Chapter 22

Masks

Today we are filming B.A.P's music video, and in a week and a half they are starting to promote.

We woke up early for the shooting. We only had three minor scenes, but we wanted to see the boys filming, so we stayed there until the end. Our parts were mainly to show up in front of the boys in different occasions and they were supposed to fall head over heels for us everytime they saw us.

I felt like a princess while getting my hair and makeup done and the stylists were choosing clothes for me. So nice.. I can get used to it.

 

The first scene in the morning was the beach scene. The boys were sitting on the sand and the girls were supposed to walk by and spin the boys heads. I was a little nervous at first because I was wearing a swimsuit and I was uncomfortable with it. I don't mind wearing it at the beach or at a swimming pool and such, but there is a difference if it's for TV and a lot of people are going to watch it. I always covered my body unintentionally, until the stylist agreed to let me wear a loose tank top and shorts above it. Luckily the other girls wore some clothes as well, so I didn't ruin the concept too much. It was still revealing, but not as much as being without them.

While filming this scene I glanced at the boys. They are all handsome. Yongguk wore a sleevless shirt to cover his chest tatoo, and the other boys were shirtless or wearing different kinds of tank tops. Actually, Yongguk shirt was cut in the sides, so I could still see his abs. Unintentionally, I stared for too long, and he caught me looking at him, or more correctly, at his well-defined abs. Opps.. I blushed furiously, and he just smirked and mouthed "Do you like it?". My face got even more red, if that was even possible, and I looked down, utterly embarrased. Can I just find a hole and bury myself in it?

 

The second scene after that was at a shopping center where we were just shopping happily while the boys noticed us again. We walked by confidently with our shopping bags when the boys got out of a shop and saw us. We ignored them while they were looking after us. This time I liked the clothes we wore a lot. It was casual and comfortable.

 

In the afternoon we filmed the club scene, that was the last one for the girls, and the one we had to do more at, including my small dance part. The stylist gave me a long sequins sleeveless shirt, a short black jeans, knee-length socks and a pair of sneakers. My shirt was in gold and black colors, and the rest of my outfit matched it. My brown hair was curled lightly and I had a light smoky makeup. That's my favorite look of the day.

This time we met at the club and the guys finally gathered their courage to interact with the girls beside just looking at them. In my case Jongup and Zelo kept staring at me when I was dancing until they found out both of them are looking at me and they decided to battle it out dancing. At that point everyone gathered around them to watch them dance, until I decided to jump in and dance as well. They were in shock at the beginning, but afterwards they danced with me as well. That was fun. We filmed it twice, and I enjoyed every moment of it.

When Yongguk was filming his part I looked over at what they were shooting. His part was with Sumi, who just kept clinging onto him when they didn't film. Funny enough, she was supposed to play hard to get in their scene.

After everyone finished their part in the club we filmed a scene of the choreography in the club.

 

The rest of the music video was just the boys in individual shots and in a few scenes together. Yongguk just looks so good.. All of them, actually. I like watching them film, they are so serious and hard working while doing it.

Jinu entered the CEO office and sat down in front of him.

"How are things going?" The CEO asked.

"Great, they are editing the music video and it will be ready tomorrow." Jinu answered.

"How are the girls doing?"

"They are practicing on their things and practicing with B.A.P as well."

"How is their progress?"

"They are getting better, but it's hard to tell how it is right now because they are busy with B.A.P."

"When the music video is out tip the media that they are trainees in our company and that they are going to be our new girl group."

"Yes, sir."

"And one more thing.."

"What is it?"

"When they start promoting spread a rumor that Hyeri is going to be the leader of ths girl group, and make sure to deny it afterwards. The official statement is that we hadn't decided anything about that yet and that all of them are just practicing together for debuting. I want to test the water and see the girls reactions as well." The CEO said.

"Ok. Is that all?" Jinu asked.

"Yes, for now."

"Then I'll be leaving then." Jinu bowed and went out of the room.

A few days later we gathered in the playroom to watch the music video before he is officialy out. We had popcorn and soft drinks, since the managers were sitting with us. We scattered on the couches and all over the floor in front of the tv screen. Somehow I found myself sitting between Yongguk and Daehyun.

Jinu started playing the video. It came out really good. It was the first time I'm seeing myself on tv, and I got a little excited. It's really starting to happen. Yongguk squeezed my hand lightly when I appeared on screen. I smiled at him, and he replied with a gummy smile that I haven't seen for a long time.

 

A few days later it was the showcase for their comeback and then the music video came out and the promotion cycle began. Me and the girls were nervous at first, but the boys made us relax and the fact that we didn't do much anyway helped a lot as well. After the showcase the pressure calmed down a little since we saw it's not that bad, and we could start to enjoy it.

We finally had a day off since there wasn't any music show today and B.A.P went to a fansign. Jinu was nice enough to let us rest in the afternoon, so I was laying in bed, surfing the internet in my phone. I started reading comments online about the music video and live performances. Most of the comments about us said we were pretty and wished us good luck in debuting, and it made me smile. Somehow I got into an article about our group, and it said that I'm going to be the leader. Where do they get this false information from? I sighed. At least the comapny denied it..

When the girls came back to the dorm I could tell Sumi is upset. She probably read the article as well, and knowing her, she is going to throw a tantrum for sure.

"Are you happy now?" Sumi asked.

"About what?" I asked confused.

"Like it's not enough you got more focus in their performance, now you even get a seperate article claiming your'e our leader when we know nothing about it."

"I didn't know it as well.. I just saw it a few minutes ago.. It's not true, the comapny denied it already." I tried to explain.

"Who did you sleep with in order to get this article?"

"Excuse me?"

"Why would there be an article about you if you didn't do anything?" Sumi insisted.

"Can you read? The article is about the five of us, it's just a paragraph about me. And I'm not sleeping with anyone, unlike others."

"What do you mean?"

"N.. Nothing.." I stuttered when I realized what I just said. She doesn't know I know, and it's not fair to use it against her like this. I'm not getting down to her level.

"Even if you'll be our leader, I'm not listening to you." She said and stormed out of the room.

Today we were filming "Music Core". Yongguk was wearing that cut sleeveless shirt from the music video for today's performance, and it made it a little harder for me to concentrate. I hope he forgets what happened then, because I probably won't be able to handle his teases about it. No, I won't be able to face him without remembering what happened and start blushing like crazy. I tried to avoid him, but it was useless since we kept bumping into each other all the time. It's like someone is doing this to me on purpose.

"Hey.." Yongguk said when he saw me at the hallway. I looked around, we were there alone.

"Hey.." I said shyly, looking down at the floor.

"How are you doing?"

"Fine.. How about you? Aren't you tired?" I asked after examining his tired face.

"I'm ok, I'm used to it already." He smiled.

"That's great." I gave him a small smile.

"You look pretty today." He said after examining me from head to toe. It was the same outfit from the club scene in the music video, and I loved it. I was happy to hear he liked my clothes as well.

"Thank you." I smiled, blushing a little.

"Do you like my outfit today?" He asked smirking, obviously rememebering the last time. I knew he was just teasing me. Me and my crappy luck.. I blushed and lowered my gaze to the floor.

"I.. I.. L.. Like.. It.. A.. L.. Lot." I stuttered, still not looking at him. My face was red as a tomato.

"Say it loudly, I can't hear you." He lifted my chin with his finger, making me look at him. Now I realized I was standing near the wall, and his other hand was placed on the wall, beside me, blocking me from moving in that direction. I could smell his sweet scent that clouded my mind and my senses, and butterflies kept flying in my stomach from the almost non-exsitent distance between us.

"I.. Like.. it." I managed to say, trying to calm my heart down. It was beating too fast.

"What part of it?" His face got a little closer to mine, our lips almost touching one another. Why is he messing with me?

"All.. Of.. It.." I said absent-mindedly, and I regretted it the moment those words left my mouth. I can't think straight when he is this close to me. Yongguk smirked.

"Your'e so easy to tease." Yongguk smiled, ruffled my hair, and took two steps backwards. What? What kind of game is he playing?

"Bang Yongguk!" I raised my voice, trying to sound threatening.

"What?" He looked innocently at me, his hands in the pockets of his jeans.

"Don't mess with my hair, I just got it done by the hair stylist!" That was all I managed to say. I wanted to yell at him for teasing me like that, but if I admit I was that affected he will parobably do it again, and I also didn't want to be the pathetic Hyeri that still going after him and does what he tells her to do. I need to maintain my image and look colder even if he is still affecting me badly.

"Everything you want, princess, just don't kill me.." He laughed a little, and then bowed exaggeratedly.

"Oh, hyung, your'e here.." A manly voice called and both of us turned to look at him. I recognized the guy although I don't know him in person. I smiled, and Yongguk frowned.

"What are you doing here?" Yongguk asked dryly.

"I work here, did you forget that already? It's not like you." The guy smiled, and Yongguk face darkened a little.

"Then go back to work."

"So rude.." The guy mumbled. "Who is this pretty lady next to you?" He asked and pointed at me. "Don't be unsocial, share!" Yongguk clenched his fists. He tried not to show it, but I noticed. Yongguk wanted to say something, but I stopped him.

"I'm Hyeri, nice to meet you." I smiled and handed him my hand for a handshake.

"Nice to meet you, Hyeri." He smiled warmly and kissed the back of my hand. I blushed a little. "What are you doing with this grandpa over here? You should hang out with more lively people."

"Shut up." Yongguk said harshly.

"Ok, ok, sensitive person.." The guy triled off.

"Hyeri, go back to the waiting room, I need to talk to him for a moment." Yongguk ordered.

"But.." I tried to say something, but he cut me off.

"No buts. You need to do your hair again and you'll be late, it's almost our turn to perform. Just listen to me for once."

"Fine." I sighed. "Always ordering people around.. Your'e not a king, go back to earth." I mumbled while walking away, stomping my feet.

 

"She sure have a temper.." The guy said after Hyeri walked away.

"You met her, now leave her alone." Yongguk said dryly.

"Sorry, I'm not intrested." The guy smiled.

"Don't play games with me, I'm warning you." Yongguk said while grabbing the guy's collar and glueing the guy to the wall behind him. The guy didn't even flinch.

"You became more sensitive over the years.." The guy stated. "Be careful, it can hurt you."

"I don't need your advice." Yongguk growled and tightened his grip on the guy's collar.

"It's your choice.." The guy shrugged.

"It's been years. Why don't you move on?"

"I will, once you pay for it. If I don't move on, neither does you."

"Leave Hyeri alone." Yongguk ordered, trying to sound threatening.

"Not if she is the best way to hurt you." The guy smiled, and it annoyed Yongguk even more. This guy hae some nerve.. But he already knew it's going to be complicated.

"Trash." Yongguk said and released the guy, who fell onto the floor. He got up quickly, wiping his clothes. "Get out of here before I really kill you."

"As you wish.." The guy said smiling and started to walk away. Yongguk watched him.

"By the way.." The guy stopped midway. "I also met this girl.. Sumi I think? Looks like we got something in common.." He smiled, and left before Yongguk could say something.

Yongguk clenched his fists, convincing himself to calm down. He kicked the wall in front of him, and went back to the waiting room, pretending nothing happened.

 


 

 

Author's Note:

 

The teasing level has gone up ;)

It might get even worse.. Maybe.

 

And I guess the unofficial promos for the girl group has started..

 

I hope I didn't disappoint with the last part.. But I did gave you some hints.

Chapter 156: Wow, I was blaming both of them at 1st, as things could’ve been handled so much better on both sides. I loved how Himchan & Sey reasoned with both of them, but Hyeri crossed a line once Yongguk apologized. I didn’t feel she necessarily deserved it, but I knew they both needed it.... sure the way he apologized, did seem like a back handed apology, as her kissing technique could’ve been discussed privately. But Hyeri towards Himchan, she needs to make this better, and of course, he hit below the belt, but she had consistently hit below the belt prior & then to hit him!!! I’m not sure how this is going to turn out, thank you for updating!!

Chapter 156: I still one hundred percent believe that this entire situation is one in which Hyeri is very much at fault. I don’t think Yongguk is in a position where Hyeri requires an apology and I don’t think Hyeri even DESERVES an apology. She completely blew a small and minor incident out of proportion.

I do believe that Himchan went slightly too far with the comment he made however Hyeri shouldn’t have been as horrible to him as she was.

Chapter 155: Welcome back!!!!!!!!!!! I was BEYOND happy to see the update, wow so much happened, where to begin? I see Hyeri & Himchan are still at each other’s throats, I do wish they could get along, and that Hyeri would see the validity in what Himchan said, but no matter what, I think time stopped when Yongguk said Sumi was a better kisser. I felt bad, that super slam, even if honest, that was the time to lie. Especially knowing Hyeri... I was shocked she would kiss him after that was said, and kept thinking why does kissing Yongguk keep coming up, even after he said she wasn’t as good of a kisser. .... sighs, once again, he’s storming out and even with his stupid honestly, I can’t say I blame him. Thank you so much for coming back & for updating,

Chapter 155: WOOP WOOP!! MY FAVE FANFIC IS BACK!!! And OMG this is spicy as hell. I just wish Hyeri would stop being a drama queen and finally realise that she needs to get some help and that Yongguk loves her.

Chapter 153: Thank you for updating despite your busy schedule. I truly hope that Hyeri is ok! She let a lot of things off her chest the night before, and while I do wish she would've thought of the impact her leaving like that would have, I hope they catch her in time before she does something that would change all of their lives. Regarding the comment I just read, there's a difference between constructive criticism & just plain being rude. While it's true, being factual or doing some research on weightier subjects is a good rule of thumb, most of us are adults that don't use fanfics as our barometer of social issues. Assuming what someone's language is, was completely unnecessary to state. You don't have to read the story, if you're a writer, you should understand what it takes to create, upload & continue a story remembering details from previous chapters...etc. If you're not a writer, perhaps you should put yourself in the author's shoes before you begin.
