Once again, we had been given a comeback but it wasn't a huge one, it was just a Japanese comeback. Niki was really excited for this because he has been jumping around the dorm ever since the news came in.

We were on our way to the company to record our vocals while I stared at a blank wall waiting for my turn. Ever since that day, I've not been the same. I was set back a lot. It made me go back to the days I had to face my father everyday. My trauma phase.

Of course the members have been trying their best to keep me calm and happy I've been pushing them away. I honestly felt bad for them. My nightmares had come back and sometimes it went to the point where my brother and one or two of his friends would come over to the dorm just so my brother could calm me down. It was hell.

We made it to the recording studio, the only place I felt a little bit safe and free and recorded the tracks. Of course the pronunciations were easy for me because I had learnt Japanese growing up despite it also being a traumatic experience.

When we were done, we went to the studio to practice the dances as I tried my best not to space out. We were going to make a theme song for an anime too so I was a bit happy or at least 1% happier than before. We were also covering Boy In Luv by our Sunbaes for Blood Music Bank.

We practiced for a few hours until it was time for us to go. We got changed and headed for the car. I was the only one left so when I was walking down to hallways, I was suddenly pulled into a room.

I screamed and cried trying to push the person off before realising who it was. I was shaking, my face red and trails of tears were on my face.

"Damn you really put up a fight." The male said fixing his hair and outfit.

"I'm sorry Oppa, a lot has happened and I just have my guard up."

"It's fine, how are you?" Kai asked and I hesitated

"Sorry, shouldn't have asked that. I just wanted to check up on you so I ran away from my schedule to see you."

"You're gonna get in trouble." I stuttered

"It's fine, just wanted to see you. You're very strong you know that? You still manage to smile whenever you guys have a schedule that includes filming. Kudos."

"Thank you." I muttered

"I'll be going now, have fun." He smiled and left, after recollecting myself I did the same.

The day had arrived and we went straight to set in the morning decked out in all black. We started to film which went in for the next three days before coming to a close.

"Niki-San, can you please get the green boba tea and vitamins in the other room for me?" I asked making him look at me in shock

"What?"

"You just spoke Japanese, I thought you didn't know Japanese! Why didn't you tell me?!"

"You never asked."

"Unbelievable."

"We live and we learn now go get my stuff please." I smiled brightly and he rolled his eyes and walked towards the other room

We started filming the indoor scenes first. Heeseung, Sunoo, and I had the first set of Solos in the house. I was filmed walking around the house 'panicking' as the cameras followed me. I also filmed outside in blue light for the first time (Sunoo's solo part in the MV).

We filmed for 3 days as usual and in a few weeks it was released. I had fun watching Engenes react to the MV on social media.
