Hansol's POV

Closing my door, I sped walk to the cemetery. I try to go almost everyday before school just to visit my family. It's been years since it's all happened, yet I'm still in shock staring at my parent's grave, let alone my sister's. Before I know it, I sit in front of my mother's grave, placing a couple of flowers.

"I have to make this quick," I whisper to her, "So I just wanted to make sure you know I love and miss you. And I'm going to make it big. For- for all of you," I turned to Sofia and my father's grave as well, "And I think... I think I'm falling for someone I'm not even dating."

Mia's POV

"T.J!" I exclaim at my first friend.

"Hey," he smiles, not even hesitating taking the food I presented him with.

"Getting warmer now that it's almost March, yeah?"

He nodded.

I went on ranting about my life and he listened and didn't say anything until I accidentally spilled my deep feelings for Hansol.

"You want to be with him?" he asked.

"I- He makes me happy. And I want him to be comfortable, and happy. Ever since we've been working on this debut, he just has been showing his true colors. And they're good ones."

That ended our conversation as I got up and made my way to school. I sat with Seungkwan, as always, and he sang to me his pitches, asking if they sounded good. I nodded which boosted his ego enough to practice the dance right there, which triggered nearby Hoshi to come over and criticize him on his stance. Giggling, I looked down at my phone, which read.

Dad: Missed call (7:10 AM)

I felt my heart skip a beat and I excused myself from the boys, looking down at my phone. I bumped right into a taller figure, muttered a "sorry" and tried to move along. The figure happened to be Hansol, though. He grabbed my hand and gave a questioning look.

"Hey," he lightly laughed, "You look cute."

"H- hi. Thanks," I smiled back, "Practice tonight."

"Hm, as always. I wanted to ask you something actually."

"Yeah?"

He shifted uncomfortably and then shook his head vigorously, "No, uh. No, no. Nevermind. See you around."

"Oh. Okay," I replied, disappointed for some reason.

The day flew by but my dad's call in the back of my head distracted me. I was half scared, half angry. Who knows why he called? It could be as simple as a mistake or drastic as him finding me. I knew he wanted custody, to show off his pretty little daughter. It just frightened me to even think of leaving a place I'm now so comfortable with, let alone go with an abusive monster like him. I got a cab to the old parking garage everyone meets up at for practice.

"$23.90," the driver bluntly said as we reached the destination.

"Aish," I said as I looked though my almost empty wallet, "I'm having a hard time... I only have $15."

"Hm," she replied, "Well you have to pay."

"Well, how can I pay since I literally have no money on me?" I said, trying to stay respectful.

We heard an obnoxious knocking on the window and turned to Hansol's face pressed up against the glass. He smirked at me and I motioned that I'm in trouble. He quickly reacted and knocked on the window even more so the lady would pull it down, which she did.
