Jaydee's POV
"Hey, Jaydee. Wake up!" I heard our leader Jayem's voice, while he was constantly shaking me. I am still sleepy and I can't even open my eyes.
"Aweeeeeey?" I murmured in a high note saying my favorite whining expression.
"You're on TV bro!" He said. I can feel his weight from my back. I turned to him with my eyes slightly opened. "And what's new about it? As if it is our first time to be on TV," I said to him lazily. Like, man! We are Peter Pan a famous boy group in the Philippines and in international what's new on being on TV? I covered my face with a blanket and tried to go back to sleep. But he never stopped. Argh! He is so annoying. "What I mean is, you are on the news. And it's a scandal," He said while still leaning on my back as if I was a lifeless pillow. I was surprised with what he said and immediately opened my eyes and got fully awake.
"What scandal are you saying?" I asked.
Instead of answering me, he fired back with a question.
"What did you do last night huh?"
What did I do? I don't know either, all I remember was…
"We were all together at the bar," I said.
"Then you disappeared," Jayem added. He was crossing his arms right now as if he was interrogating me. "I went to the wash room," I continued.
"Then?" He said again raising his brows. Oh, come on...don't tell me you believe them.
"I saw a friend of mine, then he talked to me for awhile," I explained.
"Who was that friend?"
"Then what happened?" He asked consecutively.
I got fed up with his questions so I asked him straight. "What was the scandal all about anyway?" Finally, he thought the idea of turning on the TV.
The headline was, I was accused with a rape.
Huh?
"How come this happened?" I asked. It's unbelievable, they even have a picture of me right on top of a woman without my upper shirt. This is disgusting, I think I am being set up.
"I swear. I can't remember that it happened, I swear big bro," I said to Jayem.
"Even if I'm drunk I won't do it. You know me well," I added.
"I know. You were set up," He answered feeling dismayed and worried. I felt relieved that Jayem believes in me. But face palm, what am I going to do with this mess?
Suddenly, Sean, the youngest among our members came inside running.
"Bro please don't open your SNS," he said. I looked at him with my small eyes and told him. "I have no SNS." He buffered for a moment before he realized, "Ahhh…good."
Afterwards, the other members Kyle, Loey, Dio, Blake and Minx came running.
"There are Police outside looking for Jaydee," Kyle said, while he is on panic.
Everybody in the room looked so worried about me.
"Guys, it's okay. I will face them, why will I hide? I am not guilty of this," I said trying to ease their anxious minds.
"Right." They all agreed. I went outside and they all followed me.
I talked to the police who were waiting outside. As soon as I meet them, I immediately introduced myself though I know that they know me already because of the popularity of our group. "I'm Jaydee Corpuz, what can I do for you?" I said while genuinely smiling to them.
"We would like to invite you to the police station for a preliminary investigation, you are accused of raping a woman Mr. Corpuz," the Police explained.
I nod to and obeyed them willfully. We are now travelling to the police station. Still, I have no idea of what's going on. Why am I in this situation, I was just sleeping sound then suddenly woken up by this kind of news.
Now we finally arrived.
I finally get to meet the woman who was accusing me. She is quite familiar.
Trying to recall, and luckily, I immediately remembered her. "You were the woman who was introduced by Primo."
Primo was my former classmate in Highschool. As far as I remember, we bumped into each other right after I went out from the wash room. He invited me to be in their private table on KTV and she was there, introduced by Primo as his cousin.
"How could you say that I raped you?" I asked calmly. Instead of answering me, she lowered her head and started to cry.
"Hey, please stop this. You know I didn't rape you. Please," I pleaded. This time my voice was a bit pissed off because I think she is acting up in front all of them as if she is seeking for empathy.
"You stop harassing my client!" Said the voice from elsewhere.
We all looked at the entrance of the station checking the owner of the voice.
It was a woman; a pretty woman I must say. She looks like an Angel that came from above, her hair was golden brown and wavy. Her face seems like no pores at all. Her nose was pointed and her lips were so small, I just can take my eyes off her. She was walking towards us like she was a ramp model.
"Hello Mr. Jaydee Corpuz," she greeted while smiling sarcastically.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"I am Atty. Angel Imperial. Your biggest nightmare," She said.
"Excuse me?" I said with an angry snap.
She stared back raising her brows as if she was boasting.
"I'll make sure you will rot in jail!"
"I'm sorry but we have a misunderstanding here. I did not rape her, okay?" I explained.
"I've heard that kind of alibi many times Mr. Corpuz, better save your saliva for the prosecution," She said while giving me a talk to the hand gesture.
"See you at the court!" She ended.
I am now regretting that I appreciated her looks, she is a total mess inside.
