Prologue:



"Daddy! Where’s daddy?" Little Charleen's voice trembled and tears repeatedly ran down here cheeks. "I miss daddy, I haven't seen him for 2 days now!"

"Honey, daddy is just taking a rest" her mother's shaky voice replied. Charleen glared at her mother and knew that wasn't the truth.

"I want dady!" Charleen instantly forced herself out of her mother's grasp and ran out of the house.

"Charleen!" her mother gasped and before she could catch her, Charleen was already out of her sight. "He's never waking up again.....he's never waking up again...." she sobbed and kneeled on the ground.

Charleen made herself to the park a few blocks away. "Daddy, daddy! Where are you," she trailed off. Soon after she sat down by the swings next to a little boy.

"Why are you crying?" The boy asked as he arched his eyebrows.

"My dady, he went away. He didn't take me with him...." *sniff* *sniff*

The little boy's face frowned and he stared away not knowing what to say next.

"Do you want my daddy? I can go get him?" The boy asked.

"No! I want my dady not yours...*sniff *..dummy." She cried even harder this time.

The little boy's eyes grew wide. He absolutely didn't know why he made her cry even harder. What was he suppose to do? He doesn't want to make anyone cry harder now. What to do, what to do. Yes! "You know, my mom always told me that white tulips would make her happy."

Charleen looked up and went silent. *sniff sniff* "What? no, that will never make me happy," she replied, wiping away her tears.

"I will be right back." The boy got straight out of his swings and off he went.

"Wait! where are you going?" Charleen shouted.

"I'll be back!"

A moment past by and soon after, the boy did come back. He came back with a whole bunch of white tulips that he picked in his hands.

"Here, take it. This will make you feel better. Mommy said the color white is always to make people happy." The boy handed Charleen the flowers.

"EwWww!! it's gota worm on it!" she threw the tulips away and fell off the swing. "OUCH!!" She cried. Right on her butt she fell.

"Huh? a worm?" The boy picked up the squiggling worm. "Tsk-tsk, you're afraid of a worm?" He held it even closer into Charleen's face.

"Ahh!! stop it!" She screamed and covered her eyes.

"Sorry, sorry...," He picked up the tulips and brushed it off with his hands. "Here, no more worms see." The boy gave it to her again.

This time Charleen looked up and accepted it. *sniff* sniff*

"Ethon! honey, where in the world did you go! I've been looking all over for you!" A tall beautiful lady came running and grabbed the boy into her arms. Charleen looked up as the boy was being drawn away from her. "Bye bye...," he waved back at her.

"How could you just go off like that. You left me worried sick. Now, lets get you cleaned up. We can't miss our flight back to Korea." The boy's mother brushed off the dirt that was still left on his face and clothes.

Charleen watched as the two figures disappeared out of her sight. She looked down at the flowers she had in front of her and gave in a smile.


Chapter 1

10 years later


It was a cloudy, gloomy day because it just got done raining. The sun was barely peeking it's self out from the dark gray clouds but not enough to keep Charleen from the goose bumps she was getting.

"BrRrrRRrr...come on sun, com out. Today's a bit too cold for you to be hiding there." Charleen shivers beneath her breath.

"Charleen wait up!!." A familiar voice called out from behind.

"Huh? Who's that?" She quickly turned around and she saw her best friend running and running. A slight smile appeared across her face and she waved back. "Shine! Hurry!" She shouted towards that direction.

"I thought you left early today already? I waited for you but you didn't come out so that's why I left. Sorry girl."

Shine grinned at Charleen and let out a little giggle looking away.

"What?..." Clueless..

"You wouldn't believe it!" Shine stated in excitement. "I just met this new guy after school today, and oh my gosh, he was such a hottie!!."

"Oh..tee-hee..yea and?" Charleen added enjoying the same excitement.

"Well, I tripped on someone's back-pack and almost fell over and he caught me! Boy! it was so embarrassing but good thing was, we both introduced ourselves and he asked me to go out on a date with him! Can you believe it!"

"So when's the date? Tonight? Tomorrow? A week from now?" Charleen asked giving her full attention.

"Tonight, oh man! what to wear, what to LOOK like? " Shine replied as she placed her index finger on her lips and looked up into the gray clouds.

Charleen faced up to the gray clouds also when she noticed the silence between them.

"So??. Any idea?" Shine finally asked.

Charleen shrugged. "Yano, I really don't know...wear a dress?...wear heels..um LOTS of make-up."

"HahHha..GREAT! well, of course that's what we girls always have to wear right?"

Charleen nodded in agreement."Yup, sorry I can't give you much ideas because I've actually never gone on a date before." She never had time to date. Too busy with school and other things in her life. Boys never really excited her.

Suddenly Shine slapped Charleen on the back. "You silly girl, don't say that. Maybe the right one just hasn't come yet. Let fate find you your destiny lovah!!"

Charleen coughed playfully and giggled. "Yeah yeah."

"Any ways, wish me luck on my date tonight! I'll tell you all about it tomorrow alright."

"Okidoki, Have fun then."

The girls finally approached the corner to where they were to separate. Before Shine turned around she asked Charleen. "Hey, you need to me to walk home with you? Will you be alright?" Shine asked as she rested her hands on Charleen's shoulders.

"Yeah, don't worry. I'm going to pay a visit to my father. Then I'll go home after." She smiled.

"You need me to come along, I mean, it's practically a CEMETARY!!!"

Charleen laughed out loud. "You're so funny, I'll be fine. It's not that dark out. I should be fine, you go on home."

"Alrighty. Call me if any thing alright. If that bastard step father of yours even touches you I swear I'm going to call the cops. Watch over your mom too." Shine stated her last words before turning her way home and Charleen turned her way to the flower shop.

Charleen had a step father that her mother had recently married who was a major alcoholic. He would abuse his mother carelessly and every night there would always be arguments and cries. As each week ended Charleen tried visiting her father's grave before heading home. She knew if she was to go home first and if her step father was home, she was forbidden to go anywhere. Therefore, right after school was the best time.

Every time when Charleen pays a visit to her father, which is almost once a week, she would stop by the flower shop which was right around the corner. She wasn't very rich to buy a whole bouquet of flowers every time, but she'll at least buy one type of flower before she leaves.

*RING RING* (the door bell)

"Oh hello Charleen, how nice to see you again this week. I was wondering when you were coming by again." A pleasant voice waved for Charleen's attention.

Charleen faced her attention to the far end of the shop and proceeded towards that direction. "Mrs. Szuki how are you? Well, I'm here today." She beamed warmly as she made herself through the flower aisle.

After the quick greet, Charleen glanced over to the young man that was checking out at the register beside her. He also stared her way and managed to smile but that smile didn't express what was written all over his face. His eyes were glassy and sad-like, as if he just got out of the worst days of his life. A tall HANDSOME young man he was. His soft-like black hair was messily gelled and he had girly bangs that rested above his eyelid. Oh yeah, he was a cutie! He had on a dark blue collar shirt beneath his black suite and held a big bouquet of white tulips in his hands. Then finally he nodded respectfully to Charleen and excused himself silently.

"Oh, excuse me too..." Charleen quietly said bowing back. She blinked out of her daze when she realized it was impolite to stare but at the same time Charleen had caught the man's mix expression and she wondered confusedly as she place her gaze back to Mrs. Szuki.

Reading Charleen's face Mrs. Szuki sighed. "He's a quiet one alright. I believe he is from Korea. I heard he is here with his father on business matters. He does come here quite often though. Funny thing is, the only type of flowers he would buy is white tulips. Not even a different color. Just plain white."

"White tulips?" Charleen went confused as one of her eyebrows arched. "I mean at least buy colorful ones right?"

Mrs. Szuki nodded. "Yup, sure thing. But like they say, there has to be a reason to everything right?"

"Yeah you're right." Charleen smiled and stepped a little away from the counter. "Any ways, it's really not my business. I really don't know him so I shouldn't have to worry." She then searched around smelling the flowers behind her. "You got any of those pretty carnations?. I'll buy three."

"Sure sweetheart, come right this way." Mrs. Szuki came out from behind the counter and lead the way.

**Ring Ring**(Door bell again)

"Good by honey, see you soon." Mrs. Szuki waved in the air joyfully.

"Bye, oh you'll see me." Charleen assured.

Around the flower shop, just a few blocks away, was the cemetery. After a few minutes Charleen found herself dazing off again about the boy she saw at the flower shop. She never thought Korean guys would be that hot looking. Especially this one. Charleen just couldn't understand why his smile had turned into a sudden frown. Maybe she wasn't alone...maybe he had lost someone very special in his life too...

Suddenly, Charleen was knocked out of her state when she heard a car door shut.

"Huh?.." she paid her conscious towards the midnight-blue Lexus LF-A. "Whoa, nice car."

The car was about 10 feet away from her stand and she found her self solid and still. Why couldn't she move? It was him! that handsome thing! It was the man she met at the flower shop just before. Charleen's eyes grew fairly large and kept her gaze from a distance. The young man had also noticed her too and once again he nodded as to greet her again. Then he continued reaching into the passenger seat of his car and brought out the white bouquet of Tulips. He glanced at her one more time expressionless, soon had his back towards her and walked away.

Charleen nodded again nervously and went back into her own world. So, guess she was right. He must've lost someone too. "I mean that's the only reason why a person would be at a cemetery right?" A voice inside her asked.

Afterwards, Charleen finally got to her father's grave. She slowly kneeled down and noticed all the dead flowers that were still laying in front of it. "Father, I'm here to visit you again. I brought you carnations this time." She managed a slight smile and reached for her locket she was wearing with her necklace. She kissed it gently and got up. Right before she could get up a palm pressed against her shoulders.

"You lost someone special too?" the familiar voice asked.

Charleen's heart beat suddenly and she inhaled deeply as if surprised. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't talk to strangers." She quickly bowed not knowing who it was.

"You know, I lost my mom not too long ago."

When Charleen looked up, it was him! was it really that hunky boy who was talking to her? or was she imagining things? Charleen blinked a few times and stepped a few steps backwards.

"Uh, umm...sorry I don't know you. I should get going."

The boy stared at her weirdly because he was actually expecting that she would say, "I'm sorry to hear that," but no, she refused to talk to him. Before he could even say a word she was already running away.

"Uh, okay. Kind of weird but oh well. Guess I'm just a stranger. But my name is Ethon!" He shouted back. Knowing she couldn't hear him.

Ethon had noticed the girl that he saw at the flower shop was the same girl at that same cemetery too. So he thought since he saw her twice already he was going to take the chance to go meet her. Ethon wanted to tell her that she wasn't alone and life wasn't over but it didn't work out as he expected.

It was Ethon's first week back to Tokyo, Japan and the first thing he wanted to do was to go visit his mother's grave. Unfortunately, his mother was grave was at the same cemetery as that girl.

Soon before Ethon turned back to his car a bright shinny light had caught his eyes. He then peered towards that direction to indicate what it was.

"Huh what's this?" He picked up the golden locket and necklace. He then opened it carefully and peeked inside. It was a picture of a man and his daughter. Which looked exactly like the girl he saw before. Instead, just a younger version.

Ethon inhaled as his eyes grew wide. He turned his head quickly towards the same direction the girl had ran off to and shouted again. "Hey! wait! you...you..." farther and farther the girl grew from him. Ethon scratched his neck and looked at the locket again. "I guess I'll be seeing you again." He smiled and let out a sigh.

Chapter 5


"Mom!" Charleen ran with open arms to her mother.

"Honey, you're back already?"

"Yeah, I'm back. What are you doing?" Charleen smiled.

"BINGO!!" Mrs. Vophaski cheered.

"Bingo? He-he how fun."

Mrs. Vohpaski then glanced over to see that Ethon just walked in the door also. "Ethon, dear, so how was the date?" she winked.

Ethon came over smiling and with his hands knotted casually behind his lower back.

"Mom? What did you just asked him?" Charleen squinted as she glared over at Ethon. "A date? We di-"

"It was great! I bought her a big and tasty meal from Mc Donald's but she didn't eat it. She only ate the fries" Ethon interrupted.

Charleen narrowed her eyes evilly at Ethon for telling on her and she blinked away exhaling through her nose.

"Charleen sweetie, you're so pale and skinny. You really need to get some meat on you." Mrs. Vophaski giggled and slightly pinched Charleen on the arm.

"Mom...urg...fine I will. I'm just waiting for you to get better so I can eat without concern that's all."

"Aww honey, you're so sweet." Mrs. Vophaski embraced Charleen with a happy hug.

Ethon stared away at the loving mother and daughter-like hug and he took a relieve sigh. This brought back memories. He thought back to how beautiful his mom was. His mom always wore white elegant blouses and her hair was always tied high into a bun. Every time he needed comfort he would run into her arms and all his fears and stress would let loose. Now that she was gone, things changed. His father unfortunately, didn't remarry. For that, Ethon was glad. He wouldn't want to anyone else to take his mother's place. Therefore, he was happy his father had buried his mother's body in Tokyo; to stay near him and let his heart at ease. Charleen on the other hand, really reminded him of his mother; skinny, pale and beautiful hazel eyes. Her attractive smile always made him tangle. This angel he was gazing at was definitely to be his happiness now.


*******A week later*****


"Son, come here a moment. I want to speak with you for a moment please" Ethon's father's voice arose in from his office.

"Yes father?" Ethon walked into the office and stood by the door.

"Come sit, I've been needing to talk with you about this but I just haven't got the chance so take a seat."

"What is it that you wanted to talk to me about father?"

"Well, since your mother past away. Our Beauxotic company in Seoul, Korea has decreased it's sells. No one was able to manage the position like your mother can. We can't let this happened. In 3 days I want you to go back there and take over the preparation for this summer's fashion show there. We want the sells to hit the top of the list this year." Mr. Sangwa explained thoroughly.

"But what about here? I thought you brought me here so I can be the one to manage this company here?" Ethon was shocked. He was actually hoping to stay in Tokyo and be near Charleen. He then looked forward unbelieving what he just heard. "Father, you can't be serious. I mean how long would I have to stay there?"

"Oh, not too long. Maybe a year or so" Mr. Sangwa stated.

"A year!?" that's too long." Ethon exclaimed.

"No it's not. You'll be back in no time Do this for your mother please. For the sake of our company."

Ethon was angry he was going to be forced to leave in 3 days but it was for the sake of their company so he couldn't say no. Ethon took a deep breath and then answered curtly "Fine, I don't really believe I have any other choice."

"Why do you sound unhappy all of a sudden?" Concern crossed Mr. Sangwa's face.

"Nothing. I should get going now. Is there anything else you need to talk to me about?" Ethon asked and stood up.

"No, that's all. Don't forget about the Anniversary Party tonight though." His father reminded him.

Ethon nodded and made his way out the door. "Charleen...." he whispered then looked to the time.”12:28, uh just right at lunch." Just the thought of Charleen made him happy. He went into his office, grabbed his jacket and proceeded out the door.

20 minutes later Ethon arrived at Charleen's school and smiled cheerfully as he walked up the stairs.

"Whoa who's that hot thing?" A girl’s voice stated as Ethon walked past her.

Ethon nodded and disregard all the open mouths his way.


!#$%^&Chatters !@#$%

"Oh my, is he new here?"

"No, he looks more mature than that! He doesn't have a uniform on."

"Oh yeah huh, what’s he doing here then?" Another girl answered.

Soon after a familiar face blocked Ethon's way before he could open the office door. "Ethon! What are you doing here?"

"Leah? Hey, I'm here to visit someone. Didn't know you attended school here too" Ethon narrowed his eyes directly at the girl in front of him as soon as he remembered who it was. It was he ex-girlfriend from Korea. She was tall, lean, and beautiful. Her hair was always dressed up into curls and her make-up was still as perfect. She was also the cause of him to decide to leave Korean. Thinking about it made him angry yet he could care less now. All she ever cared about was herself and no one else. The only reason why he used to want to be with her was because she was beautiful but soon enough he came to find she was only a doll face and a gold digger. She made him buy her the most expensive kind of diamonds and most beautiful things and what did she give him in return in the end….nothing but pain. For that, he didn’t want to face her again…nor will he let her seduce him again…

Leah kept on blocking his way and he got a bit annoyed. "Excuse me please. I don't have time to play games." Ethon forced his way through.

"But Ethon, don't you miss me? I never thought I would ever see you again." Leah grabbed a hold of his right arm.

Ethon firmly caress her hands and looked her in the eyes. "It's over, so let it stay that way" and he brushed her hands off his sleeves.

"But...but..." the door shut in her face and Leah waited impatiently by the door. It was her lunch time so she decided to wait out in the hallway.

"What are you still doing here?" Ethon asked as he exits the office.

"I was supposed to ask you that...what are you doing here at this school." Leah answered.

"Ah-hem, I have to go." Ethon looked away and began walking.

"No! Wait, can't we talk. Don’t you know how glad I am to see you? I moved here because I was hoping to find you.”

"And you did, so what more do you want?" Ethon stopped and crossed his arms, looking up to the ceiling.

"Well, now that I've found you, can we go out to lunch.....and I’ll make things up to you?” Leah asked hoping Ethon would give in to her puppy eyes.

"Tsk-ha-ha, no I have better things to do...I have to go to the cafeteria."

"To the cafeteria. What for?" Leah followed Ethon lost. "Sure, we can go have lunch in the cafeteria then" she struggled to smile not understanding the reason why.

Afterwards they entered the cafeteria and Leah walked along side-by-side next to Ethon. The chatters suddenly stopped as the two walk in.

"Hi every one, this is my boyfriend Ethon Sangwa" Leah announced with a happy smile.

"What?" Ethon cleared his throat "I'm not her boyfriend, sorry has any one seen a girl name Charleen?"

Way in the back end of the cafeteria, there sat Shine and Charleen enjoying their lunch.

"So how has your mom been? She doing alright."

"Yeah, she's okay now. She's still at the hospital. The doctors said she got hit by a broken beer bottle, got dragged out of the house and left by the streets." Charleen explained.

Shine gulped and replied "that must be so terrible. Well, I'm glad she's okay now. By the way who found her?"

"A boy. Just a little older than I am I guess." Charleen answered looking up from her plate of food.

"For real? Was he cute?" Shine took a bite of her apple.

"Yeah, very." Charleen blushed and dazed off.

"Hey, Charleen ha-ha you're blushing!" Shine pointed at her.

"I am?" Charleen looked up from her state and touched her cheeks.

"Let me guess, you're thinking of him?"

"No! I'm not!" Charleen denied immediately.

Soon after, Shine caught a handsome man walking their way. He was wearing a nice white collar shirt beneath his dark jacket and a casual dress pant. His shirt was open just a bit where his bare chest shown a little which made him center of attention. She instantly looked behind her to see if there was any thing in back of them. Nothing and she stared back again and placed her gaze at Charleen. "Uh, Charleen why is that man walking over here?" she whispered and pointed.

"Huh, who's walking over here?" Charleen twirled around to see who it was and her heart skipped "oh my gosh, help me...help me!" her eyes grew and she put her face down, hoping he didn’t’ see her.

"Help you? What for? He’s sOOoo hunky!" Shine couldn't stop looking at him.

"Charleen!" the familiar voice called out but Charleen refused to face him.

"Heyah" Shine greeted Ethon.

"Hi" Ethon nodded and made himself comfortable next to Charleen.

"Ethon, what the heck are you doing here?" she mumbled.

"To see you of course. Remember, we were supposed to go out to lunch the other day but you didn’t want to." Ethon reminded her.

"I thought I said no?"

"Well, didn't I tell you I don't take no as an answer." He smiled sweetly.

Shine glanced back and forth from Charleen to Ethon and giggled. "Ha-ha, so you’re Charleen’s savior?"

“Shine!” Charleen glared.

"Yep, that's how we met." Ethon stated.

"Awww, that's so cute. Now Charleen, quit that already. Talk to the man would yah."

"Yeah, talk to me." Ethon attempted to look Charleen in the eyes but she refused to look at him.

"Ethon! What the heck are you doing?" Leah shouted from a distance away from them. She stumped over angrily and stopped behind Ethon. "I thought we were going out to lunch?"

This made Charleen instantly look back to see who it was. It was "Miss popular" she was dressed in her nice tan uniform. Her light brown hair was nicely put up into a messy bun and some of her curls rested down her neck. Although, she didn't look too happy to see that Ethon was sitting next to Charleen, she was to win Ethon's heart again. He was once hers so she wasn't going to let him fall in love with any other low-life girl in school.

"Who the heck is she?" Leah demanded.

"You don't need to know. Now if you'll excuse us, we have to go." Ethon grabbed Charleen's hand and stood up. He glanced over to Shine "You want to come with?"

Shine blinked a few times and answered "Yes, sure....if you don't mind."

"I wouldn't mind anything...Come on." Ethon dragged Charleen out the doors and Leah, surprised and angry as can be, stood there.

"You! You...you can't do that! You're not going to do that to me! Fool!"

Shine looked back and smiled. "Ha-ha looser!" She shouted.

"What was that all about?" Charleen asked swinging her wrist away from Ethon's grip.

"No one you need to know." Ethon replied as he pressed his car alarm control. *Beep-beep*

Charleen instantly came to a stop and glared angrily. "Why don't you want me to know?" she crossed her arms and tilted her head.

"Because she's in the past. I like to leave things in the past."

"Oh, so she's your ex-girlfriend or something?"

"Yeah, something like that but she was just someone that I liked." Ethon stated.

Charleen scowled and got in the back seat with Shine.

It was quite the whole ride and soon Shine broke the silence.

"So where are we going?"

"Anywhere you ladies want." Ethon beamed looking into the rear-view mirror.

"I've always wanted to go to Tokyo's finest Sushi house" Shine suggested.

Ethon chuckled happily and replied "Sure, then to the Sushi house we go."

Charleen scowled at Shine and took a breath. "I'm not hungry. We just ate at school."

"Ha! So did you? The only thing I saw you eat was a celery stick."

"Well, that's because I already finished my sandwich." Charleen argued.

"You gota eat some REAL food. Not just celeries and fries." Ethon laughed out loud.

Anger fled through Charleen's face. She opened her mouth, closed it, opened it again and nothing came out. "What ever..." was all she said.

"Wow! I didn't know the sushi house was going to be this big." Shine exclaimed looking out the window.

Soon Ethon came to a stop and parked. "We're here, ready ladies?"

"I told you I'm not hungry!" Charleen almost yelled.

"Oh yes you are! Come on girl, its just lunch" Shine grabbed Charleen's arms and dragged her ahead, in front of Ethon.

Right when they entered the restaurant Ethon was surprisingly greeted by Alex.

"Hey Ethon, sup bro. What are you doing here?"

"I'm here with Charleen and her friend." Ethon scratched his neck.

Alex tilted his head to get a better view of the girls and suddenly a long black hair girl twirled around as her hair flew off revealing her face. Alex saw this in slow motion and she looked marvelous! His eyes grew like an owl and his mouth dropped, which felt like to the ground. Emerald green eyes she had. Her hair strands flew back and forth across her face and she gave him a beautiful smile.

"Whoa.....who's that?"

"Who? That?" Ethon lift his head towards Shine and glanced back to Alex "That's Charleen's friend. I brought her here with Charleen but I didn't even ask her name."

Alex bumped Ethon out of the way and aimed towards Shine. "Hello, and who might you be miss lovely?" he greeted her with a kiss on the back of the hand.

Shine blushed and giggled. "My name is Shine Fudawoo, and you are?"

"Alex. Alex uuuh...." At this point Alex was so flushed by her beauty that he couldn't even think of his last name.

"Alex Kei, his last name is Kei." Ethon interrupted between and smiled.

"Yeah, Kei, I'm Alex Kei" he still didn't let go of Shine's hand yet.

"Alex, how nice to see you again." Charleen greeted politely.

"Hi Charleen. What a coincident. I was actually walking out but I'll join you ladies and Ethon since you guys are here." Alex replied not taking a glance away from Shine.

The four seated themselves a table and Ethon sat directly across from Charleen. He kept on staring at her which made her very uncomfortable.

"Ah-em, so um...what are you going to order?" she asked Ethon.

"Anything....I'll eat what ever you eat" still he was intentionally staring at her. "Sushi? By all mean, this is a sushi house after all."

"Nope, don't like sushi. It's not my taste." Charleen dared to look at Ethon in the eyes.

"You said you like Tofu. They have a whole menu of Tofu with chicken and all of those good stuff."

Charleen opened her menu book and searched. "Tofu, chicken curry with tofu. I think that'll be good."

"Okay!" Ethon stated as he waved for a waiter/waitress to come by "I need two orders of Chicken curry with tofu and make that spicy please."

"No! Not spicy, make one not spicy...please." Charleen insisted and glared at Ethon.

Ethon smiled sweetly and winked at Charleen. Charleen looked down to the table.

"So you can't eat spicy food?" Ethon grinned.

"No, not that, I just don't like it hot when it comes to curry."

Shine and Alex made their orders. 10 minutes had past and their food was served.

"Yum, doesn't it look good." Ethon asked Charleen and handed her a pair of chopsticks.

"Thank you, yep. It does" she smiled

Before Charleen could take a bite she heard stumps that were coming closer in back of her. She looked at Ethon and he stared behind her.

"Ethon! There you are! So you leave me back there and you decided to take this low-life to lunch huh?" Leah stood over their table.

"Excuse me! Your spit is getting all over our food!" Shine stood straight up.

"Freak! Sit back down!" Leah demanded getting into Shine's face.

Leah flipped her hair back and continued at Ethon. "So, you left me in Seoul for her?? She's a snob! Look at her! Are you like, shallow or something?" Leah placed her hands on her hips.

Ethon rolled his eyes as if annoyed and he set his eyes back to Charleen. He now saw that her face was getting even redder by the minute. What was she thinking? Instantly, Charleen stood right up and without a word she slipped out of her seat, bumped Leah on the shoulder, and aimed for the exit.

"Charleen! D@mnit!" Ethon shouted. He got out of his seat and ignored Leah and ran after Charleen.

Just before Charleen could open the door Ethon caught her wrist.

"Let me go jerk! You brought me here so that girl can make fun of me didn't you!" Charleen shouted into Ethon's face.

"What? So that she could make fun of you? Why the heck would I do that?" Ethon went confused.

"So is this what you do when you're RICH? Let others be made fun of and look down upon them?"

"No! How could I do that?"

Charleen eyes got shaky and she didn't know what to say. She looked at her wrist and Ethon was still holding on to it. "LET ME GO! Leave me alone!" with her might she managed to snap her wrist away and proceeded out the door.

"Charleen!" Ethon said once more.

"Charleen...is that her name?" Leah came grabbing his arm. "See, she doesn't want you. I'm the one who wants you not her." Leah whispered.

"NO! Hands off!" He swung his hand away from Leah's grip and out the door he went.

"FOOL!" Leah stumped her foot and looked over at Alex and Shine.

Alex rolled his eyes and glared at Leah answering her face expression. "Let him go Leah. He doesn't want you anymore. Are you blind or what? If he wanted you, he wouldn't be running after her."

"You're just about as stupid as he is Alex! You just watch, Ethon's heart will only be mine and no one else!" With that, she stumped out.

Shine and Alex looked at each other lost and confused.

"I hate her..." Shine mumbled.

"Don't waste your time. Use your time that you’re using to hate her and use it on me." Alex insisted playfully.

Shine gave a sarcastic laugh. "Ha! Sure, player!"

"Player? How can you already say I'm a player when we just met?"

"Come on you're the President of Beauxotic's company’s personal assistant. You're on television all the time. Every time I see you, you're always with a different lady. It's so predictable." Shine laughed out loud.

Alex scowled at her and wrapped his hands around her. "So I see, you like to watch me? Ain't I handsome?"

"Pssh! Please, but your a player. I don't find myself interested in players."

Alex laughed and looked into Shine's eyes. "Watch me; I'll make you think twice on that."

Shine laughed again and pushed him a distance away. "Looser, I don't need players like you to make me reconsider. Hahaha!"
