My face scrunches up. “So basically cold medicine is her liquid courage?”
He shudders. “It was bubblegum flavor.”
“So just imagine you shared gum.”
“We!” all three guys say in unison.
“Ew!” Kai interjects.
Lucas shakes his head. “Gum catches food and mouths are disgusting.” Grace elbows him in the ribs. “All mouths but yours!”
“Better.” She leans in for a kiss.
I’ll never get over how happy Lucas is now that he has Grace, it’s like he’s lost every care he ever had in the world, she makes him more creative, in general she just makes him a better person.
“What about you?” Lucas opens another bottle of Soju. “How was your date?”
“Oh you mean going down memory lane? Or her outing me during filming that I took her virginity?”
Lucas spits out his drink and starts coughing while Grace jumps into the air and shouts. “I KNEW IT!”
I frown. “You knew my ex would be filming?”
I talk in part English part Korean for her sake.
“No! I knew you had a past like that, and you just kept it hidden, I called it when we became friends and I was right.” She looks around to everyone this time speaking in broken Korean. “Right. I was right.”
Rae hasn’t said anything he just stares at me in shock. “What the hell man? It’s true? You took her virginity? When?”
Lucas takes another sip while I answer. “I think I was fifteen.”
Lucas spits out more Soju this time hitting Kai in the face, he seems to be too stunned to speak.
Lucas wipes his mouth with the back of his hand. “Anything else we should know before I take another sip and waste the Soju?”
“There’s more, but she didn’t out me and it’s not something I’m wanting to talk about, oh and she wore the dress from our very first date as if to recreate it, not creepy at all, she also then changed into spandex and a very tiny shirt and tried to maul me. I fell off the couch.”
“I mean,” Rae frowns. “She is pretty.”
“On the outside.” I shudder. “The inside is a completely different scenario.”
Rae’s expression changes to perplexed. “So are they going to cut it out of the episode?”
I shrug. “Legally, I think they can do whatever they want, but I’ll talk to Ari.”
It’s Kai’s turn to cough and hit his chest. “Yeah I bet she’d have a lot to say, might keep you in a meeting for hours over that one.”
“Lots of yelling.” Lucas adds in. “Maybe some moaning—that is after you get punched in the dick.”
Rae’s laughter fills the air .”She wouldn’t go near his dick.”
Lucas’s eyes water as he swallows his sip and then burps. I know he was ready to start choking any minute.
“I mean now that she knows how big it is…” Kai teases. “Bro those shorts hid nothing.”
“Definitely going to turn into a meme and peoples favorite edit on Tik-Tok.” Grace agrees.
I groan and pinch my nose, leaning back to look up at the stars. “I haven’t had very many good moments on camera.”
“Depends on how you look at it.” Rae shrugs. “Some might say they’re your best moments, there’s a reason the show’s trending.”
Kai starts cackling then falls out of his chair. “Sorry already drunk, but imagine the hashtags, little Maknae, huge dick.”
Lucas joins in. “Bias wrecker indeed!”
They keep going on and on until Rae leans in close to me. “We really need to get a handle on what happened during your date though, we can’t have that getting out, it will completely ruin the image the company has for you, especially for this comeback, do you even know how much white they have you wearing from wardrobe? To represent your pure talent and pure soul?”
Pressure hits me square in the chest, I almost feel like I can’t breathe. “Yeah, I know, I’ll talk to her.”
I grab my phone and shoot her a quick text while Rae turns around.
Me
Hey something happened during filming and she outed the part that I took her virginity, any way we can get legal aka you on it to see if they can edit it out?
Ari
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?
Me
Or not?
Ari
That whore!
I laugh at my phone screen briefly forgetting that Rae’s next to me and I have flirty texts with his sister in that same chat.
Rae glances over. “Who you texting?”
My shrug tells him it’s not a big deal but, really I’m petrified he’s going to grab my phone out of my hands. “Ari, she called Iseul, a whore, and I asked her to see what she could do.”
“Strong response.” He doesn’t laugh though, instead he nods seriously. “If anyone can take care of you, it’s Ari.”
“I know.” I respond in earnest, because it’s true. She takes care of me and she always will he just doesn’t know how much.
Chapter Twenty-Four
Sookie
I don’t stay up late and I know I’m already playing with fire, so I get ready for bed then text Ari again.
