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?

ROAD TO HELL

"Ara, your dinner is ready," Arin screamed at the top of her lungs and Kiaraa frowned. Was it too late to send this Ultraviolet crew back to South Korea? Her once quiet and peaceful home has now turned into the den of a bunch of noisy and malicious brats.

"No thanks I have to study," Kiaraa replied and was about to step out when,

Crash!!!

The sound of plates breaking was heard. She turned and looked at everyone just to find out that they all had widened eyes as if a volcano just erupted in their heads.

Big question marks were seen popping out from her head and she couldn't help but wonder what she did wrong.

'Was it a grammatical blunder? Gosh!!! English is not my first language, ok?'

(A/N: I feel your pain darling.)

"Guys, what's wrong?" She asked as she looked behind her just to confirm that there was no celebrity behind her for them to give such a big reaction. But come to think of it, her actions were a little bit absurd seeming that there were already three big celebrities in her house.

Instead of answering Kiaraa's question, Arin just stared at her brother dumbfoundedly as she voiced, "Quick Min, call the ambulance. Ara wants to study there must be something wrong with her head."

'Stab'

As if that wasn't enough, Mia walked up to her and touched her forehead, "It's burning," she looked at Arin and she nodded before turning back towards Kiaraa. "If you are really Kiaraa, tell me what secret thing did we do during your thirteenth birthday?"

'Another stab'

The answer was simple, if Kiaraa could actually remember anything from her thirteenth birthday, then there's a problem, considering she has short-term amnesia from time to time.

Kiaraa just stared at the trio with a baffled expression. "Are you guys trying to say that..."

"Yes, Ara, you and the verb studying are like the north and south pole," Min commented.

"Yeah, I wonder how she passes all her exams considering that I have never seen her opening a book. I wonder what prompted her towards studying today." Arin added.

Kiaraa listened to their comments with narrowed eyes and she shrugged off their words and turned around in the direction of her room.

"Good luck with your studying.." She heard Mia's voice and she could swear that she really felt like cutting the girl's tongue off.

___________

In her room...

After having her bath, she was donned in a purple floral pajamas before striding toward her reading table. She picked up her history textbook and opened it and the first thing that welcomed her was the reading plan Adrian had drawn out for her. Unknowingly, a small smile settled on her thin lips.

She flipped the book for what seemed like hours while in reality, it was only two minutes before letting out a heavy sigh as she closed the book, glaring at it like it was her worst enemy.

She fiddled with the study plan for a while and she stared at it admiring his neat and beautiful handwriting. She thought for a while wondering how a person could be this perfect. Unknowing to her that she was yet to see all of his capabilities.

She walked up to her bed and turned off the light, darkness enshrouding the whole room. As she settled her head on the pillow, her mind quickly wandered off to what happened during their trip home.

__________

After stepping down from the private jet, it was late at night and luckily Min had arrived at the airport early enough to pick them up.

Settled in the back seat, Kiaraa had her eyes closed tightly and the rest assumed that she was asleep and they immediately began their discussion.

"I heard what's going on with the group." Min began and Arin scoffed.

"Unless your name is google, you need to stop knowing things," She said with arms crossed as she stared out of the window enjoying the bright view of the foreign city.

"Of course, as long as it doesn't concerns the people I love," Min replied as he expertly handled the car with one hand.

"Whatever!!!" Arin sneered loudly and Somi who had been quiet the whole time finally spoke.

"Hey, you guys should keep it down." She whispered and all heads snapped towards Kiaraa who still had her eyes tightly shut.

Silence ensued after that until Min finally spoke again.

"So what's going to happen?"

"I honestly do not know," Arin replied and he noticed the sad tone in her voice. Who wouldn't be this sad when everything you've ever worked for was turning into ashes and your hands was tied. Arin was a strong girl and for her to be bothered, only means that the intensity of the situation has skyrocketed to another level.

"It's an unspoken rule in showbiz that once an idol group gains popularity, jealousy is bound to erupt somewhere. In fact Glacier going to China for a movie was just to distract the public." Somi commented and Arin nodded, agreeing with her.

The whole situation played out as a joke in her head. If one member of a group was busy with solo activities then the rest could carry out other solo activities but instead, they were sent on a break.

Two months? She wishes.

Who knows what's next? Who knows what story they are going to make up next just to remove Ultraviolet from the spotlight and with all this, their current position in the entertainment industry seemed to be threatened and it was all because of...

"Everything's going to be fine," Min muttered softly and they all nodded, trying so hard to believe in his words.

"Of course it will, I didn't waste two years of my life for nothing. If Ultraviolet is going down, they are all going down." Arin replied with a malicious glint flashing across her deep amber eyes.

Min stared at her for a while. If he wasn't born, who knows what havoc his two sisters might cause in the world.

"Should I investigate?" He offered to at least carry out things more rationally.

"No," she replied as she played with her hair. "Let's play the dummy for a while, then I'll show them the road to hell otherwise my name isn't Lee Arin."
