"Who are you?! What do you think you are doing?!" He turned towards Rumi with eyes narrowed down at her. Rumi sighed.

"Sir, I am security, I was-"

"Shut up you bitch and let go off me! DK! DK! Help me!" The lady screamed again cutting her off. Both Wonwoo and Rumi cringed at her loud voice. "DK, I really love you! You need to help me; this woman is hurting me. Please help me. I just wanted to see you and click few pic-" Before she could complete her sentence, she went unconscious.

"Uh-Yah- what did you-?" Wonwoo opened and closed his mouth trying to corporate what just happened. Rumi let go of the lady as she slide down against the wall. "What have you done!? Don't come near us! Step away." Wonwoo warned holding up his fist ready to fight her. Rumi sighed in exhaustion.

"Sir, calm down. I mean no harm. I had to no choice but to quiet her down." Rumi explained holding up her hands in surrender.

"Quiet her down? You killed-"

"Sir, please calm down!" She cut him off her voice raising few octaves. "Please." She repeated this time fixing her voice. "Your friend needs help. So please." She calmly said looking at Seokmin who had curled into a ball. 

"Seokmin-ah!" Wonwoo exclaimed rushing to his side. "Seokmin-ah? Are you okay?"

"He's gone into a panic attack."

"Don't come near." Wonwoo warned making Rumi freeze her movements. She pressed her lips and nodded her head. "Seokmin-ah look at me." Wonwoo slapped his cheek few times trying to get his attention but his eyes were fixed on the unconscious lady. Rumi looked at her and stepped in between Seokmin' view of her finally blocking her which might have broken him out of his trance as he looked at Wonwoo. "Yah! Seokmin-ah!" Wonwoo cried in somewhat in relief.

Rumi looked away and connected her communication device which had come off when the lady aggressively thrashed against her. She plugged the wire on the little black box on her waist and held her wrist near mouth. "Code red. I repeat code red. We have an intruder. Need medical aid."

"Copy. What's your 20?" Rumi looked around for precise location.

"Hallway A6. Far end."

"10-4. On it." With that signal went off. Rumi turned towards the two idols who were in hugging each other in comfort. Rumi turned around and looked to move them to another spot probably away from the unconscious intruder. She checked the room behind her. It was a storage room so she moved to another one across it. It was empty, looked like changing room with few boxes kept here and there. She went inside inspecting it. Opened the windows ventilating the room before walking out.

"Wonwoo-shi?" She called cautiously. Wonwoo tilted his head to look at her. "Please help him. It's better inside." She suggested. Wonwoo nodded and guided Seokmin inside with Rumi silently followed them. Wonwoo helped Seokmin to the couch while Rumi disappeared near the boxes looking for something.

"Seokmin-ah, how are you feeling?"

"I am fine." He replied in quiet voice.

"She didn't hurt you, did she?" Wonwoo questioned.

"Ani." Seokmin shook his head. "But I was scared. She was scary."

"Here." A female voice interrupted. Both of them looked at the packaged water bottles in her hand. " Uh! I found them there. Don't worry they are sealed and not expired." She explained before they could get wrong idea.

"Gomapseumnida.(Thank you)" It was Seokmin who spoke.

"Ah. Ye." Rumi nodded her head as Wonwoo took bottle from her hand. "You don't have to worry. The medical aid will be here soon. Please rest here for a while." Rumi smiled then realizing she was wearing mask so it was useless. "I'll wait outside. If you need anything call for me." She bowed and hurried outside.

"Jogiyo!" Rumi stopped and turned around. It was Wonwoo. "You didn't kill..."

"Hyung!"

"She's unconscious. Don't worry." She bowed and left.

"Hyung! Why would ask something like that?" Seokmin asked.

"Mwo? You didn't see her knocking her out? She wacked her on her neck like this!" He said enacting the scene. "This hard. She wacked her this hard. I sure thought she killed her." Wonwoo was scared. That was the only the reason why he was talking nonstop like this. There were only two reasons for him acting like this, one he is frustrated, two he is scared and nervous. But his nonstop talking somehow comforted Seokmin.

Soon the medical aid and other security members arrived and escorted both of them safely out of there. Both of them looked for the lady who had helped them but she was missing from the group escorting them.

"Wahhh. The crowd was crazy!" One of the security laughed in excitement. Somehow the excitement was transformed from the fans to him and Hyun was not having it. He was already tired running around going undercover, doing hard labour and then this jumping jack was not what he needed right now. Rumi had gone mia after he had sprouted out some nonsense. He needed to get in touch with her and get out of here.

"Did you hear by the way?" Other guy asked looking at both Hyun and excited one. Hyun raised his eyebrow in question. "Some fan crossed the security line and got in."

"Mwo?" Hyun almost exclaimed. "What do you mean got in?" What the hell is wrong with these guys? Aren't they hired to stop this from happening then why are they so relaxed? "Did they caught the fan? What exactly happened, do you have any idea?"

"Yeah, they caught the fan. I heard from the other team. Luckily someone from the ground team was there for break and had stopped the fan." The guy explained. "The lines team are so gonna get it from the captain." He laughed and shook his head. Hyun made a face at that, what kind of guy is he? Laughing at other's expense. Hyun shook his head and increased his pace wanting to not associate himself with people like them.

"Yah, Hyun where are you running? Wait for me!" The excited one called and joined Hyun. "He is weird, isn't he?" He asked throwing his hand over Hyun's shoulder making Hyun almost snort in irony. "Oh, by the way in which team is your girlfriend in?" He asked as Hyun opened door for security room.

"Girlfriend? What are you talking about?" Hyun's voice almost dying at the end as noticing the situation in room. Captain Hwa was standing in the middle with line's team in front of him, heads bowed. A laptop opened on table probably checking the footage. Everything looked normal but Rumi, who stood out like sore thumb to Hyun. "Rumi?"

"Who? Rumi? Is that your girlfriend's name?" He was left hanging as Hyun walked towards Rumi and stood beside her.

"What are you doing here?" He whispered in her ear pulling her shirt sleeve. Rumi gave him a side eye before returning her eyes back to the footage playing on the laptop screen. Hyun followed her suit and fixed his eyes on the screen. As he thought it was the footage from when the fan crossed the lines. Huh? Hyun blinked his eyes few times and glanced at Rumi who looked anywhere but at him. There she was playing hands with intruder and then finally knocking her out.

"It looked like she was about to attack Seokmin-sii." Captain Hwa commented rewinding the footage few times. "Knocking her out is something I wouldn't recommend but it seemed like you had no choice." He continued glancing up at Rumi who looked straight ahead as if she cared less of his opinion and it was true.

"Seokmin-si had gone into to panic attack. It was best choice to stop her from being aggressive the way she was being." Another guy input his comment, probably from the medic team looking at the cross on his shoulder. Still, she knocked the girl out in front of the idols. Hyun looked at Captain Hwa knowing well, they have been warned by him to not use violence at any point, to avoid using it.

"Hmm. We'll discuss about this later." He hummed nodding his head. "Now those on duty return back to your post." The lines team bowed and were out of there. Leaving those off duty, who were free to leave. "Others are free to leave." Captain Hwa said dismissing them. Rumi slightly bowed and turned towards her already packed bag, throwing it over shoulder she turned towards Hyun.

"Mwo? Ah! Wait." He nodded realising that he was her ride home. Quickly shoving his things in his bag and hastily placing the communication device in the box he followed the already moving Rumi. "Wait for me! Rumi!" Hyun called for her. The whole journey he was calling out her name as she continued to ignore him. He didn't know what she was so angry at him for? "Rumi, I'm really sorry. I am stupid. You know how I sometimes sprout nonsense-" The car door was slammed shut on his face before he could complete speaking. "Ugh!" He groaned slammed his on headrest.

The clicking sound of door made Youngjae lean up and stare. "Rumi-ya, you are home?" He asked removing the pillow between his legs and sit up. He was lazing around waiting for her to arrive. "You are early?" He asked glancing at clock and back to her. "Yah! Yah! Yah!" He stood up scolding as she had started stripping as soon as she walked in. Leaving each article where she had remove. "At least have some manners, will you? Do you keep forgetting that you are living manly man here?!" He scolded as Rumi ignore him and fell face front the couch where Youngjae was previously laying. "Yah!" He lightly kicked her butt causing her groan in protest.

"I'm tired and hungry." She groaned looking up at him.

"Okay, I'll heat up the food but I ain't picking up your shit." He warned before leaving to kitchen'

"Hmm. Gamavo. I'll pick it up later." She muttered.

"By the way you do remember that we have a ball to attend tomorrow?"

"Urggghh! Nooooo..." Rumi cried wiggling like a worm on the couch. "I can't have a break, can I?" She asked sitting up.

"What's wrong with you? You've been whining more than usual?" He asked setting the dinner table. "If you are up then wash up, dinner is ready"

"I am not whining okay!" She retorted as she made her way to washroom. "Try working your ass off from the morning when you shouldn't be! I need to paid more!" Youngjae scrunched in his face at her loud voice.

"Yah, keep it quiet. It's past midnight." He scolded settling down on his seat and started serving the food as any moment the princess would arrive.

"I know but how can he do this to us! We have been already running around then we had help him out because he was out off staff and then they made us do labour work." She complained settling down across from Youngjae.

"Aigoo, my Rumi-ya. You must be so tired. Here, have some food." Youngjae cooed passing her bowl of rice. Rumi huffed taking the bowl and started stuffing her face. "Aish, slowly, slowly. We have enough food." Youngjae smiled looking at his clumsy child. "Huh? What is that on your collar bone?" He asked leaning over table to get clear view. "Is that a hickey? Doesn't look like it though?"

"Hickey, my ass!" Rumi snorted tugging her tank top so Youngjae can have a clear look. "That dumb bitch bit me so bad. I think I need to take a shot for rabies." Move her hand to touch the wound.

"Don't touch it!" Youngjae slapped her hand away. "It looks bad." He muttered worriedly. "Finish your dinner. I'll disinfect it for you later." He said seating down on his seat and hurriedly eating his food.

"Aarso." Rumi muttered back.

"How did you even managed to get hurt like this in the first place?" Youngjae questioned as he lightly dabbed the wound with disinfectant.

"I was trying to stop her from attacking."

"Attacking?! What the hell is happening in there?" Youngjae questioned surprised hearing something like attacking was happening in entertainment industry with high security.

"I know right! I'm telling you these fangirls are literal crazy! I've met craziest criminals before I'm never been so dumbfounded. Like what is wrong with girls these days?!" Rumi complained throwing up her hands.

"How did this even happen with high security?"

"That's the thing. This can only happen with insider's help, right?" Youngjae nodded his head. "I thought so. But it's not my place to say so." Rumi shrugged her shoulders as Youngjae moved back done with treated her wound. "I rather not get involved in decision making. I'll do what I am asked to do." Youngjae sighed closing the first aid box. He was getting worried. It seemed like everything was going wrong for Rumi. And somehow, he thought he was reason behind it. Had he had not asked her to come to South Korea maybe she would've been happier.

"It is hard, isn't it?" He suddenly asked.

"Huh?" Rumi looked at him noticing the change in his voice.

"Everything has been going wrong since you came here." He said. "Do you regret it?" He asked turning towards her.

"What? What are you talking about?"

"If I hadn't asked you to come he-"

"I would've been worse." Rumi cut him off. "Oppa, stop thinking whatever shit your mind is making up. Me having difficulties is nothing to do with you. Even it was you asking, coming here was my decision. And what sort of life will be if there are not difficulties huh?" Rumi asked grabbing Youngjae hands. "You know how I have a habit of complaining about small, small things. Whenever things don't go my way, I complain. But that doesn't mean it is hard for me, it definitely doesn't mean that you should blame yourself for it."

"But Rumi-ya-"

"There is no but in here." She cut him off again. "Oppa, both of us know, I would have already lost myself if it wouldn't have been you."

"Rumi-ya..."

"So, don't you ever dare blame yourself, aarso?" Youngjae pressed his lips together trying to stop his eyes from watering. "A-answer me?!" Rumi tugged his hands her own voice breaking.

"Aarsoo." Youngjae nodded his head. A smile formed on Rumi's face hearing that. Youngjae chuckled and patted her head.

"Now, go away." Rumi pushed him getting up. "I'll do the dishes, you go to bed."

"I'll help you."

"No, go to bed. You already stayed up late for me. Just go to bed!" She shouted the later part as she disappeared in the kitchen.

"Aarso! But we are going to doc tomorrow to get your wound checked out!" A whatever was heard in response. Youngjae smiled and retired to bed.
