Jae Joong's drunk?....Why is he hugging me?

"Whew, you always settle me down,"Jae Joong whispered into my ears and hold me tighter.

"H-hold on, Jae Joong! Are you drunk?" I struggle free but he was way too strong  for me.

If this got photographed again....

"Yea, I'm drunk, but that's not what's got me doing this.'

"Why are you taking such liberties?"

He pushed me away slightly from his body and looked at me," What liberties?"

"You said I wasnt your type!!"

"Look, that was .... You think I could speak my heart in front of my brother and Marsha?"

Is he saying, that wasnt how he really felt?

"Then what about Hyuna? Why dont you go to her instead?"

I pushed myself away from him with all my strength and walks away.

But he caught my arm and turn me over and hugs me again.

I struggled to break free but he wont let me go until I finally relented and stopped. No point struggling against something that you cant win on.

"I feel better upon seeing your face. Let's go hit a club or something."

He tugged my arm like usual.

Oh, how I missed his touch.

'Hey, hold on..."

"I havent listened to any music in a while. C'mon"

"You're being forceful again..." I protest but he ignores me and tugged me again and left the hotel.

Wow, so many foreigners.....

Jae Joong brought me to a large, gorgeous club.

Come to think of it, the last date, he was saying he'd go all the way up to but when we stopped in front of one, we never went in.

"Come right in..."the usher said.

"Do you come here often?" I asked.

"Mm, when I have the time."

We were shown to the velvet VIP seating inside.

"Are you hungry? Want aanything to eat?"

"Its pretty late. I've already had dinner so I'm full."

"Yeah? Thenn get some chocolate or something... You should have an appetite for chocolate right?"

'Sure, if its chocolate."

"Seperate stomach for that huh?"he teases.

"I have seperate stomachs for sweets,sushi and grilled meats."

"How many seperate stomachs do you have?"

I pouted,"I am really stuffed."

He smiles. "Then come and dance with me a little."

"What? But I-I cant dance."

"Just play along."

"I cant do that...Ack!"

Jae Joong took my hand and led me to the crowded dance floor.

"Wh-what should I do?"

"Just watch me and follow my lead."

Well I guess Jae Joong is used to dancing... Boy, he really draws attention...

Its like he's got this overwhelming aura about him.

"You're really good at this"

"Its all in the motor reflexes. Wait, you've never seen me dance before?"

"I have! You were the lead in a musial I saw on TV..."

Just then, someone bumped into me from behind!

"Ack!"

Jae Joong grabbed my arm tightly.

"You're so slow!"

"But I had no control over that!"

I batted Jae Joong's shoulder lightly without thinking.

Squeeze.

Jae Joong grabbed that hand...

'Um....'

Is he getting carried away?

"Excuse me!" a woman interrupted us.

Whoa! Th-that startled me. Who is this person?

"Care for some tequila?"

She's offering it to everyone on the floor.. Is she a sample-giver?

"Hey, arent you Kim Jae Joong?"

Jae Joong looked at her without saying a word.

Ohh, he's ignoring her?

"Jae Joong..you should answer her,' I whispered.

"Why should I have a talk with another woman when I'm with you?"

'Oh really huh...You looked like you enjoyed yourself plenty with Hyuna..."

He grinned. "What are you jealous? I'm flattered."

"No!"

The woman was undettered. "Oooh, you really Kim Jae Joong arent you? Do you really want to be out in the open like this? I could show you a place where no one would see us. That is, if you went with me."

What? Is she propositioning Jae Joong?

'If it makes you jealous, I dont mind talking to other girls."He grins.

"Oh please, cut it out with that twisted communication!"

But in truth, I dont want to see that.. It hurts just by watching him chatting with Hyuna.

"Huh? What's your problem? What a buzzkill...."

The woman went off with that parting shot.

I look at him. "Are you okay with that?"

"Huh? If I bothered with her, I'd never get left alone. Besides, I meant it when I said I dont want to talk to other women around you. Its a waste of time."

"Do you really mean that?"

"What, do you doubt me?"

"I just mean..." Its like he's just been putting on an act up till now...

"I dont want to deal with more people like that one. Lets get back to the VIP room."

We bumped into a familiar face..."Oh,

Is that Joongie I see?" Zelo said.

"Zelo!" I said happily.

"Ah and Jiyoon too."

"Why do I have to deal with you after coming all this way?"

"You're still a s sour as ever. What are the two of you doing here, for that matter? Could it be.... that ...you''re both going out together?"

"What? No, not at..."

"Its none of your business kid!"

He's not denying it?

"Uh huh,"Zelo said with a smile.

"Jiyoon, it went just like I said it would when we first met, didnt it?"

"What?"

"That I would seize your future."

Come to think of it, its all thanks to the card that Zelo gave me. That led to everything, even me being with Jae Joong like this now...

"What do you mean, seizing your future?" Jae Joong asked Zelo, looking unhappy with his friend.

"Oh well, you see...." I teird to explain but Zelo cuts me off."

"Dont worry about it, see you later. You two enjoy yourselves."

Zelo waved blithely and departed.

"Zelo's such a strange boy..." I said.

"What was that? Dont talk to other guys in front of me!"

"Oh come on, its only Zelo for goodness sake. Can yougive a little thought before saying such things?"

"What else would I say but what I really mean?"

Jae Joong is really drunk...We da

nced a wee bit more then returned to our seating."

"Oh Jae Joong, what's that paper bag on the sofa?"

"Huh?"

Did someone forget it and leave it here? It wasnt there when we stepped out, was it?

"Wait, dont touch it!" 

"What?Why?"

Jae Joong held my hand back and peered inside the bag.

"For real?" he said in shock.

"Jae Joong?"

What's wrong? He's gotten a little pale?

"Jae Joong...."

"Its ,"he told me.

"What?"

Rustle.

My voice and the rest of the floor went silent at around the same time.

"Police! Nobody move!"

"Nghhh," Jae Joong made a sound, his face look irrate.

Jae Joong let go of the paper bag and promptly shoved me away.

"Ow! What's the big idea?!"

"Police! Dont move!"

"Back off Jiyoon!"

????

"What" we heard a guest said.

"What's going on?"

"We just received a tip that a deal was taking place here. Everyone, stay right where you are!"

Wh-whats this about?"

One of the policemen noticed us.

"You're Kim Jae Joong, yes?"

Jae Joong nodded."We've also gotten a tip about you. Could I ask you to come with us?"

"Wait, hold on! He hasnt done anything...!"

"Then what do you call this?"

Oh no, the paper bag...

"I'll go. If I dont, it'll just cast suspicion on me."

"Jae Joong, wait!"

He smiles at me."Dont worry silly. I'll be fine."

'But...!"

"There is no way I'd turn positive on a drug test. I'll be released in no time."

I cried ..."Jae Joong.."

Jae Joong left the club with both of his arms held by the police.

"Wow, Kim Jae Joong did that?"

"For real? ?'

What should I do about the police? I should call someone.. Yeah, Hyun Joong might be able to handle this!

I pulled out my cell phone and brought up Hyun Joong's number.

My hands are shaking.

Bring....

"Hello, Jiyoon?"

"Hyun Joong...Its Jae Joong...Jae Joong's been...."

I broke down in tears...

"Jiyoon, calm down.. What happened to my brother?"

"Jiyoon...."

It was all I could manage to fill Hyun Joong in on the situiation over my own sobbing.

Hyun Joong came running with my call and gave me a ride home.

After I calmed down, I on the TV.

"Late  this evening at 12;05 am, the actor Kim Jae Joong was brought in from a bar in Gangnam area by the police on suspicion of possession of ."

Beep.

Nicole tuns off the TV.

"Geez, Jae Joong's all over the news on every station..."

"Ugh...Nicole...Nicole..What should I do? Jae Joong's being..'

"Jiyoon, there there...Dont cry...Its okay. Jae Joong will be back before you know it."

But before the night was thru, there arose a bustle around our apartment.

"Jiyoon..The media's coming in force out there."

"What?"

Nicole and I cracked open a window curtain and peeked outside.

"You werent kidding..."I said.

There were around ten camera and reporter crew gathered outside the apartment.

"You must have been seen with him Jiyoon.And you've already been shown on TV plenty with the close coverage you've been doing.."

Wh- what do I do? If I stay here, it'll cause trouble for Nicole and other residents...

But I 've got nowhere to go....

Ring.......

"Hello Hyun Joong?"

"Jiyoon, I've sent a car to come and pick you up. Does your apartment have a back entrance?'

"Yes, its an emergency exit..."

"Then wait out there in ten minutes. Pack light okay?"

"All right."

Why? Why did things come to be this way?

Ten minutes later, I waited out where he told me to and a black car quitely stopped nearby.

Hyun Joong came out of the car,"Jiyoon."

"Hyun Joong, I'm so glad you came," I said gratefully.

"Quick. You dont wanna be seen."

"I'm so sorry for all the trouble..."

"Dont be! I should be the one apologizing for Jae Joong...Still he's absolutely not the kind of person to do ."

"Of course he isnt!"

"But in the entertainment industry, you're always bound to incite a grudge or two..."

"Are you saying that someone set him up?"

"I think its pretty likely. For the time being, Jiyoon..Go to Hannam-dong. The media wont find you there. I have a villa there.Its a small place but its pretty cozy."

"Hannam-dong huh...All right, I guess I dont have much choice."

"Its a bit of an inconvenience. but there will also be people to see to your everyday needs."

I feel bad to inconvenince Hyun Joong with my problems. "I'm so sorry that you have to go to so much trouble."

"Not at all, I'm just glad that you called me coz that let me move in advance of the rest of the media, the way I'm doing now."

I called up the chief editor in the car and explained the situation.

"All right. You took the copy text data with you right? Send it from the house tomorrow. And just rest for now. I'm sure you've had a rough time."

"I'm so sorry for all the trouble."

"Dont worry about it. Its not your fault. Once Jae Joong get released, we'll arrange a special feature to give the real story so yopu can take charge of that."

The chief editor believes in Jae Joong too....

With everyone's warm treatment, I was able to recompose my emotions a little....
