Yoo Ae's POV
"Omg! Omg! GOT7!!!!"
"They said the original members will perform, too."
Noisy girls inside the rest room. I'm actually beside them in front of the mirror, but I'm pretending not to care.
"Is my eyeshadow fine now? I need to look good in front of JB oppa!"
I glimpsed at that girl's eyeshadow. Heol. She looked like she's going to a cabaret.
"Me! Me! Jinyoung oppa's sooooo cool~"
She's calling Jinyoung 'oppa' though she looks like she's five years older than him. Gross!
"Mark Oppa is the hottest among all of them! Mark Oppa.. omona!"
I agree. I agree. Mark Oppa is the hottest. But since I'm also a fangirl, I'm going to laugh at her for not being able to get close to him. I bet he doesn't even know she exists. Ha-ha.
"I'll go for the yunhanams (younger handsome guys). Yugyeom and Jackson~ kyaaaa!"
If only girls knew what Yugyeom really is in person, they won't like that stupid brother of mine. kk
I haven't met that Jackson yet so I can't comment on him. I left the restroom.
Those girls would surely take hours there. They might not realize auditions over. I shook my head. Tsk.
The auditorium was full of people when I arrived. This is not good. I'm nearsighted. I need to see Mark oppa up close while performing! Eotteokhae?!!!!
After a few seconds of thinking..
Ah! A light bulb turned on inside my head. What's the use of having a brother in that group if I'm not going to take advantage of it? I really wanna laugh like a witch now.
I dialed my brother's number.
Ring..
Ring..
Ring..
The number cannot be reached. Please try and call again later.
My brother isn't answering.
I called again.. and again.. and again..
Still, no answer.
Yugyeom!!! I could feel the fire going out of my nostrils already.
May I rephrase my statement a while ago. What's the use of having a brother in that group if I can't take advantage of it?
Then I remembered Jinyoung.
Haist! I should have approved with his friendship offer and exchanged numbers this morning. I never thought he could be useful in times like this! Nan jinjja baboya! (I'm really stupid!)
Mark oppa, gidaryeo. (wait) You're greatest fangirl will find a way to be next to you no matter what.
I went out of the auditorium, made sure that no one is following me. Well, of course, because no one should know about my secret pathway towards the auditorium's backstage.
At the storage room beside the auditorium, the ceiling has an opening that a person can crawl towards the opening of the auditorium's backstage ceiling. That's my secret pathway. I used it everytime I wanna sneak out to use the grand piano in the auditorium during non-practice hours.
I pulled out the lid of the backstage ceiling's opening, and looked down. Seemed like no one is using this room.
I slid my feet first and jumped towards a table situated under the square hole. "Arggggh!" I screamed as I lost my balance.
Closing my eyes, I thought I'm going to hit my head straight on the floor.
But I was shocked when I suddenly felt two arms under my shoulders and legs. My reflex made both my arms hang unto that someone's neck.
My heart pounded so fast as I opened my eyes.
"Yah! You almost hurt yourself!" an angry Jaebum flashed right bedore my eyes. "What the hell are you trying to do?!"
I wanted to reason out and save myself from embarrassment for what I've done. But our faces are so near from each other that I found myself looking straight at his eyes and unable to open my mouth.
His eyes are drowning me that I can't look away. Those eyes.. I could see concern and worry.. and sadness.
He put me down, and that was the time I was able to retain myself. I closed my eyes facing down.
"What are you doing here?" He asked. "Why are you up there?"
I breathed deeply before I turned to face and answer him.
"OHMYGOD!" I screamed covering my eyes. "Wear your shirt!" I demanded.
Jaebum is half-naked. How could he face me with no clothes?
I heard him chuckle. "Are you sure you want me to wear my shirt?"
"MWO?!!"
"Okay." He said casually. "Just tell me next time if you wanna see my abs. You can even touch them."
"Shut up, Oppa!" still my hands on my face.
"I'm done wearing my shirt."
"Jinjja?"
"Eung."
But when I took my hands of my face and opened my eyes, he's still half-naked. "Oppa!!!"
I immediately walked out of the room. He was laughing as I walked out and slammed the door.
I put my hands on my chest. I felt my heart pounding maybe triple times as usual. My cheeks getting hot and I'm sure they are as red as tomatoes.
Then I realized something..
Did he catch me a while in naked state?
So that means..
I was hugging him while he was naked?!!!
"Argggggh!"
