Chapter 28

Masks

"Do the last part again.." Yongguk asked while I was recording my part of the song. It was the tenth time already of doing the same part, and it started to annoy me. If I sing those lines one more time I'm going to snap at him.

Yongguk, on the other hand, was pretty satisfied. He will never admit it, but Hyeri got it right on her third try. The rest was just his way of spending more time with her without making it obvious, just like he 'accidently' messed up their not-so-complicated choreography so she can teach him.

"Bang Yongguk! What the hell was wrong this time?" I asked annoyed.

"You do it too technically. It's like your'e reciting it and not really feeling it." He answered dryly.

"I can't feel something I'm not acquainted with."

"Then use your imagination." Yongguk smiled. "Besides, you can always think about seducing me if you lack inspiration.."

"Don't get your hopes up, I'm not doing it again."

"Are you sure about that?" He laughed, and my face became red as a tomato. That idiot! Luckily it was just the two of us there, so no one else witnessed our conversation.

"Yes." I gathered all my strengh to answer him. "Your'e lucky wer'e seperated by a glass, or else you won't live long enough to actually sing this song on stage."

"I'm scared.." Yongguk said sarcastically, which annoyed me even more.

"Let's get over with this, I still need to practice with the girls later.." I suggested. I need to be the older person this time so we can get back to work.

Yongguk nodded and explained me what to fix for the next recording.

After two hours we fianlly finished. It was fun, and it was a new experience since it's the first time I'm recording something. Yongguk is very serious while working, and he gives good instructions, although it seems like he is overdoing it sometimes.

In the afternoon I practiced with the girls, and at night I met with Yongguk again to practice on the dance. Since it's more jazzy song, the choreography is not complicated because it's not really upbeat and intense, but it's a little intimate since the song is kind of like that..

This dance is going to be the death of me.. At the beginning of the dance he is trying to go after me and I keep avoiding him, but afterwards wer'e too close to each other and we have some skinship as well, but that idiot can't seem to get the dance moves right, so I need to spend more time practicing with him. Every time he touch me, coincidently or intentional, I get goose bumps and my stomach is overflowing with butterflies. Like that's not enough, I still blush whenever it happens, and Yongguk still tease me when I do.

 

The next couple of weeks were fun, although they were tiring. I'm practice too much and sleep too little, but I feel like it's worth it.

We are filmng the music video today. The set is obviously a bar, but they made it look like it was taken from the 20's or 30's. It looked amazing. We are supposed to shoot the same thing a few times, each time we change clothes. All my wardrobe for this song is dresses and heels, and I do look like someone from that time.. Yongguk is wearing suits or dress shirts and sometimes he adds suspenders, which made him look even more handsome than usual.

I went into our fake bar wearing my first set of clothes - a black mini dress with a lot of fringes. There were also small stones decorating the top of it. When I walked into the set I saw Yongguk talking to the director. I walked over to them shyly. When Yongguk noticed me he stopped talking to him and examined my appearance from head to toe.

"Is it that bad?" I asked when Yongguk didn't say anything.

"No.. Your'e beautiful." He smiled genuinly, and I blushed a little from his compliment.

"Thank you." I said shyly. "You look good too."

"Thanks."

"Since both of you are here, let's film." The director said and started looking for the cameraman.

It took hours filming everything since Yongguk kept teasing me and playing around all the time, but it was finally over.

"You told me you didn't have skinship with her!" Sey yelled at Himchan, who was standing there helpless. He did desrve it, but not to that extent.

They were fine when they started dating, but then the comapny decided to send him to "We Got Married", and it complicated everything. He did want to go on that show, but now he had a girlfriend, who doesn't quite like the idea of him being with another girl, even if it's scripted and not real. In addition to that, his 'wife' is from AOA, and for some ridiculous reason Sey can't stand them. No matter what he does, he will always lose in this situation.

"I didn't."

"Then why did you hug her?"

"It was for the show! And it didn't mean anything." Himchan tried to explain.

"I don't care. Don't do that show." She argued.

"I can't quit the show, we just started."

"Then don't get close to her."

"I have to get close to her, that's the show. I have to do what they tell me to."

"So what? If the script says you have to kiss her, will you do it?"

"Of course not."

"Than you can tell them you don't want to do other things as well." Sey put her hands on her waist. Himchan took a deep breath, trying to control himself so he won't explode and make things worse. This is going to be long..

"No, I can't. Things don't work that way, and you know it."

"I don't like it."

"I know." Himchan got closer to her, wrapping his arms around her to a hug.

"Does that make any sense you two are doing things we didn't do? I'm your girlfriend, not her!" She whined, still hugging him.

"I don't know what wer'e going to do in the next show, so I can't promise you anything, but how about you tell me what you want to do and we'll do it?" He asked, lifting her chin with his thumbs so she'll look at him.

"Promise?"

"I promise." Himchan smiled.

"You really don't like her?" Sey asked.

"I don't."

"Good." She finally smiled.

"What am I going to do with you?" Himchan asked more to himself.

"Yah! What do you mean?" Sey got herself out from his hug and glared at him.

"Nothing.." Himchan tried to avoid another round of fighting. He could tell she relaxed a little and that she wasn't that mad at him anymore, at least for now.

"Are you going to get jealous over my fans as well?" He .

"No."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. It's your job."

"That show is my job too.."

"Well, as far as I know you never pretend to date your fans, so it's definitely not the same!" Sey exclaimed.

"Ok, ok, relax. It's not the same." Himchan tried to calm his angry girlfriend down once again.

"It's right, left, left, right." I corrected Yongguk once again. "How did you manage to learn the dance for 'One Shot' if you mess up things this simple?" I wondered.

"How is that the same?" Yongguk exclaimed.

"This is simple, I don't know why you keep getting confused because of it.."

"You distract me." Yongguk smiled.

"Stop teasing me, it won't work." I glared at him playfully.

"Let's finish for today, I'm tired." He complained while putting his right arm on my left shoulder.

"Your'e tired?" I chuckled. "I'm practicing double thanks to someone, you have no reason to complain."

"Hey, I'm helping you out." Yongguk said proudly and crossed his arms over his chest, facing me.

"No, your'e helping yourself out. I'll be fine without it."

"Liar. You like spending time with me." He teased, and I rolled my eyes.

"Get back to work if you want to rest, do it properly for once!" I scolded him.

"Did you just scold me? your'e younger than me!"

"Stop using your age on me, it doesn't work."

"It's not age, it's manners." Yongguk stated and stuck out his tongue.

"Whatever." I shrugged. "Are you going to do this or not?"

"That depends."

"On what?"

"Give me something in return." He looked intently at me.

"What do you want?"

"Let me think about it.." He pretended to think hard.

"Well?" I asked after a while.

"A hug."

"Do you have a fever?" I asked while puting my hand on his forehead. Why would he want a hug all of a sudden? It's not like wer'e dating or in any kind of relationship with each other.. Wer'e just friends.

"I'm joking." Yongguk smiled when he noticed my confused expression. "Your'e so innocent.."

"And your'e an idiot." I smiled.

"Let's go eat something afterwards."

"Deal. But only if you do it properly until the end."

"Deal." Yongguk gave me his gummy smile.

We gathered in the playroom with the girls, the rest of B.A.P and the managers to watch the music video before it's released. I sat next to Yongguk on the sofa, and the rest were scattered around the room. On my other side I had Sey, who sat next to Himchan. They were trying to hide the fact that they are holding hands, so the used a pillow as a cover up. It's amusing that they need to hide like some teenagers.

"Are you sure your'e not dating?" Jinu asked when the music video ended. "You know we can figure things out if you do.."

"Don't encourage them!" B.A.P's manager hit Jinu with a pillow. "But do you?" Everyone in the room stared at us, making me blush furiously.

"No!" Both of us said together.

"Well, that was.." Youngjae started to say.

"Not really like you, Bang.." Himchan added.

"Well, I think it was hot." Sey said. I immidiately burried my face in a pillow I found. This girl really need to control sometimes.

"You make a cute couple." Zelo said, making me blush even more. Luckily my face was hidden. At that time Sumi had an anniyed face, but I couldn't see it.

"Wer'e not a couple." Yongguk said. "Stop saying irrelevant things.."

"Well, the song is nice and you make a good team together.. Hyeri's voice really fit well here, and everything combines well together." Yujin said.

"Thank you." I said, finally poking my head out from behind the pillow.

"But hyung.." Jongup started to talk and everyone turned their attention to him. "If you both like each other.."

Yongguk was glaring at Jongup, I was blushing and covering my face again from embarrasment, and all the other people in the room looked at me and Yongguk. At that point, Daehyun, who was sitting next to Jongup, covered Jongup's mouth with his hands so he won't continue talking.

"Let them solve their own problems.. It's their personal buisness and their feelings, don't get involved in it." Youngjae scolded Jongup.

"Fine." Jongup trailed off, looking defeated. "I'm sorry, noona and hyung."

"It's fine." I said quietly. Jongup smiled a little, but kept looking at Yongguk. Yongguk didn't say anything and just kept glaring at Jongup.

"Yah! Tell him it's fine, he didn't mean anything wrong." I nudged Yongguk's arm when he kept being quiet.

"It's fine, uppie." Yongguk said smiling, after giving me a weird look.

"I'm tired.." Sey exclaimed while streching. "Let's go to sleep.." She nudged my arm.

"Yeah, we should go,  it's getting late." I said after checking the time.

"Guys, good work!" Jinu said smiling.

"Thank you." I said and bowed to him. Yongguk did the same.

After that the managers left and everyone was getting ready to leave for whatever they planned to do.

"Do you need me to walk you home?" Yongguk touched my arm while I was talking to Eun Hee about something. She found an excuse to disappear and went to talk to the other girls.

"You don't have to." I smiled.

"But I want to." Yongguk said shyly and looked at the gorund, kicking his legs nervously. I was flattered.

"In that case.. Let me just get my things." I could tell he was releaved.

"Are you nervous?" Yongguk asked while we walked home.

"About what?" I asked.

"About being on stage and stuff.. You know, your'e in the front now."

"A little, I guess.. I haven't really thought about it, but I'll probably start to get nervous before the first music show."

"You'll do great." Yongguk gave me a reassuring smile.

"Thank you." I smiled shyly.

We continued walking to my dorm talking about random stuff. We actually took a longer way than usual so we can talk to each other more, but none of us cared.

"Have a good night." Yongguk smiled warmly when we got to my dorm.

"You too." I waved to him while he started walking away.

"Oppa.." I called after him.

"What is it?" He turned around to face me. I ran over to him and hugged him tightly. He was surprised at first, but then hugged me back.

"What was that about?" He asked after we finished hugging. He was smiling brightly.

"You worked hard in the last couple of days and you barely made mistakes, so it's your reward for doing a good job." I smiled.

"Crazy.." Yongguk laughed. "You sure are full of surprises.."

"Of course I am, you just don't know me yet." I stuck my tongue out.

"Alright, cocky girl, go to sleep. You need to wake up early tomorrow."

"I'm not cocky." I pouted.

"You can be when you want to." He said while poking my cheeks with his fingers. I made a face. "Go back home, it's late."

"Meanie."

"Good night, princess." He said smiling.

"Good night." I smiled and waved him goodbye. This time I went inside my dorm to sleep.

 


 

 

Author's Note:

 

Sneaky Yongguk :P

 

I don't have anything against AOA, I just needed a girl group and they came to my mind..

 

Have a happy new year! :)

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: Chapter 152: I miss this :,) it was legit the only reason I kept on checking this website

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.
