Prologue
The snow effect on the screen came into halt as the channels changed. His image came into the screen, as he smiled. The camera drew closer to his boyish face, and in an instance, the world seemed to stop to watch his every move. She went in front of the TV screen. She never took her eyes off her, or even blinked. Just like every girl who have seen him in the small screen, she love him. Not the kind of love of a fan to their idol, but a kind of love that's real... It's a love that made her whole and at the same time tearing her apart. She reached out for his face on the screen, and touched his pixelated cheek. If only she could hold him for real... If only she could stay beside him for just a moment, and make him feel how much she loved him... but everything is just a wishful thinking. She knows she will never have that chance. She is just an ordinary girl who can look up in the sky to adore a shining star like him, and she know she have to stop this madness before it could break her. She closed her eyes and tried to erase his face in her memory, but even with her eyes closed, his image seemed to haunt her. A silent tear fell on her cheek as she turned the TV off. She have decided to let go of this shining star, for loving him made her feel the most painful thing in the world. As she shut the TV off, she will be shutting him in her life forever... -- Chapter 1 - The Letter He sorted out the mails he have received that day. Maybe it has already reached around 500 mails, but he doesn't care. Well, reading fan mails was fun at first, but then he grew tired of all the people writing to him, telling him how they idolize him and how great he is, especially in his new drama series. He put all the fan mails inside a box, and then handed it to his personal assistant. "You know what to do." he said. His assistant just smiled at him as he took the box from his boss. As he was about to leave, a small, violet envelope fell out of nowhere. He took it, and read what's written on the envelope. "To Mr. Zhou Yi Quan" he read. "Another fan mail, I guess..." he thought. He was about to go back to his assistant, but then, there's something about that letter that made him want to read it. He looked at the envelope again, and saw that his address was on it, but there was no address for the sender. He came to a conclusion that this person doesn't wish for his reply, unlike the other mails he have received. He put it on his pocket, and decided to read the letter after his concert rehearsals. -- "What's new?" Kelsi asked her brother the moment she arrived home from school. She found her brother watching news that moment. "Oh nothing... just a bunch of politicians and their scandals..." Jeff, her elder brother, replied. Kelsi just smiled, and decided to go up to her room and change. Just as she was about to go up, she heard the TV reporter tell a news about the Taiwanese boy band, HyperActive. "HyperActive will be coming to Manila next month for their world tour." she heard the reporter say. She paused for a while, as she listen to what the reporter has to say. "HyperActive has been so popular nowadays due to their series, 'Falling in love with a Prince', spearheaded by Jason Zhou Yi Quan. Tickets for the concert are now sold out..." "Kelsi! You want to watch this concert?" her brother asked. Kelsi just smiled at her brother. "Well, if I had the chance, I would.. but the news said the tickets are sold out already." She said. Jeff stood up from the couch and approached her. He reached for his pocket, and showed his sister the tickets to the concert. He knew how much his sister love these Taiwanese guys since the day she saw them on TV, and since he have been a good sister, he decided to treat her to this concert. "Oh my God!" she shrieked. "You can't be serious..." Kelsi said in awe. "Well, I know you really love that band so I bought the tickets once the news about their concert was confirmed..." Jeff explained. Kelsi smiled, and gave her brother a hug. "You're the best brother in the whole wide world, Jeffy!" she said as she hugged him tight. It was so tight, that Jeff could not even breath and let go from his sister. "Uhh... sis, I appreciate your gratefulness, but I can't breath you know..." -- He sat on the stage as he watched everybody leave. He said goodbye to the musicians, and his fellow bandmates as they left the auditorium. "Not leaving yet?" Jin Xiu Yi, asked him. Yi Quan just smiled at him, and shook his head. "You know how much I love staying at the auditorium after our practice, Xiu Yi." Yi Quan said. "So, does that mean so don't have a date tonight?" he asked. "No date tonight." Xiu Yi just tapped his shoulder, and said goodbye to his friend. As soon as he's alone, he reached for his pocket, and took out the small envelope. He carefully opened it, and took out a piece of paper inside it. He could smell the sweet fragrance of the stationery as he unfolds the paper. The cursive penmanship compliments the paper. He began to read the letter, and as he did, a smile forms from his lips. Dear Yi Quan, You may not know who I am, but I know you. I have seen you everyday on the screen. Who wouldn't anyway? You are a superstar that everyone adores and loves so much, and I am just one of those people who looks up to you, and wishes that you would give me even a single glance. The first time I saw you, I know I have fallen for you... I guess you have heard this line from all of your girl admirers, but I really felt that way. I don't know why... I know I shouldn't but my heart has a mind of its own. There's something in your eyes, and in your smile that made me feel this way... and I can feel that there is something more beneath your boyish face. I know you don't have enough time to read all your fan mails. If you would be able to read this, then I would be very happy. Just the thought of you, smiling at my letter, is a great accomplishment for me. I hope I had made your busy day a little happy with this letter. I hope one day, our paths would cross. When that day comes, I hope you could give me a sweet smile, and I hope when that day comes, I would have the courage to approach you, and to be near you even for just a second... Angel After he finished reading the letter, Yi Quan folded it and put it back on his pocket. The letter is simple, but it made him feel special. He lied on the floor, and stared at the faint light above his head. "Who could be this 'Angel'?" he thought. He closed his eyes, and decided to find out more about his mysterious letter-sender. -- Carefully, she folds the paper into three after she finished writing on it, and insert it into a small, violet envelope. She have spent a lot of time and effort, making another letter for him. She clutched it in her hand, and left the room. She walked to the mail box, and before she put the letter inside the box, she held it tight. She was wishing it would reach to him, and that he would be able to read her letter. She kissed the envelope before she insert it on the mail box. She was not expecting him to write box, that's why she never wrote her address on the envelope. She's just happy at the thought of it reaching him. And then she left, praying that he would give her a chance to let him know how she feels about him, even though it's just through a fan mail... --- Chapter 2 - That One Chance "Where's my letter?" Zhou Yi Quan asked his assistant, Mei Ru, as soon as he arrived. He was looking forward to receive another letter from 'Angel', and he have gave intructions to his assistant that if he noticed another letter without an address in it, he should give it to him as soon as possible. "Would that be from Ms. Anonymous, Mr. Zhou?" Mei Ru asked. Yi Quan nodded his head. Mei Ru smiled at him, and reached for his drawer. He received 3 new letters from 'Angel' that week. Yi Quan said his thanks to Mei Ru as he took the letters from him. As he was about to leave, his manager came. "Yi Quan! Good to see you here!" Manager Ken said as he entered the room. Yi Quan smiled at his manager. He handed him his passport and his plane ticket. Tomorrow, he and the rest of his bandmates will fly to Manila for their concert. "Don't forget, you have an early flight tomorrow. Once we get there, you guys will meet the press." Manager Ken said. Yi Quan nodded his head, and watched as his manager leave the room. "Excited?" he hear Mei Ru said once Ah Ken left. Yi Quan gave him a confused look. Well, he was looking forward to go to Manila and meet his fans, but he is not that excited. "I don't see any reason why I should... unless I get to meet the Queen of England there..." Yi Quan said. He plopped on the couch as he toyed with the plane ticket he's holding. "I know, but based on my research, there's a chance that your Ms. Anonymous lives in Manila..." A smile gradually formed on Yi Quan's lips. "Manila..." he repeated in a low voice. "Yup! Manila. Based on the stamps on her envelope, she could be based there." In his heart, there was a longing to see this Angel, the one who would anonymously send her fan mails. He have to find her after their concert. -- "Ugh! I can't believe your luck!" Kelsi said to her best friend, Millie, as they walked towards the university's canteen. They have known each other since they were in grade school, and is inseparable. Both of them are taking up Medicine at one of the most prestigious universities in Manila. Like Kelsi, Millie's also a fan of HyperActive. If she was able to get tickets for their concert before it got sold out, Millie won a backstage pass and a chance to meet and greet HyperActive after their concert. "How could you win? I sent more entries that you did!" Kelsi ranted. "Well, it just so happens that I'm a very lucky girl. But since I'm a good girl as well, I was planning to take you with me..." Kelsi paused, then she looked at her best friend with disbelief. "Really?" she asked.

Chapter 2 - That One Chance - continuation
Millie nodded her head. "Of course! You're my BFF... how can I leave you behind!" she said. With that, Kelsi jumped at her, and hugged her. "Wow! Thank you, Millie!"
--
Manila.
"It's the day..." "It's today..." "Will I ever find you?"
Thought flooded in Yi Quan's mind. "Angel..." he thought. He took the violet envelope from his pocket and read it for the nth time. It was the letter that "Angel" sent before he left Taiwan for their concert in Manila
Dear Yi Quan,
How are you doing? I know you'll be going to Manila to have a concert with your band... and I can't wait to see you in person.
God knows I want to be able to be with you even for just a second. I want to stay beside you and let you know how much I support you... but that would be impossible. Everybody loves you, and I am one of those millions of girls waiting for that chance to be there by your side. I know I can only see you from afar... you but that's OK with me... what matters is that I would be seeing you soon. My dream would come true...
I can't wait to hear your angelic voice live. I can't wait to see you in person. I won't miss this one chance to see you...
Angel
A smile formed in his lips. Of all his fans, Angel is the one special for him. He doesn't know why... and maybe because of the fact that Angel is different from the other fans he have met. Those he met are too aggressive. But Angel... she was just happy seeing him from afar.
He wanted to see her. He wanted to thank her for supporting him. He wanted to meet her and let her feel how special she is to him. And now that he is in Manila, he would do everything to find her.
--
"I'm sorry sir, but since the letter doesn't have the address, we really can't help you trace where this came from..." The girl at the Post Office said. A man, who is covering himself up in shades and red cap, just sighed and said his thanks to the girl before he leaves. He hurried, not wanting the people around him to recognize who he is. He ran through the Post Office's stairs, then crossed to the park.
Meanwhile, Kelsi was busy fixing her things in the bag on her way to school. She was looking for something. "Where is it?" she thought. She smiled when she finally found what she was looking for. She took it from her bag, and held it along the way.
Just then, a man in red cap bumped into her. They both fell on the ground. "Ouch..." Kelsi said. She looked up at the guy who bumped into her. He stood up then he helped Kelsi to stand up. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." he said. He took something that fell on the ground, and then he hurried to leave. Kelsi just sighed. "Men..." she thought. "At least he's gentleman enough and helped me up." she said to herself.
Just then, she realize, the thing she was holding a while ago was gone...
--
Yi Quan hurried to the van waiting for him at the other side of the park. "Did you got the info you needed?" Mei Ru asked. "They can't help me..." Yi Quan said. Mei Ru shook his head. "Too bad..."
Just then, he realized he was holding a violet envelope. He looked at it, and then he put it on his pocket. "On another day... I will try my best to find her..." Yi Quan swore to himself. He have to see Angel during his week's stay in Manila. He have to... he needed to...
--
She carefully opened the door, and she saw her smiling at her. Her small and fragile body laid on the white bed. He pale face formed a smile, and she was just as happy as her upon seeing her that way. "Did you do it?" The little girl asked. She nodded at her. "Yes. As always..." "I wish I could see him too..." "You will... just be a little better and then you would be able to see him. Trust me..." "He's here already, right?" "Yes, he just arrived."
The little girl smiled as she closed her eyes. She sat near her bed and held her hand. "I wish I could... I wish I would..." the little girl said. A tear formed at the corner of her eyes. She wished to take away all the pain she is feeling right now. She wished to take her place...
Why her? She was young, she was a good girl, she's innocent. Why does it have to be her? She have been asking that question since the day she met her. She have a good life ahead of her, and now that's being taken away from her. She prayed, prayed so hard that she could help her fulfill her last wish before time runs out...
-- A/N: medyo nalito na kayo no? sino ba si Angel? Sino yung little girl? ano yung hawak ni Kelsi? Ano yung napulot ni Yi Quan?
ABANGAN!!!

Chapter 3 - Mysteries
"Tell me how he looks like..." The little girl said to her. She gave her a smile before she began to speak. "He looks like an angel... no. He looks like a prince that just stepped out of a fairy tale book..." "He has an angelic voice. When he sang, he sang with his whole heart..." "He has the most beautiful smiles I have ever seen..." "The sound of his laughter is like a melody..."
The little girl smiled at her. "By the way you described him, it seems that you have loved him more..." she said. The smile on her face slowly faded. "I could never be the girl he would want... there are a lot of pretty girls lining up to him..." she said sadly. "I love him so much that it's starting to hurt me..." The little girl held her had to comfort her. "I love him too... he is my first love..." she said, laughing gently. She smiled at her. At 10, she never thought this little girl knows more about love. Then, the girl squeezed her hand. "Promise me..." she said. "Promise me... when I am gone, you will follow what you heart says... promise me..."
--
Back at his hotel room that night, Yi Quan sat on the couch. He was tired from trying to search 'Angel', and from the rehearsals. "How can I ever find you..." he thought. He took a deep sigh, and then he took the envelope from the back pocket of his pants. As he reached for the letter, another violet envelope dropped on the carpeted floor. "What is this?" he thought. He thought he only brought one letter with him that morning, and he was surprised to find another one.
He took it, and was surprised to see that it's not yet open. "A new letter?" he thought. Still confused, he called on Mei Ru. "What is it, boss?" Mei Ru asked as soon as he arrived. "Did... did anyone gave you this letter?" Yi Quan asked, waving the the violet envelope in his face. "No... the last one we got is the one you received before we left for the airport." Mei Ru explained. He looked away from him, and then he dismissed his assistant. He looked at the letter in his hand, as he wondered... did he found her without ever knowing that he did?
--
Kelsi's room has turned topsy-turvy. She just couldn't find it. She thought it was in her bag all along, but when she looked for it, it's gone. "Where is it!" she shouted in frustration. Jeff heard her shout, so he peeked inside her room. "Sis? What's wrong?" he asked. Kelsi looked up at her brother. "It's gone!" she said in a panicked voice. "Which is gone?" "The letter!" "Which letter?" "The letter for..."
Kelsi paused. She did not want her brother to know about her little secret. No, she just can't let him know. "The letter for... for... the hospital where I'll be applying..." she said. Jeff gave him a confused look. "Can't you print another one?" "No! I mean... no... the dean already signed it..." "Then print one again and let the dean sign it."
Jeff left her room, and as soon as he left, Kelsi began to look for that letter again.
--
He stared outside the window of his hotel room. He's still wondering how he got that new letter from 'Angel'. He reached for his pocket and began to open the envelope. He smiled as he read her letter, written in a neat, cursive penmanship.
Dear Yi Quan,
How are you? Are you nervous about your concert? I am looking forward for the day that you will be singing live... I am looking forward to the day that I would be seeing you perform on stage... That is my greatest dream...
Yi Quan, no matter what happens, I will forever support you. I will always be here, cheering for you...
Angel
He folded the letter, and stared out of the window again. He knew he found her... and it's all up to him to find her again. And if he does find her, he will not let her go this time...
--
Concert Day.
"Hey Yi Quan!" Wang Ya Se called him while he was busy preparing for the concert. Yi Quan smiled at his bandmate. "I'm as nervous as you are... wow! have you seen the audience! I never thought we would have a lot of fans here in the Philippines!" Ya Se said. "I never thought we had a lot of supporters here..." Ding Xiao Yu, his other bandmate, said as he approached him. Wang Ya Se then left once he saw Xiu Yi.
Xiao Yu sat beside Yi Quan and tapped his shoulder. Aside from Mei Ru, he knew all about 'Angel'. "Still could not find her?" Xiao Yu asked. Yi Quan nodded his head. "We've been here for a week, and I can't even trace her... God, I don't even know why I'm looking for her!" he said. Xiao Yu smiled at him. "Xiao Yu... how... how would I know if it's her? How would I know I found the right Angel?" he asked. "You would know... only your heart would know, Quan..." Xiao Yu said.
Their conversation was interrupted when Ah Ken came. With him are two Filipina girls who won the backstage pass for their concert. "Ah... Yi Quan, Xiao Yu, glad you are here." Ah Ken said. "This is Millie, the girl who won the contest, and with her is her friend, Kelsi..." Yi Quan smiled at the two girls, and shook their hands. When he took Kelsi's hand, he felt something... as if she's very familiar to him. He stared into her eyes, trying to remember if he met her before.Kelsi, on the other hand, became too conscious at the way Yi Quan stared at her. "Oh my God... I'm melting..." she thought. She looked up at her and blushed. "Did we... Have we met before?" he asked her. Kelsi looked at him, dumbfounded. What a pick-up line... she thought. But she remembered something... that man at the park. "I... I'm not sure...." she said.
Xiao Yu smiled at Kelsi. "Sorry, miss... we have a lot of pretty ladies that looked like you back in Taiwan. Maybe my friend here thought he have met you in Taiwan before." he explained. Kelsi laughed nervously. "Oh! Well... I have never been to Taiwan..." she said. After a few minutes, their manager called on Yi Quan and Xiao Yu. It's time to perform onstage.
--
"And for our next song... it's "Bu Hui Ai" Xiu Yi announced. Then, the music played and they began to sing the song...
zhi hao rang li wu an jing tang zai wo kou dai yi bian kan zhe ni gen ta kuai le liao dao xiao kai dan you qing liang zi bu zu xing rong wo qing gan xin qing dou sui ni zhuan wan

As Yi Quan sing this song, the only girl he could think of was Angel. The mystery girl who have written her letters... the unknown girl he have learned to love....
--
As his voice sang the song she have longed to hear, she smiled. Tears almost fell from her eyes... this was her dream... and she would not want to wake up from this dream. At some point, she was ready to give up her love for him. She swore to God, once she saw him in person, she would let go of this madness... but her feelings are unstoppable. She just can't give up this man, this star, who have given her the inspiration and the happiness she have wanted... "Mahal kita..." she whispered. The crowd cheered, and her whisper cannot be heard by him, even if she is just in front of him...
--
"Mahal kita..." He heard someone say. It was inaudible, but he was able to hear it. His heart began to beat faster. It was a weird feeling... he was not like this in their previous concerts. But after they sang "Bu Hui Ai" and he heard those words... he felt something really different. "Only your heart would know..." Xiao Yu said to him a while ago. She's here, he knew... he looked out to the crowd, finding who among them could be this 'Angel', but among the unfamiliar face in the crowd, his not sure... he is unsure....
--
"I promise..." she said to the girl, who is peacefully sleeping on the hospital bed. She gently kissed her forehead, and tucked her in. A tear slowly fell down from her cheeks. "Though it's hurting me more and more... I will follow my heart... then maybe, just maybe, he could learn to love an ordinary girl like me..." she thought. She stood up and went to the sidetable, and from there, she took a long, white envelope.
People might think that this is too much, but she knew she have to do this. Not for herself, but for the little girl whom she made a pact.
--
Dear Ms. Kelsi Ramirez,
Congratulations!
You have been admitted for the Internship Program at the National Taiwan University Hospital...

Chapter 4: Serendipity
“Paging Dr. Chen… Paging Dr. Chen… Please proceed to the operating room now. Paging Dr. Chen…”
Kelsi slumped at the chair of the hospital’s pantry after getting some caffeine fix. She have been in the hospital for 12 hours now… and she badly wanted to go back to her apartment. “Can someone remind me why I decided to take up Medicine? Oh yeah…” she thought. She sipped her coffee, as she looked up at the TV screen.
She saw a familiar face on TV – It was Zuo Yi Quan. It has been a year since she saw him in person at the HyperActive concert in Manila. Since she came to Taipei for the Internship program, she saw a lot of him. “I sometimes wonder what is it with Zuo Yi Quan that makes a lot of girls mesmerized by him…” Kelsi looked back and saw her colleague, Huo Jian Hua entering the pantry. “Good evening, Dr. Huo.” Kelsi said, smiling at him. “Good evening, Dr. Ramirez. I see you’re taking a break from your shift tonight huh?” “Yeah, been here for 12 hours now…” “Tsk tsk tsk… you should get some rest, Dr. Ramirez. We don’t want to end up in the hospital because of over fatigue, don’t we?”
Kelsi gave out a faint laugh. “I think you’re right, Dr. Huo…” she said. Dr. Huo smiled back at her. “Don’t worry, I’ll cover for you. Take a rest then tomorrow’s gonna be a big day.” He said. Kelsi walked up to him and gave him a hug. “I owe you one, Wallace…” she said, then she left the pantry, and headed home.
--
Yi Quan dialed her number again. Her phone rang, then afterwards, he heard her voicemail for the nth time. “Hi! Ah Sa here! I’m quite busy and I can’t answer your call. Please –“
Before he could here the beep, he ended the call. “Where the hell is she…” he thought. It’s been three days since their last fight, and he was trying his best to fix his relationship with his girlfriend of six months (fellow artisit, Ah Sa), but it seems that Ah Sa is not interested in getting back together with him.
“Mr. Zuo…” he heard his assistant call. He looked at him, his face filled with frustration. “Whatever it is, Mei Ru… just don’t bother me with it right now…” he said. Then he sighed. Mei Ru sighed as he left Yi Quan alone. He was just about to give the letters that “Angel” sent these past few months. But it seems that his boss is not interested in any of the letters she sent. He was uninterested in almost anything, except for Ah Sa. He has been that since the day they started dating.
Mei Ru peeked at his boss again. He was dialing her number again and again. “Yi Quan… you should know that it’s all over…” he said silently. He shook his head as he left Yi Quan alone.
--
“He is not interested…” he said to her. Her sad face looked away from him. She doesn’t want him to see the tears in her eyes… not now. She doesn’t want to feel hurt. What can she do? She is just a fan… nothing else. “There’s nothing else that I wouldn’t want in this world but for these letters to reach him…” she said in a low voice. Her voice, cracking as she finally broke down. He reached for her and hugged her tight. “I wish I could do anything for you… but I can’t…” he whispered to her.
d**n Yi Quan for breaking her heart. d**n Yi Quan for letting her hopes high, then suddenly letting her down when he met Ah Sa.
“She’s just breaking his heart and he couldn’t see it…” he told her. “It’s like she took over every part of him…” she whispered. “And it hurts me more than it hurts him…”
Silence filled the place.
“Angel… why him?” he suddenly asked. She looked up at him, not knowing what to answer him.
Why does she love him? Why him, when she deserve someone “real”? He is just a fantasy for her, and it was wrong for her to fall for this man… but her heart does not hear out her logic.
Why him? Why not Jin Xiu Yi, or Wang Ya Se, or Ding Xiao Yu? Why not her colleague? She shook her head. “I don’t know… I don’t know…”
--
Mei Ru stared at the violet envelopes on his table. He wanted to sad for Angel, and at the same time, be mad at Yi Quan. “You wanted to find her…” he thought. “You wanted to meet her… and now I have found her, you took her for granted…”
He stashed the enveloped on the drawer. He will not give up on his boss. If Angel doesn’t want to give up, then he won’t give up either. “Time will come you will ask me for these letters, Yi Quan… when that day comes, I hope it’s not yet too late…”
--
There’s nothing left for him to do but go to Ah Sa’s pad to make it up to him. Yi Quan surprised her. He bought a dozen of white roses, and the most expensive wine. They have to talk. They have to fix this thing going on between them. He loves her so much, and it scares him that she’ll leave him. He tiptoed to her room, and by the door, he heard her moaning. Is she in pain? Did something happened to Ah Sa? Then he heard a man’s voice, calling her name. All she did was moan as the man call her.
He carefully opened the door, and found the woman she love making love to another man. And it’s just not any other man. It was his best friend, Mei Tian Nan. Yi Quan dropped the flower on his hand, and the wine he was holding. This startled Ah Sa and Nan. “Yi… Yi Quan?” Ah stuttered. She was shocked to find her boyfriend in her pad. She immediately covered her naked body with a blanket. He just stood there, glaring at the two lovers. “How could you do this to me?” he asked in a low voice. “Yi Quan… Yi Quan, let me explain…” Mei Tian Nan said to him.
Ke Si walked towards him, but Yi Quan gave him a punch. “You were my best friend, Nan! How could you!” He shouted at him. Then, he stormed out of her pad, heart broken, and in pain.
--
Dear Yi Quan,
How are you? It’s been a long time since I’ve written you a letter… and it’s been a long time since I saw you in person. Yi Quan, I know you are with her now. Are you happy with her? Does she make you smile? I know you love her with all your life, but I’m scaed that she will only cause you pain…
But as long as she loves you and as long as your feelings for her is strong, I will support you… I will be here for you though it’s breaking my heart…
Angel
--
He drank his last cup of wine. He got out of the bar after settling his bill. Then he went straight to his car and drove away. He wanted to get out of this mess, of the pain he is feeling.
Wasn’t he enough? He gave Ah Sa everything that she wanted. Everything. She was her world. His life revolved around her. How could she betray him, and worse, with his best friend? “Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh” he shouted in frustration. He started the engine of his car again. And then he drove as fast as he could. He drove… until he hit an electric post…
--
“Emergency!” Kelsi heard one of the nurse shouted. She saw Jian Hua running up to her. “Kelsi, we need you. Now!” he ordered. She followed him as they reached their patient. “The guy is apparently drunk…” Jian Hua explained. Kelsi shook her head. “There oughta be a law against drunk drivers…” she said. Jian Hua smiled at her. “There is. Apparently , this guy thinks he could… you know… drink and drive. Go save the guy.” He said.
Kelsi walked towards one of the bed in the emergency room. She cut the crowd of people attending to the patient. She was surprised to see who her patient is that night… it was Yi Quan.
--
“Are you all right?” The voice seemed familiar. He have heard that before but he could not remember where. “Hold on…” Hold on to what? His life is a mess… but as she spoke, he felt as if wanting to stay alive… “You’ll be OK…” He tried to open his eyes, but the physical pain he’s feeling won’t let him see through. He saw everything in white. “Am I in heaven?” he thought. He closed his eyes again, then he felt a warm touch… it was the touch that he seemed to be longing for. “Angel? Is that an Angel?” he thought. Then, he opened his eyes again. And then he saw her – her eyes filled with worry, her eyes wanting to shed tears… and then she turned to her. He found her angelic and beautiful face… then it hit him. The familiarity of her voice… the one he have heard whispering during their Manila concert last year. It was her… his Angel…
--
“How could she break his heart…” she said. She was shedding tears again for the man who never knew her, and never knew she existed. She was shedding tears again for the man, whose heart was broken. She could feel his pain. “How could she!” “I don’t know why…” he said. “But he loved her so much… so much that he’s died for her…” “She doesn’t deserve her…” “And do you?”
She looked up at him. “Neither do I…” she said in a low voice. “I am just an ordinary girl who could only look up to a shining star like him…” “But you could have your chance with him… why don’t you take the risk? He deserves to be with someone like you…” “Don’t say that… we could never be together…”
He hugged her again. “You should be happy... the two of you should be happy…” he said. Then she turned to him. “Mei Ru… promise me… promise me we’ll always take care of Yi Quan… promise me…” she said. Mei Ru smiled at her, assuring her that everything will be OK. “I promise Angel… I promise…”
--
“Does it hurt?” the little girl asked. “Yes it does…” she answered. “Loving him just breaks me…” “But you do love him…” “Yes, I do…” The little girl sighed. Maybe what she asked was too much… but she just want her big sister to be happy, and to do the things she could never do in the future. “You can go back home you know… you don’t have to keep your promise…” “But I have to do this, for myself…” “He will only hurt you… he hurts you…” “He had no idea that he’s hurting me… I am the one hurting myself… I could’ve just simply walked away and leave everything behind, but I can’t! I can’t because I love him…” “Then don’t give up… don’t give up on him… I know one day you will have his heart… I know… I know…”

***read on to find out who Angel really is... although may hinala na kayo kung sino talaga sya***
Chapter 5: Suddenly
This is the start of a beautiful friendship… While he’s trying to mend his broken heart, She will be there for him to help him pick up the pieces.
He found her in the field of roses. She lay into the bed of flowers as she slumber peacefully. He smiled, as she walked towards her. Gently, he sat beside him, and kissed her on her forehead. She slowly opened her eye, and smiled upon seeing her. Then, he gently kissed her on the lips…
“… and then he’s going to be OK.” Yi Quan slowly opened his eyes, and found his assistant talking to one of the doctors. The lady doctor, and Mei Ru turned their attention to him as soon as they heard him moan. “Boss… are you OK?” Mei Ru asked. Yi Quan nodded her head. “God… my whole body aches…” he grumbled. The lady doctor walked up to him and smiled. “I’m glad you’re awake, Mr. Zuo.” She said, smiling at him. Yi Quan looked up to her…
She was familiar… He have seen her before… But where?
“Boss, this is Dr. Kelsi Ramirez. She was the one who attended to you when you were rushed to the hospital.” Mei Ru explained. He just stared at her face. He knew he saw her before… he is sure of that. Kelsi noticed that Yi Quan is staring at her. “Is there something wrong, Mr. Zuo?” she asked. “Have we… have we met before?” he asked. Then Kelsi burst out laughing. Mei Ru and Yi Quan gave her a startled look. “You know, Mr. Zuo, you asked me the same question when HyperActive had a concert in Manila…” she explained.
That’s it! She was the girl who won the backstage pass during their concert last year. “Oh… Oh… I’m sorry…” he said. Then he left out a weak laugh. Kelsi smiled at him, and held his hand. “I need to make my rounds. If you need anything, just call me…” she said.
As Kelsi left the room, Yi Quan just watched her. Her warm touch… her soft voice… they all seem familiar in his heart. His heart began to beat faster and faster… Who could she be?
“Boss?” Mei Ru called him. Yi Quan looked at Mei Ru. “Mei Ru…” Mei Ru smiled at him. “Interested with Dr. Ramirez?” he asked. Yi Quan shook his head. “No… I was about to tell you to leave me alone. I need to rest…”
--
Kelsi’s heart fluttered as she left Yi Quan’s room. She couldn’t believe she was the one assigned to look after him. “Dream come true…” she thought. She smiled at herself. “Charm…” She gently opened the door of his room again, and peeked at him. He was sleeping again. He’ll be here for a few more days, and Kelsi know it’s her chance to get to be close with his idol.
--
The next morning, Yi Quan was getting bored staying at the hospital. His bandmates visited him. Some colleagues visited him as well, but Nan and Ah Sa… they never bothered to pay him a visit.
Yi Quan sat up on his bed and tried to get up. As soon as he stood up, his feet flickered, making him fall on the floor. “Hey!” he heard a lady shout. He looked up and saw his doctor, Kelsi, reach for him. She helped him to stand up. “Mr. Zuo, what did I tell you about trying to stand up?” she said. Yi Quan smiled at her. “I’m just trying…” “But’s you’re not strong enough yet!” “But I want to!” “Can you please try to stay in bed just for one more day? Please?”
Kelsi gave him puppy eyes. Yi Quan found himself laughing at her. He never laughed this way… not since the issue with his relationship with Ah Sa. “OK… OK… one more day…” he said. “But I’m getting bored… I need fresh air…” Kelsi smiled at him. “So you want to go out?” she asked. He looked up at her and smiled. “Yes… I would love to…” he said. “Wait for me here…” after saying that, Kelsi rushed out of his room.
After a few minutes, Kelsi returned to his room with a wheelchair on hand. “Now we can go out!” she said gleefully. “I’m going to ride that… that thing?” Yi Quan asked. Kelsi nodded her head. “But –“ “No but’s, superstar. You want to go out, right?” “Yes but –“ “Well, this is the only way you can go out without standing. Come on, I’ll give you a ride!”
--
They went to the hospital’s garden. During the time that they were together, Yi Quan was silent. “You said you got bored at your room… don’t tell me you’re still bored here at the garden…” Kelsi said. Yi Quan looked up to her and smiled. “No… no… I’m… this is OK…” he said. Kelsi smiled back at him. “Penny for your thoughts?” “Nothing really…”
Silence.
“The… the tabloids… do you know what they said about… about what happened to me?” Yi Quan finally said. He know he should’ve not been talking to Kelsi about it, but he have to let it out somehow. Kelsi took a deep breath before answering him. “Do you want me to lie, or do you want me to tell you the truth…” “The truth…” “Well… they thought you’re about to end your life because… because…” “Because of Ah Sa?”
Kelsi nodded her head. “Yeah… because of her…” she said. “She… she ran off with businessman, Mei Tian Nan after the accident…” she explained. Then, Yi Quan laughed. It was a bitter laugh. “I should’ve known” he said. “I should’ve known she would do that...” “But everyone sympathizes with you…” “Is that a good thing or a bad thing?”
Kelsi didn’t answer. She knows Yi Quan was hurt because of the bomb she dropped. “You know… I shouldn’t have told you about… about her…” she said, with a hint of guilt in her tone. “Anyway, it’s just none of my business and –“ “It’s OK, Kelsi…”
Kelsi smiled secretly when he spoke her name. She was getting this close with him. “You think she’s not worthy of me, right?” he asked again. “Well, everybody thinks she isn’t worthy of you. Anyways, there’s a lot of girls out there willing to replace her in your heart. You just have to keep your doors open…” she said. Yi Quan smiled at her. “I’ll keep that in mind…”
--
Thoughts of Kelsi filled his thoughts that night. He have known this doctor for only a few days, but he seemed to have an effect on him. He always looks forward to seeing her when she makes her rounds. He looks forward to having a small talk with him. She even taught her a few Filipino words!
He closed his eyes to sleep, tomorrow would be his last day in the hospital… and he hopes to see more of Kelsi as soon as he’s out.
--
He found her in a field of roses. She was lying among the flowers, as she slumbers peacefully. He walked towards her, and sat beside her, not wanting to wake her up. He gently he kissed her on the forehead. She gently opened her eyes, to find him smiling at her. “Hey…” he said. She smiled at him. She closed her eyes again, this time, his face moved closer to her, their lips started to touch…
She opened her eyes, the sun glimmered through her window. It was just another dream… just another dream… she thought. She sat on her bed and sighed. She was just beginning to get to know this man she loves. She’s taking small steps to be with him… one step at a time… and she knows she would be able to be with him. Who knows… maybe she would have his heart as well…
--
“You’re getting close to him…” Mei Ru told her. “Is that a good thing, or a bad thing?” “You know, you’re already sounding like your boss…” she said. “It is a good thing for me, I guess…” “Then tell him…” “Tell him what?” “That you’re Angel… the girl he have been looking for all this time.” “Is he still looking for me? I don’t think so, Mei Ru… besides, I could feel that he’s still love with Ah Sa… being close to him is all that matters to me now…”
“Be close to whom?” Mei Ru heard a guy said. They both looked back and smiled upon seeing a familiar figure. “Hey, Boss!” Mei Ru said. The guy smiled at him. “Not your boss, he’s still at the hospital…” he said. She looked up at him and smiled. “Finally… I was able to meet you…” he said to her. She blushed upon seeing him. The guy turned to Mei Ru and smiled again. “Aren’t you going to introduce me to your friend?” he asked. Mei Ru looked back at her. “Dr. Kelsi Ramirez, I would like to introduce you to Mr. Ding Xiao Yu…”
--
-Ding Xiao Yu-
So how did it happen that Mei Ru found Angel. How did he found out Kelsi’s little secret? Let me tell you about it…
It was during our Manila concert that Mei Ru found her by accident. Remembered how he tried to find her? Even going to the local post office to get information about her whereabouts? Mei Ru saw her there… she was carrying a violet envelope. It was the same envelope that she always uses to send Yi Quan a letter. Yi Quan didn’t know it, but he found her. Yi Quan found Angel without even noticing it.
Then at the concert. When Kelsi and her friend went to meet us backstage, he noticed that Kelsi is holding something familiar. When we were called on the stage, Kelsi and her friend stayed behind. Mei Ru excused himself, and when he cam back, he saw Kelsi putting the violet envelope on the table.
“Angel?” Mei Ru called. Kelsi was startled when he looked back at him. “I… I…” she stuttered. “You are Angel?” Mei Ru asked again. “You know who Angel is?” she asked. Mei Ru nodded his head. “I know who she is. Do you know who she is?” Mei Ru asked. Kelsi didn’t answer. “You are Angel?” Mei Ru asked again. Kelsi looked up at him. “Please don’t tell him!” “But why?” “I… I…” “He have been looking for you… he really is! You should meet him now!”
Mei Ru pulled her, but Kelsi remained standing. “No… no… please…” she pleaded. Mei Ru gave her a startled. “Please don’t let him know it was me…. I have no intention of –“ Mei Ru let her hand go. “All right… but I tell you, it’s your chance, Angel…” he said. “Why are you letting this chance pass?”
Kelsi looked up to him. “Because it’s better this way… that he never know who I am… so that I could continue loving him from afar…”

***dahil mabait ako... kahit hindi tapos ang chapter 6 ipopost ko na.... nawawalan na ako ng inspiration ( i need ----) hehehe pero tatapusin ko to don't worry... 3 1/2 chapters na lang and an epilogue to go...***
Chapter 6 - Whispers of the heart
"Dr. Ramirez... you have flowers!" Ren Jie, one of Kelsi's colleagues in the hospital, said in a sing-song tone as soon as she got inside the emergency room. Ren Jie handed her a bouquet of flowers, and while she was reading the card included in it, Ren Jie and Nurse Xin Lei were giggling like school girls. Kelsi smiled as she read who sent the flowers. It was Yi Quan. "It's been a month since superstar got admitted here... doesn't he ever get tired of saying thanks to you?" Kelsi looked up and saw Jian Hua approaching her. "Good evening, Jian Hua. It was nice seeing you tonight." Kelsi said, smiling at him. She just ignored his remarks about Yi Quan's yet another thank you gift.
Jian Hua put his arm around Kelsi, as they walked away from the Nurse's station. "Kelsi... is there something going on between you and superstar?" he asked. Kelsi looked up at him and smiled. "Nothing... but if there is, you'll be the first person to know, Wallace..." Jian Hua sighed, as he gave her a faint smile. "Kelsi, you know you have always been like a sister to me... really... and I really don't want to see you get hurt because of Zuo Yi Quan..." "I know Wallace, I understand why you are protecting me... but whatever it is that I do, whatever it is that I decided... if ever I get hurt, there's nobody to blame but me..." Jian Hua then hugged Kelsi. "Just take care of your heart..." he whispered to her. "If he ever hurts you, you know Jian Hua Ge Ge will alaways be here for you..."
--
"And so, slowly, you're starting to be in his heart..." the little girl said. Though she can't see her, she knows she was smiling because of her news. "I don't know... but since he got out of the hospital, he has been constantly sending me flowers..." "That would be a great start..." "But I'm scared..." The little girl paused. She could hear from the other line her sniffling. "I'm scared... I'm starting to get scared..." she cried. Yes, she is happy about what's happening in her life now, but she is scared... she's scared that everything she have now, everything she's feeling right now... the happiness she's feeling right now would suddenly all go away in an instant. "Sssshhh...." the little girl said. "Hush now, ate..." She knows not everything will last forever... and all she have to do is make happy memories and to enjoy every moment with him....
--
"Yes, a bouquet of red roses... yes... address it to Dr. Kelsi Ramirez... the message would be... welll yes... Thank you and take care.. yes.... that would be from Jason Zuo... yes... yes... send it to National Taiwan University hospital... yes, yes... that's right... thank you..."
Yi Quan ended his cal. He sat on the couchand closed his eyes. It's been a month since he last saw Kelsi. He have been planning to personally visit her at the hospital, but with his hectic schedule, he was not able to do so. There something about Kelsi that made him think of her everytime. There's something about her... that seemed so familiar yet so different. Like how his hear beat whenever she's beside her... or how he smiled at the thought of her smiling face... or how warm her touch is or her angelic voice... it's something about Kelsi that he could not explain, or even his mind and heart could not comprehend.
He looked at his phone again. He just have to see her now. He felt like he's going to explode is he would not be able to see her at this instant. He dialed that same number again. "Hello... please cancel the delivery. I'll be picking it up..."
--
As he walked, everyone stared at him. Obviously, the people around him knew it was him, Zuo Yi Quan, Taiwan's heartthrob. Even though he have disguised himself in a cap and shades, people in the hospital knew it was him. He approached the nurse's station, hoping he would be able to see Kelsi here. And he was right. He saw Kelsi, reading a paper in her hand, probably a report on one of her patients. "Kelsi?" he called her. Kelsi looked up at him, and gave him a startled look. She was not able to recognize him. He took off his shades and smiled at her. "Oh! It's you, Mr. Zuo..." she said. Yi Quan smiled at her. "Please call me Yi Quan... and I hope you don't mind that I call you Kelsi instead of Dr. Ramirez." he said. Kelsi nodded her head, and gave him a faint smile. She could feel her cheeks turn into bright pink as Yi Quan talks to her.
"Anyways, Kelsi, are you busy?" he asked. She glanced at her watch, and she was relieved that her shift it almost finished. "Actually, my shift's about to end in a few minutes..." "Great! I was thinking... maybe we could have dinner together..."
Kelsi looked at him disbelief. Wait, this is Zuo Yi Quan, the famous actor and singer. The guy she have been admiring since she saw his boyish face on TV. This is Taiwan's heartthrob asking him out. For Dinner. "Well.. I... ah... kasi... ahh... uhmmmm..." she stuttered. Slowly, the smile on Yi Quan's face started to fade. Maybe it was a bad time asking Kelsi out. "Well... it's OK if you're not free... I mean you're a doctor and I know you have a lot of things to do -" "No!" Kelsi shouted. She didn'nt know it, but she held Yi Quan's hand. "I mean... Yes... Yes we can have dinner together..." she said. Then she looked at her hands, and when she saw how tight she held him, she let him go. Yi Quan smiled at her again. He was amused at her reaction. "Well then... it's a date." He said to her. "Let's go?" she asked. Yi Quan nodded her head. As they were about to leave, Kelsi realized she was still wearing her scrub suit. "Wait... wait... I can't go out like this... wait for me here I'll just change..." she said. Yi Quan laughed as he watched Kelsi hurriedly ran to their locker room. He knew being with Kelsi would be a lot of fun...

Chapter 6 - Whispers of the Hearts
continuation:
"Where would you like to eat?" Yi Quan asked Kelsi while they were driving aroung Taipei. They were looking for a private place where they could have their dinner. "I'm not sure... we've been driving for almost an hour now... where do you really want to go, Yi Quan?" Kelsi asked. "Somewhere where the paparazzi can't follow us..." "Are the paparazzi's that bad?" "No, they are worse... especially when they flock around you."
Kelsi just smiled at him. She understand that Yi Quan just want to have time for himself that's why he's driving around to find a private place. Anyways, if the paparazzi would see them together, she knows they would not stop to haunt her down. She looked at Yi Quan who was busy driving around and looking for a nice restaurant. Then an idea hit her. "Yi Quan..." she called. Yi Quan looked at her. Then, Kelsi held his hand. "Do you trust me?" she asked. Yi Quan looked confused. "What do you mean?" "If I lead the way, will you trust me? Don't worry, I'll make sure no one would follow us..."
YI Quan just smiled at her. "I trust you." he said.Kelsi smiled at him. "OK then, turn left at the next corner..." --
They ended up in a small Filipino Restaurant in one of Taipei's busiest street. Well, the place is not much crowded now, and the only people around is the boss and his assistant. The moment Kelsi opened the door, the lady boss greeted her. "Kelsi! Long time no see! I see you brought a date!" she said as she noticed the guy beside him. Kelsi smiled at the lady boss. "Hope you're not closing yet..." "Of course not yet, sweety!" "Then great! Me and my friend would like to have your specialty..."
Yi Quan smiled at the lady boss as he took off his shades. The lady boss was shocked to find who he is. "Oh my God! Kelsi, di mo naman sinabi si Jason Zuo pala ang date mo!" the lady boss shrieked. Though he can't understand a word she was saying, Jason find it amusing. "Ok, ok... I'll cook you my specialty and it's on the house!" The lady boss said once again before she went inside the kitchen.
"You eat a lot here?" Yi Quan asked as he settled next to her. Kelsi smiled at him. "Of course. Taiwanese food is great, but I miss Filipino dishes a lot..." "Then may I know what's your favorite food here?" "It's chicked adobo..."
Yi Quan was surprised at her answer. During their stint in Manila, he also enjoyed eating chicken adobo, that he even asked for a recipe of it. "You're kidding! I love chicked adobo!" he said. Kelsi was surprised. "Really? I know how to cook one..." "Then maybe sometime you can cook me some of those..." "Sure, no problem. I'll cook for you when I have time."
After a few minutes, the lady boss came back with a dish of chicked adobo. The two wolfed on it as they talked about each other's lives. Kelsi soon find out that she and Yi Quan have a lot of things in common, like Yi Quan wanting to be a cardiologist. Both of them liked strawberry ice cream. They're a Bleach fan, and they both love Utada Hikaru and her song, First Love. "Can you sing a line for me?" Yi Quan asked her. "I have a terrible voice..." "I don't mind... please? I love that song..."
Kelsi put her chopsticks down and began to sang the chorus part. "You are always gonna be my love Itsu ka dare ka to mata koi ni ochite mo I'll remember to love You taught me how You are always gonna be the one Ima wa mada kanashii love song Atarashii uta utaeru made"
Yi Quan just stared at her dreamily as she sang. She had an angelic voice... something in her voice made him feel relaxed. Something in the way she sang have caught his attention... "I have a terrible voice, don't I?" Kelsi said. Yi Quan shook his head. "No... it's very... angelic..." Kelsi just blushed as he said that. "You really know how to flatter a girl..." she said in a low voice. Yi Quan just smiled at her.

They were heading home, when it began to rain. "Hey, Yi Quan... have you tried playing in the rain when you were young?" Kelsi asked him. Yi Quan looked at her and shook his head. "I have always been sick when I was young. I wasn't allowed to go out when it rains..." he answered. It was sad, Kelsi thought. She remembered when she was young, she and Jeff would always go out and play in the rain. "Why don't you stop the car for a while. Quan..." Kelsi asked. Yi Quan gave her a startled look. "Just stop the car. You trust me, right?" she said again. Yi Quan nodded his head and stopped the car in the middle of the road.
Then, Kelsi opened the door and went out. "Hey! You know you'll be sick doing that!" Yi Quan shouted at her. Kelsi looked back at him and smiled. "Come on! This is fun!" "But Kelsi..." "Come on... please?" "It's raining..." "But can't you see, this is where the fun is! Come on!"
Yi Quan obliged and went out of the car. He watched as Kelsi played in the rain, feeling every drop of waters at the palm of her hand. Then, she looked at him, and began to approach him. "Feel the rain..." she said as she held out her hand. "Isn't this wonderful?" she asked. Yi Quan nodded his head. Unlike all the girls he met, Kelsi is different. She could be both serious and playful at the same time. She's like a little kid. And most of all she knows how to appreciate the little things around her.
Before he knew it they were already playing tag under the rainy sky. He was trying his best to catch Kelsi, but she was tricky. Then, he finally caught her. Both of them laughed at their childishness. As their laughter died down, he smiled at her. Kelsi looked into her eyes and smiled back. Then, he moved closer to her face. Closer and closer... too close that he could almost feel her heartbeat raising. He closed his eyes, their noses touched. He wanted to brush his lips against hers... but he controlled himself not to.
He broke away from her. He didn't want her to think that he's some kind of a pervert. "I'm sorry..." he said to her. Kelsi was disappointed. She thought, maybe Yi Quan was feeling the same way for her, but she was wrong. "Maybe he's still in love with Ah Sa..." she thought. She forced a smile to hide her disappointment. "I'm sorry too..." she whispered. "I... I think we should go home. I still have a duty at the hospital tomorrow morning..." she said in a formal tone. Yi Quan nodded his head, and lead her to his car.

That night, Yi Quan can't sleep. He was thinking about that moment when he almost kissed Kelsi. "What does she think of me now? Will she avoid me?" he asked himself. Wanting to know the answer, he grabbed his mobile phone and called Kelsi.
Kelsi on the other hand, can't sleep as well. The guy of her dreams almost kissed her... but why didn't he do it? Then her phone rang. She took it, and found Yi Quan's name falshing on the screen. She immediately answered it. "Hey..." she heard him say. "Hello..." "Kelsi... about a while ago... I'm sorry... I just don't want you to think that I'm some kind of a perv..." "I understand, Quan. I perfectly do..." "Am I forgiven?" "Of course, you are..." "Then will you go out with me this Sunday? At the carnival?"
Kelsi felt giddy. It's another date with Yi Quan. "Yes... I'll go with you, Yi Quan...."
