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?

"... To our lovely fans around the world, it's your high-spirited and beautiful group leader here, Lili. We are so honored to Livestream our activities from another continent. While Glacier, our snowhite of K pop is in China shooting a movie called 'Love or hate me', our lead rapper and main dancer, MJ, is currently having a great time in one of those tropical islands of Africa. Where are the rest members of the group? It's easy, Xiao Mimi, Somi, and I are having a great time touring the beautiful city of Austin."

"It's so beautiful here," Mia chipped in and waved lightly at the camera in front of them with a gentle smile.

"That's right" Lili continued, "We'll be here during most of our break but I'll be going to New York tomorrow for an ad shoot with Xiao Mimi and Somi. I hope you can give us all your love and support."

"Just remember that we love you all dearly," Mia added and they both looked at Somi expecting her to say something and the girl just smiled sheepishly.

"Uhm... I'm hungry," Somi commented with eyes lowered and hands clutching at her grumbling stomach and the two girls beside her looked at her with widened eyes.

If it was any other idol, the comment section would have exploded with insults but this was Somi. The whole of Asia labeled anything she did as cute and just as expected, today's event wasn't an exception.

(OMG... little miss cutie is hungry, somebody, anybody, get our bunny some carrot.)

(Sigh... it's not even up to a month that they are gone, yet I already miss them. Somi cutie, send me your location, and I'll bring you some food.)

(She said she's hungry while doing a live chat? How unprofessional... Are you guys blinded or what? Why is no one scolding her?)

(Why should we scold her? She's our Nation's cutie. Quick!!! Someone get her some food before she dies. I won't stan Ultraviolet anymore if there is no cute Somi to stare at!)

(Marry me, Somi!)

The three girls read the comments from their fans silently and just as Lili was about to tamp down the situation, the door immediately flung open and Kiaraa walked in. She was wearing a short white crochet lace ruffle detail dress with white sneakers. A small diamond pendant hung lowly on her fair, delicate neck and her hair was straightened with some falling over her shoulder.

The trio turned their heads and gaped at her while Kiaraa noticing the situation she has just gotten herself into, immediately got her brain working as she fled from the room and shut the door abruptly.

Lili slowly stared back at the camera in front of them, biting her red lips softly and she got a taste of the cherry lip gloss from Crystelle which she had stolen from her sister. She regretted not putting up a sign in front of the music room saying "We're Live" so as to warn anyone who wants to come in.

But now, the deed has already been done, she could only lament inwardly as she stared at the comment section and as expected, the place has exploded.

(OMG... Did anyone see that goddess who just walked in? Please tell me it was just my illusion, I can't believe that someone like that still exists.)

(I saw it too... Damn it!!! I couldn't get a screenshot. Does anyone know who she is, I need to get her number?)

(Is she a new member of Ultraviolet? Why is she with them? I must admit, my eyes were almost blinded by her beauty. Who is she, Lili?)

(If I had her in my house, there will be no need for power supply. She's like the goddess of light.)

The comment section was flooded with similar statements and Lili had to mask her uneasiness with a charming smile.

"That's all for today Rays( Ultraviolet fandom name), thank you for joining us, see you next time Rays... Hugs and Kisses."

And with that, she immediately shut down the live chat and turned toward the girls.

"What are we going to do?" Mia asked knowing how grave the situation was. She knew Kiaraa was running from some people and the moment her face gets into the internet she will be hunted down like some exotic breed.

"It shouldn't be that serious right?" Somi asked and their gaze lingered on in the direction of the door before they all stood up and rushed towards it as if being chased by a wild dog.

They met Kiaraa at the entrance talking on the phone.

"... take care of it, if there is any problem contact me immediately... yes...I'll be there in an hour."

The minute the call ended, she turned towards them and shot them all skin-piercing glares.

"Queen, we're sorry," Arin spoke first and Mia and Somi gaped at her.

Wasn't she the eldest? Was she not supposed to use her sense of seniority to get them out of this mess? Now, what were they seeing? Their so-called leader had cowered down in the presence of her sister.

They sighed gloomily, "We won't do it again Queen." Somi spoke up and Mia nodded.

Kiaraa scoffed, "You won't do it again? Sooner or later we would have loud music blaring from the speakers when you guys are having your dance practice. Sooner or later, someone who goes by the name Lili would mistakenly give away my house address. Sooner or later, we'll have fans and reporters at my doorstep. Sooner or later... "

"Queen, I think there's too many sooner or later in this case don't you think darling," Mia cut her off and stepped forward to touch her hair with an alluring smile reaching up to her olive-green eyes.

The others stared at her with admiration. Oh! the courage of a best friend. She could do things that none of them dared to do.

Kiaraa raised a brow at her, "You think?"

The rest of them nodded and Kiaraa rolled her eyes. "Let's just see how my team will handle it." She replied and walked off.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

"Miss Luo" Kiaraa called out and a girl with a short, white floral gown smiled the minute she entered the empty restaurant. She looked around cautiously before walking towards Kiaraa.

"Miss Lee" She greeted and took a seat in front of Kiaraa. Kiaraa stared at the girl in front of her for a long time. She had black back-length hair with a pair of similar amber eyes but will blue flecks. She looked similar to Kiaraa and this could fool anyone who hasn't had a close look at Kiaraa's face.

"Speak." Kiaraa threw in her authority immediately. Today was Saturday but she still had lots of work to do regarding her company. Working under the shadows was more harder than anyone would expect.

The girl gaped at Kiaraa for some seconds before finally opening her mouth to say something.

"I just wanted to know the reason why you need a lookalike."

Kiaraa looked up at her, "Haven't my subordinates informed you yet?" She asked and the girl nodded.

"They have, but I was just wondering why you didn't get someone to wear a mask of your face instead."

"Oh you could wear a mask of my face," Kiaraa replied, "But mistakes could happen miss Luo." She looked up at the girl and wanted to add something when the bodyguard interrupted her.

"Young miss, here's the report from the financial department. They'll need your signature before they can begin the project." The man said and handed her some files.

Kiaraa looked at the files with an unreadable gaze before she spoke. "I'll have to analyze it first," then she looked up at the girl again, "Continue."

"What if I get attacked?" The girl asked.

"Mistakes like that will only come from your end. As long as you stick to the rules and follow my instructions then I can guarantee you that nothing of that sort will happen. Moreover, during your tour, you won't be staying in a country for more than a week. That way, they won't be able to find you that easily and you'll also have the time to pleasure your eyes."

"What if the people you are running from find out that I'm a lookalike?" The girl asked again.

"That was the major reason why I didn't get someone to wear a mask instead. If by any chance they find out that you're my lookalike then that will be my problem to handle. "

"Will I be running all my life?"

"No" Kiaraa replied immediately, "Using you means luring them out of their traps, and my men are more than capable to handle them once they take the bait, and lastly, they wouldn't believe that I'll show myself around the world when my life is in danger so try and keep your life as low profile as possible. So, what do you think?"

Pretty readers!!! A new cover will be updated later. Thank you all for your recommendations...I love you all
