Seducing The Ice Queen - Chapter 168
Ye Heng woke up feeling as if she had been charged overnight. Even as she looked around the luxurious surroundings in which she had slept, she had trouble believing that she had actually agreed to all that.
She wondered if they would still agree to have her in the pilot program once they saw her in the morning. Mostly they would change their minds or even the other members of SKY might refuse to use her.
As she looked at her phone, her eyes widened at the number of we chat messages on her ohone. There were more than thousand messages! Opening it, she saw that it was in her University group. Wondering if they were still bashing her for yesterday, she carefully opened the chat and read through. Slowly her eyes were wide as saucers.. What had exactly happened that suddenly everyone claimed that she was the luckiest girl? Weren’t these people saying just yesterday that she was the bearer of bad luck..
Well there was only one way to find out..
Opening the search engine, she carefully typed the name Yu Gyeom. and read through the latest headlines..
“Yu Gyeom of SKY comes to the rescue of a fan.”
“BP Entertainment takes strict action against those who malign others in the name of their idols.”
“A Diary Interview with Yu Gyeom.”
Ye Heng widened her eyes as she noticed the photograph on the cover of the third headline.. That diary belonged to her!
Clicking on the article, she waited for it to upload..
“In an interesting twist this morning after his agency scolded the people for harassing a student yesterday, people’s favorite Yu Gyeom came online for a heart to heart with the fans. In the early hours of the morning the man looked as if he had just finished a healthy work out and in no was seemed injured as the video doing rounds since yesterday stated.
You can watch the entire broadcast here.. He also read the student’s diary and explained how the girl had been nervous for questioning him and hence taken a fall. Lauging off the matter as something that reminded him of his younger self, Yu Gyeom then went onto the answer the questions that the student had written down before the accident happened while reminding his fans to be more loving towards everyone.”
Ignoring the rest of the article, Ye Heng clicked on the link for the broadcast and watched him speak,” hello everyone.. I heard that I was very severely injured yesterday so thought that I should see what that was about. First of all thank you for all your well wishes.and sending all those flowers to BP Entertainment’s office. Thanks to that my studio is now fragrant like a garden. You have all been worried about me but let me assure you I have a thick head and am perfectly fine. You might think that I must regret yesterday.. Which side of the bed did I get up on that I was admitted to the hospital but let me tell you a secret.. Yesterday’s incident made me very happy. The only thing I would regret is the trouble Miss Ye had to go through because of me. I sincerely apologize to Miss Ye for this and request those who accused Miss Ye to do the same.
Anyway, as I said, I am very happy today..most of you know that I came from a small town to look for work before finally being signed on by the agency.
But none of you know that how I reached the agency. The episode yesterday reminded me of that. But before I tell you that, I have something with me.. he then showed the diary where she had scribbled the questions..making her eyes widen as he continued,”Miss Ye has beautiful but messy handwriting. Anyway so I am going to answer Miss Ye’s questions because it is important for her thesis and I hope this will help..” And for the next ten minutes Gyeom answered all the questions scribbled on the first page of the diary. After this he told everyone the story of getting lost in the city..
Ye Heng blinked and saved the interview’s link before looking at the closed door, her eyes wet with tears. All her classmates were right. She really was lucky to have let such a great man. He had not just cleared her name but also given her a special place among the fans.
Already she could see the number of people who had come forward to support her had exceeded the number of people who were bashing her yesterday. Thousand of strangers had left encouraging messages for her and even wished her luck on the thesis.
She had no idea how she would be able to thank him. Just then she looked at the time on her phone and her eyes widened. It was nearing afternoon. She had slept in so late as if this was her own house!
Last night, Alice and Adam had brought two sets of clothes for her. One for the night and one for morning. After thankign them profusely, she had promised that she would get out of his hair early in the morning and yet here she was!
Hurrying up, she rushed into the bathroom, ready to escape. She pushed the clothes into the small bag intending to have them dry cleaned and returned even if it took all her allowance away! Hurrying out of the door, however, she almost crashed into Gyeom who was about to knock. Luckily, he was more prepared this time and simply caught her by the shoulders before she lost her balance. Giving her a smile, he said,”I was about to see if you were up yet. Come on, I warmed up some of the congee and dumplings that K brought last night.”
Forgetting her initial plan to make a run, Ye Heng followed Gyeom towards the kitchen.
“We can have those and some eggs if you know how to fry them. Also, I have a confession to make.”
After dropping this bomb, Gyeom did not notice that Ye Heng had stopped mid way.
Her over active imagination made her winder what kind of a confession he would want to make. Did he fall in love with her at first sight.. No no. That was next to impossible. Did he regret last night…
Finally noticing that the girl was not following him, Gyeom called out,”Ye Heng? Are you not coming?”
Nodding, she followed him to the kitchen shelf where he took the bowls out and pointed for her to sit. Taking the bowls obediently she sat and waited for the confession.
As he pulled out the congee from he microwave, he said,”I know that I should not have done this, but please know that it was not done intentionally. Your diary slipped out of the bag and by chance I read the questions that you had prepared for me. I swear I did not read anything else. Specially not where you have waxed lyrical about Felix and certainly not what you have written about my dimples or K’s voice melting away a few… Umm undergarments…”
Ye Heng’s eyes widened as she finally remembered what was niggling at her when she had sent e broadcast. That was her personal diary and she had at times written all sorts of nonsensical things in it.. She needed the ground to open up now.. Oh no…
What had she written? As she thought about this… No no.. Let the ground not open up.. An earthquake should be fine..or maybe she could use a pan and hit him on the head and cause amnesia.
Clicking his fingers in front of her face, Gyeom remarked,”You look really pi**ed off. Can I please ask that you forgive me for my sin?”
Blushing furiously, Ye Heng looked away,”I am just embarrassed by all this. I wrote all that nonsense when I was bored. I did not expect you would read it…”
Extending his hand he held hers and smiled brightly as he said,”Does that mean that my dimples are really not worth a million dollars. And here I thought I could use them to earn some money..”
Giggling at his sense of humour, Ye Heng let go of her embarrassment and looked down with a smile. Her eyes stole glance at where his hand was on hers and she felt a pang of regret when he took back his hand and pointed at the food, “Start eating now.”
As the two people started to eat, Ye Heng finally gathered the courage to ask the questions that he had not answered in the diary. Clearing her throat, she asked,”You did not answer all the questions in the diary.. If you don’t mind, can you answer them now.”
“Sure, I just answered randomly. What do you want to know?”
“Do you have a girlfriend now or any ex girlfriend or anyone you like?”
