Episode 2, part 1
Go Mi Nam is a girl? Shin Woo thought as he held her in his arms, unconscious.
What? Why is she pretending to be a boy? He looked around, Jeremy was already making his way down the hallway, struggling under the weight of Tae Kyung.
I'll think about it later, for now I've got to get her into the van without any reporters seeing… steeling himself, Shin Woo carried Mi Nam from the balcony and into the darkness of the club.
Shin Woo angled Mi Nam's body to the side of his, holding her up with only one arm, hopefully giving people the impression that she was conscious, and only a bit intoxicated. He quickly scanned the first floor for paparazzi from the relative darkness of the second floor hallway, and finding none, he motioned for Jeremy to make for the fire exit, as they would be empty. Jeremy quickly crossed to the fire exit door on the other side of the stairs, and waited for Shin Woo, as he couldn't open the door with Tae Kyung on his back. After another quick glance, Shin Woo half supported, half dragged Mi Nam's body across the hall and opened the door with his free hand, standing back for Jeremy to go first. After carefully closing the door behind them, Shin Woo heaved Mi Nam into both his arms, holding her to his chest as he quickly made his way down the stairs, and out the door to the cold night air.
Almost safe, he thought as he looked for the entrance to the car park, quickly spotting Jeremy struggling towards it. Shin Woo hurried over to him, calling him to a stop. He started more slowly as Shin Woo drew up to him, entering the car park with a reddening face, panting from the added deadweight of Tae Kyung.
"Anyone see you?"
"I…don't…think so…" Jeremy panted. Good, now for the dash to the van,
"We've got to get to the van quickly, take Tae Kyung first, I'll follow." He dropped Mi Nam's legs, supporting her on one arm again as they got closer to where the van was.
Jeremy just nodded, hitching Tae Kyung's body higher as he prepared to dash to the van.
Jeremy took off quickly, Shin Woo following closely, looking around for strangers in the lot that might take photos, or videos. Seeing nothing, he pushed Mi Nam into the van, Mission accomplished, He thought with a laugh as he sat beside Mi Nam. The driver looked at his unconscious charges for a moment before moving out onto the road, heading back to the dorm. Relaxing into his seat, Shin Woo turned his thoughts towards the unconscious girl beside him, thinking of possible reasons for her to disguise her gender and enter ANJELL.
After carrying helping carry Tae Kyung into the dorm, dumping him in the middle of the lounge with an exhausted Jeremy, Shin Woo returned for Mi Nam, carrying her in his arms again, ignoring the look they got from the driver, he was paid for silence. She really is light, he thought as he returned to the main room, finding Jeremy lightly snoring beside Tae Kyung. Shin Woo sighed, I'm too tired to carry them all to their rooms…lets just sleep here for tonight, they think Mi Nams a guy anyway. He carefully lowered Mi Nam onto the carpet and put a cushion under her head. Looking at Jeremy and Tae Kyung, he put cushions under their heads as well, grabbing one for himself. Fatigued from carrying around his band mates, he fell into a deep, dreamless sleep almost as soon as he lay down.
Go Mi Nyu blissfully opened her eyes, "Yes, this is still a dream."
Ah, I feel so refreshed, She yawned, such a lovely dream. She closed her eyes and rolled over, opening her eyes to a black object a few inches from her face. What's this? After identifying it as a shirt, her gaze travelled upwards and found a man's sleeping face.
She started, EH! WHAT? WHY AM I SLEEPING BESIDE A MAN? She turned over and saw another man's bare back and blonde hair. Stifling a scream, she quickly sat up, looking around, jumping when she located third man sleeping behind her. What happened last night? Why was I sleeping next to Mi Nam's band mates? Aish, my head hurts… I gotta get out! She panicked. Quickly standing up, she stumbled towards the hallway, almost tripping over Jeremy's prone form in the process.
"Wake up hyung…" Shin Woo was roused by Jeremy's hand gently shaking his yawned, and then sat up, looking around. Oh yeah, we slept in the main room this morning…
"Hyung, did you bring Mi Nam in last night? I fell asleep."
"Mi Nam?" he scratched his head. "Yeah, I put her-him between you and Tae Kyung." He cursed in his mind, hoping Jeremy didn't notice his slip of tongue.
"Ah, good, sorry for not helping you carry him, but I was so tired…" He looked sheepish. Shin Woo Sighed with relief inwardly. Cant have others finding her out yet, I've barely begun to enjoy the situation. He shook his head slightly and put on a light smile.
"It's fine, Mi Nam is quite light, so it wasn't a problem." Jeremy grinned and hugged him for a second before standing up and walking away, grabbing an orange from the kitchen before walking towards the deck.
Shin Woo stood up and looked around, he was alone. Tae Kyung must have dragged himself to his room at some point… Where did Mi Nam go? Hmm… Mi Nam should have a hangover, maybe some tea could help? And I could ask her about her 'secret'…
Decided, Shin Woo moved towards his room to change. What could her reason be? She doesn't seem to be much of a fan of us, if anything, she appears to be terrified of us…
Shin Woo pulled on a shirt and left his room, continuing to mull over the situation with Mi Nam as he walked into the kitchen and turned on the kettle. When it was boiling, he prepared his favourite herbal tea, and, sensing a presence by the door, he decided that it had to be Mi Nam, as Jeremy would've made his presence known verbally, and Tae Kyung wouldn't hang out by the door watching him.
"Come here and sit." He calmly told her without looking around, almost smiling when he heard her jump at his voice. Still the scared reaction, but entertaining all the same
"You're stomach will feel slightly better if you drink some warm tea" Shin Woo said as he poured the tea into two cups for them.
She shuffled over timidly before perching on the chair beside him. He placed a teacup in front of her before starting,
"Last night..." he sipped his tea as he searched for the right words, "…was tremendous," She tried to say something before I cut her off, "It was so incredibly absurd."
He smiled as he remembered how entertaining the last 30 minutes at the club was, especially his discovery, that information would make things unbelievably interesting later on, even after he told her he knew the secret.
"…So it was there…" She bowed her head in apology, "I apologize." She's apologizing…for?
"I went up to the roof because my head was hurting. I felt better because it was cool… but then?" She trailed off, looking thoughtful. Doesn't she remember? I wonder if she's run into Tae Kyung yet? I'll give her a reminder…
"But then… you fell on an unfortunate place?" He watched her as she started nodding furiously.
"Yes, however, for me, it was akin to fainting and falling onto the bare floor…" Shin Woo gulped his tea and tried not to laugh.
"Really? The bare floor?" He watched her face she tried to correct what she said
"Well, I'm not saying that you are a bare floor." She slowly said, searching for non-offensive words to describe her experience, "So, what I am saying is…" She gasped as she quickly launched into her explanation, "'Ah, I had a bad experience because of a rock that fell from the sky and hit me!' please think of it that way, I'm so sorry!" She bowed her head again. How does someone come up with that sort of explanation? She really is interesting. Shin Woo was still suppressing the urge to laugh. I'll play with her for a little longer before putting her on the right track.
"Really?" He was about to continue when Jeremy stormed in.
