"Of course.... but you will tell them soon, right?" I am just not comfortable keeping a secret from the girls.
"Of course, maybe after the album release? I just really don’t want this to distract the girls because we need to focus really hard,” we didn’t immediately go back to the music room because she continued to tell me all her cheesy stories. She was even hitting me in the arm because of too much ‘kilig’.
"Tsss, you don’t even have any reaction at all! You are like a rock you know? Oh well, you do not know the feeling. Once you fall in love, you will know Erina,” because of what she said, I immediately remembered Greek god. I blushed profusely and she seemed to notice my change of expression.
"Wait....you're blushing! Omg don't tell me you already have a boyfriend?” she squealed which I shushed because someone might hear us.
"I don’t! Not…...yet," I shyly said which made her pinched me so hard like a f*cking sadist.
"We need to get to the music room now, you need to spill the tea! Come on!” she pulled me to get out of the comfort room. We bumped into Kesha and the girls. Turned out, the vocal practice was cancelled because of an emergency meeting for the coaches.
"We were advised that we can go home now. Dein and her team will just meet us at the house for the event later," Leina said talking about our makeup artist.
"Can we maybe chill at the common room for a second? This B*tch has some tea to spill,” Raqi said.
Their eyes immediately bulged while looking at me, curiosity was evident in their eyes. We rushed towards the common room while Kesha called her assistant for food. She secretly ordered pizza; we’re not actually allowed to eat junk foods.
We sat closely in the gray couch. It is a good thing that’s no one’s here. It is not lunch or break time, so the employees are in their workstations.
"Spill the tea! Don’t pull a prank on us, come on,” Raqi can’t wait to hear me speak anymore.
"So here it goes…….do you remember when I look so hot after the comfort room scene?”
"I want to object to that, but since I’m thirsty for your story, I’ll just let it go,” Raqi said while leaning at the sofa.
"So, I actually lied. The coat I was wearing was not from a random staff. There’s this guy, I don’t exactly know him, but I think he’s an actor cause he's one of the audiences in front when we were performing," I narrated.
"Omg, so you two flirted in the comfort room?!" Leina exclaimed.
"No! of course not. Well, I kind of hope we flirted…..." I suggestively said which made the girls squeal. They repeatedly hit my arm that I was so sure it would bruise.
I described the guy for them because I really do not know his name. Raqi's searching different actors in google when the food arrived. While eating, she is showing me different pictures in hope to recognize Greek god. After almost an hour, we already finished eating but we still do not know who he is.
"Wait! Why are you all so stupid? Try searching for the actors who attended the show then look at them one by one," Kesha said so we started searching. Pictures of the award shows flooded the screen. While scrolling, a group picture caught my eye. It was a picture of four people, two middle-age man and in the middle was Greek god and the guy sitting beside him.
"That's him! That’s the father of my future children!" I excitedly said while pointing at the screen of Raqi’s iPad Pro. We were all looking at the picture.
"What the f*ck? That is Silas Kim! You do not know him? He is like one of the highest paid actors here. When were you born?” Kesha exclaimed while looking at me with judgment in her eyes.
Raqi immediately search for him and we found his Wikipedia page. He is 21 years old, same age with Kesha. He is famous for being a household name because of various hit telenovelas. Why did I not know him anyway? Well I am not exactly the type who watches tv, I am not into social media too. I’d rather read than do those things.
"How will you return his coat? I bet he's extremely busy right now because according to my research, he has an upcoming musical drama,” Sassy said pointing at a news article stating Silas Kim's latest activities.
"I don’t know, I'll probably just message him in i********:, so you know, I’ll have an excuse to talk to him. I will say hi then he will answer until were close enough to talk every night. He’ll show his concern, and he’ll get mad every time I forget to eat my lunch,” I dreamily said while trying to suppress my ‘kilig’.
"And then he will eventually say he is busy, but the truth is, he already has another girl. In the end, you will cry like a hyena,” Raqi blew my fantasies with her sarcastic tone. What a witch.
We spent our time talking about our celebrity crushes when lunch came. Employees rushed to the common room to find seats and eat; they have packed lunches. We greeted them then after a while, decided to come home.
The driver parks the van outside GreyHouse and we decided to chill in the living room first. The theme of our home is minimalist. Black, white, gray and brown are the dominant colors. The walls and the u-shaped sofa are white while the oval-shaped glass table in the middle is light brown. There is a 50-inch flat screen tv attached to the walls. Wood hanging cabinets around the tv was decorated with unique pieces of art. Artworks, trophies and many things we decided to collect and display.
Sassy and Raqi went inside the bedroom to sleep. Kesha was just scrolling in her phone while Leina is watching Netflix. I resorted to reading another book. It's a book written by my favorite author, Kim Baek Hyeon. I can totally relate to the novel that he is writing because they are about the struggles of hiding behind a mask. The protagonist is exactly me, I am forced to hide my identity, my character and my imperfections. Even my song writing style, I need to hide because it is different from how fans perceive me.
We were chilling out when we heard vehicles approaching. Its already 2 pm and that’s probably Dein and her team already.
We took baths then they started to glam us up. We were all just wearing light makeup and I was the first one to finish so Stacy, our stylist styled my clothes first.
She made me wear a white cardigan tucked in a linen wide pants. White Adidas continental for my shoes and silver necklace for accessories. My hair was in a half ponytail and I also wore black shades to add some style. The girls were also almost done with their outfits while Dein started to retouch my face.
Kesha's wearing a checkered tailored jacket and a white crop top under it. It was partnered with a checkered heart pocket pants and Gucci sneakers. She is also wearing a black leather belt bag.
Sassy is fixing her pink Channel ribbed V-neck shirt while taking a selfie. She is also wearing a black skirt, black stockings and black shoes. She is also sporting a pink Channel body bag.
Raqi, as always, is wearing boyish styled clothes. A green and black over-sized checkered shirt, a white ribbed bra top and baggy jean. She is also wearing a black ankle boots and gray cap.
Leina decided to top her black ribbed bandeau with a jean jacket partnered with an ankle-length skirt and white sneakers.
After minutes of briefing on what to do and what not to do, we rode the van to get to the venue. We immediately reached the jam-packed place. When the guards opened the doors of the van, fans started screaming our names. We were escorted to the mini stage which was set-up in the middle of DeLi.
"Annyeonghaseyo! We are GreyArea and we're here to perform for you today," I greeted the fans. They shouted in return.
"I hope you enjoy this song, and please stay after the performance for us to meet you," Kesha said smiling.
After a couple of introductions, we started performing. We prepared a pop song for them, so we did not have to dance, hence our outfits. The performance ended quickly, and we were escorted down the stage for the meet and greet. After almost two hours of meeting and talking to the fans, we exited the venue.
Its almost 8 pm already and we are all pretty tired, but we still need to go to the company for an important announcement. I tried to sleep in the van and when Sassy woke me up, we were already in the parking lot of the H&H building. We went out of the car and headed straight to the conference room. Everyone is already present, and we were the only one they were waiting for.
"Since we're all here already, I'd like to inform all of you that some actors will be staying with us for three months," Sir Haze, one of the big bosses said.
I was sleepy already so I cannot really understand whatever they’re saying.
"They'll be starring in a musical drama and needs training. I expect you to treat them as if they're really part of our company so we can help them portray their roles…”
I was trying hard to keep my eyes open and to avoid being reprimanded, I bowed my head. I was about to completely sleep when I heard the people’s loud boom of applause. I opened my eyes to see what was happening.
"I know you may have already known them cause they're pretty big in the industry but let me still introduce them, Suzy, IU and of course, Silas Kim."
Shit. Hot.
My whole body was instantly awake while trying to stifle a smile, this is destiny, no one can convince me otherwise. You are mine, Silas Kim.
