The Curse

Its a bit short... I'll just make it up to you on Chapter 6 ( crossing fingers)

Chapter 5


Hyunjoong was so surprised when Hwangbo pulled and kissed him in front of the reporters so he wasn’t able to react quickly. But when he felt her hands on his waist, it’s like a splash of water on his sleeping senses. He lifted his right hand and placed it on Hye Jung’s nape so he can pull her towards him and deepen the kiss. Hyunjoong smiled and open his eyes so he can look at Hyejung’s reaction. He was surprised when his eyes met hers. She automatically looked down and pulls away from the kiss but Hyunjoong snaked his arm on her waist so they were standing hips to hips. Reporters were on a field day, nonstop clicking of the camera can be heard while Hyunjoong’s fans were just too shocked to react.


“It’s time to leave, Buin. “ Hyunjoong whispered and they both bowed and were ushered towards the waiting room.


Hyejung slumped down on the sofa as soon as they reached the waiting room. Her phone was ringing but when she saw that it’s from her manager she tossed it back on her bag.


“Who was that and why didn’t you answer the phone, Buin?” Hyunjoong asked as he hand her a bottle of water.


“It’s my manager. How can I answer him when I still don’t know why I did, what I did earlier. “She answered with a sigh.


“I thought you had a plan. “He asked her again.


“It was like a spur of the moment thing. I wasn’t thinking clearly.” Hyejung admitted.


“You said it’s going to benefit us both. Care to share your “plans”, Buin?” Hyunjoong prodded. He’s really having a good time watching Hwangbo so flustered.


“Stop it Hyunjoong. You’re not helping in anyway. Remember that you’re career is also at stake here.” She snarled at him.


Hyunjoong moved his chair beside her. He took her hands and held it tightly.


“We’re in this together now. Just let me know what I have to do.” He told her.


“Are you sure about this Hyunjoong? It’s not too late to back out. Just tell them I’m just a crazy delusional noona. “Hyejung tried to pull out her hands but he is holding on too tight.


“Just like you said, my career is also dependent on our next move. But retracting what you said earlier is not an option. I’m willing to be a part of your plan.” He replied.


“Can we just talk about this somewhere? I’m really not comfortable discussing it with you here. “She asked.


“I’ll call my manager so we can escape the reporters. “ He squeezed her hands and stood up to call his manager. He left the waiting room and after about 5 minutes came back with a paper bag in hand.


“My manager is waiting in the parking lot. We need to use the back exit but change into these first. Reporters are still all around.” He instructed.


Hwangbo took the bag and head on to the restroom to change. After about five minutes a scowling Hwangbo came out.


“Tell me why I have to dress up like this?” she asked Hyunjoong.


“What’s wrong with that? You look ok.” Hyunjoong replied while trying hard not to laugh.


“This is a maternity dress. And just in case you didn’t know Hyunjoong this is just for pregnant woman.” She answered with frustration.


“Exactly Buin. This is a good disguise. Now put this pillow in your tummy so we can leave.” He just shrugged and tossed the pillow towards her. Then he put on a fake mustache and eyeglasses. He already changed his clothes when Hyejung was in the restroom. Hyejung fixed her clothes and hide the pillow. She ensured that it won’t fall off as they go out. She also let her hair down and put on her eyeglasses.


Hyunjoong went out first, checking if there were reporters nearby. When he saw that the hallway was deserted, he opened the door and let Hyejung out. They walked towards the back of the hotel. Hyunjoong is holding Hyejung’s arms, assisting her just like a husband.


“This is freaking weird, Hyunjoong. I’m afraid that the pillow will drop as I walk.” Hyejung whispered to him.


“Were almost there. Be patient.” He replied.


They can now see the door towards the parking lot. They were heading straight to it when they noticed that reporters were all over the parking lot. Hyejung became so tense and she grabbed on to Hyunjoong’s arms. They turn back a bit and hid behind a big hallway pillar.


“What are we going to do? They will recognize us if we use your car.” She asked.


“It’s ok. See that gray car beside my car. We will be using that. Let’s just wait here a bit. My manager will drive my car so reporters will follow him out. Then we can leave.” He replied.


Just as soon as Hyunjoong finished explaining to Hwangbo, they saw a commotion in the parking lot. Mr Jeong is now walking towards Hyunjoong’s car while trying to just ignore the reporters. He immediately gets in and drives out of the parking lot with reporters trailing after him.


Hyunjoong then grabbed Hyejung’s arms and they walk towards the gray car. Hyunjoong opened the door of the passenger seat so she can get in easily. Then he climbed in and started the car.


“Your place or mine?” he asked.


“My place. “ She simply replied. Hyunjoong just smiled at her and speed up the car.
