Jisoo sat there in the church, playing Jeonghan's Gibson guitar sprawled out onto the church's floor. The song Seungkwan hummed was stuck in his head for weeks, and because of that he couldn't tolerate how irritating his fingers were, itching to pluck the guitar he used to borrow from the long haired church server. And yes he used to be a band member of a band that recieved tremendous popularity back in 2013, the band named 4! 6!.

The said boy band actually consisted three members, Lee Jihoon or also know as Woozi, the leader, keyboardist, bassist and vocalist. Boo Seungkwan, the main vocalist. And Hong Jisoo also known as Joshua is the guitarist, bassist and vocalist. They were the hottest group of singers back in that year and all males and females were head over heels for them, however, as I mentioned in the last chapter, they fell apart because of the incident that occured in Jisoo's family during the earthquake.

"Jisoo . . .  Woah that plucking style!" Seokmin excitedly squealed at the guitarist then sat beside him. He stared at the older in awe, completely amazed at Jisoo's unique yet difficult style of plucking.

Jisoo just smiled then carried on playing the Gibson guitar.

"You know, yesterday a newspaper flew on my face. I thought it was irritating at first but I found out something interesting."

"What?"

"Seungkwan used to actually be a member of 4! 6!"

And that, was what made Jisoo flinch. I knew it, he was Seungkwan all along, I failed to recognise him because he grew so much after all these years. He thought, suddenly losing the will to continue playing his guitar. Traumatising thoughts flashedback to his mind again, and he didn't like it.

"Seungkwan! Ready for the concert?" Hong Jisoo chirped, all prepared for the huge crowd of people awaiting for their presence in the enormous platform. Seungkwan nodded reluctantly then cleared his throat for better vocals. "I can't wait to see their happy expressions." He answered jumping in joy.

"Well I cannot believe that we came this far." Jihoon joined in, crossing his arms, letting out a toothy smile. The three felt thankful for the blessings that showered upon them, but, little did they know that their happiness can't last forever.

r i n g . . .

Jisoo answered the phone call. "Hello-- " The line got cut off by the ground shaking lightly. At first they shrugged it off but when it gradually became stronger and harder, the hanging objects from the ceilings shook aggressively then the people began clutching to their dear life.

Oh crap, it's an earthquake. Jihoon thought, nearly passing out by the intense screaming of the people sorrounding them.

While the three band members were struggling to follow the basic rules of survival inside the backstage, the fans started panicking at the sudden quaking of the ground, their enthusiastic screams being replaced by agonising ones. Some passed out, some ran for their lives as the speakers and lights hung from above the concert arena fell on the V.I.P row, causing it to crush some people who did not manage to escape.

Jisoo struggled to grab tightly onto Seungkwan and Jihoon's arm as he phone called his aunt quicky. Luckily, his aunt answered, however, they couldn't hear each other clearly because of the helpless screaming of the people. "Jisoo!! Can you hear me?! Jisoo!!" His aunt shouted, attempting to fight the loud noises the cracking concretes create.

"Jisoo!! Jis--"

Beep. Beep. Beep

No, no, no, no, no. Jisoo thought looking at the dead phone. How idiotic, he did not charge his phone this morning.

His aunt felt fear since she was alone in the kitchen, the oil spilling to the ground and the lit up matches accidentally falling to the spilt oil, thus, it creates enormous orange flames that slowly burnt her skin. She suffered under the flame, her face getting melted first followed by her whole body. Jisoo's uncle on the other hand, struggled to avoid the falling rocks from where he is but unfortunately failed when he got squashed over a ridiculously large one.

Jisoo cried so hard, keeping his best to evade the huge pieces of cement falling, from the flickering lights, to the quaking ground. He sobbed and sobbed, feeling that it was the end of the world for him. He accidentally let go of Seungkwan's hand making Seungkwan slip and let out a loud yelp feeling something stabbed onto his leg. It was a metal rod sinking into his leg, as blood kept flowing out helplessly.

It looked like total disaster, the place which was planned to be where their dreams will come true fell apart, looking like they really weren't destined to be this happy, like recieving the happiness they had from being tremendously popular was just a trap.

A trap for false hope.

"D-did you know that I was also part of the band as well? And I caused the pitfall for us." Jisoo had stammered out, still fazed by the thought of Seungkwan losing everything due to the earthquake. He thought it was his fault. Eversince that natural calamity ruined his career, he always longed for the rain. The sign that the earthquake came to a halt.

The sign that his misery came to a halt.

How come I did not notice that before? That all this time my patient was actually the Hong Jisoo. Seokmin thought while staring off into space in his bedroom. He was listening to the rain while lying down on his bed, awake.

He couldn't sleep by the thought of having a patient that used to actually be the biggest star of the universe, well for him that is. Loud patters tapped his roof and echoed in his room
but he stayed there on his bed, staring up. Have Jisoo considered of bringing the band back? Seokmin wondered.

Oh well, it's not like I can be of help anyways . . .
