Today was the day of my comeback and after nights packed with practice and me trying to clear my mind I was finally ready. As I was called for Standby I stood making sure I was perfect as I made my way out of the room fixing my ear pieces as I sometimes hated the sound of my own voice in my ears, I need to pull them out quickly and tape would get in the way. Walking towards the stage I stood on the side as I fixed my volume as I waited for what felt like forever, and as the debut group stepped off the stage I congratulated them as they thanked and greeted me. They were cute. Being called onto the stage I stepped quickly but walked slowly as the sounds of screams filled my ears as I could do nothing but smile. Seeing as how I had more than enough time before I was live I smiled asked how everyone was doing. As most screamed back good I laughed into the mic causing the sound to bounce off the walls as it came right back to me.

“Places! Ready!” I took the smile off my face as the music started to pour into my earpiece.

I wiped the smile off my face as I waked slowly towards the chair in the middle of the stage. Sitting down I began singing as I stared off at the two dancers as they seemed to be giving it their all. I sang my heart out as I knew I had another stage after this, but I knew he was here. As the music faded off to nothing I looked at the camera waiting as the producer said that we were done. Taking a deep breath, I stood as I bowed thanking everyone before running down the steps as I gave a good luck to the hoobaes waiting after me.

Running out of the building my team was right behind me as we hopped into the van and once we were on our way to our next stage I couldn’t help but sigh because I was going to be so exhausted by the end of today. I changed in the car seeing as how MBC was doing that outside thing again, which really pissed me off for some reason, but as I took off my shirt and slide on the other one we were already here. Quickly putting on my jacket I fixed my shoes as I hopped out running towards my waiting area already knowing that I was going on in 10 minutes. Stopping in front of my tent the standby person said that I needed to go now, so following after him I swallowed water, fixed my earpiece, tucked my shirt in, and checked my mic. Standing on standby I heard my name being called causing me to turn around but no one was behind me, shrugging I walked onto the stage as I greeted everyone and as I stared to sing I watched the same scene replay as it did when I was on the other stage.

As the song came to an end I stood as I bowed in thanks but then I heard my name being called but it wasn’t from the crowd because they had suddenly got quiet. Turning just in time I saw water as it hit me dead on causing me to stumble a little bit as I almost fell off the stage. Catching myself I wiped my face only to see Jr. as he held a bucket of water in his hands and all of a sudden he started running at me full speed. Taking the hint, I moved out of his way but he managed to get me down anyway. We were rolling around on the ground as he was trying to hit me but I held my hands in front of my face as I tired kicking him off me and all I could hear was the crowd as they were mumbling among themselves wondering what had happened and I was right along with them.

“What the hell?!” I screamed at him but he continued to hit me and I couldn’t take it anymore so I pushed him off me punching him in the face. “WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!”

“What the hell am I doing? What the do you think you’re doing?!” He stood slapping me and in that moment I felt hands all over me as I tried to break the grip.

Looking behind him I shook my head as water went flying everywhere and I saw that idiot holding him back and I just felt as if I had finally lost my mind. I started kicking and punching as I was being pulled off the stage as he was carried off right along with me; and I didn’t care who I hit, I was just that pissed.

“Eunkwang! Calm down!” Finally stopping as I heard Hyung’s voice in my ear I took a bunch of deep breaths as they continued to drag us off until we were in a secluded place which was my dressing room, but the heads staring at us wasn’t really helping.

Sitting me down I stood glaring at him as he was being held back and that made me even more pissed, he just ruined my comeback stage and I knew this was going to be all over the place before midnight even comes around. Taking off my soaked jacket I slammed it onto the ground as I slide off my shirt causing Hyung to hand me a new one and sliding that on quickly I heard the tent open as two faces appeared; one being that Headache and J’s Manager as they both looked surprised. Jackson came over to me as he began asking me if I was okay and pushing him away I walked towards Jr. and JB and I gave them both one good hard slap in the face each.

“Eunkwang!” Hyung called out to me as he tired pulling me back but I moved out of his reach moving aside on my own.

“No! I’m done listening to this bull! I finally have a comeback in almost 2 years and I can’t even enjoy it without one of them ruining something for me.” I slide on the hoodie that was handed to me as I paced around trying to find a new pair of pants.

I finally found the bag with the pants that I wore to work today and taking off my other pants not caring if anyone saw my underwear or anything I threw them across the room as I slide this pair on. Basking in the feeling of not being completely wet anymore I heard those two arguing about one another cheating on each other and a bunch of bull that I didn’t want to hear.

“YAH! Shut the up! I don’t want to hear that, and I don’t think anybody else does, so take that home with you and argue there. I’ve said this once before and I’ll say it to the end of time; I do not want that loser! We had our us moment together, and it had lasted for 3 ing years, now that is over so just leave me alone. First you ruin my heart and now you’re trying to ruin my career. Just OFF!” Grabbing my phone and wallet I stormed out of the tent and made a run for it, as I was tired of always being in the middle of their .

I don’t know how far or for how long I ran but when I finally stopped I was in front of a food tent, and pushing the tarp out of my way I ducked inside as I took a seat in the corner. Asking the ahjumma for two soju’s and a bunch of little snacks I sighed as I looked around noticing that only one other person was inside and he was knocked out drunk. Pulling out my phone I saw all the messages but ignoring them I went straight to the internet as I typed in my name to see the new trending search, ‘Eunkwang vs Jr’, it was video after video and comment after comment as they all wondered what was going on. One comment even said that I was still messing with JB and I quickly responded saying that whoever this was wished that I was. But deleting it a second after I sighed smacking my head down only to have two bottles and a few other things placed in front of me.

Stuffing my phone back in my pocket I poured me a glass and without a care of public image I threw it back and as it ran down my throat I couldn’t help but shiver. Glass after glass had come and gone in a matter of seconds and I ran them with a piece of food trying to not get too drunk. Hearing the tarp open once more I looked over as I saw familiar blonde hair but thinking that it could be anyone I poured myself another glass. As I lifted it to my lips it was snatched out of my hand causing me to pout as I rubbed my eyes only to see Jackson as he sat down in front of me with a frown on his face. He took my glass downing it as he poured himself another one before asking for two glasses of water. This Headache! Always trying to ruin things for me also, now I think everyone is out to get me.

“Do you want to talk about it?” I rolled my eyes before stuffing a bunch of food into my mouth as I wondered why he cared so much anyway.

“Why?! Why do I have to tell you?! I don’t even know ypu!” I screamed at him causing him to laugh as he just pushed a glass towards me and taking it I swallowed it but I didn’t feel the sting that I was supposed to.

He gave me water. Sighing I continued to drink it as I knew I needed to sober up because I couldn’t go home like this.

“Fine, but I’ll sit with you until you sober up. That is the least I can do.” I just waved him off not really caring if he stayed or not.

After another glass of water my vision finally cleared and my words had become clearer also, and as I looked at him I noticed that he watched me with this look in his eyes. It was like when you had crush on someone in class and you spent all class staring at them, but with him he didn’t hold the fools smile instead he just stared and nothing else. Shivering I tried to stand but that didn’t work like how I wanted to causing me to fall back into my seat. Cursing myself under my breath I took out my wallet with great difficulty as I was about to pay only to have it pushed back as he began paying for it. Shrugging I stood again as I took a few steps only to almost fall but he caught me and I began to get irritated because he was trying to act like a savior, some type of rejected superhero is what he was.

“I can walk by myself.” I spat at him but he shook his head only to pick me up as he shifted me onto his back and I quickly grabbed his neck trying not to fall off. “YAH! Put me down!”

“No.” That was the only thing he said and I just fell silent.

I don’t know why but as we walked along the roads and as people stared at us he didn’t speak and just kept on his way. As we approached a busy street he took off his hat as he reached behind putting it on my head only to pull my hood up. Fixing me so that I was better seat he walked with this weird feeling about him, maybe it was because I was drunk but he started to seem like a really nice guy. I could hear girls screaming as he walked passed causing me to hide my face in his neck as I was far beyond embarrassed and I didn’t need any more problems. He actually smelled really good, and here I am thinking that he smelled like an .

“Oppa! Who’s on your back?!” I heard the question asked repeated and every time he would fix me and hold me so that if anyone tried to grab me they wouldn’t be able to pull down my hood.

“My Cinderella, and its nearing midnight so I have to get her home.” That was his answer every time and no matter how hard I tried to ignore it I couldn’t help but laugh a little bit.

Wrapping my legs around his waist he continued walking and as I laid my head on his back I began to get lost in thought, because he wasn’t that bad of a person even though he was overly loud. Sighing I began humming the lyrics to a song that I had wrote which I had gotten stuck in my head recently and I was wondering if I should make it into an actual song, but I didn’t think it would sell. As I continued to hum I stopped as I didn’t have any more words left but then I heard Jackson as he was rapping along to the melody that I was just singing to. I listened and I began to realize that he had crazy skills, maybe that’s why he debuted as a solo.

“You are really good.” I mumbled the words into his ear and he only laughed as he fixed e once more and the sounds of people screaming filled my ears.

He never replied and I just stayed quiet as the sounds of screams got quiet and the sound of him saying hello filled my ears. He stood still for a minute allowing me to raise my head as I saw that we were in a dorm but he quickly put my head back down. Stepping into the elevator he reached over pressing his floor number and as it started to go up the feeling caused me to squeeze his neck as I gasped not liking the feeling at all, but all he did was laugh.

“Thanks for the compliment. I try, but as I always say I’m not a rapper just someone who tries their best at it.” I nodded liking his humble side, but with us this close I noticed how clear his skin was; or maybe it was the makeup he was still wearing.

"You know; you can put me down now; I'm not that drunk." As the words left my mouth his grip only tightened causing me to pout because he wasn't listening.

"I would...but I like this feeling of holding you, so I'm not going to." He was laughing causing me to smack the back of his neck lightly, and as he started walking I held on tighter.

He kept my head down as we walked causing me to wonder how far his place was from the elevator, but with him not letting me see anything I couldn't really get the best of everything.

"Hyung?" The voice sounded unsure and as I lifted my head he held it down while continuing on his way completely ignoring the person that the voice came from.

Stopping once more I heard the sound of the keypad as he punched in the number before pushing open the door. Slamming the door behind him he slipped off his shoes and thinking that I would be let down he held on tighter as he continued walking. I finally lifted my head as I looked around noticing how comfy his place was. Pushing open a door with his foot he sat down on a bed, which I was guessing was his, and with this he flopped backwards. Squirming around I fixed my legs as I took off my shoes and hoodie flopping down next to him seeing as how I didn’t even know where I was to get home, and that would only cause another scandal if I left now.

“Who was he?” I finally spoke up as the silence was suffocating.

“You didn’t want to tell me anything, so why should I tell you?” He turned to look at me causing me to turn away as I knew he had a point.

“Do you really want to know?” I sighed giving in seeing as how the whole world already knew.

“No, not really. I’m not like everyone else. You will tell me when the time comes.” I looked at him once more to see that he had that same smile on his face from when we met and I couldn’t help but scoff.

“How do you know that? What if I never want to see you ever again?” He grabbed me pulling me close to him and I went stiff at the close distance seeing as how I was always awkward with things like this.

“Then I would be sad, but we will always meet one way or another. Isn’t at right Seorella?” I laughed at the ridiculous nickname even though we always do meet at the weirdest times.

I was about to respond when my phone began to rang causing me to sit up quickly as I pulled it out of my pocket only to see a bunch if missed calls from all over the place. Even my Umma called and she never did. Sighing I turned off my phone tossing it to the side as I laid back down just wanting to sleep. He switched my position so that I was laying correctly as he pulled his blanket over me as he began taking off his coat before hopping in next to me.

“Ummm…what are you doing?” I asked a little scared at his sudden behavior.

“Just think of it like a sleepover.” I frowned because I don’t even know what that is, well besides from in the movies.

“I-I've never been to one.” He sat up quickly at my words as he stared at me as if I wasn’t human.

“What?! Are you serious? What did you do when you were a teenager? A child even?” I huffed in annoyance because it wasn’t that big of a deal.

“When I was kid I was always stuck in the house because my parents didn’t like the neighborhood. So we moved and shortly after we did I became a trainee and Umma was furious of course but Appa told me to go for it so I lived in the dorms until I debuted.” He nodded before laying back down and I felt as if I put a damper on the mood.

“I’ll make sure you’ll have a sleepover before the end of this week. I promise.” I swear this kid is a headache but brushing it off I turned my back to him as I got comfortable ready for this long missed sleep.

Thanks management for not booking me until the afternoon.
