Jeyah's POV

After my class in the afternoon, I fixed my things and bolted out from the room. I told Clarisse that I need to go ahead and couldn't go with the group mates this time because my brother texted me telling me that he already booked a ticket for us to take our flight to South Korea.

"Oh, so you'll be out of the country for a while bubs?", Clarisse spoke.

"Yes bubs, we need to be at my mom's wedding or else she would be upset. I already asked permission from our professor bubs, so I think there's no problem anymore. Anyway, I'll be out for only two days. Kindly tell our group mates bubs. Thank you", I said and then left, heading to where I parked my car.

In my mind, it's better to stay away from Darren even just for a while and divert my attention to other things so, it's easy for me to forget him. I know I can do it. I need to do it because the feelings I have for him, could never be reciprocated.

After I settled the steering wheel, I started the engine and pulled my way hom

    Darren's POV"I think we are lacking now!", I said as we gathered at the oval."Yes bubs, Jeyah is not around, she is now traveling to South Korea with her brother", Clarisse responded as he combed her hair with her hand."Oh no!", Eduard mumbled.I was just silent because I don't want to be obvious to my group mates. But deep inside my heart, I'm a little sad because she is not with us right now."So, shall we go now?', I asked.Everyone answered in chorus. So we get inside the car and as soon as we're settled in, we left the school campus, heading in our way to our favorite hangout place. I feel so empty while driving. I missed her already, but it's better to set aside these feelings because it's not gonna work out. She is still in love with Ryle and I don't want to be her second choice.We reached at the Ninyo Food Cuisine and as usual, we're at the table intended for us.

  • What About Love?   Chapter 17

    Jeyah's POV It was the wedding day of my mom and I could see how excited she was. She smiles a lot while putting on her wedding gown. She was like a teenager who just started having a puppy love while secretly giggling to the bone. Well, at the age of forty, I can say my mom still looks pretty and even looks younger than her age. At first, I don't want her to get married again because I was thinking she would neglect us when she already have another family. But later, I realized I need to consider her feelings of longing for a better half with whom she would spend the rest of her life. What matters to me now is her own happiness. And upon seeing how happy and excited she is now, makes me happy too. I was standing outside the room, while looking intently at the gay beauty artist who was doing my mom's makeup over. "Are you okay sweetie?", Andre suddenly approached me and encircled his hand around my waist. "Yeah, I'm fine boo.", I responded and smiled at him. "Have you met Hyungmin?

    Jeyah's POV The wedding celebration went over and all the guests left the reception hall. I took a quick glance at my brother, who was still talking to Hyungmin's cousin. Obviously, the woman was attracted to him. Well, no wonder, Andre was undeniably handsome and has a strong sex appeal. I smiled upon thinking that I have something to tease him, as soon as we returned home. After I talked to mom, Hyungmin approached me, and we had a few casual talks. We talked a lot of things about life, work and family. Until he asked me something personal. "Namja chingu isseo, Jeyah?", he asked in Korean language. I understand what does it mean to say. He was asking me if I already have a boyfriend. Andre was right, Hyungmin was interested in me but I don't have any romantic feelings for him except that I treat him as my brother. My mom is already married to his dad, so he is now my stepbrother and that's what matters most. Aside from that no more. "Jeyah?", Hyungmin spoke, when he noticed I w

    Darren's POV I woke up when my alarm clock was ringing. It was already eight in the morning. I remembered, I have to pick mom and my sisters at the airport at nine, so I hurriedly jumped out of bed and grabbed my towel. I was not expecting they would be coming here. Well, my family never missed my birthday ever since. Except for my dad, because he has been a busy person all his life. After fifteen minutes of hot shower, I went out from the bathroom and got dressed in my polo shirt and blue jeans. Suddenly, I got a call from messenger. I know it's coming from my group mates because I set a different notification for them. "Bubs, happy birthday!!!" everyone exclaimed in chorus. "Thank you!" All of them except Jeyah had joined the group call. I'm a little bit upset that she wasn't joining us. I had in mind, maybe she is still sleeping this time. "Bubs, you looked so fresh!", Angela spoke. "Uhm, I'll be going to the airport to pick mom and my sisters.", I responded casually. "Oh I

I still have an hour and half to prepare myself, but I feel like I'm not in the mood. Until I heard a soft knock on the door."Chum, can I come in?", it was Dolly's voice."Yes, come in, sweetheart."My sister entered and grinned at me. But she furrowed her brows, upon seeing that I wasn't ready yet."Chum, what's wrong?", she asked, and sat beside me on the bed."Nothing sweetheart. Uhm you look so pretty my dear sister!?", I exclaimed, trying to change the topic."I know it, right?", she smirked while intently looking straight into my eyes."Chum, you have to get dressed now, we are leaving in thirty minutes. C'mon, what's wrong with you? What's that sullen face? Are you not excited for your birthday party, chum?", she asked while raising one of her brows."C'mon! Take a quick shower now, and I'll prepare the best suit you'll gonna wear", Dolly

    Jeyah's POV All their attention was set on me as I came inside the party venue. I noticed my group mates sitting near the entrance door, probably waiting for my arrival. My gaze landed on Darren's eyes, and I was already melting. I feel so conscious when they were all looking at me as if I am the VIP of this occasion, especially when my friends approached me with a grinning face. "Jeyah, bubs! It's good to see you!", Clarisse exclaimed and hugged me. "We're glad you're here bubs, and we are now complete!", Angela softly chuckled and gave me a hug as well while others gave me a high five. "You look so pretty, bubs", Karen complimented. "Thank you!" "The birthday celebrant is there!", Angela spoke while looking at Darren's direction.

    Darren's POVI couldn't explain the happiness I felt when I saw Jeyah entering the hall. She is so pretty in her powdered blue maxi dress, and I couldn't help but stare at her for a long time. I wanted to approach her, but I was a little hesitant, and I don't know why. She went to my direction and greeted me, but my group mates were good at teasing when they said, Jeyah should hug me. I know she was not feeling comfortable, but she pretended she wasn't affected by it and just for a few seconds I felt her warm embrace. Then she handed to me her birthday gift. I wasn't expecting to receive anything from her because her presence alone is enough to complete my day.I made an excuse from my group mates and went back to where my family were seated. Then, I gave a 'go' signal to start the program."Who was that woman, chum?", Dolly asked me, softly thumping my arm."I guess, she is special to you. Was she the reason, why you were not in the good mood earlier?", Daphne butted in."Maybe, you

But Jeyah was still not around."Bubs, where's Jeyah?" I asked Clarrise, hoping she had some information."I don't know, bubs. I tried calling her, but she didn't answer," Clarrise replied, her eyes roaming around. "Maybe she is on her way, don't worry."Jeyah's absence made me uneasy. I giddily looked at my watch, and it was almost 7:30. The program would start at 8:00, but she was nowhere to be found. I took my cellphone and tried contacting her, but her phone just kept on ringing."Bridgette's here, but I think she hasn't noticed us yet," Eduard whispered."Just ignore her.

    Jeyah's POVIt was already noontime, and I already felt very hungry, especially that I hadn't taken a heavy breakfast. Right after my class in my major subject, I went to the library to borrow some books, but I enjoyed reading, and I did not notice it was already twelve o'clock."Bubs, my stomach is already rumbling. Let's have our lunch now," Clarrise whispered in my ear, which made me startled. I didn't notice her when she came in. She chuckled upon seeing my reaction, and all I could do was pinch the side of her torso."Ouch, sorry, bubs," she laughed even more.I smiled while glaring at her. Then, together we went out of the library. As usual, we headed towards the school cafeteria. I saw from afar our groupmates, who were already there, waving at us."Hi guys, sorry we're late," Clarrise said and pulled a chair."Hello, bubs, well, we thought you would not be taking your lunch," Angela spoke.I looked at Darren, who was just silent as if he was not in a good mood.

    Darren's POVI was awakened by the sound of my alarm clock. It was already seven in the morning, but I still felt sleepy. I still wanted to close my eyes, but I remembered Mom's and my sister's flight at nine. I felt a little groggy, but I needed to take them to the airport, so I hurriedly stood up and took a quick shower. I closed my eyes as the warm water touched my skin. But suddenly, I remembered Jewel's voice while she was singing my song request, "What About Love." Actually, her voice was a little familiar to me. And when I heard her talking on her livestream, I realized she sounded like Jeyah. "Oh, my God! Could it be possible that Jewel is Jeyah?" I uttered while I rinsed the soap off my body with water.But I was thinking, how could it be possible when Jeyah told me she was not good at singing? I shook my head and grunted. Perhaps I just missed Jeyah, so I was having this kind of thought. I took my towel and wrapped it around my waist as I stepped out of the bathroom.After

    Jeyah's POV No matter how much I wanted to close my eyes but I really could not sleep. Bridgette had ruined my mood. She only called me at this late hour just to tell me that she and Darren were already dating. The hell I care! I jumped out of bed and went to my music room. I wanted to be relieved from what I'm feeling right now, so I need the healing power of music. I was also thinking it's been a while since I haven't done live streaming. After setting up everything, I started my audio live stream. In just a matter of seconds, I already had plenty of viewers who were actually my avid fans and supporters. They told me in the chat how they missed my live stream. It was actually overwhelming on my part to receive such messages. I thought nobody would visit my live stream since I haven't done live streaming for two months already, Some of them asked me to reveal my face but I just told them it's not yet the right time. Well, in the first place, I was not doing a live stream for pop

    Jeyah's POV It was close to twelve midnight when the party ended. We were the only one left at the venue, since the visitors had already gone home. "Bubs, are you going to ride with us?", Clarisse asked me. "I'll drive her home, bubs", Darren butted in. "No, it's okay, bubs. I'll just take a taxi", I responded. He stared at me and again, I was lost. "I insist, bubs. Your brother entrusted you to me. Besides, it's almost midnight, and it's not good for you to be going home alone. I averted my gaze at him, because I felt like I was melting already. I felt all the butterflies in my stomach, and I was afraid I could not control my feelings anymore. "Okay, guys, let's say goodbye to Aunt Olive, Daphne and Dolly", Angela spoke as she walked towards the direction of Darren's family while we were following behind. "Auntie, we're going home now", Angela said and smiled at Darren's mom. "Mom, I'll drive Jeyah home. Uhm, I already called our driver mom", Darren said, then kissed his moth

    Jeyah's POV "Bubs! Where have you been? Are you okay?", Clarisse asked, as soon as I went back to the party venue. "Bubs, are you crying?", Angela queried while looking at me intently. "Darren was looking for you awhile ago, bubs. Have you seen each other?", Eduard spoke, while sipping a glass of wine. My other group mates were just silent while waiting for my answer. "Uhm, I went to the rooftop to catch some air and yes, Darren and I met there.", I responded trying to sound natural even if deep inside I am already hurting. A few minutes later, I saw Darren and Bridgette entering the hall. Bridgette just walked straight towards the table in the front and just smirked at me when she passed by at our table. I immediately averted my gaze when I noticed that Darren was staring at me. He doesn't even know how much I've tried to control myself not to burst out in tears. I just kept my eyes on them as Bridgette was a having a chitchat with his mom. After a while, Bridgette stood up and
