Guilty Pleasures: Love in Bloom

"Why are you doing this?..." her usual domineering tone turned extraordinarily soft in a heartbeat as her rosy red lips quivered softly. Her breathing hitched as she felt a cold hand on her nape pulling her head closer. She looked up and a pair of sterling silver eyes caught her gaze. His silver locks fell on his forehead covering it entirely as he looked down at her to acknowledge her question. "You are the reason I do everything Kiaraa..." _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ A war between fire and ice, the outcome could never be estimated. Their lives were so close yet it felt so far at the same time. He wanted her despite the dispute surrounding them but what could Lee Kiaraa possibly possess to make Adrian Kim go to the end of the world just for her? She was short tempered, strong, witty and independent. Her words alone held fire in them and every action of hers had indecisive reasons. She was a trouble magnet but she couldn't care less about her problems as she had a powerful family to back her up. But even with the power she held, her troubles still caught up to her and she had no other choice but to depend on him for help. Not knowing him too well, she trusted him blindly and he helped her with silent reasons, guiding her with utmost care like she was a fragile egg. His actions held many questions but she couldn't say a word but rather masked her curiosity with her mischievous acts. Blinded by her problems, she wondered if he was really her ally or her enemy. His reasons finally came to light when she realized that he was the root of all her problems. A glimpse of her vague memory from childhood gradually unfolds. The situation seemed deeper than she comprehended but it seemed to late for her, she had fallen... Would she accept him when she eventually knows the truth?

EXCLUSIVE EVENT

Ambrosia Estate, Austin...

"Somi, are you sure we shouldn't take you to a hospital?" Min asked worriedly as he handed her a glass of brown sugar water and massaged her stomach gently with essential oil and the girl groaned in pain.

"No Min, it's too embarrassing to go to the hospital... sob... my tummy aches a lot... sob... sob." Somi groaned as she forced some tears out of her eyes.

The sight made Min choke on his words. He was baffled as to what to do. Although, he had seen many situations like this but still he wasn't prepared at all for this. He glanced at Arin by the door with a glass of water in her hands and she just shrugged nonchalantly as she glared at Somi on the bed.

Presently, they were in Somi's room and the girl was curled up in a blanket with tears spilling from her eyes all in the name of period cramps. Arin would be a fool if she would believe her as they had both been chatting lightly when she got a call from God knows who and then all of a sudden she had period cramps and not to mention that Somi was one of those lucky girls in the world who didn't feel a thing during their period.

This has earned her a little envy from the members of Ultraviolet. While the other girls would have to keep a cheerful face and still perform with vigorous choreographies despite the pain, Somi would never feel a thing and thus she was considered really lucky.

"And you, what did you do? Why couldn't you take care of her? You're a girl so you should know a lot about these things," having nothing to do, Min decided to vent his anger out on his sister and Arin scoffed.

"Like I care, you should be lucky that I didn't burn down this house before you got back all because that brat over there had period cramps all of a sudden." Arin countered and eyed Somi who was continuously winking at her to keep her act a secret.

Min raked his hands through his inky black hair and his amber eyes blazed with intensity. Arin was right, considering her cooking skills, it could be considered a miracle that she could manage to boil water without the fire truck making a U-turn towards their house.

"I'll be back." He muttered softly and stepped out of the room.

The minute he walked out, Arin shut the door with a loud bang and shot death glares at Somi.

"Spill it." She muttered and Somi gulped hard. She had to admit, that both the Lee Sisters were very scary when they wanted to.

"Your sister told me to do it." Somi spluttered hurriedly with eyes tightly shut like a kid who was just caught right in the act.

"Explain.."

"She called me and told me that I should call Min in five minutes and make up an excuse for him to come home," Somi explained and this time she let out a breath that she never knew she held as she felt the pressure die down gradually.

Arin slumped on the sofa in the bedroom and glanced at the girl who was sitting on the bed with heads down looking like an aggrieved puppy and she snorted.

"Say, Somi have you ever considered acting?" She jeered sarcastically and Somi's baby blue eyes shone with full vigor as a wide grin was plastered on her tear-stricken face.

She rushed towards the edge of a bed, long forgetting about her act. "Really!! I would love to be an actress too like Glacier," she replied and her eyes sparkled with interest.

Arin facepalmed herself with a sardonic look. The stupid girl obviously didn't get the sarcasm. How stupid can she be? There's actually a limit to one's stupidity ok?

She stared at Somi again and shook her head. 'When will she ever grow up?' She's twenty but she has the brain of a five-year-old kid.

It was already evening by the time Kiaraa got home as she had some errands to run regarding her company. Her team has been searching for a rare gem lately for her latest designs but all to no avail, they couldn't get a heads up about its location.

She squinted slightly as she gave a loud yawn.

"If you are that hungry then have something to eat rather than swallowing the world with that big mouth of yours."

The corner of her eyes twitched slightly before tilting her head in the direction of the voice. She spotted Mia sitting by the stairs while playing with her phone, her head never looked up all this while.

"There's a chair in the house Mia just in case you haven't noticed and it is used for sitting, ok?" She responded and Mia finally looked up. Her face was expressionless for a while before a malicious smile rose up to her face.

"Darling besty, follow me to a party tomorrow, ok?" Mia coaxed as she walked up to her friend and patted her smooth cheeks softly in an attempt to melt her icy heart.

"No thanks Mia, I have work to do," Kiaraa replied as she made her way toward the kitchen. Crystelle had a huge event coming up plus the issue with the gem, she couldn't waste her time partying all day.

Mia pouted lightly, If the first trial didn't work then she had other plans up her sleeves.

"Please darling Ara, It's an exclusive event and there will be lots of cute boys too." she pleaded again and ran up to her friend trying to catch up with her.

"Who sent you?" Kiaraa asked and Mia paused,

'How did she find out?' She questioned in her head but couldn't come up with any possible answer.

"Li Shen sent me." Mia could only come clean, who knows what else she found out. Kiaraa paused and turned abruptly.

"You've met Shen already?" She asked and Mia nodded.

Gosh!!! She was just in detention for an hour, how much could she miss within a short time?

"Still no, I have a lot of work to do?" She replied and walked towards the dining room only to find Arin and Min there.

Mia snorted behind her, "Work, work, work, all you ever do is work." She complained and her phone chimed indicating a text and a huge grin settled on her face as she read its contents.

"If Mohammed doesn't go to the nountain then the mountain will go to Mohammed instead."
