Dear Friend (ATEEZ X Yeosang)

Yeosang's POV

W-why?

W-why would San punched me? The metallic tastes invade my mouth after the punch landed. I can feel blood seeping out from the corner of my lips.

I can't believe this.

The same hand that often caress me so gently just punched me.

Am I in some kind of realistic game?

"Is it so hard for you to tell us where are you going?!" San's yelling brings me back to my sense.

"I don't care anymore. I want you tell us where did you go this morning! Right now!"

San yelled.

I never saw him this angry. It was shocking

"Yeosang-ah, enough with this nonsense. Why you act so differently with us? We are a team!" Hongjoong yelled to me.

Hongjoong also?

Our team's relationship is cracking day by day, would it be selfish if I said it wasn't because of me even though I am aware that it actually is?

"Yeosang-ah, what is happening? You acted like we're just some kind of business partners. Do you know we had to postpone our schedule waiting for you just now? At least tell us where did you go?!" Mingi also was yelling.

Schedule?

Do we have schedule today?

It's not on my calendar.

"Seriously, if you're gonna act like this, just quit the group!" Wooyoung yelled, piercing straight through my ears.

Please, not him too.

"I tried to be kind but it's like you didn't care at all. You disappeared a few times already without informing us? Do you even realize we are a team? If one person made problem, the whole team will be responsible" Yunho was in rage.

Problem?

Did I cause a problem?

Then, Jongho throw his phone to me, the screen showing an article.

ATEEZ Yeosang Lose Weight?

ATEEZ Yeosang Has Conflict with Members?

ATEEZ Yeosang Been Bullied by the Members?

A few pictures attached on the articles showing a space between me and the other members during the variety show and interviews that we filmed the other day.

Ah, is it my fault although they were the one who scooted away from me that time?

It was all so overwhelming.

I feel so tiny under everyone's glare.

My headache is coming again. My heartbeat quicken and my forehead become sweaty.

I should just apologize.

Yes, all of this is my fault.

"I-I'm s-sorry. I-I visited my mom this morning. It was urgent. I didn't know we had a schedule. Sorry..." I explained softly.

Tears welled up in my eyes.

All their words pierced straight through my heart. Even San's punch wasn't that painful compared to their words.

How can they blame me on this?

"I will be more careful. Sorry" I said again, putting my hands together, bowing down to my manager and all the members.
