The Mess We Made

Chapter 23

Ryujin's POV

I woke up to a bright light shining on my face. Opening my eyes my head started hurting badly. I got up to walk to the bathroom when Unnie came in "oh ok you're up. Get ready so you can get breakfast before you go for rehearsals. I'll pack your bags so we can leave right after the concert." She said as she started picking up the clothes that were laying around.

"Is the extra room booked? Go Oppa plans to come to Italy." I said as I yawned and started stretching.

"Yes, it's booked. You have no schedule before the Italy concert so relax and stop drinking so much." She said pointing at the empty bottle of wine.

"Yes ma'am ahh also before I forget I plan to go around Italy with Oppa." I said as I took off my clothes and entered the bathroom.

"Well thank you for telling me and not sneaking out of the room like previous cities." I heard her say sarcastically. "Thank god paps weren't able to photograph you. Otherwise we would have had too many scandals by now." She sighed.

"Do you think they have lost interest in me?" I yelled out from the shower. "It's kinda too weird not being on the news for so long..." i said thinking about how every alternate day i had a stupid scandal.

"This is called being a normal celebrity. You don't need to keep having stupid scandals to be relevant." She said,

"You are talking like I created these scandals!" I said looking towards the door but quickly closed my eyes as the shower gel went into my eyes.

I turned off the shower once I was done and wore the bathrobe. Quickly brushing my teeth and doing my morning skin routine I got out of the bathroom to find unnie collecting all the alcohol bottles.

"The band was also here last night. I swear I didn't drink all that alone." I said raising my hands up in defence.

"Aishh forget it, let's just go." She said as she picked up the trash bag with all the bottles and placed it outside her room door. Her room is next to mine.

I quickly changed into a pair of joggers and cropped tank top. Wearing a loose plaid shirt over it.

We went down and had breakfast after which we went to the stadium I was playing at.

While warming up for the rehearsals I asked unnie "what did that shop owner say?"

"That it was one of a kind handmade lighter and it's going to be hard to make another one of it as his dad has passed away. The son said he can make a replica using a machine but it's going to be expensive because the old one was a pure platinum case and the 22K gold engraving was hand done so it won't be as beautiful as the previous one. They recognise the lighter because the photo you sent me has the store name and serial number on it. Where the hell did you even lose it? You never told me that a lighter was so expensive." She was shocked at the fact that the lighter was made with actual platinum.

"I didn't know it was so expensive either. I figured out where it was made because it had the store name written on it and that place is really famous for making custom lighters. It used to be my birth parents not sure if it was my moms or dads as both their initials are KR same as mine. The only reason I had it well photographed is because the orphanage photographed it as I had it on me when I came in and it looked expensive."

"Well your orphanage seems like a good place. My friend's orphanage sold any of the kids belongings they came in with if they were expensive."

"It was a government run orphanage so they had to document every single thing a kid came in with. Plus I was a special case. Because the accident was heavily covered by the media at that time." I shrugged. Trying to figure out where I lost it. "Let it be, I don't wanna make a replica if it won't feel the same." I sighed.
