Y/N’s POV

Days after the day me and Michiko had a fuming fight, she didn't visited the office anymore. Akira has been always lonely and her face is always pale for unknown reason. I still have no plans to talk with her, seeing her side with that bitch is painful for me.

But on the good side, my song release is getting nearer! I'm so excited that I will finally, release the first song.

While doing the paperworks, my phone rang vigorously vibrated.

rin-door is calling...

I immediately picked it up to answer his call. Hmm, why did he called though?

"Hi!" I beamed. I was expecting for him to greet me immediately then he'll say 'Hello, babe!' but he didn't. There was a long pause that it made me confused. "Rin..?" I called out again.

[Oh─ sorry. I didn't noticed that you answered the call. Anyways, hi love! How's work?] He asked.

He sounded tired, his voice echoed through my ears. And how could he didn't noticed that I answered the call?

"It's unbelievably peaceful today, though. Anyways, why did you call? Is there anything wrong?" I asked, another long silent pause. But I remained quite.

[N-nothing... Love?]

"Hmm?"

[Don't open your social media accounts first, okay?] He suddenly said, it made me even more confused. What is pointing about? And why would I open my socmed accounts?

"Huh? Why? I mean, why would I don't?"

[J-just, don't... Please.] He said in almost in a whisper manner.

"Uhm.. okay then. Is there.. anything you need to say?" I added, another long pause crept in.

[Nothing, anymore... I'll hang up now, I need to rest because I'm getting sleepy and tired.. Love you, please take care.]

"O-okay, bye, take care too.." As soon I said that, he ended the call. It made me confused as hell.

These days, he's been acting distant. He gets easily space out, and if he does, I would ask him if there's anything wrong and he would only response, 'Nothing'.

Of course, it made me confused as well. I'm not used to him being this distant to me, in fact, he's the one who's always close and clingy to me. I'm scared to say it but..

He's starting to change.

"(Y/N)! YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS!"

Out of nowhere, Jio barged in the office. Holding his tablet up as he marched towards the table with a pale face.

"Why? What's happening?" I asked, but he didn't respond and he instead showed me his tablet with a video recording playing on the screen. I watched and analyzed what is happening. My eyes suddenly widen.
