Pandora's Heart | d.cx ✓

CHAPTER 7

Nikita and Rio once again found themselves having to talk to Pandora for her actions. They opened the door and found Pandora standing by the window with her arms folded.

'What is wrong with you!?' Nikita was the first to ask, and it was surprising because she rarely overreacted. She was usually the one who comforted and consoled like a sweet mother, but not this time.

Pandora simply stared at Nikita, not saying anything. She wanted to apologize, she knew she was wrong, but she couldn't bring herself to do it.

'You promised you're not going to cause drama but it's the first thing you did!' Nikita continued. 'The director is really mad and he said if you don't wanna be in this show, you can leave and have our band's image ruined.'

'You're actually the reason we're here but you're not taking any responsibility for your actions.' Rio commented lowly next. She wasn't sure if it was appropriate for her to say that so directly, but she decided she had no option.

'I'm...sorry,' Pandora finally admitted what was in her heart. 'I'm trying okay?'

'It doesn't look like it.' Nikita answered. 'Look, the director made us finish filming without you. He said if tomorrow you're gonna act up again, he's gonna kick you off the show. Because that was so defiant.'

Pandora frowned. 'Fine.'

'Go and apologize to TNT, and promise you'll change.'

'I am not doing that.' Pandora laughed rudely. She couldn't imagine doing that...maybe she could apologize to the director, but not to TNT.

Nikita twisted her lip in annoyance and folded her arms. 'Pandora...'

'You're asking too much of me!'

'Fine, I knew it. Typical Pandora. Then just leave the show.' Without saying any word, Nikita walked out of Pandora's room. Rio was the next to do it as she followed Nikita, leaving Pandora all alone with mixed emotions. But the greatest emotion she felt was guilt.

Nightfall came, and everyone came down the stairs to have their stairs. Well, everyone except Pandora. TNT and the available Apogee members sat together once more, but everyone noticed there were only 9 people having supper.

'So your friend won't come down?' Jiaqi asked the two girls who were sitting next to each other.

Nikita was sitting next to Chengxin, and she couldn't be happier. She was sincerely hoping she wasn't blushing. But lucky for her, Chengxin didn't particularly look in her direction. She wasn't sure if that was actually good or not.

'I guess she won't.' Rio answered. The supper wasn't much since they weren't really in the mood to cook after they had had such a long day. But Pandora hadn't come down from her room since the afternoon.

'We seriously have to do something about that girl.' Jiaqi said to Chengxin, speaking in a voice that was barely audible to everyone else on the table. Seeing that the conversation was between Jiaqi and Chengxin, the rest of the members started to have their own conversations among each other.

'I know, and this is for our band and our fans as well. We need this feud to end.' Chengxin bit his thumbnail. 'I'll handle it. It's my responsibility.'

'Are you sure you can?'

Chengxin nodded. 'If I make it my mission that I'll get her to get along with us, then I'm very sure I'll be able to do it. Trust me.'

Chengxin felt himself actually committing to the task. He thought of himself as someone charismatic, many people liked him, he just needed to show his charismatic side to her. He was determined to do it.
