Stars

My mum is sooooooo embarrassing! Yesterday when she got out of the car she kept asking who VIXX was. I kept saying they were a band who I happened to know well. She kept eyeing them. I bet she only asked them in to dinner to get to know them, and to see if they were creeps or not. She is so embarrassing. She kept insisting on having dinner with them. I kept telling her they were busy idols and didn’t have time for dinner with common people. In the end I hand to push her into the house to get her to be quiet. But the whole night she would ramble on about the boys. “Why are you hanging around with a group of boys? How long have you known them for? Where do they live? What school do they go to? How many siblings do they have?” I swear my mum can be so annoying at times.

Now I am in an English class staring out the window. It looks like it’s going to rain; I should’ve brought an umbrella. Then I realized that my thoughts have turned to VIXX. What would’ve happened if they stayed for dinner? Would my mum approve of them and let me see them everyday? Even if she did let, they’re way too busy to hang out with an original person like me. I sigh. “Did you have something to say?” asks my English teacher; Mr. Ryan. “What? Um, no, sir.” I hear Julie, Sally and Tanya giggle. “Melinda, you have disrupted my train of thought, can you please tell me what I just said?” Crap, I should’ve been listening. I see a smirk creep on my teacher’s face. I glance at Julie’s notebook-she’s a sucker for note taking and always has everything written down- and clear my throat. “You were talking about how the characters of our novel are in some sort of a forbidden love because of social class.” The English teacher rolled his eyes and continued with the lesson, and I continued looking out the window. Thinking about VIXX.

I yawned, “The day is finally OVER!” “I know right? The day went by so slowly.” Said Tanya. An arm slung around my neck, “Let’s go out tonight!” said Sally. I pushed her off in a joking manner, “I told you guys that I can’t go out on the weekdays, only the weekends.” Sally pouted and I laughed. In the distance I heard someone call, “OMG IT’S REALLY HIM!” “I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!” KYAAAAA!” Curious, the four of us ran towards the screams and shouts. I froze in my steps. There he was, Han Sanghyuk, in his school uniform, at my school. All the girls from my school were surrounding him, screaming and shouting. Trying to touch him. Sally squealed and ran straight through the crowd, pushing them aside to get to the idol. Once she got to the idol she screamed, “HYUK!!!!” and she jumped on him. Julie and Tanya had joined Sally as well, shoving their way through the maniac girls. “Hey! I know you!” said Hyuk to Sally, I could imagine her eyes sparkling right now. “You’re Melinda’s friend! Could you help me find Melinda?” now I can see her face drop and tears swell in her eyes. Should I walk away? I should walk away. Come on legs, move! Just as I was about to walk away, my friends, Hyuk and all the girls in our school came running towards me. “Hello Melinda!” said Hyuk with a smile on his face. Reluctant, I am forced to acknowledge him, “Hello Sanghyuk hyun. What are you doing here?” “I came to pick you up!” he said, his smile widening. “After what happened yesterday, it’s really dangerous that you go home alone. SO I AM HERE TO ESCORT YOU!” he said happily. I smiled nervously. Oh man, all these people will be following us. My insides feel depressed. “Do you have all your things?” he asked. I nodded. “Where is your sister….Carla?” “Cindy.” I say, “She goes home with her group of friends.” I say with a sigh. Hyuk clasped his hands together, “OK then!” suddenly he grabbed my hand and ran through the crowd, dragging me along. “HE’S GOING!” “WHY IS HE TAKING HER?” “ARE THEY A THING?” “HURRY AND CATCH HIM!” “ I NEED TO TAKE PICTURES!!” “KYAAAAA!” “HURRY! QUICK!” I heard people shout from behind. What is he doing?

We eventually lose the crows of schoolgirls. Hyuk laughs, “I’m glad that’s over. Now we can talk in private.” My stomach tightened at the word ‘private’, he wanted to be alone with me. I feel my face getting hot. As we walk side by side, I take the chance to admire the idol up close. He looks so different today…Without gel in his purple hair, without make up on his porcelain skin, and in school uniform; he looks like such a kid. I chuckle. “Is something funny?” he asked. “I’m just thinking about how different you look today.” I said. He shoved his hands in his school pants pockets. “Do I look different?” “Yeah, you remind me of an average teenager.” I casually loop my arm around his while his hand is in his pocket, hoping that he doesn’t move away. He doesn’t, he just smiles at me. Oh my goodness! I can’t believe I am linking arms with the guy of my dreams!! I swallowed, preventing myself from squealing with joy. We walk in silence for a while, until I notice something. “Sanghyuk hyung,” I said, he looks at me in response. “Where are we going?” We came to a halt. “I thought you were leading…” he said slowly. “What? I thought you were.” I said, shocked. “So are we lost?” he asked. I shrug my shoulders, “I don’t really know if we are.” He sighed, “Let’s just keep walking until we see a familiar place.”

I always imagined that I would do something like this. Walking home with my idol boyfriend. Not that Hyuk is my boyfriend. But I want him to be. I take in the scent of his perfume. It smells so nice and manly. I then grow conscious about my own smell. I didn’t put any perfume or deodorant on today. Dammit! Do I smell bad? Oh goodness, what if he really wants to get away from me? What if…? Oh god, maybe I’m over thinking everything. I sigh in relief and told his arm tighter, it feels so good to be alone with him. He notices, “Is something the matter?” he asked. I dodge the question and change the topic. “So, how did you know I go to this school?” I asked. Looking back on the pavement before us he answers, “I recognize your school uniform, a lot of girls who go there chase me sometimes.” He laughed awkwardly. “Ah! I know this place! This is the way to Jeesun noona’s house! I usually walk to Jeesun noona’s house after school because the VIXX bus will be waiting there. So it doesn’t attract unwanted attention at schools. We walk past the grocery store I shopped from last time. Good times. I didn’t realize it before, but on the side of the store is an alleyway. Parked in the alleyway is a black van. As the two of us walk past, I hear a commotion from inside the van. The back doors burst open and two men dressed in all black spring out. We gasp and release our hold. “One each I say.” Snickered one of the men. The other man laughed like a hyena and lunged at me. I jumped at Hyuk and pushed him, “RUN!” I shout. There’s no point in calling for help at this time, all the parents will be picking up their children from school. Hyuk runs to the grocery store doors, but they don’t slide open. “What the…?” I hear him say, “Back in five minutes?” I dodge the man’s punches and kicks. Twisting and turning my body, I don’t have a chance to see how Hyuk is doing. I peel off my backpack and swing it at the man’s face. “UGH!” the groans and he falls backwards. Without looking back, I run towards Hyuk and the other man. Hyuk is doing better at dodging than I did. Hyuk throws a punch and hits the guy square in the nose. I come from behind and swing my backpack at him, he falls to the ground. Hyuk and I breathe heavily. “You’re pretty good at dodging.” I manage to say. “Taekwoon hyung taught me a bit of tai kwon do.” He smiled. But that smile soon faded, and without warning I was grabbed from behind. “Make another move and I’ll slit her throat.” Snickered the man I fought. I should’ve hit him harder. I feel a cold and icy blade press against the skin of my neck and my eyes widen. “Sanghyuk.” I breathe.
