For a long moment, I just sat there with a blank mind before Seungcheol stood up and left the room. I threw my covers aside and pulled off the IV wire before running out of the room to chase after him. I grabbed his arm to stop him from walking away but my movements were too big for people not to notice.

Spectators started pulling out their phones and whispering as Seungcheol turned around and pulled down his mask, as if on purpose. He swings my hand aside before growling, "Don't you dare come close to us again." And with that, he just walked away.

I felt my heart drop and my legs give way. I collapse on the ground as my chest felt heavy. I felt a pair of arms pick me up to my feet. I turned around to see a young man about my age, "Are you okay?"

I slowly nodded, "I'm fine." He laughed lightly and pointed to the room at the end of the hall, "Is that your room?" I nodded again. Suddenly he picked me up and brought me to my room even though there were still people around the area.

He left without a word after leaving me in the room. I sat there confused but reality hit me again and I just felt blank at what had just happened. After hours of sitting in the hospital, I was allowed to go home.

I don't remember what happened but the next thing I knew, I was already at the doorsteps. The door swung open just as I was about to unlock it. Seungcheol was standing there, surprised I  had reached home so quickly but simply walked away with his things.

I tried to stop him by running in front of him, "Seungcheol, let's talk." He just scoffed and grumbled, "There's nothing to talk about so fuck off unless you want us to remove your name from the property." My name? I thought to myself. It seemed like they had written my name on the property already even though we did no special meeting for such. He walks away from me but I don't give up.

"Seungcheol!" I yelled, furious with his actions, "Turn around and face me!" To my surprise, he turned around and slightly laughed before I continued, "Did you even like me?"

"Ha," he cackled a little, which sent a tingle down my spine, "Sure. I did. But your problems got into my life. You just became stupid. Selfish. Ignorant. I felt disgusted. So get out of my life bitch." I couldn't believe what I had just heard, all I could feel was guilt. I bit my lip and turned around before he could see a tear roll down.

I storm into the house and slammed the door shut, sliding down to the ground, I bury my face in my hands. I didn't know what to feel but all I could do was cry. Sobbing on the cold floor, I thought to myself why he didn't tell me sooner. I had built up so much trust in him that the cold shoulder he gave me felt like I was punched in the face. And his confession about what he really thought about me, it felt like a pierce right through my heart.

I don't remember what had happened the night before but I woke up on the cold floor right in front of the door. I probably cried myself to sleep. What had happened less than 24 hours ago still was a blur to me. I stood up slowly so I wouldn't wobble and fall. I climb up the stairs and into the room to find all of Seungcheol's things gone. It wasn't a surprise he had taken it before but it felt empty.

I had nothing. Only a few sets of clothes and makeup. I wanted to leave. So I packed my stuff back into the luggage I first brought to this house and shut it closed with a lock. I lied down on the floor and was about to just stay there when the door bell rang. I wasn't stupid. I knew it wasn't Seungcheol but went down anyways.

The screen showed a familiar handsome face but I don't think much about it and unlock the door for him. There standing was the familiar man and Yubin standing right next to him. She smiled innocently and ran over to hug me, "Unnie!" but I can't smile at her display of affection.

"You are?" I asked quietly to the man standing in the door way. He bowed and smiled, just as he introduced himself, I remember where I saw him from, "Annyeonghaseyo, I'm Kang Minhwan. We met in the hospital yesterday?"

"Ah yes," I bowed back, "I'm Yoon Jiyeon." and I don't add the nice to meet you. He laughed lightly, "This young lady here is supposed to be the kid you babysit?"

"Not really, not anymore," I said quietly as Yubin ran around the house, looking for Seungcheol. He laughed again but this time, a hint of nervousness is found, "Oh, I see. She said she misses you. Yeah, sorry about that. I should've returned her to her mom."

"It's okay," I mumbled, "I ca-" But he interrupted me, sticking his hand out, "I'll take care of her. From what I saw yesterday, you and your boyfriend idol of yours aren't in great condition. I won't tell her."

"Stay here." I blurted, I didn't mean it that way but he took it that way right away. I was suspicious of him and didn't want him to take Yubin away so I felt like he should be under my radar.

"Okay," he laughed again, "Yubinah! Let's eat lunch!" My jaw dropped open as I looked around for a clock, it was already almost 1pm.

I sighed as I turned around and was about to walk upstairs when he called out to me, "Jiyeon, if you need anything, I'll do my best to cheer you up."

I just nod at him before walking away. I slowly drag my body back upstairs and opened the bedroom door before simply sitting on the floor. "Minhwan oppa," I hear Yubin call out, "Where is Seungcheol oppa?" He laughed again as if he laughed all the time, "Out. He is very busy."

"Ani..." she said quietly but I can still hear her, "What happened to unnie and oppa?" This time Minhwan laughed nervously, "Ah, it's complicated."

Yeah. It is.
