Trina
Hi bebe, do you have plans today?

Charles
Non amour, I was just planning to stay with you and relax at home

I instantly smiled when I read Charles refer to my house as his "home".
Today is finally the day that I would show him a glimpse of my world.

Trina
Okay that's good. Come over as soon as you can bebe, I'm ready to show you, the me before I met you.

Charles
I'm looking forward to it mon amour.

"You're here early" I teased Charles who was already in front of my house just less than ten minutes since I sent him the message.

"Of course my love, you're finally ready to let me in so I rushed here" I laughed at his excitement before letting him in.

"Now you have to understand that I haven't really been doing this since my move to monaco so I'm a little bit rusty. Don't be too harsh on me"

"I would never be harsh on you trina" he said in what I feel like his softest voice.

I lead him to a room that was always locked in my house. No one was allowed to enter, not even Sofia or Charles has seen this place.

"Charles, welcome to my world" I told him before opening the door and welcoming him in.

"Wow, this place is amazing trina. Thank you for showing this to me"

"When I left, I thought I was done. I told myself that I would never write or sing again but then I met Sofia and then you. I tried to keep away from music but each moment I was with you and this little family we had with the other drivers, the hole that was in my heart started being filled with happy memories. Each heartache that I had before coming to Monaco slowly started to heal. Thank you Charles, you have no idea how much you mean to me"

"Mon amour..."

I showed him my wikipedia page, my profile in korea and the works I did before we met. I showed him my public instagram account with followers as many as his. Slowly, I introduced to him the Luna Kim that I left in Korea. I showed him all the vile articles I can find written about me. I can see Charles tensing while reading the comments of people about me.

"I was scared of everything Charles. I can't go out of my house because I was in fear that people would actually kill me. I was harassed beyond imagination and all I wanted was to escape and hide. I vowed to never write a song again. You always say that I helped you but charles, you do that for me too. So now, I want you to be the first to hear something I wrote while thinking of you. It's written in Korean but I'll show you the translation after"
