.........................

The harsh sun beams hindering my beauty sleep as usual. My fingers crawling towards my side only to find it vacant.

Upon feeling the absence of the familiar warmth I softly levered my eyelids one after another trying to win against the sun light peeking through the white curtains.

That's when my eyes fell upon the panic stricken man running around the room trying to slip into his wrinkled clothes in a frantic manner as if the world will collapse in the next second.

Why was he in such a hurry?

I rubbed my eyes lazily as I sat up on the bed clutching the white sheet over my bare chest underneath and spoke out my initial thoughts hoarsely " why are you in such a hurry?"

Jungkook gazed at me with a horrified look as he frantically asked me "FINALLY you are awake, now get dressed, we gotta go to the company. Bang PD nim has called for both of us."

Curiosity got the best of me as I raised one of my brows in utter inquisition. " huh? Why am I included? Ugh let me sleep"

Ignoring his tantrums I was about to lay down until his strong grip pulled me up throwing some random clothes from the closet on my face.

"Yah! What do yo-"

" someone has posted a private picture of us on twitter and its been trolling since the early morning. This is the only thing i know and the rest we can only know once we go to the company"

My throat went dry.

Swallowing the painful lump i hastily picked up the clothes moving in the shower to get ready.

"Jungkook i am afraid what if he asks us to bre-"

Putting his slender finger over my lips he sushed me pushing all the possible negative thoughts out of my head as he pulled me in a warm reassuring embrace once we entered the familiar building.

In silence we walked down the hallway towards the big air conditioned chamber as his fingers intertwined with mine.

As soon as we stepped in the room, the coldness embracing my skin couldn't suppress the beads of sweat forming across my forehead. My eyes met the other six pair tinged with expected apologetic glint.

With a heavy heart we both sat across each other waiting for the glaring gaze of the middle aged man formerly the CEO of their production company, Bang si hyuk.

We waited for him to speak cause eith every passing second the air around us was only getting heavier.

"How long are you guys dating?"

The raspy tone is something i wasnt keen on.

Before i could slip some words out of my mouth Jungkook pressed his palm over mine as he took the initiative.

"One month and a half."

"And? Decided to sleep in her house without telling anyone? You know Jungkook you are playing with fire. "

"So for that I can't have my personal life? I can't have a girlfriend? I can't love any person I please-"

" an idol's personal life is a open book to the netizens and paparazzi and I am sure you were aware of that before signing into the company"

The old man sassed back earning a little flinch from everyone as I kept my gaze down afraid to hear his next words.

"Break up with her "

And that was it. A warm tear trickled down my cheek settling over his palm.

I knew it... I tried to prepare myself ...but why does this hurt in real? Why cant i do it? ...

"PD nim! You can-"

Jungkook's pleas were unanswered as he put up a stone cold condition before everyone.

"Choose either- your career or her. And if ur choice is the latter, this group will be disbanded and the contract terminates"

The serene silence was enough to know the tumoultousness in each and everyone's  heart. And this man was already at the verge of getting broken

"PD nim... You are not serious right... How could you say this? Why cant my fans understand my feelings why is she a hindrance in my career as an idol?"

The man spoke calmly, voice softened, seeing his idols in this state was never his intention but who could change the opinion of society? Who could change the norms. Being an idol has its own price.

A price of sacrifice.

I wouldn't bear to see him like this.

"Look, listen to me Jungkook-"

After a long time i finally lwt my thoughts oit cutting him off.

"I will break up with him under the mutual condition... Call for press in the weekend and announce it as a non confirmed and photoshopped picture and deny the accuses. My face wasnt clear in the picture so no one can recognise me. "

I looked up with all the saved up courage with a weak smile spreading across my cheeks as I softly puleed my hand out of Jungkook's firm grasp and stood up on my feet.

My limbs felt so numb and wobbly... I need to get out of here.

Before I could turn my face away and leave the room mu body was pulled in the embrace as those familiar arms wrapped around my waist, his warm tears soaking my shoulders.

"Don't.. Don't do this... Please i cant lose you after i just got back your trust... Please..."

His pleas ringing against my ears. How ironic.

A night before i was in the embrace of this same man in pure happiness and ecstasy but now I am in his arms in pure sadness.

My heart broke in zillion pieces.

I let myself free from his arms as i ran down the hallway letting this crystal warm tears flowing down my face.

I could hear his footsteps steadily following me to reach out but before he could hold my wrist I halted a cab in between the road hopping in it frantically.

I could see through the rear mirror of the car, his tired restless figure as he pulled on his hair in frustration resting his hands on his knees.. In need of breath.

My sobs were muffled. It was too much to take in...

Damn you... How could you not expect this coming... We were never meant to be.

My thoughts were soon impeded by my phone vibrating against my palm.

Seeing the caller id i cursed under my breath.. Hastily i wiped off my tears
And fixed my shaky voice after clearing my throat
"Hey Mom ! What is it? So suddenly calling me?"
