Chapter 102 - Dammit!

“Shameless!” Heeang scowled and began typing up the brazen act the couple was partaking in on television. As he was doing so, Mikey quickly wiped his mouth and grabbed his own phone to send a text to the point person of the plan, Jenell.

“Problem. They kissed on television. Tongue and all,” he sent.

Mikey didn’t have to wait long until there was a reply.

“NOOOOO! God dammit!” a long pause, “We’re going to move you and Heeang up. See if you guys can duet with them earlier.”

“Got it. Will let you know soon.”

Jenell groaned and rubbed her temple as the news came to her. She felt tired and her brain hurts, but she volunteered herself to manage the plan. She’ll have to reach out to the others to let them know of the change. She hoped everyone agreed with it. Making the notes on her phone, she saw the cup of coffee sitting before her. A leaf foam sat on top of the drink and she found her lips stretching.

“Jenell,” Kaiden smiled, “You are working hard. Do you need me to help you with anything?”

“Thanks for the coffee,” she grabbed his hand and leaned against the raven haired male’s shoulder, “Massage would be nice.”

“…”

“I’m only kidding,” she laughed and drank the coffee, “Mm, you make good coffee.”

“It’s packet coffee,” Kaiden laughed and pulled away to stand. The blue eyes princess sighed and looked down at her phone to start typing again.

However, she soon felt fingers on her shoulder before they began massaging. She lit up in glee and relaxed herself into the wonderful way Kaiden’s fingers were pinching and pressuring her muscles into pudding.

“Oh~ Kaiden, mmm yes,” Jenell sighed and moaned.

Enjoying herself, she didn’t realize Kola and Star were filming her and giggling, but the fun slowly changed. They stared at one another with flushed cheeks. Kola quickly went over to push lightly on Jenell’s forehead, waking the princess up.

“Hm?” Blue eyes blinked slowly as if just waking up.

“Stop with all your moaning,” Kola reprimanded, “Getting very inappropriate. We have a baby here!”

“Wait… What?!” Jenell’s face reddened as she sat up.

“Continue this and I expect you with child,” Kola grinned and rushed back to Star when Jenell was trying to smack her away. Kaiden cleared his throat with reddened ears and glanced over at Taemeng who was smirking at him.

“Shut up!” Jenell pointed at them before looking shyly at the raven haired male, “Nevermind that. I asked Mikey to duet with Shun and the slut sooner than we planned.”

“Must you call her that,” Star sighed as they huddled closer.

“Of course!” The blue eyed female pouted, “They were just on Kandy Variety Show and…” she narrowed her eyes and frowned, “They made out on television.”

“…”

“…”

“Shit.”

While the crew was reorganizing the plan, Manager Yaotzu and Manager Bon were on the outskirts overlooking the beach. They were waiting for their guest; someone they had reached out to for help. Smoking his cigar, the man with sunglasses leaned against his car looking out into the ocean. This was nice. A personal beach for the highly rich meant less people around to see them.

“Ah Gong,” Manager Bon spoke through her Bluetooth earphones as she made notes on her phone, “Oh, you got it that quickly? Mm… Fantastic! Great work. You know the plan and… hold on, Lisa is calling. Call you back later,” the female clicked on the other call line.

“Lisa? How is it with Suu Jin?”

“Manager Bon, we are heading to the cementary. Had the reporter arrived yet?”

“Still waiting. She is…” she looked at her watch and sighed, “10 minutes late.”

“Well… Jenell just told me she asked Mikey and Heeang to duet with Shun earlier,” Lisa informed.

“Eh? Why?” She questioned and looked over to the car pulling up.

“They… made out on the show…”

“…”

“…”

“Dammit! Alright, alright,” The female manager rubbed her forehead, “We’ll work with that. Looks like she arrived. Keep me posted.”

“Will do. Good luck.”

She hung up the phone and looked over at Manager Yaotzu who was staring at the reporter leaving her car.

“Mikey and Heeang’s part is moved up. Shun and Gina finally kissed on tv,” she informed quickly, and the man stubbed out his cigar angrily.

“Fucking kids.”

Yaotzu grimace and watched annoying reporter, one who had started so many flames, walked up to them with confident strides. He crossed his arms and rubbed his face. He would have reached out to his good friend reporter like before, but he knew his friend would question too much.

All they needed was someone to keep eyes on the so called couple, point out flaws. Heeang was doing so through social media, but he was just an account, not a named person, so they called this reporter.

She was notorious for pointing things out whether it was right or not.

“Ms. Allie,” Manager Bon smiled and held out her hand, “Thanks for seeing us.”

“Hm, when we spoke, I thought it was a joke,” Allie did not shake the outstretched hand, “Two of the best managers of big time idols wanting to speak with me? Heh, quite suspicious, you understand?”

“Of course,” Bon nodded and chinned over to a small beach café nearby, “Let’s discuss while we eat.”

Allie nodded and followed, while Yaotzu was frowning slightly. They were going to put a lot of faith in this gossip reporter. He hoped they made the right choice.

‘Suu Jin, you are lucky I like you.’

Lisa stood off to the side after she prayed before Genu’s grave.

She heard the rumors of what happened, but no one really knew if it was the pills, the crash, or Genu’s deteriorating health that caused his death. The forensic specialist could not pinpoint what it was, but he was leaning toward the crash that killed him. Genu had high amounts of drugs in him and with the tumor in his brain, it all led to the end.

Yet, so many rumors were said about Suu Jin and how heartless he was. 1Luv members, Pengu and Yanny, did not help the rumors, they agreed with some. The favorite one everyone brought up was the letter Genu wrote that the popular idol refused to take.

No one truly knew the truth, but Suu Jin.

She watched him with his coat and boots, staring at the erected headstone with Genu’s name. The sub line read, “A beloved son who found his way to peace.” Lisa ran her gloved fingers through her hair and waited as the cold chilled her bones. Holding her red coat closer to her body, she continued to watch the darkness under his eyes.

‘Ah Jin, when will you speak to someone about it? I know it hurts you,’ she sighed and tucked her hands in her pockets and waited for the pinkette to finished.

This was the forth time this week they had visited Genu’s grave. The lavender flowers, Genu’s favorites, were still fresh from the last time they came. For Suu Jin, no matter how many flowers he brought or how many time he apologized, he still felt sick thinking about what happened. His friend was hurting and he… he just ignored him.

Running his fingerless gloves through his hair, he closed his eyes for a moment before speaking.

“I’m sorry, Genu,” he whispered quietly and watched the lavender swayed with the chilly air.
