The Silent Boarding Gate II Junhui

第七章 chapter seven

A few more days have passed. Along with their own promotions and activities, they took out the time to meet up to work on their song together. They wanted the song to only be about the two of them. So they produced the song and wrote lyrics all on their own. Of course, writing a song isn't easy but they both were full of inspiration. They wanted to pour their blood, sweat, and tears into their music. Within a short amount of time, their song was almost completed.

"How about here? I want to change up the lyrics a bit on this part." Hana suggested."Oh, ok. Let's change it." Jun said. Just then, they both heard a knock on the door of their studio. Then the door opened and Minghao walked in but he looked unusually anxious. "Oh my god. You two! Have you seen this yet?" He quickly ran up to us and showed us phone.

It was an article released by dispatch. You already know what's coming. It was a picture of them together in the parking lot kissing just a few days ago. "Huh? What is this?" Jun was still in disbelief. "They exposed us.. Oh my god. What should we do..." Hana started panicking. Then her phone began to ring, it was a call from her manager. "Hana! Did you check the news?" Her manager asked. "Yeah, I just saw it. What should we do.."

"Are you with Jun?" her manager asked. "Yeah." Hana answered. "Okay, let's meet up in the company first. We need to issue a statement to the public." The two moved to a meeting room along with a few other company staff to discuss the situation.

In the end, despite the criticism they may face, they decided to confirm their relationship to the public. After the meeting was over, Jun and Hana were left alone in the meeting room. Hana covered her face with her hands, she wanted to cry but no tears would come out. Jun tried to comfort her but he also needed someone to comfort.

Like expected, criticism and harassment by the public was inevitable.No matter what they do, they would receive tons of hate from the public and even their own fans. It was serious to the point they both received death threats from sasaengs daily. It was unbearable to the point the two decided to take some time apart. However, they still had to continue with their work and activities despite all of the chaos.

    They were like a withered flower. With each falling pedal, the more their relationship dies down.

A few weeks later

"Hey, Wonwoo," Hana greeted him as they passed in the hallways. "Oh, Hana.. How have you been doing?" He asked but the obvious depressed expression was printed on her face, "nevermind."

"You have a minute?" she asked. "Yeah, sure." They went to one of the company's resting rooms and sat down together on the couch. "What's on your mind?" Wonwoo asked. "I don't know.. There's a lot on my mind right now," she sighed, "I've been thinking of ending it all." Wonwoo was surprised at her words,"What do you mean ending it all?"

"I wanna end my career here in Korea.." she spoke softly. "Why? Just because of other's criticism?" Wonwoo needed her confirmation. "No.. I've grown tired of it all. You know the feeling when you fall out of passion?" she asked him. "Something you used to have so much passion for but one day you just can't feel the same anymore. It's saddening and regretful. Most importantly, I feel guilty.. I used to give my all to this, my passions were burning, I used to be so excited about everything but it's all different now."

"So what are you gonna do?" Wonwoo asked. "I've been thinking of going back to China. I can start a new career there. Maybe try out acting or something new." She answered. "But what about Jun?" Wonwoo was starting to worry. "...Maybe it's time to move on.." Wonwoo's eyes widened, "What do you mean? Are you seriously thinking of ending it with Jun?" Wonwoo almost yelled.

"It's the best thing I can do for us now. If we continue to stay together, we're only gonna hurt ourselves even more." she sniffled. "It's not easy moving on, you know." Wonwoo warned. "I know. But even so, we have to try. It'll never work with us being together in this world. It's sad but true."

"You need to put more thought into this. I know you're gonna regret it in the future." Wonwoo advised. "Yeah. I will. Thanks for chatting with me today." Hana thanked him and walked out the room leaving Wonwoo unsure what to do. If he should tell Jun about this or not. He knows it's better for their relationship if he told Jun but Hana wouldn't like this. He felt very conflicted.
