"No, you are not listening to me! I'm not cheating on you, why don't you just believe me?" Lee shouts into his phone. "You know what? I have enough, yes exactly! I'm breaking up with you too!" 

As he ends the call - angrily slamming his phone on the couch in his dressing room - he spots Faye standing in front of the door, looking at him shyly. Lee can't help but sigh, wondering if she heard what he said. Well, she probably did, after all he literally shouted at his phone. Probably everyone heard him shout.

"Hi, uh, I just wanted to- who were you talking to?" Faye asks, despite it is kinda obvious to her. Obviously she also heard what Lee said - every word - but he doesn't need to know.

"My fitness trainer." Lee lies, turning around. "Don't you have a dressing room to go to?"

"Sure I have. What's the matter?"

"Faye, can't you annoy H? I just was talking to my fitness trainer, that's all!" he snaps at her. 

Despite being saddened by his words, Faye just approaches Lee and puts a hand to his shoulder. "Yes because I'm telling my fitness trainer too that I'm not cheating on him and stuff." she says sympathetically. 

"Faye in all honesty, what do you want?" Lee sighs, immediately regretting his words. 

"You're upset. And I want to cheer you. Should we talk?" she offers. "What was the call about?" 

Lee sighs again before sitting down, Faye sitting down next to him with a small smile. "My girlfriend broke up with me, telling me by text message." Lee tells her. "She thought I'm cheating on her and said stuff like I don't love her enough. I then called her and we had an argument."

"Yeah the whole crew heard the argument." Faye admits. "You- I mean, I- if you like I can stay over at your suite today, I could cheer you a bit. We could watch a movie or something. If you like." she offers, nervously playing with her curls. 

Lee can't help but smile at the sight, agreeing with a simple nod. Whenever the band is doing something together apart from the usual band stuff, it is fun. So watching a movie with his bandmate and best friend sounds like a perfect idea. "Sounds good. See you later." he approves, seeing Faye smiling back as she walks out of the room happily. 

The good thing about their tour - the Steptacular tour - is that they have day-offs, just like tomorrow. Means they're staying at the hotel today and are off to travel to their next location tomorrow. A perfect way to enjoy a free evening. 

A while later and when being back in the hotel, Lee hears someone knocking on his door. He smiles again before opening, Faye standing in front of him with a dvd and some snacks that she probably bought at a shop. "Hey!" she greets with excitement. "You're ready for a good movie?"

"Sure. Come in." Lee replies. For some reason, he couldn't hide a smile as his bandmate sat down, looking at him with her eyes being full of excitement.

"I hope you like the movie I chose. There was a small video shop near the hotel. Lisa and me went there, she offered me to help me picking out a movie because she said she's got a good taste for movies. But that was the only decent movie they had." Faye explains.

"Wait. You bought a movie just for me?" Lee asks back, feeling honored about these actions.

"Well yes I did and- was that wrong?" Faye asks, feeling guilty immediately. Maybe that seemed roo intrusive? "I just thought that- well, maybe I wasn't thinking at all."
