Sheila's Kwon

4: Broken Promises

SHEILA had her hand on her chest when she got out of the room that "Joon" occupied. I get that he doesn't want to tell people that he was here. But what if I told him that I knew him, would he flip out? She shrugged off the feeling that she had to tell someone because her mother briefed her already.

"Ma! Why didn't you tell me that it was Jiyong-oppa who would be here?" she was miffed that he saw her in her travel clothes. She would have worn something more fabulous if she knew she was going to meet the love of her life, the father of her future offspring and her inspiration in baking all those chocolate treats she makes for her bakery.

"If I told you then it wouldn't have been a surprise." she could imagine her mom smiling knowingly on the other end. "His mom told me she would cancel her trip with her friends and just come back another time. She said her son was going through something and she wanted him to have a place where he could rest without the media bugging him. So make sure that the security is tight. I know that the only other group who would be there would be the ladies group that booked a couple of months ago. I am sure they have no idea who Jiyong is let alone who Big Bang is."

"Hey! Big Bang is big all over the world. Who know maybe those cougars knows them or him." she wanted to defend her favorite idol group after all she was a VIP to the core.

"They are more like grannies not cougars. But I am sure they'll be interested in his life so warn him not to go around telling people who he is. I am sure he has a plan. His mom said he would probably hole up in his room and write lyrics or something. Make sure he eats on time though. His mom said he sometimes forgets to eat when he's busy. Maybe you can show him around the beach or whatever idols are into."

She didn't think there was a decent bar or club anywhere for Jiyong to go to without someone catching wind of who he was. The retreat was reclusive for that very reason. "People when there to escape all the noise and light pollution of the city. So I'll just suggest that he hang out at the beach. It would help him think and relax. It could help him get a tan if he was into that." Imaginining that he was shirtless at the beach made her blush.

She heard her mom laugh on the other end. "You are imagining him shirtless, aren't you?" She pouted and didn't answer which made her mom laugh harder. "You're pouting right now, aren't you?"

'Don't you just hate it when your mom knows you way to well?' she sighed. "I have to go feed your guests now, is there anything else Jiyong's mom wanted me to do? Do I have to regulate his bowels for him too?"

"Don't sass me, She. Just make sure he's taken care of. If he likes it there imagine just how many other celebrities you want to meet would want to stay at our retreat so they could catch a breath?" the idea that Big Bang or 2ne1 would come over to enjoy the seclusion in their horror mansion like retreat made her smile.

"I'll do my best, mom. Aja, fighting! Bye-bye!" she heard her mom laugh before she hung up.

Sammie was sending her notes about Jiyong's IG and the former was spazzing out on his IG of the chocolate porridge she made for him. I swear he is in the Philippines! Where else would they serve champorado for breakfast, come on! She was feeling guilty not telling Sammie where Jiyong was exactly. Her friend had been loyal to their goal to meet Big Bang and they had suffered through a lot putting Happy7Days together. She felt like she was betraying her friend by not telling her that she was the one who made that champorado for Jiyong.

If he didn't want people to speculate as to where he was, why was he IG'ing things that would make people wonder where he was? I am sure PhVIPs are collectively spazzing out over that last picture. She hated that she didn't have time to check the internet because of all the details she had to attend to. Apparently manning the retreat with a skeletal staff since it was not the peak season was really not as easy as she thought it would be. It's only been a couple of days and she's already tired. But the thought that she can see Jiyong everyday for the next few days was keeping her adrenaline pumping.
