Chaeyeon's POV:

The video played two drunk girls and the first one to speak was Jurina.

"I told you Sakura-chan was easy, look."

She said to Anna and showed Anna of a video. The video Jurina was showing popped up on the lower right portion of the screen. It was an intimate video of Sakura and Jurina, kissing and naked. When Sakura said she doesn't want to do what was about to happen. To say I was infuriated at the sight was an understatement. I suppose it was good that Sakura didn't want to have sex with Jurina. Sakura stops the video and explained.

"That night, I said no to Jurina, W-We didn't have sex, we just kissed naked that's all. I chickened out of it the last moment." She explained.

She continues playing the video and in that video she was edited out as having sex with Jurina. My world spinned and a surge of anger took over me. She watched her laptop screen as the video played on, there was a smile in Anna's lips as she watched the edited video Jurina showed her. I understand now why she didn't want to have a graduation concert. I understood her pain of finding out that the two people she held closely to her heart had betrayed her trust. It shook her to her core. Surprisingly, as she watched the video no tears were evident in her eyes.

She was done with her past and her eyes only showed me great determination for what her future held with IZ*ONME. I admire her even more now, because of how strong she was. It made me want to protect her even more so now that I saw this video. Tomi was right, I applauded Tomi silently, because of her bravery for showing Sakura this video. If it weren't for Tomi, Sakura would still be living her life in lies.

I understood Tomi and her initial view of me. I totally understand now why she was protective of her Okan, even though I didn't mean to do anything bad at all with Sakura. I was way past that phase where I played around to hurt women and play with their hearts. I was straightening myself out, I understood Hitomi's point if view now, because if Minjoo would get the same treatment from Yujin, I would be so protective of Minjoo moving forward too, if I was in the similar situation as Tomi and Sakura.

I pulled her to my chest and held her small figure to my chest in a tight embrace. I wished for the nth time to have been there with her when she was breaking, not now that she's healing. I wanted to be there for her, to help her mend her broken heart. To help her be alright, I can't imagine that she went through this much because of Jurina and Anna. They're a bunch of pigs to do this to my Sakura, the one the only Miyawaki Sakura. My hand patted her back, my lips ought to say something but my mind decided against it for now, I just wanted to make her feel my support for her through this hug.

"So, please understand me if I cry hard and passout, I can't help myself when I see things that Jurina used to do to me. I am unable to control my thoughts this past week, but moving forward to Monday, I promise to focus on debuting with the team, to work harder to debut and improve my dancing and singing skills, to learn Korean and to help you take care of IZ*ONME." She replied to me.

"I still support you Sakura, nothing has changed, not even after showing me this video. I only understood you better from the perspective of you and your two kids. I have the greatest desire even more so now, to protect you. Take care of you. We will debut together and we will both work hard to reach our dreams." I replied to her after a few moments of holding her close.
