Author's POVEverything is white and dreamy. The breeze coming through the window, blowing the flimsy chiffon curtains in an unheard of music making the city scape outside looks like it is floating on puffy clouds. Soo Hyuk turns around as he heard the sound of a door opening and the click clack of someone walking. He is sure its Athenna....the distinct way of her walking is a rhythm he now knows by heart.  When she fails to appear, he begins to walk towards the door intending to look for her. Than the sound of the haunting music played on a piano begins to float towards him. The haunting notes depicts the sound of a broken heart, of sadness and of defeat...It brought tears to his eyes hearing it. He knew without a doubt that she is crying, hurting. The urge to comfort her and give her solace is an urgent need running through his veins. Than....somebody is calling him...somebody is shaking him...He opens his eyes but closed them again as the light hurts him. Bright lights and warmth assaulted his senses. Than he felt someone staring at him from above....and as he breaths, he smells her...Athenna. He immediately opens his eyes despite the onslaught of pain on his senses. He started to sit up but the pounding in his head brought a groan out of him as he laid back on his pillow. He than felt someone else sleeping on his chest...He glanced down and saw Sarah sleeping, draped over his body. Than he realised that both of them are naked underneath the sheets. Cold sweats begins to pop out and he can feel the blood physically drained from his face down to his body. This is...this is not real, he must've still be dreaming. Any minute now, he would wake up from this nightmare. Any minute now...Soo Hyuk-ah wake up, wake up..."Dont bother to stand up. You would be flashing other people in here. And seriously I dont think Kay would want the image". Athenna's voice shattered his hope that this is a mere dream...a terrible nightmare. He shoved Sarah away from him and the later gasp in shock, fully awake now. She sat up while clutching the sheets to her chest, hiding herself from the others in the room. He glanced and saw Kay standing not far from Athenna, no doubt she came in with her. "Well now...Nana...shall we get on with the bitch fight already? The day is getting on babe. We need to go eat now" he heard Kay said. Her tone brought fresh chills running up his body. He knew Kay can be pretty scary when she wanted to, heck all the girls can be mean when they are in the mood. This however, this was a different animal all together. The woman sounded vicious and unapologetic. "Aiya...no need babe. You wanna waste your energy on THAT trash? Really? You would only dirty your hands. Nah....no bitch fights today. How about you call all the designers instead?  Especially the ones that SHINE invested in...Better still call some journalists will ya. I think a new couple has emerge" Athenna said with a lazy drawl. Her voice sounded mild when compared to Kay's but he knew too, that this is how she sounded when she is disillusion, when she is distant. He can not let this go on...he must explain but for the life of him, he dont know how to even begin. Everything is a blur to him, this nightmare like reality seems so far fetch, it seems unreal. Nevertheless, he has to say something.... "Honey please...its not what it seems...we were drunk....no I was drunk...and you were not returning any of my calls....argh I am so confuse right now. But please..." Soo Hyuk pleaded. His mouth is dry, the effects of the alcohol still raging in him, he cant say anything more...words fail him. "Well now...So I am at fault? Great! I am sorry. Let's go babe...the stench in here is nauseating me" Athenna said as she turns towards the door. No! No...he cant let her go, so he quickly grabbed her hand, stopping her exit, wanting for her to stay and let him explain...explain...whatever it is had happen here.The look she gave him is one of scathing, one of betrayal and of hurt...deeply hurt. "Please get your dirty whore mongering hands off of me. Do not ever call my name" Athenna said as she wrench her hand away from his tight grasp. Her words scorch him, burn him. She turns around however and gave him a hard look before saying softly...mildly "Do me a favor...loose my number. In fact dont even let your shadow anywhere near me or so help me god, I will kill you. And that goes for you too missy. Owh and remember this little girl....dont blame me for whats gonna happen to you..... I did warn you". With her words still haunting him, she left with a final clic
