After the shooting for B.A.P's MV, they all went out for dinner. They all decided to eat at a restaurant  near the location of where they shot the MV and since it was a weekday, there weren't any costumers but B.A.P, their manager, Jo, Mido and the rest of the crew. 

B.A.P and the 2 girls sat on a round table. They were seated in this order : Jo, Zelo, Yongguk, Himchan, Daehyun, Mido, Youngjae and Jongup. The group ordered their food and started chatting with each other. 

"Sooo....Jo and Zelo are together now...that's nice" Mido started as she started clapping followed by the others. "Congrats to the new couple, the two of you reaaaally look good together"

The couple who was being applauded humbly bowed their heads from gratitude and at the same time embarrassment. 

"What about you Mido? Are you having a great time? I heard you're a huge fan of B.A.P" Jo asked as soon as she recovered from the embarrassment.

"Oh yeah....the manager told us you were a fan" Yongguk said to Mido. "So...who's your favorite member?"

"If I remember correctly, she liked...Daehy-" Jo started but was cut off by Mido.

"Youngjae oppa!"

"Ohhhh" the group said collectively.

"I thought I was your favorite?" Daehyun said with a pout.

"That was before...and things have changed!" Mido said while playing with her knife.

"Don't be so sad Dae, you still have a lot of fangirls out there..." Youngjae said, trying to comfort his friend.

It only took a few minutes for their orders to arrive. They all ate while telling each others stories, but most of the time the rest of the group pushed the couple to tell their story. After all of the chatting and eating, Mido can't help but notice something wrong with Jo. Mido then decided to have a one on one talk with Zelo. After all of them were done eating and were just chatting amongst themselves Mido asked Jo if she could talk with Zelo alone, giving Jo an excuse that she needed to see if Zelo really was for Jo....

Both Zelo and Mido stood up and went to a place where they would be out of earshot.

"Hello, what is it you want to talk about?" Zelo asked.

Mido looked around before she asked Zelo "Has Jo gotten over...Baekhyun?"

"O..Of course!" Zelo stuttered. "She has me..."

"I hope so...It's just that there's something wrong with Jo...there's something..."

"Uh, maybe she's changed? It's been a while since you two met each other you know"

"Maybe you're right...Has she been working lately?"

"No, not that I know of...Why?"

"Because she has awfully dark eye bags for someone who just stays at home all day...Are you with her everyday?"

Zelo became uneasy as the conversation went on. "Yeah..I currently live there"

"I need you to watch her...does she still cough out blood and those kind of things?"

"No"

The two of them hear Jo call them for afar, the group was standing up from their seats.

"Just..." Mido placed her hand on Zelo's shoulder "Just watch her okay?"

Zelo nodded in response "Okay"

Jo reached the two of them. Zelo placed his arm around Jo and both of them went out of the restaurant, while Daehyun walked beside Mido.

"Are you still mad because of what I did?"

"Huh?" Mido asked not looking at his direction.

"I'm really sorry"

"Hahaha, I'm tired...let's talk tomorrow?" Mido said as she patted Daehyun on the back and dashed off.

-------------------------------------

Jo and Zelo got home and went in their respective rooms to wash up and prepare for bed.

As soon as Zelo reached his room, he closed the door and jumped on the bed. "What an tiring day..." he thought to himself. He was still thinking of what Mido had said to him when he hear a crash on the other room. He quickly got up and ran to Jo's room. Zelo knocked and tried opening the door, which was locked. "Hey are you alright?!"

"Uh yeah!!! I just knocked over a vase" Jo responded.

"You need help to clean it?"

"No, thanks"

After Zelo was sure that Jo was alright, he walked back to his room, but as he was about to open the door he heard a loud thud from Jo's room, jogged back and knocked again.

"Jo?"

no answer

"Hey Jo are alright?!" 

He knocked several times but no one answered, he finally decided to open the door by running to it with full force, using his shoulder to knock the door over. With one powerful push he got the door unlocked. The door opened revealing a dark room. Jo was on the floor, crying and coughing, her hand covered with blood. Surrounding her was a broken vase and withered flowers scattered everywhere. Zelo ran to Jo and carried her, as he got closer he saw Jo's phone on her hand. He noticed that Jo was trying to call someone.

The caller ID says: Byun Baekhyun
