Chapter 1 

*bring bring bring* a blackberry ringing. Violet sleeply reached it and saw on the search “lily”. With eyes half closed she answered ‘anyyeong’, ‘violet, you’re late again! Comeon! We have to settle your book orders today’ a distant sound seem to be echoing in violet’s mind

*snap!* eyes wide open violet was fully awake now, ‘arasho, 1hour and I’ll be there’. Lily snorts ‘yes boss’. Violet smiles, her eyes were staring at her taeyang’s poster on the ceiling ‘morning love’ she wispers

Stretching her arms she slowly got off her white bed, staring at the pink pillows and comforters she felt the urge to dive in again. This wonderful,mystical world of hers

‘oh no violet,no you don’t!, gotta work’.  Violet is living in a one bedroom apartment, most of the furnitures were white and she splash them with vibrant colours, pink, green, purple, grey, black if u consider it vibrant. Her house was one of those ikea replica. A room including a living area in it, a kitchen and a toilet. For a 23 year old girl who own her dream book store or she rather call it her novels dorm she was content enough. Her parents passed away where she was two and she inherited a little piece of what her parent’s own. The rest her uncle took and she did not really mind as she was happy enough for now.

She shook her head and moved to the toilet. After an hour she was fresh and energized enough to start of her day. Clad in her oversized pancoat hoodie,grey leggings, fila high top and pink neon backpack she walked her way to her store. Well her shop was just 5mins away from her apartment. It’s spring, the air is beautiful and flowers were everywhere.  Her hair was a short bob and she felt the tug of the spring air. ‘such a beautiful spring’ smiled violet. At the coner of the street they stands her small cozy looking rustic brown with a purple sign board *novels dorm*.  She opened the front door and with a slight ring from the door’s bell she said ‘anyyeong’. Anyyeong lily, rach and mark shouted back. ‘how are you guys today?’ violet placed her backpack on the counter, some customers were seen wondering browsing novels. Lily was busy typing who-knows-what-data to the computer, mark was busy stacking books. Rach looks sleepy ‘we are good, sales are looking good and violet you gotta settle your books order, we have to give in the orders by today’. Violet grabbed her backpack and walked down the aisle to her office ‘off to work peeps’ she shouted. Opened her office door. ‘ah, office sweet office’ she whispered. There was her office,yellow walls, pink chair, white office table, red wavy rug and one big leather couch where she usually doze off when she is tired. Her office table was stacked with different files and romance novels of many kinds. She oned her laptop and started working.

She was a romantic at heart person, that is why her bookstore only sales romance novels. It was her dream since she was a teenager and she feels so happy that now she has what she wants. The shop is still young, still needs growing.

Few hours passed, her eyes were sore from staring at the screen. Her job was done for today so she decided to go out from her office and helped rach,lily and mark. Walking slowly she observed her store. High to the ceiling navy blue shelf with stairs intach. Marron coloures rug floor, rows of colourful novels, some boxes stacked at the corner, new arrival books she guess, she approach the red counter at the centre of the store,lily was still busy staring at the laptop screen. ‘lily,are you working or you playing facebook’ violet strained her neck to the screen.

‘emmmm’ lily seem to just ignore her but then her eyes were diverted to rach n mark. Suddenly they shouted ‘Surprise,Happy Birthday Violet!’ Mark came approaching from the shelves with a cake and rach was holding a small box. The cake says ‘Happy birthday Violet, may your hero comes your way’. Violet was confused for a minute or two and was trying to remember today’s date. Ah it is 27 of May so it is her birthday. She hugged her buddies. ‘thank you guys, I forgotten’. Mark snickered ‘we knew, we waited for you to finish your work so then you won’t be diverter, ah we bought u a present!, rach give her’ Mark ushered rach. They seem to be really excited with the present and maybe my reaction.

I open the small red box and there layed a ticket, she took it out and read the big letter “SOLAR concert Taeyang, VIP seat” ‘WHAT?’ Violet was shocked. Rach seems to be estactic with violet’s reaction and was partly shouting, ‘we knew you’ll love it, go Violet, wear something nice, the concert is tonight!!’ Mark and Rach seem to share mutual feelings on this one

Thanks guys’ Violet said. They chased her away from the shop, it was already 4pm and the concert is at 8pm.She didnot even get to eat her cake. Violet walked back to the apartment and sighed ‘taeyang’

Taeyang, since Violet was 18 taeyang was the center of her world, everything revolves around him, she have a pillow with his face on it, there was a stage where she feels like she knew who taeyang really was and she actually wish they were meant to be together. Those were her years but as she grew up and got busy with work she treated taeyang more like a secret lover. So secret even taeyang don’t know. But now rach,lily and mark bought her a ticket and she is going to see him live for the first time. Violet smiled. Maybe for old time sake’s.

In the apartment Violet had a hard time figuring out what to wear but then she tought she might just as well be herself. So there she went with a blue stadium jacket, black skinny, blue SPX high top, a love necklace dangling, diamond student earrings and her cool yellow gladiator hair band, as for her backpack she decided to change it to a leather sling.she is 23 for a reason.

Suddenly her bell rang, she looked and it was Rach. Violet opened the door and Rach made an astonished face looking at her. Rach was always a girly girl to begin with. Wearing nice blouses and dresses to work. ‘ Violet!!, I knew you’ll do this. Didn’t you read the ticket, it says black and y’ Violet was stumped ‘ah really, I didn’t know, what am I going to wear and why are u herr?’ Rach snickers, ‘I was going to check up on you, thank god I did, come I’ll help’ Rach dashed and walked down the aisle to my bed room, opened the cupboard and started browsing cloths. Violet hears her mumble ‘hmmm, white, pink, grey, cardi, jackets, shirts, hoodies,hoodies, ah, dress!!!!!!’. Violet knew it, Rach toke out the only dress she own a black silk negliee like dress that Lily bought for her for last year’s birthday. She was not going to wear that, or will she??

After 15mins she was all set tp go in the black dress, yellow pumps, yellow gladiator headband, and her heart necklace, all.. Rach seems satisfied and Violet was just too tired to disobey orders.                                                                                                                 

In her Mercedes Smart Car she speed up to the concert area. Parked away, Violet stands infront of the entrance. Suddenly she fell  like she’s 18 again, a tad bit in love.

The concert went for 3 hours and all those while Violet can’t seem to take her eyes off Taeyang. Ahhh her deepest crush. Why did she ever came. She knew it was dangerous enough with the posters and her secret lover scheme. Now it all seems in reach.so close to take

Taeyang in his vest, newly trimmed mohack, his black sunnies. How could she resist. All the sudden she is 18 again

His attitude, humour, childlikeness, all of it. All seem to make her wind it that old path where she used to be. In the end of the concert She was bumped she no longer feel a tad bit in love, she feels ruined. She was 23, she cant afford this crush anymore.

But before it all ends suddenly the light shone. Taeyang comes out and laughed ‘ I have a surprise for my fans tonight. One of you ladies will spend a day with me and we have already pick the lucky seat number. The crowd roared with girls screaming overexcitedly hoping that the girl is her. Taeyang smiled. Oh his smile, melts me like an ice cream under the sun, snap it Violet!

Taeyang announced seat 23!, Violet looks at her ticket, 22! She stares at the girl net to her. She was screaming and jumping around. Ahh she looks like a model, so pretty. Taeyang seems pleased and invited the girl to the stage, violet smiled but darn it her heart was breaking. She cant watch no more, she walked slowly to the exit door and with everystep a little bit of her heart breaks.

So much of being ruined!
