Chapter 6

( Y/n POV )

Our noses touched. I was quite surprised by it. I wanted to break this awkwardness but didn't know-how.

" Em... " I said. That was even more awkward.

* Knock × 4 *

" HEESUNG-AH!!! YOUR MOM IS HERE!! " It was Taehyun's voice shouted. I turned away from his face and made way for him to get up to meet his mom. He was indeed a lifesaver right there. Thank you, Taehyun.

" Tell your mom that I said hi. " I said and went to unpack my luggage.

" O-h, o-k. " He replied and went out. God, my heart was about to drop. Why the heck that I racing like crazy? I don't like him. It was a suddenly met.

* Ring × 3 *

It was granny this time. I told my new number to my sister and granny only. I didn't want to communicate with my parents.

" Hi, granny! " I greeted her.

[ My goddess, I saw you on TV today. What is this? Fendi brand ambassador? ] She said and I laughed. Granny was the only elderly in the family who supported it. Because of her, I had today. She always let me sneaked out for my photoshoot, interview, part-time work, and travel abroad.

" Granny! It was 2 days ago. " I said.

[ The news just released today. Did you sign the contract? How long? ] She asked.

" Hmm... 2 years. " I replied.

[ 2 years? That's little. You have like 5 years contract with LYS.  ] She said.

" Well, they saw that coming. Granny, how are you? Are you okay? Are you eating well? " I asked. I heard her sighed. I felt bad.

[ I'm old now. Health isn't stable like you. I'm eating well. Don't worry much about me. ] She said.

" How can I not worry about you? You are my granny. My only granny. I'm going to visit you soon. After this fashion month. " I said. I could hear her goggle.

[ Alright goddess, let's come to visit me after fashion month. I have to go and cook now. Goodbye, dear. ] She said and hung up. I missed her. I miss her food. Granny is already 70 years old but she still cooks for the family. My mom... Let's not talk about her.

| In the community area |

( Y/n POV )

It had been 4 days since I came from France. I started missing France. I was in the community area with my book surrounded by my group of friends.

" Y/n, just relax. It's the weekend. " Christine said after she saw me reading a book. I felt like I couldn't get enough of education. I was craving it every day. They were watching the Music show on TV. It was their normal thing to do.

" I can't. I need to learn. " I replied. Milo took my book away and read it.

" Before we invest in the stock market, we need to learn the balance of it.? " He read it out and shook his head.

" Those words are strong. " He said as he shook his head. He handed me back my book.

" So, what is your secret? " Mike asked. I was confused.

" What secret are you talking about? " I asked back. Don't tell that they knew about my dark secrets?

" Don't act as you did know. How can you become so rich this young? " Mike asked. I was relieved. Thank you, Jesus.

" I don't have any secret for that. I just learn and learn then, practice. " I replied.

" There is no way that you just learn and boom, Rich! Uncle Sam can't even do that. " Jennifer said. Do they all pay attention to me? Out of the blue?

" Hey, wise people are talking on YouTube to teach young folks like us to be rich. Read more books! Change your lifestyle. Change your mindset. It's not a secret at all. " I replied.

" It's sound like a lot of hard work... I'm going to stick with it now. " Christine said. God, why did they ask in the first place?

" Alright then. I continue reading. " I said and continued reading.

+ a Few moments later +

| In her dorm. |

" Y/N!!!! " Taehyun shouted from the door as he opened.  I was so surprised and dropped my book as I stood up to get a drink. I turned to him as he was catching his breath.

" WHAT DO YOU WANT?!? WHY ARE YOU SHOUTED? " I asked. He got his phone. My eyes wide opened.

[ Is Y/n currently dating someone? Who is that person? ] The title of the headline said with photos of me and Taehyun hugged each other at the airport.

[ Why is she in South Korea? Who is she visit after fashion week in Paris? ] Another headline said. I could feel my body became cold.

" This is my first rumour... " I said. I saw his panicking eyes. I couldn't help but...

" Hahaha! This is nothing! Let me give someone a call. " I said as I laughed. I took out my phone and called my manager.

" Yeah, hi. Have you seen it? " I asked.

[ Yeah, I saw. Now people thinking that you are bisexual now. HAHAHHA! ] My manager said and laughed. I laughed too.

" I knew. I knew. Can you like me... " I said.

[ Shut all the articles? The employees are doing their jobs. Let's them breathe. ] She said. Yes, my manager was a SHE.

" C'mon. I don't want to deal with all of that bullshit. " I said.

[ Well, kinda fair. Employees will do even more work. I already passed the case to the other employees to shut the article. You have to post a pic and caption it " First rumour! " Alright!? ] She said and laughed off. I laughed off too.

" I'm thinking about that too. Thank you! I need to go now! " I said.

[ I also have a nail appointment too. Bye! Bitch! ] She said and hung up. Well, my manager was gay. Do you know the pronouns thing? Yeah, she is my GBF.

( Taehyun POV )

I was so panicking about it. I thought it'd ruined her career. But, she was just laughed off like this. Unbelievable.

" So...? " I asked. She put her hand on my shoulder.

" Look, the model got those rumours like all the time. I just shut down all of the articles that related to it. Relaxed! " She said. Woah, that was a kinda reaction. It was quite unbelievable how she deals with rumours this well as if she was an expert.

" You said it was your first rumour..? " I asked. She laughed.

" Yeah, for dating. I got tons of rumours about me did plastic surgery, I bought buildings, and me being kidnapped. Relax. " She replied. God, I thought something bad might happen.

" Let's take a picture together. " She said and took out her phone for a pic.

" You don't use Snow? " I asked.

" What? No! I don't whitewash myself. " She replied.

" Stand still. " She said as she retouching the angle. She was a bit clumsy for that.

" Hey, This is too high. You will- " I tried to retouch the angle for her but...

" Oh! " She said as she fell like 160° and I hold her from fell to the floor. God, this chill.

I mean I was quite used to being hug by her but this. This was an awkward situation.
