Sweet dreams become nightmare

Minah raises her hands to parallel her legs to the floor and keeps her palms facing down.

Joseph stared at Minah with brooding eyes, and asked her, "What are you doing?"

Minah replies, "I am doing yoga! Girls have always wanted to be pretty, even if they are ghosts!"

Joseph amused by her words and says, "Do not get naked in my house when you need sunbathing!"

Minah feels annoyed when she hears that. She says, "Are you even a man?"

Joseph responded, "What makes you think I am not a man?"

Minah explains, "Man is dying to see me naked, I am sure they have been searching for my nude photos on the internet. But you are telling me not to get naked?"

Joseph smack palm against his forehead and says, "That's because you are not my type of woman"

Minah asked, "I am curious. What type of woman do you like?"

Joseph chuckled and says, "Someone like your best friend, Sarah Lee will be my ideal type"

Minah walks toward and asks, "Are you serious?"

Joseph startled as he saw Minah walking towards him, "You have promised me you will respect my privacy. By all means, you should not ask me private questions. "

Minah looks away and says, "fine!"

Joseph speaks in a soft voice, "But I have decided. I will help you investigate your case."

Minah is very excited. She says, "I have 46 days left in the human world. I need to go to meet the underworld lord to report myself and hear the sentence."

Joseph says, "I know!"

Minah asked, "How do you know? You are not even dead"

Joseph says, "Ghosts like you haunted me all the time after they found out that I can communicate with them. The ghosts are asking me for so much favour, but I do not even earn any money from them. To avoid them, I wore sunglasses at night even though I may look strange"

Minah asked, "Why are you willing to help me?"

Joseph says, "Because you are a celebrity, the article I have posted earlier has the highest view."

The next day in the morning, Sarah meets Lisa Jang, the mother of Brandon at her office.

Lisa gave a blank cheque to Sarah. Lisa tells Sarah to fill in the amount as she wishes, but she demands from her to stay away from her son.

Sarah took the cheque and ripped it into pieces. Sarah says, "Do not treat me like a beggar and stop coming in between me and Brandon."

Lisa is infuriated with Sarah and tells her, "As long as I am still breathing, don't even dream of becoming my daughter-in-law as I will not approve of you."

Sarah left the office room. Many of the paparazzi gathered in front of The red curtain.

They asked Sarah to give more information about her relationship with Brandon. Sarah flaunting an engagement ring on her finger, tells the paparazzi, "Brandon has proposed to me and I have accepted his proposal".

She smiles towards the paparazzi, waving at them, and goes into the limousine van.

She chuckled as she imagined Lisa's reaction when she read the news of the marriage of Brandon and her.

Sarah arrives at the entrance to high school. Five beautiful high school students get into her limousine van.

Sarah told them about meeting up with a good-looking celebrity today, Jayden.

They were very excited.

She took them to buy dresses and accessories, then helped them to apply for makeup.

It thrills the five of them to see the beautiful face themselves in the mirror's reflection. That night, Sarah invited Jayden to have dinner with the girls.

One of them has caught the attention of Jayden, her name is Hilda.

Jayden's father is a politician and one of the high-ranking officers in-country. He is one diplomat that lives in Japan.

Jayden asked Hilda to spend a night with him. She was reluctant at first.

Sarah took her to the bathroom, asked her, "Do you want to continue to live in poverty or do you prefer to get married to a rich and good-looking man like Jayden?"

Hilda does not want to live in poverty anymore, she has decided. She followed Jayden home.

After dinner, Jayden took Hilda home in his luxury car.

He was holding her hand in the car. Jayden gave Hilda a key to the mansion.

He tells her, "You can move into this mansion anytime you want if you wish"

The enormous mansion astonished Hilda and the key put into her bag.

He holds her hand and brings her into the house, showing her around.

When they reach the bedroom, he kisses her. She was shy. He holds her and kisses her again.

Hilda says in a soft voice, "I have never kissed a man before... I don't know how to kiss."

Jayden chuckled, he undressed her and lay her down on the bed, and had sex with her.

Jayden tells Hilda she is beautiful.

He says, "My father is a diplomat in Japan. I will work in Japan soon. Do you want to come with me?"

Hilda asked, "Japan?"

Jayden says, "Yes. I can help you enrol in a prestigious school in Japan, or help you find a job in Japan as an actress like Sarah. You can earn a lot of money"

Hilda is excited when she hears that. She said yes.

Hilda the next day drove an expensive car to school. Treated everyone for lunch. Her friends envied of her. She tells her friends, "I will quit school soon to pursue my study in Japan. I might attend the audition to be an actress in Japan." she chuckled.

Jayden jumps into his luxury sports car. She drove to Sarah's office. Just when he reached, he threw the key to the jokey and requested him to park his car at a valet parking. He bumped into Sarah on the ground floor of her company. He followed Sarah into the lift.

Since there was a crowd in the lift, he could not speak. He meets Sarah in her office room to discuss. They walk out of the lift and head toward the office room of Sarah.

Jayden says, "Hilda is amazing. I will take her to Japan with me"

Sarah asked, "How about the other four girls?"

Jayden says, "If you can persuade them, that will be great!"

Sarah took her car keys from the drawer and walked off from her office. She walked toward her car and started the engine, driving to the high school. She meets up with Hilda and her friends.

Hilda sees Sarah in her luxury car, she walks toward Sarah. The four girls are watching Sarah from the car.

Sarah says, "Come into the car, get your friends to join too"

Hilda turns back and calls her friends. They came forward to meet Sarah. Sarah asked them to get into the car and she drove them to a cafe.

Sarah says, "I heard you are leaving for Japan"

Hilda blushes and says, "I am in a relationship with Jayden now. Thanks to you"

Sarah asked, "Are you going to miss your friends?"

Hilda says, "of course"

Her friends were feeling moody after hearing Hilda is leaving for Japan to study in a prestigious school. They were getting jealous of Hilda.

Sarah says, "Jayden will give the four of you an all-expenses-paid trip to Japan. You can join her in Japan for a tour. Then comes back to South Korea"

The words stunned them and made them feel excited.

Sarah took out the phone and called Jayden, "Jayden, I have persuaded the girls to follow Hilda to Japan" after she hung up the phone. Sarah tells them, "The trip to Japan is next week. Packed and get ready"

Sarah helps them to prepare for the passport. They were all thrilled.

The day of the trip to Japan has arrived. They were all enjoying the first-class seat.

It was a sweet dream for them. As soon as they arrived at Narita airport, Jayden took them around for a tour. Spend them luxurious meals.

While they were walking, Jayden stopped. Jayden tells them that his best friend is the owner of this entertainment company. They are currently having an audition. He invited them to join the audition.

Hilda went on stage to perform in front of the judges. The judges were praising her.

Jayden looked at Hilda's friends. He noticed the girls are getting jealous. Jayden offers the four of them to take part in the audition. They happily say yes!

During the dinner, Hilda was looking upset seeing that her friends are getting the same privileges just like her. She doesn't feel special. Jayden tells Hilda, "I might be busy that he might be busy with work, You will need your friends with you here". Hilda is feeling happy. She did not expect that Jayden would spend so much to bring her friends to Japan just to accompany her.

The girls received a text message. They have passed in the audition. An invitation to sign contracts to be young artists. They all cheer in joy.

The next day, they visited the entertainment agency with Jayden, and they signed the contract.

After signing the contract, Jayden took them to a small house with 5 rooms where they are staying. It surprised Hilda that Jayden is not staying with her. She asked Jayden, "I thought we are staying together?"

Jayden says, "As an actress, you must not reveal your relationship. It may tarnish your reputation. For a start, you may stay in this area. Japan's houses are tiny. So please bear with it. When you are famous, you will buy a mansion here.". Hilda agrees.

In the afternoon, Jayden took them to a hospital to check their health. It puzzled them.

Jayden explains, "It's part of the regulation that you must submit your medical report to the government to prove to them you are healthy to stay in the country."

They believe in him, but the doctor is speaking in Japanese, and they barely understand a word.

Jayden communicates with the doctor in Japanese, asking the doctor to give the surgery form for them to sign.

Jayden then tells the girls, "Doctor is suggesting that you will go through minor surgery. We will pay all expenses. All you need to do is to sign to give consent for the surgery"

Hilda trusted Jayden, she signed on the document and proceeded with the surgery.

The doctor put anaesthesia into Hilda and inflated her abdomen with gas and made a small incision to access her reproductive organ with the laparoscope and sealed her fallopian tubes. Basically, it was the female sterilization surgery for pregnancy prevention. However, Hilda was not aware of the purpose of the surgery. Seeing that Hilda has done the surgery, the 4 of them blindly follow.

After surgery, Jayden took them around for another tour. They were really enjoying the city as if they had just been to heaven.

A few days later, they have fully recovered.

Jayden introduced Kenji to the girls. He tells them he could speak Korean.

He has to go back to Korea to sign an important contract.

They will start their job tomorrow. Feeling excited. Hilda hugged Jayden and kissed him goodbye.

The next day, Kenji took them to the filming site.

To their horror, the managers told them they will get involved in a pornography shooting.

They stumbled in fears and were not willing to do it.

They told them they have signed a contract to be actresses, not a pornstar.

The directors are getting annoyed with the girls. He says, "You can cancel the contract. I will bring you to the chairman", he took them to the chairman.

The chairman took the copy of the contract and showed them, He said, "First, you need to give us back the money that we have paid you beforehand. You need to pay us the penalty cost, stated in the contract."

It shocked the girls to know the amount of the penalty is too high for them to bear.

The chairman continues, "In this contract, you have agreed to perform in any kind of scene that includes violence, sex, brutal, which requested by the directors"

Hilda contacted Jayden, but he was not answering.

The chairman says, "Each day you delay the filming, the penalty cost will be more."

They could not run away because they are in a country where they can't speak Japanese. They begged Kenji for help.

Kenji says, "You have just signed a contract with the biggest mafia in the country. It's better to obey, or you be death If you disobey."

Hilda asked, "They took us to hospital. What kind of surgery is that?"

Kenji tells them, "Contraceptive to avoid pregnancy."

The director was mad. He knew they could afford to pay and instructed the men to change the script of the film to shoot for a raped scene.

They grabbed the girls in the forest and tied them up. After the filming crew has completed the setup, The men dragged the females out from the van. Beat them up and raped them on the spot whilst the director is shooting the scene.

Hilda and her friends were lying on the ground. The men ripped off their clothes. They are feeling very weak after being gang-raped by a few men. A filming crew walked toward them and gave them towels to wipe and cover themselves. The men dragged into a van and the driver sent them home.

When they reached their hostel, they locked the girls in the hostel. The girls feel shaken, and they know they will have to continue to work as a pornstar after the director told them they have paid for at least ten projects.
