IDOL

Chap-17

I walked inside the studio as there was an urgent meeting and Luca called me that i am needed there. So i went to my home from the hospital and took a shower and drive here.

I bowed in return to the staff members as i walked passed them. Opening the door, i walked inside and took a seat beside Baek kyung Manager and intertwined my fingers on the table. In front of my sat Police head officer and next to sat CEO Bang. Luca came in and took a seat beside me.

"The man has spoken finally. Our calculation was totally right. He was involved in Miss Eun Aee house vandalism, car accident and then this. By tracking his phone, we got hold of his master. There are around 10 people working under him, we have them all locked up." Police officer told us.

I felt relieved to hear that.

"Are you sure there are they are all in there?. Anyone hiding?." CEO Bang asked him.

"Yes we are sure. No need to worry now. We will handle them strictly according to the law." He said, standing up from the chair.

We all stood up as CEO Bang and he left the room chatting.

"Thank goodness, those bastards are locked up." Luca said, sighing in relief.

I nodded my head, pursing my lips.

"How is Baek Kyung doing?."

I turned back to see CEO Bang walking towards me.

"He is fine. He regained his consciousness this morning. The tests are fine but." I stopped and looked up at him.

"But?" He asked, confused.

"He should not sing for a while. Because the swelling hasn't gone fully. He needs to rest and give rest to his throat. Otherwise he is totally fine." I told him,

He nodded his head and crossed his arms behind his back.

"When they are leaving for Brazil?." He asked Luca.

"Two days later. We have a concert in Seoul today. They are preparing for it." Luca informed him, going through the schedule in his hand

CEO Bang nodded his head.

"And when do you think he will recover fully?" He asked me, his eyes narrowed as he was in a thinking mode.

"I am not sure. I haven't observe the state of his throat. But will i ask doctor today and let you know." I told him.

"Yes do that." He said, nodding his head.

I went to my office to check up on the things when the door knocked.

Going around my table, Doctor Min-jun came inside.

"How are you doing?" He asked as he came to stand in front of me.

"Fine. Is everything going fine at the back stage?" I asked him,

I don't know why but i don't get good vibes from him.

"Good. I heard about Baek kyung's case and how good friends you are with them." He said, with a smile.

"Yeah." I said, unsure of what he was trying to ask.

"Well good luck." He said, putting his hand over my shoulder.

I raised my one eyebrow at him and then look at his hand over my shoulder.

"Thank you." I said, narrowing my eyes at him.

He took off his hand and gave me his smile. There was something fishy about him which i hadn't noticed before.

What was his deal?

"I should leave now."

I nodded my head as he bowed and left.

"Hey." Bong Cha greeted me as she came in.

"Hey." I smiled at her.

"What was he doing here?" She asked.

"Who? Doctor Min-jun?" I asked her, i could feel my forehead creased in confusion.

"Yeah. I don't know why but he doesn't seem like a good guy." She said, with a sneer on her face.

"You too? I don't know why i feel bad vibes coming from him." I said, crossing my arms over my chest.

"Let's not think about it. What if he is really nice? I will hit on him if that's true." She said winking.

I laughed at her, nodding my head.

We talked for a while and then i left for the hospital. Knocking the room, i walked inside and surprised to find all members there.

"What are you guys doing here?" I asked them.

"We wanted to meet him before we go." Nam-joo said, looking at me.

I nodded my head and smiled their way. I walked towards the table and put the food thermos on it.

"I have a good news for you all." I announced walking towards Baek kyung.

He looked at me, confused. Tae-ri stood up from the stool and offered me to sit. Thanking him, i sat down and looked up at Baek kyung with a soft smile on my smile.

"Police got them. They are all locked up in hell. And we will make sure they will pay for it." I said, looking up into his eyes.

Baek kyung nodded his head and his eyes moisten with tears.

"Thank you." He spoke with hoarse voice.

"Don't speak. Give your throat a rest." I told him with a smile.

"Those bastards will surely pay for what they did to Baek kyung." Tae Oppa said, angrily.

I blinked and then laughed at him. I have never seen him angry before and he looked funny.

"What?" He asked, looking at me bewildered.

"Nothing. You look funny."i told him and rest of the boys laughed.

We all talked for a while and they left for their performance.

"See you later." Seo-joon said as he kissed my head.

I nodded my head and smiled at him.

"Did you eat?" I asked Baek kyung,

He shoke his head, nodding my head i gave him the soup i brought. I walked out of the room to report CEO about Baek kyung's condition.

"Yes. The doctor said his throat is in good condition, but to give two days complete rest. And they are discharging him today." I informed CEO about his recent condition.

"That's good. I will send Luca to bring you people. Take care of him." He sounded so happy and relieved.

Pocketing my phone, i walked and smiled as i looked at Baek kyung who was listening to some songs while scrolling through his i********:.

Walking towards him, i pulled out his earphones.

"Luca is coming to pick us up." I told him while running finger's through my hair. He nodded his head and opened his mouth to speak but i cut him off.

"Ah No. Dont talk. You heard what the doctor said. Not to talk at all. Once we get home, i will get you a writing pad. Talk to us through that." I told him, with a smirk as he crossed his arms over his chest, wearing a pissed off expression on his face.

I giggled at him and started to pack his things in a bag to leave the hospital.

Baek kyung was fully recovered, we all packed our bags and then here i am in Sao Paulo after two days.

Today was their first concert here, when we were coming to the stadium, i saw crowds of Sirius fans. Some were showing off their dance covers of Sirius songs.

"They are pretty good." Bong Cha who was sitting next to me in the van commented. I nodded my head.

After hours, we all were ready for the show. The stadium was filled with thousand's of fans. They were singing to bts songs and fan chanting. I went around the back stage to see the audience and i was left awestruck. The scene in front of my eyes felt like shining stars against the midnight blue sky. The shining stars were the army bombs which were being waved in the air. And midnight sky were the fans. I could feel goosebumps on my arms as i listen to loud fan chant along with the scene. I could feel excitement in my bones as they sang and cheer. I was sitting in the backstage with my helpers when they all came there. They were their respective microphones, staff members adjusting other things, getting ready to go over stage. I gave them a thumbs up as they passed me. They all passed smiles to me and looked really happy.

I took my seat in front of a LED TV which was coveraging the today's show. As Sirius members got on stage with their song background music, the cheering got to loud that we all had to cover our ears with hands. Luca and I shared a laugh as we both were covering our ears.

The stage was lit. I can't explain how beautiful and ethereal it looked. Dionysus instrumental was playing with now, the fans cheered as the cheetah thing came up and then bamp!.

Fireworks. I love fireworks.

Then the song's original music started with camera focused on Joo-ho and Seo-joon. They all wore white suits, looking handsome as ever. I sang along, bobbing my head as i enjoyed their performance. The song ended with them all seated on the chairs cand camera focusing on Seo-joob who was breathing heavily. But looked a beautiful piece of art. I felt my heart flutter just by looking at him.

I couldn't believe he was my man. I bit my lip in shyness and laughed at myself.

After a few minutes, another song-Not today music started playing as camera focused on Nam-joo, who stood up holding his microphone close to his mouth as he started singing.

Joo-ho looked so good as he sang and danced with a swag. I smiled and cheered for them while being in the back stage. Staff members smiled as they saw me cheering. Nicole and Bong cha later joined for a while as they got Sirius clothes for the next segment. The room was a bit away from where i sat. The back stage was really big, it had many rooms.

I bit my lip from smiling too big as Seo-joon part came where he sand no not today. Baek kyung was doing good, i felt happy that he could perform. I still remember his face when he gets to know that he can't sing for a while. He looked completely heart broken and torn apart. But he recovered fast and well. The song ended and crowd erupted into cheers. The light went out and they came back after a few seconds. Camera focused on each member one by one. They all were sweaty and breathing heavily. Few drinking water and cleaning their faces with towels.

Then Nam-joo spoke, "Hello, we are."

"The Sirius." They all introduced themselves together. The crowd cheered along.

Bong cha and Nicole left to check things over.

The new doctor I couldn't see him anywhere. A few times i saw him here and there but now he was not in sight.

Once cheered died down, Namjoon spoke," Welcome to Sirius World Tour, Lover youself, Speak youself....here in Sao Paulo!"

Cheering goes on.

"Hello, my name is Oh Nam-joo. Nice to meet you!"

Then camera focused on Joo-ho, who immediately smiles as he saw himself on screen as cheers increased. He gestured the audience to shout louder and smiled.

"Ooo!! Hello! I am your Shining star!" He said pointing at the camera and as cheers got louder he gestures them to hold.

"You are my hope!" he said, pointing to himself

I felt a smile on my face and said along.

Then came Seojoo , who smiled as camera focused on him.

He brought his green mic near his mouth and spoke," Whats up!, Shinning stars!"

The fans went wild and i guess i did too.

"Hi guys, my name is Seo-joon. Nice to meet you all!"

Then Ho oppa came up, who keot looking around the stadium and spoke, " Hello, Sao Paulo!."

"My name is Ho yong. Nice to meet you guys!" He said, with a small smile im the end.

Then came Tae Oppa, who was staring intensely towards the camera, which brought a laugh from me.

He was such a funny guy.

He send his famous wink to fans gesture and cheers got louder.

"Hello, my name is Tae-hoon." He said, waving his hand in the air.

Then came Tae-ri, who had the biggest smile on his face.

"Hey! Thanks for coming. Nice to meet you guys. I am Tae-ri!" He said, smiling while looking around the crowd.

Then the last member, Baek kyung came up.

"Brazil! Brazil!" He said as cheers got louder.

"Brazil!." He shouted lengthening the words.

"Nice to meet you guys. I am Jimin." He said and smiling.

"Awesome. Can you hear me Brazil?" Hoseok said,

The fans cheered, Joo-ho shoke his head and spoke again, " Can you hear me?"

The fans shouted louder this time, "yes!"

"In this big stadium with you, Shining stars!, its like i am dreaming!" Ho oppa said with a bit acting.

I giggled at him.

"Look at the stadium! Look at this! You. Made. This. My stars!" Taehyung said, pointing towards the crowd.

"Thank you for your love for our new album, Dust and Diamond." Namjoon said

"It's because of you, shining stars! You are our Wings!" Tae Oppa said,

"It looks like we are flying here!" Tae-ri said, with his one hand in the air and spinning around.

"Ooo!." Joo-ho shouted

"Are you ready to fly and reach thw sky with us?"Nam-joo asked the fans.

They shouted yes!

"Okay, lets spread your wings!" Joo-ho said, pointing at the crowd.

The music to their next song started, Wings. I liked this song too.

The song came to it's best part.

"Lets fly high!" Joo-ho spoke and fans shouted, "Fly high!"

Then his Rap part came.

"Every body Jump!" Ho oppa growled.

I wanted to join the fans, dance and sing along to their songs. The song ended with camera focused on Seo-joon. The stadium lights went off and everybody started rush in the back stage. I blinked my eyes trying to process what is happening.

Then i saw Sirius members came down, breathing heavily. They rushed to the changing room. I stood beside my helpers and the new doctor came to stand with me.

"Everybody is fine." Luca came to us and informed me about their state.

I nodded my head and sighed.

Good.

After a while, Tae-ri came out with a new clothes on. And rushed to the stage, it was his solo song. Euphoria.

The crowd cheered loudly as he started to sing.

"Hey, Eun Aee. Come with me." Bong cha said as she came to me.

"Call me when the song is about to end." I told my helper and walked with her to the changing room.

"What is it?" I asked her, but she stayed silent and narrowed her eyes at me.

What?.

I was confused as i looked at her.

We entered the room which had another room in it. All the rest members were sitting there resting for a while.

"Hey." I greeted them

"You guys were awesome! I wished i could see you there performing." I told them, taking a seat beside Seojoon who was patting the empty space next to him.

They all thanked me and wore a smile on their faces.

"Did you see me perform?" Taehyung whispered in my ear.

"Yes of course. You were great and hot." I said and laughed along him.

"Really? You didn't tell me!" Bong Cha said, looking at me with her arms crossed over her chest.

"Ah. I-Uh. I was about to tell you,"

"Keep the excuses, he told me. Well, i am happy for you. Congratulations." She said, walking towards me and gave me hug.

"Nevermind. But i need treat!" She said, looking at us. She was a good friend of them.

"We will give you." Taehyung said with a smile. His arm over my shoulder as he pulled me close to him.

Baek kyung teased me by wiggling his eyebrows as he saw me get shy as Seo joon pulled me closer.

"Come on. Let's get ready." Bong Cha said to Baek kyung, as it was his next turn for performance.

Me and Seo joon talked for a while then i left as my helper called me.

I took my seat and rested my back against the sofa while watching Baek kryung's performance on the stage. It was beautiful. The song ended as Baek kyung's smiled towards the crowd and spoke," i love you guys!"

Baek kyung came down and Nam-joo was getting ready for this solo performance. I put my hand in air for a high five with Baek kyung, he smiled and did high five with me. "I love it. You did great." I told him, as he drank water,

"Thanks." He breath out and walked away after giving a pat on my shoulder.

Every body was rushing here and there as Nam-joo performance was coming to an end. I looked up to see all of them wearing new clothes, mix of blue, white and pink. They all looked so good in the outfits. I gave thumbs up to Seo joon, smiling he came towards me and caressed my head and left. I sat there blinking, what just happened. I looked around and saw everyone was looking at me which surprised looks. I guess they saw our interaction, even the new doctor saw it. I found Hae-won, sneering at me, who was the makeup artist of Seo-joon. She stood with her arms crossed over her chest as she glared at me. I rolled my eyes at her. I don't know what her problem was. I didn't mind her and focused on the TV in front of me.

"Love you." Nam-joo said and made a heart with his fingers.

The music for the next song started playing. They took their mics and went on stage for their next performance.

It was the hit song of this year and of their album.

Boy with love.

The fans cheered very loud that i had to cover my ears once again.

Wow.

I sang along the song and enjoyed the performance. The song ended with camera focused on Ta-ri as he looked back at the camera and blew a kiss and fans went wild. Then camera focused on Seo joon who was drinking water and winked at the camera, i smiled at that.

"Sao Paulo! Make some noise!" Tae Oppa yelled as the cheers erupted from the crowd.

"My stars! Did you have fun?" Namjoon asked them.

The fans shouted, "yes!"

"Stadium fever is so hot! Like a carnival." Joo-ho said, with a bright smile on his face.

"What do you do in carnival?." Nam-joo asked Joo-ho

"1. 2. 3!" Joo-ho counted

"Samba!" They all said together.

Samba?. I don't know what that was.

"Tae hyung and Tae -ri already got some Samba moves, right?" Seo-joo said looking at them.

They nodded their heads with smiles on their faces.

"Lets show them." Baek kyung said

They all started clapping and then Tae-ri and Tae oppa did some dance moves. I guess thats what Samba is.

"Doctor, please have this." A staff member gave a food box.

Thanking him, i opened it and started to eat, i was so hungry.

I sat there eating burger while bobbing my head to their singing. I don't know what song they were singing, but i liked it. I was going through my phone when a picture appeared up. Frowning, i clicked open it.

It was a picture of two boys. Smiling widely as they look in front towards the camera. He was looking so beautiful, making my heart ache with pain for him.

He must be alone.

I suddenly started coughing up and my helper gave me water. I drank it and thanked him.

Damn cough, brought tears in my eyes.

Ashely posted the picture on her i********:. I messaged her to send me the photo.

"Make some noise!" I heard Baek kyung voice.

Pocketing my phone, i looked up to the TV. They were preforming nonstop now, next song music came up. I know this one, Fire. It was hit song of their album.

Nicole and Bong Cha joined me later and we talked about their performance and other things.

"Hey, Eun Aee. Did something happened?" Bong Cha asked suddenly.

"What?"

"Like between you and him here?" She asked, curious.

"Uh. Nothing much. He caressed my head that's all. Why what happened?." I asked now a bit worried.

"Oh. Relax. It's nothing. Hae-won was asking me what is going on between you and Seo-joon. I said nothing." She told me

"Oh. You did the right thing. Seo-joon did that absent mindedly. And there were alot of people that time. What's her problem anyway?. She keeps glaring at me for no reason." I told them.

"She is a crazy b***h. I don't like her either. Well nobody likes her here." Nicole said, munching her food while rolling her eyes.

"Don't worry. We won't tell anyone. But i guess everybody knows now. That's not a problem, no one's going to meddle into your business." Bong Cha said as she nudged hee shoulder with mine.

I smiled and nodded my head.

I looked up and saw them performing to another song which was Idol.

"Okay we need to go. And relax. Don't give a s**t what people says or thinks. We are rooting for you guys." Nicole said as she patted my thigh and stood up.

I nodded my head and thanked them for their support.

They left after that, i stood up from the sofa feeling tired from sitting down. They came down and Baek kyung was breathing heavily. Grabbing the mini oxygen cylinder i ran towards him and put the inhaling side over his mouth and nose. My helpers and other doctor rushed towards others. They were sweaty and felt difficult to breath.

"Okay?" I asked after pulling back.

"Yes." He said and took a deep breath.

"Here." My helper passed him a water bottle.

"Stay with him. Tell me if anything happens." I told my helper to look at others.

Tae Oppa seemed to be doing fine. I grabbed an ice pack and put it against the back side of his neck. I walked towards Nam-joo who was being look after by doctor Min-jun. Patting Nam-joo on his shoulder, i walked towards Seo-joo . Grabbing a mini towel from staff member i kneeled in front of him

"You doing good?" I said as i passed him the towel.

"Yes." He said, nodding his head as wiped his face and neck with the towel.

"Rest for a while." I said, patting his hand and stood up.

I looked to my right to find Tae ri lying down and four helpers near him. I rushed to his side.

"What happened?. Why didn't you tell me before!?" I asked them as i checked his pulse.

Increased heart rate and fast breathing, dizziness, sweating.

Dehydration.

"Bring me sports drink, fan, three ice packs. Hurry!" I said to my helpers as i unbuttoned his shirt.

"Take off his shoes. Bring those fans and try cooling his body." I told my helpers.

"Tae ri, can you hear me?." I asked as i take his shirt off with the help of his manager.

We placed a cushion under his head.

He nodded his head with his eyes closed. Helpers were doing their work as i made him sit with some help.

"Drink this. You will feel better." I told him and brought the drink close to his mouth. Putting the straw near his lips, i sat back.

I grabbed one fan and brought it near his face. Rest helpers were outting ice packs and holding fans. I touched his face and neck, he was cooling down.

"Drink water too." I said as he gave me the empty bottle.

"I can't." He said, shaking his head.

"Just two sip. Please." I said, as i forced the bottle towards his mouth.

I was told he gets stubborn when he doesn't feeling well. So i had to force it down his throat for his betterment.

"Good?." I asked

He nodded his head. I checked his pulse, it was coming back to normal.

"Please lay down for a while and rest." I told him and my helpers helped him to stand him up and took him to a room.

"Is he fine?." Seo joon asked as he and Tae Oppa approached me as i stood up.

"Yes. He is fine. I guess he overdone himself." I said to them.

"Yes you are right. He likes to push himself to the end. He is careless." Baek kyung said as he came to stand with us.

"Well, don't worry, he was just dehydrated, he is fine now." I told them.

"You fine now?" I asked Baek kyung, feeling concerned.

"Yes. I am fine. I guess i pushed myself too hard today." He said, running his fingers through his hair.

"It's okay. But please be careful. Your health is important of all. Anyways, you all did great today." I said as i patted Bawk kyung's arm.

They thanked me and left to get ready for their next performance.

It was Seo joon's turn, he was looking good in a black outfit. I winked at him as he passed me, he laughed shaking his head at me. I went to check up on Tae ri, he was sitting drinking water.

"How are you feeling?" I asked him

"Fine. Thank you." He said and bowed his head.

"Hey! It's okay. It's my duty. Please be careful." I said, pursuing my lips.

He sighed and nodded his head.

"Tae ri, come it's your turn." Nicile came in and called him

"You okay to perform?." I asked

"Yes. I am great." He said with a bunny smile on his face.

This man never takes it easy. Never rest.

I walked out of the room and sat on my seat and looked at Seo-joon ending performance. It was beautiful and unique.

"Thank you. Love you all!" He said and he came down the stage.

Fans were singing on their songs along with cheering and fan chanting.

I was talking to my helpers when they all came with new outfits. They surprised with each one of their outfits. They looked so good. They went on the stage as the music started.

I liked this song so i walked towards the TV to watch their performance.

Fake love.

The song ended with focusing on Jin oppas hand as it was it in the air. Cheers erupted and loud clapping. Even i clapped, impressed.

They all walked down the stage and took seats near by. Ho oppa ran towards the changing room as it was his turn. After a while he came out wearing a glittery purplish pink silk jacket with black shirt and black pants. The rest members walked into the room for getting ready for their last performance.

"Good luck." I said to Ho oppa,

He nodded his head and grabbed his mic from the staff members and went on the stage to perform his solo.

Sesaw. I never told him, but i love this song.

I lip synch along with his singing. The song ends with him laying on the white table camera focusing on him from above.

"How do i look?."

I looked to my right and found Tae Oppa in all white suit.

"Oppa, really handsome!" I said and to which he smiled and nodded his head in satisfaction.

Then he went on the stage and it was his solo song.

Epiphany.

It was a beautiful song.

I am the one i should love... In this world.

This was my favorite part of the song.

Tae Oppa came down the stage after making cry thousands of fans and many staff members. I gave him a thumbs up for his amazing performance. He bowed his head and smiled.

Then Baek kyung, Tae ri, Seo joon and Tae oppa went on stage for their performance.

The truth unfold.

The camera focused on Seo joon, who was looking good.

I went back to arrange things and check list of things that we needed to buy. I worked with Doctor Min-jun and time passed by as i saw them coming down the stage.

Everybody started clapping, i did too and smiled. Everybody applauded them all on their good performance. They left to change their clothes.

"They were really good." He said, closing the bag.

"Yes. They are incredible." I said to which he nodded.

"Good work doctor. Take care. See you tomorrow." He said and patted my shoulder.

Which i found was a habit of him. He wasn't bad, he was nice. We judged him too early, i guess. I nodded my head and walked towards Bong cha who was waiting for me.

"Come on. Lets go. I am so hungry." She said, whining.

Nicole and i laughed at her.

Thats how a long day came to an end.
