Chapter 7：Athena Will Be There Too

Imperial International Airport.

Jye Yin fans and a bunch of media team waiting at the entrance since the morning. Once they landed, Aslan put on his silver sunglasses while Jye Yin also wear her yellow sunglasses together with a hat.

Aslan already hire a group bodyguard to protect them and help them to make a way. When they start to walk inside the airport, a huge commotion can be heard and a loud of screaming and shouting of her name also can be heard.

Jye Yin smile friendly to her fans. She also give a few signature to her fans. Behind her is Aslan and her manager, Eng Suk Chin. Both of them already used with this kind of scenery.

The picture of them start to spread out through the entire nation like a lightning. A lot of picture with a lot of angle make them have a lot of speculation too.

Some of the fans saying that Aslan were there to supporting his girlfriend. While some of fans saying that they actually want to get a marriages certificate and the concert is just to cover up their true intention. So many version of story start to attack the media social.

And of course, the news got to Athena's eyes. Even though she is a quite aloof but she is not totally shut herself out from the outside news. She is more like a silent observer.

Still, she doesn't care about it. The divorce paper is still with her and she is the one who had the marriage certificate with him, not Jye Yin. So she tried to not to get too obsess with his private life.

….

In the hotel suite,

Jye Yin slump down her body on the bed as soon they went inside the room.

"Oh my goodness. My cheek are sore because of too much smiling." she complaint.

Aslan busy with his phone. He conduct his business through the device even though he is with Jye Yin in Imperial City right now.

"Mm. Then you should less talk and get to sleep early. Your big day is tomorrow right?" he said.

"Yup. But I got the practice and interview before the concert. You will come with me aren't you?"

"I can't. I had things to do. But I will come at your concert for sure." he look at her with a hope that she will understand.

Puff her cheek, she nod. "Okay..make sure to come at my concert."

Smiling, he turn to look at his phone again. While Eng Suk Chin pass her a mask for her to keep her skin moist and supple. Being an artist had a limited time to take care of her own skin.

Seeing Jye Yin already in a relaxing mode, he take a turn to go to his room.

"See you later."

"Yeah..see you later."

His room is actually in the luxury suite at the top of the floor. Only two rooms were there.

He open his room door and place his bag inside the dress room. Open up his laptop, he start to do his work.

…

In the night, he go out with Jye Yin and went to the fancy restaurant he had book this afternoon.

After ordering some dinner, a deep voice greet him.

"Aslan? When did you return?" Yu Zhin, first son of Uncle Yu Lin and Zi Fei which is Athena's cousin went to the their table

"Yu Zhin?" Jye Yin ask excitedly. He was her childhood friend. And of course one of her best friend back then.

"Yup, it's me." Yu Zhin open up his arm, Jye Yin stood up and hug him after that.

"Oh dear..how long it has been? You got taller too." she look at his figure and then she turn to his side. "Oh, who is this? Your girlfriend?"

Yu Zhin nod and introduce his girlfriend to both of them.

"This is Crystal. Crystal, this is my childhood friends."

"Hello." she waved at them both.

"Hi." Jye Yin smile friendly to her. Well, it's her specialty to react in such a friendly manner.

"Oh, by the way. Do you guys free the next day after tomorrow? We gonna hang out at the shooting center. All the Lee's, Yu's n our friends back then will be there too. Since it's so rare to see you guys here, how about we hang out together? I heard Athena will be there too."

Jye Yin startle after heard Athena's name. She still put on a smile on the outer face.

"Athena will be there?" Aslan ask him.

"Yeah..eh, you don't know? Isn't she your.."

"We'll come there. What time and where?" Aslan interject him before he could finish his sentence.

Jye Yin turn to look at Aslan with a hundred question in her mind.

"Give me your number. I'll send you the details later. And I should get going too. I don't want to intruding your dinner." he pass his phone to Aslan.

After give him his phone number, Yu Zhin and Crystal say a goodbye to them.

"So, tell me, why you so fire up to go there?" Jye Yin ask him.

"Well, aren't you excited to finally gather up again with our childhood friends? It's been 11 years since last I saw them. Of course I will be a little bit excited." he said and eat his dinner after that.

Jye Yin bit her lower lips for a second before she put on the smile back on her face.

"Yeah, you right. It's been so long. I wonder how they turn out to looks like. Just look at Yu Zhin, he's so handsome and tall too."

"So you guys have a childhood friend that still in contact?" Eng Suk Chin ask.

"Yeah, we have. We used to play at Lu's island together until Aslan move out back to Russia and then he move to Arendell." Jye Yin explain to her.

"But 11 years ago, we start separated our ways and rarely contact each other. Only me and Aslan who still keep in touch together. While the others start to follow their own path and life."

Aslan nod. Yup, 11 years ago when it all start to be like what its is today. One move that he do that make them separate their ways and life.

"You guys so lucky that you guys still have each other. Heaven must favorite you both that you guys still be together huh.."

Aslan and Jye Yin just smile. Jye Yin was the one who was so excited and overjoyed with her manager statement.

…

The next day,

Aslan went to real estate company. He met with one of the architect and discuss his future plan with him.

After that he went to a few location with the architect and a few other people with them. He only return back to his suite after 6 pm.

He took a bath and dressed up for Jye Yin concert tonight.

He arrive around 8 pm and he take the VIP seat that has been set by the backstage team. He always got a special treatment from the media. Maybe because of his relationship with Jye Yin that makes him got all the special treatment.

He text Jye Yin. It's his routine to always give her his support before the concert.

Beep!

Open the text he send, she smile happily.

'Do your best.'

She reply with 'Thank you.'

After a few performance from other artist, her turn are almost up. She could hear a loud of cheering sound calling her name from in front the stage.

Take a deep breathe, she going out to the stage with a microphone on her hand.

As she start to singing,a loud clapping and cheering become more louder.

She focus her eyes to Aslan. As expected from the media team, they do a really good camera roll to her and sometimes they focus on Aslan at the VIP seat. With this kind of set up, everyone in the whole nation will have a thought of them is in real relationship even though they never announce anything to the media.

After she done her performance, one crew come to the stage with a bouquet of roses and surprising Jye Yin and the audience too.

She squinted her eyes to the crew and immediately the crew said with a microphone on, "It is from Mr. Aslan."

A loud cheering starting to fill the stadium. Aslan on the other hand was a bit surprised. He never ask anyone to give her a bouquet of roses. However, when the camera start to focus on him, he just plastered a smile on his face.

He didn't want to make a bad reputation for Jye Yin's career. The roses issue can be settle with her alone. No need to make a fuss about it. He thought.
