The Day I Kissed An Older Man by Cher the Cherished

"Mister Lucas, I know you're here. Now that Melody says that she'll answer the question after getting your approval, do you agree to let her share the details surrounding your relationship?" the fan asked. Melody's expression soured when she heard that.

Lucas was not a public figure, and Melody was always mindful to ensure he received his privacy. Even though he claimed not to mind, she tried to limit their outings to avoid the constant scrutiny from the paparazzi. She did not want Lucas to be thrust into the public eye because of her, and it scarcely crossed her mind that her own fans would cross the line.

The girl who had called out to Lucas seemed undeterred by the disapproval from others and had an eager expression on her face. "Aren't you all curious?" she asked everyone around her. "I know I am. Besides, Melody herself said it. All she needs is his green light. A lot of people are speculating that Melody is receiving his backing, and the insinuation leaves a bitter taste in all our mouths, to put it mildly. Don't you want Melody to set the record straight and put an end to these rumors once and for all?" she persisted.

While some were swayed by her words, others chastised her firmly. "You're only trying to satisfy your curiosity! Stop using all that as an excuse."
