Chapter 26: Out In The Open

*Sophie's POV*

Today was the day, the day DongWoon would be going back to his usual idol lifestyle. We were waiting in the backstage of the Gurupop show and I couldn't believe it. I couldn't help but think about all the kpop idols I love that have stood in this very spot; such as SungJae, MinHyuk, Kiseop and probably even Kevin. I just stood there smiling like an idiot, trying to not have a total freak out.

"Why are you so happy?" DooJoon asked as the makeup artist brushed powder over his face.

I shrugged and looked down at my feet. "No reason," I fibbed and then a middle-aged man, about the same age as DooJoon walked over to the guys and said they will be going on in 30 seconds so they moved to stand behind the door that leads into the set of the Gurupop show.

"Hana...dhul..seht...go!" The man said and the doors opened and the guys walked through then, waving and bowing. I caught a quick glimpse of Daniel, one of the MC's and my heart fluttered, he was even better looking in real life.

I took a seat behind one of the monitors that was hooked up to the cameras and got comfy. The guys were still stood up and as usual there had been a poll. The MC's welcomed the members with open arms and SanE spoke, "Today's poll question was 'who do you think has the best body?' and I'm going to call out our winner, which is...no surprise, Gikwang." Gikwang smiled and walked to sit in the biggest, comfiest looking chair.

Daniel laughed and looked at the sheet of paper his mate was holding. "Second place is the leader, DooJoon." Daniel motioned towards the second largest chair. "Third place is second oldest member, HyunSeung." He punched the air and took a seat next to DooJoon.

SanE smiled and looked at the three remaining members. "Fourth place is... Dun dun dun... JunHyung."

"In your face guys," he boasted, pointing and laughing at his two younger friends.

"Now now hyung," Gikwang laughed and shook his head slowly. "That's not very nice."

"Anyway." SanE started routing around his desk for something, he grabbed another sheet if paper and read it. "Second to last is DongWoon." Yoseob frowned and folded his arms, scowling down at the cushion on the floor. DongWoon struggled to sit down on the small chair, grasping his injured side.

"DongWoon-shi," DooJoon spoke and stood up. "Take my seat. That doesn't look comfy at all." DongWoon thanked the leader and took a seat in the chair DooJoon had vacated, sighing happily. I could tell the MC's wanted to ask DongWoon what was wrong but decided to leave it.

The guys took it in turns pulling out one of the rolled up coloured pieces of card to read and it was not the last one. DongWoon stood up and limped over to pull it out of the bucket. He sat back down but before he could unroll it Daniel said, "May I just say, you're all speaking English very well, the last I remember you could only speak the basics."

DooJoon spoke, "Well we've all been having some lessons and we have a close friend who is English."

"It's nice being able to speak to our fans in English without needing a translator," JunHyung added.

DongWoon unrolled the card and started to read it. "It's from JulieB2uty who is from Spain and she says 'all if us beauties have been worried and are glad to hear that DongWoon is better but we are wondering what actually happened?'" The maknae frowned. "We were hoping nobody would ask this, but as a group we decided out fans deserve to know the truth." DongWoon took a deep breath. "The night before Gikwang's birthday we went to the cinema and I was attacked and dragged away from the guys and tied up in a warehouse."

SanE an Daniel sat their listening intently, their eyes getting wider with every word that the maknae said.

"The guys tried their best to help me but they too got attacked and tied up." DongWoon couldn't say anymore.

"Luckily," Gikwang continued. "I had called our English friend and told her where we were and she managed to free us. The capture tried to stab her but DongWoon jumped in the way." DongWoon nodded and lifted up his top to reveal the three inch long row of stitches that were starting to scar.

The two MC's were both astonished, jaws hanging low, eyes bulging. "Who did this to you, and who is this girl?"

"For legal reasons we can't reveal the name of the kidnapper but we can tell you about our saviour," HyunSeung said and scratched his forehead. "She's called Sophie, she's a transfer from England who is in DongWoon's classes and she just burst into our lives, but I'm glad she did."

What the hell is he doing? Why is he mentioning my name? Does he not realised that their fans are going to go absolutely scitzo on me.

"Sophie saved my life, and there is nothing anybody could say that would make me hate her any less." DongWoon spoke slowly. He looked directly into the camera and said, "Come out here." Was he speaking to me?

A young lady walked up to me and told me to go onto the set. I moved at snails pace through the door and when it closed I knew there was no turning back. The lights blinded me and I tried my best not to look directly at the camera. The camera focused on me and I started to boil up inside.

Daniel looked at me with a shocked expression. "You're the girl from the papers."

I nodded, my cheeks flushing a pale shade if pink. Yoseob got up off his cushion sipping out if the orange carton he had been given and wrapped his arm around my shoulder. "She's the most amazing girl I know. Sophie has been helping us for ages, she's taught us how to speak English, cook and has even helped us with the choreography for our up coming music video." Yoseob shook my gently and I hide my face behind a curtain of my own hair.

"Yoseob," I whispered into his ear and he looked at me. "Can I please go back behind stage?"

"No, you need to stay here, you've done too much for us to not take any credit."

All I could think about was Mayumi. She is a huge Beast fan I knew she was defiantly watching this and now knew I had been lying to her constantly for months. I just looked at the camera and smiled sheepishly. "I'm sorry, May, I will explain..." I paused and took a deep breath before finishing my sentence in Japanese. "I swear."
