Insomnia's Perspective | The Decision, All Seven of them.

       The air was filled with tension. Jiu, Siyeon, and Sua stood together in front of the entrance to the stairs. Jiu's words lingering in the air, settling inside the minds of Sua and Siyeon. In South Korea, their idols must not get into any scandals, crime, or any offense. Whether it be of their doing or not, they are put in a pedestal in where they are higher than the normal citizens.

Some of the idols are highly regarded as such. In Siyeon's case in where she is slowly stepping into the stage and stabilizing her career; the people's eyes are on her during this time where she is in the peak of her career. A scandal like this can either save her or break that peak.

These three know it. They just have different perspectives regarding what to do.

“ What — What do you mean by that, Jiu? ” Sua asked, her words being caught on her throat as it felt like all the liquid that she had just drunk disappeared rendering her throat all dried up. Once again, someone's life would get destroyed just because of her.

All because of her.

Seonghwa had once said that his successful life got all messed up because of her constant presence clinging to him. His words, that night, popped in her mind. It was her fault why San was almost beaten to unconsciousness. And now, now, Siyeon. Her dear Siyeon. Her idol, her hope, and her saviour.

Now, her career that she had worked so hard in building would break and Sua knows, she knows that it would break Siyeon.

Because singing, being in front of all those people who loves and admires her, her fans, is the most beautiful thing for her.

“ You can't go there. ” Sua told the idol looking straight at Siyeon's eyes. Her voice, determined and filled with finality.

Both women in front of her, became shocked at her decision. Jiu slowly nodded at her words and took a glance at Siyeon, wondering what she was thinking. At the sudden furrow of her eyebrows, she knew what Siyeon wanted to say.

“ Sua, why would you say that? we can finally make the guy disappear from your life. I just have to go there and tell them what I saw, what he did, what I did. ” She spoke with disbelief in her voice. Her heart beating alongside the rumbles of her stomach. The conversation felt so confusing for the Idol that it physically pained her when she heard Sua’s words.

“ Didn't you hear her? If you go to the police and tell them what happened, people will know that it was you, that it was an idol that got into a fight with a person like Seonghwa— You do not know what he is capable of. He can destroy your career, Siyeon-ah. Especially when he finds out it's you. ” Sua explained, with her hand pointing at Jiu. Her obvious insistence for Siyeon to not go.

“ What do you expect me to do? Let him off?! I don't want him to have the chance to get near you again. If this backlashes on my career, it's fine! This, you matter more than my career right now. I'm going there and I'll tell them. ” Siyeon said as she turned around and planned on getting ready to head out to the office of the police. Her steps were stopped as a hand grasped her wrist and roughly turned her around.

She came face to face with a teary eyed Sua and a concerned Jiu who was behind the dancer patting her back.

“ Ya! Lee Siyeon! Please, please, don't go. ” Sua began as her throat croaked as her eyes filled with tears yet it still hasn't slipped down to her cheeks. “ I — I can't. I can't handle it if I destroy your life too. Your career is on it's peak, you're going to have your come back soon. If you get in a scandal like this, it can affect it too much. Please, please, I can handle this — I can handle him. ”

Her hands shook, her heart beats faster, her stomach rumbled, her breath started coming shorter, and her voice croaked. She was afraid. For herself, for everyone around her, and for Siyeon. The tears had long slipped down from her eyes to her cheeks. A touch on her cheek brought her out from her fears.

It was Siyeon. Her thumb brushed away the tears and her look, her look. If she wasn't crying and having a hard time speaking already, this look of Siyeon's would have made her choke on her words. It was filled with so much adoration and fondness. And it was so gentle. A rarity in her wolf – like features.

“ If I don't go. If I don't go and I let him get away with this, knowing that I could have done something to prevent it. My conscious would never let me hear the end of it and it would surely impact my career because if I am not at my best, my career won't be. I'm not just doing this for you, I'm doing this for me. ” She told the dancer while brushing away the tears still flowing down from Sua's eyes. She raised her eyebrows, grinning and added. “ And, I'm doing it for San. ”

“ But — I don't want Seonghwa to harm you. He's dangerous. He's a psychotic bastard, Siyeon - ah. ”

“ More reason for him to stay inside that cell. So that he can't harm anyone,  anymore. We can have him on trial, Sua. So that he can't get near you. He'll be locked away. My career can wait. I'll take a hiatus.  Jiu can announce it today on social platforms. They can say that I'm taking time for myself. ” Siyeon insisted placing her hands on Sua's shoulder, rubbing the tension away.

“ Yeah, I have to say, Siyeon's right. We should have done this two years ago before all that abuse got too much. We should have done it the first time he did it to you. Or, that time he stole your money. We should have done something. ” Jiu told the dancer, caressing her back to calm Sua.

Her fellow sunshine friend. Her confident and talented best friend. Rendered into tears by a man like Seonghwa. She blamed herself for not being able to protect her from him.

“ Now, we can. We can do something. Our words against him. Our evidences against him.” Jiu insisted.

Siyeon nodding as well. The idol glanced at Sua again. She looked adorable and in need of hug. Her eyes red from crying and her lips formed into a pout, mulling over Jiu and Siyeon’s words.

“ It's your decision, Sua. I will do what ever you want me to do. We will do whatever you want. We're here for you. ” She told the dancer.

“ I'll come with you. To the police. If we do this, we do this together. ” Sua decided, clearing her throat.

“ All of us, all seven of us. ”
