HERMOSA

Dahyun has flown to Thailand just a while ago.

Jaebum was busy with his fan meeting and all other events.

It was Christmas...yet it was so cold and lonely for the both of them.

-----

"Im Jaebum!" The director shouted at him.

They were in the director's room. Jaebum was called to come to the director's office immediately this morning. He has no idea what is this commotion about at the company and he was the main talk about this issue.

It has been five days after Dahyun left. His life was back to the miserable and low-spirited.

"Did you know that I trust you? Did you know how much I was expecting on you?" Asked the director.

Jaebum remained silent. Because he truly did not know that the director was having a high hope for him. Because last time he kicked him out without mercy.

"I can't believe you are too stupid to do this when you know your current position." The director sighed out.

"Can you please tell me what this is about?" Jaebum spat back as he couldn't accept all of those hate and fake words coming from the director.

"Oh, so you don't know about it. Go check on the Celeb News recent hot topics. Take your time reading that." Said the director.

"I just want to make sure you know that you can't live this celebrity life if you want to keep doing things as you like. You are allowed to leave if you choose to keep doing whatever you like without my consent!" The director shouted as Jaebum still scrolling over browser searching for Celeb News article.

Then his eyes stop scanning as he finally saw his name.

"GOT7's Jaebum was having a secret affair with a convenience store girl!"

-----

"Is being a busy body is the only thing they know to do?" Jaebum blurted out as he sat down in the studio alone.

"Jaebum..." Someone called him from the door. He looked up and saw their manager hyung.

"Oh, hyungnim." He said and scooted over to give space for their manager to sit.

"Have you seen...the news?" Jaebum asked. Their manager sat down next to him. He nodded.

"I did."

"Do you believe that story?" Jaebum asked another question.

"It was partly true right?" Their manager replied.

Jaebum nodded.

"Yeah, partly true. But they make it sounds like it was wrong to love someone... it was a sin to have a friend that is not an artist and it's not worth breathing in this world." Jaebum complained. The manager chuckled.

"The publicity will do their best to cover that up. That news will definitely cool down soon." The manager stated and standing up about to leave the studio.

"Wait hyung..." Jaebum called for the manager. He stopped before going out of the studio.

"If possible, please do not cover up that story. Just leave the story as it is." Jaebum said.

"I don't think we can...the director was very furious you know...we need to cover this up. Anyway, it will just leave a hole in your heart. Think about the girl, how would she feel? I bet she doesn't like it." The manager replied and what he said is nothing but the truth.

Jaebum's greed might be poisonous for both of them; him and Dahyun.

But, it's not like they will ever meet again. They couldn't even predict the possibility. So, Jaebum decided to move on. 

As if he could do that.
