Chapter 6 Back at 2AM’s room, the Changmin, Seulong and Jiwoon are now preparing to go to bed but still they are concern with Jokwon who is still on the phone with their CEO.
“I hope Kwon-hyung, doesn’t get that much scolding.” Jiwoon said as he looks at Jokwon who’s pacing back and forth in the living room.
“Just be quiet Jiwoon-ah.” Said Seulong and put his forefinger on his lips, signing him to be quiet.
At Jokwon’s side, he can hear how frustrated and angry his CEO is upon learning that he went missing.
“Kwon-ah, you know I consider you as my son already but you have to think of the consequences of your actions!” JYP said. “What if our local media learns about this it will be a big scandal!”
“I’m sorry Hyung.” Jokwon manages to reply. “I promise it will never happen again.”
But as he remembered again all the things that happened that day, Jokwon just can’t help but smile. The boys from the other room saw it.
“What’s the matter now with Jokwon?” asked Seulong. “Is he smiling?”
“Maybe it’s none of our business but I know something happened when he went missing.” Changmin said. “I guess it was that girl.”
“Yeah, I’ve never seen him like this before.” Added Jiwoon.
Still on the phone, Jokwon expressed his deepest apology to his CEO but then he got shocking news…
“Because of what happened, I am cutting short your promotional tour.” JYP said in a firm voice. “After your mini showcase, all of you are flying home to prevent further interactions to the media.”
And with that last sentence, JYP hung up. Jokwon didn’t have a chance to speak. Then he remembered Gain, he still wanted to see her after the event. He wanted to know where she leaves in Korean, on how to contact her and if there is any chance they can meet again. All Jokwon can do is seat on the couch and burry his mind in a lot of questions. “I can’t believe this is happening.” Jokwon thought. “Tomorrow is the last time I’m going to see her.”
The next morning, 2AM’s crew is busy setting up the conference room. The showcase will start at exactly 10am and then the boys will fly out at 2PM back to Korea.
Outside, a lot of fans have already lined up to witness the last day of 2AM’s promotion tour in Singapore. They learned about it through the news and a lot of reports have also gathered to record the event.
At 2AM’s room, everything was in a total chaos. Stylists running around trying to find where they put the boy’s cloths and accessories, makeup artists trying to juggle one member’s makeup to another. But above all that, one member is quietly seating by the window. He was holding their song sheet as if he was rehearsing by himself. Seulong was able to see Jokwon state at that moment and said to himself, “It will be alright Kwon-ah. If you and Gain are meant to be then fate will pull you back together.” Seulong doesn’t want to see their leader like this so he approached him.
“Kwon-ah, are you ok? Seulong said as he put a hand on Jokwon’s shoulder.
Like being awaken from a deep sleep, Jokwon was startled and stood up.
“Sorry, didn’t mean to frighten you.” Seulong said as he let Jokwon seat again. “Kwon-ah, I’m just concern about you. Let’s just stay focus on our show later, Okay? And don’t let Jiwoon see you like this, he looks up to you, you know?”
Jokwon just nodded. Suddenly Jokwon had an idea. Leaving Seulong at the living room, Jokwon approached their PD.
“Noona, I need one favor from you.” He whispered.
“Sure, Kwon-ah” Kim PD whispered back.
“You remember the girl I’m with yesterday, right?”
“Yeah, Changmin said her name is Gain, what about her?”
“Well, she’s going to watch later and I want her to be seated at the front. Can you help me with that?” Jokwon said in a shy manner.
“Alright, don’t worry. I’ll take care of it for you.” Kim PD said patting Jokwon’s back.
Jokwon bowed at Kim PD as a sign of gratefulness. Kim PD’s sight followed Jokwon as he walk to the makeup table and sighed. “Kwon-ah, you’ve change a lot in just one night. This girl must be really special.” Kim PD thought.
At Gain’s suite.
Gain was just staring out her window and saw the long line of fans of 2AM. Then a sudden flash back came to her mind. She cannot forget Jokwon’s face as he was swarmed by a mob of fans. She smiled at the thought but then her heart hurts. She doesn’t have the strength to cry anymore because she already cried herself to sleep last night.
Still deep with in her thoughts, Gain did not hear the knock on her door. It was Gain’s personal attendant, Jea. She approached Gain and held her hand.
“Gain-ah, I heard what happened.”
Gain just looked at her and gave her a hug.
“Jea-unnie, I’m glad your here.” Gain whispered.
“Don’t worry now, I’m here.” Jea said while she stroke Gain’s hair. “But do you have to run away again?
“I just can’t stand him unnie,” Gain said as she pulls away from Jea’s hug and stood up. “I’m sure you already heard what he’s planning for me.”
“Gain-ah, maybe it’s not going to be that bad. A promise is a promise.” Jea replied in calm way.
“But I met someone and I don’t know how tell him.”
“Oh really and when are planning to tell me this?” asked Jea with a little upset tone.
“I will tell if you can do me a favor?” Gain replied and then whispered something to Jea.
“Gain-ah, that’s impossible. Our flight leaves in the afternoon!” Jea protested.
But when she looked at Gain, she can see the little girl she used to sing and cradle to sleep. She sees longing and pleading in her eyes. It hurts her seeing the girl she considers as a sister in situations like this. Eventually Jea gives in. Gain gave Jea a weak smile and a hug.
The conference room is now packed with screaming fans and reports for 2AM’s showcase is about to start. Inside the boy’s dressing room, Jokwon cannot make himself stay in one place. He paces back and forth as he waits for Kim PD’s signal that Gain has arrived. At exactly 10AM, the door opened and a loud roar from their fans can now be heard but the only thing Jokwon wanted to hear is that Gain has arrived. As Kim PD entered the room, she signaled the boys to enter the stage.
Jokwon was the last person to leave the room and before the dressing room door closes, Kim PD softly grabbed Jokwon’s hand.
“Sorry Kown-ah, but she’s not here yet.” Kim PD whispered.
With that being said, Jokwon headed to the stage entrance and took a peak at the audience as if he didn’t believe what Kim PD just said. He can now see the vacant seat that was reserved for Gain. His heart sank but still he hoped that she might just be late. “The show must go on,” he thought. Right then the host called their name and all 4 members entered. Being a professional artiste, Jokwon stepped on stage and flashes the audience with his charismatic smile and bowed. The audience is all screaming mad seeing their idols in the flesh and when 2AM started to sing their first song the conference hall began to sing as well.
After a couple of songs, the audience has been given a chance to ask the boys. Every member will take turn in answering the questions so when Changmin is talking, Jokwon glanced at the chair reserved for Gain and it was still empty. He looked at Kim PD and she just swayed her head signaling that she has no idea. A lot of questions are now building in Jokwon’s head. He cannot help but think that something might have happened to her or is she just playing his feelings. Still deep with in his thoughts, Jokwon did not realize that it’s already his turn to answer and all eyes are on him.
“Sorry, can you repeat the question please.” Jokwon said as he again flashes his bright smile and bowed to apologize to the audience.
After the question and answer portion of the showcase, it’s now time for the group to sing their final song. “You Wouldn’t Answer My Call” seems to the appropriate song on what’s happening to Jokwon. As he sings his line, the audience is now in tears. While everyone is into the song, no one noticed a lone spectator at the back of the room. Shedding silent tears.
