Minho pov

A fansign in India wasn't expected at all. My manager called me to say we had a fansign in India. I was the happiest. I would get to meet Kia and apologise. I would tell her that only my name was fake, the picture wasn't.

"HYUNG" Felix called me, shoving my thoughts away. "What are you thinking about?"

"Kia. Will she forgive me?"

"Hyung you two are close, of course she will. Tell her that 'my name was fake but not my emotion.' Tell her your idol life was hard and you wanted to talk to someone who saw you as 'you' and not some famous idol." Felix said.

"Easier said than done" I said as the flight took off.

(20 hours later)

The flight landed at 4am according to Indian standard time and noticed that all others were asleep. Felix was fast asleep and didn't wake up until I shook his shoulders hard. The others woke up easily, even Hyunjin who was quite excited to come to India.

"We have a fansign in 6 hours. This is in Delhi, where we are present at the moment. Then at 12 we have a flight to Hyderabad where we have another fansign. Tomorrow our day is free - we can do fun stuff." Chan hyung summarised the plan. We were being driven to our hotel from where we should get ready and go to the function hall. I looked at the 30 unread messages from my side to Kia. She was online but she ignored my messages - which pissed me off. Only if she read my reason. If she read them she would know the truth.

We slept for an hour before changing into our new clothes. We drove to the venue and sat for the fan sign. Initially I was afraid people would not come up here - as BTS is at its peak in India. Every street has some or the other thing that represents their love for BTS. But I was shocked to see a large crowd of fans attend the fan sign. All of them were STAYS which made us feel loved.

After the fan sign ended, we took our flight to Hyderabad and reached there by 2. We had 2 hours to rest. Our fan sign in Hyderabad was quite fun too - but my mind was occupied by Kia. I was trying to message her to get her to meet me but she wasn't opening my messages at all. I sighed and gave up when I saw her post tagging her friend Kusmita. GOT IT.

As soon as I got in my car I messaged Kusmita through my official account. I introduced myself and told her everything. I told her to keep it a secret. She was delighted and couldn't believe her idol was texting her. I asked her where I could meet Kia and she told me they were having a tiny party at the bar near Kabir's house. She sent me the address of the bar and I took a separate car and drove off. Chan took another car and came behind me. The others drove off to the hotel.

I got a message from Kusmita that Kia and Akshay were completely sloshed. I asked Kusmita to go out with Kabir and assured her that Kia would be in safe hands. Usually, when someone asks you to leave your drunk friend alone - people shouldn't. But Kusmita did. I reached the bar and noticed Kia resting her head on the table. I sighed and went closer. I saw her looking at me. She then turned her head away from me and talked to Akshay.

"Hey....I've seen you before." she said which made me chuckle. "I am Minho. Lee Minho from Stray Kids?" I said, trying to make her remember.

"Ah yes...Do Yoon. Now I (hic) remember. Liar...I feel so vulnerable. Get out" she said. My heart sank - her drunk state of mind is registering me as Do Yoon - the cheat and not Minho - the idol.

"I am sorry for lying..." I started but she cut me off.

"I t-trusted you Yoon. You made me feel like family and then you made me feel like shit." she said.

"Lets get you out of this place." I payed her bill along with Akshay's and asked her to come with me but she was adamant and refused to budge.

"I am staying" she said pouting. I found her cute but then realised I had to keep my priorities right. Admiring when she is sober, taking care of her when she is...sloshed.

"No you need to get back to your home." I said firmly.

"Akshay is here too....I-I don't wanna leave him" she said and I felt like kicking the life out of that guy. Who does that guy think he is? How did he get a special place in her heart?

I decided drunk Kia would be harder to convince and easier to lift. I lifted her bridal style and expected her to protest but I guess being drunk took that ability away from her. She wrung her hands around my neck and made herself comfortable by resting her head on my shoulder. I turned around to see Chan enter. I turned my eyes towards Akshay and signalled Chan to take care of Akshay. Akshay's address was shared by Kusmita so Chan drove Akshay to his house (the key wouldn't be necessary as he shared his house with his other roommates and the others were home) and I decided to drive Kia to her home (address shared by her friend again. And the key was in her handbag - according to Kusmita again.)

I placed Kia on the backseat gently and realised she was limp. She had passed out. I drove to her house and spent 10 minutes searching for the key. There were a lot of things like - extra pins, phone charger, lipstick, hairbrush, tampons, handkerchiefs, cookies and the key was underneath all of them. I placed her on her bed and made her warm by covering her body with blankets.

I called Kusmita and she squealed in delight - "Oh my god...!"

But she couldn't continue as I scolded her - "What type of friend are you!? You left her alone?"

She apologised and promised she wouldn't repeat it. Chan called me after minutes and told me he left Akshay at his home. I decided to go to the living room and sleep on the couch. I slept like a log till 8am and woke up to the doorbell ringing. I opened the door to find the newspaper man standing there.

"Madam...?" he asked me.

"Sleeping." I said.

"Newspaper" he said giving me a newspaper copy of that day. I read the headlines and decided to wake her up. But when I entered the room - the calmness made me stay there and just wait for her to wake up by herself. Her hair was coming on her face and she looked like she was lost in her fairy land. But it did not last long - she woke up.

"Y-You are Lee Minho from stray kids!" she exclaimed. She looked at herself and hid inside the washroom. I knocked on her door - "Are you okay?"

"How did you come here? What happened last night?"

"Nothing! I swear." I said. She washed her face and came out. "I am the person who texted you as Do Yoon. Please....only my name was fake." I told her immediately. I couldn't wait to get her forgiveness.

"Why did you lie?" she asked me, her eyes teary. "Why?"

"I deserve to be known as Lee Minho - the 25-year-old who loves cats and loves icecream. For once I don't want to be known as an idol. Is that so wrong Kia?" I asked her, my eyes teary. She became quiet. She was about to say something but Chan interrupted the talk. It was urgent, so I left almost immediately - but not before asking her to text to my official instagram account.
