Slaven parked his car outside the building premises for easy maneuver. He forgot about her coming with him that afternoon kaya kailangan nilang maglakad ng medyo malayo-layo mula sa company building. Syempre, dahil sa kondisyon niya, akay-akay na naman siya ni Slaven.
"Slaven - -"
"Anio! Slaven-ya!" Sigaw ng kung sino di-kalayuan sa kanila. Napalingon sila sa pinanggalingan niyon. Ilang kabataang babae ang pasugod sa kanila habang tumitili. Ang iba'y may hawak na camera. Nakatawag na rin iyon ng pansin sa ibang naroon na nakatingin na rin sa direksyon nila.
"Trouble. Let's go." Napatili nalang siya ng kargahin siya nito, para marahil mas mapabilis sila dahil hinahabol na sila ng mga fans nito. Pero bago pa man sila makarating sa naka-park nitong sasakyan ay nadumog na sila ng isang kampon ng mga fans nito.
"Slaven, kûnyônûn nugu imnikka?"
"Kû yôjaûi irumi muôshimnikka?"
"Oppa, nô-mu pogo ship'ôssôyo!"
"Mian hamnida." Slaven wave them thru and wrap his arm around her even more tightly kahit naibaba na sya nito. They're just a few paces away from the car pero ayaw silang paraanin ng mga fans nito. Siya nama'y ingat na ingat na hindi maapakan ang injured na paa. Papagaling na iyon, baka magdugo pa.
"No camera please. Thank you all for your warm welcome. Tangshin-ege kip'i kamsadûrimnida. Kapshida!" They finally made it to the car. But as Slaven was about to get her inside the car, somebody grab her and she was off-balance. She almost got dragged and fall on the ground if Slaven was not fast enough to catch her in his arms and embrace her.
"Hey! No violence, jebal!" Namula ang mukha nito sa galit. He protectively covered her until she was able to settle as he did on his side of the wheel. Agad nitong pinaandar ang sasakyan. The kids kept on pounding the windows.
"They're the wild ones I'm afraid of." he said fleeing away. "Are you okay Ella? Is your foot hurt?"
"N-No.. I'm fine. Just a bit scared. But I'm fine now." Pag-amin niya.
"I'm sorry for what happen. They, my fans, are normally friendly, well 90% of them. Those teenagers belong to the other 10."She laughed at his joke. "Let's just go meet Shinye then?"
She nodded in approval. Back to the real thing. She's here to work, she must always remember that. She won't have her feelings astray.
Isang seryosong Shinye ang nadatnan nila sa fashion boutique na privately dinarayo rin ng mga sikat na artista sa Korea. Nasa private office sila ng manager ng store.
"You have to see this. It was uploaded barely minutes ago. oh... how I hate the internet." Nanggigigil na binitbit nito ang laptop at naupo sa single seater na naroon. Binuksan nito ang laptop at hinarap sa kanila.
Kuha iyon kanina nang dumugin sila ng mga fans ni Slaven. Kitang-kita sa video kung pa'no siya 'yakapin' ni Slaven. Maging ng hablutin siya ng isang fan at muntikan'g sumubsob sa lupa. It even zoomed on Slaven catching her in time and wrapping his arms around her protectively while getting her inside the car.
May captions printed in Korean at the top of the video with exclaimations and question marks. Base sa reaksyon ni Shinye doon, malamang hindi maganda ang mensahe ng video.
"W-What does it say?" she boldly asked.
"You don't have to know." Slaven calmly answered.
