"This flight is going to be torture." Summer sat on the couch groaning about the whole situation.

Jungsu: Hey are you okay? We heard the news

Summer: I'm fine. I'm just so pissed off

Jungsu: You have a right to be. You aren't in the wrong at all Haeun and everyone who thinks you are is flat out stupid.

Summer: Thank you for checking on me Jungsu <3

Summer: Our flight is boarding now, it'll text you when we land :)

Jungsu: Have a nice flight

"When will you know if it's safe to let you perform?" Jeongin asked.

"He'll probably let me know when we get off the flight." She spoke, "If I do perform I may have to speak a little on it during my solo stage." She said, "That will not be easy."

"Real Stay wouldn't do this to you Haeun." He comforted her, "I'm sure everyone in that arena will love and comfort you."

"I sure hope so."

She spent the entire plane ride thinking about what could happen to her.

I'll be fine

But what if everyone suddenly turns against me

Maybe I accidentally said something stupid in my comment

What if I made the situation worse

What if I have to leave the group

What would I do without these boys

I can't leave it would break me

I need to stay here this is my home this is what makes me happy

But what if it gets all ripped away from me because I made one stupid mistake

Maybe I should have just let it happen

"Stop thinking like that." Jisung spoke. It shook her out of her dazed mind.

"What? How do you know what I was thinking?" She asked.

"A magician never reveals his secrets." He smiled which made her laugh at his stupid joke, "Of course I know what you're thinking. You've been thinking about it for the past two hours in the VIP room." He put an arm around her, "Dont beat yourself up. No matter what happens, you aren't going to leave us. You know damn well we'd never let that happen." He pulled her tight as she rested her head on his shoulder.

"But what if-"

"You sitting here thinking about this for forever is only going to make you feel worse." He cut her off, "No more talking about it okay?"

"But it's all I can think about."

"Then why don't we try to get your mind off of it?" Jisung called Jeongin and Felix who were in the seats beside them. Somehow, them joking around and talking about random shit really did help her, of course the thoughts didn't fully go away, but they got pushed to the back of her mind.

———

"JYP? Hello. Yes. Yeah we just got off the plane. Yes we're walking to the car. Okay? Yes. Okay. I understand sir. Yeah. One? Okay. Yes understood. Thank you sir." The boys were all watching her intently, "I can perform tomorrow."

"Yes!"

"He said it's not fair to Stay who paid to see this." She spoke, "I'm not allowed in public though."

"Wait what?"

"For the Atlanta trip as of right now, I can't go out in public." She said quietly. She almost started bawling on the spot.

"It's just for this trip. Once we go to Texas you'll be back with us okay?" Chan smiled to her. She nodded, not wanting to say anything. She didn't speak for the rest of the night. Instead she just looked out the window the whole car ride, and when she got to her hotel rooms she immediately went to her room and fell on the bed. Not moving an inch. She just fell asleep, crying like that.

"She's definitely not okay." Jisung said.

"Maybe she just needs some time?" Hyunjin spoke.

"What she needs is a break." Chan didn't look anywhere besides the floor, "Think about how often this shit happens to her. Maybe she needs a break from this." Chan sounded like he was going to cry.

"We all know she won't take a break even if it's what's best for her. The same thing with Haru and how the police wanted her to go on hiatus. She's going to get even worse if she can't do or be with the things she loves." Jeongin said, "She may need one but you know she'll never take it."

"What if we tell her to take it?" Chan said, "I hate that she has to go through all of this."

"You've known her longer than any of us Chan. She can't leave us." Seungmin said.

"God that girl." Changbin shook his head as he laughed, "She may be more attached to us than we are to her. Well... Maybe not Jisung."

"Hey!" Jisung stopped himself, "Yeah..."

"Should we go check on her?" Felix asked, "Or like one of us?"

"I'll go." Jisung put his hand up as Chan handed him the key to her room.

"Tell us if you need anything." Chan smiled as Jisung walked out the door. He opened the door to her room.

"Haeun?" No answer, "Darling?" No answer. He peeled his head around the corner to see the girl passed out on her bed, still fully dressed. Her phone was next to her buzzing nonstop.

personA: And she gets no punishment for this? She's probably sucking JYP's dick or something.

That was all Jisung needed to see. He turned her phone on do not disturb as he took off her shoes and socks for her. He picked her up and set her under the covers, "You're gonna be okay baby." Jisung kissed her forehead before walking out of her room, "Her phone is blowing up with all sorts of posts." He spoke as he walked in, "She's asleep though."

"I guess that's all she really can do." Chan said, "We're going to go out anyways to take pictures around town."

She woke up later that night to a video.

I saw Stray Kids walking around today but Summer wasn't with them. She's probably terrified of going out in public now because of everything you guys have done to her. This girl has done nothing but be the sweetest and kindest person out there. You should all be ashamed of yourselves for hurting such a sweet girl #SummerIsInnocent

It made her cry. She was scared to look at anything else on her phone, to be honest she was scared to do a lot of things. She sort of just laid and stared at the ceiling of her hotel room, wishing she hadn't of hit that guy. Maybe she would have been fine if she didn't.

"Don't think like that." She whipped her head to the side, seeing a half-awake Jisung laying beside her.

"When did you-"

"Sh." He pulled her down beside him, wrapping her in his arms, "I'll sing to you. Like you did with me." He whispered. She fell asleep listening to his smooth voice, thoughts still running through her head but getting drowned out now.

A/N: I'm waiting for the new SKZ TALKER to get English subtitles so I can write!!!
