Junkyu's POV

"I think she still loves you." My eyes widened at Mrs. Kang's statement. She looked back at Seowoo.

"These past few days, she didn't get out of her room and skipped her meals. She started to have a fever. You know that she always talked while asleep if she have a fever..."

My heart started to beat faster not knowing why. I remembered how she stuttered at the van earlier.

"She always whispered that she's sorry and that... she still loves you." Her words at the van suddenly started to make sense.

"I'm sor... I... still... lo... you..."

"But Mrs. Kang, she always told me that she doesn't love me anymore..."

"That's what she wants to feel, Junkyu. She's forcing herself to believe it and she's close to succeeding but I know that she'll regret it."

"But you told me that I'll only end up hurting her..."

"I was wrong. She'll end up getting hurt more if she forced herself to love someone she doesn't."

"She's... forcing herself?" Mrs. Kang sighed as she caressed Seowoo's hair.

"She's thankful to Asahi but... she doesn't have any romantic feelings for him." Mrs. Kang looked at me again and held my hand.

"I'm sorry for stopping you back then but... I'm taking it back now. Please... make her truly happy again."

It's been four days and Seowoo is still in the hospital. The media is also still focused on our issue so I haven't been able to go where I want to freely.

I would've preferred to stay at home but the CEO wanted me to stay inside the building.

"I said I don't want to! I have a lot on my mind right now!" I glared at Jihoon but he didn't stop. He grabbed me by my wrist again and this time, he succeeded in bringing me inside a room.

I saw trainees looking like a nervous wreck and I remembered my trainee days.

"Hyunsuk hyung wouldn't be able to accompany me and you're the only one available today!"

"Why do you want to go here anyways?" I asked him as we sat at the chair furthest from the table of the CEO and other judges.

Trainees are going to have their monthly evaluation today and Jihoon wanted to watch for an unknown reason.

"I'm going to have a solo album soon. I need a girl to sing some lines for my song." Oh that's right. He's going to have a solo album again soon.

My face suddenly started to heat up as I remembered the day of my solo debut. That's also the day when Seowoo and I...

"Ya, why are you blushing?!" He asked me as he snapped his finger in front me.

"No-nothing... I just re-remembered something."

After a few minutes, the evaluation started. The new CEO isn't that rough on comments. The trainees today sure have it easier that us back then.

"Ya Junkyu, how about her?" Jihoon told me and I listened to the trainee who's currently singing Yedam's Wayo.

"She's good." Her voice suits the song very much. I'm sure that she'll debut on the new girl group.

"Manager hyung, what's her name?" Jihoon asked and I just watched the same trainee and now, she's dancing.

"She's Mikee, 18 years old. She's been training for 3 years already." Manager hyung told Jihoon and we both nodded.

When she finished, I saw her looked at our direction and she suddenly blushed for some unknown reason. I looked at Jihoon and realized that he's also looking at me.

"I think she likes you."

"She just looked at you."

We both said it at the same time which made us chuckle. After a few more minutes, their evaluation ended and it's time for Jihoon to approach the trainee with the voice he liked.

I told him that I'll just wait for him but he pulled me again.

"Hi! You're Mikee, right?" The trainee looked very shy. Is it because we're a senior to them?

Jihoon started to talk to her but I catched her stealing glances on me. Do I have something on my face?

As soon as they finished talking, I opened my phone and I was about to open my camera but I saw a message from... SEOWOO?!

Seowoo
Can you come here at the hospital today? Seoyun wanted to see you. It's definitely alright if you can't. I'll just tell her that you need to do something very important.

Junkyu
I can go. Tell her I'm on my way.

I smiled like a fool as I turned my phone off. I have been thinking about what Mrs. Kang told me. I'm such a fool for thinking about giving up.

Jihoon was about to pull me again but this time, I didn't let him. I was about to tell him that I'm going to Seowoo but realized that the trainee might hear us.

"I'm going to the hospital." I whispered at Jihoon and he just patted my back and pushed me away. He gave me a thumbs up and smiled.

Seowoo's POV

My lips curved into a smile when I read Junkyu's reply and I covered my mouth

Why am I happy?!

"Mommy! What did Dada say?!" She looked at me with an excited look at her face.

"He's going to arrive soon." She began to cheer but Seojun is just looking at me.

"Seojun, don't you love Dada?" Seojun's head tilted and it seemed like he's thinking.

"I like him but I love Sahi." I just smiled at him and patted his head.

"How about you Mommy! Do you love Dada?" My eyes widened at Seoyun's question.

Why can't I answer that simple question? I... I don't love him anymore... right? I... love Asahi... right?

Why am I... confused again?
