"Well sharks are more scared of us than we do them"
"How does that relate to all of this"

Eunchae POV
I stood in front of the mirror, adjusting the cap on my head and pulling my hoodie over it, trying to make myself as unrecognizable as possible. My heart raced, my mind torn between what I was about to do and the consequences that could follow. I knew what I had to do, but it still felt like a dream, something too reckless, too impulsive. But tonight... tonight, I couldn't let that stop me.
I pulled my mask over my face, giving myself one last look in the mirror. It wasn't perfect, but it would have to do. I couldn't stay here, not while my mind was spinning like this. I had to see him. I had to talk to Y/N. My heart wouldn't let me rest until I did.
Just as I was about to leave, the door to the room creaked open, and I froze. Kazuha, Sakura, and Chaewon stood there, arms crossed, watching me with curious but knowing eyes. I swallowed, already preparing a lie in my head, but it felt weak before it even left my mouth.
"Where are you going?" Chaewon asked, eyebrow raised.
"I'm just... um... going out for a bit. Just to clear my head," I mumbled, trying to sound casual, though I could feel the nervousness creeping into my voice.
They exchanged glances, not buying it for a second.
"Eunchae," Sakura said softly, stepping forward, "you're not fooling anyone. You're going to see Y/N, aren't you?"
I bit my lip, my eyes darting between them. "I-I don't know what you're talking about..."
Kazuha smirked, shaking her head. "You're wearing a disguise, and it's raining outside. It's pretty obvious what's going on here."
I sighed, shoulders slumping as I realized there was no point in hiding it. "I just... I need to see him. I can't stop thinking about him, and with the world tour coming up, it'll be months before I get the chance again. I don't even know if I'll see him after that."
They looked at me with understanding, but also a hint of sadness. I could tell they knew how much I was struggling. After everything that had happened, after the forced breakup, the harsh words I had to say, I couldn't just sit here and do nothing.
Chaewon stepped closer, resting a hand on my shoulder. "If you need to see him, then go. We'll cover for you. You don't need to lie to us."
I blinked, surprised by their support. "Really?"
Kazuha smiled, giving me a thumbs up. "We've got your back. Go, Eunchae. You deserve this."
Sakura nodded in agreement. "And we'll handle things with the manager. Just... be careful, okay?"
A wave of gratitude washed over me, and I felt a small smile creep onto my face. I didn't deserve such kind friends, but I was thankful they were here for me.
