Darkness invaded the whole city streets. Snow is still falling but not as heavy compared to yesterday. In a bustling street, where tall buildings and shopping malls are built.
Crowds of cheers and a long line of people are slowly gathering at the entrance of one of the biggest malls located in the area. People are holding different kinds of banners with Everly's name printed on them.
There are some who hold signage with her pretty face placed. Today is the fan signing event for Everly's newest album. Armed guards in uniform are stationed in the center hall of the mall.
A mini stage is built at the forefront and a long table is stationed at the side where people can have a meet and greet session with Everly. Everly hasn't arrived yet at the venue but the long crowd of people waiting for her is already gathered.
"And that's a wrap everyone! Good work", the director said after the last stage performance was rehearsed. Everly is currently having a rehearsal a
That question made Everly pause for a moment. ' Has she fallen in love? It's a big yes. And now she's still searching for that lost love she once had.'Gazes of people looked intently at her, waiting for her answer. When the host called her name once again, this broke her dazing self. She laughed slightly before answering. "Uhm, sorry for that. I was shocked by the first question. Hahaha."The people laughed at her response. This gave her a chance to sigh in relief. She didn't notice that she was lost in thoughts after hearing that question. Luckily, she managed to hide it immediately."Well, it was really a shocking question. It was my first time hearing a fan boldly asking an artist about her love life. Hahaha," The host wisely added."Hahaha, I know. So, for that question, have I ever loved someone that I'm willing to die for? Uhm, the answer would be yes. I had that kind of love once."The crowd went crazy after hearing the answer. Sho
As soon as Everly's manager entered the room, she found her lying on the cold floor. She instantly walked down and grabbed her in her arms. "Everly! Everly! Wake up!" She tried tapping her face but Everly didn't make any response. Her breathing turned rapid as she worriedly looked at Everly's pale face. She shook her body trying to wake her up. "Everly! Wake up!" A staff member heard her scream and went directly to the room. He looked shocked to see the unconscious body of Everly in the arms of her manager. Her manager noticed the presence of the staff and she instantly glanced at him. "What are you doing?! Hurry up! Call an ambulance!" The staff member came back to his senses and hurriedly took his phone from his pocket. "Hello! Yes, we have an emergency here! Please send an ambulance right away! A patient fell unconscious. Please, hurry up!" "Are they coming?!" Everly's manager asked. "Yes, they will be here in less than 10 minutes."
"Doctor, why isn't she waking up? 3 days have passed since she fell unconscious. Is there something wrong with her?" Manager Kim worriedly asked as she stared at Everly's sleeping body.3 days have already passed since Everly was admitted to the hospital. Her accident was not broadcast because the news was blocked by their agency. And also, Melissa handled the situation at the mall so well.She managed to create an excuse for Everly's absence during the meet and greet. Fortunately, Everly's fans weren't so hung about it so they bought the excuse. They are really thoughtful and understanding, so everything was easily settled.Now, the only problem is Everly wasn't awake. She was starting to worry about her health. At first, she thought she was just taking her time to rest, but 3 days have already passed by and she's still sleeping. It's starting to make her panic.Different thoughts and reasons passed through her mind as she stayed in the hospital, taking
The afternoon came on that same day. Everly laid in bed as she watched the scenery outside. It was still bright and the snow ceased to fall. An IV line is connected to her arm, which made it harder for her to move carelessly.She had noticed earlier that the room she was in was well-toned and very huge. There's a couch on the other side of the room where guests can rest and there's a wide glass window on her left side. Because the curtains were opened, she could see the scenery.Her bed was slightly elevated so she could watch the people in the garden in the hospital. She glanced and looked towards the door when it suddenly opened. It was her manager who entered bringing a plastic bag and fruit in her hands. "I'm back."Everly made a slight smile. Manager Kim walked toward her and gave her a cup. "What is this?""It's soya milk. Drink it before it gets cold. I heard it's nutritious for you. Are you hungry?" Manager Kim asked."No, I'm fine Manager
In the clear blue sky, where the trees gently swayed in the wind, Everly dressed in a noble lady's clothes together with her personal maid, they walked through the streets of Amsterdam. She used to sneak out of the palace just to observe and look at the people living happily on the streets. It was fortunate for her that not many people saw the face of Princess Everly, so she didn't need to cover her face as she ventured through the crowded streets. Her personal maid, Myrtle, is following alongside her. "Your Highness, are you sure it is okay with you to sneak out of the palace today?"Princess Everly paused and glanced at her. "Of course, we do this all the time. There's nothing for you to worry about. And I told you, don't call me Your Highness if we are outside the palace."Myrtle's eyes widened and sneakily glanced around. When she confirmed that nobody heard her, she sighed in relief. "I'm sorry miss.
"Everly! Are you okay?" Manager Kim worriedly asked. She was awoken by small groans and the creaking of the bed. That's when she realized that Everly was having a nightmare.She immediately rushed to her side to wake her up. After a couple of trials, Everly woke up panting. Her heart was beating rapidly and cold sweat flushed along her forehead. Her body was trembling so hard. Her mind was a mess as she stared blankly at the person holding her."Everly?" Manager Kim sat on the bed and looked directly into her eyes. When she didn't respond, it started to worry her. She shook her body once again. This time, Everly's eyes blinked. "Manager Kim?" Her tone was so soft that it sounded like a whisper.Manager Kim sighed in relief. "Glad you're awake now.""What happened, Manager Kim?""You had a nightmare earlier. I'm glad I managed to wake you up. Are you okay?" She held Everly's hands gently. Caressing it and comforting her.Everly stared at thei
Thumping music assaulted everyone's ears as soon as the lights dimmed. The stage stood proud in the center of the scene. Waving their guitars in the air ecstatically, the band took their assigned places on stage.Silence reigned but anticipation hung in the air. After a few minutes of twiddling and turning knobs on the amps, the band started playing a familiar tune. Gasps of awe spread across the crowd when a spotlight highlighted the person at the center of the stage.Everly stood in front with a mic in her hand. Her wavy hair cascaded on down to her waist. She wore a light pink cocktail knee-length dress. The crowd grew wild when they saw her at the center.A smile formed on her lips before she sang the first lines of her song.~Don't you miss me at all?My name, my face, my voiceThe way I talk, The way I laughWhy don't you miss me at all?Your name, your face, your voiceThat sweet look y
Inside the luxurious apartment, Everly is sitting on a long white sofa. The living room has a touch of a minimalistic style. Beige tiles, a big white fur mat in the center, and a small circular glass table.Surrounding it is the white sofa, facing the large smart TV in front. Landscape paintings were hanging on the wall, giving a comfy atmosphere.Everly is finally back at her apartment after having a hectic schedule on her world tour. They arrived last night and she went straight directly to her apartment to rest. In her hand, there was a small jade box.She carefully opened it and stared at the necklace. She caressed it gently and softly whispered, "I finally found you Reyl. Now that I have finished my work schedules, I can now focus on you."A knock on the door came. She hurriedly placed the necklace back in the box and hid it in the secret compartment under the table. When everything was settled, she walked towards the door and opened it." Goo
Today is finally Everly’s most awaited concert. Although the performance will start at 6 pm, people were already lining up in the concert hall since early in the morning. It was an overwhelming crowd.Fans were bringing banners and light sticks to show support for their idol. Even if Everly was just new to the industry, she was highly anticipated by people. Not just because of her elegant and pretty face but also in her music.People loved all the songs she released. Even the debut song she sang during Manager Kim’s wedding, brought her millions of views on every social platform. With that, she was branded as the new pop sensation in the music industry.Backstage, Everly and her team were already starting their preparation. Manager Kim was so busy doing errands. She wanted to make sure that nothing wrong will happen for today’s concert. She doesn’t know why but she doesn’t want anything wrong to happen with her concert.“Iris! We will be starting in a few hours. Are you ready?” Manage
Afternoon came and Hans went ahead to his scheduled appointment. Jonathan messaged him that he was already on his way to the mall that’s why he bid farewell to Everly and went on his way.Everly’s concert hall and the mall are only a few blocks away so Hans managed to arrive there earlier than Jonathan. He waited at one of the coffee shops on the second floor of the mall.It didn’t take long for Jonathan to arrive. he ordered some drinks for himself as well and sat down on the seat in front of Hans. “So, why do you want us to meet here? Are you going to buy something?”Hans nodded, “Yes, I need your help with something.”“What is it?”“I’m planning to do a surprise proposal to Iris at her concert,” Hans said with pride. He had been thinking about it for so long already. There are already a lot of things that had happened between us.They had already been separated by death twice already and a lot of unrealistic things had already transpired in their story. They encountered problems an
For the last 2 weeks, Everly had been constantly busy. Most of the time, she would leave before the sun rises and comes back when the sun was down. Even if she and Hans stayed under the same roof, they rarely spent time together due to her busy schedule.Hans understood it clearly. After all, it’s Everly’s passion and he was fully supporting it. Currently, it’s the weekend and of course, Everly was not at home but instead at the concert hall since she had another rehearsal.Her first ever concert is about to happen in 3 days so her schedule is pretty hectic. She was even busier than Hans who was a doctor.Speaking of Hans, he was left alone in their villa. He doesn’t have any work schedule for this day. Aside from that, he has a plan later on that’s why he stayed home.Later at lunch, he will go to Everly’s workplace to send her some homemade lunch and then in the afternoon, he will be meeting Jonathan at the mall. He needed his help with something important. It’s a surprise he will b
Hans was so surprised to see Everly in his office at that moment. “Hey, I thought you were busy today with your concert?” He walked closer and took the cake into her hands.Everly smiled brightly at him and kissed him on the cheeks, “No matter how busy I am. You are always my priority. So, congratulations on your promotion Dr. Lee— I mean, Director Lee.”“Thank you! Thank you for coming. I really appreciate it.” Hans took her to the couch where Jonathan was looking at them with a deep frown on his face. “Guys, a little consideration please?… "Hans just laughed at him, “You have a wife on your own. I’m sure you two were more PDA than us.”Jonathan looked at him in disbelief. He turned his head towards Everly with a baffled look, “Iris, is this really my friend?… I’m sure the Hans I’ve known for so many years wouldn’t say such things.”Everly just chuckled lightly before answering, “I’m not quite sure myself. I also get surprised sometimes.”Jonathan shook his head and looked at Hans w
Months have passed by since Everly’s return and everything went as normal as possible. Director Jackson and Manager Kim had already come back from their honeymoon trip and went back to their respective works.Mary also decided to open a shop for her to pass the time. Her mother, Mrs. Watson was helping her in managing it. Jonathan was also in full support of his wife’s business. It was a cafe and Mary found a very promising location which is located near the hospital. Manager Kim helped her in acquiring that land.Currently, the shop was still under renovation and it will officially open its doors in a couple of weeks. On the other hand, Director Han, Jonathan’s father decided to resign from his work and wanted to enjoy the rest of his life leisurely.A lot of people disagreed with his sudden retirement but he was stubborn and firm in his decision. He said that he also wants to spend more time with his granddaughter and be with her as she grows up. After all, he had never gotten to do
The wedding reception has come to an end. Director Jackson and Manager Kim were now off on their honeymoon trip directly. They chose to spend their honeymoon abroad where they will be traveling from country to country to visit lots of places. They rarely spent a vacation due to the nature of their work that’s why President Song gave them this special wedding gift. A 3 weeks vacation and 5 plane tickets that they could use to whatever country they want to visit. He was very generous to them. At the airport, only Jonathan and Mary came. David went home right after the ceremony while Mrs. Watson went home as well together with Maverick. She brought with her baby Everly since it was already past her bedtime. “By the way, where is Hans?… Did he go home early? I didn’t see him right after he made his congratulatory speech.” Director Jackson confusedly, “Weren’t you together with him at the wedding hall?” Jonathan smirked, “He run away from who knows where dragging a woman with him.” “Ru
The hour that everyone was waiting for has finally come. All the guests, friends, and families were already gathered at the wedding hall, waiting for the groom and bride to make their entrance.The venue is located in a private garden owned by President Song, the CEO of the company where both Director Jackson and Manager Kim were working. The theme of the wedding is white and blue. White flowers with artificial blue-colored roses were elegantly arranged around the place.A large white grand piano was placed on the stage. Everyone was so excited about this day. Jonathan, David, and Hans were seated in the front row together with Mary, Mrs. Watson, and Maverick. All of them were dressed according to the theme. All of them were dressed in different shades of blue.When the wedding planner signaled, the wedding was about to begin. The singer was also being escorted to the stage. All eyes were on her, some were amused, excited, confused, and a lot more reactions. After all, she was a nobod
Jonathan booked a private hotel room at one of the most exclusive hotels in the city, The Ridgepole Hotel. It was not easy to book a room in this hotel since it needs membership. And there are a lot of criteria to be a member of this hotel.He was not the one who was a member of it but his father. Since it’s a special occasion for Director Jackson, he asks for his membership card to be able to book a room.As the time run so fast, it was already 8 in the evening. It’s the time he set for them to arrive. Jonathan has already arrived earlier than the rest of them. He ordered food and drinks for them.Not a moment later, Hans arrived as well. Then followed by Director Jackson. It was a very private and small celebration but it was enough for everyone.“So, how was the singer Manager Kim told you about? Did you meet her?” Jonathan asked as he served the canned beers he bought earlier.Director Jackson took one and opened it. He drank a mouthful before answering, “Yes. I met her earlier th
5 days had already passed since Hans got discharged from the hospital. Jonathan and Director Jackson scolded him so hard after he had woken up. Fortunately, nothing wrong came out from his test results so he got discharged immediately.After that short encounter he had with Everly, he didn’t know whether it was a dream or reality. When he woke up, it was like what he had experienced was a total dream. But it felt surreal and his memory of her was completely encrypted in his mind.He knew it wasn’t a dream. He had already talked with Everly to the other dimension. Hans even tried to ask Jonathan and Director Jackson if they knew someone named Everly but they did not know anyone.So, Hans didn’t push that topic and just let it be. Since it was Everly’s wish and sacrifice, he would respect it. It’s okay if she has been forgotten by everyone in the world, as long he still remembered her, it’s more than enough.“Dr. Lee, you have a call from from Dr. Hans.” his secretary said. Hans was cur
