22nd April 2017, Saturday
Jungwoo was at the airport alone. He was surprise that there weren't any fans or photographers there to disturb him and his other teammates. He chose to arrive first at the airport cause Min-ji and Ji-yoo said that they wanted to say goodbye to Jungwoo before he leaves. His boss agreed and allows him to arrive first with some bodyguards just incase if there were paparazzi and crazy fans there. Jungwoo wore his disguise as always and he saw a woman waving at him with a little boy. He knew that that's Min-ji and Ji-yoo. Jungwoo told both of them to wear disguises so they won't be recognized by the public. That's the only safe way for Jungwoo to protect their private lives. Jungwoo walked to Min-ji and Ji-yoo and the bodyguards followed him. Ji-yoo hugs Jungwoo's feet cause he was to short to reach Jungwoo. "Do you really have to go?" Ji-yoo asked. "I'm sorry. I have to go for my carrier." Jungwoo said. "Just wait for a little while. I promise to come back after i'm done with my interviews, showcases, and special events" Jungwoo said while patting Ji-yoo's head. He could feel that Ji-yoo was crying even though he was earing a black cap and a white mask making it hard to see his face but Ji-yoo was shaking and he knew that Ji-yoo was crying he just smiled and kneeled down to hug Ji-yoo. He looked at Min-ji and Min-ji gave him a soft hug. "Don't forget about me and Ji-yoo when you're gone okay? I don't want everything to happen like before." Min-ji said while holding her tears in and hugging Jungwoo softly. "I promise." Jungwoo said while patting her back gently. After saying goodbye to Jungwoo he could see that the other members have arrived and the press started to come with dozens of fans. He, Min-ji and Ji-yoo quickly said goodbye to each other before everyone notices that Jungwoo is talking to a lady and a young boy. Jungwoo runs away from Min-ji and Ji-yoo while waving at them for the last time then followed the bodyguards to the airplane.
Jungwoo is now in the companies private jet with the other members. Being a celebrity is hard cause not only your privacy is broken, you can't travel in public planes (just the same actually). Min-hyun, the 2 youngest member which is only a year older then Jungwoo sat beside him. "Are you doing well?" Min-hyun asked. "Yea, i'll be fine." Jungwoo said while looking out the window completely lying to Min-hyun. He just smiled and sat beside Jungwoo cause his seat was suppose to be there. Before the ride started, Jungwoo checked his phone to see how the weather will be like in the U.S then he suddenly get a text message from Min-ji. He reads the text message but only a video was sent
"Hi Jungwoo, i know that we can't say a proper goodbye cause you were rushed to go to the airplane but we decided to say goodbye to you by this video." Min-ji said kneeling down so Ji-yoo could get in the shot. "I hope you have a safe flight and you'll be happy with the other members." Ji-yoo said. "Eat healthy, take good care of yourself, and don't work to hard until it's above your limits okay?" Min-ji said. "We will support you and stay active each time there's new updates about your schedule and stuff" Ji-yoo said. "Hope you can call us everyday!" Min-ji said. "Jungwoo fighting! Seven Boys fighting!" Ji-yoo and Min-ji said together (Seven Boys is the group name). The video stopped there and Jungwoo just smiled.
He forgot to put on his headsets and everyone heard about what Min-ji and Ji-yoo said. "They are out biggest fan" Hyun-woo said who's sitting behind him. "Yea, they're our biggest fan" Jungwoo said while smiling at his phone. Then he got another message from Min-ji.
"Stay safe and i hope you land safely and fly safely in the airplane okay?" the text said. "Thanks" Jungwoo replied then he turned off his phone cause the plane was about to start flying and he just turned on some music and used his headsets while looking blank out the window.
It took sometime until the plane finally landed. Jungwoo was a sleep the whole time and the other members just laughed at him. He must've been so tired and exhausted until he slept through the whole flight trip. They got down the plane and Min-hyun woke up Jungwoo by telling him from time to time that they already arrived while shaking his body until he finally woke up. It was night there in America. After getting of the plane they had to face dozens of screaming fans who are trying to grab all of the members or one of them, dozens of reporters to ask if the rumor as true even though that happened month ago, and they also faced many photographer calling them trying to get their intention so they would see the camera and take a nice picture of them. They managed to get away safely from all the mess that was happening without getting injured then they got in each van. Since they were a group of 7 members, there was 3 vans to pick them up and drive them to the destination that their boss told them to go. "Hey, are you okay?" the second oldest member and the lead rapper/Ji-ho said. "Yea, yea i'm fine." Jungwoo said. Ji-ho just smiled and nodded then minded his own business while Jungwoo was actually not fine at all. He lied. He felt like there were scratch marks on his feet and on his hands. He was also exhausted from running everywhere. They arrived at the address that their boss gave them. It was a hotel address. Jungwoo tried his best to close up his wounds so that no one can notice that he's actually injured cause of the mess that happen in the airport.
Their boss showed them every places that was in the hotel so that they get to know where to go. After that, their boss told them that they can go and get some rest except for Jungwoo. Mr. Kim wanted to talk to Jungwoo. His heart skipped a beat he gulped. He was nervous. What other stress level does he want me to be in this time? Jungwoo said repeatedly in his head. The others wanted to stay but Mr. Kim said in a serious tone that this information is only for Jungwoo. The gave up and went to each of their rooms while Jungwoo was waiting for his doom. He went to Mr. Kim's hotel room and sat on one of the beds while Mr. Kim was sitting on a chair that was close to the bed. "You must be nervous and shock right now. Why am i calling you? That's what must be what's going on in your head right? Or something like that" Mr. Kim said and Jungwoo just nodded. "Well, the reason i called you and only you is because there is an producer from a movie that they'll be making and they wanted you to be the main character." Mr. Kim said. "You'll be staying in America for as long the shoot goes. While the other members are going to stay with you since they have to produce more music with you and without you the fans will go crazy mad" Mr. Kim added. Jungwoo nodded. He was upset and sad that he has to stay in the states for a longer time. "You'll have the meeting with the producers and the other members of the movie including the staff members and the other actors." Mr. Kim added. "You'll start practicing the lines the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow is just introduction and other stuff" Mr. Kim said. He excused Jungwoo after telling him about his new schedule and stuff and Jungwoo got out of his room. He rushed to his hotel room and closed Mr. Kim's door calmly and softly so Mr. Kim doesn't know that he really upset and disappointed.
Jungwoo is in his bedroom. He's been trying to sleep cause it's night in the states and he wants to forget about everything and just stay calm but it's hard cause he keeps on thinking how and when he should tell Min-ji and Ji-yoo said. He's scared that Ji-yoo might get really sad. Even though Ji-yoo is only a friend to Jungwoo, he treats him like his own. And Min-ji, well he still has feelings for her and that's just making him more anxious. He's scared that Min-ji might be with another man and that could be her 2nd biggest mistake. He doesn't want Min-ji to get hurt again only because Jungwoo didn't came back to South Korea earlier. He has nothing to say or do cause Mr. Kim already accepted their offer to work with Jungwoo. And since Mr. Kim is rich, he has an Entertainment building everywhere. Jungwoo know at least there is 1 Entertainment building in each countries. Especially cause Mr. Kim's came from a rich family way before he was born. He just decided to think about it tomorrow and eventually went back to sleep.
