“Thank you so much for coming. Again, EL Entertainment is very thankful for your time and effort to be here. Just watch out for further notice for EL Entertainment's anniversary party coz you will all be invited. And don't forget the concert before that, tickets are almost sold out, don't forget to grab it now. Slaven and Ella will be performing along with other EL artists like Taeyang, Dara and 3N, B-Bang, NxtGen and others. For the last part of this presscon, we'd like to share to you the video of Ella singing Slaven's song, 'Come back to me' which made her our contest winner. We hope you will enjoy it. Have a wonderful evening everyone. Thank you.” as Shinye's parting words were culminated, her video on the large projector screen came up.
“Let's go Ella.” Min Ho came to assists her.
“Where's Slaven?” She turned left and right to look for him, as camera flashes everywhere and her singing she's hearing on the background. Reporters also are swarming towards them.
“Right behind us. Just go, reporters will be crowding you any moment now, we have to flee.”
“Slaven!” She called out behind her. Slaven's not there. They are on the way down the improvised stage.
“Here!” Someone on her side got hold of her arm and lift her off the stage. It was Slaven.
“Where were you?” she asked him. Reporters are now crowding them, security people trying to barricade the press.
“I have to jump off the stage to get down first. With this people gathering around you, you'll end up with a squashed foot. I have to secure your foot.” He was now carrying her like a doll.
“M-My foot?” Gusto niyang matawa. Her foot's welfare, above all else? Still he sounded genuinely concern she can't help but smile.
They were able to make it to the elevator, being held in place by the security.
“Reporters will be camping here. So we can't stay here for now. We have to flee.”
“What about the penthouse?”
“They can't know you are staying here. If they know, you won't have privacy. Even if the security's tight, we can never be confident. They'll try to sneak out every chance they have.”
“Where's Shinye and Min Ho?” she asked when the elevator doors started closing. Cameras continued flashing, she playfully wave her hand at the cameras.
“I'm here.” squeaked a voice right behind her, it's Shinye.
They must be more than fifteen people including security inside the elevator.
“Min Ho?” she called out again. Nobody answered.
“He was probably left out. You don't have to worry about him. They won't devour him. He'll be fine.”
“He was just behind me.” She felt they shouldn't have left him, she feel guilty.
“Don't worry he'll be fine. He must be on the basement parking by now.”
When they arrived at the basement parking minutes later, Min Ho is indeed already there.
“Min Ho! I'm glad you're okay!”
Slaven have put her down now.
“Hey, they didn't even bother to take a picture of me. I'm not the celebrity here.” Min Ho teased.
“Let's separate vehicles to confuse reporters. For sure they will be tailing us even if we leave the building.” Shinye suggested.
“They'll tail the one with the most security on it. We will not ride that one.” Slaven presumed.
“Yes, you're right.” she agreed.
“Slaven take Ella with you and use my car.” Min Ho offered. He also took off his dark gray jacket and handed it to Slaven.
“Let's change outfits.” Hinubad din nito ang baseball cap na suot at inilagay iyon sa ulo ni Slaven.
“Good idea.” Slaven also took off his coat. Naka black denims lang pala ito.
“Here's my car key. Just return my keys to my condominium tower. Leave it to the receptionist after this okay?”
“Thanks man. I owe you one.”
“No problem. Just take care of yôdongsaeng Ella.”
“Yeah, I will.”
“Min Ho take the van with the security.” Shinye instructed.
“Sure.” Min Ho wearing Slaven's clothes rode off with the security team.
“I'll take the other van with the other half of the security.” Shinye hugged her. “You two take care. Wait fifteen minutes to clear before leaving the place okay?”
“We will.” anilang dalawa.
Silang dalawa nalang ni Slaven ang naiwan sa executive basement parking ng building.
Parking space siguro iyon ng mga executives at talents ng kompanya. Ang elevator na sinakyan nila kanina ang tanging entrance papasok sa basement na iyon maliban din sa mismong entrance ng mga sasakyan palabas at papasok sa building.
This awkward silence is making her uneasy. Nagtatayuan ang mga balahibo niya sa batok.
“Uh... where is Min Ho's car?” she ask to break the silence.
“Ella.” Slaven whispered behind her. Gumapang ang kilabot na naramdaman niya pababa sa likod niya. Damn!
“Hey! Don't do that!” she almost freak out.
Nakakailang na talaga ang sitwasyon nila ngayong sila nalang ang naroroon. Bakit nagiging uncomfortable na siya'ng kasama si Slaven?
He just smiled at her.
“Yôrô kajiro kamsa hamnida.”
Napaatras siya ng bumaba ang ulo ni Slaven palapit sa mukha niya. She almost lose her balance but he was fast to wrap his arm on her waist and pull her close back to him. Then in an instant he kisses her on the lips!
She never got the chance to react cause the kiss ended just as swiftly as it started. It was a very light, sweet, milli-second kiss but she found herself dumbfounded for a moment. She was abashed!
She could feel her cheeks burning red, her heartbeat crazy, and her self breathless!
“Tangshinûn aju arûmdapsûmnida.” he said and embraced her.
'What is he doing?' her mind freaked out. He can't do this! She can't let him do this!
