"No." I blink. "No."

"I was in the same denial, too. But it's the truth." Haidi says.

"The truth?" I say in disbelief. "What exactly is the truth?" I stand up and pace around the room. "That I was an idiot again? That I allowed danger inside Gaia once again? They came to me, Haidi. They deliberated came to me, knowing fully well who and what I was and asked for my help. And I let them in. I didn't even question them. Just because they were singers and I just didn't imagine, I couldn't image that Bangtan, the global kpop group that has stolen the heart of million people, is what? Nemesis." I turn to her, helpless. "I mean, which sane person would think that, right?"

She gives me a sympathetic look. "It wasn't your fault."

A bittersweet laugh escapes me. "Ha, everyone keep saying, when in truth, it is my fault." She tries to argue. "It is my stupidity for trusting so easily. Oh, how right Yoojin always turns to be. Imagine his satisfaction when I tell him."

Now, she looks horrified. "You gonna tell him? Tell them?"

My shoulders drop, all the tension gone. "I need to tell them..."

"But?"

My expression changes. The realization hits me. "But, I need to beat the shit out of you first."

"Shit." She shoots up immediately. "I forgot that."

"How can you do something so dangerous, you little shit?!?!?!" I yell.

"I needed to have evidence before telling you anything." She pleads her case.

"You needed to tell me from the first suspect, you fool. You were dealing with Nemesis, not Sin Won! Do you have any idea how dangerous they are?"

"Oh, and you do?" That halts me. Right. Who am I to jugde? "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say it like that."

"It's okay."

"Are you okay?"

Am I? Good question. For the first time, I come to realize the power Nemesis holds. To be able to hide this, lead two different lives, without anyone knowing the truth. The power Seok yields. Seok. Who's Seok? "Bring me poster and a pen."

"What?"

"I need to know who's who." She gives me the things. "Okay, we know Min Yoongi is the red one. Who has the name Seok?"

"Here, Kim Seok Jin and Jung Ho Seok." Okay, we start there.

It takes me a few minutes to finish my drawing. By the end, it's crystal clear to me. I don't need more evidence. Man, I'm such an idiot. Such a blind idiotic human being.

"Holy shit!" Haidi exlaims. "You are in a relationship with Jung Hoseok?!?!"

"Technically, I'm in a relationship with Big boss Nemesis, Seok."

We stay in silence for a few. I need the time, to register the truth. "Now what?" She asks. Beats me.

No-one

Yoojin pushes the heavy door open. The room is almost dark. Too dark for the figure that repressents light and currently sits on the chair, looking outside the open balcony door, expression void of any type of emotion. He has a glass, with what Yoojin can guess is alcohol, in his hand and several empty bottles lay around the floor. His heart squeezes. He knows that no matter how many bottles Eric empties, he can never find peace. The thoughts will always hunt him, drunk or not.
