“I heard Big Bang is going to have a radio show two blocks by the shop you work at.” Ryu Izawa said, sipping on her cold drink. “I’m a Hey! Say! 7 fan, but I know how much you love Choi TOP, so you better get a banner ready.”
Min Chei Jyu was smiling her Cheshire grin from ear to ear as she excitingly gripped on coffee. “Are you serious? Like, serious serious?” She left the question unanswered as she squealed, standing up. “What time?”
“In about 2 hours or so—”
And she was gone, Ryu just watched her friend run out of the shop, to stare idiotically at the half-drunk coffee in front of her.
“I should’ve let her pay the coffee before I told her the news.”

“What’s with her?” Choo Jen whispered curiously at the shop’s manager. Chei had asked for a three minute break as she took a seat at the furthest corner of the bakery and laid out her materials; a poster, markers, pictures and stickers.
“Big Bang.” Lei Taeryo responded, as unusual as it sounds Jen muttered comprehensively and returned to her work. Chei was known to be the biggest Big Bang fan in the history of South Korea, or to reduce the hyperbole, she was the prime Choi SeungHyun fan in the society of the human race.
In another minute or so, Chei stood up with a pompous smile on her face, her hand proudly placed on her hips as she looked smugly at her art. “I’m done.”
Taeryo and Jen were behind her with crunched eyebrows. “I love… Choi TOP. He’s my V.I.P.” They said in perfect unison. “What the hell is that supposed to mean?”
“That’s only for me to know.”
“It’s time now.” Jen looked at her watch and smiled. “Go crazy, you monkey.”
Chei bit her lip, putting a grey cap on her head as she folded the poster into her bag. “Thanks, I’ll be back before you know it.”
The door’s bells rang loudly as she exited the shop.
“Big Bang, I love you!”
“Oppa! Taeyang Oppa!”
“I’ll die for Big Bang!”
“Will you stop screaming by my ear, please?” Chei shouted back, pushing through the strong crowds of fan girls. Her gaze flew to the white van that beeped loudly at the swarm of fans.
“It’s TOP! It’s Seunghyun!”
Chei was distracted in getting the poster in her bag to realize the van was beeping in front of her, there was a loud shout and the brunette fell down with blood gushing out of her forehead. At that moment, the driver had called on the guards to bring the girl inside.
All Chei could remember was Jiyong’s face and the angry voice of the driver, and then she fell into a deep slumber.
