I barely got back to the hotel room that night on time and managed to squeeze in six hours of sleepâreally goodâbefore Tae-Xâs alarm went off and woke me up. It was now Sunday, June 11th, the day before our second concert, though that didnât stop us from filming today. The rehearsal and then the concert would be part of the TV showâthe end of our long, successful, and flatteringly edited week.
I skipped breakfast. Iâd been really good about keeping the diet, until that fateful night of ice cream with Leyla, which had of course been followed by a brownie and now the hometown food weâd eaten last night. Every single time Iâd met her Iâd eaten food that wasnât JNP-approved. Maybe it was because being with her felt like freedom.
But it was a fleeting freedom. I couldnât keep eating in secret and not pay the consequences.
So I turned down the smoothie, even though my stomach growled. I smiled and laughed and joked so that even Seojung wasnât suspicious, and he was hard to fool.
We were all out on the beach at dawn. I stood on the sand and looked out at the endless horizon, chilly air playing with my hair and bringing some life to my lungs. I would be glad when the makeup artist finished up with Laon and moved on to me, because I looked more exhausted than ever. When Iâd woken up this morning and glanced in the mirror, Iâd thought of a vampire. My skin was unusually pale and the shadows under my eyes were worse than ever. Maybe if JNP had given us one day to breathe and recover, I wouldâve been better, but after two years of this I was way beyond burned-out. I wasnât even sure I remembered how it felt to be normal.
Leyla made me feel normal....
I sucked in a breath, looking out at the golden sun just breaking over the horizon.
I turned around when I heard the click of a camera. Sun Chi-Ho was next to me, holding his phone, no doubt taking pictures of everything.
âSorry, I didnât mean to disturb you,â he said, eyes wide.
I smiled. âOh, you didnât!â I said buoyantly. âHow are your pictures turning out?â
Sun Chi-Ho looked down at his screen. âIâm not sure yet. Iâm trying to figure out how to tell a story in the photo.â
âYou want me to look at it?â
âOh, thatâs okay,â he said, looking embarrassed and uncomfortable. âIâll probably show you later.â
I laughed. âOk, then. I look forward to it.â
The makeup artist finally made it around to me, and Sun Chi-Ho ran offâever the little brother of Tr3sure.
Though more distractions continued to pelt at me throughout the busy hours, my thoughts kept returning to one thing. All day there was an internal battle ripping me apart.
After last night, I had to come to grips with my own feelings. About Leyla.
When Iâd first spotted her last night on the balcony I couldnât even breathe. Her presence hit me like a sack of bricks.
