I Believe

♡7: revealing the secret♡

"You want to quit the show?" Manager Kim asks me. I nodded. "Why?" I didn't say anything, I just stood there while my tears fall.

"I..-" the phone interrupts me.

"Hello?" He pauses for a long time. "I've been aware. Uh huh." He widens his eyes as he bawled up hands. "Thank you for telling me." He puts the phone back. "Come with me." He brings me to a room. "Sit here quietly and wait. Don't get out of this chair okay?" I nodded. He left the room. Kathy soon comes in.

"Can you tell me everything that happened at the show? Why do you want to kill yourself? What's so urgent you're pleading for help on live TV? Is this why you're always crying?" I shrugged.

"I.. I.." I didn't say anything. I just started crying. Someone has finally figured out my puzzle. From this point on, I couldn't control my tears. I no longer have to live life like this.

"You don't have to talk. Not yet. Cry it all out." Kathy wrapped her arms around me. I finally feel safe and worthy for once after a long time.

"Can you stop recording now?" Manager Kim asked the director. "There's obviously something bothering her." The director moves his camera to the right angle to get the shot of the security cameras.

"Manager Kim! Manager Kim!" Baekhyun yells running in.

"Huh? What are you doing here?" Manager Kim asked.

"Look what I found." Baekhyun hands him the crumpled yellow paper.

Frustrated, Manager Kim slammed the table after reading it.

"Read it. Read this paper and tell me something isn't bothering that child!" John picked up the crumpled piece of paper.

"Why wouldn't she tell anyone if someone was bothering her?" John asked. "If someone was bothering her she should've said something!"

"How do you know the situation? The person bothering her might've been threatening her!" Manager Kim yelled back. "Baekhyun-ah. Do you know anything about how she was acting? Was she like this for a long time? Or only when the competition started?"

"I would be lying if I said she didn't change. But I don't know the full details. Sorry sir." He bows.

"You're close with her right? No, I have a better idea. Bring your whole group over including Christina." Manager Kim orders.

"She definitely changed. A hundred percent." Christina says. "I knew something was bothering her. She use to be very talkative and happy and crazy but now.. I have proof too. Do you have my phone?" Christina asked Manager Kim. He nods and hands it over to her. "Look at this."

'Ahahaha- Stop it!' Wendy yells.

'Oh my gosh, why are you laughing so loud? It's 4am in the morning.' Janice complains.

'Eonni!! Love me.' Wendy yells as she sprays whip cream all over her face. Christina stops the video.

"You're still going to tell me the show didn't cause this problem?" Manager Kim asked.
