BACKSTAGE AT M-COUNTDOWN

Jihoon POV

My eyes scanned the waiting area desperately looking for any trace of Y/N. We didn't have much time before we were to perform and I knew Monsta X would be performing right before us so I knew they had to be around here somewhere.

I walked over to Mingyu and elbowed him.

"Any sign of her or the members from her group?" Mingyu smirked down at me.

"Oh what, cant you see above everyone, Woozi hyung??~~" I proceeded to kick him in the shin and he bent of while sucking air through his teeth.

"Hyung we're about to perform! You cant injure me right before a performance!" I rolled my eyes at his pain.

"You could do this choreography easily so stop your whining and tell me if you see them. You owe me since you lied to Y/N about being ME." Mingyu cowered down a bit and finally agreed to look. "Ah! Hyung! I think I see Hyungwon and Minhyuk over by the entrance!" before he spoke another word I ducked through the crowd and made my way to them.

"Do you really need me to walk you to the bathroom?" I heard the familiar voice ask.

"You know I don't like going crowded places by myself!" Minhyuk cried.

"Okay I got it, lets just go." Hyungwon replied.

"Wait!" I cried out. I saw as the two of them turned to face me.

"Ah! Woozi! How are you doing?" Minhyuk asked with a big grin.

"Im doing alright, not to be rude, but where is Y/N, its urgent." I saw the two of them turn to each other in a questioning manner as if contemplating whether or not they should tell me where she was.

"I know she doesn't want to see me, and if you don't want to take me to her, that's fine, but please, I beg of you." I pulled a piece of paper out of my pocket and placed it in Minhyuks hands. "Please give this to her and tell her to read it before our performce." I heard some of the members call me. I turned to look at them and looked back at the members.

"I beg you. Please." And with that I turned to reunite with my members.

Minyuk POV

I watched as Woozi left looking very down hearted and I looked at Hyungwon.

"Should we give it to her?" I asked.

He rolled his eyes at me and snatched the paper away. "Of course we should! Now come on! They go on in 10 minutes!" I watched as he took off running. I had never seen him have this much enthusiasm for something like love.

I smiled and chased after him. We ran into Shownu, quite literally.

"Where are you two in such a hurry to get to?" he asked us.

Hyungwon who was currently gasping for air held the piece of paper in front of Shownu's face. "For....Y/N" Shownu patted his pack and took the paper.

"Ill get this to her, don't worry!" And we watched him run off. I looked at Hyungwon who had finally caught his breath.

"How are you this out of shape when we dance almost 24/7?!" He waved me off and I laughed it off. Cute kid.

Y/N POV

I had just finished talking with the producer and was turning to go find the boys when they found me.

"Y/N, you need to read this right now." Shownu quickly said as he pushed a piece of paper into my hands. I looked at it and then him, questioningly.

"Who is this from?" he shook his head.

"Im not sure, its passed through a few different people but I do know its urgent." I did one small nod and proceeded to unfold the paper.



"Dear Y/N,

Please don't stop reading just yet. Just see this through and then if you truly don't ever want to speak to me again, Ill disappear from your life as best I can.

I made a mistake. I let my jealousy get in the way of even finding out the truth and for that, I am sorry. I didn't mean anything I said in anger. DK explained everything to me and I feel like an idiot. An idiot who doesn't deserve your time or your love. But I beg you. Listen to the song we are about to perform. I wrote it for you.

I think...I think it clearly get across everything Ive been feeling. Including how much of an idiot I feel like. When I sing today, Im singing for you. I miss you Y/N. We all do. I know you cant or maybe wont come back. But please don't leave my life. You were one of the few things that took me out of the hustle of this life and made me feel ...alive.

I have to go now. But please, watch us. Watch me.

-Your Jihoon."



After I finished reading the letter I had many conflicting feelings. I still wanted to run away. But I also wanted to hear this song that he said he wrote for me. I looked up at Shownu.

"What should I do Shownu-ssi..." I whispered. He hugged me and whispered to me.

"I think you already know what you WANT to do, so I would start there." He let me go and patted my head before turning and walking away.

Seventeen was about to go on. I knew I had to decide now if I wanted to stay, or runaway. I began walking and decided to just go wherever my feet would take me. I ended up in the front row. Stage left. I wanted to hide myself just a bit to not be too obvious.

I watched as all 13 boys who I cared for so much took the stage. Seungkwan spotted me and a huge smile broke out on his face and I couldn't help but smile back. He poked at Jihoon and I saw him quickly turn and we locked eyes. His eyes looked so sad but he smiled at me and mouthed something to me. I couldn't quite tell what it was but it didn't matter.

They had all taken their positions and the lights dimmed. The room grew quiet. Lights came up and the first note played.
