Chapter 1.1

*Madison POV*

"MAAAADDDDIIISON" I heard someone shout, while shaking me viciously

"Whattttt" I groaned, opening my eyes to see my roommate Chloe, hovering over me.

As I saw the panic look on her face, I quickly sat up and she started pacing around my bedroom.

I felt around for my phone looked to see that I had 26 miss calls and 22 messages from my mother.

"Shit" I mumbled and looked back at Chloe.

"Your mother is on her way" Chloe said "we have less than 20 minutes"

She rushed out of my room and I stood up, starting to feel panicked as well.

"Don't just stand there, take everything DOWN" Chloe yelled from her bedroom and I started to move.

You might be wondering, why are we behaving this way just because my mom is heading over here? Well that's the thing, MY MOTHER IS COMING OVER. It might not seem as nerve-wrecking to you but it is for us.

Let me tell you about my mother,

since she is an 'old-soul' and doesn't live with me anymore, she expects me to focus more on 'maturing' than to waste my time on foolish things-----> hence, our posters and everything else in our apartment. And if she sees one thing out of place, JUST ONE, she would burn everything related to it and that's not a big deal for her. That's just one thing she does, image what else she is capable of😬

I tried to take everything down, as fast as I could but being as careful as I could.

After a couple of minutes of taking stuff down and fixing the place, I felt a little proud of us. This wasnt my first rodeo you know, I have done this for years. I did last minute inspection around the entire apartment, feeling satisfied. As Chloe finished up with the bathroom, I grabbed my towel, my clothes that I'll planning on changing into and headed to shower.

"Hurry Maddie, we have less than 10 minutes left" Chloe said and I nodded.

Let me tell you something, that was the QUICKEST that I ever gotten ready because I usually take about an hour, ok that's a lie but I usually take more than 10 minutes to get ready but not as long as an hour.

As I came out, the bell rang and I saw Chloe by the door, trying to even out her breathing before open the door. I rushed to her side, both plastering a fake smile on and opened the door to my mom.

"Mama" I said through my teeth "entrez s'il vous plait (please come in)". Did I forget to tell you that my mom only speaks french.

"madison, je t'ai appelé plusieurs fois, pourquoi tu n'as pas répondu (Madison, I called you many times, why didnt you answer) " My mom said as she entered. She hugged Chloe and headed to the living room.

"désolé maman, je dormais quand vous appeliez (sorry mom, I was sleeping when you called) " I replied while Chloe stood there awkwardly. Yup she doesnt speak French no matter how many times she tried to learn it. I sat down on the couch while I saw my mom inspecting everything very closely.

"comment pourriez-vous vous réveiller si tard. vous êtes tellement paresseux (how could you wake up so late, you are so lazy)" my mom spoke and I mentally rolled my eye.

"Eh bien je me suis couché tard (Well I went to bed late) " I mumbled and Chloe stood up. My mom looked at her, with her eyebrow raised.

"Um.... I got to go......" Chloe spoke "I umm just remembered that I had to meet with a friend right now"

My mother scoffed and I gave Chloe 'don't you dare leave" but she just smiled and she was out the door. I slumped into my chair

"Great, just great" I said to myself

My mom looked at me with a look and I straighted up in my seat.

"as-tu faim maman? (are you hungry mother) " I asked, trying my best for her to not look around to closely

"non, je ne suis pas. je vais regarder autour de moi puis partir ( no I'm not, I am going to look around and then leave) " She said, standing up and walking toward my bedroom. I followed behind, praying to God that she won't find anything.

"wow madison, c'est tellement propre (wow madison, it''s so clean) " she said looking at me suspionsly and I did everything to avoid her gaze. This is the gaze she does to read me and everything I look at her gaze, I end up getting myself in trouble

"je suis fier de toi (im proud of you)" she said patting my head. She walked past me, going to Chloe's room and doing the same thing. After what felt like forever, she was heading to the door, me cheering in my head.

She than said that she forgot her phone in my bedroom and headed back

AND THATS WHEN EVERYTHING BLEW IN MY FACE.

She saw it. The ONLY POSTER I FORGOT TO TAKE DOWN. The one on the ceiling

"madison, pourquoi avez-vous encore des affiches de ce stupide boyband asiatique (Madison , why do you still have posters of these stupid asian boyband)" she yelled at me "je ne vous ai pas dit de jeter ces derniers il y a longtemps (didnt I tell you tho throw these out long time ago) "

I mentally cussed in my head, trying to find the best solution to not get in the biggest trouble.

"maman, s'il te plaît, calme-toi et écoute (Mom please clam down and listen) " I said anxiously

te souviens-tu de ce que je t'ai dit la dernière fois que si je trouve une autre chose inutile (you remember what i told you last time that if i find another thing useless) " she said, walking out the room.

To tell you the truth, I really don't remember but that's only because its been over 3 months since that conversation.

"Je vais demander à votre père de le configurer demain. tu ferais mieux de préparer et emballer (I'll ask your dad to set it up tomorrow, you better get ready and pack)" she said then opened the door and left.

"Shit shit shit" I mumbled pacing around, trying to calm my self and trying to remeber what the conversation was about last time.

I head to my room, flopping on the bed and staring at the poster that ruined everything.

"Ahhhhhhhh" I yelled into my pillow, until I felt satisfied.

"BTS, you'll be the death of me" I mumbled, still staring at the ceiling.

After what felt like eternity, I felt my phone ringing. I felt around for it and answered without looking at the caller id.

"Maddie, did she leave" I heard the caller said and I knew it was Chloe.

"Yea" I said back

"You sound depressed" she said "did you get in trouble again?"

And I didn't respond, just closed my eyes and nodded

"What did she find?" Chloe asked

"The poster on the ceiling" I said groaning

"Girl, its gonna be okay" She replied "She didnt do anything last time"

"I wish but I think this time is different" I said sighing "she told me to pack and everything"

"I think she is just trying to scare you" Chloe said

"You dont know my mother. Whatever she said she'll do, she does it" I said "listen, I got to hang up. Are you coming back tonight or not?"

"Nope. Im saying over at Max's

(her boyfriend) tonight. I'll be back tomorrow morning" She said

"Ok. Bye" I said hanging up

I got up and started packing my things. As I was half way done, my phone ranged

"Salut papa (hi dad) " I said waving to him during FaceTime and he waved back. Then placed it on the bed and continued to pack

While my dad was busy doing something as well.

"Madison, as-tu encore énervé ta mère? (Madison did you upset your mother again)" my dad and than chuckled

"Je n'ai rien fait cette fois papa. la seule chose qui s'est produite est qu'elle a trouvé une affiche au plafond puis elle m'a dit de faire ses bagages. (I didnt do anything this time dad. The only thing that happened was that she found the poster on the ceiling and than she told me to pack) " I said

"papa faites-vous où elle m'envoie à?

(Dad do you know where she is sending me to?)" I asked

"Ne lui dites pas que je vous l'ai dit mais elle m'a demandé de vous procurer un billet pour la France afin que vous puissiez rester avec votre tante pendant un moment. (Dont tell her that I told you but she asked me to get you a ticket to France so that you'll stay with your aunt for awhile)" Dad replied and I quickly picked up the phone

"Papa, s'il te plait ne m'envoie plus là-bas. envoie moi ailleurs, nulle part ailleurs. (dad please dont send me there again. Send me somewhere else, any where else) " I said looking at him with my pleading face

"ne t'inquiète pas ma petite fille, tu sais que je ne te ferai pas ça (dont worry my baby girl, you know I wont do that to you)" he said smiling at me, while I let out a sigh

"alors où est-ce que tu m'envoies? (So where are you sending me?)" I asked

"mon ami de l'industrie du divertissement a demandé une faveur, je vais donc vous envoyer là-bas (my friend from the entertainment business asked me for a favor, so i will send you there)" my dad reassured me and I gave the look for him to keep on going.

"c'est un secret mais ne vous inquiétez pas. tu vas l'adorer (it's a secret but don't worry you'lI love it)" he said smiling back at me

"mais papa ( but Dad)" I whined and he shook his head

"non mais madison, attendez et voyez

(No but madison, just wait and see)" he replied

"bien (fineee)" I said

"je dois aller aimer, je te verrai à l'aéroport demain matin ( I got to go love, I will see you at the airport tomorrow morning)" he said and I nodded

"bonsoir papa. À demain (goodnight dad, see you tommorow)" I said waving than the call ended

I resumed the music on my phone and BTS 'SPRING DAY' played. As I hummed along, I continued to pack.

"Tomorrow is gonna be a long day" I said to myself

Chapter 1.2

*Madison POV*

3 AM.....THEY WOKE ME UP AT 3 AM. My mother came along with a few bodyguards from my father's company, banging on the door and waking me up so that we could get to the air-port at 3......A......M, an hour after I fallen asleep.

And I could say that her loud banging woke up the entire LA.

"Obtenez déjà votre paresseux ou je vais les faire vous traîner à la voiture

(Get your lazy bum up or I will have them drag you to the car)" my mother said sternly

"Alright, alright I'm getting up" I mumbled, while still in my onesie and wrapped inside my blanket. The bodygurads grabbed my suitcases

(1 big one and 1 little one), and my handbag. I decided not to pack a lot because where ever im going, I'll just shop for clothes when I get there.

I was practically waddling down the hall, all the way down to the car that was waiting for us downstairs. I fell asleep in the elevator, which annoyed my mom so she got a hold of my nose and pulled it.

Did I ever tell you that my mother gets a little harsh when she gets annoyed? Well if I didn't, I'm telling you now.

"je ne sais vraiment pas comment tu es ma fille (I dont know how you are my daughter)" my mother exclaimed while getting inside the car.

I of course just shrugged it off, trying not to laugh because we go over the same conversation a million of times.

And the first thing I did when I got inside the car was to lean my head to the window and being as cozy as possible.

1 hour past

2 hours past

3 hours past

AND FINALLY 4 HOURS PAST

After a 4 hours drive, we came to a sharp hault. I looked out the window to see that we arrived at the airport, not the one that I always go to.

"maman, pourquoi sommes-nous à cet aéroport au lieu de l'autre? (mom why are we at this airport instead of the other one)" I lazily asked

"parce que cette fois, vous utiliserez un plan régulier au lieu du jet privé (beause this time you will be using a regular plane instead of the private jet)" she said and I stood there surprised.

Whenever I travel, I ALWAYS use our private jet.

"je vous ai dit que je suis fatigué de votre craps ces derniers temps, alors votre père et moi allons vous mettre sur une limite (I told you that I been tired of your craps lately so your father and I will be putting you on a limit)" she replied, motioning for guards to grab my things and to bring them to the checkout, she followed behind them.

And me being ME, I resorted to acting petty and just stood there not moving an inch.

"Are you fucking kidding me" I thought to myself, but ended up blurting it out loud.

"That's a word that you shouldnt use pumpkin" I heard from behind and

I turned to see my dad, who was standing a few inches behind me. He had his arms out in the air and I ran to him, getting embraced by him.

"I missed you papa" I said smiling into the hug. I haven't seen him, face to face in months.

"Me too my petite fille (baby girl)" he said, breaking the hug and staring at me, with a smile.

He then put his arms around my shoulders and started to walk to the airport

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

My dad is very popular in every type of business, especially the entertainment business. You could literally tell anyone him name and they would know him. One of his company called "STAR⭐MUSIC" always forms the 'IT GROUPS and ARTIST' every time. And with him having such a popular and huge companies that are worldwide, we dont really get to see each other very much. Both of my parents are always busy because of all the things that needed to be taken care of for the companies, so they always travel (especially recently because of they are about to debut a new 4 member boy+girl group called XOXO) .

And with me being the only daughter/child in the family, you could say that I'm SPOILED. VERY SPOILED as some would say but I dont really think of myself like that. But my parents and I dont spend a lot of time together.

And because they are my parents, you would assume that I am displayed in every related article to my parents but its the exact opposite. And that is because my parents do everything in their power for me to have a normal and quiet life. They want things to be like that until I am at least old enough to take over the all the companies. And I am glad that I still have years left until I have to do that. But their kind of 'normal life'  means that I am stuck being used by my parents like a PUPPET. So I really don't see the point of me waiting, because I do most of the work for the company anyways.

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

"Papa, je ne vais vraiment pas prendre le jet \(Dad, am I really not going to take the jet?\)" I asked pouting

"Je suis désolé chérie mais pour que je ne t'emmène pas en France, j'ai dû écouter ta mère à ton sujet en utilisant un avion régulier. \(I'm sorry darling but in order for me to not bring you to France, I had to listen to your mom about you using a regular plane\)" He said looking at me

"But Just this once okay? I am even going along with you" He added and my squealed, clapping my hands together while jumping up and down

"Really?" I asked excitedly and he nodded

"Of course" He exclaimed " I am not going to let my little girl travel by herself to a foreign country"

We finally reached the check\-in area and met up with my mom. As my parents saw each other, the kissed and hugged each other. They then went to the side to have a conversation.

I searched for my phone in my onesie and found it about 80 percent of charge left. I checked to see lot of notifications and messages from Chloe.

"Madison, il faut y aller. vous devez monter dans l'avion en ce moment

\(Madison we gotta go. You have to board the plane right now\)" my mother yelled.

I rushed behind my parents, still thinking about the CHLOE and MY MOM situation. The truth is, my mom doesn't really like her for many reasons. And by her changing the locks, means 1\) she want CHLOE to move out and to go back to her own place. 2\) because HENRI IS COMING BACK SOON. I really dont know how to tell Chloe but I think she gets the hint by now, right? And the while living situation was only until I had to leave to somewhere again.

We arrived infront of the plane Im suppose to board, to see that the flight attendents were about to close the doors but as soon as they saw us, they stopped and waited for my dad and I to enter.

We said goodbye to my mom and got to our seats in the first class section. We had the VIP FIRST CLASS SECTION \(it was closed off and bigger then the rest of the section\), and I sat by the window while my dad sat next to me, at the aisle seat. I turned my phone on Airplane Mode and clicked my seatbelt on.

We watched the safety video \(muted\) and the voice on the speaker spoke

"에어 코리아에 오신 것을 환영합니다. 안전 벨트를 착용하십시오. 곧 벗을 것입니다.

\(Welcome to AIR KOREA, please fasten your seatbelt and we will take off soon\)" it spoke.

The language sounded familiar to me but I couldnt put my finger on it and I only understood the 'please fasten your seatbelt' part.

"où allons\-nous papa \(where are we going dad\)" I turned to ask him

"chut. c'est une surprise pour toi \(Shh. Its a surprise for you\)" he said then we started moving.

I took a\-hold of my dad's hands and closed my eyes tight. Yea yea, laugh all you want but flying is terrifying to me. I could never get use to it no matter how many times I've done it.

When we finally got in the air, I let go of my dad's hands and I took out my own headphones and phone from my onesie pocket and played BTS \+ PANIC AT THE DISCO \+ \(AND ETC\) on shuffle. I looked over to my dad, to see him typing away on his laptop.

"toujours faire des affaires. tsk tsk tsk

\(Always doing business. Tsk×3\)" I playfully say and he just chuckled.

I layed down and fell asleep.

Few hours later

"Miss.......Miss" I felt someone shake me. I slowly opened my eyes and looked to see it was one of the flight attendants, the one with the snack bar. I grabbed my phone to see that 7 hours had gone by and looked back at the women.

"What would you like to have" she asked me, looking back at the cart and back at me. She had a strong accent but I couldnt figure out where.

"I'm good. Thanks for asking" I said and she left. I looked to the side, to see my dad sleeping while his laptop was still opened. I just shook my head and sighed, closing the laptop and covering him with a blanket.

I looked around, and saw that almost everyone was asleep, and those who werent were the kids watching something on their mini\-TV. I stared out the window and noticed it was dark out.

I wondered why we still didnt get to our destination. I mean its been 7 hours already and we still didnt arrive yet. I also wondered where we were heading to, because more than half of the people on board were asian.

After a few minutes of asking myself questions, and losing myself to the view outside, I decided to watch something on the tv.

"No........Looks Boring........Not even gonna waste my time........No.........\(Sigh\) .......No" I mumbled while looking through the categories of movies.

When I was about to give up searching to watch something, I came across KDRAMAS and decided to watch 'Descendants Of The Sun' because why not. Hopefully, before i watch all episodes, we would arrive to whatever place we are heading towards. And from the look of it, it doesnt seem boring.

"ARE YOU SHITTING ME" I angrily yelled, making some people stare at me. I just stared back and smiled, returning to the situation that happened.

The thing is, I was at the most interesting part \(6th epsiode\) of DOTS and the tv cutted to the home page. Do you understand how frustating that is. I was so frustated that I didnt noticed that we landed and most people were already gone.

"Madison, come on we have to leave" My dad said

As we walked out of the plane, heading outside, I saw many posters and signs with a different langauge. As I was about to read them, my dad placed a sunglasses on me. Weird

As we reached outside, taking a look around, this looked similar. And everytime I was about to say that or ask something, my dad did something to distract me.

We entered the car and the driver, and my dad kept giving each other glances that seemed secretive.

I never saw this driver before, but my dad seem to know him. And it was weird that we didnt use the same driver that always drove us around.

My dad was still trying to distracted me from looking out the window, because he kept on starting different type of conversations and I finally said that he was being weird.

"I'm just trying to catch up again. Dont worry too much about it darling" He replied

He then started telling me about XOXO \(cuz I asked\) and said that he might debut them in a couple of months.

The car came to a stop and I looked to see that we were at a parking lot, near a something that looked like a side entrance. My dad and I got out of the car.

"I ...... go to park car" the driver said and then spoke with my dad in another language. Then the driver left, and I realized about my suitcases.

"I forgot my stuff" I said and my dad just grabbed my hands and entered the door.

We went inside the building and a sign caught my eyes.

NO FLIPPING WAY!!!!!!

Would you like them all to speak english to make it easier??

Tell me you choice in the comment section

NOW ONTO THE STORY👀

_____________________________________

*Madison POV*

NO WAY.

I stood there, staring at the 'BIGHIT' sign, plastered on the wall.

"Darling, come on we have to go?" I heard my dad say, waiting at the end of the hall.

Still in shock, I followed behind and and he continued to guide the way.

As we we're pasting by people, they bowed and stared, some even snickered while looking at me.

I just shrugged, plastering a smile on and continued to follow my dad.

We came to a stop in front of a door and my dad turned to face me.

"Now love, when we go in, be respectful and bow down ok?" He said and I nodded

My dad opened the door and we walked inside to find a man---let me rephrase that--- we find HIT-MAN BANG/ Bang Si-hyuk (Bang PD) talking on the phone

"No bloody way" I whispered, putting my hands over my mouth, staring at him.

When he noticed us, he ended his phone call and he went to hug my dad.

"Long time no see, mate" my dad said, and they both chuckled.

"When are you ever gonna stop saying that, Rich-Guy" Bang PD said, breaking the hug.

He then noticed me, and of course my eyes grew even more.

"Is this Little Madison?" Bang said and I froze.

He knew me?

I bowed down, as my dad instructed and Bang PD just smiled at me.

I looked at my dad and he just keep on chuckling.

"Wow, last time I saw you, you were so little" Bang PD said, then he ruffled me hair and I gave him a confused look.

He motioned us to sit down at the chairs. As we sat down, he and my dad got into a conversation. I didnt want to be noisy to what they were talking about, so I looked around. The first that caught my eyes in his office was a picture of him with BTS from not too long ago, around 2014.

With me gazing at that picture with a smile on, I didnt realize that my dad and Bang PD stopped talking and they were staring at me.

Before anyone could say anything, someone knocked the door and a guy came in. I couldn't really see his face, because he kept on bowing down.

He had asked for Bang PD regarding something, and soon Bang PD followed behind him, leaving me and my dad in his office.

I turned to face my dad, asking him the question that has been on my mind the whole trip.

"What do you think we are here for?" Dad replied back,  asking the same question that I had just asked him. I shrugged because he never actually told me why.

He just shook his head, doing 'tsk tsk tsk'. He started typing away on his phone

"You are here to help Bang Si-hyuk, at the company. Your mother said that yiu were being a handfull and had to be taken to a place where you would learn responsibilities" My dad replied

not even looking at me when he spoke.

I rolled my eyes, slouching on the leather chair.

"I think you would find this situation very pleasent" He said

"I know that you really like this, um.... BTS, did I said that right" He asked.

I nodded. Listening to everything that was being said, waiting to hear the catch.

"Right, knowing that you like this BTS group, I bought you here to help out Bang Si-Hyuk with whatever because he called me a few days ago, saying he could use all the help he could get"

He stated, still on his phone.

"What do you mean by whatever" I asked

"You know, the usual stuff you do at our company" He said

So I am going to do everything at the same time for two different companies, just like last time.

"During your stay here, you are just a typical worker, ok? Because your mother doesn't know that you are specifically at this company" My dad said "and if you cause trouble, that would be bad for the both of us"

I gave him my fakest smile and a thumbs up.

I really didn't have to worry about my mother finding out because, as I said before, I dont talk or see my parents often.

"What's the position that I''ll be getting" I asked, playing with the ring on my fingers

"Bang PD suggested for you be like a sub-manager" Dad replied back

"I got to head back now" my dad said, standing up amd bringing me into a hug, after Bang Si-hyuk returned.

I didn't hug, more like just stood there while he did the hugging.

My dad and Bang PD said their farewells to each other.

"If anything happens, call me and remember to have fun" my dad said heading to the door

Yeah right, like you would ever pick up.

"Ok. Bye" I said waving

"See you later darling" he responded and Bang PD walked him out, leaving me.

It situation really wasnt a surprise to me because it wasnt the first time.

As soon as they left, I scrolled through twitter and saw that I had a twitter notification, indicating that BTS tweeted.

This really made my day. Jimin's one tweet lifted my mood. No matter what kind of day I always have, BTS always seem to lift my mood with the simpliest actions .

Bang PD came back, motioning me to follow him so I placed the phone back in my pocket and followed behind.

I really didn't  know where we were head to. As we got to the secretary desk, we were met with the driver that drove me here. He and Bang PD got into a short convo, while I was being me my own world.

"He is going to bring you to your hotel" Bang PD said smiling and I nodded.

I waved at him and shortly after I made my way to the car.

To say that the car drive wasn't  awkward, would be a lie.

I think that's because the driver couldn't speak english very well or that he couldn't understand my korean very well, because of my strong mixed accent.

------------

To not confuse you readers, I will explain my ethnicity/ nationality.

My mother was born and raised in France, making her full FRENCH.

But my dad was born and raised in England, making him BRITISH.

They met in college, you know the casual love story.

Then comes me....

I was born in England, making me a mixed race of FRENCH AND BRITISH.

I moved around between both places but I mostly lived in England.

Then about 2 years ago, when I was 17 years old, I moved with my best-guy-friend (who is British-American & who you havent met just yet) to LA.

*this is why my mother feels more comfortable speaking French,(although she can speak and understand ENGLISH very well, she does this so that I won't forget the language)  because it is her native language.

And this is also the reason, why my dad also speaks French, (because of my mom).

SO... because of this, I have both a French Accent and a British Accent (mostly BRITISH ACCENT because it's my everyday style.

The French accent comes out only when I am speaking FRENCH and sometimes when I am mad. ).

--------------

I had never been so happy when we arrived. I immediately got out, grabbing my luggages from the trunk of the car and heading inside.

The driver kept on trying to take my stuff, saying it will be easier but I just told him to go check me in and to get my room keys.

As I waited for his return, I looked at the place, while sitting on one of my suitcase.

Considering that it was almost 9 pm, the lobby was still bright from the light displaying. The lobby was nice and neat and like every other hotels I have been too, it had pieces of artifacts displayed. It was most likely fake, just like the rest of them.

The A/C was blasting, probably trying to keep the heat from outside. At most corners were seats and sofas. I still didn't understand why they needed like a billion of them.

As people walked past, some gave me looks, and some whispered and I just shrugged it off, not bothering to even look at them back anymore.

The driver came back, grabbing the other suitcase, including my handbag, which he placed on top of the luggage and before I could say anything, he headed towards the elevator.

Ding.

We got off at the 7th floor and I followed the driver to my room 0709.

Unlocking the door and the fresh clean febreeze hit me.

The driver places my suitcases near the desk, bowed down and after I bowed to him he left, with me closing the room door behind him.

"Wow" I mumbled while looking at the view.

The room was decent but the view was amazing. It was mesmerizing and relaxing. Just by looking at the ocean, it makes me want to go swimming.

"Alright, let's hit the showers now" I said, heading towards my baggage and opening my suitcase. I grabbed a pair of shorts and shirt, making my way to the bathroom.

On my way my reflection stopped me.

"So this is why people kept on staring at me all day today" I said

I was in my spongebob onsie, hair in a messy bun and looked crazy. I just laughed at myself and went inside the bathroom

I let the water run down my face, closing my eyes as I let the steamy water calm me. The things on my mind faded away and I was at peace, just standing under the shower head without any struggles on my mind.

I was planning on taking a LONG shower because the last time I showered was yesterday morning after midnight, a couple of hours before boarding the plane to Seoul.

Knock knock

Knock knock

Knock knock

"Ugh whyyy" I quickly got out, with no time to wear my clothes so I just grabbed a robe to cover myself.

"Who?" I shouted and got no answer back and the person at the door just kept on ringing.

I opened the door, not bothering to look at the peekhole.

"I'M BACK BITCH" and I was pulled into a tight hug

"Henri?" I said, tapping his arm to break away from the hug "what are you doing here"

"I came because I wanted to go on another journey with you of course" Henri said

(Henri was the guy bestfriend I was talking about earlier. The one I moved to LA with 2 years ago)

"No I meant, how did you know where I was?" I asked, while I moved to the side and he came in with his luggage.

He flopped on the bed with a thud

"Go finish showering, I'll tell you when you come back" he said waving me off and closing his eyes

I hurried back to the shower, taking a long time to wash my hair and myself.

After I was done, I dried myself and wore my nightwear

I headed to Henri to find him asleep.

I shook my head, placing his stuff next to mine and took out the light sweater he was wearing. I moved him to the side and turned all the lights off, making my way back to bed.

As I hit the bed, Henri pulled me closer to him and I soon fell into a deep slumber.

6:30 Am

"You little fucker" I said a little irritated, throwing the pillows at him

"I didn't mean too" Henri replied ducking

"This is why I hate sharing the bed with you" I said and he just kept on laughing

"It wasn't that bad" Henri said standing up and surrendering

"You kicked like a billions of times, knocking me out of the bed about 5 times" I said

"Im sorry luv" He said, bringing me into a hug

"Whatever" I sigh trying to break the hug but Henri just hugged me tighter

"Let go" I said

"Let me have this, I haven't seen you in 3 months" He said snuggling into my hair

"Ok ok. Let's get ready for the day" I said squeezing my way out of the hug

"But it's too earlyyyyy" He whined falling back into the bed

"Oh. I didnt realize" I mumbled, checking the clock and getting back onto the bed.

"Let's catch up before we have to go out later" Henri said looking at me and I nodded

For the next hour, we laughed and caught up with everything. It felt good to have Henri back but I wasn't going to tell him that.

"I can't believe your parents are using the ONE thing you admire to the same bullshit we did before. " Henri said sounding a little mad

"that's low, even for them"

"I knew something was going to happen when they used that lame excuse to bring me here" I said shaking my head.

We got up and headed to the bathroom to brush our teeth.

"For real, like they literally run an ENTERTAINMENT company and they get mad at you for having posters of an ARTIST. That's so stupid" Henri said when he spat out his toothpaste

"I know. They always use the stupidest excuses when they want to use me for the sake of their freaking companies" I said annoyed, rinsing my mouth and looking at Henri through the mirror

"This time is going to be different" I said with a smirk

"Let's let our freak flags fly"
