Sun didn't return to the dorms until dawn and she had to pick up Aron from her parents house first. Her family didn't question the fact that she had left her supposed boyfriend with them all night. Aron was rather glad when Sun saw him, which meant that her father had given him good news. But his happiness dropped an octave when he saw Sun's expression. "I take it things didn't go well." He told her, biting his lip nervously.

"He broke up with me." She replied, her tone was emotionless. She had become a shell of her former self. 

Not knowing what to say to her, he brought her in for a hug. That was all it took to get the tears flowing again and she cried into his arms while they waited for one of the agency cars to pick them up. He said words of reassurance to her, all which were empty and without meaning because it had already happened. Her relationship with Yixing was over and there was nothing she could do about it.

She cried the entire way back to the Pledis dorms which were a twenty minute drive from her house in the residential areas of Seoul. Her vision was so dramatically blurred by her tears and her smeared make up that he had to walk her up the stairs to her floor and then all the way to her dorm room. Some of the girls were already awake at that time. Some were eating breakfast in the lounge, while others were in the shower to get ready for the new day. 

Only Sarang was still in her room, since she had been waiting for her group mate to return.

She knew things hadn't gone well when she saw her crying inconsolably. Sun let go of Aron's embrace and ran into her group leader's arms. Sarang drew her arms around her and hugged her tight. 

"Mae," Aron called from the doorway. "The offer is still open. I can talk to him if you want, all you need to do is let me know. Maybe he'll listen to me."

Sun gave a shake of her head, but said nothing. The sobs that wracked her chest were too strong to provide her with the chance to speak. 

"Or at the very least I can beat him up for making you cry like this." He made another offer, hoping that it would make her feel if even just a little bit better. 

Once again she shook her head as a response. 

She didn't want Yixing and Aron getting into a fight because it would bring about more drama. Also, she knew that their break up was her fault. Everything he told her was a valid reason. She waited too long, and it seemed like their relationship was going nowhere. Even if she had finally decided to tell the truth, their relationship was damaged. Maybe even beyond repair.

He stood in the doorway awkwardly for a few more minutes until he finally decided to excuse himself. "Well, call me if you need anything. Anything at all." He said, followed by an awkward cough. Sarang nodded and thanked him for his help in getting her back to the dorms and the member of Nu'est was out the door within seconds.

Sarang led Sun to her bed and helped her lay down. The maknae immediately pulled the covers over her face and continued crying. They had important commitments for that day. They had just gotten done recording the vocals for their next mini album which would be out in two months. They would also begin learning the dance routines for the songs which they would record a music video for. And most recently their managers at Pledis had informed them that they would be going on tour through Asia that summer. They needed to practice in order to get everything perfect because there was a rumor that EXO would also be touring. 

Sun was clearly not up for it at that time, and Sarang thought up an excuse to get her out of practices for a few days.

Sarang had gotten off the phone with their manager Lina, making up a lie that Sun had suddenly fallen ill and needed a few days of bed rest. That would buy her enough time to herself. Lina was skeptical and doubtful about the sudden news, but she allowed it after talking with the higher up people in the agency. They didn't want to risk one of their idols remaining ill when Baby Lips were planning to go on their first tour--especially when Sun was one of the four vocalists in the group.
