A/N: This is a bit of a filler chapter with Shin Woo/Coordinator.


Chapter Six

Needing some fresh air and time away from Mi Nam and Jeremy's incessant bickering, Shin Woo headed out first. With a gap in his schedule giving him a wonderful amount of free time, he wanted to just walk around Seoul as a normal person.

He heard the last bits of Mi Nam and Jeremy's argument, while shutting the door behind him, chuckling to himself because Tae Kyung had to deal with it. Glad it's not me that has to deal with the brunt of their shenanigans. How is it even possible for two people to argue so much?

Even though Shin Woo had to admit it was quite amusing to both him and Tae Kyung, he couldn't grasp why Mi Nam was so mean to Jeremy on a daily basis. The man had asked questions regarding this topic quite a few times, but Mi Nam's answers weren't satisfactory to him at all.

"Why do I torment hyung? Honestly? Ah, he's so fun play around with. He's like a 24-hour toy."

Before he got down the stairs to his car however, he heard Tae Kyung's voice. "Hey, Shin Woo!"

Immediately turning around, he saw his bandmate at the top of the staircase. "Yeah, hyung?"

"What's going on with those two?"

"Jeremy drank too much. I don't know about Mi Nam."

"I'm beginning to doubt Mi Nam's sanity." He paused. "Seriously, they seem to be arguing more than usual. They never fought at breakfast."

"That's because you've never come to breakfast, hyung. Trust me, they do." The only time they didn't was in front of the fans and reporters. "You forget the time we were with President Ahn and they went at it over a doughnut?"

"Ah, I suppose that's true too." He remembered that moment all too well. Even though the President found it humorous, Tae Kyung still ended up getting scolded by him because of his bandmates' behavior.

"Jeremy declared war on Mi Nam the other day."

"Declared war?" Tae Kyung wanted to facepalm. Were they 5 year olds?

"He came stomping in the house swearing he was going to get revenge. I'm not going to intervene in whatever happens next."

"I hope you stay true to that, Shin Woo." Tae Kyung said. Shin Woo had somehow kept peace between the two men, singlehandedly. "Because it should be very entertaining to sit back and watch."

"Maybe." Shin Woo had his doubts. If it got any worse he was sure his band would surely start to disintegrate. "See you later, Tae Kyung."

"Drive safe." And with that, Shin Woo got in his car and set off. To where, he wasn't quite sure.

After an hour of aimless driving, Shin Woo ended up in the downtown shopping district. With the twins in mind, he drove slowly enough through the streets so that he could get an impression of what some of the shops sold. He suddenly recalled the time Mi Nyu was practically drooling over a pair of pumps she had seen on television. Maybe I could give her another pair? No. That would be ridiculous. I should just get something different. Ah, and Mi Nam! What could I even get that kid?

At that instant a little of image Jeremy popped in his head. "I'll tell you what he needs Shin Woo hyung!" He sneered. "To stay away from my stuff!"

A funny thought came into his head at that thought. I should get Jeremy a present instead? Maybe when Mi Nam tries to touch his stuff he could use an electric shock alarm. But in some way, Shin Woo knew, the situation would be reversed and Jeremy would be the one tortured. He canceled that idea. It would be throwing more fuel into the fire.

Parking his car in a space, he quickly got out- the strong scent of food instantly hitting his nostrils. The man felt a similar tingling sensation in the pit of his stomach. Maybe I'll just get a little food for thought. His favorite restaurant was only about a block away.

Taking a step onto the pavement, he begins his journey. He was happy to be out among people. The man only takes a couple of more steps before he is bumped into so harshly that he nearly tumbles the the ground.

Another smell hit his nostrils, something heavy yet sweet, as he gained composure. Turning to the stranger, he recognizes that it's a woman- and a pretty and tall one at that.

"Excuse me!" The lady said, bowing to him. "I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!"

She had such a familiar voice. "Its fine-" Shin Woo took a good look at her when she finally ceased bowing. "Coordinator Wang?"

Coordinator seemed out of her element as she attempted to calm her breathing. Her peach shirt was somewhat wet at the top and her half open jacket showed little sweat stains under her arms. She had been running for awhile, that much he could tell. Her body language gave Shin Woo the impression she wasn't in a good state of mind, stressed and maybe even panicked to some extent.

"Shin Woo?" She cocked her head to the side a bit, not believing it was truly him.

"What's going on? You seem-"

"That? I'll explain later." She gave a quick glance back over her shoulder before grabbing his arm. "Let's go?"

He didn't really question her as to why-following her lead through the seemingly endless crowds of people. He didn't mind running with her. It was like he was in a drama.

Maybe there's some psycho following her? "Stalker?"

"Something like that." She looked behind them again before pulling them into the very next shop she saw with an open door, which just so happened to be an ice cream parlor.

"How convenient. I was hungry." Shin Woo observed his surroundings. It had a comfortable atmosphere, minus the few people that were staring at their dramatic entrance.

"I'm sorry again for getting you into this." She sighed, letting her grip on his arm go. Shin Woo was quite relieved at this, for her grip on him was quite strong. "It's just… I had to get away from him."

"It's fine. Let's have a seat."

Shin Woo lead the way to a table near the back of the parlor, trying to stay low key as possible. He pulled the chair out for her. "Thank you." Coordinator said as she took a seat. Shin Woo is such a gentleman; why can't I land a man like him?

"What I would like to know is," Shin Woo began as he sat down, "just why you're running away and who you're running from?"

"My boyfriend- no, my ex-boyfriend." She answered as she played with one of the menus on the table. "This time I really thought I landed a really good man. Only…"

"Only?"

"We got into an argument- over something really trivial. Apparently, he's got in his head that it's okay to hit women."

"Oh." Shin Woo knew that Coordinator's current boyfriend wasn't all the great- mostly from Mi Nam when he was in one of his gossipy moods.

"The gall of that man, I will never understand."

"He didn't hit you did he?" Shin Woo pondered. There was no way-

"He tried. Do you really think I'd let him?"

A sense of relief washed over him upon hearing her response. "Then, I'm glad you didn't put him in the hospital." Shin Woo joked lightly to try to lift the mood. The man or woman responsible for causing her any harm, rather it was physical or verbal, would wish they had cut of their own hands instead of messing with her.

"I should've. He deserves it. But, you know, I really don't want to go to jail. I like my job too much."

"I'm glad to hear that." Shin Woo picked up his own menu, only looking at a couple of items before deciding to get an ice cream sundae.

"Anyway, he's not gifted in the athletic department so I figured I'd just lose him on the way to my car. But I was in such a rush and-"

"You forgot where you parked?"

"Actually, my car got towed. I parked in the wrong place. I was only supposed to be in there for ten minutes at best. So, I ran after the tow truck. That driver acted like he didn't see me! Then I decided to just take the bus to the impound lot. That's when I found out my boyfriend had followed me the whole way. Just as I was getting to the bus, I ran into you. My car is going to have to wait. I have a cramp from all this running."

It shocked Shin Woo to think Coordinator was in any kind of situation like that. "Why didn't you call the m- cops?" Shin Woo almost slipped up. Me? Was I really about to say that?

"Who needs cops when I have perfectly capable hands and feet? It's not like they could've done anything for me."

Shin Woo couldn't even come up with a response at first. "You're very admirable."

"Thank you. Most people tell me I'm aggressive." She laughed. "But he's the one who knew I was on track and in Tae Kwon Do in high school. Yet he still provoked me."

"As long as you're all right?"

"He only grabbed me by the arm."

"Are you two ready to order?" A waitress finally came around.

"I'll have the ice cream sundae." The two said simultaneously.

Coordinator Wang glanced over at Shin Woo in disbelief. "You were thinking ice cream sundae, too?"

"It's good stress reliever." He shrugged. What a coincidence.

"You two are such a cute couple! Would you like to order one extra large sundae instead of the two?"

"We're not a couple." Coordinator replied hastily with a don't-make-that-mistake-again tone.

"Oh." The waitress burned with embarrassment. "I'm so sorry ma'am; it's just that I thought..."

Coordinator shot daggers at the young waitress and she immediately stopped her babbling.

Shin Woo calmed the tension by accepting the offer. "I'm fine with one sundae, what about you noona?"

Coordinator was a bit surprised by the bassist's request. She tried to suppress the blush that was attempting to come up. Sharing an ice cream sundae with Shin Woo? Today might not be completely horrid after all.

"Sure." How could she say no?

"Then we'll have one." He smiled at to the waitress. By this point in time, she realized who he was- even though the disguise.

"Oh, okay sir. I'll get it right away." Her voice was like air, light as a she practically floated away to make their orders.

Coordinator Wang looked over at the girl and watched as she whispering in her co-worker's ear- both of them staring over to their table. Both of them jumped excitedly before getting to their work again.

"Your disguise sucks, Shin Woo." The man hadn't really tried all that hard to disguise his identity. He was only wearing glasses and a beanie. It was causal, almost teenage like. It was just enough to at least make people second guess if it was him."You look like you're seventeen."

"What's wrong with that?"

"The fan girls have noticed you."

He gazed over to the serving counter, spotting the girls Coordinator just had her eyes on. "I'm not Kang Shin Woo. I'm his younger brother. I hate it when people mistake me for him."

"You'd do better with one of those glasses with the nose and the moustache attached, Shin Woo's younger brother."

"Wouldn't that make that make me a bit too obvious, Coordinator?"

Just then, the Coordinator's phone began to ring. "Excuse me, I need to take this." Taking the phone out of her purse, she flipped it open and brought it to her ear. "Hello?"

Shin Woo could hear a loud whiny male voice on the other line. "Baby, please, forgive me. I was wrong-" She promptly slammed the phone shut.

"Those spam callers." She giggled nervously. "When are they going to get real jobs?"

Her phone rang again- her right eye beginning to twitch. The expression on her face told Shin Woo she would rather drop kick her phone into the ocean than answer it again. He watches her as she slowly opens it again, bringing it back up to her ear. In a angry yet muffled voice she mumbled, "Please stop calling."

She shut it once more, laying it on the table in front of them. Her eyes almost popped out of their sockets when it began to ring again.

Grabbing the phone, Shin Woo quickly located the power button and turned it off. "It's your day off today isn't it? This way no one can bother you for awhile."

He had never seen the woman look so relieved. "Thank you." Coordinator whispered, it was obvious that she was dangerously close to losing her cool.

Thankfully the waitress finally came back with the sundae, and sat it in down in front of them. "Here's your order. Please enjoy it!"

"Thank you." Coordinator Wang grabbed her spoon and dug in before Shin Woo could even blink.

"Mmm." She moaned. "Ice cream has got to be the best thing ever created by the human race." She shoveled the ice cream in her mouth, making sure to get both pieces of the banana and ice cream. Oddly enough, Shin Woo found that she still looked ladylike while doing so.

He grabbed his own spoon and began eating slowly, still watching Coordinator in amazement. She's going to get a brain freeze any minute now.

"Ah!" She stopped, dropping her spoon into the bowl. "Damn it." She cursed, holding her forehead.

"It's no competition." A laugh slipped out from Shin Woo's lips. "Eat slowly."

"It's so hard to eat slowly when there's this crazy amount of temptation just sitting in front of you!"

"Then, how about after this we go really eat?" There was something about Coordinator that made him just want to be around her more when she was like this, outside of work.

"Huh?"

"I'll go drive you to the impound lot to get your car too." He smiled. "But in return, I need the help of the honorable Stylist Wang to help me get gifts for the twins." Maybe doing this would get her mind off of her rotten ex?

"You're such a sweetheart, Shin Woo." Coordinator Wang said, picking her spoon back up. "I'd love to."
