It was a long trip back to the house. When we reach home, the guys were immediately pushed aside by their manager to discuss about the event later in the evening. Me and Qiu went up to our individual rooms to bathe, and later met downstairs for a cup of tea. I'm not sure about Qiu but I was really tired after all that running. I kept nodding off in the kitchen until the guys came back into the kitchen.
"Hey..." Ady said.
"You tired?" He asked.
"Ya.." I replied.
"Very.. In fact.." I added.
"You ok or not?" Qiu said as she brought over a cup of coffee for me.
"Ya.. Sure.." I said as I took a sip.
"Ok..." She said as she walked over back to the counter to do her stuff.
Soon all of us were chatting about today's events and laughed over alot of stuff.
"It's time to set off..." Energy's Manager came over to call us.
"Let's go!" Qiuru said excitedly as the whole bunch of us went down the front porch and into the bus.
In the bus, all were so hyper and were still chit-chatting at the back As I need a quick nap, I went 2 seats down the aisle and sat down. Soon, I drifted to sleep. I didn't know what had happened then, but when I woke up, I realised I was sleeping on Ady's shoulder.
"Wake up," He said gently,
"We almost reached." He added.
"Huh?" I woke up, and Ady was sitting beside me.
"Oh, ok.." I quickly combed my hair and straighten my clothes. Then I realised, the other guys were also asleep and Kunda was sleeping on Qiu's shoulder.
The bus pulled over behind the auditorium where hundreds of fans rushed up the bus and bang on the windows. Although the curtains were down, they still can catch a glimpse of the people in the bus. We were rushed out of the bus one by one with the both of us in between the guys..(meaning.. Shuwei out already, me, Ady, Qiu, Kunda, then Niunai). The bodyguards just grab us around and pushed through the crowds. Now the whole world will know about us, I think. The people around us were screaming and I could feel I could faint anytime. Cameras were flashing, people were screaming.. That really got into my head. Anyway, when I reached the backstage door, I could feel my legs wobbling, luckily, Ady came from behind and caught me.
"Are you ok?" He helped me into the backstage and pulled me aside.
"Ya... I guess." I said.
"It must be her sickness again.." Qiu said as she entered from behind and came over. Then all the guys came over.
"Are you ok?" Kunda asked. I nodded.
"She's crowd-phobic." Qiu said simply.
"Oh..." Shuwei said.
"She'll be alright after awhile. I'll stay with her. You guys go ahead and prepare." She said. I sat there for a few minutes and the crew showed us to our seats. After we settled in, the whole first row of seats were condoned off. Talk about big shot.
Then our friends called us. Apparently, we both totally forgot about them as we ourselves were so busy for the past week. We both decided to bring them back to our house for dinner. Qiu helped me arranged with them and went outside to meet up with them to tell them the ground rules. While I could hear the noise that the fans made outside, I still could get a shut eye. Then;
"Hey.." Ady said. I opened my eyes.
"You alright now?" He asked.
"Yes, thanks; Ady." I said simply.
"I would preferred you call me korh." He said. I smiled.
"ADY!!" I heard Niunai shout from the side.
"Go on.." I urge,
"And give me a good birthday present.." I said.
"Today's your birthday?" He asked. Shuwei was still at the side waiting.
"Tomorrow." I replied as he stood up. He smiled, gave me a kiss on my forehead and ran to Niunai.
Then, Qiu came in.
"I saw that..." She said, giving me that evil-cum-cunning-guy look.
"Cut out.." I replied as I heard people coming in.
"So everything's arranged?" I asked.
"Yes." She replied.
"They will be meeting us at the gate, cause the guys' manager don't want those people in the bus.." She replied.
"Oh.. ok.." I replied. The auditorium started to fill. Some people were trying to cross the border but was stopped by the ushers. While we were joking and laughing, we heard someone said:
“Both of them take up the whole row, think what? Big shot meh?!”, Qiu heard it, and like her usual self, turned around and said;
"So what if we are? And what can you do about it?" She exclaimed. The girl immediately realised it was a mistake when her partner told her; ‘they were the reason we have this concert..' and she totally shut up. Well, shit happens. What to do? Anyway, soon the Auditorium was filled totally and no more place for people even to walk. That was the time when the event chairman came up to us to ask if we could free the sides' first row. I nodded, and replied;
"Please leave the first centre row to us and nobody is to sit on the floor in front of the first rows, or we cannot leave later." The guy agreed and the side rows were freed. People just rushed for the side seats and there was a little chaos.
Soon the lights dim and the show started.
It start with Come On and then a slow number and on and on.. Till at a moment we got a surprise of our entire life.
"So do you guys have any love life?" The host asked.
"ER....NO lah..." All of them answered the same thing.
"You sure?" The host asked.
"Ya... but we do have someone we want to hold on to.." Ady said, as all of them focused their sight at us. The rest of the guys nodded.
"Woah..." The host replied.
"So what do you want to say to her?" He asked.
"We want to sing them this song ‘Chuan Yue Yi Guang Nian’..." Ady replied and the music played. During that one and a half hour session, we had songs and games; and finally, their manager came to our seats to usher us to the backstage to leave. We were ushered back to the bus where loads of fans were waiting outside the backstage door. When we were out; there wasn't much of a fanfare of screaming and camera flashes..(all are still eager waiting), we walked towards the bus and some were surprised we board the bus.
Then the guys came flying out the door and the whole screaming and camera flash thing started. The guys were surrounded by those body guards and were rushed up the bus.
"Phew!" Niunai said as he boarded the bus.
"At last, finished!!" Shu Wei said. They waved to the fans as the bus started to pull away.
This time Ady came to sit beside me and Kunda beside Qiu. We were all so awake and we chat all the way back to the house.
