Chapter III

Just Being Lucky

At Wednesday, En told me to come to her office and discuss about the events with all the staff. I don’t need to involve or to give my comments about the management, but I still need to know everything about this events. I’ll be beside Infinite and their staff every time, started when they arrive in Friday, up until they leave on Monday morning. The events will be hold at Saturday, and they will spend a day to exploring Jakarta (capital city of Indonesia) and around Jakarta. My job is to make sure I tell them everything they asking for and help them to communicate with other Indonesian staff.

Thankfully I am not the only translator. The agency hires more than 10 translators but none of them know about KPOP and Infinite well, so that’s why they hire me. The other translator will accommodate the communication for the staff, cordi, and all, while I’ll be handling Infinite members and their managers. Woollim entertainments also bring their own translator who can speak in English very well, and I’ll be working with this person the whole time.

I just hope everything will be okay, and I am not do some stupid mistakes.

It’s Friday morning already. I am wake up at 5 AM because Infinite will landed at 10AM. I need to be there at the Airport at 9AM. It takes about 1,5 hours from my house to the airport so I need to go at least at 7.30AM. Things got complicated because I need to go to the hotel where we will stay until Monday to drop my Car first, so I need to go at 7AM.

I make sure I bring everything I need beside a little suitcase full of my clothes and make up (still a girl after all). And one thing, I have to keep my mind on its place since I am nervous to death.

I always saw Infinite on stage, or on variety show, drama, concert, and else. I never saw or interacting with them as human to human, person to person, talking directly, with them look into my face, my eyes, directly. No. Never, ever.

I have this little disease; I can’t act normally around people who I adore. Idol. I went to watch some music show and ended up in the front row, whenever the idol look at me, or to my area, I will keep silent, not move even an inch, become a statue, a rock. Silent. Can’t breath normally, nervous to death. Its only because I am to afraid, what if they remember me? What if they mocking me? What if they are judging me? What if they think I am crazy and anything.

I keep worrying one thing right now, what if Infinite remembers me? I am attending their entire concert and also fan meeting, ended up in the first row of some music show, I am quite sure the saw me couple time. But who knows, since the saw a lot of people already, they might not remember me, or they remember me…

As soon as I arrive at airport, I meet the whole staff. En keep guiding me and tell me what to do. The translator team will be the first team along with the agency representative and LO to meet Infinite and their team.

We got the permission from airport to get into the ‘special gate’ and wait until their plane landing and prepare to greet them.

“En, what should I do? I am nervous to death!” I almost scream to En, but ended up whispering to her ear because I don’t want a whole team to hear that. I began to sweating and my stomach hurt. Nervous.

En glancing at me. “What? Why? Don’t tell me this is the first time you see them. I know you see them all the time, everywhere. Why still nervous? Everything will be okay Nia. Promise.”

Just after this small chat, Infinite manager comes after pass the immigration. The agency representative called me and introduce me to Him. He is a very nice and warm person, he surprise that I can talk in Korean really well. He also introduce me to their translator, Joohyeon. Joohyeon and I chat while waiting for Infinite member to walk through the immigration. He said that most of them are so tired because they rush here after their concert last night in Japan so they travel from Japan to Korea then from Korea to Indonesia, but He said Dongwoo and Sungyeol are still hyper until they landed.

He also asked me if I know the member name and face, I have no choice but tell him everything. About me and my Korean life, KPOP live, and about me become one of the Inspirit. So he said not to worry cause the member will be good when they know about me. He said since I know the member well so He doesn’t need to introduce them to me and only introduce me to them.

Then, one member by another comes up and walk straight to their manager. Sunggyu walk out first, he looks really tired but still manage to greet all Indonesian staff. He asked their manager when they will leave to the hotel because he wants to take a rest a bit. He is so cute, his eyes seems smaller (or always that small) because he is too sleepy. While Dongwoo comes out with his happy go lucky smile and bouncing everywhere, even bothering his hyung.

The others are comes out as well, until I trying hard to breath and grip En’s hand to make sure I am not fall to the ground. Hoya. He comes out alone not with the other member. This guy seems lonely in the real life, this sentence just pop out in my head. After all of them comes, staff told them to walk directly to the mini bus so they can go to their hotel as soon as they can.

“Nia, can you accompany them? Infinite and their manager will leaves first while the others will take care of their stuff. We need someone to keep the accompany and to make sure they are safe,” Sandy, one of the head staff, try to playing prank with me or what??

“Why me? Can at least En come with me??”

“Nope, En will take care of the other things, and why you? Because you the only one can communicate with them here. The other translator is not coming today, remember??” Yes I can’t remember anything Sandy, since my idol is right here in front of me..

“You’d better hurry, you don’t want your so called idol to be angry and piss off right? Since they seems really tired. Just accompany them,” En trying to make me calm but no use.

I voluntary get in the mini bus and sit right behind the driver just to make sure the driver pick the right way. Or to avoid any contact with the member.
