I Got Reincarnated As A Prodigal K Pop Superstar - Volume 1

 

“Still thinking of about that saesang fan of yours?” Seiji-hyung asked.

“Yeah somehow I can’t seem to shake it off.” I replied.

He placed a hand on my shoulder. “It’s been 3 weeks since the incident. I thought you’d be over it by now.”

I shook my head. “I don’t know why. But it seemed so traumatizing.”

It’s the day before Christmas and we were packed. Tomorrow’s our day off and I plan to spend it well. The day after tomorrow is the song festival. After that, it’s going to be hectic since it’s going we’ll be promoting our new album by then. But I was still stuck with the thought of that saesang fan of mine and what she could possibly do to me and the people around me.

I need to shake this off.

We’re currently at our dance studio in the company’s building and we were running through our routine for the festival. It’s still 10AM in the morning and we’re taking a 15 minute break before going at it again.

To make things worse, I have a scheduled meeting with JYP PD-nim at lunchtime. He actually squeezed this in my schedule because he says that it’s important. I don’t know what it is, but it better be important.

I wonder what it is that it couldn’t even wait until after the technical and costume rehearsal tonight.

Oh yeah. Tonight would be our rehearsals for the festival. So we’re really packed today.

“Don’t dwell on it too much, JayB” Matt-hyung came over handing me a sports drink.

I accepted it. “Thanks. To both of you.”

They just smiled at me while Matt-hyung patted my shoulder.

“Guys! Guys! Guys! Check this out!” Zee came barging in the door and frantically turned on the television in the studio.

Everyone in the room including the trainees, the GOT7 members and even IU-sunbaenim who was in one of the corners minding her own business, huddled and watched what was on the television.

“Today, the KPOP summit for every CEO has come to a conclusion.” A reporter announced.

Right.

Every year, all the CEOs of the 5 companies would come together and discuss what went through this year and what could be improved. 7 years ago, it was Show Me Your Case. I wonder what they discussed this year.

“Look! It’s the CEO of SM!” Bam Bam said.

The CEO of SM then came to be interviewed. “We can’t tell you all the details for now. But the five companies will be holding a press conference to tell you what we’ve discussed. For now, this is all we can tell you, we are planning to let all producers from idol groups manage and produce for the upcoming idol groups in their respective companies. This will not only impart the values of the company but also their knowledge and skill for composition and producing.”

When we heard that, we were all shocked.

We were already busy at it is. Now, some of us were going to manage a new group? It would really take a toll on us. Plus, this would create competition between fellow idols.

“What the heck are they planning?” Jiwoo asked.

“He never could keep his mouth shut until the conference, couldn’t he?”

We all turned around to see where the voice was coming from and saw PD-nim leaning on the door frame of the studio. The people in the room greeted him.

I on the other hand, glared at him.

“Everyone, we’re cutting this practice short. I’ll meet you guys at the rehearsals later tonight. I have a lot of meetings to attend to. Starting with the trainees.” He said.

“So that’s it? We’re just going to go ahead with the CEOs’ plans? We don’t have a say in it whatsoever?” I complained.

Matt-hyung grabbed my arm as he tried calming me down. I didn’t intend to fight hyung. Otherwise, he’ll pin me down by force.

I sighed. “We need to talk after you’re done talking to the trainees.”

“Fine. I was going to meet you after talking to them anyway. It’ll only take a couple of minutes. All of you except for the trainees, clear the room.” He said while gritting his teeth.

We did as he said. I went past him and bumped his shoulder. My anger couldn’t easily be appeased.

___________

“Absolutely not!” I yelled.

“That is an order Kim Jinbo and you are not going to disobey it!” PD-nim yelled back.

I scoffed at him. “You want me to be the producer of the group that’ll come out of a survival show like us? Absolutely not!”

We both pointed out our arguments and we were in a really heated discussion. The sixteen trainees that were currently in the room were all starting to be afraid of us. They never saw me like this before.

I breathed out a deep sigh. “Fine. It’s going to be tough, but fine. But here’s my proposal. Would you at least hear that out?”

“Of course. That’s what I’ve been waiting for all this time.” PD-nim said.

I turned to the trainees. “There are other trainees in the building aside from these people, right?”

“Correct.” PD-nim answered.

“I’ll personally choose from the trainees as to who’ll be under me AND they don’t have to be included in the survival show.” I told him calmly.

PD-nim shook his head. “You do know why we’re doing survival shows, right?”

I nodded in response. “I do. To get the audience understand the upcoming idols better. And so we’ll know who the people would want to be placed in the group.”

“So if you do know that, then why are you not agreeing with it?” He asked.

“Because knowing you, the show will probably be more brutal towards the girls.” I replied bluntly.

He sighed. “Ladies can you please leave the room for a few minutes. I need to speak to JayB alone.”

As soon as the trainees left the room, PD-nim spoke. “You of all people should understand how business works.”

“And you of all people should know what I can do even without the survival show.” I told him.

We both became silent for a while.

“JayB-ah. Give me the list of the people that you want to train under you first.” He said.

I went to grab a pen and paper from a nearby drawer and started writing down their names. The moment I handed him the paper, he raised an eyebrow.

“Are you sure about this line-up? It’s really weird to say the least.” He said.

I grabbed the paper and wrote down their roles in the team. PD-nim stood beside me and was reading my part distribution. He was also shocked to find out that it actually made sense.

“How about this JayB-ah? We’re going to push through with the survival show” The moment he said that I groaned.

“Let me finish. BUT it’s just for publicity’s sake.” He said.

“Are you saying that we’ll rig the show?” I asked surprised.

It’s going to end up horribly if the people find out. But many CEOs have done that in the past and it actually worked. They actually had the trainees sign a nondisclosure form after they leave the show.

Should I go for it?

It’ll be harder if I promote them myself. The time and effort would greatly be reduced once they would be part of the survival show. It was the same for us. But the trauma that it’ll cause the girls. Especially when they find out that they were just used as a stepping stone. It’ll break them.

I guess we could form the rest of them in to units and give them to other artists to be trained. Then it’ll make good progress. When I was watching this survival show in the other world, it broke my heart many times. I couldn’t take it that I had to turn the computer after watching the elimination rounds.

But if it’s for them then it’s definitely for HER

“Okay. I’ll consider it.” I told him.

“I’m glad that we came in to an accord.” He replied.

I went for the door as I left him there still contemplating on the list that I gave him.

“Oh! JayB-ah! I have one more question.” He called out to me as soon as I grabbed the door handle.

I turn to him in curiosity.

“What do you plan to call them once they debut?” He asked.

This was the team that I would be handling and producing songs for. It would be a great privilege.

I smiled at PD-nim. “Let’s call them TWICE.”

____________

I collapsed on the stage as I nearly passed out from exhaustion. “Why is ‘Who’s Your Mama’s’ choreography so exhausting?!”

Everyone else who plopped down on the floor laughed.

The mangers then handed us some bottled water. “That’s it guys. We’ll end our rehearsals there.”

“Yeah! We should! It’s almost 3AM!” IU-sunbaenim complained.

Jackson who was patting his stomach said, “We haven’t had dinner yet.”

“I plan to skip dinner and just sleep.” Mark-hyung said in between his panting.

I stood up and stretched. “Manager-nim, have you gotten what I asked you?”

One of our managers gave a thumbs up and signaled some guys to come in.

“Is that” Jinyoung asked.

“Yes it is.” Yo Chul smirked.

Earlier today, I asked our manager to buy food for everyone. I knew that we wouldn’t have time to get some food since we already started late for our rehearsals because GOT7 had somewhere to perform first.

“PIZZA!” Bam Bam yelled.

They all turned to look at me. Some were giving me heart signs which made me chuckle.

“How many did you buy?” Sana who was part of the trainees came to me and asked.

“Oh? Hmm? About a hundred boxes I think.” I replied.

Her jaw dropped. “A hundred you’re crazy you know that oppa?”

I chuckled and flicked her forehead. “Not as crazy as you.”

I started singing Mr. Taxi which was one of the songs that I gave to Girls Generation. It was a song that she auditioned to.

She started hitting me in embarrassment while I just laughed. Then everyone started teasing us which made her stop.

Oh did I forgot to mention that miss mystery girl is one of the trainees. She looked at me with a serious look and when I caught her staring at me, she immediately looked away.

Why is she angry at me?

Well, whatever there was another girl staring angrily at me right now.

IU-noona

Ever since the after party, she didn’t contact me nor has she talked to me. It was really weird. I also stayed away from her because of the saesang incident. It wouldn’t be safe to be with someone for now because of that incident. It’ll definitely put them in danger.

We took our late dinner and really savored it.

__________

“Thanks for the meal, JayB-sunbaenim!” One of the trainees said.

I gave a small bow. “Anytime. Please be safe in getting home.”

“Will you guys be taking the taxi?” Jiwoo came over and asked.

“Yes. Since there are no more buses and trains at this time.” One of the trainees answered.

He pulled out his car keys. “I can drive some of you home if you want.”

“You can take these girls. I’ll take the taxi since we won’t fit.” Tzuyu said. She’s actually one of the trainees.

“Tzuyu-a, I’ll drive the trainees instead. Jiwoo can take you to your apartment.” Zee butted in.

Jiwoo has been trying to make his move with Tzuyu ever since we started practicing for the song festival.

Tzuyu stared at Jiwoo with her stoic face. “Alright. I’ll take that offer.”

“Shall we?” Jiwoo asked.

Tzuyu gave a small nod. When Jiwoo passed by Zee, they gave each other a fist bump.

“Why is Tzuyu-unnie so clueless?” Natty, who was the youngest among the trainees asked.

“I really don’t know why she can’t see it. Jiwoo-sunbaenim is obviously into her.” Somi said.

Zee then butted in. “Ladies, I think I should bring you home so that we can still enjoy our day off later on.”

The other members also did the same and brought the other trainees home. I turned around to see if I was the only one left.

“IU-sunbaenim? What are you waiting for?” I called out to her.

We were the only ones left in the place.

“My manager had to go back because of a family emergency, so I I’ll be taking a taxi back to the dorm.” She replied.

“I’ll drive you home instead. I have my car right here.” I said as I motioned towards my car.

She sighed. “Didn’t I tell you not to do these th-”

“I insist. I have to talk to you about something anyway.” I butted in.

She just glared at me.

“Just this one time. Please?” I told her.

She hailed a taxi, got in and left.

The KBS Song Festival finally arrived. After my day off yesterday, I’m finally at my top form today.

This award show was like any other, the red carpet, the short interview, and the performances, all these things were really almost like MAMA. But the difference was, most of the performances were covers of other artists or groups. This made it so fun.

The award ceremony finally came and since there weren’t many awards, they announced it in one segment. We were able to win the Rookie of the Year and Song of the Year. After MAMA they learned their lesson and did not put us in the list for other Major awards which was okay for us since we will have our fair shot next year.

A couple of groups made their debut there. It was really fun to watch. Lovelyz finally made their debut on this stage. I guess Pledis entertainment is good with dealing with their girl groups now. It was really a fun performance.

It was finally our turn to perform.

We were the ones who were assigned to represent JYP Nation and were tasked to finish the show with a bang. IU-sunbaenim will perform her song, next would be GOT7 and then we were last to perform. After all our solo performance, we would then dance with the trainees with JYP’s song called “Who’s Your Mama?” while he sang it as well.

After the performance, the show officially ended. We were then asked to go to the grand hall of the venue to be with other idols, artists, actors, actresses, producers and other people within the industry. We were going to celebrate this year’s success.

“Didn’t we have a scheduled VLIVE tonight?” Zhang asked.

Everyone turned to him in surprise.

“You guys forgot, didn’t you?” He asked again.

We were really frantic about it. I asked the manager to find us a nearby dressing room so we could use it for our LIVE.

I guess the party comes after the LIVE.

It was a surprise LIVE anyway so we have to be in it for about 10 minutes only.

____________

“1 2 3”

“Take the lead! Hello! We are Alpha!”

We greeted the Pack as we started our VLIVE. Luckily, we were able to find us a room and Zee brought his iPad.

“So Pack we’re here for our surprise VLIVE!” Zee said excitedly.

“Right! So we’re in one of the dressing rooms for the festival. We actually wanted to talk to you about what happened behind the scenes.” Dominic also said.

Jiwoo then smiled at the camera. “So did you guys like our performance?”

The group chat then exploded with hearts and thumbs up and emojis with heart eyes. Fans were even screaming out our names.

“So where do you guys want to start?” Zee asked.

: Dressing room stories

: What happened in your dressing rooms?

: There were a lot of people that performed. What did you do in your dressing rooms?

: DRESSING ROOOOOOOOM!

“What did we do in the dressing room?” Zhang turned to me asking that question.

“Jiwoo and Zee were playing games on their phones.” I replied.

Zhang tried to recall what he did earlier.

Seiji-hyung then answered. “I remember Zhang and JayB were practicing our song when Matt and I were having our make-up done.”

Zhang then snapped his fingers. “Right! Now I remember. We were trying to hit the notes while doing the choreography.”

“Ah. Right. Now I remember.” I replied.

“Well I won’t remember any of that. Yo Chul-hyung and I were probably sleeping.” Dominic said.

We read out some of the comments which were hilarious.

: ZZZZZ

: Why are you guys always sleeping?

: LOL! THE SLEEPING BEAUTIES OF THE GROUP!

: I swear. When Yo Chul is not cooking, he’s probably sleeping.

: Zee and his games.

“I just love to sleep. If there’s a chance to sleep, I’d sleep.” Yo Chul-hyung said.

“Right! I remember this one time when the manager was looking for you. And you were sleeping under a pile of clothes.” Zee recalled.

“The manager ran to the bathroom because it was almost time to perform and you were nowhere to be found.” I told Yo Chul-hyung.

Dominic then said, “I believe it was in Inkigayo that you almost missed the performance.”

“Hyung, you should apologize to the manager after this.” Zhang said.

Yo Chul-hyung then faced the camera. “Sorry, manager-nim. I won’t worry you anymore.”

: AHHH! Oppa! You’re still cute when you apologize!

: Lol! But still sleeps anywhere!

: So who was the messiest one today?

: Pile of clothes? You guys are messy!

I noticed one of the comments.

“So one of the fans asked if who the messiest one among us is.” I told the group.

“Ahh. Why don’t we point the person on the count of three?” Matt-hyung suggested.

We all agreed and ended up pointing to different people. Zee got most of the votes while Dominic got 3 votes.

“If you go to the Maknae line’s room. It’s really a mess because of Zee.” Jiwoo confessed.

“I remember Matt-hyung coming and exploding on us because of Zee.” Zhang said.

Zee was taking none of it. “Hey! I clean the room!”

Zhang then rebutted. “Once every two months.”

Everybody laughed at what Zhang said.

: Lol! Zee! Cutie!

: UwU

: LOOOOOOL!

: OUCH! Apply cold water on that burnt area!

: ZHANG IS SAVAGE!

: Izzokay Zee! I still love you!

: What happened in the performance?

: Did someone make a mistake in the performance?

To prevent everyone else from crushing Zee’s morale, I decided to change the topic to cut the teasing short.

“Hey guys did anyone make a mistake in today’s performance?” I asked.

They all started looking away and pretending not to hear me.

I knew it

: Lol! Ignoring JayB 101

: Zee is like “I’m not here!”

: LOOOOL! No one wants to admit!

: EVEN ZHANG IS NOT ANSWERING! LOL!

I chuckled. “As the fans know, anyone who makes any mistakes in their lines or in the choreography during live performances has to do 100 laps around the dance studio.”

: SO SCREWED NOW!

: LOL! WHO MESSED UP?

: Can you do a live while they do the punishment?

: LOL!

: I’ve got to see this!

“So since no one is answering. I’ll ask the fans. If they tell me who it is, I’ll make you guys do 200 laps around the studio instead.” As soon as I said that, Zee suddenly raised his hand.

“I forgot the lyrics to my rap that’s why I pointed the mic to the crowd.” He admitted.

Seiji-hyung looked at him and said, “How could you forget the lyrics to the song we’ve been singing for how many months now?”

“Hey! I was nervous! You even slipped on the stairs on the way up the stage. If I didn’t catch you, you’d probably miss your part!”

The live went on with us messing around and answering some of the fans questions. We also shared our experience being on this stage for the first time. We also shared what happened during our rehearsals and all. Our story as to how we felt when we were performing with our sunbaenims were shared as well. We didn’t even notice that 10 minutes went by already.

“I guess that’s that. We need to head back to the party.” I told them.

: Already?!

: NOOOOOOO!

: Don’t gooooo!

: Enjoy the party guys!

: Jiwoo! I love you!

: Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

: Thank you for going LIVE guys!

We also greeted them a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year as well.

“This has been”

“Alpha! Thank you everyone! We love you!”

We ended our VLIVE there and joined the rest of the celebrities in the dining hall.

“Thank you so much for making me part of the drama Lee Junmoonim.” I shook my director’s hand.

“It was nothing. You really did really really well for a rookie. Is it okay if I hit you up if I have any more projects in the future?” He asked.

I was surprised that he actually wanted to stay in touch with me. It was something that I didn’t expect.

Why?

Because I thought that I didn’t do well during the drama.

I bowed to him. “Even if you just want me to cameo, I’d do it for free.”

He patted both my shoulders. “You’re a good kid, JayB-ssi. You’ll definitely make it far.”

“Thank you so much junmoonim. And please don’t be too formal with me.” I told him with a smile.

“Okay, JayB-ah.” He said before he started walking away.

“Oh right! I nearly forgot!” I was about to head to where my members were but he called out to me again.

He then told me to follow him because he wanted to introduce me to someone. I was curious because he seemed to be excited himself. As we were walking among the crowds, I noticed that we were approaching someone familiar.

As soon as the other guy saw him, they greeted each other.

“By the way, this is JayB from Alpha. You said you wanted to meet him.” Director Lee introduced me to him.

The other guy then extended his hand to me. “Jung Sung Hyo. I’m a huge fan of Alpha. And now, after watching you act in a drama, I became a fan of yours.”

Another legend has appeared

Director Lee then chuckled. “He’s actually one of the major producers of several well-known dramas.”

He then tapped Director Lee’s shoulder and said, “Come on now. Don’t flatter me.”

Director Lee laughed. “I’ll leave you two to talk.”

After he walked away, we were able to exchange pleasantries before he started becoming serious.

“JayB-ssi. I’m not going to beat around the bush. I want you to star in my drama as the male lead. I already approached a few actors and even got a friend of yours to play the second lead. What do you say?” He asked.

“Wow PD-nim! That’s really kind of you. But Alpha is going to be very busy early next year with our album promotions and I’m going to be handling a rookie group as their producer.” I replied.

He then smiled and said, “Yes, I heard. But I already talked to PD-nim and he said that he will give you more room to do this drama. In fact, other members of Alpha will also be in dramas. Jiwoo, Zhang, Zee and Jeong Do will be starring in a drama called ‘Boys Over Flowers’. They are actually talking to the Producer and Director right now.”

I turned to where he was pointing and saw that they were indeed happily chatting with a couple of people. They once told me that they wanted to be in the same drama together. I guess this is their chance.

“The other members will also be very busy with their promotions in their drama. So that is why I came to you because JYP PD-nim really speaks highly of you. He said you topped all your acting classes as a trainee. By a landslide at that.” He sounded so impressed.

I sighed and shook my head.

“You looked like you’re convinced.” He said with a smile.

“I am. Alright. I’ll take part. Who am I going to be starring with?” I had to feed my curiosity.

He then laughed. “You’re going to be starring with a good friend of yours who put in a good word for you, Yook Sungjae.”

Sungjae?

I guess he really did keep his promise that he’d put in a good word for our group.

“As for the leading lady oh! There she is!” He said which made me turn around to see a beautiful young lady heading over.

“You wanted to see me PD-nim?” she asked.

He then introduced us and I felt a little bit awkward since I was a huge fan of hers in the previous world. We never met personally because she was solely focused on acting alone while I was focused on producing music. We were actually industries apart. But one of the first songs that I have produced was for this very drama itself where she starred in.

I guess I’m replacing the male lead this time.

“It’s really nice to meet you JayB-ssi! I’m a huge fan!” She exclaimed.

Hey hey hey hey. I’m your biggest fan!

“Oh? What a coincidence. I’m actually a huge fan of yours. I replied to her as well.

The director then patter our shoulders. “I feel like this is love team is going to work.”

I knew the moment I met her that we would become really good friends. Besides, it was like having another younger sister.

We exchange numbers so we could get in touch with one another. Afterwards, I met a few people from different circles and from different idol groups as well.

I even met Go Hara from Kara and she told me that I was her bias. She even asked for my autograph. I happily gave her one of course. Some of the other idol groups noticed so they started asking for a selca with me as well.

This was really weird for me since I looked up to some of these idols and now they were asking for a picture together with me or even ask to sign their copy of our CD.

It went on like that for a while before I headed out to the venue’s garden to get some air. I was starting to get dizzy from all the people inside.

After resting and thinking of what happened tonight, I decided to call it a night. I asked the manager to bring my car over so I could just drive back to my dorm. While waiting I went through the garden to just reminisce about what happened this year.

A lot actually

Being part of Show Me Your Case.

Going through a survival show.

Shooting our first MV.

Releasing our first Album.

Writing songs for different groups.

Starring in a drama.

Meeting different people from my past life.

Meeting my previous group.

Winning awards in MAMA and in the Song Festival.

Everything seems so long ago. It didn’t feel like it happened all in one year. I guess a lot can really happen in one year.

I didn’t know that I was walking for a good few minutes until my manager called to inform me about my car being here.

I went back inside to inform my members that I was going on ahead. The manager gave me the key and I went to the parking lot.

After driving out of the parking lot and heading to the streets, I saw a group of people trying to harass a woman near a convenience.

Of all the places, she had to get out of the venue and expose herself to danger.

Seriously

“Hey miss. You seemed lost? Want to help you find your way back?” One of the guys told her while smiling creepily.

She then tried to avoid the guy from touching her. “No. I just went out for some air.”

“Now come on. Don’t be like that. Why don’t you spend some time with us?” Another guy continued to pester her.

“Hey. You look familiar. Aren’t you that idol girl? The solo artist who recently starred in a drama?” One of the other guys tried to confirm.

The guy who wanted to touch her earlier came to a realization. “It’s her! We hit the jackpot boys!”

They all laughed weirdly at the excitement before trying to drag her in to a dark ally.

Before they could continue doing what they were planning to do, I stopped my car in front of them and got out.

“What do you think you lowlifes are doing?” I asked.

They all turned to me in anger and one of them said, “Get lost pipsqueak. There’s nothing for you to see here.”

As they said that, they let go of the girl so she got free. She looked shocked to see me here.

“Noona, get in the car. Now.” I told her.

She nodded slightly before she started approaching me. One the guys grabbed her wrist to prevent her from getting inside the car.

“Where do you think you’re going? I told you that you’re coming with us.” He said.

Before he could continue speaking, I landed a jab to his throat forcing him to let go of IU-noona as he started choking. When he was bending down while gasping for air, I let his chin meet my right knee which sent him flying backwards before he passed out.

“You little punk!” The guy who was nearest to me tried charging at me.

I immediately did a roundhouse kick to the side of his temple sending him flying towards his other friend making them fall down. The guy I hit automatically passed out. The guy who was still conscious tried to get his friend off while I slowly approached him.

I must have lost my mind for a while because I really wanted to kill this guy for a second there. He was the first one to touch IU-noona after all.

He seemed to be frightened of me as he frantically tried to get his friend off him. I didn’t let him escape though. As soon as I was near him, I slowly stepped on his hand, slowly crushing it. He was screaming and cursing at me.

To make him shut-up, I broke his nose by punching him. He was glaring at me right now.

“You’re lucky that this is all I’m doing to you. I can make you bedridden for life if I wanted to. Killing you would be mercy.” As soon as I said that, he started shivering.

He started begging for me to spare him. I did. But I broke his other arm just in case before knocking him out unconscious by kicking his face.

I then dragged IU-noona back to my car and started driving.

__________

“What the hell were you thinking?!” I yelled.

She just stayed quiet. I tried not to get mad at her while I was heading towards her dorm, but no matter what I tried to do to calm myself down, I still can’t find the reason why she left the venue without bodyguards on her and without a disguise at that.

“What would you have done if I didn’t come, huh?!” I asked her, still angry at her.

When she still didn’t answer, I tried calming myself down.

I sighed. “We’re here. I already texted your manager that I brought you back to your dorm.”

She didn’t go out of the car yet and just sat there motionless. I didn’t want to shoo her away so I waited for to be the one to get out of the car.

She suddenly started crying before she went out of the car. I didn’t want to let her go just like that, so I immediately went out of the car and ran after her.

I didn’t know what came over me, but as soon as I was able to grab her wrist, I pulled her towards me into a tight hug.

“I’m sorry if I yelled earlier. I just didn’t know what I’d do if something bad happened to you.” I told her.

She didn’t say anything. Instead, she started weeping and sobbing on my chest. I didn’t pull away and just gave her all the time she needed to pull herself together.

It took about 20 minutes for her to do so. My suit was already covered with her sweat, snot and tears so she felt apologetic about it while telling me to look away saying that she must have looked ugly right now because she cried a lot.

We decided to sit down in front of her dorm door. It was really cold outside right now, but it somehow felt comfortable.

“I’m sorry for acting the way i did earlier…” She said which made me turn my attention to her.

I didn’t say anything because I was just waiting for her to explain her side.

“And thank you for earlier. I mean it.” She continued.

I guess she doesn’t want to give me a reason why she did that. She risked exposing herself on that street for no reason. I guess she’s still mad at me for playing with her heart. I won’t press on any longer.

I stood up and patted my pants to get rid of the snow. “Well, it’s late. You should get inside and warm yourself up. I’ll see you around.”

When I was about to walk back to my car, I felt a tug on my shirt. It was Noona who was pinching my shirt to stop me from moving.

She slowly stood up. “I went out to get some air because I was thinking of a lot of things. I didn’t notice that I was already far from the venue and without any security on me.”

I turned around to see her crying again. Seeing this broke my heart. She must be going through a lot. I wiped her tears away.

“Noona, you know you have me to share these things with, right?” I asked her as I smiled.

She turned to look at me in the eye and said, “How can I, when the things that I were thinking of were all about you?”

My heart skipped a beat. She really must like me. I didn’t know what to say, so I responded in a way that would tell her how I feel.

I leaned in to kiss her

It was a long passionate kiss. Well, of course. I had practice because she was my first kiss in the drama.

When I pulled away I caressed her face. “You can tell me anything because you’re mine now.”

She slowly held my hand and intertwined it with hers.

She then smiled at me and said, “Do you want to spend the night here with me? I mean it is getting pretty late and the roads are getting slippery because of the snow.”

I chuckled at her question before giving her a nod. We both held each other’s hand as we entered her dorm before locking the door.
