TWO DAYS LATER, MONDAY**
MAYBELLINE COLLEGE**
“So KOREA’S GOT TALENT is next week Friday, Mr & Miss Korea is two weeks time, I can’t wait” Bae said as she walked to the cafeteria with the girls except Quincy
“So finally Travis’s house party is here, can’t believe it was shifted last week, I almost cried” Trinidad said.
“So Polly…you haven’t told us the full gist of you and Travis, how did you end up on his bed?” Izzy asked.
“I mistook his house for mine, I really messed up, now I can’t even face him” Polly replied.
“But did you see Twinkle during first two classes?, He wouldn’t stop staring at you, I think he’s into you” Trinidad said.
“I seriously don’t like Twinkle, seriously” Polly replied.
“Winston and Genny are the main shot of Mr Korea, Clara and Quincy are the main nominees for the Miss” Izzy read from her phone.
“And why is any K-pop idol not contesting this time?, I was expecting billions of them” Trinidad said.
“Idols took over the competition last year, the contestants were all K-pop idols, I guess they’re resting this year, they’re leaving it to the models” Bae replied.
“And why are you not contributing to what we’ve been saying Echo?” Polly faced her.
” Thinking of contesting for Miss Korea” she replied.
“Eh!” They all shouted.
” It’s ok… It was a joke” Echo replied and they all laughed at they entered the cafeteria.

Genny was about to climb the rooftop to meet Quincy who’s waiting there when Clara showed up.
She got discharged two days ago.
“Genny!” She waved, blocking his way.
“What now?” He asked and she brought out her hands which were behind her.
She’s holding a cupcake.
“I got it for you at the cafeteria, thought you might like it” she said and he went closer to her.
She took her second hand and forcefully opened her tightened palm, the ring is there.
He took it and she made to take it back but he hid it.
“Give it back, you don’t know how much I cherish that ring” she said childishly.
“It was just a movie we shot together, no strings attached Clara” he said yo her face.
“Genny…
“Get back to your senses!, It wasn’t real!” He shouted and she shifted back in fear.
“But Genny, you promised to marry me when we grow up…
“It wasn’t real, how many times do I have to say that Clara!, The title of the movie was PUPPY LOVE!, we acted it together when we were eight!, I promised you marriage in the movie and not in real life!” Genny screamed into her ear and her ear started bleeding.
“No….no it’s not…..
She held her head and squatted.
“Action!”
“Cut!”
“Action!’
“Cut!”
“Clara you did well in that scene”
“Genova you were awesome, get ready for the next scene”
She remembered the words said by the directors as they $h00t the movie that year and her second ear started bleeding too.
“No!!!!!!!” She held her head tighter, her veins became red and revealed, her eyes became teary and she looked up at him.
“I….I….I really just love you” she stuttered and fell flat on the ground, passing out just like the other time.
Genny called an ambulance immediately and she was taken away, leaving students to wonder what really happened to her again.
“What’s up?” Genny and Craig asked at a time.
“I yelled the words into her ear” he replied and Gennie smiled.
“I just hope it works”
“Let’s go to the library, meet us there lover boy” Craig pulled Gennie away and Genny made to start going upstairs again but another voice stopped him.
Winston’s.
“Hey… Quincy’s boyfriend” he said, making Genny turn back.
“Here for another beating?” Genny said, pocketing his hands
Winston walked closer, there are still marks of Genny’s work on his face.
“Quincy is just too hard to resist seriously, and you can keep punching me, I’ll keep treating it, that’ll go on and on till I’ll finally get under her P@ŋtîēṣ” he smiled naughtily.
“Say that again” Genny said.
“Why don’t we make a bet?, If you win Mr Korea, I’ll stop disturbing your relationship with Quincy, but if I win….. I’ll f_ck her in every way possible” he said and Genny pushed him.
He staggered but quickly held the rails for balance before letting out a short giggle.
“See ya soon!, At the competition” he said and left.
“Why do I feel like ki||ing him” Genny said to himself, folding his fist angrily.
He finally climbed the rooftop and met Quincy waiting with earpieces in her ears and two bottles of juice.
He smiled and sat beside her.
“Genny!” She smiled, happy that he came.
He removed one of the earpiece from her ear and used it.
“SENSATIONS” he said immediately he heard the song.
“Yes, I just love your part so much” she replied.
“I have quiet a cool voice right?” He winked.
“Dummy, stop being Ç0çƙy” she replied, hitting him playfully.
“It’s been long since you called me that….fool” he replied and she chuckled, giving him the two juices.
“I don’t have a barrel in my stomach, how do you expect me to finish the t….
“Open mine for me” she interrupted.
“Oh,…so it’s like that, sowwy!” He said cutely and she smiled as he opened one for her.
They took gentle sips from it.
“Clara passed out again earlier” he said.
“Why?”
“I shouted into her ear, she bled from the ears” he replied.
“Why…
“I just thought that might help” he replied.
“Oh…
“And Winston..
“Did that bastard come to school?” She interrupted.
“Yeah, he was talking about a bet….” He replied, taking a gulp from the juice again.
“Bet?”
“If I win against him in becoming Mr Korea, he’ll stop being a jerk” he replied.
“Really?, He said that?”
“Yes, but I’m not taking it serious” he replied.
“Why?”
“I dunno, a part of me wants to try it out too” he replied.
Silence ensued for a while.
“I’m sorry” she said.
“Why?”.
“If it wasn’t for me, we wouldn’t have fallen into this mess” she replied and he dropped the juice before facing her.
“It’s not your fault, he had all these planned trust me, he can’t be underestimated and no matter what happens, he’ll do what he wants, ..he’s a bastard” he said.
“But still….the $h00t I did with him, I never knew how infuriating it is to see your partner getting touched by another till you did that $h00t with Ga-Young, I got extremely jealous” she said sincerely.
“The $h00t was cancelled anyways” he said.
“Huh?”
“I became a model for you, I want to be the only guy you’ll ever $h00t with, and you’ll be the only girl I’ll $h00t with too, $h00ting with Ga-Young was … To make you feel what I felt and thankfully it worked” he said.
“I’m sorry, I promise to always listen to you from now on” she said, looking right at him.
“Really?, Is that really true?” He smiled.
“Seriously Genny, I promise to always do your wishes, I promise” she replied and scooted closer to him, she hugged him tightly.
“I love you so much sunshine” she whispered.
“More more pink” he smiled, hugging her back.
“Today makes one week, two days, 12 hours, 15 minutes and 5 seconds you touched or kissed me last” she said and he quickly broke the hug.
“What the … Are you planning to become a mathematician after studying BA here?” He said surprisingly.
“Anytime I miss you, I calculate the time we’ve been spending apart, seriously it was so hard, I dunno how I survived it, only Kimberly can tell” she said.
“Ask Gennie about my story too, he doesn’t sleep at nights cos I always sing about you, it was the hardest thing I’ve ever tried” he replied.
“Let’s not do this anymore, promise me that whenever you’re mad at me, you’ll just kiss me hard to get back at me” she said.
“No, i prefer f_cking you hard instead” he replied and she laughed.
“Naughty you”
He brought his right palm to her face and rubbed her cheek.
She held his palm on her face and closed her eyes.
“I missed this” she said and he kissed her lightly.
She opened his eyes and sat on his laps before hanging her arms on his neck.
“Should I spend the night at your place tonight?, Let’s skip Travis’s party” She asked naughtily.
“Sure, I’ll be waiting” he replied.
“Saranghea Chan Sun ” she smiled.
“Saranghea…. Eunji” he replied and their smiles mirrored each other as they both leaned in at a time and their lips pressed hard on each other.
