"Uhm…" Vin couldn't speak about the feeling he had at that time. "Uh, I'm going out. I have some work. You continue." The manager said and left without looking back in a hurry. "Tell us, Tae-hee!" Sam asked him to answer their question.
"Okay okay, No need to scream my name like that." Vin calmed him down because he doesn't like when people scream his real name other than his stage name with an angry tone, it makes him more anxious and feels more personal than professional. "I-I… don't know why I kissed her like that…" He was confused but he managed to tell them his feeling. "What do you mean you don't know?" J.J. looked at him raising an eyebrow at him.
"Let me finish- Reason one is… her lips felt soft when she kissed me… and the reason two is…" He stopped there thinking about what is he going to say or how can he make it sound more logical. "I felt like if I don't kiss her then... I will regret it my whole life." He finally answered them with everything he had to say.
They all just looked at him in disbelief. K.R. and Joy sighed not knowing what to say. "Then why are you eager to find her now?" Sam asked him because he knew something was up with him. "Right! If you kissed her then why do you want her to say sorry to you?" J.J. got curious when he thought about it too with everyone else. "Uhh… I-" Vin was going to answer them but was cut off by K.R. "You want to meet her again, don't you?" Everyone realized the intentions behind Vin's doing, he just blushed harder turning his cheeks light pink.
Time: 08:50 p.m.
Place: Henkai Street
It was dark outside but Kaashi and Tiara still decided to follow their plan to go out to have dinner in a restaurant. They clicked pictures and ate dinner peacefully because Kaashi was on a video call with her boyfriend making Tiara feel all alone. Still, there were moments when her boyfriend talked to Tiara between their talks. They finished their dinner and went straight to the hotel room.
Time: 10:13 p.m.
Place: Tiara and Kaashi's hotel room / Vin Costel Hotel
Tiara jumped on the bed just after a few seconds they reached the room while Kaashi went to the bathroom to wash her up before going to bed. Tiara started to scroll through reels again but then she wondered 'At least, I should know something about the person I kissed, right?'
She opened the search engine on her phone and then thought again 'What was his name? Vic? Val?' She sighed and pressured her brain more to remember what was his name. 'Ahh, Vin!' She searched him up. A search page came up with his information. 'He looks kind of different in pictures… s*xier and perfect… hmm…' She scrolled a little bit down. 'Wait what? Why does it say that his name is Min Tae-hee?' Her eyes got smaller staring at the screen and reading everything. 'Oh... Vin is his stage name… lol. It's the first time I heard that singers use a different stage name for their career.' She internally chuckled. 'Well, That's something new.
Kaashi came out of the bathroom rubbing her hair with the towel then threw the towel at the table while walking towards her phone. She lay beside Tiara and started rolling through the news feed. Suddenly, She shoved her phone in front of Tiara's face but she wasn't able to understand a thing on the screen of her friend's phone. She blinked her eyes a few times and then her expression turned into horror. The news said 'TR-X is finding Vin's kissing girl and have found a few things about her already.'
'Vin's kissing girl is expected to say sorry to their whole fandom and the idols.'
'Will TR-X find this faceless kissing girl?'
Tiara wanted to laugh at the so-called nickname that they gave her but cry about her bad situation. "Well, It's a good thing we are going back tomorrow." Kaasi reassured her. Tiara was unable to say anything and Kaashi pulled her phone back to herself making Tiara focus on her own phone's screen and yet another shock hit her. Her phone was still showing the information about Vin and it said 'Vin has won the most handsome man in the world 3 times.' At that moment Tiara knew she messed up because if he has won that title that means he is popular all over the world with a huge fan following.
"You!! You lied to me, B*tch!" Tiara screamed at Kaashi making her jump with terror. "W-What…?" Kaashi acted innocently. "You told me that they aren't that famous!" She growled. "Dude, Don't tell me you didn't notice the people in front of their concert hall. There were around 4-5 million people that day." Kaashi raised her eyebrow doubting her ability to look around her surroundings.
"I- But you told me." She paused for a second. "Buy hey! Okay, I didn't know about their popularity but you did then why would you ask me to kiss him!!?" She growled at her, close enough to grab her friend's neck.
"Well, I told you to hide your face for a reason, you know? Plus, You know I always want fun. The consequence doesn't matter. And deep inside I wanted you to have a better taste in men looking at your history for choosing one for yourself, I thought kissing him will make you realize that your standards should be high." Kaashi explained her reason and tried to make sense of it. "But still! You could ask me to kiss anyone but why him!?" Tiara tried to argue with her. "Well, As I said I wanted fun and-" She started to explain again but got cut off by Tiara, "Your fun can f*ck up my whole life right now!!" Tiara yelled and They both took a deep breath.
"Chill, We are leaving this country tomorrow. They won't be able to find you and you can even be proud that you have kissed a star idol." Kaashi grinned. "Aaeeennn" A weird sound came out of Tiara's mouth and she threw herself on the bed again covering her face with a pillow in irritation and regret.
Time & date: 05:34 A.m. 17/May/2023
Place: Aglos's scientific research lab
There were 8 people in the examination room and all of them were staring at the same thing which was the person inside the glass room. He was screaming desperately for something, thinner than before, his red veins were blue-green now. He was hitting the glass wall with all his strength which was making a loud sound. 2 of those people outside of the glass room had guns on them wearing a different uniform than the scientists there.
The scientists were writing something on their reports ignoring the human's scream, or was it a human anymore? Those guards started talking to each other as if nothing was new or uncommon. Soon the blood started to come from the undead's hand inside the glass room and the glass had cracks on it. Another hit from the undead and the glass was broken and shattered on the ground, Everyone stood up from their seats and the guards pulled out their guns from their pockets.
"Gaahh!!!" It screamed at the top of its lungs and run towards one of the scientists who was nearest and it was too fast for the guards to shoot him in time. The moment he shoot it was too late because its teeth were already deep inside the scientist's flesh while he was screaming filled with pain and others were panicking thinking about what to do. At last, One of the scientists decided to pull it away from the one in pain but it turned back to who came to the rescue and bit him too while the first scientist was wincing in pain and then fell down on the floor facing down.
The moment one of the guards shot at the undead, the first scientist raised his arms up, stretching his whole body in a weird way, within a few seconds the scientist's skin became ash-grey, red veins, boiling blood, and grey eyes. He jumped and stood up making everyone else shiver in terror and struggling to move or think straight.
"What are you thinking? Shoot them!" One of them screamed at the guards in an ordering tone with fear in his tone but both of the guards shivered and hesitated to shoot the scientists. "They are not human or scientists anymore! It's a zombie!" Another one screamed in a demanding voice. "Shoot at them!!" Yet again the first screaming voice came but this time the scientist zombie ran towards him and the other scientist was now turned into a zombie as well, the one who came to rescue the first one.
Time: 02:38 p.m.
Place: Tiara and Kaashi's hotel room / Vin Costel Hotel
"Did you pack everything? Our flight is in less than 3 hours." Kaashi asked Tiara while she packed her own things in her bag. "I never unpacked my things nor I bought a lot of things like you." Tiara answered her looking at her phone. "Yeah yeah, lazy and smart*ss." Kaashi rolled her eyes. A sudden harsh knock came at the door. "Ahh, Who it can be." Tiara sighed. "Can you go and check out who's it?" Kaashi raised her eyebrows at her. "Why me?" She got irritated. A knock came again through the door it was harsher than before. "Ugh, okay okay! Coming!" There was irritation in her voice, she was lazy enough to even go towards the door and answer it.
She opened the door and saw three men standing in front of her glaring at her, they were taller than normal men and Tiara was looking like a child in front of them. "Wh-Who are you?" She asked stuttering. "Are you Tiara Sharma?" The man standing in the middle asked her in a cold voice. "I-uhmm… Wh-why are you asking?" She started to shiver while Kaashi was now concerned and came towards the door as well.
"We are from Strive agency. We are here for Tiara who kissed one of our top idols. Vin" They answered her. Tiara stepped back terrified, gulping down, sweat forming on her forehead while Kaashi approach her waist trying to calm her down. "We don't know her." Kaashi lied. "Don't lie to us." The man at the right accused Kaashi of lying.
"Don't try to fool us because we have seen her photo." The person at the center spoke again. "Sketch." The one at left said between coughs. Tiara's eyes widened at the realization of what is going on and wondered what will happen now. "We request you to come with us." The one in the middle requested Tiara looking straight into her eyes which were screaming terror.
"I-I…" Tiara didn't know what to say. "You will have to come with us or else we will have to force you or worst, do a police complaint about you." The one at the right said in a demanding and angry voice making Tiara shiver more than before. "I…" She took a deep breath and looked at Kaashi. "Can you come with me?" She asked pleading her. "No… I- I am scared…" Kaashi said and left her alone.
"Okay, then you will have to go with us alone, Miss." The one at the left said. "I will wait for you at the airport. Don't worry, I know they can't get hard on you as Vin kissed you back for a longer time than you. I will take your suitcase with me as well." Kaashi whispered in her ears.
One of the men grabbed her wrist and pulled her outside of the room. "Hey hey! Wait, Let me grab my backpack." She stopped him and ran towards her backpack but she stopped and looked at the drone at the table, She took it and put it in her bag as well. "Why are you taking it?" Kaashi was confused. "I- Maybe, I will be free before 2 hours and get time to try it out." She quickly went to the men standing at the door.
"I will go with you but just don't touch me, okay?" She warned them in a low voice. "Okay, As long as you don't try to run away." replied the men in the middle.
