Once More

Chapter V | Disguised

Scarlett' POV:

I slipped on the baggy hoodie and plopped the bucket hat down on my head to hide my hair. Hyunjin handed me a black facial mask and I put the straps around my ears, covering everything but my eyes.

"Look at the ground." I did as he told me.

He giggled under his breath and I slowly looked up to see him smiling, his eyes turning to crescents. He was so...cute.

"You look perfect, Scarlett. Or, should I say...Felix." He smirked. I didn't know who Felix was, I'm guessing it was one of his band mates. If I looked like a band mate of his, then maybe the paparazzi wouldn't think much of it and we could avoid dating rumors.

Which, according to Hyunjin, are a big deal in the KPOP industry.

I gave a small chuckle. "This better work, or you'll be buying me strawberries for life." I crossed my arms playfully. He laughed, this time louder than his usual giggle; it was sweet, like it came from a more genuine place. He tilted his head to look at me, before saying, "I'll do that anyways."

I blushed lightly. Luckily, the mask was still covering my cheeks so he couldn't see, but I had a feeling he still knew.

"Alright...this might be overwhelming, but it'll only last a max of 5 seconds if we can make it to the car." He explained. I nodded hesitantly.

We stepped onto the elevator. While we rode down, he continued to explain to me how the flashing lights would probably make me dizzy, and how the yelling of the cameramen could feel threatening. He ensured me that I was safe, and that they were false threats. I found his words comforting.

We stepped out of the elevator and sure enough, there were tons of paparazzi outside, as well as some social media news reporters, and a few fans that were in the area. The camera flashes bounced off the glass panels and made me feel a bit nauseous. "Head down, always." He reminded me. I put my hands in my pockets and looks to the ground so no one could see my face.

"Here goes nothing." He mumbled. He lead the way as we bravely walked outside, the car already waiting for us with the door open. Screams from fangirls could be heard across the globe,

"HYUNJIN-AH!!!"

"HYUNJIN!!"

"FELIX-AH!!"

"YONGBOK!!"

I tried my best not to giggle. These girls were desperate, but I mean, would wouldn't be? Your favorite artist is right in front of you. If Justin Timberlake was walking in front of me, I'd probably make a fool of myself as well.

I might not understand the KPOP industry well, but I was able to relate it to the boy groups I grew up with back in London. One Direction was my entire teenage-hood. I was WEAK for Zayn Malik.

It felt kind of weird to be perceived as a famous KPOP boy. I couldn't decipher if I was flattered or creeped out; all I knew was, the attention was overwhelming.

Paparazzi rudely called for me to pose for them, which I ignored. Fangirls we're screaming about how much they loved me and how handsome I was. It's a good thing I had this mask on; underneath , I was grinning so hard.

As we walked towards to car Hyunjin gestured for me to get in first, so I followed. I climbed in the backseat and continued to look down. Hyunjin turned to the fans and gave a small wave before blowing a kiss and climbing in the back seat with me.

"YONGBOK-AH!! OH MY GOD !!" One girl broke down in tears before the car door closed. Once we drove away and the coast was clear, I burst into laughter.

"HANDSOME?? They called me HANDSOME??"

"Oh my god oppa!! You're so hot !!" Hyunjin mimicked one of the girls. We both erupt into loud laughter, trying to catch our breath.

"Damn. You have to deal with that every day??" I questioned. He smiled and gave a small shrug. "I don't have to, I get to." He corrected. I could see the love he had for his supporters gleaming in his eyes. It was really sweet, actually.

He started laughing again. "I still can't believe they thought you were Yongbokie!" He said, almost proudly. I was assuming this was the same guy as Felix.

"So is Felix your band mate?" I questioned. He gave a small nod. "Ah yes, the fans love seeing me with Felix. There's a whole ship on the internet for us. It's hilarious."

Throughout the car ride, he talked about his members and explained to me their name. "So you remove the R, and you get Stay. That's what we call the fans."

The way he talked about his members and the fans was so sweet to me. His eyes lit up like he just saw his own child take their first steps.

Now that I knew about this side of Hyunjin, I wanted to know more.

I had to know more.
