Chapter 42

Zee pov

I felt a surge of happiness as I woke up next to nhu, his warm body cuddling mine. I leaned over and gave him a gentle kiss on the cheek, hoping to wake him up. He groaned and pulled the sheets over his head, trying to hide from the morning light.
I giggled and pulled the blanket, trying to get a glimpse of his face. "Noo stop I look ugly." He protested from under the sheets. "You have never looked ugly nhu." I reassured him as I yanked the sheets. "Come on, let me see your beautiful eyes." I coaxed him. He peeked out and smiled shyly. I kissed his nose and hugged him. "We are flying home tonight how do you feel?" I asked him. "homesick" he muttered from under the sheets. "I know, me too. But we had a great time here, right?" I said. "Yeah, we did. It was amazing." He agreed. "what do you want to see or do before that?" I inquired. "Hmm, maybe we can go to that museum you wanted to visit. Or we can just stay here and cuddle." He suggested snuggling closer to me.

We enjoy every moment at Lotte World, a huge amusement park nearby. nhu is thrilled by the rides there. We hold hands on the roller coasters, kiss on the bumper cars and cuddle in the haunted house. We also explore the museum. We savor the tasty street food, like tteokbokki, hotteok and odeng. I gaze into nhu's eyes and whisper, "Are you ready to go home?" He looks worried. "We didn't pack! How are we going to catch our flight?" He checks his phone to see the time. "Don't stress, I had someone pack our stuff." I reassure him and give him a hug.

Nhu pov

I get a message from a new unknown number: 'How much should I sell you and Zee's pictures for?'
'I guess the highest bidder would do'
'Check the news'
My heart sinks as I check my phone on the way to the airport and see pictures of Zee and I having romantic moments in South Korea. They can't even be mistaken for platonic moments. The ones that make me feel violated are the ones of Zee and I going in and out of our hotel room. My eyes fill with tears while reading the article. YOUNG IDOL SLEEPING WITH CEO'S FOR MUSIC DEALS.
I feel sick to my stomach and I rush to the bathroom to throw up. "Nhu, are you OK?" Zee asks, patting and rubbing my back as I vomit. "Was it something you ate? You did eat a lot of new things." Zee says, worried.
"No, it's not that." I manage to say between heaves.

"Then what is it? You look pale and scared." He says, holding my hair back.
I feel the walls spinning. "I'll tell you later, OK? Just give me some water." I say, trying to sound calm.He stands me up and gives me a glass of water. He checks his watch. "If you don't feel well enough to fly, we can postpone our flight, no problem." He says.
"No, I want to leave. I want to leave now." I say in a shaky voice. I start shaking so bad that he has to take the glass of water out of my hand. "Nhu, what happened?" He asks, hugging me tight to stop my shaking."Let's leave, I'll tell you in the car." I say, wasting no time leaving the hotel. "Nhu, you are acting weird." Zee says, following me to the car.

When I finally get to the car, I break down in tears. "Nhu?" Zee calls me as he comforts me.I show him my phone. He looks at the messages and the article. His face turns pale and angry. "Who did this?" He asks, clenching his fists.
"I don't know. Another anonymous number." I sob."Don't worry, Nhu. We'll find out who did this and make them pay. They can't get away with this." He says, trying to sound reassuring.

"But what about our careers? Our fans? Our families? They'll hate us for this." I say, feeling hopeless.
"They won't hate us, Nhu. They'll understand that we love each other and that we didn't do anything wrong. You're not sleeping with anyone for music deals. We're just two people who fell in love." He says, kissing my forehead.
"I love you, Zee." I say, hugging him tight.
"I love you too, Nhu. And nothing will change that." He says, starting the car.

We drive to the airport in silence, holding hands. We try to ignore the buzzing of our phones as more messages and calls come in from our managers, friends, family, and fans. We know we have to face them eventually, but for now we just want to be together.

We check in our luggage and go through security. We put on our masks and sunglasses to hide our identities and avoid being recognized by anyone. We hope no one has seen the article yet or knows that we are on this flight.

We board the plane and find our seats. We sit next to each other and lean on each other's shoulders. We put on our headphones and listen to some music to calm ourselves down. We hope that everything will be OK when we land.
We don't know what awaits us when we get back home. We don't know how our lives will change because of this scandal. We don't know if we will be able to stay together or if we will have to break up for our careers' sake.
But we do know one thing: we love each other more than anything in the world. And we will fight for our love no matter what.

We sneaked into my apartment, hoping to avoid any prying eyes that might recognize us. .We didn't want to risk being ambushed by the paparazzi at his place. "Let me make you some tea." he said, heading to the kitchen. I collapsed on the couch, feeling drained and exhausted. He came back with a hot cup of tea and placed it in front of me. I didn't touch it. I just closed my eyes. His cologne mingled with the tea's aroma, creating a strangely soothing scent. I felt like crying after all the insults I had endured today. "Don't worry, nhu, I'll sort this out." he said, rubbing my back. He always said that. And he always delivered somehow. He lifted the cup to my lips, but I pushed it away. "I just want to sleep." I said.
"Come on, nhu, you need to drink something. You're dehydrated." he said, gently nudging me.
"I don't care. I just want this day to end." I said, turning away from him. I don't mean to be difficult but felt angry and unfortunately he was the only I had. I had never had been called out my name this much before.
" It's not your fault. Those people are just jealous and mean. They don't know you like I do." he said, cupping my face.
I felt tears rolling down my cheeks.

"Okay, I'll be back in a couple of hours. I need to talk to my dad." he said, breaking the kiss. I just nod and try to sleep.
