Chapter 22

STAGE

Sulli fixed her things. Sohyun will pick her up to go together to the salon. Kevin and Minho left after Sulli promised to Kevin that she will see him later tonight at the party.  Sulli reached her bag from the top of her closet when a bag dropped.

Papers and envelopes again…Unnie’s things.

Sulli fixed them all together…and then she saw a picture…it looks a bit old. Ji Woo still looks young in the picture…

“She was still in high school here… Hmm…who are these 2 boys?” thought Sulli

The first guy looks cute, but mysterious. He doesn’t smile in the picture. The smiling other guy looks cute…or handsome might be a better term..he doesn’t look much like a Korean…and he’s familiar…where did she see the boy before?

“Unnie, I’m here!” called out Sohyun

Sulli put the picture in her bag and then left for the salon.

-----------------------------

Sulli just stared at herself in the Mirror, she has never worn a gown before…and she has never had make up this nice too.

“Woahhh…you look really good Unnie.” said Sohyun

“Thank you…” Sulli is breathless…is that really her?

Sohyun is totally shocked…Sulli has a pretty face…but wow can she transform!

Tsk…it seems her brother will totally fall once he sees Sulli…or maybe instantly realize it.

Sulli and Sohyun went to the party venue and a lot of photographers took photos of the 2 together.

Later Sulli saw Kevin and Minho.

Minho felt like his feet are glued to the ground…Wow…Sulli…

“You look…beautiful.” Said Minho

Sulli can’t help but blush.

“Umm…thank you…Sohyun is a big help.” Said Sulli

Sohyun laughed “I did nothing, I was just sitting there.”

“Noona, you are pretty. Mommy…so beautiful” said Kevin

“Thank you Kevin!” Sulli hugged Kevin tight.

Krystal saw the scene from afar.

“Is that really Sulli?” thought Krystal. Oh no…why does she need to be here looking like…that.

GD saw Sulli and immediately went to her.

“Hey beautiful.” Said GD

“Hey GD.” Said Sulli

“Oppa, you should be with CL Unnie.” Said Sohyun teasing

“Stop it Sohyun, you know I much prefer being with this beautiful woman than…there.” Said GD

“I prefer if you’re with CL than here.” thought Minho

Ralph approached Minho

“Sir, the program is about to start, we need you on stage now.” Said Ralph

-------------------

Minho saw Krystal by the stage…he needs to talk to her soon. He needs to let her know the truth...he will be unfair to her if he doesn’t.

Minho went on stage. And then everything went dark. And suddenly a picture flashed on the screen.

It’s a picture of Minho playing with Kevin and Sulli in the picnic. Why is that picture there? Was that what the paparazzi took that day?

And then another picture appeared.

Oh no…

It’s a picture of Minho and Sulli kissing in the park…

“Those paparazzi are not gonna get away with this!” Minho is infuriated.

Sulli felt her knees weak…no…why is this showing up?

Krystal felt like all her blood went to her head. What is this?!

“Mommy and Daddy Ajussi kiss.” Said Kevin happily.

Sohyun closed her eyes at the bomb that is exploding in front of her.

Emma went to the microphone stand.

“Hi Everyone, To begin this celebration let me first clarify some things. The picture you are seeing reached me and someone has threatened to reveal them. I wanted to act proactively and so this is to make sure that TC will not be threatened.” Said Emma

Everyone is talking at the same time. What is this picture about? Who is the woman TC’s VP is kissing?!

“The woman in the picture is Choi Sulli. And she’s here in the party. Can you come on stage?” said Emma

What?! Minho doesn’t like what is happening.

Sulli’s knees are trembling as she went up the stage.

“This woman is the one in the picture. You may question why they would kiss and I am here to clarify it. That kiss is merely to make an image to the kid that there is a complete family. As you well know, my husband left a kid and Miss Choi was taking care of him. My honorable son took it to himself to take care of the child. To show the kid that they have a family, that kiss happened.” Said Emma

“Ok…that was a good explanation. Let it end now please.” Thought Sohyun

“Unfortunately, it doesn’t stop there.” Said Emma

Minho’s blood is boiling, what does his mother want to hap
