A K-pop Idol 71.2

Some days before...

Alex had just woken up when his cell phone rang. Checking the screen, he realized that he didn't know that number, which was strange. Usually, only his bandmates, someone from the record company or Byun Sehun called him since nobody else knew his number. 

"Hello?" he said, answering the phone call.

"Hmm... Hi" Said a male voice, seemingly embarrassed. "I... Well... I'd like to know how to get in touch with Miss Kim Hana or someone who represents her.”

"This is Kim Hana" Alex said. 

"Oh really?" the man exclaimed surprised.

"Yes. And who are you?" 

The person said nothing for a while, and Alex even thought the call had been lost.

"Well... I’m Sergeant Lee Si-won… We met last week on the military base.”

Alex couldn't believe it. He remembered that name very well since that man had made him very angry. 

"How did you get my number?" he asked pissed. 

"Hmm... It was you who wrote your number at the end of the visit."

Alex tried to remember what had happened, and he realized that the guy was right. When they were leaving the military base, another man approached and asked for someone to fill out a form, which was commonplace when civilians went to the military base. Alex did so, and he was so annoyed because of his discussion with Lee Si-won that he wrote his personal number instead of a record label phone number without thinking.

"But anyway" the feminized man said, “why are you calling me? What do you want?"

"I know this will sound very weird, but I'm calling to ask a favor." 

"A favor? After everything you told me, you want me to do you a favor? Really?" 

"Look, Miss, I'm sorry if I offended you..." 

"No! You're not sorry – not for real. And what favor would that be, anyway?"

"This isn’t exactly for me... It's my little sister. She's a big fan of yours and she's sick now… She discovered that you and your group were in our military base, and not only that. She found out that I interacted with you because some guy took a picture while we were walking to the presentation location. Now she's really hurt because I didn't tell this to her, and didn't take the opportunity to find a way to get her to meet you. So... Hmm... I'm sending an address to your phone now. I know you must be very busy, but if you could just show up there sometime… this can be a quick thing, you know... I would… I would be very grateful.”

Alex was in shock. This guy was unbelievable! How could he expect Alex to go to his house? This was outrageous, and Alex told him all this. 

"I know you don't like me, Miss" Lee Si-won said, starting to get angry. “And I don't like you or your group either. As I said, I'm asking this for my sister, a little girl who for some reason that I can’t understand really likes you. She talks about you all the time, and I thought the fans were important to you Idols. But I see that I was wrong. This industry is even more fake than I had imagined. I'll tell my sister to forget it, and I won't bother you anymore. Thank you for your time.”

And saying so, Lee Si-won hung up on Alex. The feminized man was so furious that he almost returned the call to curse the sergeant, but he concluded that this wasn't worth it. The best thing to do was forget that that guy even existed… 

This worked for some time, but after a few days it all came back to haunt Alex. He desperately wanted to prove to Lee Si-won that he was wrong about everything he believed, but how? And then, Kim Hana had a crazy idea. She would go to the sergeant's house, and would treat his sister very, very well. This would certainly make the guy extremely ashamed because of his behavior and prejudgment, which would be very pleasurable for Kim Hana. In addition, his sister would start talking even more about her idol, which would certainly upset Lee Si-won. 

Alex didn’t know why this was so important to him now, but he knew he wouldn't be at peace until he did so…
