♡Chapter 07&08♡

♡♡♡♡♡

It is the next day after the release of the MVs. The songs are playing on all music platforms.

Pearl's music video was already surpassing 1 míllion views under 24 hours, Diamond's music video was 12.5 thousánd views under 24 hours, Crystal's music video was 10.1 thousánd views and Ruby's music video was 10.1 thousánd views while Daniel's music video was 1 míllion views on YouTube.

They were in a hotel. They were throwing a party like they always do when a new trainees releases a MV.

Medias, journalists and reporters were all over the place. The place was filled with celebrities from all over the world.

A reporter came up to Pearl with a microphone and a cameraman. " Hi, I'm Tina from Tvn News. "

" I'm Pearl. " Pearl replied not knowing what to say.

The reporter; Tina laughed. " Everyone knows you. "

Pearl smiled. " I don't think so. "

" Well, your music video is surpassing over 1 míllion views under 24 hours, how do you feel?"

" To be honest, I am nervous. This is really amazing and I wasn't expecting it at all. Less than a month ago, no one knew who I was and now, I can't go anywhere without being recognized. " Pearl replied.

" I would be nervous too if I was you. I heard that you just graduated from highschool, which university do you plan to attend?"

" I haven't graduated, yet. I have just finished exams so the results are being recorded then the graduation party. About the University, I haven't decided yet but I am ready considering Performing Arts. "

" An actress?"

" Yes. "

" I can't wait to watch your dramas. Thank you. "

" You're welcome, Tina. " Pearl said and left.

She went to the rooftop and inhaled the evening air. She tucked her hair behind her ear but it came back due to the breeze blowing.

A hand stretched out a drink to her and she looked at the person before taking it.

" You're tired, already?" Genova asked, resting on the rails. " Barely 24 hours of being a kpop and you're tired, c'mon, toughen up. "

Pearl exhaled deeply. " I'm not tired, just nervous. I really didn't expect my music video to be blowing up the internet. This is a really big deal to me, Genova. "

His eyes twitched with happiness. " This is the first time you have called my name. It has never sounded better. "

Pearl gave him a questioning look. " Pardon?"

" You know that feeling when you hear your name from a beautiful person and it sounds heavenly? It felt just like that now. "

She smiled and faced him. " Are you flirting with me?" She asked with a furrowed brow.

He was mute for a moment before he smiled. " No. . . No. . . No, I wasn't flirting with you. "

" You denied it thrice that means you are lying. "

" I'm not lying, I'm seriously not flirting with you. "

She shrugged, looking away from him. " How did you get used to this?"

" Get used to what?" Genova asked, staring keenly at her.

" A kpop. " She replied.

" Well, it wasn't easy, it is still not easy but hey, whatever happens life goes on. "

" I don't understand. " She said, facing him again.

He raked his hair backwards. " What I am saying is that you should go with the flow. "

Pearl nodded. " Thanks. "

" You wanna leave?" She nodded. " I will inform the bodyguards. "

" Thanks. "

Scarlett was watching the TV so engrossingly, gripping the remote like her life depends on it.

She was watching what was going on in the party.

" I want to watch football. " Stanley said.

Scared rolled her eyes at him and faced the TV. He wanted to drag the remote from her but she stood up, hiding it behind her back.

He dragged the remote from her and shrieked out. He kept the remote and reached out for her.

" Are you hurt? Where? Sorry, I didn't mean it. " He gushed, holding her hand in his and blowing air in the finger that had a small cut.

She looked at him and smiled. They fight like cat and dog everytime but they love each other so much.

" I will get a bandaid. " He said and wanted to leave but she held him.

" It is just a small cut, it doesn't need a bandaid. " She said.

" No, I will get it. " He went and got it. He placed it on her wounded finger. " Sorry, I just wanted to disturb you a little, I didn't mean to hurt you. "

" It is fine, your plan worked, you disturbed me. "

He laughed. " I love you, lil sis. "

Scarlett frowned. " WE ARE TWINS, YOU JÉRK. " She yelled.

" I am your elder. "

" With only three minutes!" She snapped.

" Three whole minutes is something, dear little one. "

" I'm going to my room to watch my elder sister on the TV. " She said and ran upstairs.

Pearl bought a penthouse for her family and two cars with drivers. They aren't the only one in the penthouse tho, other people lived here.

All the room had TV so you don't have to share with anyone.

Pearl entered the living room and fell on the sofa, yawning tiredly.

" Newest kpop in town, you okay?" Stanley asked, giving water to her.

" Yes, I am. Dad and mum are home, right?"

" Yes, they are sleeping. "

" Scarlett?"

" Her room. "

" I also want to sleep, good night. "

" Good night. "

TGB's House

TGB aka The Golden Boys were in their living room with the camera turn off.

They were seated on the sofa, watching TV. It has been two hours since they returned from the party.

" Those girls are really beautiful, right?" Nelson asked, poking Genova's hand. Genova knocked him on the head.

" Yes, you're right especially Pearl, she's so beautiful and nice. " Eric said.

Genova looked at Eric somehow. " Have you spoken to her?"

" No, not yet. "

" Then how do you know she is nice?" Nelson asked.

" Her interview with a reporter. " He replied.

" She and Genny are really good friends, maybe he should introduce you to each other, huh?" Nelson said.

" First thing tomorrow morning, we should meet in the dance room. Our concert is next tomorrow. " Genova said and left.

●●●

He went into the shower and striped naked. The water poured out on him, cooling him down.

This is the second time he would be showering this evening. He showered when he returned to the party and now again.

" Why is she so pretty and cute at the same time?" He asked aloud, raking his wet hair backwards. " Genova, this girl has surely casted a spell on you. "

Lee's House

They were seated on the dinning table, eating breakfast.

" Mum, dad, Scarlett and Stanley, I want to say something. " Pearl announced.

" What is it?" Sophia asked.

" You know, I told you that I would be joining a team of three girls plus me making us a quad. "

" Yes. "

" Gabriel Yoon; my agent said that we will have to live together. I was told earlier but forgot about it since I was too busy. I will be moving tomorrow. I'm really sorry for not telling you guys about it, it skipped my mind. "

" It is fine, Scarlett already informed us about it. " Pete said.

" Really?" Pearl asked and faced Scarlett. " How did you know?"

" Well, I am a kpop fan so I know everything. I will miss you so much. " Scarlett replied.

" When will you be leaving?" Sophia asked.

" Tomorrow morning. We need to be settled before TGB concert. " Pearl answered.

" I am so upset, I wouldn't be able to see them tomorrow. The concert tickets are all sold out. " Scarlett groused, pouting sadly.

" We will miss you so much. Take care of yourself and visit often. " Pete said.

" Thanks, dad. I will miss you too. "

" Make sure you pack enough blanket, okay? Or maybe, I should pack your luggage for you. " Sophia said.

" Mum, no. I'm not Stanley. "

" Hey, " Stanley shouted. " I'm mama's boy. "

Everyone laughed.

" We will miss you a lot, Pearl. " Sophia said.

" What about school? You aren't planning on dropping out, are you?" Pete asked.

" No, I am not. I will attend school but I need my highschool certificate first. " Pearl replied.

" Which University do you have in mind?" Sophia asked.

" No, not yet. I am still searching. " Pearl replied.

" Alright. "

" I want to go and pack my luggages. "

" Wait, which course do you want to major in?" Pete asked.

" Performing Arts, I want to be an actress. "

" I'm so happy that you are listening to your heart. I am going to work now, bye bye. " Pete said, giving her a kiss on the forehead. He did same to Scarlett, hugged Stanley and kissed Sophia before leaving.

♡♡♡♡

Pearl and Scarlett was in her room, packing her luggages.

" I can't believe you are going to leave here. I am going to miss you so much. " Scarlett said.

" I know, right? Just few weeks ago, I was a complete nobody and now. . . "

" You are Pearl, my beautiful sister and lastest kpop in town. " Scarlett completed.

" Yeah. "

" So, where are you going to live?" Scarlett asked.

" GY Estate. "

" Umm. . . This is where TGB are living. "

" I know. "

" So, when are you and Genny gonna start dating?"

Pearl stopped what she was doing to look at her sister; Scarlett. " What do you mean?"

" I meant what I said, both of you are a really great couple. "

" You are not serious, Genova and I can't and won't date. " Pearl said.

Scarlett scoffed, laughing. She patted Pearl's shoulders. " My dear sister, let's wait and see. "

Pearl didn't say anything, she just stared at her sister; Scarlett.

" I don't get why you're packing your clothes, you aren't going to wear them. " Scarlett said.

" Why?"

" Well, because you're Pearl and you can't be seen wearing something just this. "

" What is exactly wrong with this clothes?" Pearl asked.

" Well, nothing exactly. Just that. . . "

" I will wear whatever I want, Scar. "

" Can't you just leave it here for me and get new ones? You have a lot of money in your account now. "

" Who told you that?"

" My phone. I am a kpop addict, I know everything going on on social media. Your song is surpassing over 2M views now. "

" Umm, really?"

" Yes. So, obviously you have a lot of money in your account. Leave your clothes for me, please. "

" Nope. I love my clothes so much and you have more than enough clothes to wear. "

" Fine, do your wish. Pearl, do you plan on going to TGB's concert tomorrow's night?"

" Yes, I'll be going. "

" Seriously?"

" Yes, I literally just said yes two seconds ago. "

" I'm so excited and sad. I won't be going, concert tickets are all sold out. "

" I can give you one ticket, I have five. "

" FIVE?! For what?"

Pearl shrugged. " Who knows? I want to give Daisy and Dawn two, I will take one. It'll remain two. "

" What of Dorothy?"

Pearl bit her bottom lip. " She wouldn't take it, she dislikes me. "

Scarlett sneered. " I hate her so much. "

" Don't hate anyone. "

｡｡｡｡

Sophia made sure she woke up early to prepare breakfast for Pearl before she leaves.

Pearl was already awake and ready to leave but she hasn't come out yet, she was still in her room.

She was dressed in yellow hoodie and jean shorts with white sneakers. She packed her hair in a ponytail. She applied lip gloss on her lips and put it in her hoodie pocket.

She looked at herself in the mirror and exhaled. " Pearl, everything is going well. No need to be verklempt, you're doing great. Just step out and be yourself, but please stop twitching. "

Scarlett hugged her from the back. " You look cute as always. Don't you think you should lend me some of your fashion sense?"

" Scar, I'm really nervous. "

" I'd be too if I was you, this is a very big deal. Reporters are outside, waiting for you so of course, it's human to feel nervous. You just be yourself and people will love you just as I do. "

Pearl smiled and hugged her. " You're the best sister ever. Thank you. "

" For what?"

" For everything, I love you. "

" Love you too baby girl. "

Pearl laughed and pulled out of the hug. " Let's go downstairs. "

" Let me help you with a luggage "

They went downstairs with each luggage. Sophia was just placing the breakfast on the dinning table.

" Good morning, mum. " Pearl said.

" Good morning, momma. " Scarlett said.

" Good morning, girls. How was your night?"

" Wonderful. " Stanley replied.

" I'm pretty sure she wasn't asking you the question, Stanley. " Scarlett spat.

" Good morning, all. How was your night sleep?" Pete asked, cutting Stanley from replying Scarlett.

" Nice. " Scarlett replied.

They ate breakfast quite early. It is 6:00am and they were having breakfast.

" Are you all packed?" Sophia asked.

" Yes, mum. " Pearl answered. " Dad, have you settled the twins' transfer?" Pearl asked.

" Yes, they'll start school in Hero Academy High as from Monday. "

" Okay. "

A car horn was heard and they are stood up.

" Take absolute care of yourself, okay?" Sophia said. She was almost at the verge of crying.

" We will miss you, darling. " Pete said.

" Enjoy your kpopy live, I'll miss you. " Stanley said. He forced himself to smile tho he wasn't happy that Pearl is leaving.

" You guys, calm down. She will still be in Seoul. " Scarlett said and hugged her. " Take care. "

Pearl nodded. They all hugged each other.

" Let's es**rt you out. " Stanley said.

Immediately, they stepped outside the gate. Flashes of light temporarily blinded them.

Fans rushed to Pearl with signs like ' I love you' ' you are beautiful' ' I'm your number one fan ' but she was guarded by four guards. One at each side, at her back, at her front, at both of her sides. They leaded her to the tainted car.

This car was different, it looks like a bus but it isn't. It has two adjustable chairs at the back, it can be a normal chair and laid-back chair which can also massage. It has a place where you can keep a cup by the side of the chair. In the front of the car which is the driver's place, there's one chair beside the driver's seat making it only four seats in this buslike car.

The ride away from her home to her new home began.

TGB's House

It was around 7:00am, Genova was on the balcony of his room, looking outside an iced coffee in his hand.

" When do you think they will be arriving?" Nelson asked, startling Genova to spill the liquid on himself.

" What the héck, Nelson?!" He snapped. " What are you doing here?"

" Everywhere is boring, just wanted to talk to you. Let's do a live video together, please. "

" Not interested. Go ask others or better still, do it yourself. "

" I don't want to, please. "

" No, Nelson. I don't want to. Gosh, you made me spill iced coffee on my body, I'm now cold. Don't you know how to knock, squirrel?"

" Sorry, I won't bother you anymore. " Nelson said, pouting sadly.

" Hey, I didn't mean to snap at you. I am just moody this morning, our concert is tonight, it is making me nervous. "

" You? Nervous? You are never nervous? Or is there someone you want to be perfect for?"

Genova looked at Nelson with arched brows. " You're quick-witted in this type of things, you this short squirrel. "

Nelson laughed and left.

Genova changed his shirt to an hoodie: a yellow hoodie. He wanted to take a walk around the estate since the person he was waiting for hasn't arrived.

Five cars entered the estate and guards opened the door for them.

Genova smiled at Pearl who was in the same outfit as him. Yellow hoodie and jeans.

Flashes of light were still following them until they were stopped by the guards. They stayed far away from them but were still able to take photos.

" Hi, Pearl. " Genova waved.

Pearl smiled, waving back. " Hi. " She wanted to step away from the car door but stepped on her shoe lace, making her slip.

Genova caught her before she could fall by the waist. He stopped himself from getting lost in her eyes as she stared at him.

He helped her to tie her shoe lace well after letting her stand well.

" Thank you. "

" You're welcome, shortie. "

Pearl gasped, playfully. " I'm not short, you are tall. "
