The Mess We Made

Chapter 10

Danny POV

"I completed my end of the deal. You told me to get her on the table in a week and I got her in a day. I did something Spencer was not able to do for 2 years mom" I said as I wore my hoodie and fixed my headphones.

"Ok you can start attending meetings but no media attention." I waved bye as i left the hotel. "Of course not. To be honest Spencer can be the face of this deal. She put 2 years into this i think she deserves it." I kinda lied. I still don't know how to tell Ryujin who i am.

"How's the deal going?"

"I'm agreeing to her terms but I'm changing the standard from 1 year to 3 years. I'm doing this cause her recent album seems to be doing well." She said. I was walking around in the parking lot trying to find my ride.

"Mom, all her albums do well. She's a good person. This media just makes her out to be some serial dater. It's nothing new. We both know the media has written the worst about our family." I said as I finally found Mun-Ho's bike. "Let's talk later I have to go somewhere" I said as I fixed my bag and wore the helmet.

"Where you going?" she asked curiously.

"I wanted to try out this restaurant so my friend and I are going there." I put the key in the ignition.

"Ok don't do anything dumb. I'm going to call Alfie." I looked at my phone to see the timing.

"He's out with A-jin right now, call in half an hour. He should be home by then."

"Who's A-jin?" she asked with a knowing tone.

"She's just a friend of his but I think he has a crush on her. She's nice. I work with her brother. Nice girl. I think she got into some college and is studying to be a doctor." I said as I checked the address Ryujin had given me. This is going to be a long ride. She's literally on the other side of the town and I'm already late. Once mom hung up I started riding.

It took me an hour and a half to get there as the traffic was horrible.

I parked my bike in the back like she asked me to and texted her that 'I'm here'. I was standing here for an hour now and had got no reply. "What shit is this?" I called her up but no one picked up. I went to the entrance of the building to see the crowd was still there.

That means she's still in the building.

To Ryujin: 10 more minutes if you're not here I'm leaving.

Exactly 10 minutes later as I was getting on my bike. A girl in an oversized hoodie with a black mask rushed towards me. "Let's go before someone sees us" I realized it was Ryujin.

"Wear this first" I put the helmet over her head and locked it in place. I put on my helmet and started to ride.

"Where are we going tho? Our reservation is gone long back" I said as I realized the time.

"I'm sorry the schedule ran longer than I thought it would." She said in a cute voice making me smile. No you're pissed, stay pissed. "Take a left from here, I know just the place." She said and I followed her direction. 15 minutes later we were in a market. I parked the bike on the side of the street. "What are we doing here?" I asked confused.

"Come on I'm hungry." She said as I got off the bike. We stopped at a kimbap stall. She ordered all excitedly. "Aren't you on a diet?" I asked her. I could see the smile on her face even though she had a mask on. "I will just work it off tomorrow," she said as she wore her hood and pulled her mask down to eat. "I will be running around all day tomorrow," she said as she just finished her roll in 2 bites I hadn't even started.

"Why?" I asked as I paid and took a bite. She pulled me to another food stall. For someone who doesn't know how to cook she sure loves her food. "I have a variety show shooting." I nodded like I knew what a variety show is. She saw my face and smiled, "It's like an interview plus we play games." She explained.
