---------------------------------------------
HeeSoo's POV:
'What if strength kills you?' I coldly said. The lack of emotion in my voice would have scared me a week ago but now i don't even care.
My blank stare was fixed at my unnies, in hope for a reply. Instead, chaelin scanned my appearance. I could see the tears well up in her eyes. I couldn't bear this, i had managed enough strength to get out of my room and face the world. I couldn't see her cry right now or i would go back to another few days of mental breakdowns.
'I'm going to shower, i need to restart my work.' I walked past her, as if she didn't even exist. This was killing me but i was done playing around. I trust no one. Not even chaelin unnie. I refused to open up to her at this moment.
I stood in the shower letting the hot water trickle down my body. I made no effort in 'actually showering'. I just wanted to relax my muscles. I felt a stinging pain in my arms as the hot water came in contact with my bare flesh. But it was nothing compared to what i felt inside.
I stepped out of the shower and messaged Jaeyang oppa to come pick me. I quickly dressed up in dark washed jeans with a mint green over-sized sweater. By the time i was done tying my hair, my phone buzzed, notifying me of jaeyang oppa's arrival. I quickly put on my mint green converse and a pair of black shades and made my way downstairs.
'HEESOO-Ah! So nice to see you again' jaeyang oppa said, enveloping me in a hug.
'Mmhm, yeah' i bluntly replied.
'Why are you wearing a sweater? It's burning!' He asked taking in my appearance.
'I'm not well. Let's go' i shortly replied and got into the car leaving him puzzled.

'Okay so hee-soo, your fans have been worried about your sudden disappearance so there might be a lot of rush of your adorers and media, they were told you were sick so you were on a leave, so you need to be prepared. Of course we'll have security to keep them away but still' he briefed.
'Uh-huh kay whatever'
'HeeSoo-ah Gwaenchanha?'
'Amuguesdo! I'll handle it' i replied, diverting my attention to the scenery outside.
Soon the car was engulfed with a sea if screaming fans and reporters. My brain sent panic signals throughout my body.
'Ready?' Jaeyang oppa looked at me with concern.
I nodded. Although inside my heart was screaming to return to dorms. But i had to face them sooner or later. I chose now.
As i stepped out i was attacked with questions.
'HeeSoo-ah? why were you gone?'
'Is it true you were sick?'
'Is it the new fashion to wear sweaters in this burning weather?'
'Is it true you Fell into depression?'
'Is it true that you had prior relations with Kai and Tao'
My heart sunk and the bile in my throat was beginning to rise. I didn't want to deal with this now.
'Listen' i finally spoke up. 'What happened in the past week or where i was, or my relationship with tao and kai is none of your business. I know you all want to make up stories to exploit me and you'll do it whether i answer or not. So why bother asking these questions? Just let me be okay? And stop interfering in my life!' I snapped at them. I knew i would get in trouble for this but i was really annoyed. All the screams and questions died down. They were replaced by accusing glares or confused faces.
'You heard her' i was shocked to find Tao beside me.
'Yeah let her breathe, she wasn't well, and is probably recovering and all you can do is pester with useless questions' kai joined in.
'If you have any dignity at all then please clear the way, we have a comeback to do' tao continued, a slight smile appearing on face as the path was cleared up.
We were lead inside. Only to be screamed at by our managers.
'Were you out of your minds? What were you thinking? Especially you HeeSoo? They can ruin you completely!' Jaeyang oppa shouted pacing back and forth in the gallery pulling at his hair.
'Yah don't blam-' tao began but i cuf him off.
'They can't ruin me if i don't care' I said in a cold, lifeless tone, walking past him. I halted looking back at kai and Tao. 'Oh and next time, don't poke in my matters' with that i walked away
'Aish... What has become of this girl?' Jaeyang oppa said in a sorrowful tone.

Kai's POV:
I stood there with my mouth open. What just happened. We stood up for HeeSoo risking our reputation infront of all of korea's media and she is not even thankful? Rather she is annoyed that we 'poked in her matter'. Was this girl out of her mind.
This was not going to be easy. She won't let anyone in that easy, especially now.
'Well don't just stand there! We have work to do' jaeyang hyung snapped.
'Nae' me and Tao said in sync.
'Oh and don't mind HeeSoo, give her sometime.. She'll come around' he told us in a reassuring tone.
