#122 "Who is Joshua Hong?" (part 2)

"Ahhh so, you are the one who helped Joshua hyung when he got lost?" Seungkwan asked.

Inside a small  house made from hut and shacks and located somewhere  up at the mountain, the five members of a popular Kpop band SEVENTEEN; Jeonghan, Joshua, Woozi, Dokyeom and Seungkwan are sitting on the wood floor together with their driver and a girl who doesn't know them.

"Yes. This girl helped me, Joshua explained. "After you abandoned me," he added in sarcastic tone.

"Hey, we did not. We just thought that you are sleeping inside the van. Can you imagine how shock we were when we found out that you weren't there?" Dokyeom exclaimed with detailed actions.

"Then what's that kiss?" Jeonghan asked.

"About that..." Joshua going to explain but the girl cut his words.

"That was not a KISS. It was a disaster. DI-SAS-TER," she pointed.

Woozi wanted to laugh of how a tanned girl, who is wearing an ugly clothes and tied up her hair like how those old lady does, denied the fact that a guy as handsome as Joshua kissed her. He thinks it is really funny.

"R-Right. It was an accident," Joshua agreed, but his cheeks are unexpectedly blushing.

"What are you?" The girl suddenly asked. "I noticed that your hairs are all in different colors."

Because she seems a girl who aren't interested even if they tell her that they are singers, Seungkwan almost spill their identity. "Ahhh. Actually we are singe-" But Joshua covered his mouth.

"Just a bunch of guys who wants adventure. Ha-Ha!" Joshua lied.

The 5 guys, including their driver, realized that Joshua wanted to hide the fact from her. So they just shut their mouths.

The girl nodded and tend her eyes to Dokyeom. He plugged his charger to the socket to charge his phone. "$30. Pay me $30 for charging your phone," she announced and all of them looked at surprised Dokyeom.

"Ha? $30?" Dokyeom repeated while pointing himself.

"Hey miss! Isn't that too big?!" Seungkwan complained while crossing his arms.

"It's okay, just pay her," Joshua nodded.

"Coming from the man who doesn't want to spend his money," Woozi whispered regarding to Joshua's statement.

"Did she ask you to pay her too?" Jeonghan chuckled.

"Yes," Joshua pouted, and the girl didn't like how he acts like a poor victim here. "I need to pay her $80."

"WOAH! THAT'S TOO MUCH! HEY!" Seungkwan exploded and even stood up, pointing her.

"Can you just pay me and go?" The girl sighed.

"Rude. Hey how old are you?!" Seungkwan is ready to fight.

"Hey hey Boo," Woozi calmed him. "Stop. You are too lou-"

"Maybe older than you," the girl answered while pointing Woozi. "Kid."

Woozi smile faded. This time, it's Jeonghan who calmed Woozi by holding his shoulder and butting  in, "We will pay you $90. Dokyeom pulled out your charger!"

"Y-Yes hyung!" Dokyeom pulled out his charger.

Their driver took out a money from his bag. "This is our pay." He gave the bills. "Please don't tell this to anyone. Okay?"

"Ahhh. Does coming here is a secret? Then give me $50 for shutting my mouth," the girl gave them an evil smile.

Slowly, the vocal team looked at their driver, glaring.

After they payed the girl, the six guys went out of her house.

"Thank you for everything," Joshua bowed to her. The girl just nodded.

They are about to step away but...

"Grrrrrrrrr-" they heard a monster sounds from the dark woods.

Dokyeom and Seungkwan hugged each other while shouting, "waaahhh! What's that?!"

"Is that a tiger or what?" Jeonghan asked worriedly.

"Hoshi will be jealous if a tiger really appears," Woozi murmured while scanning the surroundings with heavy breath.

Joshua and their driver looked at you. "Miss, what's that?" The driver asked.

"Ahhhhh. I forgot to tell you. During this hour, a bear walks around the woods."

"W-What?!"  All exclaimed.

"Then does it mean that we need to stay here for tonight?" Driver added.

Suddenly the girl smiled again. "Sure. I'll charge each of you for $10. You are total of six. Then it's $60."

She is really an evil- they thought.

Because they have no choice, they accepted the girl's deal. They are going to sleep to the empty room. Though it is small, it's clean. And they boys are okay with it. On the contrary, the owner regrets this somehow.

She just can't sleep because the boys next room are too loud!

"Argh," she groaned as she sat up.

"Oh what's that? Where did you get it Dokyeom hyung?" Seungkwan voice that she heard.

"I saw this from the living room. Hey hey Woozi, play this guitar."

Guitar!

They are using it without a permission!

In range she stood up. She was about to open the door to complained but...

"We gonna make it shine~♪♩" the boys beautiful melody filled the room.

She was captivated, enough to stood there like a statue. It was the power of their voice that halted her and calmed her heart.

On the other side, Joshua just finished washing his face using the water he personally got from the river. When he is about to go back, he saw her standing in front of the door and listening to his members' song. A smile drew on his face. Joshua walked closer, saying, "Like what I've said."

She looked back at him in surprised.

"Isn't listening to this beautiful melody makes your heart beats? Right?" He shared, smiling sweetly.

It's true. It made her heart beats, so loud that she will get embarrass if someone heard it.

"I'm sorry for this. I'll get the guitar from them." Joshua opened the door so they got stopped from singing. "Guys, that guitar is out of limi-"

"It's okay,"  the girl said in low tone. "Use it as much as you want. But don't break it. I'll prepare that more than hearing your loud voice." Then she walked out from her own house.

They thought she'll gonna make them pay for it! But she did not!

"It looks like you can use it," Joshua chuckled before he followed the girl.

"What's that?" Seungkwan blinked.

"It is too intense," Dokyeom laughed.

"But the guitar is in a good shape. Although it's old. Maybe she is taking a good care of it," Woozi shared.

"Ahh, it must be an important item for her," Dokyeom gasped.

"Now I feel guilty," Seungkwan pouted.  

"Joshua followed her. Why?" Woozi asked.

"To explain?" Jeonghan guessed. "Or to flirt?"

"Eyyyy, that girl? To hyung? No way," Seungkwan laughed.

"No no. It makes sense," Woozi said as he plucked his finger on the strings.

"Hmmm. Don't  you know what Joshua's type?" Jeonghan explained,  grinning. "Someone who doesn't know him."

"Grrrrrrrkhajskksk," their driver snored.

Is it true? That Joshua might be interested to a girl he just met and to someone  who doesn't know his identity?

On the other side, for the second time, the girl is sitting on a chopped wood tree as she stared upon the starry night sky.

Joshua slowly approached her. "Not afraid to the bear?"

"Why did you follow me? I said it's okay."

"Ahhh. Well, I can't sleep." Then he sat beside her.

"Because the room is too tiny? I bet you are from a rich household."

Joshua couldn't deny that he is a rich kid from a wealthy family. Well, his father is a great businessman and her mother is an oriental doctor who lives in LA.

"The real reason is... I don't know. I just followed you," he answered.

"You guys... are singer."

"H-Huh?"

She met his gaze. "Are you famous?"

"W-Well." He avoided her gaze and scratched his nape.

"Well I don't care. You hesitated to tell me because you heard that I hate that job. So I understand why you lied." She went back looking at the stars.

"Then can I ask you a thing?"

"You are already asking."

"Ahmm, why do you hate being a singer that much?"

Of all the questions, she wanted to avoid it. But for some reason, she choose to answer. "My father has a big loan. So we escaped from the city and came here. He has a great voice and I really love how he sings for me so I could sleep. A friend offered him an opportunity to be a singer. Father accepted it with a promise that he'll come back after paying all his debts. Then he'll get us from here. However, he didn't come back.  Mother died without even seeing his face. And for me...for me... I..." a tear fell down. The girl quickly wiped it, afraid that Joshua might see how weak she is.

Joshua, after hearing her sad story, doesn't know what to say. For her to be alone, it must be hard to live. Now he realized why she acts like that: rude and cold as ice.

"So don't act Almighty who knows everything," she added.

"What if... your father needs help?"he suddenly blabbered.

She looked at him, confused.

"Being a singer is not easy. Many tried to be but in the end they failed. The money they spent has gone for nothing. Because the competition to be famous is like crawling inside the needle's hole. For me, I almost give up." He stared at her eyes. "What if your father is out there? Waiting for help. Hoping he could come back to see you again."

The tears she tried to hide rushed down. Like a river flows on the stream. She couldn't stop it.

So...

Joshua leaned closer...

Much closer...

And hugged her, tightly. 

However...

"What the hell are you doing? Let go," the girl marked, glaring at him.

He moved away as quickly as possible. If she is only one of his fans she'll react opposite of it! But she is not!

"I'm s-sorry," Joshua apologized, hands up.

Amidst of this, something is crawling on the bushes.

"H-Hey what's that?" Joshua hid behind her.

Before she could answer, a bear came out! And... hugged her?

"Mickey, I miss you!" The girl exclaimed while petting the big bear.

Joshua, who's butt fell down, mouth opened. What the hell is happening?!

"IS THAT YOUR P-PET?! THAT BIG B-BEAR?!" He pointed the bear with trembling hands.

The girl nodded. "Yeah. It is. I raised him since he was young."

"Then why didn't you tell so? It means he is harmless!"

"You didn't ask if the bear is harmless or not. You just ask if it is okay to stay."

"Woah. What a great scammer," Joshua shouted, inside his mind. Yes. Only inside his mind.

He stood up and asked, "did you say the bear on purpose to get more money?"

She answered in confidence, "Hmmm. Tourist here who got lost also stayed at my house overnight because of Mickey."

"So you let strangers to sleep inside your house? Even men? That's dangerous!"

She strangely looked at him. "Are you worrying about me?"

True! Why would he?!

He forged a cough. "Ahem."

"I'm ugly," she added. "They won't take an interest to me."

"No. I think you're cute."

They stopped for the moment and stared at each other.

This time, Joshua is sure. That she is somehow cute to his eyes.

The girl just chuckled as she pets Mickey. "This guy is crazy. Right Mickey?"

Joshua is crazy? Maybe. Crazy in love with someone he just met. Someone who doesn't know him.
