17 - finale

Minho sat in a chair as the makeup artists and staff cared for his bruises, applying ice and such, bandaging his slight cuts from thrashing around earlier and applying makeup to the love marks from Jisung.

"You're almost ready, are you excited?"

Minho shrugged, "Somewhat excited... I'm scared, what if they don't like me anymore?"

"Oh please, your fandom has stayed up ever since you left us, Minho!" the woman from earlier, Kim Yoona, exclaimed.

The male giggled as he hummed, "Alright alright, I hope it goes well."

"Yup! The news report I made earlier is already blowing up, I'm pretty sure there's a whole crowd outside of the building right now..."

Minho threw his head back as he laughed, "That has to be an overstatement."

Yoona shrugged, "Maybe maybe! You're all done by the way, let's go."

Minho followed her to the studio, sitting on a comfortable seat as a camera was settled about ten to fifteen feet away from him.

"Recording in three... two... one."

Jisung and Felix had rushed home, stress visible in their expressions as they collapsed onto the couch.

"Did they just grab him?" Chan asked, hands in his hair.

"Yes! Some unknown number called me and Felix at the same time, then he was taken!" Jisung yelled, pinching the bridge of his nose out of frustration.

"Guys! Minho is on a live stream!"

The live was turned onto the TV, everyone's eyes wide as they watched him speak.

"Hello! It's Lee Minho, or most of you know me by 'Lee Know'," Minho smiled. "I apologize for disappearing for a few years! I was extremely sick and remained in the building, then suddenly out came a news report was that I got abducted."

"Of course, this was false. As you can see I am perfectly fine, I still have my charming smile." he giggled with a wink. "But, I wanted to take a break from modeling; so my agency had put out that I was abducted as well, trust me, this wasn't true."

He pulled out his phone, looking at the comments on the live. "One of you guys said it looks like I'm reading off a script." he bursted into laughter. "No! I would never, it's nice here."

Chan tapped Felix's thigh, "Comment! Say that he needs to come back."

"He probably won't see it, but okay."

Minho looked at his phone once more, a smile forming at his lips. "When will I start going to modeling shows again? Ah, well, that's on my boss to decide."

Humming a tune, his face dropped at a comment, soon forming into a smile. "I need to come back? Come back where silly? I'm already home." he winked.

"Fuck! He saw it, but he's being forced not to talk about us." Jisung groaned, sighing as he rubbed his forehead.

"Guys, he seems awfully happy, I know when he's faking." Jeongin whispered. "I feel like we should just leave him be."
