I heard the melody of one of my favorite songs. I felt a smile appearing on my face as i listened to it. I sing along and danced while sitting in my chair.
Ashes and Diamonds.
I wanted to run to where they were practicing and see it for myself. But wouldn't it be a bad idea?. Would it?.
No. Lets go. My heart said.
It's always the heart.
I bit my lip in excitement as i picked up my phone and hurried for the door. I followed the path from where the sound was coming from. As i neared i saw a hell lot of people, running here and there. I saw Bong-Cha among them, i made my way towards her to where she stood among other makeup artists.
"Hey Bong-cha." I said as i politely touched her shoulder.
She turned to face me her face morphed into a small smile as her eyes fell on me.
"Hey Doctor." She said and she hugged me out of blue. I was shocked at her sudden affection but returned the favor. Awkwardly patting her back, i looked up to meet curiosity filled eyes gauging me.
"You are here to watch them perform?." She asked sweetly, as she pointed towards the door from where the loud music was coming from.
"I don't know, to be honest. The music, the melody brought me come this way. I loved it." I explained, while hiding my true identity of being a fan.
She chuckled and nodded in understanding.
"Their music do have this affect. I wasn't a fan of them but when i was appointed as their make-up artist, their music just pulled me to them. And i love every song of them. You will soon too!." Another make-up artist cheerfully said as she passed me a proud smile.
I could surely understand her but i wasn't able to return the same cheeriness.
"I hope so." I said, nonchalantly with a small smile on my face.
"You will for sure." She said with a confident smile, raising both of her eyebrows in excitement.
"Sorry what's you name..." I asked with a kind smile.
I could tell she was a nice woman just like Bong-cha.
"Nicole. And yes judging by your expression i am American-korean. My father is a Korean while my mom american." She with a wink.
I chuckled and nodded.
"I guess, you already know me. But i must introduce myself, I am Doctor Eun Ae." I said while making eye contact with other three makeup artist too.
"Go and see their performance. I am sure you must be curious. We need to prepare for other competition ahead." She said as she motioned me to go towards the room present ahead of me.
I shrugged as they walked away. I felt my excitement level getting higher and it was hard for me to control myself. I cleared my throat and clenched and unclenched my fist, i walked towards the door. I entered the room and it was a huge dance room with a big ass mirror. I saw Bang Si-hyuk and his assistant there watching them and making some notes. Three cameraman and a few staff members who held water bottles and handtowels.
I felt like a weirdo standing there. The boys started to sit on the floor as staff members rushed towards them giving them water bottles and towels.
I must go. I shouldn't be here.
I turned and was about to place my foot outside the door when assistant voice called me.
"Doctor Eun Ae. Good you are here. I was about to call you here." He said as i turned around to face him.
I could feel their eyes on me. But i kept my eyes planted on the man in front of me.
"Yes." I said as i took a few steps to reach him.
"I forgot to tell you that you need to be there with them whenever there is dance practice. I will provide you the schedule so you can come by yourself instead of being called again and again. " He said as he wrote something down on the writing pad and nodding to himself.
"Okay." I said as i looked past his shoulder to them- Sirius members.
They were standing again, taking their positions.
"I will give you the schedule today after this. Okay." He said and he shut his pad.
I nodded.
"Wait!." I said as he was to turn.
"Yes?." He said as he adjusted his glasses.
He was a tall, lean man with brown hair and honey colored eyes.
"What's your name?. If i need to find you then how would i?." I said while scratching my arm. Which is a habit, i normally do when i am feeling awkward.
"Oh. I am sorry. I didn't introduce myself right. I am Luca." He said with a small smile. Two dimples appeared on his face.
I smiled in return.
"There is a sofa and chairs. You can go and sit there if you want." He said and then he went towards the camera man, giving them some directions. I shrugged and walked to the far side of the room and sat on one of the sofa.
The music was back on and they started dancing. I watched the way Baek Kyung started off with a sexy pose, while Joo-hoo and Tae-ri doing great too. Then Seo-joon took over and man he lit fire to the floor. They all danced synchronously and followed every beat of the music perfectly. I was in trance, my heart beat along with the music. I felt my foot and head bob with music. Nam-joo part came and there goes his sexy English accent. I smiled at that and enjoyed watching them.
I wanted to cheer and clap but they were recording their dance so it would cause problem so, I just sat there bobbing my head to the music.
I glanced around and see satisfied looks on Luca and Bang Si-hyuk. I turned around and made eye contact with those dark eyes. I swallowed hard at the intensity of their stare. I couldn't bring myself to blink. Then he started to dance as Joo-ho part finished. I licked my dried lips to make them wet. I looked towards other memebrs as they danced beautifully against the white floor. They all looked devilishly beautiful.
The song to an end with all of them staring a head with those piercing heart stopping stare. I swear my heart beat stopped for a second as i made eye contact with Baek Kyuny. He had this kind of effect on girls. But he didn't made my heart flutter with his just single stare the way Seo-joon's stare did. His eyes uncovered me from the depths of myself.
"Cut!."
Then hooting and loud clapping rang through the crowd. I followed suit and clapped with a small smile on my face.
"Hello Doctor." Baek kyung greeted me with a smile as they made their way towards the sofas where i stood.
"Hello Baek kyung. You guys did great. Your performance was wow. Mind blowing." I said with a smile.
He laughed and bowed. Others also heard me and returned me their smile. They all took seats on the sofas, breathing hard, sweat covering them from head to toe. Faces and hair glistening in the lights.
They work so hard. They were sure pieces of art- different pieces of art and unique in their own way.
"Please sit." It was Joo-ho who said as he stood up and motioned me to sit on the sofa beside his.
"You don't need to do this. Thank you, but i am okay. Please, remain sited, you must be tired from all the dance." I said immediately as i motioned him to sit with a frown on my face.
What a gentleman.
"You shouldn't feel awkward around us. Please take a seat. It would make us comfortable seeing you not standing as we sit." Nam-joo said with a kind smile.
I sighed and nodded my head and took the seat beside Joo-ho.
"What's wrong Tae-ri?." It was his voice. I could recognize this voice anywhere now.
I looked towards where Tae-ri sat with Seo-joon to my extreme left with his head down while his face scrunched up. But he tried hard not to show. I felt my feet moving towards him before i could think. I lowered myself to the ground, supporting my weight on my knees as i made eye contact with him.
"What happened?. Tell me." I said softly. My eyes searching his face.
"I can't my move my arm backwards." He said as he tried once again, moving his arm backwards but winced lightly.
"I have high threshold for pain. So its okay." He said, wearing a neutral expression.
"You may be fine but let me see. " i said as i stood up, waiting for him to agree.
"Let the doctor have a look, Tae." Suga said to him. Tae-ri sighed and nodded his head. I moved to his right to sit but there was no place for me to sit.
"You can sit here " Seo-joon said as he stood up from beside Tae-ri. His eyes held mine and i quickly thanked him and looked down before i get lost in those pools of darkness.
"Please can you lift your shirt up?." I said
He nodded and lifted his shirt till his shoulder. He had a toned muscular back. I put my warm fingers on his back and started doing my work. I moved my fingers in small circles around his shoulder blades and found tense muscles beneath.
"No need to worry, its a muscle pull. I will massage it with a pain reliever gel and it will be all good. Wait here, let me bring the gel from my office." I said as i stood up from the couch and moved fastly towards my office.
I think i need to made a small first-aid box to carry along. I can't run back and forth from the set to my office. I took the gel from the cabinet and hurried back to them.
They remained seated the way i left them, i guess they all were worried about Tae-ri so they stayed back.
I sat behind Tae-ri and applied some gel and massaged his tensed muscle beneath my fingers.
I felt him hum in relief as i could feel his tense muscle going back to their normal state. I added additional thing to my massage. I knew pressure point areas and if you massage those area, you feel really relaxed. All tiredness is washed away as you massage those pressure points.
As i did, he hummed but it sounded like a moan and i suddenly stopped. My eyes widened and then i heard chuckles and laughs. I could see his ears turning red and i felt my face heating up.
"Shut up." As soon words left Tae-ri's mouth, they laughed loud just to tease him.
I felt bad for him. So i helped him..
"Its okay. Let them laugh. I know how good this massage i am giving is. I have been there before and done moaning too. I loved every single second of the massage." I said as i patted his back.
He turned his head back and passed me a grateful smile as he nodded.
They all just chuckled and talked among themselves.
I continued doing my work and he only hummed and i felt his muscles completely relaxed beneath my fingers. Giving a final touch, i retreat and move his shirt down and covered him with a coat.
"You need to cover your back and neck for the night. If cold air touch those areas where i massaged they will get tensed once again. Okay." I said i stood up the couch.
"Thank you so much. Doctor." He said while bowing.
"It's okay. No problem." I said with a smile.
"Tae-ri, try moving your arm now." I said as he stood up.
Other waited to see if my massaging worked, i wasn't worried at all. Cause i know it worked and he was fine as before.
He moved his arm back smoothly and then in circle and then give his famous bunny smile. I chuckled at him.
"Come on. Let's freshen up and then eat." Tae-hoon said as he patted Jungkooks shoulder.
They all left with a bow with me following suit. I picked up the gel and close it with its cap. Sighing, I walked towards my office when Bong-cha and Nicole carrying their purse came towards me.
"Hey. You free." Bong-cha asked as we stopped in front of my office.
"Yeah. What's up?." I asked as i opened the door to my office and walked in with them following me.
"We are given off early today. So me and Nicole were going out to eat dinner. So we decided to invite you. Want to come?." Bong-cha said as she eyed my every move as i put away my books in a rack and other things to the places where they belong.
Clearing my table. I like neatness and cleanliness.
"Um. You guys should go. I-"
"Please come. It will make us happy." Nicole said as she gave me puppy eyes.
"Okay. But tell me i am not intruding?." I asked, walking towards the washroom, leaving the door open so that i could hear them. I heard their foot steps nearing the washroom as i washed my hands.
"No." They both said cheerily as they grabbed my hand pulled me towards the door.
"Wait. Let me grab my purse." I said chuckling.
They let me go of their tight hold and applying light lipstick and grabbing my purse and we went out after turning the lights off.
