(AUTHOR NOTE : FOR THIS SCENE I RECOMMEND YOU GUYS LISTEN TO RUN TO YOU BY LUCY)

"Apa? pelakon tambahan?" wajah Mrs Kims yang sedang memotong rice cakes kini berkerut

Eunha mengangguk. Tteok-bokki yang separuh habis kini ditolak ke tepi. " Mak pun tak percaya kan, anak mak ni cantik sangat sampai orang scout macam tu je"

"ada je kau" Mrs Kim memasukkan kepingan rice cakes ke dalam kuali besar yang berisi kuah samyang dan mula mengacau

" seriouslah mak, here, tengok ni kad dia. Oh Seomin, KBSS screenwriter" Eunha bangun menuju ke arah kaunter lalu mempamerkan kad business Seomin

Mrs Kim yang sibuk menyelesaikan pesanan pelanggan di kedai tepi jalan itu melirik sekali lalu .Hatinya sedikt lega " sudah, jangan kacau mak.Pergi balik.Siapkan makanan adik kau nak balik sekolah dah."

"really?" Mata Eunha bercahaya " so kita deal? mak tak hantar Eunha balik kampung dah!?"

"kenapa, kau nak balik ke?" selamba Mrs Kim menanya.

Eunha pantas mengeleng, Pipi Mrs Kim dicium " no, no way at all! mak, Eunha balik dulu, thank you for the food."

"Eunha,bawa balik tteok-bokki ni dekat adik kamu " jerit Mrs Kim

Wanita itu berjalan riang sambil menyanyi perlahan. Tangannya yang memegang bekas tteok -bokki terhuyung hayang.

Imaginasinya sudah mencapai tahap di mana dia melihat dirinya berada di atas pentas menerima anugerah,melambai gembira terhadap peminat yang menyebut namanya.

Not to mention, she finally one step closer to meet Seojun not as a fans but as one of the people in the industry.

How can this not be worth celebrating!?
........................................................

Ayam goreng yang di order dari duit simpannya kini sampai. Nasi goreng kimchi yang sudah dimasak oleh Mrs Kims pagi tadi juga selesai dipanaskan untuk Luna.

Ayam goreng and bir with kimci as side dish, perfect!

Duduk di meja kecil yang terletak di ruang tamu,menghadap makanan berserta laptop yang menayangkan ulangan event M-live semalam, Eunha feel like she in heaven.

Bunyi notification telefonnya masuk meneru, wanita itu pantas mengecheck satu persatu mesej sama ada dari instagram, twitter,kakao talk atau telegram

Dirinya yang baru mempunyai peluang untuk melihat situasi semasa kerana sibuk dari pagi kini terdiam

Jam dinding yang menunjukkan detik 3.29 petang kini terasa terhenti.

Carian trending di twitter kini membuat hatinya berdebar.Dengan hit tweet sebanyak 3.4 juta, nama carian teratas itu membuat paha ayam goreng yang dipegangnya hampir terjatuh

Tangan Eunha pantas menekan nama Seojun yang berada di number satu untuk bahagian trending hari ini

What the heck happen to her Seojun?

Senarai tweet mula naik berkaitan perkara itu, Eunha mula membaca tweet pertama yang dilihatnya

( TWITTER STATUS)

GUYS, I KNOW WE ALL MAD AT THEM FOR DISTURBING THE BOYS PRIVACY BUT THE POINT IS THE SASENG HAVE TAKEN THE PICTURE OF OUR BOYS ARRIVING AT THE SET AND SEOJUN IS NOT THERE WITH THEM.

* IMAGE.PGX* *IMAGE.PGX*

Eunha pantas membuka gambar image yang diselitkan oleh penguna twitter tersebut.Dia mengusya kelima anggota kumpulan itu satu persatu.Kelibat Seojun tidak kelihatan di dalam gambar itu.

Thread yang dibacanya tadi kembali discroll ke bawah

( TWITTER STATUS)

"The fuck!" Eunha tidak percaya dengan apa yang baru dibacanya.Dia pantas bergerak ke arah halaman telegram dan membuka group Our Seojun Our Life

Eunha mengangguk membaca komen tersebut.Dia turut mula menaip. Nafasnya turun naik menahan perasaan marah kepada wanita saseang yang memulakan issue tersebut.

-----------------------------------

.........................................

Eunha menutup ruang chat telegram itu.Dia membuka twitter dan mula membaca setiap tweet yang berkaitan dengan Seojun.

Perasaannya bercampur bauk.She wanna kill that saseang but she also worried the Parrainer group member terutama Seojun must have seen the news

"goddamit, they just about to have a comeback!!" Eunha mengerang sambil membaca komen pengguna twitter yang lain

She have a little care about the company nor idol image when this type of scandal rises before but when her favourite group now caught up in the rumour, she finally feel restless. The most important matter is she just worries about Seojun feeling.

The guy who always smile so brightly everytime he faces the camera, she don't want that smile to disappear.
........................................................

Suasana di set pengambaraan itu kini tegang.Masa rehat yang sepatutnya digunakan untuk makan kini diganti dengan anggota kumpulan Parrainer berada di dalam nanny van car, membuat video call dengan Ceo syarikat mereka , Park Hyunwoo.

Kelibat lelaki berumur 30-an yang memberi aura overbearing president itu kini menyadarkan badan ke kerusi di dalam pejabatnya.Muka kacak milik lelaki itu kelihatan tenang. Tangannya disilang " so we gonna go with that statement.I already talk to Aera about this "

Wajah Seojun pucat.Dia memandang kosong kearah Hyunwoo

Hyunwoo,menyedari reasksi Seojun mengeluh. " you sure nobody photograph you guys dekat hotel tu?"

Deoksu yang berada di tempat co pilot dan memegang ipad yang sedang digunakan untuk video call itu mengeleng " I'm sure Ceo.Waktu nak keluar, i give Seojun a pair of hoodie and basketball cap.He also wearing black glasses and mask, it's impossible for people nak kenal dia dengan sekali tengok.Time turun tu pun the lobby and car basement tak ada fans atau sasaeng, penghuni hotel pun beberapa orang je.We know the type of customer from the hotel bukan jenis yang ambil besar perkara macam ni."

Hyunwoo mengangguk " truth, diorang pun sama. Why should they care."

Wooseok melihat risau ke arah Seojun " Junnie Hyung.."

" the company will post the statement in few minute. That's it.you all can go." Pandangan Hyunwoo jatuh kearah Jeno yang memandang permandangan di luar tingkap.

"let's go out." Juyeon yang menyedari renungan Hyunwoo menarik Eunsang,Wooseok,Seojun dan Minho keluar.

Suasana menjadi diam saat hanya Deoksu dan Jeno tinggal di dalam van itu

"Je..".suara Hyunwoo dipotong

Jeno, still with his stoic face now finally look directly at Hyunwoo " is that saseang will be taken action by the company?"

"huh..ah,yeah, we still trying to find her address.Jeno, do you..."

Sekali lagi suara Hyunwoo dipotong " then make sure she get the correct punishment Ceo Park.I be out first."

Tangan Jeno baru hendak membuka pintu van apabila Hyunwoo made a low laugh

"so you still mad at me because i don't give you that roles."

Jeno beralih kearah ipad yang dipegang oleh Deoksu yang membuat muka janggal " do i look like i need your help?"

Hyunwoo senyum kecil "oh,you don't? do you forget who your sponsor is?"

Jeno mencengkam tangan " i think you the one who forget i done doing business with you."

Riak wajah tampan Hyunwoo sedikit berubah " business? that all you think of me after all these years? have i ever wrong you?"

Jeno ketawa sinis " wow, look at you playing victim. Ceo Park, i think you need to stop fool around with every new idol you just meet.You brain shorcut seem to be disconnected. It's also can save you dari suffering from STD's."

Jeno berlalu keluar dari van tersebut

Hyunwoo mengeluh " He really a sttuborn guy, but that what made him look cute. Deoksu, look affer him and the rest.Make sure the news don't reach them anymore.Report to me if anything happen here."

Deoksu mengangguk " yes Ceo."

Panggilan video call itu terputus.

Deoksu menarik nafas .Damn why the heck he have to be in that awkward situasion of his Ceo wooing his artist.
.....................................................

Langkah Seojun diatur laju tanpa arah.Fikirannya kosong.Hanya satu perkata yang terlintas.

He need to called Aera right now!

"Junnie Hyung, wait!" Wooseok menahan badan Seojun." we need to talk."

Kemarahan Minhoo sebentar tadi turut hilang diganti dengan perasaan risau terhadap Seojun "hey Junnie Hyung, we really need to talk."

Seojun berhenti.Dia beralih memandang keempat ahli kumpulan Parrainer " aku mintak maaf, if not because of me nama kumpulan kita tak akan jadi buruk."

Eunsang mengangkat bahu " chill Junnie Hyung, no one blaming you.It's can happen to any of us.
Apa yang penting sekarang gambar kau dekat hotel tu tak ada."

Juyeon mengangguk " betul, relax Junnie Hyung, after the company statement get release the gossip gonna quiet down.Lagipun image kau dekat public berbeza dengan apa yang saseang tu lapor so the netizen will not believe it easily."

"yes Wooseok Hyung, i saw the post and comment, everyone was supporting you and bashing the saseang."

Minho membuka mulut " Junnie Hyung..aku mintak maaf sebab marah tadi..Aku ... sorry.Aku patut kawal perasaan aku."

Seojun tersenyum lemah " it's okey Minnie, aku tahu you really don't meant it "

Juyeon memeluk Seojun "okey group hug now! malam ni aku belanja pizza!"

"no i'm on diet Yeonnie Hyung" Wooseok membantah lalu turut memeluk Juyeon dan Seojun " i want chicken salad tonight!"

Eunsang dan Minho memandang satu sama lain sebelum ketawa kecil dan turut menyertai pelukan itu.

"tak tunggu aku dah ?"Suara Jeno yang baru muncul kedengaran dari belakang sebelum he made the final hug.

"guys how long, i feel suffocated already" Juyeon kembali dalam moode mengusik

Diri Seojun yang terasa kosong sebentar tadi kini diisi dengan perasaan hangat.

He forget,he not alone anymore, he have them as a family now.

A family who accept and love him for who he really is.
