Aishiteru, Takah!

Chapter 18's

We were already saying goodbye to going home when some girls in extraordinarily fashionable clothes screeched at Taka. I can recognize them as the idols of a rising girl group.

"Are you Taka, vocalist of O'Clock? I'm Mina, nice to meet you," said one of them.

Friendly, Taka answered all the questions addressed to him. The girl group idol had apparently come to this radio station for her next broadcast. From what I saw, they all looked at Taka with amazed eyes and some asked for permission to take pictures with him. Shinoda occasionally glanced at me and smiled as if calming.

I narrowed my eyes looking at Taka who looked wrong. The idols took pictures one by one with a pose that was quite close to my husband. Some embrace the arm and the rest form a symbol of the heart together with it. When I could barely contain my emotions, someone patted me from behind.

"Hello, it seems that accidentally, you brought my fan," said the announcer.

With a jerk, I looked towards my hand which was still holding the fan in question. "I'm sorry, I forgot to give this back to you."

"It's okay" he said laughing. "It's just a gift from my fans. I'd feel guilty if I lost it."

I nodded in understanding and handed the fan over.

"Come with me. Below is a nice coffee from a vending machine. I'll treat you."

After weighing a few moments, I decided to accept the invitation from the radio broadcaster rather than have to stand here and see Taka who was still having friendly conversations with the female group idols.

Looking at me who was starting to walk, Taka looked at me with a sharp gaze again. However, I don't care. She can continue being friendly with the idols of the girl group and I will enjoy a good coffee.

As I passed through it, I purposely stepped on my husband's foot as an impingement of resentment. Right in front of the descending stairs, I turned my head and saw a confused Shinoda looking at me and Taka taking turns.

"Rinai-san," call Shinoda. "I'm sorry for putting you in a difficult position. It must not be easy to carry all the things in that trunk alone."

I shook my head slowly, "It doesn't matter Shinoda-san. I enjoyed my role as a personal assistant when someone enjoyed playing a famous singer and talking to girls."

The car we were riding in entered the famous Gangnam area. Right in front of a building, Shinoda said goodbye because of some other business and told me and Taka to have some fun before returning to the hotel.

"Don't be angry, from the beginning I've told—."

"—Telling me the risk of being the wife of a famous singer," I cut Taka's words.

"Yes," he answered.

"I don't care, it's just that my emotions are so easy to ride if you see you're close to the idols of a beautiful group."

"You jealous?" tanyakanya.

"Yes! There is no way a wife is not jealous. It's just, I need to get used to it and put myself in. Oh yeah, by the way, sorry for stepping on you."

"No problem, Rinai-chan," she answered holding my hand. "But next time, don't go with anyone if I don't let you."

I nodded slowly and Taka rubbed my head gently.

Before returning to the hotel, Taka and I stopped by the Bongeunsa Temple, also located in Gangnam, right next to the COEX Building. Bongeunsa Temple is a Buddhist temple founded by the Silla Dynasty in 794 AD and originally named Gyeongseong temple. Inside the temple there are about 3,479 Buddha statues that stand in 13 different styles. Every September 9th of every year, a ceremony is held, where the Monk will place all the statues on their heads and the statue will be paraded around the temple.

In addition to being a tourist spot, this temple is also often used as a filming place for Korean dramas. One of them is a Korean drama called Faith starring Lee Min-ho and Kim Hee-sun.

It was almost midnight when we reached the Itaewon area for dinner. The distance from Gangnam to Itaewon is about 5 kilometers. In Itaewon, there are many restaurants that provide halal food. Even I caught a glimpse if there was a restaurant that sells Indonesian specialties. In addition, there are also restaurants from the middle east and India. After a long period of deciding, our choice fell on a restaurant that serves spicy beef soup as the main menu.
