My Korean PopStar

Match set

We reached the airport in utter silence. After Ko made his surprising announcement the car fell silent and I managed to pretend I had fallen asleep to avoid having to confront Cho, Ko, and Darius’s eyes intently staring at me. My neck was so sore from laying completely stiff and trying to avoid leaning either way in the car. Once I attempted to slightly open my eyes to see Cho’s expression and his eyes were on me as if he knew I wasn’t sleeping. By the looks of it he wasn’t amused. I blushed a bit horrified and utterly  mortified. I groaned a little and rolled toward Ko resting my head on his shoulder. He gently patted my head with his hand. I could feel the studs on all four of his rings. It kind of felt relaxing. I could feel his grin across my forehead and I couldn’t help, but stiffen a little.

Lana and I walked beside each other, a few steps behind the boys to have some girl time. Darius’s strolled close beside us with his headphones in and his hands shoved into his pockets. For some reason I just knew he wasn’t really listening to music. I smirked and whispered to Lana.

“It seems we have a listener” I giggled.

Darius slightly scratched his head and made an attempt to yawn. Lana smiled a little pulling her hand into her chest and looking to the ground. I crossed my arms now watching the two.

“Well I’m so glad i’ll be enjoying a month in Korea. Now you and my brother can spend more time together. I see the little time you already spent together has been going swell” I laughed loudly and smirked at Lana.

Ko glanced back raising an eyebrow. He smiled widely showing off his gorgeous smile and I felt my mouth mirror his. My face felt flush and I looked away hesitantly.  Lana grabbed my arm.

“Well at least I won’t have two gorgeous guys fighting over me.” she whispered into my ear.

I shivered from feeling her breath against my neck and maybe of the idea of being fought over. I looked over at Cho poking my bottom lip out in a little pout. He didn’t seem to care. We hadn’t really even talked since the hospital. I hung my head and leaned into Lana sighing.

“yeah right.”

We checked our bags and managed to slip around the paparazzi. I hugged Lana tightly fighting off the thought of being away from her for so long. She grinned, but I could tell she too was struggling with the idea. Darius wrapped his arms around the both of us and we laughed.

“Okay guys....okay,” I sighed “I’m going to be fine.”

“Yeah!” Ko grinned coming closer to our little group hug. “She’s got me now. I’ll watch out for her.”

I bit my bottom lip and tried to stifle a grin.

“heh!” Darius said looking at the ground then at Ko.  He held Ko’s gaze before adding dryly, “yeah totally.”

Cho was awkwardly silent the entire time. He still had his headphones around his neck and now he was just watching all of us. I looked passed Ko and attempted to smile his way, but he completely ignored me pulling his headphones onto his head. I scrunched up my eyebrows and glared at him. My bangs went into my eyes and I attempted to look angry.

“What’s with the face?” Ko asked resting one hand under his chin and having the other hold up his elbow as if he were thinking.

“I’ll be right back.” I said through gritted teeth.

I stormed over to Cho. As much as I thought he was cute no boy was going to ignore me when I was trying so hard to be nice. I really wasn’t expecting much. I already figured that moment in the car when it seemed like we were going to kiss was never going to happen again. For all I knew he had women throwing themselves at him all the time, not to mention his troubled love life with Julia.

“hey Cho,” I said weakly loosing my confidence.

He continued to stare at me almost annoyed. Then he reluctantly removed his headphones and stared down at me with those piercing chocolate eyes. I became conscious of how close we were and attempted to step back, but he walked closer and smiled. I nearly fell over after seeing such a change of character. I stumbled a little and he grabbed my arm to steady me. I fell against him and looked down embarrassed and pulling at my bangs.

“You need something?” He asked looking concerned.

“Uh yeah. Um well why haven’t we talked more? I mean aren’t you excited?” I asked the ground.

He held my chin and lifted it slightly forcing me to look at him. I was mesmerized by his eyes. I bit my lip feeling embarrassed and then a flash lit up my left cheek. I squinted as the next few  flashes were more rapid. I struggled to look toward the offending lights. Reporters had some how surrounded us and began snapping pictures and throwing out questions.

“Have you already seduced the contest winner?” a voice from the crowd asked.

I looked at Cho mortified. He smirked down at me putting his hands in his pocket and leaning closer to me. I glared at him and pushed him away.

“Well,” Cho said replying to my earlier question “now that you mention it I am a bit excited.”

“ugh I can’t believe you.” I continued to glare.

I stormed through the crowd and continued further into the airport. Lana was calling my name, but I was too angry to look back. How could he act like such a jerk. Uck. I can’t believe he would attempt to seduce me in front of the paparazzi, as if I were that easy. As if his face was so appealing that I couldn’t help myself. Well that boy was going to regret it.

I felt a hand reach for my shoulder and I turned around. Ko looked at me with worry in his eyes.

“Hey there. You okay?”

“Fine.” I mumbled crossing my arms.

“You know you can tell Oppa anything.” he said twisting one blonde strand of his hair in his fingers.

I let out a big breath I didn’t know I was holding. Ko laughed as he watched my cheeks literally deflate. I patted my face and stared up at him with a questioning look on my face.

“Oppa.” I hesitated “Can I stay with you?”

Just throwing this update out there. Feedback is always lovely. I'm hoping to add more. Wish me luck and remember you guys are awesome!!! :3
