Chapter 20

When they come back home, it's 8.00 p.m.

"Ah! What a busy day!" said Young Soo and sat on their couch. He likes comfortable things. So, he lied down on their couch.

"Hey! Give me someplace to sit," said Kang Min.

"The girl was of a different type. wasn't she?" said Jeong Eun to Tae Jin.

"Yes, she was different from other girls," said Tae Jin.

"But she was good," said Chi Won.

"Okay, now forget about the girl and tell me how you get out of the car and fled away?" asked Ha Joon.

"I didn't want to flee. I just wanted to get my phone back," said Tae Jin smilingly. "Your phone was lost?" surprised Jung Hwa. Tae Jin replied affirmatively and began to tell them about that night. Everyone listened to him with curiosity. Tae Jin told them how he ran back of the car and how those girls surrounded him, how Eun saved him twice.

"Whoa, she saved you from the robbers!" surprised Chi Won, Jeong Eun and Jung Hwa. Kang Min and Ha Joon were also surprised but they didn't show it. Tae Jin wanted to tell them the whole story of those days but suddenly Woo Jin came with a dangerous face. By seeing him, Tae Jin and all of them got afraid. Tae Jin had reason to afraid of him. But why others were afraid of him, he couldn't understand.

"Where were you for all day?" asked Woo Jin. He didn't notice Tae Jin because he was in the middle of everyone. Everyone moved aside and Tae Jin came up in front of him.

"Tae Jin!" surprised Woo Jin. Seeing him, his anger reduced. Suddenly he did a thing that anyone could not believe that he was doing this. He pulled Tae Jin to him and hugged him like a baby. Tae Jin was so surprised that he could not talk. He was standing quiet. Where were you? You don't know how we suffered for you. We searched for you everywhere." telling this he stopped. Suddenly his voice got stable and said again, "Didn't you even think of communicating with us? You! What could I say to you? Where were you?" Tae Jin's face got pale and he could not say anything. He just looked on the floor.

"What? The floor will answer me? Do you know how much we had to suffer for you?" asked Woo Jin again.

"I am sorry." said Tae Jin with an unclear voice.

"You are sorry? Now, what would we do by your sorry? What are you going to answer to public now?" said Woo Jin with anger

"I don't know." said Tae Jin shortly.

"Ah! You don't know! Seriously? Why you do this all the time? Why do you mess up things all time? When will you understand that what are you and how you have to act like? Don't you see Jeong Eun? He is 100 time mature than you." said Woo Jin with anger. Tae Jin still could not talk. He could not match his eyes with anyone.

"Answer me!" shouted Woo Jin. All of the members were silent yet. But now, they could not keep silence anymore. When Woo Jin shouted at Tae Jin, Tae Jin got scared and emotional. Seeing that Kang Min said to Woo Jin,

"Why are you acting like this?"

"Oh! Now you teach me how to behave with others?" asked Woo Jin with a harsh voice.

"No, but why are you yelling at him? He got afraid. You know, he was in danger? How he got out from there? What if something terrible happened to him?" said Kang Min loudly.

"Oh! Okay now tell me where were all of you since morning?" said Woo Jin. Now, his voice gets soft and he could not shout any more.

"We were going to bring him back." replied Ha Joon.

"Oh, really! That's great!" said Woo Jin with a weird smile. Everyone looked at him and surprised. Why he is like this? Why he smiled, anyone could not understand. "And you don't feel that you need to let me know? How could you do this? Why you are all acting like this? I just can't understand. When you will listene to me!" said Woo Jin. Now, he said with a angry voice. Everyone could understand the meaning of his smile.

"We wanted to tell you but we didn't get time." said Ha Joon.

"Ah! you didn't get time! Then, why are you all using phone? Just throw it as garbage." said Woo Jin. He was so angry that his face turned red out of anger. Now, Jeong Eun talked to their manager, "We are sorry. We all were so excited by founding Tae Jin that we forgot to inform you. It won't happen next time." By Jeong's word Woo Jin was satisfied and calmed down.

"Okay, go now and get some rest. We will meet tomorrow morning in the practice room. I have to go home now." saying this Woo Jin left. They all left to their own rooms. Tae Jin also came to his own room. Tae Jin came and laid on his bed. How much he missed his bed for those days! He thinks. His room was quite big. He didn't see such a room anywhere there, Eun's room was not too small but it was not too big. And in the village there were too small rooms. So, he feels comfortable here. But suddenly he thinks that could afford ever afford a big house? Then he answered himself "No, she can't." While thinking of these things he fell asleep. There were three more persons who were thinking about her. But it's their secret. They liked the girl. And when they listened about her braveness, they liked her more than before. So, they also thought about her. The next day morning, when Tae Jin woke up, it's late. He remembered about last night and Woo Jin. So, he got fresh up so quickly and came to practice hall as soon as possible. The other members were there before he came. Woo Jin was talking and everyone was listening.

"Oh! You are here? Come and stand there beside Eun." said Woo Jin.

"Beside who?" asked Tae Jin surprisingly. Jeong Eun, our JE.

"Did you forget about him in these days?" asked Woo Jin being surprised and little angry.

"Ah! Okay. But why will I forget about him? You never mentioned him on that name before." said Tae Jin with a simple voice. Woo Jin thought that Tae Jin was telling the truth, he never called him as Eun, he always calls him as Jeong or JE. So, he could not argue with Tae Jin. We have scheduled a concert tomorrow. You haven't done any practice for some days. Now, everything is fine and we have to go back to our normal activities. So, I have done a little bit changes in your daily routine." said Woo Jin with a clear voice.

"Oh! What the change is?" asked Ha Joon and Kang Min.

"You all have to wake up at 6.00am of morning, then you will go to the near park for jogging. And after that you have to take egg and soup for breakfast, no bread will be allowed. Got it? Then you have to go to the salon regularly. There will be no break even for one day. After that you have to come to practice hall and then you can spend some time for yourself. But, whenever I call you, you have to respond as quick as possible. And the last thing is, you have to inform me whatever you do or whatever you will do. Got it?" saying these, Woo Jin stopped.

"What if we have to go to washroom?" asked Chi Won and smiled. Jeong Eun poked him with his arm and said slowly, "You! Just listen to him quietly, why you are making fun of him?" But hearing Woo Jin's answer everyone surprised. They didn't think he will give that answer.

"Good question. You are free in this house. But if you have to go anywhere even washroom outside of the house, you have to inform me." said Woo Jin simply.

"Okay, but can't you increase the time of waking up?" asked Young Soo. Before today, they all get up 8.00 am of morning. And as a sleep freak, Young Soo will not be able to woke up at 6am of morning.

"No, not at all. You have to go to bed early and wake up early. Any more questions? Anyone?" asked Woo Jin. What about our garden?

"Why we have to go to the Park? Before we used to jog at our garden. It's huge in size. We don't need to go to the Park when we have such a big garden." said Jung Hwa slowly with an unclear voice.

"You think you can understand much better than me?" asked Woo Jin.

"No, I was just saying." replied Jung Hwa.

"So, you have to listen my every word. You can't disobey me, anytime. Now, go to the salon. I have some new arrangement for you there." said Woo Jin and on his way to left. Tae Jin felt that he is in a cage now like a pet bird. He was so free these days. He did whatever he want. No one was there to tell him not to do this, not to do that or do this, do that. He miss those days now. He thinks that if he could spent one more day like that!

"Tae Jin! Are you listening? I am calling you." said Woo Jin. He was on his way to leave but he returned for some reason. "What? What happened?" asked Tae Jin. "A lot of things happened. If anyone ask you where were you then what would you reply? Where were you?" asked Woo Jin. Tae Jin thought that if he suggests anything right now, he will get angry. So, it's good for him to stay quiet.

"I don't know." said Tee Jin shortly. "Good. You will tell them that you were in London. And you learned a lot about singing and songs. And how to write songs. Am I clear?" said Woo Jin and left.

"Ooh, he is off now. I can't take him anymore. He was not like that before. Why is he acting like this now?" said Kang Min. He was silent till then. He barely can bear his behavior.

"Maybe something happened to him or maybe it's for our good." said Young Soo.

"Ah! For fuck's sake, why can't he let us be!." said Chi Won. "Hey! slow down. If he listened to you swearing like this, he will kill you." said Tae Jin.

"Guys, we have to go to the salon right now, please come with me." said Ha Joon. All of them left the room and went to the salon. There were some ladies in work. There were seven seats for them and some extra seats for the staffs. Many new things of K-beauty were there and the whole room was surrounded by mirror. There were some cameras too. Wherever they go, there are some cameras to capture there moments. Tae Jin noticed it for the first time. "How much money we earn by our moments?" he thought.

"Take your seats. You have to spend one hour here." said Woo Jin and left from there. Tae Jin took a seat and a lady come to him and started her job. Tae Jin had to close his eyes because the lady was applying something on his face. Maybe a facial mask. He opened his one eye and saw that everyone is applying this.

"What is it for?" asked Tae Jin to the lady. It will help your skin to stay fresh and beautiful and your skin will be glowing for all days." said the lady. Tae Jin didn't reply, He closed his eyes once again and felt something cold in his face. Suddenly he remembers about Eun. That day, she applied ice on his face. She was so close to him. Remembering that, his heart started pounding.

"Now, you have to stay like this for 10 minutes." said the lady and left. Tae Jin was thinking a lot of things closing his eyes. He remembers how he met that girl. How he could enjoy a normal life because of her. He also remembers the night when they were in New York. What a wonderful night that was! If only he didn't call the girl, maybe his life would be just like before. Suddenly he opened his eyes and said, "Oh, No! I have to sort things out."

"What?" asked Kang Min with a simple voice. About that night in New York. I remember, I called the girl from my phone. So, I have her number."
