She stopped staring down at the ground. I didn't say anything to her. I pulled her into arms. Holding her tight. I felt her body relax. Her breathing calmed. Her heartbeat calmed.

"You did good." I spoke softly.

"I hate her so much." She sighed.

I didn't know what to say.

"I've always wanted to ask...what happened to your family." Paige looked up at me.

"Let's walk and talk." I said taking her hand.

I let out a sigh.

"My parents are back in Korea." I looked down at the sky. "I still talk to them here and there but it's hard due to time zones. When I'm done with college I'll be going back for a few months."

She stood and looked up at him.

"I'm taking you with me." He smiled.

"So the guy you call dad...who is exactly?" Paige asked.

"Me and the boys are trying to debut but I think it's best if we go to Korea and do it." I looked at the sky.

"Same." She squeezed my hand. "Let's go, I'm hungry."

We walked to the nearest fast food place. We sat and ate. I called up Hyungwon to come and get us.

"I'll be back, I have to use the bathroom." Paige stood leaving me.

I sat sipping my dream and scrolling through my social media when a girl walked up.

"Hey cutie." She sat down where Paige was sitting.

I looked up at her with a blank stare.

"I'm Ella." She smiled.

I sat there staring at her like if I didn't know what she was saying.

"Can you not hear me?" Her eyes searching mine.

"Uh, I don't...erm English." I said.

Paige walked out but stopped.

"Oh I'm sorry." She stood and walked away. "I don't have time for someone who doesn't speak English."

Paige walked over laughing.

"Nice." She sat down.

"I was deciding if I should say something in Korean or not." I laughed.

"She's looking over here." Paige laughed.

"Let's go. I don't want her coming back." We stood leaving.

The girl gave us a rude look. I wrapped my arm around Paige's waist. Hyungwon pulled up just in time.

We got home and went straight to the room.

"I'm gonna go change." Paige said grabbing her clothes and going into the bathroom.

After a few minutes I started to worry.

It doesn't take this long to get dressed.

I opened the door surprised at it being unlocked. She stood there staring at her body.

"Oh Paige." I walked over to her.

I caught of glimpse of her face in the mirror. She was crying.

I turned her so that she was facing me. My eyes scanned her breast, her chest, her upper arm.

"How long?" I asked.

"Since my mom left my dad." She sniffed.

I traced my finger across one of them. I lifted her face up so that she could look at me.

"You're still so beautiful." I smiled.

She chuckled like if I was telling her a lie.

"Let me show you." I looked at her.

I grabbed her hand leading her to the bed. I quickly rushed to the door and locked it.

"Kihyun..." She mumbled.

I laid her back so that I could see her body. I ran my fingers down her stomach. Her beautiful body.

Tonight I'll make her mine.
