New Friends

It was the end of May and she had spent about a couple of weeks with the boys. They had their Asian tour coming up soon and surprisingly the manager had a ticket for Eunbyul as well. She was curious about the other countries in the East and was secretly overjoyed at the thought of going to Japan, Thailand, China, and all the other places. The boys were excited and nervous as they prepared themselves for the tour.She kept in contact with all the other celebrities as well. They would leave in about two weeks in preparation. Meanwhile Eunbyul helped alongside the hassled manager and began spending more time with her new acquaintances everytime she had a free day. Teen Top was awkward at first but Chunji broke the ice with a thank you. They were polite and shy as they went into her cafe one day. Eventually they grew more and more close, even causing her to crack a smile. They invited her to one of their performances and she agreed. Coincidently it was also the Inkigayo stage where Boyfriend would also debut.

Ukiss had a free day and was curious as Eunbyul came out of the bathroom changed into a pair of Denim shorts that revealed her long toned legs and a simple off shoulder white top that went perfectly with her creamy skin. Her hair was down to her mid back with a fedora on top. What was most surprising was that she wore no contacts at all, revealing her stunning blue eye. The boys Gaped at her attire, unused to the revealing skin. She usually wore baggy shirts or sweats.

" Woah. What's the occasion? And where are your contact?" AJ asked for the group while staring at her legs.

Eunbyul looked sheepish as she grabbed her arms and shifted at their stare.

" Hyoyeon unnie bought it for me. She wanted me to wear it to at least one of their performances, and Seohyun unnie made me promise to let her see my eyes without the lens. So why not kill two birds with one stone? Does it look weird because you guys are staring at me like I'm a zoo." she asked anxiously.

" NO..." they all said at once.

" it's just that you never wore anything that.... Erm.... You look nice." Kiseop stated.

Eunbyul thought bitterly to when Hyoyeon gave her a shopping bag with glee. Stating to show off her sexy legs or else. With a sigh she began to push on her black boots and left swiftly.

Soohyun had a look of worry." Should we go too? From the way she looks. She could get raped or something."

Dongho merely scoffed." As if. She could probably kill the rapist with a single kick. But I know what you mean Hyung..."

Eunbyul walked in long swift strides to the Mnet building. The shorts felt slightly refreshing as the hot sun shined brightly. People were staring indiscreetly at her as she walked, making her feel uncomfortable with the stab of their scrutiny. She showed her pass to the security guards and earned curious looks from the fans waiting in the line. Entering the building she made her way to the room number Teen Top was in as staff members stared at her mysterious and beautiful feline figure. She strode silently into the room and saw the boys getting finishing touches on their make up and clothes. Chunji turned around and gave a squeal of shock as he saw Eunbyul standing silently in front of him. The other members turned around to see the long legged and womanly figure standing calmly in front of them.

" Hey guys." she held up a hand in salutations and tilted her expressionless head.

" Noona!!!!" they all gathered around her immediately with smiles on their faces." You look.... Great" L. Joe stated lamely as he just stared at her.

They all stared at her eyes and their unique quality.

" Noona! What's in the bag?" Niel asked

She shuffled inside her shopping bag and brought out a container." I made some snacks for you guys. It's past lunch and I'm assuming you guys didn't eat?"

She always packed something for Ukiss as well. They all nodded and smiled at her kindness.

Suddenly a familiar head popped in." Yah?! Did I hear the mention of food?" a handsome head popped in. Teen Top recognized the man as Hyunseong from the debuting group, Boyfriend.

" Oh! Hi Hyung! You ready to debut?"He gave them a nervous grin and nodded his head.

Five more heads came into view, four of them Eunbyul recognized as Donghyun, Minwoo, and the Jo twins. The fifth was unknown to her. They all wore varsity jackets to match their concept. Minwoo suddenly recognized the beauty next to L. Joe as his noona.

" Ah! Eunbyul noona!" he trotted to her and smiled exuberantly. The Jo twins followed shortly. The boys all towered over her short stature but she didn't mind since She was beginning to get used to socializing with others.

She smiled softly at Minwoo, shifting her stoic mask." Hi boys!"

she handed him and the others another box inside her bag. " I've made extra for you guys too."

Minwoo gave her his signature eye smile and the Jo twins just stared at her new fashion in a daze while Donghyun just smiled gratefully. Hyunseung and Jeongmin got one much to their pleasant surprise. They felt a small envy towards the three for knowing a strikingly stunning woman. She had a curvy figure girls died for and a unique almost intimidating feline grace about her. Yet it was her eyes that captivated them, with their depth and hue. The dark of one eye seemed to enhance the blue gleam of the other eye.Teen Top felt uncomfortable as the other group stole her attention away.

Chunji suddenly beamed after talking with one of the staff. " Noona! I got you front row seats so you can watch us perform!" Youngmin got excited" You can watch our debut stage!"

Minwoo paled with anxiety and shuffled his feet. The other boys began talking excitedly with each other and Eunbyul noticed his nervousness. One worker came saying.

" Yah! Boyfriend your up in 5!"

Kwangmin and Youngmin began to fidget and quiet down. Eunbyul looked a them in concern as they began walking away.

She turned to L. Joe" I'll see you guys on stage. Good luck." she gave them a rare smile.

CAP blushed and avoided her piercing eyes. " thank you noona! We will make you proud!"

She left and hurried to where Boyfriend was huddling near the entrance to the stage. They put their hands together after Donghyun said some encouraging words. Suddenly a feminine hand went on top of Minwoo's sweaty ones. they all looked to see Eunbyul look assuringly at them. Minwoo smiled thankfully and the Jo twins sighed.

" FIGHTING!" they raised their hands into the air. The group began doing their own short warm ups as two minute time was near. Eunbyul noticed Minwoo shaking with a determined look on his face.

Making up her mind she went to him." Minwoo yah?" She had his attention and silently went and stretched onto her tip toes. She gently grabbed his head between her hands tilted him down gave him a small peck on the forehead before leaning it against hers and closing her eyes in a quick prayer. Minwoo merely let himself loose like a puppet in shock as she prayed 5 seconds. Her face was so close to his as she opened her eyes which captivated him more than ever.

She spoke softly with a stern voice." I believe in you. Don't let your noona down."

She stared into his dark amiable eyes and let him go, putting some distance between them. Confidence coursed through Minwoo as he reddened, his anxiety gone and filled with determination to meet her expectations. He gave her his signature smile and nodded. Youngmin and Kwangmin saw this transaction with envy but didn't say anything against it. Youngmin inhaled and exhaled as his eyes moistened. Eunbyul made up her mind and walked over to the two and stretched on her toes. Unfortunately they were even taller so she suddenly grabbed their necks and bent them down. They grinned at her action and bent their knees a bit before she gave them a kiss on the forehead and said a quick silent prayer. The time was up and the group was pumped, Eunbyul disappeared right when Minwoo turned around to face her one last time. She hurried through to the from row area where the camera men were. Some girls looked at her questioningly wondering who the model was.The MCs announced Boyfriend and they came and did their intro. Then they shifted to their debut song Boyfriend with a perfect performance. Youngmin spotted her and gave her his wink smile, causing people to scream at his charm. They began their adorable charming routine. Kwangmin's part came and her pretended to have hand gun and pointed at her, with a wink and shot. Eunbyul chuckled softly at their playfulness, she was happy that they were having fun with it. Minwoo's part came up as he rapped. In his last part he saw her and blew a small kiss before saluting lazily with his signature eye smile. Other people who noticed their gestures at her started to look at her figure closely. The few males started to notice her figure and some even began taking pictures with their devices, taking photos of the lady with long smooth toned thighs and graceful back curved as she folded her arms. Eunbyul was oblivious to the pictures as she focused on their outstanding performance. It was About to be Teen Tops turn soon, and she suddenly felt a presence sneak up behind her. She spun around immediately as Hyoyeon unnie pounced on her. Fighting off the urge to knock her senseless she froze as Seohyun, Taeyeon, and Yuri all came as well.

" Hmmm~ your legs look so sexy I just wanna stroke them." Hyoyeon said playfully earning a weird look from Eunbyul.

" Their too short"" Nonsense! They look fine~~~~"Before she could rebuttal, Teen Top was up.

******

Eunbyul went backstage to the room once more to say goodbye. The boys were eating the sandwiches she made with ravenous hunger. Niel and Chunji saw her standing there and smiled brightly.

" Thank you noona for coming!"

" thank you for inviting me here L. Joe."

" Yeah Hyung! Thank you for inviting noona here!" Chunji said with a sly tone.

L. Joe glared at Chunji who occupied himself with a sandwich. He smiled back at Eunbyul as the blood went to his cheeks uncharacteristically. She went to the Boyfriend's waiting room to find Minwoo waiting patiently for her near the door.

She went in unnoticed and spoke." Well done today guys."

The men jumped and Donghyun managed a shriek as they turned towards her voice. Youngmin jumped and hid behind Kwangmin much to her amusement.

" Thank you noona!" Minwoo said joyously.

" For what?" she asked confused by the sudden thanks. All she did was watch them.

" For believing in me when I didn't." Minwoo leaned down and gave her a quick and innocent kiss on her smooth cheek.

The other members gaped at his bold move while Eunbyul's eyes merely widened in surprise but she smiled at him. She said her goodbye and walked off. When she left the boys immediately Oohed Minwoo and wrapped their arms around him while he just sheepishly smiled with a pink face.

*****

Eunbyul was pondering at what a kiss on the cheek meant. Her parents only kissed her on the forehead to show their affection as they held her. A rare handful of times she saw her mother kiss her father on the cheek but she thought nothing of it. She avoided bumping a man with red hair when the man suddenly grabbed her arm. She panicked and in defense she grabbed his arm and nearly retched it from his sockets before slamming him into the wall. The man immediately gasped in pain before his cheek was presses harshly against the wall. Realizing he was harmless she immediately released him. He looked familiar but she brushed away the thought as he grimaced and rotated his shoulder win a pained expression. Hyunseung nearly doubled over when she almost popped his arm from the sockets, totally taken off guard by her reactions. He just stared at her, absorbing her features, exuberant that they were able to meet again.

She had the look of a curious cat as she allowed him to recover." um... Ow..." he simply said awkward with the whole ordeal.

" I'm sorry." she said lamely. She felt guilty for nearly destroying his entire career by messing his shoulder.

Hyunseung just smiled and shook his head. " Oh it's fine... Didn't even hurt one bit." a total lie. His eyes were watering from the pain but it didn't seem permanent. " Are you a trainee? You seem new?"

Eunbyul bit her lip, unconvinced. " I'm a..... A.... Bodyguard... Assistant manager.."

Hyunseung raised an eyebrow at her response." For who?"

" Ukiss"" Oh!! Have you heard of Beast?"Eunbyul didn't see how the question was of any relevance.

" Like an animal? That is a bit cryptic. There are a lot of beasts"

Hyunseung laughed to hide his disappointment." No.. I'm from another group-"

" HYUUUNG!!" a adorable boy resembling a pekinese puppy came punching behind Hyunseung with his smooth rust colored hair.

He wore the same dark concept that the other man was wearing." Ah... Um Yoseob this is...."

" Lee Eunbyul." Eunbyul stared at the cute boy with amusement.

" Miss Eunbyul this is Yoseob. I'm Hyunseung and we are from..."

" SO BEAST!!!!!" Yoseob cried.

He looked a bit closer at the girl and his eyes shined at her attractive features.

I think my heart has been taken from IU noona to this lady...

He thought blissfully. He stared curiously into her off color eye pair.

" It's a genetic thing." Eunbyul noticed his stare and sighed.

" Beast! Your up!" a staff member yelled.

" Well that's our cue! See you later pretty noona!" Yoseob winked.

Hyunseung just stood there awkward and massaged his shoulder. Eunbyul handed him her phone causing him to flinch.

He took it in confusion and she simply responded." in case the shoulder injury is permanent and you have to go through some sort of treatment. Please call me so I can pay for it."

She didn't know how hard she twisted it at that time but she didn't want to take any chances. Hyunseung nodded in understanding but secretly whooped inside at the thought of exchanging numbers. After exchanging he walked away with a bump in his steps.Yoseob was telling the others of the goddess in the hall with Hyunseung as he came in.

" Yah!? Is she still there?" Dongwon asked hopefully. Hyunseung just smirked and shook his head as he hummed a tune. Dongwon groaned and Junhyung gave him a suspicious look.

" You got her number didn't you..."

".....um..." before they could force the interrogation, a man with headsets came.

" Times up! let's hustle guys!"

Phew... Saved by the bell.
