....

Baekha followed Soobin to the Music Room which was on the first floor of the school. Most of the students were talking or playing on the field, enjoying the remainder of their lunch break. Soobin was chatting with Baekha as they headed for the Music Room. Baekha was clutching her bag where she had spare clothes to change into.

"It's a special room for Minyoon to practice in," Soobin was saying. "When he became the Top Idol of the country, the school made it for him because they're very proud and he promotes the school everywhere. So, Yoonmin specifically told them to build it in this area because the school gate doesn't extend here…"

She opened the room with the key Yoonmin gave her. Glancing around to make sure there were no teachers, she ushered Baekha in. The latter was curious and entered the room to find a large auditorium with a stage and several musical instruments neatly arranged in a corner.

"Woah!" she gasped.

"Minmin's team sometimes performs here too," Soobin quipped. She walked towards a large cello which was stacked against a wall. Soobin carefully removed the cello while Baekha watched. What seemed like a wall, was actually a wooden block on the wall disguised as a wall. Soobin pressed something on the wall and it slid open to reveal a hole which was big enough for a person to crawl through.

"No one knows about this?" she asked in shock. 

"Nope!" Soobin exclaimed. "Only Yoonmin and Minmin use it! They offered me to use it as well but I refused to use it. I need the attendance."

Baekha was now excited. She grinned a lopsided smile and turned to Soobin.

"Thanks," she said, feeling grateful. "And I'm really sorry about that day. I...I just hate it here. But I shouldn't have been so rude to you."

"It's okay!" Soobin assured her. "But why are you so vindictive towards Minmin?"

"I'll...I'll tell you someday," Baekha said, not wanting to discuss her motives. "It's a long story. But thanks. I'll make it up to you!"

She was surprised that Soobin helped her out after the earlier fiasco. In her insistence to keep people away from her, Baekha misjudged this girl. I'll get her tickets to my concert, she swore . Bidding goodbye to Soobin, she crawled through the hole and ran off towards the road. 

Just as Soobin said, the gates did not extend to that area of the school and the road was nearby as well. Baekha hailed a cab.

"BHK Head Office," she instructed and drove off.

….

"And cut!" the director yelled. Minyoon was at a studio uptown where he was taking part in a 'reality' show which was supposed to show the daily life of an idol. It was a tactic to keep the fans engaged with him but these were nothing more than just a gimmick. The 'reality' show was staged and quite useless. If it was not for Yoonmin's insistence on churning out money from the fans, Minyoon would have bunked school and stayed home to sleep or play his guitar.

Curse my brother, he scowled inwardly. I hope he can't go on dates anymore!

The scene he was shooting for was to show how he played music late at night. The set was made up to look like a training room and he was holding a guitar in his hand, stringing a random tune. 

"Minmin!"

Miyoo came running towards her brother and poked the guitar out of curiosity. 

"No, you can't touch it!" he gently told her. "It can cut your finger!"

Miyoo pouted as he gave the guitar to someone else. She was longingly staring at it but Minyoon picked her up and walked towards the director.

"How long will the shooting go on?" he asked. "My sister gets cranky if she's not fed on time."

"Just a couple hours more," the director said. "There's a special guest who'll make an appearance on today's episode and after that, we're done!"

"Who's this special guest?" Minyoon frowned.

"A new idol," the director shrugged. "His agency suggested that we do this episode with you and him so that we can show off your friendship. Just pretend to be surprised and be friendly with him on-screen."

Minyoon groaned in annoyance. He hated to make fake friendships but in a cutthroat industry, it was needed. Miyoo smuggled his phone out of his front pocket and began to scroll through it to turn on a new music video. A song began to play through it.

"Heart trapped in a cell…"

Miyoo was starry eyed as she stared at Baek's music video. Seeing his sister fangirl over some other idol, slightly annoyed Minyoon.

"You never cheer this hard for me but you'll do it for him?" he scowled. "But he is a good singer…"

"Beaky!" Miyoo exclaimed, hugging the phone like a lover. Minyoon shook his head and took her to his makeup room. Since everyone else was at school or at work, he was babysitting Miyoo for the day. 

He put her down on a couch. Miyoo snuggled against a pillow, still watching Baek's music video for the hundredth time. Minyoon was about to close the door when his tablet lit up. There was a call from abroad and it was some Hollywood music producer who wanted to collaborate.

Minyoon turned on the video call and was talking to the producer while Miyoo was lost in the music video. She was dreamily staring at Baek when she suddenly noticed a figure pass by the room. 

"Ooh!" she gasped and got off the couch before scurrying off behind the person who was walking towards a room at the end of the corridor.

Baekha had just arrived at the studio. She stopped by at BHK to change into her Baek avatar. Making sure that she was unrecognizable, she headed straight towards the room allotted to her. Jango was not clear on what she had to do but he said that she would have to pretend to be friends with someone from the industry on a reality show. 

"A reality show which sells lies," she sighed. "What an irony!"

She sat in front of her dresser and was waiting for her stylist when she felt something poking her arm.

"Huh?" 

She turned around to see a girl of around five or six years old, looking at her with large chocolate colored eyes. The child was wearing a beanie and an Alpaca printed sweatshirt.

"Beaky!" the girl exclaimed. She was holding someone's phone and Baekha recognized her own song playing on it. 

Uh oh…

Baekha backed off a little when the girl came closer. She was not really good with children and kept an arm's distance from them but this one seemed to be a fan. The kid was looking at her expectantly as if Baekha was supposed to say or do something.

"Uh…hi?"

Was that right? She wondered. What do I do with a kid? Whose kid is this?

"Miyoo, Beaky, heart!" Miyoo said. Huh? What was this kid saying?

"Uh...Is your name, Miyoo?" Baekha asked. "Where are your parents?"

Miyoo pointed up. In her mind, she was indicating that her parents are always flying around from one country to another but Baekha misread her gesture.

"They're up there?" she asked. Miyoo nodded.

"Up," she replied. Suddenly, Baekha felt sorry for the child. She was an orphan!

"Oh man...but how did you get in here?"

Miyoo blinked at her. She simply pointed at the door. "Door."

Now Baekha was panicking. A child just walked into a highly dangerous studio! Who the hell was so irresponsible to let a child wander around like this?

"This is not right!" Baekha exclaimed. "You could have been hurt! Or worse! I'm gonna scold the people here…"

A stage assistant was passing by and Baekha barked at her.

"Oi, you! Come in here!"

The assistant jumped in fear and entered the room. Baekha was glaring at her.

"How did a child enter the studio?" she demanded. "This is so careless!"

"This…" the assistant instantly recognized the girl as Minyoon's sister. "This is-"

"I don't want to see any more children wandering around like this!" Baekha scolded her. The assistant was a little slighted by the behavior of the idol who seemed to hate children. Miyoo was just a child but to react like that over her wandering around was completely wrong!

Miyoo, on the other hand, was at ease near her Beaky. She knew that Beaky was simply looking out for her.

"What the hell is going on here?"

All of them looked around to find Minyoon at the door. He was scared when he ended his call and did not find Miyoo in his room. That was when he heard someone shouting about a child and he came rushing.

Baekha was frozen to her spot. To her horror, Miyoo ran up to him and jumped into his arms.

"Minmin bro!" she exclaimed cheerfully. "Beaky!"
