Renjun was quiet after that little outbreak, it was only 4:30 in the morning and Hyunsoo was still waiting for his response, he wasn't even fully out of sleep and the room was dimly lit by the slight bit of sunlight that was yet to lighten the room.

"Are you mad at me?" Hyunsoo finally asked the question that had been troubling her and Renjun's eyes shot up to look at her. His eyes softened, realising that the girl was worried about his response to the news and he only held her hands to assure her.

"I'm not mad, I'm just, I don't know, I just wanted to live a normal life and not have to hide when I go out there," Renjun confessed, his thumb brushing over her skin repeatedly to reassure the girl.

"They don't know who you are though," Hyunsoo said and Renjun raised his eyebrows.

"They don't?" Renjun asked.

"If they did they wouldn't have gone out hunting all of the social media accounts, even searching through mine to see if they can find anything about you, you live so low profile that they find it hard, also the picture that they saw, it's mostly my face in it," Hyunsoo told the boy who suddenly scoffed out a smirk.

"That's cause you were all up in my face," Renjun said and chuckled to himself while Hyunsoo had her eyes wide open.

"Be glad I hid most of your face!" Hyunsoo raised her voice making the boy crack even more as he giggled.

"You know what, next time instead of worrying so much I'll just send a full size portfolio of yours out to the world," Hyunsoo said, feeling herself get a little pissed as the boy mocked her antiques, he held onto her, pulling  her into his embrace as his hands wrapped themselves tight around her waist.

"You don't have to be sorry, I know that you care about me but if it has to be done it will be, I just know that I'm happy around you and that's enough, even if our little moments get caught by those outside," Renjun said against her ears as her hair tickled the side of his neck.

She pulled away, their faces inches apart and Hyunsoo inspected his smile while he gazed at her.

"You've changed since you met me," she said, noticing way too many differences in the boy who was once stoic and self centered.

"More than changed I only sense your personality brushing on me," Renjun said, nudging his nose on hers before getting off the bed.

"You wanna color your hair?" Hyunsoo suddenly asked while Renjun tried combing down the few messy strands of his long hair with his fingers.

"Dye?" Renjun asked back and Hyunsoo nod.

"Why all of a sudden?" Renjun asked and she pursed her lips.

"Well it's obvious the netizens are gonna do their best to hunt down a boy with a beautiful brown mullet, might as well shift it a bit," Hyunsoo said and Renjun simply watched the girl.

"Also I think you'd look hot," Hyunsoo said and the way she said the words effortlessly got Renjun choking on air and he cleared his throat before taking out one of the towels in his closet.

"You really know how to run your mouth don't you?" Renjun asked monotone making Hyunsoo smirk as she clearly saw him flustered.

"You like that don't you?" She asked back making him whine, rushing to the bathroom and shutting himself inside causing Hyunsoo to laugh.

She decided to get ready for the day too, having to go early to the agency to reduce the number of scandals if that was even possible now.

She kept getting notifications on her phone, people were completely skeptic and yet they did all they could to find anything about the boy in Hyunsoo's selfie. At least Renjun was positive about the situation, the only thing that got Hyunsoo feeling better that morning. Renjun drove her to the agency and while in the car, the boy noticed the girl fitting things inside her bag.

"You'll be alright, and if Kim says anything about the picture have him talk to me too, he probably thinks I'll be mad about the situation so just tell him that it's all good," Renjun said and Hyunsoo smiled back, her fingers went up to hold a few strands of his hair.

"Renjun," Hyunsoo called and he hummed in response, watching her as she gazed deeply at his healthy locks of hair.

"Go dirty blonde, trust me it would be worth it," she said and pushed closer, pecking his cheek before leaving the car, waving goodbye at the boy who was still shocked about what just went through, he imagined himself in the color and bit the inside of his lips, tempted to try it out for himself.

He didn't have any assignments due anyway and so, he drove to the salon.

Hyunsoo greeted the guards and immediately saw Kim seated comfortably on the lodge, he himself had been reading some of the rumours that went on and about Renjun.

"Kim.." Hyunsoo called out and the man looked up, motioning for the girl to sit down beside him and she did so.

"You should know better, is Renjun okay with any of this?" Kim asked quietly and Hyunsoo whispered back.

"The pic didn't capture his full face, so he isn't as worried at the moment,"

"Okay, that all I was worried about, if he's okay then I'm okay, how are things with you two?" Kim asked and Hyunsoo smiled inwardly.

"Good?" She said and Kim shook his head.

"Must be very good then," he sassed and Hyunsoo sent a short glare at the man who laughed in response.

"After all the recognition you've been getting, Elle has a little something set out for you, you were invited and here's your card," Kim said as he reached out to his other side and placed a thick envelope on her palm.

The comments on the internet never stopped and Hyunsoo was glad she was finally receiving so much love and respect from the public, she was to get ready for the party that evening sponsored by the Elle corporation, and when Renjun came to pick her up that afternoon, oh was she pleased.

The boy wore a bucket hat and didn't even look back at the girl when she sat down on the front seat.

"What's with the bucket hat?" She asked as she strapped on the seat belt but Renjun remained quiet, staring at the empty roads in front of him and Hyunsoo frowned, her eyes falling at the little bit of exposed hair on the back of his neck and her eyes went wide open, she pushed away the large bucket hat catching him offguard as he looked at her shocked.

"Renjun!" Hyunsoo said, enveloping his cheeks in the midst of her palms and he was only more flustered, the new hair do making him feel overly conscious as Hyunsoo smiled at it.

"I told you, you look fucking hot mister," she said and dropped herself back on the front seat, lips still curved as she couldn't stop smiling. She took out her phone and took over three to four pictures of him in one go.

"Oh stop already," Renjun said embarrassed.

"First off, Kim needs to see this," Hyunsoo said and Renjun broke into a small smile seeing her so excited.

"Oh, we also have a party to attend to this evening, good I asked you to color your hair, you're coming with, your girl is gonna get awarded with best newcomer," Hyunsoo said, excitement dripping off her words.

"My girl?" Renjun asked, his eyebrow lifting as he looked at her.

"Yes, your girl now step on it I'm gonna dress you tonight."

Renjun didn't have a moment to breathe once they reached home, Hyunsoo kept getting him changed into a bunch of tuxedos that he bought for himself but never wore.

"This one should be good," Hyunsoo said, the satin red shirt under a pitch black tuxedo, the black tie standing out under his dirty blonde mullet and Hyunsoo smiled cheekily.

"Sure I wouldn't get caught?" Renjun asks.

"Will you be mad if you do?" Hyunsoo asked back.

"If its for you then maybe, maybe not?" Renjun joked with the girl only to rush back into the closet to hide from her beating him up.

The two drove back to the place, Renjun decided to get out only after she was in the huge building, reporters standing ready to ask the girl about her personal life and simply there to get her pictures.

Amongst the large crowds, there were two female bodyguards that kept Hyunsoo out of reach from the rest.

She finally entered the large hall, the banquet meters away and the fresh smell of wine reached her nostrils making her breathe deeply, she set foot in to see Christopher and Kim
already there, speaking to each other.

Kim excused himself and got closer to the girl, whispering to her.

"He's here too?" Kim asked and Hyunsoo turned to look behind her, searching for the boy till her eyes finally landed on the man quite a few meters away. She pointed towards him but Kim only looked at the man in disbelief.

"Who are you kidding here Missy?" It was only after a few seconds that Kim could tell the difference.

"Oh my," he said and Hyunsoo laughed out.

"He looks pretty doesn't he?" Hyunsoo asked and Kim nod along, the two of them giggling like teenage girls.

"We call upon Ji Hyunsoo to the stage, the woman this entire gathering was set out for," the lady in a gorgeous pink dress spoke and applause from all sides were heard aloud. Hyunsoo felt herself heating up as her eyes located for Renjun who motioned for her to go to the stage.

She felt the many eyes on her and while she stood on the stage, accepting her award there was another who eyed her on the stage with a lot of hatred and anger.

"We hope you continued working just as hard in the future," the lady said with a smile and Hyunsoo agreed, hugging the woman's side before leaving the stage, her heart thumping hearing cheers all around her.

"I'll get myself a drink, can I get you some too?" Hyunsoo asked Kim who politely nod to her request.

"Ma'am we loved your work!" Hyunsoo heard loud and clear making her whip her head towards the voice and smile as a response, bowing her head as she continued to walk towards the drinks, she lifted two of the glasses only to be stopped when she turned to walk back. Her heart stopped beating momentarily as she looked at the man in front of her.

"You," the man said making Hyunsoo think back to the last time she saw him, she didn't want anything to do with the guy any more and so she ignored the guy. What surprised her was that he held her arm tightly, restricting her from any movement.

"There's a lot of people here Wontaek," she whispered to the guy who was dressed in the waiter's outfit.

"Oh really, are you ashamed now?" Wontaek asked, pressing his hands further deeply into her arm making her wince. Wontaek fell down on the floor, his mouth bleeding and when the six foot tall guy fell on the floor, crashing the two glasses that were in Hyunsoo's hold as well, it was only natural for people to turn their attention towards the scene.

Hyunsoo turned to look at Renjun in a completely different state of mind, he looked mad, like the first time they met when she went through his things without his permission, only this time, he looked agitated.

"You fuctard! You left me for this kid, Hyunsoo?" Wontaek questioned the girl's choice in men, getting Renjun further mad.

"I couldn't stop you last time, so I'll do it now," Renjun muttered under his breath, gritting his teeth as he straddled the man, punching his bleeding mouth profusely and Hyunsoo didn't even know how to stop the guy, never having seen him in a state as such.

"Don't fucking touch her like that!" Renjun growled, catching more and more attention and the media that wasn't attentive before, was now recording and picturing the scenes on hand.

Kim managed to push Renjun away once the man noticed what went on, Renjun had a stoic glare on his face, he barely looked sorry for the amount of blood he caused to ooze out of Wontaek's face.

"You deserve jail you freak!" Renjun said and felt his breathing hitch when he felt Hyunsoo hug him around his waist.

"Stop, they're all looking at you," Hyunsoo whispered and it was only now that Renjun noticed just how many media resporters got their next headline.

"Mister, are you the boy Ms. Ji was seen on a date with?"

"Why were you so angry upon seeing the man? Does the girl mean so much to you?"

Series of questions got Renjun to realise what just went on and he gulped, seeing the glare that Wontaek threw at him whist on the floor.

"Yes," Renjun said aloud, glaring right back into Wontaek's eyes.

"And whoever treats her wrong undergoes the same treatment as he did," Renjun said, motioning towards Wontaek who with all his strength tried to lift himself off the floor.

The air was tense and Renjun dragged Hyunsoo out of the hall, taking her with him to his car and driving off to nowhere. It was quiet there, the two simply didn't want to speak, wanting nothing but to forget about the things that happened when they had a great chance to enjoy the party set out for them in the first place.

"I'm sorry I caused a scene," Renjun said and it was now that Hyunsoo noticed he brought them to the beach where Renjun stayed that week, it was just as empty and quiet as that night, winds blowing just as fast and it felt cold even when the AC in the car was turned down.

"Are you kidding me?" Hyunsoo asked and Renjun looked at the girl.

"You came out of your shell like that for me, you can't believe how thankful and sorry I am to you at the same time," Hyunsoo said, placing her palm over his hands that fidgeted with the ends of his coat out of nervousness.

"Even so, I could've controlled myself," Renjun said softly making Hyunsoo smile.

"It's alright, it was different, seeing you act so involuntarily," Hyunsoo said and he nod. Holding her hand comfortingly, his fingers went to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear.

"Did I scare you?" Renjun asked and Hyunsoo thought for a while before showing him just how much with the little space between her thumb and pointer finger.

"A little bit," she said cutely making. Renjun forget all about his anger from a few minutes ago.

"I love you," he said making Hyunsoo feel warm despite the cold surrounding them, she pushed herself closer to him, kissing his lips painfully slow, feeling his love melt in her body at the contact of their lips as they smiled in midst of the kiss.

"I love you too," Hyunsoo whispered next to him and the two watched the slow rising and falling of the waves, reminding them of the night they were here, the night they thanked their lucky stars for when they loved each other fully.

"You're gonna be famous for what you did over there I guess," Hyunsoo said and Renjun nod his head.

"I hold too much allure for the media now, at least I know I won't deal with it alone," Renjun said, taking her hand in his. The two met by chance from two different worlds, but they did what was written for them, loving each other despite their flaws and differences.

The End

Damn this chapter was long but I didn't want you guys to wait any longer.

I guess this is the one book I finished in the shortest period of time. No lies, I finished this in two months, that's the shortest I've ever taken for any book of mine and that's surely thanks to kaidarling

It was her support in the middle of this book when she found out about it and was helpful enough to lure more readers into this book and honestly thank you for that, it was the one thing that drived me into finishing this book faster, from updating twice, thrice and even quadruple times in a day just because I knew there was someone appreciating the book.

Now that it's complete I hope it catches the attention of more and grows with time.

Thank you for reading this far, ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

And that's a wrap on ALLURE.
