The Roller Coaster That Is Life

Chapter 14: Seemingly Familiar

Siwon's POV

Siwon was staying fairly busy with his work. It seemed like every day was packed to the max. If he wasn't at a photo shoot or product launch, then he was on set filming a drama or movie. It was exhausting. Today was no different, he was on his way to a photo shoot. The plus about this photo shoot,. . . . . .he was going to see Nita. He had done a double take when he heard she was the model for this photo shoot. He was excited and nervous at the same time. It had been a while since he had spoken to her. He wasn't even sure if she had forgiven him or not.
Siwon was running late and had called to let them know. His movie filming took longer than he had anticipated. He was now making his way into the studio. He wasn't the only one just arriving, looking around he saw Kai. He smiled at Kai.
"Hyung, you're working here today too," he excited asked. Siwon expected as much, this wasn't the first time, he came across one of the EXO members during a job.
"Neh, I'm working here too," Siwon answered.
"Hyung, you know this new model," Kai asked, not shying away from an older sunbae.
"Hmm, I do," He answered, deliberately not giving any details. Siwon wasn't sure what kind of reaction Kai would have if Siwon told him any details. Another motive was he wanted to see Kai's reaction to her with his influence.
"Is she good," Kai stuttered, Siwon looked at him, "I mean, does she do good work," he finished quickly scracthing the back of his head.
"I've heard she does good work. They said she finished her shoot with Big Bang fairly quickly without any problems," Siwon stated matter-of-factly.
Making their entrance into the studio, they were greeted by a set of flashes being reflected off of the flash fixtures.
Siwon breath was taken away at the site before him.
Nita was in front of a white backdrop, wearing a gorgeous chemise with a knee length cover up. The chemise hugged her in all the right spots. The fabric flowed over her like water, accentuating her curves. The chemise ended at mid-thigh giving him a glorious view of her finely toned long legs. She wasn't artificially tanned, her skin tone a light brown. Being of a different nationally had its benefits. She was wearing cute little bunny slippers, they only looked cuter as she pranced around in front of the camera. Siwon risked a glance around the room. He noticed that most of the staff was male in the studio. It made sense why that was the case. Female staff sometimes would get distracted when working with male idols. With the photo shoot being mostly underwear, it would be a nightmare to have female staff in the studio.
As he looked around the room, he noticed some not so decent gazes being sent her way. Siwon watched Nita, she didn't seem to notice the looks coming her way. It bothered Siwon now and he realized the down side to a mostly male staff. It made him nervous, what if one of the staff was inappropriate with her.
"Siwon Hyung, you okay," Kai asked, tapping Siwon on the shoulder.
"Huh," Siwon was pulled from his train of thought.
"You're clenching your fist like you're about to hurt someone," Kai said looking worried.
"Who's the cutie," came a voice from behind him. Siwon turned around to find Taecyeon striding his way in. Taecyeon nodded towards Nita, "she's cute, who is she," he asked again.
"She's new," Kai said. Now all three of them were watching her, she had changed into another chemise this one had a one big black and white panda on the back of the cover up. The second one fitted her like a glove as well.
"How is everyone today," said another approaching voice, the designer making his way toward the group of four now.
Guk Bang had just arrived as Taecyeon was asking his questions.
"Doing good," Kai answered, bowing to Designer-nim.
"Well, thank you," Siwon answered giving the man a hug. This wasn't Siwon's first time working with the man.
"I'm well," Guk Bang said, nodding his head.
The only one who hadn't said anything was Taecyeon, he was still watching Nita. The look on his face rubbed Siwon the wrong way. Which made him a bit of a hypocrite, because he must have had the same look on his face when he'd first seen her.
"He seems taken with her," Designer-nim said smiling.
"He's not the only," Kai said looking at Nita too.
"I'm not surprised, she has a way of attracting attention," the Designer-nim said glancing at Nita, "She brings my clothes to life, better than anyone I've worked with so far," he sounded wistful.
"What's with the music," Guk Bang asked.
"I think she was feeling nervous, so she asked if she could play music during her shots. No one saw the harm in that," Designer-nim answered.
Guk Bang was smiling, probably because 'Unbreakable' was playing now, and she was being cute while acting silly. Siwon smiled. Siwon knew she was a fan of B.A.P, she was also a fan of EXO, Super Junior, and 2PM. He couldn't wait to see her reaction when she saw them all.
"You guys should get changed, we're almost done with her sets and she doesn't take long to change from one thing to another," Designer-nim said. At hearing that, the others made their way to the changing room. Siwon decided he was going to stay a bit, he could be quick about changing later.
He excused himself with Designer-nim and made his way towards Nita.
"It's almost two o'clock, you silly girl," Siwon heard the photographer talking to Nita. She began looking around the studio for a clock. Siwon decided to make it easier for her and placed his phone directly in front of her face. The screen was lit so she could see the time. How long had she been here, he wondered, she didn't even keep track of time. She looked up at him, he couldn't help giving her another once over. The chemise was teasing him, he was tempted to kiss her and have his way with her.
"Well, it's good to see you, Siwon. How's the weather in the studio, today," she said, bring him back to earth and away from the dangerous territory he was heading towards. He looked at her, she looked hesitant. He was just going to turn around and go, but her words stopped him.
"We need to talk, did you want to come to the house for dinner. The guys won't be a bother, they all have jobs today that will keep them pretty busy," she said. He was surprised, the last thing he had expected was a dinner invitation. He wasn't going to turn her down.
"What are you making," he asked, clearly wanting to know what she was making. She was good at cooking, he'd missed her cooking.
"Are we invited to this dinner, or is it a date for two," Taecyeon asked walking up to them, the others following close behind. Siwon risked a glance at Nita. . . . . . . .she was turning red. She didn't have that kind of reaction to SuJu! What was so different about Taecyeon and the others?
"Is she okay," Kai asked looking Nita up and down she was turning a darker shade of red now.
Siwon figured he'd better answer the question, "She's fine, she's probably a fan," he said smirking, knowing that she was, was a plus point. He enjoyed watching her reaction.
"She's Nita, right," Guk Bang asked. Siwon was surprised, he didn't think anyone knew Nita other than the few people that she always stayed around.
"You know her," he asked, eyeing Guk Bang, not sure how he felt about that.
"Neh, my manager told me she was a new model," Guk Bang replied.
"Hi, I'm Taecyeon," Taecyeon said, introducing himself to Nita. Siwon wanted to laugh, he looked at Nita again, she was turning a darker shade of red, than she already was, if that was possible. Immediately her hands covered her face, like a child hiding from someone they had a crush on. She started backing away step by step, almost as if someone would jump her if she made any sudden movement.
"I'm sorry, but could you guys excuse me. I have to go get changed," came her muffled voice and she quickly disappeared to her dressing room.
Siwon watched her run away and started laughing.
The others were looking at him now with a questioning look.
"There's no probably about it. . . . . . Hahahahahaha. . . . . .she really is a fan. . . . . . Hahahahahaha. . . . ." he couldn't stop his laughing, she had look totally adorable, turning all red in the face and looked all embarrassed.
"So you do know her," Kai looked at Siwon suspiciously. Siwon just turned around still laughing and walked to the changing room to get dressed.
SEVERAL HOURS LATER
The shoot had gone without a hitch. Nita was a complete professional, even though there were times when she couldn't control the red that kept creeping into her face. The rest of the guys were enjoying the fact that they could so easily fluster her.
The highlight of the photo shoot was the end. The ending concept for the shoot was 'colorful', and the ending shots were to be of them having a paint fight. The guys had made a plan, all of them were going to gang up on Nita. Siwon had been part of the plan. He should've known better, especially after the Running Man incident. She had kicked their ass! But by the end of the shoot, they were drenched in paint, where she just had paint smears on her.
Now they were all lounging in the dressing room she was been using. Nita was getting cleaned up while they waited in the room. Siwon had noticed some of the male staff members staring at her and then looking at other members, something hadn't felt right about that. So he made an excuse asking the others if they wanted to chill with him and Nita. It had worked. One of the male staff had come in once and since then he hadn't seen anyone.
"Man, Nita was good at dodging our buckets and brushes," Kai said leaning back in his seat.
"No joke, you'd think she was trained in special forces," Guk Bang said surprise clearly written on his face.
"I have to admit, she jumps around like a grasshopper. She'd give Mark and Jackson a run for their money," Taecyeon said running his hand through his wet hair, "I'm going to have to tell them about her," he finished.
"I wonder if she's a fan of theirs' too," Kai wondered out loud.
"She is," Siwon answered, remembering how she had acted while watching one of the GOT7 practice videos.
They were all looking at him again. Nita choose that moment to walk out with wet hair, sporting a plain t-shirt and sweats. She looked comfortable. She dropped on to the ottoman like a sack of rice, groaning she asked, " How do you guys manage this."
Siwon was smiling like an idiot and he knew it. This was his first job with her and he was hoping it wouldn't be his last. He liked working with her. He had loved being able to see her whenever he got back from work. She had become a part of his family. During the time, they hadn't spoken to each other, he had visited his parents back home. His mother had seen in his face, he was upset about something. His father had noticed it too. After about two days, he had told his mother everything that had happened with Nita. His mother had told him just one thing, "If she's forgiven you, then she'll let you know." Siwon was deeply hoping for that to happen, he knew what he had done was wrong, and the selfish part of him really wanted her to forgive him.
"It was fun," he answered back, looking at her intently. Trying to see if he could see her forgiveness in her eyes. He quickly looked at the others, not wanted to make things awkward.
"It was, I never thought I'd be in the same room as some of my favorite idols. I'm still getting used to it," she said, smiling at him, she leaned back into her chair, folding her legs under her, and closing her eyes. She looked gorgeous just lying there. He wasn't the only one noticing either. Both Guk Bang and Taecyeon were watching her too.
Kai was watching Siwon with a critical eye, "How do you know each other," he asked. Siwon knew that question was burning a hole in Kai's pocket since the beginning of the shoot.
Siwon looked at Nita's relaxed form on the ottoman and asked, "You want to tell him, or you want me too." He knew she didn't like thinking about how they had met. What was embarrassing for her, was memorable for him. He had never been greeted by a purse before. Now every time he thought about the memory, he smiled.
"She beat me with her purse," he blatantly stated, knowing well, she was going to react.
And on que, "Now, wait a minute! The least you could do was tell them what happened before that," she said with a raised voice. She looked tired but there was a hint of energy in her now.
"Why would you beat him with your purse," Guk Bang asked, he was smirking, which hopefully meant he had connected the dots.
"I didn't know that it was him, I thought he was a thief. In my defense, there were a whole bunch of woman running after him. For all I knew he could have been a pervert," she said defensively.
Siwon couldn't help it. He started laughing with the others. She was just too cute.
"You're the one from his Running Man episode!!" Kai asked in between laughs.
"OMO, that was you!!" Taecyeon was coughing while laughing.
Guk Bang just spent his time laughing and pointing, which only made Siwon laugh more.
"Aish, chincha, anyone with common sense would have done the same thing I did," Nita continued defensively. It didn't help much, because it only brought out more laughter from the others.
After a couple of minutes, the laughing was quieting down. Siwon noticed Taecyeon staring at Nita. Nita noticed it too. Siwon was about to say something, when Nita spoke up, "What's the matter, do I have something on my face," she asked, touch her face here and there.
"No, it's not that," he answered, looking nervous. Why was he nervous all of the sudden? He had been just fine minutes ago.
"You're from the states, right," Taecyeon asked her, Siwon could see excitement in Taecyeon's eyes. What was going on?
"Yes," she worriedly answered. Siwon wasn't sure where this was going. Did he know her from somewhere?
"You dance, right," he asked.
"Yes," she answered questioningly. Taecyeon's eyes were like the fourth of July, he quickly pulled out his phone and started vigorously tapping the screen.
"That's you in this video, right," he asked shoving his phone in her face. Nita took the phone from him and began watching the video, her smile started out small but quickly got bigger, now she was smiling from ear to ear.
"You've seen this video," she wistfully said, she was looking at the phone as if her life was on it. Siwon was curious about what she was watching, he leaned in to look. She was watching a fan video of 2pm's A.D.T.O.Y. The video had all girls in this version.
"What's so special about the video," Kai asked curiously. Siwon was wondering the same thing, there were so many fan videos out there, what was so special about this one.
"You're Nita, from The Fan Girls, the group of girls who create their version of their favorite group's MVs," Taecyeon stated excitedly, "I'm right, aren't I," he asked, fidgeting around in his chair.
Nita just sat there staring at the phone. Siwon knew he'd heard the name of the group somewhere, but couldn't remember where. He looked at the others, both Kai and Guk Bang had a surprised expression on their faces. Siwon was still trying to connect the dots.
"Jamkkan, you're talking about the same fan group that did the 'Overdose' fan MV," Kai asked Taecyeon, looking Nita with shocked eyes.
"I knew she seemed familiar, the same girls did a fan MV of 'One Shot' too," Guk Bang added.
Still feeling lost, Siwon asked, "Nita, what's going on?"
Siwon was still waiting for Nita to answer him, when Kai spoke up, "Hyung, you do know they've done a Super Junior MV too, right," he asked.
Then he remembered. The guys had been extremely excited when the video had come out. Many SuJu fans had instantly become Fan Girls' fans as well. The tread of comments were never ending. In the end, most of the members had joined The Fan Girls' online fan club. Siwon was a member too, how could he not remember that.
He looked at her and asked, "No Other." He could still remember his reaction to the video. It was done professionally, he couldn't tell at first that it was a fan video. He had realized it was a fan video, when six girls came up on screen acting cute and adorable. He had definitely made Nita is bae. He even told the guys she was his favorite and he rarely stated what or who he liked to others.
Nita nodded her head. Siwon was still a bit shocked. He had met one of his favorite people and hadn't even realized it.
"You plan on saying something," Guk Bang smiled at Nita, "I'm sure you'll be more surprised when I say, that I'm a member of your fan club online," he finished. Siwon was going to mention it, but the chance had been taken away from him.
"Da du," Taecyeon said.
"Make me number three," Kai added.
Nita was still shocked, "What can I say to that, . . . . .wait, what?!?!?" She yelled, "Did you just say 'fan club,'" she asked.
"Neh, there's one for each member and then one for the whole group, see, look," Taecyeon handed his phone to Nita again. Siwon was sure Nita's eyes were about to pop out of their sockets with the way she was staring at the screen. Her eyes seemed to get wider as she scrolled down on the screen. As she scrolled down, her face transformed from utterly shocked to beautifully smiling.
"What's with the smile," asked Guk Bang, smiling too.
"I feel appreciated," she answered back, her smile getting wider. Siwon felt pride for her, he was proud of her. He was sure she'd think no one but fans saw those videos. But the truth was, she had fans of her own, not just normal people but people in the entertainment world too. She just hadn't figured out, how noticed she is.
"When we started talking about doing one fan MV, we honestly didn't think that anyone outside of the fandoms would see the video. Getting to the point of making the first video, took a lot of hard work for us. Finding out the idols we adore, have seen the fan MVs, feels good," she looked at each person sitting around her. He had been right, assuming that no one other than other fans saw those videos is what she thought. Siwon shook his head, how could she think that her work wouldn't get noticed.
***GRRRRRRRRRRR***
All eyes went to her stomach.
***GRRRRRRRRRRRR***
***GRRRRRRRRRRRR***
***GRRRRRRRRRRRR***
***GRRRRRRRRRRRR***
Now she was eyeing the others. Siwon realized that he was seriously very hungry. He looked at Nita, she was grabbing her things.
"Kaja, we're all hungry, and I already have something cooking in my Crockpot," she announced proudly. His stomach rumbled again, he wasn't going to argue. His dinners mainly consisted of food at restaurants. He wasn't about to give up a home cooked meal.
"Bo? Kaja, you guys are hungry, right," she asked, when she noticed the others weren't grabbing their things.
"You sure what you made will be enough for all of us," Kai hesitantly asked, "we don't want to intrude," he finished sounding even more nervous than before, but like the others there was still a glimmer of hope on his face. Working in the entertainment business didn't leave much time for a home cooked meal. Siwon was sure the other's wanted to come, but didn't want to be rude if they finished all her food.
She looked as if she was going to say something, but Siwon intruded, "When she cooks, she cooks enough to feed an army. I've known her long enough to know that. When she asks, she's made sure to cover all her bases," Siwon finished, smiling back at Nita, who nodded her approval of the statement.
"Well then, I'm not going to say no to that," Taecyeon quickly began to grab his things. Watching Taecyeon, the other two immediately followed.
Turning around walking towards the door, Siwon was curious as to what she had made, "What did you make," he asked her.
"Salsa Verde Chicken Tacos, something different," she answered back. Siwon liked Mexican food, he hadn't had it in a while. He smiled, he hoped the others liked the sound of it as much as he did.
