Starred Up

Deen, a seven year old boy, arrives in Korea with his mother Mia. With a strong determination to raise her son properly, Mia ensures Deen lacks no love in his life. In her spare time, Mia is a huge fangirl of the Korean boy group, TNT. But in an unexpected twist of fate, the mother-son duo end up being the neighbors of D3, another legendary boy group, which happens to be TNT's biggest rival. D3 consists of the short tempered Taewon, gentle Joon Jae and the goofy Jan. On top of that, Mia is hired as the personal designer for TNT, which consists of the charismatic leader Soo-Yon and the playboy maknae Cheng. Despite the rocky start, Mia and her son grow closer to all the members of both the groups. With time, the members realize they have fallen in love with the same woman, disrupting each group's dynamics. Furthermore, the origins of the hostility between the two groups resurface, making everyone involved question the decision they made a decade ago. As secrets unfold, the members vie for Mia's affections, Deen observes that she has eyes only for one of them. But which one of them will she choose?

Jan-When did love touch me

Jan, aren't you a little too old to play that shit?' a familiar voice came from behind me. I looked up from the screen to see Taewon hyung standing over me, with an irritated expression.

'Tae hyung!' I exclaimed cheerfully. 'When did you get back from Japan?'

'I came straight from the Airport,' Taewon hyung said drily. 'Where's Joonjae?'

'At his drama shoot. He'll come in late.'

We were at our studio, waiting for the next interview on our schedule. The entire month was full of tours and interviews at various shows. The whole country rejoiced when nation's most beloved idols were released from military duties after two years. Funny that the absence of two years did nothing to reduce our popularity; in fact it seemed to have boosted. Taewon hyung started to work on his solo album. while I found my schedule packed with variety shows and commercials.

Taewon hyung shrugged and plopped on the couch. He was clearly tired from the tour.

'If the Manager comes, tell him not to disturb me,' hyung ordered.

'But we have an interview in an hour!' I exclaimed. 'The Manager will flip if you don't turn up!'

Taewon hyung looked at me with his 'I-don't-give-a-fuck' look. His temper and stubbornness was famous throughout the industry. I let out a sigh. There was no point in trying to convince this guy.

'Fine,' I conceded. 'I'll tell him to delay the interview.'

I picked up the phone and texted our manager, Yun-man hyung. Within seconds he replied with a series of curses and pleading. I felt sorry for him. Handling Taewon hyung's tantrum wasn't easy. Poor manager bore the brunt of his wrath.

I replied to the manager's text with an apology and started to scroll through my Facebook page. Fans commented on our last gig and how they loved the new songs. I smiled as I went through their comments until I saw a certain article post. It was about Joonjae.

'Idol turned actor Kang Joonjae is rumoured to be dating his co-star Song Eun-Sung. They have been spotted together numerous times...'

Boring, I thought. Joonjae was never into dating girls. He was too busy with his career but the media kept on linking him with others. I scrolled down until I saw another article. My smile froze. I looked back at Taewon hyung. He was in a deep slumber with his back turned towards me. I clicked on the news.

'K-pop's royalty duo, Soo-Yon and Cheng are being released from the army today. Soo-Yon and Cheng, both enlisted at the same time at the beginning of 2014. Soo-Yon joined the Marines while Cheng served as a Public Service Worker due to his injury from ten years ago. Their agency, T-Net Entertainment has confirmed that the duo will be releasing an album this year...'

'What are you reading Jan?' Taewon hyung's sleepy voice broke my reverie. He turned towards me.

'Fan's comments,' I said. I checked my watch. 'Joonjae's running late.

'Well then, call him,' Taewon shrugged groggily. 'See where he is.'

He went back to sleep. I dialed Joonjae's number. Took him a while to pick it up.

'Hello Jan,' Joonjae greeted. He sounded tired too. His shoot probably went on all night long.

'Joon, where are you?' I asked.

'Heading to the studio. Will be there in a while.'

'Cool,' I said and hung up. I looked over our interview questions. Most of them were pretty generic questions. Good. As long as the interview did not include anything which would make Taewon furious, everything looked good. A short performance will follow suit and then we were done for the day. Thank god. The schedule was comparatively short; at least it did not include another all nighter.

I sighed and put on my headphones. 'When did love touch me...' played through. It became a regular habit of mine to listen to this song before every performance. The song always brought back a lot of memories.
