Tom stood there , looking at the card with him.
Kat suddenly showed up and snatched it from him, tearing it to bits immediately.
"How dare you try to cheat on me with that lowlife!, You dare try to invite her over to the blue house?" She said angrily.
"She's not a lowlife" he replied in defense and Kat laughed.
"Really?, So now you defend her too?"
"I was just trying to invite her to come sing, nothing more, stop overthinking" he smiled and tried to touch her hair but she hit his hand away.
"Sing?, The last time I checked, you love violin, not songs" she said.
"As you can see, everyone loves her voice including me, I just...
"Stop lying Tommy!, Stop lying to me!, You've never looked at me the way you kept looking at her earlier, you stared till the glass cup fell from you, you stared so much when you were about to cut the cake too and I had to tap you to jolt you back to reality, you stared again when she was singing!, Aren't I beautiful?, You told me you love me and that's why I agreed to date you Tommy!, Why are you tryna break my heart it's unfair!!" She cried loudly, tears brimming on her face.
"Kat, try to understand...
"Don't tell me that! cheat!, I hate you!!!!" She screamed and left him angrily.
"Kat!" Tom rushed after her.

Starr got to a balcony with Lotus and faced her.
"When did you come?" She asked.
"So you were going to collect the invitation?" He asked seriously.
"I just thought that... it's harmless and...
"You don't get it surely, he was staring at you throughout the party!" He said.
"It's because...I'm pretty" she smiled.
"Are you that happy that he was staring?" He said.
"No..I mean...
"And why would you try to take the invitation card?" He interrupted.
She started looking at him without saying a word again.
If jealously smells like perfume right now, the whole balcony will be filled with fragrance.
"I came here because I got the hunch, dad has the invitation but he wasn't chanced to come, I had to steal his card and come here only to find out out he's staring at you, it's so annoying and he proceeded to giving you card...how ridiculous, he's not even that handsome and he's...
Lotus stepped closer and hugged him tightly, cutting him off.
"It's good to see you acting jealous, soulmate" she said.
"I missed you, we haven't seen each other throughout today remember?" She said and he smiled before hugging her back, rubbing her hair.
"I missed you too" he said.
"I love your outfit" she said.
"I love yours more, you look more stunning" he replied, breaking the hug to look at her very well.
"Right, Anita did my makeup" she said.
"Anita?"
"My ghost sister" she replied and he gasped.
"Are you a ghost too?"
"No"
"Then tell me what you are exactly, stop keeping me in suspense please" he said curiously
"I'm a... I'll tell you later" she replied with a tricky smile.
"Why did you call me soulmate earlier?" He asked.
"You'll find out later" she replied and he sighed.
"I hate later" he said.
"I love later" she replied and they both laughed.
"Where do you live?" He asked.
"You'll know my place once we seal the bond" she replied.
"Which bond?"
"You'll find out later" she replied.
"Lotus.." he said frustratingly and she pouted.
"I'm sorry but I just have to do it step by step" she said and stepped closer again.
She placed her palm on his chest, feeling his heartbeats.
"What?" He asked.
"Your heartbeats rhymes with mine" she said and took his hand, she placed it on her chest too and they stared at each other as they stayed still.
"Did I..meet you two nights ago?, In my car?" He asked.
"Was it real?" He asked.
"Lotus!" Martin's voice made them disengage.
Start grabbed her hand again and took her out, meeting Martin by the door.
"Starr?, When did you get here?" He asked surprisingly.
"Not long ago, with dad's invitation card" he smiled and Martin looked at their hands.
"Let's go" Starr smiled and led the way with Lotus.

MELODY MUSICAL HIGH**
"Welcome back !" Mr Roger said loudly and happily as they all settled down.
"The rest of today should be for resting, it's not easy" Bluey complained.
"If you wanna rest, feel free to go back home" Mr Roger said and everyone went silent.
"Thanks for making this school proud, the president is very proud of the performance, he wasn't at the party but he saw the video and was totally swept off his feet, he commented especially on Lotus" he continued and Ophelia smirked.
"Lotus?"
"Yes Mr Roger" she stood.
"Here" he said, pointing out an invitation card.
Lotus stepped out and took it.
"The president himself sent it, he wants you to come to the blue house to sing" Mr Roger said
👥Wow!!
"Blue house?" Lotus replied.
"Of course, aren't you happy?, You might be becoming the next prima donna at this rate" Mr Roger replied and Lotus smiled naively as she went back to her seat.
She kept staring at the card, it's different from the one Tom tried to give her the other time.
FROM PRESIDENT TAN MIN was written on it.
They had just one class before Mr Roger let them go.
"Babe!, You're so lucky!, You'll be entering the blue house!, Only influential people are lucky to enter" Constance said happily.
"Blue house?" Lotus said again.
"Don't tell me you don't know what blue house is again" Rhythm said
"I don't... know" Lotus replied.
The three girls started looking at her surprisingly as she tucked the invitation into her backpack.
Martin noticed the awkward situation and made to go rescue her but Starr was already there.
"Lotus I need to tell you something" he said, taking her out.
Martin relented.
Yolanda stared at Lotus as Starr took her out, no matter how much she tries not to think about it, it kept coming, she finds her bizarre, a lot.
"Who also thinks Lotus is weird?, I mean...it's obvious" Rhythm said.
"Maybe" Yolanda said.
"She's just naive, nothing more" Constance smiled.
Starr got to the hallway with Lotus and faced her.
"Blue house is the president's mansion, the most gorgeous mansion on Korea" he explained.
"I never knew, it looks strange that I don't know right?" She said sadly.
"It's not your fault" he replied and she nodded.
"Don't start feeling bad, it's really not your fault" he said and she nodded again.
"So I'm going to the blue house after all" she said .
"The president invited you this time around, you should go" he replied and she smiled.
"If you tell me not to go I won't go" she said and he smiled, taking her right hand.
He caressed it fondly.
"It's a crime to disobey the president, ok?" He said.
"Ok" she smiled.
*******
A BUSY ROAD**.
Ophelia got down from her car and when she saw no sign of Kat, she got her phone and dialled her line.
"Hey Ophelia!" Kat said.
"I'm at the road already" she replied.
"I'm right behind you" Kat replied and her car stopped behind Ophelia's.
Kat came out and walked to her.
"Did you get it?"
"Of course" Ophelia replied and got the card from the car.
"Wow you're smart" Kat smiled as she took it from her.
"I took it without anyone's knowledge" Ophelia smiled.
"Without this, she won't be able to enter the blue house" Kat said.
"If she gets the chance to sing at the blue house, her chances of becoming the next prima donna will become higher, I can't risk it" Ophelia replied and Kat tore the invitation immediately.
"Job done" she said.
"Sure" Ophelia replied and stuck hands with her.
They went their separate ways immediately.

LUTHER'S MANSION**
Martin met his mum sleeping on the couch when he got home, her bruises aren't that much and that's because his dad has not come home since last night.
He bent beside her and touched her hair, smiling lightly.
"I'll pay you back for everything you're enduring cos of me, I love you so much mum" he said and kissed her forehead .
He went in after that took off his clothes.
He stood in front of the mirror, looking at himself.
His wounds healed again and it's getting suspicious.
Since Lotus arrived, if he goes to school with wounds, he comes back healed.
And he has to admit that he finds her weird too in some ways.
He remembered how she was smiling while watching the fireworks earlier and was unaware of when a large smiled crept to his face.
"So cute" he muttered.
He looked at his body in the mirror again
His wounds might have healed but the scars and bruises are still there, making his body unattractive.
He left his spot and put on something else then got his phone and sat on the bed.
His eyes stayed glued on Lotus's number and he was unaware of when he clicked it and dialled her line.

LOTUS'S MANSION**
"Why do you even love noodles?" Anita asked as Lotus are noodles hungrily at the dinning.
"The scent, I love the scent" she replied and Anita smiled.
"So... you're going to the blue house gosh!, Should I follow you?" Anita said.
"No thanks, I can't risk your talkativeness" Lotus replied and Anita pouted.
Her phone rang and she dropped her chopsticks before picking.
"Hey Martin!"
"Lotus, you home already?".
"Of course, you?"
"Just getting home" he replied
"Did you eat?" She asked.
"No, but I'll do that shortly, you are already?"
"I'm eating noodles right now" she replied.
"You love noodles so much" he said.
"Of course" she replied.
"I'll eat noodles too then, and....."
"What?"
"Can we..... hangout tonight?, I really want to hangout with you, please don't say no" he begged.
"Hangout?" She said.
"Em.....
"No" Anita whispered.
The news that came up on TV made Lotus stand
"Martin I'll call you back!" She said and hung up
She ran to the TV with Anita.
Mr Do and Do Hyun were displayed on TV though their pictures were blurred.
News said they went to the police station by themselves and confessed their evil deeds.
They've been arrested afterwards and they'll be sent to jail immediately.
Lotus looked at Anita and they vanished immediately.
*****
POLICE STATION**
People threw all sorts of trash at Mr Do and his daughter as they were taken out of the police station.
People are ready to tear them apart if not for the cops
They're back to their senses right now and they look regretful.
Do Hyun is crying as the crowd threw things at them, calling them names that befits their crimes.
Lotus looked at Anita and Anita smiled.
"I want to go see my parents one more time" she said and they appeared in front of the mansion immediately.
They went in and met the couple in the living room, soothing each other as they watched the news
"eomma" Anita cried, trying to touch them but she wasn't able to do it.
"appa!!'
Lotus hugged her and she continued crying loudly as they left the house.
They went to the park afterwards and ate ice cream together till it's dark.
Anita rode almost all the rides and when they finished having fun, grim reaper appeared.
Time stopped immediately as he walked to them.
Lotus was already crying, same as Anita.
"Now is the time" he said, spreading his palm forward.
"eonni!!" Anita cried, walking slowly to him.
Lotus kept holding her.
"Anita..." She cried bitterly.
"take care of yourself ok?, Don't feel too lonely, I'll always be with you" Anita cried sorrowfully too.
"Don't go" Lotus said, still holding her.
Her hands started slipping off from her.
"Anita..."
"Seal the bond with Starr as fast as possible, make him yours quickly ok?, I love you Lotus" she said as her hand slipped away from Lotus finally.
She stood beside the grim reaper and waved with tears in her eyes.
"Goodbye eonni"
A soft wind blew and right in front of her, Anita vanished together with the grim reaper.
Lotus squatted and cried loudly as time started running again.
The people passing by stared at her as she cried profusely.
"Anita" she whispered.
"I miss you already... I miss you"
"Lotus" Starr's voice made her look up slowly.
"Starr" she sniffed.
Starr bent in front of her, pains obvious in his eyes.
"Why are you crying?" He asked but she only cried more.
He held his chest, sitting on the ground as another round of pains gripped him.
Lotus's eyes widened and she quickly wiped her tears.
"Your heart, it hurts right?" She said, touching his chest.
"It has been hurting since some minutes ago, I should have passed out but I didn't, I do pass out anytime it happens" he said.
The pains had stopped.
"You didn't pass out because you're near me, and your heart ached because I was crying" she said.
"Why?"
She smiled sadly and helped him up.
"I'm sad, make me happy" she said, changing the subject.
Starr looked around the park, wondering what they'd do.
"Why are you here though?" She asked.
"I do come here often, just to watch the playing kids, I do come here with my grandma when she was still alive" he replied
"She died already?" She said surprisingly.
"Yes, she died last month after my eighteenth birthday" he replied, rubbing his necklace.
Lotus noticed and smiled.
The pendant is the shape of the feather tattoo on her shoulder.
Her phone rang and she checked to see Martin.
"Hey Martin" she smiled.
"Where are you?, I was talking about hanging out remember?"
"Oh...that's true I'm at the park.."she replied
"How cheerful" Starr said, watching the kids
"Is that Starr?" Martin asked.
"Yes I'm here with him" Lotus replied and Martin hung up immediately.
"The girl I do see in my dreams have the feather on my pendant tattooed on her shoulder, she has a long hair like you, same voice too, she plays the violin but I've not seen her face for once,but two nights ago I dreamt about you" Starr said, facing her
"You came to my dreams and hugged me in my car, you kissed my eyes, chin and neck, I even woke with an hickey, you told me you're the girl in my dreams and it felt so real...was it really a dream?, Or....was it real?" He said.
Lotus remembered Anita's words again.
"Make him yours, seal the bond"
She pulled him closer by his shirt and he bent to her level.
She was about to kiss his lips when Martin appeared.
"Guys!" He called out and she let him go.
"Martin" Lotus smiled, facing him.
Martin made to hug her but she stopped him.
Starr kept looking on sheepishly, thinking about what almost happened.
He smiled and bit his lip slightly.
Martin looked at Lotus questioningly, wondering why she stopped him from hugging her.
"Let's ride the mini cars" Starr suggested.
"Mini cars?" Lotus said and Starr nodded.
She held Starr with her right hand and Martin with her left hand, taking them into the closed park.
They got their cars and started racing but Lotus kept leading.
She knows nothing about driving but she's just doing it as her head says and it kept working till the end.
They rode the slides and played video games till 9.
Lotus couldn't forget Anita throughout, her face kept appearing everywhere and she had to employ a lot of control , that's why she didn't cry.
They left the park at past 9 and went to their cars.
"You go first" Starr said.
"Sure, you guys should get home safely, bye!" Lotus replied, getting in her car.
She drove off.
"Starr" Martin called when he made to enter his car.
"Huh?" Starr replied
"Do you feel anything for her?" Martin asked.
"Why?" Starr replied.
"I like her" Martin said.
Starr never blinked.
"I like her a lot" Martin further said before getting in his car.
He drove away and Starr sighed.
He was about to get in his car too when another car appeared suddenly.
Before he could process anything, he was injected and he went unconscious, he was quickly tossed into the black car.
"Young master!" His driver came out and the black car drove away roughly.
"Young master!" The driver yelled and got back into the car, he started chasing the black car.
