Sinner

Chapter 29

*Korean*

A month later, Jenna found Feleysa safe and sound. I order her to burn the building that they found Feleysa in. We still couldn't find Jun and the morale over there is extremely low. I've spent all my spare time trying to find Jenna.

I'm currently waiting at a park. I tap my feet against the concrete sidewalk.

Where is she?!

I phone my phone see the I'm here text. I felt myself tense up into place as I saw Fathima.

"Um, hello," I say bowing to her as she does the same.

"Hey," she says gently.

"So where do you want to eat, it's my treat," I ask.

"We should get Ramen," she says, making me smile.

"Sure, I'll drive," I say as we walk to my car.

Four hours later, we are at my house. Sidney is currently at Stray Kids for the game night but I need to talk to Fathima. We are watching Jacksepticeye play FNF.

"Fathima do u want to be my makeup artist for the Grammys?" I ask, making me smile.

"Wait, what?! I thought you hated me," she says.

"At the beginning, I did but the more I got to know you the more I started to like you. So I know this isn't a good apology and that this looks like I'm trying to use you but I'm really sorry," I let out to watch her smile.

"Awww, you're so sweet. I'll be your make up artist but first you have to tell me something," she says.

"Sure ask away," I say.

"Um, why didn't you like me?" she asks.

"I-I, um- ugh. So, ugh. Um, I'm not ready to tell," I say as I feel tears build up.

"Alright, well I'll be your make up artist. I'm going to go bye," she says before walking out of the house.

It's December a month before I have to go to Los Angeles for the Grammys. I'm currently in my stylist house as she wanted me to try on the dress she made for me.

"Do you like the dress?" Maddie asks as I look in the mirror.

"Yeah, it's perfect," I say.

"You need to put on the jewelry and the shoes," she says running around her work room as I stand in the mirror and pose. "Do you want heels or no heels?" she asks, holding up two pairs of shoes.

"I'm too tall for heels," I chuckle out.

"Nonsense," she says.

"What do you mean nonsense," I ask as she pushes a cart to me.

"No one is too tall for a killer pair of heels, just the world isn't ready to see a tall girl wearing a pair of heels," she says as picks in the cart.

"Well, thanks for the confidence boost. I'll go for the heels. I want to scare these men," I say, making her laugh.

"Yes I want men to be afraid of you," she says.

"Same, I've never asked but which state are you from," I ask.

"Oh I'm from Georgia, what about you?" she asks me.

"Michagian," I answered as the door opened to show our local tall boy.

"Hey sweetie," Johnny says, walking behind Maddie and hugging her. He kisses her cheek making her giggle.

"Stop sweetie, I'm working right now," she giggles out.

"So Joylce doesn't mind it," he says, holding her tighter.

"We don't know that," she says as he rests his chin on her shoulder.

"I love your curly hair and your chocolate skin," he remakes as Maddie starts turning red. I didn't know it was possible to turn a black person red but I learn something new everyday.

"Sweetie not here," she says as she turns around to face him. I walk to the couch knowing that this will be a long hour.

"You have to give me a kiss to let you go," he says through his blinding smile.

"What," she says, blushing even harder.

"Not to be annoying or anything but Mads just kiss him, I got a dinner date with Jonghyun and I don't want to be late," I say. Watching Maddies blush even harder and Johnny raising his eyebrow.

"You heard her, we should kiss so we don't make her late," he says as I want to throw up in cuteness.

"Um... okay," she says.

As he leans towards her and intensely kisses her. I'm not going to go into details but just know that I regret telling Mads to kiss him.

"Asian prince charming, are you trying to eat her? What in the world were you trying to do," I say as I watch Johnny and Maddie breath heavily.

"Shut-shut u-up, cursed black rose,"he says.

"That's a new one, a bit long though," I talk back as Maddie picks the jewelry.

"Do you ever shut up," he says.

"Sadly for you prince charming, nope," I say.

"Oh my god you're like Haechan," he says.

"Okay, that's a stretch I consider myself a Jeno," I say.

"At Least Jeno shut ups," he says.

"Have you ever heard Jeno talk about anime," I ask him.

"No," he says.

"Then I rested my case," I say.

"Can you guys stop arguing, I'm trying to get work done," Maddie says, making us shut up. Like that another day ended with me eating sushi with Jonghyun.
