Please don't chase me

You reap what you sow

A wave of silence bored into everyone's frozen bodies. A sense of disbelief slapped into everyone's blank faces. The paparazzi, the security guards, the staff and the guests at the entrance all blinked a few times speechless at this display of... well... utter confidence?

The paparazzi looked at each other and hesitantly lowered their cameras. Their eyes instantly conveyed telepathy developed on the spot.

'H-Hey, you guys see that too?'

'Y-Yeah... erm what should we do?'

'Dunno... take a pic?'

'You do it first.'

'No, you.'

'You.'

'You.'

'This silence is uncomfortable, shouldn't we shout or something?'

'Act like wild hyenas?'

This dumbfounded silence continued until one brave contender stepped forward and laughed, "Headline and title page check!"

These words brought out the fighting spirits in everyone. Right. This made the perfect cover story!

Walking down the red carpet was the most desired man in the country, the CEO of M.M. It was already a miracle he attended a social event but the world wonder he brought with him was too shocking. A woman! The CEO actually publicly brought a woman with him!

It was just that, well... how could they describe this ominous and weird feeling? The woman had the perfect body. Slender, frail-looking and a tiny waist, long legs that showed through the champagne coloured satin dress that reached her attractive ankles. Her cream high heels mixed perfectly with the bracelet on her arm.

Yet the most important part... The face! The head! What the fuck was up with it?

It looked like a mannequin with a trash bag over its head was attempting to become a model! Judging from the figure, the woman the CEO brought must be gorgeous but they couldn't see it!

Why? Because!

Because that damned woman had the CEO's fucking jacket wrapped all around her head, needing the CEO to guide her! And what the fuck was up with the CEO's calm face as if this was the most natural and normal thing on earth to do?

Hey, hey! You both! Have some common sense! Aren't you afraid to be slandered, trashed and made fun of? Be aware of your surroundings! You're at one of the top events in the world and you let your girl dress like that? She's going to become a laughing stock! We'll put her on the front page! Don't you care about this humiliation?

M.M's CEO's dating a mysterious, deranged girl! Fuck, you think we won't do that? We need this story in order to live our lives. That's the only way for us to make money, so don't sue us later when you discover your ridiculous self on the front page of every bloody magazine and newspaper and be the damn talk everywhere for a whole year!

But the most ridiculous thing was how confident and unbothered these two were! Heaven!

Click! Click! Snap! Snap! Thunderous flashes went off.

"Tch," Yana should've known this was the worst approach she could've taken. Instead, to disperse attention, she magically attracted it like flies rotten poop.

"Are you ok? Hold on tightly," Luka held Yana closely to him and led her to the entrance of the hotel.

Yana wanted to bawl and drown in the sea of her tears. She was making a fool out of them both but that idiot never questioned it nor made her feel bad. He only accepted it and went along!

What a complete idiot! Yet Yana felt a bit touched. She was stupid. She should've brought a mask with her or whatever. Anything else would've been better than this circus.

Finally, the front entrance theatre was over and they stepped into the entrance hall of the hotel, but Yana still didn't dare to take the jacket off. Only until they were alone.

The only thing Yana could see was black. She had tightly wrapped Luka's jacket around her head, so it was quite suffocating. Yana was also afraid that her makeup and hair were completely ruined. She has sacrificed more than this ordeal was worth for.

"A room," it seemed like Luka could read Yana's thoughts and instantly went to book the suite. Then he took her to the lift and pulled out his phone.

Yana heard him talking, "Bring the-"

Bing.

Yana wobbled a bit while Luka gently led her into the lift. She clearly heard his conversation ordering Bao to bring her something to get her makeup and hair fixed. Yana was glad that it was something and not someone.

The last thing she wanted was a stranger seeing them like this.

"You don't want to take it off? My little mummy?" finally, Luka started to tease her.

"Not yet, only when we arrive," Yana said but only, "Mhmm mhmmm mhmmm mmm," came out yet Luka perfectly understood.

Grasping this opportunity, he cheekily held her hand again until Yana sat on the sofa in the suite while Luka unwrapped the jacket for Yana.

"Y'know," Luka started and there was an amused glint in his eyes, "It was kind of useless to do this. There'll be people seeing your face anyways."

Yana shook her hair and took a deep breath, "At least they won't take the pictures of me."

"But your identity will still be found out."

"That's what you're aiming for, right? Having everyone know me."

"Why not? The world should know the woman beside me i-"

"Screw off," Yana put her hand on Luka's oncoming face and pushed him away. He was having a great time teasing her. Yana regretted feeling a bit touched before.

Argh. Yana squealed inside. She knew this was the dumbest thing she could've done! It was in the spur of the moment. She panicked, ok? The clerk was about to open the door and Yana didn't think things through. She was only concerned about not showing her face but now she made matters worse.

Instead of 'This is the woman next to M.M's CEO' it would be now 'The mysterious mummified crazy woman next M.M's CEO.'

She could already see all the mocking and hate comments. If she didn't pull off such a stupid idea, then Yana would probably only receive hate comments and death threats.

But now she even made a fool out of herself. Drowning in her thoughts Yana pulled on her hair before Luka stopped her, "It's fine."

Yana's face contorted, "It's fine for you! Because it doesn't involve you! How can you shamelessly say it's fine? You-"

"Handsome male whom I adore very much?" Luka grinned before sending himself to death, "Well, you didn't need to do such a dumb move."

Even as a grim reaper Yana was too adorable in Luka's eyes.
