"Seollin ah?" Daeun frantically gestures to Seollin as she stands at the entrance of HIGHLIGHT's waiting room for KBS MUSIC BANK (2017 HALF YEAR SPECIAL). HIGHLIGHT is arranged to be the final performing group for the performance today. Rehearsals are going on for other junior groups, it is a big event for the staff of KBS as well as the staff from the various entertainment companies. Seollin looks at Daeun with a curious look as she walks quickly over.

 

Seollin's eyes widen as Daeun whispers to her what has happened. "Really? What about this area? Any instructions from the KBS management?" Apparently a bomb has been 'planted' in KBS  according to anonymous caller, threatening to hurt Apink. This is not the first time the girl group has received bomb threats. "I haven't heard anything from PDnim yet. But when I walked to the lobby, there are some KBS staff around that area, blocking us from going downstairs. I think the police is in the building, the caller mentioned that it is near Apink designated area so the fans who have arrived early, are being evacuated." Daeun looks at the HIGHLIGHT members who are busy being styled by the other junior stylists and coordinators.

 

"Do you think we should tell the rest? I don't want to make them worried, it will only distract the team." Daeun glances around the room and makes eye contact with Dongwoon who smiled and waved at her. "Daeun Noona, I didn't see you the entire morning. Is something wrong? Noona looks very worried now." He notices the weird atmosphere between the girls and guesses something is definitely not right. Daeun tiptoes slightly while he leans down to listen to what she is trying to tell him. He frowns slightly and nods as he listens.

 

Dongwoon flips out his phone and texts to Naeun (Apink) to check how the girls are doing. It has been a difficult time for the girls and their parents with all these crazy threats recently. "Naeun says the girls and their company staff are staying in the room to be safe. KBS staff has instructed to do so, while the police and the management of KBS are sorting it out. I think they are trying to trace where the call has been made. There are also police officers and their dogs downstairs at the cornered-off area. They should be done with the search of the alleged 'bomb' soon." Dongwoon reads the reply from Naeun to Daeun and Seollin who heave sighs of relief.

 

"What's up?" Yoseob has been observing Seollin as she bites her lips in concern after Daeun whispered to her. He knows very well that something bad must have happened and the girls are keeping it to themselves. "Seobbie ah, I need to talk to PDnim for awhile. I'll go with Daeun, you guys stay here till I come back ok?" She gives his hand a tight squeeze before turning to leave the waiting room.

 

Yoseob grabs her hand to stop her. "I'll go with you too." His firm tone makes her stop for a moment and look at Daeun as if trying to ask Daeun with her eyes whether they should bring Yoseob with them or not. Daeun smiles slightly and nods. "It's ok Seollin ah, Yoseob can go with us." On the way to PDnim's office, the girls fill Yoseob in with the details while Dongwoon tags along behind them.

 

At PDnim's office...

"Is everything alright now? We have some staff who have to go some stuff from our company vans but they are stopped by the police officers on duty. Is it possible for them to head down now?" Seollin asks PDnim who seems stressed out by the sudden change in events. "No worries Seollin-ssi, I have just received instructions from the management that the police has cleared the area. The threat is fake, the area is safe. They will continue to have some officers on-duty to ensure that the performance will go on live as per schedule. The fans who have been evacuated, are all back in the studio. All these crazy fans..seriously..." He shakes his head and gives them a weak smile. 

 

Seollin smiles and bows slightly as they left the room. "Ok~ Everything is fine now~ 얼굴 찌푸리지 말아요~" Dongwoon the usual sweet maknae tries to cheer his hyung and noonas up as they walk back to the waiting room. "Yah! Where did you guys go? I just saw the news about the bomb threat downstairs." Kikwang showed them his handphone with the article which has been uploaded few minutes ago when the four of the
