My Heart and Seoul (7): Fans and Weirdness..

The adrenaline was slowly wearing off as the police arrived. We were all questioned and the body of the creeper was taken away. Once I noticed my surroundings again I saw I cut my lower leg, and bruised the upper part. The knife must've grazed me. So I got stitched up and bandaged, much to my chagrin as they cut my skinny jeans. I know I have an unhealthy love for them, let me live. Lishi was fussing over me like a mother hen, and the boys were all being checked out now just as a precaution cause some of them were really shocked.

"You just busted out some Jackie Chan moves where did that come from?" Lishi questioned poking my leg which was propped up.

The amount of painkillers I took made my leg feel like nothing. Strong painkillers god bless. We were still at the area of course, but I was in an ambulance.

"I have no fucking clue. Might've been something I learned from my childhood." I said honestly. Lishi knows all about my memory loss, she and I used to make up fun conspiracy theories.

"See the more we learn the more you sound like you're a gang leader's daughter." She laughed, it made me laugh too.

"Yes I'm part of the mafia." I wiggled my fingers trying to be spooky. We both laughed a little longer before we noticed the boys coming back.

The younger ones were still pale in the face, and the older ones looked shocked. Well being almost killed does that to a person ya know? They eyed my bandaged leg.

"It's fine I can walk it was just a slightly deep cut." I reassured them. They all relaxed slightly, and I motioned for them to come forward. Jaehyun came close and pulled out a blanket, which made me raise an eyebrow.

"Ah um... I didn't want you to be cold so I got this at the shop over here." He said smiling awkwardly.

"Aw thanks that's really nice of you, first the hoodie now this are you trying to make me a burrito?" I teased poking his cheek. He let out what sounded like a laugh and a snort.

"Have to take care of my noona don't I?" He said poking my cheek in retaliation.

"Ugh please don't call me that I'm only two years older than you. Just call me Rae." I said. But it really was cold tonight, even though it was summer.

"Jisoo called and said our Busan signing is still on, but if you're not feeling up to it you can stay home?" He said once again looking concerned at my leg.

"I've had worse it's fine." I said waving him off. A cut like this is nothing, when I came to Aunt Ina I had several broken ribs, a dislocated shoulder and I cracked my skull. God knows how I ended up like that but the pain from it was something I won't be able to forget even if I tried. Lishi turned instantly from her conversation with Daehyun to glare at me.

"You nearly DIE and you say you're fine? Should I smack you around myself? Would you stay in then? One day I'll get grey hairs because of you..." She said smacking my shoulder.

"Aw you love me so much, love you too bestie." I said squishing her in a hug. She was smushed by my blanket.

She sighed but I could tell she wasn't that mad at me. We've both agreed that we'd stick together, and it's been about 6-7 years since then so we're still besties. Although I haven't made it easy for her with my magnet for dangerous things. Chuckling at my thoughts I released her and checked my phone again. This time I was going to message Unknown back.

R: How did you know what was going to happen tonight?

Unknown: I know everything.

R: Are you on my side or trying to kill me?

Unknown: no I just randomly cryptically warn everyone.

R: okay..... thanks for it either way.

Unknown: 👍

Well I have an ally, sort of. It's better than knowing nothing. I shouldn't get too dependent on it either way, who knows what could happen in the future.

"Okay guys time to go home! And off to bed immediately we leave at 5:30!" I said finally lifting myself off to stand.

There were small shooting pains but nothing painkillers couldn't fix. The guys groaned annoyed, which was relieving because it means they snapped out of the shocked state.

"Rae-noona you were so cool! That was so scary with the guy and you just beat him up!" The young teen in Lishi's group came up to me excitedly. I sighed with a smile, well he's young he won't understand...

"Go back to the dorms and sleep, maybe I'll teach you those moves." My words made his eyes sparkle and he almost sprinted back to his group. Ah cute kid.

"Your apartment is a bit far why don't you stay with us for tonight since it's late?" Lamon suggested. Lishi looked at me with a raised eyebrow.

"It's better than walking all the way back in this darkness. The boys are giving me a ride back so I'll be fine." Lishi said nudging me towards my group.

"Fine, I'll call Seohyun so she won't be worried either." I said giving her a hug once more and walking back to my group.

"Are you sure you're good to go?" Minjae spoke up seeing my slight limp.

"I'm a tough girl, I'll be fine!" I said reassuring him. He smiled and we gave each other a thumbs up.

We made it back to their dorms which was more like an apartment with loads of rooms. There was one spare, apparently because it used to belong to an old trainee who was going to debut in Snow but never did. The room itself was nice and fairly well maintained, but once I sat on the bed I yawned with all the tiredness that finally overtook me. I barely remembered to put an alarm on before I knocked out.

"AHHHHHHHHHH!" I was awoken by an ungodly scream next to my ears making me all off the bed completely onto the floor. Effectively banging my leg which made me hiss in pain.

"THERES A DAMN SPIDER IN THE HOME EVACUATE!!!!!" I looked up tiredly to see a completely terrified Yamato in the doorway. Sighing I got up, I was still dressed in my clothes from the night before. Following his lead I saw a small spider on the bathroom sink.

"It's a tiny little thing it's not going to hurt you." I said picking it up with a tissue.

"Well bullets are small as well!" He countered hiding behind me, looking at the small spider with absolute hatred. Throwing it out I checked the time. It was about 4:47am so a little before what I planned to wake up at.

"Yamato you wake up everyone I'll get started on breakfast." We had to leave by 6am and make it by 8:30.

Cause the fan sign starts at 9:30. Then the boys need to get back by 12 so they can go on Idol Master at 2pm. After that it's once more dance practice for three hours, vocal for another three and language learning for an hour and a half. So our day ends at 9:30 with a late dinner.

First after Yamato to wake up was Minjae. He greeted me and left to get ready. Then a half dressed Lamon walked into the kitchen, screeched when he saw me because he was only wearing his boxers and a tank top, and ran back inside. To be honest at this point we've gone through too much to be phased. And I've only known them for 2 days my goodness.... the rest filed in shortly thankfully fully dressed. I just made some simple stuff like rice and some soup and one giant omelette to split between us all. I couldn't make much more cause of time and that the fridge was in need of stocking.

"Wow this looks so good!" Jaehyun praised sitting down. He was dressed in regular attire which was a green polo shirt and some black jeans. The boys were all wearing the same thing but in different colours.

"Well I don't look presentable at all as your caretaker." I said jokingly, because I was still wearing my skirt and the hoodie. The skirt was uncomfortable to sleep in but I was too tired to take it off. Also a good factor since Yamato burst into the room screaming bloody murder about the spider.

"Oh wait here!" Minjae said getting up and running to his room. He came out five minutes later with some skinny jeans and a really oversized red dress shirt plus a black skinny belt. I took the women's clothing from him with a raised eyebrow and he blushed.

"Well we did a whole gender bend show doing a girl group dance... anyways these should fit you hopefully." He laughed at the end and sat down to finish his part of the food. I went off to get changed and came back to help the boys finish up getting ready.

"Okay let's head out! Wait Seungho you don't have a mask come on!" I said pulling one out from my pocket and passing it to him.

"Ah you're so helpful like a mom. Should I call you Eomma Rae instead?" He said as he put it on, making me snort. Very ladylike I know. I guess I do take care of people in a motherly way.

"Okay people lets do this your fans love you and you love your fans!" We all cheered before heading out to the van.

It was 6:14am when we set out, and we were half way there now. It's 8 so Lishi should be waking up soon, and being amazing I called her up.

R: It's a bright and sunny day here in Busan, temperatures are set to be 27 degrees with few clouds

A: burn in Hell for waking me up.

R: aww don't you love me?

A: debatable....

R: aww so mean. 

A: sigh why did you decide to call me?

R: I wanted to check up on you and Seohyun!

I heard shuffling in the back and the sound of a phone being tossed and hitting a bed. Along with something that sounded like "you deal with her" Lishi isn't a morning person.

S: RAE!!

R: Hey bestie! How's it going?

S: Ooh it's going great. I just got promoted to Senior Design Leader!

Oh my Lord that's so amazing. Seohyun worked in a gaming company, in their design team. She's crazy talented, so being promoted was destined for her.

R: aw I'm so glad, when I come back home I'll make some desserts for us to celebrate!

S: desserts and a promotion? Sounds like my lucky day indeed! I also found some apartments that were gonna look at this Sunday since I checked yours and Lishi's schedule that's a day off.

Damn she's also very efficient, she has everything sorted out to a T. If you've lost anything she'd have a list of like five different places where it could be within seconds.

R: alright, we're about to stop at the venue so I'll talk later okay?

S: get me Lamon's autograph!

R: hahaha sure

Saying goodbye and hanging up I looked up to see we've actually finally stopped. Which is great because I was squished in between Daehyun and Jaehyun. Getting out we noticed a bunch of fans at the main entrance.

"Okay so you guys go in the back quickly and quietly before anyone notices!" I said pushing them towards the back entrance.

Some quick fans spotted them however and sprinted over, so we leaned towards the entrance and locked it firmly behind us.

The boys got ready with some stylists and make up artists that were already there. This was more of a fan meeting actually, with some pre-signed items that's being sold. They were gonna preform two songs, talk for a while, preform another two, do some fan "twitter dares" and then one final song before they go.

I snuck out just before the fan sign to a nearby shop to get some lunch snacks because we didn't bring anything before. And I couldn't make any lunch. I bought fruit pots, yoghurts and some bread rolls. I came back just as they were about to get on so I waved to them for good luck and they went out to meet their screaming fans. I decided to record a little on my phone after they did the first two songs.

"DAEHYUN-OPPA!!!!!" One fan screeched loudly, and I could see a neon pink bra fly and hit him in the face. I burst out laughing at the scene. He was flustered and red faced throwing it back to the fans. They saluted and did their introduction.

"Beautiful like snowflakes! Hi we are SNOW!"

"Hi everyone! I hope everyone had a great morning so far!" Everyone cheered at Minjae's words.

"We came all the way here just for you!" Daehyun added sending some finger hearts to the fans. A couch way brought out, and a screen descended so the guys decided to answer twitter and Instagram questions.

"Who is the scaredy cat in the group?" Lamon read out. Everyone immediately turned to Yamato.

"Hey I'm tough you know!" He protested putting out his chest.

"Don't lie hyung! You were screaming your head off this morning! This guy got scared because of a tiny spider and screamed for R- I mean Daehyun to help." Seungho laughed, nearly exposing my name to the fans.

Oh dear honey... sometimes I kind of want to pet him because he's so precious and smol but he's actually 17. But Seungho didn't even need to worry about the slip up because the next question made my heart drop.

"Who was this yesterday?" By a random twitter user with a picture of me and the boys on our way to the restaurant. It was a real close up shot and I was laughing about something Minjae said. My face was on full display so the boys couldn't even argue that it wasn't me.

Well fuck. I swear every day I spend a day with this group I end up in some kind of mess....
