Taken in

Tracy suspicions

That night, I waited until everyone was asleep before sneaking into kitty’s room. He was sat up, reading a book.

“Hey,” he whispered as I crawled in next to him. He put the book down and snuggled next to me as well.

“You’re not angry at me for kissing Kyung, are you?” I mumbled into his t-shirt.

“Of course not, chicken. You didn’t know you were kissing him.”

“That’s the thing; I thought I was kissing you!”

“Oh god, what did you do?” he laughed.

“I sort of really went for it! I was about three seconds away from leaping on his hips!”

“Does he really kiss like me?”

“Does B-Bomb kiss like me?” I retaliated.

“Fair enough. Here, let me give you something to wipe Park Kyung from your brain,” he said sexily, leaning down and kissing me passionately. I wrapped my arms around his torso, holding onto him. The kiss was like the one in the dare game, but without the gobstopper. And this time, it was signed off with kitty biting my lip sexily.

“Yeah, that should do it,” I replied. “Are you filming more of the video tomorrow?”

“Yes. Just two more days, and then it should be good to go,” he smiled. “And then I’m all yours again.”

“Good. I’ve missed you while you’ve been at the studio.”

“You’ve been there with me?”

“Yes but you’ve been working. Maybe after the video is done, we can tell everyone about us?”

“Sounds perfect.”

“Night, kitty.”

“Night, chicken.”

“Jessika, Jessika, JESSIKA!”

“Oh my Lord, what the hell, Shannon?”

“Morning sleepy,” she said with a smile.

“Hang on, what are you doing in here?”

“Waking you up. Everyone else already went to the studio.”

“Everyone?”

“Yep, including Megan and Tracy. So I suggest you get your arse out of bed and look stunning for your man.”

“Why do I need to look stunning?”

“You always need to look stunning. Besides, I think Tracy’s got her eye on him, and you need to show him who’s the better option, not that he doesn’t already know.”

“So I need to get all tarted up to show that I’m more worthy of his time than slutty Tracy?”

“Exactly.”

“No way. Either he likes me more than her or not. I’m not getting into anything tight just to make him stay with me. I trust him.”

At the shoot of the video, I stayed on the side-lines, out of kitty’s way. My reasoning was that if he was less distracted, then he would be done sooner and we could be together sooner.

I saw them all disappear off set and to the hair and makeup room to film their separate scenes, and I saw Tracy follow them all.

“That’s weird, did you see that?” I asked Shannon.

“Who, Tracy? Yeah, she’s been sort of stalking them wherever they go all morning. Don’t worry, they’re grown boys. They can take care of themselves.”

“That’s not what I’m worried about,” I said through my teeth.

“If this is about what happened last time, don’t worry about it. Like you said earlier, he loves you and only you. There’s no way that he’ll get side-tracked by Tracy. She’s leaving tomorrow with us anyway. By tomorrow night, you’ll be free of her, and have him all to yourself. And there’s nothing she can do before then. He’s completely devoted to you, chicken!”

“Wait, why did you call me chicken?”

“Because I always call you chicken?”

“No, you call me chick. Kitty calls me chicken.”

“Okay, now you officially have to explain why you call him kitty.”

“Because he has cat-like features. And he calls me chicken because...well I don’t know really,” I laughed. “It just sort of happened.”

“That’s an excuse for getting pregnant, not for a nickname. Speaking of, have you err...ya know?”

“Umm no!” I said abruptly. “David was the only other guy that happened with, and look how that turned out. I need to be sure he’s the right guy, not to mention that he has a roommate and I have a sofa. There’s no right place!”

“I’m sure Kyung would understand sleeping on the sofa for one night.”

“I couldn’t do that to him. He’s sweet, and I don’t have the heart to kick him out of his own room so that I can have sex with Yukwon.”

“You only think he’s sweet because you snogged his face off lastnight.”

“How do you know I snogged his face off?”

“Because I heard you talking to Yukwon lastnight, saying you gave it your all,” she laughed. “I wish I had seen it!”

“Yeah, me too, so I could have avoided it!”

“Oh hush now, you loved it really,” she winked, then stalked off in the direction of the makeup rooms. I then saw her come out with Tracy on her arm, deep in conversation. She looked over to me, winked again, then walked away with Tracy. That girl always knew me so well.

I replaced Tracy in the makeup room, just watching the stylist work her magic. She was dying kitty’s hair at the time, sending it a rich dark brown colour.

“What did Tracy want?” I asked Zico because the others were wrapped up in conversation.

“I don’t know. She just sort of came in here and watched us. Why?”

“Just making sure she doesn’t pull any crap.”
