Autumn Leaves

"Linger"

"Eunhee... you should let go of the past now." My grandmother spoke those words while caressing my hair.
"But... grandma..."

"I know the pain you felt was unimaginable but just know that without difficulties, you'll never be able to achieve what your heart desires."

Upon hearing those words, I started to cry.
I felt numb.
I wanted to hold on to her a little longer.
But as she wiped my tears, she stood up and started to walk away from me.
I called out her name a few more times before she vanished from my sight.

I awoke from my sleep when my phone rang.
While wiping the sleep from my eyes, I answered the phone, " Hello?"

"Eunhee! Please you gotta help me! I badly need help today! Just this once please?" Sohee frantically explained.

I suddenly jumped out of my bed upon hearing her voice.

By the tone of her voice, she seemed desparate.

"What's so important?"
"You gotta say yes first!" Soohee answered.
I know she doesn't take no for an answer so I decided to give in.

"Okay okay but just this once okay?"

"Thank you Eunhee! I know I can count on you!" She replied with excitement.

"You see, I'm still here in Busan and I can't come back there in Seoul. My car got stuck because of the heavy snow. I have this press conference to attend to and the people that I will be asking questions are really big in South Korea today. Well, not just in SK but all over the world! This event will be a big help for our company! So please Eunhee, be my representative."

"Sohee! What the hell? You already know I'm not used to these kinds of set ups!" I exclaimed.

The reason why she wanted me to say yes to her request first was because of this set up! She of all people know the reason why I chose to work behind the spotlight. I'm not comfortable in crowded places.

"I know this is too much to ask but please Eunhee just do this once for me." She pleaded desperately.

I let out a huge sigh.

"Okay. But what am I gonna do there? I'm not yet prepared for the questions I'll be asking.
Where is the location?
Who are those people I'll be asking questions to?
Are there any Identification cards that I'll be representing to enter?" I asked a series of questions.
"Hey! Relax! I already sent it to your e-mail so just chill! There will be cues for you on when your time will be up to question them. I'll be sending you the location and of course the people that you will be seeing is BTS!"

"BTS?" My brows furrowed. "I'm not following Sohee. Can you explain further?" I could hear her groan when I asked her those questions.

"I already told you about them before but you weren't listening. You were so busy with your cheater boyfriend! Don't worry I'll just send you the information about them. Memorize it and don't forget their names! Don't get it all mixed up! Please don't ruin this for me! Oh! By the way, the press con will start at 9am so you have exactly 2hours to go. Wear some nice clothes okay?"

This is why I hate these types of things because you have to dress nicely to avoid being looked down on.

"Okay whatever Sohee! Damn you! You'll pay for this!" I growled at her.

( Little did Eunhee know, this request from her friend will contribute a big impact in her future.)

Meanwhile...

"Hyung!" A familiar voice just shouted outside my room."Don't forget about the press conference later."

"Yeah I know Jungkook." I replied.

I was already awake even before Jungkook reminded me.

Upon getting out of bed, I felt so empty inside. Like a certain piece is missing and needs to be filled to make me whole again.

I shrugged off my unusual thoughts, picked up the towel that was hanging outside the cabinet and headed straight to the bathroom.

As i took a shower, the face of  the chubby girl I clashed into a few days ago just popped out of my head.

She looked oddly familiar but I can't seem to put the pieces together.

She kept on staring at me like a cute little kitten. I wanted to pinch those chubby cheeks as she blushed. She tried to hide her face but it was too late. I already saw her flustered face.
That incident made me smile like an idiot.There's something about that awkward girl.

I just got out of the bathroom when Jungkook yelled again. " Suga hyung! Where getting late! Are you finished?"

"Yeah! Almost!" I lied. I quickly took my outfit that was prepared by the stylist noona from the closet and got myself ready.
