Every Rose Has it's Thorn

Spicing Things Up:

"Move over!" Victoria pushed past Jiyong in the dressing room to get her laptop out.

"Why are you so eager to get online?" Jiyong asked her.

"I'm not going online, I'm going my Skype to call Sungah." Victoria answered. "She hasn't called me in over two weeks and her sister finally decided to call me and let me know what's going on."

"I think that's the fastest I've ever heard you speak." Jiyong almost laughed, letting her make her little call to her friend. Victoria impatiently waited for Sungah to answer, probably worried that she wouldn't.

"Hey." Sungah finally answered.

"Hey! Can you please let me in more on what happened? SoonYee wasn't too specific about it." Jiyong could hear the slight worry in her voice.

"I was in an accident. I don't really remember why. I got tossed out the windshield." Sungah actually laughed it off, probably because of her stupidity. "Good news though. I am finally going home today."

"I would be there right now if I didn't arrive in Japan two days ago. I don't care how nice it is here. I would much rather be there comforting you."

"Why are you in Japan?"

"Mr. GD has a show here in Tokyo that's why. Then Nagoya, then Osaka. So I'm busy until I get back in Korea next week."

"You work for G Dragon?" Victoria wasn't sure why Sungah sounded so surprised.

"Yeah, I could've sworn we've talked about it." Victoria said, confused.

"Sorry, it must've slipped my mind. I wish you could've visited me at least once before I leave."

"Sungah, you know I would've came to visit you, but no one seems to want to tell the foreigner anything." Victoria laughed.

"It's okay, really." Sungah smiled sweetly. "You should've told me you were moving here, I would've stayed. But I already made the decision to go back home to Phoenix."

"I did tell you I was moving here, remember?" Victoria grew even more confused.

"You did? Oh, I guess I forgot, sorry. I've forgotten a lot of things." Sungah frowned.

"Hey, don't worry about it. I completely understand." She realized that Sungah must've gotten some memory impairment from the accident. A door shutting in the background seemed to catch Sungah's attention.

"Victoria? I'll call you later, okay?" Sungah looked over to where the door sound came from.

"Okay." Sungah ended the call right after Victoria answered her. "Goodbye to you too."

"Everything okay?" Jiyong spoke up. She had actually forgotten he was there.

"I have no idea. I guess everything's okay now." She answered, running her fingers through her hair.

"I think I understood most of your conversation." Jiyong smiled as she closed her laptop and stood from her seat.

"Really? Give me a percentage." Victoria smiled back.

"I guess, fifty percent?" Jiyong laughed nervously. "If you would've asked me that a few years ago, I would've said zero."

"That's good then." Victoria grinned sweetly, gesturing for him to sit in the chair so she could do his makeup. "Ready to get your face caked up?"

"I'm always ready." He laughed. "I have a question for you."

"What is it?" She asked while she took out the stuff she needed out of the bag.
