After marrying Jin at age 18, Xiaoyu was befuddled by his arrogant personality. However, under that tough exterior, he was tormented by something -the Devil Gene. Xiaoyu didn't know how to adapt to her new life after finding out her husband was a de...
"Of course Mom, I'm on my way to Uncle Li's house."
"Alright, I'm glad you're safe. Tell Li to give me a call sometime. I'm worried about Grandpa."
"Alright Mom, will do."
Honey hung up her phone and tucked it back into her tan coat pocket. She took a moment to look around. China is a really nice place; did Xiaoyu really grow up here? Although it's a little different than her hometown in Japan, Honey felt at ease there.

Honey made her way to an unfamiliar home, it wasn't the mansion her mother grew up in. She checked the directions given to her on a crumbled piece of paper. They seemed right.
"Hello? Is anyone here?" Honey yelled as she stepped into the lonely peach garden. No one was in sight. Honey took a few steps closer to the home as she searched for her uncle.
"Hey! Who are you?!"
Honey was startled by the squeaky Mandarin she heard and looked down to see a young elementary girl.
"Hello, I'm looking for my uncle." Honey bent down to the height of the girl as she replied in Mandarin.
"Your uncle? What's his name?"
"His name is Li. Do you know him?"
"Li? That's my daddy's name!" The girl gasped excitingly. She took Honey's hand and brought her into her home.
Honey was shocked at the little girl's approach and quickly took her shoes off at the doorway. The little girl brought her into the family room where two adults were sitting. She noticed a woman with very milky skin. She was quite elegant.
"Uncle Li." Honey bowed as she noticed her uncle sitting next to the woman, she looked to be a bit younger than him.
"Honey, is that you?! What brings you here?" He responded, astounded at her appearance.
"I have a primier that I'm doing. I'm a model now."
"Oh really, my wife here is an actress." He smirked.
"Hi, I'm Liu Yan. You can call me Aunt Yan." She smiled.
"It's nice to meet you." Honey smiled as she bowed.
"And I'm Bua!" The little girl excitedly breathed as she looked up at Honey with beaming eyes.
"Nice to meet you too Bua. I'm your cousin Honey."
"How's your mother? I hope sis is doing alright..." Li murmured through his cup of tea.
"She's doing fine. Uncle Lee fixed the robots so she now has some help."
"Cool. Man, it seems like yesterday when Jin was running the company and now she's doing it. It must've been hard on her."
Honey clenched her necklace as she remembered her father's image. She missed him so much. Even though it's been two years since he died, it felt like just recently he vanished. Honey felt her phone buzz and noticed that her manager messaged her that the premier would start soon.
"Um, Uncle Li, would you mind if I stay here for a couple days?"
"Of course not! You're my niece. It would be nice to have you stay with us."
"Thanks! I'll be getting ready then."
...
When Honey arrived, she was bomboarded with the flashing lights of cameras and interviewers. After her interview, she was able to catch up to Mr. Minamoto.
"There you are. You look gorgeous! Great job with your interview, that's going to spread the word about you more. When we leave for Japan in a couple days, I want to do a multi-themed photoshoot."
"Multi-themed?"
"Yeah. That means plenty of outfits and different scenes. With these images, I'm quite sure you'll go global."
"Wow. Really?" Honey asked excitedly, "Let's do it."
"Alright, as soon as we get back, let's start right away."
With that, he left to go talk to some of the photographers. Coincidentally, Honey bumped into Yoshiro.
"Oh, hi Honey."
"Hi Yoshi. I didn't know you were going to be here."
"Yeah, I was invited to come."
"I see."
Yoshiro ordered a drink from one of the caterers and gave Honey one. He noticed how she was inspecting the drink as if it was poisoned.
"What's wrong?"
"I've never really....drunk alcohol before."
"Really?" Yoshiro smiled, "Try it, it's the good stuff."
"Well, I guess it's okay." Honey takes a sip out of the glass elegantly and makes a sour face, "It tastes so weird!"
Yoshiro laughed, "You'll get used to it." He looked around and noticed all of the celebrities and cameras everywhere. "Hey, you wanna get outta here? It's kinda crowded."
"Sure. It's noisy here."
Honey followed him to his car and rode in the car patiently to the place he rented. Yoshiro's hair looked nice but she admired his appearance in general. She was suprised to not see Miyu at the premier. She followed Yoshiro up to his door and when they walked in it was pitch black and Honey could smell the alcohol on Yoshiro's breath. She could tell he was slighty drunk.
Yoshiro suddenly began to kiss Honey without even turning the lights on. Honey was so shocked at his approach and she almost bumped into what felt like a huge container of some kind.
"Yoshi!" Honey finally said.
"What?"
"Don't you think this is too much right now?"
"What's too much?"
Honey finally found the light switch and showed him that he unzipped her dress. He held onto his well groomed hair as if he was almost going to pull it out.
"Oh no... Honey, I'm so sorry....I shouldn't drink in front of you because it'll make me do pervy things I'm so sorry."
"It's...fine...Yoshi."
Yoshiro suddenly closed his eyes gently and fell into Honey's arms. He was sleeping? Drinking makes him sleepy? Shocked, Honey dragged him to the couch and fixed her dress. She kissed him on the forehead and decided to let him rest and went back to her uncle's house.
