Hug

It was just about time when BEAST was going on stage. Sunhee who was wearing black from top to bottom, grabbed her walkie talkie and asked to make way for BEAST to come up. She walked through the corridor checking out groups which are next on the list. She stopped in front of a door with a "BEAST" sign on it.

"Okay guys, get ready, you're.. OUCH!"

Sunhee took her "CREW" name tag off her neck. It hooked onto the door handle which made her choke a bit. The BEAST boys looked at her in pity. Her face was extremely tired and she was sweating. Though her hair was tied up, she still felt hot, maybe because of her all-black outfit.

"Whoa Sunhee-sshi. Be careful," said Kikwang, standing up from his seat.

"I'm okay. Guys, hurry up you must be on stage in a few minutes. You're not nervous, right? Don't be. Don't try to be the best, just do your best.."

"I think you're the one who is nervous, Sunhee."

Sunhee looked at the guy with that deep voice. She took a deep breath and smiled.

"I'm not nervous. Okay, come on! Move move!"

The six guys immediately got up and walked outside. Sunhee waited for them to come out until the last guy was at the door, standing right there staring at her instead of catching up.

"Why are you not moving?" asked Sunhee.

"Um, aren't you supposed to cheer for me or something like that? A punch on the shoulder. A "hwaiting"? A kiss on the cheek, perhaps?"

"Sssht! Dongwoon keep your voice low. I don't want any crew to mock me about us. Okay fine. Hwaiting!" said Sunhee, giving a hard punch on Dongwoon's shoulder.

"Well, ouch," said Dongwoon in a flat tone. He then walked quickly, catching up with other members.

"I thought she was going to.. oh well," he whispered to himself as he looked back and saw Sunhee waving vigorously at him.

~~~~~

Sunhee was rushing here and there, spoke through her walkie talkie a few times, and went to the vending machine to get a cold can of coke. She wasn't gonna drink the coke, just to feel the cold can and press it to her cheeks.

"Tired much?"

Sunhee startled and turned around. "Damn, Daehee you scared me. Well what do you think? I'm not the type of girlfriend who can follow my guy anywhere I want without being busy. I'm part of the crew."

Daehee laughed softly. "I know. Aww, Sunhee, have strength! By any chance do you know where SHINee's room is?"

"You Jonghyun-biased. Just go straight until you find a T-intersection. Go right, and it's the door with a blue star on it," Sunhee took out her coke and press it onto her cheeks. "Damn! Cold."

Daehee shook her head looking at her bestie's babo-ness. "Thanks! And of course I'm biased. Like, duh, he's my guy!"

"Yeah whatever. Buzz off!" Sunhee said sarcastically, but was actually joking. Daehee knew that. She laughed even more while walking away.

~~~~~

Sunhee chugged down her can of coke, while watching on the monitor how the performance went. Deep inside she wished she was one of those fans, who are in their seats, chanting and cheering for their idols. Sunhee reached into her pocket, and pulled out her BEAST lightstick that Dongwoon gave to her.

"Lit it on if you feel like it. Though you're not one of those hundreds of B2UTies, you're the only B2UTY I know. In my heart."

Those words Dongwoon whispered to her a few days ago, kept replaying on her head. She secretly made a smile and lit her lightstick. Just when she was turning around to get back to her job, someone bumped into her and made her grip loosen. The lightstick fell, and smashed to the floor. It broke into two pieces.

"Oh my.." Sunhee got up and ignored her bruised left hand while running to get her lightstick back.

"Omo! I'm so sorry, are you okay?" a soft voice made Sunhee look up. "Unnie?"

"Jung Jihee? What are you.. oh right, Minho.." Sunhee got up by the help of Jihee. She still held the two pieces of her lightstick.

"Minho? Hmm. I was actually going to cheer for Hyungshik. But now that you remind me of Minho.. I shall see him first then," said Jihee in a cute and innocent way.

Sunhee scoffed and brushed Jihee's bangs. "You naughty!"

"Aaah, unnie not the bangs!" Jihee tidied up her hair. "By the way are you okay? I'm so sorry I didn't see you coming through.."

"I'm okay. Just a scratch here. But.."

Jihee made a puzzled face, then looked at the lightstick on Sunhee's hands. "Omo.. unnie, sorry! I'll buy you a new one right now. You wait here.."

"No no! You don't have to, really. It's just that now I'm feeling uneasy. I hope their stage performance is okay."

"You sure?" asked Jihee.

Sunhee nodded. "Now which room do you want me to take you to, then? ZE:A? Or SHINee?"

~~~~~

Sunhee smiled as Jihee chased Daehee all over the room. Daehee couldn't stop teasing Jihee with Minho's ridiculous yet unique hairstyle that night. Daehee ran over to Jonghyun, Jonghyun's arms were wide open. And taraaa~ they were hugging each other. Jonghyun said something like "don't hurt my girlfriend!" which made Jihee give up and went back to sit beside Minho.

The two couples interacted like there was no one else in the room. Key decided to gussy up, while Taemin and Onew were paying many attention to the TV above. Sunhee wished she could do the same way with Dongwoon, without being noticed by other crews. Or being talked about it. The crew didn't know their relationship together.

Suddenly Sunhee felt her walkie talkie buzzed. She took it off her belt and answered.

"BEAST's stage is done. There was a problem, Dongwoon slipped on stage due to the wet stage, cause of the rain. They are heading back to their changing room," said the voice on the walkie talkie. Sunhee stood still.

So that's the meaning of the broken lightstick, she thought. She quickly rushed out of the room, leaving the door wide open, leaving Daehee and Jihee simply confused.

~~~~~

The door was roughly opened. The six guys all paid attention to Sunhee who was panting and sweating even more. Her eyes looked worried. She walked inside the room, passing Kikwang who was practically topless, Hyunseung and Junhyung chugging down their bottles of water, Doojoon and Yoseob who were chilling in front of the conditioner. She went straight to Dongwoon, who was sitting down and massaging his own neck.

"Sunhee, you okay? What's with all the rush?" said Dongwoon, trying hard to stand up.

Without any words, Sunhee moved forward and had her arms around Dongwoons neck. She hugged him so tight as if she was going to be gone by tomorrow. The other five guys were still paying attention to them.

"Sun..hee?" called Dongwoon once again. This time softer, and hugging his girl back.

"Are you okay? What happened? How did you slip? I'm sorry I didn't ask the crew to mop the stage before you guys perform. Are you hurt anywhere?"

Those words came out of Sunhee's mouth without any brakes. She said it in a worried and soft voice, Dongwoon found it a bit ticklish since Sunhee spoke right into his ears. He smiled, and gave Sunhee a few pats on her back.

"I'm okay, Sun. Actually I am hurt at some parts, but having you here, rushing into this room and hugging me like this, makes the pain go away," said Dongwoon.

"You sure you're not hurt?" asked Sunhee.

"Yep," Dongwoon convinced her.

The two of them stood still. Still in a hugging position. Junhyung let out a fake cough to make the awkward ambience fade away.

"You can let me go now," said Sunhee.

"Why? I'm healing myself right now," teased Dongwoon.

Sunhee pulled herself off and saw Dongwoon's face full of happiness. He surely didn't look as if he was in pain. Damn, I over reacted, she thought.

"Finally you got the guts for public display of affection."

People inside the room looked at the door.

"Congratulations, unnie," said Jihee, smiling widely. Daehee raised her hands, and Jihee gave a high five.

"Oh, shut up you two," Sunhee looked away, hiding her blushing face.

The BEAST members couldn't help but giving a teasing smile too to the couple. Doojoon even walked over to Dongwoon and elbowed him gently.

"Since everybody have already found out about this, then shouldn't it be okay if I do this?" asked Dongwoon, while wrapping his arm around Sunhee's shoulders and pulling her tight to him.

"Dongwoon, I don't even.."

Dongwoon moved his face closer to Sunhee's. It made her stop talking. Her heart was beating faster thinking of what would happen next.

She closed her eyes and had this scared face. Dongwoon smiled and kissed her on her forehead. Sunhee then blinked a few times and she looked at Dongwoon.

"Don't worry, I'll save the special kiss for next time."
