It Happens

Chapter Six

Mr. Shiyo dropped us off and took Aron back to his place where his family was waiting for him.

I turned and faced Kim, then thought of that moment. In a way, I betrayed them. Putting myself and Aron before them.

"Kim," I walked over, carrying my new dress in a bag, "Can we have a sleepover in the living room? Just us four?"

He smiled, "I like that idea."

Yi draped his arm over my shoulders and Cheoung walked beside me into the building.

The next morning, Shiyo came in and opened the curtains, shinning light in our eyes.

I was laying next to Cheo or I wouldn't have gotten any sleep. Take-out boxes covered the floor and the television was still on. Yi had found a channel that played zombie movies all the time and we stayed up pretty late.

"Rise and shine kids!" He laughed as Yi groaned and rolled over.

"Mr. Shiyo," Cheo rubbed his eyes like a kitten, "We told you we're not kids."

"To a forty year old man you're still a bunch of kids," he laughed, "Are your bags packed?"

"They're in our rooms," I stretched.
He walked back towards the bedrooms and I got up off the floor and on to the couch.

Kim kept lightly patting Yi's head, but got no where.

"What's for breakfast?" Cheo asked and leaned on me, yawning.

"There's food in the limo," Shiyo assured us.

"Limo?" I turned to him, "What limo?"

"The one waiting to take you to the airport," he smiled and sat our bags down by the door, "After we pick up Aron of course."

"Right, Aron," I didn't even convince myself. I kept thinking of what happened last night.

"Let's go! Your flight leaves in two hours!" He started clapping and Yi got up.

We were all still dressed in the same clothes as yesterday so we didn't have to change out of our pajamas. Our bags were packed so nothing there, food in the car...

"We don't have anything to do," Yi tiredly said, "It's all done."

"I didn't expect that, "Well then let's go grab our other passenger."

We headed out to the conjoined star penthouse and arrived a little later because of a crash.

The people were alright, but by the time we got there, Aron had fallen asleep on the couch.

We had extra time so it didn't bother anyone. Raiga and I just thought he looked too peaceful to wake up. Even in the living room, you could faintly hear Baekho sleeping. Kicking the covers and mumbling, not snoring.

Ren sat with me while we killed some time and showed me pictures of his girlfriend in Japan.

"She's pretty Ren!" I quietly exclaimed. He still hadn't told Raiga and wanted to make sure she didn't find out.

"Thanks. She's nice and funny, too. We're always laughing at each other over the phone."

"So you've actually talked to her?"

"A lot of times. The best part is she doesn't listen to K-pop. She just took a Korean language class one summer and I know some Japanese so it all works out."

"And she doesn't know you're famous, so that's not why she likes you," I nodded and played with Aron's hair.

"Right," he got up, "Thanks for talking with me. You always give me good advice."
