Chapter 29 Found Twenty Nine
I still can't stop the joy that I am feeling now. Until now I still remember what Andrew did during our first monthsary. It's been one week but it seems like only yesterday.
I really love that guy. And I'm sure of it. I was thankful for that night. Because of that, I proved to myself that I love him. And I should not be nervous at the reunion which will happen today.
Yes, today is our reunion but unlike in the past, I am calmer now. I have nothing to fear because I am sure that I love Andrew and he is the only man I want to be with for the rest of my life.
I woke up early because I had someone to pick up at the airport. I was so excited as I went inside the car.
I was 15 minutes at the airport when the person I was waiting for arrived.
"Prince!" I called him with excitement and ran towards him.
I hugged him immediately. I miss him so much. It's been what? Five years? I super miss my best friend.
"Princess I know you miss me but I'm choking." He said laughing.
I let go of the hug and I rolled my eyes. "Is that so? Is it bad to miss you?" I said in a sulking mood.
He chuckled and he put his arm around me. "of course not. It's just that someone might know me. It took a hard time to book a flight where we can hide it from the media. Then you act like this as if you want to attract attention and make a scandal."
'You are so mean! What scandal?! I just hug you then you will say that I am making a scandal?!" I hissed.
He pinches my nose. "Don't feel bad about what I said. And your voice is so loud it seems like you swallowed a microphone."
I glared at him. I think that the only thing that he missed is to annoy me.
'Whatever! Let's just go because someone might recognize you." I said and I pulled him out of the airport.
He is laughing while following me.
He doesn't want to attract attention but he laughed so loud, he is attracting attention!
Well, I understand why he is being careful not to be seen by other people. He is a famous Kpop star not only in Korea but also in the whole of Asia, especially in the Philippines.
Their group or band name is ASYA. They are managed by a known Korean entertainment company which is FNC. FNC became known because of their Hallyu group which is FT ISLAND and CNBLUE. ASYA is now considered a Hallyu band in Korea because of its popularity around the globe.
We arrived at our house, we were just at the door but I already heard the noise from the boys. When we went inside, they immediately called me.
I first called the house helper to put Charles' baggage in the guest room. I already asked my mommy and daddy if it's okay for Charles to stay here. Because it will be difficult for him to hide the fact that he is in the country if he will book in a hotel. The news that he is here might reach the media.
"Hey, guys!" I greeted them.
I went to my boyfriend and kiss him on the cheek. And as expected we received teased from them. I don't know with them why they still teased us as if the fact that Andrew is my boyfriend has not yet sunk in their minds.
"Baby I want you to meet my ultimate best friend... Charles and Charles meet my boyfriend Andrew. handsome right?" I said in a boastful tone.
He just shook his head. 'Hi, Andrew nice to meet you." He said then he offers his hand for a handshake.
"Nice to finally meet you. Alli often talked about you." Andrew said while he accepted the handshake.
'So it's that it? You will only introduce Andrew to your guest? Maybe you have forgotten Alli that I am your cousin." He said and started to sulk.
'Stop sulking cousin. It doesn't suit you." I said in a teasing tone.
He just rolled his eyes. Omg Lance! That is so gay!
"Okay fine. Charles meets my very handsome cousin Lance and his friends Vince he is also a celebrity just like you, and Mike." I said.

I was happy when I saw that Charles is getting along with them. They even went to the music room and play music together. Charles is the lead guitarist in their group but he can also sing.
At 6 pm Charles and I started preparing for the reunion later. The event will start at 8 pm, we left the house at 7:30 pm.
We are here in the parking lot of the said venue. Honestly, I don't know how I feel. Earlier I was super fine, not a bit nervous. But as we got closer and closer to the venue, I started to get nervous again.
"Nervous?" Charles asked worriedly.
I know Charles feels my nervousness. I nodded at him. "A bit."
"Don't worry everything will be fine. Okay?"
I sighed. "Okay."
We entered the private room they rented together. They all turned to us and one by one came to greet us.
"Seriously until now are you still together?"
"Don't tell me you guys are a couple?"
"I think you are right because Alli's status in Facebook now is in a relationship right?"
"But doesn't Charles live in Korea?"
They started to bombard us with a lot of questions.
"Okay, guys. Chill okay? We will answer all your questions. But can't we all sit first before your interview?" Charles said jokingly.
Everyone obeyed what Charles said. When we all sat down I couldn't help but look in front of me because earlier I felt like someone was looking at me.
Suddenly my eyes widened to see who the person was earlier looking at me.
"Hi, Allison. It's been a long time," he said.
"Jester, yeah. It's been a long time." I am doing my best not to show them what I feel right now.
I made my voice as casual as possible.
I felt Charles' hand grasp my hand and squeeze it. I looked at him and smiled. Assuring him that I'm okay.
"So what's the news between you two?" Asked one of our classmates.
Charles and I spent about 2 hours answering their questions. From what happened to me, how I felt to be with my real family, the pressure of carrying my surname, and my relationship status. Charles, on the other hand, shares his experiences in Korea and as a Kpop artist.
We had a happy reunion. Just look back at our crazy antics, former love teams, and whatnot.
I wanted to have my alone time and leave my noisy and naughty classmates, that is why I decided to go to the veranda.
"There you are."
I stiffened when I heard that voice. I slowly turned around. I was even more nervous to know that my suspicion was correct.
"Jester."
