Bold & Italicized in Korean

Hoku’s POV..

I went to sleep around 4am this morning still in tears from my encounter with the devil  last night, and immediately regretted it again when I woke up. I groaned annoyed sitting up in my bed to see that my eyes were so swollen that I could even see through them. I hissed annoyed, holding my hands to my eyes forcefully rubbing them, in hopes my aftermath would just disappear. I had to force my eyes to see that it was only 6am which meant that everyone was still asleep. Giving up on the sleeping adventure, I slowly found my way to the kitchen where I found a few tea bags. Old wives tale about getting rid of swollen eyes, using warm tea bags, resting them on your eyes for a few minutes, while lying down. I did exactly that, laying out on the leather couch before laying the tea bags on my eyes with a sigh in relief. I don’t know how long I was laying there, but the next thing I knew I heard someone knocking on the apartment door then followed by a pair of feet running towards the door.

“Where the hell did she disappear to? Oh! There you are geez.” I heard Tyra mumble before obviously seeing me lying on the couch. Thank goodness I had a wet cloth over my eyes so she couldn’t see it.

“I’m coming!” She yelled to the knocking before I heard her open the door before a muffled squeal.

“Ty! Who is it?” I asked back as I heard the door shut followed by a pair of footsteps into the living room.

“Ty?” I called out again before sighing.

“Hoku! We need to get ready, so get up!” She teased before I heard her footsteps running off down the hall. I groaned annoyed, throwing my legs over the edge of the couch before sitting up. I pulled the cloth off my face before slowly pulling the tea bags off and into my hands, that’s when I noticed the fashionable pair of shoes standing not too far from me. My eyes shot open as much as I could before I hesitantly looked up to see someone I didn’t want to see.

“Oh no.” I mumbled massaging my temples annoyed from seeing him and from the fact that I’m sure he noticed my still partially swollen eyes.

“What is that supposed to mean?” He asked outraged in a whisper causing me to snort and stand up to glare at him.

“I have to see you at work for the next 3 months, don’t torture me by coming to my room too.”  I begged in a hiss causing his eyes to shoot open. I waited a bit for an answer, getting none I snorted before walking away just as he quickly grabbed my wrist.  I sighed looking over my shoulder to see him looking down to his shoes.

“I’m sorry about last night. I didn’t think you would get that upset with me seeing it.” He whispered as I felt my heart leap before I quickly composed myself, ripping my wrist out of his.

“Don’t apologize for something you’re not sorry for. “ I whispered on the verge of tears causing met o quickly look away afraid to come around as weak in front of him.

“I need to get ready for work. See yourself out.” I whispered calming down a bit before I walked away and into my room quickly. I shut my room door, locking it in case before sliding down onto my in a plop. I made sure I heard the apartment door open and shut before I sighed in relief this time, ignoring the nagging feeling in my heart.

Jiyong’s POV…

I didn’t sleep all night thanks to that damn nagging feeling in my mind from the previous night’s encounters. Never had anything a fan would say to me, ever got under my skin before, but for some reason her words felt like they were burning walls through my defense walls. I sighed watching her quickly run away from me with still swollen eyes. I had to admit, for some strange reason, it hurt me to see her like that but I decided to ignore it and get out. Doing as she told, I excused myself from their apartment before making my way down to the lobby area where the rest of them were waiting.

“Geez, where did you disappear to, again?” Seungri whined again as I pulled my sunglasses on with my hood over my head.

“A quick smoke.” I pointed out emotionless as Seunghyun hyung looked at me suspiciously. I’m sure he noticed the lie, from the fact that I didn’t smell like smoke at all. I just looked at him uncaringly before we walked outside to the van waiting at the curb. The schedule today was slightly packed from my understanding, a photo shoot with G-Market in the first half of the day, then rehearsals for the Big Show in 2 months for the rest of the night. I sighed sitting in the passenger seat of the van before shut my eyes.

Her eyes were swollen. I mentioned to myself as her hurt expression run through my head causing me to shake it viciously.

“You ok up there?” A voice asked as I opened my eyes and looked over my shoulder to see Daesung looking at me worried with the rest of the group.

“Yah, just tired.” I murmured yawning to convince them before shutting my eyes.

“Why was it that the second I shut my eyes, that damn girl is always there, god!” I snapped inside myself before her hurt eyes shot across my vision. I sighed softly before massaging my temples. This was going to be such a long day.

Hoku’s POV..

Once I heard him leave, I sighed in relief before going to get ready for the schedules ahead of us. Looking through the schedule at what we would be following them today, I noticed it was a photo shoot along with their rehearsals, which should be interesting to say the least. Looking into the vanity mirror I groaned in annoyance to see that my eyes were still noticeably swollen as I dropped my head onto the dresser annoyed.

“You’re going to give yourself a bruise if you continue to do that.” A voice pointed out causing me to look up into the mirror to see Eden looking at me amused before her eyes shot open in realization.

“What the hell happened to you?” She shot at me in momma mode marching over before grabbing my head between her hands.

“It’s nothing.” I mumbled trying to pull away from her.

“Nothing my , Ty!” She shouted as my eyes shot open before I pushed away from her finally just as Tyra peeked in.

“What?” She asked with her toothbrush still in causing me to quickly look away.

“Nothing.” Eden mentioned before walking out as I waited for them to leave. Of course they were my best friends, but there were just things that were better off not mentioned or discussed during this trip. I sighed walking over before locking the door to stop any further annoyance. Noticing that the wind blowing in the window was a bit warmer than usual I walked over to the closet pulling out a simple black button up blouse with short sleeves, before grabbing a torn pair of teal jean shorts and slipping them on. Once I was dressed, I had to add a little more makeup than usual to cover as much of the bags under my eyes plus the puffiness which I couldn’t completely hide so I resorted on using my sunglasses as cover till they were gone.  Lastly I slipped a black oversized beanie over my hair, not caring to do anything special with it as it drifted down my back to my hips in wine red curls. I sighed looking at myself in the mirror, pulling the blouse down a bit to hide any skin that was peeking through before nodding.

“Guess this is as good as its gonna get.” I mumbled grabbing my over the shoulder bag filled with my camera, video camera and laptop to do a little fan club work on our down time. I unlocked the door before peeking out to see the coast was clear. I kicked my colorful high tops again before walking into the living room to see the 2 girls quickly look at me suspiciously.

“Why is it that the ‘brave and stubborn’ Hoku all of a sudden cries?” Tyra asked standing up seriously as I glared through my sunglasses at Eden who obviously had loose lips.

“Don’t worry about it.” I mumbled adjusting the heavy bag before Tyra marched over pulling my sunglasses forcefully from my face surprising me. Her eyes slightly shot open before she tilted her head.

“You know, you should do your makeup like that more often, it’s hot.” She pointed out smirking as Eden walked over and elbowed her ribs as she hissed before clearing .

“Why were you crying? Did something happen?” Eden asked worried as I sighed before curling a straight hair under my beanie.

“Don’t worry about it guys, nothing serious.” I said taking my sunglasses from Tyra before we heard a knock on the door.

“Time to go.” I said quickly walking to the door seeing Mr. Kim smiling before bowing.

“Morning.” I said bowing my head as he gestured for us to follow him. I said bowing my head as he gestured for us to follow him. We silently followed after him before climbing into the back of the usual van. I sat quietly looking out the window most of the time before a tap on my shoulder broke me from my trance. I turned hesitantly looking over my shoulder to see Tyra leaning forward looking between me and the driver as I sighed knowing what was about to happen.

"What did GD oppa want this morning?" She whispered as I blushed before composing myself as Eden leaned in.

"Wait? No one told me he came over." She whined silently outraged as I snorted.

"No, your precious 'Bae-Bae' didn't come." I pointed out teasingly as she hissed annoyed before flicking my forehead

"Ha! Funny." She said sarcastically as I smiled and then turned back when Tyra cleared .

"Anyways." She said glaring at Eden before looking back to me expectantly.

"Nothing." I said plainly as she groaned before leaning closer.

"If you don't tell me, I'll go ask him." She threatened causing my eyes to shoot open. I had misjudged her back in High School once when she used the same threat with my ex-boyfriend, she ended up doing exactly what she said she would. I groaned annoyed before rolling my eyes to look at her.

"He came over to talk about todays schedule, that's all." I whined lying through my teeth as her eyes shot open.

"Why'd he come over instead of calling?" Eden asked confused as I sat back in my seat before sighing.

"YG didn't mention to them that he gave us them." I lied as they nodded before we all noticed we were pulling into a parking lot to strange building.

"Where are we?" I asked Mr. Kim leaning towards the drivers seat as I looked out the window in interest.

"Ah, this is the studio they're using to do the G-Market photo shoot." Mr. Kim explained as I nodded in understanding before Tyra quickly tapped my shoulder from the backseat.

“G-Market Studio.” I informed quickly knowing what she was about to ask me before she asked causing her to smirk.

“You should just translate anytime you guys speak that.” Eden teased as I rolled my eyes annoyed before Mr. Kim parked the van.

“YG also asked me to pass these badges for you to wear to all of their schedules and to the YG building. It’s so everyone knows where you’re from, who you are, so no one gives you a hard time.” Mr. Kim explained turning towards me before holding out three colorful badges hanging from bright pink lanyards. On the passes had our fan clubs logo across the top, our pictures and roles in the back while the front was creatively made with a collage of Big Bang photos, it was surprisingly pretty.

“He said these badges we need to wear them to introduce ourselves at BB’s schedules and at YG building. So everyone knows who we are, where were from and so no one causes any trouble.” I explained handing the girls theirs before slipping mine around my neck to hang in front.

“It’s so pretty.” Tyra said petting it in a squeal causing me to laugh and shake my head. We soon climbed out of the van and into the parking lot, making our way into the studio building, down a bunch of hallways before I stopped everyone.

“Can I talk to them for a second?” I asked Mr. Kim through my sunglasses as he smiled and nodded.

“I’ll wait at the door at the end of the hallway.” He mentioned causing me to smile and nod before I bowed to him.

“So?” Eden asked not sure why I stopped them.

“YG reminded me last night  to make sure that we take interviews of the guys so we I can update that part of the page soon.” I mentioned as they blushed before hesitantly nodding causing me to sigh.

“Guys, this is our jobs. We need to do this or I’m sure YG will just kick us out of Korea.” I mentioned seriously before they sighed bravely nodding.

“But what are we supposed to ask them anyways? You know all that litters this head when I’m near them are vulgar questions.” Tyra whined gesturing to her head as I nodded, knowing all too well what she was referring to. I was prepared for that though. I pulled out a bunch of index cards before handing them a dozen each.

“What the heck are these?” Eden asked confused reading through a few as I smiled.

“I opened a special page of the fan club. I asked VIP’s what they wanted to know the most about the guys that they didn’t already know. So I picked the ones that weren’t erted or vulgar.” I gestured as they nodded before fanning themselves.

“Ok, I think I can handle it today.” Eden said pumping her fists up and down proudly causing me to smirk.

“So are you going to walk around in sunglasses all day?” Tyra then asked as we began walking towards the door before I sighed.

“I’ll keep it on till it goes away. I don’t need people making ridiculous assumptions.” I mumbled annoyed as I looked down to my badge.

“Tyra, you get TOP and Daesung. Eden you get your lovely ‘Bae-Bae’. I got GD and Seungri.” I pointed out grabbing my camera from my bag before putting it around my neck.

“And for the love of god, if you want to ask a random question, please keep the ert/ creeper meter to a minimum.” I whined as they scoffed pushing me annoyed.

“You’re one to talk, I heard all the nasty things you use to say about GD.” Tyra teased as I blushed and walked ahead of them.

“Hey! Don’t you dare ditch us!” Eden shouted causing me to snort before we finally reached the door to see Mr. Kim waiting against the wall.

“Everything alright?” He asked worried as I smiled and nodded holding my camera up.

“I’ll take you to Hana, and then be back later to take you to YG.” He informed gesturing for us to follow as I felt the glares to the back of my head.

“He’s taking us to Hana, and then he’ll be back later to take us to YG.” I mentioned in a sigh as  we walked through the packed oversized room, bowing at whoever would look our way.

“Ah! There you guys are!” A cheerful familiar voice shouted as I looked over to see the smiling Hana walking towards us.

“Morning.” I said bowing my head as she smiled.

“Morning guys, you right on time, they were just about to start.” She informed pointing over her shoulder to the designed set causing me to smile.

“Thanks Mr. Kim.” I said bowing my head as he smiled and bowed before walking away.

“So YG informed me that the time to interview the guys for the page would be when they are changing from their outfits, resting or in makeup and hair. They have already been forewarned and whatnot. Also Hoku-ssi, he asked that you also take a few photos of the guys getting ready, candid’s and whatnot.” She informed as I smiled and nodded checking the battery on my camera.

“There is a refreshment table over there if you ever get thirsty or hungry, either than that you guys are free to roam around and do your thing. If you guys have any questions, I’m here.” She said gesturing to herself as I smiled and nodded.

“Go do your thing.” I hissed through my teeth to the 2 gripping onto my shirt before they whined and hesitantly let go before latching onto themselves. I watched as they walked away like a pair of doe’s in the headlights only causing me to laugh before looking to Hana.

“It’s alright to take off your sunglasses in here Hoku-ssi.” She said gesturing to my face as I laughed nervously fixing them.

“I have a headache this morning, didn’t get a lot of sleep last night, so I’m trying to shield my eyes from the lights.” I lied as she nodded before gesturing for me to follow her.

“YG wanted me to introduce you to the photographer. He’s a famous photographer here in Korea, Lee Donghae.” She mentioned as I quickly fixed my attire before walking towards her to the front of the shoot. There sat a younger looking man behind a few computers.

“Ah Donghae-ssi?” She whispered as the man stopped talking before turning to her. My eyes shot open in slight shock, the man that I was looking at wasn’t the image of the man I thought I was going to meet. Instead of the fat, old, short bald Asian, it was an Asian none the less, but he was young, maybe my age. He had a full hair, long black hair that was tied back into a ponytail. He was an average height, maybe a bit taller than 5’7”. But he was handsome obviously.

“Ah, Hana-ssi, what can I help you with?” he asked with a deadly smile causing met o blush before fixing my sunglasses.

“This is the photographer for the club and also the  Head Admin from the states.” She informed pointing to me as he looked at me. It seemed that something had registered in his head because his eyes shot open before he stood up quickly.

“She doesn’t understand Korean, so I’m their translator.” She said quickly as the man walked towards me before stopping 2 feet from me.

“She’s not feeling 100% today, the sunglasses are to protect her eyes from the light to keep her headache under control.” Hana explained like I was a disease before the man smiled before holding his hand.

“I’m Lee Donghae, it’s a pleasure to finally meet you.” He said in perfect English as my eyes shot open in shock.

“H-hi, I mean, I’m Hoku Fernandez, it’s an honor to meet you.” I said stuttering a bit before shaking his hand. What the heck was happening?
