HYUKJAE POV

Okay, I choose wrong clothes today. This country is really hot and humid.

“Hyung, I should have taken off my jacket.” Sungmin said while fanning his face.

“Please come this way.” Hae showed us the way out from the arrival gate.  “Is it hot?” Hae asked Sungmin while he smiled cutely. (I almost squealed by his cuteness)

“Oh no.. It’s just humid.” Sungmin answered politely and I hold myself not to groan by frustration. Hae and Sungmin could communicate casually in English and I felt so left out.

But when we walked out from the gate, there’s a lot of fans already waiting for me and Sungmin arrival. They started to scream our names and took photos. I told Sungmin to walk faster and I realized that Hae walked beside me, he tried to protect me and Sungmin from the fans. He hold my upper arm protectively, “Please walk faster.”

Unconsciously, his act made me walk slower cos in the middle of chaos, I felt quite happy by his presence beside me.

“Hyung! Faster.” Sungmin pulled my hand and I realized that Sungmin not really fond with the crowded and I could still fell Hae’s hand guided me into the car.

Once I’m inside the car, my eyes looking for Hae thru the window and I can heard his voice, “Onew.. into the car now!” I sighed, Hae will not share a same car with me.

“Sungmin-ah, do you think local staff will share a same car with us?” I asked Sungmin but still act cool.

“The translator will ride with us.” Sungmin answered shortly and not long after the security, Kangin hyung and Onew the translator came in the car and I can’t hide my disappointment. I wish Hae ride a same car with me.

We arrived at the hotel and Kangin hyung gave me the room key, “Kangin hyung, where’s your room?” I asked him

“My room is opposite of your room, Sungmin will be on your right, stylish noona will be beside me.”

“And Mr. Kim will sleep on my left?”

“No, actually it will be local staff room.” Kangin hyung answered me shortly.

“Which one??” Suddenly I felt the excitement.

“Onew said it will be his room and the other one.” I grinned widely and Kangin hyung smacked my head.

“Stop grinning like that! What’s wrong with you?? Just prepare yourself for tonight TV show.”

I nodded and go to my room, take a shower and just wear my black brief boxer, wrapped myself with the bathrobe. I hummed a song when I walked out from my room but suddenly I heard someone left out shocked voice.

I turned my head and saw Hae was there, held a bento box. His face flushed red and we both just frozen in front of my room.

“Ca-can I he-help you?”

“N-no. It-it’s okay..”

And he walked awkwardly to the room on my left and I can’t hide a smile on my face.

“Sungmin, Hyukjae!! Let’s go! We need to go now, they says the traffic is really bad!” Kangin hyung said. When we went out from our room, I saw Hae was talking with Onew and both of them giggled. I wonder what they were talking about.

Hae and Onew guided us the elevator and we waited for a while.

I nudged Sungmin and I pointed at Hae, “Sungmin-ah asked him, how old is he?” Sungmin eyed me weirdly, “Hyung, I know you can’t speak English well but just ask about age? You can do it yourself.” He smiled teasingly and I glared at him.

“Okay... okay I will ask him.” Sungmin approached Hae and poke his shoulder while I just trailed behind Sungmin.

“Hae, I just wonder how old are you?”

“I’m 22 years old.”

“Aaa You are same like me!” Sungmin took Hae’s handshake it. I felt a slightly jealous and I pushed Sungmin aside then I took Hae’s hand and shake it too.

“I’m 23 years old!” I said and Hae’s face looks confused and he titled his head cutely.

“Hyukjae hyung is 23 years old and he’s older than us but next month is his birthday.”  Sungmin said and Hae smiled again.

“You are so cute like a doll.” I said it unconsciously while still held Hae’s hands.

On the way to TV station, Onew became a great companion since he is the only one who can speak Korean between the local staff and he is really a funny person. We shared some jokes and I found that Onew has a Korean boyfriend so he learn Korean for his boyfriend.

“Onew, do you think your country’s culture allow you to have a relationship with people from another country?” I asked him more likely I want to know about Hae.

“Well some of conservative parents will not go really well but I think right now it’s not that hard. It’s better to be happy with someone from another country than with someone from same country but you are not happy.” Onew explained.

“Like Hae, he just ended his 5 years relationship with his boyfriend cos he is not happy.” Onew keep talking about lot of stuff but I can’t really consume anything else than the fact that Hae is single.

“Onew hyung, do you listen to our music?” Sungmin asked Onew.

Onew clapped his hands, “Yes, the local staff listen to your music and Hae even used your song as the ringtone!”

“Really!!?” Onew nodded with enthusiasm.

“By the way, can I take a photo with both of you later?” Onew asked.

“Okay but you must allow me to go to the club!” I said it, it will be great right if I can go to the club cos Hae will be there too. I can show him my dance skill.

Onew whined, “Hyukjae.. You must ask Hae about that.”
