Day two isn’t turning out to be easy, not that I thought it would, but I sure as hell didn’t expect Sookie to kiss someone.
I bite down on my lip and keep watching. Cameras continue to roll as Sookie and Dueri make it back out. Rae—or I think it’s Rae gives them a high five for surviving, the rest of the group is kind of awkward until, Iseul pipes up. “Good kisser, huh?”
Dueri steps right in front of Sookie and crosses her arms. “I was more focused on the fact that he was screaming most the time from fake zombies,” She turns to Sookie. “You realize I can barely hear out of my left ear now right?”
Sookie ruffles her hair a bit. I hope my mouth isn’t hanging open but they are so familiar with one another and I’m so jealous again. “That’s right, you’re my savior, I’m pretty sure that really tall one dressed in red blood and that weird skeleton scar would have taken me out.”
“It was weird he whispered your name.” She nods.
“I didn’t like it.” He agrees, they semi break apart.
Lucas goes right into the next two people. “All right terrifying spider and Iseul, you’re up next, you’ll be able to use this entire scary experience to get to know your spider better, discover his identity, and make it out. The money for charity will be decided on how fast your time is—obviously, you need to win, and if you guess your spider’s identity correctly, we’ll add to that!”
Grace faces them, her hands clasped. “Any questions?”
Iseul raises her hand. “I already know it’s Kai.”
“Wow!” Grace gives her a thumbs up. “What gave him away?”
Iseul shrugs. “I studied all of their profiles, but mainly the fact that he kept tripping over his eight legs, and he trips the most on stage.”
Lucas nods once. “And is she correct?”
The spider mask comes off, and it’s Kai, but he doesn’t look happy. His dark hair’s pulled back into a low ponytail. “Yup.”
He’s having a hard time even smiling it looks like, maybe he’s getting sick? He glances toward our tent then back at Lucas when Iseul grabs his hand. “We’re ready to go! Let’s beat their time!”
They’re gone in mere seconds, I’m so focused on the cameras I barely miss Solia storm off from set.
Drama all around. Lovely.
My headache worsens to the point that I need to take some pain medication and hydrate.
“Here.” Producer Sung-Bin hands me a water. “That’s either going to be great tv or we’re going to immediately need to release a statement.”
I snort and start chugging water. “Yeah.”
He touches my arm. “Are you okay? You look pale.”
I lock eyes with Sookie over Sung-Bins shoulder and glare. “Never been better.”
Sookie stares down at the hand placement, but I don’t shrug away, it’s petty, and I’m delusional, but I stay that way for a few seconds until he smirks and walks over to Iseul and rests his head on her shoulder briefly before grabbing her water and stealing it.
That. Little. Shit.
It’s like he’s purposefully making my job hard, jeopardizing the band, his own career, and why? For what?
A small voice whispers: “Fling.” While another follows: “Desperation.”
And I know the third would most likely be: “Love.”
I stick around through filming and Sung-Bin doesn’t leave my side., For the most part, all scandals are avoided with the rest of the members and we have our couples who will move forward—Kai and Iseul, who did end up beating Sookie and Dueri by ten seconds. Kind of like the ten second kiss that Sookie shared with the girl who’s dying.Dying, Ari! Where is your empathy? Where is your compassion?!I scream these things in my head and am pretty sure that I’m losing my mind.
Get a grip…
Get a grip…
And then…
