Chapter 10 - Push and Pull

[C.N.Blue Dorm]

SeoHyun: Member ah, I think I should start work tomorrow. I think I can manage it.

YongHwa: No!

SeoHyun: Yes, please.

JongHyun: But, it will be troublesome for everyone because you need help to go in and out of the van for our schedules. Even if we don't mind Hyun, I'm afraid that other staff might complain somehow.

SeoHyun: But... I don't feel that worthy when I'm stuck here. Plus, I'm sick of resting.

MinHyuk: How about you only accompany us to practice sessions? That way you can still drive us around.

SeoHyun: Yeah!

JungShin: I thought you broke you right leg?

SeoHyun: But I still can put some force onto that small accelerator okay? Let me work, even if it is only to and fro the practice room?

JongHyun: Then, I guess it is okay.

YongHwa: *shrugging his shoulders* I don't know if this is a good idea yet.


[At the practice room]


SeoHyun: See? We made it here just fine =D *smiling proudly*

JungShin: Yeah... I guess you really can do it.

SeoHyun: Hehe... I said so. Erm, are you guys still practicing I'm a Loner? I thought you're all good at it already. You play it a few times a day when there is live broadcast.

MinHyuk: No... but we will practice it too if we have time. We have another new song now called "Love Love Love". It's new but we already got quite much of it when you're are not here. Want to listen out?

SeoHyun: Of course :) Wah... I'm like a lucky fangirl now. I'm one of the first people to listen to C.N.Blue's new song.

YongHwa: *smiling to himself*

SeoHyun: *curious* Oppa? Why are you smiling to yourself?

YongHwa: *embarrassed* Oh... it is nothing.

SeoHyun: *going closer* Oppa... you're being w.e.i.r.d. *looking directly at his face*

YongHwa: *stunned at the sudden close distance with SeoHyun* No... it's nothing... Hyun... you're... erm...

MinHyuk: Hyung, why are you stuttering?

YongHwa: I'm not you little brat!

JungShin: But you were.

YongHwa: That's... that's because I need to go to the toilet. Thats... that's all. *ducks to the toilet outside*

SeoHyun: Toilet? Why do this situation sound similar? Like it happened before...

JongHyun: Of course. It should seem familiar although it is weird.

SeoHyun: Why? *curious*

JongHyun: Hyun, remember like one month ago when you first arrived? In this very practice room, you uttered the same words like YongHwa hyung. It is weird though because both of you seemed to be beet red when you need the toilet? *laughing to himself*

SeoHyun: *remembering the past* Right... I did... Hehe...

MinHyuk: So there is something common between you and YongHwa hyung.

SeoHyun: So? It...it is nothing.

JungShin: *starting to tease* So... there's not only one thing similar. Why do you start to stutter now? Do you...

SeoHyun: NO! OF COURSE NOT! YOU ARE ALL CRAPPING!

JungShin: What am I crapping? I haven't even finished my sentence yet.

JongHyun: Hyun, you're turning red again.

SeoHyun: *covering her face* No! I'm not.

JongHyun: Yes, you are. Why?

SeoHyun: I... I...I think I need some cold drink. I'm going to the vending machine.

MinHyuk: Cool. Get me a can of Coke. Thanks.

SeoHyun: *mumbling* Okay... *went out*

JungShin: *scratching his head* What is with her reaction? I was just about to ask her, "Do you like copy male idols?" only.

MinHyuk: I don't know.


With that, SeoHyun opened the practice room door and hobbled out with her crutches. With pure coincidence, she ran into a wet face YongHwa when she was passing by the men's room.


SeoHyun: Oh... oppa...

YongHwa: Hyun ah, where are you going so fast? You have to be extra careful now.

SeoHyun: Oh...I... I just going to the vending machine to buy drinks. Oppa... why are you wet?

YongHwa: I... I just wash my face. I feel a little hot inside.

SeoHyun: Why? Are you sick? *moving towards YongHwa so that she can place a hand on his forehead*

YongHwa: *backing away* Err... No. I... I'm fine. Err... do you want me to buy the drinks for you? You see a handful with your crutches.

SeoHyun: Aniyo... I can handle it myself.

YongHwa: Nope. I don't buy that. I think I should atleast accompany you there.

SeoHyun: Okay, oppa... *smiling sweetly back at him*

YongHwa: *thinking to himself* Why does she have to smile like this everytime? It makes me go jelly-like everytime I see her smile...



[Evening: C.N.Blue Dorm]



SeoHyun: Member ah! You've got so many letters today! *shocked at the pile of letter once they open the door*

MinHyuk: Yeah... fan letters.

JongHyun: Haha! We do get a lot of those every month.

JungShin: Yah... that's all because of my popularity =P

YongHwa: No! It's because of mine :)

SeoHyun: Hehe! Wow... I've never see such a big pile before. Why don't you get them on other days?

JongHyun: Ah... Fans come over and drop off their fan letter at the guard house. The guard ajusshi will keep these letters for us and pass it to us at the end of each month. Hence, it turned into a big pile every month.

SeoHyun: Ah... I see. Can I read them? Haha!

MinHyuk: Okay... since we have a lot of them, I guess you can help open them and sort out the letters to their owners.



SeoHyun hobbled to the sofa and sat down while the members picked up all the letters and dumped them in front of her on the coffee table. SeoHyun was practically damn fascinated with all the cute envelops with heart shapes and pretty cartoon characters. They even smell good too.



SeoHyun: *reading one of the letters* To my dearest MinHyuk oppa, I think you're so handsome and I love your smile. The way you play the drums in I'm a Loner is so cool that I fall in love everytime I watch you perform. I hope C.N.Blue will continue to be more popular in the future and don't forget to smile always!

MinHyuk: *proud* Haha... see? They love me.

SeoHyun: *laughing after reading the letter* MinHyuk ah, do you always get these kind of letter?

MinHyuk: Yeah... Almost every single fan letter is about the same.

SeoHyun: Oh... then I shouldn't waste time reading them since they are all the same. I'll just sort it out for you.



Then, SeoHyun picked up another letter that was for YongHwa.



SeoHyun: To YongHwa oppa, *reading aloud* Oppa! My name is Kim Minji and I think you're the coolest member among the four members! I love your voice because it melts my heart everytime you sing. Oppa... can I meet you someday? Like a private fan meeting? My contact number is 010-1234567. I have a little gift for you together with this letter. Please check inside the envelope. I love you, YongHwa oppa. Saranghae~ I'll wait for your reply.


Inside the huge pink envelope was a white boxer with red hearts printed on it. SeoHyun was filled with unknown jealousy the moment she read "Can I meet you someday?" Plus, this girl gave him a heart boxer. What is she? A pervert? SeoHyun was silently angry and she exhaled in frustration.

SeoHyun: *putting away the letter* I don't want to read anymore. I'm tired.

JungShin: So fast? You just read 2 letters.

SeoHyun: I said, " I'm tired." I will go into my room now. Goodnight.

JongHyun: Is something wrong? Why the sudden tireness?

SeoHyun: No. *standing up*

YongHwa: *confused*

MinHyuk: Okay then. Goodnight.



SeoHyun closes the door to her room. She was pouting all the way to her room and angrily thinks about that fan girl. She thought to herself, " Is she crazy or something? How can she give him boxers? That's such a private thing. Humph!"


YongHwa: What's wrong with her?

MinHyuk: *thinks to himself* Is she actually jealous?

JungShin: Maybe she really got tired due to today's activities.

JongHyun: Yeah... Come on. Let's read on our fan mails.




1 month later...



SeoHyun has recovered fully from her broken limbs except that she still needs to go to the hospital once in a while for physiotheraphy. She is doing her job better every single day as a manager and the company has decided to turn her into C.N.Blue's real manager. She had learn to accept deals, arrange the boys in to shows, schedule their day all in a few months time. Now, the company thinks she capable of doing things properly. So, they even granted her a full-time employee pay.



SeoHyun: REALLY?

Mr.Lee: Yes. From today onwards, we take you as a full-time employee and you would get most of the benefits full-time employee's get such as medical insurance and stuff. Congratulations.


SeoHyun: Kamsahamnida! *quickly runs out of the room towards the practice room*



[Practice Room]



SeoHyun: Member ah! I've been accepted as a full-time employee!

YongHwa: Really?!

JongHyun: WOW!

MinHyuk: Way to GO!

YongHwa: *running over to SeoHyun and bear hugs her* GRATS!

SeoHyun: *suffocating* O..pp...a... can't... breathe... stop...

Other 3 members: *shocked by YongHwa's action*

YongHwa: *embarassed by his action* Oh... sorry... didn't...err...mean it.

SeoHyun: *burning red cheeks* Oppa... why did you do that for...?

Other 3 members: *quietly listening to the conversation like a statue*

YongHwa: *scratching his head* Erm... I... I guess I'm just happy for you.

SeoHyun: Thank you... but...

YongHwa: But...? But what...? *forgetting that there are 3 other member in the room*

SeoHyun: Oppa... does that hug mean anything different? I mean... to you?


YongHwa: *wide eye* Diff...different? I mean... it's nothing different... just...just...


SeoHyun: Oppa... why are you stuttering now?

YongHwa: Err... nothing. I'm... I've just got some nature call. *turn and heads out of the practice room*

SeoHyun: Oppa...? *watching YongHwa walk out of the room*

JungShin: *whistling* What was that man?

JongHyun: Yeah... is there something between the two of you?

SeoHyun: *looks disappointed* No... no... there's nothing.

MinHyuk: *thinking to himself* I think there's definitely something between those two idiots.
