Chapter 10

Reiki

"Yah! Another fansigning event! I'm so excited!" Yona is jumping around the room and it's actually making me dizzy just by watching her.

Man this is girl is hyper as hell.

"I can't wait to hangout with ONCES. Pretty sure Mika and Minji will receive the most number of gifts from the fans as always." Seyeon said, earning nods from her members except Minji and Mika who just looked at them.

"I wish someone will give me a bucket of jokbal." Well... you know who that is.

Everyone broke out in laughter when Erina mentioned jokbal. I swear to God, this thinks about nothing but food all the time.

"Minji are you feeling okay now?" Shinwoo asked the giant maknae who's sitting beside me.

Minji has been experiencing flu for 2 days straight now.

"Not really but I'll be fine. I'll manage till the end of the fansigning." Minji said smiling.

"Have you taken any medicine?" This time Shinwoo sat beside Minji

"Medicine? No. There is no medicine." Minji said, shaking her head.

"Shinwoo unnie is your medicine." Shinwoo hugged Minji while giggling trying to be cute.

"That's why I haven't been cured yet." Minji held in her laugh.

Everyone broke out into laughter again while Shinwoo just pouted at their maknae

"The Savage Maknae strikes again!" The two maknaes said in unison and laughed with the others again.

"Neomuhae!" Shinwoo kept her pout.

"Reiki, are you okay?" Mika asked while peeking into my laptop. I'm still checking the CCTV footages from the IBS.

"Hmm?" I glanced at her and caught her staring at me.

"You got something on your cheek." She leaned in and kissed my cheek out of nowhere.

"W-what the heck was that about?"

"Pabo. There was a bit of cream on your cheek." She giggled.

"O-oh."

"Mika unnie being sneaky." Minji whispered and smirked.

Mika and I both moved our faces away immediately.

Luckily no one else noticed except Minji about Mika's sneaky move.

"E-Everyone ready?" I closed my laptop and looked at the girls.

"Neeee!" They yelled in unison.

"Alrighty, let's get going." I stood up and helped them bring their stuffs needed.

We were about to walk out when Jayson opened the door hitting me straight in the face.

"What... in... the actual fuck, De Borja!?" I said covering my nose.

"Y-Yah!! M-Mianhe, Reiki!!" He backed up when he saw me giving him a deadly glare.

"Reiki, you're nose is bleeding." Seyeon rushed over to the drawer grabbing a clean cloth and ran back to me and forced my head to look af her while she's wiping off the blood.

"Uhm... thanks." I let out a small smile and patted her. Everyone was staring at us smiling sheepishly but Mika just gave me a cold look.

"Everyone, let's go! You guys will be late! We still have to drop Mr. Park by the company." Jayson said.

"Arraseo, Jayson-ssi!" Shinwoo said/almost yelling.

I took the cloth from Seyeon. "Sorry to stain your handkerchief."

"It's alright, pabo." She smiled and walked out the room after Jayson and the rest followed them. Mika and I were the last ones in the room to walk out.

"Let's go?" I looked at her but she just kept her cold look at me. "What?"

Instead of answering, she just walked past me.

'The hell is her problem?' I thought to myself and followed her.

After making sure the house is well locked, I walked off to the cars.

"Jayson, take Seyeon, Kyungwon, Erina, Yona and Shinwoo. While Mr. Park, Mika, Damhee, Chaewon and Minji will ride with me."

Jayson just nodded but Mika protested.

"Seyeon unnie, ride with Reiki. I'll ride with Jayson-ssi."

Before me and Seyeon can protest she already walked off towards Jayson's car. I sighed and instead of complaining, I called Seyeon over and told them to get in the car.

"Appa-nim, can I ride shotgun?" Seyeon asked.

"Sure. I don't mind sitting in the back." Mr. Park said while smiling.

I hopped on at the driver's seat as soon as everyone got on too.

Halfway of the trip, the car is filled with silence.

"Anyway, here's the schedule for today's events. After the fansigning, we'll head straight back to the company building for our dance practice video." Seyeon read out loud from her small notebook.

"Arraseo." The maknaes answered.

"Reiki, have you found out anything about the incident 2 weeks ago?" Mr. Park broke the silence.

"Well, I checked the cameras thoroughly and I spotted a suspicious guy, walking around before the event started and also the cameras during the performance. There was a large time difference during the performance when the explosion blew off. When the bomb went off, he was caught running right away. And that's where the rest of the guys tried to grab Mika and started shooting. I got a facial recognition of the guy but when I looked it up through the Korean Police Criminal Log, there was nothing about him. Unless this guy is a pro, it's probably his first time doing that kind of mess." I explained. "Or he could've probably changed his name and face to keep his identity safe. Also there is a possibility that someone from inside the Task Force is working with this guy." I added. "This is why I don't trust Police people who I just met and know nothing about." I remarked.

"Hmm.." The only word Mr. Park answered.

"I called one of my trusted colleagues back home to ask for a second party opinion and a bit of a help and she actually thinks the same regarding the matter of the latter." I added again. "I asked for her help in trying to track down who our mystery guy is. She's still working on it as we speak. It might take a while but eventually we'll get the results." All Mr. Park can do was nod. The girls are quiet the whole time.

The remaining trip, the car was silent and I pulled over in front of the company building.

"Have fun at the event girls. See you later." Mr. Park bid us goodbye and got off the car.

"Annyeong, appa-nim!" The 4 girls said in unison.

I started to drive again when Damhee decided to speak up.

"Sooooo... what happened between you and Mika-unnie? Lovers' Quarrel?"

"How would we even have an LQ if we're not even a couple?" I shook my head.

"Well, she did kiss your cheek so..." Chaewon said and caused me to almost choke even though I wasn't drinking anything.

"Mhmm. We saw her kissed your cheek back there." Damhee said in a teasing tone, immediately backed up by the others.

"Ooooh. Looks like it wasn't only me who saw how sneaky Mika unnie was back at the room." I saw Minji smirking from the rear view mirror.

I composed myself before speaking up.

"That kiss on the cheek meant nothing. She just took the cream off of my face. That's all."

"Was she too lazy to move her hand and wipe it off instead?" This time it was Seyeon who spoke up, earning laughs from the maknaes.

The maknaes and Seyeon then started to tease me during the ride.

"Aish. It was nothing to get hung up about."

Mika

Pabo! Reiki is a pabo! I hate him.

I didn't realize I let out a loud and deep sigh.

"Well that's a deep one." Jayson-ssi spoke up. "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing. Just can't wait for this day to end." I lied.

"The day hasn't even started yet, Mika." Erina was eating a bag of chips.

"Eating again, Erina?" Yona states and took some chips from Erina and ate it.

"And who the hell gave you permission to take some of my food without my consent?" Erina playfully glared at the squirrel.

"I did." Yona said confidently.

"You're one to talk Yona." Kyungwon protested.

"I was just helping Erina finish it quickly." Yona defended her self.

"I'll just pretend I didn't hear that." I said and scrolled through my social media accounts.

"Yah, Mika-ah, you're mean!" Yona pouted.

I just shrugged and looked out the window. I gotta put this feeling aside and focus on the fansigning.

This feeling of jealousy. *sighs* Baka Reiki.
