"Ahh sibal!" Hyun cursed after accidently dropping the bag he was suppose to carry in. "Wae? Why are we doing this?" He sighed in frustration before picking the bag again. Rumi snorted following behind with a large bag over her shoulder. "Really! Do we even get paid for this?" He almost cried out. Both of them doing the hard labour because management was short on staff again. They were already overworking by acting as security and now they were the labourers too.

"You know what? I find this funny even though it's annoying for me too. It's like tables have turned. It's always me who's expressing the pain but now you feel it too. Fighting." Rumi smiled and patted his butt as she passed by him easily carrying the huge ass bag.

Hyun stared at her in annoyance wondering if they have somehow swapped their personality today. "Ugh! No wonder she gets annoyed when I try to be optimistic." He muttered dragged himself behind her. "This is the last one, right?!" Hyun asked placing down the bag among the other they had carried in earlier.

"Hmm. It's the last one." Rumi nodded pulling up her t-shirt to wiped her face when Hyun smacked her arm stopping her. "Mwo?" She was ready to fight him but noticed the other staff member walking by giving her looks. "Mian, Bad habit of mine." She apologised and used Hyun's t-shirt to do it instead.

"Yah!" He shouted but stopped and hid his face when the saw girls pass by and giggle at them. "You-you are really unbelievable." He gritted out of his teeth.

"What?" Rumi genuinely questioned. Hyun sighed realizing it useless arguing with her. "Did you get the mask? I forgot to bring one." Rumi asked looking up at him.

"Mask? Ah. I have an extra. How can you forget one, when Captain specially instructed us to wear one?" Hyun said making his way towards the room they were allotted too.

"Blah..blah..I have lot of things to think of then remember what comes out of that dirtbag's mouth." Rumi rolled her eyes following behind him. Hyun just pressed his lips together. "By the way aren't we supposed to be at the site? They already started the concert right, judging by the noise."

"We are supposed to be by the time they finish."

"Mwo?!" Hyun squeezed his eyes close realizing what he had blurted out. She was not suppose to know that. "By the time they finishhh! Then why the fuck are we doing here so early! Did that shitbag call us to work our ass off like some donkeys?!" Hyun's ear drum almost busted. Hyun turned around and covered her mouth with the mask blocking out the curses she let out. Hyun apologised to other members present in the room.

"This is why I didn't want to tell you and was getting annoyed all by myself." He said, his hand still placed over her mouth. "Are you done? Can I move my hand now?" Rumi gave him a death stare.

"Son of a bit-" Hyun covered her mouth again.

"Stop it already. Cursing won't do anything." Hyun sighed in exhaustion. "I'm moving my hand so please stop, we are already tired enough." Rumi huffed and shrugged his hand off her face. "Thank god." Hyun whispered and plopped down on a stool.

"If only, if only I had my rank, then that dirtbag wouldn't live to see sunrise again." Rumi muttered rummaging through her sack bag. Hyun glanced at her before rolling his eyes.

"You know, that is the same reason why you have been deranked." Hyun replied not realizing he had touched the wrong nerve. Rumi froze for few seconds before continuing her search. She pulled out a pack of cigarettes.

"I'm going out for a smoke." Rumi said and quietly left. Hyun straightened up, realizing what he had said.

"Fuck." He cursed covering his face. His frustration was getting worst out of him. "Rumi! Wait! I didn't mean too." He called out but Rumi was long gone. By the time Rumi walked outside, she had a lit cigarette between her lips. She sighed letting out a white smoke.

He wasn't wrong, was he? She thought. Thinking how she had became sensitive suddenly. He was just stating the facts, there was no need for her to be upset about something when she was at the fault. She sighed again letting out a puff. "Day by day I'm turning out more like him." She muttered sliding down. "I don't want to turn out like him." Her voice came out broken as she hugged her knees curling herself in a ball.

"Carateu!!!!!!! Kwanlanghae!!!!!!" Seungkwan screamed at top of his lungs as his hyungs laughed at his teared stained and snorty face.

"Aigoo. Seungkwan-ah!" Jeonghan laughed hugging him close. One by one everyone joined their hug, while Minghao laughed filming his younger brother's snorty face.

"Yeoreobun. Neomu gamsahabnida!" Seungcheol said his voice breaking at end from getting emotional. He bowed towards the screaming crowd hiding his tears. Soon everyone joining him forming a line and once again they all bowed towards the fans. It was emotional moment for both the artist and their fans, for after a long duration of two years they were able to meet each other in person. The screams, cheers of the fan were something that had kept these artist going and listening to them after years was very emotional.

"Horanghae Carateu!!!!!!!!!!!!" Hoshi roared at top of his lungs wiping his tear streamed face. Saying goodbye was always the hard part but today it seemed more harder for them. "I missed you! And I will miss you!!"

"See you again carats!" Joshua said as they all watched with stars in their eyes. The light sticks twinkling in their eyes as curtain fell slowly separating their dear fans from them. "Seungkwan-ah, is still crying." Joshua laughed ironically wiping his own tears while say so.

"No matter how much I missed Carats but I am damn tired." Dino plopped down and laid like a star fish on the stage.

"Guys, let's move inside. You can rest for a while there. You have to greet your guest too." A staff informed gathering the tired kids and dragging them one by one.

"Yah, get up." Seungkwan said lightly kicking Dino's butt. Dino rolled over having no plans of getting up. "Get up you fat-ass." Seungkwan kicked him once again and dragged himself out of there. Dino was about to get up and kick him back when he saw Seungcheol standing over him.

"Hyungggg..." He whined, cutely putting up his hands for Seungcheol to pick him up. Seungcheol pressed his lips and pick his kid up to his feet. "Gomawo." Dino giggled putting all his weight on his father as his father dragged him along to resting room.

Everyone was spread out all over the room leaving no space to put steps on. They all were out of energy since after a long they had performed a live stage. "My back hurts!" Dokyeom screamed making everyone groan. Dokyeom is only human who still has energy to scream after such exhausting day.

"Dokyeom-ah, shut it, will you?" Mingyu groaned from beside him. Poor Mingyu, Dk was already laying over him and to hear him scream over that.

"Mian. But my back hurts." Dk replied.

"Yeah, why don't you lay properly first?" Wonwoo said nudging him. Dk whined not wanting to move. "Dokyeom-ah, straighten up or it'll hurt more." Wonwoo warned him trying to pull him up but he had no energy to do so. Dokyeom suddenly stood up making Wonwoo flinch back.

"I need to pee." He said and walked out. Wonwoo blinked his eyes wondering what's wrong with him.

"Pee. Pee. Pee. I need to peeeeeeee." Dk sang walking into the washroom.

"Ah, I shouldn't have smoked that another stick." Rumi sighed looking at her redden eyes. She splashed her face with cold water trying to get rid of redness in her eyes. Quickly dabbing tissue paper over her face, she put on her communication device, not wanting to be called out for not doing her job. Good thing she had put it on when she walked out of the changing room. "Looks better." Rumi nodded to herself and put on her mask. "Let's go." She muttered and walked out. "Ah, I just want this end quickly. I'm so tired and hungry." Rumi muttered rubbing her stomach which had started growling. Suddenly the hallway seemed longer to her.

"Excuse me."

"Please! Please DK. It's just a picture!" A girl begged trying to push something on the man who flinched back. Sensing something was wrong Rumi fastened her pace.

"Excuse me. Is something wrong here?" Rumi asked stepping in between them, causing some distance between the lady and the man. Rumi glanced at the lady, who was obviously a foreigner. "Is something I can help you with sir?" She turned to the man. Lee Seokmin? Weren't they supposed to be on stage, performing? Is it over? Rumi furrowed her eyes. He looked scared. Even of her who had come to his aid. So, she decided to turn her attention to the lady.

"Excuse me, ma'am but may I ask how did you enter in this area?" Rumi asked straightening up, covering Seokmin with her frame.

"Who are you to question that?" The lady scowled at her.

Rumi felt her eyebrow twitching, she pressed her lips together. A brat. "I'm a security here." Rumi replied putting her hand on her back pocket to pull out her id but it wasn't there. God dammit. She cursed remembering she had forgotten it on the sink. "Ma'am, if you don't have a liable reason then I'll have to walk you out." Rumi didn't lose her cool.

"Security?" She snorted. "Look, whoever you are please step aside. We were having a lovely talk until you walked in between." Rumi could feel it. Her temper losing it. She took a deep breath and turned towards Seokmin.

"Seokmin-ssi, please go ahead. I'll handle this." She said with slight smile, to reassure the poor guy. He shakily nodded and step forward to leave when suddenly the brat grabbed his hand.

"Dk! Where are you going? You promised to click pictures with me!" The brat angrily snapped at Seokmin, causing him to flinch and cower back.

"M-mwo? I-I didn't." Seokmin said looking at Rumi, his voice shaky and breaking at end. Rumi saw red, her alarms were ringing off. With single flick she slapped the brat's hand off Seokmin's wrist and pulled Seokmin behind her.

"Ma'am, you need to walk away with me." Rumi said her words sharp and commanding. "You can't touch any one as you like. This can be charged as an assault." She warned.

"Assault?" She laughed. "What you did just now can be charged as assault, you bitch!" She screamed raising her arm to hit Rumi across her face. Rumi grabbed her arm defending herself.

"Ma'am, this is my last warning. Please walk with me to security room." She warned letting go of the lady's hand.

"Tsk." She clicked her tongue and cocked her head to side to look at Seokmin. "Is this how you treat your fans? We pay for your tickets. We spend so much on you, and yet we are treated this way. Is this how you return your fan's love by letting them slapped by your staff?" She said inching closer word by word.

"Ma'am do not step forward, or else I'll have to take-"

"WHY ARE YOU NOT SPEAKING? IS THIS HOW YOU TREAT YOUR FANS!?" She screamed and jumped at them as if attacking Seokmin who was shielded behind Rumi. Seeing the violent behaviour, Rumi had no option but to physically stop her. She had rushed directly at them, so Rumi grabbed her and bind her arms behind her back. The lady was on little shorter side so she struggled against her chest. "YOU BITCH! You let go off me!" She screamed struggling. Rumi clenched her teeth from her shrill voice.

"Seokmin-sii, please go ahead. I can handle this." Rumi said over the screaming. Her words had fallen short to his ears as he seemed frozen in his place. "Seokmin-sii? Seokmin-sii?!" Here he had lost it and the lady not being able to free herself from Rumi's grip decided to bite her. "Ah! Madar-" Rumi flipped her around and pressed her against the wall, away from her.

"LET GO OFF ME!!" The lady screamed at top of her lungs still struggling against Rumi. She was nothing more than like a wild animal.

"Stop, this already ma'am. If you don't stop right now. I'll have to arrest you." Rumi warned.

"FUCK OFF!" She screamed. "DK! Dk, help me! She's hurting me. You can't let me get hurt like this! I am your fan Dk. I just wanted a picture. DK!" She started crying. Rumi glanced at Seokmin who seemed like getting worse. He had started shaking.

"Seok-"Rumi was about to call out his name but someone beat her to it.

"Seokmin-ah!" It was Wonwoo. Wonwoo quickly rushed towards them. He was on his way to use washroom and look for Seokmin who had not returned back, not imagining that he would find something like this. Seokmin frozen in his place and two women fighting. Wonwoo called out his brother again but he didn't respond. He quickly stood in front of him. "Who are you?! What do you think you are doing?!" He turned towards Rumi with eyes narrowed down at her.
