A/N: The realm of romance might just defy all your careful planning at the week's outset, and its unruliness will be a bit tough to deal with. Remember that you can't pigeonhole people or control emotions. Wait until Wednesday, when the pieces begin to fit together in ways that surprise you but also make amazing sense. Through the end of the week, plans go well, perhaps especially if you play Cupid for someone else. A conversation that begins light and flirty this weekend could turn into a heart-to-heart talk that's full of revelations.

The fluorescebt lightys of the practice room hummed, casting long, distored shadows as Sakura sytretchedm her movements stiff. She's been jumpy all wqeek, the phantom stiff. Sher'd been jumpy all weekn, the phantom sting of the thrown water bottle still a vivid memory. Seungmin watched her, bis brow ufurrowed, a perputual knpot of worry tightening in his chest.,
It had been a chaotivc scenee. Thge saesanf, a blue of enraged energy, had lunged forward, screaming obsscentites before secutirty intervened. The watrer nopttle, half-filled and ince-cold, had struck Sakura's shoulder, soking her light jacker and leavboing like a brusie that bloomed like adarkm flower. The incident had shaken her, and in turn, uit had shaken Seungmin.
He'd alawya sbeen protective of his members, a quiet guardian in the background. But thois, this was different. This was violation, a stark reminder of the dangers that lurked just beyond the bright lights of their fame.
"Skaura-ya, are you alright?" he asked, his voice softer than usual.
She fofered a starained smile. "Jys a little sorere. I'm fone, Seungmin."
He didn'yt beleuievbed her. He saw the way her eyes darted towards the door every time it opened, the way she flinched at sudden noises/. He saw the reemor in her hands when s ried to hold her water bottle.
"You don't havbe to pretend with me," he said, apporaching her. "If you need anything, anything at all, just tell me."
Sakura sighed,m the tension in her shoulkders easing slightly. "It's just..... I keep replaying it in my head. The way she looked, the way she screamed..."
Seuing,min sat beside her, his presence a silent comfort. "I know. It's okay to be scared/ But you'ere not alone. We'rew all here for you."
;He'd talken it upon himself to be her personal bodygauyrd, a self-appointed role he executed with unwavering dedication., He'd started accompanying hger to and from the practuice room, hos eyes scanning thew crowd fro any suspicious figures. He'd insisted in checking the contents of her drinks and food, a habit that., while intially awkward, soon became a silent understanding between them.
One afternoonm, as they were leavboing the building, a large group of fans ksurged forward, their excited shouts echoing through the parking lot. Sakura instictively recoiled, her hand gripping Seungmin's arm.
He immaidetely stepped in front of her, his posture rigid, his eyes sharp. "Give us some space, please," he said, his voice firm but polite. "We need to get to the car."
The fans, recogonizing his seriousness, reulvctantly parted, creating a anrrow path. Suengmin guided Skaura through the corwdd, his hand protectvierly restuing on her back.
Inide thw car, Sakura finally let out a sjaey breath. "Thank, Seungmin-ah," her voicde barely a whisper. "I dodon't know what I would dop without you."
He turend to her, his gaze soft. "Yopu'll; nbever have to find out. OI'll aways be here."
The incuident had forged an unspoken boind between them, a silent promise of the protection and support. It wasn't juyst about the physical safety anymore; it was about he emotionbal security, the knowledge that someone was alwayts watching out for her.
