บท 11: Get ready to meet BTS

Pink Villa, Star City

As soon as Alice stepped into the so-called apartment, she was awestruck. Her thoughts wandered back to the lavish childhood she had because of her Dad. She never saw her mother because she left after she was born. Practically speaking, her mother was dead in her eyes. Though being a celebrity pop star from an young age, her Dad, Jones Buds, raised her in a single-handed way. When he retired, he vanished from the public eye, & instilled the good habits & practices in her. He taught her to feel, write & create the best of the best music. That's why she the Alice she's today. Daniel told she's moving into a new apartment, but it turned out to be a Villa.

"Hey! Where's my apartment?", Alice pouted.

"The place where we're standing", Daniel replied as a matter-of-fact.

"But it's a Villa!"

"So what? My future wife should learn how to lead a lavish lifestyle, right?"

"Oh I see."

"No more talking. The first room upstairs is your bedroom, the second one is for your practice & the third one is the study. You can write your lyrics there."

"Wow", Alice almost clapped her hands from excitement. Daniel was extremely amused. Then he patted his large hand on her head & said, "Get ready to meet BTS."

Hearing the name of BTS, Alice's eyes sparkled & she felt excited.

The dashing RM

The confident Jin

The smiley J-Hope

The cute Jimin

The shy, innocent Jungkook

The humble V

The warm-hearted, Suga

I'm coming, my seven idols! Get ready for the biggest fan tribute ever!!! But mind you! My biggest idol is my beloved Dan...🥰

Gala Cafe, Southern Avenue

That afternoon, Rose drank & drank until she felt some numbness. She was cackling like a crazy while many people recognized her. Her cackling made many people feel chills down their spines. Many people even captured her photos & videos online. The result? She's gone viral!

"Honesty gets drunk" made to the top of online searches. She was drooling & drooping when someone appeared who demanded her conscious attention. She saw Daniel with many high officials arriving at the five star cafe. Probably for an important meeting. Actually, she fell in love with him, despite the fact that he was Alice's boyfriend. She never knew how, but she was aware that she had fallen for him. That's why, she drugged Alice with the help of Peach & Sofia. She'd thought that if someone random would rape Alice, Daniel would eventually turn away from her. Then, Daniel would be hers! But lo! Not only did he rescue her, he even stood up for her. Her only hope was shattered.

Rose stood up from her seat and stumbled towards him. She could barely keep up her body but eventually she reached the stairway that Daniel & his clients were ascending. She called out in an high pitched manner, "Daniel!"

Daniel halted in his steps after hearing his name being called. He turned his head to look down & saw the disheveled face of Rose, full of smiles. He furrowed his brows with disgust. She wreaked of alcohol & was totally out of balance.

"Sir, do you know her?", one of the clients queried.

"No!", he replied in a way, loud enough for Rose to hear. After seeing his beautiful girl for half of the day, the face of the vixen greatly disgusted & irritated him. Disgust was clearly written in his face. Without waiting for any reply, Daniel climbed up the stairs & the bunch of clients followed him. His rude denial made Rose hang her face in shock.

The appearance of a certain vixen caused Daniel's mood to be greatly affected. His voice, his eyes, everything seemed cold & distant. No one dared to utter a sound during the meeting.

Eddie was sulking in the garden with a magazine in hand when her phone rang. Her eyes lit up when she saw the name.

"Hello? Bro?"

"Hey!"

"How did you meet Alice again?",Eddie poured out her curious nature.

Hearing the pleasant name, Daniel's mood greatly improved. He explained his meeting with Alice to his little sister.

"I see", she concluded, "Rose is such a witch! But no worries! Alice will surely rise up from ashes."

"Hmm...you're right!"

"Aren't you coming back?"

"Not yet."

"It doesn't matter", she said in an imposing manner, "Bring her along for dinner sometime soon."

"Sure", Daniel would never deny something like that.

Eddie hang up the phone & went to the kitchen. It's time for her to do some baking. Because Eddie bakes when she's happy! 😁

After much wastage of papers, she came up with some lyrics. Her idea was that how a girl explains her one-sided love. She titled it 'Sparks'

My sparks flew but

Over your head,

I ended up crying

All night in bed.

You're sweet & humble

Oh yeah! They say,

But your heart won't

Allow my way!

I knew my sparks

They never flew your way

But I left them

On their own

To fly away!!

My sparks grew

Each night & day,

But your heart won't

Allow my way!

My sparks raged

All through the storm,

But my heart was gobbled up!

Like a robin & it's worm!!

...

The girl's mournful singing could be heard as soon as Daniel entered the Villa. He slowly ascended the steps, in a way not to startle her. When he slowly pushed open her practice room, the girl had already ran into his arms. She then asked in a sweet voice, "How was it?"

"Great!"

"Really?", her eyes twinkled.

"Yes, actually there's already an audition for you. A female artist from our company was selected for a music video, but they aren't able to decide on a good song. If you're ready, then we can post the lyrics along with an audio clip under your name & our agency. What do you think?", Daniel was waiting for her reply.

Alice was overjoyed that she started jumping up & down. "I'm ready! I'm ready! I'll join the auditions", she yelled.

"Okay, then tomorrow. We'll head for the studio to record the audio clip & later we can send it to the director of the video. I'm sure they'll be impressed."

Alice nodded on his words.
