Chapter 166 - Peeping Into Her Idol's Home

Yu Gyeom's rant lasted for a minute before he realized that he had probably said too much and he quickly drove away from the bus stop. Ye Heng sat on the seat timidly as she looked at her knotted hands in her lap. She had been in such a hurry to apologize that she had not even had a chance to ask where he was taking her. And now that he was so angry, she dared not.

Nervously, she peered at the man who was driving and for a moment was entranced by his hands on the wheel. His fingers had numerous rings and the nerves on his hands were all visible and attractive. 

Finding it hard to breathe, Ye Heng looked away again and tried to motivate herself to talk to the man. She needed to ask him that he somehow drop her home. With him around, no one would blame her for harming him, right? But then she thought that all those people wee his crazy fans and they could actually attack him rabidly..

Gyeom looked at the girl who was sitting beside him. She had yet to look up even once and her fingers were continuously fidgeting distracting him a bit. He wondered why he made her so nervous. Was he that scary? Nah.. He thought of how scared he had been when they had made their debut and thought of K who had distracted him so much with nonsense talks that he had forgotten all his nerves. Maybe he should try that.. 

Thinking hard he could not think of anything witty to say, so he decided to instead question her," Miss Ye. Are you a music student?"

Surprised at being asked, she nodded her head and explained," I am actually a journalism student with my specialization in music. I want to write about the language of music that has no barriers as well as the thebtraditional music combined with the modern and contemporary styles that we have today. I am going to tour the world and write about all types of music."

Gyeom smiled as he heard the girl's voice brighten up as she talked about this. She really seemed to have a love for music. And her voice also sounded good.

"Do you play any instrument or do you sing?"

Having forgotten her terror when talking about her favorite subject, Ye Heng nodded and said," Both actually. I play the violin and I can sing. I actually wanted to be an idol but with my weight and looks that was not possible. However I have a scholarship in the National University of Music and Arts. Once I have submitted my thesis and this interview, I will be able to secure a job in the music industry. Even though singing in the restaurant is not bad but it is a part time job after all."

As she thought of this her eyes widened in horror. Had those people discovered her work place also and caused trouble there? No no.. If they had then that manager would have definitely called to fire her or at least vent at her.

Understanding her sudden silence did not take much brain power so he asked,"Do you want to call your work place and ask? I have already told my assistant to clear the people waiting outside your home. If there are people at your workplace who are creating trouble because of me, I'll ask my assistant to clear them away and apologize to them.

Shaking her head, Ye Heng said, " It's alright. I can handle the work. And it is not your fault.. It really is mine. I.. Do you think that your assistant would have cleared the crowd by now? I really don't have any other place to stay so I was hoping that I could go back home. Or if you think it is not convenient to go now, could you please drop me at a bathhouse that is relatively safe?" She didn't want to let on that she was destitute but Ye Heng realized she had no option but to grasp whatever help she could. 

Yu Gyeom heard the words but said nothing. He too had come to this city as a young boy once. His father had been unable to bring him and had simply wished him luck as he had put him on the bus. Those days were still fresh in his mind as he remembered getting lose as he tried to find a place to work and stay.

K had been busking at a restaurant at the time and waiting tables. When he had finally appeared at the restaurant ready to beg for food after two days of starvation, K had not just given him food but also had taken him to his small room. Gyeom had been thirteen fifteen then... The moment he had know that Gyeom could sing, he had signed him up for the band and the training..

Abruptly, Gyeom came back to the present and asked a little roughly,"Which is your favorite song?"

Distracted again, Ye Heng answered enthusiastically," It's actually your band's song. But K's solo! It's called "I Need You." I love singing it when I am down or even doing the household chores."

"Will you sing it for me? I can't really imagine it being sung in a girly voice."

If there was one thing she was confident at then it was singing. Ye Heng cleared her throat and immediately started to sing. The soothing melody that was originally sung in K's voice had a different would to in this voice but the question that had arisen in Gyeom was answered. 

Whisl she sang with closed eyes, Gyeom dialed a number on his phone.

A few minutes later when Ye Heng slowly brought the song to an end, she turned to look at Gyeom expectantly. She did not know if she was looking for praise or criticism or something else but she did know that she wanted some reaction. But Gyeom was driving with a straight face.

Disappointed she was about to turn away when she heard another voice echo in the car,"That was sung superbly! Gyeom are you practicing in a girl's voice?"

Gyeom smiled and looked at the girl who was about to faint after hearing K's voice and said,"I have found you our first trainee. What do you think?"

Unmatched excitement shone in K's voice as he asked,"Where are you? and are you not supposed to be in the hospital? I heard you were hurt. I was actually going to come visit you."

"No need. Just come to my home. And bring a few girl clothes along. Alice's maternity clothes should be suitable."

Ye Heng had already fallen in a trance and she could hardly believe that K had praised her singing! She felt like pinching herself to check if she had somehow fallen from a nightmare into a dream..

But before she could do that the car came to a stop. They were in a basement..

Worried my, she turned to ask Gyeom but he simply interrupted her,"We are int building. You said that you have no place to stay and at present you have no clothes. Also you must be hungry. You can stay here tonight and then K will be here with clothes. Don't worry. He won't come alone. His curiosity is roused but he wont leave Alice alone so they are both going to be here. You will be safe."

Quietly, Ye Heng followed Gyeom with her head down. Even of it wasn't safe, she had an eternal trust in her idol. What mman would help a woman who had caused him to be hospit

alized?" She continued to walk when he stepped into the elevator and bumped into him when he suddenly stopped.

Rubbing her nose, she looked up and apologized but he simply shook her head, caught her by the shoulders, turned her around and then pressed a button on he panel.

On the top floor, he used his finger prints to unlock and then asked her to walk in first.

Curiously she walked into the well lit doorway and looked around. Bshe was actually getting a chance to look around his home.

She is expected to be like a bachelor's pad. All black and white. But as she looked around she realized how much different reality was from what they saw on screen.

Like all fans she believed that she knew her idols and tastes. But she was proven wrong.

The place was full of colors and there were even cozy cushions scattered on the couches. The walls were adorned with pictures and trophies and there was not even a hint of television. Weren't all bachelors supposed to have large televisions at home? Gyeom shook his head at her wide eyed look and gently pushed her towards a couch."You sit here and make your self comfortable.. I will go and order some food."
