I have been a really popular idol in my country for years now. I got so many lovable fans and luxurious life that everyone dreams to have. I'm talented and gifted with beauty that will swoon non-fans over causing for them to like me and start listening to my music.
It was all fun. Until I started to get tired in that kind of life because I kept doing the same thing everyday.
Waking up, fixing myself for rehearsals and then performance at night. Sometimes I wake up early for pre-recording, photoshoots and such. Meeting my fans while I'm up on stage is the best feeling ever, but I don't know why I suddenly felt tired of everything about this.
Good thing the management agreed and gave me a year and half month of rest. They released a statement regarding the matter and as expected, the fans' reactions are divided. Some are wishing me for good luck and some doesn't want me to go on with this.
I decided to temporarily leave my country to rest somewhere in Korea. It was suggested by a good friend who lives there, Kim Jongin.
And instead of staying in Seoul, I chose to stay in a province. In Gyeonggi-do. Being an idol made me stay in the city and travel from one city to another every time. I didn't get to visit beautiful places such as provinces. It is the place I needed the most. It's peaceful and there are trees around which is very relaxing to the eyes. I bet there are a lot of people who doesn't know me there. A perfect escape to the celebrity life.
Hours after my flight, I was greeted by Jongin. Good thing he immediately recognized me despite my face heavily disguised so fans won't see me. He took my luggages and guided me all the way to his car.
"How are you, Nini? It's been a long time." I asked as soon as he took the driver's seat.
"I'm fine. How about you? I could see your backstage photos and you look tired."
"I wasn't fine. But now I am because of this year and a half of rest."
Jongin and I conversed all throughout the ride, catching up with those times we're apart. I really missed my bestfriend.
Few hours of driving, we came to our destination. Gyeonggi-do. I let my eyes roam around the place, trees are everywhere, a relaxing sight I've been dying to see! I sighed as I sank back to my seat and Jongin giggled before I felt the car stopped.
"We're here, love."
I stared at the 2-storey house right in front of my eyes. I was so amazed that I failed to notice Jongin going out of the car to open the door for me.
"Wait, before you enter. I have to make sure the house is perfect."
I chortled. "You don't have to do that, Nini."
"No! I want everything to be perfect for my most favorite girl in the world." he turns his back but he remembers something. "Of course my most favorite is my mom, and you're just my second favorite."
This baby bear. I laughed at him a bit before beckoning for him to go inside the house. "Just go."
"I'll be right back, love!" then he went inside.
I decided to check my things inside the compartment. I rounded the car slowly, taking in the sight of the house where I'm going to have my stay.
"Ooh, you must be the new girl Jongkai's family is talking about."
I gasped when I heard a voice from behind. Spinning around, I immediately saw a guy leaning his back against the car. He has long hair with red highlights, making him look like a bad boy. Judging from his words, he didn't know who I am. When Jongin said I'm taking a rest somewhere I won't feel that I am a celebrity, he mean it. He's the best.
