Sinner

Chapter 18

*Korean*

*Joycle Pov*

It's been one months since Sidney and I were on that idol show. After our performance they asked us some uncomfortable questions but our manager quickly took care of the situation.

I'm currently chilling in Mr. Lee's office since Mr. Lee called me in.

"Joycle do you know why I called you," he says sternly, making me think the worst.

Did he find out about Lucas and our hook up sessions.

"No, sir " I say, avoiding eye contact with my boss.

"Look at this," he says handing me the tablet."What do you have to say," he says as I look at the screen to see that I am nominated for a Grammy.

"Holy shit! No way! Oh my god!" I shout as tears stream down my face.

"You're my most successful artist, first one to be nominated for a Grammy, " he says smiling at me.

"No way! This feels like a joke," I say breathlessly, as tears continue to stream down my milk chocolate skin.

"Don't cry, you're supposed to be happy, " he says as the tears refuse to stop.

"I am happy," I say as he gives me tissues.

"Here, have the rest of the day off. I got to contact a stylist," he says as I take the tissue and walk out of the room and smile. I pull out a locket, I always have it on me.

I open the locket to see a photo of a teenage boy, he has the same eyes,skin and hair as me. He smiles brightly at me.

Look, I'm on my way to the top. Are you proud of me? I hope you are, the world is dull without you.

*My house*

I invited Chris over, he said he had to pick someone up and if it was cool if the person can join, obviously I said yes. Jonghyun and I are on the couch watching Revolutionary Love because Jonghyun really wanted to watch it.

I still haven't told him about the Grammy even though we have been hanging out for three hours now. Sidney is still training with Fathima.

I look at my phone to see that I'm on Fathima's text messages. The reason why I have her message was that Sidney put my number in Fathima's phone.

I bit my lip as I just stared at the phone, I've gotten to know Fathima very well. I see her at least three times a week since we train together. She is very kind and gentle. She isn't a bad person and she treats Sidney like her little sister. I sigh as I stare at the photo I put of her. It is a photo of a pig eating... I clicked on the photo and changed the photo to a selfie of Fathima, Sidney, and me. I smiled as I contemplated if I should text her.

Me: Hey, can you come over at 11 pm

Fathima: Sure

I look up and rest my head on Jonghyun's chest.

 "Don't you need to tell me something," he asks, raising his left eyebrow.

"Oh yeah I got," before I could finish the sentence Jonghyun finished it for me. "You got nominated for a Grammy and didn't tell me," he says scornfully.

"Sorry, I forgot to tell you," I say while smiling brightly.

"I got you something," he says, making me sit up. He walks over to a guitar case.

"You told me a while back that you wanted a guitar but SM takes a big chunk of your money because of training cost," he says, grabbing the case. He dragged it to the couch and I paused the show.

"Um yeah," I say wondering how he remembered that.

"Here, I got it in Japan a couple of days ago," he says, giving me the case.

I look at the case in shock, "go on open it," he says.

I open it to see a guitar, the strap and a pick. "Thank you," I say as I hug him.

"No problem, princess," he says messing up my hair.

"For real thank you," I say, smiling as I take out the guitar.

"It suits you, do you know how to play a guitar?" he asks.

"Yeah, my ex taught me," I say as I strung the strings.

The door opens to show my cousin and a girl. She's average height and has a beautiful face.

"Hey, this is Chaeryeong," Chris says as Chaeryeong bows to me and I do the same.

"Hello, please be kind to me," she says, making me chuckle.

"Joycle," I say as I watch her eyes widen as she spots Jonghyun.

"Are you Jonghyun from Shinee?" she asks practically screaming

"Um, yeah," he says scratching the back of his neck.

"Oh my god, I love Shinee," she shouts while jumping up and down.

Jonghyun smiles and says thank you.

"So why did you call me, I thought you had acting training," Chris says looking at me.

"They told me to take the day off," I say.

"Wait, SM kicked you out?" Chris asks, making a confused look.

"No, bluepower ranger, they didn't tell me to pack my stuff. Also have you seen how successful I have become," I say while rolling my eyes.

"Stop calling me blue power ranger," Chris whines, making me chuckle.

"Nah," I say, making him roll his eyes.

"So why did you call me," Chris asks again.

"Look at this," I say, showing him the list of Grammy nominees.

"Wow, armys are going to be furious at the fact that you got nominated for a Grammy before BTS," Chris says, making me roll my eyes.

"What happened to congratulations you got nominated for a Grammy," I say rolling my eyes.

Chris chuckles before speaking, "congratulations on your nomination for a Grammy."

"Thank you, " I giggle out.

"Wait are you H.E.R," Chaeryeong asks.

"Um, yeah," I say as I scratch the back of my neck.

"Oh my god! Lia is going to freak out when I tell her that I meet you. She adores you! She makes us listen to you all the time! When is your first album coming out?" she asks.

"My album? Um, wow I haven't even thought about that. Blue power ranger what do you think," I ask Chris.

"Maybe in a year also I told you not to call me that in front of people," Chris says annoyed.

"Chan oppa, you work with her," Chaeryeong tells Chris as I sit down next to Jonghyun.

"Yeah, I help her produce but that's it, she does the rest by herself," Chris says as Jonghyun on his phone.

I hear a knock on the door.
