The commotion at school was insane. Worse than insane! Wren had no idea what was going on at first but the crowd of people who gathered in the cafeteria, screaming someone's name warned her that she did not want to be there. As she walked by, she slowed down, looking in the same direction as everyone else, spotting the set up stage and a single man under a light, strumming a guitar and crooning. Oh. That's what all the commotion was about.

"And now, for our grand finale, the one person who can answer all of Mr Wik's trivia questions will win a band tee with his signature on it!"

Wren rolled her eyes, mentally going "and the crowd goes wild!" in her head while the crowd actually went wild. Along with a couple of her friends. "Wren! Wren, don't you know who that is?"

Turning to the girl who went by Tweet, she responded in a flat tone. "Another boy hell bent on stealing the hearts of thousands so he can pay the bills?"

"Oh my god, Wren! It's WiK! Don't be a spoil sport! He's soooooo cute! You have to look at him! Tell me he's not cute!"

"He's perfectly fine--for being a feelings moocher."

Tweet shook her head. "You don't get it, do you? He used to go to school here."

Wren turned her eyes to her friend. "And? Everyone goes to school in some fashion. There's nothing special about that. But you want to know what is special? Letting all these people believe that they have a chance with him. Hell, even encourages it because that's how he makes money. Sell the belief that you can be with him, and everyone is climbing hand over fist to buy the next new album. Or his Merch, or whatever guitar he says is good. He's an actor and he's playing to the crowd. So if you want to enjoy the fantasy, enjoy it. But don't buy into it, okay? You're smarter than that."

She went on to class, not even taking a second look.


*****

Having been convinced to go out to karaoke (as Tweet sadly, didn't win the shirt), Wren chose the blue halter-top maxi. It was hot out with no sign of relief yet in nighttime Bangkok. Cute and lightweight, she decided to pull her hair up off her neck and frame her face with a few ringlets. Ready for a night on the town, she joined her friends in one of the bar booths, filled with drink and food, they all took turns on the mic, making a bit of a game out of it. When it was Wren's turn, she decided to go with the Disney-themed songs and started her rendition of "Kiss the girl."

It just so happened that she caught sight of said pompous boy in the hall, strolling around the rooms. And there was some eye contact. Deciding to play it up since her friends hadn't noticed yet, she decided to sing to him and tease him as well. "My oh my! Look like the boy too shy
Ain't gonna kiss the girl."

Part of him did these gigs at his old college to encourage people to follow their dreams. Yet, there was another part that just wanted to do the stay in school kids finish your degree publicity video and just be done with it. The Trivia was never his idea, just something his publicist insisted on. It wore him out honestly. It was part of the life he chose though. He was swept in the crowd far too much to notice any one in particular, he was used to the lights and the screaming fans.

Later on since he was back home, he did decide to go to a bar, who knows maybe he would mic up himself and sing a cover. He had his drink in his hand and was making the rounds visiting with bar patrons and signing napkins if he was asked to. Then he noticed the woman in the blue dress and singing at him? Well okay. Aside from being WiK, he was the youngest son of a very prideful family. He wasn't going to be called out like that and balk.

He made his way up taking the mic and handing it to one of her friends and leaning in giving her a soft kiss. If that is what she was asking for, she got it.

Any other guy probably would have recoiled and hissed at being slapped across the face like that, but this was Kim. What was his reaction? Laughing. " You taunt people from afar, then when you get just what you asked for you scream, spit and hit?" he shook his head and brought his hand out patting her friend on the shoulder.

He brought his tongue out licking the blood at the corner of his lip. " You shouldn't assume I don't speak English, no more than you should assume you know dick about me." he said in English even if it was heavily accented. He gave a nod to her friends and then pushed the door open to exit, and letting it close almost on Wren.

So much for that, she seemed to be just like the rest of them, wild assumptions. Even if hers were not of the adoring type.

He was tired and too tired to bounce back at some yappy broad who didn't know what she was talking about.

He was outside smoking when the kerfuffle broke out, and though he had absolutely no investment in the woman, it wasn't his style to let people get manhandled like that.

Flicking the cigarette onto the side walk he casually stepped over freeing Wren easily from the grip. Then he did what Kim does in situations like this and proceeded to whip ass right there in the street.

When the last of the pains in the ass were laid to the cement he flagged a taxi down quick enough all but shoving her inside before getting in beside her. " Tell him where you are going." he said pulling out cash and handing it to the driver ahead of time.

He took out a handkerchief and handed it to her with out saying another word. He would get her home then cab it back to his hotel and clean himself up. This night though.

He too was still, though taking in the surroundings. Great, the part of town was a real shit pile. He had planned on just having the cab take her to where ever she was going and drop her off outside and then go about his business. At this hour in this part of town he'd have to walk her in to make sure she didn't run into any more trouble.

He closed his eyes sighing heavily. Here he was sitting in a cab with a woman he didn't know and really didn't want to be around. Bleeding and tired. His eyes shifted to her, and she was crying looking like he was going to eat her alive. Jesus Christ. Well, whatever it was almost over and he could go about his thing.

Once they got to the place he stepped out of the cab, and went around opening her door for her. " I am not here to hurt you." he said flatly. A bit annoyed that he even had to say something like that.

Out of habit he started to move his hand to help her out of the cab but stopped himself. Last thing he needed was some chick screaming about assault. He didn't even make eye contact with her in fact.

As she made the offer he looked at her. " I'll walk you to your door and make sure you get inside." he said his tome still a bit flat but it was less defensive than it had been.

" I don't need any false accusations and it is not safe for you to invite a stranger into your house." he said closing the cab door behind her and once they were clear knocking on the side to let the driver know he could go.

Of course at that time of night they did get a few lookie loos, to which Kim just pulled his hoodie up over his head. "Fucking people, just mind your own business." he said under his breath. And there was the reason he was wearing a hoodie even with it being hot as hell.

The hiding wasn't something new to Kim, he did it all the time to shake his security detail. They annoyed him as well. But it would always end the same he'd give them the slip then when ever he returned back from where ever he went they would blah blah his ear off about him shaking them and not taking his own safety seriously. They had to be kidding right? They did know who his father was and who he had been trained by his entire life right?

His social media had nothing personal on it, it was all WiK and concert pictures and uploads of samples of new songs he would be putting out. Maybe an odd picture here and there of him vacationing on a beach or wearing a ridiculously over sized beany hat at a ski resort that was it. Kim thought about Wren and oddly enough had wondered if she was doing okay after that night but then let it go. That is what he was supposed to do after all right?

" Get the fuck off me!" Kim's voice could be heard bellowing through the doors of the conference room that Kinn had Wren in. Unless he was yelling at someone to let him go which he was now, Kim was usually pretty quiet when he made his appearance at the main house. There was a few thuds from outside in the hall which would give Kinn the indication of what usually happened when the bodyguards refused to let Kim do as he would.

Then the doors were pushed open with quite the force and Kim came in. It was clear he had not let his make up crew touch him before he came as those bruises were a lovely shade of deep purple in some spots and various shades of yellow and green in others. His finger was pointed at Kinn. " We need to talk. Now " he didn't even look to Wren. This was embarrassing for him as a guy and as a person in general.

He actually had tried the tea bag trick but he is very impatient, and got disturbed for work things while he was trying to do the trick. That was his life though.

His hand extended to shove Kinn's shoulder. " I am talking to you now." he said still having no sort of eye contact with Wren as of now. " Aside from the absurdity of the idea of a woman of that size doing anything remotely like this to my face it's damned insulting." If Kinn wanted to do this here with her in the room fine. Kim didn't give a shit either way. Aside from the fact that Kim was a prime example of the 'you should see the other guys' expression.

" Leave her alone, she has little to do with the state of my face. I won't stand by while a group of men attacks anyone. Sorry, I am not like the rest of you." Kim even went as far to snatch up the pack of cigarettes on the table taking one out and lighting it up before tossing the pack back on the table. " You would have known all of that if you had asked me before you acted."

In Kim's defense he never exchanged names with Wren. " You can call me for any other stupid shit around this place but you couldn't for that?" he snipped back. " I have told you all that my life is my business. So what if it blew up on media you think shit you guys do hasn't in one form or another?" it all came down to him trying to pull away from the family, there was still that choker collar on him and the tighter it was pulled the more he fought it.

Kim turned to look to Wren " Could you not? Please. Not right now." still trying to protect her, and he wasn't even sure why he was. Just that he would die on this hill he was on right now.

He looked to Kinn. " I said you need to leave her alone. Like you said her name isn't even important enough. She's just a lady who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. If there is such a scandal, it's me you guys should take it up with. I acted on my own volition. It has nothing to do with her."

He walked over leaning down picking up Wren's back pack and handing it to her before taking her by the wrist and walking for the door.

Kim just cut his eyes over his shoulder toward Kinn. As much as he wanted to bark back at him, he was right. Fuck him for that too.

He was brisk as he walked her through the hotel and to the doors to the drive way, snatching his car keys out of the hands of a valet that was there. His car was still in the circle and he opened the passenger door for her. " Come on, I'll get you out of here." his voice was gentle as he spoke that time he pressed the button on the key chain to start the car waiting for her to get inside.

He was a little on the same page as she was, just wanting some place quiet and away from all the shit that had just broke loose.

He got in and shifted the car to drive. Getting her away from the hotel was a priority.

" I have a Fiat at my place in Italy." he commented back " They are nice cars." and there was that nervous reaction of his stomach growling. He glanced to her.

" I am hungry, do you want to eat hot pot with me?" He knew places around that were not affiliated in any way with the family.

He turned the corner before looking to her. " No, and I am only saying that because you are going to need a new apartment." he said. " Unless you don't mind paparazzi making you late for everything ever for the next year or so. If asshole could find out where you live you can be certain they have too."

He was quiet a moment still having not loosened up much but he answered " That one is a cherry red classic Spyder 124, slim white wall tires with white leather interior." he could have stopped there but went on. " I also have a gray Pulse SUV they're pretty popular there so it blends in well."

He turned the car and parked it in a small parking lot where a small hot pot restaurant was. " Look..." he rested his hand on the steering wheel. " Since this is a little my fault that this is happening to you, I'll be your land lord. I have an apartment in the city, just two bus stops away from the college. You can pay me what you can. No one knows it's mine and it has security so you don't have to worry at night." he brought his hand up rubbing the back of his neck.

" Good thing I don't drive it in the US." he said looking to her with a little smirk. " I really like it, even the 500's can be nice around the town cars. Low key."

" I didn't offer because you asked." he said plainly. " It's Bangkok, I am sure you have been here long enough to know that places to live here that aren't a hostile are hard enough to come by. None the less the choice is still yours." he looked to her " I am not WiK right now, I am just Kim. So, you can call me that."


" It's a nice break away from it all for a while." He liked the stage lights and the fans, they gave him energy that was better than any drug known to man. He also liked his quiet though, valued privacy and having a life that wasn't part of the newest issue of whatever magazine had paid the highest price for the story.

He sighed dramatically, " Oh, I guess you could afford it if you were taking the apartment. It is already furnished and all."
