“GOOD JOB!! YOU WERE GREAT!”
Cheers and applause greeted Hyuna as she stepped off the stage. After resting for a couple of days, she just had her first solo debut for Change. She felt great. She made some mistakes here and there but she was please with the overall performance.
“Hyuna!” Kikwang ran over to Hyuna and hugged her. Hyuna genuinely smiled back as Kikwang lifted her off the ground and spun her around.
“You did great!” Kikwang encouraged his girlfriend.
“Thanks Kikwang.”
Then 4minute members came and hugged the soloist.
“WOW! Unnie. You were so hot up there.” Sohyun said, amazed at Hyuna’s charisma.
“Yea. All that pelvic thrusting and all.” Jiyoon commented as Jihyun and Gayoon laughed.
“Thanks. Haha. All that pelvic thrusting hurts.”
“I bet.” Gayoon said.
“So we need to celebrate this day!” the leader said.
“Let’s go out for dinner.”
“No, Sohyun. How about I make you guys dinner. I want to make a special dinner for Hyuna’s debut.” Kikwang suggested.
The members were hesistant about the suggestion. They loved Kikwang to death but they knew that Kikwang wasn’t the best cook. In fact, he could be the worst cook in the world. They once tasted Kikwang’s version of Chicken Alfredo and let’s just say it ended with the maknae Sohyun in the hospital for stomach poisoning.
“Um..”
“Hyuna. Good job.” Her manager interrupted the girls and Kikwang.
“Thank you. I was so nervous I was shaking.”
“Well you did great. You really impressed a lot of people.” Hyuna giggled at the compliment. “Just don’t overwork yourself huh.”
Hyuna nodded.
“So where’s your stage partner anyway?” the manger asked. Hyuna looked around for Junhyung.
“He’s in the green room. He went in there to rest.” Kikwang answered.
“Oh really? Anway I need to talk to you two about your schedule so say goodbye to them.” The manager told Hyuna.
“Bye Hyuna. See you later.” the members said goodbye and Kikwang just waved at her, not wanting to show any PDA in front of the manager. Hyuna smiled back and left with the manager, in search for Junhyung.
Kikwang turned to 4minute.
“So anybody up for my famous Chicken Alfredo?” Sohyun’s face turned green at the painful memory of the food.
“Um. Since Hyuna won’t be there how about we celebrate another time.” Jihyun said, hoping that she wouldn’t have to suffer throught Kikwang’s cooking.
“Yeah. I’ll even make the reservations to a restaurant and I’ll even pay for it.“ Gayoon said and the girls quickly left before Kikwang can object. Kikwang watched the girls leave in a hurry and just shrugged.
In the Green Room
Hyuna entered the Green Room and saw Junhyung sleeping on the couch, snoring slightly. The manger was outside in the hallway, talking on the phone and told Hyuna to go in first. She stepped closer to sleeping Junhyung and smiled to herself. The usually intimdating looking rapper actually looked like a little boy when he’s sleeping.
Hyuna reached out and stroked his hair which was all in spikes and Junhyung stirred in his sleep.
“Hyuna!” The manger suddenly entered the room, scaring Hyuna and shook Junhyung awake.
“HUH? WHA??” Junhyung woke up confused. He wiped his eyes and found blushing Hyuna and the manager.
“Junhyung, had a nice nap?”
“Yes. Manager-nim.”
“Good. Anyway I just talked to President Lee about the song promotion. I just booked you guys for the Music Festival in Daegu.” Hyuna and Junhyung nodded.
“it’s in three days and since it is sort of a long drive, the President figured to give you guys a mini vacation.”
“Huh?”
“A very small vacation. The President knows about the incident with you Hyuna. He wants you to just relax. So you guys will be staying overnight at Daegu after the concert.”
“By ourselves? Just the two of us?” Junhyung asked, shocked at the news.
“yea. What’s the problem? I thought you guys will be happy. Anyway, that’s the schedule for the next three day. Tomorrow is Inkigayo and the next day is Daegu Festival. Ok?”
Hyuna and Junhyung nodded and tried to smile. Inside they were feeling a mixed of emotions. They were going to be somewhere alone overnight, just the two of them. Talk about awkward.
Later that night
“Hyung I don’t want to.” Yoseob yelled loudly to Doojoon who was dragging Yoseob into an All Vegeterian Restaurant.
“Come on Seobie!! You need to eat healthier. Just come in and suck it up.”
Yoseob pouted and entered the restaurant. He immediately spotted Jihyun and a strange girl sitting.
“OH oh. What a weird coincidence. Jihyun’s here.” Doojoon said, not sounding surprised at all.
“Oh Oppa. So weird to see you here.” Yoseob rolled his eyes at the couple, knowing what their true intention was.
“Hi Yoseob.” Jihyun said as Yoseob smiled back.
“Oh Yoseob, this is Kia. She’s my friend from school.”
“Hi Kia.”
“hi.” Kia greeted back.
“Oh My GOD.” Doojoon suddenly exclaimed. “Jihyun-ya, we forgot about that thing.”
“Oh my god. We totally did.”
“What thing?” Yoseob asked, supscious at the couple.
“We have this really big important thing we need to go to.” Doojoon tried to explain.
“Yeah. It’s really important. I can’t believe we almost forgot. I’m sorry Kia but I have to go.” Jihyun apologized.
“Oh don’t worry. We can just leave.” Kia said as she gathered her things.
“No need. We just got here. Hey Yoseob, why don’t you stay with Kia?”
“Good idea. Just eat together.” Doojoon suggested. Yoseob was growing angry at the sad attempt by the two to set him up on a blind date. He didn’t want to go on a date and if he did, he could get a damn date by himself.
“No I’m sure Yoseob got something better to do.” Kia offered but Doojoon pushed Yoseob and seated him to the chair.
“No, Yoseob doesn’t have any plan does he? Here. Have fun you two.” Doojoon smirked and winked at Yoseob. He grabbed Jihyun’s hands as they made a run for it.
Yoseob looked at his blind date across the table. She was pretty but Yoseob was too busy being angry at Doojoon and Jihyun.
“So shall we order?” Kia asked as Yoseob nodded.
20 Minutes later
“MMMMM. So good. Yum.” Kia said as she chomped on her tofu salad and celery. Yoseob tried his best to swallow his veggie burger and keep his food down. But it wasn’t an easy task since Kia doesn’t know how to close her mouth when she eats, giving Yoseob full view of her chewed up celery and boiled egg.
“So anyway, after he dumped me on my birthday, I broke into his house. I mean what else can I do right? Hehehe.” Kia continued her long life story. Yoseob chuckled uncomfortably.
“YEP. That bastard sure learned his lesson. Don’t mess with Kia or else you’ll get a bed of hair in the morning. Hahaha Haha.” Kia said. Yoseob tried to smile on the outside but inside he was feeling scared, very scared at the crazy girl sitting in front of him
He is gonna kill Doojoon with his bare hands when he sees him. Jihyun too. Yoseob decided.
2 hours later
Yoseob walked into the dark hallways of Cube Entertainment, drained from his blind date. That Kia was one crazy woman and it took Yoseob two hours to get rid of her. But he finally did and he prayed to God that she won’t be pissed off and he’ll find a bed of hair in the morning.
He was just angry and hurt at Doojoon and Jihyun. Did they think that he was lonely or something? Maybe they just wanted him off their back. Yoseob sighed to himself. He knew he was hanging around Doojoon too much and he guessed that he was kind of lonely. But he didn’t need them to set him up on a blind date, especially with a girl with that much issues as Kia.
He rounded the corner of the hallway when he suddenly heard the most beautiful voice.
And I don’t wantna miss a thing.
Even if I dream of you, the sweetest dream will never do.
Cause I’d miss you baby, and I don’t wanna miss a thing.
A smile made its way onto Yoseob’s face as he recognized the owner of the voice. Gayoon. He followed the voice and smiled to himself as he found Gayoon singing in the recording room by herself. She didn’t notice him though as she was too absorbed into the song. Yoseob admired her talent and her passion and was in awed of her.
Gayoon finished the song and took off her headphone. She finally noticed him and was surprised. Yoseob smiled at her and she smiled back. Yoseob signaled for her to open the door to the studio and she stepped closer to opened the door for him.
“Thanks.” Yoseob said.
“Sure. What are you doing here?”
“Me? I should ask you the same thing. What are you doing here all by yourself?’
“I couldn’t sleep. I just wanted to come down and sing.”
“Ah.”
“So you still haven’t answered my question.”
“What question?” Yoseob played dumb.
“What are you doing here?”
Yoseob sighed to himself as he told Gayoon about his horror of a date. Gayoon gasped and laughed at his story.
“WOw does Jihyun know how to pick them or what?” Gayoon teased Yoseob. Yoseob found himself laughing at the incident for the first time.
“Well she did pick Doojoon so..” Yoseob teased. Gayoon laughed out loud.
“Wow. You’re right Seobie.”
“So how come you’re not with Hyungseung?”
“Who said I have to be with him all the time?”
“I don’t know. I just thought you’d be with him tonight.”
“No. I just wanted to be alone tonight.”
“Oh, then do you want me to leave?” Gayoon shook her head.
“No. I’m actually glad that you’re here.” Yoseob smiled at her response.
“So good job on the song.” Yoseob said as Gayoon blushed. “You have the best voice I’d ever heard.”
“Stop. I don’t.”
“No I’m serious. It’s the best. Because whenever I watch you sing, I can see how much you love singing and I can see how much you love music. That makes it the best.”
“Thanks Yoseob.” Gayoon smiled at Yoseob, seeing him in a whole new light that she never saw before.
“wanna make a duet?” Yoseob suddenly asked.
“Huh?”
“Come on. Let’s sing a song together.” Gayoon nodded.
“Ok what song?”
“um how about a classic? A Whole New World.” Yoseob suggested his favorite childhood song.
“Really? Aladdin?”
“Hey It’s my favorite.” Yoseob answered. Gayoon nodded as they both grabbed the headphone.
I could show you the world.
Shining shimmering splendid.
Yoseob started the song
Tell me Princess
When did you last let your heart decide?
I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over sideway and under
On this magic carpet ride
A whole new world
Gayoon sang.
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no
Where to go
Cause I am in the whole new world with you
The whole time Gayoon was singing, she couldn’t help but feel the words. She really felt like she was in the whole new world, seeing Yoseob in a whole new light.
At a Restaurant.
“And we’ll have ice cream for dessert.” Junhyung said, as he handed the menu back to the waitress.
“Sure. But first, can I get your picture?” Junhyung and Hyuna smiled and posed for the picture.
The waitress happily took a picture of them and giggled.
“Wow. Thanks Oppa. Thanks Hyuna-ssi. Wow you guys make a cute couple.” the waitress said as she grabbed the menu and left for the kitchen.
Hyuna smiled at Junhyung. It was Junhyung’s idea to go out for dinner. To celebrate the solo debut as he put it.
Junhyung suddenly yawned and Hyuna giggled.
“Tired much?”
“Not really.” Junhyung replied.
“How about we skip dinner and go straight for the ice-cream? Then it’ll be a real celebration.” Junhyung smiled at that and called the waitress over.
“Oh Oppa. How can I help you?”
“We want to cancel our dinner order.” Junhyung said.
“Oh are you leaving?” the waitress asked disappointed.
“No,” Hyuna replied.” We want the biggest ice cream sundae you guys have.”
“Make it two.”
The waitress let out a sigh of relief and nodded then left.
Hyuna laughed in excitement for her sundae.
“wow. It’s been a long time since we got ice cream together.” Hyuna said. Junhyung smiled inside at the fact that Hyuna still remembered their silly tradition after all this.
“Yeah. It’s not really that date but who cares right?” Junhyung replied.
“I do. That tradition might be weird and silly but it’s important to me.” Junhyung’s voice got caught in his throat from that.
“Even though I’m with Kikwang oppa now, I want to be like before.” Hyuna said.
“Me too.” Junhyung honestly replied.
“Then how about we go back? We’ll let all this go and go back to being best friends?” Hyuna suggested. Junhyung thought about the offer.
Can he really go back to being that close with Hyuna? He shared something amazing with Hyuna before she started dating Kikwang. They were extremely close and caring toward one another.
Junhyung remembered all the time he wanted to ask Hyuna out but held back to not ruin their friendship. Those times hurt but even though he has been hurt a lot, he can’t remember a bad time when he’s with Hyuna.
He looked at Hyuna’s expectant eyes, waiting for his answer. Junhyung then thought to himself about how much he missed Hyuna, missed seeing her everyday, listening to her immature jokes, listening to her whine, listening to her laugh. That’s when he decided that having Hyuna who’s dating Kikwang and being her friend only was better than having no Hyuna at all.
“Sure. Why not.” Junhyung replied coolly as Hyuna smiled widely.
“Good.” Hyuna answered seriously. “Then you’re paying for this.”
Junhyung smirked at her last comment. Their ice cream sundaes finally arrived and they both talked all night, getting back into the groove.
That night when Hyuna slipped into bed, she felt happy in a long time. She was slowly fixing her broken friendship with Junhyung. She missed him so much and now for the first time in a long time, she felt happy. Tonight was the first time since their conversation at the park that she felt at ease with Junhyung.
It still hurt her that she’s dating Kikwang and not Junhyung but each day spent with Kikwang was slowly helping her. She’s not sure if she’ll ever be over Junhyung but Kikwang was amazing to her. That night she drifted off to sleep easily.
Gayoon on the other hand, tossed and turned all night thinking about her encounter with Yoseob. Jihyun was trying her best to sleep but was too worried about what Yoseob might do to her. Sohyun on the other hand was sleeping soundly, safe and secure and far away from Kikwang’s Chicken Alfredo.
