2nd half of 2023
I didn't only see Jungwon after debute. I saw him before that too. I won't ever tell this to anyone but I saw him in school all the time. He was my senior in Hanlim, and I saw him a lot of times rushing through the corridors of school in his stage outfits with full makeup, other times in casual clothes with droopy eyes and on rare occasions in the school uniform.
He was a leader as well as a very good student. A complete opposite of me. I was bad in studies. Okay, worse sounded much better. I even wanted to drop from the school after my debute was finalized because I thought I won't be able to pass the exams. I stayed though. For some reason, seeing him balancing everything gave me some strength. Ae-Cha and Lavender volunteered to help me, so I got through another year at school.
"My God Jungwon is here!" My classmates had gushed about him when he had come to school for graduation photoshoot in his fire red hair. I never approached him, instead, I tried to hide myself from his vincity. He clearly had no idea of existence in the school and I wanted to keep it that way.
"Kim Chayoung. What are you thinking?"
Olive threw an arm around me. I came out of my memories, and smiled. "Nothing. Just random stuff." I looked around for other members. "Is Nari in uni? What about Ae-Cha and Ruby?"
"Ae-Cha is out for a company meeting. Nari went.. Uh for the gym and Ruby is visiting her family."
I hung my head and ran a hand down my face. Lavender aka Nari was going through intense work out sessions to reduce her weight. It pained me to see a lively cheerful girl turned into someone I had no idea how to deal with. "Call Ae-Cha. She would know what to do," I said and got my bag from the table. I had to go to inkigayo today.
A part of me felt guilty for troubling Ae-Cha but this was getting out of control now. She must know what Lavender was going through. My mind went to Jungwon again when I saw one of Enhypen ads on my way. Was he alright now? Was he still sad? I lowered the window a bit, and breathed in some fresh air. Jungwon Sunbae please be alright. I met with his glaring posts and smiled.
It was my last day as Inkigayo MC as I was stepping down as my MC job after seven months. My contract was short, yes, because we had a lot stored in for Midnight Blues future. For the promotional events we were heading to USA. Although our official promotion would start in our second year, we were going to test waters there first.
I was so excited. We took our flight and enjoyed with our new fans and the show talk. I got to celebrate my 18th birthday with my members and received gifts and love. I was happy. Maybe too much happy. I let my guard down too. I let myself lose.
Forgetting how cruel the world could be.
When we headed back to Korea the next day of my birthday, The LA airport was crowded. It felt like I couldn't breath in between the reporters and fans. My hand gripped Olive's tightly as I guided her through the sea of people. Ruby and Lavender was shielding Ae-Cha because she wasn't well with people getting close to her. Our bodyguards were trying to protect us, but in vain. Even they hadn't expected this today.
My eyes glanced around, scared and I saw a few reporters shoving their camera under the security tape. I jumped away because I was wearing a skirt, and shielded Olive from the creeps. I had patted myself numerous times for being strong. For going through shit and still maintaining my head, but this moment I was scared. Olive was on a verge of fainting. She was young, younger than me, and I felt so bad for her.
Somehow the nightmare ended, only for me to wake up to another one. A reporter was able to click my underskirt picture. It wasn't that clear, but it was there. "We'll take a legal action. Chayoung, you listening to me? We won't let it go. Okay?" Ae-Cha held my hand, her eyes hard. "It wasn't your fault."
