Chapter 120 - Where Is The Bastard?

At the party, Taemeng smiled said hello to his fans.

He showed Jenell fixing Kaiden’s suit, smoothing down the any wrinkles. Kaiden fixed her hair in return. Then he moved the phone camera to Heeang who was on his phone sucking a lollipop. When he saw the camera on him, he smiled and greeted their fans. Next was Kola putting lip gloss on Star and Mikey watching. Lisa and Allie were talking to each other and Manager Bon and Manager Ling were drinking from their glass.

“This party has good music, don’t you think?” Taemeng smiled as he listened to Symmony’s single playing, “It is too bad, isn’t it? Maybe we could have a reunion for you all.”

The chat flooded with hearts and crying emotes. He smirked and winked, earning blushing faces and melting hearts. He walked around to show the other places in the hotel Hosh had emptied. The hotel was the same one Suu Jin and Xiong Shun had occupied before.

So, Taemeng knew the layout enough.

“Hey! You,” A security guard walked up to the male dancer, “You can’t be recording what is going on here.”

“Why not?”

“Privacy.”

Taemeng frowned and looked at his chat. Smiling, he said his goodbyes and turned off the screen. Putting the phone in his pocket, he stared at the guard. The man nodded and Taemeng continued walking around, live streaming the entire time.

‘No one needed to know, right?’

The song stopped and the lights dimmed before it brightened to announce the star of the show: CEO Hosh. People were clapping, smiling, and the man of the hour looked like he was the star of the show. He wasn’t wrong and that only made Taemeng narrowed his eyes.

“Ah Tae,” Star went over to take a hold of his bicep, “We will be preforming. Are you still live?” She whispered.

“Yes. Star,” the dancer smiled, “Fighting.”

That earned a bright smile and Star went to walk up to the makeshift stage to join her friends. Jenell winked at Kaiden who was standing beside Taemeng. The dancer bumped the raven-haired male’s shoulder and they laughed.

“I can’t believe I am letting my girls do this,” Bonnie threw another drink back and Ling Mei did the same.

“Mm.”

“I mean, look at his damn face! He is drooling all over the floor!”

Bonnie gritted out and wanted to throw the glass in her hand at that man’s head. Hosh and his disgusting self had walked closer, practically right against the stage. The girls, for the sake of this event, wore glittery gold short dresses to show their legs. Lisa, the one brave enough to be the bait, smiled and even ran her fingers along the man’s face.

Lisa did everything she could to gain the man’s attention and she was doing a great job. During one of the performance where they where lying on the floor, she felt fingers glide over her thigh. She batted her eyes and continued the performance, but fear was trickling into her blood.

‘Focus. Do it for your sisters. Do it for the victims. I can handle this.’

“Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, Forever Mister. Stay, stay, stay, stay, Forever Mister,” Shinny Dolls sang shaking their hips and sending kisses to the audience.

As they finished, people cheered and clap. Lisa was waiting for Hosh to come and asked her to join him in his room. Something similar to what Gina had told them about the incident. She mingled with the others, enjoyed the conversations and made sure to check in with her manager.

She found Wen Dong and Ping Ping on one of the couches. The muscled man was chatting with a female actress and the pinkette was frowning deeply. When the actress left them alone, Lisa saw Wen Dong patting the boy. Both stood up and Lisa smiled walking toward them.

“Ah Dong, Ah Ping,” she greeted through the loud music.

“Ah! Lisa! The performance was great!” The man leaned in to whisper, “Where did that bastard go?”

“I’m not sure,” she frowned, “I can’t find him anywhere. I was expecting an invite, but nothing.”

“He was touching you,” Ping frowned, “A very bad man!”

Lisa grinned. Looks like Ping was starting to warm up to her a bit more now, and that made her happy. She knew the pinkette did not like her very much, so to hear the concern warmed her heart.

“I’m gonna see where the girls are,” Lisa smiled and waved them goodbye.

By the time she looked over, Jenell and Star were gone. She avoided all the drinks offered, but she understood the girls wanting to drink water to quench their thirst. Yet…

‘Where are they?!’

She quickly looked around the bottom floor, the top floor, but there were no signs of those two girls. Kola thankfully were beatboxing with a few fellow idols, which eased her heart. She pulled out her phone to call Taemeng to receive the voicemail. Kaiden had the same result. She tried calling her manager, but the music was so loud, she wasn’t sure Manager Bon could hear her.

Up on the second floor, she tried to find where the others were. As she was texting the group, arms wrapped around her and she was being pulled away from the rails. She tried to pull away, scream, but the hand wrapped around her mouth and a pill was forced in. Her body dropped and her head lolled.

Lisa was dragged down the hall to a door. People looked over, asked if she was okay, but she couldn’t say anything. Whoever grabbed her waved off their concerns and she was picked up into arms that were not familiar. She heard the door opened and she was placed down gently on the bed. Her head lolled to her left to see Star had her mouth covered and her big brown eyes were watery.

Lisa turned to her right to see Jenell’s mouth was also covered, but her eyes were closed.

The doors opened and closed again.

“Mmm. What a banquet I will have,” Hosh licked his lips and glanced at all three before rubbing up and down Lisa’s legs, “I will start with you, pretty Lisa.”

The man paused and his beady eyes narrowed.

“You! Where is the other girl?”
