Ignorance At Its Finest (Taehyung x Yerin)

Chapter 3

So here I am, standing at this stage and trying not to panic too much.

I recall a conversation, I had not to long ago with one of my managers ( right now is probally the best time to think about this, but anyways it can not get any worse then that), about how I do not behave idollike enough. Well it has not been the first time I got scold for not been girlish enough. You draw to much attention with a not idollike attitude, he had told me. Everytime this happens I try to covince him to be better in the future. I try, I seriously am, but somehow it alawys turns out differently then being planned. It is like the more I want to avoid any Drama, the bigger it gets.

There is this one person I feel the most sorry for.

The so called person, sits at his table and his eyes are as big as tennis balls. Well at least. It is the addresser of the little pink letter.

Hoseok sunbaenim next to him, can not hide as laughter, while he hits his hyungs shoulder constantly. The same goes to the other members.

Jin sunbaenim sits on his chair, not believing his own eyes. Taehyung on the other hand just smirks at his older friend.

"Yerin-ah!" Sojung unnie calls me. She points at the microphone in front of her.

Wait? What? Am I suppose to give a speech now. I try to recall any recent memory in agreeing to do so, but I can not come up with some. I thought only unnie was suppose to thank the People, who had been working with us this year. Guess I was wrong.

"No, I cant.. I"

Too later.

Sojung unnie had already dragged me in front of the mic. This is not good. I just wanted to pick up the letter, while she was giving her speech. Urgh. 

"Unnie.." Yuju wisphers.

Ups, I almost forgot the speech.

I flash  my biggest smilie at the camera.

"Thank you Buddy and my members, you were great. Hana, dul, set... this has been.."

And my members follow automatically the words, which are actually only suppose to say by Sojung unnie to end the speech and leave the stage.

"Yeoja chingu imnida. Gamsamnida!" And thy bow.

If glances could kill, I would have probally already been dead by now. Based on Sojung unnies expression those were not the words I was expected to say. Well sorry for that.

My members start to move towards the stairs. Nonono! This is not good. The letter on the ground is in the other direction, but I can not leave it there. I will get scold by managernim anyway since the whole embaressement happened in TV. I sign.

The stage is almost empty by now. Run Jung Yerin!

And that is what I do. I sprint the few meters to the little pink letter, pick it up in record time and run back down the stairs, out of the cameras view. The whole scene could have probally been a little less obvious, but I am Jung Yerin after all.

And I finally have the letter in my hand. Holding onto very thightly.

The only cheer I get from the sitting area is Hayoung unnie. She is the one, who cheers the loudest for me. Her Apink members are being quite embaressed. This crazy girl.

No one of the other girl group show any approval. Oh yeah about that. Let me explain this later on.

I make my way towards the door, through the corridor and in the dressing room, where my managers and staff members have been waiting for our return with the award.

"Jung Yerin!" My manager comes at me. "You know, I do not tolerate such attitude on TV. We had talked about it so many times already. What was that?"

Umji appears right behind me. Her little hands grap the pink letter out of my grip, for everybody unseen.

"Are you even aware of what sort of rumors might start due to your action? This is ridicolous! hand me that message over!"

I show him my empty hands. "I am sorry managernim, I dropped it accidently again." I am really sorry managernim for lying to you, bit I can lose the letter again.

He signs. "We will talk later. I am just happy, that your kids hard work got awarded!" And with those words he leave the room.

"Unnie, from who did you get it from?" Eunha eyes me excitingly.

"Yeah, who in this world would hand you a letter. Why did not you tell me?" Sinb glares at me annoyed.

"Jealous?" I tease her.

"Whatever." She turns around and heads towards the couch. This kid. Seriously.

"It is for Sojung unnir, right unnie?" Umjis little voice breaks the silence.

"How do you know kiddo?" Sojung unnie laughes at her. Umji shrugs.

"It is  true. I was suppose to give it to you from Jin sunbaenim, but I guess I did not do such a good job at carring out the message."

"To be honest you suck a s a carrier."

My members laugh at me and I can just grin.

"Soooo unnie what will you tell us, what is been written in there?" Yuju tries too catch a glimpse over Sojung unnies shoulder while she is trying to read it.

"Nope. And now get out of my way kiddos. I have an important letter to read."

I close the dressing room door quietly behind me. We still have some time left before we are about to perfom, while we wait backstage. I leave my members in the room, wandering through the empty corridors once again.

There are so many things People from the outside do not get to see. Being an Idol is not easy. It is considered a competition, anywhere and anytime. Our last year had not been so good for us. I, personally have to admit, that last year had still been good for us, but not as good as the Girl Groups of the Big3 companies. A few years ago, I have heared this rumor for the first time. I thought, that it was just something some random people would come up with, till I finally experienced it myself.... last year. It is said, that groups from the biggest three enternainments are actually suppose to be only seen  hanging out among only other Idols from the three giants in Korea. For example SM Idols should only hang out with  the one from YG or JYP and the other way around.

Til my group had been doing well since except this one year, I have never questioned my friendship with any of the Idols of the bigger company. That suddenly changed last year, when we underperformed and could not keep up with the competing groups.

I felt ignored on purpose by my so called friends, when cameras and other people had been around. The calls got less and less and I finally gave up trying communicating.

"Jung Yerin!"

I sign. Not again today.

Hello my dear readers. This chapter has been less about the Taehyung-Yerin-Kai relationship. I hope you liked it anyway. I promise the next chapter will be better!

So what do you think was written in Jins letter for Sojung. Let me just tell you it is totally not what you excepted it to be. Haha

 

Til the next chapter, have a good day and stay tuned.
