They were still glaring hard at each other when Robin suddenly felt a sharp pain on his knee.
"Ouch!" He releases Addison immediately hugging his right knee which had just been kicked by her.
"What the hell!" He gnashed.
"Stay away from me!" Addison snapped at him before facing Finn.
"Let's go Finn" She took his hand leaving with him to the van.
"Is she nuts? Dammit!!" Bin scrowl rubbing his knee. She really kicked it hard.
"Where is Ash and Bin?" Manager Jia asked the moment they got into the Van.
Addison didn't respond and just went to the extreme end sitting with a pissed expression on.
"Ash left first and Bin is over there. He brought his Motorcycle" Finn replied while Jia nodded igniting the engine.
"Let's hit the road then" She drove out of the car garage with neither Finn nor Addison uttering a word to each other.
STARR BOYZ' APARTMENT.
Ever since they got back home, Addison had been sitting by the pool staring into space. Millions of thoughts running through her mind also. She couldn't understand why she's so mad at Bin even though he did nothing really wrong. She felt guilty for treating him like that earlier. She couldn't decipher why she had to do that to him. Earlier at the studio also, she felt bad she couldn't do a thing...she could tell the PM was disappointed in her. Just why can't she get anything right? It's frustrating.
"Ugh!" She released a heavy sigh palming her face.
"You kept sighing for the whole day..." She heard a voice behind and jerk her head to the direction it came from.
"Finn..." She called releasing a slow sigh.
Finn walked closer with his hands pocketed.
"Stand up. You shouldn't be doing this. You should be practicing not sighing"
"I just need some time to think" she mumbled
"Then what? I think the only thing you should be thinking about right now is your debut and nothing else"
"I just..." She sighs again.
"What's with you and Bin?" He suddenly asked.
"Uh? It's...it's nothing" she replied almost immediately. Finn eyed her suspiciously.
"Do you want me to help you with the song?"
"Help me?"
"You...you're lacking the right flavor to make the song complete"
"Right flavor?"
"Listen...for you to do something in life. What do you think is the most important thing to acquire first?"
"Hard work?"
"You and Bin are just the same. You ignored the most important ingredient and just focus on only the primary ones. What's the use of working hard when you can't even impact?"
"Impact?"
"Let's say you wanna make a meal...you followed the right recipe and put a lot of effort on it. But at the end of everything it came out tasteless that even you can't eat it what will you do with that kind of meal?"
"I'll probably toss it away"
"That's exactly what happened to you earlier at the studio today. Your song was completely tasteless that one wouldn't think twice before tossing it away"
"What?"
"Same thing is happening to Robin...you two are failing to use the right ingredient. You're blind to it and that's making your efforts tasteless" Finn said while she kept quiet for a while.
"Then...what am I to do?"
"Discover the right ingredient to fervour the taste of the meal. Only that way, you'll like the meal and others will do as well"
"What's the right ingredient, can you tell me?"
"No...that's is left for you two to find out. Remember the recipe is perfect only the ingredient is missing."
She sighs.
"This is harder than I thought"
"Think about it" Finn turns leaving and Addison instantaneously stood up.
"Finn wait i_Ohhh!!!" She unfortunately slipped on the wet floor fell inside the pool.
Finn looked back at the sound of the sudden heavy splash.
"Newbie!!" He walked over to the pool squatting before it. Addison emerged from the pool breathing heavily. Her already wet hair sticked to her face so as the top she was wearing.
"Hey you okay?" Finn asked concerned.
She nodded and made to get out but on sighting her body, she gasped and quickly dipped herself back into the pool. Only her head sticking out.
"Sh*t!" She muttered beneath her breathe. Her top was transparent making her bind visible. There is no way she can get out of the water like that. She'll totally be bursted.
"What's wrong?" Finn raised a brow.
"Uhhh....nothing. I just love the water" She grinned like a loon.
"What?"
"It's nice...I think I'd love to stay like this for a while"
"Are you sure about that?" Finn gave her a weird look.
"Don't worry about me and just go do your thing Finn. I think I'm gonna stay a while here" She faked a smile.
"You'll get a cold"
"I won't"
"I think you would"
"I promise I won't...you can really go. I'll be fine Finn...don't worry about me. I'm perfect" She said while Finn nodded.
"If you say so" He stood up, Addison smiles at him.
"You can go...don't worry" She said again.
"Alright..." He turns leaving while Addison heaved a breathe of relief.
Finn looked back and gave her one last look and she smiles at him.
He nodded and face forward, he chuckled softly to himself and he left shaking his head as well.
"I'm screwed..." Addison deadpan.
PEACE HOSPITAL
A guy can be seen laying unconscious on the bed. He had an oxygen mask on and a girl sat beside him weeping slowly. She was wiping his body with a wet towel cleaning her tears at interval also.
"Brother...when are you waking up? You're sleeping for too long. You promised me you'll wake up soon so why aren't you getting up?" She sniffs, dropped the towel and intertwined his fingers with hers.
"I lost the hair band. You must be angry at me. So stand up and scold me as you always do. I'll let you do that so please...wake up now for me....brother" She sobs silently bringing his intertwined hand to her face.
"I miss you a lot...it's so hard for me. Please come back to me..." She continue sobbing.
SEA SHORE.
Ash sat by a rock throwing pebbles into the water in front.
A bottle of drink was by his side, his hair was disheveled which shows he has ran his fingers through it many times.
He heaves a heavy sigh as he watches the sun set down slowly.
He smiles, then slowly the smile became wider and from there it turns into a full fledged laughter.
As he laughs, ball of tears slowly slipped down his cheeks. He didn't bother wiping them off and just let it rolled down. He took the bottle of alcohol beside him and took a heavy swig before throwing the bottle inside the water also.
He propped his knees up, hugging it to himself, and he buried his face in it, by this time his laughter has turned completely into a low intermittent sob. Silently he weeps with the breeze blowing softly at him.
Addison hugged herself in the pool. She elongated her neck to check if anyone is in sight but then saw Finn walking around the living room.
"Sh*t what do I do now?" She muttered sighing.
"Robin...." She pouted wishing he'll just appeared to save her...as he always do.
"Are you planning on sleeping there overnight?" She heard Finn's voice and snapped her head back at him.
"Finn?" She called and he checked the time on his wristwatch.
"You've been in there for over twenty minutes now. I think you've played enough. Come out now" He said but she shook her head.
"I...I can't!" Finn sighs and walks closer to her.
In his hands was two towels.
"Here" He extended one of the towels to her. Her face lightened up instantly she saw it. She stretches her hand to take it but he retracts the towel from her. She raised a brow.
He gave her a cunning face and she pouted.
"Please..." She cooled and he smiles before giving her the towel. Addison covers herself with the towel though part of it got wet. Finn stretches his hand forward to her and she took it getting out of the pool. Water streaming down her entire body.
She clung the towel tightly to her body making sure he can't see her transparent top.
Finn covers her hair with the other towel drying her hair with it. She smiles looking up at him as he did this.
"Go change I'll make some hot tea for you" He said and she nodded.
"Thank you" She smiles before walking away from him, her body dipping water as she rushes upstairs.
Finn watch her leaves with his hands dipped inside his pocket.
"Silly..." He finds himself smiling widely before walking towards the kitchen.
Opening the door, she gasp loudly as she bumped into Bin who turns out to be heading out at that moment.
"Ro...ro...bin?" She shuttered blinking her eyes repeatedly in shock.
Robin look at her from head to toe and frowns.
"Did you get knocked by a pool of rain?" He asked.
"Uh? Ohh....I fell...inside the pool" She shudder.
"Ex..cuse..." She walks away from him slowly while he follows.
"What was that earlier?" He inquired.
"What?"
"Earlier at the car garage"
"Ahh...that...sorry I wasn't in my right state of mind then. Are you okay?" She asked and he folded his arms sighing.
"What's going on between you and Finn?"
"Nothing" She replied quickly taking some clothes from her luggage.
She looks at him and gulps.
"What?" He questioned.
"Uh...nothing..." She walks towards the bathroom while he follows.
"I told you we need to talk"
Addison turns back to him raising a brow.
"Are you gonna follow me to the bathroom?"
"I can't?"
"I have to change" She shows him the clothes in her hand. He got the message and retract his steps.
Addison turns back and opens the bathroom door.
"Don't sneak up on me" She warns and entered the bathroom locking the door.
"That brat..." Robin scoffs.
Coming out of the bathroom, she met Robin sitting on the bed with his leg crossed.
"We need to talk" He says on sighting her.
"Can we do that later? Finn is waiting for me downstairs" She replied, his brow knitted.
"Well then let him wait...I need to talk to you" He stood facing her.
Addison sighs.
"You don't need to say anything...I already get what's going on"
"What do you mean?"
"About you and Viola...see I'm totally cool with her personating to be me. Since I have a gain in
