Love Under Parasols

Covered with Covers

"Congratulations!" I turned around and found my blonde haired crush slash now best friend. She was holding a bouquet of chrysanthemum and was smiling brightly at me.

I just finished my first public appearance as a model and have officially debuted as an artist of their company. Sooyoung-unnie hugged be earlier and told me she was proud of my improvement but she had to leave early because of appointments in another place.

Jeongyeon's here though. She cancelled her schedules today to be able to come and it made my heart hurt a little. She can't keep doing things like this but I can't tell her that because she doesn't even know that I have this stupid crush on her.

"You did well earlier during the ceremony," she gave me the flowers and hugged me. She even planted a soft kiss on my forehead. Again, my heart started to ache.

For the past months, Jeongyeon didn't have any issue with sleeping around. Maybe because I take all of her free time. Just last week, we went to an amusement park because that's the last time I can be free before I debut. We rode roller coasters, flying fiestas, and even played bump car. But before the fireworks started, Jeongyeon left because Hyerin called her. She simply said, 'Momo, I have to go. Hyerin needs me.' and left me. That night, I went home alone.

"Where do you wanna eat?" I asked her. I looked at my watch, "We have four more hours before the after party."

I didn't mind if Jeongyeon was watching me change clothes. She's seen me in my worst state so I couldn't care less. "Ya, Momo, do you want Italian food?" she asked as I was removing my top.

"Whatever you want," I looked at her and saw her staring. "Jeongyeon, stop staring at me," I chuckled.

"You really shouldn't be stripping in front of me then," she placed down her phone and walked towards me. "I lost count on how many times you've rejected me," she hugged me from behind and nuzzled on my neck.

"I won't be your random booty call and bitch, you baboon," I chuckled and struggled to get my dress. Since there will be a party later, I'll wear this dress. Jeongyeon laughed out loud and kissed my cheek as she let me go.

"One day, Momo. One day, we'll sleep together and I won't stop until the neighbors know my name through your lips."

"Congratulations on being the new face of the company," someone told me. I smiled and shook his hand.

A series of congratulations happened and I was just smiling at each and every one of them. I already signed the contract yesterday and it says in that contract I should not have any dating rumors plus I should keep myself healthy all the time.

"Momo," Bora, my manager called me. I looked at her and tilted my head, asking why. "It's time for you to sit down. The program is about to begin."

There will be a program to celebrate my debut as a model slash artist of the company. I admit that I am not good at singing but I do know how. Jeongyeon said that I just need a few more training and she's willing to help me.

I was at the front table with the other artists like Jihyo, then solo singer and Mina, the top ballerina in the country. The both of them are Jeongyeon's discoveries. Jeongyeon was also beside me, eating and conversing with other managers, asking them for the progress of the artists. When I sat down, she looked at me and stopped talking to whoever it was she was talking to.

"How's the celebrity life, superstar?" she teased. I shook my head and smiled at her. She leaned in and whispered in my ear, "I'm so proud of you. And I will be here as you make a speech later."

I forgot about that. I forgot about the speech. I looked at Jeongyeon with horror, "I forgot," I admitted. She chuckled and flicked my forehead. "Ya!"
