"Bommie~" Bom awoke from Dara's voice. She slowly rubbed her eyes. She felt herself lying down on an uncomfortable mattress. She blinked twice. All she saw were white walls.

"Where am I?" Bom mumbled as she rubbed her eyes again. "Oh, that's right… we were on stage and then I.. then I.."

"Park Bom-ah, are you feeling okay now?" a voice from behind her spoke. Bom turned and saw Ms. Kang with a glass of water. She handed it to Bom.

"Ah..ne." Bom nodded and took a sip of water.

"Aigo, Bom, you just fainted a while ago." Dara said.

"It's probably from high levels of stress or from shock." Ms. Kang said with a concerned look on her face. "Don't stress yourself out too much, arasseo?"

"Ne, seonsangnim." Bom said awkwardly.

"Park Bom-ah, this might sound weird, but you can stop calling me formally." Ms. Kang said and sat next to Dara on the bed beside Bom. "You're all friends of Ji Yong, right?"

"Ne.." Bom nodded.

"I'm remarrying his father in a few months," Ms. Kang said with a smile. "But I'm too young to be called ahjumma don't you think?"

Dara and Bom giggled and Ms. Kang flashed a friendly and warm smile.

"So, why not call me 'unni'?"

"Unni.." Bom and Dara said in unison.

Ms. Kang got up and turned to face Bom. "Bom-ah, I'm going to be Ji Yong's stepmom, but he's growing too fast now. I won't keep an eye out for him. So take care of him, arasseo?" she said with a smile and returned to her desk.

"Take care of Ji Yong?" Bom repeated in her mind. She suddenly remembered what Ji Yong said on stage "She's my girlfriend." Bom blushed and hid her face in her hands. Dara noticed her bestfriend and gave her a nudge.

"Omo, look at your face Bommie~" Dara exclaimed.

Seunghyun watched Ji Yong and the two men from a distance. He was very suspicious of them specially since they requested to talk to Ji Yong alone. With the girl's drinks in hand, he pretended to look for them but hid behind a bush instead. He kept distance and can still watch them but they were out of his earshot. Seunghyun watched as one of the men handed something that looked like a business card to Ji Yong.

"Kwon Ji Yong-ssi, please do visit our office anytime soon."

"We look forward in meeting you there, and we hope to work with you in the near future." They exchanged bows and quickly left. When they were out of sight, Seunghyun slowly approached Ji Yong.

"Oh, did you find the girls?" Ji Yong said and quickly hid the card in his pocket.

"What did they want?" Seunghuyn asked and ignored Ji Yong's question.

"Ahh, they were just asking for directions~" Ji Yong said with a sheepish smile.

"Aish, I already know what they want." Seunghyun answered and gave him a little playful slap on the back. "It's written all over your face."

"Aigo, am I that too easy to read?" Ji Yong pouted. His hand travelled down to his pocket to reach the white plastic business card.

"Ji Yong, just follow your dreams. Do what your heart tells you to do."

"Ohh, Seunghyun~ you still haven't answered my question! About what you said on stage…"

The two walked back to the stage and looked left and right for the girls. But they couldn't find them. Ji Yong cleared his throat and waited for Seunghyun's answer.

"You little monkey, what I said was just a joke." Seunghyun finally answered with a smile. "Don't think too much.. I just wanted to liven up the stage."

Ji Yong looked at Seunghyun's face and studied his face carefully. Opposite to Ji Yong, Seunghyun is sometimes hard to read and Ji Yong couldn't tell if he was lying or not. He heaved a sigh. Suddenly their phones buzzed at the same time.

Mianhe, Ji Yong-ah and Seunghyun-ah. Bom wasn't feeling well so we had to leave early. Pls don't worry about us and enjoy the rest of the festival. Also, thank you for making our first showcase a success. NOLZA hwaiting♪! ヘ(^_^ヘ)(ノ^_^)ノ

"Oh, it's from Dara.." Seunghyun said as he read the message. Ji Yong peered over Seunghyun's shoulder.

"I got the same message too…" Ji Yong said. "I wonder what's wrong with Bom?"

Seunghyun looked at Ji Yong then to his hand that was holding the business card. He took it from Ji Yong's hand and looked at the logo. "Dara said not to worry, arasseo? Hmm, YG Entertainment, huh?"

Bom lied down for the rest of the day. Dara left her at her house after reassuring that she was fine. Her mom checked up on her but Bom pretended to be asleep. She buried her face to her pillow. "Aigoo, all this thinking is making me go crazy," she thought and felt her face blushing. She got up and saw it was nighttime already. Bom sighed. She was still in her uniform. She changed to a comfortable tank top and pink pajamas. She slowly went to the bathroom to take off her make up. There was a knock on the bathroom door.

"Bom, is that you in there?"

"Umma, I'll be out soon." Bom replied to the door. After washing up, she went out and saw her mother staing at her intently.

"Umma…"

"Bommie, did something happen at school today?" her mother cut her off.

"Aniyo, umma, I was just feeling a little dizzy at school so I went home early." Bom said with a shake of her head.

"Aigo, I know that kind of face. It's about boys, right?" her mother said with a smile.

"Umma. aniyo!" Bom felt her face blush again. "Omo, how many times have I blushed today?"

"Are things not going well with Seunghyun-ssi?"

"Umma, he's just my friend…" mumbled and then pouted.

"Ahh, but do you know how he feels about you?" her mom with a wiggle of her eyebrows.

"Aish, ummaaaa, we're just friends." Bom repeated. She felt her face burning in embarasment. She remembered what Seunghyun said up on the stage. "She's also my one sided love. We're actually in a love triangle."

"Arasseo, arasseo." her mom nodded with a sneaky smile and went downstairs. "Are you coming down for dinner?"

"Umma, I'm not hungry…"

"Aish, but I'll leave food for you if ever you get hungry, okay?"

"Ne~" Bom answered and went back to her room. She saw her phone flashing: one unread message.

Park Bom-ah, are you feeling okay now? ~(=^・・^) ヾ(^^ ) I'm worried about you.

"O, it's Ji Yong." Bom mumbled. "I'm feeling okay now, gomawo. ( ´ ▽ ` )."

Are you free now?

"Eh, I guess so…"

Come down~ （＾＿－）☆ I'm outside your house. Let's talk~

"Aigo, this sneaky monkey." Bom muttered and looked out her window. She took off her pajamas and changed to a denim shorts.

"I'll be down in a while."

Okay (>ω<＊)

Bom slowly opened her door. She tiptoed down the stairs and looked left and right. "The coast is clear." she thought and made her way to the door.

"Park Bom, where are you going?" her mother sharply asked before Bom could even turn the door knob.

"Ah, umma…I'll just, um, go out and buy some, um, corn." Bom lied with a smile. Her heart started to pound fast. Her mom saw right through her lie.

"Aish, just don't stay out late, okay?" she said and Bom went out as fast as she could. "Aigo, that girl is falling in love, isn't she?" her mother thought as the door slammed shut.

I'm back yay~ enjoy reading and comment and subscribe if you liked it! ＼（＾∀＾）メ（＾∀＾）ノprops to jiebom, deijuvenile, kwonarra, and veesaur for guessing right. HAHAHA, was it too obvious?

I actually forgot my notebook at school where I right my draft... I wrote 3 chapters of I Found Your Cat and 1 chapter of My Addiction. Good thing I could still remember what I wrote for this chapter although it's not verbatim. It's hard to rewrite the 3 chapters of I Found Your Cat, so I have to wait until I can go back to school on Monday to update it (>.<)
