"A lot of you are asking me, what happened to u," Timothy said in his video about his life. "We are already working on the same company and we still see each other because we are only in one place. The question is are we still dating? The answer is... we already stopped because we both choose to focus on our new careers."

After I heard what he said my tears fall. Even though I am aware that he will say it to the public. I also feel that I am broken inside but no... 

"Why are you crying?" Timothy asked me when he saw me watching his vlog at my studio.

"I don't know." He laughed and hugged me. We need to say it in public but we also said that we still keep the friendship.

"We have a photoshoot for the anniversary special." The anniversary of our company is coming so we need to have a family shoot. 3 boy groups and 2 girl groups and 4 soloists.

"Okay, roll-call! Jewels" The staff shouted.

"Present," Yara said and looked at me and rolled her eyes.

"X.O.X?" The girl group is really nice to me.

"Present," Taylor said. Taylor is one of my friends inside the company.

"Soloist, LA Lim, and Ranco Avior?" We both say present at the same time.

"Gacrux, Retrograde, and Code B." They are said present at the same also. Gacrux contains 5 members, Retrograde contains 10 members, and Code B contains 7 members including Timothy.

"Since all of you already prepared, let's proceed with the shoot." We have our solo shots and then a group shot with our Producer.  I can also see earlier when I am shooting with our male soloist, Tim is giving us strong glances.

"Hey, are you okay? Is there something wrong?" I asked when I followed Timothy to his studio.

"Yeah." He shortly answered. I pulled Timothy's wrist when he was about to step out of his studio.

"No, you're not okay. Something's wrong." I looked into his eyes to read his emotions but I can't.

"Are you comfortable with Ranco?" Jacob is the male soloist.

"Why?"

"Why?!" I was startled when he raised his voice a little.

He left his own studio without saying any words. I don't know what is his problem but I don't think I can work properly right now. I go back to the studio to finish shooting. I sat on the chair near him.
