08

Quincy came out of school and met Kimberly, just getting out of the car.

Kimberly almost fainted when she saw her unpleasant condition, her clothes are a mess, her face is unrecognizable.

She actually came to wait since she only has one class which will end in 10.

"Quincy" she almost shouted

Quincy rushed into the car and Kimberly got in too.

"What the hell happened to you?" She asked but Quincy just cried loudly.

When she saw that it was pointless to ask, she revved the car's engines and moved the car down the road, beginning the return trip.

Genova came over and stared confusedly at the car until it was out of sight.

"Quincy? Did she just call him Quincy?" He thought about it but decided to do the most important thing first.

"Reece," he said, clenching his fist tightly.

He used a mask and got into a taxi which took him home.

On his way home, he ripped off the mask and burst in.

He met Hanna in the living room but he cares less about her now.

He ignored her and went upstairs.

He arrived in Reece's room and burst in.

Reece is sitting on his bed, reading the comments on the voice note and laughing so hard.

This only added fuel to the fire, Genova got even angrier.

Reece dropped his phone and faced her.

"Hey, do you like the surprise I gave her?, I told you you can't save her, I'm sure she'll be somewhere right now, crying or probably thinking about jumping in the Han river, he's a fool swear," Reece said as she walked up to him.

Immediately arriving in Genoa, he received a punch from her and staggered with bleeding lips.

"You want to die?" Reece said shockingly.

"You shouldn't have been created at all, you waste air breathing and the fact that I breathe the same air as you is really embarrassing, you enjoy hurting girls and making them cry, bastard usual !" Genova screamed and ran back to him.

This time he managed to push him towards the bed, he sat astride his stomach and then he started punching him in the face without giving him any chance to retaliate.

He nailed his hands.

" Devil !! he shouted, throwing more punches at her face.

Reece bled from his mouth and nose, his face became bruised and bloody.

"Genoa!!" Hanna shouted as she entered the room.

Genova pretended not to hear, he continued to punch Reece hard in the face until Hanna had a hold of him.

"Stop!!!!' she screamed.

Genova stopped reluctantly, releasing heavy breaths as her fist lowered.

He looked at Reece whose face was bloody and couldn't resist the urge to punch him again.

He punched him again and Hanna pulled him from Reece before slapping him hard on the right cheek.

"Leave!, Leave you devil!" She yelled in his face before going to see Reece.

"Reece, are you okay? Your face is…oh no, what are we going to do, we're going to take you to the hospital," she said, helping Reece up.

He led Reece out of the room and Reece secretly smiled at him as he left with Hanna.

Genova left the room and went to her own room.

He sat on the bed, looking at his hands.

"I wish I could make him toothless," he mumbled and stood up.

He reached into his hair and ruffled it excitedly.

"Is she okay? Will she cry a lot?" he wondered worriedly.

He pushed back the wall and closed his eyes.

He stayed like that for what seems like an eternity before he opened his eyes.

"But why did Kimberly call her Quincy?" He thought and straightened up.

"Wait…Kimberly is Quincy Norbert's manager…so…" He thought and his eyes widened.

MAYBELLINE COLLEGE**

"She's gone home I think," Bae said after finishing searching the nooks and crannies of the whole school with Izzy, no sign of Huey.

"I promised to get her number but I didn't even do it, I feel bad," Bae said.

"Me too, she's gonna cry right now, all of Seoul knows about the voice note and Reece's fans keep laughing at her, Reece is a freak, he denied it wasn't whoever posted it, he said maybe someone ratted on them when she confessed," Izzy said.

" Really?" bae replied

"Yeah, he posted the video five minutes after the voice note started trending, he denied posting the note, he said he wasn't being that cruel," Izzy said.

"That snake!, it's him!" Bae said.

"But no evidence, it was posted with an anonymous account, no evidence pointed it out," Izzy replied.

Bae's arms fell to her hips and she sighed loudly.

"We are his friends and we don't even have his number, what kind of friends are we," she said.

"I really want to see her, the pain is too much for her alone to bear," cried Izzy.

"Hey, you don't need tears, okay? I'll call Kimberly, Kimberly is her guardian, she can just text her number," Bae said and Izzy nodded.

Craig appeared this minute.

"Are you girls already in contact with her?" he asked breathlessly.

"No, no one has her number, Bae will call Kimberly and ask her," Izzy replied, wiping her tears away with her hands.

Craig pulled out a handkerchief and gave it to her.

She sniffled lightly before taking it.

"Kimberly doesn't choose," Bae finally said.

"Genova chased her earlier but he's nowhere to be found too, plus it's partly Riri's fault, Genny warned her like crazy," Craig said.

"I know, right?, I warned her individually," Bae replied.

"I did the same thing but she was adamant and so stubborn," Izzy said.

" What to do?" said Craig worried.

"I'm just gonna have to storm Quincy's house and meet Kimberly so we can get her number," Bae said and they all agreed to do it.

Craig made a call and his driver brought his car.

They got in and he drove them to Quincy.

"How beautiful" smiles Izzy looking at the mansion

"Will she be in it?" Craig asked

"You mean Quincy? No, she's not in Korea right now, she loves to travel," Bae replied as she walked in.

Bae rang the doorbell and Kim opened it.

"You didn't pick up your phone, I called a few minutes ago," she said.

"Oh really?, it must have been when I was consoling Riri," she replied.

“Have you seen her? Izzy asked quickly.

"Yes she looked pitiful, I tried to persuade her to go home but she ran away and since then I haven't been able to contact her, her line is down," she said. answered.

"She must be broken like hell, what to do?" Bae said.

"Give us his line first, I'll try calling him too," Izzy said.

Kimberly gave her line and Izzy tried it but it's off.

"It's so frustrating seriously," she complained worriedly.

"I've looked everywhere she likes to go but couldn't find her, but I promise to find her and let you know," Kimberly said.

"Thank you Kim, please let us know, I'm restless as hell, heartbreak isn't easy," Craig said.

"But...it's not entirely heartbreaking, not like they're dating," Izzy said.

"But she loves him yunno" Bae replied.

"More like an obsession I mean... it was obvious that Reece wasn't for her but she behaved desperately because her obsession was veiling her, it may sound harsh but the truth is always harsh," said replied Craig.

" What are we doing ? Izzy said.

"Nothing except waiting for her to show up again," Bae replied.

“Is she going to try to hurt herself? Izzy asked

"Hurt?, Come on, she's not that dumb, it's humiliating that I get…but suicide?, Come on, it's over," Craig said.

*******

Kimberly took some tissues and placed them on a tray then took them to Quincy's room.

Since she came back with her, she has locked herself in her room, refusing to open the door but we hear the slow and silent sound of her sobs.

She got the extra key and opened the door.

Quincy is completely under the duvet, crying as expected.

Kimberly dropped the tray of tissues on the bed next to her and sighed.

"I warned you didn't I, and I told you to walk slowly, I told you it's dangerous to fall fast, I told you but what have you done?, you threw my advice down the drain, you completely ignored" she said.

Quincy's screams grew louder.

"You wanted a stable love life, isn't that why you came here from Australia in disguise?, in disguise without adding ferocity, you're too gullible sorry to say, he got you so easily and now i think this is the worst heartache you ever had, all seoul knows SHAMELESS RIRI,” Kimberly said.

Quincy cried even harder.

"I brought some tissues because you're going to need them, and you better not try anything funny," Kimberly said and started to walk out but stopped when she got to the door.

She looked back and started to come back.

"I can't even ignore you, I can't" she said pulling the duvet off him.

She picked up Quincy and almost cried too.

There's nothing to say about his face, it's red, swollen, watery, swollen...everything.

"Oh my Quin" she said hugging her tightly.

Quincy continued to cry so hard on her shoulder.

"I'm sorry I didn't listen to you!!" She cried.

"I'm sorry I ignored your warnings," she cried again.

"It's ok, it's ok, it's ok, it's ok," Kimberly replied, stroking her hair and patting her on the back.

ALEJANDRO'S HOUSE**

Max came back from work and only met Hanna and Reece in the dining room, having dinner.

He walked towards them with concern and Hanna stood up.

"Welcome honey" she smiled, trying to coax him to sit down.

"Why isn't Genova here?" He asked.

"Are you only interested in Genova?" Can't you see Reece's bruised face? Hanna asked.

"You only care about Reece, I have no right to care about Genova?" He answered and Hanna snickered.

"Your Genova made Reece's face that way because of a girl and you expect me to care about him?, kidding," she scoffed.

" A girl?" Max replied

“Trend girl SHAMELESS RIRI, he assumed Reece posted the voice note when Reece didn’t know, he’s so evil,” Hanna replied.

"He's someone I know very well, if he's not sure Reece did that, he'll never do that to him," Max replied.

"Oh...so you're siding with that evil boy?" Hana replied

"My son is not evil!, and you Reece, are you really innocent?" Max asked, facing Reece.

"You love him so much that you doubt me? I hate that!" he replied, dropping his fork.

He got angry.

Max glared at Hanna angrily before walking straight into Genova's room.

He opened the door and found him wearing his headphones as usual, eyes closed, sitting on his bed.

"Genova" he called and quickly opened his eyes.

"Dad," he smiled as he got off the bed.

He came to Max and Max hugged him.

"I trust you," he said and Genova smiled.

" Have you heard of it ? He asked.

“Of course RIRI SANS PEHEUR is the hottest news in Seoul right now,” Max replied, breaking the embrace.

"He did it, he told me on his own," Genova said.

“I know how evil he can be, I trust you…but for the fact that you beat him because of what he did to the girl, is the girl someone special ? Max asked.

"Does she have to be someone special before I hit Reece for doing something wrong?" He answered and Max smiled.

"I'm going to take a shower right now, I'll pick you up when I'm done, we can go to dinner together," he said.

"I'll wait." Genova smiled and Max started to leave.

"Dad" Genova suddenly called and he turned around.

"Reece…he really is my twin, isn't he?" And mom… it's my mom… of course? He asked

Max smiled and came back.

"Why did you ask?"

"Just that...it's getting harder and harder to believe these days," Genova replied.

"Have you ever seen me with a woman other than Hanna?" Max asked.

"No…sorry for doubting," he replied and Max patted his shoulders before leaving.

Genova sat back on the bed, considering her suspicions.

"Quincy…Riri…" he muttered and lay down.

"She's definitely going to have a red, swollen face right now, I'm guessing she'll be crying for days" he thought worriedly.

********

THE NEXT DAY, MAYBELLINE COLLEGE**.

Ask anyone for the hottest news in Seoul, especially inside Maybelline, it's SHAMELESS RIRI.

It became a trend everywhere and Riri's pictures were pasted on campus, SHAMELESS RIRI was written on it.

Bae got out of her car with Izzy and the first thing they saw were the pictures outside the school.

"Polly and her dogs at work," Izzy said and started picking them up with Bae.

Their arms were almost cramped because it's a lot, it's everywhere but they kept removing.

Genova and Craig joined them and Bae inhaled.

"What do we do, it's not going to go away anytime soon," she said.

"I sure won't, I wonder how she's doing, I couldn't sleep last night," Izzy replied.

"Same here" said Bar

Genova didn't close an eye either, he only thought of her until daybreak.

"She'll always be crying, I'm sure," Craig pouted.

Izzy and Bae continued to remove the posters and a high pitched laugh made them stop to see Polly and her minions behind them.

"Do you think taking down the posters is going to end this? Don't be silly, it's even in the news, Huey became an overnight celebrity," laughed Polly.

“Did you really put up those posters? asked Genoa.

"I didn't" Polly answered flatly but Genova moved closer to her.

"Are you even going to lie to my face?" He said.

"I always admit what I do because I'm not a chicken! And I say I didn't put up those posters!" Polly screamed angrily but calmed down immediately.

"Sorry for yelling at you but I really didn't," she said.

Red and Trinidad intervened.

"We arrived at school ten minutes ago, is it possible for us to paste all of this in ten minutes? It's all over every wall on this campus," Trinidad said.

"Get lost, stop accusing blindly," Red said.

Polly smiled and stepped forward.

"We didn't, but I know who did," she said, smiling knowingly.

She moved even closer and whispered in Genova's ears.

Genova looks shocked, the way her eyes widen confirming that.

EVENING, THE MANOIR DU KANG**

Polly has just returned from her evening workout around the estate with Kai.

She dropped Kai on one of the couches and went upstairs to take a shower, but she sensed Molly was in the office.

Their office is right next to their father's.

She walked into the office and Molly is really there, reading.

Polly smiled and approached her, she grabbed her book suddenly and Molly stood up to face her.

"I'm not in the mood for your madness tonight so give me back my book" she said.

Polly hid it behind and smiled.

"Should we read together?, miss saint?" She says.

"Give me back my book that I have to read!" Molly shouted.

"It's amazing how you always manage to fool everyone playing the saint, but I'm not disappointed, you're like me.....wait no....you're worse than me because I don't I'm not a hypocrite," Polly said.

"What the devil are you talking about!" Molly said out loud.

"Everyone knows Polly is a semi-devil, everyone knows Pollyanna has a bad personality, and for everyone at Maybelline College, Polly Kang is worse, and that's fine with me because that's my personality, but the only thing I hate is being a devil but hiding in the disguise of a saint, that's exactly what you are" said Polly seriously.

"You're crazy! Get lost!" Molly cried as she sat down.

"The pool during the holidays...I mean...Riri, you pushed her into the pool, didn't you?" Polly said and Molly looked at her shockingly.

"Yeah I found out, you pushed her and Genova saved her, he gave her mouth to mouth from a bitch like you!" Polly shouted.

Molly clenched her fist.

"Nobody noticed because the hell!...everyone knows you as Miss Goody Shoes, covering up the fact that you're a two-faced bitch!.....and early this morning you went on campus to stick Riri's picture around, I saw you," Polly said.

Molly stood up and wanted to leave but Polly grabbed her hair.

"Do you like Reece or is it Genny?" she asked, pulling her hair.

"Let me go !" Molly said.

"You can have Reece but not Genny," Polly said.

"I love Genny!!!" Molly cried as she broke free.

" What!"

"Yes I love her you know how it felt to see him always standing up for her? I almost went crazy when he grabbed her and saved her from falling down the stairs he even asked if she was fine... Ion like her!!!" Molly shouted.

Polly slapped her immediately.

“Poly! Chairman Kang shouted as he entered.

She looked back and he wanted to slap her but she held him back.

"I won't allow you to slap me again... You're both the same, acting like saints but actually demons!" She screamed.

Chairman Kang stood stunned as Molly stared at her speechless.

“na noh meewo !!! (I hate you both!!!)” she yelled and banged heavily on the shelf next to her.

He fell on another and the shelves continued to fall on top of each other as she left, slamming the door angrily.
