<3 Okurah

The backstage crew found emergency flashlights and managed to lead the upset fans out of the arena. HypE was safely guided out after most of the angry crowd dispersed. They stayed hidden and quiet. None of them really had anything to say being to consumed in their slight depression.

After finally exiting the building, they sat and waited in a small garden like area in back of the building. This is where they were told by Bae-Appa to wait for their Manager. After a couple of minutes passed however, it began to lightly drizzle.

"Perfect weather for the perfect debut." Haeyun says breaking the silence. His tone thick with dissapointment as he expresses his dark humor. The six other glance at him with the same distraught look.

"We should get out of this rain. I don't want any of us getting sick." Aerin manages to say after a long sigh. Her motherly instinct seemed to still kick in despite her saddened demeanor.

"It wouldn't matter anyways. It's not like we have anything to do. No debut means we're basically still invisible." MinJee says clipping her words. Only a blind person would miss the amount of anger she held inside. She found it very upsetting that everything they worked so hard came to this.

Aerin gave a pained look before continuing to usher them towards a covered area of the garden. The two maknae's seemed to be taking it the worse. Being the youngest though it was completely expected. They both had a ghostly expression on their face. It was as if someone went and stole their most valued item.

As Aerin began to guide everyone over to the covered area, Jae Hyun began moving their items over as well. He handed each member their things, but stopped when he came to JaKyung. She was quite a distance away from the others. Something that wasn't very JaKyungie. Her normally happy self seemed to have changed completely. He found it weird and quite unsettling. Sitting next to her he sees her glance at him quickly before continuining to look off in to the distance.

"You okay?" He asks but mentally slaps himself already knowing the answer. Receiving a silent nod from the Busan girl, he sighs and shakes his head. Not recieving any other response he pats her head and begins to stand up. When a hand grabs his own, he freezes and looks back at the completely foreign JaKyung in front of distance again.

"I'll be okay. Just not right now." She finally answers him with a ghost of a smile, before letting his hand go and staring off into the engrossed enough to keep her mind off things.

"I'm going off for a bit." Jae Hyun says over his shoulder obviously upset. As he walks off he pulls his hoodie over his head to remain anonymous and dry. He managed to snag his guitar as well.

As Jae Hyun walked away, Aerin couldn't help but mentally wish for him to be careful. It was after all her job as the Umma to worry about each of the members. Including the said 'Appa' himself.

As a bit of time passed and no sign of Jae Hyun or KwangSu could be seen, the six remaining members began to grow tired. MinJee and JaKyung could be seen snoozing lightly in their chairs. KyungSu was playing something on his newly obtained 3DS. HaNi was next to him watching him play hoping to become him. The twins were talking amongst each other quietly. Mostly venting their feelings of this horrid day.

"You coniving sneak! How dare you do this!!" A loud shout is heard from around the corner. The shout causes each member to rise at attention. The commotion even managed to wake the two sleeping members.

"Did you guys hear that?" Aerin asks as she begins to stand from her spot.

"That sort of sounded like..."

"Bae-Appa?" HaNi confirms Haeyun's suspicion as well as cutting him off. The six members glance at each other in question.

"Why would Bae-Appa be yelling though? He never yells!" JaKyung speaks up from her spot.

"Well there's only one way to find out." MinJee drawls standing from her spot and making her way towards the commotion.

"Wait!! We'll get soaked!" Aerin says as she watches MinJee and JaKyung step out into the now pouring rain.

"Come on Noona! It's not like we have anything else to do!" Haeyun announces before proceeding to drag his sister out into the rain. "Let's go watch us some drama!" He announces happy for the change in atmosphere or any sort of distraction.

"Won't we get in trouble for leaving the spot we were told to wait?" KyungSu says slowly putting his game back in his bag.

"Quit being a goody two shoes! Come on lets go!" HaNi exclaims, proceeding to drag the complaining boy in the rain and after the others.

As the six members peak around the corner they're surprised to find their claims were right. It was in fact Bae-nim yelling. What they didn't expect though, was him to be yelling at the familiar figure of-

"Isn't that Manager KwangSu?!"

Meanwhile Jae Hyun could be found wandering the streets. As he took a long drag from his cigarette, he could feel himself calming down slowly. He knew smoking was a bad habit, but he needed it to calm down at the moment. Being the Leader, he couldn't help but feel somehow responsible for his groups sadness. He felt as if he let them down somehow. When he feels the light drizzle begin to get heavier he finds a small bus stop to provide him shelter. He smiled softly as he could practically hear Aerin telling him to stay out of the rain.

He takes a seat not even realizing he sat next to someone. When he hears a sniffle he notices the figure next to him. He put out his cigarette so that the figure next to him wouldn't be disturbed by his smoke. He could tell by the sniffles that the figure was upset. He glanced to his side to find it was a young girl. Maybe the same age as JaKyung and Aerin, a year or two younger in fact. He couldn't help but realize she was soaking wet and crying. Jae Hyun could feel his heart tighten at the sad sight.

"Are... Are you okay, miss?" He asks knowing that she could not possibly identify him by his voice. Hearing hism, she stares with her big tear stained eyes.

"Why are you crying?" He asks again gently. The girl quickly wipes her eyes before answering.

"I'm sad. Today was suppose to be an awesome day! And it started out that way too, but, a sudden turn of events made it horrible." She said softly looking at her hands in her lap.

"Your story sounds a lot like mines." Jae Hyun couldn't help but laugh at the likliness, "What happened?" He smiles patiently pushing her to go on.

"I saved up all my money from a couple of months worth of side jobs to see a concert." At her words Jae Hyun could feel his eyes widen slightly.

"Today was suppose to be the debut of the new group, HypE! You've heard of them right?" She asks looking at the mysterious boy next to her. He could only answer with a nod.

"It was great! I mean, I got to watch the opening acts such as B1A4, Teen Top, and Block B. But, when HypE was about to go on everything went haywire and the concert was cut short." She stopped for a moment.

"Not only that but it started pouring, soaking me and the poster I bought of HypE! I was hoping to get it signed by the members, but it's ruined now." She finishes shivering slightly because of her soaked clothing. Jae Hyun quietly sat there absorbing what she said.

"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to dump my useless problems on you." She apologizes taking the strangers silence as a bad thing. When she feels something warm being draped around her, she finds that the stranger had given her his jacket. In surprise she looks at him to be stunned.

"You! You're Park Jae Hyun! From HypE!!" She squeals slightly pointing at him in shock. He smiles at her. He found her reaction to be quite pleasing. He couldn't believe that someone actually knew who he was.

"I thank you for being a fan of us." He says bowing to her... Well as much as he could while sitting.

"Are you kidding me?! You have a bunch of fans, Jae Hyun-sshi!!" She exclaims, her sad demeanor instantly replaced by happiness.

"Just call me oppa." He responds patting the younger girl on the head. She was a little cutie. Actually, she reminded him a lot of his younger sisters back at home. The light in this girls eyes made him much happier. "What's your name?"

"Oh! I'm... My name's Yumi." She replies blushing slightly in embarrassment. Here she was crying her heart out and looking so unpresentable in front of an idol.

"Well Yumi! Thank you." Jae Hyun says while adjusting the guitar back on his shoulders. When greeted with a confused look he only smiles again. This only proved to provoke a blush from the girl.

"Thank you for cheering me up. The group and I were very bummed not to be able to debut today. Meeting a fan that actually looked forward to seeing us has made my day!" He says with a wicked eye smile.

"You have lots of fans Oppa. Most of the people in that stadium were rooting for you guys." She says smiling shyly. The male next to her had a very unique charm to him.

"Still, I'd like to thank you and cheer you up!" He replied pulling his guitar in position for him to start playing. "I can't exactly sign what you wanted HypE to sign, but I can give you a small performance." He finishes happily. He pulled a pair of glasses and beanie on just in case. Before the girl could say a word, he began to strum his guitar while standing up. His music however, began to catch attention.

"Oh, lights go on again. Oh, lights go on again." He halts his strumming to tap on his guitar before continuing his beat of strumming and tapping. Anyone who heard this could easily tell he was covering a song from BEAST. A smart decision on the leaders part.

"Yes sir, lights go on again. Keep on and on and on, on and on and on." He began his cover by smoothly rapping JunHyung's part of the song. He wasn't the rapper of the group so his rap was much more melodic. As he continued on with the song, he closed his eyes to be better in touch with the music. Yumi happily began to sway back and forth to the whimsical beat made by Jae Hyun's fingers.

"Dashi bicheul bichoomyeon dashi nareul ggae-oomyeon. Nae mameul dashi oomjikyeo, oh. Lights go on again, lights go on again." As he finally came to the bridge of the song he opened his eyes to find that he was attracting quite a bit of attention. He decided it would be best to end the song short.

"Oh lights go on again-" He finishes the chorus off and puts his guitar down as he heard the people who gathered around them applaud. He could feel a slight heat make it's way across his cheeks before bowing at his viewers. As the crowd dispersed, he sat back down next to Yumi, who smiled cheekily at him.

"That was awesome, Jae-Oppa!!" She says while clapping happily. When her bus pulls up she frowns before standing slowly, "It was nice meeting you Oppa, but this is my ride, so I have to go." She began to take off the jacket to return it to him but he stops her.

"It's alright, you can keep it." He replies smiling at his first fan. She smiles before hugging him and sending him back slightly in surprise. He laughs after a bit and hugs her back.

"Thank you!! I'll take good care of it!! It's nice to know that the members of HypE are so kind to their fans." As she separates from him and heads towards the bus she stops before turning back, "Try not to be too upset Oppa. The fans will always wait for you guys!" With that said she waved a goodbye before leaving on the bus.

Jae Hyun waved goodbye before smiling slowly to himself. He quickly began to make his way back to his group to share what just happened with them. As he grew closer to the garden area, he found everyone's things but no owners. He was quite soaked by the rain already but continued to walk in it. When he heard some commotion going on around the corner he began to head there.

When he got closer, he could see six people trying to be sneaky. He chuckles before making his way behind them. He peered over Haeyun's shoulder and watched as the figures yelled at each other. Or well, more like one yell at the other.

"Isn't that Manager KwangSu?!" He asks successfully scaring Haeyun causing him to let out a mew. The new piece of information set into the now seven members heads as they continued to listen.

"How could you! We trusted you! They trusted you!" The father of RisEntertainment yells at the smaller male.

"They trusted you to lead them through this and you go and do the complete opposite!!" This causes MinJee to raise an eyebrow. KwangSu seems to say something quietly to the upset man only causing Bae to grow even more angrier. The seven were shocked. Never have they seen their CEO so angry. Heck! This was the first time they've ever seen him angry at all!

"How is ruining their debut helping them?! You really thought cutting the wires to everything would HELP!" Bae shouts causing KwangSu to flinch. Any hint of pity HypE had for their manager instantly dissappeard at those words. They instantly began to glare at the man they once trusted and called their Manager.

"I can't believe you did this!" Bae says pulling his soaked hair a bit. KwangSu manages to say something that must have shocked Bae.

"YOU'RE WORKING FOR HIM!!" Bae shouts wide eyed. A string of profanity could be heard exiting his mouth. Which Jae Hyun and Aerin both answer by covering the maknaes' ears.

"GET OUT! YOU'RE FIRED! I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOUR FACE IN MY, NOR HYPE'S PRESENCE EVER AGAIN." He finishes storming off and leaving the younger male standing in the rain. HypE, having heard enough, angrily made their way back to the waiting area. They could not believe what they just heard.

KwangSu however, remained still. His head still down as the rain continued to soak him to the bone. He looked down at the phone in his hand before quickly rereading the text he just sent. He glared at it and let it drop to the ground. With stomp of his foot he heard the crack of glass and began to walk away, shaking his head.

(A/N: Try not to get lost!! Officially switching to HQ!!)

Three figures could be seen moving in complete synchronization. Their movements were sharp and crisp matching the very dark tone of the song they were practicing to perform. Once the last note was played out, the middle figure collapsed to the ground in a tired heap.

"Hyungs! Please! May we take a break now?" The figure on the ground asks causing the two on his side to glance at him dissaprovingly.

"What! Don't give me that look! We've been at this all day!!" He answer throwing his arms up in the air like it was a big deal. "I haven't even had time to shop today!" He finishes pouting at the end of his sentence and slumping over on the ground again.

"Minki, we need to practice." The oldest of the male sub-group answers. He had switched his dissaproving look for a more teasing one. "Your shopping can wait. You shop 24/7." He answers rolling his eyes slightly at the diva of the group.

"You're lucky I shop, or else we wouldn't eat at all!!" He answer haughtily crossing his arms over his chest as he lays on his back.

"No, if the girls didn't cook for us, we wouldn't eat at all." The quiet figure to his left corrects him. "You're useless when it comes to food." Ma Roo says smirking slightly. Minki's reactions always amused him the most.

"Don-Don, why are you always so mean to me?" Minki asks as he looks at the smirking male. Ma Roo's smirk drops to a scowl as the horrid nickname is said.

"Perhaps it has something to do with constantly calling him that? You know he doesn't like it." The oldest, JinSun, says.

"But why?! It's such a cute nickname!!" Minki rejoices happily. Ma Roo glared at him while scoffing out, "Idiot" in English not wanting to be understood.

"So, about that break?" Minki asks JinSun in high hopes as he attatches himself to the older male's leg. JinSun quickly moves back causing Minki to lose grip.

"Eww, no, don't touch me. You're all sweaty." JinSun announces causing Ma Roo to snort slightly in laughter. Minki however huffs slightly offended.

"Hey! It's your fault! I wouldn't be sweating if we didn't practice so long." Minki defends his sweaty self. "This is what I get for being in a sub-group with two perfectionists." He sighs to himself.

"Maybe you should follow our lead." Ma Roo says teasingly.

"Why do you want a break to shop? You shop everyday!" JinSun exclaims confused by the shopaholic.

"Cause that's my obsession~" Minki sings a part of the number they've been practicing for so long. This only provokes the other two to roll their eyes again.

"You need the practice, diva. That was off key." Ma Roo says causing Minki to glare at him. With a gentle smile, Ma Roo let's Minki know it was only a joke.

A knock on the door catches their attention as a petite girl peaks in. Meeting the stares of the three handsome boys, she blushes slightly at the sudden attention.

"CEO Kwan wishes to see you three in his office. The girls will be there as well." The small girl says, her voice barely a whisper. When the three boys nod, she quickly shuts the door and escapes their stares.

"Guess you won't be shopping after all." JinSun announces while smirking at a now irritated Minki.

In another room a bit down the hall, three girls sat in a circle in the middle of a mirrored room. They each had papers in their hands, choosing to practice their vocals rather than dancing. Their voices were each strong and audibly unique.

"I don't like this song." Chae announces after their fifth time going over the number. The statement catches the other two females off guard as they glance at the maknae questionably.

"I don't like singing this song." HyunJi responds with a distasteful look on her face. This causes the other two to laugh.

"Hush, HyunJi! I know you prefer to dance but your voice is beautiful as well!" The red head of the group says ruffling the comedian's hair before turning her attention back to the maknae. "Why don't you like this song?" DD asks.

"Really Unnie?" She asks. Receiving two blank stares she continues, "Do we seem like the type to sing this sort of song?" Chae finishes while glancing at the lyrics.

"Maknae's got a point, DD." HyunJi agrees as she takes the time to actually process the meaning of the song.

"Well, we'll just have to act michyeoga~" DD anounces as she sings the highly repeated word in their new number.

"I actually think this'll be fun!" HyunJi announces from her spot sprouting her highly contagious smile. "We can be our complete opposites in this song!!" She says receiving happy claps from the maknae.

"Yes! I can finally be naughty naughty." She says reciting a line from Mr.Simple.

"Our mischevious maknae." DD responds while shaking her head slightly. When someone clears their throat however, the laughter stops. Standing at the door is the same petite girl.

"CEO Kwan requests your presence in his office. The boys should already be there." Once the words left the shy girl's mouth, she was gone.

"Yeah! Nice meeting you too!" Chae shouts out sarcastically causing HyunJi to quickly reach over and cover "Ms. Water Lips" mouth.

"Chae! You know how shy SooMin-Unnie is." DD announces while shaking her head at Chae's antics. Once that was settled they began their travel to Kwan's office. Their CEO tended to be a bit... Intimidating. So it wasn't unusual for the girls to grow nervous as they came closer to their destination. Kwan was a businessman and you could tell.

(A/N: HQ-F and HQ-M are the sub-groups of HQ. The 'F' simply represents Female and 'M' stands for Male. I didn't want to make two-other group names.)

Knocking on the office door, HQ-F was pleasantly surprised when Ma Roo of HQ-M answers the door. Seeing the girls, Ma Roo greets them with a small smile.

"Minki, your friends are here." He drawls out before leaving the door to return to his seat, followed by the girls.

"Hey guys!" Chae greets the boys.

"Long time no see!" HyunJi replies sarcastically, knowing they see each other everyday. That what they should expect having to share a large dorm with each other. When the females sit themselves down across from the boys, DD decides to speak up.

"So, any ideas why we're here?" She asks no one in particular.

"We were hoping you'd know." JinSun replies from his spot. The door opens causing all eyes to land on the clean cut and professional looking man.

"Great you're on time." The man announces as he takes his seat at the head of the table. Once seated he crosses his legs and stares at HQ with his sharp eyes. No matter how long they've known their President, they could never shake the cold feeling of his stare.

"I've got great news." He says causing the six beauties in front of him to lean forward a bit in anticipation. He proceeds to place his phone on the desk and slide it down the table towards JinSun. When it stops, the oldest member glances at it before picking it up. The five huddle a bit closer to see what's on the phone, causing JinSun to grow uncomfortable.

"HypE?" Minki asks from his spot after skimming through the article opened on the phone.

"Who are they, President-nim?" HyunJi asks feeling a bit gutsy. A smile spreads it's way across Kwan's face. It was not one of happiness though. It had a more evil incentive to it.

"They are your enemy." He states as if it were plain to see.

"Enemy?" Chae asks.

"I think it's about time I explained why I picked you six up from that horrid company known as RisEntertainment." He says with malice causing the six in front of him to grow a bit weary. JinSun sets the phone back down on the table showing CEO Kwan that he had his complete attention.

"I think you're ready to know the truth about the president of RisEntertainment, Kim Bae. Also known as my older brother." He states with a malicious smirk.

And... Scene!! How'd you guys do? I hope you aren't too lost T^T
