Paradox

Chapter 4

"Today you will get a new haircut for your next drama...after that I think you have a free time." My manager as usual keeping me up to date with my agenda. Usually before I start filming drama I will asked my manager not to take too much works except doing some live on social media to greet my fans.

"I'll drive by myself if that's okay ? You can take a day off." I said to my manager. He nodded his head, "Call me if you need anything." He said to me and I nodded my head.

After changing into something more casual like white shirt and jeans, I took my bag and wear my heels to go to my salon. I don't know why but I feel like want to wear a cute heels for today.

I think after my appointment later, I'll visit Yoona and Leander on their place, if they are not having a plan today of course.

I drive my white car towards the salon when someone call me. "Mila here." I said when my phone connect to the bluetooth.

"Hey...uhm, it's me, Aslan. I just need to call you after what happen a couple of days ago." He said awkwardly.

"Oh...I mean, it's okay though. It is good for you to let it out. It's okay to be vulnerable, you know ?" I said to him. I think we could talk like a normal people now after that show.

"It's not me. You know that really well."

"Aslan, you need to be vulnerable sometime and let people know what's going on in your head, life.."

"But I don't want to be vulnerable around you."

I don't said anything to him. This is so awkward for me. "Mila, are you still there?"

"Yeah, I'm driving now actually. I got a bit distracted, sorry."

"Ah, I shouldn't call you when you're driving. But where is your manager?" He asked me.

"I give him a day off. My agenda only going to salon today and after that I will have my day off too."

"Can I meet you ?" He asked suddenly.

"Why ?" I asked him cautiously.

I know that Aslan doesn't expect this question form me. "Uhm, I need to see you honestly." He said openly to me.

"I don't know. I have plan actually.."

"Can't I come with you?"

I let my breath out, "You hate this person. I can't take you with me." I said this time.

"Are you meeting that guy? The one who punched my face ?" He asked me. This time I can't help but laugh after listening to his tone.

"That guy is a very dearest friend of mine, Aslan. You better not doing anything." I told him.

"He like you." He said to me suddenly

"He is engaged Aslan. Leander is engaged to Yoona." I told him.

"What?! Yoona? From the same management as me ?" He asked me.

I park my car and took my phone. "Yes, the same Yoona. I'm surprised that you don't know that they are a couple." I said to him and get into the salon

I walk towards my private room, " I'll talk to you later, Aslan. Bye."

I cut the phone call and greet my hairdresser

"You will get a haircut today...But it won't be that extreme." She said to me.

"I hate to cut my hair. But I can't deliver the message that my new drama have with my long hair though."

"Your hair will grown again eventually, Mila."

"I'll be there in forty minutes. Okay, bye.", I'm telling Yoona that I'm gonna meet her after this.

I walk to my car and about to to get into my car when I see someone leaning on my car with a mask & black cap. I know who it is and I can't believe that he dare doing this.

"What are you doing here ?" I ask him and walk faster towards him. I look around us, make sure that there is no reporter or our fans at all.

"Waiting on you." He said and I could tell that he is smiling from his eyes.

"We could into trouble for this." I said I open my car.

"Come on, let's live a little, Mila. Don't you tired always keeping your reputation all clean ?" He asked me.

I shook my head, "No, I don't want to make people around me worried." I said and asking him to get into my car. It's not the right thing to do, but I can't leave him alone there.

"Don't worry, I use my cap and mask though. What's your plan after this ?"

I looked at him, " I don't wear any mask or cap...I will be the one who gonna be on the news if they see me with someone in my car. And for your question, I'll meet Yoona." I said to him and starting my car.

"Ah, I want to meet her too. It's been too long."

"You can meet her alone." I said to him.

He only turn his head towards window. "Aslan, I'm serious. Where should I drop you ?" I asked him.

"Did you leave your car ?" I asked him again.

He looked at me, " No. My manager drop me here. I do not drive a car." He said.

"Give me your address then."

"Ah, if I give you my address...Will you come to my place, later ?" He asked me. I give him a deadpan look.

"Are you kidding me now?" I asked him

"Mila, let's clear what happen between us. You can ask me anything about what happen and I will tell you. But you, also need to tell me everything what happen in your life for the past five years too."

"Why do you want to know ?"

"I'm the one that cause part of your nightmare...I feel responsible to tell you everything and come clean about it." He said to me.

"Fine. Where is your address?"

"Great, but you already past the turns.."

"Aslan!"
