Author's Note
This isn't related to the story at all, but recently I've checked the traffic for my story and I've noticed I've got 0 hits for the previous chapter. But I know that can't be, because I also got a review for the previous chapter, so there should have at least been 1 hit on it.
So I was wondering, does anyone know what the problem is, or is anyone experiencing the same problem? Is it a glitch of the the site, or? I would like to know, so please do tell me, in a message or review maybe, if you do know the reason why. Thank you.
But anyway, here's the new chapter :) It's one of my favourite chapters. It's mostly about Jeremy and Mi Nam and I enjoyed writing it greatly as I finally got the chance to write about them together, so I hope you will enjoy reading it too :)
"Is it alright if I leave you here?"
"Yeah," Mi Nam smiled reassuringly at the black haired man. "I'm fine, Manager Ma."
"If you say so…" Manager Ma said hesitantly. But he returned Mi Nam's smile. "Then, I'll be going now, Mi Nam. President Ahn just called me."
"Alright, take care!" Mi Nam called out cheerfully. She watched as Manager Ma gave her a smile, before driving his car away into the distance.
The brunette walked along the road and to the steps of the veranda. She climbed them, and was slightly surprised to see a familiar blond hugging his dog when she reached the top.
"Jolie…what should I do? Shin Woo hyung's been taken away by Tae Kyung again!" Jeremy frowned. He rested his head on his golden retriever's fur. "He's forcing him to cross dress again when he doesn't want to!"
"And this time he's meeting Yoo He Yi," Jeremy grimaced to himself. "I know Shin Woo hyung's smart, but what if somehow, he gets discovered? What will happen then? Ah I wish I could do something to help him!"
Jolie just looked at him with her big brown eyes, blinking, and Jeremy sighed. He drew the golden retriever closer to him, frowning worriedly. "And there's a serial killer after Shin Woo hyung...wouldn't he be in danger if he went out? But then again Tae Kyung hyung pointed out that he won't be since he'll be in his female disguise…"
"I'm worried, Jolie. I don't want anything bad to happen to Shin Woo hyung…"
Jolie gave a low whine at her owner's distress. She moved closer to Jeremy, nuzzling him, and he smiled, running his fingers along her fur gently.
"You're worried about him too, huh?" Jeremy grinned fondly. "He treats you well, doesn't he, Jolie?"
"Woof!" Jolie seemed to answer Jeremy's question with a loud bark of agreement.
Jeremy's grin widened. He ruffled the golden retriever's fur, before getting up.
"Tae Kyung doesn't seem to care though," Jeremy said with a frown as he stretched a little, looking around at his surroundings. "I don't get what he's thinking- AH!"
Mi Nam blinked as Jeremy started at her presence, before he stuttered. "M-Mi Nam? Since when did you arrive?"
"When you were talking with Jolie…" Mi Nam answered truthfully.
"A-Ah…" Jeremy said. He seemed to hesitate, before saying. "So, you heard all that?"
Mi Nam nodded. "Yeah…" she tilted her head slightly, worried brown eyes staring at her bandmate. "Jeremy…what was that about Shin Woo hyung being in danger because of a serial killer?"
Jeremy sighed at her words. Shin Woo had wanted to prevent her from knowing, and he felt like beating himself up for being so careless as to not notice her presence.
"It's a long story…" the blond managed a smile. He moved to stand beside Mi Nam, placing a hand on her shoulder.
Mi Nam blinked and Jeremy grinned. He steered her into the mansion, through the living room and to the exit to the winding staircase on the other side, turning his gaze to her with a smile.
"Come, let's go and get something to eat and I'll tell you!"
"So…Shin Woo hyung's in danger?"
Jeremy nodded, speaking between bites of food. "The woman said she told the killer Shin Woo hyung's name, so he knows who his target is now."
Jeremy swallowed the food in his mouth, staring at Mi Nam. "Shin Woo hyung thought his victim was you at first and he went out to search for you. Tae Kyung brought him back though."
"Oh." Mi Nam said. She then seemed to think for a while, before saying, "But you said to Jolie just now he's out with Yoo He Yi…"
"Yeah…Tae Kyung hyung received a call from Yoo He Yi; she has the ring he helped Shin Woo- I mean, Joo Eun put on for the press conference," Jeremy explained. He frowned. "I don't know what she said, but I think she threatened him, and Tae Kyung agreed to let Shin- Joo Eun meet her."
"So, he's out with her right now. Of course, she doesn't know it's Shin Woo hyung."
"But what about Shin Woo hyung? He has a serial killer after him, right? Won't he be in danger?" Mi Nam frowned. "Doesn't Hyung-nim care about his safety at all?!"
Jeremy couldn't help but grin at Mi Nam's words. "That was what I was thinking too!" He said with a nod. He raised his gaze in contemplation. "But like I told Jolie just now…Tae Kyung said Shin Woo hyung will be okay because he'll be in his female disguise, so the killer won't recognize him." Jeremy nodded to himself.
"Oh." Mi Nam said. Her brown eyes softened and she turned her gaze to the tabletop. "But, I still can't help but be worried for him…"
She hesitated, before moving her gaze back to Jeremy. "Maybe I should call him? I mean; just to make sure he's alright…"
Jeremy shook his head. "I thought of that too, but you'd better not," he advised. "Shin Woo hyung's with Yoo He Yi right now. He's supposed to be Joo Eun, so if you call him, or Joo Eun's phone…"
"…I'll only create more trouble for him?"
Jeremy gave a nod. Mi Nam bit her lip. She took a bite of her food, chewing on it thoughtfully.
Jeremy looked at her, before he continued eating his own piece of food. The two members of A.N. JELL ate in silence for a while, thinking about the current situation with their bandmate and friend, and staring at the people around them who were leisurely strolling past; with their friends, lover, family…
Jeremy stared at Mi Nam. He was worried for Shin Woo, but he couldn't help but realize that this was one of the rare times he was alone with her. He knew she didn't love him right now, as he did her, but he was determined to do his best to win her heart.
"Did Shin Woo hyung say where he was going?"
Jeremy blinked. Realizing Mi Nam was talking to him, he answered quickly, "Yeah! He said Yoo He Yi wanted to meet Joo Eun at Myeong Dong!"
"Myeong Dong? Ah, that's the place where I ate the good food!" Mi Nam said in realization at the memory, nodding to herself. She then turned her attention back to Jeremy. "Should we go there then?"
"What for?"
"To follow Shin Woo hyung and make sure he's alright with Yoo He Yi," Mi Nam said with some hesitance in her voice. "I want to make sure he's safe."
Jeremy sighed. "I'm worried for him too, but we can't do that, Mi Nam," he replied sadly. "Myeong Dong's really big; we don't know where they could have gone!"
"And besides, Shin Woo hyung would notice us if we were to follow him," Jeremy continued logically. "He would get distracted. And then Yoo He Yi would have a higher chance of finding out."
Mi Nam was silent, and Jeremy hesitated before speaking. "And…if she discovers us…she'll use you to make things more complicated..."
"What do you mean?"
Jeremy bit his lip. Maybe he shouldn't have brought this up. "The press conference; Mi Nam…Shin Woo hyung sang to you and it's in the paper."
"Tae Kyung hyung said…Joo Eun was in love with you once," Jeremy avoided Mi Nam's gaze. "Today, President Ahn showed us a picture of you watching Tae Kyung as he hugged Joo Eun; his girlfriend."
"You looked shocked…" Jeremy brought his gaze up to meet Mi Nam's surprised one. "And the reporter took that to mean as you're in love with Joo Eun. "
"He titled the article, 'Go Mi Nam, in love with Hwang Tae Kyung's girlfriend!?'" Jeremy revealed. "So you see, if we follow them and Yoo He Yi discovers, she'll use that to cause more trouble for not only Shin Woo hyung, but us too!"
"So in the end…whatever I do, I'll only cause trouble for Shin Woo hyung?"
"Eh? Ah, I don't mean that, Mi Nam!" Jeremy moved to comfort the depressed brunette. "It's not your fault at all!"
Mi Nam sniffed, but she managed a smile at Jeremy. "You're really smart and thoughtful, Jeremy. Even though you're worried for Shin Woo hyung like me, you're not rushing to do something to help him which will only end up troubling him in the end, like I am…"
"Mi Nam…"
"You don't think, do you?"
"Hyung-nim's right. I really don't think, do I?" Mi Nam whispered sadly. "I only do things I think are right but only end up causing trouble for the people I care about."
"…It's not your fault you hurt him, Mi Nam," Jeremy said seriously. "Shin Woo hyung doesn't blame you at all."
Mi Nam smiled sadly. "I know, Jeremy. He wouldn't blame me. He didn't blame me for all the stupid things I've done which hurt him."
Jeremy felt like asking Mi Nam what exactly had she done to hurt Shin Woo, but he kept quiet. He didn't want to make her anymore sad than she was then.
The blond hesitated, before bringing an arm around the brown haired girl and pulling her against his side. "It's alright, Mi Nam."
Mi Nam choked, before she started crying. Tears trailed down her face and she hid her face against Jeremy's shoulder, sobbing loudly.
Jeremy looked around. People were staring at them and he conjured up a bright smile, waving at them. They looked at him in surprise, before shrugging and continuing on their way.
Fortunately, there weren't any reporters or fans around. They had chosen as deserted a place to discuss about the current situation as possible, without it being completely abandoned.
"I'm really someone who's worse than a fool," Mi Nam said tearfully in between sobs. "I didn't notice- I wasn't able to notice, and now all I can do when I know is cry!"
"I cried with Manager Ma, and now I'm crying with you. I really am pathetic!"
"You're not pathetic, Mi Nam!" Jeremy reassured her as he ran her hand along her back comfortingly. He smiled. "It's okay to cry! It's not okay to keep things to yourself, you'll only end up feeling worse in the end."
Mi Nam cried for a little while more, and Jeremy held her consolingly. He watched as she withdrew from him, staring at him with tearful but determined eyes. "I-It's not okay to cry so much, Jeremy."
"But I won't cry anymore," she said, almost to herself as she gave a nod. Her brown eyes saddened at the memory. "Crying won't solve anything, after all."
"Well, crying helps you release your sadness so that you'll feel better after that!" Jeremy declared cheerfully. He gave the brunette a bright grin. "You feel better now, don't you Mi Nam?"
Mi Nam nodded with a hesitant smile. "Yeah…thanks Jeremy."
"No problem!" Jeremy replied, happy to see Mi Nam smiling again. He took hold of her arm, gently pulling her up from her seat.
"Jeremy…?"
Jeremy turned to her with a radiant smile, similar to the one he had given her when she was down with her feelings for Tae Kyung.
"Don't worry about Shin Woo hyung, Mi Nam. Let's just relax and have some fun!"
"Hwaiting, Mi Nam! Go go, Go Mi Nam!"
Mi Nam grinned. She aimed carefully, before throwing the ball, which dropped neatly into the hoop, earning a loud whoop from Jeremy.
"Woah, nice one!" Jeremy yelled excitedly. "Don't stop, Mi Nam! Continue!"
Mi Nam nodded. She picked up the next basketball, throwing it into the hoop easily. Just as she did that, two more basketballs came rolling down. The brunette picked up one in each of her hands, tossing them one after another into the goal.
"Wow, double shot!" Jeremy cheered loudly. "Cool!"
He watched, grinning in contentment and admiration as Mi Nam shot the basketballs into the now moving hoop, barely missing. She was smiling and laughing, and her performance had attracted the attention of the other people in the arcade who stared at the petite brunette, impressed.
When the time for the game had finally run out, Jeremy ran up to Mi Nam. He leaned forward, scanning her score in red.
"215!?" He exclaimed in surprise. "You almost beat my high score!"
There was the sound of clapping at the announcement and a few wolf whistles, causing Mi Nam to blush. But she couldn't help but chuckle at Jeremy's wide eyes. She tilted her head to the side, sweat sliding down her neck. The brunette smiled. "What's your high score, Jeremy?"
"237 I think," the blond said after a moment of contemplation. He frowned a little. "It's been so long since I've played this game, so I've forgotten…"
"Wow, that's really high!" Mi Nam said. She smiled, impressed. "I'm more than 20 points away from you!"
Jeremy grinned, pleased at Mi Nam's compliment. "Thanks, but you're a first timer aren't you, Mi Nam?" He pointed out. "To get such a high score on your first try…that's already very good!"
"Really?" Mi Nam flushed, embarrassed. But she was smiling sheepishly. "But I was just throwing the balls in the hoop like you told me to…"
"Well, you must have a natural talent for Basketball then!" Jeremy declared as he led her away from the machine. "Have you played Basketball before, Mi Nam?"
Mi Nam nodded. "I played with Oppa when I was younger; it was our favorite game when we were young," she smiled fondly at the memory. "We always beat all the other kids at the orphanage."
"…Oh." Jeremy started slightly in surprise at Mi Nam mentioning she lived in an orphanage, recalling how she had once mentioned it in the past in a completely different situation.
But then he remembered how she had been looking for her mother, and decided not to ask. This was supposed to be a happy occasion after all! He wouldn't bring the past up to Mi Nam if it made her sad.
Thus he decided to change the topic before Mi Nam became sad again. "Hey Mi Nam, don't tell Tae Kyung this, but you're actually better than him at Basketball!"
Mi Nam looked surprised. "I am?!"
"Yeah!" Jeremy nodded in agreement. He grinned mischievously. "The reason Tae Kyung hyung doesn't go to the arcade much is because he isn't good at most of the games here…"
"Really? I didn't know that…" Mi Nam said in wonder, but she too was smiling.
"Yup, so if he bullies you in badminton like the last time, you can just challenge him to Basketball!" Jeremy smirked slyly. "You'll win for sure!"
Mi Nam's smile widened. "I'll remember that." She said simply.
"Though, I'm not sure if I'll get a chance to do so," she thought wistfully. But the brunette kept the thought to herself, instead asking curiously. "What about Shin Woo hyung?"
Jeremy blinked at Mi Nam's sudden question. "Shin Woo hyung?"
"Yeah, is he good at Basketball too, or?"
The blond sighed. "Yeah, Shin Woo hyung's good at Basketball; better than me actually."
"Really!?"
"His last score was 251…I think," Jeremy said, frowning. "His hands were moving so fast, and it was like he had perfect aim!"
"He's crazy! He must have cheated somehow."
"Wow…is Shin Woo hyung really that good?" Mi Nam asked, amazed.
"Yeah…he even often beats me in the actual game," Jeremy said. He pouted unhappily. "But I bet that's because he's taller! He has an unfair advantage over me!"
"But Jeremy…you said that I'll be able to beat Hyung-nim in Basketball…" Mi Nam started hesitantly. "He's much taller than me though!"
Jeremy blinked. "That's true," he said. "But Tae Kyung hyung has bad aim; even if he can keep the ball away from you and reach the net faster than you can, he won't be able to score a goal easily."
"I see…"
Jeremy grinned. "You know, we should let Tae Kyung play a game of Basketball with Shin Woo hyung one day," he said suddenly. "Shin Woo hyung will beat him flat; it'll be fun to watch!"
"That's not nice, Jeremy." Mi Nam said, but she couldn't deny that the thought was somewhat appealing.
Jeremy pouted. "Well, it'll teach Tae Kyung not to treat his own bandmate so badly!" He said stubbornly. "He doesn't care even when Shin Woo hyung's in danger!"
Mi Nam couldn't help but laugh. Jeremy pouting was so funny and cute, but at the same time so familiar and oddly refreshing. It reminded her of the blond's usual antics, and how he was always so bright and happy.
She smiled. Tae Kyung was the brightest Star in her heart, but Jeremy was like the Sun in her life. He was always smiling, cheering her up when she was sad. He let her see things in a more optimistic and brighter light, and she never could resist smiling and even grinning when she had been sad before, when she was with him.
"Thank you, Jeremy." Mi Nam said sincerely, from the bottom of her heart. She let a small grin cross her lips. "I really am having a lot of fun right now!"
Jeremy blinked. He then grinned. "Really? That's good!" He said, laughter in his voice.
The blond directed Mi Nam over to another section of the arcade. "Shall we try that game, Mi Nam? It's really fun!"
"Oh okay…how do I play it?"
"Easy! You just get on it and drive!" Jeremy instructed, before proceeding to demonstrate. "Like this!"
Mi Nam nodded. She carefully climbed onto the motorcycle, grasping onto the handlebars tightly.
"What do I do next?"
"Well…"
Jeremy hadn't started playing yet, and he descended from his motorcycle, putting in a token and helping her start the game. It wasn't long before the game started and Mi Nam gasped in surprise.
"Eh, Jeremy, how do I control this?" She asked frantically. The brunette's motorcycle fell to the left, and she panicked. "Ah, I'm going to crash!"
"No you aren't!" With those words, Jeremy quickly pulled her motorcycle to the right, before pushing it to the centre. He grinned. "See? You're alright!"
He then made his way over to the motorcycle which he has just gotten down from, heaving himself on top of it again. Jeremy started the game with ease with his own token. He looked over at Mi Nam as he waited for the race to begin.
"Just relax, Mi Nam! It's all fun, right?" He called over to her cheerfully. "It's just a game, nothing really bad will happen even if you do crash!"
Mi Nam looked surprised for a moment, before she smiled, nodding in agreement. "You're right, Jeremy!"
Jeremy returned her smile. The race had begun and he turned his attention back to the screen.
Being a real motorist and a frequent visitor of the arcade, it was relatively easy for Jeremy to emerge the victor in the motorcycle race. He grinned in satisfaction.
Hearing the sound of a crash, the blond shifted his gaze to Mi Nam. She was frowning in concentration as she inserted a token into the machine, starting the game again.
The race soon started and Jeremy took the time to observe Mi Nam. He watched as she bit her lip, steadying herself on the arcade vehicle and gripping the handlebars tightly, brown eyes narrowed in determination.
He couldn't help but grin. Despite what he had said about it being just a game, she was still determined to learn. That was one of the things he liked about her; she was always willing to try new things, and was always doing her best in whatever she did, even if she was not initially good at it.
Despite her feminine appearance and gentle personality, Go Mi Nam had a hidden well of confidence and a strong spirit; which was one of the things which made her special to Jeremy.
"I did it! I did it, Jeremy!"
"Woah, you managed to get 1st place on your 2nd try!?" Jeremy exclaimed. He leaned over from his motorcycle excitedly. "Let me see!"
Mi Nam shook her head, smiling. "Actually, it's my fifth try, and I got 2nd place," she grinned sheepishly. "I was last at first though."
"2nd place? Well, that's not too bad either!" Jeremy said with a smile. "Do you want to try again?"
Mi Nam carefully slid herself off the motorcycle, before turning to Jeremy.
"It's alright, I'm already happy with being second," She said softly, a smile on her face. "I don't have to win."
Jeremy stared, blinking. He had the feeling she was talking about something else.
"Oh, well, that's okay then!" He smiled brightly but genuinely, meeting her eyes.
"You'll always be first to me anyway."
A surprised expression crossed Mi Nam's features. She felt her heart skip a beat at Jeremy's words and the sincerity in his hazel eyes. "Jeremy…"
She swallowed, before starting hesitantly. "Jeremy…what if I'm going away?"
"Eh? What?! You're going away!?" Jeremy's eyes widened in surprise and disbelief and he reached forward to clap his hands on Mi Nam's shoulders anxiously. "Why?! When!? Where are you going?!"
"I-I mean, hypothetically;" Mi Nam corrected quickly at Jeremy's worried expression. "I'm just saying, what if, for some reason, I had to leave?"
"Oh. Well, I'll be very sad, of course!" Jeremy said honestly. He sniffed sadly at the thought. "I would miss you a lot, Mi Nam!"
"I will miss you too Jeremy." Mi Nam murmured in a voice too soft even for Jeremy's sharp ears. She smiled sadly, before a thought came to her.
"Jeremy, can I take a picture of you?"
Jeremy blinked. "If you want to take a photo of me, the modeling fees will be expensive," he said somewhat seriously, though his lips were itching to form a smile. Mi Nam blinked, and he grinned. "But since we're bandmates and friends I'll give it to you for free!"
Mi Nam beamed brightly. "Thank you, Jeremy!"
Jeremy returned her wide smile with a grin, before he frowned, his hand on his chin. "But I don't have a camera though…"
"It's alright, I have one." Mi Nam said, taking out the camera Manager Ma had given her as a gift; to store memories of her soon to be previous life with A.N. JELL.
"Oh! Shall we take a picture of us together then?" Jeremy asked excitedly.
Mi Nam blinked. "But I want to take a picture of just you…"
"You can do that later!" Mi Nam started as Jeremy slung an arm around her shoulders, pulling her against him. "Smile, Mi Nam!"
Mi Nam blinked again. She turned her gaze to Jeremy, who was flashing the camera his best and brightest grin. She found herself smiling at the familiar sight, and moved the camera in an angle that would capture the both of them together in a picture she knew she would treasure forever.
There was a flash as Mi Nam pressed the button. When the bright light was gone, Jeremy leaned forward eagerly. "Let's see it, Mi Nam!"
The camera was one that could print out the photos it took instantly, and Mi Nam picked their photo up, showing it to her excited companion.
"Here."
Jeremy smiled as he gazed at the photo. Even in a photo, he could tell that Mi Nam's smile was genuine. It was one which spoke of contentment and happiness, and the blond himself felt happy to see that Mi Nam was happy with him.
"Can I keep this, Mi Nam? Please?" He pleaded. "I'll let you take as many photos of me as you like!"
Mi Nam had wanted to keep the photo in memory of Jeremy's bright smile, but she didn't mind giving it to Jeremy at all. "Sure."
"Yay!" Jeremy cheered happily. He received the photo from Mi Nam, delight shining in his hazel eyes. "Thanks a lot, Mi Nam!"
Mi Nam was surprised as Jeremy grabbed her in an overjoyed hug. But she smiled, reaching her arms out to cross his back in a hesitant return of his bear hug.
Hugging Jeremy made her mind wander to the moment when she had hugged Tae Kyung on his birthday. Mi Nam bit her lip, brushing the thought away. She was with Jeremy now; thinking of Tae Kyung would only make her feel sad, and it would be selfish and rude to be sad because of Tae Kyung when she was with Jeremy.
Jeremy grinned as he held Mi Nam close to him. She had hugged him back! And this time, she wasn't sad; which made the hug all the more better!
Though, he eventually had to withdraw. But he was still smiling happily as he did; feeling happier than he had in the past few days.
Mi Nam smiled contentedly at the sight of Jeremy's smile. She didn't need to have that photo to remind her of Jeremy's smile; she knew she would always remember him. She would always remember the Sun who had shone his light radiantly on her, making her feel happy and warm, forever.
"Can I take a photo of you now, Jeremy?" She asked after a while.
"Sure, like I said you can take as many photos of me as you want!" The blond agreed readily. A mischievous smile crossed his lips and he moved to pose. "Photographer Go, what kind of expression would you like?"
"Should I give you a sexy expression?" At this the idol narrowed his hazel eyes in a serious stare that would send his fan girls screaming their lungs out.
"Or a cute expression?"
Mi Nam giggled as Jeremy widened his eyes and stuck out his bottom lip in an adorable pout. "It's okay, Jeremy! Just your usual expression will do! And I only need one photo."
Jeremy blinked. "Oh. But it's a photo of me only; so I have to look cool right?"
"Ah, wait, I have an idea!" Mi Nam watched curiously as Jeremy made his way towards the motorcycle on the left. He lifted his leg, raising himself up onto it, balancing precariously on the narrow and slippery seat.
"Jeremy, what are you doing?!" Mi Nam cried out in panic. "Come down from there! It's dangerous!"
"Relax Mi Nam!" Jeremy reassured as he moved his leg, stretching his hand out in a pose, a smile on his face. "I'll be fine- WOAH!"
"Jeremy!"
"Ouch…" the blond groaned in pain. He blinked his eyes open, just in time for a flash to assault his vision.
"Jeremy, are you alright?" Mi Nam asked worriedly, moving closer to him. "Are you hurt anywhere?"
Jeremy stared at her. "Mi Nam, did you just take a picture of me?"
"Eh?" Mi Nam turned her gaze to her camera, which had produced a new photo. Her eyes widened. "I'm sorry Jeremy, I didn't mean to! I must have accidentally pressed the button-"
"Well, let's see it anyway," Jeremy said, getting up from his unceremonious landing against the motorcycle. He made his way over to Mi Nam and she showed him the picture.
"Hmmm…it's not so bad, except for my position, I look like I just saw something surprising," Jeremy said in observation. "It's not good enough, though!"
"Throw it away, Mi Nam. I'll give you a much nicer one!"
"Um…can I not?"
"…What?" Jeremy stared at her disbelievingly. "You want to keep that?!"
"I mean, I don't mind, but I'm not exactly photogenic in that!"
"That doesn't matter," Mi Nam said simply. She smiled genuinely at Jeremy, a fond light in her eyes. "Jeremy, you're funny, nice, clumsy but smart. You've cheered me up many times just by being there for me, and…"
"…And?"
Mi Nam's smile widened. She held up the candid shot of Jeremy's cutely surprised expression after he had accidentally fallen off the motorcycle.
"Jeremy, you look the best when you look as you normally do."
"Tae Kyung, Tae Kyung!"
Tae Kyung resisted the urge to roll his eyes. He took off his headphones, looking up in annoyance. "What?"
"Where are the others?" Manager Ma, who had barged into the recording studio, asked almost anxiously.
"Shin Woo's out, and Jeremy's outside." Tae Kyung replied shortly.
Manager Ma scratched his head. "Really? I didn't see Jeremy outside though!" He said thoughtfully. "When is Shin Woo coming back?"
"I don't know, he's on a date…" a wry smirk crossed the vocalist's lips, "with his girlfriend."
"Again? Wasn't he on a date with his girlfriend yesterday evening?" Manager Ma asked disbelievingly.
"He told President Ahn it was cut short because she had to go home early," Tae Kyung lied easily. "So he's probably making up for her early departure today."
"Oh." Manager Ma blinked. He then remembered what he had come for. "Well, since I can't find Jeremy and we don't know when Shin Woo will be back, I'll just have to tell you and you'll relay it to the others okay?"
"What is it?"
Manager Ma grinned. It was a wide, happy grin which spoke of immense relief at what Tae Kyung assumed to be fortunate news. His next words took the vocalist by surprise.
"Go Mi Nam- the real one, is coming back."
That was quite a light chapter, save for the end, maybe. I just rewatched Episode 14 of the drama so I'm trying to follow it a little. But the next chapter should be pretty dark...so I hope you guys won't mind too much. :)
