"So, yeah, I take approximately 2 years hiatus 'til I release my new album" I said as I directed the camera around my studio, "I'm currently rearranging it, because I haven't been in LA for a while since my duet with GOT7's Mark, 'Freaky Style'" I added as I took a croissant and warm chocolate and looked at some comments from my followers until one of them catched my attention.
"From my old friend, Colby, 'Wanna join us?' Sure, if you won't prank me" I replied as I ended the love and went to his place. In the way I went to his place, I bought some burgers, colas, fish n' chips and some corndogs while enjoying the view in LA. Walking slowly, I waved at some of my fans and took pictures with them while giving high fives and hugs for them.
Arrived in front of his, I opened the door, which wasn't locked and see Jake and Colby were editing some videos. "Stop vaping" I said as I placed those foods and drinks on the table. "Y/N, long time no see" Jake said as he pulled me close and kissed my cheeks. "Girl, come 'ere" Colby said and hugged me right.
After helping them editing, they asking me how's life in South Korea as a solo idol. "Are you miss me that-" My words cut off when I heard fallen groceries and saw Sam with Corey while Devyn and Katrina had yelled and ran towards me. "Gosh, you're here? I thought you're still in Korea" Devyn smiled as I giggled and kissed her cheek and Katrina's.
◎※◎
"Wait, what? 2 years?" "Damn, girl. You torture your fans" Devyn said as I sighed with a smile. While watching TV with the boys because the girls wanted to planned a girls night for us later. "Sam, give me some, please" I said as Sam shielded his crisps from my reach, "Go find yourself some, most paid idol in Asia!" He growled as I hit his chest hard.
"This film sucks!" Corey said as Sam choosing what to watch and saw my film, "How about this idol's film?" "Sam, you're the worst cousin ever" I replied as the girls came back and ready to take me away from the boys. "Bye, boys" We yelled as we laughed to the way inside the car, "You know? The only think that I think is that their house is just so scary" I shrugged because they need to stop summoning demons.
"Wow, you bought this room?" I smiled as I admired the surroundings. "Of course, why won't I?" Katrina said as they sat down beside me on the couch. "So, any boy? Or man attracted you?" "There are" "Are?" Devyn asked as I nodded and close my eyes and laid my head on the pillow.
"Who?" "Colby and Jake" I replied which made them grinned, "Girl, why are you so evil?" "Yeah, both of them are into you too!" Katrina said as felt heavy. "Should I choose one of them?" "Why not both if you can?" Devyn at grinned cheeky as I listened all night long for them and some foods with Netflix.
After checked out, I went to the Trap House and placed my things in my room beside Sam as a knocks interrupted me and when I opened it, there was nothing and I turned back to see a spirit. Thanks to my past, I could act as if I didn't see it and continue my activity before close my third eye.
"Hey, Y/N" I heard Sam called as I let him in and he looked at me fidgeting, "Yeah?" "We're going to filming and thinking do you want to join?" "Sure, where?" "Biltmore Hotel". Suddenly, my blood ran cold as Sam looked at me in shock, "Shoot, you there?" "Yeah, I'm here" I whispered as I took my bag and put in my book and my needs "I'm ready" I replied as he nodded and told the others,
"So, we're going to filming in Biltmore Hotel, one of the most haunted hotel in the world! With Jake, Corey and Y/N" Sam said as he directed the camera at us "Hey, guys" We greeted and began to drive to the hotel.
◎※◎
"So, are you afraid of ghost? No, good then" The receptionist said as she gave us the key and we got inside our room. "Okay, this is creepy, like, I've goosebumps right now" I said as Jake had his arm around me and I intertwined my fingers with his hand.
"So, this is where she was killed?" "Yeah" Corey replied as both of us were really scared,"What if we're dead?" "Then let it be" Sam said as I threw shirt at him. "**** you, Sam" I said as Colby laughed and pulled me into a hug to calm me down.
"So, we'll waiting for some hours until hear or see something" Colby said as then we turned off the light and Jake has my in between his thighs and intertwined his fingers with mine. "I'm here, don't be scared" He whispered as he told me it's okay to close my eyes.
"What's that?" I whispered as we hurriedly got out from the room and kept waiting. "Let's get inside" We got inside but Jake kept holding me and we checked a lot of anomalies happened. The hand print and messed out bed, after that we received a call but we don't know from whom.
"Hello?" Corey replied as there was nothing and finally they decided to left here and when I still stood still Jake carries me and Colby brought my luggage and we, they, ran to the ground floor. "Thank you, we can't keep being in here" Sam said as he gave the key back to the receptionist and got inside the car.
"What did you see there, Y/N?" "Girl, black hair down in white nightgown and bloody hole, I guess, on her chest" I replied as I was shivering under Jake's and Colby's touches.
Few weeks after that, I refused to joined them to the Biltmore Hotel. Feeling a bit scared, I made sure that when they got back, nothing was wrong by opening my third eye. Yeah, I know it sounds strange but I could open and close my third eye whenever I want.
"Jake..." "Yeah?" "Are you alright?" I asked as he sighed, "Just overwhelmed, cuddling sounds nice for me now" He replied cheeky as I smiled and let him sat by my side and cuddled with me.
"This is just crazy, y'know?" Colby said as we watched every videos from yesterday and dusk. "It must be so creepy, especially because that ballroom is just so wide" I said as Sam nodded and we tried to figure it out. "Let's just have a rest after those journeys, bye" Corey said followed by Sam which left Colby, Jake and I in the living room.
"Could we be with you Y/N?" "My room's small, guys" I replied as Colby pulled me, who still held by Jake, toward his room and we all got on his bed. "Don't you guys feel squished?" I asked as they ignored me and fell asleep.
Felt something brushed my foot and when I opened my eye a bit and noticed something, I hid my face to Colby's chest slowly so it won't notice me. But, because its presence was so strong and crawled on me, I hugged Colby tighter and some tears escaped which woke Colby up with Jake.
"Hey, you okay?" Jake asked as he looked at me with worry, "You were keep whispering stop and go away" "Stressed out" I replied as I got out from the room to Sam's. "We need to talk" I said as Sam ended his game and let me have a seat.
"First of all, stop your 3 a.m. games because this place is haunted by a lot of spirits" Noted" He replied as I nodded and helped him to clean his room. "I bet something had happened in the hotel other than what you shew" I continued as he took a deep breath.
◎※◎
"Sure? Where to go?" Jake asked as he was driving, "Somewhere else that's private but first, but some foods and drinks" I said as he drove us to closest drive thru. "Okay, anything else? Before we're not going to grab foods anymore?" Jake asked and I told him to drive to 7-Eleven.
"What do you want to talk with me?" I asked as she shew the video we filmed in Biltmore and stopped at when we were asking for some signs. "What's wrong with this?" She asked and pointed at me, especially my eyes.
"It glowed red before the wind gushing came over" She said as we watched it in slow motion. "Not your hair, cause if it was, it'd be magenta instead red or even crimson" She added as I looked at her, scrunching my fave.
After had a chat about it and we actually recorded it since the first as an evidence of something strange happen and then it became vlog and reaction to it. "Well, that was nice, want me to help you with editing?" He asked when we in the way to house, "Sure".
"Girl, hey, wanna lasagna for dinner?" Sam asked as he patted my head on the way toward the kitchen, "Sure and carbonara please" "Hmm, right" He said as he began to boil the water. "I heard from Jake you made some videos with him" "Yeah" I replied short as I watched TV.
"Are you still scared here? I mean, you don't have to be here just because I asked you" He said as he placed lasagna and carbonara spaghetti in front of me and plopped his body beside me. "How's you and Kat?" I asked as he just simply smiled and told me some of their moments.
"Don't you wanna have partner, too?" "Yeah," I replied with a half smirk and punched his cheek lightly. "But I have no time, even for my family" I continued as he sighed softly and smiled before went to his room, left me alone.
"Who's there?" I muttered as I saw Aaron waved lightly and gave me a fistbump, "Hey, long time no see, where were you when I came?" "I was in South Carolina, y'know? Spending time with my girl" He replied as gave me a quick hug before went to sleep because jet lag.
◎※◎
"Hey" Jake said as he sat down on the bed with me, looking around the room and picked up some decorations like snow ball, books on shelf and maybe twirling leaves. "Bet, you'll be dead cause lack of oxygen at night" He smirked as I booped his nose, "Unfortunately, it's made of plastic, feel dumb yet?" I grinned.
"So, we're going to cut first before merge them" He said as he began to edit the videos and taught me some tricks and free advices. "So, voilà! There we are finished" He smiled as we saved it and made the thumbnail image.
"Y/N, do you want to go-" "If it to some places that prohibited, haunted and illegal, no!" I cut him off as he snickered, "No! Colby had tasted his own medicine, he won't do it again" "Then where?" "Shopping" "I'm in" I replied.
"Jake..." "Yeah?" "Go to sleep" I said as he laid on my bed before pulled me down, "In your freaking own room" I hissed as he smiled and I poked his dimples. "You're cute" "I am" He replied, made his dimples deeper, "But, you're way cuter" He added and quick pecked my nose, "Nightie night" He smiled as I fell asleep under his embrace.
I rolled around and turned off my alarm if it's not because Jake, who held me tight as I finally could got out without waking him up. "Y/N, come back to sleep, please" He called as he held my hand, "I'll come back after this, kay?" I replied as I pried his hand away slowly before took a bath and changed my clothes.
"Jake, wake up" "No, join me in the bed" He called softly as I looked at him for a while and sprinkled some water from drink on my nightstand on his face.
"Bitch, what the ****? For real, man, I'm tired" He slurred as I shook my head at his behaviour,
"Nu'uh, we're going to 'Dollar Tree' after this" I said as I pulled him out of the bed and he went inside the bathroom.
"Here's your clothes, I place it in front of the door" I said as I placed down the clean clothes and went downstairs to have some snacks.
"Hey, where's the other?" I asked as soon I saw Sam, "Dunno, I just arrived, girl"
"What? Oh yeah, you just moved out" I sighed as Jake, like usual, came down as if he was on the red carpet.
"Hey, Sam! Where's others?" "Dunno" He replied as Jake told him that both of us will go to the Dollar Tree to buy some stuffs for video today and we got inside the cars like lunatics.
"What's up guys? Come again with ya boy, Jake, and ya girl, Y/N!" He greeted as directed the camera at me,
"So, we're going to go to Dollar Tree to buy foods and try those shits" Jake said as he began to drive.
"As you can see, this American-born Taiwanese has lived half of her life to be trainee and idol in South Korea and came back to America.
Few months ago, right? For a duet?"
He asked as I nodded and told them about my duet with other American-born idol.
"And, he's my inspiration to be an idol, too" I added as Jake replied,
"Am I your inspiration to be a YouTuber?"
"No"
"Yo, Y/N!"
"What?"
I asked as he threw cereal boxes into the cart, "What for? Do you think that we're Tasty?" I replied as he pinched my cheek, "Yes, for today" He replied as we went to buy some milks. "Jake, could-" "Y/N, is that you?" I heard someone called for me and I saw Amber waved before ran to me.
"Hey, guys, this is my idol friend, Y/N. We're used to always together because she's really strong and once, when we were in Florida to have a vacation. Some people catcalled her as soon as when I left to have a drink and she front kicked him on the face" Amber said as I laughed so hard with her, "What are you doing here, by the way?" "Buy some stuffs for today's video with my friend" I replied and we went together while looking for Jake.
◎※◎
"Oh, there you- Who's that ?" I asked as soon as Y/N came up with a tomboy style girl.
"Jake, Amber"
She said as she told me that Amber's her friend since in California before she went to Kansas and lived for for few months and then started to travel with her parents.
"I guess, I should go now, Jack-Jack is waiting for me. Bye, Jake, Y/N" She bade and left both of us.
"So, we just cooked some that need to be cooked and how is it, Y/N?" "It sucks" She replied as she showed the hash brown that she ate,
"It was mild and the getting spicier that it made me think that it's made of chili instead of potatoes" She said as her eyes were teary and she ended up crying.
"Okay, okay, here, have a drink" I laughs as she drank the milk I have to her.
"Okay, while we're eating, let's tell our viewers about our comments for these foods" She said as we began to eat.
"Overall, these are goods, but some are just disappointing like this steak, I guess?" I said as we laughed.
"Hey, guys, were you filming?" We heard Colby asked while we were watching TV.
"Yeah, where were you?"
"Brennen"
He replied as Y/N gave me a drink after I sat down beside her. "You do know that most of Trap House will move out?" Colby asked as she nodded.
"So, you'll move out too?" "Yeah, probably Malibu or Beverly Hills because my studios are located there. Why?"
"Just wanna ask" Colby said as I nodded in understanding. "When?" "In few days" I replied as Jake looked at me, "Need help to move out?" "No, thank you".
◎※◎
"Hey, I'm going out soon, you know?"
"Yeah" She replied as I sat down beside her and grasped her fingers lightly,
"Probably, I'll miss you, because you're fun and cool" I said as she nodded and smiled,
"Thanks, you should pack your stuffs. Need help?" "Sure" I replied quiet.
"You still keep this? It's like 6 years ago" She said as she held out flower covered cross necklace,
"It's nice, I mean, you were not in Kansas anymore and I need some reminders of my loved ones" I replied back as she grinned.
"And this is the last box" I said as I taped it and Jake placed it at the corner,
"Thank you for helping me, some people will take it tomorrow to be moved to my new apartment" I replied as she offered to have a chocolate milk and cookies.
When we were in the kitchen, Colby noticed and joined us too. "Are you going to move out, too, Colby?"
"I'm not sure" He replied as he put some marshmallows into our cups.
"-Going slow or fast, no one can beat us" Colby rapped as I gave him dirty look.
"You're bad at rapping" She said as I snickered,
"Thank you, how about we just sitting outside and stargazing?"
"Why not?"
I smiled at his direction.
