"Can you guys stop being stupid and fight about this at home? I'm tired of your bullshit." Y/N grabbed her things and left like dust.
"Follow me." Sunoo shoots me a death glare, signaling for me to start moving my feet quickly. As I suddenly get this uncanny feeling, I feel like something is gonna happen. Something deleterious, bloody even. Me and Sunoo kept walking, probably leading to his house. It wasn't helping that Sunoo was so calm too. Walking in a straight line, turning to lefts and rights sharply. On the contrary, there was clumsy me, falling down occasionally from the drinks I had. The streetlights were flickering, gosh did this become a horror movie?
"Go inside." Sunoo opens the door, the creaking effect ringing in my ears. "So... Continuing on. Explain your fake or shattered past, Yang Jungwon." Sunoo sat down on the kitchen island counter. "Alright..."

"Hyung, do you think we can do this? The pressure makes me wanna burst into a million pieces." I nervously stare at me and Heeseung in the mirror while practicing Given-Taken. "Of course we can handle this, Jungwon. The pressure will be gone soon." Heeseung reassured me. "You sure you aren't just saying that to calm me down?"
"... Jungwon. I don't wanna sound basic or anything. But in spite of everything, we'll always rise again." He flashed me a warm smile. "I don't know, I just need someone to talk to. Someone fresh, a raw reaction. I feel like I'm doing everything wrong, I wanna talk to someone who can be honest. I need to improve." I sighed heavily, looking down at my feet with disappointment.
"Well, I'm an honest person."
"Heeseung, I know that, and I do trust you. It's just that I want to talk to someone new, someone who will nitpick my every move. I want someone to see my mistakes so I could fix them."
Heeseung goes silent for a while, paying attention to his own moves for a bit.
"What do you think, Hyung?"
"Well, I have a friend. She's the most honest person I've ever met. She was a trainee, but left to work at a cafe instead."
"What's her name?" I ran to the corner of the studio, grabbing my water bottle and my phone. "Y/N L/N. She's such an entertaining, yet heartwarming person, trust me. Don't be distracted by her ok? " Heeseung winks while laughing. "Mhm, I'm not a love at first sight person, ok Heeseung?" I smiled cheekily. "I know I know, she's just really pretty, I'm afraid you would fall for her and forget about our friendship."
" I won't, Heeseung hyung. "

"You need to turn around faster with emotion. Make sure your elbows show and it will be seen as sharp, like the shape of a crossbow." Y/N demonstrates, making sure that I follow her every move. She was giving me tips on how to dance Given-Taken better. We've been practicing together for a few weeks, at this point she learned the whole dance. It was a little hard since we were practicing online because of the pandemic, but by this time the virus died down a lot. According to her, she lived near HYBE. This made me curious to meet her in real life. Like what Heeseung said, she's really funny and thrilling. We were doing this learning thing in secret since the company is so strict, this made me even more determined to meet her.
"Good job, Jungwon. Let's move onto Let Me In, or you wanna have a break?" Y/N asked, drinking water as well. "I think we should take a break first, we've been doing this everyday non-stop. Maybe we could meet up? You live near HYBE, and there's a cafe near here."
"Not a bad idea, I'll just get dressed. I don't want me to look ugly on our first platonic date." Y/N chortled.

+-+-+ time skip to when jungwon was done courting y/n, and was officially dating her. +-+-+

"Yang Jungwon, you're dating Y/N L/N?! You do know that she is some sick psycho, right? Now there are tons of news articles on you going mad!" My mom screamed into the phone. "Mom, calm down. Those are just people trying to make controversies. The rumors are fake for heaven's sake mother!" I rolled my eyes. "Calm down," My mom laughed hysterically, "You want me to calm down?! You need to break up right now, you hear me?"
"What?! Mother, no way. My company's already strict enough! Don't ruin my life more than it already has been."
"Jungwon, please. Find another woman. Even your sister is worried."
"Mother, she's not a killer! You're just trusting all of those fake ass journalists online..."
"Shut. Your. Mouth. I don't want to hear another word from your mouth. When I call you next time, I better see you with another woman." She hung up on me.

Fucking hell, that woman can't control me. Why can't I just live in tranquility?

"Hi Jungwon, sorry if I'm disturbing you, but please listen." A staff member walked into my dorm room. "I turned around. "I'm deeply sorry to bring this up so early, but you need to end your relationship with Y/N." The staff member sighed heavily. "Oh sure, wait what!?"
"Jungwon, HYBE said so." She frowned. She seemed worried, but fake in a way? Chills ran down my spine, what the fuck is going on? "... Why would they want me to break up with her?" My eyebrow raised due to the perplexing issue at hand. "I think we both know the reason, Jungwon."
"So you're telling me, if I ask the other staff, they'll say the same thing?" I looked her in the eye. "Y-yes." Her hands were trembling. "Ok fine, you can leave for now." I gestured my hand for her to get out, as I took my phone out.
