Leen’s POV

I grabbed my coats and bravely faced the freezing streets near Han river. I looked at him where we met before. None. I searched at the whole side and almost lost hope then I decided to check the other side. The winds blew harder on that side but without hesitation I proceeded.

It’s past 10pm and I’m still not finding him. I texted the others if he could’ve possibly gone back now or he they were able to contact him but there’s still none. They said that the scandal was getting no 1 in the search item and they have been called by Mr YG to report to them as soon as possible. They’re worrying if Hanbin will not be home tonight and are fretting on what they will excuse of him tomorrow if their leader is absent.

I couldn’t feel my hands and face now. It’s was freezing and I decided to rest for a bit. With no other options I ended up in a small soju tent to save my life. I tried to keep close at the door if ever Hanbin would pass. Well, I can’t also keep myself to blend with these drunk people anyways so…when suddenly,

“IMO, Another bottle please!!”

That voice! I looked around. He was there, drinking alone by himself. Stupid. Of course he could be drinking now. I head to his table. He had already downed 5 bottles of soju.

“Hanbin-ah, it’s Leen Noona”

He didn’te bother me. He kept looking down and playing this black ring in his table.

“Noona, do you know what this is?” He suddenly spoke,,,in a very crooked manner.

“Eh?”

“This is our friendship ring. All six of us have this. We bought them together when we once shopped at Dongdaemun. We’ve been keeping this for 5 years now.”

“Oooookaaaaaaayyy?”

“What could possibly happen if I lose this?? Will they get angry at me? Will they buy me a new one?”

Then an ahjumma came with the soju he asked for. He tried to grab it but I took it.

“No, let’s go Hanbin. You’re drunk and this won’t solve your problems. Let’s go home”

“NO! I will never go home! Not between my two homes. I can’t”

“What’s your big deal? It was just a false scandal! They weren’t doing anything you know that?” I tried to explain in a quite but slightly annoyed voice.

“He likes her!” He shouted

“Hanbin-ah, calmed down!”

“Though the photo rumours about them kissing are not true he admitted that he likes Sara noona!”

Good thing they’re only few visitors. Of course, who would go down here drinking soju with this weather? Only problematic crazy people like him~

“Okay, get your head straight first.” I lifted his face with my hands. “let’s get out in this place okay?” I tried to lift him in his chair but he’s just so heavy.

“No. I said I’m not going home”

“But they’re looking for you”

“I AM NOT!” People looked at us. . I don’t want any scandal here too.

“Okay, Bi~ I will not get you home okay. Let’s find another place other than this one” I said carefully

“Where?” ……aish. God. Of course where will I bring him?!!!

“Somewhere warmer. I promise. Not to your house or dorm”

Then he got up. But he was so feeble I can’t even have a grip of him. Good thing there were a couple behind who helped us all the way till we get in to a cab.

In the cab..

He leaned to my shoulder. Let this drunk guy be. Aigoo. I told my address to the driver. Where could we go to safe and scandal-free but my house. Aish. Lala noona had gone to a vacation this week so it’s okay. The driver said he had to drive slowly cause the roads are slippery and its dangerous. Haay..

“Nooooona~”

“Just sleep there.”

“Can I talk to you informally?”

“Eh?”

“Leen-ah”

“YAH~”

“Haha, it’s interesting”

“Shut up and sleep.” He was silent for a moment then talked again.

“Noona, do Sara noona like Donghyuk?”

“I don’t know. She haven’t opened up to me yet. But I’m pretty sure she’ll be. I told you before she likes the kinds of Donggi”

“Waaa..they’re 5 years apart. But still, love has no boundaries”

“Yeah, it’s cringing isn’t it? 5 years omo”

“Whyyyyy??? What’s wrong with that if they love each other????” He got annoyed.

“Chill.. okay fine. It may work for other people but I..i just can’t think of that…to me..err”

“I like Noonas”

“Yeah, I think so too”

“I like you Noona”

WHOAAH..THAT IS SO CASUAL..just the same as saying ‘I like ice cream’ This kid! Will you just sleep?! Though that’s what I want to say it didn’t come out from my mouth. I just kept my silence so he won’t reply anymore. But he talked again after a minute.

“Actually, I wasn’t curious about our debut that much. I worry about Donghyuk and my team. What if we fall in love? Isn’t love the most wonderful thing in this world? But if we debut next week that means we’ll be banned from dating for 10 years. Considering Donghyuk fell in love now and Yoonhyung is still hiding her girlfriend what could happen with their relationships if we debut. I just can’t understand why the media likes to feast with these things.”

“It’s called love versus career. As mainstream as it is, it happens”

“Do you know some idols who managed to be in good romantic relationships while in the industry?”

“a lot.”

“Really? So there’s a possibility that we can still date secretly?”

“Well, those I knew are already popular like they waited for 3-4 years before the media’s stop from looking at them. In your case, because you’re still about to debut, all eyes will be on you.”

“DAMN.”

Ow . Wrong words. Am being clumsy again! Aish “I mean, you can still find love but you know you have to be 200% careful”

“No. I understand, okay..”

Pabo. I’m sorry. I just can’t lie. Tss..why do I have to be like this?? I could’ve just lied!

“Atleast, you’re always with us. I’m okay with that. From the time being I’m going to break your creed in liking older guys”

Will you just shut up?! Annoying kid. AND FINALLY we arrived at my apartment. I made the driver drag him to the elevator upto the 12^th floor to my apartment and made sure no one can recognize him.

With no other choice I made him rest at my own bed. Tssh. Whatever. He’s aware of my fangirling so what if he sees my walls filled with KPOP? Then he suddenly talked.

“Don’t ignore me Noona. I’m not lying. I like you” He smiled still with eyes closed.

I threw him a pillow. I don’t know but he’s really freaking me out. Or rather making me nervous. I left the room and planned for tomorrow.

Haay, though he was annoying he said the right things. Tough life of idols..haay~

B.i/Hanbin’s POV

Just clear blue skies. I only see blue skies. But it’s so peaceful. It’s nice. To feel this peacefulness. Then a lightning bolt suddenly strikes that caught me!

I woke up.

 AW! MY HEAD! Suddenly reality hit me. . I lay again and got surprised that I’m not in my bed! This room is…loud. Not loud by noise but loud by pictures. All walls are covered with pictures of all sorts and letters and things! It’s not girlish but totally busy room full of art materials and creative things. Even the clock is absurd. I tried to understand it and it says 2pm. Wait, 2pm! I got up suddenly and got out the room. I looked at the corners but no one’s in. Then I found note taped on the ref, “BI, EAT! There’s a kimchi chiggae at the table. If it’s not hot anymore put it in the microwave. I’ll be back just in a while. Sorry, I locked you home. Don’t worry, I’m just keeping you safe :P Get your head straight!!” Bi? ……wait..LEEN NOONA?!

It’s already afternoon and as a normal human being I’m starving. The stew’s gone cold so she’s probably gone early. I heated in the microwave and ate it. As I eat I tried to recollect my memory.

Ah. Donghyuk. I opened my phone. Of course, there’s a lot of messages. I looked at the text from only today.

Donghyuk: I’m just very sorry hyung. IM VERY VERY SORRY

Jinhwan Hyung: Hope you’re okay. Come back when you’re feeling better.

Bobby hyung: It’s okay, rest for a bit. We can handle this. Don’t worry too much ;)

Last night, Joonhwe, Bobby and I were trying to play a prank to Donghyuk cause we were seeing him serious these days. Joonhwe,y hyung and me where home first from recording and the other 3 were still at the studio. After he’s recording he walked home alone. We told him that we’ve gone somewhere and no ones at the dorm. We turned off all the lights and planned to surprise him. But when he entered, he was talking to the phone with someone. We three heard it all.

“Sorry Noona, I’m very sorry. I didn’t mean to put you in this situation…I’ll try my very best to pull you out from this scandal… No you didn’t do anything wrong…It was my fault.. Im very very sorry…”

I came out suddenly to his surprise but as I the lights I saw him crying. He saw the article scandal. “YG’s upcoming debut team member caught kissing his girlfriend in public” He explained everything.

“I didn’t do anything wrong, I’m telling the truth. It was the photographer’s angle that made it looked disgusting. But of course it’s the whole nation looking at it now. This might be a very small annoying picture but to the public it’s a complete mess to our name. Hyung, I’m very very very sorry for being careless. But I have a sin to confess, I think I like Sara noona. I haven't confessed to her but I think I have feelings for her now. That's why i'm more worried. I never intended to fall in love with her. It just happened. Hyungnims, I’m sorry. I'm very very very sorry,” He cried.

“Did Mr. YG knew about this already?”

“No”

I called him. I confessed everything Donghyuk said except that he liked her. That was out of business. He didn’t respond well on my call but after an hour he called me back. “All of you come to my office tomorrow early in the morning. I believe you are saying the truth. I’ll try to stop the spreading tonight but I’m telling you Hanbin, considering you are suppose to debut next week, this will affect your debut”

I only told my members that we need to come to his office. They were all discussing at Donghyuk’s room when out of my mind, I turned my phone and went out secretly.

Actually I’m very worried now. I was so selfish. What could’ve happened to them today? I could only think of the worst. Our debut might be postponed for more months. Our Boss can always do that. I'm worried most of my members. How will they able to cope with this now? I looked at my hand..WAIT..my friendship ring??

Why thoughts was suddenly distrupted when the door opened. It was her and with droopy eyes and red nose.. “sniff sniff…YOU..stay here for a while..i got you some clothes..sniff sniff” 

“What??? What do you mean stay here for a while??”

“I’ll explain everything BUT I’m going to eat first please. Wanna eat with me?” She prepared the food.

“No, I just finished eating. What happened? Why am I here and why did you lock me?”

“First, sniff sniff if someone sees B.I from this room then you’re dead. Second, you still can’t go back to your dorm. Sniff sniff But, you don’t know why you’re here?”

“No. I think I drunk last night,”

“Meoya, I dragged you out of your drunkenness last night! You don’t even remember everything you did?! Aigoo~ha HA HACCHOO!!”

“Noona, are you sick?”

“AISH. This is your fault! Anyway while I eat you can change now. Here are your clothes, your members gave them to me. I came from YG today. I’ll tell you everything after you change. Gosh you smell!”

After I wash myself and change I found her hugging her favourite ghost doll at the living room while watching Mnet. Oops, no. she’s not watching. She’s sleeping. I sat next to the sofa where she lies and touched her forehead as she opened her weak eyes.

“Oh, you’re done..sniff”

“Noona, you really are sick!”

“Tss..don’t overreact. I already took my meds.”

“But you’re hot!”

“I’d already gone to the clinic. Shh..i’m fine. Although,” She threw an annoyed look at me although her eyes are already weak. “YOU, this is all your fault! I never get sick!”

“Okay okay Noona, what exactly happened last night?”

She turned off the TV. “Okay, so I found you in a soju tent seriously drunk and I took you home because you don’t want to go home.”

“How’d you find me? DID I CALL YOU?!”

“No. I searched for you mister. That’s why I got this colds! Aigoo”

“Really? That’s it? Didn’t I do or say anything else?”

“If I hadn’t dragged you out of that tent you probably did something else. You were screaming ‘I don’t wanna go home” Gosh, you’re so screwed last night. Do you even know how to drink properly?”

“Are you sure that’s all I did?”

“Yeah. Why? Hmmm” Her face came near to mine, “Do you do something else when you’re drunk????”

I backed off. “N-nn-no..”

“Haha. I think you do. Anyway, you didn’t do anything not appropriate last night. You were behaved” she touched my chin and winked.

My heart skip a beat. Then, felt down again. “Noona, how can you be smiling in times like this? You know it’s a total mess out there now. Tell me what actually happened at the office. Are they going to kick me out?”

“Eyy,,it’s not that I don’t know how to be serious but it’s actually okay. Though I think your members are quite disappointed in you. But I explained things to them and now they’re okay. I was also present in the meeting. Mr. YG was so freaking scary for real but thank god he quite likes me.”

“What, what what happened at the meeting? Can you tell me specifically???”

“Okay, so I met the boys before going to the meeting. I explained to them that I found you drunk and you’re impossible to wake up so I locked you in my house so you can’t meddle with the plans for today. I told them that we should tell Mr. YG that you’re suffering from LBM because of some rotten food you ate last night.”

“Of all other options, that”

“Why, that’s the most effective. I actually used it quite sometimes and it really does!”

“Okay fine, and then what? What happened to the news?”

“We told Mr. YG the truth. That it was just the angle of the pictures that it came out kissing and that Sara Noona is my friend and she was drunk. And yes, he got angry to us but after that he’s good. He said since no one lied then it’s okay. There were no harms on your team, trust me, your schedule for debut will proceed.”

“Really?”

“Yeah”

“Seriously?”

“Yeaahh~”

I hugged her suddenly. I can’t believe this! “Eotteke? How could you do this to us? Thank you. I really am thank you!”

“Yahh, I-c-can-can’t breathe!”

“Oops, sorry” I released her. “I’m just very grateful Noona. What do we do if you weren’t here?”

“Haha, then that’ll keep you out of trouble atleast. Remember that scandal happened because of my birthday”

“Eyy, don’t say such things. We could’ve possibly ended up again in wrecks if you weren’t with us. Really, thank you Miss Leen”

“Ugh, okay fine. It’s alright.” She opened the TV again.” Oh, I remember, Bobby said you go home late at night so no paparazzi will find you. I know it’s overreacting so if you want to go, you can go now,”

Hmm..Bobby would never actually suggest that. He’s not the type to keep me from those overreacting issues. Ha! Guess he just want me to be here with Noona. Tshh, that’s why I love my bestfriend, Haha

“No, I think he’s right. After all that scandal I won’t let myself get caught coming out from a woman’s dorm.”

She threw another annoyed look. “You haven’t debut yet but you’re acting so much. Aigooo…sniff sniff…but if that’s what you want then alright. Go find yourself something to play with cause I NEED TO WATCH MCOUNTDOWN”

 No you won't. I'm not going to waste God's given time with you (;
