Flowers of Despair || Haruto from TREASURE

forty-three

May 12, 2022

Aecha saw the piles of boxes being placed inside their house, speechless with what was happening. She looked at her daughter who looked like she was having a rough day. Eunhye just stared at the boxes being placed inside the house as well. The moving assistants gave her a nod as a sign that everything has been placed inside and left.

"Eunhye, what is all this?" Aecha asked her.

"My stuff." She answered with a hoarse voice.

"Yes I know it's your stuff but why is it here? You have a dorm."

"I don't have one anymore." Eunhye walked towards the living room and placed down her denim jacket on the sofa.

"What do you mean? Did they kick you out of the dorm? Do you need to buy a new one?" She followed her daughter to the living room.

Eunhye sat on the couch and sighed. "They terminated my contract and I can't live there anymore. If you're going to ask why nothing has been announced, it's because they're going to pretend I'm still part of the group even if I'm not."

Aecha gave her a look that was familiar, it was the same look she gave her when she does when she gets mad. "What do you mean?" She said sternly. "Hand me my phone, I need to call our chauffeur to bring me to that entertainment company of yours."

"Mom no, don't do that."

"Why? What's their problem, is it because of your rumors that went around because of that pathetic media? If they wanted to remove those rumors of yours they could've lowered their pride and asked us, they can't handle royalties images on their own." Aecha raised her voice and massaged her temples.

"Well of course it's because of that but it's best if we don't meddle with them, they might start acting harsh to the other girls..." Eunhye softly said.

Aecha sighed in response. "I know you love those girlies, they're like my children as well. If they touch any of them I will not hesitate to sue. Do we need to shut down some companies today? Tell me."

"No, just... I don't know. Sueing would be good but Haruto's taking care of that already I don't wanna get involved so much anymore." Eunhye shook her head.

"You're dating him right? Why didn't you tell us in the first place? Your father and Akio could've released a statement from the palace to welcome each of you into the kingdom."

"About that..." Eunhye bit her lip. "We're not actually dating... it was a plan gone wrong."

"Goodness gracious, you really are teenagers." Aecha facepalmed.

"We didn't know it would make things worse! Things have happened already, there's no turning back." She explained.

"So what now? You hide in the limelight and pretend to be a member?"

"Sadly, yes." Eunhye said. "I have an idea though... not sure if you'll agree to it."

Her mom gave her a nod to proceed. "I don't really wanna waste my time here at home so uhm, maybe I can go back to France?"

"Darling, are you sure about that? Don't you want to resolve some matters here first?"

"Yeah... I miss home. My real home." She said and looked down at the floor.

Aecha sighed. "Of course you can come to France. You just need to do something before leaving, though."

"What is it?"

"You need to release a public statement about your situation. Tell them you're on a hiatus because of some family matters in France." Aecha said.

Eunhye sighed. "Okay."

"Okay good. I'll help you with the speech and I'll tell your Dad." She stood up from the couch and walked away.

"Oh and Eunhye another thing I want you to do before you leave," Her mom turned back before going upstairs. "Is to say goodbye. I don't want you to hurt the same people like you did before."
