Chapter 51: The Worst Day Ever
Wendy, she’ll be arriving at Korea today and Mark will fetch her. Why does she need to be fetched?
I texted Mark.
To: Peter Pan <3
Hey. Let’s meet.
I don’t want Mark to go and fetch Wendy.
He replied.
From: Peter Pan <3
Rhianne, we already talked about this. I’ll be back. I promise.
Still Mark wants to fetch Wendy.
I didn’t reply anymore. I don’t want to interfere. If Mark wants to fetch Wendy then let him. Even if I try to stop him, nothing will happen. We’ll just fight again.
“Unnie,” Jimin opened my door. “Mark oppa is looking for you.”
“Tell him I’m sleeping.” I said.
“Who’s sleeping?” Mark said as he entered my room.
I immediately covered my face and pretended to sleep.
“I’ll be leaving you guys.” Jimin said.
I can hear footsteps. I bet Mark entered. Suddenly, I felt someone hugging me. Still, I didn’t move or do anything.
“Yah.” he was shaking me.
I just pretended to snore.
“I know you’re awake.” he said.
I removed the blanket and the pillow on my face and hit him with the pillow.
“Ah so you want a pillow fight.” Mark said then he got my pillow and he started hitting me too.
“Yaah!” I screamed and we were now having a pillow fight and then I ended up at the top of Mark while he was lying on my bed.
He was still laughing then he hugged me.
“Can’t you just stay?” I said.
“Don’t get jealous Rhianne. Wendy’s just a childhood friend. She’s just a friend. Believe me.” Mark said.
“But…” I said.
“No more buts.” he said..
“Yah! What are you two doing?” Yerin exclaimed as she entered my room.
Suddenly, Mark pushed me so I fell down on the floor. Aww. -_- Then Mark immediately went near me, “I’m sorry.” he said then he smiled at me.
“Just because Wendy is arriving you’re already pushing me away.” I said as I stood up.
Mark just stared at me.
“I was just joking.” I said.
“Who’s Wendy?” Yerin asked.
“My childhood friend.” Mark said.
I immediately pushed Mark. “Leave now. You might be late for your appointment.”
“Rhianne, wait. Wait. Wait.” Mark said as I was pushing him.
“You might be late, baby.” I said.
Then he stopped, “Did you just call me baby?”
“No, I just called you grandpa” I said. Then he faced me and kissed me.
“Ahem.. Ahem.. We didn’t see anything.” Jimin teased.
Mark stopped kissing me and he smiled at me.
“Go now.” I said.
“Why are you making it hard for me to leave?” he said.
“Cause you love me?” I said.
Mark hugged me. “Go now.” I said.
He smiled at me and touched my cheeks. I took a deep breathe. “What if something bad happen to me today, will you come back to me?” I asked.
He looked at me so bad. “Are you planning to do something?” he asked.
I shook my head. “Go now.” I said.
He waved and he started walking outside. The moment Mark went out I immediately sat down. It hurts Mark. I don’t know but my heart is aching. It’s just that maybe I’m worried because of Wendy. I don’t know. But suddenly, it feels different.
“What happened to you unnie?” Yerin said.
“She’s going to meet Wendy.” I said.
“Mark oppa said she’s just a friend. Let’s just believe in him.” Yerin said.
I just sighed and enter my room. What am I going to do now? I have nothing to do. Training was over.
I’ll just look at my twitter. Suddenly, I have a message.
“Ooh, a message. From… Jessica.” I said.
And this was Jessica’s message.
Is Wendy there already? She posted on IG that she’ll be going to Korea. Will Mark fetch her?
I replied to her.
Mark is on the way to fetch her. Jessica, can I ask something?
Jessica: Sure, what is it?
Me: Is Wendy really just Mark’s friend?
Jessica: I think Mark should be the one who’ll tell you that.
Me: What do you mean? Mark won’t tell me anything.
Jessica: Then I should not tell anything too.
Me: Fine. I got my answer. Thanks. -_-
Jessica: Hey Rhianne.
I didn’t reply anymore. If Jessica won’t answer me, then it means she’s hiding something from me. What if she was really Mark ex-girlfriend? I’m doomed.
What am I gonna do now?
Dugdug.
Dugdug.
My heart. It aches.
I want to cry. I’m sorry for being emotional. I just don’t want to lose Mark. Call me selfish, but I just don’t want to lose Mark. I never experience this kind of love so I’m really selfish when it comes to Mark.
I’ll just go to the streets now. I miss those people watching me before.
I immediately prepared myself and then I took my guitar and decided to go to the streets.
“Oh, where are you going unnie?” Jimin asked.
“I’m going to visit the streets. I missed the feeling.” I said.
“I want to go” Jimin said.
“Me too.” Yerin said.
“Then let’s go.” I said.
They immediately stood up and changed their clothes. We started walking down and they went to the garage.
“Unnie, where are you going?” they asked.
“I’m not going to ride the van. I’m going to ride in the public transportation.” I said.
“Lemme come!” Yerin said.
“But people might see us.” Jimin said.
“People will see us too in the streets.” Yerin said.
Then Yerin pulled me and we started walking.
“Yah wait for me!” Jimin said.
We then went out of the building. There were no fans outside today so we were able to go to the station easily. We rode the train and also the bus. I never knew that it’s really fun travelling.
After travelling, we walked a bit and suddenly I saw the first place I performed. Now, there’s someone performing there. She was a girl too.
“Let’s hear her song first.” I told them. Then we stood there and she was singing the song, SOMEDAY.
And now, I start reminiscing the past. I never thought days would really be so fast. Before, I was just singing like her, then now, I’m here. I’m a star already. It really makes me emotional every time I remember that.
It’s really sweet to taste the victory if you really did your best to achieve it. Then she finished the song and saw us.
“OH MY GOSH! 15&!” she exclaimed.
I put money on her box. “Work hard! I believe you can!”
She immediately hugged me! “Oh my gosh Rhianne unnie! I never thought I’ll be able to see you again. I was inspired when you sing here so I decided to sing also.”
“Then let’s sing together.” I said.
We sang the song, “A Goose’s Dream” where she was the main vocal and I was just the second voice. Jimin and Yerin started to sing with us too. A lot of people started to come near the place.
Then she started crying.
“Why are you crying my dear?” I asked.
“It’s just that, I can’t imagine that I’ll be able to sing with you guys.” she said.
“Soon, you’ll be able to sing with us every day. Work hard, strive hard.” I said.
“Continue dreaming!” Jimin said.
“Fighting!” Yerin said.
Suddenly,
*Pwaaak*
“Unnie!” they exclaimed.
Then an orange rolled to my feet. Someone threw an orange at me, at my right eye. I can’t open it right now. It hurts. Then another orange hit me. And slowly, more oranges come to hit me.
“Yah, who is doing that?” Yerin shouted.
I immediately stood up. “Yerin-a, a lot of people will see you, it’s fine. Let’s just go.” I said as I cover my right eye.
“Unnie, it’s not fine.” Yerin said.
“Haters gonna hate.” I said.
“Unnie, are you alright?” the girl said
“I’m fine my dear.” I said. “We should go now, there might something bad happen again.”
“Take care unnies.” she said.
“You too.” I said. “Take care.”
Then we immediately went away from the crowds. There were some people who laughed at me while I move out. Yerin and Jimin were trying to cover me. Some were even taking pictures. I can hear the sounds of their cameras. I’m doomed.
“If I saw her face, I’ll surely slap her. No one touches our unnie.” Yerin said.
“It’s fine Yerin. I think it’s not a good place here.” I said.
We started walking away from that place when a group of girls blocked our way.
“So Rhianne, Mark’s girlfriend.” she said. “How does it feel?”
She’s the girl the other day, the one who told me that we’re going to break-up.
“Let’s go guys.” I told Jimin and Yerin and turned my back from them.
She suddenly pulled my hair and I fell down. Ouch. It hurts.
“UNNIE!” Yerin and Jimin exclaimed.
“I’m still talking to you.” the fan said.
I faced them. “You don’t have anything to say.”
“Huh, this girl is really…” she was about to slap me.

Why is there no hand touching my face? I opened my eyes and I saw JB.
“Oppa.” Jimin and Yerin said.
“JB oppa.” the girls said.
“Don’t you ever try to lay your hands on my friends. You’ll be able to see my other personality.” JB said.
Then the girls immediately ran. “We’re not yet over!” the girl said.
“Oppa!” Jimin and Yerin exclaimed.
“Good thing you came.” Jimin said.
Why did you come JB? Now, my fist is starting to round together. I want to punch something. I’m too mad right now.
“By the way, why are you here?” Yerin asked.
“I was just going to get a thing there on the street when I heard that you guys where here. So I went here.” JB said. “Are you fine Rhianne?”
“You should’ve not come.” I said.
“What are you talking about?” JB said.
“Because of me everyone’s in trouble.” I said.
I started crying. I’m such a cry-baby.
“Unnie,” Yerin said as he hugged me.
I’m telling you, don’t hug me while I’m crying. I’m going to cry even more. Then JB raised my head and looked at me at the eye, “Don’t cry. Stop.”
“Let’s go home.” I said. “I’m tired.”
Suddenly, my phone vibrated. Kahi unnie is calling.
“Yeoboseyo?” I answered her call.
“Where are you? I told you to not leave the dorm. We have a meeting with…” she said.
“I know.” I said coldly.
“Are you alright? Is there something wrong?” she asked.
“None.” I said. “I’d go there now.”
Then I ended our conversation.
“Who’s that? Is that Mark?” JB asked.
I shook my head, “Go back to the dorms. I have to meet someone.” I said.
“Who?” they asked.
“A friend.” I said. Then I started walking away from them.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JB’s POV
Rhianne’s been acting weird. She just left us after that phone call. I wonder who that is.
“Go immediately to the dorms, I’m going to spy.” I told Jimin and Yerin and left them.
I wonder who she will be meeting with. Rhianne is the kind of person who loves to hide things from us. I have to spy.
Rhianne rode a cab and I too rode a cab and asked to follow Rhianne’s cab. It was kinda far from where we came from. Suddenly, the cab stopped in front of the hospital. Hospital? Is she going to visit someone?
I went down and hid somewhere where I can still see her. Then I saw Kahi noona arrived and met her. The two of them went inside the hospital.
‘What is happening?’ I told myself. I then entered the hospital, covering my face and followed them. I saw them entered the Heart Center of the hospital. Then they entered a room. I was about to follow them when the security guard stopped me.
“Where are you going sir?” he asked me.
I acted normally, “Uhm, I was just going to meet a friend here.”
“Do you have any ID with you?” he asked.
Uh-oh. I forgot my ID.
“Uhm..” I said.
“I’m sorry sir, but you can’t enter without any ID.” he said.
So I went back and waited at the lobby. I wonder if Rhianne already know about this. My heart is pounding faster and faster. I have to wait for them. I need to talk to her.
Minutes later…
I saw them went out. I immediately stood up and Kahi noona recognized me.
“Oh, JB?” she said.
Rhianne looked so shocked the moment she saw me.
“What are you doing here?” Kahi noona asked.
“Uhm, I was just…”
“He was following me.” Rhianne said coldly.
“Ah,” Kahi noona exclaimed. She then looked at Rhianne before looking back to me, “Don’t worry JB, Rhianne just accompanied me here to get my grandpa’s test result.”
“Oh is that so?” I said.
“You should’ve just believed me.” Rhianne said.
“Since, JB is here, I’d be leaving Rhianne to you.” Kahi noona said. “Take care of her. Go back to the dorms now.”
I nodded and we went out of the hospital.
“You’re such a hard-headed man.” Rhianne said.
“I’m just concerned with you Rhianne.” I said.
“Don’t be… cause…” she said.
“Because?” I asked.
“Mark will be mad.” she said. Then she walked fastly.
“Hey Rhianne, wait for me.” I said.
I know Rhianne is hiding something from me. She loves to hide things especially when it is concerning her. I know her that much.
While we were on the cab, I can see Rhianne holding a paper and I the moment I looked to her, her eyes, it’s like there are tears forming slowly. Is it just because of the incident earlier?
“What happened?” I asked. “You’re hiding something from me, I’m sure of it.”
Rhianne looked at me. Yeah, I’m right, in a few moments she’ll cry.
“Better not to interfere, JB. Besides, you can’t do anything about it.” she said.
I immediately took the paper she is holding. She was so shocked. She was trying to get it back from me.
“Yah! Give that back to me.” she said.
“I ain’t gonna give you this unless you tell me what’s bothering you.” I said.
“Please don’t open that paper.” she said. And tears started to fall from her eyes.
And then I started to wonder what’s inside that paper. I slowly put my hand and gave her that paper. I don’t know what to say anymore. I think she’s been hurt so much by what is happening now between her and Mark’s fans. What can I do Rhianne to ease the pain?
Suddenly, she told me everything. And I was shocked.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rhianne’s POV
At the dorms…
First, Wendy –Mark’s ex-girlfriend- will be coming. Second, sasaeng fans start to bash me. And third, this? I can’t take another bad news today. I don’t know what to feel anymore. My heart is so numb with all the news I’m receiving today.
“Haha, you really know how to make me laugh, Mark.” a girl said.
I looked from where that voice came from and saw Mark with a girl. No she’s not just a girl, she’s Wendy. I can see Mark having that wide smile. He never smiled like that when he’s with me, he never.
“Rhianne!” Mark said the moment he saw me. “I’d like you to meet Wendy, my childhood friend and Wendy, I’d like you to meet Rhianne, my girlfriend.”
“Whatever you say Mark.” Wendy said. I do not know what she meant by that. “Hi Rhianne, is Mark being a good boyfriend? Haha. Anyway, I’m Wendy, like what Mark said, his childhood FRIEND.”
I don’t know but it seems like she emphasized the word friend. Are you really friends?
I smiled weakly at Wendy and Mark.
“Nice meeting you Wendy. Too bad I can’t talk with you for so long, I need to take a rest.” I said.
“Why? Is there something wrong with you?” Mark asked.
“None.” I said. I can feel the tears forming in my eyes. “I’m just tired.”
Then I started moving away from them, “Rhianne.” Mark said as he stopped me. Suddenly, I felt JB held Mark’s hand.
“She said she’s tired Mark. Let her rest.” JB said.
I don’t know what happened next. I just left them there and went to my room. I am in pain right now.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JB’s POV
“What did you do to her JB?” Mark asked me.
“Mark, it seems like JB didn’t do anything.” Wendy said.
Mark keeps on insisting that I did something.
“I didn’t do anything. I was just with her today, to comfort her.” I said.
“Comfort her? Why? Because I’m with Wendy? Psh.” Mark said irritably.
Mark is thinking that Rhianne is jealous because he is with Wendy. It’s not what I meant.
“It’s not what I meant, Mark.” I said.
“Then what else?” Mark said.
“Mark, don’t raise your voice.” Wendy said.
“Better ask her.” I said.
Since Wendy arrived here, Mark has been like that or maybe I’m just not really feeling good with Mark nowadays. Aish. Whatever.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rhianne’s POV
I’m so tired right now, looking at this paper, it’s just.. uggh. It’s frustrating me even more. So this is the reason why I’ve been feeling tired lately. This is the reason why my whole life is a mess. This.
My phone suddenly vibrated. I put the paper on my table.
From: Peter Pan <3
Go out of your room. Let’s talk.
I don’t want to talk to you right now Mark. I’m not on the mood.
To: Peter Pan <3
Talk about what, oppa? I’m tired, can we just talk maybe tomorrow?
Here we go again Rhianne, the white lies. I just don’t want Mark to know what happened earlier. I don’t want him to know about…
“UNNIE! Mark oppa wants to talk to you!” Jimin shouted.
I released a deep sigh. Mark is mad I know. But can’t he just understand I wanted to rest right now. I wanted to sleep cause that’s the only place where there’s no problem, no sickness, no pain.
I went out of the room.
“I told you I’m tir---“ then Mark immediately pulled me out of the room.
“Hey!” I exclaimed. “What’s wrong?”
“You tell me what’s wrong.” he said.
“Nothing is wrong” I said with a little high pitch.
Mark put his hands on his face feeling so irritated. “You’re with JB earlier, are you trying to make me jealous just because I’m with Wendy?” Mark said.
Here we go again.
“Why are you so mad with JB? He’s not doing anything.” I said.
“I don’t like that attitude Rhianne.” Mark said.
I’m starting to get irritated with what’s happening now. Tears are starting to form from my eyes. I don’t know why my attitude entered this scene.
“You chose me so bear with it.” I said with gritting teeth and as I turned my back from him.
“Rhianne!” he shouted.
“What?” I shouted back. “Know what, I have enough for this day Mark. I’m so tired and frustrated with all these news I’m receiving. I can’t bear another bad thing, Mark. So just please, please. I’m tired.”
A tear fell from my left eye. It just shows how frustrated I am right now. Then Mark hugged me. I started to cry louder.
“Why Mark? Why? Why me? Of all the people, why me? Why?” I continue to ask Mark that question. Why me?
“I can’t understand you, Rhianne. What’s happening?” Mark asked.
I looked at Mark with tears on my face, “Nothing.” I said then I entered our room and locked it.
Mark kept on knocking and asking me why I’m crying. I can’t tell you Mark, I can’t.
Suddenly, Yerin and Jimin went out of my room holding a paper.
“What’s this unnie?” Yerin utterly said.
And now, they saw the paper I’m holding, the paper that’s making me cry even more. Yerin and Jimin saw it. They now knew it. I smiled at them and a tear fell from my left eye.
“I’m going to die.” I said.
