Ep 3: Another transfer

I despise myself so much, but I have to do this to save Super Junior's life. Having more real live shows means more time to practice, more songs being sung, less time to promote or talk about their album, and less people knowing about them since people usually watch television everyday but attends events once in a while. I almost knocked my head on the steering wheel, but realized I need to be careful and make sure WINNER reach their destination safely.

"Are you okay?" SeungHoon pops his head to the front. I look at him for a second before turning my head back to the road.

"Yeah why?" I answer with half interest.

"Here, take this candy. It will make you feel better," he hands me a mint candy.

"Thanks. How does you know I like mint?" I ask him while putting it into my mouth.

"Oh, I don't. I just love these, so I thought of sharing it with you," he said while smiling.

"Ah.. thanks Hoony ah.. you are my savior for today," I reply to him.

He smiles and goes back to the back seat. I do loves mint too.

"Guys, I still have a question. Why do they send you instead of 2NE1 themselves?" I ask again. This time I really has no idea. Plus, this is so sudden.

"2NE1 sunbaenim has another event and they cannot take the risk of cancelling one to go to another one. And since this one will be broadcasted, someone has to go. The only choice they have is to send us since we don't have any schedule today," TaeHyun has been my loyal informant since before.

"Ah..I see. It is clear now," I reply his words and thanked him for his nice information.

Once we arrive, I tell them to not be nervous and just do their best. The event took their time for almost two to three hours straight. They were doing a good job with promoting both their songs and 2NE1 songs. Once they finished, I want to treat them for a dinner, but they all declined it with very humble gesture. They just want to get back to their dorms as they have a very early event tomorrow morning. I understand their concern, so I try my best to drive carefully and just let them rest in the car until we reach their dormitories. When we arrive, I wake them up and tell them to go in safely. Looks like I myself will have to just take this car home as I myself also tired from all this. All of them greet me a good night before going into their dorms.

SeungYoon knocks the driver window and force me to open it to him.

"What's wrong? You left something?" I ask with concern.

"Thanks for today. You are really our savior. Please have time to be my drinking buddy tomorrow night. I am free tomorrow night," he seems like begging me more than anything else.

"Sure. Brings everyone. I'll treat you guys a good food too," I reply with a smile.

"No, no. Can it be just me and you?" he continues.

I am taken aback but try to act normal.

"You do know I am being watched 24/7 by both SM and YG people, right? It is not easy to even go for a dinner with me," I said with a serious face.

"I know a place where you can escape them. If! Only you agree to be my drinking buddy," he said softly.

I look at him again. This guy, really. Is that place even exists?

"You serious? Where?"

"No, no. I won't tell unless you say yes to me," he still being stubborn.

"The thing is, I don't drink. But yes, I can keep you company for the night if you want," I tell him the truth about me not being able to drink.

"Okay, I'll take that as yes then," he smirks and about to turn around.
