Aby's POV

It felt a bit off, having to meet him again after such a long time passed by. There was just too much to say, yet so few words coming out of our mouths.

I had never once fallen out of love with this man, not even once!! We had just been through so much for me to ever consider such a thing!!

Once he finished looking through the menu, he looked up and smiled at me, while that giddy sensation came back. That feeling I had felt since the first day I truly met him and accepted him for who he was and even at that moment, most wouldn't believe those words, but I just don't care to even correct them.

The feeling and moment were just too perfect for me.

"I'm glad you could make it, especially with how busy you've been lately." I started to thank him for coming, forever having the time to meet with me.

Forever going on dates with me again, like the old times!!

"Why wouldn't I? It's the only thing I can do for you after canceling so many plans at the last minute." his smile slowly faded while he kept talking about his lack of time, thanks to his job.

"Ever since the girls broke up with my brothers, they've never been the same and for that, I have to pay the price in work."

"Yet somehow they get the fame and recognition...but let's not talk about my boring life, I'd rather hear what you have to say." he gave me a sad smile, and I reciprocated it, feeling so sorry for him, yet wanting to know more about those terrible brothers of his and what they were going to do with my members

I didn't want them to get hurt any longer, they suffered too much for that again!!

"How has the relationship between all of you been?" I curiously asked, feeling a bit worried about whether or not he had been growing suspicious about their...hobbies!!! He laughed at me as if there was no point in asking such a question.

"The usual, they always just push me away. I'd say that Baekhyun is the only one I have some sort of communication with."

"Jackson doesn't even speak anymore and his expressions are nonexistent, while Taemin and Taeyong are always stuck in that attic of theirs doing god knows what!!" we both chuckled, but for two completely different reasons, as I knew the truth, while he was fed a complete lie for his safety.

By both sides, the victims and perpetrators.

"At least Baekhyun is doing well..."

"To the average person, he is."Daniel finished my sentence, looking me dead in the eye while having a defeated expression that was all over his face.

"But he's quite odd, every time I try and talk to him about what they do in that basement that's so important to even skip work for it, he gets defensive and tells me to mind my own business."

"He knows that to my father's eyes, it doesn't matter what they do, he'll always prefer them over me."

"I was a mistake in a god awful decision."

"Daniel!! Don't say that!! You're the reason that company is even functioning correctly!" I huffed, feeling so sorry and angry for him. He worked so hard for that company and no one even batted an eye at his accomplishments.

The sacrifices he had done for a such job were so many, even sacrificing this very relationship for that f*cking job of his.

I'm sorry, but it's hard accepting the fact that you have to stay happy or positive, for the people around you that are suffering, when you, yourself are not happy.

It's hard knowing that you'll always be second place in your partner's eyes, even though you had sacrificed and put at risk so many things just to be with that person you love.

I'm putting in danger me and my member's career and dreams, just to be with him, but I'm starting to question whether or not he realizes this, or whether he even cares.

"I sometimes question if they're planning to murder me or anything, that would explain the active visits to the basement."

"But don't worry, it's not like they're psychopaths or anything like that." he chuckled a bit as his own joke, while all I could do was just laugh, knowing fully well that he can never know the truth.

He could go insane after I say such devastating words, or worse, not believe a single word that would come out of my mouth.
