System! This Prince Doesn't Want To Be An Idol Popstar!

‘What?!’ Lisa was confused and glanced at Shun who frowned hearing all the shouts.

Quickly grabbing Lisa’s wrist, he followed quickly behind the security guards to enter the hotel. Once inside, they quickly went to the elevator and took a deep exhale.

“Sorry Lisa. It is my fault. I didn’t know we arrived.”

“It happens, Ah Shun,” Lisa sighed and Shun squeezed her hand with comfort.

Heading to their hotel room, other idols were there as well. Why? Shun wasn’t sure either.

‘Were they all going to perform at the KLuv Concert?’

They entered their private suite and all eyes quickly turned to them.

“Shun, are you feeling better?” Kaiden questioned as he stood to head to the leader of Symmony.

“Yup. All better,” the silver haired man grinned.

“Lisa?” Star questioned noting the redness along the female’s eyes.

The leader of Shinny Dolls waved off the worry, and noticed everyone was staring at them. Why were there so many eyes on them everywhere today? Lisa was annoyed and confused. Glancing over at Shun, he turned to her with the same look.

“Are you two dating?” Heeang questioned slowly, before quickly glancing at Kaiden. He remembered last time he spoke up. It didn’t end well for him, so he made sure to hold onto Mikey in case.

“What?” Shun furrowed his brows.

“Your holding each other’s hands,” Taemeng stated pointing to the leader’s hands.

Both looked at the hands then redness covered their cheeks as they let go. Clearing his throat, Shun went to the kitchen to grab himself a drink. Ah, from preparing himself to see Suu Jin, to kissing Suu Jin, to hearing the confession of love, to breaking Lisa’s heart, and now for the girls and his groupmates to think Lisa and he were dating.

‘What a mess.’

Returning to the main room, he introduced himself to the girls. He slightly regretted it.

“Hm, Xiong Shun, you are handsome,” Jenell hummed assessing him.

“I can see why people love you,” Kola nodded tapping her chin.

“Mm, no wonder Suu Jin and Lisa likes him,” Jenell commented and Kola added, “Mm a two timer.”

“Kola!” Star reprimanded softly, “That wasn’t nice to say.”

“He’s trying to get with them, isn’t he?”

“Oh! A polyamorous relationship?” Jenell questioned with sparkles in her eyes.

Shun, who had been sitting before them, listened to the whispers from the ladies. He could feel the itch crawling up his skin and he did his best to smile through it.

“Ahem,” he sounded and the females looked at him, “Lisa and I are not dating. Suu Jin and I are not dating. I am not dating anyone.”

“So you are single?” Jenell smirked and Shun had to think about it, “You are in the midst of dating then.”

“Good one!” Kola high fived her friend and Shun wanted to crawl under the blankets to hide.

He wanted to tell Lisa to let them know the truth, but the female had received a call. Stuck with handling the situation, he looked to his friends to see them also staring at him. Did everyone really believed the rumors?! He was not dating anyone… yet...

“I will leave her for you,” Suu Jin had told him and his face flushed remembering it.

This only caused the females to question him more and even Heeang had joined. Who was going to save him now?

While that was happening, Lisa was on the phone with the man that stole her heart. Tears welled up in her eyes and fell effortlessly down soft cheeks. She sat down in the corner lounge on the 3rd floor they were on, listening to the angelic voice through her phone.

“I am sorry, Lisa. I know I hurt you,” Suu Jin said gently, “This is my fault.”

“Just… stop talking,” She wiped her tears and took a shaking breath, “It’s because of him, isn’t it?”

“…”

“I know, Ah Jin,” Lisa whispered, “I know.”

There was silence for a moment before the kind tone from pinkette changed to a cold one.

“What are you going to do about it?”

Lisa sighed and stared at the wall for a moment. She closed her eyes and felt as if her world was shifting, changing into one that was not perfect, one she was not willing to see.

“Keep everything the same,” She offered, “The world still see us dating and as a couple.”

“You want us to lie.”

“You’ve done it all your life, haven’t you?” Lisa spitted out and caught herself, “I apologize.”

“No. It is how you feel,” Suu Jin’s voice was so cold, she felt as if she was freezing.

New tears fell down her cheeks and she felt guilty for doing this to Suu Jin and Xiong Shun, but… she wasn’t ready.

“Fine. I’ll schedule and let you know,” the idol prince stated flatly, “Wait for it.”

The call ended and Lisa covered her face and cried harder. She was going to still have Suu Jin with her, but in doing so…

‘He hates me now.’

“Lisa, are you alright?”

She wiped her tears and turned to see light brown eyes watching her. Furrowed brows and narrowed eyes were aimed at her. Clearing her throat, she stood and smiled at the female.

“Gina, I am fine.”

“I see… Have Ah Jin finally broke up with you?”

Her eyes widened and she steadied her face to not show the anger simmering underneath.

“No, we are still together.”

“Sure.”

“What do you want?”

Lisa was in no mood to argue or fight. Gina was right, Jin did break up with her, but the former lover of the idol prince did not need to know about it. She always had a feeling Gina was trying to get back with Suu Jin again. She had seen the texts, heard the calls, and read the interviews. Was the female waiting for this to happen to swoop back in to take the pinkette again? No. Lisa was not going to let her take him again.

They all knew what she had done to Suu Jin.

‘Are you not doing the same?’ Her thought reminded her and her heart stuttered.

“When Ah Jin loves, he loves deeply. I am sure he treated you like a princess, a queen,” Gina crossed her arms, “But even princesses and queens still bow to the king, still could be replaced.”

“I am not your replacement!” Lisa stepped toward her.

“Aren’t you?” Gina smirked with a quirked brow.

“He told me,” Lisa smiled, “That you were nothing more than an old flame that died. He told me I brought him love again, a kind that you could never bring. So Gina, you will never get Suu Jin again. He moved on. You are his past and I am his future.”

Chest puffed out, she bumped past Gina and headed to her suite, feeling more energized than before.

For Gina, she stood with her eyes glaring a hole in the wall and fisted hands. Lisa, pretty Lisa… How dare that fake loser try to compete with her! She was Suu Jin’s first lover, first everything! The pinkette could not just forget about her so easily. She would find a way back into Suu Jin’s life. She was not going to give up.

An idea was stirring in her head and her lips curled.
