"Even if I'm blind like this, will you love me forever? Even if my eyes are blind, my eyes look for you, even if my whole body burns, I walk towards you, my sun, you are so far away, if I become ashes, please keep them by your side." - Nishimura Rik...
"Why is band practice off today?" Sunghoon asked ast hey hit the 14th floor, suddenly. "Jay and Heeseung thought that they sensed an error. They're trying to-"
Sunghoon's eyes widened immediately. "Shit!-" Sunghoon ran out as soon as the elevator door opened. He instantly realized what the 'error' might be about. Niki, who was confused, walked slowly back to the room behind him.
Sunghoon immediately ran into the kitchen room, dropping his bag. He took his phone and whatever he was fearing... Was true.
It was... Kihyun. He texted Sunghoon something which could ruin his entire career.

Just as he finished reading that, he stumbled on the floor . Niki who entered before he fell, tried to catch him but he couldn't. "You alright?" Niki asked.
"Shut. the. fuck. up." Sunghoon said in complete rage. "What?" Niki replied, utterly confused. "You... Why..." Sunghoon started tearing up, he was devastated. "Because of you..." Sunghoon couldn't complete his words. "Because of you, I have to suffer!" Sunghoon cried. "You..!"
He felt like he was going to throw up. "Hey, we can solve this problem together... Tell me what's wrong." Niki asked.
"We? Together?" Sunghoon stood up from the floor and grabbed onto Niki's collar in rage. "Tell me what the problem is, atleast?" Niki tried to keep his calm.
"You wanna know the problem? Alright, I'll tell you what the problem is. It's you. You, Nishimura Riki, you!" Sunghoon threw his phone infront of Niki.
Niki picked it up and read what Kihyun had messaged him. "What...?" Niki said. "You gave him... the tapes?"
"No! He stole them..." Sunghoon was tired of everything that was happening. He needed a break.
"You should've stayed... out of all these..." Sunghoon said, lowly. He couldn't bare what Kihyun had been doing to him recently.
"I wasn't going to let him do that to you." Niki said, stepping infront of him. "Why does it matter?! Who am I to you?" Sunghoon said, tears still falling from his eyes.
Niki's heart ached a little looking at Sunghoon's condition, even though they met just quiet a week ago. "It doesn't matter what you mean to me or what I mean to you. As long as you're human, it was my duty to save you." Niki said as Sunghoon's eyes lit up.
What a wise man...
"I-I- But- What the fuck do I do now? I-If I don't return, to him... Then..." He ended up crying out. "How do you even know him?"
"H-He... He... He... is the son.. of the person... who killed my dad... H-He," Sunghoon stopped to take a full breath. "H-He helped me with money... When I had no one left..." Sunghoon took a big sigh. "He expected me... To repay..." He closed him eyes in shame. "With my body..." Sunghoon sighed. "But I disagreed... And from then... he.." Sunghoon tried to speak but he couldn't.
"Did he...?" Niki asked, his fists tightening. "N-No... No.. He almost succeeded but... you.. saved me."
"Does he have your original tapes?" Niki asked. "No, they were... copies.. of them in two seperate pen drives..."
"You know Kihyun's official address?" Niki asked another question. "Yes... Why?"
"Consider the tapes removed from everywhere it was." Niki smiled as he rushed to the bedroom. He took his laptop out of his closet.
Sunghoon had followed him to the bedroom. "W-What are you gonna do?" Sunghoon had gained a little hope from Niki's confidence.
