Winter *

Our Winter Ballad

Opening my eyes, I looked in the mirror watching the makeup Noona as she was fixing things here and there, even threw a little glitter in the mix. Next to her stood the hairstylist as he played around with my newly dyed blonde hair trying to figure something out. Sighing I looked around them as my Manager was bustling in and out of the room along with hoobaes as they greeted me. Greeting them back I smiled before taking their debut and comeback CDs looking over the cover only to see the same things over and over again. Once they left I handed it to my manager as he took it throwing it into the pile with the rest of them, sighing I paid attention to myself once more to see that I was done already causing me to stand as I stretched looking over myself. I was wearing a cream colored tuxedo with a dark red tie to go with the white button up underneath it, and on my face was a pair of frameless glasses that made me look "smart".

Walking out of the room I made my way towards the big waiting room only to find more than a few idols in there, it was almost over flowing with them causing me to wonder if anybody went yet. Shaking my head, I leaned up against the wall looking at the TV to see one of the many groups that came to me earlier as they were performing, and honestly it was more than good. Sometimes I wish that I can do a pop song but then again all I hear is that I'm only good for ballads and a pop song wouldn't go well with my voice unless I had a featuring. But if Lim Changjung sunbaenim can do it, why can't I? Sighing more to myself than anyone else I turned my head only to see that someone had been talking to me the whole time which meant that they were probably expecting something from me.

"Huh?" They looked surprised that I had actually answered causing me to uncross my arms to get a good look at them.

"Sorry to interrupt but you were called for Standby." Nodding my head, I left the room as quietly as I had come and when I was finally out in the hallway I felt that I could finally breathe.

Walking with fast but slow steps I danced around staff and others as I got closer and closer to the stage, and when I finally arrived it was nothing fancy. Honestly it wasn't as if it was my comeback or goodbye stage but they should have at least put more thought into it. Rubbing my temples, lightly, I stood on the side line taking a mic in one hand as I used my other to fix my ear piece and sound box. When I was finally satisfied with how my voice sounded in my ear I cleared my throat making sure I wasn't clogged up because it was bad to start on the wrong note, well for a solo it was.

"Now performing for 100 songs, at song number 10, Seo Eunkwang singing Lim Changjung's 'A Glass of Soju'."

As the MC called me I walked onto the stage as the sound of cheers filled my ears and I couldn’t help but smile, because this is everything I have worked so hard for. This is what I sacrificed my Teenage years for. Bowing I said hello to everyone as I reintroduced myself before I took my spot on center stage causing the lights to dim. As the melody began to play as everything about the song entered my body, I began singing as the perfect tone left my mouth along with the words.

Even though I was only on stage for at least 4 minutes it felt like I was standing there for 40. When I finished singing I bowed once more before exiting the stage. Letting out a relieved sigh I smiled as my hoobaes walked passed me as they said that I did a great job. Thanking them I all but ran to my dressing room ready to go home seeing as how this was my only schedule for today. Bursting through the door I began stripping as my Manager was telling me that he would be taking the CDs and bags to the car and I could only nod. After he left I finally got back in my regular clothes and the feeling of comfort washed over me as I was finally able to relax. Not like I didn’t like the stage outfits but I preferred my t-shirts and sweatpants.

“Everyone have nice day. I’m leaving.” As everyone left in the room said goodbye I finally went out the door.

Putting on my snapback I walked out of MBC as I saw all the fans from every fandom standing outside causing me to sigh. My phone started going off causing me to pull it out as I started walking blocking out the sounds of everything around me. Looking at the messages it was only Changsub as he was bugging me about hanging out this weekend. Sighing I wondered how I found the patience to stick by his side and even though I was always one to decline, maybe this- oh ! I tripped over something causing my phone to fly out of my hands and as I went crashing towards the ground I felt hands as he caught me. Taking a deep breath, I almost saw my life flash before my eyes and it wasn’t even the best. Opening my eyes, which I didn’t even know I closed, I came face to face with an unfamiliar face but then again I can say that about almost anybody.

“Are you okay?” He asked with this gigantic smile on his face and for a moment I thought I had actually hit my head.

“Uh y-yeah thanks for catching me.” He smiled even harder as I began to wonder what was wrong with him.

“That’s good, but you took a pretty big trip and it was only over a fan’s lost thermostat. But it’s good that you are okay, it makes me happy.” Now this was getting strange.

I was about to ask what he meant when I was blinded by a strong flash causing me to look over at the many fans and their flashing cameras as they were getting every last minute of this. Standing quickly, I pushed him off of me as I straightening myself out before clearing my throat. Looking at the ground, I began looking for my phone not even worried about the guy who had just saved my life. Where the is it?! Feeling a tap on my shoulder I turned around as the same guy who had caught me was holding my phone in his hand with the same smile still on his face. Thanking him I took it only to see that the screen was cracked and I couldn’t help but throw a mental tantrum. Sighing, I heard my name being called and looking over my Manager was waiting for me in the van.

“Thanks for helping me once again. See you later, I guess; Bye.” That was so awkward but I got my point across.

Running towards the van I hopped in slamming the door closed behind me. He pulled off causing me finally flip out because I had just got this phone and it was already cracked, this is just my luck. Also on top of that my Manager wasn’t even worried about me a he just kept on driving and I couldn’t help but my teeth at today’s inconveniences.

“How far away from a Cellphone shop are we?” I asked finally causing him to pop back into the real world.

“Ummm…not that far, it should be one in a mile or two. Why?” Clueless!

“Well if you didn’t know, I almost cracked my face open in front of a whole crowd from other fandoms; then to top it off on the way down my phone flew out of my hand, so I need a new one.”

“Are you okay?! Why didn’t you say anything?!” He began looking around as if I was bleeding or something but I was only focused on the road in front of us, which he wasn’t looking at.

“EYES ON THE ROAD! And yeah, I’m fine some random guy saved me and he picked up my phone. So can we just go because I can’t even see anything properly.” With a nod and his eyes back on the road I leaned back into the seat.

My phone was blowing up but since it was cracked so bad I just left it alone and would worry about it again in a few minutes. When we pulled up to the store I jumped out along with my Manager as he locked up the car before following behind me as we entered. Once inside there was only a few people inside which meant no lines. Heading straight towards the counter I placed my phone down as I waited for someone to come and help me.

“Sorry for the wait. What can I help you with?” I was kind of surprised by the voice suddenly in my ear but as I turned to look at him I noticed that he was probably the only person working today.

“So I just got this phone, and I kind of dropped it, so I was wondering if I could get the exact same phone and a phone case.” He nodded as he picked up my phone as he began looking over it.

“Sure, no problem. Can I get a name and phone number?”

“Seo Eunkwang. 019-756-9812.” He began typing everything into the computer before his eyes got wide as he looked at me for a split second and I couldn’t help but feel as if something was wrong. “What? Is something wrong?”

“Y-Your…s-singer…” Cutting him off I put my hand over his mouth because he was attracting attention.

“Okay, I get what you are trying to say, so just don’t say it. Just get me my phone and case and I’ll give you an autograph and a picture, okay?” Nodding I removed my hand as he began running around and I just couldn’t help but sigh.

Hearing laughter I turned to look at my Manager as he was trying so hard not to be loud. Elbowing him he coughed trying to cover it up and as soon as he was finished with his little fit the guy came back with everything. As he set it down I asked if he could transfer everything off of this phone onto the new one and without even saying anything he began working on it. He must be a diehard fan or something because he’s just saying yes to everything that is coming out of my mouth. When everything was done and final I asked if he wanted to do it now and he all but jumped over the counter as he pulled out his phone as he began taking pictures causing me to laugh because this guy is crazy. Signing something for him I told him that I would be back if something happened with my new phone and with that I left and got back in the van.

“You want to go home or back to the company because you have to start working on your comeback?” As he drove I just took a deep breath because I really wanted to go home, but then at the same time…nope I’m going home to sleep.

“Just take me home. I’ll go to the studio tomorrow.” The car fell silent as my decision was made.

Which reminds me, I still haven’t replied back to Changsub and then I have to see what’s going on with all these notifications. Grabbing my phone, I began going through the contact list until I came to his name as I texted him back telling him that I wouldn’t be able to hang out tonight. And to my surprise he responded back rather quickly, but not with a text, it was a phone call. Answering it I said hello only to have him start screaming words I couldn’t understand into my ear.

“WAIT! Now can you please slow down and repeat everything you just yelled.” He took a few deep breaths before his breathing was back too normal as he was finally speaking coherent words.

“I said, who is this guy that you are all over the internet with? Because it is all over with the question of is this your new man or some like that. So I was calling so I could get the scoop from you because it seems as if he is already telling his side of the story.” My eyes almost feel out of my head because what side is he talking about?

“Huh? I don’t know what you are talking about, but when I find out I’ll call you back, okay?” As he said okay I hung up as I began searching all over the internet for what he was talking about and it seemed to be the hottest and most searched thing.

Whose Eunkwang's New Man?’ and other things along that line causing me to scoff because what is going on? I even got a tweet saying that I was going to be on CEY in like 30 minutes.

“Can you drive faster?” I just needed to see what was going on.

“Why? Plus, we’re stopped at a red light.” He is so annoying.

“JUST ING STEP ON IT! IF YOU GET A TICKET I’LL PAY FOR IT!” He sighed before stepping on the gas as he began going down a bunch of side streets causing me to hold onto my seat.

It only took 10 minutes before we arrived causing me to hop out as I ran inside not really caring what he did. Going up the stairs I ran all the way to the top floor causing me to gasp for air when I reached my floor. Opening the door, I walked fast down the hall and once I came to my door I quickly punched in the number. Yanking the door open I dropped everything as I the TV.

“Next up on CEY, the questions surrounded the Ballad singer Eunkwang and this new development. We will be back after the commercial break.” Running my hands through my hair I flopped down on the couch as I waited for the commercial break to be over.

When it had finally ended I sat up as the MC for this section was none other than an old colleague, Lee Minhyuk. He stood with a huge smile on his face as if he had just won the lottery causing me to face palm a little bit.

“Welcome back to Celebrity Entertainment for You. I am your host for this segment, Lee Minhyuk. Tonight’s trending topic is focused around the Winter Ballad singer Seo Eunkwang and a possible new connection. A few hours ago he was seen outside of MBC being held by an up and coming rapper that goes by the name of King J. As photos were flooding in we happen to see a very intimate interaction between the two as shown here.” A photo popped up on the screen as he was smiling at me and I was nodding, and I can clearly remember that was when I got freaked out by him. “Nothing is confirmed as of yet but the rapper had been tweeting as of lately asking the question… ‘Should I make his frozen heart melt?’ and ‘Is that Prince Charming’s Cinderella?’. And as he tweets this the ballad singer hasn’t said anything but a photo of him laughing with one of his fans was posted only a few minutes after the ordeal took place.”

The picture popped up on the screen and for some reason I looked so happy in that picture. Shaking my head, I watched as they tried to break the picture apart as if it would speak for me. Once the picture was gone there was a few comments from the other hosts of the show as they were all saying that this would be a great thing, and I just couldn’t understand why it would be.

“Thanks guys. But along that line it has been a year and a half since Eunkwang broke up with his boyfriend of 3 years, the leader of the famous duo JJ Project, JB. After their breakup JB went onto date fellow member Jr., and since then Eunkwang hasn’t made much appearances on music broadcasts and even removed himself from the entertainment variety show, Weekly Idol. If things go well can this King of the Jungle melt the Ballad Prince's heart?” What a load of bull!

Turning off the TV I slammed down the remote causing the table to move a little bit. I don’t even know this guy’s name and he I’d ready on my bad side. Sighing I looked at the door to see my Manager struggling to get through the door causing me to laugh as I stood up to go help him. Grabbing a few bags, he walked in with ease as he sat everything down where I once was sitting. Taking the few bags I sat them on the table before an idea popped into my head.

“Hey, can you do something for me?” He was all winded and out of breath as he shook his head no causing me to mentally roll my eyes. “Please! This is the last thing I’ll ask of you for this week!”

“We only have tomorrow and then the new week starts! But fine what do you want?” Smiling I knew that I always had this victory in this type of stuff.

“Find me all the information you can about this King J guy.”
