Heeseung knocks on the window gently, calling out his name.

"Sunoo, unlock the car door. We need to talk to you."

Sunoo sees Heeseung and decides to let them in.

Heeseung opens the door and climbs into the passenger seat next to Sunoo, followed by Jake in the backseat.

He looks at Sunoo with concern, his voice gentle.

"Are you okay? You ran off so quickly, we were all worried about you."

"What do you think?"

Sunoo says looking absolutely defeated.

Heeseung sighs, realizing that Sunoo is far from okay.

Jake speaks up from the backseat, his voice filled with worry.

"We just saw that article. Sunoo, you know that's all bullshit, right?"

"Yea....... but what if its not. They say I'm anoying and too "feminin". That I'm an atention seeker."

Sunoo looks at sunghoon.

Sunghoon is taken aback by Sunoo's words, feeling a pang of guilt.

He knows he's been especially harsh on him lately, but he hadn't realized the extent of Sunoo's insecurities.

Heeseung notices the interaction between the two and frowns, clearly displeased.

"Sunoo, don't listen to those haters. They have no idea what they're talking about. You're not an attention seeker or annoying."

"How am I suposed to believe that when someone I lo-"

Sunoo stops himself before saying more.

The members all go silent, sensing that Sunoo was about to say something important before stopping himself.

They exchange glances, wondering what Sunoo almost said.

Heeseung leans a bit closer to him, his voice gentle.

"Sunoo, what were you about to say? You can tell us."

".....When someone I care about also says it."

Sunoo says.

He isn't sure if he should have said that.

The members all freeze, shocked at Sunoo's words.

They look at each other, wondering who Sunoo was talking about.

Heeseung glances at Sunghoon, noticing his guilty look, then turns back to Sunoo.

"Who was it, Sunoo? Who said that to you?"

The members all freeze, shocked at Sunoo's words.

"Sorry.....I can't tell you."

Sunoo steels a glance at Sunghoon before he looks back at Heeseung.

Heeseung and the other members exchange puzzled looks once again.

It's clear that Sunoo wants to keep the person's name a secret for some reason.

Heeseung sighs, deciding not to push it further.

"Okay, you don't have to tell us if you don't want to. But you know that we're here for you, right? We care about you, Sunoo."

"Thank you....."

Sunoo says still glancing at Sunghoon, wondering is he thinking right now.

Heeseung notices Sunoo's glances at Sunghoon, growing more and more suspicious as to who the person Sunoo was talking about might be.
