Austin's POV
I'm at the airport on my way to Indonesia, it will only take a few hours.
My phone suddenly rings, who is this? Oh, it's just Mr. Reyes, what's he up to?
"Hello sir, good morning"
"Good morning too engineer, I haven't received any accomplishment report for today, are you on site?" -Mr. Reyes
I'm in big trouble. "No sir, I'm on leave for two days, maybe I'll be back on Wednesday" was my excuse, I don't have work on Sundays. He's the only one who forcing me to work on-site, I'm not getting paid for Sunday activities.
"No you're not, we need someone to watch over there" –Mr. Reyes
"There is an engineer who will substitute there while I am gone, by Wednesday or Tuesday evening, I will return to the site"
"Ok, fine, I will go there later, I need to go, sorry for interrupting" –Mr. Reyes
"It's ok sir, if there's a quest..." No, I won't. "If you have any questions or concerns, just text me" I don't want him to call because my phone will be busy filming the concert. After our conversation, I put my phone down, I might be late.
The others don't know that I'm going to Indonesia, I am only the one who knows about this so no one will stop me from going. If I tell my mother that, she won't let me go.
A few hours later I arrived in Jakarta to watch Strawberry's concert, I hoped there would be no disturbance in my watching, I might end up going to another place, and I hoped it would be ok if TJP took care of it. As far as I know, their next world tour will be in Singapore or Malaysia.
Strawberry's concert is still on Monday so I still have time to go out, I also need to spend time because I've been very stressed the past few weeks at work, even right now.
When I got out of the airport, I took a taxi to look for a hotel in town, while I was riding I took out my video cam, I was going to use this but video cams are not allowed at the Strawberry concert, so I'll just use my phone. I took out my video cam to take a video while I was on the trip.
"Wooooo!!" What's up slapsoils!! I'll just watch the concert, I'll even go to Jakarta hahaha. I'm too bad.
While I was videoing the scenery, I realized that I was just in the Philippines too, of course, they are close together. But the Philippines is still more beautiful.
Yeonjoo's POV
We only traveled 2 hours away after our concert in the Philippines, our next destination will be Jakarta, after three days, we will go to Singapore and Kuala Lumpur before going back to Seoul.
Unfortunately, I am very tired as of now and I want to take a short break now, even though we went to three countries.
"Selamat datang gadis" (Welcome girls) They greeted us after we left our car and went to our hotel. Most of us are looking tired because of a long trip, we need to take a rest first because tomorrow, we will have our concert here in Jakarta.
While in our room, it looks like I'm getting bored here, I can't sleep even though I am tired. Hmmm, maybe I need to relax since they are asleep. I stood up on my bed and went outside.
"Excuse me, ma'am, where are you going?" there is a guard outside of our room.
"Ehhhh...." What would I say to him? Hmm, never mind. I went back to our room and sat on the couch. I need some companions but I won't bother them.
It's very hard to become famous in these kinds of situations, I can't do what I want, but I don't want to quit because I love what I do and we have a financial problem before I become a Korean Idol. After I became an idol, I couldn't go outside by myself because some fans would distract me and take a photo with it, I wanted to be free, only just today.
I went back outside but the guard was still outside. "Sir? Can I have a request?"
"What is it, ma'am?"
"Can you bring me to a beautiful place?"
"I'm sorry, ma'am if they found out that you went outside, I will be dismissed from my job"
"I'm sorry about that, I just want to relieve my stress away, do you know any place? Don't worry sir, I would tell that to TJP"
The guard helped me and he called another guard to take me to a place where I could relax, he brought me to a museum, two floors away from our room, I wore nerd glasses and a kitty headband in order not to know my identity.
"Kamsahabnida" (Thank you)
The guard didn't know what I was saying. "I mean, thank you, sir"
"If you need help, I'm only standing there ma'am" The guard stayed at the entrance to guard me, I won't escape here, the place is beautiful.
I looked at some old sculptures and I was amazed when I saw them, it's not my first time but I miss going to the museum, I'm beginning to miss my mother.
Next, I went to wall paintings and a guy was taking a picture of it.
"It's beautiful, it's my first time seeing this, it's only here in Jakarta"
Oh, there is a certain guy here, but I think he won't recognize me.
This is the photo I want, a beautiful bouquet. I took my phone and took a picture of it. The guy beside me took also a photo of it.
After seeing the flower portrait, there is a painting of Romeo and Juliet. I miss watching this in some theater.
"True love lasts forever, like Romeo and Juliet, when Romeo found out that Juliet died, he also sacrificed his life and hugged Juliet's body" Why he is saying that sadly? Has he had a problem? So dramatic. "But Juliet wasn't dead at all when she found out that Romeo was dead"
"She stabbed herself with a dagger and joins him with death" he looked upon me when I followed his monologue, I know that story, he doesn't need to tell me that.
"Joining with me?" What?
He was shocked when she saw me, do you think he knows me? I hope that he is not a Berry.
"You looked familiar?" he said.
"Huh? Who?"
"Yeonjoo? You looked like Yeonjoo my bias"
My body got weakened when he found out about me. "Maybe it's just your look-a-like, do you know Strawberry?"
"Ahhh...no, I don't know Strawberry"
"You don't eat a strawberry? You don't like strawberry flavor?"
"Hmmm nope"
"What taste do you like? Oops sorry, I don't know how to speak Bahasa, I think you won't understand me, I'm Austin" he introduced himself by offering a handshake.
"Hello"
"Isn't allowed to offer a handshake here? Maybe that's your tradition here"
What should I do? I need to pretend that I'm an Indonesian.
"Call me....." what name should I use? Hmmm. "Miya, yeah I'm Miya"
"Hello Miya, what brings you here to the museum?" –Austin
"Just to take a break, I am very tired" I don't know who he is but I think he is a decent person. "How about you?"
"Just to take a break too, I've got stressed on my work" –Austin
"Why do you go here?" I asked.
"Nothing, I couldn't find any places here in Jakarta that can relax my mind, so I went here to this mini-museum near my room" He is staying here? What a coincidence.
"Why I am being sad about this? I'm sorry about what I said a while ago, I just remembered something about Romeo and Juliet" –Austin
I couldn't answer him, he was just a stranger, but when I looked at him, there was something that the picture meant to him. Did he lose his loved one?
