BEAUTY IN DISGUISE - CHAPTER 45&46
★★★★★
NEXT MORNING**
Waking up in Genny’s arms feels like the best thing Quincy has ever experienced.
She smiled cutely when she saw his face first.
He’s still handsomely asleep.
She got the urge to touch his face and she brought her hand to it.
She gently touched it while admiring his features
She traced his full brows with her thumb.
Her eyes caught his lips and she blinked nervously.
She found it hard to take her eyes away from it.
The shape and colour is insane.
His scent filled her nose again and she smiled.
His scent was created with the ability to make her wanna stay with him all day just to keep inhaling it.
She touched his lips suddenly before she could stop herself.
She wanted to stop but her stubborn heart won’t listen.
She started caressing his lips and he suddenly moved.
She quickly stopped and folded her hand before closing her eyes.
Genova opened his eyes and a pretty smile escaped his lips when he saw her beside him.
Her lids moved and he smiled, knowing that she’s awake.
He poked her cheek and her lids moved again.
He smiled and scooted closer then bit her ear slightly.
She giggled and opened her eyes.
“I knew it, you were awake” he said.
“Yes” she smiled.
He touched her forehead to feel her temperature and when he felt it’s back to normal, he sighed.
“I guess you’re now fine” he said.
“Thanks to your warmth” she replied
“Ok we need to leave now” he said and she she sat up.
He did the same and she adjusted her gown.
While doing that, she remembered he actually put it on for her last night.
She blushed secretly and he looked her way.
“Why are you suddenly blushing?” He asked and she quickly covered her cheeks.
“I’m not .. blushing” she said and quickly started walking out.
He got her bag and pulled her back.
“You want us to go out like this and have the whole news gossip about us all day?” He said.
” I forgot” she pouted and took the bag from him.
She brought out brand new masks and wore one.
She stepped closer and wore him one too.
They left the ward and bumped into the doctor by the door.
“I wanted to come check on her last night but you guys locked the door behind, I thought maybe you needed privacy” he said.
” Yeah, thanks for your care” Quincy said in a muffled tone.
” The victim of the accident yesterday, how’s he?” Genova asked.
” Oh … He went into surgery last night and he miraculously woke up this morning, his recovery after surgery is one of the fastest I’ve ever seen” the doctor replied.
” Can I see him?” Genova asked.
” Why?, Do you know him?” The doctor asked.
“No,but I just wanna do it…. please” Genova replied.
The doctor led the way to another hallway and pointed at the third ward.
“He’s in” he said and Genova bowed in thanks before going in with Quincy.
The guy is in bed, he looks tired and pale but much better than yesterday when he was covered in blood.
“Hi” Genny waved, looking at his shoes beside the bed.
“Do you…. know me?, And…who are you?” He asked weakly.
Genova removed his mask and his eyes widened.
“Genny!” He screamed.
“Ou!” He winced, holding his stomach afterwards.
“Easy, don’t hurt yourself” Genova smiled, sitting beside him
” I’m a die hard ANJELL, I bought all your albums and you’re my bias I love you so much I can’t believe this,is this really you?, Like Genny is sitting beside me on my sick bed right now?, OMG I’m dreaming!” He rushed.
” Calm down what’s your name?” Genova asked.
“Jaemin” he replied overwhelmingly.
” How are you feeling now?” Genova asked.
“I feel fulfilled seriously” he said.
“I’m glad you’re getting better, try your best and respond to treatment ok?” Genova said.
” I’ll do that since my Genny is telling me to do it, why did you come to the hospital though?” He asked.
Genova looked at Quincy who’s standing beside him and Jaemin gasped.
“Hyung, you got a girlfriend?, Can I see her?, Please please it’ll be a lifetime achievement to see her face please don’t say no” he pleaded.
” She’s my close friend,not my girlfriend” Genova replied and Quincy went sad momentarily.
” Oh… But as your close friend can i see her face?” Jaemin asked.
” No, maybe next time” Genova replied.
” Can I get a picture with you?” Jaemin asked.
” Of course” Genova replied and a man entered the ward with a woman and a young girl.
“OMG Genny!!!” The woman screamed.
“Are my eyes playing tricks on me?” The man said.
” Oppa!” The young girl screamed.
” Hyung, meet my parents and my junior sis, her name is…
“Jaemia!” She interrupted.
“It’s really Genny, I can’t believe my eyes” the man said.
” Address them as Mr and Mrs Choi” Jaemin said.
Genny bowed in respect to both of them.
“Our whole family is your fan, Jaemin and Jaemia can’t do without your songs” Mr Choi said.
” Though we’re not financially stable but we still manage to buy your albums, I was so sad that I couldn’t afford the ticket for your last concert” Mrs Choi said.
” But I’m glad I’ll attend your fan sign on Friday!” Jaemia said.
” He’s not only handsome but sweet and caring, he came to see me aren’t I so lucky?” Jaemin said.
” We’re all lucky, not minding our poorness, he stayed, I love you more” Mr Choi said.
Genova smiled at Quincy and she returned it though the mask covered it.
“Wait?, Oppa’s girlfriend?” Jaemia asked with wide eyes.
” No, my close friend” Genova replied.
“She must be so cute!, I wish I could see her face” she pouted.
” Let’s snap the picture” Jaemin said and Genny smiled at the camera as he snapped them.
He snapped with the whole family after that then with Jaemia too and with the couple.
“Even with the mask on why don’t you snap with us?” Jaemin said .
Quincy sat with them and snapped with Genny and the family.
“Today is my happiest day on Earth” Jaemin said.
“Our happiest day” Jaemia said and took his autograph.
He signed for everyone of them and they almost didn’t want him to leave.
He later left and the doctor entered.
He checked Jaemin’s vitals and nodded.
“You’re improving at the speed of light” he said.
” I should be, I just met my idol” he smiled, looking at the pictures.
” The bills has been taken care of” the doctor said and Mr Choi spranged up.
” Huh?, Who?”
” Genny” he replied.
” Oh my….how could he…” Mrs Choi said.
” That’s Genny for you” the doctor replied and left.
” Genny is perfect” Jaemin smiled.
” I know right, I want to marry him” Jaemia replied and they all laughed.
******
Genova drove Quincy home and she sighed when they got to her place.
“Our first class is by 12 so there’s still time, I’ll see you in school” he said and she nodded.
” Hey is something wrong?” He asked.
” I’m fine” she replied and looked at him.
What he just did touched her heart.
He arched his brows and she drew closer.
She hugged him tightly and he smiled.
He hugged her back.
“What?” He asked.
“Nothing, I just felt like hugging you” she replied, breaking the hug after a while.
She got down from the car and waved as the car moved out of the house.
It left her sight before she went inside.
“You’re back!” Kimberly smiled.
“Thanks for giving us privacy” Quincy said.
“What happened last night?” Kimberly asked.
” I slept in his arms, nothing more” Quincy smiled.
” You slept in his arms?, He didn’t try anything with you?” Kimberly asked.
“No, he’s not like that” Quincy smiled and went upstairs.
” He didn’t try anything with her?, Whoa!, What kind of a guy he is?…. totally different” Kimberly smiled.

K GROUP OF COMPANIES**
Mrs Shin went on her knees immediately she entered Mr Kang’s office.
Trinidad stood beside her, gaping sadly.
“Your daughter lived a life of deception in the school” Mr Kang said.
” I’m sorry, I know she’s at fault and that’s why she’ll stop schooling there” Mrs Shim said.
” Do you remember how you begged me on your knees for her enrollment?” Mr Kang asked.
” I remember vividly” Mrs Shim replied, wiping her tears before it’ll fall.
Trinidad went on her knees too.
“I’m sorry, I promise not to step foot in Maybelline again, I’ll pay for my deception with that” she said.
” Stop saying nonsense!” Polly’s voice said from the door.
She opened the door and came in.
” Get up” she said.
“Pollyanna” Trinidad said shockingly.
Polly looked at her and pulled her up.
She pulled Mrs Shim up too.
She faced her dad .
“She’s still a student of Maybelline, she ain’t quitting” she said and pulled mother and daughter out.
They got out and she faced Mrs Shim.
“You got on your knees just to beg for her enrollment, you swallowed your pride cos of it and now you’re pouring it all in the mud?, She did what she did because of me, I should be the guilty one” Polly said.
Mrs Shim kept looking at her surprisingly.
“I’ll talk to Trinidad privately” she said and pulled Trinidad away.
She took her into a washroom and faced her.
“Slap me” she said
“Huh?” Trinidad replied.
“Slap me and make me stop feeling guilty, I shouldn’t have acted like the almighty, that made you go extra miles just to be my friend, I’m so sorry” Polly pleaded .
” No Pollyanna, I’m the one at fault, I shouldn’t have deceived you, I shouldn’t have” Trinidad replied in tears.
Polly started crying too.
“I’m sorry Trinidad” she cried
“I’m sorry Pollyanna” Trinidad cried too.
Polly hugged her and they kept crying on each other’s shoulders.
“Please come back to school” Polly cried
Trinidad closed her eyes, more tears coming out of her eyes.

THE ALEJANDRO’S MANSION**
GENNY’S ROOM**
Genny just finished practicing the lyrics of the new song for the twentieth time.
He removed his headphones and dropped his song book.
They’ll be meeting with TXT tommorow again before their fan sign event on Friday.
He sat on his bed and his eyes caught the multicoloured headphones.
He went for it and smiled continuously as he rubbed his hand on it
Quincy filled up his memory.
His eyes widened when he remembered something.
He opened his drawer and brought out the juice.
The first thing Quincy gave to him.
He opened it and drank from it.
“Genny!” Hanna’s voice beckoned from outside.
He dropped the juice and headphones before leaving the room.
“I think Reece is sick, he’s burning up real bad” she said.
“Sick?, Why?” He asked.
” His girlfriend won’t pick his calls and she’s not always at home too, she won’t reply his messages, I think it’s lovesickness” Hanna replied.
” Do I look like a love doctor?” He replied.
“Jerk!” Hanna shot and entered Reece’s room.
Genova glanced at the time, it’s 11:30
“I should be on my way to school” he said and entered his room.
*******
MAYBELLINE COLLEGE**
Trinidad is shivering as she entered the school with Polly.
All eyes are on her but Polly held her hand more tightly.
“Don’t fidget” Polly said.
She looked at Polly and smiled nervously.
Polly suddenly pecked her cheek and she looked at her.
“That’s a reassuring peck” Polly said and Trinidad smiled more widely.
They got to the hallway that led to their class and met Molly standing with her newfound minions.
“The deceiver is back” she mocked.
“Move” Polly glared.
” Tell her to get out of this school first, she doesn’t belong here” Molly said.
” Get out of the way!” Polly said.
“What if I don’t?” Molly smiled and came closer.
She made to grab Trinidad’s hair but Polly held her hand.
“Girls!, Get her!” Molly said and her minions started dragging Trinidad.
Polly could only handle Molly, they’re too much for her.
Trinidad winced under their grip.
“Justice!!!!!” Riri’s voice screamed and everyone stopped.
Quincy stepped into the hallway with a fire extinguisher.
Polly quickly pulled Trinidad out of their midst and Quincy put on the extinguisher.
She pressed it on Molly and her gang and they all had to find the way with their hands when it got them
Their hair and whole body turned white already.
“Riri you’ll pay for this” Molly said, rubbing her eyes.
Izzy appeared and took the extinguisher from Quincy.
She pressed more on Molly’s face and Molly screamed again.
“Oh sorry, you somehow looked like fire” Izzy smiled and faced Polly.
” Let’s go” she said.
Polly smiled and pulled Trinidad along.
Quincy smiled as she left for class with them.
They got to class and settled down quickly when the lecturer came in.
Quincy looked back at Genova and he winked at her.
Her heart skipped beats and she smiled before concentrating.
Bae came late and everyone gasped.
She changed her hairstyle and added bangs this time.
She looks different and more pretty, then what she’s wearing is hard to look away from, she’s foxy.
? She looks more pretty
? I love her bangs
? Bangs was made for her.
Craig stared with wide mouth and Genova inserted a pen into his mouth.
“Concentrate, don’t swallow her with your eyes, you can’t date a celebrity like you, remember?” He said.
Craig removed the pen and rubbed his eyes.
He looked at Bae again, wondering if it’s really her.
They had two more classes after that and no breaks in-between.
“Thanks girls” Polly said after the classes.
” It’s nothing, and welcome back Trinidad” Quincy replied.
” Thanks Riri, I still have a lot to thank you and Izzy for, despite everything I did to you guys, you saved me” Trinidad smiled.
” Just hold your head up, don’t be scared” Izzy smiled and Trinidad hugged her before hugging Izzy.
“But Bae, it’s illegal to dress to ki|| like this, seriously you should keep doing bangs” Polly said.
” I know I’m pretty” Bae smiled.
“Someone is being Ç0ç?y” Quincy said and they all laughed before leaving the class together.
They went for dance practice together and Genny was the first to leave after the practice, making Quincy wonder why.
She got a text from him and smiled after checking.
*YOUR BOYFRIEND MISSES YOU I THINK, YOU SHOULD COME SEE HIM, HE’S GREATLY LOVESICK*
“Loverboy” she said and got in the car.
“How was today?” Kimberly asked.
“Splendid” she smiled as Kimberly drove.
*****
THE ALEJANDRO’S MANSION, 7PM**
Quincy couldn’t wait to see Genova again, she needs to admit that she misses him
Yeah it’s crazy and she’s admitting that too.
She kept swiping her phone screen, reading comments on the trending pictures.
The Choi family posted the pictures and also tweeted about how Genova paid the bills.
The comments are so sweet and the pictures are trending, Genova will surely get more fans with this.
She looked at his eyes in the picture and smiled.
“He’s cute” she said, looking at herself beside him, wishing she hadn’t used mask.
“Don’t take too long” Kimberly said.
“Sure” she replied and went into the house.
” Quincy!” Hanna said shockingly when she appeared.
“Heard my sweetheart is sick” she smiled.
“He has been sick since he hasn’t been able to speak with you, thanks for coming Quincy” she replied, giving her an hug before leading her to Reece’s room.
Reece sprang up from the bed immediately he saw her.
“Quincy” he said, rushing to give her an hug.
Hanna left the room.
“I missed you like mad” he said.
“Same here sweetheart, I’m so sorry I know you’re mad at me” Quincy replied.
” I’m not mad at you, I’m just glad you finally came but at least, try to reply my messages if you can’t pick calls, I understand you” he replied.
She smiled, trying to break the hug but he held tight.
He only broke it when he dimmed fit.
He held her face and smiled, looking into her eyes.
“I missed you” he said.
“I’ll make you heal up with my stay” she smiled.
“There’s something in your hair” he lied and pretended like he really wants to remove something.
He leaned in, raising his hand to her hair but immediately his hand touched it, he pulled her closer forcefully and smashed his lips on hers.
Her bag fell from hers and her eyes widened.
Genova came in that moment and his eyes almost left their sockets in disbelief.
Quincy pushed Reece away and faced the door to see Genova standing, looking at them.
“Genny” she muttered shockingly.
Genova left the room immediately.
“Genny I can explain it’s not what you think” Quincy said, wanting to rush after him but Reece pulled her back.
“Explain what?” He asked.
TBC.
