Chapter 1 - Path-crossings.

You hurried out of your apartment block, noticing that you had left home for your job 5 minutes later than usual. As you hurried, you managed to mentally check if you’ve missed out on anything whilst leaving home.

Wallet, check. Hair tie, check. Umbrella…You stopped in your tracks to check on your tote bag, hoping you carried your retractable dark blue umbrella.  “Oh my god. Thank goodness it’s here,” you huffed quietly to yourself. You fixed your bag on yourself before proceeding your way to work.

It was like any other day. The street was somewhat less crowded with cars, seeing that it is half an hour to 10 o’ clock. You slowed down your steps as you realized that you weren’t that late yet and decided to just leisurely walk instead.

Buildings passed by, some shops were passed by…you were getting close to your workplace and you still had time to spare. You stopped walking on the sidewalk you had been walking along the past 20 minutes. On your right, you could see the familiar building. The one building that you have made a landmark of when you first moved to the area, only because it was clearly no ordinary building- and also because it was only a block away from your workplace.

The somewhat intimidating building…YG Entertainment’s building. A place where all of the top kpop stars emerged from. You were a huge Kpop fan back in your high school days so you knew a few of the YG artists such as Big Bang, 2NE1, Blackpink, Winner, iKon and their new group was Treasure if you weren’t mistaken- since you’ve heard and followed them on social media. I mean, who wouldn’t? They were such a big hit and you could not not be a fan. You were pretty sure there were other groups from the company that made it big too but you couldn’t seem to pull out their names out of your (foggy) head.

You were busy staring at the building when suddenly--- “meow”

Your head turned 90 degrees to the left swiftly. What was that? Was that a cat? You took a step towards where you think you heard the sound was from.

That’s weird. Why only a single meow? How will I ever know if it’s really a cat or not?

Being the cat person that you are, you were determined to figure out if there really was a cat near you. You know, just in case the cat was in distress. To hell if you were late for work, you thought.

“M-meow?” You called out to the invisible cat. “Meow are you there?”

Nothing.

You took a deep breath. Okay maybe you were imagining things. Yeah okay, the crazy cat lady has gone whacko this time around; you rolled your eyes at yourself for trying to play hero when you were clearly heading to work—which is way more important at the moment.

“meow!”

There it was again! You turned back towards the sound. Well, screw this. You were sure now that there was a cat nearby. Your steps walked fast towards the nearby YG bus parked on the side of the road. Maybe…maybe the cat is under the bus!

You hurriedly walked toward the bus and kneeled down, peeking to see under it. And surely enough, there was a cat sitting down underneath it.

“Oh my god.” You exclaimed when you saw the cat; relieved that it wasn’t harmed in any way.

“Hey. Come here meowie. Here.” You tried to call out to it.

The cat sat there and stared at you, probably wondering who this stranger was and why you were bothering him.

“Hey, come here meowie. Come here, comeeee,” you tried again. You made a gesture with your hand, making it seem as if you were offering a treat for the cat.

The cat, falling for your act, stood on all fours, stretched and walked towards you. You smiled seeing the cute creature approaching you, finally.

You hurriedly pet the cat on its head and started stroking it, making the cat purr and rolling around on the floor- loving the attention that it’s getting.

“Aigoo. You’re a cutie aren’t you?” You cooed at it, smiling happily to yourself now that you’ve found a cute new friend.

The cat rubbed itself against your leg, purring and meowing, loving the attention from you. You started to feel bad that you didn’t bring your small pack of cat food from home. You normally carry a small pack to feed the strays outside your apartment building but since today you left home in a rush, you had forgotten to grab it on your way out.

You continued petting the cat, letting its purr fill your surroundings. What a cutie. Too bad I don’t have any treats to give…; you pouted at the thought of leaving this cat with no token of you to be remembered by. You wanted the cat to remember you, almost like how you did your best in making sure the cats near your apartment block remember you since you frequently feed them.

With your hand still stroking the cat’s head as it purrs with its eyes closed (clearly enjoying the massage your hand was giving), your eyes scanned around to see if there were any shops nearby that might sell some pet food or treat. That’s when your eyes landed at the store located right opposite the front side of YG’s building. That’s it!

You got up from kneeling, making the cat open its eyes- wondering why this human stopped petting her. You brushed your pants down, making sure there weren’t any dirt stuck on it.

“Okay meowie, you wait right here okay? I’ll be right back. Stay!” you said, as you backed off slowly from the cat. The cat looked like it understood what you were saying so you decided to hurry before the cat changes its mind to wander somewhere else.

Without any time to waste, you ran across the street to buy some treats for the little cutie.

 *

 Hyunsuk was walking casually towards the YG building, where he had a day-filled schedule waiting for him ahead. His hands were tucked in his pants’ pockets, keeping them warm since the weather seemed chilly this morning. He was about to make a turn towards the main entrance of the building when a girl he’s never seen before was half-walking, half-running, passing by him and crossing the street beside him.

He stopped to see what was going on. It seemed that the girl was hurrying to the convenience store in front of his building. He shrugged to himself, maybe she had forgotten to buy something.

Hyunsuk fixed his headphones, taking out his phone to choose another song to listen to. His walk to the practice room takes around 6-7 minutes plus-minus him greeting the staffs on his way there so he reckoned that it would take around 3 songs for him to arrive there.

He was about to make his way towards the entrance again, when the same girl dashed before him, literally crossing his path again. She ran towards the YG bus and kneeled on the ground beside it.

Hyunsuk frowned. The heck is wrong with this person? Why is she kneeling in front of the company’s bus? As much as he wasn’t the type to judge, it was kind of…rare…to see anyone kneeling in front of their company’s empty bus.

He decided to maybe just approach the girl, to see what she’s up to. Maybe just keep a safe distance, in case she’s a zombie or something; he told himself.

Hyunsuk walked up towards the girl slowly, still having a huge distance between them. Step, step, step…and suddenly the girl stood up. Hyunsuk froze in his spot. Clearly the girl was oblivious about him approaching, since her back was facing him, but Hyunsuk was worried that it would be obvious he was heading towards the girl.

The girl backed away from her spot, still having her back facing him. It seemed like she was talking or muttering to herself. Hyunsuk stayed put. He didn’t realise it but he felt like he was holding his breath.

And then it happened. The girl turned around. But then again, Hyunsuk couldn’t even catch what she looked like because the moment she turned around, she was already running away from the building. It happened so fast, Hyunsuk swore that it felt like he missed looking at her in just a split second.

Hyunsuk turned around, watching the girl’s figure slowly fading as she turned right, probably heading towards another building or another block ahead. Shaking his head, he decided to just make his way towards his practice room.

 *

 You ran across the street, back to where the cat was, in hopes that it didn’t leave the spot earlier. You arrived in front of the bus and kneeled down once again. Thank god the cat was still there!

“Hey…Hey there cutie. Look what I got you~”, you called out to the cat whom was sitting under the bus like before. The cat’s ears and eyes perked seeing what you held in your hand.

“That’s right~. I got you some kibbles my little one~.” You smiled whilst saying it in a baby-talk manner.

You shook the packet of the kibbles and the cat immediately got up and approached you. You smiled to yourself again. You couldn’t help but feel really happy seeing the extremely cute creature rubbing its head against your thighs, making faces as it asks for the food from you.

“Oh alright, I’ll give it to you now!” You surrendered to the cat. You poured some of the kibbles onto the ground and the cat immediately gobbled it up.

“Oh gosh…you must be really hungry…Here, have some more baby!” You said dramatically, pouring more of the kibble towards the cat.

You watched as the cat ate through the kibbles you poured for it. The cat is super cute. Okay maybe it’s because you’re a cat person- that made you so obsessed and so happy whenever you get to interact with a cat. But it’s also because you believed that the only companions that you’d ever want to have for the rest of your life are cats. It’s not like you’ve never dated or been in any relationship before too, you had, and you had enough of them failed relationships.

You sighed. Maybe all those failed relationships had made it harder for you to fall for anyone at the moment. You had been avoiding outings with your colleagues simply because you knew they were trying to set you up with the people they know--- people who they think would ‘fit’ to be with you, also because they told you that you had no social life.

You rolled your eyes to yourself. Pfft. Me? No life? I have a job that I enjoy doing, I get to stay home whenever I’m free, I have my own go-to supermarket that’s not far from my home,, aaaand I get to meet cats every day! I don’t need anything else in my life. I’m contented this way. (Yeah okay girlfriend, keep telling yourself that lmao)

The cat was still munching on the food when you decided to check what time it was. Shoot! You stood up quickly. Never in your life had you ever stood up that fast— you felt your head spin for a second or so. You were running late for work!

You walked backwards slowly, afraid that if you dashed off, you might startle the poor cat and it would run away. So you backed yourself away from the cat slowly…

The cat noticed you moving and looked up at you. “Oh! Oh nothing meowie. I just need to leave now. I’m late for work. I’ll be back tomorrow okay? I promise. Just continue eating yeah?”

The cat continued staring at you for a couple more seconds. “Go on. Eat up baby. I’ll be back tomorrow okay?” You noticed the cat no longer having its gaze on you so you hurriedly ran away from the spot.

You ran as fast as you could, ignoring the fact that the wind would mess up your hair eventually once you arrived at work. Luckily, your workplace was just a block away from the YG Ent. Building so you showed up not being all too sweaty at work.

“Gosh, what happened to your hair?”, a colleague asked.

You tried to quickly comb it with your fingers. “Oh nothing, I didn’t realise I was running late so I ran all the way here.”, you said, slightly panting from the unexpected cardio you had just done.

“Oh okay. Well you better sit at your table before Boss-nim makes his round here.”, your colleague said as she focused back on her laptop.

You nodded and went to your table. You took off your jacket and hung it onto your chair. Plopping into your chair, you took out the handouts you’ve made for your students and started checking for any printing or typography errors.

It seemed like any ordinary day, with the same tasks at work, you thought. But maybe the difference today was that you had made a new cat friend and it definitely lifted your mood for the whole day. You smiled. You couldn’t wait to see the cat again tomorrow. I’ll make sure to wake up early tomorrow so I can feed the cats at the apartment ground and the cat I met today! Now, I’ll just focus on work! Hwaiting y/n!

…Little did you know that you were going to have more random encounters in the nearest future.

 *

 5.00 pm. You noticed the time on your computer stating that it was time for you to leave work. Getting up from your seat, you started packing up your bag and cleaning up your desk, not wanting to leave it in a mess (not like you to mess up your work desk though). You lifted your head slightly to peek the rest of your colleagues and you notice that they were practically doing the same thing as you.

After you were done with everything, you left your desk to go and clock out at the machine located near the exit of your department’s floor. Beep. You smiled to yourself. Another productive day done and over with.

“See you all tomorrow!”, you said cheerfully at the line of colleagues waiting for their turn to clock out of work as well. With that, you turned your heel and left for home.

 *

 You were on your way back home, and as usual, you would be passing by the YG Building. Your steps were slow, almost like you were taking a stroll but in reality, it was just you taking your time to cool off your feet from the pain the you got from wearing heels all day at work.

Damn I should’ve brought some slippers in my bag. At least I would’ve been able to change into it after work. You nagged at yourself for thinking of this millions of times and yet you never seem to be bothered to bring your slippers with you to work.

Just as you passed the building, you passed by a guy whom was holding up an ice cream cone in his hand. He looked pleased to have the ice cream cone—okay but who wouldn’t be happy with ice cream? You eyed the cone in his hand as the both of you passed, without realizing it, he was eyeing you on his part.

Why is she staring at my hands that way? Is it that weird? Hyunsuk stopped in his tracks as you passed him by after the brief eyeing moment you both shared. He checked out his other hand that wasn’t holding the ice cream cone. He fisted it and glared at his hand for some time, that is, until someone called out his name.

“Hyunsuk-hyung! What are you doing staring at your hand like that?” It was Junkyu, his group member who was walking up towards him. “Your ice cream is melting hyung. Why aren’t you eating it?” He asked, obviously sounding like he was weirded out by his hyung’s weird behaviour.

“Oh nothing haha.” Hyunsuk gestured Junkyu to walk along with him back to the building. “Why’d you come out here? Did Jihoon send you out to call me?”

“No, Jihoon-hyung was busy doing the harlem shake in the practice room so I came out here so that you could stop him.”

Hyunsuk lets out a laugh. “Okay, okay I get it. Let’s get inside quickly.”

 *

 The next day, you hurried out of your apartment block earlier than yesterday, making it a point to bring your pack of cat foods along in your tote bag. You looked forward to meeting the new cat friend again today.

Step, step, step, before you knew it, you reached in front of the YG building again. Your eyes roamed around the area, searching for the cat. You didn’t want to simply go near the building and be caught trespassing—I mean, that would be stupid, being caught trespassing the YG premises simply because you were searching for a cat—not a human, a cat.

Okay but to be logical, how would you even find the cat? Should you call out to it? But you didn’t know the cat’s name, that is if it had a name to begin with. You bit your bottom lip. Should I just call out to it? Like, just call out “meow meow”?

You took a step forward. Okay maybe one step forward won’t hurt? You took another step forward towards the front entrance of the building. “Me-meow?”

No sound. You felt stupid for calling out to a random cat in public. A cat that barely knows your existence. But you were already standing there so you might as well do your best and call out to it right??

You took a deep breath. “Meow! Meow where are you? Hellooooo here, here, meowie!” you called out to the cat whilst shaking the bag of kibbles in your hand.

“Meow!”

Your eyes widened. Bingo! The cat was still here! “Meowwww where are youuu”

“Meowww!”

You turned around, leaving the entrance of the building and walked towards a tree not far opposite the entrance itself. “Hey, are you here? Hey hey I’m here meowie!” You called out near the tree and bushes.

Suddenly, the cat showed up from behind one of the bushes. It seemed scared to approach you, so you knelt down in front of it to ensure that you wouldn’t seem intimidating to it.  

“Hi. It’s me again.” You smiled at the cat. Not like the cat could understand you though lol.

The cat backed away a little, still not recognizing you.

You hurriedly opened the cat kibbles in your hands and poured it a safe distance towards the cat. “Okay here you go. I promised to come back didn’t I?” you said softly.

The cat sniffed the food, slowly approaching you. At this point you were desperate to have the cat eat the food poured out that you backed away from the spot you were in initially. The cat, having seeing you were backing away, slowly made its way towards the kibbles and gobbled at it hungrily.

You pouted, feeling sorry for the poor little thing eating away like that. You walked up towards it slowly. The cat flinched, noticing you were near again but continued eating the cat food. You poured more of the kibbles onto the ground beside the cat, not wanting it to feel hungry anymore.

This time, you tried to extend your hand to touch the cat. Seeing that the cat is focused on eating, your hand slowly pats its back. The cat purred, loving the gentle touch you were giving it. You smiled a little. “You poor thing, you must’ve been really hungry waiting for me. I’m sorry. I wish I could give you more than just these…”

 *

This morning, Hyunsuk planned on working on the new dance moves he learned yesterday. So he decided to leave the dorms early and be the only one using the dance room. As usual, he wore his headphones whilst walking towards the YG building.

Hyunsuk reached the building not too long after his brisk walk there. As he heads toward the entrance, again he saw a girl he’s never seen before there. His eyebrows furrowed. Is this the same girl as yesterday? And if so, why is she kneeling nearby the tree this time?

Hyunsuk decided to check out if there was anything wrong with the girl since he had plenty of time before his self-practice. Taking off his headphones, he walks towards the girl whom was a few meters away from him.

 *

You were busy smiling to yourself, feeling happy that the cat was comfortable with your presence again. You didn’t realise that a guy had approached you, being curious about your presence in front of the building he works at.

“E-excuse me,” You heard a voice called out behind you. Your shoulders jumped slightly, not expecting anyone to be near you, also not realizing anyone had approached you.

Still kneeling on the ground, you turned your head to face the voice that had called out to you.

You felt your eyebrows raise a little, not expecting to see the person in front of you- talking to you. Is that…Choi Hyunsuk?

Seeing that you hadn’t respond to him, Hyunsuk proceeded to ask, “Are you okay? Are you hurt somewhere?”

“I…What?” You tried to keep yourself focused on the guy standing in front of you. “Oh, yeah I’m fine! What- I mean, why are you asking?”

Hyunsuk smiled slightly. “You’re��kneeling on the ground…”

“Oh! Oh, sorry, I was feeding this cat here,” you chuckled. You moved slightly, showing Hyunsuk the cat that was eating beside you.

Hyunsuk laughed slightly. “Oh, I thought you were hurt or something. I’m sorry for bothering you.”

“Oh no it’s fine,” you smiled back at him. You thought it was sweet of him to be concerned of a stranger like you. He’s indeed a nice guy, you thought to yourself.

“Alright, I’ll leave you to it then,”

“Yeah, thank you for checking up on me—“, you stopped talking as you notice a streak of water hitting your blouse sleeve.

Your eyes widened. Did the cat just--?? Your wide eyes met Hyunsuk’s. He looked just as shocked as you.

You were too stunned to move. The cat….sprayed on you…The cat that you fed….sprayed it’s pee on you….on your work clothes….

Suddenly you heard Hyunsuk’s voice, “Watch out, I think it’s gonna-“

Psst. You felt the front side of your blouse growing wet this time. Your mouth made an ‘o’ shape. You were more shocked than ever. The cat looked up at you and rubbed its head against your knee, purring.

You couldn’t move. You were too shocked and embarrassed to do anything to be honest. If the cat was grateful enough for the food you gave, you were pretty sure that peeing on you wasn’t the right way to say thank you! And this happened right in front of Hyunsuk too! An artist that you just met!

The cat rubbed against your knee for a while before leaving you, disappearing behind the bushes again. Your eyes moved to Hyunsuk who was still standing near you. A safe distance from you of course.

Hyunsuk’s eyes were still wide, not really sure if what he saw really happened.

  *

“Watch out, I think it’s gonna—” Hyunsuk said as he saw the cat’s tail perk up and facing you.

Psst.

He was too late to warn you.

He fell silent as a few minutes passed with you still kneeling down on the ground, seemingly shocked by what had happened. The cat left and he saw your eyes looking at him. You looked like your soul had just left your body. Or maybe, you looked like a lost kid at an amusement park, clueless and wide-eyed.

Hyunsuk couldn’t help himself. He quickly turned around and covered his mouth with his hand. He wanted to laugh. He wanted to laugh so hard. He couldn’t believe himself; he actually finds the incident to be funny! The girl literally got sprayed by the cat’s pee TWICE!

Still holding his laughter to himself, he heard a loud sigh behind him. He decided to turn around to face you again.

You were already standing up when he turned around. You were brushing your skirt with your hands, dusting off the dust that weren’t visible in his opinion.

His lips trembled as he tried to not laugh at you. Instead, he asked again,” A-are you okay?”

You looked like you were too baffled to speak, but you answered him, “I…I think? I don’t know what happened. Oh my god.” Truthfully, your eyes were getting teary. You felt embarrassed. You couldn’t believe this happened to you, today. You could see Hyunsuk’s expression, all awkward just staring at you.

You decided to hurriedly leave the place. “I uh, I should leave now. I need to get to work.” You fixed your tote bag on your shoulder.

“Wait, like that? You’re going to work just like that? With…” Hyunsuk tried not to laugh out loud. He swallowed a breath before continuing, “With cat piss all over you??” It took all his might not to laugh when he said the word piss.

You let out an exasperated sigh. You blinked back the tears that were forming in your eyes. “What else is there to do? I’m not running back to my apartment. I can just get changed into my sweater that I left in my office. It’s no biggie really.”

Hyunsuk actually felt sorry for you. What luck for a girl like whom wanted to feed a stray cat and ended up getting peed on- twice. Suddenly, he had an idea.

“Wait, let me help you.”

“Huh? How?” You looked at him questioningly.

To be continued.

Author’s note: Hi! I hope you guys enjoyed reading this fic. I’m working on the second chapter at the moment so please forward to it! Also, if the chapter is too long, let me know yea? I’ll try making the future chapters shorter :’) Take care everyone! - Rin

[ikonis]

but "ikon" isn't that active. In terms of ot7 appearances it's weak. Blanket defending shitty promotion style isn't Bobby hate. People who stan double B never want to hear how unhappy the vocalists stans are. It's really gross. Like if you're not up double b's ass you're not a real ikonic. You used to be one of the few ikonics that could admit there was a problem. Now you said "just be happy"

iKON is indeed THAT active. iKON is actually active than ever. If you close your eyes to the amount of iKON content we got for this era alone, it’s because you want to have something to get angry about and rant. Some iKON contents we got this era

Jinhwan & Chanwoo (plus appearance of OT7) on attraction TV (3 episodes each 6-10 minutes long/variety)

Jinhwan on Get it beauty (variety)

iKON as OT7 on 5 Radio shows

OT7 Vapp broadcasts (I think 3 or 4 so far)

7 Yunhyeong vapp broadcasts (one with jinhwan in it)

Two behind the scenes videos (again OT7)

Tons and tons of fansign events (YG even posted a short video of the fansign, again OT7)

iKON interview on POPS in Seoul  (OT7)

iKON special interview for iQlY (OT7)

OT7 instagram & fancafe updates 

iKON for Nivea CF (OT7)

I probably even missed a few things. I’m a huge OT7 stan so if I feel like something is being unfair, I voice out my opinion. However, since we NEVER got iKON on any variety before besides double b on running man and happy together, I’m happy about any content we get. Moreover, Bobby’s appearance was a surprise for everyone. Instead of being angry, we should be happy we got such a big surprise. And not only that. We got an inkigayo performance today AND iKON fansign event. iKON haven’t been this active EVER. If you feel it’s unfair that other members didn’t get to go on masked singer, it’s okay to feel that way. But if I don’t feel it’s being unfair, because ALL members have been active for this comeback, why can’t you accept it? I love OT7, I will always love OT7, and for this comeback I yet have to feel like one of them gets less than the other. Actually iKON never got this much as 7 before.

All My Idols Ch 27: Oppa

“Noona!” Junhoe busts into the room with a big smile on his face that quickly falls the moment he senses the atmosphere.

Jinhwan, who is right on the younger boy’s heels doesn’t see the angry looking men already in the room and continues with their playful entrance, “We heard you didn’t eat lunch, you better eat something before Big…Bang…um shows up… Hello Hyungs.” All of Ikon fills in the already full waiting room, making the atmosphere even tenser.

“You haven’t eaten today either?” Seunghyun snarls.

I gulp, “I ate breakfast…”

“No,” Daesung snaps, “not much because you told us that you would eat a big lunch with Blackpink.”

“They were very busy so I was going to get something to eat later.”

“That isn’t even the main problem right now,” Youngbae stops the argument in it’s tracks, “we will come back to that. First we are going to get you to our room where we can get you some food and we can get an explanation.”

“Come on,” Seungri comes closer and offers his hand to me.

“Oppa,” Jisoo tries to sound as cute and innocent as possible, “you see, she um, can’t really walk by herself at the moment.”

“What?” The room snarls.

I sigh but motion for Lisa to uncover my ankle, “I twisted my ankle. Nothing too serious so don’t freak out okay?”

All eyes go to my ankle, I just sit there and wait for the first person to freak out. Not to my surprise it’s Jiyong to be hovering over it first, making Lisa jump back in surprise.

“How the hell did this happen?” He roars.

“I thought you were going to feed me first?” I question innocently.

I know he is absolutely fuming, his lips are pressed in a firm line, his chest is heaving but he doesn’t yell or scream or scold. Instead he scoops me up in his arms and carries me out of the room without another word. I knead my hands anxiously when the other four follow in the same horrifying silence. Jiyong is cautious as we turn to enter their room making sure my ankle doesn’t touch anything. He sits down with me on his lap but only for a moment before scooting farther down until my feet are resting there.

“We leave you alone for one morning and you get hurt, you are ruining any chance of me ever letting you out of my sight again,” Jiyong mumbles to himself as he checks me ankle. I notice that Youngbae is gone but before I have the chance to question his whereabouts he appears with a brown bag in his hands.

“It seems that Ikon were not the only ones worried about your eating habits. Himchan and Zelo were on their way to give this to you, but to keep from causing an up roar I figured I should deliver it. You will be staying in here the rest of the time in case you were wondering,” Youngbae informs me as he takes the massive amount of Chinese food out of the bag and sets it up on the coffee table in the center of the room.

I sigh, “I figured.”

“Well Youngbae is getting you a plate please explain how this happened,” Daesung commands softly, joining us the couch. I lay down, resting my head in his lap and give him an innocent smile. Jiyong receives a bandage from Seunghyun and gently begins wrapping my swollen ankle.

“I bumped into someone and fell, it was my fault so no need to riot.”

“How have you been working this whole time like this?” Youngbae hands me my food. I huff, ready to give some sassy response when he motions for me to eat a bit. After I shove a few large bites in my mouth he happily gives me permission to speak.

“Someone found one of those fancy chairs that four people carry you on, I’ve been living it up all day,” I tease but when no one cracks a smile I sigh, “I’ve just been getting piggy back rides from everyone, mostly NCT and Pentagon. It’s been really fun actually.”

“I’m still waiting as to why we didn’t get a call that you were hurt,” Seunghyun crouches down next to me.

I pout like a child and stare down at my hands, “Because I was having fun with all the young idols, even though I was hurt, I was afraid if I called you, you would bust in here and yell at everyone. I don’t want them to get in trouble because of my clumsiness.”

“Charlie,” Jiyong grabs my hands so I sitting up in his lap again, “I don’t ever want to hear you say you are afraid to call us again. You have no idea how much it hurts my heart to hear you say those words.”

“I’m sorry Oppa,” I sigh as I wrap my arms around his neck in a tight hug.

“There is a way you could make it up to us,” Seungri muses.

My eyes narrow on the youngest, “And what would that be?”

“We have to go to China next week for an award show and we want you to come with us.”

“Of course! Who else would I go with?”

“Well,” Youngbae chimes in, “As you can imagine we won’t be the only idols there so we wanted to make sure before someone else even suggests it to you.”

I chuckle, “You guys do realize that you are my number one oppas right? You guys come first, we live together for goodness sakes, you guys don’t need to worry about anyone else okay?”

“Yes,” They echo together.

“Great! Now I think it should almost be your turn to go and practice! You guys go ahead!” I smile and eagerly wave them away.

“No way in hell we are leaving you unattended,” Seungri quickly answers, “what if you need something? Like something to drink or more to eat or to use the bathroom?”

“You are going to take me to the bathroom?” I tease.

He scoffs, his cheeks tinted a pink hue, “Of course not but we can get some to!”

“I wasn’t going to put up a fight so calm down. Who is going to give me a ride?”

They all look at Jiyong who still has a possessive hold around my waist, “I’ve got you.” He sets me down on the seat before kneeling in front of me with his back facing me. I climb on, wrapping my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist. His arms are under my legs, holding me on securely. “Lets go!”

We file out of the room and weave our way through the busy halls, we greet the staff and do our best to ignore the stares and questions. It isn’t until we get closer to the stage that we actually begin running into idols and thankfully none of them are my usual oppas. NCT, as a whole, rush up to Big Bang and I and bow deeply.

“Hello Big Bang sunbaenim! Hello Charlie Noona! We wish you luck on your stage!” With that they rush away just as quickly, only Johnny is brave enough to stand back a second to give me a once over, “Make sure you ice that properly.”

“I will no worries, see you later tonight, I can’t wait to watch you preform for real!” I wave him away when I notice the poisonous look my oppas are giving him.

“I don’t even know what group that was…” Seunghyun scratches the back of his head as he tires to think.

“You old geezers need to get hip with the kids.”

“Hello sunbaenims!” Pentagon greets as they go by, “Hope you are feeling better Noona!”

“Thank you guys!”

“What the hell?” Youngbae eyes them as they go down the hall, “Why are there so many in these rookie groups?”

“Because it’s more fun,” I explain simply.

“Oh my god those ones are just massive!” Seungri points to KNK who are standing at the end of the hall doing one of those videoed quizzes. They bow to us, I give them a cheeky smile and flash a peace sign at the camera.

“When was the last time you guys were at an award show like that? How can you not know anyone?”

“Charlie!” Jin grins big when he sees me, the rest of his members no where in sight, thank god.

“I really must be out of the loop, who is this?” Dae muses playfully.

“Okay now you guys are just being assholes.”

............................................

A Week Later

“I feel absolutely ridiculous,” I grumble as I dramatically throw my arms out and lay my head back in the wheelchair Seunghyun insisted I ride in.

“Well,” He explains, “With your injury you can’t walk with your crutches and pull your luggage at the same time.”

“I don’t think I need crutches either.”

“The doctor said you need to stay off it until it’s fully healed and if you use it before hand you could make it worse.”

“It’s fully healed! I swear!”

Seungri scoffs, dragging both mine and his bag behind him, “I’m calling bullshit. You nearly collapsed this morning.”

I ignore him, “I’m surprised there are no crowds or fans here.” I scan around the airport arrival area for any fan girls or paparazzi but come up empty.

“We aren’t supposed to be here for a few more days so news about our arrival won’t get around for a couple hours. Oh look here comes our ride,” Daesung rushes out to flag down our van. The rest of us fallow behind at our own pace, the boys load up the car with the help of the driver before Youngbae so sweetly comes over and helps me in to the middle seat. I can’t hold in the grin spreading across my face as we begin driving into the center of Hong Kong. With my busy schedule I haven’t been able to travel much but of course my oppas are here to show me the world.

Seunghyun chuckles, “You look so amazed!”

I beam at him, “Because this is all so amazing! I’m so happy you guys brought me! Thank you so much!”

“We couldn’t just leave you at home by yourself, plus this vacation is going to be a lot more fun with you here,” Seungri pats my head. “I feel like I haven’t seen you at all lately. We need to catch up.”

“Oppa we live together, but I get what you mean. Your show is on Monday, we should go out just the two of us tomorrow night!”

“You want to go out on that ankle?” Youngbae questions.

“Guys I will be fine to dance for awhile and have some fun.”

Seungri grins, “I can’t wait!”

“Before we start thinking about that how about we think about lunch?” Jiyong pipes in from the spot behind me.

“Lets get checked into our hotel and then we can grab something,” Seunghyun advises. We make light small talk the drive to the hotel, they tell me about their experiences in town and some of the best places to eat. We pull up to the fancy hotel where bell boys are waiting to help us unload the luggage while Jiyong carries me in. They treat us like royalty upon entrance to the beautiful building, pretty receptionists are on one side of the door way, bowing politely.

“Welcome!” I can’t help but be in awe at their amazing welcome party, but I shouldn’t expect anything else. We hop in the elevator and head straight to the top floor. The boys step out and separate to claim their rooms, but to our surprise there are only three bedrooms available.

“I call rooming with Charlie!” Jiyong and Seungri declare at the same time.

“No I want to room with her!” Seungri whines like a child.

“You can,” Seunghyun decides, ignoring the death glare he is receiving from Jiyong. “I am not going to deal with your whining, I would much rather deal with Jiyong’s bad attitude.”

“Hyung, why do you get to decide?”

“Because I’m the oldest.”

Jiyong pouts.

“Yay! Charlie looks like it’s going to be me and you!” Seungri rips me away from Jiyong and twirls me around.

“If you try to rub it in his face I am going to take her,” The eldest warns.

“No fighting guys,” I push the youngest away and balance on my one foot. “I’m going to shower and change so we can get some lunch, I’m starving.”

“Here let me help,” Youngbae offers me an arm. I give him a small thanks as I wrap my arm around his and limp towards one of the rooms. I let him pick the room and thank him again as I close the bathroom door. Sheading my t-shirt and pants is a bit difficult balancing on one leg, but when I finally get it done I don’t waste a second before opening the shower door and climbing inside. It only takes me a few minutes to wash up and wrap myself in a fluffy towel.

“I left my stuff out there,” I groan. I hop into the room and jump out of my skin when I see a Seungri shirtless, standing in the middle of room. “Oh my god!” I loose my balance and fall back on my ass.

“Charlie! Are you okay?” He rushes over to help me.

“I’m fine, you just scared me,” I make sure my towel is secured around my chest before accepting his hand. “Is my suit case still out there?”

“Nope!” He answers cheerfully, dragging my bag out from the other side of the king sized bed. “What do you want to wear?” He rips it open and mindlessly begins digging in my bag.

“Um Oppa, I can grab my own clothes plus I don’t think you really want to grab my underwear, do you?”

His hands freeze, “Oh, um, yes, sorry, I’m am going to go wait with the others.”

“Um, Oppa, your shirt?” I hold up the new shirt he had set out. He snatches it out of my hand, I chuckle at the pink hue gracing his cheeks.

“See you out here!”

On my hands and knees I crawl across the floor to reach my bag and pick out a simple outfit. I can’t imagine how much of an idiot I look like rolling across the floor to pull my black ripped jeans and socks. I sit up to pull on my white crop top and black bomber jacket with patches on it. Jiyong knocks on the door, his head peeks in without a response like he usually does.

“I come baring gifts,” He holds up my black timberlands.

“Thank you!” I beam at him.

He brings them over, letting me pull them on and lace them all the way up. “Ready to go?”

I nod. He pulls me to my feet, offering me his arm like Youngbae did before. We walk out together, the others are already out there completely changed. Dressed in their usual outfits, Seunghyun rocking a full length trench coat, the others looking similar to me.

“Where are we going?” I ask in the elevator.

“There is some place across town that has delicious food, it’s totally worth the drive,” Seunghyun tells me.

They let me wobble across the lobby to the car waiting outside. In the car I sit in the back with Daesung and rest my head on his shoulder. He lays his head on mine and mumbles, “You seem a little off since the fight.” The others are too in tuned to their devices to pay attention.

“I feel bad,” I admit quietly. “I have been so busy with work I haven’t been able to spend a lot of time with you guys and now you all feel neglected.”

“Oh my sweet Charlie,” He chuckles, “Do not let these old men weigh your heart down. If you want to go out and live you go a head and do it, don’t worry about us.”

“I don’t want to go anywhere without you guys. I just feel guilty leaving all my friends too. I feel like I’m drowning some times. I’m not complaining but it’s a lot to give everyone time and work and spend time with you.”

He is silent.

“I’m so sorry,” I quickly apologize, “I sound like a spoiled brat. Just forget I said anything.”

“No Charlie, you don’t need to apologize! I just feel like an idiot for not thinking about what this must be like from your point of view. You must feel so over whelmed with so many people wanting your attention and you having so little time. Heck when you wanted time alone to get over being sick you literally had to leave your apartment to be alone because we kept busting in. I’m sorry.” His arm wraps his arm around my shoulders and pulls me close. I smile when he kisses my forehead, “Thank you for putting up with us.”

“I wouldn’t want my life any other way.”

Just wondering if any of you actually want Charlie to end up in a relationship. No matter what it will be a harem, you can all figure who at least two of them will be, Xiu and Jiyong, but any other preferences? Or any groups you want to see more of?

All My Idols Ch 9: Morning With Their Princess

“Little princess,” A sweet voice coos in my ear I let out an annoyed hum in response, earning a sweet sounding laugh from Dae. He is carrying me; to where I do not know nor do I really care at this point. “We’re back in the hotel in case you were wondering,”

“So much for going home,” I yawn as I tuck myself into Dae’s chest.

“Do want to wash your face and change?”

“Do I have to?” I whine.

“Yes,” Top says firmly, pulling me out of Daesung’s arms and puts me in his bathroom. He disappears for a minute before coming back with a t-shirt and a pair of shorts that I’m guessing belongs to GD by their size. I accept it before shooing him out the door to shower. I sleepily get under the running water, yelping quietly at the burning hot temperature but don’t turn it down. After about two minutes of mindlessly standing there I turn off the water and wrap a warm fluffy towel around myself. Looking in the mirror its as bad as I imagined, with my make running down my face and slightly curly black hair is a tangled mess.

Pulling on the new clothes Top had given me I step out into his bedroom to see him already changed into a set of silk pajamas. I shuffle towards the door sleepily in search of Dae or Youngbae.

“Where do you think you’re going with wet hair?” Top scolds from where he sits on his bed.

“I’m too tired to brush my hair,” I mumble from the hall.

“You silly girl,” He chuckles and lets me continue on.

“Dae oppa! Youngbae oppa!” I call out as I shuffle down the hall for one of my oppas.

“Yes my little princess,” Youngbae says popping his head out of his room, a towel on top of his head.

“Can you brush my hair?” I yawn and rub my eyes.

“Of course, come on in.” He ushers me in and has me sit down on the bed. He is also in his pajamas, sweatpants and a t-shirt. I wait patiently for him to go to his bathroom for his brush. I stay silent as he begins brushing my hair, trying to be gently but with curly hair it can’t really be done. But thankfully it only takes a few minutes for him to work for my curls and have them neatly curling to the base of my back. When he’s done he uses his own towel to dry my hair.

“Thank you oppa,” I say with another yawn as I lay back on the bed.

“No problem. Are you sleeping here?” He asks as he walks over to turn off the light.

“Yes please,” I mumble as I climb under the thick covers. He flips off the light before crawling into bed next to me. Without any hesitation I snuggle into his side, enjoying the warmth his body gives off. In no time I’m finally asleep in a bed for hopefully a decent period of time.

 ****************************

I roll over hopping to find the warmth that I’ve lost. I feel my way across the whole bed to come up empty, making me sit up, confused. The bed is cold, meaning Youngbae must have been gone for a while. Glancing at the bedside clock I see that it’s only 8 in the morning. I crawl out of bed, looking down to realize I must have kicked my shorts off in the middle of the night, but not bothering to find them with the t-shirt going mid thigh. But since it’s kind of chilly I take the small blanket from the foot of the bed and set out to find my oppa.

I find Youngbae’s slippers not far from the bed and slip them on before wandering into the hall. From down the hall I can hear GD’s voice, so I start loudly shuffling toward his voice.

“Oppa,” I call out with a yawn. GD stops talking and I hear him walking. We meet just as I’m about to step out into the main living area. He wraps his arms around me and gives me a warm hug.

“Good morning,” He kisses the top of my head sweetly.

“Oppa, where did everybody go?” I say into his chest still half asleep.

“They had schedules this morning but will be back this afternoon if you want to get some dinner.”

I hum in response.

“Are you hungry now?”

Again I hum.

“I have some guests right now so if you want to go put something more appropriate on you can come eat with us.” He teases.

I perk my head up at his words, both interested in the food and the guests. Glancing around GD I see seven boys seated in the large living room turned around in their spots; Ikon stare at me with wide eyes. Looking past them I find the coffee table filled with food. I spot delicious looking kimbap and rush over.

“Looks yummy!” I say gleefully as I plop down on the floor across from Ikon who are just staring at me.

“Charlie-ah, you should change,” GD says more fatherly this time.

I wave his worry away as I pick up a neatly rolled kimbap, “It’s fine, I have my blanket.” I look after I have already stuffed a piece of kimbap in my mouth and try not to laugh at the still gawking boys. GD rolls his eyes but comes and sits down on the floor next to me.

“Are you guys done staring?” GD nearly growls. The boys look down at their hands nervously but I just laugh.

“What are you boys doing here so early?” I ask as I continue to eat.

“Hyungnim is kind enough let help us out with one of our songs,” B.I explains only giving me a small glance, poor boy is horrified with GD glaring daggers at him. I swat at GD.

“Stop trying to look scary,” I say to him, “You’re far to cute to look mean.”

He cracks a smile at that and has to look away to hide his blush.

“What are you doing here Noona?” Bobby asks a bite awkwardly. The others smack him, a blush crawls across each other their faces.

I laugh, “Not what you naughty boys are thinking. I was too tired to go home and the boys can’t drop me off so I just slept here.”

“Oh sorry,” Bobby bows his head.

“Aigoo, why are you boys so up tight today? You were being all fun and cute last night. Is it because GD oppa is here?” They say nothing; that makes me give my oppa a glare. “What have you done to these poor boys?”

GD just looks confused, “I haven’t done anything to them, I’m always nice to them.”

“Than why do you look so grumpy towards them today?” He just looks away innocently, “Is it because of what I told you?”

“You told him that we let BTS man handle you?” Chanwoo jumps up looking terrified. GD snaps his eyes to the poor boy that spilled a secret.

“Who did what to my Charlie?” GD growls as he stands up as well.

“Hyungnim it’s not what you think!” B.I jumps up to defend his group.

“Oppa,” I try to pull the older man down.

“Don’t oppa me, those little kids did what to you? Why didn’t you tell us? Is that why they didn’t bring you back? I’m not going to let them get away with shit like that just because you like this dumbass!”

“Oppa!” I say firmly; though I only stand at his shoulder he steps back, surprised by my tone. “First of all they didn’t really man handle me, they were just being a little friendly. Second, I’m not covering for them it’s just a problem I solved on my own so I didn’t think it needed to be shared. Third, I’m a big girl who can take care of herself! Fourth, watch whose secrets you tell. Lastly, watch your mouth!”

He bows his head apologetically, “Sorry Charlie.”

“It’s okay Oppa, I still love you,” I smile at him a give him a tight hug before looking back to Ikon.

“I’m sorry for lashing out.” He gives them a small smile but only for a second, “but if you still want to be considered my Charlie’s knights in shining armor you won’t let that happen again right?”

“Yes!” They all say in unison.

“Good,” He gives them a smile before looking to me and patting my head.

“But about ‘because you like this dumbass’,” Bobby steps forward with a evil little smirk. I glare at my oppa.

GD grimaces, “Oops. Sorry Charlie.”

“Who were you talking about?” Bobby asks eagerly.

“Are we one of Noona’s biases?” Junhoe asks.

“Ya!” I glare at them. “Respect your noona’s privacy.”

“It involves us, I think we have the right to know,” Jinhwan teases.

“It’s B.I.” GD blurts out.

“Oppa!” I slap his arm.

“Aw really?” Bobby pouts.

“Noona, are you sure about that?” Junhoe asks me cutely.

“Leave it alone,” B.I says sternly as he settles down back on the couch looking anywhere but at me, a blush obvious across his face.

“But Hyung, you’re only saying that because she picked you!” Chanwoo whines.

“It’s unfair!” Yoonhyung joins in on their complaining.

“I like the rest of you too.”

Junhoe scoffs playfully, “I don’t believe it.”

“Noona,” Donghyuk says getting my attention, “What are you doing today? You should come to our practice.” I’m thrown off by his sudden sweetly asked question.

“Oh Noona please! It would be so much fun!” Bobby seems to be over the moon at the idea.

“I would but I don’t have any clothes.”

“Plus you should rest, you have a very active day yesterday.” GD adds in, sounding fatherly again.

“Jinhwan Hyung has extra sweatpants and a t-shirt you could wear, also you won’t be doing much, just sitting on the floor watching. We will have you back by lunch time,” Donghyuk says with another smile.

“Let me see how I look in these clothes first,” With a sigh I stand up. Jinhwan stands up too and leads me over to a pile of bags near the door. He digs in one for a minute before pulling out the promised clothes. I accept them before heading off to a room to change. It doesn’t take me long but I stop when I catch sight of myself in the hallway full length mirror. Taking in the only slightly over sized clothes, along with a sweatshirt and hat that I swiped from GD’s closet, I look like a pretty boy at just a glance. Walking into the living area I almost fall to the floor with laughter at the sight of the boys hanging their heads with GD talking down to them with a list of rules.

“If she wants to come home, you take her home. If she wants food, you get her food. If she says she is tired, let her take a nap or bring her home. Our Charlie has had a very tiring couple of days so let her rest when needed, alright?” GD says sternly.

“Yes, Hyungnim!” The boys say in unison.

“And if I hear about you letting her get, as you say, man handled one more time I will kill you all.” Even I get a chilly shiver from his words.

“Oh Oppa,” I say bringing their attention to me, “So scary.” He gives me a cheeky grin before eyeing me up and down. “I look cute don’t I?”

“Yes, you look very cute,” He teases before looking back to the younger boys. “Make sure to keep an eye on her. Now you should all be heading out to practice.”

“Okay, bye Oppa, have a good day.” I hug him briefly before following the line of boys to the door. Though I feel like an idiot wearing socks with sandals, I don’t have much of a option. I follow the boys out the door and down the hall to the elevator.

The trip to YG is as awkward as my first ride with big bang, but less formality. We spoke freely on the ride, having small conversations focusing mostly on the boys and their busy schedules. When we arrive I get much more comfortable, being in some place that has become a normal hang out spot for me. They lead me to the practice room, having me take a seat in front of the mirror.

“What song are you doing first?” I ask as I get situated in my spot.

“Do you have any requests?” Bobby asks.

“Dumb and dumber, I wasn’t able to watch most of it because of Lay.”

Jinhwan gives me a smile and an over exaggerated bow, “Anything for our princess.”

I smile gleefully as the music starts and the boys get in place. Through out the whole song I’m doing my best not to scream or dance along with them, not wanting to embarrass myself. They go into My Type and I have to continues holding myself back but also trying to give them a decent amount of support. After a few more songs my favorite song starts to play, Rhythm Ta. And suddenly I can’t hold myself back anymore. I find myself matching my arms to theirs and body rolling as best as I can with my legs crossed on the floor.

The boys smile big at my attempt, keeping their eyes on me. My eyes drift from person to person depending on the part. I can’t help but look at Hanbin during the body rolls and Junhoe as he cockily does his part. The urge to join Bobby as he goes extra crazy during his rap is too much for me and I begin rapping along loudly, making he stop from laughing too hard at my turning up.

“Noona,” Chanwoo teases from his spot, “Stop being so cute you’re distracting us.” But it’s too late; I’m too excited to stop. When the song is over I jump up and run over to B.I, latching my hands on his arm; much to his surprise.

“Hanbin-ah, Hanbin-ah, you have to teach me that dance!” I say nearly bouncing off the walls.

The boy nods bashfully, “Sure Noona, do you want to know the whole song or just the chorus?”

“I kind of already know the chorus. Show me everything else.”

And so he does. The boys eagerly help me, even changing their dance formations for eight people so I can do it with them. It doesn’t take me that long to figure the moves out, though I sure as hell didn’t look as aggressively attractive as they do when they do it, but I tried. They seem to very much enjoy my attempts at certain parts, especially at my fake toughness. Bobby is a bite too over joyed when I tell them that I’m not very good at body rolling, well compared to them. He eagerly steps forward to teach me, earning a smack from B.I and Jinhwan.

“Why did you hit me? I’m just trying to help Noona do it properly,” Bobby whines as he rubs the back of his head, trying to sooth his owie.

“You are a little pervert,” Jinhwan smacks him again.

“Fine Hyung, you teach her.” Bobby teases. Jinhwan looks at me nervously before looking away as if there is suddenly something much more interesting going around the room.

I roll my eyes at their silliness, “Junhoe-ah you come teach Noona, your Hyungs are too nervous.” I pull the boy close to me. He is nervous but not compared to his oldest Hyung and leader. He rolls his hips to show me once more, doing it slowly and annoyingly sexy. I try but automatically know it’s not even close to the movement I just watched Junhoe demonstrate.

“Here Noona, like this,” I’m surprised when the younger boy comes even closer to me and places his hands on my hips from behind me. He moves my hips for me moving them better then I would have been able to.

“Ya, ya, ya!” Bobby whines as he swats the youngers hands off my hips and him away for me. The other boys are just standing there gawking like usual, just as surprised as me. “Why does he get to touch her but I can?”

“Noona didn’t seem to mind, why did you push me?” Junhoe also joins in on the whining.

I can’t help but complain too, “I was just starting to get it.”

“I’ll teach you better than him Noona,” Bobby grumbles as he comes up to me and does the same as Junhoe, placing his hands firmly on my hips. But he gets even closer than Junhoe; though there is still space in between us, I can imagine it being only an inch or two. “Ready?” I nod as he begins moving my hips for me, just like before. He matches my movements to his, keeping our hips moving in sync. The other boys are staring, Junhoe, Jinhwan, and B.I all have a deep frown on their faces. “You’re doing really good Noona.” Bobby whispers into my ear.

“Okay, since she is doing so well, lets do the whole thing,” B.I claps his hands together to get all the attention on him. We all nod and get into place. The song begins and we all start with my all the way in the back. Through out the song I stay in the back only moving forward when needed so I don’t mess up their routine. I can feel their eyes on me, whether they are accessing my dancing skills or me in general I’m not really sure. When the song is over I’m pretty breathless. Jinhwan brings me a water bottle and I thank him.

“Very good Noona!” B.I pats my shoulder awkwardly.

“Yea you did really well for your first time,” Yoonhyung gives me a big grin.

“Thank you guys so much for teaching me.”

“If you want to learn any other dances just ask.”

I shake my head,” I don’t think I’d be good at any other songs. I only attempted this one because I watched your dance practice video so many times. I’m not a very good dancer.”

Junhoe shakes his head at my words, “I will give you one on one lessons if I have to!” He smirks at me.

“You little perv,” Jinhwan shoos the younger away.

“Come on Hyung, are you telling me you wouldn’t teach Noona the dance?”

“It’s not that I don’t want to it just that I don’t know Charlie’s comfort level with us and I don’t want to go past our friendship line by touching her too much,” He tries to explain cooly.

“You can touch me if you want Oppa,” I say stepping close to the older boy. He is surprised by my sudden closeness and almost falls back but I catch him and pull him into a loose hug; leaning back slightly to look at his face. Forgetting his short height our faces are really close. “I’m a very physically affectionate person so if we are going to be friends you should probably know.”

“I want to hug Noona!” Bobby whines as he pulls his hyung out of my grasp and pulls me into a tight hug.

“Aigoo, such a whiny boy,” I grumble as I pat his back.

“We also what hugs from Noona!” The rest of Ikon complains.

I roll my eyes at them but go to each member and give them a tight hug, even being brave enough to kiss B.I. on the cheek. Earning a chorus of hoots, cheers and whines for one of their own from a few.

All My Idols Ch 14: Exposed

A few days later

“Hold on a minute!” Seungri stops in the doorway, making me run into him and GD into me. He turns around still staring down at his phone, “Noona says not to leave and to turn on the TV.” I look over my shoulder at my other oppas who just looked annoyed by this demand.

“Did she say what this is about?” I ask as GD pulls me back to the living room of his apartment, plopping down on the couch with me in his lap.

Seungri shakes his head as he grabs the remote off the coffee table and turns the TV on. He flips through a few channels stopping only when we all see a picture of Seungri and I getting out of his car on a gossip channel. Seungri drops the remote and the room goes silent, all our attention on the words coming out of the pretty reporters mouth.

“Though not much is known,” The reporter continues, “Fans are buzzing about this new girl who has been seen with not only Seungri of Big Bang but with all of the other members as well.” More pictures of me with the other members flash on screen, mostly of us in parking lots or restaurants. GD’s grip around my waist tightens as I look to him, anxiety of what is to come.

“What now Oppa?” I ask as I burrow myself into his chest.

“We have to wait till Noona gets here to decide what we should do.”

“Am I going to get you guys in trouble?” I ask nervously.

GD smiles sweetly at me, “Don’t worry love, no one is getting in trouble.”

Suddenly the door busts open and Unni barges in, “She is in a whole lot of trouble.” I tense at her words, worrying how furious she must be with me but the apologetic look in her eyes tells me I’m not in trouble with her. “They are finding you in more and more pictures with other groups and the fans are all freaking out.”

I can’t help but ask, “Are they mad freaking out or curious freaking out?”

“I’m not sure yet, I’m hoping your magic persuasion potion will work on them too.”

“So are you going to take her public?” Daesung ask, worry obvious is his eyes.

“What do you mean public? She isn’t an idol,” Top snaps, he pauses for a minute as he tries to control his anger, something I’ve never seen. “Can’t we just ignore this? Charlie does not need to become some scandal.”

“It’s not that easy,” Unni says calmly, trying her best to keep everyone from freaking out. I look around at everyone’s angry or irritated face, feeling guilty for causing this trouble. I stand up and bow deeply, unable to ignore the tight feeling in my chest.

“I’m really sorry!” I say in a small voice, still staring at the ground. “I didn’t mean to be a bother. Please don’t be mad at me.”

Youngbae comes over to me and hugs me tight, “We aren’t mad at you. Don’t you ever think that,” He leans back as he scolds me like a father.

“He’s right, little one,” Top pulls me down to where he is sitting on the other couch. “We would never be mad at you. This is not your fault, it is ours for not being able to protect you properly. Now the media is going to make a giant mess of things. We should be the ones that are sorry.”

“We should be asking you this,” Unni sits on the other side of me. “Do you want to go public, or do you want to ignore it like Top says?”

“I don’t know, I trust you Unni, this is your field, whatever you think is best.”

She takes a deep breath as she thinks it over, scanning each man’s face before saying, “I think you should go public.”

“What?” The five men pop up out of their seats and glare down at their noona.

“Will you calm down?” She snaps at them.

“Noona, you can’t be serious,” GD nearly growls.

“You guys,” I say firmly, “I want to hear why she thinks that, so could you please calm down?” They all huff and grumble but settle back down in their seats.

“I think you should go public because it will snip their curiosity in the butt. If we continue to hide you, they aren’t going to just give up, they’re going to keep digging and digging until they find you. Also,” She looks to the boys, “if she were to become public you wouldn’t have to sneak around with each other anymore. You could post pictures of her, talk about her in interviews. No more having to go to the same private restaurants, you could go anywhere you wanted together.”

Top scoffs, “Charlie will also become a target of fan hate. She won’t be able to walk out in public without being mobbed. How do you not understand that her going public means her becoming like us, trapped in our apartments or venues?”

“Hyung I think you’re exaggerating, plus you’re scaring Charlie,” Seungri reaches around Top to place a hand on my thigh.

“She has the right to know what is going to happen,” Top snaps back.

“You could say it in a nicer way at least, this is a lot to deal with,” The two glare at each other.

“He’s right,” I say bringing everyone’s attention to me. “But I’m still going to trust Unni on this, I’ll go public.”

Youngbae strokes my cheek, “Are you sure you’re ready to be  stuck like us?”

I smile softly at him, “If I’m stuck with you guys, I don’t see a problem.” Though he won’t admit it, Top smiles at my words.

“But what about the fans?” Daesung reminds us.

“I was thinking if you guys stand up for her, she should be good, at least when it comes to VIPS.” Unni suggests as she looks to her phone and begins quickly typing an email.

“What about YG Ahjusshi, is he going to be mad about all this?” I ask looking to her anxiously.

“As soon as he found out he suggested that the boys back you up. In fact, the whole company,” She smiles at me.

I can’t hide my shock, “Really? Why?”

“Do you really think Ikon, your first knights, would let anything happen to you? And 2ne1? And YG himself? You’re the princess Charlie, they are just doing what knights are supposed to do.” I can’t help but be warmed by her words, my blush spreading across my face.

“What about all of her other knights?” GD pops up from his seat. “If we can get all of her knights together to basically say, ‘this is Charlie, she’s our friend, leave her the fuck alone or else.’ But more appropriate of course.”

“I like that,” Top chuckles, “I’m good with everyone saying, ‘leave her the fuck alone or else.’”

Unni nods, thinking it over, a smile spreads across her face, “Something like that might actually work.”

………………………..

 One week Later

“Are they sure this is going to work?” I nibble on my bottom lip as staff buzzes past me. Daesung hold on my hand tightens as he brings my small hand up to kiss the back of it, before giving me his amazing smile.

“Whether or not the fans like you, we all still love you very much,” He pulls me into a hug, placing a small kiss on the top of my head.

“I love you too Oppa,” I kiss his cheek, earning a large smile from the man.

Seungri comes and joins us back stage of the ‘special festival’ planned by manager Unni a lots of other people for my ‘coming out’ party. After all the people perform I’m supposed to go on stage and introduce myself with my oppas behind me. This is without a doubt the most nerve-wracking moment of my life.

“Are you ready to become famous?” Seungri teases as he also kisses my head.

“I don’t know how me being friends with you guys makes me famous but I guess so.”

The oldest three join us, all doing the same thing by kissing the top of my head like brothers or fathers. Top hugs  me tight before leaning away, still holding me with a small frown, “I’m really sorry you have to go through all of this Charlie. It’s all my fault.”

Without hesitation I wave his apology away, “Seunghyun Oppa, I don’t have a single regret after meeting you. You have absolutely nothing to apologize for. I love my life more than ever since you guys came into it. You are all the most amazing friends a person can ask for.”

“Aw,” GD coos as he basically rips me away from Top. “Our Charlie is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen and will ever see.”

“Ya!” Unni pulls me away from the boys, earning non-threating glares. “You guys can have your moment later, right now we have a massive crowd of girls, boys, and reports waiting to see what is so special that all the companies got together for.”

I begin nibbling on my lip again as Unni leads me into the dressing room areas, bringing me to one with a cut out of a crown where the group name should be. Realization creeps in as she basically throws me into the makeup chair with two other unnies already waiting.

“Unni,” I whine confused, “What is going on?”

“Well, we all wanted you to look extra beautiful for tonight so we got you a little something.” She grins as she grabs a dress bag off the couch. “After your hair and makeup.”

With that the two makeup unnies start their work. It doesn’t take long for them to give me perfect winged eyeliner and matte red lips. Unni pulls me out of my chair and helps me into a bright red dress with a high neckline. The red lace is soft to the touch, the hem stopping just above my knee, making it just conservative enough. She hands me strappy black heels that I quickly put on. With the biggest smile I think she has ever had, she leads me to the full length mirror yelling, “Tadaa!”

I’m honestly surprised to see the girl in the mirror that is supposedly me. My normal mess of curls has been tamed into a beautiful milkmaid hair do with a few curls hanging free. My dress matches the bright shade of red of my lipstick perfectly. I have to admit, I kind of look like a princess with the slight poof of my dress. I turn to my unni, a massive smile on my face.

“Thank you so much for this Unni, you are absolutely amazing!” I wrap my arms around her and give her a massive hug.

“I should be thanking you, not only did I get an amazing dongseang but you made my life a lot easier, and those boys a lot more happy, so thank you our little princess.” We let each other go, still smiling like idiots. “Do you want to watch the performances? I have a private box ready for you so neither the people on stage nor the people in the crowd can see you.”

“Why can’t they see me?”

“I worked hard on this event, I want your grand entrance to amaze not only the crowd but also your whole army.” She grins.

“Let’s go,” I say as I let her drag me out of the room and through the maze of hallways. The private room give me a perfect view of the large stadium. With the only lights focused on the stage, the massive sea of light sticks looks like a galaxy. I stare in aw as group after group goes up and performs two or three songs until the last group starts performing and all of a sudden I remember what I’m doing here. Big bang steps on stage ready to perform bang bang bang, dressed up in their usual outfits or I guess in Youngbae’s case, dressed down.

Unni pulls me away from the window to go back down to the stage for me to go on. We sneak back, actually more like Unni would go a head and tell everyone to cover their eyes or move out of the way. She has me stand on one of the raising platforms blow the stage. Above I can hear big bang finishing Bae bae, after the crowd cheers, GD does his best to calm them down so he can speak.

“I bet you are all wondering what in the world this festival could be about,” GD yells into his mic, earning another cheer from the crowd. “I’ll tell you, but you all have to promise me that you will behave. So these are the rules, no booing, or yelling anything mean, or throwing anything. Understand?” Another cheer.

“You all have read the articles or seen the pictures of the dark skinned girl, correct?” Youngbae says this time. Less happy cheering. “Well that girl is a very good friend of ours. In fact she is not only our friend but also to many of your other oppas or unnies.”

Seungri takes his turn, “So we decided to hold this festival as a coming out party for you to meet her because she is not only our very dear friend, but she is our princess.” A blush spreads across my face.

“This is not only a coming out party though,” Daesung continues, “This is her official crowning as our princess.”

“So please,” Top finishes, “Welcome our princess Charlotte.”
