(Author's POV)
7am
JEM arrived at the mnet building.
From afar fans screamed, "JEM!!!! ShinMi!! Jinmi!!! Minsyuk!!!" They waved their signs in the air to get the idols' attention.
Jaebum leaded the girls into the building and into their waiting room, "I'll be talking to the producers, and so don't come looking for me." He disappeared after dropping them off
"What a great manager." Minsyuk sarcastically scoffed and went off into the restroom.
Jinmi was stretching with Eunha. ShinMi was passing her time by scrolling on her phone. Seulra fell asleep the moment they arrived. Nami was keeping an eye on her creations, JEM's stage outfits. Insu had disappeared before the members stepped foot in the waiting room.
Insu: Be careful at the concert. If you trip, it'll be embarrassing for me.
Xiumin: You!? The media doesn't know of our relationship.
Insu: I know. But every dang idol does.
Xiumin: I'll try to trip a thousand times then.
Insu: Whatever.
Xiumin: Ah~ I can feel the strict Insu now. Nice to meet you!
Insu: Whatever... anyways I miss you.
Xiumin: I miss you more!
Insu: Have fun and don't stress.
Xiumin: You too. You looked beautiful in the new comeback video. But that wasn't the first time you took my breath away. The time in Thailand, you were also beautiful in that dress.
Insu: Awe... Thank you.
Xiumin: Okay gotta go. I'll be free tomorrow, call me then.
Insu: You might be tired... Well okay I'll see, see you later.
Insu walked into the waiting room and sat beside Seulra. She wanted to take a nap before the stressful variety show and music shows pop up.
When the waiting room was only JEM occupied, Minsyuk teased, "Were you talking to Xiumin? Xiuminnie!! Xiuminnie!"
Insu's eyes were closed but she was still able to listen and talk, "Yes. Hes doing rehearsals for the concert."
"I didn't ask." Minsyuk playfully growled.
Insu kicked her and grinned, "Are you jealous you got no boyfriend?"
Minsyuk rolled her shoulders and looked to the ceiling, "I don't want a hook up or whatever you're planning. I'm fine just bothering people."
EUnha jumped from her stretching position and squealed, "FOUR DAYS WE ALREADY HIT 18 MILLION VIEWS ON YOUTUBE."
Nami had finally tool her eyes off the creations and dramatically denied, "No."
"YES!" Eunha shone the phone in Nami's face, "YES!"
"I don't understand it. Life is just moving too fast for me. I need to rest." Nami lay down on the couch while setting her arm on her forehead, "30 million?" She repeated until she fell asleep.
Minsyuk snatched the phone and checked for any tuning Eunha might have done, "Did you watch the video 18 million times or what!? That's impossible for a kpop video!"
Eunha shrugged, "I only watched it on replay for a whole day... But that still isn't enough for 18 million!"
Bangtan Boys ran into the room with Jimin pouncing on ShinMi, "Did you see your video?!"
Shinmi sighed, "Yes. Eunha is screaming about it."
Jimin took a seat beside ShinMi and leaned against her arm, "You were really pretty in your new music video." He grinned.
ShinMi blushed and pushed his face away. "Whatever." After she had calmed down, "You looked the same as always."
He dramatically gasped, "That is not..."
Shinmi had to explain herself further, "Because you're hot and cute all the time." She was embarrassed to have to say those words.
Jimin understood and he expanded the meaning. He got of the seats and started dancing. Who knew what it was though, "Oh! So its like Hot and Cold. Sweet and Sour. I delicious cuz I bring two different sides of me to the table.
Nami scowled and walked out the room, "Its so obvious when idols are dating. I don't understand how people don't notice it right at the dot."
Jaebum came in with a paper packet, "We'll be called out at 8am for make up. Then 12 for the rehearsal."
Minsyuk stood up and started punching the air, "Okay then. That means we got no time for sleeping. That's like in ten minutes. Better get ready cuz you told us last minute."
At ten minutes, the JEM girls were called to make up.
Jimin dramatically snatched ShinMi's wrist when she got up to go, "I want you to stay."
Shinmi laughed and answered back while acting as Gabriella from High School Musical, "I gotta go my own way, I've got to move on and be who I am."
Jimin took his role as Troy, "What about us?"
She blew a kiss at him causing him to die a little because it was too cute. When he let go of her hand she skipped away, "I just don't belong here, I hope you understand." She finally broke her character when Jaebum rushed her out. Shinmi turned to her boyfriend and gave a dull expression, "But seriously, I'll be back in like no more than thirty minutes."
Jimin got on the floor and clawed as if he lost a leg, "But...but.... I'll be so lonely."
ShinMi gave a look to V. V sat up and mouthed to her, "Got it." V took care of Jimin when she left.
V put a foot on Jimin's back and jokingly kicked him to the ground, "YAH! We're going to the rehearsal right now anyways. You'll get to see her perform later."
Jimin was still sobbing with his face on the mat, "But... I want to see her now!!"
Suga groaned and walked out the room, "Oh brother. Shut up!" He led the other members out to rehearsal while V was still dealing with Jimin.
Jem was sitting in a row at makeup stands.
"Geesh... fans are going crazy about Chanha..." Eunha scrolled through comments on the photo shoot music video, she half jokingly and half seriously laughed, "Its funny how they can tell Chanyeol was one of the masked men. But so far no one suspected Jimin."
Comments:
XXxXX: Chanha lost its excitement when they actually became a thing.
TTtTT: Agree, its better when it's not real.
OOoO: Eunha has no decency for fans that have hearts unlike her
Insu snatched Eunha's phone away, "Just stop going on social media. Xiumin told me to stop, I did and I've been feeling less stress."
Eunha gazed at her unnie with wrathful eyes, "I need to see what I must improve."
Minsyuk was at the edge of the row getting her eye makeup applied, "You can't adjust your feelings to the way they want it anyways. People just don't understand that idols have emotions too..."
Eunha was at an awkward position as she continued reading.
Comments:
FFfFF: They don't even go together. He's hot she's a piece of trash.
PppP: Chanha should seriously stop. They are not helping the world.
Nami patted her shoulder, "Remember, that's only ¼ of the people who actually think you're on fleek so don't stress yourself."
Eunha laughed off the stress and turned her phone off, "Maybe if I call Chanyeol later he might know how to cheer me up."
Shinmi and Jinmi sarcastically scoffed, "You just want romantic and cutesy compliments from him."
"Yup! But that's a way to cheer me up."
Jem returned to the waiting room after prepping their clothes and faces.
Jimin was sitting in a chair and turned away from ShinMi. Her jaw-dropped and she looked at others for help.
"You lied." He pouted and huffed with his arms crossed, "You betrayed me."
Every time she tried to look at him he turned his chair the other way. With a grin she stepped back and talked to his back, "And how did I so called betray you?"
"I dunno. Ask yourself." Jimin decided to act like a brat just to simply gain his girlfriend's attention.
She heavily sighed and took a seat beside V. V felt the tension between ShinMi's dying patience and Jimin's kiddy acts. He got up and pushed everyone out the room.
"We can't keep going on with these lies." He murmured.
She laughed hysterically, but actually felt a bit hurt. "Jimin you're so annoying when you act like that. It's no fun."
He had finally turned to her still holding onto the bratty expression, "Do you think it was fun waiting for you to finish dolling up for two hours?"
She stood up and bonked his head, "Well it's not my fault I have to take forever! You think I like sitting there!"
He smiled and stood up. Jimin opened his arms wide and waited for her hug, "Fine then. I forgive you."
Shinmi's hand came across Jimin's cheek and walked away with heavy feet, "I didn't even do anything!"
He was faced to the right –the direction she slapped– and stood in shock, still trying to understand the situation. Did she finally burst? Is she joking? She just slapped me! He let out a grin and felt like everything was just fine. He just loved his girlfriend even more than he did a second ago. It was certainly Jimin's goal to experience all of Shinmi's attitudes and thoughts, it was his way of finding a path to bond and become closer.
Jem was called out to their performance and the stage was getting set up after the previous idol group stepped off.
Before the girls stepped up on stage Nami huddled the girls together, "Okay, if these outfits get uncomfortable for any reason, Cough cough Minsyuk, do not rip it or tear it to fit your liking! I put a lot of work into this! If it gets ruined once more, I'm done, just done!" She left the huddle first and stepped on stage.
Minsyuk hollered, "No promises!"
"AHhhhh~!" Deep screams and high-pitched screams from both genders hit the members' eardrums, "JEM!" Fans started screaming out their favorite JEM member, but the idols couldn't hear the calls.
The girls stood at their position. Eunha was near and heard Minsyuk murmur, "This damn dress." Eunha eyed Minsyuk's hands that were fiddling and on the verge of ripping the fabric off the dress.
Ripping the stage costumes had become Minsyuk's infamous specialty. Fans were always watching Minsyuk to see what she'd tear next.
Eunha whispered to herself, "Don't do it. Don't do it."
Before the music started Minsyuk looked around and started tearing the seams of the dress.
Eunha groaned and looked over to Nami. Nami's face was twitching all around while glaring at Minsyuk.
When the music started playing the fabric was off to the side of the stage.
"{Seulra} I wanted to see, dream if we were to be a thing.
{Insu} But this Mirror shows someone I cannot to be, How am I supposed to be free with you?
{Nami} If im not free with myself, Everything that I am is shown on my reflection
{Minsyuk} Oh. 100 percent of hypocrites rule the world. We can't reveal ourselves without the stabs. Love will never be uncovered.
{JinMi} (Mirror Mirror On the wall whos the truest of them all)
{Eunha} I'll show you, Yeah show you, sh-show you.
{Jinmi} (Mirror on the wall whos the realest of them all) 2x
{Eunha} I'll show you, yeah show you, sh-show you.
{Shinmi} The truth will begin. Standing over the world, hands held together. Walking through the mirror to only see ourselves smiling"
JEM's performance ended with applause and cheers. The members stood alongside each other and bowed, "Shining like JEM! Hello! We are Jem! We hope you continue supporting our comeback song Mirror and full album Fantasi! Thank you. Fighting!"
After another bow they exited the stage. Nami was pulling Minsyuk's ear and tugged on the dress, "Might as well just go naked!!!"
Minsyk was whimpering and begged for help. But the members avoided eye contact with Nami and Minsyuk. "Don't ask for help when you know what's coming for you!"
Jem was back in the dressing room and prepared for their first special stage performance.
Bangtan interrupted the girls with a knock, "So we're leaving now for other promotions. See ya later."
ShinMi and Jimin had acted as if nothing had happened; they hugged out their problems and he softly pecked her temple before stepping out the room.
In a matter of time, Jem was called out for their other performance, which was quickly done. The girls packed into the dressing room again to clean up. Nami fiddled with her fingers as she plopped on the couch, "Do you think we'll get the a win this week?"
Insu started diligently cleaning up the cups and other mess, "I'm not sure. Fans may be feeling a bit angry. We've been caught up in a lot of drama for a rookie girl group."
Minsyuk heavily sighed and stretched her whole body out on the floor mat, "Why does it seem like we've been idols our whole lives. But we're barely getting started."
The girls had become exhausted after days of practice and their lethal diets that were starving them. "Lets just get back to the dorm and rest for today."
They grabbed their final belongings and stepped out the stuffy room. While all the girls were jumping into the van, Eunha waved bye to them, "I think imma go back to the company and work some more."
With a nod they shut the door and took off. She called for a taxi and rode to HS Studios.
Eunha looked at her phone to see if she had received any message from Chanyeol. No reply. Was this the relationship crisis other idols mentioned? But they were perfectly fine; Chanyeol and her simply had their own things to take of before they were able to see each other again.
She arrived at HS Studios and greeted the night security. Eunha made her way to the recording studio and opened up all her works. As she reviewed her work –Compositions and other things –they were losing their touch. Everything was revolved around heartbreak and betrayal. What had gotten into her? She trusted Chanyeol enough to let him be.
After going through all her works, it had been 1am. She looked at her messages and there was one from Kai.
KAI: Are you at your company?
EUNHA: Yeh, Where've you guys been?
KAI: Well I'm at the company practicing, want to meet up?
EUNHA: Don't got a ride lol Hangry
KAI: lol I'll come by to get you. But it'll be your treat.
EUNHA: Okey dokey.
Eunha patiently waited thirty minutes until called out. He honked his car and beamed his lights at her.
She growled like a cat and jumped into the passenger seat. Eunha looked back and expected to be surprised by Chanyeol, but it was just she and Kai.
Kai looked back with her, "Chanyeol was called to do a show at China with some other members. Don't worry he misses you a lot. This is from him." A bag was pulled out from behind Kai's seat.
A cute white and gold bag with coral tissue on the top surface, she dug underneath it and found a card of his face.
I opened it and a recording played, "Hello!! It's your oppa!! Sorry I couldn't come see you. But don't worry! We'll meet soon promise! This card is cute isn't it? I know it is. Don't miss me too much okay? Love you!"
She smiled but felt a chill come up her spine. She put the card back in the bag and felt something hit the back of her hand. She reached for it and pulled out a box. A red velvet box was opened and anklet showed. A note fell onto her lap and she read, "I transferred my good luck onto this anklet, wear this on your performances and you'll win wherever! Love you!"
And yet again, she smiled but cringed. Eunha laughed, "Enough with the love yous!"
She set the present down at her feet, "Alright! Im hungry now!"
Kai drove out the parking lot and they were on the freeway. "So where we going oppa?"
He hollered, "PHO!"
She jumped in her seat and widened her eyes. After a full minute she hit him recklessly, "Just because I'm Vietnamese you're taking me there?! I like other things too!"
"YEAH YEAH YEAH! I'm driving!!!" He slapped back but missed. She calmed down and crossed her arms. He chuckled and kept his eyes on the road, "I was thinking you'd be missing home so this is the closest to your grandparents' cooking. Luckily I found a 24/7 pho restaurant around here."
She was happy he put effort to choose something of her liking. "And don't remind me that it'd be better if Chanyeol was here. Can't I have some time with my little sister?"
Eunha grinned, "Sehun would've been better."
The car jerked at the red light, "Get out." He stared at her then started reaching to open her door, "Get out get out get out!"
She slapped Kai's hands and pointed to the front. They drove to the Pho restaurant and called for two seats.
"Right this way." The waitress had a smirk all over her face.
Kai and Eunha worriedly looked at each other. Eunha pulled her phone out and tapped on the waitress's shoulder. She looked at Eunha with jaw dropped, "Ye-yes?"
Eunha wrote on the waitress's notepad, "I'll give you my number if no news come out about this. But its not like we're on a date, okay? When Exo or Jem go on a world tour, I'll give this whole restaurant tickets to the Seoul concerts. Promise?"
She nodded, "Promise."
Kai took a seat and before Eunha took a seat, "Oh and also, If my number gets out anywhere, the deal is off." The waitress left at a wink.
Kai and Eunha looked at each other and sighed, "When will idols just go out in peace?"
Eunha picked up a menu, "Tell me about it." They ordered two bowls of Pho and waited. Eunha received notifications of articles that included her, JEM, and Exo rang from her phone.
Kai tapped his chopsticks in front of her, "Just ignore it. It'll just stress you out even more."
She set her phone off and put on a smile, "Everyone has been telling me that, but it's just not that easy."
She slumped her shoulders and sighed, "What if they say Chanyeol is cheating on me? I wanna be the first to yell at him."
He raised a brow in disbelief, "You really think he'd cheat on you?"
"No! But im just saying, I'll yell at him for being foolish and making things seem that way."
Kai nodded, "You really are something. Anyways, how'd your first comeback stage do?"
She put thumbs up, "Great. Minsyuk got Nami mad again. Cuz she did her oh so famous ripping of the outfit."
Kai laughed hysterically and clapped his hands, "Expected!"
The food came out and the fragrance was fresh. Kai sat forward and had his face up close to the bowl, "Ahh! Delicious!"
The meals were complete and they were stuffed. Kai loudly burped, "Ah that was good!"
Eunha growled, "That's disgusting! Oh... wait..." She felt a clog in her chest. She hit it twice and let out a louder burp.
Kai chuckled and sat up, "Really. Imagine if the world saw that. Alright let's go, before I get yelled at by your members and Jaebum."
The bill was paid and the idols bid bye to the owners, "Thank you!"
The waitress was literally melting as she got to hug Kai. And he cooed a little shush in her ear and grinned. And a girl had fainted in her parents' arms.
"Bye bye!"
The idols got in the car, "Thank you oppa!"
Eunha hugged his arm but Kai scowled, "What are you saying thank you for. You supposedly forgot your wallet and it's rude to leave the bill unpaid."
She let out a sharp hiss, "Can't even enjoy a nice moment."
They drove off towards JEM's dorm.
Eunha dozed off for most of the time....
Thirty minutes later
Her head banged on the window and the seat belt jerked her back. She was choking when she became fully awake. Her eyes were dilating to the darkness they were in, "Kai? Kai!?" She looked at him.
He was wide eyed and hands shaking.
"Kai!? Hey! Get ahold of yourself!" her hands shook him viciously.
He slowly turned to her, "Are you alright?"
She nodded, "Yes. What happened? Are you okay?" Eunha grazed his cheeks to see if he had gotten hurt.
"Perfectly fine."
They both calmed down and it allowed her to sit back and breathe, "What happened?"
"A car came speeding pass on the this side of the road."
"What?!" Eunha shot up and looked behind them.
"Their gone. Probably drunk drivers. I was lucky enough to have had swerved away or it would've been a head on collision."
"But we should call the cops! Who knows who might be on the same road! Can you still drive? Or should I call Jaebum?"
Kai shook it off, "I'm fine now. Lets just hurry up and get you home..." He shook his nerves and stepped on the gas again.
IDOLS CAUGHT IN MINOR ACCIDENT
Two international idols suspected to have been victims of a minor crash after having been on a date near a restaurant location. They are to be revealed later after their companies respond to the press.
Update: The idols are revealed to be Eunha from JEM and Kai from EXO. Fans are having a craze over Chanha and Kaiha. Exo-ls are framing her of cheating; HS Studios is still to respond.
Comments:
Y: That cheating wh*re!!! We should have never trusted her with Chanyeol.
J: A pest has infected our happy virus.
O: I hope Kai is okay. Should've let Eunha burn to ashes.
G: So disappointed... Right during JEM's comeback too. She always has to ruin things.
