CHAPTER SIX [6]

“OPPPPPPAAAA!!” I was literally screaming away, asking him to let go of me, but he just hugged me tightly as if I’m his bolster. I tried to struggle away but it only makes him hug me more tightly. What am I going to do? Sleep as if he wasn’t hugging me? Aish, Choi Jonghun.
I was lying on his bed, trying to get to sleep when an image of him flash through my mind, it was his smile. That kind of smile that makes you feel that when he smile, all of the dark clouds in your life will go away. Suddenly I felt my face turning hot, and my heart was beating faster and faster as the minutes passed by. It felt like it was going to pop out anytime. Why am I feeling this way? Do I like him, like really like him? I mean, no doubt he is hot, and attractive, but I have yet to know what kind of a person is he, and I only knew him for less than 24 hours, my heart can’t be fluttering like no one’s business.

I ignored the awkwardness that I was having and shut my eyes forcing myself to sleep. The next moment when I open my eyes, the sunrays were already crawling into the room through the gap between the two white curtains hanging on the wall.

For a moment I forgot I was in Korea AND sleeping on a guy’s bed. I was trying to stretch myself when I hit something behind me, then I realised I’m in Korea, sharing a dorm with a guy, and I’m sleeping with him hugging me on his bed. I looked down at my waist and saw that his hands were still there, hugging me tightly. Aish, do I have to wait till he is awake?

Just then, I heard a grunt from the back. Is he awake? “Euhhm…” I can feel that he was trying to stretch his long legs and tried to retrieve his hands. I let myself down the bed and stood up on the ground. Jonghun slowly open his eyes and squinted because the sunrays were too bright, and massaged his right forearm. Probably it was because I was sleeping on it the whole night, it went numb. I placed my hands on my hips. Now that you’re awake, you will get it from me.

“Annyeonghasaeyo. Why are you staring at me like this?” He said in a sleepy voice and rubbed his eyes, and his lips just unintentionally pout up as his rub his eyes. SUPER CUTE!!

“YAH CHOI JONGHUN OPPA! Don’t you remember what you did to me last night?!” I hope I wasn’t too loud but I just couldn’t help myself.

“Wae? What did I do? Rape you?” He joked and smiled sheepishly.

“Do you not remember anything oppa?” This time round I tried to talk softer but it still seems so loud. He shooked his head and asked me why.

“Eruum… nothing. You snore like a pig last night, I couldn’t sleep.” I lied. He sat up from his bed, “I DID NOT!!” I burst out into laughter seeing him reacting to what I’ve just said. What a great way to kick start the day. “Oppa, you better go shower, you stink like some pig sty.” He then walked over and tried to do something, what I suppose, to smell him. I pushed him away and he glared at me before going into the shower room.

“Should I continue asking? But he already say he don’t remember anything.” I muttered to myself, and decided to just brush it off like that.

After getting ready, I was sitting on my bed waiting for oppa to be ready, he was checking on his guitar wires, making sure his bag has got extras, his guitar in tip top condition. Oppa must love his guitar so much. “Oppa…” he looked up from his guitar. “Can I watch you guys perform tonight? I want to see you guys perform, last night’s jamming session was wonderful, and I want to see the real thing.” He smiled at me and nodded his head. “But the event will go into the late night. You sure you okay with it? There’s school tomorrow you know.” He warned me, putting a stern look on his face. “Arrasoyo, kwaenchana. Can I follow please?” he gave one of his big mega watt smiles and nodded yes. “YAY!!” I jumped up from my bed and hopped around with joy. I quickly get changed and was ready to go. This is the first time I wore something like this out since I never get a chance to wear that in Singapore. I was wearing a white t-shirt, yellow hoodie and a red padded jacket outside, together with my dark blue jeans and a checkereds muffler. Phew, if I were to wear that in Singapore, I would get heatstroke.

We met the rest of them at the canteen for breakfast before going to the mall for the performance. While we were eating, a group of girls was randomly walking past our table and suddenly let out a scream. All of us jumped from our seats and gave them the what-just-happened face. They ran towards the direction of Wonbin and started to take out their pens and paper to ask for his autograph. The rest of the boys started to laugh when Wonbin showed a very annoyed face but still smiled to his fans as his autographed for them.

“Whoa, I didn’t know you were so popular Mr. Oh.” Hongki joked and burst into laughter when he finished his sentence. “Hyung, stop laughing, I want to know what happened.” Minhwan stopped Hongki and refocused his attention to Wonbin.

“Well, apparently I was featured in the magazine and… I guess they realised it was me and find me hot and wants my autograph.” The moment he said finished, the rest, except Minhwan, went back to eating their breakfast. “WAH HYUNG! I didn’t know you got featured in the magazine!! When was that?” Minhwan was so curious about Wonbin increasing popularity. “Minhwan ah, finish up your breakfast, we need to set off soon, and the cab is arriving already.” Jonghun told Minhwan, breaking was Wonbin has to say. “Deh…” Minhwan answered sadly. I let out a silent laughter, how can all these guys be so cute? Then, I felt someone staring at me, when I turned to look; I caught Jaejin staring at me but turned away quickly as soon as I noticed. I wanted to confront him but since everyone is eating their food, I decided to just brush it off and finish up whatever is on my plate.
---

“WOOO!! WE ARE FINALLY ON OUR WAY TO OUR VERY FIRST OFFICIAL PERFORMANCE!!” Hongki exclaimed as the cab starts to drive onto the highway. Upon hearing that, everyone in the band joined in and cheered happily. The journey was never quiet as Hongki and Minhwan entertain us with their jokes and their little quarrels. I suddenly remember the incident just now and wanted to check out on Jaejin. Just as our eyes met, he quickly turned away and acts as if he was doing his own thing. Just then, “Jaejinnie ah, why are you so quiet today? Don’t you always have a lot to say?” Hongki asked. Jaejin shook his head no, took out his iPod and plug in his earpiece. I could see him swaying to the music from the side of my eyes. Hongki signalled to Wonbin and asked what happen, but he shrugged, not knowing what happened to him. Hongki did the oh-well face and went back ha-la-ing with Minhwan. I looked out of the window, ignoring what was going inside the cab, and looked outside the window. I’ve never seen such beautiful scenes of Korea before, no, not even in travel books. I was feeling tired and eventually dozed off into my dreamland.

I was awaken by Jonghun when we reached the mall. “Eli, time to wake up, we reached already.” I rubbed my eyes and got out of the cab. After helping the boys to unload their guitars and stuffs from the cab, we began to walk to the backstage of the performing area.

“Eli, can you be our PA cum stylist today? Since we are new, we don’t have a personal assistant or stylist, its good you came with us. You can help us do our makeup. We are all boys and know nuts about makeup. So pleaseee?” What now? Ever since I stepped into Korea, Jonghun has been giving lots of surprises, and now I have to be their personal assistant and stylist. Aish. But since they have been working so hard for this performance, I think I can just help them out, after all, makeup to me is like a piece of cake. I always help my classmates with their makeup when they needed me to, so I’m more or less experienced. Just that this time round, I’m doing it on guys, 5 hot guys. And they are lucky I brought along my makeup pouch. I nodded yes and went into the waiting room with them. They changed into their attire and tried to start off with styling their hair as they waiting for me to help them with the makeup. I started off with Minhwan first, since his hair was done quickly. He sat down and closed his eyes, indicating that he is ready. There I go. I started with the base, then the foundation. I did not bring along my moisturiser, so I hope its okay afterwards. And since the band is a rock band, I decided to put on some black eyeliner for them. There! Nicely done!

I continued with the rest and was almost done with Hongki. I’m still left with Jaejin and Jonghun, the two which I really don’t want to go over to ever since the two incidents that happened last night and just now. I’m so going to feel awkward if I just look straight into their face. Just when I was done with Hongki, Minhwan shouted “Jinki Hyung! Why are you here?! Are you here to support us?”

Hyung? More like a dongsaeng can! That guy walked over with a sunshine smile and ruffled Minhwan’s hair. Oh great, now Minhwan have to restyle his hair again. He then walked over to Jaejin and started talking in Korean which I didn’t managed to understand what they were trying to say since my Korean language isn’t good. But I can sense that Jaejin doesn’t want to see him around. I walked over to Jonghun and nudged him, “Who’s that?” I whispered, seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward. “Onew hyung? He is Jaejin’s brother.” Oh. Okay. When I looked up, that Onew guy was walking towards me, “Annyounghasaeyo, I’m Onew, Jaejin’s brother and am a professional makeup artist. I can help the boys with their makeup. You go help them with their hair instead, especially Minhwan’s. I guessed I just messed up his when I came in just now. ” THANK YOU SO MUCH!! God must have known how much I don’t want to do makeup for these two guys. “Alright Onew oppa, and you can call me Elizabeth, or Eli in short.” He nodded and turned to start working on Jaejin.

“FT up next!” Someone from outside the room shouted. “DEH!!” they all replied in unison. The five boys stood up and some took their guitar along with them. “Eliiiii, I’m so nervous now.” Hongki said to me. I pat his back and told him that everything was going to be okay. When it was finally their turn to be on stage, the MC introduced them out, no one really cheered for them except for some watching and of course, Onew and me. We were standing by the side of the stage watching them perform. Hongki voice boomed through the speakers and some girls started to scream like as if they saw they stars performing. Oh wait; they are stars, the future stars. I bet all of them were screaming at how good looking all of them were, especially Hongki when he sings.

The music finally faded away as the MC boomed through the speakers. “Let’s give it up for FT Island!!” They bowed and lots of audience were standing up clapping for them. It was a good performance.

JONGHUN POV

I feel so nervous! What I am going to perform later is all for you.

I’m so sorry about last night. I just have the urge to hug you. I know that that is a place you wouldn’t want to be in the first night in someone stranger. You are lying on a bed with a stranger you know for not more than 24 hours. Mianhae.

“OPPPPPPAAAA!!” You shouted at me, wanting me to let go of you. But I don’t want to. I like it like this, I’m sorry for being selfish.

“Annyeonghasaeyo. Why are you staring at me like this?” You screamed at me early in the morning due to what I did to you last night.

“YAH CHOI JONGHUN OPPA! Don’t you remember what you did to me last night?!”

“Wae? What did I do? Rape you?” I joked. I know it wasn’t very funny, but I was trying to cover myself for what I did last night.

“Do you not remember anything oppa?” I shooked my head. I will not want to admit it.

Now that you’ve seen me playing, I wish you know how I was feeling.

Thank you for coming tonight and helping out with the preparation. I know you’ve never done it before. Tiffany used to do all these stuffs but ever since she left, that has been a missing spot for someone to fill, I’m glad you came along and I hoped that you would take it on forever.

END OF POV

“Whoa! You guys did so well that everyone stood up and clapped for you!! Alright, now we got to help you guys remove you makeup before we head back to the dorm. We got to hurry since all of you have got school tomorrow. Come on! Go get changed!” Onew told the boys when all of them came in, but where are Jonghun and Wonbin. I brush it off when Minhwan came to me asking me to help him remove his makeup.

“Eli… I… I have something….” Jaejin came to me stammering. “Jaejinnie, what are you doing?! Go and get changed. We got to head back soon!” I was trying to avoid what he has to say to me. “Noona, is something going on between you and Jaejin hyung? You seem to be avoiding him and his eyes just can’t seem to leave you for even one second.” I was totally taken aback. Minhwan noticed the awkwardness between us? How about the rest?! At that moment I just want to dig a hole in the ground and hide in there. “Yea nuna, is there something going on between you and hyung?” I shook my head no and stuff a piece of chocolate which was randomly lying on the table into his mouth to prevent him from asking some more. “Aww noounaa… irff yoo stuff mei a pieceh orf chicken, I wourlf stop askinf.” He told me as he munches the chocolate in his mouth.
---

Everyone was done packing and ready to leave. We all piled into Onew’s car and drove off. Throughout the whole journey, it was so quiet except for Onew telling us jokes, jokes that are not funny. Jaejin was so embarrassed by his brother’s behaviour and had asked him to just keep quiet and concentrate on driving. “Don’t worry Jinnie, we are used to it, just that maybe Eli would find him weird. Haha!” Wonbin laughed.

Jonghun was sitting beside me and had dozed off despite Onew’s continuous blabbering. I was just staring outside the window again, when I felt something on my shoulder. I turned and look and saw Jonghun’s head on my shoulder. I let out a small smile as I look at his pretty face. He is still so good looking when he sleeps. From the side of my eyes, I could see that Jaejin has turned back to look at, what I supposed, me. I could see his face showed a bit of jealousy, well, because Jonghun is sleeping on my shoulder. I continued looking outside the window till I dozed off on Jonghun’s head too. I could hear a bit of what Onew was trying to say, in Korean though. I assume he was talking to Jaejin again and thus didn’t bother much.

When we finally reach, Onew shouted out real loud in the car, making all those we slept jumped up from our sleep. I could see that everyone has slept throughout the journey except for Onew and Jaejin. I guess they must have chatted for the whole journey back. Onew helped them unload their stuffs before driving off. All of us are still sleeping and a bit unconscious. I was grabbing onto Jonghun arms as we walked up the stairs. When we reached our room, Jonghun fell onto and slept like how he did on the first night, but this time round I dare not wake him up to go for a shower, just in case that incident happened again. I went to take a shower before going to sleep. When I came out of the shower room, Jonghun was deep into sleep; he started to talk in his sleep. “Eli… Eli…”
