IDOL

Chap-1

Umm, yeah that's more like it 

I thought applying a little blush to my pale cheeks to give them some color, to make them feel alive. Soft music blasting through the speakers as i was getting ready.

Closing the lipstick lid, i glanced at myself in the mirror.

Hmm. Decent.

After grabbing my blue denim jacket from my wardrobe, i made my way out. My keys clattered as i bounced my way down through the stairs. Elevator was not an option this morning as there were bunch of people waiting outside and i couldn't have fit in, and i was already getting late. I wasn't that girl who gets late, i was a punctual person.

As i opened the door, chilly air entered my nose, making me glee with happiness. I love winter. I put my arm through the jacket as i looked around, people wearing layers of warm clothes to keep them warm. I walked towards the car parking and found my car moist due to snow fall.

I put the key in and started the car. I still remember the day when my dad taught me how to drive. It was both tears and smile. Tears as in frustration due to not getting what you are trying to do or getting scolded my dad.

Probably the latter. My mind said.

I rolled my eyes and felt a smile appearing on my face. I followed where the annoying navigator lady was telling me to go. I never trusted her. On many occasions she showed me longer route except for shorter, especially when i am in hurry.

I hate it the most, may be you also have experienced it, when she continues to say turn left. And your left is far far away. And she keeps repeating. Argh!.

Anyway, if she wasn't there then i wouldn't have reached my destination. So i was grateful for the navigation system not her.

The guard standing behind the gate came towards me as my car stopped an inch in front of the gate.

"Yes Maam?."

I showed him the card, my doctor card.

His once curious expression fell into recognition and tipped his hat at me. He quickly opened the gate and helped me park the car. I thanked him and got of the car.  I felt adrenaline rushing in my blood in excitement as i faced the building.

Elixir Entertainment.

I felt my stomach twist, heart beat fast, hands sweat, butterflies in my belly. All those things when you find your crush looking at you.

I have been a fan of The Sirius, since 2 years, but i wasn't a dieheart fan of them. I never got the chance to go to their concert or meet them. So it was like my dream come true. I couldn't hide my big fat smile which was now spread on my face.

I hear a click and a second later a flash blinded me.

I scrunched up my eyes, the light almost making me blind and breaking me from my Dreamworld.

"What the hell!." I locked eyes with the culprit.

And there was my best friend Do-yun laughing at me while waving his phone in front of my face. The picture in the phone resembled me.

What!

It was me!. As i tried to snatch his phone he moved back as he was anticipating it. I narrowed my eyes at him.

"Ah. I have a golden picture. I am not going to delete it ever. Its so going on i********: story and oh, on your birthday." He said smirking.

I grinded my teeth, he was taking revenge on me.

"Okay. Whatever. But at least show me the picture." I said getting close to him. He quickly moved back a bit while shaking his head.

"Nope. See it on my story." He said, with a victorious smirk on his face as he pocketed his phone,

"Bastard." I swear at him.

As soon as words left my mouth he started saying beep beep like those in dramas whenever anybody swear they would replace it with beep beep.

I stared blankly at him. Telling him that-i-had-enough-of-him-and-now-he-  needs- to-get-lost. 

He sobered up and gave me a small smile. Encouraging me for my new job. I smiled in gratefulness.

"Eun Ae. Before going in. I need to tell you something very important." Do-yun said grabbing my arm slightly stopping me in my tracks.

I nodded at him and put my now cold hands into my jacket pockets.

"They asked me to look for someone who isnt a fan of Sirius. And i have assured them that you are not a fan of them and you don't even know their names. You have to pretend that you don't know anything about them, anything. Or else they will fire you on the spot. Please understand, they are world largest boyband, which brings insecurities. So they have to be very careful with staff. Understood?." He said looking into my eyes.

His every word was printed in my brain. To be honest all my excitement shattered, now i was feeling a bit nervous. I had never worked with a celebrity before. So it was totally new for me. Yet exciting as well.

How i am gonna pretend i don't know them!. When all the time i am listening to their songs!.

Well, i will handle it.

"Sure. Don't worry." I said, patting his shoulder like it was no big deal.

"Good." He said slightly giving a pat on my back.

As we walked in, I remembered my ringtone is one of their songs. Blood and tears which was one of the my favorite song and one which threw me deep into this fandom. I quickly changed it to another artist song.

We made our way in and entered an elevator.

"Was i late?. Did i kept you waiting?." I asked him.

"No. I was there long enough to see you drooling over a building." He said with a chuckle.

"Hey!. I wasn't drooling okay!." I said hitting him on the arm.

"Ow. You hit like a man. Bro." He winced and clutched the arm where i hit him.

I smirked, satisfied. My brother and my friends have told me that i do hit like a man. Which i was proud of. I was strong enough to defend myself only physically. Not verbally. I am one of those people, who stutter during arguments and then later after a few days, strong comebacks make their way to you. And you wish, you wish, if those comebacks would have come into your mind at that time it would have burned others. But nope, your pretty mind is too dumb at that time to think of anything.

The elevator stopped at its destination and i felt a wave of confidence burst through me. Putting on a small smile we walked out of the door and were greeted with many voices.

Voices consisted of someone laughing, someone urgent calling to others and  someone angrily yelling. Many eyes watched me with curiosity as we walked past them. Some gave me warm smiles and some remained blank.

We descended some stairs, passing rooms and then reached the CEOs office.

He knocked the door and the door opened immediately. I raised my brow, bruh, so fast.

"Hello Doctor Kim Do-yun." Ceo said who was a small heighted with chubby cheeks greeted with a smile.

He gave off laid back older brother vibes. He hugged Do-yun as he was his close friend.

"Bang Si-hyuk this is Kim Eun Ae. My friend whom i talked about. For my replacement." He said to him as he slightly pushed me forward.

I bowed. He did too.

"Nice to meet you Doctor Eun Ae." He said giving me a small smile.

"Nice to meet you too."

He asked us to take seats as he sat on his seat behind the table and dialed a number on the phone beside him.

"Come into my office." He said  and put the receiver back,

"My assistant will be here shortly, he will describe the contract and all the rules and regulations to you. Until then would you like coffee or tea?."

"No. Thank you."

"Wait here. I will bring coffee. Bang Si-hyuk your usual?" Do-yun said standing up.

Bang Si-hyuk threw him a grateful smiled and nodded his head at him.

As soon as the door closed behind him, Bang Si-hyuk cleared his throat. I turned to look at him. He was grabbing his throat, on instinct i ran towards him.

"What happened?. Can you breathe?. Is there anything stuck in your- "

"I am fine. Dear, relax." He said chuckling.

I moved back from him and continued looking at him. Confused

"I have a sore throat for a few days now. So it was painful for me to drink water. Thats all. I am fine." He said.

"Did you drink anything cold?." I asked him.

"Um. Yeah i drank cold water a lot in past few days."

"When did you find your throat irritable?."

"Three days ago." He said nodding his head.

"Did you fell ill?."

"No. I am perfectly fine."

"Please open your mouth." I said as i took my phone out of my pocket and turned on flashlight.

"What?" He said, throwing me a funny look. I blinked, realizing i started doing check up before explaining it to him

"I have to look at the inside of your throat. To see any inflammation. Please cooperate with me, it's for your own health." I said softly putting my hand on his shoulder.

He nodded his head and obliged.

I examined his oral cavity, everything was fine just slight swollen tonsils and reddish soft palate.

I grabbed a pen from his pen stand and wrote the medicine and its dosage on the writing pad present on his table.

"Here you go. Take this medicine, it will make you better in no time, only if you take it regularly and on time."

"Thank you so much. Doctor Eun Ae." He said with a grateful smile.

"I am back." Do-yun announced as he entered the room. He held three coffees and don't even ask me how he did it.

He stopped at the doorstep as his eyes followed me, standing there with a writing pad in my hand.

"Why are you standing there?." He asked me, walking towards us and  passed each one of us coffee

"She was doing my check up."

"Check up?. Are you alright?." A worried voice reached my ears.

I looked at a young man standing in the door, holding a file. He must be the assistant.

"I am fine. I just had a sore throat and which she already checked and prescribed me medicine." CEO said throwing a smile at my way.

I nodded my head in understanding.

"Thank you Doctor  Eun Ae." The assistant said and came to sit on the sofa. Do-yun and i followed suit.

He opened the file and pulling out some papers from it and put them in front of me. I picked up the paper and started reading it.

It was the contract. I was here for 1 year. I read all the rules and regulations, which were acceptable and fine by me. No issues.

"I have no issues. I agree to your terms." I said handing back the paper.

"Then you must sign it, Doctor Eun Ae." He said. Whose name i still don't know.

Do-yun passed me a pen and i hold it tight. I took a breath and signed all papers. As i put the pen down, i looked to Do-yun and smiled. He gave me a nod in return.

Bang Si-hyuk and assistant congratulated me and assured me that i would have a great time here.

"Doctor Kim, why don't you show her around before leaving. And meet me before going okay." Bang Si-hyuk said

"Okay. Come on." He said, nodding his head and looked at me

I followed behind him and looked around very keenly. Many people stopped and greeted Do-yun and me. There were many nice people around.

"And here shooting is going take place." He said, pointing to the set which was beautifully made by the staff.

He walked around a bit and then opened the door to a room.

"And here is your office." He said as he entered it 

It was small room but seemed comfortable. Two sofas against the wall beside the table. One plant pot beside the sofa. Added a fresh touch to the room. One bed at the back of the room and beside it was another door. Which must be the bathroom.

"Its really good. I like it."

"That's good. Now see here." He began explaining where which things were present. Although they were put beneath the sticker but he wanted to make sure.

"I got it. Thank you." Patting him slightly on his shoulder

He nodded and looked back at me.

" I am going to miss you bro."

" Me too. Whenever you need me, give me a call okay." He said while giving me a side hug.

I patted his back.

"Take good care of Chun-ja. And of course, yourself too." I said smiling.

He nodded his head.

"I guess its my time to leave. I have three hours left. Bye." He said looking at the time on his watch.

I nodded. Sadness crept over me.

We have been best friends since college, although he was 2 years elder than me but our friendship remained strong.

Knock knock.

"Looks like your first patient is here." He said smiling as he went to open the door.

" Hey!."

"Hello!. "

"Doctor Kim"

Several voice's rang in the room. A complete chaos as several young boys huddled around Do-yun.

Hugging, patting on the backs and sharing some jokes with Do-yun, the boys turned around as they notice me standing behind them silently.

"Guys. This is my friend and your new Doctor. Doctor Kim Eun Ae." Do-yun said coming to stand next to me.

And oh boy. Seven pairs of eyes staring at me. Seven deadly beautiful people.

They were The Sirius.
