Jia Reiko

As soon as I took my luggage and got out I saw a familiar person waving at me.

"Rei ah!" He called and signaled me to go there so I did.

"Oppa! what are you doing here?" I asked.

"Hannah told me to pick you up. I also got Hannah's key to her condo unit." He said while picking my luggage and put it in the trunk.

"Gumawo oppa. Don't you have a schedule today?" I asked.

"Opseo. The others have their own individual schedule though. You know I only write songs." We both got in the car.

"Yeah, that's why you're more rich than they are even if you don't do anything." I sarcastically said while raising a brow.

"That's totally unfair! Composing is not easy." he defended.

"Whatever you say Lava!" I teased.

"Hey! want to meet the other members? It's Ken's birthday today." He said.

"OMG! I almost forgot! Thank you for reminding me." I immediately pulled out my phone and posted a photo of Ken doing his aegyo ang greeted him happy birthday.

"You always posts whenever it's our birthday. So wanna come tonight? You'll meet them in person."

"Is it only you guys? No filming?" I asked.

"Of course we'll film. I'm inviting you as a guest and a fan." I pouted but come to think of it, I'll be able to meet the other five members.

"Fine I'll come but pay me an appearance fee." I smiled cutely like a dog and tickled him on his side.

"A-arasseo. Q-quit it." He said containing his laughter.

After a few minutes he had dropped me off Hannah's condo unit and told me he'll pick me up at 9 in the evening. As soon as I entered the unit someone was at the kitchen and cooking something.

"A-annyeonghaseyeo!" I hesitantly greeted. It was Hannah's half-sister.

"A~" she's looking at me intently as if trying to remember who I was. "Reiko!" he finally said.

"Ne, eonni." I smiked at her.

"Hannah-neun?" she asked.

"They'll be here in three days. I came ahead." I said and saw a glint of loneliness in her eyes. She must have missed her.

"I'm sorry I came here. I slept here last night because I missed her." She smiled. "I'm cooking breakfast. Go ahead and clean up. Do you know where the guest room is?" I nodded. "I'll call you when I'm done cooking."

"Ne, eonni." I bowed in respect and went to my room. Yeah, the guest room. I went straight to take bath to freshen up. While I was changing someone knocked at the door.

"Reiko-ah, bapmokja~" She called outside the door.

"Ne, eonnie! I'll just change my clothes."

"Arrasseo." I heard her walk away.

After eating breakfast she also bid goodbye. I found out that her father died and she came here because she misses her. I had no words to say I just listened to her and hugged her as she cried a while ago. I think I'm going to talk to Hannah about this. I decided to get some rest.

Kim Wonshik

Hi! I'm Kim Wonshik but call me Ravi. Hannah and I met few years back in a park. She was so young back then and when she became a trainee she used to call me and cry, telling me how she was being bullied. And everytime I always convince her to come to our company but she refused.
