Staring became the only form of communication you could do. You stopped wiping the mirror and looked at him. You fallen deeper into his eyes, a salvation which you could not find anywhere else. Your lips tilted as if they meant to.

"Kihyun-ah, its this way."

There was no prize in showering him with heartfelt and motivational letters, forking out money to ensure he eaten his meals regularly, standing up for him online when malicious comments targeted at him and uploading videos to prove his charming attitude. Kihyun knew of you behind these backdrops. However, he appreciated you as Sassycakes, your admin name for your social media accounts and written letters instead of who you are, Kang Y/N.

"Yah, go and buy us some food."

You blinked and shook your head when Kihyun stood infront of you with eyes cold as the void. You glanced over to your wristwatch, the time already past eleven.

"Hurry up! What are you staying here for?"he roared, catching the attention of the members.

Each one of them knew of his detestation towards you. Everytime he talks to you, it was a cycle of destruction to your fragile heart but you didn't care about it. His attention for you and smile was enough. Changkyun, a friend of yours, furrowed his eyebrows and sauntered over to your side.

"What is the problem?"Changkyun curled his fingers into a fist with eyes narrowed, rigid and cold.

"I'm telling her to buy food. It's just a simple task,"Kihyun jabbed his finger at you.

Changkyun drew in a deep breath, his heart hammering erratically. You were never afraid of Kihyun's anger but when it came to Changkyun, you were deadly frightened of his ice. You constantly told him to restrict himself because Kihyun is older than him and that he knew very well you loved Kihyun.

"It's already late. Why are you asking her to buy food for us?"Changkyun looked at him with widened eyes.

Kihyun kept his gaze off you as your eye contact might disgust him. "That's her job anyway,"he rolled his eyes.

"I'll go with her,"Changkyun snatched the money from Kihyun's hand and seized your wrist. Your eyes bulged open as Changkyun grabbed your bag and stormed out of the dance studio without any glances at his members.

Despite reaching the lobby, Changkyun's grasp didn't let go. You winced in pain as he unknowingly dragged you with a tight grip.

"Changkyun, you're hurting me!"

After you spoke up, he twirled around and yanked your wrist away. Fires of fury were smoldering in his narrowed eyes as he retorted back.

"You are hurting me too!"he shouted venomously.

His hard staring eyes accompanied with hard edge voice made you gulp.

"How long are we keeping this secret? You want Kihyun to treat you that badly? I know we have talked about this before but I can't stand it anymore!"he roared with clenched fists.

Your heart pounded as you averted your eyes from him. Changkyun and you agreed on keeping your identity concealed but none of us understand why Kihyun had to mistreat you severely. You believed that hiding yourself would allow a safe distance. Moreover, deciphering how Kihyun treated you, perhaps he might not want to believe that you were the person whom he was looking for.
