Changbin's POV

"How did you took a photo of us?" I asked

"I didn't. Someone saw you and sent us the picture. Good thing it's not a person from media. We just arranged some deals with him and made him delete the pictures. It's all clear now. But I want you two to stop seeing each other from now on" Father

"What? Wait. I don't really understand, Father" I said and put down the pictures

"What can't you understand? The picture says it all. You two should break up and not cross paths again" Mr. Seo

"We're not even a couple" I looked at him

"I'm not against in your relationship. But you two know what can happen when the public will saw these pictures. Jiwon will debut this year, everyone will hate her and bash her because she's dating the son of the owner. They will hate the group and you know the rules" Father

"What rules?" I asked

"If a group has a lower chance of getting successful. They will disband as soon as possible. I guess you don't want that to happen to Jiwon" Father

I stayed quiet.

"She waited for 4 years for nothing? I'm doing this for you and for Jiwon. You will both live a happy and successful life if you will follow what I say" Father

"After Jiwon's debut. Her dating ban will start. If you're willing to wait, you will have to wait for 3 years. Both of you shouldn't see each other in public or have some public dates. I told you two, I'm not against in your relation. But I want you both to wait for the right time" Father

I looked away when I catched Jiwon's stare.

"Changbin, you can't visit Seo Entertainment for the meantime. You are only allow to go here when I called you" Father

"Sir, your meeting with the stockholders" Razi reminded

"I don't need to wait for your answers. I want you both to follow my order and act like you never met each other" Father said and left the room with Razi

I looked at Jiwon. She stood up and carried her bag.

"I'm sorry" I apologized

"No, you don't have to be sorry. We didn't want that to happen. We never expected things like this to happen. I guess your Father is right. We should stop seeing each other since we're both pursuing our dreams. I will debut and you will be the owner of Seo Entertainment. If everyone will know about those pictures, that will be a big blow up in public. Who would date a trainee, right? Maybe this is not the right time for us. But I think we should wait for the right time. If you can wait, I will promise you that it's only you" Jiwon smiled at me

"Can I drive you to Eunji's house?" I asked

"No, remember what your Father said earlier. You go home and I will go to the practice room" Jiwon smiled

"O-Okay. I'll go now" I smiled back

She nodded and left the office. I took a deep breath and sat on the couch. What the hell? Why is this happening to me? I'm so annoyed right now.

Minkyu calling...

[You busy? Shall we have some drink tonight?]

"I'm not in the mood. I just want to stay in my room for the whole year"

[Woah. What happened? This is the first time you rejected the beers]

"I feel like I'm heart just shattered into pieces"

[Eh? What happened? Are you getting crazy? You don't even have a girlfriend]

"Yeah, she's not yet my girlfriend but I feel like the world is against us"

[That's deep. Do you want me to go to your house? In case you want someone to listen to you]

"Yes, please. I need it"

[Okay, I'll go now]

I ended the call and sighed. I left Seo Entertainment and drove to my house. As soon as I arrived at my house, I quickly went to my room without greeting Jiyeon who's currently playing with her phone.

I lied down on my bed and covered myself with a blanket. Why do I feel like I'm sick? I want to stay here for the whole year.

"Knock knock knock" I heard Jiyeon said while knocking on the door

"What?"

"Are you sick?" she asked

"I wish I am sick. Can you please close the door when you leave?"

"What happened to you?" she asked

"Nothing"

"Minkyu came. Aren't you going down? He is waiting" Jiyeon

"Tell him to go here" I calmly said and covered my face with the blanket

I heard the door closed.

What's happening to me? Why am I so weird? I want to fucking rest. Why do I feel like I want to cry?

The door opened "Hey, Changbin. What happened to you?" It's Minkyu

He closed the door and sat on the bed.

"Are you okay?" he asked

I didn't answered and bursted out crying.

"Why are you crying?" Minkyu asked

"I just want to cry" I said and removed the blanket

"What happened?" Minkyu

"You know the girl I told you? Jiwon. Someone took a photo of us walking while holding each other's hands last night. Father saw it and wants us to stop seeing each other" I whispered

"Oh, listen. This is like, your Father is just the one who will advise you and Jiwon. While you and the girl named Jiwon will be the one who will make decisions. Your Father can't do anything if both of you want to continue seeing each other. But the consequences..." Minkyu

"But Jiwon already decided to stop seeing each other. I guess I do have to accept her decision. She wants to be an idol and she waited for a long time" I said

"What are you going to choose? Your happiness or her happiness?" Minkyu

"I want to be happy buy I think her happiness is more important than mine"
