***Jin's POV***
I am currently planning on how to proposed romantically to Cheena when suddenly Joyorabigail bursted out that she will stay in their country for good.. like what the heck!
we are all quiet... I can sense that my brothers are all sad right now..
"she's joking right??" I commented, they all looked at me with smile on their faces
"yeah maybe she is just joking" RM agreed
"yes, noona has a lot of humour, I know that" Jimin
"right right" Jhope
"true" JK
we are all having a positive vibes when Joy suddenly shouted
"STOP IT GUYS! ATE IS NOT JOKING! SHE WILL NEVER RETURN!" she suddenly went to their door and lock herself inside without looking at us
"Joyjoy!" "abiabi" "Joyorabigail!" we all tried to talked to her but she never opened her door...
did Cheena really left me hanging??
******
Joy didn't talked to any of us.. I can't sleep thinking that Cheena will no longer go back to Korea,
can she eat properly in their home?
is she going to work hard again?
does she loved me the way I do???
i wanted to asks her so many questions... but how????
***Eunwoo's POV***
when I woke up the next day.. I immediately rushed downstairs only to find my Noona eating her breakfast at our dining area...the reason why Cheena was a suspect on that concept.
***Flashback***
I am currently practicing my tagalog special number when suddenly my uncle request a call
"yeoboseyo samchon?"
"Eunwoo shi.. isn't it... you're the one who gave me the concept edited by Ms. Cheena G???" he asked
"de.. what about it?"
"the concept was seen at the bighit building yesterday and Mr. Bang gave me a call regarding this!"
"why would it be there?"
"it has a letter in front stating it is a gift to a person named Kim Seok Jin"
"Kim Seok Jin??? but hyung is here for 2 days already"
"de.. Mr. Bang gave me that information"
"so.. what are you planning to do now?"
"I am planning to investigate every employee on our company.. but as far as I remember I asked Athaliah to review it and when I asked her she said employees can reproduce it.. and she is really suspecting Cheena, can Ms. Cheena produce 2 copies?"
"she cannot because Athaliah Noona is the one in-charge of the production, the editors are just editing the soft copies, as far as I know but you should really make an investigation regarding this"
"OK I will take your suggestion, but please keep it a secret as you know.. I only told you and Athaliah about this matter"
"de..." I then ended up our call
why on earth would Athaliah tell samchon that Cheena can reproduced our product when she knew that she is the only authorized person???
***End of Flashback***
now I understand... she wants Cheena out of the company but why??
"Eunwoo shi" she called me when she finally notice me at the door
"are you happy now?" I sarcastically asked my cousin
"I'm not" she answered me back, smiling wickedly
"come on Athaliah, don't be too obvious"
"why? do I look happy?"
"yes" I honestly answered her...
"may I asks you? what did Cheena do to you to make you so mad at her?"
"I really want to answer your sweet question my dear cousin but I am running out of time so... see yah" she said standing up and leaving me behind
I want to find out what is her problem with Cheena
***Athaliah's POV***
Eunwoo seems to be very burdened because of Cheena..well.. I should not be wondering anymore because she made him to passed the audition where I planned not to... just by merely supporting him backstage..
and from that day on.. he became very closed to her that Eunwoo forgots that I am his real Noona, I became jealous because of that, he spends more time with her and always compliments her when he used to do that with me..
It's OK... I know I'm still OK with because every young people should have someone to lean on until that day came..
***Flashback***
we are currently planning about the ASTRO boys first mini album concept when suddenly samchon put a paper on his desk.
"Athaliah? who's work is this?" my uncle asked me while looking at me and holding the paper...
"where did you get that?" I asked in amazement
"Eunwoo gave this to me yesterday and asks me to read it, so who made this?" he asked again
"that? it's Cheena G's work samchon, wehyo?"
"it's good,.. I like it"
"Jjinja, it's so unusual for me, so unrealistic that's why I never recommended that"
"this kind of work is recognizable... this is what I am looking for!" he exclaimed
"what? it's just a child imagination!"
"exactly the point, the imagination goes well, stability and creativity wise is OK"
"but samchon.. its way to far from the other entertainment company!" he raise his eyebrows to me seems like he wasn't happy of what he heard... I moved backwards
"nah!!! I don't want to argue with you Athaliah.. Call this Cheena immediately and bring her to me"
"wehyo?" I asked feeling a little worried...
"I will talk to her how did she came up with this kind of concept"
"samchon you are just wasting your time!"
"really now?? you think you are way better than me??"
"anniyo, its just that~"
"with this kind of conceptualization and imagination, I can clearly see that she can even replace you in your position now!" he slammed the papers at the table looking furious at me
"re...re.. replace me? You can't do that!"
"I can!try me Athaliah... Try me" he said then turns his back on me.. I wanted to shout at him but I hold back anger...
you will see samchon, you will regret that you said those words to me... I will find a way to destroy Cheena to Eunwoo and you! I will be very happy to see your upset faces when that day come!
******
and this day come... can believe they all fall for it.. all except for Eunwoo of course..
my phone suddenly rang
"yeoboseyo?"
"Athaliah.. its me Gary.. where are you?"
"I'm on my way to the office now, why??"
"I'm on my way there too... you're uncle asks for my presence, he said he wants to thank me for disclosing Cheena but I feel something is not right"
"wehyo?"
"why would he talked to me without you?"
"maybe because he will reward you secretly"
"you think so?"
"of course.. but don't worry.. I will be there also in just a minute"
"OK.. see you..take care"
"I will... see you there!" I hanged up
hmm my uncle really fell into my trap.. now i have his full trust.. next target.. will be KIM SEOK JIN... I need him to believe me... I will do everything for him to believe me...
***Cheena's POV***
mabagal ang oras dito sa bahay namin,..

"I'm fine, when are you planning to apply?"
"well, maybe tomorrow? why?"
"nothing I just asked, you know what... since you go back there in the Philippines... I'm the one always cooking for the boys and I make sure they always eat on time"
"wow! that's nice at least you are learning how to cook"
"yeah.. trying hard you know..."
"how are the boys?"
"the boys are good, they are obliged to clean now, and they are helping each other.. so when are you going back here in Korea?"
"you know that I am never going back there"
"don't you miss us?"
"I miss you so much, but you will be here in 3 months right?"
"yes.. I will have a vacation there, how about the boys do you miss them too?"
"of course! tell them I miss them"
"OK.. including kuya Jin???"

"ate?" "ate?" "ate?" "ate?" sunod sunod na chat niya
"yes.."
"do you miss kuya Jin?" tanong niya ulit... mapilit din tong babaeng to eh! hahaha
huminga ako ng malalim,
"yes.. I miss him, but don't tell him OK???" sagot ko... oo.. totoo.. sobrang miss ko na kaya yung kamoteng yun..
"It's our deepest secret! loko! papatayin kita kapag sinabi mo!" banta ko pero hindi na siya nagreply...

"hey Joyorabigail! PDnim is calling you" sigaw ni Jin sa background nanigas kamay ko tapos bigla nalang nanlamig,... kinakabahan ako.. goodness boses palang nya yan.. wala pa ang itsura niya
"yes.. I'm coming!" sagot ni Joy sabay tayo
"sinu yun?" curious na tanong ni Jana
"e... e..ewan ko.." pagsisinungaling ko...
