It was so fucking hard to be a kind person. Some people were just totally idiotic. And she found one such entitled person, during her work, that it was really hard to be kind to him.
They all arrived in Incheon to be swarmed by a bunch of people again. Now, Lucy had no earphones and heard screaming from miles away. But she was in a safe zone, so she didn't care for now.
Oh, how was she mistaken... Lucy kept talking to Lili's father and assured him, that the talks won't be a problem. When a group of two girls tried to sneak into the arriving zone and pushed her aside.
Lucy wasn't a sugary girl that would melt in the rain, but those girls carrying huge cameras were working out lifting them and getting stamina from chasing the idols because otherwise, Lucy couldn't explain how else she was just thrown away like a paper plane.
"Are you kidding me? Look where you are going!" she shouted out in English, pissed. Once was too much, twice was something on her nerves. If someone touches her again, she will definitely flip out.
"Ignore her. She is some old fat hag," one of the girls said, and snapped a picture of her. Lucy snapped her brain in Korean and laughed.
"Security, I was attacked!" she shouted out and screamed, making a scene. But in all honesty, Lucy was surprised that two security officers were there quickly. In Czechia, no one would probably hear her or maybe not even care.
"What's going on?" Lili's father looked frightened, he was afraid of trouble, so Lucy decided to calm down for his sake.
"I'm sorry, officers, but they snapped a picture of me after they hit me. I hate to see my face somewhere. Can you please make them delete it?" Lucy's pleading eyes and her 'broken' Korean she used made her look really pitiful.
And the officers actually went to really take care of the picture after nodding to Lucy. If the girls weren't bitches, they wouldn't miss the person that was leaving and could have snapped some pics. But to their misfortunes, just as the officers were going through their cameras, all members of C-LAND walked past them.
And just because of that, Lucy became a target for two big fansites, about which she thought were just too obsessive by their behavior.
Stepping aside, she let the group through and saw that two of them glanced at her and then at the two of the fan sites, and their eyes had formed crescents suggesting they were smiling. Lucy smiled at them and nodded.
Maybe they weren't that bad. Maybe fans weren't mirroring the group…
She totally regretted this statement. She even dared to think. And she regretted it the day of the negotiations.
Excited, she waited in the meeting room, with the lawyer and Lili's father, for the management team to come. The door opened and two guys went in. They had normal faces and normal body types, so Lucy was sure the idol sent only his manager to talk. But oh boy, how she was surprised when two impossibly long legs walked in, followed by perfect body and face proportions.
Yup, that was the idol. She was sure of it.
Lucy turned her phone around and stood up as soon as they walked, and Lili's father mirrored her. Then they sat and started all the talk surrounding conditions, pay, and everything.
When the manager and the company representative talked, everything went smoothly. But when the idol spoke up, Lucy wanted to kill.
"I think…" he said and everyone waited. Lucy looked at him confused. Lili's father watched Lucy waiting for translation and that stupid idiot just fall back, his hands crossed on his chest, and was smiling sweetly.
"You think…?" she asked, trying to figure him out, but he chuckled and turned to the manager.
"Don't you think so too?" The voice remained Lucy of someone, but she was sure it was because she heard his songs.
The manager looked at the idol, totally confused, and just nodded his head because he had no idea what was going on.
"So this is what should be done. I don't like this photographer but I will comply with him only if I can get my own and whatever I and at the same time we need to fit it into my because I'm busy as you might see so the shooting should be here in Korea and I want the like this and one of your company to overlook the photos I can't do it twice." He stopped spewing out the words one after another.
By the time he stopped, Lucy forgot what was the first thing he said. And her anger was rising. She looked at Lili's father and sighed.
"I'm sorry. Can I take a break?" she asked him. He nodded, stunned by what had just happened. She asked the manager the same thing, and he agreed too. For five minutes, they said. The idol was shaking his head.
At that moment, as a ray of light, her phone started vibrating. Stopped. And started once more. Four times. They let her go.
It was Lili. She totally forgot to tell her about the change of plants, but she sure loved this disturbance.
"Hey… Lili… I'm so sorry, but I got stuck in Korea. They had me interpret some business between a narcissistic stuck-up-in-his-ass wannabe-idol guy and your father's company. I will be back soon though," she said as soon as she was out of the room. Lili groaned.
Lucy looked around and saw a vending machine at the end of the corridor. She went there and bought five bottles of drinks. Water for everyone.
"So, you wanna say that I have to enjoy myself alone?" Lucy chuckled as if it was that hard to busy yourself on a con.
"Yeah, I'm afraid you have to. Maybe you can write to Adam. He loved to talk to you about games and anime in college. And he lives and works in Brno for what I know." She made a teasing remark because she knew her feelings towards Adam. Lili hissed.
"Not a chance, you know. He is now Mr. Doctor. And I'm afraid he always studied games the night before he saw me. Because he was like an encyclopedia. No fun at all." Lucy knew Lei was coming with her tomorrow, so Lili had to just put up with being alone today. But it shouldn't be that hard for her because she knew few people there.
"I'm sorry. You have to put up with him or be alone. Or maybe you will meet someone else you know. I have to go. This little idiot is making it hard for me again. He is deliberately saying things faster and leaves out some parts. I'm gonna behead him soon." Lili laughed, but Lucy wanted to kill. Nightmare. They hung up and Lucy, with five bottles of water, stopped before the door. She took a breath and put a smile on her face, ready to fight.
