chincha?! Let me see. (Instead of caressing it, she hits him again) Kekeke.

Hong Ki: Yah!

Shin Hye: It’s my birthday Hong Ki.

Hong Ki: Aissh. Yong, is your arm not hurt?

Yong Hwa: Aniyo.

Geun Suk: Mwo?

Hong Ki: Chincha?

Yong Hwa: Ne. Maybe my arms are numbed already from being hit. (He then looked at Shin Hye)

Shin Hye: Yah! I didn’t hit you during our shoot.

Yong Hwa: Chincha? You want me to ask our director to show us how many times you hit me? (He show his toothy grind) Especially during my birthday, that was your birthday gift for me right?



Shin Hye: Aniyo. I bought you cake remember.

Yong Hwa: And then you hit me.

Hong Ki: (Doing a fake cough) Hey, we are still here.

Geun Suk: You are again in your own world, like how you always do during our Minami Shineyo shoot.

Shin Hye/Yong Hwa: Chincha!?

Geun Suk/Hong Ki: Ne!

And they all laughed remembering how happy they were during Minami Shineyo days.

After a small chat with her fellow ANJells, Shin Hye then approach each guests and thank them for coming. They all enjoy the dinner that The Timber House prepared. Shin Hye was seating at the table with her parents and manager. Hong Ki and Yong Hwa joined their band while Geun Suk joined Hee Chul and the other Minami Shineyo casts.

They were all enjoying the food when one of the MBC staff went to the stage where bands perform. She said that the stage is open for those who want to perform for Shin Hye.

Hong Ki and his fellow FTI Island band mates went to the stage.



Hong Ki: Shin Hye-ah, you’ve been there to support us always. Though you didn’t choose me during the dating game, we prepare something for you.

The FTI Island first song was Love like Birds.


After that Hong Ki signalled his fellow band mates to play the next song… Promise by ANJell. Hong Ki called Geun Suk and Yong Hwa to join them.



Shin Hye was so happy to see her fellow ANJell again. They call her to join them in the stage.

Hong Ki: Are you happy Shin Hye?

Shin Hye: Ne.

Geun Suk: Chincha?!

Shin Hye: Ne.

Yong Hwa: Is there any song that you would want to hear?

Shin Hye: Wae-yo? Will you sing it for me?

Yong Hwa: Ne.

Shin Hye: But I want Jong Hyun to sing it.

Yong Hwa: Mwo?

Hong Ki: Looks like Shin Hye wants to hear her favourite CN Blue song Yong?

Yong Hwa: Araso, It’s your birthday.

Shin Hye: Chincha!? (She giggles like a teenager)

Geun Suk, Hong Ki and the rest of the FT Island all went down the stage while Yong Hwa’s fellow band mates went to the stage to prepare for the song that Shin Hye requested.



Yong Hwa: Shin Hye-ah, I thought you already changed your favourite CN Blue song. But since it’s your birthday… I’ll accept that you really like this Jong Hyun’s song.

CN Blue plays Shin Hye’s favourite song… Love Rides the Rain.



After the song, Min Hyuk suddenly said something.
Min Hyuk: Shin Hye Noona, Jung Shin and I also want to sing for you.

Jung Shin: Ne.

Yong Hwa: Mwo?

Min Hyuk: Ne, Hyung. We want to sing for Shin Hye Noona.

Yong Hwa: Don’t tell me you’ll sing?

Jung Shin: Don’t worry Hyung, I practice the song last night.

Yong Hwa: Chincha?!

Jung Shin/Min Hyuk: Ne.

Yong Hwa: Araso. (He looked at where Shin Hye is sitting) Shin Hye-ah, mianhe but they really want to do it.

Shin Hye smile and did a two thumbs up.

They play Jung Shin’s favourite song… You’ve Fallen for Me.



While playing the song, all the guests sing a long with them. The Heartstrings casts and staffs giggle when Jung Shin imitates Yong Hwa. They all have fun.

After the song, Hee Chul went to the stage.


Hee Chul: Annyeonghaseyo Hee Chul-imnida.

Yong Hwa was about to go down the stage together with his band mates when Hee Chul stops him.

Hee Chul: Yong Hwa, wait.

Yong Hwa: Mwo?

Hee Chul: You stay here. (He then looked at where Shin Hye is sitting) Shin Hye-ah, can you please come here to Oppa.

Shin Hye went to the stage confused. She stands besides Yong Hwa. And this didn’t pass Hee Chul’s eyes.

Hee Chul: Aissh! You already choose him during the date until now you’re still standing beside him. Can you just stand here beside Oppa.

Shin Hye: (She giggles) Araso Oppa.

Yong Hwa: Hyung, I won the game. She should be with me. (He also plays along with the cleverness of Hee Chul)

Hee Chul: Yong Hwa, you have all your time with her tomorrow. For this moment, let her stay with me.

Yong Hwa: Mwo?

Shin Hye: What do you mean Oppa?

Hee Chul: You’re date tomorrow? Are you thinking that it was just also part of the surprise?

Yong Hwa: Ne.

Shin Hye: You also don’t know Yong? (She looked at Yong Hwa who was also surprised to hear what Hee Chul said)

Yong Hwa: Ne.

Hee Chul: Don’t worry; I also didn’t know that the date is for real. They just told me a while ago. The dating game, this surprise birthday party and your date will be part of the special that MBC Music will be airing on Saturday, the exact day of your birthday.

Shin Hye: Chincha?!

Just then one of the head of MBC Music went to the stage and gives Shin Hye a bouquet of flowers.

Shin Hye: Kamsahamnida Seonsaengnim.

MBC Head: Aniyo Shin Hye. We should be the one thanking you for all your support to MBC Music. Choosing you as the main image for our launch was a good decision. Your popularity helps a lot. And as our way of thanking you, we decided to give this birthday special for you. Also, to add with the thing that Hee Chul mentioned about the date. Tonight you will be staying at one of the Park Suite King room. You can bring your family or friends.



Shin Hye: Chongmallyo!? Kamsahamnida Seonsaengnim.

Hee Chul: What a great birthday gift for you Shin Hye. (He then looked at Yong Hwa) So, Yong Hwa you should be here early tomorrow for your date?

Yong Hwa wasn’t able to answer because the MBC Head said something.

MBC Head: Yong Hwa will also have his own room. His room is opposite Shin Hye’s room. It’s his prize for winning the dating game.

Yong Hwa: Chongmallyo!? Kamsahamnida Seonsaengnim.

The MBC head smile at them and then went down.

Hee Chul: If I only knew I should have join the dating game. Well, just enjoy your date tomorrow. And for us we can stay here until 12 midnight. Let’s enjoy.

Most of the guests stay until 11 pm. When it was almost 12, Hong Ki and his fellow band mates, Geun Suk and Hee Chul all said their goodbye.

Hong Ki: Shin Hye-ah, Happy Birthday again. (He hugs her) Enjoy your date tomorrow. (He looked at Yong Hwa) Make sure you’ll do what you said during the game. I’ll watch it on Saturday.

Geun Suk: Shin Hye-ah, you should have chosen me. I still think my ideal date is better than his. (He looked at Yong hwa pouting and then to Shin Hye again) I’m just joking. Enjoy your date tomorrow. Don’t think of what other people will be thinking.

They all left. Shin Hye was still with her manager and Yong Hwa with his band mates.

Manager Jun: Shin Hye-ah, your Eomma called. She already prepared your things. Your Oppa will bring them here. He’s on his way now. We’ll go and look for him first.

Shin Hye: Gomawo Oppa.

Shin Hye’s manager and stylist left.

Jong Hyun: Hyung, your things are in the van already.

Yong Hwa: Mwo?

Jung Shin: When we saw that you won the game. We decided to put your things that you will bring for our tour in the van. Just in case after your date you need to rush for our flight.

Shin Hye: You’re leaving?

Min Hyuk: Ne Noona. We are supposed to go to Japan tomorrow. We thought that your date will be today.

Shin Hye: Mwo? You’re leaving tomorrow?

Yong Hwa: Supposed to be?

Shin Hye: Mwo?

Yong Hwa: They rescheduled it on the 16th instead. Anyway the show is only on the 17th. We already had our practice so that won’t be a problem.

Shin Hye: Are you sure? You don’t have to do it if it will affect your show.

Jung Shin/Min Hyuk/Jong Hyun: Aniyo!

Shin Hye: De?!

Jung Shin: You should go on your date.

Min Hyuk: It is the only chance.

Jong Hyun: This is it.

Yong Hwa: Mwo?

Jung Shin/Min Hyuk/Jong Hyun: We’ll just get your things Hyung.

They all wink at Yong Hwa and run like kids.

Shin Hye: What’s wrong with them?

Yong Hwa: I don’t know also.

Then they laugh when they noticed that they were the only one left at the venue.

Shin Hye: We came here together.

Yong Hwa: And looks like we have to leave together too.

Shin Hye: Good thing the MBC Music's crew who’s recording the whole event left also.

Yong Hwa: Are you thinking of what other people will say?

Shin Hye: Not really. It’s just that I’m not used to it.

Yong Hwa: Well, me too. I don’t feel like being myself when I know a camera is following me?

Shin Hye: Chincha?

Yong Hwa: Ne.

Shin Hye’s POV: Does it mean he is not the real him during his fake marriage? How about during our shoot?
Yong Hwa’s POV: Shin Hye-ah, I’m only being myself when I’m with you. I tried to hide what I really feel because of the cameras. But sometimes I totally forget about the camera jut be myself.
Yong Hwa: I think we better go now. They could be waiting downstairs already.

Shin Hye: Ne. But do you know where the rooms that we will be staying are?

Yong Hwa: Aniyo.

Shin Hye: Mwo?

Yong Hwa: I’m just joking. The hotel staff gave me the keys a while ago when you are talking to some of the guests. Gaja!

Shin Hye: Ne.
