"Hi, We are Midnight Girls!" We say before we sit down.

"So tell me, hows you're new album coming along?" The interviewer asks Jisu.

"Well, It will be coming out tonight, so you guys better set your alarms!" Jisu says, but I can't understand much. English isn't my thing.

"So the offical music video for MM or My Monster will come out an hour before the rest of the album." Eun says.

I just sit there staring out into the crowd. I sort of zone out of what they are saying for awhile, I don't know how long but Mihyeon elbows me after awhile.

"Wat?" I ask in English. The crowd laugh.

"Do you have a love interest? Or would you ever date a fan?" I look at Jisu confused.

"Do you have a love interest?" Jisu repeats. My heart stops.

"Noh!" I say quickly. "Noh lober!" again more laughter.

The interview didn't take long at all. It was over as soon as it started.

We took photos for our social media with the host of the show and before we knew it, it was midday.

We had made it back to the apartment and our manager was going to bring us food.

When I got back I went and sat on the lounge and opened my phone. I had recieved another message from that unknown number. How did they even get my number anyway?

'You think what you did with that boy was funny? Listen to me. I'm here and I'm going to get you. You are going to have to listen to me or I will hunt you down and end your useless life.'

I slowly put my phone down. How do they know? Jisu and Jin walk into the room. I look at them, they seem close. I stand up and leave.

When I get to the hallway I open my phone. I need to contact Chao-Xiang. I open his contact.

'ding'

'If you tell anyone about this you're dead'

I drop my phone. I hear the glass shatter as it hits the ground. I look up and see Yoongi standing there. He's always there at the exact moment. He just looks at me and then hugs me.

"What happened?" He asks as he hugs me tightly. I shake my head. He can't know. They will kill me if he knows.

I wrap my arms around him and rest my head on his chest. We just stand there for awhile in each others arms.

When we break apart I pick up my phone. "Hehe, I'm going to need a new phone." I say lifting up my phone and danging it.

"Yeah." He says patting my head softly.

We walk into the lounge room and everyones already sitting there. I sit next to Mihyeon and hug her, she rubs my head.

"What is this?" I say sitting up and looking at the food in front of me.

Taehyung and Jin laugh at me and I look at them confused. "Just try it." Jungkook says, grabbing a piece of the square shaped chips with a type of dip. I grab a chip and dip and put it in my mouth.

"It's spicy!" I say reaching for a drink. I down about 3 cups of water. "How could you eat this?"

"Chae are you alright? Aren't you Korean?" Mihyeon laughs. "Spicy food is like our thing." I shake my head at her.

I grab another couple chips with a lot of the tomato dip on it and stuff it in my mouth. I hear Namjoon laugh at me.

"Chae's never been able to handle spicy food, not sure why." Namjoon says, "But she's addicted to spicy stuff. It's like she's got European genes."

I look at him before stuffing me chips into my mouth. I down more water.

Yoongi dips his finger into the green dip. "Try this." He says leaning over the table pointing out his finger for me to grab it off. I hold his hand with my tomato covered fingers and lick the avocado dip of his finger. "Eww Chae that's disgusting." Yoongi says wiping his finger on the table cloth.

We all just laugh. I love spending time with my friends and family. "Wait guys, you know how Namjoon said that it's like Chaerin's got European genes?" Taehyung starts "What if she does? I mean her eyes are lighter than an usual asian eye."

I just look at him. I give him a face. The others just look at me and my eyes. "Yeah they are." Jisu says. "There a light brown."

"I-i" I was about to say something when I felt a sharp pain in my stomach. I quickly stand up. "Please excuse me."

I quickly excuse myself. Thoughts playing through my mind, what was in those chips, dip and meat? I ask myself. I always forget what I am allergic to. I should have asked.

I feel the pain get even worse. I have a serious peanut or legume allergy, but there was no nuts in the chips. Beans have legumes. My allergy is a legume allergy.

I can feel the reaction taking place, I know it won't kill me. I rush to the bathroom before I throw up.

"Chae?" I hear a voice say from behind the door. I pull the door open to let Jisu in.

"What's wrong? What did you eat?" She asks pulling my hair out of the way and ties it up.

"Beans contain Legume." I say. "There were black beans in the chips and dip." She rubs my back.

"Oh my gosh, I didn't realise. You never said beans can cause you to react like this." She says.

"Chae? Jisu?" I hear Yoongi say as he opens the door. He looks at me and then at Jisu. "What's happening?" He asks squatting next to me on the floor.

"She has a Legume allergy." Jisu says as I throw up again. "That's all types of beans, lentils and peanuts."

He looks at me "There were Black beans in the Nachos." I nod, I already know that. "Jisu, can you get my epi pen before I die or something? It's in my bag."

"I'll go get it now, don't die on me please!" Jisu says standing up quickly and rushing off towards the lounge room.

"So, first you were upset in the hallway, and now your throwing up in the bathroom, in less than 2 hours." He says. "Chaerin, are you alright?"
