The Sip: A Modern Day GNR AU

Chapter 3: The BBQ

(Chapter 1) (Chapter 2)

“Is this the place?” Sandy asked me as we pulled up to the house I was at only this morning. The white exterior paired with the large black garage doors were the spitting image of the ones that I saw earlier today. The nerves of seeing Duff again quickly returned when we pulled into his rather spacious driveway.

“Yup, this was the place,” I replied as she parked next to a car that looked at least three times as expensive as Sandy’s.

“We got in the wrong business. We should have become rockstars,” Sandy’s eyes

“I have never been so nervous getting out of a car before in my life,” I joked back as I gently opened Sandy’s car door paying extra care to not hit the very expensive muscle car that she parked next to.

“God, I feel like such a peasant,” I couldn’t agree more with Sandy as I sent Duff a message that we made it. There was no way I was heading in there without knowing where he was. The place was most likely packed to the brim and the fewer awkward interactions I had, the better.

He quickly responded with instructions to head through the back gate which was thankfully unlocked.

The backyard was lined with trees, shrubs and a large fence for what I assumed were put there for privacy. A large pool sitting in the center filled with only a couple people was calling my name. Despite living in California I couldn’t remember the last time I went swimming.

“Wow this place is beautiful,” Sandy said as we walked through the backyard, and I couldn’t agree more. The grass was the greenest grass I had seen in a long time. To my surprise, the place wasn’t as packed as I expected. When we walked in I immediately saw Duff who was original by the grill chatting with Slash. The butterflies in my stomach swarmed into chaos as he walked over towards Sandy and I. Everything about him looked effortless. His blonde and brown hair looked barely styled, but still somehow managed to frame his face perfectly. He looked so causal as he walked over without a shirt on.

Don’t stare Alanah, don’t stare.

“Hey, glad you guys made it! Hopefully it wasn’t to bad of a drive. Want some beers?” I was about to say no due to the fact I was still hung over, but Sandy immediately interrupted me and said yes.

“Where is the bathroom?” I turned in panic towards Sandy was she spoke. She couldn’t just leave me alone with Duff! What if there is a like awkward silence or I say something stupid?

Once he gave her directions she whispered in my ear, “Go get him tigress.”

What the literal fuck. I love her to death, but what the fuck?

“What type of beer do ya want?”

“The alcoholic type,” the words left my mouth before my brain processed what I was about to say. Jesus Christ, he must think I’m such a weirdo.

I felt relief flow through me as he laughed and shook his head.

“Trust me, the only type of beer we have here is the alcoholic type,” his damn smirk shined again as he opened the cooler.

“Pick your poison,” my eyes darted from beer to beer trying to decide which one I should get. A purple tinted one caught my eye and I reached down to grab it.

“BlackBerry...interesting,” I looked at him and he still had his damn smirk on his face. I felt like he was a psychologist or something, studying me.

“Don’t mock it until you try it,” I shrugged before twisting the cap of and followed Duff to some chaise lounges.

“Feel free to keep your crap here, we have towels if you want to go for a swim. The water is actually heated which is kinda refreshing in the Fall. It’s a bitch in the summer though because you feel like a damn lobster being boiled when one of your band mates decides to leave the heat on overnight and doesn’t tell you,” As he spoke I placed my bag on the lounge and took my shirt off revealing the top piece of my bikini. No one else was swearing a shirt so why should I?

I definitly spent an hour or so digging through my dresser trying to decide which bikini to wear. I wasn’t trying to impress Duff, I just wanted to look good...I wanted to look good when Duff saw me...so maybe I was trying to impress him, but that doesn’t matter. I settled on this cheetah print one thanks to some advice from Sandy on how I shouldn’t look like a total slut in front of him just yet. Plus who doesn’t like a good animal print?

I felt his eyes on me as I took another sip of my beer and now it was my turn to smirk. So the rockstar was a fan of cheetah print? Good to know.

By now I assumed that Sandy had found someone else to occupy her time, probably someone of the male variety, so it was just me and Duff. Fuck.

“So..is this your place?” I asked him before taking another sip of my delicious beer. Who knew that alcohol could taste this good?

“Yup, it was my first big purchase!” I smiled at him as pride shot through his features. I figured this place must have been a huge upgrade from his last place.

“Well it is very very nice and puts Sandy’s and my place to absolute shame,” I made hand gestures in attempt to dramaticise how much nice his place was.

“So what does one do to have a not as nice place to live,” his playful tone caught me off guard.

“Well you saw my Instagram page when you DMed me, so you know the answer to that,” If he was going to play, I was going to tease right back.

“Social media influencer is one of the broadest job titles in the world,” he laughed back making my heart skip a beat. I loved his contagious laugh.

“Hmm and you didn’t look at ANY of my photos or click the link in my bio?” I continued my teasing efforts making sure that a smile stayed on his face.

“Are you asking if I stalked you on social media?” His voice was almost a whisper as he spoke. I could barely hear him above the music that filled his backyard.

“Now that’s not fair I asked you a question first,” I finished my drink placing it down on the ground next to me as I spoke.

He laughed again, and asked another question I assume to avoid answering mine,”what do I do?”

“Okay, there is no way in hell knowing what you do is comparable to you knowing what I do,” I laughed back at him. He definitly stalked me on Instagram. I knew it because he accidentally liked one of my photos from a couple months back. Was he too proud to admit it?

“What would you define as what you do then, just pretend we live in a world without social media,” whenever he spoke, his smile never faltered. I thanked God for the beer that calmed my nerves.

“Well that sounds like a scary world, Rockstar,” I teased back. It would mostly be a scary would because I would be unemployed but that is besides the point.

“Ohh so my name is Rockstar now?”

“Why yes it is Mr Rockstar!”

“Alright YouTuber,” he teased back before finishing off his own beer.

“So you did look,” I smiled as he finally admitted it.

“Prove it!” He challenged back.

“You just did,” I winked before standing up and looking around for somewhere to place my beer.

“Do you remember meeting the guys last night,” he raised an eyebrow at me as I shook my head not. If I was being honest I remembered jack shit from last night.

“Come on then, let’s go meet the guys,” he grabbed my hand and I followed him over to where Steven was chatting up some girl.

“Stevie, this is Alanah from last night,” I couldn’t help but smile as he pulled me in for a hug.

“How could I forget my karaoke partner?” He cheered earning some laughter from Duff. It was clear that he was trying to hide it but horribly failed.

“Karaoke?” Dear god, how much of a fool did I make myself out to be.

“Yeah, is recommend leaving the musical stuff to the professional, and sticking to your day job,” Duff teased back.

“What’s your day job?” The girl next to Stevie asked.

“I don’t know Duff aka Social media stalker, what is my job?” I turned towards Duff unable to hid my smirk. He was going to admit that he stalked me on social media. It was only a question of when.

“Well Duff that’s another thing us band mates got in common,” I turned towards Stevie to glare at him for him ruining my setup to making him admit he stalked me, but I couldn’t. His smile was too contagious.

“Well I hope you’re better at it than him. This newbie here accidentally liked a picture of mine from a few months ago?” I looked back at him to see him laughing and shaking his head.

“If you knew, why did you want me to admit it?”

“I like watching you squirm,” it wasn’t a lie. It was kinda funny to see the big famous badass rockstar squirm.

“You down for shot hill tonight?” Stevie asked before Duff and I were going to leave to probably go meet someone else I had completely forgotten about.

“You know that ain’t a question. We can use the plastic ones in the basement. I actually bought them for this. I don’t want to be cleaning up glass again. Make sure to tell Izzy and Axl. They have to chose which one of them is setting the game up,” Duff replied before we left. What the hell was shot hill. Did they just stack a bunch of shots on a hill and drink them?

“Shot hill?” I quizzed Duff before we met another one of his bandmates.

“It’s a game of shots, just make sure when we play it you’re fully dressed because we will probably be on a team together,” I felt him quickly look me up and down, but before I could make a sarcastic remark back I heard someone yell that dinner was ready. I guess my questions will have to wait.

【ARTICLE】☆ BNTNews Japan Interview Special ‘2 Years Anniversay’ ☆

Q: You were guests on the [Sapporo Snow K-POP Festival 2014] in Sapporo in February. How was the Snow Festival?

Baekho: I have been to the Snow Festival when I was a trainee. Can’t say that it was to the same as that time, but it was close to that scenery.

Minhyun: In my case, I didn’t go (to the Festival) when I was a trainee. Because I just had entered the company. So only Ren, Baekho and JR have been out and they were were proud to overspill. This time I was looking foward to it very much this time, I could watch beautiful scenery, and as I expected, it was really good.

Q: You also held ‘NU’EST Special Event - Talk & Autograph session’ in Tokyo. Are there any places you would like to go in Japan?

Minhyun: Oh there is one.

Aron: Sukiyaki. As usual. Last time we went out together for like 4, 5 times I guess.

Minhyun: All members like to eat something everytime when going out. Then, we make sure to stop by the Tower Records in Shibuya.

Baekho: Every time I go out, I make sure to stop by the Tower Records. And I ate for the first time curry soup, and I think I’m going to eat that everytime from now on.

Q: Please tell me what you always wanted to do, what you haven’t done already in Japan?

Minhyun: I want to go to the Disneyland with the members. We haven’t done that yet.

JR: For me, I want to give an concert in a larger venue, that’s what I want to do the most right now.

Q: Do you aim the Tokyo Dome?

JR: First from a Arena (to another Arena). Gradually aiming the better one little by little.

Baekho: Right. When a dream is too big, it is vague and that it comes true is unlikely.

Q: On MBC’s [Show! Music Core] 400th Episode special feature stage, Ren crossdressed and it became the topic. How did you like it? How were the reactions of the members?

Ren: Well, everybody were surprised. I looked good, so there were reactions like to be unpleasant, and various other. This Crossdressing thing became a more hot topic than I expected. But therefore I was anxious about that image being a girl. I think that’s all’s interesst. Well, I had no feeling of being rejected. And I also have now long hair….it was fun!

Q: So, I will listen to the members now! Be honest, who was the prettiest of the Boy’s day members?

(All answer immediately) REN!

Minhyun: Of course though all the other members were pretty, but for Ren, his body is slim, and his face is pure. I think he was the prettiest.

Q: Minhyun who challenged acting for the first time in [Reckless Family season 3], how was it?

Minhyun: It was difficult. It was definitly harder than my dayly job as a singer. But I wanted to try out acting, and that I got casted was a good opportunity. And I was able to be conforfabe during shooting because it was a sitcom. I think it was a really good experience for me.

Q:To all members, did you watch the broadcast of Minhyun?

Baekho: I watched it.

JR: I teased him.

Minhyun: Really, the members imitated me all the time after watching. It was a bit stressfull for me for a while.

Q: The next question goes to Baekho. Please tell us 3 points of your charm you can think of by yourself.

Baekho: I’m handsome and I’m clever.

Minhyun: More clever than I thought.

Baekho: I’m not only handsome, but also clever.

Minhyun: Then tell me from your career when you was a kid.

Baekho: I was also working as a student president, also I have a tertiary qualification in word processing. (laugh) Also I was first place from the whole school when I was in elementary school.

Minhyun: It is a little contrary to your appearance but you have got such an career (laugh).

Baekho: After that, another thing, I have a good body.

Q: What are you doing to train your body usually?

Baekho: Recently I’m doing cross fit with Minhyun. It’s fun. But it’s quite hard to wake up in the morning.

Minhyun: I don’t have to go for any morning schedule. But it’s fun.

Baekho: Minhyun can’t keep up with me. No, just kidding. (laugh)

Q: JR, are you recently addicted to something?

JR: As hobby I watch Anime. Rather than being addicted, it feels like as it became to my daily routine in my life, because I watch too much. I also collect these plastic figures. It’s not nesseary to buy these, because I get alot send from fans. I display all I have, but now also it’s full. If I get any more I need place to put them, or else some get eliminated.

Q: Aron you have been working for almost a year now as a DJ of a radio show. How is it to work alone and away from the members?

Aron: I’m good, since the fans only concentrates on me (laugh). Anyway, Minhyun appears throughout on friday as guest, and it’s scheduled that Baekho make a guest appearance on monday from now on too. Therefore please expect alot from now on~

Q: Well, today is white day! Are you all the type of guy who can confess to the person you love first?

Baekho: Today is white day?

Minhyun: You didn’t know? I told you alittle while ago.

Aron: I didn’t know too. I got to know it on my radio today, I was like ‘Oh today is white day’.

Ren: I liked a girl in elementary school, and I confessed first.

Baekho: In elementary school? You’re a man. I’d also confess first.

JR: I’d confess first too.

Baekho: Seems to be just something straight.

JR: I’ll confess to her , if she seems to accept me. I confess after she letting her like me.

(Q: is it strategic?)

JR: Being clever is a good thing. (laugh) Won’t you get hurt, if you confess blindly (thoughtless) and getting rejected? That’s why I first let the girl like me and then I confess.

(Q: A Method to be liked?)

JR: Having a handsome face (laugh).

Minhyun: Everybody is full of confidence nowadays. Oh, I think you confess first because you are a man. Also I think you need to make that atmosphere first before you confess.

Aron: Well, I think so too, that if you going to confess first, you prove you are a man. I think that I would also do confess after I made that atmosphere. But it will be also good if the women confessed first. Well, don’t you think that the most matching is a confession from a man?

Q: Because everyone said you would be the one to confess first. How would you confess?

Ren: I think I’d send her a letter. Her parent’s wouldn’t possibly read it or?

Aron: I would first get in contact with her, if I like her. And then say “Would you go on a date with me?” If the date is over I’d confess to her.

Baekho: For me, If I come to like someone there is nothing else needed to be said, besides being together.

Minhyun: Aren’t you shy or something, Baekho?

Baekho: Yeah I may be shy.

JR: Um, to be honest, since I’m shy, I would send her a message.

Aron: Oh my god

Baekho: Why? Even if the message is good…

Minhyun: I’d confess while singing a sweet song.

Baekho: What if you loose your voice?

Minhyun: I’d still look pretty then.

Q: Then, who do you think would be the most gently to the person among the members?

Aron: Ren!

Ren: Did you mean me?

Aron: Oh, I’m not. That’s the answer from Ren. It’s me right, it’s me.

Ren: Well then, each of us should pick a person other than ourselves. Cause I feel like all of us would choose themselves.

Aron: We likely choose ourselves right.

JR: Because I also intended to choose myself. But let’s pick a different person. Aron: Um….if that’s the case, I will pick Minhyun? I dunno, but seems to be very gentle.

Minhyun: I pick Ren. Because Ren is a member who is through of self-magagement, so he will will spend all his time with her.

Ren: But, I think I’m really like that. I really like doing this.

JR: I also choose Ren. Ren seems to be able to enjoy the same hobby as her. I think it’s the communication, like having that feeling that he seems to be able to talk honestly and confidently about something with her?

Baekho: I think Aron hyung gonna be gently with her. I don’t know why but I feel like he will.

Aron: Baekho’s feeling is good. His sense is good.

Ren: I, JR. I have the feeling when watching him, he seems to be gentle.

Baekho: Wait, why didn’t I get choosen by anyone?

Aron: Then I will change to Baekho.

Ren: JR is usually always gentle.

JR: I’m usually gentle to Ren.

Ren: No, I’m sure I can’t be said like that but you seem to be gently to her. Just don’t watch a Anime together with her.

JR: No, I don’t do that~

Ren: You better enjoy a different hobby, as well.

JR: Got it.

Q: If you would be a female, with whom out of the members would you go out with?

Ren: I choose Baekho. There is no particular reason. He is just manly.

Baekho: To be honest, I don’t want to choose anyone of them. Because I know them all too well.

Minhyun: Then let’s assum as we know nothing from each other, and just choose by the face.

Baekho: By face? Then I choose Minhyun. But it still feel like I choose Minhyun.

Minhyun: It’s like having a crush.

Baekho: Might be like this. Minhyun is also tall, and handsome.

JR: To be honest, I…

Minhyun: Why? Are you worried about this?

JR: I don’t want to date anyone of the members if I were a woman.

Minhyun: Assume, that we met for the first time withought knowing our personalities.

JR: None of your faces is my favourite.

Baekho: Then what type of man do you like?

JR: Someone as GD. But I’m not going to choose him.

Ren: So cool~

Minhyun: I, Baekho. Because Baeho loves to eat, I get to eat everytime when going out with Baekho a delicious meal.

JR: Don’t you gain weight then?

Minhyun: I’d be happy with a full stomach, even when I become fat at some time.

Baekho: Through the members are unaware of the fact, that I am good at cooking - If I see the receip I’m able to cook everything.

Minhyun: Such as a lobster?

Baekho: I’m not so good yet.

Aron: For me, Ren. Ren is quite talkactive so being with him is a lot of fun I think. Baekho: It would be fun going out with Ren. Like going together to do our nails.

JR: When watching a drama there isn’t any scene like hanging out together in a beauty salon together.

Baekho: Then let’s go all together~
