CHAPTER 15 ****** MOVING OUT, GROWING UP
“You know they’re Angels?” I asked feeling betrayed, appa put his hand on my umma’s shoulder and nodded
“Yes darling we knew since they came down to earth, after all we are part of the Archangel group” umma said as though dealing with angels is part of her daily life… wait… Archangel? Umma had told me about this before…
“Aren’t Archangels the highest rank for angels?” I asked umma bewildered, she nodded and put her arms around my appa, they smiled at each other with love in their eyes
“B.A.P are Archangels dear, after all only Archangels are allowed to enter Earthen ground, though they’re not very well known they’re known as the best ‘they’ have” my appa averted his eyes away from my umma’s to look at the members who were avoiding my eye contact, all apart from Daehyun
“Sorry we didn’t tell you” Daehyun smiled at me guilty that he kept this from me, I shook my head and looked at appa
“Well he’s still 16 in my eyes, anyway what on earth are you doing on earth if your Archangels?” I asked Daehyun who blushed, the other member’s cheeks turned red as I looked at them for an explanation
“You know that we became Archangels at quite a young age right? Ahem so…” Yongguk cleared his throat trying to find the right words but couldn‘t really finish the sentence so Daehyun took over.
“Well we never really had a chance to grow up and experience a real life so we asked out superiors if we could quit as Archangels and come down to earth to… you know… settle down” he looked away from my eyes and gulped, he put a hand on my lower back and smiled down at me. “I’m the first one to find my girl and trust me I’m not letting her go” he teased making me blush, “I got a job and earn a living so I’m more settled down then the other members at the moment… even though I’m not the oldest” Daehyun joked making the older members look down in defeat.
“I wish I had a job” I pouted making Daehyun look at me with a worried expression, he ruffled my hair and replaced his frown with a smile
“Don’t worry we’ll get you a job a TS” he allowed me to sort my hair out before hugging me from behind, my parents looked at us and put their arms around each other with proud expressions
“Will it be enough to afford a house?” I sighed again worrying about money issues at my age is stupid, “there’s the rent and then the electric bill and then the TV licence and then there’s the water bill and then there’s the key deposit. Umma, Appa did you even think about this before hand?” I asked them with angry eyes, they looked at each other with hesitant expressions
“Darling this is something that our family has done for 6 generations, it happened with your father and your grand father. It’s just something that we have to do, for tradition” my umma said with her usual crazy smile
“Your both nuts, your sending your 18 year old daughter to Seoul when she’s only just returned from Jeju after a year, I have no job, no plan, how do you expect me to live? AISH” I yelled before storming off to my room. To be honest I’m not really scared about living by myself, but it’s the fact that it’s too sudden, I’ve been 18 for all of three days and my parents are rushing to get me out of their sights. I slammed me door behind me and rushed over to my bed where I screamed into my pillow in frustration, there was a knock at my door and when I didn’t answer them they just opened the door anyway.
“Yejin are you okay?” Daehyun’s soft voice asked, I instantly relaxed but kept my face in my pillow, “it must be tough” he sounded so nice, like he could make all the stress go away with one word. He sat down next to me and put a hand on my head, “don’t worry all the members will pitch in” he sounded like he was smiling. I turned my head to look at him, he was smiling angelically at me, he looked so cute.
“But your going back to your dorm soon right?” I asked suddenly remembering what uncle said on the first day he came. Daehyun realised it as well and scratched the back of his neck, just then the door slammed open and 4 guys fell through the door but then there was Jongup behind them, he smiled innocently and waved at us.
“What were you doing?” I asked sitting up on bed, they instantly got up and dusted themselves off
“We… um… we were…” Youngjae tried to lie but Jongup rushed past him and came to sit next to Daehyun
“We were snooping, and we are moving back to our dorms at the end of this month, your parents didn’t know so I just told them” Jongup blurted while still smiling, I tried to get mad at him but there was just something that stopped people from getting mad at Jongup, like he was just so innocently honest.
“So what did they say?” I asked them, they looked between them selves and sighed in unison…
“We… we have a spare room… but it’s our wardrobe… and the only other room is a small room that we use as our dressing room…” Youngjae looked like he was going to cry… Wait a minute… there are 6 boys sleeping in one room but they have three bedrooms?
“Are clothes that important to you?” I asked them as if they were crazy, they looked at me with desperate expressions
“Yes they are, we’re idols, we need to be seen as fashionable people” Himchan said in a rush while nodding like he was being shook by a fan, the members all looked down in sorrow as they thought about looking their beloved walking wardrobe/spare bedroom.
“So I’m going to move into your dorm?” I felt so confused… “wait a minute what about my parents wanting me to move into a house?” I shook my head trying to think, Daehyun also looked curious
“Well they said that because your so unprepared they’re fine with you moving into the apartment, but the Taesung hyung said you need to word at TS before your given permission… so we’ve gotten you an interview tomorrow afternoon” Yongguk flashed his gummy smile at me
“Just how long have I been in this room?” I asked them with a blank face, they laughed and just then my parents ran in, my mum holding the phone to her neck
"Darling we've just got you an interview with the CEO of TS, it's tomorrow at 1pm" she bellowed happily, I looked at them with a raised eyebrows, they avoided my eyes and pretended that nothing had happened prior to my parents entering my room.
“That’s great” I acted, thankfully I’m like my brothers, I can lie and act like a professional, “but are you sure you want me to leave?” I looked at them with an unsure look, but then they looked at each other with warm smiles… this can’t be good news
“Well now’s a good time to tell you I guess” my appa put one hand on my umma’s waist and the other on her stomach, “your umma’s expecting” … WHAT!!!
“Well your brothers are turning 20 soon and your leaving home so… I thought about how lonely the house will feel so we’ve been trying for a few months now and… well we found out two months ago” … WHAT!!!!!!!!
“U…Umma… aren’t you getting to the age of…” I started but she cut me off with a cold stare…
“I’m only 38” she pouted and looked at appa with the pouted upset face that made me want to curl my toes. “And anyway who cares what age I am so long as I can care for it like I did with you and your siblings” she smiled but then realised that she still had the phone to her neck, “oh sorry Taesung-ssi I just told Yejin the news” what??? “I think she’s happy about it but we’ll know when the shock wears off” she laughed once before saying her goodbyes… I held my emotions back and jumped out of bed before grabbing my suit cases from under my bed
“Yejin are you okay?” Daehyun asked suddenly worried at my sudden packing, I nodded but kept my head down and continued to pack, “Yejinnie calm down your going to put a hole in the floor” he took my hand to stop me from pacing but I tugged it free and didn’t finish until I’d fully packed my case
“Oppa can we go now please?” I asked in a wobbly voice, he finally understood and nodded before taking the extremely heavy suitcase from my hands, he held my hand with his free one and led me out of the house and into the car where my uncle was waiting.
“Yejinnie are you okay?” my uncle asked like he knew what had happened inside, I nodded again but still kept quiet, “do you want me to get the rest of your things tomorrow?” he asked but again I just nodded. A few seconds later the rest of the B.A.P members climbed into the car and we started our 2 and a half hour drive to Seoul…
“Yejin wake up we’re in Seoul” someone nudged me awake making my heart race… when did I fall asleep? I looked out of the window and was amazed with the sight in front of me…
“Wow” I gawked as I looked out onto the busy bright streets of Seoul, this is the second time I’ve been in Seoul itself, I’ve only ever drove around it from going on holiday. There were bright neon light eliminating the night’s darkness, people were walking about in their work attire but some of them looked drunk. “What time is it?” I yawned while looking over my uncle’s shoulder at the clock on the dashboard.
“It’s half past 9” my uncle said in a quiet voice, he was looking excessively at his surroundings, I also looked around wondering what’s got my uncle so tense but then a taxi sped in front of us causing my uncle to slam the breaks on. He rolled down his window and stuck his head out. “HEY YOU LITTLE $£”$%$”%”$ COME HERE AND DO THAT AGAIN YOU LITTLE £$”£%$”£!£$£$” he put his head back in the car and rolled his window back up before carrying on driving while mumbling to himself…
“It’s glad to be back” Youngjae’s frightened voice whimpered in the back ground, I turned around to see the members holding onto their seatbelts for dear life… ‘hold on’ Youngjae mouthed before I turned around, but before I had a chance to secure myself my uncle slammed the breaks down again. Daehyun had to catch me before I fell out of my seatbelt.
“I think I better keep hold of you before you go flying” Daehyun joked but he securely put his arms around me and kept me tight to him until uncle parked in an underground car park. Now the members relaxed and sighed in relief, uncle parked up and unlocked the doors allowing us to get out.
“Now that the death ride of manager hyung is over, I’m just going to warn you before you go into the apartment, there’s something that you must realise, this is a boy’s dorm so… just be prepared…” Daehyun put his hand on my waist as we walked over to the elevator. The members were starting to get fidgety in the ride up, Yongguk was actually sweating… we got out of the elevator but we were greeted by lodes of cardboard boxes and brightly coloured packages
“Oh it must be fan mail day” Yongguk walked past us and picked a piece of paper which was on the top of one of the piles. “Oh great Himchan won again” Yongguk said unenthusiastically, Himchan slipped past us and ran over to Yongguk, he picked the paper from Yongguk with his free hand, his bag in the other.
“Hold my bag will you darling? How many did I get this time?” he handed the bag to a unhappy Yongguk and looked at the paper… his smile fell as he saw the results… “AISH JINJJA” he shouted in frustration, “ONLY BY 1? YAH JUNG DAEHYUN” he pointed the paper towards Daehyun in a desperate face.
“I came second by one?” Daehyun took the paper from Himchan and looked at the results, “I got 33, Himchan hyung got 34 and Zelo got 30 along with Yongguk hyung, and Jongup and Youngjae are also tied with 28” Zelo smiled brightly at his result and looked over to where the other members were searching through their packages. “I wonder if I got anymore cherry tomatoes” he said to himself excitedly.
“Looks like you’ve got some competition hyung” Jongup patted Himchan’s back and walked into the dorm with his boxes stacked on one hand… he’s really impressive. Himchan pouted but carried half of his packages inside the dorm… I caught a sent of something vile for a moment but I ignored it. I looked up at a shocked Daehyun who walked over to his pile of fan mail near the door… the smell was strong here… it smelt like rotting kimchi… NAASTY…
“You guys have competitions with fan mail?” I asked taking the paper from his hands, wow last week Daehyun only got 20 packages… he must really be climbing up people’s bias list lately… either that or they’re getting more fans. “So has Himchan always been number one?” I asked Daehyun who nodded awkwardly carrying boxes in his right hand and wheeling my suit case with the other. “I’ll wait here with my suit case you hurry and go put your fan mail inside” well half of it. He nodded and quickly run inside with most of the boxes leaving about 10 in the hallway
“Sorry about that, I’m just really shocked, I knew that our fan base was growing but I never thought that it would increase by this much in just 1 week” he picked up the rest of the boxes and I took charge of my suit case again… he suddenly stopped at the door and turned around to look at me. “Okay so I’m just going to tell you know our dorm is a complete mess we’ve been too busy debuting to actually do any cleaning what so ever, we’ll clean it up tomorrow I promise you” he said all in one go without any breaths… well he isn’t called the main vocal for nothing.
“It’s okay I’ve been in an all boy’s school locker room before, I think I can handle whatever’s in your dorm…” I walked past him but stopped dead at the door… WHAT THE HELL IS THIS??? Forget an all boys dorm it’s more like a beat’s lair, there were piles or dirty shoed piled up in the entrance, the storage on either side of the doorway were broke and they were full of dirty laundry and rubbish… It smelt like damp cross with feet cross with death… “w…wh…what???” I stuttered while clumsily making my way from the stinking entrance to a dirty hallway… I walked into the living room where the members were sat in the living room… they were sat on dirty clothes and fast food leftovers…
“Mianhae but listen…” I cut him off by walking into the living room where everyone was now stood looking at me in fear… Kick mode activated.
“YAH STAND UP” I shouted making them shoot onto their feet, “ATTENTION” I bellowed, Daehyun ran over to the members and they all stood in a straight with their hands by their sides. “WHAT IS THIS PLACE?” I shouted, they hesitated but shouted back in soldier tone
“IT’S OUR DORM” they shouted in unison but I sighed making them wince
“NO THIS IS A DUMP AND DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR GOING TO DO NOW?” I bellowed, they hesitated again before shouting back at me
“WE’RE GOING TO TIDY IT TOMORROW?” it sounded more like a question and my military half didn’t like it
“NO YOUR GOING TO CLEAN IT NOW, HIMCHAN YOUR SORT OUT THE GARBAGE, ZELO YOUR ON LAUNDRY DUTY, YONGGUK KEEP THEM SUPERVISED AND HELP OUT WITH ANY OTHER TASKS. GO GO GO” I shouted in military mode, they saluted before running off into the dorm.
“What about us?” Daehyun winked which made me blush, Jongup noticed and gasped
“MISS CHO, ARE YOU GOING TO GIVE HIM SPECIAL TREATMENT?” he shouted in military style, that snapped me out of it, I straightened back up and got back into my act.
“NO HE’S ON BATHROOM DUTY” I shouted making Daehyun groan, I smirked and cleared my throat which was starting to hurt, I haven’t done this in a while. “JONGUP YOUR ON KITCHEN DUTY AND YOUNGJAE YOU SUPERVISE THEM AND HELP OUT WITH OTHER STUFF. GO GO GO” I shouted for the final time, they saluted and ran off less enthusiastic. I sighed and grabbed my suitcase before walking down the busy halls, I walked into what must be my room… it was huge… why do they have all this room just for their clothes. I found Zelo in here piling laundry into huge washing baskets.
“Ah Yejin, this will be your room, your uncle’s gone off to get you a bed from the TS storage… I must warn you things from there never end up good” he laughed before tying roped between the full baskets and pulled them out of the like a train… that is a good idea.I walked into the room and looked around, it’s a decent sized room and it has a good sized window. I walked out and took my phone out… let’s make this fun…
“OKAY GATHER HERE FOR A MOMENT” I shouted as loud as I, my voice not breaking once which was surprising as my throat felt like it was on fire. The members gathered and lined up again, this time their hands behind their backs and their feet slightly apart, “I’m going to set a timer and whoever finishes their chores after the timer has to buy lunch” they all groaned but Zelo put his hand up
“But what about me?” he asked innocently, I realised that he probably doesn’t get as much because of his age, I thought about it and then DING!
“You will have to do the quickest person’s chore for a week” I winked at the slightly frightened teenager… he is still 16 in my eyes and always will be… he pouted but nodded. “Okay so the timer is for 1 hour, uncle said you have a schedule tomorrow so you better hurry up because you’ve got to wake up early” they nodded and as soon as I set the timer they entered angel mode… NOT FAIR… I sat down on the sofa next to a pile of leftover pizza… gross
“DONE!” Zelo shouted before shuffling weakly into the now tidy living room, he sat next to me and soon he was followed by Yongguk, Daehyun, Jongup and then Youngjae which meant that Himchan was in charge of lunch tomorrow. We all applauded as he walked in with an extremely unhappy face, the members went to bed as soon as they’d finished making fun of Himchan but I had no bed so I had to wait up until uncle came back… which was midnight exactly
“Yejin noona you have to come with us” Zelo shook me awake in the morning… WHAT TIME WAS IT? It was barely light outside, “it’s 6am and it’s the first power music video recording so we’ve got to go to our hair dresser and then we’ve got makeup and then our stylist…” I cut him off from his adorable, yet loud, talking
“Okay okay okay okay I get it, just let me get dressed” I pushed him out of the completely empty room and sighed… why do I have to come long? I got dressed and brushed my straight hair once before following the members lazily into the car.
“How are my dashing boys?” the hairdresser yelled with glee, the boys smiled as she hugged them one at a time, she was quite an old lady but she looked incredible with black hair tied back into a gray streaked bun. She was dressed in white trousers and a red silk blouse. “Oh and I see we have a guest?” she looked at me curiously, I pulled on my bangs and bowed, trying to conceal my still sleepy face.
“This is Yejin, my girlfriend, she’s staying in our dorm because her parents kicked her out” Daehyun put a arm around my waist proudly, but I kept my head down and pulled on my long bangs
“Well she has beautiful hair, now let’s see if she has an equally beautiful face?” she looked under my hand and gasped. “OMO Daehyun you’ve bagged a rare one” she grabbed my hands and pulled me into the shop
“D…DAEHYUN” I shouted but she’d already got me sat down
“We can’t have a beautiful girl, not to mention an idol’s girlfriend, looking like a homeless person. Don’t worry I’m not going to cut a lot off, I love the length but you need these horrible split ends cut out” and then she turned silent as she cut and styled my hair. “Okay done, but I don’t want you to look at yourself until you’ve have your makeup and clothing done” and without another word I was pushed back into the main shop where 6 strange looking boys were waiting for me… they… look so… different…
“Wow your hair looks beautiful” Himchan ran over… his hair now black and cut short, it was spiked up… it’s going to take some getting used to but any haircut would look great on him
“I agree” Jongup and Zelo walked over, Jongup’s now a light brown styled like it was in Warrior but Zelo… his hair was bright pink but was wavy… HE LOOKED ADORABLE. Then the others walked over. Yongguk had purple hair with a black fringe and Daehyun’s hair was a sort of cream colour… but Youngjae’s hair… it looked amazing, still purple but it was shaved at one side and styled awesomely on the other… he looked like a pineapple
“My baby always look beautiful” Daehyun smirked and kissed my forehead, I blushed and flattened my bangs back again. “But your hair looks especially nice” he complimented me like the others and then we set off for make up, and finally the stylist… it was all too much to be honest but I was glad when we finally got to the filming set… well I was before I saw all the paparazzi
“B.A.P B.A.P B.A.P WHO’S THIS GIRL?” “WHAT’S HER NAME?” “YOUR FILMING YOUR NEW MUSIC VIDEO RIGHT?” “WOULD YOU CARE FOR AN INTERVIEW PLEASE?” “IS SHE FAMILY?” “IS SHE YOUR GIRLFRIEND?” “ARE YOU DATING?” they all shouted at once, Daehyun and he other members stopped in front of them
“This is Cho Yejin, and yes me and her are dating” Daehyun said confidently putting a hand on my lower back, the camera’s flashed at me hurting me eyes, Daehyun held me closer to him so the camera’s couldn’t capture me.
“Can we see a kiss?” one of the reporters asked, Daehyun looked down at me before sighing, he took my face in his hands and kissed me in front of the cameras… WHAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTT????????????
