Finding the Right Words

*Chapter 104- Trying to Save Your Life

*Em's POV*

For the first time since Rstory had arrived in Korea, people weren't really even paying attention to Em. No, not at all. It was the perfect day to go to the beach. It was warm, and Em was being left alone.

The other girls had gone to get some sunscreen from the store, and she'd been left to guard their stuff because she was smart enough not to change yet.

She leaned back on her towel, enjoying the sunshine on Jeju island. It was a much-needed vacation. Ever since Rstory had gained popularity, she hadn't had any moments like this, between college and touring.

A small group of girls was sitting a few meters away from her, chittering amongst themselves. Em didn't try to overhear. It just kind of happened.

"This is the third time. I can't stand it!" one of cried, sobbing wildly.

"It's okay..." one of the others consoled, "he'll notice you someday..."

"No!" the first one shouted, "I won't do it anymore! If I can't have him, no one will!"

"What are you planning to do?!" the second one asked.

"You have your dad's motorboat, right? We can use it. When he's out in the water."

It should probably be explained why no one was paying attention to Em. Basically, there was an idol swimming show being filmed on the beach that day. And why pay attention to a girl from Rstory when you can watch a shirtless SHINee member? Not that Em was really interested in that. SHINee was for Ali and Eliz. If it was a member of B.A.P it would be a different story.

But she couldn't help but listen to the conversation. What were they planning to do to Minho?!

"He'd never forget us! We could be together in heaven!"

Oh dear God. Sasaeng fans.

"Come on, let's go. Minho will be ours!"

Yup. Definitely sasaeng fans. They all got up excitedly, disappearing down the beach.

Em thought about what she had just overheard. She liked SHINee, but didn't have any real personal affection towards them. Besides, the girls probably wouldn't actually hit Minho with their motorboat. they'd probably chicken out. 

But what if they didn't? What if something actually happened to him? What if Eliz found out that she had known about it, and hadn't done anything? She would be so mad...

But what about their stuff? She was there to watch it. She couldn't just leave it...

Okay, she could. She had to. She had to go save Minho. Even if he was just a fake, and the real one lived in Mel's pond. She had to save him, for Eliz's sake. 

*Minho's POV*

Minho laughed at the MC, splashing water at one of his co-stars. It was a good day to film. He swam circles around the girl, quite enjoying getting attention from the cameraman.

"MINHO-SHIIIIIIIIII!!!!!"

He looked at the beach, startled by the incredibly loud scream. He wasn't exactly right next to the beach.

Probably just another fan. Focus on filming. He shook his head, forcing himself to ignore it, even as the girl screamed for him again.

"Minho, you're in danger!" she yelled. He couldn't help but look at her. From this distance, it was hard to tell, but he was pretty sure she was a foreigner, even though she'd yelled in Korean.
