LEE HA EUN

"What do you mean?" I looked at Dylan while he keeps staring at them,
"Look at him."

I looked back at them, and he looks pissed off. He was glaring at him.
"I thought he likes you?" Kyung Hu unnie whispered to me while pointing at pissed off Jimin.

"He already confessed, I don't know what's wrong with him," I whispered back.
Her friend kissed her cheek, which made the two mom's giggled.

She hit his arm playfully and glared, but laughed anyway. The five of us went to them and bowed.

"Ha Eun there you are, this is Seoyeon friend. Joon Woo, Yang Joon Woo." Auntie introduced him to us.
"Hello, I'm Joon Woo. Nice to meet you." he smiled.

"Nice to meet you too." I smiled back at him,
"My nephew likes your group so much; he always watches your music video and performance." he laughed.

"Oh yeah, where is Minjae?"
"He's in Canada right now, and they went back to have a vacation."

Seoyeon unnie nodded

~~~~

"Ugh gosh."
"What did I do now?"

"Nothing."
"Why do you hate me so much." Baekhyun pouted.

"I don't hate you, and it's just... you sometimes hit my nerves."
"HOW?! ALL I WANT IS TO BE FRIENDS WITH YOU AND YET, YOU'RE MEAN TO ME?!"

"Stop acting like you did nothing. " I glared.
"Then what did I do?"

-flashback at Seoyeon's party-

"YoUr cOuSin, iS so meAn to mE! I, bYuN BaekHyun! WhY iS sHe lIke thIs to mE?!" I saw Baekhyun chatting to Seoyeon unnie but more like ranting.

"Ha ha ha, she doesn't hate you. She just doesn't know what to act towards you probably." She awkwardly laughed.

Baekhyun is drunk; he's wasted. I still have no idea why this birthday celebration has alcohol, but good thing the kids are in another hall because there are many adults here.

"BuT! I liKe hEr! AlL I wAnTed was hEr aTtenTioN!" Baekhyun sobs.

Seoyeon saw me; I can see in her eyes. She needs help, and she doesn't know how to deal with drunk people.

I mean, she can deal with drunk people, but they will end up fighting. And she might beat them up, but since there's a drunk idol right in front of her ranting about her cousin. She doesn't know how to respond.

"Oi, Byun Baekhyun." I walked up to them.
"Oh, lOoK sHe'S heRe! Ha eUn ah! I lIkE yOu so mUcH, buT you'Re so meAn tO mE!" he hugged my waist and sobs.

Both Seoyeon and I looked at each other, which his actions took us.

"whY cAn'T yOu lIke mE?!"

-End of flashback-

"Oh..."
"Now, you know it."

"I'm sorry, Ha Eun. I was drunk, okay?" He said and held my hand.
"It's not like you did something bad anyway," I said.

"But still! You might find me weird now; I'm so sorry for embarrassing you to your cousin," he said as he buried his face to my tummy.

"It's alright, just... Don't do it again."
"Okay, I will... sorry."

"Just remember if there's a party, do not drink. You got that." I glared down at him.

~~~~

"Who's this gift from?" I said as I checked the gift.
"From a fan, that's all. It was delivered here; that's why, but it does say on the note that's he's a big fan of yours," Manager Chul said.

"We got gifts too!" Rae said as she showed me some box also the others too, we get so many gifts from the fans, especially when it's a fan meeting.

I opened my box and saw a freaking dress, a pretty cute dress.
"I like it." I smiled.

"What's that?" Ji Woo asked.
"A dress, an adorable dress." I smiled as I kept staring at the dress.

"Manager Chul, can I wear this at the next fan meet? Or maybe if we following schedule in any shows?"

"Sure, but I have to ask Minhyuk hyung, " manager Chul said and smiled at me.
"Thank you."

~~~~

"Ha Eun! Let's go!"
"We'll be late!"

"Just a sec!" I said, and the makeup artist put a light lipstick on my lips.
"Okay, you're ready." She said and smiled.

"Thanks, unnie." I smiled back. I stood up from my seat and went out.

~

"Welcome to our show!"
"Ah, yes, thank you for inviting us!" Rae said.

"No, no, we should be thanking you girls. You girls are so busy, yet you let us interview you." The MC chuckled.

"Also, we want to thank SEVENTEEN for coming here too." The MC bowed at the boys.
"Thank so much too," S.Coups said.

"So we will only ask some questions, and you have to answer it, or you'll get a penalty."

Aw, I hate this game already.

"But what kind of questions will it be?" Jae asked,
"Anything, but no going off the limits."

"Alright then," Hoshi said.
"Let's begin."

~~

"So a question for Hanna, do you have a celebrity crush? Or someone you want to work with?" The MC said I looked around me, the girls sat properly.

I stared at the boys, and they were looking at me. All ears on me, even all the staff are looking at me.

"Oh... I'm too shy..." I said I don't want to say, 'Oh it's Bangtan,' 'Oh! It's EXO' or anything else. Let's maybe play safe, and tell my actor crush.

"Come on, Hanna! No need to be shy." Vernon said as he chuckled, I looked at Mingyu, he was smiling brightly.

Eh, poor child. He is getting his hopes up.

"Park Bo Gum." I smiled.

"Omg! He's really good looking!"
"I know, right!"

"Nice choice, Hanna-ssi."
"I truly want to work with him, but at the same time, I'm too shy!" I hide my face with my hand.

"But what kind of project you want to work with him? Drama? Movie? Minidrama? Show?" The MC asked.

"Dra-drama, romance drama.", I blush, I do want to work with him.
"Our Hanna-ssi is blushing!"

"Hahaha! She's so cute!"
"I want to pinch her cheeks so badly!"

"But is there any idol you like perhaps?" MC(2) asked.
"Idol?" I said, I looked at him, and he was staring at me.

"Female or male?"
"Both."

"Hmm... my female idol crush is... EXID Hani." I said.
"And for male... I got many, do you perhaps know Hwarang? The drama. The main actors, because they're so good looking and good at acting!" I said.

"Yes, and it seems like you're a fan of the drama." MC(1) said.
"Yup! I am a fan! And I like them so much!" I grinned.

"Ha Eun, that means you're saying that you like Taehyung too," Rae whispered to my ears.
"Eh?!" My eyes widen.

"The Hwarang boys, Park Hyung-Sik, Park Seo-Joon, Choi Minho, Do Ji-Han, Cho Yoon-woo, and Bangtan Kim Taehyung." MC(2) said.

"Woah, that's a lot," Jun said.
"Yeah..." Mingyu looked down.

"But does that mean you like Kim Taehyung. Also, since you two are in the same company." Here comes my mistake!

"Uuhh...."
"Well, you see, she just a fan of Hwarang. She even one time asked Taehyung sunbae if she can meet the Hwarang boys." Yong Soo nervously chuckled.

"Yup, she's a big fan of them." The girls chuckled.
"Ah, but that's great. At least maybe they boast your motivation up."

"They do," I said.

Yeah, because he's so friendly to me and sweet. Before, we were so awkward, but now we are close now.

~~~~

"I'm hungry!" I crossed my arms; the interview took about four hours. We are currently in the van, and manager Hyuk said that he'd treat us some food since the interview went well.

"Yes, yes, we are almost there," Rae said and patted my head.

~Minutes later~

"We are here," I woke up from my nap, and I stretched a bit cause I was hugged my small body pillow at the van.

"Let's go." We all went out of the van, and I looked up which made me stop walking,
"Oh, no..." I mumbled as my eyes widen from shock.

"Let's go, Ha Eun." Jae grabbed my arm s all of us went inside. We sat down at a long table and chairs.

NO ONE'S POV

"Waiter, please!" Jae raised her hand; one of the workers walked towards where you guys sat.
"What can I get- oh, ma'am! It's great to see you here." The worker said.

"Ye-yeah, hahaha." you looked down, trying to avoid their stares.
"Does she usually go here?"

"Yeah, they own this restaurant, all the Shinwa branch, they own it. Lee's family owns it, in this branch this restaurant, she is our boss." he smiled at everyone.

"Say what."
"Wait, you never know?"

"Come sit with us and tell us about her family."
"I'm not sure, and I'm not allowed to tell you unless she let me do it."

"It's alright you can tell us, right, Ha Eun."

You left them and went to the restroom, and you went inside to one of the stalls.

"Did you saw them?"
"Yeah! I can't believe that they are here!"

"Come to think of it, one of them is the sister of Lee Jong Suk. Right?"
"Yeah, she's pretty, but I think she's kind of annoying."

"I know, right! But like you said, she's pretty. But the thing is it seems like Bangtan is falling for her and even EXO! Remember, she had a scandal with Chanyeol, and then on the show where they were at the game show, X1 Yohan was so friendly with her. And then I saw them at the backstage since my friend works there and she invited me. I saw her being with NCT and SEVENTEEN. She's a h*€."
"Oh my gosh! Really?!"
"And there's more! I heard when one of the workers was talking to them, and I heard her family owns this restaurant but mostly all Shinwa branch."

"Wait, so that means they own mall, hospital, restaurant and more, the Shinwa branch owns?! Also, aren't they also handling the laws?!"
"Yes, and I bet she's a brat."

LEE HA EUN

My tears fell down, and I'm not a brat nor a h*e. I turn my phone off, and I was recording the conversation.

I wiped my tears away and went out. Once they saw me, their eyes widen.

"It is not nice to talk ill behind someone's back." I went to the sink and washed my hands.

"Ha-Hanna."
"Hmm?"

"Yo-you heard us?"
"We all heard you."

I looked at the door, and the girls were there filming us.

"Wh-what the! You know it's not nice to filming someone!"
"And you know it's not nice to talk ill behind someone's back, and mostly she's still young."

~~~~

"The rumor is going around."
"Yeah... at least PDnim took action with it."

"Yeah..."
"Ha Eun, come on. Don't listen to them. You are not what they said, sure you are rich, but it's your family."

"But you are not h*€ nor a brat. You are you, never listens to those people."
"I'll... I'll try." I smiled at them, but it's a fake smile.

~~

"Ha Eun, let's go!"
"Where?"
"To my heart." He winked.

"Sehun, stop it."
"Soorryyy~."

"Anyway, let's go."

~~

"Can I buy this?" I said and showed him a teddy bear.
"Yeah, sure, I'll pay for it." Suho took the teddy.

"No, no need."
"It's alright, I can pay this for you." he pinches my cheek.
"Maybe you can buy me this cotton candy." I grinned and showed him a pack of cotton candy.

"Of course." He chuckled, both of us looked for some stuff to buy, we were split into five groups. And I got Suho.
"So, you guys will be having a comeback. Oh, and I have watched the video, but I'm confused."

"Why? Why are you confused? Don't you like the concept?"
"I do! But it's a bit confusing, also why D.O, Xiumin, and Lay sunbae are not part of the comeback'"

"That is a secret." he winked at me.
"Hhhhuuuhhh? Are you serious, why am I not allowed to know it?!" I said as I crossed my arm and pouted.

"Because it's a secret, and no one should know it yet."
"That's not fair!"

"Oh yeah, I forgot. Now I know why you're acting like this you are a fan of ours, right?"
"Yes, yes!" I nodded.

~~

"Oh! Look, it's Chanyeol and Baekhyun!" Suho and I run up to them.
"What did you boys bought?" I asked.

"Well, some stuff." I looked at their bags and... it's all from a woman shop.

"Ah! You guys got for your mom and sisters, huh." I beamed.
"Yeah sure, mom and sisters... hahaha." They both awkwardly laughed.

"By the way, what is the best thing to give a present to a guy?"

The three of them looked at each other and then me.

"Your love and attention," Baekhyun said.
"I don't think he will like that."

"Who is it anyway?" Suho said.
"My brother, dad, and my friends. My friends are twins, so yeah and also maybe Yohan too." I shrug.

"Yohan," Chanyeol said.
"x1 Kim Yohan."

"How did you became friends with him?"
"Well, he's my sunbae on taekwondo."

"You went to taekwondo?"
"Yup!"

"Dang."

~~~~

"How was your outing with them?"
"It was fun!"

"Oh, and here, some gifts for you, girls." I handed them each bags that contain gifts like a small stuffed toy, cosmetics, fragrance, watch, and a coat.

"Thanks, Ha Eun! You're the best! Next time I'll give you a gift too." Soo Rin winked at me.
"Hahaha, no need." I smiled.

"Also, where are the boys?"
"Dance studio, second floor."

"Alright, thanks, Jae!"
"No problem!"

I ran out with my paper bag; I bought them some fragrance, watch, coat, and a small stuffed toy.

I went to the second-floor dance studio.

"Hey, guys!" I said as I opened the door, but someone was there... they were with someone, a trainee.

They look so happy, laughing and having fun with her.

"Oh... I guess I came at the wrong time." I said, and closed the door.
"Ha Eun, wait!!"

I ran to the fourth-floor dance studio and locked the door.

I texted my brother.

Ha Eun:
Oppa...
Are you home?

Best Big Brother:
I'm at the shooting.
Why?

Ha Eun:
Oh... alright, and it's nothing.

Best Big Brother:
Are you sure?
Did something happen?

Ha Eun:
You're busy right now,
It's okay. I'll ask someone instead...

Best Big Brother:
Lee Ha Eun.

Ha Eun:
I need to go. Bye, oppa.

I closed my phone and thought of who will drive me to my old apartment.

"... Should I ask the twins? Or EXO? I need to ask PDnim or the managers if I can go home..." I looked down at my feet.

"Ha Eun! Are you there!" I heard the door banging.

That voice... it's Hoseok.

I closed the lights and turned my flashlight on my phone to text someone, but I didn't say a single word.

Maybe I should just ask her.

Ha Eun:
Unnie, are you free?

Seoyeon:
Why? Do you need anything?

Ha Eun:
Well I got you some food, so
Maybe can you come to the company and
Pick me up?

Seoyeon:
I took my keys now, on my way.
Tell your PDnim or manager that I'll be picking you up.

Ha Eun:
Thank you, unnie!❤

SONG SEO YEON

"There's definitely something wrong," I mumbled as I stared at our messages.

"What's wrong?"
"Ha Eun texted me out of nowhere, saying she got some food for me."

"Maybe it's true? And want to treat you some food?"
"I don't think so." I sat down and laid my back to the chair.

"There's something fishy.." I mumbled.

~~

"So, your manager and PD let you go?"
"Yeah, I told them that you want to check if I'm all better now. And they were okay with it."

"So where you want to go?"
"I was thinking of my apartment, but I change my mind, can we maybe go to your office instead?"

There is something wrong.

"I don't know about that; I already took a leave. So it's fine, let's just go to your apartment." I said and drove to her apartment.

"Eh?! No need!"
"It's fine, and why you got so many paper bags?"

"Well, this is for you, some foods, stuff, and then for my parents and brother also the twins and Ella." She said and smiled.

"How about the others," I said.
"Well... for Bnagtan... but... they were buys... talking to someone." She grinned.

But that grin is a fake.

"Is it a girl?"
"Well... yeah, it's a girl, female new trained. Pretty girl, remember they opened another audition with another company?"

"Oh yeah, come to think of this. James got a contract with a modeling company; I guess it was an SM modeling company, and Ella is in The Black Label. And then Dylan is a Public Figure." I parked my car to her apartment.

"Really?!"
"Yeah, wait don't tell me they didn't tell you?"

"No, they didn't, "
"Oh, maybe it's supposed to be surprised, but... I think I spoil it now."

"Just act like you're surprised when they tell you."
"Why are you always like this."

"I DIDN'T KNOW OKAY"
"NO NEED TO GET ANGRY"

"I AM NOT ANGRY, I JUST DON'T KNOW HOW TO REACT."

~~

"Damn, this food is good." I ate the foods she gave me.
"I know right."

"But I still can't believe that I still have to cook it." I said and glared.
"Well I'm sorry about that."

LEE HA EUN

I miss talking with her like this, I haven't been talking to her because she was always busy with her studies and work.

But I think I did remember seeing Jimin... before with her, but I was still young at that time and he was still in high school with her back in Busan.

It's been so long, so I didn't really remember it that much. I saw her crying before and doesn't like celebrating her birthday.

Her friend did told me that they broke up at her birthday but I never know why she doesn't want to tell me.
