"There's barely enough time to love in a lifetime, please don't give it all away to pain," his words were gentle, yet slightly pleading as his hand trailed down my cheek.
"But what if the pain has already consumed me?"

NOVA
It had been days since I'd heard from Jungkook. I was confused because his exact words were, "I think we're going to be seeing a lot more of each other Nova."
So where are you Mr Sex God?
My work environment was becoming increasingly difficult too, mostly because clients had started asking for me to give them dances instead of the usual dancers. It's a huge compliment and it felt good to be wanted, but boy did it ignite some cattiness.
I sat on the barstool, giving my feet a break, and stared at the booth in the far-right corner with a scowl on my face. Those men had brought so much more stress into my life that I really didn't need. Why did both Jimin and Jungkook want me at the same time, they were friends weren't they? Last time I checked; friends don't really share girls.
Shaking me out of my grumpy state, Johnny started hollering through the empty space, "everyone gather around, team meeting!"
Johnny had been acting weird lately, he'd been glued to his office and every time someone entered, he looked like he hadn't changed his clothes or slept for about a week. We all wanted to do something, but he just wouldn't share the problem.
"I have some good and some bad news..." He started, looking down and wiping the sweat off his forehead.
"What's the good news?" Hyunjin asked, looking just as concerned as the rest of us.
"You're all getting a pay rise," he smiled awkwardly, scratching his head as everyone started chattering away happily.
"Okay, so what's the bad news?" I questioned, confused. A pay rise sounded great, at least Sana and I wouldn't be scrambling for rent every month now.
His face dropping into something unreadable, I never expected him to come out with what he did, "I'm not going to be in charge of this place anymore," he croaked, his voice wobbling.
Hushed voices filled the room.
What the hell was he on about? I had previously worked at various different places during my first year in Seoul, being mistreated and taken advantage of the whole time. When Hyunjin introduced me to Johnny, he was so kind offering me a job on the spot. Although he too took advantage of my willingness to work, he always treated me like gold. There wasn't a day that went by where he didn't praise me or thank me for my devotion to the place. He was as close to family as I was going to get.
"Stop joking about," Sana breathily laughed, the smile not quite reaching her eyes.
"Someone made me an offer I just couldn't refuse. For your sakes and as well as my own I had to take it." He was trying not to cry. "I'll still work here but I just won't have any say or power in how the club's run anymore. So look after yourselves and work hard like always!"
