BEAUTY IN DISGUISE - CHAPTER 93&94
★★★★★
FIVE WEEKS LATER**
A RESTAURANT**
Kimberly walked in, looking stunning in her dress.
She stood still and scanned the whole place.
A wide smile escaped her lips when she saw Asbel.
“Did I keep you waiting?” She asked, taking her seat.
” Yes” he replied.
” I’m sorry, Quincy delayed me by acting cute” she explained.
” I’m happy for her, she’s still trending crazily, thanks to you too, you’re doing a good job as her manager” he smiled.
” I know right?, But the fact that that Clara girl is coming back soon, heard her manager is a psycho while Clara herself is arrogant” she replied.
” Haven’t you heard about Winston?” He asked.
” Win-Win?, The male category star, I know” she said.
“If you’re saying Clara is arrogant, then what about him” he laughed.
” He’s arrogant too?”
” I don’t have to tell the story, wait till they both come back, I wonder how they both manage to have that strong fan base when their personality sucks” he said.
” Winston’s fan base is strong but Clara’s has been destroyed by my Quincy, she’s not Quincy’s match anymore” Kimberly said.
” I know right? ”
“What about Echo?, Is she getting acquainted with school?” She asked.
” Maybe, she’s brilliant but h@??s books, but she’s complaining less and less these days though, I hope is continues that way till she’ll blend perfectly” he replied.
” I’m glad, we’ve been talking non-stop for ten minutes” she checked the time.
” What should we eat?” He asked.
“Anything you eat, I’ll eat too” she replied and he smiled.
He called the server and ordered an Italian dish.
“Kimberly” he called when the server had gone to get their orders.
” Yes?” She smiled.
” Has anyone ever told you how pretty you are?’ he asked.
“Don’t tryna make me blush” she replied though she can feel her cheeks heating up already.
” Matter of flatly” he said.
She covered her cheeks with her palms.
” When I saw you at the store that day, you have no idea how hard I palpitated, seriously you melted my heart at first glance’ he said.
She’s unaware of when her hands fell from her cheeks, the redness made Asbel smile.
” Joahaeyo” he said.
“I might have lived with Quincy for half of my life but trust me I don’t understand Korean language” she replied.
” I like you” he said and her fists became balled on the table.
” Jeongmal joahaeyo ( I like you a lot )” he said.
“It’s not love?” She asked.
“Then do you love me?” He asked carefully.
“I…. dunno” she replied.
“Really?” He asked.
” I mean…I…. think about you everyday and….you appear in my dreams, you make me happy at every date and outing, you…. you’re handsome too, I love everything about you, then… everything” she said and he smiled at her cuteness.
” You love everything about me?”
“Yes” she replied.
“So if I kiss you right now, you won’t slap me?” He asked.
” Huh?”
Asbel stood and leaned to her own side of the table, resting his palm on the table.
She looked up at him as he leaned forward and placed his lips on hers.
She slowly closed her eyes and not minding the others in there, they kissed gently.
“I love you Kim” he said when he finally broke it.
“Saran….
She stopped, not knowing the remaining.
” It’s saranghae” he said.
” Saranghae” she said and he laughed before returning to his seat as the server came with their meal.
********
MAYBELLINE COLLEGE**
“I’m the happiest person in the whole universe, gosh I’m just so happy!” Echo screamed after the last paper.
The exams took just one week and it has been hectic but it finally ended today.
“Lazybones” Polly said beside her.
She got closer with the girls in the past five weeks and it’s still surprising how that happened.
She rolled eyes at Polly and Polly giggled.
“You seriously don’t know how much I h@?? school, if I get to be the ruler of the whole world and I have the chance to chose between schools and just one cube of sugar, I’d rather accept the cube of sugar and provide fuel to burn the schools in the whole world down” she said and The girls laughed.
” Just admit that you’re lazy” Quincy said.
” I told you to stop calling me lazy” she replied.
” Lazy girl” Trinidad said.
” Yah!!’ she shouted and they laughed again.
” Finally this semester is over, next level next semester” Bae said.
” Next troubles too, the newbies” Trinidad said.
” I’m expecting new enemies, I seriously can’t wait for next semester” Echo smiled.
” I knew it, why else will you be interested in next semester if not to fight” Quincy said.
” But why is the break short, just three weeks, it’s unfair seriously, Quincy can’t you talk to your mother-in-law?” Echo said.
” Go meet her yourself, aren’t you also a student of this great institution?” Quincy rolled eyes.
Echo fell on her chair.
” So who’s traveling?” Polly asked.
Quincy and Trinidad raised their hands.
“I’m going to Australia with my sunshine, to see my dad and visit my mum’s grave” she said.
” Visiting Disneyland in Paris with Red” Trinidad said.
“I have to practice more towards the coming KOREA’S GOT TALENT so I’m not traveling, I normally h@?? traveling” Echo said.
” I have numerous $h00ts with Craig so no chance” Bae said.
“Quincy you have $h00ts too” Polly said.
” I’ll talk with the industry, I’ll have them shifted” she replied.
” I and Izzy will cuddle ourselves at home” Polly said.
“Exactly” Izzy said, coming in.
” Where have you been?” Quincy asked.
” Gennie was talking to me” she replied.
” Gist us!” Izzy and Bae chorused.
” He told me to go on a date with him tomorrow” she replied.
” Then?” Trinidad said.
” I rejected” Izzy replied.
” The hell!, Why?, Seems like he likes you” Bae said.
“I dunno” Izzy replied.
“Leave her to decide for herself” Echo said.
” So Polly is was your dog, the mad dog that chased I and Reece” Echo said.
” I left the house in a hurry, I’m a ?îtçh for forgetting my Kai, I went back for it but couldn’t find it, that’s why it became stray, luckily the guards of the estate found it and I was contacted, I got my cute pet back” Polly winked.
” You have no idea how that thing chased us, it was behaving mad, maybe because it was hungry, you better treat it” Echo said.
” It’s getting treatment already” Polly said.
” So..you ran cos of a dog” Bae laughed.
” Oh you mean I should have stayed and introduced myself like….hi my name is Echo Han” Echo said and everyone laughed again.
” You should have seen it’s eyes, I’m sure it’d have devoured my B??@š?s” Echo said.
” Which B??@š??” Gennie said, passing by.
” Haven’t I told you to stop talking to me?” Echo glared
” You were lying and I can’t just watch, you’re B??@š?-less” Gennie said.
Echo threw a textbook at him and he quickly ran out .
“Guys guys!, Travis is coming back next semester, he’ll be joining us in here” Trinidad said.
” That handsome soloist?, Whoa, and why is everyone coming back, is something gonna happen?” Polly said.
” That’s why I can’t wait, heard one idiotic Clara and stupid Win-Win will be coming back too, Jeez!, I’m literally gonna die of excitement” Echo said .
” We planned to go hang out tonight, everyone” Quincy said.
” Yes, at the park, we’re going to ride the rollercoaster and visit the karaoke” Trinidad said.
” Park?, We’re not children” Echo said.
” Does it matter?, It’s just for fun” Bae said.
” So… Quincy, you told us you’ll share your first s*x experience with Genny” Izzy said.
” Yes I totally forgot” Bae said.
“Why are you just reminding me when we did it severally already” Quincy replied and they all screamed.
” You’re a badass” Trinidad said.
“Thanks, he’s addictive” Quincy winked.
” I’m jealous!, But what about you Trinidad? ” Izzy asked.
” Tonight, we planned to try it out tonight” she replied.
” OMG babe, I can imagine your Mõ@?s already” Polly said.
“I’m still so scared” Trinidad said.
“So Bae?” Quincy asked.
“We started dating five weeks ago so it’s still limited to kiss and caress, we might try it out during the break though” Bae replied.
Polly looked at Izzy and they both hugged.
“We’re pathetic” Polly said.
“I know right?” Izzy replied.
Echo inhaled.
“Why aren’t you saying anything?” Quincy asked.
“I’m speechless, I’ve never kissed” she replied.
” What!’ they all chorused.

SUNSHINE ENTERTAINMENT**
Genny met Reece on seat with their managers when he came in.
Gennie came in after him.
“I’m sorry for the lateness” he said.
“It’s ok, have your seats” manager Ian replied.
They took their seats beside Reece.
” You guys should know why we summoned you both, are you both planning to cut us off?”
” No” Genny replied.
“Then why is there no updates even after Reece recovered?, It’s somehow”
“We’re sorry, we were just in a tight corner” Genny said.
” And now?”
” We’re back together” he replied and Reece looked at him.
” Sure?” Manager Ian asked
” Yes sir” Genny replied.
“Reece?”
Reece kept quiet for a while before talking.
” Yes” he said slowly.
“Ok cool, and welcome to sunshine entertainment Neva, Genova told us everything” Ian said.
Geneva bowed.
” Let’s checkout what you’ve got, follow me” Ian replied and stood.
He left with the other managers.
” Can I really do it?” Geneva asked.
“Trust me and just go I love you” Genova replied and slightly pushed him into the studio.
He faced Reece after that.
“You don’t feel like ki||ing me?” Reece asked.
” Like sending me on errand to the afterlife?, You still want me in the band?” Reece added
” We started together, you were a good person till you started following Hanna’s steps, you changed your ways cos of her, that wasn’t you when you were behaving jerky, it was what Hanna made you become” Genny said.
” Quincy..
“Quincy told me you always ask for forgiveness anytime you both meet, she told me she won’t forgive you till I tell her to do that” Genny interrupted and Reece went on his knees immediately.
“Get up” Genny said.
“I just thought it was fun, making girls fall for me and ending up giving them heartbreaks” he replied.
” What gave you that evil thought?”
” I dunno, I just woke up with the devilish thought one day, I’m so sorry” Reece replied.
” Get up I said” Genny said but Reece kept kneeling.
Genny went to him and pulled him up them hugged him.
“Promise me you’ll go back to your lovely personality” he said.
” I promise, let’s go back to how we were before, we might be stepbrothers but let’s behave like real brothers” Reece replied, hugging him back.
Genny smiled and broke the hug.
“Of course, let’s do that”
“Will your twin accept me?, I’m somehow scared” Reece asked.
“He might be crazy but he’s sweet, trust me he will” Genny said and Reece smiled
” Will he join us?”
” Of course, after some months of training, trust me he’s good, you need to hear his voice” Genny replied, going into the studio with Reece.
Geneva is in the booth already, ready to sing, he’s with the guitar
He played the intro and started singing.
? Sarang… it’s very beautiful
? I never realized till I set my eyes on you.
? I wanna show you what I feel
? But I really dunno how.
? Should I just hold your waist and kiss your lips?
? Should I rather hug you and share your warmth?
? Or hold your hands and kiss the back of it?
? neo yeppeuda, neomu saranghae
?/ Will you please stay?
?/ Don’t leave my side
?/ Don’t hurt me, rather love me too
?/ Cos I fell hard for you.
?/ I don’t wanna stop….
?/ ..Stop loving you
“Bravo bravo bravo!!!” Manager Ian shouted.
Geneva who has his eyes closed opened it.
“Come please, this is just enough…. this is talent”
Gennie came out and Genny patted him.
” I told you” he said.
” Your voice I love it, it’s tinier than Genny’s, more high-pitched too” Ian said.
” I know, he’s the real born singer” Genny smiled.
” Training starts 4pm everyday” Ian said.
“I’ve been accepted?”
” Of course, what else do we need?, You just have to take care of the shakiness, are you scared?, Your voice was shaking slightly” the second manager said.
” He’s slightly scared so don’t go hard on him please” Genny whispered
“I get it, Reece started that way too, I have to go check on the ongoing auditions, I’ll come back in a jiffy” Ian said and left with the others.
” You did it, didn’t I tell you?” Genny said.
“My voice was shaking” Gennie replied, touching his throat.
” You need training, you’ll be good trust me, your training starts here tommorow” Genny replied.
” The managers and trainers aren’t scary right?, I have a bad temper” Gennie said.
” They aren’t”
Gennie faced Reece.
“Olympia” he said and Reece gave him a confused look.
“Olympia?”
“That night, you ran Olympics after I scared you a bit, I should have made a video” Gennie laughed.
” You were the one?” Reece said surprisingly.
“I even got wounded, but are you sure you have a ?ï?k?” Genny said, walking to Reece.
He touched Reece’s ?ï?k in his trousers.
“What are you doing!” Reece shifted back.
“Your ?ï?k is quiet big, full grown banana” Geneva winked.
” He’s a pervert” Reece whispered to Genova.
“That’s what I’ve been living with” Genova replied.
” You don’t deserve that big ?ï?k, you deserve a p@zzy instead, how could you be a coward with that big commando under you” Geneva said.
” Tell him to stop talking” Reece said to Genny.
” Sorry he’s not someone who’ll stop talking just because someone told him to” Genova said.
” Well, seems like my moonshine forgave you so I guess we can be friends” Geneva said and Reece made to hug him but Gennie stopped him.
“Only Genny is allowed to hug me, stay back” he said and Reece smiled.
“You’re dramatic” he said.
” Thank you” Gennie pouted and hugged Genny.
” Please don’t start” Genny pushed him away slightly.
******
8PM, A KARAOKE**
The guys are sitting while the girls are on stage with microphones, ready to sing.
“So far this Echo girl is with them, if you love your ears please cover it” Reece said.
“Quincy’s voice is good everywhere” Genny said.
“I understand that language” Gennie whispered beside him.
“Bae’s voice is worse” Craig said.
“Trinidad is a born singer” Reece said.
” Izzy has a normally tiny voice and Stonia… I can’t risk my ears” Gennie said.
TRINIDAD: Come a little closer cos you looking thirsty
I’mma make it better, sip it like a slurpee
QUINCY: Snow cone chilly
Get it free like Willy
In the jeans like Billie
You be Poppin like a wheelie
ECHO: Even in the sun!!!!
You know how I keep it icy!!!
You should take a lick but it’s too cold to bite me!!!
Echo started shedding fake tears as she sang out of the line.
Her voice is really out of it.
“See?, I said it, when it’s not funeral” Reece said.
The girls had to drop their mics and watch her as she continued singing rubbish.
?Brr brr, frozen!!!!
You’re the one been chosen!!!!
Play the part like Moses!!!!
Keep it fresh like roses!!!!
Oh!!!!!!!!!!!!
Everyone covered their ears as she screamed.
“Echo!” Polly shouted but she continued with her business.
Bae exchanged glances with Izzy and they jointly carried her out of the karaoke.
******
PARK**
“I definitely don’t want to ride the rollercoaster” Quincy said as everyone started climbing.
“Don’t you trust me?, I’ll hold your hand throughout” Genny said.
Izzy struggled to climb her seat and someone suddenly helped her up.
Gennie carried her from behind and made her sit beside Polly
He smiled at her before climbing too.
Quincy climbed with Genny after much pleading.
Now only Echo and Reece are left.
“You’re a scared cat right?, You obviously are scared of it” she mocked.
Reece smirked and climbed.
Echo giggled and climbed too, sitting beside him.
“Ok we’re moving” Red said as the coaster set.
” Sure” Reece said.
Everyone held their boyfriends tightly.
Polly held Izzy, Gennie is alone.
The rollercoaster started rolling, slowly at first but suddenly it started rolling fast.
Reece felt the world spinning and his intestines gone.
“Mum!!!!!!!!!!!” He screamed loudly
