Rumi's eyes looked around as the security in front of her checked Youngjae and hers ticket. "Here." The man said handing two bands one for her and other for Youngjae. Both of them put it on as other security lady guided them inside. "Rumi-ya, where are we going?" Youngjae whispered locking their arms together. "To our seats." Rumi nonchalantly answered her eyes still taking in each thing around her. "And what's with you with suddenly? Are you nervous or something?" She asked feeling Youngjae's grip on her tightening each step they took inside.
"I am." Youngjae said but his voice was drowned in the noise as soon as they stepped inside the stadium. "Wah they are loud!" Youngjae shouted over. Rumi chuckled nodding her head. She had heard worse at Seventeen's concert. "Never been to a concert before?" Rumi asked. She thought he had been considering how huge fan of kpop he is. Youngjae shook his head. "Do I look like someone who has time or money to go?" He replied shouting over all the noise. True, Rumi thought nodding her head. "But are you sure you got these tickets from one of the members; they are not some dupes are they?" Youngjae asked making Rumi roll her eyes.
"Really oppa? Do you think we would have gotten inside with dupes!?"
"Who knows? Didn't you say someone had gotten in with a staff id before during Seventeen's concert?" He pulled her closer so he wouldn't have to shout.
"It was a legit one. Not a dupe." Rumi answered when she felt her phone vibrating in her pocket. Rumi moved her arm to take it out but Youngjae's death grip didn't let her "Squeeze any harder and it might break." Rumi said sighing and used her other hand. It was Hoshi. "Why is he now calling for? I can't hear shit here." Rumi muttered receiving the call. "Eo?" She asked.
"Are you already at concert?!" He shouted over, Rumi pulled the phone away from her ear for a second before putting it on again. "Why didn't you come with us?! Shouldn't you drive us here?" He asked. Rumi furrowed her eyebrows, what shit is he on about? Did he dialled wrong number? "Rumi-ya?!" Seems like he did not.
"Stop shouting. I can hear you." Rumi replied. "And why should I drive you anywhere?" She asked looking for him since he seemed to be at same location with noise coming from the background.
"Forget that. Where are you? I can't see you. What are you wearing?" Hoshi asked from other side. "Clothes." Rumi replied. "Yah, would you come naked? Obviously clothes but what clothes?!" Rumi leaned back and saw groups of guys on other side of rows of seat.
Covered from top to bottom, hats, and masks. "It's not hard to recognize you guys though." Rumi said noticing Hoshi with phone stuck to his ear. "Look to your right." He did as Rumi waved her fingers saying hello. Hoshi hung up and started making his way towards them. "Oppa, come on." Rumi said meeting him half way. "Does hat and mask makes you less noticeable?" Rumi asked smirking at Hoshi who rolled his eyes and removed his mask.
"Being cautious does." He answered noticing an unfamiliar guy standing beside. He smiled and bowed politely towards him. Who? He mouthed to Rumi. "Ah?" Rumi smiled and pulled Youngjae forward; the guy had decided on not letting go of Rumi's arm. "This is Kim Youngjae. My-"
"Hyung?" A voice cut her off.
"Wonwoo-ya." Wonwoo walked towards them, a surprised look on his face upon seeing familiar Youngjae. Rumi took in a deep breath, there goes her heart again. Will it ever stop doing that? She thought staring at Wonwoo who fixed his glasses as he greeted Youngjae and glanced at Rumi. Their eyes met for a second before he averted them. Hurts. Rumi bit her lips averting her own eyes. "Ah? Rumi said she had tickets and asked me to come along." Youngjae said nudging Rumi while bringing her out of her thoughts.
"Mwo? Ah, ye." Rumi nodded looking at Wonwoo again since he seemed to have asked the question. Wonwoo looked at her and this time didn't averted them until Hoshi asked. "You seemed to know each other." He asked looking at Wonwoo and Youngjae.
Wonwoo nodded his head. "This is Youngjae hyung. Rumi-ssi's oppa." Wonwoo answered introducing both of them. Hoshi made a 'ah' sound nodding his head and greeting Youngjae respectfully again. "Annyeonghaseyo. I am Kwon Soon Young." He greeted putting out his hand. Youngjae smiled and nervously shook his hand. Rumi covered her mouth to hide her laughter at nervous Youngjae. She knew Youngjae was practically screaming inside his head. Her eyes met Wonwoo's who was also trying his best to hold his laughter. Both of them shared a look before letting out a chuckle of their own. Hoshi and Youngjae looked at them in question. "Nothing. Hyung let me introduce to others, come on." Wonwoo quickly said pointing behind him.
"But I am not ready-" "You wanted to meet them right? Here you can grab my arm." Rumi whispered grinning and offering her arm. Youngjae helplessly looked at her and grabbed on her arm. Rumi chuckled and followed Wonwoo and Hoshi.
"Rumi you are here." It was Jeonghan who greeted her first. Rumi nodded bowing towards him and other members. Mingyu, Minghao, Dokyeom and Seungkwan were there. "That guy's impatience was too much." Jeonghan said nodding towards Hoshi. Rumi looked at him and rolled her eyes. "He is troublesome." She commented.
"Can you stop bullying me, already? You can't be collaborating with him; you are my best friend not his." Hoshi piped. Says who? Rumi mouthed. "Yah!" Rumi laughed.
"Aarso. Um, Jeonghan-ssi let me introduce to my oppa. Oppa." Rumi smiled pulling Youngjae in front. "Everyone this is Kim Youngjae." Youngjae mentally cursed Rumi for suddenly bringing all the attention to him. He nervously smiled and greeted the boys who greeted back politely.
"Yoon Jeonghan." Jeonghan said bowing his hand. "Oppa as in..."
"Older brother." Youngjae answered with a smile which he couldn't shake off his face. "And it's an honour to meet you all." Rumi let out a snicker at that earning looks from the boys. She covered her mouth and waved her hand asking them to ignore her. "Umm well I am huge fan, actually." Youngjae said fidgeting with his fingers.
"Wah, jinja?" Hoshi asked putting his hand over Youngjae's shoulder. "Rumi didn't say anything about that before?" Rumi rolled her eyes that. "Well, it's an honour to meet you to Youngjae hyung considering you live with that?" Hoshi said nodding towards Rumi.
"That?! Yah, what are you implying here?" Rumi asked narrowing her eyes at him. Mwo? Hoshi taunted smirking at her.
"Your older brother is fan; you work for our company yet Rumi-ssi can't remember our names." Minghao said stopping Hoshi and Rumi's little taunting game. Rumi gave him a guilty smile.
"Yes, do you know she still calls Mingyu taller one and Coups leader-nim." Jeonghan said as if complaining to her older brother. "Do you remember any of our names?" He asked. "I remember Jeonghan-ssi's name." She winked smiling at him.
"She's ignorant like that. To many things actually." Youngjae commented. "Oppa!" Rumi turned towards him offended. "Some times I think I live with a stone age man." He continued as others snickered at that.
"She tends to behave like that, right?" Hoshi asked smirking at Rumi making her roll her eyes.
"Hahaha. Oppa since you all look quite acquainted then excuse me." Rumi said ready to leave. "Yah eodiga?" Youngjae grabbed on her arm again. Rumi looked at his grip and glanced at the boys. "I need to look for Hyun." She whispered before speaking loudly. "Washroom." She said looking at others and removing his hand from hers. "Stay with them and remember to think before you speak. Don't go saying things you shouldn't." She warned him once again; ride here from home she had given him quite a list of instructions. "Guys, I'll leave him in your care then. Excuse me." She smiled giving one last look to Wonwoo who was already staring at her but soon looked away avoiding her. Rumi mentally sighed. Now, this is how it's going be right? She thought.
Rumi followed along the direction written on the wall. "He was supposed to be at other entrance, right?" She asked herself making her way there. Only if that bastard had let her come along that day then she would have known the venue at back of her hand. Rumi stopped at the intersection, entrance E3 and E4. "How many entrance does this stadium has?" Rumi scratched her head. "Must be at one of these two right? Should I just text him?" Rumi pulled out her phone again ready to call him.
"Rumi?" Take the name of devil's and he's here. There came Hyun striding towards her. "What the hell you are doing here?" He asked pulling her aside while cautiously looking around. Luckily there were only few members of crew around, no one familiar with Rumi or company. "Captain said you were out for this one." He whisper shouted.
"And I heard him damn well that time." Rumi rolled her eyes shaking of his grip. "I came for concert." She said showing her wrist band. "Stupid Gu Hwa. Too many people know your face you can't be there. What about you? Too many people know your face too." She argued squeezing his cheeks with one hand.
Hyun grumbled removing her hand. "Because unlike you I am from security department. I can be seen here not you." He said her hand still in his. "Between how did you get the tickets? They are Vip." He asked holding up her hand to look at wrist band. "One of the members gave to me." Rumi answered. "How are things going here?" Rumi asked nodded towards the crew running from here and there. "So far good." Hyun replied as Rumi made a face. "Mwo? Do you not want them to?"
"Ani I just wanted to come along. That bastard is too much. Who is going to recognize me here?" Rumi asked. Hyun stared at her. "Mwo? Why are looking at me like that?"
"You really wanted to come along? Weren't you just saying the other day that your labour is taken advantage of? Or is it just because Captain said you can't so to go against him you are here?"
"Yah! Don't you think you are starting to understand me well these days?" Both laughed at her comment. "Well part of the reason was that and other was making up with oppa. He was upset with me so I bribed him with tickets." She explained chuckling remembering the nervous look Youngjae had on when she left him with boys. "He is currently with Hoshi and others." Hyun nodded before commenting.
"Aren't you getting quite chummy with Soon Young-ssi. Do you know your closeness with them is the reason why you are here not with me right now?"
"Ah well that closeness can come in handy someday you k-"
"Rumi what are you doing here?" Both of them turned around to see another member of the said boys. "Chan? What are you doing here?" Rumi asked back narrowing her eyes at him. "What do you mean? I am here for concert." He answered showing his band. "What you are doing he-" He noticed the same band on her wrist and also the way Hyun was holding her hand. Hyun quickly let go of her hand and cleared his throat looking away. Rumi furrowed her eyebrows wondering what's with him suddenly.
"How come you are here? Why I didn't see you with your brothers?" She asked glancing at Hyun who nodded in understanding, bowed towards Chan and quietly left. "Because I arrived just now?" Chan replied looking at Hyun who walked away. Rumi put her arm around his shoulder and turned him around. "Then what are you doing here, hmm? Entrance is that way."
Chan rolled his eyes. "I know. I was looking for washroom when I saw you and Hyun-ssi." Chan said nodding towards where she and Hyun were standing seconds ago. "Really? I was also looking for washroom then I saw Hyun. What a coincident right?" Rumi smiled as both of them started making their way towards washroom. "Hmm a coincident." Chan hummed staring at her. "How come you are without your manager? Shouldn't he be with you?" Rumi questioned but was clearly ignored when he threw his own question. "Be honest, the one you slapped and asked to leave was Hyun-ssi right?"
"Huh? Slapped? What are yo-ah..." She pressed her lips together before taking the opportunity served to her. "Eo, it's him." She nodded her head. Better than him finding out it was his dear brother, right?
"So, you talked to him! What did he say?!" He excitedly turned to her. Rumi gave him once over. What is he so excited about? "Did he say yes? It looked like he did, with you standing hands in hands like this." He said taking her hands in his imitating them. Corner of her mouth quirked up. "So, are you dating now?!" He asked shaking her hands.
"Ani." Rumi replied flatly. His smile fell along with his grip on her hands. "Because you got it all wrong. It is true that was him I was talking about." Look at her lying to her teeth. "But the feeling part is not what you really thought. When I said I couldn't take it anymore, I meant my anger. If he had stood there for anymore seconds then I would've done more than just slapping his hand away." More like slamming her lips on his. "I have really bad habit of taking out my anger on anyone near me. I was stressed that time and he happened to be around." Rumi explained looking away. Chan narrowed his eyes.
"Then what were you doing right now? Hands in hands?" Chan asked.
"Talking? Aren't we talking too? Hands in hands." Rumi replied shrugging her shoulder. "That was because I was imi-" She cut him off. "Do you want to pee your pants? Didn't you say it was urgent?" Rumi quickly changed the topic turning him around and pushing him towards the men's room. "Be quick." She said before herself stepping into washroom.
"This kid is too meddlesome." She muttered turning on tap and washing her hands. "And what was he so excited for?" She chuckled drying her hands under dryer.
Rumi waited for few moments before walking out. She leaned against the wall outside waiting for Chan to come out. How long was he holding in for? She thought checking her watch. "Is he taking a shit or what?" Rumi walked towards the door and knocked on the door ready to call out for him. "Chan are yo-"
"AISH SSIBAL!" A scream was heard, enough for Rumi to push apart the door and walk in. The door slammed against the wall as Rumi walked in ready to put down anyone in her way. "Chan-ah!" She exclaimed looking at stunned Chan standing against the sink. "What? Are you hurt?" She asked checking for any wounds on his body. She cupped his face. "Can you hear me?" She asked since he didn't respond to her questions. "I can." Chan nodded still stunned. "Okay. Who was it?" She turned around wildly looking for someone, there was only one guy beside Chan in washroom. "You!" She barked ready to pounce on him when Chan grabbed her arm.
"M-mwo? Mwo?" The guy stuttered trying his best to hide himself in the urinal pot. "Michin-this is men's room!" Rumi glanced down realizing. "Mwo!? Mwo?! Where are you looking at?! You byuntae?!" The man screamed turning his lower half away from her.
"Noona what are you doing in here?" Chan pulled her back making her look at him. "What? I heard you scream. I thought someone attacked you." Rumi answered before turning back to the man, who seemed to have finished his business. "Was it him?" She asked pointing at him. "It was no one. Nothing happened, no one attacked anyone here." Chan answered.
"Crazy woman." The man cursed at her while rushing out of the washroom. Rumi watched him walk away. "Is he not gonna wash his hands? Are you not going wash your hands?!" She called out behind him.
"You really are crazy." Chan commented. "What were you even thinking storming inside a men's room." He shook his head. "I wasn't. I thought you were hurt, the way you screamed." Rumi replied. Chan rolled his eyes. "Since you are okay and done then let's go." Rumi said walking towards the door. "I can't." Rumi stopped and knitted her eyebrows. "You said you were not hurt-" She noticed him standing stuck to sink while his hand covering his backside all this time. "Did you shat you pants?" She asked.
"Aniya!" Chan exclaimed his cheeks turning pink. Rumi walked back to him. "It's just that my pants..." He trailed off when Rumi grabbed his arm and tried to turned him around. "Aniya! Noona jamkkanman!" He struggled against her but she successfully turned him around uncovering his backside. "Wah...they are gone." Rumi commented looking at the large piece of his pants hanging on the single corner exposing his blue underpants. "Did you fart or something?" She asked looked up at Chan who had found refuge in hiding his face in hands. "Jinja! This is so embarrassing." He muttered. "You. Aish!" He cried covering his backside again.
"What? Are you embarrassed because of me?" Rumi asked.
"Obviously?!" He screamed turning his back to sink. Rumi smirked. "I can still see your blue underwear in mirror." She teased nodding towards the mirror behind him. "Noona!" He yelled turning away from the mirror. "Aish, you kid. What are you embarrassed about? It's just I saw your underwear and everybody wears them. Do you want to see mine so you will feel less embarrassed." Rumi laughed. "You are unbelievable!" Chan scowled at her laughter his cheeks turning redder.
She has no shame at all. He thought when she started unbuttoning her shirt. "Ah! What are you doing?!" He screamed squeezing his eyes close. Rumi laughed again looking at him turned away eyes closed. "Showing you my underwear." She teased removing her shirt. She was wearing an undershirt so she could do without her shirt. Rumi put her shirt around Chan waist. "Move your hands." She instructed nudging his arms. Chan peeked open his eye and looked at Rumi standing in front of him. "What? Do you really wanted to see my underwear?" She teased again noticing him looking at her undershirt.
"Aniyo!" He blushed removing his hands. Rumi chuckled tying her shirt around his waist. His t-shirt was long but not long enough to cover his torn pants. "Let me see." Chan turned around as she asked. "Hmm, it's good." She nodded; Chan shyly turned back to her. "Gomawoyo, noona." He muttered. Rumi hummed patting his shoulder. "Let's go." Chan nodded and the pair made back to the stadium.
