Austin's POV
TJP called me out. I'm nervous like I don't know, I don't even know if Kaori is fine now, and speaking of Kaori, I can still smell her perfume when we bumped into each other, I can still smell her scent on my shirt, it looks like I won't wash this shirt anymore hahaha.
"Sir, here is the man who took Kaori to the clinic a while ago, what's your name again sir?" the guard introduced me.
"Austin" I replied.
"Please take a seat Austin" I took a seat, and as of now I'm here in the conference room, it's familiar to me because this is where the basketball players mostly hold their press conferences after the game.
What are we going to do here? Well, I had nothing to do with Kaori's passing out, and what's worse, I haven't watched the concert anymore.
"I would like to apologize for what I've done to you, I've found out what happened to Kaori, I'm sorry" –TJP
"Sorry too sir" I bowed to him as a sign of giving them respect, isn't that how they do in South Korea? "But I won't accept your apology, because of what happened a while ago, I've already missed their concert" I'm a little annoyed by what he did, it seems like he did it on purpose. My ticket was wasted. This cost P13,000. If I had known that I wouldn't be able to watch it tonight, I wish I had just sold it to Raymond, how can I sell this anyway? Even if they have a concert next year, no one will buy it for 5 cents.
"I've waited almost a year to watch them live, but what happened? I left my work to watch Strawberry live" I'm still angry with him, I'm sorry.
He just stared at a corner in silence. "OK fine" Is that all? Damn crazy, he is the one who ruined my schedule.
"Take this" he handed me a ticket.
"What can I do for this? The concert is already over" What will I do with this ticket? Their concert is over already, maybe he's crazy already, I don't know why he's the manager of Strawberry.
"Read the text from the ticket, eolin-aicheoleom ilgneun beob-eul baeuseyo?" (Please learn how to read rookie) And he's even squealing in Korean, maybe he's saying some bad words at me.
Strawberry World Tour 2020 in Jakarta, VIP Seat
Ticket No. 432
Wait wait? Jakarta? In Indonesia? "You've given me this?"
"Geuleohji anhseubnikka? animyeon geunyeoneun nae kkeoya" (I guess you don't want it, ok fine) Even though I don't understand what he's saying, it's like he's returning the ticket. Did he hold me this ticket? I can understand and speak English dude. "If you don't want it, fine. I'm giving you that in exchange for your ticket"
He will replace my ticket but it's still the same, he just sent me away too far. I want to watch them but I don't have to go to Indonesia, I'll expense too much.
"If you have a problem going to Indonesia" he put down a paper and a pen. "Write your contact details here"
"Does that mean? You'll be the one who's in charge of my expenses going to Jakarta?" I asked.
"Yes" I was happy but there were things that entered my mind right now, I'm glad because I have a second chance to meet Strawberry but my problem is, I still have work, Strawberry's concert in Jakarta is 2 days ahead, tomorrow they will fly to Jakarta.
"The scheduled concert will be at 6 pm, that ticket is for VIP, just for you" –TJP
"Thank you, sir, kamsahamnida" (Thank you so much) I still have a second chance to see them plus, I'll see them in Indonesia, and they will pay for my fare, it seems good things happened today.
"Last question sir, how is Kaori now? Is she performing there?" I asked TJP.
"Kaori is ok for now, after the concert she needs plenty of rest, by the way, Kaori wants to say thank you to you" –TJP
"Me?" yes me.
"She would like to thank you for bringing her to the clinic, Kaori is a sickly girl, the reason why she collapsed a while ago" ohh so that's why, and why would they blame me for what happened, Kaori even thank me, I want to greet her personally, is that possible?
"I've just done what's best for her, tell her to get well soon so that she can perform well at their next concert"
Achievements unlocked! A member of Strawberry appreciated what I did, yahoo!!! But I still haven't watched them tonight.
THE FOLLOWING DAY
I have already prepared my things to go to Jakarta so I can watch Strawberry's concert, I won't be there for long because I still have work, I'll just tell Nicole that I'm absent and she will tell my boss that I'm on leave.
I hung up the clothes I wore last night, this is the shirt I wore when Kaori and I bumped into each other, the smell of her perfume is still there, the scent hasn't faded yet, I won't wash it yet, I'll keep this as my remembrance.
Kaori's POV
"Yawn!!" Oops, it's already noon, I slept too much after our concert, where are the girls?
As of now, we are in a private hotel, and we will fly to Jakarta for a few hours to continue our world tour.
"Eodiseo meog-eossseubnikka?" (Miss where are they?) I asked the assistant at our hotel.
She didn't answer me, I've just spoken a little English. "Where are the girls ma'am?"
"In the dining area having lunch ma'am, follow me" I followed her to the dining area, I also forgot to change my pajamas.
And finally, I saw the girls together. "Annyeong Kaori" (Hi Kaori)
"Eoseo meogja" (Let's eat) –Misty
"Eotteohge jinae? ajigdo gibun-i nappayo?" (How are you? Are you not feeling well again?) –Yeonjoo
"Nan gwaenchanh-a" (No I'm good)
I just need plenty of rest to relax, the reason that I collapsed yesterday is because of our daily schedule, before we went to the Philippines, we had a photoshoot in Korea for the daily magazine, and then after that, we flew to Japan for our world tour then we went back to Korea for our rehearsal. I only slept 3 to 4 hours every day.
The food is delicious, I'm enjoying my stay here in the Philippines even though it's too hot here, At our concert last night, PH Berries were so loud that we didn't hear our voices while we were singing, I appreciate the effort of the fans here in the Philippines, I wish we could visit here again.
"Kaori, Eoje nuga jinlyoso-e delyeo wass-eoyo? namja?" (Who brought you to the clinic? We heard that a guy helped you) –Yujin
"Ye, gei gat-ayo?" (Yes, why do you think he's gay?)
"Ayieeeeee" stupid girl, she's making fun of me again. "Jal saeng-gyeoss-eo?" (Is he handsome?)
"Molla" (I don't know)
About that guy who brought me to the clinic, I would like to thank him, if isn't for him, I wouldn't performed last night. I want to thank him personally and I also felt sorry because of what happened to me, he didn't watch our concert last night according to Tae-jung.
After lunch, we prepared our things because we were going to Indonesia for the continuation of our world tour.
