JIHYO POV

"Goodbye." I said and I walked away. I'm not sure why but I didn't want to spend another second with Sana. She was driving me crazy.

I'm not even sure how. Lately there's been some tension between us. It started around 'Alcohol Free' and 'Perfect World' era.

It was involving lines in songs. She used to ask me why I'd always get the most lines in songs and I'd answer it was JYP's decision.

I hate myself for it but it was a lie. I spoke to JYP to give me some of Sana's line and convinced him it was because I had the better vocals but that's not true.

Truth is, if Sana tried she could own any era and I wouldn't get my turn to shine. Everyone already says that I'm not as good as a dancer as Momo or that I'm a bad leader.

If Sana took my vocals what kind of leader would I be? I know it's petty and dumb but I can't help it. I was a trainee for 10 years and now that I'm finally living my dream I want to be one of the best.

I still feel so stupid.

"Oh, hey?" Jeongin says as he opens the door.

When I was thinking about everything that happened tonight I decided to head where the Stray Kids members were staying.

It was an apartment, hard to detect. I just wanted to talk a little with them. We're close friends because we shared our trainee days together.

I don't know why our fandoms hate each other.

"Hey." I say tiredly. "You okay babe?" I hear from the other side of the door. It's Minho.

"Minho..." I walked up to him and hugged him. We've been seeing each other for a while now but we're keeping our relationship under wraps.

We don't want all the drama and rumors to surface. We'll tell our fandom when we're ready.

I held Minho a little tighter as Jeongin stood on the side with his phone in his hands and his face disgusted.

"Ew." He says. We both laugh and walk to his room. From what I understand it's just Jeongin, Jisung and him staying here.

"You coming here was...sudden." He says while sitting on his bed and tapping his side indicating I should sit with him.

"It's just..." he looks at me with a worried look. "Actually, it's nothing." I say.

How do I tell my boyfriend I'm jealous of my friend? I would look like a terrible person.

"You sure?" He asks me. "Yeah." I confirm. I loosen up and yawn then I lay on his bed.

"The idol life is hard." I rant. "Tell me about it." He says then lays next to me as we look at the ceiling together.

"Even though it's hard, I can make it easier for you." He tells me. "You can tell me anything. Just remember that." He explains.

A tear drop falls from my eye as I hear those words.

"Thank you, Minho." I tell him.

He took my hand and held it tight. I looked at him and I saw a tear fall from his eyes.

I guess he's not the only one who's struggling. I didn't know what I was in for when I said I wanted to be a kpop idol.

But just being here and holding his hand comforts me. Just by the look on his face I can tell he's hurting, just like me. Even though I don't know why, I can tell it's the same feeling I'm feeling right now.

Jealousy, guilt, sadness, anger.

I wish it was simple. I wish I could live my dream without any problems. But it's like I said :

The idol life is hard.

Suddenly, his door opens distracting us.

"Babe, are you hungry-" I hear.

I sit up and see Jisung. Minho gets all flustered and nervous.

"Babe?" I said, looking confused and looking at Minho. "Uh..we just call each other that as a joke, you know?" He says moving his hands around.

Jisung stands still by the door in shock.
"Sorry, I didn't know Jihyo was here...haha.." he laughs awkwardly and leaves without another word.

Minho gets up from the bed and looks at me. I'm still trying to process what happened.

"You guys call each other 'babe'? That weird." I point out. He gets nervous and jittery.

"No- it's-not like that. It's cause-" he stops, still figuring out what to say.

My phone starts ringing. I look at the contact and it's Nayeon.

"Yeah?"
"Jihyo-nana! Come back home, it's late."
"Okay, okay. I'm on my way then."
"See ya!"

I hang up the call and take my jacket.

"Uh...bye?" Minho says. I smiled and said bye back.

I walked myself out of his room and head to the front door where I wave goodbye to Jeongin.

I close the door behind me but I soon realize that I dropped my bracelet.

I want to open the door and get it quickly but then I hear Jisung speaking.

"That was close." It sounded like Minho said that.
I could barely hear what they were saying it was muffled and unclear.
"When...tell her? It's .....been months..." I heard.
"She needs me right now."

Are they talking about me? What does all of this mean?

I'm about to walk away until I see someone open the curtains of the window.

Jeongin.

He locks eyes with mine and he looked shocked. I didn't want Minho to know I heard whatever they were talking about so I gestured my hands in way to tell him to zip it.

He nodded and closed back the curtains.

After this encounter, I know one thing for sure...Minho is hiding something from me and Jeongin knows.
