The story of Kim Haru as an assistant manager and cameraman of the famous kpop boy's group, Seventeen. She has been working for Seventeen almost 5 years and still counting. Thanks to her hardwork at the first year of working, she has been promoted t...
It's been a week since then, Hoshi and I are getting more closer day by day. It's good for us too because i was assigned to be with him, recording his new project such as being a model, ambassador and promoting his new song called "Stay". So we're not awkward with each other and get comfortable while working. The members also noticed how close we are lately, well I can't tell them what was the reason but i will, someday maybe ?
For this month, they have to practice for their new upcoming tour called "Follow". I was so excited and couldn't wait to see them perform on stage again. But, everyday wasn't all about clear sky.
One day, all members gathered in one meeting room. I wasn't included but im curious so I waited until they get out. I wander what was they talking about...?
Then, everyone get out from the room. And all of them giving support to Seungkwan but i couldn't bring myself to ask anything... maybe later. I left the place to give them some time together.
After i heard the news from staff, I've became aware of what happened lately... Seungkwan will be taking a temporary break due to health concerns...only the members and certain people knows about it in more details, so I won't asked for it since i want to respect his privacy. Now, the members just keep practicing... without Seungkwan.
It's been a week since Seungkwan isn't here, i missed his jokes, singing and all... he must be taking a rest at Jeju. I wish I could visit him but my schedule is getting packed. I even have no time to record a cover for my followers. While im in the middle of work, I received some notification.

On the weekend ...
I arrived at Jeju, where Seungkwan live. I quickly booked a taxi from here to the address that Seungkwan gave me the other day.
Flashback
" Im at Jeju right now as you know... but can you come here when you're free ? I think only you i can tell this... it's okay if you cant" said Seungkwan on the phone but i cut him off. "I will go, for whatever it is, i will come to you."
End of flashback
After finally reached Seungkwan's house, i was greeted by his mom and him. They're so kind to me. I took a glimpse of Seungkwan, he looked so skinny now... was he on diet ? Or ...
Seungkwan preparing a drink for me while im with his mom in the living room. His mom talked a lot about his sweet son, and i was so happy by just hearing that. I also introduced myself as a staff that working for his group and his friend to his mom. Then his mom said that i will always be welcomed if i want to come here, im just flattered and shy, dont know what to respond but i smile to her. His mom then said this, "please take a good care of my son... he's a good boy, have a nice personality... i dont want him to be hurt by anyone, can you do that on my behalf, Haru-ah ?".
I really get what his mom means by that and promised her that his son will not get hurt... because he is surrounded by his precious friends and people he loves. His mom just smile, relieved that her son was treated well by people around him. When Seungkwan brought some drink and snacks, his mom go resting at her room. Leave me and Seungkwan alone to have a conversation together.
"Have you been well, Seungkwan-ah ?" Softly i asked.
"... getting better. And how about you ? The members ?" he asked me back and i replied, "we're all good... the members missed you so much. They wished that you can perform with them, all together".
" i wish i can... but not for now..." he chuckled.
"Kwan-ah... are you hurt ...?" i asked him gently.
He just smiled and drink some tea he brought just now. I waited patiently for him to respond while we both enjoyed the wind softly blowing and brushed our face.
" it's hurt..."
" but i dont know what is it ..."
" I tried to figure it out..."
" but it's hurting me more"
I cant help but offer him a hug. He wants to but he's afraid if he making me uncomfortable. I then scooted over and hug him. He slowly hugged me back.
"You know, I searched on google that hugs and other physical connections reduce levels of stress hormones, such as cortisol, in the body. High levels of stress hormones can cause a whole host of health issues including sleep problems, skin problems, obesity, low immunity, and more." I said that to him like im a doctor. He laughed, "what now ? You're a doctor ?". "Look ! You laughed !" I said and pointed at him.
"Whenever you feel something... like negative vibes such as stress, anxiety, anger or sadness... you can hug your members. Im sure theyre more welcome if you do that. Hug as much as you want and cry as much as you want. We're always here for you, for each other." I comfort him in a way that it's okay to take a break from something, cry as much as you want.
From that day, I spent my whole two weekends with Seungkwan in his hometown. He brought me to his favorite healing place and it's so amazing. He also told me about his condition and im worried for him. I took care of him in aspect of his diets, medicine, time for rest and all. Although it's just for two days, we both get along pretty well since our age were close and decided to be informal with each other.
On my last day of visits, Seungkwan offered to send me to the airport. We both promised to take care of each other and always in contact if anything happened or whenever they are free.
"Please take care of my hyungs too, although theyre looked like that, theyre still my hyungs and i love them, with all my heart. And tell them im fine here, goodluck on their tour and i cant wait to join them soon." He said. I nodded and hugged him before go into the airport.
