{ STINGS OF JEALOUSY }
“Stop or I’ll kiss you if that’s gonna make you stop talking” He snapped and Lily blinked twice unable to speak.
The rest of the walk to their apartment was completely silent, she didn’t speak.
“Drop me!” She said immediately she got to her entrance,avoiding his face.
“Can you walk in…
“I’ll manage!” She mumbled and he dropped her, Lily didn’t turn back before rushing in.
Ricky turned and entered his apartment too, White was already asleep when he came in.
He entered his room and fell on the bed, his mind went to what he said earlier.
Kiss her? Why did he even say such a thing?
Why did he rush out to walk her home safely? Does that mean he’s worried about her.
“That’s not possible! Stop thinking about it” He assured himself.
His phone beeped from the bed stand and he checked it.
WHAT TIME IS YOUR FANSIGN STARTING TOMORROW?
It’s from Tanya.
WHY?
NOTHING,JUST THAT I HAVE A SURPRISE FOR YOU, SEE YAH!
Ricky scoffed.
“Will she ever stop?” He hissed and threw the phone aside.
*I hope Ricky noticed me and give me his authograph! I’ve been waiting for that throughout my lifetime,If that happens… I’ll surely die*
He remember Lily’s word and chuckled softly.
“Why is she so crazy about me?”
“Let’s see if you really die cos of an autograph.” He said with a smirk.

<LILY’S ROOM>
“Ouch! That’s hurt!” Lily dropped the oilment she just applied on her ankle and sighed frustratedly.
“Who does he think he is really? Why didn’t I even talk back? Not like he’ll really do it or something”
“He must be really crazy, he’s not only weird. He’s a pervert too, it doesn’t suit his face at all.” She scoffed and got up.
She limped Into the kitchen and got herself a bottle of water from the fridge, she drank a bit from it before returning it back.
“Wait a minute…. Does he have a crush on me or something?” She gasped.
“Just stop thinking about it Lily! It’s absurd!”
She sat on the couch and suddenly remember she had Kelly’s autograph, she immediately brought it out from her bag.
“OMG! It’s not an imagination,he really gave me his autograph… No I met him in real life and he even talk to me, he also helped me out! Gosh, this house is really my lucky charm! I can’t believe I met face to face with two MP members in just few days! Lily you’re going crazy!” She jumped excitedly forgetting about her ankle.
“Aargh!” She fell down and whines pains.
“I just hope I don’t end up killing myself cos of this people!” She muttered still staring at the signature.
“Let’s hang this here.” She walk to the wall where she had placed Kris’s autograph and placed it beside it.
“This is like a dream come true, I only have to get Trace and Cody then Ricky if possible, and I can finally die in peace!” She screamed.
“See you tomorrow my love” She grinned and kissed Ricky’s portraits.

<FOLLOWING MORNING••MPS MANSION>
“Make sure to abide by all these rules or you’re out! The rest will be forwarded to Trace when you get there. Mr Cooper to Moonlight Pitch” Trace finished reading out the content Mr Cooper sent to them this morning to the rest of the members and a loud groan followed by the guys.
“Seriously? Is this even a prison or something?” Cody scoffed.
“I know right,we can’t even do our things the way we want it. He is only good at threatening us” Kris said.
Kelly only hissed and left the room.
“You guys should get ready,we don’t have much time left!” Trace said and walked out.
“Wait for me!” Cody went after him.
“Why are you so quite?” Kris turned to Ricky who hasn’t said a word since they gathered there.
“Just tired of everything,I h@të how he always show favoritism and treat you guys bad” Ricky said.
“But you’re not at fault here…
“I wish that’s how Kelly sees it” Ricky cuts in.
“Just ignore him like I said, he’ll come along” Kris replied.
“Has he always been like that?”
“Not really,he is cheerful when we’re still close. I wonder if you don’t get hot in that mask of yours…” Kris shooked his head.
“I do,I’m almost suffocating here!” He removed his mask and ruffled his hair.
“Why do you cover your face when you’re so handsome?”
Ricky went mute.
“It’s fine if you don’t want to tell me about it yet,less I forget I met a crazy fan at a flower shop I went. She told me she’s a big fan of ours especially you. Imagine her calling you her future hubby” Kris chuckled.
“Really? Did she tell you her name?” Ricky asked.
“Nah,I didn’t get to ask cos I was in a bit rush. Maybe some other time”
Ricky nodded.
•••
<THE MONDRAGON’S>
Tanya finished dressing up, she checked herself out in the mirror before walking out her room to the living room.
Meeting no one,she went straight to her dad’s room,he was in a meeting with one of his investors who’s also his close friend Roger.
“Dad I need to speak with you” She said immediately.
Billy and Roger looked up.
“We will soon be done with the meeting,you can just sit down and wait for me princess” Billy said and Roger almost couldn’t believe his ears.
He had to believe anyway,this isn’t the first time he would be witnessing how Billy spoilt her.
“No,it’s urgent or I might get mad!” Tanya rolled her eyes.
“Please don’t princess,it’s just a minutes left,Roger and I will soon be done” Billy said.
“Do I look like I give a Füçk? If you’re going to choose him over me then I’m outta here!” She hissed and turn to leave but Billy ran after her and grabbed her hands.
Roger watch the scene unfold in front of him in silence. He knows better than interfering in their business if he still love his job.
“Are you going to let me speak now?” Tanya turned to Billy,her arms crossed.
“I’m all hear my princess” Billy replied.
“How can you allow my bank account balance to be lower than 50million dollars? How? I’m your only daughter and the heiress to your fortune,how can you treat me like this?” Tanya nagged.
“I know I wasn’t thinking.. Calm down princess,I’ll transfer a lot to you as soon as you leave here i promise” Billy immediately brought out his phone.
“Good! That’s why I love you dad!” She grinned and hugged him.
“I love you too!” Billy smiled. Tanya broke the hug and shot Roger a h@tëful glare before walking out.
Just like Billy said,her phone beeped immediately. He had just send another 50million dollars to her,infact he doubled it.
“Good!” She smirked and entered her car. one thing about her is that they had enough drivers but she preferred doing it herself.
Tanya started the car and drove out of the mansion.

<FANSIGN EVENT••5PM>
The members of Moonlight Pitch are seated at a table,the fans are in a long line in front of them. Each and everyone of them had their own line where their fans lined up.
As expected Ricky’s own was the longest. Infact he’s tired of signing already, picture and everything but they kept coming
Lily was among the middle trying her best to push her way to the front but no one is ready leave their spot for her.
“Füçk! What if they call it a day and I didn’t get a chance like before?” She sighed checking her watch. She had been here since ten in the morning but she’s still not giving up.
Ricky on the other hand was eye searching her among the crowd but couldn’t spot her anywhere.
“Is she not coming?” He said as he checked his wrist watch.
MINUTES LATER,
Lily sighed tiredly. She already found a spot to seat, but she still had her eyes on the line.
She was looking for an opportunity to cut through it and when she finds it, she swear she was gonna push harder.
It’s either she or the person gets hurt in the process but she has to cut through this long line.
She finally got an opportunity and she ran like a flash, but she wasn’t the only crazy fan there. The other fans fought very hard making sure she doesn’t get in and some pushed her roughly.
Lily gasped as she staggered, and she almost fell but she landed on someone’s arm instead.
She raised her head to see her saviour.
“MP Kelly?” She gasped loudly.
“We meet again” Kelly smiled and released her.
“Right? We did” Lily giggles adjusting her hair.
“You’re only bent on taking Ricky’s autograph and pictures,I feel jealous”
“Oh that’s not it,I just feel like I’ve gotten your autograph before and…
“What about pictures?” Kelly cuts in.
“Oh! You’re willing to take a picture with me!” She exclaimed.
Kelly nodded.
“Whao!” She mouthed and Kelly returned back to his seat,he signalled her to seat in front of him.
“I’m a big fan of yours Uncle Ricky! I love your music a lot!” The small girl smiled.
“Really? What’s your name?” Ricky asked.
“Yuna” The gurl replied.
“Oh you’re a Korean right?”
“Yes and you’re a Korean too,that’s what made me love you more…”
Ricky was about replying when his face caught Lily in front of Kelly,she was sitting in front of him,and they seem to be enjoying each other’s company.
It’s strange to him cos the Kelly he knows never get along with fans that much,They seem to be more like close friends or even more.
“Do they knew each other or something?” He scoffed and Yuna had to tapped him.
“I’m still waiting for your autograph…” She said like a child she is.
“Oh right….” Ricky said and tried concentrating on the girl but his eyes kept finding it’s way to Lily and Kelly.
Ricky watched as they both laughed and chatted happily,he even touched her hair.
That’s it! He was unaware of when he clenched his fist on the pen he’s holding.
“Uncle Ricky,You aren’t concentrating on me….” The small girl pouted sadly.
“I’m sorry! I’ll be back” He got up and left the place angrily.
•••
<RESTROOM>
Ricky stared at himself in the mirror with the running tap still on,he couldn’t get his mind off the scene early.
*I don’t know… But I like Ricky so much. I’ll forever remain his díe hard fan* he remembered her words
“Díe hard fan my foot?! If she’s a díe hard fan, what was she doing with him! Ugh!” He ruffled his hair in frustration. Why was this having an effect on him.
It was so annoying.
The door opened and Lily walked in.
She actually mistook the boys restroom with the girls.
“Oh my! I’m so sorry…” She said quitely and turn to rush out but stop when she saw the figure properly, his head was bowed but his mask was beside him.
“Ricky?” She gulped down emptiness before moving closer to him.
“Hey! Are you okay?” She asked in a low voice.
Ricky immediately put back his mask, he then turn to her. Lily gasped!
She… She was standing right in front of Ricky! Her crush and obsession! She was obviously not breathing as she stared at him.
Ricky scoffed and made to leave but…
“Ricky! I’m your top one fan!” She didn’t know when she said that.
Ricky scoffed again.
“A-Are….you….sure…..everything is….f-f…ine? You can share it with me if you want” Lily said nervously.
“And why would I do such a thing?” Ricky faced her, Lily’s breath siezed,she was both nervous and shy speaking to him directly for the first time.
“I just.. thought you…. might need someone to talk to…
“Do I look like someone who need to confide in someone like you?” He snapped and Lily blinked.
“What?”
“If you’re going to choose a person you like. Then do it properly and stop confusing others” He yelled and left the restroom.
Lily stared at him in utter shocked. What’s he talking about?
But all that does not matter now? How can he yell at her? She adore him so much and he’s really shouting at her just in their first meeting.
“He’s so mean” She mumbled fighting back her tears but it’s came out before she could even blink.
She was already in tears when she got outside. People were staring at her but she cares less.
“Hey Lily are you okay?” Kelly rushed to her immediately he saw her coming.
“I’m not okay! I’m not! I don’t think this stupid tears will stop anytime soon!” She snapped and turned to leave.
Kelly blocked her path. He pulled her to a secret area.
“Why? What happened?” He asked.
“I don’t know why I love him so much,I want to h@të him for shouting at me but I can’t, why is it so hard?” She said in tears.
“I’m so stupid! This is the first time I get to talk to him but I already get on his bad side… Rather than getting angry, I’m hating myself for it! Why am I so silly?” She cried.
Kelly folded his fist.
“He’s so mean, I was only trying to talk to him and…” Kelly suddenly pulled her to a hug before she could finish.
Lily made to broke the hug but he refused to let her go.
“That’s because you all believe what you choose to believe. I’m glad you get to meet the real him first” Kelly said.
“But he’s seems cool and nice.”
“Yes he’s more evil when you get to know him even more” Kelly said.
“But….
“You should just forget about him! I’m here for you!” Kelly muttered patting her back.
