A/N: Arrgh dui qi for the short entry the last time -_- I'm disappointed with myself. But like I said, school had just finished plus I need to start packing since I'm moving to a place I don't know. So nervous! Plus no one is reviewing and it's sort of lowering my writing self confidence. That means that the character might be OOC.

"So how were you while I was filming out of the country?" Lian asked his junior, watching her as she ate.
Gong Xi was surprised from his question. Shang never cared about how she was when he was away. "It was fine. I filmed Box R with Shu Fang and just finished the first season," Gong Xi said happily, finishing her steak. She looked down at Lian's plate and saw that it was empty. That was fast, Gong Xi thought, for someone who hardly eats. Maybe he really was hungry.
"Oh, that's good," Lian said, resting his chin on his palm, "I was getting kind of worried since I haven't been receiving multiple messages that didn't make any sense. I guess you had everything under control?" Lian smirked.
Gong Xi gave him a look. Was he mocking me? "Well, I can't always be bothering you, right? You probably hate it every time I call."
His smirk turned into a smile. "Actually, I don't mind you calling me," he said. He opened his mouth to say more but Shu Fang came running up to them.
"Gong Xi, there's a hot springs here! Come relax with me and Qin," Shu Fang said excitedly, grabbing Gong Xi's hand.
Gong Xi looked unsure. She glanced at Lian to see if it was okay. He smiled then nodded. Shu Fang eagerly tugged Gong Xi away. As she left, Lian's smile dropped.
Yang's phone started to buzz. She checked it then looked at Shang, "It's the director, I got to go. Promise you won't do anything reckless." Shang gave her a fake smile. Yang sighed, knowing it would be useless to even try. She left, worried what would happen leaving Bu Po Shang and Dun He Lian alone in the same room.
Shang watched Dun He Lian carefully as he picked on his own food. A worker of the food court walked up to Lian with a sweet smile. Lian looked up. The worker gestured to the empty dishes and Lian allowed her to take it. She was probably wondering who he was eating with. She was probably hoping it was his manager. Shang wondered what Lian would do behind Gong Xi's back. He tried listening to the conversation closely.
"Excuse, are you done with these?" The worker asked, smiling sweetly at the handsome actor. Lian looked up and nodded, pushing the plates towards her, not showing any interest but still smiled kindly.
"Two plates, huh? Your manager left?" She asked hopefully. She stacked the plates and carried them.
"Um, no, it wasn't my manager," Lian said, "my girlfriend." He smiled at the girl's shocked expression. She quickly recovered.
"Girlfriend? Who's the lucky girl?" She asked, keeping a kind face but inside she was disappointed.
"Yeah, Gong Xi. In fact, I'm filming a movie with her. You should watch it once it releases." His smile grew bigger as he talked about Gong Xi.
"I will," the worker said softly, bowing to him, then left with the dishes. He seems happy with this girl, Gong Xi. His eyes lit up as he talked about her like he was in love, she thought, like he was the one lucky to have her.
"It's not nice to eavesdrop, Bu Po Shang," Lian said, his smile turning into a smirk once again. He got up from his seat and took Yang's chair.
"What do you want?" Shang growled, sitting back in his chair and crossing his arms.
Lian gave a short chuckle. "I should be asking you the same thing. Why were you eavesdropping?"
Shang raised his eyes to Lian's, trying to stare him down. He backed out too quickly for his own liking, not able to handle Lian's intense stare. Shang just settled for a glare then left the food court. The last thing he saw before he left was Dun He Lian picking up his cell phone but not before he sent Shang a friendly smile that mocked him. Shang tightened his hands into fists, not thinking clearly to pay attention at where he was going. Suddenly, he found himself in a hallway of the hot springs. Down the hallway near the women's hot spring stood Gong Xi, Vie Ghoul stood in front of her. She stood frozen in place, a towel in her hand.
Zhou Mi picked a wet strand of Gong Xi's hair. "Your hair is wet. It's so... erotic," Zhou Mi said, an evil look in his eyes.
"Gong Xi!" Shang yelled, trying to get her to snap out of it. "What the hell are you doing to her?"
"It's Bu Po Shang," one of the Vie Ghoul band members whispered to Zhou Mi.
"Yes, I know who he is," Zhou Mi said, trying not to sound irritated. "And isn't it obvious what I'm doing?" He said towards Shang, "I'm stealing everything from you. Your style, your music, your fans, and now your girlfriend."
That made Gong Xi snap out of her frozen state. "I am not his girlfriend! How dare you! How dare you call me those vile things!" She stomped her feet.
"You're getting mad at him calling you sexy?" Shang yelled at her in disbelief. "First, you're mad that I tell you that you have no sex appeal and now you're getting mad that someone is calling you sexy? Are you stupid?"
"Me, stupid? Ever since I moved out of that ridiculously expensive apartment, you couldn't even pay the rent because you don't know how! I had to work three jobs a day to pay for that apartment, plus feed you. You can't even take care of yourself!"
"Are you sure you're not his girlfriend? You two fight like you're a couple," Zhou Mi said, crossing his arms.
"Couple!" Shang and Gong Xi said, outraged.
Gong Xi gave a frustrated sigh. "Just stop!" She said firmly, "I am not Bu Po Shang's girlfriend. We are not even friends. I am... someone else's girlfriend. So if you don't mind, I would like to dry off and find my boyfriend." With that, she stomped off, heading for her room. A time like this, she was glad that she had to pretend for the public that Lian was her boyfriend.
Someone else's girlfriend? Boyfriend? So all of this is true, Dun He Lian and Gong Xi are dating, Shang thought, watching his old childhood friend and ex-girlfriend walk away into the arms of his enemy. But judging from Zhou Mi's attempt a few minutes ago, Shang rather she walk into the arms of Dun He Lian then this fake Zhou Mi who calls himself an artist. Unlike Dun He Lian, Zhou Mi is trying to ruin his image and take his place.
Shang glared at Zhou Mi. "You better not bother her again," he said, trying to make it low and menacing. "Or you will pay. I don't care if that ruins my image."
Zhou Mi just laughed, giving him a dark smirk. He gestured his bandmates to leave. They nodded, walking down the hall. "I'd like to see you try," Zhou Mi said in a low voice. He left with his bandmates to the studio.
Gong Xi sat on a chair behind the camera of the set, drinking a bottle of water. Her script was on her lap and opened. Lian sat a few feet from her, reading his own script. He had sense that something was troubling her but she just kept on insisting that she was fine after he had asked. Of course, he wasn't convinced. Gong Xi never liked burdening others with her personal problems. That's why she had went to the river to cry when she was little. She had made her own world where there were forest fairies and a perfect fairy prince in the form of Corn.
"Gong Xi, are you okay? We rushed out of the hot springs but no one was there. We heard someone yell your name so we thought you were in trouble," Shu Fang said.
Gong Xi smiled at them. "I'm fine. It was just a big misunderstanding," Gong Xi said. As Shang passed by them, she added, "A very big misunderstanding."
"Idiot! We were worried," Qin scolded. Gong Xi smiled, hearing how much they cared about her.
"Sorry," Gong Xi said.
An: So how was it? Please R&R! Click that big blue button down there and Dun He Lian's prince of the night or whatever will appear :P Ahh, Siwon and Donghae... when I watch and rewatch EC, I'm always thinking: Settle down, you two, she isn't Eunhyuk xD EUNSHIHAE FTW they're probably thinking that Ivy is Eunhyuk so they could act better. Fighting for Hyukkie... me and my imagination.
