to my star episode eight

M/N POV ~

"in front of the store, someone kept hovering around, so i went and got it." ki sat across from me after i handed the phone back. "so, why are you showing this to me?" i kept my face blank as he gulped for a second. "my father's company went bankrupt. our house was seized..the only person making money in my family is me." he started to tell his sob story.

thinking about my situation i just looked at him. "so?""i took a mortgage loan for this restaurant..and now it's also going to get seized." he gulped again as i looked away. "kang seojoon has a lot of money. he said it himself that he goes around solving things with money." looking at him my eyes squint a little at the mention of him. "i want to take this picture and receive the money."

"you..are you saying this sincerely?" he suddenly raised his voice a little. "you also don't want to lose this restaurant. you made all the recipes. if you go anywhere else, you'll start off as the newbie." i looked at him blankly but had a shock look in my eyes. "so, you want me to do this awful thing together. you're doing this so you can be comfortable. you're not being serious, right?"

"doing something like this doesn't make sense, kim hyung ki." i raised my voice at him while looking back at him. he made a woah sound sarcastically. "you're making me look like trash." i could feel my neck vein sticking out as he leaned closer. "hey! since you hung out with kang seojoon, do you feel like you've become something? wake up, you fuck."

"even if i didn't take this, it would eventually be released to the public someday. then you too, you fucker..people will point their damn fingers at you and all you'll ever do is go up and down. you know that?" he spoke loudly as i shoke my head slowly looking down while closing my eyes. opening my eyes i watched as he looked to the side for a moment. he suddenly grabbed my hand.

holding my left hand with both of his, ki looked at me. "m/n, you've known me for longer. him, he doesn't really matter to you. right?" i let out a slight chuckle before snatching my hand away with zero emotions. "is this something you can say to me right now?" back to the present i walked out of the closet with my bag. "what is this? what's wrong?"

3RD POV ~

m/n looked at pilhyun after his question. "the security deposit, i'll need it back as soon as possible." walking to the door m/n opened it. "hey.." placing his shoes on m/n walked out with pilhyun being the last thing he heard before leaving the home. homin and pilhyun looked at the door before homin glanced at seojoon. "bro, are you okay?" homin asked the man.

"you know i consider birthday's really important, right?" he looked in between pilhyun and homin. "i'm not in the mood to celebrate, so you guys go enjoy." seojoon looked down as pilhyun scoffed a little. "what are you saying? it's fine. we'll stay with you." pilhyun stuck his hand out making him look back up. "i'm asking you to." he started to walk to his room but stopped for a moment.

pilhyun and homin looked at seojoon. "also, there can't be any food waste." he turned to them and pointed at the kitchen counter. "so, can you take the food with you?" seojoon looked at them for a moment before looking down and walking to his room. pilhyun and homin watched as pilhyun sighed. m/n stood by the bus stop waiting while holding in his emotions.

seojoon sat at the table after the two left just staring at it before his eyes shifted to pilhyun's birthday cake. letting out a sigh he removed some of the letters to grab one of the treats that were stacked to make the cake. shoving it in his mouth he ate away his sadness. seojoon slowly laid his head down with tears in his eyes.

the next day seojoon woke up to him laying on the couch while holding the vacuum. placing it done he grabbed his phone from next to him. he turned it on hoping for a text or something from m/n but there was nothing. getting up he walked to m/n's room and opened the door to see no one. pulling his phone out of his pocket, seojoon called him. "the caller cannot be reached."
