Pick Me Up

Scandal

          "You haven't even fully debuted yet but you're alREADY IN A SCANDAL?" Jae paced back and forth. "It was an accident!" I raised ny hands innocently. "Well the picture doesn't show it was an accident," He sat down and sighed. "Has Yi Fan spoke up yet about the situation?" I twiddled my thumbs and waited for a response. Jae looked out the window and said, "No, his manager won't let him." I became irritated, "What do you mean won't let him? THIS WHOLE THING IS HIS FAULT," I threw my hands up in irritation. All of a sudden the phone rang, Jae sighed and got up to answer it. I sighed and stared at the floor and tried to listen to the conversation;

           Jae: "Yah.... ok," nods slightly.
           ???: ----
           Jae: "At 5? Are you sure? We need to get this fixed as soon as possible," glances at me but then lookw down.
           ???: ----
           Jae: Ok. We'll see you then, Bye.

I watched as he hung up the phone and sat back down, "I'm canceling your dance practice at 5, but Emily and Kaela will still go." I looked at him, "What? Why?" He put his hands together, "We need to get this scandal under our control so we're going to have a meeting with Wu Fan and his manager." I nodded, "Good. I have questions to ask."

         Jae and I walked into an office room that had several of those chairs with the wheels. We sat down, I would roll around in them but I'm not in the mood at the moment. The door opened and in walked Wu Fan and his manager. Jae stood up and bowed and then smacked me in the shoulder to do the same. I sighed and stood up and bowed but then sat back down. Jae shook hands with the manager then Kris, "Nice to see you again." Kris nodded and sat down infront of me, he looked at me and I turned my head to face the wall. How could you not tell them that this was an accident?? Jae spoke up, "You already know why we're here but we need each of you to explained what exactly happened." Kris cleared his throat, "I needed to ask Ahri a question so I took her outside but there was a festival going on so I tried to find a more quiet place and there happened to be an alleyway." Sounds like a plot for a murder novel, I rolled my eyes. "There was a group of girls heading down the all way so I pressed Ahri against the wall to shield my face so they couldn't see who I was. They got closer and one of the girls accidentally shoved into me and then I fell onto... Ahri. Then there was a flash and I pulled her away into the crowd so we could lose the paparazzi." Jae nodded and then tapped my shoulder, I looked at him, and he said, "Now your side of the story." I glanced at Kris, "Basically what he said." Jae sighed, "I don't know how we're going to prove the paparazzi wrong, but we could probably shove some other juicy gossip down their throats." I tilted my head, "How?" Jae cleared his throat, "Hana has a crush on Kris right?" I nodded hesitantly and saw Kris' eyes grow wide and his cheeks become red. "Well, they could reveal that they're dating and that she's going to be the female lead in Somewhere Only We know." I shook my head, "That's awful! She truly likes him, I don't want him to fake date her while she actually thinks they're dating." Kris nodded, "I agree, That's not my style." Jae looked at us both, "What do you want me to do then?" I sighed, I'm going to regret saying this, "I have an idea. Why don't Kris and I date?" I used air quotes around the word date, "Then there's no more drama about the picture. We could date for a month then break up because the long distance thing wasn't working." Jae clapped his hands together,"Thats perfect! Are you two willing to fake date? you do realize you will have to publicly hold hands, comment about eachother, go on dates, you know the usual couple stuff." I looked at Kris and he looked at me and we both nodded silently. I looked at the floor, and Jae put his hand on my shoulder, "Are you sure? Hana might not speak to you for awhile." I nodded, "I'll b---" A lady walked in and walked up to Jae and spoke in his ear, she then turned around and left. "This is perfect, this will put let gossip on you guys but more on Hana and Sehun." I looked up at him, "What are you saying?" He looked at me and spoke quietly, "They're dating." My heart broke into a million pieces, you doon't even like him Kaela! Why would you do this? I looked at Kris, is it because the picture?  I became angry, I told you it was an accident! I would never do it to hurt you, but yet you.... I smiled deviously and got up, I walked up to Kris and moved his chair to face me, he had a surpried expression. I looked him the eyes, "Why not start now?" I then kissed him on the lips.
