"I will be there to pick you up." I said in the phone. "7AM right?"

"Yes. Don't you have something on?" My mum asked over the phone.

"Don't worry. I have time." I assured.

"Okay. Got to board the plane soon. See you then."

"Bye." With that, I hanged up the call. "Unnie, you promise you will give me time tomorrow right?"

"Yeah. Only for tomorrow."

"Thanks." I smiled. My mum is landing in Korea with my aunt and cousins tomorrow and the agency knows about it. I have asked for some spare time with them and they help me to clear some of the time slots in the afternoon. I still have to attend night training though. Like now, I'm in the van heading to the dance studio after a photoshoot.

I hopped out of the van, bid farewell and headed for the door. My hands stopped at the handle when I saw people in there dancing. Big Bang! They shared the same studio with me... I watched them from outside and when they stopped, I waited for them to pick up their bags before knocking.

"Hello..." I said as I pushed the door opened, poking my head in first. They all looked up and instantly smiled.

"Hey...!" Dae Sung flashed me that smile that made everyone happy. I smiled back.

"Can I enter?"

"Yeah. Come in." The trainer said. Entering, I went to them and put down my bag.

"Oppa?" I called when I saw Seung Hyun. "Why are you here?" Isn't he suppose to be filming?

"For practice." He replied, matter-of-fact.

"I mean, the filming?"

"There's a concert for us. So I need to at least know the cheography for the dance right?"

"Oh." I nodded.

"Ah." He suddenly clicked his fingers and went to his bag, returning with something in his hands. "Here." He held up the keys to my car. I smiled.

"Thanks."

"You should have woke me up." He eyed me. I just shrugged, tossing the keys into my bag. "So how did you travel around without your car?"

"I used the taxi, my managers' car and the van." I told him. Then he chuckled as he nodded. For the whole week, I had not been driving. My car was seen in the carpark under my apartemnt but the keys were with him. "My mum is landing tomorrow morning. Thanks for returning early enough. If not, we would be using the taxi again..." I smiled as I said.

"No problem...!" Then we laughed at ourselves.

"Alright, the two of you. Get to work." Seung Ri called, patting Seung Hyun's shoulder, hinting him to leave.

"Bye." He held my cheek then down my shoulder, rubbing it. I nodded and smiled. He showed a 'phone' sign using his fingers and placed it near his ear and mouthed 'I will call you again'.

"I-got-it." I mouthed back and motioned him to leave. Then, he turned away and walked out of the door with the others, his bag over his shoulder.

Then, the dance session started. Once again, the super-strict trainer of mine tortured me. I nearly broke my back! Okay, I'm being exggeratting here once again but still, my back hurts. Although my comeback is not near the future, the trainer was already pushing me so much. In the end of the training, I was hungry and tired, yet I can't eat since it was like 1AM in the night? And great, I don't have my car with me! God. Is there any taxis along the road in this hour? I really wanted to rest! I don't want to bother anyone and so, I walked back. Luckily, my apartment wasn't that far. Thank god...

Reaching home, I dropped my bag and slumped on the sofa, half-dead. After lying there for about half-an-hour, I got some energy and went to get a shower. After that, I went to bed. I still need to wake up early to fetch my family...

"Yeobeosaeyo...?" I said into the phone lazily, my arm under my head, didn't even have the energy to sit up.

"Sleeping?" The husky voice that sounded so familiar. "Did I disturb you?"

"No..." I forced myself to say despite me really wanting to say 'yes'. "Done with the work?" My throat so dry and I looked at the clock on the side table. 4:15AM... One more hour to go and I have to wake up.

"Yeah. Looks like I really woke you up. I shall put down the phone now. Sleep well." But before he hanged up, I spoke.

"No. It's fine. It's about time for me to wake up... Thanks for the morning call." I managed to smile. I heard him laughed softly at the other line. "So, going to sleep soon?" I asked.

"Maybe. I'm still on the way back to the dorm. The boys are all in sleep already."

"It sounds like I'm stopping you from sleeping. Since you always call me after completing your stuff... If you're tired, you don't have to call..." I told him, worried that he might collapse if he doesn't rest.

"But it's sounds like you doesn't want me to call so you can sleep..." He joked.

"You always misunderstand me..." I played along with him, pretending to be hurt. Then he laughed. I closed my eyes, listening to his laughters. They were music to my ears. Like magic, I felt energised a little.

"Are you accompanying your family during their stay?" He asked.

"Only for one day. I still have '1 Night 2 Days's recording and the comeback stuff. So..."

"The filming is coming to an end. I can accompany you and your family after that." He said. This sentence made me smile, feeling happy that he wanted to do so. It sounded so manly and somehow sounded like what husbands would say?

"Okay. They would be happy." Just like this, we chatted for an hour before I put down the phone to prepare. After getting ready, I left the house.

Putting on a pair of shades, I opened the door and got out. Holding my phone, I went to the arrival hall and waited, watching the glass door sliding open and close. Barely 7AM and the airport was already relatively crowded with people rushing, the wheels of the luaggage rolling along the tiles, producing noise. I stayed a distance away from the border where people were bending their body forward as they waited. More and more people came out and that was when I saw a group of young adults kept turning their heads back to me. ... I cursed in my head. I tried to look normal and ignored them. When I finally saw the familiar faces turning their heads to and fro like searching for something, I heaved a sigh of relief silently as I walked passed the group, escaping from the growing suspicion in them.

"Hey..." I lightly held the arm of the lady who I recognised as my cousin.

"Oh my...!" She practically shrieked when she too, recognised my voice. I smiled as I placed my finger on my lips.

"Mummy..." I called when I saw her. She gave me a quick hug before pulling away. After meeting my family, we left.

"Yah, isn't that Yi Jung?" The girl infront of me asked the guy beside her. Her eyes wide-opened. More people paid attention to me when that female said that. Gosh, please don't let those happen now. My family were with me... In order to make things better, I admitted that I was the one they were suspecting to be by smiling and bowing slightly. I then walked off when one of them suddenly ran to me from the side, passing me a piece of paper and a pen.

"Thank you." I bowed and passed it back to them after penning down my signature. Handphones held up aiming at me, soft cries of excitements as the girls got too high. I continued to move forward as more and more fans came to me. Not big enough to cause chaos, but I was feeling uneasy.

"Wait for me outside." I told my aunt who was the nearest to me and slightly pushed her. Then my mum and cousins went their way. As I was signing, I took tiny steps towards the entrance. If I don't move, I would just be trapped there. They wanted a photo with me, I granted their wish. They wanted an autograph, I granted that too. All just in order to leave quickly.

"Thank you." I thanked again as signed the last paper before quickly leaving. I guided my family to the car as the fans just continued to follow us as they squealed. After I assured everyone got into my car, I went to the driver seat and opened the door when another teenager ran to me and tugged lightly at the end of my sleeve before I could get in.

"Can I have your signature please?" She asked, eyes filled with excitement. I blocked the door before signing the notebook she passed to me. "And this. I will continue to support you...!" She handed me a carrier when I gave her back the book.

"Thank you." I smiled and bowed, taking the plastic bag and quickly hopped in. I smiled to her again before finally driving off.

I heaved a sigh of relief when I was finally moving on the road.

"God, it's my first time seeing this. You're so cool!" My cousin exclaimed from the back seat.

"Are you sure?" I glanced at the reverse mirror at her. "I'm sorry. I didn't know they could still recognise me." I apologised, eyes still on the road.

"Nah. We saw something new today. Thanks to you." The younger cousin seated beside me said, smiling at me. I smiled back. We chatted on our way back and soon, we arrived at the apartment.

"Ta-da!" I pushed the door opened as I introduced my home to them.

"Wow..." Both my cousins went in, mouths opened in amazement.

"It's beautiful." My aunt commented and I smiled back. My mum who had already been to my house just placed her hand on my shoulder as the two of us watched them as they looked around.

"I'm free till 10PM." I told them as they placed their stuffs in the rooms. "Wanna go shopping?"

"YES!" Both cousin exclaimed in unison and soon, we were out again.
-
It had been 9 days since my family was here. I had a great time with them. I even went to a spa with them without the agency knowing. My managers thought I was at home resting when I went to play. Haha! Shh... Secret...!

"You want this?" My mum asked Julie, the younger cousin when she had been laying her eyes on a handbag all the while since we entered the store. I looked at her direction when I was browsing the clothes to see them at the rack and went to them. I went beside her and picked the bag on the display. Nice bag, I thought. I turned to Julie, using my eyes and asked, 'this is the one you like?' and saw that hestitated look which told me she liked it. Not that she didn't have the money, it was just that she thinks too much when she goes shopping. With a smile, I brought the bag to the counter to make payment together with the shoes I chose earlier.

"Hey... I will pay myself." She came from behind, tugging on my arm.

"Why are you so bothered over who pays? It's the same." I told her as I gave the cashier the card. They came all the way to visit me and why can't I buy something for them? They are my family anyway.

"Thanks." She smiled a little.

"No problem." I smiled back and handed the paper bag to her and we left as the others doesn't saw something they like. We were like walking around when one little boy ran infront of us and slipped. "Oh my..." I gasped softly and quickly went forward to pick him up. "Are you alright?" I asked, looking down at his knees to check if he injured himself. He stared at me. "Noona, who are you?" Gosh, he recognised me?! He was like just three or four? I smiled, not knowing what to do or say. "Are you Yi Jung noona? You look like her." He asked me with eyes showing innocence. When he saw me staring at him in a little surprise, he pulled his arms away, running back behind us to his parents I guess.

"Omma! It's Yi Jung noona!" I heard his voice and if you were there, you can instantly see the shoppers turned their gaze to him then to me. I stared around, sensing another round of trouble was nearing. My mum urged me to continue walking and when the others saw that, they screamed! Covering their mouths, eyes wide opened, they stood rooted to the ground, looking at us walked away. Unfortunately, they regained back their senses quickly and being chasing after me. I did not run, knowing they were just fans.

"Oh my god! It's really Yi Jung! Unnie~!!!" One bunch of girl stopped infront of us. My mum, cousins and aunt were stunned by this scene. They were tugging on my hands which made me really uncomfortable. Bowing and smiling, I tried to pull away and prepare to flee. It would be easy if what they wanted was just an autograph or a photo but it doesn't seem to be that case. I was getting nervous as more people gathered around.

"Yah, stop it. Can't you see she's shopping with her family?" One of the girls from the bunch of girls voiced out, pulling her friends' hands off mine. I was taken aback. I mean, how many fans would actually think that way? I turned to her, wanting to thank her when I found her familiar.

"Oh, hello..." I smiled and greeted when I finally recognised her as one of my fans since my debut. I saw her many times. She isn't Yoo Rin. She's just another loyal fan like Yoo Rin, even though I don't know if she was still my fans. She had realised that I recognised her and she stunned, stammering as she returned the greeting.

"H-hello." Then she seemed delighted. When I wanted to smile back, the security guards came and pulled the girls back, making way for me. I bowed to them and quickly moved off.

"Jung Seo ah! She recognised you!" I heard one of her friends squealed and then, shrieked again. Oh ya, her name is Jung Seo. Now I remember. Moving out from the mall with continuos fan-screamings, we heaved a sigh of relief.

"God, I didn't expect this. Shopping with you can be dangerous..." Janet, the elder cousin joked. I chuckled softly.

"You have to be careful when you're alone." My aunt reminded me and I nodded. I dug in my bag for my phone when I felt my whole bag vibrated.

"Yeobeosaeyo?" We walked to the carpark. My cousins were still crazy over the incident just now while my mum and aunt were talking about what to eat.

"It's me." I heard Seung Hyun's voice. I smiled.

"Hm."

"Where are you? I'm hungry." I laughed when he somewhat whined.

"I'm with my family right now. Hold on." I took the phone away and asked if it was alright if he joined us. My mum and aunt were fine and my cousins stared at me, jaws dropped when I asked, can't believe their ears. Then, they held each others' arms and began jumping up and down. "Oppa, wanna join us then?" I turned back to the phone, ignoring my insane cousins.

"Great! But who's screaming over there?"

"You have fangirls here. Be prepared." I 'warned'. He laughed and after deciding on what we were going to eat, we hanged up. My aunt had suggested eating barberqued pork so through experience, Seung Hyun and I chose the outlet we used to go.

"Oh my god! Are we really going to meet TOP?! For real?!" Janet asked, hitting my seat with her fists. Then, she and Julie shrieked again. My mum and I laughed softly at their craziness while my aunt frowned.

"Will the both of you calm down?" She eyed her two daughters, trying to stop them.

"Mummy. It's TOP for goodness sake! We got to see him for free!" Excitement filled Julie as she sqeauled again, hands cover . My aunt just rolled her eyes at that. During the journey, Seung Hyun had been calling, asking what my mum likes, what should he buy for them and learning last minute basic English. In addition to that, the two cousins of mine had been asking what Seung Hyun likes, wanting to get something for him. It was so noisy, so irrtitating, but in a good way.

"Please restrain when the two of you see him." I said to Julie and Janet before we entered the outlet. They nodded, but from what I saw, I know it was hard for them to control. Then, we went in. The waitress brought us to a VIP room. When we were nearing, Janet and Julie hid behind me, grabbing my arm.

"Hey, I'm getting nervous..." Janet said softly.

"Don't have to. He's not that cool actually." I answered nonchantly. They both of them slapped both my shoulders at the same time which made me jumped.

"What?" I turned back to them, whispering before turning back as the waitress slid the door opened. Looking up, Seung Hyun immediately stood up.

"Oppa." I called, smiling as I entered.

"Hello." He bowed and greeted in English. My family isn't the formal type so they wouldn't mind if people greet them informally.

"Hello...!" My mum and aunt greeted.

"H-hello." My cousins were freaking nervous and that made me suppressed my laughter. It was like looking at myself when I first saw Seung Hyun.

"My mum, my aunt, elder cousin, younger cousin." I introduced one by one. "Seung Hyun." I introduced him to my family and my cousins' expression was epic! I had not seen them being such a fangirl before... Then, we got seated and started to order. It was awkward at first but things slowly got fine. The atmosphere became lightened as my mum was the jovial type. I became their free-labour translator.

"He was saying- I'm sorry..." I laughed, embarassed when I realised myself speaking Korean to my aunt. I got so confused. English here, then Korean there. "He said he was glad to do so."

"Why is your cousins so quiet?" Seung Hyun leaned towards me and whispered. I looked at them. Gee, so excited just now and all so nervous now...

"Nervous." I simply replied, clamming my lips, suppressing myself from laughing again. The both of us helped barberqued the meat. He did it out of politeness while I did it because I don't eat pork.

"I have ordered chicken and beef. Wait a little." He patted my hand on my lap as he pushed the cup of water to me. I smiled before drinking a mouth. Then, the other meats came. Chicken! My favourite! I placed them on the hot metal and waited for the colour to change. I served them on a plate and offered them to my family first before barberqueing for myself.

"Eat." I finished cooking all the meat and placed some on the plate for Seung Hyun and I. "Mummy." I called as I handed another plate filled with meat. I wrapped the meat with the cabbage and chewed it. So yummy!

"Slowly. Don't choke yourself." He patted my back lightly. I smiled like a kid, looking satisfied as long as I got to see delicious food. My cousins looked at me like, why are you smiling like that? They can't stand me being childish... The dinner was good, the atmosphere was good, thanks to my mum. I got a lot of help from her. It was not easy to lighten the mood alone. I managed to get my cousins to chat with Seung Hyun, even though it was just a few sentences.

"Oppa, you can go off first. You have practice right?" I said when we were outside.

"Okay then." He patted my head and bid farewell to my family. I waved as his car zoomed down the road.

"God! He's so handsome! Even the way he eats!" Julie started her excitement the moment the car disappeared.

"Then why are you so quiet just now?" My aunt asked. Shaking her head, not knowing what to do with those daughters of her's, she sighed.

"You should make use of the chance to talk." My mum said. Then they started to regret.

"Hey, there will be next time right?" Janet asked me.

"Maybe...?" I smiled before leading them into the car.
