Dark Princess
Perceptiveness
Jade Viewing Angle
Seeing the state of Earnest made me live longer by a few days, maybe more. His face was worried, his eyes were puffy and there was a slight impression of eye bags, perhaps due to lack of sleep or perhaps from crying. Some of the damaged cells in my body seemed to be repairing themselves. One of the most important is my heart. Feels warm. The dominant cold and frozen atmosphere wrapped my heart as if it was melting and I was relieved. Was it because I was about to die, so when I was alive, it felt like I was reborn? I don't know.
Maybe that's what he meant by love. Not only the attention and care she showed through her chaotic condition, but the spotlight she sent through her gaze, was it love? It helps me feel better. And that feeling was sent through my entire bloodstream and it seemed like soon I would be healed. That's more than enough. I will not complain or complain of pain. I can accept everything that happened to me for her.
“I love you..” He caresses my head gently. Very carefully when I touch you. The effect is like pain medication. All the pain and pain in my body disappeared from hearing those words.
“Can I get every day?”
"of course. I'm glad to do. Whenever you want. Should I say every second?" He was joking and I smiled.
“It's too much, once a day is enough.”
"OKAY. As per request, it will be implemented..” He kissed my forehead wrapped in bandages, but the warmth I still felt.
He told me about his trip to the bookstore they used to visit when they were trainees and early debuts as a K-Pop boy-band. Their time is still in the process of adapting to the very stressful circumstances and they still have time to run away from the agency or mess where they live to stop for a moment from the fatigue of pressure. They like the place because it is a comfortable and safe place to hide because it is not too crowded with people. Despite the crowded hours of visitors, they remained safe as they were finally given a special room in the attic, a space deliberately held by the bookstore owner for them. So they can be free to go there at any hour. I love the sparkling eyes when I tell stories. Those memories must have been very memorable for him. And he bought me some books.
"Tell me about them. Another member of The Knights - the name of his band-group. Do you guys still see each other till now?”
“Of course. That's why I visit regularly to this city, in addition to taking care of the Earnest Corps of course. We still meet each other. We never disbanded. Still under contract with several projects as a group. Sometimes we still have to attend festivals or TV shows as a group. But it can be said, 80% of our time is spent on individual activities. Do you know Bradd?”
“Iya, I know. I'm following his latest drama series.”
“Well, like Bradd. He is now focusing on his career as an actor. Dealing with drama, movies and promotions. But if we need to assemble as The Knights, he will join, just like me. My focus at the moment is on business and solo music. And almost all of us focus on the music field, with individual solos. Bradd is the only member to jump into acting.”.
“When was the last time you met?”
“I'm an Earnesters-fans name Earnest Lee--. I don't know anything about The Knights. Don't mistake me."
"So you're mine?" He means one of the loyal followers who joined his fandom. But yes, why not?
"Does that mean everyone who joins the Eearnesters is yours?" I narrowed my eyes at him with a suspicious and unacceptable look. Teasing her. He lost his words and laughed.
"Ah, okay... You know what I mean Jade. Don't tease me like that..." His expression changed quickly. Stuck and admit defeat. He turned out to be very funny.
"So when did you last meet a group?"
“Mmm.. last week. We finished filming for a variety show. Don't know when it's going to air, maybe in about six months? We answer questions about our personal lives and all the activities we are doing regarding our careers. This event is very important because it is one of the moments to still bring The Knights to the fans who are still waiting for us. Less is more..."
"But maybe what they're waiting for is a piece of music as a group. Doesn't that matter?"
"mmm... Of course it matters. And we plan to do it, but not as often as we used to. Many new groups from the next generation are present. A lot of things have changed. And we decided to give ourselves the opportunity individually. With group? Sure oes. Two years ago we released an album. Maybe in two or three years, we'll be back with a new album."
...
We spend most of our time talking. One of the positives of that bad incident, we get to know more deeply. I increasingly understand the way Earnest Lee thinks of Earnest Lee, not the famous celebrity I used to know through the news and the internet. It took me a while to let go of all the understanding I ever had to accept the person I just met.
Slowly, a new perception was formed, Earnest Lee was a romantic man. His heart is soft and sensitive. He made me see a new world, that love does - maybe - exist. If I had a choice, who would he be? He is a man who lives in the lyrics of the song he created. Starting from the theme of humanity, criticism of the environment and the corrupt world to the passionate love and longing, is the thought of an Earnest Lee.
He is by no means the youngest businessman in Asia who is ambitious and lacks that feeling, a man whose mind has only a target and a goal to make his business worldwide. The rest, he doesn't care. Even on gossip accounts, there are still sagging tales of the firing of Earnest Corps employees in inhumane ways because of his psychopathic-like decisions. Then he will spend the night with hedonism, visit nightclubs, alcohol parties to get drunk, there is even one news that says that he consumes drugs, to play women. -Maybe it took me longer to prove if this was wrong or right-make it
The absolute truth about him is that, no matter as a musician or a businessman, he is a principled and charismatic man. The biggest portion in him that makes women crazy, besides his handsome face and perfect body shape.
