Red Stains

Once Wu Hexie opened the door, the girl immediately gasped. Choi Kazuki stiffened on his spot.

"Oh no! I left the aircon on too?! Ugh!" Wu Hexie gasped. Kazuki could only long legs walking towards where he was hiding.

He heard an object being plopped on the side of the bed and Wu Hexie sitting on it while taking off her shoes.

"No aircon tonight then," He heard Wu Hexie grumbled to herself.

"Cursed electricity bills!" She huffed. She then placed her shoes on her shoe rack and and throw her used socks on the hamper. As the girl girl squatted down to place her shoes on the bottom rack, Kazuki saw her red hair and small frame. He didn't see her face due to his position under the bed.

So she really was thin now. No wonder his mother was worried and was pleading him to take care of Wu Hexie and ordering him fatten her up. And she really rebleached her hair and dyed it red, making his mother in law furious at this woman.

Wu Hexie stood up and walked towards the sliding doors.

'Oh no, did she noticed the unlocked door to her balcony?' Kazuki thought.

Not long after, he saw a rumpled shirt dumped into the hamper stationed near the bathroom. And another piece of clothing haphazardly thrown on to it.

Kazuki instinctively looked away from the white 34-b cup sports bra but took a second look if not for the fact that it was covered in red stains. He wasn't a pervert, he thought to himself, but he was curious. Those red stains looked familiar to him.

Kazuki heard Wu Hexie shuffled around the room, he dared not to look at the girl as he was already invading her privacy without her knowing. Yes she doesn't have to know his existence in this room.

Choi Kazuki was thankful to Nanny Lin for keeping the house tidy even in hard to reach areas like under the bed. There weren't any dust, and for that, his sensitive nose didn't act up.

Wu Hexie was taking a while in the vanity table. Whatever was she doing, she was taking a lot of time. Kazuki was bored and was itching to get the hell out of this room. He would sometimes hear her groan in pain and grumble about evil cats.

Then moments later, she walked around the room some more, opening and closing the closet. Kazuki congratulated himself for not hiding there. In his peripheral vision, he saw her walk towards the bathroom and locked the bathroom door.

Not long after, Kazuki heard rushing water. And after making sure that the coast was clear, he got out from his hiding spot and checked the clothes bin. He didn't dare touch the bra, instead, he checked the ruffled clothe. It was a blue spaghetti strapped top with blue and white ribbon surrounding the middle. And this piece of clothe was heavily stained. If not for the striped part in the ribbon, the red stains won't be noticeable. The same stains on the bra.

He felt a jolt in his spine. They looked like blood. But he was still not sure. They didn't look like ketchup. If only his nose was working, he could have confirmed the stains to be blood due to its metallic smell. But it was not working at the moment.

Without further adieu, Choi Kazuki got out of Wu Hexie's room and slipped back into his own. He didn't know he was holding his breath once he was in the confines of his monochromatic room.

Kazuki immediately opened his computer and started researching and seriously read the reports on Wu Hexie's activities the past year, without skipping any words nor details.

And that's when he got a phone call from their band's manager.

"Yes?"

[Have you checked the news?]

"Judging from your tone, it's another dating scandal." Kazuki boredly guessed. He continued surfing the web about these blood sucking demons.

[Uh..yes..and you probably know who is involved..]

"Park fucking Jinhai." Kazuki grumbled.

[Yes, as usual. But his new girlfriend is a big shot.]

"Oh? And who might that be?" Kazuki didn't really care who Jinhai dates.

He's been playing with women's hearts since they were high schoolers. Ever since Park Jinhai caught his mom cheating and eloping with another man.

[She's from our rival Entertainment Agency.]

"Curious..." Kazuki's interest was piqued.

Aside from being a casanova and face of the group, Park Jinhai was very competitive. So it was unusual for him to date someone from a label that was considered rival of our own agency.

[You know the playgirl designer and model? Heir of the Wang Corporation.] The other line ask.

Kazuki paused for a second to process the news.

[Lihua Andrea Wang!] The LSS manager andwered for him.

Park Jinhai finally got the Wang Lihua? As far as he remembers, that girl always reject his friend.

"How the fuck did that happen?" Kazuki was surprised.

[My thoughts exactly! Anyway, there will be an urgent meeting tomorrow morning regarding this pressing matters. The media are going crazy with this report and Park Jinhai will be roasted tomorrow!]

Their manager was aghast with the situation. Part of him was happy with the huge boost of publicity and the other was mortified because the girl involved was an Entertainment Royalty.

"Copy. I'll be there and witness Park Jinhai battling it out with Uncle Kazuhiro," Kazuki massaged his temples.

He briefly checked his social media accounts and sure enough, Park Jinhai and Wang Lihua was trending in all platforms. There were pictures of him hugging Wang Lihua in a bar called Club Luna.

"Club Luna huh? That's odd..." Kazuki muttered.

After reading some news articles, he resumed to inspecting Wu Hexie's whereabouts the past few months. She was frequently seen at Sol Cafè. Apparently she officially works there as pianist with normal pay plus free food and drinks.

"Why the fuck does she work? She's the Thrid Young Lady of the Wu Corporation," Choi Kazuki was baffled by this piece of information. The girl is literally rich.

Her friends, Wang Lihua, Song Mayumi, Minato Kimiko and Zhang Dongfei were also listed as workers there. And surprisingly these five ladies were the owners of this Cafè.

Some information crafted in the email were ordinary at least. But there were months where no entries were written. What happened within these time period?

And he has to investigate what happened between his mother and Wu Hexie ten years ago.

"Damn it, Wu Hexie! Just what happened to you?" Choi Kazuki cursed under his breath.

When Kazuki finally felt tired, he shut his computer down and made his way to his bed.

Today was a long day. And tomorrow will be longer.
