CILIA'S POV
I smiled as the security gate parted open and Jay drove us into the vast compound, the guards around all bowed low in greeting as his gold plated Lamborghini Aventador drove past. He parked the car at the garage and stepped down, walking to my side he opened the door for me with a smile and I stepped out to behold the beautiful rooftop five rooms duplex before me. Jay brought me to his sister's new home, one he got for her before her arrival. I smiled as he entwined our fingers after closing the car door, he led us to the entrance.
Since that Sunday I agreed to give Jay a chance in my life, it's been heaven on earth for me. I couldn't stop smiling, I was overwhelmed with so much happiness and fulfilment, my long time crush was mine now. It's okay to dream and fascinate sometimes, who knows, your dreams and wishes might come true like mine did. I was touched, when Jay went on his knees for me and when I saw that tear, my heart clutched, I needed no one to tell me he was sincere and wouldn't break my heart all over. We've been going out since then, we chat and make phone calls and video calls, I was happy and he was too. I'm the first girl he has ever gone on his knees for, the first and only girl he opened up his feelings to, that alone is enough to make me jubilate and congratulate myself for such favour I received. I knew Jay was sincere with me not just because of his actions but because of some private interviews I've watched of him in the past, where he was asked on how he gets his inspirations for his inspiring songs, Jay had smiled and said from a special person whom he had never met but had seen her on social media. I remember being jealous of whoever that girl was but now that I know it was me because he said so when I asked him, what more would I need to be happy? I was resisting before because I was scared of becoming another victim of heartbreak but I know now that I have nothing to be scared of. Jay was never committed to a girl before, he told me all about the girls he had been with before and even that Suzy that made me stood up the other day, she wasn't even in any relationship with Jay, he had met her in the past in South Korea and she was one of the band members girlfriend he had performed with. But since then she's been throwing herself at him, but he declined all her moves and intentions but even after returning to America the girl kept bothering him. Hmm, well she would definitely stop by the time she hears of our relationship.
None of my previous boyfriends had ever shed a tear before me, none had ever introduce me to their very close friends neither had any ever introduced me to their family members, not even Eddie. But just look at Jay, I smiled as I watch him punch in the password that would open the door. We weren't officially in a relationship yet but he has introduced me to one of his best friends Daniel, and I'm about to be introduced to his sister. I feel like bursting due to over happiness, I've never felt this certain and happy of my relationship before. I was on cloud nine and I'm extremely happy.
The door opened and he took me in, the living room was beautiful and so well furnished. I could see few maids around.
"Your sis lives in here alone?" I looked at him.
"Mmm yeah but with two maids, Ma'am Alicia the cook and Genny one of the cleaners. The rest of them return to their homes daily." He explained with a smile. I nodded.
She's trying, I can't stay alone in a house with just two maids, I easily get scared but Elle and Tania can though. We decided to live within campus because of our studio and also to avoid the stress of driving from home to school everyday, and the major reason was because we wanna have the complete experience of the campus life.
"Oppa beolsseo nae dongsaeng-eul delyeo wass-eo?(Oppa you brought my sister in-law already?)" I looked up and there she stood Midway down the stairs with a hand on the banister.
She is really gorgeous even on the casual orange pullover she was wearing over denim shorts and white flip-flops, her long black hair was held up in a ponytail.
"Oh my, you are really beautiful," she cooed and hurried down the stairs. I smiled at her.
"You are too."
"Thanks Saline, it's nice to really meet the girl that stole my brother's strong heart." She hugged me, I smiled shyly.
"How's your Dad, Dr Houston and your mom Mrs Lilian?" She asked after we disengaged. I furrowed my brows. She address them like she knows them.
"They are fine. You know about my family?" She smiled.
"Well many years ago your dad was our family doctor. My brother and I were birthed at his hospital." She said. I looked at Jay and mouthed a wow. He chuckled.
"Come sit down dear, I'll get you something to drink. We'll talk about food later," she said with a wink, I smiled and walked with her.
"Oppa deudieo dulyeoum-eul geugbog haejwoseo gippeo(Oppa I'm glad you finally got over your fear).Jinjja namjaga dwaeseo neomu Jalangseuleowo,(I'm very proud of you for becoming a real Man,) Dando geuui jag-eob-eulhago issdago hwagsinhabnida(I bet Dan's working on his too.)"
"geulaeseo nan jinjja namjaga ani eoss-eo?(So I wasn't a real man before?)" Jay chuckled, she clicked her tongue in mockery.
Well I'm not sure what they were saying because they were discussing in Korean but I don't get why she keeps calling him oppa.
"I'm sorry but why are you calling your brother oppa, doesn't oppa mean boyfriend?" I asked looking at her. She gasped turning to look at me.
"You understand Korean?" She asked wide eyes.
"I wish. I'm trying to learn though, I only understand the little words like sorry, love, thanks etcetera." I said smiling shyly at Jay who was looking at me in surprise.
"Wow that's great, I could teach you if you want. This dude is really lucky," she said eyeing her brother. Jay rolled his eyes.
"I would so much love that," I said with a grin. She smiled.
"Anyway, oppa for a girl could mean brother when the person she's referring to is her blood or relative. Other times for a girl who isn't related to a guy by blood just as you, oppa could also mean a lover." She explained.
"Wow, that's amazing." I said.
"Yeah, come sit down please." I sat down beside Jay on the biggest couch. Lisa walked away to the kitchen I guess.
"Your sis is nice, I like her." I smiled at him.
"Told you so, just wait till you meet my Mom, she's extraordinarily nice and caring you might freak out." I chuckled. My eyes wandered around the living room, I saw several portraits on the wall. Most of which were of Kim Lisa and some of her and Jay, and three others of the idols alone, she and them and one more of Jay alone. They were all beautiful, I looked back at Jay. He was watching me with a smile, his lashes twinkling cutely.
"Feel free okay, be comfortable." He said. I nodded folding my lips, I looked ahead and that was when I saw something that caught my attention, just a little distance from the huge television was a large portrait of Kim Lisa, one definitely painted by a genius artist, it was looking so real and very beautiful. I couldn't hold myself from wanting to be so close to it, so I stood up and walked towards it.
I stared at the portrait in total admiration forgetting everything else, my eyes taking in every single detail, slightly at the end of the drawing a signature name of the artist was written, JR'S ART. It caught my attention most so I continued to stare at it.
"That was my 20th birthday gift from Daniel." I turned around slightly, she already returned with a bottle of apple drink, my favorite drink. How did she know? Daniel's also an artist? How did I not know? I stared at the drawing again, the signature name in particular.
'The name Jordan has been ringing in my memory since we came here.' Elle's words rang in my memory. What if Daniel is Jordan? Look at it, JR Jordan Roberts? Maybe not, but what's the meaning of JR? I turned back to Lisa and smiled.
"It's beautiful, although I never knew Dan's an artist." I said trying to restrain myself from asking her that dumb question.
"He is, but why do I feel like there's something else you wanna say?" She asked curiously peering at me. I smiled.
"It's nothing,"
"You're sure..."
"Really...Okay...yeah I'm in...sure... I'll be on my way now... Okay." Jay's voice interrupted us, we both turned to look at him. He stood up hurriedly from the couch, picking up his car key.
"I'm sorry guys but I have to go now, my manager just called me there's something I need to handle. Lisa take care of my babe alright?" We both stared at him puzzled. Well I, because Lisa was now smiling. "Babe, I'll come pick you up later. Relax she's my sis okay?" He kissed my cheek quickly making me blush. Lisa giggled.
"Go, I'll take good care of her." She said.
"I'll be fine of cause, go." I smiled at him. He nodded and hurried out.
"What did you do to my brother?" She said and we laughed.
"Hey, I've been holding this for long, have it." She placed the apple drink on my hand.
"I was gonna ask how you knew that was my favorite drink?" I said smilingly, while opening the can.
"It is? Well I've seen you take this countless times on your weekend videos, aside from ice cream which I know you love taking, so I just brought it on clue." She said.
"That's true actually," I took a quick sip through the straw.
"Come there's something I need to show you and after that, I'll take you round my home and then we would have Korean BBQ, you haven't tried any Korean dish before have you?"
"I haven't,"
"Well you will today, Genevieve! Genny!" She shouted. A young maid hurried in.
"Yes Miss," she said with a humble bow.
"Please tell Ma'am Alicia I would like a dish of spicy sea snail salad with somyeon the thin noodles, and em.. grilled Korean beef sirloin." I stared at her with mouth slightly open.
"Okay Miss," Genny hurried back to the kitchen.
"What? I eat a lot." She giggled.
"Why ain't you adding up then?" I asked looking at her.
"Don't know," She shrugged "Maybe because I workout, besides we don't have fat in my family."
"I see," I nodded. She chuckled.
"How old are you?" She asked
"I'll be 22 on 20th March." I said drinking from my juice.
"We are age mates then, I became 22, January 8. I guess we would be celebrating your birthday soon then." She smiled.
"Certainly, but then will you be schooling at our Uni?" I suddenly asked.
"Well, I graduated from model school last December. But while I'm here I wanna study a different course Dietetics. I would be resuming soon next week to be precise." She said.
"That's a very good course, I'm sure you would do well with it considering you are a foodie you know." I said humorously with a knowing wink.
"That's very funny," she laughed. "Thanks for the compliment, come with me upstairs we've been standing since Jay left. I also need to show you something." She said leading the way.
"Okay," I closed the bottle and followed her upstairs to her beautiful peach coloured room. She made me sit down on the single couch and I watched her insert a flash drive into her laptop.
"Here we go. I just want you to see this to help you relax and know that my brother wouldn't hurt you." She smiled and moved away from the laptop, then sat on her bed. I turned my attention to the laptop and I was so touched as I watched it.
It was a video taken of Jay unaware to him by his friends while he was sitting down as he laughed at something on his phone, whoever that was videoing zoomed to his phone and I saw to my utter amazement that Jay was watching one of my weekend video one I took with the girls early last year, we had just got in Royal Empire University then. The way he was smiling and laughing as he watched it, made me smile tearily. I watched him blush as his friends teased him, that was when he discovered they were videoing him. He laughed and face palmed himself and the video ended with background laughter.
I was so touched I stood up from my seat, ran to his sister and hugged her tightly. Jay didn't lie about all he told me, this was another prove.
"Thanks for showing this to me Kim, I really appreciate." I said when I finally released her.
"It's okay, I'm already seeing you as my sister in-law." She smiled. I laughed and we hugged again briefly.
"Ready for a tour round the house of this girl here?" I smiled and nodded.
"You get lonely from time to time don't you?"
"Definitely, I really miss my best friend back in South Korea. But I've always wanted to join your dance group so I have to. Sometimes I sit with Ma'am Alicia and Genny and we talk when I get really lonely and bored. But it's fine anyway, I just need time and I would adjust." She smiled.
"Don't worry I'll come visit you from now on, even without Jay." I smiled back at her.
"Why don't you girls just move in with me?" She asked seriously. "The house is big enough to contain us all, besides it's not very far from the campus. It's close by, just five to ten mins drive that's all." She added convincingly. Such a nice offer, but I don't know if the girls would like that.
"I don't know about that, I'll have to talk to the girls first. And if they accept it, we move in."
"Yes please do, that'll ease my boredom and loneliness, and we'll get to practice more often as a complete team other than waiting till weekend, don't you think?" I smiled at her enthusiasm.
"Mmmh, you have a point there." I said playfully.
"You see? Come let me take you around, you can also take photos if you want so you would have something to show them other than words. After that we would eat and see a movie together, before Jay comes to pick you up."
"I love that idea." I smiled as she squealed and pulled me up.

PENNY'S POV
I walked into the science library and the first thing my eyes decided to see was prince charming. But he wasn't sitting alone, he was sitting and smiling with the wrong princess. This girls really have a way of accessing good things, first Saline and Jay, now Rosy and Roe. Maybe next it'll be Daniel and Diva. I couldn't help the feeling of jealousy as I stared at them.
I reprimanded myself about the reason I was here, to study like everyone else and to excel not to come stare at prince charming. I rolled my eyes away and walked to another section of the library where I won't have to see them, after grapping a book. I sat down and flipped through as I read, trying to understand everything. I was a fast reader so I knew in no time I would be done with it and pick up another. In case you are wondering, I'm in Biochemistry department year two. Roe's department, I know right?

ROE'S POV
"I guess I'd leave now," she glanced at her wrist watch. "Yeah, I've gotta go it's way past my reading hours and I have another test in an hour." She was packing up her books already.
"Okay. It was fun reading with you Rosy." I smiled at her.
"Likewise Roe." She smiled.
"Next time you would do well to tell me about the acupuncture thing, it sounds like fun." I said.
"Yeah, I would be glad to do that. But ain't you tired already, you're not gonna rest your brain? It's been two straight hours since I met you here." She said concernedly. I chuckled.
"I'll study for one more hour, I don't have any more test today."
"Okay then, I will see you later." She picked up her bag and stood up.
"Sure. Goodbye." I said. She smiled and walked away.
I turned to my book and flipped through, I was done with my personal studies. I just need to review through a course from year two in biochemistry because I'd be having tutorial for my students later in the day. I closed the textbook and stood up. I walked to the section where year two biochem books are kept.
My eyes scanned the shelves but I was yet to see it, I walked to another shelf and there it was. I reached out to grab it but someone else wanted it. I stared at the hand on the book, female's hand. I trailed the hand to it's owner. I stared at her in surprise, she was surprised too, she's beautiful but I don't like the company she's keeping. She's one of Lucia's friend I don't know her name, but from her looks she's obviously not american, she looks British rather, with beautiful green eyes, long brown hair and creamy white skin. My mind went back to the day she tried talking to me and I snubbed her.
We were at the tennis court that day, when Lucia suddenly showed up with them and as usual tried to get Dan's attention while her friends tried talking with Jay and I.
'Hi,' She had said but just as my friends, I had ignored her, picked up my racquet and walked away. Also the other day at the music hall, we had also walked out on them. No one wants to associate with people who lacks manners and who are trouble seekers.
I removed my hand from the book so she could take it. She stared at me for a while before taking out the book and walking away. Her eyes held emotions I'm yet to understand.
I shrugged and walked back to my seat.
CILIA'S POV
I laughed as I unsuccessfully tried to flip the beef on the barbecue with my chopstick. Lisa laughed and helped me do it with a bigger cutlery. I watched as she dice the cooked ones and using a chopstick, she placed some on my plate.
"Yummy isn't it?" she asked dipping beef into her sauce and eating it.
"Uhmm," I nodded with a smile as I chewed. It was indeed tasty.
It was way past 3pm and it's been three hours since Jay left and he was yet to return. I've had a lots of fun with her, since she's someone you can never get bored with. Always cheerful and enthusiastic, I love that. Earlier she took me round the beautiful duplex like she said, and we had fun taking photos with my mini camera i always take it along when I'm going out since I'm someone that loves photography. The duplex had a swimming pool and a beautiful garden, just as Elle's taste. She can't live in an environment with no natures work, even the dorm has a large beautiful garden.
So after taking photos, we sat down in her living room and saw some movies together while eating popcorn because Ma'am Alicia wasn't done cooking. Then when she was done, we decided to eat at the beautifully furnished rooftop. Amazing I tell you.
"Have some dried seaweed rolls, in Korean it's called Gimbap." She placed a plate before me.
"Thanks," I said with a smile.
"Yeah, try it." She urged. I did and I loved it.
"Wow are all Korean dishes this delicious?" I said humorously, she chuckled.
"I am on the same page as you." She laughed and took a sip from her cocktail glass. I heard a car drive in, I looked at her.
"Yeah I think he's back." She smiled.
In no time Jay walked up to us from the stairs, looking dashing as ever, his beautiful smile playing on his lips, his blonde hair ruffled.
"My vanilla cupcake, my cookie, my hunnybunny and my strawberry ice cream. Come sit with me LJ hunny." I praised sweetly. That's what I would be calling him now, LJ Hunny. Lisa giggled in amusement while Jay blushed, he bent down and kissed my cheeks.
"Hey babe, sorry I was gone for a while." He sat down and looked at his sister. "Lisa what did you do to my girl? She calls me bunny now?" He said in Korean but I understood his first sentence. Lisa chuckled.
"Bunny is a good pet name, isn't it my beautiful gorgeous sister-in-law?" She asked sweetly, with an innocent grin. I smirked understandingly, seems like he doesn't fancy bunnies and his sis derives joy in calling him bunny.
"It sure is, Dear LJ hunny bunny right baby?" I sang in a cute singsong voice. Jay groaned.
"Babe, I ain't a bunny." He whined poutingly.
"But you are my bunny, right strawberry hunny?" I purred rubbing his hair. He sighed in defeat when I kissed his cheek. I smirked smugly.
"Good boy." I giggled and winked at Lisa. She grinned.
"Have I told I like you and we make a good team?"
"The feeling is mutual darling," I said shoving a piece of meat into Jay's mouth, while rubbing his hair.
"Partners in crime." He said poutingly with his mouth full.
"We sure are," we simultaneously said and laughed.
"Open I'll feed you," I said raising a spoonful of seaweed stew to his mouth.
"Wait babe, you guys haven't heard or seen the latest from your phones have you?" Jay suddenly said stopping me.
"About what?" Lisa asked.
"Where are your phones?"
"Our phones are downstairs." I said staring at his face, he was smiling elatedly.
"Oppa what's going on?" Lisa asked dropping her chopstick. Jay smiled and brought out his phone from his pocket, I dropped my spoon back in the plate. Can't wait to clear the suspense.
"It's finally happened, Dan truly did it like you said Lisa." He said showing us his phone. My mouth fell open and Lisa gasped. There where several photos of Dan and Elle taken at the botanical garden, with different types of headline all pointing at the same thing.
DANIEL ROBERTS TRUE GIRLFRIEND FINALLY REVEALED.
IS DANIEL REALLY DATING THE CELEBRITY DANCER DIVA?
My lips broke into a wide happy smile. Finally! I breathe in relief. I'm so very happy for Elle, her dream came true. The photos of them both were so cozy, I love it. Love was all the photo spells, the way Dan was looking at her? Oh my, love in the air I tell you. No doubt he finally confessed his feelings to her but what really happened? This dude did really changed for good, but what's the reason? I'm sure I'll find out from Elle. I looked at the siblings, both of them were smiling in genuine happiness and relief.
"It's been years since I saw Dan this happy, that was the first time he..." Jay was saying, as he stared at his phone.
"Finally, he did it. He overcomed and that's all that matters. Oppa you guys made me very proud. I'm glad I witnessed these days." Lisa said enthusiastically interrupting him with a beautiful smile and a faraway look in her eyes. I looked back at Jay, he sniffed and raised his face up. His eyes were glassy but he was still smiling.
"LJ hunny, what's wrong?" I asked worriedly. He laughed and the tears poured out.
"Don't worry babe, it's tears of joy." He turned and hugged me. Is it me or are they being weird?
"Hey guys we need to celebrate this day." Lisa said, Jay released me.
"We sure have to." He laughed wiping his eyes.
There's definitely a lot to this than I think? Or is it because of Dan's downcastness after his breakup with Goldie? I don't think so. Jay looked at me and smiled.
"I'm very sure you would understand soon. We'll leave the explanation to your friend Diva. She'll definitely be able to tell you something." He smiled and squeezed my hand gently.
"Don't worry partner." Lisa smiled at me.
"Okay, celebrate shall we?" I said smilingly.
"Yessss..." They shouted happily.
I'm sure I would get to the bottom line of it all, very soon I know......
