"Hey, you? What do you want? Let's act like a man. Let's fight like a man." said Dae Ju to his one friend.
"Why? Is this your mission?" said Min Jae.
"Nope," said Dae Ju strictly.
"Then let me play games," said Min Jae, ignoring him and concentrating on his phone again.
"E-he! Come on! Just tell me that you are afraid of me." said Dae Ju and laughed.
"Hyung! Don't irritate me, I know it's your mission. Go ahead." said Min Jae.
"You failed." said one guy and put the camera in front of his face.
"I failed! No! How could it be!" surprised Dae Ju and shouted.
"If you fail to do your mission, you will be punished," said Nam Gil and laughed. "I know. Don't remind me. Hmph!" said Dae Ju and made a cute face.
"How cute you are!" said Min Jae and smiled.
"Hey! Don't say anything. I failed because of you," said Dae Ju and smacked Min Jae on the back of his head.
"Ouch! Why are you hitting me suddenly? You could not do your mission, it's your fault, not mine!" said Min Jae.
"Okay, okay. Just play," said Dae Ju and hit him once again. This time he hit him more strongly.
"Ouch, Hyung(Big brother)!" shouted Min Jae. Dae Ju laughed and left from there. Min Jae concentrates on his phone again and begins to play games. He was walking to another room. In the middle, he saw Cha Woon. He was looking for someone.
"Are you searching for someone?" asked Dae Ju.
"Have you seen Tae Ri?"
"No, why?" asked Dae Ju.
"Just because. Oh! Look at this, isn't it very cute?" asked Cha Woon.
"Yes," said Dae Ju.
"Look what it's doing! Isn't it very cute?" said Cha Woon. He got a mission to listen to "very cute" from three members of his group. So he was trying to get so cute from Dae Ju but he did not tell him. So, he felt hopeless and went to another room. There were cameras everywhere. After finishing shooting, Dae Ju came outside to get some fresh air. He felt amazing. Because today his mixtape was released and as a lot of fans were waiting for this, it got so many loves in one day. It's not the first time when he got so much love, but he feels so happy that they have so many fans, so much love.
"Hyung, what are you doing here alone?" asked Tae Ri.
"Oh! You are here?" noticing Tae Ri Dae Ju asked.
"Yes, come with me." saying this Tae Ri holds his hand and pulls Dae Ju with him. "Hey! Where are you taking me?" asked Dae Ju surprisingly.
"Mr. Director is looking for you," said Tae Ri and walked continuously holding his hand. He was walking so fast that Dae Ju had to run and he could not control himself.
"Okay, okay, I am coming but walk slowly," said Dae Ju but he didn't stop walking fast.
"Why is he searching for me? Our shoot ended, didn't we?" asked Dae Ju with curiosity.
"You failed to do your mission, right?" said Tae Ri without any expression.
"Ah! I got it. Now, it's time for our penalty!" said Dae Ju, remembering this and also feeling afraid. Because sometimes the director gives a strong penalty and they have to do it. But now, he is not in the mood for getting punished.
"Could you tell him that I am not here, please?" requested Dae Ju like a baby. Tae Ri looked at him and smiled but he didn't answer anything and kept walking.
"Oh! Mr. Dae Ju! Come here. We all are waiting for you." said the Director and received him from Tae Ri.
"Am I alone who failed to do the mission? And what is the punishment?" asked Dae Ju, being afraid. But he smiled to control his emotions.
"Today we have a light punishment because it's already 10 pm and we all have to go home. You have to buy drinks for all the staff with your own money. "Ah! that's it? I could do it easily." said Dae Ju with confidence.
"Yeah, but you have to come back within half an hour or else we will think harder," said the director.
"Okay," said Dae Ju with a manly voice.
"I am with you," said Tae Ri smilingly.
"Oh! then I am not alone?" said Dae Ju laughingly.
"Yes, I have to buy snacks and you have to buy drinks. Let's go," said Tae Ri.
"But if I go with him, he will take at least one hour to choose snacks. Ah! How could you do that!" said Dae Ju with a funny face. Everyone laughed when they saw that face.
"Hyung! Let's hold hands." saying this Tae Ri holds his hand again.
"We will not take over half an hour and we will help each other till the end," said Tae Ri and looked at him. Dae Ju also looked at Tae Ri's face. He didn't notice that Tae Ri wiped his makeup already but he was looking gorgeous and also cute. He couldn't help but say okay to make him happy. Then both of them go outside to buy things.
"Others can go home now, right?" said Dae Ju to Tae Ri with a serious expression.
"Yes, why?" asked Tae Ri. Both of them were walking together on the main street. There was no one without them on the street. The cameraman was not with them. So Dae Ju felt relaxed and walked continuously holding Tae Ri's hand. "Hyung! Do you have any problem?" asked Tae Ri.
"No, I was just worried about my concert tomorrow," said Dae Ju. They entered a super shop and looked for their items.
"You don't need to be worried. You are always doing nice. Your voice is great, you are the world's handsome man. You have so many fans. I am sure you will have many many fans in your next solo concert." said Tae Ri and looked at him. "What is this? It seems like you are my older and I am your younger. Why are you acting so serious today? I like you when you behave like a child." saying this he started acting weirdly.
"Hyung! Do it with me! Hyung! Look at this! Hyung! Hyung! Hyung!" said Dae Ju laughingly and acting weirdly like Tae Ri. "Hyung!" Tae Ri filled his cheek with air. He was looking like a baby. Dae Ju saw him and started laughing loudly.
"Hyung, I will come tomorrow to your concert to cheer you on. Okay?" said Tae Ri smilingly.
"Promise?" saying this Dae Ju put his corner finger in front of him.
"Pinky promise." Tae Ri holds Dae Ju's finger with his corner finger.
"I am done shopping. Did you decide which one you will buy?" asked Dae Ju. "Not yet," said Tae Ri worriedly.
"What? We have fifteen minutes left and you haven't decided yet?" shouted Dae Ju.
"Hyung! You should not shout at me. You should help me." said Tae Ri with a sweet angry voice. But he could not be angry with him so he started talking again. "Hyung! Which one should I buy for them?" asked Tae Ri and showed him three types of snacks.
"Ah! Hurry! Just take whatever you want." said Dae Ju. He was so tired that he wanted to go home right now and take some rest. But Tae Ri would not let this happen.
"That's why it was a punishment! Ah! Mr. Director! Why are you so unkind!" said Dae Ju in his mind and took a big breath.
"Did you say something?" asked Tae Ri and looked at him.
"No, have you decided or you will take two days?" said Dae Ju mockingly.
"Yes, let's go." Tae Ri ran to pay the bill.
"Hey! wait! Wait for me," shouted Dae Ju. Seems like he was gonna run behind him but he lost all his energy so he walked slowly.
"Mr. Kim Dae Ju! You are ten minutes late." said the director.
"Ah! Mr. Director! Do you know you are so handsome?" said Dae Ju cutely. "Suddenly I become handsome? Wow! Okay, you guys can go home. I know you are late because of Tae Ri." saying this director turns back to where Tae Ri was standing.
"Thank you! You are the best director we have ever seen!" said both of them loudly.
"Okay, okay, Just go now." saying this the director starts moving from there. The two of them were searching for their teammates. They hope that they are still here but it's in vain.
"Ah! Such a traitor!" said Dae Ju and took a small breath. Both of them were walking on their way home.
"Don't say that. if we were in their position, we would do the same thing, wouldn't we?" said Tae Ri with a blank face. "Why are you talking like that today? Aish! I could not understand you." said Dae Ju in his own style (His own style means he talked loudly without taking a breath and it seems like he is scolding whom he talked with but he also has a smile on his face).
After half an hour they reached their home. It was a big house surrounding various kinds of small trees. It was dark outside. So, the building looks so beautiful from the outside because of the lighting. It was white-colored from the outside and it was so big that it could be compared to a small palace. Dae Ju remembered how they spent their time in the past. They had to live in a small house. The seven of them had to share one room when they were trainees. They did not have enough money to buy their things back then. Some of them were school students but as he is the oldest member of "EXTREME BOYS" he finished his study before he met others. Now, they have become famous, they have many fans all over the world. They become rich for their fans. What if they don't become so famous? Didn't they have to live a hard life as before? Yes, they worked very hard for this life. And they deserve that but if one day comes when they will lose all their fans?
"Ah! I couldn't think anymore." saying this Dae Ju looked around but there was no one. Tae Ri went inside before he reached the door. Dae Ju was thinking these things so deeply that he didn't notice him.
"Hyung, You came? We were waiting for you," said Jung Haeok.
"Why?" asked Dae Ju.
"Come and eat with us," said Nam Gil. "Aigoo! You guys are really very kind. I love you guys."
"Someone said that they are cruel sometimes before," said Tae Ri slowly and poke him.
"Aish! Why do you catch words so easily? Just forget what I said before. Okay?" Dae Ju said to Tae Ri very slowly and whisperingly. After enjoying the dinner he came to his room and lay on the bed. He had to change his clothes but he was so tired that he could not get up from the bed and within a few minutes, he fell asleep.
The next day when he woke up he saw some scar on his face. He was totally afraid. He went to his concert putting makeup on his face so that the marks on his face could not be seen. But he noticed that many people didn't come today. There were a few people who came to enjoy his concert. And Tae Ri broke his promise, he didn't come to cheer him up. He was disappointed to see these things and could not concentrate on singing. The fans got angry with him. They threw bottles, shoes, and many things on him. He could not understand what was going on so he started running. He thought why are they behaving like this? What did he do to them? Suddenly he reached a forest while running. He tried to escape from the forest but he couldn't. There was no camera behind him. There was no one with him. He was alone, all alone. There was darkness everywhere. He stumbled with something and fell to the ground. He saw that something had come to him but it was not a wild animal. It looked like a fairy. He got hit on his head. So he was not able to see the fairy's face.
