"Waaaahhhh Yeppeuda!" Lee Teuk sunbae-nim said.
It was the day before the LA Kcon. Idols from different agencies where backstage waiting for their turn to rehearse.
I smiled at sunbae-nim."Kamsaham---"
"What a pretty boy!" He walked pass me and greeted an idol behind me.
It was Cha Eunwoo.
How can a boy be prettier than me? I pouted as I looked at them.
Woojin and Jinyoung laughed.
I hit Woojin and glared at them.
"Dont worry hyung. For me, you're the prettiest." Guanlin said as he put his arm around me.
"Even Pigs are pretty." Woojin laughed as he dodged me.
"Where are the others anyway?" I asked as I looked around.
"Jisung hyung is asking for Super Junior's autograph. Daehwi and Minhyun-hyung...there!" Jinyoung pointed to Daehwi and Mihyun who were talking to Jackson-sunbaenim.
"The three stooges?" I asked.
"I know where." Woojin grinned."Come with me."
Guanlin and I followed Woojin to the dressing rooms, and there we saw the Daniel, Seongwoo and Sungwoon stacked on top of one another peeping at one of the dressing rooms.
"Hana.. Deul.. Set! Hana.. Deul Set!" We heard voices of girls practicing in the room.
"WJSN:Cosmic Girls"
The room reads.
"Melon shake! Melon shake!" Sungwoon hyung whispered to the two who are giggling.
"Revenge is mine."Woojin said. The hyungs made him ran again and again this morning during our photoshoot under the scorching heat of santa Monica beach.
Woojin grinned and placed a finger on his lips.
We smiled as and followed him as he slowly approached the hyungs.
He then raised his leg and kicked Seongwoo's butt pushing him and the other two to the dressing room.
"Aaaahhhh!!!" The girls shouted.
"Shit!" Woojin said as we ran away from the room.
"Ya!" Sungwoon said as he looked at us.
The three stood up, and immediately ran away towards our direction.
Sungwoon hit woojin's head as we ran on the lobby.
"Ya!" A girl with a pretty face and a voluptuous figure said as she went out of the room.
It was Cheng Xiao of WJSN.
"You perverts!" She shouted as she looked us.
She started chasing us backstage. The three perverts eyes staring at her, as her breasts bounces as she chased us.
"Daebak!" Sungwoon said.
"Why are we running with them?" Guanlin said as he stopped.
"I don't know." Woojin and I stopped as we catch our breath.
"Ya!" Cheng Xiao shouted as she chased the three.
She suddenly tripped on one wires scattered backstage.
"Gwenchana?" Guanlin said as he caught her.
Our eyes widen as we saw Guanlin's hands accidentally groped her... Chest.
Sungwoon and Seongwoo bit their lips and grinned. While we held our breaths and controlled our laughter before she notices it.
Good thing she didn't notice it. She stared at him as she stood up and fixed her clothes.
She nodded. "Go-gomawo."
"Cheng Xiao!" Yeonjeong-sunbaenim said as she ran towards us.
We bowed nad greeted her. "Sunbae-nim."
"Are you crazy?! Why're you peeping at us!" She said to us.
Eunsoo of WJSN girls glared at us as she checked on Cheng Xiao.
"It's not us. It's them." Woojin pointed towards Daniel, Seongwoo, and Sungwoon.
"It's his idea." Seongwoo said as he pointed at Sungwoon who was hiding behind him while Daniel nodds. "We just tagged along."
"I'm so disappointed at you." Yeonjeong-sunbaenim rolled her eyes and left.
"What happened?" Minhyun hyung asked as he, Jisung hyung and Daehwi came.
-----
The whole afternoon was spent on our managers scolding us.
It was already 5:00 pm and I was supposed to meet up with my Mom and my brother and yet....
"You're grounded!" Our PD said.
"What?!" We said in unison.
"You're lucky we handled the situation well before it goes out of hand or else this will be another scandal." The manager said.
"....No one leaves." He added.
"B-but its the only time I can meet up with my family!"
"..... It's not our fault! It's theirs!" I pointed at the three hyungs who were looking like innocent puppies in one corner.
"No." The manager said.
"But-" Minhyun-hyung grabbed my shoulder.
--------
I sat in the corner of the room in frustration.
"Cheer up Unnie." Daehwi said as he gives me a can of sold soda.
I opened it and drank it.
Suddenly, I heard a knock on the door. It was the three idiots.
"Hoonie~~ Mianhe." Seongwoo said as they peeped from the door.
I crushed the can in my hands. They smiled as they entered our room.
"Well... We would've been caught if Woojin didn't kicked us." Sungwoon said as he looked at Woojin who was lying in the bed.
"Guanlin?" Seongwoo asked as he sat on the bed.
"Talking with his family in the lobby." Daehwi said.
Sungwoon laughed. "That lucky bastard."
Everyone laughed.
"Here." Daniel-hyung sat beside me and gave me pack of gummy bears.
I brushed him off and looked away. He opened the pack of gummy bears and put one in my hand.
I missed my Mom so much. What is an hour or so of talking?
Our managers had our phones too. I don't want them to think I stood them up.
I cried.
Guanlin suddenly busted the door open. He grabbed my hand and pulled me out. "Come on."
"Wae?!" I asked.
"We'll visit your mom. Quick! Before they catch us."
"You're sneaking out?" Daniel asked.
"Micheoseo?" Sungwoon added.
"I'm coming with you." Woojin sat up.
"Whatever." Guanlin said as he pulled me. " My Dad's van is in the Parking lot..."
"These crazy jerks." Sungwoon said.
".... We'll just have dinner at my house." Guanlin told me.
"Free food." Seongwoo said.
--------
"You sure you can all go?" Guanlin's Dad asked as we were all squeezed in the van.
"Y-yeah." Guanlin smiled.
"Didn't you tell him we're grounded?" Daniel whispered.
"No." Guanlin said.
"Hyung. Why're you quiet?" Jinyoung asked me.
"Me? N-no. I'm not quiet." I said as I looked down.
"Don't be shy." Guanlin's Dad said.
"Yeah. Dont be shy." Guanlin said with a sarcastic giggle.
"He's gonna' devour your dinner ahjusshi. That's why." Woojin said.
Others laughed.
----
"Hyung..I'll come back for you." Guanlin.
"I'll come back for you~" Sungwoon teased.
Guanlin's Dad dropped me off a university hospital where my mom was confined.
"Thought you ditched us...... Jihoon-ah" I looked around and saw a familiar figure by the waiting shed. It was my brother, Jihoon, wearing a varsity jacket and a beamy.
I smirked. "I got into trouble.. A bit..." I said as I walked towards him.
"You look well." I told him.
"You look ugly." He teased.
I chuckled. "Of course."
We chatted as we strolled around the university.
"How're things going? Have you adjusted yet?" I asked.
"Nah. You know I can't speak english that well."He said. "I'm actually working as a dishwasher at a korean restaurant."
"You? Working at a restaurant?" I chuckled.
"Yeah.. Right. And guess what? I've been working there for a month now." He chuckled.
I clapped. "Wah.. Daebak! You managed to stay at a job?"
Deep inside, I cant help but be hurt by the fact that my great Park Jihoon is now a dishwasher at a local restaurant. Away from the limelight he was used to.
"Mianhe." I said as I bowed my head.
"Mwoya. Don't make me feel pitiful. I'm still Park Jihoon. Member of Wanna One." He joked.
"... I do understand now, what you must've felt through all those years." He added. "Just keep it up." He tapped my shoulder.
".... Dont get into trouble... And make sure to pass the university exam for me." He added.
I hit my head. Keeping a secret seems to be easier than passing a university exam.
"... I want a top university." He demanded with a blanket expression in his face.
I frowned. "I know. I know."
I would have to attend his school once I go back. Another problem.
"How's cross dressing?" He joked.
"Fine? I guess?" I said. At this point. I had to solve my own problems, including that creepy unknown number.
No matter how big of a jerk my brother is, he will glip once he found out someone is harassing me.
"By the way... There's something that I've been curious about.How are you and Somi-sunbaenim related?" I asked.
---------
My mom will be released in a month. The surgery went well, and hopefully, she can make it back to Korea once she's fully recovered.
The rain suddenly poured as I wait for Guanlin. I hugged my body as I felt the cold breeze brush through my body.
I hope it doesn't rain tommorrow in the Kcon. I thought to myself.
As I looked up, I saw someone from across the street. It was a man holding an umbrella.
It must be him.
"Guanlin!" I shouted as I waved at him. "I'm cold! Hurry up!"
He was not budging.
"Come on!" I stood up and shouted the rain spraying to my face.
The man crossed the street.
I slowly recognised who it was as he came closer and vloser.
"Woojin?" I said as I squinted my eyes.
He smiled. "Naya."
He took his scarf and wrapped it around my neck."Babo! Why would you think I'm Guanlin?"
"B-because he told me he'll come back for me." I said.
He pat my head. "I never left."
He fixed my bangs."... I was just... Right...."
"Here." He said as he squeezed my cheeks and smiled.
"Oink! Oink!" He laughed as he pressed my nose.
I hit him.
" Let's go?" Woojin smiled as he raised his arm for me like a gentleman that he always was.
I smiled and took his arm.
---------
Ding Dong!
We rang the doorbell of Guanlin's house.Sungwoon and Jaehwan's laughtet resonating outside of the house.
Just then, someone opened the door.
"They're here!" Cheng Xiao shouted.
---------
Wanna One changed agency.
My Opinion:
1.) YMC is done with them. They probably had squeezed out all the money they can from Wanna One. (Considering the produced 6 diff versions of albums for the "early" Come back in June.)
2.) YMC throwing them away to make way for produce 48 ( My theory is adding up isn't it? 😉)
3.) Swing ent is basically the investment money of w1 agencies (mmo, pledis, marro, BNM, c9..etc.) all together. Although some assumes it opens up opportunities for Wanna One to stay as a permanent group. I don't think that's the case. Again, I think it's YMC's way of giving w1's individual agency an opportunity to make the most of their money begore they disband. (YMC cant care less they have a new GG to debut this august..so...)
Anyway, if changing agency will ensure wanna one will be "well paid" and "taken care of"... Why not?
I would appreciate if they don't drench my Minhyun in the rain and. treat Guanlin fairly.
If they can "afford" Wanna One as a Permanent group, which would be awesome! Then... GREAAAAATTT!!! *JoEE celebrates.
I'm still worried about Seongwoo though.
Anyway, if swing ent will continue after w1 disbands (*dies internally everytime I mention this word) Jaehwan will be its first artist to debut since he signed contract with CJ.
What do you think?
