Jia Reiko

"DAD!" Jiero shouted and run to him. Xingjie carried him in his arms and pictures of them were taken. I thought he'll never come but how about his career? Please don't let us ruin it.

"You're Zhu Xingjie, Cindy's ex-boyfriend?"

"Does that mean you guys played Cindy?"

"NO!" Cindy shouted. I looked at the side only to find all of them there. They walked towards me and embraced me.

"Eunnie I missed you." Hannah whispered.

"Nee-chan~" Aiko started to sob when she embraced me while Jaycee hit me in the head that just made me smile. Ao pinched my cheeks and Cindy ruffled my hair and looked at the reporters.

"We never dated. Xingjie and Rieko officially dated even before she was a member of DOA." They started to talk at the same time again but I didn't care about it.

"Thanks Cindy." Xingjie said. "I've met Jia 7 years ago when she first arrived here. I first liked her back then. I started to court her a few months when I saved her from drunk men but for the same reason as she was a victim of an attempted rape she declined me afraid that when media finds out about her past I might be caught in it. I kept persuing her even when she became an idol.   I always loved her so when she suddenly disappeared I felt empty. But now that she's back. I will never let her go." He looked at me. "I've already let her go twice. I won't let that happen again. Never again."

"If that's the case then why did you really leave? Don't you think it's about time to tell everyone the truth?" One of the reporters asked. I looked at Xingjie before talking.

"Jia thought Cindy and I are really dating. Both of DOA's supporters and mine are really shipping us that even our companies told everyone we are. When we officially broke up, Jia was in the Philippines, that was the first time she left me. She didn't know then when she got back-"

"I lied to her." Cindy cut Xingjie off. "I told her we're still dating and that we're happy." she looked down.

"Cindy~" I stopped her. "I knew that she lied a week after I left for Korea. I saw the comments when I logged in my weibo that I deactivated. But I was pregnant so I decided to just quit."

"Then why did you return to stage three years ago?"

"I found out I can't give up the stage. I continued my music even when I had Jiero so-"

"Then why didn't you return DOA?"

"Reiko never left DOA." Chen answered as he walked up the stage and sat beside me.

"What do you mean?"

"DOA released 4 mini albums and 3 albums all containing a total of 9 songs composed by her and if you listen carefully to all those songs her voice was also in it." He said that made us look at him. I did the demo but I didn't expect he would use that. "The person doing the second voice was her. And all these years she was also contributing to the company's sales. Let's say she's a DOA member that's performing solo only in an anonymous way."

"Zhu Xingjie what do you plan now? Are you leaving entertainment?"

"I plan to make my family whole but at the same time I don't plan on giving up because I know my fans understands me." He simply answered and smiled to me.
