Han Jisung p.o.v.

«So do you like my butt now?» I ask him the following afternoon, sipping my americano.

We slept until late in the morning to recover from the concert, but we have to meet some more times at the agency before the departure. So here we are, in front of that elevator again.

«Who told you I didn't like it before?» Lee Know winks at me and I burst out laughing.

Yesterday after the concert he kept staring at my butt and I covered myself, calling him a pervert. It had been kind of... funny.

He looks at me and smiles: «Can I slap you?»

What? Is he serious? He is asking this like it's nothing!

«No way!!» I answer, disgusted.

How the hell could he be so direct?

He laughs and exits the elevator, heading towards the meeting room, while I stay few moments in the elevator, completely puzzled. 

«Can I slap you, jagi?»

We are in front of the Skz Talker cameras and here he's again with that 'Jagi' thing. Not to mention that he keeps asking me this absurd question.

«Behave, Minho» I answer, fixing my belt.

He is asking me that thing every day. And he is been refused every day.

He sure is not the type to give up, I have to admit it.

Anyway I'm getting used to his strangeness, so I don't get flustered anymore.

Lee Know is looking at me with pleading eyes. Omg, how melodramatic he is!

«Oh come on, let he do it!» Changbin blurs out, sitting on the sofa, «So he will stop asking!» he explains, laughing.

We are all together, waiting in the rehearsal room for a Vlive to start. This will be the last time we go to the agency: the concerts in Seoul are over and tomorrow we are going to leave for Tokyo. 

«Thank you, Changbin» Lee Know laughs back.

I watch them two, wearing a betrayed expression: «I thought you were my friend, Binnie!»

The rapper laughs again, imitated by Jeongin who is enjoying the scene. For once, he's not the hyung's prey.

«Jaaaagi, can I kindly slap your cute butt?» Lee Know asks again.

I try to ignore the word 'cute' referred to my butt and I roll my eyes.

«OMG, okay! If you stop asking that!» I finally accept, huffing loudly.

Lee Know smirks and istantly takes me from my hips. My breath stops because of his rude touch. He turns me to face my back and... Hell, why am I thinking that's hot?

My heart skips a bit, my cheeks turn red. I feel vulnerable in that position, waiting for him to touch my booty. Like he... Like he could do everything to me.

«C-Come on, do it quickly» I snap, annoyed by my own thoughts.

Why the hell do I find this sexy?

He slams both his hands on my buttocks, making a loud noise.

«Ya!» I snort, massaging my butt, «You said kindly!» 

Changbin is laughing so much, while Lee Know winks at me:

«That was kindly, jagi»

I blush again. What the hell he means by that?

«Come on guys, the live starts now» Chan calls us back.

I take a seat between Changbin and Felix, well away from Minho. I still feel my buttocks burning from the slap.

Please, my heart can't hold that cat-like boy anymore.

We are about to get off the cars to cross the airport and take our flight. This is a moment of extreme tension for us, especially for me. Some fans don't understand what personal space is and I feel suffocated in the midst of all this crowd, with just few bodyguards around.

We make our appearance and, as always, a group of journalists lights us up with their flashes. Obviously STAYs are curious about how we dressed up this morning. 

I perceive Lee Know coming beside me, he moves closer to my face.

I turn to him and I try to understand what he wants by observing his eyes, but he doesn't say anything and the black mask prevents me from seeing his expression. Not that I usually understand it, anyway.

Chan leads the way, leading us like a true leader to our gate. Seungmin and the manager are next to him. Felix and I follow them, with Jeongin and Hyunjin behind us, while Changbin and Lee Know close the line.

I keep my eyes down, the hat pulled down on my forehead. The music in my ears tries to distract me from the crowd noises. I absentmindedly wave to the fans, because I know I'd look rude otherwise, but a strange movement makes Felix push against me and I fall to the floor, hitting my elbow.

A few shouts from the crowd summon Seungmin that pulls Chan by one sleeve. They immediately come back to reach us. 

I feel two arms lifting me up, maybe it's Changbin.

«What happened?»

The noises and voices seem distant, the sounds are muffled.

«Are you hurt, Han?»

I can't answer. It's getting harder for me to breath.

Not here, please not here. I don't want everyone to see me like this, I don't want to look so weak.

I look around and see Changbin holding me on one side, Seungmin on the other and they quickly take me out of that mess.

Where is Lee Know?

I try to turn around to see if he's behind me, but some reporters stop us by asking how I'm doing. I can't answer yet but I hear the manager say: «He's fine, but these things don't have to happen.»

I nod and mumble an «I'm fine.» and finally they can take me away from the crowd.

We quickly board the plane and take our seats. However, no member intends to leave me alone. Changbin sits next to me, Chan and Lee Know to my right. Felix is kneeling in front of me and he asks me how I am. Everyone looks at me with apprehensive looks.

But I still can't speak, I can hardly breathe.

«The butterfly position» Changbin tells me, taking softly my hands and putting them on my own shoulders. 

«It's okay, Hanie, we are all okay now.» he repeats with a calming voice.

Gradually I breathe again and I see the members relax as my face regains color.

«I'm okay guy...» I manage to say. «It doesn't hurt anymore.» I lie.

Changbin hugs me, while Seungmin pats my head from behind.

Chan takes his seat next to me, his face is full of anger. He's furious.

«Chan-hyung, I'm fine» I try to calm him.

«No, you were not.» he snaps.

I know he will scold everybody when we'll arrive. He will pass hours to the phone explaining why they have to increase the number of bodyguards.

I'm so sorry to cause troubles...

Changbin strokes my shoulders and, as if he could read my mind, he says: «You didn't do anything wrong, Hanie. It could happen to any of us and it's not good. Chan is right.»

I nod and in a few minutes, exhausted, I fall asleep, even before the take-off.

An hour later I wake up feeling much better. The elbow is still sore, but I don't think it's a concern.

I unknowingly turn to Lee Know. He has the hood pulled over his head and his eyes are hid on the phone screen. He holds an hand tightly around the armrest of the seat.

He's afraid of heights, he told me.

But it seems to me that he is doing quite well and there is Chan by his side, so I should not be that worried.

I put on my headphones and let myself be enveloped by the music, trying to forget what happened and hoping that upon arrival the welcome won't be so... warm.

But one thing doesn't get out of my mind: why did I keep looking for Lee Know? Was I afraid he was in danger?
