Soon came the week before the MNET awards. They had to go to the Seoul Sports complex to rehearse their performance. They reached there early in the morning a little before their allotted time. they all wore comfortable clothes like sweatpants, shorts and t-shirts. They all made their way inside. They were there to test their backing track and the other equipment. They were using the head-worn mics. It was easier to dance with when wearing those as it freed up their arms. It took about half an hour for them to test their equipment and rehearse on stage.
They had to make sure that nothing goes wrong with the equipment as it could lead to major injuries. They left after confirming that's everything was okay. On their way out, they bumped into G-Dragon and T.O.P.
So-Young was still amazed how they looked so cool. She was no longer star-struck by them, but deeply respected and admired them. They all exchanged greetings and chatted a bit.
Both G-Dragon and T.O.P were grumbling about their maknae. They felt like he was spoiled too much. He was late again today. The girls found this funny and started giggling. The men had to leave as it was almost time for them to rehearse. The girls said their goodbyes and left.
Their manger decided to give them rest of the day off. He let them have a little bit of fun. This was a surprise for them as it required prior permission from the agency.
Dara: "Let is do something fun."
So-Young: "We have not spent our break together since a long time."
Bom: "Sure, even I want to do something other than continuously practicing. "
CL: " How about we take a walk in the park. "
Minzy: "Let's go to the amusement park. It'll be more fun. "
So-Young: " That sounds like a good idea but we have to make sure no one recognises us...."
Minzy: "YES! I always wanted to put on disguises. it feels like we are in a mystery novel!"
Dara: " My gosh! Min-Ji! What goes on in that head of yours?"
All of them agreed to go to the Amusement Park. The first bought some masks and caps. Luckily no one paid much attention to them.
They got the video camera So-Young got for her birthday. They planned on getting some content for the show they were shooting for. Luckily it was less crowded as it was a weekday. They did not have to queue up for the rides.
They first ride they were going on was not that scary. It was ship shaped and swung back and forth. It was an exhilarating experience. They all filmed each and every ride they went on. Minzy who was the most excited about this was actually the biggest scaredy-cat of the group. They got quite a few shots of her screaming on the top of her lungs. It was hilarious. By the end of the first few rides, Bom,Dara and Minzy were done. They all were tired and wanted to take a break. So, So-Young and CL went on the last ride.
The two of them were walking together and So-Young was holding the camera. They were filming while walking.
So-Young: " The three of them were excited but look at them now!"
CL: " especially Min-Ji. She was so scared. It looked like she was about to pass out!"
So-Young: " so now it's only the two of us left."
CL: "yup we are on a date. "
So-Young: "We are now going on the biggest roller coaster. Do you think we can do it?"
CL: " there are quite a few loops. I think I'll puke after the ride. "
So-Young filmed the roller coaster and looked at the camera with pleading eyes.
So-Young: "Please wish us all the best! We will see you soon."
The ride was over in a few minutes but it felt like hours to CL. She felt a bit nauseous after it. So-Young on the other hand thoroughly enjoyed herself. So-Young had to support CL a little bit while walking back to the spot where the rest of the girls were.
They sat down together and were saying their goodbyes. As they were about to stop filming, the heard a loud voice say
Girl 1: " IS THAT 2NE1???"
Girl 2: " OMG! SO-YOUNG AND CL!!!"
Their voices attracted the attention of some other people. Minzy started panicking. So-Young immediately signalled them to get up and they started walking away. The two girls started walking behind them and more people joined them. The girls started picking up their pace. The crowd followed. Soon, a chase began. All the girls were nervous. So-Young signalled for a taxi and shoved the girls in. Only Minzy,Bom and CL were able to get in when the crowd caught up. So-Young, slammed the door shut.
So-Young: " You guys leave first!"
With that she grabbed Dara's hand and started running.
As the people could not keep up with a taxi, they started chasing Dara and So-Young. Dara was out of breath in a few minutes so, So-Young had no choice but to carry her on her back. After dodging the group of people by going into random shops, they finally lost them. Both Dara and So-Young were exhausted and wearily made it back to the apartment.
All the girls were worried about the two of them. They had informed their manager about the incident and he had rushed over. After making sure that all of them were okay, he left to inform the higher ups. The girls plopped down on the sofa. They were really tired. Who would have thought that a day off would turn out like this. Luckily the people only chased them. Who knew what else could have happened.
So-Young then realised that her camera was still filming. It was attached to her hand the whole time as she had completely forgotten about it. She told the girls about it and they were eager to watch it together. It turned out that the whole chase was caught on camera. It was actually good quality footage. It was gold material content for their show. At least something good came out of the day's scare.
