Alexa couldn’t have eye contact with Eric. She kept staring at the floor while she folded herl-ips ti-ght.
“You know,, I know who you really are” Eric finally spoke
“Huh… Yeah, Flora told me all about it, plea-se… Huh, Can you keep it a secret for now,, plea-se” She pleaded still staring at the floor. She heard a loud sigh and she couldn’t help but sigh too.
“I’m sorry” She whispered
“It’s okay… I’m going to keep it a secret but it’s left for you not to get caught, Still… I’m gonna help you” Eric said. Alexa smiled and finally turned to him.
“Really?” She asked
Eric smiled and nodded.
“Thank you so much! How can i ever repay you”
“Seriously, What are you saying? Repay?–Eric paused and laughed heartily.
You don’t have to do that, Just do a nice job, Okay?” He added.
Alexa smiled and nodded. “Anyways, Thank you for everything and also for saving me then by giving me a name, I knew what to actually say but it took me by shock, Though… You spoke for me and I’m grateful”
“Yeah, It’s alright… If you nee-d any help,, You can talk to me and don’t mind Ethan, He’s quite nice and sweet but I guess he’s just like that to you because he doesn’t actually know you,, Hold on,I just huh… Remembered!”
“Huh? Why? What?”
“You’re Flora friend right? You attended that p@rty last night, huh?” He chuckled. Alexa re-moved her gaze off him filled with utter embarras-sment. She bit herl-ips ha-rd and clenched her fist. Eric smiled and walked close to her. Alexa quic-kly looked at him and she began to move backwards. She felt her heart nearly trying to bur-st from her che-st. Alexa got near a wooden chair and couldn’t move further, she halted and Eric did too. Eric smiled and moved hisl-ips closer to her ear.
“You were the one right?” He whispered as he held his hands onto the wooden chair handle thereby restricting an exit for Alexa.
“What?” Alexa muttered as she now felt uncomfortable.
“You were the girl that hit Ethan right? You stained his white shi-t and even disgraced him causing a scene in the p@rty,, You even caused our Live performance on hold, Huh?” He whispered.
Alexa wi-de-ned her eyes, swallowed ha-rd and quic-kly bowed her head.
“I’m.. I’m.. So… So… Sorry” She stammered
“No, No, It’s okay… I…uh, just wanted to be sure” He smiled now looking at her. Alexa withdrew her bowed head and looked at him.
“Seriously,, You just made me feel weird by saying you were sorry,, Anyways… Were you the one?” He asked scratching his head nervously
Alexa nodded childishly as she made a funny move with her mouth.
“Oh… Wow” He commented as he re-moved his hands from the chair.
“Don’t worry, I’m gonna keep it a secret, Huushh!” He smiled as he placed his f!nger on hisl-ips. Alexa smiled and swiftly bowed her head as a sign of “Thank You!”
Eric nodded and turned to leave. As he began to walk, He halted and turned his eyes to her from behind.
“Oh… Alexa” He called
“Huh?” She whispered staring at him
“Being a girl really fits you–He paused and smiled.
“You looked beautiful at the p@rty” He completed and quic-kly turned back and left Alexa’s sight.
Alexa’s breathed heavily and t©uçhed her che-st.
“Calm down heart!” She whispered as she felt the loud and rushing heartbeat with her palm which la-id on her che-st.

“You guys are done?” Collins smiled. Flora nodded and looked at Lizzy.
“Let’s go” Flora said as she sma-cked her ton-gue against her gums.
“Unnie, Wait!” Alicia yelled
“Why?”Flora asked
“I wasn’t talking to you, I was talking to her” Alicia replied pointing at Lizzy.
“Me?” Lizzy asked confused tou-ching her che-st. Alicia smiled and nodded.
“What’s the matter?” Lizzy asked
“Let’s talk Unnie, Just give me 5 minutes huh?”
“What’s it about?”
“Something important, A few minutes plea-se” Alicia pleaded gr-abbing Lizzy hand as she pu-ll-ed her to the corner.
“It had better be something important” Lizzy warned, She sat down on the vacant seat and Alicia sat close to her.
“Okay… Unnie, I promised you 5 minutes so I shouldn’t talk much, I’m just gonna get straight to the point” Alicia started.
“Yeah, Sure… plea-se Do, I’m getting curious and impatient too” Lizzy retorted dusting the dust off her shi-t.
“Unnie? Do you wanna be in a relationsh!p?”
“What? What do you know about relationsh!ps?”
“A lot” Alicia replied with a laugh
“Answer me, Unnie!” Alicia added
Elizabeth sighed and bit herl-ips ha-rd .
“I don’t really know… But if I start d@t!ng, I might not have enough time for my friends, You know…Flora and Alexa? Now, Alexa has a job, she isn’t gonna have time for us right?,If I start a relationsh!p, What about Flora? Would we have time for her? I just want us to be closer than ever”
Alicia blinked her eyes and nodded.
“You see,, Relationsh!plike that spoils Friendsh!p…. Lets not love till we(Alexa,Flora and Elizabeth) find a man at the same time… Then, I’m sure we wouldn’t be hurt that way,, Anyways… Alexa is crushing on– Lizzy blinked and paused. She turned her gaze to Alicia who stared at her with curiosity written all over her face.
“Continue” Alicia whispered adjusting to Lizzy to hear more.
“Hey, That’s all”
“Huuhmp! Pathetic,, So… Unnie, What if a handsome guy likes you and ask you on a d@tÂŁ, What will be your reply?”
Lizzy looked at her and laughed. “What’s this? I haven’t seen the guy yet, So… I don’t actually know what’s I’m gonna reply and hey! It has been more than 5 minutes now”
“Sorry Unnie, So… What do you want in a man to make you like him?”
“You mean my ideal type?”
“Yea”
“Hmm… Well, He should be handsome, ro-mantic, Uhh…Funny I guess, Smart, An interesting guy not the Boring type… And Oh… He should be a bad boy for me” Lizzy said and win-ked.
“He isn’t a bad guy though… He’s very shy” Alicia said as she heaved a sigh
“What? Who?”
“The guy crushing on you”
“What?You didn’t tell me a guy was crushing on me, Was that why you kept asking me all this questions?”
Alicia nodded.
“I like shy guys though, They are cute” Lizzy smiled.
“So, Who’s the guy… The guy that likes me?” Lizzy added throwing the question.
“First of all, Do you like younger guys?”
“Why do you ask?”
“Hmm, Because the guy that likes you is younger… So, Do you like younger guys?
“What? No!!! Why would I!! Darn!! That would totally spoil everything! You know what, No nee-d to tell me anymore, I’m not curious… Just tell that nigga he had better find a sweet younger girl…So, How old is he by the way?”
“Unnie, How old are you first?”
“I’m 21” Lizzy replied standing up instantly from the chair
“Oh…. You are just older than my “brother” with just two years” Alicia smiled. Lizzy turned her gaze to her quic-kly.
“What? Your What?” Lizzy asked raising her eyebrows as she bent her eye lids
“Yeah… You heard right, Unnie… My Brother, Oppa” Alicia replied with a chuckle. They stared at each other without a word. Lizzy was confused and puzzled, She couldn’t find her voice anymore.
“Hey!” A voice yelled shaking the two speakers. They turned to see Flora standing and keeping her arms akimbo. She was in fury alre-ady. She sighed angrily and walked close to Lizzy who kept staring like a statue.
“Hey! I’ve been waiting for ever! Let’s go!” Flora yelled as she gr@bbÂŁd Lizzy’s arm. She pu-ll-ed her outside as Lizzy kept thinking and looking in space. She turned to stare at Alicia who quic-kly flashed a smile and waved her hand.
Collins c@mÂŁ into sight and hurried to Alicia. “Hey! What did she say?” He asked probably shivering alre-ady. Alicia sighed and moved her eye ba-lls to Collins.
“Oppa.. We still have a long way to go, Flora is annoying! Why did she have to spoil our conversation!” Alicia yelled ma-king a hissing sound.
“Oh Goodness! My heart!! But I nee-d to ask?” Collins asked holding his che-st while looking at her.
“What?” Alicia replied
“I noticed you don’t really like flora… Why?”
“No reason……… Maybe because she’s fat?”
“Hey! You shouldn’t talk like that,It’s rude to talk about people’s b©dy! She use to be very slim before with a good shape,She even used to be a good promising ballerina… Something happened…So, don’t try to be rude to her, Okay?”
“Huh? For Real? Are you Serious???….. Firstly, What happened? I’m curious” Alicia asked placing her palm on her cheek as she acted all sweetly in Collins presÂŁnce.

“Seriously? Just look at you? I’m not gonna tell you…You might know when you get older” Collins said
“What? plea-se, Tell me… You alre-ady made me curious! Is it not for kids?” Alicia questioned exquisitely
“Sshh! You talk to much..I just want you to be friendly with her, Even if she isn’t your type, Okay?”
Alicia squee-zed her face and raised her l!pin a funny Manner, She raised her head up and wi-de-ned her eyes having caught something.
“Dad!!!” She screamed running up to him
“My sweet daughter” Mr Lynn said happily as he hvgged Alicia.
She hvgged him ti-ght, while her father raised her up to his shoulders.
“Dad, I’ve missed you” She said with her childish voice
“Really…. Oh, I miss my sweetheart most, I thought you would miss me more than I did, Goodness! I was wrong” He replied as he micmic Alica’s childish voice. Alicia frowned and closed her eyes. Her father smiled and took his f!ngersto her w@!st and began to tickle her.
“Dad! St©p it… It’s tickles!” She screamed at the same time giggling
“Should I?” Mr Lynn asked
Alicia couldn’t reply. Instead, she was laughing ha-rd due to his excessive tickles. She simply nodded.
“Then, Are you still angry with dad?” He asked
“No.. Why would I be?” She tried muttering admist the laughter. Mr Lynn smiled and slowly brou-ght her down from his shoulder.
“Dad! You must be tired, Let’s rest.. Do you wanna eat something first, Are you hungry?” Alicia asked
“Alright… Let’s eat, Just the both of us!”
“Yessss! Oppa, Did you hear that? I’m going to have a meal with dad, Just the both of us! Let’s go” Alicia smiled holding his hand.
Collins laughed awkwardly and turned to his father. “Dad, Welcome” He said throwing a smile
“Thank you Son….Alexa, Is she home?”
“No… She went to–
“Oh… Don’t worry, I remember… Work right?”
Collins nodded.
*********************
Flora and Lizzy walked together while holding hands. They eventually got to Flora’s place.
“Hey, We are here” Flora told Lizzy who was in de-ep thoughts.
“Hey, What are you thinking about?” Flora asked waving her hand on Lizzy’s face. Lizzy blinked her eyes and g@sped
“Are you okay? I’m home though… See you this evening at Alexas’!” Flora said as she waved. Lizzy just nodded and began to leave.
“What’s wrong with her? She couldn’t even reply me, What’s she thinking about?– Hey! Lizzy, Be careful, Don’t hit your head on the pole!” Flora warned. Lizzy looked on and quic-kly escaped. She turned behind and smiled to Flora.
Flora smiled and nodded as she watched Lizzy who later on waved to her.
Soon, Flora got inside the mansion. “Is my parents home?” Flora asked the house keeper.
“No, Not yet” The house keeper replied and continued with her work. Flora sighed and sat down heavily on the couch. She switched on the TV and began watching.
.
🥀Now, Meet Flora Brown, She is the only daughter of the riche-st Real Estate Owners in Seoul. Despite being Real Estate owners, Her father is a CEO of an insurance company while her Mother owns a Hospital.Flora is fat as you can see,She’s Alexa age mate, 22. But years back, She used to be very slim and pretty. She had a tiny w@!st and flat tummy. All the girls wished to be like her. Like everyone, Flora had a dream then. She wanted to be a successful and famous ballerina. Damn! She was so good at it that she won lots of golden and t©p awards though many were jealous of.
her.
Being a ballerina made her not do anything she de-sired nor crave the food she wanted. She ate light carbonhydrates only and fruits which were ¢v-m¢v-mber of the sort. She avoided most food to avoid adding weight.
One day, Flora noticed she had put in a weight of just 2kg, She was shocked. She suddenly began to avoid all foods and any time she was f0rç£d, She would excuse herself to the toilet and cause herself to vomit thereby throwing up all she ate for that day.
Unfortunately, Flora bec@mÂŁ very sick. She was even at the point of death and her family couldn’t watch their only child leave.
They gave her drips, drugs,injections,all sort of prescriped medications and even blood transfusion. She was weak and could ha-rd ly walk,t©uçh or even raise her eye lids talk less of raising her f!ngers.
The only word Flora’s parents would say then was; “Flora, Eat….plea-se”
She ignored and stood for what she wanted, Her dream. Being a ballerina!.
Finally, She was injected with a substance that made her extra hungry. Her stomach would roar and grumble and she would feel dizzy. She thought drinking just water would solve it, No….Yet, It got worse ma-king her feel bad pain in her stomach.
For the first time that day, Flora ate! The hospital shaked that day, The whole staff there couldn’t hold their joy. As well as Mr and Mrs Brown( Flora’s parents). Infact, They cried. If care wasn’t taken on that day, They would have thrown a p@rty.
Since when, Flora tasted food then. She never left food. She ate and ate which made her parents happy. But a couple of months, Flora was now adding weight ma-king her chubby and fat destroying her ha-rd earned dream. She cried a lot like never before though, she got fully healed. Her parents tried talking to her to find another dream but Flora simply replied :
;“Mum….Dad, If it isn’t being a Ballerina, Forget it, plea-se”.
.
🥀Flora’s eyes began to shed waterfall tears now she remembered everything, Her pain was unbearable.

“Softball, Are you done?” Ken asked as he c@mÂŁ in. He looked around and smiled. Alexa chuckled hearing the nickname from Ken.
“Its looks good… It even seems like this is a new ap@rtment, Huh?” Ken asked Ethan who just walked to the couch without saying anything.
“Rude jÂŁrk!” Ken murmured in mockery.
“I heard that” Ethan said as he looked at him. Ken wi-de-ned his eyes and opened his mouth wi-de.
“You did well, Alex” Eric smiled as he looked around.
“As if? I would have done better” Ethan sm-irked
“Is anything wrong with what I cleaned?” Alexa quic-kly asked concerned as she looked around
“No worries, You did good… He’s just trying to make jest of you” Ken retorted
“Alex… You’ve done a lot…Aren’t you tired?” Eric asked. Alexa smiled, nodded her head and slowly faced the floor.
“Then, Rest a bit… Till the food is re-ady” Eric smiled
“Food?” Alexa asked wi-dening her eyes.
“Yeah… Have lunch with us, huh?” Eric asked
Ken quic-kly ran to Alexa and gr@bbÂŁd her both hands. “Soft ball, plea-se… Eat with us, Pretty plea-se” Ken pleaded as he shaked her hands V¡rgously while he showed her his cute puppy eyes.
“What’s this? Don’t try acting cute… Anyways,, Eric re-ad my mind–
“Woo-hoo! Really?” Ken smiled interrupting her
“Yeah… I was actually tired and very hungry” Alexa added
“Eric–Ethan laughed as he turned his gaze to Eric who watched
“What?” Eric replied
“Seems you have good telepathy with our housekeeper–
“Housekeeper? You’ve got to be kidding me, He has a name “Alex”…Get that?” Eric scoffed
“I don’t care, He’s still gonna reply with whatever I call him. By the way,, Why do you keep protecting him? Is he your family?…No?,, Or Is he your good friend?…. Or Maybe, He’s your lover–
“What?” Eric asked almost yelling. He was alre-ady angry and felt like punching Ethan badly.
“You know what I mean,…… Are you guys g@y?” Ethan asked, His voice seemed jÂŁrkily.
“Hey! You had better shut up your cra-p! Don’t let me get upset!” Eric warned. Ethan sm-irked and looked at Alexa who seemed down alre-ady.
“Why are you guys being serious huh? It’s just a joke… Huh?? Don’t tell me you took it seriously?” Ethan laughed breaking the ice.
“What? Joke? Does everything seem like a joke to you, Hey… Mind the way you joke, cause if you joke without thinking twice–You’ve got to blame yourself on what might happen” Eric yelled
“Hey! Take it easy, He said he was just joking… Hey, Ethan… You should apologize to Eric, and Alex too… He is alre-ady feeling bad” Ken sighed as he held onto Alexa’s hand ti-ghtly pushing his hand into her sweaty soft palms.
“Why would I? I never said anything wrong in the first place! Hey!! Eric, Why are you taking it on me, I’ve been joking with you ever since we met, So… What’s going on with you just because of this slight joke!” Ethan yelled back.
“Slight joke?!– Eric scoffed and shifted his angry gaze to Ethan. I’m just warning you, You will have yourself to blame later!”
“How?… Explain!” Ethan yelled walking close to Eric.
“I’m gonna have to joke about “your parents”, Since you joke about everything, Or am I wrong?”
“Hey, Dude… That was rude” Ken commented staring at Eric
“My what? Did you just say my parents? Take your words back!” Ethan yelled as he gr@bbÂŁd onto Eric’s collar.
“No, I don’t want to take my words back…. You can never f0rç£ me!” Eric yelled. Ethan squee-zed his collar of his shi-t more and more causing him not to breathe properly, His n£¢k and face bec@mÂŁ red.
Alexa looked at them and ran towards them. “St©p it, plea-se! You are causing him pain!” Alexa screamed trying to re-move Ethan’s hand which wouldn’t even bulge.
“Stay away from me! Don’t t©uçh me, You’ve got 8 points now… Rule Number Five, Don’t ever t©uçh me…t©uçh me, and you lose all your points!” Ethan yelled.
“t©uçh him! You are going nowhere!” Eric yelled
“Guys,, plea-se… St©p this” Ken begged as he walked closer to them.
“Come here and you are dead” Ethan warned. Ken shivered and moved backwards. He took his phone to call their manager.
“Call him and you are so dead!” Eric warned.
“plea-se….Let him go! I’m not going to t©uçh you so plea-se Let’s him go… Huh? plea-se!” Alexa shouted as she stomped her feet.
“Take… Your…fu-cking words back first” Ethan warned
“I won’t, Forget about it, Let’s just stay like this, huh? Maybe, When I die… You will realize everything” Eric smiled.
Suddenly, Alexa began to cry. She cried so loud it t©uçhed Eric. Her eyes were red.
“St©p it, Don’t cry” Eric said, His rage was now at cli-max, He could kill anyone now. His eyes bec@mÂŁ red and his muscles had jumped out.
Alexa ignored but cried the more, She couldn’t bear to see Eric getting hurt because of her. She closed her eyes as the tears flowed freely. She wailed emotionally.
“Hey!! He’s crying because of you!!” Eric shouted and pushed Ethan with all the strength he gathered.
Ethan fell, but stood up quic-kly. They both charged themselves trying to fight when Alexa suddenly c@mÂŁ into their middle.
“St©p IT ALre-adY!” She yelled while the tears continued flowing
“Ken… Answer me quic-k! I wanna know why Eric seems obsessed with this guy that cries like a girl?” Ethan said still charged
“What’s the question?” Ken asked from behind
“Who’s Alex to you?” Ethan asked swiftly
“Wh–What?” Ken stammered
“There’s no time… Alex is nothing but a house keeper to me, So… Who’s Alex to you?” Ethan asked again.
“Huh? He’s… Huh, Softball? I guess… He’s still new to me so–
“It’s fine… So, Eric, Answer…. Who’s Alex to you?”
“What? You expect me to answer that?”
“Everyone is watching? We are curious as well! I’m quite surprised why you behave this way because of Alex, So.. Who’s he to you?”
Eric’s b©dy bec@mÂŁ numb and he kept still and silent. He blinked his eyes and swallowed ha-rd .
“I don’t really why I’m being this way” Eric finally whispered.
“You are going to figure out soon if you know who he really is to you– Ethan smiled and looked at Alexa who looking motionless where she stood inbetween.
“See, I’m sure Alex is curious too,Now answer me” He added looking back at Eric sharply who returned the gaze. Ethan looked on with a smart smile and finally asked;
“Who’s Alex to You?”
