A year later,

The success of ULIVE was out of everyone's expectations. It was spreading smoothly nationally and goes international steadily. The proposal keep coming back and forth from top class artists to breaking out artists. Everyone's love it. Fans from around the world don't even hesitate to subscribe and follow their favorite artists.

You and Choa was amused by the reactions but at the same time, you're proud of yourself. You didn't expect the idea that came out from your annoyed feelings about how the industry treated your best friends could be this success.

"This is the general report for the first year revenues. I also summed up the details for best selling, most views, most followers artists and most subscribed shows. It's pretty satisfying for me personally to watch how those numbers grow." Choa handed you the report and you accepted it with a small smile.

"You've worked hard today. You may leave now." You said and she bow at you, turned around to leave the room but then you remember something. "And Choa!"

"Yes?"

"Empty my schedule after lunch. My father is finally coming back, we'll have lunch and spend the rest of the day together."

"Okay. Then can I go home after lunch?" She asked with lower voice and you eyed her mischievously.

"Only if you tell me your plan after lunch." I teased her and she laugh it off.

"Stop it, Cindy! I'm leaving." She didn't burdened you who keep calling her name because she know, you'll just tease her again and again.

Yeah, after almost a year finally she started to open her heart for Taehyung. No, they haven't officially dating yet but she agreed on going out with him more often. Sometime four of you went to 'double date' even though Choa keep refusing the title since they're just friend, she said.

But you know Taehyung on the other side was way too damn happy. He makes a huge progress. You remember how that one night he called you, screaming and yelling like a highschool girl, bragging about how she agreed to going out with him.

On the other hand, You and Yoongi has been doing well with each other as well. At least that's what you hope. Actually, both of you has been so busy with works. They spent their time mostly at overseas now, doing promotion and world tour. Even when they're coming back, he would still so busy working in his studio, or busily practice their choreography, and tons of schedules were waiting for him.

While you, even though you're not an idol or celebrities, you're still as busy as a bee. Your father's health condition is getting worst, so he couldn't work as much as he used to, which means your responsibility is getting bigger and bigger as days passed. The pressure was no joke and it's getting more impossible to trust anyone in your company.

You don't know if it's just you being paranoid but ever since the news spreaded about your father's health, you feel like everyone have different gazes when they stare at you. Especially her, Park Chaeyoung.

She wasn't so happy when she congratulated you in the first launching of ULIVE.
She didn't come on the party you held last week for the celebration of the ULIVE achievement.
She didn't talk to you at all.

"Hey Cindy."

"YES?" you were so surprised that you accidentally yell and stand on your feet almost instantly.

Choa who just entered the room, eyeing you confusedly.

"I'm sorry if I surprised you but I knocked few times and you didn't answer."

"A-Ah that's okay. I just lost in my thoughts. What's the matter?" you asked while you sit back on your chair and tidying up your papers.

"Uhh, Yoongi is here. I mean- he's with Taehyung. They came together. So, uhh-Yoongi wanted to see you and your father together, right?" She talks like a new intern which makes you giggles.

"You've been working with me for years but you never stutters until Kim Taehyung." You teased her and watch her blushing. Wow, your best friend really have this kind of effect on her.

"I-I'm not- it's just, he said-"

"Ahh, so Tae texted you, saying he came here with Yoongi because Yoongi wanted to come here to accompany me to my father AND your soon to be boyfriend is here to pick you up too?" You smirked and she goes even redder.

"Cindy, how many times I told you, we're just friends?! I was just-"

"Hey, Choa. It's okay." You whisper to her slowly. "I don't know what kind of shtty things you've been through back then that makes you scared, but I wanted to tell you it's okay to try again. It's okay to open your heart again, don't be shy, don't be scare. Okay? As your friend, I would be so happy for you and him." You told her slowly and she finally calm down but still, the redness on her cheeks didn't fade away that easily.

"Y-Yoongi's waiting for you in the parking lots along with Tae." she muttered slowly and leaving you.

Skipping happily, you walked out from your room and wave at Choa who also preparing herself to leave the office. You can't wait to meet Yoongi. It's been weeks since the last time you saw him face to face.

You were waiting for the elevator and once it opened, your smile faded away at the face of the person in the elevator, Park Chaeyoung.

"Going home early huh?" She started once the elevator started moving.

"Yeah. My father came back today." You answered truthfully. There's no use lying to her neither you have reasons to lie to her.

"Of course, need to put on some nice masks before the big day isn't it?" She asked sarcastically and before you managed to answer, the elevator reached the parking floor. "Don't worry, everything will eventually falls to its place." She added with a smirk before leaving you dumbfounded.

You were so mad at yourself for looking so dumb and shut your lips at her. It's not that you were afraid of her but you were just so surprised at the sudden conversation from her? What does she mean though?

"Hey, sorry for waiting too long. Hey, Tae." You greeted them once they slid down the car's window for you.

"Cindy, w-who is she?" Yoongi asked you with a straight face which makes you notice the awkward situation. Taehyung didn't greet you back and he doesn't even smile at you. Doesn't he's supposed to be all smiley and happy?

That boy was always like that ever since that night he called you. Now, what happened? Yoongi's looks wasn't helping either.

"Who? Which she?"

"The one walked out from the elevator with you, who's she?" Yoongi asked again and this time you notice Taehyung turned to wait for your answer.

"Oh, you mean my cousin, Park Chaeyoung? She-"

"Your what?!" Now it's Taehyung's turn to ask, or more like yell at you.

"Wh-what tf?! What happened? Did you two know her or something???" You asked but seems like neither both of them ready to give you the answers.

"Tae, Choa would be here in minutes. Get yourself together. Don't mess up." Yoongi turn to him and pat his shoulder which he reply with a small nod. Then Yoongi turn to you and unlocked the door. "Let's move to your car. I'll explain everything."

"What's that, Yoongii? Tell me." you can't hold it anymore. You were curious and curiousity killed the cat they said.

"She's the cause of his tears."

"WHAT?"
