Blind
Blind" Girls Day Minah imnida!"
I watched with envy as the short girl with shoulder length back hair went around giving hi-fives to the 6 men in the room. She then turned to smile at me, I eyesmiled in return and went back to smirking.
" Noona whats wrong with you today ?" the maknae Hyuk asked in concern.
" Ani...im fine Hyuk-ah " I said ruffling his hair.
He then went back to join the other members who were entertaining Minah. Boys...really.
Seo Minhee imnida im 22 years old and I work as the coordinator for the Jellyfish Ent. artists *cough*VIXX*cough*. I was in charge of pretty much EVERYTHING right from blocking their spots in broadcast stations to deciding the colour of their outfits I was pretty much EVERYWHERE, except for their dorm of course. I got along pretty well with all the members except for one. Call me a pedo if you want, its Ravi (screams). I honestly dont know what got me so attracted to him in the first place,(considering the fact that he was younger by 2 years) maybe because he was charismatic, maybe because of his smile or his laugh or maybe his...ah I don't know.Normally it would be just the 7 of us during recordings but this time we had Minah with us so all the attention was diverted towards her.
In the midst of my jealous thought I heard a high pitched voice ring through the room.
" Unnie! Your so tall!!".
I looked up to see 7 pairs of eyes on me.
" Ah...I'm not that tall Minah-shi " I said nervously.
" How tall are you?" She asked.
" 178cm " I answered.
" Uwwaaaaah!!! wish I was that tall!! " she said pouting.
" Short girls are cute " Ravi spoke up.
" Yah! Stop that! " Minah said giving him a light smack as the two shared a laugh.
The half smile I held on my face disappeared once I saw this scene play before me. I looked her up and down, she was perfect I couldn't think of a reason why they wouldn't like her. I then looked at my reflection in the glass door and sighed, I'd forgotten to wear lip balm today and my long wavy black hair was in a ponytail,plus my glasses and clothes weren't helping my sorry appearance either. I looked around the waiting room we were in and noticed the two main vocals were missing. I then made my way towards the recording room and opened the door to see Taekwoon and Ken warming up.
" Yah! Can't we see we're busy?!" Ken yelled in his ahjumma voice. I neck sliced in the air while he pretended to be affected by it.
" I'll do what I want mister!!" I said laughing and turned to Taekwoon who held his signature expressionless face.
" Well I don't really think I need to say this but HWAITING!!" I said. Taekwoon nodded in response while Ken gave me a thumbs up. The two of them completed their recording with no errors and left the recording room with me.
It was finally Minahs turn. She sang with such a beautiful voice that it left the members mesmerized. Once she came out the members clapped for her. Wish I got that much attention... pfft. After almost 2 hours of entertaining the female idol it was finally time for us to go back to our normal routine.
" Vixx annyeong!! Hwaiting!! " Minah said waving to the members and giving me a smile before leaving. I smiled and waved as she left the studio and turned to the members who were yawning.
" Minhee-ah we're tired now can we go back to the dorm and sleep?" N asked.
I blinked in confusion " We have to be at the broadcast station in an hour " I said waving the schedule sheet in his face.
" Ah....WAE?!! " N grumbled.
" Ok guys go get your costumes,props and hair ready okay?. We'll finish up your makeup at the station this time because we wouldn't wanna see a hyde with messy makeup right?" I asked as the others laughed.
" You'll join us right noona?" Hongbin asked.
" Neh I'll meet you guys there " I said waving goodbye to them as they went towards the dressing room.
I then went back to the waiting room to gett my notepad and was in for a rude shock when I saw it strewn with pizza containers.
" When the heck did they order pizza?! Yah!! Jaehwan!!" I yelled in frustation and rubbed my head.
" Better clean this up before the CEO arrives.." I said to myself picking up the pizza boxes.
I picked up all the pizza boxes and stuffed them in a plastic bag and threw it in the dustbin outside the waiting room. I puffed up my chest in satisfaction, " Ah! My notepad! " I said to myself going back into the waiting room. As soon as I entered the waiting room I was in for another rude shock.
" TAEKWOON!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?! " I yelled just as he picked up his headphones from the table.
He was dressed in his black hyde stage outfit complete with hair extensions.
" Your supposed to be at the broadcast station what are you doing here?" I asked and rubbed my head sighing. No point in getting mad we'll just be wasting time.
" Where are the others?" I asked.
" They've left " he said.
" Your coming with me " I said dragging him by the arm towards the carpark. Luckily most of the staff members had left earlier so the chances of us getting caught by the CEO were less.
" Music Bank station ppali!!" I told the driver once we got into the car.
I was still really mad at Taekwoon for staying back, I turned to him with a look of anger on my face.
" Yah!" I yelled. He turned to look at me with the same blank expression.
" Didnt I tell you to go to the station before me? What the heck were you thinking staying back?! Why cant you be a little bit more responsible? Geez..." I said turning my face towards the window.
Taekwoon and I understood each other just fine. I knew he was a tough nut but I really didnt mind, I always acknowledged the fact that he was quiet and tried to keep up with him. Honestly he seemed surprised right now because he'd never seen me this mad before, I was just trying to do my job!. I then heard my phone ring and looked at the screen.
" Great its N oppa " I said glaring at him and clicking answer.
" Yobosaeyo?"
" Minhee-ah is Leo with you?" he asked.
" Neh...why didnt you guys take him with you?" I asked.
" Ani...Leo's hair extension took a long time to fix, so we told him to go with you.." he explained.
" Oh.." I said as I returned Taekwoons glare in embaressment.
" Mianhe Minhee-ah we didnt mean to cause any trouble.." N apologized.
" Its alright oppa. I'll bring him safely " I said as I looked at him in fear.
" Watch out for papparazi ok? Annyeong!!" he said as he ended the call.
I then turned to face Taekwoon in embaressment. He continued to give me the same expressionless face.
" Taekwoon I'm sorry " I said bowing my head.
" Its alright " he said in his soft voice.
" Theres a lot going through my mind now..." I said upset. I felt really bad, of all the people I could get mad at Leo's stylist,Ravi,the driver, MINAH, poor Taekwoon had to take the beating.
I then felt a tap land on my shoulder and I looked up to see him holding out a waterbottle to me.
" Komawo..." I said taking a sip.
He nodded in return. " Can I tell you something?" I asked, he nodded again.
I sighed " This is the first time im telling this to anyone...I like Ravi " I said.
His small eyes grew wide in surprise as he blinked twice.
" I know...I sound like a dont I?" I asked as I buried my head in my hands.
He shook his head.
" Honestly I really dont know why I even like him in the first place " I said as I drew circles on my palm.
The two of us shared an awkward moment of silence until he spoke up.
" Love doesnt really need a reason to happen ".
" Uwah...thats really deep Taekwoon" I said in awe. " But honestly I wouldnt call it love..moe like a crush actually ".
" I see " he said and went back to staring out of the window.
" Taekwoon... " I said as he turned to face me, I grinned " Thank you for listening " I said bowing again.
From the corner of my eye I saw him smirk. When Taekwoon smirks it literally translates into a smile, again one of my many observations.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
" Sorry we're late.." I said my apologies as I entered Vixxs dressing room.
" Finally! What took you guys so long?" Hongbin asked while he was getting his eye makeup done.
" Traffic...now get him ready!!" I yelled pushing him into the stylists arms, he turned around to glare at me. I apologized.
The boys then got their makeup done and added the finishing touches to their hair and costumes. They then nervously waited for their turn as they watched their sunbaes perform. I walked past Ravi on purpose and mustering up the courage I managed to say " Ravi-ah hwaiting!!". He turned grin at me , god was it lovely to see. " Noona hwaiting!" He said laughing as he earned a smack from me. " Eh? How come Ravi gets a hwaiting and not us?" N asked pouting.
" Ok them oppa hwaiting!!" I said.
" Noona what about me?" Hongbin asked showing me his dimples. " I want a hwaiting too!" Hyuk grumbled. " Kenjumma needs strength!!" Ken yelled.
" Yah!! You guys are annoying so ill give a hwaiting to Taekwoon " I turned to him " Taekwoon hwaiting!!" I said smiling.
He responded with a nod as the others started laughing.

" Just can't control " vixx sang as they finished their performance with no major errors. I clapped and hooted as the 6 of them entered the dressing room drenched in sweat. After the boys finished changing the 7 of us drove to the company building. No one talked much in car as they were busy doing their own thing Ravi was snoring loudly Ken, Hongbin and Hyuk were meddling with their phones, Leo was listening to music and N was busy taking selcas. We reached the company building I waved goodbye to the members as they made their way towards the practice room. I then went towards to CEOs office to grab a copy of their schedule for the next day as I looked through their schedule something caught my eye, written in bright red letters " Rehearsal for first anniversary party with Girls Day Minah? YAH!" I yelled as the CEO looked at me in confusion. " uh...excuse me" I said leaving the room.
I climbed up the stairs and came face to face with the glazed glass door,just before I could open the door I heard a voice call out.
"Minah noona is pretty isn't she?" Hyuk asked.
" I wonder how she maintains her skin" N said. Oh god N.
" Ravi ah was acting exceptionally flirty today " Ken remarked.
" I bet he likes her" Hongbin said laughing. I'm guessing Leo nodded after that.
" So answer our question do you find her pretty?" Hyuk asked.
I leaned a little closer " Well she's an idol so.." He said as the others .
" What about-" Taekwoon began to say, damn his soft voice! I couldn't hear a thing!.
" she's really pretty" he said and the others went " OMO!!"
I barged in " What? What happened?" I asked.
" Nona were you eavesdropping ?" Hongbin asked.
" Ani I heard you guys go 'omo' so I ran in " I said grinning.
" Here's your schedule for tomorrow " I said handingit to N.
" Minah-ya is coming for practice?" N asked. I nodded.
" Ravi hyungs wish came true~" Hyuk sang earning a smack from Ravi.
" So everyone do your best tomorrow ok? Lets make this anniversary party a success ok?" I said.
" YEAH!!!"

The next day....
" Vixx annyeonghaseyo!" Minah said as she entered the practice room in her white floral top and shorts. The boys as usual went and flocked around her like sheep. I sighed and looked at myself, I forgot to wear lipbalm AGAIN and my hair was tied back in a ponytail because it was so messy and yet again my clothes werent helping much either. Minah turned to wave to me as I stood at the snack table eating the food prepared for them. As I ate a granola bar I heard the light cracking of a pocky stick and turned to see Taekwoon beside me.
" Hello~ " I sang taking another bite " Shouldnt you be there?" I asked.
He shook his head chewing on the stick, he then turned to look at me " Are you ok?" he asked.
I looked at him confused " Of course im ok! What makesyou think-"
" Minah " he interrupted.
I looked away embaressed, I didnt stand a chance against Minah, it was painful to say but it was true.
" Im fine Taekwoon " I said biting the granola bar.
" Noona!" a voice called out and I turned to see Ravi coming towards me. I choked on my granola bar and coughed while Taekwoon patted my back. After coughing for a while I turned to Ravi.
" Yes Ravi-ah?" I asked.
He smiled, god stop doing that!.
" Um..N hyung said that if I ever had a problem I could approach either him or you, I actually have something going through my mind right now..." he said swallowing.
My eyes grew wide ' Could it be? Maybe he feels the same way!' I thought.
" Noona....I think I like Minah " he said.
My chest tightened as I stared at him in shock, I snapped out of my daze as I felt five fingers interlock with my right hand.
I smiled " Ravi ah that's great! " I said patting his back ' Minah sure is lucky '
" You see the thing is I'm worried about the fact that she's a sunbae. She'll probably reject me " he said.
" Ravi ah your a great guy im sure you'll look after her really well " I said smiling.
" Really? You mean it?" He asked excitedly. I nodded.
" Wow noona chincha daebak!" He said giving me a thumbs up.
" Go get her you" I said patting his shoulder.
He then ran towards where Minah was while I watched sadly, I then turned to look t my right hand now interlocked with five pale fingers. I looked up to see Taekwoon with a look of sympathy on his face.
" I'm fine Taekwoon " I said as two tears fell down my cheeks. His grip on my hand tightened I guess it was his way of saying " Don't worry it's gonna be okay" .
I smiled at him " This isnt the first time ive been rejected . Don't worry about me, I'll be fine. What you do need to worry about is the first anniversary party!" I said turning him around to face the others.
He looked back at me doubtfully and made his way towards the others. Just as he left a folded piece of paper fell out of his pocket, I bent down to pick it up I was about to call his name but I stopped when I saw my name written across the front.
" A letter for me? Humph must be from the CEO " I said putting it in my pocket.

Leo POV
" Noonas not coming today?" Hongbin asked our manager. I looked up from tying my shoelaces ' What? Maybe she's upset from yesterday ' I thought.
" She called in sick today flu apparently " He said scratching his head.
" Ah....I was hoping noona would let us play today " Hyuk mumbled.
" The first anniversary party is in two days we need to practice kid!!" The manager said.
I hope she's okay maybe I should make some soup or something. While the members were busy discussing the schedule I reached inside my pocket to take out my most prized possession my letter to Minhee. I wasn't good at expressing myself through action so I decided to put down my feelings in words. Honestly I myself didn't know why I liked her it just happened and with every passing day and hour I came to love her even more. I still remember the day we met like it was yesterday.
22nd May 2012
" Look at you! Your so ugly!!" The woman yelled at her reflection in the mirror. I was quite amused and continued to stare at her with a raised eyebrow ,maybe coming to practice early was a bad idea. She then looked closer as her eyes grew wide in surprise " I FORGOT TO WEAR LIPBALM TODAY!!! PABO!!PABO!! " she yelled. I let out a small chuckle causing her to turn around.
" I didn't see you there" she said smiling.
In my opinion she wasn't ugly at all,she had long wavy black hair upto her shoulders, pointed nose , big eyes and full lips not even the slightest bit ugly.
" Seo Minhee imnida I'm the new coordinator for Jellyfish Ent. Congrats on your debut!!" She said.
I nodded in return, normally people would smirk or turn away when I do that but she...she just smiled god was it beautiful to look at.
" Your that really quiet member they were telling me about um..."
I opened my mouth to say 'Leo' but she interrupted me by yelling " Taekwoon right?!"
