Fan Meetings

So, what's a fangirl to do after being sick on a trip and after a fanmeeting? Well, what else, but blog! The following was previously published at my personal blog. Many thanks to early commenters!

It was my first time ever to fangirl half the world over and it was quite an interesting experience. The Tokyo humidity was making it a rather very peculiar day and I can feel that everyone's moods, the actors and audience, were dampening because of the heat and muggy clouds. Well all that aside, I want to try and remember everything that happened but since I didn't write notes I just want to write about the general feeling I had observing these two people - Jang Keun Seuk and Park Shin Hye. After all, I understood neither Hangul or Nihonggo, so I was basing it all on body language.

So before I spazz, criticize, observe, analyze, I must first give credit where credit is due. Many many thanks to Mee Xiong and the mods and admins of Park Shin Hye International Community (http://www.parkshinhye.org) for letting me and my mom take two of the tickets for the fanmeeting they had secured. I'm sure there must be other people who would've wanted to watch both sessions but had to give it up for my mom and me. So, for that I will be eternally grateful -- for the chance to meet new friends and for the opportunity to experience this at least once in my lifetime.

And here are my observations --

- Park Shin Hye and Jang Keun Seuk were both beautiful people - inside and out. As I've always observed with Shin Hye, she is a very transparent person - can easily radiate warmth, sweetness in the room around her. I found Jang Keun Seuk to be jovial and does exhibit a certain leadership in his interactions with Shin Hye.

- Singing Still in the intro, Park Shin Hye came in with Jang Keun Seuk. She was a bit shy at first but was trying her best to get out of her shell and mingle with the fans. I felt there was something that happened in that 2 PM session or prior the 2 PM session that rendered Shin Hye out of her element. She was not super perky but she did try very hard, and there were emotional vids that can bring her close enough to tears.

- Jang Keun Seuk was being a gentleman throughout the whole session. It seemed as if they were close enough to each other that he knew and understood what she was going through and was helping hold her up to be at her best for this outing. Keun Seuk can be transparent too as we all know, but he didn't show any sign of being annoyed. Very supportive. Every inch a leader.

- Was there distance between the two friends? I didn't feel it in this session. It seems they have a very solid friendship where one can hold the other up as needed. The sweet parts where Keun Seuk would tease Shin Hye or when they would spazz together over videos of great scenes show me that there's a unique bond between them.

There was a part after her dance number when she looked like she was saying that her long boots was making it difficult for her to dance. And Keun Seuk was pointing out at her legs. Since I don't understand what he said, I took the body language to say that Keun Seuk was teasing her for being shy to show off her legs. That kind of banter really lit the room up.

-Did they reveal anything about what their relationship was exactly? This is where I sensed the most tension. The crowd in the auditorium was majority Jang Keun Seuk's fans, and as I tweeted it felt like the crowd was 9:1 JKS fans vs. Shin Hye's fans. Maybe that's an exaggeration but it did feel like that. Yet, even in the midst of Keun Seuk's very loyal fans, he was looking out after Shin Hye. Letting her speak first when the questions were directed at both of them. Listening to her when she spoke and answered questions for her. Played to the tune of the same music with her when they were watching the scenes, and at times even spazz confidently for the both of them, even if Shin Hye was being careful.

I think she had good reason to be careful since Keun Seuk is very adorable and definitely a ladies' man. Showing lots of affection towards each other was sure to attract the ire of some uncompromising Eels (term for Keun Seuk's fans). So, Shin Hye was trying to play safe. Keun Seuk played along for the most part, but when appropriate stood up for the both of them to enjoy reminiscing memories from the drama or in shipper-language, to show the world where his heart belonged. He provided her the necessary confidence boost whenever she looked "off" during the session.

-Singing "What Do I Do?" - I had a feeling this was a very important song to sing for the perfectionist Jang Keun Seuk. Coming on the heels of a rough attempt at this song from the Hong Kong FM last week, he wanted this particular version to be perfect. He had reason to because they were made to re-enact the drama finale after his singing. It was a delight for the fans - his coming off-stage to meet Shin Hye in the audience.

-Individual performances in the 2nd half. I am proud of Park Shin Hye in her particular medley of performances. She danced gracefully. She sang like a nightingale. She was glowing. But I did see her eyes being a little nervous doing her performances. But during her solo interview after singing Lovely Day, the confident Shin Hye was in the room. She answered the questions in this warm, feminine way she always did in interviews while holding her head up as if she knew what she was all about.

-One thing I wanted to note is the choice of wardrobe for Park Shin Hye in the 1st and 2nd act. I didn't see Mi Nyu or Mi Nam for the most part, instead I saw Jang Keun Seuk's ideal girl. If you've been closely following this couple, you would know what I mean. Shin Hye was ever present as this renaissance-like, feminine, wavy haired girl that attracts Keun Seuk. I thought that if wardrobes meant something for couples, this could be your confirmation. The stylist made sure that in this outing the Keun Seuk-Shin Hye shipping crowd will remember that ideal picture. And if they are not genuinely in a close relationship, I wouldn't understand the need to do that.

-Keun Seuk's swollen wrist and Shin Hye left to high-five the fans. Although I do believe the Keun Seuk wrist thing, I also thought that it was good strategy for Shin Hye to interact with the crowd. Although some rude uncompromising Keun Seuk fans left and opted to miss the opportunity to shake her hand (good riddance to them), I thought that Keun Seuk taking a backseat for this fan interaction was something only a great friend would have suggested. In Shin Hye's first international outing and with the disproportion in fans to consider, Keun Seuk took the high road by opting out. It gave Shin Hye a chance to shine and be in touch with her fans and others who can be her fans. And she did not disappoint, she was very pleasant high-fiving people and shaking her fans' hands (myself included). The "Thank You" in English she gave me as she shook my hand was a super treat. It made all the humidity and the exhaustion and the trouble all worth it.

So, was Shin Hye sad? Well, maybe photos I took were from the wrong angles, but her eyes do give away a little bit of that vibe in photos and videos. Probably tired from Cyrano Agency shooting. Probably not liking the humid weather (I can understand this!) But if there was a legitimate sadness about it, I would probably attribute it to the need to reminisce some memories she comfortably tucked away. If you all remember, she had some cooling off period from her Go Mi Nam character early in the year. Likely at that time, she didn't know she would be asked to relive it somehow again six months later. And perhaps the memory of that struggle dampened her mood. Yet, she is quick to pick up on her feet as she felt secure around Jang Keun Seuk -- like someone respected, adored, understood.

Overall, for a first fan meeting amid annoying weather in a foreign land with a foreign language, this has been a memorable experience worthy of 4 stars (I'd give it 5 if I didn't have gripes, but I did and I don't like to talk about gripes).

Will I do the same craziness again? (As my mom's eyes read as she saw me crazily spazzing right after my camera got whisked away for disobeying rules)

Without batting an eyelash, Yes.

After taking a few breaths to think straight, yes, but I must apply lessons learned for the next one.

Park Shin Hye and Jang Keun Seuk, for being beautiful, for doing beautifully to make this a worthwhile experience, kamsahamnida!

Tokyo, you've been rough, but not entirely forgettable. You've taught me a lot. And for that, I'll forever associate you with being a fan, being crazy, taking risks and going out of comfort zones. And if you know me, that's not entirely a bad thing.

Hi Followers (and lurkers)!

See ya soon!

Thanks,

Believing

They sit next to each other over dinner. That has been their habit now every time they dine together.

They meet to review the set list and program for the upcoming A.N.Jell FM. Wanting to spend the most time as possible with her prior to beginning filming for his "Pet" movie, he scheduled twice weekly meetings with her to go over the plans for their reunion FM in Japan. "Oppa, isn't that a little overkill?" she tries to debate with him about the sense of doing multiple meetings for a fan meeting that will only last one day.

Shin Hye-a, do you not want to make this FM great for all the people who will be there? They are spending a lot of money for this. They even fought tooth and nail to get tickets, which if you don't know yet, is already sold out. Keun Seuk reasons to her. She sighs, obviously defeated.

He reaches for her hand, And besides, I want to cherish the available time we have before I start filming the movie.

She squeezes his hand in hers. "Ah, so you can remind yourself as much as possible to ignore Noona and remember me?" She tells him playfully.

He rolls the pasta on his plate and feeds it to her, Just eat. You know I don't need reminders now. I know where my loyalty lies.

In between chomps of the pasta she was fed, "I know. Oppa, more than you know." She gives him a huge grin.

Keun Seuk is getting very anxious with how Shin Hye is taking their situation. In front of the cameras and under the klieg lights, he projects this cool and adorable person, who has no cares whatsoever, especially about his lovelife. But when the cameras stop rolling, he goes home and worries about how Shin Hye interprets everything he says. Can she really read between my lines? Can she really understand? he often catches himself thinking. And for that evening, he just wants to clear the air about this if he could. He's just waiting for the right opening to ask.

"Oppa, I find it really awesome that this many people are still clamoring to see us together" Shin Hye tells him, pondering over the sell-out fact. Wae, I guess they want to really see us share the same stage and directly ask you the questions they've been asking me about you. He tells her, as if lecturing her.

"I wonder though, who are we going to be for the fans? Should we be ourselves Keun Seuk and Shin Hye or Go Mi Nam and Tae Kyung?" Shin Hye asks.

That's actually a good question. And what do you think the answer should be? he replies.

"I guess we can be the best versions of these two selves. I can be the Go Mi Nam that most resembles me as Park Shin Hye. That way I won't have problems purging the character out of my system. And at the same time, this will be believable enough for the fans." Shin Hye declares and chuckles a bit.

Are you telling me that sometimes you still think of letting go of Mi Nam? Didn't we already talk about this before? Keun Seuk asks concernedly, and seeing this as an opening for his nagging question, he continues by asking Are you still finding it hard to grasp the concept of "us" right now? Are you still thinking that we are just acting out our characters?

"What makes you think this, Oppa? I only meant what I said as a joke. Jeongmal mianhae if you felt otherwise. " She says squeezing his hand that had been resting in hers for a while.

Well, I'm glad that's how you feel right now. But I'm more concerned with how you feel in general. In public, I don't get to ask this to you straight up, but during moments like this, I feel we still need to discuss it. It's like this giant elephant in the room. And it's bugging me a bit sometimes. Keun Seuk tells her honestly.

He continues telling her. I've always prided myself in being very open with relationships. That's why I can't keep my mouth shut obviously. So, ours is a very new situation for me. Because sometimes I feel we spend too much effort trying to keep it from view than the effort we need to be making celebrating it.

"I know, Oppa. This is a delicate situation. It's new. It's tough. It's challenging. But I signed up for this too, didn't I? I knew what I was up for. And I'm taking that challenge by the horns." She tries to assure him.

He smiles a dry smile, still not at ease. He wants to do more for her. And his heart aches a bit that he is limited to do just that, not for his own sake but more for hers.

She lays her head on her shoulder, squeezing his hand, twiddling the table napkin with her other hand. "My Oppa thinks too much. What can I do?"

I guess, Shin Hye, your silence sometimes frightens me. Although most times I can tell from your eyes, I still am not sure whether you're keeping anything in. And I want to make sure I address those, it's the least I could do. He opens up to her.

"Oppa, I am quite known to be an open book as you as well. I just express it differently, maybe by writing, capturing photos and what-nots. Lately, I have been silent as well about matters like this. And, you know why? Because my heart rests in this calm place. I am content." She tells him.

Keun Seuk looks at her, searching for the truth in her eyes. He finds it and warmth envelops his heart seeing and hearing this.

She continues, "You can tell them whatever you have to. You can act however they tell you to. I will understand, because I know the truth. And since my choices are the only things I have control over, I choose what to believe. As always, I only believe in what I know."

He looks at her, set at peace by the serenity marked on her face. She looks him straight in the eye to ease his anxiety. "Oppa, fans may get confused on what they will have faith in. Antis will always have their doubts. As for me, I can say that you have endured enough and earned my trust. I have faith in you. I believe in us. Let my silence attest to that."

She leans her head on his shoulder again as they sit together quietly for a while. With his worries melting away from the stillness of the moment, Keun Seuk looks out the window and sees the moon shining its radiant light. He smiles in reflection. Like her, he also knows what to believe. And really, that's all that matters.

Excuses and Reasons

**Written as response to Raine/Jossa's "Wearing My Heart On My Sleeves" entry, here . Also my (earthprincess) unofficial debut piece for the Royal Deities -- a fun collaborative effort of KS2H's avid FF writers"

Oppa is intuitive. I guess he is confident enough of himself to know that it was hard for me to trust him. Actually, it still is difficult. He says he's doing everything he could to show me. He says he's doing everything to protect me. But if I am being honest, I will still admit that even through all this I take in every word he says with a pinch of salt. And I think I have a right to that, don't I?

The first thing that attracted me to Oppa was his self confidence. Tell me, how can an introverted girl like me not get attracted with that kind of flamboyance? It's like two opposing forces getting magnetized. He is the type to come into a room and expect all heads to turn to him. So my head did turn but at one point, in all wariness, I chose to turn away. Like my character in the drama, Mi Nam, I started out wanting to hide how I feel, just so I can protect myself from potential heartaches. But, wow, can he be one persistent dude.

When my name keeps slipping up in his outings. When he makes subtle gestures that are related to me, wearing pink, doing signs, drawing stuff that resemble me. My heart flutters, definitely. But still I wonder if I am merely a pawn in a chessboard he's trying to dominate. And I hate myself for thinking that, especially when he can be nothing else but sweet and kind to me. But sometimes I can still get confused. All the more so when his pursuit of me, and his efforts in whatever-you-want-to-call our relationship get mixed up with the relentless ambition he has of dominating the world. Sometimes I question his loyalty - whether he really is keeping mum of what we have because he is being loyal to me and wants to shield me from antis or whether he is being loyal to his fans by pursuing me, the lesser evil of all leading ladies he could get tied to. I can get greedy and ask for his full loyalty. But being in the same business as him, I can understand. Yet, still....

Sometimes I look at myself in the mirror and ask "Otokajo?" Must I listen to the beating of my heart, because right now, I am just literally being swept away. I haven't felt this way before. Even more so that the object of my attention is the one giving me attention back.

Or must I heed the rationality of my mind, that tells me to tread carefully and to give it a little more time? To maybe surround myself with wiser friends who can give me better advice.

And when my brother calls out from the living room to tell me that it was now time to drop me off to school, I snap back to reality. As I go about my everyday dealings, I slowly make the decision to just be myself and act according to what I think is right when it comes to him. Because simply, making excuses to avoid him, listing reasons to love him can literally take up my entire time.

So, go with the flow I go. Maybe win some and lose some. He may have part of my heart now but since I am still my own woman, most of my heart still belongs to the people who stood by me before he came into my life and to the people I know will stay, when, with all fear aside, he may go away from me as easily as he arrived.

So, Oppa, play and go about your way as you think you must. Don't worry about me. Innocent as I may look, I think I know how to handle you. Because right now I may come up with a thousand excuses to run away from you, but only one reason to stick with you. And that one reason measures up to the thousand excuses-- Chances happen only once in a lifetime. And because I want to live my young life to the fullest, I'll take this chance with you.

Picture of You

**Told from Keun Seuk's voice as could have been found in a secret diary the night of the Tokyo FM**

2010.05.29
Tokyo, Japan
1:00 AM

Tonight was a good night. Why? Because tonight I did not have to lie. Tonight the world knew what was in my heart. Tonight, using a whiteboard as both my canvas and disguise, I got to wear my heart out on my sleeve.

They could think it is fan service, since after all it is the first time for me to do this in public. They asked me to draw my ideal woman. But for some reason, in between explanations to the interviewer, I just couldn't look my eager audience straight in the eye anymore. For a moment in time tonight, the world just revolved between me, the marker and that board. I couldn't see anything else but the vivid memory of a girl that I met for a cup of coffee a few weeks ago. Or that of a girl who showed me how to dance to the beat a couple more other weeks back. Or that of a girl who came into my life many years ago and grew alive in me those chilly days last fall.

My drawing probably did not come out great but the art behind remembering is what matters most to me.

I drew someone that had big eyes. Like how your eyes look up to me inquisitively like discovering something for the first time every day. Or like how your eyes round up amid tears that pool each time you forgive me for my bouts of stupidity and arrogance.

I drew someone that had wavy long hair. When I remembered the distinct scent of flowers in your hair each time you rest your head on my shoulder. Or the strands I run my fingers through each time we lock ourselves in a tender embrace goodbye, good night or hello. Or when I remembered how frustrated you sound with the short locks you don right now, eagerly awaiting them to grow back to the long wavy hair you wore so proudly before. After all, I like what you love when it comes to how you look. Because frankly, I cannot find a day when I don't find you beautiful.

I drew someone that had a fleshy body and a long neckline. Well, other than the fact that this revealed the guy in me, I drew it as I thought of how delicate and soft you feel in my arms. The same softness that makes me want to shield and protect our love.

I drew someone with rosy and pink cheeks . Just like the way you blush each time I tell you a joke or just whisper sweet nothings in your ear.

I drew someone who dresses up in frilly romantic clothing. Just like how I think we probably met sometime in that Renaissance era, eons ago, aristocrats in love only to be reborn later to this time. For you to sweep me off my feet again with your grace.

Yes, when they asked me to draw my ideal woman today, the world was lost to me and it was only your picture in my mind. Yes, when they asked me to draw my ideal woman today, I drew a picture of you, no matter how childish my squiggle looked. It was you, could only be you.

They asked me to find someone in the crowd that matches my drawing. And because I was still in a daze thinking of you, I couldn't scan the faces properly and find any one who fits. And honestly, I wanted to tell them it's impossible to find her there, because you were not there, in that room with me.

I wanted to tell them that the woman I drew does exist somewhere and she's in a place I call home. Heck, at this time she is my home.

She is somewhere. Maybe riding her bike down the riverbank basking at the poetry of the moment. Or hanging out with familiar friends being her goofy self .

Or as always, just somewhere, tucked in a quiet corner of my mind and heart only to reveal herself when they ask me to draw again.

Love Blanket

This is for Novi. A tribute to K-Drama's best couples (according to us at least)-- KS2H and MinSun. If you are not a shipper, please read at your own risk. :p

Shin Hye asks permission from Keun Seuk to hang out with one of her favorite couples that day. Since the last Etude House filming, she hadn't spoken with or seen her Min Ho Oppa yet as the latter had been busy with filming his latest drama. Keun Seuk is aware of the closeness between the two and even delights in the fact that his supposed Hallyu nemesis is Shin Hye's close friend and good confidante. So, he obliged saying Can I hang out too? Shin Hye laughs, amused at his temporary state of envy. "Like you actually have time, Oppa? You're going to Singapore aren't you?" Shin Hye, it has always been my dream to meet Min Ho-ssi in a casual setting. This could be my chance. I want to tell him to tell his fans to like me too and I can do the same. That way I don't have to be comparing our crowd numbers in my fan meetings, since technically it is the same crowd Keun Seuk says matter-of-factly yet laden with a slight hint of sarcasm. He really doesn't fail to make her laugh and she finds him cute this way. But seriously now Shin Hye, definitely, please have fun hanging out with your other Oppa. Tell me how it goes, okay? But let me ask you this, just how many Oppas do you have exactly? And she pinches his nose and laughs again.

~~S2~~MS~~S2~~MS~~S2~~MS~~S2~~

She has spoken to Hye Sun before but only briefly when she hanged out by Min Ho's van when they were filming one of their CF. It was one of the first days of Min Ho and Hye Sun being officially together and Shin Hye can just feel the love between them. She had wondered that time when she would feel a love like that. Warm, tender, secure and comforting. She feels a tiny tinge of envy watching them since they seem to be able to weather the storm of having to hide their relationship from the media and avoiding the risk of antis. "Shin Hye-ssi, is there anything on your mind?" Hye Sun had asked then snapping her out of her musing. Her cheeks turn a little red, feeling embarrased to have been caught observing the two lovebirds. "Oh, nothing. Was I staring? Sorry, really." Shin Hye says apologizing for what she felt was an intrusion of their privacy. Hye Sun unnie smiles, "Don't worry. We didn't mind. And I think I can see what's in your mind. Shin Hye-a, trust me, someday you will find this bliss." And Shin Hye's heart fluttered a little at the thought of it, with Keun Seuk in her mind. "Someday. Will he be my someday?" She had asked herself then.

~~S2~~MS~~S2~~MS~~S2~~MS~~S2~~

It was a few days after the New Year and Shin Hye was suffering a mild case of separation anxiety from her Go Mi Nam character, but she had to film her lipstick commercial. Min Ho noticd the change in her. "Everything alright, dongsaeng?" She told him everything was fine. "You do know that your expressive eyes can't hide your heart right?" Min Ho called her bluff. She told him that it was hard to explain especially when seeing his own eyes sparkling with happiness then. It was his best year and his New Year was starting right, he had declared earlier. Shin Hye knew it was because of Hye Sun. And seeing all that she felt a little bit empty especially with her own confusion with Keun Seuk and Go Mi Nam and everything else.

"Keun Seuk-ssi is a loser if he loses you. I will tell you that much dongsaeng. But you'll be a loser too if you let him let you go just because you're afraid. What was your line in that drama of yours? Love is not love if you take away a precious person. Walk your talk Shin Hye. Sometimes you have to allow risks to be taken. Sometimes you have to make yourself vulnerable to hurt. And in all of those times, you will have people like me to get you back up when you fall. Can you trust that?" Min Ho offers some encouraging words to her.

"Kamsahamnida Oppa. I will try, but right now can I just feel like crap?" Shin Hye asks, her heart still in its pit.

"Okay, but don't take too long. For now, let's do this. Let's make you smile for the camera" Min Ho tells her as he pats her head.

Those were the days. How things have changed now. There had been times since then when she had run to Min Ho or Hye Sun unni for advice when she's trying to keep the real score between her and Keun Seuk under wraps. They had celebrated with her when she told them that she's been seeing Keun Seuk. And that they are somehow going strong. Telling them and being with them is like a secret hideout for her and she thought it always felt refreshing to have someone, actually a couple like them, who understands how this all feels.

~~S2~~MS~~S2~~MS~~S2~~MS~~S2~~

Shin Hye opens the door to Cafe Manolin and Hye Sun's brother-in-law tells her to just go straight up. The penthouse of the place was always Hye Sun's office slash date venue. She sees the two of them mulling over magazines over a cup of coffee and cake. She smiles, watching them silently again. Min Ho looks up and calls to her "Ya, stop staring and start joining us here. We're looking at your and Keun Seuk's latest Japanese magazine feature." Shin Hye turns red again. "You're looking good Shin Hye-a. He looks good on you and you on him. But tell me, what's with the handholding?" Hye Sun teases her. Shin Hye laughs at the comment. Her night will be fun. "Unni, shouldn't you be home packing for the BOF graduation thing?" Shin Hye points out. "Ah, come on, you're more important than my luggage." Without even noticing his absence from the room, Min Ho comes back with a cup of coffee in hand and a slice of cheesecake. "For you dongsaeng, seems you're finding your warmth and bliss now." Min Ho says handing her the cup and cake.

As the night wore on with their joyful stories, Hye Sun stands up from her chair and walks across the room to grab a package. "This is for you, now." Hye Sun gives the bag to Shin Hye. She opens the bag and sees a blanket. She looks up to her unni with a question in her eyes. Unfolding the blanket, Hye Sun wraps it around Shin Hye, "That got us through the early days. When love was fresh and we're wary and scared. Like love's symbol for us. Security. Warmth. Tenderness. Comfort. The same things your eyes were looking for that day back in the van. It's yours. Share it with the one that gives you bliss."


"Kamsahamnida Unni, Oppa." She says looking at both of them, overwhelmed and tears welling up from her eyes. Hye Sun hugs her, and just like that she can't wait to come home and tell Keun Seuk what they just had been given.

~~S2~~MS~~S2~~MS~~S2~~MS~~S2~~

On the phone while in Singapore, Keun Seuk asks Hye Sun how her hangout with her favorite couple went. "Oppa, we have been entrusted with something precious." she tells him as she recaps the evening. What is it? he inquires. "Look it up online. It's the one thing that crops up in all their BTS clips." she commands him. I think I know what that is. The heart blanket? Wait, they gave that to you? To us? Keun Seuk probes her. "Nae, it's ours now. We have to share it. It is their good luck gift for us." Wow, tell both of them I am extremely grateful and that I will keep my part of whatever this bargain. That thing always seemed to make them happy, comfortable and secure when they use it around each other. I'm sure we have to use it the same way? Keun Seuk catches on.

"Wow, my Oppa really is intuitive." Shin Hye says adoringly.

Hey, you always keep underestimating me. Okay then bring it the next time we get together. Actually, bring it next week when we film Garden 5. Let's see if people will figure out where they last saw that blanket. It's ours now. It's our time. Keun Seuk says as if reading what was on her mind.

Good night, Oppa. I'll see you soon. Shin Hye says on her side of the line, while clutching their treasured gift, feeling everything it represented in her own heart. Her someday had come.
