The Sweetest Escape

CHAPTER 7

ELY's P.O.V.

The door of the conference room opened and the person I was waiting for finally arrived but I was not expecting that she will be bringing the person I never wanted to meet again. I scowled at them.

Maiko Haga, the daughter of the current President of the Butterfly Secret Society, my roommate, my bestfriend, my confidante, and the well-known social butterfly. She has connections wherever she goes. She has the largest information center in the whole world. She is our team leader. She has a great mind and she is also equipped with amazing skills in combat.

Beside Maiko is Park Hyungsik, one of the team leaders in our secret society and her cousin. He absolutely has one of the brilliant minds when it comes to case solving and tactical operations but he also has the most annoying attitude of all the people I have known, not that I know a lot of people. He is the most egoistic, narcissistic and chauvanistic person I know.

.

"Maiko! Hyungsik Oppa!" The girls greeted them enthusiatically in chorus while I kept my mouth shut. The girls approached Maiko and Park Hyungsik. Each of them hugged "that guy" and lightly kissed him on his cheek. I can see "that guy's" huge grin from all the attention. I scoffed at them. He is really enjoying it. They completely adore him but I can't stand him. I was the only one who didn't stand from my seat. They know I hate skinships and being overly dramatic so I just raised my right hand as a sign of my greetings completely ignoring the fact that "that guy" has his arms wide open while staring at me with a huge grin on his face probably waiting for me to jump into them. I rolled my eyes before I settled my eyes on Maiko. She nodded at me knowingly. We will talk later.

"Ayo ladies and Gentlemen! This is Maiko Haga, twenty-five from Japan!" Maiko introduced herself like she was a candidate in a beauty pageant. I can hear my teammates snickering. I forgot to mention that she is the craziest girl in our team. She is now smiling brightly with her left hand on her hip and her right hand in the air doing small waves. The girls started clapping while trying to suppress their laughter while the boys were staring at her speechless. I just shook my head in disbelief. I saw Hyungsik sighed in embarassment.

"Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!" Maiko curtsied before she blew hand kisses. After the exaggerated introduction, she approached Bang PD-nim and did a cheek to cheek greeting. I saw Bang PD-nim got flustered with the gesture. "Annyeonghaseyo Daepyunim! Oraenmaniyeyo! (Hello Mr. President. Long time no see!)" She greeted cheekily. She then turned to BTS with a perfect smile showing her perfect set of white teeth. "Hi, boys! Nice to meet you!" he greeted them with a wink and another hand kiss.

"Ma...Mai... Maiko? Maiko Haga? Australian School of Conservatory Music?" Jin stood up and took a closer look on Maiko. We suddenly turned silent as we watch him move closer to Maiko to inspect her face. I saw how the color rose to her cheeks as she froze on her spot totally speechless. She blinked once, twice and then she took a few steps back and started to smile again. She flashed him her killer smile. Wait, I know that smile. That is her fake smile. Hmmmm, I can smell something fishy between these two.

"Jin? Kim Seokjin?! Oh my goodness! It was nice to see you again. How long was it been? 4-5 years ago? I didn't know that you are now a member of a Kpop Idol Group. How are you?" she suddenly hugged him, but I saw how her smile disappeared for a moment as she hugged him. She is hiding something. Jin froze this time and I can see his ears turning red. Psh! Lie! Of course she knows. She knows everything and it seems like they don't have an ordinary past! I can't help but scoff. She saw my reaction and glared at me and so I glared back and mouthed "What?" but she just rolled her eyes at me. I am going to find out soon but first things first. I need to talk to her about Santiago. I know she already have some information and I just can't wait.
