World's most famous band 'Icy Love' is at the peak of their career, but lead singer Yuta is trying to forget his past, depression, the empty lyrics book in affairs and a luxurious wild playboy lifestyle. He's only looking for pleasure till someone u...
When 'Icy Love' hit number one in the charts three years ago no one had ever expected that the four boys from an ordinary neighborhood will become a worldwide music sensation. Now after two world tours with a new album, several award nominations and the next tour ahead they were more famous than ever.
Although Yuta felt so burned out, his song book empty, his heart even emptier.
It was midday, the beautiful sun light falling into the hotel apartment, but the four band members were sitting on a carpet in total silence.
"And?" Donghyuck lifted his head when Antonio came in.
"The police had identified the girl, but it looks like the stalker had just hired her, she doesn't want to give out the person's identity," the man sighed, he seemed to had aged about ten years since lat night.
"I'm giving in reading the comments online," muttered Johnny throwing his phone on the carpet.
"Do you really have to sleep with just anyone?" Jaehyun glanced at Yuta.
"Haven't you ever!" Yuta became angry.
Why was it suddenly all his fault? He hasn't asked for it, he was just living his life, he was twenty one, famous and hot couldn't he have a little fun? Why were they all so crazy about it? Weren't 90 % of the superstars doing the same, but they didn't have death threats or weren't waking up next to people with knives.
"Jaehyun is right it's all your fault," muttered Donghyuck.
"Shut up you're to young to speak about adult stuff!" hissed Yuta.
"Boys!" Antionio raised his voice. "There's a serious problem here, someone really wants to kill you Yuta, the matter got out of hands."
"So let them come and do it. What is my life worth anyway?" Yuta felt fury.
"Stop it, you have a huge responsibility, millions of fans worldwide are looking up to you, they're worried, they're emotionally involved," Antonio sat at the edge of an armchair.
"We should cancel the tour," muttered Johnny. "Honestly I'm out, I'm young I have a lot ahead of me."
"I'm not scared of them," Yuta looked at his friend, how was Johnny such a coward.
"We're thinking hard about the tour I had a call with the CEO, so far there's nothing decided yet," Antonio was more worried than ever.
"I'm out man, I'm not going out there to risk my ass," said Johnny.
"So I'll perform alone, I don't care anyway," Yuta shrugged.
"Why are you like that lately?" Donghyuck's voice cracked.
"It all stopped being fun you know, I'm so burned out, girls, drugs it doesn't give me a single thrill anymore, not even a faint tingle in my stomach, all butterflies died," Yuta bit his lower lip. "There's no stuff for new songs, an endless desert in front of me."
"I think you should fall in love," said Donghuck.
"Are you freaking kidding me!" Yuta jumped up from the floor. "Love is for losers," he hissed walking down the room towards the huge windows with a magnificent city view.
Was this kid really so naive to live in an outworn metaphor like love. Love, what's love, nonsense.
"Let's say we decide about the tour later right now let's perform at the Golden Star awards this weekend," said Antonio when Yuta was watching the distant clouds over the edges of the skyscrapers.
"What happened, I came when I heard!" the door opened to reveal Taeyong, a rapper who was starting a nice career and they boys had met during a fashion week show a few months ago, since then he was Yuta's best friend.
Taeyong was nominated in one category so he had also came to the city for the Golden Star Awards.
"Are you ok?" asked Taeyong his face as pale as Antonio's.
"As you see," groaned Johnny who had fallen into a grumpy mood.
"Man all the tabloids are filled with your bare ass," Taeyong glanced Yuta's way.
"It's not the first bare ass in history don't make a hype about it," Yuta turned from the window.
"Has she really had a knife?" asked Taeyong.
"What do you think?" Yuta groaned.
"So from no on we can increase the security check level, they need to be naked when they're coming into our hotel room," muttered Johnny smiling for the first time. "What do you think guys."
"Totally up to it," Yuta winked to Taeyong.
"You're so retarded," Donghuck jumped from the floor leaving the room.
"Do you think Gian will approve the new rule?" asked Jaehyun his eyes glittering.
"I'm the diva here so he has to," Yuta laughed loudly but his smile faded when he caught Antonio's judging gaze.
The fog had lifted, Mount Amarose with it's ever covered snow top appeared in the bright sunlight, the park where the youth of Rosevalley was always meeting after classes was very crowded. The lawn was occupied by kids playing badminton, while Sicheng's classmates took two benches next to the main alley. He heard Mark talking about something very loudly it happened each time the boy was over-excited.
"Sicheng!" Varie, a girl with long back hair waved to him.
She and her two friends were in Mark's so called clique, Sicheng has never had an idea if he belonged. The others treated him as if, but he never looked for any attention. Mark's friendship was enough, knowing there will be one person who is happy to see him at school was more than enough, yes Sicheng was enjoying the little things.
"Sicheng, come here!" Mark turned to him so he sat on the last free spot on the bench next to Marietta a blonde girl, who loved to draw manga characters.
"Sicheng you won't believe it!" said Mark raising his eyes open.
"Is it about this band?" Sicheng laughed.
Mark and his friends were all obsessed with this pop-rock band 'Icy Love', Mark could talk about them for hours.
