IDOL

Chap-13

Humming the song, i closed the door of car. My mouth forming a smile as i looked at the studio, reminding me of Seo-joon. Smiling, i walked inside, putting the keys in my bag. I was looking through my i********: when i entered in the main room. Where usually CEO,managers and Sirius members hold meetings. I was supposed to attend the meeting as it was related to the Sirius upcoming world tour. I stopped in the doorway as i analyzed the environment. Everybody was looking tense and worried.

Did something happened?.

My heart beating fast as i make my way further in.

"Lets calm down. No need to worry, we are looking into it. Stay indoors and practice in your dorm.", CEO Bang said as he stood up the chair and throwing one look at Sirius members, he made his way out, Luca walked behind him. He bowed his head as he saw me. Bowing i walked towards the members who were really tensed. All managers left the room and it was only me and them.

"What happened?." I asked softly.

"Baek kyung received death threats." Nam-joo said looking at me. I looked at Seo-joon who was sitting beside Baek kyung.

What?!.

I quickly walked towards Baek kyung, who had his head in his hands.

"Are you okay?. It's going to be fine. Don't worry. We all are here for you." I said, rubbing my hand on his back to make him relax.

He nodded his head and moved back in his chair.

"I knew it could happen. But i wasn't expecting it to happen again." Baek kyung said to himself.

He was talking about death threats. He was threatened before two years back, which i got to know from Luca.

Seo-joon patted his back and while rest moved closer to him. I decided to leave them to have them their private moment. Quietly closing the door behind me, i looked back at the door as Baek kyung's worried expression appeared before my eyes.

He was my good friend, whom i wasn't ready to lose. It hurt me to see him in such pain. Pursing my lips, i walked my way towards Luca office.

I knocked the door as i waited. The door opened and Luca invited me in.

"Are you doing okay?." I asked him as we sat down on the sofa.

"Yes. A bit worried otherwise i am fine. How about you?." He asked, sighing.

"I am fine but it pains me to see Baek kyung this way. He is always joking and making us laugh and looking at him so worried and upset, breaks my heart." I told him, looking down at my hands while playing with my fingers.

"Yeah. Don't worry he will be fine. He is brave. In the past, he has been through a lot and never give up, so i know he won't give up now." He told me with a small smile. He looked like a proud brother.

Seeing him smile made me at ease.

He is going to be fine.

"So what about the meeting?." I asked,

"It was postponed. May be it will be held tomorrow or day after that for sure." He told me.

I nodded my head.

"You should stay with him. Though he got the rest boys but you being his good friend will make him feel better." He told me.

I nodded my head in understanding.

What he meant was that i was only his close friend who was not a member of Sirius here.

Saying good luck to Luca, i walked to my office. Taking my phone out, I dialed a number and ordered different foods. A few staff members came to for check up. After looking at them, i called Nam-joo, but his phone was busy. I bit my lip thinking whom to call.

Seo-joon!.

Dial-ling his number, i waited as i looked outside the window.

"Hello?." His deep voice reached my ears.

"Are you guys in studio right now?." I asked, walking towards my table.

"Yes." He answered.

"I wanted to talk to you guys. Please can you all come on the roof top after sometime?." I asked him.

"Oh okay. Be there in fifteen minutes." He said and finished the call.

I sighed as i looked at the phone.

He sounded so upset.

Asking a few crew members for help, they happily agreed for help. They all followed me to the roof top, where i set the area. Two plastic tables and 8 chairs. I along with a crew man put the table cloth on the table.

"Here. Put this in the center. It will give a refreshing look." Bong Cha said as she handed me a small vase full of fresh different flowers. She always put fresh flowers on her table. She wanted to do something for them so she brought this to me.

I bend my neck and sniffed the flowers. A mix of strong and soft odor was all i could smell. They smelled nice.

"Thats so nice of you. I am sure they will like it. You leaving?." I asked

"Yeah. I will be away for a while now. Be back before the date." She said as she put her arms around me in a hug.

I hugged her back.

"Stay safe." I said as she waved bye and left.

"Doctor. Is this all?." A crew member asked me.

"Yes. Thank you so much for your help. But there this one more thing." I said, scratching my head.

"Miss no problem. Do tell us." Another man smiled and said.

"Here take this money. There will be three delivery man in about 15 minutes then bring all the food here." I told them as i passed the money to one of them.

I sighed as i looked around.

Everything's set.

I heard their voices coming. I don't why, but i felt nervous. I had never done such things for friends who are male. Quickly taking out my lip tint from my back pocket, i applied onto my dry lips. As the wind was mild, so i decided to hair to remain in high ponytail.

I was anticipating their reactions. First Tae-hoon oppa came in and raised his eyebrows as his eyes fell on the table.

"Hey?" Baek kyung said with a cute pout on his face as he looked at the scene in front of him.

"What's all this?." Joo-ho asked, with a confusing looking on his face.

"Please come and take your seats. I will explain to you." I said as i pointed my hand towards the seats.

They all sat down, i took the empty seat between Tae-ri-and Nam-joo. They all went silent as i took a seat, looking at me. Waiting for me to say.

"I called you here because of what happened today. You all seemed tensed and worried, it's not good for your mental health. So i arranged this and called you here so that we can breath fresh air and make ourselves relax." I told them, looking at each one them.

As i finished saying, a chair was pushed back, i looked to my right and saw Baek kyung coming towards me. He bend down and hugged me.

"Thank you so much." He said softly, smiling and went back to his seat.

His sudden reaction got me stiff in my seat.

"You okay?." Tae-ri asked, who sat beside me.

"Yeah. It was just so sudden." I said and giggled. Baek kyung blushed and others laughed.

"Since table is here and decorated with beautiful flowers, why don't we order food?." Tae-hoon oppa asked as we all settled down.

"Uh. That. You can't order." I told him, wagging my finger at him.

Their necks flicked towards me so fast that i was afraid they may pull a muscle with this sudden action.

"What?."

"Why?."

"I am hungry."

The only person who remained silent was Ho-yong oppa and myself. I put my arms over my chest and waited for them to finish.

"Will you guys listen to me?." I asked, raising my voice a bit.

They nodded their heads and looked guilty. I heard someone coming up.

"You can't order because i already did." I told them, and the crew members made their perfect entrance as soon as i finished saying.

I stood up and walked towards them. Sirius members had fallen silent. May be with surprise or happiness.

"Please put them here." I said, walking towards another small plastic table, which was two steps away from our table. The three crew members followed me to that table.

"Thank you for your help. Did you have dinner?." I asked them

"No. We are going home then we will have it." One of them said.

"Please take this box and distribute among each other." I said as i picked up a box of food and passed towards them.

"Oh no, Miss. Thank you so much for your generosity. But no need for this. Please eat your dinner." They denied and left.

"Eun Aee. You don't need to do this." Nam-joo's voice reached my ears.

I didn't answer him and continued my work. I heard footsteps coming my way, several hands started working. They all helped me set up the table.

"Keep this box here. We will throw the plates and cups in it when done." Ho oppa told us.

I nodded as i picked the Pizza box and moved towards the big table and placed it down.

There were six dishes in total. I was getting hungry just by looking at them. I didn't ate in the evening due to the tense environment.

"Wait!." I slapped Tae-ri hand away from the pizza.

"Ouch." He yelped and held his hand. He laughed at me. I bit my lip in guilty.

"I am sorry. But i need to do something before we start eating." I told them.

Tae-ri nodded his head and said it's okay.

I had placed two candles on the table as roof top has very less lightening. I looked around the wrappers for match box but couldn't find it.

"What are you looking for?" Baek kyung asked.

"Match box. It was here. But I can't find it." I told them, looking to my right.

"Here it is." Joo-ho said as he walked towards the small table and picked it up from the floor.

He lighted the candles and it created a beautiful moment, i made a small video of the them and the scene. Then they helped each other with dishes, Tae-ri passed the food to me, me without asking him. That was so nice of him. I ate in silence, listening to their talking.

"Ah!. It's so good. I love it." Tae-hoon oppa said with his eyes closed, pouted lips giving a thumbs up.

I laughed at his reaction and nodded my head in agreement.

"Please?." I asked Joo-ho to pass the drink, who was pouring Sprite in his glass.

"You like sprite?." He asked, with a raised eyebrow.

"Yeah. I only drink sprite." I told him, my hand still in air, waiting for him to pass the drink.

"Yeah! Look! I told you guys" He said, giggling loudly as he passed me the drink. They all laughed nodding their heads.

"What?" I asked, feeling left out.

"One day, we were just guessing which drink you like, so that Baek kyung could prank you. As you don't like or drink beer. They all guessed you like coke and i said sprite. So i was right." He said and added a small smile in the end.

I raised my one eyebrow in question.

What?. They discussed me?.

"How did you know?." I asked him curious.

"I saw you drinking sprite once, while we were practicing." He said as a matter of fact, taking a bite of his food.

I felt weird. But i let it go. He was a nice jolly person not a creep. He could have seen me drinking so it's not a big deal.

Nam-joo and i talked about a new novel he read.

"I really liked her character. The way she stood up for herself against all the odds. That's what our youth needs. Confidence." He said, looking at me. His blonde hair moving with breeze.

"Yes you are right. Mostly just couldn't stand up for themselves, because they lack confidence." I said, agreeing with him.

We all were done with food and were only talking and drinking.

"Guys listen." Baek kyung announced as he stood up from his chair as he couldn't see me from his seat.

"Thank you Eun Aee. I really needed this and this helped alot. I feel relaxed and at ease. I know we will beat this obstacle as we have each other. We will show them nothing can break us apart. You my brothers, thank you for being here with me and Eun Aee, who has become a really good friend of mine. I love you all." He said smiling as he looked at us.

I smiled at him and nodded my head as his eye met mine. One by one, they all thanked me and promised me that they will give me a meal in return. I told them not need for that. But i know they won't listen.

It was getting late, so we decided to call it a day. I picked up the plates and put them in the box. They all cleared within minutes. They didn't let me do anything as they said i have done so much for them. I rolled my eyes at them but i felt harm from inside. They were so considerate and nice.

"Here. It has the table cloth, vase and candles." Seo-joon said as he passed me a brown kraft shopping bag.

"Thank you." I said as i looked up at him and passed him a smile.

I finally get to look at him, his hair a bit messy due to breeze and running hands through them. He wore a thin rimmed glasses which suited him alot and made him look more handsome. He had a small smile on his face which made my heart flutter.

"Thank you for today. And thank you for helping Baek kyung." He said softly, his eyes shone with respect and kindness.

I nodded my head.

"Will you be okay to go alone?." He asked, looking concerned. His lips pursed together as he looked at me.

"Yeah. Don't worry about me. You guys take care. Text me when you get home safely." I said and moved my hand towards him.

I grabbed his hand and gave it a squeeze trying to make him at ease. I quickly withdraw my hand as the rest members came towards us. I looked up to see him, looking at me intensely. His eyes held an emotion that i couldn't get a hold of. May be it was gratefulness or happiness.

"Come on. Let's go. It's all done." Tae-hoon oppa said as he started walking.

We all followed suit and descended the stairs. I went to my office to grab my things. Locking the door, i walked out into the car parking. Opening the door, i sat in the car and started driving. Throughout my drive, i kept thinking about death threats and how it affected Baek kyung and others.

"Hey Ashley." I said, picking up the call,

"Hey Hun. Its been long since we talked. Where were you?." She asked, worry lacing her tone.

"Don't worry. I have been fine. I just have been very busy lately. That's all." I told her as i walked in the building.

"Hmm. So... did you made up your mind?." She asked, a bit hesitating.

"About what?." I frowned, my forehead creased in process. I pushed the button in the elevator and put my hand in my pocket.

"About him, Eun Aee." Now she sounded hurt.

I sighed and closed my eyes.

"I have." I finally told the truth.

"You have!?. So you are coming back and taking him!. Thats good." She said, happiness flooded her voice.

It broke my heart to hear her so happy about my decision.

"Ashely. Listen." I said, moving back making space as people came inside.

"Yes?."

"I have decided that i will come for him but i can't come right now. I have a contract going on. Just 5 more months then i will come back." I told her.

"Eun Aee. It's too long. I don't think, he will sit at peace. He asks me about you atleast ten times a day. I can't keep telling him lie. Until when?. When he loses his cool and go crazy for you?. You know he misses you a lot." She told me softly.

I walked out of elevator and rested my back on the wall, closing my eyes.

"Ashley. I am finally starting to get stable. I am finally moving on." I whispered.

"I know darling. But you brought it on you by yourself. No one pushed you. We are trying our best to keep him engaged and all. But i am telling you need to come back soon." She said sternly.

"I know. Ashley. I know. And i will." I said and hanged up the phone.

Feeling like all my energy just got drained.

I walked towards my home. Taking the key out of my bag, i put it in but twisted the door handle. The door opened before i could twist the key in the keyhole.

What the hell?.

I slowly opened my door, fulling alert. I grabbed the keys tightly in my hand as i walked in quietly. I switched on the lights and faced the unbelievable.

My house was a mess. A total mess. Everything was out of it place. A vase broken on the floor and all its content were spread on the carpet.

"Whose there?!." I called, my heart beating wildly against my chest.

No one answered. I quickly walked into the kitchen and saw no one. Slowly opening the drawer, i picked up the knife. Turning around i made my way towards my room.

" Who is there?!. Tell me this instant before i call the police!." I shouted. My heart pounding against my chest as my feet moved on.

My room was already open with lights on. There was no one inside. My table was a mess, all things were on the floor. There was one room that i didn't check and it was my study room. I walked to my study room, knife still firmly held in my hand. It wasn't a mess but a few few were on the floor.

What is even going on?.

I called the police and notified them about the situation. I sighed and closed my eyes as i sat on my bed. I went back to my living room and gathered the flowers and small stones which were spread all over the carpet. Cleaning and throwing the glass pieces, i sighed in annoyance. I heard the bell ring. Standing from the sofa, i made my way towards the door.

"Miss Eun Aee?." Police officer asked, there were three more officers behind him. Two were wearing gloves and carried a small bag.

"Yes. It's me." I said.

I let them in and moved towards the carpet in the living room which was dirty due to the sand water fallen on it which was present in the vase.

"There was vase here. It was broken and all it's contents were present here." I told them pointing my finger to the carpet and the location of vase.

"Miss did you clean it up by yourself?."

"Yes. The glass pieces were sharp, as they were dangerous so i picked them up myself. I have picture of the scene, wait let me show you." I told them and gave them my phone to see the picture.

They decided to talk about it among themselves. As i waited on the side, thinking.

Who must be it?.

Could it be them?. Who threatened Baek kyung?.

But they don't know me. Or may be they do?.

I was going crazy thinking over and over again.

"Miss is there anything missing?." Police man asked me. Looking at me while holding a pen which was hovering over the writing pad. Writing down my statements.

"I don't know." I told them.

"What is your profession?."

"I am a Doctor."

"Are you treating any V.I.P or anybody of important value?." He asked.

Sirius. But i can't tell them.

"No just regular patients." I said, crossing my arms over my chest

"Do have files or records of patient's here in your home?." He asked.

Then i remembered, i had medical records of Sirius here. My mind went to death threats given to Baek kyung.

And this happened on the same day. The files on the floor!.

I quickly moved towards my study room and opened the cabinets. I looked around, biting my lip in nervousness.

I looked everywhere and Medical Records of Members were missing. It was all planned.

Oh my god.

I sat down on the floor and put my head against the leg of table.

What should i do?.

Then an idea came into my mind. I stood up from the floor and dusted my clothes and sighed.

"Miss?." Police man called me out. He didn't enter the study room and respected my privacy.

"Ah yes. No there is nothing missing. All files are there. I don't know what is he wanted?." I said. More like asking myself.

"Don't worry Miss. We will find it out. But for the night you need to stay somewhere else. We have to investigate all this and it is dangerous for you to stay here. They may come for you later." He said and bowed his head.

I nodded my head and walked out in the balcony. I dialed Luca number and closed the sliding window glass.

"Hello."

"Hello Luca."

"Yes?."

"Luca someone got into my house and stole record files of members."

"What!? Are you okay? Are you hurt? Did you call police?"

"I am fine. Relax. They were not here when i came in. Yes i did inform police, they are here, investigating. And i didn't tell police about my job as being Sirius doctor and neither about the files. They told me to leave for a few days as they may come for me." I told him, sighing.

"They are right. I will book you a room in a hotel, stay there for a while. And take care. Let me see and i will call you back again." He said and hung up.

I sat on the chair and rest my head against chair.

My life was starting to feel like a action thriller movie.

After a moment of peace my phone started ringing. It was Nam-joo.

"Hello?."

"Hey!. Are you okay!?" He asked, worry lacing his tone.

"I am fine. Nam-joo."

"Eun Aee. Luca told us what happened. And there is no way you are staying at the hotel. It is dangerous for you to be alone." He told me,

"Nam-joo. Then where should i go?. I don't have a place." I told him, rubbing my face with my free hand.

"Here. With us. In our dorm. We have discussed all the things and it is sorted out. We don't know much dangerous it could be for us or you. So as a friend and doctor you will stay with us. If anyone needs a doctor you will be here, we won't need to go outside. It will be safe for you too, Eun Aee." He said

I stayed silent and pondered on.

I do need someone to lean on. I was scared, what if they did something to me. He was right, they needed me as much i needed them.

"You guys won't mind?." I asked softly.

"You crazy women. We won't. You call us your friend's and think we will mind. No. We won't. Pack your bags, driver is coming to get you." He scolds me and hung up the phone.

I felt much relieved.

I informed the police about my stay at a friend's house for a while . They asked me for my door key and told me they will come here for investigate. I nodded my head and went back to my room and packed my things. After 30 minutes, my two bags contained all my things.

I felt my phone chimed with message. I opened it to find Nam-joo informing that driver is here. Throwing one glance at the house, i made my way towards the elevator. The driver was waiting for me outside the building. He opened the door and took my bags away. I sat inside and rest my back and finally took an air of relief. The car started and i felt nervous.

I am going to live with them.

With Sirius.

I must be dreaming. This surely is a great dream. I will soon wake up and this all will be gone.
