Chapter 17 - Finally at Peace ☆

Choi Seung-Hyun was appalled by what just happened. The exchange between her and the other two idols were normal. What he was confused about was, she had left him in the hall and walked into the karaoke room with both Amber and Jackson. They walked in laughing like she didn't just argue with him. He was happy to know those clothes belonged to a relative. He was confused by what she meant that she trusted him enough. She doesn't know me. He stood in the hall and sighed loudly. I'm not jealous. He stubbornly thought kicking the carpet beneath his sneakers.

"Choi Seung-Hyun." Jang Mi smiled as she saw him.

"Hmm?" He looked up with his hands deep in his pockets.

"Let's go." She hooked her arm with his and took him to the karaoke room where everyone was laughing.

Kang Daesung and Dong Young Bae were singing and dancing to a girl song. They did it so effortlessly, Jang Mi couldn't laugh. Instead she applaud them for being able to do it. She was happy to see Jackson and Amber since she hasn't seen them for a few months. Amber was busy with her solo debut and Jackson was busy with his group's comeback. See Jackson is from Hong Kong and he is very headstrong. He was kind and liked people. He is a vitamin. Amber is understanding of any situation. She's loved by anyone she meets. This was the only reason they were friends with Jang Mi. Because they were both kind. Amber and Jackson both have other friends who are much more closer with them than Jang Mi was. It was mostly because, Jang Mi couldn't let them in to her steel like walls that protected her.

"Your brother, what does he do?" Choi Seung-Hyun said as he sat next to a clapping Jang Mi.

Jang Mi leaned in to him because the music was too loud. "He's a welterweight." Jang Mi replies.

"Welterweight? Like in fighting?"

"Yup, UFC." She simply added.

Choi Seung-Hyun suddenly had a thought. "Is that why you said you're able to fight?"

Jang Mi felt uncomfortable with the questioning he was doing. "I'm not telling you these things because I'm uncomfortable with you knowing them. But you're obviously misunderstanding everything I do." Jang Mi ran a hand through her hair nervously. "My mom was the one who insured that my brother and I take up these private lessons in fighting. My brother was the one who took up a career with it." She soon added on.

Choi Seung-Hyun nodded. He didn't want to push her any further. He was happy she actually showed bits and pieces of her family. She never once mentioned a thing about her dad, so Choi Seung-Hyun automatically thought he was the reason why she hated speaking about her family. It was a weird thing for him to hear since most people don't have family problems so big that they just don't talk about it. But Choi Seung-Hyun was content for some reason. He wasn't going to question it.
Choi Seung-Hyun watched Jang Mi and Jackson dance while Amber Liu sang along to one of her songs. She danced her moves perfectly making the other members of Big Bang clap. They were surprised by how talented she was at dancing. But they finally believed her when she danced to Ringa Linga by Taeyang. She danced along side him while he sang. Dong Young Bae was impressed by her as well.
Suddenly, the karaoke room opened revealing Sandara and Park Bom who were two hours late. They both were members of 2ne1. Jang Mi smiled so brightly watching them come in like some famous people she never met. Choi Seung-Hyun raised an eyebrow as he watched her. She was bubbling up with excitement to meet half of 2ne1. Even if it were just two out of the four. And as they walked in, they greeted the other members of Big Bang and then came to notice Jackson and Amber. Park Bom and Dara were their seniors so Amber and Jackson respectfully bowed to them and greeted them with a hand shake and a bow. When they finally fell upon Bae Jang Mi who in return gave a deep bow greeting them politely. They were kind enough to congratulate her on her first lead role.

"Park Bom Noona!" Seungri called to Bom. He patted the seat next to him.

Dara sat next to Kwon Ji Yong talking about nothing in particular. Jang Mi had to keep up the front of her and Choi Seung-Hyun dating, so she sat next to him while Jackson sang a song. At this moment, Choi Seung-Hyun noticed what Jang Mi wore. She was more covered up than she usually was when she was in the comfort of her own home. However, she never covered those collarbone of hers. She wore a creamy white off the shoulder knitted sweater. Her legs were covered with long blue skinny jeans and her hair fell in long barreled curls. He was staring at her. He hasn't really taken much upon her looks. He just knew she was pretty. But upclose, he could now see beauty marks on her milky skin. She had one on her chin just below the left corner of her mouth. He took note on the way she smiled as it made her dimple show up everytime she did so. Her eyes were soft and kind. They were so close to each other, Choi Seung-Hyun could smell her. She smelled like vanilla extract. He wasn't sure if that's the smell she was going for, but she smelt exactly like that.

"Choi Seung-Hyun, are you tired?" Jang Mi asked.

"No." He smiled sheepishly.

"I have a music video to film tomorrow."

"Do you want to leave?" Choi Seung-Hyun checked the time. "It's one in the morning?" He sighed. "Let's go." (It's normal for people in Korea to be awake at such late hours. Koreans work hard and play harder)

Choi Seung-Hyun was so deep in his thoughts he hadn't notice that Amber and Jackson had already left due to their busy schedules the next day. The other members of Big Bang were still drinking and singing. Park Bom and Dara were in their own corner laughing and talking about whatever they talked about. At the moment all Jang Mi was thinking about was sleep. She needed to sleep. Choi Seung-Hyun took her hand into his own big one and made her stand up with him.

"Everyone, we're going to be leaving. Jang Mi has a shoot tomorrow." Choi Seung-Hyun waved.

Dara and Bom stood up. "Call me eonni, okay?" Bom smiled at her. (Eonni is a term used between females when addressing an older female who is close. Also used between sisters)

"Yeah, we'll treat you to a meal one day alright?" Dara smiled as both her and Bom hugged Jang Mi.

"Thank you so much!" She bowed towards them. "Big Bang! Nice to meet you!" She bowed to them.

"Jang Mi-ah we should get together like this again." Dong Young Bae smiled.

She waved to everyone and left alongside Choi Seung-Hyun who still held her hands. She liked his warmth on the cold October days, so she didn't bother taking her hand away from his. And that was how meeting Big Bang went for Bae Jang Mi. She spent most of her time with Choi Seung-Hyun talking. Surprisingly he was much more at peace after knowing a little about her. Jang Mi too, felt at peace. She was just worried how long it would last.
