하루토 • to my star

When I snuck back into the room after doing face masks, Doyoung was on his phone the luminosity lighting up his face in the dark. He waved to me in the silence as I quietly closed the door trying not to wake the other three sleeping boys.

"No one needs to be awake at this hour."

We were leaving the room at this ungodly hour because we were filming for the music video where it needed to be dark, but thankfully other than this scene, the rest was in a studio.

"Can someone carry me, my knees are going to buckle." And I would soon regret my words when Junghwan came up behind me squeezing me and shaking my lifeless body.

13:00

I was sitting on a seat outside, in front of me was a construction site type structure where they were going to film Yoshi, Jaehyuk and Asahi.

One of the staff gave me a camera and said to do interviews I didn't exactly know what I was meant to do but I went with the flow.

I took the opportunity to go up to Asahi and Yoshi as they were finished with hair and makeup and were just standing by with a small hand fan.

"So my fellow (ew) Japanese. Any TMI for your scenes?" I extended the camera and looked to my side at them for their answers.

"It's hot." Asahi said while fanning himself with the little gadget. I laugh at his vague but true reply. The air was definitely.. thick.

"Do you have everything?" Yedam asked from behind me looking as I put the last bits of my stuff into my bag. "I think so. Did you pack that plushie I gave you?"

"Yeah obviously, but not without nearly being assaulted by Jaehyuk for it." I laugh as Yedam just widens his eyes like he's having flashbacks. "I could have died, that man is big." I playfully push him away while giggling as I zip up my bag

12:45

While we leave the hotel I stay behind with the staff as the members are surrounded by bodyguards. People had caught wind this was where we were staying and there was a crowd of people outside, I was shocked because we hadn't even debuted yet but that's just YG for you.

As they left the doors of the hotel to get the bus they were swarmed by fans. "So many people." I say to one of the staff I was walking with. "Yeah, they must have gotten the information somehow." I feel guilty as I see them get compacted in and struggle to move. Cameras were flashing and the fans were loud, I loved our fans but wasn't this a bit much?

I saw them get on the bus and then I got in after them with our manager and a couple of other staff. Once I got in I looked around and sat next to Junghwan who was facing the curtained windows, I reached down and grabbed his hand playing with his fingers for comfort.

I was sitting on a bench watching from afar Jihoon, Yoshi and Doyoung as they filmed themselves play on their skateboards.

After a while they came running over to me with their skateboards in hand. "Sorry for the wait. You ready?" The "ready" was in context to the fact I came out to play basketball with them.

17:35

The score was 4:5 the two eldest team being in lead and this last game was with our team attacking. Jihoon towered over me using height as an advantage I tried for the ball a few times before I (just lightly) stepped on his foot and when he lost focus and bent down to caress his foot I grabbed the ball and threw it to Doyoung and the game ended in a draw.

"That's cheating!" Jihoon whined while dramatically massaging his toes.

"What do you expect me to do with the disadvantage of seven inches?" I said seriously while shrugging my shoulders before laughing at his facial expression, let's just say his mouth nearly hit the floor.

Don't worry though I brought him mint ice cream on our way back home and his face light up soon after and his foot was completely forgotten as he happily ate it.

I stretched my arms as I sat up, Junkyu was still sleeping we started to schedule our naps together and it was nice not waking up to an empty room.

I climbed down my ladder which was now in a more convenient place from when my head was around the other way. Walking past the older boy I went into the kitchen seeing 3/4th of the maknae line filming themselves eat ramen.

"What are you doing?" I asked walking into the frame and looking down at the pot.

"Junghwan swore by his ketchup ramen so we're trying it." Jeongwoo said looking at me and probably judging my appearance. I wore pyjama bottoms and an oversized band t-shirt.

"There's ketchup, garlic, ham and noodles." Junghwan said as he put some into a small bowl and handed it over to me with chopsticks.

"You forgot something."

All of us looked over to Doyoung with confusion and I just blew on the noodles not doubting they probably put weirder stuff into their concoction.

"Our love."

Cue the deafening silence.

"This is good, Junghwan-a" I giggle.
