[C.N.Blue Practice Room]
YongHwa: Hyung, you've got to wake up early! You are our manager!
SeoHyun: I'm so sorry! *feeling so embarrassed*
JongHyun: It's okay... Just don't do it again. It's just your first time anyway.
SeoHyun: Ah! Why don't I get you all some food as punishment? Take-away Chinese food? How do you like manduu (dumplings)?
JungShin: Of course! Haha! We love it!
SeoHyun: Chakamman-yo. *left the practice hurriedly to find a chinese restaurant*
SeoHyun went to the nearest Chinese Restaurant she could find and ordered 40 dumplings for takeaway. She was starting to worry if she needed more than that, but she didn't have enough money with her. So, she only bought 40 manduu's. Then, she rushed back to the practice room as she knew everybody did not have any breakfast before this.
[Back at practice room]
SeoHyun: I'm back! Hot and tasty manduu coming! *running towards the nearest table*
MinHyuk: *accidently spotted the wire that is connected to JungShin's bass in front of the running manager* Careful!
SeoHyun: AH! *tripping due to the wire and nearly lost her grip on the bag of manduu's*
MinHyuk: *Jumps out of his seat at the drums to catch SeoHyun* Hey! CAREFUL!
SeoHyun: *catches the bag of dumplings* I got it. Thank God.
MinHyuk: *caught SeoHyun in his arms* Yah, hyung. Be careful. You nearly gave us a heart attack so early in the morning.
SeoHyun: I'm so sorry! Here's your manduu! *smiling brightly and showing off their breakfast*
MinHyuk: Chakamman... HYUNG! How can you have such a small waist?!
SeoHyun: *finally realises that she is still in Minhyuk's arm* EH?! AHHHHH! I...I...
MinHyuk: Manager hyung, your waist is like a girl's waist!
SeoHyun: WHAT?! OF COURSE NOT! I am a MAN!
MinHyuk: This is so weird. Hyung, don't run. Let me feel somemore! YongHwa hyung, JongHyun hyung, JungShin ah, you MUST feel it. It really is small like a girl's waist.
SeoHyun: MINHYUK AH! STOP IT! JUST EAT YOUR BREAKFAST!
JungShin: But manager hyung, your face is so RED!
SeoHyun: WHA...?! Oh... because I need to go to the toilet! See you later! *runs out of practice room*
C.N.Blue: His face is red because he needs to go to the TOILET? EH?!! *bewildered*
SeoHyun just ran straight to the toilet as she wanted to run away from all the questions that might blow her cover. But unfortunately...
Girl 1: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! YOU PERVERT!
SeoHyun: WHAT? WHAT PERVERT?
Girl 1: This is the ladies toilet, you jerk! HELP HELP! PERVERT!
SeoHyun: I know! The ladies toilet? OH RIGHT! * suddenly remembering she is supposed to be a man now* I'm so sorry. Overlooked the sign.
The moment she ran out of the ladies toilet to go next door to the men's toilet, she met with the member again.
YongHwa: What happened? HYUNG! Why did you come out from there?!
SeoHyun: *shocked and can't explain herself*
YongHwa: Hyung ah! This is the ladies toilet!
SeoHyun: Ye..yes. I just barged into the wrong one. I'm suppose to go to this one. *enters the male toilet* AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
YongHwa: Hyung! Stop screaming. You sound like a girl, hyung!
SeoHyun: *just witnessed a man urinating at the urinal bowl and covers her eyes*
YongHwa: Hyung, what is wrong with you now? *feels that SeoHyun is being too weird*
SeoHyun: *runs out of the toilet*
YongHwa: O.O? Are you okay? *shouting after SeoHyun*
SeoHyun: *keeps running away from all the embarrassing scenes*
SeoHyun went to hide at one of the companies practice room. It was empty and dark inside. She thought to herself, "How can I just keep lying like this? They will sure figure out sooner or later."
As SeoHyun was left to figure out how she was going to explain herself later, she suddenly saw the dark shadow of an upright piano.
SeoHyun: Piano? Another piano here too? I should play it to calm myself down. I miss you, piano...
Then, a honey-like sound came out of the piano. It is the song, "River Flows in You" by Yiruma too. SeoHyun's fingers worked like magic on the black and white keys. It was so smooth that she can feel the music rising up and down. Slowly, she is filled with passion in the slightly faster parts and calmer at the start and end. Just as always, SeoHyun always puts herself into the music and goes with the flow.
SeoHyun: *The song ends* Ah... I haven't played this song in so long. It isn't that good anymore. I should practice it.
After that, SeoHyun left the empty practice room and wandered around FNC Music Company. She saw many artists that she used to love to watch on shows. Weirdly, those artists don't seem to be so attractive to her now. They all seemed like a normal person. A normal person in the make-up room. A normal person with half-done messy hair. A normal person that sleeps with no artistic value on the waiting room couch.
SeoHyun: *thinks to herself* I guess they are just the same person but with a mask on stage. Especially the female artists... They look so different without their make-up. Like 2 different individuals. Ah... I'm so tired wandering around aimlessly. Maybe I should just go back to their practice room and explain. *sigh* BUT WHAT AM I SUPPOSE TO SAY?!
[C.N.Blue Practice room]
YongHwa: Yah... Something weird has happened.
MinHyuk: What?
JungShin: You saw a UFO in broad daylight?
YongHwa: Aish you little brat! Of course not! It's our manager hyung...
JongHyun: What about him?
YongHwa: Just now, as I was heading to the toilet, I saw him coming out of the girls toilet. He said he just barged into the wrong one. Then, when he entered the male toilet, he started screaming and covering his eyes when he saw another guy urinating at the bowl. After that, he just ran away and did not stop, eventhough I was calling him. Don't you think he is weird?
JongHyun: Yeah... you are right... What do you think is wrong with him?
JungShin: Hyung, maybe manager hyung got possessed?
All other 3 members: AISH YOU LITTLE BRAT!
JungShin: What? It is possible okay? *starts pouting again*
Just then... *room door opens*
SeoHyun: *enters the room* ...Hi...
C.N.Blue: *speechless*
SeoHyun: Why are you all so quiet and not moving?
C.N.Blue: *still speechless but lookin at each other*
SeoHyun: YongHwa-shii, I'm okay. I just saw a cockroach in the toilet just now. It is my biggest fear. Sorry, I may have frightened you.
YongHwa: Ah... really? Oh... I thought you screamed so loudly because of the other guy in the toilet.
SeoHyun: Oh... no! *continuously lying*
MinHyuk: Yah JungShin ah, it is just a cockroach. Not a ghost.
SeoHyun: GHOST?
MinHyuk: After YongHwa hyung told us about the incident, JungShin straight away jumped to the conclusion that you were possessed.
SeoHyun: EH? No! I'm not being possessed!
JungShin: Mianhe... That was the first thought to pop into my head.
SeoHyun: It's okay. But, aren't you all practicing?
YongHwa: Of course. Hyung, I bet you haven't heard of our new single. Do you want us to perform it for you? Then, you can also judge whether it's okay or not. Just give us another opinion?
SeoHyun: Kurom! Let's start the music! * purposely talk cheerfully to bring up the atmosphere*
MinHyuk: *sat at the drums* Then, 1,2,1,2,3,4...
C.N.Blue: *starts playing the intro with instruments*
YongHwa: Waetoriya Waetoriya! Ba ba ba bara ba! Waetoriya Waetoriya...
SeoHyun sits at one corner, admiring the heavenly voice of JongHyun, the poses of JungShin with his bass and the coolest way MinHyuk twists his sticks using a single hand. Yet, without realising, SeoHyun felt that YongHwa is a little different. Different from the others.
SeoHyun: * thinking to herself* YongHwa oppa... got such a nice voice. It is not sweet like JongHyun, yet it is so attractive. The way his fingers move up and down the frets of his guitar... it is so admirable. Why does he have to stand in the middle? It is the centre of attention and he is already so... attractive. Oh my god... keep to your senses SeoHyun!
As fast as it started, the song ended.
C.N.Blue: How was it, manager hyung?
SeoHyun: It was too cool to be true!
JungShin: Really? Then do you think it will be famous at next weeks KBS Bank Music Awards Chart?
SeoHyun: I will bet it will win the first place for your debut in Korea!
JongHyun: Chongmal? That will be great, hyung.
MinHyuk: Then... hyung, if we really win, what shall we do?
SeoHyun: You don't need to do anything. Hyung will cook up a great supper for you all right after KBS Bank. But, only if you win. So, please do your best!
YongHwa: Manager hyung, you even know how to cook well?
SeoHyun: Er... not exactly that well but I can still manage something simple! If it's simple, it's tasty. Hehe!
JungShin: Hmmm... Hyung, you better do your best in cooking too. Don't torture our stomachs. We are famous idols now. The fangirls will create an anti-fan page specially for you if any of us die of food poisoning or whatever.
SeoHyun: Really? * starting to worry about the supposedly 'simple' supper award*
[C.N.Blue dormitory]
MinHyuk: ARGH! We've been practicing for the whole day. I'm so tired. YongHwa hyung, why is there no other entertainment for us other than music? I'm also a young brat like that pabo JungShin. We need entertainment. Do something as a leader, hyung!
YongHwa: What is there that I can do. I myself have nothing to entertain myself with. ARGH! Just watch TV then.
SeoHyun: *upon listening to the members complain* Erm... then... do you all want to play a game?
C.N.Blue: GAME?! *this suggestion definitely raised all of the members curiousity*
SeoHyun: Yes, a game. Truth game? It is very famous. But this time we use our right hand. Everybody will raise their right hand with all 5 fingers up. One of us will ask a general question such as "Member who doesn't have their driving licence". If there really is one member that doesn't have a driver's licence, then he shall have to drop one finger. The first
person to drop all 5 fingers, loses. How is it?
SeoHyun: Eh, wait... I foresee a problem. What if a person lies? Hmmm...
MinHyuk: Ah! Not to worry! I know all of their secrets! HAHAHAHA!
JungShin: I know all your secrets too! So you can't lie too.
SeoHyun: OKAY! GOOD! Form a circle now.
*All the members and SeoHyun form a small but spacious enough circle*
SeoHyun: Okay! Now we shall play paper scissors stone to decide the first person to ask a question.
Everybody: PaperScissorsStone! PaperScissorsStone! PaperScissorsStone
JungShin: Yes! Me first! Who is shorter than 180cm in real height?
*YongHwa and SeoHyun one finger down*
YongHwa: Aish you little brat! You did it on purpose!
SeoHyun: Hey, relax. I'm short too =D Okay, follow a clockwise rotation. Next is JongHyun.
JongHyun: Who cannot play the guitar?
*MinHyuk and SeoHyun drops one finger*
YongHwa: Hmmm... this is hard. How about who has more than 10000 won in their bank account?
MinHyuk: Yah! What type of silly question is that, hyung?
YongHwa: I do have more than 10000 won, but it is not in my bank account. It is with my mother. :P
*Suddenly, the other 3 members drop one finger except SeoHyun and YongHwa*
C.N.Blue: O.O *stunned* Manager hyung... 10000 won only. You don't have it?
SeoHyun: Erm... no. I guess I am left with 7ooo+ won only and it is not in the bank. It is with me.
C.N.Blue: Hyung... where did all your money go?
SeoHyun: Manduu...
C.N.Blue: What?! You bought that many manduu eventhough you have this little money? Hyung, you must be crazy. If you don't have the money, then don't buy so many manduu. No wonder there are 10 manduu's for each member.
SeoHyun: But... that day at the restaurant...
YongHwa: Manager hyung, we were just kidding. We don't usually eat that much. Oh my god... we ate all your money.
SeoHyun: Kwenchana... I'm okay with it. As long as you all forgive my mistakes and weird incidents today, it is worth the price. I just have to wait until the end of this month to get my salary. Then, I will have money again, don't I?
C.N.Blue: We're so sorry, hyung.
SeoHyun: AIGOO! I said it is okay! Why that sad face:)
JongHyun: We feel bad for using so much of your money in just 2 days.
SeoHyun: AIGOO! YOU LITTLE BRATS!
*The moment the members hear SeoHyun say that*
C.N.Blue: HAHAHAHAHAHA! Manager hyung caught YongHwa hyung's disease. 'YOU LITTLE BRAT' disease! HAHAHAHAHA!
It was a happy night after all. C.N.Blue and SeoHyun's friendship just went deeper and their first happy memory together was created. Maybe, it was all fated for them to meet, like this.
