Unforgettable (a B.A.P fan fiction)

Chapter 2

By the time we returned to our seats, the lights were already off and the fans were silent, awaiting their idols to go up and rule the stage.

They weren't disappointed. The boys went up, all classy in black suits and white ties. One of them one caught my eye and winked in my direction. By the screams of the fans that sat next to me, I figured it was safe to assume his name was Himchan.

And judging by the audible gasp Ria let out when she saw him, she wasn't going to take her eyes off him backstage. If she got her way that is.

Then I felt someone watching me and looked to Himchan's right. He was staring at me, and rather noticeably too. I blushed and looked away. 'Damn you, Bang Yongguk,' I thought to myself. He looked so godlike in that black tux, it made me catch my breath. The music then started. The boys sat down on the pure white, wooden chairs that were placed on stage, and the short one, with the cute smile started.

''Oh, woah oh oh, woah oh oh woah oh oh,''

Bang Yong Guk then took over with his deep voice. I recognised it without even looking up.

 ''A girl like you is such a confusing set of questions and answers,

So I shut my mouth,

I bury love inside the farewell.

Outside the window, the forgotten rain and wind blows

In the wee hours of the night, I hear familiar songs from the radio

It’s perfect for thinking about you

There are two empty cups of coffee

In this place without you, I fight with loneliness.''

Just as the short smiling one started singing, Yongguk sat down and just looked at me.

''I walk alone on the streets

I go to the cafe I used to go a lot,

I go watch a movie.''

And then he stood up, looked me in the eyes and started another verse.

''I lock even myself in the memories, how about you?

This weather, this temperature, this passing wind, will I remember it?

A person to be forgotten like a passing by black and white film,

I still miss you as I fall asleep,

But on this a rainy night, I cannot fall asleep.''

He was looking at me intensely, as if looking at my reaction to those lyrics. My face probably just showed confusion, because he sat back down, just as the chorus started. His jaw was clenched, and his eyes serious.

''Is this sound of the rain, your voice?

Is this a sound that calls to me? Am I the only one thinking of you?

Will this rain comfort me?

Do you know how I feel? I keep thinking of you.''

I was tuned out and deep in thought for the rest of the performance, and it was only when Ria tugged at my arm, when I realised that almost everyone was gone and the show had ended.

Ria was bouncing up and down like a excited bunny. ''Lerie ohmegawdwearegoingtoseethem!'' she squealed, without taking a breath. I came back down to earth with a crash the moment she said that. My brain automatically tried to think of a way out and about a dozen excuses formed in my head before I stopped to think.

If I ran away like a coward now, I knew I would regret it forever. It wasn't a coincidence that brought me here today. It was something I hadn't believed in until this moment. Fate. I took a deep breath and nodded at Ria, who was looking at me oddly. ''Let's go.''

* * * * *

The bouncers were beefy Asian guys, who wouldn't let us go in, (even with the backstage passes) until I convinced them in Korean, that we weren't sasaeng fans. They let us through, but still throwing suspicious looks in Ria's direction. Who could blame them? She looked like a mad person, and unfortunately, she was still jumping around the place like hyperactive rabbit on heels.

When we came in five of the boys were crowded onto one sofa, almost on top of each other. Their eyes were closed. Himchan was no where to be seen however. Maybe he was the hygienic one of this bunch, and went to wash? Suddenly, the small round cheeked one jumped up and saw us. He bit his lip slightly.

''Hello,'' he said is his funny English. The rest of the members opened their eyes, and when they saw us they hurriedly got up, tripping over each other in an attempt to make themselves and their crumpled suits look presentable. Apart from Yong Guk, who seemed to be actually sleeping, or just too lazy to get up.

''No need to try so hard, '' I told them in Korean. The boys looked sheepish for a second, and then it got to them that I was talking in Korean.

''Phew, someone who speaks Korean! I was actually dreading this conversation in English,'' confessed the round faced one ''I'm Youngjae, by the way.'' I laughed. ''My name is Lerie, and this is Ria. She's the fan here, and I'm more like the translator, cause she can't speak Korean.''

''Uh here goes nothing,'' Youngjae groaned and attemptes to introduce himself to Ria, who looked delighted. Then the rest of the boys shuffled over and introduced themselves to me and her.

The tall maknae rapper was called Zelo, while the short one with the sunflower smile was Jongup. The cute vocalist with the Busan dialect was Daehyun, and Himchan came in and also introduced himself. I could already see the looks him and Ria were shooting each other.

Suddenly the boys realised that their hyung wasn't present and Youngjae volunteered to wake him up, by... jumping on him? Their hyung was prepared however. Yongguk opened his eyes a split second before Youngjae jumped and then rolled his legs off the sofa into a normal sitting position, like nothing happened. Youngjae landed on his butt, and was left looking like the idiot.

Everyone(apart from Youngjae) burst out laughing. And then Yongguk noticed me. He was quick to compose his expression in front of his dongsaengs, but I saw that startled look flit on his face. He then rubbed his eyes, in apparent exhaustion, but I saw how he looked me after. I grinned inwardly. I felt like I was seeing things too you know. 

Thank God Ria was talkative. ''Annyeong haseo,'' she chirped in her terrible Korean accent. ''I'm Ria, and this is Lerie. You must be Yongguk?'' He nodded and smiled towards me, in a slightly shy manner. I smiled back, for the sake  of keeping this atmosphere from going awkward.

At that moment, Zelo's stomach gave a huge rumble, and all the tension in the air shattered. We all burst out laughing, even Yongguk. I laughed so hard I could have sworn I started to cry. Zelo turned pink. ''Shut-down.'' he said suddenly, closing his eyes and lowering his head, robot like. 

We only calmed down after about five minutes, and half of us were hiccuping from laughing so much. ''Hyungs, I really do need to eat though,'' Zelo complained. ''Me too,'' moaned Youngjae ''I feel so hungrrryyyy...''

Himchan then turned to us. ''How about all of us go out to go eat somewhere?'' he asked, his eyes on Ria, who was blushing. ''It's just that we don't know out way around New York...''

''Yes we want Lerie noona and Ria noona to go with us,'' chimed Jongup and Youngjae, nodding their heads cutely.

I smiled, and then translated for Ria. ''So, should we go?'' She looked at me like I was mad. ''Well , OF COURSE!'' I laughed and turned to face the guys. ''Consider us your personal tour guides to New York fast food places for this evening!''
