Chapter 11
"We're home!" he said we just came back from our trip
"What's the time??" I asked
"9:45 pm…"
"I'll leave your bag here"
"Yeah… want some water?"
"Yes please…" I went to my fridge
He sat down on my coach
"Here's your water…" I also sat on the couch
"What's your schedule tomorrow?" he asked
"The usual, I'm at the hospital the whole day…"
"Will you be able to come home tomorrow??"
"That… I don't know, you? Are you going to be busy tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow, we have a photoshoot for our promotional banner for our tour…"
"Ooooh… Then you should sleep early so you'll look great tomorrow"
He pouted, 'what now?' I thought…
"I already look great no matter what…"
"Ohh… that confidence of yours though…"
He lied on the couch and put his head on my lap and closed his eye
"Can I stay here for a while?"
"Do I have my choice?" I started to stroke his hair
"No" he said and laughed
"Right! I remember… since we're dating now, it's our 16th anniversary as a group on Tuesday… we're having a dinner party, can I take you there so you could meet the boys? And so that I could introduce you as my girlfriend too…"
"I'll meet Limitless in person?!?!? You serious?!?!"
He opened his eyes
"Yes… But!! You only have to look at me…"
"How can I do that?? I'll be able to meet my idols!!" I tried to tease him…
"I changed my mind… Don't come…"
"Eyyy… I may look at them but of course I still feel way different for you…"
"Oooooh…." He stroked my hair and tucked it at the back of my ears…
"I'll pick you at 7 pm on Tuesday…"
"Okay…"
He stayed at my unit until 11 pm before he went inside his own unit…
"Shooo!!" I said while I try to pimp something that's bugging on my ear while I'm sleeping.
"Arrgghhh! Shooo!!!"
"Shoooo???!!"
���Ommo!!! YA!!! What are you doing in my room!!??" I threw a pillow at him
"It's already 7 am you'll be late!!" he said
"Really?!?!?"
"Take a bath now…" he threw my towel at me and dragged me to my bathroom…
"I prepared a breakfast, come down when you're done…"
I did what he said and I went down as soon as I fixed myself…
"Oooh… is it because you're going to be late that you only used 30 minutes fixing yourself more than usual?? Hahahaha!!"
"Thanks for waking me up…" I gave him a hug before I sat down on the dining table, he kissed me in my head in return.
"I thought about something last night…"
"What's that??"
"About what should we should call each other…like endearment?"
"Ouhhh! Cheesy again! But okay go ahead… what do you want to call me?"
"Gongju-nim" (Princess)
"Mwo!?" (What!?)
"hahaha!! No!! I'm serious… but I feel like calling you Jagiya sometimes" (honey)
"Call me both whenever you feel…and i'll do the same…"
"Here's your breakfast Gongju-nim…" he said with the sweetest voice
"Ooooh!! Thank you wangja-nim…" (Prince)
"No problem…"
He looked at me while we were eating…
I took the plate to the sink…
"Oh!! Just leave it there, I'll wash it before I leave for the practice later…"
"But…"
"Eyyy… you'll be late! Look!" he slowly flipped my wrist to show me the time on my watch
"Let me walk you to the hospital"
"Really?"
"Of course!!"
He walked me to the hospital…
"Let's just text each other from time to time"
He said with a smile and then he left.
"Eonni!! I mean Doc!! What was that?" Bona appeared from nowhere
"What??"
"Was that Brix Kim??"
"Ummm.. yes…"
"He walked you here?"
"ahhhh… yes…"
"Ooooh that's a first, you're dating now?"
"Huh?!?! Ummmm…"
"So, you're dating?!?!?"
"Ya!! Shhhh!!!" I covered her mouth
"Let's keep it between us for now…"
"Oooooh!!! I'm so happy for you doc!! My prediction was right… you'll end up falling for each other…"
"Either myself don't know what just happened…"
I have 3 minor operations and 1 major operation later. I won't be able to come home tonight that's why I sent Brix a message.
After the last message I continued with my work. Later on, I kept coming in and out of the operating room up to the last patient which I said to be our major operation. Well the last one went smoothly but since we started around 7 pm we ended around 11 pm. The day went by like that. And tomorrow's gonna be a fine day too…
Today, I'm going to meet the rest of Brix's members, I'm actually nervous and excited…
"Hey… what if they don't like me for you?" I asked while I try to put a light color of lipstick on…
"Why wouldn't they? My family even approved you already… so why would my members say no to you?" He said while he came closer looking at me while I put my lipstick. Yes, he's inside my office, he came to pick me up
"You already told your parents?!?!?"
"Yeah…"
"What was their reaction?"
"My mom said she knew we're meant for each other and to bring you to the house after our Japan tour."
"Oh… Your dad?"
"He said, to treat you nice and so that you'll really be his daughter in law"
"You're lying…"
"No seriously he said that… my younger brother wants to visit my house to see you, I actually showed him your picture he said you're a pretty surgeon and that you're similar to his ideal type… But I told him you're already mine…"
"Eyyyy stop flattering me…"
"No!! I'm serious…"
"I'm done…"
"Okay, let's go now"
We traveled for an hour well the place is just actually near but because of the traffic it took us long…
"Wait… how do I look?"
"Pretty"
"No! Wait! How's my hair??"
"It's fine"
"Wait…"
"What?"
"I'm nervous"
"Really?? Don't be…" he held my hand
"Ohhh!! Your hands are so cold!!" he rubbed his hands together and warmed mine…
"I guess they won't approve me and it's my first time seeing them really up close"
"Oooooh!! Is this how to date our fangirl?"
"Shut up… okay let's go down…"
We went inside and saw the members gathered together in one table…
"Oh Hyung!!" Brix greeted each member and I stood like a stone there.
I was mesmerized by how handsome they are in personal like waaaaa!!! I'm having dinner with them tonight!! Am I dreaming?!?!? Slap me please!!!
"Guys… This is my girlfriend Xia Alizondo Thoracic Surgeon from SSMC" he finally introduced me and I feel happy that he's proudly calling me his girlfriend.
"Hello, I'm Xia, I'm a fan of you guys since 2010… Anyway Happy 16th anniversary" I said as I handed down 3 boxes of wine that I bought earlier on the way here.
"Really you were our fan??!! We almost have the same name too" says Xian Kim the leader of the group
"Guys sitdown…" says Gabe Nam
We sat down and ate, after filling our stomachs they kept on asking me questions like each of them has at least 2 to 3 questions…
"You operated on him, right?" the youngest of the group, Ron Lee asked…
"Ahhh yes…"
"What did you feel seeing your idol at that state?"
"I was completely nervous and worried, at first I didn't know it was him because his face was completely covered with blood, I was also thinking of the fans worrying outside…"
"Oooh!! Brix you're lucky she was your doctor" Bryle Jang said
"I know right…" he suddenly leaned his head on my shoulders
"Woooooh!!!" everyone was teasing us including their managers and the CEO of their company
"We didn't know, he would become this sweet and like a baby when dating, we've never seen this side of him before" Renz Lee said…
"Oh really? Wasn't he like this with his… ummm…" I tried to tease Brix through asking this question
"Ex??" Ethan Lee continued
"Yeah"
"He's completely unlike this, he was dating but he looks like he has bigger problems than us who don't have girlfriends…" Xian said
"That's because that relationship wasn't as good as ours…" he said while he put his arms around my shoulders/
And the members continued teasing again
"Your relationship is actually great because it was blessed by the fans even before you were just friends, they supported the thought of you two dating…" Their CEO suddenly spoke
"Abbeoji!" Brix gave him a thumbs up (Abbeoji- [formal] Father)
"If you're wondering why we call him abbeoji it's because he's just like a father to all of us, you can call him like that too, right abbeoji?"
"Yes of course!! They're just like my kids"
"I knew you were calling him abeoji even before… And as their fan I'm thankful for taking care of them very well and I'd be privileged to call you that too…" I said
"Wooow!! Then we all should just start calling her shinui" (Shinui- sister in law) Ron Lee proposed.
"We agree" everyone raised their cans of beer and cheered
"Welcome to the family Xia" Jun CEO said.
"Thank you! CEO…"
"Oh!!" he reacted immediately
"I mean Abbeoji"
"That's right" he said and smiled
"Brix when do you plan on telling your fans? I mean, anyway they are all rooting for the both of you…" CEO Lee asked
"Soon, but don't worry abbeoji I'll let you know about it…"
"Shinui! Are you fine with that?" Bryle asked
"We actually talked about it and I should mind his fans and your group if it'll affect negatively or not so I'm perfectly fine with that…"
"Ooooh!! She's totally understanding!!" Xian said
"They won't mind anyways, in fact they were actually supportive when your first article came out, which surprised me that our fans supported you guys!" Ethan said
"I think I should just date one of my pretty fans too" Renz said.
"Ya!! You at least have to find someone like Xia" CEO Lee said after he flicked Renz's ear which was sitting next to him
The night was filled with laughter and went perfectly great, it's totally opposite of what I thought of. They welcomed me like they were having a new sister in the family… It was just a really great feeling to be accepted by his second family.
"Oppa, thank you for introducing me to them today…"
"Of course! When would be the right timing be other than this? Besides, I always talk about you to them so they're quite thrilled to meet you too… See!? You shouldn't have worried earlier."
"Yeah I'm glad they welcomed me warmly…"
He smiled and looked at me briefly and held my hand while he was driving.
"Anyway, even though it's late I want to go somewhere…"
"Where?"
"You'll see"
He kept on driving till we reached Namsan tower
"Oh? it's Namsan"
"Wanna stroll around?"
"sure"
We kept on walking and just kept on talking about trivial things.
"Oh?! the mailbox!!"
"You want to write something for each other? you know the mailbox, right?"
"yeah they send you the letters after a year"
"common let's write! I'll buy some pen and paper, wait here"
He finally returned from getting some paper and pen
"Here"
"Hey don't you dare peek on mine" I said
"ha! Don't peek on mine too"
I stayed away from him so he wouldn't be able to see what I'm writing…
"Ya!! What were you writing you looked so serious!!"
"Are you done?"
"yeah!" he said
"Let���s drop it" I said
"okay" we dropped the letters together
I don't know if we'll still be together when we receive our letters but I'm hoping for the best.
Weekend came fast so as my work in the hospital went so smoothly this week.
"Jagi!" (Jagi-Shortcut for Jagiya which means Honey or Sweetheart)
"Hmmm??" I said while stroking his hair. We're in my unit and he's lying on my lap after washing the dishes we used during our breakfast.
"Do you like cats?"
"I love pets! Whether it's a cat or a dog…"
"Really?!"
"Yeah!"
"It's a relief that you love them."
"Why?"
"I adopted another Russian Blue Kitten, I'm going to pick him up at 12 noon. Can you come with me?"
"Sure! But how about your first cat? You never brought him here…"
"My brother was taking care of him after my accident and he doesn't want to give him back to me now…" he laughed
"Hahaha!!Oh!! I see…"
"What will you name it?"
"Xia…"
"Wait!? I'm a cat now??!?!"
"Kidding!! I'll name him Snow"
"Why? You watched Stuart Little before?"
"No! Not that one… it's because I met you in the middle of the winter season, that's why, Snow."
"Oh… I'm touched…"
"You should be…" he tried to reach out for a kiss on the lips but I covered his mouth with my hand quickly…
"Eyyy…" he protested
"Not until you have my permission"
"Can I???" here comes his begging eyes and sweet voice again…
"Nooooo" I said and looked on the TV and suddenly….
*mwaaah!* he was still able to stole a kiss!
"Ya!!! Cheater!!" I pinched his cheeks
"Eyyy…" he said while smiling and comfortably lying back on my lap again…
We picked up Snow at exactly 12 noon at the shelter. There are actually a lot of cats there with different breeds.
"Snow! Bwa-ba ni omma-ya… Isn't she pretty?" (Snow! Look that's your mom) he said while stroking the kitten's head.
Snow is still a kitten and he's very tiny and cute!! I went near them and stroke his head too…
"Snow… that's your dad…He likes to steal kisses a lot! Scold him when he does that… hmmm??"
He gave us a cute "Meow" as if he understood what we said and he acted as if he wants to come to me that's why I took him.
"What a perfect portrait of a family adopting a pet! Finally! the rumors can be settled, Brix your fans will be happy about this…"
Ooooh… Someone who looks very nice and pretty appeared and it happens that they're close, who could she be?
"Ah!! Mrs. Jo!! Nice to see you again!" Brix greeted her.
"Anyway, Xia, she's the owner of this shelter and I've been donating cat food for almost 13 years here… Mrs. Jo she's Xia my girlfriend…"
"Oh… Nice to meet you ma'am…" I offered her a handshake which she received immediately
"I like her huh!! She's pretty and kind Brix! No wonder your fans like her… You chose a wonderful person."
"Hahahaha!! Thank you Mrs. Jo" Brix replied…
"I can see you took a same breed like your first cat, what did you name him this time?"
"I named him Snow."
"Any particular reasons?"
"I met Xia in the middle of the Winter Season, That's why…"
"Ya~~~ It's embarrassing…" I said
"Owww! That's too sweet for a guy like you Brix…"
"I have always been this sweet Mrs. Jo…"
"Well… fine if you say so… Hahahaha!!" she laughed… which made me smirk a little
"By the way we're going to take him now. We still need to buy things for him." He talked about Snow
"Okay! You'll be the parents of the cat so take good care of him okay?"
"Ne!" (Yes!) We both said in unison as we come out of the shelter
We went to the car. Brix opened the door for me and put his hand above my head so I won't bump my head on the car and get hurt because I was holding snow in my arms…
"Let's buy some things for him…"
"I agree…"
We went to a nearby Mall and looked for a pet section… Ooooh!! They have everything you need!!! It's actually a pet owner haven here!!
"Jagi!! Look!!" He's pointing on a cat bed
"I like it! That's cute…"
He took it out from the display and put it into the cart.
"We'll have to buy Bowel pads, right?" I asked
"Yeah…"
"Is this one good??"
"Yeah"
I took it out from the shelf… We walked while his arms are around me and I'm holding Snow. We made sure that we bought everything…
"You're Brix Kim, right?" A super young cashier asked.
"Ah... Yes, I am…"
"Is she finally your girlfriend now??"
We both just smiled at her…
"Wow!!! I'm happy for the both of you!!! I'll shut my mouth I promise…" she giggles
"Ahhahaha!!" we all three laughed
"Ahhh!! My hands are very rough but Eonni can I shake your hand?"
"Me?" I asked
"Yes… but I have cat fur on my hand is that okay?"
"Yes!! It's super fine…" I hand out my one hand
"Oh! your hands are pretty!! You've worked hard…" I said as I felt calluses on her hand, she must have led a hard life and I want to cheer her up…
"Uwaaaa!! You're super nice, I've shook hands with artists who come here but some were disgusted after shaking my hand because they're too rough…"
"Eyyyy, my hands were kinda rough too, weren't they? It's because we're working hard" I said and smiled.
"Here my gift"
"Ommo!! Thank you eonni!!"
She finished packing all the things, but before we left, I gave her a new hand cream which I always have on my bag… Not that I want to come nice to their eyes or it was just a show so they will not disapprove me dating Brix but it was because I wanted to cheer her up…
"Ooooh!! I didn't know you were really that nice…" Brix said
"She's pretty young and she's working hard, I want to cheer her up"
"I'm so glad you're my Girlfriend…"
"Stop flattering me… It won't work…"
"Oh really?!" he suddenly kissed me on the cheek while he was pushing the cart to the basement of the mall.
"Hey!"
"What?!?! Hahahaha!!!"
We went home, Brix carried all the stuffs to his unit and I followed him…
"I'll arrange the things you guys just play on the living room"
"Okay!"
While Brix was arranging Snow's things, we were playing at the living room…
"Yae bwa!" (Look at him!) I said
"hmmmm??" Brix went near
"He's smelling everything he sees… It's so cute…"
"Can I say this?"
"What??" I asked
"It's really a relief for me that you like animals compared to my Ex because I really like taking care of them"
"Ooooh…" I went to him and gave him a hug he gave me a kiss on my forehead too…
"Wait… I bought more of Snow's things so I could put them in your unit…"
��My unit?? Why??"
"Because I often hangout there…"
"Oh…"
"Is it okay?"
"Sure! why not?"
We went to my Unit and arranged some of Snow's things too like, bowel pads, Cat food, bed, meal bowls and a mini version of a playhouse like what's on his unit…
"There it's cute, right?" he said while he was letting snow play on the mini playhouse.
"Yeah…"
"It's actually good raising a cat… it relieves your stress."
"I do agree… Wait, I'll cook dinner tonight" I said
"Really?! Can you do it?"
"Just don't expect a '5-star-hotel-good' dishes"
"Eyyy… I would eat anything you cook for me anyways… Here let me tie the apron for you..."
He tied a ribbon on my back while he's facing me, it looks like he was hugging me… I can't breathe… I haven't got used to these acts…
I started cooking a pasta dish and a vegetable salad. But it's too uncomfortable yet sweet at the same time, because he kept on clinging onto me, he's hugging me from behind while I mix the salad, he moves with me whenever I move around the kitchen. He even leans his head on my shoulder…
"Jagi… aren't you being to clingy??" I asked
"Hmmm?? Me? Nooo…"
"Really? You think so?"
"Ummm!"
"Finally, it's done!!" and finally he let go of me…
I served a plate with pasta and salad.
"Smells great!!" he said and then tasted it.
"Gongju-nim!!! It's really delicious!!!"
"Really??" I said
"Yeah!! Was it really your first time cooking this dish?"
"Yeah…"
I took a taste of my own cooking and I'm really glad it turned out well, maybe it's just my talent to not know cooking at all but whatever I cook it taste good enough...
"Ooooh!! You're eating well" I said while I pat his head…
"You cooked well!!" he said while he pats my head in return with a very cute smile…
He washed the dishes we used and we were watching a reality show now in my couch after he finished all the dishes. He was playing with Snow while he made my lap his pillow again…
"My lap is quite an expensive pillow you know?!" I said
"It's comfortable more than those other pillows, plus I can afford to pay it with my love…"
"Ouh!! Will you stop that?!?"
He just laughed at me…
"Your mom's cute when she pretends to be angry right?" he talked to snow who's on his chest resting too.
*meow*
"Oh! I guess he understands!! He agreed with me… he said meow~"
I just laughed at him…
Weekend went by so fast so as another and another and another.
Brix has been busy last week because they'll be flying to Japan tomorrow for their tour. It's Sunday, but I'm at the hospital because the director called for me.
"Director Jung?"
"Xia! Oh! Please sit."
"Thank you, director."
"I'll make it straight to the point today so you can go home and prepare for your things…"
"Prepare for what director"
"You know W entertainment, right?"
"Well, it's Brix's entertainment, what about it, director?"
"Well our hospital always provides 3 medical staffs when they hold a concert since their CEO is a friend of mine. The company specially requested for you and I decided that you'll be accompanied with a resident from the orthopedics department and one resident from yours…"
"But director, I specialize in Thoracic Surgery, what could we possibly do for them?"
"I already told them that, but Brix told his company that he wants you on the team… plus you're a great doctor I'm sure you'll be able to manage simple injuries or anything."
"Well I do still remember everything when I was an intern from different departments, but I'm worried who will handle my patients here…"
"There's Bora, your first assistant, I believe she can cover for you… then maybe you'll have to bring Bona with you, well I actually told her beforehand and she was so excited."
��Well…"
"It's a request from your Boyfriend… what can we do?"
"Director… how did you know?"
"That kid is quite close to me his mother and I were best friends from middle school. This is actually his first favor he asked from me."
"Ouh!! That guy really! he even bothered you…"
"Hahahahah!!! It's totally fine… you should go Xia and pack your things…"
I went out of the office and tried to call Brix…
"Ooooh!! That guy!! Why won't he pick up the phone?!"
I kept dialing his number until I was at the exit of the hospital.
"Calling your boyfriend?" someone put his arms around my shoulders…
"Ommo!! Ya!! You startled me!! I almost flipped your arm!!"
"Hahahah!! Sorry…"
"Ya!! I'm a surgeon why would you bring me as your medical staff?!?"
"Why??? You studied medicine anyway and there's not much injury during our tour, it's just a necessity for us to bring medical staffs in case… you know… and I wanted you to be with me so what's the problem???"
"Eyyy!! Stop using your fame and connection next time just to be with me or else I'll break your bones…" I said and clashed my right fist with my left palm…
"Ooooh… scary…" he then hugged me tightly and kissed my forehead while walking home… he didn't care about the people watching, while I become conscious about them…
At dawn, around 3:30 am we arrived at the airport, Brix was carrying my luggage for me…
"Eonni!!!" Bona greeted upon seeing me coming to the waiting area
"Sunbaenim, my name is Choi JunKi"
"Oh… nice to meet you, let's work well together okay?"
"Oooooh!!! Shinui!!!" Ron greeted me.
"Your boyfriend forced you to tag along?" Xian jokingly asked
"Yeah… Kind off?? Hahahah!!! He even disguised me as your medical team…"
"It's not a disguise! You're a doctor after all…"
"Yeah, but I'm a surgeon, my specialty is on the operating room…"
"Well… Fine I admit it, I just want you to be with me on the tour…"
"Oohhhhh!!" all of them who are there teased us…
We waited for the plane and departed after 30 minutes. We arrived at Tokyo Japan after 2 hours and 15 minutes of travel. After settling ourselves in the hotel we went immediately on their concert venue for tomorrow and they began practicing. I just can't believe myself that I'm watching them practice and that I'm a part of their medical team…
"Jagi… How was it?"
"What?"
"Our performance? You were a fan so, out of all the people here, we should exceed your expectation since you were fangirling over us since debut…"
"Well it was really great! can I see your song line up?"
"Here…" he handed me the paper for song line-up
"It's a good selection out of all your songs…"
"Shinui!!" Bryle went near us.
"Yes oppa…"
"Do we still sound good to your ears?"
"Of course! you guys do!! Better than ever!!"
���Ooooh!!! Brix!! Your girlfriend is like a power bank!! She knows how to give power to people…"
"Of course, that's my girl…" he hugged me tightly…
"Ouuh!! These lovebirds here really!!" Xian reacted…
"I didn't know it was such energizing to have your girlfriend support you during concert preparations, I wish I had one!! Huhuhuhu!!…" Ethan told his drama in life.
"Stop your drama Ethan… Look for someone just like my girlfriend so the fans would approve of her too…" Brix said
They continued practicing after their break. So, this is how they prepare themselves for a great performance that they show the fans… If only everyone can see this, they would appreciate an idols' work even more… After singing the last song they all sat on the stage super exhausted…
I came up to give them water bottles.
"Jagi… you okay??" I said while I sat beside him and wiped his sweat…
"I'm fine… my shoulder just hurt a bit…"
"Let me…" I went to his back and gave him a massage…
The six members went near us and sat down with us…
"Oppadeul, if you're going to take a shower please use only a cold water it will help you so that your muscles won't sore…" (Oppadeul {plural form})
"Thank you for the concern Shinui!!!" Ethan said…
"Heard the head of our medical team? Use cold water for bath later… okay?" Xian emphasized what I said…
We went back to the hotel after their practice… Since Bona and I share the same room Brix can't come in at any time… Hahahahah!!
I said to tease him
"Eonni… you kept on smiling"
"Huh?"
"Was that Brix?"
"Yeah… I was teasing him on the text…"
*knock *knock
"Did you order something?" I asked Bona
"No…"
She opened the door
"Hello Bona-ssi can I come in?"
"Ya!!! What are you doing here?!!?" I asked right at the moment I saw Brix at the door
"Sure…" Bona let him enter
"Guys let's watch a movie" Brix said and quickly connected his hard drive into the TV of the Hotel room…
"Jagi!!! Go back to your room… I'm not the only one using this room you know…"
"No eonni!! It's fine, just pretend I don't exist…" she giggles
"Oh! Bona-ssi thank you…" Brix thanked her wholeheartedly
"Waaaah!! You two!!" I said
We watched a movie and Brix put his arms around my shoulders while we sat on the bed, oh!! I'm so embarrassed that Bona has to see how clingy this guy is!!! She was watching with us too…
"Eonni.. You both are so sweet!! I like how natural of a couple you two are…"
"Thank you Bona-ssi, She's your eonni right? Then just call me oppa if you like…" Brix replied to Bona's praise immediately
"Ahhh.. ne… kamsahamnida…" (yes… thank you…) Bora said…
The day ended and another came. Today's their Opening concert for their Japan Tour.
"Waaaaah… I'm quite nervous…" Brix said as he tried to calm down himself
"Ya… you'll be fine"
"2 minutes left!!" the stage manager said.
"Can you give me a hug?" he asked
"You were really this nervous huh?? That you actually asked me to hug you though you do it anytime you want naturally and as often as you like…" I said as I gave him a hug
"Where did the staff told you to stay during our performance??"
"Here… at the backstage… you know… in case…"
"Mmmmm" he said and patted my head…
"Read for standby!!" shouted the staff
"We'll go now…"
"Oh!! Fighting!!" I cheered
They finally entered the stage and I heard the fans went really wild… It's a pity that I should watch from the back but it's fine… At this rate I should help them by working and doing my task as a medical staff…
3 songs ended, their introduction went smoothly. They went for another set of upbeat dance song, others stayed behind for their solo stages and others went to the backstage.
Ethan oppa was complaining about his ankle so I took a look and massaged it a bit and put some hot bag for a while.
Then they entered again for another song, followed by a song after another and another, solo stages made them shine even more, they had a heart to heart talk with their fans, sang their last song, and bid goodbye and promised to meet them for a more cooler stage in the future…
"You've worked hard everyone!!" The CEO praised the boys at the dinner party for a job well done on their opening concert for their tour.
"But!!! No one will drink alcohol until your last concert day… Okay?!!"
"Yes abbeoji!!" all seven of them answered
Just look at how they listen to their CEO as if he was their real father
"Jagi, try this one…" he gave me a mouthful of a sushi serving…
"Aigooooo Jalmogonaeng~~~" (Jal mogonaeng- cute way of saying you're eating well)
He suddenly said out of the blue, which was heard by all of his members.
"Ya!! Stop acting like that!! She might lose appetite…" Xian teased Brix
"Ouuuh!! I agree!! You should really stop that oppa" I told him
"Hahahhaha!! Why!?!?! it's fun!!" he said
"Ah!! I think I know why you always act cute and sweet towards her…" Ethan said
"Hyung why do you think so?" Ron added
"Brix like to tease her, because she makes a cute expression when she would pretend she's angry or disgusted… He likes that expression 'cause it make his heart flutter… Right Brix!?!?"
"Ya!!! Are you a mind reader??"
"Nah! I just saw by how you looked at her expression earlier… Hahahah!! Man! I think you're really head over heels!!!"
"Ohhhh!!! Shinui!!! You got our second maknae hooked!!" (Maknae- youngest)
Every day we moved from region to region for their concert venues. It has been a routine to travel, go to the hotel and accompany them to their concert venue for their practice, then conduct the concert tomorrow, and repeat the routine again… The members' bodies have actually deteriorated for almost the whole 2 weeks period due to fatigue. Most of their complaints were muscle cramps, fever, and stomach problems due to food indigestion. 2 of the members even caught a cold yesterday after the concert.
Today we're going to travel again for their last stop before their Encore stage which will take place back in Tokyo…
It was 4 hours travel by the rented bus of the company including the traffics we encountered. I woke up and tried to wake Brix who was almost lying from extending the seat too much next to mine…
"Jagi… They said we're here…" I said
"ummmm??"
He looked at me and I saw his eyes were bloodshot red!!
"Oppa!! Museun Il ?!?!" (Something wrong?!?!)
"No-nothing…"
"Wait! What do you mean nothing?!?! You're burning in fever!!" I told him.
"Oh, everyone already left the bus…wait…"
I saw Xian just about to enter the hotel…
"Xian oppa!! Xian oppa!!"
"Oh!!??"
"Can you help me?!?"
He came immediately…
"Why??"
"It's Brix he has a very high fever help me bring him to his room…"
He immediately helped me assist Brix to his room…
"It's 41 degrees, It's pretty high!!" I was shocked by his temperature… No wonder his eyes were bloodshot…
"Xian Oppa, He needs to rest, it's impossible for him to practice at this state…"
"I'll tell the others…"
"Wait I just need an hour to rest…" Brix protested
"Ya!! Are you kidding me?!?! even in 3 hours your fever won't easily go down!!" I told him
"Brix… Just listen to your girlfriend which happens to be a doctor, you'll have a chance to participate in the rehearsal tomorrow anyway if your body recovers well…" their CEO appeared and said.
Yes!! This is the reason why I like him as their CEO he never overworks his artists…
"Brix!! Recover fast okay?" Xian said, and the others told him the same thing before they left for practice.
"Xia, please take good care of him…" CEO Jun said
"Yes CEO…"
"oooppppsss??" he gave me a cold stare
"Ah! Abbeoji.."
"Okay we'll get going! Brix!!" he waved, then he left the room…
"Oppa… I'll give you an IV drop so you won't be dehydrated, let's lower down your temperature too… here take this meds…" I hand him the antipyretics
"Oppa… don't move…" I said while I placed the needle for the IV liquid…
"There you go…"
"It's really great you're a doctor and my girlfriend…"
"Really? Don't flatter me just yet!! You deserve a scolding… Why didn't you told me earlier that you were feeling sick!?!?"
"I thought it'll be fine after I take a nap…"
"But still!! You should have told me!! What's the use of bringing me here as a medical staff?!?"
"ah~ah~ah~ don't scold me it makes me feel bad…"
"Don't act cute… you're not cute this time…"
"Eyyyyy… Really I'm sorry I won't do that again and I'll tell you next time, promise..." he said while pulling my hand and telling me to sit beside him…
"Fine! I'll not scold you anymore since you're sick…"
"Thanks" look at this guy… He has chills but still has the power to be sweet?!?!
I took a lukewarm water and a towel and put it on his forehead so his temperature would lower immediately. I made him rest the whole day, I also fed him to make sure he won't skip meals and make him take his meds. He's getting better he'll be fine tomorrow for sure…
Even though with a bit of fever he still insisted to perform today and thankfully they finished the performance without a problem. One more performance to go, which is their Encore concert in Tokyo tomorrow where they opened their tour and then we'll be able to go back to Seoul.
"Jagi… you still have a fever, drink this…" I said and gave the antipyretics, we're travelling back to Tokyo with the bus…
We were all asleep in the bus and I thought he was going to be fine but…
"Jagi… bi…" (bi- Blood)
"Shoot!! Bona-ya!! Tissue!!"
"Here…"
"Keep facing at the bottom, keep it at 45 degrees angle so the blood won't run back… anyone has an ice bag?"
"I have a cold bottled water here" I took a cloth and wet it with water and put it on his forehead and massaged hi neck so he could relax. I assisted him. But everyone in the bus were concerned and became tensed.
"If you're having a nosebleed shouldn't you just rest today?"
"I want to perform today, because it's our last day, fans are anticipating a lot…"
"I know but if your body can't handle it…"
"Trust me I'll do well"
He didn't listen to me at all and now they're preparing for the concert…
"Xia-ssi??? Why won't we watch them from the seats near the stage?"
"CEO, I-I mean abbeoji shouldn't I stay here?"
"mmmm… all executive staffs will be watching here we've stayed at the backstage for the whole concert shouldn't we at least enjoy their last performance? Especially your boyfriend will be performing…"
"I'm really nervous about this, because Brix is not feeling well maybe he'll need my assistance at the back from time to time…"
"Don't be worried about that, I told the staff to call us immediately if something happens… So, come with me we have a sit prepared just right below the stage…"
"Well okay…"
I went to Brix and told him that we'll be sitting in the front and he exciting said he'll do well…
5 minutes after the concert started, he seems well, I'm sure he'll be fine. It is my first time watching their concert like this, super up close… As expected from their group! They're really good! They're almost half through the concert and they're singing an acoustic version of their song.
"The kid, he kept looking at you…" CEO talked about Brix
"He's cute… Hahahaha!!" he added.
The song's accompaniment accidentally stopped, the boys continued to sing for a while and stopped in a bit, but what's weird is that Brix kept singing even though it's no longer his part…
"Guys… I have something to show and tell you…" he suddenly spoke to the fans
A VCR played in the back…
"Abbeoji!! What should I do? Is this an accident?!?" I saw our photos, yes! my photos together with Brix during our trip when he asked me to be his girlfriend…
"Xia-ssi listen to Brix…"
"Guys, I'm dating someone and the person you're seeing in the VCR… That's her…"
"Xia eonni!!!" a fan shouted which was followed by whispering of the fans…
"Xia…" he went to where I am and came to pick me up to stand with him on stage…
"Guys, even though we didn't date before, you all supported us by letting our friendship grow through your positive comments, are you guys going to support us till the end?"
"Yes!!!" the fans shouted…
"Is that true??" he asked as a follow up
"Yes!!" they all answered
"Xia-ssi!! Congratulations!!" someone shouted at the right, back, seat section of the stage.
I bowed 90 degrees to show my appreciation for their support.
"Xia, I mean Gongju-nim~~"
"Ooooooh!!~~~~" the fans giggled
"This is why I wanted to perform today despite telling me not to…" he said while facing and holding my hand.
"Honestly she told me not to perform today because earlier I had a nosebleed and I have a fever for 3 days already…" he said to the fans…
"Aaaaah…." The fans reacted to what he said
"Gongjunim, when I mistreated you despite saving my life because I was depressed with what happened between my past relationship, you were there and endured my cold and hurtful words and you helped me realize that my fans are still there and that they are the one who'll love me the most"
"awwww…." The fans reacted
"Thank you for being with me… With the blessings of my fans, let's date comfortably…" he then hugged me.
"Popo hae!!!" (Kiss her!!)
"Popo hae!!!"
This guy really!! He listened very well to his fans and kissed me… I took the microphone because I have something to tell the fans…
"Yeorobun… I've been a fan of them since their debut, I was just a fan looking at them from a far, I didn't know that Brix would actually be my boyfriend, I promise to love him from the bottom of my heart and I will take care of him, I will support him till the very end just like how you were to him… I want to thank you all for giving us your blessings to date freely…" (Yeorobun- Everyone)
"Chukhahaeyo!!" the fans shouted in unison…
Brix assisted me while going down the stage and they continued performing again…
This day ended with just happy emotions for everyone especially for us two, I'm happy that his fans supported us and even congratulated us.
