SeoJoon's POV221Please respect copyright.PENANAmLYvTeQ6ql
Running my fingers through my hair, I sat on the sofa. We were all exhausted after the successful last day of the concert. After the final greetings, we all left for our homes. While on the ride back home, I saw my mom hugging a girl in front of a restaurant. I couldn’t see her face, as she was standing back facing towards the road, but I can still tell that she was a young girl. Shortly after I reached home, my mom also came home. My mom asked me, “How was your concert?” I replied, “It was good.” Then I told her that I saw her with a girl in front of the restaurant. She didn’t reply to anything, so I didn’t bother about it. Then I went to my room, and after getting freshened up, I slept.221Please respect copyright.PENANA3A9QNdEOYH
Oh, sorry, before I go to sleep, let me introduce myself. I am Mr. Kim Seo Joon, a K-pop idol and the leader of the famous boy band “DTM” (Drop the Mic). There are four other members along with me. Basically, I am a rapper in the group and also write and produce songs. The band “DTM” is under the company “Chords King.”. "DTM" is the only best thing that happened in my life, and all my bandmates are like family members.221Please respect copyright.PENANAEYBmOOnZqn
The next day, when I woke up to the sound of noise, I saw my mom explaining to the maid what work she had to do in her absence. She is going back to her hometown. I hugged her from the back and kept my head on her shoulder.221Please respect copyright.PENANAVhllM6skav
"I am sorry, Mom. You came to spend time with me, but I didn’t get any time.” I said it in a sleepy voice.221Please respect copyright.PENANA4Szud6sGwU
"Awww, my sleepy baby. It’s okay, but don’t be a workaholic and take complete rest.” She kissed my cheek.221Please respect copyright.PENANAH69TcVkxF9
“Why are you going? Don’t go today. I have some time today.” I said.221Please respect copyright.PENANAnZqGZaTX7g
"Oh, is it? Then take a rest during that time. You were continuously working for the last month.” She said.221Please respect copyright.PENANABvIJJ2IFD8
“Is it important to go today?” I asked.221Please respect copyright.PENANA3eQQxrIJLZ
“Yes, your naughty sister is skipping classes too much. And your father is also busy, so he is not able to look after her.” She explained.221Please respect copyright.PENANAtTfcAukN2t
“It’s okay; next time I will come along with your father.” She said this, looking at my upset face.221Please respect copyright.PENANAQNEP7dm1be
Then I went to my room to freshen up and get ready for work. I had breakfast and left for work. I was in a bad mood; I felt like I was not fulfilling the duty of being a good son. I reached the company and saw bandmates. They were laughing at the pictures we took yesterday at the concert. I joined them. After a while, we started getting ready for the recording of the song. I was upset, and perhaps Jin Hyung (Mr. Kim Ye Jin) must have noticed it.221Please respect copyright.PENANAprcdepjlhe
“What happened, SeoJoon?” He came to me and asked. He is the eldest among all of us and also the closest to me, so I told him everything, whatever I was feeling. He patted my shoulder and said, “Don’t be upset. We are all trying our best to make our parents proud. And I am sure Mr. and Mrs. Joon are proud of you. You are working very hard so that they can enjoy their lives happily. So don’t be sad.” He cheered me up and left for his turn to record.221Please respect copyright.PENANAzXLAvLQ4rB
The whole day, we were all busy recording the song; the choreography was a little bit complicated, so it was taking longer than usual to record different scenarios of the song. And the days were going like this: recording songs, choreography practice, press conferences, and fan-sign events.221Please respect copyright.PENANAYEOZXpWlz2
Due to last night's rain, the weather was a bit cold. I was feeling lazy and didn’t feel like getting up, but still, I got up and got ready for work. On my way to the company, when the car stopped in traffic, I saw a beggar crying, probably because of hunger. I was thinking about how to help that beggar, and at the same time, I saw a girl who would be similar to my age come and start talking to that beggar. That girl gave her lunchbox to the beggar and left from there. I tried to see the face of the girl, but couldn’t as the traffic was released.221Please respect copyright.PENANA82LKHDaTwP
Later in the evening, I didn’t go back home and stayed with the company. I was working in my studio; I thought to interact with fans via V-live. When I was talking to them, I remembered the morning incident. I told them how one girl helped a beggar, and I also requested that they help people who are in need. I interacted with them for around an hour. That night I didn’t go back home and was working in the studio till late at night. Then, I slept in the given room of the dorm.221Please respect copyright.PENANA6EkScNJvJv
I was getting ready to visit an art gallery on the weekend. I called other members to join me, but none of them got ready. First, I thought to go by bicycle, but the location was too far, so I called the driver, as I don’t know how to drive. I reached the art gallery. There, I saw many arts, designs, and paintings and clicked on many pictures. After that, I went to the central library in Seoul. The library is too big, and it has many floors. I was looking for a book on the fifth floor. As soon as I got the book, I extended my hand to take it. At the same time, a girl came, and she also extended her hand to get the same book. Our hands touched each other. I looked at her, and she was looking at me. I was wearing a mask, but I still thought she would recognize me because “DTM” has made its mark all over the world and almost everyone knows all the members of the band. But to my surprise, that girl didn’t do anything. She was also wearing a mask, but looking into her eyes, it seemed that she couldn’t recognize me. She removed her hand and apologized to me. I observed that the book we both wanted to have had only one copy at that time. She was about to leave when I said, “You can take this book; I will take another one.” I said it in Korean. She looked at me with confused eyes, as if she didn’t understand what I said. I lifted my brows and was about to say something, but someone called her from behind. She apologized to me and left from there. I took that book and left the library.221Please respect copyright.PENANA6I4V4q1XrA

I was wandering in the streets and admiring the beautiful ancient buildings of Palermo, along with the other members. We came to Italy for a music festival. Although we are famous, there are still some places in the world where we could roam without any guards. We entered the restaurant for lunch. The staff of the company has already booked a private dining room for us. The other members were ordering food.221Please respect copyright.PENANAMmOgJGAzLU
“Let’s order some seafood also. I am craving it.” Jay (Mr. Park Jay) said.221Please respect copyright.PENANAGuqD3hMCEK
"Okay, then, I also want to eat crabs. We are going to eat a lot.” JongSeok (Mr. Jeon JongSeok, the youngest) teased me.221Please respect copyright.PENANAJlNoupJ9qb
“But SeoJoon doesn’t like seafood. And crabs are his friends. So today he will eat his friends.” Yohan Hyung (Mr. Min Yohan) said. And everyone started laughing.221Please respect copyright.PENANAzqj664GE8m
I knew they were teasing me. Moreover, I enjoy their laughter because I am the reason behind it. The order came after some time, and we thoroughly relished it. We were waiting for our car while standing outside the restaurant. While I was on the phone, a girl who was entering the restaurant bumped into me. I apologized to her, and she did too. However, as she was entering the restaurant, I noticed that her bracelet had become entangled with my wristwatch. She stopped for a while. She later apologized to me and attempted to take the bracelet off of my watch. Despite her efforts, nothing materialized. So I pulled my hand away a little bit harshly, which broke her bracelet. She looked at me with shocked eyes. She was wearing a mask, so I couldn’t see her face, but I could see her eyes. Her eyes were wet. I apologized and left; my car had already arrived, and other members were calling me.221Please respect copyright.PENANAy3DTvhg9Ar
“What were you doing with that girl? Do you know her?” Jin Hyung inquired.221Please respect copyright.PENANA9Q8ZIzpCh9
“No, I’m not familiar with her. Simply stranger. Let it be.” I answered.221Please respect copyright.PENANABc8CGyCW8i
“What’s going on? I heard both of you are discussing girls.” Jay chuckled as he said.221Please respect copyright.PENANAHdxiJ2cXNt
“Who is discussing girls? Where are the women?” Like a lost child, JongSeok spoke.221Please respect copyright.PENANAIQQHPXYYLK
“I’m done with both of you. Let’s move on.” I was indignant.221Please respect copyright.PENANAHd76ZCqToU
While on the ride, I was thinking about that girl and her eyes. The eyes seemed familiar to me, but I was not sure where.
