Chapter 22
BANZAI!
I picked up the phone. It’s an anonymous number. “Yobeosaeyo?”
There’s silence on the other line. After a while a woman spoke. <Shin-a??> I didn’t answer as I recognized the voice on the other line. <It’s me Ra Ra.>
Yoon Ra Ra. It has been a while. I think both of us had been busy in our own ways.
“Ra Ra,” I answered. I saw the hyungs stopped and turned to looked at me on the phone. “How have you been?”
A shaky laugh echoed from the other line. <Good. How are the oppas?>
I leaned on the counter as I stood awkwardly. “Jonghyun-hyung is pulverizing Yonghwa-hyung at the moment,” I looked down to where Minhyuk is, “and Minhyuk is at the floor, fast asleep.”
Ra Ra laughed bubbly on the other line. <Aish… so like them..>
I smiled timidly in answer, as if she could even see it. “Why did you call by the way?” The hyungs are now on my side, eavesdropping on the phone call. I try to shove them off with my shoulders but they’re stuck up with me.
Ra Ra didn’t answer for a while, like she’s thinking on what to say at the moment. <I was thinking of inviting you all out for dinner. Been so long since I’ve seen you four.>
I digested what Ra Ra said, and the hyungs waited for my answer. Yonghwa-hyung raised his eyebrows and mouthed “Yes! Yes!” Jonghyung-hyung also nodded beside me. “Would it be today?” I asked.
<If it’s possible… Yes>
“Eodi?” I asked again. The hyungs are now glaring at me, but I ignored them.
<****** Restaurant..> She answered promptly.
“Araseo. I’ll just tell the other hyungs then. We’ll see you there,” I ended the call, and the hyungs looked at me triumphantly.
“Been so long since I saw Grace,” Yonghwa-hyung said as he sat on the sofa. He poked Minhyuk on the butt. “Yah! Kang Minhyuk, wake up.”
We laughed as Minhyuk just moaned in answer. He’s really tired. We all sleep very late last night, since we’ve been preparing for the release of our fourth album.
“Yah, Kang Minhyuk!” Jonghyun-hyung tried tickle him but he won’t really budge.
“Aish jinjja… such a heavy sleeper. Yah! Kang Minhyuk!” I yelled. “Nee Sa’s here!” That did the job.
MInhyuk immediately sat up and looked around. He tried to smoothen his hair then, which sent us all laughing.
“Aigoo,” Yonghwa-hyung slapped him at the head to fully wake him up.
“Hyung… that hurts…” Minhyuk whimpered.
It’s a normal day for us again. After we finish breakfast, we would be heading to the practice room and play until afternoon. The only difference is that Ra Ra invited us out,which is not the usual.
I prepared our breakfast since the hyungs are too lazy to do it. They watched anime as they waited.
“Ah, did Aileen meet the chairman?” Jonghyun-hyung asked after plucking his guitar.
I shook my head in answer. “We were suppose to meet the chairman yesterday, but Aileen got a headache.” I need to check up on her now, it’s pretty late in the morning, she should be at the office then. “I think we’ll go together this afternoon. So, hyung,” I turned to Yonghwa-hyung, “would it be okay if I skip practice this afternoon?”
Yonghwa-hyung nodded. “It’s not like I can help it. The chairman has to see her very soon.”
MInhyuk went beside me and started taking out the plates in the cupboard. “You know, I dreamt that nuna came here this morning…” We all lauged at the no-idea-expression of Minhyuk. “She was violating hyung in my dream.” Aigoo, we literally went ballistic at what Minhyuk said. Except Jonghyun-hyung though.He’s just smiling timidly.
Minhyuk then stared at Jonghyun-hyung. “Hyung, it wasn;t a dream, was it?” Considering hyungs silence, MInhyuk stared wide-eyed. “She didn’t do anything, did she?”
Jonghyun-hyung pursed his lips and ignored MInhyuk’s question. Yonghwa-hyung is now laughing nonstop. Aigoo… I wonder if Jonghyun-hyung and Dae-In nuna are the real thing then.

FNC ENTERTAINMENT. HUWAAAAAAA!! Nanlalamig ang mga paa ko. Nandito kami ngayon sa harapan ng company na nagma-manage ng CNBlue at FT Island. HUWAAA!! Para sa isang fangirl??? DREAM COME TRUE TO!!!
Pero siguro nga din, dala ng mga unthinkable events na nangyari sa akin the last few months, kelangan ko nang maging mature sa pag-iisip at gawa. LOL. Di, seryoso na talaga to. Ayoko din namang magdala ng kapahamakan sa idolo kong banda.
Kasama ko si Lee Jungshin ngayon, at para umiwas na din sa mga mata ng tao sa paligid, medyo dumistansya ako konti sa kanya. Kung napansin nya man, di na sya nagtanong.
Halo-halo na talaga nararamdaman ko ngayon. Kinakabahan, natatakot, naduduwag, ewan ba. Natatakot nga siguro ako sa chairman nila.
Papasok na kami sa building nila, at bumabaha naman ng mga ideya utak ko. Pano kong sasabihan ako ng layuan si Shin, magagawa ko ba? Sabay abot ng pera sakin para lang umalis. AIGOOOO! Parang drama lang ano?? Haha! Gomen, nadala na naman ako sa imagination ko. Pero, kung yun nga, magagawa ko ba? Pinagmasdan ko si Jungshin, katabi ko ngayon at malalim din ang iniisip. Napabuntong-hininga ako.
Minsan naiisip ko na panaginip lang ang lahat ng ito, na para bang fairytale na nga ang dating. Napakaswerte ko na kasi, kaya naman mas naging kwestyonable na ng lahat. Ang nakakapanindig-balahibo naming first encounter (akalain mo yun, sa panaginip.), eksena sa Bluestorm (na halos ikamatay ko), eksena ulit sa airport (na halos ikamatay ko rin), tapos meeting sa Japan (na para bang trip na trip akong sundan) at ngayon naman, eto sa Korea.
Napahawak ako sa bracelet na binigay ni Shin, at napangiti ako sa ng maalala ang ginawa nya nung araw na binigay nya to sa akin. Sabagay, di ko nga rin ma-imagine na darating ang araw na to, pero kung malalayo man ako sa kanya, di dapat malungkot. HAI! GANBATTE! Ang maglakad ;ang na kasama sya, maka-usap sa phone, makakain ng sabay, mayakap, sobra-sobra na yun para sa isang tulad kong nagsimula sa pag-iilusyon.
Napatingin ako kay Shin ng bigla na lang nyang hinawakan ang kamay ko. Tumingin sya sa akin at napangiti. Kahit ganito lang Lord, masayang-masaya na ako.
AIGOOOOOOOOOO!!! ANG DRAMA KO!!! Gomen readers. Sentiments ulit ng isang FanGirl. LOL
Naramdaman ko na lang na humigpit ang pagkakahawak ni Shin sa palad ko. Di kaya kinakabahan din sya? Nandito na kami sa tapat ng double doors na gawa sa oak. Siguro nga ito na yung office, sosyal na kasi yung interior (Lol. Hanggang dito, nakikisingit parin ang interior designer within).
“Wait a minute Shin,” sabi ko. Huminto naman si Shin at humarap sakin. Ngayon, obvious na obvious na nga na nababagabag sya at the moment. Ngumiti ako sa kanya, at pinisil-pisil nya naman palad ko in return. “Whatever happens,” simula ko. “I’ll always be your fan!” Sabi ko sabay ‘hwaiting!’
Di ko na inantay na sumagot pa si Shin, kasi baka di ko na kayanin. Nangangatog na talaga tuhod ko at the moment. Binuksan ko na ang pintuan sabay bulong, “Come what may, Kami-sama.”
(A/N: Uwaaaa! Parang naging madrama ata ang atmosphere?? IIE! Hahahah!)
«♫♥♪«♫♥♪«♫♥♪«♫♥♪«♫♥♪«♫♥♪«♫♥♪«♫♥♪«♫♥♪«♫♥♪«♫♥♪«♫♥♪«♫♥♪«♫♥♪«♫♥♪«♫♥♪
“Whatever happens, I’ll always be your number one fan. Hwaiting!” The seconds those words were said, I know Aileen have been thinking a lot for this. I held her hand in mine, it’s cold.
As we entered the office of the chairman, Aileen released my hand and smiled. Right, we have to do things right today.
“Annyeonghaseyo Jung-sa jang.” I greeted.
(A/N: Sa jang=CEO; Jung is the last name of the chairman, purely imaginary. LOL)
“Ah, Jungshin,” The chairman said as he saw us come in. He turned to Aileen and smiled towards her. “You must Aileen.”
“Annyeonghaseyo Jung-ssi,” Aileen greeted as she bowed. If she was even nervous a while ago, she doesn’t look like one now. She’s smiling sweetly and very composed at the moment. “Yes, I’m Aileen. It’s nice to meet you sir.” Aileen switched back to English as she spoke towards the chairman.
“It’s nice to meet you, too. Have a seat.” The chairman indicated the sofa. We sat and waited.
“Daijobu?” I whispered towards Aileen. She turned to me, smiled and nodded. If she is nervous at the moment, I can’t see it.
“Tea?” The chairman asked.
Aileen shook her head in answer. “Thanks, but no thanks sir. I can’t drink tea,” I heard her say. I looked at her in question. She smiled nervously in answer.
“Jinjja? Wae?” The chairman asked as he sat down. I continued looking at Aileen, curious. She’s nervous. And I don’t know why. I knew instantly because she’s been clasping and unclasping her fingers again.
“Triggers some problems,” she answered. She looked at us back and forth, and must have seen the worry plastered on my face. She smiled immediately and said, “Daijobu ne. It’s not serious.” Sixth sense telling me it is. Now that I’m sitting with her like this, I realize there are a lot of things I don’t know about her.
Right then and there, I realized I have these affections for a complete stranger.
I just know she’s an interior designer, she likes blue, she’s born in spring. She’s our fan, she could be easily surprised, doesn’t like it and believe it when someone praise her for her looks…
Those are just the things I know about Aileen. Superficial. Have this feeling in my gut that there’s more to her than meets the eye. Maybe that made her more intriguing.
“Maybe, you’re wondering why I ask to meet you Ms. Aileen,” Jung-sa jang said. We’re conversing in mixed Japanese and English now, since Aileen isn’t that knowledgeable of our tongue yet.
Aileen slowly shook her head and smiled a little. “Not really sir,” she turned to looked at me then at the chairman. “It’s about us. I think.”
The chairman nodded in confirmation. “Let’s get straight to the point then,” Jung-sa jang started. “Let’s make your relationship official to the public.”
I looked up to the chairman in surprise. “Po?” I heard Aileen asked. She looked baffled by what the chairman said.
The chairman smiled at us. “I told Jungshin I don’t want to be a protagonist in some love story. So I decided, let’s just make the best of what we have now.”
«♫♥♪«♫♥♪«♫♥♪«♫♥♪«♫♥♪«♫♥♪«♫♥♪«♫♥♪«♫♥♪«♫♥♪«♫♥♪«♫♥♪«♫♥♪«♫♥♪«♫♥♪«♫♥♪
“Jungshin-ssi, are you sure this would be okay?” Aileen asked nervously as we walked towards the exit of the building.
The chairman just told us to make our relationship official in public. And walking outside together would be our first step.
I don’t know what the chairman was thinking when he said this could help the two of us somehow. There are some things I am sure though. Aileen would be going through a lot of things because of this. And that this would be a good opportunity to get to know each other more.
I turned to Aileen and took her hand in mine. I really don’t know what she’s thinking. Whether she sees me as some idol she admires or she sees the man as I am, I really don’t care. I just want to be with her now.
I smiled at her as she stared at me wide-eyed, the handle of her handbag so wrinkled because of her nonstop nervous clasping. “Daijobu. Boku ga iru.”* I told her.
She smiled timidly and nodded. “Kaja.” She returned my hold as she twined her fingers in mine. I know she’s afraid, probably of how the netizens would react and how things would turn out by then. “Come what may.” I heard her whisper.
«♫♥♪«♫♥♪«♫♥♪«♫♥♪«♫♥♪«♫♥♪«♫♥♪«♫♥♪«♫♥♪«♫♥♪«♫♥♪«♫♥♪«♫♥♪«♫♥♪«♫♥♪«♫♥♪
“This could help promote Jungshin’s career.” Para namang na-stuck na replay button ang pangungusap na to sa utak ko. Aigoo… kung ikaw ba naman na sagad hanggang bone marrow ang pagka-fangirl, tatanggi ka pa ba?
“Let’s make your relationship official to the public.” Eto pa. Ang mga salitang nawindang ako ng todo-todo. Anong ba ang typical na reaction sa mga sitwasyong sasabihan kang magiging public couple kayo ng idol mo? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! KYAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! Oppaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! I doooooooooo!!!
Ganyan ang typical na sagot ng isang fangirl. Sino din bang loka ang tatanggi?! Ako. Almost.
Nung marinig ko yun sa bibig mismo ng chairman kanina, AMAZING. Kasi di ako napatili o napasigaw man lang sa excitement. Ang nangyari pa nga, sumigaw ang baliw na ako ng “Po?” Ha? Bakit? Ako? Sure kayo? Pero “we’re still on the process of getting to know each other” pa nga. Jowa na agad? Sa public pa? Boyfriend ko na agad ang Bassist ng CNBLUE?? SA PUBLIC??!! Ajdiwejfsepfkcklvmweof!!!!
HUWAY oh WAY ME?! Napatunganga ako sa harapan ng chairman, ni di ko na nga napansin kung ano man ang reaksyon ni Jungshin nun. Gulong-gulo utak ko. Para bang panaginip na ulit ang lahat, at sa sobrang ganda ng panaginip, kinikilabutan ako. Hindi ko na alam ang nangyayari!!!
Di ako kagandahan, mala-Sadako pa ang buhok kaya naman naisipan ko nung magpahighlights, kalahating-hapon nga ako pero counted ba yun? Di ako sikat, ordinaryong babae lang na kung iisipin at kelan man di mapapansin kung di ako mala-fairytale na nakita ni Shin. Para ngang horror movie yung setting ng rendezvous namin. WHY??
“Jungshin-ssi, are you sure this would be okay?” Natanong ko kay Shin. Natatakot ako. Natatakot sa sasabihin ng madlang people. Malalagay din ba ako sa Soompi? Magkakaroon ng fancams sa youtube? Papadalhan din ba ako ng hate mails sa future? HUWAAAAAAAAA!!!! Anong gagawin sa akin ng Boice??? Matatalsik ba ako sa trabaho? Magkakaroon ba ako ng stalker??
Okay. LOL. Over na ata imagination ko. TT3TT
Naramdaman ko na lang ang hawak ni Shin sa kamay ko. “Daijobu. Boku ga iru.” It’s okay. I’m here. Napangiti ako. Kung gulong-gulo man ako kanina, parang nawala na ang lahat na parang bula. “Love” na ba to? Di ko rin alam. Di pa naman kasi ako na-inlove dati. Pero ngayon, katabi ang inspirasyon ko simula pa nung araw na estudyante pa ako, gusto ko nang ma-inlove.
Di ko nga alam kung seryoso nga ba sa akin si Shin, kung seryoso nga ba ang sinabi nya nun sakin. Pero kung may magagawa man lang ako para sa kanya, eto na siguro yun. Kakayanin ko to. Para kay Jungshin, kakayanin ko. :)
“Kaja.” Hinigpitan ko ang hawak sa kamay nya. Hangga’t may panahon pa ako ngayon, di ko muna pakakawalan ang kamay na to. Pwede namang mangarap ako kahit sandali lang diba?
Me aangal? Hahah! Parang ang cheesy ko ata kanina. Gomen. LOL.
Lumabas na kami ng building, magkahawak kamay. Ayiiiie! Kilig much ako. Haha! Eto na ang first step ng OPLAN: PDA. Hahaha! Me pagka-weird nga pala yung chairman, binigyan pa ng pangalan. Haha! Adik lang ano.
Aigoo.. Eto na. Kung ano man ang sinasabi ng mga tao sa paligid, di ko alam kasi Korean mode ang surroundings. Ang alam ko lang tumitili sila kay Shin, habang ako naman eh pinapatay nila sa tingin.
Kung napansin man ni Shin, cool na cool parin ang approach nya. So far, wala pang naglakas loob na hatakin ang buhok ko at bugbugin somewhere. Haha! Gomen. Ang tindi nga ata ng imagination ko. LOL
Huwaaa.. I’m scared. And proud. Aigoo.. di ko na alam. Pasulyap-sulyap naman ako sa gilid, ayun, at may naglabas na ng camera. Huwaaaaaa!!! Magiging Youtube sensation nab a overnight?!
Kinabigla ko naman ng bigla akong hatakin ni Shin papalapit sa kanya sabay lagay ng kamay nya sa kabilang balikat ko. Huwaaaaa!!! I’m evaporating in broad daylight!!!
Ngumiti lang sya sakin, totally oblivious sa mga tilian at lumalaking madlang people sa paligid namin. Humaygash!!! Eottokhae?!
This could help promote Jungshin’s career.
Tama. I should do things right now. Hwaiting Aye! This is it.
“What should we do today?” sabi ko in Nihonggo. Patingin-tingin naman ako sa paligid, kunwari di nakikita ang mga shocked at killer-glares ng mga tao. Aigoo. Kung wala siguro si Shin sa tabi ko, kanina pa ko lantang-gulay dito.
“Hmm. Let’s go there.” Turo ni Shin sa isang pastry shop.
“Coffee in the middle of the afternoon?” Kunot-noo kong tanong. Agad namang nilagay ni Shin yung daliri nya sa kunot kong noo. Napayuko naman ako at napangiti, sabay tapik ng noo ko. Hanggang ngayon nasosorpresa at nahihiya sa tuwing ginagawa nya yan.
“Then what should we do?” Tama, may binigay pala na debit card yung chairman samin, di ko naman natanong kung magkano ang laman. Sabi pa nga nya, para daw yun sa operation ngayon. Napatawa naman ako. Haha. Ang totoo nyan, intimidating yung chairman, pero may adik side din pala. Haha!
“Jungshin-oppa!” Sabay kaming napatingin sa isang Korean na lumapit samin. Finally. May naglakas loob ng lumapit. Eto na ba? Level 1 attack?? Huwaaa!!!
At di ko nga siya maintindihan. Aigoo. Korean mode sila.
Ay, may naintindihan din pala ako kahit papano sa exchange na to. Pinapatay na ako ng Koreana sa utak nya. Huwaaaaaaa!!!
At para namang senyales yun kasi naglapitan na ang mga fans. Andami nila!!! >o< Totally side-sweeped ako nang pinalibutan na nila si Shin.
Iie. IIE!! Matter din ako, occupies space and has mass! “Let’s do this!” Charge!!!! Siniksik ko ang sarili ko sa nagkakagulong tao at agad namang hinawakan ng mahigpit ang kamay ni Shin, (sana nga kay Shin yung nahawakan ko) at agad hinila paalis sa nagpapatayang fans.
“Aileen!” Rinig kong sabi ni Shin. Ayoko na sanang lumingon, pero napalingon naman ako sa relief na si Jungshin nga nahila ko. Waaaa! This is it!
Ngumiti na lang ako sa kanya sabay sabi, “Run!” Déjà vu lang for the third time! Kami-sama! Come what may! Huwaaa! Parang nagsho-shoot lang kami ng music video ng “Run” ano? Hahah! Aigoo. Headlines to. I’m 100% sure. TToTT
Agad namang binilisan ni Shin ang takbo nya at nabaliktad ata sitwasyon namin. Ako na ata hinihila ngayon. Waa! Natural athlete ako kaya naman nakakasabay ako sa bawat hakbang ni Shin. Buti na lang naka-sneakers ako. Haha! Amazing, sa kabila ng heated at controversial scene na ginawa namin, natatawa ako. Kinagulat ko naman nang marinig ko si Shin na tumatawa.
“Ah! Shin-a! This way!” Sigaw ko ng may makitang shop sa may gilid. Pumasok kami dun at naghanap ng maupuan, hinahabol pa ang hininga namin sa takbuhang naganap.
Nagtinginan lang kaming dalawa sandali. Tapos tingin-tingin sa gilid. Waaa! Di ko na kaya… HAHAHAHA!
Tawanan na lang kaming dalawa. Aigoo. Ngayon ko lang napagtanto na nakakaloka ang ginawa namin. Agad namang nawala ang ngiti ko at napatingin kay Shin.
“Shin-a…” waaa! Pano kung may negative impact yung ginawa ko? HUWAAA!!! Ngayon ko lang naisip. Hinila ko si Lee Jungshin at tinakbo palayo sa fans! Para ko naring ninakaw ang pagkain sa mismong lungga ng leon! Huwaaaaaa!!!
Ang tindi ata ng analogy ko. (hahah!)
Unti-unti namang nahimasmasan si Shin, kaya ngayon eh napangiti lang na parang di nakababaliw ang ginawa namin kanina.
Ring.. ring… “Ah, chamkkanman Aileen.” Sinagot ni Jungshin ang cellphone nya. Si chairman na siguro yan. Nagwawala na siguro at the moment sa ginawa ko.
Huwaaaaaaa!!! I wanna kill myself!
Di ko naman maintindihan kasi Korean ang exchange ni Jungshin sa kung sino man ang caller sa kabilang linya. Pinagmasdan ko lang yung mukha nya, minsan kukunot ang noo, magsasalita ulit, tapos mananahimik, ngingiti ng pilit… Di ko mapigilang mag-alala.
Pano kung nega issue to? Panu kung bababa sales nila? Panu kung kukonti fans nila?? WAAAAA! Napraning na ako!

“Ne, Jung-sa jang” I said before I ended the call. The whole time, Aileen watched me with a worrisome expression on her face and I can’t help but kid around with her.
“Was that the chairman?” she asked wide-eyed.
I nodded in answer. She started fidgeting her fingers on the surface of the table. She’s freaking out again.
“Shin-a, gomen!” She bowed her head which surprised me. “Gomenasai!” She’s looking down, her hair shielding her face from me.
“Waeyo?” I asked.
She didn’t answer, after a while she started shaking which got me worried in return. I moved my seat beside her and tried to tilt her face for me to see. “Hey,” I called out.
“I think I’m not doing things right,” she said after a while.
“What do you mean?”
She looked up to me and saw her face drawn with a very worried expression. “I acted without thinking. Gomen!” She bowed her head again, the way Japanese do when they’re sorry for things.
I smiled at her frantic expression and chuckled in return. She looked up to me in question. “Yah! Don’t laugh when things are serious,” she said with a glare.
“Woah. This is the first time I saw you with this expression,” I said as I pinched her cheeks. “It’s cute.” I teased her.
“Yah!” She protested. “This is serious! Who knows, I might have done something to jeopardize your whole career!”
“Ani.” I shook my head. “It’s not what you were thinking.” She stared at me, waiting for me to continue.
“The chairman said you did well,” I said with a smile. Honestly, I was nervous a while ago, too, on how things would turn out. “The company’s now busy answering their questions about the ‘girl who charged and sprinted with an idol’,” I said with a chuckle.
Aileen continued looking at me. She still haven’t blinked an eye on what I just said. I guess I really got her worried.
I smiled and leaned unto her as I gave her creased forehead a soft peck. That did the job.
She turned beet red and cleared her throat a few times. I smiled at how adorable she looked at the moment.
“Hm. W-we should go now. Y-you said you have to meet Yonghwa-oppa and the rest later on.” She readily stood up, took her bag and walked outside the shop in a startled manner.
I just kissed her. And I was surprised myself on what I just did. I smiled as I followed her outside. I’m thankful things turned out good for our first day as a couple.
«♫♥♪«♫♥♪«♫♥♪«♫♥♪«♫♥♪«♫♥♪«♫♥♪«♫♥♪«♫♥♪«♫♥♪«♫♥♪«♫♥♪«♫♥♪«♫♥♪«♫♥♪«♫♥♪
We rode in silence as the van took us to the thai restaurant. Right. We’ll be having dinner with Ra Ra tonight. It’s almost 6 pm now. The hyungs are probably in the restau, waiting.
I glanced toward Aileen beside me. She’s pretty tired. She’s leaning on my shoulder, I’m not sure if she’s still awake or not.
For our first day, a lot of things happened and I guess things went with how the chairman planned. How about Aileen? I thought of how the future could affect her. Though she’s not telling, I know she’s afraid.
But then I learned few things about her too. She tends to act first without thinking. She would easily get frantic on the things she did. She worries to much. She worries for me.
The thought of her worried expression a while ago brought a smile to my lips. She really do care a lot. But then I hope I could protect her well, too. I don’t want her to worry like that again.
“Jungshin, we’re here.” I heard Kyunghae-ssi said. Aileen sat straight as she heard it too. So she wasn’t asleep. I wonder what she could be thinking. She looked at me and smiled shyly. We would be separating ways now, she has to work on some project so she can’t join us for dinner.
“Aileen~” I started, when suddenly the door opened with Minhyuk’s surprised expression on his face.
“Oh! Aileen-nuna!” Minhyuk said with a smile. “Hyung! Nuna’s here!” Minhyuk turned to call on the hyungs standing outside the restau.
“Annyeonghaseyo Minhyuk-oppa!” Aileen greeted. She got out of the van to greet the hyungs. “Annyeonghaseyo Jonghyun-oppa, Yonghwa-oppa!”
“Woah! We thought it was Dae-In just now,” Yonghwa-hyung said with a wide smile. “Jonghyun, gwaenchana. Gwaenchana.” Hyung said as he patted Jonghyun-hyung’s back.
Jonghyun-hyung ignored hyung as he turned to us and said, “You came together.”
We nodded in answer. “Nuna! You’ll join us for dinner, ne?” Minhyuk asked excitedly.
“Ah. Iie.” Aileen smiled and shook her head in answer. “Gomenasai, Minhyuk-san, I have to go straight home now, I still have to work on a proposal.”
The hyungs nodded in understanding. “Ah! Chamkkanman Aileen-nuna, you have to meet someone first.” Minhyuk said. As if on cue, she appeared.
“Annyeonghaseyo oppa! You’re here already!” Ra Ra came out from the restaurant and saw us. “Mianhe, I had the room prepared.” She turned towards us and smiled at me. Then she noticed Aileen beside me. “Ah, mianhe. I’ve been rude. Annyeong Shin-a.” She then bowed towards Aileen and greeted her.
“Ah, Ra Ra-ssi, this is Aileen,” Minhyuk said. “Shin-a and Aileen are going~”
“Konbanwa Ra Ra-san!” Aileen cut off. She smiled timidly and switched to English. “I’m sorry, i can’t understand Korean much. Gomenasai. I’m Aileen.” Ra Ra smiled and nodded.
“I see. You’re Japanese. My name’s Ra Ra Yoon. It’s nice to meet you.” We looked in silence as the two exchanged words. “Will you join us for dinner?”
“I would love to, but I can’t. I have to do something for tonight.” Aileen answered. “Thank you for the invitation Ra Ra-san.”
Aileen then turned to us and said, “I have to go now. Ki o tsukete minna-san,” She bowed to the others one last time and waved goodbye. I offered to walk her towards the van but then she refused politely.
“Daijobu Shin-a,” She said with a smile. “See you tomorrow.”
“Woah. Both of you could really speak English well!” Minhyuk commented when Aileen left. “I’ll ask nuna to teach me that.”
We went inside the restau and waited as the food is served.
“Grace-ssi, this is kinda sudden,” Yonghwa-hyung commented. “But then it’s been a long time since we did this.” Hyung added.
Ra Ra simply nodded in answer. “Ne, majayo.” She sat silently for a while as she watched as stuff food on our plate. “Hyung… I’m going back to France.”
