Falling STAR

Chapter 7

Ireona! Ireona! Yeppeun YooRim!
Ireona! Ireona! Yeppeun YooRim!

I open my left eye and search for my phone to stop the alarm and got up half asleep. I yawn and do stretching before entering the comfort room.

It's been a week after Teahyung leave the house.. Hmmm!

What really happened to him?

After finishing all my routine I grab my back pack and open the door. I was startled and took a step backward, feeling my heart jump outside of my chest after seeing someone sleeping infront of my door.

And it was Taehyung.

"Taehyung-ah! ireona (wake up)" I said and poke his forehead, he open his eyes and stand up after seeing me. And I notice that his eyes are reddish.

"Ureo?? (Did you cry?)" I asked and let him enter

"Ani----!" he quickly said and rubbed his eyes

I gave him two hot packs because his shrugging out of coldness and I sat opposite to him.

"Where have you been?" I asked

"Geunyang.... (just....) "

"Taehyung-ah, you can stay here for awhile if you have no place to go. But I better go.." I said and stand up grabbing my bag

"Eodi? (where?)" he asked

"Hmmmmm... work?" I said and slightly chuckled

"Can I go with you?" he asked and stand up

I nodded

While walking, awkwardness filled us both and only hear the stomped of our feet. I feel the breeze that touches my skin and hears the birds singing everywhere. We arrive at the restaurant and I enter the restaurant and he just followed. Aki runs to me and dragged me in the kitchen.

"Yah! nugunde? (who's that?)" She raised her eyebrows and folded her arms, waiting for my response.

"Huh? Ah-------- Taehyung'e? chingu're (my friend)" I said and took a step to go outside but she grab my wrist and pulled me back

"Chingu? oh------ namja chingu? (friend or boyfriend?)" she said mischievously and tickles me

"Anigeudeon! jinjja chingu'e (noway! he's just my friend)" I said and give her a smacked on head, leaving her.

I went outside and look for Taehyung, I slightly chuckled after seeing all the customers are staring to him. I wave at him and give him a sign to follow me to the kitchen.

"Yeoreobun! (everyone!)" I shouted politely to catch everyone's attention and they gathered at the center.

"Namja chingu?" one of my hyung whispered to me and I gave him an elbow strike for him to shut up "Ani! (no!)" and rolled my eyes

I clear my throat and take a deep breath. I look at Aki's mom and gave her a smile and she slightly chuckled.
I think she understands what I'm thinking.

"Igeo-- Taehyung'e, ne chingu" I said and pointed my fingers to him

"Ah! ne annyeonghaseyo Kim Taehyung'imnida, bangaseumnida! (Hello I'm Kim Taehyung, It's nice meeting you)" He said and take a bow

Aki reached out her hand for a hand shake and Taehyung took it.

"Taehyung? Nan keopta Aki'imnida (The cute one, I'm Aki)" she said and flip her hair. And my eyes are meeting at the center, looking at her irritatedly. Tsk! But she gave me wacky face.

"Taehyung! igeo Aki's mom, Aki, sous chief hyung Baron'e, Yejin'e, Mimi'e, Hanna'e, hyung Jejeon'e and me!" I introduce them all to Taehyung and he took a bow

"Can I work here?" my eyes got widen after hearing what he said

"jinjja?" I whispered to him and he nodded

"Am-------" Aki cut her mom from speaking and agreed to what's Taehyung said "Yes! you can work here, yes!" and smile with sparkling eyes

"So.... Taehyung'sshi you start you work now" Aunt said

Waaaaaah!? jinjja? One of the famous Kpop idol became a worker of a small chicken restaurant?

Yah! I know he can do it, His a fast leaner after all, I know he can cope up with us in just a couple of minute. I gave him the apron and the tray and pointed the tables that are not clean. But Aki interrupt me from giving him a instructions.

"Taehyung'ah!"

"Just call me Tae-Tae" he said, I felt uneasy after hearing those words and weep the sweat that are forming in my forehead

"You know what! Your aura is very suitable for being a Kpop idol!" she said and give a two thumbs up

"jinjja? You remember me?" he asked

"huh? remember what?"

"I'm one of the member of BTS boy group, Kim Taehyung!" he said

Aki bursted into laughter and cover her mouth to stop her laugh but she just continue laughing

"Hahaha mwo? you? Haha Your a joker, aren't you? BT-S haha has only 6 members, so-- how can you?" she said laughingly

"Ppeongeyo! (just joking)" he said and laugh awkwardly, "I thought someone can really recognize me, who I really was" he said sadly and turn his back to Aki

"Oh? Tae-tae------" I shushed Aki and gave her a frown look

"mwo?"

"your noisy!" I said and leave her

If only you knew that he is your bias among the group you won't laugh that hard Aki! You wont! If only you knew......

Cleaning the table opposite to him, sees all his actions and movements. I felt really sad towards him, I looked at his face and he looks so down and I feel the loneliness in that fake smile he wears.

I called out his name and he look at me, I gave him a smile and a 'Aja pose'.  "Himnae Alien-ah! (fighting!)" I whispered.

Did they really forget about him?
